- THIS IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE? PENTATONIX ARE UNREAL!!
My First Time Reaction to Pentatonix Daft Punk and I thought Hallelujah was good! A week ago I had never heard of Pentatonix and now here we are! They were one of my most requested reaction recommendations from all of you and I finally reacted to them for the first time with their song Hallelujah having no idea what I was in for and it is safe to say I AM HOOKED! So here is my first time reaction to Pentatonix Daft Punk

Your joy in discovering Pentatonix is infectious and so wonderful to watch as a long time Pentaholic.
I can't wait to see his first reaction to an Avi or Matt bass drop
Definitely! 💯💕
Thank you!
I still can't believe what I'm hearing when I listen to them! Doesn't seem real ❤️
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pentatonix!
Sound of Silence (with new bass member)…PREPARE TO BE BLOWN-AWAY….AGAIN.
They won their first Grammy with this song. The Grammys had to create a category so they could be nominated. They then included an acapella category.
It cost $400 to do the video in Avi’s (bass) kitchen.
it cost more than that in total (the mixing and video editing was alot more), but in terms of contacts, makeup, wigs, outfits, lights, smoke, etc..yeah that was 400. Still hugely impressive
I am quoting what Scott said when the group accepted the Grammy for this song.
I know, they talk about it in another interview, that's what the $400 was for. It's not the whole cost of making the video is what I was clarifying
@@N_F414 No matter how much it turned out to be in total, GREATEST investment in music ever! Accounting for inflation, it is still likely one of the greatest returns ever for money spent in the history of the Grammy Awards.
It's not the editing, they actually sing it like that live, with all the the cuts and "scratches" in the audio, it's absolutely amazing!!!
Impossible not to fall in love with Kirsty's "half smile," "side smile." Bohemian Rhapsody is their next big blockbuster.
I've been low key in love with her since my first viewing
I adore her asymmetric smile. Reminds me a bit of Natalie Dormer in that regard. It's very attractive.
It's been reported that she hated what she considered a "deformity"
I agree with with you, it's adorable and soo beautiful.
@@ChuckFickens1972 From what I’ve heard, her side smirk is mostly involuntary and can possibly mess up your singing technique by moving her mouth into an unnatural position for singing. That may be partially why she wants it removed, even though I also think it’s super cute
she's a dime
If you really want your mind blown, check out their version of "Bohemian Rhapsody"!
I totally agree!
Me too
Yup!
Agree!!!!!
I love that it is Brian May "approved"😁🤩
They did a cover of Imagine Dragons' Radioactive with Linsey Stirling playing violin and Kevin playing cello while beatboxing. He calls it cello-boxing.
Cello-boxing yeeesss!
I just saw this reaction and heard him talking about Imagine Dragons, so I was going to suggest "Radioactive." Love their version of that with Linsey Stirling.
Also check out another one with Lindsay Stirling with their version of "Over the River". She plays her violin and Kevin does his cello boxing. It's great.
Ah I love Linsey Sterling!!! Definitely checking that out! ❤️
That one is SO good.
this one won them their first of multiple grammy awards..well deserved!!! Filmed this in their little apartment in like the closet and their phones i think..This group's talent is just beyond all... incredibly gifted both individually and together. their musical masterpieces are just heaven!
On an iPad, actually.
this arrangement is SO insane, no wonder it won them their first Grammy, they are unmatched in music today
Your giddy-ness is EVERYTHING. I feel like I still get like this when they release new stuff and I’ve been a fan since the beginning. 10 years later they are still finding new ways to leave us with that same feeling. Can’t wait to see more PTX mind melts from you 😂
True story. I've been watching them since episode 1 of The Sing Off season 3. And I knew they were winning by episode 3 or 4 I think.
Yesssssss
I think the best way to sum this up... mind blowing!
check out Kevin Osula (there beat boxer) he does "celloboxing". again...will blow your mind.
Wait until you get to "Imagine "! It is beyond magical.
Yup, $400 and filmed in a closet and kitchen I believe=Pentatonix Daft Punk ❤️
You'll keep discovering little things the more times you watch this. It's so complicated and fun. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole.
Something else mind blowing is The Wizard of Ahhhs, by Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix, if you like the movie, you will love this ❤️
Yes they have some awesome originals as well.. Coffee In Bed, Happy Now, Can’t Sleep Love and Sing are all amazing but you honestly can’t go wrong with them original or cover.. new sub 💖
And "Love again"...
They rearrange the covers (into 3-5 voices) so much that they own them. It's never just PTX trying to sound like the original. How boring :)
Be my eyes is awesome too!!
and "Run to You"
Don't forget "Thank You".
I'm 67 yrs old and still discovering new music. I love the joy you have in music!!
Who is here revisiting old reactions? They NEVER get old!
Bohemian Rhapsody sounds like a good one for you to react to next. It has Mitch in the lead and Its just jaw dropping how they were able to cover the entire song.
Definitely the next one!
Yes that’s a must!
@@GOTGames please do! You won’t be disappointed!
Speaking of 'Imagine Dragons' check out PTX's cover of 'Radioactive'. Features Lindsay Stirling on violin and Kevin Olusola playing cello in addition to beatboxing (WHILE beatboxing)
Oh yeah?? Ah definitely!
@@GOTGames check out some of Kevins solo work as well, beatbox, singing drums and cello while operating a couple of loop machines
@@neil2742 Yes. Absolutely. Kevin is arguably the most musically talented in this group of amazing and talented people. His KOver of 'Down' is a rollercoaster you'll never forget.
Yes, they do have originals. Sing, Love Again, Light in the Hallway, Can't Sleep Love, just to name a few... You should look into where they got their start, on a show called the Sing Off. It was an a capella competition. Nick LeShay was the host. Check out Pentatonix ,Sing Off Season 3.
I love seeing people discover Pentatonix for the first time. You asked about their originals. One of my favorites is "Love Again" They've also got some really cool looks in that video. Someone else mentioned "Sing." That's excellent too.
And oldie but goodie. They're so good at making those medleys. 🔥🔥🔥
Pentatonix has 10 years of songs for you to explore and I can confidently say that you can pick any song and it'll be great. They're probably best known for their seven Christmas albums, with originals and creative takes on standard holiday songs. They also do covers of pop songs from a variety of decades and styles, from 40's swing to Motown to K-pop, and "Evolutions" and medleys that combine dozens of songs into a 4-minute track. They also have two albums of original songs, with all group members contributing songs in their own style. And most of the group members have side projects and albums.
Sounds like this is going to be a really fun rabbit hole to explore!! ❤️
@@GOTGames You are going to be so, so, so blown away.
"That can not be his voice" 😀 I wanna get one Euro each time a reactor says that sentence, I'd have a lot of money right now! Your enthusiasm is fantastic to watch, I can't wait to go this journey further with you, awesome reaction! 😍
This was their first music video! They recorded the song and the video on Kevin and Avi's apartment. They spent $400 on the video and they won a Grammy!
If you want to see Mitch's range, check out PTX doing A Ha live at the Star Vista in Singapore (Avi blew out the speakers with an "omfg how low is that???" note at the beginning, then Mitch proceeds to go completely off the chain. It's from a fan's phone, and they're an absolute legend for getting this once in a lifetime performance and uploading it!
There's also Superfruit, which is Mitch's and Scott's side project. Their cover of Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked is just crazy (and shows off Scott's higher range too!). And with Superfruit, you always have to watch to the end, because there's bloopers (if you want to see them be complete goofballs, the Yoga Challenge video is just off the charts hilarity and Mitch over sharing a wee bit). They also have original songs, that are so much fun!
There are three top a cappella groups in the reactors' world - Pentatonix is one of them. The others are Home Free and Voiceplay. They all have their own style and are great in different ways. Please add the other two groups to your list (not to rank or compare them, but enjoy all three). Really enjoyed your enthusiasm for the discovery, we'll enjoy following the journey. For a more traditional singing style and larger group, Voctave does excellent work too. They have all been lifelines to many of us through the past couple of years.
Don't forget voctave
Yes to this and all 3. They have indeed been a lifeline haven't they?
Why stop at 3 Say 20. Since the difference between Pentatonix and the second is bigger than the difference between the 2nd and the 20th. Sorry but Pentatonix are in a class of their own. No disrespect. I'm not talking about quality since that's subjective and if you like Homefree and Voiceplay in the same way i totally understand and respect that. But international stars and small bands can't be put in a top 3 as if they somehow rank close to each other.
You don’t have to choose between them. Some try to and it is not fair. They are all in a separate group.
@@patty3188 i haven't heard of them. i have heard of the others
One of the hardest working groups in music, they even managed to put out an album and videos during the pandemic.😊 When on tour they sell out events and people have said they are better live.
Ah so amazing!
My bad - I forgot to highlight that another of the Grammys they won was "Jolene" in which they performed with the legendary Dolly Parton. Needless to say, the Grammy was well deserved!
In the Jolene performance, what you see and hear is a single take without any production trickery applied. Other than rehearsals, it looks like it really was the one and only 'live' take.
They are even more perfect Live in Concert. Best show I've even been to EVER!
I can't wait to see you react to them doing John Lennon's "Imagine", then "Mad World, Sing, Amazing Grace" and Oh so many others. You have only scratched the surface. Enjoy!
Another great reaction as always! Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody is also amazing!
Voice play and home free are both good too!
I highly recommend the Oogie Boogie song for the first voice play reaction. Thank you so much!
They are a family. They are so close it makes their harmony just all that better! Binge all their songs and become a pentaholic like so many of us are! 😊
Kirstin's half-smile could melt steel
Anything they do is amazing. They cover hymns, Christmas music, rap, pop, you name it. Try The Ceiling Can’t Hold Us, Havana, Say Something. Their originals like Coffee In Bed, Run To You, Happy Now are awesome. You can’t miss because they never miss.
Can't wait to explore them all!
Their take on Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing! If you want to have a teardrop of pure joy though, react to their version of "The Prayer". It's SO good!
Agree on this!
I watched and commented on your "Hallelujah" reaction two days ago, about how fun it was to watch your brain melt.....and you took it to another level with this one, and added a large amount of infectious joy! I loved it!! Now to complete the Newbie Trifecta, check out "Bohemian Rhapsody"....and get ready for massive brain melting! 😄
I found this video while missing my little brother. I now feel a bit better because of you. Thanks, man. For real, thank you.
"Pentatonix-Aha!, Singapore, star vista" is one of my favorites. It's fancam but Mitch (and the whole group of course) is incredible there. Also telephone from star vista is amazing!
It's only fair to warn you that this video is often called the "Where's Kevin" video. He is off stage through the intro, but comes in about the time Avi starts the main song, but you never see him... the fan that filmed this video was focused on Mitch and Avi so you never see the other end of the stage.
OMG I CAN’T BELIEVE I STILL REMEMBER THE LYRICS OF THIS MASHUP ITS BEEN A READY 8 YEARS 😭😭 MITCH HAS A REALLY UNIQUE VOICE 💜💜 YOU REALLY NEED TO CHECK THEIR MEDLEYS AND EVOLUTION OF ARTISTS . AS USUAL I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS 💜💜💜
Can't wait to check out more!! Ah excited! ❤️
If you loved that yes they have their own orginal songs they are amazing. My favorite are" Sing " & "Love Again " written by Kevin & Avi
Can't Sleep Love is the best!
For originals, check out "Run to you". It's on my "listen to every week" list.
The music was recorded in Avi's closet (he and Kevin were room-mates at the time) and the video was recorded in their kitchen. Total cost was apparently $400 and won them a Grammy for arrangment
This is what I came here to say! So impressive.
You gotta watch some of the live performaces too. There's a private live performance of this that is amazing.
If you like Mitch, Carol of Bells is known as the song where Mitch doesn't breath. Aha! Live at star vista Singapore is another good of Mitch.
Some other great music videos are Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Mad World, Imagine.
What you should really do is watch all of their Sing Off performances from 10 years ago when they first got together. Every one of them is Live and shows how talented they were in the very beginning.
You acted like a little boy who just opened every Christmas present and got every single thing you asked Santa for and I am LIVING for your reactions 🥰
"I don't know why I'm nervous."
I LOVED his shock 😂😂😂
Their beatboxer. Kevin Olusola, is called "the human 808". He is immensely talented, and smart! He gave up a medical school program at Yale to join PTX. His solo work will drop your jaw. He uses a looper, makes an electric cello sound like a hard rock guitar, plays keyboard, and sings in multiple voices, making a song sound like a full band...all by himself. Check out his cover of "Down", by Marian Hill. Oh, and he speaks 5 languages, including Chinese.
All 5 of them are unique, vastly talented, and genuinely nice people.
This video was filmed in a closet in an apartment, and recorded in the kitchen of the same apartment when the venue they had booked fell through. It cost just over $400 to make.
You can't go wrong with any of their vast catalog.
It was recorded in the closet and filmed in the kitchen, but yeah... what you said.
@@gingerjohnson1095 Whups! Thanks for setting the record straight.
Awwww! Welcome to the wonderful world of Pentaholics. There is no cure nor 12 step program, but that's okay, none of us want a cure. They have an entire DECADE of magic for you to catch up on. This song won them their first Grammy. Filmed in a kitchen and recorded in a closet!!! The amazingness of Queen Mitch can not be overstated. When a person is first introduced to Mitch, it's usually him doign something insane with his voice and the look of shock, eyes bugged out, mouth hanging loose, is colluquially known as being Mitch Slapped. Get used to it, it will happen a LOT. Scott is the tall blonde he's a baritone, Kevin the beatboxer is incredible. He also plays cello, and went to Yale. He also beatboxes and cello at the SAME time! Which is called celloboxing. Avi the bass, he'll blow your eardrums as easily as he does speakers. And Kirstie, our angel. You have earned yourself a new subscriber, and I can't WAIT for your journey down the PTX rabbit hole.
They won 3 Grammy's and is nominated foe the 4th time this years Grammy's....Check out 'The Prayer" and "Amazing Grace" Super good
Watching someone discover Pentatonix for the first time is such a treasure.
To perfect this sound, Mitch and Kirstie admitted in an interview that they have many, many days that are 12+ hours long. That was a huge factor in their choice of a bass to replace Avi. They needed someone who was familiar with acapella, and the amount of work that sound takes. Matt Sallee had just graduated with his degree in vocal performance from the Berkelee College of Music in Boston. He had years experience with acapella. And he’s done great since he joined the group in late 2017. And by the way, they made this video in a kitchen closet for $400!
If you want high energy, try their original "Sing" and their cover of "Can't Hold Us".
To hear more of Kirstin and Mitch, try "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?".
This!! ⬆️
@@heidi_d if you want more high pitch mitch-The Prayer... czcams.com/video/wnvzwAPqniU/video.html
Absolutely! “Sing” is a great PTX tune, and the video is beyond fun! I love that they include so many fan clips in the video, and the ton of fans at the end. Legendary!
I'm sure you've heard this already, but this video won them a Grammy - and yet it was recorded in the apartment shared by beatboxer Kevin and bass guy Avi, and filmed in their closet, on a budget of about $400. THAT'S how good they were even back then - and they've just got better and better since. Of course you HAVE to see their 'Bohemian Rhapsody' cover now - so good, even Brian May of Queen himself tweeted a link to their video with the word "Enjoy." And yes, they do have their own, original songs too. 'Love Again' is a similar dance-tech vibe to this one (and really showcases what Mitch and Avi can do,) and there's also 'Sing,' 'On My Way Home,' 'Natural Disaster' and 'Standing By.' Oh, and some of their best later ones (with Matt replacing Avi as bass) include 'Coffee In Bed,' 'Happy Now,' 'Be My Eyes' and 'Love Me When I Don't.'
You’re my fave reactor in ages lol. They won a Grammy for this & then won 2 more. This rabbit hole is a joy x
I sorta wanna stick up my hand here and say, you gotta watch *Carol of the Bells* which is one of their really old ones but if you love Mitch's voice, you'll be staring the entire time wondering when he breathes :P
Um, they have done imagine dragons. .
Just to let you know, PTX occasionally uses instruments. If they do, it's front and center. They do a lot of different genres. Rap, hip hop, Christmas, country, rock. Originals to blow your mind. If there's a Christmas song that you hate, check to see if PTX has a version. It's not Christmas without PTX and pentaholics listen to PTX Christmas music all year long. Enjoy the eargasms. Considering that you just got hit by the PTX 2x4.
Very well said! I love Christmas music but because I have been in choirs all my life there are certain songs that i struggle to enjoy because of overexposure... yet ptx has made versions that i adore of those songs. I think my fav Christmas song of theirs is their silent night in the church. It is so amazing and moving and i love all versions of silent night but theirs is beyond amazing.
Always hypnotized by the beat-boxer. Like, I sit here and TRY to match the sounds I'm hearing to what his mouth is doing.
Pentaholic here in 2022🙋🏼♀️
Loovvee your genuine reaction! Keep ‘em coming!!
Welcome to the rabbit 🐇 hole ❤️🔥❤️🔥🥳🥳
Your excitement is contagious even though I have heard this song hundred of times! Yes, they have 2 albums of original stuff. Check out: Sing, Love Again, Run to You, Can't Sleep Love, Happy Now, Coffee in Bed and That's Christmas to Me.
1st of 3 Grammys 🥰
Now you might have a small idea why they won three Grammy awards; the first Grammy was for this one, the second was for their cover of "Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy", and their third was for their cover of Jolene with Dolly Parton. Enjoy the rabbit hole 🙂🍀
One of their best songs is an original: "Can't Sleep Love". "Sing" is another really good original. I also HIGHLY recommend New Rules, La La Latch (both mashups), Imagine, and Come Along... But I could name at least half a dozen others that are good as well.
Mitch is the guy with the very high voice, you’ll continue to be amazed by him (all of them, but especially him), Scott is the tall blonde, baritone. Kirstie is the girl (that’s how she used to refer to herself, she’s a lot more than that obviously) she’s the soprano. Kevin is the amazing beat boxer (arguably the most talented, he can cello box, sing, play drums, piano, rap etc..) Avi (Ah Vee) is the bass, he left the group in 2017 (under the best, most amicable circumstances, he creates also solo music) Matt is the new bass since 2018, he has a different bass voice, but he’s absolutely amazing, has a perfect smooth singing voice and he is the most joyful individual ever, he’s a great addition to the group. The fans are called Pentaholics, and I am one!
Good summary, Melissa.
Me too 😁
Perfect comment! The best Pentaholic spokesperson! But I'm still the one with a PENTAHOLIC tattoo! Lolol!! Teasing!!! No, you summed that up perfectly!! 💜
@@beverlykrebs4372 I don’t have a pentaholic tattoo, but I was lucky enough to get a hat (it just arrived).
@@melissacoviello2886 oooh!! Which one do you have??!! I got a red winter hat with the name on the front. It just doesn't really get cold enough very often where I live in central North Carolina to wear a warm hat! LOL!! I'm excited for you that you got your hat!!! 😃💜
Wait till Mitch ( the guy with the high voice hits one of his really high notes) he is a counter tenor with a really clear voice...they are all amazing singers and are really incredible when they harmonize together...your'e rigt whe you said you have only scratched the surface, they have tons of covers for you to enjoy
Sound of silence. Mad world. 90s Dance Medley are 3 of my faves, since you already saw Hallelujah.
I'll help you out.
So you can wrap your head around it, in the video at 4:31 where they are all in separate boxes, they are, in order:
Scott (white hair/eyebrows)-- Mitch (brown short hair) -- Kirstin (face makup/blue wig) -- Avi (moustache/goatee) -- Kevin (black eye visor).
I hope you watched to the very end of the video when they saiy "HEY!" They are, from left to right:
1. Mitch Grassi (tenor lead and backing vocals) in the teal shirt with black stripes (back row)
2. Avi Kaplan (vocal bass, vocal percussion, bass lead and backing vocals) in the black button-up shirt wearing the hat (front row)
3. Scott Hoying (baritone lead and backing vocals) in the black V-neck shirt (back row)
4. Kevin Olusola (vocal percussion, beatboxing, backing vocals) in the brown collared shirt wearing a necklace (front row)
5. Kirstin Maldonado (soprano lead and backing vocals) in the black tank-top wearing earrings (also, the ONLY GIRL)
In September 2017, Avi Kaplan, the group’s original bass, left the group amicably and was replaced by Matt Sallee (not pictured here).
Pentatonix have won three Grammy Awards: they were the first a cappella act to win Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella, doing so in 2015 and 2016,[17] and Best Country Duo/Group Performance in 2017.
So now you see them in makeup and costume and what they look like in real life. Those ARE their REAL VOICES, the singing style with voices ONLY, no instruments is called "a cappella", and they are all friends with 3 originally from Arlington, TX.
Love how excited you get listening to them!😁 They do also a stunning rendition of the music from Star Wars! It’s live but it’ll blow your mind.
But I’ll say again, you need to watch Mitch(the guy with the voice you like!) and Scott doing a fun & beautifully sung live version of the song “Defying Gravity”! You’ll know it by the bad green face paint and witches hat on Mitch..and the blonde wig on Scott.😆 But the vocals will literally blow your mind! It’s from Mitch & Scott’s side CZcams acct, Superfruit! Please check it out. You won’t be disappointed!😊
Also, if you do check out Superfruit, be sure to watch through the credits. There are often bloopers at the end that are worth their weight in gold.
You are so much fun to watch!!! This old PTX fan is really enjoying watching you discovering them!! You love Mitch Grassi's voice? Check out their fan recorded live AHA Singapore, the Star Vista !!!
I can't wait for him to do aha Singapore lololololollolol
He's not ready.....
@Daniel Carter I agree, he's not ready!
I'm so glad you've enjoyed Pentatonix sound! This featured a medley of the band Daft Punk's biggest hits in a futuristic groove you can't possibly ignore. They started off in my country, USA, on an a cappella competition called "The Sing-Off"; they themselves being a collection of singers, musicians, & overall homebodies trying- no, succeeding in 'making it big'. I find it fun you thought of Imagination Dragons with this group because they did a cover of Imagination Dragons' song "Radioactive" & feature violin artist Lindsey Sterling in their video- a very apocalyptic take on the feature, plus you get to see some of Kevin's roots (he was your beatbox extraordinaire) in sound AND cello!
I know they have done some original work, mostly on their separately released albums, though their unique approach to 'remixing a cappella' is enough to be original in my book, so take that as you will. Another couple of recommendations I would suggest are: "Video Killed the Radio Star" which they performed on the competition The Sing-Off, which really planted them on the map of creative minds... & their take on "Somebody That I Used To Know"- a more direct approach to their covers & the versatility shown in each of their members.
Side fact: first time viewer, will not be the last- I love seeing your excitement. Point blank, a first reaction never gets old & it doesn't matter how soon or late something comes out; when it's this good, it's timeless.
First, they always give you a little side smile, because they know precisely how good they are and how much they are about to absolutely blow your mind. Second, they did this without ANY special effects, auto tune, or instruments. Not only that, but they recorded and edited on an iPad in their closet and kitchen for like $400. Third, their is another video of them performing this live with nothing more than a couple microphones in a hotel conference room for a handful of VIP fans. They pride themselves on being able to perform all of their music live and completely acapella. Lastly, they actually won their first Grammy for this remix of several Daft Punk songs. I love your reactions, and that you finally fell down the Pentatonix rabbit hole with the rest of us Pentaholics. I could tell they had you hooked 10 seconds into the first video.
One of their original creations that have a similar vibe is “Love Again.” You will be blown away as well. Your next should be Bohemian Rhapsody.
Yes! I was going to comment this one but I saw yours, I second this!
One of my favourites of their originals. Check it out for sure!
Yes Love Again is great! One of my faves as well! Love Mitch in that one Love Love Love!
I absolutely love Love Again. Kevin and Avi composed and wrote it.
Oh boy, watching you go down this rabbit hole is gonna be amazing! I LOVE your enthusiasm and your excited little cackle laugh! You are very entertaining! When you said that you’ve just scratched the surface is quite the understatement! Each member has their own side projects that you must also check out! But let’s get some more PTX mind blowing videos under your belt first. Buckle up because you have 100’s of videos to watch between PTX and each of their side projects! Enjoy the ride! 😃
Not to mention Home Free and Voiceplay! Wow! This is gonna be fun! Lol!
I'm surprised I don't see a lot of comments recommending their cover of "The Sound of Silence"! It's one of my favorites of theirs 😁 also, your new journey down this rabbit hole has made you one of my favorite reactors! ❤ such great reactions, thanks!
Agree!
Today is the 1st time I have EVER heard of YOU!! I am a ride or die Pentatonix fan from the first note they sung on The Sing-off. I got teary eyed just watching you feel what I felt every moment they sing. I just wanted to give you a hug because you look so moved and lost at the same time. You should know that recordings of them singing are NOTHING compared to them standing 5 feet in front of you singing without microphones. Life changing!!!!
I love it when people discover them you can’t go wrong with any of there stuff Plus there Christmas music is the only Christmas music I listen too
I used to hate Little Drummer Boy with a passion until they did it. Now it’s on a loop every December 😂
Their rendition of Imagine is crazy good!
There are groups you jump and cheer for, groups you dance to, and then there are the rare few, like Pentatonix, that you sit in stunned amazement and silent reverence.
answering all of your questions
all of the sounds you hear is them :DDDD yes they have their own music :)) They mostly do covers but if you want to get some of their original songs check "sing" or "Misbehavin".
So they are a group of friends met in school times and won a talent show as pentatonix.
Mitch - the guy with high voice, very talented, changes his appearance often so its easy to confuse him for new people😂
Kirstin - the girl also crazy talented with very cute smile
Avi - guy with the beard and long hair, incredibly talented, known from his very deep voice but he also has an amazing singing voice which i think people often miss by being focused only on his "low" parts of singing. he sadly left the group for personal family reasons and he does some music on his own now.
Scott - blonde hair guy as talented as all of them in the group, in "hallelujah" people often miss how good he carried the low parts with his deep voice meanwhile avi was singing his part ;)))
Kevin - beatboxing dude, he has lot more to show than just beatboxing, an amazing singer and he is crazy good at playing cello.
few of my fav songs for you to check out -
"dance of the sugar plum fairy" - its just ART and you HAVE TO see it. a really good one to see what Mitch and Avi do with their voices
"bohemian rhapsody" - work of art, the singing, the clip, its just a one big presentation of what they are capable of
"90s dance medley" - very cool mix of old 90s songs i love it
"imagine" - touching song and their voices just making it better, you can also get to know them a bit more on clip
"little drummer boy" - a really good song to show what kevin can do with his voice
"silent night" - live pure singing recorded in church.
"Mary did you know" also a good one, crazy how they use their voices, i think they dont own a bad song
if you read it all i am very thankfull 😂 man i just finished whole nf journey and you come with PENTATONIX??? you kidding me im addicted to these two. love your reactions, keep being yourself we love you like this!
It's 7 songs by Daft Punk, the French EDM duo (recently retired), put together in a DJ style mix.
They did an original EDM song : Love Again.
In terms of crazy/impossible, they did a version of Bohemian Rhapsody that was recommended by Brian May.
Do you like Imagine Dragons? Try Radioactive. They got some help from a dancing violinist.
Their Havana has excellent atmosphere so you just get sucked into the mood.
Lots more. When Christmas comes around again, they have 4 or 5 albums of that. Some traditional, some modern, some originals.
Just for fun and to get your mood jump started, their original "Sing!" is so much fun. Watch for the cameos.
Yes to all!
You've stumbled upon the most diverse and musically interesting of the a capella groups. Their arrangements, their blend and their ability to upgrade songs are unmatched in the a capella community. If you like super low base or country versions of popular songs then check out the other groups (HF and VP)
This vid won them their first Grammy, and was done when they were much younger…..their sound has matured so much! If you want to check out something really recent, and because you love Mitch, I suggest The Prayer for your next one. Great reaction! ❤️
I have listened to a lot of Pentatonix reaction videos (I always love seeing the moment when a person gets Mitch slapped). You are by far my favorite. Your reactions are so genuine. Keep it up. Your reactions make me almost as happy as hearing Pentatonix sing.
Dont worry about the pauses, your reaction/comments are great. And besides Sony (SME) is brutal with copyright blocking, so the pauses will help you anyway :)
Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, My Favorite Things, and Havana are some of my favorites also. Adore their original songs a lot too. Gotta love people getting Mitch slapped. You too can become a Pentaholic! New sub just for your reactions to them.
You gotta hear their cover of Camila Cabello's Havana. It's the first one they did with Matt Sallee after he joined the group replacing Avi Kaplan, and IMHO it is better than the original.
@The Lone Ranger just my Personal opinion...but I think they're ALL better than the originals.
10 years old and my one of my favorite videos all time... I'm 49... no joke... Crazy!
I love watching first-time reactions to PTX! Welcome to the rabbit hole!
They have several original songs so make sure to check out the whole catalogue!
They are so amazing! You should definately check out their Sound of Silence and Bohemian Rhapsody next. But you can't go wrong with whatever song you choose to listen to!
The smiling-when-possible part you noted is a signature part of their presence. They honestly enjoy time together, it seems.
Notice that they actually can reproduce any of these audio tracks out on tour live.
I lost count of the times I came to watch each of your reactions of Pentatonix. Over and over. Hugs dear man.
It’s indeed awesome, they are doing a medley of multiple songs from the band “Daft Punk”
I could listen to them all day (I often do) and watching you enjoy them is such a thrill! Can’t wait for your next one. I agree with you too: they always seem like they are having so much fun and it’s infectious!
Great reaction! Check out The sound of silence, Can you feel the love tonight, Amazing grace, Mad world...all of them! Welcome to PTX world!😊
i highly recommend "the prayer". BEAUTIFUL!!!
They are a great group, and verrry talented. Another group you might give a listen to is Home Free, "When A Man Loves A Woman"... I really enjoyed watching your reaction! Blessings.
This won them their first Grammy-so yes-respect! You will end up with down a rabbit hole with some of the most loyal fans ever-Pentaholics! 😁
The one who’s voice you love so much is Mitch-his look changes ALL the time but he is an original member who is in all their songs-and the way you felt when he sang in Hallelujah-we call that being Mitch-slapped!
The girl is Kirstie (Kirsten) and she also ALWAYS changes her looks too but has been there since the beginning.
Scott is the tall blonde guy who covers the bass when their bass sings and has an amazing range and hit runs with the best of em!
Kevin is their beatboxed who is also amazing at the cello (he beatboxes with it and calls it cello-boxing), speaks mandarin and was premed when he left school to join Pentatonix.
Avi is their bass-or was until he left (on good terms and the only change in the original lineup) in 2017 and has one of the deepest voices you will hear-but sings beautiful as well
Lastly-Matt-which you haven’t met him yet-was the bass who Avi helped find that replaced him in 2018. He is young, soulful and a different feel than Avi but a great replacement in his own rights!
For some really good ones by them, check out amazing Grace, radioactive (you said imagine dragons and Kevin cello-boxes), imagine, evolution of Michael Jackson and ANY of their Christmas stuff. They also won Grammy’s for their version of dance of the sugar plum fairies and Jolene with Dolly Parton. My favorite original is called sing, but they have some other great ones too-there is nothing that you can watch of theirs ans not enjoy!!! Welcome to the group!
**and in case you are wondering they sound equally amazing live!!! I’ve seen them twice and cannot wait for my next time!!!
If you want to hear another great medley of them, react to Pentatonix 90s Dance Medley.
They actually got their first Grammy for this arrangement in the category “Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella”.
I was lucky and blessed enough to see them live in Seattle 3 times shortly after they won the Sing-Off. They are even better live. Absolutely AMAZING. Every single one of them, but my favorites are Avi and Kevin. I just love bass and percussion. I absolutely LOVE and adore your reaction to one of my absolute favorite bands. Sending love to you and your family from Germany. ❤
Love your enthusiasm!! Pentatonix are amazing. Glad you have discovered them. Here are some suggestions by them Gold, imagine, bohemian rhapsody.
Love your reaction to ptx, pure joy! Check out Love Again, Run to you, Standing by, Natural disaster and Light in the Hallway for some of their originals!
Brand new subscriber here because I love how delighted you are with them! In truth, that was my reaction too. Don’t let too much time go by before you listen to them in a live performance or you will start to doubt how good they really are. A perfect one for Mitch (the one with the high voice) is Aha recorded during a Singapore concert, he just soars into the rafters. My favorite cover of theirs lately is Havana, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their songs. Peace from Ohio … (Coffee in Bed is a good original.)
You need to continue watching their videos you will never stop being amazed. It gets better and better with them.
They got their 1st grammy for this...yes, its ALL them...hear them do it live!❤❤😊😊
yes they have some amazing original stuff as well, but are best known for their covers: Love Again (older); Happy Now (2020 with new bass); Be My Eyes (2020 with Kirstie on lead)
Ok,guess it's time for bohemian rhapsody. They have several originals, my favorite is coffee in bed
90s dance hits would be good for you too, Mitch sing alot of it
Just LOVE your joy at discovering Pentatonix! You commented about how much they were enjoying themselves but you need to understand that not only are they supreme vocal artists, they're also wonderful actors - or at the very least, superb emoters. In "Daft Punk Medley", you saw the joy; in "Love Again" (an original), the distoptian disaffect; in "The Prayer" & "Amazing Grace", an unswerving faith; in "Say Something", utter sadness; & "Mad World", such depression! Additionally, the videos are so well done that they often add to the whole feeling of the music. For instance, "Mad World" is shot on a black background. Each of the singers is alone in the frame, though all are singing. Facially, the people are . . . if not slack-faced, then without affect. There are "ghost" images of the singers walking behind the solid singers. Not all their music is so dramatic though. Fun, & possibly a not-so-subtle poke in the nose of the well-off, "My Favorite Things" is a marvelous take on the Julie Andrew's song from the "Sound of Music". SO many others: "My Heart with You"; Ariana Grande's "Problem"; "Radioactive", with KO (Kevin Olusola) on cello & Lindsey Sterling on violin; "Making Christmas" from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (GREAT fun); a mash-up: "New Rules x Are You That Somebody"; & their inimitible version of "Bohemian Rhapsody". Seems like a ridiculously long comment, but I left out so many, like "90s Dance Medley", "Come Along", & Kiiara's "Gold". Can you tell I'm proudly a Pentaholic? So glad to see you've found the Rabbit Hole. I've liked & subscribed. Looking forward to seeing you often. (Oh, yeah. "Imagine" is remarkable.)
Kevin the beatboxer dropped out of Yale where he was studying Pre-Med. He is also a classically trained Cellist. They found him on you tube doing what he did Cello Boxing. He also speaks fluent Mandarin.
