    We all have to agree that Matt is not Avi, so they just had to adapt to him. Though he is the supposed bass of the group, we all have to agree that his voice is different from a normal bass and I'm really happy that they opted to give him more ways to shine and adapt the songs at his range. If you see them live and them singing songs like halleluja you'll notice the difference and how they all adapt their old songs to fit him. Is kinda sweet and they are all great. It's like he is not there to replace Avi, but to be another fifth member of the group.

      I loved Avi and I was very sad to see him go. I was a little worried when they brought Matt in as the bassist but this renewed my faith in the group. They clearly acknowledge without ever saying it that they need the super low bass that Avi brought but his voice was so distinctive so they had to rework things to make everyone shine and everything flow. I am proud of them for doing things this way.

    You're only the second one to point out that Matt had Mitch cover the highest part of his solo, well spotted.
    I agree with Marco that Scott's lower register is warmer than Matt's. You might hear more in superfruit songs, or Scott's "I'm gonna tell ya momma on you".
    They found a beautiful way of changing the key for Kirsten's solo, and then the wavy run by the trio was epic.
    I agree with others, your extensive comments are warranted because of the incredible arrangement of this epic song. Thank you.

    I think what i heard in this song is that Scott and Matt are on par with each other like Kirstie and Mitch. And then when you put all four together it is a whole new sound. However, when it comes to Kevin, you did miss quite a bit. He helped out not only on the harmonies, but the bell sounds. And in my opinion the percussion, brought the whole thing together.

The key change was brilliant, The Chord exchange when Matt needed to go high, the team took it for him and yet his voice wasn't lost in the mix at all so the focus stayed on him. And then, OMG that base note. Talk about smooth register change. But who cant talk about Scott here... Proves what a versatile vocalist he is. Kudos to Kirstie, Mitch and Kevin. Just stunning.

    Matt is a natural baritone with a rich low register. I've only heard Scott hit notes this low when, in Hallelujah, he sang bass while Avi was singing his solo. His first note in this song blew me away! Also, Kevin's rhythm in this song sent it to another realm of "epicness". It was just awesome. They will be in Germany in the Fall; the Europe and Asia schedule hasn't been published yet. They will be here in Nashville in June. I've never seen them live but I will be at this one!

    • @minaolenella869
      @minaolenella869 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Matt can go too low for a baritone. It is quite usual for basses to hit high notes in mixed and headvoice. And Matt definitely starts to use mixed register whenever he is not singing bass. This is the same reason why many basses are countertenors- they can go much lower with headvoice than other voice types.

  • @declaneric
    @declaneric 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Let's dispel the argument that Matt and Avi sing bass vs. mid-range solo differently. They actually don't. Both use an affected bass. Both sing in the mid-hi baritone when they sing solo. Avi goes to bass a little more naturally than Matt, but that's more a difference in technique than end-effect - and that would likely be because Avi trained in opera.
    As for Scott, he is a full baritone. He can go low into the upper-bass register, or go high into the low/mid-tenor in his chest voice. Because he had Avi, and now Matt (bass), and Kevin (also a baritone), he's never needed to sing low solo. But you HAVE heard him sing this low before. Every time Avi or Matt sings solo, it's Scott filling in on bass to allow Kevin to stay on percussion.
    But it IS rare to hear him go low solo, so it's something to appreciate just how complete a singer he is.

    • @Texastigerdigsdetects
      @Texastigerdigsdetects 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree with almost everything, but Kevin is a tenor, you will hear him go up to falsetto from time to time in some of his solo work. Baritones can't maintain a falsetto that seamlessly for any length of time.

  • @thomasbailey2150
    @thomasbailey2150 5 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    I always enjoy watching both of you react and review. I read some comments somewhere where it was said that when Avi was singing lead Scott would sing the bass in the background. Many couldn't believe that this was true. Now, with Scott singing in the foreground like this it can be seen that he definitely can sing bass. I'm not sure which member said this, but one of them commented that they all had very wide ranges and it could be tricky (tricky might not be the correct word, but you get the idea) to decide who would sing what.

    Don't ever be sorry! I like hearing people who know more about music then I do explain things that were going-on! I was really shocked when Scott sang a solo in his lower register. As far as we can remember as fans that's never happened. In the past he carried the bass line when Avi was singing a solo. And that's it! Also, I didn't hear one single riff or run come from Scott. I was blown away by that! It would have been to soulful for the sound of this song. And he was using his vocal fry beautifully! I also love that they didn't have Mitch do any vocal acrobatics in the stratosphere. I love when Mitch accentuates his solo with an exclamation point of a high note! But it wouldn't have been right for this song. And Matt saying with such fullness and richness for his solo adding the vibrato at the right point and never once falling off at the end of those held out notes. And he emoted beautifully! I keep in mind that he had just graduated from Berkeley when Pentatonix scooped him up. He didn't have a lot of experience as a professional musician yet. He was only 23 and look at how much the remaining members of the original group have grown in 7 years. Matt's going to get better and better and he seems to be a fast learner, and according to other members of the group he's a very hard worker. I know that he still taking vocal coaching and I'm confident that the lower end of his range will be fleshed out quite soon! When he's singing in his bass register from the very beginning of a song, like in Making Christmas from A Nightmare Before Christmas. He sounds absolutely great way down there in those bass notes even when they perform it live! Just really really glad that you guys watched this and enjoyed it!

    “Which way are they going to choose, the bass way, or not the bass way?” The answer was Yes! The bass with Scott at the beginning, the not bass of Matt in the beginning of his solo, and that amazingly smooth drop during the end of his solo. They took every expectation we could have had and turned them sideways. I love PTX for that.

    Scott beat Matt in the bass?? Really?
    Matt descended a whole octave on "Sooound" Scoot stayed in range of the song.

      Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. They both did an incredible job in this cover. For the record however, Matt completely knocked this shit out the park. In one line, he proved that he not only deserves to be in this group, but that he ain’t just”Avi’s replacement”. He was EASILY the best sounding in this song, and since he’s joined the group I personally think that they are better for it. (Nothing against Avi, he’s a legend. PTX though basically rediscovered themselves in the transition and now they sound even more perfect.) Matt has brought an unbelievable energy to this group, and I highly suggest listening to a live performance. The dude sounds the same as if he were in a recording booth. Do you understand just how rare that is?

      I dunno, they sing beautifully, but that song is very Schlager, and that's a genre that has a very particular (not so good) reputation and standing in Germany. You may not like it as much as people think you will.
      Or maybe you will. I dunno how you feel about Schlager.

    Scott was just giving good bass in the beginning and when matt sing

  • @margretrosenberg420
    @margretrosenberg420 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Scott is a lyric baritone. His voice extends well into both the bass and tenor ranges. When Matt (or previously Avi) sings a solo and the underlying harmonies require bass notes, Scott regularly supplies them.
    *Everyone* in Pentatonix has a range that exceeds their nominative ranges. Kirstie is officially a mezzo soprano. That's the lowest soprano voice, just above alto. But Kirstie can sing as high as Mitch.
    Mitch's range is just over 6 *octaves!*
    Kevin is another lyric baritone, but his voice doesn't go down into the bass range like Scott's. Instead it goes way high into the tenor range, and that's just before he engages his beautiful falsetto range. Add in the fact that he's also a cellist and a saxophonist and you have a top-notch musician. Add to that the fact that he apparently eats drum kits for breakfast and you have one of the best percussion sections of any band out there, including bands with several drummers with real drums. But Kevin can also *sing.*

  • @craftjoy6712
    @craftjoy6712 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Never be afraid to say what you think please. Everyone is entitled to their feelings and thoughts.
    I think Pentatonix version is eargasmic. All the harmonies and transitions. A work of art.
    The atmosphere of the song is completely different from the original (calm and sad) or the Distrurbed version (scary and accusing). Pentonix seems more anthemic to me, almost hopeful and joyous. Fills my heart with energy and love. Beautifull.
    I think Matt is more all round. And has a beautiful tone in the mid-range. But his bass misses color, what scott and avi do have. So I think they did him right, they gave him the part and tone where his voice completely shines.
    And it's nice that they all shine in more ways then one. They can do so much more with multi talented members. Keeps it exciting, so much possibilities.

    @aprilmarket3217 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It was Tim Foust who sang this song with Peter Hollens. And I'll say what you didn't want to, if I'm thinking right. Scott's balls dropped, making it easier for him to hit those low notes, he hit his second puberty. Lol. Love you two guys so much, I couldn't wait for your reaction to this, and you definitely didn't disappoint. I love every reaction the two of you do, keep up the good work. I sit all day and listen to music, I'm unable to much else, this is what helps me get through my day, and you help make me smile. 💜

  • @curalove
    @curalove 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    First of all - I love your reactions always. I have to disagree regarding Mitch and Kirsten singing this song, though. Garfunkel had a pretty high clear tenor voice so that higher tone doesn’t sound out of place at all in this arrangement to my ear. Was glad to hear Matt really full out sing a solo here so we can see what he can really do.

  • @amandas.6500
    @amandas.6500 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I knew you guys would love this one! At first I thought, oh geeze, this song is being over done, but Scott blew it out of the water immediately!! I love their versatility! Glad you enjoyed it too, & I hope they go to Germany. I have my ticket for Denver!! Also Superfruit has a new one too, it's an 80s cover, I hope you check it out eventually.

  • @sirinas
    @sirinas 5 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    Scott have awesome range, and you have seen in "Hallelujah" that he did bass line when Avi did solo. And there is a one song, where Avi is single solo, called "Standing by" (original ptx song), Scott did all bass line. Have you reacted for this one?

  • @lauraa4294
    @lauraa4294 5 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Love your reactions, always. But I have to disagree, I can see how it sounds like Scott's was lower, but I feel like Matt's had more.....I guess you would say, power behind it? But close, very close. Scott is just awesome in everything he does. Same feelings about Kevin here, but if you go back and watch it again, his beatboxing is simple, but so essential. A lot of people are comparing this on to Disturbed, but this is a capella, there's no comparison. Your video wasn't too long. I can never hear enough good things about PTX.

    In the Sing-Off, The judges said Scott is a beast. Scott had to hold back to not hurt the group. But with the experience he no longer has to hold back as the team mates now can keep up.
