Back then, because they'd been dropped almost immediately after The Sing Off by Sony, they became a DIY group, typically shooting these videos on the couch at Avi & Kevin's shared apartment in LA (also where "Daft Punk" was shot later) on an iPad with 1 mic. That's what they could afford to do, then posting onto their KZbin channel. They wanted to prove to Sony and other record labels that a cappella was commercially viable. Obviously it worked.

[@Karen-Campos]

Yes, you’re right! They won the Season 3 of The Sing Off in fall 2011. After the record label dropped them, they turned to KZbin to build their fan base. This is where the iconic couch setup was born! One couch. One mic. One camera/ipad. 5 vocals sung all together. Raw & real talent! Just “look how far they’ve come!” Great reaction!

[@heidi_d]

Isn’t that the couch they ended up using in the Bohemian Rhapsody video? I mean the one you referred to in your comment?

[@chrive8934]

Sometimes we forget how Pentatonix started and maybe take for granted how much work they put into KZbin. It's been 10 years - just 10 years!

[@JacobRestituto]

True

[@lauriep2018]

OMG this cracks me up because they sang this at the first concert I went to in like 2013 at the House of Blues in Boston. Back then they didn’t really have a set or anything on stage and they weren’t perfect. BUT I remember they closed with this song and on the very last note someone was way off. They’d never do this now, but they all stopped and started cracking up. Turns out it was Avi who sang the wrong note and he took the blame for it. I’ve seen them in concert eight times and more I’m thinking way back to that first one and how it was so raw and laid back 😀

[@JacobRestituto]

Wow cool!

[@nathaliamenezes8215]

Loved the reaction. You should react to their sing off performances. It's really interesting to see where they began .

[@Langley_Ackerman19]

Yes, especially since you're such a music theory/gear nerd! You'll definitely relate to what Ben Folds is saying when he rates their performance.

[@bethvargas8841]

Very raw but enjoyable nevertheless. It's one of those videos that pulls your heartstrings and then you realize how far they've gone. Thanks for the reaction

[@wendischambach6181]

It's so interesting to look back and see that same original style: start off simple, add beatboxing and build to a crescendo or two, then scale back to just vocals and fade. It creates an emotional response in the listener and has you leaning in at the end hanging onto the very last note. They rocked this!

[@JacobRestituto]

For sure

[@jacobcisson7524]

yes ive been waiting for this

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Ptxlive]

Those bass notes on the word “home” are full chest B1’s from Avi 🤯

[@JacobRestituto]

Wild

[@denisehart7104]

Thanks Jacob, I like this video. They were so young and fresh !

[@fugosfork7907]

I remember when this came out... damn the nostalgia

[@quackytelly]

Aww one of my faves. One of the ones I go back to for a re-watch.

[@JacobRestituto]

So cool

[@janeramirez8767]

Me too!

[@quackytelly]

@@janeramirez8767 Lol I just had to re-watch it again just now. :D

[@risperdude]

Love these old raw covers!

[@JacobRestituto]

Same!

[@Thontor]

I love these older videos. They really show off their talent not just the production

[@JacobRestituto]

Truth

[@QofyReacts]

Shoutout to TeamTuto!

You should check out Avi's solo music too. It's great too!^^

[@JacobRestituto]

Cool thanks!

[@amitm7555]

Would love to see you react to Phantogram

[@marymichele340]

Great walk in the past. Thanks

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼

[@mak4769]

If you want a roller coaster ride of a performance check out Matt Corby - "Brother", live at Tripple JJJ recording, trust me you will be astounded by his voice.

[@JacobRestituto]

[@ayallakeshet2993]

Please react to "stay" by pentatonix

[@nicolerichard47]

Please react to Your Power by Mitch Grassi (Billie Eilish cover). His voice sounds ethereal)

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks!

[@madelynadams332]

I don't see a reaction to PTX Come Along. If you haven't seen it you should

[@alexwalker8440]

I love Mitch and Kevin on this one. But I like the original by Fun. much better.

[@JacobRestituto]
