Singers with phrasing/technique similar to Freddie's

Of course its been documented he was influenced by him.
Especially in some ballads he carries a simillar dramatic/epic quality.
For example in Mothers Pride tha AAA's and OOO's (especially the high notes) and falsetto are so Freddie IMO.
George Michael - Mothers Pride

There is only one Freddie.

06.04.2015 14:06		 I just squeezed a trump out of my anus that was more Freddie like than Roger 'shit at singing I Want It All' Daltrey and George 'lets re record all the instruments and my vocal on Somebody to Love at the Freddie tribute concert' Michael.

I'm not even comparing Daltrey's performance of I Want It All to Freddie's. I am referring to the gritty / rough approach Daltrey used in Who Are You. Freddie used a similar approach in I Want It All.

06.04.2015 14:41		 Ok... so you are not comparing the same song that both of them sang........ right...... :/

Yes, as weird as that may sound to you. I'm comparing the particular performances not their voices in general.

Those "thank you, thank you, (aaaa)i want to thank you"(from 3:45 onwards) is very Freddie!

07.04.2015 18:05		 I second Leo Sayer. I've always wondered what it would sound like if he sang one of Freddie's songs.

Close - but I actually don't think he'd be able to pull off a Queen song and sound convincing.
