I think mika can be the right choise, because he's voice is very special too, and they song,  has a Queen ifluence too...   And Mika's said idol is Freddie. Sok what do you think?  On the Cosmos Rocks tour, the set list is almost the same , like the Return Of the champions set list. It' seems to me, like there was the Greatest Hits tour :-) Roger+Brian and John + Mika...   Please, see some mika footage live on the youtube..... The feeling like a Queen concert from the '70s years. I heard a comment on a radio show, in my country. (Hungary) "Mika is the hidden son of Freddie Mercury. I think his voice is almost like Freddie's had." and he played Mika's song, it's called "Grace Kelly" Good bye and keep Queening. Virágom, virágom!

Have you seen Mika live though?  I did at Glastonbury in 2007 and I don't think he could pull it off - as a recording artist his voice is amazing but the live singing was much thinner with a lot of cracks/

Queen are all about big and spectacular, just having Brian and Roger would not be the full show and event that a Queen concert is, they;d end up going out with a whimper, rather then a bang.
