Queen | Seventeen Year-Old Reaction | Somebody to Love 

Roger Taylor is the secret weapon in this performance. Everyone knows how great Freddie was, but Taylor and May's vocals were such a huge, yet overlooked, part of their vocal sound. Roger is just KILLING it on this.

Superman should wear a Freddie Mercury shirt!

I can never get enough of people hearing this for the first time 👏 I also can’t get enough of Roger Taylor’s voice at the end. Love your videos by the way!

Every time I hear this, when Fred says "okay let's do it!" I cry.. I've watched this thousands of times. They're magic live!!!

One of the beauties of Freddie Mercury is that his voice is as perfect live as it was when recorded. Love this!

Your son might also appreciate that Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics and was a science collaborator for NASA - that's pretty impressive! 😃

It isn't just Freddie there are FOUR guys there! May's a great guitarist and Taylor is a perfect drummer for Queen. When Roger and John get into a rhythm together they are matchless. And Roger is singing, too, whilst drumming. Freddie's a great front man but he's backed by equal talents!

I saw your boy crack a smile. It's inevitable when watching Freddie perform. He's so passionate about what he does you can't help but smile. Freddie was one in a trillion. This is Queen firing on all cylinders. Four dudes played that song beautifully. Good stuff.

That song is just so damn special. From the point of lyrics: Find me somebody to love! That is almost unique. Most songs are just somebody should/has to love me. Freddie was an unbeatable stage presence! Don't care who is better or you like more. He just owned the stage and crowd. And the whole band itself! The moment you see Roger beating the drums AND sing... priceless. Not only is he a really good drummer... he is a damn good vocalist too. Your daughter should listen to this too!

You should react to Under Pressure Live at Wembley in 1986 next

My 1st reaction to Queen... *"OMFG, I know some of these songs, never knew it's Queen, how tf haven't I known Queen before, wow, I love Queen"*

I completely missed your reaction. Freddie Mercury has hypnotized me yet again.

Give us more Queen!!! It's very good!!! I love Queen, I love you. It's the best combination!!

I've watched this hundreds of times, can watch another 100❤️. Right now😍😥

Best frontman in rock n roll history and his beautiful voice. My god 1 in a billion voice.

Best version I think! Queen was my very first concert...this very tour! I was 14 and saw them at The Forum in LA...1982. No concert has ever been as good as that one was!!! I miss Freddie!

First saw Queen in ‘75,my uncle took me on Xmas Eve to the Hammersmith Odeon,there I watched the greatest frontman ever supported by 3 fantastic musicians perform songs like Ogre Battle,Brighton Rock,Seven Seas Of Rhye and the always phenomenal Bohemian Rhapsody,I was 13 years old and been a fan ever since 👍🏻

You should definitely do this one for your daughter to. I think this one will be a hit for her

That was so cool; especially how Dad held his enthusiasm and his son's emotions measurably escaped when Freddie exploded even more at the end.....really neat reactions. Thanks

I'm a 31 yr old BLACK female, mostly raised on a hip hop and r&b, but I ADORE Queen and Freddie Mercury! It's just such great music and his performances--wow! Like you can feel the passion! I love everything Queen and Freddie Mercury. My 6 yr old's favorite song is Bohemian Rhapsody LOL! Wish Freddie were still around so I could see him live in concert :-(

I watched this to see a teen's reaction during the performance, but I couldn't take my eyes off of Freddie and the band!

Yeah !!!! My favorite Queen song! Freddy was the best ! And Roger Taylor’s background vocals though !! Sounds like an electric guitar lol great video ! ! My 19 hear old niece went to see Bohemian Rhapsody with me and I was thinking “ she’s not going to like this “ lol well she did say she enjoyed it, days later she was constantly texting me asking me about certain songs , then actually came to my house talking about it 🤣 then on her snap chat singing we are the champions . Kids need to know about this music !😊

Omg Freddie Mercury hes just mesmerising i honestly have never heard anyone who can sing like this.But he was an all rounder thats what makes him so amazing.

OMG. I'VE been waiting for this one. thank you 😍

I can't help but get emotional and excited every time I hear this song! Freddie Mercury is one of a kind. Love, love, love this song

I'm 74 and loved the 60's-- Queen, Led Zep, Stones and the Beatles-my kids were 7 and 10---it was passed on to my grandchildren-they were brought up with that music--and we all still love it and rock out with it!!!!!!

Love your channel! I love the back stories! And I am completely obsessed with Queen and in love with Freddie, so these are my favorite reactions.

Thanks for each and every reaction. I'm a huge Queen fan (I was at the July 1986 Wembley concert). To the people who criticize you when you stop the video: Pshaw!! You stop the video so you're not trying to talk over it. And your unbridled enthusiasm for the music -- which is contagious, BTW -- is what makes your reactions honest. And since this is a reaction channel rather than a let's watch music videos channel, that's how it should be. Please keep on keepin' on. And it's great that you involve your kids. It expands their music horizons, and makes for a great family activity. You're a good Dad.

OMG best vocalist ever

I had the pleasure of seeing Queen twice, while Freddy was alive, both times at Madison Square Garden. The first time was a few months before this was filmed, during the opeing leg of the US tour for the Game album September 1980 and again in July of 1982 for the Hot Space tour, Billy Squier opened for them. Now that's someone you should have your kids react to, Lonely is the Night, My Kinda Lover, The Stroke, Too Daze Gone, In the Dark all rock classics. Oh and my daughter, who was 14 or 15 at the time, used to head bang to Bohemian Rhapsody in the car when it came on, ala "Wayne's World".

He was THE BEST front man of all time!

This is my favorite thing about YT is reacting to people reacting to my favorite things. I can't get enough of the giddy feeling of watching someone experience bands like Queen for the first time.

I get the Dad's excitement ( Me after I truly discovered Queen and Freddie through Bohemian Rhapsody) I so love Freddie so much now. And I kind of passed My Love for Freddie's voice to my teen, she gives me a hard time pretending not to be impressed but I find her listening to Queen and Singing so I think she's a secret Fan !!

I am so thankful that I got to see this tour in 1980, I was only 15 years old when I got to sing along with Freddie that wonderful night, it was so amazing, don't know how many attended that night, but every person sang along to every song that they performed, I will never forget that night, seen many great bands back then, but no one topped them live!!!!!!

I have to say watching you enjoy the song and the video showing the emotions people feel when FREDDIE performs... I feel it too!!

I'm 17 myself and it's great to see parents showing and sharing their love of a certain band or singer with their child. My parents have always played music they've grown up listening to (whether it be classic rock, country, rap, or whatever) and I'm so thankful they did that since I know I can love and cherish music like Queen and just remember so many great memories with my family when listening to certain songs. This is by far my favorite song and live performance of Somebody To Love. Great video! Props to you for being an awesome parent.

Seeing them perform it live At Madison Square Garden in 1977 brings back a lot of great memories. Greatest front man . Period.

Absolutely loved the reaction and this song! Thank you! Change it up and do Queen "Love of My Life and Is This the World that We Created live at Wembley"

.Been listening to Queen for over 50 years and you will never see hear any thing like Queen ever again and beloved Freddie

People always credit Freddie (as they should) for vocals but the rest of the group also could Hold their own on vocals!

Wimbly live in 86 ! The entire concert was extremely fabulous over the top fantastic!!!!! Love and miss Freddie so much! Love Queen!! Thanks for doing these videos! My 5 year old grand daughter knows who Freddie is and claps along with Radio Ga Ga! Long live Queen!

Love the dad with that "knowing" grin. He may not understand the depth of Freddie's vocals and performance, but some day he'll get it fully.

The joy on your (Dad's) face is priceless!!!

He was not ready to ear such a powerfull voice 😂

This has to be one of the best live versions of a song out there. I saw these guys in concert in '82 and they were awesome. I have been to so many concerts it seems like I have taken that for granted. With all the bands slowly going away it's sucks getting old. To all the young people out there, there was a cool guy that once said "Live now make now the most precious time, now will never come again" That has to be my favorite quote. Great review.

PLEASE DO MORE QUEEN, WE ALL LOVE QUEEN, plus I love your face during the song, I pull the same face, I love them so much

This whole show is amazing. Freddie was ON FIRE

I have a Top 10 list of concerts that I wish I had gone to. Two of them are Queen, Live Aid and Montreal '81. Out of all the great concerts and singers, they top my personal list.

LOVE this performance!! Have watched it MANY times so I was enjoying watching you watching it!! The smile on your face says it all!! IMO no one can beat Queen live! Might be be fun to see your son's reaction to Roger Taylor's I'm In Love With My Car...short but so sweet!!!

There was a comment about that shirt. They said that Superman was somewhere, wearing a Freddie Mercury shirt. The person who said that owns the internet 🤩

Freddie Mercury is iconic. Talented. Engaging.

Freddie Mercury OMG I get chills everytime I watch the video. What an incredible legend. Queen the whole band just absolutely amazing. RIP Freddie Mercury you are so dearly missed. ❤❤❤❤

This performance sold me on Roger Taylor. His voice is amazing

O my God, i never noticed how easy its for him to go right into this heady A7 7:42 Its a huge note. He was in a really shape that night

I’m so jealous of my dad. His first ever concert was Queen on the A Night at the Opera Tour at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre during his senior year of high school. And he hadn’t even originally planned to go! A friend of his called him at the last minute and said “Hey, I’ve got an extra ticket to the Queen concert. You wanna go?”

Freddy Mercury was a amazing talent

I saw Queen with Freddy Mercury in concert live in Caracas Venezuela in the mid 1970's. What a performer Freddy was, he had all of us hypnotized, especially when he sang Bohemian Rhapsody...damn! I thought the whole venue was going to explode..!! everybody went nuts, the police was in front of the stage the whole time during the concert looking at us, wearing white helmets with the PM logo (Policia Metropolitana), billy clubs, guns and a stern look on their eyes. Unforgettable experience. With the release of the movie about Freddy Mercury's life, that experience is even more significant to me. Now when people say to me they saw the movie and love it, I tell them:... I saw him live!!!

Do under pressure Queen live Wembley Stadium 1986

How can anyone not get drawn completely into the 80s and this amazing talent gone too soon

This is probably my favorite Queen songs, to be honest. Just the passion, the power, the technical ability in this song. Second to none. “Love Of My Life” is also a favorite of mine:

Freddie Mercury he is wearing his Superman wife beater and old school adidas classic Freddie . Rip our beautiful Queen 👑 They were musical geniuses. And his voice is a gift to all.

React to Killer queen + I'm in love with my car live Montreal, it's amazing

He definitely was and is one of if not the greatest frontmen of all time, as you said, no one else has ever achieved what queen did, and especially with their performance at live aid, they pretty much set the standard for what live shows should be, and here in the UK, if you don't like Queen, we pretty much just ignore you in every way possible lol, also Freddie as a whole, there's no other artist I know of that still to this day bares as much deep love from the public world wide that he does, he just enticed and drew you in with every song and every performance. Heaven truly gained an angel the day he passed that's for sure, and as Brian said, with a tear in his eye, he really wishes Freddie was here to see their continued success and the publics never ending love for Freddie worldwide. But as in the lyrics of the show must go on (one of my most closely relatable and personal favourites) the lines, "My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies, fairytales of yesterday, will grow but never die, I can fly my friends" such a beautiful line and written obviously Freddie and Brian whilst Freddie was getting worse by the day health wise. That song is pretty much his autobiography to and for us.

Freddie was so much more than a ‘frontman’, he’s also an exceptional pianist, composer, songwriter and of course singer. He was also very kind, funny, wonderfully witty and sassy. The one and only, Freddie Mercury ❤️

They all had degrees - and were a Phenomenal rock band.

You're a great dad for introducing your son to the greatness of Freddie Mercury and Queen!

React to "In The Lap Of The Gods" and "I'm In Love With My Car"... please.

I was lucky to see Queen back in the early 80’s! Best show to this day I have ever seen!! Amazing! I love this version!!

Nobody could ever top Freddy’s style. He’s a legend who will last forever.

Let me just say, I have a huge passion for music... Pearl Jam, DMB, Queen, Jack Johnson, Chris Cornell (RIP, I miss you 3,000), amongst so many others... I hope one day I can get my children (12 year old girl and 5 year old boy) to enjoy music that I love the way you have with yours. And I also hope that one day one of my children can introduce some decent music to me. I love watching younger generations appreciate the fantastic music from previous generations and when that appreciation is shared between parent and child, there is NOTHING better!!! Love it!! I’m a die hard Pearl Jam fan and try not to force it down their throats as you like what you like. I can’t wait to take my daughter to her first PJ show (I’ve been to 42). Fantastic stuff!!

We all mourn the loss of Freddie but at 68 years old I am so looking forward to seeing Queen with Adam Lambert in June 2020 at the O2 in London. Old rockers never die!!

Ahh Freddie we miss you man. You know it makes you wonder about all these great artists who have passed and if they were still around today, the music they could still be producing but sadly we could never hear..

I love that you’re teaching your kids the « classics of Rick ´n Roll... be sure to tell them that Freddie Mercury’s beautiful live vocals are even more impressive because that was BEFORE the corrective software in today’s performers’ microphones that can adjust iff-key singing by as much as ½ pitch! Freddie’s voice is PURE!

I defy you to point me to one star today (just one) who can deliver such incredible charisma, and impact the stage to the point of literally directing an audience of 50 thousand people the way a movie director manipulates a scene....Freddies sheer talent, and unparalelled style were to rock -pop music what Beethoven, Mozart, and Brahms were to classical . Just WOW....

FREDDIE... the KING of QUEEN

This is an amazing performance but also illustrates how integral the other musicians were to this group. Taylor, for example, is over there doing the backing vocals AND drumming. The others are rocking right along. The four of them were so fantastic together.

Freddie Mercury , He can never repeat: never be replaced ❤️🙏❤️🌹

I love how the dad is smiling through the whole video 😭😭❤️ Queen is amazing. Best group ever.

I enjoyed it thank you so much if these kids only knew what they are missing so much kickass music out there I'm a big Zeppelin fan😎

I love how the moment the instrumentals start your son is bobbing his head.

La mejor presentación de somebody to love que hizo Freddie!! Sus lágrimas al cantar! Sublime!!!💚

... Really Enjoyed Your Reaction To This...My All Time Favourite Performance From Anyone EVER..."Queen" Are Phenomenal Collectively Together...But "Freddie Mercury" Is My Supreme Favourite Performer/Singer/Showman...The Bestest In Everything Musical Of This Century In My Opinion!!!... Gone Far Too Soon But NEVER Forgotten 😥 He Is The Ultimate Legend Of Legends!! In A World Fallen On Such Scary/Uncertain Times THANK-YOU For Bringing A Lil Smile To My Face With This... Respect Rach UK x

Love Freddie live.....anytime!!!!!!!!!!!

Great reaction thanks! No auto tune, no tracks just pure talent, the energy they give is outstanding. Roger's back up vocal while keeping the beat is just amazing. Please do some 70's songs like White queen live at the Odeon,Hammersmith, You take my breath away live at Hyde park and then the studio version, the prophet's song studio version...for beginning, there are so many more to enjoy. And I do like your energy, it shows you like them, don't change a thing. I like the superman t shirt. Someone wrote Superman should wear a Freddie's t shirt.

What charisma. One of my all time favorite Queen songs. I can't watch videos anymore, only live. Check out "Liar"...

Queen - In the lap of the gods - live Hammersmith Odeon. Best live performance from Freddie. His voice was at the best of his power.

since your son is into Queen now, I think he 'll be amazed by Freddie's tribute concert! the crowd at that concert are amazing! he'll be shocked!

Not just fans but just about every musician on the planet agree Freddie was a god. Charisma, stage presence, talent, crowd control, no one comes close to Freddie. Btw, Superman wears a Freddie tshirt.

Love the way you love his voice and music, I think I have exactly the same face whenever I watch his videos. Thanks for sharing real music 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I always thought that Freddie Mercury singing with all his body...... with every pore... through his entire humanity... every fiber of his body was singing with him!!! I feel the same every time I saw him in a concert ... every time he closed his eyes and let his head back behind ... every time his hands and fingers flew up and down trough his microphone 🎤 (please Sorry about my poor English)

One of, if not the best performance of Somebody To Love ever UGH ITS JUST TOO GOOD. like hOW?? he puts so much work into every note, adlib, etc, and I love it so much omg

Freddy wrote this song loosely about himself. He was very lonely much of his life, especially his early life - first trying to understand being gay and then to find someone who really cared about him. The first true love he had after coming out really just used him. But he lived through it and this song helped the healing process and let him find himself in his music. I think that's that why he is so passionate when he did this song. He is always a huge stage presence but this song really used to bring the best out.

We dont explain Queen ! Just listen. I was in a concert, here in Brussels, in 1980 !

This is my fav Queen song. No one can do it like Freddie

Thank you for doing my recommendation and that u enjoyed it. There was noone else like him.

That concert in Montreal was near perfect. Every song was crisp. Freddie was definitely in his prime. A must watch.

I like when young people find these videos on their own without their parents. Then you really know their true reactions.

Good video as always! I love Queen so much! I think you should make more videos about Queen. You're not gonna run out of songs with them! I'm already waiting for your next video!

Thank you!! This is one of my best live performances by Queen!! It’s one of the greatest of all time and sets the bar with live aid.

Hey guys! Great video first of all!🤘🏻 and you know what I think makes Queen so special is the fact that they harmonize so well together! And I’m not only talking about their voices harmonizing but also about them as persons!♥️ Freddie for example never considered himself as „the leader of the band“. He always explained that he’s just the lead singer but that they are four equal people and that everyone is just as important for the band than the other. I think it’s a very rare thing to hear from a rockstar/band nowadays but also from one back then! The talent of the four is just incredible! No wonder that they are actually the only band world wide in which every member wrote at least one no. 1 hit!👍🏻 And beside Freddie Brian and Roger are amazing singers as well!!😳 They are actually lead singing lots of songs on the albums!👌🏻 Sad that John always thought he couldn’t sing that well😌😊 would’ve loved to hear him sing😚 see ya !!
