What do U think of that performer.. Such a crap I think.. theres too many guys out there who are dishonoring Freddie and queen.. and now even Brian..
Also, In sweden there's this cover band Queer.. which is the all time lowest act..
Those people think they can come close to the autenthic performances.. and make their living out of those macaber shows..
Wow... That's sad... Why not try to be original? Covering is one thing, But isn't this pushing identity theft?! "I AM the real Freddie Mercuree! I SWEAR!!!" Suuure... Whatever you say sparky. ;)
Those sad low life loosers.. feels that since they are complete nobody's on their own.. they can achieve or at least share something greater by hijacking someone elses personality and stardom.. by throwing those pathetic shows and being in the middle of that magic of queen.. false prophets I say.. poor feeble people who have lost their sence of identity..
One example is this Freddie van ter beek.. fortunately he only throws his shows in Queen fanclub anniversary parties.. instead of whoring himself in public stages pretending to be the greatest pretender..
I haven't seen any of the impersonators, but I don't mind the concept of them. I used to think of impersonating and tribute bands as a pathetic activity -- why not have your own band and be original? But then I went to Memphis and saw the Elvis impersonators and loved them. The feel of the show really was about how they all loved Elvis and wanted to revisit that -- it wasn't ghoulish or greedy. The audience had a good time singing along and cheering. Maybe it was more like elaborated karaoke. I haven't seen any of the Queen impersonators, but if they are goodnatured like that, why object? Of course, they could be greedy and morbid. Has anyone seen them?

p.s. There was a time I wouldn't have classed Freddie Mercury with Elvis, but it seems like the longer he's gone the more important he seems.
