  1. You really need to take Teresa May off your video blogs at the side of your page as I cxannot get past her to see what others are saying and I CANNOT listen to this clearly homophobic racist, sexist woman in order to do so!!!!

    1. Theresa May is an evil woman. She does not deserve the title minister for equality, I could not agree with you more!

  2. From what I saw, it wasn’t a ‘duet’.

    There was Freddie Mercury singing and shown on the screens before it was taken over entirely by Jessie J.

    As much as Jessie J has a fantastic voice, I thought they should have kept it with Freddie Mercury singing throughout.

  3. Fantastic show

    Loved bringing Freddie and John Lennon into it.

    Jessie J was a surprise choice to sing with the remaining Queen but pulled it off

  4. Freddie was amazing. Jesse J wasn’t

    1. It was possibly the wrong place for Jessie J.

      The prospect of Freddie virtually playing alongside Queen was irresistible, but then Jessie J, not ‘duetting’ but intervening was a disappointment.

      1. Agreed they should have played Freddie throughout. I was also surprised there was no Elton John

  5. Nobody seems to know what a ‘hologram’ is these days… A video of Tupac reflected in glass (a technique developed in the 19th century) is not a hologram. A video screen is not a hologram.

      My thoughts too. Except video and Tupac were not around in the 19th century, but I know what you mean.

      Please state the nature of the musical emergency.

  6. It wasn’t exactly a hologram was it but still very good to see Freddie whipping up the crowd with his ‘Day-O’ routine.

    1. That was fantastic. But to see Freddie whip up the crowd, for the benefit of Jessie J whilst he is shunted into the background is terrible. He should have been kept on throughout.

    The footage wasnt taken from Live Aid, it a 1986 Wembley concert…..great to see him ‘there’ if not a little sad

  9. While they clearly borrowed the idea from the Elvis: The Concert production it’s a pity they didn’t do the whole Virtual Elvis route with Freddie, and actually have him sing a song while his band played live with him.

    Hologram? It was a simple LED projection.
    And it wasn’t a duet either.

    What a crap piece of journalism.
    this rag is turning more into the Daily mail by the day with it’s sensationalist twaddle.

  11. I missed that part…I came in when Jessie J started to sing. Enjoyed it, but must agree that just having Freddie would have been much better!

    I love Queen and really miss Freddie leading the group. He had an incredible voice!

  12. I must admit given that nobody cam on an interrupted the playing of John Lennon singing Imagine..Why did they have to have Jessie J come in and take over from Freddie? To me it was somewhat rude really. I love Jessie J, but as I said before, I would have much prefered to have Freddie sing with the guys.

    And am I right in thinking that John Deacon was missing from the Queen line up?

    21 years after his untimely death, Freddie Mercury can still perform to a full stadium. That man was a phenominam and his passing in 1991 was one of the greatest losses in the history of popular music along with Elvis Preseley, John Lennon and Michael Jackson.
