PENTATONIX Can't Hold Us Reaction

[@gsusan11]

Pat: “ I have no idea what that was.” Me: That was PTX at their very best. In my opinion, in this one song, they showcased all of their individual talents as well as their combined group dynamics. Avi and Kevin holding the beat down and keepin’ the baseline rollin’. The Trio showin’ off their rappin’ skills as well as their ability to harmonize and bring the melody together. All five of them bringing a melody together with smooth well blended harmonies. Such incredible talent. I absolutely love this song. One of their best in my opinion.

[@cinnamonbrown47]

That's why I love PTX. They keep you on your toes. They are full of surprises and keeps my relationship with them spicy. 😆 Don't know what to expect , but I love that about them.

[@danique549]

What I love about this video is that each member gets a set that represents them really well, hence why Kevin is in a church and Avi in some beautiful nature spot. I don’t know this for sure but I think they actually got to design their own sets!

[@danbunch1514]

PTX is amazing,....they sing great no matter what they do. And that takes great talent

[@justlinsu]

you are just so 'real' with your reaction....lol....the best....Avi and his heart thumping bass.....mitch hitting the ceiling ....love love love it

[@risaAflores222]

I love it when reactors are speechless! Have fun at your first PTX concert! I just saw my first too (Manila). I think you'll be blown away!

[@cindy1581]

All the "Styles" that you saw was each members way of putting their own spin to the video.. Kevin ( with the church background), AVI - In nature wearing all black, Kirsty with the "Broadway appea... Mitch it his nerdish approach, and I honestly cant really describe Scott.. Can you guys help me put his into words? Much love to our Pentaholics!!!

[@janices5389]

I remember reading somewhere - don't know how true it is - that each 'set' was representative of their niche in high school. Mitch was a little bit nerd/geek, Kirsty was high school musical/show choir, and Scott was one of the 'cool' kids. Take it for what it's worth! LOL!

[@MelaniePoparad]

This song is the best way to wake up on a monday morning!!

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Check out Macklemore! You will get a kick out of the original. Thrift shop is another Macklemore they covered. I love the Macklemore video where he had his grandma out for the day.

[@allybandy3047]

That was hiphop. Not easy. They went completely outside their box with that.

[@Lupin788]

Actually, they're pretty comfortable with hip hop. In the past, they've said rock and country were outside their wheelhouse but then they did Born To Be Wild in The Sing-Off and Bohemian Rhapsody, as well as won a Grammy for Best Country Group Performance with Dolly Parton with Jolene. They seem to be able to adapt to almost any style of music.

[@fosixsix225]

Pentatonix has no box . They don’t do any specific type of music .

[@quiltie1774]

. Check out him singing at Tim Fousts Birthday bash! Lots of fun singing at that party! Jeffrey sings Messes with Jenika , Tim’s wife!I also just found Jeffrey East who co wrote Austin song

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Interesting side note: I just listened to an interview Avi's sister Esther gave. That woman's professional career is jaw dropping! We know her as PTX tour manager but she was and is infinitely more than that. I bring this up because I think she was the connection that got them to this location for the shoot. It is Mt. St. Antonio college. A Cappella Academy is located there as well and you often see the campers post shots of the gorgeous views.

[@tanyanguyen3704]

alma petry - do you have a link? I’d love to hear more about her. Been following her work with lipstick nik

[@pentatonya1778]

I thought it was St. Mary’s. 🤷‍♀️

[@2011Fatcat]

omg this is one of my top favorites always gets me pumped!

[@amandasamson4513]

Their Thrift Shop Cover is awesome too!!

[@garyblocker9135]

View from here: THAT is called "ENTERTAINMENT." Sometimes a performance transcends genre and extends beyond showing any one specific talent. With PTX. that happens frequently.

[@cheriwilson9937]

Well that was totally unexpected!!! But it was incredible!! Fun! Lol!!

[@judithcure2255]

This is one of my favorite videos of theirs, Mitch and Avi really stand out for me. Are you going to cover more Superfruit videos? Like Feeling myself or Happy little pill...😀💖

[@tammyjimenez7047]

FINALLY! This is my all time get up and get moving song from them!!!! So much eye and ear candy!

[@katiejones9106]

You really should check out Problem by PTX too. Love watching you react! Enjoy your first Pentatonix concert! I'm heading to see Avi in March and April. ❤

[@januzzell8631]

I love this one so much :) the energy is off the scale and they all looked like they were having SUCH fun! I also love that they each were in areas that reflected where they come from - the original trio in a school setting, Kevin in church and Avi in the great outdoors - awesome :D

[@amandas.6500]

I love their cover of Gangnam style! Have a blast at the concert, they do a great job!

[@randykovack4518]

that was a type of rapping and song .... amazing

[@theresamarion823]

You will notice they had a different backdrop for each of their solo parts to match their personalities, church for Kevin, outdoors for Avi, school for Mitch etc. I loved Avi's bass in this one. You should also check out their behind the scenes while you are at it, I know you will enjoy watching it. (Not necessary to react to the behind the scenes if you do not want to, but worth the time to watch). Hello from Arkansas, I love your channel.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

I had not seen this one before, but I LOVED IT!!

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

They all blew me away in this! I'm not a fan of rap, but I can appreciate the skill....and I love how PTX just crushes everything they do ;-)

[@klayers1555]

G'day, Pat! This is such a high energy piece, perfect to kick off a Monday morning. I've heard Mitch rap before on their cover of Ariana Grande's "Problem" and he's (to my admittedly unschooled ears) great at it, but I was surprised at how good Scott and Kirstie were as well. Don't know why, though - I've come to believe that there's nothing these guys can't crush at (I want to hear Kevin doing the beats for an opera!). Best to the menagerie!

[@jslost]

They have many great vids but this one is in my top three. ❤️ Have a great time at the concert.

[@mecfstraveler]

I can't BELIEVE you've never reacted to this one! I need to get it off my bedtime playlist cause when it comes on I'm anything but sleepy! I see you've got cracked coming up! good thing, cause it's part of a Mashup that they were still performing a few days ago in Japan.. and they did it here too! it s Sounds so good. Live and Matt was messing with the speakers with the bass. I was so excited for him. ! I Love what Avi when he was in the group! but I'm a fan of Pentatonix. And I need them to continue. Making music so I'm really grateful that we have Matt. And he's an awesome person and I would miss him just as much. As I miss Avi if he was to go. I like seeing the group happy and having fun again, and I really honestly believe Matt's energy and positivity had a lot to do with that. So anyway on to crack can't wait to see what you think of that. And you are so behind. !

[@quiltie1774]

I just listened to Tim Foust wife Jenika Marion. Check out her video Hello Sun. Sweet voice.

[@fayecraven597]

Hahaha.....you were not ready!

[@kristinkirschenmann1163]

THANK YOU! No one gives Avi credit for this video and he is absolutely the coolest part in this song! Hahaha But this whole cover is one of my top 3 favorites to play in the car and Avi can damn near blow out my subs 😁

[@Aonaranachd]

Big DADDY BASS, Crushed it! O my goodness, so much talent all over the place.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😎💚

[@coffeebean41]

So glad you finally did this one! One of their early ones but one of my favorites! Really showcases their talent! Love, love, LOVE this!!

[@Dbone1974]

Sooo...I myself am from Seattle just like Macklemore. Now I have always really liked the original version of this track, but when I first heard PTX perform it, well let's just say my mind was blown into another realm of existence!! Pentaholic for life!! 😍😍

[@abieshleman8313]

You should listen to the original Thrift Shop by Macklemore, and then react to their cover. It’s funny! They’re in costume and everything.

[@lellyt2372]

Love love love this one ! You should check out "Ref" my favourite original right now (it changes all the time because who can choose between their songs🤷‍♀️) There is only lyric vids but it's AMAZING!

[@xboxbml]

Yes Ref is one of my favorites as well!.. I used to crank that on my old car radio that had some decent bass in it

[@kathys6402]

At first I was not too sure about this one, listened to this 3 more times & now I really love it. Thanks, Pat for introducing me to this. Have fun at your concert! Woo Hoo!

[@Bonofox1]

💥💥SCOTT RAPING THOUGH!!!!...The stand outs to me were Scott Avi and Kevin!!! .....YOU FINALLY reacted to this song that has been requested FOR SO LOOOOONG#!👍👍👍

[@Bonofox1]

@@mcstacia 👏👏👏

[@ms.laperry8106]

Good morning, have u done Pentatonix cover of Problem and La La Latch.

[@jenniferyoungberg]

Yes!!! These would be SO good to react to!

[@irishangel5689]

Soooooo excited you finally got to this one. I have been waiting for you to find it. LOL. Love this. Mitch's rap is so amazing. Bot that man can rap. And his high notes, so perfectly Mitch. What's really funny is since day one people have compared Scott to Macklemore, saying he looks a lot like him.

[@garycallan7384]

Grammy worthy

[@shirleyujest7786]

I absolutely love this version and so glad you reacted the same. It was amazing! I loved the separate outfits in which each one had the foreground. They really showcase their skills. Loved it!

[@ryanje8147]

Love it. More ptx please. Thx

[@HolisticLivingDownunder]

I just love your reaction. It is so genuine. That song is so good, and I've loved it for years.

[@maesecho6019]

Love this and Thrift shop too!! Macklemore and Lewis are from Seattle washington. They are really good..

[@laviniamccarney3215]

This is one of my all time favourites of ptx loved your reaction

[@schuhschrank947]

I really love your reaction at the start of the song! When you check out Macklemore you can find Mary Lambert singing "Same Love"! Have fun at the concert next week (I am jealous!)!

[@Lifesgoinggood]

I was so excited to see you featuring this video...I'm obsessed and have been watching it multiple times a day. It was fun to see if you loved it as much as I have!

[@sharonhodder8972]

You should check out the original by Macklemore, it really shows you just how freaking talented they are, I like PTX's version better than than the original. See you at the concert next week!

[@calhoun1968]

Lol! I'll tell you what that was; "Fan-freakin'-tastic" mate!!! Peace, Love and Light Pat!!!

[@Texastigerdigsdetects]

They have done a couple of Macklemore and Lewis songs (lookup Thrift Shop). I LOVE that and both Macklemore and Lewis (his parthners) creation and Pentatonix's rendition.

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

PTX are performing a brand new song called "Happy Now" during this concert series. It's worth listening to a fan recording of the song so you're ready for it next week.

[@uwbadger79]

I'm surprised you hadn't reacted to this one before. It's one of my favorites. Hope you have a great time at the concert!

[@cherylfoster1223]

Excellent song. Love the original but like this one as well. TY PG

[@ashleysheree7057]

You gotta react to Ref! It's one of their original songs and it's insane!

[@msmichellewinchester]

If you wanna check out Macklemore, definitely react to Glorious. It's such a beautiful music video. Trift Shop is also a very well known song by him, but I prefer the version in The Hillywood Show's Sherlock parody, which I absolutely recommend you check out too :D.

[@Jenbear75]

My favourite

[@diandiaz9026]

It’s a cover of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis what were you expecting

[@fredneckteddy]

I love watching your reactions!!!!! completely awesome just like PTX :)

[@dianeruiz3795]

Your reaction is basically me in a nutshell, lol. I was just like..oh for God's sake, these choir nerds all rap now too? Wth?? 😃😆

[@vivianchamberlain6079]

That was awesome!!!!

[@anessalyn1035]

Have you done Telephone? They performed it after the AHA one in Singapore?

[@megan722]

Yes! Came to recommend Macklemore! Thrift Shop is a fun one. As mentioned, PTX did a cover but imo the original Macklemore version is untouchable (it’s got some adult language, just a heads up). Also, his “Same Love” is a more emotional song with a beautiful meaning

[@suzare6070]

What *can't* PTX sing??? I echo others' suggestions to check out Mackelmore -- super talented guys.

[@hoolahoops2112]

Would you plz react to Pentatonix funny moments videos? They are so funny...you'll really enjoy them. I love when you smile and laugh because of them. Plz? 🥺

[@johncox8281]

Great Music from PTX

[@Crystal_doggy]

I have all the songs from pentatonix on my Spotify before you know the song haha 😂

[@AXelaYrrag]

There's a Making Of behind the scenes video for this one ... you should check that out, even if you don't do a react for it.

[@justlinsu]

Lyle i love your reactions....Avi is awesome....

[@PatrolNation]

Thank you, Avi is awesome.

[@bethcrandall1]

Looking forward to you reporting back after you see them live! It's been a long wait!

[@Crystal_doggy]

Lmao meat and potatoes pat 😂😂😂

[@PtxXtp]

[DLE] Crystalmma10 Not sure if you know this or not but he’s not just saying a random comment. Meat and potatoes is the nickname Kevin and Avi were given on The Sing Off. If you did know and you’re just laughing at him saying it sorry I stepped in to say something.

[@dominikneubauer8770]

how have you not heard the original before, like what ?!

[@SouthAfricanMedic]

After seeing that I don't think there is anything Pentatonix can't do

[@dorothycarson6339]

Great one . 👏🏾✌🏾❤️😎🙏🏽⭐️

[@pkfsylvia]

Good Day to you! You had reacted to Hua Chenyu Trilogy and he actually sang total of 5 songs in his last year concert, kindly react to another 2 new songs "The Sacred Tree" and "Seven Personalities". You may use video from Hua Chenyu MarsTranslation channel as they are providing best version of fancam with English Subtitles

[@jennywong5286]

It's hard to describe Hua Chenyu's unique performance. He composed these two amazing songs. He's an artist. He's awesome and talented.

[@jingchai5522]

This song is like a perfect work of art. Hua Chenyu's music can always touch my soul. Highly recommend Seven Personalities. Please check it out.❤️

[@yuyulow9093]

these two songs are the master art piece!! Please find the English subtitle as below Seven personalities kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJnXo4GDZ6era6M The scared tree kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5OznqZom7OLbaM

[@cindy1581]

IMHO I think Kevin should've been the potatoes, and Avi the Meat =) He has a strange love for BBQ .. .and I believe Kevin just went Vegan ? Correct me if I'm wrong.. However, this is one of my favs from back in the day... never heard the original that I am aware of , but this cover most likely takes the cake... =) CHEERS EVERYONE !!!!

[@ThexImperfectionist]

Have you done Where Are You Christmas yet? It's a relatively newer cover of theirs that I only found recently but it has maybe my favorite Kirstie solo in it. Amazing!

[@jo-annelebel9819]

This is great also

[@quiltie1774]

Check out Jeffrey East singing roller rink

[@marablemorgan8292]

It was fun....

[@iaminsane81]

I think you should listen to the originals to the songs you are not familiar with just to see exactly how PTX make them their own. I happen to love the Macklemore original but this cover is off the hook.

[@Vendor.V]

Pleaaaaaase react to PTX Problem!!!! ❤️💕

[@judykatchen1834]

Love it!

[@deannacook3862]

Patrol Gaming... I need, need, need you to react to Samantha Fish.

[@debhouckscraftycottage9288]

This isn't my favorite of theirs; however, it Does showcase each of them in their favorite settings (I think). Kevin in a church, Avi in nature, etc. I also miss Meat and Potatoes. But, I'm getting to see Avi live on April 3rd, so I'm excited about that. This video had to take awhile to make and put together for sure, with all the different settings and such. TFS

[@MidoriDad]

5:26 that made me laugh so hard

[@PizzaHutCEO]

I can’t believe you’ve never heard of Macklemore, you should listen to the original Can’t Hold Us, Thrift Shop, and Downtown.

[@blackenreed1425]

Watching your initial reaction was like looking in a mirror when I first heard it, except my beard's grey. Are they versatile or what? For a Macklemore version see kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKuxhJqJr811nK8. (Edit: Sorry if I'm too late, I know that you can find it yourself. No offense intended, just didn't realise that I was 16 hours late)

[@kimberlybrower925]

I finally watched the original of this song... What a letdown man. Ptx version is so much better! ♥

[@deannacook3862]

Avi is ridiculous.

[@singerforever223]

Totally unrelated to anything but this video made me notice how much lip filler kirstie has gotten since they started 👀 at least they look good. Hopefully she doesn’t go overboard

[@mstewart109]

I must be a bit dense. Or just not a fan of rap. What was this about?? Ok !you are as baffled as me. You are much younger than my 61 yrs...nope for me
