Freddie had the best voice I have ever, or will ever, hear. He is now the lead singer in the choir of angels. God bless, and Godspeed.

Freddie Mercury = legend. Not only did he have the most beautiful voice I have ever, or will ever, hear, he promoted AIDS awareness and was a spectacular guy all around. God bless, and Godspeed. He is the lead singer in the choir of angels.

Freddie KICKED ASS!!! I would make out with him, and I'm a homophobe... We are such a ridiculous species.

The band was named Queen because FREDDIE wanted it to be named so, not any of the others. Because none of the others were gay, they were very intent on making sure that it meant 'majestic' instead of 'homosexual'.

Americans were blessed by the talents of Freddy Mercury.His private life should remain just that,Private.If we as Americans would put as much focus on our government(taking our rights away from us on a daily basis) Maybe we would get our America back and our rights.Who really cares if someone is gay? Maybe we should care more about starvation, child abuse, murderers being released daily,homless people,child molesters being released daily only to ruin or to take another childs life.WOW AMERICA< OPEN YOUR EYES. Care about something we have the ability to fix. Do not worry about someones private right to their sexuality.

I agree with Gary, gay or straight, Freddy Mercury was one of the most talented people to ever grace God's good Earth with his presence.

I never was much of a queen fan. I liked their popular songs but not all. I agree he was one of the greats. Melissa Etheridge is one of my all time favs. She is GREAT in concerts. She is about the only one I know ALL songs she has come out(no pun) with. I wish Mercury was still alive. We have lost soo many greats in the last few years. Now we have songs like" dont you wish your girlfriend was a SLUT like me" Kidding I do like Buttons from PCD
