Freddie Mercury was Queen.

hmm better let John, Brian, and Roger know

I just meant that he was a lot of their stage personality and to the casual observer, Brian, Roger and John might as well have been session guys for him. We know a hell of a lot better, but to anyone who isn't really a fan.......

I'm kind of on the fence here. We've seen from the tribute concert that good voices can do justice to the stuff Freddie sang, but the trick is you'd probably need more than one guest singer to cover the kind of range he had. Axel Rose did fine with the metal part of Bohemian Rhapsody, for instance, but can you picture the guy singing Who Wants to Live Forever or Radio Ga Ga?

Oh, and before I forget...

Are you homophobic or what? Comparing Elton's voice with Boy George's and Joey's voices, Elton John is by far better. And though Elton is No.2 for me (obviously Fred is the best), I wouldn't like him to replace Freddie. I'm sorry... but it's not appropriate to call Elton John disgusting!

Well, I just don't like those guys. Elton John's voice is not as good as people say. I hate what he did to BoRhap and TSMGO. He makes the songs somehow sound ridiculous.

And even if I was a homophobe, so what?!?

Oh, he is homophobic. No doubt about it. It's the inbreeding that gets them, so let's have some joint sympathy.

I just hope he didn't actually graduate grade school without learning to write 'noise' and 'disgusting'

Whaaaaat the fuuuuuck. Why is everyone so quick to replace Freddie? Why can't you just... let it be?

Yeah, c'mon nobody can replace Freddie, that's obvious. If you really are a Queenfan than you should have known that. Queen are: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon, nothing more, nothing less. And I think John was right about not co-operating with Robbie Williams (We Will Rock You (in this song Robbie makes a fool of John, screw you Robbie!!) and We Are The Champions), just as John said: Nobody can replace Freddie! Even if you are that good as Freddie was!

please stop this kind of topics... NO ONE COULD EVER REPLACE FREDDIE!

You damn fool!

No replacement. Freddie can't be replaced, period. I think a guest singer here and there could be appropriate, but only if they have proven themselves worthy of fronting Queen. Justin, from the Darkness, is quite good and quite a showman and could very well do a great job. He couldn't, however, replace Freddie or anything Freddie ever offered to Queen. Ideally, I would like to see a tour of Brian, Roger and John (or, if they can't twist John's arm, just Brian and Roger with a guest bassist). Brian and Roger could certainly handle the vocals, even if lyrics had to be toned down an octave or two. Brian has a wonderful voice and is fully capable of performing any given song in the Queen catalogue.

You're 100% right.

Are you judging Elton John's voice by what he did to TSMGO and BoRhap? It's totally unfair, cos those two songs weren't writen for Elton's voice, but for Freddie's and none of the artists at the FM Tribute Concert weren't able to sing the way Freddie did.
If you wanna talk about Elton's voice, then let's talk about HIS songs, not Queen's. And I'm sorry, Elton has a very good voice and you'd have known it if you had listened to some of his albums, not only to his greatest hits. When you listen to a compilation of his songs, you get the (wrong) impression that he sings mostly ballads. Obviously, his voice is pretty much the same when singing the same kind of songs. But if you listen to his albums, you'll find that he's able even to handle the rockers very well and his voice is very fit to the songs he's written.

And even if I was a homophobe, so what?!?

I'm sorry but calling Elton John "discusting" (!) sounds pretty much as a very homophobic remark.
If it's not homophobic, then it's unpolite, cos, as you see, there are people in here who actually like him and it's kinda insulting to them...

O.K I don't want to hear any more shit about Joey Tempest, Boy George or anyone else replacing
Freddie.
Queen=Freddie/Brian/Roger and John

I will replace Freddie - Since Ive Just Lost My Job - The Wages Are Great Apparently!!!

I was hopin' someone would agree with me. I hope in the near future, Brian and Roger will finally say one way or another as to whether they have any intentions of touring again or not.

If thats the case then I vote for the Cheeky Girls with Geri Halliwell on backing vocals.... you cant get any more laughable than that surely
