![Pentatonix - Say Something- SO GOOD. [Pastor Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OhUHIolC3u4/mqdefault.jpg)
Kevin calls that cello-boxing. That wall of voice as you called it, I see it as a vocal tsunami washing over the listeners.
I felt like I could feel Kirsten's angst in this song and Avi - omg I could feel his sadness.
The "whoosh wind " sound was actually Kevin, not Avi. Kevin beatboxes while playing the cello which he calls "celloboxing" and invented it which ironically is how Scott and Ben Brams (the invisible 6th member of PTX) discovered him through one of Kevin's celloboxing videos on CZcams . The group will actually agree with you that Kevin is the most talented. Love this cover by them. Thanks for reacting. 😊
I understand why she thought it was Avi. He does the wind in some things like daft punk and problem
You need to do Havana and Come Along. KO's mind works on so many different levels at one time, most of us will NEVER be able be on his level.
Kevin 😍
I'd say pretty much all of us
Poor Kirsten never gets enough kudos for what she brings. Everyone always fawns over Avi because he's so deep and rich as a base, Kevin because he sounds like he swallowed a drum machine and is freakishly talented, Mitch because he sounds like a girl and can sing really high and is a novelty to many people. Scott is also underappreciated for his soulful, rich lead vocals.
You can never get enough of pentatonix!!
Kirstin makes me cry every time I listen to this damn song
"Enough of pentatonix, move on already"... Said nobody ever! 😂
Since you love Avi and Kevin together you should watch their cover of Gold by Kiiara! They're so slick, and Mitch absolutely nails the lead too
What is this "enough of Pentatonix" you speak of? Those words don't compute or make sense to me or most (all) Pentaholics! There so SO many you have yet to experience! You should check out their official video for Aha (cover of song by Imogen Heap) and then their live performance from a fan cam in Singapore at the Star Vista. Most of of Pentaholics would love to go back in time and have been at that concert. They were all on FIRE but in AHA Mitch is just totally feeling his performance.
13:45 the first and only time you mentioned Kirstin and she was fcking lead in the song lol
There can never be enough Pentatonix reactions
You would love their cover of Gold. Just sitting around with microphones being awesome.
This!!! “Gold” blew me away, and I was NOT ready for it! Hadn’t heard the original either, but it didn’t matter 😂 I listened to it 5 times immediately after!
Yes PTX all day! They drop a new original ep on Friday! Avi is my favorite too! I agree though about Kevin he is super talented, but also the hardest worker. The pop spring concert is a good one for some old originals. The singoff performances are great to see their beginings.
apparently, they were going for a portrait-style video...trying not to move too much to make it look like a painting... that's why they look so serious :)
Love seeing Scott ‘white-knuckling’ because he can’t move his hands while he’s singing 😂😂😂
@@kaseycurtis468 lol exactly! It must have been a serious struggle for him to not be able to "sing" with his hands!🤗
@@jennyfield266 LOL. They all do it to some degree. Actually, if you look close, they cut to Scott's face at times but it's when he moves a little bit which you can see in his shoulders coming up and his elbows coming in a little, especially for a few of the crescendo moments. I think it would be difficult to sing with no movement (obviously this isn't when they recorded the song), to be able to increase volume or go up in pitch especially. Additionally, it's interesting how they all have a different pose: Scott's hands on the 2 chairbacks in front of him, Avi's hands folded together, Kirsten's hands on her knees, Kevin playing the cello, and Mitch's "relaxed" pose. Very well composed.
That's interesting. I thought it was because the song is so sad and it definitely fit the mood of the lyrics. Their lack of motion actually adds to the angst and anguish of a dying relationship, the desperate cry to save or revive it that is falling on deaf ears.
@@wendischambach6181 Your interpretation is excellent. I only know about the "portrait" concept because they explained it in one of the PTXxperience videos.
About damn time you did another Pentatonix reaction... lol good to see you and the guy hiding behind you.
Never too much PTX!
Thank you for the reaction. There is no such thing as too much Pentatonix. The more the better. I love their rendition of this song and I love their video..
AVIIII IS AMAZINGGG 💯
The whoosh was Kevin. He cellos and beat boxes at the same time. Listen again and you’ll hear Avi’s bass note while Kevin is whooshing
I would watch and subscribe to a channel of only Pentatonix (provided you included each members side projects - their solo work, Avi stuff after he left Pentatonix, Superfruit, all of their Sing Off performances, etc.).
Love it❤ More Pentatonix Please!
I wouldn't mind PTX all day every day ;) Love them all but definitely Team Avi. I think videos that are lower production are more intimate. I love their earlier music because of that. The days on the mustard couch are perfect. I miss that. Thank you for your reactions.
Pentatonix is my favorite group as well and I agree Kevin is honestly one of the most talented and I mean they all do have a great pitch and Kevin has a beautiful voice and also I would pretty much say it is how it is really cool how Kevin is just playing and also beatboxing
Peter Hollens and Avi Kaplan collab on Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair. This one is amazing.
There is never too much Pentatonix 👍👍👍
Megan you need to checkout their “Gold” cover. Just sitting around singing and being awesome.
How about Shallow cover. Pretty much anything Pentatonix
I love your reactions and I would vote for more PTX. You have done most of their really big ones but there are lots more, such as: Mad World, Imagine, Be My Eyes, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, but for your next reaction I would vote for either Sing or Come Along. Both are up tempo and fun songs. We can always use a little fun!!!
Kevin is not human - he can't be! In the halleluja live video from the Christmas special - if you start looking at him. One thing is that he does some of the harmonizing with the others, but at at some points he is keeping track of 4 rhythmic patterns at the same time: He is stomping one beat, his hands are doing two separate beats and his mouth is doing a 4th one... I cannot even fathom how ridiculously hard that must be for his brain. I mean I can barely walk and chew gum at the same time!
Kevin has called this "cello-boxing". Before PTX, Kevin released a CZcams video of him "cello-boxing" while he was in China on a college fellowship. It was this video that Scott saw when searching for a beat-boxer to join him, Mitch and Kirsten for the "Sing Off". BTW, Kevin also speaks fluent Mandarin.
Please keep going with the PTX videos. I really love this one and I’m grateful you took the time to look at it. Thanks for posting.
Kevin and Christine are my two favorites and this is of course my favorite group it’s just Kevin and Christine have an amazing voice and I mean I think they all doIt’s just Kevin beatbox says he can play musical instruments and then Christine she just comes with that amazing pitch and really I do think we’re all amazing it’s just Kevin and Christina my favorites
PTX ALL THE TIME! I could watch them forever! Thank you for reacting. They are so amazing. They have been contacted by many groups and bands and soloists to arrange this song for them.
Kevin, can you play cello and drums at the same time?
Kevin: no problem.
If you want another great cello beatbox song try their radioactive cover with Lindsey Sterling it's so good! Keep up the great reactions you're great
They wanted the video to look like a painting come to life.
You should check out their cover of Kiiara's Gold. It's a deceptively simple arrangement, because they make it look so easy, but it's riddled with tons of amazing details. Shot and recorded in a single take as a bit of an ode to their early couch days, it's probably the best display of how incredibly talented they are not only with their vocals, but also their arrangements. It's my favourite cover of them, along with Hallelujah (which is also out of this world and still makes me tear up whenever I listen to it).
Excellent song that allowed ALL of them to really shine! 💖
I miss your PTX reactions... we need more 💞
I love how much you appreciate ptx but how do you manage to watch an entire video where Kirstin is lead and only mention her once in an incomplete sentence? Lol
Urban legend says that Scott, who speaks with his hands, had to hold on to the chairs with a white knuckle grip. Also Kirsty had an eye infection which is why her hair was draped over her eye in that style. The setting was supposed to imply an old style photograph.
Please don’t stop with Pentatonix, it’s one of the reasons I subscribed to ya!! I love watching people find them and then go on the journey of becoming obsessed lol!!
Just love your reactions to Pentatonix you love them like I do ... they are amazing and so are your reactions ..... thanks
😊 thank you
@@MissMeganFriday so very welcome sweetie
Avi and Kevin were the two classically trained in the group.
Avi vocally and Kevin instrumentally.
Avi worked with Kevin on his voice as it was not something Kevin had focused on
before he joined the group.
I liked the group when Avi was in it.
Great reaction. This is one of my favorite songs by them - GORGEOUS! The arrangement and emotion is stunning. PTX all day long! Love it! My new faves are "La La Latch" live or video and "Standing By" which I think there are only live videos in concert. You'll enjoy any that you do. Have fun!
That's how they found him for the Sing off - KO had a video of "Cello-boxing" go viral and they (Scott) found him and asked him to join them for the competition, Oh he speaks Mandrin amongst other stuff:) Try their cover of Gold, its kind of like this just 5 friends jamming around the couch
My favorite PTX cover ever!!! It always gives me chills!!!
You should also react to the "Acapop" Kids. Pentatonix helped get them established, and introduced them. Their version of "Bohemian Rapsody/Somebody to Love" is excellent.
You can find some solo work of Kevin, chello boxing, it is impressive. They are all so freakishly talented. Then add to that the top notch arrangements.
This song still gets an emotional reaction from me, every time.
Anyone sayin move on from PTX??..i don't think so lol. Avi still a fav in all our hearts. Kevin's Celloboxing is pretty dang crazy. Gotta agree cause if you listen he is crossing rhythms with beatboxing and cello. Truly 5 of the most talented people out there.
First, your boyfriend ought to be jealous of Avi, LOL! I lost my wife of 30 years to emphysema, but while she lived, she was obsessed with Conway Twitty. She swore that when he sang, Hello Darling, that he was singing to her. She went to one of his concerts and took 10 pictures of him, and they were all from the waist down. when I asked about it, she said that was as high as her camera would go. Ha ha ha! I'm telling you all this because she used to look at and react to him the same way you look at and react to Avi! You said is that all Kevin gets. Is beatboxing and playing the cello not enough, just kidding. I really like your reactions. I still see the shock with every video you see, and I think that is awesome:)
LOL. I assumed this video was made shortly after Daft Punk, because he did the ice look for that video. I could be wrong. I agree that this video's simplicity adds power to the emotional pull from them.
You might want to review their Christmas song White Winter Hymnal.
Kevin played at Carnegie Hall for cello. This song takes little effort for him. Not a complicated part. (He played at Carnegie for alto sax, speaks Mandarin, finished pre-Med at Yale before he left for this.
You need to go look at the videos when they were contested on the on the sing off. Just watched change in them this week to week but that's how they got their start
You should definitely check out Kevin celloboxing Heart Attack. It’s phenomenal.
I think you could have given Kirstin more credit here, she's the lead and gives so much pathos and meaning to her words. Plus her tone is so beautiful here.
She gets left in the dust way too much in reaction videos.
She really does.
Go Gaga all you want...this is Kirsten song. Every else supports her.
This is one of their most passionate covers
Pentatonix rocks!
It was Kevin's coined "cello-boxing" ability that got him the Pentatonix gig in the first place!
"He only got a little part?!?" No, I don't think so. Kevin was the biggest part of this recording. He only had a few words, though, at the end. Same thing in several other recordings, Amazing Grace, for instance.
Did you only watch the last 15 seconds of her reaction of the song? She went on and on about his ability and what he was doing with the cello-boxing during the song. She was *obviously* referencing his small singing part.
Love your reviews...stay with PTX!😊😊
Great reaction. You should do “Dancing on my own”. It was done after Avi left, before Matt came. So it’s just the 4 of them, with Kevin playing Avi’s missing bass notes on his cello. It’s sad but so beautiful.
This video was meant to be reminiscent of a photograph, and they tried to keep movement to a minimum. It about killed Scott and Mitch who sing with a lot of hand movements. You can see them hanging on to chairs/other stuff to keep from moving. 😁 I always think Scott looks too pale /vampire-ish in this video. I laughed when you said it was almost creepy.
Question for Q&A: What do you do in you “real” job? What made you want to start a music reaction channel?
Do you have a music degree? You're by far my favorite reaction video producer. You never miss a beat and pick up everything. What is your background?
I was a singer and drummer. I was never on their level. I would work both hands and both feet and have to sing. You have to put your mind into a different place to make it all work right. The only way I can explain it is you have to separate your mind into different parts to work everything separately and then put another part of your mind in charge to make it all come together.
I think Kevin is probably superhuman compared to the rest of us mere mortals.
If you want to hear a haunting PTX, listen to their "Mad World"
Or Carol of the Bells
Or for a more fun "can't stop moving in your seat"
90's Medley or Can't Hold Us
more PTX one of my favorites
When you said it wasn’t the most popular choice to react to, but that you really love the song so you wanted to give it a listen.....I gained sooo much respect for you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your reactions! There is plenty of great songs and arraignments left to react to. Gold, Shallow, Come Along, Havana, Royals...
What you described, the wall of voice is well known among PTX fans as "The wall of Sound". We love it! Love your videos. Also they still do very simple, sitting on the couch music videos. Production quality has obviously gone up as they have more money to put into the videos. The couch goes back to their very early days when they posted videos from Avi and Kevin's apartment and just gathered together on the couch and sang a cover.
Miss Friday, good to see you, I love PTX, but we need to expand your horizon. There is an all female rock band from Japan, Band Maid. They are world class musicians, songwriters & vocalists ! They are their own genre of music, " Happy Rock ", they will allways put a smile on your face. Please react to there song, " Freedom ", the live version, you will know what I mean ! Thanks, peace & love❤🤗⚘
I absolutely love this song! I love all their voices and the way they express the emotion! PTX will have a brand new video coming out on Friday from their new album! It's called Coffee In Bed. You'll definitely want to react to that soon!
I heard they wanted the video to look like a painting. It was really hard for Scott and Mitch to do since they are hand singers. Scott especially was white knuckling the chair he was holding on too.
I think Scott looks kind of like Billy Idol with that hair. I'm old......
There is no such thing as too much Pentatonix! You could do two PTX reactions each week and still not run out of material.
They are dropping an entire new album of original music tomorrow, Feb 12th, so let’s have more PTX. Other videos to react to: Gold by Kiara, Shallow (my favorite with Kevin playing cello), Rather Be (very upbeat), Run to You ( just the 5 of them singing, no beatboxing), Imagine by John Lennon. Enjoy!
Yyes
For me, my favorite is Mitch. And although I agree that Kevin is possibly the most talented, because he can play multiple instruments both with his voice and with his hand and can sing too. But I think the best singer is Mitch. In fact I believe if I remember correctly in past interviews the other band members say the same, that Mitch is the best singer and if they get lost in the song and are in the wrong octave or tune all they have to do is listen to Mitch. because he is almost always always perfectly correct. High praise coming from his own group. I also think out of all of them he has to mute his voice more than other members when he's not the lead, because he is got the most powerful of all of them. Which is why even if he is muting it you can still hear his voice. I love me my Mitch!!
Try PTX ft Lindsey Sterling, "Radioactive" or their cover of "Shallow"
For another cover of this song (that got a shout out from A Great Big World) try KZ Tandingan's version from Singer 2018 (the year after Dimash was on that program). The best place to start with her on Singer 2018 is when she joined the competition on Episode 5 with her unique cover of "Rolling In The Deep", which won the episode.
Pentatonix is a favorite of mine, BUT...
When are you going to hit some more Angelina? Your reactions are so Fresh! And there is so much to explore. IF you do her Whitney tribute next or (deep sigh) merely soon, let me warn you to outfit that chair with a seatbelt. Maybe not quite as mind-blowing as I Put a Spell on You, but the BEAUTY! (OOF!) It hits you in the stomach and may knock you outta that chair. Love your stuff ❣️
✌️😎
BTW....there is another great collab with PTX and Don McLean doing American Pie ( did I just shoot myself in the foot?)
More Pentatonix, perhaps new , "Coffee in Bed" or upbeat "Havana" (with more Kevin) - rather than the ballads?
more of Kevin's talent...if you haven't yet...check out radioactive....
Hey Megan, I’ve enjoyed watching your reactions. Your enthusiasm is a lot of fun to tune into. Being big of a Pentatonix fan as you are, it’s obvious that you appreciate their talent and their take on a lot of different songs. It’s nice to know that an a-cappella group can still be main stream. It’s othst note that I want to run another group by you that I think you would enjoy quite a bit. If you enjoy a-cappella then you’ll most certainly enjoy a group named “Straight No Chaser”. They are an a-cappella group that was formed at Indiana University in the 90s. Their story is quite interesting. Basically it’s 10 college buddies who got back together after many years because somebody from a record label saw a video of theirs on CZcams. Having moved on with their lives they got back together after many years and started touring the country and putting out albums. I have been fortunate enough to have seen them live three different times and they are OUTSTANDING in person. I would highly recommend going if you ever get a chance and they come to your area, and of course Covid allows us to have concerts again. They are known quite a bit for their Christmas music but they do a lot of other things as well that are very good. I will tell you that there are a lot of concert footage of them on CZcams and most of it doesn’t even come close to doing them justice, usually taken with a cell phone. I left you a link to give you an idea of what they are like. m.czcams.com/video/6OEQXGk0k0w/video.html They do a lot of complex original pieces, and medleys as well . They are a blast in concert, very funny too. Thanks for all of the reviews and reactions, always fun to see what you have going on. By the way, I think it’s time for you to revisit Angelina Jordan again, definitely check out her version of Aretha Franklin ‘s, “Natural Woman”. I think you will be blown away. Peace out.
Questions: What part of the country do you live in and is it cold there? (It's freezing and snowy in Ohio.). What is the best dish that you cook? And tell us your most embarrassing moment. lol. Oh, and YES. Please keep the Pentatonix reviews coming!! Thanks. :-)
Good question(s)!
You should totally do a reaction to PTX's new release " Coffee in bed ". I believe it is an original. Now I love a lot of their music that they have done. But, this one is by far my favorite. The beat that Kevin lays on this one with Matt in there will definitely blow ur mind. Mitch and Scott tearing it up as usual. Kirsten didn't have that big of a part in this one. But, she was the looking beautiful as ever. I hope you do this one. Thanks for this reaction. Can't wait for the next one.
Hi from Sweden! I came for PTX and stayed for PTX 😊. Love your reactions and can sooo relate to them! 🥰
You need to check out their "evolution of" series. You get sort of a live feeling because it's simply them in front of a mic, one take only and no studio editing. Amazing arrangements and crazy transitions! Check out evolution of Rihanna, Ariana Grande or Beyoncé for more recent ones, or evolution of music or Michael Jackson from the Avi-times.
MORE MUSIC FROM AVI PLEASEEE🤩🥰😍
I want a dedicated ptx side channel! Haha and don’t try to tell anyone you’re not obsessed with avi after gazing back into his eyes while he sings to you! We all saw it... we all felt it too. Haha avi has a special talent of being able to stare at someone directly while he’s singing and not be creepy. It’s amazing. I usually don’t like direct stares from performers... avi is different.
Angelina Jordan & The Church in
How Great Thou Art
Nice way to start a day with.
Have you reviewed Home Free
American pie featuring Don McLean?
If you want to hear the ranges of Avi and Mitch react to AHA live from the Star Vista in Singapore.
Too bad your reaction didn’t talk about Kirstin. Not only did she have the lead, but she killed it.
Please react to their Seasons of Love.
"Digging the hair Scott" as they pan to Mitch...
Gotta give Kevin props. Anyone who can play a borw instrument and sing or beat box. Very difficult. How many violinists have you heard sing?
The wind came from Kevin.
You should Listen to Angels we have heard PTX
Hello Miss 💎⭐⭐⭐🙏⭐⭐⭐😊🙁 Megan ❤️❤️❤️
This is supposed to be like an old fashioned portrait. Poor Scott is really clinging to those chairs so he's not using his hands.
Just too good, I really wish I could take up a petition to bring Avi back but that's the way it goes sometimes. Great reaction Megan.
According to the "Sing Off* program, Kevin+Avi=Meat and Potatos
This is a sad song.....balance it with "Come Along".....TOTAL fun and you won't be able to stop smiing.
