Any Idol Fans?

[Marilyn. 340]

I really hate the theme nights... it is really unfair.... It is ok when they do the different decade themes because there are all sorts of songs to choose from... But not everyone can sing country or rock etc...

they should just be allowed to sing the songs they want to

[Jenn! 918]

No one resurrected this today?

Who's pumped for Queen?

[Ladylethal 12]

Idol is not on till tomorrow here in Brasil, and this week we see last week´s Idol, meaning I´ll see Mandisa saying goodbye.

[Euro 3]

I think Queen night is going to suck!!!

That sucks that it's always spoiled for you.

Do they show both nights in one or do they separate it like here - performances and then elimination?

[Ladylethal 12]

Separated. Wednesday is performance, Thursday elimination. Always one week late. And it´s hard to stay out of this topic so I won´t see who´s out.

[CarolineM 0]

They were playing QUeen songs on the local radio station - I hate them all.

Also it's an hour elimination show. Argh.

[Ladylethal 12]

They shouldn´t mess with Queen unless they really knew what they were doing. Freddie was just too good to be imitated.

[Cristy 4]

They are doing Queen?? That is odd. I prefer when they do a decade instead of a certain singer. Though Elton John has a good variety.

[Cristy 4]

Taylor Hicks....song of the night.

Amen. Thy butchered one Queen song after the other. It was hideous.

The only one somewhat acceptable was Chris tonight.

[Ladylethal 12]

It was all Queen tonight? Who sang what?

Here are the Queen songs the Idol finalists will be singing — and their comments.

PREVIEW: Idols rock in Queen's Arena

•Ace Young, We Will Rock You: "I urbanized the verses a little, just by riding on (the notes). I put a little R&B soul on it. When we were done, they said, 'That sounds like a record.' "

•Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls: "Yes, we all love the fat-bottomed girls."

•Chris Daughtry, Innuendo: "It's a relatively unknown song. It just had a mixture of a dark feel and a positive message. And I just found out they've never performed this live."

•Elliott Yamin, Somebody to Love: "I was drawn to the passionate emotion of the song. I heard a lot of soul in it."

•Katharine McPhee, Who Wants to Live Forever: "How could (this) not be fun? We're working with so many different legends."

•Kellie Pickler, Bohemian Rhapsody: "We only have 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the song is really long. Having to cut so many pieces is really hard to memorize, because I'm not singing the song as it's originally played."

•Paris Bennett, The Show Must Go On: "Being with the band was a big experience to me, never being with a rock band before. I was able to pick a song that fits me, that's still rocky."

•Taylor Hicks, Crazy Little Thing Called Love: "You listen to a Queen song, it's really melodic and very powerful, and the dynamics (are) really cool."

this is from an article in usa today

hmmm... kinda glad i missed tonight's show then... i would hate to hear someone mangle any of Queen's music. nobody could do them justice like freddie mercury!

[keltic 1]

ace tried, but it just wasnt there

bucky is actually getting better as time goes on, but still not gonna outdo the others

chris is good, but i just felt... i dont know... bored, i suppose

elliott... this was his best performance so far... its a VERY tough song to do, and he nailed it... and he emotes the passion... hes not 'empty' or 'vacuous' like kellie... he actually feels what hes singing

katherine missed some notes and was also boring to watch

kellie was as vacuous as ever... and you can still actually see the counting and the choreography ticking thru her head while performing... and this french accent thing shes got going when she sings is driving me nuts... my 7 yr old daughter actually said "she doesnt look like a rocker and she tries to look like something shes not"...

paris looked like a little kid dressed up to look like tina turner... she has a powerful voice, but i just wasnt captured by her performance

taylor entertained... it was fun to watch him poppin around the stage... too bad he missed the microphone stand with his first kick... but i felt he covered it well and went right on... didnt phase him one bit

my 2 cents

an mp3 of taylors performance:
