I think it’s kind of easy, in the age of autotune, to dismiss the genius of a band like Queen and the virtuosity of Freddy Mercury. We just assume that it is done with smoke and mirrors, and that everything gets fixed in post-production. Every Victoria’s Secret model is flawless and each note on Glee is pitch perfect. Since we know that such a level of performance is not common, we assume that it is not real.
And a lot of the time it’s a safe assumption. Except for Kurt, of course, those Glee kids are a bunch of hacks. I’ve never seen a Victoria’s Secret model on the street (not that I’ve given up looking.) That makes it a bit unsettling to see Freddy and the boys do something like play the hell out of “Bohemian Rhapsody” live. Yeah, I mean the song from “Wayne’s World.”
I dare any artist performing today to try to take on that song. Even if Josh Groben could hit the notes, could he absolutely control a stadium of 65,000 people? I think not. Watching someone so obviously talented and disciplined and using a tremendous ability up to and beyond its capacity is thrilling. It makes me want to be spectacular too.
yeah but his teeth are really wacked out.
No doubt! Those things are HUGE!
