IMHO Paul has been doing a great job of fronting the band for Brian and Roger. After seeing 4 of the UK shows I can really appreciate how good Paul's voice really is. We all miss Freddie...obviously, but we can't bring him back. The thing to do is accept that Brian and Roger are musicians who want to keep creating music and they need a singer. This is a new band, not Queen. Instead of comparing everything Paul does to what Freddie would have done, why not listen to it "as is" and judge it based on its own merits, not on how you'd compare it to music with Freddie?
Couldn't agree more. Mika would have been an excellent choice for Brian and Roger. Paul Rodgers has a beautiful voice and I appreciated him very much on Return Of The Champions, but I think Q+PR should have stopped there. A full-length studio album should have been recorded with someone who could have offered a little more queen to the Queen sound (ie, George Michael or Mika).
George Michel or Mika???? WTF??? Is there anybody who can even imagine ( even imagine in dreams) those guys singing songs like Tie your mother Down or I want it all or Hammer to Fall or so on....I just can't understan that...they sing very nice, very POP...and that just sucks!! Let's stop the lie of G. Michael and Mika....
Personally I like Mika, but I think he works well in his "solo" way: he has his "world" to tell and making him part of a band (if it would be a real band...) might limit him.
Plus, Mika has a good strong voice, but he often (90% of the performances) use to sing in falsetto and this turns ev'ry piece really boring after a while.
The good of Mika is his creativity and what he reached to put on tour, really immaginative.
BUT PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR MIKA TO JOIN BRIAN AND ROGER.........

2 weeks left and counting....
Agree! No Mika and never George M.! Would you like the band to become POP? Absolutely Poppish? Besides Mika is a little boy, as compared to the veterans of rock. He is no match and he doesn't fit! I have nothing against him, but how would the guys look with such a frontman? Age framework should be observed somehow. And so much for all those georgemichaels.
