if "State of Shock" (w/ Freddie) had been saved for the Bad album

BAD is the closest album SOS would've been cohesive on.

I still think "Cheater" would've been a great duet with Stevie

I've never thought of it! After re-listening to it, I completely agree with you. It would have been fantastic. :oops:


Anyway I do like JGF but it is also true that it feels a bit out of place. I don't think state of shock would have fit the album either, the song is okay, I listen to it but not with so much enthusiasm to be honest.

Well, I can force myself to hear it but honestly, I don't think this would elevated the song for the better. Cheater's perfectly fine as it is with solo MJ.

Imho I think TWYMMF would have been a perfect choice Stevie & Michael.

Many consider JGF as the weakest song on the Bad album. It isn't per se a bad song but imo it's clearly out of place on the album.

Had it been replaced with a Freddie version of SoS, imo it would have elevated the album to another level. Kinda being a flawless album where every song could have been released as a single. Opinions?

I don't think they would have been together again in '87, Freddie was probably with the other members of Queen recording the album The Miracle.

They had just released A Kind of Magic. Perhaps Freddie Mercury himself was already working in Barcelona to release it in '88; in '87 he released The Great Pretender.

It probably wouldn't have happened.
