Pentatonix - Royals (Lorde Cover) | Reaction

[@titansfan23]

I love this one, often overlooked because they have so many good ones. Try their originals happy now and coffee in bed

[@vidsorama2]

The ending of the song where they are standing there in their regular clothes singing that they are bigger than they ever dreamed, gets to me every time. That was so long ago and they are even bigger now (sigh). Thanks for the reaction. Glad that you liked it. Pentatonix suggestions: "New Rules x Are You That Somebody?", "Come Along", "Mad World", "Problem" and "Break My Heart"

[@lavendermills8815]

You nailed my list!

[@louellamoyer5578]

All of the above! YES!

[@j.6133]

Great reaction! Check out their 'Rather Be' (Kirstin-led, SO FUN!), 'Love Again' (great original, has the Daft Punk Medley vibe), 'Coffee In Bed' (such a great original, you'll never believe it's a cappella If you don't know for sure!!), 'New Rules/Are You That Somebody' (KO AND MATT do the magic in that one!!), Problem (Mitch raps, and Scott goes super high in that one), 'Cologne' (KO's beatboxing is mind blowing), 'LaLaLatch' (one of their most complex arrangements ever).

[@vantreknerd]

Another oldie but a goodie is Gotye- somebody that I Used to know

[@cherryhsh]

Pentatonix is the best! Telling you... Pentatonix Wizard of ahhhs! You won't regret it 😉

[@renatathompson3530]

You need to also view Avi's music starting with Change on the Rise!!

[@Bobal27]

3:33 To answer your question, here’s another question: How are we supposed to suggest the next PTX track? If we made a tier list of PTX songs throughout the years, F, D, C, and B would be empty. There would be a moderate handful of As, and a tall stack of S-tier bangers. How do we work our way through the list of “all the best stuff?” The short answer is “yes.” Just listen to all of it, pick whatever order you want, it’s all down to personal preference, which doesn’t even matter in the end, because every song is just as dope, or moreso, than the last. Here’s a small subsection of older ones that won’t get suggested as often, “Take On Me,” Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix: “LMFAO Medley,” “Hit the Road, Jack,” and “Little Drummer Boy.” Hopefully that fills out some of the Avi years for you, though there’s like 200 more (like “N’Sync Medley,” or “Somebody That I Used to Know”). All S-Tier or higher.

[@lexymich22]

I've got one you'll love that isn't suggested a lot but is awesome. Please do come along. I promise you won't regret it. No is my favorite and it gets overlooked as well as problem. HOWEVER IF YOU HAVENT DONE NEW RULES X ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY. It's Timbalands beats and matt and Kevin do what he did with machines with their voices!!

[@lauriedaiken4426]

Great suggestions! Come Along is one of my faves.

[@Badger77722]

@@lauriedaiken4426 For a fun, upbeat song, Come Along is definitely near the top of the list!

[@melnjon56]

This is a great one. You should definitely check out Lalalatch and their new rules x are you that somebody mash up

[@packerkats7578]

This was an homage to their journey. If you notice there’s a wardrobe change at the very end as a throwback to where they started. Try their cover of Tears for Fears’ Mad World. I recommend listening to the original first if you’ve never heard it-the contrast is 🤯.

[@larrygranbois4164]

Oh yeah! I second that!

[@Badger77722]

Considering the times we're living in, "Mad World" is almost an anthem these days. And it's different because there's no percussion in it, so Kevin gets to sing throughout the entire song, although he doesn't actually do a solo part.

[@marymichele340]

Mad World-definitely!!!

[@lauriehanley9773]

Listen to their original Run to You. It's one of my all time favorites

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Another great “Mitch Song” is (Na Na Na)

[@tersommers]

I say it a lot, just close your eyes and take a pick of any of their songs and you won't be disappointed! Sometimes reactors don't like the original of this song, so they don't have a want to do it, but as you know, PTX upgrades anything they touch! Really, just take a pick and we'll be happy! Thank you for your awesome reactions!

[@Badger77722]

I've seen a number of reactors who say, "I didn't really care for the original of this song, so I didn't bother to listen to PTX, but it kept coming up in the comments, so I decided to give it a shot", and then decide that they love the PTX upgrade of the song.

[@lisaann9061]

This is a good one!, They have so many good ones. Try to react to some of their original songs, "Sing, Coffee in Bed or Love again" Thank you!

[@milissaleatherwood6837]

Sing! 💯

[@theresarigio5627]

There are soooo many good ones. We Are Young, Telephone, Thrift Shop, Come Along, Superfruit’s Goodbye From Lonely, and Ghost Hunting. All are great. I think you might be ready for Aha, Live at the Star Vista. Mitch has had a couple Red Bulls to combat jet lag and his energy and sass really kick in. I continue to look forward to your reactions.💕💕

[@rlhcat7662]

I think some of their newer fans know their newer music, so some of these older songs get missed. This is one of my all-time favorites, mostly because of Avi's drop at the end of the first verse, and the great ending. A few other older favorites: I Can't Help Falling In Love, Thrift Shop, Love Again, and Radioactive.

[@celiachristman104]

There are 0ver 200 songs in their catalog, and of those I can honestly say I don't care for about 5 of them. The rest I think are awesome! So much amazing to pick from!

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

"I can't believe that we didn't watch this any sooner" You're gonna be saying that a LOT with these guys.

[@connix69]

You have to understand that there is 10 years of material to choose from and literally EVERYTHING they have done is amazing. If you ever see something they did that sounds interesting or you just want to hear it, then react to it. We will be right there with you.

[@rko441]

You need to see Run to you and Say Something

[@barbarabishop9362]

Well, the problem is, ALL of the suggestions would be for something good. While they have one or two that aren't in my top five (see what I did there?) every bloody song on their list is AWESOME - so how do we make suggestions? That said - from their early years: "Say Something," "I Need Your Love," "Radioactive (with Lindsey Sterling)," "Rather Be," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (a Grammy winner), "Problem" (which has a hilarious Mitch rap), and some out of season Xmas stuff like "Carol of the Bells" (also known as "When does Mitch BREATHE?"), or "Little Drummer Boy." With Matt, after Avi left: "Attention," "New Rules x Are You that Somebody" (some INCREDIBLE Matt/Kevin stuff right up front), "Havana," "Come Along," literally ANYTHING at all off "The Lucky Ones" album... I need to stop.

[@Simone_in]

🤭 The list can be extended a lot 😉

[@bonnieflynn4798]

🤣 love it

[@nicklenights]

Smile!🥰🥰🥰😃

[@lindavasquez6637]

LA LA latch is another awesome one,glad you are having fun with them.

[@chyrlwillis9422]

Their voices sound like crystal on this one. LOVE AND the way Mitch just stands there so relaxed singing impossibilities on those Ah-ohs

[@Kk-fj5tn]

I love that this version exists as well as their album's version 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@nuimaleko7]

The end with them lined up like that reminds me of Run to You, which is probably my all time favorite PTX track

[@secolerice]

I loved this as soon as it came out. As an older person, they have introduced me to new artists, so I had not heard the song. I downloaded it and then bought Lordes’ album. This is one where I actually like the original too. Please check out “Radioactive” featuring Lindsey Stirling on violin with Kevin on cello, and their original song “Run To You”.

[@DadInTaiwan]

"Why hasn't this been recommended?" I hear you. Even though I've been listening to PTX for years, I myself never heard this one until watching your reaction! I'm casting another vote for you to check out their original "Love Again" which is amazing.

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

Pentatonix is unreal! I love seeing people's reactions to a group that has made a capella mainstream! I would love to see someone react to some of their more obscure songs, like Rose Gold, Light in the Hallway, New Year's Day. These are all originals, as far as I know.

[@PS4Pat]

The prechorus parts "but everybody's like... (already forgot the words even though I just heard 'em)" are the catchyest imo.

[@cherylwilliams9360]

This is an older one so easy to overlook since they have SO MANY that are so wonderful! Please check out NEW RULES X ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY.. they combined 2 songs.. genius!

[@shawnaseverinski3219]

You really need to see a live version of this. The Mitch attitude live is an absolute MUST see

[@billiemaize6919]

I’ve always thought of this as Avi’s “Master Class” in bass singing, thanks for loving it also!

[@nicklenights]

Probably haven’t suggested it simply because it is an old old OLD song and there’s 10 years of songs to explore!🤗 Not to say it’s not just as good as their other songs. You can see how young they look in the video!🥰😍🤪 During the pandemic, they also continued to produce songs but everyone was in their own homes where they recorded their portions of the song(s) and then they were blended together in a studio so it looked and sounded as if they were together. Each person had their own “cube” they were singing in and the cubes were joined together to produce the video. MAGIC!😲😲😊😍🥰 I think one was called Home, another Blinding Lights (Weeknd) . I’m sorry I’ll have to go thru some of the videos for more songs - though…. I’m sure there will be many Pentaholics that will chime in with the songs I’m thinking about! 😃

[@shilohauraable]

This is one of my all time favorite PTX videos! 💖

[@ProudAmerican1829]

I think this song gets slept on because it's so old and is overshadowed by more recent songs. I sometimes forget about it myself, but then when I hear it again, I'm reminded how incredible this cover is.

[@TonyBrown-lf5nj]

What ever cover they do , they make it theirs . PTX rock .

[@siam5579]

If you wanna check out one of their awesome originals try Love Again. It’s one of their old ones from like 7 years ago but it’s incredible. I think you would really like it. I

[@ShinyElfriend]

That one had really grown on me. I was sorta burnt out on the song since it was played constantly, but this arrangement is incredible.

[@char5533]

One that no one hardly ever suggests is Starship....it is one of my favorite, but l so many favorites.....have a blessed weekend!!!

[@fayecraven597]

Valentine was one if their first videos after the sing off. They are just babies back then 💌

[@SRG4782]

This is one of my favorites, I've listened to it back to back to back. I get so happy when I see a new reaction to it, because it seems to be overlooked.

[@jameslaramie1168]

Check out the five part harmony they create with Run to You, or their original song, Sing. It’s a real bop!

[@maryparker9426]

Another less often mentioned one is Where are U Now. I love that one too

[@acorrado5529]

Thanks for reacting to this one! This is better than the original and I love how they personalize it with the flashback to their early days at the end and Mitch's in love with being queen. Sometimes their very early work is forgotten and not posted as much. I think you would really enjoy their cover of "Somebody That I Use To Know" which was one of their first they posted on their own when the promised recording contract they won on the "Sing Off" dropped them the first week (they were told acapella music was a novelty that nobody would listen to and would not sell!)

[@vickifree944]

I love this song!

[@Anna-xx1lv]

Amazing cover by them! I tell you....M.K.and S. vocals are breathtaking....BUT AVI and KEVIN they ALWAYS bring it all together!! Those two! 🤯

[@LisaG64]

My new Favorite!!!

[@imtherapycat]

I'm so happy to enjoy your reaction to this cover! I absolutely love this one as well.

[@Saturnea]

This was my discovery of PTX. I liked the original and watched that video on YT and then this was suggested so I was "why not"? I was flabbergasted and have been hooked on PTX ever since.

[@julietull2316]

I love this one! Baby PTX! Thank you for reacting to this!

[@lindaosmon5224]

Congratulations to Kirstie from Pentatonix she is having a baby girl.

[@suzannebastien2918]

I like this one and especaily their "Happy Now"

[@juliewade1393]

I loved this one too!

[@martinfamily5208]

Love your reactions! 💕. Check out "Problem" and "Come along" for fun bops. Also "Mad world" and "imagine " for great harmonies!

[@jamieoliver379]

This one was great it was one of the first few videos they put out and there was so many good ones that were newer that most people forget about these covers

[@jewleenelson1002]

This is one of my favorite of the old catalog and not a lot of reactors do this one, so thank you!!!! Loved your reaction!

[@michellebarry1555]

There are soooo many that you haven’t seen yet. So many good ones that you will be saying the same thing after each one. Can I suggest LaLa Latch or Superfruit’s Frozen Medley ☺️

[@jeffreyjordan2249]

Blinding Lights, Perfect and Havana.

[@diannecardenas9866]

So good. It's hard to remember all of their songs.

[@ptxlover6878]

Great reaction as usual! I guess this one istn't recommend as often as a lot of the other songs, but it's a great one and a fav of mine.. please do "Mad World" and "Run to you", a breathtaking original..

[@ptxaholic]

I hadn't seen that one all the way through. What kind of obsessive fan am I. You know what I suggested like 3 times!

[@nolaknowles9888]

There's just many and they are all good!

[@my-thyme2083]

For Matt, Mad World. For Avi, Somebody That I Used to Know.

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their Rather Be, Come Along, and Havana.

[@beefan2528]

Also one of my favorites - I like the balance throughout - no one left behind

[@Kimmerkel-k]

Yep, one of my favorites. Subbed because of how much you loved it!

[@geriatricptxer2362]

So many of their 2013-2014 get overlooked. This is one of them. Their cover of Nikki Minaj's Starships is one the comes to mind. Also their cover of Pharrel's Happy. And both their Macklemore and Ryan Lewis covers: Can't Hold Us and Thrift Shop.

[@tammielongino7485]

That was awesome. I listen to a lot of reactions and never seen this one before. 🎶🎙🎵

[@Quincysof]

I suggested this song a couple of weeks ago. I thought you might enjoy it, I know I did. "ATTENTION" is another good one it is also a cover. You might enjoy their original "Sing" especially as a weekend song. Enjoy your weekend, stay well😄

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

It is so bad that I cannot press the like button more than once. Tx a mill. Greetings from South Africa

[@nuimaleko7]

Once of my favorites since it was released. I always recommend it to those who really love Mitch's voice, as well as Can't Help Falling in Love, Gold, Ride, Valentine and Carol of the Bells, along with Superfriut and his solo stuff, under both his own name and as Messer. He and Scott also did a number of trio and quartet videos with several non-PTX artists.

[@judithboggs2196]

another totally unknown song....love it😊

[@gaylechamberlain3201]

Try their original song like Love again, Be my eyes,Happy now, Coffee in bed just to name a few. Really it doesn't matter which one you pick because they blow you away no matter what they sing. Just enjoy

[@banf7425]

Loved it!

[@megjones7860]

Hello Salvo G, thanks for doing this, one. Loved your reaction and how intense you were and also going back just to re-play sections. Just PTX perfection with the arrangement, the singing and all the vocalizations. If we recommend all the best PTX songs for you to react to, we all would. every time, list all 200 songs!! Here are a few more to try: Come Along, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Can't Help Falling In Love With You, Havana, Blinding Lights, Attention, No (music video for the audio but must do the live performance for 100% entertainment value) and Aha live in Singapore (fan video). Then PTX originals: Never Gonna Cry Again, Anchor, Happy Now, Coffee in Bed, The Lucky Ones.

[@debbiehagel5672]

Would love to join you as you discover Radio Active. Kevin plays the cello and beatboxes at the same time. He calls it cello boxing.

[@whittyone7794]

My personal fav. So happy you did this one!

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Interesting you haven't done any of the 3 they got grammies for yet ? - Daftpunk medley, Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies or Jolene ft Dolly Parton and has anyone explained yet that Kevin and Avi together are the rythmn section and Avi backs Kevin up in beatboxing as well as doing bass? Avi came to Pentatonix having won the award for rythmn section, relabeled to give it to a verbal bass at the ICCAs (International Championship of Collegiate Acapella) specifically for him. It has been awarded only one other time in 2017 to a bass singer instead of a beatboxer.

[@richardwilson5560]

Why not suggested earlier? You are covering the Pentatonix top 200 hits. You're at 22. I guess we did not know how much you like the song!! Wizzard of ahhhs is awesome. I suddenly feel compelled to tell you they did a cover of Lean On, In case you love that song. 🤣😁😀😎

[@hawkeyescoffee6399]

I think you'd enjoy the mashups: New rules x Are You That Somebody Butter x Dynamite La La Latch

[@deniseriley6622]

I have some suggestions. " Shallow " " Can You Feel The Love Tonight " " The Evolution of Rhianna ". Love your reactions.

[@jamieoliver379]

Please react to their original song “love again”. Its pretty amazing.

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Please react to Pentatonix singing Crusin for a brusin Problem Sing Be My Eyes

[@xbubblehead]

Just because nobody recommended it doesn't mean it's not appreciated. It's just that with PTX there is such an overwhelming number of bops that we can't cover them all.

[@derrickcox7761]

Coffee in Bed, Gold, Havana, so many we forget or not sure what to mention. Everything they do is that good. Few hundred to go is all.

[@davidstoneburgh2436]

Please check out To The River. It's audio only but it's quickly become one of my favorites.

[@deservin1]

Have you checked out "Run to You"? It's an original by Avi and Kevin mostly! No tighter harmonies exist!!

[@gregscott2228]

Hallelujah is their Magnum Opus Weird Al did Royals too, Foil - check that out

[@LadyDoe17]

Can’t hold us!. :)

[@buckeyegirl16]

A couple I'm surprised u haven't done yet that are most definitely bops: Blinding Lights Attention Problem No New Rules/Are u that somebody Butter/Dynamite Come Along Sing (original) Love Again (original)

[@scottboyd9383]

I like some of the songs others dont really suggest like Misbehavin....it is an original. Happy Now, Come Along, Butter x Dynamite all their songs are good

[@wharkkyryhniann8023]

Don't they just continue to AMAZE! Almost nothing they can't do, with only 5 members. They outdo some other a cappella groups with 10+ members!! Hope you saw my other comment on you reaction vid to Daft Punk. Go take a look. I explained some things to you. :) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

[@claytonbowman8320]

Love this song... My recommendations... Ah ha, Mary did you know, and of course some of their originals like coffee in bed... Keep up the good work!

[@akinpaws]

But you see, they're _all good._ I'll suggest some even sassier Mitch; No (Meghan Trainor), with the same purple hair he had at Popspring.

[@lisab4109]

Love tagging along for your PTX journey. I don’t remember if you listened to AHA Live Singapore. If not please add to the list (instead of the official Aha video.)

[@marymichele340]

You seems like the rest of us. After each PTX video, you say it was your favorite. Seems the song we all like best is the one we just heard. 😂

[@DRHHUB]

Enjoyed your reaction to this. Another version of Royals that is good is Post Modern Jukebox woth Puddles Pity Party then you can start down the PMJ rabbit hole.

[@creationsbychancecan]

You could check out Gold Butter x dynamite, Sing and Shallow by Pentatonix

[@adam.4487]

Run to You- next!

[@theresadeuschle8500]

Please!!! Scott's LIVE Choir version of Mars, please! 🙏
