Kajstring24 speculates, “Freddie Mercury is trending, so one of 2 things could have happened. 1: he’s died. 2: he’s signed for Portsmouth.”
Well, it’s neither of those … I’ll let trudiescojesus explain, “Adam Lambert Praises Freddie Mercury, Says Music Today Lacks Flamboyant Male”
Ah, I see, so an American Idol contestant looks up to a real rockstar … hold the front page! I thought silly season was meant to be over?
Nevertheless, the trend has attracted many a witticism, including stenotype’s classic, “The late Freddie Mercury trending on Twitter. A Kind of Magic, eh?” Very good, well done.
And Paulsamityville sums it up for me, by stating, “Freddie Mercury is trending good finally someone who was immensely talented is getting talked about.”
Elsewhere, Priority Inbox is trending hard after Googleshow off their new email system … and by the sounds of things, it’s rather good.
Mashable say, “Gmail Priority Inbox Launches: Your E-mail Will Never Be the Same” and a similar sentiment from TechCrunch who tweet, “Gmail Priority Inbox Sorts Your Email For You. And It’s Fantastic.”
Scottschulthess pitches in with an excitable, “priority inbox is the new hotness” and tbrown sums things up by stating, “Gmail’s new Priority Inbox is awesome”
Great, well I’m glad that’s all sorted out.
Finally, a bit of sport for you as Carlton Cole hits the micro-blogging headlines with the news that “West Ham are considering an offer from Liverpool for Carlton Cole” … thanks to SkySportsLive for that.
Kingkenny_7 muses, “Having Carlton Cole as back up for Fernando Torres is like Brad Pitt having Anne Robinson as back up for Angelina Jolie.” And Liverpool_FC say, “Whoa there.. Ryan Babel + money for Carlton Cole?! Has Roy built up some big gangster debts in London he’s paying off?”
However, Rajkaria is sceptical about the whole business, tweeting, “Carlton Cole to Liverpool unlikely. Approach dismissed by West Ham United.
Queen’s legendary concert will reportedly be streamed for two days beginning Monday on the band’s YouTube page, the show dates back to July 1986 when Queen played London’s Wembley arena for two back to back shows.
.Mercury of the legendary band Queen, passed away in 1991, at the age of 45, of a complication of AIDS. Mercury denied his illness to the press for many years, only offering a statement a day before he passed
away. His statement reportedly read:
“Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with me, my doctors, and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease. My privacy has always been very special to me and I am famous for my lack of interviews. Please understand this policy will continue.”
The band Queen first formed in 1971 in London. The band included Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon and Roger Taylor. With their release of albums Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera, they would become a household name around the globe and go on to release 18 number one albums and 18 number one singles. Some of their best known songs include “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” from News of the World.
The One and Only QUEEN Is Back on September 5th
All hail Queen.
The compulsion to express one’s need to be understood is what propels the performer. Through masks, costumes, and characters, the stage becomes a magic carpet on which dreams become realities and realities become dreams. Or as Michael Jackson sang, “the lie becomes the truth”. Which is the philosophy behind KATWALK. And Freddie Mercury embodied this.
Freddie Mercury, who would have turned 65 this September, influenced every stage drama Queen of today. And with the release of Queen’s 5 last albums this September, we’re compelled to put things in perspective.
When artists postulate on their harsh struggles (respect), recall the late and great singer-performer-songwriter Freddie Mercury, whose journey began when he was born a Parsi, Zorastrian in Zanzibar, Tanzania, moving to India then England as a teenager, and alas died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS 1991, one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.And in between became arguable the greatest rock singer, songwriter and performer of all time
