Avi Kaplan

[@savannahharrington5056]

I never had the chance to see a Pentatonix concert. But maybe I'll get to see an Avi Kaplan concert.

Savannah Harrington YESS

[@tony_macaroni_lol]

He's coming to Germany this month but my mom doesn't allow me to! I hate her for that (not really but I'm pretty pissed)

[@tarakenobi8622]

I respect Avi's decision but either way he is still my favourite member of pentatonix. I will be there for Avi and support his work but if decides to join pentatonix again I will have a scream which is higher than Mitch and kirsten.

[@leone9745]

We got your back, Avi. Go get em...

[@DreamDreadi]

i stopped the video on 11:54 because i still can't... see him cry is the most heartbreaking thing....

[@audreyistired]

But also cute as heck

[@AynenMakino]

I thought it was a beautiful tribute to add that track at the end with Avi's part missing. It's a very apt way of expressing the hole he leaves behind, but in a beautiful, respectful way.

[@julialbhrt]

I was smiling through the whole video but the end broke me. I'll miss him so much but I'll always support him and I wish him the best for his future

[@heyyy._.adoraa]

same :(

[@toontownrules413]

At first I was fine, just watching silly little clips of Avi on a chill late night, drinking soda and eating junkfood, as you do. Then the ending came and now I'm crying. But real talk here: I support Avi's decision to take a step back. If he wants to go off and do his own thing while being able to visit his family, then damn it Avi you do that. I love seeing Avi smile, and if he's happy going off on his own, then I wish him the best and I'll support him no matter what. 'Cause, you know, he isn't dead. He's just somewhere else. :')

[@LisaWolff2204]

You probably all heard about Avi taking a step back from PTX... I was and still am heartbroken about this news, but I also am happy and proud of Avi. I and we all should always only want the best for our idols and if Avi needs a break then he should get it. I'm still sad but I'm hopeful, of course, I have doubts in my mind and I know that no one can replace Avi but it's going to be okay. Pentatonix is still a thing, Avi is still doing music. No one is gone. I wanted to make a video with a lot of awesome Avi moments and here it is. There were so many more videos that I wanted to include but the video was already pretty long. Stay positive. We still have that mini tour that they're doing in the US where we'll get videos, pictures... from them. One last thing. I think that the announcement video really showed why I love them so much. It was Avi's message but they didn't just tweet it out (like other bands did) and they also didn't let him do it alone. They are there for each other, always. They still all love each other dearly and who knows if they won't make music together in the future. If anyone needs someone to talk, I'm always here. #PTXForever Twitter:@_lisaw_

[@karlydonnelly5086]

Pentatonixtime I just hope he will come back one day

[@alexisheng708]

I want to hear Avi just sing guacamole in his low voice

[@JDTankgirl]

From about 10:50 on is why I'm happy for Avi. He deserves to be happy. I get kindof irritated that people are like "boo hoo why did you leave?" He left because he loves his family & wants to be in their lives & if you love & appreciate him then you should be happy for him too..

[@Noah.2110]

That kinda gave me a hint that he would leave the group at some point

[@factoryreject8147]

Oh seeing Avi with his parents at the end 😭 Anyone who sees that and still doesn't understand why he slowed his life down... well all I can say is it takes a cold heart to not see, so I really pity them.

[@dancingindaydreams7729]

Cried for four hours yesterday.. here we go again

[@LisaWolff2204]

DancingIn Daydreams Ahh! No. Please don't watch it if you know you'll cry. Maybe give it some more hours or days 🙈 i don't wanna make someone cry (other than happy tears)

[@LaCielitaAlarcon]

me too, but we love Avi, so I think it's time to wish a good future and follow him in his new decision, Avi always be part of Pentatonix and our lives and now let 's see him on the videos as a consolation and example of life.

[@zain4019]

Pentatonixtime aw that was really sweet thank-you :)

[@jilljittles]

I LOVE THIS MAN he literally makes me smile so hard omg

[@risaAflores222]

1st was my selfish grieving crying, so sad that I will no longer see or hear Avi in future PTX performances (after this summer). I'm done crying now, and I really truly empathize with Avi's reasons for stepping back. I'm proud of him for being brave to face us fans to give us the news himself, and also proud of the whole group for supporting Avi in this difficult decision. I hope that I can be as brave as Avi and PTX when I have to make my own difficult decisions in future. Pentatonixtime, thank you for this wonderful tribute.

[@psychotique]

This is like a comedy movie wherein you laugh your heart out from the very first, then at the end, realizing the lessons and the message, makes you cry your eyes out. I miss you so much Avi!

[@janetranslates]

Thank you for this. Here I am, more than two weeks out from the announcement, and I'm finally ready to watch the responses. This one was uplifting. I teared up a little--every time Avi says goodbye to his parents, it sets me off--but that's exactly WHY he's stepping back. So I have to be happy for Avi. Whether this is temporary or permanent, I'm taking Avi at his word, from "Light in the Hallway" and "Quarter Past Four": "And everything will be OK"; "It turns out fine." And to you, Avriel Benjamin Kaplan: We're standing by.

[@charlielmao4129]

7:38 Avi made a pun without realizing it lol “You better not BEE”

[@Nolongerhere7]

“Don’t Forget to subscribe” i love that soo much

[@opfipieps5107]

The last part killed me

[@tacobell7774]

Oml, Avi steps in to the rest of PTX singing happy birthday.... *oh look at the gummy bears!*

[@JeremiahBu11frog]

:( cant describe how heartbroken i am, but still wishes the best for him…

[@xMJDaltonx]

I come back to this video often, and I still love it so much! But, can we take a moment to look at Avi's arms at 3:10? OMG

[@Dellyb12]

OMG my heart hurts and I'm crying but thank for making such a beautiful and well put together video

[@therealpixie]

Thank you so much for the wonderful choices you made for the clips. You got all my favorites in there, especially when he tucks his mom's hair behind her ears. That is the most touching moment, and really illustrates his gentleness and deep feelings, which is what we all love so much in him. Great job.

[@thanhhuongang6343]

I still regret for not coming PTX's concert when he performed :(((

[@odieredila]

The Dog Days clip BROKE ME.

[@1812Katy]

There's no such thing as "just" me, Avi!! He's the sum total.

[@reneelynch3898]

his smile melts my heart everytime, especially at 0:12 😭💓

[@carmencabrera5270]

pentatonixtime awesome. I wish I could meet you guys someday pentatonixtime.

[@hevans2110]

So talented, and the most beautiful man I think I’ve ever seen. 🧡

[@heyyy._.adoraa]

Everybody: "Happy birthday to you!..." Avi: "ohh look gummy bears" Me: xD

[@yvonnejones9940]

At 10:40 (?) I finally understood why he left. He is obviously very close to his family and family gatherings large and small rank +100 to him. Also, watching and listening to his mom, and dad, cry and sound so bereaved at not seeing on a regular basis would make any of us move closer to the fam. If I'm not mistaken, about this time he has learned ghat his mother has cancer, and I believe there is another story where he and his parents almost died in a horrible car accident. Listening to him you understand the clinching fear of loss or fear of loss. It will eat your gray cells. Thank God he had the wisdom to save himself so he could be the rock his family needed at that time. He has now emerged in 2021 wearing his adult man self, better than ever. Much love and prayers to you and yours.

[@angelaschuurman7264]

That last part had me crying. I don't have any family left beside my kids and know the feeling of missing loved ones so well. I wish him so much happiness making music and being close to those he loves

[@mckenleypearson6261]

Gosh I miss him so much. I've never missed anyone as much as I miss him

[@carminadiamente4670]

"Look at the gummy bears!!" I can never get over this man he is so fucking precious

[@ilaikunicorns]

This helped me cope so much thank you for making this it was the perfect tribute ♥️

[@Amanda-vp8ou]

I want to watch this so bad, I have come back to it so many times and I just can't.. The pain is still too real, all I do is cry. Maybe one day I will be able to make it through and enjoy the reminiscing, but now no...

[@AmebaPicoShowTV]

I LOVE THIS.

[@Itscallienow]

The ending part... It killed me... Because it shows that Avi leaves something missing when he's not there.. But still,it's something that gives me,at least,hopes that maybe he'll be back (as he said,"a step back"),and he will fill that missing part again...

[@callmewolf3910]

I already loved Avi... Then 0:42 comes along... My fucking heart. I fucking love this man.

[@aprildent8456]

He's such a beautiful man with a beautiful soul

[@tamakotran7837]

[@이정원-r5t]

Hi I'm Korean I'm pentatonix trash so I was hear that news and I shocked that news I'm so sad that news has already been reported in Korea so many Korean fans r sad and shocked. #PTXForeve (I'm not good at English probably I have an error in translation)

[@agentofcha0s]

[@judyruff6260]

And now that he is gone it really shows. I am very disappointed in some areas that have suffered in his loss. Y'all need to reel it back in some of the areas like I always thought y'all were so down to earth and dressed appropriately bit now it's like it's whatever. I'm a 58 year old mom and I hate to see Kirstie and her butt hanging out. And on a Christmas special. So not cool

[@MsTinyninja]
