Thanks for this, Duane. There's only been one member change....Avi, the bass singer ( guy with the beanie) left in 2017 and Matt Sallee became their bass. He's been there since 2018, so 6 years now. He's a wonderful bass with a lovely warm voice. This was recorded about a year after Sony dropped their recording contract they'd won for The Sing Off in 2011. The group decided that since they'd all just moved to LA when that cancellation happened, that they'd just continue by practising lots and recording themselves singing on a couch and recorded the pieces on Mitch's iPhone and loading on their KZbin channel. They didn't give up, got noticed, won a Grammy a year later and gained another recording contract with Madison Gate a subsidiary of Sony.

THIS was the first piece I ever heard from Pentatonix back in 2012. I've been a Pentaholic ever since. Hardly a day goes by that they aren't in my ears in some way...either from KZbin...or from CDs I have. They are incredible!!!!!!!!

[@catherinelopresti7121]

That is why we say they don't do covers, they do upgrades.

[@DuaneReacts]

💯

[@marablemorgan8292]

Remember, PTX doesn't do covers... They do upgrades!!!

[@df5199]

Recommend their live performance video of Kiss From A Rose.

[@kristipierce4735]

They’re such a gift to the planet.

[@rlhcat7662]

This was the first video I ever saw them do - and it still blows me away. It's such a great song, but the intensity of how they did this really makes it come alive. I like what you said about old relationships, and how painful it is to share a part of yourself with someone, and then just let it all go. Thanks for the great reaction - new sub!

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

TX for this. Love this. Greetings from South Africa

[@Badger77722]

Babytonix! This is an example from early Pentatonix of a technique they've used quite a bit over the years - each member of the Trio is singing a completely different rhythm and melody (which, as a non-singer, I would think would be confusing as hell!), and somehow they bring it all back around in the end and end up singing together. Cheerleader and Perfume medley (in the beginning) come to mind immediately, but I'm sure there are others if I could get my brain to work this morning.

[@stephaniem2007]

Their newest non-Christmas original was “I Rise,” done last year. There is no official music video, but do the audio only version- it will blow your mind.

[@mel3268]

Funny, I was listening to I Rise last weekend and my son came in the room asked who it was. He couldn’t believe it when I said it was PTX.

[@imtherapycat]

I loved your reaction to another great PTX cover! And I also appreciate your thoughts about walking away from a relationship and the pieces we leave behind. I totally get what you mean.

[@xx1CRU]

I've never really thought of ex-gf's like that, but after how you explained it, that does make a little sense. And you're right, they do make every song better😅 They work so well together, each person is like a part of the machine called a "Pentatonix" and when you feed a song into it, it comes out better.. if that made sense, it did in my head😂😂😂 You should check out their run to winning that show "The Sing-Off", it was bananas!! I still remember them doing the song "Down" by.. I forget the artist, but it was incredible. And their mashups are CRAZY!! I think the dude that beatboxes is named Kevin, he is a beast!! Especially for what they ask him to do. I've been a huge fan of Pentatonix since I saw them on that "The Sing-Off" show. Pentatonix was to "The Sing-Off" as The Jabawokeez was to "America's Best Dance Crew". I used to love that show too😅 You should do some reactions to some of those ABDC performances like Jabawokeez and stuff. I haven't seen other people do them, so I don't know how popular they would be tho😅 Always a dope reaction!!✌️❤️🫡

[@studentofthesaviors.o.s]

Duane you gotta check out ALI TOMINEEK - JULY 3RD. Absolutely powerful song and highly underrated… hit me to the core

[@gordon9995]

Avi is the only one who left. Matt Salee came on board.

[@MelaniePoparad]

I actually feel similarly about some of my ex’s. I don’t maintain familiarity with them because it provides an avenue of possible distrust with the new relationships

[@staciemoisa4884]

Avi Kaplan is the only change to the group. He left in 2017 and now has a solo career. His music is incredible and worth checking out whether you do a reaction or not. As for relationships ending, breakups can be the same as mourning a death. For some, it takes time to mourn the relationship before moving on. Staying in touch is a big NO, especially if you were the one to get hurt. It is a weird feeling after all you shared, but when you think of it like a loss, it is easier to compartmentalize and move forward.

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

EVER SINCE 2011 ONLY 1 MEMBER LEFT THE GROUP AMICABLY.

[@AlyVee11]

OMG lol I haven't seen this in so long, I'm FB friends with Mitch lol I think they are from Arlington, that's like 15 min from me.

[@DuaneReacts]

I’m coming

[@AlyVee11]

@@DuaneReacts lmaoooo smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@carolcraig9008]

Babytonix. One of their first videos. Don’t think they had a record deal yet. Also only one member changed. Avi (base) left on good terms 2017. They brought Matt in as their new base in 2017.

[@nathanward9991]

Still prefer the original but they really are great at what they do.really wonder how long it takes for them to do a cover

[@shreyashsoni3575]

Duane where you at ? kr$na dropped a fucking surprise EP ! Do react on that, Im sure you'll be surprised by the vibe of the songs

[@DuaneReacts]

Didn’t even know about it, if theres English subtitle videos up I’ll get to it over the next day or two

[@marablemorgan8292]

Only Avi left. :(
