Queen on American Idol


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.

Huh! Ace is still there, we'll see about next week. Bucky was unfortunate enough to a) not be the best talent and b) be first in the line-up (have you noticed how the firsts end up last?). Let's see what happens next week. Q: Who can do Rod?" A: Almost anybody -- especially when it comes to standards.
This can be a "popularity" contest as much as a singing contest, hence why Ace is still there, the girls like him. I expect Kelly to be one of the last for the same reason, athough she has more talent IMO and could do some Country.

I hope Chris stays true to how he sings, which I expect he will, even though the judges seem to contradict themselves. Simon praised Chris a number of weeks back for staying true to himself, the other judges agreed. A week or so later Simon criticized Chris saying he can't sing the same way every week! Which is it Simon? BTW, since when does an artist have to sound different on every song?

If Chris gets a contract, hopefully they will not destroy his sound, like with Bo. Chris is not a Pop artist, if they market him in Rock I think he could be HUGE.

I also think Katharine could be HUGE if marketed in the right arena. She reminds me of someone that could follow in steps such as Diana Krall or Norah Jones.
