Freddie was top level. His life with Queen was him letting the world in on his life. And with passion and conviction, it is so good. He wore his heart on his sleeve. I do too but with all the naysayers.... I say good for you but not for me. Miss you Freddie!
Let's be honest, every song in the Barcelona Album is out of this world!!! Joining Freddie's vocals and Montserrat is beyond angelic and true mastery. These 2 outstanding souls were made to sing together and show the world that it was ok to join rock and opera. In fact, it was majestic, regal even. A true match for Freddie. And still, he fills the stage, so much emotion. I missed your Queen/Freddie reactions. Great one
What a surprise to all ,as Freddie's talent is endless and he can carry-on with any genre. This collaboration made history. Freddie and Mike Moran wrote the music and Freddie presented it to us. Freddie and Monserrat Caballe were a musical marriage...Thank god it happened in my life time.
Freddie was a long time fan of Montserrat and was thrilled when she suggested they do an entire album together. He wrote all the songs with Mike Moran, and every one of them is a masterpiece. Freddie’s PA Peter Freestone said the closest he’d ever seen him in tears, was when he said “The best voice in the world is singing my music”. You can choose any song from the Barcelona album and you’ll be amazed
Motserrat Caballé era de otro mundo y junto a Freddie te llevaban a otra galaxia, pero lo que se nota mucho en este video era la admiración y cariño mutuo que se tenían...
Great reaction. The whole Barcelona album is a masterpiece. If you have not reacted to Barcelona, Guide me Home & How Can I Go On you should try it. Its spine chilling.
Guide Me Home and How Can I Go On are two outstanding pieces. Beautifully sung. Very emotional to listen to when one remembers the future Freddie knew he faced.
You should watch The Jukebox Interview..or Last Interview its also called. Freddie tells about meeting Monsterat..he is so giddy..I love it. He also talks about his cover of The Great Pretender. Its a great interview! Freddie said he thought he would need to tame down his theatrical mannerisms...til he seen her perform and she was showing him up...lol
My favorite song from the Barcelona album!! The lyrics were written by Broadway mogul Tim Rice!! Freddie said he “ran out of lyrics”. 🤣 Tim Rice also wrote the lyrics for THE FALLEN PRIEST. Freddie wrote the music for the whole album!! Montserrat Caballe was Freddie’s favorite opera diva. 🌹🌹🌹
@@JeffreyHackReacts YES!! With Mike Moran on piano! There’s a demo Freddie sent to Montsy called EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE (on the album it’s called ENSUENO). Check it out it’s what convinced Montserrat that their collaboration would be a musical love affair!!
I don't think Montsy ever had so much fun on the stage as she did with Freddie! They had a real love for each other, and she really was there for him till the end.
As well as many other fabulous songs on this Barcelona album please listen to just Freddie with Exercises in free love, tones only, no words. The B side to his Great Pretender single. This was shown to Montserrat and she adored it. So much so she did words to it and performed it fir the first time in front of Freddie in the theatre.... it then became Ensueno and they both sing. The range in Freddie's voice is phenomenal.
Hi Jeffrey! I've already missed your Queen/Freddie reactions, but this one was great again. Freedie and Mike Moran composed a whole duet album with beautiful music and lyrics. In case of 2 songs they asked Sir Tim Rice to write the lyrics and these were the Golden Boy and the other one is the Fallen Priest. Don't miss it out! Or you can try the demo version called Rahcmaninov's revenge (later version) in which Freddie was singing Montserrat's parts. I mean, he was singing both parts. Amazing surprise!
Thanks! Such a complimentary piece for their voices in tandem. Freddie and Montsy were amazing together. He told her about his illness. He told her he didn’t think he should kiss her hand. She said nonsense. We are performers and we play our parts. He wasn’t sure his voice was nearly good enough compared to her more formally trained one. She said Freddie just sing! I love your voice.
Freddie Mercury fué un genio musical. No era solamente la voz que todos conocen... fué su creatividad, osadía, incursionar en multiplicidad de géneros con éxito, no solo desde la interpretación, si no que desde la composición. Fué musicalmente increíble.
Their 'Barcelona' album is a favorite of all my Freddie Mercury involved music. Soulful, exciting, soothing, surprising. Thanks for sharing your insight. Loved the attention.
Another brilliant Freddie song. A great mix that only Freddie accomplished. Only he could do this remarkable combination and make it work. Brilliant!!! In every way.
Jeffrey... YOU. MADE. MY. DAY!! THANK YOU for reacting to this, it's my FAVORITE of Freddie/Montserrat's (aka Montsie's) Barcelona album video performances💕 REQUESTS: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Add to your Reaction To-Do List: "EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE" (Original 1987 Demo, NOT remastered version; you can hear Freddie better in the original because there's less orchestration... This is Fred singing the SOPRANO part he had written for Montsie to sing later) "ENSUENO" (The finished duet w Fred/Montsie; Fred singing Operatic Baritone this time.)
Great reaction, I am glad you did this song! This masterpiece, with the different sections, very Freddie like to combine opera and gospel. It seems like you enjoyed the song at the end, you should check it out, it is from Freddie's other solo album. The song is Living On My Own, check out the remixed version, it was actually a no.1 hit.
Jeffrey react please to queen Who wants to live forever official version it's beautiful.❤ there's beautiful surprise It's from Highlander movie Brian wrote it and it's beautiful symphony. One of my favourite songs. I think that you will like it it's about immortal Scottish man who feel in love with mortal women she died in his arms. Song isn't about Freddie although he got later in 1987 diagnosed with aids
Freddie fell in love with her voice the first time he heard her sing and had to meet her.
Makes complete sense. Her voice is outstanding!
Freddie was top level. His life with Queen was him letting the world in on his life. And with passion and conviction, it is so good. He wore his heart on his sleeve. I do too but with all the naysayers.... I say good for you but not for me. Miss you Freddie!

I missed your Queen/Freddie reactions. Great one
I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! Yeah, it'd been a while since I made a Queen reaction so I thought I'd make another one 😄
So agree with you.
YES Freddie WROTE THIS ROCK OPERA SHE IS THE WORLD ACCLAIMED...OPERA SINGER... Montserrat Cabellé!
He still fills up the entire stage - only Freddie.
What a surprise to all ,as Freddie's talent is endless and he can carry-on with any genre. This collaboration made history. Freddie and Mike Moran wrote the music and Freddie presented it to us. Freddie and Monserrat Caballe were a musical marriage...Thank god it happened in my life time.

You can feel their friendship and admiration for each other. Joyful music.
AGREED! That's one of the aspects that made their performance so special!

Great reaction. The whole Barcelona album is a masterpiece. If you have not reacted to Barcelona, Guide me Home & How Can I Go On you should try it. Its spine chilling.
Here is my reaction to Barcelona! ruclips.net/video/wxw0HhNgoao/видео.html I'm glad you enjoyed this reaction 😄
Guide Me Home and How Can I Go On are two outstanding pieces. Beautifully sung. Very emotional to listen to when one remembers the future Freddie knew he faced.
Montserrat is considered by many the soprano of the 20thC
She deserves the title!
This was Freddie's last giant gift to the world before he passed.
Live on Freddie ❤
😍😍😍😍 from Spain
Every song from Barcelona album is unique , I love all of them, thank you for this reaction💕
Of course! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😄
Супер Фредди!
i met "montsy" and heard her performing live in our historical townhall ... she needed no microphone! that was stunning awesome! ♥
With a voice like hers, you're right, she doesn't need a microphone!
You should watch The Jukebox Interview..or Last Interview its also called. Freddie tells about meeting Monsterat..he is so giddy..I love it. He also talks about his cover of The Great Pretender. Its a great interview!
Freddie said he thought he would need to tame down his theatrical mannerisms...til he seen her perform and she was showing him up...lol

Like Freddie wrote the entire orchestration?
@@JeffreyHackReacts YES!! With Mike Moran on piano! There’s a demo Freddie sent to Montsy called EXERCISES IN FREE LOVE (on the album it’s called ENSUENO). Check it out it’s what convinced Montserrat that their collaboration would be a musical love affair!!
I don't think Montsy ever had so much fun on the stage as she did with Freddie! They had a real love for each other, and she really was there for him till the end.
She definitely had a ball, but the wonderful thing about Montserrat Caballé is that she just exudes joy wherever she goes.
As well as many other fabulous songs on this Barcelona album please listen to just Freddie with Exercises in free love, tones only, no words. The B side to his Great Pretender single.

Как сложно Фредди спокойно стоять на месте! 😄 Энергия бьет через край, а сценический образ требует спокойно стоять.
Gracias, por recordarme esta actuación, la tenía totalmente olvidada, un pecado tremendo
I love your reactions. ❤
Freddie can sing anything.
He was born to sing and entertain ❤🤴❤🤴
Agreed! A legendary singer!

Haha nice!!
Madeline Bell who was part of the band “Blue Mink” is the person with the high notes in the choir🤩
Beautiful! There was a huge mutual admiration between the two of them. There is an interview outdoors with them on RUclips that was very interesting.
Oh really?? I'll have to check it out!
Mercury was a genious
Now it's getting real. This is the best
Haha thanks! It was quite the video to watch!

"Ensueno" is uplifting. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed!
I remember it well. Did I Tell ya I'm old rocker? LOL Keep up the good work and follow your dreams.
