Im sure she can belt out a few rockers, what with all the pubs she has ventured to over the years. Then on top of all that she can do some great ballads that would be very reminicent of Queen back in the day.... Plus, Adam's not ungly, Susan is....so was freddie.... HAHAHAH and theres proof that no matter how you look, talent and charm and charisma will make you look GOOD!!!! God bless you Fred.... so all these pretty young dudes singing out there, your all plastic cow boys.... flash in the pans... a product of the year..... a nation of hair cuts... god help us all... |

mmm......After Paul Rogers kicked them off, I don't think Brian and Roger should hire another famous person....I believe they should host a reality show themselves and select an underdog... |

It was being shown on a big screen here in New York back in the 90's, sometime after Freddie's death and was a big success. It was part of a summer special event that showcased live performances by various artists. I'm just surprised it didn't reach #1 again, considering that the quality is far superior to the original release. |

Holly2003 I think your bias toward Paul is a little naive? Paul Rodgers was made by one song Alright Now, which I admit i like immensely, but he is a one trick pony his vocals are nothing special i can sing better than him and i am a legend in my own bathroom! hahahahaha Its not the name that makes you great its the quality control and Fred within Queen pushed the boundaries the furthest. No offence intended but millions of people and the top artists around the world cannot be wrong, the world doesnt start and end with America one great country, especially the state of California. |

Holly...and David.... Just what exactly are you suggesting with queen fans no fuck all about music? Is that a reflection on my comments about Paul Rodgers? If so, I must say, that is a little narrow minded and very judgmental considering your window of knowledge on my .... Knowledge of music is based on that one comment I made... and every other person here.. You have either taken my comment to heart and really like Paul Rogers, or you just having a really fucking bad day.. Band Forever and TheWorks really do sum it up in relation to your comments Holly, and with out being a smart ass, it has shown a flaw in your comment which may or may not reflect the knowledge you have. Rodgers previous bands are only a street light compared to Queen’s ray of light, Queen are like .. The sun compared to Rodgers fossils. There are only two songs I can think of when I tell people who P.R is… That’s by saying.. you know the song,,, all right now, cant get enough of your love…. …. Even then, they will acknowlge the song how ever there source for hearing it not going to trace it back to P.R… You ask the same thing of Queen, and well, you could hours of conversation. Totally forgot my point to all this, |

Ever heard of Jimmy Page, while we're at it? Paul Rodgers is one of very few to front three multi-platinum-selling bands. His take on the blues is one-of-a-kind. How many singers could have pulled off the end of Bohemian Rhapsody like he did on the last few tours? If Queen choose to work with someone for 5 years after having worked with Freddie Mercury for 20 and selling 200 million records, chances are they're gonna pick the right guy. It's not their fault that you don't understand what they saw in him. |

actually rodgers in not the only one to have fronted 3 multiplatinum bands. ronnie james dio also did that with rainbow, black sabbath and his own band dio |
| The Real Wizard 27.05.2009 11:30 |
I stand corrected. But he's still in the club, as he's one of the very few, so my point stands. :-) |

It's not that we don't understand what they saw in him, we simply disagree that he should have been picked. |

Britney?????? what on earth are we going on about this for... we shoulnt think about this... we should just consentrate on building a time machine to get queen back to the way it was before! |

Fair enough to disagree that Paul Rodgers was not the best choice for Brian and Roger to work with but it was never up to the fans. What I find annoying is that those people on this forum who don't like Paul Rodgers feel it necessary to discount his success and achievements. I'm not a huge fan of Paul Rodgers and I was really unsure of how he would do on Queen's catalogue but there's no denying the respect he has among his peers nor is there any way you can possibly refute the fact that his catalogue has sold extremely well. For my tastes I enjoyed the way he sang some of Queen's songs and not so much others. I liked some of 'The Cosmos Rocks' and didn't care for some of it. I look at his time with QPR the way I do much of Paul Rodgers work. I really liked some of it and I'm indifferent to the rest. However I enjoyed immensely the 2 shows I saw in Toronto and Detroit. If Brian and Roger chose to work with another singer whether it is Adam Lambert, Susan Boyle, another go with Paul Rodgers or someone else it's their choice. I wait to see if I like it. |

Of course it was never up to the fans, but this is still a discussion forum. We have as much right to criticise the decision to team up with Rodgers as we have to applaud the fact that Bo Rap was chosen as a single. That was also not up to the fans. Furthermore nobody are saying that it's not their choice; certainly I've never said that. But I do believe that it was a mistake to team up with Rodgers, irrespective of his success, or more to the point to use the name 'Queen.' Yes, it's their right to use the name, but IMO 'No-one But You' was a perfect way to bring the curtain down on 'Queen.' |

It's just when people use the "nobody can compare to Freddie" line to justify their dislike for Paul, they completely miss the point. But in this case I was attempting to refute someone's claim that Paul's legacy is reduced to a single song and a single trick to his vocal style. shemp wrote: Do you like the comsos rocks??? Much of it, yeah. There were some very strong tracks on there, like Some Things That Glitter and Surf's Up (which I see as a continuation of track 13 from Made In Heaven). They weren't re-inventing the wheel, and it shows. They treaded a bit of new ground, faithfully incorporating elements of each of their styles. They made the record they wanted to make, and overall it's very good. |
| SaskQueenFan 02.06.2009 10:20 |
Geez, Adam Lambert rumours and now Susan Boyle? Some people need to get a grip! IMO, the Cosmos Rocks taints Queen's legacy a little, as it is not as strong an album as it could have been. It seems a bit contrived and rushed, there is no flow to the record. I think Queen+PR could have done much better, and did so with Return of the Champions. Its time for Roger and Brian to let the band's and Freddie's legacy of great music live on. |
| Holly2003 02.06.2009 12:55 |

haha poor susan boyles has been completely forgotton in this thread i think paul rodgers is a great singer! He's got a really great voice. Me personally, I hated him with Queen. Although Brian and Roger could've chosen someone far worse! Think about THAT. I would have been front row at their concert, had they come to Australia, which they didnt :( Its my dream to actually see Brian perform, and with who, well I don't really mind. I think some people on here are being very rude about the opinions of others.. everyone is entitled to their own and some people on here take things a little too personally. Just enjoy the music and be grateful to have a website like this where we can communicate with fellow fans. I sure am! |

| cacatua 06.06.2009 21:37 |
All I can say is that it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I heard Adam Lambert let fly at the beginning of "We Are The Champions" at the American Idol finale and then the curtain went up and I saw "Queen" on the drums and Brian and Roger there! That hasn't happened since seeing Freddie with them. And Adam is a really nice guy to deal with, though the paparazzi are putting him to the test these days. |
