Queen & Jessie J's London 2012 Performance | Music Monday

📺 Re-live ALL the incredible #Paris2024 action ➡️ go.olympics.co...
Singer Jessie J joins Queen on stage at the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Performing 'We Will Rock You' to the thousands in attendance, the Closing Ceremony featured performances from the Spice Girls, Emeli Sandé and Take That.
Every two years, the world's finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games - a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.
At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.
Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few. =========================================

It was a clever move to let a woman perform Freddie’s part, as nobody can really fill the void left by Freddie. A female singer gives a different perspective to the song and may not be compared directly to Freddie. Also, Jessie J’s voice is pure and powerful, and she added a modern ?is it hip hop twist to this rock song. I loved the virtual appearance of Freddie’s at the beginning, because it gave him the chance to posthumously interact with the crowd, it harked back to his appearance at Wembley 26 years earlier, paid homage to one of the UK’s greatest icons in music and placed the London Olympics in a bigger cultural and historical context - all at the same time! Brilliantly done! Only the Brits can do it like that.....(I had the privilege of living in the UK during the 90s before having to return to the Continent, still miss the UK, bit miffed they want to divorce us....)
