We love Queen and Freddie Mercury, so we've edited 4 concert films including a rare recording session of "We Are The Champions" and synced them all up to the isolated vocals in honor of the late, great, Freddie Mercury. This video showcases his presence and consistency as the ultimate stage man. RIP Freddie. You are a rock god. - เพลง

I would trade SO MUCH of the trash out there today to have Freddie back for just a week...
Agreed.
+Space Chief agree meepo
+FuryMusic then that would be greedy
***** Nah, most music that makes it big is just shit these days. Im happy in the generation Im in. Freddie was just timeless.
+Space Chief Its alot of one hit wonders now day which sux big time .....a big thanks to all the big Recording Companys :) They made it so crappy as it is now due to money...weeelll thats what I think.
Not only did this man leave his mark on history. He french kissed it.
Cheeky erb quote
+Aj CH Now I have to go watch the ERB video again
+Aj CH His songs have balls because they are the anthems of victory.
+Aj CH Kissed it with his butthole =O =D XD
+Aj CH Your ERB is showing, Dude. Nice one.
Dad : stop playing that
Me : why
Dad : we have bigger speakers down stairs
I think your dad is really a man of culture aswell....
I love your dad 😁🥰
I love your dad. Great role model. Never met him.
@@CrimsonTH-cam Wait... I'M A DAD?!
This is not a voice (and music). It's a historical and cultural heritage of humanity.
I agree,
I agree so much with what you said. Freddie Mercury, in my opinion, has the best singing voice in history. His voice is incredible
@@forkybros3018 his voice/lyrics was (still is) the message we all want for humanity. It’s too bad Billy Joel was right, the good die young
Just myth he is god
In the beginning i thought i heard the piano but then i realised it was my head xD
and i just realiised i look like a huge copier because i just saw another comment with almost exactly the same statement
No prob, man. If it's all love, why not say it more that once? :)
On the dumb Kanye or Taylor vids, you'll have a mil. same coms saying the same things.
Max Mooney there's actually a little bit of pre print on the vocals, in addition to the reverb.
you're not the only one i can hear everything just perfectly with or without the band playing xD

Pure voice, no F**** auto-tune BS!
+toly78 That's what amazes me most about Queen's vocal work. All the background vocals are THEM, no edits other than layering one part on top of another, which makes the fact that it's not autotuned even more impressive. Freddy was said to have such great ability to match his pitch that he'd get "phase" from one part being TOO perfect compared to the one he was layering with.
+Never Ending You are asking what is wrong?! ---> The piece of S*** so called singers like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus!
In 21st Century the music is officially dead...
+Never Ending hehe nothing wrong with auto tune. It works perfectly.
+toly78 Aaaw that's so cute. You think teenybopper music is all music. Hunt around, we have Adele, Melody Gardot, Jack Johnson... Those are just a few.
+toly78 Auto-tune is a tool. Yeah, sadly it's used to make shit singers sound "good", but there's nothing wrong with auto-tune.
I think it should only be used to fix minor details if you don't have the props to flawlessly sing something. As someone once said "the best auto-tune work is the one you can't notice"
Best male voice to ever grace our ears. NO ONE else will ever compare!
What about Luciano Pavarotti?
legend
@@LZMP60 same level i would say i love both of them.. two best singers of all time, outside the opera
Well, brendon urie and Tyler Joseph,
Axl Rose somehow has more octaves then Freddie but I think Freddie is 10 times better
0:48 oh my god the harmony... so beautiful
Es tan perfecta
Oh Freddie we miss you. :(

But he said one day « I’m not a rockstar, I’m a Legend ».
And legends never die.
Him,Whitney----- THEY ARE JUST BORN WITH THAT 🎁!!!!!!!! (BARBRA STREISAND STILL HAS IT- AS SHE GETS OLDER WITH AGE IT'S STILL THERE...) NOT EVEN A FAN BUT I PEEP THAT....
I miss u too darling ! :')
CountryHouseGent to…
At the start I thought I heard the piano... then I realised it was in my head...
I thought the exact same! Had to listen a second time because I couldn't be sure. There's also an instrumental only version which highlights what a great structure and musicality the track has and you can totally hear Freddie in your head as you listen!
You can barely hear it. It was probably bleed from the headphones that Freddie had on while recording his vocal track. lol
+Jason C Or maybe it was made with an instrumental version by inverting the phase, so we can still hear some artefacts
I was so high once I had to turn down my tv to taste my grilled cheese!
ikr
How auto-tune ruined the music industry. Bring back talent like this.
Jonathan Mayer damn right screw auto tune
That's impossible. Music industry nowadays is all about image. Clothes, bad attitude, brands of clothing etc. Freddy and his insane vocals can not be matched by anyone in the industry right now at least the ones under the mainstream light. Very few have singing capabilities for live concerts. Go to a concert and it's all playback. Even the ones we hail as amazing singers in reality cannot pull off even 10% of their album sound (Maria Carey new years eve disaster is a great example). Some metal bands though such as Disturbed pull off amazing lives however not everyone enjoys the harsh sound of metal or enjoy the message/ story behind the lyrics.
AutoTune is just sometimes used as an effect, not necessarily to improve a person's voice. Also, being a great musician is not always about being a great singer - it's how you sing from the heart, make your own music, write your own lyrics and break all the stereotypes people are throwing at you. Fortunately, Freddie Mercury did all of that, especially with Bohemian Rhapsody, which, if released today, "WOULDN'T BE FIT FOR MAINSTREAM MUSIC".
Back in the days, guitar gadgets were HARSHLY CRITICIZED TOO because they are "cheat devices". Technology will always be labeled a cheat, and that's that.
There is no other talent like THIS!
Jonathan Mayer there are millions of people who can sing just as good as Freddie but only a select few have the looks and act to be a performer. Freddie had both which is what made him one of the best singers. One of the winners of the voice had an amazing voice but was really heavy and didn't have the looks or act so there fore he didn't gain any fame.
Freddie's voice is like light going through a prism. He sings in colour.
Indeed
Actually, colors can be converted in sound frequencies, as so metals, plants, and even temperature. We live in a universe of vibration. Quoting Nikola Tesla, "if you want to understand the universe, think of it as frequency, energy and vibration. "
I loved your comment, btw. "He sings in color", such a beautiful thing to say.
That happens when a singer can actually sing....
Most singers can sing
@@callmecarsonfan1644but what is really singing ? Sing with the mouth like the most important part of the "singers" or singing with the heart like real singers (meaning mercury, lennon, elton john, and some others i cant name because it would take a too long time)
Three singers

what a fucking voice
+Richard Ramirez I don't think so..homosexuality is normal. And he was bisexual.
+Richard Ramirez Why is that such a horrible le thing?? being gay is just like being straight except not liking the opposite gender in a sexual way. if you are really against homosexuality and you are not trolling, then YOU are what is wrong with this world, and you don't really need to live on it, and first chance we get I'm putting you up for the first ticket out of it, along with all the other bigoted, homophobic, inbred fucks around...

Yessss

♥ I miss Freddie so much.... (September 5, 1946 - November 24, 1991)
Trust me we all do
Damn it I kept huming the instrument parts.
+fathomjosh We all did, Fathomjoshua. We all did.
+Matt Walker @fathomjosh no we didn't doooom dom doooooooooom
+fathomjosh I heard gay people like to hum a lot.
+Dalton Buchholz I don't think they like dying from it😂
Ah yes youtube commenters mean and completely off point.
damn it I still hear that instrumental
yeah me too, I wonder if these vocals could go well with a remix.
it's amazing how much depth and character the song has with just vocals alone.
+oazamat Same. Something about this (while impressive) is awkward, as if it's naked or something.
+oazamat Yeah...I kept hearing Brian May's guitar licks!
This is what a real singer sounds like. So many of these so called singers should take notes.
And not just act like they can sing notes
Yeah
They should take music notes.
LESSONS!
Take notes ? They should hang it up
25 Years passed since he's gone.
The greatest rock god of all time.

Would love to see more of these!
+JakeTV You can count on it
Fantastic.
+Playback.fm how about the dukes of hazzard theme accapella (theme done by several people) I would like to hear 2 versions the tv version and the John Anderson version as vocals only
+Playback.fm omg, i'm sooo looking forward to it!!
+Playback.fm can you make one with "Good Old fashioned lover boy" please?, that would be great
. thanks.
It sounds like... an anthem. Don't you think ?
It could be XD
Alexander Piaskowski it *is* an anthem
Jason-RPG its anthem of champions!
Its the anthem of the victorious.
ITS THE WORLD’S ANTHEM
This made me CRY 😭💔💔
yes men
Is this what you hear when you enter heaven?
I sure hope so!!!!
I hope so
only if you've lived a good life
It is for real
Or in hell
What did they have before Pro Tools?
Pros.
+Rob Takacs ...and after??? Tools.
Perfect answer :D
Totally agree! (Tool is a good band though)
the knowledge of how to run a real board. XD
and About 100 takes. and about 25 miles of tape. its not just one pure recording its 2 vocal tracks in this .
Freddy took inspiration from opera singers, if you ever saw any documentary on him. you can tell that from his vocals, his notes are drawn out and he takes some really high notes there, and goes very pacefully through the whole song with just a powerful voice. I love his vocals, they trully add to the songs, they don't just play along their role.
Freddie actually had classical opera training! It's easy to tell by his stunning mastery of his upper range, specifically the notes above the passagio!
+Joey Salmon That just explains so much. Especially Bohemian Rhapsody.
Not that Bohemian Rhapsody needs an explanation. It is secure in its ineffable awesomeness.
+Joey Salmon Do you have a source for that? It's generally accepted that Freddie never had a singing lesson in his adult life.
Freddie*
His parents were opera singers. When he grew up opera was just all over his house.
NATURAL AUTOTUNE
excellent !!!!
Bébé Margotte 🇫🇷
That's called "knowing how to sing"
Auto tune wasn’t around until 90s
It’s called actual singing talent, sweetie. Look it up
The Voice is MAGNIFICOOOOOOOO (BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY)
The meaning of the word "Magnifico" means "Rich people".

not deaf people....more like lil wayne, justin weener and miley cuntress fans...the creator of this vid should do the same thing to those people's songs, we'll definitely hear the difference
Luckvieh probably just people looking for the original
clearly triggered losers who are offended by champions.
Cleveland Brown fans most likely
cook baby
I can say this without hesitation the greatest and The most beautiful voice of anybody in the history of rock ‘n’ roll and not just rock ‘n’ roll in any genre of music Freddie mercury we miss you 😢
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world
We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions

No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
El mejor cantante del mundo
I heard the music in my head :(
Please do more vocals only video. This made me shiver.
Thank you for making me feel like this. I wish you all the best.
+Andria Agathokleous Thank you. It was a delight to edit. Made me feel the same way the entire time. Will likely do more in the future.
+Playback.fm the depth of vocal without music is simply mind blowing
+Playback.fm Do you have access to the studio vocal track, or do you have a way to strip out the instruments with filters?
+Michael Taylor This is CLEARLY a real vocal-track.
Not necessarily the actual track used on the album..(it may have been an outtake)...but it is a real vox track..not a karaoke version.
+Playback.fm no, but really, did you do this with very advanced filters, or is this just a vocal stem? or...? I have to know....for science... and umm... stuff...
Freddie gave a world-class performance as usual, but do not forget those vocal harmonies as well - they were absolutely gorgeous! Not to mention the chord progression is sophisticated as well - Freddie was a brilliant composer!
Que hermosa voz. Se me eriza la piel con su interpretación. Pura pasión y talento genuino. Te fuiste demasiado pronto Freddie 😢💔 pero tu legado musical está más vivo que nunca! Eres inmortal.
The best singer that there's ever been. Not my favourite band, but undoubtably brilliant.
Oh please. It's not a matter of "best ever"...
@@tigerlikeswater He is the best ever.

such an incredible voice. still breaks my heart that he’s gone 💔
That was incredible! Thank you for doing this :D
huh? he didn't do anything. thank Freddie Mercury for singing this.
+dedpxl whoever made the vid extracted sections of freddies voice from 4 different live proformances to create the a capella
Yeah I meant the making of the splicing haha, I realize it was just a montage of Freddy's awesomeness :P
+nrathbon1 Thanks - I don't take credit for extracting the audio, but the editing of the clips to sync with the audio was a bit of work to get right, but incredibly fun.
+Playback.fm You did an OUTSTANDING job!
This video highlights that the greatest instruments Queen played were their vocal cords. Especially Freddy, but the entire band could pull it off- and here it is.
We may never see another voice like his again. Talent like this comes along once a lifetime.
Si eres como yo que la has escuchado tantas veces, te apuesto a que aun escuchas el piano, la guitarra, la bateria e incluso el bajo
I hate when people compare Freddie Mercury to god, like he is great and all, but he is no Freddie Mercury.
+BackwardsComma Hahaha, brilliant.
Harrison Jupp best comment
lmaooo
Totally didn't steal this from a 7 year old comment on don't stop me now
HAHAH!! Yas!!!
I still hear the music in my head haha
Angels are having a rehearsal tonight!!! This made in heaven!!!
una voz privilegiada que ha sido capaz de cantar con Monserrat caballe y no quedarse tapado por ella, muy grande freddie mercury.
No pencil tool fixing anything,
no quantizing. Just a little reverb and ridiculous amounts of talent by Freddy, Brian and Roger.
Fucking amazing.
There are few things that make me smile in this world anymore from years of depression and anxiety, but THIS... This keeps me so alive and makes my face brighter than the sun itself! Such a gorgeous voice, thanks for everything Freddie :) We all love you!

Now you know its amazing music when you get goosebumps just from an acapella
even if ur not a queen fan, there's something about Freddie's voice that's just freaking mesmerising.
I never use to call myself a fan, but then I realised I always turn up the volume when I hear a queen song, lolz.
hashirama senju -- I myself was never a huge fan until I watched both documentaries, Queen and Freddie Mercury on Bio channel. The man was enormously talented. In hindsight, I am so disappointed that I passed on the opportunity to see Queen in New Orleans back in the day.
Not a lot of bands currently touring that could do this. And by not a lot I mean almost no one. Impressive
powerrangerjesus By almost no one you mean no one.
No one with Queen's following absolutely. Lot of dudes making music though, some *could* replicate/craft this kind of thing. No one that the general population really knows of though.
Surprisingly, as much as I hate her music, Lady Gaga is a pretty good singer( When she sings unassisted). Can't believe I said that.
powerrangerjesus Their will never be another Freddie Mercury, he was a One of a kind
AltareGaming he's shit
You are the champion of this world, Freddie
Su voz es tan perfecta 🖤, ojalá hubiese vivido muchos años.

A testament to the talent that was Freddie Mercury.
I love playing this track and playing my piano to it....so epic.
His voice was incredibly powerful and he sung beautifully in the lower and higher range .
Absolutely haunting. Stunning. One of the very few music icons I genuinely lament losing.
WOW... just WOW! Brought a tear to my eye. Freddie Mercury is truly the best rock singer the world has ever known.
Better than Robert Plant?

Freddie is the greatest loss to music PERIOD!
The best singer/songwriter in history
Y pianista 🤤
When the four of them sing harmonies together it's like a combination of instruments being played in perfect unison. Their voices blend so well, it's like an instrument that hasn't been made yet.
There is only ONE Freddie!!!! I can listen to this over and over and over again!!!!
Should do Somebody to Love.
It's already on TH-cam.
I did! It doesn't get as much love as this one, though th-cam.com/video/p124Fa_kTE8/w-d-xo.html

This legitimately the most beautiful audio I have ever heard
how did you get the voice out so perfectly?
Mr Removed isn't hard to do, just get an audio program to remove 90-95% of the music track.
Or just upload the vocals from the Guitar Hero version of the song.
Speedy if you're wearing headphones you can faintly hear the music when he's singing
That's because he was listening to the music through headphones while he was recording and all headphones "bleed" a little.
Now, why the music is a second ahead is anybodies guess.. :D
Speedy
lolololololol, so wrong it's funnny...
So this is what "singing" means.
Ok Keanie West ?
Kanye isn't a singer, though? Like, spoken word and singing aren't the same. :V
+Geary Right, he's a douchebag
+meep 737 Because god forbid anybody take an old work and reshape it into their own interpretation. That's unforgivable. I mean, it's not like anybody else has ever been praised for doing that exact thing.
+meep 737 Waaaaa, you don't like his music, who gives a shit? Saying he 'insulted a masterpiece' because he did a cover of a popular song from thirty years ago is absurd.
+Geary if you don't give a shit, be sure I do too. Kisses
TOTALLY UNAPPRECIATED AND STILL SO POPULAR! Seriously man, how do so many people look past this song? LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
I don't think he ever really knew how brilliant he was. Legend you are, Freddie.
Thank you for putting "Off the world" at the end!!!!
Freddie is amazing. His voice is something incredible!
His sound so theatrical in here, but give spirit, and emotional, also his vibrato🔥
Most powerful voice in the history of voices, period.
Who needs musical instruments when all can sing and harmonize this well?????

Incredible, absolutely incredible. A voice that goes unmatched.
I'm not a queen fan, and i'm not F. Mercury fan. In fact i like totally different music.
Yet, the voice is really great and powerful, and i don't need to be a fan to appreciate great vocal.
If your not fan of Freddie Mercury wtf are you doing here
@@user-yf5wm6sd6k He/she respects and appreciates Freddie's talent even though he/she prefers a different genre of music. It's normal to not always be one's fan to appreciate one's talent. He/she wasn't bashing or talking bad about Freddie or anything like that.
I prefer to listen techno or psytrance music.. but this energie wich comes from this band... its just mindblowing..
Btw i grow up up with this music cause of my father.. then i wasnt a fan.. but today i am able to aprecciate the energy this 4 guys are playing/sending..
