Freddie's voice colour

Maybe it has been discussed before, I don't know...

I was listening to Innuendo yesterday in the car and this morning a concert bootleg from the US Jazz tour and it was so obvious how Freddie's voice colour changed. On Innuendo he is so breakable but powerfull, it comes from his soul. You can hear his illness when he sings. And does anybody also hears the difference in Freddie's voice colour in All Gods People? I am very sure that vocal was not recorded during the Innuendo sessions in 1990 but earlier during the Barcelona recordings. His voice is much more different than the other songs on Innuendo.

And then the Jazz tour, he has such a macho voice. Like on Live Killers, he says: "You buggers can sing higher than I can" This voice colour is so typical during the 78-79 tours. And then his voice changes to be more sophisticated after Safe Me and Play The Gam for example...I think its quite interesting...

What do you guys think about it...?

I've noticed it too.
Really changed a lot over the years.

Smoking and drinking does effect the vocal cords...

I really love the change in Freddie's voice. Freddie's voice in the 90's is just superb.

Well, near the end, he had to stop smoking and drinking so much, so you can notice a subtle change in his voice from the Miracle to Innuendo, when his voice sounds a bit more like the earlier works.

Yes, I think we've all noticed the change, but I personally prefer his nearly girly voice of the early 70's.

I absolutly LOVE Freddie's voice in the "Fairy Fellers Master Stroke"

Oh, don't we all!? ;)

Huge change in a span of 10 years. His best voices were Id say, Queen II - and during the News Of The World tour - also add in the Crazy Tour to that as well.

To me, it seems that his voice never fully recovered after the Live Killers tour. He got the majority of his range back from late 79 untill about 81 before the lower powerful voice kicked in and lost his higher range completely.

Beautiful vocals! When you hear the part that goes "peeks under lady's gown" without the background singing, he sounds just like a girl! :-P

i hate his voice during magic tour

colour changing voices???

Someone's off their meds....

I find this funny:

I used to think there was a girl in Queen becuase I saw TSMGO video and saw Roger from IWTBF and thought it was an acual girl and then I heard the" Chippin around " part in Under Pressure and I was convinced that Queen had a lady friend or something who would come into the studio and hit the high notes for Freddie. Thats before I knew how amazing Freddie's voice was.

yeah freddies voice changed through out his carer(sp mistake :S) he had a high voice in the 70s then in the 80s he had a low but powerful voice. its also due to smoking, that can ruin your vocal chords you know.

I know its awful to say but i dont like Freddie's voice at all on innuendo.Its so studio protected and echo-ie.For obvious reasons of course.I miss Freddie more and more every day but his voice during the late 80's into early 90's should never be compared to 1978-82 period where he had mastered not only his range but he learned the art of singing.
