These two were meant to be together...here on earth and in heaven...
And hopefully they’re making music together wherever they are now
RIP two of the worlds greatest singers xx 💋
Just Imagine if we would have been to witness this live In my opinion it would have to be in a stadium with no roof and if there was a roof they would have FKN blown it into Infinity and Waaaay Beyond
Such a beautiful thing to say….
I am 75 years old and just recently discovered Freddie Mercury! OMG! How could I have lived this much of my life and missed out on him. To appreciate him and his talent you need to hear him and Monty do this song. Your reaction was the same as mine. Thank you!
She was the only person Freddie wanted to sing at his funeral and she did. This song was written for the Barcelona Olympics, but it was 2 years from the time she asked Freddie to write it and perform with her and he told her he wouldn't be here in 2 years. This song opened the Barcelona Olympics. They truly had a special love for one another.
Not many Rockstars would even dare to try and hold their own against a Legend like Montserrat Caballe... and prove themselves an equal.
Perfect
Michael Bolton on stage with Pavarotti singing nessum dorma. He held his own
@@mrp7150 true but Freddie did it first he opened the door for these collaborations
@@ravenking85 oh absolutely! I adore Freddie. I admire Mr Boltons voice too, an absolute power house of a voice 👌
That was one of the great, endearing things about Freddie. When it came to his creative output, he never cared what the critics thought. If he wanted to do something, he'd just go for it, boundaries be damned. Of course, he had the talent, skill, work ethic and can-do attitude to back it up, which made people want to go along with his unconventional ideas (just think how much faith the other three members of Queen had to have in him to spend three weeks on "Bohemian Rhapsody"). Montserrat definitely saw this in him too, and she later said in an interview that other singers from the pop and rock world have approached her to do collaborations, but she felt that her time with Freddie was so special that she didn't want to revisit it.
Just when you think it isn't possible to love Freddie Mercury any more than you already do, along comes "Barcelona".
there's a beautiful story about these two. they became great friends - she was the only singer at his funeral. btw, they did an entire album together, he also wrote this song at her request as barcelona was her hometown.
Two angels singing in heaven now
🌹❤️🌹❤️RIP❤️🌹❤️🌹
Probably one of the most emotional pairings ever!
Freddie was a HUGE fan of her. So he got in contact with her to sing. He loved opera and ballet. He wanted to do it all!
And I think she was also a huge fan of him. It's so amazing
Actually Freddie loved opera and went to see Pavarotti. Caballe had a small part. She was a soprano famous for being able to sing high and gently at the same time. Freddie was blown away by her. He asked to meet. They spent their first night at his house collaborating until 6am. There’s so much more to the story. So beautiful their collaboration and so ahead of it’s time. Monsy as he called her adored Freddie. She said his passion and talent blew her away too.
Freddie wrote this beautiful song for her, and we all feel the love.
Never will you see a rock star even attempt singing opera as Freddie did!! Freddie was multitalented and a legend ahead of his time! He accomplished more in his short life then a man could in a 100 yrs!!! Love and miss you Freddie.❤️
this is a marraige of voices made in heaven.
Interviews with her about how Freddie broke the news to her. The tenderness and care between them was a gift beyond this ground breaking collaboration.
Happy Birthday Freddie. We still love you!💔💛💛💛💛💛
Yes Marggie my friend
Hey Karen
I know we all love and miss Freddie, but I do thank you for your show of appreciation and respect for Montserrat Caballé. Yes, she was a true operatic diva known as "La Superba". This title was given her mostly for her extreme breath and volume control, such as holding a pianisimo (very soft) G6 for 22 seconds. There is a street in Barcelona named for her, done while she was still alive. She and Freddie had such a wonderful and special deep friendship which she refers to as one of the happiest years of her life. The whole album they did together is fabulous. Again, thank you for the respect and admiration you show both of these legendary artists.
Dear Pat, i have seen a lot of reaction videos about this song, yours is my absolute favourite one. You can honestly believe that you love our Freddie and his musical mastery. Montserrat was his favourite female Opera singer and they just fell for each other hook line and sinker in a true loving friendship.She is remarkable and thank you for saying Freddie,s voice is unmatchable because it is and thank you for Loving him.
How Can I Go On is just as beautiful.
Happy 75th Birthday Freddie, never forgotten. 🌹
They both meet in heaven like the music said, he passed away in 91 and her in 2018, now the angels have the best ❤ BARCELONA ❤
Have you seen anything more beautiful than Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe’?? Magnificent heavenly angels!! I hope all of Heaven is celebrating Freddie’s birth to this planet earth. How did we get so lucky? 🍀 Happy Birthday Freddie! 🎂🎂🎂 Thanks Pat for thinking of Freddie 💛💛💛💛
Happy 75th birthday Freddie 🍸🎂 never forgotten 💕
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN FREDDIE💗🎂🥂🍾👑💕💞💖🌹💟 YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS 🌹Thank you for this video 🙏
Freddie and Montserrat met in Barcelona for the first time. Montserrat was a bit late and Freddie who really wanted this collaboration was so nervous, that he said: I can't do this, let's go home! 15 minutes after her arrival, Freddie and Montserrat have explored the same kind of humor in eachother and a beautiful friendship began at the Hotel Ritz in Barcelona. Montserrat was exited about working together, because Freddie's music ensured her and her voice new possibilities comparing to the opera. Thanks for the remembering of the Lover of Life and Singer of Songs (by Brian May).
Actually it was Roger who put “Freddy Mercury lover of life, singer of songs” on the statue in Switzerland. 😊
@@kendallneason3645 WOW I never heard that before. Bri always said he did it. I’m taken aback . Are you sure?💕
Actually I recently read that it was Brian who put the inscription on Freddie’s statue in Switzerland. Roger was teasing a reporter in a short doc I viewed ,in front of Brian got that mixed up. Sorry.
Happy birthday Freddie 😇💖🤴💝
Thank you soooo much for not talking over this wonderful duet, Pat!
Happy Heavenly Birthday Freddie! ❤️
Gladly I am old ... I met "Montsy" in person and heard her perform live! ♥ What a beautiful, nice woman with an incredible voice she was! ♥
@K R Yeah! They "loved" eacht other! I talked with her about Freddie ... it was a real, rare friendship between those to genius performers! I still got my signed "Montsy"-poster in my living room. Everybody who sees it for the first time is blown away and loves it! And so do I daily, when I see it! :-) I loved to hear Montsy laughing ... extremly loud, but full of passion! ♥
@K R yeah, it was more than 2 words ... we talked about 40 mins. as you like opera, ... do yourself a favour and check out "fritz wunderlich" - for example "granada". you don't hear voices like that anymore. one fo the greatest opera-singers ever!
@@JohnHazelwood58 Oh wow, I’m a bit jealous…I am a huge fan who found her too late. Not that it matters, I was born too late to have a realistic chance to meet her as an adult. I’m happy for you though - you got to meet the queen of the opera❤️
@@flav2689 I got you and fully understand what you are talking about. Really! But don't be jealous, please ... be happy for me!! :)
No one in the past or the presence as the stage presence as freddie Mercury or the voice as he does RIP to both of them 🙏 💔
Freddie wrote the song he loved opera. I think Freddie could hold his own with anyone.
I love them together, so adorable, two great artists who adored each other❤️💙Barcelona album is incredible , I love every song
Montse was the last true opertic diva of our time there will not be another. She was called a national treasure by the king of Spain and she was also known as La Superba. They loved each other and made beautiful music together and now they are singing it in heaven we miss them both!
Miss you Freddie, and 👑. 🎂 Happy birthday ❤️ . 💕 Forever remembered 💋
Happy Birthday, Dear Freddie! Never forgotten💛💜❤️
Freddie always adored Montserrat and he wrote Barcelona for her. With her status it would've been very hard for any other rock star to get her to sing with them. But, she's knew he would serve her well. One of my favs. Thanks
LEGENDS!!!!!
Happy Birthday Freddie! We love you forever! This was a great choice for a birthday reaction. The story I have heard is that as soon as Freddie heard Montsy for the first time singing his song, he was so proud and said, "now I have the best voice in the world singing my song." He wrote or co-wrote all the songs for the Barcelona album, which, given that Opera is very different genre, shows what an amazing musician he was. Thank you for the reaction.
That recording is incredible 🤯🤯
Freddie had a 7 octave range. No one better to sing with Monserrat and God is truly blessed to have them both with him. Our loss.
At the end you can see him tell her, "I love you"😢😊
However much I want to cry at the loss of Freddie, especially with a song like this, by God I want to spend even more time praising the amazing talent we got to evperience thanks to him
A great review, no talking until the end, perfect.
They did an album together. "Golden boy", and "How can I go on" are just a few songs from it to react to.
One of our leading sopranos today. Even Freddie was stunned at first when he realized the power of her voice and he stepped up to it. Absolutely brilliant.
Aww God BLESS you Today is a good day to do this memory First Happy Birthday DARLING Freddie love an miss you ,but listen an see you every day 🥰🤩❤️🙏 an love watching ur reaction 😍😘🥰💜💟💖💞👑🌹♾️💘🎉✌️🌠🎆🇬🇧💐💥💫👏👏👏👏👏🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Beautiful song for a beautiful City ❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
Freddie Mercury did had a real opera choice to, besides his Queen shows. Miss him and his music. 💖
For some reason I've been watching people react to this song recently and yours has been my favourite by far. It's a song that touches the soul.
Freddie and Montserrat did a complete album together which is absolutely beautiful. Montserrat has a wonderful operatic voice, but Freddie excelled in matching her in these songs - amazing man! He was music through and through, and was not afraid to try different genres of music. They had such a close friendship - such love and respect for one another which you can see in their faces when they sing together.
Happy Freddie’s birthday!
Happy birthday my love Freddie ❤❤❤❤🎊🎊🎊beautiful song with Montsy amazing voices
Wow 🥰 that's so beautiful 😍❤️ Freddie Mercury ❤️ Freddie and Montserrat ❤️
Happy birthday Freddy, listen to Freddy singing “exercise in free love “ outstanding 🏴🏴🏴
Hi Sharon, Pat did do a reaction to that💕 (It BLEW his mind!)
Listen to their other duos from the same album.
Yes ! You and I and the world love Freddy Mercury !!!! I'm still grieving his loss 30 long years ago.
Momentos irrepetibles. Leyendas eternas.
Thank You this means Alot to us his Fans an you my Dear are Special I love watching you gosh you brought tears to my Eyes 🙏🌹😘🥰😍
Yes Freddie introduced Opera to the Masses ! and held his own with Monserratt ( well as much as anyone ever could !! ) Ultimate Diva !! ( Both of them !! ) X
Beautiful 💜💜💜
Legends!!!
Hey my friend have you heard FREDDIE sing any Opera at all ? Well you just did. Do you really want to hear him sing soprano in Opera ? Well check out the song EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE. He sang it for Montserrat Caballe before they did an whole album. The album is called BARCELONA and the are good songs on it like HOW CAN I GO ON and THE GOLDEN BOY along with the song BARCELONA. Thank you for doing this video. I am a huge QUEEN fan from Burkburnett, Texas. Take care your friend, QUEEN BEE.
I love that you didn't stop that and you seemed touched by that magic. I love when your generation appreciates different types of music. Queen is the ruler and she's not bad either.
When Freddie and Monserrat gave an interview in a hot garden in Spain, there was a moment that he says to Montsè (Montsè for friends) that, if she wants it, that this song could be used for the Olympic Games. She was very happy about that. And they made one album 💿 with ten songs on it. He learned Japanese also for that. Freddie could reach four octaves.
Mil veces que la oigas , mil veces que te emocionara. Grandes , leyendas eternas.❤❤❤
Oh my god so glad you reacted to this. So unexpected t me. I´m from Spein and this is from my childhood. Montserrat OMG!!!!!!!! I´ve hard some few clips from her singing opera and OMFG
They genuinely loved each other a match made ready for heaven ❤️ ❤️
It's pure magic and perfection! Beautiful! Greetings from PORTUGAL. And I caught this is a awful day for me because my dear Uncle passed away and it's creating emotionally so much mixed feelings that I can't stand it. My God
This played at the Barcelona Olympics. And Teo Torriatte just played at the beginning of the Tokyo Olympics a few months ago.
Happy birthday Freddie Mercury so glad you got to finally see this can't wait for you to keep on exploring the greatest man in history
Freddie Mercury the greatest all around performer 👑!!! Happy Birthday Freddie 💋❤️, you are loved more than you ever imagined!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love your reaction! Please take the time to watch the live performances of this song. As with Queen, the live performance blows the video away! This song was premiered at the celebration of the announcement of Barcelona as the Olympic City for 1992. Freddie and Montserrat were supposed to sing it at the Olympic opening in 1992 but unfortunately Freddie had passed by then.
My FAVORITE performance from the Barcelona album is "The Golden Boy".... part opera/part gospel !💕
Thanks, Pat! Happy Birthday, Freddie! Never forgotten. Queen Forever.
Let me tell you something they are both in heaven singing together again . I'm so happy to see you appreciate different music.
This is the best reaction video I've ever seen. God bless Freddy, Monserrat and you for sharing this masterpiece.🙏❤️🙏
OMFG !! that review made me cry ! so i'm going to watch it agin an yes a vocal match made in Heaven !!xxx
R E S P E C T!!!!!!!! DAMN....JUST NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THIS MAGICAL DUET.....FREDDIE & MONTSERRAT....4EVER 🙏🏼💘
Happy Birthday Freddie the Greatest ❤️ we still love you. Later on you should hear Ensueno from the same album so beautiful. Great reaction 🙂
Loved your reaction! And LOVE Freddie and Montserrat Caballe together. Freddie is a brilliant musical genius. 💖
Emotional and exquisite!! Love this.
Lovely reaction to a beautiful piece that showcases both opera and rock styles of singing, beautifully in harmony and counterpoint.
Just beautiful...two very different voices that worked wonderfully together. Happy birthday Freddie ❤
Happy Birthday, Freddie. I am also thinking of Mary, today.....the Love of Your Life........sure she is very sad and reminiscent like the rest of those who adore you. You were a 'one of' and blessed to live and entertain in an era of real vocal talent, no technology and live instruments........... such a perfect fit. Technology is working in your favour in one aspect, a whole new generation are being introduced to you, Brian, Roger and John..........and are able to see 'real' musical talent during its finest hour.
Pres. Pat: I am going to suggest a couple of must listens for you: Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli singing THE PRAYER. Celine doing "ALL BY MYSELF" I'd also suggest Brian, Roger and John tribute to Freddie entited No One But You and then Brian and an opera star do it in a duet...........Also check out Gladys Knight and the Pips doing 'The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me and Neither One of Us.
One of the greatest ever, Freddie Mercury lives on in his music. So loved and missed RIP ❤️
Makes your heart pound RIP to great stars
I’m smiling from ear to ear watching your reaction. I think Freddie & Montsy would too! The back story on their friendship & their collaboration on this album is amazing. He & Mike Moran composed the entire thing. (Non queen project).
Their singing together again. ❤️ Legends both.
Pure magic ... just love it.. its unmatched .. so uplifting ! phenomenal
Agreed!! That was magic for sure. Brilliant vocals. Omg.
Freddie IS the jewel in the sun. Thank you Freddie for touching my soul. This epic music will never be done again. We are fortunate to have this on video.
Love you forever Freddie!
You have to hear the demo he sent her "Exercises in Free Love" it's almost in the same octaves as her, so much so, when people first heard it, they thought it was her on his album, when in fact it was all him and it's what he sent to her as a demo when he wanted to collaborate with her to create the Barcelona Album. You really should give it a listen, it will be one of the most beautiful things you've heard. He is like an angel singing from Heaven. No words, just vocal ranges and his piano playing. You will be able to hear the "rock" Freddie come out every now and then when he comes down the scale. Disregard, you did already listen to it, but your other viewers may not have heard of it, so they should check it out...lol
Freddie and Montessrat speak for themselves. Two of the greatest performers of all time. Sadly, no one's name but Freddie's name (because of the fantastic performance) is mentioned. But this could not have happened with the conductor who by the way name is Mike Moran. He co-wrote this fantastic pop opera with Freddie. Mike is much more than the guy with the illuminated wand. He is a musical genius as well.
What a fantastic duet of two great singer we love them both
Freddie was such an amazing soul. He coulddo anything he set his mind too. He is a true Lengend and I am grateful for all the tremendous amount of music he left us. Rest in Power and Peace Freddie 🙏😇❤
Freddie and Monserrat were made for each other and they adored each other so much. I think he told Monserrat about his HIV infection before he told the band. If you want to listen to another song from their album I highly recommend "Golden Boy", a lovely song with major gospel vibes.
They loved each other deeply & were such great friends. It shows how versatile he was, he literally could do it all. I hope he knows how very loved & missed he is xx❤❤
I think a next song you should check out would be Queen's Live Its a Hard Life. Its a great song and I think you will enjoy it as you get to see Freddie play more of the piano along with singing with the band.
Amazing and outstanding performance. If you have not yet listened to Freddie doing "Exercises In Free Love" you should. It was a song that Freddie was writing for this album. Freddie is singing Montserrat's part on a tape to send to her to get her approval as to if she would be comfortable with singing it as one of the songs on the album. Freddie is hitting all those high notes on that tape. It is amazing.
What a moving performance! RIP Freddie, such a magnificent performer gone too soon. Thank you for such a great reaction.
A master piece it was simply beautiful they were very good friends and made a couple of Albums together so sad 😞 that there no longer with us Love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😞👼😢💔🙏🙏
I absolutely loved your reaction to this ! I also love Freddie and these two singing together is phenomenal ! Amazing performance
NO SE PUEDE DECIR MAS SON EXCELSOS UNA FORMIDABLE COMBINACION DE VOCES SON UNOS REYESEN EL ESCENARIO HECHOS DESDE EL CIELO💪💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️🧛🤴🤴🤴
The orchestration and choir participating in this masterpiece has me joyous that Freddie surely did HIS thing on this. No QUEEN impact to me. Loved the result of these Divas intentionally giving a performance evidencing their different genres. Fabulous! Really glad you reacted. Thanks much.
