Frank Sinatra,aka "The Voice".Well,do you think Sinatra was better singer than Mercury?I know they were from different styles,but I talk about their vocal's reaching and power.In my opinion,who must be remembered as "The Voice" is Freddie.For examples for voice power listen to "Machines" or "In the Lap of the Gods" in Wembley'86 or the "New York" demo.What do you think?

yea your rite, also freddie sings a lot higher than frank,
oo la la
The difference between Frank & Freddie was mainly that Frank would pronounce all the words clearly as Freddie had some times some problems to pronounce...
And I thought this was going to be about Frankie Goes To Hollywood... :/

What times/songs can you name it he had troubles?
As far as I can see he was very flexible in pronouncing, for example in the march of the black queen.. or fairy fellers master stroke..

I thought the same thing!!

You know what, i think it´s not that important wether people consider Freddie or Frank the "Voice", because in the end they were both loved as singers.

In my opinion Christmas wouldn`t be the same withou Frank Sinatra singing "Let it snow" and other classics, but Freddie is still my favourite.

Take care

with all due respect for Sinatre - and there's tones of it - if i had to choose a lead singer for my band - between these two i would go for Freddie, no doubt. i mean i think he had much more diversity to his vocals and much more power. definitely the best singer of all time. (yeah, better the fucking Elvis as well).
Thank you my darlings, you lot of tarts.

end of TATDOOL: sounds like: "one thing still chew"
Another one bites the dust: supposed to say: "standing on my own two feets", but sound miles away from that.

Thanks for pointing that out (I never noticed Freddie sounding like he says ''One thing still chew''.)

Perhaps you were hungry when you were listening to TATDOOL! (subliminal)

Anyways, that screws the deep meaning of that song for me (for the moment) LMAO! :-)

Or as some say they THINK Hendrix sang...''scuse me while I kiss this guy''

Hey, what's your problem you two? I've pointed out that Freddie didn't always pronounce well, I know what I've heard and what I'm saying, so if you don't agree, just too bad...always the same thing around here, you say something and you're crucified or ridiculized...Get over it!
Diference:

Frank = never write a word (only sing), baritone, many "influential" friends and I hate his voice
Freddie = great lyrics, baritone-Tenorissimo (4 scales), many good work and I love his beautiful voice
amarina THE SHOW MUST GO ON!
I believe the Freddie supposed problems for a good pronunciation might be for his living in Zanzibar and India.However,this topic it is not about pronunciation... My respects to Sinatra,but he never was better singer than Freddie.Listen to Mother Love and enjoy his hability to sing in low and high tones.Frank always sung in the same level.WE CAN FINISH WITH THERE NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER FREDDIE MERCURY AND FRANK SINATRA.
ah!by the way,xmas it's no the same without "Thank God it's Christmas".
Ahem...The only person I've ever heard referred to as "The Voice" is Tom Jones, and that hip cat ain't dead.
Thank you, God bless you, sweet dreams you lot of tarts, Good-bye!
