What I love most about his vocals is he’s not trying to imitate Freddy; he’s making the performance his own WITH the music of Queen, and that sells it.
Ricardo Afonso played Galileo (lead male role) in the West End Show We Will Rock You. I saw him numerous times as Gazza (Galileo). He was completely STUNNING.
The guys got a canny voice but the performance is a bit robotic, no real passion, have a look at Julia Ivanova's live cover, that's what I would call mind blowing
I know a few studio musicians and they are some of the most talented and underappreciated musicians in the world. These musicians are the real deal. This cover is the best I have ever heard HANDS DOWN
THE SHOW MUST GO ON Empty spaces. What are we living for? Abandoned places. I guess we know the score. On and on. Does anybody know what we are looking for? Another hero, Another mindless crime Behind the curtain In the pantomime. Hold the line. Does anybody want to take it anymore? Show must go on. Show must go on. Inside my heart is breaking. My make-up may be flaking. But my smile still stays on. Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance. Another heartache, Another failed romance. On and on. Does anybody know what we are living for? I guess I'm learning. I must be warmer now. I'll soon be turning 'Round the corner now. Outside the dawn is breaking, But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free. Show must go on. Show must go on. Inside my heart is breaking. My make-up may be flaking, But my smile still stays on. My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies. Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die. I can fly, my friends. Show must go on. Show must go on. I'll face it with a grin. I'm never giving in- Oh-with the show. I'll top the bill, I'll overkill. I have to find the will to carry on with the show. On with the show. Show must go on.
I can appreciate this presentation in an extraordinary way. Where Freddie Mercury’s respect is evident in the performer and the band. Because he is the really great man who can appreciate and respect genius! Here and now the boys do that. Thanks for!!
Apologies, but I have commented about this band before. Has anybody noticed that This Guy hasnt run out if breathe ( is He even breathing?) even after this, quite frankly, epic performance. Awesome. Thank You to you All.
He is a good singer. Obviously nobody has freddys voice but he’s got the right passion and energy, the bands timing is perfect this is the best cover by FAR.
This band did so many more covers. Check out Bat out of Hell by them. With a little help from my friends. Reeling in the years and won’t get fooled again.
Awe man, why do the trolls have to compare artists. Just sit back and watch truly talented artists and very "tight" musicians do a truly great cover in a truly great way. They are ENTERTAINERS!
Never been a huge queen fan but love this song. The OG is amazing but this cover is otherworldly. So much emotion & heart in this cover. I feel it’s somewhat muted & flat in the original. This lineup of The Classic Rock Show is flawless in all aspects of their covers.

Spot on. 👍🏻
Absolutely in agreement, he put his own spin on it.
3:25 - 3:36 - That 'show' note was insanely long.
To be honest this is by far the best cover and considering it’s live it’s actually really close sounding to the album version
Adam Lambert's show must go on live at london 02 arena was the best
I guest we know the high score is marc martel 😀
The instrumentals were way too close.
This blows this away ruclips.net/video/xA3_DAOxf8I/видео.html
Imagine if Freddie was alive and hearing this guy doing his masterpiece justice
I DO NOT understand the 142 thumbs down on this. Either they hit the wrong button or they know NOTHING of talent.
Neider
Die sterben nie aus
Is this vocalist for real. Absolutely mind blowing
Ricardo is lovely, so wonderful, started singing young, you can tell he enjoys it :-)
The guys got a canny voice but the performance is a bit robotic, no real passion, have a look at Julia Ivanova's live cover, that's what I would call mind blowing
Amazing singer!
Is that a question?
@@maxx.mazzeo rhetorical
Holy hell that singer has one hell of a voice
Ricardo Afonso. Yes, he’s ridiculously talented.
Freddie Mercury would be super impressed and proud!!!!!!!!!!
I just saw him as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar, & he completely stole the show. Wicked talented dude.
frab
He really was. It’s the best vocal performance I’ve ever seen in a musical.
I saw him in We Will Rock You
Goosebumps! best cover i've heard so far.
It's so good to hear really good musicians playing together
Absolutely stunning..first time a cover band ever brought me to tears...I'm speechless
On and on... In October 2024 and i still goosebump to see these guys with they perfect performances on a perfect song 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I know a few studio musicians and they are some of the most talented and underappreciated musicians in the world. These musicians are the real deal. This cover is the best I have ever heard HANDS DOWN
Freddie.... looking down on you all, Smiling 😁🤟 He'd be so happy and proud if you all. You guys rock 🎸
This is the best cover of this song. So close yet different from the original. All of them nailed it. It's perfect
difficult to do
I'm very impressed with this singer. OMG his voice is superb!!!
Thank you for keeping Classic Rock alive!!! WOW!!!
Fantastic. Best live version ever. Period. Great band, the singer is on some higher plane!
How is that possible! That's possibly the best Queen cover I've ever heard. Ever. Just sublime. How am I only the 90,655 view of this video?
Amazing. Brian May would also be proud of the guitarist nailing the licks.

That man can sing...
That is the ever so lovely Ricardo Afonso. I saw him as Gazza Fizza in We Will Rock You
vocally and instrumentally, one of the best interpretations of the most beautiful song in the history of rock
Ricardo Afonso... What a prodigy! We are proud of you! Portuguese Power :D
Fantastic, this guy is an amazing singer, so is the female backing singer, this band is superb, great version.
This keyboard player is a fuckin boss man... So good!
All that guys are super awesome !
Sending chills down my spine...no matter how tired, sad or happy you are the show MUST go on...
31 years later the show goes on!
Fabulous! Freddie would be proud!

Zzzzeee Sscccccoooorpionzzz (hehe)
Compact band. . The music is so much powerful! Vocalist superb!
What a voice. There has to be a sound track, to an epic film for this man, written somewhere. So emotive.
Ricardo Afonso was actually the lead singer on West End`s "We will Rock You - QUEEN, the Musical" back in 2010-2012...
Best cover I’ve seen for this song so far absolutely amazing
Incredible performance! Gives me goosbumps all the time!
These guys are performing with love and passion, and the result is amazing!!!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
It’s an extremely hard song to sing, with so much power and emotion, that only Freddie could do, he however smashed it.
this is very difficult song to sing, this guy is freakin awesome, nothing forced, just naturally powerful
I can appreciate this presentation in an extraordinary way.
Where Freddie Mercury’s respect is evident in the performer and the band.
Because he is the really great man who can appreciate and respect genius!
Here and now the boys do that.
Thanks for!!
Apologies, but I have commented about this band before.
Has anybody noticed that This Guy hasnt run out if breathe ( is He even breathing?) even after this, quite frankly, epic performance.
Awesome. Thank You to you All.

Absolutely epic!!! Love those guys! All members of the band are genius. That's some music!!
As an amateur musician, I must say the whole band is freaking awesome...and what a singer !!! Greetings from Italy
My favourite Queen song. Those harmonies in the second chorus always give me chills. And this is probably the best cover ever... I'm blown away. ♡.♡
Freddie's swan song. RIP Mr Mercury, you will never be forgotten and will always be loved
The most incredible rock cover band I’ve ever heard. Every performance just blows me away :)
What a FABULOUS band!!! The lead singer was superb! The guitarists just brilliant, infact all of the band!! SENSATIONAL!!!
Wow is all I have to say. Best cover of this song.

Amazing performance from all the band ,the Singer really good,phenomenal
Never been a huge queen fan but love this song. The OG is amazing but this cover is otherworldly. So much emotion & heart in this cover. I feel it’s somewhat muted & flat in the original. This lineup of The Classic Rock Show is flawless in all aspects of their covers.
