It's also one of the few bands that all but one member has a science degree....and the only one I know of that has a member with a PDH in astronomy (Brian May, got his PHD on interstellar dust)
All Freddie, he had a great vocal range he could sing anything. Freddie was very ill at this point, he barely weighed 100 pounds, but his vocal power was still there. Yes I believe we can do what try to achieve, look at Freddie, he believed in himself, he was a little guy, large perturbed front teeth, he was a Parsi born in Zanzibar, but look what he achieved just by hard work and belief in himself. Great reaction.
When you start watching the songs in the later eighties like this one you'll notice there's no live video of them and that's because ffreddie was too ill to perform I've heard that in some cases he recorded from his home because he couldn't make it to the studio but he never lost his voice and you would never know he was sick so absolutely amazing. Thanks for appreciating Queen. Queen army is alive and strong! Most loyal fans and subscribers ❤👑💛
@@debramoore7513 thank you my dear friend I promise I'm going to get your parcel in the mail this week I've got to go out one for you and one for another friend
This is an incredible video and a wonderful song. Thank you for reacting to this song. My favorite Queen performance is Queen: White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith. Amazing performance. Freddie lived his life believing in his dreams and he made damn sure he achieved them. Freddie and Roger wrote this song, it is such an inspiration.
A great and often overlooked Queen song is “‘39” - and features Brian May on lead vocals. Such a beautiful song. The entire “A Night At The Opera” album is such a masterpiece.
That one is one of my all time faves. Freddie sang it in the live version and he did a bang up job as Freddie does, but I really enjoy Brian's voice in the studio version.
Remember, this man was dying when he recorded this. His health was deteriorating day after day, and he still had the energy and passion to sing until the end. He's such an inspiration
Thank you for this reaction! I always appreciate the thought and experience you invest in what you comment. This post is a good preamble to zooming with Church! PLEEZ more QUEEN. Fans never get tired of hearing and seeing them. I would love it if you reacted to YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND written by John Deacon for his wife💕. Also... DRAGON ATTACK (live in Montreal) PLAY THE GAME (live in Montreal) IT'S LATE (Alternative Version)
Freddie was dying during the production of this album, and knew it, so it heavily influenced the songs on it. Personally, I think it's their best album.
I love this album, my favorite song is Don ´t Try So Hard. React sometime ro songs from Barcelona album. It ´s really a masterpiece, Freddie with spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballe. Barcelona song is the most known and popular, of course.
Queen, love of my life, who wants to live forever and for drums I’m in love with my car all outstanding love your reactions all the way from Scotland 🏴
'Innuendo' was literally the last Queen album released in 1991 just before Freddie Mercury died late in the year 😷 His battle w/ AIDS was only known by the band, their management & Freddie's male partner & his ex Mary... Freddie did not want to go public, so Queen respected his wishes, closed ranks and spent 1988 to 1991 writing & recording new music. In 1989, Queen released 'The Miracle' - they filmed music videos, but did not tour or perform live... Rumors circulated that Freddie was ill, but they denied it. In 1991, Queen released 'Innuendo', but Freddie did appear in the music video for 'Days of our lives' and he looked thin and frail - that was his last music video. Freddie reportedly asked Queen to keep giving him lyrics to sing in the studio for another album that was to be completed after he was gone (Those tracks became the final Queen studio album 'Made in heaven' released in 1995) By the fall of 1991, he was too ill to perform in the studio, so he returned home to England. Just before he died, he released a statement admitting he had AIDS.
Listen to Death On Two Legs and then read this. This was written by the man the song was about. This is Sheffield, the man who believed in them and got them started but held back their just rewards. www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/article-2368614/Queen-Freddie-Mercury-felt-like-god-Then-started-behaving-like-man-signed-band.html Very interesting and enlightens us as to why Freddie believed in them to the point of arrogance but if not for that mindset Queen would never have succeeded. They all wanted perfection.
Bam, Masterpiece! Amazing song, Queen was so versatile. Freddie was very sick here, but his voice sounds bloody good. I love the lyrics, its a little darker song. Love your Queen reactions as always, hope to see more. May I suggest One Vision live at Wembley. Much bless youngman♥️
Freddie Mercury did a duet with an Opera singer called "Barcelona" toward the end of his life. It was a dream come true for him from what I recall - i think she was a favorite singer of his. You should review that! I think it was meant to be the theme of the olympics in span but he died before the games
@@lynnhoffmann247 I think they just used a screen with a film of Freddie - 2012 is the first time they used a hologram for a concert when a hologram of tupac was done
This was Queen's last final Masterpiece. Freddie went out with a huge message left behind. With so much power in voice still. You should react to "A Winter's Tale" that's the last song Freddie wrote... It's really beautiful. He is so loved and missed. Rest Peacefully Beautiful Man 🎶💞🎶
Queen - Too much love will kill you Queen - I was born to love you Queen - A winter's tale Queen - Heaven in everyone Queen - My life has been saved (check out the b-side version too) Queen - A little kind of magic Queen - Killer queen Queen - Is this the world we created ? Queen - Mother's love This is my favorite Queen's songs that you never react. I believe there is still more. I just can't remember it now
Best band, I'm going to suggest some underrated songs Las palabras De Amor it's a kind of magic, dragon attack you're all amazing keep in mind Queen had close to 20 albums and not one Bad album or song so you have a huge Rabbit Hole to go down if you choose to which I hope you do I've been a long-time subscriber I love that you're reacting to Queen and appreciating them
@@Ezekielepharcelis Yes its even better, way dont people hear that 🤔 BohRaphp and Prophet som is almoust impossible to choos, but for me I think Prophet song. Freddie think Somebody to love. And I think people have did BohRahp to a Masterpiece, and ofc it is mg, and he start to make it in -69…..was finish in -73 and out on at music-marked -75, maybe I remember wrong, this is very difficult . I wich many reacters had playd Prophet song for see howe people had react…..Im sure many have heard it ones or twise……or never……let them hear and hear…..lol
Freddie Have many voices 💛 yes i agree He can change his voices depends to the music or Genre (or whatever) that’s his power that’s the Great Freddie. He also have collaboration with an Opera Diva Monserrat Caballe check out the album or song “ Barcelona “ 🙏🏻... be Prepared for it😊👑 i really really really like and appreciate your reaction. Thanks bro😊💛
@@debramoore7513 Steve Howe from YES played WITH Brian May the flamenco section. "MAY: The Spanish motif is suggested from the start; those little rifts at the beginning are sort of Bolero-esque. It seemed like the natural thing to explore those ideas on an acoustic guitar, and it just gradually evolved. Steve Howe helped out and did a fantastic job. We love all that stuff - it's like a little fantasyland adventure." The Life Of Brian, Guitar World magazine, August 1991
I used to jokingly listen to I'm going slightly mad when I was a young mother. Me too Freddie! Oh and when someone ticks me off, an over the top release, death on two legs. Queen hits all the human emotions.
By far my favorite Queen song , blew my mind first time I heard it. Freddy is an immortal Legend ! Irreplaceable ! Never in a million years will there be another like him. 💙Rest in Peace 💙
You get it! Great reaction to Freddie & Queen. The time was coming, Freddie was philosophizing @ the meaning of life & his impending death at 45. ' Man proposes & God disposes."
"LIAR", "Stone Cold Crazy" and "The Seven Seas of Rhye" Live at the Rainbow, 1974 are all worthy of review. Freddie was proof that you could make yourself into whatever you wanted to be. He used to say he wouldn't just be a rock star, but a legend. Who else but Freddie, born in Zanzibar off the coast of Africa, sent to boarding school for 10 years in India, could come to London at the age of 18, and fullfil that dream? Only someone who believed in the dream, and that was Freddie.
Queen won the Brit Award for Best Achievement in Music for INNUENDO. The video itself also won the award for achievement in film creativity. The last appearance by Freddie was at the Brit Awards! 🥺 The last song Freddie ever sang was MOTHER LOVE but couldn’t finish so Brian sings the last verse. 🥺Queen has a tribute music video for Freddie called NO ONE BUT YOU (ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG). 🥺 After recording this song bassist John Deacon retires from Queen! He saw no point to continue without Freddie! 🥺
Power ballad = "Who Wants to Live Forever." And "White Queen"at Hammersmith is another favorite. Too many to name! (and "Love of My Life" which is probably my favorite)
Yes, I believe....you have to decide what you want to be, work for it and you can make it....but if you let others hand to you what they think you should be, than you are not who you are, but who they want you to be and that ain't free.
This is possibly the best reaction ever to 'Innuendo'. The fact that you are absorbing the music and expressing your own interpretation of the song is really commendable. Yes, indeed, Innuendo is a serious motivational message for the listeners and dreamers- even in the face of adversity and various obstacles, you can strive for anything that you hope to achieve and be free. Of course, Freddie lived his life like that to the full. So it becomes all the more powerful. However, it is not easy to keep up with it at time... not everyone can probably fully realise their ambitions and dreams no matter how hard one tries. Hence the line, "Keep on trying..." The worst and tragic part is not making an attempt at all. You, my brother, hit the nail on the head when you said that at worst what is going to happen? If you fail, you can use that as a value addition for other special things. Play chess instead of checkers! Well remarked :-D
If you want to see Roger Taylor singing, check out the live performance of “I’m in Love with my Car” but fist “White Queen” live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975.
Omg goosbombs all over, I think of Freddie and how ill he was when they make this, he never complain, I think the last thing this incredible man lost was his voice...love Freddie and Queen......please react to A winters tale, it so beauty and sad. One of his last song, he sitting in his bedroom in Montreux looking out and see out over the Genève sea, and written about what he see and think, you see his handwrithing but not him of course, this was not so long before he was go home to Garden Logde for the last time 🥺😢💕
Hey Van, you asked people about their favorite Queen songs that they think you should react to, here's mine: Princes Of The Universe, which was used as the theme song of the "Highlander" movies and television series
Probably one of the most underrated tunes in music history. First heard this glorious group back in 1990, but for some weird reason I (finally) discovered this song only two years ago. "Better late than never", I guess. Reaction on point. Those lyrics are true, in every possible way.
The thing about this song is that along with Show Must Go On Freddie gave us a two-part elegy. Everything he wanted to give us in his lifetime...sad and beautiful !
I'm glad you liked this masterpiece. It's rare for Queen to put out a "message song", this is as close as they get to that. The entire Innuendo album is absolutely wonderful. It's hard to believe that someone as ill as Freddie could produce things like this, like All God's People, like Don't Try So Hard, and then with tongue in cheek write a love song to his cat, Delilah.
One of my favorite albums by Queen is The Miracle made in 1989. Some of the songs (think 4) have videos but this one just has a lyric video. “Was It All Worth It.” All of the songs are good on this album. This album really returns to their rock roots. “Party” “Invisible Man” “Breakthru”. Heck, all the songs are worth hearing!!❤️❤️
This was their last album. Yes Freddie is singing on this. He was too sick to be in the video. It's a serious and meaningful song. Freddie was determined to continue on before he passed. He wrote and sang some of his most iconic songs at this time. A true professional. Inspiring and a much loved man. Love you Freddie Check out his song towards the end How Can I Go On with Monserrat Cabelle. Absolutely breath taking.
FAVORITE QUEEN SONG: "Don't Try So Hard" RUNNER UP: "Let Me Live" FAVORITE FREDDIE (NOT Queen) SONGS: "Exercises In Free Love" with "Ensueno" FAVORITE QUEEN PERFORMANCE: "Fat Bottomed Girls" live at Milton Keynes Bowl 1982 AND "Somebody To Love" live at MILTON KEYNES BOWL 1982
Great reaction. My favorite is Don’t Stop Me Now from 1979. No problem with shutting your eyes... the better to hear the music, and not my favorite video Anyway LOL.
Love watching your reactions mate, insightful and fun. There is one song I think you would like but not Queen related. Mike and the Mechanics - Living Years. Beautiful song with a beautiful message. Think you would like it to. Stay safe and blessings to you and your family
Fun fact, Queen is the only band in history who's members each wrote #1 hits
It's also one of the few bands that all but one member has a science degree....and the only one I know of that has a member with a PDH in astronomy (Brian May, got his PHD on interstellar dust)
Trying to pick a favourite Queen song is like trying to pick your favourite child!
Hahahahaha!! I just tell each kid they’re my favorite!!
Yes!!! My favourite Queen song is alway whichever I listened to most recently. Right now it’s Innuendo 🤣

Freddie, just like Elvis never lost his ability to belt it out. Even being near death his voice was still present.

Queen - brilliance in production, in action. Award winning writers. Performers extraordinaire. Freddie Mercury best lead singer, still.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
👍🏼
Never too much of Queen ! Here for it !
Freddie was dying during the production of this album, and knew it, so it heavily influenced the songs on it. Personally, I think it's their best album.
This, and Queen 2. Personally, I couldn't decide between them.
"White Queen" live from Hammersmith. Trust me. Freddie madness on the piano.
Definitely this one!!!!
Yes!!
Agree 110%. Sick!!!
Some of my favorite work from Roger Taylor too
YES, the best version of White Queen ❤️

You did hear not the song only, but the message in it as well and it's great. Innuendo is titled to the 90's Bohemian Rhapsody.
'Innuendo' was literally the last Queen album released in 1991 just before Freddie Mercury died late in the year 😷 His battle w/ AIDS was only known by the band, their management & Freddie's male partner & his ex Mary...

Just before he died, he released a statement admitting he had AIDS.
He did tell Monserrat, from his Barcelona album. He loved and trusted her. She could not believe he was sick because his voice was strong.
It’s Spanish flamenco. Ole
Freddie believed in himself and new they were going to be big.

Each Queen member is perfection in their own right. No one stands out over the other. One of the best statements about Queen ever! They were a unit.
"LIAR", "Stone Cold Crazy" and "The Seven Seas of Rhye" Live at the Rainbow, 1974 are all worthy of review.

Queen won the Brit Award for Best Achievement in Music for INNUENDO. The video itself also won the award for achievement in film creativity. The last appearance by Freddie was at the Brit Awards! 🥺 The last song Freddie ever sang was MOTHER LOVE but couldn’t finish so Brian sings the last verse. 🥺Queen has a tribute music video for Freddie called NO ONE BUT YOU (ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG). 🥺 After recording this song bassist John Deacon retires from Queen! He saw no point to continue without Freddie! 🥺
I wouldn’t have either, truth be told. 😢
Freddie Mercury has an interesting biography also. Love your reaction!
Power ballad = "Who Wants to Live Forever." And "White Queen"at Hammersmith is another favorite. Too many to name! (and "Love of My Life" which is probably my favorite)
Yes, I believe....you have to decide what you want to be, work for it and you can make it....but if you let others hand to you what they think you should be, than you are not who you are, but who they want you to be and that ain't free.
“One Vision” & “White Queen” ♥️
This is possibly the best reaction ever to 'Innuendo'. The fact that you are absorbing the music and expressing your own interpretation of the song is really commendable.

Great reaction. I really like Death on two legs, written by Freddie. It really shows a different side of him.
Well said fella. Whatever will be will be, just keep on trying.
U really have to check out " the show must go on " especially when u know the backstory of Freddy and his battle with HIV.
Musical genius
Brian, Roger and John knew the end was near…I listen to the music and Queen wanted to give it there all! Masterpiece of all their work!
One of my favorite albums by Queen is The Miracle made in 1989. Some of the songs (think 4) have videos but this one just has a lyric video. “Was It All Worth It.” All of the songs are good on this album. This album really returns to their rock roots. “Party” “Invisible Man” “Breakthru”. Heck, all the songs are worth hearing!!❤️❤️
Sugar Honey Iced Tea. Never heard that and I LOVE it lol! One of my favorite Queen songs too, oh so good. It's the Sugar Honey Iced Tea!
Innuendo, another classic from The Greatest Band in the World. Try "Tie Your Mother Down" Live at Wembley 1986. Always gets my feet tapping. 😊
Yes but do One Vision right into Tie Your Mother Down!! Unbelievable!!
I liked "Tie your mother down" live at Montreal 1981 more. His voice and moves were on point.
@@amalalharthi4339 Hmmmm - Now that you mention it … Montreal’s is a banger!
Thank you. Is the Master piece
I love what you took away from this and I agree with the sentiment.
Viva flamenco!. You do need to go back & watch too, they sent messages sometimes, especially in these later videos.
“Let Me Live” is a great song with Freddie, Roger, and Brian each singing a verse - backed by a gospel choir. 🔥🎶🔥
Mate, when them eyes close, it's 'cos the music is your soul! We all do that!
Master-piece!!!!
This was their last album. Yes Freddie is singing on this. He was too sick to be in the video. It's a serious and meaningful song. Freddie was determined to continue on before he passed. He wrote and sang some of his most iconic songs at this time. A true professional. Inspiring and a much loved man. Love you Freddie
Check out his song towards the end How Can I Go On with Monserrat Cabelle. Absolutely breath taking.
FAVORITE QUEEN SONG: "Don't Try So Hard"
RUNNER UP: "Let Me Live"
FAVORITE FREDDIE (NOT Queen) SONGS: "Exercises In Free Love" with "Ensueno"
FAVORITE QUEEN PERFORMANCE: "Fat Bottomed Girls" live at Milton Keynes Bowl 1982
AND "Somebody To Love" live at MILTON KEYNES BOWL 1982
The best song to me of Queen ❤
Freddie is the standout.
The prophet’s song! Most epic thing they ever did.
As a black woman that was very very powerful Freddie did that & it really do makes you stop and think 🤔. I really do love Queen
Great reaction. My favorite is Don’t Stop Me Now from 1979. No problem with shutting your eyes... the better to hear the music, and not my favorite video Anyway LOL.
Check out I'm in Love with My Car Live at Montreal, Roger Taylor the Drummer is lead singing there.
Another vote for White Queen live at Hammersmith. Each band member absolutely kills it.
Excellent
Love watching your reactions mate, insightful and fun. There is one song I think you would like but not Queen related. Mike and the Mechanics - Living Years. Beautiful song with a beautiful message. Think you would like it to. Stay safe and blessings to you and your family
