Saucey Reacts | Pentatonix - Evolution Of Rihanna | They Are NOT Human Beings!

[@heidifruchtl354]

Rhianna approached Mitch and Scott at an award ceremony and told Mitch that he had a great voice. He nearly fainted. He introduced this evolution on Matt's first tour and the arena went crazy. My hubby leaned towards me during it and said that he didn't recognize what song they were covering. I just laughed. The video hadn't been released yet.

[@lexymich22]

Beyonce posted superfruits and said "Mitch and Scott are FLAWLESS!!"

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Scott,was so,excited he got a shirt that said flawless and wore it around

[@bridgethaines7127]

One thing I can definitively say about Pentatonix is that they have the strongest work ethic of any humans I've ever seen. They put SO MUCH into every arrangement, constant practice to get it right, recordings, videos, and touring (Pre-Pandemic at least) almost non-stop, on top of awards shows, public appearances, and their individual solo projects.

[@alicegibson685]

Ariana said she cried toward the end when she watched hers, Beyonce called them Flawless on the Superfruit one, Rhianna told Mitch he had a sick voice at an awards show.

[@rugr82day]

I think Lady Gaga posted hers on her social media.

About Scott being over the top, he said during lockdown that he was enjoying working from home with no producer to tell him to tone down the riffs, lol

[@lorismith5195]

I agree about Scott and his riffs. It really never feels over the top to me. Unlike…and don’t anybody hate me…Mariah Carey. I have many “just sing it” moments.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Hahah this makes me wonder how many riffs Mark would hear on any given day! 😂

[@debbierhodes4479]

I agree Kevin is the glue of Pentatonix. His drum sounds are awesome but he is so much more than just drums. He always adds spice to the songs. Matt is great too.

[@bettyf584]

You most definitely need to react to their “Making of Evergreen” album. I know you will absolutely love and appreciate it.

[@tessslastanova7314]

Yessss please

[@aprilanderson6432]

I know you'll love NO ( Meghan Trainor cover). It's also in this format. As is THRIFT SHOP (Macklemore & Lewis cover)

[@kimschiller1364]

Evolution of Ariana Grande is Matt too. Avi was in Music, MJ, and Beyonce. And for more Matt/Kevin bonding, New rules x Are You That Somebody 😀

[@Kash7298]

Seconding New Rules x Are You That Somebody! One of my faves!

[@ruth2141]

About Scott's riffs -- I think you've heard one of the SingOff judges complimenting Scott on his restraint and I think this is what she meant. He doesn't do a riff on every possible note (although if you have heard him fooling around in some of the SuperFruit videos you know he could). He has an instinct to know where it will complement the music.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I saw a twitter thread where someone (was it Ben or rob or some impressive acapella collaborator maybe?) and one of the members of home free were talking about how scott has some of the best musical instincts in the buissness! I think people underestimate how much of an impact scott has on the arrangements.

[@carebow]

If you say KIIRSSTIEE seeing this video, you MUSTTTTT check out Kirstie slaying every demon in the SEASONS OF LOVE video. It's a live performance. Craaazy what the girl can do

[@michellebarry1555]

I think Kevin and Matt were equally in sync in New Rules / Are You That Somebody…they have great chemistry!

[@rugr82day]

My thoughts too.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

It’s so brilliant

[@megandelynn6114]

🤣I really thought they broke you for a few seconds during "Stay"! I literally laughed out loud & scared my dog! Also, Sir Riffs A-lot is a perfect nickname for Scott! As to your question about how much they practice, because they are heavily involved in the arrangements of their songs, they don't rehearse a ton because by the time they get finished arranging they've gone thru it so many times they basically have the whole song down! Essentially they're ridiculously talented Alienacorns with great work ethics!

[@gwencarmack2988]

Love this. I think you would really enjoy Making of Evergreen Album (longer video but so good). It's like being a fly on the wall watching them work on arrangements and how they work like a family in the studio.

[@honeybun4817]

About Scott’s riffs, I have to remind myself often that there is no instrumental filler in the background. To create the fullness of sound we appreciate from PTX, they must provide a crazy amount of movement in each of their individual vocals. I agree it is INSANE lol. Love your reactions.

[@erynn013]

Scott's riffs are so very good because of how he does them and where he places them. He seems to approach the riff opportunities from the perspective of where and how they will best compliment the song. Most singers approach them from the perspective of how can I best showcase my voice in the time I have. One of the key components to the amazingness of Pentatonix has always been their lack of ego when approaching the music. It always seems like they're trying to do the best they can for the song rather than themselves.

[@Tark-qs4mu]

This was one of their best evolution of... videos, IMO. You're right that this is one of the first times we get to see Matt and Kevin this in sync with one another. They'd been working together for long enough, and working close enough, that they we able to pull off performances like this, and they still do now. Avi and Kevin had a very special relationship from the start, both of them were brought in because PTX HAD to have 5 members to compete in the Sing Off. They had something to prove to the Trio, right from the start. Then, not only did they work together in PTX but they also lived together for quite some time. They roomed together when they went on tour. So, yeah, they got to know one another. How each thought, what they were likely to do in any given arrangement, what little tricks or flourishes they were likely to put on certain parts of songs. Now, Kevin and Matt are in that place, too. You said something about only having listened to these guys for a few months, about 3 or 4 if the time counter on your first video is right, and still being amazed by what they can do, that you didn't think it would ever go away. I've been a fan of theirs in particular, and acapella in general, for the last 10 years and I can tell you that it never gets old. I'm still in shock every time I listen to one of these groups, I still have to remind myself that there's no backing track, no instrumentals helping the voices, that it's all just them. I'm still in awe of every one of these performers, WISHING I had even a quarter of their talent. So, yeah, it never gets old. And, that, to me, is a beautiful thing. Great video, as always, man. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@Kmskinner83]

Sir riffs a lot is the perfect nickname for Scott!!! And I love that you love Avi, but, still love Matt as well…He has gotten some flack for getting into the group. He has held his own and love the group’s vibe. Avi is def happier/more at peace with his solo career.

[@michellesliva4487]

They released this during Pentacon. One of the original reactors , Husain (*sp) made is video with Candace. Kevin’s sister. that’s why I love PTX so much. They make us feel like friends and family, not just fans. They not only fought the music industry. But they battle you tube, and their own label, to allow reaction videos. They do so much for their fans/family, that even if I hated every new song they did, I will always support them just because of who and how they are.

[@lleldridge1]

Yay 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This is my favorite evo, in fact I would buy it if I could! Mitchie is fan-girling Rihanna so hard, it’s adorable 🥰. Transitions 🔥🔥 as always. Thanks SD! PS: Avi is near and dear to all of us but appreciate your recognizing Matt on this one. His tone is very different from Avi’s but he’s so good. Link to official vid MJ Evo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHvQd6WCoMhnj5o

[@melissacoviello2886]

The Superfruit Rhianna is also one of my favs for the same reason!

[@rugr82day]

Yeah, Beyonce was always Scott's favorite Pop Diva but Rihanna was Mitch's. 😁

[@the_nikster1]

this is my absolute favorite Evolution video for all the reasons you've already mentioned. Matt and Kevin are so amazingly in sync and you can just hear Rihanna's style throughout the entire arrangement. it's just perfect. ❤️

[@danielcarter837]

Avi is a great bass. His voice and ability is probably just as rare as Mitch. He is amazing. I do think that Matt's voice, while not as deep, powerful and distinctive as Avi's, blends better with the rest of the group. Matt's voice really reminds me of Nat King Cole singing 'Unforgettable'

[@PtxXtp]

I agree I think Matt is a better fit with the rest of them. Vocally and personality wise. I’ve been here since the sing off with Avi but I’m so glad I gave Matt a chance. He continues to impress me and his growth since he joined Ptx has been huge. There’s a reason he got the job over others. Luckily the band was smart enough to see his potential and what he could add to their group. He definitely helped perk up their energy and has some of the best stage presence I’ve seen.

[@mmg8823]

@@PtxXtp Scott said they all fell in love with his energy right away. Apparently he has always had it. His father says that Matt came out of the womb smiling, waving, and saying hi. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGOVq5SKoditodE As Matt himself has said, he is living the dream.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

@@PtxXtp yes! I looove matts sound! And I think his energy and personality will have been a huge part in giving ptx longivety. He fits so well with the group!

[@kimlogan7721]

Scott once commented that the arrangement process was very organic. Someone has an idea for a song, then they go through 8t while adding parts here and there. By the time it's time to sing it, they already have it down.

[@Bonofox1]

ACTUALLY Scotts nick name is King Riffter or King of Riffs and Runs 😄

[@nancyankrom3803]

If you continue down the rabbit hole you will find PTX experience videos they take on your. You will see Matt and Kevin open by themselves and you will see more of how well they work together. They are the sound for PTX and the Trio know they have the best their is. They are all flawless and are a perfect music family. From comments made from the group all the singers they have made compilations medleys for, have loved them and told them so.

[@lindasmith1370]

Pentatonix has 5 members: Scott, Mitch, Kevin, Kirstin, and Matt. Avi used to be in the group but now has a great solo career.

[@brookebeasley5611]

I'm with you...if an artist has too many riffs, it's a total turn-off for me. But somehow, Scott pulls it off and even makes me love it. Unbelievable! Great reaction... Their "Evolution of Beyonce" is even better. Hope you do that one soon.

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their Havana.

[@buckeyegirl16]

Rihanna never specifically commented on this Medley or Superfruit's Anti Medley but told Mitch at an awards show she loved his voice. Lady Gaga posted the video along with a 🌟 emoji. Beyoncé posted the PTX Evo of Beyoncé video along with "Amazing!" Beyoncé posted Superfruit's Medley of her self-titled album along with "Scott and Mitch are FLAWLESS!" They freaked out. A LOT 😆 Ariana Grande posted video along with a glowing statement about how much she loved it and she cried the entire last minute of the medley.

[@joanbaillie9925]

I think this evolution video is one of their best. It also highlights how many hits Rihanna had. Loved this one. Each one of them was on their game.

[@melissacoviello2886]

Arianna Grande watched the evolution of her music and she said she cried during the last minute because she loved it so much!

[@genesisfillmore1194]

This one is one of their best evolution videos! IF not the best lol. Matt is amazing, Avi will always have a special place in our hearts but Matt has been a great fit with them.

[@sersastark]

Matt's bass is prominent during these videos and I love it.

[@bill.godwin-austen]

Kirstie and Mitch are both chameleons (along with being Unicorns...) and really do seem to have a different look in nearly every video. Her look in this one is one of my favorites. It's really hard to pick a favorite because she always looks so good!

[@PtxXtp]

Have you done their Evolution of Ariana Grande yet? I think it’s one of my favorites. Bring your helmet. Mitch shines in that one and Matt and Kevin work well together in that also. I do wonder if you like Avi so much that maybe you haven’t given Matt a fair chance to prove what he can do without always being compared to Avi? So many people do it but they really are two totally different basses. Maybe you just haven’t listened to enough with Matt to fully appreciate what he can do. I personally think his voice type fits better with the group. For an example of that,the Matt and Mitch blend in mad world is amazing and the trading of solos between Scott and Matt in Can you feel the love tonight the sound is so similar that before we got the video many people still thought Scott was singing when it was Matt who took over.

[@vidsorama2]

Great comment. Thank you.

[@12lovetb]

Agreed! As much as I love Avi, I kinda prefer Matt 🤭. And it makes me sad that he ALWAYS is compared to Avi, even now as he is like on year 5 with Pentatonix.

[@millahnna]

The best Matt and KO moment so far for me is their New Rules/Are You That Somebody mashup. You're gonna need slappy for that one.

Hello Saucey Dad, PTX are masters of their craft in every way. Their evolution arrangements are phenomenal.

Pentatonix has a Beyoncé evolution and Superfruit did a medley of all the songs from Beyoncé's "Beyoncé" album and I don't think you've done either. And there is a Superfruit Taylor Swift medley that is hard to find because the video title is just "1989"; it's all the songs from that album.

Was seriously awesome. Stopped him in his tracks. A new version of the Kirstie crack, to the heart instead. I hope you check them out and really please keep up the journey. Their music and videos are filled to the brim with hope and joy. The world needs ANY if that it can get. When there is hope and joy, love akways follows.
