The Five Faces of New Pentaholics 1. The most common is the Mitch Slapped. Commonly found when Mitch is heard for the first time in Hallelujah 2. The Wide Eyed Look of Disbelief. Normally found when you hear their Wall of Sound. Found when listening to Mary Did You Know, Imagine, and Mad World. 3. The I Didn’t Want It to End face. Most commonly found after listening to the 90s Dance Medley. It can also be found after listening to all their medleys and evolutions. 4. The Teary Eyed Look. This is commonly found when listening to an emotional song of theirs or just the sheer beauty of their work. Commonly found when listening to Mary Did You Know, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Imagine and most especially Thank You. 5. The What Did I Just Hear Face. Happens when Pentatonix starts strong, or when you hear a really special note or Kevin sound. Is usually accompanied by rewinding the video or song to make sure your ears really heard what they heard. Those times are too many to list, but the most common rewind at the start moment is the beginning of Sound of Silence.

By the way, love visual technique you are geeting past the copyright police. Much better than blurring out the video. And it's okay to love Mitch best -- the group has said themselves that Mitch has the best voice. It's his control over it that is really special. To hear that control listen to their version of Kiiara's Gold.

Matt has a beautiful voice, another great one is "The Sound of Silence" that has been recommended. Another great group is Home Free. Avi actually did a video with them called "Ring of Fire" and makes a cameo in there video of "Champagne Taste on a Beer Budget", most people miss him in the background on the bull at the end of the video. Home Free won the sing off the year after Pentatonix won it.🏆

The filter was kinda cool! They worked on perfecting this arrangement for five full years before recording it out of respect for the Queen original. The couch represents all the early videos they did singing live cover songs while sitting on a couch in one of their apartments. The moving couch represents how far they've come since then. I don't know if you're aware of their story, but Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi & Kirstin "Kirstie" Maldonado grew up together performing in local youth musical theater in Arlington, Texas. They all ended up at the same high school where they performed in the choir and formed the original version of the group known as The Trio. Scott & Kirstie graduated in 2010 and went off to college (Mitch was a class year behind and was still in high school). Kirstie went to Oklahoma and Scott went to USC. Scott joined the SoCal VoCals, a famous college a cappella group, where he met USC alum Ben Bram, who was working as a vocal coach and arranger for the NBC-TV a cappella competition show The Sing Off. Ben suggested Scott sign up The Trio for an audition in 2011, but they needed two more members. Ben introduced him to bass singer Avi Kaplan, a recent college grad who was already gaining a reputation in his native California as a great bass singer. Ben & Scott then found Kevin "KO" Olusola, from Kentucky, thru one of his KZbin videos that had gone viral of him "cello-boxing", his own invention of playing cello and beatboxing at the same time. Kevin had recently graduated pre-med from Yale and was planning the attend the Berklee School of Music in Boston to pursue a Master's Degree in music (he had been a child prodigy on cello, saxophone and piano who had played Carnegie Hall twice as a teenager, once on cello and once on sax), then later go on to med school. He decided to put his education on hold (as did Scott & Kirstie) to join the group. The five came together in Los Angeles (Kevin arrived literally the day before the audition & Mitch had to skip his high school graduation ceremony). Scott renamed them Pentatonix, after the Pentatonic scale in music, and they passed the audition. They went on to win The Sing Off championship. One of the prizes was a recording contract with Sony-owned Epic Records. All five moved to LA to begin their recording career, only to have Sony/Epic drop them just a few days later because the label didn't feel a cappella music would be marketable to a mass audience. Instead of giving up, the group began producing their own recordings and releasing them on KZbin, with Ben Bram helping them out on the arrangements. They amassed a huge following and about eight months later, Sony relented and re-signed them, albeit to a much lesser contract on their smaller Madison Gate label, and the group hired Ben as their primary producer. After releasing three EPs on Madison Gate, their Daft Punk Medley went super-viral worldwide and led to their first Grammy Award. Sony then promoted the group to their top label RCA, where they've been ever since. Two more Grammy Awards, two Billboard #1 albums, multi-platinum sales for their other albums, and sold-out world tours have all followed. Dealing with a number of personal issues, Avi left the group in 2017, but was replaced shortly thereafter by current bass singer Matt Sallee. Matt came from the same musical theater background as The Trio and has fit in quite nicely.

You're not alone in your choice of Mitch as your favorite. While all the members are loved and appreciated for their talents, Mitch has been most fans favorite for years simply because his voice and his control are so unique and stunning. During a Q & A, the group members were asked if they were a fan of PTX, who would their favorite member be and they all said Mitch, not just for his talent but because he is funny, sassy, and has such style in his fashion and appearance. Their words, not mine. It's hard to choose a favorite because they all pack such a punch. I do have certain songs where one of the other members is my favorite on that particular song, but I find my eyes are always going to Mitch to see what he's doing, even if it's in the background. With that said, they all have outstanding talents, are funny & kind, and have great style of their own. Even in this song where Mitch is singing most of the lead and blows people's minds with his guitar sounds, Kevin sounds more like a drum set than an actual drum set, Avi's bass is soooo rich and full throughout the whole song, Kirstie and Scott stun with not only their own solos, but their background vocals, so yeah, pretty much my favorite is the full package. While I've enjoyed the solo work each has done on their own, none of it compares, for me, to what they do regularly as a group. I hope they never decide to part ways.

Yes Avi the Bass left in 2017 on good terms. Then Matt came on as their Bass and he is awesome. I saw them live in 2018 in Ridgefield Washington, hands down the best concert I had ever seen. And they did Bohemian Rhapsody it was incredible. They have some newer covers that they did during lock down from their separate homes. The Weekends "Blinding Lights" and Billie Eilishes, "When the Parties Over". They have a 10 year vast catalog. Amazing Grace is awesome, Can you feel the love tonight from the Lion King, "Mad World" cover from Tears for Fears. But if you really want to be Mitch slapped the live video "AHA" Singapore the Star Vista is a must. I think Avi the Bass broke the sound system and Mitch broke the sound barrier, it was amazing.

Kevin has played Carnegie Hall twice as a teenager, once for cello and once for saxophone and you can find the old videos of his Carnegie Hall performances on You Tube.

For more showcasing of Mitch's voice, check out: Aha!

Watching your look of healthy skepticism melt intro genuine emotion viewing “Hallalujah” was priceless 👍 OH, by the way, I wouldn’t worry too much about your sister…if you were in a bad accident or some other such calamity…I sure she would stop by the hospital on her way to the PTX concert…wellll, unless she had VIP tickets and had to be there early, then I’m afraid you’d be on your own bud🤣🤣🤣. Seriously tho, great reaction…THANKS!

Thanks for the reaction. Have you reacted to their cover of Imagine or their Evolution of Michael Jackson is amazing. Of their original music some of my favorites are “Sing”. “Can’t Sleep Love” and “A Little Space” Honestly everything they do is good. I’m with your Sister. There isn’t much that I put before a PTX concert especially if I could get VIP tickets to meet them.

If I'm looking at it correctly, you have just started on the trip and have so far done perhaps the most popular, and all of them are with the original bass, Avi Kaplan. For a change, maybe something more recent with the new bass, Matt Sallee, which will also show how the group as a whole has grown. They did a wonderful version of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from the Lion King, and the best version of "Amazing Grace" I have ever heard. It would be interesting to know what your sister's recommendations would be. I love your videos so far, and that you have also reacted to PMJ.

Awesome reaction. There are still 5 of them. Avi (the bearded bass guy) left the group for personal reasons, and was replaced by Matt. Also, if you ever question “is that Mitch?” “Is that Kirsten?”, the answer is YES. They have different looks almost every video. They do “Evolutions of…” videos, where they are singing live and the video is done in one take. I suggest you check those out, because it really shows exactly how talented they are, outside of a studio. “Evolution of Michael Jackson” “Evolution of Rihanna” “Evolution of Beyoncé” Just to name a few.

Also, their covers of No and Gold (by Kiiara) - if you do have a look at Gold, please check out the original first (even just a little bit) to see how great PTX and especially Mitch was in doing what the original artist couldn't.

Yes, one left....the bass, Avi, but Matt took his place and he also does a great job. I love "Are you that somebody X New Rules".

I loved this from the moment I heard the first chord. It really is a masterpiece. Next time you listen to it really focus in on Kevin because what he’s doing on percussion is unreal-one guy is making all those drums, cymbals, snares at the same time by himself. Avi hits some bass drum at times, but Kevin is doing 90% of it. It’s bonkers. Enjoying your reactions! Just subscribed!

Loving the channel! Time to call the Home Fries and check out Home Free. I suggest Man of Constant Sorrow. Although Ring of Fire with Avi from PTX is awesome too. Adam Rupp is a freak of nature as the beatboxer. They also have at least one Queen song.
@Kash72983 жыл бұрын
Avi, the bass, did leave, but he was replaced by Matt, who is also awesome. I'd recommend maybe doing some of their "Evolution" videos. My personal favorite is Evolution of Rihanna, but you might want to start with Evolution of Michael Jackson. They're what they call "live covers" meaning they're recorded all in one take.

It's okay, homie, he's most of our favorite. He's AMAZING, and has the throat of an angel. He has a side project with Scott (the blonde) if you want to hear some stuff that's a little different (Superfruit). He also has his own channel, though he doesn't upload much there. His cover of a Billie Eilish song recently was beautiful though! Kevin is also super talented, and has some really cool stuff on his own channel (KO). Avi, our beloved bass dude, is no longer with the band, but I bet you'd like his solo stuff too (Avi Kaplan). Also, it's like the law that you have to cover Scott's cover of "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You." Because it's so random and delightful. :) EDIT: Also, since you love Mitch's voice so much, you should check out their Billie Eilish cover of "When The Party's Over." His voice is so heartbreakingly lovely in it.

The Couch is kind of a Pentatonix touchstone. All of their early videos were done with them sitting on The Couch in the sam arrangement -- Kirstin, Scott, and Mitch in the back, Kevin and Avi in front. They had left The Couch behind by the time they did this video but they used as an homage to their earlier videos. Also, the comets are a tribute to Brian May who holds a doctorate in Cosmology. Also, they did a "behind the scenes" video for this which you may find fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2nYmH2kfqySgs0

Loving ur reactions! Love ur brother / sister ribbing. Yes, Mitch is beyond amazing and his personality & charisma are so delightful and he shines here but, I have to say, Kevin & Avi are what makes this performance out of this world imho. I know ur just hearing it for the 1st time but when u listen again, try to listen to what is happening around Mitch, it’s mind blowing. Props to Scott & Kristin as well. I know it’s all of them together that make the magic but man, Kevin & Avi in this one = 🤯🤯🤯

Will definitely listen again. You said it though, my first time hearing it my ears focused in on what I like the most. I want to focus on what the other singers are doing so I can appreciate this even more.

@@RambossTheTerrible absolutely. I’m sure I was focused on Mitch the first few times m, how could u not be, he’s incredible but now that I’ve heard it 100+ times, my ears gravitate to the underlying support structure of the song, they’re all just amazing. Aren’t we lucky they found each other and we get to experience the synergy and PTX magic??? ☀️☀️☀️

So now that you have discovered Pentatonix, you need to check out Home Free. Another acapella band. They won the same competition that Pentatonix did (The Sing Off) on a later season. They are also amazing - totally different vibe from Pentatonix, but also very entertaining and talented. I'd recommend Ring of Fire (with Avi from Pentatonix), Man of Constant Sorrow, When a Man Loves a Woman, they have a very large catalogue to choose from. You'll be a "Home Fry" in no time!!
