Freddie Mercury believed that she had the most beautiful voice... They did a duet together. Called "Barcelona."

[@plutao_pt]

Christine Poff and she has, only a great one to know another equal... for me the ultimate duet in heaven is Pavarotti and Freddie

[@christinemarie4486]

plutao I could listen to Freddie Mercury sing, all day every day. He was certainly before his time. I don't know that there could ever be a duet quite as pronounced and beautiful as Barcelona. Back in a time when music had substance. Living in a Country that snubs a magnificent band like Queen a Grammy, but awards Taylor Swift. Should be a crime really. But I could be biased; as Freddie Mercury hasn't done anything musically that I don't like. He was truly a genius.

[@plutao_pt]

Christine Poff in USA Queen was too underrated, in special after the álbum The Works

[@christinemarie4486]

plutao I know... The US MTV refused to play Queens "I want To Breakfree" music video because they were dressed in drag...Brian May said in an interview that was really what hurt their career in the U.S. Fucking stupid. We didn't even induct Queen in the music hall of fame for at least a decade following Freddie's death. If that doesn't tell you how corrupt our music standards/industry is, nothing will.... Blows my mind that Bohemian Rhapsody was the first rock song ever over 6 minutes long, commercially successful, had tons of air time, yet Beyonce, Kanye West, and other non worthy hacks have taken over 15 to 20 Grammys home? I smell intolerance for ones lifestyle choices rather than anything constructive. Says a lot about a band with a lead vocalist (with an almost 5 octave range) have a song over 6 minutes long make its way back to a top 10 music chart status because a stupid SNL spin off played it in a scene of a movie! All the while it was written by Freddie in the mid 1970's, and Freddie had fatally succumbed to an Aids related illness 2 to 3 years prior to the premier of Waynes World. "We are the Champions" "Another one Bites the Dust," and "We will Rock You" are widely used and recognized at sports events all over the world. I had to memorize Another One Bites the Dust on Clarinet for marching band in high school. Played it at every football game. "Gold digger, and Single Ladies" will not be a legacy.

How Humankind Came To Be “...Since it’s the new year, I should have said a few festive words that everyone likes to hear, but I see danger is getting closer and closer to mankind. Because of this, Gods and Buddhas asked me to tell all beings in the world a few words that the Gods wish to say. Every word reveals heavenly secrets, and the purpose is for people to know the truth and be given another opportunity to be saved.” * Why the Creator Seeks to Save All Life “...The Creator is the Lord of all gods in the cosmic realm, and He is the maker of the Lord of all lords, and the King of all kings. He commands all beings, including all humans, gods, and things in the Three Realms, which He has created. His love is the ultimate holy grace for sentient beings!

When he said, Tosca, she agreed that she preferred that role as well. What a lovely lady!

Alan Mundy Some people are delusional. She’s incredibly amazing especially for someone her age and she’ll improve over the years but as of right now, she’s not the greatest voice and people will have to accept it. But she’s very talented and I believe in her, thank God we still have young people who’re still interested in opera.

[@renzocavani6524]

"Our time" includes Maria Callas?

[@Icedmindblow]

@@renzocavani6524 well, if we are talking pure opera singing prowess, yes. Yet, I still like to remember Montserrat as the person who, thanks to Freddie Mercury (in my opinion, I felt that way), had this marvellous chance not only to be free to express herself far away from the rigidity that is Opera but also to introduce this form of singing to generations far beyond the times where anything but opera/classical music was considered 2nd class art at best. And let's be honest, Montserrat's quirky being would let any sane man fall in love, she was just that adorable.

She doesn't even look like it's difficult for her. What a talent.

[@jewelmarkess]

Her voice is incredibly beautiful, but as far as opera arias go, it's actually among the easiest technically, it's difficulty more in making it really smooth and in interpretation. But technically, it's not difficult. Listen to how she sings Preghiera from Maria Stuarda when she holds to a long note while the orchestra sings phrase after phrase, or Casta Diva. Opera singers are professionals, they are supposed to make it seem easy; otherwise, they are unemployed, kind of like ballet dancers who make everything look easy. They are also singing in 2-5 hour performances without a microphone and over an orchestra which is much more difficult than singing an aria in concert, and Montserrat Caballe is among the best sopranos ever, a legend.
