Bohemian Catastrophe at Glastonbury

I’ve never been one to particularly admire Kanye West, and neither was I too excited upon hearing the news of him headlining Glastonbury (like the majority of the rest of the human race); but each to his own, I always believe. However, then, Mr West decided to have a take on Queen’s legendary and beautifully composed Bohemian Rhapsody managing to completely transform and ruin it in the process.

Who has not at some point of their lives heard or sang to the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody? It is perhaps Queen’s greatest masterpiece which Kanye West decided to cover by practically mumbling a few, random words from the song now and then and allowing the audience to sing the rest of it; because, I assume, he realised he was making a joke of himself. In fact, in my humble opinion, the best part of the performance was the beginning, where the original song was on and West had his mouth shut.

But I’m not one to consider myself biased, so I’ll let you judge for yourself. Go on, click on the video above – I know you want to.
