Did anyone catch the interview with KROQ Rodney "on-the-'Roq" Bingenheimer and Constantine Maroulis the other night?
DJ: And what’s this rumor about Queen? I heard Queen is…
C: Queen is, uh, well they’ve invited me to sing on their new tribute record. And I’m doing Bohemian Rhapsody, the 30th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody.
DJ: Really? Wow.
C: Yes, so, Oliver Lieber is producing the track with me. And we’re really excited about it. Actually, tomorrow I head back in the studio to, um, work on some more of the vocals. It’s gonna be on Hollywood Records, and there’s some great stars like, uh, let’s see, the Cars are doing a track on there, um, Joss Stone, Gavin DeGraw. A bunch of other rock stars. It’s really gonna be a great record. So go check that out sometime this summer.
DJ: I heard that some members of Queen are going to play on it as well.
C: They are. They are. They’re very much involved, um.
DJ: I’m good friends with Roger, the drummer, Roger Taylor.
C: Oh great. I haven’t had the honor to meet him yet, but, uh, Brian May was really kind and said some nice things about me after I sung Bohemian Rhapsody on the show. And, uh, here we are. So, just, all my dreams are coming true Rodney (Rodney’s the dj).
DJ; Yeah.
C: And, it’s very cool.
Also for those who asked here is an easy way to listen to the song Constantine performed with AI band, on TV and with 1 week or less to learn...just crank the speakers ;)

Okay who is singing it - the Flaming Lips or Constantine?
And I saw Freddie sing Bohemian Raphsody 3 times live and Constantine, considering he only had less than a week to practice the song, sang it live, and with an AI band to accompany him, did a great job on that song. And I've listened to the mp3 - he is not out of tune at all.
