By Jamie on his facebook

.

A bit odd with Shakira and The X Factor Finalists performing.

Brigon · 09-11-2009, 21:31

I hope someone does "Princes of the Universe", but I won't expect it.

lmcd08 · 09-11-2009, 21:38

Queen week? could it get any worse!

so much for 'current' acts then

Menk · 09-11-2009, 21:55

It's going to be a difficult week - Freddie Mercury is an incomparable vocalist, so they're all going to struggle. I can only see one of them doing ok.

Looks like it's going to be Danyl's week then.

Annie Apple · 09-11-2009, 21:56

Even on their best days there isn't one of them who could even be quarter as good as Freddie on his worst days.

I'm a big Queen fan so I don't know if I'll be able to watch on Saturday because I feel quite protective of a lot of the classic tracks.

Hope my first post has made sense.

bluerose15 · 09-11-2009, 21:57

Well thats the over 25's and joe doing well

Mind you i think joe can do most things lol

And thats Stacey maybe struggling and lloyd leaving.

oh and J + E doing god knows what...

lulu g · 09-11-2009, 21:58

Aargh, no! Not Queen!

River_Tam · 09-11-2009, 21:59

John & Edward should do "Flash Gordon"
With costumes, it would be epic!

From one big Queen fan to another, your first post made perfect sense.
As a Roy Orbison fan I was ashamed to see Afro man murder one of the greatest songs ever written with his dire rendition of 'Crying' but I hate to imagine what tripe they are going to come out with.
I am gonna have to watch it though, just for the sake of it.
It has to be said, every week Al Murray had PROFESSIONALS covering Queen songs, and only a tiny handful of those were any good.

dbx125 · 09-11-2009, 22:05

OMG yes...i love Queen more than anyone...Please SImon...get Roger and Brian to make an appearance!"!!

Excellent. Queen should really push the contestants. Big band, big songs. A fine choice. Even the X Factor boycotters will be tuning in.

Yeah, they were good but they're not Queen, are they?

I agree it should challenge most of them what a week wow Queen songs. I will be singing along regardless.

tenchgirl · 09-11-2009, 22:09

im a huge fan too but you have to draw the line at them murdering queen songs, not one of them has the range. Its a bloody insult.

Joanne MA · 09-11-2009, 22:12

I hate Queen's music so won't be watching this week. Hope John and Edward go through though!

How strange. To hate Queen's music is to hate music itself

Debateable...

Menk · 09-11-2009, 22:23

Poor, poor Lloyd - he's really going to struggle. I suppose he could do 'We will rock you' and try the back-flip again..

oathy · 09-11-2009, 22:24

Any bets how many times he changes the song for Jamie before the weekend?

Come on...Queen are a British institution. They are the best rockers on the planet...but then they go the extra mile and bring versatility and charm to every song.

neelia · 09-11-2009, 22:27

On seeing the title I was imaging 7 versions of the national anthem

Annie Apple · 09-11-2009, 22:28

I shudder to think about Stacey's and Lloyd's efforts.
I cannot think of one track that either of them could tackle and the less said about the twins the better.
