Man, I listen to him sing on his albums and it is amazing.
Live however, he NEVER hits notes he did in the studio. A lot of songs make me go "wow" when I listen to them on cd. When I watch queen live, it is a letdown. Under Pressure, Who Wants To Live Forever, pretty much EVERY Queen song actually.....He avoids ALL the high notes and makes his drummer sing them.
I have a feeling he was a fraud singer. Can't hit the notes live so used studio tricks to make his voice higher. To seem better than it actually was.

lol at this post.
lmao, yes he was a lead singer of Fraud in the mid 80's.
He DID hit the notes live pretty often actually. But his voice changed during the tours and indeed, during the last shows he usually sounded pretty weak
Plus he had vocal nodules (which causes vocal stamina problems and vocal register issues--like the mixed voice not working properly, or random vocal breaks).
On the other hand, there's many performances where he reaches his notes (Radio Ga Ga from Live being an example--he completely nails the vocals, Crazy Tour stuff, etc).

No way. Just listen to the note in under pressure. he couldn't hit that note no way. It has to be studio tampering making it seem higher

Are you a Queen fan actually?
The only note I would think that Freddie didn't hit in the studio was towards the end of Was It All Worth It. His register certainly was deeper by that time.
he was a good singer but still overestimated
