What makes Freddie Mercury even more impressive, is the fact he had no formal voice training, apart from what little he learned in the school choir, when he was a child.

[@moanman1776]

Freddie Mercury was a GIFT to music, perhaps a gift to the world. He would've probably succeeded in most any genre where he used his incredible voice (even opera). Vocally, he was unlike anyone else. That voice was his signature. His bread & butter. His artistry. His claim to fame. What a showman! What a loss!

From the UK 🇬🇧. Love your reactions and enthusiasm for Freddie ❤️💞. They got the best out of each other. Even Freddie didn’t like people calling him the leader of the band. He always said “ I’m not the band leader, I’m the lead vocalist. We are 4 equal members/partners”. Rog, Bri and Deaky worked as hard as each other because they are a once in a life time band. University degrees in Art, Biology, Electronics and PhD in Astrophysics. All song writers that individually wrote a number one song. If I can ask that you give Rog, Bri and John the respect they deserve. Thanks. Keep up your reactions. The awe, glee, joy and wonder in your eyes are so lovely to see. It makes us smile 😊

Welcome to the magic that is Queen! I love Queen and Freddie Mercury so much, that I have an entire playlist of nothing but their music on my phone. On a side note, Freddie had a vocal range that others couldn't touch. The man was an incredible singer and songwriter as are the others in the band. Brian May plays lead guitar and wrote several of Queen's biggest hits, as did the drummer Roger Taylor who has the high backing vocals, and John Deacon on the bass who also wrote iconic Queen songs.

CV

[@msdarby515]

Freddie spanned 5 octaves and you've already seen him do a ballad, rock, blues, and opera... so "versatile" is 100% accurate. 😊 Freddie loved playing with the audience in the live performances. You'll see more of that as you watch more. Try these from the first couple of albums. Fat Bottomed Girls, Killer Queen, Your My Best Friend, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions.

[@piegirl02]

Your ears have been blessed by the king of rock :). Welcome to the Queen rabbit hole! If you think Freddie's voice is versatile... you have no idea. He had an entire album with an opera singer called Montserrat Caballé in '88. If you listen to their duet "Ensueño" and then to "Exercises in Free Love" (only Freddie) from that album, you'd think he was two different people. And the only formal training he got was in piano. He had no vocal training! Think about that for a second... He was something else. He also wrote both of the songs you've heard so far (this one and BoRhap). You mentioned his lungs. I know I've seen a video (I think from Queen's '86 show at Wembley) of Freddie jogging across their gigantic stage and singing without missing a beat, insane. Can't wait to see more of your reactions. I'd love to see you react to one of Freddie's impromptus. It was a sort of vocal improv he'd do during the shows sometimes. Just search "impromptu queen" and you'll find several.

See? I've told you that the live performances would blow your mind 🔥💖👑🎤 Those 4 guys were out of this world, and they all knew what the others would do, even if not in the alignment. There were always on point, they had chemistry made in heaven. And all of them wrote nº 1 song, multiple times. We must give credit to the whole band, they were really talented musicians, all of them. But of course, Freddie Mercury stands out, just being Freddie. His unique voice, his charisma on stage, his energy and the way that he, that all of them had to make the crowd feel like one of the band, was unbeatable and not able to be copied. Many have tried, none have got even close. Another great one is White Queen live at the Hammersmith 1975. The studio version is great but the live one, OMG, is way explosive.

Him singing Opera is really nice to listen to. 5:07 its not just your opinion but 90% of the Queen fans too xD. Btw Freddie learned singing by himself. 10:28, yes Roger Taylor did most of the high notes in the Harmonies, especially all the falsettos in Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love were him. A performance where you can really hear how beautifully high Roger can sing check out Lap of the Gods Live at the Rainbow 1974. Singing and Drumming at the same time is very hard and you don't often see drummers doing that, Roger is so special thats why I love him so much. They were always greater live, there are some songs that are better with the studio version but thats very very rare with Queen. Nice Reaction.

The fact that none of that mattered to us, in the 70's and 80's. We were so nonchalant about how people dressed, wore make-up or their sexual orientation. David Bowie and Todd Rundgren wore tons of make-up, Elton John and Boy George were in full costumes. When New Wave hit everyone wore make-up. We did not care. We just loved the MUSIC. Now people have been indoctrinated by the FAKE MORAL MAJORITY. They are fear-mongers. The crap with bathrooms, what are the chances that your child will run into an 8yr old transgender child in the bathroom? If they actually do, so what. The child does not want to draw attention to themselves. They will be in a stall. The fact that they are hypocrites is pathetic. They chased President Clinton until they got him lying about a consensual affair. Then we find out that Gingrich was having an affair and left his wife who had cancer. There were other republicans outed for having affairs. Thinking about them has given me a migraine. 😬🤯

@@Green-eyedGirl19 I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s my dad played in a folk trio & produced for a couple bands. Deep down I wanted to be a Go Go girl & then I wanted to be hippy! Glam Rock came along & I was completely intrigued! One moment I was an Osmond fan the next thing I knew I was going to KISS concerts! I thought Bowie was unique then Queen came along & I couldn’t take my eyes off Freddie. My mom loved the Beatles & was a huge fan of Queen & Axl Rose, yes!! She knew her music! I’m a conservative but do respect others’ opinions. I love music & sports which are deeply rooted in my upbringing! I’m Coach for the USA Racquetball Team & was inducted into the USA Racquetball Hall of Fame in 2013. I don’t want to be politically lectured to by the super stars of music & sports. I want to enjoy music for what it is. Really annoying! Thank you for your comment!

@@debramoore7513 Oh wow, Racquetball. Congrats for being admitted to the Hall of Fame. I was born in 61. I had an aunt Sandra who was 11 years older than me. I was her baby. My Parents lived close she would babysit me. She loved the Beatles. I remember every Friday my Grandmother would drive us to Draisen's Music Store and my Aunt would pick out 45's. We would go back to their house and dance and sing. I was in Elementary School in the early 70's. I had a crush on Donnie Osmond. My sister and I got a record player and Osmond and Partridge Family Albums one year for Christmas. My parents listened to Country Music and in the 4th grade, I demanded my own radio. That was 71, so I heard Todd Rundgren, The Carpenters, John Lennon, The Jackson Five, then we got Disco, the Bee Gees. The first album I ever bought with my allowance was Earth, Wind and Fire. I was into Motown, also. I had Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Fleetwood Mac, Super Tramp...etc.... I never went on the Rock side. The 80's was Music Heaven for me. Tears for Fears was my favorite group. Their songs are very thought provoking. I personally think Everybody Wants to Rule the World is the Greatest 80's song. I have seen TFF in Concert three times. Those of us who became Adults in the 80's lived in a magical music universe. The majority of groups grew up with us. We were all the same age. We had MTV and VH1, when they played Music. Blondie was the first video ever played on MTV. I saw them in Concert opening for TFF. Many of the groups still tour. My husband and I go to concerts as our vacations. We have seen INXS, TFF 2x together, they were in concert with Hall and Oates, one time. That was great. I don't know if you have heard of LIVE FROM DARYL'S HOUSE, if not go online, NOW! He has great guests from every genre. We saw U2's Innocence and Experience Concert in 2018. It was like an amazing Broadway Show. We also saw Dave Matthews, Cheap Trick, and Foreigner in 2017 and 2018. Are you a Pentaholic? They are an amazing A Cappella Group. We saw them in 2019. Have you heard their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody? Brian May loved it. In ten years, they have never done a song that I don't like. I hope we will get to go to concerts this fall. I actually met two really close friends on KZbin in 2007 and 2008. I went to South Africa for three and a half weeks in 2016, that was amazing. I met Lionel on You Tube in 2007. We would write to each other and send our favorite songs to each other. Eventually we chatted on Gmail, then FB Messenger. He is a Tour Guide. I feel so bad for him with the Pandemic, he completely lost his career of 15 years. He is amazing, he is so knowledgeable about everything in his Country. We went on a five day Safari in Kruger Park. If you or anyone you know wants to go on the most amazing trip in the World, I can definitely help with that after we are free to move about the World. My other friend lives in Scotland. I was going to visit Scotland in the Spring of 2020. Hopefully I will get there in 2022. Thanks for your comment! Stay safe and well. Sorry for the War and Peace comment. I have Asthma and I have only been out of my house less than 10 times in a year. My husband has an essential job, so I am home all day, bored out of my mind. I am tired of shopping online, reading, binge watching TV shows on Netflix and Amazon, doing crafts....etc....truly thank you! Lynne

@@Green-eyedGirl19 War & Peace Bahahaha! 😂 I was born in 1958!! Love the Osmond’s & was for sure gonna marry Donny! Hah! Saw them twice once at the San Diego Arena had 4th row center. Never screamed so loud in my life! Then my parents took me & the family to Vegas to see the Osmond’s at Caesar’s Palace. Only me & my mom went but a very nice man traded tickets with my mom so I can sit with his daughter at the stage!! The ticket was also a backstage pass to meet them! I got Donny’s autograph & kissed him on the cheek all the while thinking how tired he looked! 🥱 Saw KISS twice - once at the Fabulous Forum Peter Frampton & Cheap Trick opened for them & then again at the Anaheim Stadium Ted Nugent & Bob Seger opened for them. Wahoo! Ace Frehley’s (KISS) sister is my hairdresser now!! She lots of interesting rock star stories! Boy, it’s a very small world! Went to a Motown Tribute Concert at the Greek Theatre & saw groups like the Temptations, Spinners etc. Stevie Wonder sat a few rows from us!! It was so exciting!! I love love Queen (my favorite) & also listen to Van Halen, Aerosmith, & Guns & Roses. Recently, discovered T.Rex & Marc Bolan after watching the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame last year! I’m a Grandma of three beautiful grandchildren (girl 4, girl 1, boy 4 mo). Thank you so much for your comments & can’t help but think that you’d be very interesting to meet!! 😃

The drummer with the pipes and owner of the incredible falsetto in Bo Rhap, and who also has a degree in Biology, is Roger Taylor. The lead guitarist with the curly hair is Brian May. He made his guitar (The Red Special) himself along with his father, and has a degree in Astrophysics. He’s worked with NASA on their New Horizons Pluto project. And Bass guitar is John “Deacy” Deacon, electrical engineering degree and inventor of the Deacy Amp, which Brian uses to make all sorts of wonderful sounds with his guitar. Freddie also had a degree in Graphic Arts. Each one of them were prolific song writers, and in fact each member wrote songs that became hits. I don’t think there are any other bands with credentials like that! They experimented with every genre you can think of so you’ll never find two songs alike, and they were always better live! White Queen live at Hammersmith 1975 and their Live Aid set, please put them on your list to do

[@chicochi3]

In their early days, Freddie used to design some of their album covers. He also designed their Coat--of-Arms.

[@michellebarry1555]

It’s a bonus for me because you are one of my favorite PTX reactors and now you are starting to listen to Queen! Double bonus! ☺️

[@natb5187]

Same here! I was watching for the PTX and now I feel likes it’s Christ’s because I get Queen too.

[@antriggjackman6274]

Has huge Queen fan u listening to the Greatest live performer of All time. RIP Freddie

[@helencooper2621]

Just can't get enough of listening to this live performance!! Heard it..... don't know how many times but I still get goosebumps every time. To perform at this level is just simply perfection!! No computers, no auto tunes pure talent.

[@humphr1d]

What a fun reaction! No need to chose between studio and live, I love both for different reasons. The studio versions allowed Queen to experiment and Freddie was able to go full out and hit notes that he normally did not during grueling live tours whereas during live shows Queen proved why they are the best live band ever and Freddie was able to own the stage and play the audience. No matter how you experience Queen you are always in for a treat.

[@Janetjrfan]

You will definitely want to react to Save me from this same concert in Montreal. Its absolutely beautiful!!! Amazing!!!

[@dajtoad1]

It's not just Freddie's vocals that are the amazing thing. They are a genuine 4 piece band and all have input into the performances. They varied their live performances each time, especially riffing at the end. Only good musicians, aware of each other, can do that. They didn't see the point in just reproducing the studio version live.

[@kathleenohare8770]

You will love Queens performance at live aid

[@theresabeck1029]

I am one of the biggest Queen fans out there and I just gotta say I just love watching you react to their music...you truly enjoy it as it was meant to be...your smile says it all...Thank you for reacting to Queen, I will like and share every time! Keep up the good work !

[@kathleenohare8770]

I love this journey with you....your reactions are great

[@Kim-hc5si]

Fun fact: Freddie had extra teeth and he was afraid to remove them because he was afraid it would screw up or change the way he sang. I wouldn’t have risked it, either tbh.

[@carolvasseurscanu1893]

Hey. Love watching you react especially because you are competent. Freddy was unique, both as a musician, a singer but also as a frontman. You have to see Live Aid where an incredible plethora of world class artists performed for charity. Most thought showing up was enough. Then there was Queen. Freddy held 85,000 people in the stadium totally enthralled plus the 2 billion watching live on TV. Watch and enjoy.

[@LinkRocks]

Two shows were filmed in Montreal that were intended to go to movie theaters, so that's why it looks so clear. It didn't come out in theaters until a few years ago, which I attended. It looked so good on the big screen. Glad you're enjoying Queen!

[@FredMerc]

Замечательное исполнение песни! Мне очень нравится именно это исполнение. Хотя,если честно, люблю любые исполнения любых песен. Фредди неповторим! Он даже себя не повторяет - всегда что-то новое получается. И не менее замечательная реакция! 👍

[@bettybaby63]

Their live performances were so legendary bc Freddie was truly captivating to watch. They all were & yes Roger had some serious vocals as well. This is why you’ll see so many request live performances. And no 2 performances were ever the same. Your smile is seriously infectious. Great reaction. 😎

[@jennhurl]

You really nailed your comments on Freddie. Well done!! 😍 Everything you said was spot on. 🎵✌❤

[@matthewweng8483]

The cool thing about Queen is that they were so musically tight and individually talented that the only thing better than studios versions was watching them work it live with the ultimate vocalist and front man. Don’t know if you’ve done their 20 minutes at Live Aid, but they basically smoked every other band and earned the title of greatest live performance ever... Awesome channel. Your reactions and reviews are really insightful and great to watch!
