- I messed up the audio capture. Sorry it was so off. I considered not uploading it but it was such a fun video. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for all the support. Dont forget to subscribe!
I do not own rights to this song or music video. This reaction is fair use.
Check the original video at - • Pentatonix - Bohemian ... - Hudba
Kyle: "I know it's going to be hard to keep it similar to the original"
Pentatonix: "We got this"
Fun fact: after they met for the first time as a group the day before their audition for the Sing Off and were then accepted to be one of the 16 groups that were to compete that season of the show, they all traveled back to the home town of Scott, Mitch and Kirstie, Arlington, Texas, to start practicing together before the season started.
They practiced in Scott's childhood home. Scott's mom, Connie, had picked them up at the airport. She was in bed while the kids practiced in the lower level. Scott's dad, Rick, had been at work. When he laid down in bed with his wife, he could hear them practicing. He asked his wife, "did Scott buy a drum kit?" Connie answered, "No, that's Kevin."
And.... this is my new favorite story lol.
Cassandra Hepp yes. New fav story.
Wow, I've never heard that story! Awesome. I'm from that same town and we are very proud of them!
@@totallyrandomtee8771 I heard it from the Parent Panel of Pentacon 2016. The story starts at about 47:00. I relistened to it and I got it a bit mixed up. It was Scott's mom that was at work, came home, went to bed and asked about the drumming coming from downstairs and Scott's Dad saying, "No, that's Kevin." LOTS of great stories from this panel!

Curandera99 wow where did you find this at?
“Jesus Mitch”
Literally me, every time that beautiful specimen opens his mouth
"that beautiful specimen" seems like the only way to describe him! Damn! I should NOT be so much in love with "that beautiful specimen" 😭😭
Adrianna Wingert Chandreyee Jackson yassss that’s so true Mitchie is my favourite beautiful perfect queen love him so much
@@johnnyjumbuck7795 same, love... If only more people knew him
I say Jesus Mitch and aww Kirstie is soo pretty every time. But that works equally well reversed if you think about it.
Except for the period where Mitch touted the Starved Witch look for a while.
And I'm not even gay. But I love seeing him and hearing her. And the reverse..
Whatever 🤷♂️
Adrianna Wingert I hadn’t even started watching the video yet and read your comment coz it’s at the top of the comment section - knew instantly which part you were talking about, didn’t need to wait for it! 😂
Your reactions are pure and not overly dramatic. They have done a lot of covers and original songs. Anything you pick will be mind blowing! I enjoy watch people discover how amazing Pentatonix is! I like your dog and beard.❤
Thank you!! Loki just turned 5 on the 3rd :)
Kyle Kholin Yes Kirstin would like your dog too. She has two huskies named Olaf and Pascal and a little pomsky. Named Floof who travels on tour with them a lot. She loves her doggies.
Hey another Okie! ;) Nice to meetcha! lol
Say Something is magnificent. Highly recommend that one.
Melanie PopKel YES! LIVE!!!
Melanie PopKel came here to day exactly this.
Melanie PopKel especially because show cases Kirstie
Yes! Although to be fair they don’t have any that aren’t good
Still my favourite, although I was hooked on the Sound of Silence for ages!
“Mitch makes a good Freddie...”
Someone post him that picture of Mitch! Lol
Listen to Marc Martel doing Queen. Hes soooo good.
They're all talented, but Mitch has a special place in me heart. He's so smol and talented and I love him so. ❤
The pure joy of listening to them for the first time is something I can’t recapture outside of watching other people hear them. Everyone has different reactions to songs based on their own experiences in life and with music. I like how you can focus in on what individual members are doing at specific times. One of the best things about Pentatonix is that all the members shine at different times on different songs. Scott and Kristin on “Shallow” are so incredible. Mitch’s voice SENDS me every time. Kevin may in fact be a wizard. Avi is just stunning everytime and Matt is really so good. You have a great journey ahead of you. Also as a fellow husky parent I had to sub!
Same
Same!
Shivani N Scott and Kirstie are really good together on Jolene
Sara Ibanez I completely agree!!
No-one is the Diva in Pentatonix….everyone plays to their strengths and, in true a capella style, the best voice for the particular harmony comes to the fore!
They GOT HIM ! WATCH HIS EYES, watch HIS eyebrows! Listen to what he says! THEY GOT HIM !
They are all fantastic singers individually (Matt also), and Kevin is a world class beatboxer. BUT... when you put them together... magic happens.
Yep, that's true!!
I think Kevin was working on his beatboxing when he was in China and performed with someone big. He is also a premed graduate from Yale and a classically trained cellist, and her performed at Carnegie Hall. Oh, he is fluent in Mandarin too.
True! I have no doubt they could have individual successful careers, however when they are together they create musical ART that is emotionally moving, perfectly arranged and unprecedented! I hope we have them around for many years to come! 🤞🏻❤️🤞🏻
lmao at your F%*$, Avi at the end. He can really hit you in the gut. You are actually quite a good reactor, and your comments sound like you are a musician, or at least someone who really loves music. Avi has some great leads with PTX, including The First Noel, Standing By and his bass part is amazing on Jolene with Dolly Parton, which won a Grammy. Kirstie also has some great early leads, including Say Something, Rather Be and Water, which she wrote. You can see that at PTX Popspring Water. Looking forward to more!
Please check out their take on “Imagine!”
It's an absolute MUST, I think! :)
I agree. This one is amazing
Also you should do “Gold” by pentatonix too! Awesome cover, Mitch leads
As a huge Queen fan I was skeptical when I heard Pentatonix did a cover, but when I heard it I knew Freddie would approve.
If you want to stay in the “earlier” days while hearing Kirstie then I’d recommend Say Something for sure! Or Rather Be. I personally prefer Say Something but either is fine!
Love your reactions! I think Pentatonix is amazing and love that you appreciate their talent. Keep you videos coming!
You really should watch Aha! live at singapore....Mitch is UNBELIEVABLE
Also, side note, Mitch and Scott have a youtube channel called Superfruit..theres some awesome content on their...esp their collab with Brian, mary, and jose....Rise.
Yes! Everyone that reacts to this one is amazed. The notes Mitch hits are amazing, but the bass notes Avi hits in the background are also impressive. Here's the link if you want to check it out: czcams.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/video.html
Please don't, the quality is horrible. I hate that recording with a passion. The sound and visual quality is for shit, it's exclusively of Mitch (the others are barely shown and basically not audible) and the only thing you really hear is his high note - and that sounds like a train screeching to a stop. If this was the first live recording I heard of them I'd think they are the worst live group ever. I don't understand why people keep recommending it!
@@daarianaharis Probably because we know what they really sound like, so can appreciate it despite the fact that it's filmed on a phone.
And dont forget the cover of LP's "Lost on you" by Scott and Mario Jose ;D. Mindblowingly good and very creative too.
100%
If you want to see kirstin shines check out rather be and say something
I think her Shallow solo is gorgeous too
Yes. Say something is amazing!
“Water” Live. (Yahoo/Live Nation is the best... IF you can find it!!)
Say something!!!!!
Yes, Say something is one of my favorites. It's beautiful.
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", "The Sounf of Silence" or "Where are you Christmas?" Are all strong Kirstie songs, and " Can You Feel the Love Tonight" is the most recent. I love Kirstie! glad you enjoyed this! and I'm glad you feel better!
Kirstie is awesome for sure. Been hooked on Sleigh Ride recently
The fact that Mitch can do the guitar sound without anything else than his voice and the megaphone was just put in there as a visual representation as to not freak out new comers and make it a bit more believable is just...sick.
For the first three or four years of their existence as a group, there were always a few fans who were all like, "yeah, but can you do 'Bohemian?'" So, in their last year of the original group, they answered the critics with a resounding, "As a matter of fact, yes, we can! Sure, we can do the ultimate rock ballad, we can take on the greatest aca challenge, and here it is!"
They made one of their best behind the scenes videos when they were shooting this.
They filmed all night long, nearly froze to death, Kevin fell off the couch and nearly smashed Avi, they had set disasters, and it really is as much fun to watch as this performance.
Do you have a link? I'd love to see that!
czcams.com/video/Q8ugJnIG_Lk/video.html
I have been a Pentatonix junkie since they were on The Sing-off. It has truly been a pleasure watching you discover how awesome this group is.
For Kirstie solo see Toddrick Hall's The Wizard of Ahhhhhs, featuring Pentatonix.
Richard D. Yes!
I think a lot of Pentaholics just love watching your journey discovering Pentatonix, so trust me, it's as much about you as it's about them!! Love your reactions!!
Love pentatonix reactions. Good choice. Keep them coming. Thx for sharing.
I love Pentatonix. And thank you for your TRUE, REAL reaction to them. Makes you very speacial. I couldn't make comments to truely justifies them
Kyle, you might want to watch their performances on The Sing Off, which they won. It was an a capella competition, and they needed five performers to compete. Kirsten, Scott, and Mitch had grown up together, and they found Kevin and Avi through friends and CZcams videos. You can really see how they progressed through the various songs as they got better and better while competing.
Their cover of sound of silence is jaw dropping. Glad to see you experiencing this group!
Kirstie has the lead in: Say Something, Rather Be, & Water (an original). She gained a lot of confidence during/after a 3 month stint on Broadway in early 2018, and has been more willing to take the lead since then. Also, I think she’s had some of the lead in every song they’ve released in 2019.
I agree. Here's a link to Kirstie singing "Water" live in Japan a few years back. So angelic. czcams.com/video/y-C095R_ccI/video.html
she also has her own solo stuff too
She really gained confidence, she takes solos now and she uses her lower register (which sounds heaven) more. Can't wait for more solo stuff from her
To see the new bass, Matt, watch their newer stuff: xmas songs from this year, Havana, New Rules/Are You That Somebody (mashup), and their own medleys- all the Evolution of ______. (Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, etc). Also, Superfruit’s Beyonce medley is AMAZING, same with the Rihanna ANTI medley, the two Hip Hop Goes Broadway, and Feeling Myself, where Mitch SLAYS the rap.
Also check out Kevin’s solo stuff, since you seem to like his beatboxing a lot. He does covers, but does EVERY PART by himself. Mind blowing. Just look for Kevin Olusola, aka K.O.
I love your reactions - I can see by your expressions that your comments are genuine - but the fact that you noticed that they are a close knit 'family', makes me appreciate your views even more, because you're noticing MORE than just the music and their talent. They are exceptional.
Try Ring of fire a cover by Home Free featuring Avi Kaplan.....the bass is amazing
Eileah T AGREED!!!
Third-ed. I "discovered" Pentatonix last April on CZcams, took my 12 year old son to see them at Madison Square Garden in May and then in watching PTX vids stumbled across Home Free (probably from the Ring of Fire vid). They are another group that are Acapella and are amazing and fun!!
aryiana1 Home Free also started their careers on the Sing Off season 4. PTX came back to visit the show that year.
That’s how they met Avi.
Avi did cameos/photo bombs (2ct) on this Home Free vid... czcams.com/video/1L8zGfKDCCY/video.html 🤣🤣🤣
Wait to you get to Say Something, Kirstin will blow your mind
They all have such fantastic range and talent that it seems like there are twice as many people most of the time. I love your reactions. They are exactly what my reactions were the first time. And the second... and the third...
Your reactions are so enjoyable to watch, so real! More!!
Witnessing you experience the greatness of PTX is my new favorite thing. They're just as incredible live too.
I really enjoy watching your reactions. They're pure and honest.
Pentatonix loves Queen and loves "Bohemian Rhapsody." They always wanted to cover this song, but they were afraid that they couldn't do it justice, so they waited until they thought they were ready. That took *five years.* Then they had to arrange it, choreograph, rehearse, figure out how to motorize a couch, and I don't know what all (since I'm not a professional musician), which took several more months at least, possibly a year. It was worth the wait.
_________________________________
In the early days, after PTX had their recording contract withdrawn just a week after the won it on _The Sing-Off,_ they did a lot of videos of the five of them sitting and singing on someone's couch, so the couch is taking them on a trip down Memory Lane.
The starry sky is a tribute to Brian May, who has a doctorate in astrophysics.
The four shooting stars are for the four members of Queen.
The picture of all of them lying together on the couch is a reference to the cover art for Queen's _Sheer Heart Attack_ album.
Pentatonix *always* respects the music and the original artists. Where they improve on a song (say, John Lennon's "Imagine") they do so in a way that the original artist couldn't do him or herself but would absolutely approve of, because they make the song more itself.
Glad you're feeling better.
It's good you are going in the direction you are because you can watch their evolution. They have gotten so much better as they've matured and gotten more experience. They were already incredible when they first started off but they have just improved so much since then.
Also, did anyone else hear a warble sound when he started the video?
You're real fun to watch reactions because you know what you're talking about when it comes to singing. You can appreciate the craft more than most someone who isn't a musician.
I love watching people reacting to this amazing talent. I am such a Pentaholic! Can’t get enough of them. Great reaction.
Had a great time watching you react. Thanks man.
On top of everything you hear Kevin do in beat boxing he's concert proficient at cello and saxophone, speaks four languages and was top of his class in pre-med when he threw that all out the window to try out for Pentatonix. Just over-all an admirably talented guy.
You have to listen to Home Free- Ring of Fire, featuring Avi Kaplan. He helps hit a few REALLY low notes in that one. Then, you will suffer ignominiously if you never hear him do Change On The Rise. The best thing to come out of his mouth.
I think it was one of his advisors who told him he was talented and medicine will always be there and to go for it.
You have to listen to their sing off competition, you really see them shine and blow the judges minds.
Pentatonix - Sound of Silence, and Home Free - Ring of Fire
Great reaction! Can't wait for the next one 👍😊
Love your dog ! Thanks for bringing us your reactions ! We Pentaholics love it. They rock this, filmed in a parking lot, and "live" they sound the same. The Megaphone is a prop. Live he sound the same. They also have a "how its made" video for this. Brian May, Queen's guitarist, liked the tribute.
You’re actually super good at making reaction videos. I love watching them! 👍🏼
I really enjoying your reaction to PTX, please keep up your great work!!!
"Why is Avi lookin' at me?" LMAO!
Friends - Does it make a difference to you if I have an intro/outro? I'm learning how to use premiere still so let me know what you like. Thanks!
No intro or outro makes no difference to me. The reaction is what I'm here for
@@bobbybrtn1659 Agreed!
I like a short-to-medium length intro and short-to-long length outro. I enjoy hearing about your expectations before and thoughts after you watch the video. You've been doing great!
I like just a brief verbal intro, doesn't have to be a rehearsed adage or anything, just descripting the video, what you're expecting of it, maybe a brief story in relation to the video, etc.
Yeah a short intro and short outro but by all means if you love a video and need to gush about it for. 20 minutes afterwards by all means xP
So glad you are feeling better. Tis the season. Love seeing someone discover the amazing talents of Pentatonix. Mitch is a absolutely amazing and he also plays instruments. They are doing a world tour and there is behind the scenes videos and it shows how silly they all are together. You are becoming a Pentatolix.
We subscribe not only because we like SOME reaction videos, but because we appreciate your reaction You obviously know about music and can hear it. Thank you. Welcome to Pentatonix.
I think you do fantastic reactions! Glad you're feeling better
Somewhere on CZcams is a side-by-side video of Queen and Pentatonix doing this and there just about perfectly in synch.
This video is a throwback to their earlier days on YT where they would sing while sitting on their couch. Love PTX!
I love watching reactions to Pentatonix. Thanks!
I love watching your reactions to their music...just so amazing.
This is one of my favourite of their covers. The song has so much going on in the first place and I think it allows them to show off their talent so well. It's so cool to see your reactions to hearing this for the first time!
Really love your reactions...you really pay attention to the details! Thanks!
HI Kyle. I have followed Pentatonix for several years and I agree with you that they are sort of next level. In your 1st reaction to them , I think many people feel the same about you did. That A Capella that it is sort of choir-ie and barber shop stuff. Pentatonix has sort of created it own art form My gut feeling is that Scott who is basically the arranger and I think it would be safe to call him a prodigy at this. I have been a musician all my life and sometimes when I finish listening to a new song by them, I just sit there stunned ? Dah ? just the same way you felt when you finished " Mary don't you know. Pretty amazing. Thanks for taking the time to do a reaction video. I enjoy them.
Yaaaaaaaaaas!! Keven's a wizard!
Kyle!???! You are a very good reactor. Your reactions are open and genuine, and you notice and point out details that I haven't seen yet!
What a de!ight 😃
Part of the pleasure of loving Pentatonix is watching others discover them.
PTXtasy!!!!😍
I'm so grateful to have come across this channel in its infancy because I know for a fact that it will grow. Your comments are a perfect mix of real musical insight and genuine reactions. You help me appreciate songs I've heard a hundred times as if they were brand new.
That being said, it sounds like the song is being recorded through a fan. It's probably some fluke editing thing, but it is strange. I hope you got to hear it the right way.
I think you'd really enjoy or at least appreciate some older Bon Iver songs, particularly Holocene and 8 Circle (my very favorite song). Whatever you react to, I'll be tuning in!
Welcome to your Pentatonix discovery journey. You have so much to discover and let me tell you each one you will say "how the ffu..." Enjoy every minute of it.
You are a good reactor for Pentatonix fans esp, because you love them. You are pleasing to look at w your teddy-bear beard, you express with earnestness what we all think about them.
The bass, Avi and Kevin work together in the background a lot - Kevin beatboxing, and Avi providing the bass line. 😊
I love your reactions, I am always amazed by Pentatonix!
It's always fun to watch a new Pentaholic discover these amazing singers. Their covers are always spot-on ( some are even better than the originals, imo), and they have truly underrated original songs too. "Sing" always cheers me up, and "Run to You" is haunting in it's beauty and complexity. And since you seem to be enjoying riding the A Capella train, another group to check out is Home Free. Their cover of "End of the Road" by Boys to Men is a good launching point.
just watched all your videos tonight, hope youre feeling even better!!! you have such a genuine feel to you and i feel like this channel can TAKE OFF
I mean, it just never gets old watching people's first time listens to PTX. Being from DFW and having followed their journey "officially" from day one of The Sing Off to owning everything they've ever put out music wise since, nothing makes me happier than watching these amazing individuals succeed at a global scale like they have. From a show that literally got canceled, brought back, canceled again, etc., to them get dropped from their label, to winning 3 Grammys, being in movies, going on international tours, and they've even managed to keep going after losing Avi (most people's #1 bro). It's truly amazing. Feels like the day the Grinch's heart grew 2 sizes! 💕 🤣 Just melts your heart no matter how hardened you are. No one can deny their talent. I still get chills every time I hear them sing. Words can't describe how freaking good they are.
Im glad you’re feeling better! Stay well!
I’m really enjoying your reactions. I love that you are coming from a different background musically, so I can appreciate your introduction to them even more. Being only five singers, each one of them is vital to each song. If you want to see if they can perform this live, check out some of the fan recordings when they performed it at the Hollywood Bowl for the 4th of July a couple of years ago. It was the first time they had performed it live. It was also after Avi had announced he was leaving the group. He left in September of that year. (They are still good friends.) In the first of the Hollywood Bowl performances they were joined by a choir from the A Capella Academy, which was founded by Avi, Ben Bram, PTX’s arranger/producer (someone correct me if I have that wrong, please) and Rob Dietz. You’ll see Avi look back at them like a proud papa! Welcome to the wonderful world of PTX! I wonder if you realize you are likely to go down the rabbit hole and join the rest of us who are in awe of what they do so well, so consistently.
Jean Caldwell LoVe You Jean! Your Right! Once you go down this rabbit hole... one will Never be the Same! Chosen Family w/in the fandom. I like this guy... he fits right in!
PentaTonya FanGirl Yes, he definitely does! I do look forward to his reactions.
The Wizard of Ahhhhhs Is a must they all get to showcase their voices as well as Toddrick Hall.
ISN'T IT FUN BEING BLOWN AWAY? So much to discover from these guys. Have fun! (Glad you shook the flu.)
I just LOVE your reactions... so real and you know music, so you can appreciate them even more
Yes you are good at it! I'm loving watching you discover Pentatonix and the new acapella they basically created.
Okay I said that before I heard the f'ed up audio. :P
It really might be worth your time to capture it fresh, re-render, and update. It's not that hard, you could probably have it done in 20 minutes plus an hour or two of rendering/uploading.
During the Sing Off, they sang their version of Video Killed the Radio Star. robot moves, the black framed glasses, and even a little Max Headroom vibe. That song was done with only 2 days prep time, and they nailed it! Since that time, I couldn't stop listening to them.....I'm definitely a Pentaholic! Love your videos. Cheers! :)
Your channel brings me such joy. Watching someone else hearing their songs for the first time.... priceless.
Thanks so much for your reaction videos ! It is awesome to share reactions with you since during the pandemic, we cannot see friends at all. It makes your work even more relevant !
Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Love your reaction. On your face you can see how much the music mean to you!
Ptx is on another level is an understatement. They are so so talented. And i love your reactions. I see a lot of Rather Be comments. One of my favs. Listened to it yesterday....twice
I love that you opened yourself up to really hear them, I know it's not your usual style. To me, they are amazing!!!
Kyle, you are so humble. It makes watching your channel very special to me. You ARE good at reacting. I enjoy your delight when you hear something that surprises you. Plus, I learn from you. I don't know your knowledge base, but you point out sounds I would miss on my own.
So, I think you are doing so well! Thanks for your wise observations. Looking forward to lots more. Thanks!
Kirsten has an amazing solo in “can u feel the love tonight” which, I think, is their most recent cover.
A couple more suggestions: Imagine (John Lennon cover); Gold (Kiiara cover ... but watch her video first); No (Megan Trainor cover); Problem (Ariana Grande cover). Also, their original Love Again (similar to the Daft Punk video in design), and originals Run to You, Misbehavin' and Cracked.
Great reaction, love that you appreciate each and every musical part, every tone and every member, as you said in your first (or second) reaction, how could 5 great talented people ended together! Is like someone hand-picked each one, to be part of something great
Thank you so much for sharing your reactions of this fine group. I honestly have not listened to this group before. I think I have missed a lot. Keep the reactions coming whenever you can. I have to admit, you sure look better physically than when you first started out. Take care of yourself.
My favorite old video is "Thrift Shop." It's goofy and fun and lots of Avi. Please react to that. And "Say Something" for a kirstie song.
Get ready for your channel to blow up lol. Pentatonix fans love watching reaction videos. It's allows us to feel that first high of seeing them perform again.
I cant wait to see your reaction to "Love Again"
Omg... Loved your reaction 👏👏...I was waiting to see your face when Mitch did the guitar ❤️ Can't want to see more PTX reactions!
Love your reactions!! Brian May tweeted out this video when it was first released so I would say they did the song justice. Would suggest Say Something, Sound of Silence, Rather Be to name just a few.
I think you're pretty good at these reactions.....there's an honesty in your reactions. Older stuff - Rather Be (Kirstie is the lead vocal), La La Latch and Can't Hold Us. These are good older videos. Love Again is a good original from them also. They also have a live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas special a few years ago if you want to see it performed live. Hi from Chicago!
I subscribe to y'all doing PTX reaction videos because I LOVE seeing people's minds blown and fall in love with the group I've been staunchly supporting since the Sing Off in 2011.
You should maybe also check out some Superfruit! It's Mitch and Scott from Pentatonix. They've done all kinds of things on their channel, from covers to original music to just some fun challenges. I would recommend their Lady Gaga medley and Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 and 2! Just remember to stay all the way until the end for the bloopers!
I am so excited that you took my suggestion & maybe others too and listened to their version of Bohemian rhapsody and more than that, that you clearly like it as much as I do!!!
His EYES just before, "Jesus Mitch!" PRICELESS
I’ve been watching your reaction videos for a while. I love that you react with the same passion that I feel when I see and hear fantastic music!!!
Subscribed. Shivani N says it perfectly below. Hearing them for the first time is amazing and I love watching people listen to them for the first time - always gives me chills and puts a huge smile on my face. A lot of new people to PTX wonder how they sound live. I suggest Hallelujah from their Xmas TV special or Aha! Singapore. Looking forward to more reaction videos.
dude, I love your reactions!! you're so honest and appreciative and I dig that. pentatonix have so many insane vocal skills as individuals, but when you smash them together they're a force to be reckoned with. they've also really grown over time. the range of everybody is just insane now.
I especially recommend their cover of sound of silence, can you feel the love tonight and the christmas songs (SO MANY CHRISTMAS SONGS) :)
