Freddie had a four-octave range to his voice. It still amazes everybody who has ever been privileged to hear him sing.
RIP, Freddie. We still love you, too.❤️❤️❤️
That includes world famous opera singer Montserrat Caballe
Elvis had a 4 and 1/2 Freddie had to be at the very least 5
ua-cam.com/video/UpjKlOM7KQ4/v-deo.html this is 4 and 1/2 Freddie is 5 or more
@@iammacattack he was very near 5 octaves
Freddie Mercury is a *LEGEND!* What’s their drummer’s name? He can sing super smooth as well! GREAT JOB!!!!!
The drummer is Roger Taylor. Guitarist Dr Brian May (who also has a PhD and is an Astrophysicist), and bassist John Deacon. By the way, they are not classically trained, but they all can play multiple instruments.
so happy you noticed Roger Taylor! Great drummer with a great voice. Those backup vocals are perfect.
u need to check out "im in love with my car" montreal version
I appreciate when reactors catch what Taylor is doing back there. His voice has always kinda reminded me of Rod Stewart, but he can hit those ridiculous high notes. I'll Always love my guy, Deacy tho. I understand why he quit performing when Freddie died, but he's a bit of an unsung legend of Queen. His bass playing is awesome, he's written some of the biggest hits and talk about a loyal dude.
@@DonnaleaSpencer and makes a disturbingly beautiful schoolgirl.
This was before auto tune when artists actually could sing and play instruments
Queen is one of the greatest bands ever
You don't know what autotune even is or why it's so widely used now. Dont speak on shit you don't know about.
@@Cactusfruitsquisher angry much
Right !
@@Cactusfruitsquisher autotune is used to fix the sound(vocals mostly) in short, it fixes the voice to a perfect sound/notes n stuff. Nowadays a lot of "singers" use it to make their voice reach unreachable notes, that's why autotune has a bad rep(?). Some people literally could have no vocals at all, use the autotune and the person will have perfect vocals but they will sound computer-ish af :)
@@Cactusfruitsquisher why u angry u use it to cover ur terrible voice
Even after death Freddie has that huge impact. Heroes get remembered but legends never die
"I feel empowered. I feel like I can do anything now!"
And that is why us '80s teens took on the world. We lost but we tried anyway and this particular one is ready to take his last stand.
We didn't have iPhones at concerts, we held up cigarette lighters (you might need to look that one up, young 'un!)
This is Queen....the most talented band EVER!! Their music will live forever!! It's such a pity more young people don't take the time to listen to them, then they'd know what music is not the noise they listen to nowadays!! Long live Queen!!❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE seeing young people discover Queen. Freddie was... well, let's just say that they broke the mold when he was made. All of the members were/are super talented and smart. Freddie LOVED Aretha Franklin, and I would have loved to see them perform this as a duet!
You feel like your in it because Freddie Mercury is THE master showman! Voice specialists have actually studied Mercury's voice, it is so unique.
I'm 76 and just discovered what a wonderful band. Freddie Mercury is the best singer in my lifetime. I love them all and the bassist John Deacon needs more attention. He wrote about four of their hits and is best bassist I've heard.
Im 77 known Queen for a very long time
Timeless
No disrespect to John Deacon, and I agree he deserves more attention, but you wanna talk about the best bassist I got three names for you.
Billy Sheehan
Stu Ham
Dusty Hill
Lol! “I feel empowered!” Welcome to the power of Queen, and a song from 40 years ago!!! ❤️
“Don’t Stop Me Know”
I laughed so hard! I told my screen like I was talking to him too his face "That's right baby, that's how you're supposed to feel!!!"
I'm 54 yoswf and have enjoyed watching this young man and his reactions 😄
The 'S' is for Southern, not single HAHAHA
Someone take this man to a concert when it's ok to do it! He needs that! He will never be the same! Cheers to you, Man!
Freddie said this was a gospel song that he wrote and if you think of it in those terms, the lyric takes on an even more powerful meaning. He spends his life working hard, gets his hard earned pay and goes home alone with nobody to share it with. He is praying for somebody to love and his voice is so vibrant and beautiful that I am guessing that the angels gathered his message and took it straight to the gods and goddesses. Good reaction on this song. The QUEEN catalog is massive so I hope that you will go forward and experience even more. Roger Taylor (Drummer) has such a great voice that he would be a lead singer in any other band or he would be fired for being better than the lead singer in any other band. Brian May (guitar) is so skilled and also has a great singing voice, this is how they get those amazing harmonies. John Deacon (bass) sings back up but never wanted to really sing so he just adds to the harmonic value of the band and is one of the best bassists in rock and roll. Rolling Stone Magazine called Roger and John "The Sonic Volcano". They truly are the spine of the band. And Freddie is the frontman and lead singer. No need to explain his talents to you, you just witnessed them. They were a true quartet, each member contributing equally to the outstanding sound and music of the band. All four play multiple instruments and have written number 1 hits for QUEEN. If you want to see the band in full action and Freddie holding an audience in the palm of his hand, react to their 21 minute set at the Live Aid concert in 1985. They manage to get 6 songs into that 20 minute slot and Freddie has control of the crowd on the second note he plays on the piano and holds them throughout the set. QUEEN was very smart with the songs they chose and the order they presented them in that show. In that set, you will see Freddie sweat and also smile so incredibly wide because he knows they absolutely nailed their performance. It is one for the history books.
I'm so happy you opened this can of worms.. Mercury's Voice is amazing
THE best!! BEST!🏆🏆🏆🏆🎤🎵🎶🎼🎹🎹🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Queen is Legendary and always will be..Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Don't forget Roger's backing vocals while playing the drums. Concerts are not like that today. No lip syncing whatsoever. Pure natural talent. ❤️🔥
This is my dad's all time favorite song. When I was 10 he showed it to me (I'm 35 now) and I was hooked forever. I'm a hardcore Queen fan since then. Thanks dad!
Ginger ale 😂😂😂 It’s beer, haha! Though he kept water up there too, sometimes with things added to soothe his throat. As for Brian’s 80s hair, he had that hair in the 70s and still rocks it today, only much grayer! Love your genuine reaction.
Also this song is gospel-inspired in sound but also in meaning - the song has him praying for God to send him someone to love. The idea is that he works so hard but brings his money back to an empty house, which makes him desperate for someone to share things with. Freddie had fallen in love with a woman named Mary Austin - they were engaged - but split up when he came to terms with his sexuality in the late 70s and admitted it to her. She forgave him and they stayed incredibly close as sort of platonic soulmates until the end of his life. He had up and down relationships with different men until he met Jim Hutton (after this) and stayed with him from the mid-80s until he passed away in 1991. So he did eventually find somebody to love!
Heineken, my dear!
@@laurenraubaugh9542 He needs to watch Bohemian Rhapsody, that movie really helps with understanding more about the band.
There is beer up there but not for Freddie. Freddie never drank anything with bubbles in it before or during a concert. He said it would be very rude if he were to burp during his singing so he mostly sipped tea with lemon and honey since it would sooth his throat and he sang with all he had so needed it to keep doing his best as he always did.
I’ve said it a million times... there will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury. He’s unique voice hooked us all
Queen is always legendary. This is my favourite band of all time! They even recorded bohemian rhapsody close to where I live.
HILARIOUS point about Freddie not sweating!
When I was growing up, Queen was experiencing a resurgence in popularity because of "Bohemian Rhapsody" being used in the movie "Wayne's World" (1992), but they were around since the 70's. They're actually the 2nd most collectible band in England -- meaning only Beatles auctions for memorabilia bring in more money. Aside from Freddie, that guitarist is the other star of the band -- Brian May.
He actually works with NASA. Smart dude.
I Love your reaction!!! Welcome to the world of Queen!! I was lucky to see them in 1980...they were the best live band EVER! Enjoy more Queen music!
👀, this young man, was the greatest front man & singer in the history of music ✨🙌🏻✨, 🐧
Freddie's voice was otherworldly. He was phenomenal.
Freddie mercury had a female love of his life named Mary and even though he was gay they stayed friends and became really involved with each other's personal affairs, so I think 🤔 he was singing to her.. there's a movie about them and the rise of these amazing people!
Here we go, vocals live 101 - that’s how you do it. Freddie is amazing.....his sustains are unbelievable, he just rolls like it’s easy and it’s not.......ok let’s do it.....talent, not technology. 🎼🎶🎶🎹🎸🤘😎🔥enjoy!
I love you're honest and innocent reactions to Queen. I know this was posted awhile ago, but you've made my day. RIP Freddie. He was magnificent as was the band!!! You rock my friend!
Fabulous! Queen still are the genuine article! While their studio work is awesome, their live performances are EPIC if not magical! A testament to their pure, eternal talent! Freddie was inspired by Aretha Franklin when he wrote this. He was a huge Aretha fan. This was sung in the movie "Ella Enchanted." Drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May both still have fantastic underrated singing voices also. Aside from beer and water on the piano, Freddie Mercury (lead vocals) also had hot lemon honey drinks to soothe his vocal cords because, though they made it look like a walk in the park, their music is NOT easy to sing.
My favorite song and version of this song. Hey, it was THEIR favorite, too. This was a masterpiece.
Their live performances are iconic, but if you listen to the album versions, they are magical in a different way. Highly recommend
A lot of folks(Millennials, Generation Z, etc.) are discovering the music of the past, Queen included.
I like you noticed the drummer sings and plays at the same time. Takes a lot of practice to use all 4 limbs and sing and keep the beat. Took me a while to be able to do that. And I thought playing guitar and singing at the same time was hard
guitarist Brian May made his own guitar could you believe that all four were magnificent artists
Super reaction! Thanks. Freddie has a lot of different sounds, all beautiful. Heavier rock in their beginning, to soft ballads, to stadium rock, anthem rock, some rock-a -billy, some rock & roll, some 1920/1930 sounds tossed in. He can go falsetto to deeper vocals. Stick with the heavier stuff for now, Another One Bites The Dust, or Dragon Attack, Under Pressure, maybe One Vision. Later on, for a look at QUEEN from the 1970s - I recommend their song video "White Queen" (A Night At the Odeon/Hammersmith 1975)" You'll see the group with long hair, Freddie in a different atmosphere. More of a mythical story song. Just lovely.
You should listen to George Michaels version at Freddies tribute concert...another man with a voice of an angel
That first Sombody to Love by Freddie always gives me goosebumps
I know what you meant but saying "Bag all the ladies with that voice" about Freddie had me in stitched :'D, great reaction though ^^
Arnt you going to explain why?
Actually they're not trained singers, just blessed with natural talent.
Thanks, LFR - the entire band was amazing --- I was privileged to see them a few times - although not this particular concert - they were all this and more -- every member was a unique contributor! Hope to hear more Queen reactions from you! Peace!
So jealous!
Ginger ale! Omg! I love you, JoJo! It’s Heineken beer!
Is it? He normally had a few different drinks in front of him
Love the outros with the song that was played at the end.
We Will Rock You is another legendary song by them.
Freddie's 80's look was very different from his 70's look with long hair. You need to check out Queen's 'We Will Rock You', 'We Are The Champions', 'Under Pressure', 'Don't Stop Me Know', 'These Are The Days Of Our Lives', 'The Show Must Go On' (last 2 are later songs of theirs).
Definitely check out 'Under Pressure" live at Wembley 1986
I highly recommend you watch Queen's official video for We Will Rock You! It was filmed in Roger's (drummer) backyard in the snow. You know the chorus, but I think you will love listening to the whole song!
I love that you called them a “team.” More than most bands, Queen was a team, with all members writing hits, all members getting a chance to show off their instrumental chops, all members literally harmonizing.
None of them were classily trained in music. Freddie lean to play piano when he was in-boarding school (in choir)
Both Freddie and Brian had 4 years of classical piano training until they were 12, but only Freddie of all Queen members could read sheet music.
Jane Matthews not true ... Freddie was not great at speed reading music.. he could write it but it wasn’t instinctive.
The lyrics are so well known they are documented everywhere on the internet so maybe have them handy (“tears run down from my eyes” there was no running down his face !) Freddie loved opera and he sang with one of the worlds most talented sopranos Montserrat Caballe. At some point in your Queen journey you will need to check some of that.... bit early in the journey though . Get a feel for the scale of Queens shows ... watch Wembley 1986 or Live Aid 1985. If you haven’t seen the original 1975 video of Bohemian Rhapsody then there’s another must do . Have fun... will be back if I see some more Queen :) 👍
@@JaneRtn I believe you mean Sight Reading and that's not necessarily what being able to read sheet music means. Lots of people can read sheet music but can't sight read. Sight reading is an advanced level for more experienced musicians. Freddie could read music but I don't think he could sight read. But he was classically trained, meaning he took lessons by practicing classical music.
Queens concerts were a build up from beginning to end. Saw them 7 times. Each time was different. That was what was awesome about seeing them live. The songs were better live. You were part of this experience.
Dr Brian May(PhD) is an Astrophysicist, John is an Electronics Engineer and Roger had at one point been training to be Dentist!
I went to the same school as Roger (a few years later). Legend had it that the vice principle in my day had been the careers adviser that told Roger to be a dentist because there was no firm future in drumming. Apocryphal perhaps, but the story followed that teacher down every hallway like a shadow.
Freddie said he didn’t want to be a rockstar, he wanted to be a legend! Well done Freddie, we’ll done!! ❤
This is why I love reaction videos. It freshens up 40 year old material AND brings it to young people. Bless you Jojo. Now let's look at some Dee schemer. Lol
So amazing... it's like seeing an old friend through fresh, new eyes! Keep 'em coming Jojo! SO enjoyed your perspective!!!
Queen love of my life is my favorite
Me too😍
Brian May, the curly dark haired guitarist, is also an astrophysicist with a PhD and was Chancellor of a university in England. A very impressive group of guys.
"how do they do it so easily?" Most do not. Freddy has one of the biggest ranges (how many notes he can sing and still sound good) and incredible control compared to most other singers. If you ever wondered why he has that gap in his teeth despite being rich as hell, he worried that if he ever "fixed" it, he would lose some of his control and/or range.
You feel like you're at the concert because Freddy and queen have amazing crowd control.
This is the magical Queen love them❤️🌹👍
Freddie had honey and lemon water on the piano for his voice.
Queen is hands down the best band. and freddie is the best vocalist. ever.
love the reaction. you really pay attention and listening to the lyrics. u have a new subscriber.
You really need to react to Queen live aid full concert 1985 it’s only 20 minutes long the best experience ever I was there freaking awesome
Welcome to the genius of Queen! The way you feel listening to their music is how you should feel.
If you want to continue your Queen repertoire, give a listen to Don't Stop Me Now (my ultimate happy song), Under Pressure, Love of My Life, Who Wants to Live Forever (all live from Wembley in '86).
Omg, Roger's drumming on this (or anything else) is absolutely amazing & as for Freddie's voice... 🤯
Don't hesitate to jump feet first down this amazing rabbit hole called Queen!! Worth every minute you spend in there!!❤️❤️❤️
Also fun fact All the members write the songs they sing, and each band member has had songs that have gone gold.
Been listening to Queen for over 50 years and you
will never see hear any thing like Queen ever again and beloved Freddie
Your reactions are awesome! So glad you discovered Queen!
Freddie Mercury was a true Musical Genius! He knows real music! I love this song. It’s hope! 💕💕🙏❤
They are indeed legends
Let’s not forget the 5th member of Queen . Spike Edney on keyboards.
He joined Queen in 1984. This is 1981.
Fred Mandel joined in 1982 for the Works tour, and was with them until 1984 when Spike joined them
@@leonarae8496 And before that, on their European Tour, they had Morgan Fisher doing the honours on keyboards. Late of Mott the Hoople and before that with a teenage band called Love Affair, he was the first one they turned to when Freddie decided to stop playing and focus more on the singing and performing aspects. They'd got to know each other on tour in America, when Queen were opening for the better-known Mott... there's some fun footage of them somewhere on YT, all hanging out together..
PaperCup I knew they had supported Mott the Hoople but I didn’t know about the rest. That’s good to know. I learn something more every day. Thanks for that 😊
@@leonarae8496 You're welcome Leona. :-)
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Queen. I know there are over 35 videos available so you get to have some fun. Queen is Freddie Mercury-vocalist, piano, guitar, Brian May -guitar, piano, Roger Taylor - drums, guitar, John Deacon - bass, keyboards. The most cool thing about Queen is all 4 of the members have written #1 hit songs no other band Ever has done that! and yes you really need to watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody to gt a better idea of their history.
Im loving ur reactions to Queen. It’s fun to see you appreciate old school talent.
God bless you , Sir! Welcome to the Queen FAM.!
delightful reaction, I can feel your joy. Much love from Wales. x
Love the queen reactions. Love that you give all these classics a try, not many reactors do ♡
How fortunate was I be to be there? I'm replaying this! Those were the days. Thank you for sharing and great to see you youngsters appreciating Queen. Keep sharing please.
Again, go for the album version. You'll be blown away by just how high that man can sing. I imagine he doesn't sing as high in concerts, to conserve his voice.
You should really react to a song from the same concert. It's called Save me. That is one of my favorite performances of Freddie. He sings that so beautiful and the lightning and scenery on the stage is matching so nice. Give it a go !
I really enjoy your enthusiasm and appreciation for music outside your usual genre. You have opened up an endless world. Keep watching, keep listening and keep enjoying. Don't forget when the time comes to open the world of music to any children you may have so it's not lost for future generations. Best of everything to you! Queen is one of my all time favorites.
Freddie and Queen always gave the fans "their money's worth". Best rock performers ever! Love your reactions. :)
On second thoughts would love to see your reaction to “another one bites the dust” one of the few queen songs where I’d personally recommend the official video for the crisp sound. And yes you know it but probably didn’t realise it was Queen.
I was about suggest the same song. Perfect suggestion!
queen actually had one of the biggest concerts, when they filled the while Wembley stadium for a charity event together with other bands
Freddie was a gift from God.
@8:00, when you said how you can't put it into words; In medical jargon they call that aphasia, but in musical aficionado-speak, we call that having your mind blown :)
Jojo you've to look up Queen's back catalogue. You won't be disappointed. They were the best. I can't believe you've never been to a concert!
Mercurys voice is on a whole fucking different level .
Barcelona is a brilliant track by Freddie Mercury and Monserat Caballe. I think you will be blown away if you give it a listen
What a great, enjoyable reaction. You got a new sub. 👍🏻❣️
I love when you said 'I feel empowered', I felt that. :)
This is my happy song.. I start every morning listening to this version of this song...... Welcome to the Queen Journey!
You're spot on, legendary!
I suggest you re-watch these without interruption on your own. You miss a lot stop and starting. You won't regret it😊
Leave the boy do whatever he wants.
@@saoirseblue5353they weren’t even being rude why are you getting so defensive
Love your reaction! This song is a tribute to gospel & Aretha Franklin, one of Freddie's great inspirations. You MUST listen to the official studio version of the song much better in my opinion. The precision of the harmonics are off the chart!
God given talent and a lot of practice, practice, practice to get his kind of voice. He sang opera. His voice was one of a kind.
Roger Taylor (og drummer) and Brian May (og guitarist) are still on tour as Queen+Adam Lambert 🤷🏻♀️ It's the closest we'll ever get to seeing Queen fr. It was an amazing concert, tbh
Queen were originally called Queenie - after Freddie Mercury's dog ;)
If you like this, check out George Michael's performance of this at the Freddie Mercury memorial concert where he performed with the remaining members of Queen. That was mind-blowing.
Hon, I am enjoying your Freddie Mercury and Queen experience and journey. Good luck with not getting addicted to Freddie Mercury. I am completely addicted to Freddie Mercury and Queen. I have always loved Freddie and I always will
Another fun fact. Brian May on lead guitar is also an astrophysicist
I feel empowered. That's it. That is what Freddie does.
This is my favorite song by queen! Any one of their songs you can feel through your entire body. It’s definitely an experience that lives with you forever. ❤️
You need to listen to more. It’s a great song but there are so many! 😊It is Freddie’s fave too. He wrote as an homage to Aretha Franklin.
Jovan, you are very enjoyable to watch. You express yourself with no foul language. Impressive!!!!
You're adorable. Thanks for explaining you young folks' lingo. I was listening to Queen, Pink Floyd, Rush, Rolling Stones, Boston, and so many amazing bands when I was a teen. I hear you; I wish you had music like this too. At least you can listen to/watch great music from the past, so all's not completely lost. ❤️
Queen is simply the best! Raw , amazing talent since 1971👑
I came late to Queen, around 25 years ago. I started with the album "The Game" and bought more albums after that. They are the band I sing along with in the car with the radio LOUD. I believe their first big hit was Killer Queen.
I've seen Queen three times! Loved every minute. I miss you Freddy!
