Pentatonix - Gold (Kiiara Cover) REACTION

[@michelles746]

The original song is majority autotuned. Mitch is like “i got this!!!!” They are so talented

[@marablemorgan8292]

They don't covers.... They do upgrades!

[@geriatricptxer2362]

To truly appreciate their arrangement of this song, you have to listen to the original. The octave jumps Mitch does vocally where all done electronically in the original. Not dissing the original artist since that's her style, but this is just so much better. The way Avi and Kevin echo the computerized background is unreal. Kirstie and Scott more than make up for all the missing computer backgrounds.

[@marablemorgan8292]

Elegantly simplistic...

[@joebarnhart4460]

Also notice this one of there "live" recordings. They did not do this in the studio and lip sync, they sang it straight without edits. They are perfectionists.

[@janetburrows137]

They are amazing 😂❤😂❤

[@Jskew]

I think one of the BIGGEST overlooked things in the PTX universe is the work. These artist put in the work. They don't just accept good. They write, they rewrite, they listen, then tweek and since they love each other without any Divas they critique each other until the end product is simply perfection. Like a sports team that has played together for years and they just know each others moves, this is what you get after YEARS of work and dedication. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

[@susanwalker4908]

I love the way you respect the talent of this group. It makes me sad when their fans get side tracked on all the personal life stuff. These people are pure talent and should be listened to and appreciated. Never lose sight of the undesirable talent of the group and the individual abilities that each one brings to the table.

[@lexymich22]

Ben Bram is the 6th member of PTX. He is the one that does all of these arrangements usually with Kevin first then the rest of them. He deserves major props for these too. He's the invisible member of the group. They call themselves choir nerds.

[@debbieterry1972]

It’s amazing what the human voice can do. They make it seem so easy. Mitch his voice is unbelievable.

[@chuckt8457]

Layering, looping, filters and autotune

[@ExotiicButter]

@@chuckt8457 Lol found a hater....let's see you do half of what they do.

[@lauriedaiken4426]

Not sure there is another group of friends that could get together and do this, but let me know if you find them and I’ll come to the party! 😀I hadn’t heard the original before hearing this (I’m old, they are actually my introduction to most popular music) but I was disappointed when I looked up the original and watched it, it couldn’t hold a candle to this amazing performance.

[@taniareads8751]

Yes - me too - I've gone back and listened to the originals of many of their covers and heard singers I had not previously listened to. I always prefer the PTX version!

[@k.whatever9046]

ive got four siblings and whenever all of us are at home we often spontaneously end up composing an acapella without meaning to lmao. its instinct at this point, one of us could be humming while scrolling through our phone or doing the laundry or just whatever and one by one the rest join in 😂

[@nicklenights]

Same here!😄 Pentatonix is mostly my introduction to the songs by others. I’ve been in stores or listening to the radio in the car and hear a song that I recognize but it doesn’t sound right… then the light bulb goes off and it’s Oohhh that must be by the original artist. Sorry, but PTX’s “upgrade” is better by far!!🤣🤣🤣😁😁🥰

[@caroleceres]

Yes! I second that! PTX songs are all originals to me - with very few exceptions - even their Evolution Of’s are actually A Song, not a compilation (the only exception being Michael Jackson, because I was a fan). So, the Only song I deliberately sought out (to hear the original), was this one, because of all of the comments saying that they wiped the floor with it! Guess what? EVERYBODY was correct!! The PTX version isn’t better! It’s HEAD & SHOULDERS Better. It isn’t a cover. It’s an UPGRADE! Since this song, I’ve Never sought out the original of any other cover. There really isn’t any need. I figure that I’m ALWAYS hearing the best version of the song if PTX are singing it. 🤗

[@laurelwenson928]

Trust me, it's pretty damn fun watching them in a sold out stadium of 20,000+ fans! They spin gold wherever and whenever they open their mouths -- and yet they're all so damn humble and laid back!

[@jayneross6123]

Another one they do so simply, have fun and great harmonies is NO. Think you'd enjoy that.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

I'd argue this isn't simple at all. The video production, sure. But the arrangement is wack difficult. Especially Kirstin's part near the end. Credit to her.

[@kellystrickland7412]

Yes none of it is "simple" ... but they make it look simple!

[@justlinsu]

@@Wiley_Coyote Agree I've seen so many 'reactors' give credit to Mitch for the end part when it is obviously Kirsten. I know that Kevin & Avi would work long into the night honing their craft when they shared an apartment...

[@Wiley_Coyote]

@@justlinsu That's bizarre. Sometimes they can sound alike, but not there. It's clearly her.

[@wendydejong7984]

They also sing in other languages!!! Check out papatoui and perfume medley!!! It's nuts!!

I love your reactions. You see things others miss. You read between the lines or rather you hear between the lyrics.

This blew me away, in such a relaxed manner. I didn't know the mix was possible. Peace and bright blessings.

[@Sunshine-4me2]

I need friends like that too. Heck yeah! I can't sing for damn. Even my husband tells me to stop.

[@judydempsey3957]

I love playing this while I drink a glass of Baileys( well maybe 2 glasses). I also blast the volume up. It’s amazing how much house work gets done. Not really, my husband does the house work.....one of my favorite songs from them. Hope you stay on the PTX train. Also, Their new album comes out tomorrow.....great reaction my friend.....Judy D.

[@RosheenQuynh]

Avi's is so gooood

[@kaseycurtis468]

It’s funny when you were talking about how they could be in a cigar lounge etc I instantly thought of their cover of ‘Havana’, it has such a chilled laid back vibe, if you haven’t reacted to that yet I HIGHLY suggest it 😁 This is one of my favourites, everything about it is amazing and it’s absolutely better than the original which is highly enhanced and Kiiara can’t do the chorus live without looping. This video really shows off how in tune with each other they are and it’s mind blowing 🤩

[@TheFallOutPilots]

I'm sure you already know that they covered Twenty One Pilots' 'Ride'. Can't wait for you to react on that one 😉

[@traktician]

[@robmarar]

Your reactions are always fun, funny, and bang on point especially when it comes to PTX. You need to react to my favorite member, Kevin KO Olusola, that man is a beast! He speaks 5 languages, one of them fluent in Chinese Mandarin. He's Classically trained from the age of 5 in Piano, Sax and Cello. He preformed as a soloist at Carnegie Hall twice, 1st time with the Sax, 17yrs old and 2nd time on the Cello 18yrs old. He was accepted into Yale at 17 and was finished Pre-Med by the time he joined PTX in 2011 at the age of 21. He is a musical and academic prodigy!! Here are some of the live studio songs he creates in his home studio, singing, playing and using a loop machine, producing the entire song instantly on his own. Here's the link to Kevin's cover of "Down" by Marian Hill kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3jNmGRvaM1nhc0 And my other fav is Kevin's remake of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnOpnZuCerpqq7c You will blow your mind watching these. trust me and enjoy. I know I'll enjoy seeing you react to them. Thank You & Peace.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

I love the sound of Mitch's voice in this song. I think I heard another reactor/musician call it a vocal chop? Anyway, it's heavenly. And how the 3 do that part near the end, aaaahhhh, it's just so insane! Also, I'm thinking the only way any of us could have friends like this is to have these 5 amazing people (well, 6 if you count Matt and Avi) sitting in your living room!! No one else comes close!

Fil - 2022 resolution start your own new friend group similar to one these folks attended years ago - see Pentaonix, Scott Hoying or Avi Kaplan "Spaulding Session" videos :) Seriously, get your purple drink and visit kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIumpGylmNeSp68 "Birthed in a humble apartment in West Hollywood, The Spaulding Sessions was originally created as a casual gathering of friends who sang for each other in an evening of music. Six months later, this group of musicians continue to play their monthly house concerts as well as public shows they book themselves which draw upwards of 75 people. What's truly impressive, however, is that Spaulding performers come from all walks of life. Some are attending school around LA, some have full-time non-performing jobs in the industry, and others are working musicians who take time out of their recording sessions, gigs, and tours to drop by a Spaulding Session. No matter what size the room, how famous the venue, the charm of Spaulding Sessions remains the same - that low-key atmosphere first shared amongst friends, huddled in a community to support each other's art."

Kirstie seems like a red wine aficionado, though she might start stealing Scott’s vodka. Kevin strikes me as someone who’d sip a glass of bourbon or whiskey all night. Avi definitely drinks craft beer from the local microbrewery.
