[@leahalam1521]

scotts little voice cracks are CUTE

[@ambeauty2001]

OK so mics were off, a few notes were off, y'all this is still PTX!!! They are so great!

[@notaboutuspod]

the mic balance tho... :/

[@corinnefrancis2059]

Ptx Moments i agree usually ptx and their crew ensures the balance is superb for live shows but it missed the mark here....ugly reminder of their early days of performing thinking WHERE IS THE BASS??? lol but they did decent considering

[@Minkymink18]

Mitch gets put too low pretty often :/

[@ambeauty2001]

Damn Matt! This bass is thumping in my ears!

[@danamurfett6833]

Matt KILLED this what a king!

[@mollyb1299]

Damn this was a quick upload!!! Good job :)

[@jasonhernandez4]

They made me laugh a lot during this live stream 😂❤️❤️

[@eva_vert8942]

I love how Matt & Mitch match

[@eva_vert8942]

AAaaand we have a ship name for them LOL Match :D

[@monikac3133]

Better than Mitt :-D

[@cartoonhigh9990]

This comment section isn't allowing me to be in denial😭Just let me blindly believe everything they do is flawless!

[@brennanbarber7469]

Don't be a blind fanboy/fangirl lol it's okay to be a fan of someone and recognize that something they did wasn't very good. Just take it as a lesson that nothing is perfect, nothing will ever be "perfect", even Pentatonix. Edit: I'm a HUGE fan of them btw lol I don't want to come off as anything else

[@mollyandris7036]

People need to understand that they are human. Not every performance they do is going to be perfect, especially when they’re all so busy, especially Kirstie with Kinky boots. The mic mixing definitely didn’t help

[@sylya3578]

Molly Andris the performance is good vocaly. The problem is the difference between the mics. Kristin didn't properly warm up her voice too but she wasn't bad.

[@mollyandris7036]

YA. Syl Lang. Lys yeah I never said they were bad but they definitely weren’t at their best. I was just responding to other comments saying they were bad by reminding them that they are real people and not perfect robots

[@LP-mi6cr]

You're right, we're all so used to them being beyond perfection that the slightest defect sounds bigger than it is (that's why I cringed while watching it. It wasn't that bad, but I didn't expect it to be "that bad", if you know what I mean). They're human beings, they have schedules. I'm so glad that they managed to drop a whole album even though Matt just joined! P.S. I can't stand ppl complaining about the lack of original songs in it, like, hello, a new member just joined, they need actual time to create something together ._.

[@reneecasavant3425]

I love how this shows even how great singers have off days. Even with the trio being crazy tired

[@rhysstuller7731]

Scott sounded tired/sick, Mitch’s mic was basically off so Kirstie had a hard time staying in key. Kevin and Matt were great though! This just sounds off because they’re missing Mitch’s vocals.

[@kaia.grassyee4388]

Rhys Stuller yeah Scott and Mitch just got off of non-stop shows for Superfruit and Kirstie literally had a performance for Kinky Boots at 3pm the same day

[@Leo-tn3ep]

😂😂😂

[@songsingvinz8267]

love how you sing and dance at the same time makes watching even more enjoyable

[@thesuperduperpooper8507]

Ok I don't know about you guys but the trio was just a little off. But am I the only one who thinks Matt and kevin were killing it?

[@kaia.grassyee4388]

The mic’s definitely messed them up. Like, Mitch’s was way too low which messed Kirstie up since she has to harmonize with him. You can even see her messing with her in-ears at the beginning. She also can’t go full out since she’s starring in Kinky Boots on Broadway and had a performance at 3 pm after she performed this. Mitch and Scott also JUST got back from non-stop shows in Japan and stuff for their album so they haven’t had time to rest or rehearse or anything, Kirstie neither, which means they probably barely rehearsed before doing this. I agree though, Matt and Kevin were coping well with the situation.

[@inderahorsford7274]

TheSuper DuperPooper e

[@Muneera__]

Best performance of new rules so far ❤️

[@andreacrystal2588]

The hello at the start is so cute! Love these angels

[@nicolaechipotle2170]

That was Kirstin lol

[@dioputrapratama6073]

WE WANT MORE!!! PS: Thank you for uploading

[@JDSmith2030]

I love them so much!!! They look so adorable!!! 😍

[@livvx2756]

how low mitchs mic is pissing me off because 1. you cant fucking hear him 2. it means kirst was going out of key 3. he was having to sing louer to be heard which means all his notes sound strained in the rest of the performances. matt and kevin killed it though yes kids

[@nice._.stone.j]

Before, now, later, love youguys!!(you too, PTX Videos!!Thanks for the upload!)예지앞사!😍

[@WakeTheFallenGaming]

Why is Mitch’s mic so heckin low...

[@WakeTheFallenGaming]

rain3470 rain3470 ... I meant his mic volume..

[@clairechang1238]

Wakez *H E C K I N*

[@monikac3133]

Awww, they probably didnt have enough time to practise (because of their other activities - Superfuit, Broadway). Also maybe bad sound system. But...this was not good. Especially Kirstie and Scott. I believe theyre gonna score next time (like ussually). Still love them.

[@shayleeterrell376]

Monika C yeah. the mic balance was completely off with mitch and kevin being too low

[@monikac3133]

Shaylee Terrell Yes, thats what I thougt it too...

[@Minkymink18]

Shaylee Terrell And especially in this song, Mitch and Kirstin harmonize so Mitch being too low can make it harder for Kirstin to stay in tune. And Kirstin was saving her voice for Kinky Boots

[@shayleeterrell376]

Brittany definitely. they really couldn’t hear each other, and you can tell.

[@apc2851]

They said they practiced attention 6 times at soundcheck, so they did practice but Scott (I think it was Scott) said they were off key for some of it. They wouldn't have had much time to run through everything, though, and Kirstin has been running off a few hours sleep a night for the past couple of days. She said this was the busiest weekend of her life and that she's over-committed, so that would explain why they were a bit off. She was also fiddling with her mic pack during this. They did well considering the circumstances, though

[@stranger3913]

There album is sooooooo worth the wait 🤯😁💕

[@ajbates7025]

they should have more time to rest and practice. ik being a music artist is busy but give them slack. they sound exhausted compared to other live performances they’ve done and the mic balance was terrible

[@exequielpunzalan5098]

you can see that they are very short in breath

[@juanoliver7131]

thats why avi quits because they push theirselves too much

[@yorleyramirez2835]

I love you so much 💖💖💖

[@xreivax]

I love how they performed.

[@chrisstinnett8639]

Mic issues and harmony issues. Still love them! Everybody has bad days!

[@chantalmartel4721]

A chaque fois que je vous écoute c'est wow. Bonjour du Québec

[@chantalmartel4721]

La seule chose changer de styliste .

[@caratucker109]

Guys everybody's got to realize that they were super tired and plus the mics were super off. I still think they did amazing with what they had!!!!

[@chadrivers429]

2:21 MATT WAS FEELIN IT

[@inthegleamofnight]

Lol yeah😂😂😂

[@chelsea-dm1lv]

Oh wow, thanks!!

[@annaeschwoll2178]

Holy moly❤️❤️

[@ComradeHB]

A bad performance happens. Bad for them is still pretty impressive lol

[@fjelm297]

I miss Avi so much, but wow Matt is goooood. 🤩

[@shanlucien7305]

So no one's gonna comment on Scott's outfit?...

[@chantalmartel4721]

You were Perfect 🥇

[@jujuchan]

I mean, it wasn't bad, but sound volume was a bit off and for some reason Scott sounded a bit under the weather.

[@severefedner2388]

Everything 👏👏👏❤

[@chloecole2274]

This wasn't bad, it's hard to stay in key when all the microphones are at different volumes

[@Abchords321]

Wow thanks for uploading these! I know these is their first time live with these song, but sometimes they sound a little off... like in the “tm” of the chorus. Not gonna like, I feel sometimes it was Kirstin, and Scott also was taking the mic in parts that he supposed to sing, to give it a more feeling to it. I love them, but this wasn’t their best performance at all... but I don’t blame them, I’m pretty sure Kirstin was tired because she is in Kinky Boots and Pentatonix, and she was off because Mitch mic was TOO low and Scott does that sometimes just for style.

[@mk-_-7660]

I was watching this!

[@zoriktoukheev6872]

you mean u were there?

[@mk-_-7660]

Zorikto Ukheev no I was watching it being live streamed. I wish I could've been there tho

[@selma6306]

I love it! 😍

[@philmorrow4400]

I'm going to assume that they weren't given ample opportunity to really warm up & get TT's system adjusted for them because they did sound a wee bit off but they still sounded awesome. I will say that I was surprised Kistrin was holding back a bit on the high notes...but I do know they were all operating on veryyyyyy little sleep so that could have been another factor. Can't wait to see them live in September and see how much better they sound!!!🤗🤗

[@Ladyboe]

This is pretty good! Love the fact that Mitch shaved his stash, he looks more like the angel he isn’t lol, J.K. he’s a doll! 😘

[@burntlu5083]

Thanks for this 😍

[@jennb2954]

Live is always different than studio recording. They did good, but the mics didn't seem optimal either.

[@jasminegabaldon4525]

Yes this isn't their best performances, but cut them some slack. This is one of the first times they have performed the new songs. But don't suddenly assume they are bad, we have seen them give absolutely breathtaking performances, and I'm sure the more they sing this, it will be just as amazing and beautiful, just be a bit patient :))

[@justjaxx2645]

so okay, they weren’t bad. kirstie couldn’t hear mitch, mitch basically had to SCREAM TO BE HEARD! it’s not them, they don’t sound tired, IMAGINE THE PANIC WHEN YOU CAN ONLY HEAR 4/5 OF A BAND THE RELIES ON EVERY SINGLE PERSON!!!! they have had awful luck with mic balance and mic quality recently; if any of y’all saw live with kelly and ryan, you know what i mean. just had to say this cause it’s ANNOYING ME how so many people are like “oh they’re so bad” or “kirstie went off key” like it’s NOT HER

[@Aiomean]

scott... JUST KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER ON THE HIGHHOENEEEEIGJRIWSSSS

[@chloecole2274]

😍😍😍😍😍 IM IN LOVE

[@Chief-Phungwako]

can someone talk about KO and Matt's performance? very much same as in the original record

[@lpjm]

i cant hear kevin ):

[@evansphenomenal]

L PJM his microphone was the problem

[@cateryan5378]

Mitch Wears the weirdest/best outfits I've ever seen 😄

[@danielc9509]

They sound exhausted 😭.

[@AUishere_]

wow that mic balance is amazing! in all seriousness, they sound tired :((

[@landawille7088]

AU forgold, amazing??? I cant hear Mitch and Kirstie and you call it "amazing mic balance"?

[@AUishere_]

It is sarcasm, my friend

[@gabbyandniah7044]

They most definitely are tired. Kirstin was balancing between Broadway and Ptx so her voice was extremely tired from all the singing. This was actually around the time Matt was really sick, a lot of people don't know that but if you look on his Twitter around this time you'll know what I mean. So if he's unwell he's gonna be really tired. And to be honest they were in Kentucky then had to go to New York so they were just exhausted from being up and down the country for their new album.

[@rais14]

GET IT MATT

[@wodarchives3384]

It was still good don't get me wrong, but I feel like they should have given themselves a break and then perform. I would have rather waited another few days to hear them because they have been busy as hell, and not enough time to practice. Also those mics are garbage.

[@ivandizon2673]

0:41 sounded really bad or it is just me 🤔

[@dadadrdadadr]

vinz dizon it's not just you

[@skydlimit7583]

You should do friends by Marshmallow and Anne Marie

[@sofijalackovic934]

Yaass, when did they perform this?

[@PTXVideos]

Just now :)

[@sofijalackovic934]

PTX Videos Wow! Thanks for filming it! ❤️

[@OviraptorMe]

¡YEAH!!!!!!

[@holliedibrell]

also mitches mic ? scott sounded a little sick too

[@samr1473]

Aww they sounded so tired. They sounded great but not their best performance :(

[@pinky211996]

Poor mitch, he did say he wasn't feeling well, didn't he was gonna be here, he should be resting..

[@kitablu8254]

I 💟 Pentatonix😍😍😍😍😍 Hi Mitch

[@jphoenixjohnson8187]

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to see the livestream due to an emergency with my child. Will it be available on KZbin?

[@PTXVideos]

It is available right now, the link is in the description of this video :)

[@trizzybrownie7929]

Whoever set those volumes on the mics deserve a special place in hell😑

[@anthony8382]

I don't see what was particularly wrong with that performance - I think you're reacting to recording balance issues caused by position of the microphone WRT the speakers. Live is never going to sound quite like studio mixed and balanced.

[@loisjackson1194]

I love PTX no matter what, but daaamn this actually reminded me of that scene in Pitch Perfect 1 where the new Bellas first performed in a frat party lol it felt like they were just doing their own thing and not really in sync with each other. 😬 i’m sure better live performances will come soon, they probably just need to rest this off cos they sounded tired af.

[@Karlsteins]

I just want to say as a ptx fans since they're on sing-off all of the recent live performance were not their best but not even close to the word 'BAD'

[@monika-chan5834]

My babies ❤️

[@aprilosem]

💛💜❤💚💙👏

[@ilu3290]

😍😍🎶🎶

[@ggideonsilva]

They still sound pretty good despite the fact it's early in the morning, they haven't had a lot of time to practice, Kirstie's voice needs to rest, and the mic balance is terrible. It was a little clumsy, but they still sound like angels

[@yvettemaldonado3725]

The babies sounded exhausted and under the weather 😭😭😭😭😭 get some rest and medicine

[@ZoeDelToro]

i think mitch and kirstin were off the whole time. scott sounded a little off pitch as well but matt and kevin sounded pretty good :)

[@Anita-ou5oj]

what happen with themmmmm??? :(((

[@winstonbaculio8283]

matt did not get the first note again .hihi :)

[@iishadowii7477]

I can't keep lying to myself, I miss Avi. :( (It doesn't mean I don't love Matt tho)

[@anthonybaso6516]

What the heck is up with the mics?

[@vrnz9]

what happened..

[@shayleeterrell376]

Photo Gamez bad sound system and the trio haven’t been able to really rest their voices lately because they’ve been so busy

[@marlafredericks]

Matt is off, his notes are strong but not matching with the trio, what’s up with that

[@tjmccullum2064]

Did Scott gain weight?

[@j.43]

As good as the studio version if not better

[@ragazzopigro97]

A * I disagree

[@j.43]

Lorenzo lol why?

[@vickiehitch6436]

I too disagree

[@oofed1980]

I three disagree.

[@j.43]

Everybody's attacking me, 😖😖😖

[@odieredila]

what.... happened

[@lawrencelardizabal9145]

They don't normally sound like this and kirstin appears to be struggling with her notes. Nonetheless, they did a great job!

[@PTXVideos]

Kirstin is probably trying to save her notes/voice for her Kinky Boots show.

[@madranhull9088]

Love pentatonix, but I really don't like these performances, I'm hoping it's just because kirsties voice is tired and mitches mic is low ...

[@lisamartinez179]

Am I the only one thinking that they are getting bad in live?I mean I adore them,they're like family for me but they are really bad on this live...My opinion.

[@kalei49]

Lisa Martinez This was the first time they’ve ever performed this, and it’s more of a corporate event, so the mic balance is absolutely crap. Give them time to get used to songs/arrangements and get their mic balance straight and they’ll sound much better.

[@WakeTheFallenGaming]

Lisa Martinez Mitch’s mic’s was hella low, and Kirstie goes off key often as hell when his mic is off, that’s what I’m gonna blame it on.

[@ragazzopigro97]

They sound a bit tired

[@LP-mi6cr]

I agree! This performance honestly made me cringe. But I don't think that they're "getting bad in live" performances in general. It looks (and sounds) like they didn't have much time to rehearse (and this mashup is very difficult to do anyway) or rest their voices properly. Scott's voice in particular sounded very tired and overused, and that's likely due to the fact that Superfruit performed their whole album at PopSpring 2018 in Japan not a while ago. This being said, I still love them, and I hope they'll get their time to rest before the tour.

[@vickiehitch6436]

I agree, I have never heard them like this before. could be the mikes. they may be tired. I am sure that by their tour time they will have everything under control and sound great. I am going to their 2 nd stop on their tour in the states. hoping they sing some of the oldies when Avi was with them. I like some of the new ones but like the old ones more.

[@anthonynevarez318]

I think they're singing a little not too good cause i think they were trying sing gently

[@maggiet5417]

I think it's mostly because their mics weren't properly balanced

[@lunad4751]

oof

[@holliedibrell]

not the best performance they’ve done :|

[@victorramos793]

I am the only one who thinks they were super out of tune ?? They sounded better when I was avi kaplan, honestly!

[@xavimace9483]

This was really bad...
