Just me Re-wathcing this video because of how amazing it is! Incredible talents!
I have watched this a couple dozen times....😆
Hi - have fun with these. Here is the Behind the Scenes on the Evolution of Beyonce to give you a better idea of how they do it.
Evolution of Beyonce
th-cam.com/video/5yU9wFVzZoE/w-d-xo.html
The beat boxer extraordinaire’s name is Kevin Olusola. He has a channel on TH-cam where he does looping songs (where he beat boxes and plays the Cello). That’s actually how the other members of Pentatonix discovered him. Kevin is a fantastic musician. If you want to see his stuff, I would just search him on TH-cam! One of his better remixes is “Down”.
There are a couple more of KO's covers that I love and they are Sign Of The Times and Friends in which he sings more.
Kevin was also in a trio called Triptyq but they haven't had much activity in a few years. The few songs they have out are all great.
You have to watch them sing Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine and Daft Punk.
YES!
YES!
YES!
-ALSO:
GOLD & ROYALS
At the beginning when you said you thought it might be three or four Michael Jackson songs, I sprayed coffee all over the table laughing. Love your reactions
LOL. I really laughed when you said that it may be 3 or 4 MJ songs! I thought to myself, “You are going to be blown away by the Pentatonix treatment!” 😄😄😄 Now you know (kinda) what to expect when PTX do an Evolution Of, song!
I’ve found, that even if I don’t know the back catalogue of the artist, PTX do it so seamlessly, it feels like one song and no matter HOW great the others are (and they’re Fantastic), Kevin - the singing beatboxer - is just outstanding! Pure unadulterated talent!
You’re becoming a Pentaholic. It doesn’t take long. You’re seeing their raw talent, they’ll be in the UK next year on tour - see if you can get a ticket (their postponed European leg of their 2020 World Tour), London and Manchester. You won’t be disappointed!
I truly enjoyed seeing your amazement! 🤗
Me too! 🤩🤩🤩
You are the perfect illustration of what happens when most people experience Pentatonix (aka PTX). Smiles galore! Their goal is to put joy in their fans' lives. They usually do their "Evolution videos" in 4 complete takes. If they don't like one of them, they do a fifth take, but then they must pick one of them as the best choice.
Ahh! Yes! Their evolutions are phenomenal.
Evolution of Music was what exposed many people to them the first time. it made the rounds on Facebook. and it blew up.
Their Bohemian Rapsody cover is (In my opinion) the pinnacle of their catalog. As though all their hard work went toward finally making this one song.
Their Sound of Silence is also some serious ear candy.
I might have agreed with you before The Prayer. I think PTX is going to keep surprising us with newer and better stuff.
Pentatonix Imagine and White Winter Hymnal are also worth watching.
Yayyy I’m happy you got to this! One of my favorites. I second the request for Kevin Olusola - “Down”. He will blow your mind
Seconded! It's so good!
Wow you're at 20k now... I remember 2k subs and will be here for however high this gets
That’s the Pentatonix treatment I’m sure! We Pentaholics absolutely love to see a new reactors reaction to their babies. It’s quite unusual to see such ‘effortless’ raw talent in music. They’re just infectious, so their fan base is a truly loyal one. 🤗
More pentatonix please. More….. more……. More.
I started watching reactions because of PTX. I found you by just clicking on stuff to watch and like you enough to keep watching. I loved your reaction today, you just smiled the whole time. Keep up the great work and welcome to the rabbit 🐇 hole.
Interesting. I also started watching reaction videos because of PTX. I love watching people go slack jaw in amazement the first time they hear the group.
We always put on some Bing Crosby, classic Christmas music, and Pentatonix in my home during Christmas. You should react to Grinch by Pentatonix. It show cases their newer base singer who is also phenomenal. The one on the bottom left left some tears back to pursue individual endeavors.
Good Reaction Video Bro
Keep them Coming
Have a Amazing Weekend
Thanks! You too!
That could be their motto: "Pentatonix: This is One Take."
It was great watching your reaction to their evolution of MJ video. Every single time I hear them sing I’m amazed at their talent.
I also highly recommend their version of Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Jolene (3rd Grammy win), Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies (2nd Grammy Win) and, of course, their Daft Punk medley (1st Grammy win). No particular order there, just trying to make it make sense grammatically.
You'll get a lot of requests for this or that from them, but you could literally pick any of their videos (including Superfruit) and be blown away by every single one of them. I'm still amazed after years of following them and two concerts later. Enjoy the journey :)
I couldn’t agree more! Chose the songs you like and then go from there!
They also did an Evolution of Music in general too. I think they start in the late 19th century, and do each decade up to present.
They actually start in the 1100s with chanting, then work their way up through time
I believe they begin with Gregorian Chant
It’s rare to find a reactor who hasn’t heard of Pentatonix yet. And it’s so much fun to watch someone fall in love with them for the first time!! Have fun on this journey! It’ll be a good one!
Evolution of beyonce, ariana grande and Rihanna are all fantastic. Their evolution of music is also great
The thing about Pentatonix is their transitions are so smooth. A lot of work goes into picking the songs that transition into other songs perfectly and then doing it smoothly. Amazing.
Oh my god, the joy on your face is awesome, that's why we Pentaholics love watching these reaction videos so much! Please do more PTX, maybe Imagine and Mad world? Great job!
As others have said, the beatboxer is Kevin. You heard him sing a bit in the purely choral moments in "Hallelujah," but as soon as the beat starts, that's where he's needed, and he's phenomenal at it of course.
You have Mitch identified correctly. Now you can try for the others: The blond baritone is Scott. The woman is Kirstin (remember, I before R). The bearded bass singer is Avi (ah-vee). He left the group about 4 years ago (the only change of personnel they've had), and in more recent videos you'll see Matt, a different voice and personality but equally effective.
Watching a reactors facial expressions shows how much they really enjoy the video they are reacting to and yours were quite expressive haha. Great job Beesley!
You are incredibly entertaining just watching you react to this. Even doing a lil chair dancing there! Love your enthusiasm!!
In 2016 the studio where they record these Evolutions verified that to that point they were one take and said that they couldn't recall any of them taking more than four tries (with two generally being them wanting to try different inflections/phrasing/etc.) It's possible post-2016 Evolutions are different, but for Music, Michael Jackson and Beyoncé that's the rule.
You should also check out their renditions of Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody 🔥
React to their Daft Punk medley next.
Also the beat Boxer name is Kevin. And yes he can sing but he rarely sings because he has an important job of doing the beat boxing lol. You should react to his Cellobox video where he showcases his talent. th-cam.com/video/IGjg193h4Ok/w-d-xo.html is the link
Oh my gosh, your happiness over this made me so happy! Great reaction!
I LOVE when new people discover the best group on the planet. Enjoy
Anything you pick old PTX, new PTX, solo PTX, duet or trio PTX. Anything that has the touch of a PTX member in it (including both Matt and Avi) is pure Gold. So much talent from one small group of people. 😎
Greatness! Have a fabulous weekend! Yes, evolutions are going from an artists first songs through their most current works.
Evolutions of Music, Rhianna, Beyonce. Scott and Mitch did several on their Superfruit channel; L. Gaga and Milly Cyrus. They also did medleys of songs from the albums, Taylor Swift's 1969 and Beyonce's 2013 album Beyonce. Also a medley of songs from the TV show Empire. I never watched the show, but man, they certainly had good music.
Your big smile says it all 😊 you have found a goldmine of amazing music. These guys are the best also in their solo stuff.
Recommend their 90s Dance Medley.
Check out the live performance of Evolution of Michael Jackson from their PopSpring concert. The transitions are flawless. Now that you've started your Pentatonix journey, you'll find that they always amaze. I love seeing reactions from new Pentaholics.
I counted 18 songs, but I get caught up in the music, and they are soooo GOOD I may be mistaken....! Incredable!
My gosh, I didn’t realize how many hit music Michael Jackson has…Michael Jackson is a legend…❤️❤️❤️
they actually do this live on stage many times. So yes they can do that one take and nail it immediately everytime.
At this point in their career they were getting together a minimum of 8 hours a day to practice. They lived near each other and worked constantly to perfect each song. They have been working nonstop except for a little time off during the pandemic for over 10 years and they still produced an album even with the break just no live concerts.
they are medley's of a singer's songs from the beginning of their career forward. The exception is the evo of music.
They are so good. I've been checking them out the last few months. They do switch out some of the group. Shockingly no matter who they have sing, still great.
They have one video that they had foreigners that did not know all the sound were just done with there voices. It's good also.
3 or 4 songs. Hehe
You're going to turn 30 before you even come close to completing their catalog of covers and evolution lol. I'm 6 years into my PTX journey and I still haven't heard a single thing they've put together that I didn't like.
if you want to see them do this live react to POPSPRING 2016
I’m glad you’re reacting to Pentatonix! I hope you continue reacting to Home Free as well
Amazing reaction! You should watch their cover of Gold next (it would be cool if you compare it to the original to see how well they did it with just their voices), Then I would recommend listening to their live Hallelujah Christmas special video (It is their live performance and since you already heard their studio version, you will be blown away how good they are live). Some others that I would recommend are: Imagine, Amazing Grace, Daft punk medley, New Rules x You got somebody, Marry did you know, Sound of Silence, Little Drummer Boy.... Just pick any song and you won't be disappointed!
The people at Endless Noise (which is the recording studio where they have recorded the various Evolution videos) said that they have it down to 2 or 3 takes once they sit down to actually do it, and that often these days the second or third is just to see if they can do it a little better.
There is clearly a lot of planning and arranging that goes in beforehand though!
I'm pretty sure I've heard either Scott or Ben Bram (the guy who arranges their stuff with them) say in an interview that they kind of completely finalise it all on the day just before they record, as it is all so complex and it needs for it to be fresh in their minds for them all to hit their parts correctly. So it is all planned out but then on the day they rehearse, rehearse, tweak, rehearse, tweak, and then just sit down and do it.
There are so many songs you should react to - especially Sound of Silence.
Thanks for the reaction. They sang the Evolution Of... live on tours throughout the years. There is a great, clear video of them performing this one at a Popspring concert. "Evolution of Rihanna" is my favorite but there are others.
Pentatonix don't do covers. They do UPGRADES!
That's so great. You look gobsmacked! That's the effect PTX has on most people. They have performed this medley live on stage. Kevin on beat boxing is incredible. Ari on bass left the group and has been replaced by Matt. Mitch, Scott and Kirstin have been together since high school. Check out their 90's Medley if you want to be blown away some more!!!
Thanks for your reaction--loved how you enjoyed it!
you should check out the beatboxer, Kevin Olusola's solo stuff, his KOvers of songs where he sings, plays multiple instruments and beatboxes while using looping to mix them all together in one take will blow your mind
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ words in a comment cannot do justice to their talent
They do this live on stage ...... so yes one take
I LOVE your reactions to this!! You simply MUST (if you haven't already) watch the Sound of Silence Video they did!
They are famous for 3 takes. The one they use, and 2 where they go, what if I did this here? 3 or 4 songs, I started laughing. Evolution of means they are in order of what the artist did them. Gotta do Making Christmas before halloween. Lets see, I like Grinch as a fun song, and Little drummer boy. (Sorry, no drummer, not sorry.) 😁😁😎
Also (and sorry for double commenting!) I just noticed the gaming wall decal behind you. Others may have suggested it already, but you might like to check out VoicePlay’s recent cover of the Halo theme tune. VoicePlay is acapella as well; many consider Pentatonix, Home Free and VoicePlay to be the “big three” of vocal bands. They’re amazing. Even if you’re not interested, I’m here for whatever you choose - you’re a really enjoyable reactor!
They did this live in concert the year they made this!. It was amazing. You should check out Image and Can't Hold Us...gives 2 different sides of them. They can do any music.
woooow!
Great reaction!!! Thanks!
I definitely think that was more that 4 songs. I may have miscounted but I think they got to 6. I do believe the evolution vids are done in one take and there’s a live performance (audience and all) of this one to prove it. What can I say about Kevin? There’s a lot more to him than you may guess and he will continue to surprise him as you get to know him better. Definitely more strings to his bow (literally). Props to all of them too: a multitalented group of musical geniuses who have given me so much in the last few years. Thanks for posting.
I love your facial reactions.
Most creative Pentatonix is Wizard of Ahhhhs.
Kevin Oslo beatboxes, sings and plays cello. you should see his videos where he is beatboxing while playing cello.
It's way more than 4 songs. It's 17. They do the entire thing 3 times and pick the best one. 😊
I love Pentatonix and Home Free and I also love Voctave. They are an 11 piece group that has an amazing arranger. I would like you to check out their video of This is my wish/ Let there be peace on earth. Also their Disney princess medley.
There's also Evolution of Rhianna and Evolution of Arianna Grande, and then if you get into Mitch and Scott's Superfruit channel they have some Evolutions on there that are pretty awesome!
Mitch and the beet boxer are my favorites
The Evolutions are all 12-20 songs (although this one has around 25 songs) medley from the beginning to current from the artist! Btw, this is just as good live!
Loved your enthusiasm! PTX are known for their medleys and mashups. They are superb as arrangers, with the help of near-invisible "sixth member" Ben Bram, the arranger who has worked with them from the beginning. The group often puts together a rough arrangement on their own, with all of them contributing, and sends it off to Ben for polishing. Yes, Kevin can sing, but when he sings, there's no beat! (You saw how the rest of the group snapped their fingers here to make up for that.). You can see them do this live if you check out their Popspring 2016 concert set - 3 original songs and this, which is the third song in the set. It's a great little view into what their concerts are like. ETA: link to a compiled bunch of clips showing them arranging and recording. You get to see Ben Bram several times - he's the small man with the beard and glasses: th-cam.com/video/XbxPnbC9vnk/w-d-xo.html. (Bonus Kirstin in plaits and no makeup at one point - she looks about 13. So cute!)
I'm a Pentaholic, "evolution of" means early works to the most recent.
Beesley, re. Christmas songs, there's one they do which you may have already seen--Mary, did you know? If not, please check it out. It's beautiful!!!
I'm so glad I found you as I truly enjoy your reviews so much. Now that you are a TRUE Pentaholic, you need to review their performance of Imagine, the famous John Lennon classic from about 50 years ago. One of their absolute best ever.Talk about blowing your mind, that one REALLY will.
Great reaction! Keep doing more PTX please!
Since you're enjoying this genre so much I have to mention the third of the Holy Trinity of a Capella music....Voice Play. They're another immensely talented group of vocalists that do some of the coolest and most theatrical covers/videos out there. My top recommendations are "Little Mermaid Medley", "Oogie Boogie's Song", "Hoist the Colors", and "We're Good."
But always remember - PTX were the ones who lead acapella into the popular field. The others followed.
I just want to point out that it's not only the black guy doing beat boxing. The white dude on the left is also doing really intricate boxing as well. They can both sing as well. They wouldn't be in this group unless they could both sing as well.
Can recommend Making Christmas for a theatrical pre Christmas song with shades of the Nightmare before Christmas... very entertaining. PTX do amazing Christmas songs, they take tired old classics and rejuvenate them. 12 Days of Christmas is fun, also My Favourite Things.... so many songs to listen to! And of course, their incredible original catalogue of songs - you are in for a treat!
Three or Four songs lmao if you said that to Pentatonix they’d simply say hold my beer lol.
It's weird that people would say you were Mitch-slapped in the Hallelujah-Video, as you are one of the few reactors who didn't react surprised by his voice, just generally pleased at all their beautiful voices. But I guess these viewers say that to every reactor who does Hallelujah - the eye sees what the mind expects.
wow I've seen this a few times but this is the clearest I've ever heard the Annie are you ok I mean WOW
It doesn’t make noise. He makes music.
Listen to bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Sound of Silence, Havana, Mary Did you know, Amazing Grace, Daft Punk.
... expecting three to four songs 🤣
hold on to your hat 🙌🏻
has anyone mentioned SUPERFRUIT which is Scott and Mitch? check out Guy.Exe, Bad 4 Us, Rise
It both is and isn't one take. They'll practice, then film, and even for simple performance videos they'll likely do multiple takes. For that type of video, they won't edit anything together, but they'll choose the best of the takes to use.
Mind you they tour and do live performances too, so there's certainly no doubt they can do it in one true take. But using the best single performance, unedited, is still smart (and expected).
3 or 4 songs...just wait.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love TH-cam algorithms! Full on Pentaholic now. Stumbled upon them accidentally and never looked back 🏴👍
I counted 26 songs in this one but I think you'd have to talk to someone in the group for an official count.
Evolution of Ariane Grande is my favorite. It's the newest Evolution song.
If y'all have responded to Sound of Silence I can't find it 🤷♀️, would really like to see Millie's reaction 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Their evolution of . . . Starts with the artist's early works & goes up to most recent. In their 'Evolution of Music', I think it starts with a 12th century Gregorian chant? Then it moves up to more recent times. Not sure about the Michael Jackson one. 4:22 This one is a one-take. No one is out of position after the edit on the video is made. So there is no editing on this one. Kevin is the beat boxer. His drum sets are always so good. 6:54 Kevin has an excellent tenor voice. Do any & all of PTX you want. Their 90's Dance Medley has no copyright blocking. Do the Evolution songs. Start with their earliest works like 'Sing'. Or just do the ones with the most views.
You must do Kevin's cover of Down!!
I might be wrong but I reckon I counted 27 different MJ songs in that Evolution 🤩🤩🤩🤩 I ran out of fingers.
It's a one take video as you mentioned. I read that this one was their fourth try.
Subbed! Welcome to the rabbit hole! Pick any song off their channel, you cannot go wrong. Also check out their Sing-Off performances.
Everything they do is amazing you should check out imagine and shallow and the Christmas videos
If you think that's amazing you have to see the daft punk medley and you haven't seen Pentatonix until you've seen Bohemian Rhapsody
