FIRST TIME HEARING THE MIRACLE BY QUEEN - reaction video!

[@LinkRocks]

"That time will come, one day you'll see, when we can all be friends." Such a simple, but beautiful line. I always loved that ending.

[@pedrorodriguez2755]

Its from "Friends will be friends" that ending part.

[@dsc4u]

My fav line as well, with that guitar giving you the last hope of happiness…

This clip always gives me goosebumps Brian May himself years later said that this was one of Freddie Mercury's most beautiful works

[@kevinhendon]

Ross McCall is a British actor best known for his roles as T-5 Joseph Liebgott in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and Matthew Keller in the hit series White Collar, as well as the role of 'kid' Freddie Mercury in the music video for the Queen single "The Miracle".

...and he was engaged to, "Jennifer Love Hewitt", for a quick minute. Me and my family accidentally scared her out of a restaurant twenty three years ago when she was dating/with, Carson Daly. I couldn't stop smiling at her and then on top of that I waved at her. That did it and she was gone dragging, Carson, out looking back at us wonder what in the hell I/we did to upset her so much. There was no one in there but them, me, and my family when I was 22 years old.

[@marvinhull4934]

Not sure if you noticed when Freddie hugs mini-Freddie near the end of the video. I think that was entirely spontaneous, and such a precious moment to capture on film! Really heartwarming. Great reaction, Doe! (from Lise Hull)

[@DoeDarling]

I loved that bit, so adorable

[@davidburn4601]

So many Queen songs have an important message for all of us. From Liar, and Son and Daughter on Queen I, Father to Son and The Loser in the End on Queen II, White Man on A Day at the Races, It's Late on News of the world, and so on and on and on (way too many to itemise here), for every album up to this fabulous track, then The Show Must Go On, and the absolutely epic Innuendo. Listen to the lyrics of pretty much every and any Queen song, and there will be something in there to reflect on. And their music and musicianship speaks for itself - how blessed are we to have lived in their time and experienced their genius!

[@kiadunkerley3873]

Agree with you 💯 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@bastardsecretaryfromhell3504]

The Miracle is the absolute best Queen video ever. Watching it you just have to smile. Brian once said it is one of his favourite Queen songs because the lyrics and melody are so beautiful yet Freddie who wrote it was in pain and knowing the end was coming. There‘s a making of the miracle btw. Loved your reaction. ❤️

[@LMTino]

Packs a wallop of a message in a sweet package. Constraints around Freddie's health provided new venues for creativity. Agree that the John-Freddie combo is something special.

[@YourBeingParanoid]

34 years later - I still cry too 🥲

[@fryke]

The kids were chosen so well, and given perfect choreographical instructions. It never looks like synchronized dancing either, it just looks like you have to size-versions of each person on stage in the end part. Plus the song's quite beautiful as well. Should've just watched it a second time - or rather just listened to it. The song went a bit under, which is perfectly understandable for a first viewing, of course. :)

[@DoeDarling]

Yes exactly! They were amazing! Yeah I gave it another listen to really appreciate the music as I realised the video had distracted me somewhat

Young Freddie Mercury pursued an acting career and played an important role in the award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers.

[@debramoore7513]

OMG!! ☺️ Such a great & adorable video!! Brian commented that he thought this was one of Freddie’s finest compositions! “But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling … it’s a miracle”. 😁💝💐🌿💐

[@DoeDarling]

That's great Bri speaks so highly of it, I think it's fab too!

[@celticpoet21]

Adorably priceless! Those kids playing the band members were so lucky! I loved it when the real band members came out standing beside the kids like proud daddies! I love the little mini-tour of the different styles and looks Freddie took on over Queen's history. The long hair and the harlequin catsuit in the early to mid 70's up till '77, the leather biker look in the late '70s, the iconic 1985 Live aid look, and the yellow military jacket he wore after. Brian and Roger did a series of music audio commentaries some years ago and their talk about the Miracle was too cool and hilarious. Brian has often said that of all the songs Freddie wrote, "The Miracle" is his favorite, such a beautiful, positive message when Freddie's life is taking a tragic turn. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bni5aWVvr9yjeM0

[@DoeDarling]

like proud dads exactly! it was so cute

[@elkevera]

Now you made me cry. Thank God Freddie is still around in spirit. ☮

[@maxpower3698]

The kids auditioned via the Queen Fan Club back in the day as it were, & apparently Freddie asked if they could go on tour instead of themselves which is very poignant considering the video was shot in November 1989

[@DoeDarling]

These are the days was played at my grandmother's funeral, always makes me cry that one!

[@gen81465]

Over 6000 kids auditioned for this. All of them had to be able to sing and play the instruments. The young Freddie Mercury was Scottish actor Ross McCall.

[@aleksanderfinstad5785]

I think this music-video is beautiful, but the lyric to this amazing song are even better ❤ At the end of the video, when both the kids and the band share the stage with joy. Always makes me cry in tears ❤

[@ladida1031]

Watched this 1987 in the GDR on West German Tv.....which we weren’t supposed to watch......and I fell in Love , being a Kid myself, with the “Cute Girl” in the Video.......when my Best Friend told me later when I talked to him about the Video “ Florian, that is a Boy”....a little bit Confusion for that 8 year Old East German!😄 The BlackWhite Bodysuit outfit....with the Long Hair.....was a Girl for me when I watched it first. Became a Huge Queen Fan back then......I love the first Guitar Solo from Brian May here. 3:38

[@nrsvlda70]

Thank-you for discussing what the words to this song meant.. the video is amazing, and the kids were great. But.. Freddie was making a point, as he very often was!!

The music video for the song features four young boys performing as Queen on stage: Paul Howard as Brian May, James Currie as John Deacon, Adam Gladdish as Roger Taylor, and a then-unknown Ross McCall as Freddie Mercury. Throughout the video, McCall appears as four different incarnations of Mercury: 1977 Freddie (long hair with a one-piece black and white Harlequin spandex leotard), 1978-1979 Freddie (leather pants and leather jacket, and although he is portrayed with a moustache in the video, Freddie never wore his full black leather outfit with his moustache), Live Aid 1985 Freddie (white tank top, Adidas shoes, jeans), and 1986 Freddie (Iconic yellow jacket with track pants). Queen themselves appear only near the end of the video. It was filmed in London, at Elstree Studios in November 1989. According to Roger Taylor, Mercury joked about sending the boys out on tour instead of them because of how well they did in the video. According to a story in a 2011 issue of rock magazine, NME Paul Howard, who played the part of Brian May, is currently facilities manager at LegoLand in Windsor, UK.

[@debramoore7513]

Hey Doe!! Freddie’s lyrics include mentioning Test Tube babies …. So I did some research and the scientist who created test tube fertilization (so to speak) is British! The first test tube baby was born in 1978! Ross MCall (Freddie) is a Scottish actor who played in the pop series Band Of Brothers! He also dated Jennifer Love-Hewitt (Ghost Whisperer)… fun fact!

[@neil930]

Love this song from a great album. Love to know where and what these kids are doing now. You look beautiful as ever Doe 😍

As I recall the kid who played Freddie would go on to play Leibgott in the HBO mini series Band of Brothers.

Great choice Doe!!! Another very happy Queen song!! It makes me cry too :) I think you'd love the Days Of Our Lives documentary. Speaking of... the song "Those are the days of lives" is another tear jerker from Innuendo.... As for my favorite video... It's a Hard Life is wonderful for it's visuals and costumes. Great song too.

So hard to believe that this song/video is some 33 years old. The song itself is a beautiful song with such a poignant message. Thanks so much! ☮

[@fryke]

To me it's the perfect answer to all those Michael Jackson and "stars for whatever" "let's all care for the world" type songs, because it succeeds, where basically all other attempts have too high an amount of cringe. This has no cringe, it's simply perfection for that message.

[@philfitnesspt6139]

Why are those songs cringe? They carry a important message I see nothing cringe in trying to inspire people to make the world a better place. Strange comment.

Yes, the same children, who auditiined... bit like Harry Potter auditions. They were chosen so well. Think "young Freddie" was a young boy from Glasgow. Long time since I've seen this, and I found it so emotional. Freddie was in pain, so a great way to put across Queen, whilst Freddie was ill. Yes, I'd love to know where "Young Queen" boys are now. There were articles in the newspapers at the time. Loved your Reaction. 👍
