Pentatonix Sing-Off Reaction Series | Twelfth Performance “Dog Days Are Over”

[@MyNameIsLusca]

Scott giving it his all at the end gets me every time.

[@mecfstraveler]

My favorite performance! Yes, Mitch can break your heart with his voice. It touches the soul, it's so ethereal.

[@RobReactor]

+Maschelle Mashburn Very well put.

[@madam-mint]

I was welling up when Mitch started the solo, but the instant he sang "RUN!" I literally started sobbing. And I never cry for stuff like this.

[@Angelfish757]

I cried when I first saw this performance and seeing you break into tears made me cry again lol I was reading a few comments and realized that the world would be a better place if everyone treated each other like a Pentaholic treats another Pentaholic.

[@annipsy2185]

awwwwwww💜💜💜💜

[@frankiemansinon1829]

I totally agree

[@frankmansinon8384]

I love this comment because its so true! Pentaholic's are amazing people, so much love and respect.

[@gregsteele806]

"A young group of people that show so much promise and potential to become even that much more great over time" Truer words were never spoken, Sara!

[@RobReactor]

I am still trying to recover from this amazing performance.

[@GatorNick]

nice job!

[@webbec]

+Rob Reactor I know what you mean, the first time I saw this performance I was tearing up and speechless myself

[@RobReactor]

+Nick Pangburn Thanks!

[@RobReactor]

+Big C If Mitch didn't do me in, Avi really got me. Ha.

[@LanceAbellon]

Please react for CAN'T SLEEP LOVE by Pentatonix. You will be amazed. Again!

[@marypugh9362]

2:38 "He could break your heart" and then heal it back together with his voice :)

[@RonHeartsMe]

The performance that won them the competition, hands down. I've had the privilege to see them perform this live twice and both times it was equally as stunning. The whole song is great but Mitch's part is just absolutely beautiful. I love how affected you were by this!

[@iishadowii7477]

Found you again :D

[@RobReactor]

+RonHeartsMe Lucky you! How amazing it would be to have been there that night!

[@RobReactor]

+TheShadowChaser Haha.

[@RonHeartsMe]

***** They also said he had lost his voice earlier in the day so it's pretty amazing!

[@mecfstraveler]

+Anthony Fawcett Yes! Scott, once they sped it up, sang in full beast mode and he was powerful! They played to their strengths here and it was like a peek into what we could expect to see from Pentatonix as they matured as a group. Always know exactly who should be singing what, and they give it maximum effort.

[@kaddieA]

What's amazing is that Scott has a major cold at the time of that performance and he still killed it. I love this entire group!

[@curvytangerine]

I cried the first time I watched this performance and it almost makes me cry every single time, even after two or three years. So much beauty.

[@RobReactor]

+curvytangerine I still get goosebumps when I see this performance.

[@AJpls]

I have listened to this performance SO many times and it still makes me emotional. So powerful. Always brings the tears.

[@RobReactor]

+Andy Plays Ditto.

[@heathers7269]

What a lovely reaction!

[@RobReactor]

+Heather S Aw, thanks.

[@mecfstraveler]

I'm glad you didn't cut out your tears. I was brought to tears too. Like you said.. Pretty powerful.. Nothing else to say.

[@RobReactor]

+Maschelle Mashburn :)

[@MandyMoon12]

Hi Mommmmm! I started watching reaction videos because you kept talking about them. made me giggle to see you in the comments. 😂 Love this reaction btw!💖

[@mecfstraveler]

Mandy Kruse I never knew you said "Hi" when you came here! I love you sweetheart! (plug your ears, Rob. I'm going to be talking about you now.. 😉) I'm so glad you took my advice and checked out Rob's channel! He's one of the very best Pentatonix reactors ever, and we all love him!

[@almac3686]

This is my faaavorite perfomance of pentatonix of Sing Off! It's so beautiful and powerful at the same time!

[@squimped]

Saw this performance for the first time today and being alone at home I couldn't scream "You have to see this!" and watch if they reacted the same as I did. Luckily there's plenty of material on KZbin and I was saved by your react video! I think I've seen most, if not all, of their competition performances now and this is the one that spoke to me the most. How they like a volleyball team beautifully set Mitch up to spike us right in the feels was amazing. Thanks for the video! 👍

[@kymercury5124]

The fact that they went from that to a platinum selling record, two Grammys, a number one billboard selling album, and two world tours is mind blowing

[@RobReactor]

+Grassi Is Great All after being dropped from the recording contract they won on the show. I'm not sure we have even seen the best from them yet.

[@brookeshea8569]

3 Grammys now :)

[@margretrosenberg420]

@@RobReactor I'm sure we haven't. Ben Folds said repeatedly that they managed to come up with a surprise every time, and wondered how long they could keep doing that. Well, I'm writing this in 2022, and right now the answer to his question is "So far, 11 years, with no end in sight."

[@michellerodeghier8071]

Your reaction and emotion at the end was spot on!!! I've watched this video a million times (and listen to PTX "Dog Days" on my iPod almost every time I work out) and Avi ALWAYS kills me at the end. The flood of emotion was palpable from all of them…..Avi was just the one to verbalize it. You'll notice Scott keeps his head down the whole time. Trying to keep the tears at bay I assume. I saw them perform at the end of their last tour here in Texas where the trio grew up. Their parents and family members were in attendance. I got to briefly meet Scott's parents - yes they are as amazing as you would think. Their Choir teacher from high school was also front and center. They pointed her out during the concert and mentioned how nervous they were with her in the audience. I can't even imagine how proud she must be of how far they've come. They are sooooo good live….and fun….and over-the-top entertaining. The attendees ranged in age from toddler to advanced senior. If you have the opportunity - you definitely need to attend a concert. AMAZING!!!

[@RobReactor]

+Michelle Rodeghier What a wonderful experience that must have been!

[@gillianward5905]

You have a wonderfully expressive face... makes it enjoyable to watch your reactions, especially to these talented guys and their amazing performances!

[@RobReactor]

+Gillian Ward Thank you for the sweet words. You've made my day :)))

[@gillianward5905]

Welcome :)

[@katieherger4928]

I have watched six KZbin reaction videos to this performance (my favorite PTX performance ever) and this was by far my favorite. You didn’t say anything- but the look on your face of sheer joy, and surprise and being truly entranced made me smile. That is what this performance does- it surprises and delights and just makes you appreciate the amazing talent of these young people. The fact that you were moved to tears in the end was a testament to how moving their music can be. Thanks for the video!

[@YukiMoonlight]

I realy love your reactions. Unlike a lot of other reactioners you realy watch the video, pay attention to it, and react with your expression instead with words. I often get dissapointed when a reacter talks so much over the video that he/she misses important or good parts of a video. And even though you're silent most of the time you can clearly see what you're thinking and if you like the video and the parts etc. Realy enjoy it.

[@JackieBorelli]

same. I hate when reactors talk too much, and make the video more about them than about the content they're reacting to. Rob & House of Verbs are two of my favorites -- they both really soak in the videos. also, Couple Reacts are fun to watch, and Stephie Soto -- I like reactors who are more invested in what they're watching than in their numbers.

[@theresamarion6211]

Great reaction, I still get goosebumps when I watch this performance.

[@RobReactor]

+Theresa Marion From the slow build at the beginning to the drop out for Mitch's solo and again at the very end for Scott to close it out... just an absolute rollercoaster ride!!

[@Duke00x]

+Rob Reactor As Sean said "Audio Drama"

[@corvus1374]

I was in a Barnes & Noble today and they were blasting "Sing" over their speakers.

[@jimtrantham4532]

Rob, Watching Your reaction to this performance was spot on and Priceless.

[@yuelingui]

I cry every time oh my god, avi really gets me.

[@Jancoulson]

Doesn’t this just make you all soooooo proud of these guys?!?!?!

[@janetranslates]

Perfect. That was just the reaction I was hoping to see from you. The first time I saw this, I didn't want to listen to the judges, I didn't even want to listen to the performance again. I just wanted to sit in silence. Thank you.

[@RobReactor]

+janetranslates It takes a while for it all to sink in, doesn't it?

[@alexandramin22]

Mitch's solo is amazing, I really love him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love him since he sang on Sing-off ❤️❤️❤️

[@legend160slayer9]

Now for the matured Pentatonix im so excited WWOOO

[@martifreedman4067]

Every time I watch the vid of this song, I find that I have stopped breathing when Mitch starts his solo, and have to remember to take a breath. The same thing happens at the end of the song. It ends, I am sitting there trying to catch my breath. What a performance.

[@dvwilbur]

For context... This season of the Sing Off (3rd) they started with 16 groups and they started the season with 8 groups one week and the others the following week until they got it down through eliminations to all the remaining groups performing in the same week. After a few more eliminations, the remaining groups sang two songs each week (as well as an all-combined opening number). This was the second performance of the night for Pentatonix (their mashup being the first) and there were only three remaining groups at this point. Prior to this night, the judges chose the group(s) that were sent home. After this night they opened phone lines for viewer voting. You can imagine why Pentatonix won since this was the final performance before viewer voting! I rarely vote with reality shows but I called a lot that night. The Finale is a bit of a let down because their first number Scott couldn't hear the others at the beginning of their song and you can hear the tentative and somewhat out-of-tune nature of their song, but the votes had already been cast so it didn't really matter at that point. They sang another song with Nick Lachey which is pretty fun and then they sing at the end of the show after they were announced the winners and Kirstie was so emotional that she could hardly sing. They came back on the show for a Christmas special and as a special guest in the following season's finale. Those are both impressive performances for you to check out.

[@RobReactor]

+David Wilbur I agree, the finale was a bit lackluster. However, they had already won the contest by that point, as you said.

[@nellnell6]

This is by far my favorite reaction to this performance! Also, this might be a little random but I just wanted to say that you have a very kind looking face, watching your reactions is very enjoyable :)

[@RobReactor]

+nellnell6 Thank you so much for the lovely comment :)))

[@yaninemontez5331]

I cry with Avi every time I watch this 😭

[@JackieBorelli]

Avi got his wish

[@CLCM28]

your facial expressions are exactly how everyone feels....perfect!

[@RobReactor]

+CLCM28 Thanks!

[@itsthelexpert1611]

watching this again...tears just like 1 year ago. so powerful.

[@margretrosenberg420]

PTX went into this performance convinced that they were going to lose it all. They'd had a disastrous, off-tune dress rehearsal and Scott's voice was fading fast - that vocal fry on his last note was when it gave out entirely. So this was their last chance (they thought) to introduce the world to the wonder that is Mitch Grassi, and they did everything in their power to make it a memorable introduction, at considerable personal cost to Scott. And then they nailed it. Those are tears of joy, and relief, and reaction to the stress that Avi is crying at the end. And they always bring me to tears of grief that he had to leave Pentatonix after wanting to spend the rest of his life with them. Yes, it worked out well for him in the long run - he's successful and seems to be happy. And Matt is wonderful and is well on his way to being spectacular. And I still miss Avi. Fortunately, it's not a competition - it's okay to love both Matt and Avi, and it's okay to be happy for Avi's current success even while missing his presence in Pentatonix. Life is full of mixed emotions, I've found.

[@777wildfire777]

Pentatonix have changed my life rob u are the best

[@RobReactor]

+Jill Crowle That's so sweet, thank you :)

[@juanitawilliams6666]

Awww, bless your heart. I love that your appreciation of great singing is so pure and emotional!.

[@kelliwichita5012]

Thanks again Rob for an excellent reaction. They surprised you alot in this video. Gave me the giggles watching you. Most of the time you're pretty stotic and it takes some doing to choke you up or laugh out loud. I feel I always get true reactions from you. I really liked to see the surprised lo ok ks this time. Thanks again

[@user-pq5fn7ih7w]

I can tell you love them as much as I do....love your reaction...❤great video...thank you..

[@anitamorgan366]

Just had to re-watch this it is one of my favorite of your reactions. The gasp at the end was what I felt the first time I saw this. Great response.

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

Yes, this one and Week 7 are my favorites. And, I also cried and just did again watching this....but at the point when Avi talks at the end and knowing he isn't there anymore. BUT, I think he is finally happy again doing his own music. Thanks for the reaction.

[@shannenleigh1677]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now and just realized I wasn't subscribed LOL but I AM NOW! Thank you for all of your heartfelt reactions!

I actually don't like reaction videos, but your videos are different. I subbed and I give every one of your videos a thumbs up because you are awesome and I love your videos. Keep going 👍👍

[@MaynetteSMore-hf9km]

I heard that Scott lost hid voice during the week and they were prepared to settle for second, not knowing what Scott would be able to perform. The whole troop, starting with Kirstin who also was losing her voice before Born to be Wild. Like the true performers they already were, even when so young and inexperienced the professional attitude they already had made them perform beyond what was expected of them. At the end of this segment Scott’s voice was so rough and gritting because he had very little left to give. They were “professionals “ as early as this. Digging down deep to give the very best they had. Kirsten and Scott showed what true professionals are willing to do to make their performance the best it could be. None of the judges admitted that Kirstins voice had been affected by the strain she, and the others, were under. Then, the week of the final performance their lead vocalist completely lost his voice. Second place was all they were hoping for when they began the song. But Scott came through, as hard and as tough as it was and his voice demonstrated just how hard this last, make or break, performance was on him. And like the others, through the years, he showed what a true professional can do. Mitch had to stop on tour at an emergency clinic for throat problems, but he still performed at their next venue as if nothing was wrong. These were and have been professionals from the very beginning. Image how they must have felt realizing that with Scott’s voice problem, they were going to loose the show. But they went out anyway to perform the very best they could and, as before, Scott reached deep down and found enough to give a stunning performance. I my opinion that demonstrated what a true professional he had already become. Just like Kirsten did. And Mitch too. They may have been only 19 during the Sing Off, but they were all acting as experienced professionals with many years of performing already completed. Sorry this was so long, but a great ‘shoutout’ is due Scott on this one night when his lose of voice earlier in that week convinced them that they wouldn’t win. But they did, in my opinion due to Scott showing what a true professional he was and is. I’m sure each of them have stories about how they were sure they couldn’t perform well, but when the chips were down, they came through. I’m simply floored by the evidence of such high levels of professionalism they showed in those earliest years. They are a phenomenon beyond question. I just hope they continue to perform and amaze us, their audience and fans, well into the future. A 50th anniversary of their Sing Off win would be something to look forward to.

[@pentafruitgrassi4250]

3:34 why was he shocked(?) when the song ended😂😂😂 also he didn't cry until after the entire video ended? these are genuine questions, I haven't been able to function properly because I'm so confused and mildly disturbed

[@pentafruitgrassi4250]

one more thing: WHY IS HE SO PRASIED😂😂😂 like he says nothing and just makes really suttle head jerks, like it looks like he's getting turned on and it's uncomfortable to watch😂 not really hating but I don't understand what so ever, please tell me someone feels the same why😂😂😂

Hey, you may enjoy Home Free, they won the Sing-Off the season after Pentatonix.

+CutleryWonder I haven't watched it yet. I want to check out Meghan Trainor's version first to have a point of reference. I've found I am even MORE impressed with them that way.

[@michellerodeghier8071]

+Rob Reactor Meghan's song is great…….PTX (as usual) improves on the original. Enjoy!!!

[@choilaong1177]

Amazing performance and a great reaction man. please react to 4TH IMPACT (4TH POWER) X FACTOR UK AUDITION. It already has 48M views and these girls who flew all the way from the Philippines just to audition smashed it. Thanks you.

[@dbrandt3585]

Bro you cry so easily. It's not even emotional.
