I'm sure of it.

Freddie's Imagine was different, and John Lennon's Imagine is the original genuine Imagine, which can be sung perfectly and movingly only by John Lennon. Whereas Freddie's songs are best sung only by Freddie. There isn't a single song which was better performed by another singer. Do you agree with me?

The stage lighting and background visuals are a trillion percent more impressive than Return Of The Champions (I saw ROTC live in St. Paul.) I think the crowds during this most ambitious tour are going to have a great time. I don't think I have ever heard anyone else sing Paul Rodgers' past songs. When he is singing his own songs, he is the absolute best with that low voice singing those bouncy tunes! How do you think Freddie would have sounded doing PR's songs? I can't imagine it. It's an odd thing, but it seems that whatever artist comes out first with a song, no one singing it later sounds as good. Why is that?

I've not heard Freddie singing imagine,but i find it dificult to "imagine" anyone outdoing Lennon in that one and Freddies Jailhouse Rock was NOT better than Elvis. We all love Freddie on here but lets not let bias take all objectivity from our judgement of the performace of various songs. To say Freddie did a better Jailhouse rock than Elvis is in my opinion similar to saying McFly did a better Don't stop me now than Queen. This is the sort of thing that you would here from a tiny bopper McFly fan, surely Queen fans have more class and respect for other legendary artists than that.

No, I do not agree with you. You're telling me that Whitney Houston's "I wil always love you" is inferior to the original Dolly Parton version? Sorry but Freddie could have sung the entire Beatles Catelogue and do a better version of all the songs. All. the. Songs. Neither Paul McCartney or John Lennon should be mentioned in the same breath with Freddie Mercury as both Vocalists and Composers. You're going to tell me that "Imagine" is superior artisitcally and technically than "Bohemian Rhapsody"? Yeah right. Beatles Songs mostly were simple, and boring.

THE BEATLES ARE GREATER THAN QUEEN, FACT

John Lennon's "Imagine" is very overrated. I don't get the entire "Beatles" Mystique. They simply weren't that good. They are like Madonna. She's marginally talented, can't really sing, but boy, a lot of people like her. The Beatles are the same way. Paul McCartney can't sing. Neither can John Lennon. Yet many people (mostly Britons) think they are Gods. They're not. This is going to upset a lot of people, but Queen is vastly superior to the Beatles in every way. Singing? Queen rules. Composing? Queen rules. Live performance? Queen rules. Sorry, I don't understand all the hoopla about the Beatles. Freddie Mercury's "Jailhouse Rock" in the Montreal 81 was masterful. You have to be a musical noob to not understand that Freddie's version was way better than Elvis Presley.

I'm sure its on you tube from the FM Tribute concert. I remember there was speculation in the press about Queen going out on the road with Georgr fronting themquite a few years ago, long before the Paul Rodgers project. I reckon George would do a good job with a lot of the back catalogue but not some o the heavier numbers. I couldn't imagine hime singing tie your mother down or one vision foe example. He also did a decent 39 if memory serves and days of our lives. Put I'm happier with Paul Rodgers, he's less of a household name if you know what I mean and his fame doesn't overshadow Brian and Rogers as George Michaels may have

Sure, I did like them in 2nd grade (used to listen to some of their greatest hits on one of my sister's cds) but I didn't think much of them. I think they are overhyped because they were overhyped during part of the 60s that was the musical revolution era. To me, lots of their songs sound similar or don't really appeal to me. I really don't see anything special about their music. I respect the fact that they have contributed (well I don't think they contributed much..) to the revolution, but I don't really see anything in them... Disagree with me all you want. I won't change my opinion (I hate the fact that people try to make you think like them!). I personally prefer Queen because to me they seem more diverse and I just personally like the way they sound. But, I wish Creedence Clearwater Revival were as famous as The Beatles in the 60s. There was a time they were really famous in Europe and the U.S. but it didn't last. They have so many gems!!!! True classics, not boring at all! Eh, oh well, not many people recognize them. All in all: Treasure Moment is the BEST BAND EVER. FACT.

CreedenceCC was a good band. but not so diverse and innovative as the Beatles. If one listens to them for more than 20 minutes one gets bored, so I can't agree with you that they are not boring. The same melodies, the same rythm and so on...Listen to them now, you'll be enchanted for some 20 min. then you will turn them off.
