It was what I expected.....nothing special. I thought all of them were pretty bad. In my opinion, Taylor Hicks was the best tonight but still, nothing special. I understand that it's Queen and difficult to perform and all but still, I was quite disappointed. The only part I liked was the beginning where they showed clips of Queen. :) Again, this is my personal opinion!

There was no feeling in The Show must go on(Paris), I really love the song and the way is sang(Freddie). This thing Called Love started ok and ended like Taylor change like he was sinning " I am a maniac, maniac...". Fat Bottomed Girls, ok, dilevered cool. We Will Rock You, let's just say We Will Rap You. Innuendo, nobody will know how this song can be sanged, live, becouse its creater is dead. Bohemian Rhapsody, I prefer last year's Constantine proformence. Somebody To Love, no love for the song, no feeling for it as well. Who Wants To Live Forever was probably sang the best, in meaning, closes to the original. They need to put feelings so the songs can become better as Freddie have done it.
I had never heard of any of these people before tonight, and I hope I never do again. I've never cringed for an entire hour before. I thought I had a case of rigor mortis.
Gandahalf, I couldn't have said it better myself, but that's because I'm not a good speaker haha. I loved when Ace asked BRian if he could change WWRY around and Brian was awesome/dignified and said "no".
Everyone did a horrible job except Taylor Hicks. God but Kellie? I hope her hillbilly ass gets sent going home tomorrow

Tonight I watched American Idol for the first time ever. It's amazing how one can go in with such incredibly low expectations as I did and be shocked at just how much credit I was actually giving the show. If AI could get worse, that would be truly amazing.
And we wonder why other countries want to blow us up.
To the show...
1st a white trash blonde hick trashing Fat Bottomed Girls. I almost turned it off at this point.
2nd some complete douchebag named Ace sucking up the stage with his makeup sprayed face, showing just how far one is willing to embarras themselves on national TV. I loved Brian's reaction to this gimp's requests on how to play WWRY. It was also priceless that this guy when asked about his performance said, "I think I rocked." I shrieked with laughter.
3rd I had to take a shower and the early sounds of this blonde doing Bo Rhap led me to believe her performance was worth missing.
4th was the only reasonable job. A baldguy with some style and a good voice doing a butchered version of Innuendo. I'd give him a C+ which easily gives him the prize. That Simon gimp bashed Innuendo as being a weak song, so I was ready to bail at this point.
5th I stuck around for to see some girl about to show some real guts and try Don't Stop Me Now, but then she pussed out and did a D- job of Who Wants To Live Forever.
By the end of the song, I turned the TV off, trying to fight back my nausea.
I read later about someone having the guts to try Somebody To Love. Good for them, I am sure it sucked though. Pretty tasteless for someone to be trying The Show Must Go On, a song that shouldn't be covered, except maybe for Paul Rodgers with Queen.
In short, I am thoroughly embarrassed and disgusted that this American Idol show has taken the top spot in American Television ratings. It symbolizes the anti-intellectualism that strangles our culture year after year. I will be watching tomorrow only to see Queen play. I want world peace like most everyone else, but if Al Qaeda has to select another American target for terrorism, I think a live American Idol show would be my personal vote. Maybe they could at least send that Simon guy an envelope containging some Anthrax.
What a royal piece of shit show!

One thing that AI showed is that to really sing Queen songs the vocalist has to have POWER in their voice. Ace fell flat and really no one wowwed because of the lack of power. Like or dislike Paul Rogers - he has the power behind his voice to pull it off.
Geez Ameriqueen, who whizzed in your wheaties this morning?
All in all, I thought most of the performences were not bad. I HATED Kellie- I agree with the cockatiel/barbie comment. She looked like frickin S&M Barbie where the owner decided to add eyeliner in ballpoint pen. (Many of my barbies met the untimely eyeliner fate, so I should know)
I thoroughly enjoyed Taylor's performance- he had fun, I had fun.. it was great.
Paris sucked. Sorry- but the bouncing up and down and hair clutching was nauseating.
I was really looking forward to Chris' performance- I love that song- and I thought the judges comments were rather uncalled for. I thought it was funny that they kept going on about how Queen never performed the song live- that wouldn't have anything to do with Freddie dying shortly after the album came out would it?
Thats a head scratcher...

Someone in the AI forum actually praised Ace for creating a new version of WWRY! To which I had this to say:
He didn't do a new version of We Will Rock You...he did the version Britney Spears, Pink and Beyonce did in their soda commercial from a year ago...oh yeah, that was in the UK though so the Americans didn't see it ;)
If Ace would have done the "fast" version of We Will Rock You from Queen's old shows (the "Live Killers" CD, the "Live At The Bowl" concert DVD, the "We Will Rock You" concert DVD, etc.) which was already totally different than the original, then he would have blown everyone else away. That version totally ROCKS. Why don't these "performers" get on the internet and research the songs they're doing?!?
[It also irritated me that he wanted to rework it when, with a little research, he would have found the version Queen had already totally reworked in 1978.]

Kellie Pickler was better than I expected but she really is not very bright.
If she doesn't win on American Idol she can always compete in the Special Olympics.
Do they have a category for pole dancing? :D
