I too don't know about Paul Rodgers. His early stuff and Bad Company I liked but with Jimmy Page in The Firm, I thought he was really flat, (not theoretically) and I think that really hindered Jimmy from taking off to the next step after Zep.
I just can't see Rodgers doing "You Take My Breath Away", or "Bicycle Races." If I had to pick one singer, and as gay as it sounds (no reference but,...) I would prefer George Michaels. At the very least, Gary Cherone. Theatrics like Mercury's sold Queen, the last two could pull it off. Paul Rodgers? We'll see.
