[@LFRFAMILY]

These guys continue to amaze me! BUT I finally reacted to one of theirs I didn’t like. NOT THIS ONE, but you’ll see soon. LOL

[@erinmcpadden8228]

Please do "Run to you* 🙏🙏

[@adrianaperry3739]

Please react to Pentatonix amazing Grace

[@deborahhodges342]

I found one I was not please by. But only 1. These guys are incredible. With that being said there is nothing I don't like about Home Free. Not saying PTX is not as good because they are. I found the cover of Perfect by Ed Sheeran. not as good as I had hoped. That was a sad moment for me. This was perfect however and everything else they do is too.

[@jamiefowler575]

You wanna get "Mitch slapped" listen to superfruit defying gravity... Mitch and Scott will BLOW your mind to a million places

[@joycewetherbee7421]

That phrase “Mitch slapped” comes from the complete shock reviewers show the first time reviewers hear him sing in the upper registers. He’s a counter tenor with a 6-octane range. He has absolute control and makes it look effortless. Kirstin is the woman. Scott, the second singer, is a bass. Kevin is who you’re talking about making the noises. He’s their best boxer.

[@donnacalderone1115]

Believe me, saw them in concert in Toronto last summer 2024, they sound the same live. They are amazing in concert………they have endless sounds and harmonies 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@donnone7295]

Mitch has shorter than average vocal cords that help create his sound. Also Mitch and Scott met when they were 10 years old and Kirstin met Mitch around age 8. They grew up together through puberty and before most Men's voice changed. The original three all went to Community Arts Theater kids. That is why they know how to perform on stage and their harmonies are 20 years old and easy for Avi and later Matt to join in their songs. PTX is 10 years old as a 5 member band. Kevin has perfect pitch so everyone matches Kevin and you get PTX.

[@robinhays4466]

I've seen them 5 times, they sing it live the same way, they are amazing!!!!

[@Velimattiranta]

You not might know that... a second you listen to music, your eyes get eo soft and beautiful.

[@heinleinreader]

Each of them has a vocal range of five to six octaves minimum. That includes Kevin, their beatboxer supreme. Not only does he have a wonderful tenor, bit he has a fantastic falsetto that he's been known to let loose on the people listening. And they can all upshift and downshift in the entirety of their range with little effort. I am proud of my three and a half octaves, from mid bass through baritone and into the tenors. But these people have sick nasty singing skills. Kevin has perfect pitch, which with him as beatboxer makes him the perfect guipost for the rest of the group to take their cues from.

[@amiemariecreative163]

🤣🤣🤣 "did you hear the squirrel on the swing?" Man some of the stuff that comes out of your mouth seriously cracks me up!

[@joannechatman8536]

Mitch Grassi is a Counter-tenor. He sings 6 octaves higher than most people worldwide. This is a recorded fact!

[@jennhen2675]

I love all of their songs, but this one hits me all the way to the depths of my soul!

[@cynthialovesbooks]

Their rendition of Amazing Grace is phenomenal!!!

[@eawe]

Absolutely unbelievable.

[@rhondajones5282]

He is singing Italian and Kristen is translating.

[@coleensakamoto6844]

Kirsten, not Kristen. Scott & Mitch are doing what is called, "Call & Response". Kirsten is not translating because when she sings with Scott, they're both singing in English.

[@kennethcarroll5007]

Would highly recommend their version of Bohemian Rhapsody - another strong Mitch performance where he is the focus!

[@NickyNicole21]

YES I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THIS lol

[@LFRFAMILY]

ABSOLUTELY

[@jasonhueber6568]

Kevin does the sound effects and also has perfect pitch. You need to react to his solo cover of Down by Marian Hill, it’s amazing.

[@jonathanbrown4315]

yes. so impressive

[@alanr1608]

Definitely have to react to "Down"

[@undinehaugen9488]

I hear them singing and I get goose bumps and get weepy they're so good!!

[@ritathomas5167]

So glad you enjoyed this! I cried like a baby the first time I heard it. It is just so beautiful. I actually thought of you and your family on Christmas when I saw thar you guys had been sick. Hope it was a mild case and you all are recovering. Thanks for this reaction!

[@buckeyegirl16]

2 songs that go far beyond a Mitch slap to a full on Mitch punch would be Aha! Live in Singapore Star Vista (theres an official video but the Mitch Punch only happens in the live version) and Defying Gravity from Wicked (on his and Scott's Superfruit channel).

[@LFRFAMILY]

I’m going to hold you to that Mitch Punch. Not sure I’m ready. LOL A lil afraid actually 🤣🤷🏽‍♂️

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

Definitely check out super fruit as well! They’re awesome

[@Delcattiy]

You've been Mitch-Slapped enough that I don't think it would be amiss to intro you to the Mitch-Punch. You've also been slammed by their Wall of Sound too. And Kevin KO'd (every time you fangirl over Kevin's beats) and You've been knocked down by the bassists, both Avi and Matt. I'd say you're thoroughly part of the Pentaholics Family!

[@margretrosenberg420]

Don't forget their -cover- upgrade of "Bohemian Rhapsody." For seeing *other* people get Mitch-slapped, I strongly recommend their 12th performance on _The Sing-Off,_ which was the first time they were able to give Mitch his own solo. Shawn gave them a standing ovation, and the entire audience looked stunned. And sometime when you want to laugh until your sides ache, watch Superfruit's Frozen medley, featuring Kirstie Maldonado. They were all drunk when they filmed it, and they made some hilarious choices. And Mitch's final solo of "Let it Go" almost counts as a reverse Mitch-slap, with Mitch as the victim.

[@da71le]

Every single one of them have an incredible range some spanning up to 4 or 5 octaves.....stunning group

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

That was beautiful and they do it just as beautifully live ☀️

[@fourwinglmt]

The best thing about this cover is it is of one of the best operatic voices who was hand trained by Pavarotti himself. His name is Andrea Bocelli and he has sung this song with both Sarah Brightman (one of the original singers in phantom of the opera), and Celine Dion a canadian treasure. This rendition based on how Mitch introduces his vocals and how he sings is based off of the duet between Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. This song took balls to even attempt and they bloody nailed it

[@mamajenkins1981]

I’ve never heard anyone get Kirstin’s name THAT wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣. And yes they can do this live. There are several examples on KZbin, but the best one to me is the one from the Evergreen Experience concert they had on Dec 19. Hopefully someone uploaded it.

[@LFRFAMILY]

You ain’t have to clown me bout the name tho Mama J! 🤣🤣🤣 You’re cool

[@kaygirly19]

LOLLLL CHLOE seriously that was soooooo funny

[@SLove84711]

There is also on of them singing evergreen whist Scotts dad is playing the guitar for them I’m pretty sure it was one of their TX shows. They are re all smiling and Scotts dad looks so proud! It’s a beautiful performance too-written by Scott, Kirstie and Kevin dedicated to all of their moms!

[@angiemyers9793]

They can all sing anything they want. LOL. They are amazing.

[@helloxonsfan]

Awesome reaction vid... amazing vocal performances...!!!

[@theresarigio5627]

I went to their concert on Dec 12 and they performed this song. It was awesome and sounded just like the video. They are amazing. Their are plenty of live videos out there to check this out. I love your reactions. You are very entertaining and seem to be thoroughly enjoying the music. Keep delving into the PTX rabbit hole. You have lots more to choose from. 💕💕🥰

[@mypungkin]

They do 5 one takes & pick the best 1. They won't pick any that they can't sing live !!!! AMAZINGLY TALENTED. Scott, Mitch & Kirstie have been singing 2gether since highschool....

[@jenniferluff4197]

Saw them sing this live on tour. Completely genuine and fantastic, Scott's parents were there. Great experience as a fan!

[@LeskeyC001]

Your obvious enjoy,ent of musical excellence is what keeps me coming back to your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The sheer disbelief at what you were hearing was worth it! Mad props to everyone for pulling this one through and I want to mention Matt and Kevin who sometimes her overlooked when the solos draw the plaudits: these two are doing the essential background work which allows everyone else to shine and I was particularly impressed with Matt’s bass in this one. Grammys for everyone, surely, and that should include the lighting guy and cinematographer. Excellent and, in my view, possibly their one of their best efforts ever.

[@cindytaylor2220]

I saw them the 23rd in Grand Prairie! They are sheer perfection!

[@lisatoney8395]

I so LOVE watching YOU watch them ! 😀

[@junnelieruthlee9246]

I wish Pentatonix would perform a song with Bella Taylor Smith (Winner of The Voice-Australia 2021). Would love to hear your reaction to her blind audition. She is another awesome voice. Just like being Mitch slapped, you will be bella blessed.

[@howiedoing6615]

I've been watching and loving your videos for the last year or so but this one slipped past me until today. I love all of your reactions but this was one of my favorites. Thank you for the great content!

[@jenniferworley775]

Thanks for my morning happy. Great reaction as always, and you keep me laughing so hard I have to keep rewinding, but so worth it. I pray you and your family will be back to complete health soon. Love you Can !!!

[@alidittmar]

Such a beautiful song too ❤

[@danidynamite2]

I was one of the people suggesting this and I'm so glad you got to hear it. They're at the top of their game here. And the woman's name is Kirsten. Also now you've got me thinking of how Mitch would react to panties on stage 😂. And yeah, he's really that impressive live too. I'm gonna back to watching your Bill Engvall part 2 reaction now (cuz I had to pause it when this popped up) and I hope you and your family are feeling better.

[@LFRFAMILY]

Thank you for being one of the loudest voices to get me moving. 🖤

[@schuhschrank947]

Kirstin

[@susanreilly8547]

Sir I always look and see if your on! The LTR Family I love and have been watching you or son! You are the definition of truth! Never afraid of it either! Thank you for being here and sharing not just music I can't find the right word! All I can say is THANK YOU!! See you next time!

[@singjosingsing]

So uplifting Thank You!

[@oldschool72]

Super great reaction LFR.. come to expect nothing less...man oh man Kevins sound effects in this are beyond talent and Matt's base is just awesome.

[@marypulley6512]

She just opened her mouth and without a strain. Perfection. And all of the others do the same with no effort. This is one of my favorites

[@danielodonnell3801]

"Wouldnt be surprised if she could sing base" actually made me laugh 😂😂

[@denisehart7104]

Thank you for your heartfelt reaction ! I love PTX. I just subscribed, so I'll see more of your views.

[@trixielynn2004]

LoL. They're just as good or better live... Glad y'all are better!!

[@deniseglenn4691]

Also check out Kevin (beatboxer) and Matt (bass) in “ New Rules & Are You That Somebody” )(one song) they are aMAZing!!!! 💕💕💕

[@genesisfillmore1194]

They sound the same live! Amazing!

[@swamibeen]

I LOVE that you called out the pendulum! Give us a listen to your barber shop days…we’d love to hear a bit!! 😬

[@darlenemartinez817]

Pentatonix-Angels we have heard on high! It’s beautiful and Love me when I don’t (live)

[@deennaemilio]

This song "The Prayer" is from the movie "The Quest for Camelot" first done by Celine Dion and Andrea Boticelli.

[@barbknick.321]

They all have different vocals that come together as one!

[@rhondabutterbaugh1200]

Here is a link to a live version of them singing this song! kzbin.info/www/bejne/boOthGmhfsyKl80

[@thechomiji]

Mitch used to grin and emote in videos, and people got down on him for that: "This guy, he annoys me so much!" So he changed it up and became The Sphinx -- and now people get on him to that, too: "Why doesn't Mitch smile more, he has a beautiful smile!?" Can't catch a break, despite his beautiful voice. (He actually wrote a song about it: "I changed myself for the internet / Designed my piece of mind / I sold my soul, I'm a shell of it / 'Cause if everybody loves me, then I'm never gonna cry again." - Never Gonna Cry Again, on The Lucky Ones, 2021.)

[@taylormoye7098]

Being Mitch slapped it’s like being anointed. Jesus just washed your feet man!

[@amyhuggins9920]

You want live? Here it is, my friend! Also Van, I pray you and your family have a blessed New Year! Keep doin’ that THAAANG! Yes, I’ve been with you a long time. Nobody does it like )you do! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Real quick….Her name is Kirstie. Kirstie, Mitch, and Scott went to high school together. Then they found the ridiculously talented Kevin Olusola and Avi Kaplan (Used to hold down the bass line before he left amicably.)

[@cheryloakley8334]

This is the first I have heard Spanish come out of anybodies mouth and it fit so well.

[@angelacarpenter9134]

This is so beautiful I listen to this everyday 💕

[@joann1917]

Yes, its Mitch singing.

[@kimmdotson2824]

Beautiful song...

[@dorindas7330]

You make me laugh so much, so entertaining!! Thanks for the laughs, sending love to you and yours :-)

[@victoriaburch1367]

Come on Van. You know Mitch is not cheating. He's an outstanding singer with a voice of an angel.

[@duckedup]

@7:38 had me lol'ing, because just before that I looked up how much it would cost to book them for a Church event 🤣 My fisrt thought was 'Sugar hunny ice tea' ( had to ask my daughter's what that meant btw bahaha) .... Love ya and it's been fun watching your vids LFR fam! haha Good people

[@jeannedosterwise8460]

Thank you for sharing please be will God bless you and yours always amen

[@debbibounds5139]

Glad you and your family are doing well

[@clydehuset7738]

Omg, you went to the drawers again!😆 Seriously, though, these guys are amazing!!

[@elizabethtucker6026]

Drawers-throwing is fine, but might I suggest men's drawers, so the three leads on this piece can actually enjoy it? Lol.

[@michellebarry1555]

@@elizabethtucker6026 Ha! I was looking for someone to suggest that! Pretty sure the women throwing their underwear would have little to no effect on them. Only ones would be Kevin and Matt who are married and engaged 😂

[@lynn2574]

I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for covering it! There are several performances of them doing this live available- and they sound the same. Mitch’s voice is simply ethereal in it, with Scott’s rich fullness, and Kirstie’s powerhouse vocals…. It is a masterpiece both of arrangement and vocals. Your idea about the drawers dropping….. since Kirstie is straight and Mitch and Scott are both gay, it may be a more successful idea if guys were throwing them…… 😂

[@lynn2574]

Oh! Suggestions: Evolution of Michael Jackson, 90’s Dance Medley, Amazing Grace, Sing (original song)

[@donnone7295]

I'm sure he has No idea about Mitch or Scott or that Kevin is Married and his wife gave birth in April. Matt was looking at wedding venues with his fiance when they stumbled on the location shown in Amazing Grace.

[@bettydiorio8551]

Love your comments. Thank you!

[@MsSecondchance2]

ILOVE THE 1970'S I LOVE Millie Riperton Down Memory Lane. And her signature HIGHNOTE is called a Whistle Note.

[@Socialshug]

I absolutely am living for you reactions right now. 🤣💖🤣

[@imtherapycat]

Great reaction! And you're right, Kevin's vocal percussion is amazing!

[@judithbush939]

You can see them sing this live on the iHeart Christmas Special. It doesn't hurt being Mitch slapped. Youblearned to look forward to it. Scptt is singing Italian, because this is a cover of Andrea Boccelli and Celine Dion song.

[@debbieseymore481]

One word. CHILLS

[@Ron-n4j1l]

Grear reactions. Much love to you.

[@erinmcpadden8228]

RUN TO YOU! It's an original song written by the original bass singer Avi and it's mind blowingly beautiful. Can bring grown men to tears!! Please please react to it! Love from Ireland ❤

[@maryvictorious5893]

I LOVE your reactions.

[@pacio49]

Interesting idea. Just... you'd need to have some hot guys throwing their undies at Scott and Mitch, though. I mean, to be fair, they're not too interested in the ladies' undies. Speaking of Scott and Mitch, they have a side channel called "SUPERFRUIT" and they clown around and do LGBTQ concert stuff over there (thus the name). As a reaction to the Pulse Nightclub shooting back in 2016 they did a recording with three other LA LGBTQ performers, Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose, and Mary Lambert, and they did a cover of Katy Perry's "Rise" which is phenomenal. If you've been enjoying Penatonix, you should give a listen to Superfruit's "Rise". It's worth the effort, and it will introduce you to Brian Justin Crum, Mario Jose, and Mary Lambert, all of whom have their own channels and vocal masterpieces as well.

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

Agree with all of this!

[@alynkuster5138]

That is Mitch. He starts the song. I just saw them live in concert. It was just as good.

[@rugr82day]

You know besides having loads of Christmas songs and great original songs like Sing, PTX covers songs in almost ever genre. So they also have R&B, Pop, Hip-Hop and a Country remake of Jolene with Dolly Parton herself which won OTX their 3rd Grammy.

[@jcgothard356]

FEEL BETTER

[@missybishop4996]

You crack me up Love this channel for real Keep it up

[@joycewetherbee7421]

Mitch and Scott formed a duo called Superfruit. They did a song called The Promise. The song is beautiful all on its own. The video makes it more special. Ice skater, Adam Rippon, takes what’s already a beautiful song and makes it even more special. I would love to see you react to it.

[@hayleydavison6373]

You really need to listen to their version of shallow, its gorgeous.

[@QueenOfTheSea101]

my first hearing of this song was in the animated movie Quest for Camelot. then i fell in love with it again with Celine Dion's version with that italian singer guy (can never remember his name). now i hear pentatonix do it. can i say i love ALL versions of this song i've heard, each for their own reasons.

[@marilynrivera7731]

Dude I like you your so cute and funny I love your reactions their honest and as for pentatonic Amazing .best vocals I have ever heard wow

[@bfly5990]

New rules/ are you somebody by PTX Is freakin awesome and you will hear Kevin’s beatboxing and crazy bell tones. That is my suggestion for u to your next one. Glad you have recovered

[@BelleDede01]

Oh, you'll be Mitch slapped a few times in this video and of course, he sings like he's breathing, no strain. Yes, Scott is singing in Italian (Bocelli's part) and Mitch is singing Dion's part. Of course, Kirsty is harmonizing and taking some lead in the end. Kevin ... unique man ... and Matt supporting Kevin. Fantastic rendition. BTW, here's a live version of The Prayer by PTX as you requested. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2bbfqOgd7F_q8U |I found it hilarious when you mentioned a 'suggestion' for ladies to throw their undergarments at them. First, I think none of them would like that and second, they are not Tom Jones' type of singers to have that done to them. I think Mitch and Scott would probably laugh at it, Kirsty wouldn't be impressed, Kevin would be offended and Matt's fiancée wouldn't be thrilled about it. lol

[@SLove84711]

Joyful, joyful live at their 2021 Christmas tour showcases Mitch-heck all of them! There is a MI performance recorded by a fan that’s up close enough to the stage to see everyone and has pretty good sound quality for a phone recording:-)

[@annmc3878]

Mitch started off the Daft Punk medley. Everything PTX is good. They won the Sing Off Season 3 (10 years ago) and Homefree won Season 4. You can watch their performances to see how they started. They are all very talented. They performed The Prayer on their Christmas tour ( I know I saw them). They pride themselves of being able to perform their songs live.

[@Nicole-bb5sl]

I love your reactions!!!

[@danmattes60]

Mitch Grassi is a counter tenor who has a six octave vocal range. He is truly amazing.

[@tracyjohnson8057]

Yaaaaaaaaas bebbe that was the face of a Mitch slapped person lol.

[@jamiemitchell8281]

You should listen to them do Can’t Hold Us. They all rap which is great but it would give you a chance to really get Mitch slapped. He’s amazing as are they all. Thanks for taking such an interest in them. Also they have a live version of Hallelujah from a Christmas Show and you can hear for yourself that they don’t cheat! Thanks!

[@LFRFAMILY]

The pleasure is all mine. Trust that🖤

[@lauriep2018]

Oh no lol- you’re one of the ones who requests this Can’t Hold Us lol. I’ve seen them nine times in concert so I’m a total pentaholic, and it’s a really fun and entertaining cover, especially so early in their career. Bbbuuttt, it’s really old and they have gotten so much better that I kind of cringe listening to it sometimes. They’re not out of key or anything, but they aren’t as tight as they are now, their blending, their timing etc just isn’t comparable. I’m totally just playing around with you, a few others all for it a lot s well. I guess I’m just used to their current stuff 🤷‍♀️

You got Mitch slapped AGAIN 🤣 and I'm here for it.

[@janetburrows137]

Nothing quite like a good Mitch Slap. 😅😅😅😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tamaramcfarland8677]

If you have to ask if that is Mitch, then it's Mitch lol. Her name is Kirsty, rhymes with thirsty. You will see different looks in pretty much all the older videos.

[@bethcrandall1]

Yes, they can do thus live. I saw them on their recent tour. Just spectacular.

[@jamesantoine4318]
