@sjc4 she mentioned that Stevie backed her up in that song...I never knew that... I also didn't know about her untimely untimely death 4 years later. That's so incredibly sad. I used to listen to her record as a little girl with my mother along with all of Stevies Wonders music, The Temptations, 4 Seasons, along with others I can't think of during the early 70's forward into the 80's, maybe even earlier when I was a tiny tot, Lol. Every song brings me a great memory. I just realized my dad probably has all of the albums still even though she's passed away. Going through those would be so fun. I still need to upgrade my turn table and sound system. Mine is currently unworthy of any LP's. Anyone have any suggestions? I would like speakers too....but will have to get things a little at a time (maybe).

I did Bohemian Rhapsody with an absolute stranger at a karaoke bar once, as she was looking for a partner. Surprisingly enough, we harmonized very well and fell into our parts easily! It was so much fun! The crowd absolutely loved it! I didn't get her name but I hope she knows she freaking killed it on the mic!

@FlashoftheBlades Месяц назад

I witnessed an entire wedding party perform “Bohemian Rhapsody” at a local bar, and could tell it was going to be a tough act to follow. Spoiler alert number 1, it was a regularly-scheduled karaoke night, the wedding party was the party crasher, so to speak. Spoiler alert 2, I was up afterwards, performing “Wasted Years” by Iron Maiden. Ever since then, I have come to believe that “Wasted Years” is a great song for such an occasion (you do have to know what the song is about to understand). 🎵🎶Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years!🎶🎵

Meh. I never had any trouble singing it. Aside from Rogers falsetto I think it really isnt that hard. And I find thats true for many other songs on this list. At least for me. I started singing when I was nine and started simply by imitating the styles of Michael Jackson, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, George Michael, Pink Floyd and Simon and Garfunkel (my mom always played good music around the house) and by the time I was 20 I could rip most of their songs with little to no problem.

@Sarappreciates Месяц назад

@@ripleyfry2107 I meant complete control. Freddie could get to a 4th octave, but I meant octaves in which he could comfortably dwell in full command. We all have a range that's comfortable and easily maneuvered within, but then there's that range we can each hit only if we work up to it, and we can't stay long because we're not at the top of our game there. Freddie hit 3 octaves with monster control. Believe me when I say that's impressive enough. We don't need to embellish since there are only 10 octaves our ears can perceive. 3 is a LOT for one human voice, especially considering how sick he was for some of that time.

As a lead singer myself, with a powerful voice, I've not found many songs that hard to emulate, however, Steelheart's lead singer, Miljenko Matijevic, singing "She's Gone," is extremely difficult to pin down. Keep in mind, I can sing like Geoff Tate, formally of Queensryche, but still have problems following the voice of Matijevic. The guy is just a power unto his own. Ah-Ha - Take on Me is no "walk in the park" either, but Matijevic, and Perry, formally the lead of Journey, are what most of us wish we sounded like. They're my heroes.

@Sarappreciates Месяц назад

I kinda like the idea and ambition of Bohemian Rhapsody more than the song itself. It's not the vocal difficulty that makes it so big. It's the bigness of it that makes it so big. Within that bigness, however, few risks of the vocal variety were taken. There's no "high note," nor is there an extreme in any direction other than big. Had it been any bigger, it woulda called for a full orchestra. Had Queen chosen such vocally technical feats, I doubt the song woulda been so "catchy" for those of us who enjoy singing along.

@steve10 Месяц назад

They never ever sang the opera bit live , it just used to go to a screen with their faces on in that iconic grouping.

Part of the reason why it is hard to get it right with Crawling because he literally pours his experience with (and emotions about) traumatic events into his voice.

@LadyVoldemort 26 дней назад

I'd vote "Walk Away" for Xtina, beautiful range from her lowest to highest and very tiring on the throat. Even "Beautiful" and "Reflection" is harder to sing than "Hurt", IMHO...but yeah, when you got emotional singing it (because you feel related) your throat could be closed down with emotions while singing "Hurt". 🥲 Also for Mariah, I vote for "My All". Many girls with high soprano voice who can do the whistle register can sing "Emotions" nowadays (for example Ariana Grande), but I bet Ariana can't touch Mariah's low notes in the end of "My All", showcasing Mariah's dominance in her super wide register (over 5 octave range). Mariah also has songs with super long notes, like "Lead the Way" and "Without You" that can make people pass out trying to hold the note. "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers also got that long note, lovely note indeed.

How does "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" not make this list, the range, depth, and ENDURANCE. Nice list, but you missed one for sure.

Whitney Houson gave me chills in that movie with that song, it is also brought home with the story line of her love for Frank and their split. Chilling!❤

Would have been nice to see some real bass voices in there. High notes are great, but a deep rumbling bass is awesome.

@koriw1701 Месяц назад

Indeed! Bass is underrated as a vocal range and very few men can achieve it. I believe that bass should be listed as one of these because, like the women who can hit High-C (soprano) bass is the lowest male register, which hits the 'Deep-C." Have you heard a new-ish song to hit RU-vid that's been posted by 'The Wellermen' called 'Hoist the Colours?' It has a sub-listing as'The bass singers of TikTok' and if you go for classic bass singing, this is the song for you! They can actually do 6-part harmony and it hits you where your soul lives. It's magnificent! I highly recommend it.

Yes. The version of him singing it solo, while also playing piano is one of the best covers ever recorded, in my humble opinion. It also has the distinction of being the last song he recorded, prior to his untimely passing. They didn't call him the King for nothing. 👍😊👍

@thelegendinhisownmind7038 just the fact that you can see how sick he really is. But he's putting everything into that performance. And the smile he gives the audience. Was a beautiful person. So sad.

I would add More Than a Feeling(Boston), Donna(10CC) and This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us(Sparks) to the list, but sometimes it's not the high notes in a song that make them difficult to sing, rather the length of a note eg Lovely Day(Bill Withers), The Air That I Breathe(The Hollies), I Can See Clearly Now(Johnny Nash)and Evergreen/Enough Is Enough(Barbra Streisand).

Though I'll Never Let You Go and She's Gone are amazing, you have to check out two others - Steelheart (from the 2nd album) and I Can't Stop Me Loving You. These two include the full vocal range of Milli and are downright incredible.
