Isn't Strictly doing a Fosse tribute on the same episode? Sweet Charity.. Fosse choreography. OMG(!) .... I don't even want to type out what I am thinking/hoping now but I am keeping fingers and toes crossed (realizing now that "Big Spender" was adapted from "Sweet Charity" for the revue "Fosse"). Question for the UK folks (or anyone else who happens to know) - do the musical guests on Strictly ever perform twice in a show? Because I don't think there's any way Adam isn't singing a Queen song from WWRY. If Adam were to do two songs, not just a Queen song, that would be an awesome surprise and a lot of fun.

I in no way was thinking Adam was doing anything but Queen. Just that maybe he posted it knowing that's what the episode would be doing for Fosse. But I could be totally wrong and likely am.

My first instinct was to dismiss the possibility of a second performance out of hand, but seem to recall that there have been musical guests on Dancing with the Stars who have performed more than once during a show. However, I'm not a regular enough watcher of DWTS to know how likely it would make a second Adam performance on Strictly - or even if I'm remembering correctly in the first place.

BR took in $5,220,000 yesterday (Friday), which is 21% more than last Friday despite being played in 883 less theaters! the US published total is at $143,379,253 atm ...waiting for the international update, it’s several days behind... I really think $500 Mil by Monday will happen! www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=bohemianrhapsody.htmHappy that they keep running those numbers up. Brian and Roger knew that people wanted to see the story of Freddie Mercury (the rock star) and the rise of the wonderful rock band Queen. I think if they had left it up to Sacha Baron Cohen and many of the critics, we would have gotten "Behind the Candelabra" the rock version. I know that movie about Liberace won a lot of critical praise and awards but I found it rather boring and one note. Almost the entire movie was about sex or wanting sex and being gay and being in bed every other scene. It was hard to feel anything for anyone or know much about the characters, imo. I guess I am not all that interested in and titillated by someone else's sex life, lol. But with BoRa, they did not hide Freddie's sexuality but they made him more of a complex person and did not spend the whole movie with him in bed with someone or doing drugs. I think one of my favorite parts was when Brian and Roger tried to blow Freddie off when he wanted to join the band. Don't care if that really happened but it made me pull for him immediately. And I cared about the way he struggled with his feelings because that must have been part of his journey and him accepting who he was. It was painful to see him trying so hard to keep some of his personal life private and not for public/media consumption. Loved the excitement of the band making their move. At least for me, I actually felt joy and sadness thru various stages of the film. And I didn't need a slew of bedroom scenes to tell the story of Freddie's sexuality and Queen. Even the part with the handsome trucker (tho brief) showed Freddie's struggle and longing with just a glance. And all ages got to enjoy this film and it is paying off for their vision.

I've been watching this season and the musical guest has only been doing one song, they don't even talk to them, just introduce them and that's it so unless it's a special episode in some way I wouldn't think he'd be doing more than one.

Absolutely right. And the box office success is proving that Brian and Roger made the right decisions about what this film was really supposed to convey. It's a movie that millions are enjoying and will probably see multiple times. And I'm sure it will be on cable forever and in all kinds of formats. It will be one of those gifts that keeps on giving.
