yes I've seen that! very good! great details!

It seems is a staple in his new tour. He is using Freddie's voice and footage, so Queen Productions should have given the green light.

He looks so happy singing it

Not impressed at all, the Madrid one, on YT is positively crap, dodging the high notes, conveniently letting the audience take over in parts, the classic case of other vocalists unable to match Freddie.
Pink's version still stands out.

Utter shit.

Garbage. An example of what might have been had Mr Williams taken over the vocal duties. AL is way, way above it both in terms of vocal delivery and stage presence.

Robbie Williams couldn't carry a note in a bucket.

His phrasing is unstable, his voice seems to be shot and not THAT great when he was in his "prime era" and some lines (esp. rock part) sound like he's having trouble pooping... If this is what Queen + Robbie Williams would look like if wishes of those against Q+PR would come true, then I'm happy that it didn't materialised. I was one of those who wondered what if Robbie became the "+" in Queen (around the time WWRY/WATC covered by him came out) and now I must admit that Lambert's phrasing is more stable, just better.

I agree with master marathon runner, Pink really delivered a stellar rendition of BoRhap and I think that it was also "approved" by the band as before the last "never let me go" you can hear part of Queen's original backing track used ("echoed vocal harmonies").

Oh, don't get me wrong. If Robbie wants to perform the song live, and has the blessing of QP to use the backing tracks, he should by all means have at it.

It's all in good fun.

He just can't sing the song.

not bad cover

Dodging the high notes? Freddie routinely did that himself constantly!

A little bit like George Michael at the tribute, but everyone loves that

Michael's tone is really nice though, and rather well suited to Queen in my opinion (as well suited as a voice other than Freddie's can be).
