Freddie was honored in the opening of the Rock in Rio 2011

I heard a rumour that at the Superbowl, Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson and the dead guy from Boney M are going to do Bohemian Rhapsody as a tribute.

All right I made that up, but I think we all get that this guy is a national singing hero in Brazil, but that doesn't mean he should have been trying to sing Freddie.

I say the same thing about American icons like the modern day Brian Wilson (sings tone deaf) and Bob Dylan (voice is shot).

in the WHOLE WORLD ??? no one better than that shit?? incredible

maybe instead of you getting lost time with useless things like cursing the Milton you do not lose time getting to know his work, so can speak with knowledge? and find out what's Rock in Rio...

swear I'm trying to be patient, but there are people here that are worse than the British press when he criticized the Queen!
OH MY FUCKIN GOD. THE REAL TRIBUTE WAS NOT THIS MILTON GUY BUT THE FACT THAT THEY PLAYED CLIPS FROM RIR '85 OF FREDDIE IN ONE OF HIS MOST GLORIOUS MOMENTS 

why is everyone talking about this Milton guy? yes they could have chosen someone better but who the fuck cares when you had an amazing tribute right before it. He didn't ruin anything.

OK, don't want to pile on here but I think there would have been slightly better results if somebody had dug up Freddie and sent him out to honour Milton..

For those who want to know Milton Nascimento when he could sing (and very well), search for "Clube da Esquina I & II" and the album "Minas".

This opening was  a kind of homage to Freddie, Queen and Milton Nascimento, it wasn't meant to be Marc Martel doing some Freddie impersonation.

ok it is easy to understand that i was saying that the man was a shit, well i could not say that for any human.

BUT the thing that came out was a pure shit.

english press talked too bad about queen and they were wrong cos they could play well and FREDDIE COULD SING WONDERFULLY

ps you look charming nadia ;)

Well.. apart from the obvious fact that they couldn't 'dig him up' because he was cremated.. that made me laugh like a mofo'. Very 'Freddie' humour actually. :)

Look, it's a shame he couldn't manage it. They clearly wanted to do it out of admiration for Queen, that's fine. Just a shame it didn't go as planned.

My name isn't nadia... is Fernanda (Nanda)! hehehehehe!!!!!

I just want you to think how to be sad for Milton one day having already sung beautifullyand now can not sing so well for health reasons ...

I do not know in your country, but here in Brazil we greatly appreciate the feeling of compassion with our artists ... In a country so full of inequities as ours, these people that allow us to be more happy through music are valuable treasures!

here also lost two rock legends because of AIDS, a man named Cazuza (died in 1990and was the first singer to assert that he had the HIV virus) and another man calledRenato Russo (who died In 1996), both homosexual and fantastic lyricists like Freddie!
(these two singers is very worthwhile to know, look!)

you do not feel sad to think that all these "treasures" of our music are dying or getting oldso that they can not sing anymore?

I think  : (

and thanks for the compliment ;)
