Deon’s Queen Reaction - Somebody to Love 

Please consider partnering with me to help the less fortunate. Clicking the like and subscribe button will give me the ability to be a blessing to hundreds of others who don’t have food and shelter. Thank you for your support. -Deon

Roger was a dentist, John was an engineer, Freddie had a degree in fine arts, and Brian is an astrophysicist specializing in planetary dust. NO joke. More overqualified band ever!

Queen is Legendary and always will be. Amazing chemistry, totally focused, very harmonized, and a lot of energy. Freddie, Brian, Roger and John, best musicians by far. Thank you so much for acknowledging Roger Taylor's drumming and backing vocals. Musicians are not like that today. Pure natural talent. ❤️🔥

I am an old lady who has been a fan of Queen/Freddie Mercury since they began to bless us with their amazing performances. Deon, your honest reaction to this fabulous video is the very best I have seen! Thank You!

I’m so glad this performance was recorded, it’s phenomenal

of all the reaction videos for this song, this is the ONLY one to immediately acknowledge Roger Taylor's contribution/performance. Very nice.

Not only were the 4 of them educated and talented AF,but Queen was the only band who had every member write a #1 hit.All 4 of them did.Legends.

You have the cutest smile. It draws a soul in.

Superman should be wearing a Freddie Mercury top. And yes, can we talk about Roger Taylor's (the drummer's) amazing background vocals? Check out "I'm in Love with My Car", which he wrote and which he sings lead on.

I think this is my favorite performance of Somebody to Love. Freddy Mercury - He is regarded as one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music, and was known for his flamboyant stage persona and four-octave vocal range. He formed Queen in 1970 with guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. Mercury wrote numerous hits for Queen. Mercury was voted best male singer of all time in a 2005 poll organised by Blender and MTV2. After first studying art at Isleworth Polytechnic in West London, Mercury went on to study graphic art and design at Ealing Art College, graduating with a diploma in 1969. Shortly before the release of Queen's self-titled first album, Mercury designed the band's logo, known as the "Queen crest". Although Mercury's speaking voice naturally fell in the baritone range, he delivered most songs in the tenor range. His known vocal range extended from bass low F to soprano high F. He could belt up to tenor high F. He is the greatest rock singer of all time, amazing pianist, songwriter, producer, and showman. Roger Taylor - studied to become a dentist, he became bored with dentistry. He changed to biology and obtained a BS at East London Polytechnic. He's an amazing drummer, singer, and songwriter. As a drummer, Taylor was recognized early in his career for his unique sound. He was voted by radio listeners as the eighth-greatest drummer in classic rock music history in a poll conducted by Planet Rock in 2005. Taylor sometimes played keyboards, guitars and bass on his own songs. Taylor is also well known for his falsetto vocal range. Brian May - is an English musician, singer, songwriter, astrophysicist and photographer. May was a co-founder of Queen with lead singer Freddie Mercury and drummer Roger Taylor, having previously performed with Taylor in the band Smile, which he had joined while he was at university. As a member of Queen, May became regarded as a virtuoso musician and he was identified with a distinctive sound created through his layered guitar work. In 2005, a Planet Rock poll saw May voted the seventh greatest guitarist of all time. May earned a PhD in astrophysics from Imperial College London in 2007, and was Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University from 2008 to 2013. He was a "science team collaborator" with NASA's New Horizons Pluto mission. He is also a co-founder of the awareness campaign Asteroid Day. Asteroid 52665 Brianmay was named after him. May is also an animal rights activist, campaigning against the hunting of foxes and the culling of badgers in the UK. John Deacon - Deacon grew up in Oadby, Leicestershire, playing bass in a local band, The Opposition, before moving to study electronics at Chelsea College, London. He had been accepted to study at Chelsea College in London (now part of King's College London), where he obtained a First Class Honours degree in Electronics in 1971. He joined Queen in 1971 on the strength of his musical and electronic skills, particularly the home-made Deacy Amp which guitarist Brian May used to create guitar orchestras throughout Queen's career. He also helped the band with their financial management. As well as bass, Deacon played some guitar and keyboards on Queen's studio work. Following lead singer Freddie Mercury's death in 1991, and the following year's Tribute Concert, Deacon only performed a few times with the remaining members of Queen before retiring from the music industry in 1997. He has not performed on any of the other projects that the other two surviving members, Brian May and Roger Taylor, have put together, but he is still involved in the management of Queen's finances. Within five years of their formation in 1970 and the recruitment of bass player John Deacon completing the lineup, Queen had become one of the biggest rock bands in the world with the success of the album A Night at the Opera and its single "Bohemian Rhapsody". Queen is still touring with Adam Lambert. You can still see Brian May and Roger Taylor rock out. I actually have tickets to see them in July 2019. I hope I didn't overdo it with the information. It's just that every member of the band have such interesting stories. You should read up on their background or watch some Queen documentaries.

I love that Queen and Freddie are getting so many new fans! Queen is simply unequaled in talent and sheer perfection. They were in sync with each other at all times. The world hasn't been the same since Freddie left us in 1991. A legend, plain and simple.

Deon I really got a kick out of this reaction, I love how enthusiastic you are and appreciate Queen (my favorite band) so much. I will watch any of your reactions to them. And I have to add that you are adorable!!

Indeed. There will never be another Freddie Mercury. Phenomenal talent.

Hey it's the 76 year old grandma, what a sweet young man you are, Yes I agree with you Freddie was the greatest front man ever. I loved your reactions to these great musicians, and yes they do have college degrees, The one guitar player Get's called in about things to do with the space programs I believe, someone correct me if I am wrong. I enjoy seeing young people getting to know all the great music that I have had the privelege to hear first hand for the last 76 years. again looking forward to you next experiences on the wonderful journey you have chosen.

The drummer, Roger Taylor, was particularly famous for his insane falsetto. Queen's highest notes are all his. Some great Roger falsetto performances include Lap of the Gods (live at the Rainbow 74 is a good one), '39 (any version really), and you know those famous Galileo's and the "for MEEEEEEEEE" in Bohemian Rhapsody? That was him too. Plus his delightfully raspy voice at his normal range. Brian May (the guitarist) had an excellent voice too. John Deacon (the bassist) didn't like to sing but you can hear him occasionally, most notably in any live performance of Liar (which I thoroughly recommend as a song!). Okay, explaining done, I just got say, this reaction put a huge grin on my face and totally made my day. Your smile, your expression, was so pure and we got to sit here and watch you fall in love with Queen the way we all did once! I hope you do many more!

Love Freddie. So glad you found what so many of us grew up to. What a legend he is...

I’m a 72 year old grandmother who has been a queen fan since the mid 70’s. I’m probably the only grandmother you’ll ever see driving down the road with my stereo up jamming to the music. I was a teen in the early to mid sixties...during the birth of rock ‘n roll. I am impressed by you young man! You brightened my day by your happy spirit, beautiful smile and upbeat personality.....you were a ray of sunshine for me this morning! Grandma Brenda

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roger Taylor (drummer) is awesome.,

So glad you got to REACT! Hard to have a favorite of Queen and Freddie, but this is certainly one of them. Watching your reaction is pure joy. Loved it.

Imagine sitting in a bar & this guy is on the piano, made in heaven!

This was music!!!!! No special this and that no auto tune just raw pure talent:-):-):-):-)Happy New Year!!:-):-):-):-):-):-)

He could sing anything even opera. I was a teen when they were poplar. Have always loved his singing. Even 2 wks before he died he could still sing.

It's not often I see someone of your age appreciating the musical genius of the music I listened to growing up. I especially appreciated you noticing how much input Roger Taylor had on backing vocals and drumming at the same time. This is truly one of their finest live performances. If you can react to their Live Aid performance, you will see why they stole the whole show and gave an EPIC show to remember for literally generations. Subscribed!

So glad you mentioned Rogers skills, I think its part of what makes this performance so great! Queens talent is off the charts and that ending with them is the best!

IMHO this is the best live performance Queen ever did. Great reaction!

Wonderful reaction. I'm grateful you've found their music.

I came out of the womb loving Queen! I’m overjoyed to see so many people enjoying them for the first time!

Love this song and Freddie’s amazing voice ❤️❤️

I love your reaction. QUEEN is the best Rock band ever!

Love your reaction to this. No swearing and a real appreciation of Queens talent... I could watch and listen to Roger Taylor all day. He’s amazing as are they all. I first started liking them in 1981 and I remember falling in love with Brian’s hair lol.

My beautiful Queen I have loved them for 40 years!!! Dear God where did that time go??? They were amazing live

Love your Queen reviews. U r inspirational yourself. Am so proud we got The Queen and the most amazing band of all time (so far!) Queen! We love u Freddie. U were needed upstairs way too soon❤❤❤

Queen were magnificent 👍😀love always Freddy💚

THAT WAS A MOMENT 💃🏾🕺🏽💃🏾🕺🏽💃🏾🕺🏽💃🏾🕺🏽💃🏾 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 THANK YOU FOR SHARING DH 🙏🏾💕

I love it! One of the best reactions I've seen to this song! Freddie Rocks!

I love your reaction ! Love Freddie, Brian, Roger and John. They WERE the greatest! And here we are still loving them, all these years later. Thank you. Hope to hear more from you. A new subscriber.

Im just 50 And I've heard this song at least 4,000 Time's. And is still . FANTASTIC!!!✌🤘👊

Check out their Live Aid performance. For 20 minutes Freddie holds the mic in one hand and the crowd in the other. Rated best live performance by any band, EVER. Love your smile on your face!

My fav Queen song ever. Freddie was amazing. Roger Taylor is amazing drummer. Old Queen is amazing too. Like Queen live at the Rainbow. I grew up on Queen. I love your reaction it's so awesome to see so many new Queen and Freddie fans. Let's see on their degrees Freddie had a degree in graphic design. Roger the drummer was going to dental school,base player John he was an engineer, Brian lead guitar is a Dr in astrophysics. They are all very smart men.

LOVE IT! I have loved Queen since I was a teen waaay back when Queen got started and am a die-hard fan to this day. I love your reaction to their talent and of course to Freddie. I am also so glad you acknowledged Roger Taylor, an extraordinary drummer and vocalist. How he manages to play the drums like nobody's business AND sing so beautifully with his head turned to the left is nothing less than amazing. Brian May is an exceptional guitarist, but I wish someone would also acknowledge John Deacon. It took Queen at least 3 tries before finding a bass guitarist of his caliber. I think everyone would really love to see your reaction to Love of My Life life at Montreal. It is the one where Freddie sings sans shirt. It is amazing

Queen has always been my favorite band. I probably listened to this song more than 50 times. But this song meant more for me after my wife left me after 26 years of marriage and four children (they are all grown now.) I still have the same reaction as you did, Deon, every time I listen to this song/video. It never grows old. I now have a girlfriend that's 60 years old now and I will be 60 in June. But music, keeps me going through thick and thin. Loved your video and the one on "Bohemian Rhapsody!" I am now a subscriber to your site and looking forward to hearing more!

😊 I love that performance and have watched it over and over. I so agree with you about Freddie and the drummer. Indeed they all were very talented. Thank you for such a wonderfully amazing response!!! 👌👏👏👏

"Sing, brah." "Ok, let's do it!"

Amazing how that made all that magic with just the 4 of them, isn't it? No synthesizers, nothing pre-recorded, just instruments and an overload of talent in 1 band :) Thanks for the reaction, greetings from Holland

Deon, you are adorable and I agree with everything you said!!

Loved your reaction!!! It's contaigous to see your fun and joy for the music, your face at the beginning of the song when you clapped your hands!! This is such an amazing performance! You should also check the official video of this song, you will enjoy it a lot!! They really worked their harmmonies when recording this song and it gives you goosebumps! Well, everñything else in this song is pretty much perfect :-) It's my favourite Queen song along with Bohemian Rhapsody

Love your enthusiasm for Queen. I have loved them from the start. They rocked me through my early years and rock me still. Thanks for bringing them home.

OMG I had to go like nearly all his reactions haha, I just love how he loves what he is listening to. Makes me smile so much

Queen live at Wembley 1986, Under Pressure is one of their best songs ever and an awesome live performance.

I’m a 65 year old Queen fan from back in the day. I just love your reactions, kind of reminds me of when I first heard the man sing.

Happy New Year, Deon!! Thanks for reacting to Somebody to Love live at Montreal, for me this is the best version of their song. They simply rocked and Freddie is just so MARVELOUS!!! Love your reaction, glad you enjoyed this! ❤️ You’ll find more songs by Queen to truly appreciate. I’ll be waiting for your reaction to Live Aid, Stone Cold Crazy ‘74 at Rainbow and Save Me/Play the Game-Montreal ‘81 😉

That smile of yours and Queen's music brighten my day. Thank you Deon.

I love your reaction, you are right aren't we blessed that these 4 guys got together to form this out of this world band. Freddie is great but we must not forget the 3 others guys. To play drum and sing like that is just fantastic. I am so glad to see young generation appreciate real talent because it is real talent. Thanks and keep reacting to Queen songs, your energy is contagious.

Thank you for the smile today! I never tire of watching this performance and I hope you have watched it several times since your first reaction.

I love Freddie Mercury and Queen, I sing Bohemian Rhapsody with my daughters all the time. Youngest has it on her playlist for her car. I love that they love the music of my time. I'm 55ish and they are both over 30.

You should react to Don’t Stop Me Now and Killer Queen by Queen!They are such good songs! You should also react to their Live Aid performance! It’s so amazing!!

You had the same reaction I did when I first heard this. 👌😂

This is one of my favorite live songs by Queen!! Freddie is absolutely amazing. Every band member is a genius! Roger Taylor is an awesome drummer and it’s incredibly difficult to play The Drums like he does and saying his heart out!!!

Great reaction! If you want more Brian May’s awesome guitar skills. I’d recommend Olympics 2012 London. It was for the closing ceremony celebrating the UK’s contributions to music. They played “ We Will Rock You “. ( Brian still has his long curly hair. It’s just grey now.)

Love Queen and your reaction is a kindred spirit of mine. Will be watching for more!!

Loved your reaction, and you nailed it. Freddie owned the stage, as well as the audience. I was fortunate enough to see them in 1982. I was sitting in the 3rd row, right in front of Freddie's piano. That man owned the stage like no other I saw before or since. I was only 18 at the time, and to this day, it is still one of the best shows I've ever seen.

I'm so glad to see the acknowledgment of Rogers's (drummer) singing and playing. Usually, the reaction is a small one, and he deserves more! This is my fave performance of this song. Check out more Montreal 81 performances (they KILLED that show). Love this reaction so much.

Loving your reactions to Queen! You should definitely react to Queens Live Aid performance (Full Version) (HD) and Love Of My Life (Live at Wembley)

I found this reaction video to be thoroughly satsifying: "Yes, drummer" I love it. 😂😍

Absolutely! Thank goodness, we can share and re-experience some of this musical greatness. It's easy to see (and hear) why Queen is so revered and loved.

Simply the best. I watch this at least once or twice a day. Gotta get my Freddie fix! Loved your reaction!

I'm so glad that you discovered this amazing talent and that you reacted this for us! Thank you so much for sharing.

The drummer, Roger Taylor is still playing but he graduated to gold plated drums and his son, Rufus Taylor is now a professional Rock drummer as well. You should check out, Queen-White Queen, (A Night At The Odeon-Hammersmith 1975), from the Queen Official channel.

Loved your reaction! Queen is music for everyone! It's just a good time! Keep smilin'!

One of the advantages to being an old rock chick is being around at the time to see bands like Queen, Who, Stones LIVE! What an honour eh? Deon, you are adorable, and at least getting a chance to see what I grew up with❤️❤️❤️

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out to you yet, but Brian May built that guitar with this father in 1963, taking them two years to complete. Most of the parts on it are stuff he said he had lying around. The neck came from an old fireplace mantel. The top is the veneer of a mahogany table. The tremolo arm (or "whammy bar") takes the springs from a motorcycle valve springs and a knife's edge that was bent into a V shape. For a time Guild made a signature model.

“Just clap your hands, c’mon just holler!” 😂😂😂❤️

Not just a great singer but a fantastic entertainer! 💜💜💜

Watched you for first tonite re@cting to Queen and Freddie Mercury (Somebody to Love) Good enthusiasm! Found Queen for 1st time maybe month ago on my phone. 73 yrs, great grammie. Never been to rock concert. Never played or bought rock music. Never heard FM's voice. Never knew what the songs were. Now Í m a fan! Description of their biggest concert was "The Day that Queen Ruled the World" Peace to you FM.

I love your reactions....Queen was the best!! Your reactions are like I react when I watch this stuff. Brings back lots of good times and good music

Yeah, your love and enthusiasm is infectious, love it!

You should also watch George Michael’s version at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert... Absolutely flawless!

I found a reaction guy to love....thank you Deon!

My beautiful Queen delivers all the time :)

Now you need to go back and react to the official video/studio version...it’s amazing Your reactions are so enjoyable...your smile just lights up!

You are officially my favorite Queen reactor

I enjoy watching your reactions so much!!! It's so nice to know that younger people are "getting it"!!!

I really enjoyed your reaction. That wonderful smile on your face and your enthusiasm said it all. Although I still was a child, I was lucky enough to experience Queen in their heyday. I can't tell you how much joy it gives me to see younger generations from all over the world experience this music. It binds us together, doesn't it? Over generations, over land and sea, music touches us all and for that brief moment when we're under its spell, we are all one human family.

Deon - I just subscribed after watching a couple of your Queen reactions. Best band ever! I saw them live twice (I was a teen in the 70’s so yep I’m old). They are my favorite band. This is one of my favorite songs. I also wanted to say that your smile and positive attitude made me smile! Hi from a Colorado grandma! 😀

Your joy of discovering Queen is contagious! For the new peeps watching - not me, of course! I’ve been hooked since the 70s!!! Thanks for this!! ♥️♥️♥️

Great reaction! I loved watching your face! Thank you!!

I'm just here to stare at Deon's beautiful smile and sparkly eyes

So glad I experienced that time, so glad you are enjoying them now! Queen was definitely a force and all of them were talented. The Gods aligned to create this wonderful band and we are ever so grateful! Love your channel and your passion for the classics!🤘🏻❤️

still one of my favourite songs.

Freddie is an incredible stage performer

Thank you for your reaction. For yourself (or for us :)), I recommend viewing the OFFICIAL VIDEO version of "Somebody To Love". It makes a nice comparison to this live version. Different enough to thoroughly enjoy the vocals, harmonizing & polish. And it made me appreciate this live version all the more, as Queen are amazing musicians. And Freddie, well, pure talent right there.

Roger Taylor Is an amazing drummer! Freddie will never be forgotten!

You should listen to Queen (Roger Taylor, the awesome drummer you admire) and Brian May with their current Queen and wonderful frontman, Adam Lambert, who has been with them since 2012. Roger and Brian thought they were through, but when they heard Adam, Brian says they knew they had found their Gift From God, and now they’ll usually say GFG and lots of people will know what that means. They also didn’t want a Freddie impersonator. The very best and first place I would tell anybody to start is Who Wants to live Forever? The Isle of Wight video. You should look for the version with the little Queen logo at the bottom right of the screen but it will probably be the one with the most views. Gorgeous song. And regularly, Roger and Adam do an Under Pressure duet. There are some really good 2018 versions. Queen + Adam Lambert will be touring this country this summer. Many of us might have been too young to see Freddie but here is a great chance to see a show not to be missed, especially before Brian and Roger get too old to tour anymore. Thank you for what you do.

Thanks Deon. As I said my wife and I were at this concert. We are a bi racial couple and she was ( and is tiny). I actually put her on my shoulders for the entire concert. Now I might add that I have been a drummer since the age of 8. If you check out the drum solo during the song TNUC the drummer ( Don Brewer) did something very unusual. If you watch the video you will see what he did. It has something to do with his head. Anyway check it out. I would definitely check out the song Heartbreaker. Thanks again my friend. Oh and by the way she still is the most beautiful black woman I have ever seen. I'm been blessed for 47 years.

I love the drummer!

You can feel Freddie's love for Aretha Franklin here :) Yes, what an outstanding performance!!! I love your reactions! We can see that you feel the love! :) Have a wonderful week!

Your reaction - priceless! The music blows me away!!!!

My favorite Queen song.

Of all the reaction videos I've seen of Somebody to love, you're the best!

Freddie was just on a different plane than anybody out there. They could of come out in their bathrobes and it still would of been the best ever!
