ok...is anybody thinking that Queen might do a song with Katy Perry at the iheart festival...
She's a huge Queen fan, adores Freddie, named her perfume Killer Queen and performed Don't Stop Me Now at an iheart event in 2009...
Personally I think they might as well (I'd rather see them perform with a rocker but it just seems to make great sense)
it is also a ridiculous idea to do a show with adam lambert. they don't need a new so called singer every time they do a show. brian and roger can do a nice concert with just the two of them. backed by spike edney, danny miranda and jamie moses. singing songs from their own solo catologue. but they have to stop using different singers every time. you would almost forget who was their real singer.
I really would rather not they ever perform with Katy Perry. She is a terrible singer live, in that she just cannot hold solid pitch. Even her renditions of "Don't Stop Me Now" consistently get way more thumbs down than up on YouTube!
Brian hopes that they get asked by ANY artist to collaborate - its the only way he believes that the band's name can have any relevance. Hence you get these ridiculous combinations where some rubbish junior gets to stroke the ego of an ageing rockstar and make them feel wanted.
I'd lick her boots but keep her the fuck away from Queen music.
I said it best on a Youtube video of her covering Don't Stop Me Now. "Please stop this now". Even her fucking fans were agreeing with me.

Really? There's someone who doesn't know that Freddie Mercury sang on every Queen hit?
This is a high profile gig with a bunch of pop singers. With regards to exposure, collaborating with Lambert is a very smart move. Regardless of what a bunch of people in a 70s and 80s time warp think, Lambert is a very capable singer.
This and the olympic closing ceremonies demonstrate that Brian and Roger know how to keep themselves in public consciousness.
Honestly, in my personal opinion, there are two singers can do it.
One, George Michael (but I couldn't imagine him singing the hard rock songs), second, Pat Briggs from Psychotica(but is very underrated and unknown singer).
But, at least, Queen died in 199, an Queen+ to me is a joke. Specially with Adam Lambert. Is funny how Brian always said he wanted more hard rock in the 80's queen stuff, and now he collaborates with every single pop garbage star in the planet.
Psychotica is an electro glam rock band from the 90's. Marilyn Manson copied a lot of things from them. Their guitarrist, Paul Kostabi, is the brother of Mark Kostabi (Use your illusions "covers" of Guns n' roses, and Adios amigos cover of Ramones) link
The only official video, directed by the missed Ted Demme link
The singer covered live Heroes. link link
A song called Barcelona, with Bowie savoir affaire. link
This is an incomplete song, with some Queen influences. link

Funny that, I thought their performance cringeworthy. Each to their own I guess.
I hope Paul McCartney joins them in one song.This would be my dream team. Paul playing bass and singing a queen song and a beatles song. One can dream!
As Kate Perry's version of "Don't stop me now" i don't have a problem with it, because i absolutely love the energy of the performance, and she is HOT! She would look good with Queen, and i'm shure Roger would agree with me on this :-)
Adam Lambert is a great singer too. He has a great voice, and i'm glad that he agreed to sing with Queen again.
I'm really looking forward to the performances of Queen today and Paul McCartney tomorrow.
McCartney would be great. .... THEN we can FINALLY hear the Queen" version of SOUVENIR
Also up above. .... zebonka you misspelled *Boobs.
I hear ya.
I'm sorry. I'm just a stickler for AT LEAST proper spelling. (No italics on the qz as far as I know)
I hope it's not an embarrassment. CAN'T be. ... just can't be.
Jitters and I'm not even playing.
