QUEEN on American Idol!

[mako_kimura]

Well, the thing I like about Paul Rodgers is that he isn't trying to be Freddie. He knows he'll never top Freddie, so he's his own dude. Spammy, however, tries too much to top Dave

Exactly...

I'm sorry, Paul Rodgers or no...after 20 odd years of Freddie being THE voice for Queen, nobody oughta be up there...

I'm all for The Paul & Brian Show, but I don't like the name Queen being thrown around this...because it's really not.

My opinion, of course.

And I agree 100%.

I respect all the musicians involved, but I'd have preferred it if they just left well enough alone.

Call me a purist.

But with that said I'd probably go see them if they came to my shitty local venue. There's not too many other quality acts competing for my concert dollar these days.

No.

Sammy Hagar is the worst thing to ever happen to music.

:D

Yea, but its not called QUEEN. Its called QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS. They need to have the word QUEEN in there somewhere, otherwise people wouldn't know it was QUEEN. I see it more as a supergroup above anything else.

It can't be QUEEN anyway if around 25% of the set is PAUL RODGER's material.

I'll be honest, I find stuff like that good TV. Even when the original British one, Pop Idol, was on back in 2000/2001, I don't care who wins, and it doesn't matter anyway, cos, I don't know about America, but in this country the people in them don't last very long afterwards. I can think of 2 that have gone on to be relatively successful.

...don't forget to watch tommorrow night! Should be interesting seeing lil Paris do a Queen song!

I am really looking foward to this show tonite. I have been trying to think of who will sing what song. Ace will sound cool with his falsetto. I was thinking he could do a bang up 'Somebody to Love"

I thought it would be funny if whomever does "Another One Bites the Dust" gets voted off because then they have to sing it as their goodbye song. Very fitting.

Anyway...I dig the shit outta Taylor Hicks. Seems like a cool cat. I don't think he'll win though, I think Chris Daughtry will.

Anyways...I'd rather party with Taylor.

[diamondsgirl]

what I really want to hear is Taylor doing a Joe Cocker tune.

I think he would kick the shit out of "Feelin' Alright"

I am auctually watching it right now. (Nothing else on, So WTF.). Very mediocre at best with the gu who covered Fat Bottomed Girls.

[Unchainme]

Again Another Mediocre Version of one of Britain's best Band. We Will Rock You is soooo Freddie.

[Unchainme]

Bohemian Rhapsody is decent, Still not impressed thus far.

[ALMOSTsaved]

It was nice to see Brian and Roger hand Ace his ass and tell him they would not play HIS arrangement of THEIR song. It was also funny when Ryan Seacrest asked Ace about the uncomfortable moment of that situation and Ace acted as if Ryan was asking about his performance. Ace is a hack.

[BITEYOASS]

I tried watching this show, I had a nausiating feeling in my stomach. and WTF does Ace think he is in telling other band members to play it this way.
