Yeah, that's pretty lame. It's amazing how many of these reviewers decide that Adam should be doing rock and must be a label's puppet doing pop. |

He’s also a technically better singer than Mercury ever was,..." .. so I give the guy some slack for assuming that Adam wants to sing rock... |

I love the juxtaposition of the photos posted on this page. Here we have dapper Adam networking in a tux, there we have AFL thrusting in a pair of kick-ass leggings. ILHSFM.

I never get these "Adam totally wants to sing rock/metal but is so desperate for money he's singing music he clearly hates  " people. I find all the "another generic pop guy" statements pretty funny too as if today's rock music is the absolute epitome of originality and creativity in music. I can't tell most of the bands apart :-/ |

Adam is GENIUS when singing rock (or pop, or anything really), but for fans of rock like these reviewers, pop is second rate junk, fast food, unworthy of the attention of a good singer. And looking at the singing "talents" of LFMAO, TBEP and the likes, they might have a point, at least when it comes to pop today. There is also certainly the impression that anyone doing pop music voluntarily must be a sell-out, doing it for the money and fame. They simply cannot imagine that a talent like Adam could actually LOVE pop must or funk and WANT to make that kind of art. So they blame the producers or the label or whomever. The rest of the content regarding Queen's choice was so sweet that I can live with that particular article  And as a rock fan, I personally hope I will live long enough to buy a rock-inspired album by AFL some day in the future 8-) |

I understand that POV - it is the same as for me the only "real" music is classical ... but pop is not the worst out there... rap is considered to be musical art as well.. ;D can't argue about tastes... |

But then that's implying that all rock bands lately are super talented and have amazing singers. That isn't the case at all. I'm generally a big fan of it but these days it's a slew of people seeing who can make the nastiest noises or rip-off classic rock bands the most. Personally I think Adam should stick to the genre ambiguity he has going on and keep on bringing that rock edge and sensibility to different genres he's experimenting in. The rock/pop hybrids like Trespassing and SFW are just so cool, I want to hear him breaking more ground like that :D |
