Has it occurred to you people that they might not be laughing because they thought it was bad? It is genuinely amusing. They were clearly expecting to get laughs if for nothing else but getting laughs didn't throw them off.
people are laughing because it's a comical song! how often do you hear a peaceful melody with people singing about their mom killing a man ;) i loved it! The audience was into it, it was great :D
These guys are all friends of mine. Our chorus helped to get them started in Barbershop. The reason the audience is laughing was they were not a barbershop audience and were kinda taken by surprise, they didn't know if it was serious or not. Colin the bari did this arrangement.
This song is 70s rock - most folks in the audience remember it in the top ten and this is the first time they've heard it in barbershop. They're laughing in suprise as to how authentic it sounds in barbershop.
this is not a typical barbershop song and they are making funny noises to immitate instruments... they sound great, but they're also being funny!! :D :D
@HouD The audience laughed because it was funny. This piece was sung in a comic aspect when it was first produced, as it is being performed here. They may be great singers, that doesnt mean everything they sing has to be so serious.
Love the seventh in 'See' at 0:40! Too bad it keeps on getting lower from the first verse and further. Lowering is almost logical but it's okay as long as everyone does it at the same moment, which wasn't the case at appr 1:20 in this version. Great voices and one hell of a counter-tenor there, nevertheless. I'd drop the hands, it looks like useless gestures...But then again; what a challenge to sing this song with only four voices, and how welldone!
This is one of, if not the best barborshop harmony I've seen on youtube ever,... Bravo Bravo.. Awsome , This takes lots of practice and time.. Thanks for sharing with allllll of US...
i fully understand in the middle....its just in the beginning. Its just an "out of place" wierd thing to hear them laugh a great harmony. I'm not an outsider. I sang barbershop for 5 years back in the 90's and just miss it. (lack of time).
ur retarded dood, why do you think they are playing air instruments and vocalizing instrument noises, cuz they want it to be funny as well as good! kinda like tenacious D :P, but these guys are better
one of the best arrangements i've heard. although i wish more dynamics, the voice control is excellent, very balanced. i particularly liked the harmony in 1:45 - 1:55 .
in case u didn't realize, this is not the 3 tenors or anything, and they are fucking singing bohemian rhapsody not fucking phantom of the opera or some shit.
dude look at their faces, it is obviously light hearted.
errr not to mention pulling out the drumsticks at the end.
moron, if u expect to be sitting here with a box of tissues marveling at this" beuatiful performance" ur at the wrong show buddy.
this was light hearted entertainment. and the crowd obviously enjoyed it.
even Freddie also said that Queen's song were wrote for having fun, laghing & relaxing (but some Brian's songs). So, when people laugh - this is what Freddie wanted to, because laughter in this performance is very kind and that's a plus for Queen as great band and also Bohemian Rhapsody not a funny song. Laughter like this is just a kind of positive feeling which everyone has.

Just look at queen throughout their career. In a way, you could see them as a cartoon version of a band. Their songs were always catchy and upbeat, cartoony in a way. That's how i always think of them, and it's why i respect the band so much for doing something so different
guys you have done a difficult job. it takes a talent to be able to blend with other tones in harmony. and you are doing the vocals and the intruments at the same time. Amazing blending...
I hate to disappoint you, but this song was written long before he would have ever even known he had AIDS. The lyrics have a lot of meaning behind them, but Freddie having AIDS isn't one of them.
It's just a good song to listen to. Don't try to look too deep into it.
not only is it not about him having aids, the members of the band have repeatedly said that the song was created and intended as a joke. It was never meant to be serious.
whoa, i think i made some mistakes in my advice cause i think your first solo is ur t2, oh dear, well i hope u get what i mean, your performance of william tell was spot on, maybe it was just cause this song is so hard, and the crowd kept laughing at weird places
im not sure what to say, you guys sound like top top top notch when singing your part, and your first lead solo was awesome and the bass with the solo was great, but the other of u two song pretty flat or bad tone when u sung solo, word of advice dont make your t2 or b1 sing a part that is in range for t1 cause i think it was just too high, you are all great singers!!!
What is better than a Barbershop Quartet and the song Bohimian Rhapsody? A Barbershop Quartet singing Bohimian Rhapsody. You have made Barbershop even more awsome! Bass pride!
i am finalizing the arrangement. I adjust some of the weird parts of the song to make it more fluid. I'll make a post when it is available for purchase once I get licensing and everything taken care of.
Barbershop is all about feeling the music and enjoying what you're singing so the movement is just natural to them...this is so beautiful and its kinda rude that the audience laughed
they're laughing because it's a funny song and because they're doing such a great job singing it. and the part where they break apart and pretend to be performing it as a band is SUPPOSED to be funny
Wtf is with this audience? It's not funny!!!
