He's got the voice to handle some of the "delicate" Queen songs so I hope they make use of that rather than going straight to rock and roll screams. A medley would be nice especially if they could include some non-hits to spice it up. I wonder how much rehearsal they can get in. Hope it goes well.

if brian still can't get on with paul rodgers, at least give tom chaplin a call. a good voice AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST; credibility
And he did a stellar vocal of <i>It's a Hard Life</i> earlier on...
I'd love to see them do A Kind of Magic as per the 2008 tour ie. with Roger on drums and vocals, and a shredding solo from Brian. It's a well known track, works well live, is relatively 'risk free' for them to nail, and doesn't need a guest vocalist.
I have nothing against Adam Lambert and even used to appreciate his performances on American Idol.
But.
What an awful performance on EMA. I was watching with some non-Queen fans and I was really embarassed. Terrible.
I am all against this flow of criticism for Brian and Roger teaming with everybody and everything they have been doing lately, 'cause it's their 'fucking legacy' as Roger said, but I'll have to agree that this MTV performance was the ultimate disaster.
