My Strangest Pentatonix Reaction EVER? - Gold - Pro Singer First Reaction

[@ItsmeBarry]

Hello everyone 👋 Thank you so much for watching this video, I really appreciate it. Please watch my “Barry Recommend Reaction” And join me as I loose my mind reacting to PTX the Evolution of music, it was TOO, TOO AMAZING! 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ2baqyiZqZgm8U

[@StorytimeWithLana]

NOOOOO, Barry! Never, ever forget the madman at the end. He makes the BBs happy. More, More, More Barry. (PTX was awesome, of course) Ding, Ding, Ding, Di...Wait, how many Dings? Love from Bama.

[@super_siri]

I want to know how many HOURS AND HOURS of individual and group practice this took before they recorded this. This is such a technically difficult timing song it's crazy that they were able to record it.

[@annfahy9089]

Thanks for introducing Pentatonix to me, fantastic!

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Don't try to compare the 2 bass singers. It is not fair or reasonable. PTX lost their basso profundo and, as Ben Bram their arranger explained, adjusted their music to compensate. Avi always was a singer-songwriter now he just gets to do it full time. He's much happier and we have this much new music to explore! as Avirel and the Sequoias Fields and Pier Quarter Past Four Sage and Stone Song for the Seeker Sweet Adeline cover - Hey Ya! as Avi Kaplan Change On the Rise Otherside The Summit Aberdeen I'll Get By It Knows Me Sweet Adeline part 2 Chains Born in California Full Moon Get Down Song for the Thankful First Place I Go cover - Lean On Me encore cover used House of the Rising Sun not released but performed When I Die Golden Hills and probably a couple more I forgot 🙂

[@AnneMajdosz]

I agree Barry, Pentatonix is too, too good!! Listen to this song... they're amazing! Great singing and shoulder dancing B☘️!!

[@i.luv.2.teach.78]

The techniques and timing used on this song were unbelievable! I did have a difficult time with the meaning of the lyrics, though.

[@doughaviland1729]

Absolutely one of the TIGHTEST PERFORMANCES THEY'VE EVER DONE!🙂

[@Grevlain]

Yes - absolutely jaw dropping. And a live performance recording. Anyone says PTX is all studio magic - play them this.

[@super_siri]

Ten thousand percent agree!!!!

Glad to see you back on Pentatonix again. I don't know if you're planning on checking out the original version of this or not, but I can tell you with ALL certainty that this version is about 10,000% better. Kiiara can't even sing her own song without special computer effects and edits. They've put out a LOT of great stuff the last few months, you've got some catching up to do!

[@caroleceres]

Absolutely true! For me, practically EVERY PTX song is an original, because I’m unlikely to have heard it before, but SO MANY People had said that between them, they to Kiiarra’s song and TOTALLY upgraded it, without even trying! And you can See that Mitch truly isn’t trying! LOL. He’s singing as if, once this is done, he’s off to get a coffee! So laid back and relaxed. Like it’s rehearsal time, so he’s not going to expend the energy for a full out performance until later! So, because of these comments, I took a look at the original music video. Barry, I recommend that you do the same. Truly, without trying, Pentatonix wipe the floor with the original and throw it away! Mitch single handedly takes on all of the sound effects that she’s thrown at her song, in his “I’m not really trying” stride… Btw: I LOVE what you said about Avi/Matt! They are both beautiful souls and voices! 🤗

[@melissacoviello2886]

Yes please. I love this version on it own, but when you compare it to the original it’s unreal how wonderful they made such a bleh song.

[@sharonh951]

@@caroleceres I had listened to the original by Kiiara, and I hated it so much I couldn't finish listening to the end. In fact I almost did listen to the Pentatonix version because the original was so awful. The thought of trying to sit through that again was unthinkable, but I told myself this is Pentatonix, so if anyone can fix that mess it's them. I'm so glad I followed my "Pentaholic" instincts. I really liked this, and the more I hear it, the more I'm loving it.

👏👏YAAAAAS!! SPAZ OUT BARRY!!! LOL!! This is why THEY ARE THE GREATEST ACAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD!!!

[@Wiley_Coyote]

It's him Barry. Wearing headphones. Good video for it, since this cover is so layered and complex.

[@randomjokers7185]

This is easily one of my favorite songs, it really showcases their ability to harmonize, blend, and syncopation.

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

Before I watched PTX's version of this song, I watched the original, because it's sooooo different, and so reliant on auto-tuney sort of stuff. The original is a fun song, but I could NOT figure out how they were going to do it without instruments--but alas! They KICKED ASS! WOO! I wondered if they did this partly to challenge themselves. So glad you reacted to this! xoxo

[@richardwilson5560]

The original artist cut in her own voice for the 3 parts "roof is" "falling" "let me love me" and "without ever letting me know." Mitch, for most of the song, chops up his voice to make it sound like it is cut in. At the end, they split it 3 way, Mitch, Kirsty and Scott do the same thing. So good, you have to watch the mouths to know!!!

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

@@richardwilson5560 I read somewhere that Mitch said it was one of the most challenging things he had to learn to do. They are all so awesome.

Remembered my glasses on top of my head. Nope, I just need to clean off the puter screen. How in tarnations did a speck get on my screen? ACK! Now, where is the windex? I can't have a "fly" landing on Barry's nose. lol This was a good song. All that Dingy Dingy Dongs.

[@michaels9595]

Well said about our lucky ears getting to enjoy both bassists.

[@terrilabeth]

This is for the people in doubt that never bother to check out their live videos. They can do their music live which is important! The Barry Bus 🚌 must go to a concert! Can you imagine how much fun that would be? The Barry Growl, won’t tell you when! 🤫 🤫 🤫 Mitch is crystal clear and it looks so easy, it is beautiful. 😂 That timed wink! Please hold, both earphones just popped out of my ears. Terri growled this time. I cannot find ones that fit, my birthday is coming up, time for regular headphones 🎧 because these inner ear things do not work. Not unless I am super still and how can you be super still when you listen to music? Well Terri can’t be super still, that ain’t happening. Anywho, The timed Barry Wink is becoming quite the popular thing. I have caught it on 3 videos so far? It is discussed in circles all over the world! Oh Barry, Barry you are still a singer, you cannot fool me! You are correct, enjoy them all. I won’t get into a a Matt vs. Avi conversation or comparison. Just enjoy them both! Listen to Barry! ❤️

[@vbella39]

I am not so patiently waiting for you to review Avi’s solo work. He is such a talented man. Gold is one of my favorite covers by them, each members talent shines brightly. You are correct about the old and the new. Everything all of them have ever done, before and now is amazing, as a group and personally. At this space in time I can’t get enough of The Lucky Ones. Their talent astounds me. Thank you for this Barry!

[@meghanmacqueen5157]

[@celiachristman104]

Good to have you back. I've missed you. I hope and pray all is well with you. I don't know if you've ever heard the original by Kiiara, but she sings with electronic help, especially the fast low to high notes. It's cool that Mitch does this all organically. I'm so glad you noticed Kevin and Avi. They were amazing. Most people who react to "Gold" (believe it or not) don't mention Avi. Drives me nuts! His bass is perfectly placed.

[@joebarnhart4460]

This is one of those songs where you really need to see the original to realize how amazing the cover is. Kiara used sampling and studio effects to sing her main track but Mitch just belted it out without even hardly trying.

[@pavlamariebernadettax6789]

Totally agree! Their cover is such an amazing masterpiece!

[@terriepurkey708]

So glad to see you back in my you tube feed! I always enjoy your reactions - I didn't know this song either so looked up the original which I didn't care for - the song or the video. Even tho I love PTX, at first listen this wasn't one of my favorites. Now - definitely a favorite as I listened to the skill from each one of them to make this cool version. A bit repetitive in lyric and melody for me to LOVE the song, but I LOVE the way they sing it. Keep smiling Barry.

[@ellenhulslander2897]

So nice to see you smiling and excited again. I listened to this song over and over when they first put it out.

Hi Barry. You are my favorite reactor. Love watching you react to Pentatonix. This one of my absolute favorite songs by them. They are truly brilliant. Lots of love from Inez,Texas❤️❤️❤️

[@Katfancy40]

Great to see you again, Barry boy!!! You can always put a smile on my face! I think that Mitch enunciates well and Avi is clear with no accent and I think Avi stand's out more than say, Matt because there's no hint of an accent. Thanks for this reaction!

[@Tark-qs4mu]

Listen to the way Kevin and Avi work together to create the low end. They way they hit off of one another in order to create the beat, and hold the vibe right where they want it. THIS is the example of the two of them doing that I point everyone to when I talk about it, this is what I show them to showcase what the Kevin and Avi did so well. 6:46- 6:56 It's also what I point to when I tell people that, while someone could be a world-class bass or a world champion beat-boxer, and STILL not want to be a part of this group. The effort, the talent, required to do what Pentatonix needs you to do, what they've built their group around, would be waaaaaay too much for a lot of people to handle. It's been said that Matt had some big shoes to fill when he came to Pentationx after Avi left. I think those shoes were so much bigger than a lot of people realize. And, he has done a wonderful job of fulfilling his part, his way. Do I miss Avi? Sure, sometimes. Do I love Matt? Absolutely. This was fun, Barry. Thank you.

[@easterellen]

What a great song.. I've never heard it before - they did amazing runs in this. I especially like where they individually sing the words to the melody. So unique and it worked so well with their beautiful voices.

[@denisehart7104]

Welcome back Barry! It's been a while, i love it when you react to PTX...

[@charlottevan_8]

Yes, what's taking you so long to get to Avi's original solo work, Barry? You don't know what you're missing! It's hard to know which of his many songs to recommend you start with. Most reactors start with "Change on the Rise", but a couple of other suggestions - personal favorites among so many - are "Chains" studio version (audio only, very dramatic), "Get Down" studio version (audio only, a layered masterpiece), and "Full Moon" the live KZbin Space concert version (a good one if you want to hear something calm and haunting). All of these are his originals, with him doing all vocals and much of the instrumentation (he doesn't do a cappella per se in his solo work). A whole new rabbit hole for you to venture down.

[@chrissynovful]

I agree with your recommendation and add Field and Piers and The Summit to that.

[@charlottevan_8]

@@chrissynovful It was very hard to choose just a couple of his songs. He's written and performed nothing yet that isn't excellent. I'm hoping someone video's the performance he's doing right now (8:30pm on Friday night) in Nashville at a music festival, his first performance in a year and a alf in front of a live audience. He spoke in posts about how excited he is to be doing it again. Having been to 3 of his shows in 2019, I can tell you that he is awesome live.
