That guy needs to relax - how can u have such anger towards a song - what would he think of a killer??
Anyway who cares if its opera or not - the song rocks and its a vocal showpiece rather than a musical one (like if comparing it to trained musicians)

Fine. Despite the fact that I REALLY didn't want to do it, I added "Addendum Two" which states that I'm not being serious.
I really didn't want to do that...
I only did it for people who might not have time to read the rest of the thread, since I don't really care if people call me a twat or anything.

LMAO!
Excellent work, Audacity! Very clever - my only suggestion is to follow fatty's example by not reappearing to comfort those too dimwitted to see the genius and humour of your posts. Let them rage, the sad little fops. I'm just glad this wasn't a quote from some actual opera periodical - there's nowhere in the world I wouldn't fly to have a word with a journalist publishing this in seriousness.

I think it means "Shit whore that does not deserve to be here, rot you wicked bitch !"
The part that threw me off was that I'm not used to being addressed as a male. But I guess that's what I get for calling myself Charles...

I think the "Shit whore that does not deserve to be here, rot you wicked bitch !" that I posted on the previous page is more accurate (but, alas, I could be wrong). But yours is certianly a more creative interpretation.

If this topic wasn't mostly filled with teenagers who are blindly pro-Queen, then perhaps this could be a decent discussion.
I think the first post was an excellent and very thought-provoking one (copied/pasted from another source, unfortunately omitting the name of the reviewer). It's certainly not satire. It's a genuine review. I have never heard a review of Bohemian Rhapsody from the perspective of a devoted fan of opera. They raised some very good points.
How much opera have we all listened to? Can the middle section of Bohemian Rhapsdoy compare to it in any way? Is it a fair portrayal of opera? Do people who sing or write operas feel like opera has been ridiculed to some extent by BoRhap being in the mainstream? Has it actually inspired people to see operas? Or has it perhaps made people's attention spans for opera even less, because the opera section is only a minute long - leading into a hard rock section? Perhaps they see Bohemian Rhapsody, especially that middle part of the song, as an example of how modern art has sunk low - compared to the quality of true opera.
How about this... are fans of opera insulted by the fact that we call albums by The Who "rock operas"? Does that give opera music a good name? Does that inspire people to listen to more opera music?
These are all fair questions, and worth discussing.
But I won't be overly optimistic and actually think this discussion will happen here. In that case, prove me wrong, people!

Well, I'm up for a go then.
I haven't listened to very much opera as it all sounds very similar to my ears. I believe Freddie called the middle section 'mock opera', and while it was heavily researched and planned, I would doubt that he'd call it 'opera' proper. This is similar to the call and response gospel vocals of STL. They're not really gospel vocals, but they're Queen's take on what they'd create from gospel music. I would hazard a guess that true opera fans would dismiss Bohemian Rhapsody much as I'd dismiss the 'talent' on shows like American Idol. Opera, like jazz, is difficult to embrace, and takes a commitment. For ADD addled folks like myself, I'd go squirrelly listening to hours of opera, so Bohemian Rhapsody fits the bill nicely. The reason that I've always like Queen over other good bands is the diversity in tackling other genres (opera, gospel, punk, disco, funk) and making them into a Queen style. For instance, AC/DC is a great rock band, but their catalogue isn't as diverse as Queen and after a while I personally tire of hearing the same type of song for 10 straight cuts on an album.

Profanity is so American. While I found the English insult very offensive, these two interpretations are quite fun.
1. "You don't deserve to enter here" sounds so polite, rendering the other 3 vulagarities harmless. In fact, "fucker" is more of a friendly term.
2. "Shit whore". What is that? Conjuring up a vision completely distracts from the rest of the comment. Is it a working gal who prefers.... I don't even want to go there. See what I mean?
Thanks guys, it's good to know who deserves to enter here.

Well, I'm very sorry, but I did actuall write the thing, so the by-line can read "Kelley Farrick" (My real name, which Charles is not). The fact that (if you're serious) you think this is a real review - I'll take that as a compliment.
I DID write it from a pro-opera point of view. I have opera in my music collection and wrote it from the point of view of someone who would be seriously offended by a "mock opera". It was very important to me to not just make up lies, but to create something that could be genuinely true.
Also, since I don't have much time right now, I would like to add to your idea - about getting people interested in opera. "Bohemian Rhapsody" didn't do that for me. If any sort of "popular music" helped with that spark, it would probably be the song "Barcelona" (I don't have the album, just the one song). That and a whole ton of other environmental facotors such as my mom taking me to musicals and having a month of listening to nothing but Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".
And now lunch-time is almost over...
