8/10 Very good, probably the closest I have heard to Freddie's voice, but not quite there in terms of octave range or "fullness" of sound.

Just watched the original, kinda pushes the other video to 7/10ish, but I guess the official Queen track has the benefit of multitrack and various studio effects, so I'll stay with 8/10.

Never liked Keane but this is really, really good. If you close your eyes it could almost be Freddy!

Similar thoughts here, but after having listened to the original a few times, Freddy really was one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. Truly stunning.
