Hi everyone! I wanted to stop by and say that I do believe these individuals as well as the entire group are incredibly talented and obviously so sweet. Like I said in the video, I will definitely watch more from them (the FULL GROUP) in the future! Also, I have learned from you all that this was at the end of a long show and just for fun, which does change things a bit for me. Please remember to be kind in the comments, as I can only give you my personal opinion, in the moment, and the whole point of this channel for me is to learn and grow every day. I cannot wait to hear another number by the full group so I can give a more complete reaction!! Thank you all!
I know it's not christmas, but to show of their voices Oh Holy Night is truly amazing.
Scott and Mitch used to have a side youtube channel called Superfruit. On that channel the two of them did a cover of Defying Gravity you should DEFINITELY check out. It was sort of Mitch's birthday gift to Scott because the two of them were supposed to see Wicked for Scott's birthday but then Scott was sick. The video is super silly and goofy but the vocals are insane
Scott is a baritone with an amazing range. Kirsty is a mezzo-soprano. Their "guy with the high voice" is Mitch Grassi, countertenor, also with an amazing range, who wasn't in this clip; he sings Elfaba's part in Defying Gravity in the Superfruit version, which you should totally watch. Matt is their bass now (it's Avi in the older stuff). Kevin is their beatboxer -- one of the best beatboxers on the planet -- who's a tenor when he sings, and also plays cello in some of their videos.
Most people start with their version of Hallelujah; I like the official video best, but the live version from one of their Christmas shows is great too, and a lot of people like it because you can see pretty clearly that Scott is taking over the bass line while Avi's singing the second verse; there's occasionally some argument about that. :)
After that, there's a bunch of great stuff. Their Daft Punk Medley is awesome, and got them their first Grammy. Their version of Bohemian Rhapsody freakin' rocks; Brian May linked it on his socials when it came out, with one word: "Enjoy." Sound of Silence, Imagine, Evolution of Music (awesome!), Evolution of Michael Jackson, bunch of other "Evolution" videos; they do medleys better than anyone else. I love their version of Can You Feel the Love Tonight, it's completely amazing. If you've heard the Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli version of The Prayer, you *have* to hear Pentatonix's version, holy sheep. They did a collab with Lindsey Stirling on a great version of Radioactive (you get to see Kevin play the cello in that one) and with Todrick Hall on Wizard of Ahs. Oh, and if you're a Mitch fan at this point (which you will be) you have to watch the live performance of Aha! at the Star Vista in Singapore -- great intro by Avi (one of his speaker-blowing bits), then the rest is Mitch + jet lag + multiple Red Bulls = their *very* best live performance ever. :)
Oh, and Pentatonix pretty much *owns* Christmas music. My favorites are Carol of the Bells (subtitled "Mitch, Breathe!") and The First Noel, but they also made 12 Days of Christmas fun again, and made Over the River worth listening to. They won their second Grammy for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy -- a group with no instruments does a brilliant job on a song with no words. Matt (the new bass guy) does a wonderfully fun job on You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch. Little Drummer Boy, Angels We Have Heard On High, Joy to the World, I Saw Three Ships, O Come All Ye Faithful... Just wander through the catalog and you can't go wrong.
Thank you so much for all the info! Can't wait to dive in!
Pentatonix has been around since 2011, with one member change in 2017 (the bass singer). There’s no official lead singer, but Scott (the blond guy you just saw) is credited as putting the band together and is their default spokesman/frontman.
The members are:
Scott Hoying (baritone, huge range) *seen in this video
Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo soprano) *seen in this video
Mitch Grassi (tenor/countertenor)
Kevin Olusola (tenor/beatboxer)
Avi Kaplan (2011-2017) / Matt Sallee (2018- present) (bass)
Some of their most popular songs are Hallelujah, Daft Punk, Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, The Prayer. Some of their original songs include Sing, Run to You, Can’t Sleep Love, Be My Eyes.
TX Kristen. Another Pentaholic
the guy with the cell phone is helping them film the video. Also, Scott is well known for forgetting words, and since this is audience engagement and not one of their "scheduled" pieces, he probably didn't have the teleprompter to help out.
Only one member has changed. Avi the bass left on good terms and Matt also bass Joined the group in 2017. They are all very close friends. ❤
I was at that show in Orlando, and being part of that TikTok was so much fun! AJ met up with the group in Orlando so he and Scott could go to Epcot and hear the song they wrote for Luminous: The Symphony of Us. He's the one who helped them arrange this mashup for their TikTok. They didn't have much time to prepare, but Scott forgetting lyrics is typical. (We find it endearing.) He's actually the baritone of the group. Kirstie is a mezzo-soprano. This concert was towards the end of their tour, and they were all pretty tired by that point. It was still amazing to hear live. Be sure to check out Hallelujah, The Sound of Silence, or maybe The Prayer if you want to hear the whole group. 🤍
That is so fun! Thank you for sharing!
They do this at all of their concerts. They teach the crowd their portion and film a TikTok. It is SO much fun for the audience... And yes, they do this in the fly and it is a different song each concert.
Scott is the baritone of the group but covers the bass line and can also go pretty high.
Their concerts are huge and often sold out...and amazing accomplishment for a "bunch of chior nerds" singing acapella. Oh, and they have won 3 Grammys. You should react to more of their songs. Most people start with Hallelujah, Daft Punk and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Woo girl this was a brave one to dive into without knowing them 😂 their concert tiktoks are fun to participate in. The one I went to they recreated their vrial chior performance when they were in highschool like 13+ years ago 😍 these are usually decided upon maybe the day before or the day of the show 🤯 really hope you check out other videos. The Live Vevo studio of Kiss from a Rose is just *chef's kiss*
You should watch Superfruit ( Scott and Mitch from Pentatonix) sing Defying Gravity.
They are by far the best A cappella group in the entire world !
Well...that will depend ont your personal preference. Because Voiceplay....they do stuff as well, stuff that no-one can match. czcams.com/video/mI8hPSSZSL4/video.html
The guy in the background was filming it for TikTok so he could capture the crowds participation. PTX involves the crowd no matter where on the planet they perform.
hi ,there are so many great voices in music that I think it's all about personal taste of music . I mean whether it's pop voices, opera voices, musical voices, metal/rock voices and all other genres, there are incredibly good singers in all of them.I love the song that they encourage the audience to join in , Must have been an unforgettable concert.
If you want to hear another live crowd participation video, check out Hallelujah at the Hollywood Bowl. Beautiful!! Also, you have a huge choice of videos to watch. To get a clear idea of them, watch The Prayer or O Holy Night. If you don't find them incredible, I'd be shocked! Thanks for checking this one out!
Where have you been. Pentatonix has been around for a decade and a half And have multiple Grammys.
Interestingly enough, Ben Folds was one of the judges on The Sing-Off in 2011 when a very young and new Pentatonix competed against other a capella groups and eventualy won that season, launching them to their current success (3 Grammy awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a reputation as the go-to group for things like Grammy tribute shows, and so on), I would seriously suggest that you check out either some official videos, like Sound of Silence or the recent A Kiss from a Rose, or some numbers from one of the best recent concert recordings, the 2022 Hollywood Bowl performance (90s Dance Medley, for example). ETA: Scott Hoying is the group's most extraverted member and in some ways is their public face. Annnd ... he forgets lyrics. Famously and frequently. BUT he also has an Emmy for musical arrangement and choir direction. He's done a bunch of solo work recently, with his own music. He is officially the group's baritone but has a huge range.
Do some more Pentatonix, please!
You really need to watch O Holy Night for a showcase of the extreme talent that these 5 individuals have
Thank you for asking for more information and for being willing to hear more from Pentatonix. Sorry, sometimes we Pentaholics get a little defensive if someone dares to imply that they are not absolutely perfect at absolutely everything! But we kind of got that way for a reason. I suggest Amazing Grace, any of their Christmas music (starting with Carol of the Bells), a quirky favorite of mine called Come Along, and their classic "greatest hits," Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody. I just subscribed, because I like your way of analyzing, and I look forward to seeing your next review of PTX. (By the way, they aren't called "THE Pentatonix." Just "Pentatonix.")
Come Along is delightful!
You will not be disappointed with this group.
We Pentaholics like to suggest you listen to Halleluja, the official video first. You are going to be amazed.
I just subscribed for more and more Pentatonix
O and greetings from South Africa
You asked for a favorite Pentatonix song ... that's actually impossible because they are so different from song to song and each one they do seems to be better than the last. The songs most reactors start with are "Halleluiah", "The Prayer", "Imagine", "Amazing Grace", "White Winter Hymnal", "Mary DId You Know", "Daft Punk", and "Jolene". The last two won Grammys !!!! Others that show their versatility are "Can't Stop Us", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Can You Feel the love tonite", "Radioactive", "Havana", and I could go on and on and on ........ ENJOY THEM !!!!! :)
Mitch is the counter tenor... but they are all endowed with the most amazingly wide vocal ranges!!!
LOL! They create a tiktok with audience participation at every concert. They do something different every time, and usually Scott thinks of it during the day before the show. Scott actually made my audience sing O Fortuna in archaic Latin at the show I attended last Summer. It was definitely not the best one ever, LOL. Scott is technically a baritone but he covers the bass line when the bass (Formerly Avi Kaplan, currently Matt Sallee) has the lead, and he also has a beautiful high range. All five of them have huge ranges, but I'd say Scott has the biggest. Scott is something of a "Leader" though they don't technically have one, it's his personality. He does most of the talking, though Matt and Kevin do a lot of crowd hyping, and all five speak at every show and interview. I love hearing a professional singer's opinions about Pentatonix. You can literally throw a dart at their catalog and pick anything and they won't let you down, (they do covers, originals, Christmas music, collaborations, and solo side projects). If I were to suggest some to hear them all shine, I'd say two of their newest releases, Vevo live cover of "Kiss From a Rose," and "O Holy Night" are great choices. I also think you'd enjoy their covers of "The Prayer" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (rather than the official video, I suggest the "Pentatonix Live 2021 Yale Livestream" version because it's easier to see what everyone is doing). All of these are post-Avi in the Matt era. To hear Avi, you might enjoy their biggest hit "Hallelujah," "Daft Punk" (their first Grammy winner), "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (Their second Grammy winner), and I also love his parts in their original songs "Love Again" and "Light in the Hallway." Like I said, just throw a dart, it's all wonderful. I can't wait to hear what you make of them!
This was their audience bit for TikTok. They did a different thing each show of their tour, led by Scott with 1 or 2 other members sometimes joining. So this mashup was planned but maybe just a couple of days prior and was the only time they performed it on stage. And yes Scott admittedly has trouble with lyrics lol.
Can’t really go wrong with any song in their catalog, old or new.
Besides incredible musical (singing, arranging, composing, etc) abilities they are great stage performers and wonderful with the audience. They love their fans, their fans love them and it shows. Scott (the tall blond whose voice you inquired about) can cover the bass line when Matt is singing the lead and he can also get up high with Kirstie and Mitch. But it's not just Scott, they all have amazing ranges.
I “discovered” PTX about a year ago. As a kid, I lived in the New York metropolitan area, so spent a fair amount of time watching musicals, concerts, opera, etc. Pentatonix is my favorite group EVER. Every member has an amazing voice, including Kevin the beatboxer. If you want to hear his voice, watch the Official Video of Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone). His solo starts at 4:09.
Fun fact, someone commented that Mitch Grassi’s vocal range is 7 octaves, matched only by a handful of others, although when I did a little digging on the internet, others thought his range is only 6 octaves. His voice is most often compared to that of an angel by reactors on CZcams. I’ve also noticed most reactors mention they have goosebumps, especially the first time listening to him. 😊
Although Scott sings many of the leads, he is more like the frontman as all Pentatonix members can and do sing leads as well. This was done for a TicToc during a break. Scott is famous for forgetting lyrics and as teleprompter support during the shows.
Recommend their new video for Kiss From A Rose.
This concert was at the Amway Center in Orlando on December 8th. I had floor level seats about 25 feet from the stage. The entire concert was fantastic!!
Their concerts are amazing! The guy with the cellphone is recording the TikTok. 😂😂
Kirstie did a turn as the female lead in Kinky Boots on B’way. I like your note on Kirstie’s whisper. They do 90 minutes on stage and tour a lot, so what comes out, comes out on a given night. Scott’s got a range that ought to be illegal from D2 to whatever that was. Check out Kirstie in their version of Shallow: studio or live.
Ya, that was just a break moment where they involve their audience. Just 2 of 5 and really isn't them in full wall of sound force. So many songs, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" Their live from Vevo studios this year, " Kiss From a Rose", All of their Evolution videos, Atiana Grande, Beyonce, Rihanna, Michael Jackson, also, "Imagine" Soooo many. Theor originals "Run to You", " Happy Now", Literally hundreds of songs,
that guy was filming tiktok for them. they do songs or dances on tour and post on tiktok
You might enjoy their cover of The Prayer, and also their recent remake of their previous cover of O Holy Night. (We Pentaholics love their Christmas music year round). I’m subscribing in hopes of more PTX.
I love Pentatonix. I hope you react to more. You should hear them all together. I Love "The Prayer ," "Hallelujah " is their most popular.
Oh, that is funny. Scott NEVER remembers the lyrics, so that critique falls to the wayside. We all accept that and love him anyway. This was on the fly because they have monitors facing them when they are singing their sets so Scott can see the lyrics. Hahahhaaa!
They're a really great group. Lots and lots of songs in their catalogue, some covers and some originals....all of them superb.
Some suggestions to try them out:
Sound of Silence, Love Again ( original), Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk medley, 90's Dance Medley, The Prayer, Can't Hold Us., No, Problem.
I subbed for more PTX reactions. Hoping you’ll listen to more that will give you a real feel for their amazing voices. Try The Prayer, The Sound of Silence, Kiss from a Rose, Oh Holy Night, Hallelujah the live Christmas Show to name a few. .
When you begin a happy plunge down the a cappella rabbit hole, three other groups deserve your attention (along with PTX): Home Free, VoicePlay, and Voctave.
Ari went solo in 2017. He is on youtube. Matt is the new bass. Check out Daft Punk
This was a filler mid concert while others were getting changed/re-hydrating etc.
This was fun, but far from the incredibly beautiful performances by the whole group. Sometimes, reactors have copyright problems trying to post PTX reactions, but their cover of Leonard Cohen's "Halleleujah" ( czcams.com/video/LRP8d7hhpoQ/video.html ) seems to escape the YT police fairly well. It's also one of the very best they've ever done!
She is doing that on purpose - you obviously haven't listened to them very much - Scott is not "the high voice in the group", that is Mitch Grassi and the beatboxer can also sing very high notes
do try another performance :)
It sounds like Pentatonix may not be to your taste. They are too pop for some traditional a capella people (and the last few years they have been experimenting with instruments and more vocal processing). And they are too "show choir" for many in the pop music community. But they have a lot of fans and their audiences have been steadily growing. Here's another live video with audience participation, from their 2022 Hollywood Bowl concert, their famous cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" -- czcams.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/video.html
Subscribed for more PTX reactions. Suggest reacting to Hallelujah (Official Video), which has had 737 million views plus 14 million for their sing-along (lyrics) version.
If you want to react to a Pentatonix song, look no further than Hallelujah; it has only a few hundred millions views. Other songs I enjoy from them are The sound of silence, Mary did you know, The 90s medley...and so much more.
They had one member change... They lost their original bass, Avi Kaplan, and replaced by Matt Sallee.
At their concert here in Fort Worth this past December they played to a sold out crowd of 14,000. And they were amazing, again. And Mitch is their counter tenor. Scott still has an amazing range, but he can't hit the high notes that Mitch does.
Check out their covers of The Prayer and O Holy Night. Amazing vocals.
so scott can sing high but the high parts of pentatonix are usually mitch
You need to listen to all singers and not just two of the five. Not a fair reaction and assessment of their talents.
⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡ What took you so long!?!
Haha I have no clue! But more to come soon!
Any chance you could react to Voiceplay - Valhalla calling czcams.com/video/mI8hPSSZSL4/video.html
Also a capella, but way cooler ;-) With Geoff being a low bass, there's stuff happening I could not even imagine. And the rhythm section...no instruments, all voices.
The guy with the iPhone is recording because they use that for presenting on TikTok
Good reaction - definitely not a fair view of their music. Try more - Hallelujah is a good place to see what each can do.
This is not a good example of them.
Try The Prayer!
Some live performances that show off their on stage abilities. First is back in 2016 when Avi was still their bass. This is their Pop Spring performance of 5 songs. Two of the of 5 songs czcams.com/video/7GMHqYxpnzk/video.html. From this last Christmas tour, 'O Holy Night' czcams.com/video/CRGcVHw08Ss/video.html. Also from the Christmas tour, though not a Christmas song, Seals 'Kiss of a Rose' I hope you'll react to these and more. They have 13 years worth of songs, and it all started on 'The Sing Off' 2011. I was fortunate enough to hear this life 3 days before Christmas 2023!
