Does he have the range for it?  Not many vocalists can match Freddie Mercury's, and Bohemian Rhapsody uses more of it than a lot of Queen's songs.

Oh yeah.....Adam Lambert sang Bohemian Rhapsody on American Idol, and was amazing.  This isn’t that performance, but him with Queen.

It doesn't seem like he was actually singing the really high parts (the Galeleio and the "for me" parts). That sounded like Freddie Mercury.

I remember reading an article before the movie came out that stated the band had never actually preformed the entire song live, it was too complex to do live so they had only preformed parts of the song live in concert.

I was 100% whelmed by Adam Lambert, but the band was amazing.

And all of the Green Book jokes on Twitter are making my day.  Jemele Hill's tweet and all the replies are a delightful summary/collection.

And I’m 100% ok with Bradley Cooper getting snubbed for the rest of his life. That sniper movie he made should have doomed his career but Hollywood don’t care.

It was ALSO nominated for best picture! I refused to see it.

Sorry, last one, this summed it up too spot on for me not to share (& because I’m somewhat embarrassed that it took me reading this tweet to realize- Of Course!):

Green Book is a perfect best picture for a country in denial about where it is, how it got here and what is necessary to change course.
