#Pentatonix #DaftPunk #RappersReact - Zábava
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF US PENTAHOLICS! This performance won Pentatonix their first Grammy. It was filmed and produced in 2 of the guys apartment, specifically in the kitchen and in a closet. The total budget: $400.
there was some post production that cost a bit more, but still 🔥🙌🏻💖
Oh, yes indeed! Pentaholics unite!
Crazy.
The Grammy is for the arrangement
@@camillep3631 okay and?
They actually have 3 Grammys are nominated for a 4th and will be getting a Star on the walk of fame in a month or so.
They also have original songs .
Kevin wore a visor because he had a bad reaction to the contacts. Honestly since Daft Punk always had helmets on it works even better aesthetically.
Their covers of Bohemian Rhapsody and Sound of Silence are insane, highly recommend.
They also have some originals, one of them is called Love Again. It's a dance track.
They won their first Grammy for this particular one actually.
If you want to see how good they are LIVE, check out their "2016 PopSpring Concert", which was recorded and sponsored by MTV (video and sound were terrific)...it has 4 songs of their originals !! These guys transformed the entire genre of acapella into mainstream and are the absolute TOP OF THE HEAP !!
Here's how popular they are...over 20 MILLION subscribers; more 7+ BILLION views of their videos; 3 Grammys (just nominated for their 4th); multiple platinum albums; 5 World Tours (always sold out); dozens and dozens of local concerts (sold out) and TV show performances...yeah, their that good !!
Actually 3 original songs and a montage of Michael Jackson snippets of his songs.
YES!!!!!! Please,Please watch the 2016 Pop Spring concert. Sooo fabulous or their cover of Kiiara’s “gold” they are literally just sitting on a couch and performing it live . Mind blowing how good they are.
yesss popspring is such a good performance
Avi, the bass till 2017, can sing bass while making an electronic sounding whistle. Kevin, the beatboxer, can do anything, including playing the cello while beatboxing.
Yes, they do this live, and it sounds almost the same! Check out their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody and then a live version - you'll be surprised at how good they are live!
Never realised Daft Punk had so many good songs. Good job on the beatboxing guys!
Their live album Alive 2007 is a masterpiece
Daft Punk had a lot of great songs. So many where they couldn’t put them all on the radio. There’s been a lot that never made it to the charts that should have but that’s what’s great about them. They chose the songs to be on the radio and then let people find their gems in their albums.
My favorite live performances by them are "Joyful Joyful" Live from the evergreen experience. Also "Hallelujah". You will be amazed by their live performances.
I really hope you keep reacting to them. It’ll be a wild journey. You’ll be blown away. I went to their first concert of their last tour, and it is indescribable how amazing it is. They’re even better live. I subscribed for more Pentatonix reactions.
The first two Grammys Pentatonix won were for the arrangements - "Daft Punk" and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (an instrumental piece with no words performed by a vocal group with no instruments). Their 3rd Grammy was for performance - Best Country Duo/Group, in collaboration with Dolly Parton for "Jolene". They are also up for a 4th Grammy this year, for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for their Christmas album Evergreen.
If you'd like to see them perform this same song live, their recent (sold-out) concert at the Hollywood Bowl (Sept. 2022) has a great video of it: czcams.com/video/a8PZ7_KMGM4/video.html
LIVE SHOW? Try listening to the Official Hallelujah! then listen to their live version. They are the same. They can reproduce all of their songs on stage, even if they need to adjust a bit. Kevin beat-boxes for entire songs and sets. Listen to Kevin Olusola create an entire song in his studio while you watch. From silence to magic in just a few minutes. Kevin is a true genius. He sings tenor, plays the cello, beat-boxes, produces, speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese, is a graduate from an Ivy League school, and was going to be a doctor before this gig to form Pentatonix came his way. Kevin is a true Renaissance Man!
I think the song he is referring to is Kevin Olusola Down, and it is incredible!
Absolutely love this Daft Punk medley, Pentatonix absolutely killed it here.
You guys should check out Daft Punk themselves some time--and for reference these were the songs used in the Medley: Technologic; One More Time; Get Lucky; Digital Love; Harder Better Faster Stronger; Television Rules The Nation;
EDIT: Oh, just to be pedantic as heck, while many of their Discovery music videos are Animated (cause it was an anime film), Daft Punk are not animated, they're Robots~
You left out "Around the World". Kirstie sings three repetitions while Avi is doing "Television Rules the Nation" and tosses in a couple more during the big breakdown at the end. It's well hidden and subtle, but it's there.
@@UserHorologium Oh yeah you're right! it's been a while so I forgot it was there, thank you.
I DID see them! Last year, a Christmas show. They are amazingly talented. If you liked this, you should try Can't Hold Us. It's amazing!
The Grammy they won for this song was actually renamed specifically so they could be nominated, from Best Instrumental Arrangement to Best Arrangement, Instrumental Or A Capella. They've won it twice plus the Best Country Group or Duo Grammy for a performance with Dolly Parton. They're currently nominated for a pop album category for their 2021 Christmas album.
I'd recommend their 90s Dance Medley live at the Hollywood Bowl for a shorter live performance, unless you want to watch the Daft Punk medley again and then I'd recommend the private performance which is not only live but also off-mic. Of course they use all the studio tricks when recording, but Kevin beatboxes straight through entire concerts, let alone individual songs or lines. The only thing he doesn't do live anymore is body percussion (stomping, especially) because it was tearing up his knee with their touring schedule. Now they pipe those sounds in... they started that around 2017, before that it was all live on stage.
Pentatonix is the GOAT! I've been to many of their concerts, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They have soooo many videos (both covers and originals) and have won 3 Grammys (and just nominated for their 4th). You can't go wrong with any of their songs. Take a journey down the PTX rabbit hole. You will thoroughly enjoy it.
Great reaction - I love seeing people react to Pentatonix for the first time! They are incredible and massive. Their concerts are amazing. They have been going for 11 years with only one member change. Avi Kaplan (the bass with the long hair) left for personal reasons, amicably in 2017 and was replaced with Matt Sallee, who is also great. They have loads of best selling albums both of covers (us Pentaholics call them 'upgrades') and originals. They have won three Grammy's - their first one for this Daft Punk medley that was filmed in the closet of one of their kitchens for $400!
They don't record anything that they can't sing live so no auto tune or effects or recording several versions of themselves. Their cover of Hallelujah has had over 700 MILLION views. They cover many many styles including pop, rock, EDM, hip-hop, rap (they can all rap, apart from Avi, the original bass!), broadway and world music. They are best known for their holiday albums and covers but their originals are fantastic.
If you want to see a masterclass in a cappella watch their 2017 cover of Bohemian Rhapsody which Brian May said was one of the best covers he's ever seen. All a cappella (even the guitar solo which Mitch - the high tenor - does with his voice!). As rappers, you should watch their covers of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's 'Can't hold us', also Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea's 'Problem' and Megan Trainor's 'No'. They are awesome. Also watch their 'Evolution of' videos - the Michael Jackson and Ariane Grande ones are my favourites.
Mitch (high tenor), Kirstie (Mezzo soprano) and Scott (tall, blonde, baritone) have been friends since they were 8 and grew up in Texas. They sang in high school together. They found Kevin 'KO' Olusula who is their beatboxer and plays the cello (and sings, he's also a tenor) and Avi, their original bass in 2011 when they entered and won an a cappella competition called 'The Sing-off'. The prize was a Sony record contract but Sony dropped them after a couple of weeks because they thought an a cappella band would be unmarketable. They went it alone and 11 years, several best-selling albums and many world sell-out tours later, the rest is history!
I'm in the UK and have been a fan since 2011 but am only going to be able to see them live for the first time in May when they come to London. Can't wait! If you want to see some of their live stuff, try Popspring 2016. That has their Evolution of Michael Jackson medley, and some of their originals on it. Also Aha live in Singapore (Avi blew the speakers - a common occurrence - on that one and Mitch goes insane on the high notes. It's a fan video so no copyright issues (which you will find are a problem). Or try any of the songs coming out of their Hollywood Bowl concert last October. Enjoy!
Re the Hollywood Bowl concert...Miles Reuben's channel has the whole concert separated by song which makes real easy for reactors to pick and choose which one they want.
@@Gwennedd - that's a very good point!
I think you'd like their cover of Can't Hold Us.
As a former vocal jazz singer myself, I can honestly say I have never and will never be this good. Just AMAZING
I just went to their Christmas Spectacular concert that was AWESOME! You MUST listen to the beatboxer Kevin Osolo doing exactly what you were describing in his cover of DOWN! IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! SERIOUSLY...With that being said. Welcome to the PENTATONIX rabbit hole. Since they won the Sing Off thirteen years ago they have honned their craft to perfection. In 2017, the bass Avi Kaplan left amicably to start his own solo career and was replaced by Matt Scalase, who slid in flawlessly for them. The "trio" of Kirsten Maladondo, Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi had been singing together since high school. It was Scott's idea to get back together for the Singoff TV show. They won and have never looked back. Their first big hit,HALALUIJH, has over 700,000,000 hits on CZcams. Besides covers, they write their own songs and have their latest Christmas album up for a possible FOURTH Grammy!
Here are some ideas for what's next!

@@j.6133 Not Matt Scalase - Matt Sallee
Great reaction. If you want to see a live performance, there are some great sound quality recordings from their 2022 Hollywood Bowl concert, including this Daft Punk Medley.
Mitch (countertenor), Scott (baritone - white hair) and Kristen (soprano) met in school and sang for years before Scott and Kristen graduated and went to college (Mitch still had one year to go). Scott met Ben Bram in college, who recommended that he audition for a TV show called “sing off“. He got Mitch and Kirsten on board. Avi (bass) was found and added to the group. (Avi eventually left the group for personal reasons, and was replaced with Matt.) Five members was the minimum for the TV show. Kevin (beatboxer, plays the cello) was found through his own channel, where he beat boxes to himself playing the cello. Scott reached out to him and asked if he wanted to come out for the audition, which he eventually did. The won that season and was given a contract with a record producer. They were dropped from the record label and decided to start making their own CZcams videos to promote themselves. Daft Punk was one of their first big hits, and it went on to win the Grammy. FYI, Kevin wore sunglasses because he could not wear the contacts and sunglasses were a good fit for the video. Avi had a problem with the contacts also but he kept them in - thus the red eyes… the group has gone on to win two other Grammys (one for “dance of the Sugar plum fairies” and “Jolene“ which they performed with Dolly Parton. Their album “Evergreen” is up for a Grammy in the upcoming awards. They are also going to be given a star on the Hollywood walk of fame next month.
There is a live version recorded on a cell phone. It was a private performance.
This song not only won a Grammy, it forced them to change the Category to give it to them. The category was "Best Arrangement or Instrumental", which became "Best Arrangement, Instrumental, or a Capella". It was the first Grammy ever won by an a Capella group.
Calling them an a capella group is like calling Larry Bird a basketball player. It's not wrong, there's just so much more to it.
Pentatonix has so many wonderful covers. They insist on b3ing able to perform all of them live. Hallelujah, Bahamian Rhapsody, 90"s dance songs, Eveluion of music, Elevation of Micheal Jackson, Mary did you know. Also I have watched a few of your reactions but this is the one I subscribed for. Shout out to my fellow Pentaholics.
Hey guys, if you are not PENTAHOLICS yet...try their version of Queen's classic Bohemian Rhapsody. This song and that one should put you over the top. They can sing anything in any genre...and they do. Another genius acapella group is the 5 young men known as HOME FREE. I suggest you start with End of the Road and then see their "fun side" with The Butts Re-mix, a mash-up of songs that feature butts! If you listen to them, I will also point you to a young man many people call the best singer in the world. Now, I am an old guy and I have loved music since the 60's. Is he the best in the world? Well, I will say this...I have never heard anyone sing better!
🎶🎤🎶🎤🎶 Yay! I took my daughter to see PTX in 2018. They're just as good live. This arrangement won Pentatonix their first Grammy. I want to see what you think of an original piece, so check out "Sing" by Pentatonix. P.L.U.R.R. from ATX!!
It's hard to have a bad day after listening to Sing - hard to choose a favorite from them, but this one is definitely up there!!
@@steffurness I mainly suggested "Sing" for Kevin's bit toward the end.
@@mistymichelle9957 absolutely!
They do this live .
The "Discovery" album is the one they do with animated characters, Daft Punk is known for using helmets
They have 3 Grammys and have been nominated for a fourth. They are the acapella group responsible for bringing back acapella. They are so talented and you should check out their originals. The fourth Grammy nomination is for their Evergreen holiday album. They don't do covers, they do upgrades! An original that they did with the same kind of vibe is Love Again. Definitely worth watching!!! They have a huge following worldwide. They are called Pentatonix, not The Pentatonix. Any song they do, they will perform live and sound the same. They have live versions of their Daft Punk Medley doing it in rooms with no microphones that you should check out.
This song is fire! I get chills every time ‘television rules the nation’ cues up. I can’t even think of my favorite song lol. Probably See through, which is one of their originals.
And also how "Around the World" is mashed-up with it. Never noticed it before until I read a comment about it. Kirstie did it again towards the end. I couldn't unhear it since then
Welcome to PTX! There’s nothing we Pentaholics love more than watching someone “discover” Pentatonix. It’s something we need to see and hear from time to time. You gave me my fix today. If you do take the trouble to learn more, you will find they are huge! O, more than that and they regularly perform live and their shows sell unbelievably well. Many are online and you may pick your choice. Just share it with us and I’ll be here to watch. I have nothing better to do. Much love from South Africa!
Welcome to PTX! This arrangement got them their first of three Grammys, and they are nominated for a fourth right now. They do covers, originals, and Christmas music in approximately equal amounts - all incredible and I am obsessed by their original and solo projects. They are insanely good live - just the same as their studio recordings or even better. There is a live version of Daft Punk recorded at the Hollywood Bowl from this past September.
Did you know they're getting a star on the walk of fame? 🤩😍
@@SissyKool yes, indeed! They deserve it!
They write their own amazing music as well. Plus they have a star on Hollywood walk of fame
Thanks for checking out Pentatonix. They were a pandemic discovery for me, and I have yet to find a song by them that disappoints. You could check their discography and just choose a song that appeals to you if you want to do another. I can recommend Bohemian Rhapsody and Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The Lion King to showcase other genres they absolutely slay, but honestly any title you choose will be good. Well done, loved the reaction. Peace from Ohio …
They have been Nominated for 4 Grammys, and have WON 3 Grammys. . . . one of them for this song. They are so well deserving . . . . . everything they do is Amazing - even their ORIGINAL songs!
That's THREE Grammys, and nominated for a fourth this year. Daft Punk was their first grammy (EDM); Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy was their second (a clasical song with no words); and Jolene collaboration with Dolly Parton was their third (country). This years nomination is for pop albumn of the year for their holiday album Evergreen.
I’ve seen them live TWICE. Worth every penny!!!
This was great guys.
First time viewer and an instant subscriber.
They have over 200 videos.
They have won 3 Grammys and are nominated for their fourth this year. We will know when the winners are announced on February 5th.
They have a bunch of live videos. They are amazing and engage with the audience. Some say they are even better live.
Oh, also they are getting a star ⭐ on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 20th.
I don't have Patreon money. But, please do more Pentatonix. You won't ever be disappointed
Want to know something totally wild about this video? Pentatonix recorded the audio for this in a bedroom closet, specifically Avi's bedroom closet, Avi is the bass. And they filmed the in a kitchen...and won a Grammy. Thanks for this react, always a joy to see others enjoying Pentatonix :)
I was LOL 😂 during your introduction of Pentatonix, knowing what you were about to see! I just subbed in hopes of more Pentatonix reactions! 💖
Welcome to The Tribe
Been to one their concerts. They sound just as good in person as in videos. They do covers but have original songs as well. Covers you should react to are Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, The Prayer, Hallelujah, tons of Christmas songs, Sound of Silence, Can’t Hold Us, Havana and so many more.
I haven’t heard a ton of Pentatonix but I enjoy what I have heard. (Their cover of “Hallelujah” is one of those I recall at the moment) Being a singer and growing up singing in chorus and choirs, I definitely have an appreciation for their harmonies and a cappella singing. Looking forward to hearing something new(to me) from them this morning.
I must say that personally I live for the bass in these a cappellas! I have joined myself in multiple layers in tracks when im recording my karaoke (even a capella)but I’ll never be able to do those deep bass lines. Just amazing! Can you tell I’m nerding out, here? 😁
Shout out to Melody(love that name btw!) for requesting. ✌🏻🫶🏻🎼
P.s. I’m ready for more tiers when y’all are! (And I’m sure I’m not alone)
i've seen them on concert twice. They are SENSATIONAL!! :). stay on the rabbit hole trip- you won't be disappointed..
The eyes covered thing was because (if memory serves me right) he actually had a reaction to the contacts and couldn't wear them.
Loved your reaction! The glasses on the beatboxer, Kevin, is an ode to Daft Punk. Daft Punk always wear helmets. Check out the upgrade they did of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. The beatboxing is fire & there is also a guitar solo too!!! Their 90's Dance Medley is bumpin too. They have so many songs & every song they do on video is also done live.
There are videos of them doing this live ❤️
The bassssss and the beatbox. WHAAAAAAAAT?!! ❤❤❤❤
Yay! Great to watch you guys again… I’ve just ‘discovered’ Pentatonix myself and totally love their stuff. Hope you react to others too. 😊
Glad you guys made it to one of my faves, mega talented.
I just saw them live in December . They are every bit as amazing live! Talent like I’ve never heard before 💜
Morning guys!!! Wow that was great! Loved this video. Very Kool! Hey loved y'all's beatboxing too! Great choice guys!🤓❤️😁
I seeing Pentatonix in concert has been on my bucket list for too long BUT… I got to see them in concert December 11, 2022!! Words can’t describe how incredible it was! Mind blowing!
I have been to their concert and I can tell you that they are equally as good, if not better, live! Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pentatonix!
Kevin, the beatboxer, had a bad reaction to the contacts, so they went with the futuristic shades for him. Avi, the bass with the beard and braids, also has super red eyes from them. They were apparently not fun to wear :D This was their first arrangement grammy. They would get a second for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies (An instrumental with no vocals, performed by an acapella band with no instruments, wrap your head around that), and the third for best duo or group with Dolly Parton for Jolene, the only grammy she got for that song. They are up for their fourth this year for best Traditional Album for last year's Christmas one, Evergreen. Their cover of The Prayer (Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, from the animated film Quest for Camelot) is absolutely worth a watch.
There are LIVE versions of PTX in Sold Out Concerts and they sound EXACTLY the same. A bunch of videos are from the Hollywood Bowl. Check out Kevin's version from his home town in Kentucky, USA.
I very much look forward to your inevitable Mitch Slaps. This will make much more sense when you get deeper into the PTX catalogue.
Fun fact, Take 6 won a Grammy doing acapella before any member of Pentatonix was born.
PTX is the greatest acapella group ever! I've been to three concerts. I will go again and again. They are just as awesome live.
The Grammys actually changed the name of the category to include a cappella so that Pentatonix was eligible
I saw them September 29th at the Hollywood Bowl. There is a video that syncs the studio version with the live version from that concert and I think it's Daft Punk. To see just how far they've gotten since winning The Sing-Off in 2011 check out their latest release prayers for this world off of last year Christmas album. Pentatonix owns Christmas. If you decide to go down the PTX rabbit hole, and I suggest you do, the fans, the pentaholic, will flock to your channel. There has only been one change in the lineup. The gentleman who did the bass Avi Kaplan left in 2017 and Matt Sallee took over. Kirstie and Mitch change their looks often but the only change has been with Avi and Matt. They sang the national anthem at this year's College Bowl championship game.
PENTATONIX ❤🔥🙌🔥❤️
The Grammy was for best arrangement, instrument or a cappella. They've won two more since then
OMG this was great!!!
If you keep reacting to Pentatonix, I'm a new subscriber! Can't wait for more PTX!!!!
Welcome to The Tribe
Pentatonix makes a point of never recording *anything* that they can't reproduce live.
They won The Sing-Off (basically American Idol for acapella groups) when Kirsten (Soprano), Mitch (Contra Tenor), and Scott (Baritone) were just 19 years old! Kevin (Beatbox) and Avi (Bass) were only a couple of years older.
Some of their other covers include 'Hallelujah,' 'Bohemian Rhapsody,' 'Mary, Did You Know?' and Macklemore's 'Ceiling Can't Hold Us.' Every one of which is spectacular.
Avi has since left the group - amicably - as a result of the time needed to care for his mother (cancer, if I remember correctly) eating up too much of his time to keep up with the demands of their touring schedule. He DOES have a bunch of original songs that are absolutely phenomenal, however. I recommend 'Other Side,' 'The Summit,' and 'Change on the Rise.' Which has been described as "if testosterone was a sound."
There is a video available on CZcams of them, performing this live for a group of VIP fans just in a conference room at a hotel with no microphones or electronics of any kind doing the same exact version in one take. It is literally amazing. Every one of those audio affects that you hear is just 100% their voices. 😊
Another Pentaholic has join the chat! (and subscribed)
Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Imagine are your next best songs!
Hallelujah has over 680 million views!
Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong
Yes, I have been to their concert - and it's totally awesome. They make it so much fun and do ALL their songs . . . they sound exactly like they do on video . . . just go down the rabbit hole - they have done so many things since this and they just keep getting better and better, they are on an entirely different level than any other acapella band.
FINALLY some PTX up in here!!😃this made my day!!thank you🙂love this group!!they are amazing!!✌
You know, I watch a lot of reactors are artist themselves who put bits of their own into their channel (which is great). For me, you're actually the first I have enjoyed enough, just from your intro bit, that I do want to hear more.
🙏🙏🙏
Such a great reaction! Just be careful, the label is a bit aggressive, so the reactors usually put a filter over the videos to not get blocked. PTX does a lot of covers (upgrades, as we Pentaholics call them), but also have a tone of original music (which is also superb, but gets little radio time :( ). They pride themselves on never doing anything that they can't recreate live. For your next reaction, may I suggest 2016 PopSpring concert? It has 3 of their original songs and an evolution of Michael Jackson!
Definitely have to check out their cover of Hallelujah. Once you watch it you'll understand why it has as many views as it does. Other good ones to start with are 'The Sound of Silence ', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', and since you're rappers; 'Cant Hold Us', a Macklemore cover.
If you're a Lion King fan, 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' is one of their best, IMO.
Also, their version of 'The Prayer' is mind-blowing.
In some videos that are new or you will see that the bass singer who was also doing the wind noises, left the group amicably in 2017 and was replaced by another bass singer. That is the only change over the years despite some of the members changing their looks up often.
They are amazing in concert. Got to see them in VA Beach a few years ago, and was blown away.
Took you long enough. Kiddy. Great band. Great reaction.
Great reaction! This video is so fun! I'd love to recommend their covers of Sound of Silence and Bohemian Rhapsody - prepare to have your minds blown!
Since I didn't see anybody else mention it, Pentatonix is also getting a star on the walk of fame!
Great reaction guys! Love PTX but you two slay!! Saw you were loving it! They do rap as well: Thrift Shop, Can't Hold Us and others & when you mentioned being at a rave, I recommend their original Love Again. I never thought I would recommend an accapella group for rave/EDM but they really are that good. I'm subscribing in hopes to watch your response to PTX again and I'm checking out your other content too cuz if you're as much fun as this was ....
Kevin couldn’t wear contacts so glasses, recorded in Avi and Kevin’s apartment for around $400 won a Grammy
Avi, who was doing the “wind like” sound can do what is called polyphonic overtone singing. He can make two sounds at once
I have been to 3 PTX concerts, 2 Christmas concerts and one popular concert. So much fun! You can see that they sound the same live as they do in the videos.
3 grammys and nominated at this year's Grammys. The do covers as well as originals and Christmas songs. 95% acapella. If they use an instrument you will see it. Kevin the visor/beatboxer couldn't deal with the contacts.
There was a recording of them doing this live, without microphones or anything, if I remember correctly. I expect the studio version might have some production done to it, but they can do this almost exactly the same live.
I thought Hollywood was having a stroke, messing up this intro like that 😂😂😂
I was worried too 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for reacting to Pentatonix!!!! They just did the National Anthem at the football game... .all over the web!!!
If you want a live concert you’ve GOT to watch them do Popspring Live 2016. Excellent show with originals and a Michael Jackson cover.
Also check out Can’t Hold Us, Sing, Gold, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence and so many more. You actually can’t find a bad “upgrade” (they don’t do covers, they upgrade 😜
Oh and just know that the guy with the beard is the only one who sings the bass notes. He sings the entire time, no beatboxing. However he is able to sing his low bass notes while making the whooshing sounds you saw him do. The Beatboxer (Kevin) doesn’t sing any bass notes while he beatboxes or otherwise, and when he does sing he sings high notes.
Great reaction! There is a music artist named Billy Joel, he does use instruments but he has one song that is a cappella and it is called "For the Longest Time" pretty cool especailly if you are looking for more a cappella!
Kevin isn’t just beat boxer. He sings and he’s a tenor, he plays cello and piano.
And is also a classically trained Saxophonist.
Ptx are absolutely amazing a young gentleman taking CZcams by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
its amazing how they managed to mix up like 10 daft punk songs into a 5 minute remix
Glad you guys have discovered PTX. Anything PTX puts out, they can do live. Their concerts are amazing as they give you a performance. They have won 3 Grammy's (this song was their first). They are also nominated for their 4th Grammy this year for one of their Xmas albums, Evergreen. You should def react to more. Also, there is no "The" in their name. It is just Pentatonix, LOL. Hope you do more reactions. Us Pentaholics love them and will watch!
The guy with the glasses had a bad reaction to the contact lenses. This way he didn't stick out soooo much!!
You gotta watch one of their live shows for sure, they kill it live. Just as a note, their bass was replaced in 2017 so the bass in this video (Avi) is no longer with the group. If you watch more of the videos you might wonder if others have been replaced but besides the bass it’s always the same people, they just look crazy different in every video lol.
Lmfao Hollywood you shoulda just told him instead of making him guess 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is actually a Daft Punk medley. (For you young-uns, That's a mashup lol).
They do a lot of covers but they also have original music as well.
Love the beat boxing guys🤣
You are correct Hollywood...100% acapella... No instruments.😃frickin crazy!!!✌out dudes.love you guys.
Btw,here's a few of their best songs: Dance of the sugarplum fairy,love again,Hallelujah, imagine,joline,new rules x are you that somebody?,boogie boogie bugle boy,and come along.😃but every song they do is amazing!!!😃✌
They are fantastic live! I have been to 5 concerts now, and they never disappoint. To really appreciate Kevin( beatboxer)., he has a solo channel and his cover of Down is astounding. He uses the looper you were talking about, but also cello, keyboard, beatboxing and singing. Hope you get to see it- Kevin Olusola- Down
Not sure if anyone answered your question about Kevin not being in the blue contacts. He had a problem wearing them, so he went with what you see in the video! There you go! Great reaction...
You can win a Grammy for some things that make no sense (and some rap performances fall into that category), but when you hear Pentatonix, you realize they are an incredibly talented group of vocalists for whom their voices are merely a starting point for a wild musical ride. PTX has original music as well as covers. They do a great job on Christmas music, but they also cover things as far out as "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen) and "Havana" (Camila Cabello). They are almost always pure a capella, though their beat-boxer is also a classically trained cellist who sometimes brings it along, for example their cover of "Shallow". They sometimes have a "guest" artist who might bring an instrument, for example Lindsey Sterling (violin) for "Radioactive". But everything they do in-studio, they can (and do) perform live. Their musical ability must be experienced to understand just good they really are. When you look at their videos from their PTX Official, check their "views" counts. They are in the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS for many videos, and the site as a whole has literally billions of hits.
They won a Grammy for this song
