PENTATONIX - THE SOUND OF SILENCE (Reaction)

[@tammyree6200]

Christmas is going to be fantastic for you. "Upgrades " of ALL Christmas Carol's, like you've never heard before! 🎄 Keep them coming! 💞

[@lemonsterog]

I have watched almost 1,000 PTX reactions...of those, I'd guess 150, have been to The Sound of Silence. You are the ONLY person I have seen that mentioned Kirsten's background vocals when Scott starts to sing his ending solo. She is absolutely incredible when she's doing that. So pleased to see someone else caught it.

[@evanirvana500]

Mitch is a rare counter tenor which means he can sing up to soprano. They have the widest vocal range I believe and is considered rarest of all vocal types. Add to that mitch already having a unique voice that's so pure and angelic and his love absolute mastery of that voice and knowledge of music and you have a powerhouse. If they all sang at full power at same time rather than at lower levels to allow each members solos i think mitch would blow them all put of the water. Yes, hes my fave.

[@ChibiChula]

They are definitely all breathtakingly amazing in their own ways. So much talent in one group is insane when you really think about it. 😅👍

[@bonnievonbraun6276]

Scott does the bass notes when Matt (or Avi) is singing. Pretty amazing. He can go falsetto, too! And Kevin, the beat-boxer ----have you heard him sing yet? Or play the cello? An amazing group of talent.

[@Gwennedd]

To hear kevin do some cello ( and beatboxing at the same time) check out Radioactive ( feat Lindsey Sterling) or Shallow. There's also Papaoutai ( Strome cover) with Lindsey Sterling and Kevin on his cello Beyonce. Kevin aslo has his own channel (KO) where he plays cello, beatboxes, does keyboard and sings all looped.

[@catherinetodd5163]

Scott does the baritone range

[@Gwennedd]

@@catherinetodd5163, yes Scott is technically a barritone, but he can do bass as well...not as low as Avi or Matt can, but he does take over the bass when either Avi or Matt are singing a verse.

[@kurtfroberg3608]

Once again, such a fun reaction! I just got back from a Carnival cruise, so we had to switch our phones to Airplane mode the whole time. As a result, I couldn’t access my beloved PTX for an entire week. Once we got into port and I switched back, however, yours was the first lovely face on my YT feed! It was such a nice little “Welcome Home” video for me to watch. Thank you! I’d like to suggest another PTX song, if I may. “Coffee In Bed”. Kevin’s work during the chorus section will absolutely make you lose your mind! 🤘🏾That man defies all laws of Physics, I swear. Anyway, thanks so much for brightening our days, Mello. You’re awesome!!

[@toddmoss749]

Do sound of silence by disturbed as well. Ths is amazing though fr

[@RubyGB]

To make your head explode, check out PTX performing their cover of The Prayer. Incredibly beautiful...

[@wadepond5781]

Awesome reactions Mello! Christmas stuff - Carol of the Bells....Other stuff....check out Can't Hold Us or 90s Dance Medley...Daft Punk Medley....and Amazing Grace!

[@dawgeral333]

Mitch is what is called a counter-tenor. This is one of my favorites! Thank you.

[@archcollie5708]

What you said about zeroing in on one person and enjoying their part is true. Being a Pentaholic, I've listened to this and every one of their songs hundreds of times, and I still enjoy filtering out the sound to understand what each exceptional talent is doing. And what they do is unbelievable! Love your work, Mello. Cheers from Downunder.

[@amandahudson431]

Matt has an amazing voice. Perfect choice for the group

[@dazzie6272]

Subbed to her more PTX reactions. Wait until you hear Kevin sing. Scott is smooth as butter with a lot of soul.

[@cindyv1401]

GODs favorite singing group 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❣️

[@Wyndigayle]

A few others have mentioned a bit, but just so you are aware of their ranges: Scott is a baritone that fills in on bass when the bass singer is taking lead, but he can also do high tenor (falsetto); Mitch is a counter-tenor (male equivalent to a female soprano, basically). They say he's a once in a generation talent. His range is RIDICULOUS! Nearly 7 octaves; Kirstie is a soprano who has a 6+ octave range...insane!; Matt is their bass (replacing Avi in 2017), but can reach the tenor range. His tone is so clear! Then, of course, there's Kevin. He's a prodigy. He's the only member who has 'perfect pitch', and he's a tenor. His vocal range isn't as wide as the others, but man when he sings...he also plays the cello in some of their songs, while he beatboxes, and plays the saxophone and many other instruments. You really should check out his cover of Down. It's sick! Really enjoying your reactions and am looking forward to seeing you experience so much more PTX. 😊

[@rebeccachurchbodell9004]

You are so fun to watch!

[@alfredh3071]

I love seeing how you get all excited by greatness. I hesitate to say which artist or performers are best, but I’m pretty comfortable saying that this is the best cover of this song ever. It’s their song now, turn out the lights, party over, time to go go home. Believe it or not Mitch and Scott even do some pretty dope bars. See You Can’t Hold Us

[@mesnger92]

Amazing grace has to be next kevin will blow your mind!

[@davidphillips4476]

5 people 1 wall of sound, it's what they do better than anyone! All I can do is shake my head in wonder and joy most of the time. I want to thank Paul Simon for writing one of the greatest songs ever!! Every version is just stunning. This has so much emotion. I always looked at it as Simon and Garfunkle were the alarm, Pentatonix is the warning and Disturbed is the tolling of the arrival. Just amazing.

[@ms_scribbles]

Mitch is the only guy I've ever seen to look *good* in a mullet. He's just that fantastic.

[@kingcobrahope1441]

I like the fact that I can hear better music thanks to you keep it up you have my full support ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💗 💙

[@jackiesteele5024]

Another great reaction! Thanks sweet girl!

[@2hotcrawford]

Im so glad you did that Clap.. paying honor to Kevin.. he gets missed quite a bit.. look up Kevin Olusola .. he is amazing . also look up the little drummer boy.. hes the star in that one..

[@kto_66]

The song every time I hear it brings a tear to my eye for humanity. Sorry I've been so busy myself just catching up on the vids keep up the great work Mello 🤗

[@detrix42]

You should here Mitch and Matt harmonize in their cover of "Mad World".

[@blackenreed1425]

If you're thinking about reacting to Christmas songs, you should include the Pentatonix covers of "Mary Did You Know" and "O Come All Ye Faithful". I don't know (or care) whether you are religious or not, but we'll hear Christmas songs anyway so we might as well listen to some really good ones. For Kevin playing cello, try "Say Something" (remember tissues), and I'll second the vote for "Can't Hold Us". For one of their grammy awards, try "Daft Punk (Medley)". For more acappela, don't miss Home Free (more country) and/or VoicePlay (more roleplaying). But beware, all three are big (but excellent) rabbit holes to fall down.

[@BlackDogII]

Sound of silence is gonna be played at my funeral.

[@bdbaggett1643]

Great reaction. Suggest you listen to Pentatonix "The Prayer "next. One of the best PTX performances. Then you will be ready for some of their original songs leading to a near endless supply of Christmas songs. Have fun! The Pentaholics will be right there with you.

[@ljjones5204]

i just simply like you !😊

[@MistyMorningMangoes]

Ditto

[@cindyv1401]

I literally have two favorites 👇👇👇 Tom MacDonald & Pentatonix All Day......Every Day 🤗❣️🤗

[@woody9x656]

I will always miss Avi but Matt just kills it on this one. He is really talented and had the extremely unfair task of taking over for one of, if not the most popular members of the group but he really has done an amazing job.

[@Eodsgm369]

Have you done amazing Grace yet? Best cover ever. Kirstin goes off!

[@jenjensage7242]

They are so good it’s just overwhelming. Every song I hear from them just gives me chills. Outstanding. Thanks for this. You should check out Disturbed’s version of this song. It is just as amazing. ✌🏻💕😊

[@mollykeefe2870]

you need to watch "the Prayer" next. It's scrumptious! Keep going down the rabbit hole....... :).

[@vidsorama2]

Nice reaction. Thanks. Pentatonix sounded amazing. As of a few days ago, Matt has been the bass for Pentatonix for 5 years.

[@robladwig4561]

No one does it better than PTX!

[@ATN2USN]

When I listen, I hear Kirsten supporting Mitch up high and vice versa. Also Scott supports those highs with almost Tenor range. Their wonderful arrangements are augmented by their wonderful precision.

[@ChanelStuff]

Okay, so since you did this version you need to do the best cover of this song too Disturbed.... David Draimans voice is phenomenal. It is by far my favorite cover tune of all time. It has some grit and grime to it.

[@CherylKnobloch]

Definitely try "Mary Did You Know?"

[@falarine]

Beautiful - more stunning then Disturbed version imo :)

[@lauriwest435]

This was great!!! When they sing Hallelujah... WOW

[@sandyleewhite]

So excited I found another reactor, just discovering Pentatonix!!! I am looking forward to enjoying this ride with you, it's nothing short of AMAZING!!! Loved your reaction

[@patriciaburton1697]

Scott has amazing range. He has a original "Mars".

[@Gwennedd]

Mars is a must see!! Scott only released it a month ago.

[@elizabethrobbins8580]

Girl, you need to react to "Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone" It will pull you to Jeaus as will "The Prayer".

[@kensmithler5965]

Can't wait to see more Pentatonix reactions. You have such a variety to choose from.

[@catpro70]

You really need to hear Kevin sing now. He has an absolutely beautiful voice! I recommend Imagine or Amazing Grace.

[@whawaii]

YES! Kevin (the beatboxer) will blow your mind in "Amazing Grace".

[@melissacoviello2886]

I love your reactions. I hope you keep reacting to Pentatonix. I agree with everything you said. You should check out The Prayer and their newest song (released about a month ago) called Praywrs for this world. Their tour starts November 17th in Oakland, you should see if they have any dates near you.

[@nicholasjoseph2822]

In all honesty, it's almost impossible to pick a best voice among them...in.my opinion, when they came together, they found a way of doing Acapella unlike any other Acapella group l've ever heard! I mean even when they started on the singoff, the boyz-2-men judge even said he was taking notes! They blew out everyong else on that show by more than a mile! You could even tell all the other groups were visibly helpless coz they ALL new Pentatonix was gonna win! Their arrangements and attention to detail is what sets they completely apart from every other Acaplle group l've ever heard! It's almost like they do Aca-magic & the results are always 100% eargasm!!!

[@donitasteiner8188]

You would absolutely LOVE their version of “The Prayer” by Celine Dion and Andrea Boccelli

[@eunicebardin9629]

Please react to their cover of The Prayer. You will be Mitch slapped from the first note to the last! And then you also have to notice Kevin's amazing work and Matt's bass notes. And Scott throws in an amazing surprise as well. It is by far my favorite song of theirs.

[@hollylewis6631]

If you want to hear Kevin sing, check out their video for Amazing Grace. It will bring tears to your eyes.

[@whawaii]

YES! Kevin (the beatboxer) will blow your mind in "Amazing Grace".

[@joosyjulie]

Not many recommend the hauntingly beautiful original 'Run to you'. No beat boxing, just beautiful harmonies. To get you bouncing in your seat there is always '90's medley' or 'Sing'. Then 'Carol of the bells' to highlight Mitches clear bell tones, 'Say Something' to highlight Kirsten's abilities. 'Mr.Grinch' to show off Matts abilities. Avi is on a pedestal of his own and his solo work, especially 'Change on the rise' is a testament to his talent. Scott features heavily in most of what they do, but doesn't get as much mention as the others, despite his amazing range, because I'd voice seems to be more 'normal', as if.

[@1yankeesrule]

Listen to Scott’s solo song Mars. It’s amazing. It’s about his fiancé.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

Other great a cappella groups to react to, Home Free, Voctave, The Bass Gang, Voiceplay and their amazing bass singer Geoff Castellucci, who has solo performances on his KZbin channel.

[@TanyaQueen182]

new to your page, and have been checking out your videos. I subbed right away but after a few videos, I realize that you and I need to be BFFs lol

[@jimeans2281]

Mello , great review. The backdrop played a bit part in this cover too. PTX is very deft at slipping in side comments, wild wardrobe, an African beat here and there. It adds to the fun of listening to their songs. Here, because this is a dire, drastic future type song, that lone light in the background, to me, is saying “there’s still hope”. Looking forward to your next choice.

[@jcs1025]

Matt isn’t really ‘new’ anymore. He’s been with the band 5 years. 😉

[@josephhelms5806]

Mello you are the BEST REACTOR to Pentatonix. Do Mary, Did You Know!!!!!! PLEASE

[@Faith-dq5rz]

If you like Scotts bass you should check out Voiceplay and Home free. Scott is an amazing singer cause he does have that large singing range. I have noticed the best bass singers have huge ranges and can sing both lead and back up.

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their cover of Shallow.

[@76shazzy]

Check out Aha at Singapore... amazing vocal range. X

[@angiegardner8949]

PLEASE CHECK OUT "LOVE AGAIN" BY THESE GUYS AND AHA LIVE IN SINGAPORE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND

[@maryellenmohundro6614]

If you want to hear a song that shows Kirsten’s range listen to Seasons of Love, it’s a live performance.

[@jarahnom8797]

New Sub bCuz I Like like Love your review/comments. PTX and you are most AweSome 🫶🏼 EtAl are the Goat❣️😉🤙🏼

[@christinemoore4478]

Great reaction . Please react to Pentatonix The Prayer thx

[@stankwasny56]

Nice job !

[@BMFdrew9986]

Please Amazing Grace

[@karenthomas4404]

You must do "The Prayer"!!

[@plantz590]

O.M.G.

[@RubyGB]

To hear Kevin's beautiful tenor check out their versions ofAmazing Grace or Mary Did You Know.

[@DianaJG8]

Still waiting for you to try Home Free! They are great, too!! They have covered Boys 2 Men and some Gospel greats that will give you permanent goosebumps! I particularly like "Man of Constant Sorrows" because of all the "odd instruments"... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5bakJWce9ulpdU

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

❤️🙌🙌

[@whawaii]

You may notice that Kirsten's vibrato is different from her earlier singing. It seems a bit more developed. I believe they did "Sounds of Silence" after they did their "Jolene" colab with Dolly Parton. I think Dolly may have given her some ideas. You can hear how she's taking on a bit of Dolly here kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYqmoKyLrb5lfrs

[@azekel7687]

Eventually when you get into the depths of Music and learn about Vocalizing you learn the different Vocal Types for both Men and Women. Scott is a Bass-Baritone, meaning he's a Baritone that has the Range to sing down to Bass, but his Range is big. Matt and Avi are Bass, meaning they can sing even Lower, but usually Bass Singers have a massive Range, that's usually how it is the Lower a person's Voice is because the Vocal Cords are so thick, it can stretch more. Kevin, the Beatboxer is a Tenor, in my own words I would say that Tenor is one of the most balanced Voices as some Tenors can either sing really High, some can sing a little deeper down into Baritone and some are more smack dab in the middle. Kirstin is a Mezzo-Soprano, Mezzos are similar to Sopranos, but their Voice has more Weight and Darkness to it allowing them to sing deeper compared to a Soprano. Lastly, Mitch is what you would refer to as a Countertenor, or a Male Alto or Male Soprano, most Countertenors are actually Baritones or Tenors at their core, this would be Trained Countertenors, people who Trained in Singing the roles of Women, this is a bit more common in Operatic Music rather than Contemporary Music, Mitch is a Natural Countertenor, his Voice is just Naturally that high. The Countertenor Vocal Type is the Rarest Vocal Type for Men to have.

[@PaulaLPope]

Avi left the group in 2017 due to family health issues, but before he left, he helped the group find a new bassist...Matt Sallee.

[@markwilken2492]

I forgot about Mitch’s mullet stage

[@rhondawhitt8567]

Their song Say Something and also their song Can't Hold Us please react to them.

[@sharonrugh8924]

You want somebody to cut onions watch their cover of Amazing Grace

[@designsofbutterflies]

Please react to Pentatonix can you feel the love tonight and wizard of ahhhs.

[@mtbelley]

If you like this version you should watch this live version by Disturbed on Conan.

[@Ruby-zo8ql]

Please react to their version cover of "Mary Did You Know"

[@barbarafrederick5158]

Scott recently dropped a Single called "Mars". Check it out.

[@marenehanson5526]

Now you should listen to The Sound of Silence sung by Disturbed lead singer on Conan O’Brien live.

[@BrandeeM]

If you haven’t yet, please check out Avi Kaplan’s solo music

[@travisrussell9166]

Avi, the other bass guy,left the group in 2017, so the older videos have AVI, Then they found Kevin

I AM A PENTAHOLIC... but you need to watch Yebba - My Mind!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardpitcher6231]

Try Home Free

[@michaelbradley7529]

Don't go to one of their concerts unless you are capable of standing for the entire concert, even though there are seats provided. Their PR person tells the audience that Pentatonix likes it when the fans stand and engage (whatever the hell that means). I was at one of their concerts in Hollywood years back and I have a problem with standing for long periods of time which causes lower back, knee, and ankle pain. I ended up watching the entire concert thru the cracks between the people standing in front of me while I had to sit (the entire concert). I would not do that again.

[@bradleysuarez4]

You are so cute

[@LUZRINC]

Can you react to Upchurch - Built Like That

[@RedEyesKing_Yorells3]

Scott and Mitch got side music the page is super fruit

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

Matt has been with the group over 5 years, you've been listening to them for under 5 weeks. You calling him the new guy is horrific.

[@michelerobertson8276]

He is new to her… cut her some slack please😊
