Freddie is and was a musical genius. There is no one like him and there never will.

[@marcelpop5840]

Yes

[@patriciakent6728]

Best..best..Greatest..That's Freddie Murcery😍😍😍😍

[@pinkey943]

Is it possible to miss and love someone who you didn't even meet in your life?I wish i met Freddie.

[@christineoneal666]

Yes it is possible....I feel the same way.

[@paulacorreia6307]

I fell the same. Yes, it's possible. I cry every time I ear him. 💔

[@ferrreira]

I feel the same way, I miss Freddie like an old friend who's gone. I still cry for him, more than 25 years after having listened to his voice for the first time and instantly falling in love.

[@PepperPhoenix]

He passed when I was only four. I still grieve him.

[@lynnhoffman247]

Freddie had it ALL...great voice, great looks, great showmanship, great personality...just a perfect guy all around 🥰❤️😇

[@lorib1311]

I 100% agree! He was pretty much perfect all the way around. I honestly believe that’s why he died so young. He was too perfect for this world.

[@unravelingfast2198]

When I discovered Freddie about two years ago I listened to him for hours a day crying a lot of that time, smiling too but crying a lot. His voice and the depth of soul in his performances touched me so much and thinking that he died so young leaving the world devoid of his presence just got to me. Something about him is so genuine and personal that I felt I had lost a friend. He had so much more to give and we miss him deeply.

[@monikafuchs5896]

[@TammyDenneym]

❤❤❤

[@chriswills2726]

Never a truer word,,, We need him now more than ever. When you think about it he gave us the roadmap. The responsibility is up to us now. We need to carry the message of loving one another onward.

[@AlysonStatler]

I couldn’t say it better myself! I LOVE Freddie Mercury and cry too.

[@loiskondo8349]

Freddie, simply the best!

[@debbiebush5887]

Great reaction my friend. I cry every time I hear this song. This song came out in 1986. FREDDIE is the GREATEST SINGER EVER. He could do and sing anything. I have been a fan since I was about 9 yrs old. Thats when BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY came out. I just love to watch you react to QUEEN. Thank you for doing QUEEN videos. Take care and have a good day. Your friend, QUEEN BEE.

[@michelletammydenney1417]

He was Thee Greatest that ever lived.♥️

[@davidwilkinson7645]

Nobody will sing this good ever again.

[@lindaansford1852]

He was so much more than a singer with a song

[@barbaraaschwingelswihart572]

You made my cry! I'm so glad to see how much you really love Freddie. I have a stressful feeling when I see someone that doesn't really see his passion and talent, that has sucked us in with his love for all life. I almost pity those that just don't feel the true essence that Is Freddie.

[@alicefarr3927]

This song will touch your soul ❤️

[@simontyne3032]

My favourite Freddie solo track.

[@ellenmyers971]

Yes one of favorites also

[@armywife5646]

If you sit in silence throughout the entire song because you're as mesmerized by Freddie's pure heartfelt talent as we are, I don't think any of us will complain. His songs and his voice can reach deep inside and pull out emotion you never thought you had. Thank you for appreciating Freddie, he deserves only the best from us because he gave us all the best of him❤ he was judged and criticized because of his lifestyle but everybody that only sees that misses so much! He is pure natural talent at it's very best❤ God broke the mold with Freddie❤

[@bettybaby63]

Amazing isn’t it? Idk how Freddie could so easily channel other people’s lyrics and then share it with the rest of us. One of my absolute favorites. Beautiful & then the end rips your heart out. Yes that was Mary.

[@susaneuliano7692]

Laugh and cry as it is so good!!!but Freddie just puts his emotion into all,,,he is incredible.

[@ellenmyers971]

Right one of my Favorites for sure an I feel right at home with ur F bombs love that word !!!!! Love your reactions 😍❤️❤️🌼🌸💞👑 Freddie is the the F in best there was an will be an I think he was a time traveler an has lived other life's past an present !

[@ginavaldivieso6150]

You remember me when I heard this song the first time, years have passed and when I really listen the song again makes me cry like a baby his voice is really emotional, I can’t explain with words, my life would be completely different if hadn’t known about him.🙌🏻✨

[@jeansands9303]

This one always makes me cry Miss this man too much 💔👑💔

You made me cry … feel same way

[@fernandopaiva1670]

Man, you've just had your best reaction until now!

[@lorib1311]

I LOVE your reaction to this song! I feel exactly the same way about exactly the same parts! The power of that first line of the chorus just brings me to tears every time! Freddie was the perfect man! The voice, the looks, the humor, the kindness, the entertainer in him, all of it. There will NEVER be anyone in his league on this Earth again! Miss You, King Freddie!!

[@ellesee7079]

I don't know how he does it. He makes every song sound so personal. Whether he wrote it or not. Musical, film score, collaboration or just one of his own. Very special gift. So glad he shared it 💕

[@Lynn-qv2xj]

Isn't it wonderful when a song can bring out such emotion, freddie has that effect on me too.

[@dianecourtney2724]

Yes. Mary Austin

[@joannedarley1893]

Absolutely loved your reaction to this, I knew that you would love it. Freddie was an emotional and vocal genius and I must admit that I cry like a baby when I hear this.

[@alicefarr3927]

This is a fantastic song with the best singer ever singing it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susaneuliano7692]

No body no body can compare to Freddie. I'm glad you listened to this song as it is so powerful in music and lyrics. The emotion in it makes me weep.

[@mmaloneym]

That’s one of my absolute favorites. I’ve listened to it hundreds of times and still get chill bumps. His voice is just addictive. It was Mary Austin, by the way. So happy you love this song as much as I do. He is the greatest rock singer of all times. Hard to wrap my head around he never had a vocal coach or voice lessons. There will never be anyone who has a voice like this man had. No autotune, no tricks, just God given pure talent.

[@michelleturner3087]

Absolutely loved your reaction!❤️😎

[@hr6505]

I love seeing this song getting some recognition. It’s one of my favorite Freddie vocals ever! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lindastodola691]

Daaayyyuuuummmm you made me cry Dez- beautiful reaction-💛

[@janetschulman7649]

Yes that was Mary. They remained very close. She was with him at the end along with Jim his lover at the time.

[@izzybarnett4773]

You should react to Let Me In Your Heart Again (Album Version) also by Queen. One of my favs !

[@GwenCossin]

The way that he can articulate words goes beyond anyone else I know that can sing this good. He not only sings it well but you can understand what he's saying. That has to be incredibly difficult and he did it with ease.

[@eyeonit469]

Thanks to all those years in a English boarding school in India. It allowed audiences around the world to sing along in full voice because everyone knew the words. If it hadn't been for that school, would he have been Freddie Mercury?

[@bluebell3720]

@@eyeonit469 Teaching rp? ( speak with no accent) I think they meant its difficult for singers to pronounce words in the high range You have to be a very good singer to be able to do it And a lot of singers who spsak english dont sing clearly

[@vadamulder4608]

Freddie was out of this world. He was truly a gift to us in so many beautiful ways. No other musician can make me cry like Freddie. Love him forever.💛⚘

[@josie3028]

Yesss... very true

[@karenj3611]

And "Time" from this same production was also great.

[@nataliebagshaw2773]

Brilliant song and when it got brought out again with just him. Beautiful. It was like he had come down from heaven. loved it ❤️

[@The1queencollector]

Apparently Dave Clark has somewhere a demo of Freddie singing"Born to rock and roll" which is lost in the vaults somewhere

[@jpw6893]

Its definitely time for time

[@sheilakearney3434]

Freddie did a cover of The Great Pretender. The background "girls" were Freddie in the red wig, Roger in a blond wig, and a friend of Freddie's Peter Straker. It's really worth watching, especially the behind the scenes of making the video. In My Defence was released in 1986 and remixed in 1992.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

Oh yes please would love David to do that one x

[@clairesmillie8125]

It’s AMAZING XXX

[@lasuna7792]

Your reaction to this priceless. Freddie was just beyond amazing. This is one of my very favorite songs ever. The very last lines always get to me. So freaking beautiful. Thank you for your great reaction. Much love coming your way. 💜💜💜🌞🌞🌞💙💙

[@carlajimenez5483]

Awesome reaction. I love this song. As sick as Freddie was he gave it his all.

[@bluebell3720]

This was recorded in 86 before he did his last tour with Queen he did realise at the end of the tour something serious was wrong But he wasn't ill or atleast feeling ill early 86 86 he also did hold on with joe Dare 87 he did the single barcalona and great pretender He then found out he had aids but continued to do the Barcelona album but told her he had aids

[@bigmallly7863]

A great reaction to such a beautiful song.

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

Yes, that was Mary Austin 🙂 He was "just a Singer with a Song" but the best Singer ever! The song was written for musical "Time" at 1986., produced by Dave Clark!

[@i8granola]

Speaking of that watching the remade version of Time sung by Freddie would be great too.

[@ikirsikas]

I love this song so much. It comes from all of Freddie's soul. It's so beautiful, it kills. Especially when he sings "God help me ..." It's amazing !!! Thank you and thank you! This is a great reaction!

[@rockledgeln]

Great reaction to a great song, a great video, and the greatest performer. Thank you, David.

[@johnnie3Chords]

I had trouble watching because my eyes were glassed over from the delight I got from seeing your reaction ! 😉

[@rodfletcher8835]

heard this song for the first time a little over 10 years ago. ever since it has been not only my fav but also my go to when i am at my darkest he was one of a kind

[@susanengland3919]

This was written by a good friend of Freddie's, Dave Clark, in 1985. It was recorded and released in 1986. The music video was made after Freddie's death in 1991.

[@Xdreaper6958]

One of the best vocalists of all time freddie sadly missed

[@lindastodola691]

Freddie with the big wig n red costume was for the video ‘It’s a Hard Life!

[@leapierce3554]

Another emotionally intense song of Freddie's is One Year of Love written by Deacon for the movie Highlander.

[@nielsinelange765]

Thank you, Love your reaction ❤️ i love that song too, it's beautiful ❤️

[@piegirl02]

Yes finally! Haha. I knew you'd like it, it's an amazing song and amazing performance by Freddie. I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you have the time I strongly recommend you check out an 18-20 minute interview of Freddie with Dave Clark (writer/producer of this song). They were friends and seemed to have genuine respect for each other. Dave talks about how he worked with a bunch of famous singers for the musical this song was a part of and how Freddie was the only one that always gave 100% in every single take. Freddie is surprised at that and says something like "I thought everybody did that", and Dave said no they don't. Freddie also talks about what makes the "Queen sound", very interesting answer that I don't think gets quoted enough.

[@barbaraanne5258]

Agreed, my favorite too!!!!

[@lkamer1]

Every time i hear this song it makes me cry to think that he is gone. He really did just think of himself as a singer with a song, he wanted to be remembered for his music, not all the non sense over his sexuality or anything else. You honor him so much when you get lost in his music because that is what he wanted. The inscription on his big statue in Montreux says, "Singer of Songs, Lover of Life." Brian May wrote that inscription and it sums Freddie up so well. He loved and lived life to its fullest and inspired all of us with his timeless music. Even though this song was for a musical called Time, it suited Freddie perfectly lyric wise and vocal wise. This song was featured on the Time Concept Album and was not a hit when it was first released. Can you imagine this not being a hit? I say what was wrong with people, were they deaf? It was re-released in 1992, after Freddie's death and reached #8 on the UK charts. Freddie also sang a song called Time for that musical, it is a very beautiful and meaningful song as well. You should also listen to Freddie's solo album called Mr. Bad Guy. It is a fabulous album even though it wasn't a commercial success at the time. I just think Freddie and Queen both were ahead of their time and people just weren't ready for his greatness yet. Mr. Bad Guy is really good. Songs on that album are: Let's turn it on, Made in Heaven, I was Born to Love You, Foolin Around, Your kind of Lover, Mr. Bad Guy, Man Made Paradise, There must be more to life then this ( this was a duet with Michael Jackson as well) you can look up that song done with Freddie and Michael. It is an incredible duet between two of the greatest entertainers of all time. continuing on with the songs on the Mr. Bad Guy album, Living on my Own, My Love is Dangerous, Love me like there's no Tomorrow. You may have reacted to some of these already, I don't know but if not, you won't be disappointed.

[@marvalstith2749]

Words will be too much but I'm tapping in a few anyway. Teary Emotional delight here, due to this magnificent Freddie gift of voice and everything else he gave us here. Thank you Sir for your touching observations. EDIT: deleting my suggestion you'll also enjoy his official video - cause I see this is it! lol

Hi David, good to see you. This is a Freddie Mercury song, not Queen. He has a great, great, greattttttt album, Mr. Bad Guy, you should check that out. And the blond girl Freddie kisses right at the start of this video is Mary Austin. I totally understand how you fell about this song, everytime I hear it my heart just almost explodes with emotion, I have chills down my spine, and have a huge will for crying and smile and sing all at the same time, I just can't explain it, I really don't understand it myself, I just feel it. The intensity of this song is out of this universe. Thanks for this one, David, you and Freddie made my day so much better. This was your best reaction, ever!!!

[@susancooper3111]

Im just discovering you as a reactor here on YT... As I write this comment, it's now Feb 10:04 ruary of 2024 and I am soooo appreciative of yr excitement & your well developed appreciation of Freddie's voice... it thrills me how you are listening to this beautiful soul & how well he sang his songs with that 4 octave voice he has, and the sheer passion you hear coming out of him. Because Freddie was ... wait, no ...FREDDIE IS THE GREATEST SINGER EVER. I have been doing the same thing since I first heard him in 1975, I loved the passion in him. He never took lessons but he taught himself mostly developing that extraordinary soulful, unique voice. And you my friend seem to hear it better than most. Not all have enough appreciation in the way you do, most love lyrics but Freddie's voice has such passion, wrapped up in his ability to deliver his songs with such amazing talent. Your comments about Freddie truly made me happy tonight ... Freddie left so much music for us prior to his passing, thank heaven. Its heartwarming when I come upon a person who really HEARS Freddie & his passion for music. Bless you for this lovely tribute to Freddie... he is different, he is something sent by God. One Queen song, written by Brian May, Queen's guitarist, described Freddie perfectly... in my mind anyway ! It reads "My soul is painted like the wings of 🦋 🦋 🦋 butterflies...."

[@karenj3611]

This made me smile. David dear, this is your new favorite Queen song, until the next one. 😄

[@mattjenkins4551]

[@angelal1607]

Have you ever listened to “Love Kills (The Ballad)” by Queen? That song is absolutely my favorite Freddie vocal. Unbelievably beautiful.

[@barbarahamlin3284]

As a singer yourself this song expresses your own sentiments. I am not that lucky, I tried singing in a group setting once. I was told just mouth the words please, so as much as I would have loved to belt em out with you and Freddie I can accept singing when alone. My vote for next reaction is the newer Time waits for no one with Freddie and Mike Moran on piano. Another example of his raw vocals. I enjoy your reaction, they're the best!

[@dianecourtney2724]

Love your reaction on this bc I feel same way 👍💔💔💔

It's my favourit song. I love this sooooo much. ❤❤

[@nickjoy8868]

I'm a shiny new subber of yours David- your reaction was legendary, quite knocked the breath out of me as every word you said I back to the hilt. The only other song I can think of with even a hint of Freddie's emotional integrity in this song is Sia's 'Chandelier' to which I solemly believe she must have been carried out of the studio on a stretcher after recording as she gave it literally everything. The dove in the video is a clip from 'Save me' which is right up there with 'Love of my life' as one of Queen's most beautiful ballads- you should check out 'All dead, all dead' as well - the animated video is a true gem and gives me a huge lump in my throat every time I watch it. Please, please play 'In my defense' to yourself a few more times, the more you know the song the greater the impact. Fab work, loving your input- cheers and well done.

[@sharonhalliday3180]

The woman with the baby in the very beginning is Mary Austin, but she is holding Roger's baby daughter who is now a medical doctor. And yes, he kisses Mary a little later. You will see her in several clips from several different videos of Freddie at award presentations, parties, and from trips. In at least one interview from the 80's he says she is his common law wife. I agree, this is a favorite of mine as well. Dave Clark made a wise choice when he asked Freddie to sing this song and Time for his production of Time with multiple artists performing the songs The man he jumps on toward the beginning is Kenny Everett who plaed Bohemian Rhapsody 14 times over one weekend, helping to make it and Queen a huge hit

This video really show the many facets of Freddie Mercury. Not even a Freddie or Queen song - it belongs to Dave Clark and Dave's musical "TIME" - Freddie Mercury brings so much to the songs he does.
