#Pentatonix #BohemianRhapsody #Reaction - Zábava
Between Kevin's beat boxing, Avi's resonent bass and Mitch's amazing voice (and guitar!), this is just a tremendous work. The trio (Scott, Mitch and Kirsti went to school together in Arlington Texas and developed their mutual love of music and musical theater. After Scott and Kirsti graduated, Scott recruited them to perform in the NBC acapella competition "The Sing Off". They needed a bigger group and sound and recruited Avi through a mutual friend and found Kevin performing cello while beat boxing on a CZcams video. Spoiler alert: they won! ...and the rest is history...
Brian May is actually Dr. Brian May. He is an astrophysicist. His PhD thesis a survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud" was published in 2007 and is a popular astronomy book of the same name. He started his research in 1970 and then stopped to run around the world in this rock band named Queen. Maybe you've heard of them maybe you haven't I had to Google them. That's sarcasm. The megaphone in a prop. Mitch does not use it in his life. Plus the voice you hear when they're looking at the stars is the same voice Mitch uses with the megaphone . Iat the night sky is homage to Brian May. Brian May was so impressed with the video that he posted it on all of his social media sites . There are 4 shooting stars and I always wondered about that because there are 5 members in PTX. I read in a comment that it's an homage to Queen because there are 4 members in Queen. At least that's how I interpret the shooting stars. The moving couch pays homage to how they started. After Sony drop them they did their own videos and uploaded them to CZcams. They would just be sitting on a couch with a camera aimed at them. I think they did them all in one take because they didn't have money for post-production or editing.
This is a link to a video titled a beginner's guide to Pentatonix

This is a link to a live version of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think it was filmed off of somebody's phone.

They have three Grammy Awards for their arrangements. They know how good they are.
You asked how they found each other. Mitch, Scott, and Kirstie went to high school together, and sang together for years. Scott had the idea to audition for The Sing Off, an acapella competition when they were 19 years old. They had to have at least five members to qualify, and they knew they needed a bass and a beatboxer. A friend introduced them to Avi, and Scott saw a video of Kevin beatboxing while playing the cello. Kevin gave up medical school for Pentatonix. They got together for the first time the day before the audition,and they made it, then won the competition.
Came here to say this :)
It's really interesting because we can see their first presentation as a group, it was on tv and it's on CZcams now (if you guys are going to watch this, please, make it a react), and see how amazing they were from the start and how they only got better with every week on the show. Their first 12 or more presentations are saved, and now we can look back to them. Kirstin, Scott and Mitch were only 19 years old, Kevin and Avi were maybe a couple years older, but really young, but with the talent and practice of someone beyond their years.
@@thaiseathaydesantos Definitely a good ride for them to take. See where they came from, see how they were introduced to the public, see how the judges’ advice still molds their songs today. It’s an unbelievable journey, and if they react to Pentatonix performances on (or the whole show) The Sing-Off, I’ll watch it all :)
Watch sound of Silence!!!
Aww, you guys are adorable! You’re definitely Pentaholics now, and I love watching you react to these guys :-)
PTX waited 5 years before they made this one, because they wanted to make sure it was perfect. They didn’t want to disrespect the song or Queen. They definitely worked hard on this, and it shows.
There’s a ‘making of’ video of this on CZcams also, which you might like to check out too. It shows the behind-the-scenes organising which went on, and how it was filmed etc.
Based on your comments at 7:10 about their approach...I think you'd really love their cover of John Lennon's Imagine. Loving your reactions, so genuine!💕
You ask, "Do they know how good they are?" Well, I think they know they're good, but in the video behind the scenes of their Christmas album recording, they all gathered in the sound room after recording The Prayer to listen to the playback of their recording! They were all amazed & choked up, and Kirstin turned to the rest and said "That's us! OMG!" So sometimes they surprise even themselves! 💖
All of them are so talented individually. But when you put them together? They cross into the extraordinary.
Mitch has a naturally high voice. He was actually bullied growing up because of his unique voice. I'm so thankful that he, that ALL of them, choose to share this amazing music with us mere mortals.
They Own this one and Made this song a Masterpiece !!!!!
Their cover of "Imagine" will blow your minds.
They always pay respect to the original. They are magic indeed
Because people usually start with Hallelujah and that's their first Mitch-slap, the part in this when he sings the electric guitar part is usually the second Mitch-slap. That moment of "Wait, WHAT is happening?" is the most universal emotion of anyone who's ever heard their songs.
Enjoying your reactions to PTX. I believe it has been mentioned before but The Prayer is another emotive song that gives a great individual features of their talents and the groups fusion. TYFS
Yup, gotta happen...I'm an atheist and I cry and feel "the spirit" on that one.
You were not sure of your English, but I think you are incredible for learning it so well. Love your reactions❤️❤️
Thank you! 😃😍
💞 ***Talent doesn't even begin to describe how amazing this group is! Love you guys & loving your reactions*** 💞
Yes, you do need to go back and watch and listen, so you can get an appreciation for all of them.
they sound like a whole band,, amazing
I only got to hear of PTX while looking for a Christmas album in New Zealand 3 years ago. When I picked it up I knew I'd heard of them before and can only think it was a fleeting glance of their participation in one of the award shows. But I am so glad I did. They do have enough supporters here to fill a stadium though. I think their success and humility is because they've known each other so long, and their families know each other and it's just a good, wholesome vibe. At the same time one feels there must be a higher force or something else at play for these talented people to just happen to come together. It's their talent, their personalities, their work ethic, and their ability to choose the right people to join them. It's beyond comprehension, but we're the beneficiaries.
Imagine, Sound of Silence, and all of the medleys
Classic song, Classic performance, Classic reaction
I always enjoy people's shocked reactions when they hear one of Pentatonix songs. Can't help but just submerge oneself into the music. Every song they do is simply an UPGRADE! But also, the effects are so spot on. NO ONE could have done a better job than Mitch on this one. At least in my opinion. And again, without instruments (Way to go Kevin). Simply amazing. Another Great review. I really hope you check out "Mary did you know". That one also brought tears. Again, much love from a Great Grandma in WA. State. Remember, stay true to yourselves and always stay safe in these trying times.
Enjoyed the reaction!! Kirstin, Mitch (high voice guy) and Scott (blonde) were friends since Middle and High school. They got back together to do a show called THE SING OFF, found Kevin the beat boxer online where he had created the music form "Cello-boxing" (Yes he's world class Cellist as well) Then a friend hooked them up with Avi, the bass, and they met just before the show..and the rest is musical history. They are 5 of the most talented people alive. Try "Can you Feel the Love Tonight" it's angelic. There has only been one change in the band Avi left in 2017 and Matt Sallee joined them.
This is how the three of them went to school together and to enter the singing contest they had to add two more members. They won the contest and they are super singers.
Love the look on your wifes face when Mitch does the guitar sounds.
We Pentaholics love to call their covers "upgrades". 😁💕
Loved your reaction! Looking forward to more!
Brian May (the lead guitarist for Queen) was impressed by the way PTX was able to emulate his guitar riffs, complete with "wah-wah."
I love watching you guys react to Pentatonix 😃
Me too!!!
Ok next one do "Dance of the Sugar Plum Faires" an instrumental piece they do with their voices. Also a Grammy winner.
If you look up episode 1 of Pentatonix on the Sing Off, the show introduces them to the audience and explains how they got together. I have heard them live and it's amazing. They have to all pay attention every second since their parts are so dependent on each other, plus they like to joke around with the audience.
Great reaction. Love watching new people witness their amazing.talent. You make me smile.
They did a fabulous job on this. Enough that Brian May from Queen shared it on social media saying (capital letters his): "GREAT VERSION. Enjoy."
the two of you are so precious. so kind and patient with each other. I'm so jealous 🥰
They have a lot of variety in the styles of songs they do. Every so often they do a song where they just sing together in harmony, without the percussion and instrumental parts. Examples are : "Can't Help Falling in Love" (Elvis cover), "Run to You" (their original song) or "My Heart With You" (The Rescues cover)
And Dreams from the EP they did when they were apart during Covid.
To clarify, Mitch doesn't actually sing into the megaphone, it's just a prop for the official music video. But if you watch them sing it live, Mitch does the electric guitar into the microphone perfectly, it's really cool to watch.
they are great...want to see them live
Another fantastic reaction Guys. Dominika couldn't stop smiling, and the look on both your faces when Mitch played his guitar was priceless. (BTW, the megaphone is a prop, that was his voice) And you are correct, there are no words to describe perfection. It's difficult for your mind to accept that every sound is them. Kevin and Avi are unreal. I know you love Mitch, but if you want to see Kirsty shine, try The Sound of Silence, or Amazing Grace. Loving your journey.
She's wonderful in "Say Something" and Avi sings too, with Kevin "cello boxing." I think its the only where Mitch does NOT get a single solo line. It really allows Kirstie to shine, because Mitch's voice can sometimes be so similar to hers.
You two are an adorable couple. The reaction was incredable. I had the same reaction when I heard this for the first time. I couldn't believe my ears. Thanks.
Pentatonix was being true Queen"s original sound engineering when they recorded this cover. As you noticed the panning from the left ear to the right ear at the beginning of the song. Then during the operatic portion the sound switches sides of the ears. You can go back the Queen's official video and listen to the song and compare the listening experience is the same. PTX is very respectful to Queen in not wanting to cut anything from the song lyrically either.
Love watching Pentaholics being born 😊 Your reactions are wonderful! Their live performances are amazing, but there are some really bad quality phone videos out there, so be particular. They do a live performance of Hallelujah on their Christmas show that is better than the official video. Gold and Evolution of Michael Jackson would be great for you to see. Sitting on a couch in front of a couple of mics all one take. Sound of Silence is another popular one. You really can't go wrong.
One of the best live concert performances I have ever seen is Pop Spring. It features 3 originals, Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, and Water and their arrangement of Evolution of Michael Jackson. It is a little longer video, but I really hope you get a chance to react to it. Very good quality. The Honda Stage iHeart radio live performances of Cracked, Misbehavin and Can't Sleep Love are sooo good too.
This group is so humble, hard working, joyful and grateful for their success. After they won the Sing Off they all uprooted their separate lives and relocated to Los Angeles ready to role up their sleeves and get to work on the record contract with Sony that they had won. Sony canceled it two weeks later. They were crushed. But, instead of giving up, they turned to you tube and started making music together sitting on a couch in one of their apartments (that is why you see the couch references sometimes like in Bohemian Rhapsody) and the rest is history. Their official video of Starships is a parallel to their experience of losing the Sony Contract. It is wonderful!. Oh, their cover of Imagine will bring you to tears. They have a huge catalog of music so I'll shut up now 😊 You really can't go wrong with whatever you choose. I look forward to your next one!
I am Loving your comments! Really enjoying your channel. There’s so much more to listen too from PTX and I’m here for it all. Till next time, take care.
Really enjoying your reactions to PTX. They never cease to amaze us with their unbelievable talent. They are the best when it comes to their covers, but they also have a long list of great original songs that you don't want to miss. Some of their best are "Love Again", "Run To You", " Standing By" ,"Water" and many more. Other covers you need to check out are "Gold"(Mitch is jaw dropping amazing !), "Imagine", "La La Latch", "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Sound Of Silence", "The Prayer", and for something really different and fun try "The Wizard of Ahhhs". They are known for their Christmas songs, and "Mary Did You Know" and "Silent Night (Live)" are a must. Avi Kaplan (the original bass of the group) now has a wonderful solo career and is well worth checking out too. Enjoy your adventure down the PTX rabbit hole. It's a deep and exciting one.
Scott (tall blonde), Mitch, and Kirstie grew up together from ages 8 and 10 years old. Kevin (beatboxer) and Avi (bass) joined them at the last minute when they competed on TV.. The Sing Off in 2011. The "trio" were 19 years old. That's when they started calling themselves Pentatonix. Avi and Kevin were perfect match! They all love each other and are like family.. They ended up winning the Sing Off competition. Even though Avi left in 2017, Matt is another perfect match!
Ben Bram has been their arranger ever since then. They do include instruments now on occasion but you will always know, it will be obvious. (Kevin on cello or Scott on piano)
Please react to one of their originals, SING. It is very upbeat.. was recorded in Japan and many of their high tier patreons are in the video.. a VERY happy song!
Most in the US get to know them (again) around Christmas time. They are known to sing Christmas music. And they are very popular here. Not like a big name rock group or huge country star. But they aren't far behind that popularity. I decided to subscribe. You two are two much fun to watch. 😀
Cos we are having so much fun doing it! 😀
I've been enjoying your reactions to Pentatonix so much! Hope you continue to enjoy them!
01:28 The panning on "little high, little low" pays tribute to Queen, who did the same thing on the original recording.
PTX: How are we going to do the guitar solo?
Mitch: Hand me that megaphone!
Apparently the megaphone is just for show, as comments from people who've seen them perform this live say he doesn't use it during the show and it sounds just the same.
Amazing Grace and The Prayer. You're welcome.
I feel the same way she does....PTX's version of this song really does grab you....I love all of their songs and they always give me chill bumps
Thanks for your reaction, you have a lovely day also!
You two are great! Thank you so much for the reactions. Try run to you for simple but divine harmonies.
I recommend you check out some of their life performances, so you can see just how similar their life performance sound and recording sounding almost identical which also comes to show the very little editing that goes into their voices which is mostly the volume of each member of pentatonix, they did a live performance for hallelujah and a live performance for daft punk, which are songs you already checked out so you can compare and contrast based on your recorded reactions, great reaction and hope you react to one of their life performances next!!
Kirstin, the only female, just announced a few days ago that she is pregnant with her first child. It's a girl. I don't know how this will affect PTX'S schedule for this year, but all members seem to be excited and supportive.
It's not effecting their schedule at all. Kirstin said she was pregnant all of Christmas tour so she is a working mother!!
You're a delightful couple and I'm so glad you founnd Pentatonix. Enjoy your journey!
Guys, there's a great fan audio on youtube with a cover by Pentatonix overdubbed onto an original track by Queen. The sync is just amazing. In some places, Mitch and Freddie are indistinguishable from each other. You can easily find it by yourselves.
You should go to their beginning . They won a contest called "Sing-Off" on NBC. You will get a little history and see how they started. I like your vibe and I love to see a Pentaholic in the infant stage.
Your English is fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 😃😍
I really enjoy your reactions!!! Keep them coming. Please react to Penatatonix The Prayer. I saw them in concert a few months ago it was FANTASTIC.
i just love you guys! Your English does not have to be "good", as you stated, to get the full reactions...your faces say it all! I was so excited when I saw you had this new one posted!!
Thanks for the link to your vlog in the description box. You are just as delightful in your travels as you are in these reactions.
Watching the two of you discover (and be blown away by) PTX is so good for my soul. You are so cute together, and a perfect balance for each other. I subscribed to take this journey with you. Thank you for sharing it with the world!
I just love the look on your faces of pure happiness, you two are like kids in a candy store of acapella, looking and hearing all the different styles and flavors of the genre. I feel the missing acapella group you should explore is Voiceplay, who are the most dress up and get in to character acapella group, so maybe reacting to their Hw The Grinch Stole Christmas or their cover of Phantom of the Opera and their bass guy, Geoff Castellucci has his own YT page (Blackbird, 16 Tons, Take Me Home Country Road)
I enjoyed your reaction to this amazing Pentatonix video. Thank you. Fun Fact: Brian May, of Queen, posted this video to his social media when it was first released with the message "Enjoy". That was so cool of him.
Perfection.
Your reactions are awesome! Pentatonix are in a league of their own without a doubt!!
Thanks for reacting to Bohemian…we knew that you would love it. Want to see if the can rap? Try Can’t Hold Us. Check out Mad World for something totally different. Say Something is astonishing for its beauty and power. Keep having fun.
Love how much you enjoyed this, the feelings translated where you were having trouble finding the English words to express the joy and wonder you were experiencing. We are all at a loss for words at first! How can they be so talented? How did they meet, what can we hear next! Your reaction was perfectly appropriate for what you witnessed, it is something of a miracle to see this brought to life in such a way! Thanks for your reaction!
Our pleasure! We are so happy we found PTX! 😍😍😍
You guys are a pure joy to watch. I can't wait to see a reaction to The Prayer by them, simply stunning.
Thank you kindly! So many to choose from! 😀
Scott, Mitch and Kirstie went to high school together. Avi and Kevin joined the group before they competed on the Sing Off.
Glad to see you guys continuing yo react to pentatonix here are some suggestions of videos for you to react to....
Sound of silence
Love again(their origional)
The prayer
Radioactive
Royals
Thrift shop
Evolution of michael jackson
Evolution of music
Cant sleep love
Pop spring live performance
When they first started out, they made a variation of the Wizard of Oz with their friend Toddrick Hall called The Wizard of Ahhhs. It is very, very fun.
They are such down to earth nice people. You’re right, I think they know how good they are but they don’t get big headed about it. I really enjoy your reactions, it’s fun to see others discovering them. Stay safe and well ❤️😊
Watch their live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas Show. Pretty much identical!
Welcome to the Pentatonix club. I have enjoyed your reactions and cannot wait for you to discover more of their music. I had to subscribe to you because you are a joy to watch. I wish you peace on your musical journey.
I really enjoy watching you two react to these. I think your next of PTX's big songs should be Sound of Silence. For another amazing Mitch performance you'll love Gold. And for a really powerful song highlighting Kirstin, Say Something is amazing. You really can't go wrong with PTX though.
Mitch completely shines in Valentine, as well
I’d love to see you do Queen live concert Montreal 1981. Freddie Mercury one of the best frontmen in the world. Died too young. The song is Somebody to Love.
You two are so down to earth... And adorable! And Thank You for starting a Pentatonix Playlist. And there's a video called Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix... Even if you don't do a reaction to it, maybe watch it on your own to gain insight into their beginnings! Love you two!! 🤗 💞 But what are your names? Maybe i missed it...
I absolutely LOVE the two of you! I watch all Pentatonix reactions and yours are by far my favorite. Please keep reacting to them! They have lots of songs to react to and they are all worth watching. You have the power to keep me happy for a long time if you keep doing these!!
Thank you! Will do!😀
I have seen them live twice and I guarantee to you they are simply incredible in concert, and, no instruments!!!!
The Grassi Guitar does not require a megaphone. It is just a prop to draw attention to who is making the sound. I heard it done live and it was EPIC.
Their live performances are incredible.
Recommend their live four song set from Popspring 2016. It’s a high quality 15 minute video with three original sounds plus The Evolution Of Michael Jackson.
OMG you two are adorable!!!😄your reactions are priceless!loves watching you get so happy over this one!take care✌out.🙂
I would love to see your reaction to Wizard of Ahhhs. Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix. They select music to retell the story of the Wizard of Oz.
Love your reactions.
Love you two!❤️
In response as to why you have never heard of this group, or Home Free, is because they are not mainstream. You never hear their songs on the radio. It's all CZcams. I would have never thought to find artists on CZcams until them, and to be honest, I don't even remember how I found them. Maybe a facebook post? I'm not sure. All I know is I have become a big fan of the acapella world, because of them. FYI, you guys are an adorable couple. I am a sucker for non-American accents! ;) Keep the PTX and Home Free reactions coming!!!
My first time watching was so similar!! Love!
I love you two! If you want something REALLY fun from PTX, watch Come Along!! Amazing!!
Just some background on this video. From what I understand the reason that they used a dirty old couch for their main prop is because they were paying tribute to the "good ol' days" in the beginning of their careers. Back then they were very broke and had no money for fancy sets and props so they made many of their first videos in one of their living rooms. They must remember those days fondly to do this now lol. It is amazing how simple this video is and yet so complex at the same time. Their level of talent is mind blowing to say the least. I was nice to see you both appreciate this talent for what it is.
Yes, they' all be sitting one couch as in the opening scene.
You must view the Prayer. You will love Mitch!
Diana ankudanova can't help falling in love she will blow your mind
Your English is not poor. You're quite articulate. Great reaction!
New subscriber here. It's so wonderful to see an honest and wonderful appreciation of true talent. Thank you so much for making my day!!!!
Please do The Prayer it is amazing Thank you x
I have been wowed by them for the last 11 years. Still going strong. They are just wonderful. 🤗
This one is my husband's absolute favorite! He's a drummer and was so blown away by Kevin's authentic 70s sound. Whenever I'm listening to PTX he asks for Bohemian Rhapsody. Loving your reactions!
I love your reactions so much!
To see how well they work together in the recording studio, watch/react to "Pentatonix - The Recording Of Evergreen". Really fascinating and you'll see their genius in action.. Evergreen is their latest album (Christmas) and there are several that are absolutely incredible.. OVER THE RIVER (also with Lindsey Stirling on violin and Kevin on cello!) and THE PRAYER are two of the biggest hits on that one..
Subbed, what a heartfelt reaction....thank you so much.
Oh guys, I love your reactions! So glad I found your channel! :) Makes me very happy to watch you, because your reactions are so genuine and happy - makes me happy as well, and that's why I watch reaction videos in the first place!
Minds blown hehehe. Love you guys reaction ❤️
Many people say they don’t do covers, they do upgrades. There is a video titled, Introduction to Pentatonix that explains their beginnings. It is very interesting however, spoiler alert, it does contain snippets of some of their music. You might enjoy it though. Great reaction!!! 💕💕
Your reactions are so wholesome and I love that! I feel like I’ve watched it again for the first time. You’ve won my subscription.
