Killer Queen - Acapella - Freddie Mercury

[WingMercury]

Freddie is the kind of singer who doesn't really need the music around. He can steal our hearts just with a pure voice.

[Inimoulleb]

OooOooo yeaeah.

[CPProductions3]

I love how he says insatiable and 'Fastidious and precise'

[HalestormMarz97]

@steadfastcoward Thank you for being my first, dear friend. Means a lot, and now I shall cry from all the blood that has caused you from being first.

[lacyt36]

I love the way he says remedy...so orgasmic

[queen4858]

@lacyt36 what !?!? how can you say word like this......

[lacyt36]

@queen4858 I'm sorry!! It's just how I feel!! lol

[eatmealiveplease]

@queen4858 dont be melodramatic

[mametank1]

Fantastic! thanks for sharing!

[HalestormMarz97]

Tthis song is called Killer Queen, not Acapella

[steadfastcoward]

@HalestormMarz97 I'm sure somebody has already explained that 'acapella' means 'vocals only' but if no, I'm your first ; p CHEERS

[habibo93]

i'm scared of his voice ... its sounds like his eating a person while coming up with the lyric - sorry if this offence anyone - its my first tie listning to this TT_______TT

[ExaggeratedCool]

@habibo93 I don't think it even could offend anyone. It doesnt make sense. O_o

[habibo93]

@ExaggeratedCool Haha thats "only" because i'm wierd ^___^' hehe i got this thought that he was eating someone... :O

[ExaggeratedCool]

@habibo93 No, I don't think that was it.

[habibo93]

@ExaggeratedCool hmm... then you tell me!

[89Pleasek]

1:57 - 2:16

I can listen to that part all the time

[mysticfather]

I think he might have been talking about Lady Gaga

[Imissfreddie123]

I hear some bass and piano so it's not really acapella

[AguirreFurorediDio1]

This is the normal song without the lines of bass, guitar and drums.. Is not "acappella".

[TheNeonRabbit]

@AguirreFurorediDio1 a cap·pel·la : without instrumental accompaniment -Websters

[MsHeidiA]

@AguirreFurorediDio1 Which is what acappella is.

[supsification]

@AguirreFurorediDio1 Fuck you're dumb.

[PreciosaHOND73]

Awesome! True artist

[1emeraldlioness]

Wow! That's the difference between TRUE PERFORMERS and the fake wanna be performers of today..not too many can actually SING.. QUEEN ROCKS!!

[Imissfreddie123]

Freddie and I have so much in common. But the strange thing is that i'm a girl and i'm a tenor.

[mulholland1985]

i do believe that freddie and michael jackson had the most soulful voices in the history of music...i think early robert plant too...but fred and mike remind me of an angels calling....

[simplyjenny00]

@mulholland1985 Totally! Michael and Freddie are my faves!

[slimsxyblkwoman]

Impeccable vocals! 

[oOToStopANightmareOo]

@silarnon ... It is acapella. You just explained acapella, and that is what this is.

[mikeknight4u]

There will never be another group that had the musical, lyrical and technical talent of queen. Never heard vocals so pure.

[DeathToMayo]

@mikeknight4u If you mean specifically rock vocals, I wouldn't be able to agree more.

[PAQO1978]

Simplemente perfecto

[89Pleasek]

1:57 - 2:20 wow

[OperationUnicron]

Is this actually sung acapella or was the instrumental part edited out?

[TheWoodenHelm]

@OperationUnicron Neither. It's simply the isolated vocal track from the original multi-track recording. I guess you could say the instrumental was "edited" out, but it was simply left out.

[silarnon]

@OperationUnicron It's the vocal tracks from the master tape. So no, not a capella. Technicially the music isn't edited out, it's just not added in.

[Ixamp]

What a godly piece!! Whole natural, no autotune crap! Queen is real!

[Ikeisbo]

Great falsettos Farrokh

[veronicamilan]

I love it!

[soycolombiano2010]

Thank you daddybeck. What a piece of jewelry.

[VooDooKaDoLL]

Awesome vibrato, mmm...

[Queenrock990]

I never heared the bit at the end....

[narcosist]

what is that vibration sorta voice they do? vibrato? autotune? can anyone please tell me?

[AntonISAHOTT]

@narcosist I safely tell you that they didn't have autotune in the 70s

[CRBjeep]

@AntonISAHOTT I told him the same thing on the official video for this song. The closest thing they had to autotune at the time were synthesizers,and we all know damn well Queen never used them until "The Game" album which came out in 1980. The very idea that Freddie would need or use autotune is blasphemous.

[CRBjeep]

@narcosist Vibrato. Autotune wasn't even around when this song was recorded, and Queen wouldn't have needed it anyway. ; )

[narcosist]

@CRBjeep alright, thanks

[xxQUEEN4EVAxx]

Good job on the board. Would of been nice if they did it for real.

[gunner4evergunner]

....the best singer ever that is a fact...

[funkandgroovin]

@gunner4evergunner i completely concur.

[zam692000]

Master of the Master

[dreamon613]

its amazing how hard it is to sing some of queen's song and Freddy makes it seem so easy.

[ukyox2x]

Absolutely amazing :)

[technologyisgreat]

amazing how "showtune-y" Queen was and yet they rocked harder than almost any other band.

[pieterjanoddens]

This is called isolated audio! The instrumental music is digitally filtered out so that the voices are comming to surface. No rare version... Just Killer Queen - love it!

[ISEEKAMERICANIDOL]

cooooooool

[RequiemX66]

i like this, something different not going away from the original version...thanx for posting...

[Kasbahkabaret]

Oh, thank you. I am so happy I was privelaged to see Queen twice in concert. Once as a teen in the late 70's at the Forum in L.A and then again in the 80's also at the Forum. The whole band is amazing and Freddie was the ultimate rock showman/vocalist. I miss him.

[vq66a]

GREAT GREAT AND AGAIN GREAT! IF I HAD TO CHOOSE TO BRING ONE PERSON FROM DEATH,THAT WOULD BE YOU, FREDDIE! (BOW)

[webkinzsuperfan123]

Wow! It sounds a lot different with the music

[SallovesMJ]

Sounds like he's next to me :')

[VooDooKaDoLL]

@SallovesMJ Damn yeah... his voice sounds so close, it's beautiful, sweet, awesome... i miss Freddie so bad ;(

[SallovesMJ]

@VooDooKaDoLL Yeah... It's like he comes alive and singing it to me. It's just so heartbreaking that it's not something that really can happen. I miss him too :(

[VooDooKaDoLL]

@SallovesMJ I blame this stupid disease, took our Freddie away from us, can you just imaging how incredible things could did if AIDS didn't?? ;(

[SallovesMJ]

@VooDooKaDoLL I know, Freddie would've been here and still rocking out if AIDS wasn't in his body :( It's just so sad :'(

[nirmanyu97]

ITS LIKE HE IS REALLY CLOSE TO ME

[Myview246]

@nirmanyu97 yeah true, its like he is singing in my ear (well i am wearing headphones but still, other music doesnt sound like this)

[lovesickharmony]

I know why god took his life on earth.

Because he's an angel, and angels belong in heaven. <3

[ozproproductions]

@lovesickharmony freddie's awesome, but god isn't real

[lovesickharmony]

@ozproproductions Thanks for ruining my moment.

[sammmiii13]

ah god, his cheekbones are magnificent <3

[ididntbitem]

my favorite Queen song!! Always hard to find

[JaikEEnhieLLe17]

His vibrato is so amazing!

[Mchasui]

@JaikEEnhieLLe17

What is it? can anyone tell me which sec he doing that?

[gracielalauraleiva]

It's like you can still hear the sound of the instruments in his voice ... pure talent.

[Kaiyon]

Where do you get this version?



[skelseys]

11 idiots have no ear for real talent

[hollyfigueroaoreilly]

@skelseys more likely they are homophobes.

[FrenzyFaust]

lol, it's simply the voice track of Killer Queen song. Then, if u add instrumental sound, u get the full song XD

[WHTMBassist]

I wish this was A-Cappaella, rather then just a vocal track, I would had loved to have heard them sing all the instruments vocally, that would had guarantee to blow my mind. thank you for uploading this, this was amazing

[beatles61]

Most of you may think those are dubbed tracks, what you don't know is that they are all one track done in one take.

[ShadesOfWillow]

So awesome.......... a fav

[conman2317]

reddit

[hairforce10]

Those where the days.....

[isti82]

autotune!!! :D

I mean people these days are amazed if someone is able to sing properly,

it's not that special though, but nice of course. :)

[Kroder]

@isti82 There was no such thing as autotune in the 70's...

[shrill99]

@Kroder Amen!!! Either you can do it,OR YOU CAN'T.END OF DEBATE.

[corwinchapman]

@isti82 are you fucking retarded?

[AlexRandomness658]

@isti82 are you completly fucking retarded?! there was no autotune in the 70's, they didnt need it nyway because they had REAL TALENT

[isti82]

@AlexRandomness658 really? You mean autotune was introduced only in 1997 by Antares? LOL

you people really don't understand what I wrote about. nevermind, keep up the simple minded hatin' :D

[hepatitis123]

@AlexRandomness658 Autotune has existed since the 70s. Singers like Robert Plant used it to help sing live. It's just nearly impossible to tell because the closer to the actual pitch you try to hit, the less distorted the vocals are.

[thinkbigize]

@hepatitis123 so the really bad singers are the ones who you notice are using autotune are actually not hitting notes (T-Pain).....? singers today suck compared to the likes of Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant...

[hepatitis123]

@thinkbigize Exactly. :D Nobody can match the quality of vocals like they did in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It seems like musicians these days only care about the finished product, not the steps needed to get there.

[TeriyakiSouped]

@234234234werrrrrrr

Oh man you weak troller, shouldn't even be on Reddit you twat

[JerseyBricklayer]

@TeriyakiSouped Fuck you, go back to 4chan with an attitude like that.

[TeriyakiSouped]

@JerseyBricklayer

Weaak man, try harder

[MrMagogster]

9 deaf people have watched this video

[farkaldoodal]

Wow. Just wow. Im going to go and cry in a corner, lamenting the death of good music. Music before the 80's was much much better than anything afterwards. And i swear, i have goosebumps from this.

[stevematylewicz]

i know it's a bit off topic, but one of the reasons I fell in love with my Wife was her ability to sing so well all the time. She can nail notes with ease and her voice can be both soft and gentle one moment and then harsh and filled with emotion the next. She has recorded a few albums and I love her singing. Check it out and tell me what you think... or dont..lol. Google Shannon Rose and The Thorns . com

[PasContent]

goosebumps all over



[orpheus119]

Is he the best vocalist ever? Not close. One of the best? Maybe. No new artist from the past 11 years has anything on the great vocalists of 60's 70's and 80's. Neil Young. Simon and Garfunkel. Crosby, Stills, and Nash. James Taylor. John Denver. No new artists, who have never written their own music can even be mentioned alongside the greats.

[twitch043]

@orpheus119 You're being very ignorant. Nobody is untouchable simply because they were there first. There will be a better basketball player than Michael Jordan, a better wide receiver than Jerry Rice, to say otherwise is completely unrealistic. The music industry as we know it ('60s and forward) is only in its infancy.

[adamtimmy]

@orpheus119 Consider something, when it comes to pop culture its much less about the quality of voice and much more about the songs they sing and their ability to convey emotion. Listen to Neil Young closely, choose any song...Classically he has a fairly terrible voice, but its distinct in fact you can recognize it right away, even if youve never heard the song before. More importantly he successfully suggests that you feel what he feels. Thats the most important part of any singers voice.

[CJHarty]

@orpheus119 I disagree. Eddie Vedder is one of my favorite vocalists of all time, and if you had to stick him to a decade he'd be 90s/2000s. Is MAINSTREAM music better than the mainstream music of the 1960s/70s? Probably not. But the 21st century has really produced some truly amazing artists, you just have to dig a little deeper to find them. The internet is your friend.

[aweedification]

@orpheus119 Casey Crescenzo, John Gourley Not saying they are anything compared to the vocalists you have listed but they are very very strong vocalist of this generation.

[thecommissioner987]

@orpheus119 many modern singers disagree with you.

[JBdec790]

What dose sexual preference have to do with how well Freddie Mercury sings?

[SRagy]

@carnivalofdead How does, "this is what pure talent sounds like," translate into, "I don't like his voice"?

Do you know what the word 'talent' means?

[jldillon]

Totally awesome, pure talent.

[Trucifer]

wow man juice and gay sex sure helps those high notes sound clean. Maybe thats what Brittany and Gaga are missing.

[CoolBeanzChris]

@Trucifer Have you ever heard of Lady GaGa's old cover band?

[audreyandmary]

There is no doubt in my mind that Freddie Mercury was and will ALWAYS be THE BEST SINGER that has ever graced this world of ours. PERIOD. End of discussion. He had the voice of an angel.

[FallingGlassCastles]

Best vocalist I've ever heard? Not Lady Gaga, or Katie Perry or even MJ. Nope. It's FREDDIE FUCKING MERCURY<3 RIP Freddie

[anneloesveldman1955]

still very much alive

[OlgaBella1]

FREDDIE ALL THE WAY !!!!! sure, MJ was a remarkable singer, too. but freddie is undoubtedly the best musician ever graced the earth!

[audreyandmary]

@OlgaBella1 oh ABSOLUTELY.

[adamspencer24]

good god.

[BlackorWhite0920]

Gosh...I'm in love <3 <3

[tatotato7777]

[EnaLeija]

thank you to share

[Polkadotpidge]

Oh, really? Are we fighting Michael Jackson vs. Freddie Mercury? ALWAYS, always, Freddie guys. Who are we even kidding?

[beatleman98]

@Polkadotpidge I think they're both unique in their own ways, but that's my opinion lol.

[spike67]

American Idol Audition Version but he woud beat competion brutally.

[2002tiif]

Justin Bieber better not rip this off like he did with Someone to love.. This is my personal theme!

[Danisbz]

freddie is better singer than michael, he didnt take music lessons and his voice is so beautiful

[AlexRandomness658]

id like to see ANY singer from today do this 

[nanachatqueentoutout]

Hoooo he just amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiing!

[trollpuritano]

(L)

[jtlampsu]

Michael Jackson better than Freddie??? Yeah right !! get your hearing aid out, Freddie proved he could sing "live" NOT enhanced with backing tapes on stage !!

[awinner23]

It's too bad there aren't super talented male singers like this nowadays. Now everything is autotuned.

[jayshell05]

michael Jackson was voted best singer off all time right behind him, but Honest Michael Jackson is way better

[flipcat61]

@jayshell05 your a moron

[jayshell05]

@flipcat61 my opinion, everyone has there on one, Michael Jackson is better to me

[INS1GHTT]

@jayshell05 I mean if fondling little boys from the grave is what your into..then maybe.

[ADRIANACASTANNEDA]

SIEMPRE LO HE DICHO NO EXISTE NI EXISTIRA NADA MA SBIEN NADIE MEJOR QUE EL REY. SOLO ESCUCHEN SU VOZ, NINGUN INSTRUMENTO ACOMPAÑANDOLO, NO LO NECESITABA, ELLA POR SI MISMA SUENA MEJOR QUE TODA UNA ORQUESTA. FREDDIE TE AMO MA SALLA DEL TIEMPO.

[matco24]

wow tht's cool!

[JenniferSilvaOday]

My favorite voice ever +.+

[thebeatles240]

I LOVE the beatles AND queen.

both amazing bands.

why must we argue?

every member of queen said that theyre favourite band is the beatles, and the reamining beatles both like queen.

peace.

[FinkChrist]

@thebeatles240 Wait... There's an argument about this?

[thebeatles240]

@FinkChrist apparently so XD

[Veneciapaz]

Perfection! Queen Forever........

[thebeatles240]

Wanna try?

[litterboxplayhouse]

@thebeatles240 That was very strange/amazing. I was just scrolling down to read the comments and right as yours jumped out at me, so did the exact phrase in the song!

[thebeatles240]

@litterboxplayhouse Haha, i can realte to that, it happens to me alot.
