Adam Lambert To Front Queen - Is He The Best Choice? American Idol contestant to perform with the band
By Robyn Lynch on 3 February 2012
With the news that Queen are to play Sonisphere Festival accompanied by American Idol contestant Adam Lambert replacing Freddie Mercury, we question who in music can even begin to take a walk in Freddie's shoes.
Adam Lambert himself has spoken of his role "There's no intention in my mind of replacing Mercury. That's impossible. The way I'm choosing to view it is that it's a great honour and one I'm in no way going to shirk."
Arguably the role of front-man of Queen should be given to somebody with more charisma, practise and experience of fronting such a huge band. We took a look at those who could possibly step up to the challenge.
You can vote for who you think would make a good replacement here.

Chris Brown Responds To Being Named GQ's Worst Dressed Man - Video Singer didn't take it well...
By Holly Frith on 3 February 2012
Chris Brown has responded to be named the Worst Dressed Man by GQ Magazine.
The singer topped the magazine's annual poll and didn't seem to pleased with the result.
The magazine said of Chris Brown's style: For someone who seems to have so much disposable income — he boasts on one track about spending ’15 grand on a phone’ and charged over $500 for meet-and-greets on his last tour - Brown seems utterly adverse to investing in tailoring, combining the worst excesses of XXL sizing with a penchant for deeply unflattering costumes.''
Responding to the poll, Brown posted a video: ''I look at my fashion a lot different, like some days I might feel like dressing like a skater...," Chris explained. "The clothes don't wear you, you wear the clothes. A lot of my fashion icons today are like Pharrell, he has a lot of incredible style and him being from Virginia, that's always one of those things that get the kids going excited. For me, I was excited as a kid, being able to see him influence the world with his fashion and him being from where I'm from. That was kinda dope. People wanna be the artist on TV, not saying they embody the artist, but they look up to the person that's their idols and role models."
