Doe, I couldn’t turn on the subtitles or captions in Spanish. But I’ll figure it out. You know, it’s so adorable that, just like Brian did in the 80s, you have us Latin Americans also in your mind. I can totally help you with any translations. Seriously, honestly. I can help, freely and happily 🙂👍🏽
@@erickinfantas2564 Does nothing happen if you click the cc button? That normally brings up the English Closed Captions but then if you click on the cog you should be able to toggle to Spanish...supposedly lol!
I love this song!! The way Freddie looks into the camera and his small gestures … I’m hooked. Tho lip-synced, love watching Freddie all dapper in his tux!! 🤵🏻♂️🤵🏻♂️🤵🏻♂️🤵🏻♂️
I often thought that possibly Freddie and Roger were off out to some function afterwards and that's why they were dressed this way?? Freddie was so handsome in his suits... especially in the Montserrat collaboration period. Freddie actually took to those suits really well...
Doe! You’re back with Queen!! Yes! You know, I gotta congratulate you. The fact that you have the vinyl and you refrain to listen to it all just to save your first impressions to be captured on video? Wow! Thank you, Doe. You’re so generous in sharing this with all of us. You’re awesome!
Back with Queen at last! It's been a while right! Haha yes sometimes it is tempting to want to listen to a song but I prefer to save it for us to listen all together 😄💚
@@DoeDarling and we all, the world and Queen fans around it, we all THANK YOU!! You bring us back when we first listened to all of these on vinyl or cassettes. Thank you, Doe. You awesome 🙏🏽👍🏽
This song is a tribute to the South American fans, which Queen wrote as a love tribute to them, after their mega successful South American tour, the band had in 1981. Where the band would pay tribute to their love for the South American fans who gave them so much love during the 1981 tour.
Yes, “Hot Space” was controversial back then. The influence of that Prenter guy (ugh) caused a lot of tension in the band. But regardless of what they were expected to do back then, them four were amazing musicians, very versatile and eclectic. They could pull off almost anything! I think only hardcore Queen fans could throughly enjoy the “Hot Space” album. It is GOOD, people! My favorite, “Staying Power” by Freddie, album version, Arif Marden horn arrangement. INSANE!! 👏🏽 Brian even wrote “Despacito” in this “Palabras…” song decades before the big hit nowadays! Pioneer! Our dear Brian wrote this song with Spanish words there to honor of all of us in Latin America for the warm welcome we gave them in 1980- 1981. His spoken Spanish is actually very very good! Listen to him on a Venezuelan interview. Amazing! Dr. May, what a guy 👍🏽
The "Hot Space" album gets a bad rap. Side B of the album is as good as any of their material from the '80s, and even though side A is mostly disco, it's wonderfully produced and has memorable hooks. And I don't care what anyone says; "Another One Bites the Dust" from "The Game" is also a disco tune, and no one seems to have a problem with that.
It also became a message of peace between Britain and Argentina when the Falklands/Malvinas conflict broke out. The band always tried to keep out of politics. I bought Hot Space when it came out and was quite shocked by it, I was a hard rocker at the time and all that funk stuff...though I grew to like it. Some of those songs became much better live, like 'Staying Power' - I saw Queen live twice that year, 1982. 'Dancer' was something of a forerunner/foreshadow to Michael Jackson's 'Beat It' - a funky song containing a heavy metal guitar solo.
Look at Freddie's expression on his face, you can tell how disgusted he is with the playback performance. At least they did not put the blue tape strips on Roger's cymbals as they had done in the "Killer Queen" video. Freddie even turns his back while he supposedly is still singing. 😂😂So typical, you just have to love him❣
WOW WOW WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG Las Palabras De Amor sung BEAUTIFULLY BY Freddie Mercury & Queen. BRILLIANT REACTION Doe ❤👍LOOKING FORWARD to YOUR NEXT REACTION. Paul
Just love this song listen to it often.Freddie hated miming that's why he often left the microphone. I understand about Freddie hard to keep yor eyes off him.
Hi Doe. Nothing wrong with your love for Freddie. Yes you are right side2 of the Hot Space album is both awesome with greatly different songs & let's face it songs that any Queen fan would play on a loop. Thank you for your reaction as always I really enjoyed it. Hopefully your next reaction could be Liar.
Such a beautiful song! I totally agree, like a warm hug indeed! This was in tribute to all their Latin American fans and culture, just as "Teo Toriatte" was in tribute to their Japanese fans! Have you heard the song soul brother? If not, I highly recommend it! No worries about you crushing on Freddie, he definitely looked sharp and hot in that suit (of course, he simply rocked any look!)! I have a huge crush on (Sir) Brian May, so no need to apologize whatsoever! BTW, the biggest congrats about Sir Brian's knighthood, I'm still ecstatic for him!! If anyone truly has earned and deserves it, its him!
I love your channel especially your Queen reactions ❤ going back to early Queen I know you loved In The Lap of The Gods revisited still would love you to react to In The Lap of The Gods the original one from the Rainbow 1974 my crush is Roger ❤❤keep up the good work xx
Have always loved this song. But because this album is disliked by some fans the song is hardly mentioned. Chatting with a fan mention this song and a part of the lyrics, they just looked blank. They had the album but never listened to it. Freddie in a tux and pumps, a style only ha can pulled in such class.
So glad you're back with Queen, Doe. I've missed you. I love the "Hot Space" album. Have you heard "Back Chat"? John Deacon wrote it. Both Roger and Brian hated it, and dance music in general. Freddie and I loved it. I think the only live version of this one is Live at the Bowl '82 and it was played way too fast IMO. It would be great if you could react to the "In the Lap of the Gods" from Live at the Rainbow '74. One of my most favorite performances! It is the start of a medley with three more tunes, all magnificent.
Great one !! Freddi's vocals are so awesome just written by brian to the fans of Argentina that's why the Spanish words love it and loving your reactions thanks❤🩷🧡💯
I’ve never listened to Queen play this.. I’ve only heard it sung by Zucchero at Freddie’s tribute concert.. you might enjoy it.. he nailed it! Thanks for posting.. nice reaction, even tho I know the band hated doing these Top of the Pops concerts.
I've heard the song before but never saw this video. Thanks for posting! (By the way, I saw a compliment to you in comments of one of your recent videos. A man said he was 40 and has a daughter "about your age". Once again, people think you're in your twenties. You truly are beautiful and ageless!)
The positive of all the criticism they received for ‘going disco’ was the awesome Hot space tour. They really seemed hell bent on rocking it up a notch to show the critics . Even the ‘disco’ tracks rock out on that. Check out Ryan Newton of this parish , he’s uploaded some awesome gigs from this tour . Edinburgh ‘bath house’ as Freddie refers to it and some of the German shows are incredible.
Hot Space is one of my top Queen albums. I remember when I first heard it I did think it was terrible but the problem was I judged it before it began due to media influence. It quickly changed for me the more heard the album.I think if anything, this album was 5 years ahead of its time. Some of the Songs would have been fine in 1987 or 88. I fully agree with your confusion at the perception. Staying Power is very different on the album itself, very keen to see your reaction to the album version.
So GOOD to see you Doe, AND Missy! I know... Freddie looks so gorgeous and in his prime here, I CANNOT ever watch this without MELTING. And Sir Brian... Is it POSSIBLE to do any more multitasking?!?😄 I love how the guys all get to choose whatever they want to wear, so you have Bri in some kind of bomber jacket. Deaky's wearing the same outfit that he wore for Queen's 1982 appearance on Saturday Night Live when they performed "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Under Pressure". (Which sadly ended up being their LAST-ever appearance on American TV, outside of Live Aid, thanks to the MTV cronies blocking "I Want To Break Free" and thus PISSING off Freddie - NEVER piss off Freddie! But I'm digressing, SORRY.) I personally LIKE Hot Space... I just think it got a "bad rap" because it was "different". P.S. This is just an UNRELATED SIDE-NOTE... It happened to come to mind when you mentioned them having mimed this performance, but has to do with the Wembley concert - which I know you haven't gotten into yet: Just FYI (in case this is something that would matter to you)... In the commonly-seen video of the opening for the concert, "One Vision" - so this includes the official video on Queen's channel - there is some QUITE significant overdubbing that was done in (just a little bit of) Freddie's vocals. It was done when they were preparing the concert for video release...I really don't know WHY they did this, because I think his original vocals sound FANTASTIC... but they overdubbed with his studio vocals on a couple of lines, to put in higher-sung lines than what he actually sang live. ANYWAY... There IS available on TH-cam, videos from two different sources, with the opening "One Vision" performance that has the ORIGINAL LIVE sound minus the studio overdubbing. I recognize that you always use Queen's official videos - which is understandable - but, I just wanted to share the information.🤗
Don’t listen to anyone. This album is great and the one of my favorites. As with all Queen albums there is a diverse collection of many song types. People love to hate on Body Language but if you listen to Deacy’s base tone it is so wonderful. Love your reactions Doe! You make me laugh.
Hiiiii!!! I really want to suggest you a live Queen performance. it's called "you take my breath away, 1976 live at hyde park" it is SO amazing and Freddie's voice is just surreal... please react to it if you haven't already!
Hi Doe so lovely to see Missy looking so good, I did fear the worst as we haven't seen her in a while since you're anniversary vlog in fact.You all stay safe. Freddie the King of Queen forever.
I am hooked watching your reactions to Queen songs! If you can, try We Are The Champions in Wembley ‘86, watch it all the way till the end when they put God Save The Queen. Also, the fast version of We Will Rock You that opens the concert in Montreal ‘81. Keep on with the content! Thanks!
I’m with you girl I understand ❤lol. I also have Freddie Fever ❤️🔥❤️🔥 I can’t get enough lol.. the entire band is legendary 🎉🎉 love Roger and Brian and Deaky but Freddie in a tux I agree makes your heart start beating at an incredibly fast rate instantaneously 😂
A little context: Queen had Toured South America (Argentina and Brazil) in Feb/march 1981, and they were completely amazed by the audience's response (especially the Argentina crowd), if you ever see “love of my life “ from Argentina ‘81, you will see brian just stop playing the guitar and shaking his head in disbelief, that is why they decided to pay a little tribute to the Spanish speaking audience, unfortunately, war broke between Argentina and UK in April ‘82, nevertheless if you pay attention right before “love of my life” in Milton Keynes ‘82, which was during the war, Brian plays a few chords from “Las palabras de amor” and dedicates the song to the people fighting “no matter where they come from”
I remember an interview where Roger said they all hated To do Top of the pops . Because they were not allowed to really perform. But it was a stepping stone
I’ve never seen an interview with Roger that when Top of the Pops is mentioned he doesn’t slag them off, he hates it! I don’t know if it’s true but there was an article some time ago that said Roger and Freddie got into an argument with the producer the first time they were on as they couldn’t play live …..
Playback isn't Queen. They are Performers, who had to do it live. Or without the crowd in the studio in perfection. Nothing else. I think 'Hot Space' is more Deaky's LP, than Brians or Rogers. Maybe that's why Deaky looks satisfied and cool.😉
Hi, Doe. Thank you for your review. I've always been intrigued by this performance. It is obvious that Freddie is holding back because of the many restrictions of the TV show. Roger and Brian have stated their dislike of the format. That being said, I love watching Freddie in everything he does.
I think of "Hot Space" as a bold move from a band that could easily have created yet another album in the same vein as "The Game". That was the first album with their new German producer, Reinhold Mack - but still a fairly traditional rock album. I definetely don't think of "Hot Space" as a mistake. But they are perhaps playing with genres where they didn't excel like they usually did, so it was no surprise that the critics butchered it back then. In direct competition with other pop chart hits from 1982-1983 the songs aren't impressive... "Noblesse oblige", as they say. Queen was an exceptional rock band that managed to remain incredibly succesful even after radically changing the sound that made them famous in the first place. I really don't think any other band has achieved that. Their following album (their first global hit album "The Works") is often mentioned as a 'step back to the roots', but soundwise it is still radically different from their legendary albums from the 1970s. And I don't think "The Works" could have been made without "Hot Space".
It’s funny Doe I already know this track but saw this exact same video for the first time yesterday! Hot space came out in 1982, the year I was born. Can you do a reaction to the song Scandal please ? I think you will like it. Aw little missy such a cutie ! 🐾
I do remember I did not like this album when it was released. But Queen played almost any song of this record during their open air concert in Berlin and it was amazing. Probably, this record did not match the Zeitgeist during that time. Thank you for reminding me. BTW, the cover symbolizes a popular electronic music game during that time (guessing a tone sequence).
Princes of the Universe!! Queen rules!! Queen ROCKS! Hahahaha Freddy always the clown the joker! Reminds me a lot about John Lennon that way... Genius musical ability, bouts of depression and having difficulty identifying as any "human norm", yet always the clown onstage. Kindness and affection, but with a bout of ugliness at times (as Roger Taylor used to say, "That rotter, Freddy!" lol).
I think this song was number one in Argentina on the moment the Falklands war between UK and Argentina started (wich was 2 weeks after Queen's shows there). It was a huge hit in Southern America but not so much in the rest of the world. (26 in both Flanders and the Netherlands). This is one of the only two songs i really like from this album, the other one is of course Under Pressure. Hot Space is , for Queen standards, not a brilliant one as it's an experiment that didnt work out well, though It's not as bad as some people say. Fun fact : the video for Body language (wich i think is one of their worst songs) is in the Guiness book of records as the first video ever to be banned by MTV. I havent seen you doing songs from the A kind of Magic album so I'd love to hear your opinon about "Don't lose your head". Freddie's singing is impressive on that song. PS it was nice to see Missy again :).
They tell a story with their albums, they are themes, to be listened to in full, in order. They do it deliberately to take you on a journey, as they do on all albums. They are never 1 genre, it is Queen.
I have listened to Hot Space and don't know why people don't like it. I have always liked all genres of music. Queen in my opinion can do no wrong. Take that back there is one song I can't listen to , Chinese Torture.
Hot Space is a mix. More than half of the album's the not-so-beloved "I'm totally disco now"-tracks, which have aged rather poorly with that phase being locked on to the thought that this phase got Freddie into the crosshairs of a certain disease. It's not that they're _bad_ disco-pop tracks, it's just that they're not exactly the genres-defying real greatness that Queen can achieve. Las Palabras De Amor is a nice track, but again, it's not like it's blowing anyone's mind from a creativity/quality point of view. Still a good track, just not the perfection we came to expect. :) As I usually say: Hot Space is not a _bad_ album per se, but it is put in perspective to other _Queen_ albums.
Oh, another thought that comes to mind: It's also that while Queen was known for pushing the envelope with their albums, this overall just seemed much more a "trying to fit in" vibe in the early 80s. It's of course much different to listen to it now than it was when it was new. That end-of-70s disco funk bop sound was not the future then. I feel musically, they got their act back together with "The Works".
Can you tell they really didn't like doing, 'Top Of the Pops', performances? 🤣 Their hearts really aren't in the whole miming to a backing track on a TV performance, thing. But then, they never were. The, 'Hot Space', album wasn't all that well received by fans when it was first released. A far cry from their usual output that knocked a lot of fans out of kilter with what they expected from Queen. This song and, 'Under Pressure', did ok, chart-wise, though.
I tried to add Spanish subtitles for any Spanish speaking people. I hope it worked as I've no idea what I'm doing but I tried 😬 ♥
Doe, I couldn’t turn on the subtitles or captions in Spanish. But I’ll figure it out. You know, it’s so adorable that, just like Brian did in the 80s, you have us Latin Americans also in your mind. I can totally help you with any translations. Seriously, honestly. I can help, freely and happily 🙂👍🏽

Playback isn't Queen. They are Performers, who had to do it live. Or without the crowd in the studio in perfection. Nothing else.
I think 'Hot Space' is more Deaky's LP, than Brians or Rogers. Maybe that's why Deaky looks satisfied and cool.😉
Fantastic, fantastic...
Hope you see this Doe, you cant cope with Freddie regardless of what he wears.
Ah thank you Doe beautiful song and don’t all the boys look so handsome and your little dog Missie is so gorgeous take care x x
Indeed they do! Ahh she is a sweetheart 🥰 Thanks for watching
Hi, Doe. Thank you for your review. I've always been intrigued by this performance. It is obvious that Freddie is holding back because of the many restrictions of the TV show. Roger and Brian have stated their dislike of the format. That being said, I love watching Freddie in everything he does.
Que padre que hasta el titulo del video lo puso en español :D
I think of "Hot Space" as a bold move from a band that could easily have created yet another album in the same vein as "The Game". That was the first album with their new German producer, Reinhold Mack - but still a fairly traditional rock album.
I definetely don't think of "Hot Space" as a mistake. But they are perhaps playing with genres where they didn't excel like they usually did, so it was no surprise that the critics butchered it back then. In direct competition with other pop chart hits from 1982-1983 the songs aren't impressive... "Noblesse oblige", as they say.
Queen was an exceptional rock band that managed to remain incredibly succesful even after radically changing the sound that made them famous in the first place. I really don't think any other band has achieved that.
Their following album (their first global hit album "The Works") is often mentioned as a 'step back to the roots', but soundwise it is still radically different from their legendary albums from the 1970s. And I don't think "The Works" could have been made without "Hot Space".
Doe Queen has been distracting for a long time since they are all HOTTIES AND CUTIE PATOOTIES. Deaky is definitely too cool for school
It’s funny Doe I already know this track but saw this exact same video for the first time yesterday! Hot space came out in 1982, the year I was born.
Can you do a reaction to the song Scandal please ? I think you will like it.
Aw little missy such a cutie ! 🐾
Another 80s baby 😄 Scandal for sure is on the list!
I do remember I did not like this album when it was released. But Queen played almost any song of this record during their open air concert in Berlin and it was amazing.
Probably, this record did not match the Zeitgeist during that time. Thank you for reminding me.
BTW, the cover symbolizes a popular electronic music game during that time (guessing a tone sequence).
Princes of the Universe!! Queen rules!! Queen ROCKS! Hahahaha Freddy always the clown the joker! Reminds me a lot about John Lennon that way... Genius musical ability, bouts of depression and having difficulty identifying as any "human norm", yet always the clown onstage. Kindness and affection, but with a bout of ugliness at times (as Roger Taylor used to say, "That rotter, Freddy!" lol).
You might want to try "See what a fool i've been", "Let Me Live" and Rogers song Coming Soon.
Thank you darlıng
I think this song was number one in Argentina on the moment the Falklands war between UK and Argentina started (wich was 2 weeks after Queen's shows there). It was a huge hit in Southern America but not so much in the rest of the world. (26 in both Flanders and the Netherlands). This is one of the only two songs i really like from this album, the other one is of course Under Pressure. Hot Space is , for Queen standards, not a brilliant one as it's an experiment that didnt work out well, though It's not as bad as some people say. Fun fact : the video for Body language (wich i think is one of their worst songs) is in the Guiness book of records as the first video ever to be banned by MTV.
I havent seen you doing songs from the A kind of Magic album so I'd love to hear your opinon about "Don't lose your head". Freddie's singing is impressive on that song.
PS it was nice to see Missy again :).
Hi, from Russia ;-)
You’d look stunning in a tuxedo. 😊
They tell a story with their albums, they are themes, to be listened to in full, in order. They do it deliberately to take you on a journey, as they do on all albums. They are never 1 genre, it is Queen.
I have listened to Hot Space and don't know why people don't like it. I have always liked all genres of music. Queen in my opinion can do no wrong. Take that back there is one song I can't listen to , Chinese Torture.
Album e bello a mi pace molto
They hate to mime, they hated TOTP but they had to do it. In the beginning they did TOTP drunk.
You're welcome ;)
'The Works' Album came after 'Hot Space' . It was an obvious 'Let's get back to basics' for Queen. And a much better album.
Hot Space is a mix. More than half of the album's the not-so-beloved "I'm totally disco now"-tracks, which have aged rather poorly with that phase being locked on to the thought that this phase got Freddie into the crosshairs of a certain disease. It's not that they're _bad_ disco-pop tracks, it's just that they're not exactly the genres-defying real greatness that Queen can achieve. Las Palabras De Amor is a nice track, but again, it's not like it's blowing anyone's mind from a creativity/quality point of view. Still a good track, just not the perfection we came to expect. :) As I usually say: Hot Space is not a _bad_ album per se, but it is put in perspective to other _Queen_ albums.
Yes as a standalone album I like it (what I've heard so far anyway!) but if you try and compare it, then yes I understand
Oh, another thought that comes to mind: It's also that while Queen was known for pushing the envelope with their albums, this overall just seemed much more a "trying to fit in" vibe in the early 80s. It's of course much different to listen to it now than it was when it was new. That end-of-70s disco funk bop sound was not the future then. I feel musically, they got their act back together with "The Works".
I recomend the song " la mano de Dios" by Rodrigo
Can you tell they really didn't like doing, 'Top Of the Pops', performances? 🤣 Their hearts really aren't in the whole miming to a backing track on a TV performance, thing. But then, they never were. The, 'Hot Space', album wasn't all that well received by fans when it was first released. A far cry from their usual output that knocked a lot of fans out of kilter with what they expected from Queen. This song and, 'Under Pressure', did ok, chart-wise, though.
오호... 채널 주인이 엄청 단정하게 이쁘네요.
A differenza degli altri
I don't hate Hot Space, I just don't think it is as good as their other albums
the worst album, still good
