I don't know if ya saw it, but when they had Queen on American Idol, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell said Innuendo was a bad song!!?? I couldn't BELEIVE it!! I actually threw something at the TV and shouted abuse at it, it's a brilliant song! They had no bloody idea what they were talking about.[/QUOTE]
WHAAAAT!!!! Idiots. Still Simon is famous for putting everyone down he comes across not necessarily for knowing what he is talking about.
I love Innuendo. I heard it for the first time and it reminded me strongly of Bo Rhap. Not that it sounds like it of course just the length and the twists and turns[/QUOTE]
The thing about Cowell's comment was just that he put Queen down, he actually made a very idiotic statement.
His comment was "Now I understand why they never played that song live", refering to Innuendo. Yeah, I guess the fact that Freddie was practically on his death bed at that point had nothign to do with it, huh, Simon?! [/QUOTE]
This is what Paula said:
"The reason the band probably never performed it live is because they probably didn't want to - and only you probably could. And there have been more times that you have superceded even when the *band* performs. That's why you should look back at the package and watch how they are in admiration over your performance."
Typical PaulaBabble.
Now, this is what Simon said.
"Chris, they don't perform that song live because it's not a very good song. It's not."
Then, later...to Chris:
"I will grant you; the best vocal tonight. The best believable vocal tonight. I'm just disappointed, Chris - I just think it's a shame that you didn't decide to entertain the audience with one of the great Queen songs..."
(Sad that I know this - transcribed many many weeks ago).

The only song I can think of that relates to this topic is 'She Makes Me'. It's the most dissed track on this board, and while it's not a Queen masterpiece, I do like the song very much. It's soft, simple, but also very beautiful. Great vocal performance, gorgeous guitar eruption moment, and some of the best back up vocals Freddie has ever laid down in the studio.
A Kind of Magic.
OK OK, I know the song got to number 3 in Britain and is a very popular Queen song, but on this board it is a song always dismissed. I love this song because it's one of those songs you hear and don't forget in a hurry.

People get fed up with these two as they are both so overplayed, but you don't forget them ever (see above)and I never get bored of it.
Sheer Heart Attack
Just love it, Roger's songs got so much better when he invited Freddie to sing them with him (I still love Roger's voice though)
Spread Your Wings, Let Me Entertain You, the whole Queen II album: the songs are all just brilliant, what can I say. Queen II is a severely underrated album, as is Queen I
