I have been watching the Adam, Kris, Queen finale of WATC. I am such a naive fool. Obviously, there is no way that the Idol producers found out a week from the finale that Adam would be in the final two and reached out to Queen to perform. "Oh, BTW, if you are not doing anything oh, say, six days from now, would you like to come on our little TV reality show in LA and play WATC with our two finalists? One is a really good rocker." "Gee, thanks for thinking of us. Hmmm, six days from now? Gee, my calendar looks free. And performing on a reality show has always been a dream of mine. Sure. Sign me up."

If there was ever definitive proof that these results were engineered, it has to be getting Kiss and Queen on the show with less than a week's lead time. Not complaining, mind you. It was fantastic entertainment. And, thank God, Idol hooked up Adam and Queen.

But, I have to say I have a strong suspicion I was manipulated and tricked by AI. Quelle suprise!

Really does not look like any manipulation in the AI8 finale.

They knew who was going to be in the final for weeks in advance -- so no need to rig the vote to book KISS. Plus KISS was there to promote their upcoming tour. (Announced in April 2009 before the finale, started in September 2009.) Adam was the only contestant they could put with KISS. (Can you imagine KISS with Gokey?)

The Idol exec producer, Ken Warrick, the person ultimately responsible for booking the artists for the finale, knew the weekly votes and they were probably pretty sure who the final two were going to be at least a few weeks in advance. (And they probably also could tell that the Southerner was going to win.)

But my bet is QUEEN was booked weeks in advance and the staging of the performance was figured out in the final week. If I recall correctly, Kris and Adam learned they were singing with QUEEN a couple days before the final.

Sometime for 6:00PM ET to 10:00PM ET tonight but I do not believe they release the show schedule -- just that he will be on one of the two Ask Anything segments tonight.

Just finished watching the documentary on Queen. Never been a Queen fan. Wasn't interested. But this is brilliantly and sensitively done, and a well spent 2 hours.

I totally "get" why Roger and Brian want to do Sonisphere.

1. To again do a huge festival/stadium concert. There cannot be anything to come close to the adrenaline rush, the pure joy, of creating music for a massive live audience and to feel the psychic energy produced and shared. It's been 20 years since Freddie has been gone, and I don't think they have ever felt that electricity again. But, as musicians, of course they want to feel it one more time. It's a most potent narcotic.

2. To be able to pay tribute to Freddie some twenty years after his passing. To make his and their music live again. To affirm life goes on and music is eternal.

3. To have found someone, finally, to front the band who can totally, completely, utterly handle the repertoire of great songs, and who embodies the massive stage presence that Freddie had. Who can perform the songs like they need to be performed. And who gels so comfortably with the band. Truly, it must be a dream come true for them, after many years. I can imagine that, for them, after the EMA performance, to realize that someone can embody the energy and the magic that was Freddie must have been an incredible joy. An experience they never expected to have again in their lives.

4. To have endured seeing your close friend and band member become more and more ill, to know he was dying, and to realize he will never sing like before. To write TSMGO, knowing Freddie will never perform it to it's full potential. Then, twenty years later, to have someone sing it live as you have always envisioned it. And to have it performed by an exceptional artist who was inspired and shaped by Freddie vocally and stylistically. Adam is Freddie's legacy to the music world.

Hell, yeah!!! Seize the day! Make it yours! Thank goodness for AI, for their unintentional genius in introducing Adam to Queen. Yes, it is a dream come true for Adam, but, it is also, maybe even more so, a dream come true for Brian and Roger. My secret hope is that they might entice Deacon to join them to recapture and experience that unique magic they shared with Freddie.

Forget about the pay check. Forget about the PR. Forget, even, what the Queen fans or the Adam fans want. Roger and Brian deserve this moment. I can't wait.

This is exactly what I thought after watching the documentry. Thanks for expressing my feelings in such an eloquent way

Does anyone know if there's another version? It's blocked for me on copyright reasons.

Thanks!
