Freddie Mercury - The Great Pretender (Official Video Remastered)

[@larsondarcy101]

This man kept his illness private and never once looked for any sympathy. He did this video while being in a lot of pain and on top of that he never shared his diagnosis with the media, because he didn't want it to overshadow the band's music. The music was all he cared about. He wanted to touch his fans and share his gift and this is what we need to celebrate about his life.

[@nitishvaidya3511]

True. He was a performer, and he died as a performer. A great icon.

[@tonyei353]

So true. And knowing now what we know about AIDS you can definitely tell he is right at the initial stages of it where the Steroids add size to the face. The fact that, according to Roger, he would go into the studio in his later years, record three takes of lyrics, and tell the guys to use the best one is a true testament that it was much more important for him to churn out as much music as possible vs having anyone have concern about his illness. He has and will continue to stand the test of time. He is always going to be the standard.

[@AmGona]

Darcy Larson he wasn’t in a lot of pain for say... he didnt have aids yet in this video, he was in the same state as during the magic tour so he was bad yet in this video... he did this video just after figuring out he got hiv and has had it for a while (probably since 1982)

[@ofekool225]

@@AmGona this video is from 1987, the year he discovered he had aids. However, his illness was still in an early stage, so I believe he wasn't suffering from it back then.

[@AmGona]

@@ofekool225 i thought this video was from when he first got HIV... also people have said hhe might have contracted it in new york in 82 as he was already showing HIV symptoms, but this video was the period right before he got AIDS, i think a month or two

This is so haunting. At the time it must have seemed to the public that this video was all about Freddie's ego, but in hindsight it was him dealing with his own mortality and celebrating all he'd accomplished. I heard in an interview that he covered this song because it spoke to his role as a 'pretender', meaning the stage personas he created. But, it seems to have another meaning too, that he was struggling with his awareness of his illness and hiding it. "Pretending that I'm doing well." This video makes me feel like he was trying to find ways to say goodbye to all of us. He stayed so positive til the end.

[@nyles66]

I knew that. Wasn't sure what you meant by "cover". In my opinion, he did a better job than the Platters and I also love them.

[@sirBrouwer]

@@nyles66 finding it better or not is subjective. a cover means that the person covering the song is not the person the song writer had in mind when they wrote the song. A good example is every recorded version of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d minor is a cover as Bach initially wrote it so he him self could play it. You also have different versions of a cover. you have a 1 to 1 cover of a song. using the exact same instruments and all to get as close to the original as possible. you have covers were like in this song the musicians use different instruments and (counting Freddie's voice as a instrument) you also have covers where musicians add parts to the song . then you have musicians that will use part of a song and/or melody and make a new song on top of it. to the extreme of using a song in such a way that it becomes it's own thing all together. where you could even question if it's still a cover or has become it's own thing.

Discovering him reawakened my passion for music and to hear and see him immortalized on video at my fingertips makes me feel he is still near.

[@DWtechfan]

@@cjmorton2436 I didn’t really get into Queen until the late 90s/early 2000s. I wasn’t even aware Freddie Mercury did solo songs and an album, but I like his solo work as much or maybe more than all the Queen albums. Mr. Bad Guy had songs that I play on my Apple Music daily. It’s really sad that Freddie says he’s lonely in “The Great Pretender” and again in “Livin’ On My Own” and it paints a picture of a man much deeper and self aware than his stage persona. If Freddie had made more solo albums, there’s no telling how many dozens of great songs we’d have gotten. I’d easily put Freddie Mercury as the top pure vocalist and performer of all time.

[@cjmorton2436]

@@DWtechfan I know right. It would’ve been amazing.

You can just tell, If Freddie was still alive he’d be liked by everyone today. He had such an adaptable and open personality, open to change and had a lot of plasticity. If he was stil alive today, he’d give all performers a challenge.

He'd very likely have been knighted at this point, just like Sir Elton John and (naturally) Sir Brian May.

[@terryhollis6055]

Freddie and I were born around the same time. In 1955, when R&R and doo wop were in their infancies, I can imagine Freddie becoming aware of 'The Great Pretender' by the Platters. However, I cannot imagine him foreseeing how he would give new meaning to the lyrics years later. Each are magnificent in their own way and in their own times. I rank Freddie and Queen with Elvis in my lifetime with music.

there is no doubt in my mind, that as a performer myself, my idol is, and always will be Freddie Mercury. A mere "R.I.P." does not do a man like him justice, Legends like him don't die.
