Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury - yes or no?

Reports say Sacha Baron Cohen will play Freddie Mercury in a biopic - good idea? I've been watching old Queen footage (including Live Aid, which still blows me away) today and wondering if Cohen can pull this off. Right now, no one is saying whether Cohen will lip-sync or actually sing. I'm not entirely certain even a great singer (and Cohen can sing, see: ''Sweeney Todd'') could pull it off. Would love to hear what others think!

After watching Sweeney Todd in the theaters a few years back... I'd say 'yes', I think he can pull it off. He has come across as obnoxious, but he has the acting and singing skills to do it.

But it is really hard for me to put his bright yellow unitard out of my mind when he sings as Borat. What a character he will always be. Talented, funny, and often misunderstood.
I can relate to that...

There is definitely a resemblance and I'm sure Sacha could pull off the acting part. I'm not sure about the singing because I have never heard him sing, but they could always do lip syncing for those parts. I think the movie would be very entertaining with him playing the part of Freddie.
