I never got on with Paul Rodgers with Queen, even tho I think Paul Rodgers has one of the best voices in blues/rock ever (Free/Bad Company/solo stuff etc). This would just put the final nail in Queen's coffin for me :thumbsdown:

She may be a bit wacky but she is in fact an incredibly talented and versatile singer/musician/songwriter so it does'nt necessarily follow that it will be a disaster.

Sorry but Queen just aint Queen without Freddy Mercury.

Hmmm... not too sure on this.
You need a singer with the range and power that Freddie had to make the songs work.
Could work as it doesn't have to be a male singer.
At least she's flamboyant in the costume department!
Personal motto: You don't have to be mad to be a modeller, but I find it helps!

Yeah - but how will they do "I want to break free"?
A woman dressed as a man dressed as a woman - how's that going to work? :o

GAGA does not need QUEEN !!!!!

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote 'happy'.
They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

A couple of years ago, I saw a Queen tribute band at the Ashfield show. The Freddie look-a-like sounded like him too, absolutely brilliant. I then saw Queen on the box with that other bloke - total rubbish. Queen should check out some of the tribute bands for their lead singer.

You know what? I totally agree with this, I heard the duet she's done with Tony Bennet and it's fabulous. If you look past the outrageous way she dresses, she is an amazing singer, in much the same way as Amy Winehouse was.

But I do agree that Queen are not really Queen without Freddie. In fact the one singer I think could do Queens sings justice is, and it really pains me to say this, George Micheal :P

I would have thought Boy George would have made a better Queen member ;)
