      Hawkman Actually, it's not true. This was recorded in 1976. I don't know how about drinking, but Freddie didn't didn't start smoking until 1980. Plus, he was, like, 30 at the time of the record, so even if he was a heavy drinker (which I'm pretty sure he was NOT), I'd take an enormous amount of abusing alcohol to damage the voice at that age, thus making it pretty impossible. He did, however, develop voice nodules, which gave him a hard time singing live, but that didn't start to show up until 1977/78.

      Pure natural untrained gift from birth. Open throat technique by nature or nurture. Either way want to sing like Freddy? Learn open throat technique and practice 2-3 hours a day 5-6 days a week for 3 years minimum and you'll be as close as your genetics will allow.

      contraire to what a lot of people think, auto tune is not used to fix the voice; it's actually used to erase some of the noises that can be found sometimes in the audio (white noise) and irregularities in the music. so yes, freddie, as many other artists, used autotune.

I think there are a lots of talented singers out there, there just not as much in the spotlight as they used to be in Freddie's time.

JC Chasez, a far, FAR better singer than Justin, had one album which flopped and now he doesn't even sing anymore. It's a damn shame when you hear what he can do (You Ruined Me, You Don't Have to Be Alone, Dear Goodbye, etc). Talent gets you nowhere anymore.

      @@selty No, talent has obviously not died. But what people really mean is that back then, there simply was no autotune, so you are definitely hearing the real thing. Today, no matter how incredible the vocalist is, they absolutely, in almost all cases, use a certain amount of autotune. It's available, and it's used. So unless a live performance, there will most definitely be a certain amount of autotune involved, thus a less than pure performance.
