Freddie always said "Do what you want with my music, just don't make me boring" He would have loved this.

[@basilio237]

и Фредди был прав!

[@stefaniac.8846]

Agree

[@The_Psycho_Bad_Boy]

Why are Black people ruining a famous song by Freddie Mercury?

[@MayaRaimondo]

♥️FREDDIE

[@sylvainmoore2254]

I'm sure of it.

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

I'm beginning to think, the real victory for a contestant who appears on American Idol is ... getting to join the PMJ family.

[@chaksheba]

AMEN

[@redraven24]

YAS!

[@TheCalvinProblen]

I only know all these American Idol contestants because of PMJ!

[@jonathansaputra7880]

AGREEEEEE, TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU! Hahahaa

[@morell7027]

The real victory is being able to make a such magnificent piece of art. My heart melts listening to this.

[@saraho9371]

Freddie mercury would be so proud. beautiful voice

[@Kaimenrr]

So true so true ✨

[@emilythestrange2024]

For real

[@bobbavet]

All I can imagine is Freddie clapping and saying "Bravo, bravo darlings!"

[@Thammarith]

Do more Queen's songs please.

[@cheekypasta55]

This.

YES! from Russia. Plz!

[@vids1900]

Please

[@ElvenAngel]

Yes! More Queen please! And maybe David Bowie!

[@katie-7972]

Confirms my theory about Queen songs: they're just good songs. I LOVE Queen, and I've never heard a cover I don't like. For me that proves that the songs themselves are excellent.

[@stu632]

Well said!

[@andrewolson1664]

I agree, Queen was an essential band with tons of great hits, but can we agree that they got kinda weird in the 80s? At least their lyrics kinda went downhill.

[@MattyMan16]

Lmao try the Kanye West cover

I'm sure Freddie Mercury's eyes would light up and his smile would be wide open listening to you.😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@chrisrj9871]

I'm sure Tina Turner herself would smile if she sees this woman's performance from up there 🥰

[@surrealism7359]

No one can replace Freddie, but it was lovely

[@FlockedfinderHQ]

Nocere Affectum I had a heard time listening to this because he sang it so well!

[@Gonk]

Who the hell said anyone was replacing him? 81 dumbfucks.

[@wienersmcbutts]

Gonk well that escalated quickly

[@jackielinde7568]

The point isn't to replace a singer or performer with another one. It's to showcase what songs sound like when performed in other styles. I think Freddy would approve of this version.

[@surrealism7359]

I know, I just meant, that this song would never sound better in any other version, than Queen's

[@torresalex]

Covering Queen has to be one of the hardest to pull off well, and PMJ did it.

[@Splurge24]

OMG MORE MELINDA!!!!! I WANT MORE MELINDA!!!! THIS WOMAN IS SUPERNATURAL!

[@rileybraun7320]

Her toxic cover tho

[@danielolson5378]

Scott is a freaking genius big time!!! To make all these arrangements in so many different styles takes a lot musical understanding and knowledge.

[@sdovas]

This is everything a cover should be. Props to all, and special respect to the sax player who manages to substitute for Brian May, which is something you wouldn't have thought possible.

[@EnergyCuddles]

Simply _superb_. Freddie would be proud.

[@erstenorn]

the sax playing Brian May's guitar solo, too - incredible ...

[@HaleysTusk]

Melinda sounding fantastic as usual :)

[@bluedaisy3626]

HaleysTusk lot of love from Italy, you're phenomenal Hailey!

[@regilenemariano9244]

there's something about her voice... that just gets better with age. Much better!

[@FaithHopeLove999]

I LOVE MELINDA DOOLITTLE!!! Thank you to whoever recruited her for this project! I have aways loved her voice! She seems so humble and personable, too. So glad to see her on PMJ.. great performance, as always.

[@dennisrennersevilla9180]

PMJ really is exceptional. And this woman's voice and how she delivers the lyrics - phenomenonal!!! She ain't playing. She's that good.

[@user-ss5uy3kd6u]

Queen - Somebody to Love, pls

[@luxo199]

You know it's one of the best songs ever when the essence and soul of it is still there, even though it's a different style, with different instruments and even genders, the song it's almost the same with the original one in terms of passion, tempo, and quality... #TeamQueen

[@jasonite]

Freddie Mercury is sacred ground for me, but I'm glad about how this song builds, this is a good effort

[@mineking11]

119 people who have no appreciable ability to appreciate great talent.

[@samjones0528]

I love you guys!

[@DrLipkin]

I don't know what style it would be in, but I'd love to see them tackle John Lennon's Imagine.

[@MiaVilleneuve]

Hell yes

[@Jman5510155]

Actually, it wasn't necessarily Postmodern Jukebox, but if you look at the videos on this channel from oldest to newest, 5 years ago, there's a great version of Imagine.

[@Cherry-oc8fw]

I think I'd cry, that song is so amazing

[@mariacicek92]

Her talk in the middle of the song made my day

[@sammysamsam2992]

Gosh I dunno what to say... I love Queen and this rendition is simply amazing. Makes me wanna go out and sing. My tears can't stop. Yes, I appreciate music that much.

[@10acious_D]

That was one EPIC key change!

[@charliemelton885]

My favorite part about this cover is that you know Freddie would've loved it

[@anneabelle7098]

I like the hints of the bassline and hook from "Proud Mary." Clever.

[@zsali88]

Anne Abelle I heard Xanadu, from the likewise named musical

[@frankstrawnation]

A Queen cover at last!

[@tkd2703]

Freddie must be very very proud of this performance.. fantastic doesn't quite cover it.

[@travishudgins3049]

I'm a huge queen fan, I went into this naturally nervous you where gonna mess up my favorite queen song. But you guys not only knocked this one out of the park, you achieved orbit, good job!

[@Ciclopea2]

The original is so energetic and such a feel good song, i like this "take it easy" approach, i can tell it was done respectfully, very cool rendition :)

[@JamieZarrr]

Ciclopea2 I can't see the "take it easy" approach anywhere... unless you refer to the only slightly slowed down rhythm of the song, but the adrenaline is still all there!

[@absolutez3r019]

JamieZarr I agree . The rhythm is different, but that didn't change the energy of the song. Still gets me pumped!

[@saundersge2]

This is 'take it easy'?

[@Ciclopea2]

I didn't know a "take it easy" approach was synonymous with dull and boring lol, Melinda's performance was great and energetic, i enjoyed the slower paced arrangement, but people will still find anything no matter how silly to argue on the Internet. Anyway It's my opinion and you're as free to disagree with it as i am to stick to it, at least a few hundreds agree with me.

[@Cherry-oc8fw]

The best cover I've heard of my favorite Queen song. You, ma'am, are a queen yourself. Absolutely brilliant

[@RebeccaBlack-cz1vv]

You need to listen to Foxes - don't stop me now

[@themanwhosleeps]

Both of the backup vocalists should get a chance to star in a PMJ video!

[@10acious_D]

Matt Frederiksen Rayvon Owen already starred in 2 videos

[@44Ryan77]

The bass line is incredible

[@hoosierarcher]

ALL PMJ covers are amazing; but this one is stellar!

[@BioGaby]

I love Melinda since Idol. I wonder why she isn't more famous. She totally deserves it.

[@sam3487]

Magnifique !

[@erikziak1249]

Freddie would be so happy. Thank you.

[@thefbiguy6868]

Incredible, Amazing, Perfect

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

For some reason, I could easily see this being used in a movie trailer. One of those art house ones with no plot and a really ambiguous meaning.

[@Tricob1974]

You're right - this song is quite ideal for a movie trailer. :-) But a plot surrounding the events of a party at someone's house would also work. Maybe the host has discovered some sort of odd mystery when the party begins, and he/she strives to figure the mystery out without disrupting the party.

[@ElvenAngel]

That's actually really, REALLY interesting plot idea. I'd watch that! A party at a hotel would also work, give more room and character cast.

[@Tricob1974]

ElvenAngel - I think you have a good expansion to that idea. If all or most of the hotel staff are involved in the party, it expands who the mystery can involve. It also expands possibilities for plot twists and interesting complications. So yes, good suggestion. :-)

[@ebbandflowph]

I'm thinking--Wes Anderson's version of the Clue movie.

[@johnhall3176]

It shall be Called Clue: Hotel Room 66 "Every Room has a secret you just to find it. Before it finds you.. suggestions.

[@MVi8]

i love her ❤ in toxic she's perfect

[@fosgate5578]

Freddie is dancing right now in heaven

[@YggdrasilRising]

I needed to run d&d in about an hour, and had nothing prepared due to migraines earlier in the week. I knew I had to pep myself up and start working, so I tossed this song on loop and turned sound up. Got a months worth of material written in under an hour, this song is magic and gives me life. Never change, Postmodern Jukebox. Never change. I'll keep coming back again and again for your amazing content.

[@ClearlyPixelated]

I'm glad that the spirit of the song remains unchanged. Well done PMJ. please do more Queen songs.

[@daisygunn217]

this is so fun to play on the drums

[@antoinefdu]

This is perhaps one of the only PMJs that don't sound better than the original. But that's through no fault of their own. The original is just amazing.

[@SuzieQSailaway]

I'd forgotten how much I love Melinda's voice. Thank you for reminding me.

Destined to be a PMJ tour classic. Looking forward to hearing it in person next time PMJ is in town.
