Not many artists are bold enough to take on a song as legendary as Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, but the a cappella group Pentatonix didn’t back down from the challenge. Using nothing but their voices, they created a mind-blowing cover of the iconic track earlier this year. The moment they released it, the internet exploded! Their video quickly went viral, gaining over a million views and sending fans into a frenzy over their unbelievable vocal skills.
At first, it’s hard to imagine how a song as complex as Bohemian Rhapsody could be performed with just five voices. But Pentatonix didn’t just pull it off—they made it their own. Lead singer Mitch Grassi even looks like he’s channeling Freddie Mercury himself, rocking a thick mustache and a stylish black blazer that looks like something Mercury might have worn on stage.
One of the most jaw-dropping moments in the performance is the famous section that begins with the lyrics, “I see a little silhouetto of a man.” This is where Pentatonix truly shine, transforming their voices into a full orchestra.
Their harmonies layer perfectly, creating an explosion of sound that feels as big as a full rock band. And then there’s Kirstin Maldonado—when she hits that soaring high note, it’s nothing short of breathtaking. It’s at that moment you realize: they didn’t just cover Bohemian Rhapsody—they created something spectacular.
If you’re hungry for more Pentatonix magic, you should check out their version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. This cover is their most-watched video, racking up an unbelievable 756 MILLION views! Once you hear their stunning harmonies and emotional delivery, you’ll understand why so many people can’t stop listening.
Covering a song as legendary as Bohemian Rhapsody was a big risk, but if any a cappella group could do it, it had to be Pentatonix. And if you’re lucky enough to have tickets to their US tour later this year, you might just get to experience this incredible performance live.
