Queen and Freddie has been the soundtrack of my life. From listening to the LPs and cassets when I was a child and now playing Queen on the stereo to my two boys. Parenting is going well when the first english words spoken by my youngest (I`m norwegian) is "We will rock you" :)
Freddie has that “ I don’t give a crap what anyone thinks of me” attitude and it is so fantastic to watch. He was a born show man, and had the voice to match. I wonder sometimes what Queen would be like today if Freddie was still alive.
If you have 20 minutes or so to spare and want to truly appreciate the genius that was Freddie and Queen, watch their entire performance t the Live-Aid concert. One of the most intensely satisfying live performances I've seen. Supposedly David Bowie, watching from backstage, made the comment, "Now how am I supposed to follow THAT?"
Some imperfections are part of what makes one unique. When skill and doing things "right" are all that matters, then everyone starts to sound the same.
they all four were and are so gifted artist... from bass to drums... that unique guitar sound and at the and freddies voice... and of course they all were outstanding song writers... so at the end you got that... QUEEN.
Freddie's voice is ALWAYS the sound of the vocal in my head when I am writing a song! I think he is the BEST singer ever recorded by modern techniques in living-human history! He could sing low in the baritone range (maybe a bass note or two) all the way up into soprano and beyond while STILL having that "feel/power/mood" in his tone! NOBODY I know of compares!
Beth, you are becoming less and less a "vocal-coach" compared to becoming (more and more) a mega YT/social-media "personality"! IDK if you want it, but someday I bet you will be the host of a really cool show on one of the major networks. (I'd rather you just join an old-school punk rock band and try to glean fame that way... lol.) But, naw! Beth, you are destined for "big" fame! (Don't be like Alice! Don't lose your head!)
Lovely reaction~Thank you~!!I found Queen through the movie. His under-floor voice and his performances are overwhelming~!!! There are many good songs too. Freddie's voice was crazy..
The closet I got was being 7 years old in 1985 and watching his Live Aid performance on TV. That's was the first time I saw and heard of Queen and that's when I became a fan.
Your comment at the end nailed it. Saw Queen live twice and he absolutely owned a 15,000 seat arena both times. Terrific band playing behind him but he was the star of the show. Couldn't take your eyes off of him. Born to do that.
In addition to his authenticity, another big difference-maker for Freddie was the fact that with each performance, he was all-in; no reservations, no hesitation, no indecision. He was just fully committed, and that gives much of his stage performance that authenticity you write about, in a way that others would just look foolish trying to copy. I can't imagine being able to so fully master one's self-doubts.
@@cmoeller3 Oh wow.. you're right. He does have a very beautiful voice. I don't really know if he has the range that Freddie had though. I haven't listened to The Righteous Brothers a lot, unfortunately. I'll have to give them a listen. Appreciate the song suggestion! Truly a beautiful performance.
The stick mic stand gave him something to play with when he performed - he could use it as a baton, pretend it was a guitar, reach out to the crowd with it. It was like a magic wand
Great input….being a vocal coach I would love to hear your take on White Queen at Odeon Hammersmith, it’s one of Freddie’s most passionate vocals and the instrumental set is unbelievable.
Just love that he’s sitting there at the piano.. at which he’s a master.. in his ‘itty-bitty shorts’ and neck banana.. killing it! This was Freddie at his prime; so incredibly sad that I never had the pleasure of seeing them in person.. when Freddie walked amongst us! Thanks for a great reaction to this iconic song/performance!!
He had his mike like that because once in the early '70s, the mike stand broke apart & he continued with his performance with the mike on the part of the stand and that became his trademark. From that point on, he always performed with a partial mike stand and used it as a prop in his performances.
Roger Taylor doesn't get the respect/attention he should. A lot of those high notes are his and he does a great job of supporting Freddie. People often forget this is a four piece band each contributing quality songs and great musicianship. Not knocking the magnificence of Freddie, but there is more to Queen than just him.
So true about Freddie and the half mic. In many other reaction videos, the reactor says something like ‘why is that guy not wearing shoes?’ Or ‘why does Freddie have so many beverages on the piano?’ Or ‘why is the lead singer wearing that weird outfit?’ My answer is the same every time: ‘When you’re Freddie Mercury, whatever you do, it works. He is simply that good.’
@@JohnnyMegabyteCanada I’ve read that Freddie and his band mates were not pleased with how the videographers were handling things for the 2 nights of concerts in Montreal in ‘81. That company wanted the crowd to remain relatively calm and in their seats (not exactly how a typical Queen audience would act; I know cuz I was in some of them back in the day), and they wanted the band members to wear the same outfits each night and do the same movements on stage so they could splice the two nights together as needed for the final product. Queen didn’t like the idea of merging the two concerts together cuz they just wanted a film of each concert, as they happened, organically. As a form of protest, Freddie deliberately changed up his choreography each night. And he changed his outfits. And but just any change up-he decided to go back on stage in what he referred to as the most outrageous get up that he could come up with at the time, like going back out barefoot and bare-chested, and wearing white shorty shorts, a bandana neckerchief, and a Montreal Canadiens hat. Apparently the film company was not amused but they ended up with a final product that is still very popular to this day, 40+ years later!
@@jazzlefettie did you ever see the "WE WILL ROCK YOU" VHS version? Very raw edit from the same footage. Different concert start. And no audio editing, including a sloppy Brian May on Somebody To Love.
Some people you wish where still there to show us the way and be that little light in dark times! Still missed in so many ways and gone way to soon! Unforgettable anthem!!
He to me is the greatest rock singer of all time! The goat of singing!! Like mixing Pavarotti with Rock Music!! Emotion on steroids!! A master showman and unapologetic in his feelings and expression!!!
It would be a longer video and if you haven't reacted to it already, definitely need to react to Queen's performance at Live Aid in 1985. It generally considered to be one of if not the greatest live rock performance of all time.

I have to tell you Beth, that it's most entertaining,, watching you become engaged in different aspects of life. You always have a smile on your face and that says a lot about your character. You take everything head on and it's really a delight in watching you. I really think that you're a very sweet girl. Now, I want you to think about something. Getting in a shark cage when and if the great whites, stop to say hello. That's something that I would love to see.
They were always very good at getting a big sound out of a small band. John and Brian got the strings, brass and woodwinds out of instruments that were never designed for it.
Love Freddie with all my heart! He's one of my very top fav singers of all time. I was wondering if you could possibly react to one of my other top fav singers: Susanne Sundfør, and her live version of Undercover? *fingers crossed* I especially love her (and Freddies) vibrato By the way, you have a really lovely voice yourself 😊
I saw them on this tour for the Game album, and the following tour for the Hot Space album, at Madison Square Garden in 1980 and 1982, respectively. This is one of the songs they close the show off with. As you can see Freddie has stripped down to his tiny shorts, so we're near the end. Great shows 👌
I was fortunate enough to see Queen twice in Toledo Ohio, The first time was their first tour of the USA ,and believe it or not they went onstage before Mott The Hoople.!The next time they were in town, later in their career they headlined, I think it was after A Night At The Opera came out, needless to say a good time was had by all!!
I still miss this guy after all these years Queen and Led Zeppelin are two of my favorite bands of all time Freddie was such a great front man and you have to check out the concert at the bowl which in my opinion was the best
No one before, or after, matched Freddie Mercury as a front man. He owned this profession. "So many feels".... exactly. The man could incite so much emotion and "feels". He was the master. The only people that I can think of that held a crowd like him was James Brown and Little Richard.
Good evening Beth ......hope your good 🤗🤗......Well Queen 👑 , when you have Mr.Taylor & Mr Decon holding the groove & then Mr.May doing his stuff & just to put your senses in to the stratosphere sprinkle in Mr.Mercury twinkles on the Ivory & then he sings... normally at this point everyone just has a huge smile ......why ? Well True Greatness doesn't come along too often & when it does, it's only briefly 😢😢 So to sum up Mr. Mercury , only he could get away with a Wristband , a neckerchief & a Tiny pair of budgie smugglers 🤣😂.......so as always Beth a MAHOOSIVE ROAR from me.......take care 🤗🤗👍
you can be in love with many actors, or singers, but it's just something that's for a short time and it's over. Did you notice the comments, how many people said that Freddie is the love of my love, or my forever love? I never read anything that was said about other singers, actors, etc., etc. there is no way back, when he sang he didn't sing towards the audience but he drew everyone to him,we literally are melted each other,I dont know how he was doing it,and still do but he does
Hi my friend.. i have a little tipp for you to better understand wich was the real tecnique of Freddie Mercury in his sining. You should listen to some 'a capella' songs.. The better i think could be 'Hammer to fall', 'One vision' and 'A kind of magic'.. so, have a great life ;)
Hi Beth, I've recently known about your channel and I've completely fallen in love with it! I have an unusual reaction to suggest you, it's an Orthodox Christian singer called Divna Ljubojevic. A famous choir director called Lykourgos Angelopoulos described her as having one of the purest voices he has ever heard. I would love to see your reaction to her 😍 Congrats for your amazing channel and for yor beautiful personality ❤️
He's only wearing shorts, that cover less than my underwear does and a red bandana tied around his neck. Not many people could wear that on stage and not have that be the first thing everyone brings up. I only bring it up now as I have seen this performance a few times, and really just noticed how unusual that should be, this time watching. :)
I always thought his wardrobe choice was a bit odd for this performance. It isn't the type of thing to signal power. The song and his singing of it was everywhere and just perfectly went together.
Strangely, rumour has it that "power" was the reason for it. Queen (and Freddie in particular) were annoyed with the filmmakers (they'd subdued the crowd deliberately and "requested" the group wore the same costume on consecutive nights so they could cut between the two shows). Fred's clothes - or lack of them - were intended not only to spoil continuity but also to show the filmmakers who was boss.
Am i the only one who thinks that Floor is the female version of Freddie? Or maybe Freddie is the male version of Floor? I just find them both so amazing and similar
My favorite singer Freddie Mercury - Queen Robert plant - Led Zeppelin James Hetfield - Metallica Axl Rose - Guns n roses Kurt Cobain - Nirvana Bon Scott and Brian - AC/DC
I've actually always hated this song. It reminds me of my cousins who I don't really like, and their last name is Champion. And I just feel like it's overplayed. It's not a bad song, I just don't like it.
They'll never be another performer like Freddie. Absolutely the best to have ever done it.
He was a one-off.
Queen and Freddie has been the soundtrack of my life. From listening to the LPs and cassets when I was a child and now playing Queen on the stereo to my two boys. Parenting is going well when the first english words spoken by my youngest (I`m norwegian) is "We will rock you" :)

Freddie has that “ I don’t give a crap what anyone thinks of me” attitude and it is so fantastic to watch. He was a born show man, and had the voice to match. I wonder sometimes what Queen would be like today if Freddie was still alive.
Freddie was the headmaster of those who grew to love him and to sing along with him. Truly legendary was his voice and persona.

Amazing vocals from Roger Taylor in the background too.
He's a great singer too.
Queen doesn't get enough respect for how tight and superb their vocal harmonies are live.
@@craenor they are the benchmark for rock harmonies. very structured / layered.
Saw them at Wembley in the fall of 1984. No other concert can compare❤
I was privileged to see Queen live in Sydney during The Works tour back in 85.

He was just fully committed, and that gives much of his stage performance that authenticity you write about, in a way that others would just look foolish trying to copy.

Roger harmonizes well with Freddie. Brian fills the harmony, but softer.
I agree. Another video Rodger gets ignored. So underrated amazing singer.
I think she usually focuses on lead singer as they are the main voice.
These are the days of our lives is probably my favorite Queen song. Written by Roger Taylor.
He have my respects 7 days/week. Been to "the Cross" consert and 4 Queen conserts....one with Freddie in 1986 ❤

God broke the mold with Freddy, I'm honored to grace his works.
and he used that mold once again when he made Floor :)
I can tell this was towards the end of the set.. His voice was exhausted... Roger had to compliment him more than usual
I see Freddie I give like :D. I've listened to many genres but Freddie is always at the bottom of my hearth.
Can pretty much pick any song from Rock Montreal '81, they put on a particularly good performance those nights and the recordings were top quality

Dear, dear Freddie I miss you every day.
I’ve always thought that Freddie Mercury wielded that top portion of his mic stand like a sceptre, as a king or queen would do. Great trademark.
Just legendary things.
A 4-piece band that sounds like 40. Beautifully done Beth girl! Now do BoRap por favor!!
Hehe.. yep Freddie can do anything he wants. Wish I could have seen him perform live.
His voice, holy crap...
This song Queen tribute to their favourate football team, Liverpool.😊😊😊
It's fascinating how excited you get, it seems like you're in love.
That's what makes Beth's reactions so unique. True human reactions, from the heart. Not just technical stuff.

Some don't recognize that, as incredible as Freddy was as a vocalist, Roger Taylor and Brian May are also world class singers.
He's only wearing shorts, that cover less than my underwear does and a red bandana tied around his neck. Not many people could wear that on stage and not have that be the first thing everyone brings up. I only bring it up now as I have seen this performance a few times, and really just noticed how unusual that should be, this time watching. :)
Well said! Every good, useful, expressive vibrato (whatever the quality) comes from the depth of the singing. Everything else -- practiced monkeys.
I always thought his wardrobe choice was a bit odd for this performance. It isn't the type of thing to signal power.
The song and his singing of it was everywhere and just perfectly went together.
Strangely, rumour has it that "power" was the reason for it. Queen (and Freddie in particular) were annoyed with the filmmakers (they'd subdued the crowd deliberately and "requested" the group wore the same costume on consecutive nights so they could cut between the two shows). Fred's clothes - or lack of them - were intended not only to spoil continuity but also to show the filmmakers who was boss.
I am a 60th Child.....Thats coooool and normal for me
It's always odd to hear We Are the Champions with out We Will Rock you first. Queen always did good 1-2 song combos like that.
From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I ask : react DEEP PURPLE, with DAVID COVERDALE, MISTREATED ,CALIFORNIA JAM LIVE 1974
Check out Marc Martel if you haven't. He covers a lot of Queen. I don't want to spoil it for you in case you want to react to him.
Any Marty Robbins song
Am i the only one who thinks that Floor is the female version of Freddie? Or maybe Freddie is the male version of Floor? I just find them both so amazing and similar
When Beth is a fan-girl ,like most of us ;o)
Someone is handing Freddie the microphone so maybe that's why he has a microphone on a stick.
Freddie Mercury, according to himself, was a baritone.
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞👍👍👍
😎✌🏻
please react to Luther Vandross "A house is not a home ..."
Are you in the u.k. your fit
Personally I don't think the other three get enough credit considering all 4 members sang at some point not just freddy
pls react to the iranian song "rooz e sard" by Shadmehr Aghili
should I subscribe...? Tom Waits, is he here ?
Loved this reaction! I would love to see you react to no leaf clover from Metallica's S&M album!
Only Freddie could get away wearing those shorts...
How about Roger Taylor singing while playing the drums? In almost any other band, Roger would have been the lead singer.
My favorite singer
Freddie Mercury - Queen
Robert plant - Led Zeppelin
James Hetfield - Metallica
Axl Rose - Guns n roses
Kurt Cobain - Nirvana
Bon Scott and Brian - AC/DC
why are your headphones much higher on one side than the other? REALLY off-putting

Freddie né amigo
Don't think Freddie had a vocal coach...or did he? Dunno.
I've actually always hated this song. It reminds me of my cousins who I don't really like, and their last name is Champion. And I just feel like it's overplayed. It's not a bad song, I just don't like it.
The reason he has mic like that is it’s the 70s. We didn’t live our lives in pathetic little know it all boxes
