Oh good! I was hoping she’d go out with some Zep!

Sing it, girl!

[EmilyGeiger]

:( I am going to miss Elise. She @ least performed my favorite song she did early on.

[Netizen]

LOL! She looked like a bobble head!

As opposed to...

[Netizen]

Yes, glad she left on that note. She left with a bang, not a whimper.

I think he entered a contest sounding like Freddy & that’s how they found him.

You're right. Google says the singer's name is Marc Martel.

The audition process involved two video audition rounds: the first round judged by Roger Taylor and a panel of appointed judges, the second round judged by public vote. Taylor was present to judge the final audition round, which was held live in Los Angeles December 5.

Was this a show? If not, why not? LOL, I would have watched that instead of X Factor.

Hi, Shelayne!

Sorry you're not feeling well :-|

[silent_jonny]

I stand corrected. Looks like DialIdol had it about right after all.

[38special]

I liked what she said about meeting the others wouldn’t have happened in her life without AI. It was a nice thing to say.

[silent_jonny]

Is that Freddy’s son? He’s got the same mouth/teeth.

That's what I was thinking too. But his resemblance is just a strange coincidence.

Google says Mercury had no biological children (which kind of figures, lol)

[stylecouncilor]

He sounds just like him in those YouTube videos wow!!

[silent_jonny]

hmmm is right. Just before 10 last night. I don’t recall anyhting BAD.

And it doesn't look like anyone responded to whatever was there.

If it was bad, I'm glad the mods removed it quickly.

[dfwgator]

When I saw the movie “Hugo”, I saw how much Sacha Baron Cohen resembled Freddy, it’s no wonder he was tapped to play Freddy in the movie biopic.

[silent_jonny]

What made them go off on him?

The Nuge was leaving someplace and a TMZ camera crew was there to ask him questions. They were polite. They asked him if he saw Obama on the Fallon show the other night. He said no he missed that, "but I'm a big fan of both." (grins)

Cut to Harvy Levin in the TMZ studio. A black guy--I think the only black guy there--said he had a "seething hatred" for Nugent.

Why, no one asked.

Levin said it must be killing Nugent to have a black man criticize him. (because anyone that doesn't like Obama is, of course, a racist) The black guy, flipped his hat backward and began reading the rest of the Nugent report in slow-jam ebonics, all to the delight of the TMZ room.

I muted the TV until the show was over.

[silent_jonny]

Between the Ford video and the TMZ crap, that was a whole lot of time wasting.

Definitely. And they still managed to squeeze in three different performances and Elise's Led Zeppelin encore.

Remember when the results show was just 30 mintues? LOL

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Mark!

[silent_jonny]

I don’t remember Stefano.

I don't either. I thought maybe he was from a few seasons back, not last season.

[silent_jonny]

Hi, Vandella! :)

[Netizen]

Sounds like a stupid episode. Bet Nugent laughed afterwards at the idiocy.

[silent_jonny]

Oh dear. Casey looks like a garden gnome or the gold miner in any random old west movie. I would give him $50 to say, “There’s gold in them thar hills!!”

HAHAHAHA!!

He could be the next Arthur Hunnicutt :)

[silent_jonny]

LMAO Gabby Hayes

LOL--even better.

"Dagnabbit! Why won't Haley return my calls?"
