Don’t forget, Patrons get early release Music reactions before everyone else! BISMILAH NOOOOOO!!!! www.patreon.com/DianeJennings
GREAT Conducting Diane. You really got into it.🎉😊
Patron Rules
I would suggest Snotty Nose Rez Kids, but it's a LOT to explain. A lot of references many wouldn't understand.
"This is me eating Tony....nom nom nom nom..."
You should listen to the Highlander soundtrack! ❤ And yes I do think this is the most universally loved song of the last 50 yrs at least! Of not it should be!
I can never get through this song without acting like the boys in Wayne's World when it gets to the rocking out bridge. 😂🤘
I feel ya!
Same here 😂 Party on! 🤘
Me to too head can’t stop rocking back Fourth😂 🤘
Party On!
@@DianeJennings advanced choir 5 years.....competed against Kentwood High..... with Spears!!!
Wasn't scared .......and little fact
Freddie was from the middle east
YOU CAN SEE WHY HE LEFT
Freddie was one of the greatest front men in rock history. His performance at Live Aid in 1985 is the stuff of legends.
Agreed, hope Diane takes a listen since it's right here in UA-cam.
"one of" is such a weird way to spell "THE". :)
@@Gnomaana LOL, one of is right.
He sucked! What a band of crap! PoP clap trap! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
“We Are the Champions” is my favorite Queen song. At the end of every sports season, one team and their fanbase gets to sing it.
I like that one too!
Your reaction was precious.
My favorite Queen song is an older one _Killer Queen._ The song has a clever lyric and great music with accents peppered through it.
The solo guitarist, Brian May, had been working on his doctorate in Astrophysics when he joined the band. After Freddy Mercury passed away the band went on hiatus. During that time he decided to finish his doctoral thesis, a difficult analysis of dust in interstellar space, and in 2007, at the age of 60, became Dr. Brian May. This year he was knighted by King Charles, and is now fully titled as Sir Doctor Brian Harold May. _I am not worthy!_
If you haven't already considered Guns n' Roses, then try _Welcome to the Jungle._
I still think a departure from classic rock might be in order for a change. You might enjoy Billy Joel's _Piano Man_ or Harry Chapin's _Taxi._
They’re on the list 🎉
I put down Fat Bottom Girls because I have been listening to it alot lately. But, I totally forgot Killer Queen. I love that song. And the video is a must.
"The Show Must Go On" is the tour de force for Freddie Mercury. One of the last songs recorded before he died and the voice was absolutely amazing.
This song is a road trip MUST! Queen is one of those bands where every time I revisit them, I like them more & discover more songs to enjoy
Definitely!!!
Even though you’ve heard Queen before, this was a great choice
Awesome music, great lyrics, plus Freddie Mercury’s voice
Your lip-syncing and conducting, really had me amused
And the OG’s will remember: No synthesizers were used!
Yes, I remember the "No Synthesizers!" liner notes on their early albums.
Awesome poem! No idea about synthesizers?
My favorite Queen song is "The Show Must Go On". Not only my favorite of theirs, my favorite song ever since I was 12. It will never be dethroned. Freddie Mercury is the best of all time!
I love that in moulin rouge!!
@@DianeJennings Didn't even know that was ever used in a musical.
I like how Bicycle Race and Fat Bottomed Girls reference each other.
His vocal range and musical talent is unparalleled. Miss him
You are not alone in missing Freddie
you have a-choir-ed many skills along the way
Oh dad joke win 🥇
This is by far the best Queen song ever. I loved this song for a long time. I recall doing the whole Wayne's World movie scene with my buddies while playing this song. Good times, good times.
Great video as always Diane! FYI Canadian music icon Gordon Lightfoot passed away yesterday. He was about as quintessentially Canadian as maple syrup and ice hockey. Not sure if it’s a good fit for a reaction video or not, but take a listen to a song or two if you want. His hits include The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Sundown and If you could read my mind.
Lots of his songs, for sure!
I didn't know he passed away. 😢
When Bohemian Rhapsody came out, I first heard it on a local radio station. I was totally blown away as nothing had ever sounded like that! Then I had to wait to find out what group this was as the station played a few songs in a row then said what they played. Very shortly after that and a visit to a record store, I bought A Night At The Opera.
Enjoyed this immensely. Truly a great Rock anthem. Keep up the excellent work, Diane!
Oh, Diane, your enthusiasm never fails to give me a good ol grin. Great craic!
Thank you for sharing your personal relationship with the song. Your animation of the video added a dimension that made your posting extra enjoyable. Press on, girl. 👍👍👍
Great job! It was fun watching you enjoy one of my favorite bands!
Love your choices in music Diane!! Every one is a classic from legendary bands!
I was way more interested in your actions than the actual video. You are so fun! My family and I are big fans of yours, because you always make us smile. Great job, please keep making videos.
Happy Wednesday Diane! This was another great song to listen to and react. My first exposure to this song was when I had seen the film "Wayne's World" and saw him and his pals rocking out to this gem! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reactions to this classic! Have a great rest of your week Diane and be well! 😎👍♥️🎉
Saw them at the Santa Monic Civic on this Tour in 1976. It seated 2500 people and they only played three nights. Saw them 10th row first night and 11th row last night but Freddy had a little runway that went to the 10th row so we were front row and Freddy would lean out over us and drip his sweat on us. BEST CONCERT EVER!!! They never played anything this small in L.A. again. Sooo blessed! Saw Bowie in '73 and it was an incredible show but nothing like Queen. Check out their first four albums, like Zep, they are the greatest! Blessings
The best one you've done yet. Thank you
Thank you for this one!! Great way to end my work week!!
I'm so glad to see your reaction to this one! I consider Freddie Mercury to be the best singer every - his voice is incredible, his sense of timing, etc. We lost him much too young.
Thank you so much for reacting to it Diane!
LOL, your such a natural comedic personality!! :) love your vids!!
One of my favourite UA-camrs and one of my favourite songs. I wasn't disappointed
I love that you have been doing music reactions for the last year? maybe. Your takes are interesting and funny.
A great reaction. To see you relive your Irish choir days in this song was wonderful. Thank you
Can’t believe how our reactions, both in singing and arm waving matched throughout the entire song. Loved it👍👍
Awesome video as usual Diane❤.
I love how you conduct during this song! Then you sway your head and just get lost in the music, just awesome! Queen is such a great band to get lost in their music!
Can't really pick a favorite queen song. I did see them live in 1977. Nice reaction, you are so charming.
I loved your reaction to the chimes during the line “sent shivers down my spine”. I have watched dozens of different reactions to Bohemian Rhapsody and no one ever catches the tingling chimes!
American choirs are typically nothing like Glee. At least not in my part of the South. Everyone stands on risers in matching attire (typically dresses for girls/ black slacks and white dress shirts for boys). A school right across the state line from me won the best choir in South Carolina. That’s a pretty awesome achievement
🎉
Generally agree. Our concert choirs wore choir robes, stood with arms at out sides and we sang mostly classical or Latin liturgical pieces (oddly in a secular public high school 🤷♂️). We did have "show choirs" that sang different things with choreography (the men's show choir sang mainly comedy songs like the 12 days after Christmas)
That was also my experience in choirs (Jr. High, High School, and College), but that was in the 1960's/early 1970's, so some change wouldn't surprise me. We wore robes, standing on risers as you describe.
🆒
I don't think anything in reality is ever like Glee. That show's reality leaned hard into the reality bending antics of movie musicals where heavily choreographed routines can just spring up spontaneously and sweep up whole crowds of bystanders in their magic.
Many bands have come and gone. But Queen? Queen will be forever. I don't think they had any idea that they would create a musical legacy that would transcend generations. No auto-tune. No gimmicks. Just four very talented people making beautiful music.
My favorites will always be "Somebody to love" & "Princes of the Universe"
Another band worth giving a listen to: The Animals. Eric Burdon has an awesome voice. "House of the rising sun" & "Don't let me be misunderstood"
Always a good choice Diane. It looks like you were really getting into the conducting however, I had no idea what you were trying to say. I’m just glad you got a chance to say it.
You just made my day ! Thanks
I really loved watching your enjoyment of this song! There is no one like Freddie Mercury & Queen for showmanship - they are incredible. One of my favorite Queen songs is Who Wants to Live Forever written by Brian May for the film Highlander (1986) and also used in the Highlander TV series (1992 - 1998).
Great conducting, Diane!!
Epic song. I remember when it came out and ran out and bought the album. Great band and Freddie was an amazing front man
Excellent song you conducted, Conductor Diane.
Not all American school choirs are "Glee" style. Even my tiny school (waaay back in the 80s) had both a pop style "swing choir" and the more formal style you described where diction was very important and a dropped consonant was indeed frowned upon 🙂
You look like your having so much fun with this song. This is my favorite song from Queen.
When you started enunciating the words, I about fell off my chair. You are hilarious!!! I loved this reaction. I remember singing in the school choir. It was the same for me. I think you might like Rush. Enjoy the rest of your week. I hope Chewie is ok.
Queen Bohemian Rhapsody Good Choice. Another good Queen song to listen to is Crazy little thing called Love. First thing I think of is Wayne's World Every time I hear this song. I took choir in middle school 7th through 9th grade. The majority of us have sang this song playing on the radio in the car. One of the most sung songs in karaoke. The Rock Guitar Solo legendary. I like the theatre acting effect, singing, and air guitar you added to the video you rock. Chewie looks partied out like he needs some sleep stat. Thanks for making the world a better place one rock video at a time. A recommended Band to Review is Journey. Happy Rock N Roll Wonderfully Weird Wednesday Party On. 🎸🎤🎵
Samesies on Wayne's World lol. Such a great movie!!
Most definitely a car song!!! Thanks Rickey
@@DianeJennings Your Welcome Diane! Carpool Karaoke 🎤🎸🎉🥰
@@JohnMurphy-bo4fe Right Timeless Classic
I absolutely loved this! Ok so now for extra fun rewatch this with the volume off.... you get the funniest dance video 😂❤
Love the conducting so much 😁
Favorite song is Save Me. Heartbreaking, and utter poetry.
Lovely video Diane! An amazing song! Great movie too! So many great classics by Queen. Love these music video reactions! Maybe some more 80's Hair Bands, like: Poison, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, and lots of others!
Absolutely loved the choir direction!
I know every single word of this song and have sang it (badly) on many occasions 😂 x favourite queen song is somebody to love
Very beautifully done! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Great choice Diane. I saw a Freddy M. interview where he said he was influenced by all the great singers of the 1960's and that he wanted to put on a show when they performed. They definitely entertained and had great "diction" for not being from Ireland. Very impressive "conducting", by the way!
It’s all about the diction Richard! This that these and thooooose!
Great band Diane! This song may be the best known song from pre 2000. This one and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey even 2 year olds in Indochina have heard them too much lol. Somebody to Love is my favorite song my Queen. Happy Wednesday!
Happy Wednesday 🎉
Favorite Queen song, who wants to live forever. Fantastic reactions today.
Brava! Excellant conducting. ❤
Queen is the pinnacle of what it is to be a live performance band. They had the greatest front man of all time, paired with one of the greatest collection of musicians ever. My favorite Queen song is Who Wants To Live Forever. It just doesn't get any better than Queen.
This was of course a hit at the time it was released, but over the years its stature has grown and it is easily one of the most beloved songs of the rock era. The producer, Roy Thomas Baker, was known for using overdubs of both instruments and voice, and the vocal overdubs were particularly prominent on Bohemian Rhapsody, at times stretching the capabilities of the 24-track tape technology of the time. The technique involved recording multiple takes and then layering them on top of each other. This layering created the choir illusion on some parts of the vocals and the otherworldly sound of Brian May's guitar. Naturally all these takes required weeks to accomplish and then mix together. In all, the song required over 180 overdubs. The song was intended as a parody of bombastic opera music, but over the years it has become regarded as art in its own right. Being someone who appreciates guitar, I have to note Brian May's "Red Special" guitar. He and his father designed and built the guitar when Brian was a teenager. Since May could not afford a Gibson or Fender, he made his own guitar, using wood salvaged from a fireplace mantle and an old table. By the way, in addition to being a guitarist, Dr. May is also an astrophysicist.
Wow that’s a lot of info David!!
@@DianeJennings You're a movie snob, I'm a music snob...
Loving this series, Diane! Gotta keep it up!
So, if you're doing 70's music that you've never heard before, then you need to check out Three Dog Night "Road to Shamballah". My favorite song EVAR.
I remember the song Road to Shamballah from when it was featured in an episode of Criminal Minds. I never knew it was from Three Dog Night. Do you know the meaning of the band's name, Three Dog Night? It's of Aboriginal/ Native Alaskan origins. If it was really cold at night you'd have your dogs sleeping with you for warmth...the more dogs you had for warmth, the colder the night was, so a three dog night was pretty chilly. Just some trivia I thought I'd share with you. 😊😊👋 Greetings from eastern North Carolina!
❤ love your reaction ❤
Iconic song, of course and perfectly executed by every band member. My favorite Queen song/Performance is White Queen live at Odeon, Hammersmith 12/24/1975. It is an amazing performance, it gives me chills every time I hear it and I have heard it a lot. Thank you for your reaction.
thanks for another Pleasant trip down memory lane
Head banging during the course!🤟
3:53 Diane plays Bass on the spring on her boom mic! LOVE IT
These are my favorites videos you make listening to music.
I’m so glad!
I think this is the only time I've seen a rection to the "shiver down by spine" bell shaking bit. Gets you today's Gold Star.
I like your spontaneus reaction (movements)
Their best song is "Who Wants to Live Forever", used in "Highlander", one of the best movies. There are two versions on the "Kind of Magic" album. The second one is entirely instrumental. Both hit harder with hindsight, when we know Freddy's eventual fate.
That is a great song
It wasn't just used in Highlander, it was specifically written (by Brian May) for a particular scene in that movie.
Great reaction Diane! Incredibly difficult to pick a favorite Queen song! So my five front-runners are: Death On Two Legs
Flick of the Wrist
The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke
March of the Black Queen
Now I'm Here
You're my best friend is my favourite Queen song. Came at a time that I needed it.
Diane's gestures throughout the song was absolutely perfect!
I still remember where I was & was watching Countdown Sunday night on the ABC Australia when this came out. Music videos changed that day.
This song, written by Mercury, stands out both in composition and arrangement. It's quite an achievement to create a rock song that's only 5 or so minutes long with about ten different sections that hangs together so well.
For future rock tune vids, I'd lean to Irish bands, of which there are many good ones for a country that size. I'll recommend a song from before you were born, The Man Who Built America, by Horslips, which was heavily played by station WXRT radio in Chicago when it came out. Of course there are a few more widely known bands from Ireland. I won't name Them but no doubt many are familiar to U too.
hello Diane always so lovely, Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite queen song
Phenomenal. Remember when it was released.
🎶❤️🎶
This is a great song, and I hope listening to it brought back lots of fun choir memories. Queen has so many great songs. Dr. Brian May is an awesome guitarist. Thanks for making our day better
Dr. Sir Brian May now.
@@tonys1636 very cool
I should watch the movie now!!
One Vision is my favourite Queen song! It is an absolute gem!
Good to see Diane rocking out :)
Thank you so much for taking me back to when the album was released ahead of the single. Rain and the sounds of rocks rolling in a river in flood. And Bohemian Rhapsody being immediately followed by Good Save the Queen (no lyrics).
I have to say this may be best reaction I've ever seen of this song.
As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Happy Weird Wednesday! I really enjoy & love Queens Music.🎼🎵🎶
Favorite Queen song? Gotta go with You're My Best Friend. Not because it's their best musically. Not even close; it's a simple little song. But it's been one of those that I share with my wife, who's absolutely my best friend. So... Fun reaction!
There music never ages, one of my favourite bands
One of the greatest songs of all time! And I think that you now have a new character for your channel: Conductor Diane. Great band with a ton of hits and excellent songs. You should watch the film. It's okay and worth a watch.
I think I will!
Memories of high school…thank you!
Please conduct to more music. That was awesome!
Surely there’s a video out there of YOUR choir’s winning performance of Bohemian Rhapsody? We NEED to see that 😊
Favorite songs by queen. You’re my best friend, and can’t stop me now. Suggestion: three dog night. ‘Never been to Spain’ keep up the good work Diane really enjoying these....😘🎉
Somebody to love is my favorite of their songs. The live aid concert is a great recommendation. Freddie is one of a kind, and he was 100% on during that concert. Not only is his voice one of the best ever, but he was the personification of "Rock Star."
Always loved Queen grew up in the 70s and 80s. “Save Me” is my favorite Queen song.
Thanks, D! Headphones are SO needed... (Freddie did all the harmonies on the intro himself.. but the rest of the band came in later.. the diction WAS perfect, right?)... Appreciate your reaction! (this is just what he looked like when I saw Queen in concert 1978-ish)
I just gotta say... the thumbnail for this one was hilarious, Diane. Good work to ED!
Glad you liked it 😂
Simply teriffic Diane....😀
Enjoyed the directing. The choirs I know here in Texas fit your description of your Irish experience.
I prefer the glitzy style. It’s fun!
I love that you were in choir! I was in choir in the 60s and 70s and they were like yours. Robes and diction. One high school had a swing choir that was more like Glee but we moved and I didn't have a chance to try out. Since you are a choir geek, I think you will love Pentatonix's a cappella version of this song! Brian May of Queen loved it.
Diane’s rocking out my favorite Queen song is somebody to love
7:21 Loved the transition from classical to rock...👍👍
Favorite Queen song is '39. Weirdly beautiful.
Back in the '70s in the San Francisco Bay area we will rock you and We Are the Champions always played back to back on the radio. They will always be one song to me. My favorite.
