PTX is the gold standard of a cappella. No one does it better. Subbing for more Pentatonix reactions. You will be amazed with their unmatched talent!!!
YOU SHOULD CHECK THEIR COVER OF THE PRAYER YOU WILL BE AMAZED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAA
Awww yes you're gonna love them. They can do pop, rap, gospel, classical, and ALL the Christmas music ever. You will definitely find something you love
You need to check out their version of “Mary Did You Know”. 😍😍
Thanks for reacting to my favorite band - PTX!!
Welcome to the premiere a capella group around! You want to hear everything from them? Then buckle up 'cuz they have over 200 songs in their discography! They do most genres and don't have a bad one in the lots...we fans think that all the overs they do are upgrades. They can take a song you are fed up with or even hate, and make you like it again.
What to check out next? They have 8 Christmas albums, so ( since Christmas season is here) choose some of your fave Christmas songs and likely they have their rendition. O Come All Ye Faithful, mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells, God rest Ye merry Gentlemen, Pur Imagination/Christmas Time is Here.
Leonard Cohen wrote HALLELUJAH and said that over 800 renditions and multiple verses, Pentatonix was the Best he had ever seen or heard.
Dr. Brian May from Queen posted their UPGRADE to Bohemian Rhapsody on his social media with one word: Enjoy!
They have done several "Evolution of...." Music was first, but Michael Jackson is the most popular. Beyonce also posted their Evolution of Beyonce about 20 minutes after PTX released it. Praised by the original artist. Beyonce also sent Scott a Yellow microphone, and it's on CZcams when he opened it.
3 Grammys, Daft Punk Medley was first. Dance of the Sugar Plum Ferry second. Third was with Dolly Parton. They also Calab with Megan Trainor, Tory Kelly, Jason Derulo and even Whitney Houston if you go deep into the beginning of their career.
OK this bit about Leonard Cohen loving their version is pure urban legend. Somehow the fact that he told them (before the recording) that he preferred to hear it with *his own original lyrics* rather than the alternative Christmas lyrics that they originally meant to use has been transmogrified into what you said here. Pentatonix released the song on October 21, 2016; Cohen died after a fall in the night on November 7, 2016. He was both ill and terribly busy in the last weeks of his life, and no one seems to have any evidence that he made that statement. The story of Pentatonix is wonderful enough without any made-up parts.
Welcome to the world of Pentatonix!! You are in for a treat and we Pentaholics are going to be right there with you. Enjoying every step of the way. You are going to need to get many more fire extinguishers for this journey.
Their latest 2 tracks are pure fire 🔥. A Kiss From A Rose 🌹 is the best song I have ever heard them sing. They jus together better a time goes by.
Hope you are doing well. Sending you love from Texas ❤
Pentatonix
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on CZcams, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his CZcams videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on CZcams), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on CZcams, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch czcams.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/video.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. A good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
They have Grammy wins for Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene featuring Dolly Parton. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Another nomination for Holidays Around the World album in the 2024 list!
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star!
They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
I'm a die hard pentaholic so I know my people will flood your comments with recommendations. But overall, I love seeing incredible artists when they are really in the zone and fully immersed in their craft. You should check out some Drumeo videos where drummers listen to a drumless version of a popular song they've never heard before, and then they make up their own drum part along to it, and then afterward they listen to what the real track was. It's hard to explain but incredible to watch. You can look up Chad Smith plays 30 seconds to Mars, or Megadeth drummer plays Mr. Brightside.
I just subscribed. Can't wait to hear more Pentatonix on your channel. I love them them they are awesome. Please react to "Mary did you know", "The Prayer", "Amazing Grace", "Joy to The world", "Oh holy night". There are so many but whatever you choose, you can't go wrong. They are the best in my Opinion.
This particular song is not a religious song in terms of it being directly, biblically based. The writer, Leonard Cohen, was more focused on man's constant struggle and failure to embrace love for all sentient beings on this planet and his failure to love unconditionally and to be his brother's keeper as we are beseeched to do by many spiritual teachers who came thousands of years before us. He's trying to remind humanity that love is the only way to get out of this hell that we have created.
Leonard Cohen was Jewish. He found through the particularism of Judaism.
Hallelujah is about a disastrous and painful love affair.
@@susanstein6604
I know that he was Jewish, and that the song references the struggles of a painful love affair. But it goes deeper than that. It also references the envy and jealously that we have towards our brothers and sisters when they excel and are more successful than us. It exploits how willing we are to stab them in the back for having done so. Mitch's verse conveys this very strongly. The reactor made reference to thinking that the song was religiously based due to the title being 'Hallelujah'. I'm clearing that up for him -- if you don't mind.
Enjoyed your reaction and subscribed to hear you react more to this wonderful group. They have a new release from VEVO of Seal’s Kiss From a Rose that is stellar. It features their replacement bass, Matt Sallee who replaced their original bass, Avi Kaplan in 2017.
Recommend their cover of The Prayer.
I saw one reactor crying thru this,saying she used to sing this in church choir. I dont her story however as its not a "religious song but more about broken love.
Just subscribed for your Pentatonix reactions! Can't wait. Nice reaction to this one. Thanks
This isn't a religious song. If you listen to the lyrics, it becomes obvious It's about broken relationships. It does contain references to Biblical tales, which misleads some of us.
🎶 David played a secret cord, that pleased the lord but you don’t really care for music do ya.
That’s a biblical quote, God gave david a musical talent. He would play unto the lord🙏🏾 the song definitely has some religious context to it.
@@200acresreacts1it is a biblical quote, but the song is not a religious song. The original artist made this clear.
@@200acresreacts1before the writer Leonard Cohen died, he made it really clear this isn't a religious song (like say, Amazing Grace, which PatX performed to perfection), it's about love and heartbreak.
@@RamenNoodle1985, hallelujah literally means praise God. By the way, this is on their Christmas album.
@@jcs1025, most of these lyrics and the song from the Bible and hallelujah literally means praise God.
Subbed for more PTX!
HEY Hon,
REQUEST…
Could you PLEASE also react to:
K.D. Lang
also performing:
“Hallelujah”
At the 2010 Olympics…
When the author of this song, Leonard Cohen, heard K.D.’s performance of it… Mr. Cohen actually said that “no one else should bother” singing it… because she is just THAT AMAZING!
(The video is on the official Olympics channel)
I subscribed for more reactions to Pentatonix, please listen to Please Santa Please their newest original on their newest album, also the mashup of Pure imagination and Christmas time is here and Kiss from a rose (live vevo video) and you’ll be blown away.
Sub'd for more Pentatonix
🙏🍁
Heart Of The Sunrise by Yes album version or Awaken
Check out amazing grace
This song isn’t a Christmas song. It’s not even a Christian song. Leonard Cohen, the songwriter was Jewish. Please listen to all the lyrics, not just Hallelujah.
Hate to tell you but this song has nothing to do with God or religion. Don't let the title fool u.
The song is depicting the story of Jesus and The word Hallelujah means Giving God the highest praise🙏🏾 you may not believe it but it definitely has a religious connotation to it🙏🏾 #jesusislord
Well, apparently you didn't listen to any of the words, since it is NOT about Jesus. It does start with an indirect reference to King David, but it is about the difficulty of love. Leonard Cohen apparently wrote about 80 verses, but only 9 or 10 of them are reasonably well known. Now, the verse that some folks sing as the last verse (but Pentatonix does not, at least in this recording) does suggest that, when we die, we will "stand before the Lord of song with nothing on [our] tongue but Hallelujah," but even that says nothing about Jesus. And I'm a retired minister, so I know a bit about such messaging.
@@200acresreacts1 no, it's not. Look it up. Leonard Cohen original writer.
Yeah this is definitely not a religious song
Bro, sorry to burst your bubble but a Jew wrote this song (Leonard Cohen).
The Song is Spiritual; Not Religious. There is a difference…
Not religious 😂
