[@PeterBarber]

Which Pentatonix song do you want me to analyze next?

[@brannon89]

This is one of the first songs they did with Matt and I love how it showed his personality. I remember not being quite as devastated that Avi was gone. I would LOVE your take on 'The Recording of Evergreen' - it's such an interesting look into their process behind the scenes. As always this was a great analysis! You are the best!

[@82gamerprincess31]

I think PTX has been best described as 5 world class talents who are in a group where there is no ego. They get out of each other’s way and elevate the group to something beyond comprehension. It’s so hard to match them because where are you going to find 5 perfect solo artists willing to just be a piece of something bigger.

[@super_siri]

Scott has some of the best riffs in the business.

[@alecsandyr]

Man, your own perc is on point

[@ambergarner8471]

I would agree with another commenter and say you should take a look at the Recording of their Evergreen album. The insight to the Recording process is very enlightening. I would love to get an insiders take on it!

[@ruth2141]

The bass is Timbaland's opening to Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" and Scott is doing Dua Lipa's "New Rules" over it. Then they go from there 😄

[@MelaniePoparad]

This was the first song I saw with Matt and I was hooked. Hitting that iconic beat to start was a huge spotlight for Matt, in my opinion. Cause i loved “are you that somebody” when i was a kid and you feel that beat in your soul. It was a great way to introduce matt to the audience. It’s amazing. Love the analysis.

[@chrisabel1833]

This was filmed while Kirstie was on Broadway in Kinky Boots. You know the 8 show per week grind -- so the rest of the band came to her. I'd love to believe the Broadway show let her live here during her performances ... but i have no idea. Regardless, the apartment vibe and view fit the song.

[@Sweeney541]

This was Matts first album with PTX as a permanent member. (he had recorded Deck the Halls with them previously, but he wasn't fully part of the group at that point).

[@llmllm]

If I didn't know this was a mash up..I would think this is just one great song..PTX so talented..you can't even tell..

[@celiachristman104]

I knew you'd have to do the opening again. Matt is AWESOME! Thank you for your analysis. I really enjoy them and look forward to more of your PTX analyses.

[@corneleggberry4167]

All of the PTX😉

[@ThexImperfectionist]

To your point about memorizing small variations, their version of the 12 Days of Christmas is a great example. Every descending verse is different and Scott often calls out their producer Ben Bram for making it such a beast to perform live particularly for that reason

[@lexymich3647]

This is the perfect one to do bc Matt really shines in this one. It's shocking how well he and Kevin replicate timbalands beats!!

[@MorganeFichter]

This might be my favorite mashup, Matt and Kevin are KILLING it!

[@christinakyleloves]

So excited for this one!! This is one of PTX best Mashups Ever!!

[@danielcarter837]

Just a tight vibe of a song. They are just so tight and clean.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Wonderful seeing you back with a ptx reaction! You're one of the best reactors for them so this was an exciting thing to see pop up! Love how excited you get. Loved your "going from EDM to opera" tidbit. Unexpectedly hilarious. I always love how you appreciate Matt and what he does.

[@marykleeberg7162]

Glad to see you back with PTX. Great reaction.
