OMG - The Heavens opened with this song!! When Freddie was diagnosed the Dr. encouraged him to quit smoking which seemed to strengthen his vocal range very similar to early Queen music!! Freddie’s vocals are always phenomenal. You should checkout LET ME LIVE .... very Gospel sounding. Brian & Roger also have singing parts, too. 😇
I’m not a medical or Queen expert, but from what I’ve read Freddie in early Queen days didn’t smoke. He took up smoking to develop the rasp in his voice, though I think it was also a good prop for his nervous shyness. When he became ill he gave up smoking and drinking, on doctors orders for a bit longer life, and his voice changed again. Amazing.
Freddie lost power in his voice, he had to sing with more head or mixed voice. That is why it sounds so high, when he was younger his voice did not have the range and power yet. In the 80's his voice was powerful enough that he could just sing in full chest voice most of the time.
@@joan783 Freddie didn't develop a rasp in his voice, his voice was never a raspy type of voice like Roger's voice. He added that rasp and grit. When he sang live there are often passage where he did not use grit. In Who Wants To Live Forever live, he basically did not use any grit.
No run up to this one - straight in at the deep end with layer upon layer of Gospel style harmonies from Freddie. Then it slows down. Then it's changes to blues, then orchestral before the big choral finale. Lots to process in such a short piece. They didn't mess around.
I want this played at my funeral. It’ll remind everyone there to continue to do GOOD after I’m gone! I loved this song when it first came out in ‘91. It’s just unbelievable....
This one is sooooo good!!! It takes our breath away, and reaches deep in every heart and soul. Lordddd, just perfect...well, it's a Queen song, so, perfect 💖💖💖 And thanks for reacting to this on, love your honesty to music. You're the best 😁
Thank you so much for your honest and genuine responses to Queens music. You are truly my favourite reviewer of a Queen music and I look forward to more
I also like his changed voice in 1989 (The Miracle) and 1991(Innuendo), but it changed cause of AIDS and this is the sad part...and love his voice in very early Queen
For me, all Queen songs are great. Please react smooth Queen songs such as You Take My Breath Away, My Melancholy Blues, Nevermore. And early Queen such as Bring Back That Leroy Brown, The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke, The Night Comes Down....thanks
I agree, I _love_ Freddie's 90s voice. It's like the best of both worlds (70s and 80s). The only thing I could criticize is his voice isn't as powerful in some songs, but he makes up for it with better singing technique that makes it seem like he's hitting those notes EFFORTLESSLY
Great reaction, it is nice to see someone appreciate this song. The highest notes were Freddie, Roger lost his high falsetto around 1979. Freddie generally had a higher falsetto then Roger. Roger's falsetto was just very resonant and bright during the 70's. Freddie sang all of the highest harmonies in the 80's and 90's. There are some other great 70's songs to also check out such as My Fairy King th-cam.com/video/VeVjEg4znQk/w-d-xo.html and The Great King Rat live at the Rainbow 1974 th-cam.com/video/nNDOazfRg08/w-d-xo.html.
David,, I love your reactions so much because you hear all parts and pull out the base as do I. Deaky is so under appreciated by so many and was an equal in Queens success. Thank you for your valuable insights and keep up the good work. On a personal note. I am a 73 year old American female Queen fan who has dealt with depression for years and Queen is great medicine! Think very highly of you and will keep following. Brian would not be opposed to you tweeting him and might even write back to you, who knows. Best of luck!
Brilliant David thank you 😊 towards the end egos were forgotten and they just came together beautifully as only they could. You mentioned David about it being your anthem for the world 🌎 🙌 👏 absolutely 💯% David. It was those types of songs that brought us all closer together dear brother ❤. Thoroughly enjoyed it David 👌 to see you get battered constantly from all sides 🤣🤣🤣absolutely brilliant David 👏 long may it continue brother 👍 thank you 😊. Now I'm off to peel some vegetables while listening to your new album 😀 👍
I kinda hear both 80’s and 80’s Freddie in here. I know this was originally written for Barcelona and considered for The Miracle so maybe it’s recordings from both times and 1991? If that’s the case, they blend perfectly! Either way, it shows Freddie’s power when he still sings like this in a dying state! ✊
Most of the song is from 88 (or maybe 87), the vocal line after the gospel bridge (about 6:05 in this video) is from 1990 and you can tell the difference in Freddie's voice in just a couple of years.
Your reaction lol, I love how much you get into music! You are right Freddie’s 90’s voice is very different, this is one of my favorite songs as well. You are a true entertainer. I’m also downloading your album, excited about that too. Thank you!!!
If you would like to do another Queen reaction try Let Me Entertain You live in Montreal. Got a great heavy metal type beat, awesome bass, fast paced, fun! I think you'll like it but I won't drive you nuts requesting this one. Just food for thought:)
This was incredible! Yes, it seems his voice got more powerful closer to the end of his life. It seems unreal though. You might want to try Let Me Live" if you liked this.
And a year on ?? Only constant in my life ??? Listening to queen Here’s to a better year ?? FFS When is a pandemic an endemic??? Let’s just all move forward with this and live with it
Try mother love it's the last song that freddie sang there's a chilling note in the middle where he propper just went for it unfortunately he couldn't finish the whole song because he was so poorly brian may had to finish it the ending will send shivers down your spine.
Absolutely love the Innuendo album. The harmonies in this song are insane. Great reaction. Check out Fight From The Inside, an underrated Roger song: th-cam.com/video/aau_kEtNV2U/w-d-xo.html

Freddie wrote this song. He recorded it for his solo album "Barcelona", but later reworked it with the band for "Innuendo".
This song contains Freddie Mercury's highest FULL VOICE note ever. His highest studio note was in It's Late
It's Late is also the highest note on a Queen album overall.
One of my favourite Queen songs 🎵 ❤
@@ZENOBlAmusicthat note is in Whistle Voice This note are in Chest/Mixed Voice

Try 'Was it all worth it' from The Miracle album...a classic Queen '3 songs in 1' with all the transitions, give it a go 👍
Love that song
@@hotspace1145 me too
The Innuendo album is one of their best, in my opinion. From this same album can you check out Bijou. Brian guitar is making his guitar weep.
Yep 100% agreed leona👍
Another gem in Queen's crown that I am learning along with you. This song Iwill need to listen to many times and still hear new things
Thanks for reacting to that one, it often gets overlooked but yes there is do much going on in that one.
Open your eyes, look touch and feel ...🤤
This one is sooooo good!!! It takes our breath away, and reaches deep in every heart and soul.
Lordddd, just perfect...well, it's a Queen song, so, perfect 💖💖💖
And thanks for reacting to this on, love your honesty to music. You're the best 😁
Well said Ifera 👏
Thank you so much for your honest and genuine responses to Queens music. You are truly my favourite reviewer of a Queen music and I look forward to more
Love this song so much! It's the first one I listen to everyday as I start my walk💖 alot of truth in this one!
Absolutely armywife 🤗👍
Amazing! He was so weak when recording this he could hardly stand up, yet still had that incredible voice. Freddie FOREVER!
I also like his changed voice in 1989 (The Miracle) and 1991(Innuendo), but it changed cause of AIDS and this is the sad part...and love his voice in very early Queen
It changed back to his 70s voice because he stopped smoking.
For me, all Queen songs are great. Please react smooth Queen songs such as You Take My Breath Away, My Melancholy Blues, Nevermore. And early Queen such as Bring Back That Leroy Brown, The Fairy Feller’s Master-Stroke, The Night Comes Down....thanks
Fairy Fellers Master Stroke! With the painting so you can see what hes talking about!
Nobody better in the history of music and nobody in the future will get close.
Love this song, and it's message. Freddie's vocals are so powerful. Queen out did themselves. Great reaction.
your comments are brilliant jack it back as much as you like so we can hear more of queen.
Freddie the church minister in this one preaching to us his fans

How many bands could write and sing this. Wow Harmony and some blues . This is why no one can touch them ❤️❤️❤️❤️

'Princes of the universe " brilliant 👏 nice one Hot Space 👍
This would have been a good song to use in the lion king. The 1st thing I thought of at the start was simba
review the barcelona by freddy mercury
Absolutely love the Innuendo album. The harmonies in this song are insane. Great reaction. Check out Fight From The Inside, an underrated Roger song: th-cam.com/video/aau_kEtNV2U/w-d-xo.html
Actually, all those high notes were by Freddie himself, since Roger lost his high voice around the mid-80's
You can hear Roger at the top end of the line "he's so incredible"
that song sucks
nobody gives a shit
