FIRST TIME HEARING - Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona - REACTION

[@danielthenorwegianguy]

Joey Reacts Great reaction! Please do react to Queen “i want it all” and “These Are the Days Of Our Lives” the last one breaks my heart every time I watch the video

[@DoYouFeelLucky]

The last thing Freddie sang was in the studio, recording all he could before he died, telling the rest of the band that they had to finish it - which became the album, "Made in Heaven". The last of his recording was for the track, "Mother Love". If you listen to that song, the final verse is sung by Brian May, because before Freddie could record that last verse he felt too weak and said he had to go, but would come back and finish up later (he never did, shortly after dying of AIDS related pneumonia). He'd been propping himself up at the mixing desk and knocking back shots of vodka to keep himself going. The vocals he managed to pull off were amazing. Have a listen to "Mother Love" x

[@katm6]

I am enjoying your videos hugely. The fact that you were willing to give opera a try and appreciated it says so much about you as an open-minded person. Kudos to you...and onto your next one.

You have to respect a singer who can sing rock, pop, disco, opera and he even performed at the Royal Ballet. I'd like to see "My first time hearing.... that performance. I've known that Freddie would be a legend since the 70's... I'm just glad that the rest of the world caught up!

I don't know much about Freddie Mercury; I came for the legend that is Montserrat Caballé. When did he ever sing opera?

[@peggyhenderson3695]

Joey after he met her he was in tears saying. “I just met the best voice on the earth and she’s agreed to sing my music!” He was overwhelmed. This was his passion project he hoped to complete before his death. The video is quite powerful.

She's just passed away now :(

[@deborahroderick9541]

[@tollyt7465]

Montserrat Caballe was really shocked at how pure Freddie"s voice was when he asked her to sing this with him. He sung both parts when he took the song to her, and she said yes immediately after hearing him sing. Before that she was unsure if his voice would be up to it..

[@Noblemiss]

True fact!

[@makaveli201071]

i dont think she really knew who freddie was, and she had all the right in the world to feel how ever she felt.

[@irisocton6386]

[@tollyt7465]

Richard Stiles you really don't know who she is do you.. at the time she was the premier female opera singer in the world, so don't denegrate her talent through ignorance. I'm a huge queen fan, saw them live on numerous occasions, both together and individually, plus have every single and album they releasrd together and individually, so I do know a bit about them. People who try to put down what they know nothing about are the most ignorant. Freddie had problems with his voice on occasions pure as it was.. Montserrat Caballero trained hers from her early teens, and helped Freddie when he had problems with his as they became great friends.

[@hollyodell4012]

@@tollyt7465 yeah, as a trained opera singer, who wasnt really aware of him, it makes sense she might be a little skeptical about singing a duet with someone who's known for singing rock. That kind of vocal range and power and phrasing takes most people many years to master. She was immersed in the world of opera. The fact that she was willing to step out of that world and collaborate with a rock idol was actually very broad-minded of her. Probably a lot of snooty opera singers that wouldn't have even considered it. I think they were probably honored to sing with each other.

[@michelledann7824]

Freddie wrote this operetta for her; to get her to sing with him. When you began this "reacts to Queen" experiment, did you think for a moment that this one band would, or indeed even could, take you on grand tour of so many genres of music? Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Opera, Pop, Spoken Word, Rockabilly, Classical, Crooning, and so many many more. This... THIS is why Queen was and still is so beloved 50 years later.

[@bertpadberg7568]

[@spanitaliangirl]

Joey, I’ll bet when you began this journey you didn’t imagine you’d be sitting here listening to opera! LOL. That’s the journey Freddie is taking you on, as he took us all when he was alive. Backstory: Freddie was a lover of opera (and ballet) and attended live performances. He saw the Spanish diva Montserrat Caballe on stage and was enamored with her talent. He expressed an interest in collaborating with her. She got wind of it and contacted him, set up for them to meet in Barcelona (hence this song which Freddie wrote about that meeting), they stayed up through the night into the wee morning hours, talking and singing. Freddie thought she might agree to collaborate on one song with him. Well, she fell in love with him right there and then. She asked how many songs were on an album, Freddie said around 10 or so and she said let’s do an album together! Freddie was like, oh sh*t! Now I have to write an entire operatic album! 🙀 The album is also titled Barcelona. The rock/opera crossover had never been done at that point before. Freddie and Montserrat were the first and made music history. Imagine a clean-shaven Freddie in a killer tuxedo on stage with Montserrat in her flowing gown singing that song as in the video. Leave it to Freddie.

[@neuralmute]

You can really see in the video how much they enjoy singing together, and how well they play off of each other. And yes, Freddie looks amazing in that midnight blue tux, while Montserrat floats about in her pale blue, covered with sparkling crystals. They compliment each other so well!

Monserrat Cabelle said that Freddie could slip from low notes to high notes easily. Freddie had the range of at least 4 octaves. Many said he could rival some of the best opera tenors. I think he could have sang numbers from a phone book and made it sound beautiful. I get chills just listening to him.

[@celesteking5823]

I'm Freddie Mercury's biggest fan & have been studying him since the 70's. The album "Barcelona" w/ Monserrat Caballe (the top operatic soprano in the world); was written entirely by Freddie Mercury. Monserrat just came and sang her parts for the recording. But when she couldn't be there for a performance... Freddie sang her soprano parts as well as is own Baritone parts. That's why he was the greatest singer of all time!

[@AhsimNreiziev]

A little bit of Dutch pride: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2WVYZ6MhplofaM It's from a program called "Beste Zangers van Nederland" (translates to "Best Singers of the Netherlands") where a group of Dutch singers get together each season, and then each Episode one of those artists gets to assign either songs they themselves have sung, or songs that mean(t) a lot to them, to the others and decide who did the song best. It's an essentially endless source of amazing covers for everybody that knows about it. Joey, I would not at all mind a Reaction to it, but whether you want to fit it into your schedule is of course entirely up to you.

This song was released in the year 1988 and in 1992 Monserrat sang the song at the Olympics in Barcelona Spain. They did not have the foresight to recognise it as the Official song of the Olympic Games but it became the ''Unofficial'' song of the Olympic games that year

[@Tom-ek7hc]

Please react to Queen - The Show Must Go On and also Friends will be Friends. Thanks.

[@fbp197]

I do believe that The Show Must Go On is one of Freddie’s last songs and video before he died. He did it as a tribute to the band and his fans. He was extremely weak during the shooting of the video, but refused to stop.

[@fbp197]

Correction, the last video he made was These are the days of our lives.

[@Anna-ju8fs]

paul buddy, I think ‘The show must go on’ is a compilation of all their videos.

[@Noblemiss]

I agree it was one of his last song made, but he died BEFORE the video was done, which is why they used so many pieces of film from his past to complete it. Knowing that fact make it so much harder to listen to and watch.

[@giegiebee1959]

"Barcelona" was NOT written for the '92 Barcelona Olympic Games. Freddie and Monseratte Caballe recorded the song several years before Freddies death. It WAS used in the opening ceremonies of the Barcelona games, however.

[@nunah7977]

She said on an interview that he told her he was sick and what he had. Felt it was his duty to tell her. She marvelled that his voice was so strong and he told her yes but would not always be. She said she was thankful he told her, not as a duty, but a privilege that he trusted her and that was friendship. It was so sad that he died so young. We lost such a wonderful talent. I have not heard anyone come close to his voice. Love watching the videos In the end I think Freddie was searching for God and found Him. I love the album Made in Heaven. I love all the albums.

Hi Joey. I subscribed. Love it that you're exploring Queen's music. Love it that you appreciate Freddie Mercury's voice and showmanship. Love it that you seem like a nice guy. You ask for suggestions.... When possible use live concerts for Queen songs. You did Who Wants to Live Forever recently. The live versions (like Wembley in '86) are SO much better than the studio versions without all of the instruments distracting from the power and purity of Freddie's voice. I don't know how to post a link. Too bad. There are so many you tube videos of Freddie's first demos of the songs that he wrote for him and Monserrat Caballe. In the first versions that he sent her for input and feedback he sang his AND her parts. Incredible. I'd suggest checking out cuts from the concerts in Budapest, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Wembley in '86. Comment is too long already. Bye, and thanks.
