**American Idol Finals: Music of Queen

[revots33]

USA Today has the complete song list for tonight's show.

Kellie's doing Bohemian Rhapsody?! Will either be awesome or a total trainwreck. But she's so cute she'll get tons of votes either way.

Here are the Queen songs the Idol finalists will be singing — and their comments.

PREVIEW: Idols rock in Queen's Arena

•Ace Young, We Will Rock You: "I urbanized the verses a little, just by riding on (the notes). I put a little R&B soul on it. When we were done, they said, 'That sounds like a record.' "

•Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls: "Yes, we all love the fat-bottomed girls."

•Chris Daughtry, Innuendo: "It's a relatively unknown song. It just had a mixture of a dark feel and a positive message. And I just found out they've never performed this live."

•Elliott Yamin, Somebody to Love: "I was drawn to the passionate emotion of the song. I heard a lot of soul in it."

•Katharine McPhee, Who Wants to Live Forever: "How could (this) not be fun? We're working with so many different legends."

•Kellie Pickler, Bohemian Rhapsody: "We only have 1 minute and 30 seconds, and the song is really long. Having to cut so many pieces is really hard to memorize, because I'm not singing the song as it's originally played."

•Paris Bennett, The Show Must Go On: "Being with the band was a big experience to me, never being with a rock band before. I was able to pick a song that fits me, that's still rocky."

•Taylor Hicks, Crazy Little Thing Called Love: "You listen to a Queen song, it's really melodic and very powerful, and the dynamics (are) really cool."

I'm not a huge Taylor fan, but I think he has the potential to clean up with CLTCL...I wonder if the order listed is the performance order.

I predict total trainwreck for Bohemian Rhapsody and Who wants to live forever - should be funny - Taylor will rock with that song choice, Chris's song is really good however he may not do that well as no one knows this one

Paris goes home.

jason - it is in alphabetical order.

I bet USA today edited out like 4 or 5 "thank yous" from Paris' quote.

I am stoked about Taylor's song choice here and as a Pickler holder I am terrified.

man i was really hoping for princes of the universe. who wants to live forever is the next best thing.

This show has the potential to be a disaster. Covering songs by Queen will prove to be very difficult for many of the contestants. Based on the song selection above I think Taylor looks to have the big night.

[ajmargarine]

That's a good choice for Bucky, Fat Bottomed Girls.

Ace, We Will Rock You...I can't see that being anything other than a train wreck.

•Bucky Covington, Fat Bottomed Girls: "Yes, we all love the fat-bottomed girls."

If we all loved fat bottomed girls, Mandisa would still be on (weep)
