Songs You Think Freddie Could Have Sung
| FMercuryFan88 24.11.2015 23:32 |
There have been a few instances where I was listening to a song and thought to myself, "This sounds like something Freddie could have sung" or "I would have loved to hear Freddie sing this song." A few examples are The Crying Game by Boy George and Purple Rain by Prince. What songs do you think Freddie would have sounded good singing? |

Since you've been gone - Rainbow, the bridge, "if you will come back, baby you know..............." has Freddie written all over it. |

All those Sinatra duets that came out in the 90's. He could have really shined on one of those tracks. |

Because by The Beatles |

Roger's Happiness Album would have sounded awesome with Freddie's vocals all over them. |

Well, i'm gonna say a song that probably has been the nr 1 mistaken songs of all times (Because people already sometimes think that it WAS Freddie singing it...) THUNDER IN MY HEART! |

GB was around long before Freddie - and never really changed much down the years - he had a couple of minor hits (in a band called The Marbles) long before Freddie even appeared on the rock radarmaster marathon runner wrote: Since you've been gone - Rainbow, the bridge, "if you will come back, baby you know..............." has Freddie written all over it.Its close, and sure the singer tries to act like Freddie in the video ! but back on topic - most of Sabbs' Heaven & Hell album |

He could have done anything. I would have loved to hear him sing Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden link |
| Silken 27.11.2015 14:13 |
He could have sung anything he wanted. Last week I was listening to "When you came into my life" by Scorpions (amazing song/band/singer) and I thought how beautifully Freddie would have sung it. |

Especially melodies and expression between Klaus and Freddie. |

Queen should have done a Christmas Carols album. That would have been awesome. |
| Holly2003 07.12.2015 07:13 |
I'm not sure at all that Fred could have 'sung anything he wanted' -- at least not well. I can't imagine Fred singing in a grunge style. Someone mentioned Black Hole Sun: that would've been terrible! Punk? SHA comes closest, but Fred never had the right type of voice or attitide to sing punk lyrics with any conviction. Blues? I don't think Queen did blues that well. Sleeping on the Sidewalk (Brian on vocals) and Melancholy Blues are probably their best efforts (others, like Lost Opportunity with Brian on vocals, are weak). In short, Fred could sing in many styles, but in some of them not with much authority or very convincingly. Queen may have dabbled with blues, jazz, folk etc., but that's all it was. |

Especially Freddie dug far too deep into different genres with the progressive danger to be more and more preceived as a -pop star- and even as an empty vessel ( the band suffered that "status" too) you could through any art inside and he/they would through out rainbows. But Freddie was a true artist and it almost took the Innuendo album to remind the world that he was that - and only that -and in a glorious way. Not long before his death ,and during those 24 years, Queens status -unique yet strange but finally ultimatly big- was recovered and reinforced both in Rock and Music in general ( yeap, two different things becase they have variation in cultural context) |

Ha ha, I've often thought that Freddie would have made a great Gilbert and Sullivan patter singer. |

You Shook Me - Led Zeppelin The live version of See What A Fool I've Been resembles You Shook Me in a way, and I always wanted to hear Freddie do a blues rock number. |
| Jake12 16.12.2015 12:58 |
Would LOVE to hear a Queen version of Hey You by Pink Floyd |

Alcatrazz/Rainbow - Since You Been Gone, Only one Woman Huge part of hits of Scorpions and Status Quo (for latter "Wanderer" & "RAOTW" come to mind) Almost all songs of Styx (even Love is the Ritual...in manner he used on Miracle album:))) |
