Jeff Scott Soto - The Show Must Go On

[Channel450]

16 people dont know shit

[efterblivion]

great performance but whats with the ugly chick?

[Mohsenaryan]

10/10

[felikito]

The guitar player is great!!!

[darcybootoo]

wow

[ieltxumetal]

Soto is GOD. That's all

[vladismael141088]

jejeje lo mejor del video fue la vieja que nunca se bajo jejejejeje

[Sha4x4]

look at that woman, what a douche!!

[MissVi10]

It's the greatest cover of this song )))) His vocal is very very good!)) but this woman on stage is horrible(( It's a pity that he can't be instead of Paul Rodgers with Queen((((

[Chazorvigg]

Damn, he should never have taken that woman on stage. Now she'll stay there forever.

[nausso]

That guy just knows how to sing. What a talent.

[piranhablues1]

@whaddeva agreed. Freddie's will always be the best, but since he's no longer with us to perform as brilliantly as he did, it's up for people like Jeff to carry the torch. I can attest for one who has seen him live, he is a beyond excellent performer. Freddie would indeed approve, and Journey WERE FOOLS to give this guy up for a cheap Steve Perry knock off from a COVER BAND

[piranhablues1]

10 people missed the "like" button because they are jealous of his sexiness

[TheAleksMichel]

that girl is soooooooo fucking ennoying

[mhp1960000]

Great performance - but will somebody get THAT woman off the stage!!!

[TheNodel]

forse molti non capiranno il commento ma....sta minkia se la canta bene!!!!!!!eccellente davvero

[martinblue1975]

La vieja malogro el dvd en la mejor cancion,loca de mierda

[laequis]

Queen + Jss

[Juanchojevy]

Happy B-Day Jeff !!

[Tajmahar]

Best cover ever!

[georgelopezlover1]

[masterpatric07]

SOTTO IS VERY MAGICAL SINGER I HAVE ALL HIS RECORDINGS WITH PELL, MALMSTEEM,TAKARA HUMAN CLAY BUT I LOVE HIM WHEN HE SING METAL EVEN WHEN I KNOW HE LOVES HARD ROCK AND HIS GOAL WILL BE TO SING IN VAN HALLEN.eddie what are you waiting for.....?

[trooper1130]

Great concert !!! I don't get why Queen didn't asked Jeff to join them instead of Paul rogers , it makes no sence to me !

[13LetterAlphabet]

whos the random lady?

[dniworrom]

The only Man on Earth who has the right to sing Queen songs....nobody else can/could

[jssfan1]

@dniworrom I agree...the only man that can!

[SpiritMolecule1]

[6CHRIS6ROWE6]

Check out Freddie Nelson Queen Medley!!!!!

[ste4757]

brill this man can sing .love his voice amazing to here this .well done.

[dallywhacker]

nice fuck up in the second verse on the lyrics :)

[freddie46]

what fuckup u talkin' about? :)

[dallywhacker]

at 1:37 he sings:

"Does anybody want to take it anymore..."

That should be

"Does anybody know what we are living for?"

Other than that, great performance :)

[03456]

Idiot you can't make the same lyrics in a cover....

The contract says you must change some part of the lyrics and or music

[Dealman15]

Actually, you're wrong. The correct lyrics are "Does anybody want to take it anymore?".

@03456: You're also wrong, performing covers don't require you to change anything.

HOWEVER; If you're to release it as your own(To make profit out of it) you'll need to change something.

Otherwise, some of the profit(not sure 'bout the percentage.) made must be sent to the author of that song.

[kaleluk31]

actually it doesn't matter what part you change, if your covering another authors song you will pay some unless you have the express permission of the stakeholders

BTW this guy is very good and it can still be a cover and make it his own

You dont have to change anything but most performers will do it a little different, they would do it there way, which can sometimes breath new life in to a classic brilliant tune

[dublivo]

today (18.08.2009) Jeff is performing in Burgas, Bulgaria

[streiken]

great voice maby to hard for fredi's songs but it's ok he is very very good!!

[classicrockrockz]

BTW, was this concert released on dvd or do I need to download it?

[lexilyn]

Sure it's released on DVD. The DVD is called "JSS Live At The Queen Convention 2003". Just click the first link below my profile name and picture.

[classicrockrockz]

Ok, thank you

[thegamz1]

soto has the greatest voice ever!!

[classicrockrockz]

Freddie is better ;)

[Kerjo123]

thegamz1: He sure does, love that voice!

[escualkiera]

[TheMiracle91]

haha I can image singing this live. When i would hear the string esemble intro I would think to myself; " Im fucked" haha. He does this song justice

[syos91]

[jorrigar]

great, i´m a fan of queen forever, but you are a genius, congratulations.

[Kerjo123]

jorrigar: am a queen fan too, but JSS does a great job too.

[johan0liebheart]

Great Voice

[MikkKatillaz]

JSS... just have to love him!!!

[Kerjo123]

mikkkatillaz: I agree, just gotta love him...

[CINGO25]

[autosenser]

[manudanann]

DIOS MIO QUE BIZARRO LA GORDA BAILANDO AHI!!! parecia una pelicula de tim burton que tiene esas cosas feas sin sentido para crear una atmósfera extraña!!!

[laequis]

encima bailando a DESTIEMPO!!!!

donde estan sus grouppies???

[syltyler]

Ai,que lindo ! Eu fui !

[Treaty4]

Lexlyn: Thanks for explaining. Very kind of you.

[Treaty4]

What has gone wrong with the audio in this video?

[lexilyn]

It happened with all all my videos after Youtube introduced it's 'good' and 'normal' quality system?! The ones I've uploaded since then are OK.

I asked them to fix this or at least give me an explanation but they never replied.

Sorry for this.

[masterpatric07]

@lexilyn IT IS HAPPENING CAUSE YOU USE YOUTUBE TO UPLOAD IT.USE OTHER PROGRAMM, LIKE IMOVIE.

[lexilyn]

@masterpatric07 It used to be good though. Anyway, as a Mac-fan, I will definitely use Apple software to upload my movies in the future. The new Quicktime (in OS 10.7 - Lion) can cut and upload straight to Youtube, Vimeo, Flickr and Facebook, etc. I guess iMovie can do the same.

All the best.

[SUPERCALIFANO]

He has a great voice, dark and raspy like John Corabi. They have similar hair too! Ih ih

[Kerjo123]

how cruel - what a thing to say about somebody's mom!!

[journeysuperstar81]

Jeff would be a better front man than Paul Rodgers.  Jeff sings it with soul!

[harrykoul]

Although FREDDY was GOD and NOONE CAN BE like him , Jeff is also brilliant...Nice performance

[wuangie99]

OMG!!!OMG!!!LMAO!!!! That woman dancing is HILARIOUS!! Jeff is such a personable and kind person but I know that if he noticed ANY of that he had to be like "WTF?" I can't stop laughing! Lady, whoever u r..if u read this PLEASE tell me you were drunk, lol

[Kerjo123]

wuangie99: I'm sure Jeff noticed lol, I kind of think that's why he stayed away after the first minute or so.

[wuangie99]

Kerjo123...i swear I cannot NOT laugh every time i watch this! She makes me leary to drink when I go out, lol

[Kerjo123]

wuangie99: I know, I can't help but laugh too. She'd make anyone leary to drink, lol.

[Prince0fThieves]

Actually, I've heard it's his mother. Not that it makes it any less hilarious, though :D

[djeikop]

Seriously???!! Haha, that would make it even MORE hilarious!!! Hah, I would be embarassed if my mom started dancing around like that. None the less, good video :D

[Kerjo123]

princeofthieves: His mom huh? Just makes the video even better, funnier too.

[wuangie99]

Kerjo123, so that's my mother-in-law, huh? LOL! Everyone should know that's not his mother! I can not stop laughing FOR REAL now! He comes from a musical family and that poor woman hasn't an ounce of rhythm in that entire flailing body of hers, lol.

[Kerjo123]

wuangie: I had just heard it was his mom - not sure if it is or not, lol. You're right, she really has no sense of rythym with all that flailing, lol.

[wuangie99]

Now don't put that woman off as Mrs. Soto, LMAO! And it would make it even more funny! but uh-uh...that ain't her.

[Treaty4]

supertif: Don't you wish it were you instead of her? Jealous much are you?

[Kerjo123]

treaty4: YES wish it were me instead of her, lol.

[supertif]

Wow he's damn good ! Like in the Malmsteen years!

The bitch is so ridiculous, looks like a retard...

[Treaty4]

xcob: She made me laugh too. I enjoyed watching her have fun. Jeff is alright with me.

[xCobhcxx]

hahaha the girl dancin

[goldwizard]

He is FUCKING GOOD!

but paul rodgers is not bad at all, listen to him singing "hammer to fall" in the return of the champions. he just kick asses!

[fabvon]

nice bg vocals too!

[JavichuSpain]

jeff scott soto i better than paul rodgers

[MsMercury]

Paul is a good singer but just not the voice for Queen. Plus Jeff is 10 times the showman Paul is.

[giribuola]

yes j.s.s

no paul rogers

[ofssk]

To you morons below. Jeff isnt trying to replce Freddy hes merely singing a tribute and doing it bloody well I might add so just appreciate it for what it is.

[carcass1985]

y esa pinchi zorra de cagada por que no la bajaron del greñero puta de mierda!!!

[CamelotShadow]

I can see the butterfly

In all its proud colors

Your voice soars higher

Freeing this heart from darkness

The drums beating in your mind

Its rhythm moving your body across time

The catapillar at the brink of becoming the butterfly

Each second this heart wished you free of your confine

til at last you spread your wings & took to the sky.

[flavitoandresito]

Excelente voz!!!

jajajaj la mina quedó como loka saltando por todos lados :P

[CINGO25]

He´s a great poser with a great voice.

Good version of T.S.M.G.O.!!

[Cityfish1234]

poor guy they fired him from journey and know hes singing queen songs brilliantly you rock dude!!!!!

[Kerjo123]

cityfish1234:  poor guy indeed and JSS is brilliant.

[petar870602]

you know what i tell all the people that make critic comments in all these videos....i tell them dont watch it when you dont like it...thats all...i wont even look at comments anymore i am too tired of stupid ass idiots

[Kerjo123]

petar: I agree, if you don't like it - don't watch it.

[nizzt]

Jeff is a really talented performer, and I like to hear his interpretations of Queen's music. If you view it as anything other than a tribute to a legend, you are missing the point! Freddie is irreplaceable.

[Treaty4]

Jeff and Freddie are two different types of singers, both very good. Freddie although gone, will not be forgotten. Mercury was a great singer who sang effortlessly. Even when he was nearing death, his voice was still very good. Jeff is an excellent vocalist in his own right. He obviously admired Queen for he is singing one of their songs. Great song.

[bgianne]

jeff is a very very good singer, an excelent singer. andd even freddie could not to sing his own songs live with the perfection ofthe studio records. sorry for my bad english...

[francesana]

freddie live is better than in studio....where's your brain?

[bgianne]

OK.i'm sorry for your bad education. freddie is obviously better than jeff. better no, more important and unique! But "Freddie live is better than in studio"... is this a joke , and i'm wondering who do you think you are and what do you know about music to tell everybody in this blog who is right and who is wrong.

[francesana]

i cant explain how much i know about music, but i study this, and i know a lot.

[johnmeyeeer]

okey...let see... who of you assholes think that jeff is a better singer then Freddie mercury?

well, you can fuck off..because freddie is an amazing singer and you have to admit that freddie is better then jeff.

But I also think that jeff has a great voice! or else I would not be listening to his songs. Oh, I almost forgot.

Francesana, kiss my ass. You don't know anything about freddie if you think he can't take all the high notes in this song.

[francesana]

you're wrong....i say that freddie can sing this music better than anyone of this world...what i said was: Jeff is a good singer, but he just CAN'T sing 'the show must go on', or anything that freddie sings.

The asshole who said that jeff is better was Doika86..you showld ask this guy to kiss your ass.

[johnmeyeeer]

okey... then i'm sorry. I got you all wrong :/

are we cool?

[francesana]

that's ok

[cagewarrior123]

bro jeff scott soto is a very talented singer but i gotta agree with you, theres only one freddie mercury and theres nobody who can replace him i dont care how good that singer sounds, rest in peace freddie we miss you

[redwinerock]

woooow

[markelock]

great version, good to see but please, no comparison at all, and perhaps there shouldn't be.

[francesana]

what????????? freddie could never do that??? you're stupid. c'mon man, this guy is a good singer, but he just CAN'T sing the show must go on, or anything that freddie sings. ''freddie could never do that'' is the most fucking stupid thing that i ever 'heard'.

[Doika86]

man how can you say he doesn't hit the high notes, listen at 03:42! believe me, freddie could never do that live

[francesana]

what????????? freddie could never do that??? you're stupid. c'mon man, this guy is a good singer, but he just CAN'T sing the show must go on, or anything that freddie sings. ''freddie could never do that'' is the most fucking stupid thing that i ever 'heard'.

[Doika86]

yeah because you can't face the truth, like most freddie fans, they will never admit there's someone better than him. i didn't say freddie can't say TSMGO, i said he could never sing all those high notes LIVE. Did you ever hear him singing live? he barely and rarely hit the high notes even in easier songs than this one. After a while his voice started to become weak and scratchy. All this being said, i'm a great freddies fan and reckon he was a HUGE talent, but man, he lacked the technique

[francesana]

yes, i did hear him singind live, and he can sing allllll the notes, c'mon, you don't know nothing about notes and music, i can see that, you just don't know what you're saying.

[Doika86]

yeah because you heard him singing show must go on live. No, he never sang that song but in studio. But fact is, i have never heard him reaching more than a C5 in a live show. Jeff here reaches a C#5 more than once so easily. Anyway if you care, i've been playin piano and electric guitar for years.

[Doika86]

however, check out one of the old live videos of scott soto with malmsteen. you'll be surprised

[francesana]

at 3:42 is a shit...freddie could never do that because freddie is GOOD, and a good singer don't sing this way, 'cause good singers sing well.

[flgby1]

It's not an easy song by any stretch. It's not performed here in the written key either, appears to have been transposed down. I will give him credit though, he doesn't attempt to go for some of the "Freddy Murcury high notes" at several points through the song because he realizes thye just won't work. His voice is clearly worn out (very raspy) during the song, but I applaud the effort!

[whiplashell]

the singer to do covers =]

[Treaty4]

Jeff is fun. He is also kind to all of his fans. People forget that he is older than he looks. His older fans have been part of his music career for some time. I love to see people having fun-you go lady. And without a doubt, Jeff is one of the best vocalist in rock music. I wish it would have been me pulled onto the stage. Yowzer!!

[Krockyrat]

the man compliments Queen.........don't mistake it!

he's got the hottest voice in rock!

[SpaceAudio]

wow! nicely done.

alone by heart, please.

[SlayermanGR]

Take that stupid white dressed bitch off the stage NOW!!!!!!

[kingdiamond69]

I have a funny story about Jeff when he was touring with Malmsteen on the marching out tour in Detroit U.S.A we were in the bathroom after the show Jeff was standing at a urinal my buddy ran up to him all drunked up and grabbed Jeffs free hand and stated shaking him screaming im a lead singer too Soto was pissing all over the place on the wall floor etc lol it was hilarious !

[JarpsHellRider]

4 stars because i love Jeff and his voice.

not 5 because he don't show he's trully voice at 2:03

[espetecla]

8 points out 10. great voice, notice that this is the last track of a restless concert.

Good job Jeff, this song wasn't made for your voice but you defend it very very well

[cagewarrior123]

bro i give this a 10, this song was made for him, he hit every note perfectly and he sounded amazing especially singing it live

[cagewarrior123]

bro i give this a 10, this song was made for him, he hit every note perfectly and he sounded amazing especially singing it live

[frantiseksvatos]

He looks like Slash! :) Imagine band with Slash and Jeff

[rosecoloredglasses66]

Man, he is sooooooooo hot!! :O

[AKINROLL]

great voice... also he is not gay...

[cagewarrior123]

amazing voice, im sorry he left journey and no hes not gay, but freddie of course has amazing voice also, is very gay lol.

[cagewarrior123]

Jeff has a amazing voice that just blows you away.

[dprojekt666]

wayy better than freddie...And he's not gay like him.

[Gynecologist]

I heard you are tho.  ....zing

[agitatedbells]

jeff is great. its impossible to be better than mercury though. this does make fitting tribute to it though.

[SumoDave]

This is the rendition i've heard besides Freddie that gave me that electricity that Freddie provided

[joeymcnew]

Damn Sounds just like Freddie! Oh Shit!

[ramos1berto]

he sounds good, but runaway

from higger notes

[djeikop]

He kinda sounds a bit like Freddy too :)

Not much, but you know

[djeikop]

Who the fuck is the bitch up on stage????!!!

Get off there and leave Jeff alone!!!

[loydirommet]

he took her up your dork

[djeikop]

But why did she have to start dancing like a monkey and do other retarded things through the entire song?!

[loydirommet]

because ,,,,, hehe, she looks like a fucking bi...... sorry i cald you a dork

[djeikop]

haha, no prob man xP

[rjmajor323]

PCP, LSD, Crack....the list goes on

[djeikop]

Haha xP

Well, atleast the show goes on as well :D

[padocoris]

thanks where yuo from?

[adarov]

he could have been much better with queen rather then paul rodgers..

[metalwrestlingfann]

damn, he's gotta be the best singer i've ever heard

[zozozozozozozozozo]

next to dickinson, a. rose and geoff tate ;-)

[corafb]

jeffy is the best of the world!!!

[cafehthebest123]

no man,Freddie for ever!Nobody.........i sad NOBODY can  do it with HE ,TRUE QUEEN FOR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRFreddie,May,Taylor and Deacon

[elmegapeluco]

Ok, he has a great voice, and it's a good version. But he can't stole him his feeling and although the voice in some moments sound pretty similar, if you listen to the original now, you will see that Freedy Mercury's voice is more sweet.

[tikkigod011]

I saw him last year with Journy, I prefer Perry and the second singer over him but still sang a good show

[ruthmorozco]

I don't give much time to his vocal cords yelling instead of singing like this.
