This was their first Grammy win. Basically all you need to do to find a good song is bring up a Playlist, close your eyes and point. Can't go wrong. They just got nominated for Grammy number 4! My new favorite is New Rules x Are You That Somebody. The bass and beatboxing is unreal. The harmonizing is amazing too. It's with their "new" from 2017 bass. He is the only change to the group.

Pentatonix fan here. I enjoyed your reaction. Sorry you got blocked, their label / VEVO is really aggressive about it. But in most cases it is the video that triggers it, so most reactors alter the video by increasing the transparency, reducing the display size and / or overlaying a graphic or text. Fans are used to it. Or you can react to audio-only, or fan-created lyric videos. And there are an increasing number of live videos recorded by fans at concerts or from television and streamed performances. Looking forward to more Pentatonix !

Copyright is tough on their videos but fading, overlays and pauses help a lot. We don't mind that, we can watch on their channel for an unadulterated view, it's your reaction to their incredible talent we want to see. Subbing and hitting the bell for more PTX!

This was my first PTX as well! The editing was a company called FifGen, who did a lot of their early work. They were supposed to have done the shoot and recording in a pro studio, but the rented studio fell through, hence the famous story that "it took only $400 dollars and was shot/recorded in a closet and a kitchen." The Grammy that they won for this was specifically for vocal arrangement. Only the Trio (Scott Hoying - baritone with white hair here, Kirstin Maldonado - mezzo soprano with blue hair, Mitch Grassi - high tenor with short hair and black-and-white sweater) are from Arlington: they grew up together, participating in youth and community theater and choirs and eventually ending up in the same arts-oriented high school. The bass, Avi Kaplan (from central CA) and beatboxer, Kevin Olusola (also sings tenor and plays cello, from Kentucky) were recruited when the other three wanted to compete in The Sing-Off competition show.

Yes this is old, I believe from 2013. Avi, the bass, did struggle with the contacts. Kevin, the beat boxer, couldn't wear them at all. Avi Kaplan left the band in 2017 and now has a solo career. You should check out his music. It's 95% original and very different from PTX, more Americana/folk. Change on the Rise was his first release in 2019 and a great place to start. Cheers!

@martinhafner2201 10 ай бұрын

This song succeeded really well and pretty much saved them from their early financial freefall. This was at a time when acappella groups hadn't been particularly successful commercially and it generally wasn't thought to be possible. Their record company thought the same and cashed out their contract. So they were back on the couch working out songs and came up with this on a shoe string budget.

@perrystevenson6364 10 ай бұрын

Pentatonix History…..composed by Alan Freeman They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that. The founding members are:- Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead); Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”. Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease); Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese). Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on KZbin, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings. Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma. While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his KZbin videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing". Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours! They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on KZbin), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building. But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an acappella group could sell records. Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on KZbin, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live. Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers. But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label. They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys. Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry. Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group. If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently. After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre. Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/ Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. They also got a star on Hollywood walk of fame. Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET! They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only acapella group with a star! Things you need to know because if you get these wrong “Pentaholics” will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!! 1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to. 2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album. 3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.

Yes, the contacts were definitely a problem for Avi. Kevin couldn't tolerate them at all, hence the visor. Pentatonix is the only a cappella band to have ever won a Grammy, except they've actually won THREE Grammys; this was their first. (They're also the only a cappella band with a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.) The Grammy was for Best Arrangement Instrumental Or A Cappella, a category that did not previously exist. The Recording Academy changed "Best Instrumental Arrangement" to add "A Cappella,," just so they could nominate "Daft Punk Medley."

Great reaction. If you have any questions about their talent check it out live. In videos They do some voice cleaning up and can push the solo voice forward a little, but they do little post production and they can it perform live. The record skip was them. Hollywood Bowl 2022 is one live. They can do almost every genre.
