Pentatonix - 90s Dance Medley (Brits Reaction!!!)

[@BritPopsReact]

Hit that like button if you would be so kind :) ....Thanks for watching... we are 150 miles apart in lockdown so we record our reactions remotely so maybe not a slick as others!... All our reactions are genuine unlike some other channels, you wont find those cheesy fake shocked thumbnail faces either!.. We are a couple of Brits reacting to music and your requests. Thanks for watching :)

[@Bonofox1]

😄👉They did auto tune to pay tribute to Cher other than that NO AUTO TUNE is needed by them!! DISCOVER MORE AND YOU'LL BE I.M.P.R.E.S.S.E.D!!! PENTATONIX is BY FAR the GREATEST Acapella group IN THE WORLD!!

[@YT-channel42]

You let me down there a little lads - you must have heard the original 'Cher - Believe' at some point on the radio? kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIu7g4lqgsqte9k

[@BritPopsReact]

@A Miller Hey, yes of course we have 😄, I think that is what prompted my colleague to say they must have used a bit of autotune, nothing negative was meant by it, but he was right. Thanks for watching and let's see where we go next, we have no idea!!

[@BritPopsReact]

@Algimantė Danilaitė We will look into more of that as we do appreciate a good beatboxer. Thank you for the comment, D-Low....okaayyy

PTX is the Master Class Acapella group. Welcome to the journey of becoming a Pentaholic! You'll see your subscribers increase and will learn everything you need to know from us Pentaholics! Lol...keep 'em coming gentlemen

[@taniareads8751]

The AutoTune was only to pay homage to Cher who used autotune in this song - they do not need it in any other song. To hear them live, maybe see them as they complete their European tour in 2022 after the covid virus interupted it in 2019/2020. They are amazing and do not make any song in the studio that they can't do live.

[@ShadowSoul92]

I believe there is a version of Hallelujah in live concert on KZbin ... not if it would be okay as an example of them singing live, but, it's with the original band ... so no Matt for the base ...

[@velvetra29]

"Where's the instruments come from?" "It's from the two gentlemen right there." Always gets me.

[@BritPopsReact]

@David Dadoali Thank you for the comment and for checking out our reactions. Hope you enjoy and feel free to have a look around, we go all over the place.

[@tajaybarker7184]

When you do their hallelujah check the live version as well it’s incredible

[@ellabiri2684]

I agree, they do always make songs that they can preforme just as good live! Halleluja is mindblowing.🤯 Halleluja is their most viewed video of all time and it has over 600 million viewes.😮

[@rashelj8220]

This was going to be my suggestion as well. I suggest a double feature: watch the video of Hallelujah, and then watch the live version (from a Pentatonix Christmas Special). FYI: Hallelujah has their original Base singer Avi, who helped them pick Matt as his replacement when personal circumstances made touring so heavily difficult for him.

This was the first time PTX ever used autotune, and only to honor the original song... Not because any of their voices needed correcting! And they have had several world tours!

[@jamesensley3906]

Kevin Olusola is the one who makes the vocal percussion sounds to mimic drums, cymbals, etc. This is called beatboxing. He is one of the best at this skill. P.S. They did use some electronic sounds, especially in the Cher song, to honor her use of this type of musical sound.

[@sydneysaurus88]

Only auto-tune though, the rest of the effects are all them!

[@donny1960]

Great reaction. Pentatonix IS a Capella. They do not use instruments most of the time. Now and then Kevin plays the Cello. And there is a piano used in their Christmas song "Thank You". I have been to their live concerts and they are amazing. There is some "production" used on their videos, especially this one. Auto Tune and other "electronic filters" were used a lot in the '90's and PTX pays homage to those sounds in this Medley. The three main singers, Scott (Blond), Mitch (Dark Hair, High Voice), and Kirstie (Girl), all grew up together in Texas. They were Choir "Nerds" and involved in Community Theater. The formed PTX along with Kevin, and original Bass Avi, to compete on the "Sing Off". (Matt joined after Avi left in 2017). They won, and after being dropped by the record label formed their You Tube Channel and the rest is history. They have won 3 Grammy's (The US Record Industries highest honor) and have sold millions of records. They also tour most of the year. (before Covid). Please react to more of Pentatonix (PTX). They are amazing.

[@heidifruchtl354]

Yup, group with no instruments + song with no words = Grammy #2. Watch dance of the sugar plum fairy

[@LisaMT1218]

You must check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" "Hallelujah" "Sound of Silence" They have many albums including original music. There has only been one change in the group in 10 years with the bass Matt Sallee replacing Avi Kaplan in 2017 Scott Hoying Baritone Kevin Olusola tenor beatboxer cellist. Mitch Grassi tenor and Kirstin Maldonado mezzo soprano. Mitch and Kirstie change their appearance often, but it is always them.

[@Karen-Campos]

Pentatonix has redefined a capella for the entire music industry! Welcome down the rabbit hole! With a decade together their catalog is wide and deep! Dive in anywhere! No instruments unless you see them! My current fav is Amazing Grace!

[@ubermac85]

The auto-tune is ONLY for the effect that Cher used. They do NOT use or need auto-tune to correct their voices LOL. Everything you hear, other than studio effects is their voices. Mitch: Counter Tenor Kirsten: Mezzo Soprano Scott: Baritone Matt: Bass Kevin: Beatbox / Tenor / Cello

[@df5199]

It’s great to see first time reactors to Pentatonix. The look on your faces when Mitch hits those high notes is what we Pentaholics call “Mitch face”. The autotune is only used here when the the original artist used it. Recommend their Sound of Silence video.

[@katmbbaker7804]

Pentatonix is well known for not singing any song that they cannot perform live. The best way to compare there performances between recorded and live is to watch their Hallelujah video and the live performance for a Christmas special on TV. The two performances sound almost exactly the same. There is no auto tune or musical instruments except occasionally Kevin will play the Cello.

[@davidphillips4476]

Auto tuning was done as an Homage to the first person to ever do it , it's called the Cher effect, from the song Believe. They were long long before pitch perfect!!! They may have inspired Pitch Perfect. Crazy thing PTX doesn't do anything they can't reproduce on stage live. Hallelujah next..do the official video, then do their live version..Also check out Gold they just sit in front of mikes and perform.

[@vilmariehernandez6726]

Hallelujah live it’s your prove

[@davidbangtson3109]

The auto=tune of Cher's big hit was allowed as an exception to their normal practice of not allowing that level of manipulation. Loved hearing your reaction as PTX newbies. You'll learn so much more as you do more of their songs.

They have a live version of Hallelujah that is great. There has been one member change in ten years. The original bass Avi left for personal family reasons. He helped find Matt his replacement. Any song you choose will not disappoint you. They have multiple Christmas albums. A few albums of covers and 2 albums of original music. Any instruments used will be shown in the video.

[@EliaKay1]

That’s a internet myth. Avi played no part if finding or training Matt. The band hired an outside producer to lead the search for a new bass. Matt was chosen out of a field of 50 basses.

[@Bonofox1]

You neglected Mary Did You Know?, The Prayer, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Wizard of Aahs. There is also Say Something. Don't forget about the episodes from the SingOff. Those are worthy of a watch. Additionally, there are a number of Evolution of videos as well.

[@Maerahn]

Yes, it is all done by the voices of the Pentatonix members, yes, they do sound just as good live as they do in their videos, and yes, they have toured extensively in Europe and the US for many years. They write their own songs as well as doing covers (can recommend 'Love Again,' 'Coffee In Bed,' 'Happy Now' for starters.) For their covers, fan favourites are 'Daft Punk Medley,' 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (given the seal of approval by no less than Brian May of Queen,) 'The Sound of Silence,' 'Can't Hold Us,' 'When The Party's Over' - and a gazillion more... Mitch Grassi (natural counter-tenor guy) changes his look A LOT, but he's always there - if you find yourself asking "Is that Mitch?" the answer is usually 'yes.' The only actual member change is the bass guy - Matt Sallee in this video. He replaced the original bass member Avi Kaplan in 2017; Avi left amicably, due to burnout and family problems, and helped the band choose Matt to replace him. (Avi will be the bearded guy in earlier videos you see.) Kevin is the group's beatboxer, who also plays the cello in some of their songs (while beatboxing at the same time - he's ridiculously talented.) Scott Hoying is the baritone, but he also covers bass when the bass takes a lead vocal - his vocal range is insane. And Kirstie Maldonado is really starting to come into her own now - to begin with she rarely took a lead vocal, but over the years her confidence has grown. Pentatonix has a mahoosive fan base - do reactions to them, and you're pretty much guaranteed a legion of subscribers! It's also a magical rabbit-hole to fall down, and the journey will be well worth it. 😁

I'm a fellow Brit. I found PTX back in 2012. In the early days, I managed to see them twice on their various European tours. Nowadays, they're sold out before I can get a ticket! When they released "Daft Punk", even I thought they'd never be able to do it live. How wrong was I! Welcome to the PTX Rabbit Hole :-D

[@BritPopsReact]

@Greybeard101 Wow, you really did catch them early, I guess if you know about them, you keep an eye out for tour dates. We had no idea they existed and it was only from a comment that we decided to check them out. So glad we did, that was a right "enjoyment fest". We will be back with more from them, hummm very soon.

Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie were childhood friends, went to school in Texas and sang together in choir and glee clubs, which explains why they can harmonize so well ... They also pray before every performance, which might explain their incredible talent.

[@stephenlabarre7890]

A brief introduction to Pentatonix (aka PTX): A five member acapella (no instrument) group. They sing covers of pop songs and have several Christmas albums in their catalog. They've also put out two albums of original material, one just released February 12, 2021 (The Lucky Ones). The original five band members were Scott, Kirstin (aka Kirstie), Mitch, Kevin and Avi. Scott, Kirstin and Mitch knew each other from high school in Texas, USA. They formed the group in 2011, adding Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer). They auditioned, competed and won season 3 of the television show The Sing-Off. They've also won multiple awards over the years including three Grammys. While viewing PTX videos spanning a decade, it may appear that there has been several personel changes due to their ever-changing appearances, Kirstin and Mitch in particular. The fact is; only one member has changed. Of the five original members, four are still in the group. Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced with Matt. While performing as an acappella group since they formed, they occasionally introduce instruments such as piano (played by Scott) and cello (played by Kevin). They've also included vocals and instrumentals played by featured guests. Most of their 'instrumental' sounds however, are created by Kevin, their very talented beatboxer along with baselines performed by Avi, Matt and Scott. While performing together as a five-member group, they also have individual works worth investigating. There's so much more information 'Penta-holics' can add to this list. Just ask and they will respond. Enjoy!

[@perrystevenson6364]

welcome to the wonderful world of pentatonix. First a brief history. they won the show sing off i believe in 2011. also the original members included mitch, kirsten, scott, kevin(beat boxer) and avi (bass)...avil left after a few yrs to take care of his ailing mother and couldn't tour as much so avi helped pentatonix find their current bass (matt). They are 98% acapella but they do have some videos with kevin who also plays the cello. They've won 3 grammys for their covers of daft punk, dance of the sugar plum fairies, jolene w/ dolly parton. Other covers are bohemian rhapsody(quite simply the best cover of that classic rock song), wizard of ahhhs (a montage of 16 songs made to tell the story of the wizard of oz), mad world, royals, hallelujah, sounds of silence, radioactive, imagine, god rest ye merry gentlemen, little drummer boy, gold, problem, say something, attention, cant hold us....there are so many great covers...too many to list..but this is a start. They also do originals...some include...sing, love again, happy now, love me when i dont, coffee in bed, be my eyes, a little space and the lucky ones. also they made an album during the pandemic recorded entirely in their own homes...recorded seperately thru zoom and mixed.. each of the parts they sang they did without hearing the other members doing their parts....songs include home, blinding lights, break my heart, dreams, when the party's over. Please do more pentatonix reactions. thanks and be safe in these troubled times.

[@saurius]

I really enjoyed your reaction to Pentatonix! When you do the Daft Punk reaction you should do both the official video and then right after do the private performance video. The private performance is with no microphones so you can really hear how impressive they are. In Daft Punk they have their original bass singer, Avi, he left the group in 2017 and was replaced by Matt. That is the only change in the group. Mitch and Kirstie change their looks frequently in the videos, so even if you think it’s someone new, it’s not. You should also watch their performance of Hallelujah. The official video has over 600 million views. They also have a live version. Official video performance Daft Punk: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX7Xloaipd12ptE Live private performance Daft Punk: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqiXinapfb1-nas Kevin, the beatboxer, also sings in some of the videos and occasionally plays the cello. He has his own KZbin channel and has done some amazing covers. Mitch just released a cover of Billie Eilish’s Your Power on his KZbin channel that is breathtaking. Scott and Mitch have a side KZbin channel called Superfruit. They also released a couple of albums and have music videos for those. Kirstin also has her own KZbin channel and has released a solo album.

[@ShadowSoul92]

In some songs (for example Cher's Believe) they used auto tune as a tribute, as Cher used it in her song. They generally do not need to use auto tune. They use it on occasion, especially as a tribute to the original artists.

[@Nonniewantsmore]

They have 3 Grammys including their Daft Punk Medley. As Brits you have to check out Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May shared it with his followers. You can’t ask for more than his approval. 😢

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

[@perfectkismet]

PTX actually made an appearance in Pitch Perfect 2 as the Canadian team. I think others have drilled down on the fact, but the autotune in this particular song wasn't used to fix their voices, but instead as homage to the original. They released this song during the pandemic so there aren't any live versions to compare - but if you do the Daft Punk video (which is also dance-y with heavy beats, but features their original bass) you can compare it to a live no-mic version done for VIPs in a greenroom before a concert. Mindblowing. PTX also has a world tour on hold for the pandemic and should be in Europe next year.

[@perfectkismet]

This is the off-mic Daft Punk mashup performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqiXinapfb1-nas I would seriously suggest a double review, doing the official video and then this VIP performance directly afterward. Fans love that, and it's great for new reactors to compare for themselves, as well.

[@larrywt656]

Kirstie has the voice of an angel and doesn't need autotune to "smooth out" her voice. It was used here as an homage to Cher, who was the first artist ever to use autotune as an artistic effect instead of a correction measure in this very song. They use some studio effects such as reverb and EQ on their recordings, but they never use any corrective measures. For most of their history, they've had a rule that they wouldn't record any songs that they couldn't completely faithfully reproduce live on stage. Their last few recordings have eased up on that rule somewhat, but not dramatically. In addition to Daft Punk, I would suggest Hallelujah, The Sound of Silence, Imagine, Amazing Grace, and their originals Love Again, Sing and anything off their recent all-original album The Lucky Ones. They also have a ton of Christmas music (half of their albums are Christmas albums) where they completely change the arrangements of traditional Christmas songs to make almost totally new songs out of them. But literally, anything you listen to of theirs, you really can't go wrong. This is a VERY deep rabbit hole to dive into, but one that is well worth the dive. And we fans, the Pentaholics, will follow you along the way!

And yes, they are all individual lead singers. If you watch more, I suggest "Hallelujah," which features their original bass, Avi Kaplan, a classically trained basso profundo. They've only had one member change in 10 years, when Avi had to leave in 2017 for personal reasons, and helped the group find his replacement, Matt Sallee. Please, more Pentatonix!

I hope you react to more PTX - I would suggest their covers of Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can you Feel the Love tonight... and so many more! Oh and My Favourite Things.....

[@pattis2641]

Congrats on find PTX, and their fans, Pentaholics!!! You're about to travel down the rabbit hole of their many, many hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, Hallelujah, and my favorite, Can You Feel The Love Tonight!!! They also have several original hits, including their newest album, The Lucky Ones!

[@BritPopsReact]

@Patricia Shope Thank you for the lovely comment, we shall enjoy

[@conniebokma6800]

Sound of silence is a good watch

[@elainecourteau6231]

It’s an earful heh guys?!! PTX is just fantastic. Glad you enjoyed it. I saw them live in 2014 and they are just as good than their recordings. Can’t wait to see you react to more. It’s ALL good. Just a note that the original bass 2011-2017 was Avi Kaplan and since 2017 Matt Sallee, just so you are not confused if you watch earlier videos. Please do so. I’m sure you will enjoy it. 🤗

Nickname is in bad taste to mention for a Jewish man you know?

[@crystalclear2425]

They did a version of thrift shop in the airport over the intercom. Look it up you won’t believe it!

[@ryanje8147]

guys.....Pentatonix has been around for 10 years. Where you guys been? Pentatonix is an awesome acapella group. More of them, please. Thanks.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Ryan Je Yup, we know we said that in the reaction, they have been around since 2011, we never watched Pitch Perfect or hung out where acapella fans hang out, nothing personal. We just listen to different music at that time, we also missed many other bands and had the same reaction. We don't all swim in the same pong I guess. Thanks for watching. We should check out more as it was hugely entertaining and hard to process on a first watch. There is so much going on it's hard to process on the first watch, having watched it back in the edit and once released you see and hear more things each time. Fab!! Have you heard of Band-Maid, Lovebites, Nightwish, we hadn't until just over a month ago?

[@chenmd16]

Yes, Daft Punk is another awesome video done by Pentatonix; it is another mashup. Truly anything done by Pentatonix is amazing. If you want to hear more about what some can do with beatboxing, you can watch Adam Rupp's drum solo (completely done with his voice). Adam Rupp is the beatboxer of an acapella group, Home Free. Pentatonix's beatboxer Kevin is just as amazing.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Wendy Chen Thank you for the comment, we will look to do more from PTX soon. We have not heard of Adam Rupp, so we will also look into that too.

[@johnwarwick6284]

dont forget their bohemiam rhapsody complete with mitch donig the guitar break AMAZING !!

[@michellebarry1555]

They’ve had a number of world tours, they were in the middle of a tour when COVID shut down our industry (I work at a concert arena). I’ve seen them live a few times and they are incredible. They sound just as good, if not better, than their videos. I will subscribe in hopes you react to more PTX ☺️

[@TheMerkilan]

Look up Pentatonix on The Sing off season 3 to see how they are on stage. That is when they were competing to win. They blew everyone out of the water every single show. I got to see them live in Alabama when they did a christmas show with the Mobile Symphony Orchestra.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Vinya Merkilan Hello and thank you for watching. Thank you for the information, that does sound interesting. We will be back soon with more from PTX

[@ptxlover6878]

What a joy to watch your faces 😊 Please do more from them, it's a wild journey! 😃👍

[@BritPopsReact]

@PTX Lover68 Thank you for the comment, we really enjoyed them.👍

[@lordwalker71]

Scott and Mitch also have their own KZbin channel called super fruit and they put out an ep a couple of years ago with instruments. The auto tune was because Cher used auto tune in her version.

[@maxiem3679]

I would highly suggest you check their evolution of Micheal Jackson. You can see a live take on Kevin's amazing beatboxing and their harmonies. Please give it a try!! 🙏

[@BritPopsReact]

@Maxie M Really, ohhh we do like a bit of MJ, that would be very interesting to watch. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@trishradloff8817]

They are a 3 time Grammy award winning Accepella group. They actually are pre Pitch Perfect. They have been to the UK., sorry you missed them.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Trish Radloff No worries, we can catch up now and get to enjoy hearing for the first time. Thanks for watching.

[@nycmate]

You are in for an amazing ride if you continue diving into PTX. I’m here for it, and I assure you a boatload of my fellow Pentaholics are as well!

[@BritPopsReact]

@nycmate Yup, we got the full luxury cruise liner load!! Back soon with more PTX

[@LunaDillard]

You mentioned the Pitch Perfect movies - This band played a role in Pitch Perfect 2 - as the Canadian team.

[@susanbradley5685]

There are tons of videos of them doing live performances that sound exactly what they do in the studio. Aha, Light in the hallway, etc. They have lots if live concert videos on youtube from their 2016 world tour.

[@DF-uo9ku]

Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole.

[@invecta18]

HI Guys, Here in the US sometime around 2010, there was a movement ( or trend guess) to start singing A Capella and I think it stated in the High Schools and carried over into the Colleges . It spawned the Television program called the "Sing Off " that was a competition show for A Capella groups similar to "American Idol" which is a popular singing competition show here in the USA. I do not know if this trend carried over to Europe or not. You would probably know if it did living over there. It also spawned 3 movies ( Pitch Perfect ) centering around colleges with A Capella groups and competitions. Pentation actually performed in one of those movies. There was also a show called "Glee" on night time TV here that was singing oriented, but not necessary all A Capella , but some was. These have all fallen by the wayside today , but still you can major in a A Capella curriculum in many of the colleges here and there are still many A Capella groups in the high schools and colleges as well as organized A Capella competition events. I do not know if this carried over to Europe or not. Pentatonix is sort of the gold standard of these groups and they will not disappoint you.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Phil Barry Hello and thank you for the great information. I was wondering which way around it all started, if it was the Pitch Perfect movies that spawned the "Sing off" tv show or the other way around. We of course had all the movies over here and I think I watched perhaps the first two, I also managed to catch Anna Kendrick on the James Corden show, there was also a young group of guys James Corden used to get on as the acappela backing group he used when doing the sings off's I cant remember their name but they were good. IT may have picked up a bit of momentum over here at the time, but I suppose if your not really tuned in, it sort of passes you by, and also the "Glee" show was massive for a while, but we did not take too much notice of it. That's very interesting about being able to take a major in it in college, that's very good. As we said, we are very late to the show with Pentatonix and only found them by chance as we had some comments to check them out. They really are very talented and entertaining, we will revisit them soon. Thanks for watching.

A cappella (singing without instrumental accompaniment) has been around WAY longer than since 2010 (wiki says as old as humanity). In the U.S., collegiate a cappella had its origins in the late 1800s and grew throughout the 20th century.

[@NilZed1]

We lived in a college town and used to take our kids to see the college accappella groups back in the 90s because it was free. they probably still have the cassette tapes they begged for. these groups came out of the glee clubs that were a fad at colleges back in the 20s. the concept stuck around at colleges, it was square and geeky from the hippy era until, well, I guess the 2000s .

[@davidowens1132]

Cher did the auto tuning sound on purpose in her song and they just recreated it perfectly.

[@TheHankamer]

Great fellows. They will be in Britain next year. Because of Covid, Pentatonix had to cancel their world tour concerts the last 2 years. I believe they will be in London in the late spring or early summer. As far as a live performance check out "Hallelujah" from one of their Christmas Specials or the music video which has 600+ million views.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Henry Rittichier Thank you for the comment, we will keep an eye for them when they Tour the UK again. We will return for more PTX soon. Thanks for watching.

[@Jskew]

Hi new Pentaholics, I always recommend you go back and do their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. That is how they got their start and it really introduces you to the original members and they are live performances. It also gives you their background. They changed a capella forever. In joy the around 150 songs you can go listen to. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

[@BritPopsReact]

@Jskew That sounds like a great idea, we should go back and watch those shows to get a better idea of who they all are. Well said. Thanks for the comment and for watching.

[@06s091]

They actually have done shows in the UK. They were supposed to be back last year, but those were postponed till this year and have just been postponed again sadly.

[@BritPopsReact]

@06s091 Thank you for the comment, we will keep an eye out for them and see how they get on once they return.

[@angiepeterson1282]

I loved your reaction! It’s funny you mentioned Pitch Perfect as an example , Their arranger, Ben Bram worked on those films and Pentatonix did a cameo in the second film ( they performed as Canada’s team ) at the Worlds.😃

[@BritPopsReact]

@Angie Peterson Thank you for the fun fact, we like those here. More from PTX soon. Thanks for watching

[@NeilOosthuizen]

I am still amazed by them years after discovering them :)

[@janetburrows137]

Kevin the beatboxer, Matt is the bass.❤❤❤

[@TheYellowAjah]

Thanks very much for this reaction! It’s always exciting to see people begin their Pentatonix journey. You are definitely in for a treat! There are so many songs out there for you to try… A few suggestions for your next ones, beyond Daft Punk: Imagine, Hallelujah, Problem, La La Latch
