I don't think it was ridiculous for Freddie to do what he did. I mean, he looked kinda silly sometimes but he was pure fun. Maybe he would look ridiculous now if he were alive and still rocking but I'm sure he would have gotten less wild on stage with the years. Having said that, look at Mick Jagger now, he's still prancing around, isn't he?
On the other hand, the part about Teo Toriatte is kinda lame. I mean, he should've learnt the lyrics, it was his job as a vocalist, btw. He did it very nicely in Japan 79. That video is really cool. He performs that song like the magnificent anthem it is. Cool!
And about Stepford, it's common knowledge over here and it comes from the movie "The Stepford Wives" which was recently remade. In it, the wives of all the guys in a place called Stepford are replaced by (or converted into) pleasing droids. The perfect yet vain, empty and fake version of the women they were. I don't remember who came up with this term over here but it sure was some years ago (maybe fatty?).
See ya..

Well, if you read some interviews ,Freddie pointed out several times that he did not take himself seriously and that he wanted to entertain people while he was onstage.
Let`s remember he was a singer and his presence onstage was huge.In my opinion (very subjective as opinions generally are) he was a gifted artist in all senses .On the other side of course there are different tastes ,as yours ,and I do respect it since we are so different and , fortunately, free to choose what we see and listen to.
Peace and whole lotta love.

Dont you think it would have been worse if he forgot the lines during the song.Freddie wanting to make sure he gave his all would do this rather than embarass himself or the audience.He might be great but not perfect.
Maybe I am more perceptive than others here. But I can tell when Freddie is being "animated" yet still giving a sincere, professional effort, and when he's just going through the motions.
A good performance is Live Aid. He was campy but he did it in a serious way. He was professional, and dedicated.
He is also soooo full of himself, like he is super-god or something. That turns me off a little, detracting from his technical brilliance. His cockiness, arrogance is unnecessary. Consider that in real life, he was purported to be a shy, modest person. Why couldn't he give a technically brilliant yet also respectably subdued performance?
I just think that a lot of times, he is full of himself, and throws out a clunky performance, and thinks the audience should lap it up regardless.
BTW, did anyone else see the Interview on the Live At the Bowl DVD with Brian and Roger?
There's this funny moment when Roger contradicts Brian, and the camera zooms in on Brians face, and you can tell his ego has been rubbed the wrong way, and he is struggling to compose himself. What a thin-skinned arrogant guy Brian is! And all this time, I had the impression that Brian was a humble modest guy. I don't think so!
I think it reinforces the notion that these 3 members of Queen (I don't think John Deacon was like that) were highly egotistical, with super sized egoes and it must be funny to see the arguments they must've had amongst themselves.

Who gives a dog shit if he had the lyrics wrote down to Teo Torriate??
That's like a 4th string Queen song... I'd rather hear Delilah live...
He was probably drunk and lost a bet to do the song live anyway.
Its not like he had "we are the champions" lyrics wrote on the back of his hand.
