You have to appreciate this was released 45 years ago. No social media, no auto tune, nothing but themselves to promote themselves and it was the first real rock opera heard from a band essentially classed as a pop band. the video was one nobody had seen before the basic effects today were ground breaking at the time.
Number one rule: When listening to Queen head phones please. You are missing out there is special surprises especially on studio versions. You two are so cute looking at each other haha. Everyone needs to grow up knowing Queen and Dimash in my humble opinion 😍
What are headphones gonna do? Get some decent speakers and FEEL a real performance in real space. An audio engineer of 40 years. If I see someone say 'headphones' again I'm going on a murder spree. When you discover real speakers even the finest headphones will stay in their box. EDIT Aaaaaaaaaaaarghhh WHY?
@@martinda7446 Good set of speakers are great and you can enjoy the music. But for Queen songs especially they always tried to make studio versions different. If your speakers can bounce the sound from the left ear to the right ear and even feel it circling your head by all means use them. If they don’t you will miss out it really is a different experience.
"It was cool." Uh, when this came out, I was only a year or two older than she is, and when I heard this for the first time, my jaw *dropped!* Every time it came on the radio after that, I begged my mom to turn it up!! To be fair though, I wasn't in front of a camera when I heard "Bo Rap" for the first time, so my reaction could be genuinely full of excitement. This girl is only 13, and might be shy about being in front of a camera. Big brother might have done well to ask her a few leading questions about the song, to draw her out so that she could share her thoughts and impressions more easily. It's far easier to respond to a direct question than to be presented with, "so, what did you think," when you're nervous and just want this filming thing to be over. :)
since I'm late for the show and didn't read the comments before posting my own comment, I'm 100% on your side. I think reaction videos are a valuable thing, IF there is a reaction and some thoughts are verbalized. videos like these are the reason, why react videos have a bad reputation. I don't blame the girl (who's worried more about her hair than the video, but being in her age is difficult on its own), but damn.
It's slightly strange that people don't seem to mention that the video for this song (filmed for the princely sum of £8000 apparently) was, essentially, the first of the music videos. All the more remarkable as it predated the MTV generation. It was made due to necessity - they needed to go on tour (indeed the "live" scenes were filmed on their practice set). They couldn't have known that it would then go on to stay at number 1 in the UK charts for 9 weeks but if they hadn't made the video they would have had to appear on the key television music show of the time "Top of the Pops". This involved "live" acts (actually they were generally miming to their hit song) and any group at number 1 would be expected to appear in the BBC studios which would have made touring very difficult to say the least and they couldn't not appear if asked (even if not number 1) because the BBC could make or break a career - they controlled Top of the Pops and Radio 1 the most listened to station for young (record buying) people. Saying no to the BBC was not an option for any band. Queen rather brilliantly squared the circle by creating this video - so they could go on tour, but still appear if needed (as it very much was) on Top of the Pops. The resultant video is pretty good imo if you can ignore the doubtful 70s fashion! I remember watching this as a boy of 8 in '74 and believe me, those were state of the art special effects!
She had that look on her face that I had the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody. "What the heck is this?" After listening to it a few times I stopped trying to analyse it and started enjoying it and realised that Queen were absolute masters of their art. A lot of the songs you hear day to day, especially at sporting events, are theirs. Usually you only see something like this once in a lifetime but we were blessed in the 70's and 80's with a lot of amazingly talented people bursting onto the scene. I doubt those times will be repeated. I guess we should be thankful that we have good quality recordings so we can relive those moments.
I was born in 1958. I have been lucky enough to experience the best of every genre. I feel blessed. “Kids today”🙄just aren’t exposed to good music like we have been.
Loved seeing Sabrina's cute reaction and facial expressions. Smart introducing your sister to great music where real talent makes great music. Hope you do more reactions with your sister.
FYI , the Lead guitar is Doctor Brian May, an astrophysicist. Brian May was attending University in England when the Band Queen happened so he put his degree on hold to pursue music and went back to it over the years and wrote his thesis on Space dust.
Steve, you're a good big brother for introducing your little sis to some great music. I saw Queen in concert in The Bay Area, twice in the 80s. Both great shows.
@@syouanis I suggest to react to White Queen live at the Rainbow 1974 as well. This version Is even better than the one at the Hammersmith ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b32q1jvfXaI.html
You die two times 1. When your take your last breath 2. When your name is said for the last time Lets keep freddie mercury alive Edited as some people are too soft to understand
@@Yesytsucks people's hearts stop beating all the time. it's not good, but it's not death. you are not declared dead simply because your heart has stopped beating.

@@martinda7446 Well... I have these really nice noise cancelling Vankyo Bluetooth headphones and there's this RU-vidr who does 8D audio stuff really well. 😳 👉👈 They made an 8D version of the Live Aid concert and if you turn up the volume to about 4 below max volume with my headphones and close your eyes, it's almost like you're actually there.😌 Edit: While I agree on amazing speakers being better, in a lot of cases, a great pair of heafphones, such as mine, and some 8D or 24D audio will also suffice.🤷😅
@@nerdymusicianfangirl7024 There are some great reasons for headphone performing very well and they do offer a taste of good audio for little money.. they can use small precision drivers which can do a lot of things really well. A single full range drive unit, which is close to the ideal, light weight to instantly react to transients and extend response, easy to drive, easy on neighbours. Cheaper to make a fine headphone than a speaker and a budget set of headphones might be better than budget speakers for sure in many performance aspects they are close to perfect etc..But I have had the finest headphones in the world sitting in a box - and they stay in a box because even if they do some things extremely well they are incapable of some things which are important in communicating a performance to the listener. I am not an audiophile pseudoscientist, there are perfectly good reasons why one can't possibly match the other. They are wonderful to use outside and on the bike etc. I loved that..blah blah you know what I mean. If you are buying headphones for your phone or whatever, the most pertinent specification is the sensitivity. Generally with cheaper headphones for portable use look for the highest sensitivity you can find. If there is a 90db/mW and a 106db/mW set the difference is like going from a 20W amp to an 800W amp. Apart from sound pressure levels the more sensitive driver is usually of much higher quality and allows the often crappy phone amps to have a much easier time, it pays all round and often sounds ten times better.
@@martinda7446 I totally agree there is nothing better than listening to Rock through a good sound system but unfortunatly most of the vlogers wouldn't or couldn't afford a proper sound system that would do the songs justice. or am I wrong.
The non-verbal communication between you and sis suggests a strong bond. That's a blessing, and one that you'll cherish and appreciate even more with the passing of the years. Thanks for the upload.
yeah, but isn't REACTING to songs on youtube the point of reaction videos? 'cause there's basically no reaction, or at least refelection, happening here.
You can double the impact of this masterpiece by wearing headphones, seriously! And thank you for introducing the greatest band on earth to the younger generation! 😘
They have head them, they just don't know it was them singing in numerous commercials, movies, tv shows, etc. I think it's safe to say parts of their songs are used in more of these genres than any other band. Not to mention, unless these you people live under a rock and don't watch any sports including the Super Bowl, they don't know we are the champions every time a team wins the title. I could go on.
Thankyou dears!! Love to see young people discover Queen. They are amazing and so diverse, and around for quite some time🤣 I really hope you want to check out their Live Aid Performance for charity. 20 minutes of musical history. Much bless❤
I agree its a crime if she claims to like music id give her queen greatest hits 1-3 and say when you fight the urge to not sing to bohiemian rhapsody then you like music
I think the most iconic part about Freddie's voice that really no one points out is that after some of his lyrics he either does a short exhale or inhale and then yells "Yeah!" or "hey hey!"
Doesn’t matter what age you are, if you’re a techno minded, rock minded or classic minded person. Every normal function brain pauses and stops doing what it was doing when Freddy starts to sing.
LOL. His sister wasn't quite sure what she just heard.....but whatever it was, it subconsciously raised her musical awareness unlike anything else could today.
Sabrina you have so much great music from human history to listen to. Don't let others tell you what is good take time to listen and decide for your self.
I was lucky enough not only to grow up listening to Queen and Bowie (first gig was Bowie in 1973 and saw Queen in 1974 and Christmas Eve 1975 at Hammersmith) I was also lucky enough to grow up near where Queen came from, Roger lived in a bedsit in Kew Road Richmond (many years later I found he lived at 220 and my friend lived at 222a and I never bumped into him!) in 1974 my best mate got a job in White Heart Lane Barnes where it seemed Roger moved after he left the bedsit I saw him and Brian leaving his house a few times there was a wine bar at the end of the road 3 years later I got a job there and it seems Roger used to pop in and sold them his speakers they used by this time he’d moved to Windsor and given the house to his sister Claire who used to pop in after work and was a really nice lady. Brian lived round the corner off Barnes Common I used to see him and his wife and young kids at the Barnes fair but never bothered him while he was with his family, saw him at the Feltham Garden Center with his parents once as well (they lived/he came from Feltham) I finally got his Autograph when saw him near there in a McDonalds with his by then grown up daughter. Lastly my friend has just moved to Kensington and found out few weeks ago in 1970 Freddie lived in that road at number 36. I can’t explain what I thought when I first heard this song it was mind blowing, I need to have it played at my funeral along with a Bowie song!
I always loved how Freddie made love to that half a mic stand when he would sing. The first time I heard this song I was 12, and saw it on MTV. Was in love with the group since that day.
How can you not know that?! i feel like i know this since i was born. Well i am maybe a bit weird when it comes to music because i am only 15 and love old rock music but well.....
Fun to see big brother introducing his sister to an all-time classic song. Should have given her headphones to hear it. So much better sound for this song. To many good bands from around this period to torture her with :)
Nice to see young ones listening to music from back in the day ,can you react to dragon attack live in Montreal ,thank you ,stay safe ,from Liverpool UK x
Alexander, thank you for saying that. Obviously she didn't react the way she was supposed to according to the "older" generation. I'm very happy to meet you
STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS! 💥 I remember the exact moment I first heard this. It was on my radio. I was 14 years old, growing up in Canada. Mindblowing! ♥💚💜❤
"very good reaction video"... ehm...there was no reaction. unless a little bit of nodding your head counts as a reaction. don't be afraid to say the truth
