Can you talk about a singer or composer you really like, and why he or she is your favorite?

My favorite singer is Freddie Mercury, who was the lead vocalist of the British rock band "Queen". When I heard his song for the first time, I was 13 or 14. The first song I heard out of his many songs  was "Bohemian Rhapsody".

At that time, in my country, there were very strict regulations on songs. If songs were thought to contain some themes or lyrics like about drug,violence,rebellion or sexual expressions which could be harmful/detrimental to tradition,cultural norms and custom or social order, they would be banned by the goverment. Bohemian Rhapsody was on of those many songs banned at that time. As far as my understanding I know,it was banned because it has implicit suicide in its lyrics. 
 
Then , how did I get the chance to hear the song?. One of my friends had a Queen's album, which I guessed was probably purchased from the black market. She introduced me to the song. When I heard it, I instantly fell in love with the song and the singer, Freddie Mercury. His voice was so powerful and energetic but it still had a tenderness and sweetness to it. Besides that , the band had  intricate harmonies. When the voices of the four members of Queen were harmonised so perfectly and delicately,I felt as if it was sound from heaven.
 
The ban on their songs have since been lifted but I don't know when exactly. Anyway, now I can openly enjoy them.It's really great for fans like me. One thing that is really sad though is that I can't see him in a live concert anymore. Actually I never had had  a chance to go to his concert. I was really sad when I heard about the news of his death. However, he will forever be on my list of favorite musicians.
