I will start by saying that Queen is one of a kind, great, and one of the best in the history of rock. I love them and always have. But when you agree to work with AI contestants, should you be so set in your own ways that you repeatedly till one of the contestants things like......NO, I cant do my song like that, NO, I will not play my music like that. Aren't they there to help the singers? I didnt notice any other artist who were invited on AI say anything like that. One even helped Chris when he wanted to "rock" a song.

Queen has every right to have standards in regards to their music, but if they feel that strong about changes, then should agree to be on the show?

I didn't understand that, either... The point we keep hearing over and over from the judges is to "make that song your own!" How can they do that if the band refuses to help them by altering a song sometimes?

Not sure if Queen is my all time fave band... I'd say more along the lines of Metallica and Pink Floyd for me.

If we're voting I'll take Floyd. But there is no denying that most critics would rank Queen right up there with the all time great rock bands so I can certainly understand the band's reluctance to change their arrangement on a classic like "We are the Champions" for a wannabee like Ace.

That would be like asking DaVinci if he wouldn't mind repainting the Mona Lisa and making her smile more. :)

Oh, yeah, we can't forget great faves like Guns-N-Roses or Bon Jovi, either.
