"What genre you could sing?"
Queen : _yes_
Remember the other Queen members. Freddie Mercury isn't the band
@@orcadork8091 i said queen because bohemian rhapsody was sang by all of them not only freddie
Marsella Liim I thought he did part of the backing track in some songs
You forgot to put "darling" after "yes" darling
b4ka dom he still wrote songs
They made a song so good that 6 minutes feels like 3.
I think it’s too short lol
More like 1 lol
Yah 6 minutes ain't that long
Ben Swolo If I were to go into a room without no entertainment, no books, nothing to do, I would surely get bored fast.

"People forget he was actually a great musician and that sort of pisses me off because they say "oh he was a great showman" but he wasnt just a showman. He was actually a brilliant musician" - Roger Taylor
Definitely, He was a great vocalist, musician, pianist, showman, basically he was a Owner of music.
Freddie was some kind of Magic
@@patriciakagan113 yep
bruh one of the unique voices
He was a musical god, who came for a short time and did it his way, no compromises, he will never be forgotten and one of the greatest musician ever lived.
Why is bohemian rhapsody so good?
The solo
Brian May's guitar
The sounds
Transitions
Its length
Freddie's voice
The end
The beginning
Everything in between
Roger's Galileo
@@shalashaska6658 Righttt!!
what about the meaning of the aong?
song
John’s bass
Fun fact
*only freddie knew what it was about*
I will fight you in the comments Yes because he believes that the song got popular because not many people know the meaning of the song and if "revealed" it would ruin the purpose of the song..
Well Freddy knew. That's all that matters.
Well Queen themselves has said many times "Their songs are what people think and feel about them"
My mom said its a song about dying. Weird.
Only Freddie did. Only person alive to know is Mary Austin. She'll never tell.
Ah yes, my favorite music genre: Freddie Mercury
@Danglie glad someone corrected it before me
@@jasminewei4184 shut up b*tch
i also like this genres
Roger Taylor
John Deacon
Brian May
and of course our killer Queen Freddie Mercury
but its better when this is all mixed together
I said get back here
Hi God whats popin
"It's acappella, ballad, opera, rock in one song". Now I know why I love this so much.
and reflective ? sthg he said
coda which means end in music termniologies and other areas@@q7jdwomfvkbj74
I've listened to it many times and I want to love it but I really can't. It's literally the most off-taste song for me
No matter what music you’re into, everyone likes Bohemian Rhapsody and most people know the entire song by heart. That’s why it’s so good.
yeah!! and it is a very complex song. And you know every bit of it. It means you've heard it a thousand times to know every note by heart. And still want more of it. Tell me a song you can hear a hundred times and not get sick of it?
Apparently Beyonce doesn't. What a shame on her. You guys can listen to her performance and decide for yourselves.
Btw I think Brendon Urie's rendering on death of the bachelor tour was by far the best cover of this beloved masterpiece
@@valeriataylor8337 I could hear Close to the Edge an obscene amount of times, and I will still find new things about and love it every single time, where as br kind of gets boring after the third listen
@@valeriataylor8337 Close to the Edge? Learning to Live? Take the Time? Awaken? Gates of Delirium? Starship Trooper? Prog is just kind of like that... ;)
@Jonathan Bishop 1. appeal to popularity, just because it's popular doesn't mean it's good and I'm SURE you'd agree, 2. nobody said it wasn't his opinion. bohemian rhapsody is not "the best song ever written" and to say so is to reveal an ignorance of music...
Other song writers: "Am I a joke to you?"
Freddie Mercury: "Yes darling!"
Very true darling
That's life. And as funny as it may seem, some people get their kicks stomping on a dream.
babada Absolutely darling
Of course darling!
babada lmao
This song makes you cry, smile, dance and sing in 6 minutes. A true masterpiece
how does it make you cry? Lol. It's a unique, beautiful song, but it doesn't make you cry.
@@callanreimann6023 No buddy, it doesn't make YOU cry :)
I never personally cried while listening the song, but someone surely did. If could've been live, or not, but the song hits everyone differently, neither I danced on the song but I still wrote it in the comment.
So respect everyone's opinion :)
@@callanreimann6023 ...you know when he says "if I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters"?
that part
Jack Jacky easily recreated with modern day musical technology. Not unique at all
It’s a catchy song but the opera part is cringeworthy 🤢
"We don't want to be a ROCK STAR, we want to be a LEGEND"
-Freddie Mercury
Lawra
Freddie never said we or want, he said I and will
I’m just gonna say, Roger Taylor’s falsetto gives everyone a run for their money
Periodt!!!
It gives me a run for my money so I can pay him to stop, its ear grating
a random guy the fact that you spend your time making negative comments about queen is hilarious, you’re obviously a fan because you are literally everywhere bring them down.
@@DeadByLani queen are not the worst band to ever exist but I am so tired of people saying that they are the best band of all time or that bohemian rhapsody is the best song ever, because that simply cannot be true, there is no objective best song ever, nor is there a best musical artist ever, it's all personal taste, so basically no I don't hate queen I actually like some of their songs but I am not a big fan, but my problem is with the fanbase and yeah I have a problem with most fanbases but the queen one is the most annoying
James LaBries' old high range beats out everyone in my mind... Jon Anderson's vocals in general are amazing too.

Same thing happened to me and it was just because of a tiny clip of bohemian rhapsody and that made me addicted to the song
How to get obsessed with queen:

Freddie: Yes
And yes I fixed the name

Where did this start exactly?
Guys...let’s calm downnn...
This is the only song that will never be forgotten or replaced.
You kidding right?
@@westter8164 no kidding!!!! Absolutely correct
@@garthbekkerbuksie4338 there are countless songs that will never be forgotten or replaced, to say that this is the only one is just stupid
@@westter8164 agreed but its the best song ever written and sung!
@@garthbekkerbuksie4338 yeah ok if you want to have that opinion than great, I just disagree alot with you
Best part is that this isn’t Queens best song, it’s a legendary song but as you actually listen to their other music; it gets better. Freddie is easily one of the best singers in history and Queen is legendary.
Damn right, Queen don’t have a best
Song, the answer to that can change between any of at least 40 songs they did that were 10/10s genius.

2nd time: wait why am I back again? Does this song have magic or something?
3rd time: I’m in love with this song
4th time: MAMA
5th time: now I’m just listening to it every day
6th time: guess I will learn how to sing it
7th time: becomes a queen fan
TNT_reaper ! The same situation happened with me.
TNT_reaper ! 1st time (as I remember) in cinema: “Dad what is this band again? I think I have heard this before.” “This is Queen.”
2nd time: “I love Queen” thus I became a fan instantly not knowing I have actually heard of them my entire childhood (not a lot but still through-out the years but it was 2010 so you can imagine I was young and Queen wasn’t everywhere that year). I am now 16 and still a Queen fan 🥳❤️

@@simongartner8381 Rolling stones is political trash mate
@@vlapratt1 Of course you can't rely to everything they state, but you can't tell me that bohemian rhapsody is the best song ever made... And I do kind of think most of their ratings are pretty good 🤷♂️
Sometimes I'm bothered by being 65 years old, then I remember life events like hearing this when it was first released and being blown away by it! I am lucky.
According to me its one of the most complete songs in the history of music making, you're listning to an opera and suddenly the transition from that to rock is so smooth that it fills you with a feeling of unusual and magnificent satisfaction and i wouldve paid even a hundred thousand bucks for the live aid concert of the queen!
Freddie is a genre. Queen is a genre.
MUSICAL GODS, THEY ARE
Maureen Solana bohemian rhapsody is a genre
One of a kind!
Eh I don’t rly get this band
It was a great song but the band themselves were Freddie and the guys that are okay at their instruments
Jackson Reda have you heard brian’s solos?
Jackson Reda Seriously?!!! Brian May is one of the best rock guitarist EVER! When he and his father built his guitar Brian knew exactly the way he wanted it to sound. Which is one of the reasons Queen is so instantly recognizable just a few notes in. And why he still plays the same guitar all these years later!!!!
Jackson Reda they have so many amazing songs and omg they are so fckn talented and amazing at what they are or were doing! Just look up their solos. Also it’s not just freddie and the others... it’s Queen :) If you once go deeper into what they did u understand why we love them so much

@@alpacawithouthat987 i hope that was a joke. If not, How about you would take the effort to look for the good music instead of thinking that the tiny top layer defines the whole generation you lazy piece of shit
I’m disappointed what music has become today. Pop a couple years ago, then in the range of hip hop, now stupid rap.
Think about this: at least since Freddie died I’m sure Bohemian Rhapsody has always been playing by at least one person
over 1.5 million people play bohemian rhapsody everyday on spotify
Add together all the people who play borhap on spotify, youtube, soundcloud, apple music (you get it, every single music app), on cd's, on casettes, on recordplayers and you will have millions upon millions of people. How amazing is that??
I really hope this is true!

Queen as a band were so lucky to find each other. Whenever one of them had a vision of a song, the others would help him make it. Freddie had a lot of them, but they all wrote great songs. Bohemian Rhapsody, though, was their ultimate song.
You might be wondering what is mean by "Bismillah" is Arabian language it means "In the name of god".

At first time I heard the song..., I couldn’t believe what’s I’m hearing...!!! Such a beautiful and strange song just captivated my soul at once!! I always beloved opera.... and I just COULDN’T believe the opera sección..., and the ballad..., and the rock..,, and the guitar... and the harmonies !!!! My head just blown away!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Imagine in 2060 and this song is still a masterpiece and all the people who watch this will just say "WOW"
I will never forget hearing this song for the first time in the backseat of a car.
It was the only time in my life I can remember being literally flabbergasted by a piece of media. It literally shifted the goalposts for me. Like I had a different standard of what music even was now. I went home and immediately looked it up again on my computer. Within 3 months, I owned 2 greatest hits CD's, 3 classic albums, a live concert and a Queen documentary... and I had never even cared about classic rock or 70's/80's music up to that point.
I chase that feeling now. I literally call it the "Bohemian Rhapsody" feeling. That feeling of the goalposts shifting. Of me changing my standard of what entertainment can be. I've never seen a show, or watched a movie, or read a book, or heard ANYTHING that quite did it in my adult life. Only this goddamn song.
So, yeah, I agree. This is the greatest song ever written.
Matthew Soares omg I had the same thing happen to me! But instead of the “goalpost shifting” feeling, it was more of a “falling in love with a song” feeling. I cannot describe it. I was just a kid back then and I asked my mom it was a medley. But i loved it and still love this song until now. Hahaha 😁
You need to go listen to more music then
I can totally relate. Exact same thing happened to me.
Yeah I hadn't heard Bohemian Rhapsody until a month ago and I've never been influenced by anything before the late 90's... This song literally made me forget all the things I though were great from my generation and pay attention to more 70s 80s music, especially Queen's vast Song Selection
@Spanish Moustache Don't know if your comment is directed towards me, but I'm 21... I heard Bohemian Rhapsody, found out that Queen made We will rock you and We are the Champions, saw the Live Aid concert in 1985 and now I can't get enough of Queen

There are plenty of good musicians nowadays, you just don’t try or haven’t broadened your tastes, but there’s plenty of good music, it’s just different, possibly worse, but still, at least it’s not trying to copy Mercury’s music
@@ianwest5172 But there's loads of great classic rock bands still making music and there's great modern bands as well but they aren't mainstream at all, If freddie was alive music now would still be the exact same.
It would have only pushed him to be even better than he was back then and blow today's artists out of the waters even more. Especially in the early 2010s.
Ah yes the "I'm born in the wrong generation" kid
In my opinion, i dont experience identity crisis but all the lines of the song hits me like ive experience all of it..

When I was a kid I saw that Live Aid on MTV I didn't know who Queen was but for some reason I couldn't stop looking at Freddie Mercury and the guys having fun and the people are having fun that's my first memory as a kid of how wonderful music is and how great Queen is.
Jorge Martinez that’s amazing! I was born 10 years after Freddie’s death so I don’t have any memories..
I had the exact same experience. I was 10 when they played at Live Aid, I saw it on TV.
Such a powerful impression! No wonder it was such a key moment in the history of the band, only sad part was that it was also from there everything went south for his Royal highness himself :/
There is two kinds of people in this world, people who think the queen live aid performance is the single greatest musical experience of all time and those who have never seen it
Oh my god :)
I would've KILLED to have been alive and have seen that... cause I learnt the whole song at 8 and now everytime I watch Live Aid I get such chills. Curse me being 18 Years too late :(
watching this while the corona virus is spreading in my country. (home quarantine :c)
I met Freddie and was able to tell him exactly how much I loved and admired him. After doing so we hugged and both laughed after I whispered “You’re so bitchen I lose sleep at night!”

Bohemian Rhapsody is pre conceived in Freddie Mercury’s mind. The lyrics tells about pain, hopelessness and desperation which everybody could relate. Mix it up with five part from acapella, ballad, rock, opera to finally coda with all emotions put into the song is absolutely amazing. No song in history of modern music could matched that. To music expert, Bohemian Rhapsody is a masterpiece. Well. To us it’s just a song that will remain in our hearts and memory for a long time...a classic.
You mixed up rock and opera darling
Only Freddie and Mary Austin know what it means
Period .
"A mind-blowing genre bender" - I do believe Freddie would take every syllable to heart, and as an endless compliment.
Songs of Queen especially this one will be as fresh in 2060 as fresh as they were in 1980.
What a legend .
Yeah, I know it's about "relationships" but I gotta theory...
Accapella:
Freddie's introduction to fame and his confusion of what the future will hold for him.
Ballad:
Freddie has to leave his family and old life behind to pursue music.
Opera:
Freddie is trying to break from the chains put onto him, his fear of really being himself.
Rock:
Freddie breaking those chains, being himself and not caring what people thought of him.
Coda:
A reflection of Freddie's life and fame.
I believe Bohemian Rhapsody is a reflection of Freddie's life and rise to fame.
Nailed it.
I heard that “mama” is Mary. He is coming out in the song as gay.
vlyn low wow that actually makes a lot of sense!
vlyn low but he was bisexual
vlyn low well no one knows for sure. That’s just your interpretation
These guys have clearly never heard of “The Campfire Song” song by Spongebob.
Ashy they surely didn't
Campfire song song. Please get it right
Seekndestroyz No, it’s the campfire song. That’s the title.
I prefer "Best day ever".
Or the Goofy Goober song.
I don’t even really like Bohemian Rhapsody all that much (probably not even in my top 100) but even I can agree that it is objectively, one of, if not the greatest song ever made.
This is not even close to the best song ever made, if you want that then listen to progressive rock
It amazes me that school chorus groups perform this song to this day; so spectacular and never to be forgotten ❤
And this is why freddie mercury is probably one of the most influential singer/song writer ever
I dont know ... Queen were off in their own world with a totally unique sound that was created by the unique musicians involved.
People just couldnt "play like Queen" or "sing like Freddie". It was "untouchable". I hear Bob Dylan in tons of songwriters. I hear Paul McCartney in tons of songwriters. I hear Bruce Dickenson or Stevie Wonder in tons of singers. I hear Nirvana in tons of bands. I hear Metallica in tons of bands.
But I almost never hear a singer and go "He sounds like Freddie" or hear a band and say "Oh yeah they are trying to sound like Queen".
Kristan Smith you don’t have to sound like your influence. Then you’d just be a copy
Is*
@@safwannizam2932 Yeah but if Freddie/Queen was so influential I would expect to find the things that they did .. their "fingerprints" .. all over modern music. Unfortunately I find the stuff that Queen and Freddie did, from the composition to the playing / singing to the performances ... to be sadly lacking in most music that has come along since.
I would maybe say Queen was more "inspirational" than "influential" .. but I'm just pedantic.
Kristan Smith yeah I get what you mean
I miss Freddie so much it unreal and every time I hear him start Bohemian Rhapsody at Live Aid it makes me want to cry. RIP FREDDIE we all miss your over charismatic attitude x
And his overwhelming gayness. He was a legend and shall all live on in our hearts.
lidlmermaid101 Goodman at my funeral I’m gonna make sure they all play Queen
FeS FeO2 hey listen. You don’t understand what shit Queen have got me through these past few years. Ok?
FeS FeO2 the music. Stop being so narrow minded and being such a argumentative twat
Dude same
Bohemian Rhapsody isn't just a song. It's a whole experience.
I miss Freddie so much :( ❤️
Me too!!!
We need more music like bohemian rhapsody.
"i hate my generator"
DERS A SNAKE IN ME BOOT get a new one then
SNB_1985 we need music that is both like bohemian rhapsody in the way that it’s so different from anything that came before but it needs to be different from bohemian rhapsody as well
Uhm no... we just need musicians to keep making music that makes people happy, not music that specifically meets your tastes
Obi Wan Kenobi why don’t we just have both then
Insider: “ _Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever written._ “
Also Insider: *uses a photo from the movie rather than Freddie himself as the Thumbnail*
Lol lo lol
Oh lol
It was actually Rami Malek, the guy who played Freddie in Bohemian rhapsody (the movie), but ok
Caleb Tan but why use him when you can use the man who actually wrote the song
@@yeetersonpeterson2765 but he's the one who wrote it tho
0:41 everyone: *sexy gorgeous pose*
Deacy: *I am the preciousness*
It's not a song. It's a masterpiece of songs
Friend: what genre is this song?
Me: _its complicated_
It's genre is "The best song genre"
Freddie Mercury is the GOAT truth
It is all the genres.
@@centiments11 Queen is overrated tbf you probably just know their hits u queen fans are not real fans
@@benobrvar5956 Nope. I know their other songs not just the hits. Sit down kiddo
Guess you've never heard "We Are Number One"
Lazy town
If anyone feels like a loser just remember that there are people who still think “We Are Number One” is still funny
@@koppi732 i'd strongly agree
noice
F
I am familiar with this masterpiece for over 20 years and it still makes my goosebumps move all over my body while listening
ahh what a lovely review- my love for this song just grew more
singularly, the crowd at the green day concert on july 1st 2017 singing along to bohemian rhapsody whilst waiting for the concert to begin, clearly proves how magical this song is.
for us in the UK, it's almost born in the womb, as we can all sing it verbatim; even my 93 yo mom can sing it
I’ll tell ya what genre it is
It’s a rhapsody
Gr8
Yes darling
NO.
technically it is a rhapsody but that is not a genre, a rhapsody is a composition where no section is repeated.
and yes I do see what you mean about it being its own genre.
One of the reasons why it's so beloved is because we are all born with some of the lyrics already know to us even if you uave never heard it
Fascinating! A classic song and truly one of a kind. I appreciate you detailing all the mechanics that went into making Bohemian Rhapsody possible.
Certainly, over the years, lots of artists have recorded their versions of the song and most of the recordings were received by the public with a, "Oh, that was pretty good."
I am commenting today, 11/26/20, and I see that this video came out, 10/31/18. And that over five million people have looked at it. In January, 2020, America's Got Talent/The Champions, was viewed by America and the whole world. A unique show which featured artists who had previously won talent contests. On the opening night a young girl from Norway came on stage to sing. In the short interview preceding her performance nothing was mentioned about what she was about to sing. At the time she was 13 years old. She proceeded to sing a version of Bohemian Rhapsody (her own arrangement) which literally stunned the judges, the audience and the viewing audience! Her name is Angelina Jordan. Anyone who is a big fan of BR must listen to Angelina Jordan sing her version of the song. You become mesmerized and cannot believe what you are hearing.
The remaining members of Queen were quick to say they thought her performance was incredible and, said without question that Freddie Mercury would have been very pleased.
In my opinion, what Angelina did (at 13!)is a MASTERPIECE and will never be forgotten.
Why Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever written
“Just cause”
The End.
Not really...
Mitch bro wanna square up
Lol it's a music opinion. There's many good songs out there, still don't get why this is superior to everything ever made, even after watching this video.
Mitch bro don worry i was just joking, of course u can have ur own opinion
@@clairecondie7506 alright man, glad to hear that.
You kidding me this should be the national anthem of the world
Don't you mean international song.
BEN GHANA r/woooosh
I agree 😂
@Christine VonSteeg Byrd hes just ignorant haha
It lowkey sounds like shit
The definition of “rhapsody “.
Bohemian Rhapsody is just as unique as Freddie was. One of a kind, checked all the boxes at once and yet no single box at the same time, and a spectacular gift to rhe world. As time goes on I miss his talent more, because I constantly wonder what he would have given us next, had he lived. I still miss him today!

You also have to add Camellia as a genre.
Thank you for not including rap, it’s horrible and should not be considered music
«but what genre is this?»
freddie: yes
My father left me at boarding school for Christmas. I was the only student left behind. I had the TV room all to myself...
Bohemian rhapsody came on, the original "video" it was late morning early afternoon, I sat through so much shyt because I didn't want to change the channel incase it came on again... It did about 7pm. I'm now 62 and I have done so much BUT that day was seminal! Thank you so much!
Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the greatest songs of all time. Pure masterpiece
