You said you didn't want insults - lol!
Well, I have listened, and I won't be as harsh as Adam, because I admire you for having the balls to post yourself singing. It's more than I would ever do. However, you sound more like Klaus Meine from The Scorpions than Freddie, and the edits could do with some work too. It's very obvious going from a live recording into a studio version. Maybe you could have overdubbed some crown noise onto at least the intro of IWIA? Have to agree with Adam about the grunts and groans though. No offence! :)

:-D thanks for the observations, Lord Fickle.
Adams were a little too severe... most of all the part saying I was offkey (grrr.. no way!)
Your comments are useful: I'm trying to improve my abilities in mixing/editing songs and, after listening to your mixes, I'm pretty sure I do have a lot to learn! (by the way, what about my little work on love is the hero? have you heard that?)
Also, opinions on my singing style are important to me, now that I'm recording some songs of mine in a studio (a different quality and a different style from what you heard there, anyway)... of course training with Queen is quite a hard deal, but the best way to improve, I deem.
The "Klaus Meine" idea isn't that offensive! I like the guy's voice. Jokes apart, I never really mean to imitate Freddie's voice (the inimitable is inimitable), even though I admit that in this IWIA my voice's sound was a little 'forced' to a rougher sound than my usual, since it was done really.. 'for fun'.
Ok... this is all. Thanks and all the best.
Roy.
p.s. Great mix of Don't stop me now, yours.

I think when you hear a Queen song, which Freddie originally sang, anyone else singing just isn't going to sound right, unless, of course, they can perfectly emulate Freddie, which is virtually impossible. As I said, respect to you for posting your recording - Queen fans can be a savage load of tarts! Lol!
