Not sure if this has been discussed before, but it's Roger Taylor singing near the end of Under Pressure with Bowie, not Mercury.

See attached mp3, from the Rock Band stems..

How interesting !



Yes you are right, it's Roger, this has been discussed before you can find that previous post here http://www.queenzone.com/forums/forum_topic_view.aspx?q=1312148

I think most of us prefer the Classic Queen version instead of the original. rawer and cleaner.

Cheers everyone!!!

Please will you direct me in the right way?
Well this is new to me, anyway. I've obviously never listened all the way through the stems of this one - thanks for the info.
I've always wondered who that was singing that and what dya know, it was Roger!
Really people?????
These stems have been available on the net for more than a year now and none of you knew it was Roger?
Good grief - listen to the stems if you have them - every single one from all that are available - it's an amazing listening experience hearing clean (for the most part) recordings of all the instruments and vocals.
I wonder how we couldn't notice this before.
:o
After reading this topic, now every time I play this track I listen Roger's vocals

I brought this up a couple years ago, how Roger's vocals were more pronounced on the CQ mix, and got completely pounced with replies of the didn't-you-know-variety. I love the little cliplet here, though; nice ready-reference to point this out to people who think Queen were a band with three singers, not just one.

I think that info was on my now defunct website, long before the stems surfaced.
John hated Hot Space. Frederick's favourite singer was not Paul Rodgers. Roger didn't compose 'Innuendo.' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' hasn't got 180 vocal overdubs.
