xerinmichellexI've been up since 6:30 am to see Emilie Autumn perform on WGN. Note to the WGN producers: It would be nice to list what time people are going to be on. I understand you want people to watch the entire broadcast, but I could have slept for another hour. However, kudos for having EA and Madeleine Albright on the same day...which would have made a cool photo-op in the green room.
The lovely Miss Autumn performed on our local news program 3 years ago. I was not a fan at the time, so I was determined to see her and her Blood Crumpets (her "backing band"). All I have to say is Middle Illinois was woken up by her decked out to the nines. Bless you, Emilie Autumn. And bless you for performing your version of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on live television. Her recorded version can be heard here for those interested. No, I don't think hers as good as the original. But, EA held her own and the song does sound pretty sweet on an electric violin. That girl has Victorian steelballs stockings.
And, WGN, you DID NOT seriously cut her off mid-song to go to a commercial! She even edited out most of the lyrics; so you could have shown the entire song! Be prepared for the Asylum Army. They are loyal muffins. They're coming to poison your tea, WGN!
Only 19 days until her novel, The Asylum, comes out! It's going to be the best $80 I ever spent!
ETA: The videos are now up! "Bohemian Rhapsody" is here and the too-graphic-for-early-morning "Liar" is over here. For some reason, the videos were real jerky until I kept moving my cursor in the upper left corner of the video window. Let's fix that, WGN, m'kay?
