Everyone loves Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody! Here I am at the end of the session at the King Aelfred Lodge 7487 Gala Dinner, and I was invited to play my piano arrangement of Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a wonderful evening, loved playing it, and also there was great food too! So, ending Bohemian Rhapsody was fun, and you can see how everyone gets into it! And a standing ovation to end! Oh - isn't it funny when my dad corrected and said it had 100 Million Views, the room went a little quiet? 😀
It's only redundant to tell you what a great pianist you are, but I'm doing it anyway. I frankly was really-irritated at the people who disrespected your talent by chattering away during your performance. I't like they can't stop blabbing even for a few minutes, and probably about trite topics. I guess it's just their nature. Well-done, Cole! :o)
@@ColeLam Wow! a response directly from "The Man!", King Cole. LOL! THX! You're being really polite, but I can see the ladies in the background gabbing away at their table. (Maybe dad can get a cordless mic.) I guess I was raised differently, to show respect for people. While I'm on this rant ;o), I feel the same about the people who keep walking in front of your dad's vidcam at the train station. (grrrr!) I noticed in your profile that one of your skills shown is "singer", but a quick visual search of your (mere) 300+ videos didn't show any vids, although I did see the amazing "play by ear" ones (Hanuman Chaleesa - dope!) Where can I hear a vid of you singing? Lastly (trivia) my daughter in law's family name is "Lam". (Be glad you don't have "Phuc" as a last name.) LOL!!! :o)
The audio kind of suggests I am performing for people to listen but its not like that. I was providing background music for the event during the meal so it was really in addition to the event. I would have expected the guests to talk and chat as it was their event not mine. Everyone was extremely nice and very kind and generous 🙂
Just proves no matter the occasion….EVERYONE knows Bohemian Rhapsody! No matter the occasion or dress…it brings out the fun in people! Love the 2 Ladies in black. Your rendition was spot on! Loved it!!
There’s a reason everyone knows Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddy Mercury was a genius. It’s truly something to behold when a crowd connects unexpectedly through a shared love of great music.
Assuming that wasn't water in their glasses, you have to know how very, very talented and gifted you are to command the attention, respect and applause of a group of adults with a snoot full, gathered in a party atmosphere. Really Cole, this was an inspired and excellent performance of the wonderful BR. Of course it's so much better on a grand, but given the situation, that instrument did very well, it must have known it was your fingers. Loved the video, as you know I always tell you how much I love to see people appreciating you and your talent. aa,Lyb,ssah
The attention of everyone with the exception of the two blonde wildebeasts in the background who carried on laughing and giggling without an ounce of respect.
Love to all the people who are interactive with the song. It's just a beautiful music piece that will never forget. You have did a nice job to play the hole song for all of the poeple in the room! Congrats :)
Lovely job Cole. To the ones chit chatting I wanted to yell through my screen, 'youre hearing a once in a lifetime performance before he's world famous! Enjoy it" 😅
That. Was. Awesome. To say that would be an understatement. I can hear Freddy in my head right now saying "fabulous job darling" My hats off to you sir.
I had just watched someone explain how "other" chords can be used in a song. Listening, I think I heard a few but they fit right in and your playing is really good. Thank you. In this case, very nice you got your audience so involved.
Cole and his Dad's special tribute to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration this week. Perfect for this first ever occasion .... 70 year monarchy. Deepest congratulations.
I would never call something like this background music this is just so beautiful it’s deserved to be played with ears open and your soul ready. This inspires me to learn the piano and someday be as a great palaver as you! MUCH LOVE ❤❤
Always wonderful, Freddie would be so proud. Seeing the dark haired lady on the table turn and watch you throughout the performance is a tribute as to how you capture the soul of the song. Thank you.
Dude… whoever you are there… Playing the piano. I know it’s a keyboard, but you played it like an acoustic piano. I understand. That was freakin amazing. And I know… I have a masters in piano performance. I can recognize. Bohemian Rhapsody is a massive undertaking. You did an amazing job at making it like the original. I heard a few expressions of you in the mix. Good stuff! Keep on brother. You ROCK!
Now, I do not know what is more amazing :-) Cole's performace, which shows that a good song is still good in a different arrangement, or that this particular song is so well known it makes people sing regardless of the occasion/place it is played in :-) Queen would be happy I guess :-)
Cole you're a Master when it comes to anyone who Covers Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm very proud of how you made it your own. I hope for every gig you perform you receive more and more offers! You're still the best! 💛 🎹 🎶 💯👏👏👏👏❤️☝️
Hi Cole ,besides your wonderful skills on the piano,you are a very gifted writer!Your description of the event put me there in the room!I think, that someday you may add writer or professor to your resume you are truely a brilliant and authentic young man!Thanks Neil
It's a wonderful rendition of a phenomenal song! I think the best part though is all the love and appreciation from the audience! Heart warming and affirming to see people living together in admiration and peace!
Back in the 90's was at a breakfast buffet with my family (Parents, Siblings, Nieces and Nephews) at a semi fancy restaurant. Had a guy playing piano as background music. He then starts playing Pink Floyd's Brain Damage from Dark Side of the Moon. My wife and I look at at other and start laughing and sing along. My young niece hears us and starts repeating "lunatic is in my head". Best breakfast ever.
Yes!!!a lot of yes!!!reminiscing that moment when the Queen,sung and till now..And you Mr. Cole Lam with 15 yrs of age..my tears rolled..😭😍,love you dear...God bless..🇩🇪
Cole, came across you videos a few months ago. Just a joy to listen. I live in the US, but pass through St. Pancras every couple of months. Hope someday to catch you playing in person!
You.look very nice. ..the power of queen and a great arrangement what's not to love. Espically when Cole Lam plays it. Oh I fogot...loved the Bow at the end. Nice !
What an overwhelmed participation and appreciation on your playing of the most popular song Bohemian Rapsody in your own arrangement that QUEEN especially to FREDDIE MERCURY for having of more than 100millions fans loving the song and your playing congratulation for a very amazing audience whom you were invited to play for them how they loved your mood as you played you deserved a standing ovation for a performanced which was perfect.
Oh my gosh, that was so funny! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 Your playing was magnificent, as always, a wonderful interpretation. Their reactions, though, were killing me. Since you had to concentrate on your keyboard, I know you couldn't watch their antics till later. This is definitely one I will be saving to watch over and over again.
Absolutely beautiful playing well done more talented then some older people that’s shows how much hard work you put in which is a good thing to see in this state of age
good on you, Cole. Whenever I seem to need a smile, your latest video shows in my feed. Love it !! I look forward to your US tour. I'll be there. Count on it !!

Fantastic!!!! I caught myself singing along to your masterful playing!!! Freddie would have loved this!!!!
The audio of talking comes from my dad's camera, so it is picking it up quite loud but actually it's not really.
@@ColeLam Wow! a response directly from "The Man!", King Cole. LOL! THX!

Barely a proof, this was filmed in UK after all. I get your point though.
This crowd is the generation that grooved to Queen the first time around-of course they all know the words! 😆
Nope. There is one person. My friend doesn’t know Bohemian Rhapsody, barely recognizes the name Queen. It’s upsetting
@@Ozloz ...I think your friend needs an intervention. Binge listen to Queen, starting with Bohemian Rhapsody. LOL 😂
@@SophieMia806 I will, she needs to be educated
There’s a reason everyone knows Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddy Mercury was a genius. It’s truly something to behold when a crowd connects unexpectedly through a shared love of great music.
I could hear Freddie’s voice from the piano this was fantastic
Have you considered a career as a Medium?
@@greeneyes-_- this is low-key funny 🤣
you do seances, Julianna? 😱
This kid is going places. What a legend.

So agree with you about the Grand. Ha ha! How wonderful if someone had trundled in a full size grand piano and let Cole loose on that!! 😄
@@alanluckystripesb3706 Cole would have absolutely owned that crowd.
There's a table that wasn't listening.
Too many ignorant people in that room.
The attention of everyone with the exception of the two blonde wildebeasts in the background who carried on laughing and giggling without an ounce of respect.
Like "Shout" gets everyone out on the dance floor, "Bohemian Rhapsody" gets people singing. Great job, Cole.
Love to all the people who are interactive with the song. It's just a beautiful music piece that will never forget. You have did a nice job to play the hole song for all of the poeple in the room! Congrats :)
Pretty darn sure Freddie's aura was sitting there next to you with a big 'ole smile on his face 🌝 BRAVO ✨
Lovely job Cole. To the ones chit chatting I wanted to yell through my screen, 'youre hearing a once in a lifetime performance before he's world famous! Enjoy it" 😅
I loved how they got into it and the two ladies sitting At the table who kept standing up singing apart was great
This song never gets old
thank you Mike Myers, you are a once in a generation talent
Love the 2 ladies faced to the wall having a blast
That. Was. Awesome. To say that would be an understatement. I can hear Freddy in my head right now saying "fabulous job darling" My hats off to you sir.
Every time I hear you play this I think of the time I saw Queen at the Boston Garden in 1982. Thanks for the memories Cole
Wow!
R.I.P Freddie Mercury and thank you for such a beautiful song that always brings tears to my eyes everytime
I told you, This song is a masterpiece. Don't ever put this song up against other songs. It stands by itself.
Outstanding job Cole. The sky is the limit for you young man, all the best.
You can be proud.Thanks.
Why do I cry every time I hear this song! 🙋♂️❤️
Love the ladies formally dressed, having a blast!🥰
I had just watched someone explain how "other" chords can be used in a song. Listening, I think I heard a few but they fit right in and your playing is really good. Thank you. In this case, very nice you got your audience so involved.
Cole - outstanding
One of the most powerful pieces of music from my youth. Now happy to sing along with my boys when they stream it in the car stereo. Fantastic.
Lucky guests in that event, having to listen live and in real time a world class performance. 😍
That brought tears to my eyes.
That was a real surprise performance and reaction by me.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Great song. I am so happy it was created during my lifetime.
Cole and his Dad's special tribute to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration this week. Perfect for this first ever occasion .... 70 year monarchy. Deepest congratulations.

Bohemian Rhapsody brings everyone to their feet!
Always wonderful, Freddie would be so proud. Seeing the dark haired lady on the table turn and watch you throughout the performance is a tribute as to how you capture the soul of the song. Thank you.
I noticed her also. Sad that the blonde at the same table, who was in her own universe, could not stop talking for one second.
Dude… whoever you are there…
Playing the piano. I know it’s a keyboard, but you played it like an acoustic piano. I understand.
That was freakin amazing. And I know… I have a masters in piano performance. I can recognize.
Bohemian Rhapsody is a massive undertaking. You did an amazing job at making it like the original. I heard a few expressions of you in the mix. Good stuff!
Keep on brother. You ROCK!
Wow!!!!🤩🥰💖
This young man is going places, much respect 🙌 👏
Cole Lam! Fantastic! 🤗
I love the way folks were swaying and singing along!
Now, I do not know what is more amazing :-) Cole's performace, which shows that a good song is still good in a different arrangement, or that this particular song is so well known it makes people sing regardless of the occasion/place it is played in :-) Queen would be happy I guess :-)
I have watched Cole's videos for several years. His version of Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite.
Cole you're a Master when it
comes to anyone who Covers
Bohemian Rhapsody. I'm very
proud of how you made it your
own. I hope for every gig you
perform you receive more and
more offers! You're still the best!
💛 🎹 🎶 💯👏👏👏👏❤️☝️
I honestly don't think I'll ever get sick of Bohemian Rhapsody thanks to the way you play and the way you get captivated by the music☺☺
Wow what a wonderful player. You one of the greatest young man. This 72 year old lady loved your playing. Thank you so much. Keep go.
He deserves standing ovation 👏🏻 ❤
Very attractive and talented young man, bright future ahead of you, keep up the good work, Cole!!!
This song always brings a smile…today especially when the well dressed adult stood and head banged at that certain part in the song -lol
Hi Cole ,besides your wonderful skills on the piano,you are a very gifted writer!Your description of the event put me there in the room!I think, that someday you may add writer or professor to your resume you are truely a brilliant and authentic young man!Thanks Neil
Neil, why did you thank yourself at the end - i.e. "thanks Neil." Ohhhhhhh, wo zhidao...you left out the comma!!! Now it makes sense! jk😂
Excellent job, Cole. As a young man now, you are carrying the torch for those behind you. Congratulations! You look and play as a professional.
How
So rude of those people to keep talking and laughing while Cole was playing for them.
What a great performance! And what a fun dinner crowd-especially Dancing Man and the Bouncing Galileo Ladies. Thanks for the laughs!
Fantastic playing. 15 years old ? WoW !
It's a wonderful rendition of a phenomenal song! I think the best part though is all the love and appreciation from the audience! Heart warming and affirming to see people living together in admiration and peace!
