On his solo album: back to the light Brian thanks a couple of people. My special thanks also: for persistent friendship: Paul Rodgers! that's cool! |

Well, I think that right there proves that PR was Freddie's favorite singer. |
| Lester Burnham 15.08.2006 13:31 |
I'm convinced. |
| radio_what's_new 15.08.2006 13:37 |
It doesn't proves anything as we all know. I was listening to the record and reading the notes, and it was just a thing I never noticed before.... As we all know good old Aretha was Freddies all time favorite singer. |

Roger and Brian wouldn't lie to us. Paul was Freddie's inspiration, for sure. |
| JeroenG 15.08.2006 13:54 |
Didn't brian always thank the whole world in his albums? |

Err....I really dont care. |
| Pim Derks 15.08.2006 19:34 |
I think Diana Ross was Freddie's favourite singer. |

Pim Derks wrote: I think Diana Ross was Freddie's favourite singer.Then you are not thinking good enough...It's a simple fact that Freddies favourite singer was Aretha. In fact he said this on more than one occassion. Freddie also said that he would love Aretha to cover (his favourite song of himself): Somebody to love. |
| theCro 15.08.2006 21:11 |
did Freddie ANYWHERE ANYTIME mentioned paul rodgers in any waY? |
| Sebastian 15.08.2006 21:37 |
During Queen For An Hour he said that his favourite singers (in rock music) were George Michael and Robert Plant. At the Circus tapes he said Robert Plant (that's 1977 I think). But of course Freddie mentioned Paul Rodgers: check out his diaries! |

I always thought Freddie's favourite singer was H from Steps? Have I been misled? Or is it just that Brian and Roger and touring with him and they want people to buy into it? |

If Brian and Roger was touring with Paris Hilton, they'd say Freddie "Always thought young Paris had potential". |

PR had played with Brian at the Seville guitar legends show in Oct 91, as had other people also thanked on BTTL. Just trying to be rational, please feel free to continue |

Come on peeps, Paul has not had plastic sugery or a wig! He looks the same except older and more tanned. He has always had the almond eyes. As far as Paul being Freddie's favourite singer, lol Aretha was! In interviews he has mentioned Aretha as his all time, then Liza, and i think PR was mentioned as being liked but not his favourite. |
| Oberon 19.08.2006 16:54 |
well, paul definitely lost a lot of weight somewhere in the 90s, and i wouldn't be surprised if that would require a nip and tuck to finish the look he has now. as for aretha vs paul, i think aretha is probably freddie's fav singer, but I'm sure he must have had some respect to paul which he'd expressed at some point. It's not surprising if roger and brian might stretch this a little to big up their new partner. After all, the shows have been very Queen heavy, and paul's taken a lot of heat over stepping into fred's shoes. I don't blame B+R for bigging him up a bit |
