Freddies best vocal performance?

Studio: Bohemian Rhapsody - WITHOUT A DOUBT. No contest. He does well on songs like Somebody to Love, but NO ONE can do Bohemian Rhapsody like Freddie Mercury. Look at George Michael he did a pretty good version of Somebody to Love didn't he? You might personally not like his voice, but he hit all the notes and falsettos on key.

But Bohemian Rhapsody - There aren't many singers if any who could sing it perfectly on key like Freddie. Especially the "now I've gone and thrown it ALLLLLLLL away".

Mustapha? Talk it up, the vocals on that song are nothing special. Same as Let Me Entertain You and Dead On Time.

Bohemian Rhapsody - That is the vocal performance that sets Freddie Mercury apart from the rest of the crowd.

Live........ hmmm tough one. Probably Hammersmith 1979 or 1975, those take some beating. Actually it's gotta be Wembley 86, just joking.

Love Of My Life?

oh and guys...can we please not launch houston 77 into immortal status.This is not QZ,it is HoustonZone.

Larry Lurex - Goin' Back and I Can Hear Music.

Dont try so hard & love of my life
They are the best!!

Uh, let me pull out my list, haha:

Bohemian Rhapsody of course is 1
Don't try so hard
In the lap of the gods (both versions)
Keep Yourself Alive (for being like 1 of their first songs it rocks!)
My Fairy King
Innuendo
The Show Must Go On
I can't Live With You
Dreamer's Ball

I'll stop because I'm mostly just writing down my favorites. Woops. But I think he sang them very well.

Somebody to love or Love of My Life

its kinda hard to establish and pin point one vocal performance in the stuidio that can be classed as freddies best as his voice was continually evolving and so when he was at his the peak of his vocal range in songs like nevermore for example it sounds less powerful than for example when in a winters tale he sings "its oh oh so beautiful". Thanks for your suggestions but i still find it hard to decide which song can be classified as his best as there is so much diversity to freddies vocals.

Yeah...I'd tend to agree with Somebody To Love or Love Of My Life too :) My mom was a music teacher in the '80s and used to use those songs as examples lol

The Show Must Go On

End Of...

have you listened to ' nevermore' ? - ie when Freddie's voice was at it's peak.....tell me the vocals in TSMGO beat the range in Nevermore...and keep a straight face

there are 170 queen albums on album, and how on earth do you still manage to get mad when someones favorite song isnt the exact same as yours?

Show must go on and Innuendo.

Take your pick from ADATR.

Live - Houston 77 without a doubt.

I must agree, Zoroaster and Insomni@. I think it's a tie between those two. I mean, Nevermore is straight from the heart, making his voice more beautiful in it. And as for Mustapha, well, there's no sense in me repeating Zoroaster. :3

I really like Made in Hevaen and Crazy little thing called love.
