Was Freddie Mercury a fraud singer?

@ radiogugu - I'd like to hear you do better! Freddie had truly incredible vocal talent both in the studio and on stage.

Although indeed a legend, Freddie was a human being no less than anyone else and so had limitations. You can't expect a man who gives his all to be consistent to such a precise level - especially live.

So would Brian and Roger.  They might give you a call.

Or you could start your own Fraud band.

Fraud=deception deliberately practiced...
trick
cheat
impostor
Would you be so kind to be more explicit?
Which of the synonyms do you have in mind? A truism for you: always but always a studio version will sound better than the same song sung live.Human voice is the most delicate and sensible of all the instruments , it can be altered so easily due to , for example, a wild life style , which we all know Freddie had. All that had to be proved Freddie proved, no need of fraud commentators to doubt his performances.

Freddie in the studio had to sing one song
during the concert around 27
Freddie in the second part of the 80's he had problems with the voice nodules
and all we know, had to save the voice, during Magic Tour was able to sing those high notes for example, A Kind Of Magic in Newcastle or Who Wants To Live Forever in Stockholm ;)

Yes he was a fraud. He also had a girlfriend called Mary Austin, so he wasn't even totally gay as he had everyone believe. Furthermore, his real name was Farrokh Bulsara, not Freddie Mercury. It was all a tissue of lies. It wouldn't surprise me if his moustache was fake too.

Don't forget the novelty teeth. Or the the microphone stand to nowhere.

no

Yeah agree with Gregsynth during the last shows the only notes he could sing were ALT : F4

Of course and lots of fake fans carrying forward the entire fraudulent ordeal.

And that PAINFUL "English" accent. Please! Nice try Fred. You can take the boy out of New Jersey, but you can't take New Jersey out of the boy.

Seems everyone has to resort to sarcastic responses instead of answering my question. So I guess freddie did in fact tamper studio notes. he certainly cannot do under pressure notes or who wants to live forever notes lives in their original form. hell, lambert atleast does it live. Lambert at least doesn't wimp out live. He certainly sings circles around freddie in live performances

Well if you write sarcastic posts, you'll get sarcastic answers!

Lambert screams to reach notes--and has terrible live pitch. Being ON KEY and sounding good is better than yelling to reach the top notes and being off key.

Absolutely. He's was actually the band's Persian poodle trimmer, but they used him as a miming frontman because of his appeal to homosexuals. Meanwhile Adam Lambert and Paul Rodgers were standing in the wings doing the actual vocals. Then in 1991 a huge poodle kennel made him an offer he just couldn't refuse, so they made up the whole AIDS thing (frauds again!) and when the fuss dies down they finally brought Rodgers and Lambert out front. Incidentally, the guitar, bass and drums on the studio albums were actually played by Kajagoogoo.

Very interesting information Fireplace!

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren't an obnoxious troll. Now, I can't give you the benefit of the doubt that you are pre-lobotomy, however.

Back in the 70s and early 80s studio tricks were quite primitive. Today you can make anyone sound good with pitch shifting and countless software.

Freddie DID hit those notes sometimes. When they recorded in the studio his voice was well-rested and he could sing it over and over again until he was satisfied. Interestingly, in his final sessions he only did two takes and he hits an amazing note in "Mother Love"
