FIRST TIME HEARING Pentatonix | Hallelujah | Reaction

Pentatonix were nowhere on my radar until I reacted to a few of Home Free's songs. Many people then told me that Pentatonix are the BEST. So of course I decided to see for myself. Here, they sing Hallelujah effortlessly and perfectly.

Avi was bass in this song. Whenever the bass singer has a solo, Scott, the tall blond who sang first, takes over as bass. Avi left in 2017 and Matt became bass late 2017. That was the only member change in their 10-year history. Thank you for reacting to Pentatonix. I look forward to more Pentatonix reactions.

[@LFRFAMILY]

Thank you for the information and introduction into what I can expect from them. I'm impressed so far.

Scott can sing bass. This dude can sing like 4 optics. Just perfect! But he didnt do the bass part. It was Avi who did both bass and lead vocal in the first verse. They overlaped the vocals.

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Shortly before he passed, Leonard Cohen the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix cover of his song. He said It was the best cover of his song he had ever heard

[@CollinReinking]

This has been widely debunked.

[@MarcosPerez-wx1fx]

If I'm not wrong Leonard Cohen died 20 days before the cover was released, so I'd only believe this if someone from the group say they show him the song and that hasn't happened.

[@callalily9842]

Pentatonix is the best a cappella band on the planet. 19.4 subscribers, almost 6 billion views, 3 Grammys, 10 million records sold, numerous world tours, etc. I highly recommend their cover of "Amazing Grace", "The Sound of Silence", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" or "The Prayer". They have hundreds of songs including originals to chose from and honestly EVERYTHING that they do is mind-blowing.

[@perfectkismet]

At the point when you asked about the bassline, it was actually their baritone (blond) covering bass because the bass (beard) was singing lead. That's how gifted they are. Every member has at least a 4 octave range, including the current bass (possibly excepting the beatboxer... I think he does, but I haven't seen a compilation addressing that yet). Welcome to Pentatonix!

[@feathersandspikes2166]

That 1st Mitch-slap is always so precious! Enjoy the Pentatonix rabbit hole as much as all will enjoy seeing you experiencing it! Blessings!

[@pacio49]

Welcome to Pentatonix! We fans are called 'Pentaholics' because we can't get enough. Get ready for the viewer and subscriber bump on the channel! Since it's the season of the holidays, you can't go wrong with reacting to their holiday songs. Pentatonix was started with Scott (blonde, baritone with insane range down and up), Mitch (round had/high tenor/insane vocal range up), and Kirstin (latina soprano) in Arlington Texas. They added original bass Avi (knit hat, insanely low bass) and Kevin (black man, beat boxing/percussion, tenor, also plays cello on a couple but they show the instruments they use) before they competed on a TV show for A Capella groups in the early 00's called "The Sing Off". They won the Sing Off, got a record deal, they all moved out to LA as neighbors in the same apartment complex for the contract, and then a week later the producer dropped the contract because they didn't believe there would be enough of an audience for A Capella. Pentatonix decided to stick it out. They began to shoot videos and used KZbin as their main vehicle of popularity and publication of their songs and videos. One strategy they use consistently is releasing crazy-popular Christmas Albums every year (Hallelujah was part of one of their holiday albums). And they steadily rose in popularity, signing back on with the parent recording company of the original production label that dropped them. Look at the number of views on their videos.... over half a billion on Hallelujah alone. They won three Grammy awards, each for covers, so... there's that. One of their early videos, Daft Punk Medley, they produced for $400 in their closets at home, and it won them their first grammy. For holiday Grammy awards, they did an adaptation of the music from the Nutcracker ballet, "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", which is entirely instrumental. That won them their second grammy. In later years, Avi had some family concerns and realized he couldn't keep up with their world tours (yes, world tours) and concert and recording schedule, and he had to part company with the group. It was a friendly split, and Avi helped the group audition his replacement, which is another black gentleman named Matt (also insanely low bass, just not _quite_ as low as Avi, but still an excellent musician). Avi and Matt are the only two members who swapped places. However, Mitch and Kirstin have a habit of radically changing their look and their style for each and every music video and appearance, to such an extent that folks new to the group can get confused and be like, "Wait, wasn't there a blonde in the desert? Who's this morticia goth lady?" So for holiday faves, you can't go wrong with "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", and they just dropped this year's runaway hit, "The Prayer". Folks like their rendition of "Mary Did You Know?" too, but I'm personally more partial to their rendition of "O Come All Ye Faithful" where they took historic African arrangements and polyrhythms and actually use a choir to back them up. One final note - Pentatonix takes great pride in releasing videos with 'real' sounds. While their videos do get some mixing in the sense of voice balancing, compression, and reverb for production quality, they don't rely on auto-tune or digital sound effects. There are no instrument tracks unless they show you themselves playing the instrument. There are no drum tracks - it's all Kevin who is arguably one of the best beat-boxers alive today. There is only one video where they used any kind of vocal effects whatsoever, and that was in their "90's Dance Medley" when they sang "Believe" by Cher, who was the first artist to use vocoder effects to give her voice an obvious electronic warble in the chorus, so Pentatonix in homage to her used the same effect in the same place, but clearly called out that's what they're doing. Live versions of many of their songs exist, which proves that they can and do produce the entire range of sounds, in real time, that you can hear on any video. If you watch "Daft Punk Medley" next you'll see why that's even a question for many viewers. They have been singing and practicing and living their lives in close proximity for so long that they function both as soloists and as a single vocal organism, and they have a sympathy which allows them to pivot on a dime. You can see that in motion in one video which has a radio show giving them the game "Pentatonix Tries to Sing 100 Songs in 10 minutes" (they don't make it, but they stopped at like 96). Welcome to the fan club. We're glad to have you. Next Pentatonix video, please, sir. ;)

There's a live version of Pentatonix Hallelujah. The live version really showcases their raw talent. Definitely react to "Mary Did You Know". These 5 are amazing! The beat boxer Kevin also is a classically trained cellist. Mitch, Kirsten and Scott have known each other since they were kids. They met Avi, their bass, through a friend and they found Kevin on youtube. Avi has since left the group on great terms and help find his replacement Matt. Matt is also an amazing singer. ❤

[@rachelc.9570]

Mitch (counter tenor, highest voice range), Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty mezzo soprano) and Scott (baritone and bass when the bass has a lead) have been together since about 10 years old. Kirstie and Mitch are chameleons and constantly chasing their looks. They are so great at singing together and not stepping on each other's vocals. Kevin the beatboxer and cellist also played in Carnegie Hall twice before 14, he also plays the saxophone and speaks fluent Mandarin. Avi the bass while no longer in the group, it was nothing wrong, he wanted to go solo but they got Matt Salle who had a voice like liquid silk and was a great addition to the group

[@rodb9275]

I always love when this is a reactor's first listen to Pentatonix!! It never fails that they are "mitch-slapped" at the same spot. I love Home Free too, but I think I have to say that I love Pentatonix slightly more. You should do Home Free's "Ring of Fire", because Ari (the bass for Pentatonix) joins them for the song.

[@tracyjohnson8057]

OMG this is your first time with them? I am shocked because you really seem to love the stuff you listen too so I have no idea how you missed these guys.

Welcome to the Awesomeness of Pentatonix. You're in for a hell of a ride.

[@rogerroger5171]

You asked about what it was like for the try outs of the group. Scott, Mitch and Kirsten all went to high school together. After Scott and Kirsten had graduated and was finishing their freshman years in different states, Scott approached them about trying out for the NBC show "The Sing Off". They added Avi the bass singer in their earlier works on recommendations from people Scott knew, and they asked Kevin to join the group based on a KZbin video he posted "cello-boxing". So the group never had any tryouts until Avi left the group a few years ago. They did hold try outs for the replacement who turned out to be Matt Salee.

[@rogerroger5171]

It was interesting when Matt went to tryout for PTX. He was already a massive PTX fan, he even attended concerts and other events with them. When he answered the audition, he didn't know it was for Pentatonix.

[@cassandrahepp6445]

Pentatonix, Homefree and VoicePlay. They are (in my opinion) the perfect trifecta of the A Capella world. And they often have crossovers. I look forward to any reactions you do to any of these groups.

PTX, Home Free, Voice Play and Voctave are all amazing acapella groups. All have their fans and a lot of cross over fans. I started with PTX because they had TV specials and New about them that way.

Great Mitch-slap moment! I’m sure others have already, but to answer a few things … there were no auditions. The tall blonde, the girl, and the guy in the hat (Kirstie, Scott & Mitch) grew up together and have been singing together since they were kids. Avi and Kevin (beatboxer) were brought on to audition for The Sing Off. They won. Avi (bass) left several years ago, and was replaced with Matt. That is the ONLY member change in their 10 years. But Mitch and Kirstie love to change things up and confuse people. When Avi/Matt is singing a melody part, Scott covers the bass. Mitch (in hat) has a huge range and is known for his crystal clear tone. Their recent release, The Prayer, shows off his talent in full. Enjoyed your reaction.

And the crazy part is Mitch is not doing falsetto. He is a counter tenor. He does it so effortlessly

This version of Hallelujah is a favorite of many. I do hope sometime you'll listen to kd lang's version. It's my favorite. She is a very underappreciated artist. To me, the lyrics of this song are about how love can be very bittersweet and I think kd's version captures that 'angst' 'tension' 'imperfectness' better than any other.

Oh do check out kd lang, even if you don't do a reaction. There are a couple of good videos of her doing Hallelujah: one in front of Leonard Cohen when he was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the other at the opening of the Vancouver Olympics. Those demonstrate the intensity and emotion of her voice. Something like Miss Chatelaine demonstrates the sheer beauty of it.
