New takes on well-known tracks - A BIG LIE

Ok, guys, in Germany only The Freddie/Jackson-Track can't be bought separately at i-Tunes.

Now I'm waiting for the question "who the hell ist Freddie Jackson?" ;-)

( imagine a very bored voice) ...." and who is Freddie Jackson ?"

Freddie and Jacko's love child maybe? ....lol!

Freddie Jackson is a fairly well known and successful R&B singer from the 1980's- 90's

Notably the guy who sang the old jam "You Are My Lady".

Don't think there's MUCH relation to any other famous Jacksons though it's a possibility *(the black exodus from the south in the 30's- 50's)


You'll hear him on R&B stations

Did you all see the xfactor last night?
It was Michael Jackson vs Queen.
That guy Andrea Faustini Has a much better voice than Adam Lambert and put him to shame.
Andreas version of "Somebody to love" was great and had a lot
of emotion put into it.
Oh and by the way just as i reported 3 weeks ago to brenski's
ignorant rantings, last night on the xfactor it confirmed Queen have sold 300 million records worldwide.
You see the truth does come out in the long run!
300 MILLION RECORDS! Probably more if Freddie was still around!

Gerry, not everything told on TV is the truth, is it???? But, I have also to say, 300 Million is possible. And it also absolutely doesn`t matter. It`s not a contest.

I thought I was gonna have a fit when that guy did boh rhap, I swear when I become prime minister the next one who murders that song gets 25 years hard labour ! Including Mr Lambert. By the way Q+AL are on x factor next Saturday.....love kills anyone.

300 MILLION RECORDS IS NOT 300 MILLION AlBUMS!!!!!!!

YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT WAS THAT THEY SOLD 300 MILLION ALBUMS, THEY HAVENT, STOP ADJUSTING FACTS TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN WHAT THE FACTS ARE SAYING, ENOUGH POSTS ON HERE HAVE SHOWN THAT YOU ARE WRONG.

GET OVER IT!!!

it was a million times better
than the awful shit(Queen Forever) that May & Taylor are putting out now![/QUOTE]


What, an album on which Freddie (god) is the singer is (quote) awful shit. How dare you blaspheme about the work of god.

This heretic should be cast into the fire's of hell.

On the other hand maybe they could re record Queen Forever with Adam Lambert as vocalist, thus removing your god from this "awful shit".

if you dont like the album, then dont buy it !!!
had my copy yesterday and am very pleased with it.have al the albums they made and am a fan for almost 40 years.
be pleased with what they do or dont listen to them any more.

Queen Forever is just a compilation album with one new track and 2 reworked songs, so get over yourselves if you think this is acceptable to long supporting fans?
Just like Absolute Queen another compilation album.
These albums are mainly to sweep up new admirers of Queen and not intended for us long standing fans.
You people on here still do not accept Queen have sold 300 million records and yes that is album sales as singles do not exist anymore, these figures have to be album sales.
Yes Queen + AL are on xfactor soon, but dont hold your breath because it will be awful, ha ha !

So you've said it yourself. The new album has it's own place and reason for being. It's about new fans. What's wrong with that???

Can't you fucking understand that whether or not singles are still sold. Actually they are, hence the weekly chart. It doesn't have to be a 7 inch piece of plastic. The combined record sales over the bands selling span, 1973 onwards INCLUDING the 70's and 80's when actual single sale were huge has been included in that 300 million figure. Your original post was that they sold 300million albums they haven't.

Again facts speak louder than Gerrald, shout as he might.

vocal harmony: Firstly there is no need to be aggressive.
300 million sales includes everything i would imagine.
It still is very impressive to most artists.

There is no way that MJ sold anywhere near 1billion records though - even if you included all his albums, singles , digital tracks, music videos and DVDs sold. He probably sold around 205-220 million albums tops - still a great total. Where the hell do the X Factor gets these figures from?! I think if you add all Queen's album sales (about 180 million from what I've seen) singles, digital tracks etc then their figure is a lot more reasonable.

Oh and as for the thread title I agree entirely - it's a big fucking lie. How can shaving a few seconds off a song mean 'new takes'?! If they had just done some additional work to one of these tracks then yes they could get away with it. As it is it really does stink.

I'm fairly sure Jackson has sold much more than that.
