Paul did Freddie some justice with this song I must say. The fan's got to hear Freddie, and Paul never once stepped on Freddie but merely highlighted the talent most would never experience in their life time again! Love this version!
FINALLY, SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME!!! Sorry for the All-Caps but I have been saying this for years and no one seemed to agree with me. Queen fans don't even seem to care that Paul was man Freddie said he would love to stand-in for him. Freddie was a huge Paul Rodgers fan and said he had one of the most distinctive voices of all time. Freddie and Paul were friends. Most Queen fans do not know that.
A very Happy 72nd Birthday Paul Bernard Rodgers, December 17th 1949 Middlesbrough, Yorkshire also, a Canadian citizen. From Free to Bad Company to The Firm to The Law to Queen and of course your solo work.. Your a rock music Icon. Thank you for being born today..
When I met Paul, I asked him, 'how on earth did you ever think that you could take Freddie's place with Queen?' He said to me that he was singing Queen songs as Paul Rodgers and nothing more. He was a good friend of the band too and I know that Freddie admired his lower range!
Sounds like a rude thing to ask, everyone who has ever been the front man for queen since Freddie’s passing has solely been to celebrate his legacy, not take his place.
@@ryanschuch1832 Well, since he is classy guy and have been asked millions of times, he wasn't offended at all, unlike you! I spent over 2 hours with him and his wife and they were amazing and I got tons of info from them about Freddie and Queen!!!
Well, I found the way you asked that question quite rude as well. Freddie Mercury and Paul Rodgers were friends and I wish he would have stayed the front man for more than 5 years. He never intended to be Freddie Mercury and that's what is so special about this collaboration. Queen+Paul is SOOOOO much better than Queen+AL
@@chrismaplethorpe6781 The way Paul Rodgers did this is with complete respect and class. I know this is probably the way that Brian and Roger wanted it done but Paul could have sung the entire song and this is the way they went. Paul always said, his goal was to be Paul Rodgers with Queen, not to try to be the next Freddie or imitate Freddie
True and fun fact: Freddie and Paul were friends and Freddie was actually a fan of Pauls. he said many times that Paul had a voice that could not be duplicated, and that he would choose Paul to lead Queen when he died. So, the band honored his wish.
I couldn’t help but feel incredibly emotional with Freddie starting the song and then Paul Rodgers coming in, Freddie’s presence alone was extremely heart wrenching because his spirit is there but he physically isn’t. Powerful
I heard this in pandora without the music Video and it said Queen+Paul Rodgers and I heard this and I was like "wow paul Rodgers sounds exactly like freddie" But now I know the truth
Two legendary rock singers. It's getting as old as the LeBron vs Jordan arguement. Both Paul and Freddie were brilliant at what they did. Let's honor and celebrate both.
Besides Elton John, Freddy Mercury was one of thee biggest Gay Rock an Rollers that impacted more then just Music, and a generation.. The world was blessed by their music for all time and their influences run deep, and this world was better off having them for as long as the world did.
No one in the world said that! The only thing you've come close to being right about is that Freddie Mercury wanted 'the show to go on'.. and Paul Rodgers was his friend and his choice to be the front man. Brian and Roger spent years trying to get Paul Rodgers to lead.
@@theclawyaww3740 Thank you. I had a month long argument in the comments section of a Lambert video on RUclips. In which I pointed out Freddie was the better singer, I pointed out Paul Rodgers was someone Freddie was a fan of. I pointed out the scientific study that said Freddie had an unparalleled singing voice, he used sub harmonics, could play multiple instruments, wrote some of Queens most iconic songs, like Bohemian rhapsody, killer queen, Ogre Battle and many more. I got endless replies from Lambert fans saying I was deluded and Lambert is far better than BOTH Mercury and Rodgers. I said Lambert is a second place talent show reject, who cant play any instruments, has only wrote 12 songs in 15 years, has no studio album with Queen (even Rodgers has an album with Queen called cosmos) How can anyone prefer Lambert?
You obviously don't know that Paul was a legend before Freddy was around and he still is. Listen to Free,Bad Company and the Firm. !!! forgot to add that Paul was Freddie's favorite vocalist!
They had to lower the key they were playing in when Paul started to sing, because as good as his voice is he just doesn't have Freddie's range. Very few people do, although I think Adam Lambert does a pretty damned good job.

Fun fact: Freddie was a Paul Rodgers fan.
Then they did the right thing (To replace Freddie with Paul, Whether for a short time).
@DEVIL KING No, it's not. Freddie was a big fan of Paul as was Paul of Freddies. I had a long chat with Paul and his wife about this.
@S Rambo shut the fuck up a bit rambo
That explains his mustache
@@mercuryangel9223 y le pudiste hablar de mi a su esposa? de Paul

Honestly how I feel with him and Adam, they're both giving their own version but paying respect to Freddie
@@mrhashbrown8283 but adam sucks
he's not made to sing rock n roll songs
Two legendary rock singers. The respect that Paul shows for Freddie by simply stepping aside at the begining is very telling.
Paul Rodgers:oh my back
3:41
He even reaches for it hahahah
Or he's making an adjustment to his in ear monitors so he can hear himself in the mix
This man is straight spitting facts
😂
Paul Rodgers is the only person I could ever really imagine standing in for Freddie, with Queen, and doing him justice.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah right...Adam blows this guy away
I love Paul’s soulful voice. There’s a reason this man is a legend.
He's better than Adam Lambert.

3:37 OUCH
Lol...😂😂😂
THAT note surely died!
He can't reach that high of a note
@@VictorValcarcel died, but died in dignity ;-)
even freddie changes the note in live so shut the fuck up xd
Paul Rodgers best voice of all time
T Dog
lol
Freddie really was a one off. There will never ever be anyone like him. Paul Rodgers is just a legend he had nothing to prove of course.
we miss you freddie mercury 🙏
You can here the Bad Company in his voice...amazing!
Paul IS Bad Co. No disrespect to the band but listen to his prior band Free. His voice is so distinguishable.
And FREE's!
One of the most talented singers ever.
Two of the most talented and best rock singers ever

This made me cry. Love this song. Lovely tribute
Whenever i hear the late great freddie sing i end up in tears too.

@@chetlake3204 am pleased he did the vocals his own way. At the end of the day. Nobody will ever sound like freddie or should try to copy him.
@@chrismaplethorpe6781 I totally agree. I also feel the same about Paul. The way he ends this song is truly masterfully done
Brilliant and a big tribute from Paul Rodgers to Freddie....Classy!
So wished Queen had toured in Australia with Paul Rogers. I've attended concerts with Adam Lambert and Queen which were great, but Paul does it for me
Same... I was gutted they didn’t end up coming.
I wish they would have stayed together for more than the five years that they did. I would have traveled far-and-wide to see Paul with Queen
Geez where have I been? First time seeing this... I'm a HUGE Paul Rodgers, Bad Company, Queen fan. This was awesome!! 💙
This confirms there can only be one Freddie Mercury.
Also only 1 Paul rodgers
True and fun fact: Freddie and Paul were friends and Freddie was actually a fan of Pauls. he said many times that Paul had a voice that could not be duplicated, and that he would choose Paul to lead Queen when he died. So, the band honored his wish.
Paul is one-of-a-kind, just like Freddie
Paul is a fantastic singer, the best blues rock singer in the world for me but this will always be Freddies song and he treated it will respect
wow what a voice 👏👏👏👏
one of the best without a doubt
I cried... Miss u freddie darling
Paul rodgers tem minha admiração 👏
Paul is a legend! R.ip Freddie mercury!
They still play great together
This collaboration stopped in 2009
Paul Rodgers is the definition of rock vocals . .
from the US, we love you
Classy move by Paul Rodgers
I wonder if Brian and Roger felt sad hearing Freddie's voice without him being there
Money cancels feelings
@@dakotajensen181 No,,it's the art, they don't need the cash. I'm sure it was bittersweet.
@@dakotajensen181 yes for weak person like you.
I couldn’t help but feel incredibly emotional with Freddie starting the song and then Paul Rodgers coming in, Freddie’s presence alone was extremely heart wrenching because his spirit is there but he physically isn’t. Powerful
Absolutely amazing
FREDDIE MY DARLING 💔I MISS YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Queen and Paul Rodgers were awesome.
I heard this in pandora without the music Video and it said
Queen+Paul Rodgers and I heard this and I was like "wow paul Rodgers sounds exactly like freddie"
But now I know the truth
Exactly why I came here😐
they used the Wembley 7/12/86 audio
フレディだけじゃなくてジョンの映像も流すのがいい！
Queen the best band ever
Those drums sound so huge! This is the best song ever written. .
Damn what a voices.
Sehr schön
Amazing!
great
Freddie mercury una verdadera leyenda
Bela homenagem do grande Paul Rodgers ao magnifíco Freddie Mercury.
Tava vendo a live que ele fez na Ucrânia, já baixei 👏
Freddy mercurio el inmortal jamás habrá alguien con ese bosarron tan espectacular y esa puesta en escena tan espectacular.
Two legendary rock singers. It's getting as old as the LeBron vs Jordan arguement. Both Paul and Freddie were brilliant at what they did. Let's honor and celebrate both.
Hermoso homenaje!
BRIAN MAY , JOHN DEACON , ROGER TAYLOR , FREDDIE MERCURY , THANK YOU .
Freddie always stealing the show
Quite literally.
@@CNETech How literally? It's his damn song. Some logic please. Don't say stuff you without thinking. Don't SAY! DON'T!
@@Kor88Di huh? Yes, it's Freddie's song, but it's Paul Rodgers' concert.
@CNE Tech So how can he steal his own song? I told you not to say stuff like this, didn't I? HUH?
@@Kor88Di And who are you to judge how I talk?
your still the best my Freddie Mercury ❤❤❤
Perfect!💎🤣👍👍👍👍😊😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

This is how Brian May wanted Freddie to sing, like Paul, with a different vibrato.
2:31 John Deacon ❤
Paul Rodgers ótimo
Good job paul freddy would be proud
Thru the magic of video tape freddie mercury singing with brian roger and paul

Tenía ese dvd hasta que lo preste ya no volvió y está semana me acordé 🤣

no song will ever surpass Bohemian Rhapsody. Keith Moon and he Who are my arch angel, however Queen tels a story
still better than adam lambert
Nope, adam is better than paul, adam can sing in the note who freddie sing in this song
@@yaksudahhlah16 Yeah adam is a better singer, but I think Paul is a better fit for most other songs and I prefer his stage presence over adams
@@yaksudahhlah16 No
@@yaksudahhlah16 no
Sure better than A.L
Freddie Mercury melhor voz do mundo
O primeiro e único voz no universo!
Did Brian change his shirt???
Paul Rogers is Awesome but watching Freddie makes ya skin go cold, he's that awesome!!
Paul Rodgers hasn't aged, he just had a haircut (I do realise this is 17 years old now though).
2:53 UGH Deacon
4:37 I'M CRYING!!!!😢😢😢😢
Que vuelva paul rodgres
The end was good & of course the start not sure about the middle.
2:31 i missed John Deacon and his cute face 😭
Legends never die. We miss you Freddie. Paul isn't Freddie...
Lady Games he isn’t trying to be Freddie
He was never trying to be Freddie
Neither Freddie is Paul. Why compare the incomparable ? Just enjoy both legends
Paul sing like bon scott
i like bon scott
No
He's way better. Listen to his previous stuff.
Pretty good…..
Freddie Mercury es irremplazable el es el dios del rock
omg 1:38 I am dying >:(

Paul still had a amazing voice at his age! I prefer Paul over Adam Lambert
Que bien que sonaba vryan mayor
"vryan mayor"?
Creo que significa Brian May 😂
Pinche Michael Jackson loco jsjsjs
Jajaja si le entendi
Not sure, I will give it another listen
Did Mercury justice
I'm crying
ポ～ル…懐かしい…なあ＼(・o・)／ワア!…✨🎵🎶✴🎵🎶‼️
Paul is better then Adam doing Queen!!
Un pulmotor para rodgers...
I think Paul Rodgers just had an itch 3:41
Paul Rodger is lot better than little punk Adam Lambert
3:37 ouchh
-VOX-
Amplificators
Jajaja nose por que dicen que Iguala la voz de Fredy Mercury .... Cuando este hombre es muy diferente nadie igualar la voz.... Del señor Fredy Mercury
No one in the world said that!
The only thing you've come close to being right about is that Freddie Mercury wanted 'the show to go on'.. and Paul Rodgers was his friend and his choice to be the front man. Brian and Roger spent years trying to get Paul Rodgers to lead.
I think that is not the right song for Paul. I think slower softer songs are better for him. Great singer and great voice tho'!
I prefer this to Lambert.
No fucking shit Rodgers is one of the best singers ever he was Freddy's favorite. Lambert is horrible generic

No one can replace Freddie Mercury

Que chingados va hacer igual que fredie mercuri
What would Simon from American Idol think about that? I hear you
Marc martel tiene la vos más parecida a Freddy Mercury en mí opinión
