I appreciate your analytical reaction of Freddie and Montserrat, two genuine artists and beautiful souls. ❤❤
I went through numerous CDs playing this over and over again. A remarkable album.
caballe’s voice.. is so smooth like pure velvet...💙
The Queen of pianissimo ❤️
Happy birthdayyyyyyyyyyyy Freddie 🌸Legend never die 🌺R.I.P.🙏🏻
Wonderful reaction....Two beautiful singers from two different worlds.....beautiful!!!
Love your reaction, RIP Freddie 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
A music lesson was not what I wanted, your reaction to a rock star and an opera diva together was😉
незабываемо... песня на все времена,обоих нет в живых,а музыка их живёт👋👋👋🙏🌹🌹
What you're describing with the mouth is the yawn technique. When I was in the choir, the choirmaster taught us that the best and easiest way to sing would be to imagine ourselves mid yawn and to sing that way. As for the vibrato, Fil from Wings of Pegasus did a video where he slowed playback down to 0.75, and the difference in vibrato was more marked - Monserrat's vibrato was as much as a tone difference, whereas Freddie's was more compact around the note. Incidentally, I think the conductor was Mike Moran, who helped Freddie get the music organised. On a different video, he's playing the piano behind the opening verse.
I love this!!! Freddie could actually sing countertenor too. He recorded a demo without lyrics for Montserrat where he sang her parts and she was so surprised that it was him. It's called "Exercises in Free Love" - just the audio, but I'd love to see what you think! Since he was sick by the time he met her he'd quit smoking and drinking, so his voice was clearer, and apparently she gave him some vocal lessons (he'd shockingly never had any before because he wanted to sound raw and authentic as a rocker and not overly perfect and trained).
I'm so sorry that they both are gone. Montserrat was every bit as wonderful as Freddie was. Spectacular singing!
edit: The one conceivable advantage Freddie might have had if music were a competition which it is nOt, was that Freddie was a tremendously creative and original songwriter [The Seven Seas of Rhye, etc.]. I don't know if Caballé ever wrote or improvised an aria.
a beautiful song for a beautiful city
ok so I'm no expert. And I am not doubting Montserrat in any way, her vocals are amazing to listen to. But, for me the big difference was I could understand every single word Freddie sang, His voice is perfection, whether he is singing rock, rock n roll, pop, opera damn he could even sing the Teletubbies theme tune and make it sound good
She’s singing most of her part in Spanish.
The lightsabre was a baton not just a prop!
Mike Moran was the conductor who worked on the songs and composition with Freddie
Freddie said because he had very little time with her it was very difficult
He was so happy they were doing a song but he didnt expect her to then propose an album!
He's so used to queen and what they can work with and he's the lead singer he found it difficult to compose for someone he doesnt work with and there was very little time she said well I can give you 3 days in march!
So they had to look at all her work figure our what would suit her voice and work with his
But it was very much together not mike doing it for him
Mike said sometimes he would compose a piece (previously to this)and be very pleased with it and freddie would make a couple of changes he didn't think were needed but when it was done he realised it elevated the whole piece
He sent demos with him singing her parts in falsetto?
When she turned up there wasn't much room to work they had to get that album done quickly
He had been having problems with his throat for a long time,he was never trained vocally he was just learning as he went along so probably caused damage but during the album he found out he had aids and told her,she went to kiss him and drink from his glass and he stopped her,she was upset thinking she had offended him so he explained
Knowing that it means more when he kisses her hand and she smiles at him in Barcelona shes was very upset for him but comfortable with him,a lot of people treated people with aids dreadfully at that time
He really liked conductor tap the baton before they start so asked him to do it but its glass so obviously it smashed !
He put a lot of trust in her to tell her he was ill and she told no one until he died
The band didn't know at this time not even when they were doing innuendo album
They realised he was getting I'll
He didn't tell them until all the papers were speculating
He had told the manager
It must have been so difficult she was getting excited barcalona at the olympics and he had to make it clear he might not still be here unfortunately he wasn't but she still sang with footage of him signing
Обожаю эту композицию! Это на все времена! Она у меня на телефоне и на будильнике ))
It s my belief that the light saber was being used by Brian May, the lead guitarist of Queen. I have been told I am wrong, but how many people have that profile with that gorgeous long curly hair! Can someone confirm this for me?
It's Mike Moran, who co wrote the song. Now he has short hair, but if you look at photos of him from the 80s he had long hair and the same style glasses. Definitely Mike Moran.
amigo no es May
I just love this, learned to sing Montserrat´s part at one time :D great choice Marc!
Thanks Laura!
That's the opening of the Barcelona Olympics ,
The quality of this is like on a totally different level to the crap today
You are my favorite expert! You are fun and excited and so smart in everything musical! Thank you! How could you not love it indeed!
Nice reaction and analysis! You should react to The Golden Boy from Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe, that is a very interesting song, were freddie uses a bit more of an opera style at times.
🙋🏾♀️ **Zenobia** 💁🏾♀️ ITA and would also add "How Do I Go On?" which is also very lovely as well☺️.
Yeah, I would hope the 'vocal coaches' out there pick Golden Boy more instead of all the usual songs. That has it all: Opera, rock, pop and gospel all in one.
Perfectos ❤❤❤❤
So wonderful!!!
love it!!
Fred never had any formal training... Compared to her it always sounds to me that she is singing more from her chest than he is. I LOVE them singing together SO much!
Check at 3:28, certainly looks like Brian to me.
It's Mike Moran the co writer of the song
Thanks. e does look like Brian with that hair!
Hey Marc,
Don't really know if you have already done a reaction video for this track but if not I sincerely recommend that you do.
The song is Sound of Silence and it's the cover by Disturbed in 2015.
I personally like the Official Video the best, but for your purposes you may prefer their live performance on Conan.
Amazing singers sublime Freddie what a genius.😘
That was Brian may conducting
They are both lipsyncing here. Every performance you see of this song(there's three of them) are not proper LIVE. Freddie was sick here at this point and his voice was affected obviously so he didn't want to risk it. If you listen to the studio version it's exactly the same.
Thanks for the added insight!
Sanna Olsson The reason why they were lipsyncing is not Freddie’s illness, but the fact that they couldn’t syncronize their schedules to rehearse the songs!
@@biancabeea1508 All three times they performed it?? Idk.... She has said herself somewhere(I think it was a written interview) that he was unsure about his voice at that time and that's why they didn't sing live. 🤷🏻♀️ He had problems with it when he got sick afterall.
Sanna Olsson On 8th October 1988, after the performance from “La Nit Festival” (held in Plaça de Carles Buïgas, Montjuic Park in Barcelona), at the press conference, our beloved Freddie Mercury stated himself: “I didn’t want to risk singing live. It’s a very difficult thing for me because they’re complex songs and we didn’t have enough rehearsal time as well. We did think we might do something live but my God, I tell you, it would need a lot of rehearsal - weeks and weeks of it. I’m used to singing with Queen, where hiding behind their power is quite easy to do. But here, each note counts and it’s a very different kind of discipline. I can do it in a studio because I can have retakes, but I wondered whether I could do it live, where you have to do it straight away. She’s (Monserrat) used to do that, whereas I’m not. I’ve never done things with orchestras, and if my voice was not to come up to scratch I’d be letting her (Monserrat) down. I wouldn’t want to take any chances.” So I chose to take Freddie’s word for it...❤️
@@biancabeea1508 I’m so agree with you, I will think that was what they was doing, thei had non mic neigther of them. How can he react at them when they lip-sinc 🤔😉
Hyvä esitys menee pilalle kun katselija pätkii koko ajan videota.
ms doktor love you.!
lovely blowing
Freddie Mercury was very sick here. This was his last public performance. He sang until 4 months prior to his death. I've always wondered (this was approx. 3 years before his death) could his work with Monserrat for a year been what enabled him to sing this long?
His last live performance was in 1988 in London. He wasn't 'very sick' here, this was 1987. He got very sick in 1990/91.
@@JamesSmith-qy3eu He was dying in 1990/91.
Maravilhosos
The ídol of freddie mercury is Montserrat caballe
Sorry. The conductor is guitarist Brian May in this video. And Queen drummer, Roger, is playing orchestra percussion! There's another live video (she's wearing red & he's wearing a black tux) that's totally the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra. Just some trivia. ☺️
It's not. It's Mike Moran the songs co writer
@@jca111 Sorry. I thought Mike was on piano. I'm sure he was on another video of this song. 🤔 Hmmm...
Hello, you could reaction to "how can i go on" the freddy Mercury
I guess you think we would rather listen to your speculations than to actually be able to listen to this exquisite performance...try a little patience and restraint....
They're not singing live here - it's a video clip for this song, they are not performing - they're lip-syncing, those are not their real singing facial expressions - those are the expressions for cameras to look more aesthetically pleasant and dynamic. There are so many mismatching camera cuts. I think it would have been much more objective to comment their live performance.
Of course it's the video clip
Tom Baltic I don’t think they ever got to do this live
daedala70...💁🏾♀️ You're correct. They never actually sang any of the songs live. They were supposed to but it was decided at the very last minute to lip synic due to Freddie's nodules flaring up again ✌🏾.
Not sure how you can critique how vocals look on the face from a music video. They are not singing here. It's not even a 'performance', it's a music video! They never sang it live. At best they may be singing along to it, but not full power
Right on!!!!
Hey blud ya knows its a David Mallet in theatre made video w/ playback, innit? So yeh ya noticd them mouths and air flow and this and that and everythin else lul.
maravillosa cancion, fueron dos grandes amigos, ahora ambos estan juntos, D.E.P.
te voy a recomendar que reacciones a una cantante amiga de MONTSERRAT CABALLE, se llama MONICA NARANJO, con una cancion compuesta por ella que se llama EUROPA , espero que te guste, te dejo el enlace
@opFc
Come on!! You are talking about the technics and this is a video, they are doing playback
Your rules fell apart when you watched this.
STOP cutting in all the time. It ruins the video!!!
Can't watch anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg the editing is terrible. Try to do these in one take, it makes for a better video. You have a lot to learn.
