Valensia's the only one that can actually sound like Queen.
But then again, Mika is not a Queen ripoff. The Darkness just stole a few riffs, and Valensia stole the sound.

Why do you want to sound like Queen? Isn't it more challanging to make your own sound?

HA HA! Brilliant!!!
And so true, by the way. This is why Valensia is not a complex artists, though his songs may be technically complex...it's still just a copy in the end, which makes it simple.

What's so complicated about it? Seems pretty easy to understand to me.
Since all Valensia does is copy Queen, he is not a complex artist. Complex performer, maybe. But not a complex artist. Half of the difficulty of being an artist is coming up with new material...which this guy clearly doesn't do...he cops out and copies other art forms that blazed the trail before him. He may choose complex stuff to copy, but it's still a copy, ergo, not original. Ergo, he is merely a performer, not an artist in the true sense of the word.
If he wanted to be a truly great performer, which he seems capable of being, he needs to stop copying other people's stuff and come up with new things on his own.

Ok, now we're talking bullshit. A performer but not an artist?? WHAT AN INSULT!! Elvis never wrote a single fucking song in his life, then he is not an artist? For fuck's sake!!
And I must ask, what did you listen of Valens' stuff? Did you listen to all of his 9 records plus the 2 V albums? I don't think so.
So go to listen, and then come back and tell me if he always copies Queen. Can't think of a Queen song like The Polka or Thunderbolt.

I listened to some various songs Valensia sings (queen covers including) and I must agree that his voice sounds nice in Queen songs and he has similar to Freddie's voice timbre, maybe just not that strong.
But I wouldn't listen to him for his own stuff. Just didn't like the style.
This is why I choose Mika. I like both his voice and music. And I like his whole album, not just a single song.

Yes, a performer...not an artist. Elvis wasn't one either. I realize I'll probably be flamed for saying that, but oh well. Performers are amazing, but if you can't come up with one creative song that is completely your own, no "borrowing" from anyone else, then you are merely a performer, though you may write songs.
It was a stretch to say that he "always" copies Queen..."always" is a dangerous word to use. But since he has copied them in the past, then, at best he is a good performer, and a mediocre artist.
Be original, for once, and come up with something original that is all your own. That's what makes a great artist.
