Just like, although I love what Simon Cowell has achieved with his shows, I hate the karaoke, ghastly interpretations his "stars" come up with and their complete lack of musical ability, so I loathe the plastic, proficient, amateur, lifeless American interpretations - no, pale copies - of past great tracks.

Their Somebody To Love would have had Freddie turning in his grave. Not because it was bad; it wasn't; it was excellent if you like spot on, efficient, slick American presentation. Not a note off key, not a dance step out of time.

But original? Clever? Talented? Creative? Not for one awful spotless second.

It's like being adored by a corpse. In music today, the zombies have taken over. And I don't mean the brilliant Zombies (we publish them).

Its like "Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers". They grow the cast members of these programmes in the same pods that they grow snooker players!!!
