Robbie Williams has proven to be the best entertainer in Europa for quit a long time now and it is stupid that Queen has chosen Paul Rodgers because his music is not good and he looks like an wannabe cool guy,I think a man in his 50's wearing leather pants is looking ridiculous. I think with Robbie Queen could heave been huge amongst young fans in Europa. Now only old fans and 50+ people are going to the gigs...It's a shame really

i don't think we should try and find someone like freddie, freddie was freddie and robbie is robbie. he shouldn't try and be like freddie unless it is just the way he is. i don't think we should go see the queen + tour to see someone like freddie, but rather someone who puts their own mark on queen songs. if we want to see someone be like freddie then we should just watch live at wembley, rather than a lame rip off.

Many ppl are saying that they're doing this ONLY for money...
...and than they say Robbie would be better...
...wouldn't it THAN be ONLY for the money...?
ps
If Robbie captures Queen spirit than I've missed something... I always thought about Queen as extremely talented and intelligent musicians. None of that I can say about Willims. talented...? Not really, BUT we can argue. Intelligent...? No argument, sorry. I think he really IS a moron; haven't heard one single interview with him where he showed ANY intelligence...
Thanks God It's Not Robbie!!!

Robbie better than Paul Rodgers? Maybe but as somebody already said...
I'm going to see Queen with a singer. Not Robbie Williams with a band.
Queen are MEGA-FAMOUS. Robbie is MEGA-FAMOUS. Paul Rodgers is KNOWN (in some countries). Two different mega-stars on one stage - that could never work. One megastar + one normal singer, that should work.

I think it is better that they went with Paul Rodgers. For one thing, Paul Rodgers is who THEY wanted to tour with - perhaps they feel comfortable with the idea of performing with him and his style appeals to them. I also find it to be nice that Brian and Roger didn't pick their singer based on that singer's popularity and more so went with a singer who they thought it would be fun to tour with.

Paul Rodgers may very well suck. However, he is very well respected as a MUSICIAN, something that Robbie will never have. Paul plays and creates his music, love it or hate it, and paid his dues as an artist. Robbie is a manufactured celebrity who can sing a little bit and "writes" Hallmark-style formulaic songs. Queen's credibility would've been destroyed if they toured with Freddie Wannabe Williams, because they would've looked like they wanted a new Freddie for the stage. I'm glad (apart from the naming issue) they picked a musician.

Queen star JOHN DEACON says, "I don't want to be nasty, but Robbie is no Freddie Mercury. Freddie can never be replaced - and certainly not him."

Apparently Robbie said :
"I'd have killed for a chance to sing with those guys backing me. How cool would that have been? I sang WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS for a movie soundtrack and the band said I did a good job."
BACKING ME...?
Didn't I say sth about intelligence previously...?
