Pentatonix - Hallelujah (Live) - Musician Reacts

What's your favorite song by Pentatonix???

[@ComputerGeek1100]

Either their Daft Punk medley or Bohemian Rhapsody are my favorite covers of theirs!

[@lydiavanevera8494]

Imagine

[@kristinhowk8231]

They are heavily involved in their arrangements. They do have a “invisible 6th member” their arranger/producer/co-founder Ben Bram (also worked on Glee & Pitch Perfect), but after the initial arrangement (usually the product of Ben, Scott - the baritone, & Kevin - the beatboxer, though that varies) the whole group sits down and works out the final version together. 2 of their 3 Grammies are in the category of Best Arrangement, and all 6 names are on both.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Not until after Avi Kaplan left at least, aka the deep voiced guy in this reaction. It was Ben, Avi and Kevin.

[@gregsteele806]

Deep Voice Guy (Avi) originally studied to be an Opera singer. Yeah, he got some skills.

[@rickbosch1502]

Cool thing to add is that anytime Avi or now Matt takes the lead seamlessly Scott will take over all the deep/low parts

[@barbarafrederick5158]

They write all of their own arrangements...and they have won 3 grammys for just that.

[@JacobRestituto]

Amazing

[@user-rn1hn3fg5y]

Jacob, honestly can not choose a favorite of Pentatonic's - again your explanations of the music is fabulous. You might want to check out Sounds of Silence.

[@rmac1042]

I cant believe how many of you reactors just slide over or talk through Avi’s 3rd ledger-space (contra bass) Bb at the end! That note powers the shower of overtones in that final Bb chord! Really, when you TRULY listen, that chord vibrates your whole body!

[@martifreedman4067]

Thanks for pointing out that reactors slide over or talk through Avi's work. I see it on so many reactions.

[@susanhunter7124]

I agree completely! Avi is underrated, and can sing better than all of them.

[@PtxXtp]

@@susanhunter7124 matter of opinion. Mitch is the most versatile with his voice and the most consistent live singer of the group.

[@hstppt]

I love when reactors pause to share their thoughts, but you missed a lot about their transitions & dynamics within the song by listening to really short clips & not rewinding a but when you start back up. PTX uses spaces & levels within their songs in a powerful way, you might want to calibrate a bit more for that. Excited to learn from a knowledgeable musician, I look forward to more.

[@margaretgrace713]

You're so right. I wish he'd react first then critique on a second viewing. Turned him off less than 3 minutes in... there are so.many more respectful reactors to enjoy.

[@evasecchi88]

Avi, the bass, left Pentatonix a few years ago and began his solo career. It's amazing, you should listen to some of their songs, Change on the rise, Aberdeen, The Summit, Born in California, etc. His work is really very good!

[@JacobRestituto]

very cool!

[@LottieOfWales]

[@ladrac198]

They are the main brains behind their arrangements, but there is a 6th "invisible member" whose name is included in all 3 of their Grammy wins. Definitely check out more, it's amazing what they can do with their voices. They just released an Amazing Grace arrangement the other day that is pure heaven!

[@ashbrea381]

Yeah, they make a point to put their PTX spin on everything they do. I haven't seen them falter since they finished their season of The Sing Off.

[@PtxXtp]

Ben Bram is only on their first two Grammys. Their third was not for arrangement so only Ptx and dolly Parton got the third Grammy. It was for best country duo or group.

[@Bine80]

This guy with the low voice is Avi Kaplan (no longer with PTX) and he is an awesome unique musician. Check him out 💚 Thx for this reaction. I love it when people react to them singing live as this shows of what they are really capable of.

[@polarbearcraze19]

I hope you check out Avi (BASS) now that he left PTX. You won't be disappointed. Great reaction and look forward to more.

[@lorriredmon7531]

This is the first time that I've noticed that Scott is actually covering the baseline when Avi is singing. I always thought it was Kevin. NICE job Scott!

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

I am not sure about Mitch. 5 though is quite possible. Tim Foust, the bass of Homefree, has 6 for sure. Scott's range is huge as well. Avi's is at least 4 here at this time. Kevin's was still in development and I don't know Kirstie's.

Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. Diana Ankudinova is now only 17 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice. Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl: Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.

Please check out their live performance of Telephone at Star vista Singapore. I'M JUST SO HAPPY THAT YOU'RE REACTING TO THEM AAAAAAAH

[@rmac1042]

I can’t believe you missed that Bb contra bass note (3rd ledger-space bass clef) that Avi sings on the last chord! The overtones shower down from that fundamental. Avi doesn’t need help on that note (he can sing a 4th ledger-line F# and sometimes lower in his chest voice because he is a basso profundo! The new bass singer, Matt Sallee, though a wonderful singer with his own skills, is a lyric bass-baritone, not a basso profundo, so he doesn’t have power in the contra bass register. Re: arrangements... it has been-from the beginning-the modus operandi of Pentatonix to sit around a table and “jam” on a song to get a basic arrangement down. They then go to Ben Bram to refine the arrangement and print out the final result.

Their Daft Punk Medley shot for $400 in a closet should tickle your fancy.

[@ComputerGeek1100]

I didn’t notice this until they performed it live, but the baritone/tenor (Scott, who starts this song), takes over the bass line when their normal bass takes over the melody. If you listen closely you can hear the tone become a little brighter because of how Scott sings Unrelated, but there used to be a documentary on Netflix that followed them as they rehearsed and opened one of their tours, if you’re interested! I believe it was called On My Way Home, I’m not sure if it’s still there but it was really interesting to watch

I love it when I find someone who gets a bit deeper with their reactions. I like to hear a musician’s take, especially with Pentatonix! (Also YES Northport...I grew up in Centerport. I heard your 631 area code and I was like whaaaat)

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

They take their own people with them to do all the mix and soundwork. A cappella is really so different they have to. Avi Kaplan is the bass. He has one of the most melodious bass voices you will ever hear. Would love it if you reacted to his solo work. Change on the Rise and the alternate version of Aberdeen will give you an idea of the absolute power and soft beauty of his voice.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

And be aware. Avi left PTX in 2017 for personal reasons. He helped them find their new bass, Matt Sallee. Matt started with Pentatonix for their Christmas tour in 2017, and became a full member in early 2018. He’s a great singer. Obviously, not the same as Avi-but great in his own right. Check out their new video of “Amazing Grace”. Matt starts with the first verse. You may see the members appearances change over the nine years they’ve been a group. Mitch (counter-tenor) is a true chameleon-different styles, hair etc, and he’s lost weight along the way. Kirstin also has changed. But the only personnel change has been when Avi Kaplan left and Matt Sallee came on as bass.

[@susanb4213]

Agree that when they use their own sound engineers, we get to hear the best from them. I've seen more than a few disasters when they've appeared on shows that don't take into consideration that they are acapella and don't balance microphones properly or don't do anything at all. Very frustrating when they don't, because it seems that either Avi was not audible or Kirstie would be too strong or too absent.

[@PtxXtp]

@@drieuxkoeppel8152 I know your comment is a year old but wanted to inform you that Avi picking Matt out is a rumor that keeps spreading in this fandom. Ben Bram contacted Matt looking for a bass but didn’t tell Matt who needed a bass. Matt didn’t find out it was Ptx he was auditioning for until he had to audition for them in person and they had narrowed it down to a few guys. Matt has confirmed this in an interview he did. Avi was not involved at all.

[@elenahume8295]

Totally agree

[@OdysseyRU]

Will you please react on a new Russian prodigy Diana ANKUDINOVA, 17? Foreigners call her 'The Queen of Goosebumps' (you often get them while listening) and in Russia her nick is 'The Shamaness' for her deep, dark and somewhat primeval voice. I've heard a few times how reactors called her 'The Possessed' because of the shocking contrast between her looks of a young girl and her true contralto. Some even think that her talent equals one of Dimash... She is getting popular in Russia and former Soviet Union especially after her brilliant performances on 'You Are Super!' contest. I suggest you to react on one of this performances -- Human, Wicked Games, Rechenka, Blizzard. Big thanks! =)

They write the arrangements together by ear as a group with Ben Bram in addition. See their 2 Grammies for the arrangements of Daftpunk and Dance of the SugarPlum Fairies. Or there is the sessions they did to arrange Pharrell's "Happy" to cover that were part of some of their videos shot while on tour.

[@musicfanatic6558]

Good information and nice reaction! Pentatonix collectively makes all the arrangements along with their producer Ben Brahm who has been with group since they won NBC'S "The Sing-off" in 2011. Their musical IQ is top notch and they are all hard workers who raise the bar and then raise it again! The tall blond guy Scott Hoying, the high tenor guy Mitch Grassi wearing the snowflake shirt and the girl Kirstin Maldonado are childhood friends and called themselves the trio before adding beatboxer Kevin Olusola and bass guy Avi Kaplan to become Pentatonix for the Sing- off competition.

[@grazynawikert-unger2122]

[@dawnthrasher3606]

Try a listen to their Daft Punk and Aha Live in Singapore at The Star Vista....Daft Punk is one of the ones that won them one of their Grammies. Scott, Kevin, Avi and Ben Bram all usually do the arrangements. They also won a Grammy for Jolene with Dolly Partin too. Avi Kaplin (bass) left in 2017 on friendly terms and has gone on to his solo career. Check out Change on the Rise. Avi is a basso profundo and has been operatically trained. His range is INSANE!

[@joebarnhart4460]

There was reverb added electronically to this live performance. Remember, this was not a typical concert -- it was a TV special hosted by PTX so they pulled out ALL the stops in getting the audio right. PTX arranges their own songs with the help of Ben Bram, who is often called the "sixth member" of the group. He shares at least two of their three Grammy awards. www.singers.com/bio/7375

The lines on the video is called interlacing. I don't know if you're using Firefox or not, but I had heard that there's some glitch with Firefox where if you watch a video at 1080p, the video has some interlacing in it. Sometimes you just have to turn it down to 720p to get rid of it. However, if the person who uploaded the video didn't deinterlace the video before posting it, nothing on your end will fix it.

[@marablemorgan8292]

They all have extreme vocal range...

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

The background to this band was formation for a TV competition called the Sing-Off with strict a cappella rules. Which is available for review and comment and many reactors do so. Every reactor goes through this for Pentatonix, Homefree and Voiceplay. Why would they do all of that modification particularly for a live performance if human voice and beatboxing was their brand and trademark? Try some of the patreon performances without even microphones to see. Now in the last couple of years that a cappella integrity has been lost, in my opinion, by the introduction of dead former singers Bing Crosby and Whitney Houston to their music but not in the beginning. They even had an argument about whether to use a whistle or have one of them do the whistle vocally to maintain a cappella integrity. Their Bohemian Rhapsody cover with Mitch Grassi replicating the guitar solo is a fairly epic moment and occurred the year after this. Kevin and Avi comprised the rythmn section with all sound effects of bass, drums, wind, overtone singing etc.

Nice reaction and analysis. Your comments on the general reverb make me wonder about the ability to use a slightly different sound mix for the video and the house. I can envision sending the mike feeds to two separate mixers - one for the house and one for the video. Or perhaps take the house mix and apply different effects, including reverb, on the way to the video recording. Another thought would be to record each mike track separately, then remix later in the studio for the video.

They did arrangements by ear and included Ben Bram as well as the band members. See 2 of their 3 grammies for arrangements for Daft Punk medley and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies. There are videos of arranging their cover of "Happy" for example with Kirstin explaining how they did it. This band video documented a ridiculous amount about the band's life on and off stage as a marketing technique. They were formed and filmed from performance 1 of the band on. So many interviews and private off 🎤 performances. Hard to hide much of anything living in a fishbowl with privacy consisting of your bunk on the tour bus maybe after documentary film makers were taken along on tour by the band. Of course their first Grammy caused people to notice them and led to this funny article about the gays, the straights and the girl after television (and their record label) had tried to keep that deadly quiet for so long. Oh the article has a live performance of Daft Punk in Japan embedded if you prefer to use that to react to instead of the official video. brightestyoungthings.com/articles/pentatonix-the-best-group-weve-never-heard-of

[@tanyawebber5311]

check them out on old tv show the sing off

[@JacobRestituto]

thanks for the idea!

[@Risingvibes001]

Don’t interrupt so much pls ❤ love your reactions though

[@JacobRestituto]

Hope you still enjoyed the video

[@oliviac6627]

This is a live performance, but it's lip synced to a pre-recorded track. It was part of one of their Christmas specials.

[@JacobRestituto]

Ahh makes sense

[@hstppt]

Do you have a source for that? PTX doesn't lip sync their performances, so I am skeptical.

[@oliviac6627]

@@hstppt They lip sync many of their performances. Their Christmas specials are largely lip synced. Their official videos are all lip synced. And yes, a number of their songs on tour are lip synced. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppu9ZmOpmbR-iqM This isn't a dig against the group. PTX are wonderful, their arrangements, voices, and production are all top notch. Like many artists, they lip sync both for quality assurance and to preserve their voices across heavy touring schedule. The difference between live and prerecorded is not difficult to distinguish. See any of their actual live performances of this song to note differences.

Anchor... my favorite PTX song (an original!)

[@lbelen87]

Is it reverb or echo of open arena sound?

[@JacobRestituto]

Depends on how big, but likely reverb - if it’s huge, maybe a little echo

[@marablemorgan8292]

They do.

[@cindymcvay9579]

They write their own vocals with Ben Bram.

[@JacobRestituto]

nice

Pls react to Little Mix performing Secret Love Song on their tv show Little Mix: The Search

[@bingobillable]

First time seeing one of your reactions. You obviously know a great deal about the music industry. Although I know you must pause or talk to avoid copyright claims, I prefer reactors who pause to comment and then go back to before the pause to retain continuity. Yes, I know I can and do go to their channel for complete versions and I do. My main reason for watching reactors is to see how others react to performances I love. Speaking of performances I love, can you react to Angelina Jordan’s initial release from Republic Records? It dropped Friday.

[@andrefiano3182]

Oh also check out Pentatonix Mary Did You.

[@JacobRestituto]

Coming song n

[@JacobRestituto]

Nice!!

[@andrefiano3182]

Not sure what toy thought of Kevin he didn’t do any singing but he was working it in the back

[@JacobRestituto]

😃

[@stimey4477]

I am a huge pre avi leaving pentatonix fan, however my belief is that this was pre-recorded and mixed. When they breathe and the actual breath differ slightly. Just my opinion. It’s next to impossible to be that perfect on a live performance. I sing in a barbershop quartet, and there is always one or two blips that happen with almost every song…

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ayesilvera1262]

Thanks for this! Pentatonix version of this song is the best I've heard, if I'm being honest. It'd be amazing if you could react to "Oggie Boogie's Song" by Voiceplay. ♥️

[@Bunchofavids]

React to Little Mix - Secret Love Song performance at The Search they just performed last night 🔥🔥🔥
