      it can be a sign of creativity if the creator of a song sings it differently in one live situation. many are doing it. but it wouldn't be appropriate if tom chaplin would interpret one song from another band differently. his own songs he can sing as he like.

      Jacob Crowell: I'm of two minds. I thought he was very good, loved it... yet I am so biased when it comes to Freddie, he just had that extra something that simply can't be duplicated. Power, rawness, vocal range, his own stamp.

    By coincidence I came across this performance, even though it was recorded more then 10 years ago.
    Brian May’s reaction at the end of this clip says it all: this was an excellent performance as a whole and everyone loved it, including the other musicians. Tom Chaplin did not try to copy Freddie, but made his own version of “It’s a hard life” and I think that he did an incredible job. Well done!

I have never seen this video before. It just suits him so well and his voice. Looks like a wee boy living out his dream, beaming from ear to ear, strutting about the stage like his hero!

    @FishHeadSalad ya, man, I'm a huge Queen fan ever since I heard Bohemian Rhapsody and I bought the Night at the Opera album. Totally hooked. Brian May was one of those (is?) geniuses who always approached it from the thinker's angle. Almost never hear a bunch of noise out of him. Pure notes and melodies. Yeah, I was very impressed with Tom's performance in this vid. He just walked out and nailed it from the first note. Takes some balls and skill to do that, I say.

    Fair enough. I tend to only work and deal with mainstream, enormo-rock, and in retrospect, you have a point.
    My point was, Keane is not a Super-group, nor likely will they be.
    The opportunity we are discussing does not come along "once in a lifetime"
    A chance to be in Keane might, but the chance to be in Queen comes once in a lifetime, out of millions, and millions, and millions of lives.
    But in the end, whatever makes Tom happy is all that really matters.
