I disagree. I don't expect him to identically replicate Freddie Mercury's voice, because he's not Freddie Mercury. IMO he sounded great. If you want note-for-note duplication of Freddie Mercury, just listen to the original Queen recordings.

He doesn't have to sound identical to Freddie Mercury's voice to mesh well with the songs, though. The problem is, he DOESN'T mesh well with the songs.

(As a side example - George Michael didn't sound exactly like Freddie Mercury's voice singing "Somebody to Love" during the Tribute Concert, but he's still a good fit for the music. Some of the other people who sang during that show... really, really weren't. George Michael also doesn't sound like Elton John, but his voice arguably fits the music even better than Elton John's does when they sing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" together.)

Like it or not, certain singers shouldn't sing certain songs, and he's really not a good fit with Queen's music in general.
