MiG Ayesa - Bohemian Rhapsody

[RallyBear1]

I think the lead guitarist loves his whammy a little too much.

[Topkat311]

Mig is amazing. This is just a really poor video off someones TV set that's why it sounds bad

[ADirtDiggler]

He's not bad, but something is missing. I guess just being able to sing fairly well isn't everything.

[Flutiexx102]

which one is better: MiG's version, or suzie McNeil's?

[ctcodytaylor98]

@Flutiexx102 suzzie"s

[aurun72009]

@Flutiexx102 watch marc martel he`s pretty good at this song, .

[iwhre20]

thumbs up if your watching this in 2011

[leamichele101]

I met him last night at Rock Of Ages And he was sooo sweet. And we got his picture and we got his autograph

[countrySTAR06]

he. is. sexyyyyy.

[davelanger]

JD was by far the most talented, and he sung the Michael songs perfectly. Plus did you even watch the song writing clinic? The two songs each group wrote were laughable, but JDs songs turned into their first single, it was at that point they knew JD was the guy

[mlukas]

I thought JD was actually pretty good and a good choice. Although MIg is AMAZING. My wife and I just saw him this last weekend in Rock of Ages and he was fantastic. His band (which is him, a few other cast members and the backing band for ROA) played the House of Blues Anaheim that same night after their last show. They took the stage about midnight and played an AWESOME set of covers. Migs voice was amazing.

[jasonh213]

look up the video "vanessa whips her hair" she sings this wayy better!

[wickmanfam]

Mig is now doing the Broadway show Rock of Ages.

[BlanFan2O]

Did Freddie justice. Great cover.

[17garfield21]

I didnt watch this, he lost?probably because his half blood asian.haha.still discrimination exist. this is the sad thing..

[keymonyito]

@17garfield21 he's a Filipino... 

[aiyaah]

@keymonyito i know he was born in the Philippines but wouldn't you consider him an Australian since he was raised there?

[keymonyito]

@aiyaah he has Filipino blood running through his veins..

[1peaceandlovehammers]

Love Love Love!! xoxo

[marekgothfather]

OMFG lesson one in how to kill a truly classic, freddie mercury must be glad he's dead

[ladygagasuziemcneil]

suzie mcneils version was better no offence

[nawrock]

very well done

[pseudoepigraphi]

Obviously enjoyment of music is subjective, so if you don't like it, you don't like it. But it's ridiculous to say that Mig can't sing well, or he can't cover this song well. He is super talented, has a superb voice, excellent control--very talented musician. He is SO GOOD at singing this song that it's crazy. If you don't like it, that's fine. But the idea that he's bad is just a joke.

[idloveadrink]

@pseudoepigraphi word. agree 100%

[hilary07]

did any of yall even know that Mig was the star performer in the show "we will rock you" in london that was based on all Queen songs? so obviously he knows how to do this song and many other freddie songs.

[DailyHyrule]

By no means is this guy bad. Get off your elitist fanboy warhorses and appreciate an honest attempt. He did a lot better than most people who have covered it.

[nhadz16]

i just can't stop laughing after all the bad comments here...

[koodey99]

FAIL

[FreMerFor]

This guy can't sing AT ALL and tries to be compared with FREDDIE?!!! He just SPOILT the song!

[countrySTAR06]

@FreMerFor go back to school and learn some grammar, jackass.

[tolkendiaz]

dont' try to sing like Freddie!!

[sytan22]

I liked Suzy's version of the song!! she was amazing.. but he.. hmm... no.. i like him.. but not singing this song!

[jakenazty]

hahah awsome kayo

[jakenazty]

it was the exact same thing for supernova when they should have picked dialna or tristan instead of lucas

[AtheistaNET]

who the fuck is tristan? haha

[caitylee]

omfg...I just realized something...Mig played a vampire that was suppose to kill Lestat in "the queen of the damned" I'm serious..I just thought about it.

[fivecougarsthanks69]

After this i was ashamed to be Australian.

[mosconi98]

please kill this asshole, he turn one of the most beutiful song of queen ina shit.... please Freddie forghive him

[Ciudadmx]

the one I think you are talking about is Gary Beers, the bassist of INXS, and you are right, he seems kind of laughing at Mig. (1:53) Not nice !

[joannethursday]

He is actually Filipino. :)

Go Migs! Keep making us proud!

[cheekymonkey3np]

omg really?!?! i never knew that!! i'm half filipino!!

[AtheistaNET]

he's a cousin of Manuel Legarda (of Wolfgang).

[seanwalrus]

@AtheistaNET really? tnx for the info.

[kn1ghtwm]

well idk all i no is he gave it all up for inxs lol dunt blame me ;p

[wllmtylr3]

I remeber watching this showing,inxs lost me as a fan.After they chose JD,when the others were far more talented.Ater JD sang" Money",it was obvious what the band was really after,and it wasn't talent.Or Mig or one the others with real taent would have won.Just so dissapointing for INXS,Thier behavior at the end was such a let down.

[bunchanumbers4192207]

i agree that they should of picked mig but the thing is that jd fitted the band better even though it sucked

[sens2good]

it was the exact same thing for supernova when they should have picked dilana or ryan instead of the lucas

[Danklin24]

or Toby. Rand

[sens2good]

either way u know what I mean...like lucas was fine..the only problem was that I couldnt understand what he was singing..lol...but they could have picked quite a few more singers which would have made supernova succesful like mig or marty would have made inxs more popular

[welona68]

@wllmtylr3

Yea I know doh! Mig is AWESOME!!!!!!!

[kn1ghtwm]

This dude was one bad ass bigshot in brittan and he gave that up to try and win in Inxs. Anyone know if he got his job back?

[F1KillerQueen]

Mig is actually Australian not British!!

[jamjar87]

He was in WWRY London singing this, and was fantastic!

[kurttney]

the version of suzie mcneill is more elabotated

[chatswoodgal]

one of the freaking judges laughed at MIG at 2:00 something, I bet he can only play music not know how to sing

[chatswoodgal]

i luv u MIG, but wish you had never sung this song.

[wwemaniac65]

all of u know that suzie's version is better

[CBrinkworth]

I see MiG is playing some low key Solo night's in a bar in Nolita, Manhattan at the moment if you want to see him live and intimate with no cover. Search for "Eight Mile Creek and MiG" on Google

[TJdR1026]

Wow! Mig is really great..I thought he could pull it off up to the last episode and made it as Inxs lead vocals. But sad part is, he sang a beautiful song (ballad indeed in which he described as a song that should heal the heart of Inxs remaining band members to forget their dead vocalist and continue with the new; they dont seem to like it). They even told that Mig looks like a rock star but is he a rock star. Then suddenly JD aired his composition which is really good in Rock Genre.

[basboosa911]

i liked suzie's version more

[acdvfb]

No Freddie, but I like him better than Paul Rodgers.

[Ladiwolf]

I'm with you there...he is no Freddie, but much better than Paul Rodgers. Paul is good...if he sings Bad Company. He shouldn't try to sing Queen songs....it is not even close.

[Luthier91]

wow, i didn't like it at all. i can sing better than that.

[Paathue]

I really doubt you're able to sing this song like Mig did. He sang it absolutly terrific!

[superdutch44]

this guy was in the QUEEN musical lol the cast for the first tour was chosen by QUEEN so i bet they know a thing or tow

[grungeshaq]

simply awesome

[emifaltaderespeto]

es un hijo de puta .. canta como un maricon ... seguro ke no se la aguanta .. ke venga si tiene huevos .. lo voy a cagar a trompadas

[Luthier91]

JAJAJAJA CHABÓN, muy argentino. Es bueno ver gente conocida.

[emifaltaderespeto]

@Luthier91 gracias loco ! saludos desde argentina !

[yoyatec]

no tiene ningun brillo dedicate a otra cosa no a cantar

[nanoflkv]

cuando canto yo, tengo la voz super super parecida a el.. me encanta!!

[BunnyBunnyTurtle]

I remember watching MiG as Joe on the Ferals' show on ABC when I was a kid. When I saw him on Rockstar: INXS I half recognised him, then got excited coz I remembered where from. MiG should have won over JD for sure. JD couldn't work in the group as he proved for one of the challenge things. Was a bit disappointed in INXS' choice. Even if it wasn't MiG, Suzie would have been a hell of a lot better than JD.

[slickcriz41]

he's definitely a filipino!

[Lickensiedicken]

Whats up with the..ears.

[livelovelaugh023]

my friends met him. i didnt know who he was then to be honest.. :S now i know.

he's good :)

[barbosadeoliveira]

MiG Ayesa também conseguiu essa façanha de cantar a parte em que o Queen usava playback.Por que eles não cantavam a música toda ao vivo???

[starshines2]

omg. he so amazing. heartmelts!

[mmp2011]

he was one of my favs ...and please dont be mad at me but i dont think he was right for inxs

[sammythedrummerNZ]

hey , im new to youtube, just thought i'd let everyone know that MiG is doing ONE performance only in New Zealand on October 11th at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna in Auckland, anyone here from NZ????

[jamesishere77]

how the fuck didn't he win?

[wowawe69]

pinoy pride!!!!!!

[wwryhk]

This is great, but he sounds even better live. I saw him yesterday at Elements in HK, last month in Bangkok and in May and June in HK and he was amazing in every performance.

[tmacfan36]

hes filipino and australian....

he should've won!!!!!

he was the best!!

[ildr2003]

His parent's are Ilonggos like me... but i saw Rockstar INXS , he was great but when it comes to the last three episodes, he kind of sucked a bit, JD Fortune performances became outstanding. JD fortune really deserves to win the gig for INXS, but Mig is still great of course. Let us support this another pinoy. Go Mig!

[ildr2003]

Ops sorry! he only has ilonggo blood in him!

[mawsley9]

I actually went to an INXS/JD concert, found him too cocky, with the result that he was too accepting of sub-standard singing, was more concerned with playing up to the audience. He absolutely butchered many of the songs.

[DowneyAdmirer]

He should have freaking won, damnit.

[orelero]

only the early part of the intro is really good.

[Nippert77]

I thought this was one of the best performances on that lame show. They really missed out on this guy winning, he is a great singer!

[shataman]

Damnn!! The houseband is f*ucking great!! Anybody knows if sometime this band play in somewhere else together?? Whey are they playing know?

[Limbo34]

Mig rocks.

[Kaitz1997]

I didn't need to convince him he said he wanted to here us sing in our musical!! He is so cool!

[Kaitz1997]

I met him and he said he is coming to our school!! soon! Next week!! He is my best mate!!

[hiuhilbff]

lucky!!!! How did you convince him to go to your school?

[emochid]

he came ! we sang we will rock you with himm !! so fun ! :D x

[luckyluvver]

lucky! which school? I live in HK too

[message1234]

I JUST WATCHED WATCHED HIM IN HK LIKE 1HOUR AGO!

abs i met himmmm!! and me and my friend were chatting for adgesss hes so cool

also hes so much better live

[guitarhero9990]

LOL i love the falsetto voice of the guitarist at 1:25-1:27

[teambearmartin]

I just watched him in Hong Kong in We Will Rock you, he did Freddie justice.

he was absolutly amazing.

[nationaltreasurer]

[nationaltreasurer]

i just saw wwry with mig in hong kong..

[luckyluvver]

[mirahk03]

[musicbaby01]

He came to Singapore and performed in "We will rock you", and was totally awesome! His voice sounded alot better in the musical=D

[JiunLinJAV]

yeah i was there! it was woah woah awesome!

[coolinnit]

YEAH, i watched it just now too! he's too pro. (it must be because he's got filipino blood in him. :)

[Danklin24]

INXS was laughiung their asses off at this. Suzie's was so much better. Mig put WAY too much into it.

[ingii89]

I went to we will rock you in 2004, Mig Ayesa played Galileo and everytime I hear this song I think about the great time I had during the musical and my time in London (as a 15year old girl)

[Tizzlemizzle]

I went and saw this too. But I saw it just last year in Auckland, NZ and Mig was still in it. Loved it...and they put a bit in it towards the end saying (joking) 'that they didnt even want him in INXS'....it was rather funny...

[shamonsteer]

i went on sunday 2pm show too! he was amazing. too bad he's already married. i spent all my money to get one of the souvenir shirt.

WE WILL ROCK YOU KICKED ASS!

[ngeray]

i watched him performed on sunday at the esplanade too at 2pm . Great show . Hope there is a repeat of the play . simply love it . Good Job MiG . Btw wad sch u frm ?

[pluvirate]

[AikenFerClay]

i'd like to hear Clay do this song. I love Queen.

[setojim73191]

not better than freddy

[critterz228]

true, but who is?

[bisdakdiay]

Mig Ayessa is Filipino-Australian, and i think he moved to London with his wife and now doing all kinds of musicals in Asia, i think now he is in Singapore, i'm not sure.

[spyderman211]

i m sick of this stupid comments he sings cover for a contest he didnt intend to be compared to freddy

[rockermichi]

he totally owned the stage when i watched " We Will Rock You" at the esplanade theater!

[4gotten]

suprised me that this guy is now the lead man in queen's musical "we will rock you" in australasia!!!!!

[crystalarose]

He's been the lead since it opened accouple of years ago.

[nesa5kovic]

absolutely the best

[rowag001]

they should hire real rockers instead of the new rockers, should be some scene presence, and some stageclothes

[yanidy]

Mig should be in this band Journey, than Arnel.

[minadurap18]

Esse cara ganha a vida cantando as musicas dos outros? ¬¬'

[vhoney1]

I totally wanted him to win. He's soooo hot too.

[2Minpins]

The house band was the Best! I miss this show.

[edennista123]

i no i loved this show

[Kikij26]

i loved mig and jd!!!! i wish mig won though

[Kikij26]

i loved mig and jd!!!! i wish mig won though

[willev7]

[Zitor666]

[eous55]

[lordvoldemort432]

mig and tht uther blond guy were my fav

[willev7]

ummm, that blonde guy is MARTY CASEY and he is the best. check out his band the lovehammers, there amazing!

[WestEndMusicals]

What are u saying

mig is the most amazing guy ever he makes time to speak to u not many people do that he is the most amazing guy ever

[4everedevil]

yeah he's backstreet boy wannabe rocker:S

[ChiMiGFan]

ZAnna, I have the album, it's beautiful

[LucindaLC]

MiG sang this better than anyone else on the show. It is such a hard song, it pushes a singer, usually beyond their limits. He really rocked it!

[leandritoesteban]

UNA BOSTA!

[turdonmyface]

i'd rather listen to the original

[x0xZannAx0x]

answer me something people, does anyone have MiG's album?

[ChiMiGFan]

ZannA I have it-it's beautiful

[x0xZannAx0x]

well in the back of the book in the cover, look at the thankyous and in the second column it should say 'the nisbets, the walkers and jack in katoomba' my name is Suzanna NISBET and I live in KATOOMBA nsw australia, the WALKERS is my sister and mi sisters dad and JACK is my step-dad. MiG is my UNCLE!!!!!!!! lol if u dont believe me then dont i dont kare but i am telling the truth (give me any quiz questions and i will answer them truthfully about my uncle)

[ChiMiGFan]

Very cool! And very cool uncle!

[zachstar19]

whos asking???

[rocker685]

me.

[JesusSoutherland]

The quality is sort of crappy, but still, its the song that counts. lmao.

It sounds sort of bad at 1:42 -1:53 and then he drops pitc at 1:58 and then gets hella high at 2:02. (lmao. My timings are off I know but close)

[AminahSeeve4Evr]

Freddy will rest in peace forever!

As for this song, I think that this is Mig's best performance! I absolutely love this song and his voice, it makes an amazing combination ;-)

[thergking]

no people sings this song like freddie mercury

[elementfool]

i got to meet nate morton, the house band drummer. he came to singapore for the singapore drumfest 07

[shebecrazy]

'I see a little 'muffled'hetta of a man???' haha This is pretty good but Bohemian Rhapsody is one of THOSE songs. You know? You just can't sing it well enough.

[pinkpigluver]

mig has the most incredible voice ever...!

[SadieLJ]

Theres no way this was out of tune - it was awesome, I have watched this again and again. I saw him in We Will Rock You several times and he rocked. This song is so hard to sing live and he did it perfectly - Love it!

[ChiMiGFan]

It's interesting to note that Brian May chose MiG to play Galileo in WWRY/West End. I'd consider Brian a pretty good judge of MiG's singing ability.

[vynzsh4yah]

Proud to be Pinoy!!!!

[mawsley9]

Not only was he out of tune regularly, he sang most of it in the back of his throat. This becomes apparent as the sound and volume of his voice changes as you go through. This was an absolute mess -near Pickler standard.

[chex432]

I don't think he was out of tune..but I understand about the back of the throat. It sounds very strained...but then again, it is one of the hardest songs vocally ever written for a guy :)

[AuDioSLavE802]

I have to agree wholeheartedly. Yes, yes, yes! People forget that Freddy was classicaly trained and had an amazing tenor range. I've seen acapella versions better than what this guy did!

[Tyrussel]

Meh, i'm not sure if I like his OR Suzie's version...  Sorry, but I'm gonna stick with the original. Queen did it the best.

[evexeros]

Mig's version is the best.. he can feel the song. Suzie's technique is good, but it was shallow. Suzie's Roxane.. is awsome!! But not Bohemian Rhapsody.
