Pentatonix - Shallow - Reaction

[@larrywt656]

My favorite thing about this video is watching Kirstie & Scott, two life-long friends who are as close as siblings, emoting off each other in this duet performance. That alone makes this version SO much better than the original. If you want to see a similar (yet much more tongue-in-cheek) performance by the two of them...along with Mitch...you should check out Superfruit's "Frozen Medley" featuring Kirstie. It's amazingly poignant, shockingly accurate AND side-splittingly hilarious too.

[@shaunagriffin1178]

Oh my Gosh I love watching your reactions. You are the best and you show others that you can react Without cursing and get your point across so well speaks volumes. Thank you so much for doing what you do, also....thanks bunches to your Wife for sharing you with us.

[@rocksolidreactions3901]

Lol, thank you and I agree with you Shauna, I just don’t feel like it adds anything to the video by doing it. Kind of a rule of thumb for me is if I wouldn’t want my kids to watch it then it probably shouldn’t be in there. She’s the best, and I love her to death, thanks for watching!

You're welcome! I knew you'd love it! Honestly, when you first stared into the camera when Kevin started, I felt like you were saying "you couldn't have warned me??" 🤣 Nope! The looks were priceless! The black and white with gold accents was a homage to the album cover for "A Star is Born" soundtrack, so I've been told. I believe this was shot in a hotel but I don't know the name or where.

[@ritathomas5167]

I have never in my life encountered a musical group that was the entire, total package. Pentatonix brings every talent they possess to every single musical moment they give us. They are just gorgeous people to look at, they each have uncommon vocal skills, the emotion they bring (be it happy, sad, or anywhere in between), not to mention acting skills, are just remarkable. I cried my eyes out the first time I saw this video. The emotion Scott and Kirstin bring is just brilliant. I also wanted to point out an extremely awesome talent that Matt brings. At about the 6:33 to 6:35 mark in your video here, you will hear Matt doing a bass slide. He starts out on a low bass note, then perfectly "slides" his voice up an octave or so - much like a bass guitar would. I have heard him do this in many of their songs now. It is an incredibly difficult thing to do - and have it come out in absolutely perfect bass pitch. Ever since this was pointed out to me, I always listen for that by Matt. He is a master! They all are! Oh - another beautiful song of Pentatonix is an Ed Sheeran cover of "Perfect". You should check that out also!

[@Karen-Campos]

With the trio being theater & choir kids growing up, their acting & emotions really come thru when they’re singing! Kirsten has been on Broadway, so there’s that too!

Watching Blake Shelton on the voice. You hear him say that the best singers can tell a story and draw you in and make you feel it. What PTX does best is draw you in and make you feel it with every song they do. They are so good I've been a fan since day 1 of the Sing-Off

[@keddiewye6517]

Thank you for your great reactions! It’s why I subscribed over a month ago. IMHO this song showcases Kevin’s cello playing the best. He plays cello in several other videos but this is the one that gives me goosebumps every time. Beyoncé, (yes, that’s the name he gave to his cello) has a beautiful rich sound to her.. Scott and Kirstin performed their parts to perfection. Matt and Mitch filled in perfectly with the harmonies. Truly one of their best covers!

@@rocksolidreactions3901 if you do I would check out the live version of can’t sleep love from the 2016 pop spring performance. They added a rap to it that Tink sang on their album but Mitch’s sings it when they do it live and he just shines in it. The popspring is also professionally recorded so the audio and video is really good quality. You can do the individual song but if you look it up a 15 min video will pop up. It has can’t sleep love plus 2 more originals and their Michael Jackson medley. Don’t worry 15 min isn’t too long. We pentaholics love it when reactors watch it.

Yes, Kevin invented cello boxing. He was praised by Yo yo Ma when Kevin won second place in a competition that mr ma puts on for world class cellists. Kevin also plays sax and piano. Has played in Carnegie hall with both cello and sax. You got Mitch slapped by the entire group, again. You were saying that it sounded like Kirstie was crying, and in a way, she was. What she was doing is actually called a vocal cry. Considering how young they were when they started, and where they are now, to how much farther they are probably going to go. Can hardly wait to see.

[@heidifruchtl354]

@@rocksolidreactions3901 hopefully you go back and watch the video after. There is one thing that you missed. I missed it also, but read about it on the PTX page in the comments. At one point, Kevin plays a small section from lady gaga's bad romance on beyonce. Yes, he named his cello. At the concert my hubby took me to a couple of years ago, he played the song that caught Scott's attention on KZbin and that's why there's actually 7 pentatonix members. 8, if you still count Avi. Kevin, beyonce, Scott, Mitch, Kirstie, Matt, and ben bram. Yes, they ooze talent. I've had people argue with me that Mitch can't do what he does without help. I've watched interview videos when he copies the sound of a marker squeaking on a white board. Yes, Mitch and Kirstie can both sing whistle notes. Kirstie is so bad ass that she can go on tour with a broken ankle, plus film multiple song videos with said broken bone. Scott pretty much lives for the work and is constantly thinking of who, what, when, where and how. Kevin, is also constantly working on other things, which is why he sings more. A fun video for you, in the new year, should probably be the teenage mutant ninja turtles song. Kevin wrote it, and raps most of it. It's a short video, but so much fun.

Kevin made a video celloboxing. It was what inspired Scott and Ben Bram to recruit him. Kevin also speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese. If you want to see something fascinating, go watch the Acapop!Kids do this song. It's very different from this but it stll has Pentatonix written all over it. That's because Acapop!Kids are Scott and Ben's brainchildren. I'm happy they are teaching the next generation. and they are not dumbing things down for the kids.
