Robbie Williams - We are the champions

[ByKashmira]

I can't even listen to this, I've had to hit the pause button.

You're totally right Deacy

[WaMakeUp]

I love Queen. I quite like Robbie Williams.

I find it funny how Joh Deacon says he's ruined it... and then goes to perform "We will rock you" with Five.

The word you're looking for is "Touche" :P

[crazycityfanatic]

go robbie x he not taking off queen x he has made it his own as only only he can do x

[biosensacion]

ROBBIE SE VE TAN SEXY QUE HOMBRE TAN MAS GUAPO Y GRAN INTERPRETACION =)

[tivivibi]

Robbie is a versatile singer, but should not even try to imitate the great Freddie - even the act with the microphone is embarassing. Apart from that 'we are the champions' is a very personal song.

[geoborgreece]

1.Freddie is much better vocaly than RW

2.Robbie Williams is unique as an entertainer,cause no one has such a voice.what do i mean?look all singers,for example can you see BIG difference in the singing of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion?I think that each one can cover easily each others songs.But what makes RW unique is that NOONE can sing angels,feel and entertain like he does on let me entertain you.so respect him for what he offers,and respect his try to cover a different artist.

[rockandstroll]

What does he say at 1:54 ? it sounds like he says "spent all my life suckin on a goats nut"

[TheMS1973]

Good, OK.. Nothing compares to the original one

[tuta7266]

Робби испортил песню!!! Никто лучше Фредди Меркьюри не споет ни эту песню ни какую-либо другую. Фредди не просто пел, он вживался в песню, срастался с ней воедино! Джон Дикон был прав когда говорил, что участники «Queen» (Браян Мей и Роджер Тейлор) погубили эту песню. Никто не может сравниться с Фредди в исполнении его хитов! No Queen without Freddie!!!

[KriegDerSterne77]

Bad Cover!

[Famaroje]

hoy fue un excelente dia, con excelentes resultados, hasta me sorprendo de lo bueno que soy, ahh ¡¡¡ perdon !!! un angelito me ayudo a triunfar el dia de hoy......... Simplemente Gracias..........

[Carlos19xd3]

I like this cover a lot, and i am a true Queen fan. Freddie Mercury is the best, but this guy pulled it off awesomely

[jedialejandro]

muy buena

[NymphoAngel22]

it didn't need to be covered I believe if it aint broke don't fix it and Freddie never broke nothing...but Robbie did a good job IMO still not a patch on Freddie its true but he's his own performer and not a Tribute act, but one thing they have in common is something really rare today is they entertain and they sound just as good live I'm not comparing them before any Robbie haters attack me, but its something I always see/seen in them both and something you don't get from singers much nowadays

[NymphoAngel22]

it didn't need to be covered I believe if it aint broke don't fix it and Freddie never broke nothing...but Robbie did a good job IMO still not a patch on Freddie its true but one thing they have in common is something really rare today is they entertain and they sound just as good live I'm not comparing them before any Robbie haters attack me, but its something I always see/seen in them both and something not many people see these days in todays music

[biosensacion]

Robbie se ve tan sexy y tan guapo en este video... lo am0...=)

[RainDropsDanii]

0:57

[MasterFelipex123]

Thumbs up if this song is better than Justin Gayber...

[GuitarWholesale]

@MasterFelipex123

Not sure about it, both singers are gays

[MsTHfreak]

Freddie was singing...he's shouting!!!!

[V1sok4]

are you people fucking retarted or what,THIS IS A FUCKING COVER NOT A WANNA BE FREDDIE MERCURY !! get that into your thick brains morons. sorry for this kind of a comment but i just can't believe that people can be this stupid.

he did this very well,a lot of respect to freddie and the band.

[margiepuddngpie]

@V1sok4 Considering you're actually sticking up for this shit fest, I'd have to say the only moron is you.

[V1sok4]

@margiepuddngpie first of all,by my taste and in general this is a good cover. i don't understand why do you come here waste your precious time on commenting on something you don't like ? makes sense,doesn't it ?

can't believe that there still are so many primitive people on this planet. so many years of excistence and still we can't be decent enough to NOT make a damn hate comment.

[margiepuddngpie]

@V1sok4 It's a bag of rubbish, and you have really piss poor taste if you think otherwise. I know you're trying super hard to look intelligent, but you're just failing. Maybe try harder next time?

[V1sok4]

@margiepuddngpie well think what you wish brother,i respect that

i don't have the urge to look itelligent on the internet,and still if i had that urge,its still better than your urge to hate and bash this cover,as i said before,for a person who doesn't like this cover you're wasting a lot of time here :P think about that and also have some respect and don't be a brainless prick :) i mean you well thats all

[margiepuddngpie]

@V1sok4 That's one long run on sentence.

[V1sok4]

@margiepuddngpie yeah,a real big one,isn't it ?

[GuitarWholesale]

@V1sok4

Cover or not, a big artist needs to make a right tribute, Robbie Williams isn't an amateur Youtube user, he failed big time.

[Sparberette]

Deaky said it best...he destroyed this...and not in a good way...Robbie you ain't Freddie so stop trying!!

[berryloops]

I think he did this with so much respect! He did a cover, not another version, he just did a tribute to one of the biggest singers and showmen EVER, only another big showman could have done this.... and that makes this song a great tribute... that's what i think...

[estheruca1976]

cualquiera que cante esta canción y no sea freddie la va a arruinar. freddie dejó el liston tan alto que nadie lo va a cruzar nunca y menos con SU CANCIÓN.

lleva razón jhon Deacon

[IssaDiazz]

this song sucks! the original was so better. that song was the best ever. he is just not freddie mercury.

[Ps3FifaGamers]

SHIT!!! Freddie Mercury <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[MARTINUSOO7]

fucking shit ...... It is one of the greatest songs ever written but I think U ruined it

[fdaprz85]

i hate that people don't like this cover just because they believe that robbie williams wanted to feel like or copy Freddie Mercury. That's just bullshit. It's a cover, that's it. Robbie williams has his own style of music and just wanted to sing this song because he likes it (and what a great job he did). He didn't intend to "replace" Freddy. that's just stupid.

[Crazyneon79]

@fdaprz85 If anyone could come close to Freddie Mercury as far as voice matching it would have to be Robbie Williams. He did do an amazing job on the cover of this song though.

[kahuna3901]

"It is one of the greatest songs ever written but I think they've ruined it". "I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury. Freddie can never be replaced – and certainly not by him" john deacon bassist of queen

[peluhh]

this is a piece of shit in compared to the original one

[Sephirotho]

@robiewilliana que imbecil eres tienes el oido musical en el culo

[acousticeric1]

I agree with John Deacon...."They ruined it"

[Numb92]

@acousticeric1 I love Queen, but if John Deacon really said that it makes him an arrogant dick.

[inspiration4him1]

@Numb92 He did really say it

[Sannhetensprofet]

@Numb92 John Deacon said it. And i agree a 100% with him. He was mainly annoyed by May and Taylors (from Queen) involvement. From John's point of view => No one can replace Freddie Mercury, not even Robbie Williams.

[acousticeric1]

@Numb92 He may be arrogant, but he is right. Nobody had a right to evben sing this song after Freddie passed. It was HIS song and only could deliver it the way that it was meant to be.

[bgsgbja]

@acousticeric1 Don't you know what said about Green day's cover

[AWOLSTONED247]

Freddie had more talent in his fingernail clippings than Robbie Williams will ever have!

[aiitoor15]

como se llama la pelicula que sale en el video?

[BermanTV]

just propagandaa!!!! fuck u robbie you are a piece of shit you are not freddy ,he ,well he was the best one!!!

[skinnyernie]

RW voice is weak and airy in most parts then he screeches the high notes. totally forgettable performance.

[AnnieLoveMir]

Love Him, Good Singer

[robiewilliana]

como pueden hablar asi, tira de zonzos, con esta cancion RW no trata de imitar a nadie.... él tiene su propio estilo como deja muy en claro en este video y si lo cantó fue pq era parte de la pelicula "corazón de cabaellero" y de paso como un tributo a Mercury, no pq trate de imitarlo!! ademas donde tanto les encabrona pues debe ser q se dan cuenta q es mucho mejor que el original, son 2 tipos completamente diferentes, Mercury tuvo un mala cabeza y ya sabemos como termino...RW es el mejor!!!

[veleskim]

did brian may play that solo? anyways, it's a good one, it fits in the song just fine. such a shame the original did not feature guitar solo...

[frami9750]

youtube.com/watch?v=51dx0Bn0wg­c&feature=player_embedded The best cover of robbie williams (sorry the bad english).

[Musicmate93]

He has no fucking original talent, He covers other people's material. His own group Take That was shite anyways. He tried to be a big boy like The Gallaghers, but he'll never be more than crummy pop star.

[bobcooper31]

@Musicmate93 Robbie isn't as good as Freddie but he has made a heap of money out of music which is more than you are ever likely to do. Post your own video & show us that your more than a big mouth.

[Musicmate93]

@bobcooper31 I'm not saying that he hasn't made a heap of money, but I think that e's rubbish, even the gallaghers think that. oh and I have videos on my page.

[KardinalGirl]

No one can replace Freddies voice, but this is like fine. Not that good and not that bad.

[ericksagoga]

fedi mercuri ade estar desepcionado

[rijeka8]

RW is not trying to be better then Mercury, because no one can top Mercury's voice, but Williams proves that he can sing and gives a great tribute to work of Mercury and Queen!

[rosser1187]

robbies voice is absolutely astonishing and this is a great cover. but know one can touch the original and freddie

[Campelo83]

meu coraçao esta com ELES amooooooo

[machvikomachviko100]

greate solo I like that



[ROKFOREVER1]

Its better than the green day version....

[sebas4352]

como dijo deacon robie no es freedie mercury

[BermanTV]

i mean robbie williams ad freddy mercury were two diferent kind of world......why do u do that if that would be david bowie i would say a tribute but somethings shouldn't be there.....it s like miley cyrus singing smell like teen spirit........two different kind of world

[KAtYlOvEsRiChIe]

I like this version better than the original one ... ^^

[Rvgrungeman]

@KAtYlOvEsRiChIe you've obviously not heard the original properly.. lol :P

[KAtYlOvEsRiChIe]

@Rvgrungeman oh yes I did but it's a matter of taste. I know both versions and I like Robbie's better - like I already said.

[spykp]

totally wannabe lol.

[leoqaz003]

John deacon is telling the truth.He is a sober, sensible musician. Believe him

[kimmason4213]

i like it I especially love this version. Admittedly he is not Freddi Mercury. I also like George Michael singing Dont let the sun go down on me. I loved Queen and they performed their songs so well. .. But, the songs are fantastic, and they can be recreated very well by other performers .. maybe even better!!

[kimmason4213]

i like it 

[eduardoroj1]

BEST SONG....WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....BARCA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2011

[beckys757]

I know he didn't really do the song justice but he is damn sexy, in my opinion.

[JustARandomGuy95]

This version is awesome, but the thing is... The real deal is super-uber-amazing, so in comparison... Sorry Robbie, Freddie puts his heart and voice into singing this song, this time you're not a champion :D

[D61664]

@ robbiepolaco - i respect what you said but the truth is that its all about making money Robbie doesn't want to pay any tribute....that's a fact

[redhead6497]

i think this is amazing!!!! + i luv the armour!! =D

[redhead6497]

i think this is amazing!!!!

[Nighthawkx15]

sad that Freddy has to be imitated, He needs no imitation becasue he was the best ever Robby Williams the shit on his shoes

[kiikat]

@Nighthawkx15 How is it "SAD" ? It's not an imitation. It's a COVER. A TRIBUTE. RW isn't claiming to be better than Freddie. No need to insult RW for covering a classic by an artist he admired just as much as you do (despite the hateful ignorant ppl who are sure to jump to conclusions, get over-sensitive, and defend someone who doesn't need defending in the first place). RW can't just crawl into a cave & hide & never do anything ever again just cuz there's a chance it may be controversial.

[NymphoAngel22]

@kiikat couldn't agree more if Freddy did that Queen wouldv'e ended up being some mediocre band instead

[TheJackinder]

@Nighthawkx15 its not an imitation! what fuck is wrong with people saying that!!! he sung it for a movie..its called a "cover vision" shit for brains

[smoddkRLM]

This is an amazing tribute to Freddie Mercury. I can't think of anyone who could sing a tribute to a complex song as well as this. For all the haters out their, he who can do better, let him sing the first note.

[mrbattlefieldhero100]

Freddie is dead.. forget him

[CamusDesings]

@mrbattlefieldhero100 Me and you will be dead one day, but believe me, the world will never forget Freddie Mercury, as other greatest musicians that passed away.

[mrbattlefieldhero100]

@CamusDesings that`s not a reason to stick in the past

[CamusDesings]

@mrbattlefieldhero100 Oh god...

[MultiCesareduardo]

fredie mercury rest in peace

[dragonball3166]

this is myy favroite movie in knights time

[patriciapignoise]

los mejoooooreeeeeeees !! eSe RoBbIeEe oOeEEe!!! LOL XD JAJAJAJ

[joshuaprss1]

There is no who is better that is out of the question ... Freddie Mercury of course had way better vocals I'm not saying this guy is not a good singer but just leave queen songs alone =(

[ammyindian]

MTV doesnt seems to know that its a Queen song

[Erictheeviltwin]

A KNIGHTS TALE. <3.

[SykesG93]

WTH has he done to this song :'(

[fishandfestival]

I thought Robbie did an great job with this song...Freddie Mercury doesn't own this song...Any song can be sung by any singer...Robbie and Freddie did the song justice...As to which of them did it better, that's hard to determine, because Robbie's die-hard fans will say Robbie did a better job while Freddie's die-hard fans will say he did a better job...To determine who did a better rendition, persons who aren't fans of either Freddie or Robbie would have to vote or give their opinion on that.

[YoO161]

its from queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xgoxdiexxx]

NO..

[sj0erd502]

This is kinda worse.

[wahiditsme]

@sj0erd502 well said

[keefercfer]

good cover version. nice tribute. you can tell that williams was influenced by freddie and that he's a real fan of queen. just accept this version as a nice offering from a mere mortal to one of the greatest gifts modern music has ever known. john deacon may not approve and that's his right. the other guys do and i think freddie would, too. those who say it sucks and that they hate it, i really doubt you could do it any better. go on and post it. i bet it sucks harder and longer.

[NymphoAngel22]

@keefercfer what a way with words couldn't agree more!

[peoplecallmedog]

this is complete trash. John Deacon is very correct. Freddie Mercury cannot be replaced. Not in out lifetimes. one again, complete trash.

[kilerowski1]

Ładnie.Very nice

[marcelka191]

queen is 10 000 times better

[Klopp2010]

very bad

[giz02]

There is only one version of this song... this isn't it.

[GoldenZapstar]

Amazing song sung by a legendary performer, and a great cover by another talented singer! All that there is to know

[karenhocking]

OMG! I cannot believe some of comments written here!!! MAN, you people SUCK!!!

It was the first time I had seen or heard that by Robbie and I tell you this honestly, I was well impressed! Thought it was Amazing! I loved it! doesn't mean I love the original any less- It means that Robbie did a Fantastic cover, he nailed it! If you had asked me before hand, I would have said that no-one could ever compare to the original, but you know what?I think Freddie would be pleased as punch with that,I am!

[jarldagr]

@karenhocking I am sorry but I like this version too and since the remaining members of queen approved who else really has right to bitch lol.

[karenhocking]

@jarldagr I couldn't agree more! :D

[NymphoAngel22]

@karenhocking me too...well said

[speedbuggy]

I just saw this video & heard this version of the song the other day & thought it was Freddie for a minute until I looked at the television. Robbie did a good job, I think.

[mercuryforeva]

What a failed attempt. Awful voice.

[draw4kicks]

I agree with John Deacon, this verion isn't great, it's way our of his range... Not quite sure what he was trying to achieve but they did lose easily the greatest bass player in music history, but hey, that's my opinion, don't get angry about it...

[and1smax]

No man.. that's silly, stop it, i beg you..

[redmond20042008]

Meni se svidja kako Robi peva Fredijevu pesmu.

A kakve oci ima <3 to je posebna prica.

I luv Robbie.

[35sparhawk35]

Freddie Mercury & Heath Ledger both R.I.P.

[31gracia]

te amo Robbie (L)

[TheKachoww]

the best ever!!!

[TheKachoww]

the best ever

[kitt867]

robbie's vocals are great!! remember how he sang Franks my way

[HECKTITOR]

FREDDIE ES UNICO PERO EL MUCHACHO ESTUVO BIEN! NO HAY Q SER RESENTIDOS.. VIDA POR SIEMPRE AL ROCK!

[Danielrevell9]

this verson rocks but there both good in my book but freddy's verson is just better!!!!!!!

[leerider52]

Nicely done I'm sure FREDDY would like it.......the VIDEO partying like Rock-stars & bikers. Freddy will never truly be dead as long as just one of you remembers him "God Bless him, God you took him too soon"

[pennedanimal]

There's always a great risk for anyone when they take on one of the greatest rock songs of all time, simple comparison with the legends can make one look bad. I think in this case, I agree with those comments that stated Robbie Williams somehow couldn't bring the feel of the song across.

[karanmeh131]

gr8 song nd even better music than queen!!!!

[jwdub75]

You sir are a mere insult to Freddie. The greatest rock vocalist of all time.

[LeftFalangie]

Robbie tries too hard to sound American. Why is that?!

[TheJackinder]

@LeftFalangie just his singing style

[docunagi]

ouch… this is not good to start a journey. Back to the real thing ! A mic and a song cannot make it all. You need a "powerful vocals over a four-octave range" and I don't have it… neither Mr William :( To bad for him !

[jiangteng]

Robi ,,somehow you dont get the feel

[ukuledoj]

"It is one of the greatest songs ever written but I think they've ruined it." "I don't want to be nasty but let's just say Robbie Williams is no Freddie Mercury. Freddie can never be replaced – and certainly not by him." - John Deacon.. sad but true

[diegosanz92]

@ukuledoj we will always said this about him :)!

completly agree with you!

[Kamilop91]

@ukuledoj Watch your mouth son or you'll find yourself floting home!

[karokaro34]

A great song for a great movie!

[tracygalvin]

Can't really hate it. Just seems kind of pointless since it resembles the original so much (except vocally of course). I admire John Deacon's loyalty to Freddie. I think I'll copy him and stick with the Queen I know and love. Nothing to see hear folks. Move along.

[plankboi]

wow... i love it because you get to hear robbie stretch his voice like he should every time.

[rsairung]

yeah yeah !! no time for loser!!!!

[polkadotsfillthesky]

haha I like the beatles reference "i never said we were better than the king, just more popular"

[CarlosERS89]

I like this version better because of the solo at the ending.

[solidsnakecs]

It´s a good cover.....specially at 3:25

[FanNovoross]

единственный человек ,который нормально перепел квинов,не испоганив сей шедевр

[scottishgal92]

its not a question of whos better, I mean cmon, anyone with any sense of judgement can see that Freddie Mercury is untouchable. I'm a massive fan of Freddie and Queen but it would be petty to slag Robbie. Robbie looks up to Freddie, he's certainly not trying to copy him, or suggest hes better than him. If you dont want to listen to this version, how about not searching it?

[Guildus1]

@ OSCARCRUZ1 The name of the Movie is KNights Tale, probably one of my fav movies of all time.

Queen was one of those bands that had freddy not died they might be as popular today as they were in the 70's

[OSCARCRUZ1]

what is movie that show in the video?

[gabywwefan]

wow this is very good!!!

good 4 you Robbie:)

[kiikat]

I thought it was a really good cover, so whatever to all the haters, you rock Robbie!

So did Freddie, but that's not the point. Wer're talking about whether or not ROBBIE did well. And he did. End of story. Why must we compare?

[TheArisenOne]

This is an insult to the memory of Freddie Mercury. Pure undiluted trash.

[zigertube]

@TheArisenOne This song was far from Freddie's or Queen's best work. Not even close. Be less of a twit.

[robbiepolaco]

The single was a tribute to queen. I did not want to prove he was better than Freddie. Stop fighting on which was better or worse

[cldr22]

R.I.P Heath Leadger

[hansalas]

No offense to Robbie..

But it was not a good move by Robbie, to do this cover..

[jonathan55751]

crap video it was.

[cldslash]

haha,Freddie is umbelievable,amazing and fantastic,this guy above is ordinary,Jonh Deacon dont recorder this version ,he says ´´is one of the greatest songs ever written,and you know,robbie is not exactly a Freddie Mercury``,i go with you Jonh.

[yourvalentinegirl]

NOBODY i repeat NOBODY will beat Freaddie Mercury, nuff said

[guilleory]

"We are the champions" is that kind of song no matter how good you sing it will never sound as nice as the original version

[kaylarose823]

If you think Robbie Williams sound good doing Freddie Mercury, then you better go back and listen to the real deal Queen again.

[Bubbles10784]

wow best coveri have ever heard!!!!!

[memorial113]

目を瞑るとRoger Taylorの声と聞き違える。

このしわがれ声然り、高音の声質然り…。

[JayforLif]

:'( i miss the days i used to hear this song! Wow, i was a kid i never realized how cute robbie was ^_^
