FIRST TIME HEARING Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballe-How can I go on(Barcelona) | REACTION 

Now watch Barcelona

He remained the rock star, she remained the opera diva. Written by Freddie Mercury and Mike Moran. An entire album for this duo. Their connection is so adorable.

Please react to The Golden Boy, it will blow your mind...Promise 👌😜🌹😉🎶🎶🎶

You have to see the song Barcelona please. Love your reaction.

I shiver every time I hear this song.

Freddie wrote all the songs they sang! His talent knew no bounds!

Just to let you know- Freddie was the very first rock singer to ever go a collab with an opera singer. It was unheard of back then and people had laughed when they heard, but were absolutely blown away after hearing them. They actually did an album together and became very good friends. This was only about a year and a half before he died. You actually pronounced her name correctly!! Please react to the very early White Queen live at Hammersmith Oden 1975. Also, you must hear Exercises in Free Love sung by Just Freddie. The back story of this one is Freddie did the song bring to Spain for his first meeting with Monserrat. He wanted her to hear what he wrote for her and sang both parts, do to speak. She was so very impressed with his range and his ability to go from Baritone to Falsetto seamlessly. You know there’s a video where scientists actually reviewed and studied Freddie’s voice and pointed out a few things that he had and does that no one else has or can do. They had not ever seen that before, nor think they ever would again. He can literally sing any genre with ease. Just wait and see when you hear Exercises in Free Love. So very pleased you all are enjoying the Queen catalog. Queen fans are the best!!!

🤗🎶❤️ Golden Boy & Barcelona soon, please!

Freddie was a huge lover of opera, and after seeing a performance by Montessori Cabballet he fell in love with her voice. A meeting between them was arranged and a lifelong friendship was born. They did the Barcelona album, Freddie wrote all of songs with Mike Moran and Tim Rice. There are no limits to this man's talents. Enjoy

Made all the more poignant knowing that Freddie knew he was dying, and Montsy probably knew as well. Best duet ever, still, after all these years, gives me gooosebumps.

they did and recorded "Barcelona" ... that was used during the opening of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics

The whole album is a lesson in how to make fine songs from start to finish, not a filler song anywhere. Rock and Opera together, who would have thought it, Freddie would thats who, He did it before and did it again with an actual opera singer this time.

Must do The Golden boy next. Will knock your socks off. I promise

They are legends....legends....legends!

Barcelona you really need to hear Barcelona.

Amazing

Freddie & Montserret are Magic! I am so glad that Freddie was able to have his final wish being able to sing with Montserett. I Love you Freddie Forever❤

Your faces said it all!! Great reaction. Try Exercises in free love

Yes, yes, yes! Freddie and Montserrat are beyond brilliant! As already suggested you must do “The Golden Boy” with Freddie and Monserrat. I have heard in a few interviews that Freddie was most proud of the album he did with Montserrat.

Please, please react to the song Barcelona:)

Oh thank you. Please listen to Barcelona and the Golden Boy. Just beautiful.

I love how u didnt even move lol, love them now watch barcelona

3:13 The guy on the left freezes when Caballe starts to sing and doesn't makes a move until she ends.

Try Exercises in Free Love, if you want Freddie to blow your mind

Freddie could sing any song any genre he was amazing

I watch this when I'm trying to get my sinuses to drain. The poignancy of unfathomable sadness transformed into unimaginable beauty is what hits a bullseye to the soul (and sinuses).

This is the most beautiful song. You should check out Exercises In Free Love next. Freddie's opera voice will blow you away! 😉

Can't wait for you to react to The Golden Boy, and Exercises in Free Love. Both will blow you away... Thanks for your fun reactions.

Thank you for the Queen reactions. You should react to 'exercises in free love'.. .that shows his vocal range. It's really unbelievable.

Look at Freddie’s face when they first release hands. Monsi said his eyes were full of tears, his future had just hit him. She grabs his hand and won’t let go, getting him through the song. True friendship and love. ❤️❤️

Another masterpiece. Please continue with the rest of the album. Great reviews.

They are singing together again R.I.P. both of you

Of course ! this is him guys! Who else can sing like that !? 😅😁 And you don't see the other song of the Barcelona album like the golden boy, Barcelona or la japonaise....

Now watch The golden boy - Freddie mercury & Montserrat Caballé

The Most Powerful Voice in the World In 2016, a group of Austrian, Czech and Swedish scientists investigated Freddie Mercury's vibrato and voice tone. An investigation investigated that vibrato (vibrations produced by nervous tremor in the diaphragm and larynx to release the voice note) range from 5.4 Hz to 6.9 Hz. Reaching 6.9 Hz is already extraordinarily powerful. Freddie Mercury's voice vibrato was found to be 7.04 Hz, far above average. Such reach explains the success of the partnership with a Spanish opera singer Montserrat Cabellé, who, in 1988, recorded an entire album with Freddie Mercury.

His favourite ever work in his life. Nothing else mattered compared to this!

I loved your reaction to this....there is so much more to hear from the Barcelona album. You will really love the title track, which became the theme song for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. There is The Golden Boy, a story about a rock star and his lady. There is How Can I Go On, a short but beautiful ballad. And one I have never heard anyone react to: La Japonaise, which he and Montserrat sing partly in Japanese. Freddie either wrote or co-wrote every song on this album. He also sang Montserrat's parts on the demos so she would be quickly able to learn the songs due to her heavy schedule. It is a tremendous accomplishment and when you hear him talk about it in interview you can tell he was very proud of it. You two are truly fun to watch videos with!

Freddie had a 4 octave range and they wrote all the songs.

Thank you so much for this reaction, I Loved watching your reaction I guess now you can understand why this song is on repeat for me It's a very beautiful song. You should watch Barcelona next Please, It's the track that started it all, without these two magnificent singers getting together to make this duet back in 1987 for the upcoming 1992 Olympics games. It was when they met and found this connection did Montserrat Caballe say to Freddie how many songs on a rock n roll album Freddie replies 10, Montserrat said we should record an album which Freddie was taken back but I'm sure pleased as well as he had to write all the songs foe this album but Freddie reached out to Sir Tim Rice who wrote the last 2 songs to complete album.

The golden boy and Barcelona to, of them!!

"Exercises In Free Love" PULEAZE! It is Freddie singing a piece that he had written FOR Montse (That is her nickname). He recorded himself singing it, so she could have an idea of his vision for how it should sound. (On the Barcelona album, Montse also sings it and the title is Ensueno.)

Barcelona from them will blow your heads off!!!

Monsterrat (Montsy) as she liked to be called was one of the top 10 female opera singers of all time. This album was made in 1987 Freddie was already diagnosed with his illness by this time.

@Rafael: your face is priceless😂👍👍. Thanks for your reaction, I love it🤩😎.

Rafael you pronounced this amazing lady’s name correctly. Great reaction guys. If you like this you will love Golden Boy 🥰 ❤️Freddie❤️

I ever love your QUEEN reactions, you makes me so happy... I love you both so much! ❤️👑

Thank you.Its one of my favorite songs.Please react Golden Boy too.

Absolutly incredible Thank you so much for this Video Freddie & Queen forever

This is the first time I've heard and seen this video. Great suggestion.

Now you have to check out the song 'Barcelona'

Toll.......und geil.....das Montserrat und Freddie....bis heute so gut ankommen!!!!!!I Love that......good boys!!!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

She wanted him to sing his natural baritone. He knows he is dying. Who is going to help,him go on. He wants to be safe but he is so well known it is hard for him to be who he really is.

Freddie loved the Ballet and Opera he wrote an album and the title track Barcelona was used for the 1992 Olympics which unfortunately Freddie didn't see as he passed away in 91,you should listen to him live and impromptu with the audiences,every show was different,you've got around 13 albums by Queen in his lifetime,a couple released after he'd passed away,there's also solo albums from Freddie,Roger Taylor and Dr Brian May,nothing from John Deacon he retired from public life in 1997 six years after Freddie died

Freddie wrote Barcelona after the city where they first met. It became the theme song for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, after he passed the previous year.

Your reaction was great! Watching your faces...Gobsmacked is what you were. That was awesome. The story goes that Freddie, who adored Montserrat, was so nervous about meeting her, he smoked two packets of cigarettes before she arrived at the hotel. He had written and recorded a demo for her called Exercises in Free Love (which you should definitely watch, you’ll really hear Freddie’s incredible vocal range) she loved it and suggested they do an entire album together. In fact she asked Freddie how many songs they would put on a rock album and he replied 10. So she said, that is it then, we’ll do 10 songs. Freddie wrote all the songs with Mike Moran, and Exercises in Free Love became Ensueno on the album. The whole album is incredible, but please do the title track Barcelona, and I’d love you to watch Exercises in Free Love. That’s when you will realise that man really could sing anything.

try to exercises in free love by Freddie :D

Oh, yes. And Fallen Priest by them also.

GOD FREDDIE

Hi my favorite boyzzz 😊 Love this song, those two voices are absolutely amazing. And see, Freddie could sing whatever he wanted, he was/is the most awesome singer. And Monserrat Cabellé, amazing voice as well...

The Kleenex had to come out for this....love the collab with Freddi and Monserrat Caballe, the whole album is brilliant...two amazing talents, just blowing the world away!!!

Definitely do GOLDEN BOY, BARCELONA, ENSUENO, GUIDE ME HOME ... all with Montsy (Freddie used to call Montserrat that nick name). It was truly a musical love affair they had. Hey Boyz your mouths are open. 😂😂

Now watch them both singing Barcelona together.

Wonderfull!!!que talento darling!!!💝thank you guys for your reaction!!!

I am immersed in this song,

THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for reacting. Their BARCELONA album is just beautiful.

Love your stunned reactions….priceless👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love that song, without a doubt a great friendship that Freddie and Monserrat had. I think John Deacon (bassist for Queen) played bass on this song. In a series of questions they asked him about the solo album that he liked the most from his companions (Brian, Roger and Freddie) and he answered Freddie and Monserrat, without a doubt he had good taste. Nice video and reaction

Brasil está em casa !!!

You need to try 'Barcelona' and 'The Golden Boy' by them! They did a whole album 'Barcelona' together

Freddie was classically trained. he favourite genre was opera!!

Freddie s dream was to sing phantom of the opera with Montserrat, she did record her part of the song he loved it, unfortunately he passed away a month later and never got to record his part.

I so thank so much for playing this song of theirs and reacting to it. They were just beautiful together. Their voices singing to the music just brings tears to my eyes evertime 😥. There are still alot of songs that they performed together. They were truly magical together. Again thank you! 🥰

Someone told Freddie he was the best singer in the world and he said, no he wasn't, she was. She heard the interview, called him and invited him to meet and sing with her. He was said to be nervous like they had never seen before.

@Ewa Beit one clarification - when Freddie was "alone", and having learned her positive attitude towards his vocals, he asked her to sing at least one song with him, which eventually resulted in the album "Barcelona" ... his phenomenal voice - nothing would have happened

now what nola says watch barcelona its even better xxx

Please also react to barcelona title song from this album

You nailed it guys. It was magical and magnificent! Freddie could do anything with his voice. Now react to ‘Barcelona’, it will stun you!

Always enjoy your enthusiasm! Freddie never ceases to amaze with his musical talent which is so diverse, and this is such a beautiful piece. Try to find and react to "Exercises in Free Love" to listen to more Mercury magic.

I really enjoyed your reactions. You both looked transfixed! Completely understandable. I hope you'll sprinkle into your reactions some of the tracks from their album that other commenters have suggested. Her surname is pronounced "ka ba yay".

Montserrat was a fabulous soprano - she was especially known for hitting those very high note lightly so they "floated in the air" rather than belting them out. I have this CD in my car and play it frequently. One of my special favorites is the Golden Boy.

Inside the mind on Netflix is amazing, best docu on fred

Thanks, Badd Boyz - this is my favorite from the opera that Freddie wrote for "Montsy" - as he came to call her when they got together - he was a huge fan of her as an opera singer, so he wrote this ENTIRE opera her -- called "Barcelona" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1fiOJDXA-E.html (she is Spanish, and the Olympic games were due to be held in Barcelona) - the title song was meant to be performed by the two at the opening ceremonies in 1992, but sadly, Freddie passed in 1991) - nevertheless, they did record quite a few songs from his compositions... another great one was "the Golden Boy" -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OPizyP4x30I.html (btw, one thing I particularly love about "how can I go on" - is the joy and smile on Montserrat's face.. while she is actually lip-synching Freddie's parts - they really loved each other!)

Okay. I like you guys so much. Great reaction!

He was tearing up so she grabbed his for his hand

Omg if you are a real fan you know this is Freddie lllllaaaaame

This was kind of magic Freddie in our hearts forever ❤️

Seriously, I have watched this reaction at least 5 times, I love it. Raphael just stares the whole time in disbelief and Randy shows beautiful emotion with each new verse. I love it, can't wait for "The Golden boy " haha

Barcelona is a master piece...listen to it .

Lovely reaction. Just beautiful.

Freddie and Monsterrat were such good friends. When Monsterrat accepted Freddie's oppounity to merge Opera with Rock n Roll, she asked that he write a song about her home town Barcelona. Whala! There you have it! Freddie was a lifetime admirer of opera and did a demo for her singing both voices since they were in different locations. S he loved it. This album was his life's dream to perform with her. You can see the love in both of their faces and actions to understand the depth of respect they had for one another. It is the most romantic album I have ever heard. Freddie composed the whole album. Talented? Good grief. He is just phenomenal and Monsteerrat is the most celebrated opera star hands down! Really enjoyed watching your faces in this musical zone.. I could tell you were practically in a trance absorbing every note they produced.. I am the very same way. Thanks for sharing this with me!

They both knew he was sick, this is his last concert

The Barcelona album had beautiful songs on it, this happened to be my favorite. Love it!

Watch the interview it is so awesome you hear the excitement in Freddie voice

Bravo your face expression was priceless, Freddie was thee most talented singer ever. Freddie was not just a singer with an amazing voice, when he sang you felt it on your soul. No other singer gives you that feeling. This was beautiful and you cannot deny the world loves Queen and Freddie Mercury. Hands down best singer of all time.
