My Weekly Television Plug

Yeah, I seem to plug a television show each week but it seems that every week there is one show that just blows my mind.

This week, like many, Canadian Idol blew my mind. I don't recall either the Canadian Idol or American Idol shows ever paying tribute to one of the most legendary rock bands of the world before but these week, Canadian Idol performed the songs of the incomparable Queen.

I can honestly say that I'm a Queen fan. I think every is to some extent, even if it's just to shout "We Will Rock You" at an opposing sports team. We all are moved by Queen somehow. But I actually own Cd's, I always have their greatest hits on my MP3 player, and I still remember crying in 1991 when I heard that Freddie Mercury died. I even own the orchestral score for Bohemian Rhapsody.

Well, tonight, Canada's youngest, brightest up an comers performed a whole night of tribute to one of the greatest British rock bands of all time and let me tell, it blew me away. And this week, it seemed the guys completely outshone the gals. The girls did great job, but the guys just seemed to have some little extra umph (with the exception of Carly Rae who just is in her own little amazing world each week).

So there's my plug, now I shall fall asleep with visions of bicycles and fat bottomed girls in my head...
