This was not made in a studio, it was made in a closet in Kevin’s and Avis kitchen. It cost them $400 for the blue stuff. This is just how good they are! It’s unbelievable isn’t it!
Thank you. I was about to write the same comment. Glad you pointed this out.
You should find the live performance!!
I started giggling when they mentioned "in a studio"..... but we can't blame them, they're extremely new, just falling down the hole when reacting to Daft Punk. Thank you for 👉 it out
You guys are terrible
I don't see many recs for it, but Sound of Silence by Pentatonix is amazing. Mitch's voice literally gives me shivers in that song.
I agree! Sound Of Silence is amazing. It really builds which they’re notorious for doing with songs. Def my fave cover of it. :)
Mitch is the standout for you? His is probably the most subdued voice there
Interesting you say that when that song is the least one that showcased mitch
Yes! Or maybe Can you feel the love tonight. Some newer stuff so they don't have to go through the emotional hardship of the bass change, haha. Better to get used to both of them at the same time! And as good as the old stuff is, many newer things get overlooked because people recommend the older classics.
Yes, Sounds of Silence.... nuff said.
I might have missed it but no one has stated that Avi can sing two notes at the same time. It’s called overtone and it’s very rare but spectacular. This is how he gets that amazing wind and swosh song in this song.
This was recorded in a closet in Avi and Kevin’s apartment for $400 and they won their first Grammy for it. Scott mentions that fact in their Grammy acceptance speech.
$400 for props, Avi's closet to record, Avi and Kevin's kitchen to produce. That's the amount of production going on there. And they won that Grammy!
Right. Avi & Kevin shared an apartment in LA early on to save money, and when the studio this was to have been done in fell through at the last minute, they used the closet to record the audio, then their kitchen to film the visual (done by FifGen Films). Here's their Grammy win, as video'd by Scott's parents: th-cam.com/video/2BNaVcMMJvM/w-d-xo.html
They had to run out and buy black bedsheets to put around them as a background. A popular photography blog called "Strobist" goes into detail. strobist.blogspot.com/2013/11/pentatonix-daft-punk-video-low-budget.html?m=1
They picked a challenging task, for sure, but they have kept challenging themselves in all the years since then. Want more dance music? 90’s Dance Medley. Want more sounds-like-a-real-drum-kit? Bohemian Rhapsody. I could recommend dozens more but I’ll leave that for the other Pentaholics. They have NO bad songs.
Fair warning, you may need to stop and talk every minute or use a filter over the top of the video in order to not get blocked. But it's OK. We've already seen them. ;-)
@Marieke don't forget the guitar solo, but we won't talk about that until after they see the video. LOL.
@@ptxlvr7150 Shhhhh :)
Gold and can't hold us
The prayer
You can’t go wrong with any of their upgrades. Bohemian Rhapsody and Imagine are divine! Brian May even shared their video when it came out. For Imagine, it makes the song so relevant for today. Pay close attention to the cards. It’s what defines them and what they share.
Tissues are necessary with Imagine. Every dang time
TOTALLY AGREEEEEEE
"Mary did you know?" is really amazing and you get to hear Kevin sing. Religious or not, it will give you chills with how angelic they sound.
the snare sound was from kevin. He can sound like a full set of drums
If dance beat/edm is something you guys really like, check out Love Again. It also showcases Mitch's higher register.
LOVE THAT SONG
Favorite song. I listen to it at least once a day😩
One of my favorites of theirs!
"Love Again" is to oft overlooked. Anyone who likes "Daft Punk" (which is pretty much everyone, I think) will like "Love Again."
Definitely go for Love Again! That’s an original song from them in a steam punk vibe.
In their 10-year career Pentatonix are probably best known in the US for their six Christmas albums, which are all among the top downloads every holiday season, including covers of Christmas and seasonal standards and pop hits, with some originals, all arranged in a fresh, creative style that makes you love songs that you thought you were tired of hearing. But they also have several albums and EPs with creative cover arrangements of pop hits from various decades and by artists from Dolly Parton to Beyonce to K-pop. And they have two albums of original songs in an assortment of modern pop styles. So you have only reacted to two of
If you like Avi's voice (and who doesn't), you might try his solo work, it's amazing. Most start with Change on the Rise but anything you pick will get you. Avi is magic
This!
Yes! I'm seeing his show in Nashville in a couple weeks. So excited!
I LOVE Change on the Rise!
Yes, yes, yes to the Avi solo work. It's the real him though he was amazing with PTX.
"Aberdeen" and "The Summit" are also terrific.
I second "Gold", and please compare the original to their version.
I think of all PTX Gold is my favorite.
Gold is bananas
If you want to see them do dance music it should take a look at their 90s dance medley.
Next up in the Pentatonix rabbit hole should be Bohemian Rhapsody. Their solution to the guitar solo will tickle you.
***NO STUDIO, THIS WAS IN AVI'S CLOSET & KITCHEN, THAT IS HOW TALENTED THEY ARE***
You truly need to do a pentatonix original. Sing will blow your mind
Their originals are so much fun. Sing is so fun and upbeat.
Love "Sing" and "Can't Sleep Love" the best!
I second this! Sing is amazing!!! The NFL even used it for Sunday Night Football one year. My favorite part of the video is the fans, and the celebrity and influencer cameos! It’s a MUST WATCH! 💛xo
Just an FYI, they have occasionally used instruments in some of their songs. Notably, Kevin on cello and/or Scott on piano. When they do a video of these songs, the instruments are shown.
Early on they had a long debate over using an actual whistle in a song called "Ref". They did finally go ahead and use a whistle.😁
Oh I love Ref....especially "Ref Play It Back".... so good!
You have got to listen to their 90’s Dance Medley. It will blow you away. They don’t miss a beat with the beatboxing. Kevin is a beast. Avi is a basso profundo. He has some amazing solo work since he has left PTX. This was recorded in Avi’s closet and edited in the kitchen on a $400 budget. Then they won a Grammy. Amazing!!! Keep going down the rabbit hole. Everything they do will amaze you. Great reaction! 💕💕
So good right? Watch Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, 90’s Dance Medley and Sound of Silence…honestly any of their vids will make you smile
I wish I could like this comment more than once. 👍
Highly recommend “love again” “gold” and “happy now” but honestly they don’t have any bad songs
I would also recommend if you watch Gold, go listen to the original by Kiara first, to really appreciate what Pentatonix does with that song!
If i had to pick a "weakest" cover, I'd say their Gangnam Style cover.... even then it was still fun to watch lol
Love again is my fav
"Gold" is amazing. Mitch shows off!
Evolution of Michael Jackson, Evolution of Rihanna, Evolution of Ariana Grande, gold. All of these are bangers and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Keep the reactions coming!
And with all this there is still much more to learn about what they each do in the group, depending on the song. For instance Avi does overtones, a fabulous trick few can do. Kevin also does other sound effects outside of those typical for a beatboxer, like water drops, a trumpet, & a flugelhorn (similar to a saxophone). Mitch can imitate a violin & also electric guitar. On the guitar it's so close with just his voice alone that you easily recognize what it is meant to be, but when you add reverb with a mic it becomes another moment when you go "I can't believe that's not an instrument!" Want a little soul or blues effect? That's Scott's specialty. Those are just a few examples.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is an incredibly impressive song that showcases all of their voices.
On the Sing Off when they did OMG by Usher, Shawn Stockman said Avi did things with his vocals that Will.I.am needed studio equipment to do.
They cover Kiiara’s Gold. Mitch nails the vocals, with no equipment.
Yes to Gold- but make sure you've heard the original... just to see how great Mitch is with this.
@@taniareads8751 totally agree. I had never heard the original, so listened before watching the PTX cover. I was not prepared for what I heard.
Yes! In order to appreciate what Mitch does, you need to hear the original and realize just how much electronic manipulation is being done. Mitch does it all, and naturally.
Totally. I tried listening to the original. Hated it. I love the PTX version. It's so much better
Yes! This cover was a shock to the system - couldn’t believe the vocal acrobatics Mitch did, and I hadn’t even heard the original yet! It’s definitely in my top 5! 💛xo
If you wanna see them replicate dance music, check out their 90's dance Medley!
A lot of people will suggest Bohemian Rhapsody and Sound of Silence (and those are excellent suggestions), but for a different dimension on Pentatonix, I would recommend you do Can't Hold Us, a Macklemore cover. You get some rap in that, along with several instances of great half-time (or dubstep, if you prefer)
Scott, Mitch and Kirsten met and sang in high school together. The three of them started the group.
Try Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Broken. So beautiful!
And now you know why they won a Grammy for this! Honestly Kevin and Avi held this down all the way through! They can replicate this live as well... there's a video out there of them doing it at a small private party , the audio isn't great but you can get a feel for how amazing they are... no effects or anything - also this video was made for $400 dollars in the home of one of the members and the audio was recorded in a closet!!
watch the rest of the video. they did the backstage performance you're talking about as well
@@Ezzy762 I saw that after I commented 🤣🤣
Didn't know this was made in a closet though. That's great
I know Kirstin is described as a Mezzo Soprano; however since she has kept training her voice it has evolved into a true Soprano with a huge range. Check out her high notes in “Seasons of Love” and her lower range in “Be My Eyes”, both PTX songs.
So glad someone said it! Kirsti's voice is super powerful as well as versatile and lovely
plus she had Whistle Notes from forever, when they just started :)
Completely agree. the trio can get way up there
Exactly, put some respect on Kirstie's name. Plus her beautiful and powerful parts in Amazing Grace and The Prayer
While I absolutely LOVE PTX including their originals, Seasons of Love is NOT theirs, it is a cover - it's from the musical RENT.
Amazing Grace will give you chills
Best thing about this reaction is that there are two ways people usually react - complete stock still shock or dancing along with a daft smile on your face and each of you adopted one of those reactions 😂
Love watching you guys react to PTC. Mitch becomes a robot in Aha Singapore a must watch. They recorded this is a bedroom closet and did the video in the kitchen. Cost $400. Result = a Grammy Award.
Yes! Aha Singapore is a must see!
Mitch is a beast in Aha!
i 3rd this. Mitch was just in the freaking zone
NOT YET! Trust me. You want to already be at the 'there's nobody better than Mitch ever" and THEN see Aha! at the Singapore Vista. Not A Mitch Slap. A mind melt down.
They're not ready yet for AHA Singapore. Need to see a bit more of the variety of their performances first.
check out their second Grammy "Dance of the sugar plum fairy" , no words just voices
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is brilliant 🤯🤯🤯
Kevin is absolutely world class! How he does all that he does is just not able to be processed in your mind! He creates the structure so the rest can shine with their magical voices.
On the Sing Off seas 3, they were told: "You guys are from the future to save A Capella" lol
Avi is infamous for being able to do overtones, singing a note while creating another tone. But he does other sfx in his overtones too.
I agree to reacting to their original Love Again next. It's also EDM tune and was written by Avi and Kevin. Avi is a basso profundo and majored in Opera. Crazy talented this group. Their second Grammy win was Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. No words, no problem for PTX. Remember too the live performance of this was without mics. Can't wait to see more reactions!!!
The should do the same thing with that one that they did with this one. Do the official video, but then pullup that live off-mic (or just Kevin on mic) performance of Love Again during the 24/7 interview.
@@toni-annmyers3604 I actually prefer the live performance, you can really see who's singing what part - hard to do when the official video cuts back-and-forth so quickly. While Kevin used a hand-held mic for his beatboxing, the others were recorded on an overhead boom mic that was being used for the interview.
@@Badger77722 well, sure, there was the interview mic, but when you can’t control each singer’s levels it still has an off-mic quality to it. I really like that live version, too.
@@toni-annmyers3604 You are correct, each singer has to control their own pitch and volume in that type of situation. Which just makes it all the more impressive to me, as there's very little difference in the sound quality between the studio version and this live version.
For anyone else who's interested, here's the link to the live performance: th-cam.com/video/GyRiez6UKAI/w-d-xo.html
what is truly impressive, is that Avi is producing both the low sub tone and the whooshing wind tone at the same time!! The technical term is called overtone singing. They produced this video on a 400 dollar budget and recorded it in a closet and video in Avi and Kevin’s kitchen. They won a Grammy award. Queue the slow clap.
Avi & Kevin were called meat & potatoes 😍. Scōmich started with music theatre at age 9. Kirstie joined them in 9-10th grade. They truly are one voice.
Name a song. 1 of them will sing a couple notes to set the key and the other 2 jump in on harmonies. How do they know who should sing which part if they've never sung it before? 🤷♀️🤷♀️❔
Y’all have easily become my favorite reactors. I appreciate your effort into understanding all aspects of a song. Find myself waiting anxiously for each PTX reaction!
Thanks, Paula!!
@@JaredandJordan Great reactions, thanks for the uploads.
Pentatonix (PTX) best songs and must react to songs are -
* Hallelujah (you did react to this, I just wanted everyone else to know about it too)
Mary Did You Know
Sound of Silence
Amazing Grace
Also, make sure to check out Home Free (another a cappella group) and their version of Man of Constant Sorrow .
I suggest reacting to their song Love Again next. It's an original song and showcases a little more of Mitch's higher register and Kevin's throat bass (which he does at the same time as beat boxing). Avi hits a few lower notes too. I can guarantee that it's a song you guys will enjoy listening and reacting to.
Their live version of Hallelujah shows how Scott and Avi trade off singing the bass.
Hallelujah from their Christmas special
what's even more amazing is that after they came out with this cover medley, other people and groups began covering their cover, you know its good when that happens
Avi is a basso profundo, which is a very rare type of bass. He can sing extremely deep and rich, this is why you feel him in your whole body (& soul.)
AVII IS AMAZINGGGG
If you want to see the bass & percussion hold it down live, their "Evolution of" videos are live and amazing! And if you want to hear Kirstie lower in her range, their cover of Rather Be is perfect
Yes
Love Kristie’s voice in that song.
Highly recommend any of the "Evolution Of..." videos. 5 voices, 2 microphones, 1 take. No extra effects or enhancements. Pure talent.
If you really want to hear Mitchs angelic voice in all its glory I recommend "The Prayer". Thank you for acknowledging the arrangements. With all their amazing voices none of it would be happening without their truly remarkable arrangements.
Now that you have seen there two most popular songs and as you've seen with other people's comments they won a Grammy for this song. They even changed the Grammy expectations from an instrumental song to instrumental or a capella song so they could win. The first song I ever saw of them was white winter hymnal and it's not there most popular song but it shows them being even more dexterous than you ever seen any group ever. Now on you two your reactions are probably the most informative of all reactors and I've actually learns more on the group than I ever learned by watching anyone else. So Thank You for that.
this arrangement was later used by French military marching band performing on Bastille day (there is video of it on YT) which i think is best compliment for it with Daft Punk being from France
Now that you did Daft Punk, you need to check out Love Again. Also Gold.
Next up should be their 90s Dance Medley or their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody! More Pentatonix please! I love your in-depth conversations and reactions.
Pentatonix are THAT good that ANYTHING which you see will be a great next listen!!
Love the way you guys look at the history of the group and the amazing songs/videos. You should watch Gold and
The Sound of Silence! Good job guys! 😁👍
Yes, different from a lot of reactors who deliberately go in blind. And I got a kick out of watching you "strap in" -- you take direction well. ROFL
At the time, Avi and Kevin shared an apartment. Their plans for recording fell through, so they recorded in the apartment's closet and filmed in the kitchen. As others have said, they spent $400, not counting post-production. And they won a Grammy. Bohemian Rhapsody needs to be next...
You're asking for what's next, but there is literally nothing bad in their catalog. Roll dice, throw a dart at a list, point blindly at a video, you will not be disappointed. That being said, personal favorites are:
1. Imagine (moving and emotional, and also their best example of their "Wall of Sound" - you'll know it when you hear it),
2. Amazing Grace/My Chains Are Gone (even though I'm not religious at all),
3. O Come All Ye Faithful (and yes I know it's a Christmas song, but the joy in this performance will make you want to shout "YES, YES, YES!!!" and then play it over and over again).
But seriously, pick a song, any song, and it'll be a winner.
You want to have your minds blown, try their cover of "Gold" by Kiiara. Their vocal dexterity is so incredible that they can do naturally what took Kiirara technology to accomplish. There's Mitch slaps, but that and his iconic lead performance of "Aha!" by Imogen Heap at the Star Vista in Singapore (there's a video, find it) are downright Mich face punches.
YES....Kiiara uses a machine to produce the sound......Pentatonix uses Mitch! Just the changes in tone and range are impossible for anyone but Mitch.
yaaas was going to leave this exact comment!
Love again is a must it’s a pentatonix original it’s insane thanks guys
they spent a total of $400 for the contacts and this was done at an apartment in a closet and kitchen. They won a grammy for it. There was 7 daft punk songs used. kevin had the sunglasses on and was the beat boxer
You guys DO realize they do this live, right? What got my the minor 9th chords at the beginning, Avi’s overtone singing-especially during the second 8 of Kirstie’s solo and Kevin’s snare rim shots! Extraordinary!
What a great reaction! Mitch really enjoys EDM. He has released solo work under the name of Messer that has an EDM flare. Although he also raps, plays the piano, and has exceptional pitch accuracy. And Kevin is a savant. Seriously. Besides being a singer, beatboxer, and cellist, he also speaks Mandarin fluently, has perfect pitch, has played saxophone at Carnige Hall, and was actually pre med at Yale.
The 90's Dance medley is also super amazing.
The buckling in was a hoot. I'm very glad you decided to find the off-mic performance. Gold, The Prayer, and Kevin's one-man-band performance of Down are the top 3 I'd like to see you do next.
EDIT: Actually, since you loved the EDM _and_ had questions about how Kevin & Avi _did_ that, here's my top recommendation; Watch the official video for their original song Love Again, then this interview th-cam.com/video/bC9TicW0iiY/w-d-xo.html in which they demonstrate a few techniques, then perform Love Again live.
I would say 98% of PTX songs are 100% a capella, and 2% have an instrument or two. You'll see them in the video if they're there.
Kevin's cover of Down is 100% an absolute MUST WATCH NEXT video!!!! You guys think acapella is amazing,wait until you hear Kevin's cello boxing and looping!!he's a true genius and a genuine gift to the world.he's incredibly smart and humble,and his talent is beyond amazing,he is truly phenomenal and his cover of Down will impress and rock your world!!loved your in depth look into the music!!thanks guys😄✌
As for the snare in their song Sing he raps that he is a human 808.....pretty accurate.
We Pentaholics say they don’t do covers, they do upgrades. Everything they do is pure gold.
You guys are quickly becoming some of my favorite Pentatonix reactors. Love all the research and thought you put into it. Keep it up! You truly can’t go wrong with anything from them :)
You can see Scott sing bass during their live performance of Hallelujah. It’s very obvious there!
They had their studio cancel at the last minute, so this was recorded in Avi's kitchen closet at a cost of around $400.00, and they still won a grammy for it.
People might forget this but Kevin was pre-med at Yale and left when recruited for the group. I read he was a lead cellist for the Yale Symphony Orchestra and has appeared on stage at Carnegie Hall playing both piano and alto saxophone. Very talented indeed!
Loved the reaction, so few get deep enough to realize what they just watched / heard is deeper that what a casual critique can adequately cover. Suggestions....I believe Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy won them a Grammy as they did an entire vocal presentation of the 100% instrumental in the Nutcracker. Also, Mary Did You Know done in a cave and about 300 million views, The Sounds of Silence, Amazing Grace is the only one that completely turns Kirstie loose (seat belts required), Gold lets you see them all sitting and every movement of each, and then the Prayer defies description. Welcome to the a cappella Wabbit Hole....Oh, one final note is that Mitch, Scott, and Kirstie have been together since either high school or longer. Avi and Kevin were added so they had enough members to compete on the national competition Sing Off which they won. If you look at their first performance on the Sing Off here you get a good run down on their history.
Bohemian Rhapsody should be your next one. I want to point out a prop is used in this one. It is ONLY a prop, in live performance it is not used. Thank you for your in depth study of our Pentatonix. Are you Pentaholic yet? That is what we call those of us who cant get enough of them.
Hearing them speculate about how they recorded this when you know it was recorded in a closet with a ringlight is awesome! I love that they are learning more and more about them though.
Please keep putting out these reactions! I am becoming addicted to your insightful comments, your quest for background knowledge, and your soothing voices. The interesting interplay between the two of you is full of consideration and support. Plus, I love the clever sound effects. Great work from you both.
This is my favorite Pentatonix song! At some point, please check out more on Avi. He has a new album coming out soon, but there are two of his previously released songs that are "must hears". One is called "Change on the Rise" and the other is titled "Otherside". They are a completely different sound than Pentatonix, as they line up more with Avi's folksy background! With that said, one of the most impressive things he does is he can sing overtones. That means he can sing two notes at once! One is deeper note while the other is a Mariah Carey-like whistle tone! You can find live videos on TH-cam of him singing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" with overtones! Anyways, thanks for always doing these reactions the right way. I always love the care and time you put into each one instead of rushing to get them over with. I really appreciate that! Take care & God bless!
From what I remember, they made this themselves in a closet in their apartment. Edited and made entirely by them on. $4-500 budget.
"Gold" please - so easy for you to see the magical mechanics - and it's a wonderful interpretation of the original
I love how they do all the production effects like dubstepping with just their voices.
Thanks again for a great reaction! Pentatonix didn’t even record this in a studio, they did in a closet in an apartment! I read/heard somewhere though that the editing of the video took quite some time.😅
No studio, no booths! Recorded in an apartment and filmed in a closet, $400!
If you liked the synth feel of this medley, you MUST hear the 90's Dance Medley next. With Matt.
Oh, and their cover of Gold will knock your socks off. It's recorded live, just sitting on a couch.
You guys haven't even heard how high Mitch's voice goes. To hear how high he can sing, listen to them sing "Aha" live in Singapore. Mitch sings a solo through the whole song and his high range will leave you speechless
When you're ready, meaning a couple of Pentatonix songs under your belt, you have to listen to Star Vista Singapore (also known as Where is Kevin ? 😊) (the answer being he's putting aways his cello).
ok Bohemian Rhapsody next , it's bloody amazing x
I really like how you guys looked up Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger first since you weren't completely familiar with Daft Punk. It makes you appreciate the medley THAT much more lol. This is my favorite PTX song, no questions, hands down, thanks for playing.
Bohemian Rhapsody is another mind blower. Love how y'all react
Oh please do Bohemian Rhapsody!
I loved this. Thank you for giving us all the info before and after. I cant wait to see you react to more Pentatonix.
Gotta recommend their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. A piece without vocals done by a group without instruments which also won them a Grammy.
Bohemian Rhapsody takes their instrument sounds to another level and has Mitch as the lead vocalist.
Really enjoy your in depth reactions! I really think you guys would have a blast with 90s Dance Music Medley. Note: They do use auto tune in that video but it is done as an homage.
Mitch can actually get to a higher note than Kirstie (rymes with thirsty) can. IF you want to hear Mitch's full potential, "The Prayer", "Can't sleep love", "love again", or with Scott on their side project Superfruit "Defying Gravity". I believe he can get higher than Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey. But I can be wrong about those three. There is actually a video I can't think the name of, where Scott is using a Magic Marker, and it is squeaking, and Mitch matches it perfectly. Really go and watch the Private Performance (you'll be able to see a bathroom in the background), it will convince you that they are doing it all with their mouth, if your not already. even if the volume/audio isn't the best. BTW, AVI has blown speakers at, at least 10 venue's. After watching the Hallelujah and this video, I have subscribed. Two more things, first about the middle of the song, there is a place where they all run out of air, so they make the next note on the inhale (the light gets brighter), and at the very end, they are singing 4 different songs at the same time. Kevin, can actually make 2 too 4 different instrument sounds at one time, from what I've heard. There is a video of all of them, showing their vocal range, watch those, it will blow your mind. Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch have known each other and were in school choir together as far back as 10th grade, which they are in their early 30's now so they formed the group in 2011, so maybe 2009 they've known and sang together. That's why their so good.
That is incorrect. Kirstin hits the highest notes in Seasons of Love. Mitch's great strength is in the purity of his voice. I am not trying to be mean but I think Mitch may give up the high notes eventually because as he says, he is happy fans like them but they hurt his voice. On "We need a little Christmas" Kirstin did most of the high notes. After not being able to tour for a year Mitch is back to singing counter tenor but he could stop at any time and it wouldn't change how great his voice is.
@@marykuettner752 I don't know what happened, I actually typed this up several days ago, but I can't find it now. Theses figures can be wrong, I don't know, I have to depend on other people for stuff like this, and if they are wrong then I am too.
You misunderstood what I said, I said Mitch CAN hit higher notes than Kirsten can, NOT that he DID hit the highest in this song. If you look on YT, for video's on their vocal range, you will wee that Mitch's range is (and I can't find the specific videos I went by last time I looked at this, but I did write it down, I was curious) Mitch's range on the new video is A1-B7. Including whistle notes which I don't count, unless your Dimash no one uses them in regular singing. But this video is counting whistle notes in the range. Kirstin's range is B2 to B flat 7, which is a half step lower than MItch. Again included in the B flat 7 is her whistle notes. My notes on the older videos say his regular range is B7, hers is regular B flat 7.
Now you may be right about the high notes hurting his voice, a lot of reactors that are musically trained talk about hearing his vocal chords stretch, and him straining. I"m not trained musically, but I know when watching the two of them trying to hit the same high note, her face looks like she is working hard to push her voice that high, but it could be emotion I see, but look at him and he is so relaxed, not trying at all.
I was just going by things they have said during interviews, and what they didn't say.. That led me to believe he would rather her get the praise for the hard parts. If it is stretching his vocal chords, I'm sure it is hurting his voice.
Kristin hit a full voice C6 and D6 in Seasons of Love. Mitch says he won't try anything that high but Kirstin's whistle notes are higher than his when they are fooling around.
For years they wouldn't give a direct answer or said Kevin sang the highest. All they will) say now is Seasons of Love is the highest note on an album.
@@marykuettner752 SMH, some people always gotta be right.
@@ptxlvr7150 lots of fans quote each other about Celine ect.
No, Mitch is a contertenor his range is no where near a true soprano.
The reason it bothers me are Mitch's high notes are not the reason his voice is so good.
Most opera counter tenors sing far higher than Mitch. It is his control and placement that make his voice so great.
If he never sang another high note in his life he would still be a great singer and to hear him reduced to " He can sing higher than Kirstin" is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
This was one of their three Grammy winners.
Love ur reactions! It’s so fun for us Pentaholics to discover people discovering their magic. Yes, it is a gift + A LOT OF HARD WORK. They really grind, especially knowing what happened after they won the Sing Off but then got dropped by Sony (part of winning was to get a record contract). They put in thousands of hours of practice and posted to TH-cam, that era is affectionately known as the “couch years” because they were mostly sitting on a couch with the “meat & potatoes” (Avi & Kevin) on the floor in front all around one mic 😎
Please listen to their 90s Dance medley. Also, they have several medleys. All of them are great! And please give Kevin some love. He is amazing!
Please watch Kevin Olusola’s cover of the song Down. Only then will you believe any and everything you hear coming from him. Seriously.
You guys are the best Pentatonix reactors I've ever seen on TH-cam. I love how you guys allows us to walk with you guys on the learning process by showing it on video instead of doing it off camera like every reactor do.
"The Prayer" is incredible, and gives you a big Mitch-slap. People are already talking Grammy for it.
Love watching your ptx reactions!! Bring on more!!! Bohemian Rhapsody is great!
PTX has so many good songs. Can't Hold Us, Blinding Lights, The Prayer (talk about blowing your mind!!). I could mention more, but hopefully people are telling you their version of IMAGINE is a much watch. I love your reactions. I appreciate your shared research and that while you are obviously impressed at the same time you are low key rather than frenetic like some reviewers can be.
If you want more dance music, they have a video "90s Dance Medley". You'll love it ;)
My son and I listen to this song almost everyday! "Love Again" is another favorite of ours. "Aha! Singapore" is a live verson that will utterly blow you away! Just discovered you guys and glad you're highlighting Pentatonix!
