Ok so we have all tried to emulate Freddie - but what is the hardest vocal?
Personally I would say Another One Bites The Dust or I Want to Break Free.
Which songs have you tried (on karaoke) and thought "oh shit!"

The Prophet's Song or Let Me Enterain You
Yes but who would try to sing the Prophet's Song on their own - and have you found it on a karaoke!!!! - lucky you!!
Scandal
HMMMM basically all! I feel so terible when I sing his songs. But I do every chance I get! LOL

hardest would probably be 'The Show Must Go On'
I can sing that one, but i have to go an octave down... It's REALLY high!
I can rarely sing a whole song, it either goes too high or low for me...
All flasetto songs...like Cool cat. For a man it's very hard to sing this. Personally I'm a soprano, which means I can sing quite high, and I even find it hard to sing, so Freddie was amazing to sing this !
I would also say that all complex songs, like Liar and March of the Black Queen, plus "musical comedy" songs like Bring back that Leroy Brown, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Millionnaire Waltz, were probably quite hard to sing, because Freddie had to take very different voice keys in the same song, which is hard to do in the time of one song.
And I guess The Show Must Go On was also hard to sing, especially if we consider Freddie's state at the moment he recorded it.
I think Freddie had to sing a lot of different hard songs in his career, which he did in an amazing, wonderful way - and considering the fact he never took singing lessons, we can say he was totally the best singer in the world

The Prophet's Song, The Show Must Go On and maybe songs like My Fairy King or March Of The Black Queen. And Pain Is So Close To Pleasure and Cool Cat, since it's hard to get falsetto to sound decent.
Maybe it's just me but I find most Queen songs fairly easy to sing. Then again, they sound good to me but maybe not to anyone else. The operatic section of Bo Rhap is hard of course.
Teo Torriatte and Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
They have low notes that are kind of difficult to sing.

tried 'dead on time' once, murder it was.
As far as SMGO even brian and Roger have destroyed that one a few times.
And as as far as 'IWTBF' goes never understood why roger walloped that one in his solo tours, i thought he was terrible at it.

Anyone got info on how exactly to sing without losing breath
The Hero, ( studio version ).
I can almost manage TSMGO but near the end where Freddie sings "I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving in" I can't sing the "on with the show" that comes after it, unless I belt it out so I can hit the note otherwise it's too high !
Oh and I just cannot manage I'm In Love With My Car, Roger's vocals are soooooooooooooo hard to match !!!
