Reaction to Pentatonix - Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Metal Guy Reacts

[@vanessa4u4evr]

This group is exquisite. That's what sets them apart from the others. They have a down to earth elegance without appearing uppity that sets them apart.

[@ladyshar42]

New Rules x Are you that somebody is great for Matt and Kevin, and Scott. its amazing. Havana is also really good.

[@marymichele340]

I love how PTX makes songs their own. I really appreciate the respect you give Matt. He really does an amazing job. Superfruit is a group Mitch and Scott formed in conjunction with PTX. They did a cover of Katy Perry’s RISE that is amazing Catch you next time!

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

Rise is so powerful!

[@mzpbnj8812]

I don't know how many times I've seen it, but I never get tired of seeing the Mitch face!

[@callalily9842]

Yayyyyyy. I'm so happy that you reacted to this one. It's one of my favs. I can't get enough of Matt and Mitch with those notes. I think the arrangement is one of their best. I mean 3 key changes and those harmonies. 🤯🤯 Another great reaction! If you want to be blown away by Matt & Kevin, I highly recommend checking out their New Rules x Are You That Somebody mash-up. The two of them murder the beats on that track. It's my absolute favorite. I think you'd love it.

[@kristinhowk8231]

Matt joined PTX on a trial basis (“for the holiday season”, which included a music video, a TV Christmas special and a month-long Christmas tour) in October 2017. He became a permanent member in early 2018, after both the band and the fans reacted positively to him.

[@PurpleWillowArts]

I love Matt. His bass really gets you. I have loved PTX for quite some time now, and they always impress me. They are so dang good!!!!!! ✌🏻❤️🤘🏻

[@lauriep2018]

THANK YOU for mentioning Matt! He’s such ah amazing bass. Everyone just compares him to Avi- but they’re totally different sounds. And honestly, sometimes I think Matt is a better fit for PTX’s more pop-ish covers.

[@kayecastleman6353]

I totally agree with you, Laurie. My heart belongs to Avi, but in many ways Matt is a better fit for the group. I think Avi helped to develop the scope of PTX with his classical expertise (and phenomenal voice, of course). Matt makes the group feel more cohesive. And on top of his velvet voice, who can resist that impish grin???

[@mmg8823]

@@kayecastleman6353 I agree. Matt and his impish grin fit in well with the often goofy energy of the rest of them.

[@EhrineAshbark]

I love how they dressed as the characters from the film. Kirstin and Kevin are Nala and Simba, Mitch is Zazu, while Scott and Matt are Timon and Pumbaa

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Paul..you are awesome! I’m going to be honest. I totally missed it until you pointed it out. Amazing attention to detail!!

[@EhrineAshbark]

I'm not going to claim to be smart. Someone pointed it out elsewhere and I just like to pass it on as it's a cool tidbit :)

[@carolscott1686]

I think you might like one of their original songs, Love Again. Also, check out a song they did with Lindsey Sterling, Radioactive. Kevin "cello boxes" in that one.

[@Karen-Campos]

The modulations here! Three! Perfectly transitioned! Getting their Broadway voices warmed up!! If you wanna hear Kirstin go high, checkout Seasons of Love audio only from their latest Christmas album.

[@cailin1375]

I agree with other commenters; you definitely need to watch the live Aha! in Singapore! Anyone that loves Mitch (aka everyone) will enjoy that performance. It's honestly mind blowing!

[@judydempsey3957]

There are three octaves changes......It sets Mitch up to slap you in the face with out blinking....Great reaction.Keep it up. Mad world,Sing ( which is an original), Happy Now also an original by Kristy,....Judy D

I just love Matt's bass, and it integrates so well with the rest of the harmonies. I could listen to it through again just listening to Matt.

[@vidsorama2]

Great reaction. Thank you. I love this Pentatonix cover and video. I love Matt and appreciate your remarks about him and his skills. I look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions. FYI: Pentatonix will perform new original song "Love Me When I Don't" on Kelly Clarkson's show Friday, 3-26-21.

[@bingobillable]

Thanks for the heads up on their performance later today on The Kelly Clarkson Show. I don't normally watch daytime TV, but I found your comment early enough to set it up to record.

[@dawncochrane1898]

Another great reaction! Pentatonix are so good, they just blow me away. Have you reacted to Mary did you know yet? One of my favorites! I think it would be fun to set up a booth somewhere (Street fair, what have you) where people put on headphones and listen to a Pentatonix song, and they could win money if they could get through the song without getting GOOSEBUMPS! THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE TO PAY OUT A DIME!!! :) THESE PEOPLE ARE AMAZING! FULL STOP!!

[@noelpauley5381]

Say Something is amazing! 😆

[@bettyf584]

I’m so glad you reacted to this!! Some others you should consider reacting to from PTX are: “Can’t Hold Us” “Shallow” “Mad World” “Sing” - one of their originals “Love Again” - one of their originals “Aha - Live Singapore The Star Vista” - prepare yourself for this one though! Also known as the “where’s Kevin?” Song. Kevin is putting his cello away at the beginning of the song and the person recording on their phone does not pan to him when he returns, but he is there!

[@toddlesred-fox1271]

I agree with Petty Aha live in Singapore Starvista Mich gets in the Zone Avi zeros the speakers during intro to the song. A must PTX Reaction...

[@kaseycurtis468]

I love how we Pentaholics always put that disclaimer in there when suggesting ‘Aha!’ Petition to rename it the ‘Where’s Kevin?’ song though cause that’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@amilybarger141]

I love this video so much because it's a great song that REALLY shows Mitch's awesome range with his voice!!! I'm a HUGE Mitch fan!!!

[@lisa2725_]

also please react to mitch and scott's side channel called Superfruit. They do some funny stuff on there but also music. Listen to their song Guy.EXE it's Mitch thats like a mad scientist trying to create the perfect guy (scott).

[@mmg8823]

Before you watch Aha Singapore - The Star Vista, I recommend watching their live stream version of it so you can hear how it was rehearsed and see what they are doing. Yes, Kevin is there. You can hear him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqOWc2ygZ7x5Zs0

[@xiledpoisonh3idi315]

I recommend this song but it is great to do a double of the official video which is great for it being an early and uniquely shot video for ptx as well as letting you hear how the song was originally sung and the live as it is one of the most epic live recordings of theirs and is sung a bit differently than the original.

[@carlievickers374]

I love that Avi blew the speakers in this performance

He is missed by all music lovers and a loss of John on a personal level. He was a good friend. Please play it. You will not be disappointed.

[@ritathomas5167]

I think we were all sorry to see Avi leave Pentatonix, but Matt has truly proven what an excellent vocalist he is! This is one of my favorite Matt songs. He is truly a MASTER of the bass slide - where he slides effortlessly down an octave or so on the same note - maintaining absolute perfect pitch all the while! I have heard Mitch do the same thing in a much higher octave - also truly amazing - but to me there is something about that low bass that just really gets to me! Let's just face it - they are ALL wonderfully talented singers!

[@janniestenskjr1093]

Love their cover of Mad World 😁

[@dereksmith4509]

Mitch was ludicrously sick on this one. If you want to hear the best technical piece (in my opinion) from Pentatonix, check out the Aha! Imogen Heap cover. Unbelievable arrangement, unbelievable performance from an acapella group.

[@shortylane5035]

Love Pentatonix. I saw them live in Australia last year. If you like Kevin the beat boxer search for him playing the cello and beat boxing at the same time. It was out of this world live.

[@lexymich3647]

Matt LITERALLY sounds like a bass guitar in the new song which is in my opinion is the best song on the new the lucky ones album. It's called "Never Gonna cry again." Mitch wrote it and leads it. But if you aren't careful you will think there is a bass guitar in it.

[@ptxlover6878]

You're so right, Never gonna cry again is mindblowing and Mitch and Matt are killin' it! 👍🤩

Matt came aboard as an interim replacement for Avi during the 2017 Christmas tour, then joined permanently in March 2018, so he's now been in the group for three full years.

One to check out if you'd like to see a Kirstie featured song is "Be My Eyes", for a while that was my favorite PTX song.

[@melissiadalejones-smith1855]

If you like the Acapella. Avi (while he was still in Pentatonix) performed with Home Free in a video called "Ring of Fire". They won The Sing-Off the year after Pentatonix won!

[@kegginstructure]

For what it is worth, though they do some of their own arrangements, Ben Bram generally makes sure that they don't botch anything. He has been their arranger almost from the beginning.

[@joebarnhart4460]

The release was timed for the release of the remake of the movie.

You should definitely react to Superfruit. You've done a couple of theirs, but they did Katy Perry's Rise, and it is friggin amazing!!!!! It has Brian Justin Crum from America's Got Talent as well as a couple other singers.

You gotta check out their 12 Days of Christmas video!

[@jameshunt2905]

You might be just the man to ask about this...... Setup... Okay with PTX its very clear that the space between the voices is also well attended to. Question: can you speak to how this is done on the part of the performers and then the aspect that is engineering, mic-wise and on to the arrangement/ production..... ?

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Hey James! Thank you so much for the comment. I would love to talk more about the recording setups they use 🤘🏼 From what I’ve read their recording setup is pretty straightforward! Which shows how awesome they are! In my first video of theirs I reacted to, Hallelujah, I mentioned that the compression was a little high for my taste. Just an observation, but I unintentionally offended many of their fans 🥺 I got maybe a hundred or so comments saying that they use no compression or any effects of any kind. Now I’m a bit worried to make comments about the recording process. I intended no offense, compression is probably one of the most common tools used in the studio but people got pretty upset. Any idea why a number of Pentatonix fans responded this way? Thanks again James!!

[@Fairplayer43]

They are on league of there own my friend. Reason why you can not compare them with any other group.

[@donaldparlettjr3295]

I call it being "Pentacized". They just transform songs.

[@jennifermolina4396]

This is my favorite by them so far. The beat boxer does an amazing job on this one. And I love Elton Johns version, but this one may beat it out. It’s beautiful.

i EXTREMELY recommend listening to the band Palaye Royale they are super underrated but they have some of the best rock/indie rock music ive ever heard. Their a band of 3 actual brothers and their music is usually very story based and heartfelt , I recommend starting with the songs "Loney" "Anxiety" "Mr. Dr. Man" And "Dying In A Hot Tub". The song Lonely is based off of the bands singers experience with suicidal thoughts after getting abused by their father and their father leaving them when he was younger!
