On that I agree. Pmj takes their covers very seriously and they dial it up to 20. This one, their cover of metallica's nothing else matters and no doubts don't speak are covers just as good as the originals.

It takes guts to tackle a Queen song. Especially an epic one like this. Fortunately, you guys got the talent to pull it off. Bravo!

One of the best Queen songs ever (thank you, Dr. May) that only a few people who aren't Freddie Mercury could ever do justice. Perfect arrangement, perfect instrumentation and perfect singer. Morgan James is amazing, and she crushed this! THIS is PMJ at its very best.

Freddie didn't die, he simply became music and PMJ is here to honor his name. ❤❤❤

This is a beautiful rendition of a massive song. I think what people are interpreting as shakiness in Morgan's wonderful performance... may in fact be emotion... or attempting to emote. It is a massive song regardless vocally... and I think might have been half a step too high in pitch. Morgan can soar... this was so beautiful... I love the arrangement. More more more!

Just perfect! Really musical like. Loved it, loved it, loved it! Interpretation on point. It’s a real hommage to the original song.

WOW. Just wow. All of you did an amazing job of Queen. It made me emotional.

When I listen to this, it gives me goosebumps. It truly captures the spirit of the original song, while at the same time giving it a unique angle. It even keeps the same wistful ending of the original song - something that's actually cut from the official Queen video version. The haunting question "Who lives forever anyway?". I never understand why they did that. Morgan James' vocal range is awesome in this song.

Goosebumps, lots. All over! I'm sorry, wow!!

This was beautifully orchestrated and I loved everything about it.
