Today we have a bit of a special edition of Who Sang It Better. I watch a compilation of four famous artists and singers singing Queen's classic rock anthem 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and choose who I think sang it best. Except for the one and only Freddie Mercury we get to listen to Brendon Urie, Adam Lambert and Marc Martel. There is some really good singing in this!

I think the best is Freddie because he sounds more like Freddie
😂lol, I don't know why but this is the best comment 😂
The Freddie version used a take where Freddie clearly wasn’t trying as hard
Nah Marc sounds more like freddy than freddy
Whoa...deep bro
It's Freddie
Just
Fredie
He so good
Nothing be better than queen
"i hate to break it to you darling but nobody could sing it better than me"
-Freddie Mercury
Agree
So true
More true words have never been spoken...
Was he really said that?
@@muhdadib8866 Nothing really matters ,
Nothing really matters to me.
The person that can sing bohemian rhapsody best in live performances :
1. Freddie
2. Drunk Freddie
3. Sick freddie
4. Others
Lol🤣😂
Yesss!
Freddie
Yea
Yessssssssssssssss
Freddie didn't just sing it, he's the guy who wrote that masterpiece!! He's the best and no one can ever be better than him at what he did.
Shut
@@glue5711 what do you mean? FREDDIE WAS THE BEST ONE
@@jayantzalki8039 yea but there are still good ones
@@glue5711 I agree all the other singers did pretty good, but FREDDIE IS AT A TOTAL NEXT LEVEL!, Think for yourself, which performance did you enjoy the most, even though they sang some parts a little better than Freddie, it's not just about the song, it's about the expressions, the energy the Charisma and his voice! Even though all the other singers did a pretty good job, Freddie's performance is the one that we all watch over and over again because he was born to perform and that's what makes him better than everyone else, and they all are just singing a song that Freddie wrote, but Freddie was the one who wrote it! no one can replace him.
@@glue5711 lmao Freddie is the best
I like how he uses the worst possible recordings for brendon and Freddie
Brendon's recording was better than adam lambert bruh
@@JefePlaysYT The guy who made the comparaison video is a huge Marc Martel fan. Understandable that from all the others he does not choose the best recordings (and all live) , but for Marc he picks one from his home studio, his most popular video ever btw.
Ikr
@@apokab6453 yeah maybe because thats the only one Marc Martel has.
I'm not saying you're not right and I know how Freddy, and the others can sound.
@@apokab6453 that makes a lot more sense. I was wondering why that recording of Freddie was chosen when it's clearly not his best
They gave Freddie a disadvantage by isolating his vocals and choosing it after he was losing his voice
He is just too good
200th like
It was 1980-1986 era where he contracted hiv so yes
but he did good good
Because he has to give the others a chance at least XD
Freddie singing his own song is still the best, he literally sang Bohemian Rhapsody once while drunk (and playing the piano part perfectly), improvised on the spot and still one of the best performance of Bohemian Rhapsody
Billie Holiday's most epic album was recorded while Billie was absolutely wasted blind. The director/conducter/producer(?) was loosing his mind while trying to get the songs out of Billie. But afterwards when he listened the tracks putting the thing together he realized this album was Billie's greatest. She sings off beat, voice cracking and mumbling, but with such emotional depth that it chills you to your bones.
What video did he sang while drunk pls lmk
@@xorsey4411 just search “freddie mercury sings bohemian rhapsody drunk”
You picked a version where Freddie was sick and went onstage against doctors orders.
And it was still 1000x better than the next person.
Nop, this is montreal 1981 not live aid 1985 when he was with laryngitis (he got aids probably in the finals of 1986)
stop blaming roomie he didn't make the vid
@@iwasthere2442 he contacted in riughly 1980 but recognisable symptoms were visible after the live aid, the movie got it wrong!
:(
From what I read Freddie got AIDS around 1982 but didn’t start showing signs until 1985. I’m not sure when that clip was filmed of him, tho. EDIT: I was wrong…he was diagnosed in 1987. When he actually contracted the disease I am unsure.
They literally chose the worst clips of Freddie I’ve ever seen.
Some Raw Lime YES
Yeah roomie said it asvwell
yooo he probably already had HIV
Have to give others some sort of competition
I'd be curious to see his take on listening to good versions of them.
All we need now is 16 levels of bohemian rhapsody
RAISE THIS COMMENT!!!!!
Yesss
YESSS
YAS!
Yes
If I’m not mistaken, I think Marc did most of the vocal work for the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. When they weren’t using Freddie’s actual vocals
Yeah, when Freddie audition for smile in the movie singing doing all right it's marc
Yes, Marc did do most of the vocals. I was actually able to meet him a few years ago. He is super nice!
n very few places does Mark sing in the film. Only where they didn't have recordings with Freddie
Freddie sang and performed. Marc Martel focused on singing. Both beautiful.
Agreed. But check out Martel live. He performs beautifully!
The reason Freddie’s vocals didn’t sound great is that he had throat and vocal chord problems and was actually advised against performing by his doctor
Sonix Petethepossum Ya!! They should have chosen a performance from when his throat was feeling better because he can sing amazing.
That was Live Aid
@@lightningj8954 ya but on we are the Champion
Yeah. When he had his aids right?
you're getting This mixed up with Live aid, Freddie purposely never went too high during most of his performances due to his problem with developing vocal nodules, as well as to save his voice so that he was able to perform well consistently throughout the concert without straining it.
They isolated Freddie’s audio and made it sound so bad.
Wasn't he also pretty sick when that was recorded?
Fubar i think so... oh i miss him even tho i havent met him..
He even said that, or something close
He didn't sound bad
Yea
Couple of things.
Panic! at the Disco are the only ones who do the operatic section live. (Everyone in the band sings different harmonies and then there are additional recorded layered harmonies.) Even Queen with Adam still uses the original recorded track.
I wish someone would make a compilation with Marc Martel singing it in a concert and then comparing it to different videos from Panic!, Queen and Queen with Adam. It would be a better way to compare everyone.
Queen is so much older now. It’s not right to say that they’re the only ones. Queen did in their day. Now they do it for fun/money. But voices change as you get older. B
Roomie: I feel like Freddie is a little bit ...
My brain : pitchy
Roomie: tired of this song
Hes never pitchy:)
Lol
@@ikarys1703 Actually he is almost always a little pitchy (even in the studio version, refer to Marc Ajax's I AutoTuned Freddie Mercury video for that) but it just sounds good so pretty much no one cares.
@@ikarys1703 I don't think he's pitchy. but I can't hear the sentence "its a little bit" in roomie's voice without completing it with "pitchy"
@@Bruna-zr6qj no I know, i was just saying hes a god :)
Freddie is such a good singer, they had to handicap him by only using his worst clips so that everyone else could sound good
Search marc ajax he made this compilation sort of..he is a dedicated queen fann
Everyone was good but that Adam Lambert
So true
They all sound good. That’s why their jobs are singing
Hahhh exaclty that is how good he is, doesn't even have to do his best
Well technically Elton John and Axl Rose both sang the song during Freddie’s tribute concert
It was the best
@@kdjj4155 it was perfect
@@Milkboyswiss It wasn't just the best or perfect it was legendary
But they still can't beat Fred .
Had to have seen the opera part sung by Brendon, it's just amazing what he and the band do!
How did they manage to find Freddie's absolute worst performance lmao
His worst preformance was still really good
I know, I feel as though that recording of Freddie was done while he was struggling with aids. It may be a reason he's thrown off a bit. It also isn't fair that they chose one of Freddie's worst takes of the song when they should have just used a more average clip, or at least a recording that was closer to the release of the song as Freddie wouldn't be as sick and tired of rinse and repeat
It was Brendon's worst performance too... He sings a lot better in the official live one
Swarnava Sengupta the studio version of that cover is a little...lifeless? idk, but the live is 1) better in general and 2) better for comparison of performance
Swarnava Sengupta but most of the others were live so it’s only fair if theirs is live too
Freddie sweating and dying after 2 hour concert.
Roomie: yea he is tired of this song its like he doesn’t want to sing it
It was very tiring for Freddie to sing a whole two hours concert (every night for several months because of touring) in the way he did. He had a very "chesty" and powerful way of singing that hurt his voice. Plus he had vocal nodules so his stamina was very reduced.
Yea I was thinking that Joel doesnt seem to realise that this is always at the end of a concert, Freddy would be exhausted
Freddie in his grave: y the heck roomie I thought I left a good mark
@ Of course Freddie also literately ran around on the whole stage.
Brendon was in the exact same situation, you cal literally see the swear pouring out of him 💀
The reason Freddy wasn’t singing it the same when you first saw it in this review was because he was quite literally dying at the time. His vocals were were failing and that’s the best he could do. The movie even shows it.
Da faq you’re talking about? This performance of Freddie’s is from 1981, i e 10 full years BEFORE Freddie’s death! He was not diagnosed until ‘87, 6 years after this particular performance. His vocals were failing bc he didn’t bother to take care of it.
BTW that movie is a disgrace to Freddie’s memory!
@I LIKE GUNZZ
In 1981? Are you nuts?! LOL
He was sick from the FLU or something in this, not aids 🤦♀️
he had laryngitis here, he didn't have aids yet
Don't talk nonsense
Freddie mercury then Marc Martel then Adem Lambet then Brendon Urie
I'm a bit disappointed that they did not include the "galileo" and "let me go" part because in those parts Brendon is killing it.
Queen never preformed the operatic part live (hence why Adam and Freddie are never shown on video doing it), they used it as time to change costumes, and for Freddie to have a bit of a vocal rest because of the nodules on his vocal chords which would become more inflamed as tours progressed, that's why he always sounds better during the first show rather than the later shows since they basically did a show every night.
True!!!
yes!!!
I love panic! At the disco and brendons version of it as well his high notes are like out the dang roof 😂
Freddie never sang Galileo
I think it is marc
Freddie has the best voice I’ve ever heard
The fact that he had to mess up Freddie's performance just to make it a fair fight kinda says it all...
Estefanía Núñez ur right and also roomie said he thought the video isolated the vocals. There was probably copyright issues with the song... although we don’t really know what happened because, well, we aren’t roomie or his editor...
Omega your a good evil
No its not fair he insult the original singer
he just wanted to flex his instrument/voice separation program, basically he has a program that separates all the different instruments and voice/s
what are you even talking about?? if by messing up you mean isolating the vocal part from the rest of the instruments then you're completely incompetent! he didn't do it to make him sound bad... "make it a fair fight", seriously why do you need to be such gatekeepers? Music has the worst fanbase out of pretty much anything. Period.
What’s infuriating is that both Freddie and brendons clips aren’t from their best performance of the song for example Brendon does the song way better during the death of a bachelor tour
adams certainly wasn’t his best either.. using 3 live performances against a produced studio video isn’t accurate
Exactly. I listen to that version constantly
and brendon was awesome in the second part, the more "opera" one, which he didn't show in the video.
To me Brendon is always in the top. And the fact that he sings these high notes (Gallileo, let me go etc) that Freddie couldn't is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@user-ft9ny6kl9j I agree. The Panic! At the Disco version will always be my favorite, mostly because of how beautifully those high notes are done in the studio version.
Ξένια Τσιρπάνη you’re delusional if you think he’s better than freddie mercury
brendon was so good why isn’t anyone talking about him?
No he wasnt
It was kinda gross ;-;
in that performance he was totally nervous, his best version of the song is in the "Death of a Bachelor" tour
i really liked his.. when i first heard bohemian rhapsody i didnt think a n y o n e could do half as well as freddie, but brendon actually did such a good job.
Neh
This version of Freddie’s singing isn't as good I have to admit, however the original version of him singing beats all the others
like the live aid
@@henrycunis9361 he also had aids
@@romeorodriguez7972 from what i've heard, it wasn't aids in that performance, he hadn't contracted it yet. he had laryngitis here.
@@icefox94 didn't know that.. that really sucks :(
Freddie was freeballing it cause at that time he was loosing his voice
Actually many versions past the 80s is like that
He didnt start losing his voice till the latest years when this was really mor during the short golden years
@@buffalogaming3931 we must discuss this, listen to mother love first
@The footy guy he didn't have an affects from it till the mid 80s this is from 1981
@@buffalogaming3931 ?? How do you know this? Bc I’m pretty sure we don’t know exactly when freddie got aids so I’m just curious how you know when it started to affect him...
@@fujibooze3594 because when you look at him throughtout the 80s and watch the later 80s concerts compared to the earlier ones he looks much worse
Freddie and Brendon would win by a land slide If they didn't pick the worst clips of them
And Marc
Freddie is the best singer to ever exist and Brendon is the best singer of this time
@HANNAH SCAGGS ah yes, no lies about that one. As a Panic! Fan, I can confirm.
I would like to thank you for adding Brendon into this. 😂😂 Both are and were some of the best singers of their time.
Isn’t this the only time brendon has sung bohemian rhapsody
Freddie and Marc were the best on my opinion
I wasn’t looking at the screen when Marc came on and I genuinely thought it was Freddie
Well if Marc Martel did straight, then it’s not very Freddy Mercury.
Freddie😊✌🏻
Thanks for that 😂
A great bisexual icon
Uncool
Honestly with how he spoke of Mary Austin, it's hard to imagine he wasn't head over heels for anyone but her. It's worth a read into.
This was one of the worst clips that they could have used, the audio wasnt isolated for the rest, I dont get why they picked this and not a studio version 😭 I love freddie, and his singing is Amazing... i mean amazing. Even without the audio it's good, it's just the worst I've seen and that makes me sad☹ the clip at the beginning was awesome
Edit: this comment is only an opinion, please don't @ me
Yeah exactly
Not only Freddie, Adam and Brendon have much better versions too. The guy who made the comparaison video is a huge Marc Martel fan. For him, he picked a recording from his home studio, his most popular video ever btw.
Montreal 1981 is the worst performance? What the fuck are you guys on about? You should listen to some versions from Japan '79 or the Works Tour, Montreal's version is pretty good. Also Marc (the creator of this video) is a huge Freddie Mercury and Queen fan, his whole channel is about them
For a joke
Riiiiiiiiiiiight!!!!! Thought it was just me.
I’m always awed by Freddie at live aid b/c the band said he had laryngitis the days before & on the day he performed! Still sounded unbelievable.
How to Play the Solo:
1: You have to be Brian May
2:You can't be Brian May
nah
its a pretty easy solo to play but a hard solo to master, the tabs are simple enough but getting it to sound just like brian may is a challenge
"You can do anything with my music just don't make me look boring"
-Freddie Mercury
Cheers Geoff
Well said👌
Perfect Playboy NI
*it
Botts King I meant no
That is such a fake queen fan thing to say
Video credit to Marc Ajax an amazing singer and video maker look him up
They really didn't try to choose a good performance by Freddie and the whole isolated voice thing was on purpose to show his mistakes more.
However, Freddie often didn't reach the studio quality live. He sang his voice to death, but many people prefer his live performances, because he was such a beast on stage. Even on a bad day he held every stadium audience in the palm of his hand. It wasn't just about how perfect he could reach his high notes, it was all of him and that's why the “proper“ footage of the same recording was sooo much better.
There are better vocalists than Freddie, but there's no better frontman.
I almost cried reading this, so true
He was registered on a 4 octave vocal range. Not many singers with such a huge range. You don't know what your talking about
@@johannduplessis3467 Some even say he might've gone beyond the 4 octave range, but that's very debatable and there's no general oppinion, if he was a barritone or a tenor, because he mostly sang in a tenor range, but could also go lower if he wanted to (he sings really low in some songs on the Barcelona Album for example and sounds like a different person, it's crazy).
However, vocal range does not equal good vocalist. Freddie didn't have much professional training and his style of singing was very damaging to his vocal cords + a very grueling tour plan. He was a force of nature, but couldn't make the damages to his cords magically disappear, therefore he couldn't always recreate live what he did in the studio - and that's completely normal for many singers. What's so special about him is his stage presence, his charisma and his bigger than life persona. He had this special gift to connect with his audience super easily.
Some of his live performances were on point, others not so much, but audiences loved him even on a bad day, because he was ... well, the whole package of “Freddie Mercury“.
At least we can be sure the studio recordings are all Queen, because that was long before Autotune was a thing. Freddie was a super special singer, that's without any question, anyone can hear and see that even without a musical background.
In these clips that the video chose, Marc Martel sounds more like Freddie Mercury then Freddie Mercury.
I love how Adam Lambert makes it his own. He's in a unique position where he's actually being put in Mercury's role, and had he not made it intentionally his own... He'd forever be compared to Mercury. And that isn't what the remainder of Queen wanted. They didn't want a new Mercury, they wanted a new vocalist. Adam Lambert gives a wildly powerful, and unique, performance.
Also worth noting, Mercury skipped some of the falsetto, and went for the note naturally. Which is absolutely wild.
Marc Martel is the closest in similarity to Mercury, but was also the only "studio" version, whereas all three of the other performances were done live, and likely toward the ends of the performance (I don't know the actual order of when Bohemian Rhapsody was played during the respective sets... But I'm assuming everyone understands that if you lead the set with such a powerful song... there's really nothing that can follow it. It's -that- powerful).
Everyone really rocked the hell out of it, but I just can't picture taking the crown from Mercury, here. When you factor in the performance, the legacy, and everything that lead up to that exact moment at that exact place... Mercury is still one of the most awe inspiring performers we'll probably ever have. Even on an off day, what that man produced was absolutely magnificent.
I'd say it went Mercury, Lambert, Martel, and Urie. With that said... All the performers were phenomenal, regardless. Gold stars for everyone!
Queen described Adam as Gods gift to them in an interview, they love him and i can see why
The sad thing is that wasn't Brendon's best performance of Bohemian Rhapsody. Same can be said for Adam.
I agree with Brendon he has such an amazing voice
Brendons performance on the Death of a Bachelor tour was way better, than the clips shown in this vid
Welcome to roomie channel 🥺 where the clip always not the best by the performer
What about that Freddie clip with the instruments almost silenced? Made it really weird
@@joachimhorshauge I agree
if they chose actually decent clips for brendon and freddie, they would’ve won by a landslide.
That was the best for brendon urie but freddie yes i agree
There was another comment that said the same thing
But there's just the one brendon urie one
The person who made the vid did make a better one with a better live version for Brendan and Freddie and an actual live version for Marc
Haha, i get it
Singing that way as Freddie Mercury in Woodstuck no auto tuning, drinking and smoking on the stage is iconic on itself. Hello, he sang it well, period.
I like how Brendon did it. Especially the opera part. He did that live. And the Best part I had the chance to witness it.
Aka: Roomie try's not to get murdered by the harcore queen fans for 15 minutes
🤣🤣🤣🤣💯hilarious 👏🏼👨🏻👑luv this comment
Roomie should run from me or we'll both have problems
Lmao...
*_im mad_*
*hardcore queen fans join the chat*
Well You have understood what happened😂
They just used the worst clips of Freddy to make the others look good.
@the crazy game your definitely right Montreal is like one of the most live shows that people know I’m sure Milton keneyes could have been used and people would have said the same things
So true
Freddie will always be the best and it does not matter if his clips are bad
Bruh just no
@@violetharmonswife yes
Marc Martel only one!!!!
No matter how many times I listen this Queen's performance, I always get goosebumps.
Chose the worst recording of Freddie singing the song
I think that was the time he is starting to feel his health condition that is why he sound like he's tired
@Rattadot that's what I was saying, he chose the worst one
@@chongki0714 yeah they could've gone with an earlier version of the song
To be the worst of Freddie....would be the best for most....
What do you mean worst it’s was released on streaming services for a reason
Petition for Joel to cover Bohemian Rhapsody? The small bits he sang in this video sounded epic
Signed and seconded.
Lizzie Hollick signed
Signed, that would be epic!!
YES
Yess!!
Freddie singing “I don’t want to die” is where I got chills… he is and always will be a legend ❤️ I do agree with how you judged the vocal renditions though.
13:22 HAHAHHAHA YES THE WAY HE LOOKS AT THE PIANO HAHAHAHA. ALSO, THANK GOD WE GET TO HEAR THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF QUEEN, THANKS FOR LOOKING IT UP, JOEL. GOSH I'M GONNA WATCH THOSE FULL PERFORMANCES AGAIN, ARGH IT'S SOOO GOOD.
Title: Who sang Bohemian rhapsody the be-
Me: *FREDDIE.*
I meann.....Did he tho......
Campanaro Nembrese that was me also! I was like why do you even test it i mean the answer is obvious
The original definitely the best version ever but Brendon is the best cover clearly
There's no contest!
Wow ur so quirky
How did you find the WORST iso recording of Freddie ever???!!! Your boy Mark does nail it however. Peace!!! The give me money thing was super funny.!!!
I'm pretty sure he's reacting to a compilation video, not his fault, other than the fact that it means he put less effort into researching
@William Vazquez that is by no means the worst Borhap performance by Freddie. In fact, it's one of the better ones. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody in Tokyo 1979 ;D
*Marc
I honestly it was all bad to be fair... They should've at least included the full clip of their performance... Like when Brendon hit the high note... 😒
All of them have better live performances. Marc was not live here though like the others.
This freddie guy sounds amazing, he should be a musician
@Wan.09 damn, as if i was just joking huh
Marc Martel has the Freddie Mercury growl which I think really makes it. Also I've seen that clip that they used of Freddie, and it was very late into a performance so I think he was losing his voice or something. 😂
They found freddie’s absolute worst performance ksjdjdhfh
thechildrenofbrisus - shdhdfhdheshjshdhdhdhdhhdh so true!
The outhers had music in backround he didn't realize that
Ikr
i think they did that on purpose so that the others would have a chance haha. the marc guy sounded the best cause he sounded the most like how freddie normally would haha. they all had their moments tho of doing best.
Great reply will you like to be my friend :)
Marc Martel did lend his voice for the movie Bohemian Rapsody. He did parts that Rami couldnt sing and that of course Mercury couldnt. They did however use some of vocal stems from Queen master tapes
Rami didnt sing in the movie. From my knowledge and from trying to look all over cant find anywhere, where he actually sings to prove he did. Sure he might of actually "sung" in the movie but not had his voice used. Most of it was Marc Martel and possibly someone else. I mean if I am wrong, then I'll obviously take it back but from trying to find a single video of Rami singing, I havent had any luck at all. And not including the singing on set because might as well be a background recording in all fairness.
Warg I think Rami’s voice is only mixed in enough to make it look like the music matches the video. But I don’t know I have no sources as well, but I suspect that if his voice is in there at all it’s very minimal.
@@seankingdon8346 Nope, Rami's voice during singing wasn't recorded. The songs were mainly sung by Freddie or sometimes by Marc Martel (Happybirthday, Love of my life, The Smile song)
Jako Taki fun fact though they brought back the original singer from smile (I forget his name) to record doing all right
If you look at Spotify you can see that all the songs on the bohemian rhapsody track are queen originals and are dubbed over the movie. I also own the official bohemian rhapsody record for the movie it gives near to all credit to queen and Freddie mercury himself so mar Martel may of helped Rami Malek with how to sing the songs but all the songs in the movie are queen songs from the studio dubbed in!
Marc Martel aka guy at 1:31, looks like Freddie Mercury at that angle
Freddie is incomparable here in the clip of Freddie Mercury his voice is a bit breaking, but if you see the studio version then there would be no more comparisons......
As he's the champion..
I’m upset that the muppets cover wasn’t in this
omg right i was expecting that...
Yeah! They know that's the best one....😏😂
i wish :¬\
The muppet was presenting the video
THERES A MUPPET COVER 😂
it’s sad that most of these aren’t their best performances
All of these actually
He choose the one who benefits him lol
The guy who made the comparaison video is a huge Marc Martel fan. For him, he picked his recording from his home studio..
Ok so at 3:48 what was going on was a kind of throat bass which is a half-fry that thickens the sound and is mainly used in Mongolian throat singing and beatboxing. It was due to the switch between vocal registers which unintentionally accessed the half fry register. Throat bass is almost the same as subharmonic but doesn’t produce the undertone
When it comes to covers that beat the originals, I'd say the one that impacted me the most has got to go to Disturbed's cover of "The Sound of Silence".
Freddie was exhausted after a 2 hour concert that’s why.
And? In the nicest way possible, you've gotta learn to deal with that. Brendon urie play's this song toward the end of his concert too and puts just as much passion into it as every other song.
BathTimeTyler It was freddie's second night in montreal and he had a rough throat at the time, he was advised by his doctors to not perform, regardless, he put on a show with no in ear monitors, meaning it was difficult to hear himself with the music blaring. So "in the nicest way possible," he did the best given the conditions.
@@steven7285 bro they were just saying that wasn't the reason. They never said freddie did bad. They were just saying most artists do this song towards the end so this wasn't the reason.
bethany busby i never made the assumption that he said freddie was bad, i simply stated that the example he gave [Brendon Urie] was not comparable as freddie had a lot more going against him to justify a poor performance than brendon
I gave you 69 likes. Thank you
I've heard Brendon sing Bohemian Rhapsody live TWICE and I can say without a doubt he can do a lot better than what was shown in that clip :(
Thank you for saying that buddy. I've heard different versions of this song from different artists and different versions from an artist in different settings
BUT I put Freddie first and Brendon 2nd every single time.
Maybe my bias is showing but I don't care. :)
Recordings can’t do his voice justice and I’m sure the same goes for the others
Alice Carter Panic! At The Disco always preforms older rock songs at their concerts (Billy Joel, Aerosmith, etc) and Bohemian Rhapsody is one of songs Brendon seemed like to preform the most. Eventually that became a thing and they even recorded an official cover for the soundtrack for Suicide Sqaud
BRENDON IS KING!!!
yeah, the death if the bachelor tour was way better
Really bad Freddie clips.
1. Freddie
2. Freddie on a bad day (sick, drunk, whatever)
3. Mark Martel
4. Pentatonix
5. Others who can actually sing ...
Edit - Mark's actual voice is very much like Freddie. He's not putting it on.
The reason that Freddie’s voice was singled out a such is because it was used from
The WWRY Release and not from the Rock Montreal that overdubbed Freddie’s crack towards the end, it also changed the pitch on “begun” and “away”
"I don't care what you do with my music, just don't make it boring."
- Freddie
Who sang it better comes down to taste, and no one person can truly do it better. But the person who'd we would all choose be our first choice to see again will always be Freddie.
Amen brother.
Yes somebody with culture
Great comment !
Yes,absolutely
Definitely.
Isn't that when Freddie fell ill and he's starting to lose his voice
No or if he did have it he would of only caught like a couple weeks before and not had any symptoms
He had aids that time so ye
He stopped performing live before his illness and had a hard time performing live when he came back together with the Queen
I don't know but i think they should have chosen a better video
Yea
No one can break the epic bohemian rhapsody voice than Freddy Mercury Himself...
What’s great about Marc is that it’s natural.
It’s Freddie. He was the best. But beebo did great.

Dude, Marc Martel is just Freddie Mercury on his second account.
Yes, perhaps Freddie Mercury forgot his password
Freddie must have gotten rebooted in a different way
Maxim Fernandes
AIDS
He got hacked by AIDS
He got a virus.
The "Holy Moley" at Brian's age gave me a good chuckle
I watched Adam lambert sing it live and he will always hold a special place in my heart, not only for his live performance, but also from his glee appearance, but I still think freddy sang the best, just my opinion though
Freddie was like 2 hours into the show. He was trying to efficiently sing the song so his voice didn't give out for the rest of the 3 hour concert. He wanted to hit the notes but didn't want to hold them for to long. That's why the rhythm was changed
I'd also like to point out that it was also late into Brendon's show as well, so yeah
Am I the only one who is here that likes your channel but can’t sing if my life depended on it
Summer Fjetland you are spitting straight facts 👍♥️
Tbh, I sound like a dying donkey when I attempt high notes 😂
You can with training :) just ear training and voice understanding
Saaaaaaame ♥️♥️
Me to
Freddie is of course #1
Marc is so close to Fred it's amazing how close marc sounds like Fred and Brendon truly added theatrically. While the issue with the clip you used for Freddie is an overly edited thing of only isolated vocals.
I want you to whisper "Please, Senpai" in my ear. too bad I'm already subscribed
bohemian rhapsody is like the only song that you can't make the cover be better than the original
I mean certainly agree for this song but I think there are many other songs out there like that... maybe I'm just an original-ist
I agree as well
No not really
Very true
Not rlly....
Adam Lambert is an excellent singer and I love how he doesn't try and sound like Freddie. Same with Brendon Urie.
Yeah I like how Freddie trys to sound like Freddie
yeah so true Adam wasn’t THAT good but some part he did good and I love that Brendon was my favorite artist in-till I found Queen.
I mean Adam Lambert is basically the frontman for Queen
Ikr i love Adam Lamdert!
Marc isn't just LEAVE HIM ALOOOOONE BECAUSE HE just sound like that YOu 12 YeArOlDs
i find it funny that in the rock section of bohemian rhapsody from rock montreal, freddie sounds more like marc martel that in some recordings of marc. in some of them, marc sounds more like freddie than like himself
Marc did all the performances for the movie
Roomie likes to live dangerously by reviewing Freddie Mercury and Brendon Urie vocals 😂
No kidding, there’s like a cult of Brendon Urie, and they we’ll fight you
@@chaoticatom6150 As a Brendon Urie fan I agree 😂
Am i the only one who is mad coz they didn't use the official live performance of Brendon? Also the high notes of Beebo that they skipped in the vid 😭 I'm so mad
sAMEEE
Swarnava Sengupta me too omg, I love joel I watch his videos and I’m so sad that I’m upset with this video
Swarnava Sengupta 𝕀 𝕎𝔸𝕊 𝕋𝕆𝕆
@@reebelRT petition to make Joel react to the oficial one
@@reebelRT same 😢
Axl Rose and Elton John actually sang it as well at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert...sounds pretty cool too
Roomie singing few parts almost blasted my eardrums
Man it’s kinda unfair comparing studio and live versions
When do we ever see studio versions in this video?
Killer Queen YEAH LIKE ROOMIE HASNT DONE ANY HOMEWORK TO THE DIFFERENCES OF LIVE AND STUDIO AND THE FACT THAT HE REALLY DOESNT KNOW HE SANG 2 HOURS IN CONCERTS SO HIS VOCALS GET ALL ROUGH AND HE CHANGES HIS WAY OF SINGING *BRUH*
@@llacrymossa Bro I'm pretty sure Roomie didn't mean this video seriously, he's very sarcastic and this comment section is going crazy about him not praising Freddie as much as they want to
Matias Pereyra you Must be blind with marc lmao
@@shayjaqueline Thats him singing the entire damn thing live. Freddie in montreal however has been edited, and his vocal cracks havr been dubbed
Ive seen Brendon sing this live and so many more videos of him singing it and hes so much better than the clip. Also the Freddie video is rubbish he really is better than that.
They should’ve done the studio recording. I think, even though being a huge Queen fan, Freddie was WAY TOO MUCH overhyped for what he actually does.
yeah they should’ve done the studio recording or at least his official live performance
...Tf is that supposed to mean?
Well.. I know its your opinon and stuff.. and I respect it.. except give him a break, he's so overworked, and he cant get it perfect all the time, and his editors (or roomie, idk) picked the worst video of him singing BoRhap, and his voice was isolated so it gave him a disadvantage.
@@ardinaattia8 stop making problems that are not there! You litterally said EXACTLY what i said. That the Freddy clip used was rubbish.
@@heidibaltom8138 Stfu, man 😂😂 you didnt say anything that has to do with what I said. All you said was he was rubbish and he's better than that. Maybe you could have EDITED it instead of being a total asshole
I'm new here but Joel what you done! 😱 Putting Freddy in the last place! Are you crazy! 🤣
I like how this video went from “who sang it the best” to “holy shit he’s popping off just let him finish the video”
freddie was also battling aids... and had just sung a whole concert... so i really don't think it's fair to compare them. and also the others kind of just stand there, but freddie is so energetic (i'm thinking about the live aid performance especially).
No. This video is from 1981. Freddie didn't have AIDS then. Do some research before you write next stupid comment.
Yeah... same thing with Brandon... I think this it's not a very fair comparison.. makes zero sense..
@@nikimati3695 but the concert part is true... so... it's a bit of a reach to compair singers that had just sung an entire concert and are tired af, to a singer that is just there playing the piano and recording on a studio... while sitting down...
@Noah Amann it wasn't Live Aid though

Hmm yeah yup
You should listen to Newton Faulkners version. I love it because he just seems to be having so much fun!
-Who sang “bohemian rhapsody” the Best?
- f r e d d i e
Marc Martel isn’t trying to sound like Freddie most of the time, that’s how effortless his impression is, he started singing in his band a long time ago, before he heard of Queen, and people would just go up to him and say “You sound like Freddie Mercury”, and so he checked out his “voice twin” and he fell in love with Queen, and Queen learned about him because of an online audition foe a band called Queen Extravaganza
He tells that story on almost every concert lol
Started band in his 20s and never heard Queen? Did he never go to sports events, skating rink, or have radio? He obviously sings well and in the same range as Freddie, but I don’t buy his story.
@A Be nice, he's Canadian. He knew the 3 top radio played Queen songs, but was more into George Michael as a fan. When he was young, Queen was giving way to other artists, then had a resurgence in the late 80s to early 90s.
@@randiskye4444 he is Québécois
He did Freddie Mercury's voice for the movie si I don't think he is effortless
Lets be honest here,
Joel is literally making the quarantine 200% better with his daily videos....
He uploads just when I wait for my dinner so it's easier 😆❤
