He was gay
Listen to rainbow 74 in the lap of the gods roger owns that "aahhhhhh"
Indeed that's always been a neverending debate. I'm positive he was a tenor: neither his speaking voice nor his singing matched that of a baritone. Montserrat's comment could be a misquote or she simply didn't take enough time to study his voice and properly classify it.

Well I was just trying to see if anyone would go for the bait (as this has been one of those muchly-argued topics over the years) but thanks for the food-for-thought.
I always rather figured that those definitions were more aimed at classical singing? I never found them very valid concerning Freddie, or other rock singers, who *really* don't do opera very well in the traditional sense.
I'm not bagging his work on Barcelona for a second; I loved it. However.... it really is just a rock singer singing prettier songs.

I loved 'Barcelona' too, but I'm aware that it shows that Montserrat's technique goes light years beyond Freddie's. Since pop/rock singers usually employ head voice most of the time, rather than chest, indeed the ranges involved are different, and so are the tracks themselves. Freddie was an extraordinary vocalist but of course he'd got loads of flaws.

Actually on Sheer Heart Attack there are many vocal parts by Roger that we as Humans cannot hear. Play the album and watch your dog carefully, particularly Tenement Funster.

Roger has an infinite range.
