I just had to put this out there to try and give some context to this video. Annie and David knew Freddie really well. This wasn't about artists paying tribute. It was friends paying tribute to someone they lost and loved dearly. That's what that embrace at the end was all about. The song and the meaning behind it was what Freddie was all about. Asking the question to "Give love one more chance."
The one singer who actually sang the original song... I don't know why that stands out to me, I just think it's cool. She did pretty well. She held up her part of things, and yet must have felt, like I think they all did, how far it fell from what would have once been there.
from 2:26 to 2:36 listen to this, and then listen to the original, and u will , if u havent already, realize why Freddie Mercury was the greatest singer of all time
One of the best tributes EVER by two of the most talented people on this planet. A tribute for yet another Beautiful person who's presence was, I am certain, solidly felt during the singing of this song. Absolutely Fucking Beautiful!
Annie Lennox did the biggest disservice to Freddie's art by placating to Bowie as she did on stage. There is blatant evidence (Brian May stated) that the thought 'Under Pressure' should showcase Freddie WAY more than Bowie yet in a TRIBUTE to Freddie and QUEEN Lennox is there stroking Bowie as if oh, please Mr. Bowie, work with me, work with me, seriously? Anne, SHAME ON YOU for not taking the stage like a diva and TROUNCE Bowie like a commoner with talent, that's what Freddie would have done!
3:59 my man Johnny Deacon! i´d love him to do some kind of one night only thing with the boys just to see him playing that bass guitar one more time..
That performance was without any doubt the highlight of the tribute show. What an amazing performance. It still makes me cry every time I see it. Hats off. RIP Freddie. 20 years gone. It's still so sad...
ok, im ready for the hate, but Annie Lennox ruined this! she doesn't know when the scat singing comes in, and when she does, she gets it wrong >_< and why the hell did she shout "Oh yeah!" instead of "Why?" ???? ...Bowie was awesome as ever though...
me gusto este video porque tambien respetaron la voz de david bowie, ya que tambien el canto es ta cancion con freddy mercury, muy buen video gracias y que buena calidad
I thought it was an awsome concert. The costume that Annie was wearing reflected back on the "character" of the band and how Freddie use to dress in some of the album covers. I give it two thumbs up to both of them! GO ANNIE AND DAVID!^_^
@killwill83 if annie lennox had an awful vocal, who have a great voice in this world? she is one of the most powerful femal singer in the world. Before post something stupid like this, think about what you're writing. You can tell me that she isn't dressed pretty well, but not she had a awful voice. For judge her you should be at least Montserrat Caballet.
@killwill83 the point of a tribute concert is not that artists should be as good as, or better than the one they want to honor! the point is that they HONOR that person as best they can. I think personally that this was the wrong song for Lennox to sing, and that she dressed up like the lady from "breakthru" could be a little more discreet. but she did as best as she could and it's not meant that we should compare her to Freddie Mercury.
I know this is a tribute an' all, but seriously Lennox... Baaaad song for you.. And drop the costume and the make up.. Not the right occasion in my opinion.. Bowie nailed it though!
@Potts132 I'd say he would want people to be serious, yes, and where did I say they should be sad exactly? But I DO think there should be shown respect. And prancing around in that costume isn't much respect.. Makes it look like she's there to show her self off. But hey, everyone has an opinion, dosen't mean we have to agree!
i think annie dressing up wasn't very appropriate for the occasion. It kind of overshadowed the reason everyone was there, to honor a great artist and performer, not to look at your stupid outfit and make up.
Queen, David Bowie, Annie Lennox--- anyone else amazed by the brilliance of these world renowned artists on one stage? RIP Freddie, the best we had to offer.
There is a terror of KNOWING what this world is about. This is OUR last dance! Give ourselves one LAST chance. Why can't we give LOVE one last chance?! People SHOULD stop being so BLIND!!!! LOVE TODAY.....I KNOW I WILL:)
I've always been easily moved by this song, but this performance is truly emotional. In the last verse, they're desperately clinging together, trying to hold together against the outrageous pressure of the world... great stage interpretation by Lennox.
hahaha I wouldn't want to kiss her either, David.
