The FM Tribute wasn’t Plants best performance but he's still one hell of a singer, but wouldn’t say he was better the Freddie
Of course he wasn't!
It's just that more people like Zepp than Queen, Stairway to Heaven than BoRhap.

Robert Plant is very very good.
Saw them a few times.
BUT,
Freddie was Great.
Ride 'em cowboy!

Robert Plant is good but better than Freddie...NO!The only one who can compare with Freddie is Bono but he isn't as glorious as our favourite vocals!

No way Bono is better that Robert Plant, and you can`t compare him to Freddie. I`m not saying he`s worst, he`s just different.
Take care
I think both are great singers but Freddie would probably have been honored to be second to Robert Plant - wasn't he always a big Zeppelin fan?
I'm shocked, Plant said at the Tribute concert that people were having to change key to sing the songs Freddie did - that just shows Freddie's true diversity and ability to sing most of the notes out there! which further proves that no one can and will be able to sing as well as he did, that includes Robert Plant.Stupid polls, who'd have 'em?!

Only Innuendo was "shite". Crazy Little Thing was great. And if you think Plant is shit then you have no taste.
Bono??
Cwazy Little Thing Called Love was great??
You guys have been in the sun too long. You gone loco!

I just saw Robert Plant with his new band, The Strange Sensation, live in Portsmouth, VA at the Harbor Center Pavillion on July 4th. Granted, he sucked at the Freddie tribute, but if you could have heard him belt out "Whole Lotta Love" as an encore on the show of the 4th, you'd change your outlook.
Robert's voice is in true top form. He sounds brilliant. Freddie is my favorite vocalist of all time, I grant that, yet Robert is right up there with him. I've always thought so. I equate Robert and Freddie with other great vocalists of the last century - Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Pavarotti and the like.
Just because one poll lists Robert above Freddie, that doesn't mean anything. I think all of us would agree that Freddie is tops, any day.

This is a bit like comparing Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. Two individuals head and shoulders above the others.
I was fortunate to see both Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury perform live, and both were excellent. I saw Led Zeppelin perform for the first time in the U.S. in late January 1969 at the Fillmore East in New York City. They were the warm-up group for Iron Butterfly and managed to steal the show. At the time, Led Zeppelin was a group nobody had heard of. But Robert Plant put on an incredibly powerful vocal performance, and Jimmy Page put on a dazzling display of guitar skills. That concert put Led Zeppelin on the map in the U.S. As an aside, Iron Butterfly were also very good that night and did a masterful job with My Mirage and Inagoddadavida, or whatever it is.
I saw Queen perform live in Chicago in September 1980, and twice in August 1982. All three performances were spectacular. Freddie was superb, Brian was brilliant, John laid down incredibly solid bass lines, and Roger was energetic on the drums to the point of exhaustion. Unbelievable.
But comparing Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury is futile. Both were incredibly powerful singers with great range. But I personally have a strong preference for Freddie. As a musician, I have always felt Queen's music to be far superior in complexity, depth, harmonics, variety, and mix/blending of the recorded music. And Freddie was a master performer and front man, always getting the crowd involved to the point that he had them in the palm of his hand. Unfortunately, I always found Zep's music to be too hard driving, musically lacking, and sounded too much the same. But I have to give credit to Robert Plant for having a great set of lungs.
So give me Freddie and Queen any day of the week. On the other hand, my brother is a Led Zep and Robert Plant fan. Since vocalists and music fall into the category of art, perhaps beauty lies in the eyes (and ears) of the beholder.

Exceptionally well put, Rocky.
I think Robert Plant has a great voice, but if I were to compare him to Freddie....their voices are very different, I must say I enjoy them both but....
