Queen - Don't Stop Me Now (REACTION!!!) 

Just a heads up. This is an older early access Patreon video from 3 YEARS AGO guys. Thanks for watching. Enjoy!

Freddie was always in his prime

"Don't Stop Me Now" was voted the happiest song of all time.

If you really want to see Freddie's stage presence on it's full glory, you need to do the Live Aid concert! It's only 20 minutes but it really showcases Queen and Freddie's live performance on their full potential. It is considered one of the greatest performances of all time by any band.

He's the greatest front man in the history of rock and roll!

This song is legit an anti-depression therapy for me. Blast it and force myself to sing along. It never fails to lift my mood.

Scientifically proven to be the happiest song ever written.

The University of Missouri in 2016 did a study and declared this to be the happiest song ever written.....for real.

George and Ryan, You want to see Freddie in full stage presence watch the 18 video of Queen from Live Aid in 1985. One of the greatest live performances ever in rock history.

There's not many bands that put a smile on your face like Queen does. They appeal to all walks of life.

Freddie was always in his prime..his prime never left...

Guys, LIVE AID '85! 20 Minutes of pure Magic! The highpoint of their career and one of the best performances ever.

This is one of the most motivational songs in human history. I've heard it hundreds of times and get goosebumps every single time I hear it.

You should really do the live aid concert :)

Watch the Live Aid performance! It’s 18 minutes long, and they cover a range of their catalog and showcase their diversity!

So sad he passed so young. What a talent. The whole band was brilliant, but Freddie was something really special. Like Ella, Bing Crosby, Sinatra, and Karen Carpenter, these "voices" come along only once in a long, long time. There are many great singers, but these artists were in their own league.

The use of this song in the movie “Shaun Of The Dead” is absolutely perfect & completely hilarious 👍

Have to do “Somebody to Love” live in Montreal. I swear it is one of the greatest live performances EVER! It is a MUST see.

Freddie had the most amazing voice,gives me chills.

Freddie was the best! Could sing any style from opera to metal.

there will only ever be one freddie. there may be others with similar ability... but freddie was, as george said, one in a lifetime. a star. the fact that him and david bowie were on planet earth at the same time... what a blessing to humanity.

The two best examples of his spectacular stage presence were their show in Montreal, and at Live Aid.

Please do the whole Queen portion of Live Aid! It is the most amazing live performance ever!

Queen at Live Aid 1985, 20 minutes of pure fire 🔥 , one you simply have to watch.

Queen IS a crown jewel in music. Doesn't have to be playlist. It's still damn good.

Freddie was something else he was the beast

Friend of mine said he saw Queen in a small venue in Washington State while they were on their rise. He said it was the best live performance he’d ever seen, said Freddie was incredible to see in person.

One of those bands respected more retroactively than when they were actually together. Not that they weren't popular in their prime, but there were plenty of naysayers back then. Like John Travolta, they had a resurgence. For _Queen_ thanks to their _'Live Aid'_ performance!

Love Queen! As others have suggested, Somebody to Love (live in Montreal, 1981) and Queen's set from the Live Aid concert from 1985. Incredible performances! 💖😎

Queen’s “Somebody to Love” video live in Montreal ‘81 is incredible. That is a must watch. Long runs, y’all would really enjoy it!!

Bob Marley and the wailers, Queen, and Daft punk are performers that I know would give me chills up and down my spine if I had an opportunity to watch them live.

Also their lead guitarist Brian May is a very interesting unique character himself. PhD in astronomy among other accolades, and he and his dad actually built his first guitar.

Queen is my favorite band, and I don't say that lightly. Queen is my favorite band. One of the things that made them so incredible was that every band member wrote songs for Queen, which is why you get so many different kinds of songs from them.

Cool, each member had they're own unique 'engine', they were the first band to be inducted into the songwriters hall of fame, all members had hit songs. Seen them live in 84 RDS Dublin, man oh man, something to behold.

So fun fact all four members write and have written #1 hits for the band. For instance the bassist John Deacon wrote Another One Bites The Dust. The guitarist Brian May who is also a rocket scientist and astrophysicist wrote We Will Rock You. His voice his actually my favorite. Listen to the Queen song All Dead All Dead or Sail Away Sweet Sister. Brian sings on those. Also Freddie was bisexual. The Queen song Love Of My Life is about his true love Mary Austin. Give them a listen.

I was blessed to have seen Queen twice in concert. Incredibly amazing shows. Mr. Mercury was phenomenal and we’ll never have another prize like him!

Dragon Attack is one of John Deacons best bass lines.

Simply the vocal Goat of all time. RJ Dio is in the same ballpark along with Michael but Freddie could go from Operatic to Heavy Rock without blinking.

That Jazz album cover to cover is by far my fave. So good

Freddie owned any stage he stood on! Heck, he owned any space he stood in. One of a kind, that's for sure.

There will never come another Freddie Mercury. Godspeed for the most astonishing Voice Rock Music has ever heard.

Just want to share that my brother and I, along with a cousin and a good buddy got to see Queen live in Oakland, CA, with Freddie. We were blown away by his stage presence and the bands amazing show. We were fans from their early beginnings, before they went pop. We didn't care for the pop songs very much, but it helped bring them to the masses. This song "Don't Stop me now" was not a big pop hit here in the US, but man I remember thinking, one day, people will actually listen to this song, and it will inspire a lot of people. Funny almost 40 years later it's more popular now than it was when it came out. My young nieces and nephews have adopted this song as one of their favorite Queen songs. Last year 2 of them performed the song via Karaoke during a Christmas Gathering. I love hearing young kids listening and appreciating great music of yesterday. Thanks to the Bohemian Rhapsody movie that for me finally gave Freddie the world wide acclaim that was due to him.

Saw them live in 1978. One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen many. I was on the floor in the sixth row and for the encore we all walked up to the stage. I was 10 ft away from that man! High energy is what he was. And pure talent.

Freddie wrote this song !!! R.I.P. Freddie Mercury !!! 🙏

I’ve been listening to Queen since the 1970’s and they just got better and better. Apart from Bohemian Rapsody, the Live Aid concert absolutely showcased their talent and Freddie’s vocal brilliance

FYI - Freddie had an intriguing physical phenomenon called subharmonics that he used to drive his vocals to the limit. Subharmonic is a form of singing where the vocal folds vibrate along with a pair of tissue structures called ventricular folds. This form of singing is only used by Tuvan throat singers of Mongolia, except in a more extreme way. Also, Freddie’s vocal cords vibrated at 7.04 Hz - higher than a typical vibrato range of 5.4 Hz to 6.0 Hz. To put it more scientifically, the famous opera singer Luciano Pavarotti produced a perfect sine wave for vibrato when he sang - a value of 1. Freddie, on the other hand, averaged a value of 0.57 - which means he was vibrating something in his throat even Pavarotti couldn’t move.

I second any and all comments on doing a Queen live aid reaction. You will have never seen any performance where the frontman has absolute control over a whole stadium. He's without doubt the greatest frontman there's ever been. Even when he met the band as they were looking for a singer he told them "I'm going to be a legend."

Freddie is and always will be the most amazing front man ever. He was a showman and had the most amazing voice.

For people who dont know of queen all that well.. or didnt realize that queen did this song or that(i was one) and then you start going down the rabbit hole and seeing this band in all its glory .. they have been an influence.. and will continue to do so!! HER MAJESTY…. QUEEN!!

Somebody To Love has to be next on your Queen list. Many people like the live version but I prefer the studio.

Live aid ‘85. Queen owned the stage. I was there and there were many excellent performances at Wembley on that boiling hot day,the who,status quo etc but Freddie and the boys nailed it.

Queen did/still have a musical based on them called We Will Rock You

thanks guys -check out Queen live at Wembley - over 80,000 in attendance from 1986. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely LOVE Queen .. and I used to love this song ... till I heard Brian May saying he didn't want to release it because of what it was actually about .. It has a darker meaning ..

Trust…live was MAGIC! Five concerts with Freddie on lead. All at Oakland Coliseum. Had our Union Jack out (general seating in the day). Bunch of fellow Brits told us to come to their section (we did). Had closer seats. When the encores were happening and they played God Save The Queen, the band saw our section and our HUUUUGE British flag, they all pointed and came over to our side and bowed to us. Awesome.

This is my all time favorite Queen song, just because everything about it is so much fun! Listening to it always puts a smile on my face, no matter what else may be going on.

I always see Sean of the dead when I hear this now...the jukebox while fighting the zombie bartender. The zombies outside like a concert crowd with the flashing lights was awesome. 😂

I LOVE watching people experience Queen, ESPECIALLY “Don’t Stop Me Now!” This, “Somebody To Love,” and “Under Pressure” always bring me to happy tears 🥹 Much love, guys!

That shit live WAS incredible! I saw Queen in concert in the 80’s in West Germany.

Would love to see them react to Queen's "Innuendo" since it has such a different vibe but is still an awesome song.

One of the few songs that makes me wanna cry of happiness

You guys should explore some of Freddie’s “vocals only” tracks. His voice takes your breath away. There’s a version of this song that’s his vocals only, also Somebody to Love is a great one.

My R&B a la Queen is a ballad from "Highlander" called ONE YEAR OF LOVE. Soars! For fun I love COOL CATS. You want a sampler shot of Queen LIVE, there's always LIVE AID 1985 (Global benefit concert for faminine in Ethiopia). Queen wasn't announced till late, but that didn't stop them from commanding right out of the gate.

My youngest son is a complete metal head that listens to Slayer and Slipknot, but this is his fave. Queen song. It's like a total Broadway tune and he loves it. lol I didn't see that coming.

If you haven't yet you MUST do Somebody To Love, live in Montreal 1981. It is one of the best live performances ever!!! ❤🔥❤🔥

Freddie loved everybody and shared his love of life with everybody. He was an awesome person with a wonderful heart. That is a goal we should all strive for! Rock on!!!!

Does anyone else feel just a little sad at the end of the song when Freddie fades out like that and you're reminded such a talent was gone too soon?

I think this goes on like a - mopping the kitchen - type playlist, singing and goofing while doing chores

All of Queen's Live Aid performance was soooo gooood!!! Queen apparently was not scheduled to appear at Live Aid but they were called at the last minute to fill a vacant spot, may have been a group that no-showed. Freddie apparently also had a high fever during the whole performance but you couldn't tell! What a legendary band and Live Aid performance!!!

Freddie Mercury - The ultimate GOAT of frontmen and as a lead vocalist, you can disagree, but you'd be wrong, simple as !!! Goodnight

Extremely versatile no song sounds the same

Live Aid, guys! Live Aid!

There live performances are all iconic and legendary. There music is timeless.

It's great seeing you guys smiling throughout that video. I'm pretty sure that's exactly how Freddie Mercury and Queen would want you to respond to this song. Just a good fun rock n roll pop song. Good pick for a reaction.

If you really want to see live .. the live aid concert of them I think was the best ever performance of a live group .. strap in and watch

My first concert ever. Nobody comes close!! It was an amazing show!!!

I can’t watch Freddie performing without tearing up.

Freddie was born to be a true rock icon and legend.

Queen Live AID full performance is incredible

Somebody to Love live in Montreal 1981. You will be blown away

Absolutely one of the best bands ever, Queens legendary live performances were absolutely amazing and Freddie’s flamboyant performances were outstanding he always played to the crowds and had them in the palm of his hand , All the members of Queen have written No 1 hits , and Queens greatest hits is still the best selling album of all time in 🇬🇧 Uk , Queen have sold over 300 million albums worldwide,Michael Jackson was a Queen fan and it wasn’t unusual to see him attending a Queen concert, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson did a couple of duets together in Michaels studio, but one day Freddie said I cannot work with Michael again, asked why Freddie replied Jackson insisted on bringing his pet Lama into the studio, check out Queens Live Aid performance, classed as the greatest live performance of a band , were they stole the show from 20 other famous artists who also played that day at Wembley Stadium 1985 , great reaction thanks !

This will pop in your head when you least expect it, especially when driving!

My 3 and 6 year old granddaughters adore Queen 🥰 This there favorite livingroom dance party song 🔥🦄

They had a Queen musical in Vegas for a while. It was called "We Will Rock You". I saw it years ago and it featured tons of Queen's music and was written by guys in the band.

I saw this tour.Queen - Jazz Got my father to take myself and friend when in 6th grade.(circa 78)

That Gap Band reference just cracked me up! You guys are the best man...us rock music fans, and I'm sure a lot of us appreciate you guys. It sparks new interest in the music that we grew up with in the 70s and 80s...Keep the faith!

This isn't a live performance. You should watch him performing...he is awesome!!

I enjoy Queen, but I prefer the Queen songs that rock harder than this one. But, they were all talented and made such great music.

Yup, its the Live Aid concert you should watch. Its Unbelievable.

Freddy was the greatest frontman ever. But, the band completed him. He would not have been the performer he was without them.

Based on a scientific study, this song was named the Happiest song on earth. I agree with this, as you cannot listen to this song without smiling and moving. Certainly a great song to start the day. Enjoyed your reaction! For an early Queen song,please consider Stone Cold Crazy live at the Rainbow 1974.

I would've thought the absolute groove of not only the bass, but also the piano would've had this make both of your playlists. This song is absolutely in my top 5 Queen songs of all time, along with Seven Seas of Rhye (again, amazing piano work in that one.) I don't think either of these are in their "mainstream top 10 hits" though. Definitely not Seven Seas, *maybe* Don't Stop Me Now might hit #10, but it's generally not in their top 5 radio hits. I don't care so much about "top playlists" anymore at my age (mid 40's) - I love Queen for who they are and I've been listening to their music since I was a little kid. My first song of theirs that I remember loving was "Crazy Little Thing Called Love." I didn't hear Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time until the mid-late 80's, then I saw it became HUGE when it was on the soundtrack for Wayne's World, and everyone in school was saying "Look at this amazing new Queen song!" ... that came out in the mid 70's. Awesome reaction as always guys, even if I love it more than you do :)

I enjoyed your reactions. And yes, you definitely need to check them out live because it's a whole new level.

you should check him out singing Barcelona that is when you see him not in his natural environment.... but he still kills it

Probably the greatest front man of all time. There’s some debate about it but he probably edges out everyone. What a treasure. Imagine not having any songs from queen to listen to. The world is way better for them being in it.

Freddie was a force of nature, but all the other guys in the band were fantastic musicians and singers, too. Can't sit still when this one is playing!

You mentioned Prince and Freddie loved Prince. A personal assistant of his said that Freddie had a habit of coming in from a night out or something and playing a VHS of the Prince concert. And forced anyone around to watch. He would pause, rewind, go forward, and excitedly comment on what he saw.

Most people have no idea that the Guitarist Brian May @8:39 co-founded Queen with Freddie Mercury and went on to become a well-known Astrophysicist and was eventually Knighted. He has gone on to perform with Adam Lambert and Lady Gaga.

5 songs you should do to understand everything: - Somebody to love live in Montreal. You'll see why he's considered the best and they're regarded as one of the best live acts. - The Show Must Go On. Recorded in one take. He was really sick by then. - Who wants to live forever. Great video too. - Innuendo. It'll blow your mind - Tie Your Mother Down. Their best hard rock song from the 70's. 'I Want It All' would be its 80's equivalent.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It is one of my favorite songs to get hyped and a great car song. One of my top favorite Queen songs and just one of my all time favorite songs ever!
