Saying that the group "met" the day before their audition for The Sing Off is something of a misnomer. In reality, they only met Kevin (the beatboxer) the day before the audition. Avi (the original bass singer) had met them a few days earlier. Scott, Mitch & Kirstie had known each other since they were children, performing in youth musical theater together in their hometown of Arlington, Texas. They later went to high school together and sang in the school choir, where they formed an a cappella group called The Trio, which was later the basis for Pentatonix.
Pentatonix are always riveting to watch. There's SO much going on,... everyone is busy all the time, leading the vocal, creating harmonies, adding sound effects. They have such a variety of musical backgrounds and training, so their inspiration comes from all sorts of different directions. Happy to share more PTX with you. Great reactions.
Brilliant, it was an error but did make us chuckle when we spotted it.... glad to see a handle of comments mentioning it as well :) Thanks for watching Anjalena.... be sure to hit subscribe so you don't miss our future vids :)
@@BritPopsReact Oh I subbed when I first started the video. I'm one of those weird ones that always hits Like because if I've stopped by a creator's home, I feel a Like is an acknowledgement, respect and even a type of payment to that creator for the time and effort that they expended to create and post that piece of art, for free, for me to view. I'd love to be able to give support through Patreon but I'm one of those really poor Americans (I'm not starving or on the street though so bully for me, right?😉). And unless it's a channel I know I won't have interest in coming back to later, I also always subscribe to reaction channels. It's the only way I know to consistently give back. So thank you for your time and the fun reaction. Hope you guys keep coming back to PTX and Dimash because they're worth your time. Very hard working singers who've been studying music most of their lives. I watch British telly quite a bit so I feel a kinship to my Brit brothers and sisters. I'm still trying to pin down accents and where they're from in England. I think Manchester and London (cockney like Danny Dyer) are the only two I recognize yet. Where are you guys from? Cheerio, mates! 👍💕🇬🇧🇺🇲
@Anjalena Ahh, what a great follow up comment. We appreciate your support and for us, it;s just good enough to get a comment like yours and hope you enjoy what we do and check out more of our content. We don't ask for anything and we don't even have a Patreon account, we do this for the fun and finding new music and artists. We go all over the place and only get record reactions once or twice a week, so it may seem a long time bfore we come back to some of the ones we have done previously. Although we do have a Dimash coming soon. Thanks for taking the time to watch our channel and support in the best way you can, by getting involved. We are both from the South of England although were are 150 miles apart. Cheers me dears and come back soon!! 👍
🌟PENTATONIX IS BRILLIANT!!!! a LOT of school choirs, A capella groups ect.... from ALL AROUND the world have "covered" PENTATONIX's covers and or original songs!! EXCITED for you to hear MORE PENTATONIX!!!🌟
Great suggestions. For original song "Love Again", it would be nice if they would react to the official video and then to the live version of them performing it for an interviewer after an interview for 24/7. Links: Official video: th-cam.com/video/F80FsZDTgn0/w-d-xo.html , Live for 24/7: th-cam.com/video/GyRiez6UKAI/w-d-xo.html
I’m about 500 videos in and I’m still in awe of what PTX and their team can do! Amazing talent combined with passion and extremely hard work. They are the best!! Thanks for reacting to the a capella GOATs!
They really are so creative, and they really do sound just as good live. It’s mind blowing. I’m so happy you did this reaction! Edit: 100% recommend their cover of Mad World.
Kevin is a machine! They all are such perfectionists. There are a lot of hours of rehearsal in everyone of their production. They have a high respect for smart, sophisticated arrangements and highlighting what every one of them can bring to the game. I never get tired of listening to them. 🤗
Great reaction as usual! I'm happy to hear you wanna do more of them, no matter which song you'll pick, you won't be disappointed. "Run to you" is a beautiful original.. 😊
@PTX Lover68 Thank you for your comment and for watching. We are having fun with PTX and have so much more to look forward to. Thank you for the support.
"Run to you" is an original that is magnificent. It reaches places in your soul that you couldn't even imagine and you really need to experience it! REF is another one I LOVE. Such a great original and because it doesnt have a video it gets ignored by reaction channels 😑
And may I suggest doing a double play for Hallelujah? The official video first because the location they film from is absolutely stunning and adds to the emotion of the song. Then the live version so you can see how truly amazing they sound without any studio production.
You should definitely check out some of their performances on The Sing Off. They were just starting out. I recommend Let's Get it On, Dog Days are Over, and Video Killed The Radio Star.
The Trio (Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin) grew up together and have know each other since age 8. The 5 (add Avi and Kevin) only became "Pentatonix" a couple days before The Singoff competition which required at least 5 members to compete and history was made!
Nice part of this video--they are not jumping all over with the visuals! When they do the shot of the whole group--you can figure out what they all bring to the song---they are just amazing!
Thank you for picking one of my absolute favourites of their originals to react to! And yes, you are in for a whole world of treats with some of their major favourites. As well as Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody, there's The Sound of Silence, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Can't Hold Us, Radioactive (featuring Lindsey Stirling) and a whole load more. They have Ben Bram as their (unseen) sixth member, who helps with all the arranging of their songs. I heard an interview with Kevin where he described their process; he said they all sit down together and throw out loads of suggestions for songs to cover, and when they find one they all agree has potential, they try out different things to see what works, and then Ben helps them to formalise it into a proper arrangement. He said there have been a few songs they've tried to cover but they just couldn't get it to sound the way they wanted it to sound - the way he put it was that they couldn't get it to work in a way that 'still sounded like them' - but they can usually nail most of them with enough work.
9.8!! Ha! I love how you don't want to be predictable or anything, but you just can't help giving it an almost 10! That's brill. And yeah, I've been a fan for 10 years and I'm STILL in awe so I would say get used to it! Love that you chose both an original and a live at once. And I wasn't expecting more PTX from you so quickly, so thank you! Lastly, Mad World is SUPER awesome. Can't wait for that one from you! Edit! Forgot to add that Scott, Mitch and Kirstie have known each other since the age of 8-11 (depending which source is correct). They were friends and school mates. Avi and Kevin joined them to compete in the sing off.
@EnderOllie 4 Thanks for the great comment, and the scores are just for a little fun, we have no right to judge these guys as they are all very talented. We like to have a bit of fun and if people like to join in that's great too. We appreciate the support and thanks for watching
Nice reaction guys! Hallelujah has both an official video ( 600+ million views) and a live version from one of their Christmas specials. You could do a back to back comparison if you like. If you want to see a video with Kirstin as lead singer checkout their cover of Say Something. As a bonus in that one, you also get to see Kevin Celloboxing. That’s where he plays cello and beat boxes at the same time.
Love your reaction. Just an FYI Mitch and Scott have a youtube channel called Superfruit and they do several medleys as well. They are hilarious- you two gents might enjoy.
Their incredible arrangements are among their strongest abilities, whether the song be an original or a cover. We Pentaholics feel that ALL of their covers are "upgrades" to the originals. High on my request list for you to do would be Imagine. That one will tear at your heartstrings as well as blow your mind with the section that focuses on harmonies.
Glad to see you digging into their originals! This original is on their latest album The Lucky Ones celebrating PTX’s first decade together. For several of those years Scott & Mitch had a side channel called Superfruit (which also has amazing music, not acapella) so Coffee in Bed was a nod to their work with them having the shared lead & harmonies they do so effortlessly together.
Even though their Hallelujah video is the most viewed, I prefer the live performance for their Christmas Special. Some reactors do both to compare them. I'm really enjoying your discovering PTX.
If you’re wanting to see what they do in studio and then live with the same song, here’s an idea, a double reaction of “Come Along” Official Video studio recording & then follow with a live performance complete with correo & huge screen! Come Along Pentatonix The World Tour (Sara’s N channel) 5/14/2019 (fan cam) When a cell phone picks up their harmonies so well, you can only imagine what its like to attend a concert!!!
When you do Hallelujah, please react to their live version in front of an audience for their Christmas special. You will be astounded! Side note: that "are they really doing that?" thought never goes away!
Check out the early videos done in stairwells. Recorded with single mike and only effect being the sound of the stairwell. But best challenge to you is to look at their whole list of songs and choose one that you really dislike the original version, and after you see PTX version you will love it. PTX originals I think are better than their covers. Less known song Water is a great example of Kirsten 's voice.
You both are a joy to watch! Thank you for jumping into the rabbit hole we call PTX!!! Cannot wait to see your reactions to their MANY, MANY videos in their TH-cam channel.
PTX makes it a point that they can sing live anything they put out; no autotune, maybe a little mixing to be sure a part is up where it needs to be but they are so experienced and IN TUNE with each other in every sense of the word it's amazing. Add in that they have five world class singing voices and are such good friends they can share the spotlight... They are completely original. And they are meticulous in their work, arrangement, videos, everything. Yes do watch some Superfruit (which is not acapella) and Kevin Olusala solo work (Down, cover). If you kkeep watching Pentaholix will flock to the channel. I'm thoroughly enjoying your reactions to them.
Evolution of Ariana Grande must be next! (Evolution of Rihanna is great too.) It shows off each of their amazing voices in a simple, studio setting. You’ll find yourself wanting them to do a full cover of each song because it’s that good!! 😍
Hi guys OMGOSH I’m delighted you have now seen a live performance, aren’t they brilliant, you can now see why there videos have so many views and millions of fans. There aren’t many bands out there that could sound that good without Instruments, the fans really appreciate how hard they work to get the sound perfect. They would never release a song that they couldn’t sing as close to exactly the same live on stage. Thank you so much for sharing this video xxxx
@Elaine Howard Thank you for the lovely comment, we did not want to be too predictable and go straight for the big numbers and it's only fair that we should also listen to their own work to get a taste of what they like also. This was a very classy song and well put together, we would certainly listen to it again and again. We can of course see the talent on display and appreciate that they do this all live. We will return with another PTX soon, where will we go next? hummmm..
@Celia Christman Thank you for the comment, we enjoyed their original song and would like to hear more of those too. We will of course get to the big covers, but it's nice to see what they like to write. Thank you for watching.
Since you liked this so well....check out "New Rules / Are You That Somebody"; it's amazing how they mash the two songs and the sounds that they make....INCREDIBLE !!
@Nick Roberts Thank you for the recommendation. We do enjoy Pentatonix very much and it's nice to see their other songs too, before we get to the big ones as they say. thanks for watching.
Musical geniuses, each one of them. Avi and Matt's tones are so different but both are beautiful in their own way. Avi's bass is booming and he blew out speakers but Matt's is chill like you hear in this one. Its good to remember too that the rhythm section is all Kevin and Matt. No instruments aside from their voices in this performance. Would not be the same without them. The trio is always top notch. They are so in sync and the harmonies are stunning. Than you for your reaction. If you would like to do another live performance please do Hallelujah from the Christmas Special 2016 th-cam.com/video/haFHrfmfHbc/w-d-xo.html The video is beautiful though with more than 615 million views and they sound the same whether filmed or live. Great reaction!
There are videos and covers, but there are old originals of theirs like Water and See Through, that absolutely beautiful but don't have videos. Please don't lose out on hearing those 2 songs, also, maybe do a 2 in 1 PTX audio reaction vid if these two. Thanks guys.
You guys are terrific reactors and you're in for a journey with them....Keep up the great work. One little "criticism"...your Caption shows pantatonix, it's pentatonix
@Nick Roberts Hello and thank you for the kind feeback. Ahh, yes that would have been me (on the right) Sorry, it does show you are watching, did we do that on purpose, hummmm? Thanks for the support, we appreciate it.
If you want to see them doing live and knowing that there is no production react to the video of them singing at an airport or their Daft Punk mix live performance
for other live songs check out Hallelujah (Live version at a concert), Aha (Singapore Vista - fan cam so not the best sound, but OMG! What a show), any of their early covers done in one take (Gold, No, evolution videos...) New Years Day (an original song sung on stage for a New Years Day show)... Thrift Shop (fan cam taken at an airport gate (!) good quality sound).....
Scott & Mitch had a side gig as "Superfruit" and did stuff on youtube. They put out an album (non-acapella) and I don't know why some of it didn't go top 40 with serious radio play. Their "Bad For Us" is just pop ear candy. So impressive.
The heavy hitters will get notice, but their lighter pieces are joyful, too - and a nice reprieve from the angst of some of those. Try the covers of "Can't Hold Us" or Kiiara's "Gold", or La La Latch - live here th-cam.com/video/5WjI5Ykg4yE/w-d-xo.html
Like you Guys are genuine. Very English 😄 Makes us remember going over there to see section of shows,🎤 Ohhh and the Brits Cream Teas are awesome 🍵. We're enjoying your channel 💯this tune was awesome 🎼 Thanks for the useful knowledge, Never heard of them before until you guys put them on your channel . 🎸
I realize you are hesitant in reacting to another Bohemian Rhapsody, but have you ever heard it from a "Harmony" group? Your reactions are so genuine and enjoyable to watch, I'd strongly recommend you checking Pentatonix's version of Queen. You won't be disappointed, if fact, you may say it's a just tribute to Freddie and his genius.
@K • Thank you for the comment, we do try not to do all the big songs right away and take little detours. We do need to do another PTX reaction and will do that in our next recording session. Hope you enjoy some of our other reactions too.
@Frankie O'Hagan Thanks for watching. Who said we misspelled it 😛 Thanks for the comment and if you stick around you may get to know us and our "Brit Humour" It got you to comment. Cheers
Please react to "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", Be My Eyes, Wizard of Ahhs".....by Pentatonix.......all amazing!! Thanks.....love you guys' reactions to PTX......
✌️ please check out Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May tweeted the video & said check these is out or something similar. Another option - they performed in front of an orchestra live in a Star Wars tribute introduced by Harrison Ford. It’s just them on stage in front of a huge industry audience. You mentioned Hallelujah. The official PTX video is impressive & gorgeously shot but there’s also a live version performed on one of their Christmas specials. It’s even more impressive. Evolutions are a great choice because they’re stripped down. Also their cover of Gold. It’s live recorded with them all sitting on a couch. So much to choose from so have fun
Great Reaction as Usual!!!! Please check out Their Covers of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, "Imagine" by John Lennon, & " Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John!!!!
@Christie Eldridge Thank you for the comment, we will get to the big hitters soon, we like to be a little different and look at the other songs and video too. Thanks for watching
@Dan Ellwein Ahh, we probably just had a brain freeze, we only do these in one take and no rehearsal. What comes out is how it was recorded, mistakes and all. 🤣 At least you were paying attention. Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact , Another very fair reaction. Just got this an hour ago. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. I feel like my music education just went up 100 notches! Well done, again, sirs.
@Debbie Lewis These guys are great and very talented, it's hard to take in just what is going on. We will do more Pentatonix soon. Thanks for the comment and great to hear you are enjoying yourself.
For comparison listen to the official video And you'll see that they do not sound different at all. The same as true for when you get to hallelujah. A handful of reactors doing to in 1 reaction 1st the official video then the live version from a Pentatonix Christmas holiday special. They have a video for a song entitled sing which is an original song
Just jumping on here to ask if you don’t mind, adding Shoshana Bean and Scott Hoying (PTX) singing “All to Me” to your long list of subscriber recommendations. Ta very much! 🙂
@Faith Reasons Hello and good evening to you. Just finishing off another days comments and came across yours, you have been with us for a while now, witnessed some up's and downs (move on) and always had a fun comment to keep us going. You know us well by now and what we sort of do, so if you have something to request, we are sure it will be for us. It's on the long list, but we may bump it up a bit. Just so long as it's not American Pie. Take care, have a great day and let's see where we next, ohhhh Metal Monday's not sure you join us on those but Tuesday may be more your style. Catch up soon!!
@@BritPopsReact Lol! American Pie. Don't worry, won't go there. Hee hee! Thank you so much. I saw the titles on your Metal Monday and thought if I watch Slipknot, I would have to spend the rest of the week in prayer. That kind of Metal is definitely not my thing but you have lots of other great stuff to choose from. Have a lovely day both!
@Faith Reasons That's perfectly fine we appreciate the ones you do watch. To be fair we were quite surprised, it was actually quite a heavy rock song and no naughty words. So fair play to the guys, they just give the impression they would not be "our cup of tea" but turns out we quite enjoyed it. You take care out there!!
This is not really my cup of tea... ;) Some of the original songs are nice, but a little on the trivial side (like this one and the slightly lovelier "Love Me When I Don't") and they are mostly not what I look for in a PTX song. I like "The Lucky Ones" for the story it tells, "Happy Now" for the rhythm, but my favourite from this album is "A Little Space". And I do not really like these so called live performances which are basically versions produced for a show. I understand it - but it's not live...
@scott boyd You should have had a "Coffee in Bed" 😀 No worries, that's the way we do it here, more a review than shocked faces. Thanks for trying us anyway... Cheers
![BABYMONSTER - 'DRIP' M/V REACTION [WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS!!!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/t0Lpgr1jo3Y/mqdefault.jpg)
Wish I could remember who said it "Pentatonix doesn't do covers, they do upgrades!" and I agree!
You can't go wrong with anything Pentatonix.
So true 😊❤🔥
Saying that the group "met" the day before their audition for The Sing Off is something of a misnomer. In reality, they only met Kevin (the beatboxer) the day before the audition. Avi (the original bass singer) had met them a few days earlier. Scott, Mitch & Kirstie had known each other since they were children, performing in youth musical theater together in their hometown of Arlington, Texas. They later went to high school together and sang in the school choir, where they formed an a cappella group called The Trio, which was later the basis for Pentatonix.
Sound of Silence is amazing, but also La La Latch, Can’t Hold Us Down, and can You Feel The Love Tonight. Honestly everything they do it’s brilliant
Check out Kevin Olusola the beat boxer from Pentatonix doing a solo cover of Marian Hill’s - Down, to be seriously impressed by his talent.
Couldn't agree more!
Yes! Must watch! His talent is phenomenal.
If you want a super catchy original by PTX, Happy Now will be stuck in your head for days! And the video is excellent.
"Sing" is another feel great original and the video includes loads of their fans. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
@Bridget Haines
Thank you for the comment and we should not overlook the originals too.
We will be back with more soon.
@Jskew
Thank you for the comment
@@BritPopsReact please watch PopSpring 2016, 3 originals and evolution of Michael Jackson, all live!!!

They have such a variety of musical backgrounds and training, so their inspiration comes from all sorts of different directions. Happy to share more PTX with you. Great reactions.
Pick any video from PTX, heck watch em all… but you’ll never not be blown away by them 🤣 best group ever ✌️
truth!
One of the best live performances is "popspring" 3 original songs and the Michael jackson medley NOT TO BE MISSED !!

Big rabbit hole to go down,hallelujah live from a Christmas show is exactly like the official video, have fun.
I am SO glad you've found PENTATONIX! They are very creative and it's a VERY deep rabbit hole! One of my favorites is GOLD!
I watched the original, hated it and watched the PTX version. Loads better. All done with voices, original needed machinery.
They really are so creative, and they really do sound just as good live. It’s mind blowing. I’m so happy you did this reaction! Edit: 100% recommend their cover of Mad World.

Thank you for your comment and for watching.
We are having fun with PTX and have so much more to look forward to.
Thank you for the support.
And somewhere in the TH-cam universe there is a live concert version of Run To You
"Run to you" is an original that is magnificent. It reaches places in your soul that you couldn't even imagine and you really need to experience it!
REF is another one I LOVE. Such a great original and because it doesnt have a video it gets ignored by reaction channels 😑
REF is great. I also love Water and wish more would react to them.
@@berlyn3014 yes absolutely agree 👍 so many GREAT tracks that get ignored which is a shame but, at least people react to PTX 🙂

They have always set a high standard for themselves. They continue to produce great music.
John Lennon’s Imagine. Is fabulous. An older one still with Avi. Another is “Somebody that I used to know” by Gotye, also with Avi

They have Ben Bram as their (unseen) sixth member, who helps with all the arranging of their songs. I heard an interview with Kevin where he described their process; he said they all sit down together and throw out loads of suggestions for songs to cover, and when they find one they all agree has potential, they try out different things to see what works, and then Ben helps them to formalise it into a proper arrangement. He said there have been a few songs they've tried to cover but they just couldn't get it to sound the way they wanted it to sound - the way he put it was that they couldn't get it to work in a way that 'still sounded like them' - but they can usually nail most of them with enough work.
They have 2 amazing live performances you should react to. Hallelujah Live Christmas Special and Aha! Live at the Star Vista Singapore.
9.8!! Ha! I love how you don't want to be predictable or anything, but you just can't help giving it an almost 10! That's brill.

If you’re wanting to see what they do in studio and then live with the same song, here’s an idea, a double reaction of “Come Along” Official Video studio recording & then follow with a live performance complete with correo & huge screen! Come Along Pentatonix The World Tour (Sara’s N channel) 5/14/2019 (fan cam) When a cell phone picks up their harmonies so well, you can only imagine what its like to attend a concert!!!
Same can be said of "Aha" video and live at Singapore! Amazing!!
GREAT reaction gentlemen
When you do Hallelujah, please react to their live version in front of an audience for their Christmas special. You will be astounded! Side note: that "are they really doing that?" thought never goes away!
Love your reactions. I'll be here for the next one!
@Sylvia Wagers
Thank you, we appreciate the support.
Some of my favs: Havana, New Year's Day, Cheerleader, Can You Feel the Love Tonight?, Imagine, any of these would be wonderful next songs to review!
When you see the live version of Hallelujah you'll not be able to tell the difference between the recurring
Oh and just for info, this song was written by Mitch and like everything they do arranged by group efforts.
Pentatonix is AMAZING 💕
@graciela duarte
Hello and thank you for your comment, the are indeed AMAZING.
Thank you for watching and more from Pentatonix soon.
Check out the early videos done in stairwells. Recorded with single mike and only effect being the sound of the stairwell. But best challenge to you is to look at their whole list of songs and choose one that you really dislike the original version, and after you see PTX version you will love it. PTX originals I think are better than their covers. Less known song Water is a great example of Kirsten 's voice.
Oh, gosh, if you are going to watch Hallelujah, please watch the live version on their TV special of five or so years ago. You will be amazed.
You both are a joy to watch! Thank you for jumping into the rabbit hole we call PTX!!! Cannot wait to see your reactions to their MANY, MANY videos in their TH-cam channel.
PTX makes it a point that they can sing live anything they put out; no autotune, maybe a little mixing to be sure a part is up where it needs to be but they are so experienced and IN TUNE with each other in every sense of the word it's amazing. Add in that they have five world class singing voices and are such good friends they can share the spotlight... They are completely original. And they are meticulous in their work, arrangement, videos, everything. Yes do watch some Superfruit (which is not acapella) and Kevin Olusala solo work (Down, cover). If you kkeep watching Pentaholix will flock to the channel.
I'm thoroughly enjoying your reactions to them.
Next LEVEL! They are truly amazing!
Evolution of Ariana Grande must be next! (Evolution of Rihanna is great too.) It shows off each of their amazing voices in a simple, studio setting. You’ll find yourself wanting them to do a full cover of each song because it’s that good!! 😍
@Carrie Kovach
Yes indeed, all the Evolution ones sound fun.
We should get to some of those soon.
Stay tuned
Hi guys OMGOSH I’m delighted you have now seen a live performance, aren’t they brilliant, you can now see why there videos have so many views and millions of fans. There aren’t many bands out there that could sound that good without Instruments, the fans really appreciate how hard they work to get the sound perfect. They would never release a song that they couldn’t sing as close to exactly the same live on stage. Thank you so much for sharing this video xxxx
@Elaine Howard
Thank you for the lovely comment, we did not want to be too predictable and go straight for the big numbers and it's only fair that we should also listen to their own work to get a taste of what they like also.
This was a very classy song and well put together, we would certainly listen to it again and again.
We can of course see the talent on display and appreciate that they do this all live.
We will return with another PTX soon, where will we go next? hummmm..
Yes, please do Mad World! I also love that song and of course Pentatonix blows it out of the water as always. I'm excited for your guys reaction!
@Kaleigh Field
Thank you for the comment, we will be back soon with more from PTX
Kiara ....Gold
Yes, this one - but watch at least a part of the original artist first - that way you see just how good PTX are in covering this song.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I think this live sounds better than the recorded and there’s no changing my mind. Fantastic.
Thank you for your reaction. I enjoyed it. "Run to You" another original...try it out!
@Celia Christman
Thank you for the comment, we enjoyed their original song and would like to hear more of those too.
We will of course get to the big covers, but it's nice to see what they like to write.
Thank you for watching.
Could their collective Song Treatment be called: "Pentafied"?
Awesome reaction! Thank you so much
@Laura D
Thank you for the comment, we appreciate it too.
Run to you is an original you would luv. Slow and intense !
Since you liked this so well....check out "New Rules / Are You That Somebody"; it's amazing how they mash the two songs and the sounds that they make....INCREDIBLE !!
@Nick Roberts
Thank you for the recommendation.
We do enjoy Pentatonix very much and it's nice to see their other songs too, before we get to the big ones as they say.
thanks for watching.
Musical geniuses, each one of them. Avi and Matt's tones are so different but both are beautiful in their own way. Avi's bass is booming and he blew out speakers but Matt's is chill like you hear in this one. Its good to remember too that the rhythm section is all Kevin and Matt. No instruments aside from their voices in this performance. Would not be the same without them. The trio is always top notch. They are so in sync and the harmonies are stunning. Than you for your reaction. If you would like to do another live performance please do Hallelujah from the Christmas Special 2016 th-cam.com/video/haFHrfmfHbc/w-d-xo.html The video is beautiful though with more than 615 million views and they sound the same whether filmed or live. Great reaction!
There are videos and covers, but there are old originals of theirs like Water and See Through, that absolutely beautiful but don't have videos. Please don't lose out on hearing those 2 songs, also, maybe do a 2 in 1 PTX audio reaction vid if these two. Thanks guys.
Love this Song!! And once again. Love y'all reaction
Kirstie, Scott and Mitch have known each other since primary school.
You guys are terrific reactors and you're in for a journey with them....Keep up the great work. One little "criticism"...your Caption shows pantatonix, it's pentatonix
@Nick Roberts
Hello and thank you for the kind feeback.
Ahh, yes that would have been me (on the right)
Sorry, it does show you are watching, did we do that on purpose, hummmm?
Thanks for the support, we appreciate it.
Please please react to both studio/video version of hallelujah and the live version…they sound exactly the same!! X
If you want to see them doing live and knowing that there is no production react to the video of them singing at an airport or their Daft Punk mix live performance
for other live songs check out Hallelujah (Live version at a concert), Aha (Singapore Vista - fan cam so not the best sound, but OMG! What a show), any of their early covers done in one take (Gold, No, evolution videos...) New Years Day (an original song sung on stage for a New Years Day show)... Thrift Shop (fan cam taken at an airport gate (!) good quality sound).....
Scott & Mitch had a side gig as "Superfruit" and did stuff on youtube. They put out an album (non-acapella) and I don't know why some of it didn't go top 40 with serious radio play. Their "Bad For Us" is just pop ear candy. So impressive.
Please react to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, The Sound of Silence, Hellelujah, Can you feel the love tonight or Imagine 🙏
Great reaction! Can’t wait to see more. ☮️
Imagine, love again (original )
Omg you guys should react to hallelujah and then to hallelujah live to compare it. i think the live one is even better
The heavy hitters will get notice, but their lighter pieces are joyful, too - and a nice reprieve from the angst of some of those. Try the covers of "Can't Hold Us" or Kiiara's "Gold", or La La Latch - live here th-cam.com/video/5WjI5Ykg4yE/w-d-xo.html
The best live performance for me is their Hallelujah
Agreed!
Like you Guys are genuine. Very English 😄 Makes us remember going over there to see section of shows,🎤 Ohhh and the Brits Cream Teas are awesome 🍵. We're enjoying your channel 💯this tune was awesome 🎼 Thanks for the useful knowledge, Never heard of them before until you guys put them on your channel . 🎸
@Debbie Reynolds
Thanks for the comment.
Great to hear you are enjoying it.
About, Mitch and Kirsty have been singing together since at least high school. Kevin & Avi were added when they registered for the TV shows
Their orginal album. "The Lucky Ones" is a great Album ... totally under-rated..
You should listen to the live version of hallelujah. It's on a Christmas special. Amazing!
I realize you are hesitant in reacting to another Bohemian Rhapsody, but have you ever heard it from a "Harmony" group? Your reactions are so genuine and enjoyable to watch, I'd strongly recommend you checking Pentatonix's version of Queen. You won't be disappointed, if fact, you may say it's a just tribute to Freddie and his genius.
I appreciate that you don’t necessarily react to the top listed video but dig a little deeper.
@K •
Thank you for the comment, we do try not to do all the big songs right away and take little detours.
We do need to do another PTX reaction and will do that in our next recording session.
Hope you enjoy some of our other reactions too.
You will love Imagine and Amazing Grace
Great video, but I'm having trouble with the way you misspelled "Pantatonix" at the bottom of the screen.
@Frankie O'Hagan
Thanks for watching.
Who said we misspelled it 😛
Thanks for the comment and if you stick around you may get to know us and our "Brit Humour"
It got you to comment.
Cheers
😆😆😆 you won't ever find a song with PTX we're you don't think " are they really doing that"
@Wilma v Pijkeren - Raayen
Yes, we totally agree and we are having fun watching these guys, it's amazing
Please add Amazing Grace. Their version will knock your socks off. Fun watching you!
@Mary Jane McKittrick
Thank you for the comment and we will be going back for more from PTX soon.
Please react to "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", Be My Eyes, Wizard of Ahhs".....by Pentatonix.......all amazing!! Thanks.....love you guys' reactions to PTX......
Also add Run to You and Love again, please! Older originals.
@Lorie Starinsky
Thank you for watching and the suggestions.
We do need to do a follow up soon.
Thank you for your comment.
✌️ please check out Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May tweeted the video & said check these is out or something similar. Another option - they performed in front of an orchestra live in a Star Wars tribute introduced by Harrison Ford. It’s just them on stage in front of a huge industry audience. You mentioned Hallelujah. The official PTX video is impressive & gorgeously shot but there’s also a live version performed on one of their Christmas specials. It’s even more impressive. Evolutions are a great choice because they’re stripped down. Also their cover of Gold. It’s live recorded with them all sitting on a couch. So much to choose from so have fun
Great Reaction as Usual!!!! Please check out Their Covers of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, "Imagine" by John Lennon, & " Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John!!!!
@Christie Eldridge
Thank you for the comment, we will get to the big hitters soon, we like to be a little different and look at the other songs and video too.
Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact Your Welcome
Great reactions! Please react Can't Hold Us, Can you feel the love tonight by Pentatonix
@Josephine Merced
Thank you for watching, we will be back with more soon.
Sorry, guys, yes I found Coffee in the Morning. Thanks for your recent response to a previous note of mine.
@Bruce Greenberg
That's OK, your most welcome and thank you for your comment and for watching.
More please 🙏 sing off performances as well
@TheREAL Scrub_Jake
Yes, we should at least check some of the Sing Off performances out.
Thanks for watching
Brit Pops React thanks for the content 💯
haha .. its not Pantatonix .. but Pentatonix ... smile ..
@Dan Ellwein
Ahh, we probably just had a brain freeze, we only do these in one take and no rehearsal.
What comes out is how it was recorded, mistakes and all. 🤣
At least you were paying attention.
Thanks for watching
@@BritPopsReact , Another very fair reaction. Just got this an hour ago. I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. I feel like my music education just went up 100 notches! Well done, again, sirs.
@Dan Ellwein
Hi Dan, I watched the video back and now see what you mean, oh dear that would be me and my fat fingers..ooppps
🤣
@Debbie Lewis
These guys are great and very talented, it's hard to take in just what is going on.
We will do more Pentatonix soon.
Thanks for the comment and great to hear you are enjoying yourself.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight please
For comparison listen to the official video And you'll see that they do not sound different at all. The same as true for when you get to hallelujah. A handful of reactors doing to in 1 reaction 1st the official video then the live version from a Pentatonix Christmas holiday special. They have a video for a song entitled sing which is an original song
Just jumping on here to ask if you don’t mind, adding Shoshana Bean and Scott Hoying (PTX) singing “All to Me” to your long list of subscriber recommendations. Ta very much! 🙂
@Faith Reasons
Hello and good evening to you.
Just finishing off another days comments and came across yours, you have been with us for a while now, witnessed some up's and downs (move on) and always had a fun comment to keep us going.
You know us well by now and what we sort of do, so if you have something to request, we are sure it will be for us.
It's on the long list, but we may bump it up a bit.
Just so long as it's not American Pie.
Take care, have a great day and let's see where we next, ohhhh Metal Monday's not sure you join us on those but Tuesday may be more your style.
Catch up soon!!
@@BritPopsReact Lol! American Pie. Don't worry, won't go there. Hee hee! Thank you so much. I saw the titles on your Metal Monday and thought if I watch Slipknot, I would have to spend the rest of the week in prayer. That kind of Metal is definitely not my thing but you have lots of other great stuff to choose from. Have a lovely day both!
@Faith Reasons
That's perfectly fine we appreciate the ones you do watch.
To be fair we were quite surprised, it was actually quite a heavy rock song and no naughty words.
So fair play to the guys, they just give the impression they would not be "our cup of tea" but turns out we quite enjoyed it.
You take care out there!!
Please react - [OFFICIAL VIDEO] Blinding Lights - Pentatonix
There was a lot of improvising riffs and runs on this-as opposed to the video!
They pride themselves with sounding the same … both live and recorded… if they can’t do it live then they won’t do it.
This is not really my cup of tea... ;) Some of the original songs are nice, but a little on the trivial side (like this one and the slightly lovelier "Love Me When I Don't") and they are mostly not what I look for in a PTX song. I like "The Lucky Ones" for the story it tells, "Happy Now" for the rhythm, but my favourite from this album is "A Little Space". And I do not really like these so called live performances which are basically versions produced for a show. I understand it - but it's not live...
@Ulrich von Bek
Thank you for the comment.
Very interesting.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz hard to stay awake
@scott boyd
You should have had a "Coffee in Bed" 😀
No worries, that's the way we do it here, more a review than shocked faces.
Thanks for trying us anyway...
Cheers
