The song was 100% Forestella.....They were individual competitors on a survival elimination show called "Phantom Singer" whose goal was to create a crossover vocal quartet like II Divo. They compete 1 v. 1, then the survivors move on to recruit for duos, then trios... and finally the Quartet. The guy 2nd from the right (Mingyu) won every round and that gave him the chance to recruit the others. Left to right Woorim - Classically trained Basso Profundo Hyungho - Rock Countertenor (zero training until he joined the group) Mingyu - Leader and Classically trained Leggiero Tenor (he and Woorim went to the same school) Doohoon - Musical Theater Actor, Baritenor They are lightning in a bottle. The show has turned out several great quartets, but none have the widespread appeal of Forestella. They continue to enter competitions, put out albums and even toured N. America last year. They intend to keep performing, but they are a man down for the next year+ as their Bass, Woorim, completes his Mandatory Military service.
Holy cow, these guys are amazing! Queen isn't easy. If you do a cover, you have to either stay true to the original or make it your own. Either is hard. These guys made it their own and totally rocked it. Jesus christ man. They are so technically talented to! I daresay they topped Freddy! :O I got chills all through this.
Just 'discovering' this group - a little late! Apparently 2 are trained in classical operatic voice, the 3rd in musical theatre, but the high countertenor - allegedly -was an Industrial Chemist & sometime rock band singer! Unbelievable. Even MORE gobsmacking when you hear him in their Hijo De La Luna. Please react to that one 😊
Thank you very much for your reaction! Just to introduce the group, they are Forestella (포레스텔라) and it means forest+stella (means 'star' in Italian). They are crossover vocal group like Il Divo, composed of 4 members. They were contestants in a crossover singing competition show, Phantom Singer season 2, in which they ultimately formed a quartet. Woo Rim Ko (고우림) is a classically trained Bass (does the low notes). Min Gyu Cho (조민규) is a classically trained Tenore di grazia/tenor leggiero who has a very clear, sharp,and light voice tone. Doo Hoon Bae (배두훈) has a pop/R&B type of voice tone and is a musical actor. Hyung Ho Kang (강형호) was a research chemist but got into professional singing by joining Forestella. He has a wide voice range from tenor to soprano. He also has rocky style as he used to be an amateur rock band vocalist. I also recommend Maldita sea mi suerte, “Speechless” from Aladdin sung in 8 different languages (Min Gyu Cho 조민규 alone), In Un'altra vita, Dell'amore non si sa, l'immensita, Parla Piu Piano (Godfather soundtrack), 신라의 달밤 (Moonlit night of Shilla), 모래 위의 발자국 (Footsteps in the sand), Dream a little dream of me, Sound of silence, Sweet dreams, Angel (originally by Libera boy choir), and My Favorite Things (Sound of Music soundtrack) sung by Forestella.
Thak you for reacting Forestella~ They are Korean crossover group. Their performance is amazing. Woorim_Ko 1995 (Bass/vocalist ), Hyungho_Kang1988 (Counter Tenor/vocalist), Mingyu_Cho 1990 (Tenor/vocalist), Doohoon_Bae 1986 (musical actor). They are the winner of the Korean TV program Phantom Singer 2. They always touch people with a very surprising stage. I hope you can watch another Forestella's performance. Thank you~~ Link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ruLxZr-ZN1Q.html
I came across your videos. I just couldn't stop watching them. Your contribution to music education on this channel is great. I'll drop by once in a while. I like this rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. It's phenomenal. Forestella was formed via a Korea reality audition TV show four years ago. Last year, that audition show gave birth to another phenomenal quartet called "La Poem." I would like to see how you would respond to their songs. Recently, they covered Joke's on You and Rolling in the Deep. Actually, La Poem had head-to-head matches with Forestella in a TV show. They won first time and lost second time. Okay, that was a little bit of an update about Korean crossover music groups. I saw the note about your birthday week. Happy birthday to you! Thank you for nice and educational videos!
When I listen to La Poem's music, I automatically say that it's amazing.The sound of the four is as beautiful as the sound of an angel. I highly recommend La Poem's songs.It's a team of vocalists with an authentic countertenor, but they're also good at pop songs.Amazing is a team that fits so well.
Through the same competition as Forestella, a lot of talented teams were born last year as well. La Poem was a winner from the last season. All four members specialized to be the classical singer but they also perform pop music flexibly. I really want to introduce their songs to you are Joke’s on you and Rolling in the deep. I hope you can feel those are amazing as me.
Hi Beth, I'm glad you enjoyed Forestella's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody! Really enjoyed your reaction! You can also check out the cover of "Speechless" by Min Gyu Cho (조민규) - the tenor with clear and light tone of voice - sung in 8 different languages. You can search by the title, "Aladdin OST "Speechless" in 8 languages (Male) l 남자가 8개국어로 알라딘 "Speechless"를? l by 조민규 (Forestella)" or you can search "조민규 speechless"
These singers are phenomenal! Who does not have an accent? It could be British, American, Australian, Asian, Korean, Indian, Arabic, African or Hawaiian. They are all accents!
the lights the crowd are waving are concert penlights (aliexpress has them, if you want to wait to ship them from China) , I know Japan is mad for them, and it seems to be spreading. On that note: Wagakki Band Senbon Sakura live ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRaP6TmKTQE.html Traditional Japanese vocal style, mixed with rock/pop stylings, with the band containing a traditional band, as well as a rock band (they have a percussion section, and a 24 string harp type thing, it's awesome)
I remember everyone making Bohemian Rhapsody covers Because of the new movie that came out. As a side note, It hink you'll like N.Flying, They have done medleys of Queen and Micheal Jackson, However Hot Potato is my favourite.
Beth!! Thank you for your reaction :) I recommend Cover of 'Speechless' by MinGyu Cho, a member of Forestella. (8 different languages!! ; France, Norway, Russia, Korea, Germany, Italy, Spain, America) He has a very special voice! Check out ! via his channel on RU-vid "whalsrb88"
Have you ever considered reacting to a BAND-MAID song? They're a Hard Rock band from Japan with a maid theme. Yes, the concept is a bit strange, but they are skilled musicians, and their lead singer, Saiki Atsumi has a great Rock voice. This one is a good example: BAND-MAID / Awkward (Live): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QuJGPMFGvKI.html
Thanks for your beautiful reaction!! I recommend you to react to some Son Seung Yeon' s performances on Immortal Songs. She is a beast vocalist and has lots of great performances on that show. But because many of her videos are written in Korean, there are not many reaction videos about her yet. Here are some of my favourite ones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yQuTLxt181w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mdl1WDtdt00.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-huBRP2cfPB8.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dig9NdpY2Tk.html
6:01 "almost sounds real". ?? It is real. It is live in front of an audience. I'm not sure what you mean about 'real'. I was amused that you pegged Mingyu as the "musical theater" guy when he's the classically trained opera singer (along with the bass). The musical theater guy is on the far right, and the rock guy is that countertenor to the right of the bass. They hardly have any accent at all, so that was a bit confusing too. I do hope you did more reactions and learned more about the group. Their whole story is as amazing as their voices.
As a group they have a range from E1/F1 to Bb5 (almost 5 full octaves) which is really wide for a male vocal group. That's because they have someone who can go really high and someone who can go really low. Kang Hyung-ho (the high note guy, sings tenor & counter): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GrBmne-vsNM.html Ko Woo-rim (the low note guy, basso profondo but can sing baritone): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LuPS-n-rEME.html
please react to Zhou Shen a chinese male soprano ( NOT FALSETTO ) with the voice of an angel, formaly trained as a bel canto tenor but has a range from B2 to G5. He was mistaken for a female singer in the voice China. look for " Monsters" "Baby" "Big Fish" " time to say goodbye" "Memory" "dalabengba" "lonely goatherd" he has a truly versatile unique voice, you will be delighted when you hear him.

I think the bass' low keys in the harmonic parts make it sound very digital or autotuned. But if you check their other performances of this song, you will realize even if there was a bit of work done - I mean this was a broadcast I believe so it wouldn't be completely raw - what you hear is pretty much their genuine voices.
You should check out their live performance videos. You will see that their voices here and their abilities to stay right on pitch are genuine, even if there was digital tuning.
😂😂😂 pitch correction??? 😂😂😂 Hilarious. I guess if you only listen to processed vocals, you would assume a balanced quartet with tight harmony and some echo on their mics = pitch correction. Did she have your babies, or are you just gross? 😂
OMG! Thank you for your great reaction. This is the best cover of bohemian rhapsody I've ever heard. I think freddy would be proud of them. I enjoyed your lovely reaction. Have a nice day.
