Let's get this straight. Singing a Freddie Mercury track isn't as easy as taking a walk in the park. The Queen frontman had such vocal range that it could oscillate sonically between the highest of mountains and the deepest of seas. You might say, "Oh please, I've sung I want to break free at numerous karaoke sessions." But then I'd say, "Sure, but have you tried Bohemian rhapsody?" The point is, if you have the sort of voice that even your parents hid from guests in your childhood, try attempting a Honey Singh hit. But steer clear of Freddie Mercury.

Yet, I invited four Mumbai-based friends and fans of his iconic rock band to try out a new app called FreddieMeter, which the trust in Mercury's name has launched in association with YouTube to commemorate his 28th death anniversary that fell earlier this week. The volunteers were Sujan Sengupta, Ritwik Ghosh, Karan Daz Paul and Janet Babu. The idea is to pick one from a list of four Queen hits — We are the champions, Don't stop me now, Somebody to love and Bohemian rhapsody.
