When Kirstin sings First Time In Forever she literally sounds like an actual Disney princess like she could be in a Disney movie. Her voice is so pure and clear and pretty. Somebody make that woman a princess

[@ThePepii19]

kisrtin and voctave reminds you of something?

[@paulinagord]

I love how Tara herself realizes that Mitch is a queen

[@itnc31]

Tara, it’s nice to see you laugh and enjoy this theatrical performance. It’s equally enjoyable to see professional artists have fun with their craft after investing so many years of hard work. You always review with a well-balanced perspective.

[@anessalyn1035]

Mitch hits that note a lot and if you saw their Defying Gravity video that is the wig that Scott wore. Please react to Pentatonix Ride. Mitch's high notes are just off the charts and then Kirstin and Scott blow me away when they hit it too.

[@chrisl5589]

Anessa Lyn yes!

[@yesthisisdavidkyle]

and now please react to *_Pop goes broadway by Superfruit ft. Shoshana_*

[@timhutchinson8485]

I hope you react to more SuperFruit videos, because this was hilarious! (technically impressive too, of course)

[@lauriep2018]

I truly believe it’s videos like this that make their fans feel like they can connect with them. Pentatonix is always on point but this reminds us that they’re down to earth and kind of silly like us. It’s how Pentaholics get hooked. 🤣

[@PtxXtp]

La la land medley by Superfruit is fun like this too. Also featuring Kirstin.

[@elainecourteau6231]

I love them so much. It is rare (actually I can’t remember any other artist) that a professional performer will bring you back to the simple joy of playing or play acting as most of us did as kids with recycled Halloween costumes and improvised props. Joy of singing 101.

[@lyricnoel7745]

Kirstie was actually on broadway

[@laissez_fa1re]

she was in ‘kinky boots’ as lauren :)

[@chrismartinez144]

I loved Scott's strained C#5 at the end! It might be strained and it might sound really heady but there's some chest voice in that - it's technically a mix, super-thinned-out chest voice. Who said baritones can't sing in the fifth octave lol. Thanks for reacting to the video! 👍

[@chrismartinez144]

​@Lordu, Oh, cool, I've previously wondered if Scott were actually a baritenor… I've seen you in various comment sections and I've noticed you really know your stuff so let me ask you: what is the primary reason he's a baritenor and not a baritone? I mean, you mention his tone, but I imagine that's one of the less important things, right? Does him being a baritenor and not a baritone more have to do with, like, his passaggios being a little bit higher and just, you know, his general ease singing high? Huh, I'm interested in learning why!

[@maisiesummers42]

When Superfruit released this video, it was at a time when Kirstin wasn't really doing much lead as part of Pentatonix; she was just supporting Mitch & Scott as leads. One of the delights of this was getting to hear her actually sing on her own, and hearing that she was amazing. It was after this that she began getting more lead vocals, and being invited to sing with Voctave and others.

[@forsytheyt5007]

[@mecfstraveler]

Scott and Mitch plus Kirstin make 3.....The Trio! These 3 nuts grew up best friends, choir nerds, community theatre participants, Scott and Mitch writing music and performing in talent shows and singing a lot of Gaga anyplace that would have them.. Superfruit was already formed in that friendship and the beginnings of Pentatonix was formed when you add Kirstin. Go to senior year for Scott and Kirstin and the three of them started arranging telephone by Lady Gaga and decided to perform it at their recital. It is an amazing arrangement and for three voices with no percussion or Bass it sounded fabulous! Kirstin's friend's brother filmed it on his phone and uploaded it to KZbin without them knowing about it. So the trio had been seen by Kevin and Avi before Scott contacted both of them and asked if they like to try out with them for The Sing-Off. And now we had Pentatonix! When I watched this Frozen medley I hadn't heard much from Pentatonix after The Sing-Off because I was KZbin illiterate. My daughter I had just started singing in the shower much to my delight! And she has a beautiful natural voice, and the song she was singing in the shower was Let It Go from Frozen . She just belted it ! So when she found this video on KZbin she came running into my room and said Mom you've got to hear this man sing Let It Go ! So I was like okay ! And I'm looking and it's part of Pentatonix ! I was like oh my gosh I haven't seen them since The Sing-Off ! And it was all over then I was a full pentaholic cuz I immediately began KZbin lessons from my 10 year old! LOL! Superfruit also did an episode called Defying Gravity. I bet you can guess what it's about! I would love it so much if you could react to that! I don't know what Mitch was doing different during this time frame from what he does now but it sounds different to me? Neither is worse or better it's just different sounding. Is there a difference in his technique back then from what he's doing now that you can hear? I'd love it if you watched Defying Gravity and commented on whatever it is he's doing. It's a good laugh too by the way!

[@KwJake]

can you please review Superfruit's "Imaginary Parties"!

[@ryanje8147]

I think it would be fun to spend a day with all 3 of them....what a fun group.

[@salie.xoxo.]

Please please please react to more of Kirstin. And also the la la land melody that the three of them did😂 Great reaction and u dying bc of the 'glove' was a mood

[@crystlgy]

Omg so excited to see you resurrecting this- Now I'm going on an old superfruit binge!!! But in truth, Kirsten has such perfect "Disney" vocals, and Mitch sounds like a stunning rendition of Idina Menzel here...

[@elizabethsantersero9597]

I loved your advice at the end especially! Thanks :-) I don't think you've done their "Defying Gravity" yet - if not make sure to check it out (Scott's got the wig)! For more of Superfruit being amazing while still having a sense of humor, the videos for their originals "Hurry Up" and "Sexy Ladies" and "Guy.exe" are all amazing and hilarious at the same time

[@Jellysfrickingstuff]

Yeeeessss finalmente!!!😤😤😁 Also just realized why “for the first time in forever” felt a little different when Kirstin sung it. This key was a bit lower in her register than it was for the original singer’s voice.

Loved your reaction to this video 😂 AND loved your always professional commentary! Singing is all about bringing joy to your heart whether on pitch or off and I feel this video is a perfect example of that! Thank you, again, Tara for your recognition and dedication to the joy of singing 💗

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

I find her insight really interesting as a long-time fan of PTX, just to hear what specifically she loves so much about their voices. And yes. Mitch is an insane vocalist. The stuff he can do leaves my jaw on the floor sometimes.

[@keithwillenson8314]

Their non-serious messing around is how they finally get to those amazing perfect performances. Trying stuff without getting judgy and I mean self-judgy, is a way to figure out what is possible. That's how Pentatonix comes up with their innovations. Good comments.

[@rlhcat7662]

So glad you got to see the goofy side of the Trio - or should I say the quartet, because "'The Wig" makes an appearance in a few of their musical remakes. Mitch met Kirstie and Scott when they were each 8 or 9 years old in various local musical theater productions in Arlington, TX. In junior high and high they sang together in choirs and in high school they performed as a trio. So they have been singing, and goofing around, for many years.

[@randomperson1943]

Can we bring back that level of production tho? 🤣

[@Inisiarev]

Such a great example of what making music is about: having fun. It’s so nice to see you laugh out loud. Thank you for making this fun video for us to enjoy.

[@nobutheyonyou7990]

[@michellemelville8979]

It's such a fun light hearted clip. One of my favourites. Thanks for reviewing it.

[@lynn2574]

When you are so ridiculously talented that you can get a little drunk with friends and nail this medley 😳😁

[@nejstar7721]

Loved this reaction. Yes, it's refreshing to see professional singers let go and be their goofy selves but I think people also needed to see your reaction to it. People who are listening to singers also need to sit back and realise that singing isn't just about perfect pitch and perfect technique - it's about the joy of singing. Seeing a vocal coach who can hear every imperfection just enjoying it for what it was intended to be was wonderful. Out of all the Pentatonix members I find myself most drawn to Mitch. To me, Mitch is a vocal chameleon who can change his style to suit the setting/song. His overall style has changed over the years as he explored what his signature sound would be but that doesn't mean that he can't still sing other styles. I love revisiting the different Mitch eras as it reminds me just how vocally flexible he is. I would also like to see you react to Superfruit's 'Defying Gravity'' along with Pentatonix 'What is This Feeling' from the Wicked 15th anniversary special so you can see him as both Elphaba and Glinda! Other's have requested Pentatonix 'Gold' which is incredible from all members but I'd like to add 'Dancing on my Own' which is after Avi left but before Matt, with Kevin on Cello covering for the bass part - it is beautiful and very moving.

[@sabrinagaldinozaidanalhasn1788]

Kirstin,Mitch,and Scott grew up together and preformed together since they were in school.Avi and Kevin joined last minute for a show that they needed five members for. And they won which says a lot about how they blend together so well

[@larrywt656]

When they were kids they used to play a game where each one tried to outdo the others in bad singing! We see it in the bloopers, and it can be seen in quite a few of their behind the scenes videos as well. I think it would be so much fun just to hang out with them for a few days because it's so obvious how much fun they have together.

Bravo for the speech at the end about singers being human and not being perfect. Just like with handcrafted artisan-made items, there will be inconsistencies and wobblies here and there but that is all in the charm of the piece. I hope so much that we can remember that nothing is perfect and learn to admire even the things that aren't just as much as we do those things that seemingly are. (and I, like everyone else, still struggle with this. but i am making a conscious effort to try to be better)

Tara, I just love your reactions. I love this video, to some degree just because of how much *fun* the trio is having with each other here - it's part of the magic of PTX, how they invite us in to be part of the fun. And watching you giggle at them makes it Even Better :) If you're ever in North Carolina, you're cordially invited to dinner, a couple of bottles of wine, and as much laughter and ridiculously off-key singing as you can stand :) Thanks for sharing with us!
