Jeff Scott Soto..man of a thousand voices..except when he tries to sing like Steve Perry. Believe me..I saw him at Newcastle City Hall on that Journey tour!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
yeah I tend to agree, just a massive range. Jeff is a very good singer, but he's at a 'Gary Cherone' level. Good enough, but not outstanding the way Queen songs deserve on a proper tour..
@halldors1978 I saw paul with queen and that was totally amazing but seeing brian roger and jeff would be awesome! jeff does loads of queen covers so well! even ogre battle and everything! id give anything to see queen play that one with soto! :D
@MsMercury They wouldn't use Jeff after he done the Journey thing. Shame as he is better than Paul but he shot himself in the foot doing Journey, Then they fired him. Ironic.
@rmtdrums Well I was refering to something Jeff told me way before the Journey gig. Why wouldn't they use him after he did the Journey gig? What would that have to do with it? Journey was stupid for firing him. They essentially wanted a Steve Perry soundalike.
@MsMercury They were worried about Jeff being a cast off. Basically saying, if he's not good enough for Journey then he's no way going to stand up to the scrutiny of singing for Queen. Which I think is a shame. There's lots that goes on between record companies and agents that have an effect on Queens legacy and record sales. Hence the Adam Lambert rumour. Quenn + Paul R on the other hand was like a legend + legend = Record sales & revenue. That's the music business.
@MsMercury When will you people get through your thick skulls. THEY WEREN'T LOOKING FOR A FREDDIE REPLACEMENT! They didn't want someone who sounded exactly the same! They grabbed Paul because he was a famous blues singer who could put a new spin on the old songs! How insulting is it to try to REPLACE Fred
@MsMercury Well aren't you intolerable. There's a thing called an opinion, its not taken as fact. And no, I would rather hear Paul putting a new spin on Queen tunes, than some hair metal singer trying and failing to be as good as Freddie
@SigandGibbs He's not trying to be anything but himself and he is an amazing singer with great respect for Freddie. Brian told Jeff personally that he wanted Jeff but apparantly it wasn't up to Brian I guess.
@MsMercury I hear people claim that about their favorite artist on almost every video. "Actually they wanted him to tour with Queen but he turned them down" or "they picked him, but it wasn't their decision". It always turns up to just be something fans came up with.
@MsMercury I think Jeff would have been the perfect choice for the "reformed" Queen but I think they chose Paul Rodgers simply because he's commercially a bigger name. It's a shame because Jeff would have been so much better.
RODGERS IS A PIRAT, HE IS BRITISH, THAT IS WHY, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT SOTO IS AND HAS A GREATER BACKGROUND WITH BANDS.
SOTO CAN SING ANYTHING

@rmtdrums You're right. It is a shame. I've seen Jeff perform Queen songs and he does them justice. Definitely more so than Paul Rogers.
