  • Nice try - next!

  • robbie mercury =) nice sing

  • add me

    

  • Robby has a great voice...

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you all! :)

  • John Deacon: "Robbie Williams is absolutely no Freddie Mercury!"

  • Freddie Fan.

  • PA Won!

  • PA WINS

  • Why is he holding the microphone the way Freddie used to? pseudo rockstar twatface with a god awful voice. Wannabe Freddie, Neverbe Freddie.

  • @mercuryforeva u think people should forget about Freddie? because of guys like Robbie he still is on top. grow up.

  • Comment removed

  • @zlosiej Because of people like Williams are you joking? There are many vocal artists of whom don't have to PRETEND to be Freddie to emulate the music for example: Adam Lambert (amazing), The Darkness musically nowadays. Freddie Mercury will always be remembered as being amazing and UNIQUE. Look at the we will rock you performances by the flamer RW's, then compare it with true talent as listed above. FM and Queen are unforgettable, hence why many artists look up to them, (not copy)

  • @mercuryforeva To me, Robbie Williams is a crime against music. It's people like him who are destroying British pop culture. He has 1% of Mick Jagger's talent. He's the post-9/11 feelgood factor. He doesn't mean anything - he's utterly vacant. If Robbie Williams is what sells then give me any unsigned band in a garage any day of the week. At least they'll love music. Robbie Williams is music for people who don't feel - or the payment on the mortgage, if you work for EMI.

  • @solarDeviant He can't sing that's the thing, he is a copy artist. He tried to do the same with Frank Sinatra and Elvis. Take That did a great comeback without him and had more chart topping success without him. Now he has come back and on their latest tour, many fans dubbed it: "The Robbie Williams show" because he kept on self glamorizing his solo material. It was TAKE THAT gig! Williams was forgotten for years before he rejoined TT. Gary Barlow is the true singer of the group.

  • @zlosiej Yes he has a distinctive voice but he can't really sing. He broke up Take That. He spent the next ten years writing and releasing shitty, catchy music. He was openly a drug addict (great role model). And now he's joined Take That again and has blatantly said "I'm doing this because I have no other way to get famous again and they're so successful. But it's only for a little while." Cock. And he's ruined their latest album.

  • when you see and hear things like this, you realize how great Queen was. 

  • 1:07 haha :-)

  • 47 idioter!!

    

  • freddy is the best !!!! that's all !!!!!!

  • Coincido con lo que dijo John Deacon sobre esta versión hecha por Robbie Williams, nada más, si quieran averiguar sobre lo que dijo Deacon sobre esta versión investiguen en la red

  • @ferforever74 ya somos dos

  • ´GOOD TREB

  • AMAZING! <3

  • A arte se renova, com cara nova, ninguém substitui ninguém somente acrescenta!!!!

  • Ficou muito ruim!

    Esse cara não sabe cantar!

    E nunca chegará aos pés de Freddie Mercury!

    It was very bad!

    This guy can not sing!

    And never come at the feet of Freddie Mercury!

  • beautiful video

  • this concert is in germany ... nice audience! nice job rob!

  • I'm sure that's a tribute for Freddie Mercury and Queen :)

    Queen rules :D

  • GREAT performance, love ya Rob!! :-)

  • Comment removed

  • Robbie Williams live is allways fucking brilliant. But by "We are the Champions" he is beat the pants off so.

    GREAT!!!!

  • YES.......Rob's the best

  • BEST

  • Can anyone tell me who is on the guitar? Hes great!

  • I did not like the studio version but as always Queen + anyone live is always great

  • sranke szyn

  • this sucks

  • I recommend anyone to take his music and burst a lung singing them. In the shower,. in the car, with your drunken friends at a bar, at ball games and graduation parties. We've all paid tribute. When Freddie said that the whole point of Queen was to be original, I think he simply wanted everyone to do things their own way. That's all we can do, sing his music our own way. Cause his way is his alone.

  • Nobody is taking Freddie's songs. It's called Tribute, and if nobody did tributes, then his memory would be dead. Specially to the new generations who've never heard of him. Each rendition belongs to the artist singing, but the heart of the music will always be Freddie's. Those who remember his voice while he was still alive are blessed with that personal connection.

  • think robbie makes a splendid job. Long live Freddie!

  • you know its the same way with the journey videos the band wants to keep playing its not like the songs sound bad there not the same but just shut up and let the fucking song live on

  • im a huge queen fun but brian and roger fucked everything up by letting other singers to sing freddie's songs

  • thats how popmusic works ): i wish the crowd would think a tiny little about what they listen to

  • I think that Freddie would be happy to know that ppl are looking up to him :P

  • plz dont sing that song william!!!!just my way its better for you...

  • Queen chose HIM to front them to sing for Freddie. If you don't respect him respect THAT. Also, I only klnow of about three things where the remake was better than the original, so...

  • very good performance¡¡

  • anyway, I love Robbie and Billie Joe too, but FREDDIE MERCURY was and will be the best

  • what the f*ck are you saying??? Billie Joe sings this songs half tone higher than Robbie. I controlled it. What did you think? Robbie Williams must be the best only becouse he's called Robbie Williams?!

  • hey YOPU ASSHOLE I KNOW BILLIE JOE SINGS IT HALF TONE HIGHER THAN ROBBIE THAT'S WHAT I WROTE YOU STUPID I SING IN MY BAND SO I KNOW THIS IS A VERY HARD SONG TO SING OVERALL IN THE CHORUS ROBBIE SUCKS HE IS JUST ANOTHER POP MEDIOCRE STAR MORE

  • soglasna))))))))))

  • не тянет он эту песню, Фреди был один такой =))))

  • ADAM LAMBERT FOR QUEEN! YEAH!

  • i think robbie williams is sexy and hot

  • And since when is it any of my business? --"

  • lol

  • There was a time when I'd bet money on Robbie to be the next Queen-Frontman. Hearing this and after listening to Paul Rodgers, I know Brian and Roger made the right decision.

    It's not that I hate this version, surely it's cool gimmick for a Robbie-Concert, but I don't think I could stand a whole Queen-Gig with him.

  • billie joe armstrong's version is better than this, robbie also sings it one tone down :

    Freddie: C minor

    Billie Joe: B minor

    Robbie: B flat minor (the lowest the easiest)

  • oh god billie joe's performance really sucks..i don't like it at all...i think robbie did it better

  • Comment removed

  • @Laykoz7

    DOnt talk nonsense, evryone has a very different type of voice , you expect evryone to reach C5, U, me , billie, and evry1 one is different so i dont know what you mean by mediocre technique. but i do know that u belt higher notes thru ur diagphram. it gives power to it

  • This is soooo bad, sad guy.

  • Robbie is the best, he sings so well!!! He's amazing!!!!!

  • Robbie did sing it at the original pitch on record, though, so credit to him. Even Freddie couldn't sing all the notes live - the highest he ever went on this song, apart from Live Aid, was A#4, which Robbie hits here.

  • noooo Robbie sing this song lower, not high like Freddie on live, Freddie had more powerful voice than Rob

  • I said ON RECORD. Yes, Robbie did lower it live, but retained all note differences, unlike Freddie, who sung it at the same pitch as on record but lowered certain notes. Thus Robbie hit A#4's during this performance, the highest note Freddie ever hit while singing this song live, with the exception of Live Aid. At Wembley '86, Freddie's Bb4's were overdubbed.

    Yes, Freddie has a more powerful voice, but that wasn't the point.

  • I get what your saying, but there's versions of WATC where Freddie gets the C5 in the verses.

  • fuck you. you can not ever sing like freddy

  • yes i saw alot of times, but inb my opinion axl voice much better

  • TheRabber1, i think the only one man who sings can sing soo strongly queens songs is axl rose :) but it just my opinion

  • Have you ever watched George Michael's performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert?

  • ridiculus

  • Robbie, your are the BEST!!!

  • who is the guitarplayer in his band (this video)?

  • it's a tone down compared to the original sung by freddie mercury the best singer ever

  • GREEN DAY BETTER MAN!

    THIS SUCKS

  • Green Day?, r u shitting me man?, this is (next to Freddie's version) priceless, this is probably the best version done in the last 3 decades

  • Adam lambert did alright too.

  • Alright?, alright?, he kicked ass man, Adam rocked it, it was Kris Allen that did just alright

  • I think Green Day's version of this song is way better then this !

  • i agree!!

    :)

  • Paul Rodgers sings it very good too!

  • why everyone is covering this song nobody can sing it like freddie!!!! the new queen is good too but the old WAS the best!!!

  • Green Day is way better.

  • Robbie THE BEST !

  • freddie the best

  • i heard the green day cover, IT SUCKED! the guy cou|dnt sing this song to save his |ife! at|east robbie wi||iams got the notes right!

    2 GD 8/10

    3 Robbie 4/10 ^^

  • Well he's no Freddie, but to all the Queen fans getting uptight that anyone should DARE try cover songs such as this remember: imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Be thankful Queen still mean that much today that people attempt a cover to show their respect.

  • ok, tell me why this suck, im not a big fan of robbie, but tell me whats sucks with it....

  • I'm starting to hate this guy.

  • and robbie was asked to replace Queen cos he did such a good version out of it

  • my notes are:

    Queen 10/10

    Green Day 10/10

    Robbie Williams 10/10

  • flippin hek no hes bloody nt now all those idiots who complain about queen and paul rodgers should be complainin bout this

  • this cover sucks

  • omg he has nooo power in hjis voice look green day cover and them watch queen...

    1.queen

    2GD

    3.robbie

    that's the truth

  • my grades: Queen: 10/10

    Robbie: 8/10

    Greenday: -99999/10 (drunken chimps can do a better version than greenday)

  • My notes are:

    Queen 10/10

    Green Day - 5/10

    R. Williams - 1/10

  • i agree

  • OOOOOMG!

  • bad,very bad

  • terrible bullshit. freddie would vomit to hear that "music". shame on you robbie fuck yourself williams. YOU ASSHOLE

  • lok m8 i dont like covers mroe than the next person but he wrote this with freddie so you cant really say tht

  • The song is from 1978, when Williams was 5 years old. That means he can not haven written the song with him.

  • hahah, FoxxyBrown1111's comment was an example of youtube being a place for ignorant nerds hiding behind their usernames to pretend to have knowledge and judge everything they dont aggree with. But your comment, mattosapian, is just plain stupidity... haha, how can you even manage to type the words without hearing some kind of alarm going off, - RW and Freddie writing this together?

  • Green day shit all over this dickhead. But queen shit all over everyone. Queen are the best!

  • lol

  • OK cover, I have heard him sing much better though. Still better then Greenday's cover though, don't like that one a lot.

    Queen is best though.

  • Embarrassing.

  • he does this song better in the studio than live. this is subpar

  • a common thing among singers

  • Green Day's cover is better, but this isn't that bad : )

  • shit

  • Complete bollocks.

    Queen=10/10

    Green Day=5/10

    This shit=1/10

    Robbie is very good but his version of this awesome song is CRAP!!!

  • IMO notes should be a bit different ;pp

    Queen = 10/10

    Green Day = 8/10

    Robbie = 1/10

    if u're listening that after a GD cover u'll understand me xD

  • Billy joes cover was better. But this is still ok, i guess.

  • billie joe of green day?

  • yep

  • he sucks,my neighbour laundress sings better

  • at first i thought the title was robin williams and i'm like that's not robin williams.lol!

  • Reminds me more of George Michael than Freddie...

  • sure he's not freddie, but he's pretty good

  • ammm

    con que anda imitando a freddie mercury

    fuck you robbie ¬¬

  • robbie the best

  • rip freddie

  • He does it well, but its nothing compared with Freddy and Queen

  • Why have people given you so many thumbs down, you're right. Robbie's cover is good for an overrated popstar. Compared with Freddie's it's mediocre. At least I think that's what you mean.

  • I have no problem with people covering classics - But only if they do them well.

    This is fucking shite of the highest order, Williams just does not have the voice (or the band) to even think about covering a song such as this. He should have left it well alone.

    The Green day cover on the other hand is sheer class in every way.

  • freddie sos irremplazable¡¡Dios hacenos un favor y resucitalo¡¡

    RW no lo hace tan mal¡¡hasta con el microfono lo imita a FM

  • i think artists struggle covering queen songs.

    this isn't too bad but i'm still recovering from his dreadfull version of we will rock you at live8

  • I love Robbie - but Freddie is Freddie - no one can compare , he will always be missed and I have to give Robbie credit for trying and almost making it.

  • Robbie is awesome but fredie is more better

  • robbie,sing angles or feel,leave this to queen+paul rodgers

    FREDDIE MERCURY FOREVER

  • agree

  • Everyone who's complaining about this cover because he's trying to sing a song from a great band, your all a bunch of ignorant fools.

    Why do you think he wants to sing it? Because it's such a unique and incredible song. If people didn't cover it, how would people from younger generations hear these songs?

    Even if the cover he's doing isn't the best, you should still be happy that he's trying to bring music like this to everyone who never had the chance to go see Queen when they preformed it.

  • im agree with u

  • Agreed... if people find out about Queen through this [far less good then Freddie's] version of the song, then that's a good thing. And you can't expect ANYONE to be even nearly as good as Freddie, it's just not possible imo :D

  • hombre es muy bueno, y desde luego mucho mejor que PR

  • great great great

  • preferisco i queen

  • QUEEN DOES IT THE BEST!!

    THESE SUCK

  • green day was way better!robbie williams should take lessons form green day.GREEN DAY ROCKS!!!!!!!!

  • dis one is worser den green day. green day was betta i could sing it

  • he killed it

  • much better than green days one

  • definitivamente se escucha mejor con Green Day! oo see

  • definitivamente se escuchó, se escuhca y se escuchara con Freddie Mercury

  • dude, the greenday one was way better. And that is from someone who hates covers

  • Amazing but not as good as Queens

  • i thik green day do the best

  • He cheated. it's not bad just dull. look at green day's version at reading 2004. the mic thing was robbie and his ego i reckon

  • Yeah, I am a queen fan, but i think R.W did a really good job covering this song, He didnt go crazy out of the style, he did a very good job... Matched freddie pretty well. Just my opinion.

  • fag on the extreme

  • He's Taking The Piss With That Mini Mic Like Freddies. He cannto Song This Song And I Never Thought He Could Sing Anyway

  • not bad :/

  • robbies gay.

  • You know what, his sexuality has f@ck all to do with this video. So put a sock in it, will you?!
