Was Freddie really a good person?
Oh, please don't bring up the 'mineshaft' t-shirt. Of course he was a clubber. How he picked up anyone with the haircut he had in that video is another matter, but no-one is disputing that. Correct me if I am wrong, b...

Freddie's Voice
I agree with Oscar J, I like his voice a lot after 1989 onwards, too (I still like it 1980-89, but it's different). I have a slightly different take on the reason for the change... I think that in 1989, despite being...
