THIS IS WHY PTX IS THE NUMBER ONE ACAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD🌎
🎵🎙🎶
Amazing Grace is another one that'll leave you breathless!
The new guy is Matt. The former bass was Avi, the fellow with the beard and hat in "Hallelujah ". Three titles to definitely check out, "Imgine", "Amazing Grace ", Daft Punk".
Jane H commenting …. I love this sung as a duet by Andrea Bocelli with Celine Dion. Pentatonix are a favourite of mine, but I haven’t heard them sing this & it’s amazing. Thanks for sharing this with us, & your great Reaction.
I think you would really appreciate their version of Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone. This is the contemporary version of Amazing Grace and is outstanding. Each person in the group has their moment. It will also move you very much. Thank you for your comments. I predict you will fast become a Pentaholic, as PTX fans call themselves.
My mind insists, absolutely insists, that I hear an entire orchestra playing while they are singing.
I know there is not. But I still hear it.
watch their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine.." I cry every time!
The black guy you just noticed is Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable). Matt is a lyric bass. He joined in late 2017 as Avi's replacement. In addition to being the newest member of Pentatonix Matt is also the youngest member, and I'm told that bass voices improve with age. So it's hard to be certain just what Matt's range is because it's still growing. You've already seen the official video of "Hallelujah," with Avi singing the second verse, right? Well I recommend listening to a live feed of "Hallelujah" from their recent world tour. Matt's arrangement of the second verse is different from Avi's, and seems to have been designed to show off his full range. You can find that here: czcams.com/video/ASYzLoi810k/video.html
Matt is also the lead in "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," and has a beautiful solo in "Sound Of Silence." His voice makes me think of snuggling under a soft, warm blanket, with a purring cat and some really good chocolate.
Celine Dion's part in "The Prayer" is smack in the middle of the sweet spot for Mitch's voice. And poor Scott. Everyone in Pentatonix agrees that Scott is the member who's most likely to forget the lyrics, so don't you know that his voice would be the perfect one for singing Andrea Bocelli's part in this song? No, Scott doesn't speak Italian; he had to memorize this by rote, and he worked very hard to get the pronunciation right. I'm told that he succeeded, though he does have a strong American accent, which was predictable.
I don't know how much Pentatonix pays their set designers, but however much it is it isn't enough. This set is spectacular!
THEY BROUGHT A BEAUTIFUL SMILE TO YOU...I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE DISCOVERING PENTATONIX
Sound of Silence by Pentatonix is lovely too
Also is a great intro to "the new guy", Matt.
Oh, you need to watch their original song: Sing! So much fun… and definitely happy ear candy. Also a love letter to their fans.
"The Prayer" was one of the songs released on _"Evergreen,"_ Pentatonix's 2021 Christmas album. If you're only encountering Matt now that means that you haven't watched any video Pentatonix has published in the last five years - Matt is coming up on the sixth anniversary of his membership later this year. In other words, he has now been with Pentatonix almost as long as Avi's total tenure with the band.
It'll be easier if you just remember that they are all alien unicorns! Amazing Grace, Imagine & Mad World will touch your soul as well, & then we'll get you into their originals! The Prayer was on their Evergreen Christmas album (nominated for a Grammy) & there's a short documentary from them recording that album & trust me, it doesn't take away any of the magic by seeing how they do what they do!
Agree. Show this to us. Making Evergreen by PTX. It’s great
I also agree. I think you'd LOVE seeing what their process is and the end result of their collaboration together. @@bonnieflynn4798
You'd very likely enjoy their behind scenes video "The Making of Evergreen" - it still doesn't make sense, but you get to watch pieces come together
This is from their Christmas album, thats why the winter scene
The new guy is the new bass singer, it's Matt Salee. He joint PTX after Avi Kaplan, the original bass, left mid 2017. In the end of 2017 Matt joined the group.
That is also the only change. Especially Kirstin (or Kirstie) and Mitch are our PTX chameleons, but is always them. Same goes for Kevin and Scott.
You might love to see another side of PTX, so I would say take Daft Punk (a medley), Sing (original), Can't Hold Us (well, you'll see 😉)
Greetings from Germany
Edit this time forgotten words 🙈
After hearing your final comments, you definitely should react to “Pentatonix - The Recording Of Evergreen”. It shows some of the magic in making their Grammy nominated Evergreen album.
You are four songs into their catalog of over 200, so there is no hurry to watch the behind the scenes videos. I understand what you mean when you say you are afraid it will ruin the excitement, so take your time! I had watched quite a few videos before I even knew there were behind the scene videos, but I can tell you that it made my admiration for them even stronger when I saw how they worked together, No rush...enjoy your journey and let that excitement and awe continue for as long as you like!!!
Hi, Kings003! As I understand it, their current bass singer Matt (the tall black guy with short-cut hair) is classified as a lyrical bass, while their original bass singer Avi (short white guy with brown beard in "Hallelujah') is known as a basso profundo (meaning profoundly-deep voice.) Both guys are great singers, just in slightly different ways. Matt has wonderful solos in Pentatonix's official videos of "The Sound of Silence" and "Amazing Grace / My Chains Are Gone."
That latter performance is especially moving with the inclusion of the "My Chains Are Gone" chorus, which was written by musician Chris Tomlin a few years ago for a biographical movie about John Newton, "Amazing Grace"'s composer. The video is performed in an outdoor chapel in California and is just breathtaking.
PTX's "The Sound of Silence" is gorgeous, as well; where Simon & Garfunkel sang it in a melancholy tone, and Disturbed sings it with a mixture of sadness and anger, the PTX version is actually uplifting!
Such a wonderful reaction. I really think this cover is a masterpiece! There are other great acapella groups, but Pentatonix has its own lane where they completely dominate. They never let me down! I suggest you watch the “90’s Dance Medley,” “Sound of Silence,” “New Rules/Are You That Somebody,” “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch,” and/or “Attention” to get a really good intro to Matt Sallee who replaced Avi Kaplan in 2017 when Avi went solo.
❤❤❤ perfectly said
Loved your reaction. Listen to Amazing Grace, The Wizard of Ahhhs by Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix. Any of their evolution videos are amazing. Also, Can’t Hold Us. Enjoy the ride!
Try 90's Dance Medley for something a little different - so much fun! Imagine, the original video, will show you their hearts and souls.
The new O Holy night and Kiss from a rose you can really appreciate Matt, the "new" base with a voice like chocolate melting in your mouth . PLEASE REACT TO THAT.
GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA
I would recommend "The Making of Evergreen". Its a documentary on how they recorded their Evergreen Christmas album. I think you would enjoy seeing the process.
I agree to this. Play it for us and you will be amazed again
The album this is from was nominated for an Emmy last year. The album is “Evergreen”.
I think the words you are lookin for is touched by God. There is nowhere else this level of talent could come from.
Their Amazing Grace is phenominal too. Also, their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" requires a box of tissues. As others have said, Matt Sallee (the second black guy) replaced Avi Kaplan (the original bass). That is the only lineup change in 12 years. I always say, check the date of the video. If it's prior to 2018, the bass will be Avi Kaplan. If the video is 2018 or later, the bass will be Matt. The date you see on an original PTX video is the day it was uploaded.
I fully expect to hear these voices in heaven.
Yup, I had the same reaction the first time I saw it. Uhhh... and every other time I've watched it. 😍
They are magical. So many of their videos are unbelievable. They all are so very very talented and together they are 🤯
Arrrg, I keep thinking of more PTX videos that I think you'd like! (This could go on for days.) Their official video covers of "Amazing Grace," "Mary, Did You Know?," and John Lennon's "Imagine" all allow you to hear solos of beatboxer Kevin's sweet tenor voice. And for fun, bouncy goodness, try their official videos of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" (Matt sings lead in this) and "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" (from the Avi era.) They also rap like nobody's business in their cover of "The Ceiling Can't Hold Us."
Okay, I'll shut up now. ;D
🎼The Prayer was part of their 2021 holiday album 🎶Evergreen which has a mix of both original songs and and classical covers. PTX released 🎹The Recording of Evergreen with some great insights of what goes into creating the processes behind the concept/recording etc.~ czcams.com/video/M60SKKkQLqo/video.html BTW have really loved your reactions and look forward to see many more!
React to the Sound of Silence to hear Matt"s beautiful voice.
This video has a couple of surprises in it. The first comes right at the beginning: The Prayer was originally performed as a duet between Celine Dion and Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. Because Pentatonix has a great female singer (Kirstin Maldonado), people familiar with the original probably expect Kirstin to be singing lead on this song. Surprise! Mitch comes out and absolutely kills the lead for the entire song, singing Celine's part without dropping a beat. Scott sings Andrea's part (hence starting his part out in Italian). Kirstin's big part comes closer to the end, when she and Mitch do a call-and-echo, with Kirstin only hitting a couple of notes higher than Mitch.
Surprise #2 actually comes even sooner than #1: this song, unlike the vast majority of PTX tracks, actually uses multi-tracking (aka over-dubbing, aka layering) of the voices to get a fuller sound for the more "choral" parts of the song. That's not something PTX normally does, but they apparently decided this song needed it.
If you'd like to hear them perform the song without the layering, here's a link to a live performance on The Morning Show: czcams.com/video/i5xMpjBLLuc/video.html
i'm sure you've gotten a lot of requests already for their mash-up of New Rules and Are You That Somebody, but it's one of my faves & i think really showcases Matt & Kevin's bass / beatboxing chemistry :)
big hugs from chicago!! you're lovely :)
The new guy took over avi who left. Pleasereact tope tatonix the sound of silence. New rules. Sing.amazing grace. Love again. Imagine
Perfection 🤌🏾
You might enjoy seeing some live performances. The September 2022 Hollywood Bowl concert was recorded by a talented amateur who posted many of the songs here on CZcams. ETA: Jacob Resituto here on CZcams has interviews with Ed Boyer, their mixing engineer, and Ben Bram, their arranger, sometime producer, and long-time collaborator (I think he interviewed Ben twice).
Pentatonix have been together for over 12 years having met in college.
It is easy for him to hit those high notes because he has a naturally high pitched voice. He is a counter-tenor.
I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl last year, and I'll be seeing them again in Irvine in about 3 weeks. If you get the chance, you should definitely see them live. (And I'll be going with my 82 year old landlord for the second time. Once I introduced her to PTX, she was (and still is) the driving force for us going to see them in concert lol).
💗💗💗 *They are individually so talented, however, when put together, it is truly magical* 💗💗💗
💝 *There is something so special about a group, that can make you feel every lyric in a song, & is truly their gift* 💝
Matt replaced Avi in 2017 I believe when Avi wanted to do his own thing as a solo and reduce the constant hectic performance life. He is doing beautiful work. The arranging is different as their voices are different. Avi is a basso profundo with a lovely soar into baritone and low tenor. Matt is a lyrical bass with extraordinary upper range. Two fab bass singers. They use both men to perfection. You can hear Matt in several videos but you get Matt full on with his showmanship on display in You’re a Mean One Mr Grinch. .. the live performance is pure art.
Not everyone's journey is the same, no two roads are the same but I believe, all our roads, lead us to the same destination but it's the way we get there is what matters
Yes, the full title is “Pentatonix - The Recording Of Evergreen”. Great video.
This was an extraordinay rendition of this son first performed by Celine Deion and Andrea Bocelli. It was ON a grammy nominated album(Should've won) ! You ARE A WONDEFUL REACTOR WHOSE LOVE OF MUSIC IS EASILY. gET READY TO HAVE YOOUR MIND BLOWN JUST ABOT EVERYTIM YOU HEAR THEM. yPU CAN HEAR THIS LIVE ON THIER ihEAR cHRISTMAS SPECIAL.
I so enjoyed this! I agree that some things can't be explained or proven, but still can be known. I greatly enjoy watching these reactions because of the experiences people have. The majority of them do not have adequate words to describe what they experienced from the video. Most at least hint at some type of spiritual feeling. 😊
Amazing Grace
They often do background tracks to augment the sound. It is all them, tho. They have almost always double recorded Mitch and Kirstie. But even without that, they have a full, rich sound.
And the angels sang...
I would thoroughly recommend watching "The Beginners Guide to Pentatonix". It is NOT a "Behind the Scenes" video, it is just snippets of songs each member in turn sang as solo to introduce that member. It then goes through the history of the group up to the date it was made (a few years ago now) including Avi announcing his leaving and Matt arriving.
I recommend watching PTX's "Behind the scenes" and "Making of" videos whenever they're available, though not until after you've heard the songs. There's a wonderful "Behind the Scenes" video for "Bohemian Rhapsody," for instance, and the reason I know about Scott memorizing the Italian words for "The Prayer" by rote is that I saw him working on it in "The Making of Evergreen." It doesn't destroy the magic to see the kind of work and thought Pentatonix puts into their videos, any more than understanding refraction makes a rainbow less beautiful. These videos serve to bring us closer to the band and make their music feel more personal.
You are absolutely correct in your observation about the production. I have watched a couple of the "making of..." videos, and while they were interesting from a technical standpoint, it was like finding how an impressive magic trick was done. It eliminated the wonder and majesty of the performance. I truly enjoyed your reaction and analysis and have already subscribed. Welcome and I hope you continue for a long time!
Love your reactions to PTX. Also love your life attitude. I think they are all wonderful people too. I don't think you would be disappointed if you met them or saw them live.
Your reactions are very touching and insightful. Thank you and please react to Prayers for this World and Creep from the Masked Singer (unmasked version). Two totally different genres, but both awesome.
You might like the video "The recording of Evergreen' to see how Pentatonix' music is produced. It's v e r y good.
Love your reactions.
Welcome to the crazy world of PTX.
Coukd you please react to their covers of.......
IMAGINE
MARY DID YOU KNOW
CAN'T HOLD US
DAFT PUNK MEDLEY
And their cover with JASON DERULO called IF I EVER FALL IN LOVE
The black guy is Kevin and he's the beatboxer and tenor. The other black guy is Matt a bass singer
Recommend their cover of I Just Called To Say I Love You.
Meant to add, if you've not heard "What a Wonderful World" sung by the timeless musician Louis Armstrong, I think you'd love reacting to it. Armstrong's signature gravelly voice and gorgeous smile are a perfect compliment to this simple yet classic song of thanks for small blessings.
❣❣❣❣❣
You just got "Mitch slapped"...
Please react to Amazing Grace/My Chains are Broken. It’s amazing.
They truly are either aliens or unicorns. My vote is for aliens.
They are Aliens now that Scott has his solo, "Mars" released last September for his birthday. His album is out now.
I know what you mean by it doesn't make sense, but watch a couple live shows and you will have no other option but believe.
It's ok there's no shame in hiding it if PTX makes u feel like balling ur eyes out cuz quite a few of their songs make ppl ball even if u least expect it. When it comes to their earlier videos ppl tend to call them Baby Tonix cuz it's from early in their careers.
Oh a dead giveaway to prepare urself for when Kirstie or Mitch is about to belt so that ur not surprised or get what they call "Mitch Slapped" is both tend to crack a smile especially Kirstie b4 she's about to belt & destroy u.
They've got quite a few powerhouse ballads & anthem type song's that'll leave u dancing, singing, crying, more crying & not wanting the fun to end.
You should react to Mary did you know by Pentatonix- it is the best one yet
Nice job
Matt Sallee (the other black guy) has been there since 2017. Where have you been?
Those arms, though...
They are just unicorns doing unicorn things....
I am not sure there are words in any language any more that can adequately describe what they do....
Matt Sallee...
