and, unlike Malek, Egerton actually sings every note while in character

When 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.

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.
