PENTATONIX Feat. Lindsey Stirling Papaoutai Reaction

[@yankumi694]

As a french person, I can tell you Scott nailed this, they all did really, love your reactions! 😊

[@ailawil89]

He sounds Canadian-ish, or Canadian French speakers (not necessarily from Quebec) sound like him. Haha.

[@yankumi694]

@@ailawil89 maybe! Never heard Canadian French outside of Québec and their French is very different from ours :) here I'm really impressed with his "R" sounds, I think that's where English speakers struggle the most..

[@danique549]

This song was a huge hit in Europe when it came out! I’m not a native french speaker but from what I know I think it sounded really good, they hired a language coach to help them with the french for this song 😝

[@Sweeney541]

They don't speak French, but they hired a French teacher to help them learn it properly. They've actually sung in a lot of different languages over the years, and I don't think any of them speak them fluently: French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Latin, Chinese (Kevin speaks Chinese, but he rarely sings). Oh, and the song is about a boy asking "father, where are you?". In the original it's a boy who has lost his father, but PTX made it about a boy whose father is more preoccupied with his work than his son.

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Yes, that is correct. BTW, I am with you as far as the singing in different languages as I have done many as well in my earlier performing years. 💕💕💕

[@Sweeney541]

@Ofra Cohen I know they have 2 in Japanese: Perfume Medley and Pretender. But I believe they did some Chinense song - I think it was on the Chinese Sing-Off, but I'm not 100% certain

[@skawtandkyrstye9100]

Ofra Cohen they have done a part here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5-rg2uBbct5eJI This is definitely a song in mandarine.

[@luvmusic4507]

@FleetstreetVicomte: Kevin speaks fluent Mandarin, graduated Pre-Med from Yale, 2 yrs college in China, the group said he's a genius.

[@ElleKayGee]

Kirsten doesn’t speak Spanish? Maybe she’s not fluent I don’t know.

[@Ptxlive]

You should react to “perfume medley” next! Its fun and great

[@melaniebrainerd3255]

Some people don’t like this song but Ptx covered Gangnam Style by Psy a while back, when they were still doing cool sound effects. It’s in Korean and they do an incredible job of it! It’s just a fun song and I hope you will react to it! Have a nice day!

[@vis4088]

@@melaniebrainerd3255 Also the Bloopers video to their Gangnam Style Cover is really funny and definitely worth watching!

[@melaniebrainerd3255]

Yes! The bloopers video is great! And Miles, I put my comment in the wrong place, sorry! Was not meant as a reaction to your comment!

[@msmichellewinchester]

At this point I'm always surprised when you come up with new reactions to PTX, because you reacted to so many of their stuff, I'm always like: "is there anything left". But I mean, obviously there is, because their catalogue is huge. I'm sure there are things that I've missed too :D.

[@MelaniePoparad]

Their doll makeup always kinda creeps me out. It’s so perfectly done, it’s awesome! Haha

[@harryspringer2758]

Great reaction! Please consider "See Through" (Mitch-led original), "Water" (Kirstie-led original), and their Perfume Medley where they sing in Japanese. Thanks!

[@markbell4017]

I'll join you in a vote for Water. Too many reactors ignore it because it doesn't have a music video but it's a really good song. My favorite from that album is Cracked and no one reacts to it either. Water is probably 3 or maybe 4 on the album for me.

[@hellothere7699]

Its been quite a loooooooong time since ive listened to that album, I know I love it and all, but now I just really wanna go listen to it all. Thx for reminding me lollll

[@supposedly1-2]

i just wish he'd do more PTX he hasn't even come close to their best stuff yet!

[@suebob16]

Don't forget Gangnam Style by Psy!

[@BelleNewman]

Yes - please also look at Stromae’s original - you can find it with Eng subs! P.S. Scott also sang their Gangnam Style cover in Korean - so he seems to be their ‘go-to’ person singing in foreign languages (although Kirstin sounds good in Japanese, and Mitch has a good accent in French!)

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Also, in their "Despacito x Shape of You" mashup, Kirstin's Spanish is outstanding.

[@livus3787]

Stromae's is a must 👌

[@annjean9]

Thank you, not enough reactors do this one! It's a favorite of mine. The original by Stromae is really cool too. Alsox have you checked out the video for Aha! yet? The live from Singapore is obviously legend but I do like the video concept and song as they originally recorded it too. Have a great day!

[@jenniferjohnson824]

Thank you! I've bugged you to do this one so thank you!!! I just live your ptx reactions! Glad you enjoyed it. I think it's so impressive they did this since they don't speak the language but I've heard quite a few who do say they did it well. Scott is a huge Stromae fan and he loved this song.

[@shuriken4852]

My native language is French and this was pretty damn good, not perfect, but much better than Dimash singing SOS on Singer 2017, that's for sure. 😉

[@someonefromcanada2668]

His French is great. It's the story of a little boy who waits for his father to come. Papaoutai is what the actual sentence "Papa, où t'es?" sounds like and it means "Dad, where are you?". Liked your reaction! Thanks for reacting to Pentatonix videos, they're so good! :)

[@lovingtheglovedone]

I’m so glad you’re reacting to this. It is one of my favorites.

[@tmkellison4016]

I love Scott's exaggerated facial expressions. 😁

[@marcgarrett4401]

Was just watching Ptx and Lindsey singing radioactive and saw your new upload. Morning. :)

[@richtsje9961]

It's seems such a happy song , but it's actually a bit of a sad song. I love how they made the video and the collab with Lindsey was great again. You really should check out "Perfume Medley " for a Japanese vibe :)

[@billykeith7837]

Totally and excellent French! My French Client came in last week and I sent the “official video” to her.... She said most of the lyrics were “Daddy where are you?”... Love All Your Reactions!! Love from the US in South Carolina!!♥️😘

[@billykeith7837]

I’m a hairstylist and so, Vivianne came in after me sending her the KZbin video link. What is sad.... She was suppose to go to France for her Fathers 100th Birthday! Couldn’t go because of Coronavirus!! Anyway, I seem pictures and she got to FaceTime Him! Not the same, but right now Our New Normal in the USA!

[@billykeith7837]

Seen*

[@livus3787]

This is the only one where I love the original way more but then I have memories attached to it, whereelse their other covers usually introduce me to the hits am unaware of xD

[@ankhgirl3]

Hey Pat 👋🏽 Another Great PTX reaction!!! See you in the next one 😁

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

Thanks for another great video - always enjoy your reactions :-)

[@debbesumner8921]

Yep, definitely a Toy Story vibe. I’m with you...still learning English. Impressive that they learned French just for this song @FleetstreetVicomte! 😊

[@connix69]

Hey, just keep doing the PTX reactions as you can. Last time I looked they have over 150 videos, so it isn't like this is something that you can easily breeze through. Keep up the great reactions to them and you will get it eventually.

[@uwbadger79]

I was really surprised to see this reaction...I thought you must have already done this :)

[@jo-annelebel9819]

Good Morning,thanks for the reaction

[@susanb4213]

None of them speak French. The group has said in interviews that they were thrilled for Scott to take the lead on this because he has most of the hardest stuff. Just like he also learned Korean for their cover of Gangnam Style. I speak French (not a native speaker) and thought Scott did a really great job.

[@deejay136]

You have ABSOLUTELY do the Stromae version. He's a wicked artist from Belgium. Also check out Stromae Formidable.

[@Bonofox1]

😩Missing your PENTATONIX reactions!! YES! It was French!! Scott took a CRASH COURSE to make sure he got the right pronunciation!! PENTATONIX also did one in Japanese!! (Kirstie is pretty good at speaking Japanese) "Perfume Medley" and in Korean they covered Gangnam Style (for this one check it till the end for the bloopers) Then they did the Despacito/Shape Of You Mashup where Kirstie uses her Latina roots for the Spanish lyrics!!!👏☺

[@dianericciardistewart2224]

Pat, this is one of my personal faves! I watched the original. It's good as well, but, of course, I think PTX's version is much better -- not biased much, eh??!! LOL!! Thanks for the reaction! 💕💕💕

[@Anjalena]

Toy Story vibe? Sure. If your Toy Story is a story that's generally considered a topic you wouldn't usually discuss with a child in American society. But France is a different dimension, so, ya know. **giggle**

[@Catherine.Catherine]

Mitch’s French is also really good, maybe even better than Scott, coz one time in concert when Scott was unwell, Mitch took over some of the lyrics. Edit: here it is! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIu9mJ1rhtFjra8 it was live in Berlin

[@helmi9003]

Catherine Vincent I love that clip! Mitch sounds sooo good!

[@Catherine.Catherine]

• HELMI • have to admit I feel slightly guilty for liking it so much, coz poor Scott was really struggling. After his rap section, you can hear he’s really struggling in that chorus before Mitch saves the day in the next bit. Makes me feel guilty for liking the clip as much as I do.

[@helmi9003]

Catherine Vincent yeah that’s true. I do feel a bit guilty for it as well, but I just can’t help it!

[@Catherine.Catherine]

• HELMI • I know, me too, Mitch’s French is 🔥🔥

[@helmi9003]

Catherine Vincent I know, right!

[@rlhcat7662]

This is a very interesting and unique video. Please check out the original video by a French singer, Stromae, which has 700M views. In this video, it's impressive that Scott learned all the words, although he doesn't actually speak French. The original video is about a boy whose Dad goes away to fight in a war and never returns, and he asks "Papa, where are you?" The bit at the beginning where the boy is turned away by his Dad is a take on this.

[@markbell4017]

French, Japanese, Koean, English... I know they have songs or medleys in these languages and there may be one of two I'm missing. I don't know how they do it. I have a hard enough time trying to remember lyrics to a new song in English.

[@ksl-diy7243]

Their French was really good. Here’s the English translation. frenchcrazy.com/2014/10/papaoutai-english-translation-stromae.html/

[@laviniamccarney3215]

Yeah a real fun feel to it as you say it makes you think about toy story

[@wallydwulat6931]

Great reaction!! I would love to see you react to more Lindsey Stirling music videos in the future. She has done collaborations with Peter Hollens, Amy Lee (Evanescence), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm) and many more artists both on covers as well as her own original material. Here's an original MV from Lindsey's 4th album of original music. ARTEMIS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSxaHhparGjgKc

[@masestero]

it is unfortunate that english speaking can't really appreciate this song's meaning. I am french quebecer and worked for his tour, that was awesome

[@mstewart109]

Love it. Wish in English. But very clever...

[@Lauren-zp7nn]

Please consider reacting to the original, or any music by Stromae! Quand C'est is a particularly powerful one, as is Tous Les Memes

[@PaulaLPope]

They speak Japanese with a Perfume medley and Korean with Gangnam Style

[@supposedly1-2]

You should watch the original to understand it more i think, but you can get the gist of it without speaking a word of French . Those two years of French i had in high school did me no good here hahahaha

[@icantthinkofagoodname1838]

Here is the original by Stromae kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZqum2OQlL2hoMU And here are the translated lyrics. frenchcrazy.com/2014/10/papaoutai-english-translation-stromae.html/ Stromae makes incredible, meaningful music that is well worth the time it takes to dig into the meanings. Also check out Quand C'est, Alors on danse, and Ta fête.

[@aaronunsfe]

You should watch the original version.

[@Arcusfp1]

Please check out the original it will give you a much better idea of the story line
