    Scott has always sung the bass when Avi and now Matt take the lead. He has a RIDIC range.

    In Halleluyah Scott did bass while Avi sung solo. Scott has a tessitura that is unbelievable.

    Kevin is the beatboxer on the far right. He is NOT laying down a bass line. That distinction belongs to Matt, far left. Scott is covering the bass while Matt sings his solo.

    Scott has an immense vocal range, he jumps in when Matt, and before Avi, did sing. He reaches from bass to baritone.
    Nice to see you TWO again.

    Scott has a 6 octave range, incredible range. You are in for a serious treat at the Live show. It will be joyous. I went to their live show last year and shed tears of pure joy at the performance.

    Great reaction! Did you know that Kirstie gave birth to her daughter 6 months prior to the Hollywood Bowl concert, she's one tough cookie for going on tour within a month after giving birth, daughter's name is Elliana.

    Scott is a lyric baritone. In describing a man's vocal range, "lyric" means that his actual range exceeds his nominal range. In Scott's case his range starts about midway through a normal bass range and extends upward through most of a normal tenor range. Probably about 5 or 6 octaves.
    Kevin isn't laying down a bass bottom; Kevin is beatboxing and may be supplying some of those high bell tones. Kevin is a tenor. The lowest I've ever heard him sing was just barely in a high baritone. What you're actually hearing is Matt singing the bass harmonies, which is one of the reasons Kevin's beatboxing has such a full sound. It can be easy to miss because Matt is a good deal more subtle about it than Avi was.
    As for Matt's range, he's a lyric bass, and his range seems to be growing on an almost daily basis. He isn't QUITE down to basso profundo yet, but I expect he'll be there within another year or two. If you want to know his current range, his arrangement for the second verse of "Hallelujah" seems to have been specifically written to show off his full range. This is a live feed of "Hallelujah" from their recent world tour: th-cam.com/video/ASYzLoi810k/w-d-xo.html I recommend listening to it. Matt will blow you away.

    Both Scott and Matt are technically Baritones. I believe Matt can go a couple of notes lower than Scott. Y'all have been hearing Scott do the bass line whenever Matt, or previously Avi, were singing something other than bass in a given song.

    The tall blond guy is Scott Hoying-Baritone (most singers have a vocal range of 2 octaves, some have 3, Mariah Carrey has 5); the girl is Kirsten Maldonado, Mezzo-Soprano (the lower range of sopranos near Alto range); the guy with the hat is Mitch Grassi, Counter-Tenor (the upper ranges of the Tenors real close to the lower ranges of the Alto's/Sopranos); Avi Kaplan, Basso-Profundo, left the group, andwas replaced by the guy in the white jacket, Matt Sallee, also, Basso-Profundo; the Beatboxer is Kevin Olusola who is a Tenor, Cellist, and Cellist Beatboxer. Scott, Kirsten, and Mitch met in a high school in Arlington, TX (between Dallas and Ft.Worth, TX). After graduation they went to different colleges and majored in music. They got together for a singing competition called "Sing-Off," but 5 people were required, so Avi and Kevin came on board from referrals. The rest is history. Avi left, and Matt was introduced to the group. They are an A capella group which means no instruments. Penta is Latin for 5, and Tonix for tones - sooo, 5Tones or Penta Tonix, affectionately known as PTX. They are the Best. Thank you for your reaction.

    Scott is a baritone but can do some amazing low notes as well as high notes (don't know the technical terms). He takes over the bass when the bass singer, Avi or Matt, are singing. Great reaction! :)

    Watch one of the live shows of Mr Grinch. Kirstie’s boyfriend plays the grinch and there was a fab skit where Matt not only shines in the entire song but he also displays incredible showmanship too.

    Scott always sing the base when Avi/Matt have their solo. 😊

  • @katmit69
    @katmit69 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Scott is and always has been the backup Bass, he can go LOW. When Avi or Matt sing, Scott does the Bass. Scott has a huge range and many hidden talents. Kevin does the Beatboxing, Matt does the Bass and Scott does backup Bass if Matt is singing. But even way back, like in the original Hallelujah, when Avi was singing, Scott was doing the Bass. Kevin isn't laying down any bass. Matt does the Bass and Scott does backup. Matt's classically trained and can go as high as a high Baritone carefully. Also if you ever notice Scott and Mitch they use hand movements to mimic the notes they're singing up or down, or when they're crescendo-ing or de-crescendo-ing. A lot of singers who don't have instruments to lay down a beat, use their hands in this way.

    Can I request for you to react to 4th Impact - 4 sisters from The Philippines with amazing harmonies that will leave you speechless. In 2015 they auditioned for X Factor UK and that video has more than 189 million views. In Feb 2023 they performed before 55, 000 people in manila. They can sing any genre of song and have many covers and a few original songs on you tube.

    Great reaction! I have been following PTX since "The Sing Off". The other group to look at is Home Free...they have many covers and the members Austin Brown (high Tenor) and Tim Foust (bass with 5+ octave range) have many solo projects. Most are introduced to Home Free via "Man of Constant Sorrow" or PTX fans by "Ring of Fire ft Avi Kaplan" but they also have collabs with Lee Greenwood for "God Bless the USA" and Don McLean for "American Pie" as well as many others. Give them a look since you have seen Pentatonix and VoicePlay. The harmonies are amazing and Adam Rupp the vocal percussionist is a beast. This song from PTX is amazing...I have been following all three groups since "The Sing Off" and they are all amazing in their own rights.

    Hey guys, love this video! Pentatonix are amazingg!! Also I know you guys love Morissette Amon so I have a recommendation. You guys should react to Morissette’s song with Jason Dy called “Diyan Ba Sa Langit” which they also performed on the wish bus 3 years ago and have a music video to it.

    The bass is a singer too. You tried to differentiate bass and singer they are the same like baritones and tenors (altos and sopranos for females) are types of singer ranges (like the bass).
