Freddie had this fails because he didn't take care of his voice. He wasn't concerned about drinking beer during the shows in cold nights or about been almost naked in cold places. It doesn't matter this voice cracks or fails, he'll always be the best forever
Not necessarily! The main problem with Freddie's voice was vocal nodules (non-cancerous growths on the vocal cords caused by overuse). This made it really hard for him to stay consistent and started affecting his voice from 1975 onwards. The fact that he started smoking in 1980 doesn't help either. Those are the primary reasons, but those listed above may be other contributing factors!
deborah Rogers don’t talk down on him... he also had a horrible bf around ‘82 and would getting into yelling arguments straining his voice. Dude ended up cheating on Freddie and Freddie ended the relationship
@@SafiRo00 bro I don't like lip syncing but MJ did it so he could dance normally, not so he wouldn't "get exposed". Remember that Jackson became a star thanks to his dancing more than his singing so atleast it's kinda understandable.
In the studio he was great. He was never a live singer even when he was young. Compare him to someone like Ian Gillan who was great in the studio but live he was another planet
He had his good days and his bad days! Look at Queen's Live Aid performance in 1985 - the greatest live performance of all time! Freddie was much of a live singer on his good days!
I watched Live aid and hated the Queen slot (I hated most of it to be honest besides Bowie) Freddie could sing 70% of his songs because the high notes were hit and miss. Frustrating if you like a song because of the tune! Change the tune and change the song especially if you are changing it because you cannot sing it. It is reported he developed nodules but refused surgery because he was worried his voice would change. *****
As a singer myself who can feel very afraid of making mistakes on stage, listening to this is very encouraging. Freddie Mercury is the ultimate rock performer and an outstanding singer, but even he screws up, and screws up frequently and hillariously. Today, perfection is emphasized over humanity and feeling. We've grown so familiar with those vocal talent shows and auto-tune that we often forget what's really important in music. I'd rather listen to Freddie Mercury, with all his fuck ups and shortcomings, than any singer who resembles a machine more than a human being.
So very true. Music is about emotion not perfection. Emotions are not always perfect. All of the singing competitions today value perfection too much. That is why most singers today appear robotic and completely soulless.
+Amy Beth Freddie had an extraordinary ability to recover well from mistakes, which is why most of these sound nowhere near as bad as some other professional singers' fails! And Immigrant Song was great on the instrumental side of things! The lyrics, on the other hand... :D
+MC_Sandman haha :) "Body Language" was on here somewhere, and I realized I've never seen Queen actually performing it live, only audio. Do you know if there are any recordings with audio and video?
+Amy Beth There used to be a video recording of Queen at Seibu Lions Stadium in Tokorozawa, Japan in 1982. It was for a TV broadcast, I believe, and some of the songs are included on the Milton Keynes 1982 official release as a bonus item. However, Body Language was not included. The full broadcast used to be on CZcams but has since been taken down. There may be some audience video recordings but you'll have to do some digging to find those.
He had vocal nodules since the mid 70’s. It is well known...you can tell it. you can see during the live shows how he takes “shortcuts” to avoid the high notes. Unfortunately, vocal surgery wasn’t so reliable at the times, so he decided to not go under it. Nowadays he would have been fine in a couple of months
Probably only a few! Most of these vocal fails are taken from concerts where Freddie was in really bad shape vocally, either from his vocal nodules or from overtouring (on the 1978-1979 Jazz Tour, their manager decided to send them on tour in the same MONTH as the recording sessions for the album), and so he couldn't sing the song, because it's a very difficult song to sing! There are plenty of amazing live versions of this song out there!
In the studio his voice is rested Hes wearing head phones,isolated and not having to compete with load music So singing these songs weren't an issue It's his song! Hes not going to compose something he cant sing! Touring after recording for months without rest is going to damage your vocals On top of that in the studio hes stood or sat In the concert hes running around performing,back and forth to the piano,no ear buds,cant hear himself and competing against the guitar which was often too loud The roadie said a few times Freddie asked brian to lower the volume because he couldn't hear himself
Freddie did not make vocal fail, simply, having a voice out of the ordinary from time to time he lost control. vocal errors are other things, not these. Freddie was perfect. 💕
The reason why Freddie was one of the greatest is the way to go along with it like it's nothing , it's a part of him which he fully owns , a flies from that like a dove !
I just have to say.. The reason why I liked this collage, is because I absolutely adore his voice cracks... Yes he is perfect in anyway, but he proves that the most perfect people mess up... People would call these "failures" But I call them perfect imperfections 😍
Everyone makes mistake, even Freddie Mercury. But most of the clips weren't mistakes, he just couldn't hit the notes, hahahahaha poor Freddie. Can't stop laughing, he's the best
This tour was characterized by being quite extensive and continuous compared to previous tours, which, coupled with the short break the band had since the recording sessions of the album "Jazz", caused a decrease in the vocal performance of singer Freddie Mercury. This reached a climax during the last concerts in Japan (concerts in Tokyo in the last weeks of April, and especially in Fukuoka, in early May). That's why our Freddie was practically speechless Freddie good ❤️
3:22 There are no voice cracks here, he just had a slight intonation issue (hit the wrong note). Which is weird since Sao Paulo 1981 is one of his greatest performances ever. In fact, he hits a C5 in the outro of the same song just a couple of minutes later.
I was just watching the Tokyo concert. The reason his voice crashed so much was cause it was so sore Also I don’t understand how people don’t like Queen in concert. I like the live versions of a lot songs then the recording version
3:31 yes it does Freddie. no shame in it. dudes a legend. have now and then sang a little but lately started actually training my voice. inspired by this mans voice.
I like how he is able to recover from these mistakes though and keeps the music going. In the end once you start you gotta keep going. He was a true musician
I love Queen and Freddie Mercury most especially but sometimes hearing him like this can get entertaining for some reason, because he is also human as us. (Excluding the parts of the we all know and love about him of course that's why I love him even if he fails at times like this.)
I wish I could sing half as well as his worst.
Me too XD

Freddie without failure is not perfect. His voice cracks, fails, and dark sides are one of the things that made him so legendary.

If you call this vocal "fails", then every vocalist in the world should be so lucky to sound this good.

I like Queen more than Zeppelins but thats true - the whole live "Immigrant Song" cover is a fail or a joke xD
It's a little bit of both! XD
