#pentatonix #BohemianRhapsody #reaction - ZĂĄbava
The look on your faces when you hear Mitch playing the guitar solo through the Megaphone was PRICELESS!! From what I have read about this song, it took them years to get it right. Plus, Brian May gave them a thumbs up on social media after hearing the song. Great reaction as per usual gents!! Cheers!
Five or six years, but yeah years!
As an American, I can testify that there is only one Queen.
This isn't a replacement... it's a very great homage. A PERFECT homage. Nobody could have done a better homage than this group.
If you start with PTX, then there's no need to go any further. PTX does the best cover of this song ever done, hands down.
Mitch's megaphone is just a prop. You might be interested to know, there are many "symbolisms" in this video track. The left-right ear panning is an homage to Queen's original recording. The moving couch recalls PTX's early start when they were just sitting on a couch to produce their music videos. The night sky and the stars toward the end is a recognition of Brian May's degree in astrophysics. It might be interesting to note too that Queen has never performed this song live in its ENTIRETY. When they reach the Scaramouch section, the band goes off the stage and projects the iconic video recording of four faces that we all know. Apparently, during studio recording, voices were overlaid many times to create the full sound which sadly Queen could not reproduce during live performances. PTX performs this live in full in concerts. I've seen it once in 2020 with Matt as bass. Amazing as always. Btw, there is also a behind-the-scene video for this MV. Interesting to watch
Those voices in the beginning of the song we're all Freddie Mercury.
@@ninij9692 yes of course, that's correct. And he was there all through out. Queen, though, couldn't perform the entire song live because of the layering they did in studio recording. I've not seen them perform live simply because of my location but I've checked out several concerts in YT it was what I saw. I also did some googling to check it out
@Beth Vargas I'm glad you gave all this info. One more thing the final shot was a tribute the album cover. Are you on discord?
I wanted to note the album cover as well......PTX put so much thought into this! It is amazing!
@@Anna-xx1lv oh yes forgot about that. Their MVs are thought of with such intelligence and sentiments
Brian May, the Queen guitarist, gave this video a major shoutout on his social media.
đđANYONE with a great vocal can do this with the right backing instruments. BUT WHO ELSE CAN DO THIS IN FULL WITH THEIR OWN VOCALS??? PENTATONIX is the GREATEST!!!
I find your reactions informative and entertaining. If you want to hear PTX without studio enhancement , I recommend 1. " Pentatonix in an airport" 2. LMFAO flashmob Todrick Hall Pentatonix , and
3.We are never ever getting back together Pentatonix (Taylor Swift cover).
2 are done in airport lobbies, one in public facility. Each one is over 2 minutes. Quite fun!
@@Burrowingowl315 Great suggestions. I have seen the two airport videos many times. They did "Thrift Shop" over the airport PA system for the enjoyment of everyone in the place, and people were standing around watching and listening to them with their mouths open in amazement.
Scott says this is their hardest arrangement for him to do live. Specifically the "let him go" because he does both parts.
I am always amazed by the ability of him to switch back and forth. He is fantastic and very versatile in all the songs. I love PTX!!!
The megaphone is just a prop! It's pure Mitch!!đ
There is such a palpable sense of respect in this cover for the original material, that I feel a lot of people who have covered it have just not had. Also if you think Mitch does a great impression of an electric guitar, wait til you find the behind the scenes PTX and Superfruit videos where he perfectly replicates, I kid you not, a sharpie marker on cardstock immediately after Scott makes the noise with actual marker on cardstock. He grew up doing some sound imitations.
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.
The megaphone was actually just a prop, it was completely Mitchâs voice. This is so good that Brian May, guitarist from Queen, shared this on his Facebook page, talk about a complement! Thanks guys, I am so glad you finally đ got around to it, Janet.
@Janet Lawson
We know we kept you all waiting but we had some many request for Bohemian Rhapsody, this seems like a fun way to get to them all.
Thanks for watching and also for the fun facts..
@@BritPopsReact I just hit notifications so I will not miss all the scoring on this song.
The BULLHORN was just a prop. Mitch sings that live & BEAU-tifully!
"9 out of 10????" What??? This musically challenging, PENTATONIX arrangement was absolutely brilliant, in my opinion (as a professionally trained, classical musician)! The vocal arrangement is unparalleled in its complexity and a perfectly successful vocal execution. These are well-trained voices performing both vocal harmonies AND instrumentals (at the same time) with absolute precision (at least as far as the human voice is capable of producing). I am a 'great' QUEEN fan and always have been. No one group could ever replace them; however, PENTATONIX honors them with their own amazing BR version containing 'true adherence' to QUEEN that is subsequently blended with their own brand of 'musical magic.' I am in awe of this version and give its performance a very deserving "10 out of 10!" BRAVO, PENTATONIX!
Nothing better than Pentatonix.
Definitely my favorite version. Just mindblowing. It really doesn't get better than this version tbh
7:13 Mitch slapped!
Love your faces here as you try to process what's happening! Pentatonix is so talented and do a great show live!
@Amanda s.
We were indeed Mitch slapped!!
Thanks for watching.
You might notice that in the early section, Kevin sings that melodic accompaniment (originally played on piano) because he has a very credible tenor voice.
I loved the look of shock on your faces as the song continued to build. I hadn't seen it an awhile and it's still incredible!! That they did this so early in their career and with no budget to speak of - just speaks to their talent. Amazingly ambitious to even tackle this huge song, and then to deliver such a complex arrangement. Bravo PTX!!!
Brian May was so impressed with this version, that he put a link on Queens website and said âEnjoy!â
Hi, Guys, glad to see you enjoyed this, always a little chancy to cover such an iconic work done by an equally iconic band. They actually spent a few years working on this arrangement to be sure that they would do justice to the original work. The air guitar solo over the star field was meant as a tribute to lead guitar and astrophysicist Brian May, I thought that was a very nice touch. In case you hadn't heard, PTX has concerts scheduled in London and Manchester this year, picking up the European legs to their COVID-interuppted 202 world tour. Worth it if you get the chance - I'm going to see their Christmas concert in Minneapolis this year and can hardly wait. Have a great day!
Brian May is actually Dr. Brian May. He is an astrophysicist. His PhD thesis a survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud" was published in 2007 and is a popular astronomy book of the same name. He started his research in 1970 and then stopped to run around the world in this rock band named Queen. Maybe you've heard of them maybe you haven't I had to Google them. That's sarcasm. The megaphone in a prop. Mitch does not use it in live shows. Plus the voice you hear when they're looking at the stars is the same voice homage to Brian May. Brian May was so impressed with the video that he posted it on all of his social media sites . There are 4 shooting stars and I always wondered about that because there are 5 members in PTX. I read in a comment that it's an homage to Queen because there are 4 members in Queen. At least that's how I interpret the shooting stars. The moving couch pays homage to how they started. After Sony drop them they did their own videos and uploaded them to CZcams. They would just be sitting on a couch with a camera aimed at them. I think they did them all in one take because they didn't have money for post-production or editing.

This is a link to a live version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it was filmed off of somebody's phone.

Itâs FANTASTIC!!! JUST THEIR VOCALS! Electric guitar......are you kidding me!
TEN out of TEN!!!!!
There are two Bohemian Rhapsody performances that deserve 10s in the universe: Queen will never be topped and PTXâs acapella version will never be topped
@AJ Schnetz
Challenge accepted, if we can't find any better, you win!!
Let's see what we can find out there..
Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact Iâll go on the journey with you and give others a chance but as someone else commented: any amazing vocalists can sing BR but the underlying magic that Avi & Kevin create WITH NO INSTRUMENTS = mind blowing đ€Żđ€Żđ€Ż
Amen to that!!!!
One thing I suggest, (and fair warning I am a major Queen fan). Listen to the Queen version and pay close attention to both Roger's drum part and John's bass line and then compare. I was very skeptical when I first decided to listen to this "cover." I had read where people said that Brian May not only like their rendition but had a link to it on one of his websites to promote it (not shabby, IMHO). Avi's faithfulness to John's bassline and Kevin's faithfulness to Roger's beats was epic for me. The megaphone in Mitch's guitar solo is actually a prop for the video. When they do this in concert there is no megaphone. The "Pentaholics" can explain about the couch. I believe the couch driving down the road is an homage to the movie "Wayne's World" which brought Bohemian Rhapsody back to the charts, and the four shooting stars during the night sky is an homage to the four members of Queen and possibly to Brian May's passion for Astronomy.
Brian May has a doctorate in Astro Physics
I love how you said it wasn't your favourite only for Mitch and his guitar solo to kick in and your faces go all đ¶đŠđźđŻđČđ±đ€Żđ€Żđ€©đ€©đ€© when you heard him!!! Lol Brian May gave his seal of approval for this rendition, so it's at the top.
@Serah Olivia
đŻđČ
Yup, PTX always manage to shock us.
Thanks for watching
The competition is already over in week one. You started the with the best cover rendition right out of the gate lol. But still check out the Acapop! KIDS rendition. Scott from PTX helped form the all children's a cappella group that features a rotating arrangement of about 30 or so kids all under the age of 17. A few of the founding members are 17 now but at the time of their debut everyone was between the ages of like 7 and 15. I think you'll be thoroughly impressed by them. The guys behind a lot of the PTX success (Ben Bram, Shams and Scott) do the arranging and filming of their music videos.
@Drew Snyder
Thank you for the information and your suggestion, we will certainly give those a go too.
We have set the bar high and it will be interesting to see who we can find along the way.
Feel free to add your own scores but not favouritism allowed.
Cheers for now
Just a brilliant arrangement top (Mitch) to bottom (Avi). Maybe someone else can top this, but it's a high bar indeed.
As I'm sure people have mentioned,Brian May, put this out to his followers on social media saying simply, "Enjoy!" So I think they are definitely up there with the best covers of this song! At the end when it pans to the sky with the stars, it's a not to Brian Mays astrophysics degree!
Even better, Brian May's exact words were : (caps his) "GREAT VERSION. Enjoy."
Mitch doesnât use a megaphone when they perform this song live. When the space shot is a tribute to Brian May who has PhD in astrophysics.
The megaphone is only a prop... Mitch doesnât use it live! Brian May posted this on his social media stating,âEnjoy!â.
Always great to watch you being genuinely impressed with the talent and creativity of PTX. No false drama, just intelligent appreciation. As a viewer of a certain age, I enjoy reactors who are familiar with the subject matter. Nothing quite as disappointing as these young fellas who haven't heard of Queen, Freddie, or this iconic song, trying to react to the PTX cover. Btw, the star-scape portion of the video during the second guitar solo is paying homage to Brian May, who has a doctoral degree in astrophysics. I love how PTX always do their homework when they undertake a cover, especially one as legendary as this.
@Kaye Castleman
Hello to you too and thank you for popping in.
We always try and add a little bit of information and always looking to broaden our musical horizons.
Thank you for the nice comment and hope you pop back to see us soon.
Hi, I love your reactions! I want to recommend their MTV Popspring performance from 2016, as you've mentioned before that you want to hear them live. It was professionally filmed and has great sound quality. They did 3 original songs and their Michaels Jackson Medley. I am sure you will love it.
@Katharina
Hello and thank you for the recommendation.
We do intend to get onto some more of their "medley's, evolution of's" and we hope to get onto them soon.,
Thanks for popping in.
They are all amazing for sure but Avi is my absolute favorite! I miss his depth of sound/bass in the new songs without him, but Matt does a great job as well. But thereâs only 1 AVI!! Thereâs something about the fullness, and smoothness of his voice! It doesnât get drowned out. Thereâs no missing it! Great reaction fellas!! Great job!
Fun fact: Mitch apparently was actually making those wah wah sounds with his mouth (in the studio recording). The video director apparently just thought it looked better with the megaphone.
I love Queen. RIP Freddie. Also love PTX
đYou guys spoke TOO SOON about not being impressedđ.
đFun Fact! Dr. Brain May loved this cover and shared it on his Instagram and his Facebook page.
đFun Fact! PENTATONIX is among the artists that will be performing a tribute to QUEEN on a TV special mid November
đđBEST FACT! it's sad that you gentlemen are becoming jaded. Come on guys! This is done VOCALLY!! it's among a FAN FAVORITE when they perform it LIVE on tour!! And NO! Mitch does NOT use a megaphone on stage just his vocal and mic!!
This is THEE MOST TALENTED ACAPELLA GROUP! 3 Grammys, Among MANY awards, Music industry respect and recognition ect......
@Cecy Z
đđ
Yup, we do tend to speak too soon when PTX are involved.
Yup, we heard that Mr. May enjoyed this version and Angelina Jordan and Alip Ba Ta's, he has too much time on his hands
OK, we have not heard about this TV special, we will do some research on that and maybe add something in.
Ahh, not getting jaded, it's too easy to forget that they are producing the music after a few watches, you do tend to forget.
I watched the video back and we do say on a number of times how great they are, we don't do jumping off our chairs here đ.
Thank you for the fun facts and many have said the same about the megaphone being only a prop
Thanks for watching and let's see if we can find anything that will stand up against our opening offer.
Cheers
@@BritPopsReact âSalutations from California! And YES! Checkout Acapop KIDS! (ALL ACAPELLA kids group cofounded by Scott from PTX!! ) Their cover of Bohemien Rhapsody/Somebody To Love mashup is INSANE!! ((ALL KID VOCALS!! They have bass and beatboxers as well))
Loved this idea! Its a different way of comparing cover artists and a fair one too.. About Pentatonix: a cappella singing of ay kind is amazing, but when you sing like that.. oh good lord..
A personal note here... The first a cappella group I ever heard - and it happened to be live - was the Yale University group called the Whiffenpoofs about 30 years ago, at their performance at the Afghan Church in Bombay (now Mumbai), India. The acoustics in a very old church built in 1865, made for a chorus at a time in a time when sound equipment and mikes were unheard of, is incredible. I think a cappella singing is never better than in a church with that acoustic capacity.
Loced your reaction, and the very idea. Will be tuning in on Bohemian Monday...đ
@Srikanth Srinivas
Hello to you and thank you for your informative comment.
Glad you enjoy the concept and we hope that we will at least have you for company on the next ones.
Just having a quick look and I can see that there are many Yale Whiffenpoofs, so they replaced the group each year.
They were established in 1909 and are the oldest such group in the United States.
They take a years leave of absence to go on tour.
Cole Porter and Jonathan Coulton are former members.
How very interesting, I did not know any of that.
Thank you for sharing and expanding my knowledge
I wonder if they have done a version of Bohemian Rhapsody!!
Come back soon.
Best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody of all time!!!!!
@Ryan Je
Well, we are going to put it to the test over the next few weeks.
Stay tuned and feel free to give you own feedback on what we find.
Thanks for watching
I love all of your reactions for Pentatontix.
For an inside look, watch Pentatonix's "Behind the Scenes" for this video!
Iâm typing in the middle of your reaction and iâm shocked you arenât BLOWN AWAY! This is in my top 3 fave Pentatonix performances.
@TCarman
That's OK, we disguise BLOWN AWAY very well, yes it was great performance and we totally enjoyed it, we just don't jump around much.
Great idea guys! Respect to all the BR covers just for daring to do so, such an iconic song. Iâm a Pentaholic so of course, I just love their rendition. Itâs always an earful of goodies. Their arrangements are always so clever. Keep enjoying. Itâs always fun to watch your reaction. đ€
This was a challenging one for them to make as the moving couch tipped over easily. Their behind the scenes "The Making Of Bohemian Rhapsody" is very enjoyable.
When they do this live, they don't use a megaphone. Mitch just uses his microphone.
Notice that on the second guitar solo at 10:20 the stars are shooting across the sky. This is in homage to Brian May, lead guitarist, who got a degree in astrophysics, the study of stars.
Brian May gave iPentatonixâs version a shout out and a link on his social media.
By the way. The mega phone was a prop. Youâll realise that when you watch a live performant. The 4 shooting stars are one for each of the Queen members. Like I said the megaphone wasnât real, just a prop.đđđđđđ
i knew you were speaking too soon on how it was just normal for ptx bcz we all knew the guitar solo was coming next and btw he does it without the megaphone live and also this video was professionally done there is a making of video for this video they paid people a good bit of money for this and the mobile couch hahahaha
You should see Pentatonix do this live, Mitch does the guitar solo without the megaphone
Home Free's version from April 2021 will really get you.
@Buffie Klumpenhower
Thank you for the comment and they are on the list.
We are looking forward to seeing how they cover this after the way PTX did it.
Fun times ahead.
Thanks for watching too
Pentatonix is the best ......
I'm not who was more shocked at that megaphone bit! How freaking cool is this?! I loved it, Chuey is back squiggling with 4 paws up! I love Queen, Pentatonix isn't really my thing, BUT they are so talented, creative, and captivating! Didn't Slayer do Bohemian Rhapsody..............??????????? Don't panic! They didn't do it! LMAO
@Chuey's Mama
LMAO Too!!, you sure got me with the Slayer comment!!
Glad you guys enjoyed this one and what are you two still doing up at this hour!!
Get some sleep, we have more videos coming and we don't want our two best reviewers to be dog tired!!
Cheers for now and thanks for the laughs
@@BritPopsReact Chuey is an early riser, so "nature" calls, plus time to get my jr. metal head ready for school.
At last! đđ The sheer enjoyment and amazement on your faces, from the beginning to the the end, plus comments like, "wow, that was impressive!", "brilliant, clever, fun, very well done" etc etc, after all that, a 9/10 is a bit low gentlemen. I really enjoy watching you react to PTX and other phenomenal artists. I'll be on this Rhapsody journey with you and I'll be watching your reactions and scores very closely. đ§ đ Let see how other B Rhapsody covers compare to this no instruments masterpiece. Its a 10/10 from me. đđđ
@Faith Reasons
đđ You know us two fools well enough to know we have no real idea what we are talking about.
A full 10/10 would be the Queen version and we did enjoy this very much but just gave some wiggle room.
We understand the HF boys also have a version of BR, where are we going to put that one without causing a stir!!
All in good fun and let's see what other we can find out there.
Thanks for the fun comment and it's going to be interesting... đđ
Pentatonix is the winner...mic drop!
I canât believe you havenât done Hallelujah!
Check out Aha live at the star vista. When you see what Mitch and Avi can do you wonât believe your ears.
I SO want them to react to this one, but I actually don't think they're ready! đđđ
I bet no one elseâs will be a cappella.
That was so cool. I love that videoâŁïž
This has got to be Kevin's best beatbox where it comes to percussion
This is a song they did not want to do. In an interview Scott said it's to complex and didn't think they could do it justice, plus they did not want to disrespect Queen or the song. However, the nonstop fan pressure they decided to give it a shot. He said if it was up to them it would never have seen the light of day but because of the fans they went ahead and released it.
@JS
Yes, you can completely understand that it is a tough song to take on, with instruments, let alone all by voice only.
They did a great job, but you could image the pressure they were under to deliver.
Thanks for the comment.
Wow!Cool song and voices!They sing very beautifully!Super!Thank you friends. Great reaction!đđ·đș
Oh yeah...PTX. There simply isn't anything that I can say that hasn't been said already about their stupendous talent!!.
I could write a 10 page dissertation on each of the singers, but don't want to run on at teh ...mouth? Keyboard? LOL.
I'm not sure which of the vocal percussionists I like the most between Kevin and Adam from Home Free. Those two are easily the top 2 in the world. Both tops in their genre perhaps is the better way to view it.
I'll leave it at...Awesome..simply a masterpiece.
Daniel
OMG you guys have to do Home Free, The Butt's Remix LOL.
@Daniel O'Sheigh
We have a few requests for The Butt's Remix and that sounds fun.
Apparently Home Free also did a Bohemian Rhapsody, so they are on the list.
Competition is over NOBODY will cover this as well as PTX!
This was Avi's parting shot to Pentatonix
@willo294
He did a great job on this one.
That bass is low!!
Great reactions as always. I'm looking forward to rest of the covers.
So many PTX songs I want to see you guys react to.....hate the wait lol
@UWBadger79
Yup, we have som many we want to get to also, our problem lack of time.
We will try and do more soon.
Thanks for the comment
Pentatonix is great at everything they do! Zac Brown Band also does a stellar job on Bohemian Rhapsody!
@Janice Oliver
Hello and thank you for the comment, we will add your suggestion to the list and see if we get to react to that one too.
Thanks for watching.
The motorized sofa most likely cost more than the 3,500 pounds. There is a making of the "video" of make of the video. Scott and Kirstin almost flipped the sofa climbing over the back which was edited out. This was made outdoors at night and it was cold enough to see their breath in the video.
Thank you Guys!
@Thomas Briggs
Hello and thank you for the comment and the information.
When I mentioned the $3.500 that was the amount Queen paid for the original BR video we all know today.
Sorry for any confusion, this was a great video that they created too.
Thanks for watching
Thank you for a great, very positive, reaction! The look on your faces at several points says it all! ;)
@Garry Wood
Thank you for the comment too.
This is an interesting excursion into the various covers of the song. I am really enjoying your reactions and comments. I thought the look of pleasure on both your faces even before Mitch started singing showed that you knew you were in for a treat.
9 out of 10? You are deaf then guys. Nobody could do a capella cover of this quality !
Mitch, Scott, and Kirstie are all 19 or 20 here. They had just won the TV Acapella show (sorry I don't recall the name at the moment). Those three were school mates and are all the same age. Avi and Kevin were a little older.
no ... some years had passed between when they won the show, and when they shot this video
Want a suggestion thatâll be your new favorite PTX video? Hmm?
Pentatonix - New Rules X Are You That Somebody
Trust me đđ„
Can you get any better than that ? Awesome !!
SO GLAD you finally got to this one
Relevant I think Mitch had just been diagnosed with cancer at this point...
Good job guys
Hi guys, Iâm so glad you chose to do Pentatonix bohemian Rhapsody, it is one of my favorite PTX recordings. (And I will stop bugging you now) I would have marked it higher, but your the boss, and Iâm very bias. When performing on stage Iâve read that Mitch doesnât need the megaphone to make the same guitar sounds, but it was more believable for the video. Thank you again for playing this great hit by PTX, and thank you both so much for sharing this video xxx
Saw them do this live in 2018, with Matt. They did it as the encore. No megaphone. It was awesome.
@Elaine Howard
You are more than welcome and we got there in the end, we had the idea to tie this section in with all the other BR requests, so we had to figure a few things out.
We will give the Metal Monday's a bit of a rest for now, but they will be back as they have been fun to do also.
Just a quick one, where are you exactly as you do seem to watch our videos at all hours!!
Have a great day and thanks for all the great support.
@@BritPopsReact hi BP2 Iâm a night owl, Iâm not too far away from you actually, Leicestershire. But I did live in Plymouth for 5 years, (even closer) when hubby was in the navy. Xxx
@@heidifruchtl354 hi Heidi, how lucky are you, I would love to see Pentatonix live. Alas I will have to rely on CZcams for my PTX fix. Thank you so much for your reply xxxx
@@elainehoward8822 I am so very lucky. My hubby got us the tickets for my birthday. He was ready to go after the end of the show. I refused, they hadn't done the song during the show, and it was the first concert after the classics album came out. I was sad that Avi left, but still thrilled to be able to get to see them. They also did the evolution of Rhianna and Mitch introduced the medley. Plus they sang can't sleep love. My hubby doesn't know their music as well as I do, and was so lost.
Can't believe you guys hadn't already done this one! It's just amazing, nice job as always!
@Brew Swillis
Ah, you know us well enough that we do everything ass backwards, just for fun.
Thanks for popping in.
@@BritPopsReact Bass ackwards indeed. Lol Hey gents, still hoping youâll do a Dirty Loops reaction for me. They recently dropped an awesome cover of Thriller that is Quincy Jones approved! (Heâs their manager, btw) Cheers!
Brian May put the Pentatonix version on his page. As Michael said below. thanks for the reaction
i also want to add mitch can do that guitar solo with his voice live so it's not just the autotune helping him it sounds the same live
I am here for all versions of Bohemian Rhapsody you react to but Pentatonix will always be my favorite cover ââ
@Purple Cinnamon
That is perfectly fine with us, let's see if we can find some other that you may also enjoy along the way.
Thanks for watching.
@@BritPopsReact anytime ââ
This is so well done. The arrangement is very clever - again. And it works so completely that one really needs no instruments for this massive rock song. Then there are all the brilliant parts, of course,
I also like the video al lot. The sofa, starting seemingly safe in a room, becomes a vehicle for a ride through the night, quite fitting the dark undertones of Bohemian Rhapsody, while the group acts quite seriously, sprinkled with funny elements, to return to the once more complete room... Nice to watch and food for thought, if one wants that.

First, you have to remind yourself that they are the instruments as it's easy to forget.
They crammed so many things into this video that we did not pick up on and only after reading the comments did we go "oh yeah they did that too".
Very very clever indeed.
Thanks for watching and let's see if we can find anything that will get close to this version.
Suggestions -- Shallow, Can't Help Falling in Love, Sing, Problem. And when you are ready for Christmas -- The First Noel, Deck the Halls, Carol of the Bells, That's Christmas to Me, O Come All Ye Faithful
Glad to see you have found Pentatonix you need to react to Hallelujah and Sound of Silence and Imagine....you should also check out Home Free which is another Accapello group a bit more on the country side.
@Carrie Adams
Hello and thank you for the comment, although we have already most of those and others too and we do have a PTX playlist and have recently done a Home Free reaction too.
Thanks for popping in.
@@BritPopsReact Thank you for the reply but I could not find any of those by Pentatonix in your channel...
@Carrie Adams
That is strange.
Here is a link to our PTX playlist:

If you guys are going to keep reacting to bohemian rhapsody covers, one of my favorites is VK Goes Wild's piano cover. She is an absolute beast.
@M Hennessey
Okeydokey, she is on the list!!
It will be interesting to see how that goes.
Thanks for the recommendation.
@@BritPopsReact awesome! I've always wanted to see people react to her, her cover has around 10 million views. It's certainly not a high energy cover like this is ( love ptx ) but I would say it is almost haunting.
Thank you so much! Love this one. Not sure I agree with your scoring, but hey it's you show.đKeep them coming please.
Ooof. Yâall probably shouldâve finished with PTX. You will see why, Iâm sure.
@Justin Perry
We shall see, we have some impressive ones lined up.
a young new band by the name of "Queen" are on the list đđ
Thanks for watching and come back and see what we find.
Awesome reaction. I wonder though if there is a 10 out there...hmmm good luck đ€đ
@Teresa M
If there is not a 10 out there, we will promote them to a 10/10 for beating all the opposition.
How's that?
Let's see what we can find
Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact Too right! đ
The strings in the Beginning simulate the Piano of the live version of Queen.
The Megafon is fake. Mitch can do it without.
To me its the best, including queen
Love it, please can ye react to the making of this..... it shows just how much they put into rehearsals etc; they recorded this until 5:30 in the morning, the couch theyre sat on they nearly fell off it,
LOL....You facial expressions were worth the price of admission by itself. Loved it! For the record, I believe the remote controlled moving couch exhausted the the $3,500 you referenced.
@mel P
Yup, these guys always catch us off guard and they are a great talent.
Ahh, I think I may have confused you, the $3.500 was how much Queen payed for the original 4 face video, so that they did not have to attend Top of The Pops.
That was a great investment.
Thanks for watching and the fun comment.
@@BritPopsReact Yup!!!! I didn't listen hard enough.:)
That was pretty good and very close to the original sound, I still always get that image of 'The Flying Pickets' when I hear that beatbox style of music though :)
Awesome reaction! I love the looks on your faces as each segment plays. I'm a little disappointed that you gave them a 9 out of 10 for a score. In my opinion it's a 10 out of 10. (Or at least a 9.8 out of 10).
The bullhorn is only a prop...Mitch does the guitar solo with just his voice.
Thank you for all that you do for us viewers!!
Sending you love from Texas!
@Michelle Cooper
Hello and thank you for the comment.
Don't be too disappointed, we did state that for the performance it was a 10/10 and we are sort of thinking the Queen version is the 10/10
Will anyone get close to PTX?
That was a genious idea to use the bullhorn(megaphone in the UK) i'm kind of sad to hear that fact..
Tune in next Monday to see what we can find..
Thanks for watching.
Behind the Scenes (they ran into a few issues you will see). This was done in the year Avi left and that may have effected the timing. For a long time in interviews they said they would not do it because "It was Queen's thing".

Just stumbled across your reaction in my feed (Iâm both a Queen -first and foremost- and Pentatonix fan so no surprise the algorithm brought you here đ) I really like the idea of reacting to just Borap covers so will subscribe & stick around for that!
If I recall the management had a fit that Queen would spend so much on a video! đ. They were usually ahead of the curve! Iâd say it was a good return on their moneyâŠmuch to Top of The Pops dismay đ
@Donna J
Hello to you and thanks for popping in.
It should be fun and we hope to find some interesting covers along the way.
Thanks for the interesting comment too.
Cheers đđ
Masterful PTX. Nothing is beyond them!
First time I have ever witnessed a Megaphone Mitch Slap.
I WANNA CAST MY VOTE FOR PTX BEST COVER EVER!!!!
