  • I've heard in my life so far.

  • Awesome! Pure magic.

  • (clang!) - (FBE) Truth!

  • What you just listened to was one of the most

  • famous bands of all time. - Really?

  • - (FBE) And they're called Queen. - Yeah.

  • The last one made me realize it.

  • - Queen? They should be named King... or Boys.

  • - Slay, Queen!

  • Puts a whole new meaning to the term.

  • - (FBE) Queen has sold somewhere between

  • 150 million to 300 million records worldwide.

  • - Wow!

  • - That's a lot of records.

  • - OMG. I can't even think straight.

  • That's so many records.

  • - It's not surprising because Queen is awesome,

  • but still, that's a lot!

  • - (FBE) And, finally, for most of their career,

  • Freddie Mercury fronted the band,

  • but Freddie unfortunately passed away in 1991

  • when he was 45 years old due to complications from AIDS.

  • - Yeah. I didn't know that he died of AIDS, but I knew he died.

  • - (FBE) But he's still considered one of the greatest singers ever.

  • - I agree.

  • - Really? I did not know that.

  • - (FBE) After listening to Queen today,

  • do you think there will ever be a singer

  • as great as Freddie Mercury? - I have no idea.

  • But there probably will.

  • - Well, there already is. Her name's Beyoncé.

  • - I think he is a really good singer.

  • Listening to all those different songs,

  • his voice is just amazing.

  • - His voice can do so much stuff.

  • He could go high, low, in the middle,

  • and it's just awesome.

  • - I don't think that there will be a better singer than Freddie Mercury.

  • He was really great at singing the songs,

  • and he just had such a strong voice.

  • - People can try and they can use whatever autotune

  • or anything that's gonna come out in the future,

  • but there's no beating Freddie Mercury.

  • - Thanks for watching another episode of Kids React.

  • And we hope it rocked you!

  • - Bye, everyone!

  • - Thank you, guys, for watching me grow here on Kids React.

  • After a long journey,

  • I'm finally going to move on to Teens React,

  • and it's going to be great, and I will see all of you guys there.
