Evolution of Music - Pentatonix (REACTION) First Time Hearing It

[@rfiliagaful]

Since you're from Belgium, you must see Papaoutai. If you know Stromae you're probably already familiar with the song. PTX does it proud and maybe because it's in French it doesn't get as many reviews as some of the others. However, it's one of my favorites of theirs. Also, it features Lyndsay Stirling on the violin and Kevin on the cello. Looking forward to that.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I do know Stromae and definitely will check out that version. Thanks!

[@cocohol3513]

This was very early ptx. The evolution videos are done in one take, which is impressive . Ptx has done several evolution videos: Michael Jackson, Beyonce, etc. They have also done Bohemian Rhapsody which is really great. Cheers!

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will check out more of their evolutions. This was great.

[@alan-freeman]

And - like all the Evolution series - all in ONE TAKE!

[@SaeedReacts.]

That is amazing!

[@loveloochay]

♦️♦️♦️♦️ .. check out " The Wizard Of Aaaaahhs " .... very cool mash up ! ♦️♦️♦️♦️

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will check it out. Many thanks!

[@tyseemahbishop6123]

Truly enjoy your reactions ❤❤❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you! Appreciate it!

[@robinmcdaniel5881]

True Pentaholics have seen the videos. They come to see and hear you

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you! I was a doubting a little.

[@loveloochay]

🎼🎼🤠 .. I had a feeling that you would like this Saeed .... lol .. Keep them coming ! 🤠🎼🎼

[@SaeedReacts.]

This was so good. Thank you for suggesting it!

[@celiachristman104]

They have done other "Evolution of" videos about singers. Also, they've done a "90s Dance Medley" where they actually wear outfits from the 90s as they sing. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. Thank you for reacting to them. I'm glad you appreciate their talent. I hope you can get to know their names. If you have trouble remembering names, make a cheat sheet with their pictures and names which you can refer to until you remember their names. We Pentaholics appreciate you knowing their names.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Looking forward to more. I am slowly getting to know them. Have discovered so many new artists through this channel and am learning so much. So grateful for all the helpful comments i have been getting. Have a wonderful day.

[@chocoilike]

We Pentaho!is a have usually seen the videos many times so having them blurred egg is of no consequence.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you. I wasnt sure to be honest. Have a great day!

[@B3thBakes]

England here 92 baby that adores the 90s music

[@SaeedReacts.]

Love the 90's ❤️❤️❤️

[@judithL3100]

Have you done Bohemian Rhapsody? PTX does a phenomenal cover of it. They also have cover of Gotye Somebody That I Used To Know….very good!

[@ChristineTodd-d5k]

I vote Bohemian Rhapsody next. You need to know the megaphone you will see is only a prop. Mitch is making the sound with his voice! You won't be disappointed.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will check them both out. Have a few others already recorded.

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

We don't care about the bluring. Trust me, we have seen their video's numerous times. And this was one take! This group is exceptional. Thanks for this. Greetings from South Africa

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you so much. They are truly exceptional. Greetings from Belgium.

[@marablemorgan8292]

Great!

[@SaeedReacts.]

So good!

[@musicalmags2010]

Babytonix ! One of their very first video's, (and my first introduction to them ) when they were all in their early 20's . Amazing then , exceptional now . I think you're going to love your Pentatonix journey ! You can find some of their early live performances on here.. I'm fond of this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX3cpYB9ZdpgpNU ...and following on from their Daft Punk medley , Kevin & Avi wrote an original EDM song 'Love Again' ...here they're singing it during an interview in a dressing room before a show ! .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faq1mpiwa7p-d6s

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for the links. I am so excited for this journey. Have a wonderful day.

[@megjones7860]

Hello Saeed, This was a music history lesson form Pentatonix. Superbly done. Glad you spotted when the colour came in. PTX has covers of "Gangnam Style" and "Somebody That I Used to Know". Adding those to your list for your reactions. Thanks for the reaction!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendations. Many interesting titles on my list. Love it!

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their version of Prayers For This World.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will add it to my list. Many thanks.

[@im2yz4u17]

Check out PTX's version of 'Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)'. Many have tried, some have succeeded, but PTX shines above all. Also, their version of 'Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone' is the most beautiful thing you may hear of that song...EVER.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will definitely check those out! Thanks!

[@elainedavis9053]

Thanks so much - Awesome

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you for watching. Have a wonderful day.

[@simsweechuah9753]

What a fun reaction! Thank you. You definitely have to react to Bohemian Rhapsody!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Cant wait to see how they approached that song. Thank you.

[@charlottevan_8]

Whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, years after this video, Avi Kaplan (in 2017 while still in PTX, as Avriel & The Sequoias) recorded a cover of OutKast's "Hey Ya" kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZmlgnahnauqj8k and in 2019 (with gospel trio ReSound) a cover of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy". kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoO3eX9na9edbpI Those 2 songs are in the "Evolution" video, one after the other. Interesting if it wa unintentionaL

[@SaeedReacts.]

Totally by accident. Will check out your recommendations.

[@justlinsu]

Oh so blurred I can't see it...(I do have some vision probs).. I love all the Evolutions from PTX especially with Avi in them lol.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Sry for that one. Trying to figure out the blocking issues. This did help, but maybe a little too much.

[@justlinsu]

@@SaeedReacts. It's ok I understand the prob. But I don't understand how some reactors can show it without the limitations? Also this is such a good way to get one's music out there....If subscribers like it we will usually go find more from that artist. I'll sneak around on their disclaimers for ya maybe it's what they declare lol.

[@adam.4487]

The acapella group Voiceplay does Queen in 5 minutes, they also do a very funny Boy Band mash up.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I will have to check that out as well. Thanks!

[@adam.4487]

@@SaeedReacts.Thanks. I'll be waiting, I'm not going anywhere. :)

[@kenpassfield11]

Hi Saeed, I have just watched all your current Pentatonix videos, so great to see some one new come to enjoy Pentatonix for the first time. I always suggest going back to the very start of their journey with their run on 'The Sing-Off' season 3 in 2011 you can see that they had a very special connection from the very start and the quick development of their style throughout the show, I would also suggest seeing each clip with the judges comments, I'm not sure how the copyright goes for these videos so you may end up having to cover them or something. I think for the majority of Pentaholics the fact that you have to blur/cover the vids is something that we have (unfortunately) gotten used to but still enjoy seeing your reaction to our favourites, really enjoyable keep going, other groups you may want to check out would be Voctave, Straight No Chaser and I think you said that you've seen Home Free and Voice Play, so continue enjoying this journey down the Ac a Pella rabbit hole their are many avenues to travel

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hi, Thank you for watching and the tips! I definitely want to explore more of Pentatonix and also the group you mentioned. I added that to my list. Many thanks.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Pentatonix loves KZbin reactions and reactors; they're well aware that reaction videos have helped to make them the success that they are today. Unfortunately, their copyrights are owned by their publisher, RCA, and RCA doesn't share their love of reaction videos. RCA is notorious for making copyright claims that get reaction videos taken down. The claims all seem to be about the video, not the music, and there are several strategies people use to keep their reactions up. Some people only react to live performances. This works, but it's limiting. In general, Pentatonix is as good live as they are in their official releases, but that's musically; there are a few of their official videos that have important video effects that can't be duplicated live. The most obvious one is "Imagine," but several others spring to mind. Also, if you only react to live performances you can't react to any "Behind the Scenes" or "Making of" videos. Another strategy is to pause the video frequently. This is probably a good idea (be sure to rewind a bit whenever you do this), but the definition of "frequent" is subjective so I don't recommend it as your only protection. What seems to work best is to slightly mask the video, combined with frequent pauses. Some people put a translucent "PENTATONIX" or "COPYRIGHT" over the video; others put what appears to be a window with raindrops on it over the video. Remember, the pentaholics are here to see your reaction, not the video - we've seen the video numerous times already. We only need to be able to see enough of it to be sure what exactly you're reacting to, in real time. Also, I'm pretty sure that someone has mentioned "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)" as a good one to watch, assuming that you've seen _"The Wizard of Oz"_ (the 1939 film starring Judy Garland). (Note: If you haven't seen the movie, "Wizard of Ahhhs" won't make sense, so be sure to take care of that first!) Well, one advantage of "Wizard of Ahhhs" is that its copyright is owned by Todrick Hall, NOT RCA, and Todrick seems to be more interested in publicity than in stomping on innocent reactors. I have never heard a reactor complain about copyright issues around "Wizard of Ahhhs." There's even one channel that's reposted the video with the title: "Pentatonix - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Todrick Hall)" and that's been up for years with no problems, despite it being a clear copyright violation.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you so much for all these tips. I will keep those in mind. And will check out your recommendation.

[@Badger77722]

"Queen in 5 Minutes" is actually a video by VoicePlay, not Pentatonix - and it's definitely worth watching!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Ooh! Thanks for this. I just saw PTX did Bohemian Rhapsody. Will check that one out as well.

[@imtherapycat]

Thanks again for your reaction video - so good! You may also enjoy their other "evolution" videos: Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Rihanna. As to Queen, absolutely! Please watch their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you! Looking forward to those!

[@margretrosenberg420]

I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s. If I could go back in time, able to just observe without the dangers of interacting, I would like to go back to America just before and during the early part of WWII, to watch how the events in Europe were being viewed in the U.S.. It was a pivotal time; there was a very real danger that America would support Hitler, and I'd like to watch the people who managed to prevent that disaster, see how they did it.

[@SaeedReacts.]

That would definitely be an interesting time to go back to.

[@UserHorologium]

Someone mentioned Papaoutai, but they also did a full song treatment of Somebody that I Used to Know which is more sophisticated than the snippet provided here But yes, please react to Papaoutai.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I probably will get to both of them. Looking forward to their rendition of these songs.

[@sherreeadams5176]

Oh, please take a listen to GOD ONLY KNOWS (beach boys cover ) and FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU (Elvis Presley cover). Both are beautiful upgrades and something I never thought I’d say

[@SaeedReacts.]

I definitely will listen to those as well. Thank you for the suggestions. Have a wonderful day.

[@karannewton3481]

If you enjoy these medlies you should check out their Evolution of Michael Jackson. Its a lot of fun and nostalgic too.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I recorded my reaction to that one and hope to get it uploaded soon. Have a great day.

[@katyvalco4774]

Your reaction to PTX is such an enjoyable way to relax after a long day. I wanted to ask if you see it blurred too... just curious. :)

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thank you so much. The blurring was done in the editing so i got to see the correct video. Some subscribers suggested this to avoid blocking.

[@katyvalco4774]

I think most of us have already seen the videos so blurring isn't an issue, I was hoping you could too. I see reactors using blurring, have the word copyright across the middle of video, using a watermark... anything to avoid blocking. @@SaeedReacts.

[@marablemorgan8292]

You just got "Mitch slapped"...

[@SaeedReacts.]

I did!

[@michaelf8702]

Placing a logo or the words "For copyright" over the video, or even just making the video slightly transparent, can you usually help with getting around the copyright issue?

[@SaeedReacts.]

I am expirimenting with that in the newer videos. It seems that the videos dont get instantly blocked now.
