If you’re a Queen fan, you are among many. Many talented fans too! The band just did this really cool project with YouTube, called YOU are the Champions. The project requested fan videos featuring fans performing three of their songs: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Don’t Stop Me Now” and “A Kind of Magic”.
The fans delivered.
The band received about 10,000 total submissions from 120 countries, with 1822 dancers, and many in costume and playing various instruments. Each song had a different focus, with the focus of “Don’t Stop Me Now” being a pre-choreographed dance. The videos were edited together to make three new fan music videos to the songs.
Check them out below! Might even see someone you know.
