8... ryan asks if anyone will be able to live up to freddie mercury. well, we KNOW they won't, so why bring that up?
QUEEN! I LOVE THEM! we see the top 8 meet the queen, or what's left of them. I LOVE QUEEN!
1) bucky - "fat bottomed girls". GREAT SONG. and quite a good song choice for bucky. as i suspect will be the case for all the songs tonight, it wasn't as good as the original (duh), AND it was major fun! forget the comparisons for a second, and it was quite a good performance. me likey. and you could understand what he was singing. randy liked the energy, heard pitchiness, but liked it. paula rambles. simon liked the song choice, thought the song was bigger than him, and would classify it as mediocre.
COCA COLA! ace says it's intense.
2) ace - "we will rock you". brian may was nervous about ace's arrangement ideas, and admited he can't do that to his song. lol. and he was right. the arrangement was really bad. and he seemed behind the music for most of the song. he got into a bit towards the end, but overall it is yet another weak performance from ace. randy was worried, and ranked it about a 5 or a 6. yep. paula rambles. simon thought randy was generous, and that it was a complete and utter mess. "we will rock you gently". lol. he REALLY hated it. i don't think it was that bad. not good, but not THAT bad.
3) kellie - "bohemian rhapsody". what is the poor country girl doing? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! queen loves her. no pressure, as ryan said. kellie's turned into a biker chick! ah! the lighting was TERRIBLE at the start, trying to mimick bo's dream. the arrangement was kinda icky, and threw me off when it jumped from one part to another. again, not as good as the original, not as good as constance, not particulary good either, but fun. randy was worried, he loves the jacket, and thought she worked it out. paula rambles. simon calls her brave. he kinda agrees with randy and paula. he thinks it worked. he has a point, that people expected to suck, and it didn't. he also tried to explain what on paper means, and said "just, forget it". lol.
4) chris - "innuendo". queen thought chris is great. well, he's back to the harder rock. that's not entirely good. he still sounds great, and does a good job, but not a lot of "non-mainstream-nay-sayers" will like it. i did. didn't love it, but it was good. randy was expecting big things, and thinks chris delivered, not before reaking chris and paula out. paula's drunk, delusional, high and she rambles. simon says it's not a very good song. he thought it was the best so far, but thought he could have had a "moment" tonight, if he had chosen a better song. did chris steal ryan's beard?
5) katharine - "who wants to live forever". i LOVED her original song choice. a LOT more than her new one. i would have loved to see her run around the stage. :( again with the fancy lighting. and i was right. one of her absolut worst performances. not a clunker, per se, but she's so much better than that. not really good. randy thought it was a good idea to switch the song. NO. it was pitchy for him. paula rambles. simon thought it was almost the "moment". he thought it was one of the strongest tonight. did someone sip from paula's "water" bottle?
COCA COLA! elliot couldn't keep a job. he was a dj in a radio station. he looked high. and he gives us a taste of what it was like to listen to him.
6) elliot - "somebody to love". it was written with aretha in mind? i didn't know that... GREAT song choice. i think simon might call this the "moment". it was great. really, really good. that, and him being in the bottm 3 last week, he should be safe. REALLY great. actually, one of his best performances. not as good as freddie was on the song, OBVIOUSLY, but he still did a great job. paula's screaming. randy thought it was the hardest song to sing, heard some pitchy problems, but he loved him and thought it was really really good. paula rambles. simon thought overall he probably pulled it off.
7) taylor - "crazy little thing called love". he first thought doing we are the champions. but he wanted to do the spastic dancing, so he changed the song. his suit matched his hair. lol. LOL! he tried to kick the mic stand, missed, and then kicked it. LOL! the dancing's back! yay! the best PERFORMANCE of the night, by a mile, and the vocals were very good too. i LOVED it! randy's glad taylor's back, and thinks it was hot. paula rambles. simon asks if taylor's drunk, and he thought it was ridiculous. ryan says someone's drunk at the judges' table. well, duh...
8) paris - "the show must go on". brian said: "the things about paris, is that she's damn good". lol! did you see the crown on the belt? get it? queen? there were some wierd hand gestures. but damn, girl can SANG! vocally, probably the best tonight, but she jumped up and down at one point, and urged us to come one, so that hampered it, just a little, for me. randy thought she worked it out in the end. paula rambles. and she's drunk. and high. simon found it wierd. and that's it. lol.
