Freddie, of course, yeah! He was above average. Who can't adore Freddie's work? Are we nuts? I also like a lot Elton John, another genius, and from the gay women, K.D. lang is great.

I think more people should listen to her songs because her work is special. It shouldn't matter how she looks. She is awesome as a singer. People shouldn't judge her for her masculine looks. Her songs are very emotional, and she has great quality as an artist.

Freddie Mercury is the biggest African/Indian rock star in history. He's also the first gay rock god. It doesn't matter to some people, but I think it would matter to Freddie.

Freddie Mercury actually sucks. In my opinion, George Michael has a more beautiful voice and better, more addictive songs than Bohemian Rhapsody. I really don't know why Freddie Mercury is considered the best of all when his music wasn't so addictive.

George Michael should be at the number one spot. This man sings with his heart and soul. No one can touch him. Love you George.

He was the greatest gay icon ever.

Adam Lambert Adam Mitchel Lambert (born January 29, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and stage actor. He rose to prominence as the runner-up on the eighth season of American Idol in 2009. Since then, he has sold over 2.5 million albums and five million singles worldwide.

Love him so much and I'm thrilled that he is in the top two.

Mika has a beautiful falsetto and voice, and I love his music so much.

It's colorful, cheerful, and energetic, but can also be melancholic and heartbreaking. The lyrics are so clever and deep. He is my favorite artist, and I love him so much! (Addiction warning!)

I never thought we would have a gay pop star like him who is both explicitly and celebratorily gay. His music captures my ten years between 14 and 24 like no other artist ever has.

Cool music, easy listening, and gives a blues feel.

Troye Sivan writes songs that touch the heart.
