NOW WE TALKING‼️🔥 | Pentatonix - Bohemian Rhapsody | REACTION

[@danielcarter837]

The drums are all Kevin. He is just that good. 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. Brian May the lead guitarist of Queen posted this video to his social media.

[@lynn2574]

I absolutely love their cover. Brian May, Queen’s guitarist, gave his approval on it. To me, that speaks volumes. As others have said- drums are all Kevin, and the megaphone Mitch held for his ‘guitar’ solo is just a prop. He does it without live in concert.

[@SaleBSGN]

Brian May drummer???

[@lynn2574]

@@SaleBSGN oops! Guitarist!!! Was thinking Kevin drumming. Thanks!

[@NilZed1]

There is no ONE taking/being the stage presences. it's all of them. Each has moments and songs we think of as 'theirs' but it's a complex whole.

[@tamijean6616]

Best song of all time. So many layers to this song and to think it was all done without any digital. Mind blowing. How many tracks they used just on that cascading part alone. They did a great job with this cover

[@G-grandma_Army]

I’ve seen this probably hundreds if times and never tire if it. It is crazy to me that five “kids” can actually rock it out with just their voices. Where the rock part comes in with Scott at the lead, I actually feel the beat. Hard to articulate what I’m trying to say other than they are unbelievable!

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

This is the perfect group to cover a song like Bohemian. Kind of reminds us of what a talented and ionic group Queen was and Freddie as lead singer. They were all such talented lyricists. In the beginning of the song it bounced from left headphone to the right just like in the original song. So fun!

[@christineharrison7815]

You want to do live? You want to know them better? Watch their Sing Off performances! Where Kevin and Avi had only just met the 19 year old trio to do this because 3 people wasn't big enough! The grew.... quickly.... together and so very well they not only killed it... they won! I still go back as a pentaholic (and I'm sure we all do!) To watch them struggle but nail each performance LIVE

[@franciscooctavius5957]

This is simply mind blowing sound. I can’t believe I pie never listened to this group until today. And I appreciate your true reaction Al appreciation to what you are hearing LFR. The ability to make these sounds with not just a beat box but the bass that comes with it is such a tribute to Freddie’s greatest accomplishment. And Mitch making those guitar sounds with his voice is nothing short of genius level good

[@adriana_stanton]

I was waiting for your reaction on my favorite part (when Avi sings “Can you hear the wind blows” with his beautiful bass voice) but you just went right through it 😭

[@tashumbriamiller]

"Here we go!"....my favorite part. He had me rolling.😆

[@warrenrines3924]

Good morning van and LFR family. I love watching because I hear music I would never hear any other place. Thank you for broadening the music I listen to. Great reaction

[@LFRFAMILY]

Good Morning Warren!! Thank YOU for your kind words.

[@Natalie-fv3ge]

Best live from them is Aha! Preformed in Singapore at the star vista. This is from a fans phone but it is amazing

[@Coachjgray1]

You are an amazing reactor, and also a humble person. Your a great role model as well, and I’m glad our youth and young adults get to hear your overall message! Much Love! #great reaction

[@dannwalker9865]

If you want to see Kevin's versatility and talent, you really should watch his solo cover of Down. It's really amazing 🎵🎶🔥🔥💯💯🤘

[@hurrle2]

Yes!

[@Miobambino]

Bismillah means “In the name of God” and is a reference to Freddie’s religion and heritage. Was very much argued about with the record label back in the day, I believe. And the Wayne’s World head mosh is essential! Great reaction 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❣️

[@rowanmayfair9249]

I'd check out their run on The Sing Off. Kristen, Mitch and Scott went to school together. When they signed up for competition they had to find their bass and beat boxer. The found Avi and Kevin only a few weeks before show. Shows how well they worked together from the beginning.

[@JoyAllgood]

Saw this one before… still good. Can’t wait for you to upload the “Down” video by KO from the live stream. “Wait!!! That’s my guy! Hold up… no that’s him! That dude!”

[@hurrle2]

The complexity of this arrangement is amazing. It took them 5 years to perfect it to the point of recording it. It is amazing and if you notice ob the "Bismillah" part scott is doing both the let him go and the "we will not let him go" this was a full team effort because the timing had to be perfect. Kevin was also singing in some parts as well as beat boxing drums and everything else. There is no group better then PTX.

[@georgesigala3716]

Love watching you and the family react to the videos. I grew up in the 70s. I love watching your whole family get into the music I grew up on is cool. Keep up the Awesome work LFR Fam!

[@pennyhill7680]

Immediate chills, Love them. Have a fantastic day and thank You for All You do.

[@JNUKARA]

One of my favorite lives is their performance of Dog Days are Over from when they were on the Sing Off. The very first Mitch-slap - so good, he even slapped himself, not to mention all the judges!

[@georgephillips3625]

This is the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody ever.

[@ronnierocha42]

Love the channel and reaction video! Pentaholic here!

[@LFRFAMILY]

You and the Pentaholics Rocks. Thanks for the love Ronnie!!

[@1IndigoHeart]

Bismillah means “In the name of God!” I was a little girl when this song was on the radio. My maiden name was Miller. I really thought they were singing, “Miss Miller!”

[@seanroberts4011]

... I wasn't even aware there was a Pentatonix cover of Bohemian Rhapsody... and I'm right there with you, Van. They are just amazing.

[@dtwolfe63]

Try the live performance of Hallelujah, from their television Christmas special in 2016. Sounds almost exactly the same as the official video.

[@rebashuman3755]

Just love the energy you give off in every single video, without fail. Wish you and yours happiness, health and wealth. 🧡

[@maryellenmohundro6614]

My suggestion for you is to watch Season 3 of The Sing Off. It is when PTX first started off. It is awesome and you can see how they have grown since then.

[@thatgardeninggirl2864]

They are absolutely AMAZING

[@kellygreen7559]

If I'm not mistaken I heard from 1 of their interviews that when it came to this song it took them 5 years to get this arrangement right to there Saturday That takes that occasion

[@susanhumphrey6427]

First time hearing this! WOW!!! 😍😍😍

[@celiachristman104]

If you want to see their theatricality, watch their live version of "Joyful, Joyful" which they did on their Christmas tour this year. This is a great example. Thank you for your reaction.

[@TheCoderJo]

Love watching you watching them!

[@missybishop4996]

Again I cry EVERY single time for them Brilliant

[@missybishop4996]

Mitch is definitely 1of a kind....💓💓💓💓💓

[@brittneyairgood]

ur son needs to react to this!

[@justmejoy124]

Now that was awesome sauce man💯

[@milissaleatherwood6837]

The live version of "aha" at the star Vista is the big Mitch moment. Kevin's drum kit voice is crazy! Check out his solo cover of "down" by Marion Hill.

[@dejns6945]

The live is so much better.

[@leannebarbour4716]

Love your PTX reactions so far ... Yes - that is really Kevin making the drum noises but you can see him us some kind of stomp pad when you see their concerts. Kirsten and Mitch are notorious for changing their look. She is considered a mezzo soprano so she can go high and low in the ladies rang. Mitch is considered a tenor but some have called him a countertenor because he can sing so high. Scott (the blonde) is a baritone so he can get the highs and the lows. Avi (the guy that looks like Jesus) is a bass and has a HUGE range, He left the group in 2017 for personal and health reasons and was replaced with Matt. There is a ton of live versions/concert recordings out there. If you are in a Christmas mood, their version of Silent Night will give you chills. They have originals in addition to their covers. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole ...

[@tinaanderson6185]

Shared to my facebook......this was GREAT !

[@LFRFAMILY]

Thank You!!

[@travisrussell9166]

Have to admit they are talented

[@laureltaylor4535]

They are Incredibly talented.

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!

[@michaelrunnels7660]

The guy that's doing the "Patadoopaddom dadadooom" is Kevin, the beat boxer. He was featured on a PBS special called "At the Top of Carnegie Hall" on tv playing the alto saxaphone.

[@davidphillips4476]

Yep just some crazy stuff from the most talented vocalists out their. They go together like no others.

[@Anna-xx1lv]

Gold - Pentatonix (Kiiara Cover)....PLEASE!!! 🙏🏻 and Thank you! It’s amazing! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

[@ihateallandme]

Thank you so very, very much for taking my suggestion for reviewing this! Love it! Love your review. Thank you, again.

[@raychilcote5558]

You thoroughly enjoyed this one!

[@revwroth3698]

I think in that one bit he's saying Bismillah. Apparently Mercury was a Zoroastrian.

[@donnamiley6778]

I was amazed on how accurate it sounds.

[@jamesreilly9195]

Go to their beginning , it will explain alot of your questions. Sing off show on Utube featuring penatonix which won the year they played the show // dude they all do some type of beatbox when needed but Kevin and Avi do the majority of it

[@thomthom6268]

This might be PTX best song. But it is a Matt masterpiece. And thank you PTX for letting have that moment. It is a true homage.

[@kathyross5705]

You need to see the video. They do things that you have to see to get the full effect.

[@heidi_d]

I highly doubt any PTX members can relate to literally killing someone, going on trial and being sent to their death because of it (and the stages of grief one might experience.) But I’m sure all of us can relate to the general feelings in this song. It’s a damned masterpiece! Edited to add: “literally” killing someone…brought to my attention that a metaphorical killing (ending) could definitely be the case, particularly since Queen leaves this up to personal interpretation. Thank you for the info @Elizabeth Felet 💜

[@bluebell3720]

Freddie never explained the song

[@angelacarpenter9134]

I just absolutely love your reaction your personality and that smile

this is worth it.

[@MO-ju1zm]

PTX Aha Singapore Star Vista- Live performance ( it is shot from a camera phone ). You will be Mitch slapped and Avi attacked. Down from Kevin from PTX.

[@heidifruchtl354]

But it needs to be the Singapore star Vista video. There is another Singapore video, which is not the ultimate Mitch slap.

[@MO-ju1zm]

@@heidifruchtl354 I didn’t realize there were two. I will edit it now. I am talking about the one where Mitch had the red bulls lol. The one you are referring to lol.

[@heidifruchtl354]

@@MO-ju1zm there is another video, more professionally shot, with better sound quality, BUT it misses the Mitch slap. I watched it about 3 years ago, and was very disappointed. Then I was watching another reactor, and they were watching a Singapore video, but definitely not the Singapore star Vista video. So I've seen 4, but the red bull effect is the bomb. I have watched reactors who have jumped out of chairs, clutched chests, heads exploded. Good times. I usually request reactors to install seat belts and have someone be ready to call the paramedics after watching. So much fun, for us. 🤣

[@ishort0967]

Just discovered your channel and I must say I appreciate your ear in pointing out the nuances…I’m picky about my reactors..so always appreciate finding a new one that actually has something significant and honest to say. PTX brought me to your channel..but I love all the acapella groups…but love anything that moves me🤗

[@BrandeeM]

I saw them live, without Avi. They were still great. Going to see Avi in September, I’m prepared to have my mind melted.

[@DiDaC07]

The Song was Written after the USA tour in 1974 (freddy discover his homosexuality in that tour) ,The song is the acceptance of your homosexuality (I Kill a man)and describes the feelings of being rejected by your family.

[@bluebell3720]

According to his first gf he told her he also liked men and Mary has implied he told her but later when he was trying to explain about David she said are you trying to tell me you're gay

I love your smile! :)

This song came out the year I graduated high school, I loved it and even got my Mom to like a lot of Queen.

[@ms.laperry8106]

If u want something live, Pentatonix Popspring concert 2016. It has 3 of their original songs from their album 2015.

[@cheryloakley8334]

mitch sounds exactly like Freddie and has a lot of his ways.

[@ellens1832]

Easy way to remember. Kirsty rhymes with thirsty. I love your reactions. Thank you.

My first time hearing this i had to do a double take. Thought i might have hit the Queen video by mistake. 😳😆✌🏻💖

[@webdar55]

If you want a great Pentatonix LIVE video to see their stage presence, you should react to "Pentatonix popspring performance 2016." - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXiweaSPrdWhsM0 There are 4 songs in one video....it's fantastic!

[@steveeverett1736]

Yep the beatboxer is Kevin, and the gal often goes by Kirstie but it's Kirsten. You should also listen to 4th Impact, do their own cover of this, which is more a pop-rock style

[@steveeverett1736]

if you're interested, you should check their audition on BGT, doing Bang Bang, the rap sequence is awesome!

[@pambillings9368]

This sounds so awesome!!

You need the video to appreciate this version. Add an effect and you won’t be blocked.

[@billparrish4385]

Hey Van, you should check out "Bang! feat. Deejay Young | VoicePlay A Cappella". It's a cover of a fairly recent song that was making the rounds a couple years back, by a group called AJR. I like VoicePlay's version better than the original. I really think you'll love it!

[@addisonmcdorman7929]

Other than the fact that Mitch had a battle with cancer a few years ago I'm not sure any others have a personal experience that would connect them to this song. However, I am sure their Queen fans and I would be surprised if they didn't know the background to this song and out related to Freddy's life.

[@Coachjgray1]

Oh and…sorry. Can you do Tpain -Mashup, it’s still mind blowing to me because of the mashup, how it turns out to very emotional and turns into a story to songs that I even partied too. It’s just crazy , I think you will like it.

Bismillah (Arabic: بسم الله) is a phrase in Arabic meaning "in the name of Allah". It is also the first word in the Qur'an, and refers to the Qur'an's opening phrase, the Basmala.

[@justmejoy124]

Dang #2 somebody beat me here lol

[@LFRFAMILY]

LOL

[@VeryCherryCherry]

You have the word right; "bismillah" is an Arabic term that means "in the name of God" (shortened from "Bismillah ir rahman ir rahim").

[@Scrub_Jake]

Also Van! I know JoJo is a rap fan, and so are you of course. Which means that if y’all both react to Pentatonix - New Rules X Are You That Somebody… it’ll be your favorite song ever!

Bismillăh is the Islamic phrase "In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Freddie came from Tanzania, which has a large Islamic population. As for the meaning of the song. Brian May says that nobody in the band knows the meaning. Even Freddie himself said it was tongue-in-cheek and fantasy and wanted the listeners to evaluate it and decide what they take it to mean. So no...don't take it as literally killing a man...

[@bluebell3720]

Bissmillah is part of the phrase but just means in the name of God in arabic but muslims translate it as in the name of Allah Allah is arabic for God
