I don't know who sings the songs on Strictly, but let's hope it's better than the singers on DWTS. Pure, cheesy cover songs much of the time. And argh, I'm going to be n for two nights in a row of it LOL.

Unfortunately it's a house band and they aren't good, I've never seen DWTS but I imagine it's probably similar.

MisterCosmicc, are you a fan of Rami’s voice?

Sometimes the original songs and musc are used, it's rare. But man that female singer for DWTS covers, it's so awful.
ETA...meant to quote your post, rockchick. Sorry.

No.

What a strange question, since Rami is more known as an actor a singer.

Yeah, what’s with the question, SweetCaroline?

Still waiting for the answer on that!

Okay, you are so critical of the guy who has been successfully performing the Queen music live all over the world since 2012, but you have no criticism for the actor playing Freddie on the movie screen without singing a single note? Maybe he does the AY-O segment but I haven’t heard that for sure. Rami does a good job of portraying Freddie, but, like Adam he, too, is not Freddie. No one is!

Yes. He isn't rock and roll. I haven't watched the film, that's a statement itself.

However, if I do watch the film, it's a movie! A portrayal. With Freddie Mercury and Marc Martel's vocals... not Rami Malek's.

but the sound is why I'd go to a concert. Audio more than visuals.

Does that help?

Boy, it does burn you that Rami and the biopic is helping to get Queen many new fans. You want AL to be the savour for Queen.
Rami isn't riding on Queens and Freddie's coattails the way AL has been doing for years.
Once again, you want to compare,an actor to a singer this time, and yes we al know which one you think is better. Acting n a biopic is altogether different than singing Queen songs.

Checkmate ;-).

Yes, singing all over the world LIVE in front of thousands of people is different than reading lines on a sound stage for a couple of months.

It's a stupid compassion you made/make once again. Rami is doing a one time thing, AL isn't. Acting is different from acting,as simple as that.
Of course, you are bitter because Rami is the one getting attention these days, and AL isn't.
Oh well, AL has a Strictly appearance coming up...singing a Queen song, surprise, surprise. Nothing really groundbreaking, while the biopic, Rami and Queen's music is doing extremlely well. I know that burns for you. Too bad.
