I think that the audience on this video, especially on this part 3:50 was the first and only time I have ever seen an entire audience participate like that. Truly amazing.
Omg... do you see how many people are in the crowd???? jeez... love this song... i grew up on queen. his voice comes soo close to the original it's crazy! just effin awesome! This video made my day!
If Queen wants a voice that compares to Freddies, it certainly is George Michael.. I mean there is only one Freddie Mercury... But, damn George is a close second with his voice...
One of THE best YouTube videos out there, and certainly one of THE best all-time LIVE performances! I don't agree with the gay lifestyle at all, but George Michael is truly one AWESOME singer. He NAILED this song! The reaction on Brian May's face is priceless!
George did a beautiful job covering this song. Maybe it just me, but did that last high note sound like Freddie to anyone? George turns his back on the audience for that part, so maybe they put a little of Freddie into the mix.
Artist those days had studio quality performances while live, unfiltered, and unedited. Nowadays, popular artists can't sing live for shit. I was born in the wrong generation. Who else thinks so too?
Love Freddie, but I prefer George's voice. It's simply more beautiful. Freddie has the power and range, but George is sexier, voice-wise and person-wise.
Brian May's face at 4:02 says it all, what a beautiful tribute. I never was a fan of GM before I saw this live back in the day. This sent chills down my spine, and it still does! God bless freddie Mrecury, and may he rest in peace!
America has Grammy awards and car commercials. Society is getting more lights, on tires and license plates. We are going to different headlight bulbs. You are a racer, of cars. If you remix your songs, you can get a transforming universe to awesome. You can search, for mixing of songs. The company will create it, for you.
He chickened out on the Riff at the end, and threw the mic at the audience. Uh no, YOU'RE supposed to sing the difficult parts dude. Not the audience.
This trib. in 1992 was mag. GM carried all the excitement and 'edge' to make it one hot Freddie trib! Freddie would have been grooving to it. BTW..Try listening to George's, "A Different Corner". Melody, voice control, passion,..George does it perfectly. Freddie will always be greatest though, he just has more musical genious to work with.
This used to be my all time favourite Queen song, over & above the originals with Freddie... then Marc Martel loaded a video last month... and well it's pretty obvious my universe no longer makes sense!
Not bad but it's damn near impossible to come close to Freddie and his range. Freddie hit notes octaves apart effortlessly. Nice job to George but Freddie was a once in a lifetime singer
@krpt176 I'll tell you what though, this is the closest I've ever heard anyone come to matching the original vocals as far as the delivery and phrasing!
This is awesome. You homophobes should shut off your monitor when listening to a Queen song .Maybe then you can appreciate the music and not point fingers.Hmm?
For those comparing this one to Marc Martel, George Michael had to drop it from the original key in order to reach the notes - and still didn't hit all of them. He's definitely a GREAT vocalist, but not near the range of Freddie or Martel.
I think part of why George Michael does such a brilliant job is that he knows his career would not have existed without Freddie Mercury. So it's a really heart-felt tribute. I love both versions. The original and this one.
You really can't appreciate this performance until you've watched all the other tributes from this concert. Then you can understand how George Michael captures the true essence of Mercury and rises above himself, almost "channels" Freddie as no one has ever done before. And the way he connects to the crowd is unlike anything any of the other performers came close to. This was truly a one-in-a-lifetime performance and George Michael deserves the highest respect for that. BRAVO!
This is amazing. To think that 20 yrs later, he's addicted to pot & it's ruining his voice. He's admitted to it, sadly. But said that it "fuels him creatively." A lot of good that'll do when your voice is trashed. Get it together George.
I think George really took this seriously and he was thrilled he hit those trademark high notes perfectly. He must have listened to this over and over to get it down so well. Well Done George, that is sheer respect from one Musician to Another.
@PrettyPaul Agreed. I love Paul Rodgers, but his voice just doesn't fit Queen's music. While nobody could truly fill Freddie's shoes, George Michael is probably the best fit. He's certainly got the vocal range for it.
I dont know is it because both of them Flamboyant, but this is the Best cover of Freddie ever, Please Please George be Queen lead singer. I saw Paul Rogers, He is great but You did so Awesome
George Michael should have been the permanent replacement for the late great Freddie Mercury.He sounds great and would've been perfect.Thanks for sharing this great video!!
I have watched this video lots of times, just incredible cover of one of the best songs ever recorded. Thank you George Michael for giving it 110% .. and thank you Freddie and Queen for music that will never die.
Its like George Michael was possessed by Freddie Mercury. At least we know Freddie was smiling down on this performance. You can't top the ultimate showman, but this is about as close as you can get
George Michael is the only living man on Earth who can pull off this song. ...Pun not intended by writing "pull off" in the previous sentence. He is good.
Mad respect to George Michael for this performance. Considering the occasion, I think his was the best performance of all that night. A really moving moment with him performing one of Freddie's greatest creations.
Not a fan of GM, but if he sings like this in his other songs, I may have to buy his music. Simply put: Best cover of a QUEEN song EVER! I get chills listening to this song!! What a performance..stole the show! GM, you made Freddie proud!
GM is wonderful! Couldn't have been better. But everyone knows the last of it was all Freddie. The reaction of Brian May showed that. It was all Freddie. But George did a spectacular performance. Freddie was smiling down on the event! You know it was all Freddie when George turned his back on the audience.
