That was when rock audience discovered opera. She was one of the best sopranos in the world, so they were both iconic.
Montserrat was one of Freddie's biggest idols. They became close friends who adored each other, right up until his death.
Once every century? Not even that often. To have lived on this planet at the same time as Freddie Mercury and David Bowie fills me with pride!
Give it up for Montserrat as well she passed away this year I think at 86.
i met her once ... incredible! i felt in love with her from the very first smile ♥
@@Ali.Shlaibeq she gave a concert but was kind of sick :-( after 10 mins there was a aprupt break. 20 mins later she went on stage again and ... you could see, that she was not in mood. three songs later the show was over. it was too much for her :-( as my stepdad was a kind of janitor / housekeeper or whatever the word is, they gave me the "golden book" to let her sign. so i went upstairs in the townhall and went in her room. she signed the book and a poster for me ... i've met a lot of stars, but this three minutes with her were just incredible!!! as i said - a met a lot of stars, but she was outstanding!!! ♥
There is a YT of her talking about her experience with Freddie and this song.
Michel Parent thanks I am going to look for it
She will be sorely missed. A beautiful singer. If you find it, there's a clip of her singing Tanti Affetti (in the 80s ) which shows her humor as well. A true legend.
That whole part "the moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away" oh my God you can see him just singing it from inside of him and giving it everything it needed to punctuate and make you feel what he was saying
There will never be another Freddie!! Heartbreaking loss. Gone to soon!! 😭😭
He wrote this, possibly with her help. They became friends, he told her that he probably had only 2 years to live. They wrote and sung an album of songs. He was such a talent. A beautiful person.
There will never be another Freddie Mercury in this life time! I agree. I too thank God for all of this being captured for all to enjoy and love his gift. He gets to live on forever.
Freddie once said about Montserrat, “I love music and she is the music.” 🥰🥰🥰 Her name is pronounced “Mont-ser-raht” “Cah-bah-yay.” And, thank you for enhancing the sound! That was awesome!
Yes, Freddie was/is the greatest. He wrote Barcelona with Monserrat Caballe in mind and when he played it for her for the first time he even sang her part so she could hear it. An unbelievable talent.
There will never be another Freddie. He could do it all.
He really was a force wasn’t he. The world is a bit dimmer without him for sure
Not when I look in the mirror.
what...?! ....stay away my mirrow, my only way out here......
It’s a lot dimmer.😔
He was all about bridging gaps...socially, sexually, artistically, musically. He reached EVERYONE!
He could bring different worlds together. OH, HOW WE NEED THAT NOW!!!!!!!
Absolutely
This is a beautiful story of friendship, respect, creativity and the most finest and astonished music !!! Freddie and Montsy dared to go beyond the boundaries and achieve an incredible music and an incredible historical milestone in music 🎼 🎵 🎶.
It was also the time when Freddie knew about his illness ... and he told Monserrat about it. Monserrat said, later in an interview:
"While he was singing I noticed that his eyes were shiny with tears. I give him my hand. He clasped it and kissed it. It was clear he was suddenly aware of his own fate. They were tears of farewell. It was his goodbye , at least to the stage ". Montserrat Caballé
This is my favorite Freddie Mercury song. He demonstrated the full range of his talent. I love all Queen songs but Freddie shines in this performance. It gives me chills!
You asked how often someone like Freddie comes along? The obvious answer is once. No one else like him. Ever.
Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé equals a PERFECT pairing....LOVE THIS SONG!!!
And it is his own...He wrote it!!!
RIP Freddie and Montserrat - singer of songs, lover of life x
The most amazing thing about this reaction is that you didn't mention her once! A genius in her own right. Freddie adored her.
This!!! I was like…seriously, Matthew? No appreciation for our diva? 😳 How disappointing 🥺
He surely loved his triumphant poses and was so good at them. I simply feel better about life hearing his voice, feeling his confidence, and seeing his fist raised high in the air. I think the thing is that it was about glory for all, not just him. There's a lot of love in that raised fist.
Me emociona, me entristece que nos dejaran. Allí donde estén gracias por haber hecho felices a tanta gente.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was THE best!! No one compares to Freddie Mercury! And remember, he was sick at this time. We lost so much the day Freddie Mercury left us 😥
And, u gotta remember that there were actually TWO DIVAS here. Lol
My sister sent me a couple of images... of several current "divas" - admit I'm old and didn't know them all - but each had the title "I'm the Queen" -- Beyonce was one.. and then they had Queen Elizabeth with the caption "hahahahah.. bitches" -- and THEN - there was an image of Freddie - with the caption: "Ladies, PLEASE" -- :)
GinMae I love it!😆
I always found it funny how the gay community keep using these women with no talent as their queen yet this man, this gay man, who has been accepted by even the hardest straight man is ignored by them
She could hold that high, pure pianissimo note forever. I think I could walk outside, collect my mail, come back in & she would still be holding that note.
Montserrat was invited to sing this at the opening of the Barcelona 92 Olympics but said she couldn't do it without Freddie 😢 much love 💘
Freddie's performances make me cry, and scream on the inside. His stuff is to be listened to 'live'. We're all gifted for the richness these people brought to our lives.
AMAZING AND SINCERE REACTION! I get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. Freddie was a musical genius...a true LEGEND.
Oh how I wish Freddie was around today. There will never be another Freddie! ❤️
Never in our world will there ever be another Freddie . Once in the universe.
You know someone recently described Freddie perfectly, for those that grew up on his songs, and even those that are just now starting down his path. I've always said he had a divine presence, you just were in awe watching him, and then someone said, "After Freddie's death, he left us craving his love and his music" And it was the word "love" that popped out for me, they hit the nail on the head, he radiated love through his songs, no matter what genre he was singing, he just oozed love out to his fans. I think even if Freddie didn't get paid, he would still sing for an audience with the same amount of love and passion, that I think (along with his incredible voice) made him stand out from the others and to this day, still does. We crave Freddie....lol
Perfectly said. He was mesmerizing.
if you look here on YT, under almost every queen/freddie videos one of the most liked comment is usually "how can i miss someone so much i didn't know?" :'(
Mercury, the messenger of the gods.
@@kizunadragon9 they say he had his moon at 26-27 degrees sagittarius which they say is the center of the universe. means he was channeling information from the future/past of all humanity. hm
well said Kellee...great observation. The talent and the passion he infused into every song he made..leaves a great void in us musically today. Because in the world of fast canned sound, and mediocre flash in the pan stardom, this type of True talent and uniqueness simply doesn't exist . When we hear it thru his recordings and videos it fills a small gap in our musical beings that craves greatness , and un-autotuned reality
It’s so cute that ur still flabbergasted. Yeah. Years later, so am I.
Eileen Tsiapanos b
Sorcery?
Or a gift from the gods of music? The fact that such beauty exists can lift my
spirit out of the depths.
Your gonna lose it when you see it. Its mind blowing. Love Freddie so much
The live version with Freddy Mercury is always the best!
His amazing vocal range and ability to open to every genre of music.
I'm a huge Queen fan but I had never seen this one. So thank you!!! I'm speechless. FREDDIE never disappoints. R.I.P. Freddie
I'm so touched by your reaction, L. Freddie & Montserrat (or Montsy, as he called her) adored each other & were in awe of each other's talent. She was amazed how he, being a natural baritone, could glide effortlessly between that and his tenor voice..and also his composing ability. They quickly became close & he even confided in her about his illness. She attended the unveiling of his statue in Montreaux, Switzerland with his family, and was moved to tears. I'm posting this 3 min. video of the event for anyone who'd like to see it. It also shows Brian explaining why the statue is there. L, being as you enjoyed their work together I hope you watch this..every Queen fan should see it..
ruclips.net/video/RxwcVx8NCKI/видео.html
Montserrat passed away in October. I hope they're making beautiful music together on the other side.
Thank you Deborah, I have not seen this clip before and of course I have tears in my eyes, again. The song, A Winters Tale just says it all, and this is the perfect setting for his beautiful statue. I love that they captured Freddie's energy and movement so well, the statue has become iconic in itself, thanks again 😥😁😉💖🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@obsidianred9833
So glad you enjoyed it! I noticed the same things, how even the jacket looks stopped in mid-motion as he reaches up. That statue was well thought out & well executed. I've watched the video 3 of 4 times and I always get misty. I guess we're both soft-hearted & emotional when it comes to Freddie & Queen. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Plus, we're in good company with a few million other people.💙
Oh, why did you give us that link. I THANK you as tears are pouring down my face. Oh my god, his poor Mama. My heart is breaking all over again.
Thank you for posting that video, it was beautiful!
Deborah Cornell - I also wish to thank you for the video. I had never seen it either. It was so touching to see Freddie's mother, father and Montserrat consoling each other. Brian seemed close to tears when he said the view of the lake from his home was his favorite and now he can look out on it forever. So sad that London did not allow a statue. The inscription on the statue sums his life up so succinctly....Lover of Life, Singer of Songs. Thanks again.
She’s an opera singer! He sang opera. They started studying Freddie’s voice range before he passed and still to this day! I so miss Freddie ❤️
In an interview Freddie said he was worried that he might go stomping across the stage like he usually does when he feels the music but his friend told him not to worry and just tone it down a bit lol. You can see Freddie in one part where he nearly goes forward taking Monsterrat with him but he stops himself. So singing and thinking about what his body is doing as well makes this so perfect.
I was going to say the same thing 😊
I read from another comment elsewhere that Freddie was worried his stage personality would overshadow her. And a friend told him that, hey, she's an operatic soprano, a Prima Donna (I think she was called La Magnifica); and most likely _he_ would have to step it up a bit! :-D :-)
There’s no other like Freddie in this world... and yes, he goes WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND...💕
This dude was...a Savant. That's the word your looking for. He drew inspiration from everywhere...
R.I.P. Montserrt Caballe. Very few singers become legends even fewer become icons but Freddie Mercury is a legendary icon.
Loved your reaction, I was LMAO!!! That Freddie is filled with many surprises. Never be another Freddie. Miss You Darling.
His talent will never be seen again, his love of all music reflected in this song, he knew he was dying when this was made, it was and always will be an iconic recording of two such amazing talents.
When you remember that around this time poor Freddie was starting to realize something was VERY wrong with his body it’s incredible. He was feeling pretty ill around this period and still drove these notes into the sky. It’s amazing
Yep, he was diagnosed with AIDS in 1987. He’s amazing
This was in 1988 or 89 so he already knew he had Aids
@@songbird897 It was recorded in '87 & released in '98. Caballe was one of very few people he told about his diagnosis. He loved & trusted her.
I think besides being a useful prop, Freddie’s mic stand gave him something to do with his hands. Without it his arms are flying all over the place- which is adorable and endearing anyway, but I think he was aware of it. Even in the “making of” video of the “These are the Days of Our Lives” video, Freddie criticized his performance by saying “I did too many movements.” He tends to, without that mic stand to occupy his hands. But it’s cute, and I love him no matter what!
:) I watch him, and lovingly think, he invented the original fidget spinner
@@DonnaleaSpencer - Ha ha. Even in this video his legs and arms were twitching to perform!
I love you so much Freddie. YOU are the best
I will say it for all time, Freddie is one of if not the best Male vocalist to ever live
Freddie is just irreplaceable!
I was born in 1963 so I grew up listening to Queen! The good old days of awesome music!
@M99980 and Angela Crawford - Born in '49 so I got The Beatles, British Invasion AND Queen! We were lucky.
Goosebumps every time I hear this, amazing 😉
We told ya, L... Freddie is incomparable!
I’m so lucky to have been a teenager during the’70s. Freddie and Montsie as he called her were great together. 🖖🏻🇨🇦💥🥰
This song is so freaking gorgeous! When I started my journey into Queen I would’ve never expected that Freddie could transition so amazingly from rock n roll to opera! And they sound beautiful together! Definitely deserves more attention! R.I.P to both Mercury and Caballé
Yes your right bro there was and there can never be another one like Freddie Mercury ever period
Freddie was a gift from God. And I agree with you, the fact that we can still watch him today is another gift.
A legend among legends. Nothing less can be said about him.
And this was the official song for 1992 Olympic games in Barcelona Spain!! Absolutely perfect
What a talent this man was. Just priceless
A legend ; like no other. We love you freddy Mercury
I am getting such a kick out of watching another generation discover Freddie. Your reaction was spot on and the way I’ve always felt when hearing him sing.
This is why it hurt so many when he left this earth. For those of us who were here when he was we knew how great he was. More than Rock or Opera he lived his gift and shared it openly. I am enjoying reliving these moments with you and other reactors experiencing this now for the first time. Keep going with this journey. 👍👍👍
Freddie was more than talented, he was gifted!
The moment that you stepped into the room you took my breath away....Freddie had just seen Montserrat perform with Poveretti and went completely nuts. He had to meet her he had to talk to her and this entire pop opera came out of that first meeting. She was crazy about this pop star and they stayed dear friends to the end.
I felt the same way. He combined the 2 genres and 2 worlds of rock and opera to perfection. Opera and Freddie's personality are both over the top and just... Wow!
I love how it was just supposed to be one song, she asked him how many songs are usually on a rock and roll album. They ended up recording a full album because she loved his energy. I watched an interview with her and she was talking about how opera was a dying art until he sang with her and reintroduced it to the younger generations. She said that she would hear young people asking "who is that woman screaming beside Freddie?" 🤣
There is a RUclips of M. C. at. Freddie's London home. They sang, talked and laughed their way til dawn. They really cared deeply for each other. She asked Freddie to write a song about her home city, Barcelona. And boy he sure did!! R.I.P. to F and M.
Freddy mercury was the greatest performer in history.
I think the word your looking for is legend. Freddie is the legend of legends. RIP freddie. I have found memories of music battles. When ever Freddie or Queen played all others stopped
Yes, this is a phenomenon. You must get a headset, it really changes the experience. There can only be one Freddie ever. It makes so sad that he is no longer with us. But his music, voice, energy, passion, love and brilliance endures and grows stronger. How I would love to have known him.
Angelic AND powerful!!! 💚💚💚💚
Man...when you got up out the chair and had to walk around...I lost it 😂
You are on a roll picking the absolute best songs to react to.
She was one of Freddie's heroes. The line 'the moment that you walked into the room, you took my breath away' actually happened and Freddie wrote that line just for her because Freddie was starstruck. Montserrat was unsure about Barcelona until Freddie sent her a tape of his vocal range. This was no ordinary duet. Freddie loved her and was totally starstruck when she agreed to do it. He could not believe he got to sing with her. You have to be good to starstuck Freddie Mercury. Legend , gone but NEVER forgotten.
That is the MAGIC of Freddie Mercury and Queen. He thought she had one of the most beautiful voices in the world. Every member had their own solo thing from time to time but, Queen was more than the sum of their parts. Together they were their own genre. Amazing..
You are not alone, I remember hearing this for the first time 😲 Freddie saw her sing, at Covent Garden I think, and asked if he could meet her, they became really good friends, a kind of mutual adoration, I think that comes over in this too . Fantastic reaction, sometimes words are not enough or indeed needed 💖💖
As the information about the lyrics didn't seem to be there, I'll tell you: this song describes the first time Freddie met Montserrat. They adored each other :)
Great reaction, Lamar, thank you!!
He wrote this and many others that he recorded with her and did a whole album with her.
Freddie the greatest,RIP.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Love hearing you acknowledge Freddie Mercury, the Legend. Barcelona by Freddie and 'Montsy' is one of my most highly favoured musical rendition. Another one is them singing 'Guide Me Home'. I am a romantic and their singing; entire performance strikes me as a loving experience for the two of them.
Even in death, Freddie Mercury is topping charts
YOU DID IT.....😚😚😚 thank you so much. Couple of things...Freddie wrote this for the Barcelona olympics...he sang her parts to her before she agreed...he died before the olympics so it wasnt used. He was very sick at this point but said it was something he was really proud of .they became very close friends. I remember how she so cried at the unveiling of his statue. Glad you enjoyed it.😊😊😊
You are wrong about the song not being used, it was used and she sang it without him and as a tribute to him.
I don’t know if any of your viewers have mentioned this but Freddie composed this music as well. Truly a musical genius sent from the gods!
Es un lujo, un honor escuchar, ver a estos dos monstruos. Para mí la mejor inauguración de todos los juegos Olímpicos!!!! Juntar a estas figuras pone los pelos de punta.❤️❤️❤️
Wow! I freakin LOVE ur reaction, man!! Really. I felt the same the first time I heard it n saw the video. Speechless. (N it takes a LOT to leave ME speechless. Lol)
He wrote this song for her before even got to meet her. He fell in love with her when he was at an Opera with Peter Freestone, his Personal Assistant. He had never heard of her before and then she agreed to meet him and this eventuated. 💕
Thank you for passing Freddie to another generation
This song always give me goosebumps when I hear it. Both performers absolutely nailing it.
one of very few voices to ever match opera singer.... and he was rock singer... that is beyond insane
Simply beautiful.
Glad you got it. He was a once in a lifetime.
They absolutely adored each other. She loved working with him and he was in love with her voice.
And this isn't even the most spectacular rendition of this song! At the opening ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics it was used in a truly spectacular fashion and well worth a watch.
Freddie not only sang great but he wrote every song for the Barcelona album, including Monserrat’s part. When he sent her the songs, he sang both his and her parts and it was amazing. Freddie is a true LEGEND.
Amazing man.....lover of life...singer of songs! When he wrote Barcelona he was sick. He sang litterally until his death.
Exactly.... this is my all time favorite piece of music. It makes me cry every time I hear it. Love Queen, miss Freddie so much. He LOVED Montserrat and was so happy he got to sing with her. This is a masterpiece.
So glad you enjoyed it !
Freddie Mercury goes from 92.2Hz. And Montserrat Caballé has a 5 octave range. This entire album is FANTASTIC. I love La Japonaise also. Listen to the entire album. I’ve been playing this album over and over. I love it, I’m 73 years old and this tops everything I’ve heard. Take care,
Kate, theflutterby🦋 from Seattle❤️
Dear I am very familiar with those wonderful Musical treasures.But for me to see a young american like you enjoying it, is as amazing as the musical discoveries to you! The world is better.
I don’t like opera at all.... until I heard this. It simultaneously stirs my soul yet soothes my spirit.
This song gives me chills.
The guys in back are captivated by Freddie . So he is so gentle with her . They said he would make sure she had fresh roses in her hotel room everyday and he had the bathroom remodeled just Incase she used it omg . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Watching angels sing. I love watching them over and over again but I can't hold back tears. I only wish they could have done more.
Her voice is like satin in my ears. They both had great respect and love for each other. Freddie sais she had the greatest voice in the world
That "whom other person is" was one of the best opera singers of all times ;)
