Live Aid........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbvyNnw8Qjg


I don't know but it's worth it just to see a Freddie video again.

Kid is cool. There was and never will be an artist as good and as courageous as Freddie. Musically, personally and otherwise he was fearless and among the best musicians we will see in our lifetimes.

Freddy was once in a lifetime.

This kid is talented but the closest resemblance I saw to Freddy was the pronounced overbite.

Wow. Thanks for sharing this - I hadn't seen it before. Coincidentally, I just watched Bohemian Rhapsody last night. With some development and coaching, this kid could be incredible.

Totally agree Jesse

I would put Michael side by side with FM, as the two best in my lifetime

Apparently Freddie’s overbite and arched palate contributed to his unique sound.

Correct! He actually refused suggestions from record execs to have his overbite fixed (so he would look more marketable) for fear of how it would affect his range.

Yeah, looks like him, but he's not a very good singer right now, but he's young.

Not a bad impression, for a lad of his age.

Come back though, when you can write, compose, arrange and perform for two hours and keep your audience jumpin'....wanting more!
God Bless Freddie.


Hope the kid does well.

This is what uncritical parental praise can lead to. Top notch light entertainment!

And being from Germany, I assume that English isnt his first language. That is a feat in itself.
