    Kevin is never left out. He's one man who literally represents a whole band, whole orchestra. Others are like peaks of the mountain which reach out in this song and Kevin is like the mountain itself. He's a single man who literally becomes many the very moment he does, well, anything.

      Billy Finlay it's quite debatable whether Avi or Mitch is better, since avi has great tone and support on his upper range while also having relaxed strong lows while Mitch has great manipulation of his tone on his belts, perfect mixing, an incredible falsetto and overall great control. They both have their strengths and some weaknesses such as for Avi, he doesn't have as good control on his upper range and might isn't terribly comfortable anywhere in the second octave

  • @UserHorologium

    "Imagine" is the best opportunity to hear Kevin sing in Pentatonix; he has the lead in the last stanza, and he also hits the diva notes in the "wall of sound" right before that final stanza. Most of the time, he is busy beatboxing, but a few of their songs don't require a beat box, which frees him up to sing. "Can't Help Falling in Love" is an example of them singing intricate five part harmonies (no beatboxing), and so is their original composition "Run To You". A number of their Christmas songs have Kevin singing a line or two, where he can stop providing the beat for a moment. Kevin's range is interesting, as he can hit incredibly low notes as a beatboxer, and astonishingly high notes as a vocalist. As was noted by SorrowW0lf, there are many examples of Kevin singing on his own channel here on TH-cam; his specialty there is looping covers, where he plays cello, piano, and drums, and adds in his own beatboxing and vocals. It's quite impressive.
    FWIW, his last name is pronounced "oh LOO shoh la". Avi's first name is pronounced "AHH vee", with a broad a. The mezzo soprano is Kirstin Maldonado (Kirstin rhymes with Thurston, not Tristan) and the countertenor is Mitch Grassi, who can belt out some amazingly high notes (he regularly nails a G#5 in a number of their songs). You already know Scott, and after Avi's departure in 2017, Matt Sallee (suh LEE) stepped in as the bass. If you'd like to see some of Matt's bass work with the group, check out the covers of "Attention" or "New Rules x Are You That Somebody". Kirstin shines in "Say Something" and "Rather Be", and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a Mitch Grassi tour de force.
    Nice reaction, and would like to see more Pentatonix reactions from you.

    Scott, Kirstin (soprano), and Mitch (counter-tenor) all grew up in Texas, and have known each other since they were young teens and before. Avi and Kevin joined them later, so they could compete on a TV talent show called "The Sing-off". They won, (some money and a recording contract). The contract was cancelled soon, so they decided to do TH-cam videos, and became so well known through YT, that they were offered another recording contract. They have the best selling Christmas album of all time, and several Grammys, and a HUGE fandom called the Pentaholics.

      No, pambarab knows what she is talking about. Mitch is a Countertenor and you had probably never heard that term used before. So, I shall explain.
      The CounterTenor is the highest male singing voice range that stretches from E3 to E5. Countertenors usually sing their high notes in falsetto, but Mitch does not!
      He can make those notes in his natural voice. That is testimony to how good he is. The lower notes for a Countertenor are usually sung in a modal voice.
      This is precisely what Mitch does for the lower range of his voice.

    Pentatonix is an insanely talented group. They are undoubtedly the best a capella group around and have won 3 Grammys. They do mostly covers but there is also a fairly large body of original work that they have composed themselves. There are so many that I wouldn't know where to start with recommendations. Please do your self the favor of doing more reactions. The beat boxer, Kevin has developed a very good singing voice in addition to his very impressive beat boxing skills. He is also a classically trained cellist, plays piano/keyboard and used to play very good saxophone in high school and did a sax performance at Carnegie Hall. As if that isn't enough he has a degree from Yale University and speaks flawless Mandarin Chinese.

    Yeah, when I first heard them, it seemed like the planets had crossed a certain way to bring them together. Scott, Mitch (tenor) and Kirstie (girl) met as kids of 9 or 10 in Arlington, TX, in local musical theater productions. They performed as a trio in high school and decided to go on a TV a capella competition show called The Sing-Off, but realized they needed more voices. They saw Kevin in a YT video "cello-boxing", and a friend told Scott about Avi. They all met just 2 days before the audition for the show (!) and they ended up winning (!!!) With a lot of hard work, they have built a great playlist of music, both originals and covers, had 2 TV specials, and toured all over the world. A few other videos that show their individual skills and ability to arrange music are "PTX Evolution of Michael Jackson" and "PTX Daft Punk" for which they won their first of 3 Grammys. Also, check out "PTX Can't Sleep Love", a great original song. And if you really want to see Avi and Mitch blow the roof off, check out "PTX - Aha!, Singapore, The Star Vista" (a live performance). Love to see more reactions to those, or any suggested by others.

    Should listen to either Pentatonix versions of Imagine and or Mary do you know. Both include Kevin singing. And if you really want to feel creatively inadequate, check out Kevin's solo performance of Down or Sign of the Times. He's mindblowingly talented. They all are really, including Matt who replaced Avi.

    Watch some of the other videos and you will hear Kevin's tenor voice... His beat boxing is so important to support the three part harmony of Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch, that he rarely participates as a tenor and he has a very good voice and it has improved markedly over the years. As someone else said, listen to Mary Did You Know.

    When you have seen more Pentatonix videos, you'll discover that Mitch has an incredible range. When the group was asked who was the "best" singer among them, the other four all turned and pointed at Mitch. Also, Kevin is a "beatboxer", which has become a standard inclusion in a capella groups. Understand, there are NO instruments recorded in "Hallelujah". Everything you hear that *sounds* like an instrument, drum, etc, is all being done by Kevin, using only his own body. He does also sing, has a beautiful voice, and plays cello as well. I also recommend "Mary Do You Know" to give you another view into the incredible range of Pentatonix. FIVE amazing singers.

    Several have mentioned that Kevin Olusola plays cello. He’s a world-class cellist. He’s come in second in competitions, where the musician who came in first was...Yo-Yo Ma. He also speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese. He studied for pre-med at Yale, and tells the story that he had to choose between Pentatonix (on the Sing-Off) or going to medical school. He’s also perfecting “cello boxing”: beatboxing with the cello. Since Matt Sallee joined the group in January 2018, he and Matt have developed a comedy routine, utilizing Matt’s bass and Kevin’s cello boxing. They do that routine in concert-I saw it. It was hilarious. Another leading acapella group is Home Free-they won the Sing-Off in 2014. (Pentatonix won in 2011). Home Free’s rendition of “How Great Thou Art” will make you cry. It showcases Tim Foust, who is a true basso profundo--(he actually had also trained Avi Kaplan as a basso profundo as well). The video was shot in the summer of 2016 when they were on tour in Europe, and was filmed with cameras mounted on drones, to show the sweeping landscapes of the Austrian Alps!)

    • @redpencil6449
      @redpencil6449 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good suggestion. Also, the Home Free version of "Ring of Fire" also features Avi Kaplan, and really shows off his bass range. Avi and Tim from Home Free have similar ranges but different sounds, and both are awesome. For whatever reason, Home Free hasn't gained the following of Pentatonix, but they tour constantly and all of them have outstanding voices and harmonies. Last, I echo other comments to listen to "Aha" from the Pentatonix Singapore live concert at the Star Vista because it not only showcases Mitch's incredible singing, but also shows Avi's beautiful low range.

      And their new bass (He also does baritone) Matt Sallee, does a verse on this and KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK. Avi is happy and doing well on his own. I’m glad they’ve been able to continue with Matt. Their sound is slightly different (different singers and styles!); and Matt is SO positive and upbeat he’s also brought a new dynamic to the group!!

  • @formerlurkercarolina5792
    @formerlurkercarolina5792 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    I don't know if you picked up on it, but when Avi is signing, the one doing the base line is Scott. Not only are they all incredible singers, but 3 of them came from the same high school in Texas and are childhood friends. It's hard to imagine so much talent in one tiny little place, at the same time. BTW, if you're interested in hearing Scott's range, control and nuance in one place, check out his cover of "I Should Tell Your Mama on You".
