I love that you're looking at your wife for her reaction most of the time... you're a true Pentaholic when you just want to watch other people discover Pentatonix for the first time, which is why pentatonix reaction videos do so well.

[@Badger77722]

It's so much fun to see someone who's never seen or heard Pentatonix before! I love your wife's reaction to Mitch! She was rocking gently to the music up to that point, but when Mitch started singing, she just stopped dead and listened until he was finished. It's one of the quietest "Mitch-slaps" I've ever seen, but it was definitely there! Can't wait to see her reaction to some more a cappella music, whether Pentatonix, Home Free, or VoicePlay!

[@ScalexCzech]

The first time someone showed Pentatonix to me (it was a Daft Punk medley), my reaction was even quieter. I'm an introvert and I don't show emotion outwardly. But there is a literal storm brewing inside my mind. My friend was a little disappointed when he didn't see "Mitch slap" in me, but it was there from the first moment, it just didn't show outwardly. :)

[@Gwennedd]

Your wife is lovely! And she has excellent taste in music! Actually, Kevin Olusola ( the beatboxer) does stamp as well as use his body and mouth for percussion. He uses a stomp pad these days because he was finding the stamping a bit hard on his knees. There is a 20 minute video called The Recording of Evergreen which shows quite a bit of how the group works together to create and record their songs. Evergreen is the 2020 Christmas album, so It's not just one song the focus on. One of the bits shows how Kevin and the group create backing noise and percussion. It's really quite interesting. Since you're both interested in Pentatonix, I hope you explore more of their music. Looking forward to it.

[@perfectkismet]

No... Kevin used a stomp pad back then, to amplify the sound. It worked like a microphone. Now, they use a recorded track for body percussion instead of doing it live mostly because of his knee but also so he can move around the stage more freely.

[@alan-freeman]

Pentatonix They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that. The founding members are:- Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead); Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”. Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease); Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese). Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on KZbin, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings. Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma. While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his KZbin videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing". Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours! They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on KZbin), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building. But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records. Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on KZbin, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live. Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers. But when their cove r of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label. They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys. Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry. Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group. If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently. After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre. Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/ Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET! They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star! Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!! 1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to. 2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album. 3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.

Your wife is adorable and so sweet.. I love ❤finding new reactors who discover PTX for the first time. My first PTX video was Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen. That is a must see, PTX are from Arlington,Texas. Scott,Mitch,and Kristen went to school together. They entered a-cappella contest called the Sing Off. Great place to start from the beginning of their massive 11 year career. We the fans are known as Pentaholic’s. A fierce and loyal fan base..Can’t wait for to you guys react to more of their music. I just subscribed…Love from Judy D from NY State

I had to come to the comments to say that your lady is adorable, man.

[@ScottauchterlonieMusic]

Thanks, I'm very happy everyone is enjoying her in the videos.

[@ChibiChula]

It was so lovely to see just how mesmerized your wife was watching/listening to the music video. It was also adorable to see her just freeze when Mitch started singing. Honestly though, I'm a bit mean sometimes so I was most entertained when she was so annoyed with you for pausing the video, lol. 😂👍

[@listayngeorge6929]

Saw them live when they came to Perth earlier this year.. It was just as good live.. they were brilliant

[@leslienoel6909]

I love the look she gave when you paused the video lol.

[@maryjaneluken5260]

Such a delightful reaction ❤️

[@devonvergiels5185]

What a great song to introduce her to Pentatonix. Sweet BTW, what a cute pup😊

Hello, I hope nobody minds me spamming this. I have now opened a new reaction channel due to complications on this channel it would be amazing to have your continued support and come join me and Vivi on the new channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3zacpdjpbSAicksi=6SmBJ_6TMVRLSxUe

[@stevef68]

You should really show her "Mary, did you know?" That video is stunning!

[@packratarkansas5388]

Beautiful to watch your wife and you enjoy real music together. My wife is from China and I do so love finding things to share with her. Try the Sound of Silence or Mary did you know. She will see more beat boxing in Sound of Silence. 😃

Love this reaction. Watching you watching knowing what was coming was superb.

[@jennilynpittman]

I love you fur baby!❤

[@riririri3331]

you guys seem so genuine, watching your reaction is very heartwarming. you’re adorable!

[@iankings6405]

Done well my friend 😊

[@vidsorama2]

I enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Thank you also for introducing your wife to Pentatonix. Happy that she liked them and their video. I look forward to more of your reactions to Pentatonix videos.

[@lorriredmon8212]

They have a huge following in Asia. You should react to and have her watch their cover of Rather Be.

[@kevinwells4986]

Awesome that you introduced your wife to Pentatonix. Her reaction is precious, as is your sharing this with her, and your puppy. I will see Pentatonix in September, and it's been a long time since I've really put out any a significant amount of money (to me anyway) to get the backstage pass, intro, and then sit up in the first five rows towards the center.... it was on my bucket list. I'm 66, but I absolutely cherish them and their music. Now I know about you two. Thanks!

[@kinjiru731]

I can only imagine her reaction to Home Free's version of Man of Constant Sorrow.

[@packerkats7578]

This was delightful. Loved it and you two are adorable. Kevin has 3 beats going at once during the peak of the song..stomping, clapping/chest pounding and beatboxing. He’s crazy talented.

[@leek9467]

Just a note: there is no "Drums" in the video, the effect is post production taking out the higher sounds and highlighting bass of the foot stomping you saw.

[@davidpost428]

Yes, they view themselves as a band.

[@tumanako7312]

Awesome thanks

[@blacktronlego]

If you like five-part acapella vocal harmony, chech out 'Home Free', they mostly do country, but there is a lot of variety, from old school, like Johnny Cash to new songs they have written themselves..

[@rogerramjet5214]

Your wife is so cute and adorable.......love her reaction............

[@lindawilson748]

I love how he looks at her with such love

[@sandyleewhite]

Welcome to the long winding road of Pentatonix, you are in for the journey of your life 😊 Pentatonix never ceases to amaze me, at just how incredibly talented they are, and take their voices to newer levels, we have never heard before.....there is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift!

[@emiliajojo5703]

Fun fact:the live version is even better;hard to believe,I know.

[@Mary-uw6tx]

They are from Arlington Texas USA. I have family members who went to high school with them. They are real!!😊

[@alfredh3071]

Dude, I’m subscribing just to see your beautiful Lotus blossom Vivi react to the amazing Pentatonix. I’m seeing the beginnings of an addiction, and I’m excited to welcome her into the family of Pentaholix. (Ok, you too) Truly a habit of which she can be proud. I suggest starting from the beginning and working your way through until today.

[@floydsimpson3640]

If you wish for her to hear a amazing song let her listen to home free man of constant sorrow.

[@coleensakamoto6844]

PTX sing songs with BTS & other K-pop groups as well as with Japanese groups & sing in both languages. Don't know where VV is from, but thought I'd mention it in case you both might be interested. Also, Kevin, the beatboxer, speaks English, Spanish & Mandarin. Looking forward to more reactions from you both.

[@suzonlommel3737]

I'd subscribe again if I could. I love the way you look at your wife and love your animals. That says along.
