I GUARANTEE that if you watch Hallelujah, Daft Punk, Bohemian Rhapsody and The Prayer ... it will change you FOREVER. Make the time to watch them. It doesn't take you but 6 minutes each. Their cover of these songs will KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.
Ptx has won 3 grammys and has their name on Hollywood walk of fame. They have so many songs that we pentaholics call upgrades not covers. Plus they have original music. You should check out their 2016 popspring performance.
Thanks so much for your recommendation and for watching 🫶
3 Grammy awards and a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Truly leaders in the modern a cappella movement.
Thanks for watching 🫶
Check out "The Prayer", Kiss From a Rose ", and Bohemian Rhapsody ". That's a good start. Loved the reaction. This lovely young lady said it all with her facial expressions. Cheers.
The members of Pentatonix. In this song:
• First verse, tall blond guy: Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. Scott's range extends from about midway through a normal bass range to a fairly high tenor, probably about 5 or 6 octaves. When the bass solos Scott can and does take over the bass harmony line.
• Second verse, dark haired guy next to Scott: Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), contratenor. Mitch has a range of just over 6 octaves, but he's most comfortable in his higher registers. He switches between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice seamlessly, and is known for his ethereal high solos. Everyone in Pentatonix says he has the best voice of any of them.
• Third verse, black guy in a white jacket on the far left: Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass. It's hard to be sure just what Matt's range is, because it's still growing. To find his current range I recommend listening to a live stream of "Hallelujah" from their most recent world tour, though you may want to watch their official video of "Hallelujah" first so you can hear what it sounded like with their original bass, Avi Kaplan, who left Pentatonix in 2017 for personal reasons. You can find the recording with Matt here: czcams.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/video.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, which is fantastic. His lowest notes don't blow out speakers the way Avi's have done (though they may within a year or two), but on the high end he's very close to the top of a normal tenor range.
• Fourth verse, the only woman in Pentatonix: Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, alto and soprano. Kirstin sings anywhere from a low alto (though not contralto, which is the female equivalent of baritone) through coloratura soprano, the highest female range. And she has whistle notes on top of that which are off the charts. Lately Pentatonix has begun referring to her as an "alto soprano."
• The fifth member of Pentatonix is the black guy on the right: Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), beatboxer extraordinaire. Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on the cello and once on the saxophone. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place.
Matt joined Pentatonix in late 2017 or early 2018 (depending on how you figure it), after their original bass left the group for personal reasons in 2017. Which brings us to the one member of Pentatonix who doesn't appear in this video:
• Bearded white guy who usually wore a beanie or stocking cap: Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo - his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances - but his range extends upward to about the middle of the tenor range. Since leaving Pentatonix Avi has gone on to have an extremely successful solo career; I highly recommend subscribing to his CZcams channel, which you can find here: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic
The appearance of Mitch and Kirstin tends to vary greatly from one video to another, so people will frequently think they see someone new in Pentatonix when it's really Kirstin or Mitch. With these two, go by their voices, not their appearance; their voices don't lie. To be clear: Avi is the ONLY member who's left Pentatonix and Matt is the ONLY member who joined later.
Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin are childhood friends from Arlington, Texas, and in high school they formed a trio which they unimaginatively named "The Trio." They performed frequently at school functions and occasionally on local television. For this reason, pentaholics (Pentatonix fans) still refer to them as "the trio," and the trio is the heart of Pentatonix.
Its also good to mention that Matt has now been in the group longer than Avi was. 7 and a half years after he joined, some of us have gotten tired of hearing people refer to him as "the new guy".
@@blitzofchaosgaming6737 Ah, I knew it had to be coming up soon but was uncertain about the exact dates.
I'm one of the people who's tired of hearing him referred to as "the new guy." Matt is a fantastic singer, with a HUGE range; he is an equal member of Pentatonix and deserves all of the respect that goes with that. The problem is, sometimes, in context, "the new guy" is the only option. It's very annoying, but I haven't been able to think of a way to avoid it. Have you? If so, PLEASE share it. If just one person can come up with a better way to deal with "I haven't seen him before! Who is that?" we can all get behind it and maybe put an end to the implicit belittling of Matt.
The difference between HF and PTX is that Pentatonix is more like a Ferrari to HF’s corvette, both are great cars, but one just has a bit more under the hood, and those sleek lines. I suggest checking out their Grammy winners first, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Daft Punk, and Jolene, the collaboration with Dolly Parton. I’ll subscribe for more.
5 Grammy nominations & 3 grammy wins. They can be found on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Only A'Capella group to do either one. They won the t.v. A'Capella singing contest, "The Sing Off" in 2011, it's 3rd season (Home Free won the next year). Please consider reacting to "The Prayer", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "A Kiss From a Rose", "Gold". Live performances - "Pop Spring 2016" (3 original songs & 1 "Evolution of......" song.). Professionally (MTV) filmed. Loved both of your reactions. Thanks!
Thank you for your recommendations and for watching 🫶
The Prayer, Say Something, Oh Come all Ye faithful, Imagine. A few of my favorites to many to list. Hope you will do some more Pentatonix. Love seeing new viewers react. Subscribed and liked.
Thanks for watching and subscribing and we will do more 🫶
Daft Punk, Jolene (with Dolly Parton), Sing (original), The Prayer, 90;s Dance Melody
I love Havana and Cheerleader among many many others.
For emotional response try Hallelujah. For pure joy, Daft Punk Medley or their original Sing.
Pentatonix began in 2011 after winning The Sing Off, the same as Home Free. Great videos of both groups from the show are on CZcams. They have many great videos such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah (700,000 views and counting), Daft Punk (their first Grammy winning cover), The Prayer, Kiss from a Rose and some really fun early ones Can’t hold us and Thrift Shop where they rap. They have a heavy focus on Christmas music with many great upgrades of Amazing Grace, Mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, O Holy Night. The list of videos is incredible. They have amazing live performances on CZcams as well. Those are definitely worth checking out because they are so close to their studio performances. They also recently were featured on the Oscars 2024 opening number. They are an incredibly talented group of singers and performers. Welcome to the world of Pentaholics. It’s a fun place to be.
Your recommendations are great!! but there is one thing :(don't mean to nit pick!!!) Hallelujah has 700,000,000 views not 700,000. Greetings from a fellow Pentaholic!! 😁😎
@@tammykiernan1839 You’re right. I shouldn’t type before coffee.
@@michelestiles7692 I hear that! Luckily my hubby just handed me a fresh cup ☺️
More Pentatonix please!!! They have a vast library of music videos that you will love.
Sounds good to us Ken! 🙂
This group is my favorite. Their talent is unbeatable imo. The Prayer, Amazing Grace, Kiss From a Rose (live Vevo), Can’t Hold Us, Evolution of Michael Jackson, O Holy Night and the list goes on….
Recommendations with Avi Kaplan: Hallelujah (700M+ views); Daft Punk (their first Grammy); Bohemian Rhapsody; Imagine; Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (23nd Grammy); and Jolene (w/Dolly Parton and 3rd Grammy) and, finally, theri Popspring 2016 concert on MTV (4 songs 3 of which are originals).
With the new bass Matt Sallee: Amazing Grace, The Prayer; O Holy Night; Kiss From a Rose; Creep. With nearly 250 songs to choose from, you can't go wrong.
My favorite a capella group in the world - I like other groups but Pentatonix’ arrangements are so superb and clever, and I love that whether the song is one they’re covering by another artist or an original, their diction is so crisp and perfect, I can actually hear and understand every word. If you want to hear how great they sound live, try Popspring performance 2016, which includes the best Michael Jackson medley you’ll ever hear and a couple of great original songs, since some new listeners don’t realize they write original music as well. Every time I watch it, I marvel at the perfection in all four segments and that it’s live.
Pentatonix's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" has over 3/4 of a BILLION views, so you might find it worth reacting to.
Great reaction. Another one not to be missed is their new rendition of O Holy Night which came out this past Christmas. I love PTX but this one is so moving (and pretty much everything they do is, so I’m having trouble finding the right words to describe this one) that you truly don’t want to miss it. Maybe what touches me so much is the reverence while they’re performing it.
At any rate, you’ll be blown away completely when you watch and hear it. I hope you won’t put it off until next Christmas.
Thanks for the reaction.
Thanks for watching and recommending 🫶
As someone has already mentioned, Pentatonix got their start when they won season 3 of _The Sing-Off._ Home Free got their start when they won season 4 of _The Sing-Off._
I like Home Free; when I hear their rendition of "Ring of Fire" (featuring Avi Kaplan) I can't tell that it isn't Johnny Cash singing. But IMO, Pentatonix is the better group, for two reasons:
1. Pentatonix sings songs from just about every genre there is; Home Free tends to be more narrowly focused, on Country and Western songs.
2. Pentatonix has both male and female voices. Home Free has only male voices. (And lest you think that I mean that as some kind of criticism of men, I think that another a cappella band, Citizen Queen, suffers from having only female voices.)
Pentatonix is the only a cappella band to have ever won a Grammy, except they've actually won THREE Grammys, and been nominated for two more. They're also the only a cappella band to have a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Definitely check out their cover of Kiss From A Rose, it’s amazing.
If this is your first time seeing Pentatonix, welcome to the rabbit hole. It is very deep. This group has been around since 2011. There have hundreds of performances. Here are my recommendations per category
Top Three Danceable Songs - Daft Punk Medley, Love Again, Can't Hold Us
Top Four Pop/Rock = Hallelujah, Say Something, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine
Top Three Christmas Songs: Angels we have heard on high, Mary did you know, and Oh Holy Night (2023 version)
Top Three Mimic Original: Rather Be, Cheerleader, Royals
I subscribed for more Pentatonix reactions. I’m excited for you to discover their full awesome! Top recommendation is Kiss From a Rose.
Thank you, keen to check out more 🫶
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole! Their catalog is huge and they are all amazing
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole! It's a deep one, but I think you'll enjoy the journey!
Avi Kaplan (who was featured in the Home Free video Ring of Fire) was the bass singer with Pentatonix (aka PTX) from it's beginning in 2011 (to compete in the a cappella competition TV show The Sing-Off) until the autumn of 2017. He announced his departure in the spring of 2017, for various personal reasons, and is now writing and performing as a solo artist - his latest album Feel Alright was just released a few weeks ago. Matt Sallee (3rd solo singer in this video) was selected as the new bass for PTX in a nation-wide blind audition, and was a "featured guest" during their Christmas tour in 2017 to make sure everyone was a good fit, officially joining the group in early 2018.
Every video you see created since late 2017 will have Matt as the bass; everything prior to that will have Avi as the bass. There are 2 videos that are exceptions to this rule, both done without any bass singer at all: Dancing On My Own, done while Avi was still performing with the group in his final tour, and Away In A Manger, done after Avi completed his final tour but before Matt joined the group. In Dancing On My Own, Kevin Olusola (the beatboxer/vocal percussionist) plays cello while beatboxing (a technique Kevin invented which he calls "celloboxing"), and the cello's warm lower tones actually provides a sound very similar to what a bass singer would provide. It makes for a very interesting video!
I'll recommend 3 videos: Hallelujah (their most popular video, approaching 750 MILLION views), Daft Punk (their 2nd most popular video (a measley 374 MILLION views), and the arrangement that won them their first of 3 Grammy Awards), and The Prayer, their cover of the Celine Dion/Andre Bocelli duet (which should have given them a 4th Grammy, if their record company had any brains). The first two are with Avi Kaplan, the last one is with Matt Sallee as bass. At least 2 of the 3 will provide a decent Mitch-slap - if no one else has explained it, I think you'll figure it out after listening to the songs.
They have an amazing "90's Dance Medley"
Avi was replaced by Matt guy in white jacket. He had big shoes to fill and did so masterfully
I think that this was the first video that Matt sang with the group.
Kirsten's vibrato is insane.
Welcome to PTX! I’m happy you’re checking out this astounding group of artists. They have an enormous catalog of covers, originals, Christmas music, and solo side projects that could keep you going for years if they were all you reacted to. It sort of doesn’t matter where you dive in, you’ll always find something worth hearing! Great first reaction! Subbed.
Welcome to PTX... 5 musically gifted aliens sharing their talents. Do check out their live performancea as well. Ill recommend next Hallelujah or Imagine
Thanks for watching 🫶
I recommend their Evolution videos, such as Evolution of Michael Jackson. Or their Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing. They have original music such as “Sing”, “Anchor”, “Can’t Sleep Love”. They won their first Grammy for their Daft Punk medley. They were in Pitch Perfect 2. They are the best ( musically and as people). Hope you react to more PTX.
Thanks for your recommendations and for watching 🫶
Pentatonix is amazing with everything they sing. You can't go wrong with whatever you pick. But what would be fun if you watched them from the beginning and go through their catalog. They started off on the show The Singoff. (Season 3) We would all love to watch you guys react to that. Subscribed for more PTX. Have a blessed day.
Okay, next react to their official: Hallelujah, Daft Punk, The Prayer, Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody. You'll be a pentaholic like all of us (if you aren't after Sound of Silence). :-) If you wa nt a lOT of up-votes, review Pentatonix. They have a GIGANTIC fan base.
Subscribed for more Pentatonix. You might find that, in the future, you will need to pause a lot and use some sort of image filtering. We Pentaholics don’t mind since we have seen the videos and are here for your reactions.
Recommend their cover of The Prayer.
Cool to see first PTX song. They have so many songs is crazy. Not even counting their famous Christmas selections. What I love about them is they all alone have special talents that are great separate but when they come together is amazing how unified and in sync with each other they are. Personally I love their versatility of singing any genre. From country to EDM and pop and even do other languages as well in a few songs. Hope u see more.
Just love PTX-- Awesome Reaction!!
The best! Thanks for watching 🫶
Thank you for the reaction. Avi Kaplan is one of the founding members of PTX in 2011 but he left amicably in 2017, worn out by all the traveling and performances and persona problems.
This is the first video to feature the base singer Matt Salee, the tall black dude on the left who is a fantastic replacement.
PTX so far has done more than 250 videos covering all genes. All are excellent or mildly good. I will let other Pentatonic to fill u in on other information butvwould like toughest u react to the following videos.
Daft Punk
Bohemian Rhapsody
90s Dance Medley
Amazing Grace
The Prayer
Thanks so much for your recommendations and for watching 🫶
Deck the Halls was Matt’s first video. 😊
Never seen a 'mildly good' ptx video. They are all phenomenally talented and it's reflected in each video and every live performance.
I will admit that music is an art and therefore highly subjective.
Don't forget Hallelujah, Daft Punk, Bohemian Rhapsody. These are the trifecta each reactor usually starts with. If you want to see how they started, watch Season 3 of the Sing-off.
Please also react to Amazing Grace, The Prayer n Kiss from a rose. Ptx does own Christmas, tho. So you might want to react to some Christmas music, at the appropriate time.
Definitely not Matt's first video, not sure where people got that. Maybe it was the first video after he became an official member... he was a "featured artist" from September 2017-February 2018 (when they renewed their contract with RCA). But he did a LOT with them during the Christmas season before this.
If you listen to the Daft Punk official
video, it’s easy to think that a lot of work was done in editing. Take a few minutes and listen to a “private performance “ version of it as well. It’s just the five of them standing in a room being recorded by someone with a cell phone camera and it is amazing how much they shine with such poor recording facilities.
Avi Kaplan has released several solo albums of his own songs since he left PTX.
Home Free - Top tier talent
Pentatonix - Out of this world talent
Subbed for more PTX....
Thanks for watching and subscribing 🫶
Subscribed for more Pentatonix. Loved your reaction!
Thanks so much for watching 🫶
Avi Kaplan has gone solo and on tours. Love him so much and miss him
Nice reaction! Lots of musical treats from PTX ahead of you.
Mitch (the 2nd vocalist) is a counter tenor........in this performance he actually sings higher harmonies than Kirstie, the female vocalist.......listen closely .........
Only similarity between ptx and home free is that they're both acapella based. Home Free does more country type songs, while ptx does a wide-range...mostly pop. PTX also uses instruments sometimes such as cello or piano, if its in the recording, it's in the video.
So happy to see a new perspective on PTX! Subscribed for more.
Thank you so much for subbing 🙂
TRY OUT THEIR ORIGINAL EDM original "Love Again", but their version (this past years version) of "Oh Holy Night" is like an epicenter of musical bliss. Nothing like it.
Thanks so much for your recommendation and for watching 🫶
Helpful hint: Don't call them Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon. Especially if you're anywhere around Paul Simon.
Hit that subscribe button if you enjoy our videos and what we do, we appreciate it! 🙂

Avi has left and Matt is the new bass.
You popped up in my CZcams because of your reaction to Pentatonix. The very loud background music you play over yourselves is very distracting. We're here to hear you and the music video. Sometimes, less is more. You seemed to have enjoyed PTX. They have an amazing library of upgrades and original music. Their oldest iconic piece is "Hallelujah."
Thanks, it's always a work in progress. Thanks for watching!
So, ever heard of Bohemian Rhapsody?
Of course! Queen! We'll have to check that one out by Pentatonix as well!
Not to react to, but just for fun here's Pentatonix learning some Australian slang at a pre-concert meet for VIP ticket holders. -- czcams.com/video/LMQA6uegRCQ/video.html
Please it's better if you don't talk over music. It's beat react after done. talking ruins the experience. UG!
We choose to do it this way and have for the entire time we have had our channel, it works for us.
Why do you have Pentatonx sooooo small and you too so big .. there is heaps of wasted screen to make then bigger . I'm sure others apart from me would love to see them bigger and clearer
Generally we do it because the idea is to watch us react to what we are watching and not have all the attention on the video we are watching..
@@kazhannah Accepted , but why not a better compromise so people can actually see what you're reacting to
Happy to look into this in the future.. thanks
Either you're too loud, or the music is too quiet. Unwatchable, sorry.
These things happen from time to time.. hopefully will be all good moving forward.
