  • In this video, I react for the first time to Pentatonix performing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, the Queen classic. In this video, I analyse their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate their vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. It was magical to witness one of the best songs of all time through the lens of one of the best a Capella groups of all time!

    If there's a UA-cam creator who can react, analyse, explain, entertain, share love and good vibes, and make someone's day in one video, all at the same time, it's Lolli.
    If you want to hear Kirsten, Mitch, and Scott's raw unpolished (yet phenomenal) voices, you just have to watch Superfruit's Frozen Medley (they were called Superfruit before they turned into Pentatonix with the rest of the guys). It's a zero production one take vi, and it's just fun and laughter, especially the bloopers at the end. It's 100% worth (needed actually) checking.

      Umm...not sure what you mean by "they were SF before they turned into PTX" but they were Pentatonix before Scott and Mitch began their vlog they called Superfruit as a side project after Pentatonix began to recover from losing the original recording contract and gaining a new one with Madison Gate.

    The megaphone is a prop in the most literal sense of the word. There is a video of them doing this song live, no megaphone and sounds exactly the same. The shooting stars are a tribute to Dr. Brian May, astrophysicist and guitarist extraordinaire. Just more PTX goodness which you can never have enough of.

    I’ve heard a lot of great reactions to this cover by PTX, but this is by far my favorite. I loved hearing you break down the parts, and appreciate each of their contributions. I think you’re the only person who I’ve seen review this who mentioned that the guitar solo includes harmonics by Scott and Kirstie, which I agree, really sells the realistic guitar sound, That and Mitchie bending his vocals like a string. Hearing this live is mind-blowing. They like to use it for their final encore. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for this fantastic reaction!

    Pentatonix bohemian rhapsody insights
    . So, some things to know about this cover and video: -It took PTX years to get the arrangement to where they felt they could do the original masterpiece justice. -The cover, and especially the video, was meant to be an homage to Queen. Some of the moments paying respect were: The mono-recording of the line "easy come, easy go" followed by the panning of the voices from left to right on the line "little high, little low" (which is how the original was recorded), obviously the flashlights being used to mimic the lighting on the operatic part of the original video, the four shooting stars to represent the four members of Queen, as well as acknowledge the fact that Dr. Brian May is an astrophysicist, and the overhead shot of them lying on the couch is to represent the Sheer Heart Attack album cover. -The megaphone was just a prop. It is not needed to reproduce the electric guitar distortion. -PTX can, and does, perform this live with no backing track...something even Queen and the Great Freddie Mercury could not do. -Freddy once said he didn't care what people did with his music as long as they "...don't make it boring, darling!", so I think he would absolutely approve. -The overall video--with the "living room" and couch--is an homage to Pentatonix's own journey as a group. They lost their record deal right after winning the Sing Off and moving to LA, so they started putting out videos on UA-cam, performing covers. They would sit on the couch in Kevin (beatboxer) and Avi's (bass) living room and just record themselves on Mitch's (counter tenor who took the lead on this song) iPad. Some of their earliest videos went viral and they eventually were able to secure a new deal, record an EP, go on tour, release chart-topping albums and win three Grammy awards...so they moved out of the living room and down this new, unknown road. At the end of the day, though, they're still the same choir-nerds they've always been; just happy to sit together on a couch and sing. Also when Brian Mays heard it..he posted it on his web site with the word "enjoy"

    Regarding the wind noise you speak on at 4:46, I'm about 85% sure that that is Avi and it isn't dubbed in after. I'm pretty certain he has mastered the ability to sing bass notes with his throat/mouth/tongue and make wind noises with his lips/teeth at the same time, similar to his ability to do Mongolian Throat Singing. Another instance you can see/hear him at this is in Pentatonix's Daft Punk Medley, around the 1:57 mark; there you can clearly see his lips formed for the wind noise and see his larynx moving like he's hitting his bass notes.

    Dear Fairy Voice Mother... I have been waiting on tenterhooks for you to react to another Pentatonix video. It seems like forever ago you did the last one, but this was certainly worth the wait. Joyful, comprehensive, entertaining analysis, as always. The next time you're moved to share some PTX with us, please consider their cover of Kiiara's "Gold." The original is a digitally enhanced, over-produced and yet unremarkable song (in my opinion) the wizards of Pentatonix stripped down to a one-take exhibition of vocal gymnastics that I think will surprise and delight you. PTX and FVM... it doesn't get any better! 🥰

    These guys are just flippin amazing alien unicorns! It took them 5 years to feel ready to do this song and to do it the justice that it deserves. They are all massive Queen fans. Brian May, lead guitarist from Queen, heard this song when it came out and posted a link to his socials with the one word comment 'Enjoy!' I feel like that is giving Queen's Seal of Approval right there!
    They also inserted a lot of references and easter eggs into this video in tribute to the original video - which by the way, if you haven't seen - you should probably check it out! Queen couldn't perform this song live because of all the layering they did in post! And not only can Pentatonix do this Live, but the Mitch Grassi Guitar has no need for a Megaphone. Mitch just saw it lying around the set and decided to use it to draw attention to who was doing the guitar solo part - the megaphone was not on, Mitch can do this live!
    The couch is in reference to their beginning videos where they recorded themselves on various of theirs couches to post onto UA-cam after they were dropped by Sony because they didn't think that Acapella would be popular enough to sell records. It is also a tip of the hat to Wayne's World movie scene with the car and head banging to this song which brought in a whole new generation to Queen's music!
    The part where Mitch is laying on the couch is in reference to Freddie's death and the members walking alongside are his coffin's Pallbearers. A lot of the visuals in here are in tribute to the original video's trippy graphics; like when they all line up and do the 'oh, oh, oh's' one after the other, and also when they line up behind Kirstie standing on the couch only to fan out behind her with their vocal parts.
    The shot of the sky is in tribute to Dr. Brian May who is Queen's lead guitarist and also an astrophysicist! Each shooting star represents a member of Queen. When they all collapse onto the couch with the shot from above is a homage to the cover art of Queen's record 'Sheer Heart Attack'
    Also I am pretty sure, Mitch is a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury - one...he can grow the Freddie Stash and looks so much like Freddie that it is kinda creepy - two...he can sing just as high if not higher than Freddie could - and three...Freddie died 8 months before Mitch was born!

This tour de force highlights their ability to mix what appears to be totally independent sounds but they fit perfectly, it also is the best example of Kevin’s amazing cello abilities other than his solo “Down” performance.

    Actually, the wind sounds are produced by Avi. Yes, he can do his part alongside the wind sounds simultaneously. Weird, right? Just like Kevin being an entire drum kit with cymbals, Mitch being an electric guitar, and Avi being a bass guitar at various points during the performance.
    Kevin is also the perfect choice for what you suggest because he is the one with perfect pitch, and he can hit the note he needs at will. That is also what helps him being the perfect beatboxer, the steward of the rhythm section.

    Fantastic informative reaction! I love the 'Grassi guitar' - the megaphone is just a prop though for the video, Mitch sings the guitar solo live just with his voice and it sound sjust as good! I really think they should have won a Grammy for this one. It is one of the best a cappella arangements ever in my opinion. Brian May thinks so too. He posted it on his socials when it came out with just one word 'Enjoy'. They waited six years before doing this one because they wanted to do it justice. They are just aliens from the planet vocal genius! I love them all but I'll be a Mitch fan for live. I've been a Pentaholic since they started in 2012 but only managed to see them live for the first time in May this year in London and they were phenomenal. In nearly 40 years of going to concerts I've seen some amazing artists but none of them were a patch on PTX live. I think the fact they are so close and Mitch Scott and Kirsty have known each other since they were 8-10 years old and sang in high school together is what makes them so in sync. They were born to sing together - along with Kevin and now Matt. Matt had big shoes to fill in Avi but he has been brilliant. I would really recommend some of their original music - it's very underrated. Their brand new song I Rise is amazing and really anthemic!

    Great reaction Lolli. You pointed out things on the guitar solo no one else has, that it wasn't just Mitch on the megaphone. Brilliant dissection of PTX's performance. BTW, for your viewing pleasure, I recommend "[Behind the Scenes] - Bohemian Rhapsody - Pentatonix". It is their video of them filming and staging Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Ms Lolli,
    As usual, you’ve made the music magic! PTX put five years into this song and I think we all agree that they really accomplished something. I love how you always point out something that I had never noticed, and I’ve seen this video a hundred times before. Having to do with your post about your health issues, I’ve been through a lot of instances where my body has betrayed me, so I know what you’re going through and I’m sending my love and prayers for improvement of that naughty knee.

    You really need to listen to them live. I suggest their Popspring 2016 concert. 3 of their original songs and the Evolution of Michael Jackson.

    I love watching your reactions! Your enjoyment of the music is a joy to watch, and I've learned so much about music from watching your commentary. In addition to the information about the notes and the singer's techniques, it has really helped me understand and appreciate the level of detail and sophistication in PTX"s arrangements. No matter how stunning their voices are, without the arrangements they gift us with, they would never have become as well known (or as enjoyable) without the geniuses behind the arrangements. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of music with such unmitigated joy and vulnerability!

    Great reaction!!! I love their cover... did you notice that the second guitar solo (17:06), originally strummed by Brian May - is where they pay homage to Brian by showing the meteor shower??? Brian May is an astrophysicist and this acapela voice salute to Brian and the videos tip of the hat is brilliant!

    UA-cam notifications suck, I’m so sad I saw this 9 days after you posted it. But I’m so glad I finally saw it. Your energy and reactions always make me so happy! They are the trio, they belong together! They perform this live! Queen’s drummer has posted this video on his socials multiple times and said “enjoy”. The only thing missing from this video is Mitch with his Freddie Mercury stash.
