This video was made in their kitchen and edited in the closet and cost a total of around $400. It won them their first of 3 Grammy awards no other a capella group before or since has ever won a Grammy. They also were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year - another 1st for a capella. Other incredible songs to react to would be, IMHO, A Kiss From a Rose (a live video), Shallow, Imagine, and an original would be good to hear, Sing. Please note that there has been one - and one only - change in the group. The bass from this song (the one with the beard) left the group in 2017. Matt, the new bass has now been with the group for 6 years now, as long as Avi was. Mitch, the first singer here, and Kirstin change their look often, so don't be tricked into thinking they are new members. Enjoy your journey!
While you wait for them to come your way, check out many of their concerts, but the one that will show how they perform live, check out their "2016 PopSpring Concert"...then you will realize how super talented these guys are !!!!!!
Their original, Love Again is a similar vibe and a must see. Avi and Kevin kill the drops!!! If you get a chance to see them live, TAKE IT! they are so good live. Kevin and Matt, their current Bass singer, have an amazing stage presence together. They were born performers! All of them were!
Pentatonix has over 300 songs in their catalog. Covers and originals, just a couple are "Havana", "Mary Did You Know", "The Sound of Silence", "Problem", "Kiss From A Rose" live Vevo version, "Can't Hold Us" Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Cover. The list goes on & on....
You've already reacted to Hallelujah so now consider: Sound of Silence, The Prayer, Amazing Grace, and Bohemian Rhapsody. ALL their videos are incredible but these are top ones and my favorites!
We do not think your over reacting. We all just can't believe what we are seeing or hearing at first. LOL, they are amazing. The best in my Opinion. Can't wait for your next reaction to them. They do this live in concert. They also have a private performance singing this with no microphone. There is no beef between Pentatonix and Homefree. Pentatonix loves everyone and will help anyone achieve their goals. ❤ 10 out of 10.
Look up their Daft Punk private performance. It’s just the 5 of them in a room with no mics performing the song for a private audience and recorded on someone’s phone. And all the skips & glitches you hear, they’re actually doing that themselves. Plus, Kevin is just that good with the beatboxing & Avi’s added bass lines.
And I think I suggested a bunch of songs under the Hallelujah video. You may need to take the time soon to do a whole Pentatonix week (or a month, although you still wouldn’t be able to get through all their vids even if you did 2-3 a day lol)
Great reaction..they are the best acapella group by far ...super talented ..so glad you have been introduced to them so many amazing songs still to react to
Yeah, Leo thinks he overreacts? Nah, we ALL react same way, Leo. Pentatonix blows our socks off - every single song they do. They are ADORED around the world.
Great reaction to this awesome Pentatonix medley of 7 songs by the duo (band) named Daft Punk. Thank you. Pentatonix has hundreds of amazing songs and videos. I look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions.
You will think that there is post production skipping, so to disprove that you need to catch the "Private Performance" th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D where they stand at the front of a back-stage room and sing with no mic's and captured on a fan mobile device so the sound is not 100%
Definitely check Ticketmaster. They'll be doing a US tour this summer, so find a concert near you, but do it now...they sell out venues real fast!! This is amazing and hard to believe they recorded and filmed it in their own apartments. Avi and Kevin's kitchen was filming and editing central and the recording was done in one of their closets. It was sent out for professional editing and production, but still...for a budget of around $400 for the basics +more for the professionals, they managed to scoop an Grammy for this. Suggestions: New Rules /Am I That Someone, Evolution of Michael Jackson, The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mad World,Sound of Silence, Be My Eyes (original), Coffee In Bed (original), Sing (original),.
I like to use the term I've seen several times to describe fans of both PTX and Home Free - PentaFries. I love both groups; which one I listen to depends on what I want to hear at that moment. And I love Voice Play just as much!
As far a I know, all the a capella groups get on well. It is the overzealous fans that sometimes create some beef. Thanks for the reaction.. Subbed for more PTX
You have Kevin beatboxing and Avi with the bass. Together they make the sounds and music. Sometimes you can not tell it’s both because they mix so well together
Some of the fans may feel adversarial for whatever reason but Pentatonix and Home Free are friends with each other. In fact Avi Kaplan collaborated with Home Free on "Ring of Fire". Note, they both won their seasons of NBC's a cappella group competition "The Sing Off", so they share that connection as well.
Avi actually did do a song with Home Free, they did Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. As for THIS video, I always felt so sorry for Avi, it looked like him and those contacts did NOT get along so well, his eyes were so red!!! There is a video of them performing this song just kind of on the fly. Look up 'Daft Punk Mix Private Performance' My daughter went to one of their concerts, while Avi was still in the group, while I waited to pick her up, across the street, I was worried the windows in the old building were going to explode from the bass!! They are really amazing. I really like their songs Mary Did You Know and the collab with Lindsey Sterling on Radioactive (although not entirely accapella because of Lyndsey's violin). Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody was really amazing also.
I love your reactions and know you are reacting just like every single one of us probably mind-blown and don't know what to think so I love it that somebody else actually expresses their feelings about Pentatonix the way I do keep it up brother you should check out the version of them singing it in a room of the few people it's a private show
There is a live private performance of this which I believe was filmed on a phone in a hotel room before a show. No microphones or anything. Just the 5 of them and their voices. Check it out.
Longtime fans still get blown away by them. It was fun to watch to reaction videos from their recent releases, Oh Holy Night and Kiss from a Rose. Minds blown everywhere LoL
Daft Punk was a French duo who specialized in techno/EDM type music, with a career that lasted nearly 30 years - they broke up in the early 2020s. This mashup contains 7 Daft Punk songs: Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder-Better-Faster-Stronger, Television Rules the Nation, Around the World.
New subscriber, loved your “million out of 10” rating for PTX! Other performances from them you may like are the live VEVO video of their cover of Kiss From a Rose, a recent release; their Evolution of Michael Jackson video; their ‘90s Dance Medley; and maybe their cover of Amazing Grace for a little touch of the spiritual. I missed your reaction of Hallelujah so I’m off to watch that now. Peace from Ohio …
I wouldn't say you're overreacting at the early stages but I have found that it's best to pace yourself with Pentatonix because they often throw in surprise moments later in their arrangements that really require the big reaction
There are 3 groups that are awesome a capella bands. PTX, Home Free and VoicePlay all of them are unique in their own way. As you have been told about PTX I'll say a bit about the other two, Home Free tends towards country, but can and do any genre these guys are very funny and you want to be able to go to BBQs and tailgate parties with them. VoicePlay us another band that can do all different genres also but are best known as the theatre kids of a capella, they aren't under any labels so can do their own thing, some of my favorites are Creep, Seven Nation Army, The Dragonborn Comes from the game Skyrim, Hoist the Colors from the third Pirates of the Caribbean movies and I have to throw in a Disney one, We Don't Talk About Bruno. Hope you will look into a few more songs of all 3 bands as the music is fantastic and you cant miss with any songs they all do. A lot of us are cross over fans of all 3 groups, this rabbit hole is deep, wide and friendly.
Congratulations. You are now officially a Pentaholic. I really enjoyed your reaction. Your smile is infectious and I could see the joy and amazement in your face throughout the whole song. We all have been there! I subscribed to hear more Pentatonix reactions. I would like to suggest Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us by PTX. We always say they do upgrades, not covers. Their upgrade of Can't Hold Us is amazing. PTX has hundreds of songs, so you will never be without material from PTX to react to. And as you could probably tell, PTX is the premier acapella group of the world. Enjoy going down the rabbit hole and we will be right there with you!
While Pentatonix as a whole has not collaborated with Home Free, if you watch Home Free's original official video of "Ring of Fire", PTX's bass (at the time, as he left in 2017) Avi Kaplan was featured as a second bass along with Tim Foust. Bass Buddies.
And Avi did a quick cameo on "Honey I'm Good". Home Free and Voice Play individual members have also collabbed on a few videos. It could be that PTX tours the most and has the least time available - especially with everyone getting married and starting families recently! Voice Play rarely, if ever, tours. Home Free has probably done the most collabs with original artists. PTX DID collab with members from ATEEZ & that girl group from Japan. Also 3 times with Lindsay Sterling. Their entire 2022 Christmas album was collabs. Scott's done a lot of collabs with other individual artists and Superfruit did some, too. 🤗
And theyre Amazin. . .my favorite group ive seen them live 2Xs even more Amazing live. Please keep exploring their music you cant go wrong with anything you choose of threirs. . . Great reaction !
Great reaction. They are sooooo talented. Wait till you see some of their live recordings. They are BETTER live! I just subscribed. I’m here for the Pentatonix reactions. Thanks.
I haven’t looked through all the comments so I’m just gonna say this, but apologize already said: the very first a cappella reaction you did “ring of fire” by Home Free featured Avi Kaplan the original bass of PTX so there’s no bad blood between the groups or the fan bases! We love to see anybody appreciate good a cappella music
The members of Pentatonix In this video we have, in order of first appearance: Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), the clean shaven dark-haired guy who keeps singing "One more time," is a natural contratenor with a range of just over six octaves. Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, said Mitch has "one of the prettiest voices I have ever heard in my life." Mitch moves seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice, and all the other members of Pentatonix agree that he's their best singer. Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. Scott is the guy with white hair and eyebrows; normally he's blond but he'd recently decided to bleach his hair when they made this. Scott's range begins somewhere in the middle of a normal bass range and extends up through a normal tenor range. When Pentatonix's bass has a solo Scott can and does take over the bass's harmony line. Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, bearded white guy, is a lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo (his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances), but his range extends upward to about the middle of a normal tenor range. Avi is also the only member of Pentatonix who is no longer with the band; he resigned in 2017 for a variety of personal reasons, but he's since gone on to have a very successful solo career. I highly recommend subscribing to his TH-cam channel: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, the only woman in Pentatonix. Kirstin can sing anything from low alto through coloratura soprano, and she has fantastic whistle notes on top of that. Recently Pentatonix has begun describing her as an "alto soprano." The fifth member of Pentatonix is the black guy wearing the visor: Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), beatboxer extraordinaire. Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper and an excellent dancer. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on the cello and once on the saxophone. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place. Not in this video: Avi was succeeded by Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass, who has now been with Pentatonix longer than Avi was. It's hard to be sure just what Matt's range is, because it's still growing. To find his current range I recommend listening to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah," though you should probably watch their official video of "Hallelujah" first so you can hear what it sounded like with Avi singing the second verse. You can find the recording with Matt here: th-cam.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, and it will blow you away. His lowest notes don't blow out speakers (though they may do so in a year or two), but on the high end he reaches the upper end of a tenor range. I believe he has the largest range of any member of Pentatonix, past or present.
I just found you today. I love your honest enthusiasm and pure joy reacting to something new. ❤ May I suggest the phenomenon that is Chinchilla. You will love her. Don't be scared. She is actually quite sweet in real life.
Not sure where you're located, but tickets are on sale for their upcoming American tour that begins in a month or two, maybe sooner. They sell out FAST. So if you're really interested, do get your tickets ASAP. After their American tour, they're headed for Europe. I hope that tickets are still available for you!
They are headed for Europe??!! When? And where do I find more info on it? I'm stalking their sites daily to see if any tours in Europe are planned but haven't found anything. Really desperately hoping this is true 😅
@@TheDKLioness Looks like I was wrong about the European tour coming up. Thought I had read a couple of months ago that they were headed there after their spring/summer tour in America. Apologies.
Here is a link to this same song, but to a private concert on the back stage. No mics, no effects, and they sound as good as in the recording! They are so good! th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
O. Holy. Night. Whatever your favorite version was, if you had one, this will be added to the top. Pentatonix out did themselves. th-cam.com/video/ReJAU2mXm8w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KxTucLf0LY50FJdc
I have seen Pentatonix three times in person - they are as good in person. Watch the Popspring Concert which is a live concert. It’s about 25 minutes but its mind blowing how outstanding each of the four selections is and you will love the Michael Jackson medley 🥰
Daft Punk is the name of a French electronic music duo; they disbanded in 2021. You can find out more about them here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk At the time Pentatonix recorded this their publisher was Madison Gate, a minor subsidiary of Sony which specialized in publishing movie soundtracks. Not exactly the ideal publisher for a group like Pentatonix, but it was better than just posting everything to TH-cam and hoping to get some patrons, which is what they'd been doing before. Madison Gate didn't have a recording studio - they'd had no need of one for movie soundtracks - but Pentatonix had already discovered that a closet had good acoustics so they were cool with recording audio tracks there. Madison Gate DID hook Pentatonix up with an excellent video recording company named FifGen. PTX had a venue lined up for this video shoot, but it fell through at the last minute, so someone at FifGen suggested that they get some black sheets and set up a sort of photo booth in Avi and Kevin's kitchen. The single ring light came out of PTX's $400 budget for this shoot, as did the makeup, presumably including the blue contact lenses. (Kevin's eyes couldn't tolerate the contacts, hence the visor. Judging by how red Avi's eyes were, he must have had trouble with the contacts also.) I'm not sure, but I THINK FifGen supplied the black light. I don't know who edited the video, either FifGen or Ben Bram. Almost certainly the audio was edited by Ed Boyer. This won them their first Grammy, for "Best Arrangement Instrumental Or A Cappella." (As their co-arranger, Ben Bram shared the Grammy.) Before "Daft Punk Medley," that Grammy category did not exist - the Academy changed "Best Instrumental Arrangement" just so they could nominate Pentatonix! The songs in this mashup are: • “Technologic” • “One More Time” • “Get Lucky” • “Digital Love” • “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” • “Television Rules the Nation” • “Around the World” You can find the complete lyrics here: genius.com/Pentatonix-daft-punk-lyrics I recommend watching their private performance of this. Recorded on a fan's cell phone, just the five of them, off-mic., in a quiet room. The balance isn't good - Kevin's beatboxing really does need amplification - but you'll be surprised by how close it is to the professionally edited version. th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
This video was made in their kitchen and edited in the closet and cost a total of around $400. It won them their first of 3 Grammy awards no other a capella group before or since has ever won a Grammy. They also were awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last year - another 1st for a capella. Other incredible songs to react to would be, IMHO, A Kiss From a Rose (a live video), Shallow, Imagine, and an original would be good to hear, Sing.
Please note that there has been one - and one only - change in the group. The bass from this song (the one with the beard) left the group in 2017. Matt, the new bass has now been with the group for 6 years now, as long as Avi was. Mitch, the first singer here, and Kirstin change their look often, so don't be tricked into thinking they are new members. Enjoy your journey!
This won them a grammy
While you wait for them to come your way, check out many of their concerts, but the one that will show how they perform live, check out their "2016 PopSpring Concert"...then you will realize how super talented these guys are !!!!!!
Thanks, I will
Their original, Love Again is a similar vibe and a must see. Avi and Kevin kill the drops!!! If you get a chance to see them live, TAKE IT! they are so good live. Kevin and Matt, their current Bass singer, have an amazing stage presence together. They were born performers! All of them were!

You've already reacted to Hallelujah so now consider: Sound of Silence, The Prayer, Amazing Grace, and Bohemian Rhapsody. ALL their videos are incredible but these are top ones and my favorites!
I was just gonna say that, you beat me to it. ❤
Yeah this is pretty incredible!
It’s quite fine of you to not have words 😎😎🐨🇦🇺
We do not think your over reacting. We all just can't believe what we are seeing or hearing at first. LOL, they are amazing. The best in my Opinion. Can't wait for your next reaction to them. They do this live in concert. They also have a private performance singing this with no microphone. There is no beef between Pentatonix and Homefree. Pentatonix loves everyone and will help anyone achieve their goals. ❤ 10 out of 10.
And Pentatonix has a star on the Walk of Fame also. They are still friends with Avi and the guys on Home Free. They all are great!
No we don’t think you’re overreacting. We all feel the same way. Subscribing for more Pentatonix reactions!
Look up their Daft Punk private performance. It’s just the 5 of them in a room with no mics performing the song for a private audience and recorded on someone’s phone. And all the skips & glitches you hear, they’re actually doing that themselves. Plus, Kevin is just that good with the beatboxing & Avi’s added bass lines.

Great reaction..they are the best acapella group by far ...super talented ..so glad you have been introduced to them so many amazing songs still to react to
Yeah, Leo thinks he overreacts? Nah, we ALL react same way, Leo. Pentatonix blows our socks off - every single song they do. They are ADORED around the world.
You have yet to scratch the surface. They are the best in the world at what they do! NUFFSAID
The Prayer and Imagine are two of my favorites.
Oh I always recommend The Prayer but I haven't mentioned Imagine and I should! It brought tears to this guys eyes for sure!
Great reaction. Subbed for more PTX. Try their GOLD cover. Simple and fantastic
Everything they record they also do live. Check it out!! It's called a medly of songs.
Great reaction to this awesome Pentatonix medley of 7 songs by the duo (band) named Daft Punk. Thank you. Pentatonix has hundreds of amazing songs and videos. I look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions.
Check out their live performances. They have one live from 2022 at the Hollywood Bowl where they sing it and it’s amazing.
PTX is jus that badass
You will think that there is post production skipping, so to disprove that you need to catch the "Private Performance" th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D where they stand at the front of a back-stage room and sing with no mic's and captured on a fan mobile device so the sound is not 100%
Nope we don’t think you’re overreacting lol it’s a normal response to PTX 😂 Subbed for more PTX
Definitely check Ticketmaster. They'll be doing a US tour this summer, so find a concert near you, but do it now...they sell out venues real fast!!
This is amazing and hard to believe they recorded and filmed it in their own apartments. Avi and Kevin's kitchen was filming and editing central and the recording was done in one of their closets. It was sent out for professional editing and production, but still...for a budget of around $400 for the basics +more for the professionals, they managed to scoop an Grammy for this.
Suggestions: New Rules /Am I That Someone, Evolution of Michael Jackson, The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mad World,Sound of Silence, Be My Eyes (original), Coffee In Bed (original), Sing (original),.
Check the Pentatonix home channel for upcoming concerts and ticket information.
Another great reaction to PTX!
Looking forward to more!!!!
Pentaholics and Home Fries got no beef, we all good. Check out their mashup New Rules x Are You That Somebody. Also the "Evolution" videos, esp MJ.
I like to use the term I've seen several times to describe fans of both PTX and Home Free - PentaFries. I love both groups; which one I listen to depends on what I want to hear at that moment. And I love Voice Play just as much!
I think you've joined the ranks of the Pentaholics!!! Welcome!!!
The transitions from song to song are impeccable.
A newbie to PTX.... Enjoy the ride! They do everything from pop, classic rock, country, gospel, rap, medleys, body perc.... Their talent is limitless.
How can you not over react to PTX!?! They're amazing!!!
They are AMAZING live! I was front row at their Texas show in September and no matter how many times I hear them, my mind is blown!
These artists are super human
As far a I know, all the a capella groups get on well. It is the overzealous fans that sometimes create some beef. Thanks for the reaction.. Subbed for more PTX
You have Kevin beatboxing and Avi with the bass. Together they make the sounds and music. Sometimes you can not tell it’s both because they mix so well together
Recommend their Evolution of Rihanna and their 90s Dance Medley.
Pentatonix - Bohemian Rapsody is AMAZING it got the approval of Brian May (one of the members of Quees) he linked to the song from his Twitter
PS.. I think You've become a Pentaholic. 😊 WELCOME!
Some of the fans may feel adversarial for whatever reason but Pentatonix and Home Free are friends with each other. In fact Avi Kaplan collaborated with Home Free on "Ring of Fire". Note, they both won their seasons of NBC's a cappella group competition "The Sing Off", so they share that connection as well.
LOVE YOUR REACTION!!! It is amazing!
Avi actually did do a song with Home Free, they did Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.

This won them their 1st Grammy, Daft Punk was a band and this is a medley of Daft Punk songs
You should hear how they do an acapella version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Just as mind-blowing. You should definitely consider reacting to that next
That is what you call gifted and talented brother!!
This is only the beginning! They are fantastic! One of the best bands out there! Thanks for reacting!
I love their evolution of Michael Jackson, evolution of music are a couple. Also “God only knows”. They just get better and better through the years
An EPIC reaction. They are amazing. You need to do all of their songs. They will blow you away with their talent
There is a live private performance of this which I believe was filmed on a phone in a hotel room before a show. No microphones or anything. Just the 5 of them and their voices. Check it out.
They won their first Grammy with that mashup
Longtime fans still get blown away by them. It was fun to watch to reaction videos from their recent releases, Oh Holy Night and Kiss from a Rose. Minds blown everywhere LoL
They're even better live!!!
Daft Punk was a French duo who specialized in techno/EDM type music, with a career that lasted nearly 30 years - they broke up in the early 2020s. This mashup contains 7 Daft Punk songs: Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder-Better-Faster-Stronger, Television Rules the Nation, Around the World.
LeoJ just keep listening to Pentatonix covers - they never fail to amaze.
New subscriber, loved your “million out of 10” rating for PTX! Other performances from them you may like are the live VEVO video of their cover of Kiss From a Rose, a recent release; their Evolution of Michael Jackson video; their ‘90s Dance Medley; and maybe their cover of Amazing Grace for a little touch of the spiritual. I missed your reaction of Hallelujah so I’m off to watch that now. Peace from Ohio …
Avi, the bass for PTX, did do a song with Home Free....Ring Of Fire. Avi, ex-PTX bass, lives in Nashville and so does Tim Foust, Home Free's bass.
With the Christmas season be sure to check out their rendition of "Mary Did You Know".
They can rap too , try 'Can't Hold Us ' and 'Starships' 😉
As impressive as their videos are, seeing them live is UNBELIEVABLE! 10/10, highly recommend.
Next: „90ies Dance Medley“!
I wouldn't say you're overreacting at the early stages but I have found that it's best to pace yourself with Pentatonix because they often throw in surprise moments later in their arrangements that really require the big reaction
I agree with your rating - a million out of 10!
I guess bohemian rhapsody will knock you off of your chair. I told you that Daft Punk was crazy and Can't hold us is rap, relieve it or not.
First timers are so fun to watch. Great reaction
There are 3 groups that are awesome a capella bands. PTX, Home Free and VoicePlay all of them are unique in their own way. As you have been told about PTX I'll say a bit about the other two, Home Free tends towards country, but can and do any genre these guys are very funny and you want to be able to go to BBQs and tailgate parties with them. VoicePlay us another band that can do all different genres also but are best known as the theatre kids of a capella, they aren't under any labels so can do their own thing, some of my favorites are Creep, Seven Nation Army, The Dragonborn Comes from the game Skyrim, Hoist the Colors from the third Pirates of the Caribbean movies and I have to throw in a Disney one, We Don't Talk About Bruno. Hope you will look into a few more songs of all 3 bands as the music is fantastic and you cant miss with any songs they all do. A lot of us are cross over fans of all 3 groups, this rabbit hole is deep, wide and friendly.
They so well trained!
Definitely check out a concert, you won’t regret it! They are even better live!
Yes this is all them. Thus won their 1st grammy
You are on your way to being a Pentaholic. Welcome in!!
Great reaction!❤ This group is amazing & so talented!❤
Congratulations. You are now officially a Pentaholic. I really enjoyed your reaction. Your smile is infectious and I could see the joy and amazement in your face throughout the whole song. We all have been there! I subscribed to hear more Pentatonix reactions. I would like to suggest Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us by PTX. We always say they do upgrades, not covers. Their upgrade of Can't Hold Us is amazing. PTX has hundreds of songs, so you will never be without material from PTX to react to. And as you could probably tell, PTX is the premier acapella group of the world. Enjoy going down the rabbit hole and we will be right there with you!
While Pentatonix as a whole has not collaborated with Home Free, if you watch Home Free's original official video of "Ring of Fire", PTX's bass (at the time, as he left in 2017) Avi Kaplan was featured as a second bass along with Tim Foust. Bass Buddies.
“Happy Now”, you will love it! Also, their cover of “Shallow”.
So enjoyed this reaction. 😊❤
Pentatonix and Home Free are friendly towards each other, but they’ve never collaborated on a song. I wish.
Avi Kaplan, the original bass singer for Pentatonix, did collaborate with Home Free on Ring of Fire.
And Avi did a quick cameo on "Honey I'm Good". Home Free and Voice Play individual members have also collabbed on a few videos. It could be that PTX tours the most and has the least time available - especially with everyone getting married and starting families recently! Voice Play rarely, if ever, tours. Home Free has probably done the most collabs with original artists. PTX DID collab with members from ATEEZ & that girl group from Japan. Also 3 times with Lindsay Sterling. Their entire 2022 Christmas album was collabs. Scott's done a lot of collabs with other individual artists and Superfruit did some, too. 🤗
And theyre Amazin. . .my favorite group ive seen them live 2Xs even more Amazing live. Please keep exploring their music you cant go wrong with anything you choose of threirs. . .
Great reaction !
Maybe with we are the world
Great reaction. They are sooooo talented. Wait till you see some of their live recordings. They are BETTER live! I just subscribed. I’m here for the Pentatonix reactions. Thanks.
You are not over reacting. Theycare that amazing!
Awesome Reaction!
I haven’t looked through all the comments so I’m just gonna say this, but apologize already said: the very first a cappella reaction you did “ring of fire” by Home Free featured Avi Kaplan the original bass of PTX so there’s no bad blood between the groups or the fan bases! We love to see anybody appreciate good a cappella music
The members of Pentatonix
In this video we have, in order of first appearance:
Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), the clean shaven dark-haired guy who keeps singing "One more time," is a natural contratenor with a range of just over six octaves. Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, said Mitch has "one of the prettiest voices I have ever heard in my life." Mitch moves seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice, and all the other members of Pentatonix agree that he's their best singer.
Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. Scott is the guy with white hair and eyebrows; normally he's blond but he'd recently decided to bleach his hair when they made this. Scott's range begins somewhere in the middle of a normal bass range and extends up through a normal tenor range. When Pentatonix's bass has a solo Scott can and does take over the bass's harmony line.
Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, bearded white guy, is a lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo (his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances), but his range extends upward to about the middle of a normal tenor range. Avi is also the only member of Pentatonix who is no longer with the band; he resigned in 2017 for a variety of personal reasons, but he's since gone on to have a very successful solo career. I highly recommend subscribing to his TH-cam channel: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic
Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, the only woman in Pentatonix. Kirstin can sing anything from low alto through coloratura soprano, and she has fantastic whistle notes on top of that. Recently Pentatonix has begun describing her as an "alto soprano."
The fifth member of Pentatonix is the black guy wearing the visor: Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), beatboxer extraordinaire. Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper and an excellent dancer. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on the cello and once on the saxophone. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place.
Not in this video: Avi was succeeded by Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass, who has now been with Pentatonix longer than Avi was. It's hard to be sure just what Matt's range is, because it's still growing. To find his current range I recommend listening to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah," though you should probably watch their official video of "Hallelujah" first so you can hear what it sounded like with Avi singing the second verse. You can find the recording with Matt here: th-cam.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL
Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, and it will blow you away. His lowest notes don't blow out speakers (though they may do so in a year or two), but on the high end he reaches the upper end of a tenor range. I believe he has the largest range of any member of Pentatonix, past or present.
React to their cover of Macklemore and Ryan. They rap in that one or their cover of Problem.
Can you email the link to me please Leojofficial@yahoo.com
@@therealLeoJofficial here is the other. Can’t wait to see your reaction. These were done a few years ago. We call this baby Pentatonix.
Great reaction!
THAT IS WHY PTX IS THE NUMBER ONE ACAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD 🌎.
😊😊😊
I just found you today. I love your honest enthusiasm and pure joy reacting to something new. ❤ May I suggest the phenomenon that is Chinchilla. You will love her. Don't be scared. She is actually quite sweet in real life.
You're not overreacting, because we felt the same way the first time we heard/saw it. 😂
Daft Punk Medley
Your not over reacting because I can guarantee you we all had that same reaction .
Not sure where you're located, but tickets are on sale for their upcoming American tour that begins in a month or two, maybe sooner. They sell out FAST. So if you're really interested, do get your tickets ASAP. After their American tour, they're headed for Europe. I hope that tickets are still available for you!
They are headed for Europe??!! When? And where do I find more info on it? I'm stalking their sites daily to see if any tours in Europe are planned but haven't found anything. Really desperately hoping this is true 😅
@@TheDKLioness
Looks like I was wrong about the European tour coming up. Thought I had read a couple of months ago that they were headed there after their spring/summer tour in America. Apologies.
If you want to be amazed listen to Hallelujah and Daft Punk Live at the Hollywood Bowl 2022 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Voice play - nothing else matters
check out a group called "Home Free" , also an amazing group like this.
Here is a link to this same song, but to a private concert on the back stage.
No mics, no effects, and they sound as good as in the recording! They are so good!
th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡ Are you ready for this!?!
Remember, they only do upgrades!
No special effects, watch the “private performance” of this with no microphones m.th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
O. Holy. Night. Whatever your favorite version was, if you had one, this will be added to the top. Pentatonix out did themselves. th-cam.com/video/ReJAU2mXm8w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KxTucLf0LY50FJdc
I have seen Pentatonix three times in person - they are as good in person. Watch the Popspring Concert which is a live concert. It’s about 25 minutes but its mind blowing how outstanding each of the four selections is and you will love the Michael Jackson medley 🥰
$400 budget, filmed in a kitchen, recorded in a closert = 1 grammy the ptx way. pls add voice play and the bass gang into your acapella rotation
Daft Punk is the name of a French electronic music duo; they disbanded in 2021. You can find out more about them here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daft_Punk
At the time Pentatonix recorded this their publisher was Madison Gate, a minor subsidiary of Sony which specialized in publishing movie soundtracks. Not exactly the ideal publisher for a group like Pentatonix, but it was better than just posting everything to TH-cam and hoping to get some patrons, which is what they'd been doing before.
Madison Gate didn't have a recording studio - they'd had no need of one for movie soundtracks - but Pentatonix had already discovered that a closet had good acoustics so they were cool with recording audio tracks there.
Madison Gate DID hook Pentatonix up with an excellent video recording company named FifGen. PTX had a venue lined up for this video shoot, but it fell through at the last minute, so someone at FifGen suggested that they get some black sheets and set up a sort of photo booth in Avi and Kevin's kitchen.
The single ring light came out of PTX's $400 budget for this shoot, as did the makeup, presumably including the blue contact lenses. (Kevin's eyes couldn't tolerate the contacts, hence the visor. Judging by how red Avi's eyes were, he must have had trouble with the contacts also.) I'm not sure, but I THINK FifGen supplied the black light.
I don't know who edited the video, either FifGen or Ben Bram. Almost certainly the audio was edited by Ed Boyer.
This won them their first Grammy, for "Best Arrangement Instrumental Or A Cappella." (As their co-arranger, Ben Bram shared the Grammy.) Before "Daft Punk Medley," that Grammy category did not exist - the Academy changed "Best Instrumental Arrangement" just so they could nominate Pentatonix!
The songs in this mashup are:
• “Technologic”
• “One More Time”
• “Get Lucky”
• “Digital Love”
• “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”
• “Television Rules the Nation”
• “Around the World”
You can find the complete lyrics here: genius.com/Pentatonix-daft-punk-lyrics
I recommend watching their private performance of this. Recorded on a fan's cell phone, just the five of them, off-mic., in a quiet room. The balance isn't good - Kevin's beatboxing really does need amplification - but you'll be surprised by how close it is to the professionally edited version. th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
