Jonathan Groff In Glee’s Bohemian Rhapsody

One of the most exciting things I’ve ever done…” tells Jonathan Groff pertaining to Glee‘s production of Bohemian Rhapsody. This is a continuation of my Bohemian Rhapsody mania started with this post. I state it again and again, Vocal Adrenaline’s production of the song and Groff’s outstanding (yet coined heartless) solo performance is a stand out.

I couldn’t agree more to what the people in the video said. Groff, though admitting he isn’t a trained dancer, did his moves well. Jesse St. James is a well-played Glee character. I believe he deserves to be part of the next season. I vote Groff over Charice. If only I have that power.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody‘s a timeless piece of classic. I didn’t quite notice it until it was sung in Glee‘s season finale in a grand-like production by the Vocal Adrenaline. It got me interested and curious on how, why the song was created — the grand mix of different types of genres into one piece of long and emotion-driven music.

It turned into an LSS (last song syndrome) and then it tinkered my brain into doing some research. Thanks Wikipedia for the information. Bohemian Rhapsody is a song created by Freddie Mercury and was sung by famous band Queen. Mercury created the song out of his own personal emotions and frustrations (I believe). Mercury had a very interesting and challenging life: famous, homosexual, AIDS. Read the Wikipedia article for this song and you’ll see how long it took them to produce such magnificent piece.

What interests me most is the composition of the song — being divided into six sections, namely: introduction, ballad, guitar solo, opera, hard rock, and outro. My favorite parts are the hard rock and the outro, though the opera I find very intense too.

Vocal Adrenaline (Glee) gave justice to the song. Jesse St. James (Jonathan Groff) is a very good (broadway) singer. VA’s choreography is undeniably amazing.

For now, I won’t get the hang out of Bohemian Rhapsody. Queen’s version is on my iPod now. :)
