I got the idea for this thread from the tribute thread to him but just want to see what the outcome of this poll would be? I know what my answer is: a resounding YES! there is nobody imo who has ever matched what he could do.

Every entertainer is different so no one would match Freddie obviously

For showmanship, entertainment and pure talent, Freddie could not be beaten.

Trying to be objective on this one I would say yes with Michael Jackson a close second and maybe Elton as well. Im not a fan of the latter 2 in the slightest but I have to admit they are huge figures in their field

I have to agree. You only have to look at Queen's Live Aid performance...he held that crowd in the palm of his hand, and that was what made him great and why he is still so adored even 20 years after his death (even by people who weren't even born when he died).

I can't stand Queen's music, but was impressed by their, or more precisely, his performance at Live Aid.

As to whether he was the best performer ever, how can that possibly be answered? None of us were around for ever.

If the question were "Has Freddie Mercury entertained you more than any other entertainer you have seen?" then an FM can legitimately vote "Yes" or "No", and as a number of other entertainers have entertained me more than Freddie Mercury, I would vote "No".

Yes, I can safely say that Mercury is the greatest enetertainer there ever was in music. In media in general? You can't compare film, music, an tv and such.

Good post.

I would say no, but he is one of the best music entertainers-up there with the greatest.
