Singers with phrasing/technique similar to Freddie's

My vote goes to George Michael.
Of course its been documented he was influenced by him.

Especially in some ballads he carries a simillar dramatic/epic quality.

For example in Mothers Pride tha AAA's and OOO's (especially the high notes) and falsetto are so Freddie IMO.

early R.J.Dio voice..especially Elf years.

My dear stelios,
There is only one Freddie.

That whole rough style of singing in I Want It All reminds me of Roger Daltrey's delivery on Who Are You.

I just squeezed a trump out of my anus that was more Freddie like than Roger 'shit at singing I Want It All' Daltrey and George 'lets re record all the instruments and my vocal on Somebody to Love at the Freddie tribute concert' Michael.

I'm not even comparing Daltrey's performance of I Want It All to Freddie's. I am referring to the gritty / rough approach Daltrey used in Who Are You. Freddie used a similar approach in I Want It All.

Ok... so you are not comparing the same song that both of them sang........ right...... :/

Yes, as weird as that may sound to you. I'm comparing the particular performances not their voices in general.
