He's got the look for sure, but can he sing?

That should be good. I miss Freddie!

I didn't like Borat and I didn't like Freddie Mercury...couldn't think of a movie I would care to see less. Perhaps a better questions is can he suck? I say, "Yes!" - and this film will be a Suckfest. El stinko!

I wonder how much this came out of AGT? It is the last time I remember Freddie Mercury being mentioned. Or was it a well placed publicity stunt to get Piers to say it and it be replayed a bunch of times?

I had to look up who Freddie Mercury was when I heard the original statement. I had heard of Queen and their songs but not Freddie Mercury.

Cohen sang decently in Sweeney Todd. I enjoy queen and Freddie had talent so I will rent this when it comes out.
