Freddie Mercury may have had a wide range (including low to high) but he himself did not sing that high. He was a baritone who could hit tenor notes(but not live). A true Tenor is someone like Steve Perry or Arnel Pineda (new Journey singer) who can on command, hit a B4, C5, even a D5 in live concerts. Freddie Mercury, being the baritone that he is, could hit an A#4 in live concerts, but not much higher than that. Soto is not too far from Freddie's range, and so he could sing Queen not Journey.
You sound like somebody who has sang with a Madrigals unit! My X-wife used to school me all the time about the particulars of vocal ranges. I'm one of those dense guitarists that have always assumed a good singer could sing to any song I wrote, no matter what key. My X used to have fits with me over this! LOL.
Freddie Mercury sang all the part perfectly when his condition was fine like live in leiden.. Soto's range is much lower than Freddie.. Freddie used to hit the note more than the highest part of Bohemian Rhapsody during his prime time. (79~82)
He came down to Puerto Rico not too long ago with Journey and he did an AMAZING job. Everybody just loved him. Doing Queen, he's just as good. I, personally, prefer him over Paul Rogers doing Queen. Jeff's just an awesome singer and also very charismatic. GREAT backup singers too... Thanks for the post.
fuck that, this guy is one of the most talented singers i have ever heard, next to the sebastian bach and geoff tate, this guy can hit any note he wants in his sleep, his range is out of this world.
Wow!!! I would like to sit in his lap and sing myself!! (but I would probably sneak in a few licks of his face)He did a great job on this song, and the little girl is just a doll!
LOL he doesnt do any mistake at all. he does like jeff he makes the song its own, thats what makes it good not beeing like freddie, another copy wud just be damn boring
exactly angusy...Jeff stays within his vocal range and doesn't try to hit notes that Freddie did--because he's not Freddie...Jeff is a great singer and part of that is knowing how to use your talent
I love how doesn't try to hit the high notes. Instead of completely screwing it up by trying to sing the high notes, he just stays low and makes it sound good. Not many people can hit the high notes Freddie hit(if anyone could, I don't think it is possible), and JSS understands that(apparently). Most people I see that try to cover Queen, try to hit every note, and it only makes it sound horrible, JSS sounds great.
Here you can see - even the divine Jeff Scott Soto, one of the greatest singers of your time, reaches not the vocal abilities of earlier freddie. But in spite of that - thank you so much for doing this, Jeff, I know you're watching.

Soto has got a great range, but his voice was much too dark, in terms of timbre, for Journey
