I just caught Freddie's voice going completely out of tune on the Earl's Court '77 performance of 'Death On Two Legs'.
Pay attention to the part where he says...
" You're just an overgrown SCHOOHHOL BOHHHY!! "

His voice fucked up all the time. he sucked live
And there are people who think Earls Court is Queen's best performance.
all singers make mistakes live.
it is unavoidable when singing loud rock music. and impossible [especially when doing long tours] to be in perfect tuning all the time. they are using their body, so it is like a sportsman at the end of a long season, their bodies are knackered
i personally have never heard a better live rock singer than freddie mercury.
picking out one or two lines where a singer is out of tune is rather petty in my opinion.

Even at Live Aid, on WATC, on the end chorus, he goes out of tune. I notice it every time. But his overall performance of that song, and the entire set list, his voice, showmanship...all make that a momentary miniscule molehill.
You bastards.
Freddie was the very definition of perfection! How dare you criticize him! YOU try getting up in front of thousands of people every night and try not to fuck up! Good lord, you'd think you people never sang in a rock band before! You should be burned alive at the stake! I hope you...
Eh, my sarcasm wore out.

The occasional unexpected 'yodle' must be every professional singers nightmare, but it happens, and they forget it and get on with the show. Freddie was one of the greatest vocalists of our time, but everyone fucks up once in a while.
The worst one I heard Freddie do was on the original boot of Milton Keynes, during Fat Bottoms, when he went right off during the line "Ain't no beauty queens in this lOOOcality". Fortunately, it was repaired for the official release.

Yodeling was completely prohibited for rock/pop singers until Jewel came along...
...then it was OK to yodel as long as there were a nice pair of melons to look at.
