BoRhap, Who wants to live forever and Somebody to love aint that hard..
These songs are some of the hardest:
1. Innuendo (High-note range hroughout the song)
2. The Show Must Go On (Pure power. One has to be incredibly powerfull to sing this song, and have a large range. I've only heard one after Freddie (including Paul) who manage to sing this --> Chris Thompson.
3. You take my breath away (Freddie's timber at the time was very high, so it sounds easy.. Try yourself to sing it in the right key... It's kinda tricky to get it nice..
Radio Gaga... yepp... I've sung this some times and it just builds, and builds... It's really hard I've to say..
Scandal.... wooww...how did he do that!!!
Gimme the prize - very difficult..

Don't Try So Hard would be hard, I think, for most people to maintain all those notes and yet give it that delicate sound that Freddie did. A lot of people would probably miss the point and try and shout most of it out.
Mustapha!
Mustapha!
My Fairy King - some tricky falsetto's going on.
Fairy Feller's Master Stroke - falsetto's and fast!
Lap of the Gods, revisited... - changing from head voice to falsetto, tricky to do get right, Freddie couldn't do it live either
Under Pressure - some crazy high notes
Innuendo - powerful high notes
All God's People - some crazy, powerful high notes in there as well
Don't Try So Hard - high notes, very delicately sang
Stone Cold Crazy isn't that hard, yes it's fast, but when you learn the words, it's not very difficult, same for Dead On Time.
Somebody To Love isn't that very hard either, but, as with any song, the trick is to sing it with the right emotion.

-Innuendo (hard high notes)
-Kind of magic (if you want to imitate the exact Freddie studio version, quite hard)
-Made in heaven (try the whole, very hard)
-Who wants to live forever (try to give it the perfect softness of Brian, and to go as high as Freddie)
-My Fairy King (Freddie=king of falsetto)
-Another one bites the dust (yes, sounds easy, but try and reach Freddie rank "How do you think you're gonna get along wihtout...etc" without sounding like shrieking saw).
lots of others...

My Fairy King
March of the Black Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody
Somebody To Love
(I choose the last two mainly because of their 'classic' status and if you run a high risk of butchering both songs if you try to sing them seriously eg. at a choir performance of something)
But it's Freddie Mercury and he is such a unique character as are all the others that any Queen song is hard to pull off!

Body Language, or Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being honest - Killer Queen - the subtely of his voice, yet the power.

So many man...
Bohemian Rhapsody probably.

March of The Black Queen. I just can't xD
I don't have any problems with Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke, though :P
I CAn sing Stone Cold Crazy - not as clearly as Freddie, but I CAN do it xD
Who Wants To Live Forever is hard to pitch.. So is The Show Must Go On, Don't Try So Hard and about a dozen others :b

Majority are hard to perform. Not many can come close to performing a Queen song like Freddie, you can only do your own rendition of a Queen song and hope it sonds good. I mean we struggled trying to do Bo-Rhap and WATC.
A couple:
White Queen
Killer Queen
March Of The Black Queen
Innuendo
Fairy Feller's Master Stroke
My Fairy King
White Man
You and I
Bring Back That Leroy Brown
You Take My Breath Away (x 5)
Dear Friends
Love Of My Life...
The Prophet's Song
Don't Try So Hard
I Want It All
There are more...TONS more.

A lot of them were hard to create onstage. With all the sound thingys and all the opratic parts too. But I reacon they are good songs to try onstage even if they are hard to perform.
For me personally: The Show Must Go On and Another One Bites The Dust
