It's been replaced because the original line was not the original line!!!!!! It was an overdub!!!!!!
The new version is most probably the original vocal from the night
So they overdubbed that one line for the original? Begs the same question of why.

Either that, or the entire old lead vocal was an overdub, in which case they used almost all of it for the new restoration, restoring only 'wanna try' to the vocal from the night. That's even weirder.
No!!! They overdubbed the entire song. They overdubbed the whole of Now I'm Here, they overdubbed the whole of In The lap Of The Gods Revisited, they overdubbed most of the bloody show!
This new version appears to be mostly free of overdubs (except the 3 part harmonies) but has a fair bit of pitch correction.
You're completely ignoring this:

Here's a mix with the old sound in the left channel, and the new release in the right channel. It's clearly the same night, but they've simply cut in the "wanna try?" line from another recording, possibly the other night. Otherwise there are not that many edits in this song, except for some intonation fixes on some of the high notes.

Have a listen:

It's indisputable proof that the new version, at least of Killer Queen, is predominately using the old (overdubbed, you insist) lead vocal. What I want to know, then, is why on earth revert to the raw vocal for 'wanna try'?
I remember Gregsynth claiming that while there had been harmony overdubs to the VHS, the lead vocals were probably untouched. But I guess we can't know that for sure - and it's an interesting theory. The phrasing is extremely similar between the VHS and the forthcoming release version though (except of course fot the "wanna try?" line)
It seems there's use of some (overdone) autotuning on the March show. For the November shows, they had two recordings so there's some editing involved - they used a lot of different takes from what we've heard before. The audio in the Blu-ray/DVD is quite raw, and I love it. There're even some minor 'mistakes' left in.

Wait a moment - the CD has a DIFFERENT mix than the DVD/BD?

The "wanna try" line on the new mix is the raw live vocal, the old VHS one was an overdub, THAT'S why it sounds so different.
Sometimes I also think people mistake Freddie's '74 tone for autotuning

Really? Can you give an example of this?

Wonder why they overdubbed it in the first place. It's a cool phrasing.

Well your wrote they have done a lots of editing on the November show but on the DVD/BD the audio is "quite raw", which sounded like you're talking about 2 different mixes. That's the reason for my confused question :-)

Probably to make it sound more similar to the studio version. Lots of theories.

Some painfully obvious auto tuning in MOTBQ - have a listen at the word "right". Hope this can remove your doubt Nitroboy.
