The fact that the 3 in the middle have known each other and been singing together for 20+ years, makes them similar to a family group. When you see groups that are family members, they always just know how to harmonize and compensate for each others weaknesses. They are basically siblings at this point in the way they know each other's voices so well it just comes easy for them. And the other 2 have done an amazing job of becoming part of that, too. They all know how to make each member's best qualities shine. I really do think that is what made them stand out and be so successful.
Heck, Kevin has been singing with them for the 13 years of their career so far, and Matt has been singing with them for 7 years, so there's probably not a lot of difference in how well they know their voices, either. While Kevin spends most of his time beatboxing, he does sing in harmony a lot of the time when he's not actively beatboxing. And Matt was a fan long before he became a member.
There is a video out there where they did a fan request in a room for the fan doing Daft Punk. They had no microphones it was just them with nothing. If you can find it, it is amazing.
You need to see "Daft Punk" 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%. Kevin and Avi need the amplification.
What I find amazing about this cover is that the original Queen version had major MAJOR layering of their voices-I think I read that there are over 100 overdubs, ,meaning MANY layers of their voices, not to mention that they have a full instrumental band backing them! Here we have just five voices doing this. And it still sounds very full, certainly not approaching the Queen finished version - how could it-but still so beautiful and satisfying. A brave endeavor, if you ask me.
There are several compilation vids on here of them singing in hallways without mikes , an extraordinary version of Silent Night filmed in a German Church when Avi Kaplan was still with them , and a rare rendition of 'Love Again' , filmed in a dressing room during an interview with a local tv station where only Kevin uses a mike. They don't perform this one any more purely because Kevin added Mongolian throat singing to his beatboxing and found it was too hard on his vocal cords ! Its a great EDM song though and was written by Kevin & Avi
I’ve been to two of their performances. They are truly amazing and so hard working. Imagine using your voice no stop for a two hour concert with only one 15 minute break. Even when you aren’t singing the lead you are still singing harmony….and Kevin? The man is playing multiple instruments at the same time seamlessly.
They did a live version of their Daft Punk medley basically in a green room. I think it was a meet and greet for a Make a Wish. It was recorded on a phone. No mics. Just them in a room. It was flawless. You could tell that the balance could have been better but it was really well done.
One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Well worth the money. Not my genre but I took my son for his birthday and was completely blown away by their talent.
Yeah, they definitely use all the post production tools that pretty much any other artist uses. I think people who get overly defensive on that point don’t really understand what goes into making a professional music recording. The proof for me has always been the fact that I have seen these guys live in concert a few times and while it does not sound exactly the same between the live version and the studio version, the talent and the emotion and everything that you hear in the studio version is there on stage. Some of their professional recordings are more overly produced than others, sometimes they use vocal layering, which they really usually couldn’t do live in concert. But it’s not there to trick anybody, it’s still their voice.
I would add that there is one post production thing they don't use is AutoTune. They used it once for Cher's believe in their 90's Dance medley because Cher was the first person to use the tool in that particular song. I'm aware that they use Melodyne for their post work and other tools, but they do try to be as authentic as possible. Perhaps Fischtank should check out their mini-doc, The Recording of Evergreen that shows a lot of their behind the scenes vocal work and how they make decisions and colab with each other about roles, choices, and percussion work, etc. It's quite a fascinating look at the stuff we normally don't see that goes into the making of an album.
@ I think just about everyone uses Autotune, but many think it’s a tool to help bad singers sound good, which ok maybe, but usually it’s used for some pitch correction and other things that make the official audio ‘perfect’. Autotune isn’t a bad word in the recording industry.
"Grief is Only Love" is tied with this one in my favorite songs of his. My dad passed away way too young 7 years ago and his story just hits so close to my own. That song expresses what I've felt more than anything I have ever been able to put into words myself.
Another amazing video out there was taken by someone's phone at an airport. They were waiting for a plane and began singing on the mic at the gate check-in. Amazing!
This is another life performance for a reporter. Also no mike except one for Kevin. It is for their original song which is EDM style. Tile is Love Again th-cam.com/video/GyRiez6UKAI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=agwU4gXpt9IeOsym
I know right?? Mind-blowing. Please watch their cover of Hallelujah!! And I think you'd love their Evolution of Music. Both blew my mind in completely different ways, hallelujah like this one and in evolution of music the segues are insane
Look up "daft punk live" AFTER you watch the video for it, which won them their first grammy. You'll hear them without mikes, and you'll see that it sounds exactly the same, but without mikes for them, of course
Look them up sitting and singing in the stairwell in college. Then you will get their voices without mics. Although it’s a stairwell has that acoustic.
Hi, please try Forestella singing Bohemian Rhapsody in live. (Actually every video of Bohemian Rhapsody by them is live video.) I think you would love their Queen interpretation a lot. I recommend Forestella Queen's Best Songs compilation video on KBS Jeonju channel, but add filters on to avoid copyright problems as it's from TV shows if you react. For me, even I've seen PTX version and others, Forestella version is the best. Initially Forestella is a crossover vocal quartet, but for now they are active as a trio as their bass is temporarily in hiatus for his military service (he will be back in 2025 May tho), still wonderfully sang The Show Must Go On in trio. It has an awesome guitar solo intro, so please take a look. Maybe you will thank me for letting you know Forestella.
Please do a review on their official Daft Punk and THEN watch them LIVE WITHOUT MICS OR ANYTHING in a motel room for a charity. You will see their RAW TALENT.
There is for sure post production on their music. It would be crazy to think their isn't. That doesnt take away from their talent. Im sure people will point you to off mic singing. There's a ton out there.
I know! I saw them live back in 2019. It was so surreal that I couldn't stop crying. It was one of the greatest things I've ever experienced in my life
If u want a good song just to listen to(not sure if it’ll be good to react too) but Zach Bryan’s “Pain Sweet Pain” is a great song. He’s got an older vid on youtube with raw instrumentals. It rly puts a smile on ur face when u listen to it
Mitch might be the reincarnation of Freddie Mercury. Freddie died in November 1991 and Mitch was born in July 1992. He can also grow the Freddie mustache. It is so close to matching it is kinda creepy. You can see Mitch with the Freddie mustache doing Somebody to Love on a Queen special that was on ABC a few years ago.
Matt came day 1 with their entire catalog memorized, lol...they were shocked at his work ethic ❤
There's a reason that he's known as "Drama-Free Matt Sallee"!

Yep, was coming down to recommend this.
Same 😂
This performance is everything you say you want to see and hear. Do our!
I've been to one of their concerts. They always sing a song without mics and it is incredible!
Listen to their "Sound of Silence." No microphones.

Pentatonix at an Airport video is fun. They just grabbed the mike at the counter and sang.

Even when you aren’t singing the lead you are still singing harmony….and Kevin? The man is playing multiple instruments at the same time seamlessly.
Acapella GOATS for sure! I actually saw Pentatonix live when they opened for Kelly!!!!! What a fucking night!

They are dedicated to their craft and work as a family and it shows.
One of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. Well worth the money. Not my genre but I took my son for his birthday and was completely blown away by their talent.

Listen to them sing amazing grace. It’s incredible
Amazing how they made queen sound straight
I found several private presentations (that's what the videos are called) on TH-cam, they are great, no microphones. wonderful, you will love them.
"Grief is Only Love" is tied with this one in my favorite songs of his. My dad passed away way too young 7 years ago and his story just hits so close to my own. That song expresses what I've felt more than anything I have ever been able to put into words myself.
Another amazing video out there was taken by someone's phone at an airport. They were waiting for a plane and began singing on the mic at the gate check-in. Amazing!
Please check out Pentatonix
“The Making Of Evergreen”
It shows them creating this album live in the studio.AMAZING!!!!!!
Great reaction! They sound even better inbtheir original studio video!
Check out Kissed From A Rose. Or 90s Dance Medley.
This is another life performance for a reporter. Also no mike except one for Kevin. It is for their original song which is EDM style. Tile is Love Again
th-cam.com/video/GyRiez6UKAI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=agwU4gXpt9IeOsym
There's a video out there of them singing Thrift Shop at an airport using a flight desk microphone. That's a great one to check out.
You need to react to them in the studio. There's a 20 minute doc called The Making of Evergreen. They're phenomenal.
I know right?? Mind-blowing. Please watch their cover of Hallelujah!! And I think you'd love their Evolution of Music. Both blew my mind in completely different ways, hallelujah like this one and in evolution of music the segues are insane
Look up "daft punk live" AFTER you watch the video for it, which won them their first grammy. You'll hear them without mikes, and you'll see that it sounds exactly the same, but without mikes for them, of course
I second or third the video out there taken on a cell phone of them doing Daft Punk Medley at a fan meet and greet. No microphones or anything.
Look them up sitting and singing in the stairwell in college. Then you will get their voices without mics. Although it’s a stairwell has that acoustic.
Recommend their live performance video of Kiss From A Rose.
Pentatonix Daft Punk mix private performance/ Nick Riddell @EgyptStar73 This is a video with them singing no mics, just voices.
I've seen them perform this in concert twice. It sounds pretty much the same.
7:17 it’s interesting that you say it’s like sensory overload. My brother-in-law feels the same and I’m actually autistic and can’t get enough of it.
Pentatonix has much less production with the song Gold, it's one of my favorites, really. I hope you can react. Thanks!!!
There's a couple videos out there of them singing backstage without mics. Can't remember what they sang.

The base is great, but i am amazed with the base is VoicePlay
There is for sure post production on their music. It would be crazy to think their isn't. That doesnt take away from their talent. Im sure people will point you to off mic singing. There's a ton out there.
TH-cam audio does not come close to them live.
I know! I saw them live back in 2019. It was so surreal that I couldn't stop crying. It was one of the greatest things I've ever experienced in my life
You like Matt and his bass - try their mash-up New Rules x Are You That Somebody?
Got to react to daft punk live private performance!!!! It is everything you are looking for. No mikes. Pretty sure it was recorded with a phone. ❤❤
Thank you 🤩😘🤩
This is Axels favorite.
If you haven't seen it yet, I would highly recommend Stray Kids. They are a k-pop boy group that write and produce 99.9% of their songs.
If u want a good song just to listen to(not sure if it’ll be good to react too) but Zach Bryan’s “Pain Sweet Pain” is a great song. He’s got an older vid on youtube with raw instrumentals. It rly puts a smile on ur face when u listen to it
They are as good as they sound. No need to minimize their talent when you don’t understand their process.
Seem them live!!!!!!!!! Dont assume
If you want to something equally as good check out Home Free's version of Man of Constant Sorrow or Walk Off The Earth's version of Farther We Go
If you like matt Bass then you'll love voiceplay particularly geoff castellucci
Please react to Hallelujah! It has 757 million views!
You should react to paralyzed by Kevin smiley
