QUEEN on American Idol!

[BITEYOASS]

It would be like Ed trying to give Dave vocal lessons.

ARRGH! Corporate meeting went on until 9:15 last night! Missed the whole thing! ROCK week and I miss it! Next week will probably be gay Barry Manilow night or something! Oh they already had that! I guess Faux Queen didn't perform anyway? How did Bucky do on Fat Bottom Girls?

Whoever missed it last night, you can get on your knees and give thanks to the good LORD.

What a trainwreck. Only one of the contestants did an even passable job with the material.

Horrifying, but yet you have to watch simply to see who can butcher the songs even more.

It was an abomination.

and he turned out to be one of the better ones

Chris should have done that tune...he could have rocked it out

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.

That was awesome. They were like ummm....NO!

Ace should have done a different tune anyway. He deserves to lose just for being a stupid fuck. Last night was made for him and he fucked it up.

Not too bad, considering the others. I thought Taylor sang his well, but Simon asked him if he was drunk. LOL

(Funny people ask me that all the time too...)

Chris? I thought he sounded good. I love Queen, but Innuendo is one of my least favorite tunes...he did it well, though, IMO.

Chris did a good job, IMO, but it just didn't feel right watching Queen having any part of American Idol.

[diamondsgirl]

I wondered how that came to be and Ryan Seacrest said that the producer of American Idol produced one of Queens videos or something like that. I'll bet they wouldn't have done it otherwise.

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.

Make that another. Sorry, to me it's just not queen without Freddie. He was THE voice. They came by here and I passed, cause it isn't worth it to me without Freddie.

Not bad? I won't be able to listen to that song for a week now. It was THE worst one the whole night. He turned it country, and his voice isn't even close to powerful enough to come anywhere close to be an even ok cover.

So I missed last night ... did they say "The Band Formerly Known as Queen" would be performing tonight!? I will have to get the VCR going 'cuz more meetings this evening! Blech!

I didn't think it sucked as much as some of the others.
I thought Elliot, Ace and Kellie were the worst.
Bucky, Paris, and Kathrine didn't suck as much.
Taylor was OK.
Chris was the best.
