And there it is. The Mitch face.

[@Mahiahtree]

Haha, I thought the same thing. There's the Mitch face!

[@lauriefarmer7724]

every time.

[@carliejapel258]

Love watching someone experience Mitch for the first time!!!

[@aryansigrid]

9:04 Oh yes the "Mitch face" when he first starts singing his solo part, he has a very beautifully distinct sound & pitch! 10:37 -the Reaction of satisfaction @ the end of Mitch's solo!

[@spgreacts4507]

As I'm finally getting to the comments for this video I'm starting to notice that the "Mitch face" is a pretty common face amongst first time PTX reactors!💯🤣

[@hempchimp]

"Do they do any Christmas Music?" That prompted 487 different Pentaholic's 'Spit Takes'...

[@danielcarter837]

At least!!!!!!

[@buddasquirrel]

I choked on my juice.

[@lurker1107]

I laughed out loud, for real. Luckily I wasn't drinking anything. I still love the little claymation video where they make fun of how many Christmas albums they have. 🤣🤣

[@maryclaar4629]

I snorted into my coffee... Ouch, new cup....😃

[@heidifruchtl354]

I almost fell off my couch when I saw him get Mitch slapped. And then the Christmas music comment. Rofl. Oh dear, he just said that Kevin doesn't sing...I'm about to wet my pants. Dear boy has so much to learn.

[@jenniferackerman511]

Do they do Christmas music? They might have a few songs... (They just dropped their 6th Christmas album... 😂)

[@lindapowers8592]

Yes a few Christmas CD’s

[@flex97]

I know I laughed when he asked as well.

[@vanessaharris2325]

Just a few...

[@kathyryan2565]

💜🤔🤭 yes they have a few Christmas songs

[@emilyloyd7655]

I burst out laughing.

[@deennaemilio]

Leonard Cohen heard this before he died and he said this was his favorite version of his song

[@wanita7025]

"We don't need no instruments" check out Bohemian Rhapsody and Daft Punk. You're a Mean One for Christmas. Beat boxer sings in Mary did you Know

[@lindamorris3149]

Which was recorded in a cave!

[@tiffymcconkey]

Definitely Mary did you know

[@LeeCarlson]

Kevin also sings in their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" and the recently released "Amazing Grace."

[@spgreacts4507]

Wonderful recommendations, thank you so much!

[@tracylamb2971]

He Also sings in Little Drummer Boy.

[@TangentOmega]

When Mitch (in the hat) started singing, your facial expression is what Pentaholics call "Mitch face."

[@jacob7703]

Or the Mitch slap😂😂

[@andycofin6983]

Kevin is probably the most underrated artist in the group; he’s an amazing singer, beatboxer, cellist, etc.

[@kristaphipps6932]

Kevin actually takes part in the rap portion of "Problem", speaking & beatboxing AT THE SAME TIME. "Talented" is such a mediocre description of this dude! Truly, he's a phenom. And he's not even my favorite (well, actually, they're all my favorites). Each is a phenom in her or his own right. I'll quit now; Pentaholics can go on and on about their . . . quality. Oh, yeah. A cover that doesn't get that much review is "Come Along". Get the lyrics before listening to it - there are Alice in Wonderland references that won't be decipherable without prior review. It's a fun cover and the bass (Matt, in this case) & beatboxer, Kevin, hold a GREAT rhythm that most people would swear was a drum set. BTW, Avi was the bass in "Hallelujah" but left, amicably, in about 2018 for personal reasons. Avi helped find his replacement, Matt. Matt & Kevin are the rhythm foundation. All of the group members have formidable vocal ranges. Scott (tallest, blond) for instance, is reported to have a four octave range between bass & medium tenor; Mitch, rumored to have a five octave range, from high baritone to crazy high contra tenor & changes appearance frequently; Kristen or Kirstie, is a mezzo soprano & also changes her appearance frequently; Kevin is the beat boxer, who doesn't harmonize as frequently as the others but when he does, his range extends from a high baritone to a beautiful, sweet tenor; I think I've covered Avi & Matt already. Sorry! I just saw the length of this comment. Enthused much?!! That's what many Pentaholics are like. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

[@kristinheggen7894]

I totally agree! Kevin really is underrated. He is such an incredible talent. They all are, but Kevin is often seen as "just the Beatboxer" he is SO MUCH MORE.

[@rinthewolf]

Also a doctor, I believe

[@shelliblossom8953]

he doesnt get alot of singing time because no one else can do what he does in the group

[@artemisfowl66]

Not a doctor. He dropped out of med school to join Pentatonix. I honestly believe amoung Pentaholics that he is totally appreciated!!!!

[@lindamorris3149]

Him: I got goose bumps already Pentaholics: Just wait

[@libertarianguy5567]

"Do they do Christmas Music?"... I about fell out of my chair laughing. Just a few songs here and there...LOL. I think they have more Christmas songs than Bing Crosby. They do all of the classics and then some. I would check out their 2nd Grammy Award winning "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", it is a piece made for instruments with no voices that they do with voices and no instruments, not one word, it is amazing!! Also, there was no additional instruments, they made all of those sounds using their voices, hands, chest, and feet. If you watch their live version, you can see they have no instruments. Kevin is amazingly talented. He sings, beatboxes, plays the cello, can layer is stuff on the fly. He, is simply the definition of talent. If you want an original, you should check out "Love Again".

[@spgreacts4507]

Awesome, thank you so much for the fantastic recommendations and such wonderful insight into PTX!

[@sussj3330]

And here is the Mitch face😄...

[@spgreacts4507]

I'm guessing that's a pretty common face amongst first time reactors?!🤣

[@destinycircle8192]

@@spgreacts4507 oh, yeah. Like, nearly all of them. On the other hand, the first song most reactors play first is "Hallelujah", and their arrangement sets Mitch up perfectly for it - and deliberately, too, just because they acknowledge what an amazing and unique voice he has.

[@paulablock3202]

He had the perfect "Mitch slap" face 😂😂

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

“Do they do any Christmas music?” Is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in a long time!! Appreciated seeing your first Mitch Slap happen. Welcome to the PTX club!

[@robynwitham9326]

😂😂

[@allybandy3047]

Anything they do is top tier. Mary Did You Know, or O Come All Ye Faithful.

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

Those are my two favorites - at least until they dropped "Amazing Grace," which I now cannot get out of my head :-)

[@spgreacts4507]

Awesome, thanks so much for the recommendations!

[@emdet2234]

You should check out their Daft Punk medley, techno with no instruments, it’s incredible. They won a Grammy for it. They also won a Grammy for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy if you want to stay on Christmas

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you so much for the recommendations!

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

They have a lot of original music, too. My favorite is Sing, which will salvage your worst day. And it’s got a lot of celebrity cameos.

[@MelaniePoparad]

Absolutely! Great description. Salvage your worst day. It’s completely accurate!

[@spgreacts4507]

Awesome, can't wait to hear it... Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[@LeeCarlson]

I always love to see the facial reaction the first time that Mitch Grassi's counter-tenor registers with a first-time listener.

[@rainsmom]

Kevin is one of the world's best beat boxers. He does sing occasionally -- Mary Did You Know, Imagine, and Amazing Grace are good examples -- and he plays a mean cello. He also graduated from Yale and speaks fluent Mandarin.

[@gina6235]

SPG: Do they do Christmas music? Me: **Smirks** "You might say that."

[@Saturnea]

Common thread with all new reactors to PTX that choose this song as their first song...1) No instruments? 2) Avi looks like Jesus, 3) Jaw drop when Mitch comes in and 4) They are so good!. Look forward to watching you go down the rabbit hole that is Pentatonix. My suggestions: Covers - Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Shallow, Daft Punk Medley (won Grammy); Originals - Be My Eyes, Ain't Misbehavin', Sing; Christmas - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (won Grammy), Mary Did you Know, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. To be honest, anything you choose to react to, you won't be disappointed.

[@kristaphipps6932]

Another original: Love Again, done in Cybergoth costume.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendations!

[@bettyf584]

Ah, yes. There it is. The “Mitch Face”. Otherwise known as “The Mitch Effect”. Priceless. Another song you may want to check out by them if you haven’t already: “Amazing Grace (My Chains are Broken)”

The beloved "Mitch slap."

*My Chains are Gone

[@Mahiahtree]

"I didn't know it was going to be like this." Oh boy, you have no idea, it's exactly like this! Yes, the beatboxer sings sometimes, his name is Kevin and he is crazy talented. He plays cello and beat boxes in some songs (cello-boxing). You mentioned Christmas songs(they have a lot, and a new xmas album that just came out a few days ago) and hearing them in rooms with great acoustics-I recommend Silent Night. It's an older video of theirs but they sound fantastic. If you choose to dive down this Pentatonix rabbit hole just know...the Pentaholics will show up in droves, and you will become one, too! Thanks for the great reaction!

[@Karenlowry1]

Yea, all of this :P

[@michaelbiggs4313]

Kevin also has a double majored degree from Yale in Music and Pre-Med and is completely fluent in Mandarin Chinese. LOL

[@spgreacts4507]

Amazing insight into PTX, thank you so much for sharing! And I appreciate the recommendation, I honestly can't wait to hear more from them...

[@maryknight3405]

go find their Silent Night. It is as stripped down as it can be, shows the pure raw talent. Enjoy the rabbit hole!

[@spgreacts4507]

I sure will! Thank you so much for the recommendation!

[@LeeCarlson]

There have been occasions, during live concerts, when Avi Kaplan (the bass in the "beanie") has actually blown out speakers.

[@spgreacts4507]

I bet!! I would love to hear them live, must be an absolute wonder to behold!!

Always so much fun watching someone's first introduction to PTX. Welcome to the Pentaholics.

[@DavidTateVA]

Was waiting for the "Mitch face".... Yep. Check.

[@MrsRdTripp14]

Your face when Mitch started was priceless. For where to go to next I'd suggest the Sound of Silence or Imagine.

[@spgreacts4507]

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourself with the reaction as much as I did! Thank you so much for watching, as well as for the recommendations!

[@renaetieman6581]

#MitchSlapped. All Pentaholics are always hunting for that.

[@lavalampdancer]

Christmas: they won a Grammy for their arrangement of Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. It is incredible and so fun! But I also have to SUPER RECOMMEND their brand new Christmas album. This song (Hallelujah) is so incredible and powerful and has been probably my favorite song...but now Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) off the new album is just absolutely stellar!! The whole thing is amazing. P.s. - the beatboxer, Kevin, DOES sing! He also is a classically trained cellist (who has played Carnegie Hall) and invented Celloboxing - beatboxing over cello. He has his own side project with amazing music coming out! He is crazy talented and smart. Increcible guy.

[@spgreacts4507]

Awesome, thank you so much for all of this wonderful insight into PTX as well as the recommendations! More from them coming to the channel real soon...

[@spgreacts4507]

My pleasure, thank you so much for watching!

[@tanyapedersen6038]

You mention that you'd like to hear Them in a room with great acoustic. There are videos of Them singing such places. Somebody i used to know, their evolution videos (evolution of music, of Michael Jackson (that's really good), of arianna grande and of rhianna). They have made enough Christmas songs for you to do a video every day from now and to Christmas I'm sure. They Even made original ones - that's what Christmas is to me is an example of an original one, i think ☺️

This is on a PTX Christmas album. One of 6. Their newest Christmas album came out a week ago. You have to listen to Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) from that album. These People are outstanding in their vocals. Doesn't matter what they sing it is all good. All different genres but every year or two they do another Christmas one. A list would be sooo long. Mary Did You Know, is a classic by them, Carol Of The Bells, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy (Won a Grammy for) O Come All Ye Faithful Covers: Then there is Bohemian Rhapsody (Cover of Queen) Imagine (John Lennon) Sound Of Silence (Paul Simon of, Simon and Garfunkle) Daft Punk (Medley Of Daft Punk Band) New Rules x Are You That Somebody Havana Originals: Happy Now Be My Eyes Love Again Run To You That is a list to get you started. there are a lot more and experiences you will never regret hearing!

Pentatonix is probably the best a capella group of many excellent ones. My favorite acapella group, but I’m also a big fan of Home Free. In Pentatonix Kevin is the beat boxer, but also is arguably the the most talented. He also plays the cello while beatboxing, played in Carnegie hall at age 17. And is a graduate of Yale. I loved you Mitch moment when he showed of his countertenor range. Scott, Kirstin and Mitch sang as a trio in high school and picked up Avi and Kevin for the Sing Off competition and have been together ever since with the exception of Avi the bass who was replaced by Matt when Avi’s mother became ill.

[@scottperil905]

Kevin the beat boxer sings occasionally, and plays the cello amongst other instruments

[@spgreacts4507]

Thanks for the insight!

[@kit-katnews9137]

Pentatonic is an a capella group that use no instrument's but beat boxing they do an excellent cover of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen using a megaphone for the guitar solo total awesome job you won't believe your eye's how close they sound like Queen .

[@garybuchanan50]

You are spot on--she sure is purty!!!

[@joebarnhart4460]

Their copyright holder is pretty anal, so stopping is recommended. Judging other reactions, you could get by with longer playtime between breaks, and the breaks could be shorter too. Oh, Kevin (the beatboxer) sings too. And plays cello. And sax. And composes and arranges. And speaks fluent Chinese (Mandarin). And has a pre-med degree from Yale.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you so much for the insight Joe, I truly appreciate that very much! Unfortunately, even with the amount of pauses I have in this reaction, my video still ended up getting claimed...

[@keddiewye6517]

Great “Mitch Face”! It’s the look reactors get when they hear Mitch (guy with the hat) sing for the first time. Pentaholics love watching for that reaction, well done! BTW Kevin (the beat boxer) does sing in a beautiful tenor voice but it is rare. Next step I would recommend their Daft Punk Medley or their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Enjoy!

[@FayolaOnline]

Amazing Grace by Pentatonix from their current Christmas album is real fire. They have since changed one member, the bass Avi - Jesus in a beanie, with Matt new bass with the sweetest smile. BTW keep being careful about copyright strikes when it comes to this group. A bunch of reactors have been hit. The also do originals and other genres.

Kevin Olusola (KO) is unfairly talented. His beatboxing is second to none. In this piece he's keeping three separate beats (feet, hands, vocal) at the same time. Additionally, he plays Cello and Sax (no sax on any PTX pieces I've seen though) so well that he was invited to play Carnegie Hall as a teen at least twice (once for each). He also plays piano, drums, and probably some other stuff. His voice is also incredible. We don't hear it often with the group because he's busy holding down the beats, but when he does sing, it's like the sky has parted and the angels are serenading us. Check out his solo works called 'KOvers'. "Down" and "Sign of the Times" especially showcase his talent. He's producing those live, looping himself as he goes to make it fuller and allowing him to have his own complex accompaniment.

Oh yeah, I got schooled REAL quick as to what it means to be "Mitch slapped", and I couldn't agree more! And yes sir, I'm a big fan of Kevin Olusola... In fact, I reacted to his cello rendition of John Legend's "All of Me", please check it out if you happen to get a chance! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment Brian, stay safe and bless you my friend!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

"Amazing Grace" Is one you should seriously do.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you for the recommendation!

[@annepinkerton7735]

Kevin IS their beat boxer but he sings like an angel and also is a Yale graduate in pre-med!

[@spgreacts4507]

Ty!🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hello from Texas. I too am just discovering Pentatonix but I’m a few videos ahead of you. I wanted to suggest that now that you have seen The Pentatonix “Hallelujah“ video, that you check out some of the other channels where other reactors have already posted their reaction to this song so that you can see how they did their reaction. I can’t remember any of them that paused it more than maybe three times. That really goes for every artist that I’ve seen a reaction to. Some people don’t pause at all because they go back and edit in their thoughts as subtitles, or they talk quietly about their thoughts while the video is playing, so that it doesn’t interrupt the flow of the performance. Especially for a performance such as this one, where you have so many crescendos and other amazing parts that unfortunately you split up to be cautious. I have subscribed to your channel and gave you a Like today, but I will wait a while and check back to see if you have been able to refine the way you react to videos, which will improve both your subscribers enjoyment of what you are reacting to, as well as it should increase your number of subscribers and likes. Good luck! ☮️ ... Steve in Dallas

[@spgreacts4507]

As much as I appreciate the insight Steve, reacting like that just isn't possible for me... Other reactors may not be doing this for the same reasons as I, nor depend on it to support a family like I do. I need to pause to avoid copyright infringement, so my video doesn't get claimed, and even with how much I paused in this reaction, my video unfortunately STILL ended up getting claimed! I'm guessing that's because whoever owns the copyrights to PTX music is pretty conservative with how it's used by others... Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by and show your love and support for what you enjoy, including my reaction which you understandably found a bit difficult to immerse yourself with. I'm hoping to one day be able to completely demonetize the channel and just use something like patreon support to keep doing content creation, instead of having to rely on ad revenue, because then I could keep the pausing to an absolute minimum only to avoid the video getting blocked and receiving copyright strikes!

I think "Mary did you know" is one of their best Christmas songs.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thanx for the recommendation!

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

I’m just commenting as I watch your reaction. To answer your question, they have a SHITLOAD of Christmas music. They just dropped a Christmas album this week.

[@spgreacts4507]

Incredible, thank you so much for letting me know!

[@debbienockels7255]

“Mary, Did You Know?”!!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Greetings from Florida.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you so much for the recommendation Debbie... Greetings from PA!!!

[@Danimal525]

"Mary did you know" is one of my favorites by them.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thanx for the recommendation!

[@rikkadear1127]

There’s a way you can listen without the copyright messing with it. I’d like to watch without it pausing every 8 seconds! :)

[@hstppt]

Yeah, I am a fan of pauses, but you've gotta get through several bars and a few dynamic levels before pausing! I know the copyright hammer has been coming dowm hard, so I'm not mad, but whew, this was choppy. Still looking forward to the next.

[@spgreacts4507]

I appreciate the honesty, and I'd love to know what the way is you speak of because even with all of my pauses my video still got claimed... So if you get a chance, please let me know, thank you!

[@anessalyn1035]

oh yea they have so much Christmas music. there is a live version of this, sounds exactly the same. And a lot of reactors have said Avi(beard) looks like jesus.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Which is seriously insulting to a Jewish man.

[@spgreacts4507]

Thank you so much for the insight, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it!🤣

[@beltizad]

All their music is incredible. But as far as Christmas goes, their live recording in a cathedral of Silent Night is exceptional. You won't be disappointed.

[@shannonslack4448]

There's literally a video for everything you asked about. Whether it's an official video or being the scenes stuff like jamming on the fly, you have a 9 year spam to draw from and that's not even counting their solo projects. I always like to recommend me reactors go check out their performances on the Sing Off, live performances (terrible choreo, lol) and great judge critiques. It's awesome to see their come up.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Kevin is the beatboxer but sings and plays the Chello. He is amazing!!

[@kebekha1670]

If they can't do it live, it doesn't go out! Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole!

[@MelaniePoparad]

Dance of the sugar plum fairy. One of their grammy winners. It’s amazing.

[@spgreacts4507]

Awesome, thanx so much for the recommendation Melanie!

[@meganjolie6672]

Watch their live version of this song, so good and powerful!

[@spgreacts4507]

Thanx for the recommendation!
