I met Mr. Constantine at the mall! He is so nice =w= I got his autograph too! (god knows where it is... o.o) I think he's a great singer, I mean I know once a song is sang it can never be sang the same or as good as the original but if you get past that... he's AWESOME :o
I must say that this performance caused me to really appreciate Constantine as a performer! I think it was one of the best tributes to F.M. I have ever seen. Nobody will ever replace Freddie, but this was a very nice rendition in my eyes and keeps that classic ballad alive! Thank you Constantine!!
pitiful...props for attempting it on a grand stage like american idol, but that song is impossible to re-create. Freddie made it amazing, an absolute one of a kind song, that can't ever be touched..
Gave me chills the first time I heard it and still has the same effect six years later! Absolutely the best.. I guess Queen felt the same way since he was asked by Brian May to sing this on Queen's Tribute album.
well, I'd be one of the first to say this wasn't one of his best performances but he can sing, I mean come on the guy has been on Broadway and won a Tony, Constantine ROCKS
I remember when he got voted off the show and I seriously started crying. hah. but now that i look back its like wow...i think i just had weird taste back then and i wasnt paying much attention to his singing :D but he's still great :D
5 years later and I still get goosebumps hearing him sing this! So talented! There's been those who have tried but none who have outdone him on on this one! Rock on Constantine! You're the best Idol has ever discovered.
@Gawainster my aspiration is not to be a singer whoever i can actually sing. he cannot i watched this video because i remember him and i thought her couldnt sing so i watched it again just to see if maybe i was wrong and i wasnt im not hating in my opinion he cannot sing. u may like the way he sings but i dont, buh bye
Damn what a season the best American idol season ever!
Beats this stupid season there is no one good, and the judges keep getting worse and worse Kara and Ellen yuck! And Simon is leaving NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! The show is DONE
There will never be another Constantine on American Idol. Here it is 5 seasons later and it still give me chills when I watch this performance. Constantine, you will always be my American Idol.
ohh myy godd he is amazeingg and i saw Rock of Ages it is THE best show I've ever seen and i MET HIMM!! i almost diedd!! and he gave me the card for his show wensday night A night at a Rock Show he is the nicest guy ever i ♥ him love love love love love him!!♥♥ btw if you see this i was the girl on the 18th going over done with the lighter =) hhehe i LOVE HIM!♥
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have heard better. I think many people are just in love with his look. Im glad that Carrie won! She is my favorite Idol, then there is Chris Daughtry! They are my favorite people to ever sing on American Idol! (so far)
He is awesome. A singer with real talent. If you are in New York he is playing Rock of Ages on broadway, and a new show at Highline Ballroom. Its called A Night At The Rock Show, It's gonna be rad
Really, oh wise one? I used to think they shortened the songs so they can fit all those performances in a one hour show. But you're absolutely correct, they do it because people are too impatient to listen to music.
It's because they can't fit the judges critiques into the timeslot unless the songs are 2 minutes.
Also, this encourages the contestants to do their OWN take on a song instead of KARAOKE, since the point of the show is to showcase themselves as artists in the CONTEXT of old songs.
Therefore, the more inflexible old-timers are not the audience, and will not be pleased by the show.
i didn´t even bother to watch american idol past seasons but this maroulis guy has that freddie kind of voice, it sound almost like freddie i have to admit
If I were Freddy Mercury I would have been proud of this guy for singing it perfectly and it would have been awesome if they did the whole guitar solo and Brian May came out.
Brian May certainly didn't seem to consider Adam Lambert on AI an "insignificant thing!" And Constantine wasn't either - he was just before his time. He was he the best male singer EVER on AI - until Adam!
I saw that performance by MJ, but wasn't a really big fan of his so I think Constantine was better... I probably would have melted if ♥Bo♥ sang it though
Congrats on the Tony nomination Constantine!! He was always one of my favorites. i was so bummed when he was kicked off so soon. But now he has a freakin Tony nomination for best leading actor in a musical for the show Rock of Ages!
He may be a good singer, but I always end up comparing these people to the original artists. Freddy forever :P
