Songs that Paul Rodgers Can't Sing

Let's start with ....

Seaside Rendezvous.

Q+PR is a great rock show and Paul is a powerful rock singer while Freddie was much more theatrical. Go back and listen to your albums and name the songs that Paul Rodgers simply could not pull off. Think about tone, range, and emotion.

They wouldn't play that at a show even if Freddie was still with them. I don't think I've ever seen a setlist with that one included at all.

There were certain songs (such as Seaside Rendezvous) that Freddie could probably knock out without a hitch, but that would have been it for the night. Songs where he had to go so high probably took a toll on his voice, and for him to do a 2 hr show that wouldn't have been possible.

You take my breath away
Melancholy Blues
Cool Cat
pain is so close to pleasure
Scandal
Bijou
Don't try so hard
All gods people
It's a hard life

Quite a lot, actually... Paul is indeed just suitable for the rockier Queen Songs...

I agree with u guys there's alot of Queen songs that paul would not be able to sing. I would have prefered to see Gary Cherone front the band as he can sing the hard rock songs aswell as softer ballad type songs, plus he has a strong stage presence, example (Freddie tribute Concert)

i just can't believe they never asked him to do it, or even George Michael would have been great to see aswell, if they tour Australia i'll still go because i love Queen.

Yeah gary Cherone has a nice stage presance. too bad he's not always in tune.

Gary Cherone? After his flame-out with Van Halen, that would have been a sheer disaster...

Have you not heard ANYTHING that Q+PR has recorded for the show? I find it very difficult to believe that they could have chosen a BETTER singer. Paul is as perfect of a fit as can be.

The Millionaire Waltz
Mustapha
My Melancholy Blues

and pretty much of Queen 2

Any queen song ;)

Well, I personally feel he should leave BoRhap well alone, because he is not Freddie. But I am not keen on his H2F or Ga Ga, I also don't think he could sing KQ or DOTL.

ide start with all of them

My Fairy King
Liar
Doing All Right
Heaven for Everyone
The Night Comes Down
Father to Son
White Queen
Ogre Battle
Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke
Nevermore
The March of the Black Queen
Funny How Love Is
See What a Fool I've Been
A Winter's Tale
It's a Beautiful Day
Mother Love
I Was Born to Love You
One Year of Love
Pain is so Close to Pleasure
Who Wants to Live Forever
Love of My Life
Killer Queen
Lily of the Valley
In the Lap of the Gods (both versions)
Dear Friends
Bohemian Rhapsody
....

I could go on forever.

A kind of magic
I want to break free
The show must go on

Very True.
