They should've made an international brand out of this, really. Or... maybe they already have. LOL

Audience do not sound anything like Bicycle Race. If you think thats similar you can almost find similaries in any song. [/QUOTE]
If I didn't listen to Marc on radio show talking about it, I'd probably agree with you.

Well, maybe the "rip-off" wasn't the right word for it, I apologize. Being overall Queen-esque and having the "Audience, Audience" line gave it such effect. Of course, I doubt that B&R will sue Marc for plagiarism anytime soon. If anything they must be flattered. Something like "Hey, this boy didn't just stole our shit, he's fucking with it in pure creative way", hehe. Actually I'd like him to continue... you know... messing with it. Preferably in studio with the guys themselves.

lol I finally listened to "Audience". Hard to get the connection but if he says so...

I think the only direct connection is the Audience Audience riff is like Bicycle Bicycle. Indirectly, it's quirky and sung in a stylized way a bit reminiscent of Lazing On A Sunday and Seaside Rendezvous.

yes I can see that, totally

Christmas in July! If you like Audience, check out what MM did with the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas, a song that I never liked much till I heard this version. (There are already a couple live versions on YT with crappy sound that don't do the vocals justice. I uploaded the album version.)

I'm listening now to the[url=http://www.queenzone.com/downloads/1316533/-covers-queen-extravaganza-edmonton-ab-canada-2012-07-03.aspx] audio recordings from Edmonton[/url]. I have to note that Marc finally nailed the "I had a dream when I was young" part in One Vision properly. Funk me, Freddie, that was so sharp and good. Why oh why... Who needs the North American tour of Q+AL (besides the glamberts, of course), when there may be delicious Q+MM that will sound almost like Queen. Are you effin kidding me?

Again, Lambert who?

THANK YOU! I've been asking the same question and I would love it so much if only...

Man from Zanzibar, that paragraph you wrote needs to be forwarded to MM! Care if I do?

Hahaha, go for it, dear. Though, I think it's the Q+ boys, who should give it a thought (and it's their call, after all). Now there's two possible guest singers to go with on the US tour  Very famous one and vocally appropriate one (to the legacy of Queen). Also don't bother with people around the world in countries like Brazil and Italy begging for the international gigs, they're just daydreaming, lol.

This is one mighty sexy version of that Christmas carol, dare I say. Never heard this Downhere version before, actually.

I love it, I agree, unfortunately, AL has a very well organized following who are probably skewing the favorable side of the feedback, such is the way of popular American Idol performers.

I don't really have anything against Q+AL, at least during this run, but if it prevents any Q+QE (MM) then I would be very disappointed. Marc has the sound I want to hear paired with Queen's music.

Or maybe it's just a small minority of Queen fans who are against the whole thing because they refuse to let Brian and Roger evolve into different directions.

The tens of thousands of people who have seen the band don't seem to have too much issue with it !
