este video es ridiculo no veo porque la competencia entre plant y mercury, si mercury a admitido que robert plant es una de sus influencias musicales, no veo cual es la comparacion si ambos son grandes cantantes y dioses del rock ambos le dieron la fuerza y la calidad al hard rock de los 70' y 80' . ambos son asombrosos cantantes . este video es ridiculo y estupido.
Mercury is better than Robert Pland (1973-?_, but Robert (1968-1972) BEATS him don t be stupid guys. Ok it s only 4 years ... 4 years of the best voice of rock. Sorry for my english.
es tan molesto que gente ignorante critique las preferencias sexuales de Freddie, es que acaso queria tener sexo con ustedes??? es que acaso el les pedia algo??? quisieran tener una milesima parte del talento y creatividad que el tuvo, pedazos de imbeciles
honestly, they're two of the best singers in the world. but since i dont even know the color of the walls in my room anymore cuz of all the queen posters, i gotta stay faithful to my role model and my baby, Freddie Mercury. All time most unique, sexy, high low, insane, spine chilling voice of all time, in my opinion.
Robert Plant absolutely ! More particular voice .Mercury's voice is beautiful , powerful , clean and whatever but Plant's is more mysterious and fascinating .
@metalfreak4677 oh my god i feel so bad for ignorant people like you. your missing out on so much cuz ur scared or because ur stupid so now ur gonna hate on other people because of who they love. thats none of ur business- he had the best voice of all time, thats all u need to know. and he was not a queer by the way- he was bisexual. throughout the 70's he had a 6 year relationship with a gorgeous women named mary austin, so fuck you.
@icantstopchewinggum Freddie Mercury deserves to get hung I want to shit on that queers grave! Kill all gays! He's a queer he sucks at music so fuck you! Your a god damn queer for liking him!
They are both amazing, and i love them both, i think Freddie was better, but for those that say Plants voice sucks, listen to this: /watch?v=rrVDViSlsSM that was plants best singing and proved what he could do.
i fucking hate when people do this. robert plant and freddie mercury are both incredible artists each in their different ways. there's no need to compare them.
I’m for Plant but it depends on what you like. Freddie was fantastic for all the Broadway musical sounding rock songs he did. But he falls short of Plant’s hard, anthem-like howling and wailing found in songs like Whole Lotta Love, Kashmir, Immigrant Song, The Battle of Evermore, Four Sticks and he’s phenomenal at the end of You Shook Me. And not to forget Plant’s vocal creativity on the whole album of Houses of The Holy. Have you heard The Crunge?
Plant is good but Mercury was the real deal, the difference? Freddie could sing Led Zep songs and Plant could only dream of hitting Freddies vocal range, this is really the only fair way to compare them, and Mr Mercury wins!
Robert was the best Rock singer, but freddie was the better everything singer....he even sang with an opera star, so my vote is for freddie as the better overall vocalist....
Two of the greatest rock bands ever, both with their own style. I can sit and listen to them both and not even think about comparing their lead singers.
Freddie hands down. I love robert plant and the mighty led zeppelin & robert was a great front man no doubt BUT in terms of vocals I'd have to go with Freddie Mercury. Although I'd have chosen "death on two legs" vs "dazed and confused" to better showcase their vocal might, imo.
@fairyfellermaster Totally agree. "death on two legs" is so effortless. Can't say the same for "dazed and confused". Not the best example if you want to compare vocals.
It does seem these two are always vying for the top spot. To me, Freddie had a larger vocal range and was much smoother. I love them both, but that's my opinion.
@TrueIronMaidenFan You really think Bruce was as good as Mercury?.....I find it hard to put Bruce on that level, when most of the time he doesn't even sing in key.....the best will alway's be freddie, and robert....i find robert to be annoying a lot times, but at his best he was very powerful.
@mikeskyler71 hey asshole, Bruce ALWAYS sings in key! exept in 1984-1985 i just saw the vocal god live, last year, he is 52 and he sang beautifly. he is WAY better then Plant and Mercury combined
@TrueIronMaiden i bet you're 14 years old......only a teenager would say Bruce is better than Freddie...even bruce himself is huge freddie fan....Bruce doesn't even sing in key on the studio records, and is a horrible live singer........i was listening to Maiden before you were born.....seen them in 85, but i grew up, and realized how much better bands like Queen and Zep are.......
@TrueIronMaidenFan Vocal god?.....lol....he's ok. he was the first singer i loved, but like i said before...i grew up.....you ever hear Bruce sing Bo Rhap?....or Barcelona?....he sings horrible on those songs...do a little research and you'll see how highly Bruce thinks of Freddie mercury....on a whole different level than Bruce (can't sing in key) Dickinson.....
Freddie for sure! His vocal range was one of a kind- not one other person in the world has or will ever have a voice like Queen Mercury. Sure, I'm Queen's #1 fan- but when i close my eyes and listen to his voice and anyone else's, i'll ALWAYS know that Freddie wins.
@15BJS lol no i think i am. :) u have to see my room. they are all i think about all day long. i say goodnight to freddies poster everyday and if u look at my youtube history, i havent watched a video that doesnt have to do with freddie or queen like at all- as far down as it goes! anyone who thinks they're a bigger fan- challenge me! id love to meet up lol :):):)
Freddie Mercury is hands down the best singer and performer of all time. Robert Plant was much better at making groundbreaking studio symphonies of metal. They're both amazing(:
robert was a bluesman where as freddie was more of a soprano in my point of view...well to me no one can even come closer to the feel roberts voice had b4 1975...i think fred has more range but my personal favourite is robert..
As much as I love Zeppelin, I love Queen just for Freddie Mercury alone his vocals are best of the best there is not topping them he can probably sing Zeppelin songs better than Plant I love listening to Metal, Rock, and what have you my favorite band is Iron Maiden my favorite singer is Bruce Dickinson, but there is no denying the fact of what an amazing singer Freddie Mercury was
Freddie had a technically better voice and could sing in falsetto, chest voice, he could belt, and he could sing in that rare soft upper register very easily. Plant had one sound. Distinctive; yes, but eventually boring. Freddie also touched on his emotions better too. So.... FREDDIE!!!
@karpatza Are you fucking retarded? Robert Plant is the SINGER of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is the LEAD GUITARIST who only gives backing vocals for a couple songs. Robert Plant is singing in this video and in every live performance and studio album from Led Zeppelin. Those are facts. You're just wrong.
People, Robert plant reinvented the rock n roll. There wasnt that kind of singing before. Just remind that.
Robert 's voice is REALLY different from fred 's. Imagine fred singing the begining of stairway to heaven. WTH? the song reamins the same, communication breakdown, whole lotta love... well, you understood what i am trying to say.
I believe Robert Plant was not the better singer but he made me feel better than Freddie Mercury could. I know Mercury's range was higher and all that opera stuff, yeah, yeah. Robert Plant had a voice more distinct, one we will never hear again.
I depends. It was a time when Robert got wider range than freddie and then he was the best, then in the 80s freddy got better and plant's voice gone worse and worse. It depend on which time period you consider.
, porque la garganta se va destrozando con el tiempo, que viene a ser lo que le ha pasado. ademas que en los 70' cambio su voz y nunca mas fue la misma ahora ni siquiera puede alcanzar el registro de sus canciones y bueno si freddie hubiese usado ese raspado, su voz hubiese sonado impresionante o_o pero habria terminado como plant Sin voz
freddie mercury cantaba, plant solo rasgaba las voz, a pesar de ser espectacular no tiene una técnica muy depurada ni su rango vocal es muy amplio, no alcanza notas muy altas ni muy bajas, de ahí el falsete... Roger Taylor o Freddie Mercury sí...Robert Plant tiraba a base de garganta pura, con poca técnica. Se puede cantar bien así siempre y cuando te mantengas en ciertos registros y tu carrera no vaya a ser muy larga..
I think they're both awesome and amazingly gifted. But I think that Freddie Mercury is vocally superior, and most of Queen's music (especially their early stuff) trumps that of Zeppelin's. It was experimental, ephemeral, inspiring. Robert's music was always very simple but emotionally punctuating. I like to listen to both bands for different reasons: Queen for their complexity and vocal prowess, and Led Zeppelin for their blues-inspired metal and percussion sound- Bonham was kickass.
Why are you, guys, doing this? What's music for you, a contest?
Why should one be better than another? In my opinion they are so different that you really can't compare them. This is like comparing grapes with tomatoes.
Can you FEEL what they sing? Can they touch your soul? Can they stir your imagination? Well, if both can do that, then they are both so amazing.
Robert doesn't have as near a vocal range as freddie, sure he can hit high, but you really hear him try when he's singing, Freddie can just do it right off the bat, I personally like Freddie more because there wasn't a better showman live like him.
@litledevel15 You are so fuckin kidding me. I think this Mercury Mania has got hold of so many....Freddie firstly did not have a 4 Octave Range. He had a 3.6 octave range, C2-F5. Robert Plant has a bigger range than Freddie, C#2- A5. He could go 2 notes higher, and probably could hit a B5. Plant could go higher in falsetto also. So next time you think about saying that Freddie's vocal range is the greatest of all, think again. Robert's, Axl's, Dickinson's, McCartney's ranges are all bigger.
HAHAHAHA I never once said it was a 4 octave range even though it is! He could hit an F2-E6. lol and axl, a greater range than freddie????? Wow I definitely want the shit you're smoking because it's clearly some dank shit! hahahaha Plant is a better rock singer hands down, but Freddie had a lot more potential and had a way better vocal range than plant. lol quit being so immature about an opinion that doesn't even matter.
@litledevel15 Dude.....first of all, even F2-E6 is not a 4 octave range. One note short. Secondly, that E6 is totally blatant falsetto. Freddie's real range was C2-F5. You see, unlike you I've researched and found a lower note than Freddie's F2. Still, his real range C2-F5. Anything above F5 is falsetto. Axl's range is G1-G5, McCartney's is A1-F5, Dickinson's is B1-F5, and Plant's is C#2-A5. I know a thing or two about vocals, trust me.
@TheRockLover1000 Well...two can play that game. As far as any of these Freddie fanboys are concerned, there's a Mercury F1 that exists. We just have to find it.
@Thetarantinomaniac Not really. I base my assumption on facts. Facts like Axl Rose is a Bass-Baritone, who has as low a voice (Or even lower than) other people who we have seen, some of whom can dive down to even an E1. (Read: Peter Steele and Frank Zappa). Another fact is that he has hit Bb1's multiple times, and his A1's are very strong. (2nd strongest I've heard.) And G1 is very close to an A1.
@TheRockLover1000 Well the point is that if you think you're in a position to assume certain notes as a part of a singer's range even if we haven't heard them, anyone else is in the same position. You say Axl can hit a G1? Who says Mercury can't go lower than C2, then? Or we could just go by what we know, which is that Mercury has C2-F5 and Axl has A1-G5.
@Thetarantinomaniac The fact remains that all the things we know about Axl Rose (Low Baritone, Multiple Spoken Bb1's, strong A1's) point to him having a G1, and nothing by Mercury (Low Tenor, Spoken C2) suggested that he could go lower.
@TheRockLover1000 Spoken C2s suggest being able to go lower to me. It is, after all, harder to speak a note without fry than it is to sing it. Who's to say what sorts of limits were placed on what any of these guys COULD do? There's no telling how far the extent of their ranges that we haven't heard could have stretched. We can only measure the extent of their ranges that we have heard recorded, and in the case of Axl, that happens to be A1-G5. Not G1-G5.
@Thetarantinomaniac "It is, after all, harder to speak a note without fry than it is to sing it." Really? Which is why Peter Steele, Freddie Mercury, and tons of others all have their lowest notes hit in spoken passages/ Interviews, I assume. No. It's far easier to hit low notes in speaking than singing, and I know for a fact that you are the only one on the forum that isn't buying this :P
@TheRockLover1000 It's because rock doesn't call for low singing often, and it's popular to use a lower voice during spoken passages to sound dramatic. When singing, though, you're in control of the notes you go for, so you're more likely to go for low notes out of your comfortable range without fry. When speaking, the voice is inclined to switch to fry around your bottom register. So if you can avoid using fry for those notes without trying, you should be able to sing them when you are trying.
@litledevel15 If you believe I'm doing this to Diss Freddie, you're wrong. I'm just pointing out the facts. If you want, you can ask TheTarantinoManiac, CuriosityRoads, GoodGuitarSolos also. They are my friends and have done quite some research and vocal videos on Youtube, and will tell you the same.
@litledevel15 Axl has a far wider range than Freddie ever had. An overall range of A1-C#7 and a full voice range of A1-G5, solid at both ends. You might prefer Freddie as a singer, but Axl has much more range.
As for Plant, his range in his wasn't that much bigger than Freddie's but he certainly had a vastly superior high range.
@poptart2345 i don't care what axle roses Range was....it's easy to hit high notes sounding like a dying Cat.....he doesn't belong on the same list as Freddie Mercury and robert plant...maybe on a list comparing worst singers of all time?.....

As much as I love Zeppelin, I love Queen just for Freddie Mercury alone his vocals are best of the best there is not topping them he can probably sing Zeppelin songs better than Plant I love listening to Metal, Rock, and what have you my favorite band is Iron Maiden my favorite singer is Bruce Dickinson, but there is no denying the fact of what an amazing singer Freddie Mercury was

Freddie had a technically better voice and could sing in falsetto, chest voice, he could belt, and he could sing in that rare soft upper register very easily. Plant had one sound. Distinctive; yes, but eventually boring. Freddie also touched on his emotions better too. So.... FREDDIE!!!

@karpatza Are you fucking retarded? Robert Plant is the SINGER of Led Zeppelin. Jimmy Page is the LEAD GUITARIST who only gives backing vocals for a couple songs. Robert Plant is singing in this video and in every live performance and studio album from Led Zeppelin. Those are facts. You're just wrong.

People, Robert plant reinvented the rock n roll. There wasnt that kind of singing before. Just remind that.
Robert 's voice is REALLY different from fred 's. Imagine fred singing the begining of stairway to heaven. WTH? the song reamins the same, communication breakdown, whole lotta love... well, you understood what i am trying to say.

I believe Robert Plant was not the better singer but he made me feel better than Freddie Mercury could. I know Mercury's range was higher and all that opera stuff, yeah, yeah. Robert Plant had a voice more distinct, one we will never hear again.

I depends. It was a time when Robert got wider range than freddie and then he was the best, then in the 80s freddy got better and plant's voice gone worse and worse. It depend on which time period you consider.

, porque la garganta se va destrozando con el tiempo, que viene a ser lo que le ha pasado. ademas que en los 70' cambio su voz y nunca mas fue la misma ahora ni siquiera puede alcanzar el registro de sus canciones y bueno si freddie hubiese usado ese raspado, su voz hubiese sonado impresionante o_o pero habria terminado como plant Sin voz

freddie mercury cantaba, plant solo rasgaba las voz, a pesar de ser espectacular no tiene una técnica muy depurada ni su rango vocal es muy amplio, no alcanza notas muy altas ni muy bajas, de ahí el falsete... Roger Taylor o Freddie Mercury sí...Robert Plant tiraba a base de garganta pura, con poca técnica. Se puede cantar bien así siempre y cuando te mantengas en ciertos registros y tu carrera no vaya a ser muy larga..

I think they're both awesome and amazingly gifted. But I think that Freddie Mercury is vocally superior, and most of Queen's music (especially their early stuff) trumps that of Zeppelin's. It was experimental, ephemeral, inspiring. Robert's music was always very simple but emotionally punctuating. I like to listen to both bands for different reasons: Queen for their complexity and vocal prowess, and Led Zeppelin for their blues-inspired metal and percussion sound- Bonham was kickass.

Why are you, guys, doing this? What's music for you, a contest?
Why should one be better than another? In my opinion they are so different that you really can't compare them. This is like comparing grapes with tomatoes.
Can you FEEL what they sing? Can they touch your soul? Can they stir your imagination? Well, if both can do that, then they are both so amazing.

Robert doesn't have as near a vocal range as freddie, sure he can hit high, but you really hear him try when he's singing, Freddie can just do it right off the bat, I personally like Freddie more because there wasn't a better showman live like him.
litledevel15 1 year ago 20
@litledevel15 You are so fuckin kidding me. I think this Mercury Mania has got hold of so many....Freddie firstly did not have a 4 Octave Range. He had a 3.6 octave range, C2-F5. Robert Plant has a bigger range than Freddie, C#2- A5. He could go 2 notes higher, and probably could hit a B5. Plant could go higher in falsetto also. So next time you think about saying that Freddie's vocal range is the greatest of all, think again. Robert's, Axl's, Dickinson's, McCartney's ranges are all bigger.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000
HAHAHAHA I never once said it was a 4 octave range even though it is! He could hit an F2-E6. lol and axl, a greater range than freddie????? Wow I definitely want the shit you're smoking because it's clearly some dank shit! hahahaha Plant is a better rock singer hands down, but Freddie had a lot more potential and had a way better vocal range than plant. lol quit being so immature about an opinion that doesn't even matter.
litledevel15 10 months ago
@litledevel15 Dude.....first of all, even F2-E6 is not a 4 octave range. One note short. Secondly, that E6 is totally blatant falsetto. Freddie's real range was C2-F5. You see, unlike you I've researched and found a lower note than Freddie's F2. Still, his real range C2-F5. Anything above F5 is falsetto. Axl's range is G1-G5, McCartney's is A1-F5, Dickinson's is B1-F5, and Plant's is C#2-A5. I know a thing or two about vocals, trust me.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000 Axl's range is G1-G5, you say? Pray tell, where is this G1 that you speak of?
Thetarantinomaniac 10 months ago
@Thetarantinomaniac We all know that it is definitely out there somewhere. As far as I'm concerned, the G1 exists. We just have to find it.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000 Well...two can play that game. As far as any of these Freddie fanboys are concerned, there's a Mercury F1 that exists. We just have to find it.
Thetarantinomaniac 10 months ago
@Thetarantinomaniac Not really. I base my assumption on facts. Facts like Axl Rose is a Bass-Baritone, who has as low a voice (Or even lower than) other people who we have seen, some of whom can dive down to even an E1. (Read: Peter Steele and Frank Zappa). Another fact is that he has hit Bb1's multiple times, and his A1's are very strong. (2nd strongest I've heard.) And G1 is very close to an A1.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000 Well the point is that if you think you're in a position to assume certain notes as a part of a singer's range even if we haven't heard them, anyone else is in the same position. You say Axl can hit a G1? Who says Mercury can't go lower than C2, then? Or we could just go by what we know, which is that Mercury has C2-F5 and Axl has A1-G5.
Thetarantinomaniac 10 months ago
@Thetarantinomaniac The fact remains that all the things we know about Axl Rose (Low Baritone, Multiple Spoken Bb1's, strong A1's) point to him having a G1, and nothing by Mercury (Low Tenor, Spoken C2) suggested that he could go lower.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000 Spoken C2s suggest being able to go lower to me. It is, after all, harder to speak a note without fry than it is to sing it. Who's to say what sorts of limits were placed on what any of these guys COULD do? There's no telling how far the extent of their ranges that we haven't heard could have stretched. We can only measure the extent of their ranges that we have heard recorded, and in the case of Axl, that happens to be A1-G5. Not G1-G5.
Thetarantinomaniac 10 months ago
@Thetarantinomaniac "It is, after all, harder to speak a note without fry than it is to sing it." Really? Which is why Peter Steele, Freddie Mercury, and tons of others all have their lowest notes hit in spoken passages/ Interviews, I assume. No. It's far easier to hit low notes in speaking than singing, and I know for a fact that you are the only one on the forum that isn't buying this :P
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@TheRockLover1000 It's because rock doesn't call for low singing often, and it's popular to use a lower voice during spoken passages to sound dramatic. When singing, though, you're in control of the notes you go for, so you're more likely to go for low notes out of your comfortable range without fry. When speaking, the voice is inclined to switch to fry around your bottom register. So if you can avoid using fry for those notes without trying, you should be able to sing them when you are trying.
Thetarantinomaniac 10 months ago
@litledevel15 If you believe I'm doing this to Diss Freddie, you're wrong. I'm just pointing out the facts. If you want, you can ask TheTarantinoManiac, CuriosityRoads, GoodGuitarSolos also. They are my friends and have done quite some research and vocal videos on Youtube, and will tell you the same.
TheRockLover1000 10 months ago
@litledevel15 Axl has a far wider range than Freddie ever had. An overall range of A1-C#7 and a full voice range of A1-G5, solid at both ends. You might prefer Freddie as a singer, but Axl has much more range.
As for Plant, his range in his wasn't that much bigger than Freddie's but he certainly had a vastly superior high range.
CuriosityRoads 10 months ago
@CuriosityRoads And we still haven't included Axl's Fry notes. He must go to something like C1 in fry.
