How cool is that!! Wow, I had hoped that The Prayer would be nominated. Thank you for sharing that info!! This group has helped me with my chronic pain since the beginning. Their musical talent, the various tones they use help my physical pain to lessen.
I agree. Same concept different ailment. They're helping me also after a diagnosis that has had me on the brink of depression. So mad props to them . I'm certain we aren't the only ones
Great reaction/analysis. For this specific performance, the fullness in vocals that you hear at one point is with the help of a choir spread out in the aisles. Scott actually says "welcome the singers in the aisles" right before they come in.
Yup...that's what i was coming here to say as well. If he does a playback, he'll hear Scott say that and (I think) twice the video shows a couple of people in the aisles with hand lights singing. Those people would be the choir members.
Let's just be honest, Jarvis, you are my favorite reactionary. No fluff or off-the-wall behavior, just informative information. It's refreshing to see you enjoy the piece and simultaneously explaining why. When you talk over the performance, you have great timing not to talk over major pieces. You have really helped me understand why I enjoy listening/watching Pentatonix, because I'm so unlearned about the intricate details of music. Thank you, great reaction.
So glad you were able to get this reaction up. I really enjoy these live reactions anyway. At 6:58 Scott says, “Welcome all the singers in the aisles.” This accounts for that fuller sound you mentioned. 😁
Scott is notorious for forgetting lyrics (even of songs he’s written) so the monitors have helped. Lol I get to see them live tomorrow it’ll be so fun to take it all in live.
Fantastic break-down! Scott is notorious for forgetting lyrics so I’m not surprised they have lyric prompters! As they enter this second decade they are experimenting with more layers & instruments & features so they now often sing with backing tracks. I’ve got tickets for their Holidays Around the World Concert next week!!! SO excited!
I saw them do this at a small private concert. They said it was the first time they were performing it. No dancers, no fancy lights, no playback. It wasn't perfect but it was still amazing. Scott said "we had to choose which sounds and notes to include to make it sound right because we obviously can't do everything!" Yet they always seem to! ☺
YESSS THISSSS THIS is why they are 3 time Grammy winners and now as of a few days ago nominated for their 4th for their whole album of "Evergreen" from last year
I hope you react to “Making Evergreen” which is their album that was just nominated for a Grammy yesterday. As someone who clearly understands their skill it’ll give you even more insight into their process.
From info from an interview I think they have a click track which starts with the right key. I'm not sure if the click continues for the whole song. They also have on stage screen prompts for the lyrics, because they have to all get it right or it falls apart!
The choir was actually in the aisles - Scott drew attention to them, if you listen carefully. Not a backing track in this case, but that doesn't mean they don't use them.
Thanks Jarvis, glad to see you back with PTX. Appreciate your technical expertise, thanks for sharing. Super interesting about the "man behind the curtain". Background/chorus voices are actually coming from the folks in white in the audience I believe. PTX will never tour close enough to my location, so I was really grateful that they offered a live stream of this concert from the Hollywood Bowl.
You're not alone. I have had many PTX videos I reacted to that got world wide blocks on them. This was one of them. Imagine, etc. I wish there was a way to just let the copyright owner to monetize the video so we can at least put it up and bring more eyes, or views to the artists. Thanks for the reaction bro!
I am so glad you're back with PTX. The additional singers were in the audience and added to the vocals. The prompter was for them to remember the lyrics just as you said!! I can't wait to see you react to their new single Prayers for this world!!!
I saw this filmed by someone that was there. They showed the choir of singers who came down the aisles in the audience. They were the extra voices. Check out some videos done by fans.
Pentatonix already brings me so much joy but seeing your enthusiasm in your reactions to their stuff adds a whole other level. Thank you for your videos!
I do so love your PTX reactions, you always offer particular insights that help me understand what they are doing. And I love your enthusiasm! From what I have observed, I think the label blocks are triggered by the visuals. Other reactors have gotten around this by blurring the video, adding a layer of text or logos over the video, or playing with the opacity to make them more transparent. (If you tried these, sorry, I was hoping to be helpful.) Honestly, it doesn’t matter what is seen on our end, we all know these videos from multiple viewings. As long as you can see them clearly, we’ll be happy. Oh yeah, and Scott is notorious for forgetting lyrics, so monitors are definitely needed. Well done, as always! Peace from Ohio …
Way to do JB-boss, always enjoy your reactions and the way you teach me a little sumn. They put on the best show I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen Led Zeppelin. They said that there’s no market for a cappella when the first label dropped them. PTX proved those people wrong in a big way
Love that you were able to get a PTX reaction through! Love your reactions although they are more educational than just facial reactions. You might want to call your videos 'analysis' instead of reaction. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated.
Great to see you reacting again to PTX. I was able to go to their Evergreen concert last winter and it was incredible! Always love and appreciate your analysis (I always learn something new).
You were talking when Scott introduced the choir in the aisles. You thought that they were dancers; they were the choir. No tracks/No auto tune. It was a choir from USC singing with them while standing in the aisles. Other than that incorrect info that you gave, I enjoyed your reaction. They do use monitors for lyrics because Scott is notorious for forgetting lyrics.
I always appreciate your reactions and the musical performance-related knowledge that you share. Sorry to hear that you're having problems with keeping your videos posted. I know that's a common problem. Perhaps react to Superfruit (Mitch and Scott), as I think there are less copyright issues. They've got some great medleys, as well as eccentric (but amazing) videos, e.g., Hip Hop Goes Broadway (Parts 1 & 2), Feeling Myself, Defying Gravity, and some collabs (Rise, Frozen). They also have some great original songs.
I absolutely have to find for you(Pentaholics help me out) an episode of the PTXperience where Matt wins a bet with the audio engineer so he has to introduce every song to the bands in ears & to the crew in whatever way Matt has decided-and he does it through the entire show!🤣 It's so hilarious! Great reaction! Hah! I found it! I think you'll love this behind the scenes PTX tour video (just watch it for yourself of you want) Also, a lot of reactors are having the same issues-the best way around it is to make the video almost transparent & maybe put your logo or text over it & you should be fine. It's the video that the issue not the audio & we're here for your reaction!
Top-Drawer performance by Pentatonix, and great reaction by Jarvis! Don't believe "iron Sky" by Paolo Nutini has not been reviewed by Drumming with Jarvis, but I highly recommend it -- especially the Paolo Nutini - Iron Sky [Abbey Road Live Session] live recording video. Based on the analysis given in Jarvis' reaction to "Bohemian Rhapsody," by the Pentatonix, I would also highly recommend a review of the music video "I Speak Astronomy," by Jinjer ... an absolutely stellar performance with high energy drumming, a riveting bass line groove, fabulous lightning fast guitar riffs, and the incomparable vocals of Tatiana Shmayluk. This is not hyperbole, Jinjer really is excellent! Please review ... I so look forward to your reactions.
Great to see you back! Awesome reaction, PTX sure don't fool around whether doing videos or doing live performances because there are no differences between the two...in fact, I liked the live version better. 👍👍
I think the extra track you’re hearing is the people on white robes around the venue. They are singing along with PTX. I’m sure they do use a click and talk back though.
There are lots of issues with SME (the parent company to PTX's label) copyright hitting reaction channels. There are tricks to navigate it, as it seems to be the video rather than the song itself that gets hit (in most cases anyway) some reactors use filters over the video that either blur or distort the video in some way, the might lower the opacity so itxs not as visible or I've seen a few that put large block letters over the image with thingsliek "blocked due to copyright" or similar, or just the "pentatonix [insert song name]". I know it's a lot of hassle, but we pentatonic are used to it now. Most of us are watching for your reaction & input, if we want to to see the video we can go to their channel. So hope you'll consider trying something like that to see if it helps. Now for this performance. It was really interesting to hear it live with Matt as the original was with Avi, and I could hear the little adjustments and differences. The choir was an interesting touch on the bridge, they didn'thave at in the studio version, 'd be interested to look for a I've version when Avi was still with them to see if they used similar then. I think the difference is that while Matt does have a great voice, the bass isn't quite as... filling? expansive? (I'm not sure I can even put it into words)... as Avi's, so the choir really boosted that.
You are literally my favorite PTX reactor when it comes to breaking down the music. I only half understand what you be talking about but I’m sure it’s the same when I start talking about Color Theory 😂. Have you tried blurring the screen to get them to stop flagging your videos? In any case, I truly enjoy your reactions and hope the copyright bot will leave you alone soon 😂
Their label seems to be getting more difficult about blocking. Are you blurring the video? Putting a logo over the top of it? Believe, the fans don't care about the videos as much as seeing your reaction tho the group we love so much, so even if we can't see it well, we won't mind.
Oh WOW a live performance. You won’t see much difference too the record. Honest too got the majority of live performances are far better than the record. 🙏🤷♀️❤️🇬🇧💗🇬🇧
Can I give you some advice. You may read this or not??? But a Guy. Just says is me Barry from Ireland, plays the whole song and then he plays it again to do a review. You might want too look him up. 💕🙏🤷♀️❤️🇬🇧💗🇬🇧
Ha, no not Home Free, they jumped on PTX’s fame ???? They just jumped on PTX’s coat tails. I have listened too them. I’m not saying there Bad. But me personally just love ❤️ ❤😅😊PTX. THERES only one Acapella group. And I’ve heard it. 😮😢😅😊
I appreciate them trying to mimic guitar sounds as you said, but I did not care for it. The beatboxer could have repeated and lopped his sounds or they could have used another sound as a replacement for the guitars. I guess I was expecting more like what this guy did th-cam.com/video/I7v5gpWe8ds/w-d-xo.html
Their album "Evergreen" just got nominated for Grammy
How cool is that!! Wow, I had hoped that The Prayer would be nominated. Thank you for sharing that info!! This group has helped me with my chronic pain since the beginning. Their musical talent, the various tones they use help my physical pain to lessen.
I agree. Same concept different ailment. They're helping me also after a diagnosis that has had me on the brink of depression. So mad props to them . I'm certain we aren't the only ones
See who really needs a Megaphone??????💗🙏🤷♀️❤️💕👏👏👏👏
Those weren't dancers, that was the choir. Scott introduced them after the performance.
Yeah, they walked down the aisles and sang from there.
They weren't the only ones singing. I was on my feet and singing with the choir the whole time.
From the first time I heard Bohemian Rhapsody, I felt Mitch is the recreation of Freddie Mercury.
Kevin has perfect pitch and usually gives a starting note is what has been said
Great reaction/analysis. For this specific performance, the fullness in vocals that you hear at one point is with the help of a choir spread out in the aisles. Scott actually says "welcome the singers in the aisles" right before they come in.
And right at the end you can hear him say "give it up for the amazing choir."
Yup...that's what i was coming here to say as well. If he does a playback, he'll hear Scott say that and (I think) twice the video shows a couple of people in the aisles with hand lights singing. Those people would be the choir members.

At 6:58 Scott says, “Welcome all the singers in the aisles.” This accounts for that fuller sound you mentioned. 😁
I've so missed your positive energy & that SMILE!!!!!!
He said welcome the singers in the aisles. You can see them when Scott is doing his solo.
Scott is notorious for forgetting lyrics (even of songs he’s written) so the monitors have helped. Lol I get to see them live tomorrow it’ll be so fun to take it all in live.

The choir was live in the aisles. You can see them all there singing. Scott introduced them after.
From info from an interview I think they have a click track which starts with the right key. I'm not sure if the click continues for the whole song.
They also have on stage screen prompts for the lyrics, because they have to all get it right or it falls apart!
Thanks for your awesome reaction, as always! Let’s give it up for their GRAMMY NOMINATION!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I miss Avi!
This was the first time I heard Matt do this (after Avi) and he nails it! Great stuff JB!
The choir was actually in the aisles - Scott drew attention to them, if you listen carefully. Not a backing track in this case, but that doesn't mean they don't use them.
Kevin has perfect pitch. He gives them notes.

Brian May, Queen’s lead guitarist, posted a link on his social media to Pentatonix’s video of Bohemian Rhapsody saying: “This is great. Enjoy!”
I am so glad you're back with PTX. The additional singers were in the audience and added to the vocals. The prompter was for them to remember the lyrics just as you said!! I can't wait to see you react to their new single Prayers for this world!!!
Love how you explain the intricacies of song and performance. Really enjoy your enthusiasm. Thank you!
The live is great! The official video is even better!
They had a choir in the audience.
I saw this filmed by someone that was there. They showed the choir of singers who came down the aisles in the audience. They were the extra voices. Check out some videos done by fans.

Another great reaction/analysis.
The depth of your musical knowledge is impressive.
Most of all I love that you’re a fan of great music.
v
That's who the people in the aisle where, "Dancers" dressed in white
You're really great at explaining things for laypeople. Thank you. I learned something.
I don't see where you have reacted to Avi Kaplan solo. Wow he is the most amazing ever. You won't be disappointed ❤. Love your channel ❤️
I love watching your reactions!! So complete and informative! It’s awesome to learn the behind the scenes stuff! Thanks so much!
I was at that show… TWAS AMAZING!!
Love that you were able to get a PTX reaction through! Love your reactions although they are more educational than just facial reactions. You might want to call your videos 'analysis' instead of reaction. Keep up the good work. You are appreciated.
Some of their recent concerts have been amazing. Thank you for the cool reaction.
It doesn’t hurt that Kevin has perfect pitch.
If you listen…Scott says welcome the choir in the aisleS
Great to see you reacting again to PTX. I was able to go to their Evergreen concert last winter and it was incredible! Always love and appreciate your analysis (I always learn something new).

I love your PTX reactions. I wish there was more but i understand.
It is not just your channel. Every reactor I watch has the same problem. You are not alone 😉
I think the extra track you’re hearing is the people on white robes around the venue. They are singing along with PTX. I’m sure they do use a click and talk back though.
Oh yeah! Definitely monitors there for lyrics. Scott is famous for forgetting lyrics!!!! lol
You are a brother from a different mother. Greetings from South Dakota
There was no background track. The extra voices were the choir in the aisles.
Wasn't sure where to put this but check out Dance in the Graveyards by Delta Rae. I'd love to see your reaction(s)!
There are lots of issues with SME (the parent company to PTX's label) copyright hitting reaction channels.

Have you put a filter over it? Or made it transparent
Have you tried blurring the video ?
Sorry but 2% you were wrong. There was a live choir in the aisles in the audience. NOT a laptop, YES it's real. Lol Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Can u please please react to "Joyful Joyful" Live from the evergreen experience. It is so awesome.
Heh- if you’re talking to the fandom .. we are very aware that they use promoters lol pretty blonde loves to forget his lyrics 😉
I bet they have at leas one perfect pith ie Scott so he can start on pitch without a note from somon. In fact, Id guess last 3 have perfect pitch
No auto tune or tracking
Their label seems to be getting more difficult about blocking. Are you blurring the video? Putting a logo over the top of it? Believe, the fans don't care about the videos as much as seeing your reaction tho the group we love so much, so even if we can't see it well, we won't mind.
Oh WOW a live performance. You won’t see much difference too the record. Honest too got the majority of live performances are far better than the record. 🙏🤷♀️❤️🇬🇧💗🇬🇧
A lot of reactors put a filter over the video
This one, I have to say,. The video is better. 👍
Would you react to Larnell Lewis next?!
This is my favourite version Bohemian Gravity | A Capella Science th-cam.com/video/2rjbtsX7twc/w-d-xo.html
This is great!! Enjoy your reactions and appreciation of good music. Please check out Homefree's cover of Blue Aint Your Color. One of their best.
Can I give you some advice. You may read this or not???
But a Guy. Just says is me Barry from Ireland, plays the whole song and then he plays it again to do a review. You might want too look him up. 💕🙏🤷♀️❤️🇬🇧💗🇬🇧
you have to pause pretty often ... 3 or 4 times per video
No track this time. That was a choir singing. Watch again you will see them dancing and singing in the crowd and dressed in white.
Ha, no not Home Free, they jumped on PTX’s fame ???? They just jumped on PTX’s coat tails.
I have listened too them. I’m not saying there Bad. But me personally just love ❤️ ❤😅😊PTX. THERES only one Acapella group. And I’ve heard it. 😮😢😅😊
can you do a reaction to little drummer boy by Pentatonix plz.
Please react to the music video, too. 😊
Turn down the transparency and pause lots is how to do PTX
👋👋👋👋 Actually, all reviewers have a terrible time getting their ptx stuff posted. They use filters and words to obscure the video.
Put something over the video or fade it then you shouldnt get blocken, other creators do that
No dance a The Chior
I appreciate them trying to mimic guitar sounds as you said, but I did not care for it. The beatboxer could have repeated and lopped his sounds or they could have used another sound as a replacement for the guitars. I guess I was expecting more like what this guy did th-cam.com/video/I7v5gpWe8ds/w-d-xo.html
I went and listened and all I have to say is - different opinions make the world go ‘round ✌🏼
This isn’t the best live video of ptx.
0ou came on dude. They don’t have thr computer I can’t believe kyou dissed PTFX 🥹😢😢😢😢
