  • so original and so encapsulating. well done.

  • Awesome...XD

  • I like it. I just did this one too, by myself. care to check it out?

  • its good, but did it really take that many people for that?

  • OH MY GOD, THE TALL GUY IS PITTS FROM DEAD POETS SOCIETY xD

  • the way they are moving to the beat annoys me. the girl singing really high kills it. the rest was fine. IMO

  • well cool.

  • no no no....

  • hey i wanted a scadamoosh!!!

  • is it because of the recording that they sound so awful? i believe that they have fantastic sounds, but just heard like... enharmonic!

  • # 5 from the left is hot!!

  • This is actually a version made by "The Braids".

  • cough!!

  • Ok, seriously people they didn't butcher anything, they took a different take on it. That happens in music, personally this isn't my cup of tea either but they are still very impressive.

  • good idea but theres a dissconect here

  • sooooper nice! as in! it makes me deaf... grrrrr.... really thanks for destroying the supposedly nice song...

  • Thanks for destroying the song

  • Butchered. How dare you take this song and make it into an inner city atrocity.

  • Ruining the song??? How can you ruin a song??? Get your cocks out of Freddie's metaphorical arsehole and show some respect for a great performance of a classic, be it that it is a unique interpretation.

  • were is the musicianship here? do they have terets or something? i sure hope these arent the music majors at NYU... good arrangement though, if its a students, then chill job.

  • that girl singing high-pitched behind the lead singer, got really annoying. But that was pretty good.

  • sorta ruined the song, not a bad group, just need to stick different stuff

  • this is amazing. all haters out there, fair enough, u like the classic verison, we all do, thats why we searched bohemian rhapsody, but common guys, lighten up and keep ur hating opinons to yourself

  • ruined the song!!

  • Thank you for ruining this song...

  • @jeuter You're welcome.

  • I love this version!

  • awesome¡¡¡

  • Awesome singer, awesome awesome singer.

    The rest? Nah.

  • this is the version of Lauryn Hill! GREAT!!!

  • @tre8bre It wasn't lauryn hill, it was the braids. Look it up.

  • These guys are my fave acapella group! Never seen them live, only know them from YouTube but they rock so much!

  • Song is very good. beatboxing ruined it. That guy is a jackass, and he looks like a douchebag while he is doing it

  • Comment removed

  • They are a very talented group but this ruined the song for me. Bohemian Rhapsody is absolutely perfect as is, and I think having a female as the soloist took the meaning completely out of the song (even tho she has a good voice). Summary: if you're going to do Bohemian Rhapsody acapella, keep it simple and stick to great harmonious vocals, no need for bells and whistles (or in this case a silly beat box)

  • wow nice RnB feel with some soul dashed up with alil hip hop and pop.... nice rendition im surprised that there is as many people who dislike as people who like it XD i dont see why people would dislike this very nice trasposition from Rock n Roll to Rhythm n Blues.... and i can see why they won they took a very famous song and changed it up to their likings and made the song sound wonderful, and not only that they look like they are having fun lol those 215+ people dont know what real music is

  • what a shit version. the begining of bohemian rapsody is already perfect for an accapella group. lets beatbox badly instead!!!! whose idea was that. sorry guys.

  • At around 3:55 it looks like the guy behing the soloist is smiling at the girl going in the high voice.. lol

  • I thought this was cool and looks like you all had a good time!! :)

  • not feeling the beatbox during the ballad part

  • This is fire! They sound great doing The Braids cover of this song. And the performance art aspect of this video cracks my shit up. The vocals are excellent, and the faces, dancing, outfits, etc...are hilarious. Love this video.

  • This was AWFUL

  • lol, that's no music

  • Freddie will buck you with his teeth if he were still alive

  • lol nice!!! so true though

  • Hahaha, so true.

  • Agreed. Once he was done vomiting.

  • @puppies21616

    HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Genius.

  • nice :)

    but one more sec in the end

  • it is pretty good

  • you guys are all stupid!

    the only reason why this doesnt sound like the original and why shes singing a guys part is because this isnt the Queen version of the song. Go search the Fugees. idiots....

  • Beatboxing and teenagers singing, a Queen classic does not make.

  • fuck,

  • Shame on you guys!

  • this is fucking terrible.

  • i hate 2 things. 1. when a girl tries to sing a song a man sings. 2. i hate it the most when someone sings a song and thinks if they sing the notes differently and put emphasis on different words they make it sound better

  • fags butchering a great song

  • its.... not that bad!! but seriously... terrible dancing!! LOL

  • I loved this. It's got this great gospel choir feel to it. It's really fun to listen to!

    I just wish they hadn't started in the middle of the song.

  • they tried hard but it lacked

  • i have no problem with them trying to make it original, but the least the backers could do is sing in key, some of the harmonics are so far off it sometimes just sounds like noise behind the soloist

  • this is like the version by the fugees. i like it

  • Great Job Guys. I Love it.

  • i can garuntee you that all the haterz that commented this vid cant even sing themselves.

    this version is pretty creative i think. Good job(:

  • I can ''garuntee'' that you don't have heared queen or you are one of them. This is an ofense to the song,

  • WTF?

    i love queen and i know that it is nothing close to the queen version but give them credit for trying to make it original.

    Im not saying that theyre version is SPECTACULAR. But i do believe that it is pretty good

  • @judoavatar25

    i can guarantee that your grammar was off in that last comment.

    How is this an offense to the song? they are singing the Fugees version, so go grow a pair before you even start arguing with me

  • @kaiiiii808

    I actually didn't mind too much until you said it was a cover of a cover, fuck that noise, I don't even know who the fuck the fugees are, I can respect artistic license but this goes a bit beyond that

  • What are you on about, you are going to have to start looking for neat things that are out there instead of being on a downer

  • @kaiiiii808 im sorry but they did a nice try trying she has a good voice its just a really bad interperation of this song they themselves are ok just not a song. but really the beatboxing not good and yes i can sing.

  • agreed with most of the above...sorry

  • you just ruined one of the best songs ever...should've sung it the way it's supposed to be sung!

  • worst version yet

  • ummm, ya

  • If I pretend it's NOT supposed to be Bohemian Rhapsody, I'll actually begin to like the song!

  • one of the worst interpretations of this brilliant song. no, not only a song, it's a hymn, but this version is really awfull. there's absolutely no need to vary or modifie the notes, much less in this terrible soul- and r'n'b-style! 1* from me...

  • This won some sort of award? Is it just me or is this just really chaotic and irritating? Even more so visually than musically. Seems a bit like what you would get if you went onto a random Greyhound bus and hypnotized the passengers to make them think they could sing, and asked them to improvise a Bohemian Rhapsody. And they all happened to have Parkinsons...

  • gay

  • just bad

  • Don't listen to the offensive commentaries. You are brilliant ;D

  • I can't find proper words to describe this show.

    Maybe "worstness" will do.

  • suckiest performance on youtube

  • I'm mad they left out the opera parts.....mamma mia....let me go?

  • I appreciate that they did The Braids version of the song, but if you listen to that version it will make you hate this a lot.

  • Stanfurd, you got nothing!!! Twice as many members as the Octet, and 1/10 the sound. How does that even happen?

    Oh yeah, and WE GOT THE AXE!!!!!

    GO BEARS :)

  • sucks baddly queens better the girls good but still.

  • Nul a chier :(

  • Eck~! :(

  • they suck, and they cut the best part of the song

  • yuk.

  • I love the female singer's voice. so powerful! i'm not exactly a fan of the gospel spin on it, though. it looked like fun, and i don't mind it, but i wouldn't pay to listen to it, ya know what i mean? Queen rocks. \m/(^.^)\m/

  • If they wanted to put their own spin on it they should have probably chosen a less popular song, that way when they fuck it all up less people will care.

  • The main singer girl does have a great voice.

  • nice try lol

  • Interesting rendition!

  • Great job...not sure how I feel about the different spin they put on it...but not bad.

  • hilarious and amusing!

  • i'm obsessed with this. it isn't conventional, but it is so interesting. and everyone looks like they are having fun.

  • Agreed - YUK.. :-( Totally hate the hip hop/gospel choir/rando soprano squeal version. UCK!

  • it isnt really nice.y did they even change the version?wtf...UC men's octet is the best bohemian rhapsody so far..but no one is better den of course queen themselves.

  • teeeeeeeeerrrrrrrribleeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • bad

  • Actually, these guys are amazing in person. The sound quality of the video does not do them justice. I've heard them live and people are always f*cking blown away. In fact, they're better than anyone I've ever heard on american idol. This recording just doesn't show it.

  • @WilliamBell79 They're voices are amazing, i just don't like this remake of a classic. The guy beatboxing ruins it too.

  • @jkman10 he doesnt in the slightest. the girl whos singing ruined it (shes not the right voice- and she used vibrato falsely) the beatboxing is spot on.

  • that was.....TERRIBLE

    there is one version of this song and that is the original song by queen.

    kids stop fing up good music

  • he has a very strong point there, only fredd can sing this song and no one else!

  • the BRAIDS whoever the hell they are, should not have messed up the song in the first place....when you are doing a cover of a song, you don't insult it by making such a shitty version....no excuse for this group to do a cover of a shitty cover. a cover of the original should be as close to the original as possible to give the original the respect it deserves.

    good example: Live and Let Die cover by Gn'R

    it's like the hiphop versions of the Star Spangled Banner.....you just do that crap

  • it's like the hiphop versions of the Star Spangled Banner.....you just DON'T do that crap is what was supposed to be posted

  • word

  • The girl has a good voice, unfortunately she's flat

    most of the time

  • treu, but nobody can copy this song

  • that's right ù___ù

  • it's not BAD.. its just different.

  • i agree i think poor freddie would be spewing over this

  • just wondering..

    why does the key change through out the song??

    major-minor-major this keeps on happening...

  • what a lead voice!

  • This is a COVER of THE BRAIDS version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Listen the THE BRAIDS... they weren't trying to do queen!!!!!!!!

  • mm the interpretation is very good, but... that destiny childesque and R&B sound is outtaplace make it sounds unshiny and cheap a pitty of arrange with so great voices, avoid that hip hop sound

  • i think this is good, different, but very good

  • IMHO, the 2003 UC Men's Octet's version is much better. Search for it.

  • i say that you guys are all in different key

    ouch...

    disgrace to queen

  • Awful in every way.

  • pleeeease stop!

  • No. . . that was just awful. WTF was that random soprano chick squealing notes in awkward places??

  • Mercury se moriría otra vez...

  • Okay, this is one of the first videos I've ever seen where the comments are completely HORRIBLE. There's nothing wrong with this variation of the song, it's just different.

  • I don't like it. UC Men's Octet is so much better. This is a disgrace to Queen.

  • i dont know why everybody is talking shit bout this video, there are hundreds of worse virsons but this is actually pretty good it's just different

  • I like the concept of it but it gets very messy.

  • Way to ruin a great song. Not to mention a great style of music.

  • i almost destroyed my computer during it before i finally controlled myself and clicked the red x X_X

  • this is the Braids version. its a hip hop cover. sounds just like the braids version. so i give them a five for covering them. well done.

  • soloist has a great voice, but she isn't a great singer at all

    anyway, they killed the song

  • Comment removed

  • UC mens Octet - is way better

  • may i ask what is with the screeching girl?

  • Killed it

  • i want to slap the girl who first sings for some reason... i think its because shes the first on singing so i imediently blame her for ruining such a good song... plus she does that girl thing where they drag out something or make it louder. Power chord i think its called

  • Thats not a power chord you fucking idiot. That has to do with guitars and just so you know, she sung this song PERFECTLY in choir style. Learn something about music before you comment on music videos.

  • i power chord is a harmony created by the first and fifth degree of a musical scale.

  • Hmmm ..... Something is missing

    As if there wasnt enough going on

    I think it's in the arrangment

  • I agree with nocomment...they can really sing!

  • Great!

  • Well I no one knew that it would be this terrible when they clicked the link to watch it. And freddie had two different wives that he screwed, and several other different women, so that supposed diss, wasn't very critical lol

  • Very original. Quite entertaining. Serious vocals! Reminds me of Sister Act II when they put their own spin on joyful joyful!

  • Where is the spirit of the song?

  • they are good, but the arrengement isn't. Is a piece of shit

  • I totally agree. I love this song, but this arrengement is very bad.

  • This is the worst version of the song I've ever heard. It sounds like dying cats. LOL

  • my cat died after listening to it.... but the singer is goood....

  • LOL. I have to agree with you, the soloist was great...but they overdid the song. Especially the annoying girl who is singing really high and really off.

  • I know everyone is really hating on this version, but give the guys some credit. They took a big risk by straying so far from the original in their interpretation. I personally think they did a great job: it was creative and well done. Okay, that's my two cents.

  • This is the biggest piece of vocal shit i have EVER heard!!!! Fredy Mercury would screw a woman rather than hear this!

  • soloist is awesome, still.

  • Wow, this is really different. I found it quite entertaining, keep up the good work

  • They must be from the hood.

  • Way to ruin a great song. This is a hangible offense

  • Bohemian tragedy.

  • i see what they were trying to do but it just didnt work out that well IMHO

  • This sux.

  • shit i got to go

  • The only thing i didn't like is the squeaking girl in the background. The lead singer did a spot on job of the Lauryn Hill rendition.

  • I agree totally on the screaming girl!!!! I still feel this could have been have been done better as it got very messy in the middle with far too much going on so that the melody did not stand out. Sorry 'must try harder'

  • what a mockery..

  • fan. huge fan.

  • Mmm You guys are good, but I really don't think you did this song justice, at all.

  • i agree. too street like. not meant to be sang like that.

  • they were singing the r&b rendition originally performed by Lauryn Hill

    They were great

  • not doubting the talent in this group, dont get me wrong, they are probably very very good at what they do. But they just may have ruined bohemian rhapsody. Adding hiphop beatbox stuff to this song is not cool guys. this is a classic, and im sry to say but i was embarrased for you guys the whole time i watched this. having that said, very talented group none the less.

  • This would have been much better if the lead singer had done it solo. Even so, this is still the perfect example of technically excellent singing with no soul.

  • In an odd way, i actually kinda like it.. :)

  • Wow not good i mean i bet it works for hip hop and r an b songs but not this one nor any classic songs

  • i really don't know how i feel about this....cuz the original was great and should never be changed...but i like some things in here...but it feel so different

  • Freddy Mercury is rolling in his grave :(
