THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for the love on my channel!! 🥰🙏🏼Wow! I’m thrilled to officially be a pentaholic 😜 and I’m enjoying connecting with all of you through Music!! This is awesome! I wish I could do more reactions in a week but I also do other videos but I see you all and I will make sure you are all a priority because this means so much to me ♥️ thank you thank you thank you! Keep sending me recommendations so I can keep reacting to music videos with you guys. You all are EPIC! Much love 🥰♥️✨
Pentaholics are very dedicated to ptx so you'll get alot of love doing this lol. Luckily for you and us, they have a huge library to watch. So, if you wanna rapidly grow your subscriber base, definitely jump on this bandwagon lol. Can't wait for more!!
@@mikemck4796 Ear phones are better than pc speaker. Head phones are better than ear phones. Sound system is better than head phones. Ear phones and head phones cannot give you the true depth of the music. Although head phones are better at it than ear phones ... nothing comes close to a sound system.
I would have totally agreed with you about them never finding another to fit. And while Avi left and we all understood it was hard to "imagine" how they could ever replace him. The sad reality is; they couldn't. HOWEVER, Matt has made his own place and fit a hole which none of us would have known was there. He stands out and melts into their harmonies so beautifully. It's been incredible to watch how they've grown
There has been one member change with this group. Their original bass guy Avi left during 2017, and has been replaced by Matt. I believe Avi actually was involved in bringing Matt into the band and it has worked out well.
Going along with what you said, I think that while Avi is missed, Matt compliments the others just as much just in different ways. They obviously took the time to choose someone who would work well with them and it payed off.
Please react to "Gold" to hear Mitch's incredible vocal showcase and "Say Something" for Kirstie's powerful rendition of the song. "Hallelujah" and "The Sound of Silence" have each of the four vocalists sing solos.
@@SchnellJordan if you do Hallelujah by them, please do the live version from their Christmas Special, here is the link th-cam.com/video/haFHrfmfHbc/w-d-xo.html. It's even better than the video.
Here's an odd request: Please ignore all of us for a minute and just check out the Pentatonix channel on TH-cam to choose a song they've covered that you already know and love. They've got a big selection and they're all amazing! This group, and the reactors reacting to them, are the reason I gave up TV and switched to TH-cam!
If you dont already know this, heres a little backstory for you :) The Members are Scott (baritone), Mitch (tenor), Kirstie (mezzo-soprano), Kevin (beatbox), Matt (bass since 2017), Avi (bass 2011-2017) They won The Sing-Off ( an acapella competition show) in 2011 and have since then released many Eps and Albums ( covers and originals), toured the world, won three grammys and basically become the most famous modern acapella band there is :D a few amazing covers they did (and they did a looot) are: shallow, can you feel the love tonight, the sound of silence, come along, blinding lights (its from their brand new ep and the mv comes out tomorrow), waving through a window, and also their evolutions of rihanna and ariana grande ( these are all relatively new and with matt) if you want to check out more of their "older" stuff (with Avi): hallelujah, sing (an original), rather be, cheerleader , daft punk (they won their first grammy for that arrangement)
I love watching people react to Pentatonix music! They are so amazing! Welcome to the world of us Pentaholics! A few more suggestions: Hallelujah, Aha Singapore (live version), Mary did you Know, Sound of Silence, Daft Punk. ANYTHING! You won’t be disappointed! Also Scott and Mitch formed Superfruit awhile back and would love for you to react to Defying Gravity and Rise. Thank you!
Love both of those!!! If you do "Rise", please, please read the dedication in the description box before listening - it's beautiful and explains why they did the song
I like Rather Be. Like many Pentaholics, I heard their version, before I heard the original. When I finally heard the original I noticed that you could swap the lead singers in either direction and it would sound almost the same.
It does seem that it would be hard to replace just 1 person, however, they did manage to do it. They were not in any rush, took their time, even recorded some songs with just the 4 of them but trust me (and other Pentaholics) when we say, that they did indeed find one. Their rendition of Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is AMAZING!!!
Scott (tall blond guy) is the absolutely king of runs. He can do anything. It’s really quite impressive. You should check out his cover of “i should tell your momma on you” - scott hoying. It’s pretty insane.
There have been seven members, five at a time, in this group to my count. These kids are absolutely astounding in their vocal virtuosity! All of them studied together at the conservatory they attended, which explains why they mesh so well. I have no doubt that they could sing a capella an entire symphony.
Love your reactions to PTX! You are adorable! I cannot wait to see more reactions and there are just so many ... And you'll never pick a favorite...I've tried.. Just love them all!
Thanks for the great reaction. The names of the members are Scott (Tall Blond), Mitch (Earring guy), Kirstin (Girl), Kevin (Beat Boxer), and Avi (Bass), Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced by Matt in subsequent PTX videos. The "Trio", Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin have known each other since early childhood. The sang together in Community Theater and High School Choir. Kevin and Avi were added in 2011 when they all formed Pentatonix. They competed on the NBC TV show, "The Sing off". They won that year and went on to become You Tube sensations. They have sold millions of records and have won 3 Grammy's (So far). They have 9 years worth of material that will continue to "blow you away". I look forward to sharing you PTX journey with you. Thanks again.
If you listen to more pentatonix you should listen with headphones - it really brings out how well they blend together, and you can really appreciate the bass
Andycofin Interesting point you made. They do seem able to bring other people in and gel really well with them. One of my favourite is the underrated “Winter wonderland” with Tori Kelly.
The only thing I hate about this video is, with Mitch and Kirstin wearing super lifts, and Avi stuck in between Scott and Kevin, he looks super short, when he's the 3rd tallest person there!! Also, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it, but with A Capella videos you really have to wear some headphones to really appreciate the bass and all the stuff in the background that Kirstie does! Even a cheap $20 pair will work.
Also, Scott is super tall (which I learned via the Pentatodrix video). When he hands the sign to Avi, he definitely hands it downward. When you know that Scott is, what, 6'3"?, then you realize Avi is probably 5'10".
Let me get this straight: Mondays only? What am I going to do for the other six days? About my favourite among them, that’s easy: it’s whoever is singing at that moment. Similarly, my favourite PTX track is the one I’m listening to at the time. I’m loving your reactions and I can’t wait for the next one! And nice to hear you are now a Pentaholic. Welcome to the family!
Haha I knowww I wish I could do more reactions, trust me! But I make other videos as well so my hands get pretty full for the week. But I’m excited to hop on this journey with you guys for real. I can’t wait to hear more of their music with all of you 😊♥️✨
If you want to hear more of Kirstie’s singing, I suggest Say Something or Shallow. For Mitch (with the earrings) I suggest just about anything they sing. Lol! Or maybe Come Along, or Can’t help falling in love or Can you feel the love tonight. All winners! Am so enjoying your reactions to PTX and am so happen you are as “smitten” with them as the rest of us Pentaholics are. Welcome into the fold❣️
I also saw that you reacted to Yebba, I am so happy!!! And you are very gifted, you will find many fans/friends especially through the PTX world. I highly recommend Kevin Olusola KO’s cover of “Down” (you’ll see his incredible talents, he’s amazing!) Avi Kaplan’s “Change on the Rise” and Pentatonix original “Run To You” it was created by Kevin and Avi. It’s heavenly harmony ❤️ I’ll stop buggin lol I just have a feeling you’ll love it. Thank you for your reactions! And if you ever want to see how these kiddos became a group- they started on the show “The Sing Off”. It is such a joy to see them grow and breathe life back into acappella.
I’m a Beatles fan first, love the shirt. The day John Lennon got killed, ( December 8th 1980 ) I cried in my sleep for weeks. I was 16 years old. That’s embedded in my mind forever. I actually was tearing up, beautiful rendition of the legendary and the one and only John Lennon, Imagine!😢😢😢😢
You are NOT a Pentatonix fan....you're now a "PENTAHOLIC". It usually takes 1 maybe 2 songs to become one. I'm sure other pentaholics have made a host of different recommendations, but I though you might find some background useful. In case you didn't get the reference, the signs they held up in IMAGINE identified each of them as Mitch & Scott are gay, Avi is Jewish, Kevin obviously black and Christian, and Kirstie is Latina...the setup was great. Scott, Mitch and Kirstie became friends in their early teens and were members of their high school Acapella choir (at graduation, they performed Lady Gaga's Telephone...check that out). After graduation, Scott went to USC and Kirstie went to University of Tulsa(?), then a year later (they were all 19, Scott wanted to perform on a TV Show (Sing Off, an acapella competition), he called Mitch and Kirstie to join him. Then a close friend of Scott recommended that they should add a bass singer (suggesting Avi, who was 21), and a beat-boxer, who could add percussion sounds. Scott found Kevin (22) on the internet who was also a classically trained cellist (p.s. also accepted into Yale's medical school and even learned to speak Mandarin). Amazingly, Avi and Kevin joined them just one day before their first performance on the show. BTW, they collectively do all their own arrangements. Five INCREDIBLY talents, who could easily be successful on their own...and have done solo gigs...Mitch & Scott under "Super Fruits"; Kirstie has done Broadway and Disney stuff, plus singles on her own; Kevin has his own channel (check out Kevin Olusola videos of "Down" and Harry Stiles "Sign of the Times); Avi sadly left after 7 years, because his mother was fighting cancer and their constant traveling and world tours was to challenging for him. He started his separate career when she recovered (check out his "Change on the Rise"). Matt Sallee replaced him in late 2017 and has fit in wonderfully...check out Sound of Silence. It's amazing that any group can collect together where each one has insane talent. To this day, ALL of them remain super friends and are truly down to earth in spending time with each other. They have revolutionized the music industry for acapella groups. You will have weeks and months to discover their greatness !! As you go through their videos, you will see that they all dress individually and colorful, AND change their looks (mostly Mitch)...hair cuts & colors, beards no beards, makeup, weight loss, etc. ENJOY !!
Hi Nick! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 I feel like I’ve gotten to know them a lot better now (thanks to you!) 😊and I’m excited to keep discovering more! 💕✨
Just throwin my suggestion out there, Black & White by Todrick Hall, has 3 members of pentatonix in it. Wizard of ahhs by todrick hall also has pentatonix :D
Scott the tall blonde has an amazing range & runs. Mitch the guy with the earrings and the beautiful high range is amazing. Scott & Mitch have actually been best friends & in a relationship together since Middle School. They also are the founding members of "Pentatonix" & They are "Superfruit". Kristen has been a friend of theirs since High School Choir & She is Beautiful! Avi the guy with long hair & Kevin the beat boxer were recruited to form the group to compete in the "Sing Off" They are now the Best A Capella Group Ever.
They've done a couple songs with other singers and they kill it every time. They have songs with Dolly Parton, Jason Derulo (my fave), Kelly Clarkson, and Tori Kelly. Definitely check them out!
This song gets me every time. Beautiful song. Beautiful message. Beautiful reaction! Thank you for that! Can you do their cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love" next? :)
Good reaction! Speechless is a pretty normal reaction. In case no one has mentioned it, they sound exactly the same live as they do in their videos. Generally they use microphones to balance their voices and that's it. Everything else comes from them. There are some videos of them singing without microphones and they sound the same. I suggest you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody or Imagine with headphones or even ear buds (but headphones are better). You'll hear the difference unless you have reference speakers. Hint. If you move to the left while you watch, there is more room on the right side of the screen for the video. I'm glad you switched the video to where your eyes are looking. After watching, you can move back to center.
Interestingly they collaborate beautifully with other voices. Check out their Grammy winning Jolene with "THE" Dolly Parton. They also have colaborated with Jason Derulo, Jennifer Hudson and Tori Kelly.
You really really get me. I love Kirstin's voice so much too! It's so beautiful! And she keeps sounding better in every new video they do. I love her! I love Ptx!
Try with headphones. I recommend “gold“ to hear Mitch‘s voice in all its glory (the guy with the earrings) and “say something“ to hear Kirsten as lead.
Avi, the bass singer, left the group - because he missed time with his family - and was replaced by Matt. You'll see Matt in their cover of "Sound of Silence" --- its amazing and probably my favorite. Welcome to a new Pentaholic! :-). Also, please don't miss their cover of Hallelujah!!
Thank you so very much for reacting to Pentatonix. Welcome officially to the wonderful world of the Pentaholic....that's what their fans are known as. Absolutley love your reactions btw. Peace
I recommend "The Sound of Silence" and "Mary Did You Know" for amazing vocal performances from everyone and for something a bit more fun, check out "Waving Through a Window"... all by Pentatonix, of course.
It's so hard to pick a favorite....They all have unique qualities that warrant the top spot. I will say that I'm sad Avi is gone and that Matt is doing a serviceable job as primary bass component.
Loved your reaction! ... Your going to have to add an extra day for music reactions just to cover all of Pentatonix amazing covers and original sings😀😁 Hallelujah, Duft Punk,Gold, Sound of Silence, Mary did you know, Sing and ... many many more ❤️
Great reaction 👍. These guys have 3 Grammys. First for Daft Punk, second for Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies and third for Jolene with Dolly Parton joining in
A great one with Kirstie as lead is their original called Water, written by Kirstie & Kevin. It's one of 3 originals (plus Evolution of Michael Jackson) they performed live at Popspring in Japan a few years ago. Also Kirstie does great lead parts in their covers of Say Something & Shallow.
SuperFruit is Scott and Mitch. Their cover of Rise with friends is amazing. I love Future Friends and The Promise. Say Something, Daft Punk (1st Grammy) Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd Grammy) Jolene (3rd Grammy)
No, no,no, you're not speechless (yet), just in the quiet absorption phase. Now that you've done the 'easy' stuff, trip on over to 'the garage' and listen to The Sound of Silence. If you're not familiar with the lyrics, keep in mind that Paul Simon wrote it (1964) when the country was 'very noisy' with the Civil Rights marches and Viet Nam and all. He seems to say that with all that 'noise' people have stopped speaking of listening to each other, and that makes loving each other that much more difficult. That time feels sort of familiar today. Hope you like it.
Pentatonix is awesome. You just can't go wrong with them. Also, your backdrop afghan is so colorful and beautiful. Best back drop I have seen in a long time.
Do YOURSELF a solid. Earbuds at the very least ....high quality earphones are better. These vocals are world class and intricate. What you will gain is beyond explaining ..... Trust US. You deserve it.
I was already a PTX fan before watching your channel. Also a HOME FREE Home Fry - I'm hooked on your channel, and binging on your reactions right now. Thanks for what you do, you make my day better for watching.
Just in case you missed it, the words weren't just showing different people/religions etc. It was about each of them, and the word they passed on was what they had in common (makes it that much more emotional).
You are right about their blend being unique... Avi (the bass with the awesome dark beard) left a few years back and they replaced him with a new bass named Matt... Their sound is just as amazing, but it has changed forever... BTW Avi (the bass) opened this singing MUCH higher... Scott covered the bass end while Avi sings upper end. They do amazing covers, but I will suggest one of their many originals. You need to see their video "Sing".... It will lift you out of a low mood, or take a good mood and make it explode! Welcome to Pentaholics.
FYI. If you look at videos prior to early 2018, you’ll see Avi Kaplan (beard) singing bass. He left the group at the end of their tour in 2017. The pace of rehearsing-recording-touring got to be too much. His mother was ill, and he had a tough time being away so much. Kirstie explained PTX rehearsals last many many many hours, because they not only have to learn the vocals, but they have to settle on the sound effects. Avi left on excellent terms, and he helped them with their choice of their new bass, Matt Sallee. Matt joined PTX on their Christmas tour in 2017, and officially became the bass in January 2018. He brings a whole different vibe to their sound-still great, but clearly different. You should also be aware Mitch (on the left in this video) is a chameleon. He’s lost weight over the years, and changes his hair A LOT. Kirstin(Kirstie) changes her hair frequently also. Without a doubt, they’ve changed and matured. They’ve been a group since 2011, and the maturity really shows now. And by the way. They’ve won THREE Grammys: for vocal arrangement for their “Daft Punk Medley” and their rendition of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”, and for vocal performance for their collaboration with DOLLY PARTON on a cover of her classic, “Jolene”. Every album of PTX has landed in the top 30 on the Billboard 200, and their Christmas album, “A Pentatonix Christmas” is one of the biggest selling Christmas albums OF ALL TIME. Not too shabby for a group that was initially dropped by their record label (learn their history. Fascinating story!)!
Once again an excellent review, To hear Kristin sing, check out Say Something, and yes, Mitch is pretty awesome. We love adding Pentaholics. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
If you have an hour or so to spare, I suggest you watch their journey on The Sing-Off. There are many videos out there where you can watch start to finish. You watch them grow before your eyes. That's where I started when I discovered them a few years ago. Welcome to the Pentaholics! Love your reactions!
You should react to their cover of “The Sound of Silence” next. It features all of them kind of like this cover and it also features Matt who is the newest member and who you haven’t seen yet, unless you listen to them outside of your reaction videos.
Their cover of Shallow is one of their songs that showcases Kirstie, so you should react to that one. Plus, in Shallow you will get to see Matt. He replaced Avi (the bearded bass) in late 2017.
Scott and Mitch also do Superfruit which is a ton of fun. Tip to follow doing Superfruit is stay for the bloopers at the end. Kevin the beat boxer also does solo stuff. He is insanely good and speak fluent Mandarin as well.
someone else may have already told you, but did you know that they formed as a group only 1 day before they started competing in the Sing-off which they won.
Congratulations on entering the amazing black hole that is PTX and on becoming a novice Pentaholic. 😊 There is a playlist on their channel called “A Beginners Guide to PTX” I would recommend starting there. Enjoy your discovery of this 3 GRAMMY winning group. ✌🏻
They did make a change of one member and the quality was not effected. Watch more all of the get an opportunity shine and all are vastly more talented than you know.
Get some headphones!!! Lol I'm sure people have told you already that these PTX videos are amazingly well produced and sound absolutely mind-blowing in headphones. Glad you have become a Pentaholic. Cheers!!
ptx do have a definite chemistry but they have done some good collaborations, notably singing Jolene with Dolly Parton for which they won their third grammy award
You should check out them singing hallalua, it is my favorite. Have heard them in concert twice already. Love your honesty and knowledge of music. Looking forward to monday.
I absolutely love your positivity and genuine ❤️ felt reactions! You're a beautiful person and I look forward to following your journey with us pentaholics! Have a fantastic week, stay safe and healthy! 🤗 PS. Would like to see your reaction to Pentatonix "Mary Did You Know" & their "Daft Punk Medley" (which if you like it, their original song "Love Again" is similar in style!) 🌺
Try Pentatonx version of Hallelujah (Cohen). I also suggest Gold (Kiara). Also, we Pentaholics do in fact suggest you use a headset to really comprehend the beauty of their music. In fact any music will sound better with headphones. Please do more, you are a very good reviewer.
Pentatonix - Perfect is a great cover. Also Pentatonix - Say something or Pentatonix - Shallow if you want to hear more of Kirsten. Great reaction video
New sub, welcome to the Pentaholic nation. 'Imagine' is such a perfect embodiment of both their diversity as a group and the ethic they promote in their music and fandom.
Hey SJ, thanks for your reaction on this great song. As you are a official Pentaholic now, i would love to see your reaction on the following songs from PTX. „Hallelujah“ - in my opinion their absolutely best one. But for you as a musician, i would recommend the live version. Also a killer is „Sound of silence“ and „Mary did you know“. And also all the other ones... 😂🙈 looking forward to see more of your reactions... 🤗
to hear more of Kirstin check out the XMas songs like O come ll ye faithful, little drummer boy and Mary did you know and the solo song she sang for the year of the dog tv show which honored toto from Wizard of Oz and Kirstin sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow
React to If I Ever Fall In Love cover by Pentatonix with Jason Derulo or Jolene where they sang with Dolly Parton. You'll see how they highlight another person but still shine in the song. Fact: Their Jolene cover with Dolly Parton gave their 3rd Grammy. 1st was for their Daft Punk Medley and 2nd for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
If you want to hear Kirstin shine, listen to "Say Something" cover of Big New World & Christina Aguilera. If you want to dance, "Can't Hold Us" or "Daft Punk Medley". If you want to hear amazing vocal instrumental "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy In November, you can start doing Christmas song reactions. My favorites "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Mary, Did you Know?", and "Carol of the Bells"
Great reaction! I’m a big Kirstie (the girl) fan, too. She has a rich voice, great breath control and perfect placement in everything she sings. Say Something, Rather Be and Shallow are three songs that really showcase her talent. She also has a prominent part in Hallelujah, which is their most watched TH-cam video (550 million views). The Trio is Kirstie, Scott (blond baritone) and Mitch (counter-tenor) who were friends from a young age. They added Avi (bass) and Kevin (beat boxer) so they could compete on Season 3 of the Sing Off, which they won as a brand new group. Since then they have won 3 Grammys, put out multiple Platinum-selling albums and tour world-wide to sold out arenas. Avi left at the end of 2017 because the touring schedule kept him away from his family too much. He helped them find his replacement, Matt. Enjoy getting to know them.
No word about the message? Their notes couldn't really be missed, did they? The variety in the group? Different religions, different identities, different origins and all. And they're all human in the end. Wow, I can't believe that there is a review of that song that doesn't spend a single sentence on that.
New Pentaholic? Of course I've subscribed! Definitely headphones for all PTX videos because you get to appreciate Avi especially a lot more that way. Also, for the next reaction, their cover of "Hallelujah" is a big classic for all Pentaholics and I highly recommend it!!

Kirsten really shines in Shallow, Rather Be and Say Something. Another must listen is their rendition of Hallelujah.
Yess! Hallelujah!!
"Say Something" is SO good.
I also find can you feel the love tonight is also incredible
also La LA Latch
@@flex97 maybe an unpopular opinion but that may be the 1 song I dislike from them.
you will want to start listening with headphones. because of their voices, you miss something without headphones. Welcome to PTX!
Specifically, the bass notes will be so much richer, and overall the range just doesn't get picked up on computer or phone speakers.
@@hstppt Avi's glorious basso profundo voice needs to be experienced with headphones.
Not earphones ... headphones ... or preferably a full speakersystem.
@@muhest It’s weird to me how all of a sudden people consider headphones better than a stereo system.

They've got a big selection and they're all amazing! This group, and the reactors reacting to them, are the reason I gave up TV and switched to TH-cam!
I love what you say here
If you dont already know this, heres a little backstory for you :)
The Members are Scott (baritone), Mitch (tenor), Kirstie (mezzo-soprano), Kevin (beatbox), Matt (bass since 2017), Avi (bass 2011-2017)
They won The Sing-Off ( an acapella competition show) in 2011 and have since then released many Eps and Albums ( covers and originals), toured the world, won three grammys and basically become the most famous modern acapella band there is :D
a few amazing covers they did (and they did a looot) are:
shallow, can you feel the love tonight, the sound of silence, come along, blinding lights (its from their brand new ep and the mv comes out tomorrow), waving through a window, and also their evolutions of rihanna and ariana grande ( these are all relatively new and with matt)
if you want to check out more of their "older" stuff (with Avi):
hallelujah, sing (an original), rather be, cheerleader , daft punk (they won their first grammy for that arrangement)
Rather be and Say something are two, songs where Kirstie leads throughout the song and showcases some of her range.p
I love watching people react to Pentatonix music! They are so amazing! Welcome to the world of us Pentaholics! A few more suggestions: Hallelujah, Aha Singapore (live version), Mary did you Know, Sound of Silence, Daft Punk. ANYTHING! You won’t be disappointed! Also Scott and Mitch formed Superfruit awhile back and would love for you to react to Defying Gravity and Rise. Thank you!
Love both of those!!! If you do "Rise", please, please read the dedication in the description box before listening - it's beautiful and explains why they did the song
also by Superfruit is The Promise (cover of an 80's song_ and also Guy.exe which is just a fun song!
Rather Be and Little Drummer Boy are also good songs to hear Kirstie sing. Definitely check out Hallelujah too!
I like Rather Be. Like many Pentaholics, I heard their version, before I heard the original. When I finally heard the original I noticed that you could swap the lead singers in either direction and it would sound almost the same.
“Say Something” and LaLa Latch” are also good for hearing Kirsten.
everything by Pentatonix is good.
It does seem that it would be hard to replace just 1 person, however, they did manage to do it. They were not in any rush, took their time, even recorded some songs with just the 4 of them but trust me (and other Pentaholics) when we say, that they did indeed find one. Their rendition of Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel is AMAZING!!!

Kevin and Avi were added in 2011 when they all formed Pentatonix. They competed on the NBC TV show, "The Sing off". They won that year and went on to become You Tube sensations. They have sold millions of records and have won 3 Grammy's (So far). They have 9 years worth of material that will continue to "blow you away". I look forward to sharing you PTX journey with you. Thanks again.
If you listen to more pentatonix you should listen with headphones - it really brings out how well they blend together, and you can really appreciate the bass
You said if they brought another person in, it wouldn’t be the same. Listen to them with Dolly Parton. They won an Emmy for that.
Andycofin Interesting point you made. They do seem able to bring other people in and gel really well with them. One of my favourite is the underrated “Winter wonderland” with Tori Kelly.
You mean a grammy?
Whoops! Yea, a grammy. But they’re all so sexy looking, they could win an Emmy. Lol
Mitch with the earrings and You can now be a Pentaholic.
Hi Sean ????? 🙋🏼♀️
@@shortybarnesyanik hey mishel
Haha thank you Sean and I’m so glad I’m a part of it now 😊
@@SchnellJordan I'm not sure why I said like I was the leader of the Pentaholics universe. But Welcome anyways.
Maybe not the leader of the Pentaholics universe, but definitely the head of recruitment.
When you use headphones you can hear every detail of It... It's very cool actually.
I think we all have our favorites (which can change from song to song) but we all recognize and are blown away by their immense talent.
Great to see you back with another Pentatonix video so soon.
The only thing I hate about this video is, with Mitch and Kirstin wearing super lifts, and Avi stuck in between Scott and Kevin, he looks super short, when he's the 3rd tallest person there!! Also, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it, but with A Capella videos you really have to wear some headphones to really appreciate the bass and all the stuff in the background that Kirstie does! Even a cheap $20 pair will work.
Also, Scott is super tall (which I learned via the Pentatodrix video). When he hands the sign to Avi, he definitely hands it downward. When you know that Scott is, what, 6'3"?, then you realize Avi is probably 5'10".
@@hstppt close. Scott is 6'4" and Avi is 5'11".
I was going you would do sound of silence but I am actually happy you picked this one!!! I agree with you.. these guys are crazy!!!
Let me get this straight: Mondays only? What am I going to do for the other six days? About my favourite among them, that’s easy: it’s whoever is singing at that moment. Similarly, my favourite PTX track is the one I’m listening to at the time. I’m loving your reactions and I can’t wait for the next one! And nice to hear you are now a Pentaholic. Welcome to the family!
Haha I knowww I wish I could do more reactions, trust me! But I make other videos as well so my hands get pretty full for the week. But I’m excited to hop on this journey with you guys for real. I can’t wait to hear more of their music with all of you 😊♥️✨
If you want to hear more of Kirstie’s singing, I suggest Say Something or Shallow. For Mitch (with the earrings) I suggest just about anything they sing. Lol! Or maybe Come Along, or Can’t help falling in love or Can you feel the love tonight. All winners! Am so enjoying your reactions to PTX and am so happen you are as “smitten” with them as the rest of us Pentaholics are. Welcome into the fold❣️
Hey Chris
Also _Rather Be_ is a great Kirsten feature.
Sean ????? Hey Sean????? Good to “see” you! Lol.
@@chrispavlich9656 So many ????????????
Hallelujah and they have a new EP 'Home' came out Wed. and will have a new song every Wed. for the next 4 or 5 weeks. Enjoy!
I also saw that you reacted to Yebba, I am so happy!!! And you are very gifted, you will find many fans/friends especially through the PTX world. I highly recommend Kevin Olusola KO’s cover of “Down” (you’ll see his incredible talents, he’s amazing!) Avi Kaplan’s “Change on the Rise” and Pentatonix original “Run To You” it was created by Kevin and Avi. It’s heavenly harmony ❤️ I’ll stop buggin lol I just have a feeling you’ll love it. Thank you for your reactions! And if you ever want to see how these kiddos became a group- they started on the show “The Sing Off”. It is such a joy to see them grow and breathe life back into acappella.
This video of Pentatonix is rare because Kevin gets to sing more than he beat-boxes. You get to hear his mellow tenor.
I’m a Beatles fan first, love the shirt. The day John Lennon got killed, ( December 8th 1980 )
I cried in my sleep for weeks. I was 16 years old. That’s embedded in my mind forever. I actually was tearing up, beautiful rendition of the legendary and the one and only John Lennon, Imagine!😢😢😢😢
If you want to hear Pentatonix at their best, listen to them cover Hallelujah... it it magic.
You are NOT a Pentatonix fan....you're now a "PENTAHOLIC". It usually takes 1 maybe 2 songs to become one. I'm sure other pentaholics have made a host of different recommendations, but I though you might find some background useful. In case you didn't get the reference, the signs they held up in IMAGINE identified each of them as Mitch & Scott are gay, Avi is Jewish, Kevin obviously black and Christian, and Kirstie is Latina...the setup was great. Scott, Mitch and Kirstie became friends in their early teens and were members of their high school Acapella choir (at graduation, they performed Lady Gaga's Telephone...check that out). After graduation, Scott went to USC and Kirstie went to University of Tulsa(?), then a year later (they were all 19, Scott wanted to perform on a TV Show (Sing Off, an acapella competition), he called Mitch and Kirstie to join him. Then a close friend of Scott recommended that they should add a bass singer (suggesting Avi, who was 21), and a beat-boxer, who could add percussion sounds. Scott found Kevin (22) on the internet who was also a classically trained cellist (p.s. also accepted into Yale's medical school and even learned to speak Mandarin). Amazingly, Avi and Kevin joined them just one day before their first performance on the show. BTW, they collectively do all their own arrangements. Five INCREDIBLY talents, who could easily be successful on their own...and have done solo gigs...Mitch & Scott under "Super Fruits"; Kirstie has done Broadway and Disney stuff, plus singles on her own; Kevin has his own channel (check out Kevin Olusola videos of "Down" and Harry Stiles "Sign of the Times); Avi sadly left after 7 years, because his mother was fighting cancer and their constant traveling and world tours was to challenging for him. He started his separate career when she recovered (check out his "Change on the Rise"). Matt Sallee replaced him in late 2017 and has fit in wonderfully...check out Sound of Silence. It's amazing that any group can collect together where each one has insane talent. To this day, ALL of them remain super friends and are truly down to earth in spending time with each other. They have revolutionized the music industry for acapella groups. You will have weeks and months to discover their greatness !! As you go through their videos, you will see that they all dress individually and colorful, AND change their looks (mostly Mitch)...hair cuts & colors, beards no beards, makeup, weight loss, etc. ENJOY !!
Nick Roberts Very nicely summed up, Nick.
Hi Nick! Thank you so much for sharing 😊 I feel like I’ve gotten to know them a lot better now (thanks to you!) 😊and I’m excited to keep discovering more! 💕✨
@@SchnellJordan Love your passionate and knowledgeable reactions and will look forward to seeing more.
Kristin went to the University Of Oklahoma :) Kevin was pre med and went to Yale.
They do not have a bad song they do!!! Shallow cover by them is awesome!! And hallelujah, sound of silence, perfect and the list goes on
Just throwin my suggestion out there, Black & White by Todrick Hall, has 3 members of pentatonix in it. Wizard of ahhs by todrick hall also has pentatonix :D
On a semi separate note, I think You got the Wrong Bitch, Bitch by Todderick is AWESOME
Scott the tall blonde has an amazing range & runs. Mitch the guy with the earrings and the beautiful high range is amazing. Scott & Mitch have actually been best friends & in a relationship together since Middle School. They also are the founding members of "Pentatonix" & They are "Superfruit". Kristen has been a friend of theirs since High School Choir & She is Beautiful! Avi the guy with long hair & Kevin the beat boxer were recruited to form the group to compete in the "Sing Off" They are now the Best A Capella Group Ever.
They've done a couple songs with other singers and they kill it every time. They have songs with Dolly Parton, Jason Derulo (my fave), Kelly Clarkson, and Tori Kelly. Definitely check them out!
This song gets me every time. Beautiful song. Beautiful message. Beautiful reaction! Thank you for that! Can you do their cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love" next? :)
Good reaction! Speechless is a pretty normal reaction. In case no one has mentioned it, they sound exactly the same live as they do in their videos. Generally they use microphones to balance their voices and that's it. Everything else comes from them. There are some videos of them singing without microphones and they sound the same.
I suggest you listen to Bohemian Rhapsody or Imagine with headphones or even ear buds (but headphones are better). You'll hear the difference unless you have reference speakers.
Hint. If you move to the left while you watch, there is more room on the right side of the screen for the video. I'm glad you switched the video to where your eyes are looking. After watching, you can move back to center.
As a pentaholic you should know. headphones are 100% a must to listen to their songs. the bass of Avi and Matt can-t be truly aprecciated other way
Ohhh that guy is Mitch '' sassy'' Grassi!!!!
I've been a Mitchaholic forever!! He is so so amazing!!!!!!!!
Interestingly they collaborate beautifully with other voices. Check out their Grammy winning Jolene with "THE" Dolly Parton. They also have colaborated with Jason Derulo, Jennifer Hudson and Tori Kelly.
You really really get me. I love Kirstin's voice so much too! It's so beautiful! And she keeps sounding better in every new video they do. I love her! I love Ptx!
Try with headphones. I recommend “gold“ to hear Mitch‘s voice in all its glory (the guy with the earrings) and “say something“ to hear Kirsten as lead.
Avi, the bass singer, left the group - because he missed time with his family - and was replaced by Matt. You'll see Matt in their cover of "Sound of Silence" --- its amazing and probably my favorite. Welcome to a new Pentaholic! :-). Also, please don't miss their cover of Hallelujah!!
Thank you so very much for reacting to Pentatonix. Welcome officially to the wonderful world of the Pentaholic....that's what their fans are known as. Absolutley love your reactions btw. Peace
I recommend "The Sound of Silence" and "Mary Did You Know" for amazing vocal performances from everyone and for something a bit more fun, check out "Waving Through a Window"... all by Pentatonix, of course.
It's so hard to pick a favorite....They all have unique qualities that warrant the top spot. I will say that I'm sad Avi is gone and that Matt is doing a serviceable job as primary bass component.
Loved your reaction! ... Your going to have to add an extra day for music reactions just to cover all of Pentatonix amazing covers and original sings😀😁 Hallelujah, Duft Punk,Gold, Sound of Silence, Mary did you know, Sing and ... many many more ❤️
Great reaction 👍. These guys have 3 Grammys. First for Daft Punk, second for Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies and third for Jolene with Dolly Parton joining in
A great one with Kirstie as lead is their original called Water, written by Kirstie & Kevin. It's one of 3 originals (plus Evolution of Michael Jackson) they performed live at Popspring in Japan a few years ago.
Also Kirstie does great lead parts in their covers of Say Something & Shallow.
Love your reactions…Pentatonix is iconic…the best a cappella group ever!
You also need Headphones its almost a crime to listen to ptx without them
SuperFruit is Scott and Mitch. Their cover of Rise with friends is amazing. I love Future Friends and The Promise.
Say Something, Daft Punk (1st Grammy) Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd Grammy) Jolene (3rd Grammy)
No, no,no, you're not speechless (yet), just in the quiet absorption phase. Now that you've done the 'easy' stuff, trip on over to 'the garage' and listen to The Sound of Silence. If you're not familiar with the lyrics, keep in mind that Paul Simon wrote it (1964) when the country was 'very noisy' with the Civil Rights marches and Viet Nam and all. He seems to say that with all that 'noise' people have stopped speaking of listening to each other, and that makes loving each other that much more difficult. That time feels sort of familiar today. Hope you like it.
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole! You’re gonna love the journey!
Pentatonix is awesome. You just can't go wrong with them. Also, your backdrop afghan is so colorful and beautiful. Best back drop I have seen in a long time.
Do YOURSELF a solid. Earbuds at the very least ....high quality earphones are better. These vocals are world class and intricate. What you will gain is beyond explaining ..... Trust US. You deserve it.
I was already a PTX fan before watching your channel. Also a HOME FREE Home Fry - I'm hooked on your channel, and binging on your reactions right now. Thanks for what you do, you make my day better for watching.
If you say, "I am literally speechless," then you're not speechless! LOL - (Just teasing, I know what you mean).
I agree, they are incredible.
Just in case you missed it, the words weren't just showing different people/religions etc. It was about each of them, and the word they passed on was what they had in common (makes it that much more emotional).
You are right about their blend being unique... Avi (the bass with the awesome dark beard) left a few years back and they replaced him with a new bass named Matt... Their sound is just as amazing, but it has changed forever... BTW Avi (the bass) opened this singing MUCH higher... Scott covered the bass end while Avi sings upper end. They do amazing covers, but I will suggest one of their many originals. You need to see their video "Sing".... It will lift you out of a low mood, or take a good mood and make it explode! Welcome to Pentaholics.
This was Avis’ last song recorded with Pentatonics they wanted to do it so all the different people would be represented
My favorite PTX singer is whoever is singing at any given moment. LOL!
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. No vocals, and they won a Grammy for it.
FYI. If you look at videos prior to early 2018, you’ll see Avi Kaplan (beard) singing bass. He left the group at the end of their tour in 2017. The pace of rehearsing-recording-touring got to be too much. His mother was ill, and he had a tough time being away so much. Kirstie explained PTX rehearsals last many many many hours, because they not only have to learn the vocals, but they have to settle on the sound effects. Avi left on excellent terms, and he helped them with their choice of their new bass, Matt Sallee. Matt joined PTX on their Christmas tour in 2017, and officially became the bass in January 2018. He brings a whole different vibe to their sound-still great, but clearly different. You should also be aware Mitch (on the left in this video) is a chameleon. He’s lost weight over the years, and changes his hair A LOT. Kirstin(Kirstie) changes her hair frequently also. Without a doubt, they’ve changed and matured. They’ve been a group since 2011, and the maturity really shows now. And by the way. They’ve won THREE Grammys: for vocal arrangement for their “Daft Punk Medley” and their rendition of “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”, and for vocal performance for their collaboration with DOLLY PARTON on a cover of her classic, “Jolene”. Every album of PTX has landed in the top 30 on the Billboard 200, and their Christmas album, “A Pentatonix Christmas” is one of the biggest selling Christmas albums OF ALL TIME. Not too shabby for a group that was initially dropped by their record label (learn their history. Fascinating story!)!
Once again an excellent review, To hear Kristin sing, check out Say Something, and yes, Mitch is pretty awesome. We love adding Pentaholics. WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
If you have an hour or so to spare, I suggest you watch their journey on The Sing-Off. There are many videos out there where you can watch start to finish. You watch them grow before your eyes. That's where I started when I discovered them a few years ago. Welcome to the Pentaholics! Love your reactions!
The guy who replaced Avi is really good too! (I know he didn’t replace him, I couldn’t think of a better word)
May i suggest you listen to these guys with headphones, you catch so much more of the sounds.
You should react to their cover of “The Sound of Silence” next. It features all of them kind of like this cover and it also features Matt who is the newest member and who you haven’t seen yet, unless you listen to them outside of your reaction videos.
Their cover of Shallow is one of their songs that showcases Kirstie, so you should react to that one. Plus, in Shallow you will get to see Matt. He replaced Avi (the bearded bass) in late 2017.
Nice to see you becareful they are very easy to fall in love with love your reactions
Scott and Mitch also do Superfruit which is a ton of fun. Tip to follow doing Superfruit is stay for the bloopers at the end. Kevin the beat boxer also does solo stuff. He is insanely good and speak fluent Mandarin as well.
Little tip, when listening to Pentatonix you will get the full effects wearing headphones.
someone else may have already told you, but did you know that they formed as a group only 1 day before they started competing in the Sing-off which they won.
Congratulations on entering the amazing black hole that is PTX and on becoming a novice Pentaholic. 😊 There is a playlist on their channel called “A Beginners Guide to PTX” I would recommend starting there. Enjoy your discovery of this 3 GRAMMY winning group. ✌🏻
if you want to hear Kirstin do more singing Rather Be is my favorite that she leads
They did make a change of one member and the quality was not effected. Watch more all of the get an opportunity shine and all are vastly more talented than you know.
Get some headphones!!! Lol I'm sure people have told you already that these PTX videos are amazingly well produced and sound absolutely mind-blowing in headphones. Glad you have become a Pentaholic. Cheers!!
ptx do have a definite chemistry but they have done some good collaborations, notably singing Jolene with Dolly Parton for which they won their third grammy award
You should check out them singing hallalua, it is my favorite. Have heard them in concert twice already. Love your honesty and knowledge of music. Looking forward to monday.
I absolutely love your positivity and genuine ❤️ felt reactions! You're a beautiful person and I look forward to following your journey with us pentaholics! Have a fantastic week, stay safe and healthy! 🤗
PS. Would like to see your reaction to Pentatonix "Mary Did You Know" & their "Daft Punk Medley" (which if you like it, their original song "Love Again" is similar in style!) 🌺
Try Pentatonx version of Hallelujah (Cohen). I also suggest Gold (Kiara). Also, we Pentaholics do in fact suggest you use a headset to really comprehend the beauty of their music. In fact any music will sound better with headphones. Please do more, you are a very good reviewer.
Pentatonix - Perfect is a great cover. Also Pentatonix - Say something or Pentatonix - Shallow if you want to hear more of Kirsten. Great reaction video
New sub, welcome to the Pentaholic nation. 'Imagine' is such a perfect embodiment of both their diversity as a group and the ethic they promote in their music and fandom.
Well said Jay
Hey SJ, thanks for your reaction on this great song. As you are a official Pentaholic now, i would love to see your reaction on the following songs from PTX. „Hallelujah“ - in my opinion their absolutely best one. But for you as a musician, i would recommend the live version. Also a killer is „Sound of silence“ and „Mary did you know“. And also all the other ones... 😂🙈 looking forward to see more of your reactions... 🤗
I always say that they were MEANT to sing together. Scott (Tall blonde) is my favorite. ☺️
Pentatonix- Where are you now-
Gold- Radioactive ft. Lindsey Stirling
Pentaholic is the word and you're one of us now! Welcome to the fandom!
to hear more of Kirstin check out the XMas songs like O come ll ye faithful, little drummer boy and Mary did you know and the solo song she sang for the year of the dog tv show which honored toto from Wizard of Oz and Kirstin sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow
love your enthusiasm and reactions, you do a great job of connecting with us out hear please keep it up :)
React to If I Ever Fall In Love cover by Pentatonix with Jason Derulo or Jolene where they sang with Dolly Parton. You'll see how they highlight another person but still shine in the song.
Fact: Their Jolene cover with Dolly Parton gave their 3rd Grammy. 1st was for their Daft Punk Medley and 2nd for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
If you want to hear Kirstin shine, listen to "Say Something" cover of Big New World & Christina Aguilera.
If you want to dance, "Can't Hold Us" or "Daft Punk Medley".
If you want to hear amazing vocal instrumental "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
In November, you can start doing Christmas song reactions. My favorites "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Mary, Did you Know?", and "Carol of the Bells"
so strong Message, evrey time i listen to this or Halleluja i cry or hane gousbamps
Great reaction! I’m a big Kirstie (the girl) fan, too. She has a rich voice, great breath control and perfect placement in everything she sings. Say Something, Rather Be and Shallow are three songs that really showcase her talent. She also has a prominent part in Hallelujah, which is their most watched TH-cam video (550 million views). The Trio is Kirstie, Scott (blond baritone) and Mitch (counter-tenor) who were friends from a young age. They added Avi (bass) and Kevin (beat boxer) so they could compete on Season 3 of the Sing Off, which they won as a brand new group. Since then they have won 3 Grammys, put out multiple Platinum-selling albums and tour world-wide to sold out arenas. Avi left at the end of 2017 because the touring schedule kept him away from his family too much. He helped them find his replacement, Matt. Enjoy getting to know them.
Stopped by because the crochet behind GPU caught my eye! Lovely Chevron !
Enjoyed your reaction. Subscribed.
😘
No word about the message? Their notes couldn't really be missed, did they? The variety in the group? Different religions, different identities, different origins and all. And they're all human in the end. Wow, I can't believe that there is a review of that song that doesn't spend a single sentence on that.
New Pentaholic? Of course I've subscribed!
Definitely headphones for all PTX videos because you get to appreciate Avi especially a lot more that way.
Also, for the next reaction, their cover of "Hallelujah" is a big classic for all Pentaholics and I highly recommend it!!
So glad I discovered your reactions! I enjoyed sharing these with you - thank you!
