Music Teacher Reacts: PENTATONIX - Evolution of Michael Jackson

[@timcaldwell5241]

“The Mitch” …”music that only dogs can hear”…I love it!!!

[@louisaheaton4606]

The Mitch Layer. That’s a tee shirt, right there.

[@beccaHbell]

Yes, new Merch needed!!!!

[@taniareads8751]

The Mitch layer - yep, that's a shirt I'd buy!

[@chrive8934]

The Mitch Register. LOVE IT!

[@vidsorama2]

I'm very happy that you are back to Pentatonix and that we will have Tonix Tuesdays. Excellent idea. We'll be here. All of their Evolution Of... videos are amazing. My favorite is "Evolution Of Rihanna". They performed the Evolution Of... videos live on tours.

[@marijohnston4299]

My favorite is the Evolution of Music

[@lindafintling2042]

YES! I agree! Looking forward to these tuesdays 👏👏👏

[@kimsowles4044]

I'm always super zoned in on Avi 🤣❤ You should check out their cover of "No" Avi has some crazy long notes....

[@perfectkismet]

"No" is also done live in studio in the same vein as these Evolution of videos.

[@kbbeers4274]

Yaaaas to Noooo!! 😎

[@elizabethjohnson6386]

No is so good

[@michelle32855]

Avi is astonishing here. The segues are tough enough for the ones singing the lyrics, and they do (as always) a fantastic job. But for that bass line...to make those changes on the fly without the words to anchor it...just...wow!

[@heidifruchtl354]

All of the evolution videos are one takes. I had the pleasure of seeing them do the evolution of Rhianna live, before the video was released, in 2018

[@ellenhulslander2897]

For your own entertainment, you should watch them perform this at Popspring 2016. So good!

[@tersommers]

Yes! These four songs blew me out of the water! It's unreal how good they are live!

[@genevievelafrance8639]

They always do one of their Evolution of.... on tour. So They always doing these Evolutions live

[@ambeauty2001]

"And then there's the layer we call the Mitch" Me: (dr pepper out the nose) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Finderup16]

I would love to see your reaction to "The Wizards of Ahhhs".

[@lindabergstrom6650]

I am here for the Avi fan club.

[@kayecastleman6353]

PTX on Tuesdays... gotta be my new favourite day of the week! Thanks for joining us down the rabbit hole again. Always appreciate your insightful reactions. Especially enjoy the Avi references, since his subtle contributions are often passed over for the spectacular "Mitch layer!" See you next Tuesday!

[@thatsroughbuddy-]

Your Pentatonix reactions make me re-appreciate the intricacies and talent that group offers. I LOVE it. And also you're literally the only reactor I've seen who pointed out the way Kirstin sings the "miracle" part. It's so cool to see that because I was always obsessed with that part. Can't wait for more reactions.

[@thisdayisbananas]

all ptx fans know that you need to watch their videos a MINIMUM of 6 times- one to just watch it as is, and one to focus on each member.

[@Nonnie335]

Pretty cool you did the evolution of MJ just after his birthday!! You notice everything!!! You are so good at picking out the slight changes that I haven’t noticed. Then again I have watched this video countless times!

[@cioswrath8470]

That moment mitch hits that "the mitch zone" cracks me up everytime i see this, you made my day with this reaction

[@NicStryker1027]

Laughed so hard at you getting "mitch-slapped". 🤣

[@Lhun-ft6rl]

song order: 1. I want you back 2. ABC 3. I'll be there 4. Dancing Machine 5. Don't Stop till you get enough 6. Rock with you 7. Billie Jean 8. Beat it 9. Wanna be startin' somethin' 10. Human Nature 11. Thriller 12. I just can't stop lovin' you 13. Pretty Young thing (PYT) 14. Bad 15. The way you make me feel (Kevin solo) 16. Man in the mirror 17. Dirty Diana 18. Smooth Criminal 19. Black or White 20. Remember the time 21. You are not alone 22. Will you be there and little mash-up at the end

[@PT62]

Love your reactions and glad you're back to PTX reactions. Would love to see you do a reaction to their 4th of July performance on the PBS Special, A Capital Fourth, where they did "Seasons of Love" from "Rent". Kristie has been coming to the forefront lately and she really shines in this one. Thanks for all your hard work, waiting to see more.

[@ramonagetz2090]

I love Pentatonix. And I REALLY love that you explain to me why I love them so much

[@januzzell8631]

One of the most satisfying and funniest video I've ever seen is a rendition of the scale that is Mitch - from lowest to highest - funny - yes - for in his upper levels ('dog' pitch as you called it) he imitates a marker on a white board!! I kid you not ^*^ (PS - Sugar Plum Fairy for Tonix Tuesdays - Pretty Please?)

[@UserHorologium]

The evolution videos are all safe (I've never seen anyone ever blocked for reactions to the evolution videos in the 5 years I've followed them). All of their very early stuff is safe too (2011-2013). It wasn't until they won their first Grammy and signed with RCA that copyrights became an issue, but the evolution videos are all safe, regardless of when they came out

[@risperdude]

They do a mind blowing version of this on stage for PopSpring 2016 in Japan, one of the videos of it also includes a couple of their original songs, Can't Sleep Love and Water. would be an awesome Tonix Tuesday!

[@tammyhill3798]

Once again…Mitch 🤯 ❤ the Mitch layer…love it. 🥳

[@janispriest3067]

Yay!! Tonic Tuesday’s!!!

[@bettyf584]

I am SO EXCITED for Tonix Tuesday’s!!! I think you will very much appreciate their cover of Charlie Puth’s “Attention”…they do some crazy arrangements in that one! Also, their “Evolution of Rihanna” is a must see!

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

[@marcgarrett4401]

Thanks DJ and Juda for an awesome beginning to Tonix Tuesdays.

[@donnamiller6967]

if you do their popspring concert they do this live

[@kbbeers4274]

Squeee!! Back to PTX!! Thank you for sharing your time. ☮️

[@matador1108]

Another great reaction video from you! I always enjoy watching your reactions, especially when it comes to PTX. Plz consider doing a reaction about "Come all 'ye faithful" from' em.

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Christmas time is gonna be lit! Haha

[@susanpeterson9947]

I agree with you, matador1108, O Come All Ye Faithful-is going to Blow His Mind!

[@matador1108]

@@susanpeterson9947 definitely. After having heard their version of "a little drummer boy", I was more than surprised about the arrangement of "come all 'ye faithful"... in a positive way, of course.

[@richardrybicki749]

Mary here on Richard's phone I have been listening to Pentatonix for quite a few years and it seems that every year they get greater and greater. I would love to see a sing off between Pentatonix home Free and there's another well-known group that is equally as good as the rest of them and see a sing-off between the three of them or have them all three work on one group of songs together

[@PtxXtp]

I suggest you watch the 2016 popspring performance of this. Maybe not as a reaction ( we’d all love a comparison reaction. Just saying) but just for yourself to see how good they are at performing this in front of a crowd. Not that this one isn’t live but it’s something different to sound just as good on a big stage in a huge venue while moving around the whole time. The sound quality of that performance is very good too since it was recorded by mtv.

[@lukreziadawn308]

Coincidentally enough, or maybe not at this point, my dog loves Mitch. Every time I put them on the TV she sits transfixed in front of it and doesn't move until there's no Mitch anymore. She doesn't pay that much attention to me

[@annekyut2359]

Lovin' that Mitch layer term😍😅

[@ChristinaVVM]

Definitely check out “Mary did you know” PLEASE!!!

[@AndrewHargreave]

If you want to enjoy some of Avi's solo work since leaving Pentatonix, go check out Avi Kaplan - Change on the Rise (Official Music Video)

[@Russ_Keith]

I always enjoy reactions to the Evolution of Ariana Grande because it contains one of the most beautiful Mitch slaps. On a par with the one is this video right here. [edited because I forgot to capitalise Mitch's name. So I slapped myself. That's OCD for you.]

[@tedhuppert7693]

I've played this video at least thirty times with different reactors, and not one has mentioned the little phrase at the end of "I'll Be There" from the theme from "Ben," "You've got a friend in me." Did you catch that? Nobody has referenced that so far, when they've named most of the cuts from everything else. By the way, your reactions are epic! I love the way you name other artists and songs we should check out. I've found stuff I like that I would never have known about otherwise. Cool!

[@df5199]

Recommend their Seasons Of Love as televised last 4th of July. Also, Kirstin sang 3 songs at the Elsie Fest last night. They are The Wizard And I, Gravity, and Stranger To The Rain. There are good videos by Jenn The Broadway Nerd.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

Such a cool idea! I am very excited for Tonix Tuesdays! Great breakdown. And could you imagine life without a Mitch level? Horrible thought!

[@sueb4289]

If you love the live versions, u need to check out Love Again, live original , cover of No , and Somebody that I used to know,,, nice reaction!

[@scottperil905]

FANTASTIC REACTION!! You kicked ass

[@rubysmolen5155]

2 other ptx covers you should check out is "We are ninjas" (TMNT teenage mutant ninja turtle cover) and dog days are over both amazing

I have watched them perform this live. It was just as good on stage. They truly are amazing. Thanks for the great reaction as always!

[@pamelapilling6996]

Hello from Kamloops. So so glad for Tonix Tuesdays. Love your reactions DJ. Looking forward to the next one. I vote for Come Along to be reaction.

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Hey there, Pamela! Please stay safe up there. We’re hearing the fires are not so great.

[@gabrielestrohmann6832]

Pentatonix-always great ! Since this is the only way to contact you, I would love to hear/see you react to Dimash again. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to his "Stranger". You will enjoy it - and we will enjoy your reaction!

[@Lhun-ft6rl]

I love this video!! thank you for reacting to this one!! :)

[@caroleceres]

Tuesday’s just got more interesting! Thank you! 🤗

[@justlinsu]

YES!!! Yes I love that you praised Avi....I am a huge fan....Both Avi and Kevin were so ignored by most 'reactors' who focused only on the Trio...don't get me wrong they are brilliant....But without those flawless transitions and rhythms just moving the whole thing along it would not have been such an awesome hit. I always loved seeing Avi & Kevin up front as you can see just how hard they work. Have you 'reacted' to their 'No' video....as it features Avi & Kevin having fun and Avi holding the longest ever bass notes lol. Waiving from Australia

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Hi Australia can you see me waving?! Haha.

[@tersommers]

Tonix Tuesdays will now be my favorite day of the week! Love your reactions and your Jack Assery! You are so entertaining, yet informative and knowledgeable! Would love for you to watch any of their Evolution of videos. They did Ariana Grande, Beyonce and Rihanna! Also, fun live ones are Gangnam Style (with bloopers, too, if you have time) and Thrift Shop! They were earlier performances but so fun! Thank you for your fun reactions and your appreciation of Mitch (my favorite)!

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Thanks!! We’re going to try evolution of Beyoncé but that scares me because Beyoncé videos were murder on the channel for blocks and strikes. That’s why I haven’t done another one :(

[@tersommers]

@@TempleMusicAcademy I would love to see that! I know KZbin is awful with copyright issues even on vocals only, but I can't say that I have heard of anyone having an issue with their medleys. I hope it goes smoothly! I want to see it! :)

[@Mandolorian1001]

OMG NO WAY! I HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR THIS FOREVER!!! OMG THIS JUST MADE MY DAY BRO THANKS SO MUCH

[@GQkid13]

So I got excited when you said the video would be done in Japanese because i've been practicing Japanese lol. Great reaction!

[@denisehart7104]

Great reaction ! There is so much talent here ! Love these guys, no matter what they sing, they rock ! :) And you can see this was in 1 take !

[@chetstevens4583]

Scott, Mitch and Kirsten wanted to sign up for the Sing Off as a trio and they probably would have done well but not won. Every judge on multiple occasions commented on Avi and Kevin laying the foundation for everything built on top. They are the "meat and potatoes" that made Pentatonixs into the super group of a capella.

[@jamezbond0074]

DJ flawless victory. Excellent breakdown. Just for analytics I rewatched this 5x to listen to each part. Originally I was drawn to Avi, because well it's Avi. But going back and focusing on each part gave me a new view point than I've ever used. Domo Origato DJ-san.

[@erinbackman1196]

A bunch of your videos have been showing up on ginger approved channel. Just wanted to see if it’s actually you or if someone is copying them. Love that you are back to pentatonix! I love them, home free and voice play! Always enjoy when you do one

[@TempleMusicAcademy]

Yes it’s me. We use it to test the algorithm

[@erinbackman1196]

Oh perfect! I was like I could see the name, but would have hated someone using your videos without your knowledge!

[@trentoncrew3985]

Mitch slapped¡

[@chenmd16]

Loved your reaction. Excited about Tonix Tuesdays!

[@richardrybicki749]

Mary on Richard's phone from Florida I know I'm 3 hours late but you got to give us a chance to get off of work.

[@mariamalin7975]

I have been WAITING for you to so this reaction!! Awesome reaction!

[@jeanwinans9023]

I've waited so long for TonixTuesday so I can't believe I missed it!!!! Thank you :)

[@Opa_Andre]

Very well done reaction. You're really impressive in catching up details. As I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson as well as of Pentatonix and also love your reactions in general, it was a "must see". If you want to do another reaction of Michael Jackson cover, check out the blind audition of Bogdan at "Voice of Romania". That one blew me away. The judges even requested to sing it a second time. As a Music Teacher - would you notice the difference to the original voice of MJ? Here the link if you like to react to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKfIq6Cep6-HhNE

[@amanda13b12]

Great reaction, happy to hear about Tonix Tuesday, as you mentioned Japanese near the beginning you should check out PTX Perfume melody! 😊

[@jeangoodwin1856]

Thanks for a great reaction. I’m so excited that you’re going to have Tonix Tuesdays cause I just can’t get enough of PTX 🤗

[@joannesmith3029]

Review... dear my friend fete....with Japanese band ...just came across it...they are singing in perfect Japanese

[@Mandolorian1001]

It would be awesome to see your reaction to Ted Neeley's performance of Gethsemane in the 2006 recording which can be found on youtube. He was basically the first really big person to ever play the role, and in my opinion, the best performer in the history of the role in terms of the ways he approached the G5

[@katebirch1207]

What's the outro song? It sounds really cool

[@debbierhodes4479]

There is also a live version of this that they did on stage that I think is even better than this version! Great reaction!

[@maryjanemckittrick4162]

You review other similar groups. Do any of them have the each of PTX?
