The perfect song to fend zombies off with in a pub.

Incredible band, RIP Freddie Mercury, easily the greatest front man of all time

“…a scientific study on the uplifting effects of music named Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” as the world’s most effective song to make you feel good.” Great reaction ❤

"Somebody to Love" live 1981 in Montreal is an impressive performance and, it seems, the usual first suggestion along with "Live Aid". Queen is noted for their impeccable harmonies which are best heard on their studio recordings as they aren't easily replicated live. STL and "Love of My Life" are good examples. Thanks for listening to QUEEN! (BTW, Freddie loved and owned multiple cats.)

Queen is one of the most rewarding rabbit holes that you can dive into. Check out their entire live set at the Live Aid concert.

If only Freddie could see a generation reacting and loving his music who were born after he sadly left us. How wonderful a thing

I'm an amateur DJ who sometimes plays at student partys and when I play the whole evening I try to play different genres and always play this song around the middle of the evening. Everyone is still going wild to this song even the youngest who just came out of school for example. This song is simply a feel good song. RIP Freddie

What a showman Freddie was, the greatest in history.

Queen is probably the most educated rock band ever. They all have degrees in various subjects (including music and literature). Guitarist Brian May is actually a doctor of astrophysics. Brian also designed and built his own guitar from scratch to make his one of a kind sound.

Freddie was very shy offstage, but put him on stage with his friends and he is totally electric. All four members of Queen have degrees besides being amazing musicians. Freddie has a degree in graphic design and illustration, drummer Roger Taylor has one in biology, bassist John Deacon has one in electronics, and guitarist Dr. Brian May is an astrophysicist with a PhD. They have a huge catalog of songs to choose from. Here's one that not only showcases Freddie's incredible voice, but you can hear the incredible vocals of Roger Taylor. Somebody to Love - Live - 1981 Montreal kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l6difLWgtaytnmQ.html

I always feel that last section is Freddie taking off into the stratosphere with his voice fading as he floats up to his home among the stars...

Their perfect harmonizations, May solos....and of course Freddie, the greatest frontman ever. Queen is indeed pure royalty of modern music. Their list of hits to react to is immense, and this one makes me feel exactly like you do now every time. Welcome to Queen our dear Stacey!!

RIP Freddie, you're missed. should check out Queen at Live Aid at Wembley in London, one of the best live performances ever.

He was a very gifted performer all around and a very shy person off stage Rest in peace Freddie Mercury ❤

I might say an unpopular thing, but don't react to Live Aid now, first watch the individual songs, become familiar with the band, and only then watch Live Aid.

Queen a awesome band, all the members of Queen have written N01 hits, and Freddie is considered to be the best frontman of a band ever, his live legendary flamboyant performance are phenomenal, all the guys were amazing musicians, Queens greatest hits album is still today the best selling album ever in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 there home country,also it is thought that one in four people in the United Kingdom own a Queen album that’s how popular they are, I attended many live Queen concerts throughout their career ,and you need to check out their historical legendary performance at LiveAid 1985 at Wembley Stadium United Kingdom 🇬🇧,a 20 minute performance, Queens Brian May the lead guitarist, actually hand made his Electric Guitar 🎸 with his father out of a wooden fireplace this was when the band first formed when they didn’t have much cash, great reaction thanks 🙏

You're the first person who mentioned how he is playing the piano standing up (mostly with one hand) and I always was so amazed by that too that I couldn't understand why nobody ever mentions it!

This song isn't simply about having a good time. This is a song when Freddie jumped into the fast lane and was doing anything & everything with anyone & everyone of which raised concerns with guitarist Brian May.

One of, if not the, only band where each member had written a #1 hit song. This catalog is deep, "Death on Two Legs," "Spread Your Wings," "Get Down Make Love," "Now I'm Here," "It's Late," "March of the Black Queen/Funny How Love Is", "Fat Bottomed Girls", "Sail Away Sweet Sister", "Sheer Heart Attack", "Save Me" (probably my favorite Queen song) and of course "Bohemian Rhapsody" to name a few.

One of the best driving songs ever. There's always another gear in that gearbox when don't stop me now is blasting out.

Fred's fantastic. I have a Freddie crush since I was 7 years old. I'm now 51 😂😍

The Show Must go on official video. I want it all. Also there is a whole tribute concert after he passed. Many great artists paying tribute to Freddie. Also he did a whole album with Monsterrat Cabelle, an opera singer. Song is Barcelona! I like most of their songs and yes make you feel good! Something we all need!

Go girl nothing like Queen music. It's a huge rabbit hole.

Somebody to Love, live in Montreal is the best video ever recorded. Give Queen a listen.

If you truly going down the Queen rabbit hole, I'm going with you! I've been a Queenie for 47 years and I absolutely love it when Queen is discovered for the first time. Freddie and the boys will have your heart and soul within 3 songs or less! Queen is the best band ever to grace the stage and Freddie Mercury is the greatest frontman! Let's Do It. 🌈👑💙 edit- Have you listened to "Bohemian Rhapsody with headphones? "

Two of my favourite live performances of earlier Queen songs with great videos are: White Queen - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 1975, and You Take My Breath Away - Live at Hyde Park, 1976

Nice reaction and glad that you are reacting to Queen. A laughed at your comment about Freddie playing the piano with one hand. I'm sure by the end you realized they were miming to the album track. Brian can also be seen playing rhythm guitar at times when no rhythm guitar is being played. They all hated miming - and you see in many of their videos when they've been compelled to do this, Freddie intentionally doing things to make sure everyong knew that they were not playing live, like signing with no mic near his mouth. This is great song to include in your workout playlist!

YAY!!!!! QUEEN, THE BEST BAND EVER!!! FREDDIE MERCURY, THE BEST FRONTMAN EVER, TOO You're gonna love this "rabbit hole". They are perfection!!

I'm realizing what a perfect song this is for you to begin your Queen journey. It frames what's yet to come perfectly. I mean, you're going to have a ball. There are some serious and sad songs, of course. But with this as your entry point, you're set with an understanding that they're all about lifting us up. (Btw, my very first concert was Queen, on their Night at the Opera tour. I feel so lucky to have experienced them in their absolute heyday. Freddie was on FIRE!)

You must've heard - at least in passing - some of Queen's greatest hits, so I'd strongly recommend their legendary 1985 Live Aid performance that's become famous as "20 minutes that changed the history of music", completely destroyed the competition and heralded their IMHO best (and sadly, last) phase. And after that, pretty much any song of their 1986 Wembley show would be a good follow-up.

Pure magic from Freddie as always. Brain May's guitar sounds like nothing else, his father and him made that guitar using wood from a fireplace mantel and the family dinning table and he also uses a coin as a plectrum.

Brian May on lead guitar is a musical genius ... and a 'rocket scientist' of sorts.

If you are going to start reacting to the music of Queen please prepare plenty of room on your playlists. Queen has so much great music - you are in for a ride!! A few suggestions? "White Queen" at the Odeon Hammersmith, "Love of my Life" both studio album cut and live at Wembley 86, "Nevermore", "Bicycle Races". "Death On Two Legs", "'39", "The Night Comes Down", "Tenement Funster", "Lily of the Valley", "Father To Son", "She Makes Me", "Bring Back Leroy Brown", "Seaside Rendezvous" and so many more!!!! I envy you as you begin on this journey of discovery!!

Crazy little thing called love is another great song to listen to

Freddie mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Stone Town, Zanzibar, on September 5, 1946.

This song has been voted the, or one of the, happiest songs ever. Fr. Your reaction captured it beautifully.😀

Welcome to the rabbit hole that is QUEEN Please do a reaction to the live aid concert It is amazing

Hi Stacey, I've just discovered your channel and I'm subscribed. Yes! It's fantastic you're starting your journey down the Queen rabbit hole :) Queen are the GOAT'S and my favourite band. So many styles and that's just in any given song! Yeah, their harmonies are one of the bands' hallmarks and they sound incredible. I love this song, it's a real feel good tune, i loved your reaction to it and it was Freddie's tribute to rock n roll - the style of music he and the band grew up listening to. Freddie is the best frontman ever, his character personality and charisma is unmatched. Queen's studio stuff is awesome, but their live career is even better! I highly recommend you react to Queen's Somebody To Love, live in Montreal 1981 - the best rendition of that song in the 9 years they performed it. And their immortal 20 minute Live Aid set in 1985 is essential react-to material. Please do that soon. I'll look forward to your further Queen reactions :) Have a nice day.

This video was fun to watch, and what a great song! If you're just now cracking open Queen, DO NOT miss the live version of "Somebody To Love." One of the best versions on KZfaq, in my opinion both performance wise and video quality, is "Queen - Somebody To Love - HD Live - 1981 Montreal." Of course, as has been mentioned, his iconic concert at Wembley Stadium in 1986 is one of the most famous, along with Live Aid in 1985. As a self proclaimed "Music Junkie," I believe Queen to be one of the best and certainly most powerful rock bands ever. If you JUST react to the top songs suggested by your viewers, it'll be a long and incredible journey. The term "Rabbit Hole" is applicable. Keep up the great reactions, and glad you're expanding your musical repertoire. Best wishes from Seattle.

You need to watch Queen at Live Aid. The 20 minute set is widely regarded as the best concert in history.

What a way to work a crowd!!! He was one of a kind... talented showman like no other. Hope you sharpened your shovel 'cause Queen's rabbit hole is Deep!!! So glad you started with this one... you'll eventually make your way over to "Bohemian Rhapsody"... but they've done so much more.

Just a stage full of absolute legends. The energy is just unbelievable.

You're gonna love Queen! Brian May, the guitarist, is also an astrophysicist, the chancellor at university in Liverpool and actively helps with NASA projects. Super intelligent

I honestly think this is one of the greatest songs ever made. Seeing you hearing this for the first time was a real treat. Thank you

Queen has a library of great songs as long as your arm, amazing musicians they all are.

Really solid musicians in a rock group without evil drama. You can like them all through their rock journeys. Each is a different sort of songwriter, often surprising listeners. Pretty fearless in going after what they wanted to do. Yes, there are the big hits but gems that deserve more attention too. Gotta visit 70s Queen with LIAR & STONE COLD CRAZY live at the Rainbow 1974 to appreciate the spectrum of their sound into the 80s-early 90s. Big, bold, sassy & classy!

Freddie Mercury was a HUGE lover of cats. He had several. He even had a song on the last Queen album released while he was alive about one of his cats called ‘Delilah’. This popped into my head seeing you w/ your 🐱 there at the end.

QUEEN=PERFECTION!!!

With Queen the studio covers may be technically better sound but seeing them live performing is a totally higher level of great.One of those groups that need to be seen in concert.

Excellent reaction. I was brought up on rock music. You can never get enough of Queen. Freddie Mercury owns the stage. He is one of the best performers.

All four band members wrote massive hits 3 of the 4 sang (and could be lead singers in any other band) The harmonies were so unique and Brian May (guitarist) pioneered guitar orchestration in many of their songs The hits are overplayed but The deep cuts (particularly from the 1970s) is THE stuff!! Being a huge fan of their 70s stuff may I suggest Good old fashion lover boy You & I You take my breathe away Teo Toriatte Spread your wings Jealousy You’re my best friend Death in two legs Killer Queen The Show must go on Innuendo March of the Black Queen Many others! And trust me, a big fan from the 70s of this group Do the studio versions or official videos The harmonies really shine on those vs the live versions Keep diggin!!

Live aid is a must!!! Watch, also bohemian rhapsody amazing and very different, miss you freddie.

As far as Vibe and energy goes, the companion piece to this song is Keep Yourself Alive from their first album. Play those two tracks back to back, and you are ready to run a 4-minute mile before breakfast.

Oh hey, first time Queen. It is my favorite band since childhood. I remember my sister made a huge graffiti painting of Queen on my wall in my room. It was also the first concert I’ve ever been to when I was 11 years old. Also check out “Somebody to Love” live at Montreal 1981. ❤❤

Never the same flavor twice! Queen one, Queen two and Night at the opera, I would recommend nearly every track! March of the Black Queen is arguably the most DOWN N DIRTY rock n roll you’ll ever need to hear! SO MUCH HARMONY ON ALL THESE!!!!!

He is the greateat of all time. So many people do not realize it is Queen....he has a 5 octave voice

This was my wedding song. Im from Sweden but got married in NYC City Clerk Office

All you need to see is Somebody to Love from Queen Rock Montreal ‘81. Best song performance of all time. And the best concert of all time, even better than Live Aid… yes I said what I said

An underrated song of theirs, Don't Try Suicide, has a wicked bass-line. Keep Yourself Alive is another to check out. The entire Highlander soundtrack is also Queen, notables from that are One Vision, Hammer To Fall, and Who Wants To Live Forever.

A group of Psychiatrists recently did a study of songs that have a positive impact on human psychology. Of all the songs that have a distinct psychological reaction on the human mind, Don't Stop Me Now was determined to be the best feel good song of them all.

Great harmonies in this song with the drive behind it make it a real foot tapper.

Amazing band, such great songs! Always will love forever! ❤

My friends in high school would put this on full blast in the car and it was always an adrenaline rush.!

Yayyy you finally started doing Queen! I gave up waiting weeks ago. This song is scientifically proven to be the most euphoric song. Live concerts are the best, but Killer Queen is worth checking out; amongst a whole load of things i could spend hours listing. The key to remember is that, over the course of 15 albums, they cross all genres. Headlong and Stone Called Crazy are heavy metal numbers. Metallica were inspired by Queen and even did a cover version of the latter.

Another great reaction Stacey to the amazing Queen and Freddie . For us of advancing years having grown up in the 60s , 70s and 80s it's like experiencing all these amazing performers you have reacted to for the first time again through you . Thank you 🙂 . Side note... Dire Straits , Dire Straits 😉 🙂 .

Hello Stacey, I just happened to see your channel on my feed just now and found out you are barely listening to QUEEN! Congratulations on your first reaction and It's okay everyone has a first time for everything. You said a mouthful, you are correct in saying Queen's talent IS off the charts, each band member is highly educated, each band member of Queen has written music, created hits, they sing harmonies so well and you will soon learn their music does not fall into one genre, their music goes all over the spectrum of genres, you'll what I mean. I enjoy both studio and live versions of their music, so I hope you consider the studio versions then treat yourself to the live versions. I think reacting to studio versions first would allow you to appreciate how much work they put into recording their music some of their studio videos appear like they are at a concert when actually it is a stage, they set up to look like they are performing live and then you can treat yourself to those videos of Queen playing live in front of a large audience, that are totally awesome to watch, they really do put on a great show! This was a good song to start off with and I am glad to see you enjoyed this song as much as we do! "Somebody to Love" written by Freddie and is a masterpiece, Bohemian Rhapsody" written by Freddie, another masterpiece, as well as "Radio Ga Ga" written by Roger Taylor (Drummer/ vocals), "Hammer to Fall" written by Brian May (guitarist/vocals), "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" written by Freddie, "We Will Rock You" written by Brian May, "We are the Champions" written by Freddy, "Another one bites the dust" written by the bassist John Deacon, "Your my best friend" also by John Deacon, "I Want to Break Free" also by John Deacon. Some songs I mentioned here purposefully because some of those songs do appear on the 1985 Live Aid benefit concert where many artist and bands would perform to help raise money and awareness for the famine crisis then taking place in Ethiopia and Queen stole the show that day they performed so I think it would be good of you to react to those songs individually first so you would recognize them when you react to the Live Aid Concert of 1985, it is about 20 minutes or just a tiny bit over 20 minutes depending on which version of that concert you get, because your viewers have already suggested that concert too. The songs I listed for that concert begins with Brohemian Rhapsody and ends with We are the Champions" I enjoyed your video reaction to this song, it was great, well done! Peace. ☮

Queen is one of the all time greatest bands ever! This was a perfect sort of "soft introduction" to their musical brilliance, now that you've been introduced to them, you should do 'Bohemian Rhapsody' next! Unless you already heard it of cours, I find it hard to believe that you have not, it's such a famous song!

Queen was a band that never wanted to find a niche and stick with it. They innovated and experimented throughout their run. But, no matter what form their music took you could recognize Queen instantly. If you really want to see Queen in their element, especially Freddie, look for any live performances. Freddie lived for the fans and watching him interact with his audience will amaze you because they return that love to him.

So glad to see Queen! You have probably heard most of the songs already, but it's awesome to revisit them, really enjoyed this reaction.

The guitarist Brian May also has a PhD Astrophysics

The song represented how Freddie felt when performing.

You mentioned Freddie’s vocal dynamics…definitely vocal mastery. His genius played a major part in their success as a band. (An obvious statement) Queen was brilliant at creating music, that was dramatic, driven, creative and dynamic.

One of these songs that a lot of people hate... just because it is so popular, one of their first "pop" songs compared to their earlier heavy and prog rock music, and gets an incredible airplay around the planet. But if you don't know it so well, you realized how much power and diversity is in this song - your reaction is the clear proof of how good the song actually is.

Wow love your take on this incredible uplifting song. Great workout song!

P.S. Freddie was a cat lover too. He even wrote a song called Delilah for one of his beloved cats. 😻

Definetly in my top 5 rock bands of all time. So glad I got to experience this greatness in concert!

My goodness, Bohemian Rhapsody the official video (studio version) is the #1 Queen first. All their songs are different, great, they’re all absolutely fabulous on their instruments and musicality, it’ll be a great journey if you travel it. Many Queenies on KZfaq. We still love them and miss Freddie and I think we always will. It Elmo’s to see the newer generation get to know and live their sic. Live Aid, the whole concert in 1985 (their set 20 minutes) is the best live show ever, according to a whole lot if people. Their Montreal concert in 1981 is classic and another one of the best (Somebody To Love is the most watched). Every performance at Wembly, all the concerts they did there, are legendary. Plus anythinglive from their world tours. Thank you for this!

Ahhh, Queen. Yes, a rabbit hole that never ends. All other commenters will give song suggestions to follow this first song. Good pick. Other songs will give you different styles of al the rest of the band members.

You say this is a fun song because you've watched this video, especifically; but, from the day I watched another video to this song on, I've been always feeling so sad whenever I hear it, for at the ending of that other video, when music is getting slower and Freddie's voice is fading away, all we can see is the image of an empty stage, with microphone shown in its foreground; no one standing there to sing. I can't help remembering those times when I was a teenager and used to watch music videos on TV and Freddie was on top of his career. By the way, Queen used to produce quite good official music videos; so, I recommend some of them for you: "A kind of magic"; "I want to break free"; "One vision"; "Innuendo".

Hi! 65+ y.o. Brit. Bought my first Queen record at 18 and been a fan ever since. Glad you're going down the rabbit hole.

Excellent video! Both the beginning and end of this song make me so emotional! It's so good.

You won't regret going down this particular rabbit hole. Also, it'll bring Queen fans flooding to these videos ;)

I simply can't wait till you reach the second era of their music. Radio GaGa and the Highlander soundtrack etc.. For me growing up listening to Queen, is split between Greatest Hits album parts I & II and ending with Highlander etc... and his Montserrat Caballé duet- Barcelona P.S. You'll cry when you watch their finally Music video. You can see how ill he was.. It breaks my heart everytime I watch it.

Queen was a great band and Freddie was a great front man! His energy made that band, although all of the members were vital elements in their own right. If you want to listen to some amazing musical work, check out Rush. Three guys make SO much music that you will be amazed. I guarantee it!

I love your journey! Queen is my favorite band, I carry them on my skin. I love them so much I went first to last album, top to bottom, listening to every single song they have, and let me tell you, there are some GEMS not many people know about. My best recommendation is hard to pick, but I would love to watch you react to a little song called "Innuendo", I think you'll enjoy that one, cheers!

This is a music video using the studio version playing over the filming of them. To hear them truly listen to somebody to love from Queen rocks Montreal 1981.

Maybe the best motivational song ever. Whenever a person stands in front of a challenge he should play this.

welcome to Queen. more pls. you won't be disappointed

A university created a program for the purpose of determining the happiest song ever recorded. They put in over 100 criteria to rate the songs and ran thousands of songs through it. This was determined to be the happiest song ever. Your reaction was spot on. Listening to this song will heal any broken heart, get you out of the Lazy BOY and drive your productivity. It is impossible to not feel better after hearing it!

Love that song! And Queen too. Welcome to that band:)

Welcome to the world of Queen. You must now watch the Live Aid performance then the studio version of Somebody to Love.

Having a good time 😁

Freddie, Brian and Roger did the lead singer roles at any time. Brian and Roger have amazing voices.

What a wonderful reaction. You nailed it in every way possible. Thank you so much.just want to say hello from southern Indiana. Pretty lady keep them coming.

Got this one as the phone ring tone,such a happy song 😊❤

Queen have so many songs that you can react to. All four members had number 1 hits, so there is such a massive variety of musical styles. Queen were always a hit factory. They produced so many good songs the band evolved greatly over there 40+ year career. Great songs include Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, Tie Your Mother Down, Somebody to Love, Hammer to Fall, Radio Ga Ga, We are the Champions, A Kind of Magic, and countless more. Queen are so ingrained in music culture, listen to more Queen and I bet you will recognise a few songs. Notable performances: Queen at Live Aid, Queen Live at Wembley, Queen in Montreal, Queen Live in Budapest, and more. Queen were so amazing live, I just wish I could have seen the original line-up. R.I.P Freddie a legendary vocalist, arguably the greatest front man of all time! The lead guitarist Brian May was the reason I picked up a guitar. I really hope you react to more Queen, you will not be disappointed!

There is a lot of top earlier songs from bohemian rhapsody time, White Queen, March of the black Queen, Brighton rock and Prophets song are my favourites

Never ready for that song to end.

His voice is almost operatic. He could have been an opera singer. Queen the band is sometimes hidden in the shadow of a giant like Freddy but they were one of the greatest rock "bands" of all time and Freddy was blessed with having them to give him the support a great performer needs. RIP Mr. Fahrenheit!!

In 1977 I got my girlfriend tickets for her birthday QUEEN at the old BOSTON GARDEN row 22 on the floor. Floor. Freddie Mercury was absolutely amazing.. As the crowd goes louder he got better....her 17 birthday.
