I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but what the hell. I think Brian's voice is terrible. It sounds really squeaky and womanly and is totally inappropriate for rock. The only song on which it sounds fine is "I don't want anyone teasing...", which is more of a blues.
So I was wondering, why the hell didn't he get a lead singer for his solo tours? Or even more of them. He should just stick to his guitar playing, which is excellent.

he's Trying!;)..and in some cases its nice...
listen to "No One But You" And "All Dead"
in studio it's great, live SUCKS
But one thing. I'm going to the tour and I will prefer Brian singing sertain songs above Paul Rodgers. Cause when Brian or Roger sings them you really got the feeling your seeing Queen. How false it may be.
on the queen albums it´s really nice to hear brians voice on one or maybe two songs, but a whole album, like his solo albums, don´t sound good whit just him singing.. Maybe he dont have the best voice for rock&roll, but it certainly fits some of his songs like 39.
And finally, I like his voice live, its just like the voice on the albums.

I don't think he's a great rock singer. His songs like All Dead, Sail Away Sweet Sister and Too Much love Will Kill you are excellent examples of why he is better off not bothering with the rock and roll stuff.
I will say that Resurrection redeems him, it's great.

I like Brian's voice. It fits with the songs he sang on Queen albums - Some Day One Day, 39' Long Away, Sail away sweet sister... which are all songs that I love
You're not gonna get flamed for this,it's your opinion.To be honest I agree that Brian sounds womanly on some songs but he is appropriate for rock.I like many of his songs when he sings them.
Some times he's damned good but some other times he isn't that good....

i agree with the initial idea to a point.Also i feel Brian is very forceful about singing and the band was hurt as a result.Some songs like sail away sweet sister and sleeping on the sidewalk would have been hits with Freddie singing.I think Roger could have been better served not to sing as much as well.
I think Brian's voice is nice, but he hasn't got much volume in his voice.
he sings a calm song like 'Another World' quite good live, it's really a pleasure to listen to. But when it comes to volume and he has to sing loud to rocky songs like 'Tie your mother down' it is... lets say, less good. ;)
And don't start about Rog's voice. Roger rocks!!
Roger AAAAHHHHH!

Well, Leon's already said what I was gonna say...
I LOVE Brian's voice.
i love his voice! it's nice, sweet, and promising...'course, i dont have any of his solo albums, but songs like '39 and the bit he sings in the begining of WWTLF is really nice
in studio it's great, live SUCKS
I agree but I think some live stuff he can pull off, he is too much of a dramatic singer
