A stupid question about John Deacon, bust just thought I'll ask...

I was just wondering, if he never sang with Brian, Roger and Freddie in the recording studios, why does he mime in the videos and the concerts?

Any suggestions?

Stupid, I know, but I just had to ask.

for effect, nothing more, nothing less

look at other bands vids - nearly everyone "sings"
but not in reality

There is one piece of evidence for John singing that I know of. If you watch the Earls Court 77 show, during Liar when you get the 'All Day Long' bits, all four guys join in, and you can REALLY tell which one s John. No wonder he never did it again after that. But hey, he still probably sounds better than Roger 'Gargling with razor blades and bleach' Taylor!

Just to look great I guess, it's better to have ALL of them singin, not just 3 and one is not.
Or maby he likes to sing along but doesn't want it to be heard.

You can hear John very well at Milan 1984, during Radio GaGa. I think he sings quite well, not bad at all...

When he stays and just play - you ask 'why he does not do nothing at all?'
When he sings - you ask 'why does he sing?'
Etc. etc. etc.

So, guys, what John should do for no more questions about his actions?!

Agreed...

John could sing fine, he was just far too embarrased and shy to do so in public.

It's true on the "Story of Bohemian Rhapsody" Roy Thomas Baker tells that John could actually sing but never did so on studio recordings because he didn't like his own voice.

Oh yeah and like mentioned before, you can hear very well on Somebody To Love at Earls Court that John is singing.
