IMO...
Those women? Sheesh. They were horrible. All three of them. Katherine hits these nails-on-chalkboard notes all the time. I can never get through one of her performances without a shudder, and with this, I shuddered all the way through. She can yell and screech, but she'd certainly cannot sing.
Paris? Oh my God. That was disgusting. Her look, her moves, her flat notes. Terrible. Just terrible. How do they get the nerve to get out there and do that in front of millions?
Kellie? Not worth discussing. Can't they just vote her off already? "On paper?"
The guys -
Ace's version of WWRY was awful. It's supposed to get you into the beat, get you moving and singing. I felt like sticking a firecracker in his pocket. He should be gone after Kellie.
Bucky's version wasn't one I'd buy, but you know what? If I heard it on the radio, I think I'd listen to it. A sort of country rock I'd never buy, but didn't hate.
I expected more from Chris. Yeah, he hit the notes, but it sounded like he was ripping his throat apart to do it. Didn't like his version of Innuendo at all. And the comments from the judges just proved how little they really know about music... and about Queen specifically.
Elliot never heard Somebody to Love? Yeah. Right. He didn't do a bad job, but I wouldn't have listened to the whole thing if I had a choice. Certainly not a quality performance.
Taylor. I guess he's someone you either love or hate. I so enjoy watching him because he has such a grand time. I was entertained by his performance. I laughed and bopped with the beat because he made it fun.
If anyone did justice to a Queen song on that show, IMHO, it was Taylor and Taylor alone.

After last night's performances, I really miss Mandisa.

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. [/QUOTE]
Amazing that a simple show could bring such dramatic responses. Just a show.....for mindless entertainment. Not a religion or a way of life. Just a freakin show.
This is why the government should put Prozac in tap water. The U.S. would be a much happier place.

I watched A.I. for the first time courtesy of PieterMC who shares it, thanks again!
I am not used to these shows and I was really appalled. I second what Dan Corson said, it's just horrible.
I wonder how Brian and Roger liked it when they heard that Innuendo was called "not a good song" and voters were advised to vote for the voice and forget about the song. I also wonder how Brian will like it when his soap box is flooded with emails by angry AI fans who think he is the "rudest celebrity on AI ever". Maybe it was not such a great idea, after all.
Btw, did anyone buy the CD?

I thought it was Simon who said Innuendo wasn't that great of a song that's why Queen never did it live?I thought Innuendo was performed the best remember they only have 90 seconds.
Ace didn't get on the show by being a rocket scientist. He got there on good looks and an average ability to sing. But to try to change the rhythm of We Will Rock You, which basically has nothing to offer musically other than rhythm, is just stupid. And if I had been Brian May, I probably would have been even less diplomatic.
well, i thought they all did okay considering they are tring to preform some of the hardeds rock songs out there, i like the whatcheface did inuendo because its like on of my fav songs and the only reason they never preformed it live is because they had already stoped touring when it was released. duh. anyway i am looking forward to the show tonight, i dont really like american idol but i love seein queen geting some attention, i thnk its time for a second coming!! whoop whoop!!! queen is back baby!!! yeah!!!!
-peace
ps:f**k you simon, inuendo rocks

Thanks Leroy.
They just sang a medley (Weds). Chris actually did surprisingly bad for his, like, 10 seconds. But it was Under Pressure which isn't really good for him. And Kelli did better with her line of "Don't Stop Me Now" than she did with Bohemian Rhapsody at all.
And Paula said, "I didn't realize how hard these songs are to sing." I said this in another post but feel the need to repeat myself just becasue she's a damn crackhead. Wasn't she on the charts at the same time as Queen? Shouldn't she at least be aware of a bit more than she is?

Ergh, Paula dithering and never getting to the point and saying that Queen didn't perform Innuendo live because "they didn't want to." My eyebrows were literally stuck to the ceiling due to my eye rolling and tisking.
