This is very early PTX. Check out the date. They were just barely scratching along. SME was obligated to keep them on, since they'd just won the SingOff, but the new CEO of Epic didn't want them, so Sony shuffled them down to Madison Gate which basically does Broadway and other odds and ends. The record they mention was with MG. Then they made this, recorded it in the closet of the place Avi and Kevin were renting and shot the video in the kitchen. Their first Grammy cost them $400. Half of that probably went for the blue contacts. Once that went viral RCA asked SME if they could pick them up. And the rest is history, as they say. Their discography is extensive. Their voices have continued to develop as has the complexity of their arrangements. 39
Shot live using an iPad in Avi’s (the bass) closet. Spent $400 for makeup and costumes. This info is from Scott when they received their first Grammy at the Awards ceremony. Did do some other work in Avi’s kitchen. No auto-tune, no special effects. Just the 5 of them and their extraordinary talent!
Kevin and Avi is so incredible with putting together bass sounds and percussion sounds they fill up so much of the music. They definitely deserved their grammy for this arangment.
I love, love, love your reactions. Your enthusiasm for musical discovery melts my heart and makes me SO happy that there are still folks out there who are curious, searching, and learning beyond what they already know. Keep posting! (And I agree with Rodri - "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" will have your jaw on the floor.)
Just discovered you, welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. I would love to see your reaction to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I know you will enjoy it. BTW - Home Free is another acapella group that you would find full of "ear candy." From them, Man of Constant Sorrow, Ring of Fire (with Avi the bass from PTX), and How Great Thou Art would be good places to start (please save Mayday for when you know everyone in the group and their usual talents...trust me). Their genre leans more country (with substantial crossover) and their work is just as incredible. I've found that those that are fans of one are usually fans of both. Thanks and Enjoy!
I have been following PTX since they were on The Sing Off. Fell in love with them then, the group is different but still just as good with the change of the bass from Avi to Matt
Marvelous reaction ! They also won a Grammy for Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES, which has NO words ! The more you try their songs, the more you will be amazed ! They have new stuff out now, too, done in quarantine ! You'll have so much fun. Thank you for trying their powerful, passionate performances !
Link for that! The "processing" involved in this is maybe some sound leveling? That's about it, as you'll see from the off-mic performance. th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html
@@amandaw6872 True. It's hard to hear Avi (bass), which is normal when you're watching a fan video and they're singing without mics. But it's obvious that they don't need much magic from the producer.
The linked performance was shot with a cell phone. That mike doesn't have much of a dynamic range yet it is the same performance as the official TH-cam video!
@@amandaw6872 Oh wow thanks so much for that! I've seen most of their vids, but never stumbled upon this one yet. It's fantastic to see it live... I mean, I know it's all vocals, but still seems an impossible feat... and yet it sounds the same in this one! Thanks for sharing!
You should listen to him do it live, they really sound like that. I’ve heard it in real life myself. It is unreal. Also at the end to say thank you for your reaction, it’s obvious that you find true joy in music and yourself fun and expressive about it. Thank you.
❤️ this reaction. Since Christmas is coming up Mary Did You Know would be a great next one or Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies (2nd Grammy winning song).
If you like this you should check out their original song called Love Again! It's soooooo mindblowingly good 😊 it is a similar vibe and concept but it is more of a Cyberpunk or cyber goth style!
Daft Punk is my favorite PTX song. It does make you want to dance. I have never seen you react to a song with so much joy & happiness. Thank you for your review; made me happy!
Eventually you will forget that they are an acapella group and just be amazed at how awesome they are, instruments or not. Isn’t it fun to have your 🤯 mind blown. I’m new here and am enjoying…so off to another.
Thank you for reacting to PTX. I love them. It was fun watching you watch them. More PTX reactions please.They have many, many songs/videos that will blow your mind.
I loved your reaction. I understand how you thought they processed their vocals for the electronic effects, because I thought the same. Until I searched for a live version and saw that they did it all just with their voices. Blew my mind. They say they do nothing that they could not do live.
Welcome to Pentatonix! I mentioned when they posted their 12 Days of Christmas video recently not only how incredible this group is, but they work hard and are extremely creative with their choreography, arrangements, and production value. And like SteveK mentioned, this is some of their early stuff. One of my favorites for pure production value is Bohemian Rhapsody.
Another song that gives that hard bass edm sound is their original first hit "Love Again". Kevin gets me dancing my butt off everytime I hear him first drop that bass. It's unbelievable. A song they do that may bring you to tears, is their cover of "Mary Did You Know?" I get emotional every time they reach the peak of that song.
9/10 people who react to this say that if they weren't seeing it performed a capella, they wouldn't believe it. They even did this song IN CONCERT!!!!!
There is also a studio version of this, with PTX in street clothes and no video effects. It shows them creating this exact performance in the pure form. You'd love it too.
Brilliant 'reaction' Avi (bass) and Kevin (beat boxer) are magicians....Avi's killer bass and his other tricks (swishing sounds etc) and Kevins non stop drums etc made this unbelievable production world class. the trio are of course just as brilliant. Filmed individually in a closest then added effects of ring lights and steam from kitchen...lol Paid $400 to have it edited...and bam! Emmy number 1. they are just that good. Why not go on their journey from winning Sing Off....and watch the magic of PTX come to life
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks. :) One of my favorite things to watch reactions to is their Aha live at the Star Vista, so big recommends for that one!
This may be my favorite PTX video; not coincidentally it was the first I watched & when I was flattened by the Avi-lanch. 🤓 Great nostalgia watching this with you, thanks!
It is amazing how big and full a sound these talented vocalist can to a song. I don't think I have ever heard them do something I didn't love. I love their studio work, but I am really impressed with their 'Live' performances. I am also impressed with how they stay together and keep going. After a few years people tend to get tired of each other, start getting jealous of some one else's ______ fill in the blank. I am glad for their continued success, and grateful that their timing was so perfect to be there when the "Pitch Perfect" movies came out. Their appearance in the second movie as the Canadian contingent was perfect. You really need to get back to Daneliya Tuleshova. She just got done with an appearance on AGT where she made the finals. Then they gave her the 'Bum's Rush' after she made it to the finals, much like they did to Angelina Jordan. Anyway, her first cover after AGT was a cover of a Birdy song, 'Not About Angels' from the movie, "The Fault In Our Stars" I think that was the name. Daneliya did such a beautiful job on this song, in fact, and I'm not lying, I am crying just thinking about it. I will not lie I have been under this young lady's spell since two notes into her performance of 'Stone Cold'. I cannot explain what it really was like, but I get close when I say her singing struck me like an emotional lightening bolt to my heart. I have tried to maintain an equal balance between my three favorite singers. The other two being Angelina Jordan and Morissette. Morissette is the best vocalist on the face of the planet today. Angelina Jordan who is going to bring Jazz back into popular music. All three of these young women are fabulous in their own right, but Daneliya has had my heart since the first two notes of 'Stone Cold' came out of her mouth. I implore you to listen to the song I mentioned. You could even listen to the original artist Birdy, a young Canadian singer/songwriter who is a talented songwriter and a very good singer, but she is not Daneliya. Listen to the two of them and see if you agree. Thanks for your reaction.
If you want to see what they can do with this song without a studio there is a video of them off mic for a private performance. Look it up and you'll see this is just what they can do.
This feels to me as my best friends wedding between century old a capella song tradition and a high techno hip hop video clip disco happening as an impossible to top this... ecclectic alchemixture...
This was one of their first videos they did after winning Sing Off and you mentioned some "processing" of their voice which is likely true with Daft Punk. However if you watch their live stuff and their Sing Off competitions you'll quickly find that they don't need processing to make the sounds they are making. Specific in Radio Star contemplation they stagger their voices to make them sound mechanical and skipping like a record. They are incredible and I'm thrilled you've found them.
I've been waiting for you to do another reaction! Glad you did. I guess your book took up alot of time. Congrats on that. Mine did. So you have much to catch up on. Since your last reaction of PTX they have 2 new songs out. Happy Now and Be My Eyes. Thanks...Stay Safe!
You were talking about how long it would have taken to put something like this together you should watch the season of the Sing Off where they only had one week to take a song and make it theirs. They also won that competition.
As a PTX fan that just is a stickler for details and truly means no disrespect to any other fan, I always want the new fans to understand the truth when reading the comments about their 'Daft Punk' reaction. Pentatonix won their first of their three Grammy's for 'Best Arrangement Instrumental or a Cappella' for the song, not having anything to do with the video. Of course the Video story and how it was made is almost as compelling. But again for all the NEW Pentaholics out there... They won the Grammy for the Arrangement of the Song... not the Video.
I had to stop in the middle of my comment so this is part 2. You are 1 of my top reactors because you show your emotion and you get involved with the video. You said it makes you feel like dancing so get up and dance. Pentatonix does All Sorts of Music ranging from the serious as in hallelujah to those that are fun and creative. When they had the grid up and Was a flashing their faces on there actually singing two songs. Some of their videos do have behind the scenes Video.They also teamed up with todrick hall, and extremely extremely talented artist, to do the wizard of ahhhs. This is I guess the word might be whimsical but that's not quite right. It's a video Of the wizard of Oz but with their spin on iit. With each part being song with different songs from other artists. Each song pairs itself with each new scene. Mitch the 1st guy to sing and Scott the second guy to sing also Have their own group called super fruit. Avi the bass With the beard and mustache is with the band until 2017 when he leaves on very friendly terms and Matt stepped in to fill his shoes. If you watch The live version of aha at Singapore you will hear how low Avi can go that he actually blew out a speaker. Love again is another real good video And that is an original song. Awhile back they released happy now which is also an original and just lately be my eyes which is an original song. Since I know you Really like queen Pentatonix has done a cover of bohemian rhapsody that Freddie would be very proud of. In fact Brian May contacted them and said that he really liked it. The Other song that they won a Grammy is dance of the sugar plum fairy. If you watch that You'll hear just how low Avi can go and how high Mitch can go. Since you are the Only reactor of the ones I watch who comments on location of the video, t he technicality of shooting the video you would really appreciate how they did dance of the sugar plum fairy. For an extremely powerful message delivered in an extremely powerful manner with absolute perfect harmonies watch there cover of imagine. Sound of silence is another Real popular cover. They also Not too long ago release there cover of madworld and They have put their own spin on it and again you would really appreciate how the video was shot. They recorded blinding lights during quarantine so each member is in their own home doing their part of the song and then it was edited and put together as 1 video. They also have 1 they did during quarantine And I think it's titled home And it is also a mash up Of a lot of songs.Q
YES😀YES😀YES😀 I Have been waiting for you to do another Pentatonix. Of lost count of how many times I've watched hallelujah. As people said this was done with $400 in Ivy's kitchen And recorded in a closet And it was them A Grammy. Pentatonix is THE acapella 8
Next time or two (or six) that you listen, listen for some of the fun things Avi does on the bass line that sounds like sliding the hand up and down the neck of the bass guitar. The synchronized runs. Kevin's crazy good beatboxing. Then at the end when they neatly fit all the songs together. Every time I listen I hear something new.
Pentatonix has done electronic covers from the beginning. You should, for your own enjoyment and education, review their appearances on The Singoff season 3. It gives a real perspective on where they came from.
Sound of Silence, Mary Did You Know, and Imagine are also excellent! You really can't go wrong. If you want to hear Kevin play cello, checknout Shallow!
Great reaction 😁😁 please react to more Pentatonix. Their cover of “Gold” and “Imagine” and “Dance of the Sugar plum fairy” and “Sound of Silence” are really good and many many more
Just so you know. They made this video at home in a kitchen and in a closet + only spend 400 dollars on everything needed to make this. Also they won their first out of 3 Grammys so far. Try React to any one of their Evolutions songs/Medleys, they are all done live and raw.
If you want another one that is just plain creative and fun, you should react to Todrick Hall's "Wizard of Ahhhs" featuring Pentatonix. Kirstin is the featured voice and just does a phenomenal job as Dorothy and both witches. Also, Avi hits one of his lowest notes ever.
There's a video online of them doing a personal performance of this song in what looks like the Green room just standing up in front of a group of people and it sounds exactly the same
okay time to get some "Home Free" love. Check Out constant Sorrow. Once again all vocal, and NO post-processing. what you here is the reverb on the mic itself of there own control

Their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is an essential experience.
they won a gramy for this one. it was made in Avi's and Kevins apartment for $400 total cost.
This is very early PTX. Check out the date. They were just barely scratching along. SME was obligated to keep them on, since they'd just won the SingOff, but the new CEO of Epic didn't want them, so Sony shuffled them down to Madison Gate which basically does Broadway and other odds and ends.

Wait so RCA asked SME if they could pick them up, but presumably SME said no? Because they are still with SME right?
@@pjschmid2251 No, SME owns RCA.
Grammy was for the arrangement
Their cover of The Sound of Silence and Mary Did You Know are two of their other epic soul crunching songs.
Along with Hallelujah.
Add in Mad World, When the Party's Over, and a goody but oldie Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, worth your imput.
@@robynnegraham1986 I'm loving Happy Now these days.
I like sound of silence was amazing and tbe vocals in can u feel the love tonight is absolutle beautiful
The Sound of Silence touched my soul ❤️
I recommend you to react to "dance of the sugar plum fairy" they won another Grammy with that song, there's not singing but you'll bee blow away
Absolutely!
Well, there IS singing, but just not words beyond "ba dah dum dum".
YES! It's such an amazing arrangement. Basically like the Swingle Singers' stuff.
I recommend their version of Imagine. It will make you cry.
I was given "The Beggar" as a birthday gift a few months ago, Highly recommended.

'Love again' is an original has a similar vibe and is awesome.
Kevin and Avi is so incredible with putting together bass sounds and percussion sounds they fill up so much of the music. They definitely deserved their grammy for this arangment.

I second all of that!!!
They sound just as perfect doing this song in person. Looking forward to your next Pentatonix reaction.
I found myself smiling while watching your reaction through the whole song. Thanks, I needed that!
Just discovered you, welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. I would love to see your reaction to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. I know you will enjoy it.
BTW - Home Free is another acapella group that you would find full of "ear candy." From them, Man of Constant Sorrow, Ring of Fire (with Avi the bass from PTX), and How Great Thou Art would be good places to start (please save Mayday for when you know everyone in the group and their usual talents...trust me). Their genre leans more country (with substantial crossover) and their work is just as incredible. I've found that those that are fans of one are usually fans of both.
Thanks and Enjoy!
Your reactions are so fun. It’s more fun to watch a new person discovering them than anything!
The bass in this video, Avi, now makes some really amazing solo music. I would recommend Change on the Rise for an intro to his solo work.
Change On The Rise is an excellent song!
Avi Kaplan has several that are absolutely fantastic.
@@mewzetm8928 TOTALLY AGREEE
I love your reactions to Pentatonics!! Your expressions are almost visceral. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
I have been following PTX since they were on The Sing Off. Fell in love with them then, the group is different but still just as good with the change of the bass from Avi to Matt
Marvelous reaction ! They also won a Grammy for Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRIES, which has NO words !
The more you try their songs, the more you will be amazed ! They have new stuff out now, too, done in quarantine ! You'll have so much fun.
Thank you for trying their powerful, passionate performances !
They do a live version in the green room ... nothing but voice...it's intense
Thanks, i'll have to check it out:)
Link for that! The "processing" involved in this is maybe some sound leveling? That's about it, as you'll see from the off-mic performance.

Daft Punk is my favorite PTX song. It does make you want to dance. I have never seen you react to a song with so much joy & happiness. Thank you for your review; made me happy!
There's a great comment in another reaction to this....
Everyone - An acapella group can't do EDM
PTX - Hold our beers
pretty much sums it up.
I love watching you dance in your chair. It makes me so happy.
This is awesome! I just KNEW you would love it! Your Face!!!!! LOVE YOUR REACTION!!!! $400 in a closet & a kitchen! LOL!!!
So happy you're doing this one. Thanks man! Super reaction!!
They have so many that you would love like Can't hold Us, 90's dance medley, and Wizard of ahhs.
Pentatonix Imagine for me is the most beautiful thing on this earth. Absolutely worth checking it out.
Eventually you will forget that they are an acapella group and just be amazed at how awesome they are, instruments or not. Isn’t it fun to have your 🤯 mind blown. I’m new here and am enjoying…so off to another.
Everyone I've ever spoken with, who has seen them live, says they are just as good, or better live.
Thank you for reacting to PTX. I love them. It was fun watching you watch them. More PTX reactions please.They have many, many songs/videos that will blow your mind.
I loved your reaction. I understand how you thought they processed their vocals for the electronic effects, because I thought the same. Until I searched for a live version and saw that they did it all just with their voices. Blew my mind. They say they do nothing that they could not do live.
Just purchased your book and beginning to read. Like your reactions, btw.
Welcome to Pentatonix! I mentioned when they posted their 12 Days of Christmas video recently not only how incredible this group is, but they work hard and are extremely creative with their choreography, arrangements, and production value. And like SteveK mentioned, this is some of their early stuff. One of my favorites for pure production value is Bohemian Rhapsody.
You really need to watch their cover of Amazing Grace - beautiful scenery and goes straight to the heart💖
Another song that gives that hard bass edm sound is their original first hit "Love Again". Kevin gets me dancing my butt off everytime I hear him first drop that bass. It's unbelievable.
A song they do that may bring you to tears, is their cover of "Mary Did You Know?" I get emotional every time they reach the peak of that song.
They recorded it in a closet and filmed in a kitchen, for their first Grammy
Sound of silence next please! Love your reaction :)
just subbed to your channel, can't wait to see your next Pentatonix reaction, there is a live version of this and they sound just alike.
9/10 people who react to this say that if they weren't seeing it performed a capella, they wouldn't believe it. They even did this song IN CONCERT!!!!!
You need to listen to them live.
Thank you for disciplining yourself (with the little slaps)! Haha! Your book sounds interesting. It’s gonna go on my list!
There is also a studio version of this, with PTX in street clothes and no video effects. It shows them creating this exact performance in the pure form. You'd love it too.

Okay but what about Mitch? His voice is like...fiction, because NO WAY.
What an awesome unique plug! Great reaction too :)
Love your reactions...they’re the best!
I've never seen you "bop" so much to a song lol--I do the same thing every time I hear this--it cheers me up. Thanks for the great reaction! xo
Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks. :) One of my favorite things to watch reactions to is their Aha live at the Star Vista, so big recommends for that one!
You should also check out their collab with Todrick Hall of "Wizard of Ahhhs" and their "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" and "Love Again". Awesome!
love a bit of dad dancing !!!!!
I would recommend "Man of Constant Sorrow" covered by Home Free. They are another absolutely amazing acapella group!!
Avi's bass is amazing. In my opinion, it's his bass lines that drive this song.
Totally agree
This may be my favorite PTX video; not coincidentally it was the first I watched & when I was flattened by the Avi-lanch. 🤓 Great nostalgia watching this with you, thanks!
Absolutely you must react to Bohemian Rhapsody!
There's a video of them performing this in a private setting, no speakers or microphones! Amazing! 💕
They have a lot of Christmas songs. ALL are really good!
It is amazing how big and full a sound these talented vocalist can to a song. I don't think I have ever heard them do something I didn't love. I love their studio work, but I am really impressed with their 'Live' performances. I am also impressed with how they stay together and keep going.

Listen to the two of them and see if you agree. Thanks for your reaction.
If you want to see what they can do with this song without a studio there is a video of them off mic for a private performance. Look it up and you'll see this is just what they can do.
Love your reactions!!!
I love how absolutely genuinely giddy you were to see this!! Haha
I love your enthusiasm!
You need to listen to their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody". It will knock your socks off........
Loved your reaction!
You're reaction is the best I've seen in a while. Can't wait for you to hear Bohemian Rhapsody and Imagine. We know you'll love it!
This feels to me as my best friends wedding between century old a capella song tradition and a high techno hip hop video clip disco happening as an impossible to top this... ecclectic alchemixture...

PTX JUST Released their rendition of "Amazing Grace"
I've been waiting for you to do another reaction! Glad you did. I guess your book took up alot of time. Congrats on that. Mine did. So you have much to catch up on. Since your last reaction of PTX they have 2 new songs out. Happy Now and Be My Eyes. Thanks...Stay Safe!
What Phil below said, Also Imagine is amaaaaaazzzzziiinnnngggg.
Time to come back to Pentatonix, “Amazing Grace”, best I ever heard.
You were talking about how long it would have taken to put something like this together you should watch the season of the Sing Off where they only had one week to take a song and make it theirs. They also won that competition.
Pentatonix won their first Grammy for this!
As a PTX fan that just is a stickler for details and truly means no disrespect to any other fan, I always want the new fans to understand the truth when reading the comments about their 'Daft Punk' reaction.

You need to watch their ‘ sound of silence’ , so amazing
You have a permanent smile on your face! LOL

Since you are the Only reactor of the ones I watch who comments on location of the video, t
he technicality of shooting the video you would really appreciate how they did dance of the sugar plum fairy. For an extremely powerful message delivered in an extremely powerful manner with absolute perfect harmonies watch there cover of imagine. Sound of silence is another Real popular cover. They also Not too long ago release there cover of madworld and They have put their own spin on it and again you would really appreciate how the video was shot. They recorded blinding lights during quarantine so each member is in their own home doing their part of the song and then it was edited and put together as 1 video. They also have 1 they did during quarantine And I think it's titled home And it is also a mash up Of a lot of songs.Q
YES😀YES😀YES😀 I Have been waiting for you to do another Pentatonix. Of lost count of how many times I've watched hallelujah. As people said this was done with $400 in Ivy's kitchen And recorded in a closet And it was them A Grammy. Pentatonix is THE acapella

How ‘bout those minor 9th chords at the beginning? Avi does overtone whistle singing a great deal throughout Kirstie’s solo.
Next time or two (or six) that you listen, listen for some of the fun things Avi does on the bass line that sounds like sliding the hand up and down the neck of the bass guitar. The synchronized runs. Kevin's crazy good beatboxing. Then at the end when they neatly fit all the songs together. Every time I listen I hear something new.
Pentatonix has done electronic covers from the beginning. You should, for your own enjoyment and education, review their appearances on The Singoff season 3. It gives a real perspective on where they came from.
Sound of Silence, Mary Did You Know, and Imagine are also excellent! You really can't go wrong. If you want to hear Kevin play cello, checknout Shallow!
They won a Grammy with this one.
tThey won a Grammy for this. No wonder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
more Pentatonix please.....Can't Hold Us......Imagine.......Evolution of Michael Jackson
You should watch them do this live. I think you will be even more blown away.
Love your reaction 😅❤
Great reaction 😁😁 please react to more Pentatonix. Their cover of “Gold” and “Imagine” and “Dance of the Sugar plum fairy” and “Sound of Silence” are really good and many many more
Fyi: this song just gave them their first grammy 😊😊
Just so you know. They made this video at home in a kitchen and in a closet + only spend 400 dollars on everything needed to make this. Also they won their first out of 3 Grammys so far. Try React to any one of their Evolutions songs/Medleys, they are all done live and raw.
If you want another one that is just plain creative and fun, you should react to Todrick Hall's "Wizard of Ahhhs" featuring Pentatonix. Kirstin is the featured voice and just does a phenomenal job as Dorothy and both witches. Also, Avi hits one of his lowest notes ever.
Great reaction!
They filmed this in their closet for $400. This won them their first Grammy! Have you done their Bohemian Rhapsody yet? It's great!
Looking forward to you reacting to more Pentatonix Sounds of Silence, Mary Did you Know, Bohemian Rhapsody. .anything really.
There's a video online of them doing a personal performance of this song in what looks like the Green room just standing up in front of a group of people and it sounds exactly the same
okay time to get some "Home Free" love. Check Out constant Sorrow. Once again all vocal, and NO post-processing. what you here is the reverb on the mic itself of there own control
