#Pentatonix #Hallelujah #Reaction

[@TigStripe]

Pentatonix fans stalk youtube specifically looking for first-time reactions. It's one of the things that give us life.

[@victoriaburch1367]

And there it is - Mitch slapped face. Never gets old.

[@em1321]

They can do it all! PTX classics: The Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody PTX rap: 'Can't Hold Us', 'Problem' PTX evolution series: Evolution of Music, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Evolution of Rihanna, Evolution of Beyonce, Evolution of Ariana Grande PTX Christmas: Carol of the Bells, Sugar Plum Fairy, 12 Days of Christmas, My Favorite Things, Over the River PTX EDM: Daft Punk, Love Again (original), Cologne PTX mashups: 'New Rules/Are you that somebody', 'Butter/Dynamite', 'La La Latch', 'Home' PTX pop: Attention, Gold, 90s Dance Medley, Blinding Lights, etc PTX originals: Water, Coffee In Bed, 'Sing!', 'Bored', 'Never Gonna Cry Again', etc.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Oh my goodness. I’ve heard every one of these songs (100+ times each), and yet…I think I might just go down the list and watch/listen to all of them again.

[@deejay136]

Fantastic selection! 👌

[@JaniceDAgostino]

and country where they won another grammy singing with Dolly Parton and her song "Jolene". edit: oh! And some of my faves come from Mitch and Scott's previous life ass Super Fruit - Broadway! "Defying Gravity" is not to be missed. Oh, and Disney where Super Fruit teamed with Kirstin to do "Frozen". Both awesomely great and funny. And if you go down the sideshoots of PTX, one cannot miss Kevin's channel and "Down" with electric cello and beatbox mixing.

[@victoriaburch1367]

And of course all of their CHRISTMAS creations!!!

[@kathleenfritch8701]

Welcome to the "rabbit hole"!! So glad I found you...love watching people discovering Pentatonix for the first time! These guys are beyond talented, every single one of them. They don't do anything that they can't perform live so what you are hearing is just their voices. Kevin, the beatboxer is multitalented and also sings and plays multiple instruments. If they do use an instrument you will see it!! Enjoy the journey!

[@SalvoG]

Thank you! Im so glad to have you and everyone else here!

[@fauxmedia3182]

Same! Love finding Pentatonix newbies! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 I was once one lonng ago. Pentaholics are a fabulous family and the support you will get is amazing 🥰✌️

[@thomthom6268]

I hate rabbit holes with their squiggly noses and carrots. Stop it!

[@thomthom6268]

Have you ever seen a squiggly carrot? Definitely a sight to see.

[@Dan-B]

FYI: Scott (The blonde) takes over as bass when Avi (now Matt) are lead vocal. His range is insane.

[@SalvoG]

Wow Really? Now that is wild!

[@DougRayPhillips]

@@SalvoG They have a live performance vid of this song on YT where you can see when Scott takes it over. Seamless. You can also see/hear Kevin's body percussion. It's a little muted compared to this studio version, but still there. Then only do minimal engineering, try to keep their studio vids faithful to their live sound.

[@user-ee5qw4ii9l]

Kevin is doing all the beat boxing with his voice and his body. He is a musical genius

[@bridgethaines7127]

The live version of this from their Christmas Special is a lovely display of just HOW talented they are. You can hear different choices in different parts, but they still hit all the notes.

[@SalvoG]

I will be sure to get to this!

[@JaniceDAgostino]

The show of artistry is in how they make different choices. Voice may have a different feel, another tries something nee so you go with it, etc. While anything they video is something they have down to perform live, live should differ from recorded or you may as well just pipe it in. Rather like how a cover is not a copy, nor should it be.

[@lynnebriggs6184]

It usually doesn’t matter to us Pentaholics how you go through the songs as long as you are doing them! I will subscribe since you seem interested and will be doing more !

[@Jskew]

Since you are a beatbox guy you should really check out Kevin's (KO's) "Renegade" & "Down". He invented an artform known as Celloboxing where he beatboxes and plays the cello at the same time. Much love and keep on keepin on. Also, I always recommend you go to the beginning and watch their "Sing Off" performances 1 to 12. The performances are live it introduces you to the members and it's great music. J.

[@joshuawoods7488]

Yes you NEED to listen to down I haven't heard Renegade but if it's anything like down it's gonna be awesome

[@df5199]

They are all very talented. Recommend their original song, Love Again, for a similar Daft Punk feel.

[@Gwennedd]

I concurr. Love Again showcases Mitch and Avi's vocal ranges and Kevin's beatboxing.

[@GLAlex9470]

Gold, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, they are all amazing.

[@tqueen6719]

What you'll find the more you react to them is this is a group with no egos. It's about the music. Singing like this, especially live is extremely difficult because you're singing background vocals then belt then right into background again. Very little time to breathe. No instruments to hide behind and they are masters. When you learn to focus on what's being done in the background as well as lead then you grow to appreciate the amazing otherworldly talent of each of them. At least that's how it worked for me. Enjoying your reactions to PTX and looking forward to many more.

[@JaniceDAgostino]

Don’t even try to pick one voice. Each is unique and necessary for the whole. I love both Avi and Matt. Both bass but both with different qualities and vocal skills that offer a different textural element. Just enjoy. Few can do this and I hope they don’t stop.

[@Tammy-km5uf]

Any of their Evolution videos (Music, Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Rhianna, and Arianna Grande)

[@jenniferyoung8551]

2 things to remember... 1. 'High pitch Mitch' and 'Kirstie like thirstie' change their look A LOT over the years 2. the ONLY member change was Avi to Matt, bassists.... imo, it's always awesome for a new reactor, after having checked out a couple of their vids, to watch their journey on The Sing Off, which they won. mrduckbear has all the vids, including the judges comments, just an idea :)

[@travisrussell9166]

That drum sound was Kevin, he was hitting his chest and stomping his foot. he is a very talented beatboxer

[@cellokimmy]

Drums sounds are usually made by Kevin’s mouth. He has some crazy drum sounds, I’ve always been impressed with how real his toms sound. It’s like he is a drum kit. If you want to hear the new bass singer, Matt, I recommend The Sound of Silence, or 90s Dance Medley. Any of their “evolution of” videos are done in all one take. Their popspring concert has 4 pieces on it, three of which are originals. Bohemian Rhapsody is always a good time.

[@jamesensley3906]

When you are ready to see them as they are today (different bass guy now), I think you would enjoy 90'S DANCE MEDLEY.

[@georgewarfel1080]

sounds of silence by pentatonix

[@erinmcavoy2185]

If you start with the older stuff you can see how they've grown as artists. Their latest album has a behind the scenes which is fascinating how they layer sounds in the studio. My next recommendations are Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Problem, Attention, Aha, Somebody That I Used to Know, and Gold...but honestly you can't go wrong, they each have something special. Thanks for starting your journey; its great fun for all of us!

[@SalvoG]

No, thank you!

[@Spartan_777]

Kevin is somehow running three different beats simultaneously. One with his kick. One with his slaps. One with his mouth. The man is unfairly talented. Each of the members of PTX has solo stuff that is amazing. Kevin does one-man-band music that is next level. Check out his KOver of 'Down' and prepare yourself. You've been warned.

[@alicegibson685]

You have prbly already been told most of this, but just in case...First off they do occasionally use instruments, but you will see them if they are being used! Scott, tall blonde, baritone, but with a huge range, also takes over bass when bass is singing. He also plays piano in a couple songs. Avi (ahh-vee) (in the 2 songs you have watched) was with the group until 2017 (ONLY member change), he left because he wouldn't keep up with the pace and for family medical reasons. Matt replaced him, different kind of bass/sound, but brings something different to the group and just as cohesive. Kevin, beatboxer, also a classically trained on the cello, which you will see in some songs. Was in medical school when approached to join the group in 2011. Kirsten, also goes by Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty), mezzo soprano. Her looks change a lot. Mitch, high tenor, has the voice of our generation. Also changes looks a lot. If you have to ask is that Mitch, it is! Scott, Mitch and Kirstie (also called the trio) met as children (8-10) in Arlington TX, where they grew up and continued to go to school together through high school. Scott and Kirstie graduated in 2010 and went off to college. In 2011 Scott was approached about competing on an a capella show The Sing Off. He immediately contacted the other two to be on it with him. Then they found out they needed at least 5 to compete. Found Avi through a friend of a friend and Scott found Kevin on you tube with a viral video he had of him playing cello and beatboxing at same time (he calls it celloboxing). Mitch skipped his high school graduation to be on the show. They all met together for the FIRST time a day before auditions. (if interested in that journey, there are videos of each performance post by Mr Muckbear) They won the show, $200,000 and a Sony recording contract. They moved to LA and right after was dropped by Sony, saying people would never get their sound. So they decided to do it themselves and took to KZbin. Their videos started going viral and was eventually signed by RCA. They have won 3 grammys, first one being for Daft Punk. They have approximately 300 videos posted on their channel. The majority of their songs will have a live video posted by someone or themselves. They continue to tour and record to this day, Scott just the other day, on Insta that at this time they are busy writing. They just came off their latest Christmas tour(which I went to and was amazing) and will be leaving soon on another tour. LOL and the rest is history. I know, a lot of info at one time.

[@susangille7255]

So happy I found you. Stubbed and looking forward to more PTX. I could probably rattle off a dozen of their songs that I love but then I'd think of another dozen that I also love. Doesn't make much difference what you play, they're all excellent. A few suggestions are Sound of Silence, gold, Havana and their second Grammy masterpiece, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which was written by Tchaikovsky for The Nutcracker ballet, a song with no words sung by a group with no instruments.

[@SalvoG]

I’m so happy too! Thank you so much

[@JaniceDAgostino]

"Dance" was the most wonderful contrast in musical elements! Once again, Mitch does his thing - and do watch it live. Incredible. I've watched "Havana" about 500 times.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Avi Kaplan was with the group from the beginning 2011 to 2017. He left the group to be closer to his family and go solo. Matt Salee took over the base in 2017 to the present day. Watch Beginners Guide to Pentatonix you will learn all about the Group.

[@ankhgirl3]

Now that you have a couple under your belt, you may want to watch one of their “medley” videos so you can hear them live. Maybe the Michael Jackson medley would be a good start.

[@theresarigio5627]

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Bohemian Rhapsody really highlights Kevin’s beat boxing. He sounds like he swallowed a drum kit. For a real high energy original song, Sing is a great choice. For some rapping, Can’t Hold Us or Problem.are great. For over all great talent any of their “Evolution of” songs are wonderful. So many to choose from. 💕💕

[@erinhaney3175]

“Swallowed a drum kit” 😂😂😂 So accurate!!!

[@derrickcox7761]

Kevin uses beat boxing, body percussion, and has an incredible tenor voice. Some of the others may fill in for him if he is singing. They are all multi-talented. you would probably like their cover of Bohemian Rapsody. Love Again is an original of theirs...similar format to the Daft Punk medley. Blinding Lights is another cover. 90s cover is another medley. Go for it!

[@megandelynn6114]

You'll go back & forth on your fav singer but once you've been Mitch-Slapped he's always something special. I'd love to see you react to Over The River or the Prayer(Mitch slays this one) from this past Christmas album, Evergreen! Also, if you want to just watch for yourself I recommend Beginners Guide to Pentatonix & the short documentary that shows how they created their most recent album Evergreen!

[@robear5440]

Keep the PTX videos coming and us Pentaholics will follow. Definitely subbed to see more.

[@victoriaburch1367]

This will blow you away. Pentatonix will make you feel like they have touched your soul.

[@timetocallitaday]

Very well said 💜

[@risacornette7636]

Great reaction. I’m glad to have found you. Pentatonix a.k.a. PTX is only in my humble opinion the greatest a cappella band around. Their diversity not only in them as people, but also the music they perform is beyond measure. I would challenge you to find a PTX song that you don’t like. Most of their “covers“ are better than the originals. Happy listening!

[@suzannescriber6073]

I just love them so so much

[@G-grandma_Army]

It’s a deep rabbit hole! “Come Along” is a fun song.

[@thechomiji]

Kevin can do amazing drum imitations with his voice and throat, In this video he's also using stomp pads (in his shoes) and pickups in the leather coat for slaps. He does this live as well. In their original tune "Sing," he raps "KO on the beat, OK - I'm the human 808." They are indeed in a hot desert, but because this was to be included in a holiday album, they are dressed for winter. Minimal after-processing is done to most of their songs. You can find information on this topic from their engineer Ed Boyer online, including an interview here on YT with Jacob Restituto. Additional songs where they do uptempo: Love Again (an early original by them), Problem (Ariana Grande cover), La La Latch (a mashup of two songs), Evolution of Michael Jackson (use the live version from the Popspring 2016 concert - they are dynamite in concert), Come All Ye Faithful (yes, the Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this), Attention (with bass Matt Sallee, after Avi's departure in 2017), News Rules x Are You That Somebody (mashup, with Matt), Blinding Lights (The Weeknd cover, filmed in their homes during pandemic lockdown, with Matt), and I Saw Three Ships (British Christmas tune, carol from the most recent album, the holiday release Evergreen).

[@MarcyTrivette]

Wow! I've never heard them before. They have beautiful harmony! 🤌🏻

[@richardwilson5560]

"All of them." lol. That is over 200 songs by Pentatonix. Avi, their first bass singer, has his own career now. Kirstan does alot of extra group collabs. Kevin, the beatboxer, is insane talent, and has many songs on his own. Scott and Mitch have Super Fruit, a regular youtube showing. Scott has several other projects. Enjoy your rabbit holing!!! 😁😁😎

[@Jlynn197708]

In case it hasn't been provided yet, here's a link to the live version....it's just as amazing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKpeaWcost7mMU

[@ellenhulslander2897]

There is no wrong way to go about listening to PTX.

[@vickipeterson9633]

Check this one out live. I think you will be even more amazed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKpeaWcost7mMU The gentleman in the beanie and beard is the basso proundo Avi (pronounced Ah-vee) Kaplan. His voice is like chocolate. It's warm and emotional and of course super low. His low notes have blown out many a speaker. Avi left the band in late 2017 and has an amazing solo career now. Matt Sallee is the current bass for the group. The beatboxer Kevin Olusola attended Yale and had completed his pre-med studies when he was found by the group. He was preparing to be a doctor. He plays the cello and the group found him on youtube playing cello and beatboxing at the same time. Kevin coined this as cello boxing. The trio, Scott Hoying (tall baritone), Kirstin Maldonado and Mitch Grassi (counter tenor extraordinaire) grew up together in Texas. Scott and Ben Bram (arranger/producer) wanted the trio to compete in season 3 of a televised singing competition called the Sing Off. However, they needed at least 5 members. Ben decided they needed a bass and beatboxer. Ben knew Avi who had a reputable reputation as a basso profundo. The band has 3 Grammy wins in their earlier career. They are magical and all are super talented.

[@Mahiahtree]

You're going to do all PTX? We're going to be here a while, excellent! I'm here for it, subbed! Wait...does this include their side solo projects? lol Because if it doesn't you are missing out on even more magic you never knew you needed in your life. Thanks for the reaction!💚🎶

[@melissacoviello2886]

Probably best to pick from suggestions. I personally would recommend Can’t hold us, cause it’s such a different vibe than the other two, and then Gold, and then imagine!!!

[@ShinyElfriend]

Gold is sorcery. Floors me every time and they make it look so easy. Since you like Mitch, he does some incredible vocal gymnastics while looking like its all just a laid back little jam with friends. There is so much going on in that arrangement. It's recorded live.

[@j.6133]

Scott (the tall blonde one) - baritone, who sometimes takes over the bass position whenever the bass sings solo Kirstin (the only girl in the band) - alto soprano Mitch (the one with the hat) - countertenor (+ he's a really good rapper) Kevin - (the beatboxer) - tenor (you will be surprised by his beautiful voice in 'Amazing Grace', '12 Days of Christmas', 'A Little Space', 'Evolution of Michael Jackson', etc.) Avi (ex-bass) - went solo in 2017. Matt (has been the band's bass since 2017) - pentaholics call him 'Matt Sallee Drama Free'.

[@charlottevan_8]

"Drama Free"?

[@shirleymoffat3338]

@@charlottevan_8 Yeah - what’s that about?

[@j.6133]

@@charlottevan_8 Yes, 'Drama Free'. Go watch their 'PTXPerience' series.

[@em1321]

@@shirleymoffat3338 It started with Scott's instagram story in 2018 (it's still on youtube in compilation videos somewhere), and then all the fandom started to call Matt 'Drama Free Matt Sallee'. It became his sort of a brand, and people make posters with 'Drama Free Matt Sallee' on them when they come to PTX live concerts. You can even watch that in their PTXPerience series on their channel.

[@karenbartels1232]

My favorite is dog days of summer .... they were young and brilliant !!!.. its all beatbox no instruments !!

[@pacio49]

If you want to be utterly blown away, then I'd recommend Bohemian Rhapsody next. (And note that Brian May from Queen posted the link to that video a couple of times on Twitter and hyped them as the best cover he'd heard.) If you want them to bring you to church, so to speak, their rendition of Amazing Grace is where to go. If you want them to purge your social angst, so to speak, their cover of Sound of Silence is worth listening to. If you want some nostalgia for the recent past (well, it is to me!) then their 90's Dance Medley is superlative. If you want a last whiff of Christmastime, they have many many many holiday albums out, but this last season they simply blew the roof off of everything they had done previously with their arrangement of The Prayer, covering the Celine Dion/Andreas Boccelli version in one of their most amazing arrangements yet. If you're tired of winter and want a more summery cover, Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King is a cover worth listening to. If you think that everything in the news today is just nuts, Mad World cover should be next. If you wish that humankind could just chill out and get along, their cover of John Lennon's Imagine will be for you. So... what are you in the mood for? :)

[@vidsorama2]

Your list is awesome. I love the way you organized it.

[@debbierhodes4479]

Great reaction! Suggestions: Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence and Imagine. They also do amazing originals.

"going to listen to everything" Can't wait!! It will take a while! Great reactions. Thanks.

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

Shortly before he passed Leonard Cohen, the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix cover of his song. He said it was the best cover he had ever heard. If I remember correctly they are in the Mojave desert and it actually summer but they are wearing those outfits to make it Seem like it's done in the winter. Hallelujah Was Put out not as a Christmas song but just a song. Since Pentatonix put this on 1 of their Christmas albums that's when people started to associated with Christmas. There may be other singers Happened to them but Pentatonix. Keep doing the reactions and We Pentaholics Will flock to you. There's a video titled 107 facts You may not know about Pentatonix That may be a little paraphrasing on the last line but it definitely starts with 107 facts about Pentatonix. My personal favorite thusfar is Imagine.

[@Bonofox1]

👋😀ALL of these people are VOCALLY AMAZING! Even the beatboxer Kevin! They NEVER outshine each other They compliment each other!! And you will see this as you react to more PTX. Again in singing order Scott - baritone, bass, falsetto, very soulful King of riffs and runs Avi (Ah-vee) bass/basso profundo, baritone, overtone Kirstie (Kirsten) mezzo soprano, alto Mitch - counter tenor Kevin (beatboxer) tenor, cello ......Matt (replaced Avi in late 2017) bass, baritone

Once you’re caught up on Pentatonix you should definitely check out Avi Kaplan’s (bass) solo songs. He’s amazing here, he’s amazing solo!

[@joshuawoods7488]

Could not get to this video fast enough. I came for the Mitch-slap and was not disappointed

[@megjones7860]

Loved your comment that you couldn't wait to hear "the dude with the high pitch" sing, that means that you could single him out in the background at that point as I did too, the first time I saw this video which was my first ever PTX video. Then loved your reaction "Yeah...oh yeah" that's Mitch Grassi, counter tenor. For more of Mitch's vocals I see that you already did The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody and Gold. You should also react to Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Can't Sleep Love (live at Popspring 2016), Can't Help Falling in Love with You, Anchor, Take On Me, Come Along, Cheerleader. More PTX please. The beatboxer is Kevin and the drum sounds are coming from his mouth and vocals, he will also do clapping, slapping and stomping (with a stomp pad).

[@gingerjohnson1095]

It was filmed in the desert. It was recorded in studio. If you want more of Avi (with the beard and the beanie) check out Standing By (Live). If you want to hear more of Mitch (with the hat and the high pitch) check out The Prayer or Can You Feel The Love Tonight. If you want more of Kirstie... check out Say Something. If you want some of them all singing... check out Run To You or Amazing Grace.

They are such an amazing group. They go above and beyond what you might think an acapella group would be capable of, and each individual is astounding in their own ways. I also just love this song in generl and never get tired of covers of it. Another great cover of this was done by Puddles Pity Party. much more melancholy, but equally powerful. He also did Sound Of Silence among many others and is worth checking out.

Kevin was actually beatboxing, stomping and clapping at the same time. he's so freaking talented, it's not even funny.

[@annmc3878]

Thanks for the reaction. Some of my favorite are Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody and Evolution of Michael Jackson. Also please check out some of their original music “Sing”, “Can’t Sleep Love” and “A Little Space” are some of my favorites. They’ve made a lot of videos in 10 years, so go in whichever order you like. Kevin the beatboxer can make drum sounds with his mouth - Bohemian Rhapsody is a good example of this. Thanks again.

Within about 10 seconds of watching you react to PTX's Daft Punk medley, I just knew you were headed down the rabbit hole. I know this was 2 years ago, but it's the first time I happened to spot your reaction. I am officially subscribed.

[@Blaize24]

Subbed for more Pentatonix reactions. I, too, suggest starting with the early stuff and working up so you can follow their growth. I love almost everything so it's hard to make suggestions about where to go from here, but several folks have given you good ideas.

[@edsartistry]

PTX is an all a cappella group, so any sounds you hear are made with mouth and body. They don't use instruments except now and then Kevin, the beatboxer, does play the cello. If you watch closely you will see Kevin, far left, stomping and chest thumping. The leather jacket he is wearing gives the slapping sound that you hear. They are so EPIC>

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

If you react to it, they will come… Your channel will grow exponentially, if you react to Pentatonix (we’re Pentaholics.) Your channel will grow exponentially, if you react to Home Free (a country a Capella group- we’re Home Fries.) Your channel will grow exponentially, if you react to Voiceplay (a very theatrical a Capella group-we’re Voiceplayers.) No competition between them!!! They even collaborate with each other on arrangements or do cameos in each other’s videos!! Taking on all 3 groups is a wild ride and a continuously growing Rabbit Warren, since each group puts out at least one new video a month, often more!!! Sit back, crank your headphones and enjoy the ride 🤪

[@Notnowdeleteaccount]

I dont have a favorite vocalist. They all do an awesome job❤

[@charlottevan_8]

For a somewhat related rabbit hole to go down, check out Avi Kaplan's (the bearded bass here) solo work. Most reactors start with his most successful original song so far, "Change on the Rise", in which he does all the vocal layers and sounds (aside from some synth organ and tambourine in the bridge). About 90% of the music he does is original. His latest release, "All Is Well", a collaboration with vocalist Joy Williams, is getting rave reviews. He's going on his 2nd European tour next month, and then another US tour in June.

Just discovered you in the last week when I spotted your reaction to a Carpenters song, and now I'm working my way through all of your reactions from the beginning. Love how the music makes you feel.

You should check out “Evolution of Beyoncé” - the official video is live, you’ll love it!

This was filmed in California’s Mojave Desert per another Pentaholic viewer. Temp that evening was 90 degrees

Keep going on the PTX journey! They’re incredible and never record a track that can’t do live. Welcome to the PTX fam! You’ll be a fully fledged Pentaholic very soon! Subscribed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

if you preferred their daft punk medley, you could check out their EDM inspired original song, "Love Again", and there's a good quality live version "Love Again (Live on 24/7)" if you're interested in comparing studio vocals vs live !! (the 24/7 reupload is from 2017 but the video itself is from 2014, to avoid confusion lol)

"man, I like that one" bass singer is Avi Kaplan, who has now gone solo ~~ You won't regret checking out his powerful 'Change on the Rise' !

[@barbarakraft2721]

Yes, try "Love Again", their original, for outstanding beatbox work! Loved your reactions!

[@corelli2]

Find the Hallelujah live performance. They don’t need any acoustic help although they use it. They always say they try never to record anything they can’t do live on tour. If you watch Shallow or Say Something you’ll be introduced to Beyoncé, Kevin’s cello. He is classically trained and also speaks 6 languages including mandarin and was studying premed before taking the leap of faith to join this group 10 years ago for the talent show Sing-Off (where they won season 3). If you watch all of their appearances on that season you’ll get a good idea of how good they were right from he beginning. They do gospel, soul, Broadway, pop, hip hop and rap. You will not be ready.

Follow the rabbit!! It's ok to like all of the voices and have the entirety of PTX as your favorite. Its exciting to see you watch these videos. There is no one way to travel down the PTX hole, you just find that you'll want to watch everything more than once. Amazing Grace was powerful, and so is the Prayer, Mary Did You Know and their solo work. Kevin is a machine, but Scott voice and talent can like wise do all roles from bass to falsetto. Kirstie is angelic and Matt/Aviv are extraordinarily deep voices. Mitch's voice allows you to appreciate non auto tuned things, but auto tune isn't evil: 90's Dance Melody really taught me that.

Hello from Arizona 🏜️ I really enjoy your Pentatonix reaction videos... I'm sure you've been bombarded with information on the group as well as recommendations so I'll try to send a couple of ones that I haven't seen too often. Their mashup videos are unbelievable... Check out: "LaLa Latch" & If you like the beatboxing vibe, a lesser recommend video that's actually one of my favorites is their mash up "New Rules x are you that somebody"... It's another one that you'll scratch your head... thinking "HOW!?!" ... but eventually, watching enough of this AWESOME group, that feeling will transform into just pure respect and enjoyment!! There are a few other mashups that they've done in their early years. ALL of their Holiday songs (my personal favorite is "Mary Did You Know" & the live version of this one, "Hallelujah") and I look forward to watching more PTX reactions from you! Have a great week!!! Jill
