Entertainment bohemian rhapsody Flash Mobs
This wildly viral performance of Bohemian Rhapsody may be the best flash mob you’ll ever watch
We have never been more disappointed to have missed a flash mob than since we saw clips of this high-energy performance of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, which took place in Paris courtesy of pianist Julien Cohen and his cohort of ridiculously talented musicians.
We can’t even imagine how much planning and rehearsal that must have taken – but it was definitely worth every minute, because they not only wowed Paris, but also took the internet by storm.
Julien provided the cast list, to give credit where it’s due.

Mickey Callisto, the singer and star of Britain’s Got Talent who did a brilliant job of stepping into the shoes of the man himself, Freddie Mercury, shared his gratitude for the opportunity.

Julien, who is one of this year’s top ten YouTubers in France, posted the clip on his other social media accounts – including Twitter/X – where people tried to express how much his flash mob had blown them away.

Thank you for doing this. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched it (and reposted). It is the epitome of joy. So musically accomplished and such a wonderfully staged piece of theatre.

I've watched this four times already today.
It really is joyous and a little reminder of how social media can still bring the sunshine.
I've not seen anyone point out yet that the singer is Mickey Callisto and the young guitarist is Olly Pearson. Both were on the last series of… https://t.co/YBMca5WSCZ

This is super cool. The kid who is playing the guitar, Olly Pearson, got two gold buzzers on Britain’s Got Talent. His grandfather taught him to play. Gotta watch this. Amazing 11 year old talent. https://t.co/Pn7UhqKFe5 https://t.co/AbQI1eX888

It wasn’t Julien Cohen’s first rodeo …nor, indeed, his first flash mob. Here’s a slightly more understated, yet still hugely impressive, performance in Rome.
Be sure to find Julien on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, as well as YouTube and X, so you don’t miss any of his future posts.
