I love this song (the original). It's one of my favourite songs ever. This version is just okay. I actually liked the MCR/The Used version of this song from back in the mid 2000s, lol.

Also, it's really interesting to listen to this song back when it was just a Queen demo called "Feel Like."

That cover STAYS underrated. Gerard & Bert were truly the perfect people to pull that off together idc what anyone says it was perfff all around. I'm forever sad their friendship went so sour. Now that Bert's been sober for so many years I wish he & Gerard would reconcile. I know Gerard still cares about him but who knows if Bert is still harboring some bitter feels.

Have you ever listened to the isolated vocals version of the original? It's pretty amazing.

Lol I'm a huge Queen fan but I can definitely jam to the MCR/The Used cover too.

I really like it, Shawn is totally underrated as a vocalist. I would be really interested in new music from Teddy, I revisited her debut album and it's A++.

My sister was so obsessed with For You I Will, I would hear it like 50 times a day XD

underrated

that's because he sucks. he seems very sweet and kind but his voice is terrible.

[ionadelfina]

Stop, he's got a great voice. Why don't you like it?

I was bopping to the acoustic guitar intro, but then the Junior Timberlake vocals kicked in… 🙉

Mte!

This sounds like something that would be over a rom-com trailer about a woman who is great at her job but terrible at life.

Yeah, it does have kind of a “Solsbury Hill”/“Let My Love Open the Door” vibe now that you mention it

Now I want him to cover The Cranberries’ “Dreams” so we can have the most romcom song ever

Ehh... Not the worst Queen cover out there and the instrumental is actually pretry cool, but Shawn's lower register doesn't work with this song, it's too thin and lacks strenght. The high parts were better but nothing impressive.

Soda Stereo's Algún Día stays my favorite Queen cover. And I still wait for the day Gaga gives me a good, vocally demanding Queen cover, not Another One Bites the Dust.
