Pentatonix - The Recording of Evergreen

[@uniquehandlegoeshere]

Just seeing the absolute creative GENIUS behind them progressing "over the river and through the wood" was mind blowing. The talent and creativity of this team is bliss to watch. Thank you for your gift of music to all of us Pentatonix!

Grammy, shmammy. Recognition by the Recording Academy is nice but relatively trivial in the greater scheme of things. Creating art, being heard and embraced by the people is where it's at. And they're there.

[@melissacoviello2886]

@@retread1083 it’s relevant when it comes to being taken seriously in the industry. If they actually got the recognition they deserved they’d have even more awards. Of course the love of music and their crazy amounts of talent, and creativity are more important than 3 Grammys, but the Grammys are way cool and well deserved.

[@retread1083]

@@melissacoviello2886 Jimi Hendrix never received even ONE Grammy yet he changed the course of rock music and is far more "recognized" by the public than hundreds of Grammy recipients. Diana Ross -- no Grammy wins. Queen - no Grammy wins. ABBA - no Grammy wins. Anyone who uses the number of Grammys as a metric needs to find a better yardstick.

Yep, they are not "just" amazing singers (which is impressive enough). But they are skilled and creative musicians. There is a reason 2 of their grammys are for arrangements.

First excuse my English. I live in a town in South Germany, and every year we have on concert in front of the highest church in the world. A lot of stars was singing there : pink, elton john, scorpions, Joe crocker, Liza minelli, simply red and and and. It would be the greatest for me to hear pentatonix sing there. I wish you all a peacfull Christmas and a lucky new year with health.

[@susanb4213]

I love seeing how the creative process works. Anyone who doubts that all five (plus Ben) actually do the arranging should watch this video. I also enjoyed their calm dynamic and how they don't take offense to ideas to make it better, and also how they praise each other when they do things well. I also like how they keep a sense of humor about it and seem to truly enjoy working together. Yes, the camera is on them and they know it, but I don't think they are THAT talented as actors.
