Queen - A - Thon - THE SHOW MUST GO ON - Freddie Mercury - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Tutorial

In “The Show Must Go On” Freddie Mercury was able to muster the strength to put together one last unforgettable, spot-on performance before he passed.

What other legendary performances can you think of that were pulled off in the most unlikely of circumstances? Share with me in the comments.

Brian May was apparently concerned that Freddie would still be able take on the song in his condition but Freddie would put out what I think was one of his better high range vocal performances.

As we look at his isolated vocals we’ll break down the straightforward approach he used for the song and how he literally gave his all for the performance.

Freddie will always have a place in our hearts. ❤️💔

[kaicanyonellis]

The way Freddie sings the line "I can fly my friend..." always shakes me to my core

[BrookeEvangelineWinter]

My favourite lyrics: "Outside the dawn is breaking, but inside in the dark I'm aching to be free".
Chills.

The actual last recording of Freddie singing is the beautiful, heartbreaking "Mother Love" which, after the first 2 verses, Freddie said he wasn't feeling well and would come back and finish it. He never could. So Brian sings the last verse and you can hear the pain and sorrow in his voice. If you've not done that one, check it out. And, btw, I LOVE the long list of Freddie's isolated vocals-- "Under Pressure" being one where there's no other recording of it that showcases Freddie's tremendous power and range. I've suggested some isolated vocals to other reactors and not one has paid any attention. Their loss, but it's a loss for a lot of viewers, too. So thank you for doing this. Love it! And love your videos, Ken.

When he sang the line "the show must go on" in the first chorus I got goosebumps. Incredible power and emotion

[nortski]

For me, the real genius of this song is the way it just keeps building and building to a crescendo.

[gtrulez]

The ending of this song never fails to give me goosebumps! He really gives it all he had still in him! A masterpiece

[woutere]

The fact that Freddy accomplished such an amazing feat with his last strength only made him even more iconic. He was one of the greatest.

[richardbelman]

He’s one of the best vocalist of all time in any

[JudieBoBoodie]

Just like a true artist, he brought us into his life in a way we could comprehend, feels like a close friend, I hold him in my heart and the love is what connects everything. What a gift. Thank you Freddie.

[nielsinelange]

Loved your analysis. Yes, he's one of the best vocalist of all time. LEGEND

[DatBRejectz]

Loved your analysis, I think you are absolutely spot on, on everything.
This song always makes me so emotional.. You can tell he's basically saying, yeah I'm dying and it's becoming more visible, but the show must go on. The fact he could still sing like this so close to the end is insane.
What gets me most is though, it's obvious music was in his soul. Been so sick, most artists would stop singing, but not Freddie and continued until the very end. I remember reading an article with Brian may saying a lot of his last songs he had to have long breaks and lay on the floor because of how sick he was, truly is heart breaking.

[moxyfoxy]

I always looked at this song as Freddie giving us permission to enjoy the new incarnations of Queen after his passing so his sings and legacy could live on.... Such a powerful song that brings tears to my eyes everytime.

[jesseforrest]

Loved these are the days of our lives.

[jimp]

Thank you for showing this fantastic song! Impossible to understand what went on in the studio while recording this song and Freddie laying down the vocals!
Thanks Ken!

[benjimartinnc]

Freddie Mercury still gave it his all despite being terminally ill. His powerful voice will never be forgotten.

[derekmellino]

Get goosebumps every time I hear this song . Freddie was truly one of a kind, otherworldly, we will never see the likes of someone like him ever again. I knew this was his swan song but thank you for this breakdown Ken!

[rob]

OMG, Freddie was an incredibly talented musician and singer, someone that you probably experience once in a

[ramram-tdjl]

For me, the best part of the song is when he sings " I'll face it with a grin, I'm never giving innnn...." just spine chilling stuff!

[shannonyoung]

One of the most honest, sincere, moving & haunting vocal performances of all time.
It’s like I know I’m sick & dying, but I am also Freddie Mercury!!!
If this is truly my final vocal performance, I’m going out with guns/vocals blazing!!!💪💯
