Pentatonix, if you love Xmas songs, you have to do Mary Did You Know and Amazing Grace. Without out a doubt the best, right up there with Hallelujah. Sound of Silence is incredible too, it’s just not Xmas related. Also check out Home Free’s version of O’Holy Night (with Xmas in mind) and Man of Constant Sorrow (not Xmas related but phenomenal nonetheless). Those are literally the best of the best of this kind of music. One more bonus one is Marcelito Pomoy’s version of The Prayer (live on the Radio version). Seriously, if you want to see mind-blowíng life changing stuff, watch what I suggested and listen with good headphones. Best of luck with your channel, and my name is Sal by the way (I had to change my user name because of someone trollíng me).
You are in for a treat with Avi's solo work. We know he is still very close to Kevin, at least, in the group, and his leaving was voluntary for his life balance. He's much happier now and you can hear it in his music. Matt isn't a basso profundo like Avi, but his bass has a beautiful sound that I think you'll approve of. He fits into the band beautifully and brings so much joyous energy with him wherever he goes. It was hard to see Avi go, but I am not sad or disappointed. Pentatonix and Avi are all just fine.
Do not deny one single tear your lovely heart sheds! I'm an 83 year old Viet Nam Veteran and wonderful people like you, are medicine for all that has happened against me and by my own hands. I've heard this song at least 20 times and trust me, your tenderness added to this song, pulled the tears out of me. God Bless you Little Girl and keep you sweet and safe.
It's a beautiful and very moving song written by Avi and Kevin. Fun fact: in order to get the snow falling upwards, they had to film those parts in reverse, so everyone had to learn to sing the chorus backwards.
@@antoinette2840 Kevin brought the idea of the song to his best friend, Avi, who then used his training in composition and arranging to complete the song, working with Ben Bram to perfect it.
Avi has a new solo out this week. "When I'm a Fool" He uses his wide range very effectively. Also, you will LOVE the Pentatonix Christmas music. They are well known for their Christmas works.
Well you are in for a treat for Dec. PTX is Christmas Silent Night, Oh Come all Ye Faithful, Joy to the World, Carol of the Bells, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The First Noel, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing are just a few and all from the Avi years.
After ten years of success and incredible fan support, Scott wrote a song called 'Thank You '. He thanks his significant other, his band mates, and the fans. The song is Christmas themed, and has both a piano cello accompaniment. I think you'll like their cover of 'Oh come all ye faithful ' also. Home Free covers 'Do you hear what I hear' . These are my Christmas suggestions.
We are widely known as Pentaholics. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful original song by PTX. Edit: Their inspiration for this song was one called My Heart With You, which they released in last year’s Christmas album, Evergreen. I highly recommend that song, and in fact every song on Evergreen.
I’m sorry, for some reason we iPad users cannot access Community pages. The best I can do is post them here. My absolute favorites are Mary, Did You Know, The First Noel, O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night, That’s Christmas To Me. These are all older songs. Newer ones with bassist Matt Sallee that I particularly like are Where Are You Christmas, Mr Grinch, Thank You, Auld Lang Syne, Over The River, The Prayer.

It’s so hard to remember all the requests if they are not in one place … but I am working on a discord and will share that if its ready and I will make a post on my Instagram . Thank you for letting me know !!
If you want more 5-part harmonies, listen to Light in the Hallway written by Scott but Avi takes lead and My Heart with You off of last year's Christmas album. For Avi's solo work try First Place I Go or All is Well off of his Floating On A Dream album. For his really pronounced bass, listen to Black Is the Color of My True Loves Hair with Avi and Peter Hollins or Change On the Rise. I'm with you, I love Avi's rich, warm bass.
Yes, Light in the Hallway is a very beautiful song. I sometimes sing the words to myself when I can't sleep, and it works! Here is a link to a wonderful live performance in Lisbon, Spain: czcams.com/video/uhUhFVCIxgo/video.html
Pentatonix corners the market on Christmas! You really can't go wrong with any of them, they have seven (I think?) Christmas albums, and they just released another one at midnight today! Some of my favorites are O Come All Ye Faithful, Mary Did You Know, Little Drummer Boy, 12 Days of Christmas, The Prayer, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (which they won a Grammy for), You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch, and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen :) Also their original Christmas Songs, That's Christmas to Me, Evergreen, and Star On Top :)
It’s an extraordinarily beautiful song and I shed a tear, well more, together with you. For Pentatonix Christmas songs I highly recommend “Coventry Carol”, it does not have a video but it’s absolutely stunning. So far, Avi has recorded two EPs and one full album. If you’d like to check out some of his songs I suggest “Quarter Past Four”, “I’m Only Getting Started”, and the Sunset Sound live recording of “All Is Well”.
"Coventry Carol" is a good choice. They did it in deference to Avi, whose favorite Christmas song it is, and he sings lead on it. I also recommend you react to Avi's original sing "All Is Well", as recorded by 7 Layers Sessions in a church in Utrecht, Netherlands during his European tour earlier this year. The amazing acoustics enhance his naturally resonant voice. czcams.com/video/sNjbAAjF4Tg/video.html
Yes, Avi is still loved. He wanted to stay home with sick family, so left Pentatonix so as to not hold them back. Avi has his own stuff now, but I don't watch alot of it. 😁😁😎
His mother was battling cancer while he and his sister Esther were touring around the world with PTX (Esther was tour manager), and they flew home to LA whenever possible to be with her, then flying back out, which took a toll on them both. The incessant touring became too much, and insomnia became all too frequent for him. He's recently finally been talking about how he did feel constricted creatively on multiple levels, so being able to create his own music was what he was meant to do. His catalog of original songs is amazing and broad-ranging genre-wise. It was the best move for everyone.
A wonderful Avi lead is Standing By - there is no official video sadly, but it's one of my favourite PTX songs, and there is a visualiser of it. There is a live (fan cam) video out there in CZcams land. I see your reactions reference lyrics and mental health - there are two songs I'd like to suggest from Pentatonix, both originals and from their later album. The first is Never Gonna Cry Again - it's a Mitch lead and is about life in the spotlight of social media/internet - it's upbeat but has a strong message. The other is Anchor, also a Mitch lead, and about relationships. Sadly neither has an official video, just a visualiser. Even if you don't do a reaction to them, you may like to listen for your own pleasure. Just an FYI - you may find that you get copyright blocked - if you do, you can cover the video with text or similar which may help if that occurs! Hope to see more PTX reactions, especially as we head into the festive season!
The song was almost haunting and I don't remember the original giving me that, like that chill down to my bones. She really just has such a unique sound that I really felt like I wasn't really ready for her. I am sure during the song some of you probably noticed that my mouth was hanging open and I had to remind myself to actually close my mouth so I don't look like a big dummy. I am not really sure why shes not better known here in the US, because honestly, before people were telling me in the comments to listen to her, I had never even heard of her. But somethings telling me that's probably not going to be the case for too much longer because she has a lot of talent and she is super unique. I feel like that's going to take her really far. Thank you guys for recommending this. She was awesome.

Welcome to the wonderful rabbit hole known as pentatonix. They won the 2011 sing off and took off from there. They've won 3 grammys for daft punk, dance of the sugar plum fairies, and jolene w/ dolly parton all 3 are highly recomended. There are so many videos in their catalog...way too many to list but I will endevor to give you some choices for future reactions. some covers are Bohemian rhapsody (quite simply the finest cover of that classic rock song), wizard of ahhhs ( a collection of 17 pop songs arranged to tell the classic story of wizard of oz), mad world, the prayer, royals, carol of the bells, say something, radioactive, can you feel the love tonite, problem, evelotion of music, little drummer boy, my favorite things, 12 days of christmas, god rest ye merry gentlemen, and so many more....some originals include...sing, happy now, love me when u dont, coffee in bed, be my eyes, never gonna cry again, the lucky ones.....during the height of the pandemic....they released an album called "at home" (completely recorded in their own homes seperately and then mixed.....songs include...home, blinding lights, when the party's over, dreams, break my heart. Please do more pentatonix reactions. You may run into issues with the video being blocked...just put some sort of filter on the video...we really care about the music. As you do more pentatonix reactions more people will subscribe to your channel as us fans of pentatonix called pentaholics luv seeing people react to their extensive library of videos. Have a blessed day.
Never be ashamed of feeling the emotion and giving us that authentic emotional reaction! This group has a tendency to draw those feelings out of us when listening to them. Please check out their cover of John Lennon's 'Imagine'! It is another tear jerker so be sure to bring tissues. Also check out 'Amazing Grace', and 'The Prayer'!
I think that ppl who don’t cry at music this beautiful are psychopaths..I’m afraid of finding “new” ones like this of theirs that just blow me away, and I was a pro solo horn player my whole life..
I originally thought based on the title that it was a version of a Whitney Houston or Bryan Adams song. I was so wrong and so not disappointed. This is an original song written by PTX from PTX volume 2. It is (in my opinion) their best EP, but not their best full album.
What a beautiful reaction, believe me, we’ve all been there with Pentatonix but I promise, they won’t all make you cry. There’s a lot of joyful / happy songs in their catalog. I’ll go to the community page and recommend some that will make you smile ❤️🙌🙌
Avi has a solo career and its fantastic. Please give it a listen. You should listen to Full moon it is Hauntingly beautiful. Hope to see more of Avi soon.
The more you listen to PTX the more you will appreciate all of their vocal, writing, arranging, & even instrument playing talents. They all are very skillful & have a wide to very wide vocal range. They are always emotionally expressive when singing. Their covers are never boring & typically have little surprises that make them stand out from the originals while still showing their appreciation for the originals. They are masters at making medleys & mashups. They have originals in various styles & genres. Though they are an a cappella band, they have a handful of songs which feature Kevin playing cello while also being his usual stellar self at beatboxing (or singing), a skill he calls celloboxing. There's also a few that feature Scott on piano. Then they all have side music, solos & collabs, which aren't a cappella.
Thank you so much for reacting! I knew you would love it . Pentatonix always makes you FEEL the music. Avi’s solo work is amazing. You should definitely react Much ❤ Jamie Weber Pentaholic from Louisiana
Such a beautiful reaction; I was crying along with you! Since you really feel music, you’re in for quite a ride with Avi’s solo work! I wonder if you’re instinctively drawn to Avi not only because of his deep bass but also bc of how emotive he is. There have been more than a few mental health professionals who have commented about using his solo music to help their clients, so you could be sensing this in him. Just a thought, but I know I am completely drawn to him for this reason. Well that and his deep, angelic voice. 😇 Check out “When I’m a Fool” (sunset sound live version), “Change on the Rise” and “Floating on a Dream” for some yummy bass (he harmonizes with himself in his music). For some deep (therapeutic) lyrics, check out “Quarter Past Four”, “Try to Get it Right” and “First Place I Go”. You can’t go wrong with any of his music, though. Subbed to follow your journey. 🥰
Thank you for the heart felt reaction. This original song was written and arranged by Avi and Kevin, with input from the others, as always. The tight harmony and deep sentiments are similar to some of the songs Avi is doing now, and I am so glad he was part of PTX so we could get an idea of his music early on.
Thank you ! Will you put that suggestion at the community post where I ask for Christmas songs ? I will put all the songs in a bowl and pick 24 songs for advent . One song for everyday until Christmas
Such a beautiful song! Avi and Kevin wrote this. Avi's solo work is superb. Nothing like Pentatonix but start with 'Change on the Rise'. I totally get how a low voice hits you - Avi's voice isn't just low, it's also rich and warm. Listen to 'Standing By', one of the very few Pentatonix songs that Avi took the lead on. (There isn't a video, although there are a few live versions). Listen to the 7 Layers Session version of his song 'All is Well'. Just him, his guitar and some amazing acoustics. You'll love it! PTX have done some great Christmas songs 'Mary did you Know?' 'Little Drummer Boy' 'The First Noel' 'Silent Night' and 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' are just a few!
I just heard a live version of Avi's 'When I'm a Fool'. Oh my goodness, it's amazing! Beautiful low voice but no tears - you'll be too busy rocking! You're going to love this czcams.com/video/LE24UTH3pmQ/video.html
You should react to Change on the Rise by Avi and Come Along by Pentatonix. Both songs were released on the same day and then you understand why Avi had to leave Pentatonix. Both are great btw.
Matt (Avi's replacement) and Scott are a perfect example of how _tonal quality_ is what truly determines voice classification as opposed to _range._ Not sure if Avi actually meets the technical definition of _basso profundo_ but it doesn't seem unreasonable to call him that; his high end was more typical for classic basses. Matt is a lyric bass, and Scott is a lyric baritone ("lyric" in this context denoting they have ranges more extended than typical); even so, their actual ranges are very nearly identical. However, they _sound very different_ within the same octaves.
Avi's opera training was specifically as a basso profundo, and he'd been offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera at the same time he was approached by Scott and Ben to join PTX for The Sing Off.
This is my favorite PTX song. The dissonance and resonance of the various harmonies are just beautiful. Like you I am a sucker for low voices and Avi’s voice is a once in a generation voice.
Pentatonix don't only do sad/moving songs. They also do uplifting happy fast songs. Check out their original "Sing" and try celeb spotting! I guess before you get too deep into Pentatonix, you should see "The Beginners Guide" which has a whole wealth of snippets and a run down of the members and history. Created a few years ago, so not totally up-to-date.
Pentatonix are the KIngs and Queens of Christmas with many double platinum albums of Christmas music. Their latest Christmas album is being released tomorrow (Oct. 28). Check it out on their channel. I just subbed. Crying is perfectly acceptable. We get it. Check out Avi Kaplan's channel. Matt, the new bass, did an amazing job on Pentatonix (aka PTX)'s version of "Sound of Silence". Thank you! I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
@@MommaTaunT Avi and Matt both are very different basses. That is true. I have seen live performances of both, and I like Matt's energy. He's a few years younger than the others. Avi is a few years older.
Beautiful song, and an original of theirs. Avi just does his own thing and yes they are still friends. Avi is a home body type person and just couldn't do the touring that they were doing. Matt Sallee to his place in 2017 and has done a great job. Avi, "Change on the Rise". Lovely reaction, we Pentaholics will ride with you. PTX does have , with their new album, 5.5 hours of Christmas music. All we play Christmas eve at my house. Lovely reaction.
If you are into low voices, you need to check out some sacred music and opera, particularly Russian music. There's a musicologist who once said that a society gets the voice types that they have the music for. For the last few decades society has been about the boy bands. People admire the high notes and that's what singers train to do. I haven't sung in a choir for a while that had any real basses. But the Russian Orthodox church and Russian composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov write vert low bass parts, so there are lots of Russian singers that can really go low. There's even an "Oktavist" tradition where singers train to sing an octave lower than the normal baritone range, and there's a CZcams channel called "The Oktavism Channel" that has pieces and compilations featuring low basses. Here's a sample -- czcams.com/video/Gv0nuACLqJE/video.html Or here's a Rachmaninov piece that I have sung a few times, but we never had a bass who could hit those last notes -- czcams.com/video/xW0QbUC0cEU/video.html
I see you reacted to "Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd. As the Pentaholics will tell you, PTX don't do covers, they do upgrades! I much prefer their version of "Blinding Lights" to the original. Pentatonix have covered many songs I was not fond of and produced songs that have become some of my favourites. Don't forget that PTX also have many originals too and probably the largest Xmas collection of songs that anyone has done.
Bring your tissues ! I know I should have and will NEVER listen to this without . Yes … spoiler alert , I did not make it without crying 😔
Pentatonix, if you love Xmas songs, you have to do Mary Did You Know and Amazing Grace. Without out a doubt the best, right up there with Hallelujah. Sound of Silence is incredible too, it’s just not Xmas related.
Also check out Home Free’s version of O’Holy Night (with Xmas in mind) and Man of Constant Sorrow (not Xmas related but phenomenal nonetheless).

Don't worry about crying. We all do it the first time. And it's just Pentatonix. Not The Pentatonix. Fyi.
Do not deny one single tear your lovely heart sheds! I'm an 83 year old Viet Nam Veteran and wonderful people like you, are medicine for all that has happened against me and by my own hands. I've heard this song at least 20 times and trust me, your tenderness added to this song, pulled the tears out of me. God Bless you Little Girl and keep you sweet and safe.
🙏❤️, this means the world to me, thank you !
It's a beautiful and very moving song written by Avi and Kevin. Fun fact: in order to get the snow falling upwards, they had to film those parts in reverse, so everyone had to learn to sing the chorus backwards.
What a great fun fact and what an amazing effort to do that for the video!
Thank you for that I didn't know that Kevin and Avi wrote this song. I have Avi's channel saved. I love Avi.

The number of Christmas song Pentatonix has could fill up the entire month of December. I recommend doing more than one per day.
I do not have many entries yet at the community post so you can put your favs there 🥰
O come all ye faithful by Pentatonix will blow you away. It’s joyful.
Avi needed a break. There were family health issues and a hectic schedule that were hard for him. Check out his original song Change on the Rise.
After ten years of success and incredible fan support, Scott wrote a song called 'Thank You '. He thanks his significant other, his band mates, and the fans. The song is Christmas themed, and has both a piano cello accompaniment.
I think you'll like their cover of 'Oh come all ye faithful ' also.

Pentaholic! I've been one since 2012. Can't get enough!!
My Heart With You is another great 5 part harmony. It’s also more recent.
If you want more 5-part harmonies, listen to Light in the Hallway written by Scott but Avi takes lead and My Heart with You off of last year's Christmas album.

As you do more pentatonix reactions more people will subscribe to your channel as us fans of pentatonix called pentaholics luv seeing people react to their extensive library of videos. Have a blessed day.
Thank you 🥰
Never be ashamed of feeling the emotion and giving us that authentic emotional reaction! This group has a tendency to draw those feelings out of us when listening to them. Please check out their cover of John Lennon's 'Imagine'! It is another tear jerker so be sure to bring tissues. Also check out 'Amazing Grace', and 'The Prayer'!
I think that ppl who don’t cry at music this beautiful are psychopaths..I’m afraid of finding “new” ones like this of theirs that just blow me away, and I was a pro solo horn player my whole life..
I originally thought based on the title that it was a version of a Whitney Houston or Bryan Adams song. I was so wrong and so not disappointed.
This is an original song written by PTX from PTX volume 2. It is (in my opinion) their best EP, but not their best full album.
Thanks again for this reaction! You have no reason to be ashamed of your tears. Let your feelings show. it's a genuine reaction.
Thank you
What a beautiful reaction, believe me, we’ve all been there with Pentatonix but I promise, they won’t all make you cry. There’s a lot of joyful / happy songs in their catalog. I’ll go to the community page and recommend some that will make you smile ❤️🙌🙌
Thank you 🥰
I would recommend the daft punk melody next. They won a Grammy for it ❤
This one still makes me cry. It is beautifully written, and beautifully sung.
every. damn. time. No matter what I'm doing, if this song comes on my playlist I have to stop and have a good cry.
Avi has a solo career and its fantastic. Please give it a listen. You should listen to Full moon it is Hauntingly beautiful. Hope to see more of Avi soon.
If you see todays video, in the end I am saying just that 😉
Yep I watched. He is my favorite artist right now. His range is amazing. He does all the harmonizes himself. (Amazing talent)
wait until you hear Silent Night. older video so Avi singing bass
Please enter that one on my community post 🥰
Yes its beautiful!
Avi has a great solo career. Recommend his Change On The Rise.
Recommend Pentatonix’s Amazing Grace.
Welcome to the club.
They're other Viber that makes me very every time is Imagine. It has an even more impressive "wall of sound" than Sound of Silence
I subbed to see more PTX reactions. ❤
Thank you 🥰
The more you listen to PTX the more you will appreciate all of their vocal, writing, arranging, & even instrument playing talents. They all are very skillful & have a wide to very wide vocal range. They are always emotionally expressive when singing. Their covers are never boring & typically have little surprises that make them stand out from the originals while still showing their appreciation for the originals. They are masters at making medleys & mashups. They have originals in various styles & genres.
Though they are an a cappella band, they have a handful of songs which feature Kevin playing cello while also being his usual stellar self at beatboxing (or singing), a skill he calls celloboxing. There's also a few that feature Scott on piano. Then they all have side music, solos & collabs, which aren't a cappella.
Thank you so much for reacting! I knew you would love it .
Pentatonix always makes you FEEL the music.
Avi’s solo work is amazing. You should definitely react
Much ❤

Thank you for being a Patreon and asking for this one ! 🥰
Such a beautiful reaction; I was crying along with you! Since you really feel music, you’re in for quite a ride with Avi’s solo work! I wonder if you’re instinctively drawn to Avi not only because of his deep bass but also bc of how emotive he is. There have been more than a few mental health professionals who have commented about using his solo music to help their clients, so you could be sensing this in him. Just a thought, but I know I am completely drawn to him for this reason. Well that and his deep, angelic voice. 😇
Check out “When I’m a Fool” (sunset sound live version), “Change on the Rise” and “Floating on a Dream” for some yummy bass (he harmonizes with himself in his music). For some deep (therapeutic) lyrics, check out “Quarter Past Four”, “Try to Get it Right” and “First Place I Go”. You can’t go wrong with any of his music, though. Subbed to follow your journey. 🥰
Thank you for these kind words🥰
Thank you for the heart felt reaction. This original song was written and arranged by Avi and Kevin, with input from the others, as always. The tight harmony and deep sentiments are similar to some of the songs Avi is doing now, and I am so glad he was part of PTX so we could get an idea of his music early on.
Thank you
Sweet reaction to a beautiful song. Wait till you listen to My Heart With You. PTX=Best Christmas music you can find.
Thank you ! Will you put that suggestion at the community post where I ask for Christmas songs ? I will put all the songs in a bowl and pick 24 songs for advent . One song for everyday until Christmas
It gets better!
Such a sad and beautiful song, thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤
Thank you 🥰
Such a beautiful song! Avi and Kevin wrote this. Avi's solo work is superb. Nothing like Pentatonix but start with 'Change on the Rise'. I totally get how a low voice hits you - Avi's voice isn't just low, it's also rich and warm. Listen to 'Standing By', one of the very few Pentatonix songs that Avi took the lead on. (There isn't a video, although there are a few live versions). Listen to the 7 Layers Session version of his song 'All is Well'. Just him, his guitar and some amazing acoustics. You'll love it! PTX have done some great Christmas songs 'Mary did you Know?' 'Little Drummer Boy' 'The First Noel' 'Silent Night' and 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' are just a few!
Thank you !
I just heard a live version of Avi's 'When I'm a Fool'. Oh my goodness, it's amazing! Beautiful low voice but no tears - you'll be too busy rocking! You're going to love this czcams.com/video/LE24UTH3pmQ/video.html
You should react to Change on the Rise by Avi and Come Along by Pentatonix. Both songs were released on the same day and then you understand why Avi had to leave Pentatonix. Both are great btw.
If you plan to react to very many PTX Christmas songs you need to start well before Dec 1st! They own Christmas! 💕🤗
Matt (Avi's replacement) and Scott are a perfect example of how _tonal quality_ is what truly determines voice classification as opposed to _range._ Not sure if Avi actually meets the technical definition of _basso profundo_ but it doesn't seem unreasonable to call him that; his high end was more typical for classic basses. Matt is a lyric bass, and Scott is a lyric baritone ("lyric" in this context denoting they have ranges more extended than typical); even so, their actual ranges are very nearly identical. However, they _sound very different_ within the same octaves.
Thank you
Avi's opera training was specifically as a basso profundo, and he'd been offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera at the same time he was approached by Scott and Ben to join PTX for The Sing Off.
This is my favorite PTX song. The dissonance and resonance of the various harmonies are just beautiful. Like you I am a sucker for low voices and Avi’s voice is a once in a generation voice.
True
Pentatonix don't only do sad/moving songs. They also do uplifting happy fast songs. Check out their original "Sing" and try celeb spotting!
I guess before you get too deep into Pentatonix, you should see "The Beginners Guide" which has a whole wealth of snippets and a run down of the members and history. Created a few years ago, so not totally up-to-date.
Pentatonix are the KIngs and Queens of Christmas with many double platinum albums of Christmas music. Their latest Christmas album is being released tomorrow (Oct. 28). Check it out on their channel. I just subbed. Crying is perfectly acceptable. We get it. Check out Avi Kaplan's channel. Matt, the new bass, did an amazing job on Pentatonix (aka PTX)'s version of "Sound of Silence". Thank you! I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
I did listen to Matt on my Patreon and that was beautiful too … but AVI’s voice reminds me more of my grandfather so when I hear him I am sold
@@MommaTaunT Avi and Matt both are very different basses. That is true. I have seen live performances of both, and I like Matt's energy. He's a few years younger than the others. Avi is a few years older.
@@celiachristman104 i can’t wait to discover it all
Avi Kaplan has a CZcams channel and has released an album and a few EPS. He has an original song called Change is on the Rise.
Beautiful reaction! ♥️
Thank you
Beautiful song, and an original of theirs. Avi just does his own thing and yes they are still friends. Avi is a home body type person and just couldn't do the touring that they were doing. Matt Sallee to his place in 2017 and has done a great job. Avi, "Change on the Rise". Lovely reaction, we Pentaholics will ride with you. PTX does have , with their new album, 5.5 hours of Christmas music. All we play Christmas eve at my house. Lovely reaction.
Thank you for this sweet comment 🥰
If you are into low voices, you need to check out some sacred music and opera, particularly Russian music. There's a musicologist who once said that a society gets the voice types that they have the music for. For the last few decades society has been about the boy bands. People admire the high notes and that's what singers train to do. I haven't sung in a choir for a while that had any real basses. But the Russian Orthodox church and Russian composers like Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov write vert low bass parts, so there are lots of Russian singers that can really go low. There's even an "Oktavist" tradition where singers train to sing an octave lower than the normal baritone range, and there's a CZcams channel called "The Oktavism Channel" that has pieces and compilations featuring low basses. Here's a sample -- czcams.com/video/Gv0nuACLqJE/video.html Or here's a Rachmaninov piece that I have sung a few times, but we never had a bass who could hit those last notes -- czcams.com/video/xW0QbUC0cEU/video.html

Oh boy… you are gonna have a real hard time with “My heart with you”…
Subbing for Avi- reactions! He is fantastic with, and even more without PTX (in my opinion)
You need to listen to the live version from Jacksonville, they had a bunch of anti LGBTQ+ protesters and they sang this over their chants
Please react to DImash, Home Free, and Voiceplay too. You will be glad you did. :)
I love u :}
🥰
Does anyone know if PTX still performs "Run To You"?
I see you reacted to "Blinding Lights" by the Weeknd. As the Pentaholics will tell you, PTX don't do covers, they do upgrades! I much prefer their version of "Blinding Lights" to the original. Pentatonix have covered many songs I was not fond of and produced songs that have become some of my favourites. Don't forget that PTX also have many originals too and probably the largest Xmas collection of songs that anyone has done.
If you are interested in bass voices look out for songs of the Bass Gang - four bass singers.
