Bowie

I have been a fan of Queen and Bowie since 1974.
You can imagine my delight when Under Pressure was released.

Sounded very typical bowie to me!


The gasps and stuff are intentionally left for a less polished but ambient mix

There is nothing new in this vocal style
he has done it before on more recent albums
that fragile frail weaker old man voice

He doesn't have more recent albums. And while he doesn't exactly have to do something 'new' stylistically for it to be good, I would argue that his vocal style on this song is something relatively unusual for him. Very subdued and 'broken' sounding. I challenge you to sing better than David Bowie does now when you're 66 years old.

my favorite version of this song, besides.

Some people can SING. I like DB but he sounds like he'll collapse breatless next moment in all his records lifelong.
