Freddie Mercury was a natural baritone but had a four octave voice. His vibrato was the fastest ever known and he used the ventricular folds in his throat to sing sub harmonics. See the university study led by Christian Hebst. Born to sing and play piano as he had a natural ear and perfect pitch. He was doing a voice warm up with the crowd which we lived doing with him as it amped us up!
Freddie had a flu during this event. Check out Freddie's solo Exercises in free love. It was his impersonation of Montserrat"s vocal style. BTW Vanilla Ice stole the base riff.
Freddie friends say he is the most humble , kind, generous, and loyal to his friends, and if there’s anything he can do for anyone he knows needs something. Wrote the song soul brother for brian when he was having a bad time. He is so funny and silly sometimes. Freddie was born in Zanzibar,of the east coast of Africa,now Tanzania. You must look at the videos history o queen. Also history of each member of the band. Also love of my life was written for his girlfriend , Mary Austin. She was the love that couldn’t be replaced by anyone he left everything to her, especially his home. The where true loves and she was even at his side when died. He wanted Mary to bury his ashes , and didn’t want anyone to know but her. So much about him is interesting.
These vocals from Freddie was also his way of exercising his vocals before singing this certain song, it’s warming up his vocals, I attended this concert absolutely amazing!
That yellow jacket Freddie image has been etched in rock history forever!! 💛 Btw, yellow is Freddie’s favorite color!! Someone who had been at this concert said it was electrifying when that famous baseline began!! 👏👏 Missed you guys … thank you!
It's nice to see you again. As I've read Roger has the same 4 octaves voice as Freddie had, but their vocal type is different. Freddie was not having a battle with the crowd, but flirting with them. 😉 This song was written with David Bowie together. He visited the band in Montreux at the studio session, they started jamming and John Deacon came with the famous riff out. They went for having dinner then returned to the studio, but John completely forgot that riff and Roger was who exactly remembered on.
In concert, Freddie might not go as high as on the recording. If you count each song in the medley separately, the setlist has 28 different songs on it - and he's singing lead in most. To get a good idea of his range, "Impromptu" at this concert is all his vocalizations. I have heard that Roger and Freddie have the same top range (they can both hit the same notes), but they sound differently because of the tone and heft of their voices. Whether that's true or not - I don't know. Glad to see Queen come up on your channel again.
It amazes me how many people question whether Freddie was able to sing the higher notes just because he doesn’t sing every high-pitched note in every song during their 2-hour long concerts where Freddie is singing about 99% of the time. If you just try to sing full-out for an hour; take a 15 minute break; and then sing full-out again for another hour, you might get a little idea of why Freddie needed to carefully protect his vocals during concerts by having Roger take some of the higher parts. After all, Queen often had another concert the next day during which Freddie miraculously did it all again, wowing every single person in earshot. In addition to listening to Impromptu, which shows how Freddie can sing crazy high notes during live concerts, you can also check out Rockin’ In Rio, which similarly shows Freddie’s insane range even at a live show.
Queen are an amazing band & in my opinion, the best band ever! All 4 are amazingly talented & smart! Roger Taylor, the drummer has a degree in biology, the bassist John Deacon a degree in electronics, Freddie had a diploma/degree in Design & lead guitarist Dr Brian May has a degree in Astrophysics & has worked with NASA on projects! Brian & his father built his guitar out of objects around the house as they couldn’t afford to buy one! This guitar which he called “The red special” is the one he uses to this day! Keep up the great Queen reactions, kind regards from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Welcome back to the Queen rabbit hole! Freddie's call and response was a regular part of Queen shows. That's one of the things Freddie is well known for. Queen audiences will do whatever Freddie asks them to do. They instinctively know what their role is. They know when they are supposed to repeat what Freddie says and when they are supposed to sing a portion of a song. The band liked the audience to feel like they were part of the show and they developed a very unique relationship over the years that continues still to this day. Thanks for the reaction!
Freddie is so unike all of Queens memmbers is talented men. Brian May have home made guitar and he also have a beautiful voice. My greatings from norway Queen forever 🇸🇯🌹❤️
Thanks for doing this reaction. Under Pressure has always been one of my all-time favorite Queen songs (and David Bowie songs.) And looking forward to your Barcelona reaction. Hope you will do other songs on the Barcelona album, too! Definitely worth it!
In the 80's Freddie suffered from nodules on his vocal chords so there were times in live concerts, depending how he was feeling, that he went lower and the live versions of songs adapted to how Freddie's vocals were at the time and Roger often sang the high notes when Freddie couldn't, they complimented each other. Freddie didn't really do himself any favours in many of the songs he wrote especially the songs in the early years of Queen which required higher tones, as he got older his voice obviously changed and also the number of concerts, world tours and Freddie started smoking heavily all took their toll.
indeed, this is true. but in chest voice I believe roger's voice was naturally higher. i'm not sure why it makes a difference "how high someone's voice can go," but apparently on youtube that is a major criterion of greatness and something worth arguing about :-).
Fun reaction. Roger could go very high, or as Freddie called it “dog whistle” territory. He was also a excellent partner during live shows. Freddie always played with the crowd like this. And his little da da daos are actually in the song. Good for you two for not living as if their iPhone is an appendage. It’s terrible. (I can be guilty too 😒)
Freddie Mercury claimed that the only guitar chords he could play were from Crazy Little Thing Called love. I think i remember hearing that the song started from Freddie playing around on a guitar and learning just the one song on guitar.
HI GUYS, HERE ARE LINKS TO BOTH OF THE "IMPROVS" THAT SOME FOLKS HAVE MENTIONED, WHICH FREDDIE PERFORMED DURING THE WEMBLEY CONCERTS (because there are actually TWO consecutive Wembley Stadium concerts: Friday July 11 and Saturday July 12).... FRIDAY, JULY 11: ruclips.net/video/WWNJM3NI6-o/видео.html SATURDAY, JULY 12: ruclips.net/video/8MOY9cf5wa4/видео.html
People assume Roger could go much higher but it wasn't much if any. But he had a very different tone? So was often used instead of Freddie. Tours went of for months and mostly without much brake . 2hr concerts Freddie chose not to sing all the songs the same only to protect his voice. Roger was supposed to do harmonies and in this he's doing Bowie part But if Freddie was gaving vocal issue then Roger would step up to let Freddie regain himself
Yes Brian May made his guitar The Red Special with his Dad when he was a teenager as they couldn’t afford to buy one he still plays it today x John Deacon is the bass player x
The radio version is sung by Queen and David Bowie they wrote the song together. He just didn't tour with them to sing it. There is a video version but they aren't together it is two videos merged together Queen and David Bowie of Under Pressure.
Freddie can go very high, but he did in the studio, because if he did it on a 3 month tour he would blow out his voice. Listen to exercise in free love, Freddie is all falsetto.
Yes in live performances Roger does go higher, although Freddie could reach counter tenor range equal to a female soprano, for something different you can react to Freddie singing in the counter tenor range in a solo recording called Exercises in Free Love. I think you will be shocked at how high Freddie goes while singing these operatic style vocal exercises.
If you watch the official video of this song you can hear Freddie's voice go up. He sings with David Bowie. Btw vanilla ice stole the riff from queen and got sued
well tha time wuz 1986 his health unknown to ppl wuz declinin slowly he had HIV awready which developed into AIDS by 1987 also Roger didnt have to worry bout singin like Freddie did cuz he mostly provided background vocals which saved his voice
The call and response or crowd battle as you called it was a regular thing in Queens Live performances. This video is from 1986 when Freddie was noticing the affects of AIDS but before it was diagnosed, if you check out 70's and early 80's Freddie he could go a lot higher, but Roger could do it with relative ease, so he got given the highest notes to sing. Vanilla Ice should have listened to "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)" before stealing the base line from this song, to fully understand how Queen feel about being ripped off. Brian May's guitar (The Red Special) is indeed home made (with help from his father), because as a teenager he couldn't afford to buy one, it is still his first-choice guitar, and sounds just as unique now as it ever did.
You didnt take him seriously did you? Yes Freddie can go way higher than that and has done many times, and eventhough he did like rodger doing some high notes, he was well capable of doing it himself, and theres plenty examples out there to prove it if you look.
they had to pay a lot of m money because of copying the riff- Actually it was Johns riff - and he forgot it when they went for pizzas but someone else remembered. David Bowie just popped by and suggested that they made a song..They never performed it together but David Bowie performed it with Annie Lennox and Queen at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert in 1992.JOHN DEACON!!!! - - Theiy were geniuses. Montserra Caballè - ! John Deacon - called "deacy".This is just one of the best Queen songs - - what is wrong with you??

Freddie can do so meany things. He also was very talented in art.
Freddie had a flu during this event. Check out Freddie's solo Exercises in free love. It was his impersonation of Montserrat"s vocal style.
BTW Vanilla Ice stole the base riff.
First time he said will you play with me? It makes the audience feel they are part of the performance.

Welcome back…good to hear your input again.
John deacon is his name, you should watch Liar at the Rainbow, his bas is outstanding & he sings with Freddie too.
Thank you for bringing Queen back here

This is the times when people loved to sing and dance and enjoy them selves.
As you say guys on tec back then.
React to Impromptu trust me you'll hear how high Freddie could go!!
Beautiful song! RIP Freddie 🙏

I would love to see you check out his Impromptu performance live from Wembley!
Vanilla Ice got sued by Queen because he took this riff without permission, and tried to pass it off as his own.
If they are singing together Roger go higher, but Freddie alone in some songs is able to go realy high too
Studio version of this song will prove how high can Freddy go.
YESSSS AMAZING!
indeed, this is true. but in chest voice I believe roger's voice was naturally higher. i'm not sure why it makes a difference "how high someone's voice can go," but apparently on youtube that is a major criterion of greatness and something worth arguing about :-).
@@aerynoftalyn1307 I understood that Roger's voice is the highest voice recorded in Bohemian R. So u must be right. Freddy said only dogs can Roger 😉
Great reaction, check out Rock in Rio Blues, Freddy goes quite high in that one
I was there, it was a call and return. Freddie loved that.
Also yeah Freddie could go hi (Roger did it more often) but in concert he did not want to shred his voice.
Fun reaction. Roger could go very high, or as Freddie called it “dog whistle” territory. He was also a excellent partner during live shows.
Freddie always played with the crowd like this. And his little da da daos are actually in the song.

React to "Exercises in free love " by Freddie mercury. It's him singing opera.
Freddie always played the crowd.
People assume Roger could go much higher but it wasn't much if any.
But he had a very different tone?
So was often used instead of Freddie.
Tours went of for months and mostly without much brake .
2hr concerts Freddie chose not to sing all the songs the same only to protect his voice.
Roger was supposed to do harmonies and in this he's doing Bowie part
But if Freddie was gaving vocal issue then Roger would step up to let Freddie regain himself
Good ol’ Roger!!
Yes Brian May made his guitar The Red Special with his Dad when he was a teenager as they couldn’t afford to buy one he still plays it today x John Deacon is the bass player x
Yes! Brian also released a limited number of replicas of his famous "Red special" guitars for sale!
What Freddie does at the start is a Call and Response.
The radio version is sung by Queen and David Bowie they wrote the song together. He just didn't tour with them to sing it. There is a video version but they aren't together it is two videos merged together Queen and David Bowie of Under Pressure.
To recommend seeing Freddie go high react to LIAR to see Roger Taylor go high react to MY FAIRY KING. You can decide for yourself who can go higher.
YESSSS - Two of my favs!
Crowd participation (call & return)
He is also a designer and artist. There is almost nothing he can't do in answer to your question
Listen to Freddie Exercises in free love….🇬🇧🌻🇬🇧
Freddie can go very high, but he did in the studio, because if he did it on a 3 month tour he would blow out his voice. Listen to exercise in free love, Freddie is all falsetto.
Yes, Vanilla Ice copied Queen with “Ice, Ice Baby.” And they got sued and had to pay Queen and stop using it.
Yes in live performances Roger does go higher, although Freddie could reach counter tenor range equal to a female soprano, for something different you can react to Freddie singing in the counter tenor range in a solo recording called Exercises in Free Love. I think you will be shocked at how high Freddie goes while singing these operatic style vocal exercises.

well tha time wuz 1986 his health unknown to ppl wuz declinin slowly he had HIV awready which developed into AIDS by 1987 also Roger didnt have to worry bout singin like Freddie did cuz he mostly provided background vocals which saved his voice
All very true!

It's called : call.and reponse
React to Live Aid Queen
Maybe you can react to Get out alive By Three days grace! It was my favorite song as a kid and it started is now! :3
You didnt take him seriously did you? Yes Freddie can go way higher than that and has done many times, and eventhough he did like rodger doing some high notes, he was well capable of doing it himself, and theres plenty examples out there to prove it if you look.
Don't worry, with all the Queen reactions we did since this one, i did learn how insane Freddie's voice is
John Decon one base
Don’t say his name …. 😡
Under Pressure released in 1981
Ice Ice Baby released in 1990
"Don't say his name!" ...RIGHT ON, Honey!
they had to pay a lot of m money because of copying the riff- Actually it was Johns riff - and he forgot it when they went for pizzas but someone else remembered.

Montserra Caballè - ! John Deacon - called "deacy".This is just one of the best Queen songs - - what is wrong with you??
Not to be critical but you seem to talk for too long during reaction
I love Roger but is true are you compare Freddie's voice with Roger? Really????? I don't want to say anymore...
Stop talking
Watch "Lap of the Gods" live at the Rainbow Room to hear how high Roger can go.
