One of the best versions ever made of this iconic song -- stunning, powerful, emotional, engaging, creative, beautiful. Pentatonix hits different -- hope you all enjoy ❤ Also PSA this is the last PTX analysis I did back in August before learning how to properly pronounce Kirstin's name so apologies for that -- I actually pronounce it correctly twice and incorrectly twice in this video so who knows what my brain was doing. Anyway, many of you have pointed that out to me, and this will be the last one where it's ~occasionally~ not correct. Much love 🙏
You should react to the Oogie Boogie Song Acapella cover by VoicePlay you're very welcome ;)
FYI: it's Kirsten, not Kristen, as in kEARsten
(Love your personality. Keep up the great work.)
Check out Pentatonix Mary Did You Know, you will love it 👍
You should really watch their "No" cover from Meaghan Trainor. It's one of Avi's best bass performance ever with some very loooooooong low notes.
As a bass singer, please tell me you have heard of Tim Storms. Please please please please look up Tim Storms - Lonesome Road.
I personally LOVE hearing you talk. Hell, you can read the damn phonebook and I'll be happy. Also I appreciate your breakdown and analyses. Take your sweet time.
I KNOOOOW! He said three words in the first second and I had to pause the video and ask myself why I haven't heard of him yet...
@@mosesnyateko4564 Exactly!
Yes!
Exactly, he has a lovely speaking voice!
I agree. I've listened to dozens of reactors but I've never come across your channel until now. The second you began talking, there was no doubt that you are a singer! Beautiful speaking voice and I'm sure an equally beautiful singing voice! Love your discussion of the music, too.
I've found that what sets Pentatonix aside from other acapella groups is their ability to make their sound feel very organic in a way I don't think a lot of groups attain. I listen to a lot of music genres but acapella is my main, and in my listening experience I have found that the more human-sounding groups tend to be missing something and the more exaggerated sounding groups also tend to lack a certain humanity and realness to them, both things I think Pentatonix figured out and manage to bridge the gap beautifully on - That paired with the phenomenal talent, skill, hard work, and polished refinement each individual singer has, puts them on another level of music within the genre.
Well said.
REACT TO YOU’RE A MEAN ONE MR GRINCH! Matt sings solo the entire time, and Scott does bass throughout the entire thing!
Mitch Grassi does more with the word ‘lamp’ than most singers can do with a whole damn verse. My god, he’s just such a master storyteller through song.
We never lost the bass line when Matt was doing the solo. Scott took it over.
Thank you for showing Matt some love. 2 different singers, and they both brought a great deal to the group.
Great reaction. I love how you pic it down in pieces and explayning.
Pentatonix doesnt do covers. They do upgrades 💙
Yesssssss
You were speaking about how Matt has done such an exceptional job filling Avi's shoes.
I recently saw a live performance of hallelujah with Matt. It was so wonderful. He did an amazing job of singing his section of that song. He did not try to copy or be another Avi. It was more of a celebration of HIS unique abilities.
He took it a completely different direction. He went high with it.
I know you are super busy with your career. But if you could find some time to get back to pentatonix. I so love your reactions and the breakdown of the video/song.
Thank you for such an enjoyable and informative video.
And as always... Hope and joy to you. Pass it on. =^;^=
There is a bass line on Matt's solo verse, it is covered by Scott. Scott always covers the bass line any time Avi or Matt has a solo line.
Matt is my favorite part of this. I love the richness is his voice and his vibrato is fire. Mitch’s voice is always butter, always perfect.
The beauty of Pentatonix is the 3 Mitch, Kirsten, Scott grew up together. Their voices matured together and the beauty is they flow together, intertwine. Always reminds me of how smoke like from blown out candles flow in and around each other. Also, Scott never out sings the others. He knows when to float in with everyone else. There is never any fighting for the “listen to me” spot when it’s not their turn. BUT, if you listen you can pick out each voice if you listen. Perfect. Always a smooth flow.
So true that Matt had big shoes to fill, and a passionate fan base to win over. It took some time for many of us to find room in our hearts to let him in, but I think he does a phenomenal job. Is it common for a bass range to deepen as singers get older? If so, is it probable that Matt will continue to extend the lower end of his range if he chooses to work on it? Love your detailed commentary and genuine appreciation for the skill of all PTX members. Always here for your reactions.
Yep male voices tend to lowers quite a bit when they get in their 30s. Look at geoff at around 2014, it sounds more of a baritone voice
Yes, the bass voice does tend to deepen and get darker as the singer gets older, especially if they continue singing and training. If they don't, eventually the muscles will atrophy like all muscles do with old age, and the voice will become much weaker and lose range on both ends
My dad was a bass all his life. He sang competitively and by the time he reached his 80’s he was a tenor.
You have to listen to their cover of Gold by Kiiara, live in a studio. Breathtaking, each and every one of them. Best Mitch performance ever !
But - just make sure you have heard the original first.... just to see how good PTX are with this cover.
@@taniareads8751 I agree.
I can’t understand why that video hasn’t more views?! It’s phenomenal especially Mitch, Kevin and Avi parts.
Your "emotional nards" comment nearly made me choke on my lunch. ROFLMAO! In any case, fantastic analysis as always. This song has always been so haunting and this version adds a driving emotional urgency to that already melancholic feel. From the arrangement to the performance, it's just exquisite in every way.
That made me chuckle too when he said it :P
I had the same reaction!😂
Same here, completely caught me off guard. Going to have to use that regularly.
I 100% agree! I, legit, just experienced utter humiliation, due to that lil gem of an adjective! 😬🤦♀️ I'm in the McDonald's parking lot right now, & just watched this vid, which was my first experience w/ this channel. I had JUST taken a sip of my iced coffee, when "Emotional nards" was mic dropped, which caused my coffee to go down the wrong 'pipe', because I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD! 😂🤣😂🤣 I could FEEL the people, in the neighboring car, staring at me, while I tried to compose myself. I was purposely not looking at them, due to my embarrassment, but I HAD to look when I heard 2 quick lil "beep beeps" of their horn. I looked next to me and saw 3 people, 2 men & 1 woman, with looks of worry & concern on their faces. The passenger rolled down his window & very kindly asked if I was choking & if I needed any help....... Oh, God, please just take me now! 🤦♀️ It was very nice of them to make sure I was OK, but I'm so embarrassed that I can literally FEEL how red my face is, & it's not from the coughing 😳 So, Peter, if you happen to read this message, I just wanna thank you for your very well made content/banter, the laughs, & helping to show, inadvertently, that there are still some truly KIND & COMPASSIONATE people left in the world. I'm definitely subbing & doing a deep dive into your past vids, when I get home later. I hope you, & everyone else, has a wonderful holiday, & I'm sorry for my novel length message! 🤣🤣
@Peter Barber
Just so you don't lose the suggestion, I'm gonna be a broken record and say I truly hope you do PTX's New Rules x Are You That Somebody mashup in the near future. The focus on Kevin and Matt producing the Timbaland beat just seems totally up the alley for what you do on this channel. Thanks for the enjoyment!
I agree. Love this arrangement and Kevin and Matt are insane.
I agree. In case you haven't see it Jacob Restituto just dropped a reaction to New Rules.
Agreed 🙌
Keep suggesting it because it’s one of my faaaaaaavorites
I must agree, PTX are the MASTERS of evoking lots of emotions in a song and also creating the real heart of the story of that song. I love Mitch's enunciation on the words and how he builds the emotions higher. And then Matt comes in with his rich voice and adding more punch to lead into Kirstie's role of taking it to the higher part of the song. Then Scott comes in again to push the last verse into overdrive and to the top of the song, or the top of the rollercoaster. And Kirstie's background is stunning and we get the height of Kevin's rhythm and percussion. Then they all come in together to draw you up into the heavens before they literally drop you back down to earth and the harmonies of that last "sound" doesn't quite let you go until they end in a soft and slow "silence". WOW !!! What a song. Love your analysis on this and hope to hear more from you on PTX songs.
love the analysis!
(missed Scott taking over the bass during Matts solo - he always covers bass when Avi/Matt sings the lead)
Yeah I was hoping he would notice it... Scott covers the bass really well.
And you missed the modulation before verse 4 of Kirstin. But apart from that - neat analysis!
Thank you. I've watched tons of Reacts/Reviews on this and everybody overlooks Scott's bass in verse 3. I was hoping this guy would throw and accolade his way being a bass singer, but alas.
@@helenat2446 they did tell it in one interview that they were double tracking for some of the recorded version (Like Halleluia, you can clearly hear Scott doing ouhh and ahhs with Kirstin and Mitch while he's replacing Avi, and here too you can here him doing other notes with the bass line he's should be singing! :p
I didn't see anyone else drop this comment yet, so I apologize if it's redundant but it's a point well worth making. Many of us consider there to be a sort of Holy Trinity of The Sound Of Silence:
S&G - the original artists, sung as a warning
Disturbd - anger/despair that the warning has been ignored
PTX - a return to the intricate harmonies & layering that is a reiteration of the warning along with a hopefulness that maybe it's not too late to pay attention and make changes.
As much as I enjoy watching laypeople get Mitch slapped and just general reactions, I most enjoy watching deep dives by people knowledgeable enough to break down the details and relatable enough to make it accessible for all levels. I miss the days of being able to play music at a serious level, and having this is almost the next best thing to being back on stage with an orchestra or nerding out with my other musician friends. There are a handful of really good reactors who give this kind of analysis and I really appreciate it.
I'm much closer to the layperson end of the music spectrum, but I absolutely agree with Beth Clarke- I love the deep dives, and I'll be looking for more. Thanks!
This is brilliant. The holy trinity.
I completely agree with you about the holy trinity. You explained it perfectly. I had never really thought of it in that way. But then I have been living under a rather large rock as I had never heard of PTX until a few days ago when a friend sent me a message with SOS by them. I was blown away! She knows I love acapella groups and SOS. We are both in our 60's and remember when S&G first put it out. I turned her on to Disturbd's version. She liked it too. Guess we're not too old to appreciate new takes on a
great song, huh?
Great talent comes in all age groups and in all genres of music! She
and I can both
appreciate them all!
Great video. Definitely agree that Matt’s talents are excellent, and he is doing such a great job, he’s a perfect fit for PTX
He’s so positive. Kevin calls Matt his little brother. In concert Matt and Kevin have a complicated cello/cello boxing routine. They have such an outstanding rapport, and they take advantage of it!
You know I’m always here for Matt praise. I’m a little protective of him because of how some “fans” can be.
I was just talking to a friend that I loved Avi but I feel like he held PTX a bit. Matt kind of helped them more versatile and really grow and soar I feel.
This was the first reaction/video of yours that I have watched and I absolutely LOVED IT. I hate when vocal coaches or singers sit back and watch the video and make a 4 min video into a 7min video because they essentially add in how much they just love what they are doing....you broke it down, analysed it and then enjoyed it. I LOVE THAT! You appreciate them properly! Will definitely be watching more videos :)
The second you started speaking I went 😳 always love a true bass voice ♥️
You absolutely must watch and react to Aha live in Singapore. Many would argue it’s Mitch’s best live performance to date, and starts with some gorgeous harmonies and low notes. Also note you don’t see Kevin in the video but he is there he’s just putting his cello away at the beginning then the camera focuses on Mitch after he comes in.
Yes! I love this one!
I agree. Sound quality isn't the greatest because it was recorded from a cell phone. And the owner clearly loves Mitch because the camera is zoomed in on him almost the whole time. But all that aside, it is a truly remarkable performance that really showcases Avi and Mitch!
He may not be ready for the Star Vista... but then again, who is ever ready for *THAT* Mitch slap?
I agree!
Agree with this 1000%. As a rule, I don't go to live events, but watching that made me decide an exception was in order. The intensity in the Singapore video is just absolutely riveting. PSA if you decide to watch it: Kevin is there to Scott's left. He's just missing at the very beginning because he was wrapping up his Cello/beatbox solo, but he slips in shortly after it starts and the camera never panned back to him.
You’ve got to hear Pentatonix’s Come Along. It’s fantastic!
My favorite bassline of any of Pentatonix's covers is from their version of Can You Feel The Love Tonight
Absolutely!
Yes! That bass line is so dynamic
That fifth verse is one of my favorite PTX moments in general, and that covered ‘a’ that Scott sings on “made” is absolutely my favorite moment from Scott. The first time I heard it, I thought, now there’s a singer who truly knows his own instrument. Love your reactions, man. Keep them coming.
I'm very much a layperson here. Much was made about the technique to get the sound, when I believe its the vocalization of the frustration in the actual meaning of the lyrics. Pentatonix never loses the meaning of a song. "The neon god they MADE!" Anger, frustration, being appalled at the idolatry of the wrong things. It's all there in those two words with the emphasis on the second.
"emotional Nards" :-) lol I'd love to see what you think of their Amazing Grace cover or Run To Me
You know the intensity is building when they do their key change.
You can see in this song not only has Scotts worked on his low range (he has been slowly increasing it over the years. or at least getting stronger and more natural in his already existing low range) but Kirsty has worked on her belting and her own low range. She is adding a lot more smokiness to her singing in newer songs.
As always I truly enjoyed your review and analysis. For me, Matt was a totally natural addition to the group and I found his voice and range phenomenal for the very first time with Mat there I don't miss Avi much at all. I think part of what you're seeing and reacting to with him is his professional classical training which I suspect you are already now aware of that. I hope you'll examine their cover of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Matt truly stands out in that from the virst note. But no matter what I'll be following you closely and enjoying your comments and reviews. Also, I find YOUR voice truly exceptional. Thank you!
You are a true musician and vocalist. There are so many “vocalists” doing reaction videos who couldn’t sing themselves out of a paper bag. You have a firm grasp of musical theory and vocal technique, and it’s refreshing to see!
Regarding Scott’s final solo: I don’t think he modified the vowel much. Instead, I think he sang the diphthong instead of keeping the soft pallet raised throughout. Normally, this will cause some extra strain as it constricts space, and I did hear this slightly for Scott, but he did a great job utilizing his nasal passages to resonate.
Subscribed. I listen to dozens of reactors, but most of them just say variations on "wow." and "how beautiful" and "I love Mitch." It's extremely pleasing to hear someone who is both knowledgeable and good at communicating that knowledge. :) So, for Pentatonix, you've done the holy trinity (SoS, Hallelujah and Daft Punk) and one modern one. Of the "must see" group you still need Bohemian Rhapsody - it's really incredible and Brian May gave it his nod of approval, which has to mean something.
The ENTIRE new album "The Lucky Ones" is spectacularly good. And the deluxe version has added five more songs that are just ... I can't. I've run out of superlatives. Even/especially the ones that don't have videos yet - just the visualizer, so you can concentrate on the sounds.
But really - while there's songs I like better than others, I've yet to hear a Pentatonix song that didn't make me say "wow" and "how beautiful" and "I love Mitch/Scott/Kirsten/Kevin/Avi/Matt." And then there's the side projects like Superfruit (Scott/Mitch) and solo albums by each member. One a week? Jesus. Even at one a day you'd have almost a year lined up. Have a good run at this rabbit hole. You'll like it. :)
I spit my drink when you said Pentatonix kicked you in the emotional nards! 😂🤣😂🤣love it.
And that's why I like you and have subscribed! Do I love the mind blowing reactions from those who are just discovering PTX - of course! But anyone can do that.. you explain so much and I love that even more ❤️
This song was my husband's favorite sadly we lost him to cancer. I listen to it in memory of a truely remarkable man😥
I’m so sorry for your loss - I hope this song can bring you some peace ♥️
@@PeterBarber thank you
Happily one of the 98%
I so appreciate your perspective man, different than anything I've seen.
I feel like Scott's deeper range has grown with time and that's explored more since Matt has come in, especially with Matt's high range. Like notably that was where he was during Matt's verse here I think. It's cool to me the freedom that gives to both of them.
Scott has been working on his range for years now (they all have which is kind of scary being they started with large ranges to begin with) plus male voices automatically get a little deeper as they age.
Yes, there are plenty of other reactors out there, but not many who have your knowledge and experience. Thank you for sharing both with us. Their cover of "Mad World" is astonishing.
While I miss Avi being in the group, I do like Matt's voice, and I like what Avi has been doing on his own. The harmonies are amazing in this song, and I love the moment where they sing in unison in that last verse.
Scott is so charismatic. I love what he does with his hands.
They sound as good, or better, when performing live 😊 SERIOUSLY!!!
Mitch has the most beautiful and pure voice I have ever heard
You have a unique perspective. A perspective that lends itself specifically to this genre...and you know what you're talking about. It's refreshing to get academic/knowledgable reactions, not just unsubstantiated opinions often limited by knowledge/experience. (Which is fine too, but this is more) You'll keep climbing with the subs if you keep doing what you're doing.
Pentatonix breaks me out in goosebumps from head to toe
6:15 "You can see me just melt when Mitch starts singing." You and me both, brother. You and me both. Since 2013. And it never stops.
Undeniably amazing! Mitch starts singing, and all my senses start melting, every time! ❤ He really is awesome!!
Thanks for a great reaction and analysis! 💖
I would love to hear your reaction and analysis of Pentatonix' version of Amazing Grace.
I must admit peter I believe hand on heart you are the best analysis/reaction CZcamsr I've came across, to a point where your breakdowns have helped me improve myself as im a bit of a noobie at the bass singing 😁
There's an Italian guy that reviewed 3 PTX songs (including this one, Amazing Grace and one other) that is also extremely knowledgeable, but if you're mono-lingual like me, you need to read the sub-titles. Happily, whoever did them did a really good job. He also pointed out a ton of things I wouldn't notice. I wish I could provide a link. (goes looking.... 10 minutes later - you'd be friggin' AMAZED at how many SoS reactions are out there...)
czcams.com/video/Poyadh0mIAQ/video.html
(edited because I originally said "Spanish" instead of "Italian.")
@@barbarabishop9362 yes, Roberto! He's Italian and he has done wonderful analysis on PTX.
And yes, there's English subtitles, but it's also a bonus to hear him speak his beautiful language. "Profundo y rotundo!" 🙂
While reactions are cool, it's your analysis I really enjoy.
I get chills every time I hear them sing this song. AMAZING!
I'm not crying, you are.
When you have time you should react to Pentatonix's new cover that dropped a couple days ago of "The Prayer"
I love it when Mitch does high harmony above Kirsten like in this one and how he supported the third verse from Matt when it got to that higher phrase. These five work well together.
Mary Did You Know? One of my top five favorite Pentatonix songs.
WOW!!!! This is Absolutely incredible!!!! Love Mitch and his Angelic voice! This is one of the best Versions I have heard. Love Pentatonix!!! Listen to this version it doesn't times and it never gets old.Just Phenomenal!!!
Yes, I have it on a loop...that's how much I like it!
Great analysis as usual. So nice to hear from someone who actually knows what he is talking about and not just filling it with fluff. Can't wait to hear your analysis on "Aha" Live at the Star Vista Singapore! Have you watched any of Avi's solo videos?
No offense to Disturbed, but I much prefer this version. I feel that this song is particularly effective because of the contrast between the dark lyrics and the lighter, almost joyful melody (the orignal S&G version especially). The Distrubed version completely loses that and although it's good, it creates a completely different effect.
I mean, it's a cover. You don't wanna be a carbon copy of the original. Luckily, neither are.
No offense of pentatonix, but I much prefer disturbed version
Listen to the lyrics one sentence at a time. Trust me it wasn't meant to be a happy song. If you listen carefully to the original you can even hear it in their voices.
I so much agree with you. Sorry people, but I don't care for the Disturbed version, probably bc I grew up hearing this song from it's beginnings....so Pentatonix gets it...it is a contrast in the music and lyrics. Such an amazing song in it's own right.
Lead singer of disturbed is a classically trained vocalist.
To each their own, but you can’t deny his voice. It’s different and if you don’t like Disturbed more, that gritty style just isn’t your favourite period more than likely.
The song isn’t meant to be happy.
I only heard this version recently and had NO IDEA that Scott could sing so low as he often goes fairly high as well. His range is ridiculous! Though, they are all amazingly versatile in what they can do!
The conscious modulation from Scott is textbook "Protect the Box."
Fun to see/hear a young pop (mostly) guy pick up on he subtle vowel mods. I’m a 75 yr old classical (opera/sacred) major who is obsessed with Pentatonix. Thank you so very much!
They sing amazing grace and it's absolutely incredible definitely worth watching that one
That whole vowel modification thing was very interesting. I guess it makes sense being that it’s acapella vs other pop music, but still that makes me even more in awe of them knowing they don’t rest on their natural talent and really put in that extra bit of work. Side Q: do you have perfect pitch?
Not quite! I have what’s called strong “relative pitch” so I can usually figure out a pitch without a keyboard, but it’s not automatic like someone with perfect pitch
I am now a part of that 98% who just came from your Daft Punk one. And I don't mind taking it almost 30 minutes when it is better, full of details, new learnings, and deep analysis than my 3-hours subjects in online classes. :)) Thank you!!!!!
Thank you Peter for bringing all this analysis to us. Learning from you guy, keep up the great work!
Love the knowledge and love for music you have. Pentatonix are the best at what they do and never fail to give me goose bumps.
You are spot on about the blend of voices: nothing prepares you for PTX! Thanks for posting.
Songs without enunciation should NOT be called songs, but music (loosely). Pentatonix NEVER disappoints with PRONOUNCING the lyrics.
Another amazing reaction Peter!!! ❤️❤️❤️
this reaction was so fun to watch and i learned so much!! you put so much care into your analysis, and i can feel your dedication to your craft and how much you enjoy the music through the screen :) i love this performance to death, but the way you spoke about it made me appreciate it even more than i already did 🥰 thank you for sharing this!
Music that brings emotion is one of the most special things about being a human! Love that from you! Amazing video
Great review! I loved watching the emotion on your face as you listened to them! I listen to this song, and Hallelujah, by them every day, I never get tired of it! Much love
I strongly suggest Amazing Grace/My Chains are Broken from Pentatonix. That's another one that hits you in the feels.
Thanks for the great reaction 😀 I always love what your knowledge of music brings to your reactions. It's great for us to learn as we watch and have you point out things we possibly miss. Thanks 😊
This critique was so incredible. Thank you for taking the time to break it down to heighten the enjoyment ❤
I'm really impressed with your commentary. I love the Pentatonix and you obviously understand many levels of what they are doing. What you say reveals a high level of musicianship. Thank you!
Just found your channel a few days ago and have been going back through your catalog. I love your analysis on top of the reactions, especially from someone with a professional musical background. You do a great job breaking down these songs and you don’t glaze over the bass/perc portions like often happens in react/analysis vids. Can’t wait to see your next video.
Their version has always given me CHILLS and brought tears to my eyes. Everytime I hear it, is like the first with the emotion u feel listening to it. I love your and Tomi's versions as there is that deeper intensity to it. I love this one equally as much, I love to hear just how awesome a song can be in SOOOO many renditions. I love it. And thank u for taking the time, I agree, those 2% can find a new reactor bc I just love how detailed your critiques are and wouldn't change a thing, well, maybe to hear more lol
A Peaceful, Safe New Year to all. Thank you Peter for this video. I've been a fan of Pentatonix for a while now, and you have opened up such an understanding of their musical technology. I so miss singing with a senior center group that I was a part of. COVID has changed so much in our world, so I must be content singing along to so much on my Pandora download. I've saved your video to my list BTW. Thank you for your talent and teaching all who watch this and the other videos of yours. 🎶
I’ve watched a zillion PTX reactions and analysis since 2013 but I just found your video now. Man, I instantly fell in love with your musical intelligence. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is the first time I've experienced your reaction to any music and I must say I am HOOKED. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work!
You’re face makes me get chills when you Listen to it it’s makes the emotion. more powerful
I really enjoyed this arrangement and your insightful analysis. Because of you, I enjoy their performance and arrangement even more. Keep this up, please!
I love this group, they are always spot on and create an emotional response..this is my first time watching your reaction videos, I really enjoyed it. Will keep watching your videos to see what you think of all these different artists..happy New Years
This song is so amazing! Loved the reaction, thanks! :)
What a voice! Peter, I fell in love with your voice 😍
I watched an earlier video of yours and loved it. This one hit me hard! Just my job wise (I work in a hospital) this song is actually SO ACCURATE!!!! Your videos are amazing and today I needed this! Your videos are great.
Your breakdown of this, my all time favorite Pentatonix, left me absolutely agog. Now I'm going to have to search out more of your reactions, including other artists, which I'll have to 'squeeze in' between my bouts of Pentatonix addiction. Thank you for this.
Loved this, and really appreciate the vocal techniques notes. Looking forward to more !
What a beautiful voice you have... Your work is marvelous and accurate. TKS
Thx for the analysis this is very helpful
So glad you take your time and share your knowledge! If I wanted to watch someone smile and do a quick one-take of the song, they are multitudes who do that on YT. Thank you for being different!!!!
I adore them and the song. But let’s just take a moment to appreciate the dulcet tones of your speaking voice oh yes! 🙌🏼
Great reaction Peter, I just love how you melt listening to good music 🤗
Because of your musical knowledge and the way you critique/react to them, you gained my sub based off of this one reaction. You’re a phenomenal reactor! Honestly. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love how you analyze and talk about about music, take all the time you need!
I just found you and I love it when good singers analyze rather than just react. I am an old choir geek and I wish I had kept up my singing (I lost my soprano range by only singing for fun). I love a cappella because it brings me back to those choir days and PTX is the best by far! I am also an old folky and I didn't think anyone could do The Sound Of Silence as well as S & G but PTX blew me away! Thank you for this great analysis, I learned a lot. I am now subscribed.
I love watching some of their stuff on TikTok. Sometimes they'll give you some raw, live singing. Always makes me smile
Just found your account and you got a follow from me! I really love and appreciate your breakdowns of these songs and the techniques they utilize. Very cool to understand it and you do an awesome job explaining it.
You are just immaculate!!!! I absolutely love what you do!!! I am a fan!!!
Congrats on 10k dude!
Thanks, Luke! 🙏🏼
I just found your channel and I love that you do analysis.
