Lady Gaga to front Queen?

[Prime]

As for the autotune thing she's had plenty of times singing very well without it! Just saying!

Lady Gaga on autotune doesn't bother me as much as Queen on autotune would.

They'd be sellouts at that point.

O.K., but if Lady Gaga doesn't "require" autotune why would she bring it to Queen. Autotune is an effect, not an aid, for some artist particularly in the dance pop realm. If Queen is not becoming a dance pop group with Lafy Gaga then why would autotune be involved when it's proven she can sing on her own.

Oh i'm not saying it'd be involved at all. I could just be pulling my assumption out of thin air. If Gaga fronts for Queen, autotune would more than likely be the last of their worries. I'm only making assumptions. Not basing my opinion on them. I still don't think it's a good idea for Gaga to front for them, but it's their choice, I have no say.

People always automatically jump the the autotune conclusion when it comes to any pop singer. Not all of them sound as horrid as Britney Spears, and I'm sure if the article is true and Brian May had considered Gaga for the position, she must not be all that bad. This is one of the most commercially successful rock bands ever people, I don't think they'd want to sacrifice their image with just any old bubblegum Miley Cyrus that comes along.

O.K. cool! I just know that you've listened from both perspectives and know about both artist. A lot of classic rock pure Queen fans only have perspective from one angle and hear the finished product by Lady Gaga. She doesn't have to use it and that's not opinion, it's out on youtube. Personally, I like both artist and obviously at this stage I like a lot more Queen songs than Gaga. I haven't even listened to all of the new Lady Gaga album. Neither artist is at the helm of my musical favorites. But I hate this idea of a glorified cover band anyway. You know what I respect from a classic artist of any genre. Continuous "new" music even if it fails to some and continued creativity. If your voice is going a little "ADJUST" and create like Johnny Cash. Stop trying to milk the same tunes forever. It makes you and your audience seem desperate to hold on to their past forever IMO.

I gotcha. Honestly, I wouldn't say I have anything against Gaga or Queen as separate artists. I don't listen to Queen often, but I know they deserve a lot of the attention they get. Gaga I think she's fine, but has a long way to go to still. Her music is catchy to me, but that's about it, really. I'm on the same boat as you when it comes to a glorified cover band. Though, if it's an artist that is doing one or two covers of another band's material, and does it well, I have no issue. My only beef with it is that this'll get a lot of attention from Queen and Gaga fans be it negative or positive, and it may just not turn out the way people want it to. As usual though, regardless of the opinion on it I have from the get go, i'll be open minded when and if material gets released. I'll listen to it, and i'll base my opinion on it.

My stance always as well!

I can see her doing one song on a Queen tribute album, but to actually front them, oh please no!

!!!!!!!

No ! the fact that this IS even being considered turns my stomach
Come on Brian , don't be so eager to play that you reduce to a wannabe with a minor bit of talent to front the brilliance of your talent?

the very fact that GaGa fans consider you 'an aging rocker' is proof enough for me.that her fans lack the maturity or grace that would befit your playing or Freddies' legend..find someone else PLEASE..

Without getting too into it, I'm gonna vote no....
