Cologne is on of my faves of their newer releases. Also THANK you for watching Papaoutei it doesn't get enough attention

[@mariaage8568]

Yesss!!! Cologne! Kevin, Matt, INCREDIBLE!!! I knew you would love it!! So much going on! Thanks for reacting! I love Papaoutai too.

[@mjbartholomew5317]

OK, now you're ready for their Perfume Medley in Japanese. It's awesome.

[@12lovetb]

Both songs are amazing. Scott slaying in french, I mean what?! And Cologne is so cool, I also love Matts part when he „goes low“ haha. Great reaction as always :)

[@PtxXtp]

That high ooh part during the cello that you thought was kirstin doing the soprano is actually Kevin singing over his cello playing.

[@thisismisskay]

really??? i didn't know that either, thanks for the info!

[@craptos6938]

Scott and Kirstie and Mitch took special tutoring to get the accent right. I’ll let fluent French speak to that but I know they took this song very seriously and wanted to get it right!!

[@celiachristman104]

Thank you for "fleshing out" Cologne. You know these guys inside and out! I hadn't noticed when Kirstie and Matt sang together and Matt's bass drops before you mentioned them.

[@davidbangtson3109]

I could hardly wait for you to get to the Papaoutai part because I knew you'd just love it. And you didn't disappoint! Fantastic reaction! Love this song. It should be played more often.

[@elainecourteau6231]

There is always so much to listen to with PTX, I’m telling you, they keep my ears and brain alive. 🤗

[@nanaakuapokuaa8155]

Thank you... Was part of the gang who requested for cologne

[@jannorton5108]

I am a serious Pentaholic, but I would also love to see you react to the Disney Plus production of Hamilton. It is long so most people have reacted to it in 2 or 4 sessions. There is an intermission that naturally splits it in half. I think you would be so impressed by the vocals, the choreography, and the costumes.

[@amandasamson4513]

have you heard the Japanese song they did? Perfume Medley. It's amazing how dedicated they are to perfecting the accents when they tackle a foreign song.

[@clairehibbitt3843]

Yay excited as been waiting for your reaction to both songs. Shoutout to #Pentatonix for learning how to individually in their own homes set up lighting, video and record their vocals for each song themselves during the pandemic. Then sending off each parts to become the finished result of the At Home EP. Yes shoutout to Matt’s bass in Cologne. Please could you react to the other songs on the EP, as to me personally they are 🔥 and the rest have amazing video’s too. Well all PTX songs are lol. Scott is great singing in French and cool video for Papaoutai. Hi to the #Qofygang 🤗

[@yoclark2723]

I've heard the song is Where are you papa? A song about fathers being absent even though they are home. Great songs and great reaction! I dig Kevin's facial hair in Papatouai!

[@mazcolyer1972]

I absolutely love cologne and like you I loved Matt's bass and Mitch sounds amazing in this with his low notes like you I can't pronounce the second song haha or spell haha 😂 but even tho I don't understand it I love the video it reminds me of small soldiers the film and toy story haha and love the music to very groovy great reactions to them both thank you 😊

[@mmg8823]

Yes, I like that you loved Matt's bass too.

[@mazcolyer1972]

@@mmg8823 I did Matt has come so far since the lockdown I think with them having to work from home has helped him alot I could be wrong tho 🙂

Omg thank you so much for doing Papaoutai!!!

[@QofyReacts]

It was so fun

[@craptos6938]

Yes it is!!!

[@deejay136]

I love their cover of Papaoutai. You should definitely check out the original singer's version. His name Stromae from Belgium. He's so amazing! He also has a song called Formidable that's really cool too. Also Cologne is my JAM!!!!

[@larrywt656]

I love watching Lindsey Stirling perform. She turns every song into a piece of performance art! They don't call her "The Dancing Violinist" for nothing! The song is pronounced "PA-PA-OOH-TAY"...don't worry, it took me a LONG time to stop saying 'PA-PA-TOO-AYY"...

[@rondileem3111]

20 mins of Qofy dancing to PTX, love it! Both these songs really smash!!!

[@mmg8823]

And the cushion returned!

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

This popped up today so I watched it again. LOVE your reactions.

[@joanneanderson3860]

There's a high school concert where Mitch, Scott, Kirstie perform telephone. Not many people react to it,its amazing to see how far they have come

[@rmac1042]

That high harmony near the end had Kevin in it!

[@marylynne9104]

My first time hearing Cologne, love it, Papatouai has long been a favourite of mine. Love your reactions to both. Thank you. Edit:The words of Papatouai are really sad, which is belied by the upbeat arrangement, but I do love this version.

[@rlhcat7662]

I love how you are going back to react to some great older videos. This was amazing, especially Scott being able to do the lead in French. The original by Stromae, is very interesting and somewhat sad. The title means, Papa where are you, and it's about a boy missing his father. The beginning of this video, where the Dad is too busy to talk to his son relates to that. Another old one I'd love to see your reaction to is Thrift Shop. The harmony by the Trio is perfection. Please check it out.

[@alexandrarosanacuibus2205]

oooo you don't know how long I've been waiting for your reaction to "cologne"! this song gives me an indescribable energy every time🕺 and a lot of good mood😍

[@carrieerickson2139]

Great reaction! Just getting caught up on old reactions.

[@jonathanpenyak700]

Honestly for not understanding the lyrics at all it has such a good rhythm I have to love it

[@QofyReacts]

Right?!

[@mazcolyer1972]

I agree with you Jonathan haha 😂

[@Bonofox1]

@@QofyReacts😃👉 Scott loved this song so much he wanted PTX to cover it. Scott even took a crash course in French learning all the accents and verbal nuances to give it justice. They sang it LIVE in concert in France and the French crowd was TRILLED!! they even covered "Gangnam Style", Scott taking the main lead in Korean. (PLEASE REACT to it PLUS the bloopers) they also sing in Japanese check out "Perfume Medley" (its very fun) also Dear "My Friend" in Japanese.

[@ebiographie]

So, did anyone tell you yet that when Avi was asked what his stripper song would be he said Cologne by Clean Bandit? Haha.

[@Sophiave]

Not me being mad ptx covered it when avi isn't there

[@ebiographie]

Here’s the interview (go to 3:56) kzbin.info/www/bejne/emjPfZd7j9WbrcU And this is just mad fun: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n17VnKyOqpxse6M

[@ebiographie]

I know some people feel that way, which is valid of course. Personally I think Cologne fits Matt’s style and the direction PTX is going, and it can totally still be Avi’s stripper song. Nobody’s gonna take that away from him! 😊

[@Sophiave]

@@ebiographie yes I agree that it suits matt better but still... It's avi's stripper song :D

[@Sophiave]

Although it makes it a little better to know that ptx arranged it like 5 years ago but only recorded in 2020 so avi was there lmao

[@susanbradley5685]

Pa-pa-ooo'-teh

[@mmg8823]

Those aren't cartoons. They is them "thrashing around" according to Scott. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKS6qWqqYrKdgs0 Rumor has it that he memorized the lyrics phonetically. (If you play that video another few minutes, you can watch Kirstin tease Mitch about when they first met as kids. They both remember it clearly. Scott was very amused and Kevin was laughing a lot.

[@xheralt]

Singers memorize lyrics in lanuages they don't know all the time. The church choir I used to be in did occasional lyrics in Latin, German, French, Spanish, and even once in Xhosa!

[@zacharyminton73]

Cologne = masterpiece

[@and_so.i_am]

Since Matt is my secret favorite I looooooove songs like Cologne. Papaoutai is great again.

[@professionalvampire1]

I love Matt's bass in "Cologne" just as I love the Trio in it - but, for me, Kevin is the star of the show in that one! "Papaoutai" is fun, even though I have no idea what they're saying!

[@isabelmarti9486]

Great reaction! Have you reacted to the other songs on the At Home EP yet? They're all amazing

[@vickyyoung8535]

Kevin is the "HUMAN 808"

[@ruthiemavorah956]

Listen to their cover of Take On Me to hear more lows from Mitch! And highs of course...

[@ms.laperry8106]

Cologne is my top three off their at Home EP. They have a video for every song but Cologne. I really want u to react to them on one of ur livestreams. #QofyGang

[@RosheenQuynh]

Still patiently waiting for that Cologne video that apparently needs something special ;n;

[@ms.laperry8106]

@@RosheenQuynh Me too

[@AntiFed1791]

Now do the original Papaoutai by Stromae. Stromae (Maestro with the first and last parts switched so - Stro mae. 😁) one of the most unique musical artists ever.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

The original is so much darker. I think PTX changed it up for the number of kids who are fans and go to their concerts.

[@shirleyujest7786]

You owe it to yourself to see the original Stromae version of Papaoutai. Some really great dancing in that one and it will help you to understand their concept.

[@irisshort202]

Maybe you should add some action figures in your March store! Lol

[@summercombs4678]

You should react to their live version of the second song where mitch takes some of scotts part because he was sick.

[@Mo-bi5jg]

Plz react to Chase Holfelders toy piano covers “alone, titanium, and shallow”

[@vickyyoung8535]

The son is mad at his dad because he is cheating on his mom..son is yelling for him to stay home

[@UserHorologium]

His dad wasn't cheating on his mother--he was often in Rwanda for business, and was killed during the Hutu/Tutsi ethnic cleansing in Rwanda and Burundi. Stromae's mother hid the death of her husband from the children for years, but Stromae felt adandoned and rejected by his father as a result.

[@stacynaus2761]

Stromae is one of my absolute favorites, he is a genius. I love the arrangement and their ability, I listen to it in the car all the time, the video is the only thing I had a issue with. Original video was so powerful it was dark and poppy at the same time, PTX made it into a lighter video with the same dark lyrics and kept the original doll and dance concept, but it lost some of the meaning of the doll. Stromae live is everything!!!!!

[@nicholasw.3488]

Fun fact: Their version of Cologne was arranged in 2015, while Avi was still in the band (Yes, @ebiographie *, I see your comment)

[@nicholasw.3488]

I'm surprised Scotts lowest full voice note ever has slipped past you in Cologne. #Qofygang

[@ebiographie]

Where is that in the song?

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@ebiographie Same

[@nicholasw.3488]

@@ebiographie At the beginning and end of the song, Scott is singing the octave below Mitch "everybody thinks I'm weird but the truth is I'm not" The "not" is the same note at Matt's low notes later in the song, a C#2, which would be Scotts lowest full voice note 😁 Qofy said "ooh the bass" when going back through, but it's not Matt, it's Scott

[@ebiographie]

@@nicholasw.3488 Thanks for pointing it out!

[@jameshunt2905]

It’s PAPA-ooooo-TAY........ as I have heard it pronounced....... then again many cultures will see this and think differently.....

[@shanialover]

I don't know what this is but it is NOT the Papaoutai Video of song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Doinita.]

😍🥰

[@Nunyabizness_]

This isn't Papaoutai lol

[@RosheenQuynh]

I love Cologne, it's definitely up there with Love Lockdown but not quite. Now if Avi was bass instead... That'd be another story. Regardless, Matt KILLED it! Papaoutai is so good, too! Avi's bassline in the middle though... UGH!
