I have to correct you. You said there was no Beats going on so Kevin could do a straight singing part. However, he was doing Beats intermittently throughout the piece. He does that quite regularly. Anyway, it's no big deal but I'm a know it all, even if I'm wrong, so I just had to put that out there. Otherwise a great reaction.

They sing this song in every live show; it's a standard. And when I saw them last summer, Mitch sings it without a megaphone and it's pretty much the same. It's extraordinary! I think they were so good at changing the lead parts up as needed to move the song forward. Great reaction and like that you enjoyed it so much.

I thought this was an audacious selection on their part - until I heard it, of course, and then I was reassured that yes, they can do anything they set their minds and voices to. One of the judges during their run on The Sing Off commented repeatedly on the surprises they managed to include in their performances and wondered how long they could keep that up. Turns out, more than a decade. Loved your reaction, as always! Peace …

That motorised couch (a nod to their early days when they would sit on a couch and sing), was a nightmare. There’s a behind the scenes of the recording of the video and it was clear that there was a danger of any one of them falling over the back of it. Hence Kirstie holding Mitch’s hand and whenever they could they had ‘fielders’ behind the couch if someone was standing on it. They deserved danger money for this!

How did hubby react?

my academic teacher (boss) loved this song and played it in surgery all the time, singing and smiling under his mask. He adored Freddie Mercury and hated anyone who tried to sing this song. He did not know Pentatonix at that time but he might have had the same reaction. Thank you for this amazing reaction. This song is crazy beyond words!! It's very courageous to sing this song considering the genius of Freddie.

The sound switching left-right is actually in the Queen original. Although stereo recording had been around for decades, pop music mostly stayed with mono recording until the 1960's when the Beatles in particular started experimenting. Bohemian Rhapsody (1975?) was before digital recording, and in addition to fooling around with stereo effects, Freddie also insisted on recording multiple layers of sound, recording on the same piece of tape until it was starting to get worn thin. Brian May has a video where he talks about the recording sessions.

The megaphone is just a prop for the video. They sing this live and it is amazing and just as impressive. There is many videos on YT from concerts of this.

I presume they add a touch of this onto his mic when they do a live version, but having heard it live it certainly isn't a lot. It is mostly just his ridiculous voice. I'm glad Mitch sang the high part so that you didn't have to delete your channel! And epic just about sums it up.

Thank you so much! Really means a lot

These guys are just flippin amazing alien unicorns! It took them 5 years to feel ready to do this song and to do it the justice that it deserves. They are all massive Queen fans. Brian May, lead guitarist from Queen, heard this song when it came out and posted a link to his socials with the one word comment 'Enjoy!' I feel like that is giving Queen's Seal of Approval right there! They also inserted a lot of references and easter eggs into this video in tribute to the original video - which by the way, if you haven't seen - you should probably check it out! Queen couldn't perform this song live because of all the layering they did in post! And not only can Pentatonix do this Live, but the Mitch Grassi Guitar has no need for a Megaphone. Mitch just saw it lying around the set and decided to use it to draw attention to who was doing the guitar solo part - the megaphone was not on, Mitch can do this live! The couch is in reference to their beginning videos where they recorded themselves on various of theirs couches to post onto KZread after they were dropped by Sony because they didn't think that Acapella would be popular enough to sell records. It is also a tip of the hat to Wayne's World movie scene with the car and head banging to this song which brought in a whole new generation to Queen's music! The part where Mitch is laying on the couch is in reference to Freddie's death and the members walking alongside are his coffin's Pallbearers. A lot of the visuals in here are in tribute to the original video's trippy graphics; like when they all line up and do the 'oh, oh, oh's' one after the other, and also when they line up behind Kirstie standing on the couch only to fan out behind her with their vocal parts. The shot of the sky is in tribute to Dr. Brian May who is Queen's lead guitarist and also an astrophysicist! Each shooting star represents a member of Queen. When they all collapse onto the couch with the shot from above is a homage to the cover art of Queen's record 'Sheer Heart Attack' Also I am pretty sure, Mitch is a reincarnation of Freddie Mercury - one...he can grow the Freddie Stash and looks so much like Freddie that it is amazing the resemblance - two...he can sing just as high if not higher than Freddie could - and three...Freddie died 8 months before Mitch was born!

Even as a skeptic, I can't even express how much I love the thought of my favorite singer returning to the world in the body of my other favorite singer. For awhile there, in the full mustache era, the resemblance really was uncanny. To add to the list of similarities, just before Queen, Freddie ran a stall in one of the London markets that sold dramatic, off the-beaten-track clothing, and we all know about Mitch and fashion. Both men are also quite shy and introverted in "real life" clothing stI feel blessed to have Freddie as the voice of my youth and now, now Mitch is the voice of my not-quite-old-age.

You are getting good at the part placement game with PTX! I commend you! Their cover is so fun! I can't imagine anyone watching your reactions and skipping your analysis portions! They are the best! I still recommend their cover of Cosmo Sheldrake's Come Along! I know you aren't to any Matt as bass songs yet, but when the time comes, I highly recommend listening to Cosmo's quirky original so you know how much PTX made it their own! Thank you for your wonderful ears and your understandable breakdowns!

One of my favorite covers is Pentatonix singing Come Along. I was familiar with the Cosmo Sheldrake’s original and loved its quirkiness, but Pentatonix has raised the song to a whole new level. Watching reactions to it are fun because most reactors are not familiar with the original and they don’t what to make of the song - there’s often some sort of comment about what genre of song is this, followed by “but I like it” 😂

That was absolutely enjoyable, both our beloved Pentatonix AND your reaction. After your reactions I go back to listen to the actual song and hear so much more. TX for this. Greetings from South Africa

I have not seen you smile so much in a reaction before. So glad you enjoyed it! I would love to hear your take on their cover of an instrumental piece, Waltz of The Flowers. it is wonderful and it's a yule log video, so you can't see them, buy I absolutely love it and it gets stuck in my head every time I hear it for days. Mitch does the "guitar" live and it sounds the same. Megaphone is just a prop to highlight what he's doing.

Great and really informative reaction!! As usual, you've expertly dissected this impressive cover PTX did. There's a few "easter eggs" within the video that people don't often get: * The couch is both a nod to the days when PTX began after losing their recording contract by singing on one of the couches in their apartments...and to Wayne's World that re-introduced another generation to BH and Freddie/Queen in that movie by playing it at volume on the road trip. The crew for PTX actually motorized that couch and it was quite a hazard...it tried to run over Kevin!! The entire video was shot at night ( all night) on a deserted piece of road. There's a Behind The Scenes video of how they put this together. * The Guitar solo...the megaphone is just a prop. Mitch does the solo without any help in live shows. * The shot of the starry sky...a nod to the four members of Queen ( the shooting stars) and a special nod to Lead guitar, Dr Brian May, astrophysicist who actually has a comet named for him. * The sprawl on the couch....a nod to another of Queen's album cover art, Sheer Heart Attack. Looking forward to your next PTX analysis!!!

For the past few years of tour (post-Covid) this piece has usually been used as their encore at each concert. It's amazing to see it live, in person.

When the group is lying together on the couch towards the end it reminds me of the cover of Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack" album, which looks down on the four Queen members lying down with their heads together.

I did see them do this live. I actually found the tickets recently. The megaphone is just a prop. There's a lot of homage to Queen, and to PTX. It took them 5 years to get the arrangement to where they felt like they were ready to release it. Brian May let the world know that they should enjoy it.

I just realized that the lyrics in the beginning of the song are literally written in ACIM, that was downloaded in 1965. Did Freddie read ACIM? A course in Miracles. "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality Open your eyes Look up to the skies and see. (.. REALITY... Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. ). Maybe only a coincidence? But the timeframe matches :) THANK YOU!! Superb work, once again!!

I don't know if KZread would allow it, but I personally would love to hear ALL of the things you didn't have time to say in this reaction video about Pentatonix's version of the song. It's always fun to hear someone knowledgeable point out things that I've missed, even though I've heard the song dozens (hundreds?) of times by now. Just a few points: the panning early in the song ("little high, little low") is a direct throwback to Queen's original recording; they did the same thing. Something that is usually missed is that in the line before the panning happens ("easy come, easy go") the audio changes from stereophonic to monophonic for just that one line - another thing that Queen did in the original. Mitch's wah-wah guitar sound is sometimes known as the Grassi Guitar - it's usually a shock to reactors, but Mitch does it every time PTX performs this song live (which is most of their non-Christmas concerts). As one reactor said, "Everyone has tried to imitate a guitar with their voice - Mitch just does it better than anyone else." There's a BTS making-of for this video, which has got some interesting tidbits. They spent all night shooting this on a cold night, so they were having problems with their breath showing in the video (I think you can still see it occasionally). Apparently the remote-controlled couch was a lot more dangerous than it looks in the video: it nearly ran over Kevin, Scott joked that they should be wearing helmets in order to ride it, and since Kirstie needed a ledge on the back of it to be able to climb over it, it's balance wasn't good and it tipped over a few times. Here's a link to the BTS in case you want to watch it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2ypyaynearFfM4.html And a link to a more recent (Sept. 2022) version of the song: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIF6stWopcTbnZM.html

Since 2011 it’s been a joy to watch them grow and refine their sound. That first performance on Sing Off was so different and compelling. We knew right away we were seeing something special. They won the contest but as often happens in the music business, the hype and the reality of the contact failed to really support them as promised. I have a lot of respect for their drive and skill to craft their careers. There is an interview with Ben Bram who Scott met through SoCal VoCal. Ben helped them on Sing Off and has been their arranger for many years. There is a KZread interview with him, where he gives a little history of their rise to stardom. I remember seeing them perform in little small venues early on. I was worried they’d get lost into oblivion like so many contest winners. They definitely earned their stardom. They worked their way out with talent and ingenuity. Filming videos in less than ideal conditions, touring and promoting their music and being very open with their fans. Early videos of Can’t Hold Us and Thrift Shop were so much fun. Thrift Shop will make you LOL. Thank you for your reactions!

It never occurred to me before that you're right! There are few repetitions, no choruses save perhaps for "nothing really matters" and "anywhere the wind blows." Notice how Avi's first version of "anywhere..." ascends, and Mitch takes the second while Avi descends into the abyss. Very effective. Wonderfully melodic. Is the minimization of repetition very unusual in modern music? Can you think of other such songs?

Epic is the right word...you nailed it!

Seems all my info-comments have already been made, so the only thing left to do is compliment your superb analysis of this PTX classic.

I have listened to this reaction several times and was so stunned that i didn’t even leave a comment. I always leave your reactions informed and more appreciative of the performance. Thank you, Sir, sincerely.

Check the album cover for "Sheer Heart Attack" and you'll notice the similarity of the overhead shot near the end. Subtle, yet honoring the band

I'm excited that you're reacting to this!

💝 *There is something so special about a group, that can make you feel every lyric in the song, & is their amazing gift* 💝 Loving your in depth analyzation of their performances, and voice techniques! Can't wait to see you react to their version of The Prayer, Hallelujah, & Amazing Grace, where their voices shine so brightly 😊

Seen it live several times without the megaphone…….just as perfect x

So happy you reacted to this one. There’s a really interesting video somewhere on you tube about the making of this music video. And there are also quite a few videos of them performing it live. Just FYI, lol. Thanks, entertaining and educational as always.

I agree, EPIC is the only appropriate reaction 🔥🤘

this one live is very much epic, and mitch did not use the megaphone. also, i don't think reactions as good as yours can be too long

Your reactions are always spot on - and this was no exception!! Just Great!!! I'd like to know how long it takes you to do all the research you do on your reactions, and then put everything together for us - and I just love how in depth they are. It's amazing to me how you are able to break it down. Just another excellent job. Thank You!

Thank you! The length varies video to video; I get asked this question somewhat frequently so please allow me to copy in a previous response below: Most of the time-consumption of these videos is actually the editing A 10min video takes about 1.5 hours to edit, and a 20min video will take around 3 hours to edit. The raw filming itself usually takes around 30-45minutes? Obviously it varies from video to video, but these are ballpark figures So the final product you're seeing now is the recording with all the gaps etc cut out, to make the videos as short as possible for you It's the only way I can get in all the info without making each video a mini-documentary 😅

Thank you. thank you. thanks. I always appreciate your depth of reaction to Pentatonix mastery.

Epic!! I agree. As always love your reactions to PTX. They performed on a tribute show to Queen. Also excellent performance.

Sir hairless do check out their live vevo performance of kiss from a rose. Prepare to be 🤯. Love your reactions ❤

this always gives another meaning to "I'm singing the instruments too" :D

It's so refreshing to watch your first impressions when they sing!😊 And your analysis was a feast. The amount of details you can pinpoint is impressive 😅. Excellent video reaction 👏

The megaphone is just a prop. I have seen them perform this live and Mitch needs no megaphone to pull it off.

In this performance even we hear the non-megaphone guitar sound towards the end, and there's definitely a difference between the two sounds. So he can produce the megaphone sound without the megaphone? Cool!

@@SirHairlessYep. Mitch is a very good mimic. You should hear him mimic a dry ease marker on a whiteboard. Lol.

@@SirHairless Yes, the dry erase marker mimic (Mitch's whistle tones) is in a very early Superfruit video, "Best Friend Challenge". If you haven't explored Superfruit yet, that's another rabbit hole. It's Scott and Mitch's side project from their early years when they shared an apartment, approximately 2013-2018. A lot of it is cute vlog-type videos, early KZread challenge videos, etc, but they also have some great music mixed in (Rise, album mashups from Rhianna, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce, and their own Future Friends Album) as well as more fun music videos (Frozen Medley, Defying Gravity, LaLaLand medley, Hip Hop goes Broadway, etc)

Ty! That was an awesome analysis! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Epic indeed. Great reaction.

It was Epic! I really enjoy listening back to the parts of the song you describe.

CONGRATULATIONS ON 20k SUBSCRIBERS! There's only UP to go for you! Yay! Lupe.-

Woo thank you!!

This one giving chills all over! This megaphone is just a prop he didn't use it in concert!

Great analysis. Thank you so much. I learned a lot!

I was waiting for you to do this one! It was worth the wait. Excellent review and analysis!

Thank you for this (and the other) Ptx reactions. And not just. I would be very curious to watch your reaction on their creating proces: The making of Evergreen is an actual footage of creating Ptx magic.
