repost from just announced thread
 
 From what I've heard Paul doesn't sing lead on all songs, as Roger Taylor is no slouch on vocals. He and Brian were after all providing harmonies behind Freddie. While I doubt it's going to sellout, it will attract those people wanting to hear BR live, (which even when Freddie was around, they used a video for the parts of in concert) and to hear Queen's "biggest" hit "We Will Rock You", heard of course at fine sporting events everywhere. The thought of a crowd wanting to hear WWRY live, makes my skin crawl...
 
 I believe Paul handles the lead vocals on the early harder rockin' stuff
 
 And remember while Freddie was the front man, the rest of the band were the creative force.  Roger Taylor wrote and sang lead on some of the songs. Deacon was responsible for coming up with the bassline to "Another One Bites The Dust"...

And Brian May is no slouch on the Axe.  A harmonic genius in my opinion.
 
 But that beng said, the dude from the Scissor Sisters should be singing lead for Freddie.

Actually, thinking of the kind of fans that would go to a concert just to yell "woo" to "We Will Rock You," the choice of Bad Company's frontman starts to make sense, if that's the audience they're going for.

I heard Paul singing "We Are The Champions" on Comcast the other day.   HORRIBLE.   George Michael would have been a great choice.

I'd heard rumblings that it might've been Robbie Williams.  He could've pulled it off.

that strikes me as similar to judas priest hiring a halford impersonator...  :)  
 
 I'd go w/ George Michael.

I'm increasingly convinced that the "We Will Rock You" factor explains his choice.  To the overwhelming majority of the pooplic, that is *the* Queen song.
