Now THAT'S rocking!!! Incredibly good considering he was taking on a song made a legend by the legendary Freddy Mercury and he pulled it off THAT well! That's why I've loved this guy from the beginning!! ;)

Vonzelle was great too! :D

I thought so, too!!! Even Simon liked it!!!

:lol: I missed Simon's critic cuz I ran to the computer to post this!! :lol:
I'll watch it again on the westcoast feed at midnight. I was so excited, that I posted on the wrong board - I guess it should be under reality!! :lol: :crazy:

Boy - if I were several years younger, I'd be that guy's groupie!! He reminds me of a young Robert Plant in his looks and style! :D

Yeah, I've liked him ever since I saw his audition.

That performance made me come out of the closet as a Connie fan.

OMG. I SCREAMED when I saw he was singing Queen. OH MY GOD. BEST PERFORMANCE EVER.

That REALLY took guts! It's like when the girls try to do Whitney and they criticize them for taking on something waaaaayyy above their abilities - he sure proved that theory can be broken!!

Please guys - do me a big favor tonight? I can't vote cuz I'm Canadian, but PLLLLLEEEEEASE go nuts on his number for me??? Will ya huh? I'll owe you big time (maybe send down a bottle of geniune maple syrup or something! :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I'm not even a Constantine fan, but that was amazing.

I'm ODing on this song. I love him so much.

Dammit, I missed it! What did he sing?

Bohemian Rapsody!!!!!! I'm just about to see it again on the westcoast feed!! Its good to have full satellite for performances like this!!!

He rocked the house down!!:rock:

Just watched it again and seriously, I got goosebumps!!!! Even Simon called it "Astonishing!".

Please - anybody out there in a voting position, who wants him too, please add some votes in for me!! I can't vote and its killing me! I've loved him from his first audition and he's coming along even better than I thought he would!! :rock: :eyes: :heart:

WHAT?????? Did I just hear Seacrest say that they're NOT toll-free numbers? WTF??!! Bummer - o.k. - don't blame ya for not voting for me. :(

Me, when I saw what song he'd be singing come up on the screen: :eek:

Me, when he started singing: :eyes:

Me, throughout the whole song: :eek2:

Me, by the end of the song: :clap: :notworthy :eek2: :eek: :clap:

Basically, I thought he was absolutely amazing and I love him more than ever this week. Bohemian Rhapsody is officially my favorite performance of the season.

SAME HERE!! That was my reaction exactly!! When I heard, right away I thought whoa - watch out here.....and then.......WOW - that's all I can keep saying! That should be on the CD or whatever when it comes out!! :heart:

performance 10
vocals 7

WHAT?????? Did I just hear Seacrest say that they're NOT toll-free numbers? :(

Yes, they're toll free. They're 866 #'s, not 800 #'s.

I was wondering how he was going to attempt the high operatic part...and he didn't...no one can do that like Freddie...but what he did was great!

Oh o.k. - I just caught the end of what he was saying. Yeah, now I remember when some poor dude was getting all the calls on his 800 # last year!! :lol:

I wondered about that part too, but most of the songs are shortened versions, so it makes sense to cut that out. Even Queen had to do a lot of over-dubbing on the album to get that to work right. I'd like to see him try it in a recording studio (although he still doesn't have the vocal range that Freddie did - not many people do)!

I'd be more generous than Randy - performance 10, vocals 8.5 (he did have a bit of trouble with the high range at the beginning, but after that, who cares if a couple of notes were "pitchy" - its rock - that's the way vocals are done in rock)!

I'll bet there's huge buzz about him today!
