5 Singers Who Could Replace Freddie Mercury In Queen

Why do Queen fans take everything so literally. The article doesn't Freddie SHOULD be replaced, just lists five singers that COULD replace him. And Adam Lambert is #1 in the author's opinion. Tee hee hee.

People on this forum are either too sensitive and think that a replacement would be blasphemy because of course Freddie Mercury is God. Even so, would Freddie give a fuck? Nope.

Or, they're hard headed and will never change their mind even if someone could actually do a better job than Freddie did. Is that impossible? No it is not. But these people on this forum do think it's impossible. Because no one will ever be better than Freddie Mercury in the future history of the world. Which is just like those Elvis fans who will never let up that Freddie is better than Elvis.

Being too much of a fan is not a good thing. You'll miss out on great music. Keep an open mind!

Of course no replacing!! That`s not possible...
Everyone knows that!!?!!
But would love to hear Queen again - for me only 2 of the 5 "suggested" singers are possilbe - PAUL RODGERS or GEORGE MICHAEL!!!

I made a reply at the bottom of the page, and ironically, because it disagrees with the views of the original author, it rather coincidentally hasn't been displayed, yet there are a few comments that agree with him and, surprise surprise, they are there for all to see! Oh the joys of free speech...

Paranoia and utter drivel into the bargain: it happens to us all sometimes, and a quick refreshing of the page would have sorted it. If your logic was true, then your post above would vanish, too.

Welcome to QZ, "newbie": it's amazing how you talk like some of the paranoid users (particularly on the Fanthology threads) already, but have only been here 5 minutes lol :p

I'm pretty sure he tried posting on the actual website's comment section, and not QueenZone. The four comments below the article on the site are quite positive. Although they are within their bounds to censor like that, it is pretty silly as it disables actual discussion from happening.

I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer, but I yes, I was referring to the website on which the comments were made and not on here. Sorry about the confusion chaps!

But yes, I agree, these authors post these comments with their own opinions on show, but no-one is allowed to make a comment that goes against that view, thus disabling any form of discussion. I'd like to hear some other peoples points of view against. My comments, but that is seemingly not possible now. it is disgraceful really, but then again, it's everywhere in today's society unfortunately, so putting up with it is the only option.

Anyway, sorry about the off topic rant, I'll retire back to my cave now!!

I cannot speak as to why your comment did not appear on the site, I have no control over it what so ever but among the many articles there at whatculture.com, you will find many MANY people disagreeing with a point the author made, etc. As to your reference to "free speech," you have no right to it EVERYWHERE on the internet. Site editors can pick and choose as they see fit depending on if it falls into their posting guidelines. Finally, if you are looking for a "debate," the comments section following an article aren't really the ideal place for it, afterall it's not a forum. You found your way here and got across what you had to say so what harm has been done?

There is only ONE man on the planet that has aVoice like that Angel Freddie and that is Gary Mullens. Listen to him on you tube and judge for yourself

Not entirely true. Some people just want to be spared the Lambert 2.0 adventure, that's all.

i'd really like to hear "Somebody To Love", "Love of My Life" and "Save Me " belted out by Lemmy of Motorhead...think he has a delicate subtlety to his voice that'd really compliment those songs

Fair enough and the simple and easy solution for them is to ignore any such future effort when/if it comes to pass.

No more Lambert! Marc Martel. If they wrote some new material and Marc sings...I'll buy it. I do like George Michael too...PR...not so much.

Klaus meine vocalist with the scorpions would be a good choice.listen to love of my life sung by him live.hes got a fantastic range and excellent voice.

Klaus meine .hes a fantastic singer. Listen to him sing love of my life live.better than freddie.

^ You like your point SO much, you had to make it twice??? :p

Bullshit about him being better than Freddie, btw. Of course he's great - but not better.

Nice joke. He may sing good, but he's not Freddie!
