"This Was Pure Fire!" Reacting to Pentatonix - Can't Hold Us 🎤

[@ShinyElfriend]

For more Mitch rap, you can listen to their cover of "Problem," and the "Popspring 2016" video version of their original song "Can't Sleep Love." Also, someone else mentioned the Superfruit rap examples that are just Mitch and Scott doing their Mitch and Scott thing.

[@jeanelliott3395]

Yes! Superfruit with Hip Hop goes Broadway 1 & 2!

[@judydechant9205]

Feeling Myself is a good Mitch rap song. It is by SuperFruit ( Mitch and Scott )

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendations. We will have to check it out ☺️

[@allybandy3047]

The different backgrounds are representative of themselves: Scott - cool kid Mitch - nerd Kirstin - Broadway Avi - Nature lover Kevin - church goer

[@reginairvine3919]

Came to say this but you said it better

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Love that Ally! Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@HH-yo2bs]

Mitch and Scott had a side channel called Superfruit. You'd really enjoy their cover of Feelin' Myself (Nicky Minaj + Beyonce)! Mitch does a mean Nicky!! Their 'Hip-Hop goes Broadwoay' (2 parts to that) should also be right up your alley! Also, if you enjoy fast-paced songs, I recommend PTX's 90s Dance Medley and their original song 'Sing'.

[@stacyl7783]

I love Hip Hop Goes Broadway!

[@bonnieflynn4798]

These are so fun. And stay for the bloopers

[@Freakiehippy30]

yes pleeeease these lol. especially Feelin Myself

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing that info with us. Didnt know that ☺️

[@AmandaSmith-zr8mn]

💯 please go down the Superfruit rabbit hole

[@samedmundson6470]

Scott, Mitch and Kirstie are such babies in this video! Mitch still had his cheeks. The Daft Punk Medley shows just how young they were.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha yeah fully agree 😊

[@bonnieflynn4798]

They are in a church because Kevin is religious, dressed for hiking as Avi loves the woods , Mitch s group is dressed like nerds , Kirsties group in club clothes , and Scott’s group as all American kids . As in everyone welcome

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing Bonnie ☺️

[@vickiandrews4087]

I had to jump over here, because I knew you guys would LOVE this one and I don't mind the "nattering." The story goes that the different scenery and wardrobe represents the person who is at the forefront. Kevin has a deep connection with his church, Kirstie was kind of a "goth" chic in her youth (and she did appear on Broadway), Scott is kind of a "skater boy", Mitch kind of nerdy and Avi is the "nature boy" who grew up loving the outdoors. To me, it's one of their most fun videos!! Their skill is what shows in this one!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha this was defintely a fun one Vicki! Good spot aswell, thank you for sharing ☺️

[@charlottevan_8]

Actually, this entire video was shot in one location - Mount St. Mary's University in the mountains near Los Angeles. It's the same location where, the year following this video, Avi, along with PTX producer/arranger Ben Bram, and their friend, composer/arranger Rob Dietz founded the A Cappella Academy, an annual 10-day intensive vocal music camp for 12 to 18-year-olds from around the world where they have classes in vocals, performance, theory, and specialties like beatboxing and bass singing (which Avi has taught almost every year since its 2014 founding). Anyway, here's a behind-the-scenes video by the small production company FifGen Films (which filmed and edited several PTX videos like "Daft Punk Medley", "Radioactive", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" - two of which won PTX Grammy's). kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmGzZnyii6xmeLM

[@charlottevan_8]

Speaking of Avi teaching bass singing at A Cappella Academy, here's a video short of him and his 2023 bass class doing a brief cover of "Hoist the Colors". As you listen, remember that these young men are all 18 and under. kzbin.infobRcq_8DEZyc

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing Charlotte. Thank you for sharing the information 😊

[@bethphillips9693]

Scott did a solo cover of a song called "I Should tell Yo Momma On Ya" - it's amazing - and there is an original called "Sing" that is VERY upbeat.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check them put ☺️

[@karehelene]

If you like the faster try their covers of Blinding Lights and Come Along. Also, there is more rap in their cover of Problem (Ariana Grande).

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@xbubblehead]

When someone says Kevin has a lower voice, I think they need to hear more of Pentatonix.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will be ☺️

[@davephillips7209]

This one is just so hype, love it! Their EDM original "Love Again" is great (and Kevin goes crazy with the sounds) UPGRADE!!!!!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

It was defintely amazing ☺️

[@monykasaso]

I love this upgrade!! Also, Thrift Shop, I never heard rapping in harmony till PTX.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Sounds amazing!

[@terrilabeth]

This is one of my favorites and it is absolute 🔥!!! Scott and Mitch can Rap and do a wonderful job. That bass by Avi and KO kills it on percussion. And Kirsten with her parts and harmony blends. This has it all. Time for Scott and Mitch and their channel called Superfruit!!! I mean ASAP! Thanks! 🙏

[@catherinelopresti7121]

YESSSSS!!! Superfruit please!!! Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2!

[@schuhschrank947]

Kirstin

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@heatherjames7063]

YES! Superfruit is a whole different vibe all together a vibe that is full of fantastic talent,funny, entertaining and sometimes a little naughty..... LOL ❤

[@kerrygardner5302]

Great reaction guys. Think you would like new rules/are you that somebody Matt Nd Kevin are sick in that one

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check that one out ☺️

[@debrawalkermeyer9109]

❤ Great reaction to a great song. PTX is so diverse, they have something for everyone. I like Problem, Perfect, Thrift Shop, Gangnam Style, And originals like Sing and Love Again. Their catalog is deep and all their songs are wonderful. Also New Rules x Are You That Somebody and Butter X Dynamite.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats amazing Debra. Thank you for sharing

[@tammyhill3798]

I agree with others about all the rap ones. My personal favorites are SUPERFRUIT Feeling myself & Popspring 2016…3 originals and Evolution of Michael Jackson. Really a MUST watch. I am so enjoying you guys. You definitely brighten my day with your silly humor. Keep up the good work. 🤗💋🥰

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We appreciate you Tammy for your support you have shown us and your kind words ☺️

[@danielryan4050]

I love the way that they reprise their earlier video's with the outfits and locations for this song. I see Little Drummer Boy, Royals, Starship and a couple of others there. Just gives a sense of continuity with them all.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Yeah they did really well with this track ☺️

[@kristipierce4735]

This one never gets old!! For more Mitch and others rapping: Problem, ButterxDynamite, Superfruit doing Feeling Myself and Popspring 2016. I also recommend 90’s Dance Medley, Love Again and Sing for upbeat ones!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out ☺️

[@dieteroffermann3880]

The problem of PTX covers is, you don´t wanna hear the original anymore!😂

[@highlyreactivereactions]

🤣🤣 Well said

[@wbw910]

To get a little Kevin rap you can watch their Sing. It is also upbeat and features their fans.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation

[@bethphillips9693]

There is also a behind the scenes video of this that shows the making of it - the behind the scenes videos are all worth watching.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out ☺️

[@My2ndnephew]

Try reacting to 'SING', a PTX original. Very upbeat.

[@ImaBeliever]

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@skippykeri]

You should listen to superfruit doing feeling myself. I’s Mitch and Scott. Also their hip hop goes broadway

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@kathycarias1271]

Scott has a deeper voice than Kevin. Kevin is a tenor.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing ☺️

[@AliciaMoore-Morada]

Want more Avi? Check out PTX's Run to You, Say Something, Light in the Hallway (live is the only version), and for his solo stuff, I'd start with Quarter Past Four as that is his original song he wrote after deciding to split from them but was still finishing up their tour. After that, Change on the Rise will knock your socks off! (He does all the vocal parts plus most of the percussion.)

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for your recommendation Alicia 😊

[@snowpuppies1]

If you like upbeat, I think you’d really like their original, “Sing”. It’s just happy. 😃

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out

[@robear5440]

You like upbeat then check out SING and see how many celebs you can recognize

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@robin8773]

if you love upbeat cheek out their early original 'sing'. they made it with fans and it is so upbeat and fun.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@snowyowl611]

#PTX This is one of my favorites by Pentatonix. It's fun upbeat and we all get to see Avi with his hip motions. Great reaction 😂❤❤❤

[@highlyreactivereactions]

😂 Love it! Thank you for sharing

[@michellebarry1555]

You should check out their cover of Thrift Shop (another Macklemore /Ryan Lewis song). It was done when PTX was really young but it’s very good!

[@ShinyElfriend]

If you look up "Pentatonix airport," they do Thriftshop into the PA microphone of one of the gate attendants. It's obviously not the best recording but it's really fun.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you foe the recommendation Michelle ☺️

[@RobertBrown-nn8uu]

From across "The Pond", I am so happy coming across you two and your reactions to PTX! It is very obvious to me, you two really make your discovery of this amazing group slot of fun! You should check out their " behind the scenes", or the recent recording of the behind the scenes for their album, "Evergreen" Having fun, keep it up!!!

[@denisehaukkala9742]

For each shooting scene shown, the ptx member in the center is showing their style or personality in fashion and all the other members blend around that.

[@heatherjames7063]

Actually each background is supposed to represent the person who is singing lead or who is being focused at that particular moment. Basically it represents each one's personality ❤️

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thats awesome Heather. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@Badger77722]

For another rap video, check out Thrift Shop (another Macklemore and Ryan Lewis cover) - it's a Babytonix video, with them all sitting on a couch the way they did when they were starting out putting out videos on KZbin. But make sure you stay for the outro - Kirstie has a surprise for you! There's a BTS video of the making of this video - I believe all of the locations were on a single college campus, but don't hold me to that.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing Badger 😊

[@hapymom13]

Each group has their own style/background to lead. If you look in the wall of sound screen grabs you will see who leads what style/background. Its just what you said that its for everyone and everyone can just be themselves

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing that one ☺️

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

There is a behind the scenes video that goes with this 1. You get to see where they are filming all of this. PTX does occasionally do behind the scenes video so you might want to check 1st. 1st end of the video since early about it's 3 minutes long., the prayer, prayer for this world all have behind the scenes. Those are The ones I remember off the top of my head. Yes you must still check out Superfruit

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the advice 😊

[@dwfarr]

Recommend their cover of I Just Called To Say I Love You.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@Gwennedd]

You're right about at least one of the settings for all the different leads. One of them, with Avi as lead, is the hillside where they did Little Drummer Boy. The one with Scott in lead maybe the place they filmed Valentine, but I'm not sure on that.The church with Kevin as lead might be the same place they filmed O Come All Ye Faithful, but again, not sure. The other scenes I don't think are backgrounds for other vids. Anyhoo...your enjoyment of this was obvious. More vids with PTX rapping: Problem, Sing, Superfruit's Empire medley. Superfruit is a side project that Mitch and Scott ran for about 6 years. They did chats, challenges, and lots of fun with friends.... and songs!! There was eventually a couple of albums out : Future Friends l & ll. The songs, chats and fun stuff were awesome and very varied. It's totally worth exploring that channel!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha defintely an interesting theory. Thank you for sharing and the recommendation ☺️

[@tammyree6200]

Check out their cover of Meghan Trainor's "No". Mitch is full of sass!! 😊

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha thank you for the recommendation

[@reborndaughter445]

Really great sound guys! You're nailing it. Many thanks!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️

[@elizabethtucker6026]

They killed this! Fantastic reaction. Also rec pentatonix new rules x are you that somebody cover and the Superfruit covers (mitch and scott) of feelin myself and their empire medley.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out. Thank you 😊

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

To answer your question... I'm not sure, but it's possible. Just understand, this particular video was early in their career. It's quite possible that they revisited some of these locations for future videos.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Think it's the special about them places 😊

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

#PTX One of my favorites by them!!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

This was defintely a really fun one ☺️

[@chall3018]

This is one of my favorites!! You need to react to their Pop Spring 2016 video!! It has 3 originals (Mitch raps in one) plus the Evolution of Michael Jackson!! It is awesome!!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@JanSkaggs]

Great reaction for a very fun song. They show how much they love singing. I bet their music and drama teachers hated when they graduated. Gotta give some credit to their school teachers, not just all of the other vocal lessons. They did learn about singing in school too. Sadly so many schools in America have taken a lot of the arts out of the curriculum. Guess they just can’t stand for kids to have fun. 🥴

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Very well said Jan. I always think its important to kids to have some creativity in their talents ☺️

[@MelaniePoparad]

This is a song I use for a morning alarm. It helps get my tired ass moving. Haha

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha defintely what you need to get that motivation 🤣

[@MelaniePoparad]

@@highlyreactivereactions I have insomnia and mornings are the devil for me… but this song gets me up and alleviates my terrible morning mood by singing and dancing! Haha

[@dawnpatterson8708]

Hey guys, sorry I have been away. This was a great one to come back to. I knew you would really like it and it was nice to see you both having fun. ❤🤗❤ #Pentatonix #PTX #highlyreactivereactions

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Hey Dawn ☺️ Never apologise, we hope you are keeping well and Happy New Year. This track was certainly amazing

[@hapymom13]

YAS! i told you! This is my hype the day jam

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Haha defintely feel hyped with this one ☺️

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

PTX🔥🤘

[@highlyreactivereactions]

💯

[@InkWellideas]

#PTX fan forever

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Defintely 😊

[@thechomiji]

Scott can double on bass when Avi - or nowadays, Matt - have a solo. He's got like a 5-octave range or something ridiculous like that. Also see their cover of Ariana Grande's Problem, and then Mitch and Scott as Superfruit (their side project, 2012-2017) covering Feeling Myself by Nicki Minaj (feat. Beyoncé).

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Absoutley talented artists and they all certainly hold their merit 😊

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Everyone in the group can rap to at least a usuable level. (Except for Avi, I'm pretty sure. All current members can rap a few lines at least.)

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for sharing

[@jimodell99]

Since you like upbeat, react to their original called 'Sing'.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check that one out

[@heidivanbrabant830]

maybe the next one could be imagine

[@celiachristman104]

There is a behind the scenes video for this. Check it out.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have a ganders

[@robinmcdaniel5881]

Avi says he can't rap 😂

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Probably just not his style lol

[@jeffreywilliams1767]

You have to Review "Feeling Myself" Superfruit.

[@anit4525]

Please watch the sing it's one they wrote brilliant if you like fast tracks.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

We will have to check it out ☺️

[@larryross9492]

Try their original Sing. Not rap (except KO) but great upbeat fun.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation Larry

[@RussellJones-e9c]

Try "Problem" to hear Mitch rapping - better than the original.

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️

[@hcroussette]

Funny you were expecting Avi or Kevin to rap because they have a lower voice. I wouldn't think that having a lower voice means you can rap more easily. Avi is apparently the only member of the band who said he can't rap. And Kevin doesn't have a lower voice. He's a tenor while Scott is a baritone, so Kevin has a higher range than Scott. Scott covers the bass when Avi or Matt take the lead

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Just a personal preference for us I suppose but your absoutley right

[@My2ndnephew]

Hi Guys!

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Hey ☺️

[@blackenreed1425]

Where did you get the "autodelete daughter" function? Would it work with a wife/mother?

[@troyfraser2138]

Have you guys reacted to the song Hope by NF. If not check it out. It’s a masterpiece

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Abot of an old reaction Troy but here it is - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q16ncoWqjd1rptksi=G-LZKfN1qdylW_A5

[@sealaryn]

Um... KO is NOT low voiced... KO can rival mitch for hitting the rafters as you learn in your next video... KO is a Tenor all the way

[@highlyreactivereactions]

Crazy!

[@lindaosmon5224]

No they aren't the same locations.
