Love your comment, love the way you speeking and love you..good job
We all love reaction videos, especially by people who can explain what see hear.
If you try an open back headphone you can leave it on when you talk :)
Greatjop , from middle east , keep it up 😍
Thank you Linor for this lovely video ❤️
Yes, I enjoy your perspective. I'd like to see your reaction to Freddy and Monserat singing Barcelona... something closer to your wheelhouse.
Queen had a drummer with a better voice than the lead singer of many bands.
Aye, Roger had an excellent singing voice.
nah
@@TonyDracon wrong, listen to I'm In Love with My car- note most of the very high notes in Bohemian Rhapsody and a lot of other songs are Roger Taylor. when live and freddie was ill/had a throat problem, roger would back his voice
Wtf actually? I gotta see for myself
Yes Excepted Genesis probably
Queen sounded better live than most bands in the studio. No Auto Tune, no editing, no computer software crap. They didn't need any of that.
Queen live sounded better, the only artist who can do it
Queen live sounded better than the studio🙄 harsh truth
@@StMimin Not freddie. He objectively sounded better in the studio because he’s hitting the high notes there and not live (not criticising, just stating a fact)
@@badgasaurus4211 yes, you're right cuz when they toured they did a lot of shows and one show's like 2 hours straight queen songs🙄 it's very difficult to do cuz those are some of the hardest ones to do live and so that he had to save his voice for the next concert he dodged some notes and changed its melody but in studio, he's free to do anything he wanted to do vocally that's why he hit a lot of high notes (above C5) in studio rather than live.
@@jibingeorgekarickom Tell me something I don’t know.
He’s Freddy Mercury. There ends the critique. An Einstein for the art. Once in a generation. Few come close.
no, he's FREDDIE mercury! 👑✊🇬🇧
@@johngraham5996 Ack! People mispronounce and misspell my name all the time.....
@@clymdodds1020 ahh but you're not a legend.....or are you? 🤔 go on Clym surprise me? 😜 👑✊🇬🇧
So true!
@@johngraham5996 I'm just another voice on the internet. Legends are funny things: they get embellished altered and change over time. All we need to be thankful for is being here when it all began... (not where it all eventually ends up). :D
Freddie's style was a magnificent jumble of glorious imperfections, demanding our attention and respect. He was not meant to be a refined product of music schools. He was a wild, untamed stallion of pop music, never to be seen again.
Rock music
BRAVO!!!!
Love it
Thanks
Dude was a rockstar 😜
Freddie was the king of pop stars.
Roger Taylor was so underrated as a singer a lot of people do not realize how great of a voice he has!
He sings higher than Freddie at a outstanding E6 while Freddie had an F6
@Sinisa Dejanovic lol yea I made a mistake and got them mixed up lol sorry but is still half step lower which is really good compared to my highest which is a A5. Lol so much higher than most people
@@musicrevelation2023 Roger's normal voice is high pitched af :/
Had the misfortune of being in the same group as the greatest rock voice of all time.
Roger has a great voice. All three Harmonized apsoluty perfect
Pause at Brian may solo
_Wait that's illegal_
Read the title darling!
Ikr, even if it's a singing review it shouldnt happen, bad luck. ;)
Six months for pausing on a Brian May solo,life for David Gilmour rift.
I'm disgusted. You do not pause Queen, period lol that's like walking away from Free bird
Yes 100%
Freddie wasn't just a great singer he was a great entertainer who could hold an audience in the palm of his hand, there will NEVER be anyone that will come close to the brilliance of Freddie Mercury.
Miss him so much 😭
Freddie's voice is unique because nobody has come close to replicating it. He was probably one of if the not the greatest showman to exist he also had an overbite that he didn't get fixed because he was worried if he did it might change his voice he was just one of a kind fantastic human being who lived life to it's fullest.
Marc Martel is extremely close. Brian and Roger even got emotional when he first sang for them because of how uncannily close he is.
My mom was a singer. She sang backup in Nashville for several prominent artists in the 50s. Queen was the only rock and roll band she ever liked. She would stop by my room just to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody and she would sing with Freddie. Great memories.
Boone Docker chorus on Bohemian Rap ?
Boone Docker that sounds wonderful!! Do you have any videos of your mum’s singing?
@@coccinelle80 I have never seen one. It was the 50s, so most everything was live or in the studio. I do have memorabilia and photos though-Marty Robbins, Ray Price, Hank Snow were just a few--she was hired by the recording studios generally.
Boone Docker that sounds amazing! Back in the days where you had to be a triple threat, and actually be able to sing well! Unlike today’s auto tune crap! Your mom sounds wonderful!
Napoleonic Emperor jealous much? You probably couldn’t carry a tune in your pocket!! I bet you have the vocal skills of Kim Kardashian. I don’t need to apologize for appreciating true talent!! Now run off and listen to one of your mumble rappers or generic auto-tune pop tarts!
Lady, never pause a Brian May solo ! 🙂
Harry's youtube I cant believe the disrespect from this lady
I was mortified!!! Lmao!
Please never ever do that again😊😊😃
Bad teacher 🤣
Especially one of the best solos that’s ever been done!
Right out of the gate: "That was High level art right there" Enough said.
Freddie Mercury had no professional voice training when it came to his singing ability, he was a natural with what he could do. He had a 4 octave range and did it with such grace and skill that it still amazes people today. Freedie will always be remembered as an Icon, a Legend, and a Trailblazer within multiple genres of music. RIP Freedie we all miss you, you music lives on as more and more discover, or those of us older ones re- discover your music.
Freddie was born to perform on stage....flat out born to do it.
Freddie, was born with a silver mic in his mouth
@@vacantcontentment8863 A PERFECT way of putting it!
❤️
You’re absolutely right. Talent like that is born, not made.
Freddie was born brown. Yet people think he is white.
You can't teach that voice , that's all his God given talent. Along with his charisma.
defenitly right
Anybody seen that video that keeps popping up of Christina Aguilera "teaching singing"? Cat's choir, she should pore over that so she can tell us how crap it is and lay off Freddie.
Literally.... Freddie's vibrato is around 7. something hertz while a normal human is around 5. something.
God given talent ? Freddie gave himself that talent?
@@Spartan-iu6th when someone has no belief in a Spiritual world then that person must say it comes alone from the being who possesses the Talent, we all are given talents some not anywhere as evident as Freddie's. But our creator desires that we recognize that these gifts are from him
there is nothing you can say about his voice, he was and still is the definition of voice
I love that melodic "woooooo" falsetto, it was harmonically perfect.
The song had barely started and Linor looked as if she needed a cigarette.
Classic Freddie.🔥
ajjajaj I was thinking the same. This pour lady gonna need a cold shower after this. "classic freddie"
@@HernanSoberon i find it kind of hilarious that all these female vocal coaches seem to be having an orgasm whilst listening to certain singers.
i can understand it though..
This comment should be pinned at the top. Freddie and Queen were all panty droppers.
@@bigorange000 Thanks mate! Totally agree.
At 1:28 she ‘O’ed...
Can we show some love to Brian May and Roger Taylor for their amazing harmonies with Freddie. And some Disco Deacy action!
Killer Queen roger Taylor backing vocals are craaazy
Killer Queen they are all awesome and have amazing voices
Not to mention Brian May's killing it on guitar. I'm not a musician but IMO he's one of the best ever.
She gives props to Roger at 13mins.
@@deltatango5765 For his time he produced some of the most iconic and memorable solos, riffs, and let's just face it Sounds from a guitar. Not the best but dang could he make Freddie and Queen stand out.
Oh Lord is right!!!!! After listening Freddie singing, impossible not to get up in the cloud. He had a magnificent voice. Never tired to listen the best band, QUEEN. Lucky to be in their era.
Freddie had a gorgeous voice. I loved him. What a lovely soul, and good man.
I am one of the ones fortunate enough to have seen and heard Queen and Freddie Mercury live (Edinburgh in 80s) at the height of their popularity and can confirm that Freddie didn't just use the piano or his own body as his grounding, but he used the whole stage, his whole person. He brought everything to his performance and owned the stage/auditorium and communicated to each person. He was an absolute pleasure to watch and to listen to. Beautiful. There will never be another one like him. (the other members of Queen of course - great, I love their compositions! but Freddie as the frontman IMHO was everything) - joyful to watch...and thank you Linor for bringing that over in your observations too, you felt it.
Sydney 1985. I was young and got the tickets (with my sister) as a gift from someone my dad worked with who bought them but couldn't use them. Best gift ever.
I've seen them over 20 times live, from Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Knebworth, to Marbella, Paris, and many more
@@rogerchadwick3452 I'm so jealous. For the first time, you've shown me a good aspect of living in Britain vs Australia. :P
@@jeremykothe2847 - WOW!
Lucky you!
I would have given anything to have seen this LEGEND in concert! Thank God for videos!
Freddie Mercury had one of the best voices in the history of music. Freddie taught himself how to sing. You don't need to be a teacher to know how good he is.
No you don't. But you would have to be a teacher to see his mistakes. And yes he did take singing lessons from a VERY famous classical singer and teacher,Benvenuto Finelli probably others too ...Montserrat Cabelle etc ...i am sure she gave notes.
Melania MoneyPenny What mistakes? Please tell me
@@silverkitty2503 Mistakes? What mistakes? Music is an art. There are no mistakes. He wrote the song. It's what came out of his soul. There isn't some formula that has to be followed for his own music.
@@acoustic61 agreed... what kind of "mistakes" she try to tell us? Nonsense...
Freddie, Layne, Dio, and Cornell. Top 4 male vocalists of all time. Just my subjective opinion. I'm at a loss to even think of a fifth to round out the top 5 that belongs in their company.
Dont worry, Freddie's voice gives me goosebumps everytime.
He had every crowd eating out of the palm of his hand.
If he didn't wear a mask, I hope he was wearing gloves.
Freddie/Queen was not something to hear, it was something to feel.
Voice Teacher: I’m trying to criticize.
5 mins later
Voice Teacher: I got nothing.
Enrique Bermeo ... teacher is now learning from Freddy Mercury...
There are compelling reasons why Freddy Mercury is considered one of the Greats. I'm glad she is getting to enjoy his art.
I mean, she *did* find some things, but let's face it, nobody tops Freddie on a rock stage. If I had 10% of the range, clarity, and power that Freddie had, I'd be a happy man.
There is definitely a point where she switched from critic to fan just watching Freddie do his thing 😆
when she closed her eye's and got lost in the song, i knew it was all over, she was hooked...
Freddie's singing gives you an eargasm .
Same fam
Nobody had the range or power like Freddy Mercury.
God rest.
1. As others have pointed out, Freddie had some funky teeth. He had too many of them AND they were ginormous. There are photos of him as a child, and bless his heart, they were unsettlingly large. He was absolutely convinced that his big, extra teeth were what made it possible for him to have a four-octave range. It's entirely possible he couldn't make his mouth conform to the shapes you described for the closed vowel sounds without considerable trouble and without distorting his voice.
2. The version you reacted to was done in concert. It's highly stylized compared to the official video and the album version.
3. As for Freddie's movements . . . One of his good friends and business associates called Freddie a peacock because he liked to strut. Freddie called himself a Persian poppinjay because he LOVED to strut. He was an unabashed showoff, and he knew how to work the crowd (see how he turned his microphone into a phallic symbol).
4. If you really want a treat, find a copy of Queen's 1986 concert at Wembley Stadium (the year after Live Aid). There's an improvisational section where Freddie shows the range of his voice rather nicely.
5. Yes, I know this is too long. I'm in a mood.
6. Yes, Roger had a fantastic singing voice. His falsetto was even higher than Freddie's. See "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the "Galileo" bits and bobs. That was Roger. He was a marvelous drummer who poured everything into his performances (see the end of that Wembley Stadium concert where he has to be helped off the stage).
7. Freddie wasn't the best singer in the world. We can always find missed notes here and there. He was, however, the best front man ever to grace a stage.
He was singing from the soul and with passion. Nothing more and nothing less. He was a true showman and well that what it was.
And he was a trained opera singer
Thomas hunter best answer and best comment about Freddie mercury
This lady is surely inlove with Roger but sadly Roger is in love with his car😂.
Good one haha
@@simonherter5248 Yes,, she lit up. And by the end of the song was floating on a heavenly cloud
@@roseypuddin8805 exactly you got it too
The way she looked at him at 14:54 I mean can we blame her
@@saraa136 Not at all, We all have our emotions
When Freddie looks at the camera at 1:16 and then belts out that beautiful voice, gives me goose bumps everytime i watch it.
Me too!! That is so Freddie of him to look directly into the camera, make sure it's working and on him, And then just belt it out out of nowhere
Love your analysis. He's basically faultless - what an amazing voice. I miss him. RIP Freddie Mercury.
she doesn’t criticize she is explaining by observing what he is doing. Listen closely how she words herself, she is trying to dissect how Freddie does what he did best.
I think most here totally do not understand what she is trying to do.
Dont see any being to toxic but i could have missed a good few comments. Think most are Just throwing a big thumbs up at the perfection that it freddies vocals
EXACTLY what I noticed, Not Criticizing, Just Observing.
That's why anal is in analysis. No expert but I give it a 9.9.
@@toddhursey8766
She's a nice lady ..Freddy Mercury would have loved her performances and events
I agree, she wasn't trying to criticise, maybe a critic, there's a distinction.. She gave him the dues.. She was trying to explain his ability from a point of what she had learned to be music and vocals.. She used words like 'comforting' 'knows what he was doing'.. Etc.. She was neutral and completely appreciative of his genius. She's genuine..
Freddie occasionally had polyps on his larynx. He was not supposed to sing at Live Aid, in fact, could barely talk just a few days before it. Lucky us.
jettsoma I think this is why he was a baritone and sang in a tenor range
RICHARD CURRIE I didn't get that fact from the movie. It was in one of the many documentaries I've seen on TH-cam. It was straight from the mouth of one of his personal assistants. I think they said he had seen the doctor about his voice 10 days before Live Aid.
Plus, a true professional never looks like they are struggling.
RICHARD CURRIE
Just found this. She picked up on it. She's so good that I must subscribe!
th-cam.com/video/dvQiSV--hGY/w-d-xo.html
That is bullshit
@@richardcurrie4038the fact that he was not supposed to sing at live aid was known years before the movie. Brian May even mentions it in an old interview. The Dr recommended he not sing because of a throat infection or flu. (side note: nothing to do with a later AIDS diagnosis)
Roger was magnificent on the drums and the vocals. He could have easily been an outstanding front man. I love how he supported Freddie's vocals so beautifully. The whole band supported each other...they were so polished, so professional and so in sync with each other! Please check out Brian May today...he is doing amazing solo work...along with keeping Queen alive...In over half a century Queen has never once broken up! Rest In Paradise beautiful Freddie🙏🎹🎤❤️❤️
It took her less than sixty seconds to fall in love with Freddy Mercury 💖
Yep! That's what happens when you hear Magic!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Taylor was a hell of a singer. Really complemented Mercury's voice.
is*
Hmmm Hmmm thank god
Roger is a terrific musician and singer!
moo cow 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm waiting for the Roger Taylor reaction. I love what he did in "Somebody to Love".
"I just want to listen to it one more time."
That's what I always say to myself when listening to Freddie. Then after that I say "just one more time. "
"Ok just one more time. "
"Once more please."
We suffered such a loss... Freddie was so amazing! RIP Freddie
You need to do a reaction video on an isolation of Rogers vocals on anything by Queen. He is one of the greatest backup vocals of all time. I'm also a fan of any one who can drum and sing at the same time. He tops them all in my opinion.
Phil Collins is for me the best.
Their combined talent will never be matched.
Freddy had a nuclear reactor in his chest... A non stop energy power factory. When it comes to his voice... tears only can answer that.
Well said.
Καζαντζίδης μόνο ρε!!! Ποιός Freddie; 😂😂😂
Amen
Awesome quote 👍👍👍
It's Freddie....FREDDIE people!!!
I always get goose bumps when I hear Freddy sing. I miss him.
Anna Burns same have goosebumps right now
Everyone feels the same
FREDDIE!! not freddy
mommy tells it how it is
Meh people say Beyonce this and that. Freddy was a giant. Such a talent...stolen from us by a different fate
1) You are distractingly gorgeous. 2) 11:17 Freddie is really breathtaking, you know it. In my uneducated opinion nearly perfect. Listen to the LP if you want perfection, he does that too, but you're clearly a bit speechless--like all of us. What fun to watch your expert reaction. 3) Yes, Roger has a wicked range. Lovely video, thanks much.
You will never find a perfect live performance. Your spot on in your description, and analysis.
Who is this angelic faced woman falling in love with Freddie?
She had fallen in love a long time ago..
You are so adorable!!
I know! I came here to see her reaction to Freddie and now I just want to keep watching her. I could never be her student because her beauty would be totally distracting. My singing would still stink but I would have perfect attendance for my lessons.😊 keep up the videos. Enjoy hearing about how great singers go about the craft.
@@linororen realy like you hope you are good
@@linororen He believed his 4 extra teeth enabled him to sing the way he did. Would that have had any effect?
I saw Queen twice, opening for Mot The Hoople, I think 73 in Missouri and 1986 Rock in Rio. I and 80,000 people stood transfixed. He would hold up his hand for quiet and you could hear a match strike. Freddie's voice and his stage presence was a gift from God.
Do you know what I’d do to be alive when he was 😀 literally sell my soul to the devil
I am extremely envious of you. I would have given anything to see Freddie Mercury perform live. My hero. Nothing comes close to this man, his voice, his energy and performances.
@@izzygirvan9252 I saw Queen live. I´d like to have swapped the ticket with one for an AC/DC concert.
I saw them live in 78 ish…Stafford Bingley hall, then twice at the NEC Birmingham….. 80 & 81, ticket for Stafford was £3.50…! I missed out on Live Aid, I missed out on Wembley 86 and bloody Knebworth as I couldn’t get time off work, looking back I should have handed in my notice…. A fan since Seven Seas of Rhye on Top of the Pops….hooked for life, no time for Adam or any other replacement….first 5 albums are incredible.
Linor : Falls in love with Queen
Me: Falls in love with Linor.
I love your post!👍
She's very pretty.
There’s only one Freddie Mercury! Haven’t heard this version but it’s fantastic as always. The best showman, vocalist and musician ever. The full package! So sorely missed!
When my girls were young I would make them be quiet in the car when Freddie was singing. I would tell them, Listen to his voice, girls - no one sings like Freddie Mercury did.

It's so much fun watching you do these analysis especially analyzing someone like Freddy who wasn't classically trained and relies on emotion while you come from a classical background you seem to still appreciate his art and the way he presents it good stuff
Never interrupt a guitar solo, lovely lady. When you did that....my inner child died. Love your videos.
👍
I agree
Hearing Freddy Mercury sing live brings tears to my eyes. Such a powerful voice. My teenage son "discovered" Queen a couple of years ago too, and now he's obsessed. Thanks for sharing this reaction. Amazing icon.
Ooo yes thears în my eyes.
Услышав впервые эту песню, подумала неужели правда так можно исполнять, я слушала и слушала без конца... Фредди гений. Фредди единственный. Божественно... 🌹
You can't criticize perfection, the voice teacher Linor is in shock to se how goog freddie was, we all miss you freddie.
It was a sad day when we lost Freddie. One of the greatest singers of all time in my opinion.
Greatest male voice, no doubt. Freddie shares that No.1 spot with Judy Garland when female voice category is concerned as Judy is unbeatable. Not even Freddie... ;D At least that's how I see (or rather hear) it!
I knew exactly where I was whom I was with when I heard the news of his passing and it's indelibly etched in my head. Queen fan since the 70s
@Lightbringer I'm certain I wrote greatest
@@jadziadax5284 all due respect I think his range was much greater than Judy Garland's
@@VanHellsing12 It's not just about the range, not that one of the 'great belters' could vocally fall behind here, it's what they were both able to do to ppl's hearts with only a handful of notes. Certain mastery that has to do with the marriage of voice and emotion. Sinatra is known to have said that all would be forgotten, all except for Judy. I agree but would add Fred to share in that immortality.
"That's high level art there". Why yes, yes it is.
Linor: It felt a tiny bit squeezed
Me: How dare you insult our Lord
Unbelievable that this no-name is trying to tell us what freddie should have done better🙄
@@Robin-Visser AWWW, she made some good points. She's alright. It's the slight imperfections that make him so nice to listen to. If you can't sing, you don't feel so bad singing along. 😉

We have just one Lord - it's Jesus Christ. Thinking of pop stars as Lords is a dangerous mistake.
@@bubugaeify its freddie mercury we are talking about, i will make my own religion if i have to :)
That has to be one of the greatest performances in the history of music.
Freddie wasn’t one of the best . He was the best. Miss you Fred x
freddie was a god
The best
Freddie Mercury best of the best
Freddie was magic. It's not just the singing but his emotional range.
He wasn't perfect but, by God, nobody ever came closer.
Yeah so true. Michael jackson came close but not at same level as freddie
@Lightbringer Yeah but mj is more popular. Even here in my country he's so popular
Well, there's so many out there! I like the guy from Dirty Loops. He's even better live! There's definatly alos some Freddy references in his singing!
By God, the absolute truth. There's good singers, there are great singers - and then there is Freddie Mercury.
When the opera singer's going ; "Oh, that's good.." - you know JUST how good Freddie is...
He was perfect that is why nobody could ever come closer.
I love the honesty in your eyes as you watch and feel the singing and music. Thank you for uploading your video.
Linor, thank you very much for your talent in interpreting Freddie Mercury's skills. Thank you much, much more to your parents for giving you your gorgeous eyes. Very, very sincerely, Sean
I am not sure which stirred more emotion in me: The sight of Mrs. Oren's physical & emotional reaction to what she was hearing or, hearing what she was hearing. This is what beautiful music does to you...
@Tom Hansen Too True!!
@@prototek 1000% agree
You can tell she was moved by his vocals.
Tom Hansen I’m 39 and crying on accident. Music transcends everything.
So glad you like this. In my eyes, Freddy is the most accomplished pop/rock vocalist ever. The whole group was extremely talented but together they created wonderful music which even today's young people can relate to.
Freddie's mouth, whether by nature, or absolute skill and command of it, or both... his absolute adherence to posture... the way he opens his mouth wider than anyone would ever need to to do anything but produce his most beautiful sound straight from his chest. Right. Out. I appreciate you giving him his due. I hope someone like you does this for him every couple years until the end of time. He was literally a legend.
You really are something special with you analytics. I thoroughly enjoy your professional point of view into singing in various genres. All the best to you for the rest of the year :-)
Four guys. FOUR GUYS! What a sound they made.
guise... 4 girls on t. how come you dont see it #transvestigate
RIGHT? SOUNDED LIKE 14
no much more than 4!! , they had more live members on stage.. a synth/keyboard player, backup singers,
@@thewedge8823 No, they didn't. I have the entire concert this clip is from on Blu-ray. There are only four people onstage the entire time.
@@VinnyDrysdale You're right, the only synth they used live was on Radio Gaga.
He was a naturally born super singer. There are no words to fully describe a naturally gifted person, spatially a musician.
even though it might be true that freddie has a great voice (which he has he's the best singer i've ever heard xD) but it took him too hours and hours to train and hard work, i hate it when people just say: ''oh yeah that one singer, yeah he was born with a great voice and didn't do anything''
No name channel i agree and freddie knows how to play piano as well by hard work and hes a very good songwriter
Check your spelling "spatially"...?. What,,, did you mean Specially?
John Cristopher Limbo
AND pianist AND played the guitar.
Frank Bowden EXACTLY
Freddie had a range of E2 to E6 and Roger had a range F2 to F6 both great singers
Watching you see him and your body language, tells me you get him… and you can feel the music.
A true sign of a musician… Freddie was a master of Improvisation.
His audience participation interludes were Amazing. He would sing notes and have the audience sing them back. Please look for them
Wow Wow Wow Wow - what a truly emotional and professional reaction!!! It seems song and Freddie's singing touches your soul and emotions. Keep going, Linor, don't stop! I like your reactions of Queen songs very very much!
A voice teacher couldn't teach him, they learned from him
When the teacher realizes she's judging the wrong person...
haha, totally true :D Everybody can learned from Freddie ;)
Of course he’s improvising it’s Live Aid
Carl Bowman ❤️❤️❤️
And it’s not live aid
Honestly this video is very insightful, I love how you broke down the vocal techniques and reacted in real time to the things freddy was doing... but you have to admit there is a subjective tone that Queen just nails with this song. Its more than just the vocals, its the whole package of the band that carries the performance through. Great reaction!
10:40 ~ 11:00 ... Your reactions were priceless!
Especially 10:55!
It is simply impossible for someone with great ears and a working heart to not be absolutely smitten with Freddie's voice.
Aylbdr Madison
I disagree. I think Freddie was a fantastic singer. But I don’t see anything all that special. It’s also not my type Of music.
My favorite singers would be Russell Allen for sure, maybe Dio, I’m sure there’s others.

Nah you’re just a trend follower
Forget “music genre”, Freddie Mercury’s voice was beautiful no matter how you heard it.
There have been many "Rock Stars" with many hits,but Freddie was way beyond that. He was chosen by a higher power to bring his gift to us on Earth. Freddie and Queen are far beyond a "Heavenly" experience. As, I never met him here! I do hope to meet him someday above.
I just watched your reaction again, and it never gets old. You’re able to break down the techniques, but it’s awesome to how engaging you are with the song. How could it not pull at the heart strings? You’re the best and thank you again 🙏🏻
Freddie was a rock stage performer. There has never been, and never will be, a better one. No one has been as good, or will be as good, at working an audience.
@@PHamm39 Paul Daniels was not, to the best of my knowledge, a rock stage performer. And I doubt whether he ever dreamed of having an audience of this size.
There are others also.... Robert Plant , Steven Tyler , Steve Perry.... You never know about now who could come out of nowhere and blow you away. The lead singer of Greta Van Fleet is pretty amazing.
A-yo!
Tho i too can appreciate quute humbly freddys voice. I come from a different school all together. The bests of the best is ok. But. Its like the same problem i have with religion and America's greatest generation. If thats as good as it gets sooner or later it will get old and die. I hope when we are done climbing to the top we have?
Steve Perry :D
He is a legend...
He sing from his soul...
The greatest...
Just absolutely phenomenal talent and incredible charisma and someone so shy and sweet.
Freddie was checked by several music colleges and they agreed he was a 4 octave singer and even a scientist listened and realized that he could use both sets of vocal chords where most people don’t even know there are two sets. He sings different live than on his albums because he said what would be the point to touring and not changing the sound sometimes. He sang and wrote the Opera Barcelona with Monsserrete Cabella Spains diva in 1988. He sang songs until about 2 to 3 months before he died. He also had 4 extra incisors that he wouldn’t get removed. I think all his awards and music speaks for itself. He has proven his self a legend. England named him as one of the top 100 people that did things to honor them. Thanks for your opinion.
Freddie was a genius.
Regardless how good his voice was or not
I appreciate Queen more today than ever.A timeless voice that will live on.
Me too
yesssss!!! I was thinking that just tonight!
Agreed
I still cry sometimes when I listen to him sing certain songs and I always get goose bumps....he was THE man!
Exactly freddie was simply the man.
Thank YOU for uploading this video and for sharing your knowledge regarding other people perfoming.
Even a scientific study couldn't get to the bottom of why Freddie's voice was so good ,it's almost like he had two voices in one awesome
subharmonics..look it up its really fascinating. He was tapping into a 2ndary vocal cord most can't access
I don't know if the band gets enough credit for singing perfect harmonies AND playing fairly complicated things
Thank you! Finally somebody said it! Can't think of a band that has or had better vocal harmonies than Queen! That is something that's stuck with me since childhood.
@@wanderer3444 Beach boys did consistently good and complicated harmonies.
Def Leppard have good background vocals. Listen to them with the instruments turned down out of the mix.
"Who wants to just hear praise about Freddie all day long?"
Me!Me!Me!Me!Me!Me!Me!Me!Me! 😉
@notfiveo 😂
Freddie was a pure showman, the whole nine yards what a performer and beautifully complimented by all his band members. Such a joy to listen to.
Thank you so much for your comments. I only listened to Queen since 2010 when a musician told me they were the best. I was very interested in your analysis. Also, watching your face as he played was so lovely - you were showing your reactions to his body and voice - all one. I discovered opera 20 years before that but when I did I fell in love - and the same with. Freddie. Thank you so much. I just subscribed to your channel.
“Maybe I’ll find something to criticise soon.”
Little did you expect Freddie was about to bring it to a higher level of awesomeness 😄
One of those performances I wish I’d been there to see live.
"I am trying to find something to criticize". That is Freddie Mercury in a nutshell. Linor you are adorable by the way.
Agent Carter agreed.

The most adorable thing she said was "Thet falsetto was kind of...perfect". 🥰
’In contol’ and ’Freddie Mercury’ are four words that never should be voiced without each other.
Freddie was amazing with a huge voice and and high performane....really great !! ....and Linor...i think, you are amazing, too !! 😃Greetings from Germany 😉
Seen it many times on reactions to this video and it bears repeating. Superman wears a Freddie Mercury T-shirt.
Flee very true. ❤️👑
It just doesn't get any better than Freddie Mercury. We miss you Freddie.
Liked Queen as teenager in early 80’s. Now in my 50’s his talents are appreciated so much more. Amazing
True born performer! Truly heartbreaking that he isnt around anymore. God only knows what other contributions to music he would have made.
Sleep tight Freddie x
