Idol Thoughts - Top 8 "Queen"

Well, well, well…another evening of themed Idol….only tonight it’s “Queen”, one of the biggest bands ever from the 80’s…the songs of Freddie Mercury will ebb from the microphones of the Idol’s tonight…or ebbing is what I would like to call it…LOL…from my “source” it was an okay night, nothing earthshattering and the same ole same ole from Simon…so here we go…Queen and Idol…there is a Simonism in there somewhere…

   Bucky up first tonight…well better than last week, not sure I’m a fan of the look though..it’s cross Jessica Simpson biker chick/Constantine….great energy from him tonight, solid uptempo…Ace in the #2 slot tonight…a “We Will Rock You” hybrid…I see Chris doing this song a Ace is performing it…strange..doesn’t fit him well, but he did an okay job with it..used his falsetto at the end..nice…the hybrid part was nice..and risky..seemed like running mascara..a. “Justinism”…LOL..Kellie with Bohemian Rhapsody…in 90 seconds…hmmm…she’s gone “Rocker” chick…great crowd play and sounds pretty on pitch…well, best of the night so far..don’t really think that’s saying much though…well, Simon said she did good…must be something he’s drinking tonight…Chris Daughtry at 4…performing a song that “Queen” never performed live…hmmm….Chris is the most “Freddiesque” performer of anyone this season on Idol and he did a decent job…Simon brought up a very valid point….he may say a lot, but he does tend to make sense when he NEEDS to…Katherine…”Who Wants To Live Forever”…standing, singing and simple…girl singing with some emotion and hitting all her notes…major risk, not a lot of percussion just her voice…nice job…Elliott…doing a song that he has never heard before till this week…hmmm…”Somebody to Love”…the backup for Elliott was a tad much, arrangement, etc. It took away from his voice. What I did hear was solid…he chose the right song for sure…Taylor doing a ballad…(changed his song)…”Crazy Little Thing Called Love”…he gets to dance….not sure if I like that idea…not so sure the mic stand thing worked…Taylor havin’ some fun with the crowd and uh…it was definitely entertaining…..Paris does the wrap…”Show Must Go On”…Paris is an old soul in a little body….of everyone tonight Paris gets my vote for “Best Hair” and vocally she was one of the strongest of the night…

   It’s starting to get hard to pick a bottom three because we all tend to have our favorites and like all of them, for the most part. Bottom Three: Bucky, Taylor, Ace…Home is between Bucky and Ace….
