I dunno if this would come under some sort of catagory as 'harmony mashing', but I'm sure you get my idea. I hope this description is satisfactory, sorry if it's a tad long.

Bohemian Rhapsody (Hardest parts - 3:25-4:26)

Though it's debateable as to whether this or Good Vibrations is the hardest on RB3, what you have here is one of the hardest songs in the entire RB series due to it's pitches, not broken talkies. The song has some of the slowest pie-filling in the series too, meaning you have to be on the ball with this song constantly.

Granted, most of the song, while difficult, is totally doable. If you know the song well, you can FC most of the song pretty easily, and if not, then you can adapt to the majorty of the song too. But one whole section pushes this into one of the hardest songs in the series.

The Bridge.

If HMX had just charted Mercury to this lead vocal part, the song wouldn't be incredibly hard. However, what they have done here is mish-mash multiple harmony parts, such as the high/low Gallieo parts during 3:35, to the solo vocal part. The bridge is all over the place, in terms of octaves, pitches and whatnot because you're basically singing all the parts of the choir.

In terms of FCing this monster, practice is probably you're best bet. I know it sounds silly, but this section is hard. It took me a space of 3 days to FC this song, with multiple hours just spent practicing this bridge. You can somewhat manipulate the octaves a bit, for example, you could sing the Gallieo part in the same pitch I believe, but it works to a point.

Also length is somewhat a factor in this song. You have 3 minutes of singing before the bridge, the bridge takes up about a minute, then the remainder 2 minutes of the song is plenty chokable. You need to keep focused once you FC the bridge, and play through it beforehand as well, so you dont FC the bridge and go into the last section of the song blind to what's coming next.

"Low Life in the Fast Lane" needs to be added under the category of horrible charting. It's almost as bad as Fat Kid with almost everything wrong with it. Heres a video of the song in practice mode with guide pitch on.

I don't know if this has been discussed here but did anyone see that the first place was a glitcher (RB3 vocals career overall)
That's really bad, everybody should report this person so he gets banned.

On the topic of difficult songs... I think there should be a brief mention of Unbelievable, which has the most insane taps I've ever seen. Lot of short-ish sections which follow VERY rapidly from voiced parts, all with very rapid pairs in them. It won't break combo, but failure to exercise extreme vigilance will cost you a lot of points.
