That was very good. If he's consistently that good I wouldn't mind a semi-reunion tour. They were my favourite band for ages.

I love watching the first video.

Reunion or not, those are excellent!

I wasn't convinced until I watched the Bohemian Rhapsody. They would need to work on his stage presence for a tour, but that's the easy thing to fix.

He does come really close, but like NSMike said, he would really need to work on his stage presence. I also would like to see if he's got the same creative spark Freddie had. If he does, I love to see what him and Brian May (if he's willing) can come up with.

Whoa, I had chills too. I like his voice a lot, it doesn't sound like he's trying to imitate, but he hits every note and has feeling behind it. If there were a tour, he'd get my vote. I'd love to hear more. I'm a huge Queen fan, and never thought anyone would get this close to being able to stand in for Freddie. He's a damn good looking man to top it all off. Looks a lot like Freddie too. I think his stage presence would progress naturally if he were to actually tour with the band. He showed more personality in the first video when it was just him, he was more reserved when he was playing with the huge group of obviously incredibly talented singers and musicians. They did a great job on the song too.

edit: I searched around for more info, but couldn't find any more videos. He was auditioning for a spot in a Queen tribute band. They will tour in early 2012 and it's being put together by Roger Taylor. He does say that he's putting on the Freddie Murcury in that video, but that he's always been told he sounds like him.

Interview here.

And here's the project.

I guess that's the big question surrounding tribute bands. Are they creating anything new? Not really. Are they doing anyone justice? Maybe, if they're good at it. Are they really playing tribute or just cashing in? The jaded me says cashing in, the more naiive me says they're having a great time singing these awesome songs and turning new people on to the music. I'm simple, I think it's fun to see someone who can pull it off, but I concede that it may not be the greatest honor to the original artist. Although, it's always been said imitation is the highest form of flattery. I don't know if Freddie would feel honored or not.

He is actually a Dove award winning artist with the band Downhere.

Yeah, they are very different. Here's their latest song's video:

Yes

He's singing along with the music. Freddy sang and the music played beside him, and thats saying alot seeing as Brian May was playing right next to him. He could open his diaphragm and make an ungodly connection from it straight into a mic to the point where you thought he wasn't even using amplification. He is basically a tenor opera singer and blessed us all adding his voice to rock and roll. The guy is good but i don't think hes close to Freddy, not that no one can get there but his volume, anunciation, and emotional connection made for one of the best singers rock has ever had if not the best.

No kudos from me until I hear, Gimme The Prize!

We saw Queen with Paul Rogers in 2006 in DC. It was a good show, but felt like they'd tried to hard to cram him into the role. Good show, but just made me sorry I'd missed them the first time around.

No one is going to ever replace the self-destructive genius of Mercury, but Queen is too good of a band not to try.

Legends.

He's amazing. I would be all over a Queen reunion.

Under Pressure is one of my all time favorite songs. It's practically the theme song of the last year of my life! I listen to it a lot, and always sing at the top of my lungs. But, I had never seen that video, thanks for sharing it. I was in tears by the end of the song. Maybe I should watch it again.
