Don't get me wrong, I like it when she dresses up like a whore. It's kind of hard to wax my carrot over her when the camera keeps shifting focus to Brian May though.

============================
That is a big part of why this doesn't quite work for me. Brian somewhat disconcertingly conceives her as a "rock chick", and has referred to her as such. She's brilliant at what she does, more or less, but what she does is not rock. There is an edge and grittiness to successful and credible women in rock that she simply does have. Guitar tracks from Brian, even great ones, aren't going to be able to fix that.

I figured it was time for a bit of open and honest communicating!
"She's brilliant at what she does, more or less, but what she does is not rock"
Yeah, precisely. She does not belong in the idiom that Brian is trying to force her into. I've listened to a few of her performances with Brian, and it's a mismatch. She is not lacking in ability, but it's a waste trying to get her to sing some of this stuff.

Just watched the whole BBC Breakfast interview. After showing a clip from Proms in the Park even the presenters were sniggering about Kerry's dress. She had the good grace to laugh along but Brian was just sat there with a face like a slapped arse. He went on about her "once in a lifetime" voice. Piss off. in London theatre circles voices like hers are 10 a penny.
He just came over as a dirty old man trying to defend his "discovery". Can't see how it helped to shift units or put bums on seats.
