No Auto-Tune. No fancy punch-ins using Pro Tools. No complicated compilation edits. Just Freddie Mercury doing his thing. Listen to the decisions he makes when it comes to breathing, phrasing and dynamics. Amazing.

This very post is the reason why “saved you a click” is a thing. Drivel that provides little upside to the video and only serves to delay the consumption of content.

Brent, what in the hell are you talking about? A headline and all of one sentence to explain the video was made in the post. To be honest, your comment is drivel; a sad attempt to make yourself look superior to someone else while really looking like a fool
