[@kristagerry8505]

This recorfing was very early on in their journey(pretty soon after they won the sing off)and Kevin didn't think he could sing? From what I heard he had some sinus issues and needed surgery? I guess after they got together he sang to the group and they realized his voice was amazing 😊 he lived with Avi and they worked really hard on perfecting his voice and it's amazing! During the sing off competition he never sang only beat boxed neither did Avi he only did the bass line with Kevin! They were dubbed Meat and Potatoes 😂 you should consider watching their journey it really shows them from their very first ever live performance together and it's just amazing to watch all the live performances and see them grow! They were only a true group for a month maximum before that first performance!

[@hoolahoops2112]

God the tutorial video for this is soooo hilarious to me I don't even know why 😂 Scott was NOT having a good day lol

[@JacobRestituto]

LOL

[@erikdarman591]

We did it to a bachlerparty. 😜😀😜

[@samnkacie]

If you like the cup song, you should check out Todrick Hall’s Wizard of Ahhhs, featuring Pentatonix! It’s an absolutely brilliant production!!

[@tH-ym3nw]

Yes. This.

[@chrisphillips6249]

Definitely!

[@ullahoffmann6307]

It is funny, for me as someone singing in a choir, the way they place the singers accustically makes absolutely sense and I feel I am standing with them, when they sing - THX for your reaction and greetings from Germany

[@Miki4428]

Great reaction! To answer your question about how long they had to practice the clapping to get it ready for filming. I don’t know for sure but It probably took them probably a few weeks to a month of constant rehearsals to perfect it. I was in a production of the musical Pippin years ago where we did similar hand clapping in chairs and it took us about that long to get it down.

[@carolelewin2054]

There’s a clapping tutorial for this. Scott obviously has problems! You can see them all concentrating really hard in the music video. I think there must have been a lot of editing!

[@JacobRestituto]

hahah

[@davidbangtson3109]

This is one of my favorites of their Christmas songs. So different and so pleasing in so many ways. The choreography and cinematography are both superb as well.

[@JacobRestituto]

Truth

[@Emilaria]

Your channel is growing so fast! I think you've gotten like 2k more subs in a little over a week.

[@martycullison4095]

At the end of the video there is a link to the 'choreography' video on how do do it, Not sure if you saw it, but is interesting to watch!

[@erikdarman591]

It was very funny to a polterabend. 😜😀😜

[@tanyanguyen3704]

Re : sound effects live. Kevin has a stomp pad he cause use live, and a rig under his coat that is designed to pick up his chest taps. The place you can see it (well, hear it) most clearly is in the live epveraion of hallelujah.

[@pjschmid2251]

I have been enjoying your reactions. One thing that would be nice is if you would finish your thoughts during your pauses rather than saying part of what you are thinking, starting the video again for 1-2 seconds and stopping again to finish your thought.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Nobody is looking at the camera not even Avi who always involves the audience through the camera with his eyes.

[@louellamoyer5578]

They have a behind the scenes video on this song. They had fun trying to get the claps routine down. But in the end they nailed it! A total concentration to sing with it too! lol. Thanks. Happy Holidays!

[@darsynia]

Just wanted to mention, they just recently performed this on stage for their most recent concert! If you search you'll find the video of it, the camera doesn't cut and they seem to not screw up (With Matt instead of Avi tho)! IIRC they're smiling cause of how often they flubbed for the video, hehe.

[@JacobRestituto]

Amazing

[@2freezefam]

She said in an interview once that it is......"Kirsty, like Thirsty with a K"

[@JacobRestituto]

oh cool

[@im2yz4u17]

The live version is the same. What I like about this is that first it is a not a new concept to do this type of thing and second that it has been emulated by many others since they did it. Another example is a song about Coke. Pass It On - COKE BOTTLE SONG!! Watch that even if you do not react to it.

[@bestieboo2318]

I’m singing this for my school choral concert and I’m one of the clappers. So basically what you do it sing everything normally and do the clapping at the same time. That’s literally all

[@michellepotter9541]

They performed that live on GMA

[@jennyfield266]

I doubt you'll have time to do many more reactions, but you should check out PTX Angels We Have Heard On High, even if only off camera. It's an amazing arrangement and you also get to hear Avi doing his overtone singing in the beginning when Mitch starts the vocal. Happy Holidays!

[@JacobRestituto]

cool thank you!!

[@femmy-syahrani]

I've never seen a live performance of this song, except for one impromptu, short version.

[@JacobRestituto]

interesting!

[@philippapay4352]

You may be one of a mere few who have trouble with how the camera pans from one to the other in the beginning. Further, the hands clapping against the body, in addition to being similar to some beat-boxing moves, are from a childhood game that we all played when small with rhythmic clapping against our own bodies and our playmates hands, etc. It reinforces the innocence theme in the song. Scott is among the fairly few male singers, particularly noticeable as a lead singer, who uses his hands quite emotionally as part of his expression. Steve Perry does this along with Pearl Bailey, Judy Garland, Edith Piaf. I would guess this characteristic of his interpretive artistry may have made him have the most trouble with the confines of the clapping choreography. This was early in their career.

[@dishmurphy6539]

Mitch apparently doesn’t have to breathe

[@JacobRestituto]

HAH

[@nannyzee]

He doesn’t. He’s not human.

[@amandamartin1062]

Is no one going to mention the lyrics? “ ties around their throat to keep their heads from falling in the snow”…”staining the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime”

[@JacobRestituto]

Uhhhh. Snap 😳

[@chrisphillips6249]

Hey there, Since you always mention the panning thing with PTX, I took a look at my earbuds. I know they are supposed to be looped up and around the ear (which I don't do) but because mine are shaped to fit into the ear canal I have been wearing them in the opposite ears. Problem solved! The panning works for me. :-)

[@lindlylu72]

I wonder if the intention of the panning is to have an immersive sensation. If you were sitting with them the panning would track correctly.

[@JacobRestituto]

Oh that’s cool

[@denisehart7104]

This is a song about the French Revolution, I read about it, and the blood from the bodies turning the snow red, red as strawberries in the summer. It's such beautiful vocals, and natural setting. Simply lovely.

[@Kai_Squared]

Nah Fleet foxes themselves said its gibberish lyrics

[@xxprettylittlethings]

Check out the Irish Gaelic version of the cup song. Some school did it and it’s amazing

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@xxprettylittlethings]

@@JacobRestituto Okay now you got me curious. If you watched it… thoughts?

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Thanks Jacob, I love this, but wouldn't have related it to the 'cup song' Anna Kendrick did. It's reactions like this that I really like, getting another take on a song I've been listening to for years. :)

[@JacobRestituto]

😃😃

[@lynnekimura2623]

I think maybe the panning issue is likely that the song was recorded and edited before they shot the video, and they didn't take the panning that already existed into account when placing the singers . . .

[@loricataldi2016]

Performed live in their 2022 Christmas concert!

[@JacobRestituto]

🙏🏼

[@LottieOfWales]

They sit in chairs live and perform the same way

[@familyupgrade]

Actually, the cup thing is a swedish group. Doing Robyn.

[@TheSuperEmail]

For arrangements - they have some videos to explain how they do it, and some from vlog where they are filmed trying a new arrangement - e.g. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enmkdGxrl7yhn8k , from 3:22

[@badisgood3234]

Plz made a video on cardigan x falling of taylor and harey by Cosmic mashup.

[@cb3806]

They do have a behind the scenes video of them learning this song.

[@JacobRestituto]

Nice!

[@mariethemagnificent2000]

It is stage right and stage left - they are opposite of our right and left.

[@joannesmith3029]

Switch your earphones...around..I think you have your left and right backwards as the audio is fine for me with the way they are sitting on every song on mine

[@JacobRestituto]

maybe!

[@diontyler00]

Im sure you've probably already heard it, but you should react to Afterglow by Ed Sheeran..

[@JacobRestituto]

coming soon

[@michaelbiggs4313]

It is likely that the only way you will see a video of this live is if a very sick, very cute child asks very nicely. They will do almost anything for Make-A-Wish. There is a video that was filmed after this and the choreography video and to put it mildly Scott would need a HUGE amount of practice to get this down.

[@JacobRestituto]

Wow cool!!!

[@ALL_TRENDZ_TOWN]

Loved Your Reaction/Reactions (Especially WDW)......Can You Do Reaction To “Lauv”’s Songs ❤️

[@JacobRestituto]

thanks! and ive done a few of lauv - he was actually my wedding song - ill try and do more

[@ALL_TRENDZ_TOWN]

@@JacobRestituto Woah So Happy For You.....Congrats🎉.....And Ed Sheeran (My All Time Fav) Songs As well.......❤️

[@lauriemccomas1578]

There is a live recording.

[@JacobRestituto]

nice

[@Nunyabizness_]

I believe they have a tutorial

[@JacobRestituto]

cool!

[@beverlylawrence131]

Originally by Fleet Foxes

[@danellwein8679]

it was 7 and 1/2 takes .... smile ..

[@JacobRestituto]

Snap.

[@pattyfree2970]

React to the original version by the people who wrote the song. Covers are always nice, and they do a brilliant cover, but the original sounds so much better.

[@ivanmarinic3748]

maybe if you turned around your headphones the pan would sound correct

[@JacobRestituto]

lol

[@nannyzee]

Get over the panning thing. Just enjoy.

[@JacobRestituto]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Nunyabizness_]

Honestly, it doesnt bother me at all with the panning and where there sitting. Why should it matter?

[@amandarichard4739]

'the cups song' The song is cups lol.. thats the name of the song

[@JacobRestituto]

HAHA

[@gretchenoliver3388]

I mostly like your takes on things, but sometimes, since you are a musician, why the camera stuff is often what you comment on.

[@davidcampbell1753]

Tooooo many interruptions. Let the song play through, then go back and analyze and critique.

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks for the feedback. But id likely forget anything of substance

[@anonymouse9360]

Wrong positions? Buddy....howz about you listen more and watch less.

[@JacobRestituto]

Thanks for the feedback

[@pjschmid2251]

I have been enjoying your reactions. One thing that would be nice is if you would finish your thoughts during your pauses rather than saying part of what you are thinking, starting the video again for 1-2 seconds and stopping again to finish your thought.

lol my bad - I can work on that
