Singers Reaction/Review to "Pentatonix - Evolution of Rihanna"

[@pearljammies]

I love Matt so, so much. His voice is like melting butter. And in a group of 5 beautiful, charismatic performers, I find myself watching him 75% of the time.

[@havok6280]

I'm always so impressed by their arrangements. The tempo changes and transitions are ridiculous...

[@caroleceres]

havok6280 yes, their transitions are seamless! They make it look easy...

[@cherylwilson8743]

I love Matt, he is so happy and smiley. Love his voice. Mitch, Scott and Kirsty are always great and Kevin holy moly he's amazing. Thanks for reacting to this guys, I always wait to watch your reaction so cheers for getting onto this so quick ha. Have a good day/night guys.

[@denebolazubenelgenubi8720]

This video is fantastic and ... yes, Matt sings so well in the baritone register! At the beginning of his solo for a moment i thought it was Scott!

[@denebolazubenelgenubi8720]

And of course Mitch's voice is perfect as always. And as always, it leaves me speechless and breathless

[@pearljammies]

I thought it was Scott, too, for a moment when I first heard it! I had to back up once I realized!

[@fima7942]

'What are you doing with your tongue, man?.. Ladies must love him' Hehe my thoughts exactly 😏

[@amandas.6500]

Fima I was thinking it as Marco said it!

[@caroleceres]

I too was totally impressed by this Evolution! And even though I love all of them, BUT KEVIN!! He just worked so hard in this song! Yes! They found their sound! That really shows! I’m pleased that you Love Matt now! A lot of people didn’t trust the process or trust that PTX would choose someone who was right for them! But just look and listen to them! They’re still perfect! Matt is going to get better and better, just like the rest of them! I love hearing them sing! Thank you for this speedy reaction! I always look forward to hearing your views, and this was an important one - for me. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤗

[@MC1002MT]

Actually Avi was in on the choice for his replacement; he and Ben did it together. And it shows!!!

[@jamieantonelle8826]

Kirstie really seemed to come through on this, she is gaining some confidence and that's great to see. Mitch, just yeah..mitch. lol They just sound amazing. I am still getting used to Matt. I miss the tone and soul reverberating bass of Avi. Matt's upper tones are so nice. He has such a smooth tone. I loved this one. So many songs in this. Love your reactions!

[@1edpz]

5:32 Just hear matt's low tone, he's like going downstairs . Loved that part!

[@maproductions568]

Sounds great, but thats actually not a low tonem thats a C3 and thats more of a Baritone tone :D

[@Tom-se1em]

I can’t be the only one who seriously prefers Matt’s baritone voice to his bass. His lower range is good for sure, but it’s nothing extraordinary. It feels like he really comes into his own with those little solos, and his opening rap in Finesse when they sing it live.

[@maproductions568]

Thats what i said to Ali after the video! His Baritone voice sounds so good, they should just raise the keys a little!

[@Tom-se1em]

MAProductions Exactly!! They’ve raised the key of most of their songs recently anyway to accommodate Matt’s most comfortable bass range; they only need to do it a tiiiiny bit more.

[@notbanksy2977]

They should see Matt live, his rapping is amazing and in gen so much energy on stage.

[@lukeroe3434]

Yeah it’s a shame cause he’s not a true bass he’s a Baritone with a good lower range. But Avi was a Basso Profundo so it’s not fair to make a comparison of the two

[@Tom-se1em]

Luke Roe Yep true. And, to be fair, for a natural baritone, his lower range is very good, but as a full bass? It’s a bit more meh. I feel like his energy makes up for it a bit though.

[@morgandemark]

“The work he does with his mouth and his tongue, man, the ladies must love him” 11:10 Woah....

[@kathysantersero8690]

You guys are the BEST Pentatonix reactors - knowledge plus enthusiasm and genuineness- thanks for this one! This evolution was tough for me because I know nothing of Rihanna's music, so I really had no sense of how well it was done - waited for your response to decide ;-)

[@caroleceres]

Kathy Santersero yes I agree! Marco and Ali are The Best Pentatonix Reactors. I too struggle with Rihanna’s songs, I only know a few of them, but - like Everything Pentatonix do - once you’ve listened to their version a few times, you start singing the song ‘their’ way and it becomes a new song. There is nothing discordant in their presentation, the whole thing is seamless! I love hearing them sing! 🤗

[@velvetmoonlass9287]

I was a bit scared when you said in your other video that you had to cut back on Pentatonix reactions after the Sing off...and the next day I get this notification! I never clicked so fast 😂👌🏻. ‘The girls must love him 👅😂😂’

[@jenniferyoung8551]

I LOVE your PTX reactions and am going to miss them sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much :( but I will keep my eye out for when you do a new one :) And I had the same reaction as you when Matt started singing, it took me a second to realize it was him. I've watched some of their songs from their summer tour because I'll be seeing them live in less than a month and Matt is doing an AMAZING job and totally fits in, not just vocally, but with his personality as well!

[@thunderingherddrumline2139]

I saw them in concert a week and a half ago. They did Bohemian Rhapsody and Daft Punk in person. The vocal “effects” are not effects at all-it’s all THEM. They did this as well. Incredible. And there was a part of the concert where it was just Matt and Kevin for about 15 minutes just doing a rap battle. Freaking incredible. I also have some videos from the concert I’d be more than happy to share with you. I was prepared to not like the concert, but I daggum loved it. And Matt was higher energy than Avi ever was. Interestingly, Avi (the oldest member of the group at the time) ended up being replaced by Matt (now the youngest member of the group).

[@caroleceres]

Black Smoke Drumline Avi was Never the oldest member of Pentatonix (unless you mean an old soul). Kevin was (& still is) the oldest member - he’s a year older than Avi.

[@Tom-se1em]

Black Smoke Drumline Matt's bass is boosted in the studio and his mic is turned up louder live, so they're not wrong tbf. It's totally fine that it is, especially considering that Matt's more a low baritone than a full bass, but I saw them in Dallas and it's not particularly difficult to tell.

[@MC1002MT]

When I saw this video for the first time I was extremely impressed, more than I thought I would be. And yes I did the same thing when Matt was singing; it took me a few seconds to realize it then I had to go back and hear him again. Avi and Ben (their manager) did the search for Avi's replacement and it shows! ("the ladies must love him" 😆👅 😆👅 😆 👅)!!!!!!!!!!

[@chrispavlich9656]

Mitch’s transformation is due to the fact that he is now uninhibited. He has artistic freedom to let his light shine!

[@albumkosong]

React to Pentatonix comeback to sing off 'I need your love' that's all please

[@polythenepam6461]

I wish you could see them in concert. Hopefully they do another world tour soon. I live for your PTX reactions. ❤️ Please react to Frankie x Scott Hoying "Ghost" 👻 PLEASE 🙏 You will LOVE IT.

[@marlahudgins7038]

Matt is doing such a good job

[@uuquh574]

Finaaaalllyyy !!!! I legit was waiting for your reaction !!!!

[@leeanntoepel4240]

I’m so glad you guys reacted to this one. :) I was honestly worried about this medley after their Top Pop medley, but they KILLED this! It was like having the old PTX back! The transitions! The harmonies! I loved every second!

[@priscillamcrmy]

"what are you doing with your tongue" was not better lmao. about the looks, i think kirstin had so much attitude i couldn't even notice what she was wearing. a legend

[@deborabazzegio1322]

OMG i was waiting for this, I'm so excited ❤ Love y'all 💞 Kisses from Brazil😙

[@sabrinagaldinozaidanalhasn1788]

Uau uma brasileira tudo bom

[@user-ti9jb6ij8f]

Outro br aqui (bem atrasado)

[@albumkosong]

Oh yeah and please react Scott Hoying x Frankie "Ghost"

[@velvetmoonlass9287]

Almost Midnight yaaasss

[@alittlegamer7171]

was just gonna suggest this as well.....yes pls

[@羅曼迪克]

Scott does look like a ghost

[@BigBirdBigDaddy]

Awesome reaction. I think Kirstie was really great here, and Matt definitely was a pleasant surprise. Can you guys react to Hua Chenyu's performances of "child" and "dad I'm home"? There are videos out there with subtitles.

[@bettyhalamickova589]

Imagine to hear this live!!! I'm from the Czech Republic and I travelled to Chicago just bc of their concert and it was so worth it! U have to go, if they will be on European Tour again. They never missed Germany on tour

[@tickledtlady]

I just saw them live in Dallas & Matt is amazing. His stage presence is just great & he and Kevin work well off each other. Scott & Matt also. I also just returned from PentaCon, also in Dallas (convention by fans of PTX for fans of PTX) and Scott & Matt both surprised us by popping up (since they were in Dallas & their parents were at/coming to PentaCon). It was amazing. Hopefully they will be announcing an international tour soon.

[@oliviaangieschmitt7214]

tickledtlady Agreed and I hope these guys can be part of the reactors panel next time : ) Ali, Marco start saving your $$ to come to the US for PentaCon 2k20!!!

[@authorme3438]

i love love love pentatonix!!!! greatly mixed different vocal skills and all so talented!

[@pentatonya1778]

Your reaction to this is SPOT ON! PTX dropped this the day of the Dallas show 8/26 (which was packed w/ PentaconSquad!!!) ... hence the Texas style outfits IMO.

[@mecfstraveler]

You both have the best facial expressions! 😂 I love your reactions SO much! Pentatonix just literally finished Ann amazing tour, and just the last few days have announced their new Christmas album coming out I think in October and it is very clearly Tim burton-esque as in Nightmare Before Christmas! They drop a new single today from the album called "Making Christmas", and it is unlike anything they have ever done before! I know you guys like Superfruit's "guy.exe", well, this song is full of BIG, DRAMATIC, SOUND! I feel like it's their first single off the album because the sound is appropriate for Halloween. It has a somewhat gothic feel. Blew my mind! .. Mitch even has a demented laugh going on in it! They announced their Holiday Tour, AND NBC is bringing the original Broadway cast of "Wicked" to a tv special... and Pentatonix are appearing in it! Exciting stuff just keeps going on since tgey dropped theur last album "Pentatonix Presents Top Pop Vol. 1". They had some fairly short videos shot behind the scenes and while on stage during their Summer Tour 2018 and titled it "PTXperience Summer Tour 2018" and there are 9 episodes I think? I wonder if you'd be allowed to react to those? You get to see a LOT of fun and interesting things on these. They're so weird! 😂 I love them! ❤️

[@LisaMT1218]

Lmao I can't believe you commented on Kevin's tongue work!!

[@sup3rbloom]

I think I recommended this before, but if you guys like Matt singing... you should check out a song he did called "Ain't Nothin'" that he did before he was in Pentatonix. It's AMAZING :)

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

Sorry about the trouble you have had getting access to react to other Pentatonix songs. Thank you for this! Love your reactions!❤

[@dorothycarson6339]

Never clicked so fast . Yea . You should see them live doing this on tour everything.

[@CazzyZaccy24]

I love your reaction to this, they all sound amazing don't they

[@KlainerFTW]

Thanks for the great reaction as always!

[@danyy8087]

Omg, this is amazing , I love Rihanna songs!💎💕

[@neysiasembiring]

And now superfuit antimedley rihanna please

[@Joy77777]

Well, I know someone who loves harmonies. Good Bass Singer.

[@novellakapz2356]

Marco, your reaction was lit 🔥

[@YvonneCClaes]

Mitch is a huge Rihanna fan and his voice is most suited to her singing style as is Kirstie's. This arrangement was SOOO much better than their last medley of Top Pop, Vol. 1. This rekindled my hope for PTX because I felt disappointed after their last medley.

[@madisonfoster1702]

Yvonne C. Claes Why were you disappointed after the last medley?

[@YvonneCClaes]

Madison Foster, their transitions were rough, almost non-existent, in the last medley. But I realize now they put it out quickly to promote their album. It definitely wasn't a "formal" medley like their evolution releases. However, this medley was so much stronger. Also, I could hear Matt more in this one, and I'm not talking about his leads.

[@madisonfoster1702]

Yvonne C. Claes oh ok. I understand

[@yvettemaldonado3725]

I love your reactions so real you guys are great reactors! 😍😍

[@stephaniebray3983]

You are so funny, Marco

[@WoefulMinion]

It seems whenever an album is released, there is a flurry of KZbin blocks. Then it settles down for a while and reaction videos are allowed again until the next album comes out.

[@Bonofox1]

PENTATONIX ARE TALENTED MUSICAL ALIENS!!!👽👽👽👽👽

[@laurabsts3980]

Hi young men ! This time I prefer Scott ! I love him.... But I love you more

[@teslamodels8266]

OMG I LOVE MITCH'S VOICE SO MUCH!!!!

[@maveronicachan9808]

I love how you move your head to the music guys.. Haha. Ptx is amazing! 😁

[@chrisl5589]

I think the top pop medley they purposely left out all the good parts so you would buy he album. The full versions are so much better.

[@typ2679]

Omg I've been waiting for ur reaction lol!!

[@phreak1118]

Das sound machine!

[@ItsDaniDee]

Goosebumps

[@Miri0112]

One of the biggest improvements is Kirstie has a confidence that she lacked before doing the 'Kinky Boots' Broadway show. That confidence shows in her vocal performance. To me Matt will never be able to replace Avi. The new songs are arranged with his abilities in mind, but rearranging old songs for him, I think, would be a mistake. I fear going to a concert for the chance they make this mistake. Thanks for the reaction.

[@drieuxkoeppel4157]

Robert Garrett he’s great in concert. I saw him with them in December and on August 25-he was AWESOME.

[@Catherine.Catherine]

I saw them in Toronto in September and they were AMAZING!!! Seriously, you have nothing to fear, I bloody loved it! 💜💛💜💛🎶🎵🎶

[@deborabazzegio1322]

Please guys react to Home Free Woman Amen/ Female Love y'all ❤

[@pentatonya1778]

My first "listen" to this vid... was Watching Candice (KOs sister) do reaction video w/ reactor Tyree @dreadhead_oreo LIVE THAT DAY b4 the Dallas show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6KZnHSart-SnJI (@Candie4JC 1st reaction vid😉)

[@grassifontana]

If you want to react to someone other than PTX, you should react to Kacey Musgraves “High Horse”. Can not get that song out of my head! So good! But, please continue to react to PTX and Superfruit!

[@sd11hhs]

I'm kinda new here, have you ever reacted to their Gangnam Style cover? Old, but still awesome stuff.

[@jennb2954]

2nd! I love you guys!

[@caseyiwanaga1792]

also 'havana' by Pentatonix

[@aprilosem]

Could you do the song that Pentatonix's did, I believe it was Bohemian something or other, lol. Hey I'm old and forgetful. :)

[@caroleceres]

April Osen it is Bohemian Rhapsody - I believe that they reacted to that one - have a look through their channel, you’ll see the entire list of their PTX reactions!

[@nenebaquiran5711]

[@maproductions568]

Totally get it!

[@coffeebean41]

Great reaction, just not my favorite of theirs. Not bad or just, just my own opinion. Seemed like the mix was off and instead of blending, it was just............loud. Ah.....still good, because it's still PTX. lol
