    Their version of “Hallelujah” is approaching 700million views. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is unbelievable.

    Pentatonix has raised the bar very high for a capella! They are astounding and have 11 years of both originals and covers. Your numbers will now explode if you continue doing reactions of them ..but you will run into a LOT of trouble getting them blocked if you don't distort the screen or whatever tricks that have been found to work, and you must stop the video occasionally as well. Welcome to a wonderful, exciting, and delightful ride in music listening to PTX. We Pentaholics will be there with you for the ride!!

    You're probably going to gravitate to Pentatonix singing the classics... Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace... I'd throw The Prayer (originally Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli) in there because it's a beeeeaaaaautiful belter if not a "classic". Maybe even Jolene with Dolly Parton which got them their third Grammy. They also do pop (and a ton of other genres and eras) but their arrangements are *always* tasteful and appropriate to the individual song.
    I'll be surprised if someone hasn't already mentioned it, but the only member change in their 11 years together is the bass - their original bass, Avi, left in 2017 and Matt (far left in this video) came in later that same year. So half of the songs I just recced will have one different member, but a lot of reactors get confused with Kirstin and Mitch who always change up their looks. Still them, though.

  • @JasonJrake
    @JasonJrake ปีที่แล้ว +13

    One place to consider starting your Pentatonix journey is at their beginning:
    They got signed from a talent show called “The Sing Off.”
    With only five members they had more full and complex arrangements than acapella groups with ten or more members.
    Wherever you go next, we will follow.
    Ps. I grew up in a religious group that forbid instruments, so I was immersed in a lot of amazing choral music, but when I first heard pentatonix, my mind was still blown.

    IMHO: SImon and Garfunkel gave a warning to the world, Disturbed gave a reprimand, and here PTX gives a promise of hope. all singing the same beautiful song. Welcome to the PTX Pentaholic addiction. everything they have done is an upgrade to the originals, and PTX original music is proof of the power of the human voice.

    In the tradition of just about all the people first reacting to Pentatonix, you said "Wow!" Sometimes it's said four or five times.

    You'd probably love their rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine". It's fabulous. It features their original bass, Avi Kaplan, instead of Matt (the young man in the white jacket). Anything before 2018 has Avi. Everything since has Matt. PTX are 3 time Grammy winners and (hopefully) going to receive their 4th for "The Prayer", which was released this past Christmas but not released in time for this year's Grammy nods.

    Something to know about Pentatonix is that what you hear on a video can be heard live. They do not do anything that cannot be repeated as a live performance. I have seen tapes of some of their live performances and they are every bit as good as the video. Check it out. A lot of people who enjoy Pentatonix think their covers are upgrades. I understand that have over 200 songs in the catalog, and while I have not heard them all, what I have heard I have enjoyed. At times there may be an instrument used in a performance but it will always be shown. eg Lindsey Sterling on violin and Kevin(beatboxer) on cello in a Radioactive cover. Their catalog is not all covers they have original songs as well.

He also plays a cello and beatboxes at the same time. This band, or group, has a wall of sound that is unbelievable! You will have to hear Hallelujah and Little Drummer Boy. One of their songs have over 600M views! So many good songs and if you are into Christmas music you are in for a treat. They have the corner on Christmas! Thanks for the reaction!

    i'd say Pentatonix is known for their classics, despite covering so many generes very well. (some of their classics include Hallelujah, The Prayer, Mad world, Bohemian Rhapsody...) They are known in particular for their christmas music, the way they can keep traditional music we've heard a million times fresh.
    amongst the pop, electriconica, classic rock, hymms, brodway, and christmas music they've done in their 10 years, they always seem to be able to bring something to their arrangements, wether it be their covers or originials

    Subscribed. Pentatonix (PTX) formed eleven years ago to compete in the third season of the Sing Off. They won. Before that, the first (Scott),second (Mitch) and fourth (Kirstin) singers from this video were friends as children and sang together in high school as The Trio.
    The third singer, Matt, is their current bass since late 2017. The original bass, Avi, left in 2017 to start his own successful music career. This is the only member change to the band.
    Kevin, the fellow on the far right, is the beatboxer/tenor/cellist and is a musical genius.
    Their record label is extremely harsh on copyrighting so your pauses and comments are a good thing to do. Even then you may need to alter the image in the future.
    PTX is generally Pop but can sing anything. They have revitalized Christmas music with several holiday albums. They started out doing covers, but now have a bit of original music also.
    Recommend their Hallelujah and Daft Punk (medley).

  • @andycofin6983

      Fun side note. The original was Tears for Fears. It was upbeat and pop. A dance tune. Jules did a cover so well with such a different spin that everyone thought his version was the original.
      Even better when he did a collaboration with Tears for Fears they his version, not thiers.

    Great reaction ! I'm subscribing in hopes of more Pentatonix. I've been a fan of them for 10 years and have never been disappointed in any of their arrangements. You may have heard them before, at Christmas time, because that is their most popular genre and they have 6 albums with covers of carols, holiday pop songs and some originals. But they also have several albums with covers of pop songs from the 40's through today. They cover genres from country to Motown, EDM, Broadway and K-pop. And all their arrangements stay true to the original while adding a creative twist that makes it theirs. I suggest their version of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling in Love"

    Hi Salty! Based on your reaction to this one, I have a feeling you are going to love PTX, masters of a cappella. They won a singing competition back in 2011 and even then the judges exclaimed they were saving a cappella by going outside the traditional. Their catalog is quite extensive and you can’t pick a bad “cover” (affectionately referred to as an “upgrade”) or original. Suspecting you may join the ranks of the rest of us Pentaholics. 👍🏻

    Enjoy. So much to see. For covers homage is always paid before they make it theirs. The Wall of Sound blows me away every time. Over the 10 plus years there has only been one change. First five had Avi, a basso profundo, who wanted to step back and go his own fabulous way. This had Matt on bass. Incredible range and soul in his voice. Each brought a unique element to the group. You will receive recommendations from everyone. I second all of them. Following to see what you do with them and other groups.

    The second soloist is Mitch Grassi, counter tenor, with a range of 6 octaves plus 1 tone (not counting his whistle tones).
    The third soloist is Matt Sallee, bass. The group's original bass, Avi Kaplan (whose lowest notes have been known to blow out amplifiers) had to leave in 2017 for personal reasons and helped the group find Matt as a replacement. Whenever the bass is taking a solo, Scott handles any necessary underlying bass notes.
    The fourth soloist is Kirstin (AKA Kirstie - rhymes with "thirsty") Maldonado, mezzo soprano and, as of September 28th of 2022, the proud mother of Elliana Violet (or Evie, for short). Mother and daughter are both doing well.
    The guy on the far right is Kevin Olusola, lyric baritone and beatboxer extraordinaire. He didn't solo because he was too busy being the entire percussion section, but when he does get a chance to sing he also has a beautiful voice. He also plays the cello and saxophone, speaks several languages including Mandarin, and went to Yale pre-med before he opted for a career in music. Before he joined Pentatonix he perfected the technique he calls "celloboxing," where he combines playing the cello with beatboxing - he has his own TH-cam channel where you can see the videos he posted of celloboxing, along with other things. It was through his TH-cam channel that the original trio (Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch) found Kevin when they decided they needed a bass and a beatboxer to round out the group and bring the number up to 5 so they could compete on The Sing-Off.

    Glad you enjoyed this song from Pentatonix! It's certainly up there with my favorites, although it's not my absolute favorite (that tends to change, depending on what song I've heard most recently).
    I think you'd enjoy Hallelujah, which has the original bass singer for Pentatonix, Avi Kaplan. Another suggestion would be Amazing Grace, with the same lineup you saw here, with Matt Sallee as the bass (3rd solo, white jacket). The change from Avi to Matt is the only personnel change in the group since they started in 2011, so they've got some history, and quite a catalog to look through.
    One suggestion I often make - look through their catalog, find a song where you didn't especially care for (or even didn't like) the original version, and then listen to the Pentatonix version to see how they "upgrade" (not just cover) the song.

    If you want to be impressed and carried away by a singing group, continue to react to Pentatonix. They do everything from opera to rap and, as has been said many times before, they don't do covers, they do upgrades. If you like Queen, listen to Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody. If you like opera, listen to The Prayer. If you like rap, react to Pentatonix Can't Hold Us. If you like Lady Gaga, listen to Shallow. If you like Enya, react to Be My Eyes, a Pentatonix original. If you like The Lion King, react to Can You Hear the Love Tonight. If you like techno electro music listen to Daft Punk. If you have ever heard Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, listen to Pentatonix sing it.

    I think Disturbed has the ultimate angry version, but Pentatonix takes the content seriously while still leaving room for hope. I find Pentatonix version more nuanced, but definitely have days when the disturbed version is the only one for my mood. Simon and Garfunkel's OG version was a perfect for its era, but would read perhaps a bit naive if produced in the current time.

    Just a little heads up on who the Pentatonix are: Scott, Kirsty and Mitch were all raised in Arlington, Texas. They went to school together and sang in their choir and even some plays. They entered a show called The Sing-Off but you had to have five members to your group to participate so they met Avi through a mutual friend I think, and Scott found Kevin online. Avi quit the band back in 2017 due to personal issues and he was replaced by Matt.
    They line up in this song is Matt he is their base, then Kirsty and she is there all around soprano and Alto, then Scott the timeline in the middle he is a baritone and does base when the bass singer is singing and can also sing tenor. Then there Mitch he is what is known as a countertener, he and has wonderful voice and you need watch out for the slaps. Kevin is there beatboxer he also plays his cello in some of their videos and does what is known as cello boxing and he can sing. Avi is in a lot of the first 5 years of videos, he is a base and has a beautiful voice. He now has a Solo career.

    Notes:
    Original Bass: Avi Kaplan (People say he looks like Jesus) - Left the group for family reasons. Matt Salle replaced him.
    When Matt has a verse, Scott (blonde) will step in on Bass. He (& Matt) have an insane range!
    Mitch: He’s a chameleon in both clothes and hair with an amazing voice and crazy range.
    Kirstin: Only Female, amazing voice and strength
    Kevin: Beatboxer & Singer - He’s amazing
    ** EVERYTHING they do sounds the same LIVE. Their philosophy is that if they can’t perform it live and sound the same, they won’t cover or make the song.
    Scott, Mitch, Kirsten are all from Arlington, TX (DFW Area) and went to school together

    I'm an old Salty too and if you want absolutely a MIND BLOWING experience, you need to do "Bohemian Rhapsody" , then followed with "Hallelujah" but in my opinion, pick the Desert Scene verses the live version. The live is also excellent but many people get goosebumps on the Hallelujah desert scene more so. I clicked bc being old and salty myself, I'm anticipating watching with you for your reaction. Those 2 songs are EPIC.

  • @jerolddavis

    PTX is absolutely absurd. They have elevated a capella to places it's never reached before. Everything they do is this good, a good chunk of it is even better than this. They do both covers as well as some stunning original music.
    Some covers to get you started:
    Hallelujah
    Daft Punk (mashup/medley of Daft Punk songs, won their first of 3 Grammys)
    Bohemian Rhapsody
    Jolene ft. Dolly Parton (their 3rd Grammy winner)
    Imagine
    The Prayer
    And a good sampling of their originals (mostly my personal favorites, but they're all awesome):
    Love Again
    Be My Eyes
    Love Me When I Don't
    Run To You
    Coffee In Bed
    Have a great time diving into their catalog, you will never be disappointed!

  • @gailratliff7592
    @gailratliff7592 ปีที่แล้ว

    This song can never be done again by anyone since Disturbs version came out. The best ever. I highly suggest you react to Disturbs version. Pentatonix did a great version but they were blown out of the water by David- Disturb's version. Will totally rock your world. They have over 840 million views already.

    Subbing hoping for more PTX. Nothing much to add to what's been said already. Goosebumps are considered standard, and sometimes tears. Enjoy!
