Bohemian Rhapsody/Killer Queen (Live at UNSW Clancy Auditorium, Jul 8th 2024)
Hey everyone, I am finally back with another upload! I got the opportunity to do a short performance as part of a Music Night event at my university. I decided to do a short Queen Medley, similar to the one I did back in late May. My voice is in decent shape here, besides several voice cracks. I made a few minor piano flubs, as my fingers were not used to the Steinway Grand Piano I used for this performance. The audio starts off somewhat echoey, but clears up quickly. Now, onto the song breakdown!
"Bohemian Rhapsody" starts off quite well, with a clean A4 on "life had JUST begun." I try going for a more natural tone on this song, which results in somewhat shaky vocals, due to my voice not quite being at peak quality. I use scoop phrasing on "but now I've GONE and thrown it all away." My voice cracks on "didn't MEAN to make you cry" and "I've got to GO." The line "I don't wanna die" sounds quite clean. "Killer Queen" is a clean version overall. I go for 70s tone and phrasing for most of the song, only using 80s oversinging on lines such as "met a man from China." The choruses are powerful, especially on the first "She's a KILLER Queen." I belt studio phrasing for "PERFUME came naturally from Paris." Finally, "Bohemian Rhapsody (Reprise)" features clean, powerful vocals overall, especially on "nothing really matters." However, I play a flub note on the left hand piano run at the very start. I sing a powerful "anything the wind BLOWS," ending the song on a powerful note.

This was an hour-long paid gig that I got the opportunity do at my university, across from my university’s library, one of the busiest areas on campus. There was not much of a crowd, as most people were walking by, but those who stayed enjoyed my performance. This show features the introduction of a number of Queen songs into my usual Elton-heavy setlist, with “Play The Game” making its live de...

Hey everyone, I know it's been a minute since I last uploaded on this channel, but I am back with a new show! I got a last-minute opportunity to perform at my university, under a tent in the cold (similar to last year's Cold As Christmas: A Day On the Green shows). For this rather impromptu performance, I decided to play a mini Queen medley as a warm up for a gig I would do a week later (soon t...

    I can’t really comment on the Elton John songs because with Queen songs I can tell which parts you’ve taken inspiration from. I can’t fault the piano playing. You don’t seem to cut corners and just play studio phrases as well as singing without wobbling too much. That alone is the highlight for me for the whole show. Having said that, I hope you don’t take offence that I’ve found some critiques on your singing. I think you sound a lot better singing conservatively because you really do strain to the point whole phrases become flat. For example, the second verse in Bohemian Rhapsody. Following from this, if you maintain conservatism in your phrasing, you will generally sing better and improve your confidence. If you listen to bootlegs in the 70s, Freddie really holds back in his studio phrasing until much later. So pretty much sing conservatively so you don’t end up flat in your singing. Another thing I’ve picked up is your style of singing. In my opinion I find it quite clear most of your phrasing comes from Freddie himself and that’s okay. However, the speaksinging and attempting to sound darker does not work for you personally. The speaksinging can easily be replaced with actual singing and sounding darker really bites you back in hitting higher notes (Bo Rhap for example). I would say try not to take Freddie as an inspiration or at least 80s Freddie because the difference is that his voice at the time had the depth to oversing and still sound okay. Your voice is really thin compared to his so they instead squeak rather than growl when you try his phrasings. I’d say focus on proper phrasing rather than trying to sound like Freddie. Also the way you end your phrasings come out soft sometimes. This is probably one I will be more lenient because it’s most likely from confidence. But overall, don’t fizzle out and really end those phrasings how you started them. I hope this helps you because I did enjoy points such as the “carry on” in Bo Rhap. I hope to see more of you and hopefully even more confidence and a progression from this performance :))

      Thanks for the advice. I do plan to sing the Queen songs more conservatively going forward. The reason I tried going darker with my tone is because I managed to hit most of the high notes, especially in Bohemian Rhapsody, in my previous 1-hour show, while going for 1986 phrasing. Check it out, and I'll keep posting my progress on this channel!

      @@LemonCoversAndLiveShows you can try to be dark but if you want to hit those high notes consistently then opening your airways rather than squeezing it out is the way to go. The darker tone will restrict your range overtime.
