Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?
This Lambert biz smacks of May and Taylor just not wanting to pack it in and being willing to cut corners in order to keep going.
Didn't really care much for what the band did with Rodgers, either, truth be told. Replacing a lead singer in an acceptable way is darn near impossible for an established band...sad to say, but when Freddy died, 'Queen' died with him.
These fucking trodding classic rock warhorse bands keep plodding on to mine some more coin out of a name in a manner that ends up making the very name itself meaningless.
Shame that so few of these established rock musicians have the integrity or balls to try something new under a NEW BAND NAME.
I guess money does trump soul.
Scramby eggs and bacon.
Ok....as much as people love Queen (personally I like them but am not a huge fan) is ANYONE really looking for new Queen material this badly????
I think not.
I have to say that Journey have put out two pretty decent albums with A.P. as their new singer. Not bad at all....
I liked Paul Rodgers, I have seen videos of George Michael and they were ok, but Lambert? NOT a fan. I think there are better choices out there.

I saw the geekiest looking middle aged dork absolutely nail "somebody to love"
on a talent show here called "Australias got Talent".
This show is a bit less razzle dazzle than Australian Idol
(they actually let old dudes have a crack at it).
He hit the highest notes in that song exactly like
Freddie, I was thinking, shit Queen should call
this guy. He had a very strong Euro accent when
he spoke.. I'll try and remember his name.
Not that its going to change anything, point is
I think if they had a good look around they
could find a "tribute Freddie" if thats what they
want to do. I agree this other guy is another blown chance.
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!
Yeah KK, it was a "Susan Boyle" moment... If you know what I mean...
I'd do her
That Marc Martel guy not only sounds like Freddie, he even looks like him. I know Freddie must have done a few women in between boyfriends in the early days, so maybe this guy is actually his kid?
If they ever really make a movie about Freddie, he would certainly be a better choice than Borat (who would have to lip sync, obviously)

I got excited when the band originally announced that they were creating a new Queen album using unreleased demo tracks with Freddie's vocals...finishing the songs now...but with Freddie as the lead singer and new guitar and drum parts. Now THAT was exciting.
Then, Taylor announced a month or two ago that they scrapped that idea because there wasn't enough in the vaults and they wanted to respect their legacy.
So, THIS is what they do next? AMERICAN IDOL is a fucking rock-destroyer. I used to have at least a bit of respect left for Steven Tyler. Now I fucking hate the man. I hate him so much, it makes me so angry.
I do not want QUEEN back with an AMERICAN IDOL douchebag. Nobody does! This will not sell. It will bomb.
I liked the Rodgers experiment. It wasn't exactly QUEEN, but they didn't even call it QUEEN.
Getting GEORGE MICHAEL would have been acceptable on some level...but the guy is his own mess it seems.
QUEEN is done. John Deacon is retired. Freddie is dead. The only possible hope for anything else would have been the album of unreleased songs.
But this tour just demonstrates how out-of-touch these guys have gotten...with musicals and ridiculous cover band attempts.
Hopefully, this internet backlash (which is occurring) will convince them that this is a very, very bad idea.

American Idol isn't rock, it's schmaltzy pop shit. i like a finely crafted, harmless pop song, but that shit is just...shit.
i still say Tyler is only on there because he has his own (new when he signed to AI) manager and the guy is trying to make a name for himself, and maximize his cut of Tyler's activities. and, unlike Van Halen, if there ever is another Aerosmith record, it'll be full of songs that other people wrote.

Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
They are missing the fucking boat if they don't put this guy out front:
And that boat is filled with MONEY.
And it's not like Martel is some clueless guy who doesn't have his crap together:
http://marcmartelmusic.com/
Maybe it's because he's NOT gay and they feel like for some unknown reason they think he should be.
I think they chose Lambert because he's a "name" with some controversy surrounding him.
Queen are done and the fork is rusty...
RIP Freddie
Simon Cowell is a fucking cunt. period.
The fuckface is trying to team up with Will Smith, and create a show about dj's. Now, I'm a recent EDM music convert...to try to even remotely turn it into his shitty coca-cola/mcdonalds type of mass produced shit is an insult to the genre, and music itself.
I wish nothing but ill-will against that guy, for what he did to music is a fucking crime that only sammy hagar has matched.
Still waiting for a relevant Browns Team
Exactly.
Is this where we are in society, where we don't get enjoyment out of truly talented people who can do their craft well, and now we're reduced to laughing at other people's humiliation. fucking pathetic. Fuck corporations for taking over our radio and our tv, and just leaving us with this fucking garbage.
I saw this guy on American Idiot doing a Elvis tune or something and thought he was ok. Didn't he play with Queen on there ?? It's stupid. The Paul Rodgers thing was cool but this is like trying too replace Mercury with the same guy !! I hope they put his name in front of it like they did with Rodgers !!
This notion is ridiculous to the point of laughable.
I thought Brian May had retired to become a full-time astrophysicist or some such science genius?
Adam Lambert's an asshole, with marginal talent.
If Queen wanted to do something cool they should have recruited George Michael to be the new singer after the performance at the Freddie tribute show a number of years ago. Sure, he's a glory hole queen...but he sang THE SHIT out of "Somebody to Love" at that show.
And who knows.....maybe it would have saved George from getting to the state he's in these days.....

He Will Rock You: Adam Lambert Finally Confirms Queen Performance at Sonisphere Festival
Adam Lambert's 2009 collaboration with Queen was arguably one of the best "American Idol" finale performances ever, and when Adam reunited with Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast last November, that astoundingly awesome performance renewed fans' hope for even more "Queenbert" duets. And now, after week of rumors, Adam has revealed that he will soon be fronting Queen again, at Britain's Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth Park on July 7.
"I can finally confirm: I have been invited by Queen to sing one very special concert!" Adam tweeted Monday morning. "Sorry to be coy about the details the past few weeks, but I made a promise to keep it under wraps as best I could. Gonna be a surreal night!"
The "Queenbert" Sonisphere concert will actually mark Queen's triumphant return to the setting of their final 1986 concert with the late, great Freddie Mercury--which makes the occasion even more auspicious for all parties involved.
"Judging by my incoming mail, this decision will make a lot of people very happy," said Queen guitarist Brian May in a press release announcing July's Sonisphere appearance. "It's a worthy challenge for us, and I'm sure Adam would meet with Freddie's approval! And what better place to revisit, and walk those emotional paths than Knebworth? It will be a rush."
Now excuse me, while I rush over to Yahoo! Travel to book my U.K. flight...
In the meantime, watch Adam's 2011 EMAs performance with Queen, alongside the original Queen lineup's legendary 1986 Knebworth performance, below. I personally appreciate the fact that while Adam easily nails every single Mercury-rising high note in the Queen catalog, he never tries to be a Freddie copycat; he's always himself, which is actually the most respectful way he--or any guest Queen singer--could ever honor the memory of an icon as unique as Freddie

Thats not the clip I mentioned earlier in the thread, but Im still looking.........
It was another guy again.
They should get this George Michael...
Princess of Sweden, Victoria, just gave birth to a girl. Brian May and Roger Taylor were slightly disappointed, but won't totally rule out the possibility of her too becoming a singer of Queen in the future.
I do think there is an agenda in the corporate media to use the media to dumb society down. I live in Wyoming. Not exactly a cultural mecca but I went to my daughters school talent show and was blown away by how many good singers and musicians we have locally. I think there still is a lot of legitimate talent but it's not getting the corporate blessing. I think there are two worlds, the real one and then the one the corporate media creates which is to keep us distracted and fighting with each other while they pick our pockets.Is this where we are in society, where we don't get enjoyment out of truly talented people who can do their craft well, and now we're reduced to laughing at other people's humiliation. fucking pathetic. Fuck corporations for taking over our radio and our tv, and just leaving us with this fucking garbage.
The problems with the corporations is they no longer reflect a large base of stock holders who vote at proxy meetings. The corporations are owned by funds and the funds are owned by financial institutions and the financial institutions are owned by a few big banks who want to control everything and to do that, you have to dumb down the public and keep them distracted. Heaven forbid they inspire people and get them to be creative and think on their own. Monopolies never want to empower people ever.
Have the three remaining members become deaf and stupid?
How can they seriously hire such a lame bathtub moaner?
Paul Rodgers is a kickass singer, but I agree about George Michael doing a very good job twenty years ago or so.
But there can be no Queen without Freddie Mercury.
Auditions continue. I think we have a winner.
