What more can be said about Freddie Mercury and Queen at this point? Some artists turned the singer into a superhero. Others decided his name should be immortalized on an asteroid, and even science determined that one of his songs was the catchiest. Millions of people listen to Freddie or sing along with him on YouTube, but the question is: How close are they to his vocal range? The new FreddieMeter project from YouTube Music and the Mercury Phoenix Trust has the answer…
On the upcoming November 24, it will be 28 years since Freddie Mercury passed away. The wretched AIDS and its associated complications took him too soon, but his music remains, and it stirs. You only have to browse his songs on YouTube. Millions and millions of views from all over the world. The official Queen channel alone has accumulated nearly six billion views, and judging by its inexhaustible popularity, it makes sense to think that number will keep rising.

Now, do you think you are close to Freddie’s range? Why not let an artificial intelligence deny or confirm that? Welcome to the FreddieMeter project, courtesy of YouTube Music and the Mercury Phoenix Trust.
It’s very easy: Visit the official page with your mobile device, or a computer with a connected microphone. By clicking the "Let’s Do It" button, you can choose one of four classics: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Don’t Stop Me Now", "We Are the Champions", or "Somebody to Love". Your voice analysis will be completely local and does not depend on web resources, so there are no privacy risks. The rest is a matter of singing along with the lyrics, and at the end you’ll receive an overall score based on three parameters: Pitch, Melody, and Timbre.

It doesn’t really matter; the priority is to have fun and show off in front of other friends who are Queen fans. The AI model applied in this challenge was developed by the folks at Google Research, and from what we’ve seen, it’s ruthless. Of course, if you can’t sing like Freddie, at least you have the option to practice to fool it...
