It's their homage to Queen... took them 5 years before they felt they had it right...
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. Also when Brian Mays heard it... he posted it on his web site with the word "ENJOY”. -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 CZcams, 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.
We Pentaholics are a passionate group-we mean no harm, just be careful of ANY negative reactions! Sound of Silence, soon, please. Also, have you heard Mammoth WVH "I'm Alright" shreds just like his daddy did!
Thanks fora wonderful reaction. You will definitely enjoy the rabbit hole. It's a huge one- over 250 songs. There ARE LOTS OF LIVE PEFORMANCES. . sOME OF THE BEST ARE pOPSPRING ,2016. AND mILES rEUBEN'S DOWNLOADS OF THEIR 2023 TOURS. THYE SOUND EVEN BETTER LIVE AND ARE JUST AS NICE PEOPLE AS THEY ARE SINGERS.
Kevin - the beat boxer - is AWESOME! One of the best in my opinion. He also has a GORGEOUS singing voice! But, unfortunately, because the beat is so essential to most songs, we don't get to hear him sing very often. So when he DOES get to sing, it is a special treat!!!
New subbie here! Loved your reaction to Kiss From a Rose, and loved this one too! Subbing in hopes of more PTX reactions! :)
Keep up the great work! 😊
Love seeing Kevin get the respect he deserves!! Poor guy always getting doubted!
So much vocal talent in these 5, just crazy.
Pentatonix is the best, a delight to listen to from beginning to end.
The bass line is being done by Avi Kaplan, the gentleman with the dark beard, not the beatboxer. Together the bass and the beatboxer are considered to be the rhythm section for the group. Kevin, the beatboxer, has a beautiful tenor voice when he sings.
Enjoying the Match slaps. More PTX please.
I just love watching a reactor first discovering Pentatonix. Your face tells the whole story. I subbed for more PTX reactions. You will NOT be disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you!
You make a Pentaholic's heart warm, TX. Greetings from South Africa
You are a lucky guy to have discovered these wonders.
Pentatonix
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on CZcams, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his CZcams videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on CZcams), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on CZcams, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch czcams.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/video.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. A good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
They have Grammy wins for Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene featuring Dolly Parton. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Another nomination for Holidays Around the World album in the 2024 list!
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star!
They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
Kevin is an amazing Beatboxer & he also sings like an Angel. They are all so very gifted!
watch "The Wizard of Ahhhhhhs" with Toddrick Hall next- It's my favorite- and an incredible mash-up of songs while telling the story. :)
Great reaction. You're going to love this rabbit hole, indeed, and we are here for it!
If you have any questions watch Bohemian Rhapsody live 2022 Hollywood Bowl.
Great reaction: Their catalog is over 200 songs deep. Covers and originals. They do so many genres. They are mad talented for sure. Admit it, you were smiling and talking to your viewers but inside you were thinking “Queen? Really Bohemian Rhapsody?” In the middle of the song you made a huge real smile.😄 And I knew you were truly enjoying it.
Mega phone is just a prop. 🤣 I love to watch reactors when they first realize that Mitch is doing the guitar. You DID NOT disappoint. That is called a Mitch-Slap. You will get many. I’ve been a Pentaholic since day one and sometimes even I forget that it’s a cappella. I actually consider that a compliment to them. I can see this is going to be a very fun trip with you down the rabbit hole. The others will definitely fill you in on, well, EVERYTHING. I have just a couple of suggestions for now. They only have about a billion videos to watch 🙄 but for Christmas…MARY DID YOU KNOW?…HALLELUJAH & one of my favorites…CAROL OF THE BELLS official video. Also known as WHERE THE HELL DOES MITCH BREATH? 🤭 see you on the next one. 🤗💋🥰 oh and Greetings from Southern California. 🤚🏼
Check out their 90s Dance Medley! They’re on point in everything they do.
Just a side note, you may notice one member change in the videos. The guy with the dark beard in this song left in 2017 and Matt (he was in Kiss From A Rose video) took over as bass.
The pure joy on your face as you watch and listen is a privilege to see❤
Great reaction! Welcome to PTX! Can't wait to go down the rabbit hole with you! New Rules and Daft Punk really show Kevin's beat boxing skills!
Aren’t they absolutely unbelievably talented?!
well, they have a daft punk medley if you like beatboxing. they. are. amazing.
New subscriber!! Looking forward to watching you fall further into this rabbit hole. I just saw them live for the first time last week and they were awesome! Love them all but Kevin(beatboxer) just left me in awe at the end of the show.
Loved your reaction! Yes, you will enjoy this ride! They are incredible ❤
You will not be disappointed 😁
At the end when they fall on the couch in a "cuddle pile", that is paying homage to the Sheer Heart Attack album cover. The face most people make the first time they hear Mitch's voice is called a Mitch Slap. (Kind of like a bitch slap)

Bohemian Rhapsody behind the scenes czcams.com/video/Q8ugJnIG_Lk/video.html
I just noticed that you had done Macklemore's Thrift Shop, PTX did it also, czcams.com/video/Y0qJdShOL_s/video.html, they even done it in an airport one day when things were going bad. They asked if they could use the microphone, the attendant said she could get fired, but she was a fan, and if she just happened to go to the bathroom, and they grabbed it, then she couldn't get in trouble.
I really enjoyed your reaction. I appreciate your authenticity. Have watched many and yours is one of my favorites. I can see it in your eyes. Thank you and dive deeper. They will blow you away.
Thank you so much 🔥🤗

Kevin is not only a beatboxer. He plays Cello, sings in tenor, creates beautiful musical pieces, and many more talents that I cannot think of at the moment.
Love you are becoming a Penta Holic. Also I like the reaction of the way you look in the camara like "no f ing way" haha.
Love your reaction!! Subbed for more PTX!!!
You do you. If u take every criticism to heart, you will not please everyone (trust me). I have subbed because i can tell how impressed you are by this groups talent, who in my opinion, dont get the recognition they've earned.
Didnt notice if anyone responded to your statement about the Beatboxer hitting the low notes... by its not the Beatboxer its the Bass Avi doing those booming low notes.

Great reaction! Subscribed!
To really understand Kevin‘s talent you need to check out that Kevin‘s fifth live show

Glad you enjoyed
Check out Angelina Jordan performing this song on AGT CHAMPIONS at 13. Her voice will forever leave you changed!
Kevin also graduated Yale...med school
Jahherbz, good afternoon, do you know a great young Brazilian vocalist, Gabriel Henrique, who even makes insane whistles? If you can, react to the music video he released this weekend, singing Something Beatiful (Jacob Banks). Tks!
Gabriel Henrique also has an incredible cover - Earth Song (Michael Jackson)
Check HammerFall - Brotherhood or Hammer of Dawn
If you want to hear some insane beatboxing from Kevin, take a listen to "Can't Hold Us" (Macklamore/ Ryan Lewis cover) It blows my mind every time I watch it!!! Oh, and the rapping is awesome, too!! :)
Check out Daft Punk
Welcome. the best PTX song is the last one you heard.
Ignore them...
Just a prop... Mitch does it all by himself!
