i think that an opera singer can not be as good as freddie because of freddies voice is a mix of rock and opera.
queen=perfection

well for me his rating would be alot better if he would try to sing like freddie,(not the moving just singing) like what does he do on ''show mus go on?!'' but i'm still very glad that they atleast tour and if only with paul, thats ok for me. if i don't compare paul with freddie (otherwize he would get 1 or 2 out of 10) i will give him 7/10
You know, I watched a bit of American Idol last night - channel surfing, btw - and this young woman is
singing a Mariah Carey song. Well, I'm not a fan of Mariah's, but I like the song, so I listen. The girl did
an okay job. Well, the judges condemned her for choosing a song linked to such a superstar. They felt
there would automatically be comparisons made between her and the star and she would therefore lose
out. Sad but true.
People, as a rule, don't like change. They like what they like - what they're used to - and that's it. No
room for creativity, no room for adjustments. All or nothing.
I'm not big on Queen + Paul Rodgers because I'm a Freddie fan first. So, I won't be going to a Q + PR
concert, but neither will I turn off the radio if ever their version of songs are played, nor will I return
their CD if it's given to me.
Paul Rodgers has a great voice. He's no Freddie, but then he was never meant to be.

Don't believe it. BPP is never generous. Who is this imposter?
I don't know really how to rate him, I don't like to watch Queen+ Paul Rogers so I haven't seen that much of it
Paul gets a 10 from me for his voice and a 9 for Queen songs.
Remember he has gone out his way to sing songs that they thought the fans wanted to hear regardless of whether they suited him or not.
Regardless of whether you agree with him touring with Queen or not any body who thinks he cannot sing or has an average voice, dosn't know shit anout singing..

I think that Paul is one of the best choices Brian and Roger could have made for a number of reasons, to name a few:
1) He is of a similar age - not a young pretender.
2) His vocal range, although not as big a Freddie's, is above average - he can give suitable power to the high notes.
3) By Brian and Roger's own admission, Free were a major influence to Queen in the early days.
4) He is not a Freddie wannabe.
5) His voice suits Queen's rockier side, which is what comes through moreso live than in the studio.
When I first saw them perform together at the Hall of Fame in 2004, I thought he was the best "guest singer" they had had since Freddie's death.
Now I may get a severe bashing for saying this, but I think that some songs suit his voice better than they suited Freddie's. FBG is an example. Maybe because it's more his style anyway, I don't know, but I would love to hear a studio version with Paul on lead vocals.

Actually I like his voice very much. It obviously suits his songs more than some of the Queen catalog. Yet, I think his version of Fat Bottomed Girls rocks big time! the same with We Are the Champions' bluesier version.
About other songs, I think I Want to Break Free is a difficult song to sing, yet Paul pulls it off better than some of Freddie's performances, specially the ones in the The Works tour. I really enjoyed I Want it All, aswell.
I really like the fact that Queen are touring with him. No other collaboration of Brian and Roger has been this good. I think George Michael did very good at Freddie's Tribute but there's no way he would have pulled off the rockier tracks, which I tend to like the most from Queen's catalog.
I give Paul Rodgers a solid 10/10 singing his own songs with Queen, an 8.5 with a big part of the Queen songs, and a 9.5 with the songs I mentioned earlier.

Queen stuff...because I feel as many people do that he ruined it, and of course that his voice cannot compare to Freddie's (and nobody in rock, can really...you'd need an opera singer perhaps!) maybe a 6 or 7 at best.[/QUOTE]
Agreed
