      I'd like to stress that autotune =/= bad.
      Prime example being Nikes by Frank Ocean. Look up the version without autotune. He has hell of a voice.
      Another example being Mississippi by Kevin Abstract. He's not even singing on the track. It's simply there for the sound. It goes perfectly with the instrumental.

      Joshuca I love your point, while I do hate autotune, I just feel like only some people need it. One artist Charlie Puth has perfect pitch so he won’t have to use autotune.

When the operatic section comes is when the hero enter the special world where he discover new things and challenges. The rock section is the climax. And finally the outro, it's when the hero returns to the normal world but now completely changed. Freddie was a freaking genius!

      Nina Definitely. He did have A couple vocal blunders, but it’s not like he was putting everything he had into that at the moment. I heard their free-concerts in Hyde Park, and I couldn’t believe how beautiful his voice was back then and it’s been so long I had forgotten. With age, Freddie Mercury had a little bit of a growl to his voice at times and his vocals became much stronger and more powerful! Freddie Mercury is by far the best male front man and band vocalist of all time. I was looking at a top 10 on RUclips and they had Freddie Mercury listed as number two and Robert Plant listed as number one. I disagree and I think it’s the other way around. Robert Plant was good looking to those women and he did have a good voice, but even his voice was not Close to perfect like Freddie Mercury’s. As a front man, Freddie Mercury had it all and then some. In the 1970s earlier on, people didn’t know what to think of his kind of performing but then towards the late 70s & 1980s people loved it! The performances became huge with their “news of the world” album.

    I closed my eyes and imagined a scene of them all, standing in front of Freddie and his piano as he plays to them, reacting to what they're hearing. John, standing there with his hands on his hips, gives a little smirk. With his hands in his pockets, Roger looks at Brian and smiles showing his teeth. Brian looks at Roger then looks back at Freddie and chuckles under his breath with one hand under his elbow and his other hand on his chin, thinking. All 3 of them look at each other smiling, watching their best friend play in front of them. Freddie finishes and asks "well, what do you think?". Brian, in his innocent British accent, says "yeah it's good". Freddie replies "good darling? I think it's a bloody masterpiece". Roger, in his rough high pitched voice "I like it Fred". And John, in his soft voice, "I think it's perfect". Freddie, in his excitement gives a big smile to the other 3, showing his teeth. They all chuckle amongst themselves, thinking of the potential it has and what is yet to come.

      @@thomasmedina6167 There’s recordings out there of all of them directly into soundboards. Acapella is meaningless because without a band playing next to them they can essentially whisper. Singing over instruments is much different given the breath control and strength of diaphragm that one has to have to cut through sound, in pitch, with no pitch correct help. All the singers I mentioned from today would sing out of pitch and lose their voices if they ever attempted to do what Mercury used to do. He didn’t need compression help on his mic nor pitch correct. His voice naturally had what he needed to perform at such a high level.

    Now that I'm hearing this at this level, I can see how Roger's high vocal range played on this song and in fact on other Queen songs as well. I've always thought it was Freddie doing all or at least most of the high end vocal work but now we know it was Roger doing all the high end vocal parts this whole time with Freddie flying under the radar unnoticed. That is just freakin' awesome. So this wasn't just a Freddie thing but a major group effort from all the participants.

    Those opening bars at 1:57 are the ones Dr. May was discussing on IG with fans a couple of months ago. This was how Freddie intended the beginning to go, but it's been "corrupted" (that's too strong a word, but anyway) -- it's EVOLVED a little over time in our ears to what we "hear" today. What I mean by that is the available sheet music simply does not follow what we hear in this version. In short, Freddie "starts on 1" here but that's not the way most of us "hear it" today nor how today's sheet music scores (for piano) present it to us. Sorry for the intense detail. This early version just corroborates the conversation in a way I hadn't heard it before. Way to go, BM! (Thanks!)

There will never be anybody that could ever sing the way he did. They can’t come close, but they wouldn’t be able to put the feeling Freddie had. Or the spirit either. Its so sad that the world lost him at such a young age, and that he had so much more to give to us all.
