I think he would appreciate some of the pop scene, but some of it he would dismiss. He would understand and applaud the business sense of Lady Gaga and how she is capitalising on something a little different, but not so different from what has gone on before.
True and a very good point.
I guess you could look at Led Zep. A band that "never believed in singles and believed in making money from intensive touring.." and as many people would put it... A band that was against "capitalising" music... Wonder what they thought when Queen shot to fame and started making money through releasing single's such as Killer Queen....

i doubt it even registered on their radar - they were the biggest band in the world almost from zepII - Bonham's death. their albums were huge sellers and their tours sold out stadiums 8 yrs before queen. zep did their thing, queen did theirs...
both bands were leaders in their respective markets (until queen lost the USA)

There was plenty of bubblegum pop in the 60s , yet Freddie liked Hendrix and The Beatles. So why would he (hypothetically) like manufactured pop now? Theres a reason he was in a rock band and not some other genre.[/QUOTE]
would that be the self-same reason that saw his involvement in:
Radio GaGa, I Want To Break free, A Kind of Magic, Back Chat, Dancer, Cool Cat, Staying Power, Dust, Dragon Attack, Dont Stop me Now, KPTOW, Pain Is So Close, One Year of Love, Invisible Man, Rain Must Fall, My baby Does Me, Delilah, All God's People, Man Made Paradise, Let's Turn It On, Mr Bad Guy, Your Kinda Lover, Foolin Around, My Love Is Dangerous, Living On My Own, Great Pretender, and Love Kills.
Fact is: Freddie may have been in a rock band, but his musical evolution was heading more and more toward the synthetic/manufactured sound over the last ten years of his career

Yes I Imagine they will probably knock out a cover of Dragon Attack as the Xfactor christmas song. And omg Delilah - just how many songs about cats do we need. Last time I checked the top 20, 18 songs were about feline misdemeanours. F it I really will go slightly mad if I hear ANY MORE guitars sounding like miaows.
And as for Man Made Paradise, the acappella outro reminds of a Jason Donavon b-side. That would just be singing in the shower for Jase.
