Matt was perfect for this song. And I love the theatrics they did, with their facial expressions. Just an overall fun song. Scott did awesome as always carrying the base line. Kevin with his beats, then Kirsty and Mitch.
Super breakdown! There is a behind the scenes video of this in a PTXperience vlog I believe where Matt tells us “there comes a time in every bassists life when he has to learn lyrics, and I am NOT ready!” So funny! His laugh is contagious & his smile is full of joy!
Scott, Kirstie and Mitch all were in musical theater in high school and Matt also took part in musical plays in high school so that definitely makes it a perfect opportunity to add great facial expressions to many vids 😁
Matt started musical theater early too. He had his first lead in a musical at 9 years old. Ironically, Kirstie and Mitch were in the same play in Texas. Small world.
PTX is simulating a jazz “big band”. Listen to the background syncopated “horn section”! They do that run in harmony up to a “trumpet Scream” by Kirstie and Mitch!
If you want to see Matt's upper range, look for a live version of Hallelujah when PTX are on tour. In his solo verse, near the end he goes full falsetto.
Great reaction! Scott carries the bass throughout the song, his range is just insane. Matt Sallee (the stress is on the last syllable) is sooo good in their 'Evolution of Rihanna' video (done in 1 take live), and in their original song 'Never Gonna Cry Again'. Thank you!
Creatively genius!! Absolutely enjoyable!! Oh, I think Matt's last name is pronounced SaLEE (emphasis on Lee). 😉 Mitch's "uck" is the funniest thing in the video to me! Lol! Love a of your reactions!!
What a great job, Pentatonix did with this arrangement! I am always glad, when they allow Kevin or Matt, a solo part! It allows us their fans a chance to see more of their talent!
I love the whole video, all of their singing & acting! But Mitch's "yuck" & the face he makes with it makes me 🤣 every time! It's those little touches that show they really put as much thought & effort into the fun songs as they do the others.
I really do love all the vocal versions of this song. Pentatonix has the lock on smooth, jazzy version. I love Matt’s seamless smooth sound.. And the richness of the backgrounds. Thanks for your reaction. Since you mentioned the other groups, VoicePlay has a more theatrical version of Mr Grinch. And as for Tim’s range, I think you need to watch Mayday cover by Home Free. If you know, you know.
"They're never gonna stop-I guarantee it." Haha, you're right. Christmas music is their bread and butter-it's how they are going to put their kids through college and fund their retirements!! Thank goodness they do such a stellar job of it! Enjoyed your insights as always.
Matt did Falsetto in "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" from their 2021 Christmas album... It was not high, but quite unique to have him sing that part, instead of the others who could easily do that with chest voice...
Good reaction! You might also want to check out VoicePlay’s version of this song from last year. Being them, they had a lot of fun with makeup and costuming. And the vocals are solid and fun.
I absolutely loved this version, and thought it was the best version of this song ever... until I discovered VoicePlay's version, which is, believe it or not, quite a bit better. I keep both of them in my December playlist.
Matt did a very good job but.. he's not even close to Avi. It used to be a marvel that all the PTX members were so equally excellent. "No weak spots". Well well we've come a long way from those days. Matt has little dimensionality or resonance in his timbre. It's like milk chocolate with no orange or raspberry or anything else. His voice never booms it just drones on and on. ..
I’m not even sure what to say to this - you have your opinion, but I couldn’t disagree with you more. Matt has a gorgeous voice, rich and full. He’s not Avi (the guy who left) he is his own joyous, wonderful person that add a new dimension to the group.
Is it REALLY necessary to bring up Avi after FOUR YEARS?? That is so insulting to Matt’s talent, but it’s also an insult to Scott, Mitch, Kevin, Kirstie and Ben Bram. Why? Because THEY chose Matt from many who auditioned. Would you rather have the group break up because one member didn’t want to be in the group anymore? Make sure you ask AC/DC, Genesis, Journey, Van Halen and more-who did replace a singer in their lineup-and continued with the musical trek. Seriously, KNOCK IT OFF. If you don’t like Matt, then go away. Listen to Avi’s solo material. And stop. Your insults are NOT WELCOME. PERIOD.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 I'm a music critic. Would that more would criticize more and fawn less. We'd have better music for everyone if that were the case. I criticize Matt to teach the listeners what I know and to challenge people to engage in adult conversations about what makes good music good music. I'm usually attacked as mean for my efforts. By children, obviously. ..
@@MrDavePed anyone can say they are a music critic. What are your credentials? Where are you published? As a graduate of Berklee and Julliard I know something about music. Matt's voice is different than Avi's but no less excellent; smooth and buttery and not like a drone. What have I done in the music world? I sang for Evensong in St. Peter's Basilica and at a private audience with Pope John Paul II. You are welcome to have your opinion but I don't agree at all.
@@cherylhowe1541 My credentials are the truth recognized. There are no other credentials worth any salt. "Different but no less excellent" was not learned at julliard. That was learned in your k-12. You argue as an indoctrinated child. ..
I also really love the little Mitch touches in this, it just added that little extra to it. If you like Mitch's creativity & theatrics...then you'll definitely find Superfruit's (Scott & Mitch's channel) guy.exe entertaining (if you haven't already seen it). The song is great, but the video is what makes it.

Yes! The facial expressions really brought something powerful to this music video.
If you wanna see theatrics, you have GOT to check out VoicePlay's version.

As a musical theatre person, I highly concur! They all did a marvelous job getting into character 😁
PTX is simulating a jazz “big band”. Listen to the background syncopated “horn section”! They do that run in harmony up to a “trumpet
Scream” by Kirstie and Mitch!
Yes this was a real Swing number, the style is so upbeat and it takes the theatricality of the performance to a new level.
If you want to see Matt's upper range, look for a live version of Hallelujah when PTX are on tour. In his solo verse, near the end he goes full falsetto.

EPIC. Matt is amazing.

It was really fun to watch all of them 😂 In regards to Matt's last name... noted 😉

And it's also those attributes that show how much they enjoy what they do too!
They are so fun and creative. Matt is so good and he’s such a joyous spirit
Agreed! He was really fun to watch in this video

Thanks Susan! People get introduced to PTX from their Christmas music most of the time.
Matt was PERFECT for the lead but SCOTT SLAYED THE BASS!!! 👏👏👏
I love how Scott took over all the bass singing while Matt sang lead.
Haha right?! There's a change!
Matt did Falsetto in "It Came Upon The Midnight Clear" from their 2021 Christmas album...
It was not high, but quite unique to have him sing that part, instead of the others who could easily do that with chest voice...
Matt went quite high in “When You Wish Upon A Star” as well.
Good reaction!

This was a fun video. I’m so glad Matt got the spotlight. Thanks for the reaction
He deserved it! Thanks for watching 😁
I enjoyed your reaction to this fun Pentatonix video. Matt was the perfect lead for this. This is on my playlist that I play year round.
I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction! It was a very fun music video to watch!
Matt is growing in me. He is turning to be quite a surprise.
Right?? He serves his own unique performance to Pentatonix.
"Making Christmas", from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Personality!
Haha yessir!
I'm late to the party but my fav is Matt......just has so many special gifts!!!
He brings a very special gift!
Wonderful reaction. Thank you! Matt really shines here.
Glad you enjoyed it 😁 Yes! His voice skyrockets!
Check out Voiceplay's Mr. Grinch
This is one my favorites with Matt.
He's incredible in this one! Plus, it really shows his range as a singer and soloist.
Breathe Matt Breathe
😂😂😂
Saw this done live the other night... it was SO good ! The Grinch himself was even there 😁
Haha right?! The actual grinch was the mastermind behind all of this.
On Friday 3rd they are releasing new video for "Over The River" featuring Lindsey Stirling
Pentatonix you’re a mean one Mr. Grinch is a cool song
It's a very cool song!
Great reaction. Thanks for the fun!
Thanks for joining the fun 😁
Watch live performance of Hallelujah from Evergreen Christmas. He goes WAY up falsetto!
I absolutely loved this version, and thought it was the best version of this song ever... until I discovered VoicePlay's version, which is, believe it or not, quite a bit better. I keep both of them in my December playlist.
Love this arrangement and all the facial expressions. For an upper range Tim song check out Home Free cover of Mayday. Great reaction and analysis. 🥰
Thanks Mandy! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Home Free ..... check out Mayday
Will put it on the list 😁
🥰🥰
😁😁
where is every one? Love this
What do you mean?? Happy you enjoyed it!!
