Singers Reaction/Review to "Pentatonix - Sing" (+ Avi's Message)

[@maproductions568]

Hey guys, Dimash reactions will be up in the next days, since we cant upload Ep12 of "The Singer" due to copyright reasons! Hope you understand, we will record again tomorrow!

[@mirandadickerson8555]

MAProductions you guys did so good reacting to the sing & a brilliant job reacting to Avis message I’m crying 😭 but I do totally understand the reason & I’ll support him always.

[@maryd648]

Guys, since you can’t do Ep12 (that sucks as I was looking forward to it), you should watch the Diva Dance live at Bastau; I think he actually sang it better at the concert. You should also check out Dimash’s vocal range video. He is so amazing!

[@tinaaikaa77]

MAProductions Yeah, so sad about this, but of course understand! Hope you tell us what did you think of the last three episodes even we cant see them! And do Daybreak and Diva dance in Bastau consert! Love you guys and have a great new year!

[@dianeshoaf4330]

Episode 12 sucks but here is a safe link to The Diva Dance at Dimash's Bastau Concert. Dimash has not performed Confessa since The Singer ended...but here is The Diva Dance from the movie "The Fifth Element" kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX-UmH-ZYpmdo5I

[@elizc2]

Yes guys. We miss you doing Dimash. Please react to his new song he wrote called War and Peace.....you can get it with ENG. subs.....can't wait to see you guys again.. Have been waiting for weeks....

[@TheWorldofHA]

Sing is one of my favorite videos, partially because I got to be in it! But I’m glad you reacted to Avi’s message. I respect his decision and will always support him.

[@cindyanntramel7519]

Hassan where in the video are you? Also I am so happy to know that PTX is staying together. So many musical groups split when one person leaves.

[@TheWorldofHA]

Cindy Ann Tramel In this reaction video, I am at 2:38. I am the one on the hover board.

[@cliles6764]

Ha! I was so excited when I saw “Sing” the first time and saw you and Toddy and all the others! Really cool!

[@audreyfortier1441]

yes we will miss Avi but like kevin said in is livestream Avi is very happy now and its the most important for me no one can replace Avi and i dont whant to because the new bass Matt sallee is amazing he was a fan of Ptx in the past and now he can be with them dream can be true. he have amazing voice, very funny and sweet man and all member of ptx love him. Avi is Avi and Matt is Matt. pentatonix will always be amazing with Avi or not and i will always be there for support them.

[@cassie8906]

I've read most of the comments and there is a theme - PTX is special. Not just their musical talents but as people. Avi was special to me and most pentaholics understand him and know why he had to do this. I will say something about this announcement that made Avi and the group different from others. I am older than the average age of the fan base so I've gone through a few times where my favorite bands have split up and most not on amicable circumstances. Avi made this announcement after their summer tour dates were released and he agreed to finish out the tour. I feel that he didn't have to do that, but that's who he is. I wasn't planning on seeing them this summer because they were not performing in San Francisco. So I bought a ticket to Chicago to see them in August to say my "good bye" to that chapter of PTX for me. I went with someone that wanted to meet them at the buses after the concert. I've never done that and I'm awkward with celebs 'in the wild". I've been blessed to have met them at various VIP meet & greets so when I went to the buses, I hung back and let the other fans interact. THIS is why Avi is special: When he felt he'd seen/talked to everyone, he looked around and said "did I get everybody?" I didn't say a word, I was standing about 20 feet from the fence where he was and it was DARK. He looked at me and said "What about you?" THAT'S who Avi is! He understands how important he is to his fans. :-)

[@cassie8906]

Light in the Hallway Yes - God was crying that Avi was leaving as well. It was at an outdoor venue. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWa5mp1uhrd1g9U

[@DeriBear]

Great story

[@anonymousblah4486]

That is such a lovely story! I can totally see him doing that! He's actually THAT precious 😭❤

[@cassie8906]

Indeed! :-)

[@sabrinaptxtacy8411]

Scott’s rock and roll rasp is Everything!!

[@treebeardoftheforest625]

We all miss Avi but his message was so true, from the heart, from his soul. We enjoyed pentatonix with Avi as long as it lasted but it's time to move on.

[@YvonneCClaes]

YES! So glad you reacted to these. Oh wow, I am tearing up so much watching Avi's farewell message and your reactions to it. I feel particularly sad for the other PTX members. Scott was on the verge of tears, Mitch looked expressionless -- just trying to hold it together, like he was having an out-of-body experience -- Kirstie was angry and sad, and Kevin looked the most OK with Avi's decision, likely because he knew about it before the others since he and Avi were longtime roommates. To give you perspective, Avi told me when I met him that he and PTX toured for 8 months during 2016 alone, a time during which his mom had surgery. He felt bad for not being there for his mom. Avi is a gentle soul. Being on the road that long and away from his family really hurt Avi. He just couldn't do it anymore. I soooo respect him for that. Like he said to me, "You only get one set of parents. I don't want to have any regrets." Such a moral man... I agree. Avi just wasn't a bass. His overtones alone were so amazing-- and rare.

[@rlhcat7662]

Thank you for sharing this background. When I saw videos from 2016 of Avi and his folks, it seemed like something was going on, but didn't really know. I do wish they had been able to find a way to let him tour with them part of the time. but you have to trust that they knew best. There are many really great basses out there, and perhaps they will find their 5th part just as magically as they did the first time.

[@monicaatilano]

@@rlhcat7662 I not the only that noticed something was up with Avi I saw ptx twice in 2016 , I noticed it more at my second concert

[@Tom-se1em]

Avi's message is still probably the saddest video I've watch on the internet. PTX's fast pace was something that a lot of us saw being a problem for years because they were touring and recording constantly, with very little substantial time off. It's just a shame that it ended with Avi leaving and not the group taking some well deserved time to slow things down a bit. Still, great video guys! Your reactions to Scott in sing were perfect XD

[@emilysnicketvanilla]

Great reaction! Sing is one of my favorites of theirs. And we all miss Avi, but he's doing better now that he's on his own! And we now have a new person to love, Matt, and he is KILLING it with the group so far, there are exciting times ahead!

[@srslyboomer]

Man, you two hit the proverbial nail right on the head. "Sing" is amazing. Avi's message is heartbreaking. And it's for the same reason - we're Pentaholics, because PTX invites us to share who they are, and what's in their hearts, and in return we give them All The Feels. Watching Avi's message the first time, I felt like I have when having one of those 3AM conversations over beer with a really really close friend, and finding out what troubles they've been having - it's an honor to be trusted with the knowledge, and heartbreaking at the same time because there's nothing you can really do, except be there in the moment, listening. I love PTX because of how much they love us, and how much love we as Pentaholics give back. Sometimes it hurts - but I think they and their community is sooooo worth it :) Thanks for sharing, guys!

[@susanb4213]

Whenever I see this clip, I'm always struck by Scott's response. All the other members were stoic (though I don't mean they didn't have feelings about it), but Scott couldn't help but hug Avi two different times. He has a big heart, and he couldn't help but react to Avi's emotion.

[@pat_in_va8605]

To those watching this video now, the part about Avi leaving, you have to understand that he did not grow up with Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin. He first sang with them the day before they had their try-out on Sing-Off. From what I have seen the group needed to be more than a trio, which is what they were when Scott got the bug to try-out for the Sing-Off show. (It might even be that Scott, Kirsten, and Mitch were all doing other things by that time - after high school). They met up with Avi and Kevin in L. A. and decided they could make a group for the show. That Avi stayed for six years is actually pretty good when you consider it became a full time, overtime gig. When you hear his music since leaving you can see that his musical interest is quite different than the pop music path of Pentatonix. They all shine, each and every one of them. Avi's star is simply in a different galaxy now.

[@larrywt656]

AMEN

[@AngelsSoRandom]

This message from Avi came around the time that his mother was going through her third round of cancer treatment. He had already missed the first two rounds of cancer treatment that she went through. Nobody knew this until recently when he started putting out his new album and she came out and said why he left Pentatonix

[@Midway_Midway]

Thank God you reacted to Sing because I needed that energy to rewatch Avi's message. I agree with you guys, Avi will always be missed but as other said, it's a just a new phase and I think it's going to be amazing nonetheless (just another kind of amazing): for now it seems that Matt Sallee it's going to be the new bass and he seems perfect for the job (he was a fan a PTX and I think that Avi has helped in choosing him). PS: I feel you Ali, Kirstin's reaction during the message has always struck me the same way (sad and angry for things you can't control)

[@dorothycarson6339]

The new bass is wonderful guys , their Xmas tour was great..

[@staceesgotti9859]

I'm crying all over again, I'm still in shock 😢 I love you guys, thank you for all you do for us.

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

I love Sing. Such a fun song. And it's such a great anthem for PTX. Singing is all they do, really. Avi was the humble soul of PTX. Yes, he sang bass, but he is a bassoprofundo and had such presence when he sang. But PTX is a deeply talented group and they'll be just fine without him. I'm genuinely excited to see how their sound evolves. Matt and Kevin will be creating something totally new.

[@danbunch1514]

This kids can also really write tunes as well as do covers..never underestimate a good music teacher...and God given talent.

[@billwatkins697]

We all share the sorrow for Avi's leaving. On the brighter side, each of the 5 had their wealth from performance listed at 8 milli8on each. At least he will not go hungry.

[@maryd648]

Thanks for the reaction guys! That’s one of my favorite PTX songs!

[@rlhcat7662]

Man, I can't believe I watched this again with you two! I miss Avi so much - I must be a serious masochist. And it was weird watching the second video after the first, which was such a happy, bright video. Oh well, thanks for always sharing your honest opinions and I'll keep looking for more reactions (more Sing-Off vids - hint, hint)

[@tiffanyjoslin4595]

And, you're right. They slay this live. And, Scott IS the real deal (but you already know that)!

[@jenniferyoungberg]

PTX performed this song as their encore for every show for their PTX World Tour. I dont know HOW Scott did it. Superhuman! Still miss Avi... I forever will.

[@burntlu5083]

This song in concert is INSANE!! You should watch live performances

[@nanaopfernandes]

this reaction made me so happy! it’s so good to know that someone else feels the same way about avi that i do... thank you SO MUCH. thank you!!!! you both are amazing & so honest. that’s special.

[@Jskew]

Great heart-felt reaction guys. Yes Avi can never truly be replaced and every member of PTX is like a member of our family. No one can know what tomorrow will bring and perhaps when the seasons change and forest father Avi has recharged that very special spirituality that touches us all.. PTX will rise again for destiny brought them together, God given talent made them great and in whatever the sunrise brings I have a feeling we have only seen the first beautiful warming ray of the PTX legacy. Keep on keeping on and looking forward to what dreams may come. J.

[@superdre4892]

Avi will always be a member of ptx no matter what #PTXforever, but pentatonix are still pushing at full force thank god. Great and honest reactions guys 😢😊

[@Monneeralt]

I’m literally sitting here crying once again over that message, I literally feel nauseous... but thank you so so much for this video guys, it’s a good ending to this era

[@anntakahashi2795]

I think you guys should react to a live Sing video because it’s the last song of the track list and they are SUPER energetic during it! Maybe even the last one with Avi... it’s heartbreaking because it’s an Avi slideshow in the back and they all cry and hug at the end. But i think you guys should watch it, you’ll probably cry because the entire band is so emotional during the whole concert but it shows how much of a family they really are. Also you guys should react to “Matt Sallee (so far)” or something along those lines, he’s the new bass and he’s incredible. He has a great energy and is an amazing singer (huge range!) and he’s also super young. Definitely super different from Avi but I think if they were similar, it would be way too weird. Matt brings a new fun and exciting energy to ptx and as much as I LOVE Avi so so so so much, Matt is amazing and not only a great bass, but has a great personality.

[@skyrkt10]

Hi guys - I understand your reasons for concern re the new bass. I cried for a whole month after Avi´s message thinking that PTX was done. I was able to see them in their 2017 Summer Tour and then see the December Christmas tour as well. Matt (the new bass) is incredibly talented and nice and I was amazed ts how PTX has been able to maintain their essence even with Avi gone. It still felt like PTX, but with a twist... if that makes sense. It´s obviously never going to be the same but I think they´ve done a great job picking Matt. I hope he stays permanently.

[@Silverbell_TTV]

OMG you watched the saddest message ever right after watching the happiest song ever! That was well said, your reaction after Avi's message.

[@skneptun8870]

14:50 when you mix up the languages 😂

[@ebonyivory2017]

Oh nooo emotional Ali! 😭 I want to hug you both! 🤗

[@low-key_heiki9376]

Ali, I love your "Down, Down, down"! Thank you for this reaction! Sing is just uplifting! Tyler Oakley also was in the vid. Ugh... Avi... I miss him really much. But Now, I guess, he's much happier. The most important thing for him. Would worse if he would stay and get depressions or so worst, like suicide... hard. Now, for him, for PTX, for (hopefully) Matt and all of us, the fandom, a new chapter started. And we all should look forward not only backwards. And I for myself am excited for what future will bring! Love you guys! Thanks again. Hi from North Germany. 😉

[@maryd648]

Yes, Avi will be missed but I think PTX fans owe it them to not discount any future endeavors and NOT continually compare to the past. Sure it’s never going to be the same. It could be totally different but better...we’ll just have to wait and see.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I can’t imagine watching this goodbye message from Avi in real-time. I am tearing up and it’s years later.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Same! I love matt and wasnt around for the avi era, but seeing those videos around that time (his good ye video, last concerts etc), you can just feel the emotions!

[@dfrustratedmusician1174]

So glad you reacted to Avi’s message right next to Sing. I miss these guys reacting to PTX vids or anyone of the members (including Avi)

[@Curandera99]

Just a note about Sing, at concerts they use that as their very last song and at one of the two concerts I went to at the end notes cannons with confetti went off and it is a full out party! Scott gives full out! As far as Avi, I love his new music and he is tweeting stuff from his Acapella Academy and pictures of him hiking near his home. He is happy. I can't feel bad about any of it. And PTX is having fun and making great music too. It is sad, but not nearly as sad as it was.

[@kajhha1993]

When are you reacting to the rest of the sing off? SO READY FOR IT

[@bslewi]

I think I recall Scott talking once in a livestream or something about how difficult it is for him to sing Sing live, just as you said

[@magicalphoenix]

I almost real like this song is now an anthem for Pentatonix

[@LowBrass906]

I miss Avi too, and he will be missed. He is still making music, you should react to his group, Avriel and the Sequoias, specifically "Quarter Past Four," which was released a few days after the message came out. Such an amazing video and music

[@Darth.Fluffy]

I love this song.... Lol.. And the fact that you guys stuck around to hear it again during the credits makes me think you kind of liked it too.

[@adancer3592]

You should have done the sad part first . And I have seen it a few times and I still have as much tears than the first time They all carry the light As do the Pentatonix fans I can't wait to see them not only because I love them so much I want to be in a crowd of such positive energy that their fans have .

[@martinhafner2201]

They used this as the opening song on one of their tours. It's a great ice breaker!

[@cassie8906]

Also, I suggest that you check out / react to (if you want) the final 2 performances from the tour. I ended up flying to Vermont to see his last show because, well, I'm an adult and I can (ha ha)! I recommend you check out Seboss12's videos as she captured the intros where Avi introduces "Light in the Hallway" (have tissues handy) and they end with "Sing" intro from an emotional scott where they surprise him with a video montage of "Avi Moments" as they sing. Those 2 songs are the encore. It was amazing and her videos captured the night perfectly! There are lot of videos from the VT show but her's have the intros which I feel are important. Quality is good as well. I'll leave the links in a response to this comment. I'll shut up now! Love watching your reactions! This is the first time I think I saw Ali tear up! :-)

[@anonymousblah4486]

Was just gonna recommend this, yes they should react to these two performances along with his speech in between.

[@HottnTrottn08]

I "mourned" for like a month. Haha

[@polythenepam6461]

I am still in mourning 😭

[@pentatonya1778]

I was SHOOK at first. But now I'm just FLAT OUT EXCITED for ALL the new Music from ALL OF THEM! It's going to be a GREAT SUMMER/FALL!!!

[@denitaclifford4394]

There was also Todrick Hall, Tyler Oakley, Hoda Kopy, Anna Kendrick, Victoria Justice, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, & Nick Lachey!!

[@annikazara1367]

WAIT OH MY GOD, you should react to Avi's last performance with them, it was Sing! While they were singing, a slideshow was playing with all of Avi's memories with Pentatonix. I actually cried, despite the fact that it was a very happy and cheerful song.

[@mjbartholomew5317]

I really hope you check out Avi's new music i.e., Avriel and the Sequoias. Love you guys.

[@sarahrosa9771]

Your harmonies are right on Marco! I wish I could do that on the fly.

[@abigalegiles8495]

I think this was the first time that I didn’t cry while watching Avi’s message and it’s probably because I’m laying in bed with the flu with a fever over 100 degrees.

[@elaineadams6718]

Great reaction to Sing...I love the song and seeing all the fans in the video...sorry guys, I didn't watch the second half. It still breaks my heart.......

[@biggeorgetx]

At least Avi is still alive and will be making music.

[@ronaldschweitzer1110]

You guys are so great.

[@janetranslates]

The "Sing" video was a gift to the fans. There were several celebrities in there, and KZbinrs like Hassan Ahmed and Tyler Oakley. But most of those bits of film were just sent in by ordinary fans, mostly lip-synching to a brief clip of "Sing!" that PTX sent out ahead of time for that purpose. And they put out a call to that pier a few hours ahead of filming, so lucky fans who could get there got to take part. And then...Avi. I've wanted for a long time to see your reaction to "Sing!" but I put it off because I knew how hard it would be to rewatch Avi's announcement. If I focus on any one member of PTX, I'm so overwhelmed with admiration and love that I feel like that one is my "Favorite." But Avi...somehow he's always been the MOST favorite of all, for me. He needed to leave, and PTX is going to be just fine. They were wise to pick Matt, someone with tons of talent but a very different singer and a very different personality from Avi. Avi may not get the invitations to be on national television, but he's still making music, is about to release an album, and will be touring soon--at his own pace. Meanwhile, we still have a treasure trove of 6 years of PTX-with-Avi music! Even so, I still just cried, all through the video and the whole time I've been writing this.

[@nicolecurren4764]

I’ve seen Avi’s farewell about 10 times now and it still makes me cry every time. Thank you for this reaction. Could you pleeeeeaaase react to YEBBA “My Mind”? You will love her. Promise. 😉

[@polythenepam6461]

Yes! I am obsessed with YEBBA! "My Mind" is life changing 🙌

[@pennywells9824]

Avi thought he was going to ride a bullet train. He just wasn't ready for a rocket ship

[@AugustDeb]

Mitch looks pissed off and like he doesn't want to be there. Love Scott's support of Avi.

[@Bonofox1]

🌟SO YEAH, SING is such an AMAZING HAPPY song..And even though I had seen Avi's message ONLY ONCE before it still BREAKS MY HEART!! Support Avril (Avi) and the Seqouias 🌟And if you see the latest videos from PTX Avi has commented his support for the group and their new bass singer Matt...YES I PRAY for a colab with Avi and PTX someday...And it is so true Ali, you can't help to get attached to the these BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED people...Thank you for your honest and enthusiastic reactions...catch you guys on the next video...🌟

[@dorothycarson6339]

Ptx will go on

[@lindaosmon5224]

They always open their concerts with this song

[@some_girl_on_YT]

What about a reaction to this reaction video almost 5 years later? Would love to know how you are feeling now when you rewatch it. Now knowing what Matt gives to the group. Knowing Avi's solo stuff. That would be interesting. 😊

[@lauraconnors6783]

You should react to Light in the Hallway in Essex, VT at one of Avi's last shows live.

[@LinnCk]

I adore Avi’s voice, and he will be missed in the group. But will continue to support his solo work and the other members of ptx’s work. Please react too light in the hallway and standing by! There is no music video but they have done them live. Avi-sentric songs, two of my favorites 💗

[@DeweyGotanycheese]

There were a bunch of celebrities, including KZbinrs, scattered all through it. Most of them were American, so maybe you wouldn’t know them. Great video!

[@dhyaniehyun]

Welcome back 👏😍

[@imuawarriors]

you guys are great!

[@wihcin.3488]

Victoria Justice, Hailee Steinfeld, Todrick Hall, Tyler Oakley, Masie Williams, Grace Helbig, Hassan Ahmed, there were a bunch of celebrities and close friends to Pentatonix in this video

[@KimVoni]

You can replace Avi with another "bass" singer, but there will NEVER be another AVI. Avi brought the best out of everyone in Pentatonix as a group, I've watched tons of videos of them bonding from beginning to end. They were like a big family and were a family. So I understand why Avi had a hard time with his decision. Not being able to catch a break or to see your family or to have a moment for yourself.....it's hard. Most people will try to say that he could've or should've or what they would've done in his position but you never know until you have been placed in that position. I still consider him a Pentatonix. He just stepped down. One thing we should remember is that he never said that he wouldn't return. So I keep my fingers crossed. The new guy Matt Sallee is awesome. He's not Avi, but he's bringing his flavor to Pentatonix and I love it as well. You should listen to Sweater off their new Christmas album. I LOVE IT and listen to it every day besides Daft Punk and Bohemian Rhasphody.

[@superyovannia]

GUYS (first love your reactions) please REACT TO their commercials compilations. This video was so sad and I love how honest it was but now I wanna see you react to something more happy: )

[@garyblocker9135]

1- Not only do they perform "Sing" in live concert, for the 2016 performance we attended (Raleigh, NC), they did it as the last encore song!Here is a link to the KZbin video of that concert (They happened to stream it online live. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnjOdJ1rfM2Amq8 2. I believe that the video announcing Ali's departure was posted last Spring - perhaps before you first reacted to a Pentatonix video. Avi's tentative replacement, Matt Salehe, did the 2017 Holiday shows & Christmas tour with PTX. It looks permanent. But, as you expected, he is good; but he is no Avi. Avi had a degree in music and formal opera voice training; so he had a major creative roll in arranging & some composing. PTX will still be a treasure as long as the other 4 original members stay together. 3. Kirstie is now in NYC preparing to appear on Broadway in the musical "Kinky Boots". That plus the other changes are the likely reasons she postponed marrying Jerome Michael Lewis (duet partner in Disney Medley with Voctave). I expect PTX members to continue persuing individual projects while collaborating on albums & tours as Pentatonix. 3. I am one of the few who happened to watch the "Sing Off" S3E1 show during Autumn 2011, then following them through the competition and since. I am now 67. My wife and both of our adult daughters are also "Pentaholics." To be sure, Pentatonix as a group crosses genre and generations... That's true talent. We have at least one copy of every CD/album released by Pentatonix. P.S. To date, my wife & I have attended 4 concerts by Home Free Vocal Band since they won Sing Off season 4. We have their albums, too.

[@denitaclifford4394]

Here is a few more and that should be the end of the regular songs!! Cruisin for a Bruisin, Where are U Now, Royals, Say Something (I thought you heard this one I'm not sure), Problem, Starships, Rather Be, Papaoutai, Radioactive, We Are Ninjas (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), NSYNC Medley and finally, Save The World/Don't Worry!! Good luck with all of them! They are easy to find!! They are all good as you can tell!!!! Some of them are earlier then others!!

[@inkarazhumadilova713]

Hello guys, we are so waiting Dimash's video, thank you! Tomorrow is tomorrow!🖖

[@morgancian]

Please react to Avriel and the Sequoias Fields and Pier please, love your music reactions to a cappella

[@kathyf.2002]

Well said, all.

[@ailawil89]

I saw them performance this song live. It was awesome, but it wasn’t as full. I mean, I can’t complain. I didn’t expect him to belt for the entire duration of the song. That would be exhausting.

[@dorothycarson6339]

Pentatonix not ending they play all over.

[@caroleceres]

I love this song. But I couldn’t re-watch Avi’s leaving video, even a year on! It’s just too sad...

[@ElibeniEB7]

React to "Sage and Stone" By Avi please!! Is a beautiful song

[@denisehaukkala9742]

One of their better original songs

[@maritschiller7236]

I literally skipped the part where you watched Avi's message although I love his own music now. It would have made me cry :(

[@polskib585]

Please, react to Pentatonix- Papaoutai, Can't hold us, Problem, Somebody that I used to know, Superfruit- Felling myself and Mitch Grassi - Find You. 😚 thank you❤

[@billwatkins697]

About Avi's leaving we all share the sorrow. On a brighter side, his net worth about the time he left was reported to be 8 million. They alwayts shared equally.

[@mecfstraveler]

You don't need to be worried. Pentatonix is made up of 5 members.. not just a bass. Now I know why you didn't react to their current Christmas releases? They could have used some reactions... but noooooooooooooo. I was really surprised when your channel ignored their new stuff... but were watching Avi's new group. I'm sad to see them being treated like this after they just lost someone who they thought was like family. (right up until his message). And They aren't being given a fair chance. Matt has an energy that is so unique and is having a great effect on the groups live performances! They're really dancing! And Matt has guts! He had to learn a HUGE Pentatonix music Library because they threw him in and it was sink or swim. They sang so many REALLY hard numbers LIVE, over and over again. Bohemian Rhapsody, Aha!, Imagine, Hallelujah, Evolution of Michael Jackson, all of their Christmas music, Daft Punk... and I see fans who are supportive of Matt. He is widely and openly embraced into our "community". Can you imagine seeing Kevin and Matt dancing up front in a hip hop duet? It was so cool! And the rest of the group came back to life during that holiday tour! We have missed seeing choreography like they used in The Sing-Off and acting less formal live. They were dancing! Mitch and Santa did "The bump" in Up on the Rooftop"! and the 1st time was spontaneous... but they kept it! Fans were saying that "I finally have my Pentatonix back! They're so energized and moving on stage like in The Sing-Off!" It jurts, still, that Avi did this... and I'm having a hard time with the timing. Right at a pinnacle of their career and popularity? He states valid reasons for leaving.. the pace is just too much... and starts slinging videos with his new group up on KZbin so fast it is far too coincidental and ready for recording. He had prepared for this... but hadn't prepared PTX for it, and didn't help them gind a replacement before he left. and all the "We must support Avi!" cries went up and way too many of the PTX fans dropped the remaining 4 members of that group like yesterdays trash and flocked to Avi. He's not cast out! There is no "poor Avi " here! For the love of all things holy! He CHOSE to leave! He planned it out so he would be ready to get right to work with his new band. That was in bad form. Imagine not knowing this was coming? I felt punched in the chest. I kept looking at the rest of the group and Kirstin, Scott and Mitch all seemed like their world had just been sucked into a black hole. LOOK at them! They've been crying! FYI.. Everyone is making sacrifices. They make special concessions for each other to help them be able to do this. Kevin has strong religious beliefs, and isn't supposed to work on the Sabbath (Friday at sunset to Saturday at sunset), so PTX stopped doing shows for that tour on Kevin's Sabbath. I don't know how they've handled that over time.. but was recently shown something so beautiful about that group and Kevin himself... During the Holiday tour (sold out venue after venue) for the girst time in 6 yesrs they had to cancel a show when medical personnel put her in Lockdown from the flu. She showed up at sound check with a bucket bedide her... quite the trooper! But her symptoms rapidly declined. And she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The powers that be did NOT want the band delivering the news to a packed audience, who'd all stood in line for hours in the cold Boston air to see them. But Scott and the guys insisted that they deliver the news to the people that had paid money to see them. PTX takes that responsibility to the people who come to see them very seriously. You should have seen how distressed they were to have to deliver the bad news. Scott sounded like he was going to burst into tears, explaining that they had no say in the decision.. and that they WOULD come back and perform for them! Or, of course, they could have their money back. But they promised to be back asap. So they came back on a Friday, the night after the tour should have ended. They came back to Boston as promised. But It was on Kevin's Sabbath. Do you know what Kevin did? He realizec that these were midtly Christmas songs and that's about Jesus being born. So, the content of the songs met Sabbath rules. But he can't work on the Sabbath. So he wouldn't accept payment for performing that night. These people are going through a LOT with Avi's sudden departure.. but they're going above and beyond to continue to create music in an innovative way and stay true to who they are and always have been. On social media we keep trying to find out if we (the fans) get to keep Matt. He's not Avi. Of course not! But he's Matt. And Matt is hardworking and upbeat and has genuine humility and a joyful spirit that is healing the wounded hearts we all have. please give PTX a chance?
