Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Pentatonix - The Sound of Silence! unbelievable...

[@professionalvampire1]

If you want to have your brain melted, do their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Yes, it's 100% a capella, and Dr Brian May of Queen liked it so much that he shared it on his socials with the caption, "Enjoy".

[@leewagner3559]

Their original cover with Avi!!!!

[@professionalvampire1]

@leewagner3559 Amen! I like the new one, but it's just not the same.

[@shawnaseverinski3219]

If you liked this you GOTTA do their Grammy award winning Daft Punk medley or Bohemian Rhapsody ❤

[@alan-freeman]

Daft Punk When you do "Daft Punk" set yourself up for a double. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7Xloaipd12ptE&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D You will think that there is post production skipping, so to disprove that you need to catch the "Private Performance" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqiXinapfb1-nas&pp=ygUUZGFmdCBwdW5rIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D where they stand at the front of a back-stage room and sing with no mic's and captured on a fan mobile device so the sound is not 100% hence catch the official FIRST.

[@Grace1957-]

YES PLEASE!!!!!

[@pffp6246]

PENTATONIX all day , no disrespect to other groups

[@Spookygirlgardening]

Mary did you know is a must !!! My favorite ❤

[@eileenhiltz6124]

100%

[@tinadixon3463]

ABSOLUTELY 💯

[@chrispatten943]

This!!!

[@emmef7970]

Every time I hear their cover I get teary eyed. Their voices are magnificent. Just brilliant, perfection!

[@andreadeamon6419]

Same as above. I prefer the original sang from the guy who wrote it. Mark lowery. But I do like their version

[@DLF1122]

MARY DID YOU KNOW is my favorite from this group. And it is perfect for this Christmas season.

[@andreadeamon6419]

That one is still my favorite from the writer - mark lowery. Their version is good though

[@TexArizocan]

That's a great one

[@amandalinard9835]

Yes! That is my favorite too! ❤ #eargasim

[@jaxmom9043]

I sent him a super chat asking him to do this song he did respond polity but said he might check it out but wouldn’t promise anything.

[@foxphilesg1fan454]

Their cover of John Lennon's Imagine will blow you away. Not just because of their vocal talents in it, which are stellar, of course. But also because of the message they convey with it. Mary Did You Know is another absolutely beautiful rendition and an added treat because you get to hear Kevin - the beat boxer - get a solo singing part. His voice is just amazing. And yes, they do sound just as good in live performance as they do in the videos.

[@bus6292]

I saw them live last year. They were indeed as good as in the studio

[@hannabertrand4460]

My favorite version!!

[@joshaker2753]

Absolutely

[@amymason5145]

Pentatonix is the BEST out there. No opinions, 1 Emmy, 3 grammys, 5 grammy nominations, and the ultimate star on the walk of fame. My favorite original song is " Love again"

[@kyrasharp7048]

Me too! I freaking love their originals.

[@rebeccasimmers3107]

Oh Come all ye Faithful. A completely different take on it. Amazing!

[@rubyslippers8215]

Their "Mary Did You Know" is pretty awesome, too!

[@carolyncappitelli1460]

It's a party!! He will be dancing in his chair!

[@professionalvampire1]

Definitely second O Come All Ye Faithful. He won't know what hit him!

[@michaelrunnels7660]

Pentatonix does every type of genre you can name including rap, electronic music (Grammy), gospel, country & western (Grammy), dance music, classical music (Grammy), showtunes, and many of their own originals. They sound just as good live as on these videos. They have hundreds of videos on KZbin with over 7 Billion views. They don't do covers, they do upgrades. You really should wear headphones when listening to Pentatonix.

[@BeckiKaylene-x8n]

The prayer will blow you away!

[@gingers.5933]

Their Christmas songs "O 'Come all ye Faithful" and last year's release of O" Holy Night" are mind blowing! Also check out their first Grammy winning song "Daft Punk", they also have a total of 5 Grammy nominations with three wins.

[@threelittlewishes09]

Kiss From A Rose is INSANE by them!!! Just unbelievable!!! Make sure you react -it's their absolute most incredible!!! I don't know how Seal can ever sing it again after their cover!!!!!

[@rubyslippers8215]

Yup! Kevin's cello playing...Whoa!!!!!👍

[@GladiatorInGear]

Yes. Kiss from a rose!

[@Gwennedd]

YES!! Kiss From A Rose!!

[@Contridiction-vp3fv]

I don't know for a fact but I heard that Seal was not only in the building when they recorded their upgrade, but he approved it before they did it. I hope someone can confirm or deny this, but it's what I heard, and that's all I know.

[@GladiatorInGear]

Wow!

[@TwylaCastleschouldt]

Their version of Amazing Grace will touch your soul and give you chills . They are AWESOME ! Also the Prayer will touch you too ! Hits your heart and soul . ❤

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Pentaholic here, I am SO happy to be part of YOUR journey. Little Drummer Boy is one of my favorites, as well. May you have one AMAZING day.

[@connniet3049]

Little Drummer Boy is a fav of mine, Amazing Grace is another it is gorgeous

[@christopherpearce]

They do sound this good live. I was just at their show last night... Melts my brain in happiness!

[@alan-freeman]

Pentatonix a "brief" background. They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that. The founding members are:- Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead); Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”. Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease); Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese). Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on KZbin, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings. Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma. While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his KZbin videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing". Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours! They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on KZbin), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building. But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records. Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on KZbin, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live. Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers. But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label. They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys. Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry. Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group. If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently. It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/onXbepmtm6igh6c&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D. After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre. Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. A good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording. Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They have Grammy wins for Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene featuring Dolly Parton. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Another nomination for Holidays Around the World album in the 2024 list! Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. They married 22/04/24! Not clear how the future is to follow, but Kirstie has announced that she is expecting number 2 in early 2025. Not critical to the groups touring schedule, but Scott, Kevin and Matt are all married. Kevin and Matt with children. They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star! They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23. Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!! 1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to. 2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album. 3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage. 4. It is "Pentatonix" there is no "The".

[@pamelahofman1785]

Excellently written and explained.

[@aznmochibunny]

You did a great job on this! Just adding that Mitch actually skipped his high school graduation to do "The Sing Off".

[@alan-freeman]

@@aznmochibunny IT is already there!! "The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. "

[@blakerh]

Nobody is ready this.

[@TeapotNinja]

I'm not sure #1 has actually been proven, especially after listening to interviews with Boyer. What most people mean when they react vehemently to that is that there is no aggressive pitch-correction. lol There IS post-production on their studio recordings though.

[@sandihannig9836]

I'm 83 and have heard them all. Pentatonix is the BEST EVER! I've even seen them in concert twice. They always have a twist. They work so hard and they are incredible!

[@nickerpsg1]

Home Free and VoicePlay are other terrific Acapella groups, but Pentatonix are on ANOTHER level.in terms of videos, originals concerts, awards, etc. etc. !! OH, they have 22 million subscribers and 8+/- billion views !!

[@JoyL351]

Their original "Love Again' is mind-blowing. It's an EDM-esque song with mad bass and percussion and stunning vocals. It'll knock your socks off!

[@Kari-ud8ji]

Highly recommend; also love Coffee in Bed or the Making of Evergreen for a variety of behind the scenes peaks to their brilliance.

[@waynemcdonald9600]

They do a FABULOUS version of O Holy Night which you should react to between now and Christmas.

[@Gwennedd]

I second that!!

[@ladyshar42]

third that!

[@graceito973]

In order of appearance: 1-Scott, tenor but sings the bass line if the bass singer has the lead 2-Mitch, counter tenor (highest male voice) 3-Matt, bass but can go high too, joined PTX after Avi (2nd singer in Hallelujah) left in 2017 4-Kirstie (rhymes with Thirsty), soprano 5-Kevin, celloboxer, doesn't sing here, but has a high voice when he does get to sing

[@alan-freeman]

Scott is Baritone.

[@marykuettner752]

Scott is a baritone but he can sing tenor or bass. Kirstin is a contralto that can hit A5 considered the top of mezzo range. They all have ridiculously wide ranges. The word for a male using a head voice much higher than their normal range is falsetto.

[@cranberrysauce61]

@@marykuettner752 slight correction, falsetto is just a method to increase ones range. not only pertaining to males (granted male singers do tend to use it more than female)

[@mel3268]

Their originals should be on the radio, they’re so good. And yes, they sound that good live. They regularly sell out large venues like last week’s sold out Madison Square Garden (22,000 seats) concert.

[@ms.lisamarie82]

Mary Did you know is my favorite from the Group..90s Dance Mashup and the MJ Medley are probably tied for my 2nd. Really awesome group.

[@yalandafish]

Mary did you know is amazing and beautifully sung by them. I fully recommend that song!!!! I also recommend the song radioactive by pentatonic with Lindsey Sterling which is another amazing song.

One of my faves they do.

[@hollykinslow5193]

Pentaholics are a FORCE! They have been together for 14 yrs! The three in the middle went to high school together!

[@ECM24]

Pentaholics or Pentatonix? because PentaHOLICS are the fans. still a force, though. applies to both.

[@brandonkane416]

Kevin Olusola is the beatboxer. You should check out his remix he does of Marian Hill- Down. He creates everything live he is super talented!

[@FayolaOnline]

I 2nd this!

[@joshaker2753]

Absolutely!

[@wireframebox]

I saw them live in London a number of years ago and they are that good live. At the end of the show, they got everyone to come close and be quiet and did a track with no PA, just natural accustics and it was phenominal.

[@professionalvampire1]

More PTX! Yay! There's nothing better than Pentatonix reactions. The Pentaholics will flock to your channel - we love people who love PTX! And yes, please do Little Drummer Boy!

[@rubyslippers8215]

Yup! PTXs Christmas music performs such a wonderful new take on the classic holiday songs.

[@Kari-ud8ji]

I recommend Prayers for this World or Silent Night as two additional Christmas songs. But I love New Rules x Are you that Somebody for crazy beats and bass. LaLaLatch is a close runner up! Thank you for all your reactions and introducing everyone to so many various artists and genre of music.

[@trentsayers951]

Love the pentatonix reactions! Keep em coming!

[@catherinelopresti7121]

Carol of The Bells is another one you should do from them. There is sooo much going on with that one and it is also known as "when does Mitch breathe". Actually, anything you choose, you will not be disappointed. Want to do one with an EDM vibe, try their original, Love Again. Avi and Kevin kill it with the bass drops! Want a Grammy winner, Daft Punk, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy, or Jolene (that one is with Dolly Parton).

[@shilohauraable]

React to a live version of Carol of the Bells from a recent annual Christmas concert. They are fantastic & Mitch's breath control is awesome! ❤️

[@aura81295]

"Little Drummer Boy" was my introduction to Pentatonix. I appreciate their talent and skill in a lot of what they do as an acapella group. They are outstanding. But I agree with your wife maybe because it was the first time I heard them. But there is something so magical about their performance of "Little Drummer Boy".

[@anglstampr1]

Same here

[@jeanelliott3395]

In order of appearance, Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Matt Salle, and Kirsten Maldonado. Scott, Mitch and Kirsty grew up together in Texas. Matt took the place of Avi Kaplan in 2017. Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer and a phenomenal cellist. I would recommend reacting to Aha! live in Singapore. My favorite Christmas song from them is Mary Did You Know

[@richdiddens4059]

Once in a while Kevin joins in singing tenor or one of the sweetest falsettos around.

[@andreadeamon6419]

I prefer the original from the guy who wrote it. Especially if you watch his older recordings and live.

Please check out the older covers they did with Avi in the group. Avi has his own channel

So glad you've discovered them, Black Pegasus!! Trust me when I say, this is a tiny FRACTION of their talent and range.. it's truly amazing what they can do. Enjoy! Honestly, the tenor that you're hearing (Mitch) .. his range is ENORMOUS! Kevin is the beat-boxer and he also sings and plays the cello. They have some original work as well. Some of their Christmas stuff sounds like a symphony.. it's beyond.. nothing like becoming aware of this gift of a group.

[@amyperkins2008]

They won a show called The Singoff. It was a competition show solely for acapella groups. They're were so many amazing acapella groups in the few years that the show ran. Please react to Home Free feat/Lee Greenwood "God bless the USA". You really can't compare the two. They are just so different, but both groups are amazing.

[@susanbeattie9466]

They ABSOLUTELY sound this good live!!!!!!!!!!

[@AmyReindl]

I’ve heard it said that Simon and Garfunkel stoked the fire, Disturbed blew it up and exploded the anger, and Pentatonix has left us with hope again.

[@bethanyburr]

S&G have said the Disturbed cover is better than their own original lol. Most current covers are covering the Disturbed version (where David D took the vocals on a j-o-u-r-n-e-y beyond what S&G imagined).

[@marykuettner752]

You know it's Christmas when Pentatonix fills the air! They are the official signal that the Christmas season has begun! ❤️ 🎄🎠🌟🤶 They have quite a few high quality videos of their live performances from their annual Christmas concerts (which are happening now!) that you would enjoy! And - Yes! They sound that good live! And give a 1 hour or more extremely high energy performance which includes audience interaction! They are amazing! I'd recommend a live performance of "Joyful, Joyful!" 🎶 🎶 🎶

imo, Pentatonix is the most versatile of the talented lot of acapela groups.. Their Christmas catalog is huge, I think over 90 songs. Kings & Queens of the Holiday. There are many great suggestions before me, but don't miss out on Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. They won a Grammy as an acapella group doing a song without lyrics.

Can confirm, they sound this good live. Seen them twice in concert, once from the 5th row and once from the 1st row. There is NOTHING fake about them! Drummer Boy is good, but my absolute favorite Christmas songs by them are O Holy Night and Kiss From a Rose. They've actually been on two singing shows. They won The Sing-Off in 2011 and made it to the semi-finals on The Masked Singer a few years ago.

I think The Masked Singer appearance was just a publicity stunt as they were going on tour during the last bit of that season, right?

[@markreagan6690]

The Sing-Off was the competition they were in and it will blow you away a must reaction to get to know them

[@annebrown8359]

I love the little drummer boy can't wait

[@kkech7150]

When Pentatonix revealed themselves on Masked singer i was soooooooooooooooo fan girling. I couldn't believe it. They are so incredible.

[@tigerrswan7418]

OMG please go down this rabbit hole. The bass voice did change the original guy Omni moved on but his replacement is awesome. Listen to them live and you will be just as impressed. I suggest Hallelujah as your next reaction!! Thank you for keeping me entertained !! and

[@professionalvampire1]

The original bass was Avi Kaplan, and his solo music is spectacular. I highly recommend starting with Change on the Rise and just going from there.

[@rubyslippers8215]

@@professionalvampire1 Yeah, I really miss Avi. The evolution of his solo career has been quite interesting to follow. Never thought he'd go country. "Change on the Rise" is so powerful. I liked the light-hearted stuff he did as Avriel and the Sequoias, and his kind of mystical stuff, too. His "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" collaboration with Peter Hollens was wonderful.

​@@rubyslippers8215Its really sad when you think about it the fact that a lot of Pentatonix fans left the fandom after he left. They were really only Avi fans.

[@reneea.638]

Their voices and sound effects always bring tears to my!

[@MommaBird52]

Comparing those two are like being asked who's your favorite child. The percussion is coming from Kevin Olusalo, whom I refer to as Special K! You need to watch Kevin's 5th and his KOver of Down to see a true master at work. And they do sound this good live! Check out their cover of Imagine. They do have originals. And their Christmas music is fantastic. They were winners of season 3 of Sing-Off and Home Free won season 4.

Carol of the bells Pentatonix blew my mind when I first heard it.

[@laurelwenson928]

They absolutely sound this good live...

[@annmonaghan4360]

Pentatonix is the best for me.

[@HannahSBax]

It's not a competition. PTX and HF are both great within their own style. I'm a Pentaholic AND a HomeFry

[@TheInkdN3rd]

A PentaFry 🫶🫶🫶

[@HannahSBax]

@TheInkdN3rd or a Homaholic😆

[@TexArizocan]

I'm a Pentaholic, but I love Home Free's Butts Remix and also them getting Lee Greenwood with their cover of God, Bless the USA, with the US military.

[@TheInkdN3rd]

@@HannahSBax I like that one!!!!!!!

[@jzekas21]

They are this good live I have seen them in concert!! ❤❤

[@patlittle2881]

Pentatonix RULES a Cappella!!!

[@britanydavis8123]

I LOVE Home Free!!! I've never heard of them until I saw your reaction to one of their songs

[@ladyknight2362]

Woohoo! I have never been available to comment so early. I love this song. I love your reactions and your matter of fact way. Thanks.😁I have now watched this react and I love Pentatonix Drummer Boy and Mary Did You Know but I have to say I like Disturbed's Sound of Silence a bit better. Between Pentatonix and Home Free I choose Home Free. I love 98% of their songs. I would love to hear your reaction to Pentatonix Mary Did You Know and Home Free's Champagne Taste (On a Beer Budget) .

[@rubyslippers8215]

I believe Tim wrote "Champagne Taste". So funny, love it.

[@sweetvampy5303]

pentatonix of course is my favorite group ever and i listen to there christmas music from halloween to a week after christmas

[@gwydion56]

I am a fan of both Home Free and Pentatonix, and either one is great at what they do. But Pentatonix has the greater breadth of songs they have absolutely killed. Not going to go wrong with anything they do.

[@ShaySwag18]

They won Season 3 of an a capella show called “The Sing Off”. The videos are still on YT, you should react to those from beginning to end as well. Their growth on that show and then to see where they are now 🤯 Also, Home Free won Season 4

[@preppermedic6568]

Kevin can do percussion/beatbox and play the Chello simultaneously…….look up Chelloboxing

[@sandrasmith7091]

Whoa never heard cover. It's phenomenal. Breathless, speechless 😮

[@reneelynch4485]

You gotta hear Home Free & Pentatonix together - Johnny Cash cover Ring of Fire...

[@victoriaburch1367]

ANY song by PTX is fire. Pentatonix is the absolute BEST!
