Many of our readers know that we love Queen and Freddie Mercury. He was a rock icon who left an indelible mark on rock history. Sometimes bands with a vacant spot for a lead singer, because of death or they just hate each other, come back with a new singer to marginal success. Van Halen did it with Sammy Hagar after they parted ways with David Lee Roth, but they didn’t capture lightning in a bottle the third time around when they replaced Hagar with Gary Cherone of Extreme.

Then came Youtube and Arnel Pineda. When this once homeless and impoverished singer from the Philippines uploaded his Journey covers online and caught the eye of the actual band, Journey, it was appearances on Ellen and sold out stadium concerts all over again!

Yesterday, Youtube and Queen’s Roger Taylor launched online auditions for The Queen Extravaganza, which according to the website ” is a live touring show celebrating and paying tribute to the songs, style and vision of one of the World’s biggest bands, Queen.” Already, there are already bunch of videos, mostly bad renditions of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “A Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

Then, I saw this guy: Holy crap…. And he even looks like a young Freddie! Uh, can I say, he’s got it in the bag?
