FREDDIE MERCURY " THE GREAT PRETENDER" HQ - QUEEN

[HernandoMR]

PM, cada vez estás más grandioso, Freddie!

[Solskinn9]

Did he regrow his mustache or wear a fake one

[ricardo36615]

son unos genios de la musica , un antes y despues,

[69055591]

i've played the game but to my real shame, you've left me to grieve all alone...

[Robinqq11]

2:48 pause when u see the 3 "woman" look closely. Freddie u sly little cow. ;D

[AveriVee]

I love him.

[RasputinWatchSite]

10 people mixed up the thumb down button with the download button.

[gomonkeyfly]

i dont think freddie would like it if he knew that his fan would use his name to insult another person (beiber or not)

insulting beiber used to be a joke but it got soo overrated that it have gone overboard

im not a bb fan but this is too irrationally intolerant.

and i dont think freddie wanted to live forever

but what he didnt kno is that he lives forever in our heart.

[eksemgutten]

or perhaps we are all fools because freddie is god?

[Zalfion]

What does "I'm wearing my heart like a crown" means?

[Zalfion]

If i'm not wrong, the female backup singers is Queen's band members

[freddyforever75]

@Zalfion the pink hair one is freddie himself, i think the blond one is roger, the other one was a friend of freddie's i forget his name at the moment

[katylouise97]

my insperation!! love and miss you loads freddie! xxxx

[Fingolfincl]

missing you Freddie.....world it's a quite dark without your talent

[erving25]

damn this man had incredible projection!

[SiniaDiva]

is there 10 dislikes ? coz i do not see red strap

[Pamela19378]

kocham tą piosenke

[simplyjenny00]

Where does his chest hair go when he's in drag?? :)

[fouremoi]

9 disslike ? way too much.

[9falcm]

Goodbye Freddie from Tokyo ♪～

[Mr560nikya02]

Veel te zacht opgenomen zonde

[TheHev76]

Freddie's voice is wonderful. This song appears to use the full range of voice. Yeah, the 3 men in drag are Freddie himself, Roger Taylor and Peter Straker.

[yisslizarraga]

love u FREDDIE MERCURY x ever..........

[sammmiii13]

man he looks amazing in drag hahaha

[BeatlesNQueenFan]

is that Roger? (woman with blonde hair)

[Debbie321lopez]

@BeatlesNQueenFan yup!

handsome isn't (s)he?

[polserranolebron]

@BeatlesNQueenFan Yes!

[AnnaDeppRogTay]

If he wasn't a singer it would be nice to be a comedy actor ! He dress up so nice like Johnny Depp ! LOL.

[TheSapphireDragon1]

Who can hate this song

it's impossible

[PeterSteves]

I love Queen. Im 14 years old. When i was 8 my fathers were listening to Queen Greatest Hits with my in the car but i didnt give much attention. Then i heard We are the champions and i was like? Who is this band? Then its history, i started learning guitar, and the i went through Doors, Beatles and now i have a music taste so diferent that comes from Django Reinhardt to The Clash. Thank you for all Queen and you Freddie :D

[PeterSteves]

@PeterSteves soz lol for my bad english. With me in the car

[cilibriel]

@PeterSteves FATHERS??!

[razzle18]

im 45 now but was maybe 13 when I first heard this great man sing,,I couldn't care if he was from outer space,,,,,,,,,,,,no doubt one of the best solo performers ever,,,and this song"the great pretender"just says it all,,just wish my son could have watched him live,,,, sadly missed everytime I hear his wonderful voice,,razzle18

[bjpass51]

I don't care what he did in his personal life, the gift of himself that he gave the world is still unbeatable. No one can sing like that. God he was awesome.

[gary2364]

Have any of you ever heard The Platters sing this? I have a hundred times. They are wonderful. However, once I heard Freddie sing The Great Pretender, I was an immediate convert.

What a voice! And what an entertainer!

[ledaril]

this guy could sing any song well. especially with the great band/vocalists (et al) who brought out the best of his voice. ever single one of them are stars.

[piratehilton]

How very prophetic I guess. In the end, he still tried to hide who he was...but everyone new. A beautiful voice lost due to ignorance and fear.

[player1941]

@piratehilton He still makes me cry on every song because he is no longer here. Why couldn't he have missed this hideous killer? His voice runs through me, i see him as a child singing in front of his mirror knowing he would be the star.

[Yo1969Yo]

@player1941 Someone asked Freddie about singing in front of a mirror as he was growing up. Freddie said no, he never did that. Even his mother said that Freddie had a quiet nature who read a lot of books, listened to music and wrote a lot.

Really amazing how everything came naturally to him.

[Yo1969Yo]

@piratehilton What do you mean by saying "he still tried to hide who he was"? Freddie explained why he did this song. Every outfit he wore on stage and dressing in drag was all pretending. Offstage he dressed very conservative. The real Freddie was a quiet, shy & private man. He didn't "hide" anything, he just wasn't a media whore.

Roger Taylor, Brian May, etc. all have said that Freddie was very different off stage. 

[xItsAlicex]

Still, Roger looks like a great girl.

[Stadiumrock]

FREDDIE THE PRIMADONNA

[BonJoviDragonBall]

I pretend i'm like Freddie when i sing but i know i sing like a robot...

[OhLittleRamona]

Dear Freddie, I pretend like you're still around

[player1941]

@OhLittleRamona perfect statement Ramona, he is still there working on the next album.

[freakgamer12345]

my girl-friend said this is the gayest vid ever. i started typing just... Fuck you she said i said okay

[dimryman]

Legend!!!

[janismcgee1]

I LOVE FREDDIE!!!! Bless his lovely heart ... his spirit still lives!! 

[Upiets]

And "Livin On My Own"'s telling the same. And that's not your culture, gay stuff or anything ))

[Upiets]

He wasn't a homo, though. This song is about that, guys ))

[jbe1967]

@Upiets Freddie was gay....but who cares with the music he produced.....a voice like no other ever....

[freakgamer12345]

@Upiets no he was bisexuel he liked men and woman 

[inkblot100]

For those who don't know the platters made this hit here the original version this video just confirmed he was a homo great musician though

[david0521]

no doubt one of the gratest voices of all time on any genre

he left us 25 years ago around this time of year , his music lives on

[JasonQ87]

@david0521 20 years ago. :(

[untalalvaro]

Really are there 6 people who do not like this video? It's impossible, it's one of the best videos ever made!

[TheLauraloveFreddie]

he was the only one i love you!!!

so crazy and funnny, i really love you great star :)

you're incrdible my dear!!! :)

[gpistul]

I miss you Freddie!!! 20 años sin vos y parece que hubiera sido ayer que pasaste por Rosario!! You were a great pretender!!! I love you!!

[mlody2006]

2:02 Freedieeeeeeee!!!!!

[TheRegina78]

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lucretia101]

RIP...twenty years ago today.

[doalwa]

Greatest frontman of all time...incredible voice, showmanship and stage presence...he will never be matched and always be missed

[MaxxGladiator]

Fabulous. Great song and video. Love the guy.

[zsuzsa23]

Dear God, please return Freddie and except Justin Bieber as a sacrifice.

[beatleman98]

@zsuzsa23 Justin Bieber? Doesn't ring a bell

[Pipelina111]

@zsuzsa23  you can't trade in shit for gold

[eur0trash92]

@zsuzsa23 Take Miley Cyrus and One Direction too please

[patikomposisi]

@zsuzsa23 why do u think that God wants justin....especially for Freddie?

God is no fool :D

[zsuzsa23]

@patikomposisi he is the sacrifice. Its wrong that someone like Freddie had to go, and here we have these mutants and missionary's of bad music which never gonna be remembered years from now!

world could be a better place if Freddie could be around; not Bibier.

[k0rvapuusti]

@zsuzsa23 accept

[0428733]

@zsuzsa23 God ain't no fool, he has Freddie for himself.

[pincarazvan]

@zsuzsa23 accept

[fouremoi]

@zsuzsa23 god isnt that stupid dude.

[lawarn68]

Amazing voice. So talented!

[dbmagick]

Will Always love you my Beautiful, Beautiful boy!!! No one can match His voice, and quality.

[HallvarBTW]

Was this from a solo album or something?

[JasonQ87]

@HallvarBTW Yes, he wanted to try opera so the band took a break.

[JAKid50]

Great video. Classic.

[faithfulcmm1972]

Oh my god what a voice!

[cs100443]

 son interprètation vaut celle des the platters

cs100443

[radirkaMC]

Oh, how perfect you are. Forever I love you..

[MaxxGladiator]

Needed a 'distraction' for a while, and this was perfect!

[anneboleyn1994]

omg thanks god for bringing this amazing freddie mercury to the life

[mamade3hijos]

SENSUAL!!!!! SENSUAL!!!! i loved you are the magic men of music.

[zoldszemu998]

O, yes. And why is it any worse than being the great manipulator?

[ingprincess]

JEJE, IN THIS VIDEO HI LOOKS SO PRETTY!!!

[JuliaZeppelin]

Guy :"...Okay then, what is the definition of an awesome frontman?"

Girlfriend: "Go to YouTube and watch Freddy Mercury sing -- any song really, it doesn't matter."

Guy: Currently watching the definition of awesome frontman...

[godivagirl44]

Best version of this song... Nobody does it better than Freddie..

[antylukas]

it's so hard to live without him 

[Minekezable]

Pretending that you're still around. This song makes me cry and laugh at the same time, for Freddie and for so many others.

[79agp]

I bet if you gave this man the manual to your refrigerator and asked him to sing it, hed blow the roof off your house. His talent almost seems supernatural. The hell with justin beiber, taylor swift, and lady gaga. All of that is just noise and not music. Freddie knew how to make music, not senseless meaningless racket. Sad this generation dont even know what music is.

[HuskyMaxx]

How can anyone not love this guy?

The older (and mature) I get,the more I appreciate his talent.

In my mind, he is the most talented artist EVER. He could do anything.

While 100% hetero myself,I could not care less about his lifestyle, and to be honest, I doubt a straight performer could have taken their artistic limits to what he did. It is so sad what happened to him.

He truly loved his fans.

And, to be teamed with such talent as he was with Queen made this the 'Perfect Storm'...

[MsSweetunes]

There's no pretense in saying that this was one fantastic human being! Freddie gave everything to his music fans! He sang for us right until the end! He was truly the Lover of Life, Singer of Songs! So intense, he packed it all in those 45 amazing years! We Still Love You Darling!

[Takeda327]

Love Queen. Love Freddie. We miss you. From Russia.

[laertefilho]

The greatest leader vocal of world music history!!!

[Maydasol]

Genial estoy desvelada y desde mi iPod veo los vídeos que marcaron mi juventud no deja de emocionarme! Que tiempos buenos

[1msbeanpie]

He still looks good in this vid!

[LooZue]

The Great Pretender should be the GREATEST ENTERTAINER !

[karl0854]

Happy birthday, Genius. See you later.

[Aethereal09]

Happy Bday to Freddie i am sure you're Rockin' on and havin' a Blast wherever you are, here's to you for all you gave to this world.

[Tynkas]

happy birthday the greatest of all !

[dtkmeister]

i 'm also pretending that you're still around.

[martyvuolepogare]

Happy B-day, Mr! :)

[godisgubben12]

Freddy was the best there was and it going to be long time before there is going to be somebody better than him.I only hope I will be still alive when somebody with his gifts again walks the earth.

[RiceIsAwesomelyCool]

Can't hate this guy. It's impossible. He's a kind of magic, one vision for good music. We miss you Freddie! -\3

[ygina55]

he was just so... fabulous. love this video.

[o1carlos1o]

definitivamente supero al creador de esta cancion, no solo mejoro la cancion sino que la perfecciono

[dbmagick]

Freddy was a Genius. Homophobes need disappear or die in our culture.

[BananaSandwich1]

@dbmagick agreed times a million

[Kaiyon]

out of context, the video is about freddie and how he misses his moustache

[lacondesa70]

oh, si, soy el gran impostor... que bella cancion

[f4ust85]

i guess this is the end of the empire AND the western civilization right there, when you see a short indian raging fag with big teeth wearing a kings crown along travesti dancers that rub their arses on each other :-) i like the music, but i find the gay agenda that mercury pushed upon us "kinda" too strong (not surprisingly most brainwashed neoliberals will find ME abnormal instead for just finding this bizzare), although i understand it was the main topic in his own life.

[PlanetaSugus]

@f4ust85 Don't insult. If you don't like his attitude, I respect it. But don't insult. Freddie Mercury didn't push anything upon anybody, so if you don't like it, go away.

"when you see a short indian raging fag with big teeth" We all would be glad to see how gorgeous you are. Sarcasm mode off.

[thecatisouttathebag]

@f4ust85 Just learn to accept everyone you conservative prick. I accept everyone but your disgusting red neck fucking homophobic type. If anyone is a "raging fag" its probably you! youre just to scared to admit it. Anyway go die in a hole you republican dip shit

[SteveHoweJeffBerlin]

@thecatisouttathebag lol, . . owned, . . . thanks for saving me the trouble.

[thecatisouttathebag]

@SteveHoweJeffBerlin lol no prob haha

[mosterv]

One of the best singers ever lived. Love you Freddie. You did it.

[cliffedward]

What I liked about Freddie was he did'nt take himself seriously. He was a born comedian. Although I did'nt like his lifestyle,and it cost him in the end, he did live life to the fullest. Bless you Freddie.

[duffydill]

I love this video !! He was a brilliant person !!

[pollitooriginal]

amo sta cancion

[Kaiyon]

I love the visual retakes of the old videos

How can freddie look so manly in drag or a pink suit? :3

[TheYairMC]

que espectaculo de video!!!

[MegaEdileusa]

wowowo is amazing

[carmelle127]

Yes Freddie my love, you definitly knew a lot about the human heart. This song is so truthful i am a pretender myself for my heart has been broken since i was 10 by the death of my oldest sister and it never stop coming in the past 10 years we burried over 3\4 of the family some under 30 some just a little over 30 including my sister guiguitte whom i love more than life itself. so every day i smile and even tell jokes when inside my heart is bleeding. thank you Freddie. I love you always.

[movieman7000]

No one sings this song better than freddie mercury and nobody ever will. Best cover version of the song

[Textynn]

And the Biggest Ham award goes to .....

[ScarletxCrimson]

Haha, Roggieeeee <33333

[TheKatangeseDollar]

this is what i call music, not this justin-bieber-rebecca-black-al­ternative-pop-c**p they show these days.

[maria610421]

Lets look at the great Step Primid behind Freddie, the name Queen, the masque the Homo sexual, who die of the New disease they invented called HIV Aids. Every thing they are going to do they bring in a song and a film, and make a fortune out of the people.

[kariitoxify]

todo el amor por siempre para ti freddy, el mas graandeee..cada dia que pasa te veo y escucho y te encuantro cada dia mas grandioso..te amo..

[Mik33697]

i love the intensity that he put on his voice

[aleksik34]

thats a perfect example of perfect cover of classic song. Love ya forever Freddie and whole Queen

[inneedforlove10]

I just love freddie! i miss him lots

[PtrDin11234]

Roger, Freddie i love you guys <33333333333333333333333333333­3

[mips15]

I love Roger Taylors part in this <3 Bet they had plenty of fun making this vid, I love them to bits :)

[Nizzemancer]

Is it just me or does he look really strange without a mustasche?

[sampuppy2000]

@Nizzemancer its just you :P

[Nizzemancer]

Freddie Mercury - probably the only good thing that's ever come out of Zanzibar.

[MayaRaimondo]

@jammy14344

Now that is THE question of the century. ;)

Anyway, he looks so different as though he's on steroids & no sickness is going to stop the Greatest Showman on Earth. He sang this song as a message. My heart aches, but I love it.

[jammy14344]

he's gay right.?

[Nizzemancer]

@jammy14344 he was bisexual most likely since up until his death he had been in relationships with both men and women.

[5manen]

@Nizzemancer Who cares?

[lovevadimjaclyn]

ha ha he kills me in red drag! he's so awesome

[narmenaz]
