Some people heard Mickey Callisto sing and thought it could not be real. He sounded too much like Freddie Mercury. But at Stendhal 2025, he settled all doubts. He sang Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever” with no music at all. It was just his voice, and it was stunning. He proved everyone wrong with his breathtaking performance.
It was not just the sound of his voice that amazed people. It was how he moved and the feeling he put into the song. He seemed to channel the spirit of Freddie Mercury. You could feel the passion. A judge who knew Freddie, Bruno Tonioli, even said Mickey had “all the mannerisms down to a tee” during his first audition.
