It's safe to say that most of us can't sing nearly as well as Queen's Freddie Mercury. A new app from the band Queen is likely to prove it.

The new app, Freddiemeter, gives users the chance to belt out four Queen songs: "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Somebody to Love," "Don't Stop Me Now" and "We Are the Champions." It compares your vocals to Freddie Mercury in pitch, timbre, and melody, and assigns a score from 0 to 100. Watch a demonstration video below.
The device was created by Google Creative Lab and Google Research utilizing Mercury’s isolated vocals, as well as samples of people trying to sing like him.
The Freddiemeter was developed to support Mercury Phoenix Trust, a charity launched in part by Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor to battle HIV/AIDS. The launch coincides with the band's first-ever live performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody" live at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool in November 1975.
