  • In this video, I react for the first time to Queen performing ‘Somebody To Love’ live in Montreal. In this video, I analyse their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate Freddie Mercury’s vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. Queen are one of the biggest bands of all time and they have a special place in my heart!

    My cousin saw Queen in 82 and sat 2 rows from the front. At the end of the concert Freedie brought out a bouquet of roses, pulled out one at a time, kissed the rose then tossed it into the audience. She caught one, preserved it and still has it today.

    I'm a metalhead normally, but there is simply no denying that Queen is the greatest band of all time, and Freddie is the greatest singer/frontman. There is not even a slight competition in the frontman part. There are loads of fantastic bands, but Queen is just the complete package of perfection, and unbeatable live.

      Couldn't have said it better.
      Freddie Mercury was born to be the ultimate rockstar. A combination of talent, training and sheer musical genious that cannot be replicated.
      Also, the fact that the rest of the band, Roger, Brian and John are also legendary tier with their instruments AND singing is amazing. These exceptional people happened to find each other and combine their talent to give mankind a gift.
      In 100 years and beyond people will still listen to Queen.

    Thank you for recognizing Roger and John. When you have a talent and personality as larger than Life as Freddie's, it takes some effort to really appreciate the still amazing talents of the rest of the band. Sir Brian, of course, receives plenty of deserved attention, but I've always felt Roger and John don't get near enough respect. They are a super group, through and through.

    I've watched many other vocal coaches reacting to & analysing vocal performances on TH-cam, but no one I've seen so far is capable of doing such detailed and complete analyses like you do. With your powers of observation you're able to bring up and focus on small details and nuances most people would simply overlook. Your wit, musical sensibility, humour and enthusiasm make for a treat of a package. And no matter how much you may geek over some aspect of a performance, you never do so in a superficial, annoying or boring way. You're a joy to watch and listen. Keep up the amazing work!

    A note to watch when you review this... the second time Freddie moves to the audience and Roger is playing the drums hard, watch as Freddie sees Brian walking to the back to tend to his guitar. It is so seamless, most miss it. Freddie works the audience until he looks back again to see Brian coming back to the front of the stage and then moves forward with the song. All, without any fuss, do their parts. John rocks the bass during that time and Roger keeps them going and shifts when Brian steps back up to the mic. It is this peek into their professionalism that moves me to tears. Regarding Roger Taylor doing solo projects, he did! His latest Live album is gorgeous: _The Outsider Tour Live_ - do check it out! And yes, I saw Queen live in 1978... the Jazz Tour. It was incredible. I am sure the stadium (that doesn't exist anymore) is still resonating with a _stomp stomp clap_ that started 30 minutes before the show even began.

Although now in this 21st century there is so much mystique surrounding Queen, and particularly Freddie's legendary status...We who were privileged to see Queen perform live, knew instinctively that we were witnessing inimitable greatness. I was so very fortunate to attend several of their concerts in different parts of the world in the mid 80's...This band were the perfect storm, and Freddie was the God with pockets full of fairy dust, who ensured each and every ticket holder experienced the absolute time of their lives. Dear Freddie showed us inside his heart...and we will love him forever for it.❤

    While Live Aid was their best set ever, I think this is their best performance of just one song. When you talked about connecting with the audience that was Freddy's best talent, he was a showman. Roger is great in this, Brian is always great, John is steady and gives them the bass lines they need, but the starting point is always Freddy and his talent and presence. Great reaction, everyone should hear this version of the song at least once in their life, this is about a perfect as you can get.

Roger Taylor could easily be the lead singer in any band, but with Queen the embarrassment of riches is such that he doesn't need to be, he can drum and do backing vocals. For me this is one of their best live performances, so good it puts many other groups to shame, because they all do it from the heart. Thank you so much for reacting to this. 😊

    How good he is at feeding the audience really shows when you watch the Live Aid performance. It was a hot day with a lot of performers, and Queen was on the downslide as a "has-been" group at the time, but as soon as they took the stage he took control and within minutes they were quite literally eating from the palm of his hand. Created the most memorable performance of the entire concert, and made everyone remember just how good Queen was.

    I cried watching this the first time as well. It's so emotionally overwhelming. I am also obsessed with Roger's voice. He did solo projects since 1977 and had his own band called The Cross as well. His voice was an integral part of the Queen sound, as was each of the band member's talents. Under Pressure Live at Montreal or Wembley showcase the duet of Freddie and Roger's voices. Any of the early Queen songs like My Fairy King,Seven Seas of Rhye, Lap of the Gods, '39, Bohemian Rhapsody, More of that Jazz, etc. Roger made them sound like no other band. I saw Queen in 1977 on the Day at the Races tour. I have seen most big rock bands and it was my favourite concert.. Queen loves their fans and you feel that watching them. Freddie threw flowers to the audience during the encore and told us how much fun they were having. Freddie was incredibly charismatic. When he was on stage you couldn't take your eyes off him. One of my favourite songs was '39 because they all came to the front of the stage and Roger sang those ethereal high notes. They truly worked as one. The early concerts like Rainbow 1974 and Hammersmith Odeon 1975 are incredible fun to watch if you haven't seen them. Any Queen live is pretty special. Loved your reaction!

    Did you know that even scientific study confirms Freddie Mercury had an unparalleled singing voice. That what makes his voice so special was extremely fast vibrato 7.04 Hz and subharmonics. He was able to create several more layers of harmonics than anyone else. Freddie was using a subharmonics by vibrating his ventricular folds, a technique usually found only in Tuvan throat singers. One of the conclusions from the studies was that "Mercury was vibrating something in his throat that even Pavarotti couldn't move and that kind of creates a very typical vocal fingerprint"

    Hello Lolli. Brand new subscriber here. You are an exciting blend of educational and entertaining. You’re also one of a very few vocal coaches who actually demonstrates what they’re talking about, which is tremendously appreciated. Your enthusiasm is infectious and you’re just lovely. Thanks for this and excuse me whilst I take a trip back through your catalogue. I may be a while.

    Im really pleased you spoke about all the members of the group, particularly with regards to John Deacon because without all the members of the group queen may never have been as great as they became. All members of the group were outstanding. Real masters of music.

    So glad to see you talk about Roger Taylor's voice! Queen was a collection of top-tier musicians who all were willing to create the greatest music as a team, and didn't let individual egos block them from achieving greatness. Freddie was an amazing talent, but Roger's voice adds so very much to the mix. And yes, everyone in the band did what was needed to make these magical moments both in the studio and on stage. How I wish I had seen them live. Love your reaction, and you are looking more amazing every time I see you. Thanks for your reactions which have taught me so much I didn't know about vocal technique. 🥰

It was amazeballs, and it's the closest I'll ever get to seeing Queen live. I hope they take more concert performances by Queen and remaster them and show them on an IMAX screens, especially their Live at Wembley concert in 1986.

    I saw Queen in 1976 at Cardiff Castle, it poured down all day but they were magnificent, I was 13 and went on my own. I also saw them in Milton Keynes bowl in 1982, a much bigger venue but still magnificent. I've seen them post Freddie with Adam Lambert and they were very good but it wasn't the same.

    I saw the Night at the Opera tour in 1977 in Madison Square Garden, New York City.
    The energy in that stadium was immense and electric. And then Freddie brought us down to tears with Love of My Life.
    Saw them the following year, Fat Bottom Girls tour. Same venue.
    They sang Bicycle, then seamlessly transitioned to Fat Bottom Girls. While they sang, about 8 very voluptuous ladies wearing thongs and pasties road their 10-speed bicycles around the stage.
    Both tours were epic!

You're reaction was so beautiful to see because your face really said out loud what so many of us feel watching Queen. This is the first video I've watched as a reaction that I wasn't yelling to just let the song/video play. Also, I enjoyed this video so much I've watched it a good half-dozen times.
    Queen and Freddie are beyond incredible. Seeing your analysis and breakdown of this performance was informative and let me really see the intricacies of each members performance and how they made everything they did just wonderful.

    Had the good fortune to see these music gods at Wembley in 1986 as a raw 17 year old (do the math 😂).You ask about the experience, the great thing is ,the concert was recorded for vhs,then available on dvd and now youtube,yes I did search for me and found me in the audience, so alot of my memories were captured on film. The emotion of the day was electric, Status Quo played as did INXS and The Alarm but when Queen entered on stage my word if the stadium had a roof it would have been blown off such was the roar. I do remember when the crowd started clapping for We Will Rock You towards the end of the concert I couldn't lift my arms anymore I was that knackered because of the emotion and exhilaration of seeing my idols live. Great reaction Lolly check out their early stuff it's all about fairies and mystical and magical tales I think you will enjoy them.

    Thank you for this analysis, you expressed what made Queen such a phenomenal band better than I even could. One aspect I always greatly appreciated about Queen was their constant evolution as musicians and in styles. They never made the same thing twice and got better and better, it's unbelievable.

    The first cassette I ever purchased was Queen's "The Game". I eventually bought them all. I have never failed to realize how lucky I was to grow up when Queen still existed and recorded new music. As hard as it is to think about Freddie's pain near the end, I still adore the "Innuendo" album so much. As much as it makes me cry. Thank you for this.

    Utterly brilliant, the homage you paid to Roger, Brian, and John is often missed by other reactors. All four members of Queen were writers in their own right, and all wrote Number one hits for the band.Superb break down of all the elements that made this such a great live performance.
