Freddie was simply a genius.

Montserrat said that Freddie loved her and she loved him. She said very early on in their working relationship, they were singing together & she looked at him and she knew it, that he had conquered her. Montserrat was Freddie’s favorite opera singer in the world. 🌎 ❤

You've got to react to queen I want to break free live Japan 1985. Freddie is funny as hell in this one. R.I.P. FREDDIE WE MISS YOU

Freddie was so much more than a rock singer! He composed a whole duet album for Montserrat, who was one of the greatest opera divas of the 20th century.

Montsy was the Top Diva in the world at the time Freddie adored her and wanted to meet her. They became best friends. Barcelona was written by Freddie for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona . Freddie died in 1991 so was not able to see his dream come true but Montsy sang it without Freddie 😓 Montsy asked him if he could write a whole album for them to do together and he did and it’s named Barcelona You would love the entire album esp Golden Boy which all Freddie fans think is about Freddie 🥰

Great song. Try Guide Me Home and Golden Boy from the same album. Only Freddie could pull off a hit album he co-wrote and performed with an opera soprano diva like Monserrat Caballe (pronounced: Mon-sir-ot. Cab-all-yee-a) This song was performed by her in the 1992 Olympics. Freddie had passed away. 😢. They adored each other and he confided his aids status with her. She kept his secret. She confided she thought she was too old and heavy to sing with him. He told her music has no age it looks darling.

Thank you....this album is freddie legacy....his best album

Freddie showing the world his full capabilities. A Queen song to react to is Scandal that gets so overlooked

Yes goosebumps ❤

A romance sanctioned in the Lap of the Gods ❤ never to be replaced or repeated, a magical & MercuryMontserrat 😊meeting of the souls

Freddie so admired Montserrat, so this was a dream come true for him. He wrote this song for her for the 92 Olympics in Barcelona sadly he passed away in 1991.

Bohemian Rhapsody and Killer Queen/ I’m in love with my car from Rock Montreal in 1981 will change your life.

This is the first opera cross over It was selected for the Barcalona olympics but unfortunately Freddie was no longer with us

Barcelona is the appetizer The Golden Boy is the main course! Bon Appetit!

FREDDIE BRINGING OPERA TO THE ROCK AN POP ❤❤

You really don’t even need to say anything, just watching your face was enough to know how much she loved it. Montserrat was the premiere soprano of opera, and Friday adored her. He wrote an entire album for them. They became very close friends, and she really loved Freddie. Totally amazing.

Apparently she asked Freddie to perform this at the Barcelona olympics but he told her he would be gone by then. 😪😪

Since you have heard Barcelona, you must listen to , How Can I Go On by the same two. It’s magic.

Montserrat Caballe's nickname was Montsey. (Much EASIER to say!) BTW... The background voices singing, were actually ALL Freddie's own voice/multilayered backing vocals. (I guess they must've had the "singers" onstage for visual effect?)

Thanks, Mann - the DRAMA! These two were kindred souls, as well as amazing musical talents! (also see "How can I go On" by them... and "the Golden Boy"... they actually did an entire album) appreciate your reaction...

"How can I go on ", and Golden boy ",are 2 more songs they did from this album. Please react to these too.

How can i go on is another amazing song by these two and well worth a listen prepare to be amazed once again.

Chills every time I hear this ❤. One to listen to first thing in the morning, what an uplift to start the day ❤❤❤❤ Freddie could sing the phone book and it would sound amazing, what a pairing though x

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He was so many different things in that beautiful, perfect little body. Genius beyond . And the most Beautiful soul ever created.

I loved your reaction I bet when you got up this morning you didn't think you would be listening to opera and liking it 😅. A match made in heaven,where they both sing today. By 87 Freddie knew that he had Aids but it was only known to his inner circle,however such was the love they felt for each other he shared this with her,who he called Monday. He wrote this song for her,when it was chosen for the 92 Barcelona Olympics he had to break to her the news that he knew he would no longer be alive then. He wrote a great album for them both, if you fancy some more I would recommend these 3, how can I go on, golden boy and exercises in free love/ guide me home. This a weird and wonderful journey, enjoy x

Yes! Please add “The Golden Boy” to your list; Opera and Rock collide! For yet another style Freddie masters vocally, please consider “Cool Cat”, official video. Thanks!

This album and Bohemian Rapsody were analyzed by my children's music teacher in high school for an entire school year. This school year, none of my children did any “forgotten” homework at the school desk.

Loved it, try The Golden Boy

There is another song from this same album that is awesome - The Golden Boy.

Thank you so much 😊 please react to How can I go on also with Montserrat 😊

They shook the foundations from the sky!! They were meant to be. A perfect pair musically. She said Freddie taught her it was ok to move around the stage. Opera singers don't usually move. What a great song and preformance. One of Freddie's last live prefomance ❤❤❤❤❤ One song that doesn't get a lot of reaction is Bijou by Queen. Freddie had a cat named Bijou. It's a beautiful song.

They had a great love for each other and sang a few songs together. It’s good to see what else Freddie could do. Loved your reaction. 👍🏾😊

Try Golden Boy…amazing!!🎼❤️🎼🇬🇧

Still gives me chills...every time!

Written in the hope of being picked for the Barcelona Olympics (it was), it’s essentially Freddie’s love letter to Montsy about the first time they met. One of his greatest accomplishments.

Glad you appreciated both of these wonderful singers! I think you would really enjoy Peter Gabriel, In your eyes, secret world live

Please react queen, one vision, live in budapest. Kisses from Portugal. Ana
