American Idol 5: Next will be Queen night.

I am stoked!

Published on April 6, 2006 By Jamie Burnside In Entertainment

At the end of last night's Results' Show, Ryan announced that next week's theme will be "The Songs of Queen". Wow! What a great theme! There are so many good/ fun/ entertaining songs to choose from.

That said: there are a few Queen songs that are simply dangerous to sing. Here are some of my thoughts on song choice for next week's theme show.

Good Queen songs to pick:

Crazy Little Thing
Killer Queen
Breakthrough
Love of my Life
Don't Stop Me Now
Tie Your Mother Down (maybe too ambitious. If I were a contestant, I would insist on ringing a gong at the beginning.)

Queen songs to stay away from:

Stone Cold Crazy
Bohemian Rhapsody
Bicycle Race
We are the Champions
Flash
Under Pressure
I Want to Break Free (especially not Ace!)

I doubt that anyone would bother with Bohemian Rhapsody. (Actually someone probably will, but shouldn't!) Queen didn't usually even bother with that song in concert. (Constantine didn't do such a good job with that song last year, regardless of what the judges said. . .)

I'd LOVE it if someone tried to sing "Mustafa"!!

I would LOVE for someone to have the stones to comeout and start with:

Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Ah, down beside that red firelight;
Are you gonna let it all hang out?

I think that the best would be if someone tried to do the theme from the Flash Gordon movie . . . now THAT is classic Queen. I do think it would be cute to see Kellie sing "Another One Bites the Dust", though . . . that girl is gorgeous . . . sign me up!
