Yeah - one of the very rare occasions where Freddie (and the band's) judgement on what was required for a part was not up to scratch. Apart from the first half of the first verse, where the delivery is more restrained and melancholy, It really is 'oversung' and could do with being reigned in. A rarity in that it's a song that even Freddie had trouble singing (God knows what wnyone else would do to it then!!)

Although I am.not a music scientist,I am sure that's a high note,although I prefer the high note near the end of the fallen priest,other subject that one year of love surely is not the typical ballad singing from Freddie, but surely another singer maybe would screw thesong,but I don't know if the usual mellow singing of Freddie would suit that song .I also would like to mention that in innuendo Freddie hadn't had that grunchy voice that had on the miracle album ,i think that had to do with his disease, what do you think?

It was a combination of his disease (sadly) and his improved technique that gave Freddie his "Innuendo voice." He lost quite a bit of his vocal power (especially in his chest voice), so to compensate, he started to sing with a lighter voice (almost like his 70s style) and used more head voice to reach higher notes (rather than mix more chest into them).
