Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤

[@davidyoung5114]

Freddie's greatest one-liner (to me!) was from when he was asked once by a woman (who didn't know who he was!) what instrument did he play in the band...and Freddie responded with 'The Audience!'

[@BisscuteReacts]

haha that is a good one liner ❤

[@treetopjones737]

Which was true - by the last song, NO-ONE was sitting.

[@ImperiusImperia]

Lovely Reaction as always. The song is really about breaking free from anything you are struggling with, not just stereotypes or marrige, it can be anything. Fun fact, the song and the lyrics where made by John Deacon, the bass player, who was a happy married man and had two sons at the moment; but everyone always think this is a song by Freddie about is sexuality. Please do more Queen, do the least know song Innuendo, The invisible man, The miracle or A kind of magic.

[@treetopjones737]

The song seems to be about a bad relationship that you want to leave, then transitions into "I've fallen in love... this time I know it's for real." Great respect for Deacon saying no ( aside from some recording work to finish an album ) to continuing after Freddie passed. Adam Lambert is a decent singer but it just isn't the same.

[@5Bip]

A song takes on a life of its own once realeased and becomes popular. They weave themselves into your life and 'speak' to you in so many different ways if you let them. Queen was the sound of my childhood as well as my retirement. The amazing voice of Freddie Mercury lives on despite his death at too young an age. His were one of the voices that changed public attitudes over time. The UK is still not completely LGBT+ friendly but is much more accepting and now I hear fellow retirees admitting how wrong there former views were! Thanks for the reaction.

[@treetopjones737]

@@theladystyle1 It gets confused with a different video that did get banned ( a video made for "Body Language" ). But homophobia was rampant then in the U.S., and some people strongly disliked the video ( a stupid time ). That show was unknown in U.S. so the satire aspect was lost.

[@paulsmith7062]

Freddie was the consummate showman. He would do whatever to provide the best show. I was fortunate enough to see them before he passed and he is iconic in voice and performance

[@stephenedwards1278]

It’s a synthesiser that makes the sound. There was a documentary done where the man who played it was saying that he was the only non member of the band on the album. In the documentary about the Tribute Concert Robert Plant says that a lot of the keys were changed in the songs as the other artists singing them couldn’t reach the same range as Freddie.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Freddie Mercury is one who proves that charisma trumps looks, and talent trumps production. Towards the end he was thin, easily tired and wore pale, loose clothes to hide how ill he was, and still gave amazing performances, even though it took days to record a song as he was in almost constant pain.

[@DWtechfan]

Freddie Mercury was a showman and he often went without a shirt and in some live performances just sang in his boxer shorts 😂. His voice and performances were so mesmerizing that no one cared that he was half naked. If anything, that endeared him to audiences because it was so Freddie to do whatever he wanted and he honestly didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Queen was the very definition of unique both in their music and in their videos too. Great reactions here!

[@imcrazedandconfused]

Funny sidenote: I once read from someone who was on the set, everybody thought there might be a bit of shyness or embarrassment involved, but they were getting faster into the female wardrobe, than anyone expected, and had quite a lot of fun. Travesty is breaking free, right? Breaking the rules ... :-D Queen was always amazing. Cute reaction. Please continue :-)

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Fantastic reaction, I really enjoy the way you try to analyse everything. This is a housewife who just wants to break free from everyday life, the dance sequences is like a dream. That is the video. The song was written by bass player John Deacon, he was really a family man, he has 6 children, Queen were touring a lot. John Deacon wanted to break away from touring life and spent more time with his family. The video is a spoof of a British soap drama called Coronation Street. Freddie Mercury was friends with some dancers from the Royal Ballet, so they were included, performing a piece called The Afternoon Of The Faun. The scene with the lights on everyone's heads was to show support for a miners strike that was happening at that moment. This video caused some problems for Queen in the USA, with MTV at the time. The musical part you are referring to was played by a synthesizer, the 80's were a time of synths. Before the 80's the technology of the synths that were available wasn't that good, they were sometimes big machines or it was more difficult to use effectively. This changed in the 80's it became much easier to use synths, and they could replicate other instruments. People loved the new electronic synth sound in the 80's, interestingly this same 80's synth sound has actually been quite popular on the charts now as well, a lot of artists today uses synth samples from the 80's, The Weekend is a good example. The synth section was actually played like a guitar solo, so you could make some of those same sounds on the guitar. In live settings, guitarist Brian May just played that section on his guitar. The 70's and 80's had amazing singers and all of them had their own unique sound. When you use autotune and everyone is taught the same vocal techniques, people really start to sound very similar. Radio and record labels wants people to sound similar, they work towards a formula. Autotune removes some of the unique features of the voice, it also removes emotion for the voice. A voice is like a musical instrument to a degree, but unlike most of the usual or popular instruments a voice can use smaller notes, such as quarter tones, when you use autotune or Melodyne you remove that smaller details or notes from the voice. They did not always use the correct vocal technique in the 70's, 80's and 90's, but everyone used their own unique vocal interpretations, which adds a lot if you combine it to song writing as well. There are still great singers and artists but you will not find them in the top 40 of any popularity list. In earlier decades the charts did sometimes have amazing singers and artists that you could find on the top 40 list. You should check out some live Queen material, Freddie Mercury was an amazing live singer and performer. Check out Somebody To Love - Queen live at Montreal 1981.

[@barrysiewert7386]

[@andreakormosnekacso4804]

Freddie was a funny guy with a great sense of humor, but the idea of getting into drag came from Roger's girlfriend. Freddie really didn't need to hide his body. 😁

[@Crescenttexas]

We have to remember that for this specific video a keyboard was used with no synthesizers for the trumpet sound in the middle of the video ... And yes !!! Freddie used to appear in certain videos with little clothing and even in concerts , Queen was always characterized as a band that went beyond music , fashion and stereotypes .

The Video was based on British Soap Opera Coronation Street and the song was about the Woman's Liberation movement some people say it is about Freddie's Sexuality but this is not true. Base player John Deacon wrote the song and Drummer Roger Taylor's Girlfriend suggested doing it in drag, Roger makes a damn beautiful girl and had many male question their sexuality at the time lol

[@craigmccullough7333]

Too many reactors get hung up on the video. Most don't realise or know that the video is, was and always intended to be a joke and has nothing to do with the meaning of "I Want to Break Free". The writer of the song, John Deacon, has actually said that the song was about his wanting to break free from the grind of touring and spend more time with his family.

[@timometsanoja9666]

This song is basically about breaking free of the stereotypes of the world. Freddie being a bisexual/gay man there was a lot of these gentle stabs at stereotypes. People should be free to be who they are and yearn to be.

[@linaskranauskas]

nothing to do with the gay people.

[@imweakfordeaky]

It was not at all about Freddie’s sexuality - John Deacon wrote it, and the dressing in drag for the video was the idea of Roger Taylor and his then-girlfriend.

[@timometsanoja9666]

@@imweakfordeaky I am perfectly aware that this nor many of their songs are about Freddie being "gay", but I view it as a starting place for a lot of these songs that are about breaking stereotypes... There are quite a few of them. They did do their music by community and everyone wrote and came up with ideas and they went with the music and what was their best new ideas. Them putting on drag here is just brilliant... Love it. They were a head of the game on many things and had Freddie's unique voice to carry the message. Also Brian May on the guitar is and was quite a revelation. He is just one man pulling that off. It is a lot of the time a wonder that they pulled off their songs with just 4 guys. The songs sound so much bigger than that, but it is just 4 guys... It is a wonder how they pulled it all off. The fact that they all saw the struggles Freddie went through is visible in their music and in the writing. The band desperately needed and rooted for Freddie to find his place and breakthrough the stigmas of being a gay man. And I believe he was a large part of today's wide acceptance of none straight people, it is just sad he did not live to see this future...

[@GilesMcRiker]

More nonsense from people that know nothing about Queen and assume every song is about (1) about an autobiographical event in the songwriters life; and / or (2) Freddie's sexuality. What's Bohemian Rhapsody about? Freddie gay! What's Somebody to Love about? Freddie gay! I Want to Break Free? Freddie gay of course! JK Rowling was able to write about wizards without actually having been one herself. The fact is that most Queen songs are not about a specific autobiographical event or sentiment that the songwriter experienced, though of course they draw upon their life experiences in composing the song. Freddie was very adamant that he did not intend his ongs to have one specific meaning, and where his songs are more rooted in specific events or emotional states, they are written in a different style

[@pinksterwright9562]

[@harris3547]

He would have on or off whatever he felt to. He led the band and he is the best singer of our time

[@ronnywilson2112]

Some clarifications: 1. The song it's about Freddie Mercury declaring to the world that he was gay and that he have a new boyfriend/husband, and that Queen are going to take on the world. Yes it's about get rid of stereotypes. The good thing about it it was that his boyfriend stay with him from 1985 until his death in 1991. 2. The sound in the middle part is a keyboard, I think a Moog or a Prophet. Both Freddie and Brian May played piano and keyboards on Queen albums. 3. Freddie used to play live shirtless. In the 70's the whole band use to used costumes and make up live, so they decided in the 80's to be more simplistic live on stage. 4. In the 70's Queen were more Hard Rock, a little bit Progressive, then in the 80's they become more softer and electronic in some cases, very influenced by musical styles like New Wave, Synth Pop and Pop Rock.

[@alioli592]

That instrument a synthesizer if you saw it in stage it would looke a keyboard. As far as the song Freddie was gay but never came out until a couple of weeks before he tragically died od aids. He had a long time girl friend who was with him till he died and a male partner. But in the eighties Freddy was a bit of a naughty boy in Hamburg and caught aids which finally killed him . I was fortunate to see Queen alone with many of the seventies and eighties bands you have on your channel and yes even Led Zep. . I do believe the music from that time was amazing . I cant explain the rush you had during and after every concert a feeling you just cant explain. . I must admit seeing those old videos brings back memories

[@subhugi5906]

You are very cute when you talk about (at like about 10:00) not quite understanding something about the song. That is part of the appeal of these classics! You get hooked by a chorus or a guitar solo or the drummer or the keyboardist. Then, almost every time you hear it, you "discover" something new. And, you can listen to it with a friend and hear their different perspective about what they like about the song. So don't think it is a negative thing when one of these classics causes you some confusion or wanting to think about it some more.

[@subhugi5906]

Yes, it was not unusual for Freddie to be shirtless. He was a great showman and his outfits were a huge part of it.

Hello, this is one of my favorite Queen songs, especially with the video. I think it's brilliant, the creativity, a bit of mischievousness and irony, although the song probably also refers to a second variant of "being free" (the sexual liberation, I would assume). 7:20 I would say it would have to be a synthesizer. Regarding the shirt (or without sirt) question, Freddy was a showman on stage, an entertainer and was very extroverted there, so he liked to show himself there, which doesn't mean that it always had to be bare-chested. For me, Freddy is one of the greatest not only because of his distinctive and unique voice, but also because of his creativity with the music and everything around it.

[@user-fz6hx6lg1r]

The idea of the video belonged to Roger Taylor (drummer): he suggested in the clip to parody "Corrie" - an unprecedented long "soap" series "Coronation Street". The series was launched in December 1960 and may even still be running. Naturally, several generations of both actors and characters have changed during this time. The series told the stories of the families of the workers of the weaving factory of the town of Weatherfield. What is remarkable in the ratio of the clip and the series is that the men of Weatherfield are firmly under the heels of their wives. The musicians chose their own image - and it turned out to be a great parody of the local ladies. Interestingly, the series still could not restrain itself and, in turn, parodied "Queen". However, he did it late. Unforgivably late - in 2012.

SUGGESTIONS: QUEEN'S FULL LIVE-AID SET kzbin.info/www/bejne/iX6ci3qVgtl5r80 (NOTE: This link is to an EXTENDED/FULL VERSION, which INCLUDES THE ENCORE done by Freddie/Brian May for the event's evening closing.) "THE GREAT PRETENDER" (This is from Freddie's solo album. In the MV, he also dresses up as a woman and re-creates scenes from many earlier Queen MVs.) "COOL CAT" This is audio only; Freddie sings the whole song in FALSETTO; a TOTALLY DIFFERENT sounding voice.) "BARCELONA" (The title track from Freddie's album of OPERA W soprano MONTSERRAT CABALLE.)

It was the 80s baby. You could wear anything you wanted. 😂

Hello Bisscute, what a Joy watsvhing your reactions. I have so much fun. To Freddy Mercury: His big theme in those years was the homosexuality and the reactions in society. He was a Rebell against homophobia and society began to accept that kind of human being. That was in the 1970s,1980s and 1990s.

[@Mithrandir7897]

Ok but this song was written by John Deacon and had nothing to do with Freddie

[@martinwagner6344]

Freddie is a One Off....A must watch is Barcelona, Opera is all I'm saying

[@andreasreinhard8125]

He turned off his Shirt often, you're right. I think it was a "Freddie Thing".

[@christophersmith2793]

Dressing as women was them having fun !

[@Robert_Fordin]

Your laugh was priceless 🙂

[@meganjperry9489]

From memory, I think queen were the first band to come up with the idea of making music videos, and so that's what they did. Brian May the guitarist was a great vocalist to.

[@lacapsuladeltiempo9040]

The solo is a Keyboard, was created by Mike Moran.

[@bluebell3720]

Fred mandal on Synthesizers! Freddie didnt meet mike moran until 86 when he did the tracks for Dave Clarke 87 mike then worked on Freddies album with him

[@lacapsuladeltiempo9040]

@@bluebell3720 Yes, you're right. I confused them both.

[@jacknjill3000]

Also, Queen had a hit in the early 80’s that I love but I never hear it or mentioned now. I’m s called “Body Misic”. You might want to look for it bc it doesn’t usually show up as one of the classic Queen hits and you have to find on KZbin.

[@jacknjill3000]

Ooops, it called “Body Language”.

[@sandrahilton3239]

React to him singing Barcelona. Best he has done in my opinion. its mesmerising.

[@gmcallsuk]

You want to take a look at Queen at the live aid concert in 1985, see the crowd react with Freddy will give you goosebumps, it is just a magical time in history that will never be repeated.

[@SmokeyJoe876]

"Is it normal for Freddy to not have a shirt on?"... The Answer is, Yes. AND, legend has it, his shirt is hanging in the same closet as Iggy Pop's. Hoped that helped. You have an awesome day now.

The trumpet you hear in the solo was played by Fred Mandel on Jupiter 8 synth.

I’m no expert and though I know this song well, this is my first time watching this video. But don’t you think the house stuff is mundane life, “I want to break free from this” Then the other scenes are exciting life. At end of video he breezes back through the room and heads upstairs, “Screw you, guys…”
