My take on this video is that they were doing an allegory of their early journey... Winning the Sing-Off and being poised for "liftoff to the stars", being dropped by the label they had earned with their win, then deciding to "build it themselves" (via self producing TH-cam, and then later "indy" videos like this one, paid for with product placement for their sponsor) and successfully "reaching space" despite the early setback. Another vestige of this kind of tribute to their early "starving artist" days is the frequent guest-star appearance by a couch in even some of their most recent videos, as their earliest videos on TH-cam were just the five of them sitting on a couch (in the now familiar trio-in-the-back, bass and beatboxer in the front configuration) and recording themselves singing on an iPad.
Kevin is a very strong Christian and has had some problems with certain words in lyrics. There was one that caused a problem during the end of their Sing Off performances & they got around it beautifully! It's probably PART of what happened here. Bravo to Kevin for standing for what he believes & to the rest of the group for respecting him enough to work around those few situations. 💖
If I remember correctly, this was their first official video ever, it was self produced, as was everything they did at the beginning. You're really reacting to some deep cuts and I'm loving it!!! You can really hear Avi's overtone singing in this one!
BABY PENTATONIX☺🌸 They are SO ADORABLE!! And yes they keep the lyrics PG and it works AMAZINGLY!. They even did it pn Thrift Shop. You don't have to, but if you watch their videos till the end you'll see how likable they are😌
I love that you are getting their early tracks. I always thought this video was cheesy but the track itself is fire! BTW Pentatonix will never swear in their tracks to respect Kevin's values.
Great reaction and comments. Aren’t they versatile? I love everything they do. They were just babies then but diving head first into a fantastic career. 🤗
Hey Mace! Man, I love this video! I like your evaluation about the chemistry of PTX: You found one good descriptive word: Unmatched. They are so unique! Nice reaction
Check out Superfruit which is Mitch and Scott’s project. They do an amazing job doing the song feeling myself. They will surprise you on this one. Great reactions.
This is SO cool, and, once again, it doesn't matter what Ms. Minaj intended when she put out this song, NOW it belongs to Pentatonix, with a witty and funny story to go along with the song. BTW, they almost always improve on the original! Speaking of that, have you already done RATHER BE? (Kirstie has the lead here, and she rocks!) How about the PERFUME MEDLEY? (It's a ton of fun!) Of course, there's always CRACKED, CAN'T SLEEP LOVE, WATER, SING, NEW YEAR'S DAY, ROSE GOLD, and all the other great songs on their originals album! Please, like the lady said, don't stop!
PTX always change the lyrics so as not to be disrespectful to Kevin's religious beliefs... He's a SDA and doesn't condone certain types of language.... it was brought up on the SingOff when they changed/censored lyrics for KO. I think it's awesome that they would do that for him and for their fans (some of whom are young - not that they don't hear that stuff most days...but it was important for them to support Kevin)
Super Reaction! Look how young they are!! And their sound was AMAZING even then!! Back in the day of full theatrical videos! & yes, they all rap except Avi. Another fun throw back one is Can’t Hold Us!! th-cam.com/video/OglS3Q0Zxik/w-d-xo.html. Also Mitch raps in cover of Problem th-cam.com/video/4Z9b2HiW_L8/w-d-xo.html after Kirstin says, “Tell em Mitch” it’s great and the editing is next level! I love when they creatively change the lyrics ever so slightly:). I see you’re becoming a Pentaholic. You’re in good company.
You should maybe try reacting to some Superfruit videos. Superfruit is Mitch and Scott and they are so good. Especially their Beyoncé medley, Anti Medley, their Empire medley (tv show) and evolution of Lady Gaga. Great reaction!
That's right, no profanity in PTX videos. It's a different story in their social media (well, I've never seen any of that in Kevin's or Matt's), but PTX videos stay clean.
I think the word you are looking for to describe Nicki is Self assured. Or, well I guess that's two. But like all of your reactions, this one is great as well.
I think this was when they were desperately trying to regain traction after getting dumped by Epic. They were blazing new trails and needed all the help they could get.
@@Spartan_777 Actually, I'm not sure how "desperate" they were. Yes, they were dumped by Epic but they did have the $200,000 prize from winning The Sing-Off. Perhaps it was the naivete of youth but they just decided to go for it, regularly uploading videos starting in January 2012. Starships was the lead track off their first EP (released on June 26, 2012) which also featured their covers of Somebody That I Used to Know and Imogen Heap's Aha, as well as their first two original songs. The EP charted quite well, reaching #14 on the Billboard 200, #5 on the U.S. Digital Albums BB and #2 on the U.S. Independent Albums BB. Then they went on their first national tour in the fall of 2012, released a Christmas EP and just never stopped making music or touring since.
Unbounded? Boundless? Loved the reaction happy to see some of the older great track reacted to. Check out Cant Hold Us cover, and check out Mitch out flow Iggy Azalea on their cover of Problem
I always encourage new Pentaholics to go watch their performances on the Sing Off. If you watch the videos Mrduckbear88 had it involves pre and some after performance interviews and judges comments. It's all worth watching and gives you good insight into the group. Have fun! Love your videos ❤️

Thanks a lot for these insights. I'm learning so much from your comments even in other reactors' channels

I share his faith but I freak out every time I hear this song because I don't hear the M at all 😂

What's up bud...this video makes me laugh every time
BABY PENTATONIX☺🌸
They are SO ADORABLE!! And yes they keep the lyrics PG and it works AMAZINGLY!. They even did it pn Thrift Shop.
You don't have to, but if you watch their videos till the end you'll see how likable they are😌
Superfruit (Scott and Mitch side project). They do Feeling Myself. Mitch slays it.
Hitting some of the lesser known PTX covers. Nice.
I love that you are getting their early tracks. I always thought this video was cheesy but the track itself is fire! BTW Pentatonix will never swear in their tracks to respect Kevin's values.
I LOVE your reactions and song choices. More please.
Great reaction and comments. Aren’t they versatile? I love everything they do. They were just babies then but diving head first into a fantastic career. 🤗
Hey Mace! Man, I love this video! I like your evaluation about the chemistry of PTX: You found one good descriptive word: Unmatched. They are so unique! Nice reaction
So happy you did this song! I love "Baby Pentatonix" just as much as I love them now, a decade later.
🖤💙🧡🧡🖤 nice and uplifting
Great reaction! This video/song is SO underrated. I can count on 1 hand the number of reactions I've seen to this song.
That sounded so good and they were having so much fun, so young too. Thank you for this one, nice appreciative reaction !
and here I am again to advocate for Superfruit. xD
Great reaction! If you like Nikki Manaj, check out Superfruit (Mitch & Scott) doing Feeling Myself. It's so good!
Check out Superfruit which is Mitch and Scott’s project. They do an amazing job doing the song feeling myself. They will surprise you on this one. Great reactions.
Guy.exe is really good.
Woohoo bring it back! They were sooo young in this one lol, fun video 🤪 thanks!
Thanks for reminding me how much I LOVE this bop
Love your Pentatonix reactions 😁😁 please keep them coming 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Aww fetus pentatonix. Love it
First time seeing this video.... Thanks for reacting to it!!!

That’s one of the early videos. It was just after theirSing Off win

I think it's awesome that they would do that for him and for their fans (some of whom are young - not that they don't hear that stuff most days...but it was important for them to support Kevin)
They also respect Kevin's religion by not scheduling concert shows between sunset Friday and sunset Saturday (the sabbath for Seventh Day Adventists).
@@bill.godwin-austen This is true and was also respected by Kelly Clarkson when they were her support act.

Yeah I believe they replace swear words in the original songs with more appropriate ones
Do their version of Bohemian Rhapsody next

Please do Radioactive next!

I’m not a Nicki fan, but I’m ALWAYS a PTX fan!
Oh god the cheesy choreography and shameless product placement 😂 Still love this video 💗

Baby pentatonix when they were still trying to be the acapella group that dances😂😂
Eat your veggies to dance more vigorously in front of your cats.
Honestly the best life advice I've gotten in ages.
love your ptx reactions but this time i love that shirt more!
Catch the tuvanese throat singing leading into the song..... talk about genius!
If you appreciated that then ......See Mitch and Scott (aka Superfruit) doing nicki and Beyoncé’s (feeling :myself).
I always encourage new Pentaholics to go watch their performances on the Sing Off. If you watch the videos Mrduckbear88 had it involves pre and some after performance interviews and judges comments. It's all worth watching and gives you good insight into the group. Have fun! Love your videos ❤️
Or cats.... LOLOLOL
Run to you. Sing! Originals
Feeling myself - SuperFruit (Scott and Mitch side project)
Evolution of Michael Jackson
Can’t Hold Us, No, Problem
Kevin is the same faith as me so I can't see him swearing but the M sounds too much like a B to me 😂 I freak out every time
