    Everyone who wants to hear a piece uninterrupted should go pull up the official version and watch that all by themselves. The whole point of watching a reaction is to see someone REACT. That means pausing, talking over, backtracking, whatever strikes them of their own way of appreciating (or not) a piece of music we ALREADY know and love. You go right ahead and pause and comment as you like.

      @@thanksmr.obvious6427 It is Pentatonix. I adore Queen and always will. But Ptx has talent beyond Queens. A capella is incredibly difficult to do, & they do it seamlessly with no help from machines. They perform this live over & over. Queen never sang all parts of it live without prerecorded parts being played as well.

  • @pjschmid2251
    @pjschmid2251 4 роки тому +110

    Fun fact: Queen never performed all of this song live. In concerts they would start it from the point where the piano comes in and leave the stage at the operatic section and play a video much like the one you saw for that part. They would then return to the stage to do the remainder of the song. This is because they recorded the piece using layering and other studio techniques to create the sound. Pentatonix of course performs it live from beginning to end. When the Pentatonix recording came out Brian May posted a link to the video on his Facebook page with the comment “enjoy“.

    • @ZENOBlAmusic
      @ZENOBlAmusic 4 роки тому +4

      Queen never performed it live because they only had 3 vocalist. Pentatonix does lip sych live at times. Freddie's vision for the song was that it was choirs answering each other. He didn't want to do it live with only 3 vocalist it didn't match his original artistic vision of the song, where it is suppose to be two choirs answering each other. One choir is angelic or angles and the other choir are demons and evil. It is heaven and hell fighting over the soul of this guy. That is why Freddie specifically wanted a choir sound during the mock opera. If the song doesn't have the choir it loses it's meaning, that is how Freddie saw it. Queen always changed their studio versions from their live versions, so this was an important issue for him, otherwise he would just have changed the live version. They disliked repeating studio performances. Studio techniques? They used overdubs to create 2 choirs, the beginning is only Freddie who over dubbed himself. You realize these were not really studio techniques around. It was much easier for Pentatonix to record this song, with today's unlimited tracks and protools. They only 24 tracks for 180 vocal overdubs. And then the drums and guitars were overdubbed as well. It took incredible precision to record this song with only 24 tracks. The instruments basically had to be played live all at once so that it didn't take up too much place. There is actually a small drum mistake in one section because it was played live.
      The quality also degrade every time the track was bounced, to one track. The song was a masterful feat of execution at the time. The whole album was.

    Freddie Mercury is justifiably a rock legend, and I don't think anyone will ever top Queen's original of Bohemian Rhapsody, but I can almost guarantee that this is going to be the best cover of it you will hear. And to do it acapella makes it doubly impressive. More people are are prepared for the Spanish Inquisition than for Guitar Grassi!

    • @ZENOBlAmusic
      @ZENOBlAmusic 4 роки тому +3

      Queen themselves often mimicked other instruments with their voices, such as guitars, trombone, trumpets, viola, clarinet, tubas and even kazoo. In the middle section of this song Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor creates a jazz band with their vocals: ua-cam.com/video/36nqGs_Dvws/v-deo.html (this is also a song acapella groups like to perfrom).
      Of course Pentatonix did a good job it is one of the better covers of the song. The best cover in my opinion is from Bruce Dickinson and Montserrat Caballe, the song is turned into a more metal version.

    Great reaction! Loved your enthusiasm for both versions. PTX said it took them 5 years from when they first got the idea to do BR until they actually did it. It is incredible that PTX could do a rock anthem and sound as head banging as the original. If you get a chance, the 2018 movie Bohemian Rhapsody, about Queen and Freddie Mercury is really good, and it goes deep into how difficult it was to sell this 5 minute rock opera to the music industry. Another couple fun PTX videos are Love Again (an original), Evolution of Michael Jackson and Radioactive. And you might also check out their second Grammy winner, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.

    There are some things for which one can never be "prepared," and many of them are perpetrated by Pentatonix. Their rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is one such.
    Pentatonix loves Queen, and they always wanted to do a cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody," but they were afraid that they couldn't do it justice, so they decided to wait until they thought they were ready. That took *five years.* After that they still had to write their arrangement, choreograph, figure out how to motorize a couch, rehearse, and whatever else is involved in preparing to release a music video - judging by the dates that took them several more months, at least.
    It was worth the wait.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    In the early days, after Pentatonix won _The Sing-Off_ and the recording contract that was supposed to be their prize, only to be dropped like a hot potato by the record label, a lot of the videos they filmed with their iPhones and posted to UA-cam simply showed five young people sitting on a couch, singing their hearts out. So the couch in this video is taking them on a trip down Memory Lane.
    The megaphone had nothing to do with Mitch's guitar solos; it was just a prop that Mitch thought would look cool and it's been confusing people ever since. The guitar solos are all Mitch, plus a microphone. (Yes, I did notice that you weren't taken in by the megaphone, but many people are, so it should always be pointed out.)
    * The starry night sky is a tribute to Brian May (of Queen), who has a doctorate in astrophysics.
    * The four shooting stars are for the four members of Queen.
    * The shot of Pentatonix lying together on the couch is meant to reference the cover art for Queen's _Sheer Heart Attack_ album.
    And when this was released, Dr. Brian May posted a link to it on all his social media accounts with a single word: "Enjoy."

    Thank you for another fabulous reaction - your reactions reflect how most of us felt when we first discovered PTX - we used to say ' well how are they going to top that?'... and then they release the next track and we say ' oh...that's how'.... just so talented - thank your dad for us for introducing you to the group. Your PTX tracklist is keeping us all interested and amused !! Great job Uncle Jon 😊

      I’m a big fan of “Radioactive” - not only is it one of the few PTX tracks that features one or more instruments but it also features Lindsay Stirling, a true maestro (maestra?) of the violin. Other tracks that “just” have Kevin on cello include “Say Something” and “Shallow”.

I Really appreciate your ability to talk without cursing, a very refreshing new concept from what I’ve heard from other reactors.

Live at Singapore and Daft Punk,, but I recommend diving deeper into their catalog (though Imagine makes me cry everytime). Try the newly released "When the Party's over,"
    "Can't Help Falling In Love,"or "Radioactive."

    Glad that you're enjoying your stay in the Pentatonix world! Strap right in because there's so much more to discover in the acapella world. There are numerous other Pentatonix songs for you to visit.
    *But you have GOT to visit the world of Home Free as well.*
    Home Free is a country acapella group and shares many of its fans with Pentatonix. Their country take on acapella is so polished and refined that they are arguably the best acapella group besides Pentatonix.
    I recommend Man of Constant Sorrow for a mind-blowing introduction. Alternatively, you can listen to Ring of Fire, which featured Avi from Pentatonix, and became their biggest hit.

Also bud, we know, it's no secret, we get it. You gotta stop the video every so often or the copyright police swoop in and shut your video down. Besides, we are here for your reaction, if we want to hear the full song uninterrupted, we can watch the original, and you kindly provide the link. So please don't apologize, stop at a good moment, make your comments, take a breather, maybe back up a few seconds when you start the music back up, especially if you stopped at the beginning of some amazing moment. If others complain, they can go see the original.
