  • Juilliard trained opera singer reacts to Pentatonix performing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. 🎶❤️ My FREE course "Sing Better Instantly:" skl.sh/3aHdSuy and our B-E-A-U-TIFUL Family is on Patreon: / maggierenee Thank you for your support! 😊💖
    Pentatonix (abbreviated PTX) is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Avi Kaplan. Characterized by their pop-style arrangements with vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion, and beatboxing, they produce cover versions of modern pop works.
    "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda.

    Would it shock you to find out that Mitch didn't really use the megaphone in the recording? It was just a prop on location the night they were shooting the video and he decided to use it for a visual effect. Whenever they perform this song live, he does it just with his voice...no megaphone...and it works! Another fun fact...they worked on this song for FIVE YEARS before they actually recorded it. They were so respectful of the original Queen version that they wanted the song to be absolutely perfect before they committed it to audio. They must have done something right, because Brian May himself loved the recording and video so much that he posted it on everyone of his social media platforms the day it was released. And did you notice that Kevin actually sang the last line?

      I'm pretty sure she didn't. If you watch closely they never actually show her feet during the jump. They did some fancy camera work and editing to IMPLY she did. And that's about the only cut/cut/cut editing in the whole video. Besides, it would be just too dangerous. A quarter inch off and she's got a badly broken ankle.

    I've heard that Dr. Brian May was very supportive of this video. On the Kirstin/Scott call and response for Gallileo I think they did that one part better than Queen. If you listen to the original closely they're a little off, maybe flat or something. Kirstie and Scott are dead on pitch. The panning effect at the beginning was on the original recording. To make this video they rented a section of a road from 10PM until 6AM. And they were pushed to finish it on time. If you watch the background you can see the pre-dawn lighting on the horizon a few times. A lot of their videos take several hours to film and the changes in the natural light have been noticeable if you look. To counter this they used a small high intensity light in the background on their Sounds of Silence video as the natural lighting changes were even greater on it. Their is or was a video on UA-cam about the making of this video.

    Kevin was giving you a full drum kit, Avi was giving you a bass and a bass guitar over the course of this video. He also does the wind effect while still singing the bass line. And that megaphone is a prop. That was all Mitch making the electric guitar solo. If you check out the live performance, that becomes clear. I thought I also heard a synthesizer sound mocking the keyboards in the piece at a couple of points.

      @@joshuahotz5257 Damn straight, he does. I'm so tired of people still mourning Avi leaving. It was over a third of PTX's _existance_ ago! Can Matt do overtone throat singing? No. Does he have Avi's warm, rich tone? No.
      But does Avi have Matt's uncanny precision with large interval jumps and tricky bass guitar riffs? Not even close! Can Avi blend with the rest of the group totally seamlessly? No, he always kind of stood out, because his voice is _so_ iconic.
      Plus with Avi leaving, now the world gets to hear Avi's solo work. It's a win-win!
      It's just about as bad as people who completely abandoned Dream Theater when Mike Portnoy _quit the band,_ like they were disloyal to him somehow for not... what? Tying him to his throne and forcing him to play? I've even heard people speak of _both_ cases in phrases like, "Since they got rid of [Avi/Portnoy]".
      Was Avi great? Yeah, he was. Did I miss him for a while, too? Sure, I did. But lately, now that I've heard what Matt can bring to the group now that he's had time to gel with them and to get comfortable as a member, I actually find myself wishing I could see Matt in the older videos... I find myself cringing just a little at Avi's slightly sloppy large-interval jumps, and the way he always stands out in the mix, even when he's not supposed to.

    One thing is for sure. The group is absolutely not autotuned. They all tune the chords to such a fine degree the close harmony just works. They make it look so simple, but we all know it is a rare and very special talent. I love the way you react to Pentatonix. They still mice me every time.

    Mitch does a great job as a guitar, Kevin does numerous percussion instruments with his voice & he can also play the cello. Kristen and Mitch, to me, must be the ones who make the violin, viola, and harp sounds - I think that they are killing those sounds in the end of Hallelujah...Avi, Scott, & Matt also seem to be doing very fine imitations of pianos (especially in the lower end of the register) on numerous songs. Love you, Lady! Keep up the wonderful work!

    Honestly, out of all of the vocalists/producers I have seen react to songs you win first place in my book. You bring so much information and point out subtleties that my ears pick up but my brain doesn't and it lets me appreciate the music more than I already do. On top of that, you have so much passion and expression that it's actually worth watching you more than the music videos. I love that you aren't afraid to pause and rewind as well. I watch these for the reactions and education. If I wanted to just watch the music video I would just watch the music video.

    Please let me know if you hear it too. They do a number of homages to Queen in this video, but when Mitch comes in with the start of his solo, I closed my eyes and almost heard Freddie Mercury's voice returned. I think he was homageging the the late great Freddie. And Freddie was classically trained at, I believe, Juilliard, and Avi was also classically trained as an operatic bass. I am a baritone, at the center of the baritone field, but I can cover down to bass, and cover up to a high tenor, almost hitting Mitch-slap territory, but what I cannot do is slide the scales there. I have to consciously alter my key to the new range. I can do minor slides within a particular range field, but I cannot slide an entire 4 octaves like a couple of these people can. And I can approximate belting, but I have heard very few who can belt as well as Kirstie can. The there is the angelic beauty that is Mitch's voice. Then there are Scott and Avi trading off bass and baritone depending on who is singing the lead part. Kevin with the beat boxing and literally an entire drum kit in his vocal cords, almost reminiscent of what Michael Winslow can do with sound effects in general. And when Mitch did that guitar solo with his voice, that got me first time I heard it. There is no end to the surprises these people provide. Their Carol of the Bells is a beautiful rendition of the song, and their Sounds of Silence and Imagine are spectacular homages. I highly recommend them.
