Going to church and spending time (and in some cases money) IS paying tribute/homage to something you believe in. If my memory serves me right from when I did go to church, there is a hymn entitled ''This Is My Tribute''.
There are many different levels of admiration for idols. Some take it to extremes and form what are called cults. This is an example of paying tribute. There was a few months ago some mention of a religion with Freddie as a saint (I'm not going to bother to look it up).
I put that ''and NO'' statement cause I didn't want it to be read into incorrectly. I wanted to ensure that what I was expressing was interpreted correctly.
I suggest, SomebodyWhoLoves, that you find a better arguement that ''shut up''. Don't stifle those who are in rebutal against you. It gives you more room to point out their faults and foolings (of which you have provided plenty for us).
I also would highly reccommend picking up a thesaurus. You have used some form of the word idiot a grand total of seven times (and no, I'm not counting the ones where you said stupid successively).
As for an apology for your remark on actions you think should be done to me, I should expect an apology. I do. Though it could never hold the value of an apology of a person who is competent enough to understand the compassion of such an act, it still needs to be done.

Many thanks to Bob and Zeni.
I apologize for calling you a cunt, and saying you should be tied, bent over, and fisted.
However, I do not apologize for calling you an idiot, although that is not nice. I disagree with you on your use of the word tribute. I advise you to think before you speak before you irritate others more intelligent than you are.
i dont know why you hate robbie, hes doing his own tribute,and aaat teh same time, he let people form ohter era get into queen, im not a robbie´s fan, but hes doing fine....we should be angry with stupid punkers, and metal people who steals Queen ideas, and are destroying music, not with people who aredoing good music,

At the end, Robbie didn't get the chance to be the frontman of this 2005 Queen Tour! :D

...wow, you gotta love the irony of this guy calling himself "SomebodyWhoLoves" -although I get the impression he forgot the word "Himself".

Thank you, sincerely, for your apology.
I don't have a problem disagreeing with you, nor do I think you're an idiot (for your definition of 'tribute'). That's the only reservation you have against me, right?
But why is it so important to you? What makes you think we should all think the exact same? How boring would that be?
You're taking this a little too close to heart if it's irritating you. Don't take it so personal. Perhaps you could sway us all to think differently if you'd present calm, thought-out arguements versus insults. Civility brought to the table would support an intelligent environment in which we all could discuss this.
Please don't allow your rage for being disagreed with to overcome your responses. If you're afraid that if I disagree with you I won't listen, that is entirely wrong. It's always good to look at how others see things, if not to agree but to indeed disagree. By doing this you can gather your own thoughts on what you think with negative perception.
***Most of all, SomebodyWhoLoves, please remember: I'm not attacking you; I'm disagreeing, that's all.

At least somebody sang a Queen song at Hyde Park!
Robbie Williams is definetely not the best person for that but it can be worse. I liked Green Day better.
Wannabe - that fits Robbie the best.

I think Robbie does the best Freddie impression in the world. He has is own style, sure, but it is infused with Freddie. it is utterly fantastic.
He is a showman in the same vein as Freddie. And it is great that this person was such a stellar performer at Live8.

The word you're searching for is 'Brit';. Before calling others idiots, perhaps you should be able to name those properly whom you are targeting. But at least it's an upgrade from 'britons', as you were saying at the beginning of the topic.
Clearly you are motivated by anger. The simple fact is this: Art is relative to one's tastes.
i've never heard anyone except that renowned brainbox george w bush call people from britain 'brits'. british is what i would use or britons as in arthur king of the britons
Nobody wants to hear how someone dislikes a certain artist. Of course everybody can't like every artist. So, instead of using up all your energy towards your hatred of an artist, why not spend some time talking about those whom you love? That's much more constructive, I'd say.

I haven't read anything further than the first two posts for this thread mainly 'cos all I'm gonna find is everyone bitching one of two opposing opinions;
1 - Robbie IS a cheap Freddie-impersonator
2 - *see above, but replace the over-exaggerated 'IS' with an equally over-exaggerated 'ISN'T'... Y'know, wouldn't it have just been easier to copy + paste the first one and edit it myself :P*
So now I'll just say my bit;
Robbie is a fucking cheap Freddie-wannabe - 10x worse than an impersonator 'cos wannabes just ARE. However, he falls short of succeeding because he's a prat - he can't do anything with just a little bit of class, whereas Freddie could and did. Robbie's a try-hard, talentless, attention-seeker and I will puke if Brian and Roger let him belt out a rendition of WWRY or any other Queen song ever again. Have to admit, I'm losing my respect for Roger and Brian when they just flog off their own songs to wankers like Robbie...

i am sick and of comeing to this forum every week and hear you constantly criticing queen about there decisions of who they let use their songs first of all its personal choice who you like we all like queen but. they wrote the songs they can give them to who they like and its personal choice whether you like robbie williams or anyone else who uses queen songs. second im sick of you complaining about paul rogers you would have complained about anyone else who did it so if you dont like dont him go see him its that simple and stop calling it freddies band he admited the were four very talented people and they all wrote songs so its not freddies band its queen so stop complainig about all thes completley pointless things.

Perhaps it's only because I stand here as a genius among mental midgets that my anger puzzles so many of you, who see nothing wrong with an illegitimate no talent hack prancing about in dead Freddie's skin in a pathetic and obvious attempt to replace and even surpass dead Freddie's place. Every celebrity in Live8 wanted to be the next Freddie Mercury. From the sickening display of ego from Mariah Carey. To the so pathetic it's funny squabbles between U2 and Paul McCartney over who should open. And finally, to the laughably pathetic attempts of Robbie William who can't sing, can't dance but thinks he is Freddie Mercury. And I had to restrain myself from puking from the sickness I felt in my stomach. The strong pungent stink of Irony at what the whole Live8 event had become made me truly sick. Irony because what started off as a truly genuine, honorable goal to help the dying Africans ended as a gigantic galactic sized display of ego from the stars and celebrities who were strutting onstage like proud peacocks in a vain attempt to steal the show, and become the next Freddie Mercury. And you stupid people ate it up.
Maybe the earth has become such a hell that people are unable to distinguish anymore between genuine authenticity and a cheap imitation, or maybe they don't care. What counts now is the cheap thrill. A cheap Freddie is better than no Freddie. It doesn't matter if Robbie can't sing, or dance, or isn't even remotely charming. The important thing is, he is paying tribute to Freddie. That's like saying a big pile of fresh steaming brown shit isn't all shit if there's a peanut in there.
You people sicken me. If any of you had any decency among you, you'd join me in repudiation of what Live8 had become, and what Robbie Williams is. He's a pile of shit.
In a way, I am glad that Queen and Freddie Mercury were not part of Live8. Unlike 99% of the stars of Live8, Freddie was genuine, and real, and so were Queen. I'd like to keep the memory of that intact.
