      heartlessoni13 It was a very impressive performance, It's one of the best covers of the song I've seen in a while. it's authentic but still incorporates the artist's style. And the change in technique throughout the song is a stylistic choice which can be seen in most of panic's music.

    An interesting point is that Queen/Freddie Mercury never performed that "Poor Boy/Galileo" section live. Ever. The lights always went dark and the studio track was played. So there is no audio/video of Freddie doing it live, so we have no idea how it would actually sound. Just something to think about.

      To those saying "why cover it when it was already mastered" I will answer that it's because it's music. It's meant to be reperformed for new generations. Otherwise it dies away. I'm sure Beethoven's ninth was once performed perfectly, and even recorded, yet still it is justified to be performed.

    I think anyone who genuinely loves music can see this as the loving homage it was. Urie knows he's not Freddie, just like Lambert (who tours with and was chosen by Queen) knows and constantly acknowledges he's not Freddie. Freddie was just one of those magical vocalists. But Urie does an admirable job and still puts a bit of his own flavour on his choices. Great insights as always, Sam. Man, this is fast becoming one of my fave channels

    I think my favorite part of this cover is that this could be Brendon in his bedroom. He's just having a good time rocking out to one of his favorite artist. He kept the integrity of the piece and his personality is very apparent.
    There's a lot of talk how no one can live up to Freddie but I feel like the misunderstanding here would be thinking that Brendon is trying too. There was so much care and respect put into every piece of this cover that it doesn't sound like someone trying to upstage the original, this is someone having a good time spreading the gospel.

      Freddie was noted to have a 4 octave range. I think Brendon's range is higher, but not more expansive. Plus also note that Freddie's performance was so much more consistent than Brendon's if you compare all the live recordings. Mercury was pretty much the staple for the perfect male pop rock voice. Brendon's got some really cool style, but he can't wear that badge.
      Triggering aside, if you stick to the truth you'll do much better with comparisons.

      Mike Blanchard Not really fair to put Mike Patton on any list. That guy’s voice is just impossibly versatile.

    Just watching your enjoyment of this performance is a pure joy on its own. You're so passionate and I love watching you. Again, you are so professional about your explanations and it just made this so much better.

    I don’t know how I found your channel but I’m glad I did. Such a humble constructive man. You’ve given me an appreciation that singers have to work for it, it’s not all natural ability and luck.
