Completely forgot this song existed.

Until last night anyway - heard it again for the first time in years and years.

It is, quite simply, absolutely fucking brilliant.

I've always thought Brian and Roger should have asked him to be Freddie instead of Adam Lambert.

Brilliant, as was the majority of stuff he released. Cowell signed and dropped him prior to this as he had no clue musically what to do with him.

Probably because the Scissor Sisters were doing the camp pop thing much better.

This song was actually written about label execs, who were trying to get him to be more like Craig David.

Proof, if ever it were needed, that record label execs are absolutely clueless.

I dunno the whole thing with the Nevermind Mix/Production is pretty interesting to read about.  Things might have been pretty different if they went with the original style.

That's what I thought too, he'd do a great job I'm sure

Can't stand the song but he would have been a better front man in that Queen tribute act.
