It's basically, The music industry: "No one can do EDM acapella", PTX: "Hold our beers"
Just to feel this🤣🤣🤣🤣how could u not just go crazy.......?
PTX can do anything; except a Taylor Swift song . 😄😄😄😄
@@rugr82day actually, found a video of them doing Taylor's. Years ago.
@@heidifruchtl354 there is a little (I knew you were trouble) snippet in the Wizard of Ahhhs
@@courtneyswanson160 no, well yes, that too, but I found a full video of them doing a Taylor Swift song. Can't remember which one tho
They won their second Grammy for doing Tchaikovsky, an instrumental with no words. I think you would enjoy "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy".
M MG This is just incredible when you take the time to think about it. I just wonder who even suggested an a cappella rendition of an instrumental classic and whether the others needed any persuasion. And then they pulled it off. Like they always do!
@@LeskeyC001 Good questions! All I've heard is that it took a long time to arrange and very little time to record. I think Avi said it took 10 minutes and Mitch said it took 30 minutes? or maybe it was the other way around. Easiest recording session ever, according to both of them.
LOL (at self). I was sure you posted on 1 April or it was a pure troll comment. But, dayaaaam, you were serious, and the hype is real. 🐵 Here is the official video: czcams.com/video/jt3oAyK_IG8/video.html
@@r0kus LOL Yes, it is a real thing. and they did actually win a Grammy for it. Their official Grammy page is here:
www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/pentatonix/20140
I can see how it might seem unbelievable at first. It is unusual for a group to win Grammys in three different genres: Punk, Classical, and Country.
M MG Wow! Only 40 minutes or so They are unreal!
Another song of theirs that’s similar with an electronic/techno vibe is “Love Again.” It’s an original song too, so a great example of their versatility and amazing talent. I think you’ll like that one too.
Probably one of my favorites from them! Beat, lows, highs, catchy tune! Video is also fun :)
I love Love Again. It’s a shame they didn’t do more original music in that vein
Kevin's bass drop on this song sent me going off. I was like, "YAASSS!!! RAVE MY ASS OUT!" Couldn't help but drop it, when he went in like that.
Please, please, please....reaction to this song, if you see this comment.
Kevin and Avi (and now Matt) work closely together to get the beat and drive of the song. Kevin is a human drum machine, but it's Avi that helps those beats get that Bass thump. They're such a team that Shawn Stockman (Boyz to Men) dubbed them "Meat" and "Potatoes" for consistently holding their arrangements together during their run in the Sing Off (TV competition show that got them their start).
Knew you were gonna like this one Adam - what's even more impressive is watching thrm doing it live in concert. They've also performed this in some of their VIP private events, just amazing. Beat boxer Kevin Olusola deserves huge credit for the techno beat, alsong with bass Avi Kaplan, that drives this work. It earned them their first Grammy Award (of three, so far)...I know you recently reacted to Angielina Jordan's cover of Bohemian Rhapsody but you shoud really check out their cover as well. Also would suggest the live version of Hallelujah from their 2016 Christmas concert so you can see and hear them live. All the best, and thanks!
100% on Bohemian Rhapsody because Brian May of Queen posted their version.
FunFact, a Australian wrote in some comments, that while performing "Daft Punk Medley" at concert in Down Under, The real Daft Punk appeared in the audience. I suspect that is a big thank you and show of respect from DP for PTX resurrecting their songs and revamp them. GRIN. As always please stay save and healthy, May the force be with you, German greetings.
If you like these faster pace songs, try "Cant Hold Us", "Problem", "Radioactive", "I need your Love", and "Rather Be"
Also Love again!
@@louellamoyer5578 omg yessss Love Again sooo good
I took my kids to their concert and thought there was no way they would sound as good live as they do in their videos. I just stood there with my mouth open in shock. This song legit sounded exactly like it does in the video, and we were up in the front and I could hear them really singing, so I know they weren't lip syncing. We've been to three more concerts now, and they were all just as good.
They won a grammy for this. Scott (tall blonde) does most of their arranging. An amazing talent.
recorded in Avi's closet, costs around 400 $ and brought them a Grammy :-D
A video of them accepting the Grammy: czcams.com/video/AUMH57NS6hg/video.html
I know Scott said $400, so it's become canon and it certainly makes the best story, but that amount would about cover hair, makeup, and contact lenses. Did FifGen Films really do all that extremely elaborate editing for free?
@@DelGuy03 no the initial outlay was the $400 but it doesn't include Fifgen costs in production. They did use a laptop, Avi's I think, along with his closet and kitchen as the studio. It was after they were dropped almost immediately after winning the recording contract on the Sing-Off. This band quite literally made it on their own 🙂 however here is the full background story on this shoot from the production standpoint with photos. Do watch the video it explains Pentatonix use of the "hey" segment at the end of each video too. strobist.blogspot.com/2013/11/pentatonix-daft-punk-video-low-budget.html?m=1
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 Thank you for the information, I appreciate it. That makes a lot of sense. I do know that this was during the period when Sony had relocated them from Epic to Madison Gate, which essentially left them to their own devices.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 Not sure if you meant to imply this video came out shortly after their record label Epic Records dropped them, but there was quite a bit of time between the two events. They won The Sing-Off in December 2011 but wer dropped by Epic either later in December or early in January 2012. They posted their first cover song to CZcams on January 10, 2012 (Maroon 5's Move Like Jagger). The Daft Punk Medley didn't come out till November 2013. It was their 25th music video posted to their CZcams channel.
'the soundscape of their voices'. What a beautiful and evocative phrase.
Now, if you'd like something COMPLETELY different, "Run to You" (which is a PTX original).
Christopher Cobb, that’s one of my absolute favs because Avi totally carries it all the way through.
Love it so much! ❤️ Just beautiful!
It is my favorite, too!
Avi and Kevin wrote "Run to You"; remember they were roommates in the early days!
@@MC1002MT , you are right!!
The fact that you knew the Daft Punk songs really allowed you to truly appreciate how PTX worked at replicating those “electronic” sounds! Keep the fun coming! Can’t Hold Us is huge video production as is Wizard of Ahhhs!
Great reaction! “New rules x are you that somebody” by ptx. I don’t think you’ve done that one yet. Also, “gold”, “say something” and “can’t help falling in love” are some of my favorites.
Ok Adam you’re ready for Bohemian Rhapsody next. Truly a masterpiece.
This group has totally revolutionized the Acapella genre every since they won the TV Show "Sign Off" (Acapella competition) and now are truly world famous and, for me, the best singing group in the world for the past 9 years. Each member is insanely talented, and they have done solo stuff...Kevin is the musical genius of the group, so check out his performance of "Down". Enjoy the journey...they have over 400 videos.
Hi! 👋🏻 I just wanted to give a tiny bit of History on this song and it kind of leads into the story of the group coming together. Ben Bram won a Grammy for his work on this video when Pentatonix won their Grammy. It was filmed in one member's closet and another member's kitchen. Ben is a freaking genius with how to record acapella! He and Scott met in college which is what kicked off Pentatonix as a group because Ben had heard The Trio on CZcams and told Scott he should get his friends back together, get a beatboxer and a bass an audition for The Sing-Off that was an acapella competition airing on NBC at that time (Season 3, 2011). So Scott and Kirstie dropped out of college and Mitch skipped his high school graduation while Scott found Kevin doing cello boxing on CZcams and Ben located Avi through the music community. The trio had sang together in High School and were all best friends. Their dream was to bring acapella into mainstream music and give it a new sound but Avi and Kevin had never worked with them before or with each other. Oh! I forgot! Kevin (the beatboxer) dropped out of Yale to audition with this group and both Kevin and Avi had seen The Trio on CZcams before they were contacted and had thought the kids were really talented so jumped at the chance to audition with them. The first time all five sang together in person was the night before their morning audition for The Sing-Off. I think everybody remembers that they won and then Sony drop them from the label the very next week saying they didn't believe acapella music could be competitive in mainstream music. And Pentatonix got to work and proved Sony wrong. A lot of hard, hard work on their part and very faithful patrons helped them to keep going in spite of being told no over and over again! And Ben Bram, that friend of Scott's, has gone on to become one heck of a producer! He's their go-to guy!
You know when a song is great when you get the chills, mine is as blue as Kirstin hair.(Applause all-round 💯 great reaction as always 💯👌👍
This one was released in 2013 !! They were just kids!! So, so good! They definitely deserved that Grammy!!
This song earned them their 1st Grammy award in 2015 (they have 3 Grammys so far). They earned their 2nd one in 2016 for their version of "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" and the 3rd in 2017 for their collaboration with Dolly Parton for "Jolene"
Fantastic reaction Adam! Christmas right around the corner, their Christmas album is amazing. "Mary Did You Know" and "Silent Night" are my 2 favs.
And O Come All Ye Faithful...not what you're expecting😉
@@lindabergstrom6650 This is my fave for Christmas. so upbeat and.... YEAH!
Enjoyed your reaction. Thank you. This is a pentaholic favorite.
Masterpiece! Totally deserving of that first Grammy. The arrangement is so complex and clever, I never get tired of it. I love the diversity of their repertoire. Great reaction. Thank you. 🤗
Time for anorher Grammy video. Dance of the sugar plum farie. No words just music
I LOVE this song. When you watching makes you wonder if they really can do those cutoffs in the middle of the sentences as well as they do. There is a live version on the internet somewhere that they prove that they can. SO much talent!
PTX...IS SO ININCREDIBLE YOU CAN'T YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING, BUT LOVE THEM! ❤❤❤💯
I had heard some Pentatonix before listening to this song but this is the first song that blew my mind. It cemented me as a pentaholic
Knowing Daft Punk as you do you will appreciate the 'blue' also - a lot of people miss the nod to the animated movie (Interstellar) where their character is blue coloured and the neon stuff was a nod to the Daft Punk track that featured in Tron. My favourite part is when Avi sings Television and Kevin is going off ! He's a definite machine for sure.... Great reaction Adam !
Great reaction, I enjoyed it a lot, you made my day thanks :o)
First time I heard this medley my mouth was open all the way thru, just could not believe it, I think I listened 5 or 6 times in a row, I Love this Daft Punk Medley.
You really should react to their version of Bohemian Rhapsody, an another one that let me speechless.
Stay safe!
Lol so well rehearsed? Lol. They threw this together one night at Kevin's and Avi's apartment. It was made for $400.00, in a closet, and kitchen, and won them their 1st Grammy.
They definitely rehearsed...
The song is well rehearsed. The video was thrown together after their original recording plan fell through and they had to come up with something else quickly.
Great reaction, you need to watch bohemian rhapsody by pentatonix it is amazing, everything they do is but a few stand out even more, look forward to your next ptx reaction
Here for the obligatory "Recorded in a bathroom. Filmed in a kitchen." comments. =)
I believe it was the closet and kitchen, and the cost was only 400 bucks and that included the blue contacts except Kevin cuz it burned and turned his eyes red so he used the 'techno glasses'.
I LOVED IT! Now you see why we Pentaholics love PTX! They are amazing and then some! So unique! Can't wait for more reactions! You do them so well! You can see the excitement in your eyes! Thank you for reacting!
I love how happy Mitch looks in this one. This was probably the first "song" I ever heard by them. Love it!
When I first watched this, I had to watch it loads more just to see who was doing/singing what 😂 - thank you again 🙏 Plymouth UK 🇬🇧
One of their classics for sure. Great reaction as well!
It is the essence of art. The whole artistic landscape is represented. It's everything!!
They shot this live in Avi’s closet using an iPad. Used only $400 for makeup and costumes. Did some finishing work in Avi’s kitchen. This is what Scott said to the audience at the Grammy Awards. This was their 1st Grammy. They now have 3.
SO MUCH FUN! And huge respect for putting up with the contact lenses. Truly great. So glad Adam enjoyed it as much as he did. Totally agree.
Pentaholic here! I love watching the grin just grow on your face as you watch this. Great reaction, Adam. On a side note-Your voice sounds so familiar, like I've heard you in a different type of video. A survival game(s), perhaps? If not, then you have a voice twin, complete with accent. lol Could you react to Love again and Run to You,? Both are original PTX songs. Thanks for the great reaction!
Thanks so much! And nope, my voice has not been in any video games at all, as much as I’d LOVE to do voice work for games!! Hopefully one day 😁
@@AdamStraughan Oooh I meant games as in Let's Plays. Like you recording yourself playing a game. You sound like Fooster, or he sounds like you. In any case, it would be great if you got to do some voices for games!
@@Mahiahtree I'll have to check Fooster out!
Their original piece, "Sing", is a must, as is their cover of Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us". Welcome to he Pentaholics' rabbithole! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
love it ! love daft punk ! what a great mix by pentatonix ! crazy right! just their voices ! thx for sharin adam s ! music brings the world together ! just love ya !
It's good to see a real Daft Punk fan review this song. Too many reviewers don't understand the music style. You know how it needs to sound and how hard that is without synth tools. Thank you. Please try their other semi-impossible song, Bohemian Rhapsody. For more dance club fun, their original Love Again is a real kick.
Great reaction! Thank you for not pausing every two seconds like some reactors do. Really enjoyed this!
I am a 71 year old whose adores music! I have an Apple iPad Pro, with Bose speakers!! I have just have spent time listening to Pentatonics!! They are absolutely beautiful, amazing, outstanding!!! Their harmonies are perfect!! Today as I write this, it is July the 18th, 2023, my 71st birthday!! What a gift to hear such sound on my birthday!! God Bless all! 🍁🇨🇦❤️❤️🙏🏼
Happy birthday!
Great reaction video, I love all the points you make. I love this song and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times, but you made points I’d never thought of. PTX’s cover of Gold by Kiiara is a really good one, if you’re looking for more recs 😊
To my opinion, meaningful reaction, ’cause you know well Daft Punk, and you know what it takes to perform this meshed up rendition as an a capella group. You did have expectations, as you’re wondering in your intro how they will achieve the electro sound of Daft Punk products, and you looked amazed all along. And I just liked it ! Thank you for this reaction, geat one!
I see it in your face! You're hooked now. Love your reactions Adam! Welcome to the PentaUniverse!!!
Great reaction! They are PENTATONIX....and this is their MasterClass!! :)
The amazing thing about these that we all pentaholic knew very well, is that they can nail this arrangement very well live.
The harmonies in that song are so tight it is nearly impossible to separate them.
You really need to check out Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy as well. They also won a Grammy for that song. The amount of technique their arrangements takes is insane. The highs and lows are mind blowing. The harmonies? Mic drop. Can't wait to watch more PTX on your channel!
Loved your reaction, thanks, it cheered up my day xo
I recommend from pentatonix either Imagine or Bohemian Rhapsody.
Yes Bohemian Rhapsody! Its a great follow up to Daft Punk imo.
@@craptos6938 they have so many (all great) that are slower and/or ballads of sorts. BR really focuses on the of the creativity and precision more so than the others. Not to mention it's an epic piece.
Tim Fredrickson you are right they have so many. I personally enjoy when a reactor is new to PTX and does Daft Punk then follows up with BR myself. Since they are both so epic and in the beginning of PTX journey. Hope he does it. 👍
@@craptos6938 I so enjoy the reactions of people finding PTX for thr first time. In nearly every video there's a "Mitch moment,"' "Oh. That bass!!" and, "What?! There have to be drums somewhere. Making that with.....their mouths?!"
Tim Fredrickson 🤣🤣🤣
They’re fantabulous! They’ve said they start with bass & beatboxing, then add in vocals but they all work together. I don’t know if they’ve changed that in the years since or if Avi leaving & Matt joining changed how they do things. They’ve improved sooo much since winning the Sing-Off.
They never do a video they can’t do live! They’re incredible 🏴🇬🇧
This song was amazing seeing in concert! The fact they can perform this live and still maintain that wall of sound was mind-blowing! 🤯😍
I love your reaction. The way you express yourself, describe your opinions and give me useful info from time to time. Keep doing more reactions. Well done.
I had a feeling you were gonna fall heads over heels with this. It's too good not to. Great reaction!
Love this song and KO holds the whole group together!
Yes! Definitely check out some of Pentatonix original songs! "Sing", "Na Na Na", "Break My Heart", so many more!
The first time I heard/watched this I had to stop to breathe! Just magic.
I have been a fan of this mashup since it came out. Did you know that the audio for this track was recorded in Avi's bed room closet, the video was filmed in his kitchen. They also disclosed they spent a total of $400,00 on this video. To me that makes it even more mind blowing
The look on your face was pure enjoyment, and a bit of awe. it was great
Outstandingly astute reaction, Adam. You see and appreciate not only the song, but all that is required to put their performances together. Don't miss their stunning collaboration with Todrick to create the Wizard of Ahhhs video, which is very different from this but so very inventive and creative and with the perfect songs chosen for the mash-up. It will blow you away.
David Bangtson Thanks so much!
There are a couple of videos out there of private performances of this medley done with no mics, just standing in a room and it is just as impressive. They are beyond talented!
I’m not familiar with Daft Punk, and it actually took me a while looking at reactions to this medley before I understood it was a medley and not an original song LOL That says something about how seamlessly this was put together 😊
Thanks for another great reaction from you 😊
Glad to see you are enjoying your PTX journey. Don’t stop now, there’s so much more to explore!
Some great songs mentioned below to react to. I also love Havana, Can't Help Falling in Love, any of their Evolution videos, and my favorite (that you haven't done yet) is Say Something.
When Run to You came out, I used to watch it just to cry sentimental tears.
The ability to distill the essence the of each song is what makes them so phenomenal!!!
They only record songs that they can perform well in live shows. So no studio tricks, etc. The budget for this video was $400 and filmed in a closet. Awesome group! I enjoyed your reaction, comments, and am a new subscriber.
A quick history of this video.
This wasn't long after they won season 3 of the sing off. They won $200 thousand and a recording contract. They moved to LA and a week later the company dropped them. They took the money and started making youtube videos. This was recorded in a closet and filmed in a kitchen. They won a Grammy for it.
2 words to remember hope and joy.
LOL!!! Yes, brilliant basically covers it!! THANK YOU!!!
Whats cool (the Showing off) is that your actually been watching them in reverse order chronologically, lol. Great reactions by the way.
You need to see more medleys, covers and originals xxx amazing
Pentatonix's cover of " Bohemian Rhapsody " does justice to the original version.
🤍🤍🤍💙🤍 fun stuff... i like it a lot
They sound like this live, too
"I love how they're always ending the video with exciting news - like dropping a new album or going on tour -" OR, dropping an album AND going on tour, like in this one xD
You know what? Just type "PTX" in the search bar and click on whatever happens to come up. You simply can't go wrong.
That is the reason why they won a Grammy for that ;)
I'm one of your newer subscribers that helped push you to 15K. I'm really enjoying your reactions and found you from your Diana Ankudinova reactions. Your reaction to Angelina Jordan's Bohemian Rhapsody performance was really touching. You've introduced me to some other performers, such as Aurora. After seeing your reaction to your first listen to Pentatonix, I could tell that you were going to love this one.
Given how much you enjoyed hearing Avi on the Hallelujah reaction, I would recommend checking out another a capella group, Home Free. My favorite of theirs is Man of Constant Sorrow. You will also appreciate Avi's appearance with them on their cover of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire.
Hi Adam,
I'm really glad that I bumped into your reaction of this song. I am a huge Pentaholic and this is one of my favourites of theirs. (I'm sure I've made a dent in the millions of views that this song has.) I love that you know Daft Punk well enough to know some of the words to the songs and that you were able to appreciate how much effort must have gone into the arrangement, the recording and the editing.
Have a lovely evening,
Easter
Thank you so much!
Avi Kaplan who is the bass has since left the group and has gone on to a solo career writing and singing song that is in his heart. Just signed with a major record company and has dropped some of his new work...check out Change on the Rise which has almost 7 million views here on CZcams, Chains, Otherside, It knows me just to name a few. You won't be sorry! BTW Avi is either an E2 or G1 depending on which song he is singing. I could go on and on about Avi's talent! Just magnificent! Enjoy!
There's a reason this won them their first Grammy! It is amazing and hard to believe that it is acapella. Listening it is so easy to forget that there are no instruments or autotune.
You better start a list, lol. Their catalogue is huge and not one song disappoints, in my opinion. Also, of your feeling froggy and love origin stories go watch their performances on Sing Off (which they won). Mitch, Kirstie and Scott were 19 at the time (babies!!), and even then their talent was undeniable! ❤️
You will find everyone has their different favorites, a tribute to PTX. Early career "can't hold us", or Mary did you know, Mid career, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Later career .Sound of Silence, their new original Happy Now...soooooo many......
Recorded on an iPad in the bass’s closet for $400. Did some finishing in the kitchen. Scott said this at the Grammy Awards.
Couple of facts for you. Their label had just dropped them, so they did this for $400 in one of their kitchens themselves. They also won their first Grammy for this video.
Thank you for reacting to this video!! Check out their Video Killed The Radio Star, which was their first showing of their club mix style on the Sing Off
Ha! I was the 1k like on this one! New subscriber here, this was an awesome reaction to one of my favorite bands. I really enjoy how you break down the bits and pieces of what you enjoyed of their performance. Please, keep Pentatonix reactions coming.
Another group you may enjoy is Vocal Point, especially their Nearer my God to Thee. Yes, it's a religious song, but they do to it what this group did to the Hallelujah song. It'll give you goosebumps.
Very nice
If you like the vibe of this one - check out their Original 'Love Again' - 'Sing' - 'New Rules x Are You That Somebody', 'Come Along', and 'Can't Hold Us'. I think you'd really love those, they are BOPS!
Thank you for not pausing/talking over the song!
Great reaction. They truly are jaw-dropping talent & incredibly creative.
Loved your reaction, I could tell you really enjoyed this.
They weren't "showing off". This is one of their early-early videos. They were just showing _what they could do._ This video is one of the things that blew them up online (as well as earned them their first Grammy)
Gary XHLC I mean, I just meant it as an expression rather than seriously meaning they’re only doing this to show off 😊
Hi Adam, they have so many performances that are excellent. The few that I would suggest include:
1) "Bohemian Rhapsody" - enough said
2) "Evolution of Music" - they have many 'evolution' videos of well known singers but this one is one that I think you will enjoy, as they sing many familiar songs from many genres through the decades
3) "Mary Did You Know"- as we get closer to the holidays, this is a must; each member has their own turn to shine, including Kevin Olusola (beatboxer) who has a very nice voice.
I think one reason your channel has grown rapidly is that you have intelligent, astute, and critical comments and pick up on things that many reactors fail to mention. You spend time discussing each performance which shows off your knowledge of music and good comments.
Among the large number of great singers out there, there are 3 very popular and world class singers (in my opinion) who often show up with reactors- you have seen Dimash and Morissette. The 3rd of this 'trinity' is So Hyang of South Korea. She is a Contemporary Christian Music/gospel singer who is technically flawless (according to virtually all all vocal coaches/ teachers) while singing with emotion (there is a video of vocal coaches even crying). She is not well known because she sings for God and to comfort people going through difficulties (note her song choices), and not for fame and money; she has turned down international offers. She is the queen of the mixed voice due to perfect technique and reaches very high notes to emote (not to show off). Each of her performances are mini-masterpieces. I suggest:
1) Arirang Alone
2) Your Raise Me Up (2018)
3) Everyone- this 7 minute song is often considered her greatest masterpiece; she said it was her hardest song due to breath control.
I love that you're now a fan! They put in an amazing amount of hard work. They won a singing competition called The Sing Off. Their journey has been amazing to see. Check it out if you can!
