Adam Lambert to Replace the Late Freddie Mercury in Queen

The Canadian fellow, Marc Martel, who is taking the helm of the Queen tribute bad - now THAT guy can sing like Freddie, and even looks like him too. I never thought I'd be inclined to like a tribute over the original, but there you have it. Why didn't Queen contact him?... Or maybe it'd just be too uncanny and weird to have someone so close in the actual band?

Sorry but as someone who grew up listening to Queen I believe Freddie Mercury can NEVER be replaced or filled in for. The whole "Gay" thing does not matter to me at all but Adam Lambert taking the helm of all people is quite beyond me. Yea so Freddie was gay but Adam Lambet is flamboyant and weird as a 3 headed cat. Just my opnion take it or leave it besides "Who Wants To Live Forever".

I'm a fan of Adam Lambert and Queen so keribels though there will only be one Freddie Mercury.

I thought Paul Rodgers did a fantastic job!...Freddie was extremely talented....It will be interested in hearing Adam Lambert....as is difficult to fill the old shoes of the great voice of Freddie Mercury

stupidest move since tyler perry hired the kardashian #$%$ he'll keep blaming his sexuality for his failures and making a career out of being a victim

I'll listen but it will be difficult to picture Queen without Freddie starting Bohemian Rhapsody without those iconic four piano note ,,,,,MaMMaaaaa, Just killed a man

...nobody in the Phillipines applied?????

I grew up listening to Freddie Mercury and Queen. I've seen the band several times and some would consider me a die-hard fan. However, Brian and Roger have gone to far trying to resurrect what cannot be resurrected. As intelligent and talented as the rest of the band members were, Freddie Mercury MAKES Queen what it is. Let it be already!!

There can be only one Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert is really a stretch. Thank God that he has no intention of replacing Freddie.

wouldn't he be technically be replacing Paul Rodgers?

why do posters keep saying He didn't win American Idol??? We all know that, the article doesn't say he did so what's up with all you people? I think he will be great as the frontman. He has an amazing vocal voice and he's flamboyant and the rest of the band will help "Be Freddy" should be a good concerts. I would buy tickets

There is NO replacing Freddie Mercury. While Paul Rodgers did a great job with Queen + Paul Rodgers, that's how they toured, these guys CANNOT go on tour as Queen alone. I'm sorry but I do NOT like Adam Lambert, if anyone can be 'too gay' its him. Freddie may have been flamboyant but he didn't shove the fact that he was gay down everyone's throat....Queen's music will never die. We hear it every day.....Led Zeppelin ended the band as a whole when John Bonham died, a great tribute to their drummer and friend...

I think he's a good fit as lead singer. Queen lives on!!!!! When are they going to tour and when do the tickets go on sale? I also think that Adam will benefit from the guidance of the original members and keep out of trouble.

Adam, while not quite the singer Freddie was, is a good choice. I'll allow it.

I have a hunch he'll end up the same way poor Freddie did. But wow, what a voice, Freddie I mean.

Uhhh...he didn't win American idol.

Adam is a rocker ,he deserves this break

oh yeah and Adam Lambert didn't win American Idol, he was the runner up.....

They call it cash, and it lubes all things.

Gotta keep the Queens in Queen I guess. Hehehe. I loved Freddie Mercury and Queen. I don't see Adam Lambert living up to it.
