Avi Kaplan change on the rise 4.15.2019 Nashville, TN at the basement

[@edriall464]

I always knew that he was more than low bass. He has so much more to show us. Thank goodness he is free to be himself.

[@rickharks4515]

Oh AVI, l do hope you can bring an entire album out of this kind of music.. just gets you in the soul... love it,

[@mauroboe916]

He did

[@Juju-nd2ln]

I agree. Don’t let the world taint your style. Please.

[@pennywells9824]

Pentatonix had to replace Avi Kaplan and we were all so sad. Avi did not have to replace Pentatonix. He seems just fine on his own

[@CP-yd7lp]

Bite your tongue! He was better being with them. They needed a bass. Avi sounds fine singing these songs alone, but he lost something so precious!

[@st4rpt_603]

Fucking hell guys get the fuck over it! He left bc he wasn't getting enough time with is friends and family.

[@pennywells9824]

@@CP-yd7lp Why can't you just let it go. The man is totally capable of making his own choices. He is not the first member to leave a musical group and he won't be the last. When Steve Perry left Journey everyone said they were done. NOT. They are still going strong. Let Avi go. Even better accept Matt for the great singer that he is.

[@lovely7156]

sometimes in order to be happy We need to let some things go, what If he was still with ptx and wasn't happy? He wasn't feeling like himself anymore, I was sad when he left but see him happy like this? there's nothing better than this...

[@lovingtheglovedone]

His decision and they respected it. They didn't replace him they evolved by bringing in someone to fulfill the harmony and add a different dynamic to the group. Avi is thriving and so is Pentatonix.

[@marlomchenry6760]

I also forgot to say I love his green eyes and his long slightly curly hair. I like it down but I miss his man bun. I also like his shy, vulnerable smile when he puts himself out there to perform. God, I am being such a GIRL( a 40- something) but I have a massive crush on this talented, handsome young man. Let me go. It's late. Bye and thanks. Again.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Lol!! You should look on Twitter to find a clip one of his current bandmates posted of all of them rollerskating a few days ago. The manbun is there and Avi has Skills on rollerblades. That clip is getting so much play i think it may hit a million views too. Its the happiest thing you've ever seen.

[@tammyedwards8016]

It’s ok I am a 40 something woman. I have a crush on him also. He is very talented. I also miss his man bun.

[@donnarowe8618]

It's OK. I'm old enough to be his mother and I'm crushing on him. I'm such a cougar! :-)

UGH WHY DOES THIS RING SO TRUE FOR ME AND I AM ALMOST 277?!

[@nachtschatten8710]

Dont worry, dear. I am a 40ties woman, too, but when it comes to him I turn into a squealling mess of fan-girl in an instant. He can make one fall for him like a comet without realising it at all. I am glad though that he doesnt seem to know what power he holds.

[@marlomchenry6760]

OHMYGOD! Mr.Kaplan is such a dreamboat! He is very masculine but vulnerable. He wears his heart on his sleeve, but is very private. A nerdy, introverted tree-hugger who loves BBQ. His quiet sex appeal is off the charts. He is such a great singer and songwriter. Mr. K is going to stay true his music. I want more of this country-gospelly-what-ever music. He deserves big success as a solo singer. I am glad he left PTX . I love me some PTX, but fans got to see Mr. Kaplan's real talent only after split. He is happy. His former band is happy especially with Mr. Matt. Everyone is on good terms. If Mr. Kaplan is going to do more of this style of music he needs to get into a studio like RIGHT NOW. I will buy the CD. I wish him and PTX happiness and success. Thank you.

[@richtsje9961]

Agree with everything you say, couldn't have said it better ( I'm Dutch and over 50 and find it hard to express myself in English sometimes). PTX and Avi made me fangirling again, and making my heart feel 30 years younger again , haha

[@CP-yd7lp]

He did not need to leave PTX in order to do things like this separately. ALL his bandmates did other things separately WHILE STILL STAYING WITH THE BAND!

[@annaharrison1352]

@@CP-yd7lp C P - a question, did you hear all the songs Avi sung? There is your answer to what you are saying.

[@richtsje9961]

@@CP-yd7lp there is a video "pentatonix announces Avi Kaplan is leaving the group" ( maybe you have seen it), where he explains, why he is leaving the group. The main reason was because he struggeled with the fast pace they keep and that he needed to see his familie and friends more, when they or he needed to. And as you know, he needs to be in nature every now then. He is also dong a lot of other things as wel, like A Cappella Academy, and his album Ávriel and the sequoias"

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

@@CP-yd7lp Didn't you see how miserable he was in the documentary? Didn't you listen to Quarter Past Four? Didn't you listen to him talk in this show about the rough times he went through? Surely you don't wish him back in a situation that was so stressful to him? He is a human being like you and I and above all else deserves a good life.

[@sabrinastar1018]

@@Lookinforrealmusic I don't live in the US :(

[@livus3787]

But, if I compare him now to the 2010/11 "original" self (that most of us 'know' him since), I don't see much diff. except hair lenght :) I mean, I don't know how to explain it, but back to the sweet, joyoeus, hopeful 'it' s a fresh start' feel, opposed to the "imma cool mysterious handsome dude" image he supposed to take on with the band, If that makes sense

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

@@livus3787 thats what I see in him too, he IS back to that joy and the change is just wonderful. It's evident from the smile, and the way he talks, and the way he sings, the way he interacts with his band and the crowd. Im so happy for him.
