There is only one Avi. There is just such a warm tone to his voice. It's like melted butter... just goes straight to the soul. Fangirl away! He deserves it!!

[@dorrit_rosen]

It’s very hard not to fangirl when Avi sings! He opens a gateway to my soul, too.

[@aprildent8456]

Its that slow sexy smile of his

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@aprildent8456 The smile feels like home to me 😌

[@DrBasso-tk8yk]

Avi and myself are both what’s called a Basso Profundo but what sets him apart from every other Profundo is his smoothness and his emotion it really makes you feel something when he sings while when I sing it’s no where near as smooth or emotional Avi is rare and we love him

[@mariawilliams4941]

Hi can you explain what a Basso Profundo actually is please?

[@DrBasso-tk8yk]

@@mariawilliams4941 Absolutely. It’s a bass with an extraordinarily low range able to project a low C and in extreme cases a double low G projected all with a very dark timbre

[@mariawilliams4941]

@@DrBasso-tk8yk thank you

[@mariawilliams4941]

@@DrBasso-tk8yk I read a comment on another reactors page and the guy was saying Avi is a Baritone and not a bass. As I know nothing I googled it and it says Avi is what you said. This guy has the same range as Avi so I don’t quite understand how he thinks he’s a baritone

[@susanbeckmolloy9536]

Fan girl away my man! I do it every time I hear Avi's voice. Great reaction 😎

[@calliec7493]

Avi! Ok next Standing By written by Avi is very emotional.

[@mistymichelle9957]

This arrangement never gets old. Both men are dripping in The Sauce. It's so fun watching you discover all the musical geniuses the world has to offer. 💙 from Texas!

[@chocoholicallemand9096]

Avi's voice is just so rich, warm and smooth, it's just like a sonic hug. We get it, he's different.

[@r.d.stratford106]

Avi is truly something special. Love Peter Hollens too. So talented, both of them, and both some of the genuinely nicest guys out there.

[@grain3871]

It's as simple as possible, sir. Mr. Avi is like a river. Have you seen the river? Always a stream, always water, but sometimes it is a great waterfall, and sometimes it is a calm expanse along the forest.

[@catzkeet4860]

There are great bass singers, and mr Avriel Kaplan is definitely one, his tone, resonance and timbre are second to none. ……but he’s also a great tenor. Now a lot of bass singers can sing tenor, but very very few can match the resonance of their bass register, with an equally powerful and resonant tenor voice. Avi does…..he just has beautiful tone and can also add shade and colour to his singing, no matter which register he’s in, making the audience feel(physically as well as emotionally in some cases lol) as well as hear the music. On top of this, he’s a lovely person, with a gentle and kind heart, and those pretty green eyes that look into your soul!!! An astounding artist.

[@chrissynovful]

It's not just his voice. He doesn't look at the camera, he looks through it!

[@RosheenQuynh]

UGH, YES, FR!!!!! I dunno what it is about Avi, this is so true! I don't even know if he's aware of this phenomenon! It's unreal how he does it!

[@JoanN63]

Two Super singers. In addition to Home Free the 2 singers I told you to respond to. Glad you did that!😄 Avi is my favorite singer with his unique voice that always touch my heart and soul.Every time I hear Avi's voice, a shiver runs through my whole body. A wave of emotions

[@arah7566]

SaucyD, WowOhWow, Yeah🦾 “chicken Skin” (goosebumps). Ho man, Golden…Soothing tones from Avi. Way AweSome AaahVee’s collab with Peter’s genius arrangements and vocal harmonies, both soul grippingly Superb. And SaucyD, your review/comments always brings on joy… smiles❣️🎶🤩

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Phenomenal collaboration. Perfect harmonies.

[@Kmskinner83]

Thank you for reacting to this…and aviously we know that Avi is amazing and his voice is pretty much perfect…and happy to hear/see Peter getting his kudos as well..a lot of people just focus on Avi(understandable), but, Peter is an arrangement genius and his voice is amazing in his own right.

[@lleldridge1]

We all fangirl Avi, and Peter's arrangements/vocals are amazing too. All that layering!! Gawd! If you're not aware, PB does a great breakdown of this one on his channel. BTW, Peter H and Tim do a beautiful cover of Greensleeves. If you want to hear Avi do the entire lead on a PTX song, please check out Light In The Hallway. Scott wrote it for his baby nephew (at that time) and insisted that Avi sing it. There's no video so the copyright gods won't strike you down. ;) It's so beautiful, it brings me to tears. Thanks SD!

[@edithdavis2848]

Have always loved this song. They do it justice.

[@ellengraham4677]

It's so smooth it's angelic so beautiful. There is just not enough words to describe the sounds.

[@SilviF..]

Thank you for responding to this wonderful work. Avi is Avi and indeed there are no words that can adequately describe his entire being. Avi really can sing anything. Have you heard its OVERTONES yet?😅

[@susanbradley5685]

EXCELLENT choice- ❤ some Avi!!! If you haven't yet, find the PTX Light in the Hallway...a live one (ie. the encore at the Raleigh NC 2016 outdoor concert) will show you the power of a cappella in front of 10,000 fans with only 1 mic.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

After much consideration, I have decided that the god of love must be a basso profundo like Avi.

[@kathyfolkerts8639]

So fun to watch you enjoy him as much as I do!

[@stevesouza2683]

Amazing choices again Sir. But I'm still begging you to check out Marc Martel the reincarnation of Freddy Mercury: Bohemian Rhapsody, and Another one Bites the Dust, I think you will be amazed

[@charlottevan_8]

Avi's training in college as an operatic basso profundo gave him the chops to be able to sing those ultra-low notes with strength and warmth, which is a lot easier said than done. (If you weren't aware, Avi had been offered a position with the Los Angeles Opera right before he was recruited into PTX for The Sing Off.) And as someone who's been to 3 of his live shows (2019), I can tell you that those low notes reverberate through your body, especially your chest. As for his range, here's a little treat for you - an original song he hasn't formally recorded as yet. It was the fitting last song he did on tour as the last of 3 encores - "When I Die". I recorded this at his San Francisco show, and I purposefully included his explanation of the song. He talks about how he feels about his music as he gives it to us, and then begins an cappella hymn, with only a bass drum and tambourine punctuating it, and that drum shook the building and the audience, including me. And the harmonies added by all 4 band members... For anyone who wants to bypass his words, the song itself begins at 3:20 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPVeZ-BaMuGrKc

[@annikanestler6468]

YAY @SauceyDad - you won me over already with your expressive reactions, but fangirling over Avi got my first ever subscription to a channel :) keep on with the amazing work! May I suggest reacting to the Live-Version of Silent night from Pentatonix - Avi has a really special part in it, and I think he arranged it together with Kevin. Sorry for my English, not my first language.

[@gailseatonhumbert]

Avi, Kevin and Ben Bram are the ones credited with Silent Night. Choirs use that arrangement alot as well as Run to You

[@adam.4487]

YES YES YES "Silent Night" with Avi's singing part, I almost fell off my chair first time I heard that. Was Amazing.

[@nmv-9526]

I think you might like 'Hey Ya' from Avi and the sequoias.

[@tammybeck906]

I love Peter and Avi both. Together makes for a beautiful song. Peter is a master at arranging and layering. We all fan girl over Avi.

[@jeancaldwell5391]

This is an old, traditional folk song, and this is my favorite version by far. I expect someone has already mentioned this somewhere-Avi was trained as an opera singer. I definitely heard a bit of that training come out in this song, probably when you made one of your ‘I can’t believe this!’ faces.

[@Rosiepooh75]

I completely understand what you mean about Avi's voice. I feel it in my soul, it literally make me emotional...

[@Cath1027]

Avi Kaplan is such a talented man his voice is pure magic. Absolutely love this it’s wow 🤩👏👏👏

[@kristiefreeman5177]

It's completely understandable why you would fangirl over Avi and his incredible voice! His voice grabs your soul! He makes my heart flutter and my head spin! And you are, by far, my favorite reactor! Love watching your reactions!

[@RosheenQuynh]

If yours flutters, mine has surely escaped the ribcage by now!

[@Bine80]

Fangirling there with you. Avi is one of a kind and here is a quote from a recent article about him and his upcoming album "Floating on a dream" and it's so true: At the core though there is that voice. From a haunting falsetto to its deepest bass tones, Kaplan’s instrument is unlike anything else in modern music. Looking forward to more Avi reactions. He has a lot of live stuff on his channel. Maybe check out Full Moon Live from L.A. next or for a happy song a cover of Hey Ya!, originally by Outcast.

[@phoenix9448]

He puts his heart into everything he sings and lets it show to the world. He is someone you just want to go over to and give him the biggest hug and say thank you for being willing to let the world see your beautiful soul. It takes amazing inner strength to do that.

[@ka2816]

Another entertaining Avi reaction! Keep them coming! I can’t wait to see your reaction to Sweet Adeline, one of Avi’s happiest songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2jKaIFobrCIpc0. “Full Moon,” the audio only version from the album, is another beautiful and very different song. “The Summit” will also be fun - yes, “both” of those lead vocalists are Avi, at two different ends of his range! I’d normally suggest the audio only video for “It Knows Me,” but you should react to the animated video - it’s from a highly respected animator, and made at the height of the Pandemic, and there’s no way you’ll be expecting those visuals! You have so much fun in store hearing Avi’s songs for the first time! They’re all fantastic! I smiled when you mentioned “versatility” - not for a reaction, but someday you have to hear the Bladerunner 2049 soundtrack, especially the track “Wallace” - that’s Avi’s “special vocal performance” bass track being blended as one of many instruments in the track! Or the intro on Bad Moon Rising. Or the Star Wars theme or Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (with Pentatonix). Or some of his college choral performances with Mt Sacs. Or the video of the workshop he did with University of Tennessee a Capella singers as a guest instructor. There’s even a video from A Capella Academy (which he co-founded) of him hamming it up as the kidnapped victim of the enemies of music, and the kids have to solve music puzzles to “save Avi.” He’s not just an amazing musician, he’s an amazing human being!

[@gailseatonhumbert]

He is pretty amazing. Don't leave out his other appearances working with high school choirs and his appointment as an ambassador for the Sequoias and King's Canyon National Parks. It confuses people that he is an introvert but not shy at all. He just recharges by being alone and gives back empathetically when he is with others. Redlight Management is a good group for him to be with because they are very concerned about touring burnout and protecting their artists from what happened to Avi with Pentatonix.

[@suzannebastien2918]

Avi's voice is like velvet that engulfs you 🥰

[@RosheenQuynh]

YES, YES, A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

[@amandapatch7496]

Another awesome reaction! And Avi is definitely someone worth "fangirling" over. His talent is amazing, but what sets him apart is his heart. He is humble and genuine and those traits along with the emotion that flows through him as he sings and /or plays. Especially the originals that he has written. They are from such a deeply personal place and you can't help but connect with the emotion he feels as he sings. Anyone who is not touched by his music lacks empathy in my opinion.

[@Mahiahtree]

Noooo! I'm not judging or making fun of your fangirling! I'm fangirling WITH you! 🤣🤣 Because...Avi. 💚💚 Now, excuse me while I pour myself back into my chair after that deliciousness in my ears melted me. This collab with Peter and Avi is one of my favorites. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@anneraasch3016]

Makes me want to color my hair black! 😉

[@justlinsu]

Holy cow I didn't know you were a 'real' Avi fan. I must say I hear only him sometimes lol His bass is so smooth like melted honey. I'll have to spend this afternoon on your channel and watch all your Avi reactions... ps I love your sound and video quality too.

[@joyvanderveer2282]

Avi's voice almost makes me feel like I'm melting into my chair. WOW! Peter always seems to find the songs and the perfect person to join him to set off both of their voices. I never get tired of hearing them both.

[@charissy]

When I first watched this, I think I hit the rewind about 20x just to hear the vocal trill he does on "hope". It's gorgeous. Your auto-eye close when he dropped is all of us! 😂 Really hope you can make it to see him in NY in May.

[@melaninikolova8495]

love an avi supporter!

[@annicajakobsson]

About time to make an Avi-playlist maybe? Please and thank you!

[@debhouckscraftycottage9288]

This song gives me chills, and Avi's lows I can feel deep down within my soul somewhere....every time!

[@gorgarath]

It's quite possible that you have heard this song before, it's quite an old folk song. But this version of it ... damn... I love Avi and Peter in this. I've played this on repeat while waiting in my car before just losing myself in Avi's buttery lows and highs and Peter's magical highs. Such a beautiful arrangement and execution. I love all of Peter's stuff, but this one is always in my top 3 favorite arrangements. I don't think you've reacted to Peter's version of the Ed Sheeran song, I See Fire from the Hobbit, but it's another favorite of mine. While Ed's version is excellent, I still prefer Peter's.

[@Sweeney541]

There's another PTX and Peter Hollens crossover that alot of people tend to forget - you should react to Peter Hollens and Scott Hoying: "Turn Up the Music".

[@debraguadalupe2315]

Should react to avi in ptx's light in the hallway, a song MADE for avi's voice. Actually Scott wrote this song for his nephew after he was born.. But asked AVI to sing it, because he has such an emotional and soothing voice

[@welchbrice8303]

I love this one. Avi reminds me of the villain in one of the old Superman movies from late 70’s or early 80’s! I love some Avi his voice can be so haunting. I so want Avi, Geoff and Tim to do a massive bass cover with video! 💋🥰💋🥰💋

[@dianedahl5337]

Wow. Just wow. That’s beautiful. I’m fangirling with you!

[@pamscarr8696]

Avi. Yeah, so I am fan girling as well. Avi. He is leaving for his European tour in March. Avi.

[@rlhcat7662]

Wonderful reaction to this beautiful song. This is an old English folk tune, and there have been others who have covered it in the past. How can something be so simple and complex at the same time? That is both Avi's and Peter's greatest skill - gently setting us up on a cloud without our even knowing they have done so.

[@babyfry4775]

Spectacular! I love the part near the end where they sing I love the ground on which she stands. Both Avi and Peter harmonizing there was perfect. Avi is wonderful. Peter has such a pretty voice. Loved it. Loved your reaction Saucey.

[@kmwwrench]

Wow, indeed. This is so amazing. I just want to put it on a loop and have them sing me to sleep every night. Watching Avi sing his "solo", not only his voice, but those eyes can mesmerize you.

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Avi has a gift, as does Tim, and Geoff… they all are incredibly gifted, and fortunately for us, (and them) they all sound different, and can affect us in different ways. That’s a good thing. We don’t or want them to sound the same. As it is, there is room for all of them in music, and in our ears!

[@teesiemom]

Their voices blend so beautifully, it's like the purest magic.✌

[@vix387]

Magical.

Thank you SD. Have been listening to this masterpiece for a very long time. The emotions and also calm feelings these gentlemen evoke are incredible. I sometimes play it so I can go to sleep, especially if I'm stressed. That is a true gift, love this song.😍🙏💚💚💚

[@crissmeredith5192]

I'm figuring this comment is going to be passed over, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Would you please consider doing a reaction to The Teskey Brothers song "Rain" ? Thanks

[@Russ_Keith]

So I went and listened to it on the Colors Show and I second this. Someone has been listening to Otis. Do I now believe in reincarnation? Maybe. Great suggestion. Thanks.

[@vmcgriff]

Avi is a musical linguist!! He can accurately perform any style of music and perform it perfectly! 🙌🏻❤️

[@debraguadalupe2315]

Lol, you definitely have a man crush on avi.. But that's OK, ALOT of men and women do. You can still be straight and have one Lol. You're in good company

[@donnagarlitz7916]

I told you Peter is amazing. You won’t totally get it until you have seen a few more of his videos. Depending on who he’s harmonizing with, even when it’s several layers of himself, will you really get the range of his voice. In videos like this one when you see multiple boxes of the singer it’s really so you can see all the different ways multiple harmonies are made. You need to watch the different positions of the mouth. You should also look up subharmonics it will help you understand how they create such a range. Geoff has a video on his channel that explains and shows it really well. It simple to understand.

[@reginaedwards3376]

Love love this reaction. This duet is one of favorites. Avi & Peter are amazing together. More Peter reaction. Please?

[@janette7330]
