not the original 'showy' video, but the one where she's in-studio. Rats, can't find the one i saw, that showed her actually sampling, but here's another th-cam.com/video/5mCIBP688ag/w-d-xo.html
Well-mic'd and mixed live performance fan? Popspring Live - you've got to do it!!! 4 songs, 3 of them originals, plus Evolution of MJ. They were on fire and it was a fabulous set - better than any of the official videos for the three songs that have them and Kirstie's lead on "Water" is killer, no official video for that one.
Any of their Evolution videos (which are recorded live) are great. There are also a number of New Year's Eve performances, Pop Spring '16. I love them any way I can get them, but I also love their live stuff the most.
There are a few ‘private performance’ cell phone videos floating around as well. These are off mic, in a small-ish room with poor acoustics…and still sound amazing. I think of all their live performances these impress me the most. I’ve seen Daft Punk, Valentine (personal fav), and Take Me Home. I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting about.
Great Reaction as Usual!!!! You Really need to listen to the Original by Kiiara, She uses Electronic Effects that Mitch Does All With His Amazing Voice!!!! It Really show How Talented They Are!!!!
Love, love, love your reaction. Thank you for appreciating all the parts separately and together. So many reactors don't appreciate Avi and Kevin. Incredible! I agree with others...if you listen to Kiiara's original you can see what Mitch was up against.
What I would love for you to listen to is some of their original songs, from the 2015 album “Pentatonix”. That would be awesome, there are a lot of songs from that album and from their earlier releases (where they have included one of their own). (Those gets lost, and doesn’t get enough reactions, IMHO. 😁)
Ed Boyer does the audio mixing for Pentatonix. Another Reactor did an interview with him that you might enjoy. th-cam.com/video/XyQSmRkSDiw/w-d-xo.html
You should look up PBS news hour version of can't sleep love. They are literally asked to sing it during an interview and it's fabulous. It's one of their originals.
You might love their iheart radio live performances. They are very well mixed and are examples of some of their earlier original music. I like Cracked.
Had you watch the original (even the first 30 seconds of it) you will be even more impressed. As others have said, the original is all electronic tricks. The round at the end is fantastic. There are a few really good live performances out there.
I haven't seen it mentioned yet but if you want live, you have to check out their Silent Night. It's just them in a cathedral hallway with a camera, if I remember correctly.
Since you enjoyed this so much, you'd love their Evolution of Rihanna or Evolution of Ariana Grande. Both are recorded live and 2 of my favs. The arrangements are so good. They all have a moment to shine. Matt & Kevin are so much fun to watch live. I'd love to see your take on either one. 🙏🏼🔥 Btw - I love the Pantera & Metallica flags. Two of my favorite bands. Although Master is my favorite album, Kill 'Em All is my second favorite. 🤘🏻
Actually, I don’t think that Rihanna was a live recording (it was Matt’s first ‘Evolution of’), but Ariana is… Either way, watch Kevin carefully, because I don’t think that he breathes in Rihanna!!!! I always need oxygen after watching that performance! 🤗
Thank you for reacting to this one. I enjoy your reactions. 😊 Please react to "Pentatonix Daft Punk Mix private performance" performed live in a room with no microphones. And also Pentatonix Popspring 2016 (3 original songs "Cracked", Can't sleep love", "Water" and "Evolution of Michael Jackson" live), 15 minutes long but you can find the individual recordings for each song as well (from the same concert). For more live performances I also suggest Evolution of Rihanna and Telephone live in Singapore at the Star Vista (the same concert as Aha). Have a great day/night.
I don't know how many times I listened to this before i realized that the singing members are sitting in vocal part order. Avi is on Bass (normal), but Kirstie is singing Alto, mostly below Scott's tenor part. Mitch is singing the counter-tenor / soprano part. And of course, Kevin provides the sprinkles on top with his beatboxing and accents.
From the first time I heard this one, Avi's bass part hit me as one of the very best & finesse'd I've ever heard. Even just the syncopation he does while the trio is trading off toward the end is impressive.
You should do some Pentatonix reactions where you play the original first then show Pentatonix covering it just to show how much more amazing their version of the song is now.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Nobody Ever mentions that segment when they’re all just throwing in a word PERFECTLY in time, as if it’s only 1 person singing! It’s one of the reasons that I love this song! Also the fact that Mitch is so nonchalant in this, as if he’s not doing anything special. (You get the impression that he’s just dialling this in, and then he’s off to do something else! Both him and Kirstin are so laidback)! 🤗
Yes! Thanks for reacting to Gold. This is my absolute favorite! I do advise to listen to the original from Kiiara. That really makes you appreciate their voices!
They are such a talented group all of them but Mitch is amazing. He has just done a stunning cover of Your Power by Billie Eilish which I can't recommend enough.
Hey man, you should check out Allen Stone ... great artist, unbelievable voice. Check out Brown Eyed Lover (live from the sound Emporium) and Give you Blue (live on vevo) he kills everything he does, especially when its live, youll be impressed!!!!
Have you done the daft punk version that was a private performance filmed by cell phone? No microphones, no mixing or layering. Just the five standing and giving everyone a reminder they dont need mixing or any studio-ness to sing. They are naturals .
I LOVE your PTX reactions but can I suggest checking out Daneliya Tuleshova a young vocalist from Kazakhstan. Her first video is when she was 10 on The Voice Ukraine blind audition of Stone Cold but she has A LOT of recent covers. You won’t be disappointed I swear. 🥰🇨🇦
You are one of my favourite 'Reactors' love that you acknowledge all members....The trio are brilliant & Kirsty shows her best when she joins in near the end....but for me my ear is tuned into Avi's bass &Kevin he are magicians, we are bopping our heads or tapping our feet to their wonderful rhythm section. Have you done Megan Trainors 'No' it's a live session and Kevin & Avi are sitting in front having a ball. Avi holds some of the longest bass notes I've ever heard. here is a link th-cam.com/video/W9LJDwZOprY/w-d-xo.html
I really like how you breakdown their singing. To me, this is the best singing group (of many) on the planet. In that same vein, I would rank Kirstie Maldonado, Angelina Jordan and Morissette Amon as world-class singers, but (IMO) Haley Reinhart is the BEST female singer today !! Check out her songs, starting with guest artist on PostModern Jukebox (one of the best bands around) featuring her singing "Creep" (by Radiohead)....guarantee it will give you chills !!!
@@marykuettner752 BTW, have you even heard her version of "Creep" ?? I've listened to about 12-15 reactors (about half were vocal coachs), who have also felt the same way. Yeah, Really....maybe you don't understand what makes a singer super special !!
@@nickerpsg1 I have heard her and I am a fan. I felt she should have won her season of Idol. However, just among Idol singers I would put Kelly, Fantasia, Carrie and Jennifer before her, let alone the best today.
Ok, soooo, Mitch is a countertenor. men who are able to manipulate their vocal cords to sing in the higher registers - i.e., those above the range of a tenor - are known as countertenors.
There are more like this....no megan trainor cover, ride 21 pilots cover and all of their evolution of videos...which Ariana grande and rhianna are my favs but they are all good....plus they have a ton from their couch in the earliest videos from their channel....also you can even go back to Mitch Scott and Kirstie from high school if you google the trio
I know you love live performances. Try this mash up of Save the World/Don't You Worry Child. Quincy Jones introduced them on stage. Quincy Jones Presents - Pentatonix "Save the World/Don't You Worry Child" (LIVE) - TH-cam
I personally don’t know why everybody thinks the vocals for this song are hard. I know somethings are harder for others while a breeze for some, but like i said, it’s not that hard but it is fun
Can I ask you to listen 'praying' from them? It's a cover! But this music touches you in a different Way! By the Way I love your reaction! You're so charismatic! Love you!
Great reaction! To feed your music geek side, you must check out Jacob Restituto’s interviews with Ben Bram (PTX arranger) and Ed Boyer (PTX Mixer) Both excellent & informative!!
Love, love, love this cover. One of the many songs that I prefer the PTX version to the original. Since you like the raw/non-produced or live versions many will point you to their “Evolution of..” medleys and they’re awesome. But also put their cover of No (Meghan Trainor) on your list. It’s just the 5 of them around a couple of mics- it’s excellent and so much fun. Mitch is super sassy and Avi & Kevin are having a blast. Highly recommend. Here’s a link: th-cam.com/video/W9LJDwZOprY/w-d-xo.html
You think this is amazing. Go listen to the original and it will Blow your mind that mitch is actually singing the parts that the original is doing with auto tune
Thanks for responding to my comment. All I can say in regards to your list of people who aren’t always in tune but that you like, because of their passion, is that, not surprisingly, I’m not a fan of any of those ‘singers’. They don’t resonate with me, at all, and I don’t find them passionate, in the least. Unless one equates their ‘passion’ with screaming or shrieking. Bob Dylan, for example, may appeal to you but aside from his lyrics, I cannot tolerate his voice. To me, he’s always sounds like he’s phoning it in. I certainly have never thought he was passionate; I thought he was a lazy, sloppy singer (though, in truth, I’ve never thought of him as a ‘singer’ since he’s never produced the dynamics, diction and pitch necessary to being a singer). What is the point and where is the passion when a singer doesn’t even have the energy to sing in tune or pronounce their lyrics with some semblance of diction? Specially in the case of Bob Dylan, who is famous - known as a troubadour who writes the majority of his songs to supposedly say something challenging and pithy to our society. What does he think he’s communicating when not one word he sings can be understood? Aside from the fact that we obviously have different taste in music, as a pro singer myself, I value the lyrics that I write. I choose each word on purpose and with care. So if people can’t understand the words that I’ve written because of my laziness in pronunciation, I feel like I’ve failed my listeners. I know that we all have diverse tastes - clearly, you and I have differing tastes in music - as well as in how we define ‘passion’, but since before Bach and Beethoven, certain characteristics have always gone hand in hand with excellence in music: melody, rhythm, and lyrics. And the foundation underneath includes the key, the tonal center and the pitch of the instruments. Without these things, these things done with precision (some would say, passion and personal investment), it may be some kind of art, but, to me, it’s not music.
The original song by Kiiara, is heavily auto tuned. Mitch does it with ease!
Not just autotuned, the part where Mitch flips around is sampled and mixed. Kiiara doesn't sing it live, her DJ plays it.
Subtle virtuosity. Words. Fail.
I think you would like their original Run to You
Please check out Their Mashup "New Rules x Are You That Somebody" & Their "Popspring 2016" which is 4 song live in concert.
You really need to watch the original video and hear Kiiara’s version to see how amazing this is.
Totally agree. When PTX covers your song, they usually do it better.
@@susanscott5060 Upgrade it! Always!!!
not the original 'showy' video, but the one where she's in-studio. Rats, can't find the one i saw, that showed her actually sampling, but here's another th-cam.com/video/5mCIBP688ag/w-d-xo.html
And you should definitely head over and check out SuperFruit! Especially the Hip Hop goes Broadway 1 & 2. Mitch and Scott, and hilarious.
Also Defying Gravity
And the Frozen Medley including Kirstie, one of the funniest videos on TH-cam (especially the bloopers)!
I keep hearing such great stuff about SuperFruit! I’ll have to check them out!
It’s 2/5 of Pentatonics. Of course Superfruit is good!
And don’t forget to watch bloopers every time!
Their vocal gymnastics are spectacular...
Well-mic'd and mixed live performance fan? Popspring Live - you've got to do it!!! 4 songs, 3 of them originals, plus Evolution of MJ. They were on fire and it was a fabulous set - better than any of the official videos for the three songs that have them and Kirstie's lead on "Water" is killer, no official video for that one.
Yesssssss
Yes please
This is one of my personal favorites. It is a stunning representation of their talents! Love PTX.
Someone said that PTX doesn’t do covers they do UPGRADES. so true
I was wearing the same awe in my face when I first listened this one. It's still one of my favourites :)
That performance is Gold 🥇🤙🏅
Any of their Evolution videos (which are recorded live) are great. There are also a number of New Year's Eve performances, Pop Spring '16. I love them any way I can get them, but I also love their live stuff the most.
Here's one of my faves. I was listening tonight and thought I'd share. It's called "See Through". th-cam.com/video/GO-9xRlYKLc/w-d-xo.html
There are a few ‘private performance’ cell phone videos floating around as well. These are off mic, in a small-ish room with poor acoustics…and still sound amazing.

Loving Avi in background for the deeper parts.
If your mind is blown over this, go take a look at the Kiara version.
You will wonder how they envisioned this at all.🤯🤯🤯
Ed Boyer does the audio mixing for Pentatonix. Another Reactor did an interview with him that you might enjoy. th-cam.com/video/XyQSmRkSDiw/w-d-xo.html

And Cheerleader
I think you should react to their cover of Say Something. Kirstie-led and very powerful
Team work at its best. 🤗
AGREED!!! This performance is pure GOLD!!
Had you watch the original (even the first 30 seconds of it) you will be even more impressed. As others have said, the original is all electronic tricks. The round at the end is fantastic. There are a few really good live performances out there.
It was highly requested because it's perfect. I think you are ready for 12 Days of Christmas!
Love your reaction to this- one of my favourites. Mitch has recently released a cover of Your Power by Billie Eilish, you should check that out.
Mitch has done a cover of billy English. your power it absolutely beautiful and I love your reactions 😍
It's gorgeous. Can't wait to hear more of his solo music
I haven't seen it mentioned yet but if you want live, you have to check out their Silent Night. It's just them in a cathedral hallway with a camera, if I remember correctly.
PURE TALENT!
This might be my very favourite arrangement of theirs...and that's saying a lot all things considered. : ) Wish they recorded this as a single!
Great reaction! This is in my top three PTX performances!
Thank you for this, it is so artfully done. They know their craft! Love it.
Since you enjoyed this so much, you'd love their Evolution of Rihanna or Evolution of Ariana Grande. Both are recorded live and 2 of my favs. The arrangements are so good. They all have a moment to shine. Matt & Kevin are so much fun to watch live. I'd love to see your take on either one. 🙏🏼🔥

Either way, watch Kevin carefully, because I don’t think that he breathes in Rihanna!!!! I always need oxygen after watching that performance! 🤗
this isn't a PTX suggestion, but it's an Avi suggestion: Avi Kaplan+Peter Hollins collab cover Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair
I recommend listening to some of Avi's solo live performances. He's awesome when it comes to raw vocal talent 😍😍😍
Thank you for reacting to this one. I enjoy your reactions. 😊
Please react to "Pentatonix Daft Punk Mix private performance" performed live in a room with no microphones.

And 💓Avi Avi Ahhh-Vee “sooo good” too‼️❣️‼️
You should react to Mary Did You Know Pentatonix cover. Its probably one of my favorite covers
I love this casual live recordings. Thank you for doing this song!!!!!
one of my favorites (and oh, I have so many) of Mitch
I was lucky enough to see them live back when Avi was around. I'd love a chance to see them again now with Matt.
That's too cool! I'd love to see them live!
@@MetalGuyReacts It was quite the experience. Avi's low notes would rattle the seats
THey are amazing if you want to check out more lives you need to see "Cracked " live on the IHEART radio, its just perfection :)
I remember seeing a video of Cracked but don’t remember where. Possibly their Pop Spring in 2016?
@@nicklenights yeah they sang there too :)
From the first time I heard this one, Avi's bass part hit me as one of the very best & finesse'd I've ever heard. Even just the syncopation he does while the trio is trading off toward the end is impressive.
I believe that this performance was live streamed.
My favorite. Their technical ability. Consumate musicians.
You should do some Pentatonix reactions where you play the original first then show Pentatonix covering it just to show how much more amazing their version of the song is now.
Watch Kirstin on the last verse. She is incredible. Unless you are looking right at her you don't realize how hard her part is.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Nobody Ever mentions that segment when they’re all just throwing in a word PERFECTLY in time, as if it’s only 1 person singing! It’s one of the reasons that I love this song!
Also the fact that Mitch is so nonchalant in this, as if he’s not doing anything special. (You get the impression that he’s just dialling this in, and then he’s off to do something else! Both him and Kirstin are so laidback)! 🤗
Nary a finger snap is off. It's actually quite incredible to witness five individuals this in sync.
cant wait for you to react to their Christmas stuff soon, its where they gained their popularity from
Yes! Thanks for reacting to Gold. This is my absolute favorite! I do advise to listen to the original from Kiiara. That really makes you appreciate their voices!
They put in TONS of practice and collaboration for every one of their songs. And no, they don't use mixers or other crap.
If you watch close Avi and Scott glance up at someone off stage and smile as if , this is going great.
This is one of my favorites!
Great reaction! btw, loving the beard :D
Thanks Aaron! Can’t wait to get back to sea captain length on the beard 🤘🏼😊
Check out The Wellerman cover by the Trills.
I love you genuine reactions! I highly suggest listening to their cover of Mary did you know and White Winter Hymnal!
They are such a talented group all of them but Mitch is amazing. He has just done a stunning cover of Your Power by Billie Eilish which I can't recommend enough.
Kevin is underrated 😭
Recommend their Seasons Of Love on nationwide tv on the 4th of July.
You need to listen to “RUN TO YOU”, PTX
Hey man, you should check out Allen Stone ... great artist, unbelievable voice. Check out Brown Eyed Lover (live from the sound Emporium) and Give you Blue (live on vevo) he kills everything he does, especially when its live, youll be impressed!!!!
Yes, this is possible. Good luck figuring out how.
Please react to Måneskin. They are a young Italian rock band and they just won the Eurovision Song Contest. I love them!
Great reaction!
Great reaction! Mitch has done a cover of "Your Power" that is awesome! You really need to react to it. I would love to hear your opinion.
Thank you Debbie! I’ll have to add that one to my list 😊
Have you already seen their silent night cover? It's one of my very favorites and is live in a church!
That sounds great! I’ll have to add that one to my list! Thank you Nell!
@@MetalGuyReacts I think you would love it! It has great harmonies and overall awesome sound quality.
Lol PTX is not human that is the first error hahah. But really you should check out their live concert stuff. It is insane.
Love your reactions! Avi just released his new album. So good. Hope to see your reactions to those.
Have you done the daft punk version that was a private performance filmed by cell phone? No microphones, no mixing or layering. Just the five standing and giving everyone a reminder they dont need mixing or any studio-ness to sing. They are naturals .
You should try one of PTX's early videos like "Someone I Used to Know" from 2012. It looks like they are in a basement.
I LOVE your PTX reactions but can I suggest checking out Daneliya Tuleshova a young vocalist from Kazakhstan. Her first video is when she was 10 on The Voice Ukraine blind audition of Stone Cold but she has A LOT of recent covers. You won’t be disappointed I swear. 🥰🇨🇦
You mentioned you wanted to do their live music. Unless I missed it when I checked could you check out their Popspring 2016 live performance?
