    In celebration of all the things Queen - the Bohemian Rhapsody biopic premiering, my covers album “Thunderbolt & Lightning”, and just a darn good tune existing, I give you my one-take performance of, yep, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” (Friends, I worked really hard at learning the middle part.)

      He sang Freddie’s every line of the live action. Then, his voice was mixed in with Freddie’s stems, whatever they could recover from the old analogue tapes to make it sound like Freddie is singing. In reality, the cake itself came from Marc’s new recordings, and the frosting on the cake were Freddie’s stems.

      What's funny is that Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones actually wanted Freddie to be a part of the original track.

      Not trying to detract what he's doing, because it's extremely impressive, but it seems, at least to me, that he learned piano at a later age (not at like 3 or 4 like me or any other good Asian kid), and that he's self-taught. That's just my observation but that makes it more impressive, especially the bridge. The verses are relatively easy on the piano, but I just didn't even bother learning the bridge.
