A thread for those who appreciate singers who can shatter glass and please our ears with their high notes.
Here's the thing about Freddie. The man had some serious pipes. He had a 4 octave range and he excelled in any octave. He wrote brilliant songs. And his stage presence was only matched by Adolf Hitler. Seriously, watch them play Radio Gaga at Live Aid and then watch a video of the Nuremburg rallies. We had better thank our lucky stars Freddie didn't go into politics or he would have taken over the world. But Queen as a whole had a brilliant dynamic. It wasn't just the Freddie Mercury backup band. They all made huge creative contributions to what made Queen what it is. Yes, Freddie wrore Somebody to Love, Killer Queen, and Bohemian Rhapsody, but Brian May wrote We Will Rock You, Save Me, and Fat Bottom Girls, John Deacon wrote I Want to Break Free, Another One Bites the Dust, and You're my Best Friend, and Roger Taylor wrote Radio Gaga and It's a Kind of Magic. Other bands like Nirvana for instance were not like that. Nirvana was basically just the Kurt Cobain backup band. Queen was this perfect storm of legendary talent, and Freddie was the face of it all, the delicious cherry on top of an already delicious sundae. He was the ambassador that allowed the amazing talent of combo that was Queen to be brought into our lives. He was the prism that focused the lazer beams from the brains of Roger, Brian, and John, and amplified them until they were powerful enough to blow our minds out through our ear holes. Yes, he was the most incredible front man who ever lived, hands down.

Hard to believe he was actually a baritone. The guy had a serious wide range.
>>66134150
I mean, as much as this is hyperbolic to the point of ridicule... you sort of really can't argue with Mercury's stage presence.

Not really, he had 4 octaves and not a note more. A lot more singers have way bigger ranges. What Mercury had was technique. From the lowest to the highest note in his actually normal range the dude excelled at it. He was one of five rock singers I can actually picture going into Opera and not getting laughed the fuck out.

Although this reads like a copypasta this is all very true. Freddie was seriously talented and the other members of Queen were no slouches either.
>>66134339
He got called for a role in opera once, but he thought his fans wouldn't like it.
