Made for Mitch! PENTATONIX - Bohemian Rhapsody - First Time Hearing
#Pentatonix #BohemianRhapsody #Queen #Mitch #Acapella #FirstTimeHearing
Hey all! This reaction has been a long time coming (and heavily requested)! I'm hoping there won't be any copyright issues - a lot of the videos have been getting blocked lately, unfortunately. So, keep your fingers crossed! Unsurprisingly, this was a song seemingly destined to be covered by Mitch - but I liked how they still gave everyone in the group their moment!

I loved that they didn’t try to dress like or look like Freddie or the rest of Queen even though they didn’t try to change the song very much. It was a true tribute while making it their own. They certainly paid homage to the video with the flashlights. Very clever way to show the up lighting from that section of the original. Best praise ever - Brian May tweeted the Pentatonix video and said check this out or something like like. Doesn’t get better than that ✌️💚
It still boggles my mind at how incredible Avi is with his rock bass riffs. If you listen closely during the part after the opera part you can hear his incredible rock bass riffs. It really moves the song into the next level. And Kevin throughout the entire piece is out of this world. I still can't believe they didn't win a Grammy for this.
You'd probably enjoy their "Behind the scenes" video of when they shot this. It was actually filmed outdoors on a country road and it was chilly (you can see their breath fog in some of the shots). Kevin fell off the motorized couch in one of the outtakes.

If you haven't seen it already check out the wizard of ahhhhhhhs.
The direct tributes they did towards Queen, and their original recording while still making this a clear Pentatonix performance: - the switch from side to side in the intro - a nod to the original - the da-da da-da dum dum ♫ in the second part was an interpretation of Freddie playing the same cords on the piano - the star field before the outro - a direct nod to their guitarist Brian May: the astrophysicist Good to see your joy while experiencing this
5 voices doing Bohemian Rhapsody ...LOL Extreme talent loaded in this group! Fun reaction!!
This was a godly performance IMO. They did this total justice indeed.
Great reaction. They are too good! Apparently the megaphone is just a prop and Mitch does this without it when live. Would love to see them in person. So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great reaction! This song was my very first experience listening to and watching PTX. I wasn't even watching it for me, I was showing my daughter who is a HUGE Queen fan, and I'm the one who became completely sucked into being a Pentaholic! Not to mention falling completely in love with Mitch and his voice! I'm sure you've already had most songs suggested, but 2 of my favorites are Love Again and Sing (both original upbeat songs), and also Say Something and Problem. Anything off of The Lucky Ones album will also be fire. Can't wait to see more! I LIVE for PTX reactions!
Excellent staging, incredible arrangement, and many fans included. I'm talking about their original, "Sing". Uplifting, fun and filmed in southern California. I look forward to seeing you watch it. :)
Glad you finally found a chance to do this! It was about time. Allegedly they waited with doing this until they themselves felt comfortably that they could do the original justice with their version…
Pentatonix are incredible! And you know I love this song.
Sugar Land "Stay" 170 million views. Very powerful.
You finally got to this masterpiece but now you’ve got me hooked! Where are you taking me next?
Molly: I'm not sure they can do this: PTX: hold my beer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another fantastic reaction to PTX. I have heard, not 100% verified, rumors that Brian May actually posted this cover to Queen's IG page. Shallow, Amazing Grace, and Say Something really show Kirsten's talents. Thank you for sharing and have a very blessed day.
Like your reactions. Recommend their Seasons Of Love as seen on nationwide tv from the 4th of July. Kirstin kills!
The megaphone is just a prop, that is all Mitch, when they do this in concert he does not have a megaphone, just his microphone. As for the couch, that is a call back to their beginnings. If you watch their very old videos from before they became famous and they had no real budget to work with, it is the five of them sitting on a couch with Avi and Kevin sitting on the cushions and Mitch, Scott and Kirsten sitting on the back of the couch singing and recording songs.

Their journey, post SingOff, began on the couch and they have traveled far since. To me the moving couch represents how far they have gone and how they return to their roots when needed.

I've heard that Mitch saw the megaphone lying around on the set and thought it would be a cool prop, so he used it that way on the spur of the moment, and it's been confusing people ever since.
You keep reacting to PTX and us Pentaholics will be right there along for the ride. Great job!
Brian May got to see this video and was impressed. Looking beautiful as always, love your smile😘
As already noted, the couch is taking them on a trip down Memory Lane; that's why it had to move. There's a Behind the Scenes video for this; you might enjoy watching it. When they motorized the couch they also managed to destabilize it; the couch spent the entire filming session trying to fall over into a stable position, which resulted in a few bruises for Pentatonix. Once you get past the moving couch, the symbolism in this video all has to do with Queen. The starry night sky (during Mitch's second guitar solo) is meant to honor Brian May, who has a doctorate in Astrophyics. The four shooting stars are for the four members of Queen. And when the camera pans down from the night sky to show them lying on the couch, the picture is meant to reference the cover art for Queen's _Sheer Heart Attack_ album.
The shot of the night sky at the end with all the stars is a nod to Queen guitarist Brian May, who after Queen, went back to school and got a PhD in astrophysics. Neat, huh?
Thank you for a very interesting reaction to this great Pentatonix performance! I must say that I find it very interesting to watch you as you watch the video. You are very expressive! Great job!
Brian may lead guitarist is actually doctor Brian may. He is an Astro physicist. The scene when they are showing the night sky with the shooting stars is paying homage to the fact that Brian may is an astrophysicists. I always wondered why there were only 4 shooting stars not 5 because there are 5 people in Pentatonix. Then I read a comment That said the night sky was homage to Brian may Then the 4 shooting stars made sense to me. There are 4 members in queen. Brian may So enjoyed this that he posted it on all his media sites. The couch is paying homage to how they 1st started. After they won the sing off in 2011 which included a record contract The label dropped them so they started to do their own videos Which always had them sitting on a couch With a camera pointed at them and Then do the song and posted it to KZread. Mitch has been releasing his own music under the name of Messer there is the machine and Angels pray. Under his own name is his cover of Billie eilish you're power. Kevin plays Cello saxophone And keyboard. If you watch his Cover of Marion hills down you'll see just how talented he is. He does play the cello in some of The videos. He will also occasionally sing. Fun fact Kevin did not know he could sing when he joined Pentatonix. Obv who is classically trained Taught him how to Sing. When Avi left in 2017 under good terms he pursued his own career. React to his video Change on the rise and now I am really enjoying it knows me. Scott has Some videos of just himself. Check out Scott and Mario josei Doing lost on you. Mitch and Scott have a Separate Group called Superfruit. I really recommend There cover of Katy perry's rise. Kirstin Also had some solo work. I'm really enjoying naked, break a little. I just can't remember the name the of the 3rd one. I don't know if you have done imagine but if not please do that it's a powerful song and they deliver the message in a very powerful way. You also get to hear what is called the wall of sound In there harmonies In imagine and also Mary did you know. I'm really enjoying watching you Becoming a Pentaholic.
Nice reaction! You would really enjoy the video of them filming this. They did it overnight when it was very cold. Imagine trying to stand on a moving couch in high heels or balance on the arm or top of the couch and still do this song as well as they did.
I remember how much this blew my mind the first time I saw it. It was the same feeling I got when I was 11 years old and the Queen original first came out!
For your own pleasure, you may find the behind the scenes of this interesting: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2ypyaynearFfM4.html
One of "if not" their best cover so far. Great react Molly :)
So happy you did this one! It just improves anyone's spirits! I hope your health is being kind to you! Love your reactions! Thank for for doing them to PTX!
Great reaction! Thank you for sharing. ☮️
Brian MAy posted this to his social media right after it came out saying something like enjoy to his fans
I'd love you to see their cover if "Favorite Things".
Brian May posted this on his social media accounts. All he said was 'Enjoy'. We call it the Grassi Guitar. He does it without the megaphone when doing it live. I heard in live, as their encore, at their Christmas show in 2018 and it sounded virtually the same. It was EPIC! I think they only used the megaphone in the video so it would be obvious who was doing the sound.
It is not Mitch and the Mitchettes (and I love Mitch too) so it is always a shared performance since the are all immensely talented.
1st I have seen a video of this performed live. Mitch doesn't need the megaphone. He can do that with just his voice. 2nd Brian May of Queen has a link to this cover on his social media site. Pretty high praise, if you ask me. Thank you. Hope and joy to all.
I started following you today and enjoyed watching you discover Pentatonix and Angelina Jordan. Thank you for your great reactions. May I suggest you watch Avi Kaplan’s “Change on the Rise” and Disturbed’s version of “Sound of Silence”? I suggest watching Disturbed’s version before watching Pentatonix. I hope you enjoy.

I would suggest she watch Simon and Garfunkel, the original, first.
That guitar effect sound on the solo with the megaphone was dope!!! Brilliant!
I love you… but you had headphones on and had the nerve to not mention what Avi’s doing at all?! 🤣🤦🏾♀️ His bass in this song was absolutely incredible! 😁👏🏾🙌🏾🎉🎊❤️
Being a fairly new sub watching your reactions, I continue to be impressed. You are amazing! I love you sharing your journey with us.
What you thought was the result of using the megaphone was actually just Mitch's voice. The megaphone was simply a prop for the video so that Mitch could do a "piece of business" with it.
You’re fun! Fun reactions.
Ptx is one of my favorites obvi. Creativity in their videos is just how they do. I love your reactions cuz you don’t say stupid things Your so beautiful keep it up. Check out the prayer but have your hankies ready
You're not the first person that has said you recognized a little twangy in their voice. I've really never noticed I guess that's because I'm also from Texas about 30 minutes from Arlington! So I find it funny how people pick up on a little thing like that.
FYI the megaphone is a prop, it was not on, you can tell on their live it sounds the same without the megaphone that is totally Mitch's voice
Cute reaction 💕 if you’re looking for another feel good song .. check out their evolution of MJ -Michael Jackson.. it’s soooooo good
The beginning and the end of the video is a homage to the way they started their career on KZread with them just doing videos on the couch in the living room and how their career has always been due to their KZread audience.
Not sure if you've seen them already, but a KDA reaction would be pretty cool!
Hey, if you're up for another, somewhat different take on this song, here it is in 42 styles by Ten Second Songs. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aq2Yu5pmhd3HmJs.html
Pls react on the prayer and sound of silence by pentatonix
👍😌😗🙂❤️
Visual prop. It was too heavy so they took the batteries out.
I'm sure I'm not the first to say this but you resemble Jody Foster
omg! dont take this the wrong way, & idk where i got this: but i legit thought you were all being held in a prison in moscow or one of the 'stans. stupid reddit. - JC
Your speaking over the music is off-putting. I can't hear you, but more importantly, i can't hear Pentatonix.
