What a voice, what a showman.
The best singer. Queen!!!!!
I believe Depp will do him well.
He really was THE BEST !!! I beleve nobody could ever replace Freddie…
i am very curiouse to see the movie about him. i want to see what aspect of his life will be illustrated. freddie was the best and the bigger in anything and everything.
Great road trip with freddie and my son last year from LA to Bay area.
theres a movie about him????
nobody can replace freddie. he was an excellent showman, an amazing singer, AND he designed the Queen logo! god takes the best ones too soon >:(
I miss him…..
Probably the best singer and frontman in the history of popular music. Massive range, huge vocal power, and versatility, charisma, showmanship, dude had it all.
Yes what a great loss. I love his voice on Another One Bites The Dust… so rock and funky…;)
He was great, no one can compare… he truly cared about his fans too.
Without doubt the greatest showman in rock music. Absolutely peerless, he had a voice like nobody else that could express both power and deep sentiment. But that wasn’t all, he was a genius songwriter with a broad range being able to write both sensuous love songs and raging, soaring power rock. To top it all off he was an amazing frontman who could hold an entire audience in the palm of his hand and leave them feeling they’d just seen the greatest show on earth.
We miss him…
Tantive couldn't have explained it any better.
Why the hell are people saying he is the best guitarist ever? He did 3 chords over and over again in Crazy Little Thing Called Love, that's it.
Brian May is a very good guitarist, but he still can't touch Steive or Johnson.
Freddie Mercury's voice is unique. Songs like Bohemian Rhapsody or Killer Queen will rock forever and ever!
FREDDIE IS THE BEST SINGER OFF ALL TIMES!!
WE LOVE FREDDIE!
freddie is the best singer and always will b-no 1 can compare to him!!!!!
I did a remix of Living On My Own to be released on Central Station Records (Australia) in 2008
check it out here: www.myspace.com/jameskane
I LOVE FREDDIE!
The greatest performer of all time!!!
