[@Sport_Oh]

Mitch's ability to switch from chest to head voice and back effortlessly in the chorus in Gold is spectacular.

[@grazynawikert-unger2122]

From the reactors I have recently watched, you are the only one who hears so much detail, judges the performance of the songs very well and pays attention to the individual members of the band. You can see that you know what you are talking about. Thank you.

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate this comment

[@carolalara2041]

Completely agree

[@lexymish990]

You know that is Tmbalands beats that Kevin is doing. Scott said that he overheard Kevin mashing these two songs up and wanted the band to do it. I'm glad you did Avi and Matt back to back. Avi hand-picked Matt to replace him. Matt is a ball of joy and sunshine, much like you are.

[@QofyReacts]

Kevin is so amazing at what he does and so is Matt

[@lexymish990]

@@QofyReacts Most definitely. Kevin has said Matt is a little brother to him now

[@sannalopperi-vihinen233]

Avi didn’t pick Matt. Ben Bram found him and the the other PTX members (sans Avi) chose him out of several candidates.

[@DelGuy03]

I always enjoy your Pentatonix reactions so much, because you are one of the rare reactors who actually LISTENS and picks up details of arrangement and performance -- when something delights you like the trio trade-off in "Gold" or the bell-tones in "New Rules etc.", that makes me happy because they delight me too. I think we hear similarly. I think you would get even more fun out of the second number if you acquaint yourself with the original individual songs "New Rules" and "Are You That Somebody", because PTX uses the beat pattern of the second song underneath the tune of the first one. It's really clever.

[@QofyReacts]

We probably have the same hearing taste haha

[@yvettemaldonado3725]

Matt killed the bass and Kevin and Matt together is Awesome! Kirstie and Mitch combination was fantastic! Scott is always bad ass! Love these guys! Great reaction as always please stay safe 😍

You mean Avi. No Matt here.

[@liloisreal2129]

@@kathrynphelps9771 I think they meant in the last song after the first one

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

I felt like this was a reset for the group, and Matt stepped up to show what the group could be now with him fully stepping into the bass role. The play between Kevin and Matt was what made it for me :-) Watched your reaction to "Run To You" and now I'm having to go back and catch all the PTX reactions you've done - really appreciate your analysis and enthusiasm!

[@QofyReacts]

You are well appreciated

[@davidbangtson3109]

How they can keep their timing so perfect is beyond my ability to understand, especially with the staccato-like pattern in this song.

[@QofyReacts]

Couldn’t agree more

[@ebiographie]

I’ve been watching your reactions since you had around 100 subs. But I come back to this one because it has one of my fav PTX covers EVER, one of my favs featuring Matt, and your reaction is so fun and informative and you appreciate everything they do…. This is a perfect example of why I subbed and I can’t help being proud to see how much the channel has grown!

[@taniareads8751]

OMG your smile starting New Rules x Are you that Somebody - love it!

[@QofyReacts]

Don’t me blush 😁

[@Catherine.Catherine]

Hey QoFy, hey QoFy gang 👋! Two amazing songs, Gold is one of my favourites. You know that Kiiara needs special effects to do what our wonderful Mitchy can do at the drop of a hat? And they way the trio are so tight at the end ... you can tell they’ve been singing together a loooooong time! I would love your reaction to PTX’s cover of You’re A Mean One Mr Grinch, I don’t think you’ve done it yet 🤔. Matt takes the lead. It’s awesome. I love it!

[@QofyReacts]

Hey Catherine 🙌🏾 Stay tuned for that too, it’s on the list haha

[@Catherine.Catherine]

QoFyReacts ooh, goody, looking forward to it! 😁

[@geriatricptxer2362]

Yes, everyone is surprised at the end when they split the part up into three (it just shows how in sync the trio can be). Especially after Mitch covers all three octaves his own the first three times most reactors have to go back and listen to end over again. As for the bell tones, it's Mitch, Kirstie, Scott, Mitch again (but very lightly).

[@QofyReacts]

Ahh that makes sense

[@elainecourteau6231]

What a great way to mimic the sampling bounce, one or two words each, and that note Kirstie sings that changes the chord... their arrangements are SICK. I love their blend especially when they do a swelling note, they breathe together. You have a good ear, Sir. 🤗

[@QofyReacts]

Couldn’t agree more and thank you Elaine

[@BrendanZanitCoen]

They do the bell tones in a triplet and then on 4/4 the second time. XD.

[@gracieladuarte1267]

Omgosh your smile is beautiful as your listening to Mitch and the rest killing it! Awesome reaction ❤️

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you ☺️

[@kristingranlund800]

I don't think I saw it, but if you haven't yet, Say Something is a really great one and it showcases Kirsty. Along with Shallow, too. I have really been enjoying seeing all of the new people watching ptx cause it's bringing me back to my first days watching them. And yours is such a great one to watch cause your reactions are that of a true pentaholic.

[@QofyReacts]

Stay tuned for more !

[@Scrub_Jake]

I’m sure you get this a lot but you have great ears brotha 👌🏽 very very verrrry few people catch as much as you did in PTX reactions, kudos 🤜🏽

[@dawncastrogiovanni3915]

One of my many favourites of theirs.

[@Doinita.]

Two of my favorite covers of theirs and best reactions as always 😍😊

[@jcs1025]

Matt kills it on bass for New Rules. For Gold, i love how Avi and Kirstie harmonize the bass line. It’s perfection.

[@davidbangtson3109]

I did catch the 4 quick tones. Thanks for pointing that out. Not sure I would have noticed otherwise.

[@QofyReacts]

It’s very subtle

[@jamielane3371]

Great reaction! So glad you did Gold, it’s a personal favorite. 😊 Enjoying the channel very much! Would love to see your thoughts on their version of Silent Night. It’s live and off mic and so beautiful.

[@fisherri1961]

This is why I love your reactions; nobody else caught the "bells". Idk if they all thought they were actual bells. I watched several times trying to figure out who did them. Obviously mitch (who seems to be able to imitate anything), I'm still not 100% sure if it's just him. Anyway you are outstanding!

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

You have such a great ear for music - love how intent you are, makes for a great reaction :-) Thanks!

[@allybandy3047]

Their dynamics are sick!! 🔥

[@QofyReacts]

Agreed

[@jessegirlb]

OMG. This is one of my faves, and I never heard that little growl at the end before! Great ears, man.

[@QofyReacts]

Thank you

[@PtxXtp]

Beyoncé didn’t do this it was actually a mash up of New Rules by Dua Lipa and Are you that Somebody by Aaliyah. If you want to see them do Beyoncé they have an evolution of Beyoncé also done live in the recording studio. All their evolutions are great. They also have Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Ariana Grande and evolution of Music. Or if you want to check out Superfruit ( Mitch and Scott’s side project) they also have a Beyoncé medley worth reacting to.

[@QofyReacts]

Ah cheers that’s what it was

[@jamiemitchell8281]

Great reaction, thank you! This is one of my favorite mashups, and you’re right that the way Kevin starts it out just sets this level of perfection that the rest of them bring to the table. I also love how you describe or explain how PTX doesn’t leave any “gaps” in the flow of their music. They have such a sophistication with all their projects. Sometimes for fun I like to look at two of their videos from their first year following their start on KZbin, one is We Are Ninjas (advertising for the Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie in 2014 and Cruising for a Bruising in 2013). You should look at both during the same reaction, they are shorter presentations but so much fun. They are such babies but you can see their evolution starting!

[@QofyReacts]

Glad you enjoyed this! I will check out the 2 songs

[@manuelodonnell1148]

@@QofyReacts Did you notice that the bell tones were longer notes the first time (and third), than they were the second (and fourth) time they sang them? Little stuff like that is part of what makes them so good.

[@QofyReacts]

Manuel O'Donnell Yes I did

[@katiejones9106]

I think you picked up on it, but just in case: In the beginning it is all Mitch. Later, when the part is reprised, it is the trio.

[@QofyReacts]

I was referring to the trio yes

[@richtsje9961]

Loved your reaction ! Gold is one of my favorites , it has such a nice vibe ! And the "bouncing " between Mitch and Kirstie is called echoing ( I think ) , they also do that in "Valentine" . The voices of Kirstie and Mitch blend so well together and seem to sound as one sometimes . The same goes for Scott and Avi , soo special !!

[@QofyReacts]

So true I will check that out

[@wcmatta]

Great reaction! You pointed out so many of us would simply miss. Thanks!

[@QofyReacts]

I appreciate that!

[@vidsorama2]

You just reacted to two of my favorite PTX covers, thank you. It's fun watching others appreciate and enjoy the magic that is PTX. Suggestions: "Evolution of Rihanna", "Havana", "Radioactive", "Say Something", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?", "La La Latch", "When The Party's Over" "Can't Help Falling In Love With You'', "Come Along".

@@QofyReacts I'm here for ya bud

[@lurker1107]

I always love reactors that catch and love my favorite parts of their arrangements and you did both! The switching in Gold and the bell tones in New Rules/Are You That Somebody (which was actually an Aaliyah song, produced by Timbaland - PTX used that beat over New Rules). In Gold, PTX uses the switching to make it sound like the vocals are more computerized. If you hear the original Gold, that part is all computers. They did the same thing in their Daft Punk medley. It always amazes me!

[@gerrimesack7166]

Scott does the fourth bell I think. Nice reactions!

[@QofyReacts]

I believe he did or Matt

[@manuelodonnell1148]

@@QofyReacts I thinks it just happens to be the placement of Matt's bass note there, that makes it a (sort of coincidental) fourth bell tone. When they do the bell tones the first and third times, they're dotted notes, and I think the third one actually hits at the same time as Matt's bass note, so you only hear the three. But on the second (and fourth) run, they're just regular quarter notes, so his bass note hits right after the third, making it sound like a fourth.
