    "Involuntary bodily functions", never heard it called that, but addiction can do strange things, and they are an addiction. Avi Kaplan, bass singer, is an opera trained basso profundo, so the depth of his voice and the quality are extreme. Mitch does have a huge range, from mid-baritone to high tenor (also can do whistle tones). Kirstie can sing just a few notes higher than Mitch, and they harmonize amazingly together. Scott can go from mid-range bass to tenor, and has a strong falsetto. And Kevin, while being a beast at beat-boxing, can play cello, sax and keyboards - AND he has a great tenor voice. The trio (Scott, Mitch & Kirstie) met as kids in local musical productions and sang together in high school. In 2011, they asked Avi and Kevin to join them to go on a TV competition show The Sing Off, which PTX won, even though they had just met! Anyway, we, the Pentaholics welcome you to our fate.

    @vickipeterson9633 Před 3 lety +20

    The bass and "that drop" is Avi Kaplan. He is ultra talented. (not ashamed to say he's my favorite lol) He also helps Kevin. If you watch him he does wind sounds, synthesizer sounds, he can do overtones and coupled with Kevin's crazy skills they are unmatched in my opinion. The two of them also wrote this original song. They were best buds and roommates. I also especially enjoy Mitch and Avi together because of the contradiction in their tones. Avi and Kevin support the foundation but Avi Supporting Mitch's voice is heavenly to me. Avi also has a crazy range and you will witness that in other videos. Scott's voice is like honey and his riffs and runs amazing. Mitch is sassy and sings those high notes without straining a thing. Cool as a cucumber. Kirstie has a very pretty tone (I believe she's mezzo soprano) and has done some Broadway. Keep up the PTX reactions. Love them and especially loved this one!!! Looking forward to Hallelujah so hope you can get that one through. Thanks.

    Before you go too far down the Pentatonix rabbit hole, I'd encourage you to react to their performances on The Sing Off, the competition show that put them into the spotlight. At the time they auditioned for the show, Mitch Scott, and Kristen had been singing together for several years already but Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatbox) had literally joined the group a few days before. When recording of the show started, they'd only had about 3 months working together. They blew me away then and they still blow me away. But it's great to see those earlier performances and contrast them to what they've done since.

    Kevin (beat boxer) and Avi (bass) are the best rhythm section ever! They were room mates for years and would practice for hours to hone their craft. Avi often did more than bass, his swoosh sounds and drops are incredible. So together they create just magic. The trio are brilliant but I'm with you Avi & Kevin are awesome. They were named 'Meat & Potatoes" by the judges on Sing Off as they carry the main flow of transitions etc...and if you're nodding or tapping your feet it's because of them lol...ahuh I'm a huge fan lol

  • @FlammySpritz
    @FlammySpritz Před 3 lety

    To answer a couple of your questions - all of the members contribute to the 'music' in various songs. You noticed it in Daft Punk when you asked about the keys - that was Mitch and Kirstin at (they were humming closed-mouth so you thought they were bobbing lol). Kevin is almost always on beatbox, though he sometimes adds some vocals (especially noticable in this song in the opening). Avi does sometimes help out with the beatboxing, but he usually sticks to bass afaik. Avi and Kevin usually trade off on the 'other' noises (wind/whooshing effects, etc.) Avi also does overtone singing, which you will hear sometimes and contributes a really cool effect when it's used.
    Kirstie can go higher than Mitch (and he goes lower than her, at least from what we've heard of them), but they both occupy a similar range and they can do amazing harmonies together. They used Mitch for a lot of the highs in their earlier stuff, and there's a bunch of theories as to why - Kirstin was less secure about her voice, or that her voice was more fragile on tours are the two I see most often. Recently, Mitch has said he's tired of just doing high notes (and they were doing 2 tours a year for 2 years in a row so it was probably wearing on him), and Kirstie also had a stint on Broadway that raised her confidence greatly, and she's been taking more of the high notes as of late. Her highs are lovely and her mid range is absolutely gorgeous. She can also do whistle notes (people say Mitch can, but he's the first to admit that he doesn't actually do it because the technique he uses is an inhaled squeak)
    It's easy to point to Mitch's high notes as his cool factor, but really for me the coolest thing about his singing has always been his control. He's absolutely nuts in that regard and he can just run all over his registers. He's also apparently the most consistent singer live.
    Scott (blond guy) has the largest general singing range in the group (unless you're counting Mitch's inhaled squeaks, which I don't because it's unlikely he'll ever use those in a song and also whistle notes are just a different technique all together and can be done irregardless of range) - he covers bass when the bass singer is singing (you would have heard it in Hallelujah when Avi was singing) and he can go very high in his falsettos (not sure what the best example song would be). Scott is also known for his riffs and runs, and he really shines on R&B songs imho, but he has the most versatile voice in the group.
    Kevin is beyond talented - on top of his beatboxing, he's an incredible cellist who's played at Carnegie Hall (and he plays like 4 other instruments). Scott found him on CZcams doing 'celloboxing' (playing cello while beatboxing), and PTX does some songs with cello were Kevin celloboxes. He also sings, and he has a lovely tenor (and he can go as high as Mitch - they sometimes argue in interviews/PTXperience about who goes higher, they each say it's the other). He has his own channel where he does looping covers, with various instruments, loop pedals, beatboxing, and singing. It's absolutely cool to check out. He also has perfect pitch
    Avi as you know has some crazy lows, but his singing voice is also beautiful. He also can do overtone singing, as I mentioned earlier. After leaving the group he's made some solo music which is gorgeous, definitely worth a look.
    Matt (who replaced Avi, you would have seen him on the Sound of Silence) doesn't go as low as Avi, but has a tone much more similar to Scott's and PTX has been playing with their sound together a bit. He's also got a wonderful singing voice, and it looks like Scott is more comfortable taking bass (either just in general, or from Matt) so we're getting to hear him in lead parts quite a bit which is very nice to hear. I think one of the great tragedies of Avi's time with PTX was how infrequently he got to take lead parts, for such a gorgeous voice
    Wow this turned very long haha. And my two fave voices got the shortest bits lmaoo

You aren't as likely to get blocked for their live stuff, and this Popspring video is especially good because it was officially filmed by MTV, so the quality is class.

    I think Scott (tall blond baritone) is naturally the most extraverted. But in live performances, you can also see him smiling proudly at his old schoolmates Mitch and Kirstie when they do great on solos. Yes, on songs like this they all do instrumental effects. Avi does the epic bass slides, and he can do overtone singing (where he does 2 notes at once). Kevin can do just about any percussion, but Avi often does the bass drum.

      I believe that, for vocal performance, Mitch's range and Kirstie's range are nearly IDENTICAL (today 2/2021).
      As their voices have seasoned, everyone's range has increased.
      All 5 (including Avi or Matt) seem to handle a lot of the tenor range, if not all of it, beautifully. Plus, Kevin often fills in on the high end (soprano range) where we expect either Kirstie or Mitch.

Kirstin - Goggles - Mezzo Soprano plus some extra soprano. Mitch - Dark hair, bedazzled face - tenor to very high tenor.
    The key trick is that their individual ranges are quite wide, so there is a lot of range overlap, so the arrangements can have really good "movement" where a higher part can slide under a lower part and vice versa. You don't really think about it, but your brain really likes the movement.
    Avi being bass does a lot of bass guitar part and will often follow Kevin's kick drum with a heavy bass push. They are a very tight team. I'm not sure, but I think most of the drops are a duo thing between Kevin and Avi if they have a very low component.
    When Avi is on a solo or otherwise busy, then Scott covers bass and does rather well, but I assume they arrange it within Scott's bass range rather than Avi's extreme bass range.
    Scott has often been the opening "front man" on many songs, especially the earlier ones. I suspect he just had more confidence to open at the start of their career. At this point any of them can break the ice. Mitch is a very confident singer now. Kirstin has been on Broadway (Kinky Boots). Avi now has a solo and collaboration career. I suppose Kevin isn't quite ready to open a Pentatonix song, but he does his own solo work also, so he probably could.
    They do a great version of Radioactive with Lindsey Stirling (violin dancer) and Kevin celloboxes!
    One of their fun little fantasy songs is Come Along (cover, but not well known). You'll love Mitch in that.
    Matt Sallee is the new bass since 2018 or so. He is a lot of fun. Try a post season Christmas song with You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch, which has a great bass lead.

    👉Scott Hoying - tall blonde guy sings baritone, takes over the bass when the bass has a lead. Hits siiiick falsettos, KING of riffs and runs VERY SOULFUL!!
    👉Kirstie (Kirstin) Maldonado- mezzo soprano, Alto
    👉Mitch Grassi - counter tenor
    👉Kevin Olusula (K.O) - beat boxer, tenor, cello
    👉Avi Kaplan - bass / basso profundo, baritone, overtone
    ......👉Matt Sallee (replaced Avi in late 2017) bass, baritone.

    This song features Mitch. For Kirsty being featured, check out "Be My Eyes". As I understand it, Scott does most of the arranging. To get the full spectrum of their abilities, you need to listen to multiple songs as they tend to rotate through the group. Matt, the new guy, gets featured in Mr. Grinch. Also, check out their cover of "Radioactive" which they did in collaboration with Lindsey Stirling. Also, thank you for the birthday present. Jan 29.

      @@WhatTheBlastt Thank you, and I look forward to watching you react to my favorite music videos. You may want to look into Steam Powered Giraffe. They don't have amazing bass singers, but they are very entertaining. If you choose, begin with "Brass Goggles" which gives much of the background lore for the group.

    Look them up and add their names to your Google doc sheet with their music.
    Scott (light hair baritone most leads).
    Mitch (very high range with normal tenor range).
    Kristen - Kristie (rhames with thirty) is a soprano.
    Avi (sounds like aaaavvvvv) amazing bass, has about a 6 active range.
    Kevin - the most amazing beat boxer, he also sings in a regular/tenor range. He also has a slightly higher range than Mitch when he want to.
    Matt - newest bass singer, Avi helped pick him for the group before he left in 2017, he also has an amazing range.
    Hope this helps you out.

    It is an Original. Listen to Gold (a cover), and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (their 2nd Grammy). Then, can you listen to some of Avi Kaplan's solo stuff please. He left PTX around Sept 2017 (although it was announced in June or July 2017). Very different music, but maybe you'd like Change on the Rise. New here. Thanks!

    There's a thing some singers can do where they produce an absolutely pure timbre - if they can put enough vocal power behind it and hold a note exactly for a few seconds, they can break things if their pitch matches the frequency of those things. In PTX, both Mitch and Avi have broken speakers when the sound guy forgot and left the amps up too high. Kirsten and Mitch have both shattered glasses without even an amp.

  • @kylefrandsen2665
    @kylefrandsen2665 Před 3 lety +1

    You can go off on different tangents with Pentatonix side-projects. If you're into the beatboxer (Kevin Olusola), check out his "KOver" of "Down" by Marian Hill. If you're into the bass singer (Avi Kaplan), check out his solo song "Change on the Rise" or his collaboration with another a-cappella group, Home Free, covering Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire". Mitch Grassi (unusually high male voice) and Scott Hoying (looks like the front man) have a side project called Superfruit that includes some comedy and songs where Kirsten Maldonado (female member) sometimes guests. Maybe check out Superfruit's "Guy.exe" or their "Frozen Medley".
    Matt Salle replaced Avi Kaplan as bass when he left amicably due to personal/family issues. He's in later videos like "Sound of Silence", "Mad World" and "My Favorite Things"

    I suspect that Scott often opens becuase he's right in the middle of the scale, allowing the other voices to bring the song up or down later. Also, he reputedly has a four octave range, and he can do backing in either end when it's anyone else's solo.

    One thing to keep in mind is that if you follow the Fair Use rules properly then your reaction might get blocked initially but if you challenge the block it will often get lifted in about 48 hours or so. You can post up after the block is lifted. But, you have to follow the Fair Use rules for that to happen, since the initial block is just almost automatic.

    @FabiusBR1 Před 3 lety +1

    Fun reaction! Just subbed. To answer a few of your questions. The drops were Avi, the bass. He is insanely talented, but then they all are.
    Mitch often sings higher than Kirstie in their performances, but every now and then Kirstie will show her range and it is impressive. I think they let Mitch have a lot of the high parts because it is more impressive coming from a guy. But I think Kirstie can go just a little higher. Both sing whistle notes effortlessly.
    Kirstie has a beautiful lower register, but can also sing like a Disney Princess. World class talent, like the rest of them.
    Scott, the blond guy, is out front more often and may have the most versatile voice, but they all get plenty of chances to take the lead. PTX is good about giving the lead to the singer whose voice suits the song best.
    Kevin is super human. The sounds he can make are insane. And he is a concert-quality cello player.

    Her name is Kirstin. Pronounced Cur-stin.
    The bass is Avi. Pronounced ahh-vee.
