pentatonix reaction pentatonix hallelujah reaction reaction video alex hefner
If you want to see them “sing an instrument” watch their rendition of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”. A song without words sung by a band without instruments. And the editing is amazing. They won their second Grammy for it.
Or God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
Yes to both. As a testament to how wonderful this group is and to their talent, not just musically but with their arrangements as well, I'd suggest "12 Days of Christmas" and "Little Drummer Boy." You can save them for next holiday season if you like. Neither song was a favorite of mine. In fact, I'd skip those tracks on albums because the lack of appeal was so utter and complete. Until the Pentatonix version...now they're playlist items. I'd also suggest "Hallelujah," "Sound of Silence," "Say Something..." Come to think of it just pick anything by Pentatonix. None of it's bad! LOL
Love this suggestion M MG!!
Absolutely!
A Cappella group singing Sugar Plum Fairy (with no words) and winning a Grammy.
The Classic Pentatonix song that got them attention back in the day was “Daft Punk”. You’ve gotta give it a listen man.
Definitely
And a Grammy if I'm not mistaken. And it was all recorded (literally) in a closet with close to zero budget.
$400, if I'm correct.
Seconded (actually I think I'm forth but in complete agreement). I think you'll love it
Their evolution of music was before that though
"This guy right here" is Avi Kaplan. He is an outstanding singer and bass. Check out Ring of Fire cover by Home Free featuring Avi to see his incredible range.
I prefer his song "Change on the Rise" or "It Knows Me", but the "Ring of Fire" cover was pretty good as well.
His songs "I'll get by" and "Change on the rise" about both fantastic.
Yes, I do too, but this cane to mind first as an example of his full multi octave range.
I love that song
Yes!! Ring of fire with home free is amazing!!! Check it out!!!
Finally!!!
And the megaphone is just a prop...Mitch does that part in concerts with just his voice.
I thought that was the case. Everytime someone tries to imitate, they get pretty close to making the same sound. So Mitch should be able to do it just fine.
Pentatonix covers of Radioactive, Sound Of Silence, Daft Punk Mashup, and Can't Hold Us are all ones I think you'd love
Don't forget: imagine, amazing grace,mad world
This one is mind blowing. They are in general but daft punk mash up 🤯
The Daft Punk mash up is phenomenal & is on a par with this for complexity but the speed they change at is just miraculously fast and gives it a whole new perspective too !!!! I’m a huge Queen fan, this is the first version that I truly love. There has been others I’ve liked and thought were decent, perhaps good but nothing in this league !! Truly top top notch ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏🎼🎶🎷🎵🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🌈🏴🏴🏴🏴🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. NMHRK
Lindsey sterling is in radioactive as well and was also really good!
@@jessereese9867 Lindsey Stirling
Please Do Hallelujah and The Sound of Silence by them. You could even try both live and video of Hallelujah! They are so impressive! They are awesome and so are you!!!
Yes these 3 never get old
When I first seen them do this my first thought was Freddy Mercury would flip shit and absolutely love this lol.
My cousin toured with them as a stage manager. Awesome group. Home free is another great accapella group that has covers of ring of fire and man of constant sorrow.
They did a rendition of Mary Did You Know that is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Accurate and Amazing Grace too.
It moves me to tears every time I hear it. Beautiful.
People out here reacting to Avi's deep ass voice like they do to CORPSE'S and I love it.
Gotta do Simon and Garfunkle's "Sound of Silence" - everyone gets a solo - if you don't tear up a little, your soul is dead.
Garfunkel but we get your point
@@JoshSullivan1986 Thanx...I dyslexic not are.
That was the song that brought me back to Pentatonix finally after Avi left.
Everyone exept of Kevin.
They did a Daft Punk medley you absolutely have to check out. For real, dude. You're gonna love it. Pentatonix is amazing.
The guy with the beard quit a few years back and found them a replacement as he had to look after his sick mum but now does solo stuff you should check out there "dance of the sugar plum fairy" from the Nutcracker they won Grammy from it !
That would be September 2017 so 3 years ago and he was there as a founding member through 6 years and 3 grammies so he is in a whole bunch of their most well known videos.
Definitely check out Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Pentatonix
Hip Hop eh? I suggest you react to PTX version of Macklemore's 'Can't Hold Us' next, it is upbeat and amazing. Then try Hallelujah (Cohen), Sound of Silence (Simon and Garfunkle), Imagine (Lennon), Gold (Kiara), Amazing Grace, Mary Did You Know, etc. Do the occasional PTX and your fan base will grow substantially as a result. Mitch (lead singer in this song) and Scott (tall blonde) have a separate group called Superfruit. Once again, hip hop, try their version of Anti Medley (Rihanna), I'm Feeling Myself (Minaj) or Hip Hop Goes Broadway I and II. The woman is named Kirstin and has a beautiful voice; she leads in Say Something (Aguilera) and Be My Eyes (PTX). The bass is Avi; he left the group and was replaced by Matt. Both are extremely talented with different and beautiful voices. The beatboxer is Kevin and he is probably the most singular talented individual you may every experience; he plays cello, beatboxes, plays saxophone, speaks fluent Chinese and much more. React to his solo version of Down (Hill). Scott the tall blonde is extremely versatile; check out his solo of 'I Should Tell Ya Momma On Ya' (Red).
The "Can't Hold Us" cover is the shit! The energy is off the charts! I like it a lot :)
Not to forget their original songs just to really shake up the mood on occasion 'Run to you' and 'Love Again' - the Bass (or Basso Profundo to be accurate) in this is Avi Kaplan - he was the original Bass with Kevin the Beat Boxer who gave the richness of the low notes here - Scott (the tall blonde) is also a Baritone and would swap out with Avi on occasion when Avi was singing in his higher register. Matt is the new Bass in the group (there was an amicable spilt a few years ago). Avi does have his own music now - which is awesome too
Kevin had also just finishes his pre-med at University when he joined Pentatonix.
Other great Pentatonix songs are their covers of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, Imagine by John Lennon, and The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. Also, their Daft Punk Medley will blow your mind.
Alex HAS to do the "Imagine" cover!!!!
I agree. Not only is it gorgeous, the message is something that *everyone* needs to see.
@@professionalvampire1 THANKYOU for replying Leslie...stay safe and healthy beautiful and have an amazing day!!!
OMG...get ready to fall down the Pentatonix hole! they are amazing.
Pentatonix- Radioactive w/ Lindsey Stirling, hands down my fav. Hallelujah is another great one.
PTX is amazing!!! Daft Punk Medley, Hallelujah, Come Along, and The Sound of Silence are all great ones to maybe check out next, but their catalogue of covers and originals is huge and totally worth diving into.
Please react to their version of Sound Of Silence... i was in tears.
Mitch does the guitar solo live without a megaphone and it sounds exactly the same! Also, one of the members of Queen endorsed this when it came out and gave them a shout-out!
Speaking of Queen...Check out VoicePlay's "Queen In 5 Minutes." It's a great acapella mashup that's a great listen for Queen fans.
It was BRIAN May
Seeing them so this live is an experience. It sounds even better! Mitch didn’t even need the megaphone for the guitar solo. They did it as an encore a couple of tours ago. So fantastic!!!
AHHH! I have been waiting for you to react to Pentatonix!!! I knew you’d love them!!
They do an incredible job with “Daft Punk”, “Hallelujah” “Can’t Hold Us” and “Evolution of Michael Jackson”.
PLEASE do more reactions to them! I’m looking forward to it!
Welcome, baby Pentaholic! I have literally been waiting over a YEAR for you to discover these guys! Daft punk needs to be next. And then, voiceplay and home free!!
Duuuuuude it makes me so happy that you checked them out! They've been my favorite band for a while now and the guy singing bass is actually not in the band anymore, he has a solo career too. His name is Avi Kaplan and I think you would love to react to his music, it is full of soul and blues and rock and it's some of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard! And check the rest of PTX as well, they're awesome 🤟🤟🤟
OMG PLEASE DO MORE PENTATONIX THEY ARE BEYOND AMAZING
Pentatonix - Sound of Silence next please!
Just shows how talented freddie was being able to hit those notes.
Their Daft Punk mash up won them a Grammy. AND you get to hear more of Avi (the bass). He left the group but has a solo album now that is amazing.
Fantastic reaction video, thanks! Would love to see you do a reaction to both Daft Punk by Pentatonix, as well as La La Latch!
Pentatonix Mary Did You Know
This comment
I kept welling at the screen : "HOW???"
They do amazing covers of "Sound of Silence" and "Hallelujah." (I like the live version of "Hallelujah")
For great beat boxing, checkout their medly of Daft Punk...it won them a Grammy.
Ooh, ooh, ooh... and don't forget "Imagine" and "Mad World!" Amazing!
I have been finding myself watching a lot of REACTION videos and by far, you are my favorite! You are so animated and legitimately, into the music! Consider me a devout fan of Alex Hefner!
You should check out one of Avi Kaplan ( the deeeep bass. ) solo song, he can also sing. He left Pentatonix a while ago so you might want to also check out one of their more recent song to hear the "new" member.
React to Radioactive! You. Will. LOVE. It!
I was in choir to when i was at primary school. You rock dude! Pentatonix Rule! I love them. Fave song of theirs has to be One more time mix up or the wizard of AAaaahhhs with Toddy.
great reaction. Difficult to choose a favorite but I'd have to go with Can't Hold Us for something fun and different
Pentatonix - Mary did you know
Such an amazing cover of the most popular rock ballad ever made
Oh, that wasn't simple. It was sheer expertise that made it look simple. That set had moving elements and lighting, etc. It reminds me of a swan ... serene and perfect, with feet out of sight paddling like heck. :D
“Love Again” is seriously underrated. Go to the bathroom, first.
Yooo I agree with this comment wholeheartedly.
Fr. It really is.
Love Again is awesome... Avi is amazing in this song!
that was the most insightful reaction ever!! exactly, exactly right... totally get what you were saying! YES they are insanely talented group!
I know Christmas is over but they do a Great Little Drummer Boy too!
React to Pentatonix- Sound of Silence or Pentatonix- Amazing Grace
They have three Grammys. One for "Daft Punk", another for Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" and another for Jolene ft Dolly Pardon". Hallelujah has the most views however. Awesome group. Loved your reaction.
If you like A Cappella, you should check out *Van Canto* an _A Cappella metal band_
Oh hell a thousand time yes, the only actual instrument they use is a drum set, everything else is human voice. They've done some amazing covers too (Fear of the Dark, The Final Countdown and Master of Puppets to name my favourite three lol)
Van Canto is fun
I've seen Pentatonix perform live and if it's possible, they're even more impressive!
"Hallelujah" and "Sound of silence" are definitely must sees. Also "Mary did you know" is phenomenal.
gotta do “Daft Punk” & “Havana” next
Radioactive, Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, & Mary Did You Know is my personal favorite! So much talent! Thank you for checking them out!
Check out there cover of sound of silence
Radioactive with Lindsey Sterling was awesome. As was the Daft Punk Medley. They also did Ghostbusters and TMNT covers
You should check out their draft punk medley and the wizard of ahhhhs videos. I love your reaction videos. Keep up the good work man.
Daft Punk...js
Daft Punk...js
Daft punk, Imagine, Hallelujah
you should check out Where are you now cover by Pentatonix and the Jolene cover with Dolly Parton those songs are my obsession songs right now!
**THERE ARE LITERALLY NO WORDS IN MY ENGLISH VOCABULARY, THAT CAN DESCRIBE THIS GROUP!!!** ❣ I have also come to the conclusion, that Mitch is an Alien, from the planet of WTF 🙃 😊🙃 I truly love how Pentatonix will put their own spin on a song, yet still manage to keep the integrity & respect the original artist!!!
I saw these guys live 3 times, and everytime they blew me away. Fucking incredible talent! You definitely have to check there Daft Punk song!
First time hearing One Ok Rock - The Beginning. 168M views. You have reacted to Babymetal before. It's time for another asian band! Your mind is going to be blown away. 😉 l,,l 80% english, 20% japanese. Taka and his group are incredible good live.
The look when Avi hits the first really low note! Classic!
I didn’t know the letter P came before H 😂
Honestly I love their Christmas covers.
Yep. This my first time hearing them do other music. Loved this cover. This song takes me back to my Queen discovery at about 5 years old. The song was already a classic (early 1980's) . Watching Freddy sing it on television was amazing. Unfortunately, he died before I could see him live.
Bro You have to check "home free" and "voice play"
Love it when someone is impressed with the first minute. “Buckle up. You’re in for a wild ride.”
Amazing Grace is my favorite along with Hallelujah. All great things 👍
If you wanna see more Pentatonix, they’ve done a lot of covers, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy was pretty good, they also did a Daft Punk mashup which I highly recommended checking out along with Radioactive and a heap of others.
Do you mean Daft Punk?
@@MrsBungle78 Whoops, yes, sorry. Good catch.
Love again is great as well
Pentatonix
-Daft Punk Medley
-Radioactive
“Mary did you know” by pentatonix is a must my man!
In my opinion the Sound of Silence is their most stunning performance. Hallelujah is my 2nd favorite. Hopefully you try them out.
My favorite song by them is their original song Love Again. It’s wild
Have you never reacted to Pentatonix before? Please do more bro. Serious. There's A LOT there to check out. Like hundreds of songs. If you haven't heard it, I'd recommend reacting to their Can't Hold Us cover. Also, a side note, the couch is a reference to the videos they made before they got popular. For their fans back in the day before they won any grammy's or anything like that. They typically all got together on a couch in one of their livingrooms and belted away. It's a throwback for long time fans.
Thank you for reacting to this awesome Pentatonix cover. I hope that you react to more from them. They have hundreds of songs/videos so anything that you choose next will be great.
4:40: The Mitch Face is strong with this one. I LOVE it :D
Welcome and congrats for finding PTX. Subs and views will explode with this group. I know I’ll watch any PTX reaction. Any suggestions are good. I’ll add Gold cover ,Rhianna evolution, Dancing on my own,Imagine, and on and on. I’ll be lookin for more. Thanx!
so what do i gotta do to get you to hit Home Free - A man of constant sorrow? - another acapella group that will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND!
also, get ready for the a capella fans to start subbing like crazy if you go down this road...
Absolutely! The Pentaholics and Home Fries (most of us are both) are hella loyal and passionate fans - we *LOVE* watching reactors discover them.
you're gonna be going down an amazing rabbit hole of music if you start listening to these amazing singers
PTX is magnificent ! Brian May, Queen's guitarist saw this and liked it ! Thanks. ❤
I: Imminence-Infectious!!!!
Please mooooooore PTX!! Doesn’t matter what order. Side note: Avi (bass dude) left in 2017 and replaced with Matt (black bass dude) so don’t be alarmed with different people. It’s only one person changing. Mitch & Kitstie are chameleons 🤣. .
Give some another Queen song, they have so many hits and great songs 💕
I watched them perform this live and he did the "electric guitar" without a megaphone, lol.
Daft Punk, Sound of Silence, Making Christmas
what if pentatonix learn how to scream and start doing metal covers?
Saw them in concert a few years ago. At the end of the concert, they turned the lights down, turned off all the sound equipment and sang with one spot light on them. No mics, not speakers, just their voices. Amazing.
Check out their version of “somebody that I used to know”
H: Him - Wicked Game
Finally!!! Pentatonix is heckin crazy. My recommendation from them is "Aha!" It's a whole ghost story in a song and *mwah* *chefs kiss* Other than that Avi has his own music where his bass notes make your buttcheeks rumble 😂
It would have to be the live version at Singapore
I chucked their Christmas CDs into my car last month and discovered, when I turned up a favorite, that Avi's voice shook my car like any other bass line. lmao
i think you should do boat versions of AHA, first the Official Video and then the Star Vista Live in Singapore. That way, ,you know the base of the song, because Singapore just gets INSANE!
what a very powerful and stunning tribute to the greatest rock /pop song ever written. Freddie has to be looking down a bit teary eyed and so proud .
They are amazing...but who could go wrong with Bohemian Rhapsody. The guy doing the percussion is also outstanding. Rock on!
Every time I hear this song I like the Muppets version!!!
Have you listened to Kevin's (beatboxer) cover of Marian Hill "Down" because if you think he's impressive in ptx thennn.. whoo buddy
Kevin is just your average everyday overachiever🤣. Pre-med at Yale, saxophone at Carnegie Hall, plays piano, beat boxes and plays cello (sometimes at the same time - cello boxing), speaks multiple languages (I forget if it's 5 or 7) including Mandarin🤪🤯
His talent in that video is just mind blowing
@@reneeg9406 Celloboxing is good, but my favorite video to use to introduce Kevin to reactors is his version of Sign of the Times along with the video of him at Carnegie Hall at age 17 in 2005. [which I'm posting separately]
I absolutely LOVE Pentatonix! Yes, Ari's bass is phenomenal. Glad this was your first choice. It takes me back to my teen years when Bohemian Rhapsody first came out. Yeah... I'm THAT old!
I love pentatonix they’re amazing
"Change On The Rise" by Avi Kaplan. Or...actually, everything by Avi.
You need to react to Not Falling by Mudvayne and Remedy by Seether
And here’s the crazy thang-they sound as marvelous LIVE.
Their Daft Punk medley is unbelievable! They won a Grammy for it and it is by far my favorite cover they did!
While she sleeps have a new song called ‘Sleeps Society’ and it’s a really good, you should react to it
Bro you gotta react to Critical Acclaim by Avenged Sevenfold live at lbc! It really shows the vocal power of both their singer M. Shadows and their old drummer The Rev.
I’m your newest subscriber!
You absolutely cannot go wrong with ANYTHING by Pentatonix! They are, [in my humble opinion] 1 of the current Top 4 Acapella Groups in the world.
I’m a 69-year-old, now inactive 54-year Life Member, and 1987 International Chorus Champion [with the West Towns Chorus, as a Tenor] of the Barbershop Harmony Society. I also sang in quartets for over 20 years, finishing as high as 3rd Place in Illinois District competitions.
So, I’m a huge fan of most forms of Acapella - from; Barbershop Quartets & Choruses (of course), to what I consider to be 3 of the current Top 4 Acapella Groups in the world; Pentatonix, Home Free, and VoicePlay. To college groups like BYU’s Vocal Point, and Noteworthy. To Multi-trackers like Sam Robson and Danny Fong. Plus, groups like; Take 6, The Real Group, Singers Unlimited, and so many others - including what in my humble opinion is - THE Greatest Acapella Group of All-Time on the Planet - VOCTAVE!
That said, you can expect a lot of suggestions for reactions to many of these groups from me. And I look forward to introducing you to a lot more Acapella Music in the future.
But first, allow me to highlight more of the talents of the Pentatonix Beatboxer/occasional Cellist - Kevin Olusola with the following 2 CZcams videos.
#1 - Here he is [as Renee G mentioned in reply to Jay C] in 2005 at age 17 on the TV show, “From the Top: Live from Carnegie Hall” playing the Saxophone:
czcams.com/video/cg-WQl3YCVY/video.html
#2 - I also used to introduce Kevin with his video of “Down.” But, how about reacting to Kevin’s video of “Sign of the Times?” It too will blow you away with his talents:
czcams.com/video/hBFlhLEU7uU/video.html
Welcome from one of the many Pentaholics! We love watching new people witness how awesome this group is and sharing our passion.
You touched on so many great points. Pentatonix's approach to music is so refreshing, combining intelligence and simplicity to make really impressive, expansive music with five voices (and occasionally some accompanying voices or instruments).
Their videos are also super on point! They are always big, either visually or emotionally or both. And over time they have continued to excel in making sure to highlight each artist's contribution to the songs, showing them singing the little flourishes they add individually while they sing as a group.
If you REALLY want a trip, check out one of their Evolution videos. This was back in the beginning, when it was just them and the couch they used to record videos on. Its recorded live in one take, just to highlight this is five voices! I recommend watching them in order of release to appreciate how much they grow as musicians.
