Did you notice Freddie, Roger and Freddie's friend Peter dressed as the backing singers?

[@justlaura7189]

I love Roger and Peter Freestone just makes me laugh all the time

[@karolyn8644]

That is Peter Straker in drag with Freddie & Roger. Peter has been a leading light in British musical theatre for over 50 years, in many popular productions. He even played the phantom in Phantom of the Opera. Which reminds me to ask for a reaction to Peter's Heart Be Still, produced by Freddie. It is fabulous!

[@Motown-1966]

Karolyn Hoover 💁🏾‍♀️ AND Peter Straker’s voice was one of a few Freddie actually admited to envying ✌🏾!

[@Motown-1966]

Deaky's girl...Gurl you’ve gone and mixed-up Peter Freestone (Phoebe or Feebie as Freddie phonetically spelled it on his Mr. Bad Guy LP dedication section) with Peter Straker (Serena) 😂

[@deborahcornell171]

I was hoping you wouldn't get TOO mad at your neighbor & upset yourself but laughed out loud when you yelled toward the window "Freddie Mercury's on!". I love that you appreciate that God-given voice of Freddie's. I think you'd like "Let Me In Your Heart Again". Kind of a ballad but with a lot of life in it.💙

[@Slidewayz44]

If you want to hear his voice at it's best, listen to Barcelona with Freddie and Monserrat Caballe

[@mylesc99]

I'm surprised he never reacted to this video.

[@jonaton7910]

I think also "The Fallen Priest" shows off his vocal range pefectly, possibly even more so than barcelona. Also, they are on the same album.

[@jasonsfeverdream]

his best vocals are also in The Show Must Go On, Bohemian Rhapsody, Barcelona, any of his and or Queens songs

[@jasonsfeverdream]

Also his best live performance was in Montreal titled "Queen Rock Montreal"

[@jasonsfeverdream]

Mostly the older songs but over all he was never less than amayzing

[@paulajohnson3057]

Freddie was so passionate about this song and Dear Lord you can hear it.

[@darkwolf1202]

pay attention to the lyrics. fit Freddie so much.

[@paulajohnson3057]

Yes I know that's why he chose it and why he sings it with passion@@darkwolf1202

[@qanna5874]

Yes.. Pretending You're still around Freddie :(

[@belindamelville3376]

FREDDDDDIIIIEEEEE...💙💚💜💛❤

[@lollinelson5549]

Fantastic! Great song especially for Freddie! I mean he just says it to everyone He is pretending. He has always been a real person, just not accepted into the real world because of his ethnicity, sexual orientation, or whatever. I love Freddie's courage! Great reaction, thanks!

[@НаталияСтах]

Love this song, so true to his life.

[@celticpoet21]

Such a gem! I highly suggest you check out the behind the scenes clip/making of this video, the dressing room banter is both hilarious and heartening to see Freddie, Roger and Peter picking out drag outfits and having a blast! I miss your Queen reactions. I recommend modern times rock and roll or ogre battle.

[@justlaura7189]

I love Freddie. He was gone far too soon.

[@Janetjrfan]

I see you never reacted to Queen at Live Aid in 1985. Its a must see! It has been named the number one live rock performance EVER! Queen wasn't even on the playbill when it sold out so it wasn't even a Queen crowd but Freddie brought the house down and stole the show. Please watch Live Aid!

[@LeroyBrown84]

Great reaction!!! 👍

[@merqury5]

He took your ass to church there in the end. To be expected. Freddie was on!

[@cristiona22]

Love this song - Freddie sounds so amazing. I do laugh when I see Roger dressed as a woman again - he does it so well.

[@debbiegoodman6945]

Loved your reaction to the greatest vocalist and entertainer the One and Only FREDDIE MERCURY.

[@iamnotabot6292]

The original version of the song was made in the 1950s this one was a cover in 1987

[@janettesinclair6279]

I remember the original version - a great song and Freddie does it so well.

[@ronniesmith3521]

I have this CD

[@latindance5442]

Freddie is the maaan!! Listen to "Living on my own"...

[@junebug_tx2305]

This is a cover from a 50's-60's song.

[@WizardPandora]

It was originally from The Platters

[@rvelazquez1986]

Freddie Mercury was a national treasure

[@sannaolsson9106]

I love this song and I prefer this version when Freddie sings it. And this music video weirdly makes me SOO nostalgic, even though I wasn't born until 1986 lol. There's a video with the making of this when they're all having fun and seems to be having such a good time and it makes me so warm and happy to see because he had been diagnosed not that long ago by that time. So this was probably a really fun good distraction for him ❤. It's a cover and he obviously didn't write it, but it still fits him. How he had to pretend and hide stuff about his life, like his sexuality for example, and stuff.

[@andreamartinez6929]

The original is done by The Platters, react to that one

[@xRemRooodx]

Their version is great as well.

[@sou1412]

I personally like this one more but that’s because I’m in love with Freddie Mercury’s voice

[@hahatoldyouso]

I love this song as well :)

[@mylittlemercury8060]

FREDDIE MERCURY IS ON. CUT THE LAWN MOWER OFF. GOT A LOVE IT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@brendaortiz1238]

Great reaction! You are so funny! Gotta stop that lawnmower man. Lol! ✌

[@paulajohnson3057]

And check out Living On My Own. Up beat track filmed at one of his legendary birthday parties where he sings about being lonely and on his own. Surrounded by people who loved him yet ….wow just watch.

[@concepcionlavat1449]

Divino..Genio..Unico love Freddie ❤❤❤❤❤

[@WizardPandora]

I am seeing sets from other Queen songs I spoted the Radio Ga ga set and I wanna break free set Btw this is a cover, it was originally sung by The Platters Queen - I wanna break free is a must

[@proudarmymom8657]

Also another song that has him showing a completely different sound to his voice is “I Want It All” he comes out this is more back to their rock they’re performing this in 1989 Mercury has some more weight on his body probably do the medication he was on for his aids before he started to lose the weight as he got sicker but some of his best music is from their last album called innuendo! But anyway this song “I want it all” he gives you this deep raspy voice again completely different sound tone! After you’ll really want to check out his album innuendo and react to a lot of those songs because Freddy I think there’s some of his best singing and the videos were put together later since he sang them as he was dying but when you hear him sing you would not know that he was on his deathbed again showing just what a fantastic performer he was and just an overall fantastic person!! RIP FREDDIE 💔🙏🏻

[@terrigabriel582]

AMEN 🙏

[@solitarybee3714]

BillyYouSoCrazy, I love your reaction to this great old song as it's done by Freddie Mercury and I also love this version. Think you would also like the original, please check it out. It's by The Platters, a fab group from the '50s who had tons of airtime with many songs, but this was probably their biggest hit. They were 4 handsome guys and a beautiful gal all with great voices, especially the lead singer - if you ever hear it by them, you will love it too!

[@chriswhitejr1689]

I didn’t even know Queen covered this. I’ve only ever heard the Platters original.

[@linda9397]

This wasn't a Queen song, it was a solo project by Freddie that Roger participated in.

[@chriswhitejr1689]

Linda Ohh ok. Thank you.

[@chriscollins7735]

Spread Your Wings, Innuendo, March of the Black Queen, Scandal, Living on my Own(Freddie single) are underrated Queen songs that you should definitely react to!!!! But before those....... The Show Must Go On!!!!!!!! Definitely worth it.

[@JustOneSue]

Nice!👏👏👍👍

[@leodurkin8539]

The platters 1955

[@RzuidRzuid-su7yv]

Have you reacted to The show must go on? It left me speechless many years ago. Love your reaction. And hearts to the neighbour. Be kind.

[@Vinnyzzzz]

Rzuid70 Rzuid70 it was made 6 weeks before his dead he sang it in 1 take

[@estherjaramillo6411]

This song is from an anime and the anime is called the great pretender

[@lukanovak1492]

You need to react to Living on my Own by Freddie

[@bookwoman53]

This is by The Platters.

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

Your neighbor is one of your Subscriber's, that's how he knows when to cut his grass.😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😋😋😋

[@michellezator5731]

What haven’t you listened to by Freddie? Time waits for Nobody is amazing

[@leodurkin8539]

The platters done it originally and that was miles before grease

[@01dom]

And now this is an anime ending

[@treyvader]

This song was also made famous by Elvis Presley but I think Freddie does it better

[@arrow-lo7jf]

One of the Greatest Legends of all time .. Thanks for the vid..I think Chuck Berry sang this many years ago.

[@cayleyturner3556]

This is such a great song goodness only knows how they come up with so many epics and for a change of pace you could listen to Vincent by Don Maclean.

[@reverendnumbnuts1857]

Great review of an amazing performer, try listening to Freddies Mr Bad Guy album, there really are not enough superlatives to describe it.

[@johnniekilgore3499]

You should react to Mark Martel doing a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody while playing the piano. He will blow you away. I wish he was with Queen performing, but I understand why he is not.

[@ElChuckyDelNorte]

As much as i love Freddie Mercury i love the orginal version by The Platters alot more, you should react to it you will love it, The Great Pretender by the Platters.

[@karolyn8644]

Could you react to Peter Straker (with Freddie Mercury) - Heart Be Still, the David R. Fuller one? Freddie produced it & sang backup. It's an old gospel tune, Peace Be Still, reworked with different lyrics. You'll get a taste of what Freddie was talking about when he praised Peter's singing. He really has a great theatrical voice. & his range is astronomical. I'm quite sure you will be impressed. His family was from one of the Caribbean Islands, Jamaica or Barbados, don't remember.

[@jacobreynolds3917]

Quality posters

[@vicaparecida4079]

Top. Brasil.

[@proudarmymom8657]

If you want to hear a really great song which not a lot of people would probably say is that great but it’s got a really cool beat to it it’s not exactly something the rest of the band except for John Deacon who wrote this song wanted to be a part of but when you hear Freddie Mercury‘s voice singing this song “Cool Cat” you are going to be completely shocked you will swear it is not mercury singing but in fact it actually is and their bases John Deacon wrote the song it’s completely different from anything that ever done but it’s actually got a really cool beat hey doesn’t hurt to try it so please give it a try! Thank you!

[@confusedcockney4439]

I'm pretty sure the Grease film came first.

[@Notachancex]

OMG I SAID THA

[@nancyhamilton9756]

I love Freddie and he sings this amazingly. But I like the original by the Platters more

[@ymcs5935]

How’s your neighbour now

[@andreamartinez6929]

Not me I'm as real as it gets

[@dinvinciblegbdc9398]

Did he film this when he had a mustache and when he didnt?

[@sanssheriff3829]

I think practically the whole world is experiencing loneliness now and pretending to do well :S But great song!

[@teresarogers9653]

That’s when Freddie was getting really look how Skinny his face is It’s So Freacken Sad

[@sotnec1596]

Love Freddy and his amazing voice but I prefer the Platters...it’s just beautiful

[@teresarogers9653]

Oops Really Sick

[@jeffroe6423]

I still would like to see ur options on the original video (the fox) by Ylvis

[@alexbeeckman6716]

Howdyyyyy

[@barrya355]

may you react to queen the world that we created

[@whoami6711]

This is one of the few examples out there where the cover far exceeds the original. RIP Freddy.

[@Ladyflutters]

Could you react to Crystal Shawanda you can let go su a great song love your vid btw

[@kimfield7335]

Seriously, those asshole neighbors and their lawnmowers, what’s worse are the neighbors and their damn leaf blowers. I cannot grasp the meaning of leaf blowers. Doesn’t the wind just blow the leafs right back??

[@biggeorgetx]

Freddie does a good job, but the original by the Platters is the best.

[@andreamartinez6929]

Lmao lies you tell
