Britney, Beyonce & Pink Team Up For Queen Anthem

Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink have teamed up on a new version of the Queen hit We Will Rock You. The pop divas re-recorded the song with the remaining members of Queen. They have performed it specially for a new Pepsi advert in which they play Roman gladiators.

Guitarist Brian May said: "It was fantastic that they wanted to use We Will Rock You as the track.

"It was a big thrill - Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink singing a Queen track, I got to play guitar and Roger Taylor got to play drums. It couldn't have been more fun."

Pepsi says the girls have brought their own unique style to the new version, which was recorded in Rome. The three will be flying in to London next month for the advert's global premiere.

(What's next? Aguilera, Sugababes & Whitney Houston to cover Nothing Else Matters? Brrr... - Zappp)

Thanks Ananova for reporting this crazy thing.

.....i thought 5ive doing it was bad enough

[n_punx]

britney singing 'we will rock u'???? cant imagine. the one 5ive did was EXTREMELY bad

[thomas_wh]

yeah, leave old classics as they are, great song originally

[seven_stringer]

Why do queen keep embaressing themselves by doing things like this?

@ n_punx: though she already sang Jett's "I love Rock N' Roll"...

^^ So well might we add...

She certainly rocked me, that video was too hardcore for mtv.

[Infinite-Reason]

Uhhh this is just bad......

[Encore_God]

For charity, fine. For Pepsi? WTF?

[transcend]

this is just a big disgrace to classic rock

[zepplinmike]

oh well. It's the shittiest Queen song anyway. They can do whatever they want to that piece of crap. Now if they touched REAL classics like Bohemian Rhapsody or Killer Queen, then I'd be pissed off.

[azerty_66]

"Pepsi says the girls have brought their own unique style to the new version." what unique style? pop?!?
"(What's next? Aguilera, Sugababes & Whitney Houston to cover Nothing Else Matters? Brrr... - Zappp)" wowowoww that wasn't even funny, you really scared me there for a moment! :p

[kurt_cobain65]

[perfec_circl]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOO damn those stupid bitches.....

[OLP1]

[nasty_santa409]

Oh, HELL NO!!! lets see what she's ruined so far...

I can't get no satisfaction
I love Rock & Roll
and now we will rock you?

this is just terrible. if britney covers any more of this, then I will start an assassin movement. who wants 2 join?

[guitardude72565]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!! its all about money these days oh and zappp that was a joke about christina and whitney doing nothing else matters was a joke right?

[GothicTazz]

Oh My. I WANT IN THE ASSASSIN MOVEMENT nasty_santa409!!!
I mean WTF!?! How did this one come about!!
DAMN WHORES !!!

[thecrumb]

This sucks! Brittney needs to knock it off! Leave our songs alone!

p.s. Is it true that Dolly Parton did a cover of Stairway To Heaven?

[MetalheadBuddha]

HAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH....
..omg, this is gonna be horrible. Why wont Britany understand that she CANNOT relate to rock 'n' roll? Shes a complete ditz! Some people should be put outta their misery. I'll join the assassain movement, if i get first dibs at Britany. Hopefully, no "divas" will cover any of the good ol' BLue Oyster Cult songs. If anyone does, thats it.

[XxJohn-5xX]

Hell i dont care all i need to do is put the tv on mute pretend that pink aint there and put on some real music like Marilyn Manson or Janes Addiction

[XxJohn-5xX]

nasty_santa409: i will join your movement

[JimmyJackrabbit]

These bitches really can't write their own songs.....

[bongfufighter]

Beyonce and pink get more credits from me than britney. But i wanna bang all of them!

[hEadShoVeL]

i still wana bone britney so bad!!

[classical_metal]

please tell me this is not happening? why corrupt the PURE,.... why damn it why?

[hEadShoVeL]

...

[Your_Fiend]

i agree with classical_metal, why let Britney Spears, Beyonce and Pink a.k.a the spawns of Lucifer, corrupt the pure rock 'n' roll?
Haven't we suffered enough already!?

[Oswald]

FUCK ÈM ALL!!!!!

[disconnected]

why does brian may think this is a good idea? he's nuts

[hEadShoVeL]

.

[Psykotik]

The hell is that!!!

What's next??? 50 cent doing Paranoid???

[punkrock84]

why ruin a classic?? especially by them! ARGH!! rock is rock, pop is pop! bleH!!

[punkrock84]

are queen THAT desperate?!?! out the window! pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww!

[numnuts]

lets see a buncha fagityassed punks try to cover metallica at mtv icon, i think it was mariah carey or someone like that trying to do def leppard "bringin on the heartache" hasnt anyone seen how bad all that kinda stuff turns out? now we gotta sit through sum pop stars defacing a queen song. *** you

[MatsumotoHideto]

who in the sweet loving f*** allowed this to happen? Why in the hell are they doing this? I thought the pop crowd would have learned that some songs should not be remade (I still want Limp Bizkit to DIE after that whole Behind Blue Eyes debacle)... sonsof...

[fahrenheit]

...Freddie Mercury rolls over in his grave. As if I needed another reason to hate Britney Spears, or thought that I was capable of disliking her more. What a presumptuous little whore. Just when I thought she was over, she goes and "covers" a song by Queen. A great song has been tainted by a despicable pop tart...Why did it have to be Queen?! Couldn't she have screwed up a Journey song or something? Her vocal skills are nonexistent and and somehow she brainwashed Brian May into supporting her. When will this nightmare end?

[Resin]

This sucks....
I Have no comment........
Ohhhhh the crappppppp!!!!!!

[Joekaffy2724]

Only Freddy can sing that song

[twotonerudie]

but they'll keep doing it because all the people who like britney anyway will think it's "funny" or "cute". friggin' pop stars...

[davis_2k8]

that pisses me off. i hope they suffer for that.

[matttt]

i agree with john, the bassist from queen just leave it. apparently brian, roger and john were meant to do something with robbie williams but john said that would ruin the queen song. he was quite right.

[Quark113]

As soon as I am old enough I will become President. Then I will decree that no perverted "pop star" will deface timeless classics and if they do, they will get shot. In the face.
