The supremely untalented Jedward (loveable though they may be) trashed We Will Rock You the other week.
Tomorrow, all the X Factor contestants will ransack the back catalogue of Freddie Mercury and Co (with widely varying degrees of success no doubt)

Cynics may scoff at yet another repackage but these songs, Bohemian Rhapsody et al. are as vibrant and brilliant as the day they were conceived. Available in various formats, it’s a perfect reminder that great showman Freddie puts the reality wannabes firmly in their place.
