When I saw this music video, " I'm going slightly mad " by Queen for the first time, I was like wow, it’s like a Dali art, and Dali is my favorite painter !
Ray and I were re-watching “ Classic Queen “ video last night.
“The greatest hits “ and “ Classic Queen “ are my favorite Queen’s music video collection, so we sometime watch them whenever I need extreme power and energy.
Of all the music videos,
“I’m going slightly mad “ is my absolute favorite of all.
Freddie Mercury’s creativity for this is one of the best ever for me.
Amazing thing is this music video was made only nine month before Mercury passed away.
And yet he looks vital, energetic, smiling and obviously still full of creativity.The lyrics are sad because seems like it was his feeling after he got illness , but he sang it in a humorous way and I love the song and the music very much.
It’s very unique.
Freddie’s performance is very theatrical. Reminds me of a theatre show you might have seen in the 1920’s or 30’s.
It’s a very stylish performance, full of interesting movements, poses and expressions.
In the beginning of the video, he appears almost like a friendly, smiling, vampire, with humor. Amazing acting.
I like the dracula vampire look. So I also really love Freddie’s looks in this performance as well.
