Good rule to go by: The answer to "Is that Mitch?" is always YES. Dude has looked like 10 different people in about as many years.

Welcome to meat and potatoes. This is how they won the sing off, season 3. They were smart with arranging, and they had Avi and Kevin.

I'm in KY so that might be possible! haha

[@sarahhorowitz1915]

Space lasers!!

[@thaiseathaydesantos]

If you need to ask if that if is Mitch, it's Mitch hahaha The only member that left was Avi, he needed to, unfortunately. Check his solo stuff, Change on the Rise is amazing. He is really talented but couldn't keep it with the tours when his mother had cancer and he had depression in 2017 (she survived). I absolutely love his solo career, he is one of my favorite artists at the moment, and Matt is doing an amazing job with Pentatonix.

[@pradiptabanerjee3026]

CHANGE ON THE RISE! OH MY GOD! EVEN MY MUM WAS LISTENING TO IT THE OTHER DAY!!

Every time someone asks "Is that Mitch?" Yes, it is Mitch.

I knew you’d love this one! Superfruit - Mitch & Scott - “Feeling Myself”. Check it out.

[@danielcarter837]

If you really want their mind blown, check out Kevin doing a cover of Down all by himself. He is his own band.

[@WhatTheBlastt]

I can 100% believe he can be his own band. Def on the list!

[@michellebarry1555]

Great reaction, just asking if next time you could turn up the volume. Could barely hear the video. Thank you ☺️

[@donnaj9769]

I came to comments for that reason also. If I turn it up to hear the music my ears get blasted out when he talks or hoots at Kirstie (can’t say I blame him....but my ears 😳). I’m not sure how you can fix the sound differential...but please try!

[@WhatTheBlastt]

Fixed for future vids sorry about it. And thanks!

[@mooses-n-gooses9712]

Great reaction.

[@livus3787]

Hi 😁 Yes it's Mitch Yup Scott & Mitch can rap Yass, Kirstie is on fire Check out an early vid of Kevin and Avi (aca Meat and Potato) doing an audience participation game at concert for live wobbly bass-beatbox coolness Also look at them knees 😂 🖖

[@pradiptabanerjee3026]

That's Mitch. He changes every year. That's externally. But internally? He's always that sweet little angel. He's all soft and cuddly in there.

[@Anjalena]

If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely watch their documentary "On My Way Home". They let a camera crew roll with them during a full tour around the world (their first big significant one). You get to see all of them on a personal level. But the biggest reason is because I'm also a huge Avi fan. He's happy and upbeat, great energy, always dancing, amazing smile and beautiful eyes (I have a thing for eyes). But the thing I love the most which is on FULL display throughout the documentary is his dry sense of humor. I don't usually enjoy dry humor but his is STUPIDLY hilarious! And it's something you'll never see by just watching music vids. AND you get to see Avi and Kevin's best friendnessness.

[@susanbradley5685]

Avi's hips were VERY popular to watch "back in the early days"...whew! Look for one of their early live concert versions of "Let's Get it On" where they'd bring up an audience member to be a "chair girl". Talk about palpatations!!

[@jimkelley2444]

Once again--great reaction. Avi and Kevin are the best. They shared an apartment so they could practice together and be what they are today. They change the beat of the Christmas carol "O come all ye faithful". Avi's base is great in their original "Sing" and Kevin raps as well.

[@piper998877]

7:09 is the best reaction I have heard in a long time. "Uh. Okay...So we're still doing that."

[@rlhcat7662]

Yeah - I was soooooo glad he went back a few seconds and replayed the lead in to it. I was yelling NO NO NO, don't stop there!

[@wainwrightst.b8605]

Part of what makes Avi so nuts is he can actually sing two notes at once.

[@WhatTheBlastt]

Yeah its super impressive.

[@ashleyhoward6651]

We all need Avi in our circle and his bass line in this song is sick!

[@RosheenQuynh]

Still praying to have that happen in my future 😭

[@melissacoviello2886]

Lol I loved that you said “Mitch spazzed” accurate.

[@rlhcat7662]

Great reaction! Don't mind the pauses, as long as you go back a few seconds. When you cut away just before Mitch's epic high note run, I'm yelling NOT NOW - but you went back and picked up the lead into it, even saying "so we're still doing that". Never think Mitch can't go higher, or Avi go lower for that matter. You should check out their other Macklemore & Ryan Lewis cover, Thrift Shop - it's in their old style, live with humor and amazing harmony. And lots of rapping.

[@salo81]

Love that one!

[@WhatTheBlastt]

Yeah I started reacting to rap and learned early on to go back a few secs if I pause or I would miss bars so I did the same with them cause there is so much to take in I don't want to miss anything lol. And Thrift Shop is super boppy so I could see them having fun with that also, on the list!

[@rlhcat7662]

@@WhatTheBlastt Can't wait!

[@amandaw6872]

Love your enthusiasm! Reactions are so much fun to watch! I add my vote for Avi Kaplan's Change on the Rise - it will blow you away! And as others have said, yes, if you think it's Mitch - it is! Lol. I would recommend Hip Hop Goes Broadway (part one and two!) & Defying Gravity by Superfruit - the first because you tend towards rap as normal genre of music, & the second for one of the best Mitch as an inhuman alien experiences! For PTX - one of the lesser done reactions (I have no idea why!) that I think you will really get a kick out of - Starships!

[@vickimoran1349]

They literally ace everything they do! They can knock any genre out of the park. That's how multifaceted they are. Their collective talent is limitless!!!

[@christinadowdican3268]

In one of their earlier concert videos (could even be at tge acapella academy) avi & kevin did a short piece together. They were really good. Hence their nickname of "meat & potatoes" given to them during the season 3 sing off

[@ConnieGordon]

Your volume is significantly higher than the video volume. If I turn it up to listen to them my ears bleed when you emote and/or talk. Good element to work out for next video.

[@JemUzumik]

Yes.. Avi and K.O😍

[@deannaunruh6116]

Have you reacted to their version of “Gold”?!? Cuz I think you’d dig it!! Some serious Kevin and Avi moments!! And Mitch’s lead is killer!!!

For more rapping check out their covers of Starships and Problem. If Avi warms your heart, leave room for Matt... he is the walking definition of JOY!!!

[@gorgarath]

This is one of the videos where I highly recommend checking out the behind the scenes videos they shot. It's such an intricate video with all the themes going on it's really need to hear them discussing it and how they did it and whatnot. Would be awesome to see a reaction, but even if you don't record yourself watching it, you should still check it out just because it's a really nice complement to the finished product.

[@2nicnag2]

Truly an example of the sum being greater than the parts!!

[@r.d.stratford106]

Dude, you should have heard the noise I made when I saw you’d reacted to this one; I swear it sounded like a teakettle going ham. Hot dang! So glad you liked it. It really is a bop.

[@WhatTheBlastt]

Yeah a super bop. Loved this one.

[@davidbangtson3109]

This early song of theirs is captivating in so many ways. They honored the original, while putting their own unique flavor to the song, improving it further. Love it!

[@abbemai]

if u want to see some of their personalities while they sing i’d recommend their 100 song challenge on fbe it’s crazy to see how quickly they can jump into a random song

[@elcarto22]

'Chubby' would be unfair, but Mitch did weigh a bit more when they started out. I never heard the reason why, but he lost a LOT of weight a couple of years after that, and was pretty skinny through most of their career. he's definitely gained a bit back in the last year or so, and looks very healthy in comparison.

[@mmg8823]

First time away from his mom's cooking; he ate a lot of fast food.
