It's a very good question. You need people with the quality of singing voice, the song writers, musicians, and the desire within both the music industry and the public for pop/rock/opera fusion to exist. Night of the Proms does it to a large extent, and bless the organisers, artists, and broadcasters who've been responsible for that, but at the end of the day, singers like Freddie and Montserrat, along with Pavarotti, are a once in every 3 or 4 generation occurrence. If you don't have the quality singers, you just can't do it.
Where did it go?......Alas, we had them here with us in this time in which we live....a blink of an eye.... They're Gone. And one day, we also shall be..... How do we get it back??! Will there ever be another Freddie Mercury?! The Genius~The Legend~The composer who wrote BARCELONA at the request and inspiration of the Diva-Legend~ Montserrat Caballè...... Can we recapture what once, GLORIOUSLY Was?!?....... No more than we could capture and harness the wind......💖👑💃👨
Tiina Berg I’m sorry. It just still hurts after all these years. That’s how it is for Bowie too. When I love an artist who changed and formed who I am,it’s almost like losing part of yourself....BUT on the. Luminous side, it shines forever! 💫⭐️
Your reaction and facial expressions during this amazing video are truly PRICELESS! There will NEVER be another Freddie, I am so happy for you that you have discovered him and Queen! If this song and performance doesn’t move you, you have no soul! Freddie and Montsy together again..how much sweeter does Heaven sound with the two of them together again❤️
"Where did music like this go? And how do we get it back?" Perfectly said. Exactly. Man, I am a fan of yours. You really get it. You inspire me to really listen to the music, and feel it in my soul. Your joy is infectious. I am on that journey with you, reliving all these great songs. Your song choices are great. You're spot on about how there is something missng in the music world today. There are many reasons why, and I hope we can learn, and appreciate, and find a way back to making music with depth and richness like we hear in this beautiful song. This song gives me goosebumps and I can feel it all the way down to my toes. Love it.
Oh yes, bruv, you got to this. This was the first of its kind. Maybe it won’t happen again. World class opera singer, and the rock singer who could not only keep up but lead. Freddie loved Montserrat and it was reciprocated. Unique people and a unique song.
A little background: This was supposed to be the song for Barcelona's olympic games in 1992, but Freddie sadly died in 1991 and they couldn't sing it. The song's lyrics describe the first time Freddie met Montserrat (or Montsy, as he called her). She passed away just a few days ago. I'm not an expert in opera, but Freddie said she had the best voice he ever heard. They were very fond of each other :)
All true. Freddie's favorite singer was Aretha Franklin but he thought Montserrat had the most beautiful voice he had ever heard. They developed a mutual admiration society for each other. I always wonder if Freddie hadn't died so young, what else could he have done? Freddie Mercury, a legend. Never forgotten and always missed.
You are so sweet and sensitive. Freddy is indeed the greatest performer of all times. He is the Voice, period. His voice could reach 4 octaves and could sing anything he wanted but preferred to stick on rock. Thank you for getting addicted. Love from Portugal.
Monetary Caballe was an amazing singer and an inspiration to Freddy. Such an amazing pairing! And she is finally with him again! RIP Madame Caballe! Love your reviews, Joey!
The whole Barcelona album together with Montserrat Caballe is maybe the project that was the most important to Freddie ever. He just loved and adored her, they had a very close personal realtionship and stayed friends right until the end. Now they both arent with us anymore but they left this legandry song forever.
I simply loved the emotion shown on your face... beautiful!! And this song really can cause emotions you didn't really expect. Freddie and Monsty we performing as if no one was watching. Full energy coming from them. Admiration for each other showing all over thier faces...
This is like tasting a fine wine after drinking cheap booze all your life. You suddenly discover flavor you have never experienced. ( I have been lucky , I grew up listening to Queen , and Freddy )
I love Freddie Mercury and Queen and never get tired of listening to their incredible, music. Thank you for the opportunity to see it through fresh eyes once again. I so love your appreciation of and comments about their talent and divinely inspired body of work.
I am still loving watching your reaction to Barcelona. I've been listening to it for decades (yes decades) and still get blown away every time. I also love the fact that Freddie wrote this for Monserrat Caballe. He wrote a whole opera album called, wait for it.... Barcelona. They sang all the songs. Sigh.
He could sing opera yet never formally trained - simply a natural, an artist, a genius, a talent NEVER to exist again & sadly missed................ RIP, beautiful - to both, as she too sadly passed semi recently......... :-(
"Where did music like this go and how do we get it back ?" So so true. Over the past half century it seems that the pure beauty of the human voice has been shelved in favor of beats and meaningless lyrics that appeal to our baser instincts rather than to our higher selves. Continue your adventure, because in answer to your question "How do we get it back?", I say; with guys just like you man!
Were those tears I saw in your eyes? Or is somebody close by chopping onions? 😂 Don't worry. You're not the only one. 😉 Freddie went extra on everything. He knew his time was very limited and he tried to do every single thing and accomplish every single goal he ever had. Working with Montserrat was one of those dreams. He LOVED her. He went all fan girl on her when they first met though!😂 Its sad because she just recently passed on and I saw an interview with her and how she still mourns her friend freddie mercury's from when he died till present day. The pain of that loss never lessened. She said she just got use to it. 😍
This was (and still is) one of my favorite periods in Freddie Mercury's career. A beautiful, musical gem gone too soon. God willing, I hope that Freddie and Montsi are still singing together in Heaven's eternal choir. Thank you for your review.
Gran reacción, es una bellísima canción, cuando yo la oí por primera vez no daba crédito a lo que oía y veía: son unas voces e interpretaciones perfectas. Lamentablemente, la hermosa soprano Montserrat Caballe, a quien vemos aquí, ha fallecido hace pocos días, de seguro está en el cielo con sus seres queridos, sus amigos de la ópera y su muy amado Freddie Mercury.
I had to use google translate which can be sketchy but here is a translation "Great reaction, it is a beautiful song, when I heard it for the first time I did not believe what I heard and saw: they are perfect voices and interpretations. Unfortunately, the beautiful soprano Montserrat Caballe, whom we see here, has passed away a few days ago, surely she is in heaven with her loved ones, her opera friends and her beloved Freddie Mercury." I loved what you said.
How do we get it back? We can’t... 😢 Music like this ceased to exist the day Freddie Mercury died! My heart breaks over and over again every single time I listen to the majesty (no pun intended) of his music. It was pure, it was passion, nothing else evokes this level of emotional response from me. I understand, but don’t understand why I respond so powerfully to the Music of Queen. It is like an obsession, a drug! I believe every single one of them was a genius in their own right, but together they were pure synergy! Greater together than the sum of their individual parts! What launched them into the stratosphere and immortalised them though, was Freddie’s voice. The only other collaboration that matched Queen’s synergy, was Freddie’s collaboration with Montserrat Cabelle! He adored her, and she him. Just perfectly glorious. Like heaven raining down for a brief season. There are so:ply not adequate words. VERY nice reaction! Thank you!
You echo my feelings about Queen and darling Freddie, in my case it is both an obsession and a drug, I can't have a day go by without feeling the passion and emotion of Queen and as an oldie, I believe it keeps me alive. ;-)
Freddie Mercury wrote this song, Barcelona. In order to convince Montserrat Caballe to sing it with him, he sang her parts. I love this song. They used it for the Olympics if I remember correctly.
She asked Freddie to write her a song about Barcelona witch is in Spain her home country, this is what he did, it's about them and where he meet her witch was in Barcelona, she loved it
The album - Barcelona is incredible The story behind the writing, their meeting etc incredible He writes an album (with Mike Moran) & sings in Spanish, English & Japanese - because he loved her
Yes! The song was very badly transcribed in romanji: Teo torriatte (手をとりあって). Brian wrote it because they were so moved by their Japanese fans and the way they received them in the country. I heard Brian even cried, they didn't expect it at all!
@@franksmith7419 - Bi ...and the "love of his life" by his own proclamation was Mary Austen. Anyone can love another person regardless of their sexual orientation. Pssst - Love is not just about sex.
The line ‘The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away‘ definitely took my breath away. And so it did to you. Love your video reactions, my friend!
Oh, man...I'm so GLAD you reacted to this one! This treasure! As much as I love the song and the perfect blend of their magnificent voices, I think the thing I love most is the friendship between these two unparalleled singers. There's a video where Montserrat Caballe talks about the night she first met Freddie, and how the two of them stayed up all night singing while he played piano. She also laughed about the strange looks she got upon leaving in the morning after being in this extravagant rockstar's house all night. hahaha I thought that was hilarious. And Freddie loved that woman for the rest of his life, as I'm sure she also loved him for the rest of hers. She always spoke very fondly of him, and it was obvious that she missed him dearly. There's another video of them performing this song at Ku Club Ibiza on the Freddie Mercury Solo channel on YT which is just as great. You should watch that one sometime, too. Great reaction, JB. I could tell this one touched your heart, and I appreciate your journey into all this wonderful music. I'm here for this!
Like your other viewers, I am so glad you are sharing and loving this incredibly beautiful creation. Please also react to Guide me Home and How Can I Go On (parts of Barcelona) Heaven! Barcelona)
When I heard this song the first time I sat here for a couple of hours just playing it over and over with tears streaming down my face. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard bc I knew how much Freddie LOVED and respected Montserrat as she did him. I bought the cd as well. I've bought several of her cd's as well! You can hear her singing quite a few times in the background in the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie. A quiet tribute to her for being one of Freddie's very best friends. Beautiful! I'm afraid all of the music like this was in the past. People now only want to make money. Freddie just wanted to make music and the money was a bonus. Some people sing bc they want to be rich and famous. But some, the LEGENDS like Freddie, sing bc they HAVE to! The world will never have another like Freddie Mercury which is good. I don't think we could handle another one!
Freddie is a forever man for all ages. Through his unearthly voice and passion, he evokes the most noble sentiments in us. He is love and gives love and therefore we adore him. Awestruck forever ❤️🍸.Love your reaction - spellbound 😄
Your reaction made cry even more😢😢😢Viva Freddie and Monserrat. I cry every bloody time I see this video. Now they are together making music together in heaven👏👏
After watching her perform with Pavarotti in London, Freddie invited Caballe to his house and intentionally made her miss her flight home to Spain just so he could spend some more time with her. They sat up for the entire night singing at his piano and hatching plans to work together. There's an entire album they did together (also called Barcelona). Songs such as 'How Can I Go On' and 'La Japonaise' are very good as well. Well worth checking out.
Watching your joy...that’s the only word I can find for it, as you discover so much of this music, is amazing. Your appreciation for different styles and genres is opening so many paths for you to go down. Thank you for sharing this journey with us! I’d like to suggest a song by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman called “Time To Say Goodbye.” Their duet is partially in Italian, partially in English, and it’s a stunningly beautiful work of art.
Thanks my bruh for your reaction! The whole album they did together is awesome. A rock singer who did opera with an actual Opera Singer, both fit in together so well! And they loved each other like mother and son! ✌ PS: "The Great Pretender" is awesome too by him alone. Fits his voice so well!
Right there. At 3:32. Your reaction. Hands to the face. Let the music and these wonderful voices wash over you. In my opinion Freddie Mercury was a treasure. A fantastic voice, talent and presence on the stage combined with the magnificent Montserrat Caballe. It's just magic.
I couldn’t sit and wait for you to hear this. Just beautiful. I really like it when you listen to a piece of music, you hardly ever interfere while Freddie sings, most of the other people keep stopping the music and keep talking, I hate it when they do that. I lose interest then. Thank you for this’s . Love you for this.❤️❤️❤️
I do love you and your reactions! You quite simply are my new best pal that I want to sit around and listen to music with! Not sure this music is coming back! Freddie and Mike Moran wrote it for these two to sing. After this, some rock singers tried to sing with opera stars, but no one did it like this! Only Freddie! Only Freddie! (I may be wrong but I think this was his last live performance.)
Wow! Watching with you and rediscovering and discovering so much of Queen and that was my era!!! Never knew about this one ! Thks for bringing it to light! We bring him and others by what your doing.
I NEVER sub to reaction channels. But your face when Freddie sang “the moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away” GAVE ME LIFE!! Please do more Queen. I’m subbed.
Watching this performance overwhelms me and stirs my soul. And watching your reaction and the honest emotion of your face makes me so happy it makes me cry and it connects our hearts. Such beautiful and powerful music is the greatest gift on earth. I wish the whole world could feel what we're feeling at this very moment.
Where did music like this go & how do we get it back again ? Boom !!! Goosebumps time. Humanity is being guided in a dark direction. Resist, and stay in the light people.
I really enjoy your reaction-videos. I like your questions about where did this kind of music go. I Think one of the reasons is that back then musicians got paid for their music, today other people get the money instead of the artists. Spotify gets a big part of the money. Back then the artist could afford taking risks with their music in a way you can't these days. Freddie got the idea of making a opera-album after seeing Montserrat Caballe live on stage. What artist would be willing in taking a risk like that today?
“Where did music like this go? And how do we get it back?”
That was such a beautiful sentiment.
It's a very good question. You need people with the quality of singing voice, the song writers, musicians, and the desire within both the music industry and the public for pop/rock/opera fusion to exist. Night of the Proms does it to a large extent, and bless the organisers, artists, and broadcasters who've been responsible for that, but at the end of the day, singers like Freddie and Montserrat, along with Pavarotti, are a once in every 3 or 4 generation occurrence. If you don't have the quality singers, you just can't do it.
Beautifully asked!!!
Where did it go?......Alas, we had them here with us in this time in which we live....a blink of an eye....
They're Gone.
And one day, we also shall be.....
How do we get it back??!
Will there ever be another Freddie Mercury?! The Genius~The Legend~The composer who wrote BARCELONA at the request and inspiration of the Diva-Legend~
Montserrat Caballè......
Can we recapture what once, GLORIOUSLY Was?!?.......
No more than we could capture and harness the wind......💖👑💃👨
Call your record companies, its their doing on purpose.
Straight up
‘Where did music like this go, and how can we get it back?’
That’s a quote and a half.
Montserrat Caballe passed away 4 days ago. RIP.
Another powerful voice has left us.
MrLightning59 They are our angels singing us into the heavens.
I just saw that a few hours ago. She and Freddie Mercury had a beautiful friendship
😔
MrLightning59 Awww... R.I.P. and please give Freddie a hug from us❤️
She cried at the unveiling of his statue.
William Jordan I cry when I see it. I think he needs statues all over the world. He moved and inspired all.
Damnit! Watched the video with teary eyes, but your comment broke the damm... JUST as I was done putting on my makeup.
Tiina Berg I’m sorry. It just still hurts after all these years. That’s how it is for Bowie too. When I love an artist who changed and formed who I am,it’s almost like losing part of yourself....BUT on the. Luminous side, it shines forever! 💫⭐️
I lost it 😥😥😥
Can someon eplz send me a link of the video?? 🙏🙏
Amazing voices! Singers today should could learn something hearing this! Rip Freddie and Montserrat
Your reaction and facial expressions during this amazing video are truly PRICELESS! There will NEVER be another Freddie, I am so happy for you that you have discovered him and Queen! If this song and performance doesn’t move you, you have no soul! Freddie and Montsy together again..how much sweeter does Heaven sound with the two of them together again❤️

Absolutely! I guess you've seen this?: ruclips.net/video/NeU4lENMtr8/видео.html
It was used in the Olympics coverage.
@@jazzbaby6 But the official song was "Amigos para siempre" instead, which is a nice song, but in no way in the same level of brilliance
@@TheDolorosm I know all that. What do you mean by this comment?
'The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away' is arguably the best line of singing the world has ever heard!
Makes me cry every time and gives me tingles at the top of my head ❤
You are so sweet and sensitive. Freddy is indeed the greatest performer of all times. He is the Voice, period. His voice could reach 4 octaves and could sing anything he wanted but preferred to stick on rock.
Thank you for getting addicted. Love from Portugal.
Beautiful reaction!!
RIP Freddie. RIP Montserrat.
He had an incredible range. Wish more people could appreciate opera. The music can touch your soul.
This brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it too....
I love how your expression goes from "What the heck am I watching?" to lighting up like a Christmas Tree when Freddie appears on stage. :-)
Sir, you did that song justice in your reaction. No pausing it, just sit back and enjoy. RIP to them both.
This quality of music will never go away
Monetary Caballe was an amazing singer and an inspiration to Freddy. Such an amazing pairing! And she is finally with him again! RIP Madame Caballe! Love your reviews, Joey!
They did a whole album together. Now, sadly, Ms. Caballé has left us and is singing in heaven with Freddie.
R. I. P. Montserrat Caballé
He loved Montserrat - and she him -- you can only imagine what he (and she) may have done if he had lived longer!
They did do a whole album together :-)
Nerine Beaumont : That they did , and I still have that cassette.
You looked mesmerized.
First time hearing this song by Freddie. 💖💖💖
Montserrat Caballe was one of the great opera singers who passed away recently ~*
that God given voice...God i miss freddy mercury
Freddie
Two of the best voices of all time!!!!!!!!
The whole Barcelona album together with Montserrat Caballe is maybe the project that was the most important to Freddie ever. He just loved and adored her, they had a very close personal realtionship and stayed friends right until the end. Now they both arent with us anymore but they left this legandry song forever.

This is like tasting a fine wine after drinking cheap booze all your life. You suddenly discover flavor you have never experienced. ( I have been lucky , I grew up listening to Queen , and Freddy )
Freddie loved the opera they had a wonderful freindship, now they can sing together again in heaven 💜
Hahaha, Freddie went to heaven? I think not. Great performer but not Godly material.
@@franksmith7419 Let him Who is without sin, cast the first stone.
Wonderful song, they did a whole album together as well. Sadly Monserrat passed away a few days ago. RIP
From what I recall this collab was a real dream come true for Freddie. I'm glad he got to do it
I love Freddie Mercury and Queen and never get tired of listening to their incredible, music. Thank you for the opportunity to see it through fresh eyes once again. I so love your appreciation of and comments about their talent and divinely inspired body of work.
This reaction should be shared endlessly
You are someone who fully understands and appreciates the wonder that was Freddie Mercury.

I also love the fact that Freddie wrote this for Monserrat Caballe. He wrote a whole opera album called, wait for it.... Barcelona. They sang all the songs. Sigh.
Whoa! Your taste in music is becoming more sophisticated...
I wept the first time I saw this. Epic performance !
This is so beautiful it brings me to tears every time without fail. ❤️

James, your face says it all. I love watching you find something new. Thanks for reacting to this.
Magnificent, hairs standing on my arms and buzzing going through my body. Encore!
Im so happy you've experienced Freddie at one of his best! Love both singers! Peace!!!
And Freddie was already sick here....He was truly awesome!

Yes, with tears in her eyes she stated very clearly that she fell in love with Freddie.
When I heard this song the first time I sat here for a couple of hours just playing it over and over with tears streaming down my face. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard bc I knew how much Freddie LOVED and respected Montserrat as she did him. I bought the cd as well. I've bought several of her cd's as well!

Hi brother
This album Freddie wrote for her, some songs in Spanish English even some Japanese!
I am so excited that you reacted to this. My favorite Freddie.. the dynamics in his voice are so amazing. ❤❤

I’d like to suggest a song by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman called “Time To Say Goodbye.” Their duet is partially in Italian, partially in English, and it’s a stunningly beautiful work of art.
spine tingling brilliance
WOW! Thank you so much on reacting to that. Speechless indeed. One word...incredible.
Thanks my bruh for your reaction! The whole album they did together is awesome. A rock singer who did opera with an actual Opera Singer, both fit in together so well! And they loved each other like mother and son! ✌ PS: "The Great Pretender" is awesome too by him alone. Fits his voice so well!
Julian oh my yes!!! The Great Pretender is fabulous! 👏👏
I really enjoyed watching you enjoy this for the first time. 😊
I'm here nov 15 loved your reaction this always gives me goose bumps two of the best singers in the world RIP Freddie and montserrat
Your reactions always got me!!!!!
This performance was a religious experience, so beautiful and so sad both are gone but now they are performing for God
I am speechless!!! He was one of a kind!! How beautiful!!! LEGEND!!!
many thanks for your really emotional reaction. Welcome to Freddie's universe !!!
I cry every time I hear this song
Right there. At 3:32. Your reaction. Hands to the face. Let the music and these wonderful voices wash over you. In my opinion Freddie Mercury was a treasure. A fantastic voice, talent and presence on the stage combined with the magnificent Montserrat Caballe. It's just magic.
Monserrat Caballé had the most beautiful soprano in the world. Some argue for Maria Callas but I found Cabellé to be just a little more rounded.
I couldn’t sit and wait for you to hear this. Just beautiful. I really like it when you listen to a piece of music, you hardly ever interfere while Freddie sings, most of the other people keep stopping the music and keep talking, I hate it when they do that. I lose interest then. Thank you for this’s . Love you for this.❤️❤️❤️
I do love you and your reactions! You quite simply are my new best pal that I want to sit around and listen to music with! Not sure this music is coming back! Freddie and Mike Moran wrote it for these two to sing. After this, some rock singers tried to sing with opera stars, but no one did it like this! Only Freddie! Only Freddie! (I may be wrong but I think this was his last live performance.)
WOOT WOOT hi from Cleveland Ohio. Glad you liked it. I feel you.
I never thought I'd like Opera. I'm definitely liking this. Is there any genre of music he couldn't sing? No!
He's awesome!!!
Wow! Watching with you and rediscovering and discovering so much of Queen and that was my era!!! Never knew about this one ! Thks for bringing it to light! We bring him and others by what your doing.
Beautiful reaction bro and a beautiful performance it was.
She really cried when they unveiled Freddies statue after he passed😓
This performance was a dream of Freddie's coming true! Two amazing people with amazing voices coming together ❤
Wow😲 beautiful
I NEVER sub to reaction channels.
But your face when Freddie sang “the moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away” GAVE ME LIFE!!
Please do more Queen. I’m subbed.
Watching this performance overwhelms me and stirs my soul.
And watching your reaction and the honest emotion of your face makes me so happy it makes me cry and it connects our hearts.
Such beautiful and powerful music is the greatest gift on earth.
I wish the whole world could feel what we're feeling at this very moment.
The expression on your face is priceless. I needed that this morning.
I think ur awesome for doing this and helping expand minds!
Merci c est juste sublime (from the france (rip madame montserrat cabalé 😢😢❤)
Where did music like this go & how do we get it back again ? Boom !!! Goosebumps time.
Humanity is being guided in a dark direction. Resist, and stay in the light people.
I really enjoy your reaction-videos. I like your questions about where did this kind of music go. I Think one of the reasons is that back then musicians got paid for their music, today other people get the money instead of the artists. Spotify gets a big part of the money. Back then the artist could afford taking risks with their music in a way you can't these days. Freddie got the idea of making a opera-album after seeing Montserrat Caballe live on stage. What artist would be willing in taking a risk like that today?
