    This is one of the best reactions I've ever seen. There are a lot of nonsense PROFESSIONAL reacts to pentatonix and you can tell it's just click bait. Yours isn't - it's one of the best technical and professional examinations of pentatonix I've ever seen. and I've seen a LOT. Thanks for your time and effort and you can multiply that by 10 for the english subtitles - very few non-english speakers take the time to do that. Kudos to you and I hope your channel does as well as it deserves!

    I've watched hundreds of Pentatonix reaction vids, including a bunch from professional voice coaches. Your analysis is the first one I've seen which has gone into this level of detail from the standpoint of breaking down the arrangement on the fly. You are hearing and commenting on things that I've not seen other reactors catch, so kudos to you.

      Instant and detailed analysis "on the go". Even though there are lots of pauses, I like this better than the "cheerleader" reactions which don't really educate or inform. Good job. s The first time I ever heard them perform, I just sat there with my mouth hanging open and teary-eyed.

    Loved this reaction because it's interesting to see a professional break down their arrangements. They are so unique and perfect. That's why they won 2 Grammys for arranging. A third one for a collaboration.
    Please check out Hallelujah next and do it just like this one!!! 👍👍👍

  • @Karen-Campos
    @Karen-Campos Před 3 lety +72

    Thank you for your subtitles and and your thoughtful breakdown of their arrangement. They are very intentional with every word, note, beat & silence. They have been together for a decade now and trust each other implicitly with timing. We Pentaholics call their build up, the Wall of Sound and yes they often have full silence breaks as they know well how to use them. When they sing on same notes for a line or two, we can expect them to break back into harmonies which is SO powerful. Bravo!
    Amazing Grace is stunning!

    I have listened to a fairly large number of reactions to this and other Pentatonix videos. Yours is the most complete, most incisive and in many ways the most knowledgeable I have come across. In addition, you do a better job of explaining and relating what you are experiencing, feeling and knowing than anyone I have heard/seen. There others who are knowledgeable and ,of course, some are specialized in certain areas but you excel in all areas. You pick up on nuances in the performance that many do not and you bring them to life for people who do not possess you knowledge, experience or artistic depth and understanding. You have a wonderful gift and you are a wonderful gift for all of us. Thank you !

    Roberto, I just recently discovered your channel.
    How refreshing it is to see a real professional dissect the song/performance phrase by phrase, and render your personal critique of the construction, implementation, and delivery, of these genius renditions of songs that were popular so long ago.
    Pentatonix is today's ABBA with a much more sophisticated modern twist to their compositions. I, like others, have stated... get so disgusted with most other analyses of these ( know-nothings) that never hear what you absorb, because they are not cultivated enough to appreciate what they are hearing.
    Thank you for your precise examination of every layer of color and texture this group puts into their performances. It is beyond belief.
    Thank you for unearthing, and expounding. on the hidden treasures of phrasing and tone and timing, that might go unappreciated had you not brought them to light. You are a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you for your channel, and all the work you put into it.

    Welcome to the world of Pentatonix. Yes, they are masters of their craft. Please listen to more. Note: a heads up: the bass from 2011 to 2017 was Avi Kaplan. From 2017 to present is Matt Sallee (the one in Sound of Silence).
    Members in order of solos:
    Scott Hoying - baritone
    Mitch Grassi - tenor
    Matt Sallee - Bass
    Kirstie Maldonado - soprano
    Kevin Olusola - Beat boxer (and tenor - he does also sing.)

    I was thrilled to see you had a new reaction today and to one of my favorite groups! Then, I asked myself why did I enjoy your reactions? And, this is it... because even though music is dots (notes) arranged on lines (staff) written on 2 dimensional paper, so in that sense, it is linear. But when instruments (human and crafted) have those notes applied in specific sequences, it undergoes metamorphosis into a multi dimensional conceptual experience that no ear alone can contain. You get that and the fun for me is listening to you try to explain it.😉

    • @LezioniDiCantoOnline
      @LezioniDiCantoOnline  Před 3 lety +15

      Katy, I couldn’t have found a better, more poetic and elegant way to describe this wonderful alchemy we call music.

    • @timfredrickson6141
      @timfredrickson6141 Před 3 lety +4

      Katy, you nailed this!! The music that Pentatonix creates is so much more than vocal range. It certainly is that too, but their arrangements, variations, and intensity levels really create that multidimensional effect.
      Roberto, I was new to your channel. I'm very familiar with Pentatonix and have enjoyed much of their work for these half-dozen years or so. It's refreshing and informative to hear reaction and breakdown that exists much more than, "Oooh!! That high note!" "Wait! This is just their voice?!"
      Those are amusing for the surprise reaction, and it's fun to watch people discover something, but it was very satisfying to hear you get into chord progressions, rhythm, vowel structure, etc.
      There was a time where I sang quite alot with accomplished musicians better than I am. These were the kind of directions I'd receive to bring my baritone along to match their skill.
      I very much look forward to more of your work!

    Smartest analysis ever. Pentatonix are real perfectionists and everything they do, they choices they make, are deliberate and well thought out. You picked up soooo much in your analysis. I'm impressed. It took me 50 listenings to pick out those points on my own! (By the way, the female singer, Kirstin, is half-Italian, so there's that... And the high-pitched male singer, Mitch Grassi -- there's got to be some Italian with that last name!)
    They end a lot of their songs sotto voce these days. I think you'd love their interpretation of Can You Feel The Love from The Lion King. It is quite the performance, with costumes included. czcams.com/video/cT1Kzk7akjQ/video.html. (Extra bonus -- it has THREE key changes!)

    I was totally captivated by this comprehensive review! You present your emotional reaction to their music, as well as a detailed technical analysis, but you are the first reactor I have heard that marries those two, to help us understand the genius of Pentatonix... exactly how they take us on the emotional journey that draws us in, lifts us up, shakes us to the core, and finally, leaves us somehow changed. Bravo! I would love to hear your analysis of their cover of "Hallelujah," which features their original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, a classically trained basso profundo. You may also enjoy their interpretation of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"... a piece with no lyrics, performed by PTX with no instruments!

    Like so many others here, I really really appreciated the amount of detail you were able to extrapolate in your analysis of their stylistic choices! For example, that little voice break that Mitch puts in at 8:45, which almost makes it sound like he's crying -- which you commented on! I loved that. And the way Matt opens up his notes on "saw" and "songs", taking up so much more space, but then dialing it back just as quickly... all the little details, you caught them all! I was SO impressed!!
    If I could speak Italian and if I could afford it, I think I can safely say there's no one I'd rather have as a vocal coach than you, sir.

I would have missed out on this beautiful group. They have given me many hours of pleasurable listening.

    I'm a fan of Pentatonix and was excited to hear what you had to say about them! I loved hearing your breakdown of the arrangement (honestly I say that a lot). They let me appreciate the songs on another level.
    I would love to hear your breakdown of their "Hallelujah" (there is a good quality live version!) and "Run To You" (I believe is an original). Even if you don't react to the second song, you should absolutely listen to it.

    Thank you, Roberto, for your thorough and thoughtful analysis. I listen to reactions for PTX exclusively so, of course, I have heard their version of "Sound of Silence" dozens of times. No one has ever captured all the musical (and physical) inflections that these 5 supremely talented folks have performed the way you have. Excellent work! I didn't read all the comments, but I saw a couple people mention that PTX has been together since 2011, but the three in the center (left to right) are Kirstin Maldanado, Scott Hoying, and Mitch Grassi. Scott and Mitch have sung together since middle school and with Kirstin since high school. They are completely in tune with each other. We all have our favorites, but there are very few of their songs that I don't enjoy. I hope you continue listening and reacting to them, and I'm SO glad your opinion changed by listening to this song. ;-)

    I am five minutes into this reaction and am incredibly delighted. I can't wait to watch the rest, but had to comment immediately because I wanted to suggest a song (even though you're right, it's long past Christmas!) that pertains directly to your comment about the quality of sound and atmosphere the 'ooo' sound makes for the background. In my favorite song that PTX has done, Little Drummer Boy, there's a place where they change from an ooo sound to an ahhh and it's almost like vocal fireworks going on behind the soloist at the time. It's fantastic, and I have yet to see someone comment on it. They also use a filter on the beatboxing at one point to slowly change the 'brightness' of it to support the song, which is very interesting. I'd love to hear (read! My dad, long dead now, spoke Italian, but I wasn't old enough to learn when he passed, sadly) your take on it. Now to watch the rest. Superb, truly fantastic analysis.

    • @darsynia
      @darsynia Před 3 lety +1

      Just adding, this was all fantastic--you gave us both your genuine emotional reaction as well as your clear love of music and talent in recognizing what they're doing technically, all at once. I only very slightly mourn the loss of what you've clearly cut out, but at the same time, you display some obvious editing skills in that fact that you've made a complete, coherent, and compelling video for us to watch! I would learn Italian just to be able to understand you had you not included the subtitles, truly. Top-notch, fantastic, subscribed, can't wait to check out your other stuff. Thank you so much for the obvious time, energy, and passion you've put into this.

    Roberto, today I discovered your review of Pentatonix cover of Sound of Silence, and like others on this thread have remarked, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction, and informative analysis - so much so I watched your review 3 times. I very much look forward to you future reactions of this amazing group. I myself discovered Pentatonix about 9 months ago and, after experiencing 4 of their official videos and live 2 “live performance” videos, I joined the legion of fans known as Pentaholics.

Having the subtitles so that I could understand all your comments about how beautifully Pentatonix chooses everything that goes into their songs made it perfect. You explained it in a way that I’ve never seen anyone else do. They do a cover of Ed Sheeran’s song Perfect where the beat boxer plays his cello. You might find it interesting.

    When I listen to this song of almost any Pentatonix song I enjoy in what I have come to understand as a very superficial level. But it’s no less enjoyable. But when I listen to it with you explanation of what’s going on it takes on an entirely new dimension and I can appreciate them so much more. This is the second song of theirs that I have heard you react to and have come away with an even greater love for their music. It is now my intention to go back and listen to all of your reviews of their music. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.

Your subtitles are wonderful because although I speak Spanish, my Italian is pretty wobbly. I look forward to your reactions to other Pentatonix songs, especially the Aha!

    I really enjoyed this reaction/breakdown and have read through the comments and you are getting a lot of great suggestions for songs. I am going to mention ones that most others won't mention but really would, I believe, adapt to your style of reactions in a truly remarkable way. They have an original named "Sing" that i believe you would really be able to dive into well. Very early in their career they did "Save The World/Don't you worry child", a mash up with more amazing transitions and unexpectedness. Just a couple more suggestions that you probably won't receive from others but could be perfection on your channel.

Thank you for the English subtitles and the added value of learning a little Italian as well. I will be looking for more of your break downs. Especially if it is PTX. P.S.
