Music Producer Reacts To Pentatonix - Bohemian Rhapsody (Official Video) 

Brian May was so impressed with their version that he put a link to it on social media saying “Enjoy”.

Once you start reacting to Kevin Olusola's solo work, you will then see the GENIUS that he really is😍

I remember a quote from when this was released: “How will we handle the guitar solo? Mitch: hold my beer”

Yes, Scott was doubling up on the bass in the middle section with Avi. If you want to be blown away by Scott's lower register, I recommend The Prayer. It has some great Mitch slap moments in it too.

Mitch is both Freddie Mercury AND Brian May in this performance. Mitch's vocal talents are outstanding.

Mitch is a brilliant mimic as well as an incredible 6 octave range singing. So he does this without a megaphone 🤯🤯 they all are so talented If you want to,see them behind the scenes they have a you tube video,about “making Evergreen “. Which was Last years Christmas album Its a fun thing to play as it won’t get blocked and you see how they work together and record.

One thing you noticed that many reactors miss is that they lift up whoever happens to have the lead without trying to outshine them, but rather lift them up. Their background vocals are so well placed, and without ego. They put the song first. Always.

You really need to watch the produced version of their music then watch a live version just to compare and see how close they actually are. They are amazing! One of their chief goals is to be able to sound the same on tour as they sound in the studio. You mentioned Kevin and Avi's years of working together as their reason for melding so well...au contraire! You need to go watch Season 3 of The Sing Off...singing competition which they won. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie were friends and brought Avi in shortly before entering the competition. Kevin met the group the DAY BEFORE THE AUDITION. Kevin and Avi were often referred to as "Meat and Potatoes" throughout the competition because they melded so well...it wasn't the years, it was just serendipity. And...Kevin did sing the last line.

They perform this live, Mitch does not use a megaphone. It’s a prop for the video.

Avi have a gorgeous voice, all through his (very impressive) range but during his time in Pentatonix he was so focused on the bass he didn’t really practice much else with his voice. If you listen to his solo music, where he utilizes his whole range, he will blow your mind.

Pentatonix loves "Bohemian Rhapsody," and they love Queen. They've always wanted to do a cover of this song, but they were afraid that they couldn't do it justice, so they waited until they thought they were ready - this is part of what I'm referring to when I say that Pentatonix always treats the song and the original artist with utmost respect. It took Pentatonix *five years* to decide they were ready, after which came arranging, choreographing, figuring out how to motorize a couch, rehearsals, and whatever else was necessary in preparation - you know more about that side of it than I do. That took several more months, perhaps as long as a year, going by the dates. I'd say it was worth the wait. __________________________________ The starry night sky is a tribute to Brian May, who has a doctorate in astrophysics. The four shooting stars are for the four members of Queen. The five of them lying on the couch near the end is a reference to the cover art of Queen's _Sheer Heart Attack_ album. And I hope that you will never again fear that PTX will ruin a cover through hubris. That's one fault that they don't possess.

Scott doesn't get enough credit for the Bismallah (???) Section. He sings the bass part with Avi, jumps up for the higher section with Kirsty and Kevin, and keeps swapping parts/octaves. He has said he found that terribly demanding. High note was Mitch. It you want to see him stretched watch the concert video of him in Aha! Singapore. Avi is also awesome in it. A phone recording though so not the best audio.

Avi is a ‘basso profundo’ which is a range lower than ‘bass’. It’s a rare voice type.

They start out with no bass, partly for effect, since it's so impressive when Avi joins in later, and partly because Queen had no bass singer, so they were keeping as close as possible to the original intro. Also, that panning is an homage to Queen, since they did that, too, in their recording. Yes, Kevin and Avi were a remarkable team. They lived together from the early days and practiced supporting each other through the bass lines, percussion and sound effects. Since Queen had no bass singer, most of Avi's singing parts are PTX add-ons. I'm so loving your reactions! You're picking up on so many of the things that we love about the group, including how well they work together and share the spotlight, highlighting each member's strengths. We also love their creativity and ingenuity in the arranging and videography. Imo, the longer the video, the better, especially when you rewind and go over a part that you really liked, or to share a technical note with us. We like to learn, too! 🙂

Yeah so Mitch doesn't even need the mega phone. He does that live in concert without it. Just props to show you he can do it, lol. So happy to witness your journey through this, glad I subbed! ❤

Here is the link to Bohemian Rhapsody that was on the Hollywood Bowl live with Matt as the bass singer. You will be so happy to hear this live. Mitch doesn't need a megaphone to make the guitar sounds he makes on his own. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nMFPsouaum0.html

Avi trained as an opera singer, as a basso profundo, which is where the deep rich bass comes from. He got some tips from Tim Faust (the bass singer for Home Free-who won the 4th season of the sing-off), whose range is a bit bigger. Tim can reach lower notes than Avi. If you enjoy a capella, check them out, too. Avi was in a couple of their music vids, too. Oh, you want to see two real basses sing together, watch Home Free’s video for Ring of Fire, featuring Avi. I love both these groups but I really like watching people discovering PTX for the first time.

You would probably really enjoy listening to their original Sing Off performances. They were live and raw, and their talent was undeniable.

The panning effect in the beginning is an homage to the original Queen recording. That effect was on the Queen record.

Also, for Mitch-slap highs, Come Along, Can You Feel the Love Tonight?, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Grammy winner) and God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman to name a few.

We Pentaholics don't want to scare off new reactors until they have a feel for PTX, but I think you are at the point where "The Beginners Guide to Pentatonix" would not be overkill. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lDxIfwfCmQE.html . This goes through each member in turn with some snips of them doing the solo. It then covers some of the history of the group - it is a couple of yesrs old now, so no modern stuff. It does show how many songs you still have to react to! Also worth a look is the "Recording of Evergreen" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M60SKKkQLqo.html which is a very recent album. Due to schedules they had 2 weeks to arrange and record the whole album. A camera was invited in for the second week. You get to see some of the creative process!! Absolute GOLD!

Gold needs to be the next stop on your PTX journey.

Mitch has a talent of being able to match his voice to the original artist. One thing I do want to say that when other people react to them a lot of them constantly compare Avi and Matt. It drives me nuts. So when Avi is on, talk about him. When Matt is on, pretend Avi wasn't there. It isn't fair to Matt or their new music. You're doing great so far. And yes, Mitch was doing the guitar with his voice. The megaphone was a prop. He does it later without it. Did anyone mention Brian May posted it on his Twitter and loved it? Or that it took ptx 5 years to get this done how they wanted?

They took a long time to get the arrangement and execution right because it is such and important song. This is them not rushing it to market, but fixing it, thinking about it and fixing it some more.

Dude, when I saw them at one point they put down their mics and their voices still filled the arena. I was in the nosebleeds and they were crystal clear. And Avi’s bass notes were a full body experience *with* mics.

Tim Foust and Geoff Castellucci also blow out speakers, both with 5+ octave range. Check out Geoff s cover of Sixteen Tons. He is a member of Voice Play. Tim also has his own stuff. Tim is part of Home Free. Watch Kevin's KOver of Down on his channel he actually creates the whole thing right in front of you. Everything PTX and Home Free does is totally awesome. Avi is featured with Home Free on Ring of Fire.

11:05 the effects are only Mitch's own voice, heck the megaphone is only being used as a prop. he isnt really using it, just holding it in his hand for visual appeal.

If you think you may still have trouble remembering Kevin's name at times, go to Kevin's solo channel (KO) & watch his cover of Down by Marion Hill, you will never, ever, ever forget his name!!! Lol!!! This will blow your mind & introduce you to his level of super-multi-talent!!

21 minutes, it’s Pentatonix. We all have watched them without number. I keep learning something new every time.

One more thing...you asked about the engineering of their music. For years, a lot of it has been by Ben Bram, their principle arranger and producer, and the final mixing done by Mixing Maven, Ed Boyer

You can see them perform this song live on their recent Hollywood Bowl performance where Mitch does the guitar solo with just his voice and a microphone. Also as someone else suggested watch their Making of Evergreen video to see how their songs are put together and how well they work together.

That was Kevin at the end.

I would not go so far as to say that this one is better than the original, as Freddie & Queen are iconic performing this song. What I will say is that the vast majority of PTX's covers are definitely "upgrades" that are, indeed, better than the originals. I am enjoying your enthusiastic journey down the ginormous PTX rabbit hole. In my mind, Pentatonix is the most talented musical group performing today.

If you really want to hear Avi on his own, try Change On The Rise on Avi Kaplan's channel. He does all the voices and there is minimal instrumentation.

What drew my attention is that Pentatonix did the entire song. Queen left the stage for the pre-recorded "opera" section when they performed live because they did not want to "fake" anything.

PTX decided to do this one, then waited 5 years before they felt comfortable enough to actually put this together. This shows how dedicated they are to be as perfect as posible. They were worried about the guitar solos until Mitch said he could do it, just get me a megaphone and "I've got this".

Mitch does that high note by himself. I know someone else said that Kevin sings the last line, he does but I think it is harmony. Some songs they do, each member slides back and forth from lead to harmony so seamlessly it is mind boggling. Mich's high notes are always amazing, but it is thr richness and smoothness of his midrange that melts my heart. So much good stuff to look forward to.

Remember. They do this live. It’s not all just on tracks. Also research their history. Mitch, Kirstie and Scott met in grade school and began to sing together there. They won The Sing Off after just meeting Avi and Kevin a few days before the show started. Now, go look up Avi Kaplin’s Chang on the Rise. It will blow your mind!!!!

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 is 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. The moving couch pays homage to how they started. They worked on this song for 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 At their concert on the Hollywood Bowl on September 29th they do Bohemian Rhapsody and their is video of that performance. I don't know if anyone's mentioned it but on December 2nd Pentatonix will be lied streaming a concert and I'm pretty sure it's their Christmas album for this year on Disney+

When the group was competing in the Sing Off ( in 2011, I think it was) Sean Stockman , one of the judges, nicknamed Avi and Kevin ..Meat and Potatoes ...the staple of many good things. The part where they are doing the call and answer "Bismilla we will not let you go" Scott is doing all parts with both Avi and Mitch ( the low voices) and with Kevin and Kirstie doing the high. It took the group 5 years working together before they felt confident enough to do the video. There are two tributes to Queen within the video. The four shooting stars representative of Queens 4 members and to Dr Brian May, lead guitar and astrophysicist who has a comet named after him. And the sprawl on the couch just after the shooting stars is done to imitate the cover of Queen's album Sheer Heart Attack.

the megaphone is just a prop, live he doesn't use it. Absolutely amazing

That high note on the third 'me' following Kirstin actually was Mitch on his own. Focus on him if you re-watch that part and it's quite clear, and if you close your eyes and listen, it's definitely his voice - it's 'thinner' than Kirstin's.

There’s a behind the scenes of the making of this video. It’s worth a watch!

I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but Mitch doesn't actually need the megaphone for the electric guitar solo. It's literally just a prop. I've seen him do it, live in concert. It's fricking insane. Love these guys.

There are just so many songs to request, but I think you need to do an original like Love Again, a mash-up like New RulesxAre You That Somebody and an excellent live medley like 90’s Dance Medley from the Hollywood Bowl (posted by Miles Reuben for best quality). I would also love for you to hear Mitch do a solo cover of Your Power. For a Christmas song, Mary Did You Know is an epic classic of theirs. Please. 🙏🏻💜

You need to check out Avi's solo stuff especially "Change on the Rise"

On the "Bismillah" argument, Scott is singing both the low part with Avi (and I'm not sure *how* Mitch ended up on that side) and the high part with Kirstin and Kevin. Since the low side is singing separately from the high side he can do that. Remember, Scott is a baritone. His range extends into the bass, but he isn't a true bass like Avi or Matt. His range also extends into the tenor though he isn't a true tenor. But this means that in a situation like this he can sing along with a bass, and then instantly switch and sing along with a soprano. And because there are only 5 members of Pentatonix they need every available voice singing along when they're after volume, as they are here. As for all of your "How do they *do* that?!" questions, most of the time the best answer you're going to get is *_"I_* don't know; I don't have that kind of talent either."

What is so awesome about their performances is that you could watch it 1000 times and it never gets old. Plus you recognize new things you missed the prior time/times. It's like constant treats 😁 The fact that people will question the possibility of what they're hearing, no matter how many times you hear them. They are simply THAT amazing! Live performances prove how good they are.

They've said a couple of interesting things in interviews. First off, they call themselves a band. And they have mentioned that it's surprisingly easy for them to arrange these upgrades and their originals because they know each other so well.

One of the smaller details that I love of this video is the couch. It represents where they started -- in their living rooms recording on the couch.

I seem to recall a behind the scenes talking about how the megaphone is just a prop and the guitar solo is his voice alone.

Please please pleaseeeee do their cover of Imagine!! It will lift your soul out of your body lol no joke!! And yes, Mitch does that guitar solo live without the megaphone..it's just a prop for show

Please put Popspring Performance 2016. On your list. You get to hear three orginal songs and The evolution of Michael Jackson. Its live and so much fun. Really liking your reactions. :)

Between these guys, Home Free, and Voice Play, each has their niche and they are all awesome.

There is a " making of" video of this you should watch. You'll be surprised where they shot the video. Glad you're enjoying this as much as we are! 😁

The best song they've ever done is whichever one you're listening to at the moment. The most amazing singer of them is whoever has the lead at the moment. They're all just stunning.

So, some things to know about this cover and video: -It took PTX years to get the arrangement to where they felt they could do the original masterpiece justice. -The cover, and especially the video, was meant to be an homage to Queen. Some of the moments paying respect were: The mono-recording of the line "easy come, easy go" followed by the panning of the voices from left to right on the line "little high, little low" (which is how the original was recorded), obviously the flashlights being used to mimic the lighting on the operatic part of the original video, the four shooting stars to represent the four members of Queen, as well as acknowledge the fact that Dr. Brian May is an astrophysicist, and the overhead shot of them lying on the couch is to represent the Sheer Heart Attack album cover. -The megaphone was just a prop. It is not needed to reproduce the electric guitar distortion. -PTX can, and does, perform this live with no backing track...something even Queen and the Great Freddie Mercury could not do. -Freddy once said he didn't care what people did with his music as long as they "...don't make it boring, darling!", so I think he would absolutely approve. -The overall video--with the "living room" and couch--is an homage to Pentatonix's own journey as a group. They lost their record deal right after winning the Sing Off and moving to LA, so they started putting out videos on RU-vid, performing covers. They would sit on the couch in Kevin (beatboxer) and Avi's (bass) living room and just record themselves on Mitch's (counter tenor who took the lead on this song) iPad. Some of their earliest videos went viral and they eventually were able to secure a new deal, record an EP, go on tour, release chart-topping albums and win three Grammy awards...so they moved out of the living room and down this new, unknown road. At the end of the day, though, they're still the same choir-nerds they've always been; just happy to sit together on a couch and sing. Also brian mays of queen post this video upon hearing this with the word...:ENJOY"

As others have mentioned, Avi is a basso profundo, trained to that as an opera and classical voice major in college, and was offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera about the same time he was asked to join PTX for The Sing Off in 2011. That training gave him the ability to be strong, clear and flexible in those low, low ranges (check out his collaboration with Peter Hollens, "Black is the Color" for his awesome solo), as well as the training to expand his vocal range in octaves (he's got a reputation for his clean 2-octave drops, for example). He's said that when his voice changed at around 14, it affected his speaking voice so much, he had to learn to raise his pitch when talking so that people could understand him. (If you want to hear what his normal speaking voice sounds like, check out the opening of his cover of "House of the Rising Sun" from his August 2019 show in Dallas. His voice in the intro is his normal speaking voice, and you could feel it in your chest if you were in the audience, as you could when he hit those super low notes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hk_Mh4SweXQ.html

Avi's talent is really apparent in Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy

you have even better appreciation for what they do when you watch some of their live stuff and see how tight and amazing they still are without engineering

Great reaction. Normally I would say to wait for the live performance of Aha at the Star Vista, Singapore. But I think it would be good to check out as it would show how good they are live, as well as a great Avi bass, and how high Mitch can get. If you do check it out be aware that Kevin is indeed there, just not on camera. Everyone always asks where he is. :)

There are so many good recommendations, but I honestly believe Aha, Singapore should be your next song. It is a live performance shot on someone’s camera phone. First, you get to see a live song. Second it is shot on a phone which means the phone can’t handle all the sounds but that just adds to their awesomeness. Third, you see Mitch go off in a way you will definitely not hear in a recording. Forth, Avi blows a speaker. Fifth, just because everyone asks, Kevin is putting his cello away so you don’t see him but he does come back to the song (every reactor asks where’s Kevin). It’s different then what you are watching but is also one of the pinnacle experiences on video.

Nope, that last line *was* Kevin. You were right the first time. :) He can sing too! (When you get into the Christmas songs, grab "Mary Did You Know?" He's in there, singing.)

The coordination to do this is maddening to process

The megaphone was just a prop. He did it live with no megaphone!! ❤

Brian May from Queen even put a link to this on social media and said "Enjoy". No higher compliment. PTX is being rewarded for all their hard work in 2023 with a star on the Walk of Fame. They are great. I also love their version of "Imagine" by John Lennon.

It’s his voice through a normal megaphone. Every PTX song is great, you can’t find fault with any of there songs. 😂❤😂❤

The megaphone is only for effect. He does it live in concert without the megaphone and it is perfect every time.

As to how good this is, Brian May (Queen's guitarist) posted a link to the video on his Facebook with one word: "Enjoy." The starry sky is a further homage to DOCTOR Brian May, who earned his degree in astrophysics. If you REALLY want to see how good they are, look for the 2022 Hollywood Bowl Performance videos. Done live before a live audience. Only live on-stage mixing, very little of the "studio" rebalancing - and still stunning.

I don't pretend to understand how any of them do what they do. With regard to Avi's lowest notes I can only tell you that he's a true basso profundo, and has been operatically trained, but what that means from inside, I have no idea since I'm neither. I've also never understood how beatboxing works, except for the most obvious parts of it. The only thing I can say about Kevin's beatboxing is that it's the best I've ever heard. Oh, yes. And this is one of the videos where you can sometimes almost see the invisible drum kit he carries around with him. *Watch him* (when you can tear your eyes off Mitch, or Avi, or Kirstin, or Scott). He knows exactly where each of his invisible instruments is. He's hitting them with an invisible drum stick, even as we hear the instrument sound. We know the sound is coming directly from Kevin, from his mouth and his body, but we *feel* like it's coming from that invisible drum he just hit with the invisible drum stick. And that ability to let you see something that you *know* isn't there is a very rare talent indeed.

This song is an example of a performance that you just can’t choose between it and the original. What makes the song a classic is on full display in this cover, difference is that PTX uses voice to take the role of the instruments. I think it’s harder to arrange a production like this, but as a Queen fan I’m torn as are others. What I don’t understand is the more than 100,000 dislikes, I’m sure it has to do with the video itself. Maybe they think that PTX should have just walked in, stood still and played it deadpan. The way I remember it, we sat on our couch in the living room or garage and belted out this song at the top of our lungs. I’m sure it looked a lot like this. I just wish it could have sounded this good

If you want a big Mitch slap then watch the prayer - angelic voice is all I can say! Also Aha in Singapore Amazing!

The official Pentaholics position is that Mitch is an alien. Check out Carol of the Bells where he seemingly doesn't breathe for half the song.

His voice... Watch live, Mitch is the master of all things awesome!

Watch their live performance of this at their September 2022 concert at the Hollywood Bowl. I guarantee you will be speechless!

A number of people who react to Pentatonix check out their videos from the Sing-off. That's where they got their start.

I hesitate to admit it, but I weirdly burst into tears the first time I saw this because it was so good.

Pentatonix performed this live at the Hollywood Bowl just over a month ago. It was livestreamed and somoene has been uploading a lot of their performances from that night. Here's a link to the Bohemian Rhapsody performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nMFPsouaum0.html

I am a huge Queen fan, they are my most favorite band ever, I listen to them at least once a day. PTX did such a great job on this. I have listened to this song so many times from Queen and they put in everything on this, the panning effects were there in the original from Queen version as well. When you think about it they were perfect for this song, Queen was known for their harmonies as well. And no, Mitch does those guitar parts live without the megaphone? 👍🏻 They really honored Queen with this, IMO. Thank you for your reaction! T ❤️

Since you produce music, I highly recommend their video The Making of Evergreen. It documents how they put together their Christmas album in 2021.

In the Pentatonix original "Sing" (fun song, you should check it out), Kevin raps "I'm the human 808." He's not wrong! In a song like this, PTX has to voice melodies and harmonies that were instruments in the original. Sometimes they just do it as la la la, duh duh duh, but sometimes they turn it into lyrics that echo other parts of the song, as when Avi sings "Any way the wind blows" there in the middle. of another verse. ETA: Yes, Scott is singing both "sides" of the "Let him go!" part. He says that if he sings his part by himself, he sounds like a lunatic having a conversation with himself!

They sung this live in September at their Hollywood Bowl concert. There are RU-vid videos of it if you want to check it out.

Scott always wants their videos set in a way that when they do the live version it the same they can repeat it as close as possible. Also you might want to check out their 90s Dance Medaly. This will really show case Kevin's b'boxing. Great reation😊

You should react to one of their live recordings now. Videos like their 'Evolution of Michael Jackson' and 'Gold' are live studio recordings, or they have a live Christmas performance of 'Hallelujah' that is very good.

Some songs where you can hear Kevin sing more--besides his solo stuff which is amazing--are Mary Did You Know, Imagine, and Amazing Grace. Kevin also does some incredible throat beatboxing in their original song Love Again, an EDM style masterpiece (but I've read this technique hurt his throat so he doesn't do it on any other songs that I know of).

I think it's time for you to react to "down", a cover of Marion Hill by Kevin (last name Olusola). He's insane. Also do Change on the rise & other side, both by Avi

You should look for the video where Scott and Mitch are answering questions by writing with Sharpies on poster board, and the markers squeak, and Mitch utterly imitates the sounds they make right after. His an amazing mimic.

If you're enjoying the Pentatonix rabbit hole you should check out the rest of the Acapella trifecta with Home Free and Voiceplay.

As to Avi (and Matt) and their ability to sing low - that is mostly determined by anatomy, by how your neck and throat and lungs and head are put together. Training can help you use that part of your range a bit better, but training can't really expand your vocal range lower than your anatomy allows. (Until we start talking sub-harmonics, but these guys aren't using that technique.) Training can help you sing higher, but not lower. So far, I haven't heard you react to anything that's really low. What these men have is a beautiful tone in their lower range. And that is what training can do for you. (A good sound engineer helps a bit, too. But they can only do so much.)

Kevin is actually offering lessons on his Tiktok channel. He speaks multiple languages, is an amazing cello player and his solo work is impeccable. I recommend a reaction to Down by Kevin Olusula.

Yes Chris, Mitch has many more songs where he can go higher. His voice spans 6 octaves and a vocal range of A1 - B7. I wont tell you what songs...it's so much fun watching you get Mitch slapped. There is a video of how Pentatonix filmed Bohemian Rhapsody. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q8ugJnIG_Lk.html or search "[Behind the Scenes] - Bohemian Rhapsody - Pentatonix". When PTX does Bohemian Rhapsody live, Mitch performs the guitar section without the megaphone.

As a producer, I think you might enjoy doing a reaction to last year's Christmas album "The Recording of Evergreen." Great way to see how they work together to create the magic.

Idk if you've already been told this in the comments, but Pentatonix rose to fame thru their time on the talent show "The Song Off". They were amazing from the beginning! 😍 if you want to see a great live performance, watch them perform "Dog Days Are Over" on The Sing Off! That was my very first Mitch Slap! Lol

I'm unsure if you missed it but that high note at the end of "for me, for me, for meeee" was 100% Mitch. Also the "Any way the wind blows" at the end *was* Kevin! :D He's got a lovely voice when he gets to sing.

Avi is opera trained, but yes, his bass is the most comfortable. If you see live versions of this, Mitch DOES THAT WITH HIS VOICE!!! No megaphone needed...If you see some stuff live....there isn't layering. It's ALL THEM!! You are down a rabbit hole that you will love! Buckle in and enjoy the ride!!🎢

The headphone(panning) thing is actually in the original recording by Freddy Mercury. It was done when stereo was new, before pretty much everything was recorded mono-phonically.

They apparently added some distortion on the studio version. They either add distortion live in concert or do without. No megaphone usually.

Don’t worry, Mitch makes us ALL feel things!!!❤

2:14 "Oh boy. This is going to be hard. This is going to be like the ultimate Mitch-slap for me." And I think, "You have no idea! And you also have no idea how much you're going to like it."

Ha ha: here are recomandations for the best mitchslap videos: - Aha live Singapoore (imogen heap cover) - problem - can you feel the love tonight - come along - your power (solo project) - first noel Ands so many more but this will do i think 😉 have fun!
