American Idol - April 11, 2006

As I expected, coming up with new interpretations of songs given iconic significance by Freddie Mercury was challenging, to say the least.

Based on the performances, I think Ace Young will get voted out this week. His was the least interesting of the performances.

Paris' performance to end the show both surprised me, and in the case of the song choice really moved me. To stqaqrt with her look was so much older than we've grown accustomed to in this 17-year old dynamo. The song (Show Must Go On) is one I took as a theme right after I was diagnosed with MS, so I got very emotional at a song with such meaning for me.
