PENTATONIX Say Something | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@cosmo1580]

I just realized what makes Pentatonix's music so unearthly and beatiful. They ALL sing as if they were singing the Lead Part!! Each artist sings with such precision, and focus, no matter what their "role" is n the performance.

[@랜디로즈-f2s]

아무리 좋은 음악도 많은 사람이 들어야 좋은 명곡이 되는거지요 조회수가 이게 뭔가요? 그대는 좋은사람입니다 내가 힘이되어 줄게요 1시건 삮제

[@Badger77722]

This video is in my top 5 all-time Pentatonix favorites. The emotional lead by Kirstin, with Avi's equally emotional solo, the silences during the slow additions of each member to the song just after Avi's solo, and the buildup to the climax, with Kevin bringing things back down to earth - it's about as perfect as a song gets, for me. I believe that this was the first video where Kevin celloboxed with the group - always a treat to see/hear him playing cello! The "stillness" of the video is based on the idea that it's an old-time photograph, where people had to sit still for up to several minutes in order not to be blurred. You may notice that Scott (who tends to sing with his hands) is gripping the chairs in front of him very tightly in order not to move - there are a few shots where you can see his arms jerk as he starts to move and then remembers he's not supposed to be!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh! That’s so interesting, thanks for sharing 😊

[@janeramirez8767]

This is one of their best, though often overlooked.

[@terrycupp6687]

Totally agree with you! There is really a lot more going on in this song than first meets the ear. I call it “devastatingly beautiful”

[@AnnikaRamhqvist]

This is such a beautiful sad song and they do it so well. ❤ They always emote so well too. Kirsti looking like she’s about to cry at times. It’s amazing. On a happier note I can imagine Scott’s knuckles being white from holding on to the chairs so he won’t move them around 😊

[@GingerJohnson-uu9lw]

She very well could have been near tears at that time. She had an infected eyebrow piercing during the filming of this video. If you look at her right eyebrow it’s a little puffy and she wasn’t feeling great at the time. And this may have been Beyoncé’s first appearance with the group. (That’s what Kevin’s cello is called).

[@danielryan4050]

I saw a comment on another channel that Kirsti had an eye infection when filming the video. Worked out really well, the expression on her face leads to the emotive feel of the song. Scott, white knuckling the chair so he didn't swing his arms around like he normally does was quite amusing.

[@smithpauld1501]

I fell down that rabbit hole last year. When I saw this one, my only comment was, “Well, that was heartbeaking.” They’re all performers, but Kirstie is the Broadway/West End musical type and her facial acting in this one is devastating.

[@SgtSplatter782]

She did a run with the Broadway Cast of Kinky Boots

[@KS-xk2so]

When Avi really lets its rip I can barely focus on anything else.... just absurdly talented.

[@rlhcat7662]

How can a voice be so powerful and gentle at the same time???

[@yoclark2723]

I love that they really act the part of that sadness of the song. It just breaks my heart.

[@lauriefarmer7724]

My favorite PTX song. That's saying a lot. I've seen them live 5 times. I never get tired of them.

[@ms.laperry8106]

They wanted this video to look like a painting come to life.

[@MoreThanColours]

For more Scott watch “lost on you” with Mario Jose “All to me” by Shoshana Bean featuring Scott “Rise” by Superfruit

[@leslieholland7843]

"Rise" by Superfruit is amazing and should absolutely be a reaction.❤❤

[@amyed3415]

All amazing

[@miguelsilva3867]

It's funny, I watch Jennifer's videos and I see how long they are and think to myself, 22 minutes??? I start watching and then say to myself, that didn't feel like 22 minutes. Such a good reactor and great at breaking down the video without making the watcher feel bored. Thank you Jennifer.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@ms.laperry8106]

I've seen them twice. 2018 and the Evergreen Tour. I wish I had the money to go to all of their concerts. I had a blast.

[@deanmarion5477]

This song is extremely emotional draining, beyond emotional that we didn’t soak the tears.

[@AliciaMoore-Morada]

It wasn't Mitch but Avi who was harmonizing with the cello. Kevin said he tuned his cello to match Avi's tone.

[@brodee2002]

This comment adds soooo much to the comment I just added... 🥹💔♥️

[@mariesmith6494]

Avi is playing in London this September in the Union Chapel. You should go and see him. He is great live!

[@suzannedammodonnell9599]

September 5th at Union Chapel 😉

[@unpluggedkiwi1063]

They truly are masters of their craft.

[@angelomichael4156]

Yes have seen them live one of the most entertaining and fun shows I have ever seen

[@mattdranchak8]

This is my all time favorite ptx song, it’s beautiful. Never fails to make me tear up

[@suzannedammodonnell9599]

You should check out Avi’s solo work! He just recently released two songs, “Healing” and “Feel Alright”. He’s releasing an e-album in April. He is also starting a tour in the US in May, and an UK/Euro tour in September. He’ll be at the Union Chapel in London on Sept 5th.

[@megjones7860]

Thanks Jennifer. I love how you break this all down. It's like hearing PTX songs for the first time as you highlight some hidden gems in the arrangement.

[@peterwatson7753]

I saw Pentatonix love last year in Auckland, New Zealand. Love them. I will go again when they come back.

[@davidelkins571]

OMG I love you!!! I've been waiting for this reaction

[@simsweechuah9753]

Beautiful and informatiive reaction to a beautiful performance. Thank you.

[@rogerroger5171]

I have seen PTX 5 times live and attended the first Pentacon convention with other PTX fans around the world.

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their Prayers For This World.

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

I did the VIP experience for their 2022 Christmas tour it was epic! And 3 days before Christmas. Bucket list item ✅

[@AlishaYouch]

I got to see Pentatonix in concert twice last year - the world tour last August in an outdoor amphitheatre and the Christmas tour in December in an indoor arena. Needless to say, both shows were spectacular, but very different. The summer concert included an opening act, and the set list was songs we knew and loved, while the Christmas concert was just PTX and was (obviously) all holiday numbers - but included their new, awesome releases (Kiss From a Rose and Pure Imagination/Christmastime is Here.) The Christmas concert also included a lovely intimate surprise with the use of a second stage at the back end of the arena (RIGHT in front of me - I almost died for joy!) These concerts were worth every penny and every hour of driving to get there (3 hours for one concert and 7 for the other), and I'll do it again when I get the chance! 💗

[@curnicova9]

I finally saw them live last year. One summer show and one Christmas show. The summer tour is very casual, fun and they sounded great. Their Christmas show is a full on production. It was amazing, and they sounded amazing!! I was with my mom, sis, and 4 nieces and we had so much fun.

[@ShinyElfriend]

It's so beautiful and heart wrenching. I enjoyed your commentary!

[@heatherhuard]

I do wish you would react to more or Avi's solo music, to emphasize his range check out his last 2 releases Healing and Feel Alright both are stunning.

[@claremarcer1047]

Saw them last year and they are fab… very much the same as the recordings

[@31Blaize]

8:20 to go from that bonkers bass note to main vocal.... Ooof.

[@mkaplan519]

Hi Jenn, I saw them Live last year in Toronto Canada and they were just great. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. They are amazing live.

[@abigailhorton5370]

This is a PTX one I had overloooked! Thanks for the analysis and for re-introducing it to me🥰 I make that same face when Avi starts to sing lol

[@angiepeterson1282]

I have seen them 5x, they are unbelievable live. Absolutely worth the money to go.

[@Nunyabizness_]

I watched your music videos last night Jen and was amazed! You have a powerful voice girl! You need to let it rip!!

[@Tampahop]

Sometimes it just feels like one mind shared by five bodies.

[@elenahume8295]

AVIII IS AMAZINGGG ❤❤

[@gregsteele806]

Got to see them in 2019 at an outdoor amphitheater. Then last December for their Christmas concert. Indoors, in what they said was the largest venue they'd ever sold out. Both times were amazing, but we had great seats and a great sound system for the indoor concert. Fantastic.

[@AlishaYouch]

Did you see them in Hershey in December? I was there, and, I was really surprised when Scott said it was the largest venue they had ever sold out. What a show!

[@ronswinford4952]

For a long time this was my favorite song by them. But you can see how much growth they have had when you see the last releases. Still great performance, but Kristen has come a long way since this, they all have, but she is the star in this.

[@davidelkins571]

I've been waiting for you to do this one. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Have a awesome day girl!

[@reginairvine3919]

Hopefully you will react to some of Avi's solo music soon.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Each person in Pentatonix could easily be a lead singer and that is why they are so darn great. Their voices blend so well and let's face it, their whole vibe is outstanding. They really did a good job with this song. It made me cry a little, Thanks for a great reaction again Jen

[@davidquenneville7611]

I love you. You're always spot on. Carry on love.

[@smithpauld1501]

Jen, just as I need to come back to all these songs periodically to hear more, I find I need to come back to your reactions. I don’t quite understand how this works, but I seem to hear some of what you’re hearing.

[@TheSeeking2know]

I haven't watched this in years! Thanks for reacting and resurrecting. One of my old favorites from them. A true PTX classic.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@geniecoils5185]

Love your reactions and analysis. Can't wait for tomorrow.😂

[@davidh.4649]

Jennifer! Another one I don't think I've heard in advance so I'll be hearing it with you. I know the song though. Lol, if you forgot to introduce yourself I missed it. But I think I know you by now. 😁 Wow, the depth of color of this song. There is a real feeling of almost hopelessness at times which I guess is the point. Really nice arrangement and such young and fresh Pentatonix faces in this one! Great reaction and analysis as always Jen. 😊

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Easily forgotten when i’m doing a focus week😂 thank you!

[@Jennifer_J_C]

This track really gets the emotions going, thanks for the insights aa always Jen 😊

[@amyjane13]

this is gonna make me cry fr

[@philipkudrna5643]

Finally! And probably the best analysis of this song / arrangement I have seen so far!

[@ttjoslin]

Seen them 3 times live. Sound exactly the same in person!

[@KaaSerpent]

I had forgotten this cover existed. I remember loving it more than the original at the time, and I still do. :)

[@bradclifton5248]

Love this song and love PTX version even more.

[@Pentherpile]

I've seen them in Prague in 2017, few months before Avi left. It was fantastic.

[@sandrinamuller3729]

I so love Avis voice. Did you check out his solo music? It's just amazing

[@franquijanes7325]

I saw Pentatonix live last year... amazing!! hoping to get to London for Avi Kaplan this year too.

[@jenniferworley7115]

I read in one of their comment sections that they had to have Scott with a strong grip on that chair to keep his hands and arms still. As we all know (and love) about Scott he does love a good arm movement. 😉😁 This has always been a favorite of mine from PTX. Great reaction/analysis as always, Jen. Thank you so much, can't wait for tomorrow's video. Peace and love for all.

[@dianneantos480]

Oh, Jen, what a terrific job of teaching, using this incredible video to do it! PTX will always provide you with an abundant amount to things to point out. ❤️🤗

[@vickyrobertson3166]

I love listening to them. They are so amazing. A couple of fun videos that people don't usually react to are "Come Along" and "Butter x Dynamite". Please keep reacting to them.

[@cactusjuice8277]

I didn't think any more reactors would react to this masterpiece. Thank you

[@lurchernut7]

Subscribed for more Pentatonix reactions x

[@Blackard84]

This will always be one of my favorites of theirs... fun fact, Avi taught Kevin to sing, and this or Little Drummer Boy was the first time Kevin sang on a PTX song.

[@BillBailey-r9x]

The won the third season of "The Sing Off" and to watch is to learn about this group. Really enjoyed watching the show.... Where they came from and how, where they want to go, etc...

[@alfredh3071]

You didn’t comment on it, but did you hear the overtone from Kirstin?(15:24) and (19:23) Sounds like she’s singing three notes at once. Don’t think it’s post, I believe I’ve heard it her do it live. She did it on Where are you Christmas, and Seasons of Love (which was live) she hit a C6 but you could hear the c3, C7. Go to Can’t Hold Us, so fun.

[@brodee2002]

When you do their "Dancing On My Own", you are going to literally DIE... In a good & also in a not so good way... I'm here for all of it... Ready to cry with you ❤

[@liloheinrich8659]

Kevin is insanely talented between singing beatboxing and cello… and being fluent in multiple languages and could have been a doctor

[@terrilabeth]

I have always loved this one, they are very believable, they take you on a journey and it is a sad one. It is interesting for this one, I can hear Kirstin’s Texas accent in parts of this and that isn’t always the case? I am from 2 hours north of where the three are from so same accent but even I hear it. Love it and thank you! 💕

[@wesgarden74]

We saw Pentatonix last year with the Christmas tour. Next we need to go to a concert that is not Christmas music.

[@sandrawalkerhaliburton1884]

You have no idea how many times I have seen men cry reaction to this video

[@charlottevan_8]

Since you appreciate Avi's smooth and resonant voice, I recommend you at least listen to, if not react to, his original song "All Is Well" - this version recorded in a church in Utrecht, Netherlands during his 2022 European tour. Just him, his acoustic guitar, and the natural reverb of the building. Just one example of the fantastic catalog of work he's produced since 2017. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX_Nk3R3n6tnisk

[@cocohol3513]

So beautiful! And Avi will be in London in September

[@cathyboyce6457]

YES!!!💚

[@barbarakennedy2667]

It's so sad that it is so hard to react to Pentatonix videos without getting it blocked by the powers that be of KZbin or the capricious management of the recording industry. I first discovered PTX through reactors. I find that I don't watch as much PTX anymore because of it. It is not that I don't still love them. I just get tired of hearing that the videos are blocked and reactions are only on Patreon or another alternate site. I miss the old enthusiasm of my favorite reactors, I guess. Sorry for griping about it. Love your reaction. Thank you.

[@badabimbo80]

It’so fascinating, just before Kevin’s ending, how the BVs go “somethingah-oh-uuh”. I enjoy so much watching your videos Jen, it’s technical and emotional with a little bit of hysterical, and it’s very unique, bless u 🙏🏼💙

[@thechomiji]

Nice! This is such an emotional song. You might want to compare/contrast their more recent cover of "Shallow."

[@chetstevensq]

Scott was ordered not to use his hands while singing, so he death gripped the chairs.

[@tiffymcconkey]

Fun fact: When Avi would sing lead, Scott would take over the bass line if needed

[@Elelelelelelelelelele]

How does Jen hear all of these things at the same time!? I’m struggling to focus on one voice literally auditory overload and she’s picking every bit of it up 🥲

[@8randomprettysecret8]

Hi Jennifer!!! 💃

[@InkWellideas]

I much loved hearing this when new - Kirstie ably paying homage to her "country" idols, but in a thoroughly PTX way.

[@kimberlyredden8616]

Very reaction video

[@barefootalien]

One of my favorite PTX songs... so good. I adore Matt, and in a lot of ways he's a better blend, and a more technical singer, but geez Avi's warmth is irreplaceable in this.

[@Dianecraftyspeak]

Your poor microphone 🎤 😅 today. Haha. Great review. I had chills from the get-go with their version of this beautiful and hauntingly sad song. I heard someone say PTX doesn't do covers, they do UP-grades. So true ❤

[@ThexImperfectionist]

Have you reacted to Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

[@JellieBeanieMamma]

Ive only just discovered you, so i apologize if you've already done... but you have to react to Avi Kaplan as a solo artist on his channel. He has newer music as well as throughout the past 5 yrs

[@rlhcat7662]

Really good reaction to a wonderful video! One thing - when you sing their parts as part of your analysis, your voice is sometimes VERY loud in the mic. You might want to move back from the mic - we will still hear you. See you in the next one.

[@shelleyalgate4433]

You should react to Kz Tandingan on The Singer 2018 sing this song and also any performance by Jessie J on the same show

I saw them live in St. Louis last year. The concert was great and I enjoyed it, but I really miss Avi's rich, incredible bass line.

[@SandMan29331]

I really enjoy Pentatonix cover, but I still prefer the original version (the one that doesn't feature Christina Aguilera as a guest vocalist).

[@tor_sgith]

I saw them in London last year and I hope it isn't too long until they are back here in the UK. They were so good live. And I'm hoping that Mitch does a UK show for his solo project Messer at some point soon.

Avi needs to come back man

[@kerrythomas6220]

Why do people get all over solo artists if they don’t write original music, but don’t say a thing about Pentatonix not having any originals? Isn’t that a double standard?

[@kerrythomas6220]

@@stephanie3230 They do? I’ve never heard them perform one the many times I’ve seen them. Are they on their albums?

@Gwennedd they also had one with Avi that was all or mostly originals, I don't remember album titles.

[@rogerramjet5214]

I believe it was Avi who was harmonizing with the cello…also just a thought… I know you must stop during the song for copyright reasons, but please don’t stop so often because it’s frustrating and ruins the continuity of the song. I do love your reactions, honestly, but perhaps not so many little things to comment about. Just a thought…hopefully a constructive one, to make watching your channel smoother and more enjoyable. Thank you!

[@chrispavlich9656]

She is a vocal coach and it is a reaction channel. And copyright has almost made it impossible for these people to do it the way we would like it. Just go to the official video and watch it uninterrupted there. Problem solved.

[@rogerramjet5214]

@@chrispavlich9656 I understand the process. I’ve seen the video dozens of time. I like Jennifer. I just think she is over-picky. Going over the same line several times and pointing out obvious things. I watch many reactors and have for several years. With the exception of a couple, they all stop and comment due to copyright. However, I’m also a musician and music lover. I do love watching other people enjoying and reacting to the music. Jennifer is one of a very few who feel the need to point out every little, and I mean every little thing. I’ve watched Jennifer react to lots of songs, and she does the same thing with all of them. It’s almost painful, the number of pauses. I was merely suggesting that she pause fewer times to keep the flow of the song. Respectfully submitted.

You absolutely interrupt too much. You don't listen to the music long enough before you are makng comments about a part you haven't you haven't even heard fully.
