    Fantastic tribute to Queen! And knocked out of the park with the organ!

    If I hadn't seen the movie this rendition wouldn't have mattered to me, except that it's a gay mens' chorus. Moving to see such a large chorus perform with a fine solist, organ and piano. Congratulations!

    Freddie smiled down from Heaven when he saw this. A great, worthy tribute. That said, OH, how I miss Freddie.

      kayper54 - when we lost Freddie, we lost a great artist. So what if he was gay. So are Sir Ian McKellan, Elton John, and Neil Patrick Harris. And lord knows how many other talented artists. Saddest of all that Freddie died of AIDS. Aids has taken too many people from our world. I feel blessed that in my almost 50 years of living as a gay man, I have only lost 1 friend to AIDS. Craig, u beautiful man, RIP.

    Love this. The ending, with "Any way the wind blows ... " and its subtle unresolved dissonance on F - G is so very telling. Genius.

I was with my Dad in Italy for the 91 Three Tenors, and it is a sound that is literally tangible. Bless ya'll, if you ever make in to South Florida, I hope to come see y'all.

    Wow, you guys are absolutely fabulous!!!! That soloist is just phenomenally gifted!!! Freddy's voice was internationally acclaimed, in that his vocal ranges were so wide and strong. This song, in particular, showcased this and has been written about by many authorities in the field. To be able to keep up with Freddy in this song, takes an incredible natural gift and talent. Freddy was, indeed, smiling down when the GMCLA did this. Whoever that soloist is, please shake his hand for me and......hang on to him!!! He's got GAME!!!!

    How can people dislike this wonderful and outstanding performance ? It's done beautifully and the solo singer was great. The soloist has exceptionally beautiful voice and great skill, controlling emotional part superbly, not making it over the top, and I had tears in my eyes at some point as it was very moving and touched my soul. Well done gents. You were the best.

    Freddie claimed he had been working on three songs and decided to put them together. Perhaps. Some people claim this was Freddie's coming out song. We will never know for sure. What we do know is that this master piece is true genius. Freddie knew where every note was to be played before he entered the recording studio
    For that we can be eternally grateful. Love you Freddie!

I will say this is quite a different spin to sing this song, and probably the 1st time I did not sing along, lol, so I could listen to all of the amazing soloists.

    • @jimroman
      @jimroman  6 років тому +5

      One of the joys of working in a city where Entertainment is the largest industry: GMCLA has the opportunity to select from a remarkable collection of very strong performers. As a result, the chorus is actually divided into _eight_ parts, with half the chorus comprised of tenors. Our tenors come in four flavors! There are low First Tenors singing different notes from High Second Tenors. D.J. Pick, the soloist in this video is a High First Tenor.
