Ana Cora Avi is singing with them from almost the beginning. And the arrangement of the song doesn't need Kevin that early. So he starts later. ;) No spontaneous joining, everything planned.
Kirstie was belting it out she sounded so clear and beautiful, Mitch hitting his high notes and giving me chills and Scott with his soulful passionate runs, ugh this was so good. How can you not be in love with Pentatonix??
THEY'RE SO FREAKIN TALENTED!!!!! This wasn't even planned!!!! AND AVI AND KEVIN!!!! They just jumped in with no preparation. Just casually walk in, join in and completely blow my freakin mind why don't you!!! Like what the hell?!?! How talented do you have to be to freestyle an entire song and slay my whole entire existence!!!!! 😱😱😱😱
Do you know what I like in this performance? Everybody is talking around before they start singing. You can hear the noise in the backgroung. And then , slowly silence comes when they start singing because everybody is mesmerized. Love that.
I know they did this a few years ago BUT, OMG HOW MANY OF MY FELLOW PENTA-HOLICS OUT THERE WISH THEY WOULD PUT THIS ON PTX VOL. 4??!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, Scott slayed and Mitch is on another level completely, they literally have a soulful deep southern black woman living inside them both cause they ain't nothing but the truth!!!!!!!!! Kirstie always adds a lil womanly vibe to it and, I can not forget about the "MEAT AND POTATOES" (Kevin and Avi)...OMG, Avi with that hip action can seduce a straight man into giving him anything he wants lol and Kevin just rounds everything off with his beats that can't be overlooked!!! This cover is literally one for the history books, BEST COVER EVER!!!!!!!
Amazing how Kevin and Avi just joined in on the song impromptu and making it look like it was rehearsed, like they weren't supposed to sing until that moment at the song. That just goes to show you the cohesion of this group and that how they are in sync with one another.
Why did you cut off the video so quick at the end? You should have at least shown the viewers reactions to hearing them sing in such an unexpected place as that...
Mitch doesn't have to be beatboxer anymore! Hahahaha!!! And this is really really 100% better than the previous version when they sing without Avi and Kevin, Trio, if you know what I'm saying... Check out their first sweet dream cover in scotthoying channel~ :)
I gotta say, this is probably my favorite video of PTX. At first I was like "Is this from the trio?" Then Avi and Kevin join in and it hits you just how much they all love what they do.
Avi really seems to like gyrating and hip-thrusting when he's lost in the moment xD Not that I'm complaining, quite the opposite in fact ;) However, it's not doing good things to my ovaries D:
I feel like sometimes people's best performances or random snippets are best when they're impromptu, like Scott and Mitch just go for it because they can
I love how it starts off with the room full of chatterers and then once the angel voices start to shine, turn around to see everyone with their cells out! Love this! Love them!
I love how impromptu this is and yet they're amazing as usual. I love how avi and kevin were just like... should we join in??? I love how everyone notices how talented they are and starts videoing. I love how at first they were just singing softly but then avi and kevin came and then it turned to a whole performance. I love avi's dancing. I LOVE EVERYTHING. PTX forever
ive seen this so many times but i marvel at something i just noticed, but this time it was watching Scott harmonize up in those high notes with Kirsti and Mitch which i know he does but seeing it and hearing it live is still a marvel to me!
Love how avi and kevin are like "do we join? Yeah."
Ana Cora Avi is singing with them from almost the beginning. And the arrangement of the song doesn't need Kevin that early. So he starts later. ;)
No spontaneous joining, everything planned.
Can we talk about the fact that they still sound incredible even though the audio quality is really bad?
No offense to the person who recorded this. Your a life saver for uploading it.
😱😍😍
+Dillon Kelley They sound great in parking garages, churches, airports, even out on the street.
Lucy Foster and in bathrooms 😂
Yes! That's because they are true singers most definitely. 😊
you think you're blown away and then mitch slays the fucking scene hahahahha shit
haha PREACH
So awesome!! haha
fave comment ever. :)
+Ema Atwell From his knees on the floor! Wow!
Avi and kevin both just went in like "meat and potatoes here! God mode activate!"
Hah! I love this comment!
Avi always looks happier whenever Kevin is around him. You can't have your meat without your potatoes.
Kirstie was belting it out she sounded so clear and beautiful, Mitch hitting his high notes and giving me chills and Scott with his soulful passionate runs, ugh this was so good. How can you not be in love with Pentatonix??
I know it sounds impossible but my. Mom doesn't like them. I still listen to them though all 5he time. Sometime I anoy her with listening to them lol.
Impromtu a capella makes the world a better place.
Look at the way Avi looks at Kevin at 1:07
Long live meat and potatoes
Yas
I actually ship them. Lel
DisturbedPentaholic Fucking, Avi isn't gay and HES ENGAGED
That moment when at first they looked all groggy and sleepy but then Avi and Kevin joins in then they just turned into "performance mode"
That lady, "mmmm SANG"
Yessss lol I died right there!!😂😂😂
You mean kirstie?
Omg yass
no a woman in the crowd said that about Mitch
XD it makes me think of Avi saying to Scott, "you better sing... you better"
THEY'RE SO FREAKIN TALENTED!!!!! This wasn't even planned!!!! AND AVI AND KEVIN!!!! They just jumped in with no preparation. Just casually walk in, join in and completely blow my freakin mind why don't you!!! Like what the hell?!?! How talented do you have to be to freestyle an entire song and slay my whole entire existence!!!!! 😱😱😱😱
I Love how Avi and Kevin joins in with the trio
Ivy Grassi-Hoying it's more of a recruit/invitation and not joins
JK.
wait i thought you meant the group not the song my apologies
Denmark Dezel its alright:)
Favourite part ❤️
How do they even remember the arrangement of every song??
WHY ISN'T THIS ON ANY OF THEIR ALBUMS
idk but it was originally just the trio doing the song and i believe Kevin and Avi improvised
Erica Turtle
You can here Scott say at the beginning that Avi and Kevin only know parts of it, so yes they did improvise some of it
+Bradley Hollingsworth thats how music takes you
All I could think the whole time was "Either way I don't wanna wake up from WHO RUN DA WORLD"
Lol me too, I was singing with them and then I sang who run the world and was like 'whoops not that, ok'
Katie Leshna GIRLS!
+Carlota Mc Coy sameeee
+Katie Leshna SAME
Me too
Do you know what I like in this performance? Everybody is talking around before they start singing. You can hear the noise in the backgroung. And then , slowly silence comes when they start singing because everybody is mesmerized. Love that.
Avi on playing air guitar, I'm dead 😍
Caitlin Margetts air bass guitar
Mitch's voice is hauntingly beautiful. Love this.
+Robbin Vereen King Couldn't anyone find him a chair. Singing and moving on a hard floor on your knees would be so hard.
I love how Scott forgets the lyrics at 1:37 and Kirstie and Mitch try so hard not to laugh 😂😂
I didn't notice that 😂
Lol I was dying as well this happens to many times
Wait..... When Mitch was doing his best part and no one else was singing someone was like hmmmmmmmm sang
I WAS DYING LMAOOO SO ME
Mitch's high note was a religious experience. Slay us all.
I know they did this a few years ago BUT, OMG HOW MANY OF MY FELLOW PENTA-HOLICS OUT THERE WISH THEY WOULD PUT THIS ON PTX VOL. 4??!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, Scott slayed and Mitch is on another level completely, they literally have a soulful deep southern black woman living inside them both cause they ain't nothing but the truth!!!!!!!!!

This cover is literally one for the history books, BEST COVER EVER!!!!!!!
MEAT AND POTATOES OMG YESS
+DontCryCraft Lol 😂 they complete each other like 🍖 and potatoes 🍟. Ain't something special to each dish (song). 😂
+Prince Leigh HAHAHA omg genius
My religion is Pentatonixism
Sammeeeeeeee
Same.
Jasmine Mustafa I might convert now...
Jasmine Mustafa same
I love how at 2:23 Mitch looks at Kevin and is like "THAT BEAT THO" XD
It shows the chemistry in the group that mitch saw that kick coming
"uuhhgmmmm sang" 2:43
olempiaC i just laughed so hard at this comment omfg
Kirstie's voice
melts my heart
Amazing how Kevin and Avi just joined in on the song impromptu and making it look like it was rehearsed, like they weren't supposed to sing until that moment at the song. That just goes to show you the cohesion of this group and that how they are in sync with one another.
do the people need more proove that they DO NOT AUTOTUNE????? all pure voice...
mitch's high notes are the most perfect ones I've ever heard. love these people.
The song itself was awesome enough, but when Avi started movin' them hips mmmmm :)
Why did you cut off the video so quick at the end? You should have at least shown the viewers reactions to hearing them sing in such an unexpected place as that...
2023 and yea im still here 😍🔥
I love this! Avi and Kevin came outta nowhere! They looked so hype to get in on it!
I love when you unconsciously whisper "insane" at 2:42. You beautifully captured the experience. Thanks!
Ah, I though she said, "sang".
I heard " mmmmm.... sang"
Well I heard someone talking and then I heard her say something and I thought she said, ''mmm....thanks'' . I mean that's what I heard.
They did it on the spot without any plans… Talents were working over there
PTX what wonderful fan service you give. You deserve that Grammy :)
and that second grammy too XD
Gamina11a And should get the third one.
they got three now
They sound good even when the quality is crap :3
Mitch' high note took me to a religious place I love him so much
I like how in the beginning it seemed like they were trying to keep to themselves a bit, but by the end they were going all out!
That was so good for not planning it out! They know each others brains. lol
Oh, they kinda already did plan it out (sees sidebar) but for Avi and Kevin to join was still talented. lol
That's what you call jammin' ;)
ejswimmergirl
Oh that's cool, was it a spreecast before last month? Last month was my first one as a patron. :D
So I just knew Kevin and Avi did this on spot and improvised their parts? So cool.
And just Avi is always with them hips man, always
Avi and Kevin are just kinda like 'Do we join? We wanna join. We should join. We're gonna join.'
2:36 you crazy Mitch
I love that they can just burst into this amazing, perfect rendition when asked as if they'd been expecting it and practicing it for weeks.
I actually can't handle the amount of talent in this video.
Avi and Kevin are just that good....dayummmmmmm
they need to release a studio ver of this gah
They performed this at the SingStrong Festival back in 2012. Look it up, there are several fan vids.
they really should, this song is ready to go!
Mitch doesn't have to be beatboxer anymore! Hahahaha!!! And this is really really 100% better than the previous version when they sing without Avi and Kevin, Trio, if you know what I'm saying... Check out their first sweet dream cover in scotthoying channel~ :)
they were really feeling it by the end. omg they love what they do and i love them..
I gotta say, this is probably my favorite video of PTX. At first I was like "Is this from the trio?" Then Avi and Kevin join in and it hits you just how much they all love what they do.
Real talent
Pure. Magic.
love how they just assembled as the three started it. Thank yu God for Pentatonix!!!!!
this still hits hard after eight years
Ikr
2:30-3:16; The lady @ 2:44 is my spirit animal.
Like you know how people say jokingly " I almost peed myself, Welp I literally almost did. Sorry for tmi.
sparkles37373 ok hahahaha
Hahaha someone said mmmm sing at Mitch's part lol
I love these street recordings better than anything done in the studio.
2.46 the immm dang to Mitch's high notes was more polite than my holy f*ck.
Avi really seems to like gyrating and hip-thrusting when he's lost in the moment xD Not that I'm complaining, quite the opposite in fact ;) However, it's not doing good things to my ovaries D:
LOL
I feel like sometimes people's best performances or random snippets are best when they're impromptu, like Scott and Mitch just go for it because they can
Man, I love Avi's outfit.
And the bass. And the beatboxer. And the girl. And the other tenor. THEY'RE ALL SO AMAZING.
OH MY GOD!Mitch is like....... I CAN'T !!!!
I am SOOOOO obsessed with Kirstin in this video, she slays the 'guilty pleasure' part!
How am I only just now finding this? I love it so much.
Apparently I’ve watched this before? It’s still really good
I'm just in love with Kristie's Voice!!!! XD
You guys are so talented and cool. I'm an old man and I love your music.
I love how it starts off with the room full of chatterers and then once the angel voices start to shine, turn around to see everyone with their cells out! Love this! Love them!
mitch's absolute precision and clarity do scary things to my heart rate. my word, the artistry!
I love how impromptu this is and yet they're amazing as usual. I love how avi and kevin were just like... should we join in??? I love how everyone notices how talented they are and starts videoing. I love how at first they were just singing softly but then avi and kevin came and then it turned to a whole performance. I love avi's dancing. I LOVE EVERYTHING. PTX forever
Having Kevin and Avi make a great deal of difference to this song; really fills out the music. Sooooo gooodddd.
They are just... PERFECT. Perfect together, perfect combo. You gotta love them.
These kids love to perform and that is what it is about for them. It is amazing, and generous ...
The high roll that Mitch hit...TEARS!!!
Mitch kill me with his high notes... and knelling, cutest
i love it when avi starts actually playing bass when he sings
I've found this recently and now I can't stop watching it.
is this a sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare??
either way Penta- tonix's too good to be truuuu.
ive seen this so many times but i marvel at something i just noticed, but this time it was watching Scott harmonize up in those high notes with Kirsti and Mitch which i know he does but seeing it and hearing it live is still a marvel to me!
They looked like they didn’t want to but are amazing and did it for the pleasure of Pentaholics
Even out of the blue, they can put it all together and perform. That's true talent.
I'm obsessed with Mitch at the start... He looks so adorable, the way he's looking around with big eyes! Like omg, my heart
Avi's moves
This is still the video I crave and come back too all these years later. It’s truly my happy place 😂
Listening to this is like listening to the voices of angels. The clarity and purity in tone. I never want it to end.
AVRIEL'S HIPS
Avriel???? 😂😂😂
DontCryCraft Avriel Benjamin Kaplan is Avi's full name :) and I'm never going back to Avi now that I found that out, hahah.
+Gaja Slevec How do you pronounce that?!?!
I have no idea. I do it like Ariel with a v. But I have no clue if it's correct.
+Gaja Slevec it's actually pronounced Ahh-vri-elle just like his nickname is pronounced Ahh-vee :)
gives me chills listening to these guys unbelievable sounds
Avi's air Base is so adorable
OMG... I would die. I don't even... wow. I have lost my words... :D
Their musical ability is out of this world, I need to see & hear them in person!
They are so cool for doing this for you. So sweet.
the harmonies during Scott's verse just about KILLED ME. I wish this was a thing.
i just started crying cause this is actually my life goal to be able to hear them sing not through my computer screen
That is so cool to here them just jam ! And ya fellas we'd like some bass and percussion! Wonderful! Such amazing vocal skills!
So effortless & natural. That's God-Given TALENT.
Yesss... That's REAL talent...
I love that the person taking this couldn't hold the phone still, but had to move. Thanks for sharing this. But couldn't someone find Mitch a chair???
They got more confidence when meat and potatoes joined them!
I feel like everyone gets more confident if Meat and Potatoes joins them singing 😍😍
How do they even do this? I can't believe it is unplanned... I mean, this is so good!
Kirstie sounded amazing!
No preparation, no warmup, just naked talent. Awesome
As usual, the surprises keep coming... serindipity musical pleasure!#$!$@
Can't wait for the CD/Video/Tour/Album, etc....
