"YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH MY MUSIC JUST DONT MAKE IT BORING" GREATEST OF ALL TIME THE LEGEND-FREEDIE MERCURY

@Triumph-nz8pt 3 года назад

Well, in my opinion we may as well scrap all except 1, 3 and 10. Some of these people are trying to DO Freddie and that's an impossible task. You cannot become Freddie (although Adam is doing great with Queen). You have to have all of the elements of Freddie, and then throw tremendous showmanship on top. Remember Live Aid?? Who can command an audience that huge to sing for you. He was perfect that day as always. So......not possible on this show. Some are great singers, just NOT Freddie.

How I long for a day where a video of a Queen's cover comes and with no comments saying "Freddie is the best, nobody can be him" because of course that's a given, everybody knows that. They're not trying to be freddie, that's why it's called "cover"
