    Freddie Mercury had no professional voice training when it came to his singing ability, he was a natural with what he could do. He had a 4 octave range and did it with such grace and skill that it still amazes people today. Freedie will always be remembered as an Icon, a Legend, and a Trailblazer within multiple genres of music. RIP Freedie we all miss you, you music lives on as more and more discover, or those of us older ones re- discover your music.

    1. As others have pointed out, Freddie had some funky teeth. He had too many of them AND they were ginormous. There are photos of him as a child, and bless his heart, they were unsettlingly large. He was absolutely convinced that his big, extra teeth were what made it possible for him to have a four-octave range. It's entirely possible he couldn't make his mouth conform to the shapes you described for the closed vowel sounds without considerable trouble and without distorting his voice.
    2. The version you reacted to was done in concert. It's highly stylized compared to the official video and the album version.
    3. As for Freddie's movements . . . One of his good friends and business associates called Freddie a peacock because he liked to strut. Freddie called himself a Persian poppinjay because he LOVED to strut. He was an unabashed showoff, and he knew how to work the crowd (see how he turned his microphone into a phallic symbol).
    4. If you really want a treat, find a copy of Queen's 1986 concert at Wembley Stadium (the year after Live Aid). There's an improvisational section where Freddie shows the range of his voice rather nicely.
    5. Yes, I know this is too long. I'm in a mood.
    6. Yes, Roger had a fantastic singing voice. His falsetto was even higher than Freddie's. See "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the "Galileo" bits and bobs. That was Roger. He was a marvelous drummer who poured everything into his performances (see the end of that Wembley Stadium concert where he has to be helped off the stage).
    7. Freddie wasn't the best singer in the world. We can always find missed notes here and there. He was, however, the best front man ever to grace a stage.

    I am one of the ones fortunate enough to have seen and heard Queen and Freddie Mercury live (Edinburgh in 80s) at the height of their popularity and can confirm that Freddie didn't just use the piano or his own body as his grounding, but he used the whole stage, his whole person. He brought everything to his performance and owned the stage/auditorium and communicated to each person. He was an absolute pleasure to watch and to listen to. Beautiful. There will never be another one like him. (the other members of Queen of course - great, I love their compositions! but Freddie as the frontman IMHO was everything) - joyful to watch...and thank you Linor for bringing that over in your observations too, you felt it.

    Freddie was checked by several music colleges and they agreed he was a 4 octave singer and even a scientist listened and realized that he could use both sets of vocal chords where most people don’t even know there are two sets. He sings different live than on his albums because he said what would be the point to touring and not changing the sound sometimes. He sang and wrote the Opera Barcelona with Monsserrete Cabella Spains diva in 1988. He sang songs until about 2 to 3 months before he died. He also had 4 extra incisors that he wouldn’t get removed. I think all his awards and music speaks for itself. He has proven his self a legend. England named him as one of the top 100 people that did things to honor them. Thanks for your opinion.

      By God, the absolute truth. There's good singers, there are great singers - and then there is Freddie Mercury.
      When the opera singer's going ; "Oh, that's good.." - you know JUST how good Freddie is...

    Considering he was a self taught singer and smoked a lot it's incredible the huge range he could reach. A true unique talent.

    It's so much fun watching you do these analysis especially analyzing someone like Freddy who wasn't classically trained and relies on emotion while you come from a classical background you seem to still appreciate his art and the way he presents it good stuff

    True born performer! Truly heartbreaking that he isnt around anymore. God only knows what other contributions to music he would have made.
    Sleep tight Freddie x

    Freddie Mercury is/was one of the best vocalists we are ever liable to witness.

    Freddie was a pure showman, the whole nine yards what a performer and beautifully complimented by all his band members. Such a joy to listen to.
