+Razedsgn Raze Yeah, I agree! He's good and he's close but not quite. He's got a bit of that Gomer Pyle thing going before the instrumental break. It's like a guy goes on TV does a Queen song that's pretty good and everybody makes a big deal about it. Let's not overdo it here! It'd be nice if it was the mother of 2 boys but this ain't the guy that would be Freddie's brother. How would he stand up to "Tie Your Mother" or "Stone Cold Crazy"? Sounds like he's cracking a little on those high notes already. Sorry...doesn't do it for me either, I agree with Razedsgn Raze!
Whats up with the Hate comments ---in the spirit of FM, his stage soul and chops! What fuckin shower singer doesn't sing - NONE!. Hollywood shallow people give a break!
This young man has an amazing voice. I have been a queen fan since the very early 70's and i have to agree that his voice is very similar to Freddie's. He has the range and the power but most importantly he has the passion in his voice. He could go far with it. I wish him the best.
The extraordinary performance ... His understanding of the composition. Never heard of such a cover. Tone of voice - awesome. A pleasure. Good luck to this guy.

I just saw this video today. The guy is good but not Freddie. Freddie fans like myself are die hard and he can never be replaced by anyone not even Adam Lambert who so many say is as good as Freddie. Hate to burst your bubbles guys but Freddie always was and always will be the best Front man who ever lived. Never to be replaced.
+Margaret Smith ADAM never tried to replace Freddie ... only pay tribute to his legacy ... ADAM is a true Freddie fan ... has always said there will always be only one Freddie ... QUEEN + Adam Lambert is only keeping the music alive ... it is too brilliant to put on a shelf!! You should read some of Brian May & Roger Taylor's interviews ... they know what they are talking about ... they knew Freddie at his best & they are seeing ADAM at his best today! THEY chose ADAM ... not the other way around!!
Freddie sang not just with his voice he sang from deep down they sound good Adam Lambert and this guy isn't too bad and that older guy from Australia but Freddie sang from the gut.
He did a great job. Well done! Don't listen to any negatives...he is allowed to interpret and present it with his own style. I don't expect him to be a carbon copy of Freddie...there was only one Freddie Mercury & always will be. You made Freddie proud!
this guy does not have an "average" voice...he has a very good voice...I didn't expect to hear Freddie, unlike some people who always compare covers to originals...get over it. It's a stirring tribute to a great singer and a wonderful rendition of a brilliant song!
I was very impressed with his voice, of course there will never be another Freddie but I love this song and his rendition of it was awesome. I shared the URL for the video with Queen via their Facebook page.
I was totally expecting not to like it but DAMN!!! This is so amazing! especially for this guy, who i think, doesnt speak english. The whole video was amazing. Blown away!
I´m sorry to say that Freddie´s voice is inimitable. I´ve seen many great singers performing Freddie´s masterpieces but any of them have still reached his notes, even though they make an incredible effort and they truly deserve to success in their careers. Freddie was unique and I think that it is extremely difficult to sing like him. Maybe you can be close to sing like him but anybody could never sing like Freddie Mercury did.
So Queen makes it´s own choice of music , kind of Opera a great mixture unique in the whole World. This Video is breathtaking , the voice , sound and actors are incredible . My ears tells me Freddy is reborn. So i love Queen and my very whishes are maybe to get in further time new songs in Queenstyle. I think many people in the whole world waiting for new Queen Songs with you. Thanks a lot for this fantastic performance
Кто-бы и что-не писал... Действительно,спел не горлом,а всем "телом"!Неоднократно переслушиваю, именно, это исполнение. Трудно объяснить...Редкая индивидуальность.Удивил невероятно.СПАСИБО,Виктор!!!)))
I read the ravings of some so-called music lovers and connoisseurs who know Freddie Mercury and I want to spit in their face! True fans of Freddy will never behave and respond to the beginner singer - self-taught ... Freddy would you not happy and he was - would be ashamed of you! And I really like Victor! She sings great! No worse than Freddie! Bravo, Victor! excellent performance
Freddie was a rock soprano, so it's natural that you get the opera vibes. But they played rock.. nothing more or less. But respect to this guy, this is NOT an easy song. Remember it was written for and by Freddie himself as well so of course it suited his voice range.
actually his voice can go higher than Freddie's, so when reaching the high notes Freddy strained a bit more, giving his voice a raspy quality that made it quite unique.
C'mon folks .. this guy has a really great voice! He didn't wrote the stupid comparison "Freddie Mercury Reincarnation" did he? And I think he sings this song from his heart in tribute to Freddie.
Anytime someone on these televised Karaoke/Talent shows, sing a song by Queen it seems they are always compared to Freddie or even called the "reincarnation of Freddie". I'm sorry, but this guy is more like Adam Lambert than anywhere close to Freddie Mercury.
Again people, amateur singers are still trying to establish themselves. They can sing their own songs after they have established themselves. But, consider this - this is Ukraine X Factor, his native language is not English but sings incredibly, pretty good smooth voice and is not off key. I agree he may not be the best singer but does sing quite well. My favorite amateur singer from Ukraine is Aida! She blew me away like she did the judges. She also is not Whitney, there will be never another Whitney, not even Mariah! but in their own right, all good solid incredible singers. Many cannot even come close. So, there will be never another Freddie, but Victor is quite good in my opinion.
È bravo indubbiamente , purtroppo ogni volta che uno canta una canzone di freddie mercury subito facciamo il paragone , chiaramente impossibile er che il grande freddie è inimitabile
Yes, there can be, and was only One! But Thomas Crane has got the drive, desire, and so very much talent. He Loves Freddie as do We all. I'd love to see him with Queen. Anybody with me?
Type 'Freddie Mercury - Australia's Got Talent Semi final !! HD !! - Thomas Crane' in the internal search engine if you want to see a very close Freddie Mercury impersonator
Actually, Marc Martel is the love child of Freddie. When Roger searched for a vocalist for his Queen sanctioned project The Queen Extravaganza tribute band, he picked Marc Martel.
He's a good singer with a cool tone... I know we all wanna see Freddie Mercury come back to life , but this " Freddie Mercury Reincarnation" of yours simply is NOT... He aint even close to being a "Freddie Clone" ,... my advice to you is to repeatedly recite and reflect upon the following words that I solemnly bequeth upon you to utilize at will as your own personal Mantra: Freddie Mercury is the greatest artist who ever lived, but ...lest we forget ...he's dead ... so keep "the memory" but let go of "the man", let go of "Freddie the reincarnated" , "Freddie the re-animated , the cloned and the clowned... for the fact is... Freddie Mercury is Immortal ... and as such... there can be "only one"
Freddie was human and he voice gave out at times. I wouldn't call it a mistake. In the early days Queen were doing concerts everyday. There were other reasons for cancellations, Brian became ill or Roger & John, the logistics didn't work for certain arenas, etc. Also, when Freddie first started singing he was not a professional singer either. Freddie never had vocal lessons nor vocal training. Victor is good and I wish him luck.
He's good... he can become big in the music industry, that's for sure. But Freddie is incomparable. Freddie's voice is deeper, stronger, and has wider range of pitch.
dude, dont be kidding. its not even close.

+Razedsgn Raze :) I agree
+Razedsgn Raze nope, not even a fingertip
+Razedsgn Raze 100% BAD
please dont call him freddie.......freddie was just amazing
He is awful if we compared him with a king like Freddie
+Sharon S infact!
Don't be so rude. It's just the way this guy choose to show his love to Freddie. With all his love.
He’s not Freddie, but someone who might come a little bit closer to Freddie mercury is Marc Martel. From the queen extravaganza

This beautiful voice helps us keep alive the spirit of Freddie Mercury and Queen. Thanks for sharing.

jim bradford Yes, but not bad though.. ;)
Sorry man but compare this singer at freddie mercury is equivalent to blaspheme!
To true to true
The extraordinary performance ... His understanding of the composition. Never heard of such a cover. Tone of voice - awesome. A pleasure. Good luck to this guy.
Marc Martel is better
Stunningly beautiful voice and a very worthy performance! Bravo, Victor! A remarkable number statement.
Not bad. Nothing like Freddy.
Freddie dear, Freddie.
Nah, it's Farruh, darling
In that case, it's Farrokh, love

+tatubert82 Great comment-I agree completely!
Thank you! It came right from my heart!
Freddie sang not just with his voice he sang from deep down they sound good Adam Lambert and this guy isn't too bad and that older guy from Australia but Freddie sang from the gut.
Wow just wow! You have to feel the energy of the song to sing like that! Just wow!
As the youngsters say "Nigga Please"! Freddie Mercury my ass!
He did a great job. Well done! Don't listen to any negatives...he is allowed to interpret and present it with his own style. I don't expect him to be a carbon copy of Freddie...there was only one Freddie Mercury & always will be. You made Freddie proud!
So touching performance , voice fabulous, a nice singer ! Freddy'll enjoy it !, Respect!! Victor has find his own way of singing ,I like it!!
He sound more like Brian May singing
Hahahahahahah this is awsome comment :)
An. S. It was actually Brian May that did the first part of this song originally and Freddie filled in.
Great song and well sang thanks , its a version worthy of keeping
Super voice clear and so high its just amazing .I am happy that He won!!!
Marc Martel is the REAL reincarnation of Freddy, period.
Concordo!
Not even close, dear.
this guy does not have an "average" voice...he has a very good voice...I didn't expect to hear Freddie, unlike some people who always compare covers to originals...get over it. It's a stirring tribute to a great singer and a wonderful rendition of a brilliant song!
Freddie was more powerful and emotional.
I was very impressed with his voice, of course there will never be another Freddie but I love this song and his rendition of it was awesome. I shared the URL for the video with Queen via their Facebook page.
Freddie Mercury, only one original,can never be replaced...... remember when best is best next to it is second place.
What an awesome song. One of my favourite Queen songs.
Very intense. He pushed his voice to the limitis. Good performance! But Freddies reincarnation? No way.
I was totally expecting not to like it but DAMN!!! This is so amazing! especially for this guy, who i think, doesnt speak english. The whole video was amazing. Blown away!
beautiful, even if he didn't nail Freddie's sound, he was great all on his own!!
WOW! Gives me chills to listen to this....God Bless you Freddie,and if God has seen fit to send you back to us in this man, so be it!
when I hear him sing I hear freddy and the way frreddy carried his emotions in his voice amazing

nobody can´t even get close how good freddie was, Freddie left us too soon...:(
Beautiful. Heartbreaking.
Loves to see that Freddys is with us and everyone around the World and through all time ...
Freddie you have no rivals )♥
Никому он не подражает.Поет очень здорово и искренне,и абсолютно по-своему. Хочется слушать его и слушать.Очень приятно на него смотреть -НАСТОЯЩИЙ!
It sings a real man. I enjoy. Thank you for the pleasure.

Dude, dont be kidding. Its not even close.
Awesome, you will make Freddy proud.
the most beautiful voice I have ever ever ever
No way! He isn't even close. Freddie Mercury had one of the greatest male voices of all time.
Freddie was the greatest Rock band Frontman of all time. No one, I mean no one will ever come close to being him in 20 lifetimes
there will only be one freddie mercury rip freddie you did good
The advertisement before the video started was the best part.
really FANTASTIC, just like FREDDIE, WOOOW
ridiculous
it is impossible to imagine that Freddie Mercury could ever be replaced or imitated
He isn't Freddie! Freddie Mercury was stronger!!
Check out marc martel..,he's the closest to Freddy in my opinion... hes got the look and voice
If you search "My Somebody To Love Audition", thats the best damn Freddy I've ever seen.
Not only was Freddy the greatest "pop" vocalist ever , but he also did it whilst changing his accent.
Great! Done, Victor!
great voice..but no one like Freddie..forever and ever Freddie Rules..
Freddie was a rock soprano, so it's natural that you get the opera vibes. But they played rock.. nothing more or less.
But respect to this guy, this is NOT an easy song. Remember it was written for and by Freddie himself as well so of course it suited his voice range.
actually there is no one like freddie.. each one has his own signature, technique, resonance, and presence
Freddie sang without techology today, that's why he was and will be unique.
meravigliosa interpretazione
REALLY INCREDIBLE!!! I LOVE UKRAINE. LIVING LVOV!!
very, very nice!
came here via Australia's Freddie guy.........this guy has a great voice but to compare him to Freddie is like comparing a Z1 to an FS1E.....
I agree with you, the guy from Australia's got talent, oh man, his voice is amazingly similar to Freddie's
He doesn't carry the emotion and power that Freddie's voice embodied in this beautiful song.
actually his voice can go higher than Freddie's, so when reaching the high notes Freddy strained a bit more, giving his voice a raspy quality that made it quite unique.
@MsGerania This young man did an incredible job! Our Freddie is smiling )
Lovely voice. Nothing like Freddie.at all.
Siempre quieren comparar con Freddie, en esta tierra hubo y en nuestros corazones uno solo, no hay más y el era más que una voz, era único!!!! 😤😤😤
I didn't know Borat was such a talented singer. Cool! ;P
C'mon folks .. this guy has a really great voice! He didn't wrote the stupid comparison "Freddie Mercury Reincarnation" did he? And I think he sings this song from his heart in tribute to Freddie.

This isn't his best performance, but damn it, he's almost perfect at matching Freddie's voice.
quelle tres belle voix,une réincarnation,defrèdy mercury

Yes, there can be, and was only One! But Thomas Crane has got the drive, desire, and so very much talent. He Loves Freddie as do We all. I'd love to see him with Queen. Anybody with me?
I tend to mistake Brian’s singing with Freddie’s singing.
But if you listen carefully, you can tell the difference.
Canta bien!!! Pero nadie como Mercury!!! Único hermosa y grandiosa voz Q.E.P.D

This was an awesome song in "Highlander".
Hear hear! Someone with a good pair of ears!
Increible el parecido de la voz!
nothing like Freddies voice
Whoever put this title must see Marc Martel!
And Gary Mullen too.
Today in Kyiv Viktor will sing with the band Queen at a charity concert! Good guy!
Great tribute to the Fred the Merc
