When Scott and Mitch reacted to PTX on the Sing Off on their Superfruit channel, they laughed and cringed at a lot of their performances too, especially the choreography. They called out Avi's wave during this performance with laughter as well.
You are not the only one that enjoys avi’s dance moves. He gets down! And it’s hilarious. The choreo is hilarious in most of the show. They have to make it “entertaining”.
What I love about their sing off performances is that if you watch only their performances, some may not be that good at first because they’ve set such a high standard for themselves, but when you watch the entire episodes and you see the other groupers you realize even more how incredibly talented they are with only 5 voices (and also hardly any experience performing as a group). And I agree, their performances are... interesting 😂 Scott and Mitch actually reacted to some of the sing off performances and cringed as well so don’t worry
Yeah this
Mitch didn't always sing as high as he does now because he was self concious I think. He's amazing now that he just shines
After you watch all the sing off performances, I'd love to see you react to Superfruit reacting to the sing-off cuz they laugh a lot at themselves:)
I second this request
they completely ignored Kirstie most of the time and yes that was an inappropriate comment from Sean i agree 100% with you on your views on this song and the judges comments.
Actually, Avi's gold on the sing-off was his bass playing. I love watching him play air base while hitting those low notes. Don't hold the choreography against them. None of them claim to be dancers. They were required to do it on the show, however.
Don’t worry just keep watching you’ll reach the powerhouse performances 🙌🏻😁😁
It's an awesome medley. Don't care for her music but they were pretty talented putting it together.
It's rock week next. And they slay it. It's one of their best performances.
I am so glad that you recognize the talent before the presentation!! Kirsty is always beautiful, as are they all in their own way 😘... but it is a talent show first and foremost.... THANKS for the great commentation!
I'm also not a big Britney Spears fan, but I love how Pentatonix knocked it out of the park. And I agree Kirsten's performance was amazing.
I agree with everyone else. The best is yet to come. Also, I will forever be looking for Avi’s dancing from now on lol.
Born To Be Wild is next (this is one of my favorites - like rock more than pop)
I love the cheesy choreography and the Avi wave was hilarious - glad you caught it. Scott and Mitch on their Superfruit channel reacted to their sing offs and pointed out their strength isn’t dancing which is why they don’t do it now. So glad you called the guy out who just blanked all of Kirstie’s talent and just focussed on her looks.
I agree about the comments. Her look should not be a comment when this is a singing show. She has so much talent. Thank you for your honest opinion.
I think Kyle's comments were honest and fair.
This was their early first mash-up work and i guess they were discovering the power of effective transitions. At least one Other reactor found this performance flat.
Thanks for the honest reaction, Kyle. It is very much appreciated
Not my favorite arrangement, but their enthusiasm is wonderful. Thank you for your honesty.
Sir. You are ALWAYS RESPECTFUL. You are kind and respectful. As we always should be.
This man gives nods to TALENT not just looks. KUDOS SIR!
I appreciate your comments and we want your honest reaction. Remember they have only been together 6 weeks and you have seen so much from their mature material. Keep watching, it gets better.
Scott and Mitch went back a few yrs later and reacted to this one, don't worry, they had a few good laughs too lol
And on Mitch's part, a lot of cringing haha
This is one of my favourites but mainly for the mashup at the end...it was flawless and sounded incredible
Yeah, if you say to any Pentaholic, remember Avi waving his arm around - they know exactly what you're talking about. Mitch's "a little less ghetto" comment is also a classic. By the way, that "Dum da dum da da" they did during Kirstie's solo - I understand that's a riff from a Boyz II Men song, which is why the judges were laughing. Really looking forward to the next one, #7, it's my favorite. Oh, and I agree with you about Shawn's comment not mentioning her singing. He did it again later, calling her "sassy", but not saying anything about her singing. Oh, well.
Yes, that was from Motownphilly.
This is not one of the “knock you off your seat” performances from the show and it does definitely have its entertaining moments 😂.......but there are some GREAT ones coming ❤️
Enjoying watching these again with you. You always have great comments and insight. Keep ‘em coming! Can’t wait for 7,10,11,12!!!
I am amazed at how well they performed together realizing they had never performed together as a group. it is great to see the beginnings of a powerhouse group even when a particular performance isn't your cup of tea.
Avi always says, "The hips don't lie." lol Almost up to my favorite Sing Off performance, #7. I get what you're saying about the different music, not a big Britney fan or Kanye either but Pentatonix has a way of bringing it together that I enjoy. Thanks Kyle, appreciate ya. :)
Watch Avi dance in 8 - Stuck Like Glue. Absolute gold.
I think that you could tell Scott was annoyed during toxic. His ad-libbed “Hey” felt like a vocal eye roll.
Cant wait for 10th performance!!
For me I thought this was great because it showed that they weren’t afraid to try different things, like the sounds they were making, and that there was so much going on but they attacked it. I enjoyed the “club” sound they could make a lot! And No one could or can do transitions the way they do them in my opinion! I did get perturbed a little watching these performances about how much Shawn went on about Avi and Kevin, when the other three were every bit impressive. Not to take away from them cuz they were amazing, too. But if I had any sort of peeve about sing off it was that! So thanks for listening ha ha!
When I watched the whole series a few years ago, I did notice that Kirstie was the least commented one of Pentatonix. I stopped reading the comments below the videos when I noticed a few people were saying she was the 'weak' link of the group, she pulled them down, etc... Judgmental people... Well, I have to say to them - Look at where she is now!
She was even very important even in the Sing off, her harmonies always are very important to the group, and here when she sing Shawan prefer to comment on her looks, Sara complement,
I think the one that was more hide is Mitch, because they didn't want to show his voice and that he was very shy
I finally just binge watched all of the complete episodes of season 3, and I feel like I have a better picture of how they did and how the season went. There were singers and groups who had highlights that were subjectively better at times, but I get why they won and I wholeheartedly agree. Bringing everything they had to each performance, like their dancing here, was just one of many reasons :-)
Avi's arm wave is a common reason for chuckles for them and their fans, lol. I also would rather comments on Kirstie's contribution here be centered around her solid vocal performance, but it did take guts for her to do all of it, including the dress. She rocked it all!
I did the same thing. The thing that stood out about PTX to me was that they came out every time like this tiny little determined army. I don't know how to describe it better than that. The other groups were sometimes better but over the whole course of the show you could count on PTX just marching out there and meticulously delivering the music. Not necessarily the choreo but the music was always there.
I was blown away by this medley so I'm definitely a fan of it 😆
It only gets better from here... like way better. Even Pentatonix cringes when they watch this lmao
Like many genres of music and performances, we can appreciate the talent and skill without necessarily loving the end result.
There are peices of this performance that are genius.
It always cracks me up when beeker..., uh, I mean Mitchy goes; "Meep, meep, meep, meep".... lol! Peace, Love and Light Kyle!!!
That got me too. I almost commented on it but didn't want to pause too much.
You are right on. I was pissed every week. They singled out everyone but her. So under appreciated on the show. But to her credit, since then, she's grown exponentially and you can't not talk about what she brings. I've said it before. She makes or brakes this group. Period.
Ptx were really good since the start but they just keep getting even better with the time 😱 and that's amazing
In the superfruit video where they reacted to their old performances. Mitch joked about his voice being lower and said “me trying to sound straight” 😂😂
Just waiting for the 12th performance.. 🙂
I like this one, though it's not one of my favorites from their Sing Off run, I'd put it right about in the middle. They did a little experimenting with mashups in the ending, that will re-emerge later in their Sing Off run and notably, in their later career. The choreo was corny, but a lot of that was pushed on them by production. The "master medley" that was probably the big winner of that week was the Dartmouth Aires "Queen" medley... it was really good, you should probably watch that one too, it's also available on the mrduckbear11 channel. You always have to remember that this was really early in their time together as a group and they're still fine tuning their sound and interaction. As others have mentioned, going forward from here they really start to hit their stride.
@Bill Godwin-Austen --Yeah, the Queen medley was probably the best, but my favorite was the Elvis medley from Vocal Point. Their second song was an interesting arrangement, and Jake's smooth vocal was beautiful, and (as was noted by Ben) McKay just killed the third song in the medley. Of course, if you want to really talk about the Queen medley, the sing-off between Afro-Blue and the Dartmouth Aires at the end of the last episode before the finale is the definitive performance; Michael absolutely laid everything out on the table for that performance. I still think (as Shawn did) that Afro-Blue should have been the choice, but that Aires performance was *fire*.
@Kyle Kholin --While I'm not a Britney groupie, I will admit that the first two songs in this medley are very catchy and yes, I like the originals too. The third song, not so much (particularly the original), but it was nice to hear Mitch's low end before it disappeared for six years, only to pop up unexpectedly in "Take on Me", where he went through quite a range, just like Morten Harket did in the original. Several of PTX's recent videos have showcased the lower ends of the group's members, including (especially) "The Sound of Silence", but most of Mitch's money moments are the diva notes (G#5!) that he hits over and over again. He became more comfortable with his upper register, and boy can he werk it.
Their next performance ("Born To Be Wild") is IMO their best performance of the season, especially when one considers the small size of the group and one of the unexpected pitfalls of reality TV. Several groups had to make due without one of their members for several episodes (one of The Collective's powerhouse female vocalists had to miss an episode, one of Vocal Point's members father died right before the series started shooting, and one of the Dartmouth Aires had to leave to start graduate school late in the season) but these were groups of 9 or more, whereas PTX had only five. They were the smallest group to make it past the fifth week that season; there had been three other five-member groups, but one was eliminated after their first performance, another after their second and third (both performances were in one episode), and one after their fourth. (And FWIW, one of those groups had a standing engagement for 200 nights a year at a club in Branson, MO, and another had released two albums before their appearance on the show.) And yes, this is another episode where Kevin and Avi are specifically praised, but they deserve every single syllable thrown their way, because da-yum. (You'll see.)
Not sure if I said it before, but I really appreciate you listening to the feedback you got on earlier reactions and listening to these Sing Off performances all the way through to the end so you can also catch the behind-the-scenes commentary from PTX right after their performances. Some of those clips get really intense and it's so cool to see the group grow closer with each passing week. Great reaction as always!
You're doing good man, dont sweat it. Just keep doing you.
When you watch some of their chats with us the all laugh at Avi's hand waving ...he mocks himself about it too. Their is a video of Scott & Mitch reacting to some of the sing off is so funny. They talk about the dancing & laugh.
First you compliment Avi's dancing, then laugh about it. lol
Kyle, we watch you for your honest assessment. You don't have to apologize for your opinion.
Bear in mind, this show is a search for stage performers as well as musicians. How they present themselves visually has to play a part in their judgment, so it comes across in their comments. And Sean, more than Sarah or Ben, is experienced with exactly the dynamic PTX was working for.
even at this level they were so much better than any of the other groups, and yes avi's hips don't lie you will laugh more when you see him dancing when he just isn't paying attention sometimes it gets a little PG rated hahahahaha lol superfruit have a video where they make fun of the choreo as well so don't worry! :)
This one grewon me over time. Baby PTX.
Check our Superfruit doing their reactions to Pentatonix on the Sing Off. It is pretty funny, Mitch covering eyes and tossing a bunch of "Oh Girl" and what was I doing around. And the discuss the dancing, and why they don't dance. But choreo was strongly encouraged on the show.
oh, don't worry - Avi's wave is iconic.
When you finish the sing-off performances, please react to Superfruit reacting to the PTX sing-off. Scott and Mitch point it out as well. ;)
I'd also recommend reacting to their return performances to the show in season 4 (I Need Your Love) and 5 (Holiday Medley).
Hey, like Avi said himself- the hips don't lie. LOL They matured a lot past this contest. They were young enough and care free enough to flounce it up. They're still good happy people, but obviously professional adults now.
I think shawn was commenting on her overall performance and the dress and sass she came out with overwhelmed his commentary. I don’t think you meant to be derogatory and it didn’t come off that way to me. So no worries from my house! It’s hard to get past the source music sometimes. And I like that you are honest but not disparaging. :) so good job
I'm with you on this! Am not a great fan of Brittany's music but I enjoyed PTX's take on it - I thought they did a great job. Thanks for sharing
I have laughed at Avi at the end everytime I have watched this video LOL
love your honesty
Next weeks performance is much better.
Oh, I found it and rewatched it. Thank
Kyle, dude, bro, my man... stop apologizing.... this is YOUR show!!! LOL, we're here, we're watching, we like. BTW, beard win today. And yes, Brit is not everyone's cup 'o tea... you still nailed the positives. (inserting golf clap).
What really amazed me is that Scott, Mitch and Kirsty where only 19 during the Sing Off
¡¡ Yeeii !! I love Ptx 💜✨
By the way Kyle, as soon as my tax return comes in I'm going to set aside part of it for 6 months of Patreon with you. Disabled because of cluster headaches myself but there is no one I would rather share my tax return with on youtube.
Wow, thank so you much for your generosity friend.
The second you mentioned Avi and his moves I knew you would lose it at the end with his hand 😂
This one wasn't my favorite either, they get better -- remember they were just building who they would become. You'll enjoy 10 and 12 a lot!
The next one was a really good one too, probably 3rd place by a hair to 10. 12 though, yeah!
I thought their 3rd best was #5!! Some might pick #11.
I can't believe this, but I can't remember what 11 was. Wow! I didn't know my memory had gotten that bad. I just really liked Born to be Wild because I always loved the song and I really loved what they did with it.
@@markbell4017 It was the mashup between Since U Been Gone and Forget You by Cee Lo Green.
Oh yeah, don't know how I forgot that. It was good.
You need to check out their documentary. Shows a good amount of their behind the scenes arranging and what not
11:00 I'm pretty sure a lot of Shawn's comments got edited out for time, sadly. They left in the schtick, and cut out the substance. :(
Interesting point. Upon watching them again it did seem to be an odd transition between his Kirsty comments and his wrap up. I wonder if they were edited 🤔
With the exception of the live final show, I believe it was all pre-recorded and then edited for time and "drama"/entertainment. As a result some of the better critique of the performances was probably cut in exchange for some of the things the producers thought the viewers would want more.
Ah! That makes a lot of sense. Sometimes the recaps would include criticisms that made me think "What? When the hell did the judge ever say that?"
Liked for the laugh 😂
I totally agree with you on Shawn's comment. I was always bummed as to how it came across.
PENTATONIX - ARRANGEMENT DEMONSTRATION@TIMESTALKS is a nice little video where PTX shows how they typically structure an arrangement. This does have Matt rather than Avi on bass. I don't know if that is too big a step forward in time for you.
There's a similar video with Avi: czcams.com/video/qLrvkEHWLlQ/video.html
Yep we know what you are talking about. The choreography is very funny and Mitch & Scott agree. I also would love to see you react to Superfruit watching their old sing-off performances after you have finished the sing-off run. I think the choreography was sort of required and they had a sing-off choreographer that worked with them. It is definitely not their strong point.
2:30 you should check out “ptx random singing/jamming on the fly” it’s great
13:00 agreed!
One of the more prominent videos that comes to mind when it comes to them arranging is them on their tour bus couple years ago putting together their cover of Happy. I strongly recommend watching Happy and then listening to them arranging it.
This is the link: czcams.com/video/DHAC95bWnig/video.html
It’s also worth mentioning that this video covers their more of their tour life.
I will ALWAYS respect honest opinions.
I thought this was them showing what has turned out to be a major skill they have in their bag of tricks to draw on and that is transitions. They are amazing at Transitions and mashups. It has become one of their claims to fame whether I like Britney or not you just gives me a little taste of what they can figure out and just a few weeks
The Avi photobomb is famous and you're not the only person that noticed it. That includes the other members of Pentatonix. And Avi's dancing... there's a saying. The hips don't lie. It is used in reference to Avi even by the man himself. I just liked the transitions and we all know Avi and Kevin are amazing but I also like hearing what the trio can do vocally that adds to the whole thing is Mitch does a lot of sfx. He adds a lot besides that golden throat of his. He also used to sing low all the time as he is a counter tenor and I think they used that fact as part of the strategy for winning this thing. You'll just have to watch and see what I mean later. Especially considering they auditioned with Lady Gaga's Telephone and Mitch does not stay in his lower range throughout that number.
you are never disrespectful. 😊 what I got from the comments on the dress were that she had to sell the pop sexy attitude and Kirstie had never taken on a role like that which is what it. was a role. And if you feel self-conscious it's hard to sell that kind of a role
For more of their process check out PTX vlogs
yea dont worry this was not one of my favs as well
You should check out Avi Kaplan & Peter Hollens - Black is the colour of my true love's hair. It's insane how beautiful it sounds
After you finish their Sing Off, you should check out Superfruit reacting to the old Sing Off performances. Scott and Mitch made about as much fun of this one as you did :D.
Avi has said in the past "his hips don't lie". lol I agree with the reaction. Some great transitions, but I'm not a Brittany fan either. Avi and Kevin - Yes! To me, the choreo seemed really forced in parts. Week 7 is probably one of my two favorites. :)
Honesty works…always.
You were wondering about the arrangement process? Well, while they were on their 2014 winter US tour, the had their first series of behind-the-scenes videos that they call PTXperience. In one ep, you can see them arranging their cover of Pharrell’s Happy: czcams.com/video/DHAC95bWnig/video.html . (BTW, there is an appearance of Lucky Charms marketing people-Pentatonix had a Lucky Charms commercial about that time: see here: czcams.com/video/SdNpQMlF4DA/video.html )
Not my favorite of theirs. I appreciate that you were still respectful and appreciative despite not loving the performance 👍🏽 And not many people catch Avi’s dance skills! You’re reaction was too funny. 🤣 Can’t wait for the next video!
I notice you haven't done any Pentatonix videos for some time, but in this video you asked specifically for a video of their process. At that time there was nothing out there, but last year they released the video of how they created the Evergreen album. It shows them in the studio creating the album. It's a bit longer-about 15 minutes, but well worth it. Also, why no more Pentatonix reactions? There is so much more to see!
I dunno. I kind of like this one. It's really the first time we got to see Kirstin take the lead. It's better than their OMG cover that comes later at least.
Greg Steele way better than their OMG cover
@@g2growcya I actually heard them do a much better version of the same song. They were on a radio program out of NYC. Morning Mash-up or something. They had a good interview, and they did OMG and Thrift Shop live in the studio. For some reason OMG sounded a lot tighter.
This was before Kirstie became comfortable with her body. Watch the Super Fruit reaction to their Sing Off performances--you laughed in the same sections. There was also tension over what the female judges wore....producers wanted sexier looks. I do not know if contestants got the same pressure.
You mentioned that Mitch is singing in a deeper voice here and he is. I cant remember exactly where I read it, but it is said that in the early days he held back a bit on his higher tones because of the stigma of being gay in the industry and the stereotypical insistence of men with higher voices. He does have as a countertenor a voice span of 6 octaves and 1 tone, from A1 to B7, which is ridiculous.
Strangely Mitch's voice has gotten higher as he has matured. Usually male voices get deeper.
I've heard he's always had a higher voice, but he hid it after high school because he was self conscious about it.
I'm not a Brittany fan either and this performance was not nearly one of my fave's. I also thought the sound was off on some of the mics for this one. Sounds like Kirsten's was turned up higher than the others at times. I do appreciate all those transitions but I thought this one was a bit of a mess. I can't wait for you to get further along. 10, 11, 12, OMG. Can't wait to see your reaction to those.
Kyle has a crush on Avi. Very, very, very cool. (we all do.)
You are spot on about Kirsti’s dress getting HigherIncomeJobs billing than her voice….
You should watch Superfruit reacts to Pentatonix on the Sing Off!!! It’s VERY funny!!
Shawn almost never said anything about Kirstie during the whole season until the end when the judges were speaking about each member of the group. I don't know what he had against her.
If you want to saw arrangements you need to watch the Making the Evergreen, is a short film when the were recording that album
Here are some videos about them arranging their songs:
* The whole process of arranging "Happy" (at 3:23): czcams.com/video/DHAC95bWnig/video.html
* Arranging "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (at 1:55): czcams.com/video/Xpik-DUzWlw/video.html
* A compilation of them recording/arranging: czcams.com/video/XbxPnbC9vnk/video.html
* A podcast of Ben Bram (their co-arranger, who won two Grammys with them) talking about how he and Pentatonix arrange together: player.fm/series/recording-a-cappella-with-danny-ozment/ben-bram-part-2-the-pentatonix-process
In the podcast, he mentions that during the "Sing-Off", except for "E.T." and a song in the finale (which wasn't part of the competition), Pentatonix arranged the songs themselves, with little help from him. It was important that they discovered their own sound by themselves. At the time Ben was the arranger for the show and he would help all the groups.
There are also two videos where they demonstrate how they typically do arrangements:
* "Can't Sleep Love" with Avi: czcams.com/video/qLrvkEHWLlQ/video.html
* "New Rules x Are You That Somebody" with Matt: czcams.com/video/iNaltxI5ut4/video.html
So they did a tour video on the way home that they went into all that stuff so I would check that out if you would like to see the song making process
Can't wait till you react to #10. And no I won't spoiler to you either.
if you like avi dance moves....i will post a link of him live in london
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
