- Skullz reacts to Daft Punk by Pentatonix for the first time
Pentatonix (abbreviated PTX) is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, currently consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee. Characterized by their pop-style arrangements with vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion, and beatboxing, they produce cover versions of modern pop works or Christmas songs, sometimes in the form of medleys, along with original material. Pentatonix formed in 2011 and subsequently won the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off, receiving $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music.[2][3] When Sony's Epic Records dropped the group after The Sing-Off, the group formed its TH-cam channel, distributing its music through Madison Gate Records, a label owned by Sony Pictures.[4][5][6] Their TH-cam channel currently has over 19 million subscribers and 5.6 billion views. The group's video tribute to Daft Punk had received more than 358 million views as of November 20, 2021.[7][8][9]

One that will blow your mind is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. A song with no words performed by a group with no instruments. And they won their second Grammy.
As a fan who has been watching them since their days on the sing off, that is still one of my favorite covers they have ever done. It punches you in the ears like nothing else!
@@BloodTithingsGaming Agree! I wish The Sing Off would come back.
YES!! Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy is AMAZING!!!! 😁😁😁
PTX won their first Grammy for this. The glitch is not a glitch they actually do this live in a performance. The whole video cost them a whopping $400 that they did in Kevin and Avi‘s kitchen and closet. Great reaction!
Totally awesome ! They really rock this, and it sounds exactly the same "live." They have their originals that will surprise you !
That "glitch" effect mentioned? That wasn't added by a mixer -- they do the same thing live. Same with all the vocal effects. :)
th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
I love how they can even harmonize in a way that sounds like autotune, but it's just the way they layer the harmonies.
I remember being so shocked and amazed when I heard a live version of this song (the private performance one) and the part where Scott and Mitch are harmonizing the "our work is never over" part STILL sounded completely synthesized, despite it being an intimate, no mics performance. I think that was the moment that I realized they could do absolutely anything, because it sounds so amazing and unreal.
@@cubbance it's *wild*, especially bc like being so on beat perfectly for that skipping, it's absolutely insanely impressive.
No mixer to add the “glitchy” effect. They do this live with all the same vocal sounds. They won their first Grammy for this. Loved your reaction! 💕💕
Definitely watch Bohemian Rhapsody….a masterpiece also. For an impressive song with Matt, the current bass, try their mash up New Rules x Are You That Somebody?
There is nothing these artists cannot do. They cover the gamut, from "Mary did you Know" to "Radioactive." I love reactors who know what they're talking about - thank you!
You might like to try Gold (Kiara cover) brilliant raw display of skill.
Yes!!
Absolutely - but I will add to ensure you have listened to or are familiar with the original.
Their cover of Gold is one of my favorites!!they do a way better version... It will blow your mind!!😄
Couldn't agree more
Yes, please react to Gold! I want to reiterate what others have said: Watch the Kiaara original first! That's the only way to understand what Mitch is doing in the cover.
it's hard to NOT smile or dance in your seat when you hear this. my favorite mind-blowing fact about this song is they can 100% do it live. it's impressive. Glad you enjoyed it!! 😍
Yeah, I'd love to see that 🔥🔥🔥
Skullz We’d love to share that with you! Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
@@Skullzrapper The one you NEED to check out is the Private Performance of Daft Punk. This was the VIP back stage before a concert. PTX stand at the front of the room with no mic's and just SING. Recorded on a mobile device. th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html. Proves that they CAN do it live, and only need the balancing of the sound system. Kevin and Avi are a lot quieter than the trio.
Yes, Avi is the Bass, though Scott does Bass whenever Avi is singing. Avi left the group (2017 I believe) and was replaced by Matt Sallee. Matt is also a Bass. Again, if Matt is singing Scott takes over Bass duties. To see Matt, check out Sound of Silence.
Yes, Avi Caplan left the group in 2017, and began a solo career just a few years ago.
(I believe I read somewhere that Avi Caplan suggested
Matt Sallee as someone who could take his place in the group as base singer.)
@@mewzetm8928 I've heard that also, but then heard it wasn't true. Matt Sallee auditioned for his place.
The three main vocalists, Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin, sang together in high school as The Trio. In 2011 they recruited Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer/tenor/cellist) to form Pentatonix in order to compete in season three of the Sing Off. They won. They have been singing together for so long and are completely in sync with each other. They have a 200 plus song catalog, covers and originals, over their eleven year history.
Matt replaced Avi as bass in 2017. This has been the only member change.
Recommend their Bohemian Rhapsody and Sound Of Silence.
They won their first Grammy for this
Well deserved! 🔥🔥🔥
There is a live version of this recorded backstage for a kid with cancer. If you accept that it is recorded on a phone with terrible base response it basically sounds the same as this
won their first grammy for this one
Thanks for your reaction! This is a very old video (baby Pentatonix) that includes their first bass singer Avi Kaplan (Avi left the group in 2017 and is doing his own solo work now-- Matt Sallee is the current bass singer). As you already know, the recording contract they won on the "Sing Off" back in 2011 dropped them the first week telling them that acapella music was just a novelty that would never sell. Well they worked hard on their own, posting on the internet and growing a fan base of millions. For "Daft Punk", they scraped together $400 between them and made this one in the kitchen and closet of the apartment that Avi and Kevin shared and it earned them their first Grammy award opening more doors for them. The video on You Tube of them accepting the Grammy is pretty cool (check it out).
th-cam.com/video/AUMH57NS6hg/w-d-xo.html
Usually you don't call a group's first Grammy performance baby anything
@@gailseatonhumbert Not about the performance; just a frequently used statement about how young they were back then when going back and looking at them 10 years ago.
There's a Superfruit (Mitch & Scott's duo group) vlog ep. that shows them unboxing their Grammys for Daft Punk. Those phonograph are bigger than they look. Lol, they made them "kiss".
Won a Grammy.
Yep, the bass is our boy Avi Kaplan. He stepped down from the group in 2017 because the touring schedule was doing a number on his mental health, plus his mother was very sick at the time, so he went on to do his own solo stuff. His song "Change On the Rise" is just amazing.
Kirsty, Scott and Mitch sang together in high school. They are all nice people with extraordinary musical talent.
Don't know if anyone mentioned it to you, but Daft Punk was filmed in a kitchen. It was recorded and Kevin and avi's closet. They had a total budget of $400. And with that they want a Grammy!
PTX is the gold standard for A Capella!!! They brought it back!!!
You look like a young buck, so you may really appreciate their 90’s dance medley. Phenomenal.
Avi Kaplan (basso profundity dude) was Kevin’s roommate, so they probably practiced A LOT. That’s how they harmonize so well.
Ptx won a Grammy for this one. Recorded in Scotts closet and filmed in the living room.
Actually, the audio was recorded in the closet of Avi & Kevin's shared apartment, and the video shot in their kitchen. Here's the video shot by Scott's parents of when they won the Grammy for this song: th-cam.com/video/2BNaVcMMJvM/w-d-xo.html
Was filmed by FifGen Films. There used to be a bts for this but I can't find it now.
I’d love to see you check out their cover of “Gold” - the official video is live, it’s really good. “Evolution of Beyoncé” and “Evolution of Michael Jackson” are both live as well, you’d love them!
And THANK YOU FOR THE SHOUTOUT TO BEN BRAM! GENIUS!!
Loving your PTX reactions! It's always great to watch with a reactor who is making perceptive, informed comments. Avi Kaplan is the original bass for the group... a classically trained basso profundo, hence that low speaking voice. Apparently Avi had to train himself to speak higher after his voice dropped! He was known to destroy speakers with his subterranean notes until the group starting bringing their own speaker system. Avi has a passionate fan base, but had to leave Pentatonix back in 2017 for personal reasons. If you listen to any of his recent solo work, you will see how much he has come into his own since leaving the group. Likewise, on the opposite end of the scale, Mitch is a natural counter tenor, rather than a trained counter tenor. His voice just wants to be in that range naturally, which why he sounds so effortless in the full tenor range, and can climb up into the rafters when given the slightest encouragement! I hope you continue to explore the full range of Pentatonix music. They are creative as well as talented, and basically poured life back into the a cappella genre.
Mitch's whistle notes are amazing! My favorite that makes ma laugh every time is when he casually imitates a squeaky marker. :)
Mitch has a 6 octave range Avi Kaplan, founding bass member) has a 5 octave range. This song won them a Grammy award. Each of their parts were recorded in a closet after loosing their scheduled recording session.
Pentatonix got their 1st of three Grammys for this video.
The second was for “Dance of the Sugar Plum Ferries”
The third was for “Jolene” with Dolly Parton.
Yes, the original basso profundo second from the left in cornrows is Avi Kaplan. (Pronounced Ah-Vee) His voice is mind-blowing. He majored in opera and classical studies in college. He and Kevin Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire) were roommates and brothers. Best rhythm section ever in my opinion. This video was made in Avi and Kevins's apartment and was their first Grammy win. Avi left the band due to health issues with his mother and the toll the touring was taking on him. He left in September 2017 and has an incredible solo career now. You should check him out as well. He has a new LP entitled Floating on a Dream. It's got a folksy/americana almost cowboy vibe to it. Matt Sallee is the current bass and does an excellent job for PTX. Mitch is indeed the gentleman on the right end. He and Kirsty both change themselves up often. Great reaction! Great comments. Thanks!
Thank you! He is my total favorite. His solo effort, "Change on the Rise", is my inspirational song.
aw, appreciate the love for the Meat and Potatoes (Kevin and Avi). Thanks for reacting to this!
This is such fun The visuals are stunning. Thanks for reacting to this one. Avi is the bass but has now left and Matt has taken his place. I know you like to rap, so you need to react to Pentatonix's Can't Hold Us. I really think you will like it.
They did a cover of Gold that is amazing. The precision that they have using only their voices blows me away.
I’ve probably seen this 1,000 times and it still blows my mind 🤯🤯🤯
Hi, believe it ....or not^^ They recorded that video in the kitchen of 2 of them, they invested 400 $ in Software and stuff. Pentatonix is just awesome
That is ABSOLUTELY NUTS
Perfect and Shallow
Love that people are still discovering PTX. Once found, forever fan. The music and genres are so varied....I can listen to them all day long, every day. Enjoy the ride.😉
I love watching your face and emotions during your reaction! Your pure enjoyment shines!
The other guy is Avi Kaplan, base singer, he was the guy with the beard, singing some in alto at some of first part of the song, and the low base note at the end of the song, for Hallelujah, that makes your speakers continue to fibrate for a minute or so, after the song is over.
Very knowledgeable reaction. Thank you so much.
Kevin Olusola will really shock you! He plays cello (while beat-boxing) and also plays saxaphone, both of which he has played at Caregie Hall. He also speaks fluent Mandarin.
I swear he has an electronic drum kit in his mouth . Insane 🙂
There is acapella, and then there is this. God tier. Great reaction!
If you enjoyed this you'll enjoy their original LOVE AGAIN. It was written by Kevin and Avi (the bass) and it's recorded similar to this with the blocks and costumes.
Avi Kaplan is the bass here, and has such depth and control he has *blown out speakers* .
Thank you for the great reaction to this early Pentatonix video. They are amazing. I look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions. Funny thing is that Mitch also changes his speaking voice a lot. It can be high, mid or low depending on his mood at the time. Please react to Pentatonix cover of "Mad World".
I love Mad World so I'm looking forward to checking that one out! Appreciate the support!
Hi. Nice reaction. Avi is the other guy. He was PTX 2011-2017. Then He had to leave due to,family illness and was replaced by Matt.
Kirstie and Mitch Change their looks all the time but its always them. Mitch, Kirstie and Scott grew up together in Texas.
Bass - Avi. 2011-2017. Then. Matt
Baritone. Scott. Great range. Can sing bass when Bass is singing
Mezzo soprano. Kirstie. She is a little power house
Counter tenor. Mitch. 6 octave and one tone range. 🤯
Beat boxer and tenor. Kevin. He is so talented it’s insane. He has perfect pitch, classically trained cellist, graduated from Pre med Yale , spent a year plus in China and speaks fluent Mandarino
Just for comparison, here is an off-mic VIP performance of Daft Punk. It’s hard to hear Avi’s bass and Kevin’s beats since it’s literally recorded on a camera phone. You will see how the skipping and glitching is done by them and not in the mix. Their studio production does polish and balance their levels (same with having a sound engineer live), but seeing how similar the song is acoustic is always fun.
th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
Your reaction was interesting, informed, and informative. If I hadn't already subscribed, I would now. :)
Both Avi and Kevin have their own channels. Avi left the group on good terms at the end of 2017 and produces some excellent solo work, usually of American Folk genre. Check out his _Change on the Rise_ when you're ready to actually feel his bass. It may not be the deepest of the modern acapella singers, but darn is it full!
Won their first Grammy for this.
Try one of their many originals...Love Again.
Their talent really shines ate the end when all five members are expressing different Daft Punk tracks. Incredible that they do this!
Breaking Bad Todd. I'm dying. That's so perfect
😂😂😂
If you don't recognize him, it's Mitch.
This was their first Grammy.
Recorded in a closet, edited on a kitchen table.
You spoke about the layering of vocal harmonies, so I'm going to give you an example of how Avi Kaplan (the bass in this video, who left the group in 2017) layers his voice expertly in his own, original music. In "I'm Only Getting Started", from his new 11-song all-original album, he layers not only his lead at points, but all the back-up vocals are him. th-cam.com/video/9tFYp3pq3PQ/w-d-xo.html
Avi's collaboration with Peter Hollens for "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" no doubt launched his layering skills.
It’s important to realize that this band getting together was kismet! Two of the voices are extraordinary in timbre Avi is a basso profundo with an F# 1 contrabass range and Mitch is an authentic countertenor! This does NOT diminish the voices of Scott or Kirstie or even Kevin! Every member in the group is sooo gifted-it’s just that the rarity of the colors of Mitch’s and Avi’s voices are profound and create the uniqueness of Pentatonix!
PTX treats their wmusicrk like a 'job', a 60 hour-a-week job! They get together daily, at one of their houses, and work on their music. Avi, the original bass, left in 2017 on good terms. He is married and has kids, and just wanted to spend more time with them. Avi has been replaced by Matt, another superb bass, and Avi even helped recruit, select, and train him.
Kevin, the beat boxer, is frankly a jaw dropping person. He graduated from Yale University, with Honors in a Degree in Music (Cello and Sax), minoring in Mandarin Chinese (he is fluent in it) was accepted to medical school, but took year delay to try out with the group. That was ten+ years ago.
The three main 'singers' have been singing together for 20 or more years in school choirs. (Imaging being a high school choir director and having those three amazing voices in your choir!) There are a couple of YT video's of them singing from High School.
Others will tell you their story. My advice is to check out Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, the classic Christmas song, the classic INSTRUMENTAL CHRISTMAS SONG. It has zero words, yet an a capella group sung it, and won their second grammy for it..
Avi isn't married and has no children. He does have a niece, his sister Esther's (who was first Pentatonix required chaperone during the Sing Off and then their tour manager until she left when she got pregnant 2 years after Avi left) child who was born in 2020. Avi had touring burnout which is a major industry problem and wasn't sure when he left if he was going to continue in music at all according to a recent interview with "Morning Edition" on NPR for his new album Floating On a Dream released May 20th.
Esther and her family live in Nashville and Avi lives 40 minutes outside of Nashville on a large property in a cabin by himself.
Avi now has a band who also sing harmony with him and a more relaxed touring schedule more of 1 month on and then 1 or 2 off.
@@gailseatonhumbert THANK YOU. I corrected the info in my post.
You need to see this when they did a private performance for a make a wish recipient...no microphone nothing...just standing in a back room doing this daft punk medley...FIRE!!!!!
If you really want to get blown away by Mitch's voice check out their version of The Prayer (originally the '90s song by Celine Dion and Andre Bocelli). He sings Celine's part for most of it and it is simply gorgeous! Also, as mentioned by others check out Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, and maybe some of their evolutions.
For the Feels: Imagine | Sound of Silence | Thank You • For the Fun: Sing | Bohemian Rapsody | Cheerleader • For the Season: Any of their Christmas songs • For the History: Any "Evolution of" video | Sing Off Season 3 1-12.
Also, Avi is the one you couldn't remember, and he left in 2017. Matt is the new base.
FYI: PTX is one of the ONLY A Cappella groups to master the 3 S-es. They sing the exact same...
...on the [S]treet
...in the [S]tudio. and
...on a [S]tage, Live, In Concert.
Also, at timestamp 4:13 with their pics in a horizontal strip, they are:
Kirstin Maldonado; Avi Kaplan (BASS) ; Kevin Olusola (BEATBOX); Scott Hoying; Mitch Grassi
You can't go wrong with any of their stuff, but you don't want to miss "New Rules x Are You That Somebody," "Havana," "Imagine" and "When the Party's Over."
One of my personal favourites with Pentatonix, is their own number "Love Again". Mitch gets to show off his range and Avi adds some great bass. I highly recommend it.
Daft Punk have had a hell of a ride. They were pioneers of electronics. This tribute from Pentatonix is absolutely brilliant 👌
Avi Kaplan is a bas, now he is great as a solo artist, he made new album, masterpiece
He said Kevin was "instrumental". He he he
Hello Skullz. So glad that you are enjoying PTX. This is Grammy #1 for PTX. You should listen to Grammy #2 - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Yes, Mitch is on the far right. Yes, the bass is Avi, second from the left in that freeze frame. For more effects that are natural vocals please react to PTXs cover of Gold (by Kiara) also there is video of them doing Daft Punk standing around in what looks like somebody's living room. Love your feedback and comments. More PTX please.
It is a hospital room for a Make A Wish request which is Pentatonix charity.
@@gailseatonhumbert Wow!! Thanks for sharing that information Gail. I didn't know that. Well done to PTX for supporting that charity.
Kevin really showcases his talents in bohemian rhapsody
I'll get there soon! 🤘
I think you would really love their rendition of Gold a lot. Mitch is just awesome in it!!! They actually have a whole lot of excellent music, they have no problem switching to different genres. For instance, they collaborated with Dolly Pardon and her song Jolene. I realize you don’t listen to Country but it’s worth a listen, they won a Grammy with that one.
Barely scratched the surface man. Keep posting them and I'll keep watching. Their originals are amazing also. Love Again is steam punk dance vibe.
there is a video of them doing this song in a green room completely raw and its awesome
The core group has been together 10 yrs. Dont underestimate Kevin. He was premed after graduating from Yale. Others will tell you more.
Would love to see you react to their "Love Again", "Radioactive" in which Kevin play the cello and beatboxes and Lindsey Sterling plays violin, and "Into the Woods" also with Lindsey Sterling.....all are different and very good examples of their range.
The bass singers name is Avi (Ahh-vee) kaplin
Really enjoyed your reaction - your musical experience adds to your reaction a lot - thanks!
I love that you notice how much attention to detail went into everything from their make up to the visuals - they work hella hard and have gathered an awesome team over the years with folks who really know their stuff for everything from their videos (FifGen Films for this one) to their arranger ( Ben Bram - the genius “6th Member” who won the Grammy for this song with them) and their production team (Ed Boyer is the one I hear mentioned most often - he’s so good with a capella a bunch of other groups use him, too).
Glitzing, syncopation, harmonies is a Pentatonix specialty!
Yes. Avi is the bass. Bearded guy.
$400 films in the kitchen recorded in a closet equals 1 g e the Pentatonix way. In original that's very similar to the style of Daft Punk is Love Again. And if you want to hear transitions of the you-know-what listen to 90s dance medley.. my personal favorite is imagine. The way that they take a message from way back when into the 2020s and make it relevant will blow you away. You also get to hear what is called the wall of sound with their harmonies. It's also in Mary Did You Know. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies one them a Grammy for singing a song that has no words with no words again that's how you win a Grammy Pentatonix Style
Check out '90's Dance Medley ' and 'Can't Hold Us' for more mind-blowing arrangements
Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie have been together since high school. Can you imagine being a choir master and having them in his choir.
Great reaction, could tell you were feeling it. Subbing for more PTX please. 👍🏻
Appreciate the support 🤘
Avi is the base in this video. He’s the one whose you couldn’t remember. Avi is a founding member but left the group for personal reasons. They breakup was amicable and Avi has continued on with a solo career.
I love this so much you rock fabulous skullz brilliant reaction have a great day much love and God bless always x
Bless you Wendy ❤️🔥🤘
They have some wonderful covers and originals from their early years. Avi the guy you didn't recognize is a generational voice, He left the group in 2017 and is now pursuing a solo career and he just released his first full length album all 11 tracks are Amazing. He also has some earlier EP's and he did a duet with Peter Hollens Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair that celebrates his amazingly beautiful lower register it should not be missed.
Another piece that is an original composition of PTX is "Love Again" they show a lot of stretch in that piece.
I love watching people get blown away by ptx ❤️😁
Glad you liked how they video’s this in the kitchen and a closet! Amazing. Absolutely deserved the Grammy and now the star on the Hollywood walk of Fame!
Btw if you want to hear early Pentatonix doing some rap, check out their Macklemore cover "Can't Hold Us"
Watch it again and note that they almost never blink. It's a bit spooky. :)
😂😂😂
Great reaction!! They are just awesome!!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Just rewatched this. And it was just as much fun the 875th time. Thanks!
When you wanna PTX hear rapping, try "Can´t hold us " cover !
This song is the frist song I haerd from pentatonx. They are so good!!!
The most amazing thing is that this song was early on, they were on their own. This was made for youtube with $400 in their apartment with the help of fifgen films in a single day. Pentatonix are the most amazing group. For diversity check out Can't touch this/Sing/ Can you feel the love tonight/run to you/ evolution of music. As for the bass Avi Kaplan "Change on the Rise" and you will never forget him again....lol. Also you should check out Kevin Olusola as well he does cello boxing. Check out his cover of "sign of the times". Of course, Scott and Mitch have the project superfruit so eventually, you should check that out too. Are you taking notes? LOL Blessings
I've seen them live. Honestly the only issue they have live? Is the sound people dont always get their mix right so sometimes when they are singing live you hear too much of one person and barely hear aanother. They are fabulous.
Kevin was "instrumental "? Haha that he is. Drums, brass, and his cello
Saxaphone specifically
I suggest listening to Gold. It's a live performance just sitting around, each with their own microphone.
Great reaction
Trivia - Avi had to teach himself to talk higher because his speaking voice is so low it was difficult to understand him.
Avi (aah-vee) Kaplan, the bass and Kevin lived together at the time of the recording of this which might explain partly why they are so in sync with each other. Also, this entire song was videoed in their kitchen using an iPad (though I could be wrong about the iPad thing). They recorded the vocals in a closet. The whole budget for this music video was about $400 and got them their first Grammy which they won with Ben Bram who does some of their arrangements.
I think you're ready for *Bohemian Rhapsody* next. It's one of the few covers that they have done that I don't consider to be an upgrade because it tried so hard to be close to the original. And they do an amazing job at it. Can't wait to see what's next! Cheers!
Definitely will get to that one soon! 🤘
Really enjoy your comments.
Every video will have Kevin, Scott, Mitch and Kirsten. Avi left the group in late 2017. After that Matt joined in an hes as talented as the rest. Keep enjoying and sharing. Kevin throws some vocals in Imagine...Mary did you know and Amazing Grace to name a few. Also try Bohemian Rhapsody...Sound of Silence...Can you feel the love tonight or 90's dance medley. Thanks and stay safe.
I enjoyed the ways you broke down some of the effects. I would enjoy hearing you react to a couple of their 5 part harmony songs…Dream’s and Run to You (an early original)
Awesome reaction. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Please keep up the ptx reactions. Really enjoyed it alot.
Thanks! More coming! 💯
