I'm not as obsessed with Freddie as I was before, I think less of him now and focus on other things, but he's still my tip-top idol! And you really can't explain why you idolize someone, it's just there. Like if I tried explaining why Freddie is my idol, I'd be going, "Um, um, um." for hours.

I can't think about him without feeling silly inside. I know all about his faults, but I also know about his talent - his musical genius - his drive to perform his best despite his condition. I admire him. I respect his energy, his focus, his arrogance. On top of all that, I think he was dreamy to look at.
BUT... the man has been dead for 14 years. I never met him. Never saw him perform live, never became a member of the official Queen fan club.
What is it - for you - about The Man that has made him the legend he wanted to be?[/QUOTE]
My obession with Freddie started in 1998...I don't know why really, but then it was more about the music. Now it's more about Freddie personally. His talent, his confidence to get where he wanted to be, his strength to deal with the AIDS virus, his personality; shy, kind, generous, plus he's not bad to look at :)
This goes into another catagory, but I'm always thinking out how it would have been had I met him. I'm sure lots of people think this, but I would have been one of his best friends possibly and being a singer myself...who knows, we might have worked on some song together or something.
