For him, creativity was a huge inspiration from an early age. He especially appreciated Freddie Mercury, whom he considered an unsurpassed role model and musical authority. The singer also admired his talent and skills long before he embarked on a solo career and was named the king of pop.
Their collaboration was to be a breakthrough. Ultimately, Jackson and Mercury did not record a single together
Michael Jackson was 12 years younger, but when they met, they were almost on par in professional achievements. The singer of Queen admitted in one of the interviews that he followed his fate when he debuted with The Jackson 5. Even then he knew that Michael should start a solo career and predicted him spectacular success on an international scale. “I realized that he is in his twenties and has been in the business longer than me. Normally in this situation you want to give the youngster some advice to start his career. But Michael didn’t need to be taught anything – said Mercury in one of the interviews.
During Queen’s tour of the United States, the artists met. At the time, Michael Jackson was in the midst of intense work on his sixth studio album. During the talks, there was a proposal for Mercury to sing as a guest in the single promoting him. Although he agreed, the effects of their cooperation never saw the light of day.
Artificial intelligence created a version of “Thriller” with Mercury’s voice. Fans delighted
The single “Thriller” debuted in 1982, but as a solo track. It turned out that at the stage of cooperation, the stars could not find a convenient time to meet together in the studio. – I was preparing a track for this album, but I didn’t finish it on time. Michael is a great artist that I wanted to work with, but we were notoriously unable to find time for each other. Just think how much money went over my nose, said Mercury with a laugh.
However, the rapidly developing technological progress is able to remedy this. A version of the aforementioned song appeared on YouTube, in which the artificial intelligence used the voice of the Queen singer.
The video immediately swarmed with comments from delighted Internet users. There were voices that in the version created by AI Mercury imitated Jackson too much. Most, however, were full of admiration, emphasizing that his voice sounded extremely credible.
It gives me the shivers. I never thought we’d get to a stage of technology where we’d be able to do things like this
This is one of the best AI covers I’ve heard
This is amazing. Just WOW. How good to hear Freddie again.
