Freddie held 72,000 people... And 1.3 billion on TV, in the palm of his hand, and proceeded to give them the performance of their life. Night after night ❤️

One of the greatest voices ever!!!!! R.I.P. Dearest Freddie,how we all miss you!!

Freddie knew how to wrap the crowd around his finger... he was an absolute genius at getting the crowd hyped. Funny thing is, he was actually a really shy guy, but put a mic in his hand, he could hold the attention of millions

Freddie's crowd control was second to none.

Queen/David bowie wrote this sing together, vanilla ice used the beat without permission, and they sued him and they Won!!!

It was very lucky that Freddie Mercury was convinced to do the magic tour. in some books I read that the routine of the tour was massacring him and honestly this sentence already made it clear that he suspected he was sick with AIDS, but if his willpower didn't lead him to make the European tour we will have missed the most beautiful live performances! Unfortunately Freddie's difficulty can be seen in some concerts, in fact at the end of the magic tour he will confess to the rest of the band the desire not to continue with the concerts. Clear sign of his knowledge of being ill. one has only to open one's eyes and realize that this man has given the best performances, best sick vocal performances. this man to me is not a human being he is something above.

Freddie Mercury was electric. I mean, almost in the literal sense. His voice,his theatric capabilities, his presence, his command of the audience, his lighting-speed moves, and his songwriting. Second to none.

Freddie is legend. He is incomparable

Sooo good thank you for doing this live performance My biggest regret is never seeing the original Queen live RIP Freddie you are still missed 😢 🤟🤟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Freddie Mercury is far an above the best front man in rock...raw natural talent, best vocal ability, best vocal range, best at interacting with his audience...he is simply THE BEST!

It's not even a contest. Freddie is the GOAT frontman without doubt. Who else could perform on stage & interact with a crowd like he could? NOBODY.

It was crowd participation that Freddie always did with the audience. He loved getting the audience to participate in the concert.

Freddie is the greatest. His vocals, stage humor, performance, and his love of us fans was shown to us always.

I was a 16 year old in the crowd, amazing day!

Freddie was just ... he was amazing And when you realize its all him. No additional tweaks. Just him

Fred’s ability to control the crowd and play with them was fabulous. You don’t find that in that large number of people anymore. He touches people in a special place in our hearts. That’s why they play Queen’s music before games, concerts and events all over the world.

There’s many great singers! Freddie sang! True legend ❤

Queen is so legendary so influential so amazing we will we will rock you guys are awesome

Freddie best singer and rock frontman of the 20th century! 👍The opening is Freddie’s warm up sounds and was something he did to get the crowd involved. He was famous for his call and response with the crowd. Never say the words ice baby during this work of art between Queen and David Bowie that the vanilla kid tried to steal without giving credit. He lost the court case and had to pay millions to both artists. The bass riff that’s so catchy was created by Queen bass player John Deacon. A legend.

Vanilla ice claimed he didn't sample this song. You guys should check out the one with Bowie, it's fantastic.

He also admitted that he did sample it. "In a 1990 interview, Van Winkle claimed the two melodies were slightly different because he had added an additional note on the "and" of the fourth beat. In later interviews, Van Winkle readily admitted he sampled the song and claimed his 1990 statement was a joke; others, however, suggested he had been serious. After representatives for Queen and Bowie threatened a copyright infringement suit against him, the matter was settled out of court, with Van Winkle being required to pay financial recompense to the original artists. Bowie and all members of Queen were also given songwriting credit for the sample." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Ice_Baby

God bless Freddie, we'll never see his like again. RIP GOAT. 💔

David Bowie and Annie Lenox tribute version is great too. Freddie was fantastic stage animal, for me he is winner of this round.

I´m a Queen fan since 1979, and Rammstein fan since 2019, but i really love both.👍👍

Awesome performance as always...but I really like the original best that he did with David Bowie! Two amazing artists together and we miss you both ❤

I love Til and Rammstein in general but Freddy is going to win this whole thing

I will always respect Freddie. To me he defines what a frontman should be. If anybody has any doubts, let's just count the ways he entertained us. 1. He could sing just about any style of music. 2. He was a great piano player and decent guitar player. 3. Audience interaction. 4. Stage presence & stage moves 5. With all due respect to most bands, he didn't need special effects or a special stage setup. 6. The love that he showed his fans and the amount of love they showed him in return. If anybody has any of those qualities, they are good. Freddie had all of those. There have been very few singers or entertainers who check all those boxes, and it pains me to say it, but nobody will ever come close. That would be like trying to find the next Elvis, Michael Jackson or Prince. You'll have plenty of people inspired by those artists, but those artists are immortal.

THE BEST BAND THE BEST VOCALIST OF THE WORLD WE MISS YOU

Freddie is the ultimate frontman ..... No one can compare.

This performance, mostly the intro with that crowd control, is proof who the ultimate winner of this tournament should be

I'd have to consider myself a major fan of Rammstein, but Freddie Mercury is in a whole other hemisphere when it comes to most other lead vocalists.

The following night live at Knebworth, unofficially over 200000 people, I was lucky enough to be there , little did we realise that sadly it would be their last ever live performance 😢 ..

Makes me tear up watching this. Oh man, Freddie was the best.

Legend.... please play the opening song of Wembley One Vision brilliant concert wonderful reaction.

Great track. Hadn't heard that one in awhile.

Queen live is always amasing, but the studio version with David Bowie is awesome.

U guy absolutely would love the live aid set of theirs. It is spectacular and he could hardly talk and went on to give the ppl all they could handle and more. Simply amazing. RIP MR FREDDY MERCURY an absolute genius

Watching this as a little kid was magic! Never had ever heard of anything this cool! I lived in Lake Tahoe and being in the middle of the mountains to get TV Period it was sent by satelite to the main reciever for the whole basin. We got this, we got MTV's first broadcast! It was amazing!

You should watch the foo fighters do this song . Taylor Haekins sings. And Rodgers Taylor's son plays the drums

REQUEST: You guys NEED to react to Queen’s legendary 20-minute set at LIVE AID ! IMPORTANT NOTE, THO: There are some INCOMPLETE copies of the Queen Live Aid video circulating on YT right now (somebody uploaded them). The BEST QUALITY - REMASTERED - COMPLETE video of Queen’s Live Aid set is on: Remastered Memories channel.

Good hidden gem from the debut.Liar is another good one, as was Mad the Swine.

Freddie did not care for the song until Bowie convinced him with the finger clicking in the song, then Freddie said O.K. I saw Queen every time they came to Cleveland, Ohio and was blown away at every show.

Freddy and Til? No contest! Freddy is the Man!!

History just there guys the greatest ever words haven't been invented for this genius absolutely stunning

No question . FREDDIE R.i.P FREDDIE WE MISS YOU WE HERE YOU SINGING FROM HEAVEN

the vocal warm up at the start was Freddies way of communicating with audiences from non-english speaking counties.

Freddy didn’t have time to warm up his voice so he did it on stage and the crowd joined in which made for one of the best performances ever.

OTHER REQUEST: “LIAR” (The 8+ minute long version for the full guitar solo) Live at THE RAINBOW, 1974

He went beast mode on that crowd

I'm picking Freddie to win this whole thing! No offense to the other artists but Freddie just had an amazing voice.

Queen and especially Freddie Mercury and all, but the recording with David Bowie is just *chef's kiss*

I miss Freddie Mercury as a singer and frontman

Don’t forget to give Roger Taylor (drums) the kudos he deserves for the backing vocals on this song (and many others)!! Queen we’re a very well oiled machine.. unmatched!!

You should definitely hear the version recorded with David Bowie, it's so good too

Wow 🥰 beautiful sweet Freddie 😍 RIP to a legend ❤️ liked subscribed 😁

I'm a NorCal metal guy and old school gangster rap guy .........but also great music is undeniable. This performance put tears in my eyes. Incredible.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting this to be the Freddie and David Bowie version. Lol. ♥

Greatness 😊 thanks for your reaction 😊

Our good fortune that Farrokh Bulsara wanted enough to be Freddie Mercury...otherwise, think what we would have missed. One heck of a merger. The Winner. The End.

For my money nobody does it better than freddie mercury. And anyone who hasn't seen the movie about freddie Mercury, the queen movie, you need to watch it. It's definitely worth the watch. I've seen it a bunch of times because it's that good. I keep finding people who haven't seen it and rewatching it with them.

To witness someone so legendary so inclusive with an audience of that size. Freddie literally brought that entire audience on stage with him. How beautiful is that

I had the Extreme Pleasure of seeing this Song performed by Mr. DAVID BOWIE and His Bassist, Gail Ann Dorsey covers the High parts that Freddy hits at the end. The wailing part. That was 2004 during The Reality Tour. It literally sent chills Up My Spine. I relate to what I consider the songs meaning, more and more, the Older I get. The Song is actually a Sad One, in my opinion.

A yellowjacket is on my radar. Have I been stung?

The crowd loved to sing along with Freddie he never used auto tune.

John Deacon created some of the best basslines ever. Enjoyed your reaction, guys.

Just give it to Freddie and stop fkn around. Rob VanWinkle puts his thumbs up on this one as well since he sampled this song in the 90's.

Freddie and Chris Cornell have the best body of work of any singers/ front men. They are untouchable!!! I have them up top like Jimi and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Nobody can touch them...

A great Rock band, with a capitol R. Freddy was a real podium animal. 🎶🎶🎶👍👍❤️

Freddie,no contest whatsoever.

Saw Queen live 5 times. No doubt the best live band I saw, ever. That’s comparing them to Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELO, Santana, Emerson Lake and Palmer, CSNY, The Band, and many others.

watch the official video for this song and the concert they put together of David Bowie and Freddie singing together!

Have you guys watched Queen at the Live Aid show? July 13, 1985, 29 minute set. It's a MUST see. I guarantee everyone will agree.

You need to react to Queen - Who wants to live forever LIve

SOOOO glad y'all got to see that F-U snippet!! 😂🖤😅That's one I'd hoped would eventually be on the tribes radar. I grew up listening to their ACTUAL albums! His charisma just radiates.

You should include BoRap @ Montreal 81. Amazing.

Check out the tribute concert version with Annie Lennox performing with Queen and David Bowie.

Saw Queen live more than once and Freddie was always the master of stage presence and an amazing vocalist. I've every album they ever put out. I live less then 3miles down the road for Queen's Guitarist brilliant musician have met him a few time's due to his Wildlife Charity. He's hightly intelligent, down to earth, lovely human being.

Freddie Mercury hands down. Don't even know who the other person is. There is only one Queen Freddie, top vocalists.

John Farnham has one of the best voices in rock born in uk but moved to australia. Nicknamed the voice

I've never even heard of Til.... Queen was my first concert ever. Freddie is THE GOAT!!!

I lived around Avery island LA and know all bout that sauce hell the factory is above one of the largest salt deposits in the world so easy place to make it

Great song! He really had quite the stage presence and beautiful voice!! RIP Freddie😢. I like this song but I really like it with David Bowie Rip David 😢. (Two great legends that we have unfortunately lost!) Great choice guys!🤓❤️🎸

Fat Bottom Girls, I think yous would really enjoy that song.

Love your reactions 💕

This whole contest should have come down to Freddie Mercury vs Mick Jagger. But Hollywood put Mick against his love in the first round.

There never has been and never will be anyone like Freddie.

100% Freddie.🔥❤

Can tell that Till is more theatral and illustrated style of show. Also, Feddy more interractive as showman.

Freddie vs Layne would tough, but Freddie got it

Deathstars - This is

Freddie is the greatest vocalist ever and the greatest entertainer ever! Hands down!

More Queen songs, guys!

70's to the 90's for Freddie

Epic intro!!! Freddie is one in a million. His eoooooo is his trademark just like this yellow jacket. Thank you 😊

Its collaboration between Freddie Mercury and David Bowie.

If it ever comes down to layne stayley vs freddie mercury, you have to give it to mercury. Even though layne is an incredible singer and in my top 5, you cant deny the sheer energy of freddie, his stage presenxe his interactions with the crowd etc. He is a better performer overall without a doubt. Easilly top 3 performers of ALL TIME!!

You MUST find out about the e whole backstory to Queen being here. This was a “comeback” situation for them, as music was changing

Well, here's the thing, other than the break between Hot Space and the Works, Queen never split or broke up. If there was proof of that their set at Live Aid, the year before showed they didn't miss a step. When it was revealed to the fellow band members that Freddie was sick, they kept it under wraps and started taking more breaks between albums up until the end. He wanted to sing as much as he could and release as much music as he could in the last few years of his life.

Freddie happens to be known as The greatest in history . I didn’t know till now that you were doing a Competition . There is no competing to Freddie Mercury.

Should watch the movie!!

Freddie! Hands down
