One reaction from you is worth more than many other reactors put together! You highlight multiple details that are so interesting, easy to understand and add so much enjoyment to each Pentatonix song. Thank you so much. So grateful you're back, and very glad your health has improved. Kyle rules!
Ditto
🇵🇭
Kyle: *says Scott, Mitch and adorable in the same sentence*
Me: Ooooo did u know they hav their own separate channel called Superfruit? They hav soooo many awesome (and hilarious) covers and they hav 2 WHOLE ALBUMS of original songs! Plus theyve done a bunch of cool and hilarious skits and challenges. Check em out!
My brain: SCOMICHE SCOMICHE SCOMICHE SCOMICHE SCOMICHE SCOMICHE
Alyssa Bernd YESS my thoughts exactly! Although it's actually two EP's combined to make one full album :)
Literally meeeee😂
LOL I was thinking the exact same thing!
wat
I think we all screamed when he said that
A couple other songs that show off Kirstie's lower register really well are "Where are you Christmas?" and "Shallow". Like you, I just love her voice.
Yup I think they took the feedback from the fans when they were blown away with how she sounded when she was singing lower.
I think in the Sound of Silence, Kirstie uses her lower register as well. Actually, now that I think of it they all used lower registers at some point in that song :)
She was an All State Alto 2 when she was in high school. I kind of wondered if she got same kind of "we want women to sing high notes" impression I did. Either way, her lower register sounds incredible, and her range is really impressive. I'm a contralto, and if I try to sing high notes, my dogs run away. 🙂
If you like this video style, you need to react to their original in this vein, although it is a Scott lead. It's called "Sing."
I agree with "Can't Hold Us". Another phenomenal cover is "Problem".
The most bass-forward song imo is "Someone I Used To Know."
One of Avi's lowest notes is in their 2nd Grammy winner, their cover of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." Yes, they can do it. And no, they don't add lyrics. It is beyond incredible.
I love how perceptive you are. Unlike other reactors who just: "aw that was good," when you give your thoughts they're interesting to listen to, especially your talking about how Mitch and Scott were singing together on this one. Not many reactors seem to be as invested and genuine as you, I love it and get so excited every time you upload. Can't wait to see more! :)
I agree. He makes me hear details of the song I had never noticed before so the pausing does not annoy.
"Royals" "La La Latch" & "Who's gonna Save the World" would all be good targets next
scott and mitch's superfruit originals are SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! like something totally different from what PTX does. so soo good. they have videos for every song on their two part album Future Friends. every single song! and they are all hits. no filler.
my absolute FAVORITE kirstin lead is Water from their original album... it's audio only but always worth a reaction anyway
you really need to do another original - Run To You
One phrase to describe them A breath of fresh air from today's so called music
Scott and Mitch are too damn adorable. You need to react to their other group of the two of them called Superfruit. They have a lot of medley stuff that are so good. Empire Medley, Anti Medley, Feeling Myself, Beyonce, Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2, and they also have their own stuff. Future Friends, Good 4Us, Guy.Exe., and so much more.
Please do Can’t Hold Us! It’s ridiculously good.... it’s almost irritating 😁
And- Glad to have you back! Hope the migraines ease up soon.
Another vote for “Disney Love Medley” by Voctave featuring Kirstie and her then fiancee, Jeremy Michael Lewis (they later broke up). Kirstie sings the lead and is the perfect Disney princess. And Voctave is a truly amazing group. They have a soprano who is the female equivalent of Mitch. She hits some other worldly high notes. Everything about that performance is world class. The video is on the Voctave CZcams channel.
Yes yes yes !!!
Oh, yeah! What you said, Kirstin singing this with that range and so well "without pushing it." I love this performance of hers.
Do Pentatonix - White Winter Hymnal
One of my favorites for sure.
Gets stuck in my head lol not that that's a bad thing lol
I despise that song lol. Their arrangement, as with everything, is great. I just can’t stand the song
I just love Kirstin's voice! She is my favorite!
Thanks for the amazing reaction as always. Kirstie is ridiculously talented as they all are. Please do Kirstie feat. Voctave "Disney Love Medley". It will blow your mind. The list of Pentatonix / Superfruit Songs goes on and on, so i am happy to see your future reactions. Thanks so much.
Kirstie honestly deserves WAY more credit. I mean- that voice... those looks... that range!!!
Avi does not just sing low notes … Avi becomes a pipe organ. kevin is just a freak and the "trio" all have amazing ranges and control.... and Avia nd Kevin can also transition in and out of Vocal parts as well.. one wonders if there is any style genre or Sound that they could not do.
Rathet Be is my fav! I think I've listened to it a million times and still hear something new each time.
Another good one for Kirstin is "Water" it's an original, and it features her through the whole thing.
My favourite PTX cover! Kirstin is definitely a mezzo and her lower register is so beautiful. The video is great too - really great setting and really crisp.
So glad you're feeling better!
Please watch any superfruit song that mitch and scott have done as a duo.
If you want to hear more of Kirstie’s lower register then their cover of Shallow is a MUST!
Yeah, she is a Mezzo and has an incredible range. This is the one song I listen to the most, followed closely by DespacitoxSShape of you. Of course I am totally crushed on Kirstie, so maybe I am just a little bit biased.... Scott and Mitch have been singing together since they around 10. Peace, Love and Light Kyle!!!
I've always thought Pentatonix' secret weapon, other than their power (individually & together) and their blend, is the fact that they all have amazing ranges. They can place voices wherever they are needed because all their ranges span many octaves, so they never leave sonic "holes" in the arrangements.
100% agreeing with the other comments: Superfruit is everything. Their covers, their originals. Scott and Mitch kill it on that channel. You should check it out
You're 100% correct she is a mezzo soprano. So her vocal range is on display here for real.
If you want to hear more Kirstie then ‘can you feel the love tonight’ is excellent! It’s a beautiful arrangement and features the new bass Matt
All of them have a range out of this world, so amazing .😁
Absolutely agree with you. I was also introduced to the song when I heard PTX's cover (I think) and it instantly became one of my absolute favourites. It's just so well written and they arranged and performed it to perfection. Kirstin smashed it!
Kirstie's lower register is everything. Seriously, could listen to it all day.
They filmed this while they were on tour in Japan. Kirstie brought the song to the group and asked if they wanted to cover it because she loved the song.
Love how it shows off her high and low range
another kirstie lead - Say Something
He has already reacted to that one.
@@KhoiMVo i forgot about that, it's just Say Something came to mind first
"Shallow"
When you are ready to get into their newer material, the best music video to introduce their new bass Matt is their Christmas cover of You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Matt has the lead on this one, and it's a perfect performance from him. Matt brings his own unique range and personality to PTX, and it will be fun to see him develop even further with the group.
I think Kirstie hits her lowest register in their Where are you Christmas cover. When I heard it the first time I did a double take to make sure one of the guys hadn’t picked up the melody because she drops into a genuine alto / tenor range.
This is one of my favorites.
Run to you and dance of the sugarplum fairy are two very good songs that i think you’ll like!
Sounds of silence
Sounds of silence
Sounds of silence!!!!
So clad you're back and feeling better! If you want to see more Mitch and Scott together then please check out Superfruit, their own separate youtube channel! Most of their content is just regular youtube videos where they do different games and challenges, but they have also done many amazing covers and they have a full album of originals witch is really awesome! And they have music videos for every song on that album :)
Kirstie's lower register is very good! I think she's technically a mezzo. She obviously sings the higher registers very well too but she often switches back and forth with Mitch on who does the higher register. It's always a challenge when my choir has done some Pentatonix arrangements and while Mitch's part is set as the alto, it'll often go higher than Kirstie's and then suddenly the choir sopranos have to start playing at being altos. So she often takes a more 1st alto/2nd soprano range when Mitch does the higher parts. I think think that's a big part of their strength. They all have very big ranges, which means they're extremely versatile in how they arrange songs. If Mitch goes high, Kirstie can do a more 1st alto/2nd soprano range, but Mitch can also actually go quite low. Scott has a massive range and often covers the bass if the bass is singing solo. Avi, when he was still there, has a huge range as well. Matt, too, though, is versatile. (And I mean, Kevin is Kevin. Beatboxing, cello-playing, great falsetto.) It gives them so many alternatives for arrangement and they'll often swap seamlessly with each other in a way that is truly absurdly impressive. There's a recent song (Can You Feel The Love Tonight, I think it was) where you could barely even tell Mitch swapped out Kirstie for the melody, they matched each other THAT well.
Yes. Scott and Mitch are adorable. TIME FOR EVERYONE TO REQUEST SUPERFRUIT. GO GO GO.
Kyle, I am thoroughly enjoying your discovery of Pentatonix. I am rediscovering them with you! I was lucky enough to see them on The Sing Off and followed them since. Since Avi left, I just haven’t been able to keep the same interest (no-one can replace Avi). I find your commentary to be quite insightful.
I'd love to see you react to the original video of this song. I found it through Pentatonix as well, but then really fell in love with the original. They're both amazing!
I LOVE that you're back at it, I missed your reactions so much. More importantly I'm happy and relieved you are feeling better 👏❤
A hidden gem for Kirstie is her national anthem at a basketball game. There's two great vids of it showing 2 perspectives.
Mad respect on knowing the term mezzo-soprano
They all have a great range
Run to You is a Beautiful original song from them ❤️
I LOVE this one! Here for your PTX reactions!!👋😉 Keep them coming!! 👉Yes Scott and Mitch are ADORABLE! But then they ALL ARE!! and VERY LIKEABLE!!😊
Kyle beginning to crush on Kirstie 😍 It is impossible not to love them all. Love watching your reactions ✌🏻🇨🇦
Kyle....the song "Water" is done exclusively by Kirstie.....its one of my favorites.
Omg you should start reacting to suoerfruit medleys, their original songs, and just them 😭😭
Glad you're getting a break from the migraines. A song that I don't see requested often but was done around the same time is "Sing", It has a similar vibe and I think it's as good as "Rather Be". The video was done with the help of their fans and always makes me emotional. Please give it a listen.
I do think its time that you look at videos with the new bass, it’s important to validate Matt and see his talent
I just love her voice, especially her lower range. I am not sure if you listened to their version of Carol of the Bells for Christmas. Her part is in her lower range in that song and it just kills me. So pretty.
As great as Pentatonix is, you add another layer to the enjoyment. Thanks, Kyle!
I love this cover. Kirstie has a great range. I'm a soprano as well, and he lowest note in this song is at the low end of my range. I'm comfortable singing it, but can't stay in that register very long without my voice getting tired, and it's not a note that I can project very well.
Kyle picked up on her buttery smooth lower register. Her newer PTX uses it a lot more and it's glorious.
Glad to see you back. A lot of PTX newer covers I had nvr heard b4 they covered it.
Great reaction and analysis. Thanks!
Glad you’re feeling better! I know Christmas is over but I absolutely love Kirstie’s voice in one of their Christmas medleys. She’s singing in a beautiful high register. The best video is Pentatonix - Holiday Medley Special - The Sing Off Season 5 HD. Can’t wait to see other reactions!
If you haven't watched "The Sound of Silence" so watch it! Kirstin is amazing! She sings in her low and high voice. It's awesome!
If i remember their comments from "behind the scenes", they were fighting to get this done before sunset. They seem to work best under pressure.
My favorite Pentatonix song is "Shallow" and it features Kirsty and Mitch. Best singing performance by Kirsty matching Lady Gaga and that's saying something. Check it out!
Sound of Silence showcases the low ranges of all of them, especially Scott and Kirsty.
For something different, check out Superfruit & "Rise"
One of my favorite of their covers, period! Filmed in Tokyo while they were on their Austral-Asia tour in 2014. And yes, Kirstin had done some vocal training after The Sing-Off that helped her maintain her voice on tour, as well as extended her lower range. If you listen to the Sing-Off performance that PTX did with another group (Urban Method) and Flo Rida of “Good Feeling,” you can tell she is struggling to get the lowest notes, notes she has no problem with here.
Fantastic reaction and analysis!!
Avi's bass - the way he hits parts of it with a hard edge on the top of the note - it's an added level of percussion to Kevin's beat track. Kirstie's range and all of their ability to quickly shift to "filler" notes in the midst of their vocals to fill in the extra 4 to 5 voices that they SHOULD be missing, but aren't. Nice catch on the bass "slide" - something that took me a few listens to catch with all that is going on. I truly do enjoy Matt now that he is with PTX, but Kevin and Avi just had a chemistry between them that might never be matched again. While they do amazing things together also, time will tell if Matt and Kevin get it too.

Before you watch any Pentatonix videos with Matt you HAVE to watch Dancing On My Own because it's the first video they do without Avi and it feels like they are mourning the loss of him and it's just the saddest thing and the perfect transition to their newer videos.
Isn't this a cheerful song? Just a real happy-maker! Have you seen some of Kirstie's solo work? It's worth seeking out. "Bad Weather" is a great one.
Superfruit “50 Terrible Celebrity Impressions” is a fun change of pace from the music videos 😄
Scott and Mitch put out and album together as Superfruit. It is awesome!
Great reaction, as always1
Has anyone requested Feel it Still? I feel like no one really remembers that one, including PTX since I'm pretty sure they've never done it live for some reason. But it's sooooo good.
Loved the Scott and Mitch catch lol
Hi! Have you seen "Sing" by Pentatonix? If you like this song, you will love "Sing". I'm pretty shure about this. Keep it up!
Hey Kyle! Long time no see...hope you have been feeling good! Glad you did this one, Kirstie really shines in it. Best wishes from Chicago!
Love this! Late to the party, but I'm adding a vote for Superfruit's "Defying Gravity", which is one of my all-time favourite videos.
Love the reaction! If you press the back arrow on your keyboard it should take you back a few seconds.
Great reaction, as always! It was originally done by a Japanese singer, and they planned the video shoot while they were in Japan for a concert. There is another Kirstie lead that I just love - Water (an original that she wrote!) Here is a link to a great performance of Water at a Popspring concert: czcams.com/video/y-C095R_ccI/video.html
You should watch Misty Mountains with Tim Foust and Peter Hollens. And also check out the video with Tim Fousts vocal range. It is insane 🙂
This song has Mariah Carey vibes all over it. Kirstie's looks and sound (her run I heard in Mariah's whistle tone in my head). She almost has the same mouth, too. Kirstie's is definitely more crooked/sidemouthed (which is intoxicating) but it really just feels of a 90's Mariah hit to me.
I love your reactions. I have watched them over and over. I would love for you (when you have time) to react to Pentatonx videos Sing(original) and covers Cheerleader, One less problem and Shallow.
enjoyed this, thanks
I was just thinking that I hadn't seen you post in awhile, and then you post! Lol glad you're feeling better, and I love this song by them.
Adorable.... yes they are! Superfruit - check them out.
I know this video is probably too old for you to see any comments, but you got a good feel for Kirstie's low vocals in this video but she can also do whistle notes!
So glad you’re feeling better, brother. We were worried about you
Kyle please do the reaction to dog days are over that Pentatonix perform in Sing-Off competition. Is awesome. I never had so much interest in replay for any song.
This was actually filmed while on one of their tours!
You should check out the "Spaulding Sessions" with Pentatonix and Scott Hosting solo. You won't regret it.
To give you more videos to watch: (as if you didn't have enough good ones from Pentatonix alone)
-All from Superfruit Channel. That's just Mitch and Scott with sometimes Kirstie
-Disney Love Medley. It's Kirstie with another awesome acapella group Voctave
-Mary did you know from Voctave: so you can make a comparison to Pentatonix version
-Change on the Rise: Avi Kaplan solo
Hope you find time to react to them
Yes, check out Superfruit for Scott and Mitch!!!!
If you like mich and Scott voice they have a Chanel super fruit that they do covers on and they have some original music out together as well💜
Another video you gotta check out is Superfruit (a.k.a Mitch and Scott) collab with some other CZcamsrs on a cover of Katie Perry's song "Rise"!!!!!!!!
Check out Superfruit to hear just Scott and Mitch together. Feeling Myself, Anti Medley, and Empire Medley are my favorites!
"Sing!"
