There's no way that you can argue the talent of freddy. No way to compare anybody with him. But I have to recognize that George put his heart, soul, body and voice to pay him the right tribute. No waste at all
@markthompson96842 жыл бұрын
At a time of great hurt, I think George gave the performance of a lifetime. His vocal is almost perfect with fantastic energy and feeling. Probably George at his peak (also it has to be said - a wonderful human being.) Freddie however, achieved this every single time. Two outstanding performers. Todays ’superstars’ (2022) simply can’t touch this.

George did a remarkable rendition of this song and Freddy would agree However, this belonged to Freddy and HE just had that "extra something." He was always possessed true showmanship, with a magical range of voice, and he was exciting. When you think of all the talented musicians in Queen, Freddy's face comes to mind instantly. I know I miss both of these singers. The world lost two great ones🙏❤🙏

Comparing the two doesn't mean having to pick who was better. It's looking and listening to each singer's different style and way of expressing the same song and checking for similarities. Freddie sang it raw with power and emotion, improvising even. George sang it more subtle, taking more time with each line, paying tribute to the song by being faithful to the original but still putting his own spin on it.

He is at he same time the central piece and just an equal part. Freddie has a tremendous voice but this performance sounds a bit rushed and forced compared to George's.
