Since not everyone watched their appearance on Sesame Street, this was the song where people generally learned that Kevin actually has a singing voice as well.
Did you know Brian May shared this a couple of years ago saying he couldn't ask for a better cover? Also my 3&5 year olds both say "hi, Barry!" They love watching you with me.
This really is an amazing cover. It's a note-for-note cover of the original. You can watch them side by side here: ua-cam.com/video/sd2vVhYkoBM/v-deo.html
As a long-time Queen fan, I remember being completely blown away as an 11-year-old kid by Queen's original when it was first released. I just discovered Pentatonix during the pandemic, and when I found out they had done a Bohemian Rhapsody cover, I was VERY skeptical. But when I saw the video for the first time a few months ago, I was COMPLETELY (and very happily) blown away again! I've probably watched it 100 times since then and have continued to be completely mind-blown every time. I later found out that right after this was first released, Brian May himself shared it on every one of his social media platforms. What better confirmation, huh? I have a feeling that Freddie would have absolutely LOVED this!
@@ItsmeBarry Thanks B☘. I had a nice quiet Easter at home. Spent time on the computer, listened to music, had a bagel for dinner, and did absolutely nothing.😁 Hope you had a great day, hopefully more exciting than mine!
Hi Barry! You should watch the “making of” video of them filming this song. Not as a reaction but just for your enjoyment. You see how they were all freezing their butts off since it was filmed at night, outside. Plus all the tribulations with the moving couch. Made me appreciate the finished product that much more!
This is one of their songs that you notice something different every time you listen. Just such an amazing cover and wonderfully done. I know they took a long time to perfect and decide to release it and I'm so glad they did. It's amazing.
Pentatonix did an amazing version of this classic, and you Barry☘ did a great reaction!! Congratulations on 300,000 views! Thank you for always bringing us great music and for sharing your knowledge, emotions and humor. I always enjoy watching your reactions over and over and... 💖
No, no insruments. Totally A Capella. Kevin does the beat boxing and vocal "instrumentals." Pure beauty. I really love the way you look to the skies on their harmonies; angels are singing indeed
Favorite member - Mitch. Recommendations Imagine, Aha from Singapore, Wizard of Ahhhhs, Mary Do You Know, Daftpunk, and any other you haven't already done.
Kevin is a master as a beat boxer, cello player, singer...I can't say enough about him. This can not be beaten by anyone but Queen. PTX does him so proud...I know he'd love it!
I absolutely love your double-viewing reaction format! It's easier to take you seriously when you're dedicating your concentration on the first viewing and your second viewing is delightful because of your spontaneous honest outbursts. I imagine there would be a whole lot less stigma associated with Tourette's syndrome if the sufferer's outbursts were as positive, funny, and musically talented as yours! Thank you for making this social isolation so much more bearable, Barry!
One of my favorite Pentatonix songs. Was sad when Avi left for his solo career, but has done some amazing songs you might want to consider reacting to his solo work. Keep up the great reactions.
It is fun to watch the Queen video and this one together. You can really see a lot of the work PTX went to in their tribute to Queen even down to the quadraphonic speaker effect.
Barry, Barry, Barry...I have to say, I am SO tickled by your reactions! I just discovered YOU today, but I have loved PTX for YEARS! It makes my heart so happy to see someone else discovering this amazing group...the vocal gymnastic ability that seems so effortless..seeing how much joy listening to them brings, watching your face, esp your eyes, well my friend, you are a joy! TY for sharing your discovery of and newfound love of PTX!!! :o)
We saw Pentatonix in Melbourne in February and they were absolutely amazing. We heard them sing this and when we left the venue we heard Queen sing it (who were playing at a venue across the road). Once in a lifetime. I love, love love Pentatonix.
You know you have met a very skilled man when he can segue from Bohemian Rhapsody to ABBA flawlessly! I absolutely love you, Barry! LOL! Epic. Mama Mia that was delightful!
I love you so much! I’m stuck at home with covid and you are helping my quarantine time be actually entertaining and fun 🤩 Thank you, you adorable Irish man 👨🏻
Sweet…I have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody the original but PTX version is so good. Love how they harmonize. If music be the food of love, play on. Getting in my bit of Barry for the day BB. I like looking at reaction videos but many of them, sad to say interrupt the song constantly..Ug gggg. How refreshing to listen to your reactions…and most of all, you connect with us … soul to soul, it is in your eyes.. now that is a gift. ✨💕
PTX fans started asking for this cover when the group first formed. They mentioned in interviews that they wouldn't do this cover until they felt they could do it justice. They waited years before they felt they'd matured musically enough to finally tackle this.
Terrific reaction, Barry ! I love their performance on this one, it's so well made. The Megaphone is a prop ! "Live" it sounds the same. FUN ! Brian May, Queen's guitarist liked their tribute. Thank you. Do watch AMAZING GRACE, their newest !
Amazing grace is wonderful and I love away in a manger as well... I must've been living under a rock as I see they've been around a while and I just recently heard their beautiful music 🎶🎶🎶
Same with this song. I'm speechless every single time i hear it. I just can't handle the fact they can do things like that. It's also really hard to imagine how much time and efforts they put in this cover. They are unbeliveble. You should listen to their cover to 'Say Something', by the way. This one is amazing as well.
Okay, time for the infamous, interactive Terri comment. You are doing great with the word “Bohemian” I cannot say it either, which is why I cheat and call this song BoRhap? My southern accent can butcher the best words out there! Okay so first harmonies GORGEOUS! And Kevin I see you in there with the 3 in the back, yes, I do! As I understand the original, Freddie did that first bit alone, layering his own harmonies, with the rest of the band coming in with their harmonies at “open your eyes” which is actually when you start to hear those lower parts as Avi comes in with PTX. And again, panning the parts to your separate headphones, another thing Queen did, even at that time. The detail breakdown of the original PTX did on this is just so great! Gosh Avi and that Bass, holding the note? And Mitch with his part, so tender and soft. The beatbox drums on this are OUTSTANDING! Okay, Brian May’s “electric guitar” solo part with Mitch’s voice is so good and again, the attention to detail? “Operatic” section is brilliant with the flashlights and then Scott in the middle of the couch back and forth. And KEVIN and that high Go part on the go go go go, brilliant. He surprises me every time with his sweet high notes? And again with Mitch and that one high note before the “rock” section, it is a must, it is THAT well known. Scott comes climbing over that couch, I would have fallen flat on my face? 😂 they would have been frustrated with me, take 2000 because Terri face plants AGAIN. 😂 And the drums again, so necessary for that rock section. Beautiful slow down. This is a random thought but you can actually see Scott, Mitch and Kirsten on a couch just like that when they were growing up in Texas? And that wind! I mean come on, it is brilliant! Yes, the casual look works and they do look fantastic. I am not sure I could have handled Freddie’s look and his white one piece costume thing? 😂 This song is dramatic, theatrical and they also did that very well, but without really trying, just in simple ways. Actually using their voices to create the drama? Oh sing Barry, it is allowed in the review, right? I am singing (badly) so why shouldn’t you sing (goodly? Right, right that isn’t a word but you get it, yeah?) Forget it, I haven’t been away from this song for years, no letting go! Kirsten is just so lovely! YES, Barry, you need energy in the rock section and they give us that for real! Thank you, you finally sing! It IS perfection on perfection. OUTSTANDING!! T ❤️
Great review Terri! This performance works so well and if a real Queen fan gives it the thumbs up, then that’s the best acknowledgment of a job well done, that you could ever ask for as a performer. I enjoyed it so much I even broke my own rule right at the end a threw in a little harmony. It was as if I could hear Terri in the future telling me softly with a southern accent to sing.
@@ItsmeBarry thanks Barry! What is funny is you were saying, they put their own spin on it and I was writing all the ways it was so much like it? It is a LOT of both honestly. Yes, I heard the Barry part, he finally did it when I know very well you could have done much, much more. But if Terri, the Queen expert, were to choose a Queen song for Barry, it wouldn’t be BoRhap. I already have a list, you just don’t know about it yet. Well, now you do but you do not know the songs. I first must sweet talk you into it and that may take some time. I am counting on the fact you will eventually give in just to shut me up. It is a solid plan. 😂 T ❤️
It's just unbelievable to me that a human voice can so perfectly mimic the sound of a drum as is done all through this song! Btw you should sing more, your voice is beautiful. There is nothing as sweet as the sound of an Irish tenor's voice, and yours is on of the best. Keep doing what you do!
This is my 10th PTX reaction. I have lots of videos including their evolution of music medleys and their wonderful Dolly Parton collab. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did. I don’t know why I struggle with the word bohemian in this video , I keep saying bohemium 🙄 I have only one word to describe this song... WOW! I think everyone in PTX is amazing but do you have a favourite member of Pentatonix? *Please share this video it really helps my PTX Family grow and remember to like, comment and most of all subscribe ua-cam.com/users/ItsmeBarry for lots more PTX reactions 👍
Hi Barry, it's good to see you again, I hope you're well. Not sure if you're aware, but PTX just released a version of Amazing Grace. Of all the songs they've done (and I've watched them since they were competitors on The Sing-Off), it is my very favourite; I've already asked my family to play it at my memorial if/when I die. I have been watching it pretty much non-stop since it came out. I can't WAIT to see your reaction. p.s. I know you've been having mixed experiences with your viewers, but I think a lot of us would love to meet your cats--I know one reactor whose dog sits next to him during his reactions and his dog has become a big hit (I do realize cats are a little less obedient and predictable, though LOL). Also, some reactors get a P.O. Box address so that their subscribers can send them gifts (nothing super expensive, but often gifts from their home countries and such). I don't know if you'd be comfortable having a P.O. Box Address, but I'd love to send you a "Canadian care package" some time. All the best, my friend xoxoxo
I did have. Avi Kaplan is my favorite. It will take you quite awhile to get through the 100s of videos with him during the formation of the band and the 6 years he was with them. Distributed through Fantasy Records now which is great for a folk (aka "Americana" is the new term) singer/songwriter along with Paul Simon, Tanya Tucker and many other famous American artists. Much better for him. He can set his own pace now and he seems to be completely over the burnout that caused him to leave Pentatonix. If you get to where you want to vary a bit. Avi's "Change on the Rise" is over 7 million views which is not too bad for an act's launch a year ago followed by a pandemic.
Dear Barry ☘️ I can’t believe that it’s all a cappella and beatboxing! I swear I heard drums. This is a PTX masterpiece, but then, aren’t they all masterpieces? Don’t you wish there are more superlatives to describe PTX? Love to watch you talk back at their singing 🤣 Thank you for yet another wonderful review. 🤗
I am so delighted that you got to this early classic of theirs. Your reaction was just what I expected. Their performances are almost always virtually perfect, with amazing harmonics, superb beatboxing, and innovative changes on covers and great songs on their originals.
One of my favorites of PTX, right below "Sound of Silence". BARRY, you sing so well. I can't wait to hear you do a song. There has to be a video somewhere. Lovely voice! BTW, I tell my daughter every night, "I love you" and the other night I put your Irish spin on it and she said, "Where the heck did that come from?" I blamed you, Barry. ;) Lolve. Heh, love it.
Yes...their brand new cover of Amazing Grace is a must see. Great reaction...love how you watch the video first then react...so many others miss so much by pausing continuously. Thanks and stay safe.
I love the the sam as Barry, they do beautiful music together, I love them so much feeling, in every Word. Even if the music was great, when they do it together it’s gorgeous.👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
LOVE your reactions, Barry! And so glad you found Pentatonix. At least 3 of them are from my home state of Texas. I have SUCH talent envy for each and every one of them.
I am so happy you appreciate them as much as I do Barry. They are Phenomenal! Too many PTX songs, too little time. They've been together since 2011. Catch up. You'll love every second ! xo
I was so excited to see a notification that you were doing this song! I am just now getting a chance to watch. I just KNEW you would be thrilled with Mitch's "guitar" solo and Kevin's "drums". This whole thing is so impressive. Seeing them perform this live was even more so. No megaphone for the guitar, just vocals and a mic. AWESOME! It is definitely in my top 5. The newest, Amazing Grace may have taken over my #1 spot. Thanks, Barry! Looking forward to more
You responded like a person who heard the song for the first time. I know how you feel! One of the greatest songs ever, remade, and good. Freddy would be proud!💋
Oh that made me laugh! The fact that they were able to finally feel confident to even cover this song, and put in their own story of how far they had come by showcasing the couch, was priceless. Only Pentaholics would understand! 🤗
Truly they have a lovely blending of vocals. A capella music can be so good (despite being a string player, I can appreciate the skill needed to produce such a high quality sound vocally). This video seems to have been recorded outdoors? The steam from their mouths looks like a more northerly location... maybe someone can confirm this? I loved Queen’s original and this is also phenomenal. They all have lovely voices. Great reaction Barry!
It was filmed outdoors in the middle of a chilly night in California. They closed a street to do this. There is a “making of” video on their official UA-cam channel. I will never forget the excitement we all had waiting for this! It was something they had held off doing although they had received many requests for it. They did not feel they could give it the credit it deserved, but finally they felt they could, and they nailed it!
Bohemian Rhapsody. It's an iconic song. No one could every possibly endeavor to match Queen with this song. And then comes this version by Pentatonix. Listen carefully...is that Mitch impersonating a guitar riff with his voice and a megaphone? Another Pentatonix cover that just transfixes. AMAZING!!
I am an old Motown girl. Never bothered with Queen. Had only heard OF Bohemian Rhapsody. My first hearing was by PTX. At first not a fan of the song, but PTX just drew me in. Can't get away from them.

Just curious. Don’t know why you look just like my Dad and my cousins! Do you know your Dad? Lol what’s his name? 😁🌹💖👏😍
People don't give Kevin enough credit on his beat boxing. It is insane.
Kevin is epic. What he can do with beatbox is insane!!!!!
Since not everyone watched their appearance on Sesame Street, this was the song where people generally learned that Kevin actually has a singing voice as well.
Very well said indeed, Thankyou for that! 😍 I am definitely a proud member of the "we love Kevin" club! :)
They domanant this song. I dont know if you listened to there haliuhuah I've been listening to it none stop
He is amazing. I am always impressed when I listen to hin.
Absolutely incredible. You have to keep reminding yourself there are no instruments. Gorgeous.
The versatility of this group never ceases to amaze me! Percussion, horns, vocals... Wow!
Did you know Brian May shared this a couple of years ago saying he couldn't ask for a better cover?
Also my 3&5 year olds both say "hi, Barry!" They love watching you with me.
I would have loved to see Brian's reaction to this.
This really is an amazing cover. It's a note-for-note cover of the original. You can watch them side by side here: ua-cam.com/video/sd2vVhYkoBM/v-deo.html
The "Mitch on a megaphone realization face" was priceless! Love it!
It’s the main reason I watch reaction videos. I wanna make a compensation video of all those moments.
Yeah! Same here!😉
And the fact that the megaphone is only a prop! Talent💖👑🔥
YAAAAAAS!! GREAT REACTION BARRY!! Queen's Brian May is VERY AWARE of this cover .... AND HE LOVED IT!!👏😄
@@mmg8823 It's deleted. What did he say?
@@SomeGuyFromOK I replaced the link. He said: "GREAT VERSION: Bohemian Rhapsody by Pentatonix - enjoy."
@@mmg8823 that’s awesome!
Does Kevin play drums for real?
@@pennyfoster4237 he beatboxes drum sound..Matt the new bass singer does play drums though!!.

I'm in total agreement. I feel like Freddy would have absolutely loved this!
I agree. Freddie loved music, all forms, all kinds, he would have been all over floored and excited about their work on this.
Agreed Freddie is my favorite vocalist and I think he’d agree this cover an absolute tribute to his legendary immense talent
Freddy would have said, "Gorgeous darling!" 🥰
Pentatonix waited until they had been together for 5 years to feel they were ready to attempt to do Bohemian Rhapsody. I think they did just fine.
Better than fine! Superb!
@@kayomholt-montague7661 whatever
Fine?
Superb, sublime!
Amazing performance! Had to keep reminding myself there's no instruments. Great reaction Barry! 😊
Hi Anne, before it goes 12am for me now, I wanted to wish you Happy Easter Sunday 😊 🐣
B☘️
@@ItsmeBarry Thanks B☘. I had a nice quiet Easter at home. Spent time on the computer, listened to music, had a bagel for dinner, and did absolutely nothing.😁 Hope you had a great day, hopefully more exciting than mine!
Freddy must be smiling down. What amazing performance. Goose bumps
Hi Barry! Yes this is an oldie but goodie and they killed it. PTX just dropped Amazing Grace -- it will blow you away! Have the tissues ready . . .
I agree! It’s stunning!
Sorry not my religious beliefs at all. Catch them on the next release.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 I don't care what religion you are, it's still beautiful
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 I’m not religious at all but can appreciate a beautiful rendition of that song!!

Incredible version by Pentatonix! And no instruments!!! Great reaction, Barry.💖
Pentatonix is an exquisite group! Freddie mercury is smiling down from heaven watching them.
I didn't think it was possible when you added your notes it gave me goosebumps, you did that!
Kevin is a master as a beat boxer, cello player, singer...I can't say enough about him. This can not be beaten by anyone but Queen. PTX does him so proud...I know he'd love it!
He is indeed!
Kevin is fantastic and everyone also love them all they all do great cant say enough about them love them all

One of my favorite Pentatonix songs. Was sad when Avi left for his solo career, but has done some amazing songs you might want to consider reacting to his solo work. Keep up the great reactions.
Your beatboxing skills are improving Barry😂❤. Your excitement are contagious you know. They outdid themselves here❤️...thanks Barry
It is fun to watch the Queen video and this one together. You can really see a lot of the work PTX went to in their tribute to Queen even down to the quadraphonic speaker effect.

Again Barry, perfection 😮😅😊🙏❤️🇬🇧
Their Beatboxer really deserves alot of credit for this song in particular... The beat REALLY drives this song.
Sweet…I have never heard Bohemian Rhapsody the original but PTX version is so good. Love how they harmonize.

@@toniyouells3390 Welcome to the Pentaholic groupies ! You will be amazed.
Seriously, their new Amazing Grace(My Chains are Gone) released a few days ago it will give you chills.
i just wanna say how much i love your intro, it gets stuck in my head lol i'm at work like it's me! >.< Barry! XD
Their Christmas songs are phenomenal as well! Away in the Manger and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies...mind-blowing!
Couldn't you just listen to them forever?! I need to get their Christmas Album for sure! That 5-part harmony, out of this world!
Your reaction to Ari @ 10:32 is priceless. 😃😂 I replayed that several times. Liked the review.
Same with this song. I'm speechless every single time i hear it. I just can't handle the fact they can do things like that. It's also really hard to imagine how much time and efforts they put in this cover. They are unbeliveble.
You should listen to their cover to 'Say Something', by the way. This one is amazing as well.
This is the very definition of harmony and perfect pitch for us who lack the training or talent to imagine perfection.
Another great reaction Barry. I believe the megaphone is just for show, when they perform this in concert, he doesn't use it! So clever. x
Ah Barry, what a fabulous reaction 🥰 ... it’s SOOO good isn’t it? I am a Pentaholic but also a Queen fan .... the song will never die 🥰
Hey Barry! You're in for a real treat. Love this one, especially the Beatboxing. Thank you for the reaction!

It IS perfection on perfection. OUTSTANDING!!
T ❤️
Great review Terri! This performance works so well and if a real Queen fan gives it the thumbs up, then that’s the best acknowledgment of a job well done, that you could ever ask for as a performer. I enjoyed it so much I even broke my own rule right at the end a threw in a little harmony. It was as if I could hear Terri in the future telling me softly with a southern accent to sing.
@@ItsmeBarry thanks Barry! What is funny is you were saying, they put their own spin on it and I was writing all the ways it was so much like it? It is a LOT of both honestly.
Yes, I heard the Barry part, he finally did it when I know very well you could have done much, much more. But if Terri, the Queen expert, were to choose a Queen song for Barry, it wouldn’t be BoRhap. I already have a list, you just don’t know about it yet. Well, now you do but you do not know the songs. I first must sweet talk you into it and that may take some time. I am counting on the fact you will eventually give in just to shut me up. It is a solid plan. 😂 T ❤️
Hello Barry from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺 Glad you found the PTX wonderful group could listen to them all-day and night. Lots more for you to discover Barry 💕
Got to say, I've had a few drinks and I love Pentatonix. Love your reaction, dude. Absolutely genuine. Thanks for the ride.
It's just unbelievable to me that a human voice can so perfectly mimic the sound of a drum as is done all through this song! Btw you should sing more, your voice is beautiful. There is nothing as sweet as the sound of an Irish tenor's voice, and yours is on of the best. Keep doing what you do!
You May be. Mad Berry but you are brilliant, love watching your reactions sweetie!
Thanks Lisa.
This is my 10th PTX reaction. I have lots of videos including their evolution of music medleys and their wonderful Dolly Parton collab. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.
I don’t know why I struggle with the word bohemian in this video , I keep saying bohemium 🙄
I have only one word to describe this song... WOW!
I think everyone in PTX is amazing but do you have a favourite member of Pentatonix?
*Please share this video it really helps my PTX Family grow and remember to like, comment and most of all subscribe ua-cam.com/users/ItsmeBarry
for lots more PTX reactions 👍
Hi Barry, it's good to see you again, I hope you're well. Not sure if you're aware, but PTX just released a version of Amazing Grace. Of all the songs they've done (and I've watched them since they were competitors on The Sing-Off), it is my very favourite; I've already asked my family to play it at my memorial if/when I die. I have been watching it pretty much non-stop since it came out. I can't WAIT to see your reaction.
p.s. I know you've been having mixed experiences with your viewers, but I think a lot of us would love to meet your cats--I know one reactor whose dog sits next to him during his reactions and his dog has become a big hit (I do realize cats are a little less obedient and predictable, though LOL). Also, some reactors get a P.O. Box address so that their subscribers can send them gifts (nothing super expensive, but often gifts from their home countries and such). I don't know if you'd be comfortable having a P.O. Box Address, but I'd love to send you a "Canadian care package" some time. All the best, my friend xoxoxo
I did have. Avi Kaplan is my favorite. It will take you quite awhile to get through the 100s of videos with him during the formation of the band and the 6 years he was with them.
Distributed through Fantasy Records now which is great for a folk (aka "Americana" is the new term) singer/songwriter along with Paul Simon, Tanya Tucker and many other famous American artists.
Much better for him. He can set his own pace now and he seems to be completely over the burnout that caused him to leave Pentatonix.
If you get to where you want to vary a bit. Avi's "Change on the Rise" is over 7 million views which is not too bad for an act's launch a year ago followed by a pandemic.
My favorite is/was Avi. I also love his solo music. It's sometimes the only thing that can calm my mind.
Dear Barry ☘️ I can’t believe that it’s all a cappella and beatboxing! I swear I heard drums. This is a PTX masterpiece, but then, aren’t they all masterpieces? Don’t you wish there are more superlatives to describe PTX? Love to watch you talk back at their singing 🤣 Thank you for yet another wonderful review. 🤗
@@louisechen7968 - those drums are Kevin, beatboxing with a little help from Avi. 😁. Brilliant, aren’t they.
I am so delighted that you got to this early classic of theirs. Your reaction was just what I expected. Their performances are almost always virtually perfect, with amazing harmonics, superb beatboxing, and innovative changes on covers and great songs on their originals.
One of my favorites of PTX, right below "Sound of Silence". BARRY, you sing so well. I can't wait to hear you do a song. There has to be a video somewhere. Lovely voice! BTW, I tell my daughter every night, "I love you" and the other night I put your Irish spin on it and she said, "Where the heck did that come from?" I blamed you, Barry. ;) Lolve. Heh, love it.
Next... here!
Yes...their brand new cover of Amazing Grace is a must see. Great reaction...love how you watch the video first then react...so many others miss so much by pausing continuously. Thanks and stay safe.
DELIGHTFUL VOCAL SOUND ! A PURE PLEASURE TO HEAR. SO COMPLICATED +WONDERFULLY DONE ! NONE HAVE DONE IT BETTER IMHO.
simply mind blowing, isn't it?!?🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yes, they’re amazing.
Barry loving the fact, you love PTX! Talent know talent! 🤗
I’m new here I’m loving it Barry!
Definitely qualitatious!
Your reactions are always entertaining and at times I have to laugh. Ty for the fun on top of their singing
Barry, you’re absolutely my favorite. So much fun.
Freddie would have loved this. As a kid of the 70s, amazing! just Amazing! Hi,Barry, from the US.
💕💕💕 ***************SOMETIMES, THERE IS JUST NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH*************** 💕💕💕 Really loved your raw & emotional reaction!
Best review EVER...especially when you sang!!!!!!!💙bubida bubida 😅🤣
I’ve watched hundreds of ptx reactions and I enjoy music professionals reactions the best
Hi Berry love your reaction to all the exceptionally gifted stars you are downloading is simply fantastic ! 🙏❤️
One of the best reactions I've ever seen on UA-cam. Your passion, and the fun you were expressing was a really great time.
I love the the sam as Barry, they do beautiful music together, I love them so much feeling, in every
Word. Even if the music was great, when they do it together it’s gorgeous.👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
LOVE your reactions, Barry! And so glad you found Pentatonix. At least 3 of them are from my home state of Texas. I have SUCH talent envy for each and every one of them.
I am so happy you appreciate them as much as I do Barry. They are Phenomenal! Too many PTX songs, too little time. They've been together since 2011. Catch up. You'll love every second ! xo
They are perfect Barry and so are you! This is the BEST reaction video I've ever seen!! Thank you for the joy.
I adore this - your generosity and enthusiasm for this stunning production is just gorgeous
Thank you very much Nick
I was so excited to see a notification that you were doing this song! I am just now getting a chance to watch. I just KNEW you would be thrilled with Mitch's "guitar" solo and Kevin's "drums". This whole thing is so impressive. Seeing them perform this live was even more so. No megaphone for the guitar, just vocals and a mic. AWESOME! It is definitely in my top 5. The newest, Amazing Grace may have taken over my #1 spot. Thanks, Barry! Looking forward to more
I think I’m in love with every one of them……is that possible 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You responded like a person who heard the song for the first time. I know how you feel! One of the greatest songs ever, remade, and good. Freddy would be proud!💋
He does the guitar sound on the live performances with no megaphone and you can tell no difference.
Have you seen them do this live. They are magnificent.
Thank you for your reaction! Stay safe!
No never! So adorable! 🌹💖👏
LOVED THIS REACTION!! 👏🏽👏🏽 so happy you did this one! Now it’s time for Amazing Grace! It’s new so get on that!! 😉
Barry, you are the best! Never stop this.
Thank you so much Chris. We are officially friends!
WOW - what a wonderful surprise - this group is fantastic.
Say hi to the 6th member of PTX: the couch!
Oh that made me laugh! The fact that they were able to finally feel confident to even cover this song, and put in their own story of how far they had come by showcasing the couch, was priceless. Only Pentaholics would understand! 🤗
Gorgeous. Every time! Great reaction. Thank you.
That was amazing and always without music. They are a gifted group of singers I love the way they sings.
Pure talent! No instruments, just real powerful talent! ❤️. Ok! I own a couple of PTX albums!
Truly they have a lovely blending of vocals. A capella music can be so good (despite being a string player, I can appreciate the skill needed to produce such a high quality sound vocally). This video seems to have been recorded outdoors? The steam from their mouths looks like a more northerly location... maybe someone can confirm this? I loved Queen’s original and this is also phenomenal. They all have lovely voices. Great reaction Barry!
It was filmed outdoors in the middle of a chilly night in California. They closed a street to do this. There is a “making of” video on their official UA-cam channel. I will never forget the excitement we all had waiting for this! It was something they had held off doing although they had received many requests for it. They did not feel they could give it the credit it deserved, but finally they felt they could, and they nailed it!
I love 💘 PTX Barry Beautiful 😍 ❤
Bohemian Rhapsody. It's an iconic song. No one could every possibly endeavor to match Queen with this song. And then comes this version by Pentatonix. Listen carefully...is that Mitch impersonating a guitar riff with his voice and a megaphone? Another Pentatonix cover that just transfixes. AMAZING!!
I am blown away with this group. Amazing
Barry. I just got addicted to your reactions😷😇💞
I am an old Motown girl. Never bothered with Queen. Had only heard OF Bohemian Rhapsody. My first hearing was by PTX. At first not a fan of the song, but PTX just drew me in. Can't get away from them.
