@@cassandrasherwood5759 Yep, Grammy Awards (short for Gramophone Awards) are for music, Emmy's are for TV and the Academy Awards (Oscars) are for Film/Movies. Their first Grammy was for their Arrangement in their 'Daft Punk Medley' , their second for 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' and their third was not for arrangement but for actual Performance as Best Country Duo or Group with Dolly Parton for 'Jolene'.

A brief introduction to Pentatonix (aka PTX): A five member acapella (no instrument) group. They sing covers of pop songs and have several Christmas albums in their catalog. They've also put out two albums of original material, one just released February 12, 2021 (The Lucky Ones). The original five band members were Scott, Kirstin (Kirstie), Mitch, Kevin and Avi. Scott, Kirstin and Mitch knew each other from high school in Arlington, Texas. They formed the group in 2011, adding Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer). They auditioned, competed and won season 3 of the television show The Sing-Off. They've also won multiple awards over the years including three Grammys. While viewing PTX videos spanning a decade, it may appear that there has been several personel changes due to their ever-changing appearances, Kirstin and Mitch in particular. The fact is; only one member has changed. Of the five original members, four are still in the group. Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced with Matt. While acappella since forming the group, they occasionally introduce instruments such as piano (played by Scott) and cello (played by Kevin). They've also included vocals and instrumentals played by featured guests. Most of their 'instrumental' sounds however, are created by Kevin, their very talented beatboxer along with baselines performed by Avi, Matt and Scott. While performing together as a five-member group, they also have individual works worth investigating. There's so much more information 'Penta-holics' can add to this list. Just ask and they will respond. Enjoy!

[@jamescurfman3284]

No instruments FOR THE MOST PART. They HAVE performed with Kevin's Cello and they have collaborated with at least one person who used an instrument (Lindsey Stirling; there may be others as well). But it is VERY RARE that any instrument is used besides their own voices or bodies.

[@janhankins911]

Kevin (beat boxer) gave up a promising career as a concert cellist to beat box for Pentatonix. Cello's loss is Pentatonix fan's gain.

[@vickipeterson9633]

Congratulations on discovering the best a Capella group ever. Its never too late. Excellent reaction. This band is just out of this world talented and everything they do is brilliant. They are musical geniuses. The entire band met right before a televised singing competition in 2011 called the Sing Off. The tall blonde baritone is Scott Hoying, the mezzo soprano is Kirsten (Kirstie) Maldonado and the counter tenor (lead in this one) is Mitch Grassi. The three of them grew up together in Texas. Right before the singing competition they met the man with the beard who is a basso profundo through reputation and friends. His name is Avi (pronounced Aahh Vee) Kaplan. He is my personal favorite. His warm lows are not only the foundation but when he sings he lends an emotion like no other. Quickly after that they found the beatboxer/cello player (cello boxer) on youtube. He was preparing for premed at Yale but felt this was his calling instead. They competed on season 3 of the Sing Off and won. They were given a contract with Sony but shortly after Sony dropped them(I'm sure Sony regretted that for a long time). They began performing on youtube and received another contract. Things took off from there and they are a huge success. Please listen to Hallelujah. It has over 615 million views. This band does not focus on one soloist/lead. They each have their moments to shine and they support one another 100%. Not one ego over another. They are so diverse and yet when they combine their voices the harmonies are beautiful beyond belief. Avi left the band late 2017 due to a family medical matter and personal reasons. He left on good terms and they are friends today. Avi helped the band find his replacement and now has a sensational solo career. They have 3 Grammy wins from their earlier years with Avi. The first win is Daft Punk, the second is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the third from a collaboration with Dolly Pardon of Jolene. Again, would suggest reacting to Hallelujah, Imagine, Rather be, Love Again(original written by Avi and Kevin), Say Something and so many more. Thank you for this reaction. Hope you will continue down the rabbit hole of Pentatonix. The PTX fans, call themselves the Pentaholics, are amazing and will support you all the way. Have fun!!! :)

[@larrywt656]

Actually, Kevin had already graduated pre-med from Yale when he met the group. He was planning to go to the Berklee School of Music in Boston to earn a master's degree in music, then on to medical school after that. And it was actually Sony that re-signed them eight months after initially dropping them. 18 months after that, they bumped them up from the small Madison Gate label to the major RCA label after Daft Punk won them their first Grammy and became a world-wide smash hit. Avi was involved in the early audition process for finding his replacement, but he had actually departed before Matt was signed to the group. And, unfortunately, his departure from the group wasn't quite as amicable as many have made it out to be after the lawyers got involved. He and Kevin remain close friends (Avi was part of Kevin's wedding), but he is no longer in contact with any of the other group members.

I have been checking back every so often to see if you have covered another Pentatonix. Please review one of their other songs. Please! Your Mom is so cute💕

[@Tammy-km5uf]

Any song you choose from them is fantastic. They each take lead in various songs and others they all sing equal parts. All of their vocal ranges are phenomenal. Mitch (the one who sang lead on this one) has a 6 octave range. He is a true counter tenor. Scott the blond is a baritone, but can sing in the tenor range and also covers the bass when the base singer is soloing. Kirstie( rhymes with thirsty) is the female member. She is a mezzo soprano. Kevin is the beat boxer. He also plays the cello while beat boxing. He is a tenor. Avi the bass is actually a trained basso profondo.

[@kennaisabell]

They have done so much music to suit all different genres and tastes!! Their names are Kirstie (the girl), Mitch (the guy who had the high voice), Scott (the tall blonde), Kevin (the beatboxer) and Avi (the bass)! As of now, Avi is not apart of the group and has been “replaced” by Matt! They formed in 2011 and started on The Sing Offs! Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch met in high school and are called the trio by the fans because they were found by people due to performing Telephone in high school! They started in Arlington, Texas then all moved out to LA together to do the sing offs. Avi left in 2017 and that winter Matt came in. Kevin is the only one married and now has a baby girl! There’s so much to learn but this is just the basics!

They formed in 2011 for a TV show competition called, "the Sing Off" which they won. Three of them grew up together in Texas and sang together a lot. For the competition they recruited a Bass singer and a beat boxer... and the rest is history. Try Any Christmas song you can think of ; "Mary Did You Know" is my favorite that they do.

Wow! The most unique reaction style I've ever seen! Pentatonix (also referred to as PTX, by their fans - who call themselves 'Pentaholics'.) has been around since 2011, after winning the 3rd season of 'The Sing-Off'. They've won (so far) three Grammys. When listening, keep in mind that whenever you *think* you hear instruments ... it's actually *them!* The only exception would be on those rare occasions when their 'beat-boxer' [he supplies 90+% of the percussion you hear] Kevin O. (also a master cellist) brings in his cello for a piece! To blow your mind once again, check out their cover of "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies" ... and keep in mind that you'll be experiencing an *instrumental piece* of music, performed by a voice-only group, *without any instruments!* 😳 ‼ Other performances by them to look forward to experiencing: Hallelujah Sound Of Silence Amazing Grace 90s Dance Medley Mary Did You Know? Say Something [tissues recommended] Thank You [again, have tissues] Do You Feel The Love Tonight? ... *Enjoy!*

They are very close and have side projects and solo endeavors of their own, always putting Pentatonix first.

[@rodhoad1858]

I saw someone comment about Pentatonix that is a beautiful thing to see the birth of some new Pentaholics and this certainly suits to two ladies

[@connix69]

Yes, they are an a capella group. All instrument sounds you hear are their voices. Their name Pentatonix is a riff on the musical pentatonic scale. They changed the c to an x and there are 5 members, which fits the penta in pentatonic(x) scale. The members in this are: Mitch, countertenor, main lead in this song and first solo; Scott, baritone, tall blond; Kirstin or Kirstie, mezzo soprano, the girl; (those 3 grew up in Texas and attended school and choir together from around the age of 10 and often referred to as the trio); Kevin, beatboxer and tenor, also massively talented in many other areas; and Avi, bass, guy with the beard. Avi left the group at the end of 2017 amicably and was replaced by Matt. You will see Matt in later videos. The other 4 members have remained the same. The group got their start on an American reality competition show for a capella groups. They entered and WON the 3rd season of the show called The Sing-off. This group is widely considered the best acapella group in the world and they have really changed how a capella is viewed now. They have not done a single song/video that is anything less than great. Often their covers exceed the originals. Pick anything to react and you will likely not be disappointed. Welcome to the very deep rabbit hole of discovering Pentatonix. Us fans are called Pentaholics. Some of my favorite recommendations are: Imagine, Sound of Silence, Hallelujah, Daft Punk (they won their 1st Grammy for this), Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd Grammy), Jolene feat. Dolly Parton (3rd Grammy), Sing, Come Along, Say Something, plus so many songs from their Christmas albums. They also have a lot of originals to peruse. They have literally hundreds of songs and videos to choose. Enjoy the journey!

[@Jskew]

Also, I recommend reacting to their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. Great live performances, back story on the group and no real copyright worries. J.

Otherwise a few must see videos are covers Hallelujah, Imagine, Can't Help Falling in Love, Problem, Gold, No, Can't Hold Us. Originals Can't Sleep Love, Sing, Love Again, Light in the Hallway, Run to You, Standing By. And of course any of the Christmas music.

[@HiHello-ro5bb]

Yes! Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Literally any song they cover or any of their originals are amazing!! They even have their own side channels! Here is a bit of information about them. The one taking the lead is Mitch and he is a counter tenor. The blond one is Scott and he is a baritone. The female is Kirstin and she is a mezzo soprano. The three of them met in Arlington Texas and were best friends since they were young. They met in musical theater. The beatboxer is Kevin and the bass is Avi. Many people call them the meat and potatoes of the group after a judge from The Sing-Off called them this. And what’s surprising is that the trio and Avi and Kevin met the day before they had to preform fro the sing-off. Which they won!! Also if you check out the PTXperience you can also learn more about their personalities and how tour is like. would recommend every song because they are amazing! Loved this reaction 😊

[@HiHello-ro5bb]

The part that said musical theater reminded me of that one superfruit video...

[@leechowning2712]

I dare say you will notice that Pentatonix has a very large fan base, including myself, who will appear on any reaction done to talk about the group, the other two groups that are in the same field, and this class of music by itself. I would honestly say it is not acapella, because they change what acapella is so dramatically. Compared to classical style of acapella... The barbershop quartets or the large choirs... These are a totally new music. And we love them very very much. As you watch their other shows you will see that overtime they have become more polished, this video was from their first year more or less working independently. Their most recent works include much greater graphical style and equipment as well as much more practice as a group. But every single one of their videos are worth watching. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

[@farsthchi]

Scott (the tall blond); Mitch (short brown haired guy), and Kirsten sang together in high school in Texas, they found Kevin(the beat boxer) on line, playing the cello and beat boxing. Avi( with a beard they found through the grapevine I think, and when he decided to go solo he helped them find Matt. The original 5 got together for a tv talent show for acappella groups, The Sing Off, and won season 3 in 2011.

A really good one to see Mitch's talent (the guy in the middle with the high voice) is Aha! Live in Singapore

And see Avi blow out a speaker....

Pentatonix has covered The Prayer in December of 2021 I think you Ladies would really enjoy it !!

[@nycmate]

I love your dynamic together, and the fact that you've just now poked your heads into the PTX rabbit hole! Can't WAIT to see you react to more of their incredibly deep catalog (mom: they do an "Evolution of Michael Jackson" that I suspect you'll adore). Can't go wrong with ANYTHING they've recorded, but some personal favorites are Hallelujah (over 600 million views!), Daft Punk, Imagine, Sound of Silence, and Say Something (a real treat: Kevin beatboxes AND plays cello aka Cello-boxing). One note, their record label is VERY active in terms of blocking content for copyright reasons. Two strategies I've seen succeed: pause every 30-45 seconds to comment (and be sure to rewind about five seconds so you don't miss anything when you resume!) and/or put a transparent overlay of some image over the video itself. Either way, the Pentaholics (who are sure to swarm your channel!) will not complain. We've seen the videos many times (and newbies can always visit PTXOfficial to watch them end to end) and we understand that some effort is needed to keep the reactions from being pulled. But don't let that daunt you. We're here for as much of PTX as you care to serve up!

Three-time GrammyAward-winning and multi-platinum-selling artist Pentatonix (presently comprised of Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee) . A freshman at The University of Southern California, Scott decided to audition for the show and enlisted childhood friends and fellow Arlington, Texas-natives Kirstie and Mitch. As a high school vocal trio, they had found success both locally and online thanks to their cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Determined to add depth and a distinctive dynamic to the group, Scott set out to add more vocalists, first adding Avi, who'd built himself a reputation as one of the most talented vocal basses in Southern California, and eventually took to KZbin where he found the video for "Julie-O," featuring Kevin's cello-boxing (simultaneously beatboxing and performing the song on his cello). Finally, a fully formed group, Pentatonix perfected their sound (and their chemistry) throughout the season, naturally developing a signature style and a knack for arranging songs that pulled equally from the five individuals' strengths. Despite drawing from a dizzyingly eclectic set of musical genres - the group cites pop, jazz, r&b, indie, folk, dubstep and electronica as just a few of their inspirations.

Pentatonix is a fantastic acapella group!! One of the best if not THE best!! Their Hallelujah cover is perfection and very moving!! Love their sound!! I'm asking you to react to an artist that is truly incredible and one of the best if not THE best female vocalist on this planet today!!! Her name is Morissette Amon. She just turned 25 y/o. She's from the Phillipines and she has a vocal range that compares to none. She's extremely humble; she sings effortlessly because she loves to sing. She becomes the song and is a beautiful "story teller" as she sings. She covers a lot of Broadway songs but she sings every genre of music there is; Pop, R&B, Broadway, Rap (not MY fave, however), Country, Christian music (I don't think I've left anything out). She does cover Bohemian Rhapsody and it shows she could easily sing opera, if she desired. Please react to this beautiful young lady. Morissette has a fan base that has grown exponentially since I first listened to her 3 years ago, on You Tube. So will your fan base, I promise, when her fans (myself included) find you're reacting to her!! I'll suggest, first, for you a song, done live, on the Wish Bus. Akin Ka Na Lang. This is in her native language and it's extraordinary. Most of her covers are in English. You won't regret listening and you WILL be astounded!! I'm 67 years old, American and she's my favorite singer in the world!! I know what beautiful voices sound like and she has a voice that is God given. Thank you for this reaction and I will look each day for you to react to Asia's Phoenix, Morissette Amon.

[@danielcarter837]

Your what we call 'Mitch face' was outstanding. It happens often when people really hear him for the first time. He did the guitar sounds. He only used the megaphone as a prop so you could see who was doing it. Pentaholics call it the Grassi Guitar. I heard them perform this live and it was epic. No megaphone needed and it sounded virtually the same. Pentatonix does not do songs that they cannot do the same way live so people know they can actually do it.

[@pattyst2945]

I AM BEGGING YOU TOO TO LISTEN TO PENTATONIX - HALLEJUHAH!!

[@kg4wwn]

Not usually my first recommendation, but since your Mother requested to know everything about them, you should react to them on "The Sing Off" the show where they got their start. It gives information about who they are, who they were, how they formed, and lets you see them while they were still trying to get big. (And they were already amazing!)

[@TravellingwithMother]

Will do! Thank you!

[@tauron17]

Pentatonix "Daft Punk Collection" "Cheerleader" "History of Music" "90's Dance medley" "Hallelujah" "Radioactive"w/Lindsey Stirling(plus Lindsey Stirling's Music, fun fun fun)

[@lindaosmon5224]

Kirstie, Mitch and Scott all went to school together and lived in Texas. They won the show the Sing Off in 2011 that is when Kevin the beatboxer joined them and Avi the bass.

[@LeskeyC001]

Welcome to PTX! I love nothing more than watching people discover the magic of PTX. So much more of their music for you to look forward to. Thanks for posting.

[@jamesevans2956]

You two are, how do you say, bloody brilliant. So fun and funny, and so spot-on and original in your reactions! I found you via Angelina and have so enjoyed your other videos! As for Penatonix, there from frickin’ Texas, believe it or not. While we Texans would benefit from a giant slice of humility, we actually have much to be proud of when it comes to music. Thank you so much for your refreshing, charming, and insightful reactions. Please continue even as the world returns to some semblance of “normal.” And, please, more Angelina ... and Pentatonix. Cheers!

[@smitch1558]

Hallelujah next (check the number of views). Your mom is delightful. 😊

[@spydergtcv1]

I thoroughly enjoyed you lovely ladles reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May of Queen was impressed and enjoyed their rendition. Their cover of Hallelujah is simply stunning and sound of silence by Simon and Garfunkel are absolutely amazing. Their original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, left the group in 2017 and was replaced by the equally talented Matt Sallee. Their covers of Daft Punk Medley and Dance of the Sugarplum fairy are Impressive and both won them Grammy awards. Please cover more Pentatonix! You will find Pentatonix fans will follow and subscribe to your channel. If you find that you have copyright blocks, you can place a transparent filter (falling snow perhaps) over the video as you play them and you will be less likely to be blocked. Also, you can appeal with KZbin and they may release any blocked reactions. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to this extremely talented group.

[@BUDSBEAU]

at least 2 of the members were on an episode of a show called "BONES" here in america. the little guy with the high voice and the blonde guy. they played acapella singers in college. they are amazing !!!

[@kristlea1]

PTX...Amazing grace, hallelujah, 90s dance medley.

[@4703857]

Welcome to the Pentaholics! Loved this reaction! Watch their Sing Off journey!

[@noelpauley5381]

Great reaction! Now all of us “Pentaholics” will flood your channel! 😂 More reactions please! You can’t go wrong with any of their music. They are all so talented! ❤️❤️

[@davidludwig1492]

The most brilliant reaction I've ever seen. Thank you, ladies.

[@patclifton9372]

Another fun Pentatonix is "The Wizard of AHHHS" a collaboration.

[@morgsc]

you should watch “beginners guide to pentatonix” it really goes through how they came about and helps you understand everything. Definitely react to “Sound of Silence,” “Hallelujah,” and “Dance of the sugar plum ferry.” ❤️❤️

[@Jskew]

This is a great video but it has A Lot of spoilers.

[@morgsc]

@@Jskew I mean- not really. It just brings you up to date. It’s not spoiling anything imo.

[@Jskew]

@@morgsc you don't think there's spoilers? I hope they see Havana on it's own before the summary. Much love J.

[@morgsc]

@@Jskew In my opinion, no. It honestly just shows that they won the sing off, which grammys they won, when avi left, etc. That’s just my opinion though :)

[@tamarasmith9060]

Yes, welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole, plus additional ones that branch off it because 1: Each member (6 total, because the original bass left a few years ago due to needing a break from their hectic pace because they got so busy) has solo stuff & collabs with others, a cappella & not. 2: Two of the members, Scott & Mitch, have a side group together that is not a capella, called Superfruit. They also have a separate KZbin channel with that name, where they did vlogs about their life to let fans know them better, funny stuff with & without guests, covers just for fun, & their videos for all their original songs which make up a 2-part album. (They haven't been active as a duo for a bit because Pentatonix got even busier with more & longer tours, they moved from being roomates to separate homes due to one getting serious with their boyfriend, then also they each had some solo projects going on between Pentatonix tours, then the pandemic hit. But it's likely they will put out more Superfruit content at some point.)

[@bunnyfufu9933]

I like this relationship where the daughter seems more sensible and the mom looking for fun 😂😂❤

[@uniquely_mo]

This was an amazing reaction! Absolutely loved it. Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. So many amazing songs and videos to react to - a few favourites are Hallelujah, Daft Punk Medley (their first Grammy), Imagine, and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (second Grammy, and they are literally the instruments!). There are so many to choose from though. Enjoy them all. Dude with the low voice (bass) is Avi Kaplan. He sadly had to leave PTX a few years ago due to personal reasons (missing his family too much, and the stress of the fast-paced lifestyle just being too much for him). He now records his own music and you should absolutely react to his songs too - his voice is unbelievable. He was replaced by Matt, who is also a wonderful singer, and he’s fitted in really well with the others. They are all incredible though

[@tomboscarillo3681]

This is probably my favorite reaction ever to one of their videos (and I've watched hundreds of them)! I still get chills hearing them perform. Check out Hallelujah when you get a chance, I can't wait to see your Mother's face while watching it! Thank you for the entertainment.

[@ChronicallyMimi]

OMG! The mom is my favorite. Just like my mom after a cocktail lol!

[@bradhosick7231]

An endless list of must hears from this group!! Talent 2nd to none. I urge you to listen to Hallelujah and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Pure ear candy

[@devoncooper8296]

Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! There are so many you both will love!!! They are all good and worth the watch 🤩🤩 wonderful reaction! You two are fabulous!

[@jspres86]

Well, welcome down the rabbit hole! You'll love them. Little Drummer Boy next. it's their first major exposure. And it's beautiful.
