The 10 MOST DIFFICULT Queen Songs To Sing

10. TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU
The difficulty of Too Much Love Will Kill You lies
in singing the choruses.
The choruses of this song maintain a consistency
of high notes.
9. ONE VISION
One vision is a very powerful song for the voice.
The whole piece remains on high notes and
requires a great vocal effort. Freddie Mercury's
voice in One Vision is bad and scraped, hard to
imitate.
8. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
We Are The Champions for me is the eighth
hardest song to sing.
7. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Bohemian Rhapsody is known to all Queen fans.
It is a difficult piece for the voice as it contains
operatic parts with many overlapping voices.
Furthermore, if we listen to Freddie Mercury's
voice in detail, we notice some really difficult
passages between falsetto and full voice.
In live shows, however, Freddie Mercury
uses only the full voice.
6. INNUENDO
The first verse of the song starts in E4, a note
high enough for a start.
The song, slowly, evolves, becoming higher and
higher for the voice.
Innuendo reaches one of Freddie Mercury's
highest notes: the Eb5.
5. ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
Another One Bites The Dust is very
complicated in regards of the pitch!
In live performances, however, this part is done in a different
way, a clever way to avoid singing the high notes
of the 1980 studio version.
4. ALL GOD’S PEOPLE
All God's People is Freddie Mercury's highest
song. The whole song is on even higher notes
than the previous songs.
3. SOMEBODY TO LOVE
Somebody To Love is known for its rock-gospel
genre characterized by numerous choirs. It has
a very complex structure and it's really difficult
to sing. In the song we can find some very
complicated parts due to the high-pitches.
2. WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER
Who Wants to Live Forever is a really
DIFFICULT song! In live performances the pitch
is lowered and Freddie Mercury doesn't do
the highs he sings in the original recording...
the high notes are constant and long in the
choruses.
1. THE SHOW MUST GO ON
The Show Must Go On is the hardest
Queen song to sing! To sing The Show
Must Go On you need to have great voice
control and a great vocal range, because
the whole song stays on a high pitch.
"That song kills
me every time, it doesn't stop but, it always
just goes on" - Adam Lambert

Honestly, the entire Innuendo album is insanely impressive. This is the voice of a dying man infected by an illness that also affects the vocals. The fact that he was able to sing that good at this stage is absolutely mindblowing. Really makes you wonder how he would have sounded, if he had taken better care of his voice during his prime. Without smoking, drugs, nodules and a grueling tour plan, one can only imagine...

[@danyfilmusic]

You are right! He said that smoking warmed his voice... 😅

[@EmreCanKorkmaz]

You can't separate the 'Lover of Life' from the 'Singer of Songs'. :) He'd be a better singer, but a bitter man. :( He did live like a legend. May his soul rest in peace.

The show must go on is both the most beautiful and saddest song of all Queen songs

[@pabloparras_priv]

The Show Must Go On, además de ser mi favorita, es un clásico de Queen que es muy versionado en los típicos concursos musicales de la tele. Pero de todos los que he visto, JAMÁS he visto a nadie que la cante bien. O se saltan las notas altas o no llegan, sólo Freddie lo hizo posible, y todo esto muriéndose. Es alucinante

[@nenefor2246]

Yes! I heard it too. He didn't reach the way he sang during the record while performing. And very few of singers can repeat the changes between verses

Even with out the background music you can still hear it

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

There are much harder Queen songs to sing. Songs such as Gimme The Prize, Prince Of The Universe, The Hitman, The Hero (This song is insane the song is around A4 - D5), It's Late ext. ext. These are also the songs that you hardly see any covers for. The real difficulty is singing these high notes with same amount of power as Freddie Mercury.

Of course Freddies voice is unbelievable. And don´t think I don´t love him. He´s my idol and it´s absolutly incredible what he did for music but I missed Rogers solos. When this video just was about Freddie, I absolutly agree with that but I think that it´s not the easiest thing to sing one of Rogers falsettos. Legends live forever, even if they don´t want to and we´ll always care that you died Freddie!

The live show you're sampling from for Bohemian Rhapsody was his opening piece for Live Aid 1985. It was later said that he had a problem with his voice during that performance.

I'd probably throw Action This Day on this list. Multiple B4s and C#5 sustains are really hard to do in one take.

[@mal067]

I have no experience in singing but tbh I was born to love you is honestly a little hard to sing like the vocals are high and I always voice crack singing it lmao

[@noahpincus8344]

Great list but Dont Stop Me Now should be on here imo. It doesn't have the difficult dynamics of Somebody to Love or Bohemian, but basically the whole thing is in full voice with plenty of notes in the G-B range

[@Gabriel-bw2in]

Singing Dont stop me now at home I realised it is almost impossible to sing it well. No one like Freddie. On a piano I realised I can barely go beyond D4 or E4 on full voice, and I suck at falsetto XD. I would also add Don't try so hard, from innuendo. I cannot believe at all how Freddie was so constant at high notes, being so ill at that time, if you have not heard it, it will blow up your head

[@tplouffe9226]

Freddie has reached higher than an F5 before tho? Im pretty sure on Exercises in Free Love, Princes of The Universe Under Pressure, The Kiss (demo), Great King Rat, Love Kills, live Impromptu in Welmbley, Rio, Milan, Tokyo, and Sun City, just to name a few. Not meaning the songs or pieces are more difficult, but he has sung much higher than an F5. Great video, but I just wanted to point that out.

[@melon9130]

I think the video referred to the highest note in chest voice(?)

[@DoFliesCallUsWalks]

I think there is a C6 in Dont stop me now.

[@LEVELCROSSING225]

Good song choices. All God's People is all over the place, vocally. And its hard to follow sometimes. I think you missed out some bits though. For example, for Who Wants to Live Forever, the end of the first verse going into the instrumental bridge, to me, is just as impressive as the chorus towards the end. Scandal is another good example. Freddie had the ability, but he really didn't care about how his voice was doing whatever it was doing. He just went into the studio or went on stage and did it. He cared about how it sounded, of course. But I don't think he cared about the mechanics of how ones voice works to produce those notes. He practiced, warmed up as advised and did it. Technique and practice.

Well you can sing them of course, but can you the way Freddie did? Like, singing the high notes not in falsetto but in a „normal“ or even raspy voice. Or singing two different notes at the same time?
