I think its kind of cool, actually.
Like when Shane West started singing with the Germs after playing Darby Crash in a movie.

Paul Rodgers has an outstanding voice. I never heard him with Queen but am having a hard time seeing how his vocal style could work. He's about as far from Freddie Mercury as you can get.

his voice is so distinguishable and recognized that it didn't fit, as good as he is.
Your were thinking Bad Company or, Free, for the old timers (like me  ) with Queen backing him up.

| | | | I think it's a pretty good fit stylistically. Lambert is very theatrical in presentation, definitely has a huge vocal range, and is very precise in his singing. Nothing against Paul Rodgers...just seems like Lambert would be a more natural choice.

|  | He's Sumthin, Alright.. | | Join Date: Jan 2003 Location: Bucks County, PA | | Paul Rodgers definitely kept the interest going (always a ***??? with a new singer, with Rodgers, at least he deserved a better initial reaction based on his legacy).. But I never saw the match. Great singer yes, but no connection. Kinda like Mick Jagger fronting Metallica.
That said, Lambert is a nice fit for Queen.
I'll still never see them without Mercury.
Like seeing Journey without Perry. eh.
It's like getting the store brand soda.

I think not. With his skinny jeans and goth eye liner, in his own way he's just as bad as Rodgers in my mind.
Long Live Freddie Mercury, the King of Queen. Every singer who tries to fill those shoes comes up dreadfully short.

But if it makes Brian May happy, and some fans. Ah, it's all good.
Freddie..  |

I might go to see Brian.
John Deacon is the only sane one in the group. It ended when Freddie passed on.

And using an American Idol singer to replace Freddy? I don't want to live on this planet anymore - YouTube | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
