"Here is an interesting fact: We know him as Borat and Bruno, but Sacha Baron Cohen is set to star in a new biopic about Queen’s Mercury. Writing by Peter Morgan, who wrote the scripts for “Frost/Nixon” and “The Last King of Scotland.” Surviving members Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon – have given approval for use of the band’s music in the movie. It’s not known whether Baron Cohen will sing the songs, or whether Mercury’s voice will be used instead. Here’s an Idea. Why not have Carly Ozard sing the songs?

"Carly has strong stage presence and a versatile, well controlled mezzo-soprano voice. She also delivers a catty sense of humor in and between songs....She carries notes with a judicious use of vibrato and studious attention to pitch. Her economy of motion and her size enable her to command the stage with poise and elegance.... Her encore was Queen's "Somebody to Love," her signature song, using Freddie Mercury's vocal intonations unerringly."
