Errr.. Someone may want to remind him that they were on American Idol last year. Acting like your above it all is difficult when you've been in the thick of it. Getting old is a bitch, isn't it Brian?

shut up.
... if YOUR memory serves you right, you should remember they weren't on the panel: they were coaching the contestants, actually, not evaluating them, so I just can't see why you see a contradiction there...
I don't think that's part of his connexion with Bavaria.
At AI he was being clever enough to take advantage of the promotion that'd represent for him; in this recent case, he was expressing his honest opinion (which I happen to share, btw).

I believe he even stated at the time, and well before that he wasn't fond of the whole reality TV thing, but they were asked to help out some young performers so they obliged.. then they made him look grumpy so he's probably remembering that as well.
Can I add sound effects to this?

I share it too. This is essentially what TV like this represents:
You want to make it big
We have the means to do it
You will try
We will Mock You
You will leave disappointed
How is *THAT* entertainment? From Plop Idol to Dragon's Den...since when did demeaning people's personal ambitions become such salaciously indecent television?
Go Brian.

Oh for God's sake, I'm as big a Queen - and Brian - fan as anyone here. But his "holier than thou" statement is pretty funny. His "I promise you'll never see us on a panel blah blah blah..." is pretty funny considering he was on a show setting people up to appear before the panel. I'm glad Brian supposedly feels this way, but a year ago he sure seemed to be all in favor of American Idol. I thought it was funny and a bout of old age, but the stepfords have to curse me for saying anything disparaging (Adolfo, you'll need to go look that word up) about their Hero.
Hey Adolfo, it's a shame you exhausted your complete vocabulary (you'll have to look that word up as well) in your response. Otherwise you could participated further in the discussion.

If my memory serves me right, Brian regreted being on American Idol last year.
Brian was not in a panel... he was onstage somewhere in USA helping the kids to rehearse the songs.
Idiot.

Nowhere did anyone say he was on a panel. Read the post. Learn to comprehend English. A triple digit IQ would also be beneficial, but I understand you are at disadvantage in that department.

I seem to remember something like that too, which is understandable. It's possible that he may not have known what they were getting into. It just seems from his quote that he has completely forgotten that they participated in it at all. Or maybe his disdain for shows of that ilk is due to his experience.

I repeat, the participation in American Idol have NOTHING to do with this situation that a tv channel offered to Brian. He wasn`t judging the kids... he was just talking with them and playing... the show was about Queen´s music so they appeared on the show. Do u understand that?

Sure, I understand that American Idol is a show where contestants stand before a panel of judges. Have you seen it? Simon Cowell is famous for belittling people, just as Brian alluded to in his quote. I realize that Brian wasn't on the panel, but did he not participate on the show knowing how it works? He's a smart man - give him some credit.
Look, Brian seems to be a great guy with a good heart, and its very possible that he wasn't aware of what went on AI when he participated. But the fact is that he did participate, whether he was on the panel or not. Not a big deal, but for him to put himself above such proceedings is odd considering his involvement in the past. I seriously think he forgot about it. It's not like it was the pinacle of his career or anything!
Peace
