It still blows my mind when I hear Kevin beatbox in French! 😂
😂😂😂
Book Enthusiast r/wooosh
😂😂😂😂
I only know how to beatbox in sign language
LMAOO
The sims are getting more and more creepy with each new expansion xD
Nua!
😂😂🤣🤣
Q
Um, not sure if you knew, these are not sims. They are the real people, just covered with makeup. I know, I thought it was animated too at first 😂😂
There supposed to be dolls
This song's meaning is "where are you papa?" For anyone who does not understand this, the boy is feeling neglected by his father so he finds comfort in his imagination and he plays by himself--his toys (the band). This song was initially by Stromae whose father died in a genocide when he was a boy. (rather than neglecting him). For those who don't know him, you should check him out his rendition of this song is also fantastic. I'm a big fan of both Stromae and Pentatonix!!
Dude...his video always gut punch me in the feels
Yep, Stromae's dad died with the many others during the Rwandan Genocide in the 1990s
From what I heard, his father wasn't really there for him even before the genocide. And the second verse is basically him wondering how good of a father he will be with only his own absentee father as an example.
yup, same.
stromae's own father actually died during the 1994 rwandan genocide
As a french person, i think that this one of the best prononciation of this language by a person that speak english (don't know if it is understandable 😅)
it is, and you are right, french is my second language and they have a better accent as I do ^^
Im french and i completly agree. And the fact that they sing it so well is impressive. Accents come out more when you sing, so i respect them a lot for that
I lived in France (paris) over a year and also listen to a lot of French music including some by English speakers and I aggree. I have a good ear for languages and accents
Clara, I'm not French. Can you please answer this. In the original, he pronounced "Ca doit" as "Sa "dhu" wa" like he enunciated the dhu part. But in every cover, including this one, they pronounced "Ca doit" like "saadhwa"
Which one is correct? Please clarify.
@@kylemarcotte1685 I'm not French. Can you please answer this. In the original, he pronounced "Ca doit" as "Sa "dhu" wa" like he enunciated the dhu part. But in every cover, including this one, they pronounced "Ca doit" like "saadhwa"
Which one is correct? Please clarify.
Scott: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!
Kevin: Alright, alright Scott, we'll do your French song, just this once.
@zizou2133 im pretty sure that's French
Jenny language is French but song is from Belgium
@@_gaszy_8925 ohh okay
@zizou2133 ok?
XDDD
"Fine Scott. We'll do your french song. Just this once."
I think that the title of this video should be changed to this comment
Haha
Grace Harlan Best title ever!
+Grace Harlan Oh man yes :p
+Dylan Johnson :l its french but hes from Belgium :3
Me: Struggling to walk normally on a daily basis
Lindsey: Let me play this fiddle perfectly while dancing ballet!
The fiddle playing may not have actually been perfect, the audio was almost certain recorded in a studio before the music video visuals were recorded, so they're dubbing over themselves and the notes while dancing don't have to be good.
@@OrigamiMarie I have been to her live concert, she does do a few small mistakes but that's to be expected when she is dancing so much. But she is quite good.
For reference, I have completed grade 10 ARCT (Royal Conservatory of music)
They're miming in the video
@@alexdelarge5373 I am aware that the audio is studio quality, but Lindsey does a lot of dancing and such at her concerts too and it's crazy to me
ikr, lol.
Lindsey Sterling is the definition of when your parents forced you to take violin lessons but you wanted to be a dancer
actually she wanted to do both but they could only afford one or the other and she picked violin :) love that she now gets to combine both
@@kerriskb19 ohh I didn't know.. Thanks!
I would say she is the best combination of both.
lol. :') (that's kinda sad tho.)
And some no talent hack judge said she had no talent, HA
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW KEVIN IS CASUALLY KILLIN IT ON THE CELLO?! WHO KNEW! That man has infinite talents I swear to god
The Trio first discovered Kevin on a TH-cam video playing the cello while beat boxing
!!! the more you know
He's so talented, great singing voice too. I'm digging Kevin's funky beard, it looks good on him he could pull that off IRL
+Corey Holt he can rap too
cheat stars
Scott looks so interesting as a doll... I think it's the eyebrows
Julz Zedbra Nah, I reckon it's just the hair in general
It's the skin and the hair I think.
Julz Zedbra And Avi looks like Keanu Reeves.
Julz Zedbra, I think it's also the fact that he's opening his eyes pretty wide to get the "doll look". He usually has more expressions when he sings (and yes! that affects his eyebrows too, haha) - especially when he starts belting or getting into the higher registers.
Julz Zedbra its the eyebrows with the lips together
It's crazy to think how Avi's bass voice is shaking my car when I blast this during my ride LMAO
Love your profile pic. I love Suki!!
@@hadiac1043 I LOVE YOUR MOMO PFP
@@yanaomda thanks!
You're both wholesome for having avatar pics
5 years. It took me 5 years to realise how much Avi looks like Keanu Reeves.
Maybe coz u don't know him yet??
I actually thought it was him for a while
Same
OH MY GOD HOW DIDN’T I NOTICE
Dude, same!
OH MY GOD PENTATONIX AND STROMAE,, HOLD MY BEER
TH-cam how dare you recommend this to me four years late >:(
Same
Seems like this recommendation coming out of nowhere have reach lots of people
ik I've never seen before
Feel yah bruh
0mnicorn sumadance
~fiercely wishing their was a behind the scenes~
Tionah Johns That would be perfect
....
+Tionah Johns yep
yes
+Tionah Johns true yeah that's something I always wish to see more from youtubers in general
Can we talk about Avi sustaining his bass note from 1:55 - 2:10, 15 straight seconds without a break🤯. That's one hell of breath control!!🔥🔥 Avi is something else🔥
scott's facial expressions are just golden
this cover still rocks even after 7 years passed
Scott singing in French is the sexiest thing on earth to this day omg
rana hakeem But the accent it's not that xD Parce que bon... on va pas se cacher que l'accent est pas terrible xD
EvilSociety F bah franchement je trouve qu'il se débrouille vachement bien car en général leur accent est plus prononcé
EvilSociety F un accent de texan quoi
Frfr doe
I was looking for this comment
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how fucking gorgeous KIrstin looks in this my god
FernyPopVlogs OMG That profile pic! You have great taste, person I don't know
FernyPopVlogs She looks gorgeous in every single video ^^
+FernyPopVlogs I agree with that other guy, she's JUST gorgeous xD
+FernyPopVlogs he looks like a puppet like stromae in the original song
+Lola Gamez Yesssss Avi always blows my mind lol
Still remember the day, when Stromae himself love this cover & posted on his Twitter. This version is totally amazing with Lindsey! Love her, too
2020 anyone? Cause this just popped up in my recommended again and I don’t mind 😂
Edit: it’s 2023 and we’re back!! Thx for 2k lol
Heyy
Maestá Anonima ✌🏼
YAS!
Yasss but l❤ve PTX . Apr 2020 #lockdownlife #iso

Who else thought the beginning was an ad and checked the side for skip ad

WonkaWizard34 me , no seriously
WonkaWizard34 me!!!
"Child imagines his toys singing and dancing as an escape because they'll never neglect him like his dad does but the pain of never getting affection from his father creeps in to his imagination and his toys start singing about how much the child wishes his dad loved him."
*cough cough* uhh I mean "[Official Video] Papaoutai - Pentatonix ft. Lindsey Stirling (Stromae Cover)". My bad.
Jack Frost amazing analysis!!! thank you very much. upon seeing your comment, the video kinda makes sense and tbh, I don't have a dad as it is, so I would relate to the kid way more than I'd like to. either way, thanks.
@@tayayub8453 No problem! I kind of forgot that I made that comment tbh. But yeah, that's how I saw the video.
Jack Frost oh right..., well that's good to know and dw about it, it's not impossible to forget!
@@tayayub8453 :D
Dude that is so deep.
If you listen carefully, you can hear Scott making a uueh sort of noise after he sings “papaoutai.”
i can’t unhear it now 😭
It's the way he breaths in after singing for 10 seconds
I thought i was the only one hearing it!
@@Sage3356 same, lol :)
8 years on and I will forever be grateful to Pentatonix for introducing me to Stromae ❤️
There are two types of people: people who find Scott singing in french very attractive, and liars
Liam Benson and lesbians
And people who find the doll make-up creepy.
... Or people who know the original and find this dodgy
I'm a liar
Gotta admit I was very excited when I searched for papoutai and a pentatonix result popped up but the result is very disappointing. Scott doesn't do a bad job but I just find this cover doesn't add anything different or special. Just a lesser version of the original imo.
I don't why but I find this song so catchy
+Kaylah May same tho! hahaa
+Kaylah May lol same asf
I'm pretty sure my replay button has had enough of this song lol
ikr!!!
+ari smith I replayed at least six times
Hey ! I am french and this song is one of the most famous hits of France, I love this version (with an accent !)
Actually they are speaking well very french, Bravo !
I thought Stromae is Belgian? or you mean the song is popular in France?
@@Azlite74 Stromae is a belgian citizen indeed...
@@Azlite74 I think he meant it was a huge hit in France. We all know he’s Belgian.
@@Azlite74 So a belgian artist can't be popular in france ?
@@Quentin_L that's not what Azlite meant, Azlite thought Louise didn't know the song was from a belgian artist
Even after all these years this is an impressive performance. Seeing the group do this and sign a song in French phonetically without actually knowing the language is just wow. The level of accuracy on pronunciation is incredible and the moments where it's not as accurate just give a "Inner child speaking through the adult voice" feel to it, which matches the "missing father" message of the song.
I find it amazing that they learned a whole french song even though they are anglophone!
What is an anglophone? XD
Simon Mendoza anglophone is a french word. An anglophone is someone who speaks english
FruityNugget Oh ok thanks
FruityNugget You learn something new every day, I guess...
Yeah, it's weird that americans can learn a whole foreign song. Usually they puke at the thought of anything outside the borders of the USA.
French people, excuse my French but stop being so fucking French and stop judging their French. This is amazing.
We're not all criticizing their accent. I just posted a comment saying their (well his) accent is pretty good!
But reading the comments, i've seen way more frenchies saying they did a really good cover/job than criticizing their french..
the french are very judgemental people...... i think its from the lack of carbs
Vive la France!!! XD
treyvorable Whaat? What's wrong with you dude? You're actually the one judging right now.. What are your arguments for saying that?
If only you too the time to read some of the comments, all the Frenchies are saying they did a really good job and that his accent is pretty good..
i scrolled down to see what the "french" say about that video, but didnt find any badmouthing ! how far did you scroll xD (et s'fou vu ton profil j'ai légèrement l'impression que tu es fr~ bravo la troll)
Credit to whoever did the makeup and effects for this video! They really look like plastic dolls come to life! Really hitting that Uncanny Valley effect well!
I mentioned this elsewhere, but this is in intentional homage to the official video of Papaoutai.
I speak French and I can say that's wonderful how they have good pronunciation while singing in a language that's not theirs.
Fait pas l’hypocrite
Cet accent français est tout simplement adorable, j'imagine comment les anglais doivent se moquer de nous avec notre accent déplorable en anglais :( Pas juste.
d'accord avec toi, perso je trouve leur français très bon :o
en comparaison notre accent anglais est pourri xD
Parfaitement d'accord ;)
Maestro tu sais qu'ils ont du prendre des cours de français pour bien prononcer les paroles de la chanson
ozichi E. je me doute bien, mais l'effort fais et le résultat est pas mal je trouve
Personnellement, j'adore les accents français . Votre langue est belle , et votre anglais est tout aussi douce consonance .
Anyone else try to skip the ad before realising it was the beginning of the video?
I did😂😂
lol, I was like wtf why does my trusty adblock not work? (on my desktop pc it has blocked 99,999% of all ads for a decade so i am not used to seeing ads , except on mobile)
@@Blackadder75 r/nobodyasked
Yep, then they started singing in French, and I was like MY PHONE IS BROKEN!
Michael Reilly same
I'm still here in 2020 and I just realized that Scott is the only male with no facial hair
he has
Je suis française et leur accent est trop mignon !!🥰
mignon? t'es sûre?
@@thomasscraire6380 En vrai oui j’aime trop 😅
ok, comme tu veux haha
Il chante en francais avec un accent anglais, c’est oufff! Avoir une voix comme telle, ca doit etre trop bien
00:35
Let's talk about how Avi looks like Keanu Reeves
Yeah, equally intense look
Your breathtaking
@@alexuniversecos154 No you're breathtaking!
@@loleia777 no, you're breathtaking
No, you're ALL breathtaking!
As a french girl, I have to say their accent is very sweet.
I totally agree
Misao Misao its ok man i just found this now
I heard that they brought in French teachers to help with the song and their accents. Guess it paid off big time.
I'm German and I'm jealous because I did skip french classes after it became optional
Not saying that french is bad but you did the right thing :P
After years of listening to this song, I think I finally realised what creeps me out so much about it. It's the fact that they DON'T BLINK.
Je suis Francaise et je trouve que Scott Hoying parle vraiment bien francais il a un bon accent et leur intèrprétation est super🌺☺ Je les adore continuez comme ça
On est bien d'accord !
@@lazuly_2496 Idem du Québec!!! 👍👍
Kevin's facial hair is like something out of the Hunger Games.
Dealwitit Maybe Kevin's secretly from the capital?
Barbara Spezia Possibly.
YES!
oh my actual god I never noticed lol
+Barbara Spezia lol
Why are they so good at *everything*
Your average girly gamer TM I don't know maybe coz they are
Your average girly gamer except for the gangnam style cover '•-•'
And their french.
Well, Scott is pretty bad at acting as if he is straight.
Your average girly gamer , becouse they are pentatonix
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Avi: Keanu Reeves
Jaja jajajaja si
Ok do they know french or did they just memorize the words which they do not know to the meaning of if they do speak french i am *_S H O O K_*
With how worldwide they are, I wouldn't be surprised if they knew at least a little bit of French
they said they didn't really know, they just memorized and then perfected the accent with the help of a real French speaker
They don't know french, they just learnt the words
@@thranduilssugarbaby7325 They didn't perfect the accent either :P
They learned a bit of french for make a cover of this song
Anyone else notice pentatonix in pitch perfect two?!!?!?
They were the Canadian team, and I freaked out in the middle of the cinema XD
I notice it too I went insanely crazy yelling like crazy there was no people watching it acepted me
Ayala David Same just watched it and my sister didn't know who the band was but I did XD
Georgina Smith Same here i waslike OMG OMG OMG and the person next to me looked at me so wierdly.... xD
No duh they were in pitch perf. 3
Why tf didnt they win
I just realized
Scott has eyebrows
Siti Aminah Holy heck you’re right!!!
THAT’S IT. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF BUT I COULDNT TELL WHAT IT WAS
Yeah he look creepy, we prefer the Scott eyebrowsless
that’s why he looks so weird!
not the doll look, it’s because he has eyebrows
Actually I'm not a French man
But this song tells how fathers must be responsible and good enough for their own children
Awesome
Tres Bien
Actually, it was writtend and performed after Stromae's dad passing
@@lucasecoffet9683 Stromae's dad died because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time (the Rawandan genocide), this song was written for Racine Carree regarding Stromae lingering issues of self-confidence on whether or not he'd be a good father since his own father wasn't even really in his life before his death took him out of Stromae's life permanently.
@@ThisGuyHasName I already know that, but it is always good to get a little reminder
I love it when they invite Lindsey in on one of their projects, it's a party!! Lindsey does a lot of terrific collaborations.
LES FRANCOPHONES SONT DANS LA PLACE ! ON PESE LES GARS ! :DD

Lets just admire
1.They all dance
2. They all look creepy
3. Its in French
4.They played violín and cello
Edit : thanks for the likes
Cello*
Luz Mercado how do you misspell cello?
@@glowrua6051 its because most people pronounce 'cello' like 'chello'
I think at least one person pronounces it 'sello' which is sort of weird to me
@@bread7865 Well its spelled cello not chello just so you know. also if your typing it should alert you that chello is the incorrect way to spell it.
eee its cello, not chello!
Who’s here in 2024 to relive this memory💙
Yep! One of my favorites... The singing (in French no less), the doll dancing (poor Avi had hurt his back so wasn't moving much, but it still had to hurt), the makeup. Outstanding!
Am I the only one that wants to watch a full video of just Scott singing? His facial expressions and body movement are so much fun to watch!
Funny how it's the non french speakers who pretend to be bothered by the accent when all native frenchs like me find it beautiful. And his accent is not that strong. Chill.
I am English but I really like this song ^-^
Karen Griffin yay! :D
Surtout qu'au contraire il a vachement travaillé sur son accent, ce qui n'est généralement pas le cas d'autres chanteurs anglais qui chantent généralement du français AVEC leur accent anglais. Ici, la performance est double.
Stellatsu exactement! ça se sent que c'est travaillé!
Stellatsu Et c'est assez chou comment il pronomce ^^
i cant even imagine how hard this would have been to sing. honestly, especially the rapping with all the unfamiliar pronunciations and word sounds (i dont know how to explain it haha)
***** Especially for the "r". I'm french and most of the anglophone people just can't pronounce the french "r".
I can't imagine how long they trained. Their pronunciation and even accent is really great!
Manon Ingrassia I took french for a year in high school and even just trying to master the french accent is so hard, let alone mastering the 'r'!
Manon Ingrassia I think I heard somewhere that Scott has some French heritage, so maybe he had more interesting in learning it
***** They hired a french teacher to personally teach them how to pronounce all that they would need to know
***** Is the 'r' sound in French any close to Spanish? I know English and Spanish, and learning French a bit
1:52 Avi is almost bass sound machine... XD
My friend introduced the original song to me two years ago and I've freaking loved it. She only recently mentioned that she found the song because of the Pentatonix remix and I'm like, "There's a Pentatonix remix?" Boom. Here it is. good stuff
How I'm feeling finding this accidentally as well!
Scott speaking French actually fucks me up
raven goodwin he just learned the lyrics^^'
Well, I'm french and he has an awesome accent, great pronunciation and everything, so I think he actually speaks French, he didn't just learned the lyrics, it would have been less comprehensible if he didn't speak french ^^
The trio had a tutor
raven goodwin As a french I can say it's not so bad !
thedcf23 Not it's decent. In some part he's awful and in others he's good.
Scott actually looks like Ken 😂😂😂
Lol he does!!! oh my gurd
SCÖMÌCHE IS REAL Mitch (is that his name?) looks like Jesus
***** sorry, don't know some of their names. Thx.
I wanted so badly to point that out!! funny that some people needed this comment to think about it... He does... but, personally, I find Avi looking more handsome!
One of their most re-watchable videos, I think. Amazing as Pentatonix is when they are singing a capella, a couple of well-played stringed instruments like here take them over the top. While the original Stromae video makes a bit more sense with the actual father lyrics, this Pentatonix version is much more fun to watch and listen to. I keep hitting the repeat! Love it!
Amazing cover. I love it so much
if they ever make PTX dolls they should look like this who agrees
YAS!!!!
Yup
me!!!
me
I do
The fact that they learned a whole song in a different language shows how dedicated and talented they are. amaaaazing job :))))
Right? I would love to see this kind of dedication from other artists :) but there are just some limitations and other things that get in the way I suppose.
it's not actually that hard, foreign people do it all the time, i leant this when i was 13 (i'm from england)
thealiceim they never learnt french maybe except 1 of dem nd they took classes only fr dis song
They actually did it already with Gangnam Style, which in my opinion seems (even) harder to accomplish! They are indeed amazing!
Ya I knw Korean is harder den french
I love Pentatonix but Stromae has sooo much soul that is lost in this cover.
Yessss i was just thinking that. The singing is amazing here but it doesnt seem like they understand what they are saying.
@@xxSammxxxx that's because they literally don't
@@thranduilssugarbaby7325 expanded way too much on the pop element not enough on the meaning.
I think the only one who has the spirit of the song down is Lindsey
They dont know the words just the sounds so they put the emphasis in all the wrong places its hard to understand
We have to apreciate our times when we had the one, the only Lindsay Stirling!
Kevin's beard was so strong the video froze.
Shipineapple froze
Betray The Shadows oh yeah that's true xD thanks a lot
loool😂😂😂
lol
Fukase Is Boi omg lol his beard is beautiful tho
can we talk about the make-up in this video WOAH
Lol Scott's lipstick changes like all the time? XD
Avi looks most like a doll
I love Kirstie's
+L. Jessie how do you say you don't speak french in french. 0.o
The power of makeup.
Wishing more Stromae covers, because every single one of his songs are incredible
I'm french and Scott have a better accent than me...

I'm with you Heather. And now I'm heading to one of your videos to relax. :)
Heather, I freaking love your videos :D!!
Thanks for helping me sleep at night
Heather Feather This song is about a guy looking for his father and wondering what makes a father in general. He explains the pain to live without his father (what the singer really lived). Sorry for my broken English, i'm French ^^
PS : love your vids Heather keep going !
"Papaoutai" is "Papa où t'es ?"
which is "Daddy, where are you ?"
TheYoupss Thanks Youpss I love the original video by Stromae, great theme
Random story so my French teacher would play us this song and then her husbands job got relocated to Texas and then we got a terrible replacement and this song always reminds me of her
This cover is just amazing ! ❤
As a singer myself, and as a French person, I can tell this song is quite of a challenge. What a speedy text to sing for foreigners.
Once again, Pentatonix did a GREAT JOB !
Does Scott speak fluent French because I speak it and his French is really good.
+Kiana Jones kirstie, scott and mitch took french lessons to be able to sing this song
I'm french and his french is really good but hé v got a litle accent
I don't think so because he still has an accent but I think he did a really good job
+Leila Nah, not about the accent, about the prounounciation
+Kiana Jones yes I am french and I think he speak French because he speak very well
and he have got a beautifull accent
Scott is actually looking just like Ken from Barbie...this is scaring me....

am i the only one who absolutely adores the makeup here? especially lindsay's!! i kept replaying parts to watch her do her funky doll thing over and over
i dont think Lindsey could stand still and play the violin even if she wanted XD love it
that's actually a good quality to have lol. she is truly amazing
+EgholmViking Physicaly Impossible
Scott singing in a different language is INCREDIBLY hot
Dupree Blosch omg right
Umm......u should watch a episode of Superfruit
bella56130 um....I watch it all the time
Oh k
First ur like "oh he is actually kinda cute" but then u watch a episode of super fruit and ur like "what!"😵
Scott's French is impeccable!
Even after so many years, I'm still so blown away with Scott's pronunciation of the French language! 😮😮😮
This is such a sad song for something so upbeat ;-:
Dragon Doodler its even sadder cause stromae lost his dad in the war
that the way stormae does his song.
Its such a cool concept though, making a happy upbeat song with terrifying and sad lyrics, its amazing actually
That is just stromae's style he even has a song called alors en danse that is sad yet upbeat
NikkiBirdd alors on danse n'est pas très "upbeat". Oui il a du rythme mais musicalement c'est mineur.
Wait Stromae, pentatonix, and Lindsey Stirling? How did I miss this
the same :O
Noémie Laurent lol.right😂
Same here ..
I want more of this
Awesomeness4U ikr
I hope I'm not the only one who is listening in 2021😂
If your still listening to this song 6 years later your a legend

Thanks so much for putting the french and english words together in the translation, way beter than just having the english translation!
Brandon 7.11 Ndn OMG thank you!!!!
Brandon 7.11 Ndn. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! ^-^
Brandon 7.11 Ndn thx
thanks a lot. :)
Stromae = awesome
Pentatonix = awesome
Lindsey Stirling = awesome
Combined = *explosion*
Agreed!
Totally agreed
+LoveConnieAndTH Yasss.. exactly
true
Directed by Michael Bay
Belle reprise !!! Merci pour ce chef-d’œuvre ❤️ good job 👏
Обожаю эту группу, слушаю их уже 6 лет, такие молодцы. Невероятное сочетание голосов! Они такие разные, но как одно целое!
dang that girl is playin that violin like a beast
There's Lindsey Stirling for ya
Elan Ma Lindsey rocks out!
You should see the other things Lindsey's done
Her dubstep violin album is the best.#Crystalise
Gracie Dunbar dancing violinist.. :0) It's what she does. She's probably in better shape then 90% of all violinists because of it.
This is where our Patreon money went with all the makeup and effects and everything... money well spent PTX! Best PTX video ever!
Good video, but not the best of PTX.
Hi Ahmed! I like your reaction movies!!
Sub !
Blez
Was that you mentioned in the special thanks?
Amen. I don't support but I want to because this is incredible. A combination of more money from Sony and Patreon can create such an incredible video with great affects. Probably the most produced they've ever done other than We Are Ninjas. I almost typed We Ate Ninjas. Lol. Can't wait to see your reaction on TH-cam!
There was so much I wanted to say bout this video, but theonly thing that stuck out the most is, Lindsey Sterling is an absolute BEAST with that fiddle.♥️ 🔥🔥🔥
omfg i remember watching this as a child
Ikr same. I was like 7 years old
Well done PTX on a song in French! Great delivery & arrangement. Lindsey blends so seamlessly.
You guys worked on enunciation and pulled it off remarkably!
The Toy Story-like visual was a nice idea, such a contrast with the actual depth of the lyrics.
I hope you'll continue stepping out of your comfort zone, singing in other languages.
I totally agree with evrything you said!
Julien Neel qui commente PTX... La rencontre des grands artistes! Pourquoi pas une collab' un de ces quatre? :p
LesTutosDeLau - LauraFontanili C'est gentil. Ils sont dans une autre sphère, clairement. Je crois pas qu'ils seraient intéressés et je ne saurais même pas comment les contacter. Les collabs entre TH-camurs sont assez compliquées à mettre en place au-delà d'une certaine masse d'abonnés, parce que c'est simplement difficile de contacter les gens ! Je me casse les dents régulièrement. Grrr :)
C'est vrai mais en même temps, ils aiment bien toucher à tout, donc je pense que ca les dérangerai pas de faire un collab' un peu plus classique. Après c'est vrai qu'ils ont "grandi" très vite et qu'ils ont l'air très occupés... Il me semble que tu viens de Paris non? Car ils passent de temps en temps faire un concert sur Paris :)
En tout cas j'adore ton travail, et tes collab' sont super. Si tu cherches quelqu'un, je suis intéressée... Haha
LesTutosDeLau - LauraFontanili Je suis sur Rennes maintenant. :)
As-tu une idée précise pour un projet ensemble ?
I am SOOO in love with this song. XD Scott's French makes me melt. ^.^
YES
Who else just randomly get on mind PTX and are listening to their songs?
Same
Pentatonix qui chantent une chanson en français je pouvais rêver mieux /Pentatonix singing a French song i couldn't dream better
De ouf !
Whoa, how are all those dolls so lifelike?! It's like they're actually the real thing! Pretty amazing how far we've gotten.
Not sure if joke, or person who doesn't know? Lol but they are just wearing make up to make them look like dolls
bob masters Joking. I knew this was a risk to write because it wasn't quite clearly stated enough.
Bonjour 0mM
C'est trop mignon de les entendre chanter en français ...😊
Et Lindsey Stirling ✨😍
C'est trop chou l'accent l'anglais
Fanny Grave j'adore, quand même choqué qu'il le parle aussi bien 😃
Ça dû être difficile pour eux de le chanter :')
J'espère qu'ils en referont en français
Franchement je suis choquée ils parlent super bien français !
As a native french speaker the prononciation is actually really good ! As a native french speaker this is quite a hard song to sing as son many words are similar in pronunciation and meaning !
Amazed !
Still really like the fact we’re able to hear a bit of an accent here and there which is sooo cute
It's kinda scary how much they really look like dolls, just bc they are so perfect
