The "Glee" version is wonderful, but oh man, Freddie Mercury still gives me chills.

Thanks for the Freddie Mercury link, Karen. Always wanted to hear Queen live but for some reason, never did. What a voice. What a loss. As I often do when great talent leaves our world too soon, I wonder what they'd be doing today if they had lived.

There are few, if any, bloggers who induce me to actually click on a link...especially to a video. But you Karen, Queen of Scrabble, grabbed me with Grammar Nazi and swung me around, throwing me to the ground with Somebody to Love. Brilliant!

Wouldn't have thought you a Queen fan (why, I don't know) but I *love* the link. Freddie Mercury consistently makes my list of best singers ever. (Could I be more emphatic with my superlatives? I'm laying off the exclamation marks in the hopes you take me seriously...) Thanks for that link! A truly astounding song.

In truth, I was never a Queen fan -- never owned a single Queen album -- although of course I knew all their hits just from listening to the radio. But as I got older, I gained a true appreciation for Freddie, who was indeed one of the best vocalists of all time. This particular track just mesmerizes me -- the lyrics, and the way he sings it. I've been watching it over and over lately.
