But seriously, the fact they produced this video themselves with $400, in a closet and a kitchen!! UNBELIEVABLE! They are truly amazing. Their talent is absolutely unsurpassed.

      I agree. Kevin's vocal percussion is amazing. However, Avi often gets overlooked. People notice when the bass kicks in initially and then lose track of the fact that he's working with Kevin to add bass to Kevin's beats. Avi's atmospheric additions are also crucial to the amazing sound of the whole group. Just look at how much harder Kevin has to work when Avi is singing the lead. This is why Shawn Stockman dubbed the pair the "Meat and Potatoes" of the group.

      Kevin is an instrumentalist first. Avi would also backup and take over if required the kick and the high hat etc and I assume Matt now does the same thing.

    We call that Kirstie's half smile; I think it's just the way she smiles.
    I agree with you that her voice is angelic, though it's generally Mitch's voice that people describe that way. Everyone in Pentatonix, past and present, possesses a formidable talent in her or his own right, but as Pentatonix the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
    Yes, Kevin is the beatboxer. In my (admittedly unqualified) opinion he's probably the best beatboxer on the planet.

    The Grammy they won was renamed to "Best Arrangement, Instrumental Or A Capella" from "Best Instrumental Arrangement" that year just so they could be nominated. It's the same Grammy they won the next year for Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. Their last Grammy was for the performance (not arrangement) of Jolene with Dolly Parton.
    This video going viral was also what got them bumped up from the small subsidiary label, Madison Gate, to RCA where they remain to this day.

    You really need to check out their “Evolution of…” videos. They did a handful of them (Michael Jackson and Beyoncé are my favorites) and they are ALL fantastic, so pick your favorite! They’re all done in one shot, basically live. Their transitions and arrangements are incredible, the beatboxing is astounding because of all the transitions and tempo changes, and they’re so well rehearsed it’s flawless! I believe they only do UP TO to 4-5 takes to try to get it just right, but they probably get most done in 2-3 I’d be willing to wager. Watching them film those in front of a couple mics is what pushed me WELL into Pentaholic territory!

It also helps reveal how much Kirstin does that people don't usually notice (because its more noticeable in that one).

    This Pentatonix vocal arrangement of 5-7 DP songs has been played by instrumental ensembles including at least one college marching band and the French Army Band on Bastille day in 2017. Pentatonix members have the talent to flawlessly sing their brilliant arrangements to stunning effect, but that's the thing, their arrangements are just genius. So genius that they inspire not just choirs and vocalists, but instrumental groups of various types to duplicate them.

      Won't allow me to edit.... wanted to add, you said the two magic words; Mitch Slapped.
      If you'd like to experience the ultimate Much Slap, I personally call it the Holy Mitch Punch, watch the live Aha at the Star Vista in Singapore. It is a fan recorded video, so you know that they are for real, no fake, they just are that amazing. The fan that recorded seemed obsessed on Mitch so it's mostly him in the shot. You don't see Kevin at all, but he is there. In the very beginning he was putting Beyoncè away (his cello that he lovingly named Beyoncè), but you hear him in the main portion of the song.
      Some people lovingly call it the Mitch and Avi Show because it shows them off the most. Avi blows the speakers going to the basement, so sound quality not the best, and Mitch was on fire, killing it.
      Mitch+severe jet lag+2 chugged red bulls= what you'll see in the video. You'll thank me later.

    Since you have an appreciation for Avi's voice, you should react to his solo music. His most successful song so far, "Change on the Rise", which was released in March 2019, 2 years after announcing he'd be leaving PTX, is a great representation of what he's created on his own. He does all vocals and sounds in the piece (aside from a bit of synth organ and tambourine in the bridge). His entire catalog is excellent, but you might also react to his latest, "First Place I Go".

    Glad you enjoyed this, and I love that you're now getting a taste of their INCREDIBLE diversity. They can literally take songs from ANY genre and not only do them justice, but manage to put their own twist on them and give us a few musical "surprises" in each one.
    I think you would enjoy seeing their renditions of Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody, and maybe check out a few of their original songs as well. A few of my personal favorites are Coffee In Bed, Love Again, and Happy Now.
    BTW, there is also a video of them doing this Daft Punk medley in a private performance, live and off-mic, and it honestly sounds almost exactly the same. It's crazy. They are literally changing the a cappella game.

    If you loved Mitch's voice on this, then you have to see him in one of their first original songs, which has sort of the same theme as this one. The song is LOVE AGAIN and Mitch is a beast the way he works those high notes.
    Kevin makes an amazing 808 bass drop that sounds like the real thing. I lost my mind and started dancing, as if I was in the club. The video is styled very similar, which is their aesthetic choice. It has a Steam Punk Aliens theme. Trust me...you'll love it.

      @@bobcieslinski Due to a brain damage I´m not out much checking the music stage. Can only listen to music in good days. Looked them up here at CZcams and they sounds good. Have listed them for later. Thanks for the tip!

    I do hope that is the real story behind this exciting and dynamic recording. The skill and visual effects are hypnotising.

    I love that their general philosophy is that if they do it in a video, they want to do it just as well live. That's amazing to me.
