This is quite epic. It's not easy to tackle such a classic as Bohemian Rhapsody, but you guys did the song justice. Hats off!
WatchYourAttitude The original is epic. This is just okay. Freddie Mercury's voice made the song a classic.
Name a song,
He'll make it
10000x times better
(The original of the song was still beautiful though.!)
ѕтαяяу Who is 'he'? And by 'original' do you mean Queen?
Jodi J He is Kurt
I don't know who these singers are but no one can top Freddie Mercury's voice. And no one can make Queen's song "better".
Wow...this was AMAZING! I love how you got a bunch of people together and collabbed to make this beautiful music video! I can't express how much I love this.
Yup exactly.
The Jagged Axe omg right. i LOVED it and fangirled som much
Amelia Grace Yep, what she said.
YES!
agreed!
Honestly, this just made me respect Queen more. All of you guys harmonized and sang so well, yet the harmony Queen had was just something else. I'm guessing it's just their skill and the fact that they have tons of experience harmonizing together. Something that just can't be replicated by a bunch of talented singers coming together, no matter how amazingly skilled they are.
IMO, they turned rock opera into harmonized boys band song. Should have started in a lower key, need more strain in their voices.
well in the song bohemian rhapsody it was just freddie who harmonized the intro by stacking his own vocals but if you refer to the rest of the harmonies then yeah sure. Queen is something else when harmonizing together
And just imagine Freddie made this genial thing within few minutes in the dressing room on the knee. In his spare time before comming back to the stage.
Eh, who am I to overly nit pick too much?
Everyone be like "lets wear black t-shirt but dont tell Madilyn"
Is that a "let's all wear formal attire and not tell roger" reference???
Seriously tho that's what it looks like
Well She did wear a black bra tho
my favourite song EVER - this was amazing!
Gabriella ♡ Agreed Gabby! (BTW love your vids x)
Gabriella ♡ i love you so much gabby, you are the most genuine ytber i know
Gabriella ♡ Gabby!!! Can't wait till some miraculous twist of fate when you collaborate with KHS! Your voice would slay!!!!!!!
Hey
Gabriella ♡ thanks so much gabriella! glad you like it :)
Talent OVERLOAD!!!
Idk why everytime i hear this song... I wanna cry... How legend freddy is and also queen...this bohemian is a masterpiece
Freddie*
Wowiee! This version wasn't bad...I loved the multiple voices/sounds for that 'oh oh oh' part. 😅😃
Kurt, can you please do a collab with PENTATONIX??😍
That would be EPIC
Oh my god yes yes yes...
Shua Shin Epic!
This needs more likes!!
Shua Shin YES THEY SHOULD
This is so EPIC! Can't put it into words.. I stopped all my routines when this notification came up LOL. Well done!
Lydia Alissa thanks so much lydia! :)
Kurt Hugo Schneider can you cover a SLAYER song
Kurt Hugo Schneider The link to live like us is wrong, could you fix it ? Awesome video btw :p
reis michayluk mg lol yeah SLAYER
reis michayluk Angel of Death, perfect song for them to cover.
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.
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,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters.
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 wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.
(Galileo) Galileo.
(Galileo) Galileo,
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o-o-o.
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 me go!)
Will not let you go. (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go)
Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
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 outta here.
(Ooooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me.
Any way the wind blows.
Thanks but who needs this
Yeah, all queen fans know the lyrics haha
No need for this. I memorized the whole song. I sing it everyday.
i lop u
Lo pasti orang Indonesia
This was so good! I don’t get why so many people are saying it’s bad?! I mean it will be a little different than the original coz it’s a cover not just a copy paste.
Alex Goot ruined it, idk how he convinced people that he can sing but his style is really bad he sound like to that of a person that knows he can't sing but have a confidence of daddy's money
Take the best CZcamsr-Singers of our time and cover one of the best songs ever written? Google needs to start a hall of fame just for this video alone
one of the? no, the best song, and one of the best youtube singers, not the best
It's amazing how it takes 2-3 singers to do Freddie Mercury's entire vocal range
*cough* brendon urie *cough*
+snowflake5364 yasasasasasasassassas
+snowflake5364 Brendon gives me fucking life
Adam lambert uhm
+Nicholas Le I know right
"Didnt mean to make you cry"
A tear just rolled down my cheek
you guys nailed my favorite song of all time that was soooo epic I'm smiling from ear to ear
Freddie Mercury would be so proud of you guys ... specially the mastermind behind this: Kurt ! ...
TRUE
+PrivatYT yes he is...
+PrivatYT omg.. don't be jealous :)
He is a mastermind and you know .. try looking for information about him and you will know ...
^Salt.
***** he studied maths in Yale and he gradueted with honors :3
He is making more money than any other ''ordinary'' worker, just by making music covers on youtube... :) He creates all of this ... what else? ahm.. try looking for information about Kurt ;)
Im usually super super like critical when anyone covers a Queen song. Because no matter how fantastic any singer is nobody can compare to Freddie. but GOSH YOU FREAKING DID IT. you did it justice. more than justice. you did it greatly.
+RyRy Peach Yes, covering this song made me appreciate his gift even more. I wish he was still around to hear this.
Nope they really didn't. There is no one in the world as talented as Freddie who hit all the fucking notes fucking perfectly who didn't even have autotune . This was probably autotune af. So.....
+Mesu Isfahany Be that as it may, they still did a pretty damn decent job. Obviously no one can top the godly gift that was Freddie. but they still did better than any cover I've heard in the past two decades, at least in my opinion.
+RyRy Peach yeah so im not saying they didn't do good. They did epic
But not better or equal
+Mesu Isfahany true. but I mean no one could ever meet his level
nowadays kids: "who else is gonna watch this 6 minutes video?"
queen fans: "well you wrong kid."
I really like Queen and I think you guys did a wonderful job on this!!
Everybody: let Sam go!
Me: I will not let him go!
Genevieve Vianey haha i know right :)
Omg you actually saw my comment I love you guys
Kurt Hugo Schneider +Great JOB ))
Genevieve Vianey What do you mean by, Let sam go? Hes not going anywhere right? RIGHT??? or were you just making fun of the song?
So true
Two types of comments:
1. This was bad
2. This was great
And then it's yours
Type 3 : "who came from Suicide Squad?"
Type 4 : " stop saying you came from Suicide Squad!"
Type 5: types coment that are relateable
Type 6: Wow such great singers!
Type 7: Ugh! I want that Pianist out!
Type 8:SHUT UP, HE'S AMAZING
Type 9: YOU GUYS CAN'T COUNT: HE SAID "TWO"!!!
/sarcasm
I've never seen a cover of this song that's worth recognition but this one damn
What a magnificent piece of work. You guys deserve standing ovations! Loved this cover with all my heart
0:00 - 6:28 best part.
lol
how funny and original xDDDD!!!
agreed
Actually 6:28 is the worst part
+Tom O'Donnell no 6:29 is
I just keep on thinking of brendon urie covering this I'm not even regretting it.
yassaas
Didn't he already??
Didn't he already??
omg! same!!!
arg yes, I loved his version
AMAZING, I have had so many ideas for a performance like this in my head to this song for years. Thank you for making it happen!
Alex Goot has done pretty well job. He hits high notes really good. Need more from him
Ah, Queen: The masters of rock ballads.
Damon Fyrian true
Damon Fyrian they simply are royalty
I never heard a cover version that was only a bit close to the original by Freddie Mercury. Now I am crying. Thank you.
You should hear Richie Castellano's one.
Isn't the idea of a cover to make something different?
Yeah, that is mostly the idea of a cover, but I think sometimes people just want to be like the original. Freddie is a legend and I think they wanted to sing just like Freddie bc he's a legend.. yeh.. Sorry for my bad english btw
You should hear Marc Martell :)
Um, how was this close? Their toning is good but the depth of their voices need to change
The amount of hard work in this is amazing ❤️
So much nostalgia. Thank you for this very very very amazing cover.
the only difference is queen did this without autotune
Ye made my day 👍
Couldn't agree with you more
LoL
Tea
Buuuuurrrrn
THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN
Simply awesome collaboration and as fine as the original. Beautiful listening.
2017 y sigue siendo el mejor cover de la historia.
beautiful !!
So many talented people in one video!! I enjoyed it very much and I even showed my mom. She was totally jamming out to it haha
Kayla TsuiSchneider haha, glad you like it kayla!! :1
Freddy Mercury is smiling and approves! I just purchased this tune. It is a must have in any collection . This was about the most amazing cover of this song I ever heard. BTW - I have been following Kurt's, Max's and Sam's Career for over a year and I den tally that the level of musicianship and ability is off the charts. I have 2 1/2 Music degrees and taught music for over 21 years and studied voice for over 15. Their music is a must have in your collection. They are creative, have amazing technical abilities and knowledge on how to put music together, arrange and produce. I am always blown away but how they perform and communicate a song. Bravo - Well done boys and girls, well done!
Dano Pierce You forgot to mention Alex Goot. He actually did all the production work on this video.
debbie kinna OMG! You're right. I did forget to mention Alex! Sincerest apologies. Alex -0 you are awesome, I checked out your your tube tunes - firsts rate. Your production of this video was INCREDIBLE! Please accept my apologies!
Dano Pierce Freddie is probably cringing or laughing. Or both.
Totally agree
hey could u check out my vids cuz I need tips on singing
Wow! Just wow! This is by far the best cover I've ever seen. You guys are sooo talented. Keep doin' a lot of these guys. All the best to y'all!
Holy jesus christ, i've never heard a cover so epic and heartfelt in my life *-*
Sam was PERFECTION in here
kannou ghada he is always perfection ♥
betty gza
I know ♥♥
Isn't he Gay tho..?
devaldy nathan who cares if he's gay or not ! it's his life !
+kannou ghada chill!
was wondering why all thoose high vocal range people get so much credits nowadays, while there's some low voice range (like avi kaplan) that have such incredible talents, but will always be behind ...
bigmonstermunch its because the high notes are easier to hear
bigmonstermunch Yassss Aviiiiiiiiiii
bigmonstermunch The great thing about Freddy Mercury was that he could kinda do both.
yeah, that's what i'm critisizing there ... this video show us talented high note singer, but they sing someone they can't achieve perfectly because of their low vocal range .... it's like trying to reproduce the painting Guernica but only the first plan ...
bigmonstermunch Dan smith can do both lmfao GETCHU A MAN WHO CAN DO BOTH
Musically fantastic, lead vocals sound boy bandish. The harmonies were spot on. Very impressive
AMAZING WORKKK !!! LOVE THIS 🖤🙌
you need producing like glee or something
glee ended
Ty Monae ♡ i mean genre
I agree, Glee's version was the best I've ever heard, including the original
Johann Gaga Agree. Glee's version is much better then this shit.
Johann Gaga Glee is an expensively produced on-tv song... with a large budget and the "magic" of fake tv.
This was impressive as it is a low funded youtube project. Don't be an ass. This was extremely good. The two lead guitarists were very good... those riffs by Brian May are not easy.... and to get the "sound" of Queen was very good.
My only quirk was... why the girls.
You have no idea how big my desire to be KHS' bass right now.
I'm crying😂😂😂😂
omg 😂😂
Listen to Avi Kaplan to hear good bass😂😂
How many Galileos do you want?
😂😂😂
How many more Galileos do you want?
1000
Yes
Who is even galileos???????
Wow! Amazing! One of the few best covers of Boh Rap I've heard.
Phenomenal. I grew up during the time these people were building their names on CZcams. They did something special to this generation, really. Amazed as always!
amazingggggggg
the best
Ali!!!
genius, brilliant, beautiful - i am blown away - well done and thank you
This was so amazing!!! Everybody killed it in the best way possible!!!! Keep up the good work!
....I'm crying this is so beautiful omfg and WOW Sam has a really high voice
FUCK THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY IDEK
hi lmao
hi ??
bangtenboyz armyyyyy
Jeon Jungkookie kinda irrelevant but sure
This is definitely one of those covers that not just anyone can pull off, so I love that you guys did it! 💕
One of my favourite collabs ever!
Not to say that they were horrible, they weren't, it's just that the problem with doing such an iconic song as this is that you can never live up to the Freddie Mercury original.
Maria simaitis Exactly! Some songs should NEVER be covered. This is one of them.
Before I even watched this I was going to comment that this song should never be covered. But I gave it a chance. Still nope. It's okay even pretty good at some parts. But it can never and will never even be close to being as amazing as the original.
He wrote this in his description he recognised that but wanted to try let it go
Chidera Iyke I keep seeing the word 'Epic!" This version is far from epic. Why can't the opposing view comment? We're not telling you guys to 'let it go'.
Maria simaitis Cover doesn't mean that, cover means "I like this, I wanna sing it" not "I wanna be better than the original singer" byee
the amount of hardwork and effort put into this is just wow
You guys nailed it! I've listened to a lot of covers of this song and I love how much energy you put into this compared to other covers of Bohemian Rhapsody! :)
@KHS The best HANDSDOWN cover of this immortal classic I have ever heard!
You need to listen to marc martel's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody
i dont like people covering this song because they never seem to do it justice but i love this!
Brendon Urie
+psychokath xx Brendon Urie's cover is good but the Freddie Mercury is the best
+Zykierrea Agee totally 👍
+Zykierrea Agee freddie may be gay but he had a manlier voice. XD i dont like this cover but man do i respect their vocal talent!
Brendon Urie did amazing covering it.
The 2nd Best Cover of this Song!!! The Best Cover is still from Johnathan Groff in the TV Series GLEE... He has this unique voice and the rock'n'roll in his voice - but this video here is good too..
Sven Krause Johnathan definitely did a great job. So far my favorite cover of this song is by him.
Apart from Jonathan's amazing vocals, i think what set that cover apart from this is the fact that it was shot beautifully. And the choreography. This is still pretty great though. :D
No, the best cover of this is from George Michael!
Sven Krause Thanks for pointing me to the Glee version, holy cow that was amazing! This version is nice, but just didn't really hit the right notes
Yaaas the Glee Vocal Adrenaline version is the best!
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?

Whoa
Mia Pacey Gross ... you want man sized babies?
You should visit a doctor right away
Mine did too, omg. Same
Giggity3dze you meant your balls, eh?
All best ! Queen will proud of you all.
One of THE best covers of this song I've heard to date. Way to go people!
When you have this much talent packed into one song and video its just amazing
Who else loves and hates Kurt's hair at the same time
Omg me haha
+TheGeekHQ He has Beatles hair.
+Susan Martin im pretty sure he placed a mop on his head and cut the stick
+TheGeekHQ haha. He's cute no matter what :>
+Cabanerie ME! he looks so strange but adorable, i think haha
"Send shivers down my spine," I felt something in my spine..
This was amazing. I've been looking at a lot of your songs, and you guys are really clever and talented. Keep going!!
5:19 WHY WAS THERE NOT MORE OF THIS GUY?!?
Michael Allen
I agree
but who is that guy btw
Because he was the one playing nearly all of the electric guitar parts?
Michael Allen is the one who does the guitar solo
//XxMissUnicornTDMXx// No, it's not Kurt
This is amazing!! But kurt.... you need a haircut!! lmao
No, he don't.
No, he does not
I cant find a way to express my feelings after this vc. Just ty
gave me goosebumps... wow... this song is really iconic irrespective of any cover... good or bad... this song comes out good any way... its just the awesomeness of the song...
at least this version is better than kanye west version
Lmao
OMG....I can't imagine Kanye West doing this at all.
Lol, check his cover of this song, he actually "tried" covering it.
EDIT: Actually don't, it will give you nightmares
smh I don't even want to know. Kanye just needs to dry up and get blown away by the wind.
+Tie-Fi HD nightmares is putting it lightly
A cover is supposed to be different from the original song. It's astounding how many people don't seem to understand that. What is the point of a cover if it's identical to Freddie Mercury's original song. Just listen to that instead.
Anyways, major respect for vocals, creativity and variety in this version, keep up the great work!
But this one has two females. And personally I don't think you can improve on the original version of this. Just saying.
Spud Crafter (The entire point of my comment was that they ain't trying to be "better than the original", because they obviously can't, and that they're aiming to make it different by adding a variety of people and voices, hence "the two females", who, by the way, were spectacular. Just saying.)
Xing Han oh, definitely. the women really were a great addition to the song. I'm just impressed that they could even cover this. the entire arrangement looks so complicated just by watching the video
Even though this is 2 years old by now: great cover and awesome work by everyone involved. I'm a big Queen fan and I've never heard a cover before that gave me goosebumps.
Awesomest video that I seen it now 😘😘😘All talented people in one video Sam , Kurt , Alex , Madilyn rock it❤❤ KEEP IT UP👏👏👏
Yes to the fantastic singing. Yes to the phenomenal instrumental talent. Yes to the production value. Yes to all of the things.
Por fin un cover decente!
lo mismo digo!
Definitivamente.
Seeeh
Estas en lo cierto
wow... this is just making me smile while listening and watching this vid... great job!
i cant say anything its just si wonderful thank you for making the queen alive again
well... this is one of the most difficult songs to cover in the entire world.
and i hate to say it but....
YALL FUCKIN KILLED IT!!!! HOLY SHIT THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Freddie is definitely looking down on you guys with a proud smile
This version actually gives me goosebumps.
Ohmyyy!! You're the living queeennnn!!!! One of the best 6 minutes of my lifeeeee!!!
sweet pea, i've been a fan of queen longer than i care to admit (age withheld). this is probably THE best cover i've ever heard. y'all did an amazing job!!
Me: "Is that guy playing my bass?!?😂"
You should collab with PTX, Kurt!
OMG Kurt! This could be your next "Just a Dream" song!
It has all the ingredients to break all records.
PERFECT, I cried the 3 times I watched it!
When Sam began to sing I had to cry :D Soo beautiful!!
You're voices are amazing!!💎🖒
Sam's voice takes me to Heaven.
OMG!! This is why i love CZcams covers!
That piano.. Shivers down my spine.
My hair is standing up and my eyes are teary, this was truly amazing and epic
I swear I see Luke Conard at 3:48
that is him :)
Wait where's his link in the description?
I know right! I thought i was the only one😂
Same!!!!😱😍
FUCK LUKE CONARD THAT PIECE OF SHIT
this is it, what we're waiting for the last 2 weeks. Greatest youtube collab ever!!! great job Tyler, Kurt,Sam,Alex,Luke and Madilyn
One of the best covers they have done. 😍😍😍
