Most Passionate Vocal Moment by Freddie

I have to disagree with you and say that show must go on might be his best vocals ever. It sounds tremendously beautiful

Let me make it clear. TSMGO is AMAZING!! It's so beautiful that it makes me cry every now and then, and I'd give my life if I could sing like he did in this song, and I consider it one of his most passionate moments, but in comparison with other albums his voice is not that great (as it was between Jazz and The Miracle, IMHO).

Really? You really think that between those years that his vocals was better than TMSGO? I think his voice on show must go on is the most beautiful vocals from him. It sounds so spot on , the tone is super pure , his vibrato is insane and his range is CRAZY. All mixed togheter perfectly. He makes it look so easy singing that song , like its nothing to him.

a winters tale.
its allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll           so buteful.
perfect

About Freddie's late period voice, particularly songs like TSMGO, Mother Love and A winter's tale... they are amazing, without a doubt. He reaches very high notes and he does it beautifully.

Still, I also enjoy mid to late 70's Freddie voice more. Innuendo Freddie sounds too nasal at times.
The Show Must Go On could be the greatest Queen song and the ultimate Freddie studio moment, but "passionate" is not the first article that comes to mind when I hear it. Extremely powerful, death defiant, plainly awesome... That's more like it.

Somebody to Love at Milton Keynes and Love of My Life at Wembley mainly because Mary was there and Freddie was singing it for her and it showed

==================================

Interesting, I've never heard that before.  Is this documented somewhere?
Mary must have been at all the late European Hot Space gigs because he sings it nearly the same as he did during that era.

I'm going slightly mad, this one is fred in extended excellent vocal.

Like the lyrics though.

OK, let's live TSMGO aside because it's something out of this world, but I've been thinking about this: what if what I consider Freddie's weakened, nasal voice in Innuendo is actually a poor mixing? Because A winter's tale and Mother love were recorded more or less at the same time but in both of them he sounds great.

On the 2nd disk of the wembly disk mary is seen backstage and to me it does sound like Freddie sang Love of My Life with a lot of passion on that particular day

The breadth of the responses here is a testament to the fact that if a song required passion, Freddie could and did deliver it. What about if we flipped the question on it's head a bit?  Are there any songs where Freddie 'missed' at all in delivery?  Two very quickly off the top of my head might be 'Who Wants to Live Forever', which for me descended to the overwrought at times,  and 'Too Much Love Will Kill You'.  The latter is not a favourite of mine for a few reasons, but I think Brian captured the feel a song like that needs better than Freddie did.

It could be a mixing thing but i donno , maybe he changed the way he sang , like more strained throat singing or something. I actually think A winters tale togheter with You dont fool me is the most nasal ive heard Freddie sing.

Mother love doesnt sound so nasaly. But either way nasaly or not , i think it sounds super nice. I actually prefer his "nasaly" voice if you wanna call it that , that is on the innuendo album. I feel like his voice was the best towards the end.
