don't get me wrong, Mitch letting out his inner electric guitar is the best thing I've ever heard but why are we not talking about him hitting the highest note of the song? like dude his range is absolutely insane and I couldn't ever even dream of trying to match him and god I love him so much haha
@@jymcotton9904 there are some videos of him singing even higher than that, and im sure those videos do not have autotune. and if you still dont believe it, well, then keep existing with that sad thought that everything and everyone is fake, nothing is real and there is no real talent anymore.
I'm 25 years old Korean women and Pentatonix was my favorite in my teenage-hood. I was bullied and depressed at that time, and the reason I overcame the tragedy was Pentatonix. As far as I remember, I went to your concert in middle school. I saved a lot of money for a month for your concert in Korea, and the memories of that day were my everything. I still watch your past videos sometimes. The songs that helped me the most when I had a hard time...
Hang in there TunaChoi-lo. Time and good music and good friends will eventually make you whole. It was music that got me through many hard times. I'm 74 now. I made it!
He said it him self, he wasn’t just a rockstar he was a legend. And you know he was right you can never make his music boring because it was some of the best music ever created
I know Freddie is smiling down about this version. What an incredible group of individually talented people who blend into so much more than the sum of the various members. Pentatonix will never disappoint !!!

Seriously going to miss Avi. :( He put such a unique touch into the group. He's not leaving until the announced shows on the tour is over though, so we have until atleast August with him.
When Queen brought this out I was in my teens and it blew me away with goosebumps all over. Today in my 60s Pentatonix have done it again. Thanks guys for recreating the magic. RIP Freddy xx
After watching the film yesterday, I really saw how money can’t buy happiness, I really felt pity for freddie from his struggles but I was so happy seeing how Queen built their legacy, it was so amazing. 👌
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen

For those who are new here Avi - Bass Guitarist Kevin - Drummer Scott - Male Vocals/Piano Kirstin - Female Vocals/Piano Mitch - Vocalist (High Notes)/Electric Guitarist 🤣🤣🤣
9 million views in 6 days! That's amazing. From Guitar Grassi to Kevin sounding like a drum kit. From the background vocals to Avi's low notes. From the moving couch to the megaphone. This video takes you on a ride from the first note to the end. Amazing work from 5 talented people. They raise the bar every single time.
Pentatonix is phenomenal! Their total artistry - inventiveness, harmonies, musicality, sound effects, acting and staging etc. are all so wonderful. They took a one of a kind masterpiece in Bohemian Rhapsody and added new qualities to it. Unbelievable.
Taylor Krutsch As soon as I saw the title of the video I thought "holy crap Mitch better star in this." I was not disappointed. Also I love how much fun he was having with the guitar part XD
I am a 76 year old who happened upon Hallelujah about a month ago and i am going through their videos and they are absolutely fabulous young adults! Congratulations to them and hope they continue!
Welcome to the Pentaholic's world. We love these people ! You'll be amazed with every song you try. How about the Grammy winning, DANCE of the SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, with no words. Lots of Christmas songs that are magnificent, MARY DID YOU KNOW, and GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN. Have fun. :)
Wow. Im a huge Queen fan and it takes a lot of guts to cover one of their songs especially this one its one of the greatest songs of all time. Ive heard a few covers of Bohemian Rhapsody and this one imo is the ONLY one Freddie would be happy with. All of this from beginning to finish was very well done. Kudos to y'all you definitely did it justice.
When the original came out, I was a teenager, heard it on the radio, and immediately bought the record. This is the 2nd version of the original I've heard. WELL DONE!!
Speaking as an life long Queen fan that is fabulous , definitely not a imitation like so many try to be. Your own interpretation and a fabulous one it is. Thank you for breathing new life into a classic song
Omg this gave me nostalgia, coz I’m one of the few trumpets in the oldest band, coz there’s like no trumpets in my school, and i is year 7, and we are playing bohemian rhapsody in band, we have no French horns and French horns are meant to also do that part but so far it’s just me the 4tg trumpet, and the 3rd but she never comes to band
Freddie: You can do what you want with my music, just don’t make it boring. Pentatonix: Makes this a capella version of Bohemian Rhapsody Freddie above: Beautiful darling, beautiful
@@BamesNondHavingStronk Look crap if you do not know this is not the original music here I leave the link to the original ua-cam.com/video/fJ9rUzIMcZQ/v-deo.html And now listen to the music they made in this video (Not the link, the video in which we are commenting) that ruin the original music
@@PaPuLy no one tell that this is the original version though. Can u just appreciate what their doing? This is a COVER. Of course the original one is better.
Well, what can I say? I was going to swear. I am a big Queen fan and usually I hate anyone doing a cover of any of their songs but you guys killed it. I have loved a lot of your past works but this one is brilliant. Love it.
Hey, newbie Pentaholic here from UK. Great how you all sound together working in unison, harmony or beats and the timing precision is amazing. Love the way each one has a moment to shine yet supported by the other members. The choice of Mitch was inspired both vocally but also for his showmanship such as when you all go freestyle on the couch and Mitch goes crazy as a guitar. Freddy would certainly be happy. It’s been quoted that Freddy Mercury said “I don’t care what you do with my music as long as you don’t make me sound boring” You all lived up to wishes. To add the cream on top, your smiles, enjoyment and passion shine over it all. You seem to live in the music. I look forward to exploring the rabbit hole. ❤
Who needs a backup band? We have percussion with the beatboxing, Mitch has guitar covered and I even heard the brass with the wah, wah, wah. Queen has always been one of my favorite groups and it's not hard to say, altho it is surprising, that this cover is just as good as the original. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth but once again, y'all did the original artist/group proud.
Man with a beard: Avi Kaplan, the bass of the group Blond man: Scott Hoying, residential baritone Tall African American man sitting next to Avi (for lack of a better description): Kevin Olusola, human drumset (beatboxer) Girl: Kirstin Maldonado, mezzi soprano Human electric guitar: Mitch Grassi, resident countertenor, queen of high notes.
Producer: "How are we going to do the guitar solo?" Mitch: *rolls eyes and grabs megaphone and walks into recording booth* Producer: "And...and the drums?" Mitch: *rolls eyes* "Kevin, follow me"
Fun fact: Deke Sharon, who was the inspiration for the character of Beca Mitchell in the Pitch Perfect movies, was the first person to bring beatboxing into the mainstream a cappella scene
They mixed this perfectly! They brought out all the frequencies they need to for clear sound and clearly audible lines like his bass voice that you wouldn't really be able to hear if this wasn't processed
this video is the embodiment of what a capella should be. ptx breaks down the boundaries of music and makes the impossible, possible. it's no wonder why their so famous, they deserve it for all their hard work they put into their music; thank you for this so much p.s. im still waiting for you guys to come to Oahu
Amazing. Exactly what I was looking for! Everyone is saying it's 'auto tuned' and 'terrible' when it's really amazing and a beautiful journey through an a cappella song. They do make the impossible possible. I think of PTX as my heros.
Thank you Pentatonix for reminding us again how epic this song really is, and for paying tribute to the legendary Queen. You more than did this song justice. Just unbelievably good!🥰🥰🥰
Every Pentatonix song brings me to tears. Their professionalism is breath taking. In Queens original there was a guitar solo that Mitch reproduces with his vocal cords. Phenomenal!!!!!
I'd be honored if some Pentatonix fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal UA-cam performances of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
Mitch - Magnificent range.
Scott - Amazing as always.
Kirstie - Beautiful harmonies. Every note was crystal-clear.
Avi - Incredible. We will certainly miss you.
Kevin - Just...wow.
Oh no! Is Avi leaving the group?

[Intro: All & Mitch]
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
To me
[Verse 1: Mitch, (Kirstin & Scott)]
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
Didn't mean to make you cry
(I'm not back again) If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
(Oh, carry on) Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
[Verse 2: Mitch & (Avi)]
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[Acapella Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: All, Scott, Avi & (Kirstin)]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Let him go! - Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go! - Bismillah! We will not let you go
Let him go! - Will not let you go
Let him go! - Will not let you go
Let me go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
[Verse 4: Scott & All]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby!
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right out of here!

Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

2:34 that base is so unreal. Perfect tuning on that jumps
I think Freddie would have loved and been honored by this tribute.
He wouldnt
@@BabyItsSunny i agree . The autotune is strong with this . The only person who can do this marc martel
I mean I don’t think he would be HONORED but he might like it
well, Dr Brian May liked it. And there was no autotune, it is PTX you are talking about
@@BabyItsSunny would you like to tell us why not?
Everyone’s talking about Mitch being a guitar, but no ones talking about Kevin *sad drum noises*
신엽 BUD DUM TSSS😂
He has become the bass
@@amateurproductions3744 ?
@@amateurproductions3744 lookat this dude
oof
The mix of vocals here is perfect. Also they have achieved human drums and human electric guitar. My favourite acapella band by far.
@Pelope Chris Sorry but I don't listen anything but PTX now. I haven't listened to any other songs for weeks.
When the original came out, I was a teenager, heard it on the radio, and immediately bought the record. This is the 2nd version of the original I've heard. WELL DONE!!
Sometimes I forget that they are doing a cappella
Same
No but Mitch with the megaphone doing the guitar part made my day
Me too
Jordy Li Same😂
Hana Peserlin1929 Yes it's all them amazing isn't it!
This was not a music video. This was a journey
We hope you enjoyed the journey! ;)
PTXofficial I Loved it❤

I can't believe you replied....
:o
Just know we love you all
lizardgirl23 yeah its a journey
Pentatonix I love you most
AHAHHA yes
Manager - The guitarist is sick.
Mitch - Give me a damn megaphone.
EDIT: thanks for the likes. Merry Christmas :*
Ha yep

Steel don’t judge
Lexie Sawvel I’m not judging, I’m simply correcting him.
@@lynniee17706 ? ? ?
Speaking as an life long Queen fan that is fabulous , definitely not a imitation like so many try to be. Your own interpretation and a fabulous one it is. Thank you for breathing new life into a classic song
Director: start picking up the guitar
Mitch: let me introduce myself
If you're trying to pick up the guitar you have make a pass at Mitch!
“Let me take this minute to tell you. A little bit about MYself.”
*ghahahahah
director: *picks up mitch *
Kevin - I can't beatbox a guitar
Avi - my voice is to low
Mitch - step back bitches I got this
*too
Shannon there is always one
Shannon bet you're a legend at parties 🎉
I wouldn't know, I can't leave my house
Shannon I guess that's why you stay on UA-cam correcting people
Everybody talks about the guitar thing, but no one talks how good avi is at 2:35
Ps. I miss avi so much :
Yaaaaaas😍😍😍😍😍
Definitely my fav part of the song😍
OMFG SHUT UP FREDDY IS DADDY
That was really smooth
Omg this gave me nostalgia, coz I’m one of the few trumpets in the oldest band, coz there’s like no trumpets in my school, and i is year 7, and we are playing bohemian rhapsody in band, we have no French horns and French horns are meant to also do that part but so far it’s just me the 4tg trumpet, and the 3rd but she never comes to band
Most would be scared to tackle that song,you guys knocked it out of the park
I love Avi’s voice at 2:36
SAMEE
i was just going to comment that....
Ally Brett that's not Avi
Ally Brett i
Filming In Portland yes it is
The best acapplla group ever
Lalawmpuia KC nope
marcus velissarides one of the best tho
The group is one of the best, no doubt, but they sound a bit too artificial. My favs are Take 6 and Real Group (Sweden)
Freddie: You can do what you want with my music, just don’t make it boring.
Pentatonix: Makes this a capella version of Bohemian Rhapsody
Freddie above: Beautiful darling, beautiful
No, esta horrible
@@PaPuLy not as horrible as your attitude
@@BamesNondHavingStronk Look crap if you do not know this is not the original music here I leave the link to the original ua-cam.com/video/fJ9rUzIMcZQ/v-deo.html And now listen to the music they made in this video (Not the link, the video in which we are commenting) that ruin the original music
@@PaPuLy no one tell that this is the original version though. Can u just appreciate what their doing? This is a COVER. Of course the original one is better.
@@salmaainunnafiah8246 In fact if you check the comments you will see that there are children who believe that this is the original :|

I saw them last year in Noblesville, Indiana. They were outrageously awesome.

@@rn0ri475 same. I almost my phone's screen, from scratching at that seemingly stubborn piece of hair.
Well, what can I say? I was going to swear. I am a big Queen fan and usually I hate anyone doing a cover of any of their songs but you guys killed it. I have loved a lot of your past works but this one is brilliant. Love it.
You know what? Thank you. I'm glad you aren't saying Pentatonix isn't worthy of covering a Queen song or something.
-Love from true Pentatonix Fans
wow
@@lilettex0421 I am a Pentatonix fan too. Love all their work.
Director: what instrument do u play?
Mitch: Yes
I guess he doesn’t play the instrument... he sings it 😆
there vocal cords lol x
Yes, he plays ALL of them!!!!!!
@@sammier.6125 both at once.
@Kakyoin Noriaki Near resurrected me LoL
Hey, newbie Pentaholic here from UK. Great how you all sound together working in unison, harmony or beats and the timing precision is amazing. Love the way each one has a moment to shine yet supported by the other members. The choice of Mitch was inspired both vocally but also for his showmanship such as when you all go freestyle on the couch and Mitch goes crazy as a guitar. Freddy would certainly be happy. It’s been quoted that Freddy Mercury said “I don’t care what you do with my music as long as you don’t make me sound boring” You all lived up to wishes. To add the cream on top, your smiles, enjoyment and passion shine over it all. You seem to live in the music. I look forward to exploring the rabbit hole. ❤

I just noticed Avi playing his air bass at 2:47 love it when he does that
Jon Bellion Lyrics um...that's Mitch
becky muir Avi is playing his imaginary air bass in the background :P
becky muir the sound mitch was doing wasnt even bass
Jon Bellion Lyrics
Then he gets smothered by the fog machine. 😆
They were all doing it...but it's not out of the normal for Avi to do this
Beard dudes bass voice is so epic, it's so low and powerful
Sadly he left the group u.u
His name is Avi Kaplan. He's still doing music.
Avi??
@@luminousart1795 yesh. Avriel and the Seqoias or something like that. He's also doing stuff on his own.
Logan Hayden u should watch there dance of the sugar plum fairy
Who needs a backup band? We have percussion with the beatboxing, Mitch has guitar covered and I even heard the brass with the wah, wah, wah. Queen has always been one of my favorite groups and it's not hard to say, altho it is surprising, that this cover is just as good as the original. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth but once again, y'all did the original artist/group proud.
Can we all just once acknowledge the epic beatboxing by the front 2 guys
Man with a beard: Avi Kaplan, the bass of the group
Blond man: Scott Hoying, residential baritone
Tall African American man sitting next to Avi (for lack of a better description): Kevin Olusola, human drumset (beatboxer)
Girl: Kirstin Maldonado, mezzi soprano
Human electric guitar: Mitch Grassi, resident countertenor, queen of high notes.
It's.....just one guy tho. The other is the bass
@@rivby3695 what impressed me is that the bass guy can go down into a low A minor and a really low G.
Yusss
And sadly now Avi left... he was my favorite.
2:35 "Any way the wind blows". the bass sounds so damn nice. satisy my eargasm
That was my favourite part! Kudos to Avi!
IKR!
I'm replaying that part excessively lol
That's the only good part honestly.
@@deviousnefariousvillainous2370 that’s also my favorite part but are you okay????? the whole thing is fucking amazing

How are you going to dislike when Mitch actually became a guitar
I love you.
😂
Konrad The Wolf 😂😂😂😂😂

He's not just a guitar.
He's an electric guitar! ;)
Producer: "How are we going to do the guitar solo?"
Mitch: *rolls eyes and grabs megaphone and walks into recording booth*
Producer: "And...and the drums?"
Mitch: *rolls eyes* "Kevin, follow me"
LMFAOOO
*i can actually see this happening*
I forgot that was mouth drums
There's so many of these it's so funny
Fun fact: Deke Sharon, who was the inspiration for the character of Beca Mitchell in the Pitch Perfect movies, was the first person to bring beatboxing into the mainstream a cappella scene
The struggle of wanting to sing along and listen to them at the same time 😭😍
The struggle is real.
PTXofficial u guys srsly slay too much for my heart to handle
Tan Jeng Woon trueeee
I know the feel
Tan Jeng Woon I use a headphone to avoid my voice ruining the song.
Love the reproduction of the ghost look, perfect to the original Queen video. The guitar solo with Mitch is amazing!
they took a serious risk with this one. a very beloved song. but they did SO GREAT!!! I love hearing the bass notes more clearly!! goosebumps!!
this is kind of an a capella no-no in a way. So hard to get right.
yeah, BUUUUTTT it does sound cool.
2:35--Avi's "anywhere the wind blows."
Beautiful...
De
the best
The sound is so beautiful in this part!🤩
The sound quality is immaculate. They did an absolutely amazing job mixing this one. Still one of their best works!
They mixed this perfectly! They brought out all the frequencies they need to for clear sound and clearly audible lines like his bass voice that you wouldn't really be able to hear if this wasn't processed
Immaculate! Now you are quoting Simon Cowell from American Idol in 2009! I love it.!
sound quality is amazing. it is crazy what computers are able to do with automatic digital tuning algorithms.
Absolutely
too much processing sadly.
Krása .....Lidský hlas je ten nejlepší hudební nástroj na světě......
this video is the embodiment of what a capella should be. ptx breaks down the boundaries of music and makes the impossible, possible. it's no wonder why their so famous, they deserve it for all their hard work they put into their music; thank you for this so much
p.s.
im still waiting for you guys to come to Oahu
Amazing. Exactly what I was looking for! Everyone is saying it's 'auto tuned' and 'terrible' when it's really amazing and a beautiful journey through an a cappella song. They do make the impossible possible. I think of PTX as my heros.
Spongegar Is My Name I THOUGHT THIS WAS MY CONMENT AND SOMEBODY HACKED INTO MY ACCOUNT AND I WAS FREAKING OUT
Spongegar Is My Name I
Spongegar Is My Name They have fun with it too and most a capella groups aren't much fun. They break stereotypes.
Can I just say props to Kirstie for climbing that couch like 10 times in those heels 👌🏼👌🏼❣️
Tara Blake probably a lot more than 10.
She helped Mitch up onto the couch 4:12 and he just has platforms 😂 if Scott wasn't so tall neither would have to wear those shoes
She is always awesome in heels like that
She's REALLY short compared to everyone else she needed to catch up so I'm sure she is used to tall heels now😂
do what you want with my music, but don't make it boring - Freddie mercury
how to get likes 101
Rip haha
Well they failed at that
@@frostyplays3406 do it better then...
@@frostyplays3406 the video was a bit plain but the rest was on fleek
Thank you Pentatonix for reminding us again how epic this song really is, and for paying tribute to the legendary Queen. You more than did this song justice. Just unbelievably good!🥰🥰🥰
3:26 Galileo
Freddie in heaven: higher
Definitely.
So that just dogs will hear that 😂🥰
Freddie said by the way that Heaven is boring and that he will go to hell.
HIGHER DARLING
Great!
Every Pentatonix song brings me to tears. Their professionalism is breath taking. In Queens original there was a guitar solo that Mitch reproduces with his vocal cords. Phenomenal!!!!!
I'd be honored if some Pentatonix fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal UA-cam performances of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
