      Actually Mitch isn't a tenor. I know we're conditioned to the idea that adult males are either tenor or bass, but Mitch is the ULTRA rare adult male alto. The man doing the reaction refers to him as a 'tenor altino', but if you listen to Mitch's natural speaking voice the timber is clearly alto. He can stretch 'down' into the mid-tenor range, but he can 'full voice' all the way to top of alto and range well up into the soprano range without going 'full head' and easily without having to 'dip' falsetto. Damn near unique honestly. Avi is also quite rare being a 'basso profundo', but not quite the 'near unicorn' of Mitch. The fact they have both of them and world class vocalists in their own right in Kirsti and Scott both having wide range with great breath and tone control. Kevin is just a beat-boxing god as well as an incredible instrumentalist (obviously doesn't do that with Pentatonix) and can sing with a light but pleasant tenor. The fact they assembled this collection of talent and skill into a single group? Historic.

      Perfectly stated! I think that they are probably in the top five artists to come out of the tv singing competition shows in terms of overall success (not being overly familiar with all of them), alongside Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert, Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson, and the only non-American Idol contestants on the list. I remember when they got their first Grammy nomination, Entertainment Weekly had an article headlined, “Grammy nods: The Sing-Off: 1, The Voice: 0.” And that was after TSO was canceled by NBC.

      You can't compare a solo artist from a group. Different textures, very different feel.

    The first guy is Scott Hoying (baritone). His voice is soulful. The second guy (beard and beanie) is Avi Kaplan (pronounced Aahh vee) and his tone sounds different perhaps because he is typically the bass. His voice is full of emotion and warmth and he has an amazing range. Next is Kirstie Maldonado mezzo soprano and her voice is light and angelic. Mitch Grassi (in the hat) is the countertenor. His voice quality is so beautiful and unique. Guaranteed to blow your socks off. Last but definitely not least is the beat boxer extraordinaire and also a tenor Kevin Olusola. Probably the most talented of all. Thanks for your reaction. I hope you will check out Daft Punk (their first Grammy win), Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody.

    Pentatonix (abbreviated PTX), a 3 time Grammy award winning American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying (baritone), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo-soprano), Kevin Olusola (vocal percussion), and Matt Sallee (bass). Avi Kaplan, the original bass of the group (he was the second singer in the video you just watched) left in 2017 and was replaced by Matt. Characterized by their pop-style arrangements with vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion, and beatboxing, they produce cover versions of modern pop works or Christmas songs, sometimes in the form of medleys, along with original material. Pentatonix formed in 2011 and subsequently won the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off, receiving $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music. When Sony's Epic Records dropped the group after The Sing-Off, the group formed its CZcams channel, distributing its music through Madison Gate Records, a label owned by Sony Pictures.[3][4][5] Their CZcams channel currently has over 18 million subscribers and 5 billion views. The group's video tribute to Daft Punk had received more than 347 million views as of April 6, 2021. They are considered the best a cappella group in the world with their innovation and sound....
