there is only 1 new person, and that would be Matt Sallee who came in 2017 when Avi left for personal reasons, and yes you were correct Mitch is still there, he and Kirstie change their looks regularly and it throws people when they see them thinking that there is someone new.

LOL! Mitch and Kirstin throw people off by changing up their look so often. This was Mitch’s mullet phase. The more you hear them, though, the more you’ll recognize their very unique vocal timbres in the arrangements, and the more you watch them, the more you’ll know their pretty faces. I honestly have no idea how a total of six people can be so talented and also so darn lovely - and nice! I’m sure they must be violating some sort of cosmic law, but I’m here for it, lol! Matt joined the band in 2017. He has a gorgeous and flexible voice that suits the group very well, plus I can’t get enough of his joyful energy. In concert he just radiates joy and I can’t help smiling whenever I see him.

This is my favorite cover of this song. Two originals you should check out from them are Be My Eyes and Coffee in Bed. Their originals do not get enough coverage. They are so good. Just FYI, Mitch changes his looks often.

How did you not recognize Mitch !! When you start seeing all their recordings you will see that they ALL continue to change their clothing, hair (color/cut) their looks. in 13 years only one change in group...Avi left in late 2017 due to continued traveling and being away from family (left very amicably), and was replaced by Matt. I know that you are going pretty much thru their evolution, but you MUST react a couple of more recent releases...."Kiss From A Rose " (Seal), and "O Holy Night" (Xmas album)...will blow your mind as to their development !!!

The members of #Pentatonix. In this song: • First verse, tall blond guy: Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. In describing a man's vocal range, "lyric" means that the actual range exceeds the nominal range. In Scott's case, he sings everywhere from about the middle of a normal bass range through a normal tenor range, with an excellent falsetto on top. In live performances Scott typically takes over the bass harmony line when their bass has a solo. • Second verse, dark haired guy next to Scott: Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), contratenor. Mitch has a range of just over 6 octaves, but he's most comfortable in his higher registers. He switches between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice seamlessly, and is known for his ethereal high solos. Everyone in Pentatonix says he has the best voice of any of them. • Third verse, black guy in a white jacket on the far left: Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass. It's hard to be sure just what Matt's range is, because it's still growing. To find his current range I recommend listening to a a recent live performance of "Hallelujah," though you may want to watch their official video of "Hallelujah" first so you can hear what it sounded like with their original bass, Avi Kaplan, who left Pentatonix in 2017 for personal reasons. You can find the recording with Matt here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaTc6B6mb-ojpI Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, which is fantastic. His lowest notes don't blow out speakers the way Avi's have done (though they may within a year or two), but on the high end his falsetto can match Kevin's. • Fourth verse, the only woman in Pentatonix: Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, alto and soprano. Kirstin sings anywhere from a low alto (though not contralto, which is the female equivalent of baritone) through coloratura soprano, the highest female range. And she has whistle notes on top of that which are off the charts. Lately Pentatonix has begun referring to her as an "alto soprano." • The fifth member of Pentatonix is the black guy on the right: Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), beatboxer extraordinaire. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on the cello and once on the saxophone. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place. Matt joined Pentatonix in late 2017 or early 2018 (depending on how you figure it), after their original bass left the group for personal reasons in 2017; he has now been with Pentatonix longer than their original bass was. Which brings us to the one member of Pentatonix who doesn't appear in this video: • Bearded white guy who usually wore a beanie or stocking cap: Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo - his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances - but his range extends upward to about the middle of the tenor range. Since leaving Pentatonix Avi has gone on to have an extremely successful solo career; I highly recommend subscribing to his KZbin channel, which you can find here: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic The appearance of Mitch and Kirstin tends to vary greatly from one video to another, so people will frequently think they see someone new in Pentatonix when it's really Kirstin or Mitch. With these two, go by their voices, not their appearance; their voices don't lie. To be clear: Avi is the ONLY member who's left Pentatonix and Matt is the ONLY member who joined later.

Ok, now that you've been introduced to Matt, you guys can listen to a few more of their best ones; Amazing Grace, The Prayer, & Kiss From a Rose... And of course you can start to get into their Christmas music, which includes perhaps their best song of all time, O Holy Night!

@SaintedKarma 2 ай бұрын

There’s so many songs PTX have done you’re in for a treat I’d personally recommend these few 1- The Prayer (more recent one but Scott sings in near perfect Italian) 2- 90s Medley (huge nostalgia hit and a massive bop) 3- Bohemian Rhapsody (you had a taste in the evolution of music but they did a full version/ original artist loved their version too) 4- Evolution of Michael Jackson (it’ll remind you how many songs MJ released that are amazing and they somehow blend a tonne into one song) 5- Sing (a super feel good song and video) 6- 12 days of Christmas (short song but showcases how good they are at arrangements) 7- you’re a mean one mr grinch (festive song for December 😁)

@ecmonkey13 2 ай бұрын

Core members are Scott, Mitch, Kirstin(all three froma Texas High School) and Kevin was recruited right before their TV broadcasted show debut. [Avi was also recruited for the show but eventually left due to multiple different reasons] The only "new" member is Matt(guy with white jacket). He was recruited within a year of Avi's sudden departure. People often get confused with Kirstin and Mitch changing their looks frequently but i find it refreshing.

Thanks, guys! Yup...they upgrade every song they cover, as we pentaholics have always said. By now everyone has told you that Matt Sallee is the "new" ( not really new these days since he's been with the group for over 6 years). Matt is actually a baritone ( same category as Scott...the tall blond dude) but Matt's vocal range is lower than Scott's and getting lower as he trains and matures. He also has a surprising falsetto! Recommend some originals for you guys: Coffee in Bed, Be My Eyes, Happy Now, Love Again.

I'm not certain that you've actually *heard* the original, since you never mention Simon and Garfunkel, who were an American folk rock duo in the 1960s. It was written by Paul Simon, and they first released it in January, 1966. In the nearly 60 years since then, it has been covered by numerous bands and singers. There has been much speculation about the meaning of "Sound of Silence." Because it was released shortly after President Kennedy's assassination, many people thought it was about that. Some people think that Paul Simon foresaw the internet. Some people think it's set in the aftermath of a global catastrophe, either nuclear war or climate change. But Paul Simon did talk about this, and here's what he had to say: "…we have people unable to touch other people, unable to love other people. This is a song about the inability to communicate."

Oh, man. I knew as soon as I heard you say that Mitch was missing that you would be getting raked in the comments for not recognizing him! It's really not completely surprising, he and Kirstin tend to change their looks a lot - probably more than the rest of the group combined! I'm actually a little surprised you recognized Kirstin - this look for her seems to have been almost a one-off, she hasn't looked quite like this in any other videos I can think of, and since she's often a blonde, it's quite a change for her. Matt in the white jacket at the end of the line is the only "new guy" in the group - and since he's now been with the group longer than Avi originally was, he's not the "new guy" anymore, even though he'll probably always end up with that label.

Pentatonix does not do covers! A cover is a singer trying to sound just like the song was heard on the radio. A cover band is a group that practices in someones basement or garage, and preforms at the local bar on the weekend, singing songs like you heard on the radio. If you think Pentatonix sang this song just like Simon & Garfunkel sang it, you're nuts. Someone put a lot of time into rearranging it to sound like Pentatonix. This was a remake or a rearrangment of the Simon & Garfunkel song.
