    “If that’s strictly all their voices, that is stupid talented, like... that sounds incredible.”. YES. Only voices & hand claps & foot stomps. YES each member has a wide vocal range allowing for creative arrangements. YES they are incredible individually and together they are a powerhouse of sound! Only one band member change. Avi was the bass 2011-2016, Matt (heard here) since 2017. Hope you explore further. They all sing in Mary Did You Know? You might like their covers of Can’t Hold Us or Problem! They just released an original called Happy Now! Those of us that have followed their journey since they won the Sing Off in 2011 call ourselves Pentaholics! Welcome!

      @@SuffiReax The best way to make yourself believe that it's just their voices, you should check out some live performances! All their "Evolution of.." videos are filmed live in studio, they're famous for their medleys/mashups. They have tons of original music too, there's a video called Pentatonix popspring performance 2016, it's got four songs and the sound mixing was perfect to show how in sync they really are. Glad you're on this journey, subbed and looking forward to more PTX reactions!

    Welcome to the pentaholic family! A quick run down of the group. Scott, tall blonde, he’s the baritone, Kirstin, or kirsty (rhymes with thirsty) is the mezzo soprano. Mitch, is the counter tenor, the one with the mullet shown here. Kevin is the beat boxer/cellist/tenor. Matt is the bass shown in this video (2017 to present). The old bass left for family reasons, his name is avi. (He has some great solo stuff out now).
    The trio, Scott Mitch and kirsty have all been friends since high school and Scott and Mitch have been best friends since the age of 10. They went on the sing off at 19 adding in avi and Kevin last minute. They ended up winning the show at 19 y/o. (Mitch missed his graduation to tryout for the show). After that, their record label dropped them and they were on there own. They have now won three Grammys for three different songs and have countless platinum albums. The three Grammy songs are Daft Punk, Dance of the sugar plum fairy, and Jolene ft. Dolly Parton. Also, Scott and Mitch have a side project called super fruit you should check out too.
    One more thing, since you are entering the a cappella world, there’s 2 other groups you should check out. They are home free, and voice play.
    Great reaction!

      @@SuffiReax One of the great things about Pentatonix is that they are all just really nice down-to-earth people who are very open and appreciative of their fans. With the Sing Off win they won a $250,000 prize and a contract with Sony, however Sony dropped them within a couple of weeks because they basically did not know how to market A ccapella. The group refused to give up and turned to You Tube, quickly putting out several vids and building on their fanbase from the Sing Off. Then a friend with a little more know how helped them put together the vid for Daft Punk - they recorded it in a closet and shot it in a kitchen at one of their houses, all for $400. And they won their first Grammy. They were quickly signed to a new record label and were given free reign to continue promoting themselves as they was fit. It's probably not apparent when reacting to their music videos like this but they have a number of behind the scene type videos as well that really let the fans into who they are. PTXperience vlogs, making of type videos, twitter and instagram postings, and just some funny song vids they had fun with like Gangnam Style with bloopers, or when Kirstin got together with Mitch and Scott on Superfruit to do a Frozen Medley. They are not afraid to let their fans see them being, well, human! There are a lot of celebs out there who could take lessons from PTX on fan interactions. It was quite sad when Avi decided to leave the group - there's a vid for that too where he tearfully explains his reasons and all the others are there to support him. And he helped them find their new base, Matt. They've worked very hard to get where they are but their success has not gone to their heads. It's just one more reason we love them.

    Of course, they recorded the audio in a studio, but it was all done acapella (without instruments). Their beatboxer made all the percussion sounds with just his voice and body. Although he didn't sing in this video, he does sing sometimes with a nice tenor voice.

    Very basic introduction for Pentatonix(PTX) members,
    Matt(white jacket)---bass, singing bass line most of time. He went high in this one, but you could tell he 's bass from the '...souND of SILENNNNCE'😂.
    Kirstin(the female)---mezzo-soprano, she went low in this one, usually her voice sounds sweet and bright. She changes her looks quite often.
    Scott(tall blond)---baritone, he also went quite low in this one, he usually more sounds like a tenor. He'll cover the bass line when bass is singing the lead.
    Mitch(dark hair with high voice)---tenor/counter tenor, he's at upper harmony in this song, and you will hear his stunning high notes from other songs. He changes his looks a lot too.
    Kevin(on the far right with black suit)---beat boxer/tenor, Kevin's super talented and can play multiple instruments. You'll see him play the cello and beat boxing at the time in some ptx songs, he doesn't have many leads because he usually busy at keeping the beats going.
    Pentatonix have won 3 Grammys so far. They recently released an new EP 'at home' and a new original song called 'happy now'.

You should definitely check that one out, they capture the "toxic relationship" feel of the song without the disturbing visuals that bothered you in Billie's original.

    1. They all have solo-quality voices (no "passenger" members; Kevin the beatboxer has a good tenor voice and did sing here in the choir bits between verses, but didn't get a solo as he does in some of their other songs) and yet they blend into a perfect unity.
    2. They have mad genius for creative and effective arrangements that make the most of their resources. You have a lot of fun ahead of you if you continue with them, as well as an increase in subscribers.

    They are stupid talented; yes that is only their voices. Thank you for the review. Kevin is beatboxer primarily but does sing on occasion. Middle guy--Scott--is not the bass. Bass--Matt--was on left in white jacket. Mitch was small guy in black; he sings tenor but in this song he sang much lower. Kirsten is mezzo-soprano and was right in her range but a bit low. Scott in middle has a wide range but primarily baritone and a bit higher but also can do a bit lower and cover for bass when bass is singing elsewhere. Try out Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody for Pentatonix. Or try out something different like their cover of Gold (Kiara). Finally, Kevin the beatboxer is truly amazing. React to his cover of Down (Marian Hill).

    Yes, it is only their voices (they have a good beatboxer). They have several recordings where they simply sit in front of microphones and sing (e.g. Kiara Gold cover, all their Evolution videos - of Rihanna, of Ariana Grande, of Michael Jackson and so on). There are some professional quality live performance records: MTV with several songs, also Hallelujah live - though both of these are from the time when band had initial members - now 1 guy (the dark guy that sang third) had changed a previous bass guy (white guy with black beard). Fan recordings from concerts not always that high quality, unfortunately - mostly due to the phones that were used for recording.

    Old Simon & Garfunkel fan from way back in the day, and I loved the song back then. I also love both the Disturbed and Pentatonix covers for different reasons. The PTX harmonies are amazing, but I do give Disturbed the slight edge because David Draiman does the best job of anyone I've heard, either original or cover, of truly capturing the darkness of the lyrics. I could listen to either (or both) version(s) on a loop all day though.

    • @SuffiReax
      @SuffiReax  Před 3 lety

      I completely agree, both versions are incredible for similar as well as different reasons but like you, Disturbed is still my favorite because of how well he captures the intensity and seriousness of the song. Both are incredible though and I thoroughly enjoyed each.

    Kevin, the gentleman in the black suit, does sing in some of the songs Pentatonix does. However, if you'd really like to hear his voice, he has a number of solo videos out as well, and they are amazing.
    I love it when people question weather or not all of the sounds they're hearing are made by the folks in the group. Some of the other Pentaholics get a bit upset about people doing that, but I take is as a compliment to the group. If you're questioning weather or not the sounds you're hearing are made by the people you see on the screen then they've done exactly what they set out to do. They've made those sounds so like what they were trying to mimic you can't tell the difference. However, I have a fun one for you. Since everyone has suggested you check out " Hallelujah " I would ask that you go one small step further. DO check out the official video...but also, in the same reaction video, check out the live version they did for their Christmas special. I think you'll enjoy hearing the song done almost exactly the same recorded in studio as live.
    Weather or not you decide to do the double reaction, thank you for doing THIS reaction. It's always a lot of fun tagging along on someone else's journey into Pentatonix.

    • @SuffiReax
      @SuffiReax  Před 3 lety +1

      He is such an extremely talented man, I would love to hear his solo work.
      And yes! I agree, if they make the sounds and noises sound so close to the actual thing that someone has to ask "Is that actually them?" then they have done their job! And they did it marvelously.
      Hallelujah I have very high up on my list cause that is one of my all time favorite songs, so I am hoping to be able to do it soon and when I do I will try to remember the live version as well :)
      Thanks for watching!!

    Welcome to the world of Pentatonix! Do you know the original version by Simon and Garfunkel? It was first an acoustic song and then their producer asked them to do an electric version & it was a hit. That is the version I grew up on. Pentatonix honors that version and does an amazing job modernizing it without loosing the original emotion.

  • @wanita7025

    i think preference for ptx or disturb would be your emotional place when you hear it. Simon and Garfunkle is warning, Disturb's is anger that warning wasn't listened to whereas PTX is hopeful warning will still be heeded. I Know i got goosebumps from both songs.

    Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. They have 3 Grammies, one for their "Daft Punk Medley", one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies", and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Will the Circle be Unbroken" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).

    The guy they skipped is Kevin and he is the one who is thier "instruments" he does sing to. Matt (the guy in the white coat) is thier bass. The guy you thought was the bass is Scott. He normally sing britone, Mitch was the guy next to Scott who is falsetto and the female is Kirsti. This song was the first time Scott hit those low notes that I know of. Kevin has played cello once or twice since that is impossible to beat box. One team up that I like was Mille Cyrus and Dolly Parton doing Jolen. "White Winter Hymnal" has their original bass (Avi) and was a huge hit among school choirs. Kevin also has his own YT channel under KO.

    The beatboxer does sing sometimes. He also plays the cello. Listen to shallow you will hear him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time. Kevin sings on Imagine and Mary did you know. If you want to really hear him beatboxing his heart out listen to Daft Punk. There are no instruments it is all the their voices. They won a Grammy for Daft Punk. It was made on $400 in a closet and the kitchen on an iPad. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy also won them a Grammy and you can really hear the different ranges of the singers the same with love again which is an original. About a month ago they released happy now which is an original. Just keep diving into their catalog.

    I love to see first timer Pentatonix reactions because us pentaholics always lead you down the rabbit hole and I’ve never seen anyone come out the other end not being a pentaholic when they are done. Lol so a few iconic ones to react to that probably will also get you the most traffic as they are in general fan favorites are first and foremost hallelujah close behind this one is bohemian Rhapsody both these songs were praised by the writer and first singer of the hallelujah song and by band member of queen as the best covers ever. It’s probably the top one with the most views. Then there’s aha Singapore live, daft punk, (there original song) love again, Mary did you know and imagine. They have a couple Christmas albums and this is what they first were really known for. There’s a few secondary songs but still just as epic like the dances with sugar plumb fairy’s I think it’s called. No lyrics but the video is epic. There’s also say something and several more new ones I haven’t even gotten to but ppl seem to love. In all honesty though while these are the top ones just about any reaction for them will be popular and I have yet to hear a song from them that was like it’s ok lol they just make masterpieces.

People don’t really realize how epic her vocals are if they only knew her from her early pop music or radio songs. She’s a powerhouse vocalist but also connects with her music emotionally often and many of her songs have deep stories from her addiction and problems with her father before he passed. Her fans are also hella loyal and seek out ppl who go down a Demi hole but for now PTX with your other reactions will be a lot as is lol can’t wait to see them unfold!

    Kevin is amazing as a beatboxer, and when he sings, his voice matches his beatboxing. Mitch, next to Kevin has an incredible range of 6-octave and 1 note, A1 - B7, Kevin is a multi-talented, beatboxer, cellist, rapper, record producer, singer, and songwriter. Each of the others are multi-talented as well. I personally like both versions by Pentatonix and Disturbed equally, the blending of Pentatonix and the grittiness of Disturbed.
