Guy Sounds Just Like Freddie Mercury
I didn't say he didn't do a good job or that he didn't do the song justice. I just said he doesn't sound like Freddie. If I'd heard only the audio, I would've known it was NOT Freddie Mercury singing.

>> There's nothing wrong with MilkmanDan's ears my friend. Being a singer who has had to cover many different vocal styles myself and has also heard this song as well as most other Queen song many, many times, I listened to the two comparatively and I'm sorry to tell you but he's about as spot on as you can get without being Freddy himself.

I've heard this song SO many times that every nuance of it is imprinted perfectly in my memory. This guy does a pretty decent job but, he still misses the mark for sounding like Freddie. There are parts where he's really close but, mostly his voice is too "breathy". Very good attempt though!
Get your ears checked, MilkmanDan

1) First, to my ear it is just so spot on that it seems almost unbelievable.

There's nothing wrong with MilkmanDan's ears my friend. Being a singer who has had to cover many different vocal styles myself and has also heard this song as well as most other Queen song many, many times, I listened to the two comparatively and I'm sorry to tell you but he's about as spot on as you can get without being Freddy himself. The main difference that I can hear between this guy's recording and the video you submitted is studio effects/mix. I'm sure this guy doesn't know exactly what effects were used during the recording so he did the best he could. I think Queen should hire his ass pronto and start touring.

I can't believe anyone would mistake this for the original. He is, indeed, very good but lacks the power and energy of Freddy Mercury. He is too mellow, especially at the beginning (it does pick up some). However, he is definitely damn good.

If anyone deserves to be reincarnated, it's Freddie Mercury.

Those were my thoughts exactly so I too went to find the studio version to compare to--and this is not that (http://youtu.be/aPMwMLS6zx4). One obvious place is during the guitar solo, which does not have a voice over in the original, but also there are many small phrasing differences and inhalations that are not the same. Very impressive. I do wonder where his backing track is coming from though; anybody who would pick this song to sing at a karaoke bar must have balls of steel (and a vice to clamp them in).

I upvoted under the assumption that he was singing that himself ... ... ... ... edit - OK, I listened to the studio recording and there are enough small (tiny!) differences in a few areas that I'm tending to think that this is for real, and he just really is that good... Impressive!
