FREDDIE VS. FRANKIE

Frank Sinatra,aka "The Voice".Well,do you think Sinatra was better singer than Mercury?I know they were from different styles,but I talk about their vocal's reaching and power.In my opinion,who must be remembered as "The Voice" is Freddie.For examples for voice power listen to "Machines" or "In the Lap of the Gods" in Wembley'86 or the "New York" demo.What do you think? |

The difference between Frank & Freddie was mainly that Frank would pronounce all the words clearly as Freddie had some times some problems to pronounce... |

And I thought this was going to be about Frankie Goes To Hollywood... :/ |

As far as I can see he was very flexible in pronouncing, for example in the march of the black queen.. or fairy fellers master stroke.. |

You know what, i think it´s not that important wether people consider Freddie or Frank the "Voice", because in the end they were both loved as singers. In my opinion Christmas wouldn't be the same withou Frank Sinatra singing "Let it snow" and other classics, but Freddie is still my favourite. Take care |

(yeah, better the fucking Elvis as well). |

Diference: Frank = never write a word (only sing), baritone, many "influential" friends and I hate his voice Freddie = great lyrics, baritone-Tenorissimo (4 scales), many good work and I love his beautiful voice |
| Nandeke 26.09.2005 13:43 |
I believe the Freddie supposed problems for a good pronunciation might be for his living in Zanzibar and India.However,this topic it is not about pronunciation... My respects to Sinatra,but he never was better singer than Freddie.Listen to Mother Love and enjoy his hability to sing in low and high tones.Frank always sung in the same level.WE CAN FINISH WITH THERE NEVER WILL BE ANOTHER FREDDIE MERCURY AND FRANK SINATRA. ah!by the way,xmas it's no the same without "Thank God it's Christmas". |

Ahem...The only person I've ever heard referred to as "The Voice" is Tom Jones, and that hip cat ain't dead. |

One thing i thing it´s ridiculous with Queenzoners is that they never miss an opurtunity to slam another artist in comparision with a queen member. Have you guys tried to listen to music without pre-conceived ideas? Because wether you like it or not, Freddie was not the only one who could sing or could bring tears to peoples eyes. And in my opinion it´s ridiculous to try to find anything in Frank that suports the idea of him not being as great as Freddie. He was that great but in another context, the same way freddie could never be that good in Frankie's context. Take care |

I grew up listening to Frank. Thanks to Sid Marks & "Sundays w/ Sinatra", I knew his entire catalog by the age of 8 before I even heard of Queen. Is one better than the other? No. I feel both are the best of their times. No one came close to Frank in the 40's, 50's or 60's. Except maybe Nat King Cole & Sammy Davis Jr. No one came close to Freddie throughout his career, & in 14 years since his passing no one can still match Freddie. I've always felt it was a damn shame Freddie wasn't around to be a part of Frank's Duets albums of the 90's. He would have been amazing on it. Also, since Frank was into covering contemproary musical acts of the day, ie; The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkle, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel to name a few. I always wanted Frank to cover an arrangement of My Melancholy Blues. It is a "saloon song" in the truest sense. Right up Franks alley along side Angle Eyes & One More For My Baby. If you don't know these songs, I suggest you check them out. |

I'm surprised no one mentioned how similar Freddie's and Frankie's singing career went. Both started out with higher youthful voice and developed booming powerful voices later. Funny... I don't know if anyone mentioned that honestlky because I didn't read through all the damn posts. |
| Daburcor? 15.05.2006 18:05 |
I've never been a big fan of Sinatra. |
