FIRST TIME HEARING | QUEEN -" SOMEBODY TO LOVE" | FREDDIE IS A LEGEND!!! 

“I don’t know where I go from here?” You go live. Queen live is another level.

I'm glad you did the studio version BUT this is one of those songs that you truly need to also react to the live in Montreal version. One of the best live performances ever. And I know you'd enjoy the hell out of it.💙☮

They are showing the recording footage and a live performance footage with the studio recording over it. Now that you've seen the studio, you really need to watch the live for this song that's pretty much considered the best live performance Queen ever gave. Montreal 1981. 😄

Now that you've heard the studio recording, check it out live. Specifically the 1981 Queen at Montréal. It's epic.

Thanks for reacting to Queen! The live versions of this are legendary - the 1981 Montreal version is the one most people love, although the 1982 is different but also amazing and I think I prefer it. After that, white queen live at Hammersmith 1975 is incredible.

Their 23min live performance at LIVE AID was fantastic...check it out

As stated below this song live at Montreal is mind blowing. Freddie is absolutely amazing in that performance. I love this song and I love this studio version but Montreal is beyond human in Freddie's vocals. Thank you for reacting to this great song.

The guitarist is Dr. Brian May astrophysicist, they were very educated and talented. Also Freddie wore ballet shoes with his leotard😁do White Queen live at Hammersmith it's mind blowing.

I am a new subscriber because of your Queen videos, due to Queen being my favorite band. Queen is iconic and I'm almost willing to bet you know Queen. Remember High School football games? "We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions" are both Queen classics. You might also have heard "Another One BItes the Dust". I suggest you try the 1985 Live Aid concert. Enjoy the ride!

1981 Montreal live! This is the one that need so be reacted to! Queen does anything but talk to to you lightly!🤣 Great reaction as usual!💪🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😱✊🏻💥💯🔥💥

Drummer, bass player and lead guitarist are singing backup!

love this song!! for sure, like everyone else has stated, check out this live in Montreal, 1981. you will be blown away!!! no speaking lightly. Freddie had several outfits...even short shorts. if you're going down the rabbit hole - take snacks.

Early works are great too...WHITE QUEEN live at Hammersmith...

Freddie Mercury was such a gift to the world. Must do’s are ‘Love of My Live’ live at Montreal, ‘The Show Must Go On” live and ‘Who Wants to Live Forever’ live at Wimbley. They were magical in the live performances.

Trust…. He had plenty of lovin’ 😂. Like everyone else is commenting, please do the the live version of this Montreal 1981.

❤👏👏👏👏👏Great reaction AB! Queen Live Aid at Wembley Stadium will supply the orange juice for a year. Several songs performed live. Fire and juice. May I say, your new equipment looks good on you! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Freddie Mercury was a big fan of Aretha Franklin he wanted to do a song with her because he loved how much power she has in her voice and he loved her style. I think the next song you should do is White Queen and love of my life the live version in Montreal. Freddie Mercury Wrote that song for the woman he was going to marry, but it did not happen she still stay by his side when he came out to her

PLEASE, PLEASE, you have to also do this song live from Montreal 1981….One of the best live performances EVER!!! Especially for reaction videos! It is a MUST….I promise you won’t regret it!!! 🔥🔥🍊🧃🍊🧃💯😊

Something I find interesting the more I think about it. I just assumed that anyone over the age of 30 was very familiar with Queen. I assumed that because I was raised listening to Queen music in the house by my parents. It’s neat to experience this with you AB. Thank you for taking us on this journey. What music did you have playing in the house growing up?

My favorite Queen song of all time!! Love the studio version & every live version out there. Gotta do this song live in Montreal 1981 considered Queen’s best performance! I personally prefer the live version at Milton Keynes 1982 which is more powerful (if that’s even possible). Then there’s young Freddie live at Hammersmith & his vocals are completely unleashed! BRILLIANT SONG!!

Another one bites the dust!!! Is a great song by them!!

Your a rip, love the reactions….please check out Liar at the Rainbow.

Got to do Somebody to Love Live 1981 Montreal...🔥🔥

You are obviously fairly new to Queen, so a quick run down, members are Freddie Mercury, lead singer piano and occasional guitar. Brian May, lead guitar and vocals. Roger Taylor, drums and vocals. John Deacon, bassist and fewer vocals (but wrote some great songs and baselines). In return for all this info I would kindly ask you to react to Live Aid 1985.

Queen created beautiful harmonies in the studios, but their live performances were on another level. They all were masters of their instruments. Freddie mentioned in an interview: „For Somebody To Love, we had the same 3 people singing on the big choir section, but I think it had a different kind of technical approach because it was a gospel way of singing - which was different to us. That track was me going a bit mad. I just wanted to write something in the Aretha Franklin kind of mode. I was inspired by the gospel approach she had on her earlier albums. Although it might sound like the same approach on the harmonies, it is very different in the studio because it’s a different range.”

Greatest group of all times.

Please stop calling them background singers. Those are members of the band who also play the instruments as well!!

Live at Montreal SOMEBODY TO LOVE is just as great

Like everyone else said- the live Montreal performance is the one you should do next (💜 that “outfit” from Freddie). After that work your way through the Live Aid set list. So you are fully prepared to react to Live Aid. Set list- Bohemian Rhapsody Radio GaGa Hammer to fall Crazy little thing called love We will Rock You We are the Champions. As always, this was a GREAT reaction! Edit: If I remember correctly you told another subscriber that you know We will Rock you/We are the Champions. You just didn’t know they were by Queen. So that means you are only three reactions away from knowing the entire set list. I’m so exited about that!

Great Reaction & I agree w/Deborah in the comments below! I'm also happy you did the Official Studio Video first. BUT NOW do the same song (trust us, the experience will be so worth it), "Somebody To Love, LIVE IN MONTREAL1981" version! In it, you'll see the power of Queen, and Freddie Mercury, live performances even better than the studio!.

If you want sheer "show-offery" from Freddie give "The Great Pretender" a listen. Pure Freddie.

Freddie, Brian and Roger did the back vocals added John on last backing vocals

Thing about Freddie is he had all the confidence on stage, but off stage he was extremely shy, hard to believe but true. Queen was fantastic, and Freddie could sing any type of music, even Opera.

The backup singers are: Brian May - lead guitarist, Roger Taylor - drummer and John Deacon - bass guitarist. Queen did it all themselves...... All 4 band members were exceptional musicians....... exceptional vocalists (except John) ...... and exceptional songwriters. Each of the 4 wrote some of the bands #1 hits - the only band that can claim that !!!! And they were all very highly educated: Freddie - graphic design, Brian May - astrophysicist, Roger Taylor - biology, John Deacon - electronics. The original 4 member of Queen were together for 20 years ........ from 1971 until Freddie's tragic death from AIDS in 1991. You have a long Queen journey ahead of you....... 20 years of Queen greatness..... Enjoy !!! And... you'll never get bored. Queen could sing any genre and they always surprised everyone with each of their albums and songs. And... they were even better live than in the studio...... Enjoy !!!

You NEED to react to Queen & Freddie Mercury performing LIVE, Honey.... Queen is actually the only band who are RENOWNED for being BETTER. LIVE.

Those super high notes in the background are from the drummer.

Backup singers are his bandmate Freddy Mecury was a hell of a performer

These are older reaction.....but I keep going back. You are still great. GOAT material.

This song really shows Freddie Mercury's vocal range. We lost a truly gifted musician when AIDS took him from this world on November 24, 1991.

This is Freddie's Tribute to Aretha Franklin. He adored her.

Freddie was inspired by Aretha for this song he loved her

Jumping on the bandwagon. 1981 live at Montreal please! Its just on another level.

This a studio video with some shots from live shows. Freddie Mercury lead singer, piano and guitar. Brian May, lead guitar, keyboards, vocals. Roger Taylor, drums and vocals. They say he hits those dog whistle notes. John Deacon bass guitar and some vocals, but he has said he can't sing.

Every member of the band had a good singing voice, although John (bass) didn't think he could sing, Freddie said he could.

Leotard? You ain’t seen nothing yet....wait until you see “Another one bites the dust”..live in Montreal..teeny shorts..no shirt and barefoot🤣...Freddie wrote this song as a tribute to Aretha Franklin...you have a lot of treats in store for you.great reaction🤩

One of thee greatest voices in actual rock bands. Phenom.

Queen 😍😍😍😍😍😍 they're the Simply Made of orange juice I'd also recommend "We are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You" - those are two I'd bet you've heard before!

Live version of this song! Montreal 1981! Pleaseeee

Queen’s 1985 LIVE AID concert. Legendary performance.

The studio version is great, but you must see the live version from 1981 in Montreal!! Mind blowing!!! Freddie is the ultimate performer and Queen is arguably the BEST live band ever. Their live performances are insane.

Great reaction! More Queen please thx

Freddie Mercury lead singer, piano, Dr Brian May lead guitar & vocals, Roger Taylor drums & vocals, John Deacon bass guitar sometimes vocals best band ever Queen ❤️yes please react to the live version from Montreal x

Perfect example of why 70’s music is AMAZING!! Write, arrange, play music and sing WITHOUT computers! True artists!

Freddie had 4 extra teeth that caused his over bite and refused to have them pulled as he thought it would alter his voice. He also had a large upper pallet which allowed him to have the best singing range ever. He was also classically. Freddie was a once in a lifetime phenomenon that will never be replicated. I absolutely loved this group and was fortunate to grow up with them in the 70’s and 80’s.

They met in university. And the guitarist who had you um-ing and ah-ing is also a world-renowned ASTRO PHYSIST...um and ah INDEED. The drummer does most if the falsettos too.

Please react to Save Me Live at Montreal by Queen. 🤍

Great to see people come to this new and be blown away. We lost him too soon.

I've been enjoying your Queen and Dimash Journeys. Ummmmmm. Dimash covers "Queen's - Show must go on" and Dimash and The Super Vocal Boys do a Queen Medley! Yes! Dimash singing covers of the best band in history!!!!! Epic

All the guys in queen are the vocalist lol

you always do great reactions, but this one was a Triple Threat ❣️1. the leotard 2. juice boxes 3. area 51. man, you're 😘

Freddie mercury lead singer the best

This song separates the wheat from the caff. At least Here Brian May and Roger Taylor should have pulled the Cord and should have broken Off their"+ Queen" with AL Where Freddie Mercury sang, celebrated the high noted/ the entire song full of power and passion as only he could....the singer who should do the same has yet to be born

He has passed away but what a talent he had!

This group is fabulous.

Wait have you not heard We Are the Champions”??? Cause me that’s their most classic

Next. “Now I’m here” live at wembley 1986.

congrats on new equipment. Freddie Mercury is Queen.

Queen and Phil Collins, two of my favorite groups/people. I raised my daughter on 1970's to 1980's groups and people. Amazing what was old is now new. I enjoy bands and individuals who can SING in person, not have to prance around on stage with background dancers, and who are nice people. Compare Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody with Pentatonix's version. Brian May, the guitarist for Queen, heard it and gave them his blessing.

I love both this and the live version immensely. Both are fantastic. Great reactions

Next please watch "Save me" pls. Live, it's very, very touching...

Your next QUEEN should be Queen Live Aid the full 20 minutes! It will blow you away! GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF ALL TIME!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🥰

Heros get remembered, but LEGENDS never die....RIP Freddie 🙏 Freddie Mercury (vocals) John Deacon (Bass) Brian May (guitar) Roger Taylor (Drums) All sing too...amazing!!! Listen to Freddie sing Barcelona, Radio Ga Ga

Those “background vocalists” are the drummer and guitar players!! Wonderfully talented group

NOW YOU NEED TO SEE "SOMEBODY TO LOVE" LIVE... TOTALLY DIFFERENT, BECAUSE QUEEN ALWAYS RE-WORKED THEIR SONGS FOR LIVE SHOWS TO GIVE THE AUDIENCE A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE. TWO BEST VERSIONS ARE: MILTON KEYNES BOWL IN 1982 MONTREAL IN 1981 (Montreal is the better-known one, due to the video's great HD quality. Milton Keynes is the lesser-known "hidden gem"... EVERY reactor who has seen both, have agreed that - for Freddie's vocals - Milton Keynes is the BEST.) TO SEE FREDDIE COMFORTABLE IN HIS OWN SKIN: ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, LIVE AT MONTREAL, 1981

Hey AB!!👍 I have a Song for YOU to LOVE!❣❣❣ DIMASH doing Freddy Mercury's ' The SHOW MUST GO ON'...written after he was diagnosed with AIDS.🥺😥😥😟😟😟 It Will Give you CHILLS and set you Heart on FIRE...swear to the Angel of Ora ge Juice!!!🙏🙏👍👍🥰🥰😂😂❣❣

No wrong live. Please, please watch "Find me somebody to love " Montreal 🙏 Live

I’ll comment and LIKE every Queen 👑 song! But please - there are some groups worth learning the members and paying respects, Queen is on that list - FREDDIE MERCURY - leads vocals and Rock God BRIAN MAY - guitar legend, backup vocals JOHN DEACON - bassist extraordinaire ROGER TAYLOR- top notch drummer and maker of those wonderful HIGH notes you compliment so often

Thanks AB - takin' us to church, right? :) -- Freddie was inspired by Aretha Franklin - and as everybody says below, go LIVE at Montreal - "iconic" --

That high note? Roger Taylor....the drummer. Yup. Watch the movie. It's a fair representation of their lives.

Freddie I’m a leotard /gallon of orange juice with his band incredible band mates/ orange juice boxes. 😂hilarious! Freddie’s favorite song dedicated to Aretha Franklin.

One study on Freddie's vocal range even confirmed that he was able to vary from about 92.2 Hz to 784 Hz, meaning he was reliably able to hit notes from the booming low of F#2 to the high pitch G5 - that covers a full three octaves!

You need to react to Queen’s Live Aid performance from July1985. Greatest live performance of all time !

Watch the recent movie "Bohemian rhapsody" starring Rami Malek as the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury. The other members did the background vocals🔥 U can watch Queen's short set at Live Aid 1985. Other Queen hits - "We will rock you"/ 'We are the champions' "Don't stop me now" 'Under pressure' (w/ David Bowie) 'Killer queen' 'I want it all' 'Another one bites the dust' 'Fat-bottomed girls' 'Innuendo' 'I want to break free' 'Who wants to live forever' 'Crazy little thing called love' 'The show must go on' 'Mother love' 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Brian May CBE is the lead guitarist, has a beautiful voice and fun fact, is also an astrophysicist. Roger Taylor OBE is the drummer(also has an absolutely seraphic voice-check it out when he does "Under Pressure" with Adam Lambert). John Deacon is the Bassist, and retired after Freddie's passing. They all have beautiful voices that harmonise well together. If you've not seen it, I highly recommend you watch Queen's Live Aid performance. It's quite possibly the most perfect live performance ever, from the timing, sound, vocals, everything.

U shud listen to Justin Drum AGT audition to this song. FYI Freddie was doing background harmonies as well. Queen is still touring.... Never the same w\o Freddie but still phenomenal!!!!

Love Queen! Omg, just the songs are amazing and the lyrics just wow. Go listen to Jeff Lynn's ELO, any of the songs, they are all fantastic.

You will never hear anyone better than Freddie Mercury- before auto tune- all raw talent- especially LIVE!! Queen- Look up Queen singing in 8D!! You think they are stomping inside your head-

There's only one Freddie... but for another amazing version of this song, check out Jordan Smith's Voice performance. It was live, with a choir, and is widely considered the the most EPIC Voice performance ever.

I hope you'll continue reacting to Queen, I usually suggest a few early Queen songs like Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow, Killer Queen and Fat Bottom Girls official videos and Live Aid for starters. Anything and everything from Montreal 1981 is a MUST! Princes of the Universe official video and One Vision, Now I'm here and Who wants to live forever all live at Wembley. Though that's just a fraction of their songs.

If you're going down the Queen rabbit hole, I'm coming! They are mindblowing live. One Vision alive at Wembley 1986. There's a great medley beginning with In the Lap of The Gods right after that, sequeing into Seven Seas of Rhye and finishing with Tear It Up! Practically anything from that concert is awwesome, but Freddie really gets the crowd going with Another One Bites the Dust! BTW, all four band members wrote #1 hits!

I think the videos are best to watch as they change it up so much in a live concert. 👍 but this is a blast of a song in real version. When he hits that high note..OMG.I LOVE YOU DOING THE FREDDY!😂 keep up the songs and laughs. New fan here. 😊

After you've done Somebody to Love Live in Montreal, you have to do White Queen Live at the Hammersmith Odeon 1975!! Your ears will thank you!

Please watch Queen at Wimbly Stadium... Considered to be the best live show of all time! Then watch Elton John talk about Freddy in a David Willims special!!! Call me when you need me to cry with you! ✌️😎

Notice the 'backup singers' are also his drummer & guitarists. His band could do it all. When Freddie dies, after a while, they started touring again with a new lead singer, Adam Lambert & maybe he didn't write or create these masterpieces, he does a damn good job, emulating Freddie. I was pleasantly shocked, when I heard Queen, with a new queen. Both Adam & Freddie are gay & beloved as they are. You might wanna check one out with his singing, to compare his performances to Freddies. Definitely different styles of dressing, but Adam tries to do Freddies songs like Freddie.

Nice reaction. Freddie Mercury lead singer and pianist, Brian May guitar and vocals, Roger Taylor drums and vocals and John Deacon Bass and some vocals.

I started listening to you today. I watched you cover 2 Righteous Brothers songs and a couple from Queen. I wanted you to know, I am a white man and I thoroughly enjoy your facial expressions when you hear something you love. I am from that era of Queen and also listened to many older entertainers from the 60's on up. Hearing Unchained Melody from the Righteous Brothers brought to mind a vocalist from a period of the mid 80's (perhaps earlier) Aaron Neville. I thought he was the one who invented that style of "crooning", but it seems I was wrong. Thank you for bringing this amazing music to light for the younger generations! Keep doing what you do, Sir!

Please please do anything/everything LIVE by Queen. This song live in Montreal will blow you away.

It took Freddie a while (and many tries) to find that somebody to love, but he found him in 1985, and they were together until Freddie's death in 1991. They called each other husband

Schatzy, if you post a video today, Freddies 30th Anniversay of his passing, your numbersof new subs will make a supersonic man out of you...trust me! Love, Peace and Joy

We kidded bout Freddie when I was a kid, but as I grew up, I had to recognize. Dude was one of the best vocalists in Rock history and his band was incredible. God bless you, Brother. Keep rocking and loving life
