Hello everybody!! This is my eminent learning centre for the 2020 eminent project. Due to COVID we can obviously not host an in person live eminent night, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying yourself. Don’t stop now, and have a good time!! If you missed out on our class’ KILLER (buh dum tsh) performance, maybe take a peek 🙂
Freddie Mercury. A name known across the world. Usually coincides with flamboyant outfits, crazy performances, great music, a four octave vocal range, and living life on the edge. What many may not know is that I wasn’t always this way.
Aww, how fun was that?! I am familiar with Queen’s Music but haven’t delved this deeply into Freddie himself. Quite cool to see he was from Zanzibar??? Who would’ve known?! Good stuff Devon 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 “My” life has been quite the rollercoaster! And yes, though a lot of people don’t know this, “I’m” actually not of british decent, which is kinda nifty. Thanks for the comment!
So inspired by your achievements and how you’ve managed to overcome so many struggles, Freddie! What is one piece of advice you would give to an aspiring musician?
Thank you, Grace! I’d have to say that even though times may get rough, and you might lose hope, just try to push through, and don’t lose sight of your dreams!!
I’d have to say my overall determination to reach my goals! Even when I lost sight of the finish line, I never stopped carving away at the music industry and releasing hit after hit after hit! Thanks for the comment 🙂
Great learning centre! Loved the kahoot and the treats at the end too. Devon’s really outdone himself! Also, Freddie Mercury, I’m a huge fan! Can I have an autograph??
Wow that was a fantastic presentation! It was engaging, interesting, and very meaningful! I am inspired by your resilience and strength and by the messages you sent out through your songs! Wonderful job Devon 🙂

Devon! I love how you wrote this in first person! This made me sad, inspired and reflective. Well done.

Freddie Mercury, why did you change the band’s name to Queen? Also, what was your favourite album and why?
December 12, 2020 at 3:06 am
I just thought “Queen” had a bit more flair than boring old “Smile”. It was time for a change of branding!
I’d have to say my favourite album is “Night at the Opera”, though I do try not to look back as much. Eyes on the horizon and all that.

You had so many struggles in your life, Freddie. What kept you going when you felt like giving up?

Wonderful presentation about your life, Freddy! Tell Devon I would like a real, not virtual cookie!
December 12, 2020 at 3:41 am
Thank you so much!! Devon says that he’ll have to give you one some time 🙂

I did not know that you were keeping your illness a secret for so long. So sad. I learned something new (Ben’s dad)
December 12, 2020 at 4:08 am
Good to hear that! And yes, it was quite painful as well. Thanks for the comment!

For Devon: Your presentation was so awesome! I loved the concept of having hidden links within your PowerPoint!
For Freddie: Your story is so inspiring! I noticed that in the photo from your childhood, you appear to have won an award. What was the award for?
December 12, 2020 at 4:31 am
Devon: Thank you so much 😀
Freddie: It just so happens that the award is for boxing of all things! Crazy, right? No, not really, I’m just that good.
