If you want your mind blown by one of their live performance, then I strongly suggest you check out "Pentatonix, Aha! Singapore at the Star Vista." Note: Kevin the beat boxer is also there, but off camera. Prepare to be amazed. 😊👍

[@shilohauraable]

I 2nd this recommendation! It's an awesome live performance! 💖

[@jennidlugi7200]

I 2nd this also. Aha! Singapore at the star vista is a must see live performance!!!

[@hydrosan13]

Absolutely! However I would recommend watching their official music video of AHA! first

[@Bobal27]

Big fifth from me (since the second second should be a third ;p ).

[@dbqdude75ify]

YEAH... I have been hoping you'd do this one. They won their 1st Grammy for this.

[@TheBeesleys99]

Not surprised! Its awesome!

[@lelesssloth9056]

To be more specific, they had low budget (cost less than 500$). They arranged the songs, recorded this in a closet and filmed in the kitchen of Avi & Kevin. Pure talent! They don't won the Grammy, the Grammy won them. Love from France

[@Bonofox1]

@@TheBeesleys99 There is only ONE beatboxer THE SUPER INCREDIBLE KEVIN (black guy) Kevin sings tenor and plays the cello Avi (Ah-vee) is the bass/basso profundo also sings baritone and overtone... Scott (tall blonde guy with the white painted hair) covers bass when Avi or new bass Matt has a singing lead Scott is a baritone and hits AMAZING falsettos is VERY SOULFUL and is the KING of riffs and runs. Kirstie is the mezzo soprano/alto Mitch counter tenor (high voice)

[@christinegamache5893]

Sound of Silence and Imagine by Pentatonix are amazing. Bohemian Rhapsody is also amazing. They're just so good!

[@stevesuarez1903]

This won them their first Grammy Award.

[@micheleg4540]

Sound of silence is also an amazing rendition

[@gtrzero2157]

they won a grammy for this. I think they have won 3. You will double your sub count if you keep doing these reactions. PTX has a massive loyal following. Cheers!

[@orphu88]

Pentatonix makes me happy, and your reaction makes me even happier!

[@TheBeesleys99]

Im glad it has helped your day be even better 😍

[@acorrado5529]

Glad you enjoyed this one! This is one of their "Medleys" which is a signature thing for Pentatonix and amazingly they are all done in one take. If you like this one, they have quite a few other ones that you would love as well.

[@ellenstrack6274]

When you get to Amazing Grace the low bagpipe underlying note in the beginning is Kevin and Kirstie...

[@LeeCarlson]

This is a medley that won Pentatonix their first Grammy award and was produced in the space of one week, with a $400 production bonus, using Avi's closet as their sound booth.

[@drewjsnyder3]

I'm pretty sure they shot this video in Avi's apartment. He's the bass in cornrows. Kevin, the beatboxer, tried wearing blue contacts like the rest of them but couldn't handle the irritation. You can see how red some of their eyes are during their closeups, especially Avi. So that's why Kevin is in goggles that look like they're from the year 2150 lol. They made this video themselves for around $400 and it won them the 1st of their now 3 Grammy's.

[@lynnes5783]

Avi and Kevin lived together, this was shot in the closet at the apartment and they did their own editing at the kitchen table bc after they won the Sing Off the record label decided not to sign them, so they had to do it on their own through KZbin

[@thamertanner5448]

What other 2 songs won Grammys?

[@drewjsnyder3]

@@thamertanner5448 Grammy Award Results for Pentatonix are as followed. 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards (2016) Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Jolene. 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards (2015) Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella. Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards (2014) Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

If you are totally amazed you might be interested to know this was one of their earlier songs, not "produced" but done in an apartment kitchen and closet. Oh and in Aha! Singapore Avi blows the speaker (bass)

[@heatherdyer1569]

I’ve watched so many reaction videos for this song by PTX and not one person has noticed that they do not blink! 😂 You’re the first. 👍🏻🏆❤️

[@steventambon2588]

Its great watching you go through PTX, who I have loved for years. But more importantly, I am glad youre still doing the history/cultural stuff. Keep it up

[@TheBeesleys99]

Always keep it with mixed content! Thats how im gunna learn and explore aha!

[@iamjenniferjames]

♥ New subscriber and Pentaholic! Just a heads up - the Evolution of Michael Jackson was actually a medley of 25 songs. 😃 I Want You Back 1969 ABC 1970 I’ll Be There June 1970 Ben 1971 Dancing Machine 1973 Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground) 1979 Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough 1979* Rock With You 1979* Billie Jean 1983 Beat It 1983 Wanna Be Startin’ Something 1983 Human Nature 1983 Thriller 1983 I Just Can’t Stop Loving You 1987 P.Y.T. 1983 Bad 1987 The Way You Make Me Feel 1987 Man In the Mirror 1988 Dirty Diana 1988 Smooth Criminal 1988 Black or White 1991 Remember the Time 1992 Heal The World 1992 Will You Be There 1993 You Are Not Alone 1995

[@chasiegrisaffe5867]

Mash-ups...they excel at it. They also excel at performing separately and then they're all put together flawlessly...they created an entire EP last year (during quarantine) at their own homes...all the songs have to do with home, and it's called, ta da da da, "Home"

[@marcom6089]

This had me moving from the get go and didn’t realize it until Beesley said, get me on the dance floor. 😆 Excellent performers with an out of this world talent.

[@lindamorris3149]

This one is a medley of their songs. Sometimes they do evolutions, sometimes they do mashups and sometimes they do medleys and of course covers and original music too!

[@catriverotter9527]

Many reactors talk about aspects of Pentatonix's SOUND but you're the first I've heard say he wants to DANCE while listening. Daft Punk were most known for their club/dance hits, I think, & wanting to move while listening to PTX's medley proves how successfully they translated those hits to a capella. Thanks for sharing!

[@steveray9655]

With Christmas coming right up, I would recommend their live performance (not from a concert, just performed/recorded live in the hallway of a stone chapel) of "Silent Night".

[@Jim-ub9ky]

This is a mashup of seven songs from daft punk. There is a live version of this song here on youtube.

[@janetburrows137]

Love it can never be to loud !!!! 😂😂❤❤

[@louisebacka]

Pentatonix doesnt do covers they do upgrades 😁 Please react to Amazing grace and can you fell the love tonight. Or do one of their originals. Maybe Sing or Coffee in bed

[@joanbaillie9925]

I love your joy filled reactions! You really appreciate their talent. Please do more!

[@ravenm6443]

I’ve never cried over a band’s retirement or disbanding until Daft Punk. Their disbanding felt like a death. I was so sad when I saw their post. Didn’t help that the visual were basically a death. I literally cried. I hope someday I can get either Discovery or Alive albums on vinyl. It’s literally impossible right now.

[@bridgethaines7127]

The mindblowing concept of an instrument-less acapella band performing ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC. It's no wonder they won a grammy for this for the arrangement.

[@bridgethaines7127]

Also they barely blinked because the contact lenses were TERRIBLE and very irritating (see how red Avi's eyes are?). Kevin couldn't even wear them at all, thus his visor.

[@dbqdude75ify]

I see the suggestion for Bohemian Rapsody in the comments. This video should come with a "MITCH" warning. You will see. Also, I've been sick so I haven't gave you a congrats on 20K! Lastly, I do not recall you smiling so much on videos as you do on PTX. GREAT WORK 👍 👌

[@TheBeesleys99]

Legend thank you! Hope you are feeling much better now!

[@Cate5013]

This is one of my favorites from PTX. I've watched the video dozens of times and actually downloaded the track. Glad you caught this one.

[@suziballinger4230]

They won a Grammy for this video.

[@blackkatt777]

I highly recommend their original song called LOVE AGAIN. It's similar to this video, with a Steampunk alien theme. Mitch is a beast with his head voice singing. And Kevin did a bass drop that made me lose my mind. Made me wanna search for the nearest music festival. Lol

[@spiderfingers86]

They're an acapella group ranging from tenor to bass

[@popcultureoverdosed]

I love watching your reactions so much. They're always so fun

[@tedhuppert7693]

Have watched your posted reactions and enjoy what you do! Have liked and subscribed, hope you keep going for a long time!

[@sidwha4665]

This is the one they won a Grammy for.

[@sanmingixoxo7125]

The coolest thing about this video is the fact that they shot it in a closet, with a ring light and a back light and that was it....but it's better than MVs out there that cost exponentially more to make.

[@debsreno911]

Cool! Now do Bohemian Rhapsody please! 🙂

[@MamaAtiny]

You must watch the Singapore AHA video. I saw them do this live and it's amazing!

[@mikemath9508]

1:53 I choose...that absolute weapon, the white haired fella. He looks dangerous

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Hi welcome to PTX. They are amazing. You might check out their Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah, Havana. They cover Kiera’s. “ Gold” And it’s insanely good and recorded live

[@taniareads8751]

If you react to Gold (and my goodness I hope you do - it's another one take video), I hope you first check out the original by Kiiara (sp?) just to see what PTX do without the electronic backup and looping (I think that's what it's called) that she used.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

The "Evolution of..." series are arranged in chronological order; this medley is not arranged that way, and in fact repeatedly goes back to songs that it already used earlier in the medley, and mashes them up with other songs. And yes, they absolutely can do this live; there's a video on the internet that somebody shot with a phone, of them performing it backstage for a small room full of VIP admirers. No microphones, just the five of them standing in a line singing.

[@joanmilano5302]

PLEASE react to their BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - it's AMAZING!!! Keep up with the Pentatonix reactions and we Pentaholics will come, watch your numbers grow! New subbie here. 😃

[@terriv9002]

Avi is the base and Kevin is the beatboxer. My favorite Avi and Kevin shows are Love Again and Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@r.d.stratford106]

Your reactions are absolute smile-makers! All I have to do is press play, and you bring the happy.

[@stephenleblanc3370]

Welcome to your PTX journey! It has many layers! Enjoy!

[@KitKatyKath]

You seem to have loved their Daft Punk mash-up. You should try Home Free's Butts remix or their Country fried pop remix. I'm absolutely sure you'll love these two mash-ups too!

[@Bobal27]

Mitch blinked at 3:26, Scott blinked near 3:29, I was gonna watch for the rest, but then have to go through at least 6 more tries to catch them all with time stamps. Besides, I think Avi blinked twice on my way to catching the time stamp on Mitch’s blink.

[@150mcl150]

I’m so glad you’re reacting to pentatonix! I hope you keep reacting to Home Free too!

[@heatherhuard]

Hallelujah from their Christmas special, Aha you can compare with their official video and then live Singapore from the Star Vista. And their 2016 Popspring performance includes 4 songs including Evolution of Michael Jackson.

[@spiderfingers86]

Pentatonix won the Grammy award for best music video from this song. Only cost them about $400 dollars while spending the whole time inside of a closet. Kevin couldn't wear the contacts because they hurt his eyes so he wore a mask instead

[@r.rodriguez1257]

You do a great job of reacting to various videos and topics...enjoy them all...Like your accent too...

[@uwbadger79]

They made this for $400 and filmed it in a closet and recorded in a kitchen. They won their first Grammy for this.

[@emilynicholson5726]

If you like the mash of the songs, I recommend you react to PTX 90s dance medley. It is SOOOOO good. And you should also react to The Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Imagine

[@robin8773]

they do hallelujah live at a christmas special that is especially good. theyalso do a song called gold where they are all just sitting and singing..a good mitch song.

[@spiderfingers86]

I'm naturally a baritone so it was a challenge for me to sing upwards when I played the part of Javert in the show Les Miserables

[@MrJake98]

I am fan of PTX over 8 years

[@rebeccanguyenasher8427]

Amazing Grace by Pentatonix is awesome.... also, you should see Home Free do Ring of Fire😊

[@gegahex]

Evolution of Music by pentatonix would be a good video to react to. And if you like the "evolution of" format, then the evolution of disney by todrick hall would also be fun

[@r0kus]

I think you missed it at the end when Scott referred to this performance as a "medley", or mix of songs sung together. Anyway, fun reaction, thanks.

[@sirwadsontoast5928]

Great video! Glad you reacted to Daft punk.

[@jonasbrofan136]

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but this was there first Grammy. They, I believe, recorded it in someone’s kitchen and then shot the video in a closet. The whole thing coast around 500$, or 400$. They all worse those contacts, which bothered most of them. You can really tell with avi. Kevin couldn’t wear them at all, hence his cool glasses.

[@KumquatJam0991]

Just a point of recommendation, full volume on their video in your recording was fine and your own voice is strong enough that you could cut the volume on your voice by 10-15% and be totally fine

[@lindafintling2042]

The link allready suggested is for a VIP backstage all acoustic version wich is mindblowing. When they don't use microphones, the base and the beatboxing is harder to hear than the more piercing vocals from the trio. If you want a live performance with mics, try this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKuXdHmbjKece7M It's with their new base, Matt, and not Avi, their first base singer.

[@SusieHerrera]

Sound of Silence is a great one to check out too...

[@LeeCarlson]

You might want to watch their cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody," John Lennon's "Imagine," or Simon & Garfunkle's "Sound of Silence." I know that they have a live Christmas performance of "Hallelujah," though the Official Video has more than one-half BILLION views.

[@harleyadam4813]

I can't go quite as low as Avi can in general, but I can hit every note he does in this compilation.

[@tomahawkjam2823]

A couple other great ones by PTX to check out would be Aha! live, and Love Again. Avi (the deep voice guy) also has a bunch of solo work I think you would like. Keep up the good work bro! 💪💪

[@dbqdude75ify]

This is one of my top 3 performances by Mitch. Beesly if you see this you've been warned about Aha.

[@xheralt]

It's a "medley" (not to be confused with melody), which is the technical musical term for a mashup.

[@taniareads8751]

If you liked the vibe of this one - check out their original song Love Again. It's great!

[@janetburrows137]

Love. I and you noticed they don’t blink. Kevin’s got the glasses cos he couldn’t wear the contacts. 🤷‍♀️❤️🇬🇧

[@grase99]

i agree with the commenters saying that the best performance of this is the live off mic private performance that others have linked! like yeah it's great on stage with the lights and speakers but the private performance is an awesome vibe and literally what it would sound like to just hang out with some friends and go "hey, you guys should sing that one song!" and they just get up and sing the whole thing flawlessly. it's so awesome

[@jkoneman]

They filmed this in a closet, paid for a video editor. Total cost was $400.00 USD. They got a record label deal and a Grammy.

[@Jadeleath]

Nice reaction & welcome to the Accapella joy! You've now experienced two of the three big three. There's Home Free, Pentatonix and VoicePlay. Check out VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie Song, Queen in 5 minutes & pretty much anything by them. For Pentatonix though, I'd really like to recommend The Wizard of Ahhhhs, with Todrick Hall.

[@nuimaleko7]

Love Again is in a similar vein but they wrote it.

[@QueenOfTheSea101]

you and millie need to hear 90s dance medley by them. it's amazing.

[@Masq1980]

If you like the vibe of this song, you should check out their Original song 'Love Again'! it is very EDM kind of sound like Daft Punk and is sooo good!

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

This sort of song is a medley (Scott you can catch saying really quick after the song) or a current slang term for a medley (or a variety of ways to combine songs tech helps do now) is “mashup”.

[@madhatman9166]

They did a collaboration with Lindsey Sterling that you would probably like.

[@deennaemilio]

They filmed thin Avi's closet and the video cost them $300. They won a grammy for this.

[@robinmcdaniel6821]

Very little blinking because their eyes were on fire

[@samjonna9488]

If you want to dig into more acapella, and particularly the bass end of it, the 3 big ones going 'round the net lately are Avi Kaplan (formerly of Pentatonix, but now does some solo/non-acapella - check out "Change on the Rise"), Tim Faust (Home Free, you just saw them), and Geoff Castellucci. Geoff does work with Voiceplay (their "Oogie Boogie" song is perfect for Halloween!), but also does solo mixes with himself. These videos are SUPER impressive for both Geoff's range (I think it borders on 5 octaves), and the technical skill to edit (visually as well as musically) 4 or 5 part harmonies and make it look smooth - "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold" is a STUNNING rendition!

[@jeangoodwin1856]

Great reaction. I love your smiling throughout the video. So glad you enjoyed this. Please react to Bohemian Rhapsody 💕

[@call4906]

[@slroberts283]

They did this for $400.00 in Avi's closet. Won a grammy.

[@perfectkismet]

People are going to be really sad if you don't do the live version as a reaction, too 😅 You actually named it right - Daft Punk is a "mashup". Technically speaking, a "medley" is one song right after another and a mashup is when the songs are entertwined together. So the Evolutions are medleys and Daft Punk is one of their mashups. And they have quite a few really spectacular mashups where they basically made one new song out of two... like La La Latch (La La La and Latch, songs by two different groups but both originally sung by Sam Smith) and New Rules x Are You That Somebody? (Dua Lipa x Aaliyah/Timbaland). A good one without a video is Despacito x Shape Of You.
