Who is the greatest singer? Give reasons why

In my opinion, the best singer in the world and of all time is Freddie Mercury, hisincredible voice and presentations with queen are awesome. Although it is homosexual,Freddie Mercury has always been a leader among the youth of the time and I value a lotlike the Queen, represented by Freddie Mercury could relayed from generation withincredible songs such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Somebody to Love, Do not Stop Me Now, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, which captivated many people, but to my taste, the best song by Queen with Freddie Mercury is "We Are The Champions".Something that few know is that Freddie Mercury, not really called that, the real name ofFreddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara and the September 5, 1946 in Stone Town,Zanzibar (now Tanzania). During his lifetime he was widely recognized and followed byfans and even after his death, people continued to love his idol.

According to his partner, Jim Hutton, Freddie Mercury would have AIDS diagnosed in1987, but Freddie Mercury, died November 24, 1991, of bronchopneumoniacomplicated by AIDS.
