To give a little context to this cover: all five performers are LGBTQIA+ and they released this cover as an outlet for their feelings after the Pulse nightclub shooting in 2016.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Others have already explained the connection to the Pulse nightclub massacre in 2016, so I won't repeat that here. I *will* say that most of what you find on Superfruit is funny; "Rise" is the exception. * I live just west of Denver, Colorado. * My husband of 46 years killed himself in February. * I first discovered Pentatonix in September; listening to them and watching their videos has been very helpful to me in my grief. When I first heard that PTX would be including Denver in their winter concert tour schedule I was overjoyed, and immediately bought tickets for a friend and me for the Sunday, November 20th concert in Denver. We were in the cheap seats, but we were going to go and we were going to have fun! And then on November 19th a gunman attempted to recreate the horror of the Pulse massacre at Club Q, another Queer nightclub, but this one is in Colorado Springs, about 70 miles south of my home. This time we got lucky. This time there was a hero present, who ran *toward* danger, rather than away, and who, with no weapons of his own, actually managed to take down a man in body armor who was wielding an assault rifle! He says he isn't a hero. I've heard that one before - it's what the real heroes always say. Because of him, this time we "only" lost 5. One was the mother of an 11 year old boy. 😢 I found out about the Club Q shootings *just* before the concert. During the concert Mitch spoke about the shootings and led us in a moment of silence. Then Scott spoke about how Queer nightclubs are intended to be a safe place for the LGBTQ+ community to meet with friends, family members, and allies for good conversation and a little bit of fun, and what happens when that safe place isn't safe any more. Then Pentatonix pledged a large sum of money to help the survivors and the family members and friends of the casualties in Colorado Springs, and the show continued. Yes, it was a good show, though seriously overshadowed by what had happened the day before, but beyond that, everyone there was a fan of Pentatonix and therefore a fan of Mitch and Scott, who are openly gay, so we were among like-minded people, and that's helpful. And on Monday morning I woke up with a deep need to revisit Superfruit's cover of "Rise." That Thursday, November 24th was American Thanksgiving Day, my first holiday without my husband, a very cold and bleak day for me, and I was still listening to "Rise." I'm still listening to it now, for its powerful message of hope and empowerment - it is exactly what I need in order to go forward in my own life, and I've downloaded it and put it on my permanent playlist for that reason. And KZbin keeps popping up suggestions of people reacting to "Rise," which is how I found your channel. Thank you for this reaction.

[@Kari5274]

I live 45 minutes from where Pulse Nightclub was. This was a fantastic tribute to honor those slaughtered there. If you want funny Superfruit, try Hip Hop goes Broadway parts 1 and 2. There are bloopers at the end. You'll love them.

[@elainehoward8822]

Hi guys, I’m so happy you have chosen Rise, it’s a wonderful collaboration. Superfruit and the other singers released this song after the a terrible incident in an Orlando Florida. I’m sure other commenters will give you a lot more information…… If you have an open mind, and take it for what it is, a really funny song and hysterical video, then your next Superfruit hit could be GUY EXE. I have seen a few people in the past review this, and all have laughed and said it was brilliant. Maybe BP2 could have a sneaky peek before hand. A fantastic upload guys 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Guy.exe Well worth a reaction. I've always wondered how much input they had with the video and huh choreographed the Dance sequences

[@BritPopsReact]

@Elaine Howard Thank you for the comment and information Elaine. I will have a sneaky peek

[@corvus1374]

Mary took her lyrics from the Macklemore song and put out her own song called "She Keeps Me Warm". It's beautiful.

[@heidifruchtl354]

I watched another reactor do this, and called it the Avengers of singing and then said that he would be on the floor in a puddle trying to recover after watching the video.

[@shirleyujest7786]

"VOCAL CHOCOLATE BOX" Best comment EVER!

[@rlhcat7662]

As many have said, the passion in all their voices is very real, and it hits you every time you see this video. You may have heard that Brian's performance of Creep on America's Got Talent is incredible. Just as amazing is a duet that Scott and Mario did on an LP cover called Lost on You. Please react to that - it will knock you over.

[@marablemorgan8292]

Amazing... Has to be my favorite so far... ⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡

[@TonyRom257]

Great reactions ! Guy.EXE and Feeling Myself from Superfruit is a must watch

[@trishmartinez-cox4070]

Yes...if you are going to look at Superfruit and/or PTX rapping I suggest Superfruit - Feel Myself....or PTX - Problem.....but remember if you watch Superfruit...they have bloopers after their "Subscribe" slide.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Trish Martinez-Cox Thank you for the information Trish. I will make sure BP1 stays to the end. Thanks for watching

[@pavelsuvorov5036]

I liked this performance, the song and the voices.Thank you, friends, for the excellent reaction!👍👏🇷🇺

[@lynn2574]

As many have already commented, this was done as a response and tribute following the mass shooting and murders at the Pulse Nightclub in 2016. The victims and location was targeted simply because they were lgbtq+. Each artist singing this is part of the lgbtq + community. The lyrics, when heard in that context, are powerful.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Totally agree!

[@pat_in_va8605]

Superfruit (the channel) is a mishmash of things the guys (Mitch and Scott) did. It could be them playing a game, they could have a guest, it could be a mash-up recording, or an original song (like Guy.exe, or Future Friends), or something like their two parts titled "Hip Hop Goes Broadway."

[@RobChurch1988]

Brian Justin Crum great vocalist and Friend to another great Vocalust Adam Lambert. You guys should react to some BJC and Adam Lambert.

[@kbbeers4274]

This version gives me chills every time I hear it. Thank you for sharing your time with us. ☮️

[@HelenWheelsUtah]

Chills _every_ time, and tears depending on my mood and that of the reactor. This is a powerful song with four very talented and Powerful singers. It gets me just every time. Cheers.

[@beccaHbell]

So glad you’re reacting to Superfruit, thank you!!!!

[@BritPopsReact]

Hello and thank you for the comment. Thanks for watching too!!

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

What a nice surprise. Superfruit!!

[@kristin9905]

Just found ur channel & am going thru ur reactions I’m loving ur reactions to this group & Superfruit too

[@BritPopsReact]

Thanks Kristin and welcome aboard 😃

[@tundiel]

Both of your faces at the end... lol! Pure ear candy, this one, thanks so much for doing it! Now, 9.2 Mr BP1. You're a tough nut (I've said this before), but I'm happy with that. I should probably warn you though that this is NOT a typical Superfruit song. They did this as a tribute for the Pulse Nightclub shootings (all five are members of the LGBTQ+ community). The lyrics certainly hit harder when you realise what they are referring to. Superfruit's original music is more of a pop sound. Their channel is mostly vlogs with skits and music mixed in here and there. I'm not sure they'll be your cup of tea, but they're definitely fun to watch. And even when goofing around, their vocals are still great. Not sure if you caught it, but I watched and commented on an older video of yours today. I won't type it all again, but it was about Mario Jose and Scott's duet of 'Lost on you'. It's mash up of LP's song and a Hans Zimmer movie score. It's genius. Anywho, thank you again! Worth waiting for, that! Edit: Guy.exe. Yeah, that's a Marmite song, that. Interested to see what you'd make of it. 😁

[@BritPopsReact]

@EnderOllie 4 Cheers for all your comments, both here and Insta, we are just getting our heads round all the different channels. We will certainly be checking out more from Superfruit as we had a lot of feed back on them. We are well behind on comments, BP1 is on hollibobs and I am just back from few days R&R, the comments certainly stack up quick. Hope you are enjoying your week off. Anywho, have a good one like. 😁😁

[@tundiel]

@@BritPopsReact you get a lot of comments because you put out entertaining videos. Lots of reactors get the views, but not the comments. I'm quite chatty here now because I'm comfortable posting. I don't comment an awful lot anywhere else, and when I do it's usually just to say I've subbed or to give suggestions. Superfruit have a lot of fans, so it's not surprising you had lots of feedback. I tend to watch them if I'm having a bad day. They crack me up. I was in literal tears of laughter watching their 'Stranger Things' spoof. 🤣🤣 Their original music is generally upbeat and catchy stuff. Hope you both enjoy your down time!

[@heathercary7657]

Can you do Super fruit...defying gravity. Thanks.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Yes please!

[@tundiel]

I'd love to see that too! Don't know if they're ready though 🤣🤣🤣

[@galletasalison8886]

They are marvellous!! I loved your reaction I think you should try “Lost on you “Mario Jose and Scott Hoying!! You will be delighted

[@janetlawson4482]

Such an incredible cover, heartbreaking story behind it, hate crime is inexcusable, I am sure that someone will comment about it. The message of the song is about rising up from the oppression. Thank you guys for your reaction ❤️

[@terriepurkey708]

This song gives me chills every time. The song is a Katie Perry song though not much like her version. Guy.exe is SO funny and much more of a story video that's interesting. You're right that Brian Justin Crum is known originally from AGT - his version of Creep is breathtaking! And Mario Jose used to be on the PTX crew and they gave his career a nudge by having him open for them a time or two. He and Scott have a couple other side songs that are worth checking out. And as for more Superfruit - I put my vote on The Promise.....a heartwarming, beautiful song and video.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Terrie Purkey Thank you for the comment Terrie, we will be back with more from Superfruit soon. We enjoyed that

[@marymichele340]

This song always gives me goosebumps! So powerful! Their harmonies! Definitely a 10

[@carolelewin2054]

Yey Superfruit! Passion is the keyword in this song. I notice others have filled you in on the background, so I’ll not repeat it. The Guy.exe song was a simple audio re- upload as it started to trend on TikTok. The video is a wild ride and worth reacting to!

[@gingerjohnson1095]

If you are going to be reacting to SuperFruit, make sure you watch through the end title... it is usually followed by bloopers on the skits and evolutions.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Yay more Superfruit!!!

[@melissacoviello2886]

You should check out the evolution of Gaga, the Beyoncé medley and the Rhianna Anti medley! And then move onto other stuff including Defying Gravity and then their album, which is I think 14 originals songs, and then finish it with the bonus cover of the Promise!!!

[@becca2383]

Powerful song for a powerful cause. All so talented. Superfruit have some great content, some of it is a lot of fun. Not as serious as this one usually.

[@lisamcnaughton7119]

Thank you for doing this cover. Do recommend you go to the description to read the blurb of how they came to do this. Then the song will be in context. Other reactors skip that part too.

[@31bkknss]

Please do Aha Singapore, Wizard of Ahhhs with Todrick Hall, Tribute to Wicked Anniversary live on tv enjoy!

[@imtherapycat]

I loved your reaction! And no -- it isn't just you two! I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but I dearly love to listen to singers who do!

[@BritPopsReact]

Hello and thank you for the comment. Thanks for watching too!!

[@donepearce]

It's strange to hear them singing against a piano. But wow, they can sing.

[@diannakroeger9936]

You also need to listen to Brian Justin Crum on American idol singing creep

[@BritPopsReact]

@Dianna Kroeger That is a good idea. I have added him to the list. We will try and get to that soon. Cheers

[@Burrowingowl315]

Great analysis ! Any live recording of Pentatonix .

[@peterrichards7387]

Great track, excellent vocals, never heard of SuperFruit so nice introduction. Not sure I'd buy their album but good to hear all the same. Cheers.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Peter Richards We will see what else they have as we have found out from the comments why they recorded this one. They do have more upbeat songs and we shall check some more out. Cheers

[@fauxmedia3182]

Please do Superfruit cover of “The Promise” by 80’s band When In Rome 🤯🤯🤯❤️

[@Heatsauce70506]

You need to read the description on the original.

[@marablemorgan8292]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lynnsoeth5301]

Now you need to do one that is just Super Fruit. Suggest Evolution of Gaga.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Lynn Soeth Hi Lynn, we will certainly follow up with more from "Superfruit" Stay tuned

[@supposedly1-2]

I have found, for myself anyway, that Katy Perry's songs when she sings them have very little impact or meaning its fluff and i dont like them, however when someone else sings them/covers them the words are so meaningful and brilliant and clear i usually end up loving them. idk why that is bcz i like katy generally speaking but her singing this was just a little boppy tune with not a lot of meaning but when these guys did it it had great meaning ofc they are singing it in response to a tragedy but even other songs she has done have this same response from me.

[@MCP920]

♥️

[@verdafoster3767]

This may have been done during the shutdown.

[@trishmartinez-cox4070]

This was done in 2016 after the mass shooting at the LGBTQ+ club called Pulse. This was released a few months after that shooting. There are some older videos that show them in the studio together for this.

[@mjh8237]

@@trishmartinez-cox4070 What video shows them in the studio for this?

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

Superfruit is usually funny and a bit goofy....but this song...it was in response to a mass shooting at a club in Florida. These people are all part of the gay LGBTQ

[@faithreasons3041]

Another great cover. It’s a great song, original by Katie Perry I think. I’m with BP1 on the score though. Could see that BP2 was moved by this powerful rendition 🙂. BP1…? Never mind! 🙃. Overall 9.6 was fair. Nice reaction. 👍 Why have you changed places? 🙂

[@faithreasons3041]

Why have you swapped places? Just watched the Friday show. Now I know. 😁

[@BritPopsReact]

@Faith Reasons This was our first "Superfruit" video and we sure picked the heavy one, we had no idea on the background of why they performed this song. It makes it even more moving after finding out. We will return to "Superfruit" soon and see what else we can find. Glad you found out why we changed places, just a bit of fun

[@lordlockdown64]

Vocally they are very talented, but I agree with BP1 the actual song was not that great.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Actually, "GUY.EXE" was posted on the 27th of October, 2017, over a year before Superfruit's final video, "The Promise." I wouldn't count on Superfruit getting back together any time soon - Scott got engaged to his boyfriend Mark Manio earlier this year and shows every sign of wanting to spend every spare moment with Mark. They're planning to get married in 2023, I believe, and have said that they want to start a family. If that works out for them children will leave Scott with very little spare time for the next several years at least. A few months ago Scott released a beautiful video of a song he wrote for Mark, called "Mars." Highly recommended.
