Suffice to say he failed misrably, and though it would be unfair to judge him with that single performance &#8211; I&#8217;m sure he&#8217;s feeling the consequences of his decision tenfold.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t believe that he should&#8217;ve given up rock &#8211; I&#8217;d bet he&#8217;d do well singing Queen songs. He just has to choose wisely. But I also agree that he fits better with the <em>rocker-doing-standards<\/em> angle &#8211; just like what Sting, Robbie Williams, et all did.
