Pentatonix Daft Punk Mix (Private Performance) | Reaction! | Just HOW!?

[@elizabethfelet4743]

Don't forget - this is done: without microphones; in what appears to be a bathroom/changing room; recorded with what is likely a cell-phone camera (and given that it is from 2016, assume a relatively shitty one at that); no in-ears (so they can't hear click tracks for keeping tempo, and really can only hear the person right beside them for keeping tune). And they still sound amazing. The produced version is beyond amazing, but this shows how their true talent is driving their success, and the professional production work is the icing on the cake.

[@jenx4115]

Right! The only difference is the mix, that equalizes the levels of Kevin& Avi so you can hear them better. Amazing!! I think this performance was a VIP thing.

[@anessalyn1035]

yeah watch the official video, the daft punk medley is what won them their first grammy. You'll see how they're exactly the same. Glad to see you back. hope you and your family are well.

[@flyngalan]

This is a meet and greet recorded on a phone and without amplification.

[@MicheleMessenger]

You have to watch the official video of this. You'll love it

[@aliciadarga6993]

Oh, and this was their first Grammy winner 😁

[@tor_sgith]

Great reaction! "Huh? What? Huh? What?" sums it up nicely! For something a bit similar to Daft Punk they have an original EDM track Love Again that there is a great live version of in an interview. There is one overhead mic from the camera person for everyone except Kevin, he has his own mic so you can really hear his vocal percussion properly. Them singing starts at 5:32 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSchZyZjJWcn7s

[@terrimoseley8650]

Please react to PTX Gold. It's another one of them just sitting in a room together and you won't believe what Mitch can do with his voice!

[@richardwilson5560]

Not only does this prove the greatness of Pentatonix, it also shows their greatest weakness. Stop their hands from moving and they will grind to silence!!! Great Reaction! 😁😁😎

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I'll always giggle at the videos where they stand still and you can see Scott either gripping the chairs, holding his hands etc. They literally have to lock him in a position to keep his hands still. They FEEL IT for sure!

[@jlelliotton]

This is my fav video to recommend to people who believe that the "official" PTX videos only sound as good as they do through technology.

[@angiegardner8949]

NOW YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT THE OFFICIAL DAFT PUNK BY PTX

[@aliciadarga6993]

The official video is really cool too!

[@AndieO]

Son of a mitch. I almost choked on my drink....lol. #sauceydad #307reacts #wafflegang

[@alexknudsen7103]

Anytime I hear someone say, "They use too much auto tune, i doubt they sound as good without it." I show them this video, and it blows their mind lmao. This is probably the most raw you will ever find Pentatonix, and they still sound incredible.

[@leslienoel6909]

Definitely check out the official video for this. Something else you should check out is Scott and Mitch's side project Superfruit. They haven't released anything in a while but it's all great and I don't think there should be any upload problems. If you really want to get Mitch slapped watch Superfruit Defying Gravity.

[@df5199]

You should listen to the official video. They won a Grammy for its arrangement.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

This is a "Make A Wish" foundation performance in a hospital room. Make A Wish is Pentatonix' charity. You can run across them singing with another person in several videos. All the same thing. A wish by a terminal patient to sing with them. Or a couple of pre performance appearances with patreons as well.

[@Eightdb]

Now go watch the official video! We keep telling you.....NOW do you get finally why we are Pentaholics???

[@jenx4115]

They all know their parts (& each other's) like the back of their hands because they won the Grammy for the arrangement. You know they went through it a million times. That's the main thing about their success - they work they asses off! They're pros. They were pros by the time they won the Sing Off. Talent is only half the equation - hard work is the other. That's what i find super impressive about PTX. They're meticulous, they love what they do, and they're geniuses. If you want to call yourself a Pentaholic you have to see their journey on The Sing Off. 🤘🤩🔥💜

[@Kash7298]

Honestly, aside from Avi and Kevin being a little bit louder (because it's professionally mixed), the produced version doesn't really sound much different at all. It's mind-blowing lol

[@brookebeasley5611]

If you want a good giggle and to be really amazed by their talent, you should check out Scott and Mitch as Superfruit and their "Hip Hop Goes Broadway" parts 1 and 2. Absolutely stunning and hilarious at the same time.

[@carmengibson]

You HAVE to watch the video. Filmed in a closet, recorded in Kevin and Avi’s kitchen….and they won a Grammy! Also…if you love Star Wars…check out their performance at the 2015 AMA’s! Mind blowing!

[@buckeyegirl16]

I second the suggestion to react to Love Again which is an original...its fun and upbeat, one of Kevin and Avi's best and Mitch sings lead the whole song. Its my fave of their originals. Soooo happy ur back. I really thought u quit KZbin after a month passed.

[@GLAlex9470]

Great reaction! Now you have to listen to the official so you can hear how they do this just the same. It's actually amazing how they can do this live. This was a private showing for someone through the Make a Wish Foundation.

[@LiLiJo]

I love that you can see with their body movements that they are actually making the sounds coming out of their amazing mouths.

[@RainbowMaille]

with no mics, recorded on some crappy cellphone they are still awesome!

[@craiglonghurst8958]

nothing like concrete proof that they do not highly edit their videos

[@ella7637]

Son of a Mitch!!!! 😂😂😂😂 This is the only version I will use from now on! 😂❤️

[@tersommers]

Always love your reactions! Hope all is well! It has been a minute! So glad you're back! Can't wait for more PTX or Superfruit (Scott & Mitch's channel)! Thanks so much for the fun!

[@theresarigio5627]

So glad to have you back to PTX. Missed you. They won their first Grammy for this one. Keep them coming. Come Along, Problem, WeAre Young, Starships, So many to choose from. Love your reactions! ❤️❤️

[@JoyAllgood]

Never forget getting KO’d!!!

[@robinmcdaniel6821]

This was a back stage VIP Make a Wish performance. We don't need no stinking microphones

[@adam.4487]

Definitely for sure it's a must to watch the official daft punk you'll know why when you watch it, you won't regret it.

[@janetburrows137]

That still sounds great in someone’s living room. Amazing 😂❤❤❤🙏🤷‍♀️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧🥃🥃🥃🥃

[@marymichele340]

The look on your face tells the complete story!😂😂😂

[@vantreknerd]

Great reaction! This video doesn't come close to the awesomeness of the studio version. Please do it so you don't miss out!

[@bradclifton5248]

The amazing thing is that apart from it being filmed on a cell, it's near exact on the pro recording.

[@vantreknerd]

I love that this video is out there. This is for all the haters who go around in the comment sections of PTX videos saying that the only reason they are more popular than other groups is because the are "more produced" and use all this vocal 'engineering' to get there sound. They obviously do produce the studio version...but is that the reason they sound the way they do? Nope. Just a great mix of talent and brilliant arrangements.

[@titansfan23]

Won a Grammy on the produced version lol

[@melaniechambless3132]

Another one of their older songs I like is "Cheerleader". Another one where they are really in sync is a Christmas song. Really amazing.

[@jeangoodwin1856]

“That was incredible…mind blowing! Do I even need to say Kevin’s name? Son of a Mitch…I’ve already recovered from all the Mitch slaps.” Great reaction and you had me cracking up 😂. They are amazing but you do need to watch the original produced version that they won a Grammy for. 💕

[@becca2383]

They are so good! Yes, definitely watch the official video too, it's amazing! I know it's not Christmas anymore but another one to see how amazing they are live is Carol of the Bells (otherwise known as when does Mitch actually breathe 😂) from their Christmas Under the Stars show. The one I really can't wait for you to see though is their original Love Again. Want to see your mind explode haha 😂

[@taniareads8751]

Yes - this one! The live version on this show is incredible.

[@suziballinger4230]

Definitely listen to the video version. And you should listen to their version of Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@carrieb1781]

Now that you've seen this, I'm really looking forward to seeing you react to the Official video!

[@ptxlover6878]

Your reactions are so much fun "What?? Huh??" 😁😁 Please react to the official version too! And "son of a Mitch" is hilarious! 💕

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Seriously watch the original video PTX did. It’s so crazy fun

[@melissacoviello2886]

This oughta be great. Definitely mind blowing.

[@Wizzard3921]

WOW- I thought I've seen EVERY PTX vids, I guess I was wrong? I must say though, I think the original "Daft Punk" video was SO much better, mostly because of the make-up, they looked insane! So glad you're back!

[@friedagoodloe3430]

Glad to see you back doing PTX again.

[@colettesfavoritethings3750]

No auto tuning. Just brilliance!

[@zrebbesh]

They sounded like this when somebody recorded them through their 'Galaxy 4' or whatever it was that year. No camera work, no nice mike, no mixing in post, no layering.... that's just them.

[@paulamonaghan3280]

I enjoy your reactions. Watch the produced version. Don't let the bloodshot eyes bother you (reaction to contacts). If I only had 1/10 of their talent. Sigh!!! Glad you are back. Sorry about the last month.

[@karengiles8422]

Thanks for the review fellow Maine-iac! Make sure you check out the produced one that won them the Grammy!!

[@sherry640]

Missed your reactions! Welcome back.

[@printnewb]

Lol. love your reaction. Some guy is "taking a dump" in the stall and saying "wtf?" LOL. Singing in the shower on steroids.

[@travisrussell9166]

Your facial expressions are a kodak moment man lol love it

[@karend1577]

Their music video is one of my favorites. It's so pretty and techy. Love it.

[@dianedahl5337]

So great to have you back! Loved your reaction as always. Please react to Bohemian Rhapsody when you get a chance.

[@lynn2574]

I know I’ve recommended it before, but I don’t see that you’ve had a chance to do it. Check out the da can video of Avi overtone-singing The Lion Sleeps tonight. If that video doesn’t completely blow your mind, watch the first minute of their video for Angels We Have Heard On High. 😁🤯 Glad you’re back.

[@mermaid6808]

Welcome back 😊, I hope you are ok!?! I'm glad you did the non-mics version first and appreciated it anyway. So I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the official video which they recorded by themselves in Avis and Kevins appartement with a very low budget. I always have this in mind when I watch it.

[@Wizzard3921]

You don't have a play-list, so I don't know if you've covered this, but I know you'll really like "White Winter Hymnal"

[@lleldridge1]

Welcome back, missed you, hope all is well. Yes please react to the official video. The visuals are half the fun. Especially considering it was created in Avi and Kevin’s apartment for next to no budget. Can you say GRAMMY? Always fun to watch a live performance but if it’s a fan cam, the mixing just isn’t the same as when they’re mic’d up. Avi and Kevin were so 🔥🔥 in the official vid and barely heard in this vid. Cheers.

[@shermanneal7226]

It was a make a wish, foundation.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Can't wait till you see the produced video. Sometimes you can get away with an opaque video. Having a see through video is worth a try if it can save you some time.

[@denisemiles1787]

Loved your reaction

[@7id3]

It sound soooooo good and thats just a recording from a cam or an phone.

[@gwendolynrector3323]

Great reaction

[@marymulligan3053]

Great reaction!

[@wiredjeweler211]

Definitely check out the music video. This one fun to see the live version, but I do enjoy the music video more.

[@grain3871]

Nice to see you again. Please see the group Voctave, sir. You will be surprised.

[@kapulanir.5]

Listen to the official video

[@dawnpatterson8708]

See to me, it wd have been better if this reaction was b4 the official video on your Playlist. Just makes for a more authentic journey. Still way fun to watch.

[@melaniemarceaux9580]

Crazy huh 😳

[@edithdavis2848]

There's a boom mic above them.

[@buckeyegirl16]

Don't know if you've looked at view counts, but Imagine, Amazing Grace, Hallelujah are kicking butt in views...I feel like 1/4 of Imagine views were me lol. I've watched it soooo many times. Its honestly my fave reaction video I've ever seen 💖 Would still really like u to react to Carol of the Bells from Christmas under the stars. U shouldn't have copyright issues. Pretty please with sugar on top.😊😊😊

[@curtpoppenhouse2621]

Now watch the studio (Or rather kitchen closet) version

[@shilohauraable]

So glad to see you back! I've missed you! I hope all is well with you and your family. 🤗

[@phoenix9448]

Welcome back home Saucey. 🤗 You have been missed. This is great and yes do catch their main video of this. According to Scott they recorded it in a bedroom closet and filmed it in a kitchen. After they won the Sing Off the record label that contracted with them decided there wasn't a market for this type of music (jokes on them). So PTX invested their own money and put it together themselves and gained their 1st Grammy and as they say the rest is history.

[@Spaceydoodle]

Welcome back! We missed you!!! 💜💜💜

[@dawnreitenbach7111]

Grammy winner!

[@ptxaholic]

Mitch literally can't sing off key, ever. Not even in a room with a bathroom behind them. It's not in his genetic makeup.

[@Tammy-km5uf]

Have you seen Superfruit (Scott and Mitch's channel) Frozen Medley with Kirstie. The outtakes are so funny (they "try" to sing bad)

[@ptxaholic]

@Tammy I think I've seen 80 percent of the videos out there lol. He can't sing bad even if he's messing around. Jelly.

[@patriciaferguson9204]

Try ro remember - videos with Avi (bearded bass) are older. He left the band in Sept. 2017.

[@ruth2141]

I assume this was recorded on a mobile device that didn't have much frequency range because Kirstie and particularly Avi were hard to hear. I bet it sounded better in the room because PTX is actually really good at adjusting their voices when they are live to create the best balance. The official video is of course balanced by their great editor so you'll be able to hear everything better. How are you doing on the blocking? PTX suggestions -- "New Rules x Are You That Somebody", "Can't Help Falling in Love", "Happy Now", "Papaoutai"

[@melaniechambless3132]

Wow didn't know they were that difficult. Well if you watch them when you're not on the tube they have a lot of great songs.

[@roberturittpinnick8184]

Love your reactions!! Still. Please do Kevin’s RENEGADE. You can say his name all you want during that reaction.

[@Wyndigayle]

Welcome back! Hope all is well with the Saucy Fam. Looking forward to the reaction to the produced version. Goes without saying, but it's going to blow your brain...as usual with PTX.

[@heatherb_77]

So happy to see you back with PTX!

[@sallycripe2697]

Love your face! Fun to watch and listen. Glad you are back.

[@anitaslack9193]

I really enjoy your reactions, they're very entertaining. But during this video there was this high-speed tick or rattle that was playing through the entire video over the music, up until you put the headphones down on the desk. As soon as you put the headphones down the noise went away. I don't know what it was, but it was very distracting. I do look forward to seeing your reaction to the Daft Punk official video. 🙂

[@janetburrows137]

PS don’t forget there’s not proper acoustics in a living room. 😮😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Like+++++++. Just to get you to 100 comments. ;)

[@theresaswallows4274]

Like these guys but Home Free is my favorite

[@juliamadigan5934]

I understand this was a Make a Wish performance.

[@ClaireBarn]

If has Avi = it is older

[@heidifruchtl354]

Lol. You just got flattened by the PTX 2x4, again. And you got KO'd This was a private party in the green room before a show Now find the airport thrift shop performance. That one will hurt you more.

[@GolyenHighway]

Yeah. The produced version has more bass than this one. The camera/recording device didn't have the mic to capture most of that & the beat-boxing.

[@calliec7493]

Any time I hear PTX older songs, it makes me sad that Avi isn't with them any longer. I have been able to see Avi perform twice on his own in Nashville and some of Chance's former bandmates have appeared onstage with Avi. There is definitely a tight knit group of musicians that were on the SingOff.

[@tasia2174]

Great reaction! I have a suggestion, though, for how you refer to each member, specifically for Scott. Instead of "Scott Suplexed", might I suggest "Scott Scalped"? Just cuz of the similar "sc" sound. Your choice of course. :)

[@timcaldwell5241]

Yeppers…They have fantastic editing and amazing cinematography in their “Official Videos”…BUT…if you want the “bare bones”…They will ASTOUND you with their sheer talent!!! Lol, I started to say “raw talent”, but their is NOTHING “raw” about PTX!!!

[@alanbloomer7650]

What auto-tune?

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Didn't count that sucks.
