Topic: Think you can sing like Freddie Mercury?

You lose.

Oh, I lose.  Yeah, no doubt.  I thought you were going to link a funny vid.  That was really good.

He sounds almost exactly like him.  Creepy!

Weird mic, though.  Haha.

All he needs to now is grow out that mustache to true Freddie levels.  Best of luck to him.

[Cools!]

Yeah, he sounds like him a lot. The sceptic in me can't help but wonder if his performance was somewhat "aided" in post (his pitch matches Mercury's almost perfectly - I checked ).

Weird mic, though.  Haha.

It's a Shure SM7B; popular with voiceover artists and rapers. Good mic control by the guy as well, it's pretty challenging to move a mic around like that without introducing handling noise, not to mention keep it at the right distance so the voice level stays relatively the same. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if his performance went through a bit of post work to clean all that stuff.

rapers.

haha, really?

[scottws]

Well the shape of the mic is conducive to that sort of thing.

I wonder if this means that kid will die from AIDS?

[Xessive]

A little more stache and that dude can start an impressive Freddie Mercury imitator career!
