brian's voice

Some people think that. And i can agree with them that his voice is not... great!.. but.. I like some of his songs where he sings.. I couldn't imagine Freddie sing Good Company and Some Day One Day! Actually... SDOD is Brian's greatest vocal apperience...:) Or at least I think so...but I think he's best in the backing vocals..

In live performances it is not great...but studio...it can get really nice! But he hasn't as good control on it as many other singers.

WHAT THE HELL??? brians vioce ROCKS!!!
hell, i'd like to her you sing...

I don't think his voice is womanly, I love Brian very much and I give him credit for getting out their and trying. I like his solo stuff, I have seen live stuff and I agree, it's not great. I think it's more that he is so soft spoken that I have a hard time hearing him over all the music behind him and he strains to be heard. No matter what, I hope he puts out another album, it's been way to long since another world!

I agree... but ironically Sail Away Sweet Sister and All Dead happen to be two of my favorite Queen songs.
And I do like to listen to Driven by You and Starfleet, but i always have this voice in the back of my head thinking "gosh his voice sucks..." and I recall listening to Another World with a friend and he was like, "WHO IS THIS? THe guitar sounds good but the singer is dreadful..." Of course i has to stick up for brian a little bit...but yeah. Its a bit too breathy and wimpy for me.

Maybe he's not good tehnical. He doesn't have good vocal range, but his voice is very nice. I like it very much. I prefer it in studio, he's not a good singer live. His voice fits better to ballads, than to hard rock songs. But I like it.

bris voice is class. got a great range. the man is very talented in all areas

On a lot of songs i prefer BRian over FReddie.


Freddie was a bad singer aswell, he had a great voice, but he wasn't a technical singer at all

There you are right ;)

Bri's voice CAN be quite nasal and strained. However, as some have said, on songs like '39 and Another World he's perfect.

If you want a wicked example of Brian's voice - try his cover of ''(I Don't Want Nobody) Teasin' Around (With Me)''.... fucking awesome. Great vocals and great guitar. Amazing track.

I think Brian has a nice voice because he didn't smoke like the others. Roger's was kinda raspy and... really high sometimes and Freddie's got lower and a bit more nasal-y in his later years. Freddie and Roger rock, but I think Brian's voice is most pure. Freddie was fabulous in the 70s ya know?

Don't eat me for saying that.

Yup, I totaly agree with you guys who think Brian's voice fits with the songs he sing. I like that "gentle" voice of him, I think it makes the song more cozy..

I love Brian's voice. His voice can even be very emotional & rock : "The Business" is the perfect exemple. And the song "Another World" is an example of soft & powerful voice.

When I saw him in Paris, I was very surprised, because he rocked more than I could imagine on LP...

I think Brian's voice often on his solo records struggles to fit with certain songs but with the right song, he is truly incredible. All Dead All Dead is a perfect example of why he is a great singer.

Same with Roger. Listen to Hijack My Heart or Love on a tight rope and you can't imagine anyone more fit for those songs.

Freddie, however, can do anything pretty much perfectly.

For the record, I think Brian and Roger are better than Paul Rodgers on vocals.

i love bri's voice, i agree it's not really rock but on Sail Away Sweet Sister, '39, ect. i think his voice sounds as if it's filled with emotion, that every word he sings is coming from his heart and he really means it. maybe it's just me that thinks that but whatever ! :-p
