![[Fab 5 Stuns Again] Pentatonix - Mad World Reaction | Tears For Fears Cover | TomTuffnuts Reacts](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yh71bdR0Ig0/mqdefault.jpg)
only one female singer! mitch is often mistaken for one for his high tenor vocals. react to hallelujah to really hear them all individually!
Also Kevin do higher tones sometimes
I think in that particular case it was Kevin, because Mitch was singing the lead at that point.
Mitch is a counter tenor, he's basically a male soprano.
It's ok, he wouldn't mind you referring to him as a female singer...he often refers to himself as 'She' anyway. Lol! (And to think, Mitch used to be self-conscious of his higher voice).
Kevin is actually a Tenor. Mitch can hit higher notes since he’s a Countertenor but at the moment it was Kevin.
Members in this video:
Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo soprano)
Scott Hoying (baritone)
Mitch Grassi (counter tenor)
Kevin Olusola (beatboxer, tenor, cello)
Matt Sallee (bass)
Kevin is only singing in this video.
In earlier videos Avi Kaplan will be the bass. That is only member change in the history of this band.
Yeah and it made my head spin!! I was so bummed, but then I heard Matt and I fell in love with him too. 😘
@Collin Lynch yes but even Kevin himself has said he is actually a Tenor.
There are 5 members!!! 2 tenors (one of whom is a counter tenor and that is the other high voice) 1 mezzo soprano 2 have baritone to bass ranges. 3 Grammy Awards
The other woman you heard was Mitch Grassi. You will love him as you see more. They are the fab five. Welcome to the Pentaholic world. You will love it here.
React to another Pentatonix song and you risk becoming a Pentaholic. Don't say I didn't warn ya.
He have no idea... 😎
He doesn't need to react to another PTX video to become a Pentaholic - it only takes one!
Mitch’s counter tenor can go up into a soprano level and it is his voice not going into falsetto. He is truly a one and only. Be amazed and awed.
Most of us Pentaholics don't mind when you pause to show reactions and excitement, honestly it's why we are here, especially on the first video you watch and just start dipping your toes in. I'd like to welcome you to what will be a wonderful ride filled with emotions, goosebumps and several times of being shook.
What is amazing about Pentatonix is each member’s vocal range is so broad that they can cover many parts while another member may be carrying the lead melody. They are beyond talented! Great first reaction. Hope to see more Pentatonix on your channel.
There’s nothing like experiencing PTX for the first time! And the second time. And, as you will discover, any time. Subbed!
When they all sing together as one we call it the Wall of Sound.
Love when do that
Well, sir, you have a new subscriber.
Hoping you become a Pentaholic, we love watching a new reactor discovering Pentatonix...
Brings back the memory of our 'first time'...😊
Friend, if this is your first exposure to Pentatonix, you have a decade of jaw-dropping music to get caught up on. Pentatonix is to acapella music as Stevie Ray Vaughan is to blues guitar solos. They. Are. That. Good. Artists that are individually this good, and can mesh as well as they do - that's something that only comes along every generation or two. If you are into incredible vocal music, there is simply NO better rabbit hole to go down than Pentatonix.
My new favorite thing to do is watch people see PTX for the first time!! You did not disappoint! 😊
Hello bud great video more Pentatonix please. Hey PTX fam
Morning Sean !!
Dang it! Got here first again. 😜 Good to see you, Sean.
@@JoSedunary Hello young lady
@@rebeccafrost7731 Hey Rebecca
Well well well, fancy meeting you here.
The have 5 members-if you recall, the Pentatonic scale has 5 notes. Thus, Pentatonix. They substituted the X for the C because they thought it sounded cool. Mitch and Kirstie provide the "female" voices.
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Come on down and we, the Pentaholics, will be with you all the way. Great reaction.
Great reaction 😍 please more pentatonix 🙏💙 you need to watch their cover " hallelujah ". Its amazing 😍😍
Please react to Imagine, Happy Now, Hallelujah, Dreams, Where are you Christmas, and The Sound Of silence by PENTATONIX!!! I love your videos so much
One female (Kristen) and Mitch counter tenor. 5 members. Hallelujah, Sound of Silence and Bohemian Rhapsody are awesome and show their skills. 5 part harmony here. Great reaction. Subscribed!
For all of us with Anxiety, we can identify with this
song. The 'shadow selves' walking behind them starts out going forward and they
reverse and start going backwards. This is superbly shot and their emotion in
their faces and voices just show how we feel when we are in an anxiety attack.
10 seconds in when Matt hits us with his first low note I got chills, and when
Mitch said 'See right through me', I choke on a sob. I have seen this video
over 50 times now and it still affects me
Yes everyone, this has been a rough year but we will get through it. We all have a place in this world and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
I look forward to you doing more PTX I have liked adn subscribed.
Yes. Lets hang in there. Help lift up each other. We got this. Stay safe and healthy.
I love it as well. I hope you can cope and thrive.
There is hope yet. Back in my country (Dominican Republic) there is a saying "No hay mal que dure cien años ni cuerpo que lo resista", basically there is no problem which lasts 100 years nor a body who can stand. So, this too will pass.
To hear other examples of their "wall of sound" harmonies listen to Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Imagine, and Mary Did You Know. The Bass singer is the only one who changed (From Avi to Matt), though Kirstie and Mitch change their looks often. You won't regret listening.
You've suggested my four favorites, and if I may add a fifth--"Say Something". Their harmonies are exquisite in every song they do, but these five are the ones I go back to again and again just to savor the lushness and fullness of their sound.
@@gregseagler5111 Yes! "Say Something" is one of my top 5 PTX favorites!
I love to witness someone get to experience PTX for the first time, especially when they really enjoy them. They are amazing! You should react to their cover of hallelujah, sound of silence, and Mary did you know. Heck, just hop down the rabbit hole with the rest of us. Enjoy!
Your reaction was awesome. I have shared you to the Facebook group Pentaholics. Many will come, we are a very KIND and Dedicated fan base, please keep up with the Pentatonix reactions!
This group is something I have never heard before. That sound when all their skills get together cant be describe rightfully by words. Its is something else.
You don’t need instruments when you have celloboxing extraordinaire Kevin. He’s a true sound/vocal prodigy. Oh yeah, he also speaks Mandarin fluently.
Dark, lush, haunting, luminous.
There is 5 members in this group, hence the "penta" in the name.
- Scott is a baritone but has like a 4 octave range so he can cover pretty much any harmonic space they need. He covers the bass when the formal bass in the group is singing the melody.
- Matt, formal bass, but he also has a baritone range. He has only been a permanent member of the group since 2018. In, 2017 their original bass Avi left on good terms for personal reasons and helped them chose Matt to replace him.
- Kirstin, only female in the group, she's a mezzo soprano, but as you could tell, has a nice lower range.
- Mitch is a counter tenor and can be mistaken for a girl's voice, but in this song he also sang in his lower range. In the harmonies, there he took the higher harmony when Kirstin was singing the melody, but I think the other "female" voice you heard in some of the harmonies was actually:
-Kevin, he usually does the beatboxing and rhythm, but he has a nice tenor voice and his falsetto is very high. He doesn't get to sing very often because he's the foundation with the beats, but in these 5 part harmony songs, he's right there where they need him. He's also a world class cello player and can beatbox while playing the cello (celloboxing).
Overall, they are en extremely talented group of people!!! They been together since 2011, so there is a lot of content and I can't wait to see you discover it!! You really can't go wrong with anything they do!!
lurker1107 Mitch is not a countertenor. He’s a lyric tenor with a powerful extension. Countertenors are baritones who sing in their falsetto. Mezzosoprano is a midrange soprano fact. By definition it means a female singer with a strong middle and low voice.
You're just starting your journey my friend. I have been with Pentatonix since they won 'Sing Off' the 3rd year of the show, and took off from there. They have been prolific with their music and have just gotten better and better. Explore and enjoy. It will make you a Pentaholic like the rest of us! :)
...the harmony in Imagine is gonna blow your mind.
As I'm sure you've already heard, there are a total of 5 members of Pentatonix. There has been one member change since they started in 2011, and that was their bass, Avi ( you'll see him in earlier videos ). He left the group with no hard feelings ( though a good bit of sadness from everyone ) and even helped Pentatonix find their new wonderful bass Matt.
The members of Pentatonix are: Scott Hoying, he's the blond gentleman with the scruff. Mitch Grassi, he's the baby-faced member of the group with the high voice of an angel ( and the one you mistook for the second female voice ). Kirsten Maldonado, the young lady in the group. Matt Sallee, the newest member of Pentatonix and their bass. And, last but by NO means least, Kevin Olusola, who sings high tenor but mainly focuses on beatboxing and playing the cello in the songs they do which require it.
All of the members of PTX, as we call them for short, are powerhouse singers in their own right. But, when you put them together, they are...well, they just are. I can't think of a way to describe the feeling they give when they hit us with that wall of sound, all five voices blended together, harmonies so tight.
Fun reaction. I'll look forward to more.
Also, hey PTX fam! 🎶
Kirstin
We call that a wall of sound. They are famous for that.
Please do more pentatonix...fall down this rabbit hole bro ! !
Mitch is the guy with black hair & earrings. He's a high tenor & sings in a female range. Kristen is the only woman, although Mitch often refers to himself as 'she') Lol! There are 5 members in total, but yes, it does indeed sound like more...that's how full they are vocally. Together they are a wall of sound. Welcome to Pentatonix! Excited for more reactions. You really are in for a ride & there is so much to get through. Their older songs are with Avi who was their original bass singer but he's gone solo. Matt is an exceptional bass singer with a beautiful voice. 🙏
Instruments would only get in the way.
Very true.
Except for when Kevin brings in his cello. It never gets in the way, because they use it only when it's called for. Their musical sensitivity is impeccable.
@@janetranslates I agree. I was disappointed when the Orchestra came in for their Star Wars performance. Still wonderful performance, but they don't need instruments.
Hope you react to more Pentatonix. The Other Female you heard could be Mitch (counter tenor) or Kevin (tenor in this video, also beatboxer, cellist). Mitch was mostly in his low range in this track so it could have been Kevin's insane falsetto.
I really need you to do more Pentatonix reactions. I love your reactions to them. There are so many songs you haven’t experienced. I’d love to watch your reaction to Aha Singapore (it’s a live performance, it’s on a phone, the quality isn’t the best, but the performance is beyond anything you’ve ever seen from them, specifically Mitch).
New sub here! Love your reaction. You picked up on everything they did. Please more Pentatonix. They kill everything they do! Please do Hallelujah.
You are hearing the “wall of sound” when the 5 all sing at once! Kevin does all the beat boxing, background vocals and effects so you don’t see him here! Pentatonix comes from the 5 note scale pentatonic
Enjoyed and subscribed for more Pentatonix! Also, after you stop to comment, backtrack a few seconds to catch the flow of the song❣️
Welcome to the WALL OF SOUND its when their all harmonies meet and become one welcome to our world love your reaction.
No need to apologize for pausing, I'd rather you pause and react than talk over the video and miss something. They are truly amazing. Well done on wearing headphones!
Subbed in the hope you do more PTX reactions, love this one, 5 members, one lady and one angel, (Mitch is incredible)... Avi the original bass you will see in older videos if you react to them (and i hope you do!), other wise it is Matt ( who has come into the group and made his own stamp on the bass position)... they are incredible. Love reactions to their music.
I'm sure other Pentaholics have already filled you about the members. And trust me, we understand reactors pausing the 1st time (and 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) they react to them, it can be overwhelming but in a good way. Just think, you haven't even reacted to a song where there is beatboxing! Can't wait to see your next reaction :)
Mitch is a counter tenor, sounds very similar to a female
Actually, we don't yet know if Mitch has an upper limit to his range - Angels would sin to get his voice.
He’s not a countertenor. He’s a tenor with a strong upper extension. Countertenors are usually baritones singing in a strong falsetto. There is a subtle but significant difference in vocal between tenor and countertenor. Good example of countertenor is David Daniels, Philippe Jaroussky and Iestyn Davies.
@@sopranosd I'll rest my case. Regardless of the name, Mitch has a range that most human beings shouldn't try for, out of respect for their vocal chords.
Richard Barber it’s not a case. It’s just a distinction. Mitch’s voice is extraordinary and all the more so for having the sweetness and stability of a true tenor structure.
I really think Mitch should be classified a soprano, due to how thin his voice is. Soprano and counter-tenor are the same range, the difference is timbre.
To really get a feel for how high Mitch's voice is (dark-haired guy with the earrings), you have to react to Pentatonix's Hallelujah. He's the guy in the hat. ;)
Im very excited. It has been a busy week so I have only been able to upload my recorded reactions from few weeks ago. Will be doing more reactions on my next days off. Its nice that there is something that I look forward to.
Two females? Nope, you've been "Mitched!" Mitch and Kirstin have very equivalent ranges and that is one of the secrets to PTX and their seamless harmonies. Often you really can't tell if Mitch or Kirstin is singing a particular part in the background. (It's obvious when they're singing lead, of course.). "Penta" is a word root for the number 5, which is one of the reasons they chose the name as they have 5 members. The "pentatonic scale" is used for modern pop music, which is the other reference in their name. They have around 18 million subscribers and over a billion views on CZcams. Their most viewed song, a cover of Hallelujah, has over 500 million views on its own. It's no wonder they have won three Grammy awards so far.
If you check out their "about" page on their channel they have 4.5b views. Which is just insane.
@@JensterEx O
@@joebarnhart4460 😲 kinda like this? Lol. Mine was too when I saw it.
Hahahahahaha you’ve been ‘Mitched’ 😂😂😂 exactly what I was thinking!! He’s like ‘I can hear 2 females’ nope you can hear Mitch lmao beautiful, angelic, vocal perfection Mitch 🥰
One must remember they have over 15 million views of their own videos, that does not include the millions more from private live videos, reactional videos, and guest appearences on shows. So welcome to Pentholic world and look up the whole library of PTX, there are zero bad videos to find in there.
Sometimes you will need to pause to avoid copyright - if people don't like it then they can always go and watch the original instead ! Plus this is a 'reaction' video ...and the first time you've seen them, so to stop and comment on each section/member is actually interesting to me. Might save you uploading twice though if you only paused a few times but hey, it's your channel and you can basically do whatever you need to do !! Thanks for the double reaction - much appreciated.
More PTX please!
Mitch is a Counter Tenor & Kirsten is Mezzo Soprano. Kevin, the Beat Boxer, is a Tenor I/Tenor II when he sings. Matt is Bass and Scott can do about anything needed. 😊 Check out some of their live performances. They sound the same live as recorded. They refuse to record anything they can't re-create live on stage. They're Amazing. ❤️
They are so good
Being an Oncology Nurse I have to give love where it”s deserved. PTX is the most famous acapella group in the world. They have 3 Grammys to prove it. You will never be the same after jumping down their rabbit hole of 10 years of some of the most beautiful,amazing and powerful vocals you will ever hear....Enjoy your journey through their mast catalogue of great music...just subscribed. Expect much more content from PTX..Judy D
Great reaction! Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole! A point of interest if you found their harmonies spectacular, add to that the fact that due to quarantine, all 5 recorded their own parts alone in their homes, unable to hear each other, they were combined in studio. To sing in such perfect harmony as they always do, proves their incredible talent. To do those perfect harmonies apart from each other is simply unworldly!
You will now get many PTX fans (called Pentaholics) viewing your channel and making suggestions. Truly pick ANYTHING from their extensive catalog of covers and originals and you will never be disappointed.
As mentioned in other comments, prior to 2017 their bass singer was Avi Kaplan who left amicably for personal/family reasons. This bass, Matt Sallee, was recommended by Avi as his replacement. That has been the only change in the group. If you watch their earlier videos, you will find it hard to recognize Mitch (and sometimes Kirsten) as they often change their look.
Kirstin
One female (Kirsten) and one counter tenor (Mitch) and I agree, they sound like an entire choral group not just 5 people. If you want to check out Mitch’s genius, listen to Gold a cover of a Kiara song. What was done with synsthizers Mitch does with his voice. Budding Pentaholic Welcome!!!! 😇🤩💕
Please react to Pentatonix singing
Happy now
Imagine
Havana
Gold
Sound of Silence
Sing
Mary did you know
Royals
New Rules
Come along
You need to check out more of their stuff, they are amazing. A good starting point is to listen to their cover of Hallelujah. The offical video. Welcome to the big rabbit hole of Pentatonix, Us fans are called Pentaholics.
There are 5 of them... The high notes are from Kirstin (girl) and Mitch (counter-tenor.. he is the second "female" you hear and he sings higher notes than Kirstin in general)
Disabled RN & Pentaholic here. 😷 Would you please do reactions to Imagine, (so relevant to our time currently), Bohemian Rhapsody, (and remember that it's all A cappella),
Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Daft Punk (Grammy winner 🏆), Mary Did You Know, and there are so many other great ones. Their evolution of: music, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, etc. are awesome too. Thanks!!
Hi The_Bonz I’m so excited for all of these. Thank you. Stay safe and thank you for what you do and for your caring heart.
Great reaction, I recommend you watch to Pentatonix Daft Punk Medley - and they won their First Grammy with that rendition.
Also you have to watch/listen the beatboxing guy in his full mode . They are so talented ! Thank you
Subscribed already, great reaction. You'll be blown away if/when you carry on delving.
welcome to the ptx family
Thank you natalia ❤️
Top things I’m crazy about PTX: 5 (6) incredible voices, 5 (6) charismatic and charming individuals and amazing musical arrangements (Add Ben Bram’s input). Pros, hard workers, music lovers of all genres. Great reaction. Enjoy the ride. 🤗
I love watching people discover Pentotonix. Subscribing! Please do more Pentatonix.
Subbed for PTX. More please! They are amazing!
Definitely do Hallelujah or Mary Did You Know
Are you a nurse or your name is Nurse? Great reaction! Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. You will not be sorry you found them. They have actually been together for almost 10 years now. Looking forward to more PTX reactions. There are so many songs to choose from beginning in 2011 ish and you can’t go wrong with any of them. If you keep reacting to Pentatonix, you will get many Pentaholics subscribing to your channel. We are a loving and loyal bunch and we love when reactors listen to PTX.
more PTX, please! I recommend their covers of Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Mary did you know, Bohemian Rhapsody, Evolution of Michael Jackson.... but, everything they do is superb!!! :)
Hi SpaceyDoodle!!!
@@shortybarnesyanik hey my sistah! How goes it?!
Spaceydoodle busy busy!
@@shortybarnesyanik that's good 😁 miss ya!
Yes! You can't go wrong choosing a Ptx sobg. Just close your eyes & point! I would add "Shallow" to the list, and "Can't Hold Us".
5 members. Mitch sings very high like Kirstin, then there is Scott who is baritone/bass, Matt is bass, Kevin is the beatboxer/celllo player.
New sub here! I enjoyed watching you enjoy the greatness that is PTX 😍
Yes, they are phenomenal. I suggest you to listen to their version of hallelujah and bohemian Rhapsody and many more amazing stuffs. I will assure you, they will definitely blow your mind. Nice reaction btw. Keep 'em coming👏
Only 5 people in the group, hence the name "Pentatonix". The beatboxer, Kevin also has a fairly high tenor voice, which he uses when he's not busy with the beatboxing. But Mitch has a very high voice.
The one you think is “the other female” is Mitch! He is a countertenor, so he has the ability to sing high tessitura lines!
One female. One male with an amazing voice.
You have reacted to sound of silence I see.. Do a reaction for Pentatonix version!!! U will enjoy!!
LOL great reaction, I had to subscribe!!
I'm sure people will catch you up on the members and all, so I'll just leave my suggestions: you should react to the videos from their "evolution" series, they are all recorded live!
Also, the grammy winner Daft Punk medley is a must! As are their covers of Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody. I also like the Sound of Silence a lot.
They're all absurdly talented and I'm always thrilled to see people blown away by their stuff. Enjoy the ride!
Welcome to the wonderful world of pentatonix!!
(And the new subscribers, cause pentaholics will start to show up!)
only ONE female singer plus there is only 5 in this amazing group welcome to Pentatonix land
React to Making Christmas, the most vocally challenging piece that I have heard them do. Please, you will be amazed, Mary Did You Know is beautiful.
5 members. They create a “wall of sound”. You’ve got about 200 more videos to go
6:35 I always say they are the V.A.S.M.R of music ("Vocal" A.S.M.R)
The stops and starts are usually annoying but I loved your reaction, you were clearly blown away! Others have explained the members so I'll skip that. Bottom line, GREAT cover by a GREAT group!
PTX!!❤
Kevin the best beatboxer in the world also sings and plays cello.
They sound the same live.
Who needs a fan club? We are PENTAHOLICS!
Five in the group. One female
Check out beginners guide to Pentatonix
You will learn everything about the group
You are hearing Mitch!
The ordinal isn’t Gary Jules, though I love his version, it is Rears For Fears
Listen and watch the video. Talk at the end
❤️❤️❤️
Dude, you're killing me with all of the pauses. It really breaks up the flow of the piece.
FYI, there are 5 members, and the second "high" voice is Mitch Grassi, who is basically a counter tenor. If you wanna really hear his high range, you could check out their live performance of "Aha!" in Singapore.
1 female, Kirsty. The other (female) is Mitch who is a counter tenor with a ridiculous range.
Penta -- means 5 (people)
Never more than 5!!
Watch more Pentatonix
Nice reaction. If you kept your eyes eyes open you would have seen all five of them singing their parts. Not a good idea to close your eyes while they are performing. You will miss a lot.
Hi Vidsorama2 thank you. Next time I will do that. Pls stay safe.
I think his eyes are closed to concentrate on the gorgeous sounds he’s hearing!
You hear Mitch and Kirsty....
The more you pause a PTX video, the less likely your reaction will get blocked. These videos seem to get blocked a lot! Pause as much as you want. We Pentaholics want to see your reactions!
There's 5 of them. 1 female, 4 male.
React voiceplay the little mermaid medley
Please
Five people. Only five people can make a sound like this. Why would anyone need an instrument? Only one, Kirstie, is female. Mitch is a high tenor and can match a lot of Kirstie's notes pretty spot on.
You want something that sounds like the clouds just parted? Listen to them do "Hallelujah". Half a BILLION y-tube hits can't be all wrong.
I see controversy in the comments about the pausing in the reaction. Anyone who's seen my name in the comments to other reactors will know I have more than 2 pence (cents) to add. Relax, this time I'll limit myself to just the 2.
I think that, as with most things, it's all about balance and of course the need to avoid blocking. We're here to see the reaction and Pentaholics will know the video forwards, backwards and up and down but others hoping to gain an introduction to a group they haven't heard before (and believe it or not there are still some) will not and too many pauses will interrupt the flow and dynamics of the performance and the interplay between the voices which are the core of Pentatonix's uniqueness, although running the video back a few seconds after the pause might minimise that. As a result they may not be inspired to go and watch the original and be transformed and swell the ranks. Like I said, balance.
