Top right is Mitch, he looks different in almost every video. It’s Kirstie, sounds like thirsty. Avi, bass left in 2017 due to family issues. You haven’t met his replacement Matt yet. Sound of Silence is a good way to meet the new lineup. Appreciate your enthusiasm though.
I get goosebumps when I hear Matt for the first time in "Sounds of Silence"
@@jenniferbalasa7124 Ah, yes! So powerful!
THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THIS UP FOR ME. Hahaha I was so confused! Thanks for being here! You guys are so helpful.
Kirsten
@@jenniferbalasa7124 Me too!
They won their first Grammy for this song. Top right is Mitch he is still in the group- bottom left is Avi and he left the group
They “dressed” up again for an original I think you would enjoy called Love Again.
Omg, i could not stop laughing everytime he called Mitch 'the new guy' 🤣 But i am laughing with you, as i am sure you will be once 50 billion Pentaholics point it out. Great reaction, you are exactly what a fan wants in a reactor. The times you are talking and stop dead when a vocal part starts is one of my favorite things!
Sorry about the blocking. It's the video that triggers the block, so most reactors alter the video -- make it smaller, increase the transparency, blur it, overlay a graphic. And they have dozens of great songs that don't have an official video; reacting to a fan lyric video should not be blocked. Or there are some official videos that are less likely to be blocked, including their "Evolution of..." series and "90s Dance Medley"
So the lineup:
Scott- tall blonde who sings baritone
Mitch- shorter brunette who sings tenor (also usually when he sings you get “Mitch Slapped”)
Kirsten- only female also goes by Kirstie
Avi- pronounced Ah-vee he is the bass and beat boxer. Left the group on good terms do to family issues in 2017 was replaced by Matt who is also a bass and beatboxer.
Finally there’s Kevin- Kevin is an all around performer. He sings tenor, beatboxer, plays the cello and other instruments.
All of the individuals have their own solo careers and most also have their own TH-cam channel.
Scott and Mitch have known each other since they were about 8 and then they reunited in high school and met Kirsten and decided to perform as a group. They were introduced to Avi through a friend and they saw Kevin on TH-cam.
You should check out Scott and Mitch’s TH-cam channel it’s called “Superfruit”! They have some great stuff on there with several collaborations.
They did DaftPunk at a private party just standing in the middle of a room in front of a few people sitting there watching - no mics, no blue eyes... lol.. but amazing talent - it's just as great as this one you just watched! I think it's called DaftPunk StayHome? You should check that one out also!
It’s KIRStin or KIRStie (rhymes with thirsty). There was only one member change in their eleven year career. Avi, bass, left at the end of 2017 and Matt came on board. Recommend their mashups of New Rules x Are You That Somebody and Butter x Dynamite.
It may shock you to know that they put this together mostly by them selves with $400 using Avi and Kevin's closet and their kitchen counter for editing...and it won them a Grammy! Mitch is the guy singing "One more time" He had a couple of chubby years after leaving home and eating too much fast food. Then before they did Hallelujah he went on a major diet and lost a LOT of weight, which is why he looks so different from the man in Daft Punk video.
Close. I think they recorded the voice in a closet, and the video in the kitchen. So impressive!
Also, pretty sure that "major diet" was an eating disorder, from what he's hinted at later.
@@hernameispekka_Rebecca Oh, okay. I was going off what I've seen others write in comments... which may or may not be right. I do know Mitch lost a great deal of weight in about a year's time, so much so that I had wondered if he was dealing with an eating disorder. I'm glad to see he seems to have overcome it and has now for years kept his weight at healthy levels. Thanks for the info.
They didn't record it themselves, either. They DID spend $400 in supplies and shot it in Avi's kitchen... but they were working with Fifgen Films, who shot and edited it and did also definitely get paid. There's actually a kind of behind the scenes writeup on a film & photography lighting blog out there somewhere.
Mitch has kind of hinted at an eating disorder, though I've never seen him directly call it such or really discuss it. He also performed solo at a fundraiser for an eating disorder recovery program in 2017/2018ish though the official story was that he did it in support of a fan.
The only member change since they started was Avi, bass. He left in late 2017 and was replaced by Matt Sallee. Everyone else is original. Mitch and Kirstie change their looks a lot. Great reaction. Keep going down the rabbit hole. 💕💕
I loved the way your face changed when Kirstie starting singing "I Had a Dream about You"...you were mesmerized. 😄
Kirstin is literally glowing these days. She is at least halfway through her third trimester. They haven't announced a due date yet but my guess is the middle of June.
And the amazing thing is, they sound just as good when they are live in concert.
This particular vid is legendary among PTX fans. They were unknown at the time and had basically no money to speak of. Kevin wrote the arrangement, they recorded and filmed the parts in Avi's closet, did the sound mixing on the kitchen table, and sent it out to a pro for video editing for $400. And that's how they won their first Grammy.
Definitely beautiful, with a different look in practically every video. She is stunning in all of them.
She IS beautiful....and yes, Avi left to do some family stuff and go in a different direction. Mitch, extreme vocalist with tones so pure and outrageously high, has been there from the beginning. Welcome, Sunny, to the acappella rabbit hole. Don't forget Home Free and Voiceplay, also. The triumvirate if acappella groups. You will be overwhelmed.
Done a couple of home free already! But thank you!!
@@YoSunnyP Then put Voiceplay on your radar, they kill it every time! They are usually in full makeup and costume. Check out their most recent Enemy -Imagine Dragons ft AleXa! 🔥
@@YoSunnyP Also Dragonborne, if you're a Skyrim fan.
PTX were the original group that moved acapella into the amazing sound that it is today!
Mitch was almost painfully thin in the Hallelujah video and a bit heavier in Daft Punk and Mary Did You Know. No judgment, just fact. Saying that he changes up his hair, mustache, scruffy, clean, shaven and when you get to SuperFruit, his hair color. Also, his style of dress changes too. On the other hand, you'll never know what color hair Kirstin is going to be sporting either.
Gotcha! Yes, I had no idea that was him. I feel dumb.
@@YoSunnyP No reason to feel dumb. You are new to the group. If he sings like an Angel, it's Mitch!
That's still Mitch, his and Kirstin's looks change often lol. If you want to see the "new" member, Matt, (who replaced Avi the bass in 2018) you should react to their cover of Sound of Silence!!
Thank you Katie!!!!
Sunny, you've experienced Avi's mind-boggling basso profundo; now it's time to meet the current PTX bass, Matt Sallee. As I understand it, he's known as a lyrical bass; a little different voice than Avi but just as beautiful, I think. He's the tall black cleanshaven guy in videos such as "The Sound of Silence" and "Amazing Grace." His humming alone is so soothing, deep and melodic like a mellow tuba. And his lead in "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is hilarious!
Also, I keep trying to call you Sunny D, as in the citrus drink. Please excuse me. ;D
try their original " Love again"
Omg, I'm laughing literally out loud at your enjoyment of this! 🤣
Yes, this arrangement won them the first of three Grammys.
As many others have said, if you have to ask "is that Mitch?" the answer is always yes! He and Kirstie change up their looks often.
This was early Babytonix. They formed PTX in 2011 to compete on the a capella competition show The Sing Off. They were 18/19. Scott (white hair in this vid), Mitch, and Kirstie went to high school together and were known as The Trio. To compete they needed a bass and beat-boxer. They met Avi through Scott's friend (the person who would go on to become the "sixth" member producer/arranger Ben Bram) and found Kevin when his video of himself playing cello while beat-boxing (or "cello-boxing" as he calls it) went viral. They convinced him to join them and the rest, as they say, is history.
As many have already said, Avi left in 2017 and was eventually replaced by Matt Sallee. I will echo whoever it was that said Sound of Silence is a great way to be introduced to Matt. Then maybe give New Rules x Are You That Somebody a go.
Heeee, you were speaking and got as far as "now I'm even..." -- and then Mitch sang the first note and the words literally froze in your mouth. Also, Kirstie is indeed adorable; I love the crooked little smile she makes during her solo. In their official "Sound of Silence" video she wears long black hair and dark eye makeup, which caused one poster on an older reaction channel to comment "Is that a Kardashian?" XD
Rebecca is right....ROFL(yah, I know it dates me) your frozen face and open mouth are priceless tribute to Ptx's musical gifts. Just so you know....I gasped and choked on my own saliva first time hearing them do this. I also get furious when ads interrupt them and tap the skip button rapidly till returned.
@@judithboggs2196 Bwahahahaha, Judith! "I gasped and choked on my own saliva." Ohhhhh, dear. That made _me_ laugh so hard that I almost swallowed my own tongue. XD
Great reaction. The confusion over members is pretty common for PTX newbies. As someone else said, you can pretty well tell how old any video is by Mitch's look. His growth as a man and performer has been a real journey. Mitch is the youngest of the group, and was just finishing high school when they first entered on the Sing-Off competition. Growing up in Texas, he was the victim of bullying because of his unique voice, but a decade later he is fully in his own power. They perform an original song called "Happy Now," about moving through life issues to a place of personal freedom. Mitch's parts are telling.
Always a joy watching someone discovering PTX. The shock, the disbelief and the joy. Recommend Love Again (original) Gold (Kiiara Cover), La La Latch. Also some that don't have official video such as Ref, Na Na Na and Water.
Scott Hoying - white hair
Kirstin "Kirstie" Maldonado
Avi Kaplan - bearded dude (he's the one that left)
Mitch Grassi - started this song
Kevin Olusola - beat box
You are only in for two /three songs by PTX. You are going to have so much fun listening to other songs by them. You cannot find a bad song by them. I look forward to your journey with them.
Ditto
This Daft Punk medley/mashup won them their first Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or Accapella in 2014. Followed the same award for “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” in 2016 from their very first Christmas album titled “That’s Christmas To Me.” The last Grammy they won was for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for their cover of “Jolene” ft Dolly Parton.
Hopefully their cover of “The Prayer” (originally performed by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli) they recorded for their 2021 Christmas Album, “Evergreen” will win them their 4th Grammy (it would be new member & Bass Matt Sallee’s first) in 2023.

That's not a new guy. That's Mitch. He was wearing a hat in Hallelujah. He looks different in every video but he is always there.
Avi (ah-vee), the guy in the beanie, is the one who left. He was replaced by Matt. When you see two black men there, the second one is Matt. (You already know Kevin, the beat boxer.)
Her name is Kirstin (Cur-stin). She changes her look a lot too but she is always there.
Yes, they won their first Grammy for this. They recorded it in a closet and filmed it in a kitchen with a budget of $400. Here is a video of them winning, courtesy of Scott' sister. (He is the tall, blonde guy.)
They did this the kitchen and closet of one of their apartments, spent $400 and won their first Grammy!
Should you mistakenly think this is all production, they do this live. They are masters of arrangements. The Bass, Avi, was replaced by Matt in 2017. That is the only change.
Any doubt about if this is all production check out the live private performance of this. They can definitely do this live!
Especially the off mic live performance in a changing room. No chance for any funny buisness with the sound in that one, and sooo freaking close to the official version!
Also- they won a grammy for this! :)
Definitely pausing is part of reacting to Pentatonix. It just is. Also it may help to fade out the video, lower the opacity a little if you get really stuck on one. I think Bohemian Rhapsody almost always gets blocked the first time. You should check Imagine and the they do Evolution Of…Music, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Rhianna and Arianna Grande and then medleys like this one. You should check those out as well.
Thank you Melissa
Yeah, so Mitch and Kirsty change looks alot, but the new guy replaces Avi, the bass singer. You will know because there will be 2 black guys when the new guy comes in. They are so transitory, in only a dozen years they have already changed out one group member. Nice reaction. 😁😁😎
Hahah, yeah. The actual change up is quiiiiite easy to spot. The more "is this the same person?" in their band, the answer is always "yes, it's the same person".
People think they change out members so much, and talk about the "new" person. When in reality they have had only 1 member change in over a decade, and said "new" member has been solidly in the band for almost half of it's existence, haha.
The new guy you keep talking about is actually Mitch with the angel voice and cool hat in Hallelujah. He alters his looks a lot but he is a countertenor and can hit really high notes.
Love your reaction and you will love their EVOLUTION videos especially Evolution of Michael Jackson. You talk about a great mashup!!!!!
One of my favorite medley's is the 90's Dance Medley.
This video was done back in 2013 when they were just getting started (in 2011) and trying to build a big fan base. Mitch was stockier then, the reason he looks so different from his appearance in the Hallelujah video. This video won them their first Grammy award.
The song that introduces the Kirstie side-smile.
Thanks so much for your reaction! I loved it! I'll be there for all of it!
I love watching you react! Your appreciation of my "children" (I love them like they are mine!) just makes me smile!!! Thanks for giving Kevin (beatboxer) the love he deserves, coz that is SICK rhythm right there!!! Kevin is my fav!!! 💜 But I love them all!!! You will learn - I'm sure the other comments answered your questions! Pentaholics will love you and never steer you wrong!! XO
Thank you so much!!!
@@YoSunnyP 💜
If you were blown away by this performance, then you have to react to their original song they did around the same time as Daft Punk. LOVE AGAIN.
The inspiration is the same...it's like they are dressed as futuristic Steampunk Aliens.
Mitch is a beast as lead on this song, because he stays in one of his high octaves.
Kevin made a bass drop that sounds like they cheated and used 808's speaker beats. It was so good that I forgot where I was for awhile. Made me do an ass drop like I was at an EDM concert. Lol
It sounds so good in the headphones.
The more traditional sound to their A Capella would be MARY DID YOU KNOW? I get goosebumps and tear up almost every time I hear it.
This is the original crew from when they formed up for the 2011 Sing Off show. Kirstie/Kirstin (like thirsty, thirstin') and Mitch change looks a lot. The only change ever was the bass, Avi Kaplan, left in mid 2017 and Matt Sallee joined in late 2017 and shows up in 2018 recording releases.
In "Bohemian Rhapsody," remember the guy who sang "Mama, just killed a man"? That was Mitch Grassi, the guy you keep referring to as "the new guy." The *real* new guy isn't in this video since it was made before Avi Kaplan, the bass, with the corn rows, left. Everyone in this video is one of the original five members of Pentatonix.
The beatboxer is Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth). Kevin is insanely talented. Not only is he one of the best beatboxers on the planet, he has a pre-med degree from Yale; he speaks five languages, including Mandarin; and he's classically trained on piano, cello, and saxophone. It was a viral TH-cam video of Kevin beatboxing *while playing the cello* that brought him to the attention of Pentatonix when they were searching for a beatboxer to handle percussion. Kevin invented the technique, which he calls "celloboxing." He has performed at Carnegie Hall twice, once on the saxophone and once on the cello. And on the rare occasions when he can be spared from percussion long enough to take a solo he has a lovely tenor voice and is known for the great beauty of his falsetto register. And when he laughs it's like the sun coming out from behind clouds; there's a whole video of Kevin laughing at Mitch. I recommend watching Kevin's KOver of Marian Hill's version of "Down": th-cam.com/video/IGjg193h4Ok/w-d-xo.html Also, you'll like "Kevin's Fifth": th-cam.com/video/DbCasvcNx78/w-d-xo.html
Your best bet is to check the date of the video you're reviewing. If it's before 2018, it will be Scott, Mitch, Kirstie, Kevin and Avi. From 2018, instead of Avi you'll have Matt. Other than that, there have been no changes in the group, though Kirstie and Mitch are both major chameleons and sometimes it's hard to tell it's them.
I'm not sure why their label is such a pill about blocking reviewers, I would think it was a kind of free advertisement. It's not like us Pentaholics haven't watched the ink out of the official videos. Other reviewers have come up with a whole gang of methods, and one or two have mentioned simply contacting SME and asking for the block to be released for reaction purposes. However, you probably should also add a disclaimer to your text up above about "fair use" and all that.
"Sound of Silence" would be a good intro to Matt. My personal favorite, just due to the bounce between him and Kevin, is "New Rules x Are You That Somebody," which is just some astonishing syncopated bop. However, their catalog is quite large and you literally can't find a bad song on it anywhere, so have fun exploring. If you like cheerful music, then you'll love "Sing," which is one of their originals and possibly the most upbeat piece of music I've ever heard.
Enjoy.
If you want to check out a great live video, “Evolution of Beyoncé” is incredible - the official video is live, Kevin goes crazy with the beatboxing
The one who left was Avi, in 2017. This video was earlier than that, so Avi is still with them. He's the white guy with the beard and is a basso profundo, operatically trained. In the Daft Punk Medley, you are looking at the original team. Get into "Sounds of Silence" to see Matt, the guy who replace Avi. Kirsten stands out with or without a blue wig. Her voice is not to be discounted. You might be confused by the fact that Mitch and Kirstie tend to experiment with their "look" on each video. Yes, this was their first Grammy. Made at home in Avi's closet. Cost them about $400 for initial costs. Post-production was also a cost, but hey - it won them a Grammy. The 2nd Grammy is the one that usually gets people in serious disbelief. They did "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" (from the Nutcracker Suite), a musical selection with no words from a group that plays no instruments.
There is a live version of this. It was a private performance in a small room with no mics. Sounds the same. They don’t do anything in a video that they can’t perform live.
As people mentioned it was Avi who left the group for personal reasons on good terms in 2017 and was Replace by matt sallie. Niche is actually a counter tenor which is higher than a tenor And apparently it's rare to find a true counter. You have yet to hear him come even close to how high he can go. Sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between Mitch and Kristie. Mitch Kirstie and Scott all went to high school Together. Scott wanted them to Perform on the sing off Which was on NBC but he found out you had to have 5 people in your group. So a little the night before there 1st parents they got Avi and Kevin To make 5 members of the group. Kevin in addition to beatboxing Is a world class cello player he beat boxes while playing the cello and has coin the phrase cello boxing. He has performed at Carnegie hall On the cello and the saxaphone. he speaks fluent mandarin And before joining Pentatonix graduated premed from Yale. The following is a link To a video titled beginners guide to pentatonix th-cam.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/w-d-xo.html
This is all the original members.
Amazing reaction my friend Sunny!!...I have seen your Dimash's reactions, the best male singer of the world....Now I ask you: Have you seen the best female singer of the world?...The passion and dedication when Dimash is performing a song can only be compared with the person who has influenced him to sing leaving everything on stage: His idol, the queen, the incomparable, the Goddess: Lara Fabian.....Lara is the best female singer and performer of the world...She is a lyric soprano with a amazing vocal range and incredible breath control, which is one of the things that Dimash admires the most about Lara...She speaks 5 languages and sings in more than 15 languages....That's why she is the inspiration for Dimash and several singers around the world...You can see on TH-cam covers of her songs made by singers of the stature of: Dimash, Diana Ankudinova, Forestella, Sissel Kyrkjebo, Floor Jansen, Diana Navarro, Morissette Amon, Gabriel Henrique, Katrina Velarde, Cakra Khan and others...Please react to her songs, all masterpieces, in LIVE versions, because Lara is more impressive when she sings live, so you can see why she is the idol of Dimash...Try to do it in this order and almost all songs are from the same Lara’s concert “From Lara With Love” in Montreal 1999, one of her best works: 1) Je Suis Malade (Singing in French)...2) Caruso (Singing in Italian)...3) Je T'AIME (2002 Live version in Paris Singing in French)...4) Perdere L'Amore (1999 Live version Singing in Italian)...5) Adagio (1999 Live version singing in english)...6) Broken Vow (1999 Live version singing in English)...7) You are Not From Here (1999 Live version singing in English)...8) Quédate (1999 Live version singing in Spanish)....9) Ti Amo Cosi (2019 Live version Singing a trío with Dimash and Aida Garifullina)....I hope to see you first reaction soon and if you don't mind, I'd like you to mention me as the person who recommended reacting to Lara...Here you have the link of her amazing performance of the song “Je Suis Malade”....th-cam.com/video/eHSyk4SGtuY/w-d-xo.html
I hate be he one who tells you but there are about 500 PTX related videos on YT, going back all the way to Scott and Mitch performing both solo and as a duet in their High School talent show.. There are solos, duets, trios and quartets involving at least one or more members. It is a very very deep rabbit hole. At least you will not run out of material for a long long time.
Great reaction! While ALL of their music is amazing as heck, their originals are special. Run to You, and Love Again for starters. And their cover of My Heart With You gives me chills every time!
5:41 The moment this man falls in love...
Don’t let my girl see this 😭😭
@@YoSunnyP shhh, shhh. I gotcha, bro! (takes a quick peak around the room)
Kirstin/Kirstie (rhymes with Thurston/thirsty) and Mitch (who sang "One More Time" in the video) are really chameleons, and these are just their latest disguises. Seriously, they change appearance more than all of the other members combined, and often are mistaken for "new member" when they are actually part of the core group that became Pentatonix. Kirstie changes hair color (varying from blonde to black and everything in between), hair style, and eye makeup. Mitch changes...everything. Hair style (or if it's there at all), color, facial hair, etc. His fashion sense is uniquely his own. So you're not alone in being confused by whether there are new members in the group!
Others have explained about Avi and Matt, so I'll simply say that Sound of Silence is an excellent introduction to Matt, and one of his earliest videos with the group.
Imagine is a very good one i cry every time I hear it
Really enjoyed your reactions to Pentatonix and going to sub for you. You can't go wrong with any Pentatonix music.
This won a Grammy.
Top right is Mitch (The Angel voice in Hallelujah). His looks are always changing. The main difference is his weight, but the voice is always perfect. Kirstie is also a chameleon and her looks are always different. Great video.
the lineup of this video
we have scott (white hair in this video, baritone) singing the lead on get lucky
we have mitch (dark hair and white t-shirt in this video, countertenor) singing the lead on one more time
we have kirsie (as stated sounds like thirsty, blue glitter make-up, mezzosoprano) singing the lead on digital love
Kevin wears those cool glasses, he's the beatboxer and when he sings he's a tenor
and the guy with the braided hair in this video who sings television rules the nation is Avi (pronounced like Ahvee) the bass who left in 2017 and was replaced with Matt (you'll meet him, don't worry)
Suggestions for Matt: as stated Sound of Silence, You're a mean one mr grinch, new rules x are you that somebody, come along, havana, 90s dance medley, the prayer, amazing grace and please check out the live version of carol of the bells with Matt (the video was with Avi); Mitch doesn't breath (at least it feels like that to us the normal people) and the other 4 seperating in the background into individual parts knocks your head to the moon and back, it's insane.
My favorite song they sing is Mary did you know which I highly recommend it's breathy and beautiful but so breathtaking and harmonious love your vids btw 😁
My dude lost his train of thought when Kirstin took up his screen...lol. It’s ok buddy, you weren’t the only one..
Hello Sunny P. PTX are masters of A Capella arrangements....also masters of vocalizations. Mitch is not the new guy - he is the counter tenor - you saw him in the big hat in Hallelujah, also doing the electric guitar solo in Bohemian Rhapsody, with the sleeve tassels Amazing Grace and the first singer and main lead in The Prayer - he has not left the group. Yes, this won PTX their first Grammy. Suggestions for more PTX - Imagine, Sound of Silence, The Prayer, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Gold.
Perfect and New Rules are you that somebody
Great reaction
No Mitch with crazy voice is always there. He just changes looks constantly. Counter tenor. 6 octave range
Kirsty. (Sounds like,Thirsty’). Mezzo soprano. Kirsty also changes her look constantly
Scott. Tall blonde. Baritone. Can cover bass
Kevin. Best boxer extraordinaire
Avi. Bass. 2011-2017
Matt. Bass. 2018- now
Watch the sound of silence and you can see the new guy.. lol cute!
Love the video sunny P stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Check out their song "Sing". It's such a feel good song and makes you want to get up and move!
Great reaction! Well, if you ask "is this Mitch".. it's alwas him. He's in the goup from the beginning, but he looks different in literally each video.. thank god his voice hasn't changed! Only Avi who has the cornrows here left the group and was replaced by Matt.. love your enthusiasm, please keep going!
I just subbed. Thank you for giving them another chance to win you over. I'm glad you appreciate their creativity and that you enjoyed their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Yes, they did win a Grammy for this video. Interesting note, this video only cost them $400 to make, and a large percentage of that was on the blue contacts for their eyes.
Lineup:
Mitch Grassi: Tenor, keeps changing his look and has been with the group since day one. Considered the best singer in PTX by not only the fans, but by his fellow group members.
Scott Hoying: Baritone, tall blonde guy, very powerful and versatile voice. HUGE vocal range. While PTX does not have a leader, he is basically the leader of PTX.
Kirsten Maldonado: Mezzo Soprano, Only female, changes her look all the time, sometimes blonde, sometimes brunette, and even blue, always beautiful both in voice and appearance.
Avi Kaplan: Bass, looks like Jesus, left the group in 2017 for family reasons, was replaced by Matt Sallee. Special note, they won three Grammy's in three years with the last three years Avi was in the groupi and none with Matt. Matt is great, Avi is just next level better in my opinion. Avi has his own channel on TH-cam, you should check it out.
Kevin (KO) Olusola: Human 808, also sings tenor and plays the cello. By far the most talented individual, but not the best singer in PTX. Check out his channel and watch his rendition of "Down" and you can see just how amazingly talented he is. Special note: KO was premed when Mitch, Kirsten and Scott asked him to join them. Took a sabbatical and to my knowledge has never looked back.
A little background on PTX:
Mitch, Scott and Kirsten went to high school together. Wanted to start an a cappella group. Decided to to do a contest called "Sing-Off". They realized they needed a bass and beatboxer to round out the group. They learned of Avi and Kevin and invited them to join them on the Sing-Off. They actually all met for the first time at the show and won.
The Grammys for this and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy are in the category of "best arrangement (instrumental or a cappella)", not for the recording or the video.
Excuse my language but this is the shit they are freaking amazing the best of the best
Mitch and kirstie the chameleons always changing their looks
Rule of Thumb.
Mitch and Kirstin are original and current members and both are Artistic Chameleons as far as their "Look" goes. If you continue down the PTX Rabbit Hole and watch more of their Videos and you catch yourself asking "Is that Kirstin" or "Is that Mitch?"
The answer is Always Yes...
These are all original Pentatonix members. This was recorded in 2013 and won them a Grammy in 2014. The bass, Avi (with the beard), left in 2017 and was replaced by Matt. Matt is black so you can't miss him. lol Every singer is featured in some video. Kirstin is featured in a song she wrote, "Be My Eyes". Mitch is featured and really shows his stuff in a low quality video recorded live from the audience on a phone in Singapore singing "Aha" (google Aha Singapore). Matt, the new bass, is featured in "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". Scott shows his opera side in "The Prayer", as does Mitch with his angelic voice, and Kevin shows his "Band inside his mouth" stuff in a number of songs including "Oh Come All Ye Faithful". Kevin's world class cello playing is featured in "Shallow". Kevin was featured at Carnegie Hall playing the cello and, featured another time at Carnegie Hall playing the sax. Scott and Mitch combine together to perform as the group "Super Fruit" in a number of videos. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie sang together in high school and performed as a trio at a number of events. They wanted to compete in "America's Got Talent" as an acapella group but were told every group had to have at least 5 members to compete. They found Kevin on the internet and Avi the day before they performed on tv. They won a recording contract and the recording company dropped them before they recorded anything. After that they took their future into their own hands and ended up on your channel. It's fate!
If you want to see a real stand out song for kirstie watch Wizard of Ahhhs. She is really show cased in it.
Or seasons of love!
you are really right in your reactions, so, 👍
Top left is Mitch, he's older now, and looks stronger, yet small, still fabulous!!!!
The’CLOSET’ video !
I really enjoy your reaction to this video and I was able to even watch Bohemian Rapasdy on TH-cam,it wasn't blocked.
Bruh…. Sound. Of. Silence. New dude is Matt. He is NO F’N JOKE, you’ll see.
The guy on the bottom left did decide to leave, such a shame, BUT they now have another guy - fabulous!! xx
No, it's still Avi, the same bass from Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. You'll see him in all the videos up until he leaves in 2017, then you'll see the new (not new anymore) bass, Matt Sallee.
As others have said many reactions will get blocked. Most reactors will put a filter over the video, some don't show it at all. Speaking for the majority here (presumtious I know, but probably correct) we are here for YOUR reaction to PTX and have seen the official video more times than we can count, so if you need to remove the video to get your reaction through then so be it.
This is still the original combo. Avi (Base guy) with the beard in Hallelujah was replaced by Matt. Watch their 90ies Dance Medley or Sound of Silence!
that's still Mitch. and Kirstie- Avi (the bass with the beard) left and was replaced with Matt Salee..
j'adore you . . . . . and yes they won a grammy for this.
those are all the same people in all 3 videos you have watched. ALL the SAME. The guy with the beard left after a few years and was replaced in 2017. They did this video in their apartment closet and kitchen and it cost $400 total for the contacts and anything else. Mitch changes his hair and has had weight changes throughout the years and now remains very thin. Kirsty rhymes with thirsty changes her hair color a lot. The guy with the beard is Avi who left and was replaced by Matt who you will see in later videos. He is great as well. They have hundreds of songs and all are fantastic. Kevin is the beatboxer who also plays the cello in some of the videos. he can sound like a drum set when he gets going.
Kirsten/Kirsti (rhymes with thirsty); Mitch changes his looks; Avi left.
I agree with another commenter, the sound of silence is a good way to be introduced to Avi's replacement, Matt. But there are still a lot of videos with Avi that deserve to be watched, such as 'Say Something', 'Imagine', 'The Evolution of Michael Jackson', 'Can't hold Us (Macklemore cover), etc.
I can't wait for you to get into their newer stuff like 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight?' 'Shallow', 'The Prayer', etc.
Avi is the one that left, Mitch and Scott will never leave they made the group!
Kirsty rhymes with thirsty. Kirstin.
Good reaction videos
Hard to believe they did this on a $400 budget and won a grammy for it.
Sunny, not sure where to put this, but I just watched your 'Bohemian Rhapsody' reaction and it seems to be up. Ie NOT BLOCKED.
Thank you Andre! But I do know! I made a post about it on the “community” tab if you go to my channel! But I truly do appreciate you for trying to let me know!
Lmao 🤣 Mitch just look different in every video, but that's him. Avi is the bass bottom left like you thought who left and was replaced by Matt. Avi was the one who actually picked Matt to replace him.
I was like WHO IS THE NEW GUY
BA, Avi did not pick Matt to replace him. Avi had nothing to do with it. Matt auditioned along with 40+ others. He knew Ben but was not told for which band he was auditioning at first. Before the final audition he was told that it was Pentatonix. He showed up for the final audition at Scott's house having learned all of Pentatonix songs. Matt won his spot in the band based upon his talent, experience, work ethic, personality, etc.
@@vidsorama2 yeah thanks for the clarification. I read an article years back that said he did, but I just read a more recent article saying he had nothing to do with it......would have been great if he had tho! Thanks for clearing that up!👍🏽
