Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - How Can I Go On (Barcelona) Reaction

[@karolyn8644]

It would be hard to imagine something so beautiful, but here it is. It still moves me to tears, even after countless listenings.

[@tazmom0]

She loved him so much, she called him personally and asked him to sing with her. He was a big fan of hers too. He actually was afraid to sing with her because of her talent, but obviously he did a great job.

[@angievara7355]

It gets me right in the heart,makes me cry to hear them.

[@juliaperkins9962]

This one makes me cry every time I don't know why but I still love that voice he'll never be replaced! 😢😢

[@arundhawan8574]

Freddie's voice touches a part of me that no one else can reach and that is that. I understand how you feel.

[@lisabarbosa4541]

She adored him and his vocal abilities! You're not crazy for having amazing taste! Needed a little lift today and this song did the trick! Thanks James!

[@robinloring5764]

What a phenomenal pairing they were! Perfection! You could totally see and feel the mutual adoration and admiration.

[@orsonkaart1853]

Two singers at the very top of their game! Absolutely beautiful !

[@belladonnichazeyjane4887]

Oh she was definitely mesmorised by him as well. She loved him to bits. They became really close friends. Beautiful. Thank you for lovely reaction. Xx

[@GinMae]

Yeah - she could not help herself from "lip-synching" while he sang... they were so in love! you can hear it, and also see it the way they looked at each other.. and Freddie's tender picking up and kissing her hand!

[@deborahcornell171]

Montserrat was Freddie's favorite opera singer. He knew beauty when he heard it, & so did she. So do you, James, and all of us who've always loved Freddie's voice.💙 You should do "The Golden Boy", another of their collaborations. It starts out as opera then turns into a gospel- like song.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

The Golden Boy and Ensueno, along with this one, is properly my favorites from the album, because Freddie actually uses his Baritone opera voice on those songs.

[@margaretpino3257]

You simply must listen to “The Golden Boy” also with Montserrat Caballe. It’s wonderful!!!

[@BodoSchoellhammer]

The Golden Boy i love that song ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@milicarodic9201]

Plisss golden boy

[@karenlackner192]

Freddie & Monstsy 💕

[@GinMae]

I love that even the opera diva - Montserrat - could not resist "lip-synching" when he was singing... :)

[@kristinmelinamercury8880]

You are wonderful.....as Freddie and Monzy ❤️ they have meat in heaven again lol...

[@Ellie6762]

"Every time I listen to Queen/Freddie Mercury, It is my happy place." YES! Love you JB

[@janettesinclair6279]

Glad this takes you to a happy place. Beautiful performance from Freddie and Montserrat.

[@TheGoldbaxter]

It's so beautiful it brings tears to your eyes!

[@belindamelville3376]

Beautiful 💙💚💜💛

[@jacquelinewilliams3640]

Just beautiful listen to guide me home with freddie and. Montserrat

[@gillian4572]

I love your reaction you really seem to appreciate queen and Freddie Mercury so as long as you continue reacting to their music I will continue looking for your reactions. From someone who is 70 and just can’t get enough of queen. This is one of freddie’ s most beautiful compositions along with all the others of course!

[@pepitogrillo8263]

Caballé was so amazing.

[@paulajohnson3057]

I watched a video recently where the commentator said he didn't do a follow up to Barcelona because he realised he wasn't good enough ! WHAT ! I don't know what he was listening to because Freddie just combined two worlds and did it with an empathy and respect that is very seldom seen.

[@Sneak65]

Great reaction Lethal. Nice to see you have the connection to Freddie and Queen that so many of us long time fans have had since... well... forever. Long live Queen. Rock and Roll Royalty!

[@tsukigalleta]

Love everything they did together because it all came from their mutual love and admiration! I'll keep asking for "Death on two legs" whenever you feel like reacting to it! Thank you, James!!

[@johnnyohness]

It's so nice to see young people experience a taste of music they never thought about delving into and come out shocked by how it plays with your very soul it is so beautiful. Freddie wrote this entire pop opera. Only he could write lyrics like that and write the scores to all the accompaniment. He was a flat-out genius. At this point in his life, he knew he didn't have a lot of time left and took his love for opera and intertwined it with his great style, and left it for all of us to treasure. Freddie will live in all our hearts till the end of time. Montserrat Caballe is one of the greatest opera voices in all the world, You must review Barsolina, where these two did the opening number for the Olympics, Trust me JB it will blow your mind as this song did. Do yourself a big favor and review it.

[@НаталияСтах]

Finally! Thanks a lot for your reaction.

[@carmemdejesus7415]

I love your reactons!!! I'm spanish & am so happy that these two greater than great came together to record the Barcelona album. It's simply spine chilling.

[@ValeriaSilva-oz8xk]

I love Freddie Mercury too , my friend 💗💗💗💗💗

[@leylaelmurzaeva3227]

You have really good taste in music if you love Queen and Freddie, thanks 💯💝

[@mariadelosangelesgomezrial2372]

Es hermoso escuchar algo único, algo irrepetible y a la vez siento tristeza de que estos dos monstruos yà no puedan crear otra obra cómo esta ❤️❤️❤️ Gracias por vuestro legado, gracias por hacernos sentir la gloria de sus voces.

[@ClaudioOliveira-ep1ux]

So beautiful song, really beautiful!!

[@JohnHazelwood58]

"The Golden Boy" as already mentionend will blow you away! take care, bro!

[@nildacamacho1375]

Thank you James! Your reaction is just beautiful and from the heart! I listen to this song every day,❤

[@barbaraanne5258]

The God of Music!!

[@susanlake7868]

You pointed out my favorite part of this video... when Monserrat Caballe was blown right out of character by Freddie's voice and passion. It took a moment for her to pull herself together. Ha! Great reaction, as always JB.

[@portiamojatau1816]

Wow...

[@barbaraanne5258]

This was absolutely beautiful!!!!

[@barbarawilson6321]

This song is like a prayer. Thank you for appreciating this wonderful music.

[@janepatterson756]

Thanks you jame. This song makes me cry. He was the best. And yes she adored him

[@The1queencollector]

I adore this song, this performance was mimed though, they were going to do it live but Freddie at the last minute decided he could not sing live but still a great performance.

[@dantedante2466]

Wonderful

[@celticpoet21]

Astounding! Just perfection of how their voices blended and how a diva like her was so spellbound by Freddie! He was already diagnosed at this point. Caballe herself said in an interview that while they sang, she said she saw a tear run down Freddie's cheek. When they are holding hands at 3:13 of the actual video, you can see in his face and eyes that he knew that would be his last live performance.

[@marytreder8095]

I watch this particular video everyday - I love it! Thank you, James.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

This an amazing song, but I think this version is even better! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KQknyKeMilms0

[@jacquelinewilliams3640]

Love. Your reaction listen too Heart Be still with freddie and Peter Straker

[@joaofreitas9651]

Montserrat Maravilhosa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brazil !

[@marvalstith2749]

Beautiful . . . how wonderful to have this to visit and revisit.

[@Wonky-Donkey]

You need to listen to "Who will guide me" . This song fits it as a second half. So try looking up who will guide me and how will I go on and listen to them in that order.

[@maryperezyung6268]

Dos voces unicas fuera de este mundo, despierta en mi emociones incontrolables, tales como admiracion por lo alto de sus notas, melancolia y tristeza por la letra. En si a mi me hace llorar descontroladamente esta cancion!

[@rosariofurtadoleite9604]

Yes this is mesmerising! Listen to my melancholy blues, please ❤️

[@candeem.7456]

Your reactions are genuine. Always looking forward to them. Please react to my melancholy blues by Queen. Thanks.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Yes, the live version, it is amazing and very underrated.

[@personalcheeses8073]

You got chills. Are they multiplying?

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

That was so pretty.

[@PhantomOfSpirit]

Finally! I thought you'd never get to this! :)

[@michaelrunnels7660]

The intensity of both of them is almost overwhelming. You're right in that this was not scripted. Their feelings of the moment dictated their movements and expressions.

[@blacklacenyc6592]

In the beginning of this song, Freddie made me feel like I was in Church. Let the Church say "Amen".

[@belladonnichazeyjane4887]

Oh and next time you're ready to experience another one of Freddie's masterpieces, The March of the Black Queen. It's about time you heard it 👑💚 (official lyric vid as they never performed it live in full)

[@terrichristenson432]

Oh that was wonderful, tears are coming down. So much emotion, you can tell they cared very much for each other.

[@trish8406]

OMG This was the first time I listened to this song. Made me tear up.

[@susannasusan3543]

Thank you for react this song!!!!! Now you need to react La Japonaise by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe 🌺🌺🌺🌺just another masterpiece

[@justlaura7189]

Could you please do time waits for no one. It was just released 4 days ago and It is beautiful! Once again Freddie's voice touches me

[@pk-nn7qf]

Thanks. This is one of my favourite. I wonder if it possible you react to The Golden Boy by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe.

[@MegaSlowburner]

Montsy was his idol...go figure. Thank God they had time to sing together before he passed away. They were destined to be great friends. Almost like they were cut from the same mold. They were simply......beautiful together!

[@magomagno]

You have to react to Barcelona of Freddy and Monserrat to is the best ever!!!

[@juttapopp1869]

Try "No one but you (only the good die young)... the band´s tribute song/video to Freddie. You´ll cry your eyes out.

[@juttapopp1869]

AND "mother love"... I generally prefer the early Queen (like March of the Black Queen, It´s Late, Prophet´s song...)... but that song GETS to one.

[@gillian4572]

Hi James hope you are well. I have searched for your reaction to a winter’s tale but haven’t found it, so if you haven’t already listened to it please do it. It is so beautiful and I think the second from last before he died. Love you

[@kellywhyte9084]

You should do let me live or in my defense they are amazing x

[@gaylajens7029]

JB...I love you. I so enjoy watching you listen to new music. I have listened to different genres of music for quite a few years now, and never cease to be amazed. My playlist is like a melting pot of eras, genres, countries, and crazy music. I am also glad to meet someone that is a new fan of Queen & Freddie Mercury. Although I was a preteen, teen, and young adult when they were most popular, I never really appreciated them...especially Freddie. I just liked the most popular songs, but never really appreciated the greatness of the music, lyrics, and performance quality. Now, for about 3 months, I have totally fallen in love with Freddie...teeth and all...lol. When I found the new video the other day that was just released earlier this year, I nearly fainted! Then, of course I cried listening to it. Ya see, I have been battling cancer for almost 3 years and definitely realize time isn't waiting for me, just as it didn't wait for Freddie. I cry for us both when I hear that song. Thanks for reacting to that, by the way. I am so very delighted that you are finding joy in all this music that you are duscovering. Luckily, I have been exposed to a variety all my life. Keep searching these songs buddy. I find that when I discover a new form I've never heard, I become filled with light and happiness. Lately, I have been enjoying some African music as well as African dance videos. You should try those! They're great. Anyway...good luck on your music journey.

[@vickibella8761]

Monsi as he came to call her .. And she was his dream come true not 1 song she suggested entire album . And my goodness together PHENOMENAL! !!!!

[@magomagno]

From Argentina my best for you

[@karenj3611]

Yes, yes, yes. The Golden boy is a must!!

[@debrawardlaw4558]

This song was to be done at Barcelona Olympics. He told her he wouldn't be around. It was sung at the Olympics. Barcellona done in1987and he passed in 1991. So sad. What a singer.

[@ignatmirela2306]

Try "Guide me home",is awesome.I could listen to it a hundred times.

[@maggiemerrillsmithnh7157]

I still Love Freddie Mercury

[@andreklok6694]

Yo James while watching this masterpiece of theirs we got tears at the same moment go on with this queen journey i am riding along in Holland🇱🇺👌💎💎💎💎🍷🍷🎊🎊

[@danadams5495]

I love this song 😍 Can you do Time waits for no one by Freddie M.

[@lesliesteiner4428]

Happy place ... Indeed ...

[@sasiadams9078]

Can you react to Freddie Mercury Time waits for no one. Love you James 😍

[@SadieCo149]

He and Monserrat loved one another. This wasn't long before either of their passing.

[@queenremix1353]

I think freddie did a solo version of this song just him on the vocals, I think that version is slightly better because he sings more parts. And its slightly more soulful to listen because of it.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Yes, it is better kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KQknyKeMilms0

[@anaparada7548]

Love it! Have you checked out It's a Hard Life (Live in Rio)? It's rad...

[@cesluna1780]

Hermosa canción y a la vez muy triste

[@GG-si5dr]

Divine

[@BrianTDurden]

thank you, know you why freddie loved montserrat. i like harder rock though

[@Baryogenese]

I turned the volume of my JBL's to the max and burned down the fucking whole neighborhood, this song is amazing !!

[@RitaMalikfour]

I’m feel so proud the singers of my time are appreciated now, songs and singers of today are garbage in my eyes considering what I spent my youth listening to, Sam Cooke stills my heart , freddie was the best in every way, my day had Elvis, ever hear freddie sung an Elvis song, w o w

[@pedropoeiras6782]

❤️❤️❤️❤️💃🕺

[@lawrenceabeyta3808]

Here’s the earliest we have of Freddie under the name Larry Lurex. He recorded this when Queen was in the studio recording their first album. You may recognize that the band took clip of this and ended Mother Love, Freddie’s last recording, with it, “Goin Back”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZbTnJxug6aVjck

[@user-hs5hc7wk5j]

Keep on doing music like this..

[@ibhoge]

Please react to "The March Of The Black Queen"

[@juttapopp1869]

YESSSS!!I One of the BEST things Queen did!

[@bz4kh]

He already did, it was taken down.

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

And It's Late! Both great songs.

[@juttapopp1869]

Oh, CRAP,@@bz4kh !! I so wanted to see his reaction!

[@darkotonkic9980]

Hello JB if you want to listen one of the best mercury. Song listen DON T TRY SO HARD very last song

[@kelleeholmes9448]

This is why when people ask who is better MJ or Freddie, I always have to go with Freddie....We don't know how MJ would sound in this surrounding....could he pull it off? I don't know. MJ was awesome don't get me wrong, I loved him, but Freddie was angelic, there was just something "Divine" about him that no one could get close to being like, and don't think anyone ever will. I know we have Adam Lambert and Marc Martel, that can sound like Freddie and do his songs, but they will never have the power in their voice, the showmanship, the passion or that divine aura around them that mesmerizes people. They will always be 2nd to him. But I am a bit bitter with Marc because I have yet to see him honor Freddie, he rather does a "Look at me I can sing like him" attitude, at least in an interview Adam said he was honored to sing Freddie's songs with the band and what a Legend Freddie will always be. Just my opinion on Marc, maybe has expressed his love for Freddie and his music and I just haven't come across it, so if he has, I apologize to his fans, but if not, I will never be a fan of his.

[@deniseleger2683]

❤️

[@deborahcornell171]

I've posted this before, but for you James or anyone who hasn't seen it, here's a brief video of Montserrat with Freddie's family at the unveiling of Freddie's statue: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqeZlqN5md-sn5Y They were such good friends.💙

[@aletiscareno57]

You definitelt have to react to the great pretender ♥ Is mesmerizing ♥

[@natalyqueen6676]

I like the song you dont fool me from queen, check that

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Fantastic reaction! I love how you bare your soul in your reactions! You must hear this version of the song, it is even better! It is a demo Freddie recorded by himself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KQknyKeMilms0 You should really react to The Golden Boy By Freddie and Montserrat and It's Late By Queen the alternative version. You will love it! You are right listening to Queen does make one feel happy.

[@kimberlygrimm7007]

Please react to some HEART (A girl rock band) and Stevie Nicks!! It will BLOW your mind jblethal !!!

[@personalcheeses8073]

I think you mean Fleetwood Mac because Stevie Nicks best work is definitely as part of the band. I dare you to contradict

[@christian7054]

Another vote for 'golden boy' from me. Please. Thank you 😊

[@milicarodic9201]

The Golden boy plissss🙏

[@user-bz4fg9hf3d]

React to Phil Moufarrege-freddie Mercury's voice. The truth.

[@maylapaty]

The only problem of this song is that it it TOO SHORT!!!!
