- After experiencing Pentatonix for the first time a few days ago with their version of Hallelujah -- which BLEW me away -- I've noted the various recommendations from subscribers, and decided to check out Sound of Silence. Needless to say, to those of you who know this a cappella group, they didn't disappoint.

New guy is Matt. He is immensely talented. We all miss Avi, but love Matt for what he brings.
Absolutely. Both are immensely talented,
Perfectly said.
Yeah, it's true...and I'm a pretty big Avi booster...if I had one nitpick, I feel like Matt has a more traditional operatic projection at full voice full blend. But that can evolve.
I thought Avi was a much better fit in the group. His bass voice sounded much more natural. With Matt I often have the feeling that his voice is electronically pitched down.
I agree, Avi sounds warmer, and Matt brighter, but both sound gorgeous.
Your description of the harmony structure was spot on. It's hard to put into words just how incredible their arrangements and execution are, but you managed to capture it well. You are right that there has to be a delicate balance of singing and listening to produce the balance and fullness that Pentatonix consistently accomplishes. There is nothing wasted and nothing gratuitous in their arrangements. Every note, pause, crescendo, breath, beat, and moment has a purpose. I am dumbfounded by the amount of talent each individual member has and how as a group they transcend all expectations and assumptions of what an acapella group can be.
Thank you for mentioning their incredible skill at actively listening to, not simply hearing one another. That is a huge part of what they use to get their perfect end result.
In the history of PTX, Scott sings bass when Avi or Matt do not, which shows just how talented they all are. ❤️
I watch a lot of Pentatonix reaction videos, and you are one of the best reactors to their videos. I can see the pure joy and delight in your face and eyes when watching and listening to these videos. I love it. :)
Thank you so much. I'm just thrilled to have found them...:)
I love a man who loves a cappella - the purest music there is. The joy in your eyes and on your face is just what I feel. Thank you!
Scott was the one in Hallelujah that held up the background bass while Avi (then, the bass) sang his solo part. This one has Matt, the new bass. Mitch and Kirstin always have a new look..
Great summary of necessary newbie info 😁 everyday I see a new reactor in amazed that there are people out there that haven't seen PTX.
Please watch Imagine. They add an even better message to the already wonderful message of the song.
And all 5 of them have solo parts. You will get to hear Kevin's lovely tenor.
Have to agree with that. Watching that video I cry everytime. Totally amazon.
Yes!!!!! Watch and please react to pentatonix imagine video!!!!!! Wear headphones ❤ it's an amazing experience! Ps: Matt is the new guy who replaced avi.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeees!
Yes, please do. Imagine is pretty phenomenal.
Pure hedonic delight whilst watching your reaction to this wonderfully harmonic group Lukas. Always a thrill to share in your enjoyment and feel uplifted - music transcends all languages and touches your heart and soul. Always a joy , thank you.
FYI: you should always try listen to pentatonix with headphones
I agree completely!!!!!! Headphones let you hear it all!!!!!
Especially helps you get all of Avi or Matt’s contribution
In the absence of excellent studio monitors or good speakers, headphones are a must!
Very true. The surround sound makes it better
I totally agree. You get to really enjoy them that way
There's a reason they got Grammies. Very deserved, my favourite a capella group. Thanks for reacting to them
You will never be disappointed in PTX. You obviously love nuances, creativity and smart arrangements. They practice a lot and love what they do. True artists. Every song they do highlights their individual and collective talent. They also have a great sense of humour and a silliness that is fun and refreshing. Yes, you will enjoy the ride. 🤗
Pentatonix they get me every time i listen. i mean there voices just hit you right in your soul. i cry every time i listen to them.
If you watch closely you can see that Scott is singing the base part while the base is singing in any song that the base has a higher register solo.
FYI:
In music, the word is PRONOUNCED base, but it’s spelled BASS.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 I don't really care TBH just wanted to get my point across. I've played French Horn for ten years but I don't think the spelling of base and bass is really necessary for a youtube comment. But have fun dude whatever floats your boat.
These five wonderful young people may have taught the angels how to sing!
Hello Lukas. It is such a joy watching a new "Pentaholic" discovering and appreciating the depth and breadth of their incredible talent. They are all brilliant and gifted in their own ways so prepare for a wonderful journey as you watch and listen to the sizable catalogue of their work.
Their harmonies are heart piercing. I think I played it on loop the first two days.
I would love to see your reaction to Disturbed's video version of The Sound of Silence! They give a visual interpretation of the song that is quite deep, stirring and soul moving! It seems to have so much meaning for these times right now!
I'm so glad you've found Pentatonix! I've been a PTX fan from the beginning and you're in for an absolutely fabulous ride as you tour their videos! Please continue to post your reactions to them! I love seeing your passion and appreciation of the videos you react to! It's fun experiencing them with you! You're great at this! Stay safe! 💜
The way you described their harmonies... is why I feel they sound like what I imagine angels would sound like
great reaction!
and can we acknowledge what a great, sexy reactor he is?
PS. I've been a fan of your work for quite some time but it's sooooo cool to actually listen to you talking about stuff (in this case music)
ppzav :) Thank you for saying. More to come.
I've always been impressed with that fact that they make most of the songs feel like they aren't a Capella! Just such a full sound, they are beautiful! Thanks for another great reaction! Love your genuine input! :D
My favourite reactor to pentatonix so far and you have only reacted to two songs, keep reacting and I think you will be as popular as them
dawn fox thank you for saying!
I've been watching a lot of PTX reaction videos this quarantine time, and so far you're one of my new favourites! love your reactions!
Spaceydoodle thx so much
It's kinda hard to be disappointed in anything they do... Daft Punk was one they won a Grammy on and they recorded it in a kitchen closet! (And yes ALL of it is only them and no electronics..)
wow
@@lukashasselNY They're still performing Daft Punk live too, this is a fancam from a concert last year! th-cam.com/video/vz4CFeWBiEQ/w-d-xo.html
Appreciate your depth of listening. Many people just hear the surface stuff but there is so much depth underneath it’s almost impossible to hear everything at once. I’ve listened to these over and over and I still catch little things I have missed before. Keep listening!
Your entire reaction is about the music and how each part affects you and you do this without getting distracted. That’s why I have thoroughly enjoyed the two you’ve done so far. I’m looking forward to seeing you do the next one. Thanks.
Love the reactions! I started recommending some of my PTX favorites, and realized there are just too many. Dig deep. You cant go wrong. Thanks again
It only takes one Pentatonix experience to become hooked. Welcome to the family......
Welcome to the Pentaholic fan base! Can’t get enough!! Currently in love with their original “Sing” and “New Years Day!”
Grammys earned for Daft Punk, Jolene w & Sugar Plum Fairies. All unique & equally amazing!!
I love your reactions. It's awesome to watch someone new to the incredible talent of Pentatonix. Imagine, the John Lennon song, is a good next choice.
Agree about the headphones, it will take you to another level, and really appreciate Kevin... that said, welcome to Pentatonix. There is no video that won't blow you away.
It’s wonderful how you provide experienced outlook on Pentatonix music and have the ability to appreciate the songs more than the average consumer. You will get a list of requests by various Pentatholics, but along with all of those repetitive requests, will be subscribers, myself included. I hope you enjoy their music as you watch them evolve and I cannot wait for more reactions to come.
Pentatonix is the gateway to a whole lot more. Voctave, Home Free, Voice Play just to name some others.
You've been sent the most popular recommendations. A fun one Pentatonix does is "Come Along". I hope you take a listen. They do a great cover of "Shallow". You're my favorite reaction video guy now!
MBB MBB I second those suggestions and add “gold” and “say something”.
Sooo many to choose from. I will add Radioactive (feat. Lindsay Stirling) to this list in addition to the above ones. That, along with Shallow and Say Something, showcase Kevin on his cello, which adds yet another dimension to their sound :)
Second to Come Along!
Come Along is fun-tastic!!
Come Along is SUCH FUN! And GOLD is phenomenal!
There are 2 songs that Mitch sings (only 2? Nah!), well ok, more than 2… but we Pentaholics will ALL agree that you have to watch the Live recording of their cover of AHA in Singapore (recorded on a phone or camcorder! Honestly)!
And their cover of Kiarra’s Gold!!
If you never liked PTX before, you will LOVE them after those. Perfect! 🤗🥰🤗
Glad to see you made it back. I heard somewhere that sean????? is already preaching to you, trust me you are in capable hands. I also understand a little 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is in the works, can't wait.
Trying to spread the good word
@@sean1849 hey there! :)
@@Spaceydoodle once again we meet in a comment section.
@@sean1849 I've heard 2 reactors specifically calling you out for recommending PTX to them - keep up the good work brother 😀
@@arwynOG I do my best ... Thank you
I really love your reactions and your commentary! Can't wait to see your next PTX reaction!
Another great reaction. May I suggest headphones. You can hear the notes better plus it cleans up the sound on the recording.
Good call. I'll have to get a decent set.
You won't regret it! In particular, headphones help capture the highs & especially low-lows
100% agree! When you get them, please go back and listen to Hallelujah with them. It helps us, because when we are knocked off our chairs, you will be too, and that will give us time to get back up.
Lukas Hassel I recommend sets that have bass boosted too!
I love that in this song, we see everyone doing riffs and runs in parallel harmony. It's no longer just the soloist riffing -- they all can, and here, they all do.
Your reactions are great! Welcome to the Pentaholics family! I can't wait to hear your next one. There have been a lot of great suggestions already in the comments. You really can't go wrong. Two of their three grammys were for best arrangement so you are definitely correct about the level of arranging talent they have. Daft Punk was their first grammy. They recorded it in Avi's kitchen and filmed it in a closet for a few hundred dollars.
Wow, incredible. I'll do that one next.
Love watching people discover the awesomeness that is pentatonix 💜
So glad you've been introduced to PTX! They are unmatched. I recommend wearing headphones too if possible, makes the harmonies really shine!
There's also a secret sixth member to PTX, Ben Bram arranges with mostly Scott and Kevin and is listed along the members for their Grammys. Their Evolution of... videos prove they they are the masters of mashups and tempo/key changes!
Their original song Run to You is unbelievable. It touches me to my very soul I swear.
Mitch is a chameleon. He is a fashion diva, and is always changing his look. And queen SLAYS everything from simple, to a stache, to a mullet. He has the voice of an angel, and is pure perfection!
Every one of these singers were classically trained. And because the "trio" have known each other since childhood, they are totally in "harmony." Yes, they definitely LISTEN to each other. In their documentary, they went crazy when they got really good quality earpieces, because listening to each other is so key. Loved your reaction!
Where do you read they were all classically trained? I thought Avi was the only one. Just curious. :)
Avi was trained in OPERA. But the trio studied music with private instructors for years before entering college, and they received a solid classical foundation. Of course they also studied musical theater and were involved in pop music groups during high school. But they all made all state choir, which requires a strong foundation in classical choral and solo singing. They weren't just self trained amateurs when they auditioned for the Sing Off, and they have often given a lot of credit to their voice teachers who gave them a strong start and good techniques which have contributed to their success and longevity. Kevin was a classically trained musician, not singer, but much of what a musician learns is applicable to voice as well.
Dear Susan N. First, I thank you for the review of the instruction/training of members. Luckily, reading comments from Pentaholics has given me some idea of their musical backgrounds. I made a mistake in assuming that classical music was only r
Sorry Susan V. My mistake was assuming that "classical" referred only to the operatic Masters that Avi was taught about as well as thinking that Bach and the famed composers, etc. we're the only ones that the Trio were trained in. I hope my explanation at least made some small sense. I truly appreciate all the info and your patience.
Susan B not Susan N!
One of the reasons I love finding a new PTX Reactor is because new people bring new perspectives. You've nailed in your commentaries both of them some of the things that makes this group so extraordinary. Five people with talent through the roof often cannot work together so much does each want to get their air time or they stumble over each other creatively. The chemistry of the group is why it works. The three primary leads, Scott, Mitch and Kirsty have known each other since childhood and sung together for many years before the group was formed. And they like each other, all five (six) of them, they really love each other and it shows in how they sing together.... Thank you for your input. Journey on, there is so much to hear! I am a particular fan of the different so I recommend Perfect, an Ariana Grande cover they did in their early days...
Pentatonix one of life's great pleasures! Glad you found them, many treats in store!
They have won 3 Grammy awards, the first for their Daft Punk arrangement, the second for The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy arrangement, and the third for their collaboration with Dolly Parton on her song "Jolene". They have over 100 videos for you to check out, plus many more live performances and behind the scenes videos call PTXperience videos for you to enjoy. Welcome to the Pentaholic family.
The new member is Matt Sallee. He is a wonderful addition to PTX, even though Avi still has an incredible penataholic following. Loved seeing them in concert last May. 💕❤💕Mitch
I love your appreciation!! Just randomly found this in my recommendations. I recommend watching Bohemian Rhapsody and Imagine and to maybe get started with their originals: “Can’t sleep love” or for something quieter “Run to You”. Since you really seem to enjoy Mitch’s tone you might like “Gold” a lot. But watch the original by Kiiara first to get the whole depth of how insane it is what they and especially Mitch do to the song and how awesome the arrangement truly is. Hope you keep having fun with this, it’s a joy to watch along with you 💚
They have 3 Grammy Awards. 1st was for their Daft Punk medley, which they recorded on a $400 budget, 2nd was for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, 3rd was for Jolene which they recorded with Dolly Parton
They really ARE incredible! And so far, I've not seen anything by them that wasn't done to perfection. I just discovered them a few years ago for the first time, and am now a huge fan. Thanks for reacting to this.
You MUST see SuperFruit ( Scott and Mitch side project), they did a cover of Katy Perry’s Rise. They had 3 guest singers. It will bring you to tears.
They won 3 grammy’s. Daft Punk, Jolene - with Dolly Parton and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
The trio were 19 when they won the Sing Off. They had been friends all through high school.
Another fun one is The Wizard of Ahhh’s with Todrick Hall. Trust me.
My god this man is beautiful.
Oh what a great reactor you are! You listen with an experienced ear and add so much knowledge in your comments. You so perfectly compared Avi and Matt-they each add their own touch to the mix. Both are incredibly talented.
For something fun, when you’re ready, check out Scott and Mitch’s side project, SuperFruit. Sometimes funny, sometimes singing, often both. My favorites there are their take on Frozen and on Wicked’s Defying Gravity. And if you watch any of their videos, be sure to keep watching after they end it for the bloopers. You’ll see why I think Mitch should be on Broadway.
If you want to hear more of Matt, the new guy, you should listen to their cover of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” Matt has a solo and Scott takes on bass.
you did such a good job of describing Matt's presence in the group and what his purpose is. A member leaving has been the end of so many amazing groups and I am beyond grateful that this group has been able to find somebody that they can work with and enjoy having with them all the time as they work constantly. He is not there to compete with the former bass. He is there to be a bass singer and he is going to have his own style. I am a fan of Avi and that amazing voice he has, and I am a fan of Matt's own skillset.
very well spoken on your part.
Listening with headphones is amazing. You can hear so much more detail!
I'm so glad we have another convert! :-) PLEASE watch their Bohemian Rhapsody!!!
I love that you hear every note,I do to,love your reactions ❤️
Welcome to the family my man
Thank you so much! I'm so grateful to have finally found this group. Can't wait to experience more of their immense talent.
@@lukashasselNY you only have 150 videos of them to catch up on
@@sean1849 wow...
@@lukashasselNY You have missed alot of years of videos and there are side projects with all of them
@@lukashasselNY When you get to the point of deep diving all their videos plus side projects, I can't wait to see your reaction to Superfruit (Scott & Mitch) with Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose, & Mary Lambert doing their cover of Katy Perry's "Rise". It is amazing.
Keep 'em coming! I need my regular Pentatonix fix through new eyes!
lol
I would suggest “Mary Did You Know?” It really showcases their talents. At the other end of style there is “Royal”, “Sing” and “White Winter.” They are true artists. Glad you found them.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy is on of my favourite videos of theirs. It also showcases their harmonies without lyrics.
If you watch their cover of “Problem,” you’ll hear more of Scott’s high end of his range, as well as Kevin doing some really fun beatboxing tricks and Mitch rapping. The video itself is nearly unique with them on an all-white set that really makes them pop.
For some non-Pentatonix reaction suggestions, check out Disturbed’s cover of this song-very powerful, and one that Paul Simon has stated he really liked. You can tell that PTX had heard it and drew on some inspiration from its intensity for their arrangement. Disturbed is a hard rock band (I think-could be more heavy metal or thrash), but their lead singer has a gorgeously deep resonant voice.
Another suggestion is Haley Reinhardt with Postmodern Jukebox doing Creep or Seven Nation Army-both are fantastic. She has an amazing presence and her singing talent is very impressive. Postmodern Jukebox itself has a wide range of singers that they use, and specialize in taking modern songs and switching up the genre, I.e., Thriller as a 1930s Cab Calloway style number, complete with backup dancers.
If you want more acapella that has gorgeous harmonies and can also be loads of fun, Home Free is terrific. They won The Sing-Off the season after Pentatonix, but are very different because they specialize in the country genre, although they do folk, classic rock, gospel, and other types of music, too. They can be pretty goofy in their videos and are clearly enjoying themselves.
Kathy Astrom thx for these awesome recommendations
@@lukashasselNY Yeah, but watch the Conan performance, not the official video.
If you enjoy the ways they stay with each other in the harmonies, check out their cover of Kiara's Gold for a more laid back but on-point example.
Gold is live!
I listen to this 5-10 times a day for a month now, and i still can't get enough! And you face and facial expressions are beautiful! And yes, headphones are mandatory.
I remembered when the original was recorded by Simon & Garfunkel, great for that era& well appreciated, , fast forward now a young 65 young old(lol) this by far is my favorite version , I just love how this group of young adults sing with their God given talent & by the way I love your reactions , on point!!!!
Hi Lukas, sincere thanks for your insightful reaction to this classic song performed by Pentatonix. You filmed it a year ago, but at that time I was not yet one of your subscribers, so missed it. I appreciate your genuine delight when you share your reactions. So very refreshing!
Welcome to Pentatonix!!!! Love your reactions so far & cannot WAIT to see more!! I was a HARDCORE Pentatonix fan since day 1 on The Sing Off, but I've since been converted....I am now a PentaFry lol!!! That's a Pentatonix fan (Pentaholic) & a Home Free fan (Home Fries) hence.....Pentafry! They are an equally talented acapella group (won the same show as Pentatonix did in the following season.) Different stylistically but just as amazing. A lot of fans are either or but you seem to truly just enjoy the artistry so I feel you would definitely enjoy them as well. Another group is Voiceplay. All of them are amazing all around & have amazing basses & percussionist as well as ALL being stunning vocalists. Enjoy the new discoveries!
Mr. Hassel, I just discovered your channel today. You are the first person to offer your reaction in this manner who actually feels the music. You are as pleasing to see as this lovely song.
I love watching you expressions . I enjoy seeing you being surprised!
I love that you pay attention not just to the lead but also how dynamic all the support is, and all their exquisite ensemble-ness (it's a word). Talent, and expert skill as you've said before. I'm loving experiencing them again through your eyes (and ears).
I love it when people make reaction videos for Pentatonix 😍 it always catches my attention
Just subscribed. I absolutely loved your reaction! It was like a mirror of how I feel listening to it. You should def listen to their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.
I love your reactions. Your body language, your facial expressions, smile, comments are all on point. You feel what I felt when I listen to this for the first, second, third.. hundredth time.. 😂
I love how almost everyone who reacts to this song stops it just before Matt does his epic bassey bass moment. Then they come back and are floored by it lol.
I know you've only done two PTX reactions, but I love seeing you discover how amazing they are! It helps that you know music and listen to what's underneath and behind the lead, keep going! I think you should definitely listen to Bohemian Rhapsody soon, also Come Along, Imagine, and an original, Can't Sleep Love...
More! More! My favorite songs are, Love again (an original) and Daft punk. Their electronic sound just blows me away.
Lol I love to watch the delight on your face as you discover the group. Another song with some truly majestically harmonies is Mary Did You Know.
Ahhhh - the birth of a pentaholic! LOVE IT! I live for this content to keep me going during the lockdown! GREAT Reaction and looking forward to seeing Imagine as others have requested. I think you'll REALLY enjoy it! :-)
I've watched a lot of PTX reaction videos but I have to say, watching you react and hearing your commentary.... some of my absolute favourite!
You're hooked! Can see it in your face. Just wait...so much more.
They are true craftsmen (and woman) at their art. And though you haven't seen a live performance yet, others, along with myself, that have seen them in concert, will tell you that they sound just as amazing, if not more, live! Your 1st 2 reactions, IMO, are their most powerful songs, vocally. A close third, which most people don't mention, is Can You Feel the Love Tonight. All members get a chance to shine, especially Kirstie, but what I love is that they sound exactly like angels (or at least what angels would sound like in my mind, lol). Keep up with the PTX reactions and you'll see your subs rise very quickly :)
I am thoroughly enjoying watching you respond to Pentatonix. The expression on your face is of sheer Bliss
Excellent reaction from an obvious professional in the business.......thank you.
You are a lucky human, as you are capable to get the holistic experience and express it. I "compose" them equally. They can not only be heard, but felt and almost smelled. Please keep on.
You don’t realize (yet) how versatile their voices are.
The vocal arrangements (c/o Ben Bram) are always incredible which this talented 5-member group execute perfectly. You're right, they are so attuned with each other and blend so well and harmonize seamlessly. New sub here. Let us watch your subscribers go up!
You are quickly becoming my favorite reactor. Watching you enjoy the music makes me happy. ☺
I would recommend Pentatonix "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" they won another grammy for this one. Another one would be "Mary Did You Know" If you ever want to branch out you might also try another acapella group called Home Free, I would suggest "How Great Thou Art", "Auld Lang Syne", "Helplessly Hoping" "Do You Hear What I Hear", "Love Train" or "In The Blood" I will concur with the headphones request. Thank you for your great reactions, Mr. Hassel.
Wow ... Mitch sounds amazing! Great tunes smoothing ....
Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Daft Punk. They're all amazing!
Yes, do Imagine (with Avi) or Can You Feel The Love Tonight (with Matt) next!!
I LOVE watching people’s reactions to that performance.
Thanks for giving them what they're due.🤩💜
I love watching the delight on your face.
I'm a huge Pentatonix fan and love your reactions to their covers. Another group that sings a capella is Home Free. Their cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" with Avi Kaplan is amazing and I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
Great reaction!! Everyone else has already commented on some other Pentatonix videos to react to, so I’m just going to second all their recommendations 😊
Thank you for another reaction to pentatonix. The new guy took over when avi left and started a solo career and his name is matt and he did this amazingly.
If you re-watch Hallelujah, you will see that Scott takes over the bass when Avi is singing his solo. He has incredible bass tones too.
