What do you guys think about Paul's Sheryl Crow comment. I don't think that he put much thought into that comment. Though on the same subject, I think that they should have gotten together with George Michael after the Concert for Life. But that was during his Listen without Predgedus(sp) period and he was in a world of his own. On a side note, we all know how picky the guys are about their music and releasing stuff that they feel isn't good quality ro good for the band, but they signed off on that George Michael and Queen disk (with Lisa Stansfield), thus in my mind they dug what they did with George but the feeling wasn't mutual.

I think the Sheryl Crow comment is misunderstood. Paul wasn't talking about who could follow him up as front-man (or -woman, as it may be) for Queen, but rather who could sing his material when he is "gone", hence the "I plan on sticking around for a while" remark.
Christina Aguilera should be next. She has a very good range and depth of voice. I think she could keep up with Freddie. I mean, she is the only one who can pull enough octaves out of her to sing like Freddie. Her personality is similar to Freddie's also, so she could work the crowd as well.

no.............hes shit.

They should sing the bloody tracks themselves. Both Brian and Roger have got a range almost as large as Freddie's, and they wouldn't have to do many difficult numbers since most of them have been now dropped from their setlist. Nowadays, as far as I know, May's tracks outnumber Freddie's, and I've always thought Brian can sing his own compositions even better than Freddie. And he used to be really good in the rock part of Bo Rhap, I'd say Roger'd be even better.

That's what I've been saying... :)

I wouldn't mind being their vocalist...
His comment is not about someone replacing his role as a singer for Queen concerts. It's about his music. Someone to sing his music when he is too old. This is not about Queen's music at all.
Hmmm. Let's see. They could go fishing in a market of incompetent singers who are not as familiar with the catalogue OR-
They could just do it themselves. Brian May learnt how to sing high when he did his solo stuff, he's practically got Freddie's range now. Roger always had a higher voice.
If they don't sing on any upcoming project I'll be sorely disappointed. Brian's voice is unfortunately a little weak in that spot between middle and very high, but he's still a good singer who does what he can. Roger, incredible voice when he uses it. I still don't know why they never went on tour just with those two as vocalists.

It would be fine 10 years ago... Maybe 6... But they are not getting younger and... Roger's voice is still all right (IILWMC was a highlight of the tour), but Brian... And they aren't getting younger either...
I've hear Brian doing IWIA few times on the last tour. They NEED a singer.
And they have one. Sheryl Crow comment was obviously misunderstood...

I think Paul should stay right where he is. Do your little solo shows, and then come back to Queen.

Ok, I've long suspected this but I finally have the proof. You are a *retard*.
Do you know anything about music at all? Ok, I don't know a lot of the theory, but I've got perfect pitch. I can pick the pitch of someone's *fart* if it goes long enough.
I can surely say to you, here, right now, that with the exception of Hitman or Was it All Worth It, Brian covered the range of just about any Queen song when he did stuff like Resurrection.
I am not debating that he's a better singer, I am not debating whether it sounded any good. I am *purely* talking about the notes he hit. D's and stuff. Very high ones.
You have to be on *crack* to discount what I said, dude. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of how fast his vocal cords were smacking together and you cannot argue with this because it's *RECORDED EVIDENCE*.
Did you ever see that South Park episode where they nominated John Edward for the Biggest Douche of the Universe Award?
I THINK I FOUND A NEW WINNER.
PS. Roger too, could equal Freddie's range, in his hey-day at least.
