Who should I react to next? And just for you: ‘Sing Better Instantly" my FREE Singing Course: skl.sh/3aHdSuy
Kishi Bashi - I am the Antichrist to you? (No one has done one yet!) Not just for the vocals but the live one with the Nu Deco Ensamble is beautifully well made and underheard!
Please do another Annie Moses band reaction or could you post the one you did here?
Angelina jordan .
Lol that was end of song rest is them talking about tour dates albums etc
You were talking about the colors in their voices, which are incredible. It made me think of a demo recorded by Angelina Jordan. Now she has tons of new live and studio recordings, her version of Suspicious Minds is incredible. I like the studio version best. This demo though, shows the most amazing jazzy colors in her voice. It's called: I'm Still Holding Out for You. There's also a video of her singing her two of her originals live in concert in Norway this summer, Seventh Heaven and Million Miles. Always love your reactions. Thank you. Emojis are not coming up for me, but you left the (shhhh) emoji.
Since Christmas is coming up, Matt's solo in You're a Mean One, Mister Grinch is fun, jazzy and highlight's his talent well.
100% also Scott does bass for the whole song
Yes! Matt’s voice was made for this song!
My thoughts exactly... lots of fun...
Matt will blow your socks off!
They just received notice that they have been nominated for a 4th Grammy Award for their 2021 Christmas album! And a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023! They are AMAZING! 💕
I miss Avi, but I love Matt. His voice is just angelic and beautiful.
Scott is a baritone with an insane range. Because Scott usualy has main lead singning tenor, people tend to forget his low range, who else covers the low base notes when Avi or Mat were singing lead. He does it so seemlesly that noone notices.
I was disappointed Maggie completely missed Scott taking over the bass line during Matt's solo.
I think you might got nuts on "Radioactive" with Lindsay Sterling. Kevin is AMAZING in it!! My favorite part of this song is when Matt does that smooth slide down on "and no one Dared" into "the sound of silence". That's saying a lot because every note from every member is pure perfection to my ears!! ❤ I find myself listening to this every time I see it pop up. Which is about once a week!! Luv ya Maggie!!🥰❤
Honestly speaking, it was thanks to their cover of "Radioactive" with Lindsay Stirling that I first learned of Pentatonix. I'd been a fan of Lindsay for quite a while before that, and that was the first time i'd ever learned of them, and was immediately BLOWN AWAY by how amazing it was.
One of their face melting originals that features Mitch and Avi is LOVE AGAIN! JUST DO IT! You're welcome!
I think of it has Kirstie voice has matured to its full potential. My voice teacher told me that many (not all) sopranos' voices don't reach their best quality until they are are approaching 30 - in this video, I think Kirstie is in her mid-late 20s so that makes sense. She has taken good care of her voice.
I thought no way anyone can beat the original version of this song, It is one of my all time favorites but they did it again . They dont do covers they do upgrades
Disturbed was way better
@@Hemi_the_BlackSheep No way.
Just FYI, Disturbed is not the original of this song. It’s a Simon & Garfunkel song from the 60’s or 70s.
@@TheMacerica correct i was talking about covers
@@Hemi_the_BlackSheep Apples to oranges. David Draiman had an orchestra behind him. Pentatonix is pure a cappella. Both were great but not really comparable.
50+ years on and it’s still one of the most powerful songs ever written.
Very true @Rick Taylor.
I haven’t seen anyone comment on the wicked high vocal that Mitch is pitching during Kirstie’s solo. Classic, epic.
I'm so glad you recognize Kevin, alot of people always forget him or don't give him enough credit.
I’m so happy you were able to see that you reacted a song that shows everyone’s talent. Matt is a great addition and this is such a good song to hear how well he works with the group. I get to see them in their opening show of their holiday tour this Thursday. I am over the moon excited and counting down the days. 🤫
Matt was such a great pick! He’s not only an outstanding vocalist but also combines so well with everyone. He’s a great live performer too!
Kirsten has grown the most of anyone in the group. Progressively even more since this video. She sings lower, because she found her sweet spot is lower. Her voice is far more resonant than the early days, and in a lot of songs she cleverly uses vibrato far more now. Even her stage posture (probably from a few months straight a few years ago performing daily on a Broadway stage) is totally different. From the early career performances where she was timid at worst, or just blending in at best, her stage presence from about 2018 on is shoulders back, head raised, and commanding.
Amen! 💖
This is my *personal* analysis, based on what I've seen in videos and interviews from the time - take it accordingly.
When Pentatonix went on _The Sing-Off,_ as far as Kirstie was concerned they were there to introduce the world to the wonder that is the voice of Mitch Grassi. I believe she thought of Pentatonix as "The Mitch Grassi Band" and herself as primarily there to support Mitch, and secondarily to support the others.
This began to change, I believe, in 2013 when Todrick Hall talked her into starring in _The Wizard of Ahhhs._ Make no mistake, she had to step out of her comfort zone to do that, because she truly was the star, not only playing Dorothy Gale, but also Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West Side. All the others were in the video with her, providing harmony and percussion and playing roles of their own, but Kirstie was the star. She was just two months past her 21st birthday when Todrick posted _The Wizard of Ahhhs_ to his CZcams channel.
Contemporaneous interviews with the men in the group show that they recognized this - they all said that watching Kirstie was the best part of filming _The Wizard of Ahhhs_ (except for Kevin, who said jokingly that he thought Toto was the true star - Kevin played Toto in the scenes set in Oz).
Then when Kirstin went to Broadway and got a major role in _Kinky Boots_ she began attracting attention and praise from people who *weren't* already personal friends (i.e. Pentatonix), and she just blossomed.
It took real courage for Kirstie to begin acting like *she* could be a star, but it paid off for her; now she *is* a star, and Pentatonix is stronger for her transformation.
And the moral (if we must have a moral)? When you find out what you're good at, run with it. Believe in yourself; become the best *you* that you can be. Both you and the world will be stronger for it.
@@margretrosenberg420 What a pedantic and pretentious opinion and as you can tell by the lack of response I'm not the only one who thinks so
This song is one of their top five songs. Scott is a natural baritone with the ability to go low enough to cover a bass line.
They have just been getting better and better. Love your reactions Maggie :)
It was obvious that Matt would be a great addition from the beginning. Before Pentatonix, he was in The House Jacks, where he had replaced Elliott Robinson. After Avi departed, they were in the comfortable situation that both, Elliott and Matt auditioned. Considering Elliott's extraordinary low range, which you can hear in Pitch Perfect 2 (Das Sound Machine) or The Bass Gang's cover of Mad World, deciding for Matt is a sign that they felt, he would match them perfectly. He obviously does.
I'm not completely done with the video yet, so idk if you notice this, but I love that Scott takes over the bass whenever Matt (or in the past, Avi) is singing lead. We love a versatile king.
If you listened to Hallelujah, you actually heard Scott singing even lower! He's the one who picked up the bass line when Avi sang the second verse. :D
😀 Amazing Grace will change your life🤫
My Heart With You for mellow, beautiful 5 part harmony. Warning, they start the second you push play.
We need more Pentatonix reactions from you. They're the best! "Mad World," "Shallow," and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" (since Christmas is right around the corner). Plus some more of their "Evolutions of..."
Scott does the bass in every song when Avi or Matt sings You can see it here
You want live? Check out "Ah ha" live at the Star Vista and be prepared for Mitch to blow you away.
You haven’t reacted to their version/upgrade of The Prayer yet? Love to get your reaction to Scott’s operatic venture.
They just released a new Christmas album called "Holidays Around the World". "Prayers for this World" from that album has a video, and I think you will find Kirstin's voice is a knock-out in that song. Also, the rest of the songs have visualizers, but "Love Came on Christmas" has an African vibe. It's my fave from the album. Thank you for reacting to this song. When this video first came out a reactor with musical training said the closed endings of the words(like a hug) was done on purpose to keep the impact of the words down, but as they continue to sing, those word endings open up.
When Christmas comes, you gotta hear Matt singing The Grinch. You will get a treat.
Miss Maggie! It is always a joy to watch your reactions. Lol. I grew up in the 50s and 60s, and have every song by S&G. PTX always brings their vocal magic to everything they do, and brings out the true meaning of every song. Thank you for doing this reaction!
Id love to hear them do some Doo Wop or 4 Seasons
So glad you mentioned Mitch's clear diction, it always stands out to me.
My goodness! What a beautiful bunch of people. Kristen - just wow! Scott, Matt - best jackets ever. Who’s their stylist? I so want Matt’s jacket. Lol
Kirsten has that fast vibrato. Very distinctive as she cuts through harmonies.
Check out their new Prayers for this World - it's awesome! And love the emoji - might steal it, lol.
Ha ha ha the old days. Too funny always pausing right before the end. Great reaction I always loved this one!
The Reason I love these reactions is we get to see Maggie's true face for however brief the moment is.
In the final chorus i kept catching myself holding my breath and noticing my heart racing. These guys just soar!
It still makes me cry. Fabulous
Kristen and Kevin are the stars of this one. When Matt sings you can hear Kristen doubling the verse, and their voices together make that part so good. Kevin is the engine that drives them, but he is incredible in this one.
Yes, you need to react to a live. They are not doing near as much "studio magic" as you think! Thanks for another fun reaction! 😁😁😎
Like you the modulation before Kirstin's solo is my favorite part of the song. Such a smooth key change into her comfortable range. Transcribing that moment was the first thing I did after listening to this one.
😅I absolutely love how you drink in the song. Your pause moments are well done and don’t feel intrusive like other reaction videos. Definitely a highlight to my day
I like the small bits of your singing voice that you display. Any plans for some complete songs?
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. Yes I have a few songs already on my channel and plan to do more. 😆
PTX are just so good - loved this!
A spectacular version of a great song. Loved your reaction/analysis.🤫
Love me some Maggie R and PTX!
Amazing grace will blow you away
People forget that Scott does always pick up the bass line (and did in Hallelujah) when Avi (or now Matt) sing solo choruses.
Mitch is one of the prettiest people ever. And his voice. OMG I wish I had an 8th of his voice. I'm a Wagner tenor but I WANT that Mitch sound in my voice too.
When they "wrap" their voices I always think it sounds "chocolatey". Like smooth and round and delicious. Haha
At 10:46 - I used to overlook it the first 100 times but now I can't stop hearing Kirstin's "Wha-HA-ha" every time :)
I didn't know the existence of this version of the sound of silence! 🤫
I think I missed the secret word😮💨 You did meet Matt before in the prayer and also Scott use to take over the bass when Avi would sing.
Truely a wondrful artist you are. The way you appreciate and praise each member here. You have such a BEAUTIFUL soul. ❤ They really one of a kind... Pentatonix ♥️
I have loved Pentatonix since they were on the Sing Off!! They are amazing 👏 😍 ❤️ 🤫 great reaction!!
Kirsten in amazing grace, and my favourite things! is amazing! They all are of course!
Joyful joyful is an amazing one to watch! Live! Its so much fun! 😊😊
🤫Excellent performance of a beautiful song. Pentatonix did an amazing job. Nice thing about watching and enjoying a Maggie Renee reaction, is I always go back and watch my favorite react again. Home Free Butt's Medley.
Uhh Maggie this is truly one of my favorite songs all time. Never thought there will be an other version, who is gorgeous like the original! Disturbed did great, as they are coming from Germany like me. But this one is so awesome, it easy makes it to the top for me.
Loved your reaction as always, it's one of my hilights for the day... if the notification tells me new video from Maggie 😍.
This opening shows clearly that when Matt or Avi has the lead, Scott can handle bass pretty darned well.
There is an old christmas special of them doing Hallelujah where Scott covers the bass while Avi sings
I loved this reaction. Watched your hallelujah reaction months ago. Glad I came back across you so I could subscribe. 🤫
Welcome!! 👀👍💟 Hope to see you on my livestream in 2 hours! 🎶
She could be a developing rockstar lover even with her extensive classical background
🤪🤘
Love the repost!
Scott and Mitch were on the TV show “Bones”. They killed
I'd love to see your reaction to Pentatonix ft. Ateez - A Little Space, this was such a big leap of faith for both groups, to not only sing but also combining English and Korean into one cohesive song has got to be daunting, and i think they did a wonderful job, and its one of my favorite songs
In these climax moments, you hear Matt doing bass sounds. You hear Kevin doing his thing. Then Mitch, Kirsten, and Scott. Who grew up together. Went to the same school. Went to the same college. LIFELONG FRIENDS. That is what this group is all about.
I truly don't think Scott is given the credit he deserves as a back up bass! I think he kills it!!
Some good Christmas PTX songs to listen to
You’re a mean one Mr Grinch
Santa is Coming to town
MAry did you know
Little Drummer Boy
You should do the Hollywood bowl version of "Daft Punk"
Bonjour / Hello I teach French as a second language here in Québec and when I saw your « thought » « listen to Mitch’s clear diction » , well this is what I looooooooove about him. Of course, the voice, that’s a given but the diction is absolument extraordinaire !
You r reaction is absolutely fantastic to watch.
Simon & Garfunkel did this first. Beautiful song & one of my favorites! Lyrics & harmonies! ❤
This is MY FAVORITE version of Sound of Silence ever!
Two of my favorites of theirs is The Prayer and Amazing Grace. You will be blown away
🤫. I love your reactions. Never commented before. You are a lovely young woman and I’m a fan. I’ve gone down the Maggie rabbit hole. Lol
I will give you the challenge I always make: go through the PTX discography, pick a song you absolutely dislike/hate, and pick on that you believe the original version cannot be done any better, list and react to both. After that you will be a true Pentaholic. Oh by the way, live version vs studio version is almost indistinguishable. They do not recond anything they cannot do live with no mikes in a small room.
Scott's first solo is in his lower range. Towards the end he hits you with his middle range. Wait until Matt hits his low note. Matt also worked very hard to learn all of Avi's parts for the earlier songs.
One worth a watch is their live performance of Aha, its on a phone but showcases Mitch's incredible voice and how they all perform live - so good
I also think you'd enjoy their rendition of The Prayer, since it is more classical in nature.
Hope you’re having a amazing day!
There's 2 years between when Hallelujah came out and this song. All of the singers have grown and improved.
Going to go see them this weekend! Absolutely love this arrangement and can't wait to see them
This I the first video I have seen of yours and I now have to watch a few others you have mentioned. Pentatonic, in my opinion, is the BEST harmonizing group ever. Your facial expressions are like mine EVERY time I listen to them. 🤫
Love your reactions! 🤫
I think Kevin has matched his beatbox style is soooo on point.
If you want an excellent live performance to react to, I recommend watching “Joyful, Joyful” live from the Evergreen Experience which was their Christmas Tour last year. It is them performing in the last 12 months and will blow you away!
You need to hear them live. It's the same!
My reaction would only amount to: Wow, these guys are great. But you're an expert so you can evaluate them musically.
I love the Disturbed version and the original as well, but this is pretty sweet! Peace, Love!! Pentatonix has an awesome Christmas catalog!
Love each one & together? Perfect example of how "The whole can be far greater than the sum of it's parts" 😍
Kevin though... So GOOD. Did you know he's ALSO a beautiful Classical Cellist? AND Saxophonist. AND Pianist. Is a Songwriter AND speaks several languages. Was well on the way toward getting a Medical Degree, before deciding to prioritise his music. Kevin has a really lovely Tenor voice, that we don't hear enough of. Not because of his vocal quality - but because the group is so reliant on his exceptional Beat Boxer skills. He, like a number of other PTX members has also branched out here and there to solo work.
As for Mitch, this is a 'stop you in your tracks' 1 in 7 billion voice - a unique instrument.
* PLEASE see his solo Billie Eilish cover of 'Your Power' - 'tis stunning. 😀
Thanks for your lovely comment! Hope you will be on my Live Stream in about 1 hour?
You must have forgotten, you have heard Scott’s magnificent baritone before in The Prayer. By the way, that album, Evergreen, has been nominated for best album Grammy!
Edited to add, it’s December now and PTX has six Christmas albums. Mary Did You Know, Silent Night (incredible arrangement), The First Noel, Little Drummer Boy and dozens and dozens and dozens more!
Would love to hear your reaction to "Come Along" by Pentatonix. It's a short, quirky song which is loaded with nuance that someone musically trained will latched on to. The original composer is British up-and-comer Cosmo Sheldrake. iPhone used Cosmo's song in their XR commercial which featured an army of parkour free runners dressed in colored jumpsuits to illustrate a "color flood." Pentatonix grabbed it, put their spin on it, and did their video dressed in super colorful outfits in a nod to the XR commercial.
Scott got even lower in Hallelujah. He was singing the bass part while Avi was singing the lead.
Great post…..they definitely Bwaaaah’d it!
Ooh ma chessemuiffins! LOL Love this girl ... and all her faces
best cover of the Simon and Garfunkel classic I've ever heard
Maggie: as much as you love Sound of Silence, you should personally check out Incanto Quartet’s version. It absolutely blew me away, and I freakin love Pentatonix!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman is another great one with Avi. PLEASE DO
"Ok, Scott". Im dying
Also with the Holidays coming up, try Pentatonix "Little Drummer Boy" Kevins beatboxing he's the lead on that one
i think the first time the did that entrance with mitch was on their dog days of summer performance from the sing off
Love this version 🤫
I think you'd love their 90's medley or Daft Punk medley. Really shows off their talent.
