thats powerful

Now there are a few of them, I’d REALLY like them to put out an Evolution Of.. Album! Kirstin really came into her own on the Evolution of Beyoncé, but Kevin absolutely knocks the Evolution of Rihanna out of the park!

The (too rare) solos by vocal percussionist Kevin Olusola are like the cherry on top - you can hear him in Mary Did You Know and their more recent absolutely devestating rendition of Amazing Grace as well as some jaw dropping solo work on his own channel. Kind of a hidden gem of the group, similar to Avi and now Matt getting solo time. Just shows that there isn't a one-dimensional talent in the bunch. Love your reactions!

Sorry I’m late, had to get to my earbuds before catching a PTX reaction. After the Beginner’s Guide to Pentatonix, which is a fan-made video, but still good, mind catching “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” for me? I need to do another day of catching up on all reactions to that one since the last time I caught up, soon. Been needing a good cry :)

[@mrelixertv]

not a problem I got you

[@karannewton3481]

Love your reactions! Mitch IS a problem child. 😂

The reaction totally dominated the video itself. Couldn't hang.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Thank you for such a joyous reaction. Watch “the beginners guide to Pentatonix.”

[@jeanevans6061]

You must hear Avi singing Standing By and check out his own music Change On The Rise, it is outstanding!!

[@mrelixertv]

I will definitely

[@rachellephipps1361]

You can't go wrong with any of Avi's solo stuff. I recommend Full Moon. Hauntingly beautiful. A must.

[@jessegirlb]

For more to really see Kirsten's amazingness, I HIGHLY recommend "Say Something," which she kills with emotion, and "Amazing Grace." She gets the climax in AG, and it gives me chills every single time. Dude, you also need to see Scott Hoying's "I Should Tell Your Momma On You," (Scott is the blond dude). It's AMAZING. I don't even want to tell you what he does so you can be surprised. But as a DJ, you'll totally appreciate it.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Well, it *is* The *Evolution* of Michael Jackson. The point is to take his songs in order, see how they changed over the years.

[@jesseriggan1693]

They are ALL problem children! But oh what problems, so talented! You should check out their other Evolution of ... Beyonce, Rhianna, Music, Ariana Grande, if you think this was good. I have heard it said that they don't do covers, they do upgrades!

[@kelly56501]

PTX has five of the most talented musicians on the planet. I also recommend you check out Superfruit (a Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying side project). Feeling Myself, Hip Hop Goes Broadway (1 &2), and their Beyoncé mash-up are just a few....just always remember to watch to the very end of their videos....they have bloopers!

[@MorsecodeZ]

Also their collabs with Todric Hall: "The Wizard of Ahhhs" and "Black & White" from Straight out of Oz (Todric's autobiographical (?) album)

[@Pam-yw9ty]

Pentatonix first appear on the show the Sing Off and you can watch all of their performances here on YT. They were so young and you could already see their talent.

The person that is rarely mentioned is 6th and founding member of Pentatonix. Ben Bram is the literal mastermind behind these arrangements.

[@lindamorris3149]

Ben is a genius at what he does!

[@ClaireBarn]

I'd love to watch them create their version of a song. I know they have their new master class, but, that is more teaching others how to put a song together with the expectation that the participants will create their own song. What a great idea! I just want to watch the process, not do it, though. (I have zero talent. 🥴) I hope they give us non-musicians a chance to watch that creativity, too.

[@LoriPeace]

@@ClaireBarn If you haven't yet, you should watch PTX "Random jamming / Singing on the fly" kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZvLlYhnp9Cnpsk It's pretty much just them singing bits and pieces, figuring things out, having a ton of fun with it all. :)

As a DJ, I think you would appreciate their 90s Dance Music medley, SO much fun!

[@mrelixertv]

that was such a fun listen and my introduction to them

[@terib470]

You don't have a play list for them yet so don't know if you've reacted to this, but I think you would really like their Can't Hold Us. I don't know anything about music but to me it's one of their best.

[@Bobal27]

He’s only done four or five so far, not hard to scroll through them. He hasn’t done that, yet. From memory, I’d say it was 90s Dance Medley, Daft Punk, if he did Can You Feel the Love Tonight, I think it was third, Bohemian Rhapsody, and now this. If I inaccurately remembered the Elton John cover, he’s only done four. Gonna go check my work real quick.

[@Bobal27]

It must’ve been someone else I saw reacting to Elton John, probably on the same day he did Bohemian Rhapsody. So only 4 to find, 3 since you’ve seen this one ;)

[@Bestia12345]

Great reaction. Could you react to a PTX original “Love Again”. Also could you react to a mix up of “New Rules” x “Are you that somebody”. Both are amazing. By the way there is also a backstage live version of “Love Again” in which only Kevin (beatboxer) has a mic. I have a feeling you will enjoy them.

[@deniseriley6622]

Great Reaction 👍 The Evolution of Rhianna is great too. I love your energy!

[@kayecastleman6353]

Great reaction! This is my absolute favourite of their evolution videos. Thanks for taking us back through the genius of Michael, as interpreted by Pentatonix. This one gives me chills, too!

[@mrelixertv]

this made my day today

[@df5199]

Liked your reaction. Recommend their Can You Feel The Love Tonight for Mitch & Kirstin moments. Also, their live 15 minute 4 song set from Popspring 2016. It consists of 3 originals plus this Michael Jackson evolution. Also, their original Love Again with a Mitch lead. Also Rather Be, Say Something, Shallow, Amazing Grace, Seasons Of Love (televised version), Water, Be My Eyes, and Love Me When I Don’t for Kirstin leads/moments. The last 3 were written or co-written by Kirstin.

[@paulinejane9742]

Watch the new song only released yesterday “Anchor” Mitch is absolutely amazing. Aha (Singapore Star vista), Gold, Hallelujah, imagine, Amazing Grace. Can’t sleep Love are All beautiful. If you want to see something different check out Mitch & Scott as Superfruit….Empire Medley, Guy.exe & I’m feeling myself are all fabulous. I could go on & on. Their whole catalogue of covers & originals are absolutely stunning. Great reaction x

[@cRobin1375]

I don't know if it's been suggested yet, but to really get to know them visually, you should watch their journey on the "Sing Off" which is a competition show and goes into their background a little bit. And in each episode often they talk about each member individually.

[@mrelixertv]

no I have not thank you for the heads up appreciate highly

Please watch the Visual “ Beginners Guide to Pentatonix” you will learn all about the group!! Very helpful!!👍

[@margretrosenberg420]

Okay, you wanted names, here you go. From left to right, starting with the back row. The "problem child" is Mitch Grassi, counter tenor. He has a range of 6 octaves plus one note, and that's not counting his whistle tones. Next to Mitch we have Scott Hoying, lyric baritone (i.e. his range extends into both the tenor and the bass). Any time the bass has a solo, Scott handles the underlying bass effects. On the far right in the back we have Kirstin Maldonado (also known as Kirstie - rhymes with thirsty), mezzo soprano, but on occasion she's been known to approach Mitch's high notes. Scott and Kirstie were classmates in high school in Arlington, Texas; and Mitch was in the same school but one year behind them. They've been friends since they were 8 years old. In 2011 they wanted to compete on a television show named The Sing-Off, but the show told them they needed at least 5 members to compete so they went looking for a bass and a beatboxer, which brings us to the front row. On the left we have Avi Kaplan, lyric bass (i.e. his voice extends up into the baritone range). Avi had to leave the group in 2017 because of illness in his family, but he remains friends with them and helped them find their current bass, Matt Sallee. Also, Avi has gone on to have a very successful solo career; you should check out his KZbin channel. And on the right in the front we have Kevin Olusola, beatboxer extraordinaire, and another lyric baritone. Note: Avi is the *only* member who has left the group. Mitch and Kirstie both change their appearance frequently (hair styles and color, and Mitch's weight tends to be variable), so people sometimes think they see someone new in the group, but it's really Kirstie or Mitch.
