Musician Reacts To Pentatonix - New Rules x Are You That Somebody

[@sebb8347]

I love Matt. Whilst a bass such as Avi was really hard, if not impossible to replace, they absolutely smashed it. They didn't choose a stupidly low bass, they chose a stupidly good bass.

[@TheMamamarieke]

This was the one that completely cured my, “But I miss Avi so muuuuuch!” energy. Matt really brings a lot to the table and they utilized his punchier tone so well in this.

[@lauriep2018]

Exactly! I was listening to a podcast with Ben brahm and he mentioned that when they started for Avi, it was for big, bellowing basso profundity etc. but for may- it’s more rhythm bass- like a bass guitar. Which I personally think is more towards their pop style. Which is why he really fits well with them

[@Ptxlive]

Also. You gotta check out their new LIVE performance of ‘the prayer’ on AGT !

[@caitlynking10]

Yes!

[@beccaHbell]

Yes!

[@uschip.6246]

Yaaaaaazzzz

[@Karen-Campos]

Fantastic reaction! Those arpeggiated bell tones are magnificent! Matt’s bass drop at 6:01 *chef’s kiss* Filmed in a NY penthouse when Kirstin was doing her Broadway show!

[@j.6133]

Please, react to 'La La Latch' by them, it's one of their best arrangements ever! Thank you.

[@helenat2446]

Thanks for explaining the difference between how Avi and Matt sound. Makes sense.

[@larrywt656]

This was one of the first videos to feature Matt after he had become a full-time member (he'd been in a couple of earlier videos, but was still a part-timer at that point). This was shot while Kirstie was doing her Broadway stint in Kinky Boots, thus the New York skyline. I've heard a rumor that this was the apartment that was provided to her by the producers of the play during her time there. NICE DIGS!! No wonder she loved it there so much!!

[@marymichele340]

I will always watch your PTX reactions because you actually notice things and explain stuff. Thank you for doing that. Your knowledge is amazing. Big thanks for acknowledging Matt’s abilities. I’m tired of folks not appreciating him. He has added so much to PTX.

[@bethvargas8841]

True! Can you imagine Avi in Butter x Dynamite? Lol! I think Matt really struggled to be accepted and recognized. It was a hard climb but with his talent, nothing is impossible. He is so nice too and just gets away from any drama.

[@bridgetteparsons1984]

You're probably too young to remember, but the bass and percussion line is Timbaland's from "Are You That Somebody," thankfully without the screaming baby. It worked really well with "New Rules."

[@shilohauraable]

Ben said that they DO layer, but NOT as much as you'd think they do. I'd like to hear this the difference between one that is layered & one that isn't - both compared to live performances of each song. Would be interesting to hear. JMO

[@the_nikster1]

this is one of my absolute favorite PTX songs. Matt completely kills it with the bass and it's the song where I started to actually fall in love with him lol I love your in-depth analysis on the PTX songs. more please! haha

[@thechomiji]

I thought you'd like this one! I think it's one of their most sophisticated arrangements, and Matt and Kevin were just off the hook.

[@katesullivan4707]

This was Matt's introduction video, which is why they stripped it down to the beginning to show the new song before adding the production.

[@ridiculouslyalienated]

For live performances, they sang this song on GMA and "The Prayer" yesterday on AGT, check them out..

[@shilohauraable]

That AGT performance was awesome! 💖

[@tasia2174]

I don't think you've done their mashup of La La Latch...if you did, I didn't see it in your PTX playlist. You should check it out! I also don't think you've done their cover of Making Christmas. You should also do that one. :)

[@johnwakefield9378]

Great reaction as always, loved your thoughts on Avi and Matt. Well said as usual

[@celiachristman104]

I loved Matt's bass, too. I've listened to their almost 200 songs many many times, including this one, and as I'm sure you know, the more you listen/view the song/video the more you pick up. Great first reaction. I like their "bell tones", too. I can't spell arpegios (Sp?). Thank you for continuing to go through their catalog.

[@MsRegi64]

This is one of my favorites of Pentatonix!

[@pattis2641]

This is the first music video showing off Matt, I believe!!!

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their oldie, Somebody That I Use To Know.

[@janispriest3067]

This is one of my favorites!!

[@Bonofox1]

✌ Good reaction! I'm surprised that you haven't reacted to Acapop Kids and Citizen Queen .... The 2 groups co-founded by Scott and Ben Bram, even after Ben mentioned to you that support for these groups would help A LOT!!

[@shilohauraable]

They are AMAZING! 💕

[@slensink]

Hey jacob, I'd love to see you do a tier list of pentatonix songs!!

[@larksigsby3697]

Style: friends having conversation.

[@LWM521]

This song is particularly known as not having much if any layering.

[@LWM521]

Notwithstanding Brams' interview which I heard.

[@samanetha89]

Yes! One of my faves!🤷‍♀️

[@carriekovach797]

The did a live version of this on GMA. Highly suggest!

[@JacobRestituto]

Sick!

[@dawnpatterson8708]

I was going through your ptx playlist again. I realized that a few of them didn't get the like checked on them. Sorry, I thought I had gotten them all. Take care and be safe. Hope and joy to you and all.

[@JacobRestituto]

No apologies! All good!

[@kbbeers4274]

March bday here, too! I’m on the other end. 🤣 Funny fact - me and all my sibs have March bday! #TeamBullet

[@marablemorgan8292]

It's great!!!

[@marablemorgan8292]

Awesome...!

[@jesjusie]

Incrível

[@JacobRestituto]

Yes!

[@Ptxlive]

How did we let you escape this one ?!

[@Wizzly]

Please react to Natural Disaster by ptx!!

[@florelenav5819]

Hi Jacob!! Could you please react to Moon River by Jacob Collier or All Night Long (by Jacob Collier too). Thanks! Greetings from Venezuela.

[@wayneabbott619]

How about Scott

[@ibrahimtchadare5167]

[@vlaad911]

Please react to new Imagine Dragons album!!! We need to see your reaction)

[@scottboyd9383]

u stop way too many times to enjoy it. bye

[@RosheenQuynh]

Then why do you bother watching reactions? People shouldn't wait until the end, reacting IN THE MOMENT. If you want to hear the song, watch the original... Plus, it's to avoid copyright. smh
