American Idol playlist for tonight **spoilers**
On the radio this morning I heard the playlist for tonight's AI Queen show. Now, I don't know if this is accurate or not, but if true, promises to be ... well, heh heh heh!

Here are the ones I remember:

Ace: We Will Rock You
Taylor: Silly Little Thing Called Love
Bucky: Fat Bottomed Girls

and best of all

Kelly: Bohemian Rhapsody

After that announcement I was laughing so hard I didn't hear the others!

That loud, thumping noise heard worldwide tonight will, no doubt, be Freddy Mercury spinning in his grave.

1. You're My Best Friend is likely to get done
And we are the champions

I think Chris should do Killer Queen

2. Is Queen actually backing them up?
Last week they showed clips of the surviving members working with the contestants.

4. This is going to be a bloodbath
I think the "Queen" night is stupid, personally. The songs are too tailored to one specific person.

Oi... this will be good... in a really bad way...

11. Agree. Don't be messin' with my Queen!
They.are.going.to.torture.those.songs.

Though Constantine pulled off Bohemian Rhapsody really well last season.

7. This week is going to be one fantastic train wreck
What's classic is that the only contestants that can possibly get through this without totally self-destructing haven't done themselves any favors with their song choice.

Taylor picks a song that's been so done to death that he's not going to be able to put any individual stamp on it.

Chris picks an obscure song that's not going to resonate with the viewers and which may even turn them off depending on how he performs it.



It's definitely going to be a show for the ages tonight.

9. I think they should do a week of Beatles songs
Now, THAT could be interesting.

12. Make them get creative
Have them all do the same song, "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. But they have to do that song differently, in their own style.

17. There was some rumor of Paul McCartney being a guest on Season 3, but
it never came true and from what I heard, they can't get permission to use any of the Beatles' songs on AI. I think if they would do a Beatles night it could be tremendously exciting. But they would need the right cast - this year's cast isn't up to the task.

Constantine's last year! You never know, she might do well!!

14. She'll do it country because she's a one-note performer
Country is all the girl can do. I like country music, but this is suppose to be about pop music, not country, dammit.

15. Yeah, but they all have their style.
Taylor- soul
Chris- rock
Katherine- bluesy
They all sound better singing a certain style of music, but she may do well. She might surprise you. And one could argue that country is "pop" in a sense. It has gained a lot of popularity in recent years with singers like Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, and KEith Urban, etc. I am not a big fan of country myself, but I am just sayin'.

19. Freddie started to spin when they brought Paul Rodgers to sing for Queen
hell at this point his dead body could probably almost be considered an unground missle!
