포레스텔라는 2018년부터 활동한 크로스오버 그룹입니다. 보헤미안랩소디 뿐 아니라 다른 노래들도 엄청납니다 Shap of you, time in a bottle, je suis malade, bad romance, despacito 등등 셀 수 없이 많은 명곡을 기가 막히게 불렀고, 본인들 오리지널 노래도 많이 있습니다. 꼭 들어보세요. 멤버중 하나인 고우림은 현재 군복무 중이에요. BTS 처럼요. 25년5월19일 제대할 예정이에요. 그래서 지금은 3명이 간간히 활동하고, 개별 활동도 하고 있어요. 이들 멤버는 각자 커리어도 엄청납니다. 이 그룹은 크로스오버에 맞게 성악, 락, 뮤지컬 뿐 아니라 다양한 장르의 노래를 소화하고 있어요. 저는 여러번 콘서트를 갔다 왔는데 이들 노래 실력에 매번 감탄하고 있어요. 이들은 스스로도 음악적 능력이 뛰어나서 거의 모든 노래들을 편곡하고 각자 파트를 배분하며 화음,코러스 등을 구성해요. 대한민국에 bts만 있는게 아니라 포레스텔라도 있어서 무척 자랑스럽습니다. 이미 전세계에 포레스텔라의 팬덤이 많이 있어요. 우리 포레스텔라가 꼭 빌보드, 그래미에서 공연하는 날이 왔으면 좋겠어요.
당신의 취향에 부합할거라 생각하는 곡이 있습니다 대부분의 사람들이 아는 곡입니다 'Phantom of the opera ' 포레스텔라 멤버중 강형호 일명 피타라고도 불리는 그가 부른 곡입니다 물론 커버곡입니다 포레스텔라 개인 곡들도 한번씩 들어보셨으면 좋겠어요 포레스텔라는 개인들 역량도 뛰어나서 솔로로 부르는 것도 좋아요~~ 하지만 확실히 그들이 함께 일 때는 제 귀가 더 호강하긴해요😊 The show must go
I think it is a valid statement to say that Forestella version suits your taste better than the original because Freddie rarely or even never to sing the operatic part live before. But Forestella always did the operatic part live in their concert! So I recomend you guys to react to their rendetion of Je Suis Malade, Time in a Bottle, and Inner Universe. The original singer of Je Suis Malade, Sir Serge Lama, French, even compliment Forestella for their beautiful and sad version of the song!
The original was so cool sounding but Forestella's cover brought me to tears. I finally understood the emotionally excruciating pain Freddie was trying to tell the world. I cried so hard. This is by far my favorite version!
퀸은 정말 대단하죠~~ 그들을 뛰어넘을 수 있는 그룹이 얼마나 있겠어요~~^^ 그렇지만 이 곡 특히 라이브 버젼만큼은 당연코 포레스텔라가 부른 곡이 제 귀를 즐겁게 합니다 그리고 오페라 버전은 퀸도 라이브로 하지 못한 부분이죠~~ (안타깝게도 퀸의 앨범 녹음은 다른 사람들 도움을 받은 부분이죠😂) 퀸의 버전도 포레스텔라 버전도 모두 모두 좋아요😊
Son maravillisos" los reyes de la armonía " en " Je suis malade" superan todo lo que estas bien,y sus armonías e individualidades destacan!!! Les recomiendo fuertemente esta canción !!

I am crazy about Forestella. You are only at the beginning of the journey with these 4 super talents. Pitta is an amazing rock artist who writes many of his songs. He composed Forestella’s Snow Globe. These guys are all amazing individually and work hard to always bring the best performance. Enjoy the ride!
I think Freddy would have absolutely loved this and would have been so, very, very proud. ❤ It's not about comparison, or one is better than the other, both are wonderful. I suspect he would have been thrilled, appreciated and celebrated it. Such a compliment and testiment to him and Queen's brilliant music.
Amo Forestella... E estava ansiosa pra ver a reação de vocês,pois admiro o conhecimento e a sinceridade com que fazem as reações e análises... Forestella transformam tudo que cantam e sempre divinamente... Grande abraço do Brasil ❤
You guys are great and you shouldn't feel bad for saying you like this version better. It is no insult to Queen. I am a fan of Queen, but when I heard this version a while back, it touched me differently. They really did a magnificent job with it. Forestella is amazing! The one you call "the rock voice" sings solo under the name of PITTA. You should check out his version of Phantom of the Opera. He sings both parts.
This cover was way back in 2018 while Bad Romance was 2022 version both delivered on live stage on a competition called Immortal Songs 2. Bohemian Rhapsody is the first rock song presented. Forestella declared their intention to go into rock opera to fellow musicians during the 2021 Phantom Singers All Star where they sung Inner Universe. This song is an OST of the movie Ghost in the Shell. Please check this out for this will provide a background of the creative expression in Bad Romance. Welcome to the Forestella Universe😊
I believe that Freddie himself would have loved this cover. He had an appreciation of operatic vocals. I love it too but Freddie and Queen still have the number 1 place in my heart.
I'm glad you both liked Forestella and thank you for your analysis. It is also worth seeing "For Life", "Moonlight", "Words from the Wind", "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" and "Champions" performed by them
I totally agree with your opinions. I always listen Forestella's version Bohemian Rhapsody. I love your dynamic and moving reaction! Yes! they are incredible!
Hola chicos! Sabía que aunque es fin de semana, tocaba madrugar....sólo por sus reacciones chicos, hermoso! porque son muy profesionales y educativas, me parece hermoso que compartan con tantos seguidores, que éste es el mejor cover de esta masterpiece de QUEEN, valió mucho, gracias! Saludos desde mi pacífica, pequeña y hermosa: 🇨🇷COSTA RICA🇨🇷
I've been a lifelong Queen fan and had the privilege of hearing them live in 1979. Bohemian Rhapsody is the Song of All Songs, and Forestella's version is even better than the original, if I may say so myself. It goes without saying that I'm a big fan of Forestella and I couldn't wait for your reaction to this, as well as their other performances. I'm one of those people who keep pushing you...😉 By the way, in order - Ko WooRim - classically trained basso profondo, curretly serving military service, Bae DooHoon - university-educated musical actor, baritenor known for his husky voice and great emotions in singing, Kang HyungHo - angelic countertenor/rock (he goes by the name Pitta in solo performances) and Cho MinGyu - classically trained tenor leggiero and leader of the band. A little warning - Koreans write their last name first and then their first name, so they are WooRim, DooHoon, HyungHo and Mingyu. And finally - see you in Budapest, of course I adore Dimash! Greetings from Croatia P.S. If I may suggest for the next reaction - Je Suis Malade ❤
Thanks for the reaction! I wasn't a big fan of BR the song itself until I heard the Forestella version. They really have a talent to elevate the quality of song and make it so beautiful!
It is no insult to say this version is "better", it is also a matter of personal preference so it's fine either way. I personally think this is what Queen had in mind, Forestella just understood the assignment and executed this masterpiece perfectly ❤ Queen, Freddie.. would've been proud 💯
Amazing 👏👏 huge fan of Forestella. The bass is koo woorim, the baritone / tenor Bae Doohoon, the rocker / countertenor kang hyung ho and finally Cho mingyu. Hope you react more to these 4 talented guys. Thank you
Forestella! U-huuu! Looked forward for this! Thanks guys! Best reaction/analysis ever! ❤❤❤❤ I already listened to this cover unaccounted times but I had goosebumps all the time with your reaction! Reminded me the first time I listened to it! 🥰
I always loved Queen ….But then I met Forestella . Ruined me forever …I prefer their versions of all their Queen covers. They just did THE SHOW MUST GO ON as a temporary trio because the bass singer left for his mandatory military service til May 2025. Very much a LIVE Performance at their encore concert January 2020 after their successful 2019 Mystique concert tour . Mystique is their 2nd album released in 2019. Forestella does the full quadrant singing live ..,whereas Queen never did..they had to use a video …left the stage and returned led by Brian May. Forestella paying beautiful homage throughout to Freddie’s work, but definitely making this their version with the arrangements etc. I looooove this !!!!Thanks so much for reacting!!!! ❤❤❤
@@throgaPerhaos try another live performance of it? I know there is one that is after a brilliant live performance of Inner Universe(the Ghost in the Shell)..like a 2 for one or you could split them.
Forestella is magnificent! Such talent! They are also wonderful artists individually. Please watch Pita ( Kang HyungHo) doing Phantom of The Opera. It is EPIC! Thank you for your skilled reactions to all these talented musicians!
in the ending, in order of singing: Bass: Ko Woorim, opera singer (28, currently in the military) Baritenor: Bae Doohoon, musical actor (37) Countertenor: Kang Hyungho, rock singer (35) Tenor: Jo Mingyu, opera singer (33)
I have been waiting for this! Thank you for your reaction. Forestella said they found their musical identity as a group after this cover. Before this cover, they focused more on classical quartet but now they pursue more rock opera. And you started your review from the edge of rock opera, Utopia. 😂
Yes, FORESTELLA's incredible reinterpretation of this iconic song is a MASTERPEACE and an absolute tribute to Queen. Different, not directly comparable, JUST THEIR OWN and ABSOLUTELY EQUIVALENT.
To me, this version is the best cover song ever. I highly recommend their "Time in a Bottle" as well. You'll encounter another amazing cover and dynamic rearrangement. And if you're interested in another great Korean singer, I strongly suggest listening to Sohyang's "Bridge over Troubled Water." Every one would confidently declare her an artist vocal coaches simply cannot miss! She is definitely world class top tier singer : )
In order we have Ko Woorim (the basso profundo) Bae Doohoon (the musical actor) Kang Hyungho ( the rocker/soprano) then finally Cho Mingyu (the classical tenor). Just remember they say their surname first.
Todo lo que Forestella interpreta tiene un gran nivel de excelencia y siempre con respeto a la versión original pero con su propio estilo!!! Forestella Forever ❤️❤❤❤ Amor desde México 🇲🇽
You guys are actually one of the first people I’ve watched react to this version admit that you like it better or that it equals the original which I was happy to hear because I entirely agree. I think too many people are afraid to admit it but you guys see how good and impressive this cover really is. Loved the reaction ❤
Hola. Nunca me gustaron los covers.....hasta que 18:16 escuché aForestella. Primero fué Hijo de la luna, seguida por Bohemian Rapsody . No podía creer que me gustaran más que las originales, pero me hicieron sentir como si las escuchara por primer vez. Tengo 61años
position order Members Forestella: (Ko Woo Rim Bajo Operístico. Kang Hyung Ho: Contratenor.Roker,Cho Min Gyu (Líder ): Tenor Operístico,Bae Doo Hoon: Tenor/Barítono Welcome to the Forestella world you have many to see that you can analyze JesuiMalade,scarborough fair, Time in a bottle, Champions, Parlapiu Piano ( ost Godfather), Hijo de la Luna (son of the Moon), We are champions,Balada de la Tompeta , "Nella Fantasia" Korean song "Silla's Moonlight" If I leave, The Face that I Miss,Phantom of the opera,Smoothth Criminal,
Great reaction! They are super awesome!!! Their annunciation is so good! I love their voices when they sing in Spanish as well. Very talented for sure!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is my treat for completing my to-do list today. I was just wondering yesterday if you would both be reacting to Forestella again anytime soon. And here this comes like a gift. 😁 During the reaction I was crying and laughing at the same time: tearing up at the beauty of the arrangement and laughing at your reactions. If I remember only one concert at the end of my life it will be Forestella's, which I was privileged to attend with my parents. THIS was the song that introduced us to them.
Their arrangements are always stellar, Je Suis Malade is stunningly beautiful, if you are unfamiliar with Lara Fabian’s version, it would be a good idea to listen to her first because she has raised the bar So High, I haven’t heard an adult professional singer touch that song since, but again their arrangement and conveyance of the emotions, not that Lara’s isn’t incredibly emotional, just incredible. Thanks Richard and Johnny, yes the symphonic feel is what gets me, more interesting musically, especially for those who Love harmonies. My take on the meaning is:you have the beginning explaining I Killed a Man, then it transitions to a trial, similar to Gilbert and Sullivans Trial By Jury, then back to the individual talking about how they feel. It’s quite an intricate song and if I hadn’t sung Trial By Jury, I wouldn’t have that as a reference. This was fantastic ❤.
FORESTELLA ARE AWESOME. Oh, just a 'heads up' the Family name is first.. their given/spoken name with friends and family is 2nd. . (DEEP RICH BASS VOICE) Ko WOO-RIM is 1st singing '...nothing really matters...' (BARITONE/TENOR SMOOTH VOICE) .' Bae DOO-HOON is 2nd singing '...anyone can see..' (FULL ROCK TENOR/COUNTERTENOR) ALSO CALLED PITTA on RUclips too. Kang HYUNG-HO is 3rd singing. '...nothing really matters...' (GOLDEN LYRICAL SOOTHING TENOR) Leader of the group. Cho MING-YU sings '...nothing really matters to me...' Individually they have such distinctive and gorgeous voices, but when they harmonise together it is totally sublime. Best wishes from Wales.
Nice to meet you~ I’m so excited and happy to be able to meet Forestella’s songs through you. I would be happier if you reacted to all Forestella's songs~^ Thank you so much!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
This is an incredible “cover” , here’s my bold statement, I actually prefer it to the original, the operatic part is live, the emotion of the lyrics is really portrayed, it’s more of a story, it’s difficult to explain exactly why this hits differently, but it definitely does. So excited! Glad to see you back with Forestella. Dimash with The Super Vocal Boys is a medley, and it’s awesome, but being a medley there’s only a snippet of several songs.
Los conocí con hijo de la Luna que es en español me sorprendió por el idioma, pero esta en particular wow me cautivó por completo, simplemente súper geniales como logran hacerlo mejor, me encantan sus reacciones y bueno soy ARMY de 52 años, me desvelé viendo sus reacciones y me encanta como siguen las personas convirtiéndose en ARMY y sobre todo lo profesionales que son ustedes, nueva suscriptora BORAHAE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 seguiré con mi lista de ver sus videos saludos desde México 🇲🇽
21:45 Go Woo-rim (bass) 21:48 Bae Doo-hoon (tenor, pop vocal, musical vocal) 21:53 Kang Hyungho (tenor, soprano, rock vocal) 22:00 Cho Min-gyu (tenor, classical vocalist, Forestella leader) Go Woo-rim is more famous in Korea as the husband of figure skating gold medalist Yuna Kim at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Yuna Kim is still the most loved female athlete in Korea.
Why is it Go Woorim, when his agency and merchandise references to him along with all Forestella credits are Ko Woorim? Ads featuring him have Ko Woorim… but HyungHo is always Kang , not Gang? Just curious…when I search under the name Go Woorim hardly anything comes up.
@@hildommar In Korean notation, 'ㄱ' can be used with G and K. “Go, Ko” and “Gang, Kang” are both correct spellings. However, the closest pronunciation to Koreans is "Go" and "Gang".
@@flowersandtrees꽃과나무 Thank you for the explanation👍… so when sharing their name spelling to new fans and music reactors internationally , we can use spelling that matches their albums and music videos and youtube videos which is Ko Woorim and Kang Hyungho but add that the pronunciation is slightly more like ‘G.’ I had someone new ask me why there wasn’t as much information for Go Woorim when she tried to search him and was confused when i said She had to search under Ko Woorim.She’d been told his name was spelled Go Woorim … Now i can give your explanation… thank you 🙏 😊
Since you apparently love symphonic/rock, progressive, creativity, first-class level, peak harmonies and Queen... you should definitely also react to FORESTELLA'S ORIGINAL "SNOW-GLOBE". Another MASTERPEACE and a MUST. By the way, a composition by Kang Hyung Ho aka PITTA Forestellas Rock-Voice and "Countertenor". Not only an outstanding vocalist but also a first-class singer/songwriter. (Vocalization of Snow-Globe and Utopia are also under his direction). You'll be surprised and delighted again.
Oh, and another one if they haven't seen it is Deep Purple's "Child in Time".... from late 1960s. Musicians at their peak, creating a masterpiece, that always leaves today's young in awe.
It's actually kind of nice that you put the video on transparent. That way I could focus on the notes, the blends, the tonality, the hold, and the overall musicality of this song. I think watching the dramatic video would have distracted me. This is an amazing cover. And I agree with both of you that it's a real toss-up as to which is the best. I don't think there is a best. I think there is the original which is classic and has its own flavor. And then there's this which will become a classic because it has its own flavor. And I want to continue to listen to both versions throughout my life. Now I can go and watch the video having focused on the vocals with you two. Thank you.
THANK YOU! That's actually a wonderful perspective we will share for those who are quick to being frustrated when not seeing the video during the reaction :)
Have you seen the Dimash Queen Medley? I don't see it on your reactions, but maybe I missed it. Definitely different than Forestella, but in usual Dimash fashion, some of his notes are so powerful even though he blends so well with the other musicians.
YES: they are proof how poliphonic sound of human voice impacts to human soul - it is angelic - voice is the most beautifull instrument (because of the soul in it).
❤❤❤ first is baryton profondo: Ko Woorim, the second is Bea Dohoong one of two tenor, After is Kang HyungHo Conter tenor and soprano. The last one is Cho Mingyu a tenor. So woorim and mingyu have studied classical opera. Bae Dohoong was a musical actor and Kang was a biochimist.
IN ORDER STANDING ON STAGE - dramatic basso profondo - Opera trained KO WOORIM (Currently on military service till May 2025), Countertenor & Rocker KAND HYUNG HO - No formal training - (was chemical engineer) Rock singer under PITTA Light Tenor ( trained opera / Tango singer) Leader of group - CHO MINGYU, Musical actor (currently staring in musical Rent) - Baritone / Tenor BAE DOO HOON, The name Forestella is a combination of "forest" and "stella", which means "star" in Italian, Fans called Soopbyeol - deriving from "soop" and "byeol" , which mean "forest" and "star" in Korean. I have yet to hear a cover which is not only as good as it is quite often better than original. (after nearly 6 years of following them) OST and original songs also fabulous. Hope you can react to more songs asap regards Michele, Perth, W Australia.
Last line up is Profundo basso Ko Woorim,a trained opera singer,.Bae Doohoon baritone tenor, musical theatre actor , Kang HyungHo also has rock act PITTA …SELF-TRAINED tenor soprano and former research chemist , Cho MinGyu, trained opera singer and leader leggiero tenor. They are a Crossover group, who refuse to be confined to a particular genre and sing in several languages.

I am pretty sure that Freddie would absolutely approve.

So I recomend you guys to react to their rendetion of Je Suis Malade, Time in a Bottle, and Inner Universe.
The original singer of Je Suis Malade, Sir Serge Lama, French, even compliment Forestella for their beautiful and sad version of the song!
포레스텔라 Reaction 감사합니다.

퀸은 정말 대단하죠~~
그들을 뛰어넘을 수 있는 그룹이 얼마나 있겠어요~~^^
그렇지만 이 곡 특히 라이브 버젼만큼은 당연코 포레스텔라가 부른 곡이 제 귀를 즐겁게 합니다
그리고 오페라 버전은 퀸도 라이브로 하지 못한 부분이죠~~
(안타깝게도 퀸의 앨범 녹음은 다른 사람들 도움을 받은 부분이죠😂)
퀸의 버전도 포레스텔라 버전도 모두 모두 좋아요😊

Yes this performance is live and no studio production unlike what people know and hear from Queen's version so kudos are well deserved.
나는 포레스텔라의 이 노래를 들을때마다 퀸에게 헌정하는 기분이 든다.
어쨋든 이분들 포레스텔라 시리즈 듣는거 보고싶다. 소향도 시리즈도
포레스텔, 소향, 박정현, ...
곡의 해석을 잘하며 그것을 노래에 잘 담아서 표현해내는 가수들이죠.
I'm glad you both liked Forestella and thank you for your analysis. It is also worth seeing "For Life", "Moonlight", "Words from the Wind", "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" and "Champions" performed by them
I totally agree with your opinions. I always listen Forestella's version Bohemian Rhapsody. I love your dynamic and moving reaction! Yes! they are incredible!
And, remember English is not their first language.
Their french is perfect, individually too. Listen Les Feuillesl Mortes by Worim. Greetings from Belgium🇧🇪🍀🍀🍀

It goes without saying that I'm a big fan of Forestella and I couldn't wait for your reaction to this, as well as their other performances. I'm one of those people who keep pushing you...😉
By the way, in order -
Ko WooRim - classically trained basso profondo, curretly serving military service,
Bae DooHoon - university-educated musical actor, baritenor known for his husky voice and great emotions in singing,
Kang HyungHo - angelic countertenor/rock (he goes by the name Pitta in solo performances) and
Cho MinGyu - classically trained tenor leggiero and leader of the band.
A little warning - Koreans write their last name first and then their first name, so they are WooRim, DooHoon, HyungHo and Mingyu.
And finally - see you in Budapest, of course I adore Dimash! Greetings from Croatia
P.S. If I may suggest for the next reaction - Je Suis Malade
❤
Thank you for all of this info! We hope to meet you in Budapest :)
Thank you so much for great comments. Have a nice day. 😊
Yay, another Dear! I also think this version is better than the original and suggested Je Suis Malade, Dears minds think alike 😂❤️.
@@janetlawson4482 Haha, you're right! By the way, can I be Dear and SoopByeol at the same time? Because I am! 😂

On Scarborough if you fade the video back like you did here AND put across it "blocked for copyright" it should be fine.
@@elanaiam we actually blacked it out completely and itt STILL got blocked just for the audio :(
thank you!
@@throgaPerhaos try another live performance of it? I know there is one that is after a brilliant live performance of Inner Universe(the Ghost in the Shell)..like a 2 for one or you could split them.
@@throga😢
Forestella is magnificent! Such talent! They are also wonderful artists individually. Please watch Pita ( Kang HyungHo) doing Phantom of The Opera. It is EPIC! Thank you for your skilled reactions to all these talented musicians!
in the ending, in order of singing:
Bass: Ko Woorim, opera singer (28, currently in the military)
Baritenor: Bae Doohoon, musical actor (37)
Countertenor: Kang Hyungho, rock singer (35)
Tenor: Jo Mingyu, opera singer (33)
thank you :)
I have been waiting for this! Thank you for your reaction. Forestella said they found their musical identity as a group after this cover. Before this cover, they focused more on classical quartet but now they pursue more rock opera. And you started your review from the edge of rock opera, Utopia. 😂
Fantástico! Muchas Gracias, 🎺🎻🎷🇪🇸👏👏👏
정말 오래 기다렸어요 이렇게 리액션 볼수있어서 기뻐요 정말 감동받은 서사적인 노래에요 포레스텔라의 웅장한 표현에서 퀸을 향한 존경심이 느껴져요
“The show must go on” by 3members of Forestella without the bass.
We miss the bass but it still is a powerful performance by the other members.
Yes, FORESTELLA's incredible reinterpretation of this iconic song is a MASTERPEACE and an absolute tribute to Queen. Different, not directly comparable, JUST THEIR OWN and ABSOLUTELY EQUIVALENT.
Bucket list need to see them live ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Forestella is always the best!!! 💞💕💜💙💚💛❤
To me, this version is the best cover song ever. I highly recommend their "Time in a Bottle" as well. You'll encounter another amazing cover and dynamic rearrangement. And if you're interested in another great Korean singer, I strongly suggest listening to Sohyang's "Bridge over Troubled Water." Every one would confidently declare her an artist vocal coaches simply cannot miss! She is definitely world class top tier singer : )
Yesss
That was exactly same with my recommendation, Please react to "Time in a bottle"
and Sohyang 😊 ❤❤❤
Incredible performance and wonderful reaction and analysis.
WOW! I loved it! Thanks for exposing me to them!💜💜💜
In order we have Ko Woorim (the basso profundo) Bae Doohoon (the musical actor) Kang Hyungho ( the rocker/soprano) then finally Cho Mingyu (the classical tenor). Just remember they say their surname first.
thank you :)
Todo lo que Forestella interpreta tiene un gran nivel de excelencia y siempre con respeto a la versión original pero con su propio estilo!!! Forestella Forever ❤️❤❤❤ Amor desde México 🇲🇽
You guys are actually one of the first people I’ve watched react to this version admit that you like it better or that it equals the original which I was happy to hear because I entirely agree. I think too many people are afraid to admit it but you guys see how good and impressive this cover really is. Loved the reaction ❤
오랫만에 리액션 올려주시내요..포레스탤라 영상 많이 올려주세요😊👍
I am so excited for your reaction to this. This cover is what helped Forestella to start gaining international fans.
1. Bariton- Go woorim, 2.Hansome man - Bae doohun, 3.Rocker, $oprano- Kang hyungho, 4.Last man(classic voice)- Cho mingue
Love Forestella, they never disappoint really love the tune to The Office too
Hola. Nunca me gustaron los covers.....hasta que 18:16 escuché aForestella. Primero fué Hijo de la luna, seguida por Bohemian Rapsody . No podía creer que me gustaran más que las originales, pero me hicieron sentir como si las escuchara por primer vez. Tengo 61años
Nella Fantasia…Je Suis Malade. …Champions….Angel….and many more😂😍👍👍

Great reaction! They are super awesome!!! Their annunciation is so good! I love their voices when they sing in Spanish as well. Very talented for sure!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is my treat for completing my to-do list today. I was just wondering yesterday if you would both be reacting to Forestella again anytime soon. And here this comes like a gift. 😁 During the reaction I was crying and laughing at the same time: tearing up at the beauty of the arrangement and laughing at your reactions. If I remember only one concert at the end of my life it will be Forestella's, which I was privileged to attend with my parents. THIS was the song that introduced us to them.
Glad you caught this!! Thanks for the comment.
Their arrangements are always stellar, Je Suis Malade is stunningly beautiful, if you are unfamiliar with Lara Fabian’s version, it would be a good idea to listen to her first because she has raised the bar So High, I haven’t heard an adult professional singer touch that song since, but again their arrangement and conveyance of the emotions, not that Lara’s isn’t incredibly emotional, just incredible. Thanks Richard and Johnny, yes the symphonic feel is what gets me, more interesting musically, especially for those who Love harmonies. My take on the meaning is:you have the beginning explaining I Killed a Man, then it transitions to a trial, similar to Gilbert and Sullivans Trial By Jury, then back to the individual talking about how they feel. It’s quite an intricate song and if I hadn’t sung Trial By Jury, I wouldn’t have that as a reference. This was fantastic ❤.
FORESTELLA ARE AWESOME. Oh, just a 'heads up' the Family name is first.. their given/spoken name with friends and family is 2nd. .
(DEEP RICH BASS VOICE)
Ko WOO-RIM is 1st singing '...nothing really matters...'
(BARITONE/TENOR SMOOTH VOICE) .'
Bae DOO-HOON is 2nd singing '...anyone can see..'
(FULL ROCK TENOR/COUNTERTENOR) ALSO CALLED PITTA on RUclips too.
Kang HYUNG-HO is 3rd singing. '...nothing really matters...'
(GOLDEN LYRICAL SOOTHING TENOR) Leader of the group.
Cho MING-YU sings '...nothing really matters to me...'
Individually they have such distinctive and gorgeous voices, but when they harmonise together it is totally sublime.
Best wishes from Wales.
Thank you so much!
Nice to meet you~
I’m so excited and happy to be able to meet Forestella’s songs through you.
I would be happier if you reacted to all Forestella's songs~^
Thank you so much!!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
This is an incredible “cover” , here’s my bold statement, I actually prefer it to the original, the operatic part is live, the emotion of the lyrics is really portrayed, it’s more of a story, it’s difficult to explain exactly why this hits differently, but it definitely does. So excited! Glad to see you back with Forestella. Dimash with The Super Vocal Boys is a medley, and it’s awesome, but being a medley there’s only a snippet of several songs.
Bold but true👏👏👏❤
@@hildommar thank you 😊
And folks, this is a live performance.
Los conocí con hijo de la Luna que es en español me sorprendió por el idioma, pero esta en particular wow me cautivó por completo, simplemente súper geniales como logran hacerlo mejor, me encantan sus reacciones y bueno soy ARMY de 52 años, me desvelé viendo sus reacciones y me encanta como siguen las personas convirtiéndose en ARMY y sobre todo lo profesionales que son ustedes, nueva suscriptora BORAHAE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 seguiré con mi lista de ver sus videos saludos desde México 🇲🇽
🎉🎉🎉 Amazing Forestella ♥️♥️♥️
Ричард, это и моя любимая версия! Обожаю Форестеллу❤❤❤
21:45 Go Woo-rim (bass)
21:48 Bae Doo-hoon (tenor, pop vocal, musical vocal)
21:53 Kang Hyungho (tenor, soprano, rock vocal)
22:00 Cho Min-gyu (tenor, classical vocalist, Forestella leader)
Go Woo-rim is more famous in Korea as the husband of figure skating gold medalist Yuna Kim at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Yuna Kim is still the most loved female athlete in Korea.
Yes. When Woo-rim entered the military last October, the Korean news headlines read "the husband of Kim Yuna." Made me smile.
Thank you so much. Love Forestella.
Why is it Go Woorim, when his agency and merchandise references to him along with all Forestella credits are Ko Woorim? Ads featuring him have Ko Woorim… but HyungHo is always Kang , not Gang? Just curious…when I search under the name Go Woorim hardly anything comes up.
@@hildommar In Korean notation, 'ㄱ' can be used with G and K.
“Go, Ko” and “Gang, Kang” are both correct spellings. However, the closest pronunciation to Koreans is "Go" and "Gang".
@@flowersandtrees꽃과나무 Thank you for the explanation👍… so when sharing their name spelling to new fans and music reactors internationally , we can use spelling that matches their albums and music videos and youtube videos which is Ko Woorim and Kang Hyungho but add that the pronunciation is slightly more like ‘G.’ I had someone new ask me why there wasn’t as much information for Go Woorim when she tried to search him and was confused when i said She had to search under Ko Woorim.She’d been told his name was spelled Go Woorim … Now i can give your explanation… thank you 🙏 😊
❤❤❤❤ more of them please
Since you apparently love symphonic/rock, progressive, creativity, first-class level, peak harmonies and Queen... you should definitely also react to FORESTELLA'S ORIGINAL "SNOW-GLOBE". Another MASTERPEACE and a MUST. By the way, a composition by Kang Hyung Ho aka PITTA Forestellas Rock-Voice and "Countertenor". Not only an outstanding vocalist but also a first-class singer/songwriter. (Vocalization of Snow-Globe and Utopia are also under his direction). You'll be surprised and delighted again.
Oh, and another one if they haven't seen it is Deep Purple's "Child in Time".... from late 1960s. Musicians at their peak, creating a masterpiece, that always leaves today's young in awe.
It's actually kind of nice that you put the video on transparent. That way I could focus on the notes, the blends, the tonality, the hold, and the overall musicality of this song. I think watching the dramatic video would have distracted me. This is an amazing cover. And I agree with both of you that it's a real toss-up as to which is the best. I don't think there is a best. I think there is the original which is classic and has its own flavor. And then there's this which will become a classic because it has its own flavor. And I want to continue to listen to both versions throughout my life. Now I can go and watch the video having focused on the vocals with you two. Thank you.
THANK YOU! That's actually a wonderful perspective we will share for those who are quick to being frustrated when not seeing the video during the reaction :)
Love Forestella! Glad you found them! I LOVE Dimash, but this group is incredible. I wonder what a Forestella/ Dimash colab would sound like.
Have you seen the Dimash Queen Medley? I don't see it on your reactions, but maybe I missed it. Definitely different than Forestella, but in usual Dimash fashion, some of his notes are so powerful even though he blends so well with the other musicians.
Вы правы, Димаш прекрасно исполняет песни группы "Queen", особенно Queen Medley"! Интересно было бы посмотреть на вашу реакцию
Thank you for your best reaction ❤
YES: they are proof how poliphonic sound of human voice impacts to human soul - it is angelic - voice is the most beautifull instrument (because of the soul in it).
❤❤❤ first is baryton profondo: Ko Woorim, the second is Bea Dohoong one of two tenor, After is Kang HyungHo Conter tenor and soprano. The last one is Cho Mingyu a tenor. So woorim and mingyu have studied classical opera. Bae Dohoong was a musical actor and Kang was a biochimist.
Ko Woorim is bass
Ko Woorim basso profondo
IN ORDER STANDING ON STAGE -
dramatic basso profondo - Opera trained KO WOORIM (Currently on military service till May 2025),
Countertenor & Rocker KAND HYUNG HO - No formal training - (was chemical engineer) Rock singer under PITTA
Light Tenor ( trained opera / Tango singer) Leader of group - CHO MINGYU,
Musical actor (currently staring in musical Rent) - Baritone / Tenor BAE DOO HOON,
The name Forestella is a combination of "forest" and "stella", which means "star" in Italian, Fans called Soopbyeol - deriving from "soop" and "byeol" , which mean "forest" and "star" in Korean. I have yet to hear a cover which is not only as good as it is quite often better than original. (after nearly 6 years of following them) OST and original songs also fabulous. Hope you can react to more songs asap regards Michele, Perth, W Australia.
thank you for his info!!
Great reaction! Forestella always do the best. Covers and originals are amazing! Please continuos whit them!!
AMAZING performance. Great reaction ❤❤❤🇧🇷
Graciaaaas por reaccionar a FORESTELLA!!!!!! Son grandiosos!!!!! Para mí, al día de hoy el mejor cuarteto crossover que hay, los Amoooo!!!!!! 😍
Hijo de la Luna is So magical, mystical.
Last line up is Profundo basso Ko Woorim,a trained opera singer,.Bae Doohoon baritone tenor, musical theatre actor , Kang HyungHo also has rock act PITTA …SELF-TRAINED tenor soprano and former research chemist , Cho MinGyu, trained opera singer and leader leggiero tenor. They are a Crossover group, who refuse to be confined to a particular genre and sing in several languages.
I also like this versión over original. Another one from Freddy they nail it, The show must go on. Highly recommended.
The Show Must Go on, don't miss this one, Time in a bottle you will love it.
thank you!!
@@throgaNo Worries! Really interesting reaction, guys! Thank you…I learned something more watching through your eyes and ears.❤
Forestella, glorious! ❤❤❤❤
Yes, I like this more too, and you guys, you are the best!!! Thanks Richard & Johnny Love your reactions and analysis
They are fabulous
I had tears in my eyes
