3 Grammy, their name on Hollywood walk of fame, original music and on tour. Mitch has solo music and Scott came out with original called "Mars".
Simon and Garfunkel = A Warning
Disturbed = You didn't listen
PTX = There is still hope
3 different songs
Exactly! Especially Disturbed’s cover. It’s harsh, gloomy, doom. Pentatonix gives us a more cautious, hopeful warning. Even though, I wish we as a society, would have listened, or would listen still.
@@andycofin6983 Yes I won't hold my breath for that last bit. Though like you I wish we would listen. " Hear the sounds of silence. "
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
PopSpring 2016 is a great place to see 3 original and 1 cover. They have an album of originals
Thanks for the reaction, guys! I think that S&G sang it as a warning, Disturbed sang it as anger that the warning hadn't been heeded, PTX sang it as if there's still hope. That's my take on it.
It's been 11 years now since the Sing-Off and the group has made a commitment to another 10 years of sticking together. All of them also have solo projects as well, which helps give them outlets for their personal creativity and prevents stagnation within the group. They've done some really good originals, especially in the last two years. You should check some out...like: Coffee in Bed, Be My Eyes, , Love Again, Run To You.
I agree on the 3 versions. They are all "the best" for different things depending in your mood or general music taste. It's lovely that all of them exist. I can see that the disturbed version is spectacular, but dont enjoy it personally since that level of anger triggers my anxiety. At the level those 3 versions are created it's way more suvjective than some music. A bit futile to compare almost
They have original music. And they've won 3 Grammys.
Beat boxing is EXACTLY the right word.
So fella's. They have almost 6 BILLION views on You Tube. 3 Grammys and let's face it they are the California Roll on the Masked Singer. They have PLEANTY of amazing original songs. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Matt has been bass for Pentatonix since October 2017. Yes, they are on tour now. Tonight they just started the Australia/New Zealand leg of their world tour. Pentatonix has 2 albums of original songs and there are original songs sprinkled in albums with covers. I am familiar with the other 2 versions of the song that had been mentioned and I like the version by Pentatonix best. I am a big time Simon and Garfunkel fan.
Love the original song but I love PTX's cover and is by far the best cover I have heard - The up tempo does not distract from the words of the song or the feel of the song- It starts slow and gradually builds up -- I love Disturbed version too --
Mad World comes a close second.
I don't know if you are aware but Pentatonix just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame a few weeks ago. I think it's safe to say us Pentaholics are very proud of them
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
The song was not meant to be sad. It was a commentary and a warning about where society was heading. PTX just did it in a "powerful" way. Not celebratory or happy. Most people mistake that power with "up tempo cheerfulness". The style was more like "The Lion King" in it's ethnicity. Again not happy or cheerful. Just powerful.
Nice to hear from an OG Pentaholic rediscovering the group. After losing the record contract promised them on the SingOff, PTX built their TH-cam following mostly with a capella covers of current top-forty hits but they also had original songs on most of their albums. But I think it was their 2014 Christmas album that really gave them a popularity boost (they have issued a Christmas album every year since), and their 2015 album of original songs debuted at #1 on the US charts.

They don't do covers... PTX does upgrades!
They were recently nominated for their 4th Grammy Award and got their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year! Not bad! 💖 👍
They were not seasoned when they did the Sing Off. They only got together the day before the Sing Off audition. They took all of the judges tips to heart and were much better by the end of the Sing Off season. They do covers and originals. Recommend them original, Happy Now.
Their originals are wonderful, as are their covers
Thanks for making me feel older than dirt! Grew up with S&G and your bit about 'oh Paul Simon' reminded me of the comment 'Oh McCartney- didn't he have a group called Wings?' 🤦♂ Liked the reaction. Hope to see more PTX from you. You will be flooded with info about the group from we Pentaholics. But just for general overview, the Trio, Scott, Mitch and Kirstie were only 19 when they won the Sing Off, Avi and Kevin only a few years older. They won a recording contract from the show only to have it dropped right after since new management couldn't see a future in a cappella. They went on TH-cam and blasted out their own niche. We think they don't so much covers as upgrades and they do have originals. I recommend PopSpring 2016 concert @ 15 minutes long with 3 originals and the Evolution of Michael Jackson. Very good audio and video. Enjoy the journey.
S and g are the sad version.. disturbeds is the angry, and ptx is the one of hope... thats the difference
Thank you! That makes sense. I can see it. -Philly
Geoff Castellucci just released a new version that seems sorrowful yet still hoping.
This is the song that introduced me to a cappela music. I was looking for the Disturbed version, didn't remember the name of the band and found this instead. It took me quite a while to realize that it was voices only. I couln't believe my eyes and ears and was all "no, this can't be". And PTX also brought me to reaction videos, which then led to Home Free, Voice Play (just to mention the best acappella groups out there), obviously to Ayreon and a ton of other music that I hadn't known before.
Now I know a little more about u, Normora. Thats cool. Im happy you are in here btw. I feel most Nightwish/Ayreon fans we have, only comment in those comments.
We always hope our fans watch everything we post. I mean they may watch, but not as many comments from them. 😁
~ Tazzz ~
I view Simon and Garfunkel version as the warning. Disturbed were the ‘firm’ reminder, and Pentatonix are the Hope.
Pentatonix does not do "covers", they do "upgrades"!
Simon and Garfunkel's rendition is like a warning for ignoring consequences, Disturbed's rendition is the hopeless failure of doing nothing, and the Pentatonics version is like a journey, with periodic enlightened decisions that give hope. It is the same words just given different affect treatment. It's all about what you do, not just what you say. How you react in life determines your eventual outcome. Keep positive!!!
Still popular for sure, they recently were added to the walk of fame.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Yeah!! They do have their own original songs!!
Ptx upgraded this song they are simply the best of doing that to all covers brilliant with their original stuff as well
Guys, Pentatonix does NOT do covers. They do upgrades!
Simon and Garfunkel sang a warning, Disturbed sang angry that we didn't heed the warning, Pentatonix is a hopeful warning
I love all kinds of music.. What makes PTX absolutely outstanding is the fact that they make music without instruments. If you really listen to their upgraded covers and original pieces, it's mind blowing the amount of talent this group has and what they can accomplish. PENTATONIX is the best in the world.
Pentatonix brought an energy of hope to the lyrics. Disturbed interpreted the anger of the message and that we haven't fixed the problem yet. Simon & Garfunkel delivered the original message.
Thank you so much for commenting. We appreciate your support of our channel. ~| Tazzz |~
I have always loved Simon and Garfunkel singing this song and I've listened to the Disturbed version and many more versions, Pentatonix version is hands down my favorite. Their version is filled with more hope than the others but that is what a cover is, they bring something new to something old.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
I completely agree with Philly. Disturbed played this song to the lyrics and this version is so different and much more upbeat. I love them both. It made me realize so vividly that while the lyrics tell the story, the melody and tempo can convey different feelings.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Welcome to the rabbithole!!!! They sing it more dramatic as the original! They do originals too! The covers of the "classics songs" are unique and upgrades!
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
I happened to watch the sing off as well, and I think it's great that they have fulfilled their dream, and gotten as far as they did. This one was a bit too chaotic for me, somehow 'overloaded'. But i love their classics 'The Prayer', 'Hallelujah', 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.
Chaotic?
They're in Japan right now. They have their own songs. Scott just released his single MARS, you might want to take a look at it. It comes in with two versions, one on his own and one with a choir.
Yaaaasssssss
Their original album debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts
I highly dislike when people say the music didn't match the lyrics. Uplifting a sad song is a perfectly legitimate take on a song. Love PTX and Avi. Thanks for showing them love.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Appreciate your honest reaction to the song!
Personally, I don't think of the S&G version as "sad". "Somber" is the word I would use to best describe the original. There have been any number of comparisons between the 3 versions - S&G, Disturbed, and PTX. I don't normally like to compare different versions of a song because that almost inevitably leads to "A is better!" "No, B is better" "You don't know what you're talking about!", etc., etc. Someone came up with this description of the 3 versions well before me, but I tend to agree with it: S&G were sending out a warning, saying this is where we might be headed if we weren't careful. Disturbed was ANGRY that we hadn't paid enough attention to the warning. Pentatonix was saying that we've still got a chance to make changes, all hope isn't lost yet.
@tazzznphilly this description of the 3 songs I was going to post, so I'll just comment here. I see what your saying, but personally I hate the S&G version, it's too fast and choppy. I do want to apologize for any PTX fans that are buttheads about your opinion. We are not all that way. Please react to a couple more songs before you make up your mind about them. Oh, and Tazz, the big reason Avi actually left is his mom had some serious health problems, and he did not want to be on the far side of the world if something happened to her, and he was flying back and forth to help take care of her, and it was completely exhausting for him. So it was completely understandable why he left.
I agree with @ptxlvr7150. Ignore any hateful comments. They are a very small minority. I’ve been PTX about a year after the Sing Off. Been hooked ever since. People like different things. Some people might dislike something and hear later on and it grows on them, or maybe, it doesn’t. PTX has 20 million TH-cam subscribers. They travel the world touring meeting their international fans. The majority of us can listen to a TH-cam and not comment, or, we can respectfully disagree in the comments section . Those that take the negative route, are again the minority.
PTX members have always been humble, kind, incredibly down to earth, and welcoming to their fans. I believe that they would want us to respectfully interact with other people even if we disagree. Honestly, I don’t get why some fans can’t or choose not to.
PTX shows that people from diverse backgrounds CAN still get along, and even thrive despite those differences. So, guy on the right, just ignore the haters. They don’t represent the rest of us.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
They recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
What a wondrous thing. I saw them win on, The Sing Off, and now to know they have reached "Walk of Fame" status is a great thing indeed! Thanks for sharing. ~ Tazzz ~
Seen this one many times. I never get tired of hearing it.
Going to sub for more PTX reactions.
Wonderful I cannot get enough of hearing this song you guys need to listen to shallow!!!!😍💞
They are on tour, in Asia and Australia now, late spring in Europe, in the U.S. this summer. They do have original songs, check out Love Again (with Avi) or Love Me When I Don't (with Matt). They are *awesome* live, I saw them back in December for their 2022 holiday tour. I can't call this "upbeat." It was heartfelt and sad. Check out their cover of Mad World, maybe that's grim enough?
And when they were on The Sing-Off 3 of them (Scott, Kirsten, and Mitch) were only 19/20 years old. All of them were under 25.
👉👉OG fan guy! Loved how much you enjoyed this I'm here for ALL you PTX and PTX related reactions!
👉YES! they are on tour
👉YES! they have A LOT of ORIGINAL songs!
On The Sing Off they were QUITE YOUNG! The Trio (Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch) were 19 the beatboxer was 22 and the bass was 21. They were the youngest group.
👉👉For the friend in the green shirt, Yes it's a beautiful song sung beautifully by Simon and Garfunkel.
In my opinion Disturbed gave it a deeper, dark, lost, hopeless meaning, whereas
PENTATONIX version was more HOPEFUL. Listen to it again and words they emphasize on.
They were RIGHT ON POINT with the meaning of the lyrics.
It like PENTATONIX version there is light and hope at the end when Scott starts at the beginning it's dark, throughout the song you feel the song shift, it gets lighter. There IS hope and a light at the end of the tunnel.
and Disturbed is dark throughout, start to finish.
👉For the OG fan, They are THE ONLY A capella group to win Grammys and last month they made history again by getting a STAR on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame among many many accolades!!!
I just like to close my eyes and listen🌪💚🧢
I love PTX and going to see them in August, Sing is an Original song. Try that one,
While your have the right to your opinion, my opinion is that you are dead wrong. If you listen to the song as PTX sings it, without instruments, they are not "upbeat", they are singing seriously and somberly. PTX does AMAZING things to old songs and new, adding their own spin to them. Just as you have your opinion, this is the way they wanted to handle this classic song. And seeing that they have numerous Grammy's and a Star, well...
Since four members of Pentatonix are now married or engaged and two of them have kids, they aren't touring as extensively as they used to. But the group did meet when they hit their 10th anniversary last year and agreed they wanted to continue. This year they've been touring Asia and Australia all of March. Then they take a break (so they can continue their Masked Singer competition?). Then all of May in Europe, June 3 in Iceland, another break, and the US in August and September. They seem to do most of their song writing and arrangements while they are touring, so we are hoping for some new videos and an album later this year.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Try their original Love Again. Music is subjective to the listener. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. They do have 3 Grammys and a Star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Don’t know about Disturbed but I ‘m not into growling music.
You probably missed out on „Shallow“, „The Prayer“, „Havanna“ and „Amazing Grace“!
First time seeing you react. Thanks Tilly for your love of PTX.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Yes, they are touring, they are in Asia/Australia/New Zealand, then I think they are finishing their interrupted European tour (Due to Covid) - and then.... their USA summer tour! Their original work is very good and they still cover songs (upgrades!).
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
While I love this version, I can understand what Philly is saying. When Simon and Garfunkel sang it, it was done in a manner that fit the time - laid back and kind of somber. When I heard Disturb's version it had a darker tone to it, but look at the world today so it made sense. I see this version as more of a "hopeful" version. The lyrics are the same, but the mannerism almost has a plea or longing tone to it. I love all three versions for different reasons Pentatonix has been singing together for 12 years now. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie were all in choir together in high school and Kevin (beatboxer) and Avi (bass) joined the group 2 days before the show because at least 5 members were required. Avi left in 2017 because being on tour all the time was taking a toll on him and his mother was sick. nominated for 4 Grammys...winning 3 and recently got a star on the Walk of Fame. They have no bad songs...listen to Bohemian Rhapsody to be blown away, Imagine to be inspired, The Prayer for ridiculous talent and anything else they have done!!!! Is a deep rabbit hole and MOST Pentaholics (fan name) respect reactors opinions and turn out in masses!!
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
They still do covers, but they also do Medleys/mash-ups but also their own stuff („Coffee in bed“, „Be my eyes“ etc…)
Please listen to their original music, it's amazing! I recommend happy now, coffee in bed or be my eyes.
I take this version as a bit of a desperate plea to listen rather than "upbeat".
I would highly recommend that you take a look at the “recording of the Evergreen album”. It gives you a really good idea of how they create their sound.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Paul Simon & Art Garfunkel aka Simon & Garfunkel
When they were on the Sing Off Scott, Kirsten and Mitch were only 19 years old and Avi and Kevin in their early 20’s. For being so young, they were incredible! Thanks for the reaction.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
I, personally, don't think PTX covered this song specifically for the lyrics themselves, but what they, only being 5 people, can do to it to make it even more powerful, at the same time, giving us all that ear candy! My top 3 best things...1: Had my son 2: Had my daughter 3: Got to hear PTX perform this song live! Absolutely amazing!!!
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Thanks for a great, open-minded reaction. I also loved S&G and had not heard of Disturbed until I saw the PTX cover and someone mentioned that one. I have since seen it and honestly, I didn't like it at all... Far too dark and hopeless a view. I particularly love PTX's more hopeful rendition of a great song. They are a group of people all about creating hope and connection in the world. Their cover of Imagine is fabulous as well as their fairly newly released song, Prayers For This World. Their originals, Love Me When I Don't, Sing, and Thank You all show that theme.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
I’ve heard the different versions of this described this way, and it rings true for me. The Simon & Garfunkel original was a warning, Disturb’s darker version was saying ‘it’s happening’, and the PTX version is hopeful.
yeah, and I think its accurate
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkle
My dad raised me on Simon & Garfunkel 😍 Pentatonix are doing it justice, but there is just the immense emotional attachment to the original that makes it my favorite 🖤
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Yep their on tour. Be in USA Sept. 2023. thanks guys. Please check out The Recording of Everygreen Thanks
They do amazing tributes of great songs. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody, Freddy would be proud!
PTX is a great group, FYI home free also won that competition God bless
Homefree, Pentatonix and VoicePlay are the trifecta of acapella music. They’re all friends and often collaborate with each other
My children introduced me to PTX around 2012-13 (not sure exactly, but before _Radioactive)_ and like Tazzz I followed them until Avi left, then drifted away. Once I discovered Home Free and VoicePlay I had two a capella groups that were more in my wheelhouse, so I kind of didn't need a more poppy one, no matter how talented (which sounds harsh, but there is limited time to listen to any one kind of music). That said, I still enjoy them when I hear them. Regarding this song in particular I'm with Philly on tempo/tone, though - people have described S&G's original as a warning, and Disturbed's cover as anger at the warning having been ignored, but this doesn't seem to add anything to that discussion. It's a pleasing sound, which definitely has its own worth and it does get a thumbs up from me too, but it's a more cautious thumbs up than many reactions on your channel. I still look forward to hearing more!
So, this was okay, and definitely better than the original, which I’ve been obsessed with since I was a child. But doesn’t hold a candle to Disturb’s version. That could just be me, however, because David’s voice just melts my insides and leaves me a gooey mess on the floor. 😊
Thanks for the reaction and introduction to a talented group.
I love the disturbed version. -Philly
many, many thanks to Simon & Garfunkel, who wrote and recorded this classic 50 years ago ---- allowing Pentatonix, Disturbed and others to re-interpret this powerful song.......
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Absolutely first time, I've ever heard it like disturbed's version better. My version Pentatonix is absolute best version of this. 😊👍
Pretty cool versions, but Im on ur side. Haha! Thanks for commenting, Russell. 😏
~ Tazzz ~
I hope nobody tries to put their claws in this artistic and eloquent man. He is doing great independently and it gives him the freedom he needs to thrive 🎉
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
Good reaction. They are so good! I actually think their original songs (and yes they do have some amazing originals songs) are better than their covers and they're very under-rated. I personally like this better than the Disturbed version as I think it's more emotional. If you want to see something really incredible and moving watch their original Run to you, or their covers of Hallelujah or the Prayer. If you want to hear a bop watch their Grammy winning Daft Punk video. They won the sing-off in 2011 and it was an a cappella competition. They now have three Grammy's and a star (just a few weeks ago) on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Avi was with them from 2011-2017 and Matt has been with them since 2017 so has been with them as long as Avi. They are both phenomenal!
Thanks, Anita! Happy u liked. We recorded Hallelujah last night, but its held on a dumb dispute review...blocked worldwide. Hopefully it will release soon. Annoying it is. 😑
~ Tazzz ~
@@tazzznphilly - yes unfortunately PTX gets blocked frequently - reactors usually need to pause frequently and/or reduce the transparency. Most Pentaholics have seen all their videos many times so don't mind not being able to see them.
@@neetgupta1 thanks for the advice. We personally are not fans of the frequent pauses...maybe we will try transparency. Otherwise it will be available in future when we start memberships. We shall see. Thanks again. ~ Tazzz ~
Hi guys fantastic reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
Thanks, Jukebox. ...and thanks for the donation, Sir! 😁. ~ Tazzz ~
Great stuff love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍
I just subscribed, I really hope you guys react to more Pentatonix.
We plan on it!
New subscriber, with the hope that you will continue with Pentatonix. Welcome back, Tazzz, there’s a lot to discover since 2017, and Philly, looks like you have much more to enjoy. Suggestions are their Daft Punk medley, which won them their first Grammy; Hallelujah, with God only knows how many hundreds of millions of views right now; and maybe Come Along for a fun, boppy song. My favorite originals are probably Coffee in Bed, Anchor and Love Me When I Don’t. Also of note, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Can’t Hold Us, The Prayer, their ‘90s Dance Medley and Havana. I loved the banter between the two of you, so I look forward to seeing more of the channel. I respectively disagree with Philly’s idea of the original S&G version. It’s a lot more bouncy than I remembered. But I must have watched Disturbed’s version 12 times in a row when I first found it. It’s stunning. Peace …
Thank you! We definitely will be. Appreciate you being here
Great reaction. The three in the middle knew each other since childhood. Avi, and the beatboxer, Kevin, joined them just a day or two before the Sing Off auditions over a decade ago, now. Yes, they are on tour right now, currently in Australia. The North American leg of the tour will be starting this Summer. I think of their extensive catalog in approximate thirds, covers (pentaholics prefer the term upgrades, lol), original music, and Christmas music. They have three Grammys, multi-platinum albums, literal billions of TH-cam views, and recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They sell out arenas all over the world and are by all measurez the biggest acapella band on Earth, though there are other very popular ones. I like to think about Sound of Silence this way, Simon and Garfukel was wistfully sad, Disturbed was dark and apocalyptic, Pentatonix was emerging from the darkness with earnest hope. I'm not 100% sure you both understood this was entirely vocal with beatboxing and body percussion. I hope you will entertain the idea of checking out more Pentatonix, and the side projects of each of the members including Avi. It's a very deep rabbit hole, and we love nothing more than to follow reactors down it.
I was around in '64 when Paul Simon wrote this song and he & Art were singing it(granted, I was 5 yrs old in '64😉) and I absolutely loved it! I used to sing it in school, I bought & played their albums("Bridge Over Troubled Water", OMG!) So I understand the "more chill", more melancholy sound of the original, I'd say.
I've listened to Disturbed's cover & wasn't crazy about it at first, it certainly didn't compare to Paul & Art! But then I listened to the Conan video of Disturbed singing it live on his show and I was really moved, I really loved it! Disturbed cover had a despairing, almost jaded, angry feel to it. Did I like it better than the original? No; the original is just that, the original.
That said, I absolutely love Pentatonix (fingers crossed that I get to see them Sept. 16th)! To me, their cover held all of the soberness, even reflected the despair of the situation that Paul alluded to way back in '64 & is even more relevant today, and yet, imo, along with all the gravity that Pentatonix' cover displayed, through their body language & voices there was a sense of pleading almost, a sense of "Pay attention! It's not too late, just take my hand.. just hear my voice, listen to my words.. just wake up and let's fix this while we still can..." Perhaps that pleading, if you will.. that hopefulness that it's not too late came across to the one gentleman as too "upbeat" in light of the lyrics? I don't know... What I can say, just speaking for myself is this~ While I will forever love the original, of all the covers I have ever heard, Pentatonix is by far The Best! 🩷 I appreciate both gentlemen's take on this song, even if I respectfully(tho' wholeheartedly) disagreed with the one on the right of my screen. Thanks for your reactions & now I will hit subscribe.😉
Thanks for this amazing comment, Robin. Enjoyed reading it. Thanks also for subscribing. 😁
~ Tazzz ~
I just thought of a video to react to. On their Instagram and tiktok they recently put out a video of them rehearsing my heart with you. Very raw and lovely. And shows Matts lovely bass well.
In general, catch up on their stuff from the last 5 years. Some lovely things in there
I've heard the critisism of the tone and I get it. But I see it more as defiant than happy. A "you cant beat us down" kind of hope in the middle of the battle. Most of us can handle a negative but respectful opinion (some better than others haha)
I love Tazzz pride of them. I get it.
Would love to see you react to more of their newer stuff
Please react to their original song, 'Love Again' It's amazing. I am a huge Pentatonix fan.
If you like this reaction I would love to hear your reaction to Geoff Castellucci,s just released cover of the same
Thank you so much. It means a lot. We appreciate your support of our channel. 😏 ~| Tazzz |~
I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel and never thought of this song as sad. Serious, definitely. In terms of tempo, I think the S&G version was actually a bit faster, with a driving guitar beat. However, you are not alone in preferring a simpler guitar-and-voices arrangement to the more complex Pentatonix sound. Pentatonix fans hear complaints all the time that their arrangements just aren't as heartfelt or emotional because of their complexity. It's just a matter of taste.

Sorry to see your other PTX got blocked. Other reaction videos either fade the video to almost nothing or put a graphic over the top. Maybe pause to discuss frequently. These are only suggestions that I've seen/heard other reactors do.
PTX has pretty stringent rules for reactors. Eventually, they all figure out they have to stop the video frequently to comment.

You should react to the Prayer. They give that a major upgrade!
I like all the covers versions But nothing beats KD Lang's version
Listen how carefully Mitch enunciate his words.
Philly.. re listen to Simon and Garfunkel's version. It is about hope for the forgotten. I saw S&G in person, that is what they said. Hope for the future. The forgotten one would be remembered. Disturbed's version was just to dark.
Yea that’s fair. I like the original but really connected w disturbs version alot for whatever reason -Philly
@@tazzznphilly Now this is a joke... one of my husbands favorites. Opinions are like a$$holes everyone has one and they usually stink. I thought with your sense of humor you would enjoy it.
♥️
Uptempo ≠ cheerful. That being said, there is a distinct difference between all three.
I disagree that S&G intended it to be sad. I think it was more a narrative about where society is heading. Disturbed’s version was the heaviest one. I appreciate it, but personally that was the depressing version. It feels hopeless. The PTX version feels a little more powerful/ hopeful. Like we can change the narrative, we can change the path if we don’t like what we see. But, to me, hopeful is not the same as happy.
Well said, Cellokimmy. Appreciate it. Speaking of cello....we just reacted to a song by Epica featuring Apocalyptica.....the last name group all play cellos. Very cool check it out. ~ Tazzz ~
@@tazzznphilly I enjoy apocolyptica. I’ll have to check that out.
This is the hopeful version of this fantastic song. Pick any PTX song whether it be a cover or an original and they have a heap of them to choice from for an eargasm.
Lolololol, Jo. I use that word eargasm also. Too funny. 🤣. Yes, they can SING....love their interpretations. ~ Tazzz ~
Go through their Sing Off performances to get an idea of where they came from. I’ll watch every single one!
Oh, i watched EVERY performance they had on, The Sing Off. Lol, i wish we were able to vote on that show...then "I" could have said I helped create them, lol. Thanks for commenting, Brittany. ☺️😁

(Adam) Chance from Home Free has a cover of this with The Hound and the Fox. Peter Hollens also did a cover of this with Tim Foust from Home Free. It’s are very good.
Home Free won The Sing-Off the season after Pentatonix.
You need to listen to the original 1965 Simon and Garfinkel song!
Yes, Pentatonix won Sing-Off. They won a record contract but the record company canceled the contract because they couldn’t categorize them and didn't knoww what to do with them.
😮. Oh wowwwwwww! I didn't know that. Thank GOODNESS that Pentatonix got on their feet, and someone found them a record deal to grow successful with.
Thanks for that intel, and ur support, Susan. 😁
Actually the original record company was bought out, the new company (Sony) did not think they could make money off of acapella,, and dropped them. But then when they had a couple of video's go viral, (and I believe but could be wrong on this part I'm not sure which happened first, but I know it was after some viral video's proved they could make money) they won a Grammy, Sony used a division of Sony Music, SME to resign them. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that.
Please react to voiceplay too it s an another a capella group
I recommand you voiceplay Metallica Nothing else matters please please

Pentatonix recently got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A lot of sad songs have been done with an up Tempo, for instants the Original Mad World by Tears For Fears, who Pentatonix done the slow version and yes Pentatonix have plenty of original music, which I find is better than their copies.

If you enjoyed this version, please check out the version by Disturbed. The official music video, not the live from Conan O’Brien, it wasn’t as good. I enjoy your reactions. ❤
Bang on reaction.
It hasn’t got the depth, but great singers.
What depth?
I still think the original is the best version.
Not to be cliche, but now, you MUST do Pentatonis Hallelujah - th-cam.com/video/LRP8d7hhpoQ/w-d-xo.html
Philly I think you are way off with your thoughts and that disturbs me.
Lol sorry that sounds more like a you issue 🤷♂️
@Tazzz N Philly l don't think so. There rendition was very respectful and. Emotional. It leaves you with hope, not doom like disturb
