Thank you for watching! Make sure you catch my day 1 upload from yesterday :) ALSO! We're releasing an album filled with our covers soon... on the 25th November! Very exciting, click here to follow over on spotify - open.spotify.com/artist/6Yzq4Kh6JmaaRH6zyIE3XK?si=BDIYGUFDRDahbQpRboNJoQ
Oh... and I'm sorry that I kept the background music going for a little longer in this, I do restart the music video so you do get to hear it without! Apologies!
Please respond: do you want this song by Disturb for Voiceplay to do especially Geoff will take full lead.
@@deanmarion5477 I'd love for Voice Play to do every cover of every song on Earth.
Oh, Jen! That's wonderful! Congrats on the album! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@abeldiaz3877 : that’s the spirit
Actually, I believe you've heard Scott sing even lower...it was he who picked up the bass line in Hallelujah when Avi sang that second verse. He has amazing versatility and a very, very wide range. I had to chuckle when I saw you get the goose bumps with Scott's final verse...I've seen this video probably 100 times, and it does that to me too...every single time.
He also picked up the bass when Matt solo’d in this video!
Oddly I didn't realize that Scott did that until I watched them sing that song live.
Same, every single time
I have seen soooo many reactions to this song but you are one of the rare few that recognize how amazing Scott's range is in this song. Starting out so low and ending so high... everyone CRUSHED this !!!! Thank you so much for doing PTX this week! I love your analysis!!
Thank you 😁
I've been a big follower of Pentatonix since the SingOff and I'm still amazed the amount of sounds comes out of only 5 voices.
When Avi or Matt are singing solos, Scott fills in the background bass.
They usually do their own arrangements, as a group effort in conjunction with Ben Bram, who’s the hidden sixth member and officially labeled as arranger/producer.
I know what you mean about being a proud parent. I've been rooting for them since they appeared on the Sing off. I'm from the Simon and Garfunkel era and this is such an upgrade of an already wonderful song. Love your videos!
They just killed it like always amazing fantastic reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
They did! Thank you 😁
Appreciate your analysis and enthusiasm for PTX, thank you.
Thank you!
They were just nominated for their 4th Grammy for their album, Evergreen!!!
Almost like Scott is the solid trunk of the Christmas tree this group is. The others add armfuls of branches and beautiful decorations, eyecatching glorious shiny additions, all supported by Scott.
Imagine being the arranger of these expert vocalists! Get them to individually sing it through their way, notate each one. Merge the notations together, then after their first run-through ask Kirsten "so on the 3rd and 4th beats of the fifth bar of the second chorus, could you add a pullout from the harmony and drop 3 semi-tones?" A chuckle runs round the group because they know she was planning to cook Easter dinner but she just nods, grins and kicks Mitch lightly in the shin under the desk. He responds with a dramatic Shakespearean death scene, winds up on his back on the floor with Kirsten on top beating him mercifully with open fists and a big grin.
Your reaction to this was delightful! Equal parts SME and fangirl. I had the same reaction to the unison run at the end. Loved it! Their latest release, Prayers For This World will blow your socks off. Scott and Kirstie especially shine. Scott’s performance stunned me.
Love this group and really like this song!!! I know every word! I was around when Simon & Garfunkel were so popular! I enjoy this arrangement. Thanks for a great analysis!
Great reaction, Jennifer! Love the things you cover. Coming into the holiday season, I’m sure you would love to hear their song “Mary Did You Know?” It is stunning, in my opinion. I always get the chills listening to it.
So this was going to be an option but I shall keep for December!😁
Would love you to do a reaction to PTX Mary did you know.
@@JenniferGlatzhofer you have to understand, Pentatonix Christmas Music is fair game year round!!! It's not limited to December!🎄🥰☺️
You had the exact same reaction to that last chord on "sound" as I did. Just stunningly brilliant. Great reactions as always Jen!
I LOVE watching music-lovers react to PTX. Especially this song and Hallelujah! So awesome to watch someone feel what I felt!
IMAGINE for the absolute apex of their wall of sound (and feels).
No one ever mentions how the guy at the other end plays those special sound effects that make this cover what it is; Amazing!
Great reaction and analysis to this amazing Pentatonix video. I enjoyed it a great deal. I love that you are so interesting and informative. Thank you. The video has crossed to over 132 million views since you recorded your reaction. I'm looking forward to your next Pentatonix reaction.
This one is right up there with my all-time favorites of Pentatonix!! Love your analysis and your reactions! ❤
this one is turning out to be the one i listen to the most ... really enjoyed this one Jenn ... thanks for all the Pentatonix reactions that you do .. i loved your reaction to Kirstin .. that made my day ..
Hello from the States. You are one of my favorite to watch.
Thank you😁
Excellent, informed and enthusiastic reaction! Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Your reaction and analysis video never disappoint! I loved this as any other! Can't wait for tomorrow.
Thank you 😁
Love the reaction. It's always great to hear the cheeky humor and watch your facial reactions. Personally not a vocalist but I have always enjoyed watching.
You are so full of knowledge 😍 great reaction! It was amazing ❤
They normally arrange their own songs with Ben Bram, who also produces their songs
love your reaction. your voice and cute facial expressions keep me entertained! great energy too
You will find it fun to watch a live concert performance of this song.
You're kind of right in that "we don't get that much from them" with Matt going to bass there. Even with Avi, Pentatonix is way more sparing it putting in low and high notes. They do it for sure, and to great effect, but way less than the other big acapella groups. Which is honestly one of the reasons I personally prefer them to the other groups. The other groups tend to pull me out of the performance with too high or low notes or different shown off techniques. Still very impressive and I get why other people might love it. But personally I'm very fond of Pentatonix very intentional use of tricks and moments, leaving space for an easy listening experience while still being kind of "undercover technically impressive" at points.
i disagree, pentatonix just tends to shines on the high register with mitch more so than the low one. whereas a voiceplay or a home free will leave some place for the bass to bass, pentatonix gets their umph with higher notes than either of the other groups (i'm not even counting Kirstin) but they're just as showy with their technically impressive stuff
It also kinda makes sense, out of the 3 they're the only group with a very high tenor and a woman, a big drop would be that much bigger since they hold the line higher
I agree with you. Pentatonix tends to play a cooler game, holding their best cards for those spectacular moments when they are most impactful, and often sliding them in where you might miss them if you aren't paying attention. I think a lot of that comes from the broad range of musical training Kevin and Avi had at the get-go, plus the genius of Ben Bram, of course. If you watch their early performances on the Sing-Off, they're really all over the place trying to show off everyone's talent. It didn't take them long to sort out the 'less is more' principle, and now we wait expectantly for those exquisite displays of unique skill they slide into a masterfully crafted arrangement. The low bass notes don't ring my bell like Mitch or Kirstie's highs, but they do make my belly tremble, just a little! 🙂
@@grischad20 I agree with Rebecca. You tend to see home free and voiceplay using their highest of the highs and lowest of the lows almost as a show off moment where as Ptx uses them more sparingly and where it will highlight the music. Ptx may come across as highlighting the highs more but part of it is that’s Mitch’s natural singing voice. Usually singing in same octave as Kirstie. Where tenors in the other groups can hit the notes but it’s not their main register. They have lower speaking voices where Mitch’s is naturally higher resulting in a higher placement when he sings.
I like the fact that they videotaped this in an empty warehouse or could be an empty airport hangar that leaves a nice reverb or echo effect. Great reaction Jennifer and I subscribed to your channel. See you tomorrow!! ❤
You should do a reaction to their "Making Of Evergreen". It shows a lot of behind the scenes things that you would surely enjoy.
Ptx really knock it out of the park with this one. Great reaction, Jen. Love you picking out the BV harmonies for attention. As you kept saying there's so much going on! 😅
I'd love to see your reaction and analysis of their most recent video: Prayers For This World.
It's absolutely stunning!
Another fantastic reaction, Jennifer. I know that I said this yesterday, but I must reiterate that I love your animation and obvious enjoyment when you are listening and reacting! And I learn so much from your technical expertise. Thanks for another great reaction!!
Ahaha thank you again! 😁
Listen to Scott's version of I Should Tell Ya Momma on You. That's going to knock your socks off!!
Jennifer, Even though I finding your frequent stops a bit disconcerting I really, really appreciate your analysis. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you, thank you!
It's good to see Scott getting some love. Most reactors are so enamoured with Mitch because he's a novelty, a guy with the vocal range of a female who sings brilliantly and Avi or Matt because bass is so sexy, Kevin because it's like he swallowed a drum kit, Scott and Kirsten often get overlooked a bit.
Loved the reaction, I always enjoy informed commentary on how good they are! New subscriber in the hope that Pentatonix will continue to be in the mix. You’re right (of course you are) that Scott has tremendous range. He released his first solo recently, called Mars, in which his range is totally on exhibit. If you decide to react to it, you may want to include the teaser he released just beforehand. It’s an a capella snippet of the song that shows what a vocal beast he is. The teaser is called Mars Now Available Everywhere or something close to that. I’m off to check out Amazing Grace. Peace from Ohio …
You'rw gorgeous. I love how you always truly get envolved and listens everything. I can share with you every sense and thought you share. You're awsome!
That last 15 seconds or so feels like that misty, warm rain that happens on a summer day when it's still sunny out. Soft, cleansing, warm, relaxing
Loved your reaction and description of this masterpiece.
Well, since PTX's Evergreen just got nominated for an Emmy, you may want to check that out. There is also a related behind the scenes video.
Also watch Kevin Olusola doing his one man band act on Marian Hill's "Down" and Scott and Mitch as Superfruit with Kirstie doing the "Frozen Medley" which is totally hilarious
I love your reactions. Just found you and am up at 2:25AM, can't sleep, and I keep saying one more. This is probably my favorite PTX song (prolly cuz I'm old). Honestly your analysis goes over my head as I cannot sing. I cannot carry a tune at all. But you are fascinating. Your knowledge and passion have me mesmerized. I mean it's like watching how astronauts train to go the moon. I know I'm never going to be an astronaut, but am still fascinated by it. With you, I know I will never be a singer, or sing well for that matter, but still you have me wanting to hear about it and how these singers do what they are doing. Thank you for the energy you put into these videos.
Thank you so much 😊
Great reaction, Jen! You're noticing so many important details, thanks :)
@18:08 ❤
Hahha thank you!
Also, checkout their Nutcracker video … they won a Grammy for this. 🐝💕🐝
Hope you react to Prayers for this world their latest song release
Oh and fingers crossed tomorrow's reaction is Imagine
I come back up to watch you every day!!!
So glad I found your channel! Super interesting and educational 😁 Here for PTX reactions. Highly recommend Can You Feel the Love Tonight and Waving Through a Window!!
Thank you 😁
This version is my second most favorite version of this song (1. Disturbed: Live on Conan 2016; 2. this one; 3. Simon & Garfunkel :Live in NYC). I love the harmonies here and Scott blew it out of the park on this one. Loved your spot-on analysis (as always) Jen. I count on you providing me with new insight whenever I view your reaction/analysis videos and you delivered as expected. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you!!
Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤️
I feel like, up until now, there were two ways to do this song: The original, sort of soft and pleading, by Simon and Garfunkel, and then the far more angry and passionate version by Disturbed. This is like Pentatonix has found a third way, but I'm not sure how to describe it.
Instead of just anger and rage, when Pentatonix issues the warning, they leave room for the potential to change. The difference you hear is hope.
You might enjoy their Making of Evergreen video which shows you how they go about creating and recording their songs. 💕🐝💕
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Enjoyed your informative reaction to this amazing cover!
Jen just love 💕 your reactions of PTX….This song is perfection in my mind. I’m pretty sure Ben Bram does their arrangements. Can’t wait for another reaction. You know there is over 100 PTX songs to reacted to. The Lion King will blow your mind…..You are now a true Pentaholic. Judy D
It's not really that Ben does the arrangements (I guess some), they more do it as a group together with him. They are all very involved in the creation of the arrangements.
Fantastic!! Both he video and the analysis.
Hi Jen, you are my favorite, i always enjoy your reaction review always.... more reaction videos i hope to come.. thank you. you are a blessing...
I would really love for you to check out the live choir version of Scott’s solo song mars. His voice is unreal on that one
Nicely done Jennifer,i hope you can react their new song Prayers to the world in this spectacular week 🙏🙏❤️
They all help arrange their music...and Ben Bram, the sixth member of the group.
Scott is the most versatile of the Band. He took over the bass in Hallelujah from Avi when it was his solo. And he can go almost as high as Mitch (compare „The Prayer“). So underrated!
I agree Scott is too often underrated. He adapts so much from song to song.
Great reactions. You are the best. So much more ptx ,ateerial needs your analysis. Prayers for the world is one run to you another and mad world too. Imagine a high school,choir with Scott Mitch and Kirstie in it… arlington texas had these three. The arrangements are a secret sauce of this group,and Ben bram was the one telling Scott the arlington trio,neeeded a bass and beat boxer to compete and the rest is history, Ben was an arranger for the show they won. I believe he just married Kirstie too. So close tight family group.
The five of them collaborate on arranging, but there is a sixth member --Ben Bram, who does a lot of their arranging and producing. He met Scott in college, and was instrumental in forming Pentanonix.
Scott is doing the bass line, I saw them do it live and not looping track involved, They Pride themselves on being able to do all or at least most of their songs live and have it sound just like the recordings
Better than the disturbed version by far IMO.
Avi did something similar in the No video. He would lean back and turn his head to the side when he went really low. I thought it was to get different intensity on bass line
Scott is a baritone that has a w i d e range to his voice. Pentatonix states that they do not produce music that they cannot perform live with the same sound. When Avi would take the lead, Scott would cover the base line, he also does it when Matt takes the lead.
from an early tour "AHA" Singapore. Choral intro would love to hear your comments. Then Mitch on lead but Avi additions that are amazing and all the others as BV support. Live from a concert on a phone camera AMAZING.
And to get more of Matt, "YOU'RE A MEAN ONE MR. GRINCH" also Season appropriate "MAKING CHRISTMAS"
As a general rule, all five of them will participate when they're arranging, but the primary arranger is usually Ben Bram, sometimes known as "the sixth member of Pentatonix." If there's a dispute I believe that Ben's judgment is the one they're most likely to depend on. Each member knows his or her voice best, so it's important for each member to be consulted, especially on that member's solos.
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. When it's an original song the primary arranger will be the composer, for instance.
Another good one is The making of Evergreen by Pentatonix. it shows how they change and talk about the music.
I love your analysis and the way you break it down. You're knowledge is much appreciated too. I also love your earrings.
As others have noted, Scott takes over for Matt with the bass line but I think he's keeping it just a tad higher than when Matt has it. However, in Hallelujah, he takes the bassline from Avi when Avi has lead, and I'm sure it's lower there. I think most people don't even realise that it's not Avi and assume that it's layered, but Scott's bassline notes have a slightly..."scott-like" quality to them, I can't quite describe it but I can usually pick out when it's him (not least because when it shows you him he looks like he's not singing but he's moving his hands as if he is lol); I guess perhaps his bass isn't as dark or rich as Avi (or Matt's), which isn't surprising considering he's a baritone, and that he can hit some wild high notes still (You should react to their version of Ariane Grande's Problem, they have a studio version or a live version that I think was recorded on a radio show) .
Scott also has a solo song Mars, that came out in the last couple of months which shows his voice has matured and there's a snippet he did singing it a capella in a kind of concrete bunker or something and his range that he shows off then was wild. I would also love to see your reaction to an older video he recorded of "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You" (I think you'd have to get it from someone else's reupload as he privated all the old stuff when he launched Mars, sadly. It also think it'd be super interesting for you to go right back to their performances on The Sing-Off to see how they've all changed & improved.
Also, Mitch & Scott singing together as Sup3rfruit is so much fun, and of course, easier to hear which of them is doing what. You might enjoy their Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 + 2, and their Frozen medley (recorded with Kirstie, they were all aa little tipsy apparently) among others.
Hopefully you will get to their Can You Feel The Love Tonight from The Lion King. That's another one where they keep upping the level through the whole thing.
Be sure to listen to their "Wizard of Ahhhs" with Todrick Hall - it is a ton of fun. Also Daft Punk (won their first Grammy) and/or 90's Dance Medley.
I recommend to react the Bohemian Rhapsody by pentatonix thank you so much im always rooting on you.
If you watch more, especially if you do live performances, you’ll note that Scott sometimes harmonizes at the top or near the top. Aha is a good example of this.
Great reaction , as always, with lots of useful vocal information. I don't think you mentioned it, but I'm always interested in Kirstie's 'tight' vibrato - it's such a short gap between the notes, which I think is quite unusual? Are you going to see them live in May in London? I can't wait - I've been a Pentaholic since their 'Sing-off' days in 2011 but haven't ever made it to any of their UK concerts before. From the live stuff I've seen on TH-cam, though, it should be fantastic!
Thanks Michelle32855, the group never stop to improve but as you're pointed out, nobody seems to notice Scott' base line , which not only add to the group but give him a new stance
Please react to Scott’s solo cover of I Should Tell Your Mama on You. It really shows his versatility!
Love your videos and reactions! One technical thing though, and it only seems to happen with your channel, I get a lot of audio popping throughout each of your videos for some reason. Not sure if it's an equipment thing on your end or an issue when you render and upload, but it happens on almost every one of them. I would think it was something on my end if it happened with any other channel, but it doesn't. Thought you should know. Again, love the channel!
they arranged it themselves. Scott does the initial just to get it started the all five sit and work it out.. all 5 deconstruct then reconstruct all covers. originals are a bit different process.
This is where you get some exposure to Scott Hoying's four-octave range.
Wonderful reaction! If this Scott impressed you, please, please listen to "The Prayer". (Mitch is also amazing!) I never get tired of hearing them!
Love your reactions, would like to see you reacting to Mitch singing Your power
Of the singers in the three major small-ensemble acapella groups (VP, HF, PTX), I am pretty sure Mitch's range goes the highest by a fair margin. If you want to hear a voice that goes higher than his, check out Voctave: they've got a world-class soprano-1. (They pretty much have to have one, because they do the kinds of arrangements that have multiple soprano parts, multiple alto parts, and so on down to multiple bass parts. They're more like a classical choir than the aforementioned groups.)
And no, PTX doesn't do the "soloist traverses four octaves in two measures" thing nearly as often as e.g. VP. Several of them do have the range for it, so I guess their arranger just doesn't like that trick as much, or something. I don't know who arranged this song; it's possible that it may have been several of them working together; they're on record saying that they do that sometimes: sit or stand around together trying out various things they can do with a song until they settle on an arrangement they like. Would be cool to be a fly on that wall.
Jenn, this was long overdue! What took you so long? And what else have you missed out of PTX? I highly recommend „The Prayer“, „Shallow“ and „Havanna“ and maybe their original „Coffee in bed“. And for Christmas: Have you reacted to „Mary did you know?“(This is definitely one of their top 5 songs!)
sorry I'm late to this, but while you were impressed by Matt's singing, you forgot to mention who took over the backround bass harmony, which I find actually more impressive...
Hey Jen........Mitch (the 2nd vocalist) is a counter tenor........in this performance he actually sings higher harmonies than Kirstie, the female vocalist.......listen closely
@16:12
Have you reacted to Peter Hollens/Tim Foust's version or Adam Chance/The Hound and the Fox's version? They are both very good.
Mitch (the 2nd vocalist) is a counter tenor........in this performance he actually sings higher harmonies than Kirstie, the female vocalist.......listen closely
Please check out Dimash K. "SOS" and Stranger. Out of this world crazy good.
Matt allegedly hit an E2 when he went down so low at the end of his solo part…!
Scott
Did ya say gaajis awesome.
Yeah that would be Scott he does 99% of the arrangements
well, yes and no.
all of PTX are involved with the arrangements along with Ben Bram. But yes, It's usually Scott, Kevin and Ben leading.
Ok u like grey,
Actually, Kevin can sing higher than Mitch.
Too many interruptions
