I thought Brian May, legendary Queen guitarist was losing it when he pimped Queen on American Idol's finale. Then I thought he was really losing it when he was entertaining the idea that Adam Lambert was going to be the new Queen singer (article here).

Now Brian has really lost it. He is claiming that pop-star Katy Perry has the same stage presence as Freddie Mercury. May had the chance to meet Perry backstage at a London concert and then immediately went home and blogged about it. He said:

"I walked in and there was Katy Perry and a hot young band tearing it up to an audience who responded to every note, and seldom sat down. No clicks, no backing tracks, no mime show... no huge production... no pretence. Just a really great young singer and artist, pouring her heart out.

"But the best thing of all is her command of mood. Katy sings and talks lightly, full of cheeky humour, but, at the drop of a hat... before you realise it's happened... she has changed gear and is singing a serious song with a natural honesty and emotion... and you are in her grip. She's a true entertainer."

Wake me up when she can do this:
