2022 NEED THIS | PENTATONIX - IMAGINE | REACTION

[@adelebernstein1973]

You totally GOT it!!! They WERE singing for all of humankind. You are a true Pentaholic now, and there is no cure! No rehab! You haven't been brainwashed - you've been EARWASHED!

[@mindymorgan8479]

I've watched this Chanel so many YEARS! I always come back to this video. Isn't I beautiful? You can hear every WORD. NO other version does this. So beautiful. I'll never stop loving it. And watching you watch it. ❤

[@mindymorgan8479]

I just watched a video. And they all sang the SAME NOTE at the end. How freaking awesome is that.

[@Markeeta_Roberts]

I am just a snow white woman and I am happy with that. God made us ALL. We all have a mission in life. I was a math teacher, I hope I helped to make math not so evil to my wonderful students. God Bless You, Van, and your family also. I totally enjoy your show and love the way you bring people together.

[@cassandradenise3037]

In the words of Kevin to Scott “ That white boy got soul man “ Scott can DEFINITELY SANG HIS BUTT OFF !!!!

[@richardscaggs5936]

Yes‼️ Did his momma duct tape his butt back 🔙 on ? 😂🎵♥️

[@kaygirly19]

so nicely said

[@Karen-Campos]

This song brings the epic PTX wall of sound there in the middle!!! You’re right, their bell tones are exquisite!

[@MarkoMakela-mv8dt]

Mr LFR... You reaction was over the top. It is hard to understand that only five people can make a song sound like they had a band behind them... Even the percussions are made by them... Good grief... And the harmonies are out of this world for sure.

[@lynn2574]

That magic when they all sing? That immensely difficult, moving, harmony of beautiful sound? That is what we call PTX’s Wall Of Sound. Also- their labels are beautiful. They are each beautiful in their individuality (I believe Kirstie is also of native American decent). But their visual of how the individuals also make up humanity makes me want to be a better human.

[@ruddyvancouver1005]

Van, I love your sense of humour! :) Your knowledge of music, your self deprecation, and of course your appreciation of PTX. Altogether a pleasure to hear your reactions. Thanks!

[@mypungkin]

Scott has sooo much r&b in his voice. Shawn from Boyz to Men kept calling him a beast.....

[@jessiefogarty8119]

I love Shawn so much. He was an incredible judge and he has a vast and varied taste in music. I read an article once about him living a somewhat obscure indie band I am a huge fan of - dismemberment plan and I was floored and fell in love 😍

[@FaithfulServant316]

Wait till you hear a Real choir of Angels 1 day praising Jesus in Paradise heaven🙏 ✝️

[@sonofjorel1000]

​@@FaithfulServant316 imagine no religion

[@danifeatherby]

​@@sonofjorel1000I've met fewer angels in religious circles than I have outside of it.

[@leobaer4131]

Thank you for this reaction, I highly appreciate it! Cheers from Switzerland, Leo

[@lexymich3647]

The difficult part is called a wall of sound. Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott grew up together since they were 10 years old and are all 3 self professed choir needs and they were in musical theater. Kevin was classically trained on the cello and saxophone and played the saxophone at Carnegie Hall when he was 17. That is huge honor. Avi was trained for opera. The thing you might have missed about the cards is whatever word they passed to the next person was what they had in common but great catch on the human thing before the end.

[@randybrooks4516]

This message is even deeper then many get... they show the connection to each other, after identifying their individuality... then end at the ultimate truth...we are 1

[@jeanniehampton6090]

They could sing the names out of a phone book and it would be WONDERFUL😊

[@kathieholland4176]

It's called High School choir. I just love watching you, it seems like I always come back to you. I'll go off watching other people and the next thing I know I've got you on there again. I just love watching you do reaction thank you.

[@kathyritchie2996]

I didn't hear the John Lennon one due to life and family. I knew he wrote it but the PTX did the BEST message and soulful-restfullest version I have ever heard.

[@cheryloakley8334]

They are the best vocalists in this world. Avi left and I am so sad, He didn't like touring. they are all still friends.

[@celiachristman104]

Yes...their "bell tones" are their "signature". This was Scott's first real "coming out" in public. Avi, being trained in opera, was a perfectionist. You said they had perfect harmony. Avi (the bass) was always insistent they do it perfectly. They can't hide behind instruments. Scott's favorite music is R & B. Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch were in every choir they could be in while they were in high school at the same school. Those three started their singing journey when they were in elementary school. Thank you for your PTX reaction. I look forward to more.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Oh I didn’t realize this was Scott’s first time publicly coming out. Wow that hits even more now.

[@Delcattiy]

@@melissacoviello2886 yep, absolute first time public. It had to have been so scary... I had a terrible panic attack before even telling my family that I was pan. Now being in his position, telling the WORLD? Idk how he was able to, except for maybe having 4 friends that are close as family, 2 of which have known him since elementary school. So much respect for him on that.

[@6li8storm40]

@@Delcattiy I didn’t know that the first time I saw this, but you can kind of see it in his expression and body language when he takes the card.

[@smckenzie2697]

Thank you. I appreciate your amazing comments. This group is amazing

[@valerierivera8249]

Not only is perfect harmony is perfect sound leveled, and sound expansion and expression… making intervals (sound space full of sound vibration which makes the color of their harmonies absolutely beautiful, filled of so much texture with misfires of vibrant and shod color in the different sounds they emit in the musical journey they mapped, and every transition the technic they use for each change to continue taking the listener in the at journey is like incredibly perfect! They are that Voice in many forms or colors and levels of sounds.., GIFTED!

[@valerierivera8249]

*Mixture of vibrants even sound

[@valerierivera8249]

And then they bring it home On VOICE

[@richardscaggs5936]

My mom used to have a record on Roger Whittaker sang John Lennon's song of " imagine," also .

[@rebeccamunoz2948]

Great reaction my guy, please more Pentatonix. My personal favorite is “ Can you feel the love tonight “! I think you’ll love it. This Pentaholic would appreciate it so much.💕💕🎶🎶🦋

[@missybishop4996]

Everyone should compliment people all the time.....we need more kindness and positivity now a days Seriously

[@markhermans5284]

Hard to take that song to another level than the original but they certainly did. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@erivera700]

The visual demonstrates that these individuals can live and perform in HARMONY.

[@fluterify]

The first soloist is Avi (the original bass). The second soloist is Scott (the baritone). The third soloist is Mitch (a tenor). The fourth soloist is Kirstin (the mezzo soprano). The fifth soloist is Kevin (the beatboxer, cellist and a tenor).

[@LesleyBeswick]

Mitch is not a tenor he's a Countertenor (alto)

[@Wyndigayle]

I love how much their amazing harmonies, and overall talent, just blow your mind. Why? Because I relate. I've never been a singer (other than the car and hanging out with friends), but my years in band (concert and marching) and orchestra fostered a love of music theory. I'm not classically trained in theory, but seem to have an innate understanding of it. Pentatonix blows me away. Their understanding of what works, in sound and arrangement, is just ridiculous. That, in combination with their amazing vocal talent, makes them one of the most enjoyable groups to listen to...period. Love your reactions! Stay healthy and keep safe. And have a great day! :)

[@natb5187]

If you want to hear Scott 9the tall blonde guy) at his super soulful best, check out their performance of Let's Get it On from The Sing Off. Make sure you watch the whole thing so you can catch the reaction from Boyz II Men's Shawn Stockman. He was one of the judges on The Sing Off and a huge fan of Scott's.

[@leobaer4131]

Dear LFR, I don't think, that there is any meat-riding in complementing Pentatonix. I'm absolutely happy with your comments and analysis. Thank you for your reactions, I highly appreciate them. Cheers from Switzerland, Leo

[@genesisfillmore1194]

This song is BEAUTIFUL!

[@annmc3878]

Thanks for continuing to react to PTX. So often, listening to just one song doesn’t show their full talent. But the more you hear/see, the depth and breath of their talent shows through. Thanks again.

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

Avi is the 3rd tallest member, but the video makes him look like the shortest!! The tall blonde is Scott, the lead singer most of the time, and founder of the group!

[@melaniemarceaux9580]

Key word... diversity..... we all love each other.. we are ALL HUMAN ❤

[@zipadoodlebug7124]

I just love how they put their spin on this song, absolutely beautiful. This makes my mind and heart cry, because I wish "everyone" would see people with the heart and not the eyes. The heart conveys what the eyes see, and if there is love and acceptance, then there is peace and happiness filled with love for one another.

[@lorriredmon7531]

" We represent human beings all over the world" AMEN! I sang first soprano in Acapella choir and I get how hard it is. I believe they all have perfect pitch too. I am so in love with Pentatonix!

[@kcamp2364]

Thank you for your reaction! This one always makes me cry.

[@jcs1025]

Just as many chills when they do this live.

[@TheInkdN3rd]

Pentatonix, members past & present, are amazing HUMAN BEINGS first & foremost. THAT is why they bring such joy to those who are blessed to be introduced to them through their gifts & talents. They truly represent so many & so much & they know that, & are humble & kind. I feel like we all need PTX in our lives!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

"Nothing to kill or die for". It would be a nice start

[@thewattone]

This video gives me goosebumps every time. And yes, from someone familiar with a cappella music, those harmonies seem impossible.

[@Sweeney541]

Scott is known as the King Rifter for a reason. :) There are plenty of compilations on youtube of "Scott Hoying riffs and runs" - you should react to some of those :)

[@MsJimmysgirl]

Their music gives me serious chill bumps

[@Eightdb]

Thank you! Everyone talks about the beauty of their sound, but as a 73 year old choir junkee, I LOVE that you talk about how difficult it is to sing like this. From HS varsity choir, through college, and after years of singing, they still amaze me. If you don't listen to them with headphones, you miss so much.....and if you have NO experience with singing, you miss even more. As individuals, they are miraculous. Together, they are a force of nature.

[@maryvictorious5893]

They have an amazing conductor, or whatever you call the person who directs.

[@debbieknight9802]

I"m a 68 year old white woman and I Love you so much with your reactions . Please react to them singing Creep from the Masked Singer .You wont be disappointed.

[@wizzpmedia7185]

Bruh!! Love the reaction. Comments already said his name Scott. Want more soul, Please check out Scott Hoying and Mario Jose cover of Lost on You. It will blow your mind!

[@diawesthues7504]

Okay... they deserve compliments every step of the way :-) how can you not!

[@B3thBakes]

The words they write in the video, its that where they put things they are insecure about, or struggle with, something they dont like.. that kind if thing.. something theyre proud of..

[@maryjohnson7077]

thank you

[@ruth2141]

I like the way you summed up the message of the video. I am a singer (though certainly not on their level) and I love this message that people can be different but come together to make something so beautiful. The members of Pentatonix are also very different in their musical tastes, but the fact that they are still together after more than 10 years with only one change shows how much they appreciate what they can do together.

[@sharonchaput9705]

This is so beautiful and almost unearthly.

[@cindy1581]

around 7:52 they are doing what they call their Wall Of Sound. its absolutely beautiful !

[@CharinDE]

Yes! this video represents ALL of the world!! TY for recognizing that!

[@kareng4658]

You are so right, the world NEEDS this right now! This song and performance are timeless, we need it all the time to remind us of who we are.

[@kylesummers1565]

Most hominids would not consider what I do "singing", and I don't recall ever being invited to a choir. However, I still have a Great Appreciation for their Talent! Peace, Love!

[@Tamara-jz7jo]

I love how these Acapella groups have made you fall in love with voice again! You may deny it... But it shows 😁 I'd love to see you react to Home Free doing Love Train 💜💜💜 P.S. Do it! Go ahead and start your own vocal group... You know your heart wants to!

[@joannepauley9622]

Pentatonix is a diverse group in more ways than their skin color. They come from every walk of life. They represent all of us. They are friends who put this group together because they wanted to be together. I went to their concert last November and Scott said people talk about the instruments they play because they are supposed to be a a cappella group. Scott said that they play instruments because they can. They are a diverse group in more ways than one. Kevin is a master cello player. They should use the talents they were given. They make beautiful music and they give it to us. Thanks for the reaction

[@kkp0505]

Never ever stop complimenting someone for talent like this!! Positive love is what they are all about and this song is beyond amazing!

[@carolelatulippe2058]

Hello LFR....I have written to you before and this time I really had to respond to your reaction. I have watched this video with other reactors and you are the first I have seen to REALY understand what it was all about when they were passing the writing on those cardboards. You even mentioned before they were done that we are ALL human....right on Bro....I am a French Canadian from Ottawa, Canada. I totally respect your reaction. Many of the friends that I have had were from the LGBTQ + but, being 71, back then it was just called being "gay", anyway, I am a straight woman but have never had any qualms about someone's identity. I have always been open and free to all. Thank you for your diverse reaction. I am now a terminally ill woman and watching good reactions means a lot to me. Take care LFR and keep on doing what you do. Carole 👍👍😘

[@maryholmes5934]

Their voices are heavenly!

[@shaundagaffney8335]

I absolutely love your reactions ❤️ you have a wealth of knowledge and experience that you share with us in such a beautiful, positive way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You made my day brighter.

[@sersastark]

Kirstie Mitch and Scott were in choir in HS and Kevin was a church boy and Avi is an opera singer. They get it.

[@lisab4109]

Loved your reaction. (Cracking up & remembering church bell choir. 😂) No words for the feeling when their harmony just gels.

[@Heydoesanybodywannalaugh]

Love this reaction! I was always under the impression that the “bell tones” were the classic a cappella tool used to emulate rhythm, absent a rhythm section. I guess Lennon, in the original Imagine, used the right hand piano chords to push the tempo. Beautiful cover.

[@jvan71w]

I just found your channel tonight and have really enjoyed your reactions to Pentatonix. I'm only about 2.5 minutes into this one, but you mention the Christmas bell sounds. I think you should REALLY check out their Carol of the Bells song!

[@TheDivayenta]

By JohnLennon- including that triplet you love in it. ☺️

[@laureltaylor4535]

This is absolutely beautiful. Simple yet Stunning.

[@heidifruchtl354]

PTX just broke another reactor! In less than a minute. PTX is famous for their wall of sound.

[@jessetorres8738]

Scott looks like Peter/Star Lord from the new Guardians Of The Galaxy game.

[@charisma1303]

Scott, Mitch and Kirstie met in high school choir. Avi is a classically trained basso profundo (the lowest and rarest male voice type)… So yeah. They’ve had a lot of choir/group practice over the years. Lol

[@theresarigio5627]

Loved your take on this! They are so diverse but in the end we are all human beings! Beautiful reaction!,💕💕

[@brendagross6695]

Wowwww!!! Absolutely love this!!! Outstanding!

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

HUMAN ❤️

[@kathieholland4176]

The thought of when they started out with the Sing Off of how well they had done, It is Amazing that they hadn't come together until just a few days before they had to perform. Kevin and Avi not really even done anything with the group. They had just been picked to sing with them because they needed five people. When they sing that first song on The Sing-Off they blew their own minds. They came Out Swinging and found that they had assembled all the right people. They could not have done any better with any other individuals at that time of their life. They had struck gold in the middle of nowhere. It was as if they had been with each other all their life.

[@domagojbatinic1526]

check out their Sing off performances to see how they started and developed to what they are today

[@ginahoffsteder2181]

Scott .....soulful voice for sure 🔥

[@bonnieflynn4798]

They bring me light and hope and joy. To those who try to divide us this is a reminder that we need to love and respect each other . They live it everyday

Son, I find you cute as heck, my mother is from Ghana and worship is a religion. Christmas is a day in church where singing is much of the day. Music and dance are a mainstay of culture, som6ou know how hard and special these kind of voices are....God given and approved!

Ah you can’t worry about these kids’ & their way of thinking 😂 Our generation isn’t afraid to say what we think. He’ll get there! In time!

[@terrimoseley8650]

To hear Scott really riff watch their journey on THE SING OFF. It's been so long since I've seen it I can't remember the specific songs but he goes off. Even if you don't react to it it's well worth your time. They just met Avi and Kevin the week they auditioned and it is amazing how they clicked and how good they were LIVE from the git-go. My favorite one was Dog Days Are Over. I think that was the last week. They were definately in it to win it!

[@diannecardenas9866]

Scott's favorite music is R&B. And thanks for your reaction.
