Come on, admit it. C-lebrity is a horrible song. The music itself pales in comparison to, say, The Prophet's Song and the lyrics are absolutely piss poor - such as "I want to get my features in magazines See this creature on every screen Write my life story before I'm 21 I got to tell the world They might say I'm dumb, but But I ain't got nothin', no nothin' to show Think me a celebrity..." Jesus Christ. Piss poor lyrics, I tell you. Ok, don't get me wrong - when what's left of Queen teamed up with Paul Rodgers and went on tour, I was terribly excited. I saw them as many times as I could afford and loved every concert. However, what they appear to be turning into kind of steers me away from my once rabid enthusiasm.C-lebrity, both the spelling of and the song itself is a little sell outish, don't you think? |

Just to throw in another two cents, I do realize that Brian and Roger are trying to appeal to a different demographic and attempting to be fresh and new. I really hope that they keep some of the signature Queen sounds and feel throughout the rest of the album, as C-lebrity was devoid of neither the feel nor sound of Queen. |

To be honest for me quite lot of Queen lyrics are really simple. But together with the music they set to them, they sound really important. Ex: "sometimes i feel i'm gonna break down and cry, nowhere to go nothing to do with my time, i get lonely" "i don't want to sleep with you, i don't need the passion too, all i need is to know that my woman brings me sweet mother love" "so love me like there's no tomorrow, take me in your arms, tell me you mean it, this is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over, but today just love me like there's no tomorrow" "friends will be friends, when you're in need of care, to give you love and attention" And also i see this song not as the message "look we're QUeen with PR and we want be noticed like a brand new cool band", for me it's just the topic they've chosen to tackle, and i think they're appealing to the young audience-"write my life story before i'm 21". |

The song's about the new generation of celebrities who'll do anything to get on television or generally become famous. "Ain't got no hope Got no idea what to do Or why i'm here Want to get my face on your T.V I want to be heard I want to be seen I ain't got nothin' no,nothin',nothin' to show" If anything it's making fun of celebrity, not embracing it or being "sell outish" at all. Do we know if Roger wrote this? It has the same vibe as something like "Nation of Haircuts" on "Electric Fire" |
mrjordy 08.04.2008 18:39 |
According to the Queenpedia, Roger wrote the song. |

Not every song on every album is going to be "The Prophet's Song". That's an unfair and unrealistic comparison and you know it. Judge the work when you hear the album in its totality. "The Prophet's Song" was on the same album as "I'm in Love with My Car" and those certainly don't compare well either, but they both have their own merit. Jesus Christ. Piss poor lyrics, I tell you.

C-lebrity, both the spelling of and the song itself is a little sell outish, don't you think?"Sell-outish"? No, don't think so. Its precisely the kind of song I would expect Roger Taylor to write, its a fun catchy pop song along the lines of "I Want to Break Free" and "A Kind of Magic" that later-period Queen were good at, and I think the lyrics are quite cheeky and clever. So there. Piss poor commentary, I tell you. Jesus Christ, indeed. |

Of course its going to suck, no freddie. Freddie had a MAJOR impact on the songs and changed them here and there. Also the song is guitar based which means its not going to be that good. Most real good songs are piano/synth based and THEN they put guitar on it later on. |
Breakthru_Sep 09.04.2008 04:15 |
Although I love every single RT solo album, I felt C-lebrity should have been on one, rather than a Queen album. Except for a few demos here and there that didn't make it to an album, every single Queen song I've listened to or heard was melodic. Especially the vocal melody was great for each song. IMO C-lebrity fails in this fashion. I don't care if Queen takes on a completely different style, but I'd hate to see them lose their sense of quality... I'm sure the still unnamed album contains much better songs than C... |

All the respect to john, roger and brian but without freddie Queen would have NEVER got big and you can clearly see that when the others in the band try to do something without him how it turns out. Im not saying they make bad songs but freddie took the songs to a whole another level with his rearranging and new ideas to the songs plus his inhuman voice and singing. |

Borhap80 09.04.2008 13:10 |
I'm in that opinion that Freddie was a great musician, frontman and singer. But he as other human beings made mistakes. The "Mr Bad Guy" album is of course very dated soundwise, but the tracks are not impressing to say the least. To be honest I can barely listen to the album, and can't understand how it got through is "quality" control. The quality is mediocre. I think it has to do with his attitude change concerning music, which really came across during the eighties, with quotes as: "Well, I'm a bit surprised, yes, because only from my point of view I just write songs I think should be basically... It's fodder. I told you that before, I just want them to listen. 'Cause I think songs are like, you know, they're like buying a new dress of shirt, you just wear it and then you discard it. I mean people always write new songs. I think, OK a certain few classics will always remain but as far as I'm concerned I write songs[...] or maybe: "I think Queen songs are pure escapism, like going to see a good film - after that, they can go away and say that was great, and go back to their problems. I don't want to change the world with our music." His attitude was more businesslike in the 80s, and he often used "sausages" and "commodities" as metaphors for his songs. It was his job, and to me it seems like his "art side of music" had disappeared (if a such thing exists) --> My point is that, maybe Freddie was a "genious" songwriter in the 70s, but not in the 80s I'm afraid (apart from Barcelona?). If it hadn't been for Brian, Roger and John the 80s could've been a lot darker for Queen (concerning songwriting. He was the best frontman during that decade. And I know that Fred was involved in GaGa and Magic, but the original ideas came from Roger, without them he would've nothing) So here we are today - We hear two songs from the new album, and three seconds with "Rockin the cosmos" and start to critique, attack, and lambast the new album. Everything seems wrong with this album. The lyrics, the sound, Paul's voice, the percussion.. I mean, this is a messageboard open for all kinds of opinions, which I wholeheartedly support, still I find it a bit strange that many people now have turned their backs to the album. First: - There are loads of bullshit lyrics in Queen's catalogue of songs... Just look and you'll find it. - To critique the album sound already is beyond me. - And Paul Rodgers is often deemed "the Voice", and he is an incredible singer. --> I'm really looking forward to attend the gigs in Hannover and Hamburg, and I'm filled with joy, just by imagine how it will be to hold the new album in my hands :) And finally, didnt all of Queen albums lead to enormous polarization both among fans and critics?? |

Thomas Tønnesen you dont know what you are talking about, without freddie NONE of the Queen songs would be any good. He is the reason they became what they became both songwriting wise and vocally. His solo albums are masterpieces and no one can touch them and i see them as Queen songs. hmm Queens last album made in heaven, i wonder where that song originally came from? could it be FREDDIES SOLO ALBUM?? that says quite a bit about how good and important everything he ever did was. |

The Freddie Nercury solo albums were terrible with the spng Barcelona as an exception. His other big hit "The Grear pretender" was a coversong. Mr Bad Guy is just embarassing in my ears. Its dated, its drum machines, its boring guitarsolos. Terrible. I never listen to that album. I find it horrible! And you say that Freddie was Queen? If you knew history you would know that the Queen sound was very alive before even Freddie Mercury knew Brian May and Roger Taylor. Freddie joined smile because he loved them as musicians. He loved smile. How come Freddie didnt make it with Ibex or wreckage? Easy answer. He needed someone to help him. Just as much as May and Taylor needed someone to help them. A smile song Doing alright was on the first Queenalbum. In fact I like the smileversion better.... |

Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about. It's actually an okayish song. Not your typical Queen song, but Queen never did stick to one genre, they experimented with others. If people don't like it then thats their problem. I don't see why they have to pollute the board with threads like this when there are already several hundread floating about somewhere... |

There are several great solo songs that Brian and Roger have written. They have the ability to write good songs, unfortunately C-lebrity is not one of them. We can all speculate what had happened if Smile went on without Freddie for example. Freddie was a great performer and no doubt the most variable singer. Yet Brian, John and Roger made it happen as much as Freddie that you can enjoy Freddie's voice still at this day. |

The point i want to make is that Queen would have never become anything without freddie, without freddie you would have smile. Of course roger, brian and john are all GREAT guys and musicians but i think they themselves know that freddie was just out of this world, not a normal human being, he was SUPER talented and there are no words to describe how awesome and unique he was. He will forever be the best mucician/singer/frontman of all time with zero competition. |

Treasure Moment wrote: those exeptions im talking about are the songs freddie didnt have much input into.You still don't make sense. You used the words 'everything they ever did'. That does not allow for exceptions. You know what 'everything' means, right? 'Everything' means EVERYTHING. 'Ever' means from when they started doing music, either individually or as a group. And 'they', I'm assuming you're talking about all four members right? If you were just talking about Freddie, you should've said 'Everything he ever did'. But basically, you're saying everything they ever did was perfect and better than everything else. Those shitty demos in the Freddie Box Set of him "DOO DAT DOOING" incoherently over rambling instrumental demos? "Man On Fire" by Roger Taylor? "Pain Is So Close to Pleasure" ?????? I don't mean to nag, I just find it confusing. You go and make a bold claim that everything they ever did was perfect, and then you say there's exceptions. To me it sounds like you haven't even heard *all* of their music, and the term 'exceptions' is just a broad term used so you can cover your arse when someone proves you wrong. That's just how it sounded to me. |

TM: Just admit it. You're a Freddie fan, not Queen. And you so obviously haven not heard everything Queen of Freddie have done. You already showed your vast knowledge of music when that former band member of yours ripped off two songs, one of which was Queen, but you didn't notice. And you know what that makes you? A POSER. Yes, you are a faker, You're not a fan. You just have heard Freddie and like his music, so you're immediately acting like you've heard it all now. And while I'm no one against any sort of admiration to who is easily one of the best singers and composers in a band, you really need to not make it seem like you're standing up for him like he needs your support, when you obviously only have the enthusiasm to use his career to make it seem like you're hot stuff, which is pretty perverse and quite odd. Ever since the first posts of yours I ever read, I have yet to see what your personal gain is as I;d think you'd want people to like you, rather than trying to do it by force. If you want to make it in this world, at least try to notice the man you idolize wasn't as arrogant and self-centered as yourself. Please....please? |

^^ hum. maybe you're right... i only know the german issue of this show, which sucks like hell because it's pure commercialism. maybe that influenced my view. |

It sounds weird and ridiculous that some people that have been popular 35-40 years are singing about wanting to be a celebrity, actually it is even a bit sad and embarrassing. I though the same about Brian's "On my way up" song, I have never really liked it because that kind of lyrics from an old war horse are just ridiculous. Anyway, the music of this track sucks too, especially the refrain. |

Its about how the music industry is now with talentless people getting 15 minutes of fame. |

its not about them wanting to be celebrities. Its about how the music industry is now with talentless people getting 15 minutes of fame.This text just doesn't seem to have any humour, so most of the people will think they are singing about themselves want to be celebrity Humorous text like "Put out the fire" is easy to understand as a joke, but this one isn't. Anyway, there's better text's about getting the fame, like "15 minutes of fame" by Damn Yankees link "Miss america" by Styx link Even the lyrics of "When Will I Be Famous?" by Bros sounds more humorous (unintentionally?) link There is already too many songs with "I want to be celebrity" lyrics anyway |
