Put "First time reacting to Pentatonix" in your title and you'll get a few more thousand views. People (me included) love when someone gets introduced to them for the first time. : )

[@marcgarrett4401]

Sadly people are putting this in every reaction, as in first time listening to PTX, such and such song.

[@piopico570]

Welcome to PTX. You should have seen the look in your eyes! Your face lit up and never stopped until the end. Please do more PTX. They have tons of stuff on KZbin and I hope you do post all your reactions. “Hallelujah” and “Imagine” would be great to do next. Subbed!

[@lydiavanevera8494]

Yes, Hallelujah is very similar to this cover and Imagine is my favorite!

Congratulations! You found Ptx. They are amazing . And yes hallelujah and bohemian rhapsody would be great to review.

LOVE your introduction to PTX !!!

I really wanted to thank all of you for such the huge response! I didn't think this would rise up in views very quickly. I also want to thank everyone for subscribing to me! Really means a lot. Honestly, my dad suggested that I should react to Pentatonix for the whole entire The Sound of Silence Reaction mix. Since you guys have been asking, I will react to another Pentatonix video this week. I won't say which video, but expect it to be next in line. Again, thank you all for helping me on this wonderful journey!

Pentatonix is the most successful acapella group in history. Scott Hoying (tall blonde baritone); Mitch Grassi (shorter guy with dark hair {at least for this video}; counter-tenor with a crystal-clear, higher male voice); and Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo-soprano) were childhood friends from Arlington, TX. They sang in various choirs through the years. They decided they wanted to compete on the singing talent show, “The Sing-Off” (for acapella groups), which aired on NBC. They recruited Avi Kaplan (their original bass) and Kevin Olusola they found on KZbin-where he demonstrated his amazing skill as a beat boxer. (He also is a master cellist; has a degree in pre-med studies from Yale, and speaks fluent Chinese)-Kevin abandoned his pursuit of medical school to join the group. Scott came up with the band name “Pentatonix”, since there are five in the group. They met the day before the competition began, and won it in November 2011. One of the prizes was a recording contract. They all moved to LA, and lost that contract. The record company said acapella “wouldn’t sell”. So Pentatonix started making KZbin videos. One of their first, “Daft Punk Medley”, had a video that cost $400, and was filmed in a kitchen closet. They won their first Grammy for the arrangement of that. They got a new recording contact. Fast forward: they now have THREE Grammys: “Daft Punk” (arrangement); “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” (arrangement); and “Jolene” which they did with the incomparable original artist and songwriter Dolly Parton (for vocal performance). Their albums sell millions of copies; their KZbin channel has had 5.5 BILLION views; and their most popular cover and video, “Hallelujah”, has had 500 million+ views. Their tours are regularly sold out. (I’ve seen them twice in concert). Their routine and schedule is INSANE-arranging; rehearsing; recording; and touring take up enormous amounts of time and energy-they not only have to learn the song and the harmonies, but all the sound effects as well. Avi Kaplan was the bass, and he left the group at the end of 2017-his mom was ill and he needed to stay closer to home. The parting was amicable; and he helped them find their current bass, Matt Sallee (who’s in this video, in the white jacket). If you delve back into the PTX rabbit hole, you’ll find many videos where Avi sang bass. (And Mitch Lost weight and changed his hair-and Kirstie has changed her hair as well!) Matt has officially been with PTX since early 2018. Not bad for a group that wasn’t going to make it! Mitch has said he was bullied for having a high voice. I think the fact he’s now a millionaire has hopefully lessened some of that sting! Be aware. We Pentaholics are a loyal bunch. We defend all things PTX, and most of us have followed them since the beginning. When Matt joined PTX, he said it was a “dream” of his to join PTX-so Scott has said Matt is proof dreams can and do come true!!

[@renee176]

Wow, thank you for the information. I knew some, but I did not know all that was PTX. I appreciate you spilling the beans, so to speak, I love this group!

[@wren9463]

if you want to another comparison reaction....try bohemian rhapsody...by queen and pentatonix....i get it..queen and freddie mercury are rock legends...pentatonix did their cover to it as a tribute to the late freddie mercury....and it may be the finest cover of bohemian rhapsody ever done...plus all instruments are done by their own voices.

just they have Avi in this cover who was later replaced by Matt, so don't be surprised by that.

[@super_siri]

And a very special guest instrument, that is completely unexpected, and I'm trying really hard not to give it away!!! And it makes the ENTIRE FREAKING SONG!!

[@mecfstraveler]

Your facial expressions when listening to Pentatonix's cover of one of my all-time favorites was priceless! 😂 that's probably what I look like as well when I first heard it. The lyrics in this song have always come across as deeper than the surface for me. And the visual references created by the words make me feel like there's something profound here. I just always felt like there was a message in these lyrics that was intended by the original artist to wake people up to something. Even though I'm a Pentatonix fanatic I was nervous to listen to their cover because I loved the original and I loved Disturbed's version. I was afraid I was going to hate what they came up with because it has been done right the first time and then improved on by Disturbed! I was pleasantly wowed by Pentatonix's version when I finally got the nerve to listen. I don't know why but I always get chills in one part of their cover. I need to listen and HEAR what's going on to see if it's chills being created with sound, or if it's the visual emoting Matt is displaying so strongly during that part in his solo? I really enjoyed your reaction and I like that you I watched all three of them. I am going to go check out the one I just saw you dropped a little bit ago in case it's the one you mentioned you might do with Pentatonix alone. Thank you so much for reacting! I subscribed. Have a really, really good day or night depending on where you're at!

[@professionalvampire1]

I heard someone (wish I remembered who so I could give credit where it is due, but alas) describe the 3 versions of The Sound of Silence as follows: The Simon and Garfunkel version is a warning. The Disturbed version is rage because the warning was ignored. The Pentatonix version is sadness that the warning was ignored, but also hope that one day it will be heeded.

[@davidharman8263]

That would have been me. Wish I could remember which reactor I commented on. Been looking for it for ages. My original comment was 'an analogy' (as proof that it was me). People keep misquoting it, but hey, I didn't copyright it. In a way, it's nice the comment hit home with so many people.

[@davidharman8263]

Found it. It's on 'ReactionsWithSuz'. Shame she's not doing reactions at the moment.

[@steel5791]

To both of you: I can only wish that it was me who had so elegantly - and perfectly - placed the three versions. Simon and Garfunkel bring back so many GREAT memories and Disturbed might be a little heavy, but there's no denying the talent he has. But Pentatonix left me as gape jawed as everyone else. I still cannot get by a night without listening to a 'first reaction' or two, but each time it is this version that will be the last thing I hear at night.

[@parrottm76262]

Pentatonix just slays everything they do, covers, original productions/songs, doesn't matter. Check out Shallow by Pentatonix. It is SO good.

[@louellamoyer5578]

Yes they do this so well and Lady Gaga did this song....Kirstin slays this song! Her and Scott both do wonders!

[@jenniferyoung8551]

Normal reaction...jaw drop, can't speak, chills, mind blown, yeah, PTX does it with every song they cover! They have an amazing ability to take a song, make it their own, and almost 100% sounds better than the original!

[@donny1960]

Thanks for the great reaction. You have stumbled upon one of the best vocal groups of all time in discovering Pentatonix. If you delve into their story it is amazing. The 3 main singers all grew up together in Texas. They formed the band to compete in an NBC talent show called "The Sing Off" in 2011. They won and after a couple of bumps in the road, became Grammy (3) winning artists and have sold millions of records. All the members have strong vocals. But they are the finest example of the phrase "More than the sum of it's parts". Together, as you witnessed, they SOAR. I hope you react to their other performances. They have almost 10 years worth of material. Any and all performances are amazing.

[@UncleJon]

Thank you for checking it out!

[@mamajenkins1981]

You just witnessed the magic of Pentatonix and there are more to come. I saw another commenter say to do a Queen/Pentatonix double feature of Bohemian Rhapsody. Not as a comparison, but just to see how Pentatonix honored Queen with their a capella version. It is mind-blowing.

[@UncleJon]

I’ve been getting a lot of great replies. It would be interesting to do both Queen and Pentatonix.

Thank you! And I definitely will. He was mostly excited to see the video himself.

[@martycullison4095]

Hello Uncle Jon: First, I watched both this reaction and Hallelujah last night, but did not grab my keyboard so sending this now. Your reaction is typical of a first time viewer. Loved watching you it was awesome. At one point I said to myself, if there is a fly in his house he will swallow it when you were so stuned by them. Wait till you get to Bohemian Rhapsody. I would like to recommend that you to all 14of the sing off performances pretty early on, that way you will get a true understanding of how 5 college students (3 of them only 19) though caution to the wind and went for it. Terrified and excited all at once. You can truly appreciate where they are now if you see where they came from. And, if you have not heard how Sony screwed them over in the beginning, I am sure someone can fill you in on that. After you get through those, you have an AMAZING catalog to listen to, also the following Superfruit (Mitch and Scott - Must Listen song GUY.EXE and RISE, then Kevin (KOVER must listen to True Colors and Avi Kaplan (Must Listen too Change on the RIse) and Kristin has her seperate chanell slso (Must Listen too - A duet covering Disney Princess). PTX has done Imagine with a very important message in the song. Grab Tissues. This rabbit hole runs deep, but we Pentaholics will keep you safe and heading in the right directions. There is no known cure for the disease known as Pentaholic's, but who really wants one?

[@pat_in_va8605]

What you have to do is remember the context of the time when these various versions were made. Paul Simon is the author of this piece of music history and he was in the genre of Folk music back in the sixties. It is a protest song, a warning of the dangers of people tuning out to the world and their fellow human beings. A warning of what happens when people do not engage. David Draimon's/Disturbed's cover of this is out of anger that the warning laid out by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966 has been ignored. It is a song of frustration and anguish and a call for people to shape up. I feel like Pentatonix's cover is more of an homage to Disturbed's rendition and sort of, "Hey folks, y'all need to speak up, and you need to hear each other." IMHO

[@vickyrobertson3166]

[@rebeccafrost7731]

Disturbed's version had things that Pentatonix's version didn't. I love Pentatonix, I'm a true Pentaholic, but I can certainly see where people prefer the Disturbed version, too. They, Disturbed, had an emotionality that Pentatonix lost. Pentatonix had a technically correctness that Disturbed lost. Both of them are truly great versions of the song, and you can't really go wrong with either of them. If you're looking for more classic songs to react to from Pentatonix you can always check out "Imagine" from John Lennon or Bohemian Rapsody* by Queen, both of which Pentatonix covered VERY well. They do things in Bohemian that are absolutely amazing for an acapella group. I will warn you, though, that "Imagine" is a bit emotional. Fun reaction. Thank you for doing this.

[@Mimi-un5tr]

You found the way to get your views, likes and subscribes to swell! Pentaholics love watching people become one of us! If you want a thorough grounding in the group, I’d recommend reacting to their Sing-off performances. It shows how they grow as a group into the lovelies that they are now - but the low voiced gentleman who sang third only joined the group in the last three years. The original bass is the lovely Avi Kaplan. We all miss him, but also appreciate Matt’s talents as well. I also highly recommend watching some of the beatboxer (Kevin Olusola)’s solo videos. His cover of Marion Hill’s down is amazing.

Ditto, been watching it over and over, when I see his reaction it makes me beam

[@super_siri]

Your face through the entire Pentatonix version is AMAZING!!!

[@nattycat899]

I think this is one of my favorite Pentatonix reactions ever! 💜

[@Ang102883]

So far you are one of my favorite reactions to Pentatonix covering this song! Your mouth was open THE ENTIRE TIME 😂 and the dancing and smiling at the end! Definitely one of the best!

[@janiesmithling4518]

I absolutely loved your reaction. When they all came out and you so innocently said "a capella?" I was thinking " bless him Father for he's about to be blown away." And your smile contined to grow as each one sang their part- then Iwas thinking - is he breathing?

[@TennesseeTriker]

This appears to be a true/real first time reaction. Often this isn’t the case. Great job. I really like that you did three groups doing the same song. Very good

I love watching the first reaction to PTX! It's always a fun time 😝 Lots of great things to hear from them, and I can't wait to see what you think of them! Welcome to the pentaholics! But warning.... It's a very easy thing to go down the rabbit hole of PTX and not come out for hours.... 🤣

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

I couldn't tell from the title if it was his first time watching Pentatonix, but when he wasn't sure how to pronounce it and was surprised they were a cappella, I knew he was going to be blown away. Let me rephrase that last sentence. We ALL knew.

[@LB-rc2dq]

Lots of things u can check from Pentatonix 👌🏽😊

[@charlesheld3725]

Like the Disturbed version. Luv the PTX version. But the original is the only one that's a true classic.

[@skycoburn3872]

Eeeeek Love this song, so anxious to see your reaction. Onto the video

[@lyndellrobinson3611]

I think my mom or one of my aunts used to play the original when I was little - it was already over a decade old by the time I was coming up, but I remember it fondly. The joy on your face when you reacted to PTX made my heart smile. Thank you for making my night! New sub!

[@lynn2574]

That was the best PTX reaction I’ve ever seen. Your ‘Mitch face’ lasted the entire song! ❤️

[@marcelam8965]

You were so not ready for this!! 😂😂 I really enjoyed your reaction (which was mostly 😱 all the time) I'm going to check your other reactions for sure

[@fredhill9385]

I watch this video over and over again. I just love his reaction!

[@amandasamson4513]

OMG your face, "Accapella?" love your pure Joy here

[@elliemay4350]

His reaction the entire video was just like: 👁️ 👁️ 👄 I loved watching this!

[@joycepineda8987]

Thanks for sharing your reaction. Welcome to the Pentaholic world!

[@denisehaukkala9742]

This is still one of my top first time ever reacting videos to any artist. Very nice set up. But then the sheer mouth dropping shock an bouncing in the seat near the end was so sincere a response

[@joshuahowell4929]

Good comparison video would be Queens bohemian rhapsody and Pentatonix’s version or imagine dragons radioactive and Pentatonix’s version.

[@Spaceydoodle]

yes, please react to more PTX! :)

[@shortybarnesyanik]

Hi SpaceyDoodle!!

[@emilyloyd7655]

If you do more PTX reactions, Pentaholics will come flocking.

[@UncleJon]

I wholeheartedly agree with you!

[@JamieFredrickson]

Your reaction to Pentatonix, your face, lol, that was great.

[@pamelalee1508]

Hahaha... I cruise reactions...primarily to folks new to Pentatonix... So glad you've caught on to them...absolutely the best a Capella group ever..hands down...

[@maryschumaker42]

Uncle John Pentatonix has been around for awhile and I have loved them first for the first song they ever did no music they make everything by hand and feet and sounds totally acapella approved 500% better than anyone else that has performed that song
