Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - How Can I Go On (Live at La Nit, 1988 Remastered) [REACTION]

[@1944bwa]

Montsy said the year she worked with Freddie was the happiest of her life.

[@jorzenn]

I was fifteen years old that day. I perfectly remember the excitement over the concert and the fact that the city was chosen for the next Olympic Games in 1992. That concert was celebrated for it. From the base of the Venetian towers I could see this masterpiece. Today, when I walk by the fountains I can feel the same magic as that day. I cried when Freddy died, for the end of Queen and for never seeing that duo again at the Olympic opening show with our Montserrat and our city in the background. By the way, I recommend listening to the entire "Barcelona" album... I've loved it all my life... Thank you for remember them. Very beautiful reaction ❤

[@rolandratz1]

... one of the greatest singers in the world - together with one of the best opera singers in the world - this can only be good! The song "Barzelona..." is even better by lengths !

[@hugorocha7214]

"Barcelona" that's most correct.

[@DanielAnderson-mb6jn]

There is only ONE...Freddie Mercury. He on Montserrat were amazing together.

[@pinkey943]

I honestly live to watch people seeing Freddie for the first time, that's my life now.

[@nrsvlda70]

They truly loved each other. She knew he was dying, and when it happened she was devastated. All their duets are amazing.

[@davidperezcarrasco6033]

Maravilloso,fantásticos,,,,ya están los dos en el cielo.....

Omg the cat in the background is so cute❤️😭

Rest in peace Freddie. Hope we hear your singing in another life too. Thanks for all...

Freddie Mercury was an big opera fan and Monserat fan who was one of the worlds greatest opera sopranos

[@nancybraselman6745]

She was not one of the greatest, she was the greatest!

[@howardturner1676]

Freddie was fearless which always strengthened his strong and powerful voice, the man was a awesome singer.

[@davidtullis2810]

They became great friends . She was one of the few people he told that he was dying of AIDS

[@gerdbucher543]

rock/pop meets opera....phenomenal!!!!!! Montserrat and Freddie

[@mirrorimages8100]

Freddie was an extraordinary talent, on so many levels it's truly unreal. His musical genius seemed to have no limits. There never was and may never be another performer, artist, vocalist, like him. His work was legendary and unmatched. I would have loved to have seen what he would have done all these years he's been gone.

[@mik9124]

Music has never been loved more than these two could express.

[@Danielik25]

Great friends and artists. The whole Barcelona album is a masterpiece. I think it is Freddie ´s finest work, only beautiful and unique songs, I love all

[@stevenbullock1215]

One of my favourite performances of all time my dad got me into queen whilst I was growing up I had no choice and I'm glad he did

[@alexandras.1740]

You listened to two legends! 'Golden Boy' is another masterpiece of them. Greetings from Germany.

[@MStanleyRoss]

The beautiful smile on your face made this worth watching. Echo all the mentions of Barcelona.

[@roleplayboy_1234]

Freddie never misses a note...outstanding!!!

[@karenbradley6807]

this is getting to be my favorite Freddie Mercury video. I love your reaction. I love the way Montserrat swayed and floated her arms about as Freddie sang. It is most definitely an "oh my GOD!" video. And yes, so poignant for us, knowing that he was already aware that he was dying, in 1988.

[@steveparker8065]

They also did a duet together called Barcelona, it was a big hit in 1987 and if you're expecting a powerhouse performance then try that. You won't be disappointed :)

[@sodapop83]

they did a whole album together...

[@Crescenttexas]

The whole álbum with Montserrat Caballé was a huge success , of course with the live performance of Barcelona... I hope you can listen more Freddie and Queen songs , hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷😎👌

[@noxeman2010]

The live performance of Barcelona was for the 1992 Olympics in Spain

[@sava9e266]

Freddie Mercury the Myth, the legend, the G.O.A.T

[@meldonnelly5274]

Amazing how you went on Freddie knowing you were dying when you sang this RIP Freddie

[@alx406]

He was a fan and got his dream of singing with her before he died

[@joanmayfield4791]

"Montserrat is groovin' " She lights up on stage w him - singing along mouthing the words. She looks at him like 'take me - take me right here - now!

[@mehdikeyha3755]

Rest in peace Freddy mercury the forever undisputed king of music 🙏🙏👍👍💙💙

[@davidalcazargarcia7487]

Esto es música , aquí sobra las palabras La gran Monserrat Caballé la mejor voz femenina que ha existido y ni que decir de Freddy Mercury Que suerte tiene los ángeles de seguir escuchando su música

[@iguarni]

Legends

[@oldguy537]

another great reaction to some incredible vocals .. I see Barcelona has already been mentioned , you should check it out .. Cheers

[@pamagnolia]

Brilliant! Beautiful! This was great. Kudos to whoever recommended this!! 😊🌹

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

"THE GOLDEN BOY" NEXT! (There's a full-on Gospel choir segment right in the middle.😁) Freddie & Montserrat (aka Montsie) had become the best of friends... They ADORED each other and making the Barcelona album together was a dream come true for Freddie.💕 This song had a very real/bittersweet meaning as well: Montsie was one of only a handful of people who Freddie confided in about his AIDS diagnosis. ...I believe at this time - 1987 - the only ones Freddie had told were his life-long best friend Mary, his common-law husband Jim, and Montsie. (I read that he didn't actually tell his Queen bandmates until 1989.)

[@jennifertaylor6197]

It's Karma that Freddie would find you. He loved his cats and they meant the world to him!

[@thelyricologist9568]

I wonder how many wonderful songs they created and sang together up there, at the Great Gig In the Sky...

[@danutaklimiuk4062]

Freddie and Montsy 🥰🥰❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

[@aliciahassen5298]

Hermoso dúo como se te extraña FREDY!!!!!

[@D-ragon-S]

How is it possible that your genuine smile is SOOOO contagious?? Love It ! You are beautiful! Much Love

[@RogueRxyce]

😊🙏🏽

[@danjoda755]

Awww Freddy wasn't a rock singer, he was a demigod 👼☮️🌹Thank you for leading me through something new to my experiences 🤓

[@pedromafra9230]

Sou brasileiro e adorei seu sentimento musical. Ótimo vídeo. As belezas que já vi fizeram morada em você. Parabéns.

[@janetschulman7649]

They are not acting. They adored each other.

[@andrey22683]

Irrepetibles, únicos!! Cada día brillan dos estrellas más en el cielo gracias a ellos ❤

[@juliananelson475]

Suggest Freddie Mercury's Exercises in Free Love.. which he wrote, and sang- as a demo for the song to be sung as a duet Enseuno.. with Montserrat-- check out the English translation of the beautiful lyrics.. Exercises in Free Love is Freddie basically doing the whole thing solo and fun to hear first before you hear the same melody as duet

[@denismcnaney417]

I loved watching this good looking young lady enjoying this video.

[@deborahbryan3639]

Btw I've already watched this particular video of yours 3 times. I am so excited that you love this song as much as I do! Nobody could have done this performance better justice than your reaction to it!

[@RogueRxyce]

Thank you!! It was a super enjoyable song for me to listen to as well 😬

[@marilynsmith9758]

Loved your reaction! Suggest you react to Barcelona……it is so fabulous! Montserrat was a Spanish opera diva who was a star in her own right. Freddie absolutely loved her and was thrilled (and nervous) when she wanted to meet with him. He thought maybe they could do one song together and it was she who suggested they do an entire album, which they did. It is called Barcelona, after the title song and Montsy’s hometown. The song Barcelona was written for the 1992 Olympics which were held in Barcelona.

[@Alwaysdoubt100]

These is the most beautiful song ever. Ps. You are gorgeous! Lovely smile.

[@HammerAl66]

As brilliant as this is, if you want to see a performance of unbelievable talent & emotion, you just have to listen to them sing BARCELONA. It was originally made with the intention of performing it at the opening ceremony of the Barcelona 92 Olympics, sadly Freddie never lived long enough.

[@HammerAl66]

Trust me when i say, BARCELONA is truly epic. 👍🏻

[@barbaramendoza2202]

It WAS performed at the Barcelona Olympics. Montsy sang live with Freddie singing on video on a screen. She also did the same thing for a Big Soccer Match. 😊

[@HammerAl66]

@@barbaramendoza2202 Yes, i know it was performed, but i meant they were both supposed to perform it live but sadly it wasn't to be.

[@reneejwaters]

Barcelona is just breathtaking.

[@HammerAl66]

@@reneejwaters 100% 👍🏻

[@barbaramendoza2202]

This and GUIDE ME HOME are my 2 favorite songs Montsy and Freddie did together. Their voices are just soooo beautiful together!! Also, please listen to EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE (no video). It is Freddie on a demo showing Montsy the melody for the song he’s written (which was to become ENSUEÑO). Freddie’s amazing range will absolutely floor you, I promise!! (and Montsy told him he’s actually a baritone singer, but he never sang as a baritone except in Ensueño). Loved your reaction!! 😊

[@johnsmith-es7zk]

Try "The Golden Boy" too. These two are awesome.

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

YESSSS... I. LOVE. "The Golden Boy"! ALSO "Excercises In Free Love" and it's follow-up song "Ensueno"! (Freddie sings SOPRANO solo in the first one; the second is their duet w Fred singing OPERATIC BARITONE to Montserrat's soprano.)

[@JohnHazelwood58]

my fav as well :-)

[@marie-joseepaulzak1936]

Now you must listen to “Barcelona” by those 2. Even more phenomenal!

[@Damalatorian]

1 year too late.... If you like Freddie Mercury then I love you! Best part of this part is that Freddie basically just watched a performance this one time and heard Montserrat Caballé sing and wanted to make music with her. I have always loved the album where this song is present but I have a special part of my heart for their song Barcelona... so much that I almost teard up when visiting the fountains where this were recorded. I thank my father for Queen and sent him alot of pictures of the area when I were there (he cant travel due to cancer) and he always break out in tears for Queen.. the only times I ever seen him cry (and I'm almost 40yo). I will leave a closing comment and I hope you take it well.. you are a beatuful person, we all see that.. but in my opinion the mole at your chin makes you more special and beautiful. Thats that...

[@marvalstith2749]

They do as intended; each a superb musician/entertainer in his/her respective genre. . . giving us an award eligible performance. And, my tears cloud these words of mine. Great reaction. Thanks. Gotta see if you've done their presentation of "Golden Boy". Hopefully you have.

[@pavarangi]

Cool! I’m a music teacher and I show your reaction videos to my students!! Very cool keep it up. love Freddie Mercury and Monserrat Caballe, they do a great duet Barcelona, very cool

[@deborahbryan3639]

Royce, Thank you so much for reacting to this song! It made my day! I play it at least once a day at full blast. It stirs up so many emotions in me! I've always loved Queen, and Freddie's songs are more than just music. He creates masterpieces! I see that a lot of people prefer Barcelona, and there is no denying that Freddie and Montserrat are like caviar to the ears singing that song! I also do hope that you'll find time in your busy schedule to react to Barcelona some day soon! You are amazing!

[@nerusskiytelevisor899]

Fredy is alive! Fredie lebt! Фреди жив!

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

If you want to have more experiences of the show you should listen to the Golden Boy from the same event. That one is more dramatic, theatratic and seasoned with some gospel elements. Freddie and Montserrat have a full album with beautiful songs which were composed by Freddie and Mike Moran.

[@lillylee7658]

They did an entire album together titled Barcelona. You should check out the title track. It’s incredible

[@Curraghmore]

Yes you should see their duet of "BARCELONA!" that was recorded in 1987 and re-released for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics (sadly Freddie died before the Olympics opened).

[@danielhagaman7601]

Remember this concert so well this song has such meaning as Freddie was dying at the time and the things written on the paper when he died in 91 just broke my heart the words cut deep for me I adore Freddie Mercury. And it broke my heart when he died they truly loved and respected each other RIP to both of them

[@markbanner6473]

You seem a bit different to the norm. Which is good. Unique is good. You don't go for. Or start off with the obvious most popular songs that have been reacted too. Which would be Barcelona when it comes to Freddie doing Opera.

monserrat r.i.p. the super diva opera of the world

[@johnnyohness]

Freddie wrote every word and the melody to every song including the scores for the instruments. The collaboration took a whole year and was filmed for the Olympics as the opening show. Sadly Freddy was too sick when the opening took place so he never got to see the response of the people. He knew his time was getting short and devoted his remaining strength to this pop/opera he always wanted to do all his life. He loved opera. Look at other videos and see how Freddie and Montserrat met. It will blow you away.

[@74mihain]

In my opinion, the entire Barcelona album is the pinnacle of his work. It is in the first edition that you should listen to it, and not in a late remaster.

[@GusGoosegrease]

I'm so glad to read this. I hate this remix. The drums are above the vocals in this re-recording. Freddie's vocals make this song, not Rufus Taylor's drumming.

[@harryatkinson1024]

Give them a watch performing Barcelona live... x

Not live , the performances are lip synced.

They did a whole album together and it is epic! My fav. track is "The Golden Boy". You should check it out! :-)

[@SeeliaVachon]

I love this album so much! ❤❤❤ Freddie thought Montserrat had the most beautiful voice on the planet. This was like the first collaboration between rock and opera. I wish Freddie was alive to hear Dimash's voice. I personally think Dimash has realized Freddie's dream in combining everything with opera! ❤
