FIRST TIME HEARING - PENTATONIX - The Sound of silence

[@jamesensley3906]

The guy on your far right is a beatboxer named Kevin. He makes all the percussion sounds with just his voice and body. However, when needed, he can also sing and even play the cello.

[@ChodTheWacko]

I don't understand why people feel like they have to "pick" one over the other. Can't we just enjoy both? Chocolate vs vanilla and all that. They are different, I actually prefer different ones at different times depending on my mood.

[@EvesPlanet]

Exactly

[@aaronbarlow4376]

@Kari's World Gaming Usually girls fawning over Kevin and Matt or Avi because they have masculine bass or beats, or over Mitch because he's a novelty, a guys with a beautiful girl's voice. Kirsten is massively underrated and usually ignored, as is Scott.

[@hilzabub]

@@aaronbarlow4376 The only reason I don't have a poster of Scott in my bedroom is my wife wouldn't appreciate it.

[@tellervocr3]

Pentatonix never fails to evoke emotion in me too. Sometimes it's laughter, sometimes it's tears... they just do. I hope you explore more, whether you react to them or enjoy them in your own time. Welcome to the PTX experience!

[@chrispavlich9656]

Please react to more Pentatonix. You will not be disappointed. Kevin( guy on far right) is the beat boxer. If you want to hear him really get into it, listen to their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody ❣️ Subscribed to hear you do it! All beats are by them unless you see a cello. Kevin plays cello.

[@lexymich3647]

Adding to your comment Kevin invented cello boxing which is beat boxing while playing the cello.

[@revkaelenelord]

I'm not sure, but I think we have all witnessed the birth of a new Pentaholic, which means one who has become addicted to the sounds of Pentatonix. Congratulations! They are an awesome 3 time Grammy award winning accapella singing group. Now, did you realize that they are speaking of a nuclear attack by singing- tens of thousands hearing without listening, people writing songs that no one shared. Then there was the blinding of the light separating the night. And those that went through it writing on the subway walls and tenement halls, to warn future generations as Prophets. I knew you would love them. They all have different vocal ranges, except Mitch, the man with the higher voice. And Kevin the beatboxer also has a wonderful tenor voice.

[@vidsorama2]

I loved our reaction. More please. I really liked that you did not feel the need to pick between the Disturbed version and the PTX version because they are so different. PTX has a lot of videos. Anything that you choose to react to next will be great because they are just that good. I hope that you will enjoy more of PTX videos and music.

[@Karen-Campos]

Super Reaction! You would never have believed 5 singers could sound this “full!” Welcome down the Pentatonix rabbit hole! We fans call ourselves Pentaholics. FYI: There is no lead & there are no egos in this group. They equally share the spotlight when a song calls for it. Their layers add amazing depth to a song. What makes them unique is that EACH of them has such a wide vocal range. Kevin is the inventor of cello-boxing (playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time)! SO MANY GREAT songs to choose from! You could start with their 3 Grammy wins: Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, or Jolene!

[@lexymich3647]

[@Yooperbuzz1]

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).

[@Jskew]

Well Eve... Welcome to the best rabbit hole you will ever go down. We Pentaholics are a diverse, welcoming and supportive group. I would love to see you go back and watch their "Sing Off" performances 1-12 as that is where they started and gives you introductions and history. Just a heads up they have won 3 Grammys and have over 5 Billion views on You Tube. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

[@EvesPlanet]

Thanks for the tips!

[@detrix42]

I will subscribe if you do watch their "Sing Off" performances.

[@erikabjldagerbruun3455]

Oh I thought they had around 3 billion views on KZbin? But either way it’s cool! (:

[@barnowl5774]

This type of music is called a cappela/capella. It roughly means "in/of the chapel/church". It generally is purely voice-based and harmonious with no accompanying musical instrumentation. The first and most well-known version of this song, that I know of, is by the American folk-pop duo from the 1960s/1970s named "Simon and Garfunkle". They do a wonderful rendition of this song. Enjoy more of Pentatonix as they are superb!

[@mamajenkins1981]

Yeah that part where you just had to put your head in your hand...that's us Pentaholics for the past 9 years LOLOLOL. Pentatonix (or PTX) are an a cappella group, so the only time they use instruments is when you see Kevin (the beatboxer) playing his cello or they have a couple songs with guest violinist Lindsey Stirling. And yes they do this live. I look forward to you falling down the rabbit hole of PTX. I see someone else requested their mash-up of New Rules x Are You That Somebody...YES that is in my top five favorite PTX songs.

[@EvesPlanet]

They are amazing! Can’t literally wait to react to them again 😁

[@rw716]

Nice reaction! If you're going to go on the PTX ride, I better let you know now that one of the members, Avi (the person with the dark mustache and beard and provides the bass for the group in earlier videos) is no longer with them and left amicably and was replaced by Matt Sallee(the guy on the far left). Everyone else is still the same. Sometimes the looks of Kirstin (the female of the group) and Mitch(the one who can hit the real high notes) has changed, but it's still them. Scott, the one who started this song first, Kirstin, and Mitch are high school friends and they enlisted Avi and Kevin (the beatboxer and vocal percussionist) to round out their group when they competed on the a cappella competition show called the Sing Off on NBC in 2011. They won the competition and were hailed as the future of a cappella due to their unique takes of popular songs. They currently own 3 Grammy awards and are considered one of the best in the world. Some people still can't believe that they use only their voices and no instruments when they perform. I would recommend for you to listen to their version of Hallelujah. Their KZbin video of Hallelujah currently has over 561 million views!....

[@talyn5304]

Hello Eve! Great reaction! This group is for real! Everything that you heard was generated with their voices only! You should check out their cover's of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody or John Lennon's Imagine. They also do a Daft Punk Medley that will blow your mind, as well. Also, on a separate note: your hair is beautiful! :)

[@adrianacapella2045]

I enjoyed your reaction. It made my day. Many people feel emotional while listening to them. Just sit back and enjoy it. I hope you do more reactions to Pentatonix. I recommend "Mary, Did You Know?" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" and don't worry about which version of a song is better. Sometimes they are just too different to make that judgement.

[@Spaceydoodle]

You need to watch/listen to all of Pentatonix (pronounced like Gin and Tonics ) videos - they are incredible ! Their name comes from the pentatonic scale used in music . Disturbed is still my favorite

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Pentatonix is THE ACAPELLA group. Watch Hallelujah and Imagine with tissues close by. Hallelujah was over 500 million views. Daft Punk won them a Grammy as did Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. In each you'll see a gentleman with a beanie. That's Avi the base. He is a founding member who left on good terms in 2017. Then Matt, in the white jacket, became the bass There isn't a bad song. The guy on the far right is Kevin is the beat boxer and is amazing. He sings every so often

[@im2yz4u17]

I personally did not like the Disturbed version, but I can honestly say that they are distinctly different. Thank you for the comparison of your prior video to this. Try Pentatonix 'Hallelujah' or 'Mad World' and compare those to other covers or the originals.

[@androcus1]

Young lady, there is nothing wrong with allow a beautiful song, like this, to make you emotional. Check out the pentatonix cover of Imagine, hallelujah, dance of the sugar plum fairy and bohemian rhapsody. The guy in the white coat is matt the bass singer, the lady sings soprano, the guy in the middle is lead/baritone, the guy beside him is mitch and he sings counter (really high) tenor, the guy beside him is kevin; he sings tenor. Kevin is a beatboxer, he is making the percussion sounds you are hearing. He also plays cello. The middle three all grew up together in texas.

[@deejay136]

Hello and welcome to the Pentatonix (PTX for short) rabbit hole. An amazing a capella group (the best IMO). They've been performing together since 2011 when they won Season 3 of the Sing Off. Please react to their Daft Punk Medley (with original bass Avi Kaplan). It won them their first Grammy. Sound of Silence has new bass Matt Sallee (3rd singer in the white jacket). Also please react to their cover of New Rules x Are You That Somebody. It's complete fire 🔥

[@Blue-rl5dp]

No instruments. They don't need them. Don't listen to them sing Hallelujah, that one will so make you say "No!" It's stunning. If you don't want emotional, listen to them do "Sing". It's just fun. Hey, I think you have my cat! No, my gray cat is sitting on the TV. We have matching cats.

[@hstppt]

If you don't want to cry, don't watch their covers of Hallelujah or Say Something! (But I would love to watch you do so...)

[@libertarianguy5567]

I wouldn't even put this in PTX's top 10 for songs. If you thought that was good, you should react to "Daft Punk" (Won a Grammy for this one), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Kevin's beatboxing is amazing in this), "Hallelujah" (Will leave you in tears), and "Wizard of Ahhhs" (Just simply amazing, don't know what else to say about this). You will not be disappointed. All of these have Avi as their Bass singer (This one has Matt), while Matt is a fantastic bass, Avi is just next level good. He hits notes so low it will rattle your very soul. Other songs they won Grammys for are "Jolene" with Dolly Parton and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy". Note: Please turn up the volume on the song, I could barely hear it.

you have only just barely scratched the surface of what they can do. I love this version of Sound Of Silence, but my wife likes Disterbed's version better. The guy in the middle, Scott, does not normally sing that low, and took many of us Pentaholics by surprise when he did. The guy on the right, the beatboxer, Kevin, is one of the best beatboxers in the world. The guy on the right, Matt singing bass, is a relatively new member, he replaced Avi, who left to be with his mother who was sick, and to do his own thing. Pentatonix never ever disappoints. Your ears will thank you.

If you want to explore this rabbit hole with your world will be enhanced. They have many performances on KZbin. My favorites are “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” from Lion King, and”Hallelujah”, but there are so many other greats and their Christmas music is unbelievable. Explore Pentatonix and the Pentaholics (fans) will swell your subscriber base. On recommendation, increase the volume on your pass-through videos and/or decrease your speaking volume.

[@r0kus]

Think of their name as two words: PENtah TAHnix I really like their version a lot. It keeps some of the intensity Disturbed added, while restoring the harmonies found in the Simon and Garfunkel original. Probably since I grew up with the original, it remains my favorite. You might want to react to it as well, and complete the set.

[@r0kus]

Here is link to the S&G 1964 original: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ape6qq2tpJarnZI

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this below, but this song was written by Paul Simon and recorded in the 1960’s by Simon & Garfunkel. You might want to listen to that, too. Most people who say they prefer either Disturbed or Pentatonix get spanked by people who know the original version. If you do Imagine by Pentatonix, which is stunning and the video can make you cry, people will insist that the original by John Lennon is impossible to improve upon. But I prefer Pentatonix for Imagine, too.

[@pijorroncho]

Me enamoran sus voces. I love them

[@Karenlowry1]

You don't have to compare them at all! There's a saying that floats around youtube with the covers to this song. Simon and Garfunkle was the original warning, Disturbed was the rage that we ignored the warning, Pentatonix is the hope that we can get better. :)
