This metalhead reacts to the Queen song Bohemian Rhapsody but performed by Pentatonix and I have to say... they rocked it and made it their own!
Whether you're a Pentatonix fan or not, I hope you enjoy my reaction to this song! I had a blast filming it and I hope you enjoy watching it. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know!

They pride themselves on being able to sing any of their songs live. No megaphone needed. Daft Punk is their first Grammy. I recommend that one.

Brian May did post the link to PTX's cover when it was released, so obviously he liked it. The bass whom you appreciated is Avi Kaplan, who trained as a basso profundo in his opera/classical voice major in college. He left the group in 2017 for various reasons (including his mother's cancer), and began releasing original solo music in early 2019 (once the legal restriction on doing so expired) (he did release an EP while he was still in PTX though), and has since released 3 EP's and an 11-song, all-original album in 2022. He's toured Europe twice and the US/Canada 2 1/2 times (the 1/2 due to having to cancel a tour that had just started when the Covid lockdown happened), and he has a large, appreciative fanbase of his own. For a taste of what he's done in the last 6 months or so, here's a studio version of his original "When I'm a Fool", recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, accompanied by some of the best studio musicians in LA. So you'll see that he's no longer doing a cappella. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LE24UTH3pmQ.html

It took the group 5 years before they felt confident enough with their vocals and arrangement to do this. They wanted to make sure it was the best homage to Queen and Freddie as they could. Mitch Grassi, ( the one that looks and sounds like Freddie) is a natural countertenor. His highest note in videos is A5...although his whistle notes sound like a sharpie on a whiteboard. He only used the megaphone in the video...other times for live shows ( yes, the group prides themselves on being able to sound exactly the same live as on official videos) , he doesn't use it...doesn't need it. Members: Scott Hoying - tall blond guy- baritone - covers bass when bass is singing lead. Mitch Grassi- Freddie Mercury look-alike- tenor/counter tenor. Kirstin ( Kirstie) Maldonado -blond ( occasionally) female- mezzo soprano- great belting abilities Kevin Olusola- beatboxer/ tenor/cellist. Kevin is the genius of the group with perfect pitch- a world class cellist and sax player. Avi Kaplan- dark-haired male- bass- Avi left the group in 2017 and is now enjoying a solo career. Matt Sallee took over as bass in the beginning of 2018 and has been a wonderful addition to the group ever since. I suggest for your next Pentatonix (PTX) reaction: Daft Punk . It's a medley of about 5-6 daft punk songs. it won them their first Grammy...and remember...they never do anything that they cannot do live. Oh...and thanks for doing this and giving back to your fans and wife. She's a smart lady if she's a PTX fan!

There are live videos of them doing Daft Punk, you can't hear the lowest bass notes because of the bad audio, but you can tell Avi is doing the work in the video, so you know the sound would have been there live, and it's as good or better than the produced version.

You did what I most appreciate about reactions. You gave us information about yourself, you explained your knowledge of the artist before playing the music, you paid attention and emotionally and intellectually responded to the music, and you gave us your thoughts on what you had just heard. One thing of many I could say about Pentatonix(PTX for short) is that they really always know what they are doing. Every performance I have seen, whether an official video or a live performance, has been carefully constructed and performed with gusto, as if they really believe in the piece they are doing. I hope you find other PTX pieces that bring you pleasure.

Thanks for sharing the backstory of why you reacted to this. If you have trouble accepting gifts and compliments, perhaps it would help if you think about how happy it makes the giver to see you enjoy the gift. As an introvert myself, I find it always helps to get out of my own head and really pay attention to what's going on with the people around me.

I'm one who has a hard time accepting gifts, but I enjoy giving a gift. I'm deliberate in the things I give, meaning I pay attention to the person and find just the right thing to give them. It can take months, sometimes. But the resulting joy gives me indescribable pleasure. That person knows it's carefully thought out and specifically for them, and not just some holiday or birthday obligation. It's for no one else. Your suggestion is a really good one. Perhaps Viking will, at some point, come to understand the giver.

Pentatonix has always had five members. The group name is inspired by the pentatonic scale (used a lot in pop music) as well as "penta" meaning "five" because they have five members. Kevin, the beatboxer, also sings and plays cello when they need an instrument. He's an all-around talent and practically a genius in his own right.

Kevin isn't practically a genius. He IS a genius. He got his pre-med major from Yale University, speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese, and had learned to play three musical instruments before he was 10 years old (cello, saxophone, and piano if I recall correctly). After Scott and Ben Bram (their manager) reached out to him, Pentatonix was born.

Kudos to the missus for fostering your joy, and kudos to you for opening a new musical door! New subscriber in the hope you will explore Pentatonix a little more. With a love for the Beatles and Queen, you may find their harmonies worth pursuing. They do big, lush arrangements (Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King, Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, Sound of Silence) as well as fun bops like Come Along, their 90s Dance Medley and a medley of Daft Punk songs that earned them their first Grammy. If you’re in an introspective mood, try John Lennox’s Imagine, Mad World or Say Something. They also have originals, like Coffee in Bed and Anchor. I enjoyed your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody very much, thanks. Peace from Ohio …

Pentatonix is the good acapella you mentioned. They are demonstrably the pinnacle of acapella, and they never let me down. They do covers, originals, and Christmas music about in equal amounts, have three Grammys and four nominations, billions of RU-vid views, and multi-platinum albums. They have been making music for over a decade. You might want to try "Imagine," "Sound of Silence," "Hallelujah" (the Leonard Cohen song), and "Mad World" covers. That spans the change-over between the bass, Avi, who you see here, and Matt who replaced him when he left amicably several years ago. All the other members remain the same, though they change their looks dramatically over time. Your wife's people welcome you, lol.

Glad you liked this. Pentatonix are incredible. I think this is one of the best a cappella covers ever. Brian May loves it and says he believes it's one of the best Boh Rhap covers ever. The guy with the high voice is Mitch Grassi and he's a counter tenor. They perform this live and Mitch can do the guitar solo just with his voice as the megaphone was just for effect for the video. Pentatonix have been together for 12 years. Everyone loves Avi Kaplan (the bass). He is the only member to leave Pentatonix (amicably) in 2017 for personal reasons as his mother was ill. He has an awesome solo career now. Their bass since 2017 is Matt Sallee and he's amazing too. Mitch (high tenor), Scott (the baritone, tall blonde) and Kirstie have been friends since they were 8 years old, grew up in Texas and sang in high school together. They found Kevin who is one of the best beatboxers in the world, who also sings tenor and plays the electric cello (sometimes all at the same time!) plus Avi in 2011 when they entered and won an a capella competition called 'the Sing-off'. They have many best-selling albums, three Grammy's and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They are very much known for their covers (their cover of Hallelujah has over 700 MILLION views!) and their Christmas music but their originals are excellent and very under-rated. They have a huge catalogue of more than 200 songs and in many different styles including pop, rock, hip-hop, rap, EDM, musical theatre, and world music, so there really is something for everyone. There are lots of Metalhead Pentaholics (it's what us PTX fans are called!) and I really think you'll enjoy some of these. Enjoy the rabbit hole!

Either way the bass, beat boxer and more general vocal performances will impress you. They all can sing very well, although the beat boxer, Kevin, rarely gets a chance to solo given how important his beat boxing is. They cover a wide range of genres incredibly well. Have subscribed in the hope that you do more Pentatonix.

Great reaction! There actually is supposed to be five of them. Their name comes from the "pentatonic scale," which is five notes per octave. Clever, huh? They just changed the ending to an x. You can't go wrong with any of their songs. You should also check out Avi Kaplan's solo work (the bass). He left the group in 2017, and started putting out his own original music in 2019.

The band was formed for *and won* season 3 of a TV reality show called the Sing Off, which pitted Acapella groups against each other. The grand prize was a recording contract. The recording company didn't know how to market acapella, so they paid off the contract instead of recording and promoting Pentatonix. PTX honed their craft making you tube videos on their couch, just five members singing and beatboxing covers in an apartment. The journey on the couch is a metaphor for their humble beginnings while staying true to themselves. There is a behind the scenes video if you're interested in how they completed the filming in one night. Enjoyed your commentary. I'll be looking for more. Peace from Las Vegas.

Good to see you back, Viking! And mad kudos to you're wife for helping you out! That being said, Pentatonix is definitely a rabbit hole worth diving into, and I see many people are already making recommendations lol. Hopefully you will get around to the other two groups which make up the "acapella trifecta": Home Free and VoicePlay. Home Free tends to be more country-oriented in their covers (with a few exceptions here and there). VoicePlay has a much wider range of genres, and depending on what song they're singing, they strongly imply theatrics in their videos. Since you're a fellow heathen, I bet you would love VoicePlay's cover of "My Mother Told Me"! Avi Kaplan is an awesome bass singer, but just wait until you hear the pipes of Tim Foust (Home Free) and the incredible range of Geoff Castellucci (VoicePlay)! Geoff also does solo work and make some pretty nice covers himself. Again, good to see you back brother, and may the gods ever be in your favor! SKÅL! 🍻

A big thanks to your wife for helping make this happen. I also have a hard time accepting gifts and compliments, so I understand. Subbing in hope of more PTX. If you do watch more prepare to be constantly surprised. Also, just a couple of helpful hints. Mitch (tenor) and Kirsty (alto/soprano, rhymes with thirsty) change their look constantly, so if you ask "Is that .... " the answer is always yes. They have had only had 1 personnel change in 12 years. This bass Avi (av-ee) left mid 2017 and was replaced by Matt. Also excellent, but different. Scott (baritone) got these crazy talented folks together. He isn't the "lead" singer (so they keep telling us), but he is the most frequent singer. They can go loud, they can go soft, they can make you dance in your chair, they absolutely own medleys, they can rap, they can do "instrumentals", they can make you cry, and if you like Christmas music they make all the old songs sound so fresh and new. Up until their last holiday album, if they used an instrument (cello, violin, piano) they showed it in the video. We followers of PTX are called Pentaholics and we are mostly really nice and helpful. Welcome and enjoy!

Mitch might be the reincarnation of Freddie Mercury. Freddie died in November 1991 and Mitch was born in July 1992. He can also grow the Freddie mustache. It is so close to matching it is kinda creepy. 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!

They do another improbable thing - EDM! They did a complicated medley of Daft Punk songs called Daft Punk and an original song called Love Again. I can't think of any other metal. Metal songs are a huge investment in arrangement and training time for them. They do some old rock songs like Sound Of Silence and Imagine. Also somewhat newer ones such as Radioactive. Pop is their sweet spot because of their voice mix : Havana, Say Something, Shallow, Cheerleader, Hallelujah and Perfect. Most of their originals are in the pop realm. Their baritone (Scott, tall blond) can also sing tenor and some bass. Their bass, Avi, sings really low with very accurate pitch and can sing some low tenor also. Their mezzo soprano, Kirstin, has a killer belt range (think Disney princess songs) and has some really high range for a mezzo. Mitch is just scary. He has a good low tenor along with that clean balanced high range. Their beatboxer, Kevin, sings occasionally in tenor or high tenor when they can spare his drums. He has another surprise that you can find in Radioactive, Papaoutai, Shallow, Perfect and Say Something.

Every song they do they pick the member's voice that best fits the arrangement. They don't let their egos get in the way. The music comes first with them always. They know that if it sounds great they all get credit. The Sing Off, the acapella music competition they won ran for four seasons. They won season three. Out of the four winners their group was the only one that had a female. This is, in my opinion, the best remake of that song.
@super_siri
@super_siri Год назад
Prior to 12 days of Christmas (which is probably now their most difficult song musically since every verse is ever so slightly different), Scott (tall blonde baritone) has said this is his most difficult song to sing correctly. All because of that middle section, where he's sitting in the middle of the couch, but he's singing for both sides of the argument going on around him. This is one of my overall favorite songs in existence, both Queen's version and Pentatonix's version. And Avi (bearded Bass) and Kevin (beatboxer) were aptly named Meat and Potatoes when they were in the competition they won (Season 3 of The Sing Off), and they are both 1000% amazing, and they were amazing at working together to hold down better bass/beat lines. Matt and Kevin do a really good job too, but there was something special about Avi and Kevin (probably that Avi can sing multiple notes at one time).

I get it, givers often all feel that way... I get it! The Pentaholics will find you... and you'll be inundated with info and song suggestions. May be interested in checking out their covers of: Imagine Sound of Silence The evolution of Michael Jackson Hallelujah (my First and ultimate fav) The Prayer And a quick FYI, they OWN Christmas! O, Come all ye Faithful (NOT the traditional hymn sound) Mr Grinch (with the new Bass) My Favorite Things Over the River Then there are their originals. Good luck when the true Pentaholics show up... Imma keep watching... Pssssst.. you do deserve joy, but I know I have the same issue... never feeling you deserve it... because we feel we need to be that for others... Blessings touch you and the Mrs!

I totally relate to a wife supporting her hubby like this - it brings happiness to her, too, so accept it as well as you can 😊 So glad you enjoyed this - they are a remarkable group. Just scroll through their channel and pick something you’ll like - there will be more than you expect! Their originals are just as good, but you’ll seek those out after you appreciate some covers ;-)

i hear you about getting things/being the center of attention. still, it is good for you to practice it even if it is uncomfortable. let it happen. that was a lovely thing your wife did. you must be worth it. great reaction. pentatonix picks who sings whatever line/word by whoever is best for it;; its all about the vocals. they do 'imagine' and 'mad world' and a daft pumk medley or 'radioactive'. they sing all genres of music, plus original music, plue other languages..

Yes please check out more Pentatonix. They have covers from John Lennon, Simon and Garfunkel, Imagine Dragons, Daft Punk, Macklemore, and so many more. They also did a Wizard of Oz mash up of songs. I can't explain it, you have to see it. On top of that, their Christmas albums are the best! They don't have a bad song. Take your pick and you will be amazed.

Yay Mrs Viking. Actually Brian May has a link to this cover on his social media site with the one word caption. Enjoy. First time viewer and an instant subscriber.

Best recommendation... look through their covers... and try the songs you like and know... regardless of style and see what they did with it... thats what they do... from Cohens hallelujah, to Lennons imagine they always put their influence on it... enjoy the trip... and trust me you will

The little guy singing lead, is Mitch & people are shocked at his voice & it is known as being 'Mitch slapped' when your jaw drops. The black guy is Kevin & rarely sings, because he beat boxes & pounds his chest etc. to serve as their percussionist. The guy with the beard is Avi & he left the group to go solo & a new guy named Matt joined the group. Kirstin is the gal & Scott is the tall blonde guy. They have a zillion great songs & they do these cool medley things that will blow your mind. I love their versions of 'Sound of silence', 'Hallelujah' & 'Mary did you know'. These people are frigging amazingly talented. The 3 on the couch at the end, Kirstin, Scott & MItch have been singing together since they went to college together.

The megaphone is just a prop not an actual effect. I have seen them do this song live without the megaphone and the sound Mitch creates is the same and AMAZING! To see & hear Mitch at his best listen to "AHA" live from Singapore. It, and the lead up choral arrangement, will blow your mind. Welcome down the PTX rabbit hole.

The megaphone is a prop and Mitch doesn't use it during live concerts. The shot of the night sky is a tribute to Queen guitarist and astrophysicist, Dr Brian May, and of course 4 shooting stars, one for every member of Queen.

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 the live performances. the voice you hear when they're looking at the stars is the same voice Mitch uses with the megaphone . The shot at the sky is homage to Brian May. Brian May was so impressed with the video that he posted it on all of his social media sites. The part where Mitch is lying down on the couch and Kevin and Avi are walking beside it are to represent the pallbearers carrying Freddie's coffin . The shot at the end when they're looking up at the sky always puzzled me because there are four 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. Rhapsody , please double check your pronunciation, refers to a song in several movements usually of an emotional nature and that is exactly what Bohemian Rhapsody is . Part of the reason it is the all-time best rock and roll song is there is not anything that is repeated in the song . That and it was conceived by the greatest rock and roll mind of all time Imo . The moving couch pays homage to how they started. They worked on this song for five or six years to get it where it is right now. This is a link to a live version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it was filmed off of somebody's phone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C1PelJIxHTQ.html There should be a video of them doing Bohemian Rhapsody from September 29th at the Hollywood Bowl. Check out PTX official or tea time with Travis and it'll be on either one of those

The megaphone is a prop and nothing more. The live version has him do the same electric guitar without benefit of the megaphone, and there is no difference. Kevin is also giving you a complete drum kit. Avi is also giving you a bass guitar and wind machine like a synthesizer.

After Pentatonix won _The Sing-Off_ in 2011, with the prize of $200,000 and a recording contract, they all moved to southern California to begin their recording career. And a week after they won the contract, the company reneged on the deal, saying that they didn't know how to market an a cappella band. But Pentatonix wasn't willing to give up on their dream, so they set about making it come true. They still had the $200,000, so they used it as seed money. They shared apartments and lived frugally. And they used their iPhones to record themselves, anywhere they could find decent acoustics (parking garages, stairwells, closets...) and posted their videos to RU-vid, where they began to build up a following. Most of those early videos show five very young people on a couch, the trio (Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott) sitting on the back of the couch with Kevin and Avi in front of them, all singing their hearts out. *This* couch had to be motorized so it could take them on a trip down Memory Lane. As for the megaphone, Mitch saw it lying on the set and thought it would make a cool prop, and it's been confusing people ever since. It was turned off. Those guitar solos are all Mitch. They chose Mitch to be the main lead because his voice is right for it; any physical resemblance to Freddie Mercury is just icing on the cake. Pentatonix *always* treats songs and the artists who originally sang those songs with the utmost respect. When they upgrade a song they do so by finding a way to somehow make it more itself. But for them, "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Queen are special. They wanted to cover "Bohemian Rhapsody" from the time they first began as a band, but they were afraid that they couldn't do justice to it, so they decided to wait until they thought they were ready. That took five years, but it was worth the wait. They were ready. The starry night sky during Mitch's second guitar solo is in honor of Brian May, who has a doctorate in astrophysics. The four shooting stars are for the four members of Queen. And when the camera pans down from the sky to show the five of them sprawled on the couch, that picture is meant to pay tribute to the cover art for Queen's _Sheer Heart Attack_ album. As I said, Queen is special to them. When this video came out, Brian May posted a link to it on all his social media accounts, with a single word comment: "Enjoy."

I would guess that Pentatonix falls into the "good a cappella" that you mentioned. Certainly from the standpoint of critical and commercial success - 3 Grammy wins (nominated for a 4th this year but didn't win), multiple gold and platinum selling albums, and they'll be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year.
