I'm really not into AI (life is too short to listen to lousy or mediocre singers) but my wife watches the show. The Queen theme was a definite draw for me at the same time thinking how any of these idols could possibly cope or get close to Freddie's range? Taylor was the smartest to me. Do a song that doesn't take a huge range and mug for the camera while having fun. Although he doesn't have the best voice on the current crop, his act and intelligence in trying not to do something his voice could not do, made him a winner in the performance that night. Also choosing Queen really screwed the women. There are few female professional singers that can sing anywhere close to Freddie's range.

Gotta love this, who could even come close to Freddie's range? I dont expect much but will be great to hear covers from my Idol of the 70's and 80's. Anyone following the show, predictions of who will perform what and who will excel? Katherine singing Love of my Life and Chris singing We will Rock you are my predicitions.
