@RaggsNation i love the song not him. I like 2 - 3 justin bieber song but i hate his personality so i only listen to the audio. I believe there are people here like me.
@@aki9059 Don't pay attention to him. He's going to many replies here. He's a homophobic troll, just trying to get a rise out of people. Probably nothing better going on in his life.
@@therandomizer-oy9nf Tony Williams and the Platters own this song. Freddie is good but his interpretation of the song that reflects his conflict with his sexuality versus Tony Williams singing simply about losing his girlfriend and pretending to his peers that he is alright is using a great 55 song to express other perspectives. I was turned off by this but I can listen to Freddie as long as I don't have to see the video.
@@Jasmine-mf2ys you are amazing, it's so annoying when they only came here because of the anime, but if it wasn't from the anime show, the Legendary Singer Freddie will be forgotten, Freddie Forever!
Nope I'm just obsessed with Queen. I mean I'm a weeb but i was always obsessed with queen and when I watched the first episode of great pretender I was like OMG IT'S FREDDY 😂
We all tend to pretend that you are still around. Thank you, Freddie. You left beautiful music behind and the message to the world to choose freedom as meaning of life. ❤

Victor I agree I like this more than The Platters (which I also love). GREAT SONG. This is the first time Ive heard this version . It's the same old old song with a different meaning since Freddie's been gone.
Did you know that when Lamont Dozier wrote "The Same Old Song" it was just a re-hash of "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" with the chords reversed. So he called it "The Same Old Song" ....
@@sunryse111 Victor it's funny when "Same old song" came out it sounded like "Sugar pie honey bunch" to me but sounded different too. You've solved the mystery. Thanks
Cantata benissimo, non questa ma molto simile, da Elvis Presley, a cui Freddie si ispirò per tante cose, dalle mantelle di scena alle posture a fine camzoni. Due grandissimi.
Is anyone really around unless we're in their physical presence, whether in-person or on the phone? Otherwise, they're a figment of our imagination, really.
This song should be the Anthem of social media, "I seem to be what I'm not, you see..."
Very true. Social media novices take note!
He could also sing a grocery list and create a masterpiece, his voice and energy was unbelievable. Simply the greatest of all times. We miss you, Freddie!
Vero. Sei italiano ho visto! Grande. Anche io amo questa canzone freddie!

Sure, but the lyrics of this song are very deep nevertheless
Fallen in love with this song coz of the anime Great Pretender
Omg you watch that anime?!!
Aki yes-why??-it’s really good
Galactic Rain it’s just most people haven’t watched it, it’s nice to find someone else you watched it 🥺
Aki aww-yes I’m happy too to talk to someone who loves Great Pretender-let’s continue to support this anime
weeb.
"Pretending that you're still around."
*Broke my heart.*
those words are the perfect line for when we listen to queen and think of freddie
STOOPID AIDS!!!!!! HEARTLESS STOOPID AIDS

Those lyrics are so hard I'm down in tears. He voice just amplifies that beautiful feeling.
Freddie Mercury was much more than a rock star.
He was a genius!
The original and the cover Freddie did are both amazing! 👏👏
what do you mean cover?
@@loriines Freddie's is a cover. The original is from The Platters. Both are amazing, though, and done very well.
@@dizzidazegaming Yup, everyone thinks that its Freddie's song
@@gabe1492 I mean can you blame anyone for thinking that? Freddy just kind of kills whatever he does, sometimes in one take, allegedly
Good, but Tony Williams with The Platters is much better.
アイラブユー ^ ^ 貴方のことは決っして忘れません。素敵でした。 from Japan
These lyrics ring true for anyone who fell truly in love and never loved the same again.
Queen songs. Classic... always remember... queen never did live concert in Philippines... but QUEEN songs famous here.
This is no Queen song. First because it is covered. And it is covered by Freddie Mercury not by Queen

Nope I'm just obsessed with Queen and Freddy Mercury.
Freddie we never dream alone as you live within us
I'm 37 years old & when I first heard this, I knew this was a cover of "The Great Pretender" by The Platters from the 1950s. Great job Freddie🥰
No one can beat Freddy's version of the Great Pretender.
He was a genius..
Some of us were lucky to be around when Freddy was around..
What a performer singer Freddie Mercury!. Never be another like HiM !.
This is the best rendition of the song!!!
best voice EVER
If it weren't for Mother Basement, I would have never found this wonderful piece.
We will never see his like again. World-class singer and entertainer. RIP.
I just love Freddie and i miss him so much he was sooooo talented and nobody can repeat that talent i am sooo sad what happend to him je was sooooo Great and he is my inspiration every time i Listen the song the show must go on the last song that he made before he died i crry its sooo sad rest in Piece i loooove you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just listening to this version is not enough, you must watch the video which he was performing full of energy and...
Eu ouço Freddie Mercury com muita frequência. Não canso nunca.
An amazing soul.. who l am so missing.. God bless you Freddie.. you are .. l am xxx
I think this song becomes even better when you realize it fits perfectly Laurent's situation
Here for Freddie
I’m watching a special about Freddie and a clip of him singing this is in it.
I never knew he recorded this.
I’m going to have to get his solo album.
You just never stop missing Freddie.💔

He really did a good job concealing his illness as if everything is ok..oh what a great pretender!
A great song , a great singer , I was searching for this song on Google, it came up with the song by ..." the platters " its old but WOW it is great

Falling in love 😍 with this song
One of many great versions of this beautiful song. Tiny Tim has my favorite I think.
An unusual choice, Charles. I'll have to give that one another listen ....
@@sunryse111 He gives it a real grand feel, like he’s announcing himself as the final act in a wonderfully depressing circus.
@@Neocasturn I just checked it out - and saw you left your own comment there 4 months ago. Thanks, Charles - he was quite underrated, obviously.
@@sunryse111 I just love the guy
Old song written by the pretenders gets covered by the g.o.a.t . And it's awesome
Thanks for the lyrics❤
This is the very best version of all time❤❤
This song was perfectly used on the Apple Tv show, Sunny
What a voice
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Ooh ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Yeah ooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around
Merry Christmas 2023
We still love you 🌺❤❤❤
