voice, until he heard the best voice in the world.... Montserrat Caballe. Denise asked about the nicknames Freddie gave to the band and people he liked. The tradition started in British theatre where males were given female names and vice versa. Freddie carried this on with Elton and a friend of their's, Tony King. With the band he picked fairly obvious ones, MAGGIE for Brian, LIZ for Roger but John was harder to come up with, but in the end he became BELICIA after the flashing yellow lights at road crossings. Their manager Jim Beach became Miami, Freddie's partner, Jim, became BETTY, and even Mary Austin was named and was STEVE after the 6 Million Dollar Man. Michea from Poland asked about Freddie's favourite song. Freddie was asked many times about this in interviews and most of the time he avoided the answer, mainly because he didn't want his words to be turned around in print. He told me his favourite song was SOMEBODY TO LOVE. The reason he didn't want to say this was because it was one of his own songs, and he didn't want it said that he only liked his own music and not any of the other band members. Cariad and Dario have asked about Freddie, his music and recent Queen collaborations. Freddie wasn't 'precious' about his music. He wrote it because that is what he felt. He wrote it with himself in mind, because it was written as part of a Queen or solo
