It won't be with Marc Martel, I don't think. BM and RT have said in the past that they don't want to share the stage with a Frddie sound alike. Paul Rodgers got the job in 2005 because he brought something different and he was an artist in his own right.
Like him or not that's what Adam Lambert has done too.
Having recorded and toured with Freddie, doing the same with a sound alike, to them, would be like settling for second best. With no disrespect to Mark Martel he has a voice, he doesn't have the range the range of talents that Freddie had behind that voice.
I think if they tour next year it will be with AL, in every interview where his name comes up they both praise his vocal ability.

Marc is not a soundalike in fact he has difference , its not exact at all
but
Can you imagine the vocal harmonies Brian Roger and Marc could come up with?
i find it incredible they prefer their music sung by someone who cannot sing it the way its meant to sound. Surely it would be better to at least try to present it sounding like it should? in studio they could make something amazing together.
Marc can sing Nessun Dorma for goodness sake! i mean , he really has power in his voice!
They should write an album together, they really should take the opportunity to do something before it's too late.
To avoid quality to avoid comparison to Freddie at any cost ,seems to be their PR directive, and it hurts them massively, even leading to Mocking Freddie in the process. for it seems it is ok to joke about him but never must they be seen to try and seriously be in any way copy or resurrect anything of him, unless it is him for real, in the form of some demos of his etc.
But as far as Queen live now, and Queen in studio, and the movie, they directly avoid looking as if they are attempting to give something comparable to the magic, and it results in a poor reflection of what they once were and still could be musically.
It does Queen and Freddie no favours at all. and as for the movie , it makes no sense whatsoever ! for that would be contemporaneous to his actual life, as if it was and is,
and in order to be credible IT HAS to look like it is HIS LIFE STORY and look like it is actually IS HIM.
So they make no sense to me, these choices OF THEIRS ,for they are redundant and a waste of what QUEEN should BE ABOUT, which is excellence and credibility in every department.
It is more and more apparent that They are catering to the fads and momentary fashions of celebrity popularity and what is NOW at the moment culturally relevant just for the sake of popular generational acceptance.
THE very antithesis of Queen's creative ethos for they never tried to be fashionable, but now all their choices are based upon that wanting to be seen as relevant in this dust bowl of a culture we have , WHICH IS a desert of real talent, so much so that they re adjust themselves by alluding to Shakespeare in order to regain balance after Borat!!!!
This is all crap and will be forgotten for it IS NOT QUEEN it poses as relevant but it is dross , why do they suck up to it???
and their integrity as artists has been thrown out the window by this embracing of the culturally inferior celebrity of the present day and wanting to be part of the truly irrelevant Now ! , by sacrificing their PAST!
And it is not IMPOSSIBLE for them to STEP OUT AND use WHAT IS there for them and is actual quality now.
For the seventies culture was crap in general also
it was just that QUEEn and others BUT ESPECIALLY Queen were REALLY OUTSTANDING, they weren't just another choice on the shelf, they were truly MAGNIFICENT AND VERY TALENTED MUSICIANS AND PERFORMERS.
AND THEY NEED TO REALISE THEY DONT MIX WELL WITH THE CRAP OF TODAY!
Especially without Freddie, and they are NOT capitalising on the essence and excellence of Freddie, they are avoiding IT TOTALLY!

It's interesting that a lot of people, including Roger Taylor think that Marc Martel's voice is very close to Freddie's. And that has always, for most, been the reason that he is mentioned as being such a good choice as a Queen vocalist.
He got the job in The Queen Extravaganza because of the way he sounds, and the fact he can sing. It still comes down to the fact that he fills a role, with other singers, which is different to what BM and RT want to front Queen.
To say that Adam Lambert can't sing shows a lack of understanding of what singing is. Having the view that you don't like what he does is something different to saying he can't sing.
As far as the film goes, they have an actor who they feel can play the role of Freddie. Remember that RT and BM spent a lot of time with Freddie and as such they will have a better idea of who could best fill the role. Playing a part, real or fictional, is not just about how an actor looks, it's about how they play the part, and how close they can get to the personality of the person that they are playing. Playing the part of Freddie, I would imagine will not require any, or very little singing from the actor because that's the one very recognizable thing that I believe would be very hard to replicate and therefore they would use Freddie's vocals. Unless of course they use Marc Martel!
The recording of a new album does appear to be in the pipe line, they have songs that Freddie has sung on, so why would they choose to record with Marc Martel or anyone else?

It should not needed to have to be pointed out to imbeciles like yourself , that a forum is a place of discussion , it is not a place for you to dictate to others what they can and cannot discuss.
you stupid facetious moron!
although my posts are not aimed at such gimps as yourself, for you are deaf to serious discussion and clever well thought out opinions and run around thinking your hitler because you are obviously , totally retarded as he was.

What an aggressive little boy :-)
I didn't even say that you were going to be banned for sure, I just said that you might be a potential candidate for a ban for posting that annoying kind of stuff all over the forum. But you got so angry your nearly lost your head.
Now go on or go away you tedious cunt.[/QUOTE]
You are so full of yourself aren't you?
let me see, so let me get this right so i understand you and what exactly you and your ilk in this place are about
for one
You think you have the right to dictate what i can discuss
you think your opinion is above others
you want to silence anything you disapprove of
and you think you have the right to get rid of anyone you do not agree with
what arrogance!! you have!!
OK so your against forums of discussion in general in fact
so now YOU Buzz off you little odious turd, seeing as you fundamentally disapprove of the concept of forums of discussion and what they are designed for since the days of ancient Greece!
For goodness sake what a fool you are!

if i ran a forum anyone and i mean anyone who was against freedom to speak
would be instantly banned .
such a concept should NOT be seen as a radical IDEA
In fact it should be the chief rule of ANY FORUM, because the very idea of attacking freedom of opinion in a forum ( like most things that come under attack these days) , is destroying the very principal that the provisions were made for.
Its like giving the Muslims the right to SAY they want to cut off anyones head and say they want to
if anyone says they are TEACHING AND SAYING EVIL BY PROMOTING VIOLENCE AGAINST A DEMOCRACY RULED BY LAWS AGAINST SUCH ACTS!!!!!!!
In other words it destroys the very purpose and possibly existence of THE FREE SPEECH LAWS THEMSELVES.
Same with the idiots in here who oppose people rights to freely speak post write and share their thoughts on things concerning Queen
when This is EXACTLY what QUEEN ZONE WAS DESIGNED FOR
YOU COMPLETE FUCKING IDIOTS!!

Where is your evidence? Show me at least one post where I posted shit about someone recently. At worst, I'll be suing you for spreading fake information about me without evidence.

If you had the ability to read, you would have understood that I wasn't even dictating anything. I just expressed my own opinion - that was all I did. But you obviously don't even have the ability to think, for there's a lot of space between your ears.
