The GREATEST SINGER Of All Time - According To Science

[@bucho448]

We love you Freddie...Thank you!!!

[@nancystowell4877]

No matter the size of the crowd, from small clubs to Live Aid, Freddie always made you feel like he was singing directly to you & you only. Damn, I miss him. Rest in peace, we still love you. ♥♥♥!

[@juttapopp1869]

I don't need science, just my ears. FREDDIE FOREVER.

[@vernonfrance2974]

Puh-LEEZ! To me Farrokh Bulsara's voice is very unpleasant but not as much as was his habit of strutting around the stage as if he thought he was a peacock.

[@debsplayford3180]

Was there ever any question? Freddie's voice could make the angels weep. He truly was an exceptional talent.

[@nanner3200]

I could have guessed the answer without the video. Glad for the confirmation.

[@tbachman7440]

I loved Freddie Mercury! 💜💜💜

[@deborahallen3318]

Queenies have know this for a very long time!👑💙🫶🌈

[@brigittetessier8094]

Absolutely ❤❤❤

[@robertacarnoli8643]

Grazie, è la conferma dell'amore che ancora oggi sentono nei suoi confronti i milioni di fans nel mondo, la sua voce, il suo carisma ❤️ i still love you Freddie ❤️

[@marciebulsaraorcutt]

THANK YOU! People who don’t understand “what all the fuss is about” regarding Freddie’s voice - if they’re actually curious - just need to take the time to listen to some of his lesser-known recordings. The uniqueness of his vocal abilities is definitely not evident in the handful of Queen’s greatest hits that most audiences hear on the radio. As one listener put it: He could sing 20 different songs and literally sound like 20 different people.

[@HaruNatsuAkiFuyu959]

Dimash Qudaibergen

[@domizianamiodini]

Freddy senz'altro grande carisma, personalità e voce. Ma chi padroneggia ogni meccanismo e registro vocale è Dimash Qudaibergen, per non parlare della sua capacità interpretativa! Non so se in futuro (visto come vanno le cose) qualcuno potrà avvicinarlo!

[@domizianamiodini]

Per vie traverse ho scritto al professor Herbst, vediamo se riceve il messaggio. Mi sembro il Gladiatore: al mio segnale scateniamo l'inferno!

[@tinasjostrand2677]

Who else is not surprised? 😊👑

[@tomasinadear]

I enjoyed this - possible scientific explanations can be fascinating and fun to consider. But we can never stop there... because the profound connection between Freddie and ourselves overrides everything. It's a kind of magic! I love him beyond bounds!

[@imocchidoro]

Queen was the best band EVER. Their versatility is unmatched, and Freddie was a magical being.

[@ROSALIECALIENDO]

And during Live Aid Freddie had a throat infection and his Drs told him not to perform.❤🦋♥️

[@fob1xxl]

Freddie was great. He was talented. It's all personal. It's all subjective.

[@Lightw81]

One voice that isn't a biological marvel is this robo-voice that seems to be all over KZbin.

[@janebartholomew-w6q]

loved this thank you and i totally agree, there will never be another freddie mercury, he may not be here anymore but look what he left us, god bless you freddie

[@joyceharkin3641]

I don't care about the science. Freddie always sang every song from his soul and with everything he had. He sang to us and not at us and we felt it personally.

[@rayjackson6917]

I'm going with the one who started it all! The one who influenced most if not all who followed! The only singer who is inducted into 5 Hall of Fames. Who could sing R&B, Gospel, Rockabilly, Country, Opera, Musicals and yes! Rock and Roll! This one man changed it all! Going from the world in black and white to full technicolor! His power to take the stage, his presence felt before even walking into the room! Coolest man to ever do it! Kind, humble and absolutely loved and cared for his fans! 47 years after his death, he is still and will ALWAYS be The King! 👑⚡TCB

[@dianecourtney2724]

YES !!! Is there any other 🥰💛💛💛💛💛

[@xochil1621]

That's because that scientist guy hasn't heard Dimash Qudaibergen singing!!!

[@domizianamiodini]

O forse fanno finta di niente. Troppo per loro!

[@David-k3r6c]

How many singers did they study? By the sound of it, they only looked at Freddie Mercury because they had already picked their "winner" before they started. They have probably never heard of Tom Jones, Gene Pitney, John Farnham.

[@HOUSEHOLDOFTRUTH]

Yep bit of a stitch up 😂

[@chiaradigiorgio1821]

Freddie was and is the best 👊👊👊❤️❤️❤️

[@sonofagunn1967]

The “science” doesn’t settle anything. It doesn’t matter if science says that one voice is better than another. People still have their favorites. Freddie Mercury was a great singer. But he was not close to my favorite. And other people have their favorites.

[@davidcopson5800]

@1:53 "The way his vocal chords functioned under pressure". No pun intended of course?!

[@vernonfrance2974]

These "scientists" better take some more classes. Dimash has a far wider range and can sing many different styles of songs. He also sings in many languages. There are sooooo many singers with a more flawless singing technique than Farrokh Bulsara. "Dimash, is considered the gold standard in singing these days. He has practically no technical flaws: he is also much more talented than Freddie. See, Freddie could never sing Dimash songs, because they are too difficult to sing for pretty much everyone, however, Dimash can easily sing Queen songs. Freddie live and Freddie on a studio recording are two different things. Freddie liked to skip difficult passages and both high and low notes in live performances, and still had his many flaws when singing live, despite the reduced range and difficulty. However, Dimash could easily sing every Queen song on the original and higher difficulty level live flawlessly. Take "The Show Must Go On." Dimash was a 22 year old boy back then and only had 2 days to learn, re-arrange and rehearse the song and could not even really rehearse it because he had a cold. His English was absolutely awful back then, but he technically totally nailed it, despite still having a cold during the performance. He immensely raised the difficulty level, versatility and range of the song by going both lower and much higher than Freddie on the studio recording because the song was obviously too easy for him."

[@domizianamiodini]

Cerchiamo il professor Herbst. Io gli ho già scritto per vie traverse!

[@markmarsh27]

Not surprising. Freddie absolutely WAS The Greatest.

[@cathyshaw-kalloo237]

haha I opened this vid JUST to see if they got this right! yes!

[@carolbaumgart3773]

Steve Perry

[@berg220-t5o]

Check out Dan Vasc - Amazing Grace, Gethesame, Angels We have heard on High, Burn Butcher Burn - He sings metal, rock, opera, etc.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

I knew it. I knew Freddie was the number one. He is one of a kind. he was born to be great. Born to be the best for decades.

[@kaylucas51]

What a performer and the group Queen best ever no one before or after

[@deborahlewis8183]

There will never be another Freddie. Ever.

[@jackdelaney3285]

Biggest surprise would have been.. if it wasnt him😊

[@chiaradigiorgio1821]

The greatest FREDDIE MERCURY ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@StevetheretiredDJ]

Didn't Freddie himself say it was Steve Perry. never trust ai to choose.

[@kathydigi3537]

I think it’s Steve Perry but he’s often overlooked .

[@dianecourtney2724]

Maybe … Freddie was a fan of many…but we’re only talking about science here

[@nanner3200]

If you're talking about who named him "The Voice" Pretty sure that was Jon Bon Jovi?

[@StevetheretiredDJ]

@@nanner3200 to clarify I once saw an interview where Freddie was asked" How does it feel to be the best rock singer in the world? " Freddie said " I don't know ask Steve Perry " . Personally I can think of hundreds of outstanding singers and I have Queen on vinyl and cd.

[@HOUSEHOLDOFTRUTH]

Elvis all the way!! Inducted in every hall of fame for a reason!

[@chiaradigiorgio1821]

He was great but didn’t write any songs really and didn’t have the crowd carrisma that Freddie did . 👑❤️❤️

[@robertleslie2467]

Chris Cornell had the most powerful and beautiful voice of all. Add to that he was also one of the most handsome and beautiful men that have ever lived. I reckon so.

[@rubydazzler]

Freddie said he aspired to be a legend, and he actually is!! As are the rest of the band, although they're still with us. Recently discovered My Fairy King. how did I miss that magickal thing, and now know why Fred called Roger the dog whistle :D

[@frankscarborough1428]

He was wonderful. He connected with his audience, love him. I also love other singers - Elvis Tom Jones Steve perry to name a few

[@eightballsidepocket9467]

Steve Perry all the way. I have been listening to Queen since the early seventies and love the songs that are lesser known like Brighton Rock or Just You And I. When it comes to range and colour it’s still Perry for me.

[@bluebonnetbunny4813]

I saw Queen in 1977 and 1980. There is no comparison to Freddie, not to mention the rest of the band is fantastic too! I saw Queen *Adam Lambert in 2023. Adam is an excellent singer but Freddie? He’s a step above. Adam is dressed to the 9’s sitting atop a blinged out motorcycle hitting all of the notes. Freddie held us in the palm of his hand in jeans / tshirt or just a pair of shorts. If you haven’t heard his quiet speaking voice, take a listen today one of the David Wigg interviews…soft, polite but with an impish sense of humor.

[@davidcopson5800]

Brian May said he wouldn't have been comfortable with another singer trying to be Freddie Mercury. So he told Lambert to be Lambert and sing the Queen songs.

[@racheotes]

Could he break glass like Maria Callas?

[@KarlBowden-xd5cu]

Was John Farnham even considered? Voice and versatility absolutely amazing. Performing, “Help” and “You’re the Voice” with the Melbourne S Orchestra, the beautiful and tender love song “Burn For You “, When Something is Wrong With My Baby (duet with J Barnes)...... the list goes on. I have heard (unconfirmed) that Freddie said John was the best male vocalist on the planet

[@ronaldmalcolm5609]

Steve Perry, Brad Delp, or Geoff Tate in their primes.

[@josie3028]

Not surprising,he was and still is the best ever i listen to him and queen everyday and iconic legendary musical genius we already know he was born for me in another galaxy talented beyond any other levels of any singer ever,for me more than Michael ,even elvis(of course he was king of rock in 60's) but in 79's 80's and 90's he was the great voice any one had on this planet he was aforce of nature cannot compare him with anyone else even not with Dimas sorry but freddie you cannot compare with nobody and see the 10-20, tops if male singers in rock or the best frontman and you will get the answer ❤❤

[@xScooterAZx]

The greatest singer of all time is very relative. Each person has their own preference.

[@domizianamiodini]

Questo è vero. Ma se c'è qualcuno che padroneggia praticamente tutte le note anche oltre il pianoforte, tecnica e studio vorranno dire qualcosa!

[@xScooterAZx]

@@domizianamiodini Still,I dont consider him to be the greatest singer of them all,myself.

[@tamaraspringer2511]

I think everyone knows that Freddie was the best singer of all time. It would be interesting to see who the top 10 are in pop music, based on science.

[@dbprice100]

I want to know who the singers he measured. Did he test Karen Carpenter.

[@bluemoon1960]

I don't see thousands of people trying to imitate Freddy like Elvis has .I rest my case!

[@cathybrewer8958]

A great singer but... have your heard Dimash? He sang Freddie's song, The Show Must Go On, and did a better job than Freddie. Or maybe it was his own arrangement. His vocals are the best in the world. Reaching octaves no one else has.

[@gingw7333]

Dimash is definitely the best of my 70+ years. The only vocalist who never gives me ear cringe on even the highest notes. He also sings to the soul.

[@domizianamiodini]

Su certi argomenti noi dears sbuchiamo come funghi 😆

[@jennifero7189]

Steve Perry

[@tommymorgan4677]

For me it`s David Bowie and Ian Gillan.

[@astraboots352]

We know his mesmerising what a legend and he knew it.

[@deanakeefer1798]

You didn't have to tell me this, I already knew it.

[@lindanicholls3370]

I knew it would be Freddie. My other choice would be Dio and Glenn Hughes

[@jacieosborne8283]

While Freddie was an amazing singer I believe you want to name the greatest singer of all time? STEVE PERRY is the GOAT!!!! There is no one better! ❤️🎤🎶

[@jennifero7189]

FACTS💯

[@4363laura]

Freddie was incredible, and deserves the title. But he’s not my favourite vocalist of all time - my choice would be Conor Mason of Nothing But Thieves. He’s not a showman like Freddie, but he has his own quiet charisma, and a sweet personality that’s very endearing, and his voice! I can’t even explain how I feel about his voice, it’s just incredible. He has a fantastic range, he can belt out a rock song, or bring you to tears with one of his ballads. Nothing But Thieves are a fantastic band, and I don’t understand why it’s taken a good decade for them to start to get the recognition they deserve, but I’ve started to see a fair few reviews recently where Conor’s been described as the voice of his generation - to me he’s the best vocalist I’ve ever heard, and I’m an old lady. This is from the last time I saw them, in February: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnjNYqF8Z7iAf5o

[@BibiNabat-gu2ch]

Apparently science has not heard of Dimash yet!

[@knowledgewillsetyoufree8753]

The Dears's strong react 😊

[@domizianamiodini]

​@@knowledgewillsetyoufree8753prof. Herbst wanted!🎉

[@HOUSEHOLDOFTRUTH]

Where’s Aretha ?

[@shiroibasketshoes]

I saw your title and thumbnail and was thrilled to think the 40 million selling late great Demis Roussos had been stated by “science” as the greatest. Professor Christian Herbst looks like him. Roussos spent much of his own money to try to have success here in America, to little avail. Freddie Mercury was very talented, but I am a much bigger fan of Demis Roussos.

[@cindyphifer970]

My vote is for Elvis

[@changlyn100]

Freddie was awesome, great voice, great control. The crowd loved him. He was wonderful. But I think the greatest singer of all time has to be Steve Perry from Journey. Sorry

[@AlexUstas-b6r]

It's a bad joke

[@JaniceHolmes-c7p]

Obviously never heard of Sam Cooke then ,a joke of a result thinks I. 8:22

[@bethchaisson2375]

I heard it had something to do with his teeth/mouth.

[@debbiemcnamara7059]

Elvis is the best!

[@James-d1k4j]

Thats his opinion and thats ok, but i strongly disagree Elvis is way better.

[@kathydigi3537]

Sorry but I think it’s Steve Perry science or no science .

[@dianecourtney2724]

True. But we’re only talking science here

[@debrajames3869]

Freddie thought so too.

[@susancraig3989]

Super voice, but I seriously can't stand the songs like Don't stop believing 🤮

[@James-d1k4j]

Freddie was great but ELVIS was better in my humble opinion.

[@HOUSEHOLDOFTRUTH]

Absolutely.., from My happiness to It’s now or never to if I can dream, how great though art and American trilogy Elvis could do it all

[@chiaradigiorgio1821]

@@HOUSEHOLDOFTRUTHFreddie could do it all as well .

[@mikerichmond8246]

Yeah, but did the assessment only include rockers? Probably. Otherwise, Sinatra wins.

[@monicaandmindy]

No Freddie ❤

[@efilrekib4446]

Ronnie James Dio ........ ''HOLD MY BEER''.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Adam Lambert is unsurpassed!

[@PuncleLeonard]

Rhiannon Giddens, hands down!

[@labigizmo]

Interesting. Although he can certainly sing..... i just don't like the sound of his voice and find Queen an incredibly overated band.

[@maryannkelley6808]

Not sure how a band that can nail any genre easily can be considered "overrated". Queen has something for everyone and if you haven't found that then you haven't listened to enough of them.

[@kathydigi3537]

Me too . They are good but not as good as everyone thinks . Just my opinion

[@FloydMaxwell]

I don't really get it, but at least it wasn't Robert Plant. I'd have gone with Ian Gillan.

[@ianraymondback]

Elvis presley is definitely the best
