"Genetic make-up"? Freddie Mercury had black hair; Adam has strawberry blonde. Freddie was slight in stature; Adam had an admitted weight problem. Freddie Mercury and Adam have strong voices......I guess that might be a genetic similarity, but not nearly as prominent as stature and features, so I guess I don't understand the description? Plus, your "Yuck, I'm glad he lost" seems to make it sound like you have something against the "genetic make up" of both men? I don't understand, at least I sure HOPE I don't understand!
Freddie Mercury had a truly amazing voice and performance ability. He was very theatrical! I think Adam would be a wonderful choice to front the next generation of Queen and I think that Freddie would have blessed that decision. He would have really liked Adam, I think. No singer could ever REPLACE Freddie, but that doesn't mean that the band couldn't come out with their brand of music with a new singer and have success. I'd love to hear what they would create together.
