Freddie, this is what I'm talking about! It's incredible how far that vocal range can stretch; the band sounds great, as usual!

“I don’t know where I go from here?”
You go live. Queen live is another level.
I'm glad you did the studio version BUT this is one of those songs that you truly need to also react to the live in Montreal version. One of the best live performances ever. And I know you'd enjoy the hell out of it.💙☮
Plus it has a great drum solo section.
Agreed.
100% yes! 🙌🏼
The best performance life ever. Love Freddie and what he did live of this song was pure magic
Please, please, please do the live Montreal version!! It will blow your mind!
They are showing the recording footage and a live performance footage with the studio recording over it. Now that you've seen the studio, you really need to watch the live for this song that's pretty much considered the best live performance Queen ever gave. Montreal 1981. 😄
Yep yep yep!!
Absolutely do the live version from the 1981 Montreal concert. You will absolutely love it. Thank you for doing QUEEN videos. Take care and have a great day. Your friend, QUEEN BEE.
Their 23min live performance at LIVE AID was fantastic...check it out
Yes PLEEEEASE💗💗
Now that you've heard the studio recording, check it out live. Specifically the 1981 Queen at Montréal. It's epic.
As stated below this song live at Montreal is mind blowing. Freddie is absolutely amazing in that performance. I love this song and I love this studio version but Montreal is beyond human in Freddie's vocals. Thank you for reacting to this great song.
Ohhh wow I can’t wait
@@ABtheKreator Little factoids:
Roger Taylor, the drummer has that high voice.
Dr. Brian May's father made his guitar, The Red Special.
Every band member has at least one #1 single written by them.
Freddie was born in Zanzibar to Persian parents.
John Deacon built special amps for the group, he has a degree in Electronic Engineering.
The guitarist is Dr. Brian May astrophysicist, they were very educated and talented. Also Freddie wore ballet shoes with his leotard😁do White Queen live at Hammersmith it's mind blowing.
Tammy, Freddie performed with the Royal Ballet...and was a model in Fashion Aid...both available on RUclips...spectacular🤩
@@josephinemonahan915 oh ok thank you both
@@ABtheKreator White Queen is ... ... I have no words ♥
Drummer, bass player and lead guitarist are singing backup!
John didn’t sing back up here
Thanks for reacting to Queen! The live versions of this are legendary - the 1981 Montreal version is the one most people love, although the 1982 is different but also amazing and I think I prefer it. After that, white queen live at Hammersmith 1975 is incredible.
Early works are great too...WHITE QUEEN live at Hammersmith...
Greatest group of all times.
Got to do Somebody to Love Live 1981 Montreal...🔥🔥
Oh yeah I’m hearing that’s a must 👀🔥🔥
@@ABtheKreator You will Not be disappointed!!
1981 Montreal live! This is the one that need so be reacted to! Queen does anything but talk to to you lightly!🤣 Great reaction as usual!💪🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😱✊🏻💥💯🔥💥
Freddie Mercury was such a gift to the world. Must do’s are ‘Love of My Live’ live at Montreal, ‘The Show Must Go On” live and ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ live at Wimbley. They were magical in the live performances.
love this song!! for sure, like everyone else has stated, check out this live in Montreal, 1981. you will be blown away!!! no speaking lightly. Freddie had several outfits...even short shorts. if you're going down the rabbit hole - take snacks.
Trust…. He had plenty of lovin’ 😂. Like everyone else is commenting, please do the the live version of this Montreal 1981.
Another one bites the dust!!! Is a great song by them!!
I am a new subscriber because of your Queen videos, due to Queen being my favorite band. Queen is iconic and I'm almost willing to bet you know Queen. Remember High School football games? "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions" are both Queen classics. You might also have heard "Another One BItes the Dust". I suggest you try the 1985 Live Aid concert. Enjoy the ride!
Live at Montreal SOMEBODY TO LOVE is just as great
❤👏👏👏👏👏Great reaction AB! Queen Live Aid at Wembley Stadium will supply the orange juice for a year. Several songs performed live. Fire and juice.
May I say, your new equipment looks good on you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Shhhh he needs to build up to that……😂
PLEASE, PLEASE, you have to also do this song live from Montreal 1981….One of the best live performances EVER!!! Especially for reaction videos! It is a MUST….I promise you won’t regret it!!! 🔥🔥🍊🧃🍊🧃💯😊
Oh it’s going to happen Alyssa!!!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The backup singers are: Brian May - lead guitarist, Roger Taylor - drummer and John Deacon - bass guitarist. Queen did it all themselves...... All 4 band members were exceptional musicians....... exceptional vocalists (except John) ...... and exceptional songwriters. Each of the 4 wrote some of the bands #1 hits - the only band that can claim that !!!! And they were all very highly educated: Freddie - graphic design, Brian May - astrophysicist, Roger Taylor - biology, John Deacon - electronics. The original 4 member of Queen were together for 20 years ........ from 1971 until Freddie's tragic death from AIDS in 1991. You have a long Queen journey ahead of you....... 20 years of Queen greatness..... Enjoy !!! And... you'll never get bored. Queen could sing any genre and they always surprised everyone with each of their albums and songs. And... they were even better live than in the studio...... Enjoy !!!
Freddie Mercury was a big fan of Aretha Franklin he wanted to do a song with her because he loved how much power she has in her voice and he loved her style. I think the next song you should do is White Queen and love of my life the live version in Montreal. Freddie Mercury Wrote that song for the woman he was going to marry, but it did not happen she still stay by his side when he came out to her
Queen created beautiful harmonies in the studios, but their live performances were on another level. They all were masters of their instruments.
Freddie mentioned in an interview: „For Somebody To Love, we had the same 3 people singing on the big choir section, but I think it had a different kind of technical approach because it was a gospel way of singing - which was different to us. That track was me going a bit mad. I just wanted to write something in the Aretha Franklin kind of mode. I was inspired by the gospel approach she had on her earlier albums. Although it might sound like the same approach on the harmonies, it is very different in the studio because it’s a different range.”
Oh you know your stuff I see and thank you 🙏🏾
Thing about Freddie is he had all the confidence on stage, but off stage he was extremely shy, hard to believe but true. Queen was fantastic, and Freddie could sing any type of music, even Opera.
One of thee greatest voices in actual rock bands. Phenom.
My favorite Queen song of all time!! Love the studio version & every live version out there. Gotta do this song live in Montreal 1981 considered Queen’s best performance! I personally prefer the live version at Milton Keynes 1982 which is more powerful (if that’s even possible). Then there’s young Freddie live at Hammersmith & his vocals are completely unleashed! BRILLIANT SONG!!
Freddie, Brian and Roger did the back vocals added John on last backing vocals
Those super high notes in the background are from the drummer.
Something I find interesting the more I think about it. I just assumed that anyone over the age of 30 was very familiar with Queen. I assumed that because I was raised listening to Queen music in the house by my parents. It’s neat to experience this with you AB. Thank you for taking us on this journey. What music did you have playing in the house growing up?
Freddie had 4 extra teeth that caused his over bite and refused to have them pulled as he thought it would alter his voice. He also had a large upper pallet which allowed him to have the best singing range ever. He was also classically. Freddie was a once in a lifetime phenomenon that will never be replicated. I absolutely loved this group and was fortunate to grow up with them in the 70’s and 80’s.
Like everyone else said- the live Montreal performance is the one you should do next (💜 that “outfit” from Freddie). After that work your way through the Live Aid set list. So you are fully prepared to react to Live Aid.
Set list-
Bohemian Rhapsody
Radio GaGa
Hammer to fall
Crazy little thing called love
We will Rock You
We are the Champions.
As always, this was a GREAT reaction!
Edit: If I remember correctly you told another subscriber that you know We will Rock you/We are the Champions. You just didn’t know they were by Queen. So that means you are only three reactions away from knowing the entire set list. I’m so exited about that!
Perfect example of why 70’s music is AMAZING!! Write, arrange, play music and sing WITHOUT computers! True artists!
If you want sheer "show-offery" from Freddie give "The Great Pretender" a listen. Pure Freddie.
This song really shows Freddie Mercury's vocal range. We lost a truly gifted musician when AIDS took him from this world on November 24, 1991.
Queen’s 1985 LIVE AID concert. Legendary performance.
These are older reaction.....but I keep going back.
You are still great. GOAT material.
Great to see people come to this new and be blown away. We lost him too soon.
Backup singers are his bandmate Freddy Mecury was a hell of a performer
We kidded bout Freddie when I was a kid, but as I grew up, I had to recognize. Dude was one of the best vocalists in Rock history and his band was incredible. God bless you, Brother. Keep rocking and loving life
Great reaction! More Queen please thx
He has passed away but what a talent he had!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥
This a studio video with some shots from live shows.
Freddie Mercury lead singer, piano and guitar.
Brian May, lead guitar, keyboards, vocals.
Roger Taylor, drums and vocals. They say he hits those dog whistle notes.
John Deacon bass guitar and some vocals, but he has said he can't sing.
One of the, if not the best concerts I've ever seen in my nearly 60 yrs on the orb. 1982, Seattle Center. Blew this 18-year-old kid's mind. Freddie owned the stage like nobody I've seen since.
The live performance is amazing but this studio performance shows the talent...one mic ...one ..perfect unison . Shows what went into recording in the good old days ...just 4 dudes making the most incredible sounds ...no auto tune ..no special effects ..no costumes or dancers ...just queen. .
You will never hear anyone better than Freddie Mercury- before auto tune- all raw talent- especially LIVE!! Queen-
Look up Queen singing in 8D!! You think they are stomping inside your head-
This group is fabulous.
The studio version is great, but you must see the live version from 1981 in Montreal!! Mind blowing!!! Freddie is the ultimate performer and Queen is arguably the BEST live band ever. Their live performances are insane.
They met in university. And the guitarist who had you um-ing and ah-ing is also a world-renowned ASTRO PHYSIST...um and ah INDEED. The drummer does most if the falsettos too.
Those “background vocalists” are the drummer and guitar players!! Wonderfully talented group
Brian May CBE is the lead guitarist, has a beautiful voice and fun fact, is also an astrophysicist.
Roger Taylor OBE is the drummer(also has an absolutely seraphic voice-check it out when he does "Under Pressure" with Adam Lambert).
John Deacon is the Bassist, and retired after Freddie's passing.
They all have beautiful voices that harmonise well together.
If you've not seen it, I highly recommend you watch Queen's Live Aid performance. It's quite possibly the most perfect live performance ever, from the timing, sound, vocals, everything.
Must be seen LIVE !! No contest 👍
Ok I’m doing that asap lol 😂
One study on Freddie's vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves!
congrats on new equipment. Freddie Mercury is Queen.
Ok 👍🏾 thank you 🙏🏾
I love both this and the live version immensely. Both are fantastic. Great reactions
Thank you 🙏🏾
Heros get remembered, but LEGENDS never die....RIP Freddie 🙏
Freddie Mercury (vocals)
John Deacon (Bass)
Brian May (guitar)
Roger Taylor (Drums)
All sing too...amazing!!!
Listen to Freddie sing Barcelona,
Radio Ga Ga
I started listening to you today. I watched you cover 2 Righteous Brothers songs and a couple from Queen. I wanted you to know, I am a white man and I thoroughly enjoy your facial expressions when you hear something you love. I am from that era of Queen and also listened to many older entertainers from the 60's on up. Hearing Unchained Melody from the Righteous Brothers brought to mind a vocalist from a period of the mid 80's (perhaps earlier) Aaron Neville. I thought he was the one who invented that style of "crooning", but it seems I was wrong. Thank you for bringing this amazing music to light for the younger generations! Keep doing what you do, Sir!
👏👏👏👏🤟🤟🤟!!! Go FREDDY!! He's a LEGEND!!💝💝🥰
Your next QUEEN should be Queen Live Aid the full 20 minutes! It will blow you away! GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🥰
Queen 😍😍😍😍😍😍 they're the Simply Made of orange juice
I'd also recommend "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" - those are two I'd bet you've heard before!
From Montreal 81 with Freddie in shorts 🥰
This is Freddie's Tribute to Aretha Franklin. He adored her.
Oh nice 👍🏾
We are the Champions,Another one bites the dust, so many
The whole rainbow concert is worth listening to. The sound is great
Great Reaction & I agree w/Deborah in the comments below! I'm also happy you did the Official Studio Video first. BUT NOW do the same song (trust us, the experience will be so worth it), "Somebody To Love, LIVE IN MONTREAL1981" version! In it, you'll see the power of Queen, and Freddie Mercury, live performances even better than the studio!.
There's only one Freddie... but for another amazing version of this song, check out Jordan Smith's Voice performance. It was live, with a choir, and is widely considered the the most EPIC Voice performance ever.
If you're going down the Queen rabbit hole, I'm coming! They are mindblowing live. One Vision alive at Wembley 1986. There's a great medley beginning with In the Lap of The Gods right after that, sequeing into Seven Seas of Rhye and finishing with Tear It Up! Practically anything from that concert is awwesome, but Freddie really gets the crowd going with Another One Bites the Dust! BTW, all four band members wrote #1 hits!
every member of this band has a voice in Queen
Live version of this song! Montreal 1981! Pleaseeee
Ohhh I’ve been told and it will happen
Queen must be enjoyed in headphones or a car stereo so you can hear them standing in front, beside, and behind you!
The more Queen the more I love
They are all legends Freddie is immortal
. Please fall down the rabbit hole of Freddie Mercury and queen. That man had such great range and was so creative I know you would love his stuff.
Please please do anything/everything LIVE by Queen. This song live in Montreal will blow you away.
I'm happy to see you drop your jaw now and then and forget that it is not your show - well it is - but you are a reactor not a co-performer. That is when I know that something really blew your mind.
You really can't go wrong with Queen. Just so you know. They are one band that is generally really good or better live. ❤✌
Nice reaction. Freddie Mercury lead singer and pianist, Brian May guitar and vocals, Roger Taylor drums and vocals and John Deacon Bass and some vocals.
Freddie was inspired by Aretha for this song he loved her
The story behind this recording is awesome....how many times Freddie made everyone do hundreds of overdubs for it. It's just the 4 of them.
If you really want to have the queen experience you should watch the live aid queen section. This little section is still considered today the best live performance of all time and of every musicians, not only by queen fans. It's only 20 minutes long but you won't forget it.
" Love of my Life"💗
I think the videos are best to watch as they change it up so much in a live concert. 👍 but this is a blast of a song in real version. When he hits that high note..OMG.I LOVE YOU DOING THE FREDDY!😂 keep up the songs and laughs. New fan here. 😊
You can throw a dart at Queen's catalog & you'll choose a great song.
Some standard songs that you need to acquaint yourself with, though: "We Will Rock You", "Another One Bites the Dust" and "We are the Champions"
Me again.😬 I just want to say I really like how much you are enjoying these songs.
Great reaction! Legendary Band!
In my opinion you can never be wrong by turning it up! 😁
Queen was fabulous. Brian May, the guitarist, is not just a guitar player but a literal Astrophysicist!!
You are obviously fairly new to Queen, so a quick run down, members are Freddie Mercury, lead singer piano and occasional guitar. Brian May, lead guitar and vocals. Roger Taylor, drums and vocals. John Deacon, bassist and fewer vocals (but wrote some great songs and baselines). In return for all this info I would kindly ask you to react to Live Aid 1985.
Greatest band of all time.
Anyway you can make it where we can see your cute smile too? Thank you for all the great content. My life is crap right now and watching your videos brings a smile even thru tears. Thank you. 💜
Oooooweeeeee! Pass that orange juice!!!!
It took Freddie a while (and many tries) to find that somebody to love, but he found him in 1985, and they were together until Freddie's death in 1991. They called each other husband
Check out their performance in Live Aid. Terrific!
Freddie Mercury lead singer, piano, Dr Brian May lead guitar & vocals, Roger Taylor drums & vocals, John Deacon bass guitar sometimes vocals best band ever Queen ❤️yes please react to the live version from Montreal x
That "high note in the background" was the guitar!
Welcome to Freddy Land... We've been waiting for you ❤️
You should hear the songs he did with Montserrat Caballé. She was an amazing opera singer. Those are probably my favorite❤❤
Freddie was the best front man ever. The voice the moves and his ability to grab the audience and keep them memorized.
Queen and Phil Collins, two of my favorite groups/people. I raised my daughter on 1970's to 1980's groups and people. Amazing what was old is now new. I enjoy bands and individuals who can SING in person, not have to prance around on stage with background dancers, and who are nice people. Compare Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with Pentatonix's version. Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, heard it and gave them his blessing.
After you've done Somebody to Love Live in Montreal, you have to do White Queen Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975!! Your ears will thank you!
Or "Under Pressure" it was a big hit!
