- Had to get to some more Pentatonix because why wouldn't I.
What'd you think of Pentatonix - Daft Punk and what else should we check out?
See you every day at 3 PM CST for a new reaction! - Hudba
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Song with no words performed with no instruments.
Not mention Avi hits that crazy low note (Avi is the bass, had the braids going on in Daft Punk), and Mitch hits that crazy high note (Mitch is the High School Musical guy in Daft Punk).
And won them their second Grammy!
Got it coming up soon!
Their first Grammy award winning single
The Grammy is for the arrangement and the recording academy had to add the phrase A Cappella to their category so they could be included
Avi, the bass, is a basso profundo. He is know to blow out speakers during concerts.
Thats absolutely crazy lol
And in concerts when he hits his low notes you can feel them vibrating in your chest!
@@mariafortino5017 Yup. I know people who know him. He can do that without mics.
ALL acapella! (look up the Daft Punk private performance - it's a live recording where they don't even use microphones)
They do have a few songs where they use instruments (mainly cello, but also a few with violin and one with piano) - but they are always shown in the video. So if you don't see an instrument - there aren't any!
I have that Daft Punk version on the list to do!
So, this video cost them a whopping $400 to produce. 😂😂😂 *Grammy... CHECK!*
But yes. Unless you see actual instruments with your own eyeballs, it's voices only. (Aaaaand yes, that includes the bullhorn used in Bohemian Rhapsody. It's simply a prop. Mitch kills the guitar solo without it.)
Money exceptionally well spent! I don't know if the $400 was total production cost, or just the recording and costume cost. Avi and Kevin (the bass and beatboxer) shared an apartment, and the recording of everyone's parts was done in of their closets. I think they all knew they were doing something special; you can tell from their expressions. The recordings were turned over to an editing house, and unless they were doing it for an exceptionally low price (or free), I can't imagine that it fit within the $400 number.
Bohemian Rhapsody got blocked 😢😢
But just goes to show if you have talent you don't need all the money to get a grammy.
This guys got a "to do" list as long as your arm next to his head but he crawled down the PTX rabbit hole ?? My sympathy to his family because nothing is going to get done for a long , long time ! haha
Truth
🤣🤣🤣
Oh yes. Been a pentaholic sense 2012
Just a heads up...Mitch (the guy you said should be in High School Musical), never looks the same in any of their videos but it’s always him. Same with Kirstie, always different but always beautiful. Kevin (the beatboxer) always looks “fly”...Scott is definitely an angel (at least his voice sounds like it) and Avi (bass) is always amazing. You will not see him in all the videos since he left the group awhile back. The new member is Matt and he is phenomenal as well ☺️
@Alexandria Hauser I’m not sure 🤷♀️
Okay these PTX reactions are giving me life.
Drink every time he says “tight”.
The humming...
Shut the front door...
The head bobs...
The to-do list on the wall..
Take the like then... 🤣
Don't drink I don't want anyone to die 🤣🤣
They are the only A capella group to ever win a Grammy and as people have said they have 3! Amazing vocal band!
Yes they have 3 Grammy
Daft Punk Medley
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Jolene w/ Dolly Parton
Yes, they won a Grammy for this arrangement, what is more impressive is that the Grammy category had to be renamed to include accapella.
BTW, check out their Bohemian Rhapsody if you like guitar riffs.
I think finding videos of ordinary, hapless reactors turning into Pentaholics is a new hobby of mine. They never disappoint.
Glad I could entertain 😂😂
It's all from their mouths. Their beatboxer, Kevin, is "the human 808", and the bass in this video, Avi, can, has, and does blow out speakers with his low notes.
Lolol that is absurd. Love it.
Blonde guy: Scott
Beat boxer: Kevin
Counter Tenor: Mitch
Woman: Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty)
Bass: this one was Avi. Avi amicably left the group and was replaced with Matt (dude in the stunning white jacket in Sound of Silence vid)
You have to check their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody!!
Yes
His mind may be blown!
It got blocked 😢😢😢
Was absolutely ridiculous tho.
@@WhatTheBlastt oh no! they will usually release it if you appeal. They have tons of people reacting to then because they are AMAZING. Please give an appeal a try
@@WhatTheBlastt or try putting a dark filter over the video, we Pentaholics have seen the videos so many times, we’re watching for your reaction so if you need to put something over the video to obscure it so it doesn’t get blocked we won’t mind 😁 I’m a new subscriber and I’m loving your reactions 😊
this is all their voice, they sound almost the same live
I know it's not christmas anymore, but if you want to see the beatboxer really show off, 12 days of Christmas will BLOW you away! :-)
I love Christmas so I'm not against listening to it anytime!
Yeah, all mouth noises. I'm sure Kevin drove his mama nuts with making noises when he was a kid. There are vids of them doing this live, just standing in a room singing this song and they make the same sound. More muted without microphones, but still the same. Sometimes they snap fingers, stomp or slap chests, but that's not cheating I don't think. Dedicated ah-capella artists.
The bass bomb- yeah he does that. Avi Kaplan is one of those basso profundo dudes who can blow out speakers.
just wait until this reactor watches their Bohemian Rhapsody video. He is going to faint and then have a heart attack and then faint again.
You basically called it lol. That reaction got blocked tho 😢😢😢
I’m here for it!!
@@WhatTheBlastt Some reactors get around being blocked with putting some kind of filter over the video. Maybe you could try it, because I would love to see your reaction, haha
Love Again is my favorite of their songs! And it's an original. I highly recommend it.
Thats my favorite song to this day!
Yeah, soooo good!!!😍
Got it on the list!
Yes, they really are that talented! Welcome to PTX! So much more waiting for you to discover!
They're all contributing to the overall song, no body is wasted, and yeah Kevin's one of greatest beatboxers around, Avi the jesus guy does the bass you can hear
Getting Mitch slapped is my favourite! Kevin is the vocal percussionist!!!
I recommend their evolution videos. One take, live recordings. Absolutely amazing
Got them on the list!
OOOOOOH MY GOD! This is my favorite reaction video of you watching PTX! I knew when you got to this one it would blow your headphones off, but when you slid out of your chair I hit the floor!! 😂😂🤣🤣😁❤😂🤣👌👌 That's how I feel every single time I hear a new song from them. Absolutely amazing! And I love seeing people discover them on these react video's. Keep it up!!!
Good rection. Yes. Everything just with mouth. They are the winners of three Grammys. For this they got the first one.
Yep. Told ya! Lol. So let me throw another wrench in the gears....there's another a capella group called "Home Free" Do a reaction to their cover of "Ring of Fire" The bass in Pentatonix, Avi Kaplan, is also in that song. And Home Free has a badass bass already named Tim Foust. They'll blow you outta the water, man!
The beat boxer of Home Free is a freak of nature!! Love both.
The collaboration of Tim Foust and Peter Hollens on Far over the Misty Mounains is very good, too.
The 'side ways smile' is called side mouth singing. It enhances the harmonics of a singer's performances. She is an expert at it. Mitch does it some as well, but you can see her doing it in many pieces.
Keep in mind, they do this live, in concert. And they got a grammy for it.
"THERE'S JUST SO MUCH HAPPENING I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" That pretty much sums up everyone's thoughts on this one when they see it. So amazing!
Just overload hahaha
They look different in every song! It's crazy! Especially Mitch. Most people reacting to this song lose their chair at some point. Try "Can't hold us by Macklemore/Ryan lewis.
I keep coming back to your reactions because you are so entertaining!!!
🙏🙏🙏
You're instantly my favorite reaction video person. Holy crap I vibe with everything you say and I've watched these Pentatonix videos hundreds of times. We just live vicariously through you people for that first hit of the Pentatonix crack pipe.
Nice reaction. Thanks. This awesome song medley got them their first Grammy for the arrangement.
Checkout Avi Kaplan's overtones. It will explain a lot of what you just heard.
Avi kaplan overtones, the lion sleeps tonight.
Will check it out!
Just for fun, lookup their 'live' version of this they do for a private audience somewhere. Even with inferior sound equipment in the video, you can tell they sound like this live. Totally crazy. But then again....WAY back in the day, there was no equipment to 'resample' stuff, so singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, The Platters, The Temptations....all sounded like that live. This is just a modern version of that same level of true talent and skill.....
My favourite Pentatonix video of all time. Kevin (beat boxer), and Avi (deep bass) are killing it. Unsurprisingly, they won their first Grammy for this one. Check out the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to see their second Grammy song.
Pretty impressive to do an A Capella version of a piece which doesn’t even have words!
Avi and Kevin are just crazy in sync with each other, it's basically symbiotic
Loving your reactions, and that t-shirt! PTX and their team are amazingly talented, incredibly hard working and so creative in their song choices and arrangements. You are in for a fun ride, and so are we!
Check out Kirsten singing
Be My Eyes she looks fabulous!!🥰🥰🥰
I'm a sucker for pretty girls and good singers so I'll def check it out!
Everyone reacts that way to Avi. And we all miss him so much!
No additional instruments. It is them.
The wear and tear on that spacebar tho 😬
I have a lot of thoughts and I like to get them out 😅
In the few videos where there's an instrument, you'll see it. Sometimes it's Kevin celloboxing, sometimes Scott on piano. So yes, it's all their mouths. Keep an eye on Avi during this, him and Kevin are perfection together.
I’ve never laughed so hard watching a PTX reaction video in my life!🤣 I’m sure I have at least two bruised ribs. Priceless. New subbie. ❤️
I laughed so much when you mentioned Teen Beach Movie because they did actually cover Crusin' For A Bruisin' from the Disney Channel movie for a promo, I guess? 😅 I remember it was shown during one of the commercial breaks during the premier of the movie. They were adorable in the video too. You could tell that they were having fun with it, lol.
Teen Beach honestly isn't bad and Crusin for a Brusin is pretty catchy. Will have to check that out!
That's the quickest I've ever seen someone pause to marvel at Kevin. And I'm here for it!
She looks so good I can barely handle it.
SAME. Who knew I liked avatar looking women lol
@@WhatTheBlastt she did. Muhahaha.
Not only are the "sounds" all made without instruments or percussion, but yes, they can even make themselves "skip" without tech or effects. They do it in live performances as well.
And yes, Avi's low range is just spectacular. This song doesn't come close to highlighting just how amazing his voice is. He isn't with Pentatonix any longer, since 2017, and their new bass is really good. But Avi is, for many of us, special. When they were on Sing Off in 2011, where they got their start, one of the judges commented that Avi was able to do things with his voice that other singers required studio equipment for. He joined with Home Free for Ring of Fire (that video is also worth a reaction!), and has also collaborated with Peter Hollens, and probably others I haven't found. As a solo artist he has produced some both amazing and sublime music, and a couple of really first-class videos as well.
The beat boxer is the bomb! He sings, plays the cello, piano, "air trumpet", and speaks several languages including Mandarin. Check out his KOver of Down. His name is Kevin Olusola.
he's an expert with the saxophone as well.
There is a video Pentatonix Daft Punk mix private performance, where they are singing this live to a fan in a dressing room and it sounds the same as the video.
Gonna have to check that out!
a heads up: now that you've decided to jump head-first into the rabbit hole, your subscriber count will increase with loyal a capella fans seeking reactions for Pentatonix, Voice Play, Home Free, Voctave, and several more. We love watching as new people get introduced to our fandom and enjoy the music we love to the point of it being an addiction.
You've got one new subscriber here.
Yeah you guys have already almost doubled my subs in 2 days. Mindblowing lol. I'm super excited to check all this out it's a world I've heard of but never listened to.
Massive doses of Extreme talent+ the kitchen + a closet+$400. = GRAMMY...Welcome to the Rabbit Hole! Enjoy!
Avi and Kevin (bass and beatboxer) were called "meat and potatoes" on the singoff
Yup! By the Original Pentaholic: Shawn Stockman. "Kevin and Avi you are no longer named Kevin and Avi ok? I officially name you "Meat" and "Potatoes"." 😂😂😂😍😍
Loved the reaction Thank You
Well, this one did win their first Grammy award for the arrangement. So, lots of people agree with you about this song.
Bohemian Rhapsody, PTX version. Will blow your mind.
I recorded it but it got blocked. It was insane tho.
You should check out one of their original songs, "Love Again". Really highlights the bass (Avi) and the tenor (Mitch).
Got it on the list!
I’m dying. 🤣🤣🤣 Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Keep going ...
Subscribed!! Your reactions to PTX are hilarious! Your are quickly becoming a Pentaholic!
Beat boxer is Kevin
Bass singer and player is Avi (Ah-vee)
White hair is Scott
Chick is Kirstie (rhythms with thirsty)
Counter tenor is Mitch.
Avi and Kevin make the instrument sounds, and sound effects. Listen to Bohemian rhapsody by PTX. you'll love it
Fast name list:
Low voice: if it's a white dude it's Avi, if it's a black dude it's Matt. Avi does have that lower tone that sounds fake, he also blew some speakers on shows, pretty amazing. They also make some sound effects
Beatboxing: Kevin. He also plays cello in some songs, but they always show when they have instruments, and it's not frequent. He is a beast.
The girl is Kirstin. She will look different, but only Avi left. It's always her. Amazing singer.
Tall blonde guy is Scott, he is a baritone (not too low or too high of a voice for a man).
The guy you said could be on high school musical can sing male or female parts, actually he sings the highest parts in the group. Super talented. Rare voice. He will look completely different in every video.
I legit thought you straight up died during that Avi solo. 😅😅😅😅❤ Yesssssssssssss
Their cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” is next. Then their cover of Imogen Heap’s “Aha!” but not the official video! React to the LIVE fan-cam version taped at the Star Vista, Singapore. Here is the link czcams.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/video.html THANK YOU! You’re reactions are great 👍! Love witnessing the birth of a new Pentaholic!
YES
Got those on the list!
@@WhatTheBlastt Despite the naysayers, the official video for Aha! should be seen first. There are effects that the live performance just doesn't pick up. The Singapore version is amazing, but I think you should hear ALL of the amazingness.
He's not ready for Aha yet...LOL!
You melted to the floor🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes I just get overload and that happens. System malfunction 🤣
They are a special gift to us. They have another EDM piece - an original called Love Again that is amazing. And weird.
You'll probably like their Bohemian Rhapsody, partially because it should be impossible, but also because it is just so good. Recommended by Brian May.
They also have a habit of improving pop songs by tuning up the arrangement : Havana, Say Something, Shallow, Cheerleader.
Their originals are quite excellent : Sing!, Run To You.
And way too much Christmas music : Mary Did You know, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch are the big hits, but if you know it, they have probably sung it.
They do some Disney and Disney-esque music, partially because Kirsten's mezzo-soprano voice is a perfect match for a lot of the Disney song leads, but also because Mitch, with a slightly different sound is also excellent in those parts : Let It Go, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, When You Wish Upon A Star, Over The Rainbow, Come Along.
Some of their recent big hits are Amazing Grace, Be My Eyes, Happy Now and My Favorite Things.
And yes, I think Kirsten's makeup in this Daft Punk medley hit most guys' fetish zone.
Kevin is ALL there sounds!!
You must react to Aha! - Live in Singapore, absolutely best performance. Avis lowest note and Mitchs highest note...absolutely the best one!!!!
its amazing how people keep saying this cant be there mouth, when u can see there mouth moving. hes just bobbing, he is doing the deu deu deu.
I love to see the first few reactions of people that are new to PTX, you are now officially a Pentaholic 😂
So Avi Kaplan who is blowing your mind with his low notes is an incredible base but if you want to hear him singing properly without the sound effects, he is singing a solo career now.
Kevin Olusolu, the beat boxer is an incredible singer, check him out doing Sign of the Times, he plays multiple instruments and he isn’t human when it comes to the noises he makes, he’s my favourite.
Mitch Grassi is the guy who is singing really high in this, as you get further into the rabbit ho,e you’ll soon realise that he has gone through a complete transformation with his appearance, he is incredible and can sing higher than Kirstin.
Scott is a bit of a chameleon, his range spans 5 octaves and I have heard vocal coach reactors refer to him as a true baritone.
If you want to be mesmerised even more watch “white winter hymnal”, “the sugarplum fairy”, and if you want to see Kevin being an absolute explosion watch them do Blinding Lights by the Weeknd, it’s a fairly recent one right at the start of lockdown.
If you want to see some awesome video work, look at anything they’ve done in 2020, all done in lockdown, in their own houses, filmed by themselves then stitched together by the guy that put the daft punk video together. Particularly look for their Home Medley, there are about 25 songs with Home in the titles.
And now they’re starting to do new stuff that they have written, look at Be My Eyes written by Kirsten, and Happy Now written by Scott but it’s about Mitches personal journey.
Did you react to Pentatonix Hallelujah? Did it get blocked? I don’t see it. 🙁 would love to see it if it didn’t get blocked.
Most likely it was blocked lol
Yeah it got blocked. So did Bohemian Rhapsody. 🙁🙁
Kevin is the beatboxer {black dude} He ate a complete drum set and you have to check him out in his own channel KO {his initials} song, Down. He plays sax, cello and sings as well! He is multi talented and went to med. school. and the rest are multi talented as well! They have some killer ranges! Thanks for the reaction. Subbed for more PTX!
To hear the beat boxer sing super clearly check out Kevin Olusola Sign of the times (Harry Styles Cover)
I KNEW you would fall apart on this one hahaha!! You are so high energy. :)
Their original, Love Again, also uses the futuristic, robotic type voice- sounds also.
"This song a bop no matter who does it" I can assure you that my version would most definitely NOT be a bop!
Yeah same 😂😂
Basically every remix I've heard has sounded good tho.
If you wanna react to their older songs, you can react to Valentine, La La Latch, Aha!, Rather Be, Cheerleader, Carol of the Bells and others. If you wanna react to their newer songs, you can react to Come Along, Can you Feel the Love Tonight, Waving through the Window, Shallow, Happy Now, Mad World, the whole of Home album and the whole of We Need a Little Christmas album and their newest song, The Lucky Ones. (basically MOST of them lmaooo)
Please don't attack me cuz these songs are just my personal favourites and I will definitely recommend to react.
A side note, their album is coming out really soon so you can purchase it. It's super fantastic and overall, their covers are really fking fantastic and in my darkest days, their music really cheers me up and I wanna thank them for that.
With their talent, they really deserve so much, much more, but I don't think the majority of the world would appreciate acapella music so I'm really trying my best to support them and buying their albums. It's so cool to see more and more people reacting to Pentatonix this month it's actually shocking...
One of the songs that nicely display the contrast between Mitch's high vocal tone and Avi's low vocal tone would be their original "Love Again"
Couple more songs you should totally check out would be "Hallelujah", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Wizard of Ahhs" and prolly any of the Evolution of medleys
Oh, and if you wanna see more of Avi (the former bass of the group), check out some of his stuff like "Change on the Rise" or even the pretty amazing rendition by Home Free of "The Ring of Fire"
Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody were blocked but I'll get to the others and hopefully get them posted!
Way......lol Learn to appreciate the talent and the people behind that talent. ;) Avi Kaplan' s(pronounced Ahhhhh Vee) bass and Kevin Olusola's beat boxing (he also plays the cello) will do you in every time. When this band first came together on a singing competition called the sing off (they won btw) one of the judges named Avi and Kevin the "meat and potatoes" of the group. They were best buddies and roommates. This video was made in the closet and kitchen of Avi and Kevin's apartment for about $400. It was also their first Grammy win. They have 3 Grammy wins and all 3 were when Avi was with the band. He was with them for more than 6 years and left on good terms. He helped them find his replacement Matt Sallee and he has gone on to have a solo career. The male blond (Scott Hoying aka the angel), Mitch Grassi (high school musical guy)and Kirsten Maldonado (the avatar) grew up together in Texas. Please watch the older videos, both covers and originals, first so you can see their humble beginnings and really appreciate how they got where they are. They are a family and though each is so different, when they come together its pure magic. thanks for the reaction. priceless. The Pentaholics(PTX fans) are the best.
I think you left your jaw on the floor! 😂
I laughed out loud when you disappeared from the shot. Yeah the break down it insane!
They won their first Grammy for this
They deserve it.
if you think the bass is god react to Pentatonix "dance of the sugar plum fairy"
On the list!
It is their mouths, no electronics in this song.
lol...yeah, welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Okay, so the dude with the braids is Avi Kaplan (normally just long dark hair and beard) - was the bass until mid-2017 (well, actually, September I think). He has gone solo now and has a different sound, and plays guitar and a few other instruments. You you may like his Change on the Rise. Personally, I love all his music. Matt replaced him and was in Sound of Silence, and is in their music since end of 2017. Kevin (or, KO) is the beatboxer, who also can sing and play cello. Mitch is the one with angelic voice. Scott has the blonde hair and has a great range. Kirsten (Kirstie, rhymes with thirsty), has the blue hair here. She likes to change her look a lot and Mitch does as well. Also, they won their first Grammy for this song/video (first of three grammies). I'm sure others will tell you how they made this. :)
It’s only their mouths. I’ve heard this live. It’s amazing.
The beat boxing is done by Kevin, (the guy in the glasses), the wind/air sound is made by Avi, the bass, as well as providing pumping bass beats. :) then there’s Mitch, Scott, Kirstie, who are providing the main vocals.
It's all made with their mouths! Avi & Kevin together make a sick rhythm section
Yeah... it’s a lot to take in. Lol... Enjoy the ride. 🤗
So the sideways singing with Kristin, she was born with a cleft lip and pallet, she’s had multiple operations to rebuild the roof of her mouth and plastic surgery on her lip. She is a mezzo soprano and considering how brilliant she is, she’s actually a miracle of nature.
Great reaction. Just subscribed. Pentatonix has so many tunes that'll blow you away. A few originals: HAPPY NOW, THANK YOU, SING, BE MY EYES. Some great covers include BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, CHEERLEADER, EVOLUTION OF MICHAEL JACKSON, IMAGINE, and many more. Thanks
Thanks for the sub! I've got a lot more stuff from them on the to do list!
You should check out:
home free -ring of fire
Voiceplay- can't help falling in love
They are 2 other acapella groups which are amazing.
Voiceplay is awesome as well, another entire rabbit hole awaits
@@maryknight3405 i love all 3 groups but voiceplay is my favorite group
I'm gonna need to quit my job just to watch all these videos lol
PLEASE check out Pentatonix Daft Punk Off Mic Private Performance now! It’s in a dressing room on an iPhone and they sound exactly the same! It’s fun to be able to see them replicate it live
On the list!
Their first Grammy.
A I, bottom left is bass & also wind sound. There’s a live version of this online if you search- a make a wish wish.
The beatboxer (Kevin) is a genius. He plays the cello and beatboxes at the same time, too. Welcome to a great big world of mind-blow!!!! Their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is jaw-droppingly amazing. Enjoy. Yes. it's all just their mouths! P.S. This "Daft Punk Medley" won a Grammy. No wonder.
Mitch is a counter tenor
Great reaction! You mentioned Trolls... You should check out Home Free singing "Can't Stop the Feeling"
Thank you. And I got it on the list to check out!
All five are singing at all times. The low beats and wind is Avi, the bass. I've seen this live four or five times, including a private performance. It's all them.
Do not pick a favorite after only watching three of their videos. There are soooo many, and Bohemian Rhapsody will truly give you an eargasim.
Yeah Bohemian Rhapsody was crazy. I reacted to it but it got blocked.
@@WhatTheBlastt To help from getting blocked find or make your own pattern that has a transparent background, and put that pattern over the video. Or create a text layer with like 3 or 4 lines of text; line 1: "Pentatonix", line 2: Name of the song, line 3: "Cover" if its a cover or "Orignal", line 4: Name of original artist if its a cover.
You should check out "Love Again", it is a PTX original.
Got it on the list!
There is a video recorded with a phone of them doing this backstage with fans before a show. You could tell that they can do it live even with that recording. They do not put anything out from the studio that they cannot replicate live.
You came up with an image for everyone except Scott, he's a midget, frost giant!😁
😅😅
