But you asked why they did that song and I am sure it was because Adam sang it on Idol. That was the only reason I mentioned Idol. I can't leave Idol out, if that is probably why he chose it. It was a song that got a lot of acclaim and he sang it quite a bit after Idol. How do I not mention that? You can think what you like, I thought it was a great version. YMMV. Sometimes it is just fun to sing something totally outside the realm of the Queen catalog. Everyone was surprised and talking about it and if Brian and Roger also had this great connection to the song, it seems like it was a good choice. I thought the performance looked like a lot of fun for the guys and it was done very well. I enjoyed it immensely as it was something new for a change.
It wasn't even explained why they picked it, just that Lambert suggested it.
Why are you so adamant that it was picked because of Idol? It's that supposed to make it seem endearing to Queen and rock fans?
If Brian and Roger had a connection to the song you say, after I expl6 the connection they had to Zeppelin. AL covering Zeppelin on a talent show is nowhere near the connections Queen have with zeppelin.
No, even Brian and Roger can't make AL singing the song better, in my opinion, I'd go as far as saying it's one of the worst covers I've heard all sing. I think it shows his weakness.
That’s another thing Adam Worshippers always do... answer things for Adam that he hadn’t even answered himself.
