REACTION TO Pentatonix - Happy Now | MAKING ME HAPPY!!

[@chyrlwillis9422]

I love the way Mitch just bursts out from under that sheet in all his glory. Fully himself.

[@tersommers]

I couldn't help but giggle when you had your happy smile when Mitch got his turn! It's great watching your reaction to these guys! I'm biased because I love Mitch and want the same thing you want! Great reaction! Thank you!

[@larrygranbois4164]

I chuckled also when you got your wish Salvo.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I feel exactly the same way!

[@ptxlover6878]

Totally, I felt exactly the same way, I smiled with him when Mitch sang his part..

[@danielcarter837]

How did this not get played on every pop radio station I will never understand.

[@bridgethaines7127]

It's a crime this didn't get radio airplay. Its such an earworm and great driving music

[@larryross9492]

I love little touches, like Scott snapping his fingers, "so there!" and the end.

[@tundiel]

We all love it when they sprinkle in some Mitch! He's literally a magical sprinkling of sparkles 😍 Always love Scott too, to be fair. And Kirstie just brightens everything. With Matt's baseline and Kevin's perfect percussion, it all adds up to perfection every single time! I love how you love them ❤

[@perfectkismet]

Seriously, one of the best things I've done recently was ask if you'd try reacting to Pentatonix 😆

[@SalvoG]

You are a legend for this seriously lol. I love them.

[@marykleeberg7162]

Great reaction😃! Couldn't help but giggle when you said that about Mitch. I thought just wait😉. They never disappoint

[@PTXWeeklyNewsPWN]

Well you might as well just go ahead and do the whole album now 😁😁

[@ericag4597]

Bored and Never Gonna Cry Again (lead by Mitch) are both top favorites of mine. The second one was written by Mitch was of his personal experience. Really good.

[@larae2812]

Never going to cry again next. The whole album is great. No bad song on there. Great reaction to this one!

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Agreed, this is probably the first original album by any artist that I've heard that doesn't have a single weak song that makes me want to skip.

[@megjones7860]

Hello Salvo G!! At last!! Isn't this just great? Happy Now!! So glad you did this one......it makes me happy now. The beat, the lyrics the arrangement, the video - are all so good. Scott's power starting this is so good. Kevin beat boxing and with those whooshing sounds. Matt on the bass so deep. Kirstie backing. Mitch with the ear candy and those beautiful sounds and then emerging - in more ways than one - for singing the bridge. Mitchell Grassi is just superb every time!! You got more than a '"sprinkling" of Mitch!! Please do the rest of The Lucky Ones Album and let's celebrate PTXs tenth anniversary (from 2021) with them. On that album listen to Bored for some fun, Never Gonna Cry Again with a box of tissues, Be My Eyes, Love Me When I Don't and The Lucky Ones (title track) to see how they feel about where they are after ten years.

[@trishmartinez-cox4070]

I wanted you to do this song back when you said you wanted a happy song from them. Also last night on Mitch's Patreon stream you got some love from the patrons while we were talking about reactors with Mitch. Keep up the great work.

[@SalvoG]

wow! Thats awesome

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Hahah they know exactly how to place the leads for most impact. Some people complain about scott having many leads, but the genius with that is how it lays the groundwork for a great mitch moment like that. As great as mitch is, having him added as a contrast to scott elevate both of their parts! It's not about equal time, it's about enhancing each other and bringing the best they can out of the music.

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Yes, exactly that. Using the right voice for the right part and then slipping in that lead voice switch up as part of the "bridge. A pallette cleanser, if you will. It's almost like how bands will to place like an instrumental moment or guitar/drum solo for maximum impact, gives the main vocalist a bit of a rest, but also keeps the song fresh & exciting for the listener. ETA: Also, the joy of PTX is everyone has their favourite. Some people prefer Mitch (for obvious reasons), others prefer Kirstie, and then of course plenty of people are Scott fans. The group works because they have a balance going, over the course of a song, but more so on the larger scale of an album they all get their moments to shine.

[@SalvoG]

wonderfully said

[@LisaG64]

Be my Eyes features Kirstin, she is amazing

[@jeangoodwin1856]

Great reaction Salvo.. NEVER CRY AGAIN. You will love it and of course our Mitch. 💕

[@Kash7298]

I'd love to hear you review this whole album! The deluxe version has I think 5 (?) extra tracks, of which Anchor was one, so I'd recommend doing all of those too, because they're all awesome.

[@marymichele340]

Please make sure you listen to the deluxe version of this CD. Love your reactions to PTX! Also the symbolism with Mitch is great!

[@thechomiji]

Mitch is like a butterfly in this, coming out of his cocoon! Of course you can hear his energizing ulululations in the background, from about a minute on. I love the way the color is added back, bit by bit, until they're all brilliant and filled with joy for the finale.

[@j.6133]

Great reaction, as usual!! The second track from the album is 'Love Me When I Don't' (another one catchy and uplifting song), they have a live (but heavily visually edited) performance on their channel. I also dare to recommend checking out their covers of 'New Rules X Are You That Somebody' (Matt's bass and Mitch and Kirstie's bell tones!!), 'Attention' (Scott goes super high in it), 'Problem' (Mitch raps), 'You're a mean one, Mr Grinch' (Matt leads, and Scott does the bass the whole song), 'Rather Be' (Kirstie leads), 'La La Latch' (one of their BEST arrangements in 11 years).

[@ambergarner8471]

Another PTX favorite! So uplifting, positive, and feel good. Can't remember if you've done this one yet but I would recommend Sing next. Another feel good that Scott really shines on!

[@jamiemitchell8281]

I absolutely loved this when it was released. I remember saying it should be their fourth Grammy ! Scott was killing it! Thanks for the great reaction!

[@dwfarr]

For Kirstin lead and co-written songs from the album, there are Love Me When I Don’t, Be My Eyes, It’s Different Now (track), and Exit Signs (track).

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Happy Now was my favourite track, then I heard Coffee in Bed, it became my joint fave, and then Love Me When I Don't... 3 way tie for fave, and then...well, yeah, OK... you get the idea. Their originals are all so damn good. I don't think I've ever heard an album from an artist where there wasn't one "weak" link of a song like this album has been for me (even the deluxe version with the extras). As with a lot of other people I love _Never Gonna Cry Again_ it's a great, catchy song, but also because speaks a lot about Mitch's attitude to remaining true to himself because whatever you do, no matter how you change yourself there will still be critics trying to bring you down. However, I feel like _Side_ , _Bored_ , and _Petals_ don't get enough love imo. If I were 20 years younger I would have loved dancing to a lot of these in a club. Also, Matt's bass on this album...I need to hear more live versions because I feel like he's really starting to come into his own now.

[@_sage_5210]

Saw someone comment this already but you should react to Never Gonna Cry Again! It's severely underrated, written and lead by Mitch with a crazy Matt bass and of course Kevin, Kirstie, and Scott killing it as well

[@melissacoviello2886]

Loved your reaction. I feel the same about Mitch. Definitely want you to listen to all of Lucky Ones!

[@judithL3100]

I’m so glad you’re giving love to their originals. They deserve recognition! Try Never Gonna Cry Again next Have you ever noticed how clear their diction is? Some of their covers, I never understood the lyrics in the original version, but when PTX does the song….voila!

[@tasia2174]

OMG, me too! I have such a horrid time understanding lyrics, but with PTX, I'm always like, is THAT what the song says?! LOL

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

Omg, yes. Especially when they did the Evolution of Ariane, it was a sudden moment of...wait... _that's what she's singing_ !? Lol

[@terriepurkey708]

Totally agree - most songs i have to hum along to because I never get much of the lyrics, even the chorus, but these guys are great - I can ALWAYS understand the words. I think part of that is that their voices aren't drowned out by loud instruments, guitars, etc.

[@judithL3100]

@@terriepurkey708Probably right. At first I thought it was just because I had such a clear view of their mouths when singing, but I’ve also noticed it on songs where there are no videos. Not true for other artist’s videos

[@Karen-Campos]

Fun Fact: This is Matt’s first PTX original! What a stunning visual representation of life headed in one direction, only to discover an unexpected change was lurking around the corner. The veil of confusion & darkness does slowly, eventually slip off and with it the guilt that might try to linger, allowing us to embrace a new direction, a new adventure, a new relationship, to find color in life again.... and be happy! Like a butterfly breaking out of it’s cocoon!

[@risperdude]

As always, EVERYTHING, this album is fire! I often feel like PTX original music gets slept on because they covers are so great. There is really no bad track in all of their catalog of music, I admit, certain songs play better depending on my mood or vibe. Unlike so many artists, they have something for everything, every mood, every vibe, everyday. Discovered PTX almost 10 years a go looking up a video for Radioactive and their video was on top of Imagine Dragons. The almighty algorithm blessed me,, I'm still obsessed and have no regrets!

[@geriatricptxer2362]

The entire album is great. I'm partial to Bored (Mitch), Exit Signs (Kirstie), and Petals (all of them and a really unusual sound for them), but all the songs are great.

[@debbierhodes4479]

I really love their originals! I don't think they get enough attention!

[@robinmcdaniel6821]

This song so leaves you wanting another verse

[@donnaj9769]

Love this song! Sing is another really upbeat song that you can’t help but smile during the whole thing! Lots of famous people cameos in its video also as well as everyday fans like us 😊

[@ptxaholic]

This immediately became one of my go to happy songs, I LOVE it.

[@donnagardner3138]

I Should Tell Ya Momma On You - Scott Hoying (Red Cover)

[@ruth2141]

This video got me through a difficult part of the pandemic.

[@paulamonaghan3280]

This was the best album ever. So good that I use the music at the gym.

[@diannecardenas9866]

I've loved this song since it dropped. Makes you feel good about yourself. Makes you want to move. Have you done the Lucky Ones song from that album. It's a great song. Thanks for your reaction, always good to hear you react to them.

[@Aldebaron-fp3ef]

I love Mitch on Cranberries cover “Dreams”.

[@ritaschara2949]

You MUST do the entire extended album. Thank you very much 😊

[@taniareads8751]

Loved this, especially your reaction to Mitch's 'cameo' - love his smile, his sass and his bounce! Wonderful to see again. Yes, this is Scotts song, and he is awesome, I really enjoy the energy and positive vibes from this.

[@carrieb1781]

The whole album!💖💖💖💖💖

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Loved the reaction. Can't wait to see more. Try be me eyes. Kirstie kills in it.

[@lleldridge1]

As everyone has said, the entire album is great. My favs are Never Gonna Cry Again and Petals, but also love the messaging behind The Lucky Ones and Love Me When I don't; just for just fun, A Little Space feat. Ateez.

[@joanjorgensen9776]

I love Scott, he does a wonderful job on this song. Thank you for recognizing Scott, he gets left out on a lot of reveiws where he deserves more credit. There wouldn't be Pentatonix if not for Scott. I ❤ watching 👀 you!!!

[@michellebarry1555]

I love this one! How can you not just smile through the whole thing ☺️. You might like their original “A Little Space” featuring ATEEZ (K-pop band). Super colorful.

[@becca2383]

So glad you did this one! It is such a feel good one and I love the video. Made me smile waiting to see your face when Mitch got to his part!

[@sharonstrain9831]

I love it that you love these PTX performances.

[@ellenhulslander2897]

I hope when you re-listen to these songs, you notice the nuances to the backgrounds. They don't just sing the notes, they mold them. I love the message of this song, as well.

[@lisaann9061]

Great reaction! " Be my eyes or Home" would be good to react too. Thank you!

[@shelleyo]

Love the Home music.. appreciate the work in early Covid they did for it

[@sandihannig9836]

Best group EVER!!!!

[@r.d.stratford106]

Oh yeah, this song is a bop! Loved it!

[@fredneckteddy]

although many songs are just visualizers which is great for you and us since they probably won't be stricken I do have to say that I KNOW for a fact you're going to love "Bored" and "Never Gonna Cry Again" LOL

[@carrieerickson2139]

Thanks for the reaction to this one, it's definitely one of those songs you can put on and it puts you in a good mood instantly. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the songs on this album. Their originals are always so great!

[@ShinyElfriend]

Such a great reaction! I was like...wait for it...

[@ptxlover6878]

You became one of my fav reactors, this is another great reaction! I love the symbolism with Mitch hiding under the sheet and then appearing in all his beauty, showing his colourful self.. your smile when you saw him was really amazing.. Please do Never gonna cry again and Side.. and the rest of the album as well! 😄

[@kathyboucher5019]

After the party, a little space, & be my eyes

[@packerkats7578]

Such a fun song. When I’m in a crap mood I play this, their original Sing! and Can’t Hold Us.

[@vantreknerd]

Never Gonna Cry Again next, then....all of them. Don't forget the additional tracks released as Deluxe album tracks.

[@edsartistry]

This song has such a great message and at a great time of upheaval in the world we all need this song and to be supported in taking care of ourselves. Fantastic work.

[@donovandale7077]

Hey! Loving all your Pentatonix reactions. Its so fun watching someone who loves them as much as we do. I have no doubt you are going to hit all my favorites. If I can suggest a slight detour, Citizen Queen is a girl group associated with Pentatonix. They only had a dozen or so songs, but they were awesome. From what I understand, Scott and some other members of the PTX production team put them together. Amazing lineup of talent including a girl beatbox and girl bass. Check out Killing Me Softly, No Tears Left To Cry, Whack World Medley, and Evolution of Girl Groups among others....

[@davidphillips4476]

This song actually kinds brought me out of a funk during the covid times so, one of my favorites. I just can't help smiling when I hear it! absolutely "feel good song" for sure. Great call on Matt's bass.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Thanks for a great reaction. This is one of my favs from this album

[@taniareads8751]

And I'll add another vote to the previous comments about Never Gonna Cry Again - just a wonderful song.

[@lexymich22]

What a wonderful thing to wake up to and listen to while my migraine goes away. Mitch just did a Livestream on his Patreon and said "Be My Eyes" was his favorite song on the album. He was very effusive about to the point of saying he would have loved to be in on that KIRSTIE LEAD AND WRITTEN track. That is one of my favorite videos. They did happy now before lockdown but the rest of the tracks on the album, the videos were done either during lockdown or soon after, when you could leave your house but it was extremely risky to be around other people.

[@sandwitch4300]

Makes your 💖 feel full! 😊 plus they all seem content here 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kristipierce4735]

All of it!!

[@annmc3878]

In the last reaction you were wanting some PTX live performances. To see something other than fan videos, you might look for their performance on some of the late night talk shows and other live TV performances. They have been on Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon and James Cordon. Also some morning shows. They also performed at the White House this Christmas and at the Kennedy Center honors for Dick Van Dyke and Tom Hanks. They have done Disney Christmas parade, New Year’s Eve performances and Fourth of July performances. Lots of good stuff.

[@darlenenickerson1713]

I listen to this song a lot!✌❤🇨🇦

[@SissyKool]

You have to watch Be My Eyes. Kirsten kills it in that one and it's a great song overall

[@RonHeartsMe]

Absolutely love this song! Another one with a video to check out from this album is Love Me When I Don’t, which is Kirstin-lead

[@shelleyo]

There’s only a few mv’s for songs from this album, the rest have visualizers, but I hate that the ones with visualizers don’t get the love and attention same as the songs with mv’s. So many great songs on this album and I’m so very happy you’re checking the album out.. thanks! Ready for more!

[@LisaG64]

Hey Salvo, I love this song!

[@stevefitzgerald9526]

You ought to check out a couple of Kevin's solo videos where he cello boxes..."Down" cover of Marion Hill song & "Renegade" you will be shocked how talented he is....please check them both , would love to see your reaction!

[@suzannebastien2918]

One of my favourites!

[@vidsorama2]

Nice reaction. The entire Deluxe The Lucky Ones album is fantastic. I hope that you will react to the entire Deluxe album and especially react to the songs which have videos. Some of the best ones are audio only but very much worth a listen and reaction. Others have already posted excellent suggestions.

[@mystichlo]

you're so me whenever i go too long without hearing a mitchy lead in a song haha! i thought scott's voice suited the song really well though and mitch's suited the bridge so i'm glad they did it this way. i loved the symbolism of mitch being under the sheet kind of like a caterpillar in a cocoon and he just transformed into a beautiful butterfly, kind of showing his transformation in real life to being the person he is today :)

[@lexymich22]

Not sure that you'll see this comment but the guy that did all the superfruit videos did this video too. He did a q&A on Twitter with all of the pentaholics so if you wanted more about the video and what he did and whatever just let me know I don't know how you let me know never mind I'll tell you later as soon as I join patreon next month. LOL

[@vickimoran1349]

Great reaction!!

[@larrygranbois4164]

Great reaction Salvo!!!

[@louellamoyer5578]

Anchor from this same album! And it's all Mitch! Home Free does back ground for Tim Faust in Will You Love Me Tomorrow/Stay, mashup. Worth checking out! Love your reactions! Thanks!

[@carolynl.higgins6206]

Great job Salvo, keeping going on The Lucky Ones Deluxe . . . quite a variety and exquisite talent! Please react to "You're Out." Thanks!

[@cathy8227]

You should definitely react to the whole album!

[@pamelafoster2302]

I love your videos and your reactions to PTX. I am wondering if you have ever watched Kevin's video of Renegade with the cello. It is killer. Don't miss it.

[@maryparker9426]

Be My Eyes is a Kirstin lead, with a video. But I'm a Mitch fan, so I'm going to suggest Never Gonna Cry Again or Side

[@Lupin788]

I think you would really like the entire Superfruit album because even though both guys are singing throughout, the way they're singing an octave apart, Mitch's voice is front and centre most of the time. From The Lucky Ones, other songs I think you'll enjoy a lot include: Bored (Scott & Mitch main leads), Love Me When I Don't (Kirstin & Mitch leads with solos by Matt & Scott), A Little Space (I prefer the album version - no video though - because I think Kevin gets to sing lead a bit more than the collab version (which has a video) with South Korean boyband ATEEZ), Never Gonna Cry Again (Mitch lead), Be My Eyes (Kirstin lead, Mitch featured), It's Different Now (Kirstin lead), Petals (Scott lead, Mitch featured).

[@BelleDede01]

Thought you might like to see another with an incredibly high voice. Lou Christie was a sensation and still performs and still has his high voice range. Watch these videos and go from there as he's got quite a few songs in his possession. The first one is 'Two Faces Have I' kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGendmZ_q7yZqM0 and 'The Gypsy Cried' kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioeXfKSZnNmsfsU ... you'll be amazed. I'm sure of it.

[@nicolerichard47]

Check out Anchor from the lucky ones deluxe album if you like Mitch. It's awesome.

[@lexymich22]

Then I demand (kidding) you so never gonna cry again next. Several reasons why: Mitch wrote and he loves EDM so jump to the obvious conclusion lol but it has a bass guitar part in it where I swear to you MATT sounds exactly like a bass guitar. He and Kevin did a Livestream about the album and he said he has to take three or four passes in order to get it just right. I tweeted him and told him that most people could never get it right with a hundred passes. It's. just. that. good. Your reactions are some of my favorites bc of your calm demeanor which is weird bc I'm an extreme extrovert. Lol Anyway, stay awesome!!

[@danique549]

Since you loved all the songs from this album so far, maybe you can do an album reaction on patreon? and then you can cut the footage up per song to put on youtube! just an idea :)

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to Pentatonix singing “ Be My Eyes” it was written by Kirsty. (Kirsten Maldanado

[@nuimaleko7]

By Superfruit, not PTX. But I second the request. :)

[@karylmonaco8174]

"The Lucky Ones" live on Jimmy Kimmel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joKkgn-heqmCsKs

[@barbarabishop9362]

There isn't a single track on this album I wouldn't highly recommend. Frankly, you might as well just open the album and go track by track - you'll like them all. I'd also love for you to listen to some stuff from their other album full of originals, stuff like "Ref" (which has some astonishing synth-like stuff from Kevin and Avi) or "Sing" (which is one of the most UPBEAT pieces of music I've ever heard) or "Rose Gold" (which is almost, but not quite, out of Scott's vocal range. I love it but it makes me hold my breath). I just checked your playlists and I'm startled to find you have nine from Superfruit, but almost nothing off their wonderful video album "Future Friends" other than "Guy.EXE." I'd love for you to work your way through that one, too, as again, there's NOTHING on that album that isn't seriously excellent. Some of it is hilarious, some of it is painful, some of it is just ... weird, but ALL of it is fabulous!

[@nicholedisaia8525]

Don't know why I am bothering to write..... my opinion clearly doesn't matter. I LOVE Led Zeppelin.... I might not have been born when they were relevant and current, but if anything my opinion should count.... I was born into a world where bands and musicians were all auto tuned and sounded great because of mechines.. I didn't know any better then, but I know the difference now.. I guess that I am just bitter because I haven't had my imput taken seriously.. . Subscribe? Why? Because I wasn't born 10 yrs before I was? I didn't see the live? I did see Robert live.... after LZ and still amazing.... I guess I just feel like my opinion, while positive, isn't what is Liked and obviously viewed by newer fans... ok, I haven't been a fan of Led Zeppelin for 50+ yrs.. I guess I am just saying, appeal to everyone.... ont the people that already LOVE them.... make people that are just starting out realize that the sounds they love came from SOMEWHERE..... give LZ the credit the deserve.....
