Music Teacher Reacts: MITCH GRASSI - Your Power (BE Cover)

[@chelliespider]

I heard that Mitch actually played the piano himself, arranged it, and mixed it. He's trying to expand his abilities. He's so talented 😊🎶❤

[@socklee2907]

He did!! He’s been playing the piano since he was a kid ❤️❤️❤️

[@klayers1555]

Really cool to know - kills me, he’s already so talented I didn’t think I could love him more….like all of them. Thanks!

[@heinz57channel39]

Master one thing you get bored.

[@keddiewye6517]

Mitch did all of the musical accompaniment for this himself. This is the first solo video he has given us in over 7 years and I describe it as hauntingly beautiful. I hope he gives us more. He is such a talented artist!

[@arjones0819]

Mitch is one of the best vocalists I have ever heard.

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Total understatement!💜

[@heidifruchtl354]

I saw this and read a bunch of comments on the original drop. One woman said that watching Mitch singing this helped her decide not to commit suicide. What she was saying was heart breaking, but how others reached out to her was also very joyous. That Mitch was, in a way, a life saver, and that complete strangers were reaching out to help, was life affirming. Music is one of those things that is transcendual and magical.

[@jenniferherring1837]

Heidi - I saw the same comment and thought the same thing.

OK, I am weeping now!

[@susanb4213]

Wow, that is just awesome. Can you imagine finding out something you did caused a suicidal person to change their mind????

[@mossman15]

Mitch has regularly been my reason for living, so I definitely relate to this

[@alynkuster5138]

This is the kind of "noisy" neighbor I would like to have.

[@lauriedaiken4426]

Can you even imagine opening your window and hearing that?! How lucky!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

OMG - to have Mitch as a neighbor at all would be awesome! But to have him serenading the locals like this- I would never leave my property in case I might miss a performance!!!

[@Amyduckie]

Yes! Had a neighbour with a baby grand who liked to play it with the doors open. It was absolutely delightful.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Lol did you see the thing where Scott was asked about the neighbour who recorded & uploaded him singing from her balcony or window (you can't see him, but you definitely hear him)? He'd apparently been belting out the same line over and over to get it right and/or commit it to memory. He said something like he was grateful she chose a version where he sounded good. I cannot imagine what it might be like being their neighbour, I imagine both amazing and frustrating in equal measures at times.

[@debbievoss6389]

Me too Can you even imagine hearing Mitch sing from a roof

[@dr.hdenisewootenpsyd6896]

Mitch is singing this in a hauntingly poignant way; it is so lyrical.

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

That’s a great way to describe it. There was something about it that I could not figure out.... it was making me very introspective.

[@dianewrixon4395]

Recently saw someone say if heaven’s violins became human voices, they would sound like Mitch Grassi.

[@lynn2574]

So beautiful! Mitch did the vocal tracks, played the piano, sang, AND mixed it himself! And he was standing and singing on his roof. 😁

I mean, if there's one thing we should be thankful to 'rona for it's that it brought us this (and PTX's new original music).

I am totally in love with his voice. He is so talented. I'm lost for words. Beautifully emotional song.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

Mitch's talent... although that word never seems big enough... is truly breathtaking. It's like he's not even intentionally making specific vocal choices, it's just the way it comes out. So effortless, so real, so perfect.

[@russellalmand1797]

Effortless is the right word! I have no clue how Mitch has such vocal control and skill to craft a vocal line the way he does. Love anything and everything Mitch! Great hearing your perspective on the backing tracks!

[@Karen-Campos]

Mitch sings from a deep place in his soul with listeners drawn in close and captivated by every line. This cover has a beautiful melody with meaningful lyrics which suit him so well. When a person exerts power over another in a relationship, it can quite literally squeeze the life out of them! Billie calls out the excuses too. Profound issue confrontation with the lightest vocals. In his description box (which Mitch wrote) it says he & his friend Austin did it all. Talent.

[@stevek7699]

Hard agree.

[@elizabethjohnson6386]

I love seeing interviews where the other members admit that if they ever lose their place, they stop and listen to Mitch to find where they need to be because she's ALWAYS on point

[@deborahdoesscrap]

I watched another person's video reaction for the song The Prayer, and in the comments a music instructor from a prestigious music school, directed the researcher to go to a specific time in the video and he points out that Scott is holding a note and he is actually a little flat of the note. When Mitch comes in, he comes in exactly on the note. He said it is very hard to do when someone else is a little off. Your natural tendency is to come in where they are but Mitch just nailed it right on the note. He has the most beautiful tone to his voice and something inside me is touched every time I hear him sing. Doesn't matter what. I feel so blessed to be living to hear him perform.

[@perfectkismet]

Mitch has done some livestreams fairly recently where he talked about expanding his knowledge during the pandemic. He said he felt like a lot of it is stuff he should have paid attention to before, but better late than never. Having to set up the videos and track recording for PTX for himself - all the other members have significant others they are locked down with that lend a hand - really jumpstarted it for him. But, yeah, now he's experimenting with doing the mixing and whatnot himself... and this is our result.

[@IronBruhh]

Mitch makes it look so easy.. Such a beautiful human being.

[@kayecastleman6353]

Great reaction, as always. It was moving to see you get lost in the emotion of the song. Pentatonix as a whole has always had that ability to draw us in, lift us up, shake us to the core, and then release us, changed in some inexplicable way. So cool to see Mitch do it solo... and to catch you, the technical analyst, in his net. Thanks for this.

[@lauriedaiken4426]

Ethereal, haunting, mesmerizing...those are all the words I have.

[@joelledecker6742]

This is reminiscent of his Graveyard cover. It’s so haunting.

I love hearing your comments. This song was done so beautifully. It can't be said enough. His voice is incredible.

[@kbbeers4274]

We already know we are to be ready for this however, we never are truly prepared. I found myself closing my eyes and going on a Mitch journey. I don’t know how he did it either. It just naturally took place. I another level of respect (who thought it could go higher than the top right?) with Mitch having his hands on multiple levels. The desire to continue to grown and learn is life. ♥️

[@Kat_C95]

I have a playlist called „haunting sh*t that f*cks me the f*ck up“. It currently consists of this cover and Amy Lee from Evanescence singing Death Cab‘s „I will follow you into the dark“ while playing a Hello Kitty toy keyboard. No, this comment is not a joke.

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

Mitch made the track. I know he did the piano and I assume he did the rest too. He's be arranging covers (with PTX and Superfruit) for 10nyears now.

[@vidsorama2]

just a technical comment, because i just am speechless at the beauty of this: i love his (and all PTX) enunciation - his last /dz/ of the last word 'strange' is so marvellously *there* without being obtrusive!

Mitch is everything. He is so great at getting emotions across. I know that's an understatement but I love it!!

Hi there is john from Birmingham England you might remember me from my e-mail to you months ago. i totally agree with you about it is hard to comment initially to his beautiful angelic voice and song. My own response is the lyrical content obviously to me it is about an older person mentally and perhaps physically abusing a minor a very important song to bring this topic to the fore

His voice is crystal clear and his control. What a beautiful song and quite frankly, Billie has great songs as long as other people sing them, they are wonderful. Her non-voice is so irritating. She cannot get close to singing like Mitch or anyone else. Thank you for your reaction.

Listening to it, I don’t have the music knowledge you do, but one thing that is really apparent to me is how intrinsic his skills are. It feels so natural and seamless.

I didn't know the song so I listed to the original first. Both are simple and haunting and beautiful. The original backing is simply acoustic guitar(s?). the first thing I noticed with Mitch's cover was that it was piano instead. Both work great.

As SOON as mitch opens his mouth I get chills lol

[@capt.phineas2364]

Hey DJ, another solid reaction. Sometimes we just have to be reflective. It's so easy to jump into teacher mode. It was a haunting song that I think makes us all want to take a moment. I myself don't have the kind of regard that he or Pentatonix or Billie has for that matter, but it shows how sometimes our talents propel us into places and whether intentional or not, we are different. I can appreciate your perspective musically, but I appreciate more so your willingness to just listen introspectively. Only makes me respect you more DJ. Be well my friend.

[@beverlykrebs4372]

Very well said! I totally agree!

Lets start with singing on the rooftop. In this particular case I'll bet no neighbors called the police with a noise complaint! "Oh, oh, Janet, the strange guy in unit 17 is stringing up the microphone again. This time he's on the roof instead of in the tree." "Really? I've got popcorn. Go get the kids so we can go listen!" "If we've got to have weird neighbors at least they should sing like the elves of Middle Earth." "Yeah, it could have been bikers." "Yeah, at least he never forgets his pants."

[@ruddock308]

Thank you sooo much for reacting to this. Yes Mitch did the music and mixing. Another reactor predicted he will leave PTX and go solo by the end of the year..... while I think this is a stretch.... if one of them were going to break off and truly go solo, I think Mitch would have the best chance of success with it. I’d be so torn!!! I love him with PTX.... but his vocals are my favorite of ANYBODY.... not just PTX. Thoughts on this???

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Interesting..... while I would also be hesitant to think so, this pandemic has really change the way that artists make their content and art. In this case I could see Mitch opting for a solo career because of the ease of creating the content. I hope not, but if he does then I also wish him the best of luck. He’s very talented and deserves nothing but the best :)

[@ruddock308]

Also wondering....... I know PTX moved on without Avi, and found a great person to fill those shoes..... could they recover without Mitch? I truly don’t know!

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

No one ever does. This year we have seen some long time artists leave their groups and we’re anxious to see if they can move forward.... it’s stressful haha

[@ruddock308]

Even tho I think Mitch is one of a kind... I’m sure they could find someone who can harmonize AND sing lead when needed.... but his personality and charisma make up sooo much of it as well!!! There’s only one Mitch with all those boxes checked in my opinion. I just don’t think they could recover from that, but that’s just my opinion. All that said... I don’t see him leaving, but I guess we’ll see won’t we!!! Lol!!!😊. (Ps.... going to join your patreon at the end of the month (26th) when my check comes in..... I like your channel and what you do that much! I only support one other channel but it has nothing to do with music.they help find missing people for loved ones and they do it out of pocket, mainly water searchers (they’re divers) so you will be my second and last!!!! Thank you for what you do! I love your reactions!!!!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

I would cry a river of tears, but he deserves to do what makes him happy in life. I have no doubt that he would be successful. Ptx would go foreward, I think, & even find a new member. But Mitch can't be replaced! I am sure they would choose someone insanely talented though, who could successfully sing the parts that Mitch sang. I just know I would NOT want to be the new guy trying to fill those shoes!! You also have to consider the idea that they are all talented enough to go into solo careers, so if he left they may decide it is time to do that. God forbid. I am now gonna have anxiety about this! Lol!!
