No.
When Glamberace sang with Queen during the American Idol finale, a storm of sequins filled my living room and I actually enjoyed it (blame the good shit). It wasn't hard for me to embrace it, because I figured it was just a one night stand. They all licked each other's nalgas, everyone came glitter and then they skipped off back to their lives. Or did they?
Brian May is now telling Rolling Stone that Queen and Glamberace might rendezvous again..... I think that's our cue to go out to the desert and stick our heads in the sand so we don't have to witness this epic fuckery.
Brian said, “Amongst all that furor, there wasn’t really a quiet moment to talk. But [drummer Roger Taylor] and I are definitely hoping to have a meaningful conversation with him at some point. It’s not like we, as Queen, would rush into coalescing with another singer just like that. It isn’t that easy. But I’d certainly like to work with Adam. That is one amazing instrument he has there.”
Didn't they learn anything from the whole Paul Rodgers thing?! I'd rather Queen just stick a cardboard cutout of Freddie Mercury on stage than bring Glamberace into the band full-time. There's only one true QUEEN in QUEEN and that is that glorious unicorn known as Freddie Mercury!

My mom is addicted to American Idol. I limited what I read/saw to what was put on this blog.
She said, "He sounds better than the other guy who died from Queen". I was ready to yell at her. Better? I highly doubt she has actually HEARD the music of Queen until she watched AI. I would have expected such a comment from a teenager, but this is my mother!
I can see Queen dying just like INXS if they go down the same route.
I have to say that halfway into a paragraph, I found myself w/ wandering thoughts. As much as I luv your word choice for most things - I find anything Idolish boring.

I disagree. They should quietly step back. Freddie was the face and voice of Queen.
With his passing it was the end. Simple as that.

FREDDY MERCURY WAS CLASSICALLY TRAINED IN OPERA AND SO WAS STEVE PERRY. THEY BOTH WERE TENORS AND HAD OUTSTANDING QUALITY VOICES. THEY ARE THE ONLY FUCKING TWO I KNOW OF WHO WERE CLASSICALLY TRAINED. MEATLOAF MAY HAVE BEEN.

exact-a mondo. couldn't agree more.
the voice, the presense, the clothing style, it was all freddie, he was the one.
as talented as the other memebers of the group are, and hell yes, brian may's a genius, they're still just back up for the lead.

Remember when I Mother Earth got a new singer? No one knew who the hell they were anymore.

If the singer of a bad dies/quits/gets booted, they should have to change the name of the band if they get a new singer. A band is 99% recognizable by the voice of the lead singer; without them, it might as well be a completely different group.

I agree also. Queen is a memory, nothing more.
do these fuckers need money, or what? jesus, they were multi-millionaires by 1975.

i thought that robbie williams would have sucked anyones dick for that job a few years ago. esp when he was doing the covers for a knights tale. i remember him saying he wanted to work with them more and go on tour with them. but nothing came of that...ithougth he sounded good with them imo....

Whoa, Brian only said he'd like to work with Adam. Did he indicate he would be replacing Freddie? Perhaps the band wants to put a bit more starpower into it...that's not a disservice to Freddie. No one's trying to replace him, nor could they. But for Queen to fade into the sunset without a decent lead singer? That...is a disservice to Freddie's memory.

How can Queen sink so deep as in taking on an AI contestant when they had Freddie?
Didn't they already appear on American Idol? Can you really sink any farther?
************
Yes, I know that. MK noted that too.
Have I written otherwise? I don't see it in my post...What's wrong with you turning so at me???

I read about this last week and thought it was awesome. I loved Freddie (I was actually around to see him live in the 70's) and I think Adam does no dissservice to his memory by replacing him. AI is not his pedigree, only what brought him to the public's eye. I think Freddie would have loved him."
Yeah I agree - American Idol is cheesy, but Adam is really talented. It's not like this was his idea - the surviving members of Queen are seeking him out. I think it would be a perfect fit for him.

i hate his scream but i always thought he could do well if he fronted a rock band but not THE rock band. and that concludes my reaction. if queen still were this glorious thing it once was my objection would have been more passionate bu meh..

Americans are addicted to BULLSHIT , self-righteous indignation & chronic masturbation.
IMO chronic masturbation relieves the anxiety associated with self-righteous indignation. You're on your own with the BS though.

A resounding NO. Freddie would rise up from the ashes like a phoenix and kick the shit out of this poser.
I just about had a heart attack when heard another rumour that Slash was thinking of hiring him as the front man for his band. Again: NO.
This reminds me of how INXS picked their new lead singer from a tv show.
Look how well that turned out.

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.
Nobody replaces Freddie. Especially this over-glitterized wannabe.

CTH,
Lick his boots or tend his grave.
One month from now peeps will be saying *who*? seriously just had to scroll up to even remember this dudes name.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't one of the big claims to fame for Queen that they were all classically trained musicians?
Do however, really like his nail polish. ;)
were the other members of Queen uber-druggies who pissed away their very last dime?
that would be the ONLY excuse for this fuckery.
Paul Rodgers lead singer of Bad Company is one of the great blue eyed soul singers of our time no doubt, but he was NOT the man to fill Freddie Mercury's shoes on a tour with Queen.. WTF were these bitches thinking? and now THIS?
Hell to the no! Someone needs to tell these str8 men just cuz Glamberace is gay doesnt mean he has the same sparkle as la Mercury
Ive come to the conclusion after listening to Roseanne, this whole AI crap is as fixed as our own US elections ,and that Americans are addicted to BULLSHIT , self-righteous indignation & chronic masturbation.

Them taking on Adam would dishonor the memory of Freddie Mercury. You cannot sucessfully replace what is unique and therefore unreplaceable.
But as long as there is money to be made I'm sure fuckery like this will continue till the end of time.

Freddie was short, and very shy, but nice.
Brain May was a big ham. LOL.
Brian's very tall, freddie was five seven, at best.
anywho, fuck this twinkie flavor of the month, he's not freddie and isn't good enough to lick his boots.

Have NEVER clicked, but can guess.
I finally heard this Glambert sing, and he is far and away no Freddie Mercury, so please stop with this future fuckery!
