And to think there was no Auto-tune back then it was pure and simply singing.

Thank you for calling out the background singers and harmonies. They are all just AMAZING. I remember when they came onto the scene and there was nothing like them.

Live... awesome... saw them in 1975 and 1977... Freddie’s voice is incredible and as good live, if not better, no ear plugs or auto tuning back in the day and all of them incredible musicians... “takes your breath away”. You should react to that live Hyde Park 1976, ❤️Freddie❤️

I did have the honor of seeing Queen at the Los Angeles Forum in 1977 with Thin Lizzie opening. That concert remains one of my favorite concerts ever! I am a very big fan of Freddy’s amazing vocals and to this day I still miss him so much. Even my 2 adult sons and 14 year old grandson are big fan of Queen. BTW, I still have the original Queen t-shirt I bought at the concert! Long live Freddy Mercury and Queen! ❤️

"Those backgrounds"- Yes, Freddie was amazing but we also need to give props to drummer Roger Taylor who was an awesome singer in his own right and did a lot of the high notes in those harmonies.

All of Freddies live singing in the seventies is just absolute mind blowing.

Me reading the title: Oh good I can cry while I watch this Seriously Tara thanks for the reaction. Queen is really just full of complete legends, and Freddie is almost unmatched. This song makes me cry everytime.

The live version at Montreal is even better it would be worth checking out that performance but this is one of my favorite songs of all time Freddie possesed a voice that will never be replicated

Yes saw them live in 1982, the version of Somebody to Love they did that night is available on RU-vid, Milton Keynes Bowl, it was just sublime, he did a different intro every time he sang it live and I just got lucky that time.

This reaction was so fantastic! Please react to this same song - Somebody to Love, live from Montreal 1981 if you haven't already seen it. It's AMAZING.

Four times between mid 70 to early 80s. One of my favorite bands, along with YES and CSNY. Beautiful harmonies. No one stepping on another. Miss them dearly.

The arrangement for this version of Somebody To Love is one I hadn't heard before now it's absolutely epic!

Freddie and Queen were the best rock band ever. Check out Marc Martel who is the lead singer of Queen Extravaganza. It's Freddie reincarnated. Incredible!

Queen has always been my favorite band. They all are fantastic. I love all their songs even the ones that didn’t make it on the hit list ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Live in Montreal is the BEST version of this song. You have to hear that one as well :)

I haven’t missed a QUEEN UK tour in 41 years...simply the greatest band I’ve ever seen live and Freddie was just unique a one off.. legends

All Queen, All the time!! The greatest of all time! Their live performances are even better!!

This video made me subscribe! I love watching vocal coaches but they all do new contemporary music and nobody knows the true music legends like Queen! You staning them for 10 minutes straight is everything! Keep up the good work and I hope to see more classic music in your videos!

I saw queen back in the early 1980s the show they put was outstanding, Freddie had so much interaction with the crowd, it made you feel part of it, I have many artist live since, and no one real compares to that concert, I broke my heart when Freddie died, they were and are my all time favourite band, it was devastating, you could the world cry out, I am so glad my best friend went to see them live, great memories.........

It would be a long video, but please react to the entire Queen performance at Live Aid!!!

I was lucky enough to see Queen live twice, but unfortunately they didn't perform Somebody to Love. with that said they were still absolutely, epically fantastic! And Freddie has an indescribable stage Aura that makes literally every gesture and transition he makes, an art in itself, even before he stars to sing!

Great reaction to one of my favourite songs - ever. No matter what I’m listening to at any time , I always come back to this song. As you said it’s every part of the whole which is amazing. The music, the harmonies, the writing , Freddies lead vocals. (I’m a huge Roger fan and as a bonus he looks sooo cute in this clip.). I digress - I’ve always thought the harmonies could be a song on its own and then I hear you say that. Thanks for a wonderful reaction to an incredibly special song. Nobody can do this like Queen.

Song of the century. Wow. I’ve loved this song since it came out. So beautiful.

I always find it incredible and have to remind myself that Freddie is actually a baritone!!! Talk about range!!!

Was fortunate to see them live in 81! Simply Fantastic!!!!

Okay, but please remember the four of them created Queen, music, lyrics and everything. It wasn't only Freddie, they all are great, great musicians and deserve full appreciation ♥

Perfect Tara. Thank you.

(5:36) "This is arrangement at it's finest, folks." For some reason, Glenn Miller and Beethoven always pop into my head when I listen to Queen and stop what I'm doing and "tune in" to the mastery that is happening. Thank you for your professional breakdown and explanations. Now... back to listening and getting chills and crying!

The album version is good, BUT any of their live versions are amazing. The one from "Queen Rocks Montreal 1981", part of the North American swing for the Game album, is my second favorite, my first was Queen at Madison Square Garden on the opening leg of the US portion of the Game tour in September 1980, no video from that one sadly, but I was sitting in the stands back then. As for seeing them live, twice in fact, was an experience that truly cannot be explained to someone who hasn't had the pleasure. It is one that I have been treasuring for 40 years now.

thank you for saying that Queen is awesome

Finally someone who knows to notice the musical complexity of this type of work. Instant sub. Queen does this with both voices and guitar. Especially on Queen 2 and and on a night at the opera/a day at the races.

Saw them at Knebworth in 86. Their last concert with Freddie and they were awesome👌👌

You take my breath away at Hyde Park, and Somebody to love 1981 Montreal

im almost 41, i discovered Queen due to the Highlander movies and tv show. Then i went back and dug out my parent records and they had doubles of all of the Queen records. this song still brings a tear to my eye. and how many groups have an astrophysicist as a lead guitar?

One of the few singers that gives me goosebumps, without fail, no matter the song.

The joy these guys bring...

I like that she just enjoyed the song at one point and stopped analyzing it all together.

Hard to believe Freddie's been gone 30 years now, I was a teen from late 70s to mid 80s and Queen's music were a massive part of my growing up.

Pleeeeaasee Tara, more Cimorelli eg. High School Musical Medley, or Demi‘s Grammy Performance „Anyone“😍😍

I saw them live TWICE! Right in front of me here in Brazil, first in São Paulo 1981 and second at Rock in Rio 1985!!!!!

Freddie was a beast But the other guys deserve just the same praise. All of them are amazing.

I feel now...that back in the 70s we all took everything for granted. As time drifted on...decades later we listen to reactors, like yourself, to bring it all into focus. I have spent the last 18 months learning from you and seeing our beloved music from many moons ago being appreciated and, indeed, kept alive!

Saw Queen twice in the 80's....nothing compares prior, and only once did I go to a concert where I thought Queen were given a ride for their money, and that was Pink Floyd PULSE concert 1994 at Earls Court....and I couldn't say one was better than the other! Both were stunning, and I was privileged to see probably the two best bands to have graced the 20th Century, and would probably include the Beatles, in my humblest opinion!!

I'd love it if you could react to You take my breath away live, such a haunting performance!

This is a god given blessing Amen to freddie

Roger Taylor, the DRUMMER, singing the high notes in the harmony vocals.

First vocal, coach, reaction whom I enjoyed listening to.

queen live at wembley stadium is something i can just watch over and over again, it's amazing

Their performance at Live Aid was iconic! Not a wasted note .. it was all buildup for the crowd. Freddie's control of the audience was magical. Spellbinding!

Please react to Queen - The Show Must Go On !!! 😍 Love your Queen reactions ❤️

Freddie was a legend the GOAT! The harmonies from the band, Brian May’s guitar solos, just epic 😩😩🔥🔥

Queen is perfect

4:04 Gerry Rafferty. Jeff Lynne. Queen. British performers from the 70's that put some serious work into every aspect. There was no 90% vocals and 10% of everything else. It was all given the same amount of attention.

I saw them in 1980 at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis. As awesome as they are today I have to say back then they were Queen the rock group. Yes, I loved their music and I still do today. The funny part is I had to wait until I was so much older to look back and appreciate what I saw. I have seen Led Zeppelin with John Bonham, Van Halen, Yes and the list goes on. Most of the '70s and the '80s were spent going to concerts. I spend so much time on RU-vid looking at reaction videos to see if the person reacting saw what I saw for the first time. There were many bands that you could go see live that actually sounded good. Queen I would say are one of those bands that watching them live was better than the recording. The added their own flair to the song that you didn't get from the recording. I am so glad you appreciated Queen's writing and production they brought to the stage.

I love this song and I love your expertise and appreciation. Great reaction.

Yes, without a doubt Freddy was and is to this day the best vocalist of All time !!! and anyone who says different are just as wrong as can be.... He's probable singing to our Lord with the angels......

Ahh freddy we all miss him, an amazing voice!!!!! Great reaction!!!! and Tara 2.7 Mill. Klicks on dimash congrats wow

There was no one better than Queen. Even Steve Howe of Yes, who played on the song Innuendo said he hadn't seen anything like Queen and how they did things. Innuendo might be a good reaction video due to its timing.

The live version of this song in Montreal 81' is even better!! Check it out, you won't regret it, they took this song to another level! One of the best Freddie's live vocals ever and the band play tight as always! (and Roger Taylor vocals are amazing too in that version) ;)

One word live....Chills

I love your reaction!

The arrangement of this song is next level. Queen were a phenomenon.

Would love to hear you react to Barcelona!!!

You are so correct no one do it better than the late great Freddie Mercury. Never was lucky enough to see Queen live. But I did see Brian May live once and that was experience in itself. You should also react to Bohemian Rhapsody, the harmonies and the operatic section ...

Welcome to Queen's Fan Club! Is wonderful watch a young generation meeting the other generation masters, I was 19 when I went to a Queen Show here in Brazil in 1981, there were two hours of pure magic!! The emotions I experienced then are in my until today!!! Freddie and Brian learned few words in Portuguese to better communicate with us and they were already the greatest band ever! Take a look in how Freddie, Brian Roger and John made 50 thousand NON ENGLISH SPEAKERS sing along with Freddie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-czFFXSin3-w.html RIP Beloved Freddie Tons of love to Brian, Roger and John.

To be in Wembly stadium, the day Freddie did his vocal warm-ups with an adoring crowd of 60,000 close friends... then he sang Under Pressure... good lord, to be there on that day... I wish...

Once in a lifetime voice

hey tara, you should react to “like i’m gonna lose you” fifty harmony, love your channel

you must also react Somebody to Love live Montreal 1981. what a performance!!!

Most beautiful "voice coach" reviewing one of the best band of all time :-) I love it

Hello I´m also a huge fan of Queen and i`ve watch so many reactions from allot of diferent people but none of them come close to yours you can tell that you are someone who knows wath you´re talking about thank you, I enjoyed as mutch listening to Queen as your on comments about that performance keep doing wath you do just because you´re good at it and pardon me for some wrighting mistakes but this is my second language I´m Portuguese Thank You again !

The greatest of all time!

Eargasim...I love it. Thats the lerfect way to describe it. That would be a great way to describe a lot of the Beach Boys music.

Honestly the more I listen to Queen's songs (as I do everyday), the more I paid attention or immerse myself into it the more I found hidden nuances from the music and lyric. I think I just didn't realize I'm a die hard fan since I was five.

Goose bumps. You're awesome

You should check out The Family Crest Beneath the brine! Soooooo awesome

If you want tears (from vocal excellence) at a live performance you should hope CSN get together live again. Opening with Carry On in London a few years ago was once in a lifetime.

I enjoy watching you comment on other performers. I hope you do some more videos on classic performers like Bing, Elvis, Patsy Cline, etc.

ur singing is amazing i wish i had ur singing

React to Save Me live at Hammersmith 1979

One other legend who is still alive is Brian Wilson (of The Beach Boys). You don’t hear to many people talk about him but he’s one of the best musicians of all time. You should do a review on the song Surfs Up by them. Brian is the one singing on that tune.

Love the song Freddie the song of love

love queen!!! More dimash tara!

Incomparable Genius with a Voice of silk and steel. There will never be another. I'm with you, Tara. I never saw him live either and it's a huge disappointment. Thanks for this!

Please react to Demi Lovato "Anyone" at the Grammys

Please react to Somebody To Love live from Montreal in 1981. It is Queen at their very best live.

So right, Queen is the greatest of the great. These guys are also very intelligent. Brian May made his guitar, didn't just design it, made it from scratch. I also love the arrangement in this song. The background vocals aren't just the typical following up the lead singer's lyrics, but if you notice, sometimes they sync and sometimes even precede Mercury's vocals.

-КРАСОТКА!!!!!!👏👏👏

Freddie Mercury, one of the greatest live performers ever

Love the channel and your energy and insights! More rock singers! Especially those that aren't the typically gifted vocalists but do more with expressiveness, charisma, and, most of all, uniqueness. A lot of pop singers today are technically great, but there's a certain sameness to them. Just my (boomer) opinion. Keep up the great work!

FYI the high harmony is the drummer ROGER TAYLOR

I would love to see you react to Chris Cornell's, "When I'm down". The Freddie Mercury influence is all over that song.

Taken too soon, he had so much more to give!

I've seen Jagger , Springsteen and Dylan live.All brilliant but seeing Freddy live was the best.

React to Demi’s ANYONE performing

Please remember with the backgrounds this is pre digital, so if they wanted 3 people to sound like 100, they would have to sing the same line 33 times

I had a chance to see them back in 80s but came down very sick in my senior year in High School. I gave my ticket to a good friend of mine. Who duly informed me They ruined every concert after that for them. When I asked what they meant Cathy said. She felt she had been punched in the face leftvblind and deaf and begging for more!!!

Dr. Brian May is awesome! There will be no Freddie in our lifetime. Brian got his doctorate in Astrophysics.

Tara, you should react to Silvia Pérez Cruz, an amazing young singer. It worths every single second, specially performing “María la Portuguesa”.
