Finnish Vocal Coach Reacts: "Who Wants To Live Forever" By QUEEN

[@annavaskelainen]

Hi all! It appears that the CC that I wrote myself with my own little hands have disappeared. I am currently on a holiday unable to write new ones but I'll fix the problem asap. Thank you for your understanding and remember that you can always skip the Finnish parts. 😅 I am so sorry for this!!

[@mauriziomogno9270]

It appears that the parts in Finnish are quite interesting despite not understanding a word. You look very specific and very confident in your analysis, no matter what you're saying. If I close my eyes and listen, Mika Hakkinen appears to me explaining the details of a pole position lap.

[@goncalocarvalho4917]

i love the finish parts even if i dont understand anything, just sounds so atrative, kiitosssss

[@Jiun228]

excuse me, i have a request.. can you react and analize 'Die With a Smile' by Bruno mars & Lady Gaga? Thank you

[@kentericsolberg7958]

I am Norwegian. And i Love the Finnish language. It's sooo different from the rest of the Nordic, but it also feels so "close".

[@ellreekstormbringer4340]

Finnish parts too cute to skip it

[@keithmarshall3371]

Taken from us too soon , never to be replaced. A master of his craft. A beautiful reaction Anna. Thank you.

[@MsBananasmel]

Freddie at his peak. Absolute perfection.

[@rokmin8550]

boy you're not kidding, I am just beyond amazed

[@Melissa02891]

Queen has been a part of my life since the mid 70s, Freddie was a musical anomaly and had the ability to pull you right into whatever song he was singing and always left you wanting more. Even with songs he didn't write himself he made you feel like it was something he was experiencing deep in his soul. I still get goosebumps when I hear his magnificent voice. 👑

[@blastingweevil2968]

this is a great example of what made freddy and queen so much better than anyone else.. they performed for the crowd and the fans..

[@HankD13]

A music reporter once asked Freddie what was his favourite instrument? "The crowd, dear boy, the crowd" was his honest answer. The greatest front man ever, and although so many people associate this song with what the future held in store for him, it is from the soundtrack for the movie Highlander. RIP Freddie, keep heaven rocking.

[@chrismillington2729]

Wonderful, i can see the tears welling in your eyes Anna, me to me to born in 1963 and having Queen with me growing up, this tears at my heart, miss theses days so much, much Love kind regards Chris (UK)

[@guidolitjens5796]

Freddie Mercury was one of the GOATS of all time, listen to this song WWTLF and ask unselfish who can sing nowadays like this?? Anyone?

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

You can only have one G.O.A.T. think about it.

[@StephenDouthart]

GOAT :Greatest of all time "There can be only one " By definition

[@shadegate6660]

In my opinion he was one of the best frontmen there has ever been and will ever be. RIP Freddie, gone but never forgotten.

[@annavaskelainen]

Couldn't have said it better.

[@justitia257]

One of the most beautiful songs in the history of Rock... in my opinion.. Nice reaction, gorgeous Anna 🌹

[@rkw2917]

Not bad for four aging queens, unforgettable

[@kalohaggard1729]

Love this song , both for the movie and reasons of my own .

[@jjh5374]

I love Anna’s reactions because she not only is able to appreciate and breakdown the vocals, but she’s able to tune into and feel the emotions as well. Kiitos Anna!

[@christianmeyer6724]

WHAT A BLAST Thanks for turning to what at least in my generation was, is and always will be: A LEGEND ! Your comments/anna-lytics were spot on. I don't know if you ever re-watch your reactions ? You should ! Your empathy and enthusiasm to/for the music/singing IMO almost makes you part of the performance. Along with only a few others this sets you apart from many "reactions" I've seen. It is that genuine Anna-Way. I'm happy and even a bit proud to follow you practically from the beginning. Keep on, hang on and, please, allow yourself to be proud of what you achieved ! Well deserved 75k subs tell a story 👏🎵👏🤘👍

[@mara_s3879]

The Legend is back!!! Look at those happy, lucky faces in the crowd.. so jealous:)) He brought so much joy to so many people. Do you think Freddie was aware of the audience? I do believe he was aware of his power and I think he fed off the love of the crowd and that fed his need to be loved and accepted. He had such a duality to his character that his stage persona appeared to be this confident rockstar, when in reality he was a kind, thoughtful and shy person. Another amazing analysis from youuuu. Obrigado Anna:)) 🎵♥️🎶 Abraços

[@128mbps]

I was there! @3:39 Short blonde girl squashed at the front is my ex and i'm to her right. What a day and performance.

[@Lancer4323]

Anna your appreciation for artistry is always evident, Great job and interesting to watch..❤

[@Bernardo12ish]

Ich bekomme jedesmal Gänsehaut am ganzen Körper, wenn Freddy dieses Lied performt.

[@traviscotrel438]

One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever! Love Freddie!!!

[@garricksmalley1733]

Every time I hear this song I am transported back to my 20's and I just have to sit and listen to the man SING. Thank you for breaking this down and adding another layer to why I like Queen.

[@timheacox7565]

Great review and analysis. I never listened to them in my younger days. I've come to appreciate them lots the last few years. Thanks Anna

[@jongarratt5383]

Hi Anna, try Queen/Freddie singing "You Take My Breath Away" ( Live from Hyde Park) .

[@dianecourtney2724]

Freddie was/ is the GOAT 🥰

[@JoseRomero-og6zx]

Creo que lo que hace grande a Freddie es su capacidad de poner siempre el corazón y la emoción delante de su gran talento, su capacidad de conmover a la audiencia de provocar emociones eso para mí es su mayor virtud

[@СтаньоКоновски]

Love you , as allways , my dear Anna!!! :) Keep listening to great music with us , and dont worry about anything! Much health, God Bless!

[@davidward9737]

Over 30 years after his passing. Yes Freddie you will live forever. Btw been studying your language

[@jurgengierkink4322]

For me this will always be connected with Highlander. A song with a theme that makes you think and so connected to the movie it came with.

[@klaymor73]

The best concert ever!!! I was just 13 and we were on school travel from Spain, but was it all whorty.

[@gregorywilcox5949]

this song was part of the soundtrack for the movie HIGHLANDER starring Christopher lambert and Sean Connery a fantasy/action film

[@phil-nt4yz]

Its nice to see someone with brains doing this youtube stuff.

[@RolandoCarrillo-zz2wr]

One of my favorite songs ❤❤ love you ❤

[@teambellavsteamalice]

Something went wrong with the subtitles? On the reupload 5 minutes after the first perhaps? Still always fun watching you smile and enjoy yourself. 🥰

[@wolfiethedog76]

This song makes me cry....powerful the older I get....

[@Sigma1_969]

We are going to stay together till we fu..ing die.. I'll tell you that.. Freddie saw his own future, how sad that is. 😢 I miss this man. Love your tears Anna..

[@treetopjones737]

Brian wrote it for the Highlander movie.

[@leodurkin8539]

If you listen to earlier interviews, I’m sure he knew something wasn’t right before the diagnosis

[@kevinkaurin8383]

Entire body chills on the first chord, then the tears...😢

[@Asds-r3z]

I think he in this particular concert was already affected by his sickness unfortunately, so if you listen to this song "the studio" version it hits differently , but he gave his all to the public despite him knowing it's the end ... What a LEGEND

[@nicohappysad]

The live in Budapest version is better.

[@brenthatcher5748]

I LOVE this song!!❤

[@leanr7678]

Hi Anna, I like your analysis, and just, I will not hesitate to say, you are charming and beautiful. I love falling in reverse, and would like more of your videos with reactions to their work, if possible. Thank you Anna.😍

[@rokmin8550]

excellent reaction Anna, I'm not a singer and I learned a lot from your explanations, in fact I'm going to watch it again!

[@annavaskelainen]

🥰

[@valerialima9367]

Fred is unforgettable and unique. I would like you to react to the Brazilian singer Gabriel Henrique singing I Want to Know What Love Is, with Coral Black to Black, posted on May 22nd, on his official KZbin channel. No other male singer sings this song like him. Gabriel is self-taught. He never studied music and has been singing since he was 3 years old. Her inspirations are Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. His voice is surreal and you will be surprised. 

[@RobinC63]

I always enjoy your videos and appreciate your musical knowledge. Queen is one of my favourite bands. ❤

[@phil-nt4yz]

One of gods perfect beings . Nothing can change this.

[@edinaedina6127]

[@oldmanjimh3165]

[@conradtaggart9959]

The choir is the group - Roger, Brian and of course Freddie - no choir on the live version !

[@MK9229-g4l]

Freddie the legend.

[@luisfernandoalonsodiez673]

A short reaction to Freddie's vocal improvisation at Wembley would be nice

[@ecalduchbarcelo]

The most beautiful song ever. We love you Freddy

[@CatiaHatherly]

The best thing you've ever stepped into this world... One of the most powerful voices I've ever heard. I love hearing your remarks about the singers. Another inscription... I would very much like to hear your considerations regarding Gabriel Henriques performing "I want to know what love is" with the participation of the "Black to Black" posted on his official KZbin channel on May 22.

[@allengray5748]

Very Nice! I teared up the second time I heard this as the first time I was distracted by the movie and sitting in the theater 🍿🎥 Great Job Anna and Good Morning from the Pacific Northwest!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎

[@daraluz75012]

I grew up listening to Queen and Freddy Mercury. Thanks❤Please I would like to suggest react to Gabriel Henrique with the Coral Black to Black singing I want to know what love is.

[@martine3293]

Another Queen-classic! When I heard it for the first time (must have been in the late 80ies), it struck a chord with me and after all these years, it still does. Unfortunately the subtitles were missing, so for the Finnish parts I really had to focus hard, but managed to get the essence of what you had to say 😀

[@phil-nt4yz]

Love to never die

[@tnsteelerfan86]

I am Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel. And I am immortal.............. IYKYK 😉

[@echofive1178]

great song, love hearing you talk :)

[@sliceofheaven3026]

Not sure but I think they specifically composed this for the movie highlander. The movies main star is basically a immortal being who fell in love with a mortal woman and ended watching her die of old age.

[@eddybulk1992]

Great reaction Anna to a masterpeace but do you know that there is a fanmade video of this song with Floor Jansen singin with Queen. No live footage but still impressive greetings from The Netherlands

[@GilesMcRiker]

I don't know if anybody else mentioned this, but there is a really cute interview by a Finnish school boy (~12 yr old) interviewing Queen very early on in their career. You can find it on youtube, it's very cute

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

there is a studioversion as well - maybe for the movie - with a boys choir and symphony orchestra and Queen - both Freddie and Brian as vocals - - . Brian wrote this in the car on the way home after having see a clip of the movie "Highlander" for which the band made the soundtrack. You may be interested in another version with Adam Lambert who is now touring with Queen being Brian and Roger - and 3 musicians in the back - among them Spike Edney who was with the band from the start of the eighties to make it possible for Freddie to perform front stage. The version with Adam is from 2016 - the day after a mass shooting in a gay bar. Adam dedicated the song to the victims - and sang it like Roger and Brian never had heard it sung before. Adam does not try to be like Freddie but has a monster voice - that you will love to react to - I promise! You have a new subscriber. Btw. you can also find Adam singing "Nessun dorma" from "Tosca" with Brian playing the whole orchestra on his "Red Special" improvised.

[@vernhoke7730]

I can say one of the best concerts I have gone to was Queen at Madison Square Garden in September of 1980 on "The Game" tour. Which can be seen in their "Rocks Montreal 1981" videos here on KZbin. Probably the best concert I've seen was Heart at Convention Hall in Asbury Park on August 16th, 1977. The day Elvis died.

[@BeatWittwer-x8p]

Freddie/Queen are incomparably brilliant and immortal. Here is another suggestion from a distant country, a singer few outside Australia know .....check out John Franham but make sure its a live performance. Keen to see your analysis/reaction.

[@sebacastillos]

I LOVE QUEEN AND I LOVE YOU 😍

[@bobogus7559]

You have got to check out Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe's "Barcelona." It's absolutely amazing.

[@cazalestudio]

Anna, I love your videos, I really learn a lot and appreciate music more. If you have the chance, do an analysis of "El Triste" by the Mexican singer Jose Jose, it's simply iconic.

[@sef2.0lifegoeson62]

Queen just Fantstic They did Great Movie soundtracks this one who wants to live forever for ( Highlander) starting Christopher Lambert Shun Connerry Another great film soundtrack is for the film ( Flash Gordan) brilliant Love Queen & We all love your passion too All the Best ✌️

[@pierredumas7331]

I will surely watch it. You hooked me with your reactions to Lara Fabian Adagio, Caruso and the sublime Je suis malade ( French is my home language). I love how you point out elements that others don't notice. You obviously know all the singing techniques 👍🏻

[@christianmeyer6724]

Back to a truely legendary band and awesome Freddie, BRAVO ! I just hope to be home at announced 16:00 CEST. And Pierre, as a more than 2 decades fan of Lara I dearly like your comment ! And that also goes for your characterisation of Anna's reactions 👏👍

@@christianmeyer6724 I would hear Je suis malade a thousand times and still have goosebumps every time. I am a long time fan also. I love when Anna speaks Finnish. Very nice sounding language, a bit similar to Ukrainian.

[@christianmeyer6724]

@@pierredumas7331 I'm so much with you, and I love these goosebumps. I was so lucky to see Lara twice in Montreal and once in Geneva, and I cherish the awesome memories. I also share your opinion regarding Anna's Finnish. I've been to Finland several times, last time less than 3 weeks ago and love nature there, the people and their versatile music/arts. I'm not able to name one specific "most liked song" from Lara, there are so many. But please, allow to add one which is in my personal top-tier. Mentioning her Mom singing this song is so heartwarming kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5TQmXacfZ6CnLM

[@christianmeyer6724]

@@pierredumas7331 I definitly agree ! Like Queen/Freddie to me Lara is an absolute "goosebumps artist". Having seen her live twice in Montreal and once in Geneva are memories for a lifetime. I'm also a fan of Anna's reactions (interviews, own singing) and speaking Finnish. Just recently returned from Finland and I dearly appreciate it's nature, people and versatile music/arts. My progress learning the language is painfully negligible. Regarding Lara, I can't determine a favorite song, there are so many great ones. Please, allow to mention this, it's high up in my playlist kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5TQmXacfZ6CnLM

For comparison You should watch the official video of this song. The Brian and Freddie share the lead vocals with Brian taking the more delicate parts and Freddie the more powerful. And yes, with Freddie, Brian and Roger that band had three fully capable lead vocalists.
