Freddie Mercury's Voice Evolution (1973 - 1991)

- This video depicts the evolution of Freddie Mercury's voice in Queen from 1973 to 1991, the year of his death.
In the video, all songs contain only the vocal part, to analyze it better and to enhance its differences between the years.
Freddie Mercury's voice is probably among the seven wonders in the world of rock. The singer had an extraordinary instrument at his disposal and he used it in an incredible way thanks to his experience with Queen. Mr. Bad Guy used a particular technique, that of subharmonics.
This vocal style is characteristic of some specific ethnic musical genres. From what emerged, it then appears that Freddie's vocal cords were moving with such rapidity that it was considerably higher than that normally recorded in humans.
Furthermore, most rock singers have a vocal habit of maintaining a constant vibrato, while Mercury's was not only more irregular but also unusually faster. All distinctive signs that have consecrated the voice of Freddie Mercury as absolutely unique and memorable.

Freddie Mercury is not die, he still alive, like Michael Jackson and more.

Rip Michael but Fred will always still be alive
@@clixqii9537 cause I don’t like him and Freddie is much better
@@clixqii9537 first of all fame is not everything. Second Freddie is as popular as MJ. Third at least he didn’t have all those controversies 😬. Sorry but I don’t like this dude at all. Freddie and queen are the best for me 👑🇬🇧
Freddie the Queen Mercury's voice was never change till end of his life.
Once roger taylor said that when he was filming these are the days of our lives he said that his voice got thinner. So he's voice did change a bit when he had aids.
Yes it change
@@noahthesarcastictd I think Freddie 's voice got higher and higher and cleaner since he stopped smoking and drinking. If Roger said so he was wrong
his voice definitely did change, especially in 80s when he started smoking & then had troubles with the nodes in his throat, then got thinner as he got sicker
@@leiabreen His nodule issues started occurring in the late 70's from over usage at back-to-back concert performances 'n NOT being classically trained.
Freddie Mercury was a musical genius.
He perfected her voice wonderfully.
He wrote wonderful music!
He was constantly perfecting himself and renewing his music.
He was a fantastic, beautiful man.
Freddie was much more than a rock star.
No one is like that!
He is a legend!
And No one will ever be😁😀😃😄 He was unique in everywa He was.
Hey what about Michael Jackson
@@chillbloc KING OF POP
Wait..did you just call freddie a woman?
“Perfected *her*”
The fact how he was almost dead and sang the show must go on, which is probably the hardest song he sang, and I can't even sing it is amazing!
6:18 even if he was very sick and had only a few months to live he still had a great voice ❤️
You can see how his voice has more control as the years go on. Also, depends on the song
Beautiful voice- amazing entertainer. RIP FREDDIE
In fact his voice becomes more and more "dark" over the years and with greater voice control. Just listen to a Live from 1974 and a Live from 1985: you will see that the voice is a little different.
@@danyfilmusic IDK whatcha mean by 'dark' but Freddie did have a greater range that he'd utilized more in his later yrs than his earlier ones. But make no mistake, Freddie sang some of the lowest notes ever from him in Bo-Rhap & All Dead All Dead. He'd also sang Slightly Mad mainly in a lower register.
On the flip side, Freddie's upper register tones were lighter earlier on but he'd hadn't yet mastered the falsettos/high full/chest voice with control (at least in studio) until the early '80's. His voice got stronger from The Game on but he'd of course had those pesky nodule flareups during back-to-back concert dates mainly during The Works tour. He'd had that one crack at the very end of their Live Aid set but that crack actually suited the complexion of the set (the way he'd bared his soul that day). Thankfully, The Magic tour didn't have the extended concert dates like most of their previous tours had. I think Knebworth was added on & I believe Bri said they had wanted to extend the tour, but Freddie said no more. Contrary to the reports that Freddie was officially diagnosed in '87, he actually had been tested in Spring of '86 as he'd knew deep down inside he was ill. He'd told Mary coming off the stage at the last concert that he wasn't well 'n that he didn't want to 'do this' anymore. My guess is that he'd told the band members this during the last show 'n it's likely why Deacy's seen throwing his bass at the end.
Freddie's vocals only got better 'n better once he'd gotten some very much needed rest, stopped smoking/drinking, & (I believe) received breathing/vocal techniques from Montsy (Montserrat Caballe). She once stated that Freddie had been 'selling the voice' and I can't help to wonder if she'd meant his singing technique he'd been using all of those yrs which were damaging to his vocal cords. Had she taught him proper technique? It makes total sense if she'd had 'cos his voice just got phenomenal from the Barcelona LP on...js.
Sorry, I meant that in the early years her voice was "clearer", but it was simply due to his young age. It is also normal that over the years the voice becomes dirtier and darker.
@@danyfilmusic 'K...gotcha!
@@Motown-1966 dont forget the smoking, the smoking definitely had an effect on the voice past 1980 its especially prevalent in 1984-1986
Even when he was ill he sounded amazing. No voice will ever be like Freddie's.
The most impressive thing is that by removing all the ornaments from the music you are left with a beautiful voice, its vocal notes are very very accurate, you could say perfect.
People say that perfection isn't a thing that you can achieve but freddie is the single one who could achieve perfection
@@danutdumitru3655 he’d beg to differ.
It seems to me that in the 80's he started to have a thicker voice. After he got sick, I think he stopped smoking and his voice started to sound like he was in the 70s (jazz album style). He sang the songs from the album The Miracle and Innuendo more smoothly.
The 80s voice is more grating on his voice, to me it sounds like he's singing way louder to make it come out with that 'manly' grate + smoking ontop of it. You can hear different his voice is once he stops smoking. On I Want It All, I believe he's doing the same technique used in Fat Bottomed Girls (though by this time his voice is still clear enough because he only just started smoking around this time) but it comes out clearer due to dropping the smoking.
He used more falsetto early on and later opted to go with more of a mix. This was probably because he had vocal nodules and would not have surgery. So he adjusted his style to work around that. His range became a bit more restricted, but his tone got beefier, and he sounded magnificent live even though he often sang differently than he did in the studio. He had laryngitis when he sang at Live Aid and still stole the show. He was always incredible.
I agree with you 😊
If you listen to any of his 90s recordings however, his vocal quality completely reverted back to his 70s style, with even more falsetto, and even more range too. All in all the 90s, in my opinion, was his best (and unfortunately, shortest) vocal period.
@@brianfosterkinsale4403 you're right! The fact that he stopped smoking in that period was significant to that change in his voice
@@enzoastrada8099 definitely. In fact, the exact year he stopped smoking coincided with the year of his vocal shift.
And when you couple Freddie's voice returning to his glam rock era AND having the benefit of experience with breathing, his 90's voice was unmatched! Would've loved to hear him sing the songs from Innuendo & Made in Heaven live! That last stage get up was ridiculously too large for him in his failing heath (& he knew it). He would've benefited returning to the smaller, more intimate venues had he'd lived.
his voice is so perfect, and like hypnotic. I’d listen him for hours and hours
unfortunately today's teenagers don't appreciate real music. Queens are gorgeous
Yes...
@@martinacuccurese9939 Well I'm a teenager and Queen are practically my life.
@@cdpunk_ we are two ;)
I am 12 and have thought the same as you do since I was 4.
You really hear how good he was when his voice is isolated, you can in the songs anyway but wow man, best singer to live in history in my opinion
Totally agree ! I jump when you say that he is the best singer on human history!
Freddie will never be gone. His voice will carry on beyond time xxx
Freddie saved the best for last. The Show Must Go On is his vocal masterpiece.
I love that his voice is so raw. It’s not always perfect but the passion is unbeatable. Adam Lambert has a trained voice and sings perfectly but the rawness is missing. I cannot and will never stop listening to him. Thanks for the isolation. It brings home all that I adore in Freddie’s voice. In the 70’s he sang using more falsetto. When he lost some of that he could hit higher notes from his chest. All and all it is breathtaking.
I get so much goosebumps when he takes the highest notes in ”the show must go on”. It’s unbelievable how powerful his voice was
Insane how in 20 years the only changes are him getting more experience and control over his voice
My GOD that gave me fucking chills. Without all the music, just his voice and that of the bands harmonies, fucking unreal how talented this man is. I never knew I needed this, this man does NOT need music or extra pizazz to sound absolutely mind blowing. RIP FREDDIE MAN.
Greatest singer of all time
Freddie is like that one introverted friend with a talent so good, none of your friends in the friend group could compare.
A wonderful, beautiful man with a voice like 50,000 angels singing at the gates of heaven.
His voice is unique, we miss you Freddie
Great video, well put together! He sounds amazing every single year.
Thank you Mackenzie 😊
Eyes perfection
This is fabulous! Freddie’s voice was so unique and a masterpiece all on its own. His range was incredible and his natural vibrato was amazing! I love listing to the A Capella versions. Fabulous!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
You're right 👍
Spot on!
Неважно на каком языке ты разговариваешь, важно какую музыку ты слушаешь
Genius voice. Falsett and very much nuances in his voice vrom opera to rock made him to one of the best singer in the world. There would be never someone like Freddie again.
Paraphrasing Simon Cowell, Freddie's voice in the 70s was more "theatrical". During the 80s it was harder. Astonishing voice at everytime, anyway.
Freddie don't die
Legends never die
1:05 Omg..So beautiful...
ㅇㅈ
О, Бог мой! Какая чистота интонации! Кристальная💕
I always separate 80s Freddie and 70s Freddie as two different voices for some reason
same
For me, mainly because he has maturing and smoking, this make his voice more “thicker”
yeah sounds different
80s Freddie sucks in my opinion, very few good songs.
@@madeline_from_celeste_real Body Language.
the last song the show must go on... if you look at Freddie's eye you can see how yellow it was. AAHHHH makes me so sad
Me too
What is "yellow"?
@@ste9856 like it’s yellow because he was sick with aids :(
wait what does a yellow eye mean?
@@lucybellamy5095 hes sick. Usually when people are dying from something very bad. AIDS for example
Божественный,идеальный голос!!!
Fabulous!!!!
Thanks 👍
Because of the pandemic whole world,Freddie singing inside his room alone without brian, roger and john.🎵🎤🎧,🤩😍🤭.
Ohh!! "The love of my life" is for freddie itself and mary!!......beautiful...😘😊
Uhh did u know he sadly passed away in 1991?
Actually, that song wasn't for Mary but for David Minns, the lover whom Freddie left Mary for...sorry. John Reid, Queen's former manager, has disclosed this information.
Is this comment a joke?
@@Motown-1966 Yeah, that's never been confirmed nor would it make sense in the context of the song.
It fits being written for Mary _perfectly._ The lyrics wouldn't make sense if you assumed it was written for Minns.
Their relationship began right around the time ANATO was released, yet the song is mainly about someone being hurt by their love and wanting them back, telling them no matter what in the end they will still love them even when they're old. Sounds like it fits Mary and Freddie perfectly, seeing as how he cheated on Mary in secret with Minns and he knew he was going to have to end the relationship romantically with her.
Point is, it was never confirmed by Freddie and I don't trust John Reids words at all. Jim Beach is the one that has said it was about Mary, and I trust him way more.
@@lessalazar9068 I see your point ‘bout the references ‘n how you’ve (& I believe Feebie aka Peter Freestone’s thoughts on the song maybe being written from Mary’s POV). Having said that, Freddie has been seeing other men on Mary for years ‘n he wouldn’t have left Mary if it weren’t for Minns’ ultimatum to Freddie once he’d spent that night at their flat. In his book: “This Was the Real Life,” he indicates that Freddie said nothing was goin’ on between he ‘n Mary but Minns noticed they share a bedroom together & assumed they were intimate. He’d threaten to end their relationship right then ‘n there if Freddie didn’t come clean with Mary ‘n leave her in order to be with him exclusively. They had stopped seeing each other but Freddie had became distraught & eventually did what Minns asked of him. Minns ‘n Freddie met during the recording of ANATO a entire month prior to the completion of the LP. Freddie could’ve easily written LOML with Minns in mind as well.
At any rate, Freddie never revealed anything ‘bout his songs is true. Millionaire Waltz is said to be written for John Reid but could’ve very easily have been dedicated to a lover as well. Certainly, Killer Queen was initially said to be ‘bout a prostitute but Eric (I can’t remember his sir name...sorry) of EMI claims the song was written ‘bout him as Freddie had a crush on him but he was str8, therefore, he was a Killer Queen.That he’d used to keep Moet in a cabinet in his office ‘n that he wore his hair in a curly perm like Marie Antoinette. So who really knows 😂!
Me gusta su voz en todas las épocas. FREDDIE FOREVER😙
Increíble todos los cambios que tuvo.
Si. Tuvo muchos pero sonaba igual de bien siempre.
Amo Queen de los 70's
Aún con sida canta como un Dios
This is a spectacular collection... Thank you for finding these gems. Freddie has a voice like no other. So distinctive and beautiful across so many genres. Plus a kind and generous soul. Truly one of a kind. I'm grateful his/Queen's music will live forever. 👑
He had a high voice in the 1970s then the 80s it got fuller and deeper.
It's said that he had extra 4 teeth that helped him to sing very nicely
he also had a natural technique using the false vocal cords to compliment his vocal cords
The Night Prowler subharmonic many rock singers use it for distortion
@@user-hy5jy7sf9j can point what part in vid he used subharmonic
Dallas Aquino idk the timestamp but in bohemian rhapsody when he sings "gotta leave you all behind and face the truth" it sounds like the "face" is sung with subharmonic
@@thenightprowler3426 Every good singer do dat
En algunas partes se escucha como 2 voces en la misma nota, mientras que en otras suenan hasta 3. Impresionante, es casi imposible llegarle a los talones.

Es increible
Freddie could do any genre he wanted and make it sound epic!
You can hear how he learned how to control the tone through the years.
Wow beautiful songs Amazing
The best period of his voice is 1973-1991 🎤🎤🎤
"Legends NEVER die"
Even without music all these masterpiece will still be a hit till today
Вот это вокал.. Просто супер, восхитительно..это Фредди..только Фредди..👏👍👌♥️
По мне самый лучший голос у него был в 1980-1982, слушать можно бесконечно
Thanks a million for bringing on only the voice tracks, one can hear every little nuance. First time ever I notice he keeps staying in the head or middle register, almost never going down to the chest positioning. Although he could do it flawlessly (“Exercises in Free Love” keep floating through my mind). Very interesting.
Gosh, I’ve been listening to his voice for freaking 25 years, and there are still new things to discover.
💕😊 Yes, always new things to discover❗
MARAVILLOSO,INCREÍBLE!!!Sin palabras.La mejor voz de todos los tiempos❤️
I really love the type of voice that he had in The Miracle, in songs like I Want It All, Scandal ,Invisible man or Breakthru we can appreciate a more mature and rough voice as a result of his state of health at that time
Уникальный голос, гениальный ФРЕДДИ МЕРКЬЮРИ!!!
Согласен
No hablamos taka taka
this voice... Is Kind a Magic
Freddie, ha sido, es y será, ahora y siempre, simplemente....... ¡EL MEJOR!
There will never be anyone like him. Every time I get excited to listen to him, I hope one day to meet him up there ❤️👑✨
Me too … hope to meet him … Sometimes I he has been to hell to get the real real music to us … but he is heavenly .. that should be where he comes from … where he truly belongs …
A winters tale really shows his vocals off.
When he sings
"its all so beautiful" i cant stop myself crying.. Every damn time😭
I kinda want to see 70s freddie singing the 80s and 90s song
It would be possible by voice synthesizer
Would be interesting to see 90s Freddie singing all of the other songs
Closest you'll get to that is listening to Marc Martel. Although, I kind of wonder if as Marc ages if his voice will sound more like Freddie since he does have a slightly lighter voice?
My ears and heart are full of happiness by freddie's beautiful voice....
His voice is so perfect and hypnotic that I can listen him every day ❤ I love u Freddie, god , I missssss youuuu😢
Maravilhoso! A voz de Freddie era perfeita e ainda é a melhor de todas pra mim até hoje. Eu amo.
Verdade
Né
It would have been a good example ''Don't try so hard'', really, his voice is so surprising in that song
Dear Freddie, I always thought that you sang like angels, and now, you are one of them
WE LOVE YOU

I just love this video. Thanks for posting this - I am sure it took a lot of work. I love the sound of his voice. It was consistently exceptional. If I was forced to choose the voice of the younger or older Freddie, while it would be difficult I guess I would go with the younger Freddie. I just love the tone and youth in his voice. Oh heck, I just love the "everything" in his voice, whatever age. Be at peace with our Lord, Freddie.

Just legend freddie
What a unique voice ...
he was the queen of rock.
The Best!
Always loved Queen from the moment I heard keep your self alive many years ago and I got to see them live at Knebworth Park August 1986. I think that was their last concert. I will never forget that magical performance, truly the most talented band on this earth. I just wish freddy was still here and Queen was still writing playing and singing their music.
God bless you Mr Mercury
Just lovely and beautiful. We miss you Freddie
Desde el principio hasta el final su voz fue una maravilla
