ABSOLUTE LEGEND! Freddie Mercury - Time Waits For No One (Official Video) REACTION!

[@susaneuliano7692]

I'm back listening to Freddie,as he is a musical miracle. The emotion and soul he adds is so beautiful. Just love him forevermore ❤.

[@pattylisk6170]

I’m so glad I can still bring up David’s reactions to Queen. Hands down the best reactor ever . Missing Freddie so here’s the one to come to to hear Freddie and Queen❤️

[@dawnietheheartie3276]

I remember the day this came out in 2019, and I literally sat there in tears watching and listening to Freddie Mercury again, so crisp and clear. I was in high school when he passed away, and it blows my mind that it's been 30 years since then come this November. I've been a Freddie/Queen fan literally all my life, and this really felt like a beautiful gift that was buried away, waiting for the perfect time to bless us with Freddie again. Never been anyone like Freddie, and never will again. He really was the epitome of a showman, and yeah, you could see, feel and hear every emotion that man experienced every time he opened his mouth. Brilliant artist and forever one of my faves.

[@barbaraanne5258]

Freddie could sing anything!!!!!

[@karenj3611]

And did!!

[@susaneuliano7692]

You just said it,He's a legend.

[@Justicia007]

Another reason he's a legend, he was a genuinely nice and caring person by all accounts. Reinhold Mack the legendary producer was asked, among all the great musicians Mack has worked with, how highly does he rate Mercury? “Freddie was music. He was a genius,” he says.

[@jazzlefettie]

“His heart beats through the music.” That sums up Freddie perfectly! ❤️❤️❤️

[@shellyjackson3887]

Beautiful!! Simply beautiful!! We miss you Freddie!!!

[@JohnHazelwood58]

Everybody: "How good you want to be, Fred?" Freddie: "Jack That Back a million times, darling!" :-)

[@aimlessbauer9082]

😆 oh that sounds like something he would say! 😆

[@ikirsikas]

My God! His voice is magical and it's a mystical gift. By the way, Freddiel hasn't really had any professional voice training. It all came from his great heart, a natural gift. This was and is his phenomenon. Great reaction as always. Thank you!

The pianist is Mike Moran co-producer and co-writer of Barcelona album. Song was written by Dave Clarke

Mike Moran a wizard on the piano.... 💕

[@jpw6893]

I don't know if you know but this vocal is the demo version. He was asked to sing it, he sang it through in one (this was him singing it first time). They lost the vocal and recently found it, redid the piano and this is the result

When this version came out a couple of years ago it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you David for reacting to this one.

[@janettesinclair6279]

I'm loving your reaction, and I am with you every step of the way. Freddie Mercury's ability to convey passion through his voice and his music is so beautiful. This is an incredible performance. "Captivating" you said, and it is.

[@hahatoldyouso]

Honestly the best enhanced 4K video I've ever seen! Freddie legend forever

[@allanriach]

Great reaction to a beautiful song. Yes it's a shock seeing Freddie in HD. Great production and piano. It will be hard to find a better vocal performance from anyone ever. It will be a disappointment listening to the original Time now.

[@joan783]

This was rediscovered in 2019 by Dave Clark, believe it or not this was an early rehearsal tape and wasn't the final version! The version that was used is out on KZbin called just "Time". There is a great "making of" video somewhere as well. It was filmed on the stage set for the show. The other version is more gospel with a choir, but I love this version because it is just Freddie and piano, with no place to hide it shows his incredible talent. Any hope for "The Great Pretender?"

[@GinMae]

Yes - thanks, Lizzie! amazing - when this was "re-discovered" and released, it actually charted... I was hoping it would go to number one! :)

[@jackierichardson901]

That was amazing David Freddie is the only artist who could get to your soul such a beautiful song such a shame he was taken too soon a beautiful talented handsome man hope he found peace and love up above nice to see you again David and great to see your enthusiasm as always take care sending love and prayers to Freddie and everyone who needs it in this troubled world x x

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Lovely reaction David! Such a shame, that we don't have more than a few "making of ..." videos with Freddie. It would be so interesting to see how he put it together, how he sang this beautiful song at the recording process. I think Dave Clark said in an interview, that Freddie was the only artist who did his best, even though there were a lot of great singers on the record.

[@unravelingfast2198]

I love your reaction! Freddie could squeeze every ounce of emotion out of a word, a phrase, a song. He was so powerful, I love him so much. It's amazing how he drilled into some of these words!!

[@sherryheim5504]

I was so captivated by this performance that I forgot to write my words here. This is so amazing, his voice is so free and yet so controlled. Thank you for a great reaction. I heard Freddie once say that he would never again lipsync (after having to on Top Of The Pops, Killer Queen) when he did videos because it looked ridiculous so I am guessing he is actually singing which gives him that feeling that he can relate into movement.

[@GinMae]

I believe he was actually lip-synching, base on the mic positions, but it was fantastically well-done - and as Lizzie pointed out, this was a "rehearsal" -- !!

[@stevenlovett643]

He did lypsync a few times after Killer Queen, maybe not by choice but he did. I'd say its almost certain he never sang Barcelona live.

[@sherryheim5504]

@@stevenlovett643 As long as he didn't have a hot mic, he could have been singing along with the recording and I believe that is what he usually preferred to do. No, Barcelona needed an entire orchestra and would not have been good live just like Bohemian Rhapsody. Only pieces of BoRhap are done live due to the massive overdubbing on the original. According to Brian, Freddie was a human metronome and could sing over something and have it be exactly the same if he chose to. I remember hearing Freddie say that exact thing once when he was told to lipsync something He said no that he could do an overdub edit better than an engineer could sync him.

[@stevenlovett643]

@@sherryheim5504 There was a live TV performance once, i can't remember which country, but the producers insisted he lypsync. Freddie being Freddie turned the mic on half way through for a short time pissing them off LOL Freddie was human you know, he had times when his vocals were below par and sounded quite bad, suffered quite a bit with his vocal chords etc, but Freddie for the most part was a good vocalist there's no doubting that. An incredible vocal range.

[@unravelingfast2198]

@@sherryheim5504 I've always noticed his great sense of time. When he does his Ayy Ohs he holds each one a certain length of time and then directs the audience in their repeat and it always seems exactly the same length. Of course I have no way to really evaluate that scientifically, but they sure seem right on.

Mint reaction as per mate. Try the great pretender by Freddie from the 90s. Its not queen per say but it may as well have been got . Its got the harmonies a even a guitar solo. One of his best 90s vocals.. Also try a hero from the 'flash soundtrack. The live one from Milton Keynes. Its the opening song. Not that well know for a Queen song but it's perfect to open the gig, good to see you on the up, take care and best wishes
