      Dropping octaves is actually one of the easier intervals, especially when you practice part singing a lot. You learn to audiate the difference between octaves very naturally. Harder intervals would be 7ths or 6ths.

      @@severusreynolds5247 No actually, Scott cannot sing deeper than Matt, otherwise Scott would be the "new" bass man in Pentatonix😂. So does for Mitch, he cannot "sing" higher than Bb5. From that aspect, Scott do have the widest range in PTX, at least that's what himself, Mitch and Avi said in some interviews years ago. I believe from their understanding, vocal range = the notes you can apply into singing. If let the vocal range = any pitch you can hit, then I don't think thier vocal range will be so impressive for so many people. Because many people can shout or squeak a really high pitch sound, or bubble a quite low note. But when it comes to singing, everyone knows that there is no way somebody can sing so beautifully at that high as Mitch or at that low as Avi.

The reason I watch you and no other, is because you explain why they made, the choices they have made logically. You use the logic of the English sentence structure and linguistics to explain why certain notes hit a consonant or vowel and I can follow that. I am in tears every video you post because with your explanations, I can grasp emotional connotation. Thank you so much, for your patience and technically impartial critiques.

    as a side note there's the backstory to the song (yes I'm that old that I remember when it first came out. anyway here ya go
    What is the story behind the sound of silence?
    'The Sound of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel is a song written in the 1960's about the extent to which people suppressed their true views about the Vietnam War. The poetic voice is the poet himself and it is through his vision that we are made aware of the great disappointment that he feels at the peoples inability to say what is on their minds.

      Yes, both are great while being so different versions. Or maybe that's why they are both so great. Disturbed's version is quite dark, anxious even and this builds up to a sort of "gospel choir uplifting praise" style.
      I guess thr reason why both versions work is that they have the passion and emotion in it. The lyrics include emotions in them and after hearing Disturbed covering this I realised that S&G originally didn't get everything out from this. But of course we have to remember that time wouldn't have been ready for Disturbed's style version. And I'd think that this choir type thing wouldn't have gotten much attention either.

    Kirsten is the most underrated member, her high register cuts through the harmony and anchors the high range with a pure, bright female tone. Mitch's counter tenor is amazing too but he's on the falsetto side whereas Kirsten is a bit more natural and pure. Mitch can shine in certain ranges where a high, almost electronic sound is required like Blinding lights and Daft Punk but Kirsten is so rich and solid with her forward voice.
    Scott is the next underrated, his tone and expression is so rich and smooth, he switches from a softer raspy subdued tone to a rich forward placement effortlessly as well as filling in as bass when Matt or Avi is singing.

Like someone has a gun to their heads. Just so much passion.

    You are so very correct. Their arrangements are S.I.C.K. Then add in the talent and hard work every one of them brings to the group, and it's no wonder that when they do a song, 99% of the time, it's incredible. They have an amazing ability to wring out the emotion from every song they do: Joyous, sad, dance beat, whatever. You. Will. Feel. It.
    I will say though that out of the original and remakes of this song, I like Disturb's the most, but this version is still (as you show us) a master-class of how to sing right.

    I’ve been waiting since Feb 15 for you to do this reaction. For me, this was Kirstin’s best performance to date. But my favorite moment in the song, and this may sound funny, is Scott coming through on a amazing note above everyone else on the very last “Sound” at the end of the song. Gives me chills. IMHO, this is PTX’s best cover yet. 💜

      I truly don’t think that anyone in PTX is under appreciated anymore and I don’t think Scott ever was.
      From the Sing Off, he was put forward as the spokesperson and did the majority of the lead songs, but from a Pentaholic perspective, I have witnessed when we all started to appreciate each of them individually.
      We were wowed by Mitch’ Voice first. Then Avi. Always Scott then, one day we started to pay attention to what Kevin was doing and were So Amazed! Finally, people who formerly stated that Kirstin was the weakest link, woke up and saw the amount of work she was doing to make the harmony sound flawless, and her solo projects boosted her confidence, then began to see/hear how amazing her voice is too AND appreciate her range, no one on this group is under appreciated, because they are all SO FABULOUS!
      Now Matt is here. We have already had glimpses of his range, the soulful rich melody of his voice and of course his Bass notes. There is so much more to look forward to with him, but they’re ALL fully appreciated for what they do and how they do it! I love that they all get a chance to vocally shine in songs! That’s what makes them so good. They work together really well and that shows too!
      Pentatonix is an amazing group that no one is underestimating or under appreciating!

    I noticed that Scott didn't do one single riff or run, and I actually liked that choice for this number.
    I'm so glad you said that Matt fits in well with the rest of the group, and welcomed him! Earlier I heard a reactor say that Matt doesn't fit in with them, and he wished he'd leave. 😠 I thought that was an awful thing to say and completely untrue. I educated him on the error of his ways... he doesn't even know what he's talking about. YOU, however DO know what you're talking about, and you said Matt fits in well in the group!

      2.) A drop from high to low like that is a tremendous skill and anyone who can perform at that level is certainly par for the others in the group.
      3.) To speak anything less than glowing remarks about Matt is a slap in the face of the rest of the group. They chose him. They know, as a group, what they needed; the character and skill sets that would most surely fill that space.
