Queen were superb in concert, seen them about 6 times, wouldn't go to see U2 if you paid me so it's all down to personal choice, that's why I don't see the point of the programme 
One they had the other week was top 20 divas, can't remember the order of people but it was very odd

And from then on, I always noticed the looks they gave him when he was on stage, even at Live Aid, they always looked embarrased by Freddy
They sort of knew they needed him, but wished he wasn't such a camp arsehole.
Well thats my analysis of Queen

I was amazed I actually guessed the number one for a change - usually it's something totally obscure!!!

Don't know why this reminded me, but I was watching the latest 'Have I got news for you', and they were saying Sir Alan Sugar was getting a bit of heat this week.

Wouldn't that make him Sir Caramel.
Honestly, the wit of that show puts Oz programmes like Spicks and Specks and Good News Week to shame.

I do miss HIGNFY but I've never got my head around downloading programmes and that's the only one I'd want. Hutch has tried to explain it to me a few times but it makes my brain hurt.

I'm finding I watch mostly UK shows now, they're just superior quality in every sense. Style, camera work, writing, humour, research

I loved Queen, and went to see them at Slane in Ireland.
I couldn't get over the fact the the other three looked mortified at what Freddie Mercury was doing.
And from then on, I always noticed the looks they gave him when he was on stage, even at Live Aid, they always looked embarrased by Freddy
They sort of knew they needed him, but wished he wasn't such a camp arsehole.

I've been to see Rolling Stones a couple of times - back in the early 80's and again in 2003 at the SARS benefit in Toronto. Thought they were meh both times. AC/DC were amazing at the SARS benefit, though. Would love to go see them again, but didn't get tickets this time around.

You should! I always download HIGNFY and it's sooo much funnier than the same kind of shows over here. They all seem so amateur!
where's his nomination eh??

But it was 'performers' which sounded to me that it was how good they are at performing. Whilst The Beatles and Paul Weller may be great song writers and singers they are/were not top performers. They actually do/did very little on stage. The likes of Robbie, Floyd, Queen etc really perform(ed).
