Adam Lambert = Queen Frontman???

[Deleted]

I can't find proof (yet), but I will be looking...

Here's the youtube vid that has shocked me with this news



For those who don't know: Adam was the one who lost in the finals of the latest season of American Idol

or

The rocker guy with the high voice

or

The guy that Joel McHale liked ripping on for his sipposed Sexual Orientation

So, how do you guys feel about this?

[Brother Coyote]

Well the original singer for queen was bi-sexual... so I mean can the guy sing?

Cause Freddy Mercury... man that dude could snorking sing.

I'd also like to point out that if the guy came out and said "Yea, I'm gay its no big deal" Joel Mchale probably wouldn't rip on him the way he does now.

[Chainsaw]

I'm pretty sure he cannot grow facial hair, and that should be a prerequisite for being Queen's frontman.

[Brother Coyote]

Upon further inspection this guy CAN sing, but has a tendency to go nuts extending a note which I don't care for one bit. /renadnstimpyhorse

[Kevin Hamilton]

Could be worse, could be Christopher Lambert.

[Phosphor Glow]

Adam Lambert is a pretty good vocalist from everything I've heard.

I can't say I'd mind this too much. I'd actually probably prefer it to Paul Rodgers.

[Kevin Hamilton]

It'd be a thankless gig no matter who they got. I'm sure it is for Rodgers, as it'll always ( and probably deservedly so) be " Yeah, he's good, but he's no Freddy"

Which is a little unfair as Mercury was nigh superhuman vocally, but what can ya do?

Or Cody Lambert, from 90s sitcom "Step By Step."

I hate Adam, but love Queen

Quite the Quagmire...

Totally this.

[Pooh Carlson]

Adam Lambert needs to go home and never be heard from again. His screams make my brain bleed ... and not in a good way.

[Bub (BLM)]

I was done with this guy as soon as I heard the guys on the radio play a clip of him raping a Johnny Cash song.

[Dragonfly]

I didn't watch American Idol, so I have no idea what this guy's deal is or whatever. Judging solely on the YouTube clips however, I think he would be a great "fill-in" for Freddie. He seems to have the same vibe as Freddie - something I couldn't say about Paul Rodgers.

I'll take al lambert, at the end of the series run of course


The to actually answer the question, I don't know if he can sing normally, cause on the finale, he over sang with his theater style on "beth" which is just a simple song, he screams everything, (listen to his "cryin" by aerosmith)

[Rorschach]

I sure as HELL hope not. He's decent and all...but dammit, he has no business becoming the frontman for such an iconic band in this trite of a manner.

"Ooooh....a thousand little teenybopper girls think you're cute, so therefore you get to be the NEW vocalist for Queen!"

Guess that means that Miley Cyrus should be the new lead singer of AC/DC, right? I mean, a million tweens cannot be wrong, right?

f*** this popularity contest bullcrap. I hate American Idol for this crap and always WILL hate it for shoving pre-fabricated pabulum down the throats of American youth, while worthwhile artists struggle to get a fraction of the recognition that this...flavor of the month has right now.

[Mozenrath]

Freddy's dead, so it really doesn't matter what they do with the band, if you ask me. It's like if they remade the Beatles with two other guys or something, sure, go for it. It's not like other bands haven't done it.

Wow, I used "Freddy's dead" in a context outside of Krueger. That's a first for me.

Normally I'd agree, but the kid is pretty talented. Plus rumours about being the new frontman of Queen (as unlikely as I think it is) are apparently stemming from the fact that Queen is quite impressed with the kid. So, it's not like he won Rock Star: Queen or anything, but he did get his break on Idol.
