Editorial Reviews

QUEEN C-lebrity (2008 UK 2-track enhanced CD single - Many of Queens best known songs have been written in humour and C-lebrity [with guest vocals by Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters] follows in this pattern; it is a comment on the celebrity-driven times in which we live where the myriad of reality-based tv shows are producing a generation of C-lebrities. Includes a CD-Rom Section including their live performance on Al Murrays Happy Hour which is accompanied by their Now-Play-It tutorial presented in a card picture sleeve)

5.0 out of 5 stars Queen Pop Back Into Action!, October 22, 2008

This is a terrific and fun single release that harkens back to the pop success Queen specialized in during the 80s with songs like "I Want to Break Free" and "A Kind of Magic". Fun lyrics, great guitar and percussion, and some sweet vocals by Paul Rodgers. Little wonder it was #1 on the UK rock single charts!

A fantastic new song from the legendary Queen. Tight rhythm section. Sharp guitars. A wonderfully catchy refrain. Brian May and Roger Taylor are in top form as usual. Paul Rodger's voice sounds better than it has in years. This track is definitely one of the highlights on the new album, The Cosmos Rocks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Queen + Paul Rodgers serve up a fun, rocking single, October 20, 2008

C-lebrity is a fun, rocking track from the new debut album by Queen + Paul Rodgers. Lots of classic Queen trademarks, from May's instantly identifiable guitar and a hooky riff, a catchy chorus, and some trademark Queen backing vocals - plus the added power of the voice of the always excellent Mr. Paul Rodgers. Some great, biting lyrics, too, all classic Roger Taylor stuff, with equal parts with the humor and the sarcasm. This is a fun track. A good mix of rock and pop with a nice to-the-point guitar solo. "I want to be a star in a Broadway musical - they're gonna love me - I can't sing or dance at all" is a great lyric. Roger Taylor, as always, really nails it with some powerful percussion. A song I could hear Freddie Mercury really sinking his teeth into. And I imagine the video would have been hilarious. Well worth a listen or twelve.
