You got it right. The use of auto tune was a throwback to honor the original use by Cher.

[@dianaklatt9968]

part of why I have so much respect for PTX

[@cassreel]

Believe by Cher is credited as the first song released to use autotune, so they probably wanted to pay homage to that by still using a vocoder even though they are known for just using their voices! :)

[@heidi_d]

To specify, Cher was the first to use autotune in a song - for effect. Yeah, it was a total homage! 😍

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

Couldn’t have done it justice without it

[@cyanidepanda]

I was coming to say this 😂 it was definitely an artist choice by them for sure 🙌🏻

[@maevelousemory]

They don't usually use autotune!! They're using it here because the rise of autotune in the 90s was such a big thing, honestly I love it and think it adds to the effect of the medley!

[@Lina_unchained]

It's also very specific as a tribute to believe by Cher because it was the first song ever credited to use auto-tune in that particular way as a vocal effect rather than a pitch corrector

[@heidi_d]

BTW, if you like Todrick Hall, he collabbed with them to do “The Wizard of Aaahs” - it’s The Wizard of Oz told in a pop song montage and is FANTASTIC in almost every possible way music and video can be.

[@sparkers70]

I love it when someone else geeks out as much as me when PTX does one of their medleys that brings back great memories 😊

[@kathyk3918]

They have started to experiment with different sounds including effects on their vocals. This is apparent in their latest album of originals The Lucky Ones. I think you would find that their sound is constantly evolving, but the main focus is always the vocals. This was a fun reaction and it warms my heart to see you listening to PTX again.

[@Lina_unchained]

The reason that they did it here is that believe by Cher was the first song ever credited to use Auto Tune in this Way. It's so amazing the way that they pay tributes to artists even while keeping their own spin on it.

[@vickiroman189]

This is 5+ minutes of pure joy for me. And seeing your joy made it even better!

[@gregseagler5111]

Exactly the same for me!

[@Bobal27]

The eye roll into, “fine, let’s groove, I guess” movements on Blue was such a mood.

[@janetburrows137]

Every reviewer gets down and boogies in there chair. But I’ve a couple of you reviewers get up and dance. You honestly can’t help it. 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇧👏🇬🇧👏👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧

[@wharkkyryhniann8023]

I thank you Mr. Steven for having the best reaction and commentary on this song, and you prove once again that NO ONE can hear this and NOT dance (in their chair). Good job!

[@donnone7295]

PTX just did a mini tour in Nov and Dec, ending in Texas so they were home for the Holidays. Matt just got married and Kevin and his wife had their first child in April 2021. Kevin had the Best Father's Day in 2021. They are indeed human and if a mistake is made, someone else will cover it in concert or they do another take. Penta=5 for 5 members and based on the Pentatonic Scale. They post on Social Media and even did a few TikTok videos for fans to sing along. Careful how far you dive into this rabbit hole. There are even a couple of PentaCon's [conference with their parents. 2016 had a video message from Avi's Mom. The 2018 conference included Matt's Mom, Dad and sister as well as Kevin's Mom, Dad and sister. Scott's parents, Mitch's parents and Kirstin's Mom.

[@ShaneSpears6969]

Loved watching U bop. 90s dance music. Is the best music ever. That, and 70s DISCO close 2nd. Just Fun music. Plus I was heavily into the club scene in the 90s here in Sydney.

[@wakko701]

I still come back to this video because as an 80's baby, this was my jam.... and love the ink!!

[@janetburrows137]

Also. I love the seamless transition between songs. Come on. You can’t deny it’s flipping SMOOTH. 🤷‍♀️🙏👏❤️🇬🇧

[@Karen-Campos]

They are branching out. They have now released separate songs with not only Kevins cello, but a piano and guitar. I was able to attend the last concert of the Evergreen Tour last month & Scott said, “We are using a few instruments. Progress, I know!” Their Deluxe The Lucky Ones album is full of creativity & barrier pushing, using recorded vocals that are layered. I think as they move into their second decade together & have a solid fan base they are confident to try things. Kevin is now a Dad & Matt just got married. My how time flies!

[@judithbush939]

They are doing this live on tour this year. it is wonderful!

[@vidsorama2]

I was so happy to see you reacting to Pentatonix again. Thank you. Their 90s video makes me happy. The auto tune was an homage to the original artists using it in the 90s. Cher was the Queen. Please react to Pentatonix "Over The River" with Lindsey Stirling. Pentatonix had a Christmas tour in 2021. There are a lot of fan-shot live videos from the tour.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

There's so much of their music that you've not seen yet. If you want medleys check out: Home (from their Home EP), Wizard of Aahs! (with Todrick Hall), and the 3 remaining Evolution of ..., which are Music, Beyonce, & Michael Jackson. There's also more Superfruit medleys like Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2 (always watch after the credits, Frozen Medley, they've also done Beyonce, Rihanna, Arianna, and Taylor Swift evolutions/medleys. A genius mash up of theirs that I love is New Rules x Are You that Somebody. And someone else in the comments mentioned the BTS mashup Butter x Dynamite. It'd also be cool to see you react to more original stuff. I highly recommend recommend Popspring 2016, where they perform 3 originals (Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, and Water) and the Evolution of Michael Jackson. And since you love harmonies...Run To You.

[@lordmortarius538]

I was in highschool in the early 90's, and man this brings back memories

[@JessicaJones33333]

It's like you forget these songs existed sometimes 🤣 love it

[@blastingweevil2968]

the 90's is hands down in the entire history of music the best Decade of dance/club tunes ever.... i was lucky to be at the perfect age for the start just hit 21 at 91.. comming from the U.K spent most weekends in Blackpool/manchester clubs with upto 500 people all dancing was amazing.

[@xtoxicxxkitten8875]

I love that Matt's bass is more noticeable than Avi 😅. He doesn't seem as low but his voice is beautiful 😍

[@jeanneplace6871]

Thank you for playing Pentatonix. Please play Come Along.

[@Kreationsbykrispy]

I’ve been waiting for someone to mention Sonique’s Feels so good because it’s absolutely my favorite 90’s dance song as well and I NEED PTX to do a full version 🙏🏻

[@mamajenkins1981]

That’s the one song that I definitely want a full version of because those harmonies were amazing

[@williamflouro6021]

So fun watching you react, such positive energy... it's contagious.

[@StevenInStereo]

Wow, thanks!

[@rlhcat7662]

One of the best reactions to this video ever! It is fun watching reactors who know all these songs have flashbacks to the clubs. Somebody made a video where they play PTX's version onscreen next to the original and it's fun to watch - Pentatonix 90s Dance Medley Side by Side. I believe they intentionally played up the autotune on Cher's song, since she was one of the first big artists to use it. Looking forward to more reactions. A recent one you might like is PTX My Favorite Things - it's very strange.

[@edsartistry]

You are so right in that they don't usually use too much vocal enhancements, but they always do something in each song that is a "nod" or "homage" to the original hit song. I think it's great that they do this and it's a kind of respect to the original. They are THE A CAPPELLA masters. They have reintroduced a cappella singing and taken it to a whole new level. They keep growing and evolving in their craft. They are truly God blessed.

[@janetburrows137]

Yes, they are extremely talented. The Talent they actually have is scary. So why don’t I hear the on the Radio in the UK?????? ❤❤❤👏🇬🇧👏🇬🇧🤷‍♀️🙏❤️🇬🇧

[@maxiem3679]

You were such a delight to watch buddy 🙂

[@kelly_kuku]

DEF go see them for a regular concert! Their Christmas concerts are way more subdued (still fantastic but just way calmer). Their regular concerts are a true PARTY!!🤩

[@Kim-zm7dc]

I'm not sure if youre doing album reactions anymore but I love thier latest non-holiday album The Lucky Ones. You should definitely check it out

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Agreed, same with their Home EP.

[@WatchThatDene]

Here for the "It Feels So Good" love 😍 They need to do a 2000s medley next.

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

Steven, I'm really glad to see how much your channel has blown up and seeing you smile through this made my day. Its been a rough 6 months for me since I broke my neck in October, but seeing your joy in this reaction is wonderful. You've come a long way from the 800 subscribers you had when I found you. Keep on being successful, and know that when you truly show joy its still a wonderful thing to see for you oldest subscribers.

[@christophercobb6352]

Evergreen has a guitar. Thank You has Scott on piano. Say Something has Kevin on cello. So they will add instruments when they feel right about it. Also the auto tune was a nod to Cher, who had explicit auto tune on that song (Life After Love). She may have been the first to have autotune as a vocal effect.

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

I had to make a new playlist after seeing this one! So good. Reminds me of wearing out my La Bouche CD

[@adrianlukacs1920]

Sonique-It feels so good really kill me,and I am so happy you love this song too 😍😍

[@1988AngelFire]

They did a tour this holiday season!! First tour since the whole Covid mess began!! Also on this last Christmas album there r a few songs Kevin does get 2 sing on! There is a piece with guitar and a piece with Kevin on cello and Lindsay Sterling on violin.. On 2020 Xmas album Scott n his partner wrote a song and Scott plays piano and Kevin plays cello for it! So they dabble with instruments a little! 😉

[@bonnieflynn4798]

This is first time the used auto tune in honor of Cher. I love them and so do you. Great reaction

[@davesparks1229]

As a huge ptx fan i love watching people react and have seen hundreds of reaction vids. As a big fan of 90s dance music, i fkn LOVE your take on this medley. You just became my fave ptx reactor. Props for knowing every song. ❤️❤️

[@sandihannig9836]

Loved your reaction. Please do more PTX. They are the best group EVER!

[@musicfanatic6558]

Talking about loving harmonies? Perhaps it sounds funny, but as a kid of about 5 or 6 years old I was watching the movie Charlotte's Web there was a part in the movie where the Zuckerman family went to the county fair and a Barbershop Quartet began to sing a song about Wilbur. Those harmonies where like a revelation to me right at that moment. Pentatonix enraptured me in exactly the same way as soon as I heard their harmonies. I really enjoyed your reaction here! Well done Steven!

[@uwbadger79]

and we loved all the PTX stuff you did in the past. I hope you'll include them more in the future - there's so much you've missed :)

[@angiepeterson1282]

They are constantly evolving. You definitely should see them live when you get a chance. Another medley on a more recent album would be Home. Butter x Dynamite is fun too.

[@corelli2]

Your reaction to my favorite loves and their talent has made my day. Your exuberance is infectious and got me dancing (and swearing like a sailor) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Sweeney541]

They were using autotone as a stylistic choice for the Cher song as that was the first song to do that. But they have also been doing more production on their music recently - listen to the tracs on the deluxe version of their recent original album The Lucky Ones. I recommend Petals, Easy Love, Anchor and Midnight in Tokyo.

[@gregseagler5111]

I'm OK with the Autotune too, in this instance. If they hadn't added it, we would have missed it. And even though they occasionally add effects like this, I bet they very rarely have to correct someone's pitch being just a hair off. I've seen enough videos of their live performances, and they all have astonishingly precise pitch. Now I'm wanting them to do an '80s Dance Medley, with Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, Whitney, Cindi Lauper, Dead or Alive (You Spin Me Round), Duran Duran, Culture Club, Communards, etc. Of course, nobody of this group had been born yet, but that decade was the big one for me. OK, maybe it's not all about me.

[@jewleenelson1002]

OMG YES!!

[@susanb4213]

When I first heard this medley, I was flabbergasted that I didn't know many of the songs AT ALL. In the 90s I was a young mother. I had two children during this time, and listening to music got me through some of the hard times of being 24/7 responsible for little humans. I knew almost every song in Todrick Hall's 4 the 90s medley, but not these. I finally figured out that many of these songs were more club songs. You would know them if you were going to clubs or partying in Vegas, etc. Not the case for a young mom! Now I've seen this so many times that I now know them - I've gone back and listened to them and can appreciate both the originals and the PTX interpretation. As for autotune, PTX was clearly paying homage to the autotune from the originals, especially Cher's. It's done for effect, not because they "need" it. I loved your reaction!

[@ellenhofrath]

Seeing your joy, makes my day. 💖

[@robinscott6971]

There is something so very nostalgic about 90s/00s dance music. Really enjoyed going on this journey with you.

[@Kimmerkel-k]

I’m with you that experiencing great harmonies is something other. Listening can bring me to a level of joy that I rarely find other ways.

[@helenachevallier128]

OMG, the joy! The pure joy that emanated from you through this whole video was amazing to see, and I wholeheartedly shared in your enthusiasm. It was like looking in a mirror. This is exactly how I looked and reacted the first time I watched this, and how I still look every time I re-watch it. 😄 Smashing that subscribe button! You're a joy! And how have I not found you before?! Oh well, I'm here now, and why I just now stumbled upon your channel will have to remain one of life's big mysteries. Keep being awesome!

[@2nicnag2]

I was born 1982, but growing up, my dad blocked MTV and VH1 and unless it was 70's rock or country music ( no one in my family liked country but me) we probably hadn't heard the song unless at a school dance, roller rink, etc. We didn't have a computer until I was 17 so couldn't even search for music that way. These songs don't really bring back any nostalgia for me but I d know the songs now and I actually like listening to this

[@jimbenson6550]

I f’in love that u know all the words to these songs…❤️😜

[@lexymich3647]

I hate that nobody told you about the concert that they did. They streamed one of their Christmas tour shows online. It was $10 a ticket and it was the Christmas tour they just wrapped. Scott played the piano twice: one song that he cowrote with his bf mark called "Thank you" and one song that they collaborated with Lindsey Sterling again on called over the river. was epic. Also, Kevin and Matt did a performance together where Kevin was playing the cello and Matt was playing a drum. I'm sending you a DM on IG so you can see a couple of really awesome things.

[@Lupin788]

The concert streamed online was great but I think Steven may have been talking about attending a live concert in person.

[@lexymich3647]

@@Lupin788 Right I understood that part but I think he might have liked the one that was streamed online.

[@rw716]

Great reaction! And yes, definitely used Autotune for Cher's song Believe because she was the first! 90's music is so good and definitely do miss it!!! Brings back sooooo many memories!

[@karannewton3481]

Love your reactions, they are so fun! PLEASE react to their cover of Imagine. It is such a powerful song and message. AND their harmonies...you get hit by a wall of sound that brings you to tears. It's a.must listen!!!

[@lifeisstrange2584]

Yeah, you really don't do Cher without some autotune. And I think they did it REALLY well. They do use some mild processing effects like reverb and such for most of their videos, but if you're doing 90's dance music, you gotta do it right.

[@robin8773]

their newest, the prayer, is maybe their best. i think harmonies give us a hit of dopamine.

[@shirleyujest7786]

Pure joy from you in this reaction! So much fun to watch.

[@juliestevens6931]

I totally missed the 90s (except for Ace of Base) as I was listening to talk radio that decade (don't shoot me - I was adulting during that decade - I was in my mid-30s-40s)). However, listening to Pentatonix has made me interesting in all these songs - like they have done since I started listening to them! I have discovered SO MANY songs I didn't think I would like but turns out I LOVE (tho' some are only their version).

[@jennyrynhoud3488]

I literally smiled through this whole reaction. Thank you. Subscribed 😊

[@thechomiji]

Lovely reaction. Actually, autotune was used only once. Mitch actually did effect during Blue himself. He's an amazing mimic. But as everyone else has said, autotune was used on Believe because it's so iconic. This is one of my guaranteed pick-me-ups - you are so right about how happy they look. They work so hard, it's a gas to see them just having fun. Matt, the bass, is a naturally cheery person, so he was off the wall here. And Scott with the swag, yeah - he loves playing the idol. Mitch is a little more subtle, but here he looks like a cat who got the cream. I can't believe how Kevin can smile while he beatboxes, but you see it in his eyes. And Kirstin knocked it out of the park: she looked and sounded absolutely beautiful. And they do touch their fans - they are always so human. Have you watched the Making of Evergreen Behind the Scenes video? I think you would enjoy seeing them just being themselves and working together.

[@drogna3905]

I just spent the last couple of hours watching your PTX reactions. I'm a newbie, only been listening to them for the last 6 weeks or so but I'm obsessed!! Got tickets to see them in London UK next May. I love everything they do, so talented and so clever. Can I ask you to react to 'Run To You'. Its beautiful. Love your reactions, just like mine lol. New subscriber.

[@jlelliotton]

Everyone who has seen this comes away with a huge grin, impossible not to smile at this

[@davidphillips4476]

Homage to the innovator Cher, the 1st to use "autotune" vocally..great homage!! Super nostalgia!!!!!! There is a side by side video of PTX and the original artists playing at the same time...PTX actually enhances the originals LOL! That's why they do upgrades not covers!!! Yep now I'm hyped! Great reaction.

[@janeen363]

Great reaction! I haven’t seen that one since it came out and I loved experiencing it with you. I’d love to see you react to the behind the scenes video they did for their Evergreen album. Much love!!

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I agree! I think he would love that!

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

If you want happy, you should see their mashup cover of BTS's Butter x Dynamite. Even Mitch looked really relaxed and like he was having a great time! Loved this reaction! I was a teen in the 90s, so I heard these songs at every dance, every party, always playing on the radio. Such great memories to be relived through music!

[@NamiMakimono]

Middle school memories. Watching you dance in your chair, sing the songs and smiling gives good feelings ☺️ 🦋

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

Loved your emotional response to this. I couldn't agree more.

[@martawojcicka]

I love your reaction! So positive! You are in to it so much! Cool 😂❤

This video is so funny because they each have two outfits and they switch at seemingly random times and not at the same times as each other

[@lleldridge1]

I was clubbing in the 90s and fondly remember these songs so well. Dude, how are you singing along? You are not nearly old enough. 😉

[@k.whatever9046]

my 17 yr old friend was singing along to all of these and they weren't even born in the 90s

[@janetburrows137]

I just wish, they’d done an 80’s medley. But maybe there, we’re only Spring Chicks 🐥 in the 80’s. I just wish it was possible??? I’d love ❤️ too see that for sure. 👏🙏❤️🇬🇧🤷‍♀️🇬🇧❤️

[@brutalfashion]

You’ve GOTTA see them live! We saw them on their Xmas tour this past December. Before that, I saw them a few years before. It’s unbelievable.

[@melissacoviello2886]

You should react to Never Going to Cry Again, it’ll break your heart especially because you’re a fan of Mitch. I wish there was a video, but there isn’t. It’s a relatively newer song.

[@virlinehonore9767]

i was vibing to this so hard! i love these songs

[@MommaBird52]

I have heard many say they would love full covers of all these songs as an album!

[@TigStripe]

Legit love watching reviews of this one because everyone always has such a good time jamming to it. It's a total feel good tune.

[@perfectkismet]

As others have said, you probably need to check out the The Lucky Ones Deluxe additions... all of The Lucky Ones was fairly experimental, but the deluxe songs were even more so. Matt learned a whole new way to do bass effects for it, they used a lot of layering and some studio effects and they're the first songs that not only have a number of instruments, they're instruments not played by band members. Completely stepped out of the box.

[@janetburrows137]

Your channel will only Grow, if you play PTX!!!!!!😮😮😮. There are so many fans, you can’t miss. 😂❤😂❤😂❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👏👏👏👏

[@megan722]

Pentatonix has a fun tiktok (dated 12/7) where they theorize that Ryan Reynolds is a closet PTX Superfan 😆 It’s super cute and funny but also goes along with what you’re saying about how even the biggest names in Hollywood drop them into conversation and it’s always a fun surprise

[@Cat-fi4ie]

Love your reaction , wondering have you ever reacted to a capella band Home Free? They're Amazing also. They're 5 men ,Country all vocal Country Band. They have the #1 Beat Boxer in a Capella groups They also won the Sing Off . Here are a few suggestions Man of Constant Sorrow, When a Man Loves a Woman, Country Fried Pop Medley, One Man Band. Or Working for a Living. Or just pick one of their songs. Their HARMONIES are unbelievable Just do yourself a favor and give them a chance.

[@angelafinch3517]

I was there when you started listening to Pentatonix. I loved it then and your still killing it ❤️ I love them

[@michaelf8702]

Like others have said, they only used auto tune because Cher used it on that song. Paying homage.

[@chuckanthony8981]

Awesome reaction! Pentatonix is simply the best. Beautiful harmony's always!

[@mamajenkins1981]

I’ve missed you reacting to PTX and I’m so glad this particular video is what brought you back. PTX has been absolutely killing it over the last two years, even through the pandemic and they’ve released so much music in 2020 and 2021. Hope you get to react to the videos from their At Home EP and the whole The Lucky Ones album (which is amazing). Their last two Christmas albums have been my favorite that they’ve released so far. They’re amazing, I love them so much 😍😍

[@brutalfashion]

We could’ve been neighbors, who knows? I grew up in Houston too. I LOVE ALL THESE SONGS. I actually made a list and downloaded all these songs to relive my childhood. ☺️

[@larrygranbois4164]

I watched a trio consisting of a young lady and her two brothers named A Girl Named Tom, they won The Voice this year and their harmonies are outstanding. I absolutely love harmony also and in my opinion they are second to PTX on my playlist. Have you reacted to Thank You which is an original written by Scott and his partner. It's a Christmas song but besides being beautiful Scott plays the piano and Kevin plays his cello on it. It's so good seeing you get so excited about Pentatonix again Steve. Great reaction!
