Could Adam Lambert Become Queen's New Front Man?

This is what I was thinking when I saw the finale. I'd be a great fit.

"If you thought Adam Lambert looked like a natural fit with iconic rockers Queen during American Idol's finale, you weren't the only one.

Hours after it was announced that Lambert was Season 8's runner-up last week, widespread speculation began circulating that the 26-year-old singer had been offered a job as Queen's new front man. While that's not true yet, guitarist Brian May isn't ruling out the possibility."

I initially thought it would be a great idea (I think I even suggested it in the AI thread after the finale), but now I'm not so sure. Queen is pretty second-tier without Freddie Mercury (as evidenced by the Paul Rodgers backfire), and I feel like Adam should do something independently, or even start his own band, Daughtry-style. Or maybe I'm just so blindly devoted to the Mercury legacy that anyone else fronting the band annoys me.

I don't know, I just feel like Adam is hip and fresh, and at this point, Queen is kind of a dinosaur act (and I'm a huge fan of theirs). They need to get George Michael or go home. But I'm pretty sure I'll be outvoted on this one.

I thought the same thing. We Are the Champions was the best part of the finale.

Apparently they have approached him. But I've also heard he's been signed.

I think he needs to put out his own album with his own band.
