      @@annavaskelainen some added context - there is an objectionable, exceptionally crude street term of “byatch-slapped” (um, you can work out the actual term, no doubt). It’s basically, a pimp slapping one of his prostitutes into compliance, or generally slapping a woman - very ugly, yes.
      A lot of street terms have been reclaimed and entered the mainstream via music, movies, and culture that someone as old as I am would find shocking. But I can understand why Af. Americans reclaim and own the N-word, women reclaim and own the B-word, etc. (it’s “no, you don’t get to use that word against us, we get to own it and use it, so F-you!” It’s reclaiming power. I’m still not comfortable with it, but, yeah.)
      Mitch-slapped is a light, playful play on a very ugly term, and your Mitch-slap moment was delicious.
      BTW - where did you get your English? It’s very clear (um, duh, what else would a self-respecting vocal coach have?), but there is a hint of an accent.
      Side note: for reference, years ago I was approached by a young woman asking directions for busses in Seattle. She spoke American English, accent and all. I gave it to her, and asked where she was traveling from. Germany! What? Ok. “What happened to the accent?”, I asked. She replied she spent a year as a high-school exchange student in Indiana. And then she effortlessly slipped into a German-intonation speaking English for a sentence or two (Oh jah jah!) to show she was authentic! Loved it. Since then, I alway wonder how good non-native English come by their accent.

    A wonderful Mitch-slap (the reaction people getting to hearing Mitch the 1st time). The catalog of PTX music on TH-cam is very large, so lots for you to react to. From their 1st big hit here Daft Punk Medley to their latest brilliant performance of The Prayer. Along with Imagine, Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody, all their Christmas music, Aha! (live from the Star Vista in Singapore) and so many more. Plus don't miss their off-PTX work Superfruit (Mitch and Scott, often with friends), Messer (Mitch), but also solo work by Kevin.

    Hi, again, Anna! Congratulations! I've watched many, dozens if not hundreds, of reactions to PTX singing this marvellous song and you are only the second reactor to pick up on the background vocals reproducing Jeff Buckley's guitar picking and Scott's "..minor fall and major lift..". 👍🏼 You cannot go wrong in choosing anything they've done...they've never disappointed me and I've been following them since shortly after SingOff. Sony (SME) protects them like gold, because they are just that, so copyright strikes are the norm. From that point of view, their "Evolution of..." series are safe choices. You might enjoy their cover of "Shallow". It's the only time Kirstin and Scott have sung TO each other, and Kevin does some cello-boxing. BTW, Angelina Jordan is using TikTok to experiment. A few of them are nearly full length covers. Her face is always in unobstructed close-up for your analysis in these raw videos. Her control of her instrument has jumped yet another level in the last year.

    Loved the analysis and comments on the singers, and the Mitch-slap was a real winner!
    While it has absolutely nothing to do with the music or performance, I've always loved the way the audience reacts to this song. You can tell that they're very aware of the arrangement, and they are also amazingly (in this day and age) polite to both the performers and other audience members. There are short outbursts of applause and cheers for favorite singers, but it very quickly dies down to silence, so that everyone at the concert can enjoy the performance without interference from the noise of the audience.

    I think you got 'Avi Slapped' as well! --- or was it 'Avi Melted'? 😆This is 10% of what Avi can do. For something really great & shockingly different suggest you go next to their Daft Punk Medley. They are all excellent 'lead' singers - but their blended skills are next level. Aside from the beauty of what they create together - the other standout about PTX is how they help each other to individually Shine! 😍👍

    Sound or silence and the Prayer are exquisite on single song prowess.
    Their medleys are jaw dropping how they recreate the sounds with their voices.

    Oh my ! I do not speak any Finnish but the sound of your voice makes me want to learn. I enjoyed and appreciated the English captions very much because what you had to say was intelligent and based on a fine understanding of voice and language. I admit that despite how much I enjoyed what you said and what I learned from it. I went back and went through it a second time with my eyes closed so I could listen to both songs; the one PTX was singing and also the one you were singing. Because while I do not understand the words, the emotions, the feelings and the innate joy you have in what you do and in life is not only apparent but it has it's own rhythm and musicality with delightful variations in tone and timbre and dynamics. When you do speak english it is done so well it is hard to believe it is not your "mother tongue". Thank you for this gift you have given us. You have enhanced my concept of Finland and the Finnish language and given me insight into the music of PTX . It is probably probably too forward and bold a thing to say but you are also a treat for people's eyes.

    I love hearing professional analyses of their performances, and yours did not disappoint! Another vocal coach reactor described Kirstin's voice as "like a blade"! You may not know that although they create the basis for their arrangements by themselves, the final product is at least as much the work of their arranger Ben Bram. Those suspended chords are one of his favorite elements. I really hope that you do more from them. I would love for you to eventually work up to their recent release The Prayer, and then watch the documentary of the process that went into their recording of the album it's from, _Evergreen_ . The video is called The Recording of Evergreen. I think you will really appreciate seeing them work with Ben, and the dedication with which they work to give individual phrases the best possible performance.

With a crazy tragic world roaring around us, God allows a spark of what we can be and what we will be one day and these young people take us to a transcendent moment and a yearning that resides so deep while we live here in this place that can not fulfill it. Having watched a few reactions all with the same response just clearly shows that when you strip away the physical we obsess over, we all have the same needs and desires and one day they will be met with perfect love and unity. Precious moments for sure! God Bless you young lady!

    Anna, SUPER reaction...but, you stated you need more of them. Yet, it's been nearly 6 months, and still waiting for you to react to more of their music. They have hundreds of videos, but am recommending a couple of LIVE versions..."Gold" (Kiiara cover); "Coffee in Bed" (original from Jimmy Kimmel show); and "Problem" (Ariana Grande video cover from a radio show). This group is UBER talented.
    A different recommendation...there is a guitarist, who is the greatest ever on the planet (IMO...may even be an Alien). His name is MARCIN, currently a 22 year old from Poland, but this video is when he was 17 ...it's called "Tall Fiddler" (by Tommy. Emmanual), and he will ABSOLUTELY blow you away !!!!

    Anna, thank you so much for your great reaction to my favorite group. As everyone has said, it's especially nice to see a very first reaction to this amazing group of artists. You really gave such informed comments and it was wonderful to hear the more technical analysis as opposed to some who have no musical training. You've gotten plenty of suggestions for future reactions and I concur with them all. I didn't see Scott's original song, Thank You that is absolutely beautiful and so appropriate for our current times. Looking forward to future reactions.

    An excellent well-informed reaction and I love the way you slip from Finnish to English and back so effortlessly. Avi is an opera trained bass with a large range and although he has a few solo slots in the Pentatonix catalogue (for example the segment of Bruckner’s Christus Factus Est’ at the beginning of the live versions of ‘Aha’ or ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ and especially ‘Standing By’ where he takes the lead), you’ll need to visit his solo work to really appreciate him. Staying with Pentatonix though, their ‘Daft Punk’ medley, their original ‘Love Again’ their heart rending version of ‘Say Something’ and their astonishing ‘Evolution of Michael Jackson’ are really worth listening to. And their version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’! After Avi left, he was replaced by Matt - and there’s another big body of work to discover right there!

I think you'd enjoy their version of Kiiara's Gold (but if you don't know the original song, toss it on to get a feel for how they switched it up, especially Mitch's mastery on the chorus) and their version of The Prayer, in particular (to hear more of their tones in combination).

    Welcome to joining us Pentaholics. I enjoyed your review even with subtitles. They do a Christmas album every year so is a fair number of religious songs. I love that they do their own songs, but to cover with their own flare pop, rock, Broadway, K pop, and more. Kevin was going to medical school but got called to join PTX. Kevin Cello-boxes, play the saxophone, and sing soprano. I will your reviews as you unwrap a gift.

    I loved your analysis and watching you become a Pentaholic after such a small sample of their incredible talent. Avi’s voice, as some ladies have described it, is like a warm, enveloping hug. One thing I love about them is their ability to pass the “lead” without trying to overshadow the others. Each puts the song first, rather than their egos.
    Please do more Pentatonix. You highlighted their bravery in doing a well known song - and their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is epic. Mary, Did You Know features a beautiful tenor solo from Kevin, and The Prayer is one of their newest, and hopefully will win them their next Grammy Award.
