Would Mika be a good Freddie Mercury replacement on Queen?

[Gallagher Rose]

This guy can sing like Freddie most of the time..he sounds gay and his songs are gay,but he can do a good job.Do you think he would sound ok singing some Queen songs?

[moreblack]

I think he'd be good, but he wouldn't be my first choice.

And besides, the guy they got right now is great.

[Moop]

I guess so. But I like what Mika's doing right now instead. I see nothing wrong with Paul Rogers in the band,

[Spoon87]

Please, no.

Sure, he sometimes sounds like Freddie but he's far from being the next real thing imo.

[Shuffle]

He probably could pull it of if you're focusing on just the voice, at least as good as anyone can... But I don't think he would be a good as a member of Queen...

[RJ88]

NO

absolutly no one can replace Freddie

[Streetchild]

No, nobody can replace Freddie. I like how Paul doesn't try to sound like Freddie, but sings the songs in his own way. And he does a great job with them. I wouldn't want someone who is tryin to imitate Freddie.

[The Sandman]

Paul Rodgers is doing fine, why change it?

Plus, Mika doesn't sound the best live.

[ssiscool]

uh, NO.

[AndroidOfNotreDame]

Are we talking about the same Mika?

Everytime I hear or see him I want to hit him in the face.

[Powerage5]

There's no one I'd rather have sing for Queen now than Paul Rodgers. Unless Brian May sang full time.

[aidlook]

maybe some of the falsetto parts...but his voice is nowhere near as strong as freddie's was.
