They got their first Grammy from this arrangement, and it was well earned. I'm glad you didn't put off hearing PTX any longer! Great reaction
That is amazing they deserve a Grammy for this!
You will find perfection in all of their videos, even the early ones. You would be shocked by their professionalism in the contest they entered in 2012 called Sing Off. They were in season 2. They won. Oddly enough Home Free entered Sing Off the next year and won. This showed the music world that singing a capella is sellable. PTX has led the way and set the standards. Good luck with this fun rabbit hole. I recommend a “Kiss From a Rose” a cover of a Seal song. Watch the VEVO version which is the video.
Enjoyed the reaction. ❤️
Awesome thank you for this and can't wait to hear more!!
LOL! I figure your wife is hiding around the corner somewhere snickering like crazy. I would be!
Nice reaction! This one is a fave with many reactors...and it won the band a Grammy...for obvious reasons. It was pretty low budget, just a few hundred for costuming lighting and general stuff plus another bigger chunk for mixing and editing, but look how great it came out, despite being recorded in a closet and filmed in a kitchen.
Maybe next: Mad World, Say Something, Shallow, 90's Dance Medley, Coffee In Bed (original).
she probably is lol and I can't wait to keep hearing more and more!
Love your reaction to this! I believe this and their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody are the best a cappella arrangements ever made. The Grammys actually created a new category so that Pentatonix could win it for this incredible arrangement.
Fun fact, it only cost them around $400 to make this video and it was filmed in (at the time) Kevin and Avi's kitchen with just a ring light and some blue contact lenses (which you can see irritate their eyes - particularly Avi's! Kevin couldn't wear the contacts at all so hence the cool visor!). If you like EDM, I would strongly recommend you react to their original track 'Love again'. Their originals are much under-rated because they are so well known for their covers. Love again is my favourite PTX original. It also has a cool video which has an alien/Steampunk vibe!
welcome to pentatonix's rabbit hole of music.............Pentatonix History…..composed by Alan Freeman
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese). Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on CZcams, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his CZcams videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on CZcams), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an acappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on CZcams, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. They also got a star on Hollywood walk of fame. UPDATE: They’ve been nominated for a 5th grammy award.
UPDATE: Pentatonix has done a cameo appearance in the new movie “Candy Cane Lane” starring Eddie Murphy. They are the carolers.
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only acapella group with a star!
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong “Pentaholics” will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used auto-tune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
Thank you for all of this information!!! Really means alot and I love seeing how much people love there music and how passionate there fans are!
They have a similar EDM original video called Love Again. Also recommend their 90s Dance Medley.
Can't wait!
Nice reaction Shady! Thanks for reacting to this one. If you haven't seen it, there is a video of them doing this live at the Hollywood Bowl. It's amazing.

I'll have to do some reactions to there live performances also!!!
@@shady937 , There is a 20 minute video of them performing in Japan doing 4 songs, all originals including Evolution of Michael Jackson. The video was done by MTV so both audio and video are clear and well done. It's called PopSpring 2016.
Enjoyed your reaction! (A little heads-up: Although they are mostly acapella, as in this one, they do sometimes use instruments...both in the foreground and/or background. When you run into this don't let it throw you off.)
Thank you!!!
@@shady937 , yes...Kevin ( the beatboxer) plays cello at concert level, both Mitch and Scott play piano and Matt ( new bass) plays drums, Kevin and his cello sometimes features in a few songs...Shallow, Say Something, Thank You ( features Scott on piano and Kevin on cello), Perfect, Dancing On My Own.
Radioactive, Papaoutai, and Over The River also feature Kevin on cello and Lindsey Sterling on violin.
CHECK OUT LA LA LATCH, LOVE AGAIN
