and, unlike Malek, Egerton actually sings every note while in characterWhen dealing with a unique voice like Mercury's, it is highly unlikely that an actor can replicate it. The same was true when Jessica Lange played Patsy Cline. It would also be a problem if they made a movie about Roy Orbison. If Egerton is going to do his own singing, I hope he sounds like Elton. Tom Hiddleston was a terrible singer in the movie he did about Hank Williams.

The same was true when Jessica Lange played Patsy Cline. In "Coal Miner's Daughter", Beverly D'Angelo played Patsy Cline and sang all her songs, She won a Country Music Association award for Album of the Year......

Every week or so, someone posts a singer on FB who “OMG, sounds just like Freddie!”
No.
They don’t.
Maybe some get pretty close but there will never be another Freddie.
