He's been called the finest performer of the 20th century, the best showman of all time and Mr. Entertainment himself, but these descriptions only go part of the way in representing the extraordinary talents of Freddie Mercury. How about unique songwriter? Gifted bandleader? Superb vocalist? Smart and canny business man? Freddie was all these and more and in this documentary film his genius is put under the spotlight.

Video: ICYMI: Clay Aiken;s Display of Uber-Heterosexuality

Best Week Ever — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0500

There are certain readers of this blog, let;s call them "Claymaniacs" for lack of a better term, who get very angry with us whenever we even implicity call into question the sexual preferences of their beloved almost-Idol, Clay Aiken. They leave comment after comment, incredulous as to how we could possibly get these wacky ideas that Clay is anything but the paradigm of woman-loving masculinity. Well, to those people, we submit this video, possibly the gayest thing I;ve ever seen outside of cutoff denim shorts and military boots. I mean, Ryan Seacrest is the straightest thing happening on that stage, if that tells you anything. Enjoy this performance of a song made famous by Elton John, George Michael and Freddie Mercury - as sung by Clay Aiken and his loving male counterpart:

How I have gone my entire life without ever seeing the following Queen video for their 1991 song "I;m Going Slightly Mad" is beyond me. It is... AMAZING. It;s like the 4 minute version of Ed Wood. And while the song itself certainly has more depressing undertones (this was the last video lead singer Freddie Mercury created before passing away from the AIDS virus at 45), it also featured Elton John in a Gorilla Suit and Mercury in a banana wig. So apologies if this video is old news to some of you, but as I had never seen it, and as my mind was officially blown, I just had to delivery it to those of you who had never witnessed its brilliance. Couldn;t we all use a little more Freddie Mercury in our lives?
