I thought that hiring Paul Rodgers to sing Queen songs was a stupid idea
you simply CANNOT replace Freddie Mercury for that.
but if you have talented people who want to make music
you CAN colaborate with other artists and create something new.
and for the record, I thought Gaga was a flash in the pan, too.
but then I saw her Monsters Ball concert on HBO.
the chick can sing, she can dance, (at the same time) she can write, and she can entertain
she doesn't have a lick of fashion sense, tho
(of course, we all thought that about Madonna until every girl under 30 was dressing like her)
