Queen was pretty much frozen off of US Top 40 radio after the release of the "I Wand to Break Free" video in 1984 and associated press -- and did not have a single chart in the Top 40 from mid-1984 except for the reissue of Bohemian Rhapsody in 1991 -- and it charted on sales points. [Americans did not know anything about Coronation Street and the video led to a lot of press about Freddie being gay.]
I point this out because for people under 30 in the US, they have very limited knowledge of Queen and their music. For many, all they know is Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne World.

I am a huge Queen fan and Freddie was one of my favs, but I would love it if they allowed Adam to sing Bohemian Rhapsody vs. using the video.
