Avi Kaplan is the bass singer you will see/hear in any of their songs from when they started until 2017. Avi decided to take a step back from the group, the constant touring was taking it's toll on him. His mother was very ill and Avi and his sister Esther (Pentatonix's tour manager) were flying home to be with her between shows and it was just exhausting physically and mentally. He didn't want to hold the group back so he left on good terms. There's a video when he announces he is leaving. He cries, you cry, all of PTX cries. It's sad. He does his own solo music now, you should check it out, he is absolutely amazing. Change on the Rise is a good place to start. Matt Sallee is now the bass singer for the group and though his sound is much different than Avi's, it is still beautiful. Matt is a bundle of sunshine and is always smiling and having a good time. Other than that there have been no changes to the other members. Mitch and Kirstin change how they look often, so sometimes you won't be sure it's them...but it's always them. 💚 Thanks for the reaction!

Matt is different, but his whole vibe is so positive and he’s so young and new that I can’t wait to see how he grows and how they start using him more! Avi is AMAZING! But given the circumstance, Matt injected PTX with energy just when it seemed they needed it. 😊 Avi’s voice blows me away, but he always seemed to clash a little personality-wise. Matt has the same youthful attitude that the other 4 have. Oh yeah, and he can SAAAANG!!!!

I know Christmas is past, but you MUST react to Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Trust me, it's done in a most compelling way and is the best version of the song ever done. Then you will only have aobut 185 more songs to react to, with not a single loser among them.

Total contrast to Daft Punk! Please keep reacting to Pentatonix, your genuine appreciation of their music will be enjoyed by many. If you want to hear all five sing together again try Mad World. Hallelujah is a must see (either live or the official video) as is Sound of Silence, Imagine and Bohemian Rhapsody. A similar tone to Daft Punk is their original Love Again. Another original you could try is Be My Eyes.

Thank you for choosing this song to react to, it's one of my favorites now. With hopes that you will continue reacting to Pentatonix from time to time, I am going to hit your sub button. You can't go wrong with any Pentatonix song no matter which genre you like!

Thank you for your appreciative reaction. Merry Christmas! I think Lisa filled you in on the member change. I went to their concert a month ago and Matt, the new bass, and Kevin, the beatboxer, singer and cello player, had a great number together. I'll send you the link that someone took with their cell phone.

Matt replaced Avi who left on great terms and helped them find Matt to replace him. Avi missed his family after 6 years on the road. Matt has been with them about 5 years. Song is about those we've lost. Another recent one is their take on an old children's song...Over the River.

Avi did not help find Matt. Matt auditioned (along with 40 or 50 others) and won the job based upon his skill, talent, experience, personalty and work ethic. Avi had nothing to do with it.
