I've just listened to Sam Ryder singing it and it's very nice.. But, in my opinion, not as good as Freddie. No-one is as good as Freddie, not even Adam Lambert who does have a spectacular voice.
I love Queen. I loved the late , great, Freddie. I also love the Badger - hero, guitar-maestro astro-physisist Brian May. I like Sam Ryder. I am , however , devastated to say that " Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song I detest..... Off to the bunker. (I also hate "Total Eclipse of the Heart"......)
Who doesn't love Brian's guitar solos......... ๐๐๐ OH and I saw the Queen stage show at the Dominion more years ago than I can remember...... So many old (er) people dancing in their seats..... ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I love Bohemian Rhapsody. Reminds me of when my son was 11 at secondary school. The music teacher was given a bet that she could not get a choir of boys to do this song justice. She took the bet on. The boys practiced and the night we went, they had parents looking round the school. The song was performed even better than she anticipated, the parents were all on their feet at the end and the applause was deafening. I remember tears rolling down my face, it was a experience I will never forget.
I love the song and Queen, I remember when it was released and how long it stayed in the charts - I listened to Sunday night chart rundown on the radio most weeks back in 1975.
Agree Sam Ryder and BBC concert Orchestra cover is brilliant. Anybody that wants to watch/listen it's on Brian May's website
