In any other band, the drummer Roger Taylor would have been the lead singer, but with Freddie in the lineup ... no chance LOL But you guys summed it up: a song like this takes everyone in the band to bring to life on stage. This combination of four guys had chemistry that could never be duplicated in a million years

There are no backing vocalists or musicians. It’s all queen. Roger Taylor (the drummer) is a phenomenal singer and supports Freddie so good

Roger Taylor's vocals are often overshadowed by Freddie's virtuoso voice, but he's a phenomenal singer himself and his contribution to Queen's sound is one of the things that makes the group so damned good.

Roger Taylor’s backup vocals make this song so good!!

I mean, I was gonna hit the like button anyway, but when BJ said, "I'm sitting next to my Queen, and she has found somebody to love," THAT deserved a like right there and then. 😄

Roger Taylor is the drummer. All the super high notes are him, including in Bohemian Rhapsody. Listen to I’m In Love With My Car, he sings lead. It’s a completely different Queen.

This band was so tight! Brian May,guitar, Roger Taylor,drums, John Deacon,bass and Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano. I'm so blessed to say this was my music growing up in the 60s 70s and 80s. We had the best music!!!!

That wasn’t beer Freddie was drinking- he didn’t drink beer during the show. He said he was afraid he would burp while trying to sing… 🤣 He drank a mixture of tea and honey to sooth his voice while singing.

Arguably the greatest front man in Rock history. Freddy is incredible.

I couldn’t agree more with all he comments about Roger Taylor’s talent. Keep in mind that he did all this without a wireless headset like today’s drummers. He had to be at the mic at the right time without missing a beat. Freddie absolutely took care of his instrument and never drank while performing. Every movement on stage was timed perfectly. Before he passes off his mic, a fresh cup of hot honey and lemon is placed on the piano. That’s what you saw him drink. Thanks for a great reaction!

Four incredibly talented guys at the top off their game!!!!!! MAGIC!!!!

Freddie Mercury wrote this song. The lyrics reflect a man calling out to God, asking why he works so hard, but can't find love. At the end of the song, he finds hope and decides he will not accept defeat.

Roger Taylor has a great voice too!! That ending with him drumming and singing is so impressive! I saw them back in 1981, best concert ever!! ❤️❤️

Freddie wrote every note. Perfection perfection . The best rock LIVE band EVER! EVER!

Roger Taylor (drummer) was underrated as a singer. I guess anyone on the stage with Freddie would be outshined. If you go back and listen to Bohemian Rhapsody Roger sang the extremely high parts.

It's hard to top a Queen live performance. Just brilliant.

Just watch the full Montréal 1981 concert. Nonstop energy and each song done to perfection, All live, no auto tune, all musicians with talent.

Asia & BJ, you'll love their "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "You’re My Best Friend"!!

That drummer is the fabulous Roger Taylor! He's amazing! And adorable to boot..lol . Queen is just one of kind. All are SO talented!

Nobody physically can sing like Freddie Mercury. He had the fastest vibrato ever tested. He used the ventricular folds in his throat to create subharmonics a technique only ever seen in Tuvan singers. He also had a large jaw. So he was able to sing with perfect pitch and create his own vocal print making it recognizable to human ears. He was obviously born to sing and be a showman as he also had incredible energy. ❤More Queen and Freddie Mercury please. ❤The fact he found 3 other incredible musicians who could harmonize with him was fate. He wanted to be a legend. He still is.

Roger, the drummer, was always there to help with vocals especially when Freddie's voice was tired or strained.

This video never fails to give me goosebumps! One of my fav parts is when Freddie looks straight into the camera before his first vocal run. 🤩

Queen is the band four equal members Freddie was the lead singer he has said many times in interviews he was not the leader but the lead singer they were all multi instrumentalists Roger Taylor on drums has an amazing voice had solo projects running alongside Queen also Dr Brian May lead guitar amazing voice also had a solo career John Deacon bass guitar very rarely sang said he couldn’t sing all wrote number one hits all inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame one brilliant amazing band ❤️❤️

This was just epic. A stellar performance for Queen.

Freddie made it look effortless. A sign of true genius.💛

YES! I knew y'all would appreciate this live version. Freddie in his prime. The entire Montreal 81 concert is 🔥🔥🔥

Rip to Queen Elizabeth the band loved her Also this was definitely Aretha Franklin inspired

Freddie's warm-up reaches places most singers can only dream of.

When this master of many musical instruments was asked which was his favorite his response was "The audience, darling, the audience.!" Freddy loved us as much as we love him. Blessed to experience them live back in the day. An energy transfer unlike any other before or since.

*😲AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE STILL REMEMBER QUEEN TODAY!!!🤯* Can't say it any better than the 235 people before me. However I will say that I love the fact that you two do the studio version before hearing it live, it just makes the live performance so much better. Keep it up, we're loving it. Peace

Even the drummer can sing!❤ Here I go again with G.M., but that was wonderful performance too. Gorge sang this song at the tribute concert for Freddie, while his partner found out he had AIDS too, and was in the crowd that day. George said, “I just wanted to die inside. I was so overwhelmed by singing the songs of this man I had worshipped as a child, who had passed away in the same manner my first living partner was going to experience."

Your reaction was a delight! You’re so right, the talent of these 4 men is astronomical.

The talent in that band was beyond belief.

I was fortunate to see Queen in concert for this tour at the Baltimore Civic Center in August of 1980. Freddie owned the crowd from the moment he stepped on the stage. Definitely one of "those concerts" that I will always remember.

If you really want to be amazed, check out Freddie and Monsterat Caballet singing a duet!! The Golden Boy is my favorite

I was 21, and this was such a good time for concerts. Freddie was a genius and so respected. He was a showman and good at keeping the audience what they came to see.

Best part about this - despite it sounding like / having the energy of a final encore at the close of a show, this was only the 4th song of a 27 song concert. Freddie and Queen are absolute legend.

"Even the drummer can sing. Who's that drummer?" That statement alone tells you just how amazing of a singer Roger Taylor is. Freddie Mercury just gave the performance of his life, quite possibly the best he ever sang, and her first reaction is even the drummer can sing. That's how amazing Roger Taylor is. I am a guitar player. You would think my favorite member would be Brian May, who I do love. It shows you just how unique of a performer you're dealing with when a guitar player's favorite band member is the drummer, and it's because of his voice.

soo glad you reacted to this the best version ... remember this is LIVE like WTF lol sounds sooooooo goood not just freddie the whole band... this is why queen are sooo loved.

Queen has been my favorite band in the whole wide world for the past 48 years! You reactions were priceless, especially the smile that it put on Asia's face. Thank you so much for posting!

This is my favorite Queen song. Has been since the day it came out. This live version is EVERYTHING!

You bet this was great to see live. In fact I saw them, on this tour in Madison Square Garden, in September 1980. There's another great song, well they're all great, from the album this tour was named after called the Game. It was the last song on the album, "Save Me". I highly recommend it. The drummer is Roger Taylor, check a live version of "I'm in love with my car". He wrote it and sings lead vocals.

This song will always remind me of Taylor Hawkins. He was a huge Queen fan and would sing lead on this song when Foo Fighters covered it at their concerts. Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor joined Foo Fighters on stage for this song at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert last weekend with Sam Ryder singing lead. That entire 6 hour concert was amazing, every minute was absolutely perfect, so much great music and an outpouring of love for Taylor and the Foo family.

Asia Dear,- the physical reaction is a phenomenon that us diehard Queen fans feel every time, when we listen to Freddie. He reaches right into your heart and it is his spirit, his voice and his charisma that touches you so deeply. - Thank you for your smiles ☮ Sending love across the pond ❣

This is my favorite Queen performance of any song. Y’all are going to 🥰

Freddie was a composer, an artist, a Performer, and a Singer beyond Compare!

I’ve been to 3 Queen concerts in my life and cried every time. Such an emotional rollercoaster !

One of my greatest disappointments is not ever having the opportunity to see them live ! while on the subject of Queen you guys need to react to the audience singing Bohemian Rhapsody at a Green Day concert ! THAT will give you goosebumps to

Just found you both & I am thrilled you are reacting to thr legendary rock band QUEEN !!! I subscribed to you too so I don't miss your next QUEEN reactions. I can see you both are the real deal, a beautiful in-love couple who hopefully now get why Freddie Mercury's performances are truly unforgettable. The man was unique & his 4 octave voice was acknowledged by many music people who call him the greatest performer of all time. The further you get down the QUEEN rabbit hole of songs, the more you'll understand why he is loved & listened to in every country every day .... there never was anyone like him. You will also discover that in his early 40s he made an album called BARCELONA singing opera live onstage with MONTSERRAT CABALLE, the world's most famous opera Soprano of the 1980s & 1990s. Freddie wrote all the music of the album, some with his pianoplayer friend, & the lyrics, one opera song in Japanese and another opera in Catalan, the spoken language of MONTSERRAT. He then made a first attempt recording of himself singing IN HER PITCH all of her operatic parts of the songs he wrote & mailed it to her for her approval!!! Remember, she was ten times more famous than he was so she was final apptoval. In fact, he was thrilled she agreed to sing a song with him, but when she heard and saw the extraordinary talents of Freddie, she asked how many songs are on QUEEN albums, he said "about 10", & so she said to Freddie "ok then ...we'll do 10 too !! Try to react to a few of those LIVE concerts too, please? THEY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND !!!! He shocked the world singing opera live to , at that time, the greatest opera singer in the world. That's Freddie Mercury.... " !

I was lucky enough to see Queen live (twice) at Madison Square Garden in 1977 and 1979 I believe (may be off on the years). They were the 2 best concerts I’ve EVER been to. Freddie Mercury, in my opinion, had the best rock voice of all time. He had a multi octave voice range, just spectacular, and his showmanship equaled his singing. Brian May on guitar, his style of play was so distinctive, that you always knew it was a Queen song coming on the radio back in the day. Roger Taylor killing it on drums, but was a fantastic singer in his own right. And then John Deacon slapping the bass. Just an amazing band and an amazing version of Someone to Love.

Freddie Mercury's voice was perfect! We won't see another like him for a long time. He knew how to work the audience and the audience loved him.

I still get goosebumps even after watching and listening to this version of this song over 100 times. I love you and miss you so much Freddie. Rest in Peace darling, dear man. ❤

I DID see Queen live seven or eight times., and some of their early gigs as well as their big venue concerts. I'm so lucky to be born in an era that made it possible to see some of the GOATS of music.

I was at this concert in Montreal. A road trip of 5000 miles return from Alberta to Quebec. Spent my 24 B-day listening to him sing this song and so much more. They were marvelous!

Queen was my first concert ever! Nobody has topped them! Not even RUSH or Prince!

There will NEVER be another Queen and Freddie ♥️

I love queen live ..but man I love that studio version ..its so old school how recordings were then ..1 microphone..just 1 . No auto tune ..just to see the complete harmony during that shows how much sweat and work went into music albums then . 4 guys ...today you see like 30 people on stage with a thousand theatrics to do a song . It's just PURE with these guys .

From the same concert, you guys should check out “I’m in love with my car”; Roger Taylor, the drummer, wrote it and sings lead 👍

Roger Taylor is an AMAZING singer and he always do the high tenor vocals. He's one of the best drummers in music history. Seeing Freddie sing and perform always makes me emotional knowing even then when I saw him in concert 😭 that he was ill with HIV. IT just gets to me

The fact that Roger can drum AND sing like that at the same time, makes my heart crazy!!!! ❤❤❤

RIP to Queen Elizabeth who passed today. The band were a big fan of Lizzie. May she rest in peace...

The drummer has amazing voice

There's a fantastic live performance I believe at Wembley stadium of under Pressure where Freddie completely commands like 70,000 people. It's insane.

I can watch this over and over anytime and it is still fresh, the goosebumps still come. If you want to add another layer, check out the LIVE version at Milton Keynes. It is a wild card performance - the song just rushes out of him to an audience that lifts him up. While not at the same film quality, it is just pure passion.

True talent no autotune.

One of my favorite performances.. love seeing drummer interaction with Freddy.

RIP, Queen Elizabeth.

The drummer Roger Taylor has always been the secret weapon for Queen. He does his job with unselfish zeal and is not nearly noted for his supporting vocals. But Queen fans know. The one player in a band you not mess with is the drummer. Roger Taylor should get far more credit than he does. But to his credit he doesn't complain about his situation. A true team player. And deservedly the unit of Freddie, John, Roger, and Brian were one of the all time greatest ever assembled. As we watch this performance from 4o years ago, it reminds us that real music is the most authentic way to touch people. Perhaps we would all be better if we could return to that. My favorite album by Queen was The Game. There are 3 standout songs for me. DRAGON ATTACK, SAVE ME, SAIL AWAY SWEET SISTER. Enjoy.

Yes...two other great singers in Queen...drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May. They often helped out when Freddie's voice was fried or tired or sang lead on other songs. But Freddie was perfection here. The entire Montreal concert is UNREAL. ❤ Freddie's (and my) favourite Queen song.

Most of the high harmonies on all their songs were done by Roger Taylor. (the drummer) He had unreal range.

I was 15 when that song came out. The beautiful thing about Freddie's voice is I get goosebumps still everytime I hear it. Cant imagine my life without Queens music. Thanks ☆☆☆☆☆ Great reactions. (I seen his shoulders go back the first time) than your hair starts ti stand up. haha.

Of course Roger Taylor sang, he also sang lead on some songs, as well as Brain May on guitar. They had 3 lead singers. I was fortunate enough to se them twice in the ‘70s. Once on A Day At The Races tour, and also the News Of The World tour. Freddie was a master showman of the highest caliber. When they played live he held everyone in the audience on a string wanting more.

Queen were the Kings of live performances!

So many Queen songs to respond to. Freddie's incredible stage presence still gives me cold chills...a talent gone way too soon! He put all he had into his performances.

Love y'all's Queen reacts. As someone who's been a fan for over 30 years I love watching others experience these songs and performances for the first time. I wish I could do that again.

He's the greatest entertainer, he always engages with his audience.

Yes, yes, yes! I love the look on BJ's face when the song started, and he realized that the start of the song sounded familiar. Freddie Mercury is one of a kind when it comes to vocal range. I've watched this video multiple times and i get goosebumps each time. It was fun to watch y'all react to this song, not to mention the live performance. Hope y'all have a great week and sending yall positive vibes.

After the sip of beer and at the end of his intense vocal you will see a tear roll from his left eye and down his cheek. He preformed with such emotion!!

If y'all haven't already done so, you NEED to hear him sing Melancholy Blues!!! O.M.G. 🎤

This is what talent looks like distilled to its purest form. I was so lucky to see Queen several times, the first in 1976. I saw them at the University of Maryland cole fieldhouse with Thin Lizzy as the opening band. Awesome times.

Thank you for that great reaction..B.J. Is right on the money!...Freddie always said about his songs that it was up to the people listening to make up their own minds...he wrote this as a tribute to Aretha Franklin whom he really admired...he had hoped that she would sing it one day...I wonder did she know about it?...also the bottle of beer was product placement...the cups had various liquids in them...water..tea..honey..lemon...after all if you sing like Freddie you need them🤩

I got to see them live in the early 80s. One of the best shows ever!

Now watch George Michaels sing this song at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

Definitely one of the greatest frontmen in rock history period !!

If you want to see just how well Brian May (guitarist) and Roger Taylor (drummer) can sing, I would recommend listening to No-one But You. Brian wrote it after Freddie's death. The only song they released as a 3 piece, and the last time John Deacon (bassist) appeared. He retired after that.

Roger TalTaylor, the drummer has a great voice.

Nice to see youngsters like you appreciate the music and form a honest opinion. I did see them 3 times in the 70s..but I'm a lot older than you youths!!!!

This is probably my second favorite live performance by queen. My first fav is obviously queen at live aid 1985

All members of Queen are just like Eagles and Beatles. Everyone can sing amazingly.

Nothing like watching Queen live in concert… I feel blessed to have seen Queen as my very first concert to ever go to. Right after A Night at the Opera came out, they quickly became one of my favorite bands.

Incredible performance by the entire band. Thank you for your reactions.

Had the absolute fortune of seeing Queen three times back then .... nothing in this world like it

Her Majesty ​🔸​👑​🔹​"OK, Let's do it!"

I did not appreciate just how magnificent Queen & Freddy Mercury were back in the 70s & 80s when I was growing up. It wasn't until my 40s when I really started listening them. Freddy was not just a very talented musician & singer but he was a remarkable entertainer & performer.

QUEEN FOREVER

I was so blessed to have been able to see them live 3 times. This is my favorite Queen song!

Okay you two are just to cute! This is what my music was growing up, I’m so elated that love Queen, and appreciate their magnificent, majestic sound. Freddie’s voice and passion is unmatched. I think you might enjoy Cool Cat, You Take My Breath away the official video, it is Freddie harmonizing with himself and what makes it even more amazing no computer, no auto tone, just raw talent, and White Queen live at Hammersmith my favorite song of Queen and it’s live it will blow your mind. Pure perfection Yes more Queen please!!! Stay safe darlings ❤️❤️❤️

That was just 4 men with instruments..🤔 No backing vocals, autotune, pre recorded anything. And that was the 4th song in a 2 hr set.❤🤘

One of the greatest life performances ever.

Asia nailed it midway into the song, a studio doesn't do them justice. In many ways, they were hampered being in a studio. Everything, from their music to their vocals, was geared towards large stadiums; and they were at their best performing Live in front of tens of thousands of people. The music was on point, the vocals were impeccable (and they harmonized so perfectly). Just an incredible group of performers / songwriters who complemented each other perfectly.
