add MIKA to 50% of Queen + P.R. for a sort of "touch of Freddie"?

Mika is pure garbage, plain and simple. Who in their right mind would want to destroy more the Queen legacy in that way. At least Paul Rodgers fronted 2 classic rock bands and has a good voice yet not anything close or related to Freddie. Whomever wants Mika really really really needs their head examined.

So you agree that Paul Rodgers has a good voice, only different to Freddie's? I knew you liked him!

I like Mika's songs but his voice can be a bit annoying when he goes Scissor Sisters' high.

im not a big fan of paul rodgers but he sure as hell has more talent than mika!

For those of you who persist in comparing this Mika fellow to Freddie Mercury, please, please take the time to really listen to some of Queen's music. Put some headphones on and, listen to Bo Rhap, or, Who Wants to Live Forever, or, Stone Cold Crazy...
...or, visit youtube, and, give this a listen"

Or, hell, even these simple classics:

Though I believe Mr Mika is not without talent, and, most certainly seems to emulate Freddie, there really is no comparing the two, and, it somehow seems almost offensive to do so.

I would add MIKE MORAN to have a freddie touch, not Mika. Moran can play Keyboards, and co-compose lots of songs with Freddie, plus could give the "operatic" sound that we probably gonna miss on the new album.

agreed 100%

As said... i a, NOT comparing the two for vocals. What i DO compare, is that they have the same ideas about what music is all about. It should be entertainment, not too serious, and poppy, light, and make you feel happy, or even be able to set a mood. Both Mika and Freddie approach music with the same kind of lightness. Freddie once said: it;s disposable pop. You listen to a song, and then you drop it. You move on to the next. Mika's music has exactly the same humor, and if compared to songs like "Delilah", "Bicycle Race", Or even "The March Of The Black Queen" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" the words are so ingeniously chosen, as are Mika's... equally light-hearted, not serious... and seen in that perspective, i think it would be a jolly nice challenge to let him have a go at a few songs with Bri and Rog. Their last solo albums didn't sell very well. Happines (Rogers finest!) sold a lousy 547 copies in Holland, and we are supposed to be one of the biggest Queen-fan nations on earth...And from Brians last album, not even a thousand were sold.
So...if you look at the 2 number 1 position songs that Mika now scored, and being a major act in the USA too...he would most certainly raise the level of 50% of Queen and P.R. to an absolute high, that i don't think they will acchieve with their coming album. I think it will be a 85% Brian thing, with Roger and P.R. merely assisting him.
So... just for fun...i would vote Mika IN! Or are there voices saying Robby valentine should be given a chance to add some brilliant stuff now? Or Valensia?
But who am i....right?
