Surely there are many so called "clues" in Queen lyrics that may suggest Freddie was suffering from AIDS, or hinting that he was gay, but then we learn that Freddie wasn't the author of those lyrics. But what if Freddie just let the other guys take credit for "his" songs? I know it's a strange theory, and I'm pretty sure someone is going to get pissed at me. That's always the case. QZ is such a friendly place, isn't it? In that interview in Brazil with the retarded reporter, when asked if I Want To Break Free had anything to do with homosexuality, Freddie says that the song was written by John, a happily married man with children. What if, as unlikely as it seems, Freddie let John take credit for the song? Another example is TSMGO, with the words "My makeup may be flaking, but my smile still stays on". Just a thought, a strange thought. Go ahead, send me hate mail. You know you want to. ;) |

It's not a really interesting thought, it's just an unfounded theory. And the Brazilian interviewer was not "retarded", she just did not speak English - it was not fair to send her to conduct the interview when she could not understand the answers. |

I think it is an interesting thought. And that reporter was annoying. I remember someone saying, either Jim Hutton or Peter Freestone, that the line that really fit Freddie at the time was, the "my makeup may be flaking" one. I think you could be on to something. |

OH YES! Definitely! Another example would be songs like Body Language, Get Down Make Love, Brighton Rock...stuff like that. But I definitely see your point, Millionaire Waltz! |

Yes, it's an interesting theory but...you need stronger arguments to make such kind of statements. Maybe things are just the way everybody knows and we are just trying to complicate them for no reason. |
| flash! 28068 08.08.2006 12:11 |
With many songs. For example, Was It All Worth It... this seemed to have certain vibe coming from it saying that Freddie's career was nearly at an end and he, along with the band, were looking back to their fabulous past they've spent together. Was it all worth it? Yes, it was a worth while experience! Love you. |

That Brazil interviewer is funny. They really should of got someone who is qualified to understand and speak the English language. |

And Brian Wrote TSMGO as he watched Freddie deteriorate, and Freddie did wear make-up to hide the blemishes |

ABOUT THE REPORTER! She is not retarded. And she speaks English, I think. Here in Brazil, I don't know why, in international interviews they used to record the reporter speaking English and then the question spoken in Portuguese. Before broadcasting, they edit the interview to appear that the reporter is speaking in Portuguese and the interviewed one is speaking in English. Mr. Mercury just made fun of her. |

The Brasilian lady is funny, and Freddie was kind to her, so he didn't mind the routine. About the lyrics... Crossed my mind somehow. Seems now like Brian was more distressed than Freddie or that he found a better way to show it. Like TATDOOL. That "I still love you!" in the end is Freddie style, at least the way he says it (and not sing it). Still, the song is credited to Rog. But Freddie said once that he found things to cling to in the others' songs. I think he did touch lyrics here and there, but couldn't take the credit for the whole. |

I think the subject of this topic is somehow an insult to John, Roger and Brian. |

Freddie most certainly DID NOT let John take credit for that song. Why would he do that? John was a talented songwriter on his own....Another One Bites the Dust, Spread Your Wings, etc. John's songs were brilliant! |

millionaire waltz, you do seem to come up with alot of theory's lately... |
| deleted user 09.08.2006 17:08 |
You know, the first song John's got with Queen, "Misfire", is what I would call... there are some questionable things going on with loaded guns... Maybe John is gay and all those kids are a cover-up. This would explain a lot of things. :p I'm KIDDING. But, seriously, I think that the Freddie's and the John's music styles were at least complimentary (they worked together a lot, too, in the mid-late 80's). I also remember a certain somebody else saying "this is written from the girl's point of view" about "Save Me". If less flowery, that kind of non-standard point-of-view thing could lead to confusion. I don't know. Freddie's credited for "It's a Hard Life"... he did the cover of "The Great Pretender" all by his lonesome - that's not the most subtle thing, sending the message "Look, guys ! I'm hiding something !" which is a great example of something Freddie certainly didn't write, but takes on a mysterious double entendre when in his voice. Nah, but if a certain someone was worried about appearing gay, he shouldn't have worn all that make-up and that scary pink jump-suit. DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN THE PEOPLE NEXT TO YOU READ WHAT YOU'RE TYPING ?? YES, YOU KID. Yeah, that's what I thought. 'Scuse me, there. I love public library computers. Some people are SO bored that they think you're doing something really, really, interesting that they MUST have a look at it. |

Audacity of Kelley, ROFLMAO, nice move! Eh, the thought has crossed my mind, but I never believed it, because..well...what a stupid idea! Number one, if Freddie really did write breakfree, and had it credited to John, that would mean he was ashamed of the whole gay thing and uh..I dont think he was. As for Show Must Go On, i think Freddie had a role in the lyrics, but not totally. |
