They didn't want Ritchie Valens to sing la Bamba in Spanish either and that turned out to be one of his biggest hits.

Freddie always wanted people to interpret his songs for themselves. Love your interpretation and the joy you show when you listen to the music.

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of, if not the, best songs ever written. And it goes without saying Freddie Mercury had a phenomenal voice and knew how to command the stage. 💜💙

It’s never been officially confirmed, but all evidence based on this period in his life points to this song being about Freddie coming to terms with coming out.

Wooooow, yalls interpretation is a better narrative than reality! Many believe this is about his struggle with being gay and trying to live in his truth in the spotlight. Wasn’t easy back then.

Man to see you discover Queen and fall in love with them and to share that with your brother who doesn't prefer white music, is awesome and to still get chills after 3rd reaction says loads about the song.

You're a gem Mr. V, for introducing your brother to the greatness of Queen, Yes the band as a whole but to Freddy's songwriting and song arranging prowess along with his lead guitar God and real life physicist Brian May! Big brother hope you enjoyed it it's always been a favorite of mine! Rock ON! Aszneth 😀🤘 PS:. Listen and react to "Killer Queen" Mr. V. The original NOT a concert clip! More of Queen's musical genius! 😀
