There is a video out there that plays the original and Pentatonix’s version side by side and overlapping and it’s shocking how close it is. Also Pentatonix is getting star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2023!!!
I heard about their star yesterday, it’s great!
So exciting and well deserved.
Oh I haven’t heard of that (the side by side comparison). Thanks for bringing it up! Will have to check it out.
@@G-grandma_Army Definitely going to check out that version!! Thx!
That video is so cool
Mitch is phenomenal
Kevin has a beautiful tenor voice, and sings on several songs (usually ones he thinks are important, like Imagine, Mary Did You Know, and the glorious Amazing Grace - faith is very important to him).
He's also an amazing cellist, and plays on some of their songs (Shallows is so beautiful).
Great reaction, I love that you have become a Pentaholic! They are so good and you are just beginning your journey into their songs. Queen’s Brian May even commented how much he liked it. Thanks, this was fun.
Your face at the first 5 words speaks volumes! They're perfect, your reaction is perfect! And you pronounced it correct the first time.
They really paid homage to the original, and yet made it entirely their own! Keep going with PTX for even more amazement. Enjoying your reactions!
Without making, it entirely your own, you can't honor the original. You really have to understand the song, it's meaning, it's architecture, the person(s) that are singing/playing the song. It's not just learning the lyrics and the notes, it takes much, much more. It took PTX over 4 years to make this cover and another year to bring it to perfection. What I adore so much in the work of PTX is their respect they show in every song.
Each of the stars that shoot off above their head represents a member of Queen Queen. It was their way to honor Queen.
Queen should be proud, excellent and Freddie is looking down and smiling!
It’s amazing how similar they are!!!! WOW ❤😂❤❤
I wouldn't want them to sound exactly like Queen. They put their own twist on. And it was beautiful.
When Brian May heard this cover, he was amazed that they had reproduced his guitar solo, complete with the wah-wah. And Mitch Grassi is the only person I could imagine to carry the vocals of the legendary Freddie Mercury.
I also love their covers of "Radioactive", featuring Lindsey Sterling (violinist), and Kevin "Cello boxing" - a term he coined himself.
Love "Come Along", and "Havana". Their cover of "My favorite things" is so unique. When Julie Andrews sang it in "Sound of Music", it was a sweet rendition. PTX placed darker tones to their cover. Someone rightfully referred to it as " A group of vampires sitting around the table, inviting you for dinner".
As for originals, Kirstie wrote and sang main lead on "Love me when I don't ". Scott and Marc wrote "Thank You", and Scott takes lead playing the piano. Enjoy their many, many talents !!
I totally agree. I’ve always thought of their version of My Favorite Things as Julie Andrews colliding with the Mad Hatter Tea Party.
@@df5199 Haha- another appropriate analogy. Someone else said they thought of it as Pentatonix on set and dressed steampunk.
@@df5199 and with a touch of Dark Shadows thrown in too!
He's smiling from above
The Grassi Guitar does not require a megaphone. It is just a prop to draw attention to who is making the sound. I heard it done live and it was EPIC.
Might be the only cover that they did that was not an upgrade. This is an iconic song and the best cover in my opinion.
Great reaction.
For your information, the megaphone was only a prop, Mitch do that sound live without one (several videos are on CZcams).
Greetings from Germany
I enjoyed your reaction--thanks! This was a hard video for them to make as they were trying to balance on a moving couch that tipped over easily on a very cold night while they nailed all their parts perfectly. There is a behind the scenes video of them making this video. Kevin the beatboxer does have a beautiful voice when he sings; Please check out his solo channel Kevin Olusola (KO) starting with his covers of "Down" and "Sign Of The Times". Kevin's talent is immense as he is a world class cello and saxophone player that can produce his own music as well as the beatboxing and singing.
Pentatonix worked on this video for 5 years! I think you'd like their Havanna.
The shot of the starry sky near the end is a nod to Queen guitarist Brian May, who went on after Queen to earn a PhD in astrophysics. PTX is an amazing rabbit hole to become lost in. Welcome! And I have already subscribed--I really enjoyed your reaction!
Greg..your reactions are awesome. You're a sweetheart, keep up the great work...xxoo
Think you would love the video of Kevin Olusola (beat boxer for PTX) doing his KOver of Down by Marian Hill
Good reaction!! Mitch using the megaphone is only a prop. He doesn't use it live in concert. Looking forward to more pentatonix reactions.
And all that instrument sound...are their voices....no instruments....They're SO great!
Thanks for another great reaction. It's fun watching people react for the first time to music I love.
Concerning the title -- your pronunciation of "bohemian" was correct. Think of "rhapsody" as three separate words -- rap so dee. Most people don't realize it, but the title actually means something and fits the song perfectly. Bohemian refers to a sub-group of people who haven't fully adopted the norms of the larger society. Examples would be gypsies, hippies, and beat-nicks (from the 50's and early 60s). They often are associated with the arts, like song, dance, and painting. Rhapsody has several meanings, but in this context it is a term from classical music. It is a piece that consists of vastly different parts yet that somehow fit together.
check out their "Cheerleader"
How does that old saying go? “Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.” ?
Seriously, it’s totally amazing what they (Pentatonix) can do with their voices.
The saying is actually "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." And Brian May was apparently flattered, because he posted a link to this video from his social media, saying "Enjoy."
Thanks for doing it. I knew you would enjoy it.
Talent…in a word….it’s just so good.❤️🎼🎶❤️
I love your reactions.... I love their voices always gives me goosebumps
The shootings stars are an homage to Dr. Brian May, who is an astrophysicist, and also, the 4 stars are for the members of Queen.
They took five years to perfect this, they meant it as a homage to Queen. Also when the stars shoot through the sky it’s symbolizes the four Queen members and the starry sky is homage to Brian May the lead guitar who is an astrophysicist!! So well thought out!
Dude.. check out beatboxer Kevin Olusola…yes he can sing.. His version of Down is phenomenal!.. He’s also a master cellist
Hi Greg! Pentatonix is by far my favorite group, so you won me as a subscriber ever since you started doing reaction videos to Pentatonix songs. In my opinion, Kevin is one of the most talented members of the group he plays the cello, sings, beat boxes, speaks fluent, Mandarin Chinese, and probably a whole lot more that I know nothing about. I love it that you love them, Greg. keep on listening! Another a cappella group I would like you to check out is Voctave.
Kevin is another lyric baritone (like Scott). We don't hear him sing often because he's generally too busy taking care of percussion, but when he does sing his voice is beautiful, exactly as you would expect from a member of Pentatonix.
A "lyric baritone" has a voice that extends above baritone into the tenor range and below it into the bass range, which is why another person posted that he's a tenor.
Right the first time
Over the yrs many people have covered this. None better than this version.
Alvi is the bass singer he is awesome !!!
Thank you for reacting to this amazing Pentatonix video. Glad that you enjoyed it. Did you notice that Mitch was making the guitar sounds in the song? You did not mention it nor react to it so I wondered if you noticed.
on e of those things that make me amazed is that Queen did 48 track overlayering to create the original. But PTX did this all with just 5 voices and NO layering. which is just beyond amazing. It is proof these 5 are not just human but something beyond.
I love the response. I have followed PTX since they arrived on the scene. This is one of my favorites...
That bass at the end wasn’t Kevin the beat boxer. It was Avi sitting next to him.👍
So many groups and individuals have covered this song over the last 45+ years that it is insane and each tries to put a bit of a spin on it because well, NOBODY can be Freddie Mercury, he was a one-off so nobody with any respect for music or vocalists would even try. This group does a great job, they really do have so much talent and because of the intense instrumentation of this song, it is perfect for them. Thank you for your reaction.
They got the vibe. Great tribute.
😳 never saw this before! OMG! Amazing!
Voices.....Queen........Scooooooooooooooorrrrrrrre.
I always tell people to watch/listen to the Queen original first, and then this one... it's amazing how closely they track to the sound and feel of the original, from the way the opening is almost identical (down to the left/right panning on the "Little high, little low"), to mimicking the piano transitions, to the drum riffs. The harmonies are amazing, and Mitch's "guitar solo" (and a second smaller one near the end) are outstanding.
Nobody is ever going to top Queen on their masterpiece, but for my money, this is the best cover you're going to hear.
Perfect and Shallow
True Talent 👌👌
Check out Kevin's KOver of "Down". He has quite a bit of amazing solo material that will drop your jaw. He does it all in this one: Beatboxing, cello, singing, producing on the fly with the loop pedal...so good.
I don't think there is ANYBODY who doesn't like it!!! These guys are the cream on top!!!
I repeat; 5 freaking people. Amazing.
You were SO impressed with Queen. This is unique because it was ALL done vocally. Avi Kaplan is the bass. He has also sung with Home Free. He has gone solo and finished touring Europe and the US. Keep going!
They never fail. Check out their amazing mix of. “ New Rules x Are you That Somebody”. It’s great. Another insane one is their cover of Kiera’s Gold. It’s live and totally great
Both excellent suggestions!!!
I just subscribed to your channel, I see you are becoming a Pentaholic like the rest of us! They are just so amazingly wonderful. It's so nice to watch others discover them. Almost feels like I am just discovering them as well!
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Also highly recommend: Sound of Silence, Daft Punk medley (Grammy for that one), Mary Did you Know, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Amazing Grace.
Kevin did and awesome job on the beat boxing.
Mitch was right on with Freddie Mercury.
This is why they are getting a STAR ON THE THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME.
CONGRATS PTX.
🎵❤🎶
Incredible talent all of them. Try Sound Of Silence.
You will love this!
They are all good ones by this group.
Rhapsody is pronounced wrap (like you wrap a present) sodee (like soda except you say ee at the end instead of the a sound). The emphasis is on the WRAP part. All you music nerds, please correct me if I'm wrong, but a rhapsody is a piece of music that if "free flowing" and can have different elements in it. Another really great rhapsody is George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue (warning--it's instrumental and waxes on the "classical" music slant of things and that isn't everyone's cup of tea--but I love classical stuff--bring on the Mozart, please!).
You gotta check out their Daft Punk medley!
Great reaction! Looking forward to seeing more PTX reactions!
Loved it
They all can sing
If you watch Queen's version and then PTX's it seems PTX is more of a tribute to Queen than a cover to me.
Welcome to the Pentatonix is rabbit hole. Subscribed to watch your journey! Some songs to consider.. Gold, Song of Silence, Can't Hold Us, or Havana. Honestly, any song will rock your world though. Looking forward to seeing more!
You got it, bro!
You were really getting into the beat. Great reaction.
they all can sing
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
KUDOS to PTX.
This was also MY first time listening to this version of a classic hit.
I am a huge Queen fan.
I remember when this song was released.
PTX knows they are not Queen, and they don't try to be.
Their cover was an outstanding tribute to an iconic band, done beautifully in their own style 🎶👍🎵✌️
Also listen to Disturb's. Sound of Silence.. it is Awesome.
Awesome reaction. I subscribed all ready, but this cements you into my "regular cycle" of reactors that I immediately check out. Great job. Charming. Fun. I'm definitely a fan.
Sweet....
Hello Greg. So glad you are doing more Pentatonix. Loved your reaction and your appreciation of PTX - you were captivated. PTX are extremely creative, videos are intentional, singing is superb, vocalizations are beautiful, beat-boxing is supreme.. PTX always tries to honour and pay homage to the original and then they make it their own. Kevin the beat boxer has a beautiful singing voice, he also plays cello and other instruments. I just commented on your PTX Hallelujah reaction I hope you get a chance to read that.
Great reaction! Check out Sound of Silence(Great view of the new bass Matt that took over for Avi in 2017) and Can't Hold Us(Just because it is too much fun!)
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm diggin' your reactions, even though I just now found your channel. It must of been Pentatonix that brought it to my attention. But your dope too, man. This group won an GRAMMY for their DAFT PUNK rip... It's so flipping mind blowing.
Greg, Pentatonix did a song called ( The Prayer) YOU need to check it out. Enjoy
Not like Pentatonix? LOL Stop it! They're amazing and somehow have managed to make this old straight White lady have a massive and totally inappropriate crush on Mitch hahaha Yeah, they're good.
I'm 53 and I just want to hug him tight and listen to him sing.
@@Kaytrinelise I know, right?!
Brian may himself recommended this song and I tell you I'd ove to see memberscof queen react to this video.
Please react to them singing AMAZING GRACE. THANK YOU
I’m gonna keep recommending Avi’s solo stuff til you get there 😛
Avi's solo music is SO different from PTX, I'm so happy for him that he's living his dream. The man speaks to my soul. Most people start with "Change On the Rise," "Chains," or "Get Down," and his new album is brilliant too. "I'm Only Getting Started," "I Can't Lie," and "When I'm A Fool" are my faves off the new album.
Check out their version of “Amazing Grace”
Entertaining reaction as usual. Earlier on I said I would hold off suggestions but it seems like all of those videos are pre-Matt. Let's try some with Matt. Here are some starters.. Amazing Grace... Sound of Silence...Can you feel the love tonight...Mad World... Mr. Grinch or 90's dance medley. Thanks again and stay safe.
Amazing artists. Amazing voices. That being said, and it may just be the audio quality of this recording, Freddie Mercury had a bit more "power" in the higher notes. He was truly a one of a kind vocalist.
PTX does an amazing job with this song.❤️
Hi Greg...
Nice reaction...I was able to see them at the start of their careers competing on The Sing Off...there are hundreds of songs..both covers and originals..done by them...a few of my favorites...
Mary Did You Know
Little Drummer Boy
Radioactive
Sound of Silence..with the new bass ...
Thank you for this review...🌿🌿🌿
If you like this song you should try “Greenday concert crowd” singing this at Greenday’s Hyde park, London concert. 60,000+ strong crowd.
There's no way that Pentatonix can sound like Queen, which is why they've created their own version of that iconic song. Besides having no instruments, which makes it almost (almost!) impossible for them to recreate the music of Brian May, one of the top rock guitarists of all time, Queen also had no bass singer. So all of Avi's bass line didn't exist in the original. Still, PTX kept the pathos and excitement of this ground-breaking and legendary song. Gotta love their fearlessness in tackling it, and creativity in pulling it together.
If you would like another cover of this song, look up Halocene’s cover. Performed with 3 other CZcams cover artists. Such a great cover.
Couple of things you missed, and I didn't see anyone touch on. First when you saw the shooting stars, that was in respect of the original members of Queen. Second, the Mitch and his megaphone, was the major guitar solo. This actually applies to the original Queen version, according to the Queen movie I watched a few years ago, This song was Freddie's coming out song. When it talks about "just killed a man, put my gun to his head, pulled my trigger and now he's dead" that was the Bisexual Freddie killing off the closeted Freddie, I can't remember the rest, but as you go through the song, keep that in mind, and some of the randomness starts to make sense. I enjoy watching you because your so real. You actually said both words correctly, then you doubted yourself. another comment explains very well how to say it correctly, but it looks harder than it is. see you in the next video.
If you want a massive shot of nostalgia you should watch PTX 90s medley
I absolutely love that one and am incapable of only listening through once
So much harder with no instruments
I really want you to react to their "Can you feel the love tonight" video
Recommend their live four song set from Popspring 2016. Three originals plus the Evolution Of Michael Jackson. Scott kills the first original. Mitch is amazing in the second one. Kirstie owns the third. High quality video.
Kevin has a great voice
.. listen to imagine and mary did you know
Oooooh you should definitely check out some of Kevin’s solo stuff (the beat boxer) highly recommend his cover of stay with me by Sam smith
Please react to Mary did you know and Havana by them.
🤩🤩🤓🤓
Can Queen do their guitar solo with their mouth? Lol
