    O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL BY PENTATONOX.

  • @goldfishwatching1619
    @goldfishwatching1619 Před 2 lety +175

    I am on a mission to get everyone to listen to their official video of O Come All Ye Faithful (which in choir we referred to Coma ye faithful!). They really 'woke' that one without making it unrecognizable. Dont miss their cover of Imagine. Not Christmas, but the message sure is in the spirit.

    Pentatonix (five people) is named for the pentatonic (five note) scale that is commonly used in a lot of popular music. They've been together ten years but the core three singers have been together since high school and two have been singing together since children's musical theater at age 10. They are literally the world's best acapella group whose arrangements, videos, and performances have transformed people's idea of acapella. They added the beatboxer and the bass to the group two days before they auditioned for The Sing Off Season 3 (NBC) in 2011 and won the contest that year. And part of the magic is how much they just love each other!

      There has only been one change in the group. Avi , bass singer quit on good terms because there was sickness in the family and wanted to be home. In 2017 Matt Salle replaced Avi. Kirstin and Mitch change hair color and style, but it is always them. They have no replacements.

  • @robin8773
    @robin8773 Před 2 lety +86

    they sing all genres of music. they can rap; they can be soulful; they can rock. they do covers and they have original music. for christmas try mary did you know, dance of the sugar plum fairy, little drummer boy. otherwise try imagine, mad world, la la latch, cheerleader.

      Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy won a Grammy for Pentatonix (PTX for short). It is a song written by a famous composer, Tchaikovsky in the 1800's. It was a hit as the famous 'Nutcracker Ballet' It has no lyrics, and PTX has no instruments This is raw talent! A must see!

  • @aggilos9650
    @aggilos9650 Před 2 lety +50

    Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Daft Punk, Mad World, Radioactive soany more! They do every style of music. There's also Naked and Break a little solo by the girl Kirstin, Beat boxer K.O. (Kevin Olusola) solo called Down and Renegade, Bass guy Avi has solo Change on the Rise...Although he left the group and replaced by Matt.

  • @elizabethtucker6026

    Pentatonix has a new Christmas cover, the Prayer, which is fantastic. But you cant go wrong with any Pentatonix.

      That one broke my brain all over again when Mitch hits the descant on the bridge. 🤯

  • @tundiel
    @tundiel Před 2 lety +55

    They're touring right now! You'll find a live version of this one from their Christmas under the Stars special.
    They've been together 10 years so there is a ton of stuff you could react to. They had a member change in 2017 when their bass left the group (Avi) and Matt joined to replace him. The lady is Kirsten, beatboxer is Kevin, tall blond guy is Scott, and shorter dark haired guy is Mitch. Mitch and Kirsty are chameleons so look different in almost every video, but it's always them.
    Christmas stuff: O Come all ye Faithful, Silent Night (the live version), Mary, Did you Know?, 12 Days of Christmas, You're a mean one, Mr Grinch, and my personal favourite, God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen.
    Song covers: Mad World, Imagine, Sound of Silence, Say Something, Can't Hold Us.
    Original songs: Coffee in Bed, Love Again, Sing.
    But honestly, all their stuff is crazy good. Just go to their playlist and pick one at random! 😁

  • @chrispavlich9656

    Try Pentatonix cover of The Prayer, Little Drummer Boy, and many others. Thanks

  • @katherineeasteal662
    @katherineeasteal662 Před 2 lety +34

    For Christmas try Pentatonix's Hallelujah or Mary Did You Know. They have an extensive range of Christmas songs.
    Hallelujah is brilliant and there is both an official video with over 600 million views and a live one in concert which might be even better than the official video.
    Pentatonix is based on Penta which means "five" and the Pentatonic music scale which is a Jazz scale of five notes.
    They literally have hundreds of tracks and have won 3 Grammies. They sing in most genres which their Grammies show 1) Daft Punk, 2) Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairy and 3) Joelene with Dolly Parton. I heard that was the only Grammy she won, but I have trouble believing that even though I am not into Country music.
    Finally, Pentatonix has been going for 10 years and in 2017 their bass Avi (guy with beard and deep voice) left. Later he was replaced with Matt who has a different style but is also excellent.

  • @G-grandma_Army
    @G-grandma_Army Před 2 lety +11

    You HAVE to go down the Pentatonix (PTX) rabbit hole. “Mary Did You Know”, “The Prayer”, “Daft Punk”, “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Hallelujah (over 600m views), “Sound of Silence”, “Sing”, “That’s Christmas to Me”and on and on. Also Home Free is another great acapella group.
    I get to see them (PTX) live on Dec 21st in Sugarland, TX.

  • @boborambles
    @boborambles Před 2 lety +12

    Kirstin is a mezzo-soprano, Mitch (first guy) is a high tenor, Scott (blond) is a baritone, but he can cover for the bass when the bass is singing. Scott can also cover the beatboxing when Kevin is singing. Kevin (beatboxer) his job is to keep the rhythm of the group, but there are songs where he sings in them (like Amazing Grace), Avi (guy with the hat) he is the bass, he is mostly the metronome of the group with the low notes.

  • @TerryYelmene
    @TerryYelmene Před 2 lety

    Pentatonix who came on the scene after winning a singing competition show 10 years ago, have gone on to record many albums, win Grammys, do their own Christmas TV shows (they do lots of Xmas music), and collaborate with top musicians, do world tours, etc. are very special and most of their songs are all priceless (many have 100s/10s of millions of views)
    - For this season, I'd like to suggest reacting to - "Mary Did You Know" - "Hallelujah" - and - "Imagine."
    - Thank you for a great first reaction to Pentatonix!

  • @philipem1000
    @philipem1000 Před 2 lety +6

    For Christmas O Come All Ye Faithful is amazing; for overall impact The Prayer; when you want something really different do "Daft Punk" a medley that PTX put together in their kitchen for $400 and won a Grammy.

  • @janetlawson4482
    @janetlawson4482 Před 2 lety

    No instruments, it’s Kevin! Yes a cappella, Grammy winning! No Christmas is complete without Pentatonix, once you have heard them, you’re hooked! Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, originally just instrumental , won them a Grammy! They are currently in concert. Hallelujah music video has over 600 million views, how Hallelujah live is beautiful!

    Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Amazing Grace, and Daft Punk are a few good choices to begin with. They have plenty to choose from. 10 years worth. Look forward to you both reacting to more Pentatonix 😊🤗

  • @lonniekramlich6241
    @lonniekramlich6241 Před 2 lety +20

      You have opened a very deep rabbit hole with Pentatonix of over 200 songs or videos both covers and originals to choose from. They have won 3 Grammy's, 19.4 subscribers and over 5 billion views on CZcams.
      Pentatonix name comes from the 5 note pentatonic music scale.
      Check out there Live Christmas Special of Hallelujah.

  • @vidsorama2
    @vidsorama2 Před 2 lety +12

    Thank you for reacting to Pentatonix. Glad that you liked the video.They are amazing. They have around 13 Albums and EPs. 7 of which are Christmas. They have 2 original albums and also have original songs sprinkled among their other albums. In their 10-year history, there has only been 1 member change. The bass in this video, Avi, left in 2017. Matt became their bass late 2017. Mitch and Kirstie look different in most videos but it's always them. More Pentatonix please.

  • @dipsydoodle7988
    @dipsydoodle7988 Před 2 lety +17

    I remember singing this song in choir in high school. It is NOT an easy song to sing, I don't care what part you sing. This particular arrangement is complex beyond words. These guys are the real deal. You want to see them live, there are tons of live performances in YT by these guys. Check out their live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas special.

  • @amandaw6872
    @amandaw6872 Před 2 lety +15

    If you want variety, you should try PTXs 12 Days of Christmas! Seriously - they turn one of the most repetitive boring holiday songs into a whole new thing! 😉. And just to head off the question if you do - they did change one member in 2017 - the bass singer. Everyone else is from the original group of 5!

  • @lindaosmon5224
    @lindaosmon5224 Před 2 lety +6

    I saw them live in 2018 they are amazing. They have been together for 10 years. The only change has been Avi the bass he left in 2017 and Matt their new bass now. And the main singer here is Mitch Grassi.

    I'm SOOOO glad you guys are getting to PTX!! I had several of their songs lined up for suggestions on your last live stream, but I was unable to attend because I had to work early. They are amazeballs!!! I'm not particularly religious any more, but their versions of "Mary Did You Know" and Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" are incredibly moving. Welcome to the Pentaholics!! (that's what their fans are called. Lol) I have been following them since 2011 when they were on a contest show called The Sing Off. It is an amazing ride. Buckle up. 💞💕💖 Others to watch are their Daft Punk medley, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine (the John Lennon song), and Sound of Silence. If you want the full experience, check out their Sing Off performances too.

    You need to listen to this song Live. They did a Christmas concert on TV called Christmas Under the Stars in 2021. Mitch is crazy good. I have seen them 2 times in concert. Yes, to answer the question "Do they make the sounds themselves"? The beatboxer will play the cello sometime. Also, beatbox at the same time. Scott (the blonde) will also play the piano on some songs. OMG... So many songs to choose from. They have many Christmas albums. They do covers and originals. Royals, No, Can You Fee the Love Tonight, Bohemian Rhapsody. Only 1 member change. Avi (bass) left in 2017 and Matt took his place as the new bass singer. Please start listening and reacting to them. You will not be disappointed... I have subscribed to your channel. I hope to see more PTX reactions. I promise, you will love them!!!!

  • @maryyoung2549

    This group is indeed "magical". They've won 3 Grammy awards. Please react to Hallelujah (the video has over 647 million views) or the live version which will provide you the proof in the pudding. czcams.com/video/haFHrfmfHbc/video.html Also, their second Grammy win is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (no words in this performance, it's from the Nutcracker and follows the Christmas theme) Each member is crazy talented and as you stated, very different. There is no "official" lead singer. They try to give each member a moment to shine in their performances. They do covers and originals. Stellar reaction. Love the expressions on new reactors faces when they first experience this group. Everything they do is elevated and made their own. They are super creative. I hope you will continue to take the journey down the PTX rabbit hole.

    Their version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" won them a Grammy, but they have a TON of Christmas songs. They have a very deep catalog of phenomenal covers like Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" that even got praise from Brian May, some rap and some medleys like their Grammy winning "Daft Punk" medley.
    Now that you're going down the a cappella rabbit hole, you should check out Home Free and Voiceplay. You won't have as many copyright issues with those groups.

    Grammy Award Winners, Pentatonix is named fot the 5 notes Pentatonic Scales. About 300 Million fans Worldwide. Named Pentaholics.
    Mitch, Scott & Kirstin have been singing together since Jr.High School Choir. They wanted to try out for "The Sing Off" together A Capella but they needed 5 people to compete. So they found the Beat Boxer Matt & the Bass Avi. The Won the competition & a recording contract. Since they have become the #1 A Capella Group in the World. You are about to journey into a "Magical Rabbit Hole.". They have covered everyone from Micheal Jackson to Lady GaGa & Rhianna etc.. But their Christmas Albums are Solid Gold. Evergreen is the latest & it's Beautiful. "The Prayer" Celine Dion & Andrea Botchelli is a must! "Bohemian Rhapsody" Queen. Anyway. I could go on & on because they really are fantastic! So welcome to the Pentatonix Family. 💖

  • @larrygranbois4164

    I am giving you my sub with hopes that you do more Pentatonix! Christmas music? Try one of their newest covers The Prayer, it's Epic. They have so many different genre covers and they also have 2 albums of original music. Older but still being raved about is their cover of Can't Hold Us. ANY Pentatonix you pick will be super great. A note: The bass with the dark beard is no longer with them, he left back in 2017 and was replaced with another super great bass. Enjoy guys!! PS..also you might check out their Daf Punk Medley.

  • @kenkahuna
    @kenkahuna Před 2 lety +1

    I can't choose the Good shit - it is ALL good shit! I don't think they have ever done a bad song. I can only suggest that you get started by listening to a few of their all-time favourites and then just pick any one you like. Hallelujah (647 million views), Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Daft Punk, Amazing Grace. They bring out amazing Christmas albums nearly every year and some of their incredible Christmas songs are.... The Prayer, Frosty The Snowman, O Come all Ye Faithful, Mary Did You Know, The First Noel, Away in a Manger, etc.

  • @suzannehorne4115
    @suzannehorne4115 Před 2 lety +7

    You may want to check out their versions of Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Silent Night. Pentatonix has a way of upgrading covers! In all the years that they have been together, there has only been one member change. The Bass, Avi, had to leave for personal reasons, and Matt, joined the group.

  • @FunRide

    @PMJonte Před 2 lety +8

    Nope...100% a capella all day long...even a beat boxer.
    You guys have only just scratched the surface. The Pentatonix rabbit hole is long and deep. They are prolific Christmas music arrangers. They have SEVEN Christmas albums, which also include some originals. Additionally, they don't do anything in the studio that they can't duplicate live.
    The name Pentatonix is based on the pentatonic scale...the most recognizable five-minute scale. There are five members. Pente means five in Greek.
    Fellow Pentaholics...I think we have new members of the club.

  • @callieluna2459
    @callieluna2459 Před 2 lety

    You can watch Pentatonix do a live version of Carol of the Bells in "Christmas Under the Stars" which was released in December 2021. The original version which was released in November 2012 featured Avi Kaplan, the group’s original bass, who left the group amicably in 2017 and was replaced by Matt Sallee. Please pay attention to the fact that during his solos in both versions Mitch Grassi (high tenor) apparently does not need to breath!

    @trunkmonk2521 Před 2 lety

    They are an awesome group. Their name, Pentatonix, is based on the word Pentatonic, which refers to a musical scale of 5 notes in order. If you find that you like Pentatonix, or PTX for short, there's another group like them called Home Free. They are mostly country, but they also do pop, ballads, oldies, and original music. They also have a deep bass, Tim Foust.

    @loriculver7282 Před 2 lety

    There are soon many incredible songs done by Pentatonix. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairys won them a grammy (one of three Grammys They have one). They literally changed the Grammy category because the Grammy was for best instrumental and PTX did it with all vocals. So the Grammy category was changed to instrumental/a Capella. Daft Punk (their first Grammy) Bohemian Rhaspody, Imagine, Gold, Havanna, Sound of Silence, Hallelujah, Can't Hold Us, Come Along. And on and on. These are just some of their deep body of work. They cross all genres.
    Right now for Christmas I am in love with their version of Grinch, The Prayer, Little Drummer Boy and Oh Come All Ye Faithful. And then there is Mad World, Someone That I Use To Know, Cheerleader, Thrift shop, Say Something, Shallow . . . ok I'll stop, just so much goodnrss! Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole 😊

If you are staying in the holiday spirt, you should do "Mary Did You Know" and "The Little Drummer Boy" - and of course their grammy award winning "Hallelujah"

    You should also check out the solo projects that the beatboxer, Kevin Ollusola, and the bass, Avi Kaplan have out. Kevin's plays Cello and beatboxes at the same time (called Cello boxing lol) and does an amazing cover of Down by Marion Hill, and Avi had an incredible video for his song Change on the Rise (an original). Very tribal song with kind of a "call to battle" sort of feeling.

    Great reactions, and welcome to the wondrous rabbit hole which is Pentatonix (PTX for short)! Always fun to see new folks discover this amazing group.
    You are going to have quite an awesome journey ahead. You will be flooded by avid PTX fans (who call themselves Pentaholics) who love watching reactions. You will get many suggestions from their incredibly extensive 10 yearlong catalog of both covers and originals. Frankly, pick ANYTHING they do and you won’t be disappointed.
    A little background on PTX, of the five of them, three of them, the tall blonde guy, Scott Hoying (baritone), the young lady, Kirstin (or Kirstie) Maldonado (mezzo-soprano), and the guy with the dark hair and high voice, Mitch Grassi (counter-tenor), are originally from Arlington Texas and have known each other since childhood and sang together in high school.
    In 2011, NBC had a singing competition called “The Sing Off” where a-cappella groups competed against each other and one was eliminated each week. Scott wanted to compete, but they needed 5 people, so they met a fourth member, Avi Kaplan, a classically trained basso profondo singer, through a friend and he joined the group. Sadly, personal reasons caused him to amicably leave the group in 2017. There is a common misconception that Avi helped find his replacement, however that didn’t happen. A talent search was done and all the auditions were narrowed down to one, a talented lyric base singer, Matt Sallee, who is in the current group. That has been the only change in the lineup. You have begun by watching their earlier videos, as you get later into their career, you will barely recognize Mitch, he lost a lot of weight, and changes his look often, as does Kirstie.
    They discovered their fifth member, beatboxer/cellist/vocalist (tenor, yes, he does sing, and phenomenally) Kevin Olusola, on CZcams where he was “celloboxing” or beat boxing while playing the cello. Because of schedules, they didn’t meet until just a few days before the competition began, yet they went on to win the show.
    They won a recording contract as part of the show prize, but 2 weeks into it, the label dropped them feeling like an a-cappella group was not marketable. Refusing to be discouraged, PTX began a CZcams channel and from that channel garnered millions of world-wide fans, went on to world tours, put out multiple albums, including wildly successful Christmas albums, hit the #1 spot on the Billboard chart, almost always in the top ten, and have to date won 3 Grammy Awards.
    They do all their own beats. No instruments are used with the exception of several videos where Kevin plays the cello, Scott will play piano and some collaborations with violinist Lindsey Sterling. If an instrument is used, you will see it. They do not use multi-tracking for the most part, though their cover of “The Prayer” does, no auto-tune (except as a tribute to Cher in their 90’s Dance Medley) or any studio tricks. Everything they have on video, they perform exactly the same live.
    There is a sixth member who has been with the group behind the scenes from the beginning, he is Ben Bram, who works with them as a director, arranger and producer.
    All their Sing Off performances are on CZcams, watching them will give you their story, and show you how they have evolved into, IMO, the best a-cappella group in the world right now. Welcome to the PTX experience.
    Just FYI, SME is notorious for copyright strikes as they apparently don’t care about fair use. A good way to avoid this is to alter the video by use of a blur, or overlay or some type of opacity.

    This is a cappella. No instruments. Kevin is the beatboxer. That's the beat.

  • @diannecardenas9866
    @diannecardenas9866 Před 2 lety

    They only do covers of songs that they can sing in concert. If they use an instrument they bring it out front and center, never hide it. The beat boxer is Kevin, he also plays the cello and beat boxes at the same time, it's amazing. They're the only members up to 2017 when Avi , the bass the guy with the beanie left because of family and health issues. Matt came in and is the new bass. If you continue on this journey Welcome to the Rabbit hole you're in for an amazing journey. They have almost 11 yrs of albums to go through, covers, original songs and their Christmas Albums. By the way they have 3 Grammys already crossing my fingers for the 4th Grammy for The Prayer it's an Amazing song.

    If you want a live performance I’d suggest “pentatonix daft punk mix private performance” they’re in a room with no microphones so you can hear they’re the real deal!

    Also, after the Christmas stuff I always tell newbies to go back and review their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. It gives you the whole origin story and really introduces the members. Much love J.

  • @mamajenkins1981
    @mamajenkins1981 Před 2 lety +4

    There is actually a recent (like from Dec 5 this year) of them performing this at BYU and it’s amazing. You should really watch their whole BYU Christmas special, it’s available for free on BYU TV.

  • @Jskew
    @Jskew Před 2 lety

    mwahhhhahahah. Welcome to the Pentaholic rabbit hole friends. Just a quick intro, combined they have over 5 BILLION views on You Tube. Live is the same magic and they have won 3 Grammys. I would highly recommend any of their Christmas songs as they own Christmas in my house. However, some highlights are Silent Night (live performance), O come all ye faithful, and That's Christmas to me ( original ). KO the beatboxer is an alien and his beatboxing is not only just like real drums but it is always musical and not just sounds. Much love and keep on keepin on. J.

    @bill.godwin-austen Před 2 lety +1

    If you want to hear a couple of their songs that are "a bit out of the mainstream", definitely check out "Come Along" by Cosmo Sheldrake. It's a really fun jam that can't help but put a smile on your face. And "Aha" by Imogen Heap... there's the "Official Video" version where they tell sort of a horror/zombie storyline to go along with the music. There is also a live concert performance of it (look up "Aha - at the Singapore Star Vista") Mitch (the high tenor in this one) is just on fire that night. They also have quite a few original songs. They recently released an all-originals album "The Lucky Ones" with a lot of good songs on it(some of my favorites are "Coffee in Bed", "Be my eyes", "Happy Now"). they released a mostly-originals album ("Pentatonix") back around 2015-16 with some really good ones ("Cracked", "Can't Sleep Love", "Water" are some of my favorites off that one). They also have a massive catalog of Christmas music (I think they've released 6 or 7 Christmas albums over the years). You can't miss with pretty much anything they do.

    Watch their live performance of Hallelujah. There is a video on CZcams. Welcome to the PTX universe! (You can check it out any time you like, but you can never leave…) Penta is ancient Greek for „Five“ (they are five) (like in Pentagon, which literally means „five angles“ - the shape of the building.). „Pentatonic“ is also a type of musical scale using only 5 notes. But their name is actually more resembling that they are 5 people making music (all on their own).

  • @boballen818
    @boballen818 Před 2 lety +1

    There is an amazing live version of Hallelujah. Plus, a late night TV performances of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. All their videos are amazing. You will enjoy Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy the most.

  • @xymonau2468
    @xymonau2468 Před 2 lety

    Watch Pentatonix "Somebody that I used to know". They are an acapella group. And the beat is beatboxer.

    @davidbangtson3109 Před 2 lety

    Absolutely do O Come All Ye Faithful. Also, White Winter Hymnal, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (for which they won their 2nd Grammy). Agree with Imagine as well, plus "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and two originals of theirs "Sing" and "Coffee in Bed".

  • @golfr-kg9ss

    The prayer

    If you want to see a live version of Carol of the Bells, they just came out with one for this Christmas for the BYUtv Special "Christmas Under The Stars" (czcams.com/video/vmTvoMhXizQ/video.html). All of the members are the same except for the bass singer. Avi Kaplan (original member) was replaced by Matt Sallee after Avi left the group on good terms so he could spend more time with his family. Enjoy!
