American Idol: April 11
Let’s make this short, shall we?
Queen - Freddie Mercury = Something < Queen
Bucky the Redneck makes "Fat Bottom Girls" into a country tune. Yeah, whatever.
Ace grabs "We Will Rock You" by the balls and castrates the thing. Poor, pathetic attempt to play at being a rock star by the least rock-worthy Idol contestant remaining.
But he just knew that he rocked and he just knew that he was cool.
Idiot.
Kellie the Brain Dead tackles “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Energetic and much harder rocking than anything Ace could pull off. I still didn’t like it, but it wasn’t so bad.
Chris sings “Innuendo.” Yeah, this song sucks and I don’t like pre-fab rock boy all that much, either.
Katherine the Bland sings “Who Wants to Live Forever"--a great song from the wonderful movie Highlander--and it isn’t what I would call good. She killed it, damnit. She killed it. And not in a good way.
The G-Phrase notes that she wasn’t dressed well, either.
Paula continues to suffer a brain deficit.
Elliott makes “Somebody to Love” into a strange show tune. That was sort of odd.
Taylor, with “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, has a chance to redeem himself. The song and the arrangement were good, but the performance was a little forced, but still fun.
Paris sings “The Show Must Go On” and does extremely well. Even the band recognized that “she’s damned good.” The amazing thing is that, for the most part, even outside of her own comfort zone she does exceedingly well. The G-Phrase loves her almost as much as I do.

Comments & Trackbacks
I agree with every point but one: Taylor. I’m with Simon on this one. Taylor was riddiculous. I would also like to add that Kellie, despite her brief moment of hotness a couple of weeks ago, look like an extra from “Night of the Living dead” at the beginning of her performance. That lighting was awful.
The high point of the evening was when Queen refused to playe Ace’s arrangement. Good for them!
In protest I watched the Director’s Cut of Highlande afterwards and made my wife watch it with me.
Last night’s show was a disaster.
I wish I had the Director’s Cut of Highlander. After they announced her song, I told girl where the song came from; she admitted that the only exposure she’s had to Highlander was to watch the TV show a few times.
Criminal.
As for Taylor, I only watched a portion of the performance and I’m wondering if the ridiculousness was in the way he was doing the Taylor dance thing. I saw the failed mike kick and laughed, I admit. Or, it could just be that I have a blind spot for the gray-haired guy since I’ve started to notice some infestation of gray cropping up in my own hair lately…
The best line of the night was, “I can’t do that to my song.”
Beautiful.
Dude, that ckacked me up. Can’t. That.
Freakin’ brutal.
My wife was a big fan of the Highlander TV show, too. Apparently, the start was hot. Having never seen the movie she didn’t know how it ended. The best part of the evening was when she admitted that, given the end of the movie, I was right to say that “nothing after the first movie counts.” Of course, she still likes the show because what’s-his-name is hot. Some days, I just can’t win for losing…
