Thank you all so, so much for your incredibly kind response to my first music reaction video! I sincerely appreciate all of you being so welcoming and helpful, providing background information, tips to improve, and suggestions for what I should listen to in the future! I will absolutely be doing some more reaction videos to additional Pentatonix pieces (as well as some of the other bands/songs you all suggested) very soon. Likely, I'll have something new at the beginning of the work week. This weekend is a super busy one in the fighting games community, and I'll be a bit pre-occupied with tournament stuff until then. I just wanted to thank you all again!
You are jumping into an extremely deep rabbit hole now. Between Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay, Voctave, Peter Hollens (don't sweat it for now, but you will be introduced to all these folks on your journey should you choose to continue), they have posted over 800 cover and original songs on TH-cam. PTX fans are branded Pentaholics, Home Free fans are Home Frys. All of these folks competed on NBC's The Sing Off that aired after The Voice on Tuesday nights between Seasons 2 and 4 (although sometimes with a different group.) You can get bio.s on the people on Wikipedia or search to find their official websites. Other noteworthy groups are Natural 7, The Filharmonic, and Julia Westlin. Julia does a mix of instrumental and a Capella covers and originals.
Please react to Poets of the Fall, amazing band with an amazing singer. Their live acoustic Alexander Theater Sessions are amazing. th-cam.com/video/HltxMawzfnw/w-d-xo.html
@@MollyBeeReacts they would be better than nothing! Trust us Pentatonix requires headphones you will be amazed at how much you are not hearing. Enjoyed your reaction. Don't worry about stopping we are used to it. Subscribing in hopes of more PTX reactions.
6:18 you got "Mitch Slapped" this dude has a once in a Generation, hell, once in a lifetime voice, control, pitch, and I am glad I got to hear it. This group made modern A Capella amazing. Voiceplay: "Oggie Boogies Song", Home Free:" "Man of Constant Sorrow", Citizen Queen: "No tears left to cry". I implore you to go down this Rabbit Hole, you will hear songs that you never hear, and like you never heard. Its a wonderfull sight to behold.
Oh sweet, sweet woman. Where have you been. This group has 3 Grammy's over 5 Billion views on TH-cam combined and over 150 songs for you to react to. Having said that, I implore you to go back to the beginning and watch their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. Also, you can avoid copyright by simply putting a filter over the video, text, etc. Every member of this group is a 100% professional musician. They read, arrange, breathe and live music. Welcome to a wonderful and diverse fan-base. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
I'm literally so oblivious when it comes to contemporary music, it's a tragedy lol. I never know any of the new songs or groups... and clearly these guys aren't even that "new" LOL
They eat music for breakfast and spit it out into a song...the level of talent in each and everyone of them is beyond amazing. They are not human, they are angels or aliens or something, because humans cant do what they can do.
@@MollyBeeReacts personally, I wouldn't even bother listening to any new song, because once Pentatonix does it, the original song is ruined anyway. Lol
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole.. You will get this a lot, please use headphones. You are missing out if you don't use headphones.. Please react to their cover of Mad world.
I need a good pair of headphones, honestly. The ones I have are either earbuds (probably not ideal) or like a gaming headset that doesn't have the best sound quality. And thank you! I'll look up their cover of Mad World - I'm guessing that is going to be awesome!
@@MollyBeeReacts Just subbed to enjoy this journey. You'll find that Pentatonix doesn't just do covers, they do UPGRADES. There is a very good live recording of their 2016 Popspring performance. It was recorded by/for MTV so the quality of audio/video is top notch. An added bonus, you'll get to hear three originals and their incredible medley 'Evolution of Michael Jackson'. th-cam.com/video/7GMHqYxpnzk/w-d-xo.html
@@MollyBeeReacts Hi Molly. Good headphones are great but even average earbuds do a fantastic job of helping define all the tones and nuances that PTX use in their music that tend to get lost from speakers.
@@MollyBeeReacts I agree with Dave C: even just earbuds are better than nothing. If you can try with earbuds, that'd be great; if not, if you listen again after, try with earbuds. I guarantee you will adore Hallelujah even more if you go back and listen with earbuds. :)
Avi, bearded guy is the bass. Kevin is the beatboxer. Mitch is the tenor, high voice, Scott blond guy and Kirstin female. Keep watching them. Bohemian rhapsody cover is chilling too.
@@MollyBeeReacts Actually, Mitch is a sopranista (not a tenor or counter-tenor). That is a male voice in the same range as a soprano. Counter-tenor would be a male voice in the same range as an alto. Kirstin is a mezzo-soprano, which is in a lower range than a sopranista or a soprano (but higher than an alto or a counter-tenor). Scott is a high-baritone, because he has a better lower register than an actual tenor would have. Kevin is the 1st bass (with falsetto capabilities) and Avi is the 2nd bass (the purest form of bass).
@@ksl-diy7243 Thanks for the clarification. I always assumed that Kevin is more of a baritone type of a singer, because he is just beat-boxing most of the time or singing harmonies. Now that I think of it, I might have heard like one song, where he has a solo with some higher passages. Scott is, of course, a clear baritone, so he can sometimes sing basslines too. Also, I forgot that there is actually a proper term for the casual expression "2nd bass" too, that is "basso profundo".
I am commenting again because I really want people to understand this. The best sports teams play together for years before they become magic. The best actors work with the same directors and supporting actors before they become a team. Kirstie, Mitch, and Scott singing together for years allows them to not only match each others abilities but also anticipate each others moves. If you listen close they match each others vibrato! I want to be clear PTX did not happen over night, it is not just talent, it is years of hard work and dedication to the craft of music and a mutual respect for each other. Many things set this group apart but 2 very big factors are this. Mixed group: not all boys or girls (love you Kirstie please marry me Jeremy was a fool, anyways not important) Also, no divas (Sorry Mitch) but the real magic here is lack of ego. They love, respect, and listen to each other which allows the music to win. Not some individual's stuck up personality. Each person gets a moment to shine and when they colab with someone else they do everything to let their guest take the spotlight. This is a God given group. Never discount them never underestimate their abilities. Much love again J.
Bravo 👏! I would add that they give each other the time & encouragement to follow their own creative pathways, too. Kirstin did solo work & a stint on Broadway! Super Fruit w/Mitch & Scott, as well as each one doing collabs & solo work. Scott started AcaPop Kids (worth reacting to, BTW) and Avi started his A Capella Academy & works with high school and college vocal groups (which he still does & can be found on TH-cam). Kevin is world class sax, cello, beatboxing, & now vocal. He also helped Scott's beat boxers in AcaPop. Not sure what Matt is into yet. So the all have & allow each other to follow those ambitions w/out leaving the group.. As long as PTX comes first! Perhaps the secret of over a decade of staying together! 💖
This group and most of the groups and singers treat each other with respect and friendship. They collaborate on projects and challenge each other to improve their craft.
Agree but would also like to add that tho Avi and Kevin did not grow up together with the trio how nsync and insanely talented they are. They raise the band to a whole other level with Kevin's percussion and Avis amazing bass. Avi's overtones, whistling and other EDM skills are mind blowing and Kevin not only beat boxes but plays cello on occasion and sings as well! There are 5 members and each is important to the band. I agree with what you are saying but didnt want to leave out this very important add.
I have watch many reactions of Pentatonix's Hallelujah. I will say, yours is one of the most authentic I've seen. Fantastic reaction. Pentatonix is an amazing group. All of their Christmas songs are a must listen. Mary did you know is one of my favs. An original Christmas "Thank you" is a must also. Anyway, welcome to the Pentaholics world.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Yeah, I try with my reactions in general not to like react in an overly dramatic way just for effect. Though I definitely have screamed and flinched a lot in some horror/action movies lol. But I just want to be genuine. And original Christmas music sounds very cool too!
@@MollyBeeReacts "Thank You" is an amazing original song and I completely agree it's a must! FYI, though that particular one is not a capella. Scott plays the piano and Kevin the cello in it. Occassionally you will see them add instruments (9 times out of 10 it's just the cello), but they never try to hide it. If you see it, it's there. If you don't, it's not. Radioactive is one they did as a collab with Lindsey Stirling (so violin and cello) and it's also really awesome. If you want to go completely opposite of instruments, for a gorgeous 5 part harmony try Run to You (an original) or Mad World.
Welcome to the PTX rabbithole! If you prefer classical, then I would suggest their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, which they won their second grammy for. Also Amazing Grace.
Pentaholics will find you. You can't run, and you can't hide. ;) Absolutely great move to listen to it off camera - I've never seen a reactor do that, but it lets you get the full effect before giving your final thoughts. You should definitely consider doing more reactions, you seem like a natural. Great job!
Thanks for your reaction! Would recommend THE SOUND OF SILENCE and 90s DANCE MEDLEY when you are ready to see Pentatonix as they are today. This is with Matt in the bass position rather than Avi.
Although Kirstie and Mitch often change their look and style, in the decade they’ve been together, there has only been one change in this vocal band. Avi, the bass left amicably in 2017 for personal and family reasons and he helped find Matt, to replace him.
They have been together for 10 years and have several albums ( Christmas, covers, and the newest -originals) so plenty to listen/react to. BTW, hat guy (Mitch), that was his mid range. If you like classical they did Dance of the Sugar plum Fairy (2nd Grammy win)
Don't be surprised when you see other videos of theirs and Avi is not there. He left in 2017 for very personal reasons and found Matt to replace him. Matt is an awesome bass and has done such a great job! We all still miss Avi though but he has put out some of his own music. If you'd like to check something out he is done one of the best things I've seen is "On the Rise". A great song to check out with Matt in it is "Amazing Grace (My Chain's Are Gone)" it is beautiful.
I see that the rest of the Pentaholic Crowd has found you already, so I'll just say - welcome to the fam! We very much welcome your singing experience and your high standards - it makes it So Much Cooler, when someone recognizes the skill/craftsmanship that goes into PTX (as opposed to, say, Random Internet Denizens such as myself who can only say 'That was pretty amazing, and I don't know why I'm crying!' :) )
I'd also like to point out that these people also do their own original music. "Love Again" is one of my favorites. So glad you chose to review the Pentatonix. Welcome to the rabbit hole. Oh, yes! Speaking of rabbit holes, try "Come Along". It's mad and so fun. Matt's base line & Kevin's percussion show up extremely well here.
Recommendations. 1. Mary Did You Know. 2. Oh Come All Ye Faithful. 3. Amazing Grace. 4. Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Since you haven't listened to a lot of contemporary stuff, those 4 will give you a good grounding in what Pentatonix is and what they can do and how well they do it. They do the same songs in their live shows, and there is barely any noticeable difference in the live versions vs. the recorded ones. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pentatonix. It's a lovely place to live.
They do a beautiful version of Mary Did You Know, a blockbuster Amazing Grace, a painfully beautiful Run To You (original) in just 5 part vocals, and an agonizing Say Something with a special guest. They do a couple mostly impossible songs : Bohemian Rhapsody and Daft Punk medley. Old rock classics : Sound Of Silence and Imagine. Collaborations with Lindsey Sterling : Radioactive and Papaoutai.
Welcome to the Pentaholics. Whatever music you want to listen to, PTX has options, so it's really up to you where you want to go. Fans of react videos usually like you to start off with the most recognizable covers - this one, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Mad World... and their Daft Punk mashup. Something about the combo of well-known songs and evenly split solos make for a good jumping off point. On the other hand, if you lean toward a genre (classical, pop, R&B, rap, country, EDM... anything in between... ) or a particular member singing a lead, then there are plenty of options for each. Also whether you prefer studio produced like this one, in concert or greenroom-type live performances or the midway point (their evolution videos are one-take "live" sitting in a studio) there are recs for all of those. Even this song has a "live on TV" version that is just as good as this studio recording. Coming from classical, you'd probably love their Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairy, which won them their second Grammy, in 2016. In 2015 the particular Grammy was renamed to Best Arrangement, Instrumental *Or A Capella* specifically so they could get the nomination (and first win) with Daft Punk. Their third Grammy was Best Country Group or Duo with Dolly Parton on a reworked version of Jolene. On top of those, I recommend New Rules x Are You That Somebody (Dua Lipa/Aaliya mashup with the Timbaland beat) to introduce you to Matt Sallee who replaced Avi as the bass in 2017... and Kiiara's Gold for amazing Mitch, Kevin and Avi (give the original a cursory listen so you know what Mitch is slaying). They also have 2+ albums worth of originals, a ton of Christmas music and solo side projects. If you want to check out Mitch's high notes, he and Scott used to have a vlog called Superfruit and they did Defying Gravity from Wicked. Add in Kirstin and some drinking and you also have their Frozen medley on that channel. Serious craft, nothing near serious presentations.
Wow, thank you so much for all of this! I definitely would like to check out some of the more commonly known songs they've covered but I'd also be very curious to hear Dance of The Sugarplum Fairy! I think I'll need to listen to that one soon! And... confession... I've never seen Frozen, even though my sister's been bugging me to watch it for years. I should watch it and then I can listen to the medley and appreciate it better! lol
@@MollyBeeReacts Honestly, I've never watched Frozen, either. But I knew enough about the storyline and main songs from... wherever I picked them up... that I wasn't lost at all. Anyway, I only suggested it for the variety - Superfruit is a whole 'nother wonderful tangent that I personally love for reactors to do but it's generally better to wait until you're a little deeper into PTX, itself, unless they hit on a particular interest. The other purely "instrumental" work PTX have out and about is a Star Wars tribute they "sang" with an orchestra at... the GMAs? Some awards show. I believe they got asked to do it because of The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy arrangement. I'm not a huge Star Wars geek, but it's hard not to respect that one. Since Kevin's beatboxing wasn't really necessary he ended up doing sound effects like a lightsabre battle through it. Oh, and at one point Mitch said the highest note he's recorded in a song was in Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy... but I think he might have beat that since. It's still noteworthy.
Thank you for the great reaction. You brought back the wonderful memory of hearing Pentatonix for the first time. They are really good. The singing is flawless. The arrangements are their "signature" in their uniqueness. And their music choices and videos are top notch. They are the "whole package", if you love music. Hope to see more reactions from you.
That was a great first music reaction! And you picked a heck of a group to start with. You'll get a ton of new subscribers from us 'Pentaholics' (I'm one of them). You'll also get a ton of people (mostly politely) tell you that you need headphones. You don't. You can still appreciate them without. But oh boy, WITH headphones? If you were shook already, you'll be absolutely rocked if you listen with headphones. I only recently started using headphones (and I've been a fan for years) and you definitely hear way more. But it truly is not a requirement, and I hope you don't feel offended by some of the more blunt comments regarding headphones. Their Christmas music is amazing. All their stuff is amazing. And to truly appreciate the angel voice of Mitch, check out his cover of Billie Eilish's 'Your Power'. It's heavenly (and he also did the music for that too). Thanks for the great reaction!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this! I wasn't offended, since I am sure most people were just trying to make sure I had the best listening experience possible! I'm looking forward to digging in and hearing all of their different stuff. I'm a fan of Christmas music, so that definitely appeals to me!
@@MollyBeeReacts Do you remember that scene in The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy wakes up after the tornado and when she opens the door the film is transformed from black and white to technicolor? That’s how I would describe the difference before and after headphones. Both are wonderful, but with headphones their music is auditory technicolor. Here are “8 Good n Cheap Headphones with Studio Quality Sound: under $50” ehomerecordingstudio.com/good-cheap-headphones/
@@ksl-diy7243 Speaking of The Wizard of Oz, Pentatonix is featured in a Todrick Hall (remake?) of The Wizard titled The Wizard of Ahhhs which is super great and funny which they did back when Avi was a member.
@@larrygranbois4164 I love that video! Todrick Hall is another creative genius from Arlington, Texas. The trio collaborated with him on another cool video: Black and White.
We, the Pentaholics welcome you. There is 10 years of music to explore. You might like some of their original music like “Sing” or “Can’t Sleep Love” They are so good. They have lots of Christmas music that is also very impressive.
I envy you a little, as do many Pentatonix fans. Because you get to have the joy of hearing these songs for the first time, which we can never get again.
Shortly before he passed, Leonard Cohen the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix's cover of Hallelujah. He said it was the best cover of his song he had ever heard.
Head phones. You need them to really enjoy PTX. Listen to their version of Amazing Grace and Imagine. From their first Christmas Album a must is Mary Did You Know and Little Drummer Boy. Enjoy!!
Two more of my favorites from them - Mary, Did You Know (yes, a Christmas song) and Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace has the new bass singer (well, new compared to the bass on this recording), plus it is the version that was written for the movie about John Newton (the writer of the song), with an added chorus. In my opinion, their videography is also wonderful, both on this one and on Amazing Grace.
Welcome to PTX and great start to your music reactions. You certainly chose the right group and I hope you will continue on this track. They are amazing and their versions of “Bohemian rhapsody” and “Imagine” will blow you away. Thanks for posting. Subbed!
There are two ways to avoid copyright blocking on music video reactions. Either pause and give your thoughts as was suggested to you, OR putting some kind of effect on the video, like a blur, a color wash, light leak effects, or superimposing your channel logo over the top of it. You obviously did the right thing because the video didn't get blocked. And yes, if you do the pause, you should always go back 5 to 10 seconds to make sure you don't miss anything. And congratulations, you are the latest of many to get what we Pentaholics call "Mitch slapped" (aka The Mitch Effect) when you heard him sing the first time. This song was also my introduction to Pentatonix, and I've been hooked ever since. They've been together for ten years now and have changed the entire world of a cappella music. They have a mix of covers (some of us refer to their covers as UPGRADES), amazing originals and MANY Christmas songs (they do a new Christmas album every year). It's a DEEP rabbit hole to enter, but one that is well worth the trip! Enjoy the ride!
I really enjoyed your reaction and am glad you took the time to re-listen uninterrupted. I highly recommend ANY of this groups songs. They put their own signature on everything. They actually made "The 12 days of Christmas" entertaining.
A song that might be familiar is "Misty Mountains Cold", from "Lord of the Rings". I very much recommend reacting to the version by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust :) (was also going to suggest Nightwish, but someone else beat me to it...lol)
@@MollyBeeReacts And once you've listened to Peter and Tim, you must check out Home Free, the a capella group that Tim is the bass in. While considered a country a capella, they cover all genres with covers of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with Avi of PTX, Boyz 2 Men "End of the Road", Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" from Trolls, Shakira's "Try Everything" from Zootopia, "American Pie" with original singer Don McLean, Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill", numerous Christmas songs, and my personal favorite, Maren Morris' "My Church". New sub here for your music reaction journey!!
Enjoyed your reaction Molly, I only recently became aware of Pentatonix too, perhaps 6 months ago and I was equally taken aback. I think Hallelujah showcases just how warm, close and dynamic their harmonies are, their arrangements are simply breathtaking. A very talented group of musicians! From my perspective, their most impressive tracks are Bohemian Rhapsody, their Daft Punk mash up and Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence.
Oh yeah, now you're hooked. It happened to me also, LOL. Try Amazing Grace by them....absolutely beautiful and amazing. Even the newest 90's Dance Medley or Daft Punk....oh geeze, I could go on and on, LOL.
I suggest can you feel the love tonight by them, they all kinda have a lead, but you can hear little parts in the harmonies where mitch stands out. You'll see when you react. Also if your wondering the reason it's called the mitch slap is because of that split second face change when you hear him, or realize it's him singing, and it looks like you were slapped. Also those are notes mitch can hit everyday with no warm-up, I can't wait to see you react to songs where he hits his real high notes.
That sounds lovely, I'll look it up for sure! And oh my goodness, it definitely felt that way! LOL I am so impressed already and people are telling me that's only his mid range???
@@MollyBeeReacts yes, he can hit whistle notes out of nowhere when he hasn't even been singing, and with no warm up. I can think of around 20 of their songs right away where mitch hits a note in the fifth octave.
My second comment. PTX never does a song that They cannot reproduce live what was put out in the studio. I would now watch hallelujah live from a Christmas special Just so you can hear and compare the 2. Pentatonix isThe pinnacle of all acapella groups In my opinion. The gentleman in the beanie who's an original member left in 2017 on good terms for personal reasons and he helped find his replacement matt. Everyone else is the same. The gentleman in the hat Mitch frequently changes his look as does Kirstie, The pronunciation rhymes with thirsty.They Put out a Christmas album every year. They will upon occasion use instruments. The beat boxer Kevin u is a world class cello player. He even performed at Carnegie hall. Keep doing The reactions to Pentatonix and then once you're settled in with Then you can go with the individual groups and people who have solo careers.
Sadly, Avi left the group for personal reasons in 2017 and he was replaced by Matt Sallee. The Wizars of Ahhh's by Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix is a mini musical you should check out.
It is so rare these days to come across somebody who has not yet heard of Pentatonix yet completely falls in love with them the first time they hear them just like all of us did. What a treasure this is to discover someone new to Pentatonix with no idea the true treasure that they have just discovered! I am excitedly subscribing to follow you on this journey! Welcome to the pentaholic family. There simply isn't any going back from here at this point
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! Honestly, I'm so out of touch with music, it's sad. The person who suggested I react to them also said the same thing. They were like ..."HOW have you never even heard of Pentatonix." lmao at least now I have a whole catalogue to discover!
Great reaction. Thanks. Pentatonix has hundreds of videos and songs that are amazing. They have albums of covers, originals and Christmas music. Anything by them that you react to will be great and welcomed.
Hallelujah is a masterpiece of a song. Perhaps in my top 5 of all songs ever written. This was as good a cover as I've seen. And like you I've seen many different interpretations.
Well, there is their Daft Punk medley, Mary Did You Know, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radioactive, Can't Hold Us, Wizard of Ahhhs, Sing, Run to You, Say Something, Michael Jackson evolution... and many more.
Since you don't want to pause it, I highly recommend that you put some text over the video. For example for this video I would have put the following lines over the video: Pentatonix covering Hallelujah Original Artist Leonard Cohen We Pentaholics have seen the video 100's if not 1000's of times. Some text over the video is perfectly acceptable. Also making the video partially transparent, so what in your background confuses the YT algorithm. My Favorite PTX Christmas songs are: Little Drummer Boy, O' Come All Ye Faithful (not what you would expect), This Is Christmas To Me, and Mary Did You Know.
In a way, you've started with THE A Capella group... Voiceplay & Home Free are also great, but PTX is unique. Love your Mitch face, btw. Great reaction!
Hello Molly, welcome to our enthusiastic club :) I was trying to think what to request,, then realized allot of us have been with them from almost day one. Seen them grow up voices mature, (member change). Avi Kaplan ( basso profundo ) was bass 2011 - 2017. Matt Sallee was bass from 2017 - present I say this because i realized that people's requests will probably jump this line, making you feel like a yoyo, with the bass . In advance, I'm sorry. Goes with the job. 😐 Saying that, I would like to request a collaboration,, PTX cover of " Radioactive" featuring Lindsey Sterling
We've got to introduce you to some PMJ (Post Modern Jukebox) too... I'm excited for you - PMJ and PTX are world class and award winning artists... you will fall in love with them both!
Great reaction! I love how you became emotional when Mitch (angel) started singing. Here’s a quick PTX review- They won season 3 of the Sing-Off Members are (in order of appearance): Scott- tall blonde guy with amazing range tenor to bass. Has a soulful tone Avi- beard and beanie.tenor to bass, more like ultra bass. Has blown out speakers before. Amicably left the group in 2017 but assisted in finding his replacement (Matt) Kirsten- Mezzo Soprano, has a beautiful clear tone especially when she belts out the high notes; and she really can. Mitch (round brim hat) counter tenor- he has a very angelic tone to his voice and can sing in the very high soprano range as well. Your reaction to his solo is a common reaction that is called “being Mitch-slapped” Kevin-Beat-boxer, body-percussionist, tenor. Also plays the cello. Uber-talented. Will add to background vocals when not beat boxing. In recent videos, he’s starting to sing solo parts. Matt-joined in 2017. Tenor/bass. Replaced Avi. Very soulful tone to his voice. Perfect replacement for Avi. Now to get you started down the PENTATONIX rabbit hole: Amazing Grace (have tissues) Daft Punk- they won a Grammy for this The sound of Silence Royals I can’t help falling in love Love me when I don’t Dreams Bohemian Rhapsody Havana Can you feel the love tonight PENTATONIX fans ( and they have a lot!) are called Pentaholics. The love reaction videos. They will like and subscribe. Next time wear headphones. It will be an entirely different experience.
Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed comment! I definitely got "Mitch-slapped"! That's a great way of describing the experience! lol I'm excited to check out more of what they have done - that list sounds like they've covered an impressively wide variety of songs! And I need to get some decent headphones, I think. Mine are not super immersive (earbuds lol)!
@@MollyBeeReacts Ear buds will do! My list is just a small sample of their incredible library. I’ve never heard a bad song from them, so you can’t go wrong! I’ll be subscribing so that I can go on this journey with you.
@@MollyBeeReacts In "Amazing Grace" you will hear how Mitch sings in lower registers very beautiful. He has a very strong voice that covers 6 octaves + 1 tone.
Thankyou for starting off with Pentatonix (PTX). You picked the trailblazers of A Cappella in todays world. The rabbit hole is very deep with 150 plus songs and videos. Pentatonix records everything they can reproduce live. However as a A Cappella group, they do have a handful of songs that use instruments to enhance the song so if there is an instrument used, you will see it in the video.
I'm genuinely just so impressed by people who can perform A Cappella. It's amazing what they're able to do with their voices! I look forward to seeing more!
You just got “Mitch” slapped! 😊 I love when someone discovers PTX for the first time. You would love their rendition of “Mary Dud You Know”. I wish you all the best in your reactions journey!
Great reaction 😊 if you like classical, check out their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It will blow your mind. Their Christmas songs are all amazing, they do some very original arrangements 😊
Everyone gets blown away by Mitch's voice (hat guy) when you first hear him. This song is so powerful & beautiful it brings tears to your eyes. You should listen to their version of Amazing Grace, beautiful! I love watching "Its Me Barry" reactions, he listens to a song twice-the 1st time is straight thru without stopping it then a 2nd time where he will stop it & provide his reviews.
Just watched your PTX Hallelujah reaction video. I thought your reactions and comments were very genuine and honest and I loved it. I just subscribed in the hopes that you will do more PTX reactions. I've read all the comments to this point and see that you have gotten recommendations to do all of their most popular and well known songs so I'll not bother with those. For some lesser known and I feel underappreciated songs, I like "Sing" (an original - about 42 million views) and "Come Along" (a cover by Cosmo Sheldrake - about 10 million views). These are more up tempo and what I refer to as "happy" songs because they always raise my spirits and make me feel good. I highly recommend them and since you said you like Christmas music, my favorite is their version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" and remember it doesn't have to be December to listen to Christmas music. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next PTX reaction.
Hey Miss Molly, loved the reaction....and you missed half of it. Please, put on some decent to good head phones or ear buds. When listening to a'cappella in general and the elite groups in particular there are so many filler and background noises they're producing you just have no chance at catching the full effect without the hearing aids. Thanks for a great reaction and welcome to the PTX Rabbit Hole.
Hi Molly, I’ve notice some reactors using filters or a “pentatonix font” over their videos, I haven’t heard that they’re having any issues w/blockings….the plus side, most of us have seen the videos and the filter will allow you to watch in full w/out stopping if you wish to watch it that way-tho stopping to say something is okay too! Just go back a smig when you restart the video, like you did:-) the headphones are also a good suggestion for being able to hear everything happening in the fore and background vocals! Enjoy the ride…they are just as goo live if not better! If you don’t see any instrument then the didn’t use them-, Kevin the beatboxer plays the cello in a few songs and plays at their concerts. Scott just recently started playing the piano and made an appearance in one song was from their most recent Christmas (song: thank you) and also once in their 2021 original albums-they use them tastefully and it always adds another element to the songs they choose-they have been know to add something like in the 90s Dance Medley, they used did a nod to a voice box and the Cher sound, called the Cher affect, but they only use it to pay tribute to someone or the sound, they never over use anything, they take pride in doing everything themselves! They’re my favorite vocal group! Enjoy the ride!!
You can a review Amazing Grace that's kind of up-to-date to get a couple of new songs after that but that's one that they put out around the end of November 1st of December and it is the most amazing amazing gray she'll ever here and also just FYI you only need to stop twice to the video to fulfill TH-cam's requirement so just to keep that in mind
Kevin the beat boxer is a classically trained cellist. He invented cello boxing ( where he plays his cello and beatboxes). He also graduated pre med Yale and speaks fluent Mandarin, just in case you didn’t think he was talented enough😄 He is simply a genius. Actually they all are off the charts! Mitch in the hat is out of this world.
We Pentaholics love new reactors - especially when this is their first exposure and they hear Mitch for the first time. He is a high tenor (some call it counter tenor) and the look reactors get is sometimes called being "Mitch slapped". WE LOVE IT. Hope you do more Pentatonix. If you do (they have a catalog from 2011 to present), There has only been one change in the line up. The guy with the beanie and beard - Avi Kaplan, Bass - left in 2018. He was replaced full time by Matt Sallee, Bass, in 2018. Mitch Grasse, High Tenor and Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, Mezzo-soprano, both love to change their looks A LOT. Especially Mitch. So if you think there are more new members, it's just Mitch and Kirstie. The beatboxer is Kevin Olusola. He also plays the cello and sings tenor. He is AMAZING!! The last member is Scott Hoying, Baritone. He will cover the bass part when the bass has the solo line. All of them have HUGE vocal ranges so there are never any holes in the harmonies. That is part of their incredible sound. I believe all of them are also songwriters, so they have a pretty good collection of original music, both as the group and as individuals.
A brief introduction to Pentatonix (aka PTX): A five member acapella (no instrument) group. They sing covers of pop songs and have several Christmas albums in their catalog. They've also put out two albums of original material, one just released February 12, 2021 (The Lucky Ones). The original five band members were Scott, Kirstin (aka Kirstie), Mitch, Kevin and Avi. Scott, Kirstin and Mitch knew each other from high school in Texas, USA. They formed the group in 2011, adding Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer). They auditioned, competed and won season 3 of the television show The Sing-Off. They've also won multiple awards over the years including three Grammys. While viewing PTX videos spanning a decade, it may appear that there has been several personel changes due to their ever-changing appearances, Kirstin and Mitch in particular. The fact is; only one member has changed. Of the five original members, four are still in the group. Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced with Matt. While performing as an acappella group since they formed, they occasionally introduce instruments such as piano (played by Scott) and cello (played by Kevin). They've also included vocals and instrumentals played by featured guests. Most of their 'instrumental' sounds however, are created by Kevin, their very talented beatboxer along with baselines performed by Avi, Matt and Scott. While performing together as a five-member group, they also have individual works worth investigating. There's so much more information 'Penta-holics' can add to this list. Just ask and they will respond. Enjoy!
Hey Molly... wonderful reaction. Happy that you finally found PTX. You said that you have a really high standard, I think Pentatonix exceeded it, oui? You will never find better a cappella than them. The high tenor (Mitch) caught you off guard a wee bit. As others have mentioned, go with headphones. They will help with the bass a lot. Listen to more PTX please and enjoy. Incidentally, Kevin the beatboxer will impress you with his other talents on this solo video. Check it out. th-cam.com/video/IGjg193h4Ok/w-d-xo.html or try their 90's dance medley th-cam.com/video/57YEAEKKcOk/w-d-xo.html Thank you Molly 😎
They are truly amazing world class vocalists and all can sing. Mitch face!! it always happens when 1st hearing Mitch. Other songs??? Hundreds!! 3 Grammy's + 5 BILLION views..they are the KINGS of A Capella. I would suggest "Can you fell the Love tonight", then "Bohemian Rhapsody" or for Christmas music start "Mary Did You Know" and their unique spin on "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" these people are treasures. Pentaholics will come to watch and we understand the pausing, it's part of reaction vids. loved your response
Nice and honest reaction! Thx!! They are impressive indeed Good news is that they have PLENTY of good songs to discover, and they are able to spice them all up As suggested below please use good headphones to experience the full hit of their beautiful harmonies and voice quality, specially the bass (the bearded guy, Avi) and the beatboxed (black guy, Kevin) Welcome to PTX rabbit hole! Please check their “Imagine” “Can you feel the love tonight” “Amazing Grace” or “Daft Punk” covers See you in the next one
I went on a multi-day deep dive of reactions for this song a while back. This is the first time someone I was already subscribed to did a reaction to it :) I'd love to see a reaction to their Daft Punk medley
Ohhhh nice!!! I love it when someone I'm subscribed to tries out something I already loved but didn't expect them to react to! And I definitely will do that!
Molly Bee if you plan on more music reactions might I suggest "Post Modern Jukebox" with over 1 billion views PMJ is very popular just a few of their cover songs "Creep", "Dream On", "Maps" , "All About that Bass" and a few hundred more songs
Molly, you’ve been Mitch slapped! Mitch brings me to tears quite often. Each one in the group including Matt Salle, have professional, resonant clear voices.
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! Also make sure to check out Kevin, the beatboxer's solo stuff. Try his cover of Marian Hill's song Down, it's amazing. (Also, I have that same gold dragon :-D)
When Mitch kicked in with his solo, your face showed the distinct signs of being what we Pentaholics call being "Mitch slapped!" LOL! Once you know all their names you too will be a certified PENTAHOLIC!
Not sure how your videos ended up on my feed, but great first time music reaction !!!!!! I see all your other videos of movies and shows, so I will be checking those out to. Just a little tip as one music reactor to another..... if you wanna pause the song, just hit space bar...and if you wanna go back 5 secs... use the Left arrow key...ahead 5 secs....right arrow key.... hope that helps you a little for the pausing !!!! :) Rock on !!!!
What a great music reaction! You just got yourself a follow! If you are open for suggestion I can highly recommend the Norwegian artist AURORA. A good place to start is "The Seed" official music video.

Thank you all so, so much for your incredibly kind response to my first music reaction video! I sincerely appreciate all of you being so welcoming and helpful, providing background information, tips to improve, and suggestions for what I should listen to in the future! I will absolutely be doing some more reaction videos to additional Pentatonix pieces (as well as some of the other bands/songs you all suggested) very soon. Likely, I'll have something new at the beginning of the work week. This weekend is a super busy one in the fighting games community, and I'll be a bit pre-occupied with tournament stuff until then. I just wanted to thank you all again!
If you want your mind completely blown out of existence, listen to their versions of Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody.
You are jumping into an extremely deep rabbit hole now. Between Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay, Voctave, Peter Hollens (don't sweat it for now, but you will be introduced to all these folks on your journey should you choose to continue), they have posted over 800 cover and original songs on TH-cam. PTX fans are branded Pentaholics, Home Free fans are Home Frys. All of these folks competed on NBC's The Sing Off that aired after The Voice on Tuesday nights between Seasons 2 and 4 (although sometimes with a different group.) You can get bio.s on the people on Wikipedia or search to find their official websites.
Other noteworthy groups are Natural 7, The Filharmonic, and Julia Westlin. Julia does a mix of instrumental and a Capella covers and originals.
Cool reaction and song choice Molly! Can't wait for your next one!
Kudos on your first music reaction. Perfect way to start your journey is with Pentatonix!! Love this. 💕
Please react to Poets of the Fall, amazing band with an amazing singer. Their live acoustic Alexander Theater Sessions are amazing. th-cam.com/video/HltxMawzfnw/w-d-xo.html
„Let me go back a few seconds so i can get hit by that“
*ah, yes. Turning the other cheek for a second Mitch slap* 😂😂
Hahahaha and I don't regret it!
Loved the Mitch face here.
@@MollyBeeReacts Mitch Grassi is a rare gem indeed. He uploaded a rare solo covering Billie Eilish's "Your Power" which is miraculous in its beauty.
That saying you've been Mitch slapped is funny and then went in for a second one
The Mitch slap is real! :)
MITCH FACE!!!!!!!!!! It never fails. The reactions when people hear Mitch's voice for the first time is priceless.
Headphones are important while listening to acapella for better bass and harmonies. You'll hear the difference
I'll have to get some decent quality ones. My current earbuds probably won't cut it LOL
It sounds like she has a really good sound system. That bass was coming through just fine to the point where she said she felt it in her chest.
@@MollyBeeReacts they would be better than nothing! Trust us Pentatonix requires headphones you will be amazed at how much you are not hearing. Enjoyed your reaction. Don't worry about stopping we are used to it. Subscribing in hopes of more PTX reactions.
@@heatherhuard Unless you have a house built around a sound room anyway... :)
Yes, headphones are a must with any a Capella group.
6:18 you got "Mitch Slapped" this dude has a once in a Generation, hell, once in a lifetime voice, control, pitch, and I am glad I got to hear it. This group made modern A Capella amazing. Voiceplay: "Oggie Boogies Song", Home Free:" "Man of Constant Sorrow", Citizen Queen: "No tears left to cry". I implore you to go down this Rabbit Hole, you will hear songs that you never hear, and like you never heard. Its a wonderfull sight to behold.
Oh sweet, sweet woman. Where have you been. This group has 3 Grammy's over 5 Billion views on TH-cam combined and over 150 songs for you to react to. Having said that, I implore you to go back to the beginning and watch their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. Also, you can avoid copyright by simply putting a filter over the video, text, etc. Every member of this group is a 100% professional musician. They read, arrange, breathe and live music. Welcome to a wonderful and diverse fan-base. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
I'm literally so oblivious when it comes to contemporary music, it's a tragedy lol. I never know any of the new songs or groups... and clearly these guys aren't even that "new" LOL
They eat music for breakfast and spit it out into a song...the level of talent in each and everyone of them is beyond amazing. They are not human, they are angels or aliens or something, because humans cant do what they can do.
@@MollyBeeReacts personally, I wouldn't even bother listening to any new song, because once Pentatonix does it, the original song is ruined anyway. Lol
@@ninij9692 harsh, but true lmao 😂
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole..
You will get this a lot, please use headphones.
You are missing out if you don't use headphones..
Please react to their cover of Mad world.
I need a good pair of headphones, honestly. The ones I have are either earbuds (probably not ideal) or like a gaming headset that doesn't have the best sound quality. And thank you! I'll look up their cover of Mad World - I'm guessing that is going to be awesome!
@@MollyBeeReacts Just subbed to enjoy this journey. You'll find that Pentatonix doesn't just do covers, they do UPGRADES. There is a very good live recording of their 2016 Popspring performance. It was recorded by/for MTV so the quality of audio/video is top notch. An added bonus, you'll get to hear three originals and their incredible medley 'Evolution of Michael Jackson'. th-cam.com/video/7GMHqYxpnzk/w-d-xo.html
@@MollyBeeReacts Hi Molly. Good headphones are great but even average earbuds do a fantastic job of helping define all the tones and nuances that PTX use in their music that tend to get lost from speakers.
@@MollyBeeReacts I agree with Dave C: even just earbuds are better than nothing. If you can try with earbuds, that'd be great; if not, if you listen again after, try with earbuds. I guarantee you will adore Hallelujah even more if you go back and listen with earbuds. :)
@@BladeCPL LOL. Greater appreciation for Avi/Matt and the bass range, for sure. The chest doesn't just rumble, it practically explodes!
Avi, bearded guy is the bass. Kevin is the beatboxer. Mitch is the tenor, high voice, Scott blond guy and Kirstin female. Keep watching them. Bohemian rhapsody cover is chilling too.
Thank you so much and I definitely will!
@@MollyBeeReacts Actually, Mitch is a sopranista (not a tenor or counter-tenor). That is a male voice in the same range as a soprano. Counter-tenor would be a male voice in the same range as an alto. Kirstin is a mezzo-soprano, which is in a lower range than a sopranista or a soprano (but higher than an alto or a counter-tenor). Scott is a high-baritone, because he has a better lower register than an actual tenor would have. Kevin is the 1st bass (with falsetto capabilities) and Avi is the 2nd bass (the purest form of bass).
@@Apollyon.King.of.the.Locusts actually, Kevin is a tenor. Scott covers bass when Avi takes lead.
@@ksl-diy7243 Thanks for the clarification. I always assumed that Kevin is more of a baritone type of a singer, because he is just beat-boxing most of the time or singing harmonies. Now that I think of it, I might have heard like one song, where he has a solo with some higher passages. Scott is, of course, a clear baritone, so he can sometimes sing basslines too.
Also, I forgot that there is actually a proper term for the casual expression "2nd bass" too, that is "basso profundo".
@@Apollyon.King.of.the.Locusts To hear Kevin sing in his lovely tenor voice listen to Amazing Grace or Mary Did You Know!
I am commenting again because I really want people to understand this. The best sports teams play together for years before they become magic. The best actors work with the same directors and supporting actors before they become a team. Kirstie, Mitch, and Scott singing together for years allows them to not only match each others abilities but also anticipate each others moves. If you listen close they match each others vibrato! I want to be clear PTX did not happen over night, it is not just talent, it is years of hard work and dedication to the craft of music and a mutual respect for each other. Many things set this group apart but 2 very big factors are this. Mixed group: not all boys or girls (love you Kirstie please marry me Jeremy was a fool, anyways not important) Also, no divas (Sorry Mitch) but the real magic here is lack of ego. They love, respect, and listen to each other which allows the music to win. Not some individual's stuck up personality. Each person gets a moment to shine and when they colab with someone else they do everything to let their guest take the spotlight. This is a God given group. Never discount them never underestimate their abilities. Much love again J.
Well said!
Bravo 👏!
I would add that they give each other the time & encouragement to follow their own creative pathways, too. Kirstin did solo work & a stint on Broadway! Super Fruit w/Mitch & Scott, as well as each one doing collabs & solo work. Scott started AcaPop Kids (worth reacting to, BTW) and Avi started his A Capella Academy & works with high school and college vocal groups (which he still does & can be found on TH-cam). Kevin is world class sax, cello, beatboxing, & now vocal. He also helped Scott's beat boxers in AcaPop. Not sure what Matt is into yet. So the all have & allow each other to follow those ambitions w/out leaving the group.. As long as PTX comes first! Perhaps the secret of over a decade of staying together! 💖
This group and most of the groups and singers treat each other with respect and friendship. They collaborate on projects and challenge each other to improve their craft.
Agree but would also like to add that tho Avi and Kevin did not grow up together with the trio how nsync and insanely talented they are. They raise the band to a whole other level with Kevin's percussion and Avis amazing bass. Avi's overtones, whistling and other EDM skills are mind blowing and Kevin not only beat boxes but plays cello on occasion and sings as well! There are 5 members and each is important to the band. I agree with what you are saying but didnt want to leave out this very important add.
In saying that both HomeFree and Voiceplay both have a core of people that grew up together and have been working together for 15 years plus.
I have watch many reactions of Pentatonix's Hallelujah. I will say, yours is one of the most authentic I've seen. Fantastic reaction. Pentatonix is an amazing group. All of their Christmas songs are a must listen. Mary did you know is one of my favs. An original Christmas "Thank you" is a must also. Anyway, welcome to the Pentaholics world.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! Yeah, I try with my reactions in general not to like react in an overly dramatic way just for effect. Though I definitely have screamed and flinched a lot in some horror/action movies lol. But I just want to be genuine. And original Christmas music sounds very cool too!
@@MollyBeeReacts "Thank You" is an amazing original song and I completely agree it's a must! FYI, though that particular one is not a capella. Scott plays the piano and Kevin the cello in it. Occassionally you will see them add instruments (9 times out of 10 it's just the cello), but they never try to hide it. If you see it, it's there. If you don't, it's not. Radioactive is one they did as a collab with Lindsey Stirling (so violin and cello) and it's also really awesome. If you want to go completely opposite of instruments, for a gorgeous 5 part harmony try Run to You (an original) or Mad World.
@@MollyBeeReacts That's Christmas To Me is also an original, and it is amazing.
Welcome to the PTX rabbithole! If you prefer classical, then I would suggest their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, which they won their second grammy for. Also Amazing Grace.
I will add those two to the list! I'm very curious about Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy! And thank you!
@@MollyBeeReacts my favorite description for that is "a song without words sung by a group without instruments won them their 2nd Grammy"
I love the "Mitch Face" when he starts to sing.
Pentaholics will find you. You can't run, and you can't hide. ;) Absolutely great move to listen to it off camera - I've never seen a reactor do that, but it lets you get the full effect before giving your final thoughts. You should definitely consider doing more reactions, you seem like a natural. Great job!
That's okay, I embrace them! lol
Thanks for your reaction! Would recommend THE SOUND OF SILENCE and 90s DANCE MEDLEY when you are ready to see Pentatonix as they are today. This is with Matt in the bass position rather than Avi.
Thank you for watching and for your recommendations! And ohhh a 90s Dance Medley? That sounds really fun!!!
Although Kirstie and Mitch often change their look and style, in the decade they’ve been together, there has only been one change in this vocal band. Avi, the bass left amicably in 2017 for personal and family reasons and he helped find Matt, to replace him.
They have been together for 10 years and have several albums ( Christmas, covers, and the newest -originals) so plenty to listen/react to. BTW, hat guy (Mitch), that was his mid range. If you like classical they did Dance of the Sugar plum Fairy (2nd Grammy win)
That was his MID RANGE????? Oh wow!
@@MollyBeeReacts yep, he’s a counter tenor. Though many people think he’s an angel or an alien. We love us some Mitch!
@@bridgethaines7127 If you say that Mitch is like alien im curiouse what will be your opinion for Dimash Kudaibergen then? :D
Don't be surprised when you see other videos of theirs and Avi is not there. He left in 2017 for very personal reasons and found Matt to replace him. Matt is an awesome bass and has done such a great job! We all still miss Avi though but he has put out some of his own music. If you'd like to check something out he is done one of the best things I've seen is "On the Rise".
A great song to check out with Matt in it is "Amazing Grace (My Chain's Are Gone)" it is beautiful.
@@MollyBeeReacts I agree. He seems to have little trouble hitting G5.
My favorite comment about this vid was that Pentatonix hums better than most people can sing.
I see that the rest of the Pentaholic Crowd has found you already, so I'll just say - welcome to the fam! We very much welcome your singing experience and your high standards - it makes it So Much Cooler, when someone recognizes the skill/craftsmanship that goes into PTX (as opposed to, say, Random Internet Denizens such as myself who can only say 'That was pretty amazing, and I don't know why I'm crying!' :) )
I'd also like to point out that these people also do their own original music. "Love Again" is one of my favorites. So glad you chose to review the Pentatonix. Welcome to the rabbit hole. Oh, yes! Speaking of rabbit holes, try "Come Along". It's mad and so fun. Matt's base line & Kevin's percussion show up extremely well here.
Recommendations.
1. Mary Did You Know.
2. Oh Come All Ye Faithful.
3. Amazing Grace.
4. Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
Since you haven't listened to a lot of contemporary stuff, those 4 will give you a good grounding in what Pentatonix is and what they can do and how well they do it. They do the same songs in their live shows, and there is barely any noticeable difference in the live versions vs. the recorded ones.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Pentatonix. It's a lovely place to live.
They do a beautiful version of Mary Did You Know, a blockbuster Amazing Grace, a painfully beautiful Run To You (original) in just 5 part vocals, and an agonizing Say Something with a special guest. They do a couple mostly impossible songs : Bohemian Rhapsody and Daft Punk medley.
Old rock classics : Sound Of Silence and Imagine. Collaborations with Lindsey Sterling : Radioactive and Papaoutai.
Welcome to the Pentaholics.
Whatever music you want to listen to, PTX has options, so it's really up to you where you want to go. Fans of react videos usually like you to start off with the most recognizable covers - this one, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Mad World... and their Daft Punk mashup. Something about the combo of well-known songs and evenly split solos make for a good jumping off point.
On the other hand, if you lean toward a genre (classical, pop, R&B, rap, country, EDM... anything in between... ) or a particular member singing a lead, then there are plenty of options for each. Also whether you prefer studio produced like this one, in concert or greenroom-type live performances or the midway point (their evolution videos are one-take "live" sitting in a studio) there are recs for all of those. Even this song has a "live on TV" version that is just as good as this studio recording.
Coming from classical, you'd probably love their Dance Of The Sugarplum Fairy, which won them their second Grammy, in 2016. In 2015 the particular Grammy was renamed to Best Arrangement, Instrumental *Or A Capella* specifically so they could get the nomination (and first win) with Daft Punk. Their third Grammy was Best Country Group or Duo with Dolly Parton on a reworked version of Jolene.
On top of those, I recommend New Rules x Are You That Somebody (Dua Lipa/Aaliya mashup with the Timbaland beat) to introduce you to Matt Sallee who replaced Avi as the bass in 2017... and Kiiara's Gold for amazing Mitch, Kevin and Avi (give the original a cursory listen so you know what Mitch is slaying). They also have 2+ albums worth of originals, a ton of Christmas music and solo side projects. If you want to check out Mitch's high notes, he and Scott used to have a vlog called Superfruit and they did Defying Gravity from Wicked. Add in Kirstin and some drinking and you also have their Frozen medley on that channel. Serious craft, nothing near serious presentations.
And with the Superfruit vids, always watch through to the end.... they put bloopers after credits.
Wow, thank you so much for all of this! I definitely would like to check out some of the more commonly known songs they've covered but I'd also be very curious to hear Dance of The Sugarplum Fairy! I think I'll need to listen to that one soon! And... confession... I've never seen Frozen, even though my sister's been bugging me to watch it for years. I should watch it and then I can listen to the medley and appreciate it better! lol
@@MollyBeeReacts Honestly, I've never watched Frozen, either. But I knew enough about the storyline and main songs from... wherever I picked them up... that I wasn't lost at all. Anyway, I only suggested it for the variety - Superfruit is a whole 'nother wonderful tangent that I personally love for reactors to do but it's generally better to wait until you're a little deeper into PTX, itself, unless they hit on a particular interest.
The other purely "instrumental" work PTX have out and about is a Star Wars tribute they "sang" with an orchestra at... the GMAs? Some awards show. I believe they got asked to do it because of The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy arrangement. I'm not a huge Star Wars geek, but it's hard not to respect that one. Since Kevin's beatboxing wasn't really necessary he ended up doing sound effects like a lightsabre battle through it.
Oh, and at one point Mitch said the highest note he's recorded in a song was in Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy... but I think he might have beat that since. It's still noteworthy.
Thank you for the great reaction. You brought back the wonderful memory of hearing Pentatonix for the first time. They are really good. The singing is flawless. The arrangements are their "signature" in their uniqueness. And their music choices and videos are top notch. They are the "whole package", if you love music. Hope to see more reactions from you.
Thank you for your support and for watching! I will absolutely be doing more reactions in the future!
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Enjoy your stay! (You can check out any time you like...but you can never leave!) :)
Thank you! So far, I'm very pleased and will be trapped of my own volition lol!
That was a great first music reaction! And you picked a heck of a group to start with. You'll get a ton of new subscribers from us 'Pentaholics' (I'm one of them). You'll also get a ton of people (mostly politely) tell you that you need headphones. You don't. You can still appreciate them without. But oh boy, WITH headphones? If you were shook already, you'll be absolutely rocked if you listen with headphones. I only recently started using headphones (and I've been a fan for years) and you definitely hear way more. But it truly is not a requirement, and I hope you don't feel offended by some of the more blunt comments regarding headphones.
Their Christmas music is amazing. All their stuff is amazing. And to truly appreciate the angel voice of Mitch, check out his cover of Billie Eilish's 'Your Power'. It's heavenly (and he also did the music for that too).
Thanks for the great reaction!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate this! I wasn't offended, since I am sure most people were just trying to make sure I had the best listening experience possible! I'm looking forward to digging in and hearing all of their different stuff. I'm a fan of Christmas music, so that definitely appeals to me!
@@MollyBeeReacts Do you remember that scene in The Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy wakes up after the tornado and when she opens the door the film is transformed from black and white to technicolor? That’s how I would describe the difference before and after headphones. Both are wonderful, but with headphones their music is auditory technicolor.
Here are “8 Good n Cheap Headphones with Studio Quality Sound: under $50” ehomerecordingstudio.com/good-cheap-headphones/
@@ksl-diy7243 Speaking of The Wizard of Oz, Pentatonix is featured in a Todrick Hall (remake?) of The Wizard titled The Wizard of Ahhhs which is super great and funny which they did back when Avi was a member.
@@larrygranbois4164 I love that video! Todrick Hall is another creative genius from Arlington, Texas. The trio collaborated with him on another cool video: Black and White.
@@ksl-diy7243 Agree and yes Black and White is another favorite!
We, the Pentaholics welcome you.
There is 10 years of music to explore.
You might like some of their original music like “Sing” or “Can’t Sleep Love”
They are so good. They have lots of Christmas music that is also very impressive.
I envy you a little, as do many Pentatonix fans.
Because you get to have the joy of hearing these songs for the first time, which we can never get again.
Shortly before he passed, Leonard Cohen the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix's cover of Hallelujah. He said it was the best cover of his song he had ever heard.
Head phones. You need them to really enjoy PTX. Listen to their version of Amazing Grace and Imagine. From their first Christmas Album a must is Mary Did You Know and Little Drummer Boy. Enjoy!!
Two more of my favorites from them - Mary, Did You Know (yes, a Christmas song) and Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace has the new bass singer (well, new compared to the bass on this recording), plus it is the version that was written for the movie about John Newton (the writer of the song), with an added chorus. In my opinion, their videography is also wonderful, both on this one and on Amazing Grace.
Welcome to PTX and great start to your music reactions. You certainly chose the right group and I hope you will continue on this track. They are amazing and their versions of “Bohemian rhapsody” and “Imagine” will blow you away. Thanks for posting. Subbed!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support and I'll definitely be checking those out too!
There are two ways to avoid copyright blocking on music video reactions. Either pause and give your thoughts as was suggested to you, OR putting some kind of effect on the video, like a blur, a color wash, light leak effects, or superimposing your channel logo over the top of it. You obviously did the right thing because the video didn't get blocked. And yes, if you do the pause, you should always go back 5 to 10 seconds to make sure you don't miss anything. And congratulations, you are the latest of many to get what we Pentaholics call "Mitch slapped" (aka The Mitch Effect) when you heard him sing the first time. This song was also my introduction to Pentatonix, and I've been hooked ever since. They've been together for ten years now and have changed the entire world of a cappella music. They have a mix of covers (some of us refer to their covers as UPGRADES), amazing originals and MANY Christmas songs (they do a new Christmas album every year). It's a DEEP rabbit hole to enter, but one that is well worth the trip! Enjoy the ride!
I really enjoyed your reaction and am glad you took the time to re-listen uninterrupted. I highly recommend ANY of this groups songs. They put their own signature on everything. They actually made "The 12 days of Christmas" entertaining.
A song that might be familiar is "Misty Mountains Cold", from "Lord of the Rings". I very much recommend reacting to the version by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust :) (was also going to suggest Nightwish, but someone else beat me to it...lol)
That is familiar to me, since I'm a huge LoTR fan!!! I'll look up that version - and Nightwish for sure! Thank you!
@@MollyBeeReacts And once you've listened to Peter and Tim, you must check out Home Free, the a capella group that Tim is the bass in. While considered a country a capella, they cover all genres with covers of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with Avi of PTX, Boyz 2 Men "End of the Road", Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling" from Trolls, Shakira's "Try Everything" from Zootopia, "American Pie" with original singer Don McLean, Ed Sheeran's "Castle on the Hill", numerous Christmas songs, and my personal favorite, Maren Morris' "My Church". New sub here for your music reaction journey!!
Fellow Pentaholics?............
She's one of us now. 😎👍
Enjoyed your reaction Molly, I only recently became aware of Pentatonix too, perhaps 6 months ago and I was equally taken aback. I think Hallelujah showcases just how warm, close and dynamic their harmonies are, their arrangements are simply breathtaking. A very talented group of musicians!
From my perspective, their most impressive tracks are Bohemian Rhapsody, their Daft Punk mash up and Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence.
Welcome to the Pentaholics rabbit hole. You absolutely have to wear headphones
Everyone's telling me this so I guess it's time to buy some good ones! lol
Oh yeah, now you're hooked. It happened to me also, LOL. Try Amazing Grace by them....absolutely beautiful and amazing. Even the newest 90's Dance Medley or Daft Punk....oh geeze, I could go on and on, LOL.
Mary Did You Know is breathtakingly beautiful.
This group is amazing, enjoy !😎
Thank you so much! I'm loving them so far!
I suggest can you feel the love tonight by them, they all kinda have a lead, but you can hear little parts in the harmonies where mitch stands out. You'll see when you react. Also if your wondering the reason it's called the mitch slap is because of that split second face change when you hear him, or realize it's him singing, and it looks like you were slapped. Also those are notes mitch can hit everyday with no warm-up, I can't wait to see you react to songs where he hits his real high notes.
That sounds lovely, I'll look it up for sure! And oh my goodness, it definitely felt that way! LOL I am so impressed already and people are telling me that's only his mid range???
@@MollyBeeReacts yes, he can hit whistle notes out of nowhere when he hasn't even been singing, and with no warm up. I can think of around 20 of their songs right away where mitch hits a note in the fifth octave.
Avi can also hit whistle notes. And can sing bass at the same time as he's singing whistle notes. He does overtones.
One of the better Mitch faces from a reactor. It's what we come for.
if you really want to be impressed go and watch the live version of this, it sounds basically the same.
My second comment. PTX never does a song that They cannot reproduce live what was put out in the studio. I would now watch hallelujah live from a Christmas special Just so you can hear and compare the 2. Pentatonix isThe pinnacle of all acapella groups In my opinion. The gentleman in the beanie who's an original member left in 2017 on good terms for personal reasons and he helped find his replacement matt. Everyone else is the same. The gentleman in the hat Mitch frequently changes his look as does Kirstie, The pronunciation rhymes with thirsty.They Put out a Christmas album every year. They will upon occasion use instruments. The beat boxer Kevin u is a world class cello player. He even performed at Carnegie hall. Keep doing The reactions to Pentatonix and then once you're settled in with Then you can go with the individual groups and people who have solo careers.
I absolutely LOVE your "Mitch slap" moment. You are one of us now lol.
I love love LOVE watching someone get Mitch slapped lol
Sadly, Avi left the group for personal reasons in 2017 and he was replaced by Matt Sallee. The Wizars of Ahhh's by Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix is a mini musical you should check out.
It is so rare these days to come across somebody who has not yet heard of Pentatonix yet completely falls in love with them the first time they hear them just like all of us did. What a treasure this is to discover someone new to Pentatonix with no idea the true treasure that they have just discovered! I am excitedly subscribing to follow you on this journey! Welcome to the pentaholic family. There simply isn't any going back from here at this point
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! Honestly, I'm so out of touch with music, it's sad. The person who suggested I react to them also said the same thing. They were like ..."HOW have you never even heard of Pentatonix." lmao at least now I have a whole catalogue to discover!
Headphones add so much depth to the music
Great reaction. Thanks. Pentatonix has hundreds of videos and songs that are amazing. They have albums of covers, originals and Christmas music. Anything by them that you react to will be great and welcomed.
“I have a pretty high standard for it.”
I’m here for more PTX anytime.!!
HINT: Headphones will enhance your listening enjoyment. Great reaction. You're in for a the ride of a lifetime.
Yes, headphones next. You'll love it even more!!!
Please react to Pentatonix singing “ Mary Did You Know”, “ Amazing Grace” “Imagine”, “ Daft Punk”, Bohemian Rapsody, “Be My Eyes”
Hallelujah is a masterpiece of a song. Perhaps in my top 5 of all songs ever written. This was as good a cover as I've seen. And like you I've seen many different interpretations.
It's a beautiful song that has always resonated with me strongly. I definitely think this is the best cover version I've seen!
@@MollyBeeReacts I agree. I've seen Jeff Bukley's and K.D Lang's take on the song and I really enjoy them as well, but I love this version.
Congratulations, you have just been Mitch-slapped 😉
I absolutely have! lol
Well, there is their Daft Punk medley, Mary Did You Know, Bohemian Rhapsody, Radioactive, Can't Hold Us, Wizard of Ahhhs, Sing, Run to You, Say Something, Michael Jackson evolution... and many more.
Headphones!!! You'll thank us.
I'm gathering that they're needed! I'll make sure to get some before next time!
HEADPHONES! For any music, but, particularly acapella to fully hear the bass. You've missed a lot in this song. Get HEADPHONES!
Since you don't want to pause it, I highly recommend that you put some text over the video. For example for this video I would have put the following lines over the video:
Pentatonix covering
Hallelujah
Original Artist
Leonard Cohen
We Pentaholics have seen the video 100's if not 1000's of times. Some text over the video is perfectly acceptable. Also making the video partially transparent, so what in your background confuses the YT algorithm.
My Favorite PTX Christmas songs are: Little Drummer Boy, O' Come All Ye Faithful (not what you would expect), This Is Christmas To Me, and Mary Did You Know.
Totally off subject, but has ANYONE evEr told you that you look a bit like Sigourney Weaver,especially when you smile?
I would also like to suggest their cover of "Shallow". You get to see Kevin's impressive talent as a cellist.
In a way, you've started with THE A Capella group... Voiceplay & Home Free are also great, but PTX is unique. Love your Mitch face, btw. Great reaction!
Hello Molly, welcome to our enthusiastic club :) I was trying to think what to request,, then realized allot of us have been with them from almost day one. Seen them grow up voices mature, (member change).
Avi Kaplan ( basso profundo ) was bass 2011 - 2017.
Matt Sallee was bass from 2017 - present
I say this because i realized that people's requests will probably jump this line, making you feel like a yoyo, with the bass . In advance, I'm sorry. Goes with the job. 😐 Saying that, I would like to request a collaboration,, PTX cover of " Radioactive" featuring Lindsey Sterling
We've got to introduce you to some PMJ (Post Modern Jukebox) too... I'm excited for you - PMJ and PTX are world class and award winning artists... you will fall in love with them both!
Great reaction! I love how you became emotional when Mitch (angel) started singing.
Here’s a quick PTX review-
They won season 3 of the Sing-Off
Members are (in order of appearance):
Scott- tall blonde guy with amazing range tenor to bass. Has a soulful tone
Avi- beard and beanie.tenor to bass, more like ultra bass. Has blown out speakers before. Amicably left the group in 2017 but assisted in finding his replacement (Matt)
Kirsten- Mezzo Soprano, has a beautiful clear tone especially when she belts out the high notes; and she really can.
Mitch (round brim hat) counter tenor- he has a very angelic tone to his voice and can sing in the very high soprano range as well. Your reaction to his solo is a common reaction that is called “being Mitch-slapped”
Kevin-Beat-boxer, body-percussionist, tenor. Also plays the cello. Uber-talented. Will add to background vocals when not beat boxing. In recent videos, he’s starting to sing solo parts.
Matt-joined in 2017. Tenor/bass. Replaced Avi. Very soulful tone to his voice. Perfect replacement for Avi.
Now to get you started down the PENTATONIX rabbit hole:
Amazing Grace (have tissues)
Daft Punk- they won a Grammy for this
The sound of Silence
Royals
I can’t help falling in love
Love me when I don’t
Dreams
Bohemian Rhapsody
Havana
Can you feel the love tonight
PENTATONIX fans ( and they have a lot!) are called Pentaholics. The love reaction videos. They will like and subscribe.
Next time wear headphones. It will be an entirely different experience.
Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed comment! I definitely got "Mitch-slapped"! That's a great way of describing the experience! lol I'm excited to check out more of what they have done - that list sounds like they've covered an impressively wide variety of songs! And I need to get some decent headphones, I think. Mine are not super immersive (earbuds lol)!
@@MollyBeeReacts Ear buds will do! My list is just a small sample of their incredible library. I’ve never heard a bad song from them, so you can’t go wrong! I’ll be subscribing so that I can go on this journey with you.
@@AbbyC543 Okay, excellent! I'll go for them next time. And thank you so much!
@@MollyBeeReacts In "Amazing Grace" you will hear how Mitch sings in lower registers very beautiful. He has a very strong voice that covers 6 octaves + 1 tone.
@@grazynawikert-unger2122 ...plus whistle notes!
Thankyou for starting off with Pentatonix (PTX). You picked the trailblazers of A Cappella in todays world. The rabbit hole is very deep with 150 plus songs and videos. Pentatonix records everything they can reproduce live. However as a A Cappella group, they do have a handful of songs that use instruments to enhance the song so if there is an instrument used, you will see it in the video.
I'm genuinely just so impressed by people who can perform A Cappella. It's amazing what they're able to do with their voices! I look forward to seeing more!
You just got “Mitch” slapped! 😊 I love when someone discovers PTX for the first time. You would love their rendition of “Mary Dud You Know”. I wish you all the best in your reactions journey!
Great reaction 😊 if you like classical, check out their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It will blow your mind.
Their Christmas songs are all amazing, they do some very original arrangements 😊
Yeah Great reaction , that was my reaction when first hearing this..I was in tears .. just STELLAR!!
Wonderful reaction! Please react to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, music with no words done by a group with no instruments.
Everyone gets blown away by Mitch's voice (hat guy) when you first hear him. This song is so powerful & beautiful it brings tears to your eyes. You should listen to their version of Amazing Grace, beautiful! I love watching "Its Me Barry" reactions, he listens to a song twice-the 1st time is straight thru without stopping it then a 2nd time where he will stop it & provide his reviews.
For Christmas, they do an awesome Mary did you know and Hark the Herald Angels sing! And Amazing Grace is magnificent.
Loved your reaction ❤️❤️ thank you so much for sharing it with us ☺️
Thank you for watching and being supportive and kind!
Head phones? Daft punk medley will blow your mind. Ps there is also a live version...
Just watched your PTX Hallelujah reaction video. I thought your reactions and comments were very genuine and honest and I loved it. I just subscribed in the hopes that you will do more PTX reactions. I've read all the comments to this point and see that you have gotten recommendations to do all of their most popular and well known songs so I'll not bother with those. For some lesser known and I feel underappreciated songs, I like "Sing" (an original - about 42 million views) and "Come Along" (a cover by Cosmo Sheldrake - about 10 million views). These are more up tempo and what I refer to as "happy" songs because they always raise my spirits and make me feel good. I highly recommend them and since you said you like Christmas music, my favorite is their version of "O Come All Ye Faithful" and remember it doesn't have to be December to listen to Christmas music. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next PTX reaction.
One of my favorites is That’s Christmas To Me, another original.
Hey Miss Molly, loved the reaction....and you missed half of it. Please, put on some decent to good head phones or ear buds. When listening to a'cappella in general and the elite groups in particular there are so many filler and background noises they're producing you just have no chance at catching the full effect without the hearing aids. Thanks for a great reaction and welcome to the PTX Rabbit Hole.
Hi Molly, I’ve notice some reactors using filters or a “pentatonix font” over their videos, I haven’t heard that they’re having any issues w/blockings….the plus side, most of us have seen the videos and the filter will allow you to watch in full w/out stopping if you wish to watch it that way-tho stopping to say something is okay too! Just go back a smig when you restart the video, like you did:-) the headphones are also a good suggestion for being able to hear everything happening in the fore and background vocals!
Enjoy the ride…they are just as goo live if not better!
If you don’t see any instrument then the didn’t use them-, Kevin the beatboxer plays the cello in a few songs and plays at their concerts. Scott just recently started playing the piano and made an appearance in one song was from their most recent Christmas (song: thank you) and also once in their 2021 original albums-they use them tastefully and it always adds another element to the songs they choose-they have been know to add something like in the 90s Dance Medley, they used did a nod to a voice box and the Cher sound, called the Cher affect, but they only use it to pay tribute to someone or the sound, they never over use anything, they take pride in doing everything themselves! They’re my favorite vocal group! Enjoy the ride!!
You can a review Amazing Grace that's kind of up-to-date to get a couple of new songs after that but that's one that they put out around the end of November 1st of December and it is the most amazing amazing gray she'll ever here and also just FYI you only need to stop twice to the video to fulfill TH-cam's requirement so just to keep that in mind
Kevin the beat boxer is a classically trained cellist. He invented cello boxing ( where he plays his cello and beatboxes).
He also graduated pre med Yale and speaks fluent Mandarin, just in case you didn’t think he was talented enough😄
He is simply a genius. Actually they all are off the charts! Mitch in the hat is out of this world.
Loved your reaction to this amazing group. Thank you for sharing.
We Pentaholics love new reactors - especially when this is their first exposure and they hear Mitch for the first time. He is a high tenor (some call it counter tenor) and the look reactors get is sometimes called being "Mitch slapped". WE LOVE IT. Hope you do more Pentatonix. If you do (they have a catalog from 2011 to present), There has only been one change in the line up. The guy with the beanie and beard - Avi Kaplan, Bass - left in 2018. He was replaced full time by Matt Sallee, Bass, in 2018. Mitch Grasse, High Tenor and Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, Mezzo-soprano, both love to change their looks A LOT. Especially Mitch. So if you think there are more new members, it's just Mitch and Kirstie. The beatboxer is Kevin Olusola. He also plays the cello and sings tenor. He is AMAZING!! The last member is Scott Hoying, Baritone. He will cover the bass part when the bass has the solo line. All of them have HUGE vocal ranges so there are never any holes in the harmonies. That is part of their incredible sound. I believe all of them are also songwriters, so they have a pretty good collection of original music, both as the group and as individuals.
A brief introduction to Pentatonix (aka PTX):
A five member acapella (no instrument) group.
They sing covers of pop songs and have several Christmas albums in their catalog.
They've also put out two albums of original material, one just released February 12, 2021 (The Lucky Ones).
The original five band members were Scott, Kirstin (aka Kirstie), Mitch, Kevin and Avi.
Scott, Kirstin and Mitch knew each other from high school in Texas, USA. They formed the group in 2011, adding Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer).
They auditioned, competed and won season 3 of the television show The Sing-Off.
They've also won multiple awards over the years including three Grammys.
While viewing PTX videos spanning a decade, it may appear that there has been several personel changes due to their ever-changing appearances, Kirstin and Mitch in particular. The fact is; only one member has changed.
Of the five original members, four are still in the group. Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced with Matt.
While performing as an acappella group since they formed, they occasionally introduce instruments such as piano (played by Scott) and cello (played by Kevin). They've also included vocals and instrumentals played by featured guests.
Most of their 'instrumental' sounds however, are created by Kevin, their very talented beatboxer along with baselines performed by Avi, Matt and Scott.
While performing together as a five-member group, they also have individual works worth investigating.
There's so much more information 'Penta-holics' can add to this list. Just ask and they will respond. Enjoy!
Hey Molly... wonderful reaction. Happy that you finally found PTX. You said that you have a really high standard, I think Pentatonix exceeded it, oui? You will never find better a cappella than them. The high tenor (Mitch) caught you off guard a wee bit. As others have mentioned, go with headphones. They will help with the bass a lot. Listen to more PTX please and enjoy. Incidentally, Kevin the beatboxer will impress you with his other talents on this solo video. Check it out.
th-cam.com/video/IGjg193h4Ok/w-d-xo.html
or try their 90's dance medley
th-cam.com/video/57YEAEKKcOk/w-d-xo.html
Thank you Molly 😎
They are truly amazing world class vocalists and all can sing. Mitch face!! it always happens when 1st hearing Mitch. Other songs??? Hundreds!! 3 Grammy's + 5 BILLION views..they are the KINGS of A Capella. I would suggest "Can you fell the Love tonight", then "Bohemian Rhapsody" or for Christmas music start "Mary Did You Know" and their unique spin on "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" these people are treasures. Pentaholics will come to watch and we understand the pausing, it's part of reaction vids. loved your response
Nice and honest reaction! Thx!!
They are impressive indeed
Good news is that they have PLENTY of good songs to discover, and they are able to spice them all up
As suggested below please use good headphones to experience the full hit of their beautiful harmonies and voice quality, specially the bass (the bearded guy, Avi) and the beatboxed (black guy, Kevin)
Welcome to PTX rabbit hole!
Please check their “Imagine” “Can you feel the love tonight” “Amazing Grace” or “Daft Punk” covers
See you in the next one
They do a cover of Sugar Plum Fairy that you will enjoy.
I went on a multi-day deep dive of reactions for this song a while back. This is the first time someone I was already subscribed to did a reaction to it :)
I'd love to see a reaction to their Daft Punk medley
Ohhhh nice!!! I love it when someone I'm subscribed to tries out something I already loved but didn't expect them to react to! And I definitely will do that!
Great reaction. Need headphones. I know others have said it but can’t emphasize enough. Love your Baby Yoda! 😃
Can you feel the love from lion king. Imagine by John Lennon. Just to name a few.
Molly Bee if you plan on more music reactions might I suggest "Post Modern Jukebox" with over 1 billion views PMJ is very popular just a few of their cover songs "Creep", "Dream On", "Maps" , "All About that Bass" and a few hundred more songs
Nice, I'll add them to my list! Thank you for the suggestion!
Molly, you’ve been Mitch slapped! Mitch brings me to tears quite often. Each one in the group including Matt Salle, have professional, resonant clear voices.
HEADPHONES!!! Wear headphones anytime listening to Pentatonix.
You're incredible! Love your reaction video!!!!
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! Also make sure to check out Kevin, the beatboxer's solo stuff. Try his cover of Marian Hill's song Down, it's amazing.
(Also, I have that same gold dragon :-D)
Thank you so much! And yes - dragon lovers unite! lol
When Mitch kicked in with his solo, your face showed the distinct signs of being what we Pentaholics call being "Mitch slapped!" LOL! Once you know all their names you too will be a certified PENTAHOLIC!
Hahaha I definitely felt like I'd been slapped in that moment! What an amazing voice!
I couldn't get past the first few bars of the Jeff Buckley version, but then I heard PTX's version first (even before Leonard Cohan).
Honestly, the Jeff Buckley version is my least favorite, even though I know a TON of people love it. This one is amazing!
They have several Christmas albums. They're amazing along with the regular covers & original works.
Not sure how your videos ended up on my feed, but great first time music reaction !!!!!! I see all your other videos of movies and shows, so I will be checking those out to. Just a little tip as one music reactor to another..... if you wanna pause the song, just hit space bar...and if you wanna go back 5 secs... use the Left arrow key...ahead 5 secs....right arrow key.... hope that helps you a little for the pausing !!!! :) Rock on !!!!
if you like this your next one really should be amazing grace it is even better than this one
What a great music reaction! You just got yourself a follow!
If you are open for suggestion I can highly recommend the Norwegian artist AURORA. A good place to start is "The Seed" official music video.
Thank you so much! And I will add them to the list!
Yes, you have just been Mitch slapped
