  • Gavin you are a genius! I can't beleive your vocal habilities. You rock!

  • so good!!!!

  • Great cover! He did this song justice.

  • OMG this is effing amazing.

  • It`s so difficult to make a good cover. Really well done.

  • Nice Gavin!!!

  • oh my fricken good. He is amazing!!! I Love him so much!!! :D <3

  • great cover  thanks for posting this.

  • this is the best song ever now because the best singer ever just fuckin took this song from freddie

  • freddy mercury is the man but he is not the greatest singer to ever breath.......... gavin degraw and hes from new york where all the best come from. its the best cover in cover history.........he hits high low middle all he is astonishing he is still young still and his voice is gonna get deeper......know one is better than gavin degraw not even robert plant or steven tyler.......gavin is god of singing weither u like it or not.......he doesnt have jimmy page or bonham but he is the greatest.

  • @FreddieMercury1994 wow aren't you tone deaf!!!!!!!!

  • beautiful

  • Ok peeps, for those who thinks this is awful and whatever nasty words you may add should just STFU ok. This version is SO soulful and powerful, this is as good as it gets. U cannot comprehend what talent it takes to do this cover the way Gavin did it so all you haters out there MOVE ON to whatever shit "music" you listen to!!!!

  • It's funny seeing all these comments about Gavin's voice breaking and him not being able to hit certain notes. This is professional recording. You really think that if his voice broke by accident, that they'd let it slip by? He did it on purpose. That's part of what makes Gavin Gavin. This cover is full of Gavin's unique stylistic choices. Some people will like it, some wont. But nothing he does is by accident, lol. He knows what he's doing. I like Freddie's version more, but Gavin sounds great.

  • arrangement is atrocious. i appreciate the bluesy approach but don't see the point: blues can go for the gut wrenching pain in lyrics but song swerves (operatically! like "drunk", glorious liza who freddied adored!) to a rallying chorus to uplift...so what does blues do with that? no transition of emotional gears, nor does it subvert it (if you see queen as false, melodramatic platitudes)...pointless except for session pay

  • He sings this like he's cooler than Freddie Mercury. Sorry dude, that chair's reserved for pretty much just God.

  • Great cover! He reminds me sometimes of Ben Harper in some parts....

  • @alternatuveace You can't say that this dude can't reach the high tones... If you listen to all of his other covers and own songs you would know that he just sings fantastic on every song, both high and low... 1 example that he can sing really high is for example his cover of Sam Cookes song Change Is Gonna Come...

  • This is a really good cover!!! I love the bluesy sound of it.

  • WOW!

  • I LOVE mp3iffy it WORKS just google mp3iffy.

  • very nice, but the original has the nostalgia .

  • Thanks so much for this song. I had a bus trip for like 10 hours, and I listened this song alot! Thanks for the upload.

    Gavin DeGraw has a great voice. Every song can he make better, don't know how, but he can!

  • his voice cracks 4 times in this song and he shortens notes because he cant hit the high notes to even say he did an amazing job on this song is just fuckin retarded that is a direct insult to freddie mercury and i like gavin but this was bad

  • @alternativeace  I have to agree with you on this one. I think this is a awful cover.

  • amazing

    cover

  • Out on spotify please!! The hole album rocks!

  • i love gavin's covers on songs. he is absolutely awesome=]

  • man its tough to try to reinvent this song, and although i am a fan, not diggin this. he does a sick tracks of my tears cover tho that is like one my favorite songs by him

  • amazing  voice!!!!!

  • i am actually speechless! I can't believe how amazing this cover is! I never knew he sung this! so glad i found it. THANKS FOR POSTING!!!!!!

  • This song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    kicks butt on this song!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He can sing good on every single song he has attempted to sing!!!!!!!!!!

    I LOVE YOU GAVIN!

  • This is so awesome. I was a huge Queen fan in the late 70's and 80's. Freddie Mercury really spoke to my heart. I love this version as I am not into the Queen thing anymore really, I'm actually a hardcore DMB fan, haha Anyway Gavin has the soul of the motown and stax artists. At his young age it is amazing. To put this song with his soul influences is so cool.

  • this song is a KILLER.  not for the faint of heart.

  • Comment removed

  • He knows how to tactfully cover a song and make it amazing.

  • I love him !

  • i love his voice.

  • Loves when Gavin Degraw does cover... Wish he could make a cover of a Michael Jackson song.

  • yeah!! the billie jean of david cook

  • It was chris cornell who founded that song.

  • In true it is a good cover...

  • Mind that this is an insanely difficulty tune to sing....not a lot people sound this good when singing Freddie Mercury. I think he does a really good job, 4.5 stars is adequate...

  • gavin can take it a song and make it another song i love him and his talent just doesnt end wish he wasnt so underrated

  • This is just to amazing to describe with words!!

  • queen is the best band and hearing gavin singing one of their songs just fills my heart with hapiness 'cause gavin's is the best artist<3

  • Wow. I've just recently gotten into this guy. He's f'n awesome.

  • Gavin DeGraw is my musical hero..

  • he can sing ANYTHING... he is amazing.

  • Ti amo Gavin!!!!

  • awsome version

  • I would love to have a copy of this song! Gavin is amazing!

  • i think Gavin does great in this song

  • I think so too.

  • he has a great voice, but it does not fit this song.

    i know a cover should be original, but he changes the tune of the verses, and the speed.

    i like gavin, but this is too much.

  • You're crazy. What's the point of covering a song if you don't make it your own. This is freaking art, man. If Mercury heard this, he would probably love it. You shouldn't listen to music, ever.

  • you are retarded.

  • did i not say that a cover should be original. and you have no idea what mercury would think.

    all i was saying is that i think he changes the tune too much. if that offends you, suck it.

    btw way to reply to a comment left 3 months ago.

  • You don't offend me, you make me laugh.

  • good.

  • brilliant, he is just so talented

  • Unbelievable...

  • Greatest cover of WATC.

    Ever

    (i´ve heard them all...)

    It's even better (sorry Freddy) than some Queen's performances

  • what the fuck are you mad dont ever say that shit again he cant even hit some of the notes...wich makes lack of the song it doesnt even sound close to the orginal

  • believe me, he can hit the notes...if he couldn't they wouldn't have released this...it's just a different vocal style.

    I agree with tiranoritira, this is the BEST cover of WATC ever. Gavin's a monster.

  • I've said "even better than SOME". I can show you some of these poor freddy's performances. Bet you can't show me a better cover than Gavin's

  • ...I respectfully disagree. I really don't like this cover. The only one that I do like however is the version currently in the "We Will Rock You" musical that Tony Vincent and the cast had done.

  • okay poor or not dont say its better then some or any of freddie's performances because its rediculus to say gavin, breaking benjamin or any artist for that matter is better then the orginal artist who created the song, and here a couple... green day,robbie williams, and not saying there good cause no one compares to queen but at least it sounds familiar unlike gavin and they can hit closer notes then him...

  • man he can sing

    he did a great job on this song

  • i agree !

  • This is fuckin' good, and i'm a huge Queen fan. When the guitar came in at the 'bad mistakes" part, there was this weird sounding slide, and it made me wish the guitar stayed weird throughout the song. The Brian May imitation with the tone and everything was the only thing I would change. Awesome band, playing rootsy and all. Playing that slow and lazy with some weirdo guitar would have been the shit!!!!!!

  • the best thing ever.

    2nd best only to queen

  • gosh. he is amazing! the only person i have heard do a good job on this other than him was Michael Johns. but gavin, just AMAZING

  • greatest. cover. ever. nuff said.
