  • Pentatonix were nowhere on my radar until I reacted to a few of Home Free's songs. Many people then told me that Pentatonix are the BEST. So of course I decided to see for myself. Here, they sing Hallelujah effortlessly and perfectly.

    Avi was bass in this song. Whenever the bass singer has a solo, Scott, the tall blond who sang first, takes over as bass. Avi left in 2017 and Matt became bass late 2017. That was the only member change in their 10-year history. Thank you for reacting to Pentatonix. I look forward to more Pentatonix reactions.

    Pentatonix is the best a cappella band on the planet. 19.4 subscribers, almost 6 billion views, 3 Grammys, 10 million records sold, numerous world tours, etc. I highly recommend their cover of "Amazing Grace", "The Sound of Silence", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" or "The Prayer". They have hundreds of songs including originals to chose from and honestly EVERYTHING that they do is mind-blowing.

    At the point when you asked about the bassline, it was actually their baritone (blond) covering bass because the bass (beard) was singing lead. That's how gifted they are. Every member has at least a 4 octave range, including the current bass (possibly excepting the beatboxer... I think he does, but I haven't seen a compilation addressing that yet).

    Welcome to Pentatonix! We fans are called 'Pentaholics' because we can't get enough. Get ready for the viewer and subscriber bump on the channel! Since it's the season of the holidays, you can't go wrong with reacting to their holiday songs. Pentatonix was started with Scott (blonde, baritone with insane range down and up), Mitch (round had/high tenor/insane vocal range up), and Kirstin (latina soprano) in Arlington Texas. They added original bass Avi (knit hat, insanely low bass) and Kevin (black man, beat boxing/percussion, tenor, also plays cello on a couple but they show the instruments they use) before they competed on a TV show for A Capella groups in the early 00's called "The Sing Off". They won the Sing Off, got a record deal, they all moved out to LA as neighbors in the same apartment complex for the contract, and then a week later the producer dropped the contract because they didn't believe there would be enough of an audience for A Capella.
    Pentatonix decided to stick it out. They began to shoot videos and used TH-cam as their main vehicle of popularity and publication of their songs and videos. One strategy they use consistently is releasing crazy-popular Christmas Albums every year (Hallelujah was part of one of their holiday albums). And they steadily rose in popularity, signing back on with the parent recording company of the original production label that dropped them. Look at the number of views on their videos.... over half a billion on Hallelujah alone. They won three Grammy awards, each for covers, so... there's that. One of their early videos, Daft Punk Medley, they produced for $400 in their closets at home, and it won them their first grammy. For holiday Grammy awards, they did an adaptation of the music from the Nutcracker ballet, "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", which is entirely instrumental. That won them their second grammy.
    In later years, Avi had some family concerns and realized he couldn't keep up with their world tours (yes, world tours) and concert and recording schedule, and he had to part company with the group. It was a friendly split, and Avi helped the group audition his replacement, which is another black gentleman named Matt (also insanely low bass, just not _quite_ as low as Avi, but still an excellent musician). Avi and Matt are the only two members who swapped places. However, Mitch and Kirstin have a habit of radically changing their look and their style for each and every music video and appearance, to such an extent that folks new to the group can get confused and be like, "Wait, wasn't there a blonde in the desert? Who's this morticia goth lady?"
    So for holiday faves, you can't go wrong with "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", and they just dropped this year's runaway hit, "The Prayer". Folks like their rendition of "Mary Did You Know?" too, but I'm personally more partial to their rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful" where they took historic African arrangements and polyrhythms and actually use a choir to back them up.
    One final note - Pentatonix takes great pride in releasing videos with 'real' sounds. While their videos do get some mixing in the sense of voice balancing, compression, and reverb for production quality, they don't rely on auto-tune or digital sound effects. There are no instrument tracks unless they show you themselves playing the instrument. There are no drum tracks - it's all Kevin who is arguably one of the best beat-boxers alive today. There is only one video where they used any kind of vocal effects whatsoever, and that was in their "90's Dance Medley" when they sang "Believe" by Cher, who was the first artist to use vocoder effects to give her voice an obvious electronic warble in the chorus, so Pentatonix in homage to her used the same effect in the same place, but clearly called out that's what they're doing. Live versions of many of their songs exist, which proves that they can and do produce the entire range of sounds, in real time, that you can hear on any video.
    If you watch "Daft Punk Medley" next you'll see why that's even a question for many viewers.
    They have been singing and practicing and living their lives in close proximity for so long that they function both as soloists and as a single vocal organism, and they have a sympathy which allows them to pivot on a dime. You can see that in motion in one video which has a radio show giving them the game "Pentatonix Tries to Sing 100 Songs in 10 minutes" (they don't make it, but they stopped at like 96).
    Welcome to the fan club. We're glad to have you. Next Pentatonix video, please, sir. ;)

The beat boxer Kevin also is a classically trained cellist. Mitch, Kirsten and Scott have known each other since they were kids. They met Avi, their bass, through a friend and they found Kevin on youtube. Avi has since left the group on great terms and help find his replacement Matt. Matt is also an amazing singer. ❤

    Mitch (counter tenor, highest voice range), Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty mezzo soprano) and Scott (baritone and bass when the bass has a lead) have been together since about 10 years old. Kirstie and Mitch are chameleons and constantly chasing their looks. They are so great at singing together and not stepping on each other's vocals. Kevin the beatboxer and cellist also played in Carnegie Hall twice before 14, he also plays the saxophone and speaks fluent Mandarin. Avi the bass while no longer in the group, it was nothing wrong, he wanted to go solo but they got Matt Salle who had a voice like liquid silk and was a great addition to the group

    Pentatonix comes from pretty humble beginnings. It all began when three childhood friends from Arlington, Texas - Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado, and Mitch Grassi - began creating a capella trios together.

  • @brendagrothier967

    PTX, Home Free, Voice Play and Voctave are all amazing acapella groups. All have their fans and a lot of cross over fans.
    I started with PTX because they had TV specials and New about them that way.
    But from comments from others listening to them on TH-cam I found Home Free which has become my favorite of the acapella groups.

    You asked about what it was like for the try outs of the group. Scott, Mitch and Kirsten all went to high school together. After Scott and Kirsten had graduated and was finishing their freshman years in different states, Scott approached them about trying out for the NBC show "The Sing Off". They added Avi the bass singer in their earlier works on recommendations from people Scott knew, and they asked Kevin to join the group based on a TH-cam video he posted "cello-boxing". So the group never had any tryouts until Avi left the group a few years ago. They did hold try outs for the replacement who turned out to be Matt Salee.

    • @rogerroger5171
      @rogerroger5171 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was interesting when Matt went to tryout for PTX. He was already a massive PTX fan, he even attended concerts and other events with them. When he answered the audition, he didn't know it was for Pentatonix.

Avi (bass-baritone-tenor) and Kevin (cello-beatboxer-tenor) joined them the day before they competed (and won) the 3rd season of The Sing-off in 2011. The Pentatonix rabbit hole is deep and wide-spread. We fans (known as Pentaholics) are a decent group who loves to see others fall in love with these young people's unequaled talent.

    PTX is indeed one of the premiere a cappella groups around today. I’m glad to hear you react to them and this is a great song. As far as pop a cappella, they are definitely the best currently. Home Free is also a great group and has brought a cappella to country.
    However, a group with tons of talent that sings a lot of traditional a cappella, as well as some twists on more contemporary music is a group out of Orlando, FL, called Voctave. They are all professional musicians, with several having Master’s Degrees in Music and Singing. All of their arrangements are original and they pride themselves in not using autotune. They sing a lot of Christmas, Disney, Broadway, & Christian styles of music. All of them have worked or currently work as a singer at Disney World with either the Voices of Liberty, an a cappella Americana group that sings at the American Pavilion in EPCOT, or with the Dapper Dans, a barbershop quartet on Mainstreet in Magic Kingdom. They have more than 5 members so they can get a richer sound and present a full wall of sound musically. Quite often you don’t realize you are listening only to voices with them, but you are. Kirsten from PTX has been a guest soloists on a couple of their songs as have many other notable artists like Sandi Patti, Mark Lowry, Rachel Potter and many others. One of their truly unique numbers is The Great Movie medley (th-cam.com/video/PVKa1LEFPas/w-d-xo.html) where they literally sound like a vocal orchestra. Probably their most popular song is the Disney Love Medley featuring Kirsten Maldonado & her then fiancé, Jeremy Michael Lewis (th-cam.com/video/aBCukAJwKN0/w-d-xo.html) or the Disney Princess Medley (th-cam.com/video/aBCukAJwKN0/w-d-xo.html), and one of their most technically proficient numbers is The Prince of Egypt Medley (th-cam.com/video/2iyWMt1Me0Y/w-d-xo.html), but I defy you to watch their version of Where Are You Christmas? (th-cam.com/video/fl9L52HFjeo/w-d-xo.html) and not cry. They have some of the highest sopranos in the industry down to some of the lowest bases and they are strong on all parts in between too. Generally they sing with 5 women & 6 men but the number has changed off and on over time as the group morphed into what it is today. So please check them out and give us a reaction. You really can’t go wrong with any of their numbers.

    Great Mitch-slap moment! I’m sure others have already, but to answer a few things … there were no auditions. The tall blonde, the girl, and the guy in the hat (Kirstie, Scott & Mitch) grew up together and have been singing together since they were kids. Avi and Kevin (beatboxer) were brought on to audition for The Sing Off. They won. Avi (bass) left several years ago, and was replaced with Matt. That is the ONLY member change in their 10 years. But Mitch and Kirstie love to change things up and confuse people. When Avi/Matt is singing a melody part, Scott covers the bass. Mitch (in hat) has a huge range and is known for his crystal clear tone. Their recent release, The Prayer, shows off his talent in full. Enjoyed your reaction.
