As far as impressions go, this guy is legit.

With that aside, the way this dude was just belts out those long notes, whether it sounded like Mercury or not, was still super smooth and sustained. The guy exceeded my expectation immensely.
@@poofyoof9657 Did you know that according to science Freddie Mercury Was The Greatest Rock Singer Ever, According To Science. No one in their right mind would dispute the fact that Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury, who died on November 24, 1991, was a fantastic vocalist. For one thing, he could color his voice to fit any kind of song. And that's a fact thank you

The best Freddie I've heard. speaking as a professional singer, the only reason he doesn't sound as belty as Freddie is because his voice hasn't yet been wrecked from touring. He's singing well within his zone which makes it even more amazing. That last bit is so fluid and perfect, Freddie himself would be on his feet clapping.
I don't know why SOME are you guys saying, "he's not Freddie". Well, no sh*t, of course he's not Farrokh Bulsara (aka Freddie Mercury), he's Thomas Crane and he did a good job impersonating Freddie, of course he's not gonna sing as well as Freddie because he's obviously not Freddie but he can sing great.
I love the way they don't interrupt the singer like the other "the voices " throughout the world ,and this guy is one of the best Fred Mercury presentation ever!
@@ashutoshmadhwani2335 actually Freddie could sing way higher then rodger taylor but he just chose not to for the most part. Rodger isn't that good. I have a fairly low range and I can hit most of Rodgers notes quite easily.
@@ashutoshmadhwani2335 rodger is really not that high pitched. He was at mid range level in his lightest head voice at best. He can't even do that anymore. Rodger sounds like shit now.

thank you for the music, Dear Mr. Thomas Crane I just discovered your 2011 Australia Got Talent, 10 years later Oh! la la. It does not matter the joy is totally there as I love Freddie Mercury for always. I closed my eyes and your voice sounded like his. BRAVO. I now have to see where you are up to in your singing profession. You are amazing
Daniele Stronati Have you heard the Protomen's Album, A Night of Queen? Their lead singer, Panther, does a damn good job covering Freddie's vocals. I especially love their version of Somebody to Love and Don't Stop Me Now.
I'd agree that he probably doesn't have the power of Mercury (who does?) but in this case, for this particular song, it actually works in his favor. As a huge fan of Mercury and this song in particular, I always felt like his version was over-sung and could have done with a little LESS power and energy. This guy nails it imho. He stays true with being in the style of Mercury, but performs the song with the subtlety and sadness that it really should be.
Freddie I'd say he's at least 55% Mercury. The vocal range is almost spot on, as is the tune of his voice. The main thing missing is the fuckmazing control that Mercury had. With some major practice he'd be almost almost comparable to Mercury.
Asyra Cat No way. Freddie stood up with one of the world's greatest opera singers and still held his own. He had a lot more range and power to his voice.
For sure there will never be another Freddy, but to feel like his is alive makes feel so happy, thanks the man for doing this for not letting us forget such o crazy man like Freddy.... WE MISS YOU
How in the fuck does someone like Iggy Azalia or how ever you spell it get a career in music but not this guy!? At least you don't have to auto tune the shit out of him like every other artist these days
***** its my opinion, dont like it get thr fuck off the internet. Just because i dont like the music they make these days doesnt mean i place myself up on this self righteous pedestal.. Get over yourself I'm not treating anyone like shit.
Oh my god man. ITS MY OWN GOD DAM OPINION ! Just because you don't like or agree with my OPINION doesn't mean you need to go all in depth on my ass. Like holy fuck guy, just let it go already.. Get the fuck off the internet if you don't like peoples opinions, because I will tell you now, its FULL of them whether you agree or not.
God if you close your eyes for a few second freddy is here again... with some training and stuff this guy could really join Queen and do one last world tour wow
There will NEVER be another Freddie Mercury. But this guy has some damn good talent of his own.

The fact that he chose the great pretender as his first song is AMAZING. Very subtle. Basically he knows he cant replace freddy

Wow.. He really sounds like him ... Freddie's voice is so unique, not easy to replicate ..
Jim Hutton face but his sound it is Freddie
I thought it was just me realize it
Jim Hutton Voice too
Combination of Freddie and Jim.
He is there offspring
TRUE
Freddy Mercury is smiling from heaven
ja das wird er!!!
Yeah "from heaven"
?
yes he do!
I think I know what he would say. "Fab!"
Beautiful. I appreciate his honoring of the very much missed Freddie Mercury.
He seems so happy in the stage singing, he looks like he's having the moment he's been waiting for his whole life
The Great Pretender is a great song and it really suits his voice and a great tribute to Freddie

Omg. He is absolutely phenomenal.. I want MORE.🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
he is good at singing, but NO ONE will be ever able to sing like the KING, or better like the "QUEEN" of music: Freddie Mercury!
Yeah that's absolutely true, but to me he is the closest singer to Freddy i've ever heard.
Daniele Stronati maybe it's so!
Antonio Bosco marc martel sounds very close aswell
No one was trying to compare. Just fun to see what someone can do

from all i have seen and heard, he comes the closest. and when you look in his eyes, u can see he really does it with passion
