This is a mashup of seven Daft Punk songs: Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Television Rules The Nation and Around The World.

[@jerolddavis]

The moment I finally realized Around the World was in there ... 🤯🤯 Absurd.

[@hcroussette]

@@jerolddavis I've heard this so many times and I never realized Around the World was in there either! What part is that?

[@hcroussette]

wait, are they singing Around the World during Avi's part? I never knew they were singing actual words!

[@jerolddavis]

@@hcroussette So it's actually like 3 or 4 times throughout the song. During 'Television' is the most obvious one, lol. I had probably seen this a hundred times before I even noticed that one. Then during the end sequence, she sings it twice, but it blends in a ton, you have to really listen specifically for Kirstin's voice. I thought there was one more, but I couldn't find it.

[@jerolddavis]

@@hcroussette Also, I just realized that while she's singing it 3x during 'Television', it actually pans left to right. That's an absurd level of detail.

[@tammyree6200]

One of the most satisfying things about watching people react to PTX, is seeing you hear what we hear, and knowing you'll love them as much as us! Excited to see where you go next! 💞

[@ritathomas5167]

Well said!

[@ptxlover6878]

Totally agree wit ya!

[@tobingreywolf]

It's fun trying to guess which parts will illicit the strongest reactions

[@adriankolsters]

Nail on the head! I love their music SO much, listening to a couple of songs every day, for years already.

[@tammyhill3798]

Great name!!! 😂Tammy

[@martianwoodpecker]

This medley blows my mind no matter how many times I've heard it.

[@mjbartholomew5317]

Part of their genius is their ability to transition from one song to another seamlessly. That and their ability to have the right person sing the right parts.

[@ajonteampanalo]

100%!!!! ☝️

[@robinmcdaniel6821]

It's actually several songs. They are masters of the mash up. They can make any songs blend together seamlessly AND make it sound good!

[@tuijakantola6550]

Macklemores Cant hold us, Pentatonix did a great version of that, worth checking out.

[@artemisfowl66]

Please do, it's my favourite!

[@graceito973]

This was their 1st Grammy! 2nd was Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies... A song without words performed by a band with no instruments! And the 3rd was their collab with Dolly Parton on her song, Jolene!

[@tammielongino7485]

THIS IS WHY PTX IS THE BEST A CAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD🌎. THEY MADE THIS VIDEO FOR $400.00 AND THEY WON THERE FIRST GRAMMY WITH THIS VIDEO. 🎵😁🎶

[@camillep6873]

not the video, they won for the killer arrangement

[@tammyhill3798]

Great name!! But you spell it wrong. 😂😂😂😉

[@lindaosmon5224]

Pentatonix made this video in Kevin and Avi's apartment and spent $400.00 to make it. They won their first Grammy for this video.

[@theresarigio5627]

We are Young, Problem, Starships, Cheerleader, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Ride. So many to choose from. Great reaction! I subbed to hear more Pentatonix. Keep them coming! 💕💕

[@Eightdb]

Pentatonix ALWAYS sounds great and they improve any song they tackle. If you REALLY want to be impressed, listen to their version of Bohemian Rhapsody and The Prayer. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen is absolutely perfect.....they waited a long time until they got it EXACTLY right. I'm really excited to see you discover their work.

[@jimk.7663]

Yeah, I heard it took them (Pentatonic) several years to perfect the song Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@Kaytrinelise]

@@jimk.7663 I've heard it was at least 4 years. And after the video was released, Brian May from the original band Queen posted it on his page and just wrote, "enjoy!"

[@marksterner7532]

UYes - All of their covers are, appropriately, referred to as "Upgrades"!!!

[@TheDivayenta]

Can you believe they filmed this in Avi’s ( bass) closet? And again, it’s only vocals! This masterpiece won a Grammy! They’re all Daft Punk songs in a “ mash-up”.

[@aliciadarga6993]

The Grammy actually changed a category in order to give PTX a Grammy. That's how respected they are.

[@alaricschenck8051]

There is a video of Pentatonix singing this live for friends without mics from beginning to end nonstop just in case you were thinking their performance of this Daft Punk Medley could only be the work of much splicing and editing. Definition of amazing: 1) causing great surprise or sudden wonder, 2) excellent; wonderful, 3) Pentatonix.

[@dejns6945]

They received a Grammy for this video. 😊. They are singing several different songsmixed together. Kevin is The master beat boxer.

[@babyfry4775]

A Cappella is something else isn’t it?!!! When you gather great voices together and train those voices to not only sing together but to make incredible sounds (like guitar, drums, wind and lots of other sounds) it makes for almost limitless possibilities. This is a great video. They are amazing. The top 3 groups: Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay are exceptional. Enjoy the ride!

[@jerolddavis]

Everyone in this group is absurdly talented! My current favorites of theirs that it looks like you haven't seen yet: Love Again Seasons of Love Attention Coffee in Bed Sing

[@judybrant1403]

Love your reactions. If you want to see some mind-blowing beat boxing and bass, check out their original "Love Again". Anything PTX is going to blow you away.

[@Gwennedd]

I'll second that! Great beats from Kevin ( beatboxer extraordinaire) and impressive vocals from Mitch Grassi ( the dark-haired guy with the high voice)

[@mikegoodwin2386]

"Love Again" is one that not many reactors get to and is definitely worth watching!

[@df5199]

The three main vocalists, Scott , Mitch, and Kirstie, sang together in high school as The Trio. After that, they picked up Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer) to form Pentatonix. They have a 200 plus song catalog over their eleven year history. The only member change was when Avi left in 2017 and Matt took over as bass. Recommend the Sound Of Silence. The newer bass, Matt, is terrific in this.

[@PlayIt4Wordgames]

This won a Grammy for best vocal arrangement

[@wcmatta]

Great reaction, Greg. I know it was blocked but we enjoy seeing one’s first reactions to their songs. We were the same way …. amazed. Kevin, the beat boxer (KO), does a solo cover of Down and I suggest you get your popcorn ready! Just incredible. Thanks and welcome to the rabbit hole!

[@judithL3100]

There’s beatboxing……and then there’s actually sounding like real instruments!

[@lleldridge1]

Thanks, Greg, great reaction! 🤯🤯, right??? As others have mentioned, their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody might be a good place to go next, especially since you just reacted to the original Queen version.

[@alanr1608]

Kevin the beatboxer will blow your mind. Trust me on this one. React to Kevin Olusola "Down". He is the beatboxer for Pentatonix and I promise this one will blow your mind.

[@fauxmedia3182]

So glad your back with more PTX! 🎉🙌🏼 This is my hype song!!! I had so much fun watching it with you!! ❤️‍🔥 PTX is the G.O.A.T.! Recommend PTX mash-up “New Rules/Are you that somebody” Kevin and their new bass Matt, kill it! Matt replaced Avi in 2017. Avi is still close with the group. Kevin is a BEAST!! ~Pentaholic from Louisiana 🐊

[@luckywanderer5107]

Great reaction. This was filmed in a closet and on a 400.00 budget and won a Grammy for it.

[@heidimosher5003]

If you think these transitions between songs are flawless, you should react to their Evolution of... songs. My absolute favorite is Evolution of Michael Jackson.

[@thechomiji]

Maybe even the live version from Popspring 2016!

[@barbk2324]

They got their first Grammy for Daft Punk…..😎

[@rebellibrarian]

Love seeing folks at the start of this journey. 💓💓💓 I think you might enjoy "Evolution of Michael Jackson" or "Imagine" but there's no bad choices in the Pentatonix discography. Enjoy the ride! Edited to add - didn't you just listen to Bohemian Rhapsody? Hearing thme do THAT song is mind blowing.

[@beatrixmahlknecht2817]

I suggest "Gold" kiara cover from them to see how talented they are🙂

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

but first find the studio cut of Kiiara's to see what she had to do for the sound, *then* watch Mitch kill it.

[@martinhafner2201]

They wrote their own medley of 7 Daft Punk songs! Kevin the beatboxer and Avi the bass wrote it, probably with Ben Bram polishing it up. This was the song that pretty much rescued their financial nosedive. Done cheap and done very well. Kevin and Avi make a very coordinated rhythm section in this song. Sometimes Avi is doing "bass guitar", but often he is doing a sort of synth bass drum or at least part of it.

[@josephsperanza7866]

Their Christmas albums are fantastic. Unfortunately Avi (bass) left the group but exploded on the scene a few years later as a solo artist. Check out his song "Change on the rise"

[@charlottevan_8]

And any of the 11 songs on his new album "Floating on a Dream".

[@rachellephipps1361]

You can't go wrong with anything from Avi all are great. Worth a listen! Would love to see your reactions.

[@elenahume8295]

YESS AVIII IS PURE TALENT

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

Lol youve discovered a new true sound music at its finest . They are the instruments. Gods amazing.

[@robin8773]

there is a 16 minute video called 'the beginner's guide to pentatonix' that tells you how they got started. it really helps.

[@fanasx4]

I highly recommend The Wizard of Ahhhs which is a collaboration with Todrick Hall, Macklemore’s Can’t Hold Us and White Winter Hymnal. These all show the range of what they can do (acting, rapping and coordination) in addition to all the other recommendations I’m seeing in the comments. There doesn’t seem to be anything they can’t do!

[@SharonFell]

PTX always puts a bit of themselves in their covers while still staying true to the original. There are so many good songs in your future. Can't wait to see some of your reactions. This is also done live and is just as good.

[@Erika-yy8ry]

They sang this song exactly like in this video on a birthdayparty LIFE without any mixer. Without micros. They are amazing.

[@lourdedevilson7739]

The song that gave them their first grammy The song that made me fall down the rabbit hole and have been a fan of for 7 years now

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Hi Greg, this is a medley or mashup of a lot of hits Daft Punk had. Years back, when PTX was on stage in Melbourne, Australia, suddenly Daft Punk, themself, appeared to honor their work and thank them, to keep their music alive. You man stay safe and sound. German Greetings.

[@christinetodd9646]

You should watch them sing this, or any song live. Avi was my favorite (shirtless jhere, bass singer) and I love Mary Did You Know, Bohemian Rhapsody, Say Something, Shallow and with the new member (2017) Matt I love Sound Of Silence and Amazing Grace. Everything the sing is amazing!

[@michaelf8702]

This is a daft punk medley, meaning it's a mashup of different daft punk songs.

[@mimiloveee9]

Their voices & bodies are their instruments 💃

[@Heydoesanybodywannalaugh]

This was a fun reaction! I sometimes listen to this Daft Punk medley on repeat and dance around my house like a fool. I’m sure my neighbors or people walking by looking in must think I’m a crazy person. PTX makes these covers their own!

[@chrisnoah7868]

This "older" video is one of my favorites of all time! It is well sung, but also superbly edited!!!

[@vidsorama2]

I enjoyed your reaction to this fun Pentatonix medley of 7 Daft Punk songs. They do a lot of medleys and mashups of songs. Their Evolution Of... videos are epic. My favorite is "Evolution Of Rihanna". Others are of Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Ariana Grande and Music. Two of my favorite mashups are "Butter x Dynamite" and "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?".

[@iimochiii3602]

Still one of my favorite Pentatonix videos, it’s so good! They’re just so amazing and so talented!

[@louellamoyer5578]

I'm excited to get to Christmas! They have several Christmas albums and they are epic! Never would you think a Christmas song could be the way they sing them with their spin and be outstanding! It is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for going down this rabbit hole. Love your reactions!

[@melanie00005]

Loved your reaction to Pentatonix. I just subscribed. Looking forward to you reacting to more Pentatonix. Your going to enjoy all their songs they are awesome

[@taniareads8751]

You are correct! This talent is hard earned :-) even though they all have incredible voices and talent, it's the hard work behind the scenes, the work ethic in keeping going even when they lost their first recording contract, the amount of professional attention they bring to their craft, that really uplifts them. And the fact they respect each other and play to everyones strengths. To me, that is why I am so taken by them, not just for the music, but the the feeling of love and respect they seem to bring. They remain (it appears!) so grounded and humble about what they have achieved - and this week it was announced they will have a Star on the Hollywood walk of stars! They've earned it.

[@marablemorgan8292]

Welcome to the world of PTX... You're going down the wonderful rabbit hole of Pentatonix!

[@michellebarry1555]

What I love is a lot of reactors start on the Pentatonix journey to increase their subscribers (understandably because we Pentaholics are a loyal fan base), but then it doesn’t take long for the reactor to get hooked and become a Pentaholic themselves ☺️

[@suzannebaxter2888]

I love seeing newbies reactions to Pentatonix. This is why they are the number one A cappella group in the world. They even covered Macklemore's Can't hold us. They never release something they can not recreate on stage. Just enjoy the ride.

[@bfly5990]

Welcome to amazing talent land. They don’t miss. Check out their covers of Bohemian Rhapsody, Can you feel the love tonight. ( from the lion king). Say Something, Sing, Rather Be, Amazing Grace, can’t hold us

[@ajonteampanalo]

I’m loving ur a cappella journey!! I’ve looked at ur playlist and you and I are in a small club I suspect: we both adore PTX AND EZ Mil. Talent is talent and I’m here for it!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@typhoid_holliw4315]

I've heard this, watched this more times than i can count and I STILL sometimes forget, this is Just the 5 of them, no instruments!! Even seen it performed live and other than sound mixing, it sounds just as good! Franklin Kevin (one the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet) is a friggin BEAST ! I mean all the sounds and Crispness he can make .. 😎

[@michaelairheart6921]

This is a mashup of several Daft Punk songs.

[@javadan]

Kevin's beat boxing is superb. I'm glad to hear somebody appreciate it - props to you for that. He's also amazing at playing the cello. You can really hear him in their cover of Shallow.

[@nana_naniz785]

Those SKIPS. Are REAL. I repeat, REAL.

[@cblanerun]

It’s amazing they won a Grammy for this from singing in Avi’s apartment closet. Wow!

[@jamesrcoleii4577]

The song is actually a few songs mash up together, "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," "One More Time," "Get Lucky," "Digital Love" and "Television Rules The World." I mean it work, they did win a Grammy in 2015 for it.

[@karenamicarella7036]

You need to hear them do it live..it sounds the same..no mixing just their voices.

[@ajonteampanalo]

🤯🤯🤯

[@jodiehaskell5689]

They have won 3 Grammys so far. This was their 1st one. They are true artists at upgrading covers while still paying homage to the original sound. Their original songs are fantastic, as well. Mitch and Kirsten change their looks a lot. But there has only been one member change in the group when Avi (bass with the beard) was replaced by Matt a few years ago.

[@megjones7860]

Hello Greg, Thanks for doing more PTX. This is Grammy #1 for PTX and so well deserved. Remember this is A Capella. You can see them do this live standing around in what looks like somebody's living room. For more mashups and medleys please react to their "Evolution of" songs (Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Music). For more vocal acrobatics and what they can do with their vocals please react to their cover of Gold. Also Can You Feel the Love Tonight. They have over 200 songs, originals and covers. PTX are masters of their craft - arranging, singing, vocalizing, harmonizing. To see how they work you should watch The Making of Evergreen - a short video on the making of the Evergreen Album in 2021. Moe PTX please.

[@kerryodonnell2036]

Their evolution videos are fantastic! My personal favorite is their Evolution of Rihanna. Enjoy your Pentaholic journey! 😊

[@nana_naniz785]

They are masters at mixing songs! They did win season 3 of the sing off. which was ASTONISHING bc they were only 5 individuals against groups of Atleast 7-30 ppl…. Do the math. & on top of it, it was all LIVE.

[@joannemelahn5456]

Welcome to the rabbit hole!!

[@elysebaker7368]

Love your reactions! I suggest some classics next - either Queens Bohemian Rhapsody or John Lennon’s Imagine. Much Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@annmc3878]

Thanks for the reaction.

[@rebapuck5061]

The sound effects is named Kevin. He played sax at Carnegie Hall at age 17. They asked him to beatbox Beethoven's 5th. He did.

[@davisto256]

Avi Kaplan and K.O are basically Shaq and Kobe, but in A capella. this was for me their best combination. they showed out!!!! PTX Remains the best arrangement of voices ever!

[@imtherapycat]

I absolutely loved your reaction!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@janicesharp9842]

Welcome to the ptx rabbit hole enjoy they are fantastic 👍🏻😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

I love how this one really shows Kevin and him doing his thing so much better than other videos.

[@jefferyshall]

It is a mash up of a bunch of Daft Punk songs. I think they shot it in one of their apartments for like $400 and they won a Grammy for it.

[@michaelrunnels7660]

This video is 5 different songs from the Daft Punk group. At the end they are singing all 5 songs at once. Have you ever stood in a walk-in closet with 4 other people? That is exactly how they recorded this sound for the video. The acoustics were phenomenal. The video was recorded in the kitchen of the same house. It won them a Grammy.

[@buckeyegirl16]

I'll recommend again that u do Bohemian Rhapsody since you've reacted to the original by Queen. You'll be blown away.

[@neblevins9918]

Love how you are discovering and appreciating all music genres

[@iamjenniferjames]

♥ Evolution of Michael Jackson. It won't disappoint.

[@1thomson]

You are absolutely correct: they "put their own twist" on everything they do. They definitely do _not_ want to simply be perfect copies of someone else's original song. Like all true artists, they apply their own musical sensibility to whatever they do, and the result often seems like a whole new song. That's what makes music (and art in general) so great. Another example of reimagining someone else's tune to the point that it sounds brand new is Scott Bradley's ever-changing music collective known as *Postmodern Jukebox* , or PMJ, for short. Just about everything they do is remarkable. So, go check 'em out!

[@AnnieMacFlannie]

Please react to their versions of Amazing Grace, Imagine & The Prayer. You won’t be disappointed!

[@marlanagray6320]

This is several songs put together ❤

[@camillep6873]

this is actually a 7 song mash-up and yes, Sir, they have perfected this, they won their first Grammy for this arrangement

[@hcroussette]

This isn't one song, it's a medley of several Daft Punk songs

[@pattiemartin9253]

Can’t Hold Us

[@jessicadukes2519]

Can't Hold Us us also mind blowing!

[@My2ndnephew]

Mitch Grassi (counter tenor in Pentatonix) did a solo cover of Billy Eilish's song POWER, which is so haunting. Mitch and Scott (baritone) have their own channel called Superfruit, amazing musical and comedy content. Kevin (beatboxer) also has his own channel. His cover of DOWN is a good place to start.

[@amberburris5674]

:) :) :) You make me smile! Great reaction.

[@chrisnoah7868]

Pentatonix is FIRE!

[@tss9886]

Keep in mind they are the undisputed best at what they do. They won the Sing Off and made it work for them.

[@rachel_lee_123]

I’m loving your reactions!

[@bouncinalongdude4816]

never a mixed bag... straight up skills right there!

[@nancyt2848]

I see you just did a Bohemian Rhapsody reaction by Queen. If you want your mind blown, listen to the Pentatonix version. You won’t regret it.

[@ajonteampanalo]

YES ☝️☝️☝️☝️

[@iconoclast67]

I really enjoy your reactions as you appreciate how great what they do is and go back to listen again! Daft Punk is an electronic duo that wrote, produced and mixed music, and have had a huge impact on dance music. This is a medley of some of their most famous songs. PTX are superb at arranging songs too. More recommendations are Love Again (original) Mary Did You Know (cover) Gold (cover) La La Latch (Mashup).Enjoy!

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

That was delish .

[@geraldinegailjavier7064]

The bass here is the same one that you heard on ring of fire. He was the one wearing the beanie and sang really low first. His name is Avi. Thanks for the reaction

[@robladwig4561]

Awesome reaction!

[@dianaspy6733]

Play them All! Havana is great. This one is my favorite! Seen Avi in Dallas December 22! His stuff is good too! This Medley is great! Avi Kaplan is solo now! Floating on a Dream! Excellent!

[@traciesamdal5760]

Just like my Detroit Lions this year. Amazing. Fun to watch. Beyond expectations. And will only improve ALL THE TIME!!!

[@stephaniemccarthy1676]

I my opinion he is the icon of beat box. Brilliant!

[@jonquil6624]

You picked up your water bottle and forgot to open it. Told you to get a seatbelt. Love your reactions !!!
