Hey everyone, Queen has by far become my favorite band ever and it would be my dream to see them live while it’s still possible. Unfortunately i don’t have the money to be able to do it. If any of you could help me that would mean the world to me, even just $1 could make the difference between me being able to go or not. If you want to help you can donate through my paypal link in the description or with the “Thanks” button to the right of the Like button. Of course if you can’t that’s totally okay, and i completely understand :)
This wasn’t music, it was a masterpiece by two incredible legends from different ends of the industry spectrum. Never will we have the likes of this again.
Wow 🤩 beautiful sweet Freddie ❤️ Freddie was a perfectionist and because they didn't have enough time for rehearsal due to Montsy s busy schedule he didn't want to risk it 🤩he was diagnosed with AIDS at time but his voice was amazing as ever 😍he told Montsy that he wasn't sure he'll be around for the 1992 Olympic games that Montsy wanted to sing it together live, dear Freddie died November 1991😭
Freddie maravilloso y, Montserrat también
While this is not opera, per se, it is sung with a famous Spanish soprano. Years prior, Freddie had gone to the opera to hear another singer, but when Montserrat sang her part, he was in love with her voice. Long story longer, they finally met when she overheard his interview stating hers was the best voice out there. The two actually had fun singing & improvising. (She was not a stuffy diva, nor was he). Montsy asked him to write a song for the upcoming Olympics in Barcelona. He complied and this was the result! A gorgeous blending of their two very unique vocal styles. They went on to record a complete album of all new compostions by Freddie. Resulting in the record also called "Barcelona", which is my favorite of his 'solo' projects.
Wow! Thanks for telling me all that, super cool to get the history behind Freddie and Monsterrat. He definitely had a rich and full life. This was an incredible piece, i’ll have to check out the rest of the album for sure :)
In my opinion How Can I Go on is their best ❤
Isn’t this collaboration amazing? Freddie doubted he could prove his worth against opera great Montserrat Caballe. He came into contact with her after he revealed she was his favorite performer in an interview, after seeing her sing alongside Luciano Pavarotti. They met for the first time in Barcelona!! ❤❤ Gotta THE GOLDEN BOY next!
I’ve already recorded reactions to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and ‘In My Defence’ but i will do Golden Boy after :) 💛
@@TrevorReaction Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
Montserrat was the number 1 operatic soprano in the world at this time and until her death. Freddie truly admired her and was so nervous to meet her and have her sing one of his songs. They ended up making an album and this song was played at the Barcelona Olympics as was intended. Sadly Freddie had already passed so it was not a live performance.
They are both singing in Heaven now. We are very lucky to be able to still hear their beautiful voices. ❤❤
Yes, to The Golden Boy. Freddie bring rock to opera, again.
Exercise in Free Love,will blow you away
this brings me to tears when I see it . I can not name any other singer , performer, and songwriter I know that held a stellar career with one of the greatest bands on Earth , had multi platinum records , and legendary status with nearly every other artists in the industry of ALL genres from Pop to Rap. Then can stand on stage and hold his own with Monsterrat Caball'e, one of the greatest opera divas of the 20th century. Just absofreaking lutely unbelievable! Rest In Peace to both Freddie and Monsterrat. Freddie you and Queen inspired me into a life of Music and performing .. Someday I hope I can thank you when I reach that Lofty music hall in the sky.
You must hear How Can I Go On. It’s just as marvelous as this.
Freddie was so much more than a rock singer, he was a brilliant musician, an excellent singer, songwriter, storyteller. He had an eclectic musical taste and the range to sing operatic songs. Montserrat Caballé was one of the most famous opera divas of the last century. Montserrat was brave enough to take the risk to sing with a rock star, because she recognized The Musician in Freddie instantly. If you like opera, you should listen to Freddie's favourite aria sang by Montserrat called D'amor sull'ali rosee.
Freddie looking very dapper❤
Very dapper! They both look great
The whole album is amazing. These are incredible singers from very different backgrounds meshing beautifully.
Two voices made a perfect jing&jang energy😊
The song was performed by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, who Freddie declared to be one of the most beautiful women he ever met. Caballe requested that Freddie write a song about her hometown, and he did so, in Barcelona, a song about meeting a lover in a breathtakingly beautiful city. Mercury had befriended the operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe and had long admired her music. In 1987 and 1988 they recorded a whole album of pop-operatic material. >>
This was supposed to be the theme song for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games held in Barcelona, Spain; however, the organizers chose another song at the last minute due to Freddie Mercury's untimely death at the end of 1991 from AIDS, to avoid controversy. However, the song was still performed at the opening ceremonies, Caballe performing live to a backing track featuring Freddie's vocals.
Thank you Trevor, another great review. Please continue with The Golden Boy and How Can I Go On. Freddie's Exercises in Free Love was basically a demo for Montserrat as he sang her part. She put words to it and sang it at one of her performances giving Freddie full credit and introducing him as composer to the opera audience. That song is also on the album, along with The Fallen Priest etc. Mike Moran and Tim Rice were heavily involved in creating this lovely album. Mike Moran was the pianist for Dave Clark's songs "Time" and "In My Defence" that Freddie sang for the musical production "Time" that featured many top performers of the day. I think "Exercises In Free Love" will blow you away. Please review that one when you have the opportunity. Well done, as always
Thanks Sharon for all the kind words. Have been getting quite a few requests for Freddie’s other solo work including ‘The Golden Boy’ and ‘How Can I Go On’ so I’ll definitely check them out as well as the Dave Clark songs :) 💛
Yes!!
Reached number 8 in the uk charts in 1987, then climbed even higher 1992 to number 2
This entire album is worth a listen… it’s amazing. Freddie and Montsy adored each other; she knew Freddie wasn’t going to be with us too much longer and she was there for him as a friend until the end of his life. Great reaction.. will look forward to others from this collaboration!
Brilliant and beautiful! Bravo dear Freddie, and Monserrat ❤❤❤❤
I totally agree with your opinion! This is a great performance !!!
Fantastic performance. Honestly blew me away with how awesome the song and their stage presence is here
Still gives me chills! Saw Quenn twice, Freddie threw his towel to my sister! Gentleman Extraordinaire! ❤👑❤😊
exactly, Freddy doesnt have to prove he can sing live (in normal conditions) and she is an Opera singer, so she always sings live as well.
Thanks a lot. ❤Barcelona was written by Freddie (in the album "Barcelona" you have also "The golden boy" and "How can i gon on" in video, etc ...)
Besides, may i recommend "Let me in your heart again" and "In my defence" ?
Will definitely react to all of those
Thanks for the suggestions:)
thanks, Trevor! I hope you hear more of their collaborations!
Will definitely react to their other songs they did together :)
@@TrevorReaction Thanks, Trev!
This song never fails to give me chills! ❤
Barcelona, oh my, one of my favorite Freddie Mercury songs.❤
Its delightful to see your expressions watching this
Thanks! It was a great song :)
An unmatched superb musical treat! Thanks for the attention.
Pure talent.
The only way the audience knew it was lip sync was when Freddie took a step to the left and fell, and the singing played on. His left foot was in so much pain from the blisters caused by AIDS that he could hardly stand on it. 😢
How ca ha go on
Loved your reaction. These two were incredible. I'm so glad they collaborated. I never would have heard her were it not for Freddie. He was right about her voice. Absolutely stunning.
Absolutely NO lip syncing. If you watch the other performances from that set, including "How Can I Go On", the air temperature and humidity at the outdoor venue had changed and you can see the breath of both singers as they performed.
It was absolutely lip synced. It's exactly the same as the single, zero difference. Freddie wouldn't sing these live, he has confidence issues because of his illness.
Indeed. As a general rule opera singers do not use mic's, that's why they train their voices. I must say, of all the reactions to this, and all the comments, this is the first time I've ever come across the suggestion that they were lip syncing. You are right about their breath in the air, too. To suggest Montserrat Caballe, of all people, would lip synch is just downright disrespectful.
@TenCapQuesada she was though, as did he.
@@jpw6893 If you have evidence that they did, please present it. I believe the evidence of their breath showing in the night air is sufficient evidence to the contrary, IMHO.
@gen81465 have you evidence they were not? How about this? You can clearly hear him singing backing as well as the main singing. Also look at the other live songs in which he magically sings 2 lines at the same time, in particular 'How can I go on'. The fact that this is identical to the studio version, as in totally identical should be proof enough.
Tu es super pour présenter mon idole pour la vie!!
Now react Freddie and Montserrat singing How Can i go on. It's gold.
Rip Montserrat a true opera Diva.....
I seen this when it was first recorded, 34 years ago
VIVA FREDDIE AND MONTSY!!!
You should listen to exercises in free love which is a demo tape that Freddy sent to Montserrat were he is singing her part to get her approval. The finished song is called Ensueno another great song
'they were singing live, trust me.
That’s amazing
He must be singing but without a mike
Even if its the studio recording thats being played over top of the performance, i have no doubt that he and Montserrat are singing live even if they’re not mic’ed up
Hey Trevor... thank you, I always enjoy Freddie's singing... and congrats on your pronunciation of Montsy's name, that was perfect... BUT, where did you get the idea it was lip-synced??? I have NEVER heard that before... Queen was forced to lip-sync on "Top of the Pops" the several times they performed there, and they HATED IT!! Also, this was two years before he really got sick... blessings.
Oh, i assumed it was lip-synced as i didn’t see any microphones. But i could always be wrong! Incredibly impressive if they were singing live there, either way they are both amazing performers and yes i heard Freddie hated lip-syncing and only did it if he absolutely had to and was forced to
@@TrevorReaction Great observation, you'r right it's lip synch, but done very well.
This is the only performance he couldn't do live cos he was so nervous. Who can compare with an opera singer like Monty. But he could. Freddie could sing anything.
this song was written to open the barcelona olympics but Freddie sadly had died by then.
This boy who accompanies the great Montserrat Caballé does not sing badly.
A good reaction , keep it up, All the best from Wales :)
I'm a big Queen/Mercury fan, but they didn't sing it live. The event was broadcast live, but this was mimed.
Play the Game, Montreal is best video but Milton Keynes is m favorite. You haven’t even scratched the surface,, lol.
No haha, i’m looking forward to all of the songs i haven’t heard yet :)
Glad there’s such a large catalog
News flash: this was live and he did not lip sync the voice track. All his live voice. It’s false that he lip synched it
Wow, extremely impressive. Definitely one of the best singers ever

Lip Sync....got some conformation on that ?
Could totally be live vocals, i’ve just heard from others that it was lip-synced, also i don’t see any microphones anywhere. If it was live though that would be amazing! Either way they were both great performers, and Freddie doesn’t have to prove he can sing live, he’s the best at it!
@TrevorReaction Neither had a Mic unless on their person, not making a big tado out of the lip sync just never heard such a thing and for that to get started if it's not truth is kinda sad...either way no other voice like his ...Thanks & the Best to You!
I hope ur in ur own and not an Uber.😂
of course 😂 why would i be in an uber
@@TrevorReaction lol . U never know. Just playing, great reaction. 🤘❤️
Lip synch?
