The sounds are all them...this was their first Grammy winner. Their is a video out their that is Daft Punk private performance. They performed it in a small room for a hand full of people without mics. It's very raw and filmed on a phone but you can definitely tell that they are doing it all. Only bad part is with mics the trio kind of out shadows Avi and Kevin but you can definitely know it's all talent. Oh, and this was a mash up of like 7 Daft Punk songs so know wonder you were confused!😊
You think Avi & Kevin are outshone by the trio with mics? I feel like the opposite is true, especially with headphones on, like this medley is crazy A&K action lol. 🤩🤘🔥💜
It certainly isn't hard to understand why they won their first Grammy for this performance. Loved how excited you got about the performance and the arrangement.
Love Again is an original they recorded about the same time with the same vibe. There is a backstage interview where they sing it live close up, very impressive
Daft Punk was an EDM group, mostly French House style. Supposedly French guys, but always wore large motorcycle helmets or something like that. Recently retired with a flamboyant (I said French, right?) explosion video. Something like 20 years of ground breaking EDM work. This is 7 of their songs in a cool DJ mix style medley.
Avi and Kevin work together so we’ll in this. They are truly the heartbeat of this medley! And Avi does some overtone in this too I believe (singing two notes at once…it’s supernatural sounding!) Eeek!!!! I get so excited to see your PTX reactions pop up! This is one of my all time favorites. It’s no wonder they won their first Grammy for it!
Back in the beginning when they were broke and won the Sing-Off, and then they all moved to L.A. and then the record company dropped them thinking acapella wasn’t a money maker (stupid move!), to save money Avi and Kevin shared an apartment. You can only imagine how their evenings were spent working out the percussion/base for their songs. They were on the same wavelength and they were both so in sync with each other they couldn’t help but be outstanding.
to be clear, they won a grammy for the arrangement - and because the award at the time was for "best INSTRUMENTAL arrangement", the Grammys actually changed the category to "best arrangement, instrumental or acapella".
YESSSS. We all knew you were going to react like this. Props for calling out Avi and Mitch by name. I'm not good with names, either but this group has earned the memorizing I had to do in the beginning. They're so personable. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin have known each other since before high school (or something like that) and it is evident that they are the epitome of Best Friends Forever. Once they brought Avi and Kevin on to fill out the group, it was literally like magic. One of their STRENGTHS is their differences. They have different voices, different backgrounds, different religions, different orientations, different opinions, but they bring all of these to the table to craft what you've been experiencing. It is obvious that this performance took an extraordinary amount of work on their part to make it what it is. It's actually a collection of various songs (a medley) by the group "Daft Punk", which you seem to have recognized in part. Near the end they're actually singing the lyrics from two different Daft Punk songs at the same time. The attention to detail that they put into their craft is absolutely mind-boggling and two huge reasons for that is because they love each other and they love music. They study it. They know EXACTLY what they are doing. Then, after that, they realized they had amassed a huge fan base and they love us too. Keep up the good work. Give some shout outs to Kevin for his insane beatboxing, Scott for his absolutely versatile voice, and Kirstin for her amazing belting that cuts through the wall of sound that everyone else creates. My latest suggestion: "Wizard of Ahhhs" on Todrick Hall's channel. He collaborated with them to make one of their most amazing music videos. It's quite an adventure, and Todrick is a Queen :)
And after the Reaction to "Wizard of Ahhhs" do the BTS of this video also; for yourself or as a Reaction. Is it more than worth to watch it IMHO. And.... Happy New Year from Germany
It’s all them. 1st Grammy win. They filmed it in Kevin and Avi s kitchen Spent $400. Used talent and Insane imagination. It’s a medley and such a fun Mix. I mean they love a challenge. I love them then and I love them now. Thanks for great reaction
I'm a 72 year old woman and I just can't get enough of this group...I love,love,love them...God I would've to see them before my time is up...if I had a bucket list...this would be on the top...everything they touch is on top...amazing!!!!
I love how when he got to Harder, better, and the transition into Television. Every time he wanted to comment something else hit him and left him speechless. Finally he was just done :)
I have listened to Home Free, and while I agree they are very talented, I have to say that even songs that move me, Home Free has never moved me to tears, like Pentatonix.
If you can afford it, do the VIP experience. You will get to meet them before the show and have a picture taken with them. Then they give you a private performance of one song. It's worth every penny. They truly are humble and a joy to be around. When I arrived at the venue, I could hear them practicing Hallelujah. Even that was amazing.
This song really melts your mind. It shows off just how crazy awesome they are. Another great one to check out is their Evolution of Michael Jackson video.
It’s definitely all them! This was very early on in their career. They had very little money for production, they filmed it in Kevin and Avi’s apartment 🤣
Seeing them live in concert solidified them as my favourite band! They are not only vocally gifted but the love they have for performance is evident! Pentatonix is a gift!
We saw them in an smaller outdoor venue at our State Fair. This one was unreal live. As was Natural Disaster. Scott taught the audience part of the chorus to Natural Disaster and we all sang along. ❤️
I found Home Free by binging Pentatonix songs & reactions and then discovered Voiceplay! I really enjoy these groups for their differences and their talent! No camp for me. Just lucky to be able to listen to all of them! Great reaction Larry!
Just have to say that your joy, glee & honest enjoyment of the music is incredibly fun to watch & share. Plus I have to smile like a goof every time I see you grinning so happily-you have a contagious Happy Face!
Avi has actually worked with Home Free. He had a guest appearance on their video for Ring of Fire. The Phaser effect Avi does in this song is one of my favorite elements of this medley.
Every time I watch/listen to this I’m astounded with so many aspects of this. Avi is amazing in this, as well as Kevin creating the framework to awesomeness. The makeup and effects are fun and vocals on point per usual.
Welcome to our group!! We Pentaholics stick together. You need to check out " Say something" and "Imagine" for sure. And so many others. Can't wait to see the reactions.
I've watched several dozens of reacitons to this video since it's release in 2014 and I've NEVER seen anyone NOT dropping their jaw to the floor, smiling almost to the point of pain, unable to sit still, sitting there totally flabbergasted (that includes my own experience when I saw/heard this video the first time in 2014). It's impossible not to feel joy, tap your foot or your entire body etc.. And yes, since that video was released I pretty sure that a majority of the viewers got an increased heart rate and higher blood pressure due to Kirsties visuals and incredible voice; they've all got amazing voices and know how to use them, each with their own timbre and range. Her cute smirky smile during her solo section in this video has probably tugged at many viewers heart strings over the years (including mine). :)
They are a once in....ever?...collection of amazingly talented people. I wish I could hear this song of theirs for the first time again. BLEW my friggin mind the first time I heard it. FYI - the first song I ever heard of Pentatonix was the Radioactive cover. You should check it out!
Yay! I love this one! Well, who am I kidding, I love them all! 😂 This one landed them their first Grammy. Great reaction, as usual! Edit: And asking someone to choose between Pentatonix and Home Free is like asking them to choose which of their children they'd like to keep. 😏
Fun Fact: PTX fans are called Pentaholics, Home Free fans are called Home Fries and the mix that like them both are called Pentafries! LOL Just saying!
I've listened to Home Free and I just can't get into them, something just annoys me. I'm pretty sure it's the accents or the fact there is no real diversity in the group.
Can't believe this was so early in their careers, it's just too good! This was the first Grammy, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies the second. Everyone says it's a song without words done by a group without instruments.😊 Third Grammy Jolene with Dolly Parton. Predict the fourth will be The Prayer, hopefully.
Mitch would have been on every girl's wall on a poster (the irony..lol) if he had been around during the boy band era, his pop voice in this is phenomenal.
And just think - he was bullied in high school for his high voice. They say that doing well is the best revenge. If I were him I don't believe I could resist doing a bit of gloating.
My daughter and I have seen them in person twice in Hershey. Unfortunately, they did not perform this song. But, they are as amazing in person as their videos!
This is a medley, a collection of seven (7) songs! It was arranged by Ben Bram, who has been with them from the jump. He was also a named recipient of the award.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you fall deeper into your love for PTX. They are amazing. I got to see them Christmas week this year, but of course they focused in Christmas songs, but they were AMAZING! :)
Love both and they are very different. This medley is crazy!!! This Grammy winning video was made for a total of...400 dollars LOL! Got to see them just a few days ago...they are AMAZING!!!!!!! I'm 100% for a collab!!! Great reaction man!
If you haven't already seen it, there is a private live rendition of this. It is literally in a hallway or something next to a bathroom with no mikes. I'm sure you could find the link.
Exactly! Both groups excel. Unfortunately for those that have closed their minds, their focus has only diminished the musical journey they could have experienced. I include Voice Play in my A Capella triumvirate. Each group fills a niche, not really competing with, but complimenting, each other.
Happy New Year! Thanks for your reaction to their first Grammy award winning arrangement. As you know, Pentatonix won the 3rd season of "Sing Off" and part of their prize was a recording contract which was dropped two weeks later with them being told that acapella was a novelty that would not sell because no one would be that interested in acapella groups. They struggled on their own posting on You Tube and scraped up $400 between them and made this in the kitchen and closet of the apartment that Avi and Kevin shared. After that, more doors opened for Pentatonix. Pentatonix, Home Free and Voice Play all became friends on a mission to promote acapella music that is unique in style and they are very supportive of each other. Home Free and Voice Play were both on 4th season of "Sing Off' and have done some covers together as Avi Kaplan has performed as a guest with Home Free in "Ring Of Fire". It is often said that these 3 acapella groups are like high school: Pentatonix are student council members, Voice Play are the drama/theater kids, and Home Free are the guys in the parking lot hosting a tail gate party. Love all three of them! Please check out Voice Play's "Hoist The Colours"-- you will be blown away!
This was my introduction to PTX one evening some years ago, and after numerous repeats (forget how many!), I fell down their rabbit hole. Still sad Avi left, but very pleased to see, and hear, his solo output. You should maybe check some of that out? “Change on the Rise” is wonderful!! Great reaction as always, and congratulations on reaching a dozen k’s, may they multiply 🤗
Happy new year! This is a medley of seven Daft Punk songs: Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Television Rules The Nation and Around The World.
This was an amazing performance that I saw live in one of their concerts early on. Wow. So spectacular. And, honest to God, they sound amazingly accurate to their video. I also heard them talk about their process in arranging this piece and how much fun they had making it. And remember this was early in their career. They have come so Far!! Happy new year
Loved your reaction! These people are AMAZING! The difference in music is the country flair by HF, and PTX has a more diverse style of music (and including the individual style of each.) They know 18th century to music of today. And they can mimic instruments as well as style and everything in between, plus they give a song an upgrade and their own twist. When PTX came on the scene, they taught the world what a cappella is. That was in season 3 of THE SING OFF. HF was on season 4. Home Free had good music but it improved dramatically after PTX won season 3. They added new vibes, techniques, and nuances. I like to think that PTX taught the world how to sing! And they have a video, SING. It was for their fans. They LOVE their fans! There is no comparison, they both have it locked in for success!
That is actually them singing. I went to their concert in Toronto a few years ago. they did this song live...It was insane. I was so glad I went. I really enjoyed it. Honestly Avi's Bass rocked the whole concert hall.
I got a shout out 💖😁 Thank you! Sorry Bohemian Rhapsody got nuked. Daft Punk is a French group that did these songs, and I think covers or remixes were popular club songs. Their videos had alot of robots and sci fi stuff in them. Love Again is a Pentatonix original video with very similar effects. Perfume, a medley from an oriental group, is beautiful and fun too. When I want a random good Pentatonix one I get on their page and see if there is a song I like, and watch how they do it. Is always good. Thanks for a great reaction! Oh, Emma gave you a link that has them with no mics doing Daft Punk, private performance, it is great! 😁😁😎
When i first saw this video i had to watch it three times before i figured out that they were doing those 'glitch' effects with only their voices. The other thing that blew me away was Mitch and Scott singing a verse with a staccato style that sounded like an EDM mix. And to tie it all together, Avi and Kevin laid down what sounded like a five layer bass/perc track... just jaw-dropping talent. If ya heard it on the radio, you'd never know it was Acapella. 😁
Great reaction! The sound effects Kevin creates in their original song ‘Love Again’ will really blow your mind. It doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves.
Idk if you realized that this was a medley of Daft Punk songs they mashed up together. It's not just one song. They used to have the word Medley on the video title, but it must have been removed a long time ago. If you loved this one, then you'll definitely love one of their original songs with the same EDM feel to it, called LOVE AGAIN. They released that around the same time as this one. The video concept was similar. They are like Steampunk aliens sounding cosmically amazing. Kevin does a bass drop that knocks me out every time. I just want to go hard on the dance floor. And Mitch was high pitch perfection. Just a beast on this song.
Believe it or not, they recorded this in, I believe 2013 for $400 in a closet, Incredible. So sorry to miss Bohemian Rap. I would have loved to watch you see that for the first time, Great reaction.
Home Free and PTX unfortunately have yet to do a full collab … HOWEVER … Home Free DID have Avi Kaplan feature on their cover of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”! Check out the video!
Your response to music, no matter the genre or performers is awesome - no comparisons in regard to "these are better" etc is what I enjoy the most Heads up: any medleys performed by performers won't be copyrighted, simply because of the nature of medleys - have at it, you're in for a glorious ride if you delve into this area too lol
Great reaction!!! Your facial expressions are priceless! The talent of Pentatonix is shown very well in this performance. The sounds they can make are so well done that most people swear they are using enhancements or tracks behind them. It is so good that there are not sufficient words to describe them. I have been with you on this journey and will continue to come along with you. Watching your reactions to them is very satisfying and makes me excited...like I'm seeing them again for the first time. Almost like I'm a proud momma showing off her baby. I know...sounds weird, but that's the best way to describe it. It's too bad the Bohemian Rhapsody was blocked. I would have loved to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on this one. I thought this one also deserved a Grammy, but sadly it did not. Now, another song similar to this one which really showcases their sound talents is 90's Dance Medley. Their voices in this one are so much like the instruments that it is uncanny. I believe you will love this one and will also recognize all the songs. They do use autotune in the Cher song...only because Cher used it. Thanks again for bringing us a great reaction and for all the work you put into these videos for our watching pleasure. Sending you love from Texas! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! You should think about doing the Sing Off performances (aka: PTX Origins). While Mitch, Kirstie & Scott have known each other since childhood, Kevin and Avi joined the group days prior to auditioning for the show and *spoiler alert* they won Season 3. It’s fascinating to watch them evolve and improve every week and hearing the judges thoughts on live TV. I think you’d really enjoy the journey. Here’s a link to their performance on episode 1. th-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/w-d-xo.html
Happy New Year, I love this medley, and it is perfectly ok to like more than one group, or band or singer, good for you there is more to enjoy that way.
That skipping thing they did is something they know how to do. Before they became big they were on the singing competition show The Sing-Off(which they won) one of the performances they had to do was Video Killed the Radio Star where they did this skipping in the song. Thi stunned the judges because they had never seen a group do this live and without sound editing. You should check out some of their performances from this show.
That's them. They do it live in concerts. Thanks for your reaction. Forgot to mention there is a video of them recording the EVERGREEN album. Putting 14 songs together in 2 weeks!
Brain cramp? I think that's the only way to describe their version of Daft Punk. I love how you react to all their videos and I wish we could have seen your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody. Your observations are spot on and I hope you get to enjoy their concert
I'm more of a Home Fry than a Pentaholic, but this is one of my favourites of theirs - it's so well done. At their level, it really isn't about who's better, it's all about personal taste in music and in style. And the awesome video made by FifGen films - they made videos for PTX, Home Free and Peter Hollens, among others. One of them, Jimmy Bates, is still filming and editing for both groups. the other two, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber are now making their own music and videos as the Hound and the Fox. They're a super talented, sweet couple, well worth checking out.

This! Yes! Watch this. You no this was videod in a closet i heard, with 1 ring light

You think Avi & Kevin are outshone by the trio with mics? I feel like the opposite is true, especially with headphones on, like this medley is crazy A&K action lol. 🤩🤘🔥💜
Just boggles the mind that Kevin can beatbox SO fast!
🌟PENTATONIX won their first Grammy with this arrangement🌟
No auto tune, no instruments just pure talent, private audition just a table full of judges nothing else you will believe it after you watch this.
The skipping is all them on their own. They can do it live. It’s pretty crazy.
Awesome!
It certainly isn't hard to understand why they won their first Grammy for this performance. Loved how excited you got about the performance and the arrangement.
Love Again is an original they recorded about the same time with the same vibe. There is a backstage interview where they sing it live close up, very impressive
Yesssss, highly recommend Love Again
Daft Punk was an EDM group, mostly French House style. Supposedly French guys, but always wore large motorcycle helmets or something like that. Recently retired with a flamboyant (I said French, right?) explosion video. Something like 20 years of ground breaking EDM work.
This is 7 of their songs in a cool DJ mix style medley.

Wizard of Ahhhs is definitely worth reviewing
And after the Reaction to "Wizard of Ahhhs" do the BTS of this video also; for yourself or as a Reaction. Is it more than worth to watch it IMHO.

Oh you need to do Sing, Can’t Hold Us and Problem! They’re all such fun songs!
Great reaction as always! Enjoy the listening!!
They have a live version on TH-cam. It is a medley of several songs and PTX won a Grammy for it. Great reaction!
You just make me smile! Love how you love both Pentatonix and Home Free! Keep the reactions coming, please!
Amazing Grace and Shallow
Impossible to watch without a smile. The very definition of fun. Appropriate reaction.
This song really melts your mind. It shows off just how crazy awesome they are. Another great one to check out is their Evolution of Michael Jackson video.
I saw them in Louisville Kentucky a month ago on their newest Christmas tour Evergreen. It was fantastic!
Avi sings with home free Ring of Fire you must give it a listen Tim and Avi together is amazing
It’s definitely all them! This was very early on in their career. They had very little money for production, they filmed it in Kevin and Avi’s apartment 🤣

Mitch would have been on every girl's wall on a poster (the irony..lol) if he had been around during the boy band era, his pop voice in this is phenomenal.

Love both and they are very different. This medley is crazy!!! This Grammy winning video was made for a total of...400 dollars LOL! Got to see them just a few days ago...they are AMAZING!!!!!!! I'm 100% for a collab!!! Great reaction man!
Thanks David!
If you haven't already seen it, there is a private live rendition of this. It is literally in a hallway or something next to a bathroom with no mikes. I'm sure you could find the link.
Pentatonix won the Grammy for Best Acapella Music Video for which Mitch and Scott accepted the award for
Exactly! Both groups excel. Unfortunately for those that have closed their minds, their focus has only diminished the musical journey they could have experienced. I include Voice Play in my A Capella triumvirate. Each group fills a niche, not really competing with, but complimenting, each other.
Watching your facial expressions was priceless!! That's what I feel when I watch them. I still can't get enough of them.
Gotta check out their 90s medley also!!
Happy New Year! Thanks for your reaction to their first Grammy award winning arrangement. As you know, Pentatonix won the 3rd season of "Sing Off" and part of their prize was a recording contract which was dropped two weeks later with them being told that acapella was a novelty that would not sell because no one would be that interested in acapella groups. They struggled on their own posting on You Tube and scraped up $400 between them and made this in the kitchen and closet of the apartment that Avi and Kevin shared. After that, more doors opened for Pentatonix. Pentatonix, Home Free and Voice Play all became friends on a mission to promote acapella music that is unique in style and they are very supportive of each other. Home Free and Voice Play were both on 4th season of "Sing Off' and have done some covers together as Avi Kaplan has performed as a guest with Home Free in "Ring Of Fire". It is often said that these 3 acapella groups are like high school: Pentatonix are student council members, Voice Play are the drama/theater kids, and Home Free are the guys in the parking lot hosting a tail gate party. Love all three of them! Please check out Voice Play's "Hoist The Colours"-- you will be blown away!
Thanks AC!
This was my introduction to PTX one evening some years ago, and after numerous repeats (forget how many!), I fell down their rabbit hole. Still sad Avi left, but very pleased to see, and hear, his solo output. You should maybe check some of that out? “Change on the Rise” is wonderful!!
Great reaction as always, and congratulations on reaching a dozen k’s, may they multiply 🤗
Thanks so much, Mrs. Tlu! I hope you had a nice New Year's Eve and an even better New Year!
Home Free has done a collab with Avi actually, they did Ring of Fire with him, definitely check it out!
Thanks for your reaction. I loved it the first time I watcged it too❤
It's so good!
Happy new year!
This is a medley of seven Daft Punk songs:
Technologic,
One More Time,
Get Lucky,
Digital Love,
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,
Television Rules The Nation and Around The World.
Thanks!!
Crazy good live. We saw them do it twice around here.
This was an amazing performance that I saw live in one of their concerts early on. Wow. So spectacular. And, honest to God, they sound amazingly accurate to their video. I also heard them talk about their process in arranging this piece and how much fun they had making it. And remember this was early in their career. They have come so Far!! Happy new year
I love you’re commentary on every video!! I’m a total Pentaholic!!!
Loved your reaction! These people are AMAZING! The difference in music is the country flair by HF, and PTX has a more diverse style of music (and including the individual style of each.) They know 18th century to music of today. And they can mimic instruments as well as style and everything in between, plus they give a song an upgrade and their own twist. When PTX came on the scene, they taught the world what a cappella is. That was in season 3 of THE SING OFF. HF was on season 4. Home Free had good music but it improved dramatically after PTX won season 3. They added new vibes, techniques, and nuances. I like to think that PTX taught the world how to sing! And they have a video, SING. It was for their fans. They LOVE their fans! There is no comparison, they both have it locked in for success!
Thanks Louella!
That is actually them singing. I went to their concert in Toronto a few years ago. they did this song live...It was insane. I was so glad I went. I really enjoyed it. Honestly Avi's Bass rocked the whole concert hall.
I got a shout out 💖😁 Thank you! Sorry Bohemian Rhapsody got nuked. Daft Punk is a French group that did these songs, and I think covers or remixes were popular club songs. Their videos had alot of robots and sci fi stuff in them. Love Again is a Pentatonix original video with very similar effects. Perfume, a medley from an oriental group, is beautiful and fun too. When I want a random good Pentatonix one I get on their page and see if there is a song I like, and watch how they do it. Is always good. Thanks for a great reaction! Oh, Emma gave you a link that has them with no mics doing Daft Punk, private performance, it is great! 😁😁😎
Thanks bud!
Happy New Year! Loved your Christmas PTX reactions, now looking forward to watching you explore more of this brilliant groups unparalleled TALENT ☀️
Same to you!
I love your pentatonix reactions, can't wait to see more. 😍
I love how Mitch smiles in most of the videos.
You really need to watch their Sing-Off performances!! They even surprise the judges with the skipping sounds.
Just rewatched. The official word is Eargasm! 🤣❣️🏴
lol!
I don’t know if you have seen it but Home Free did "Ring of Fire" with Avi. It is amazing!
Roll On The Floor Laughing! Brain cramp, yes indeed.
This song is Just like this Live
Check out their daft punk private performance! Really- it’s all them!
It’s hard to hear the bass, and some of Kevin, but it’s shot on a cell phone from a bit of a distance, so it’s understandable. They still crush it!
When i first saw this video i had to watch it three times before i figured out that they were doing those 'glitch' effects with only their voices. The other thing that blew me away was Mitch and Scott singing a verse with a staccato style that sounded like an EDM mix. And to tie it all together, Avi and Kevin laid down what sounded like a five layer bass/perc track... just jaw-dropping talent. If ya heard it on the radio, you'd never know it was Acapella. 😁
Well-said!
Great reaction! The sound effects Kevin creates in their original song ‘Love Again’ will really blow your mind. It doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserves.
It’s always like going on a roller coaster ride….!
Idk if you realized that this was a medley of Daft Punk songs they mashed up together. It's not just one song. They used to have the word Medley on the video title, but it must have been removed a long time ago.
If you loved this one, then you'll definitely love one of their original songs with the same EDM feel to it, called LOVE AGAIN. They released that around the same time as this one. The video concept was similar. They are like Steampunk aliens sounding cosmically amazing. Kevin does a bass drop that knocks me out every time. I just want to go hard on the dance floor. And Mitch was high pitch perfection. Just a beast on this song.
Believe it or not, they recorded this in, I believe 2013 for $400 in a closet, Incredible. So sorry to miss Bohemian Rap. I would have loved to watch you see that for the first time, Great reaction.
Home Free and PTX unfortunately have yet to do a full collab … HOWEVER … Home Free DID have Avi Kaplan feature on their cover of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire”! Check out the video!
Your response to music, no matter the genre or performers is awesome - no comparisons in regard to "these are better" etc is what I enjoy the most
Heads up: any medleys performed by performers won't be copyrighted, simply because of the nature of medleys - have at it, you're in for a glorious ride if you delve into this area too lol
Thanks so much, Chris!
Great reaction!!! Your facial expressions are priceless! The talent of Pentatonix is shown very well in this performance. The sounds they can make are so well done that most people swear they are using enhancements or tracks behind them. It is so good that there are not sufficient words to describe them. I have been with you on this journey and will continue to come along with you. Watching your reactions to them is very satisfying and makes me excited...like I'm seeing them again for the first time. Almost like I'm a proud momma showing off her baby. I know...sounds weird, but that's the best way to describe it.
It's too bad the Bohemian Rhapsody was blocked. I would have loved to see your reaction and hear your thoughts on this one. I thought this one also deserved a Grammy, but sadly it did not.
Now, another song similar to this one which really showcases their sound talents is 90's Dance Medley. Their voices in this one are so much like the instruments that it is uncanny. I believe you will love this one and will also recognize all the songs. They do use autotune in the Cher song...only because Cher used it.
Thanks again for bringing us a great reaction and for all the work you put into these videos for our watching pleasure.
Sending you love from Texas!
Happy New Year!
Thanks Michelle! You are so very kind! Wishing you a wonderful New Year!
There are live versions to see that they can do it all live, no editing
Great reaction - thank you for reviewing this piece! 😀
Happy New Year! You should think about doing the Sing Off performances (aka: PTX Origins). While Mitch, Kirstie & Scott have known each other since childhood, Kevin and Avi joined the group days prior to auditioning for the show and *spoiler alert* they won Season 3. It’s fascinating to watch them evolve and improve every week and hearing the judges thoughts on live TV. I think you’d really enjoy the journey. Here’s a link to their performance on episode 1. th-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/w-d-xo.html
so here for that!!
The Sing Off series is so much fun!
Happy New Year, I love this medley, and it is perfectly ok to like more than one group, or band or singer, good for you there is more to enjoy that way.
That skipping thing they did is something they know how to do. Before they became big they were on the singing competition show The Sing-Off(which they won) one of the performances they had to do was Video Killed the Radio Star where they did this skipping in the song. Thi stunned the judges because they had never seen a group do this live and without sound editing. You should check out some of their performances from this show.
That's them. They do it live in concerts. Thanks for your reaction. Forgot to mention there is a video of them recording the EVERGREEN album. Putting 14 songs together in 2 weeks!
They must have had fun making this video. Loved your reaction, as usual.
it was opening song of their concerts during tour after this song was released, you can find their concerts from that time on YT
Brain cramp? I think that's the only way to describe their version of Daft Punk. I love how you react to all their videos and I wish we could have seen your reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody. Your observations are spot on and I hope you get to enjoy their concert
I'm more of a Home Fry than a Pentaholic, but this is one of my favourites of theirs - it's so well done. At their level, it really isn't about who's better, it's all about personal taste in music and in style.
And the awesome video made by FifGen films - they made videos for PTX, Home Free and Peter Hollens, among others. One of them, Jimmy Bates, is still filming and editing for both groups. the other two, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber are now making their own music and videos as the Hound and the Fox. They're a super talented, sweet couple, well worth checking out.
