"These people take me places" - Best description I've ever heard of The effect Pentatonix has on people. 👏
agreed, it perfectly sums up how we all feel when listenning to them
I agree I can just close my eyes and go to another place.
Came here to say this exact thing. I heard it and I held my and up and said "Yes! That is exactly "it" !!
What kille me is when the pull off those falling runs .... in three part harmony
@@minutenurse9030 That is definitely one of the best parts!
I heard it put this way.. Simon and Garfunkel, sang out a warning, Disturbed took us to war, and Pentatonix send out a message of hope for the future.
❤
Excellent way to put it!
Love that!!!
so wrong, Disturbed, sang as its already over and angry. And this makes total sense, society has no future.
Ohhhh, that’s good, that’s good.
"I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I am SICK of this song."
Me, chuckling: Oh REALLY?
Yep! Exactly my thought
EXACTLY. I am excited AF to watch this after that. *popcorn*
I swear I was doing this to 😂😂
Lol, I know. Was thinkin' the same. 😉 Welcome to the Pentatonics rabbit hole.
You: kinda tired of this song.
PTX: hold my green tea
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
@
Heidi Fruchtl this song never gets old ...
@@thanksmr.obvious6427 lol
"Mary Did You Know" will blow you away with the layering.
For sure!!!!!!! I Love how they did that one! So uplifting
That song makes me emotional because of how beautiful it is, and they embodied that song. I'm not even a Christian but dang.
Love it !
Absolutely one of my favorites!!!
When I played "Mary did you know" my mom was in tears by the end. I loved seeing her moved by it.
Everyone sang their butts off, but omg Scott needs some love in this song. Probably one of my favorite performances from him. His range is insane
I love Scott
Love his voice. It's amazing, they All are !
Don’t use Gods name in vain
I was so glad to see Scott finally let his throttle out at the end of this song. Showing everyone that he could walk into any rock band in the world and just tell everyone else to go home
Not many reactors talk about Matt (bass), and he did such a great job here. When he just lets go, his tone is amazing.
I just love Matts tone. It’s sublime.
Yes!!! I absolutely adore every member of PTX. But, I often have a favorite within any given song (not always, though, because they all slay all the time 😂). That said, Matt is my favorite in this song. His tone is absolutely sublime. The vibrato on his vowels in his solo...killer.
Matt has such range. In Hallelujah he sang bass to back Avi's part.
@@baskervillebee6097 Matt replaced Avi. Scott backed Avi for bass on Hallelujah.
Absolutely ! He has such a great voice. They are all so damned good it's impossible to say one is better. They each have thier own awesomeness ! As a group, I'm at a lost for words of praise.
I honestly laughed at your initial disclaimer. Not offended at all...makes sense that you'd be sick of the song. Even as a longtime Simon & Garfunkel fan, I kinda got burned out after it became a meme and after the Disturbed version (much as I love what they did with it). But I've also watched a ton of reactions to this PTX cover, and it never fails. LOVED your response when Matt ("new" bass, far left, white jacket) came in. Thanks for the great reaction!
Always good to see you haemony - hope this finds you well - and excited for the new track to drop on the 14th !! See you there !! X
This! I’ve honestly never cared for this song until very recently. I’ve always found Simon & Garfunkel to just be plain irritating. I don’t know why. 🤷♀️ I just do. Disturbed made me realize the beauty in this song, and Pentatonix just took it to a whole new level. This is an astounding piece of art.
I feel like not enough people TRULY appreciate Matt in this. I think at least some small part of that is because some people are STILL resistant to like him, just because he replaced Avi, and they loved Avi. Matt and Avi are different, and both are absolutely brilliant in their own ways.
Matt SLAYED his solo here! It’s my favorite solo of the song. Every member of this group is absolutely brilliant, and they all get their turns to shine as individuals between the various songs that they perform. But this is Matt in his element. It’s so buttery smooth, rich, pure, and powerful! It’s perfection caught on tape. 🤯
@@jdkilpatrick2000 so Avi was ridiculously talented and I loved him but Matt is an amazing addition to this group and I get goosebumps every time he sings. He harmonizes beautifully and his solos are to die for.
“Please someone if you know her, high-five her that was sick”
I don’t know why but i absolutely loved that part
Kevin made "celloboxing" a thing. He plays cello while beatboxing.
PENTATONIX CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT is a terrific Lion King cover they do. Fantastic harmonies, and I'm not even going to talk about Mitch. Only hearing is believing.
That's exactly what I was going to suggest.
Yes, I was going to suggest this song also!!!!
Me too
Same same!!
100% this!
Listen to Mary did you know by pentatonix you'll enjoy it alot
Love that one as well!!!!
Really listen to this one.
That was the song that hooked me on pentatonix
The Simon & Garfunkel original: a gentle warning of things to come; The Disturbed version: angry response that the warning was ignored; The PTX version: hopeful optimism that the warning will still be heard.
The PTX trance..... we've all been there! Great reaction, love your insight. Do another one?
Can you react to Come Along next by PTX? They hit crazy notes and dressed fashionably!
And Kevin & Matt maintain a crazy beat. Here's a music teacher question: what the heck is the kind of rhythm used in Come Along? It's driving me crazy. It almost feels like it's East Indian, but I have to say I'm mostly illiterate, musically speaking.
And if you listen to the original by Cosmo Sheldrake, you'll hear how huge the difference in the arrangement is between the 2 versions. Really, the only similarity between the 2 is the lyrics. The melody, tempo, all of it.
@@kristaphipps6932 because cosmo sheldrake is a beautiful freak making awesome songs and then pentatonix went and upped it still✨
Great reaction! As a (retired) music theater myself, I fully understand getting burned out on a song, even if it's a good one. I'm glad this rendition reinvigorated you. Getting nerdy myself, I find it just such an ingenious arrangement in how it delivers effects and surprises. Starting with SCOTT, their baritone, showing his buzzy low E and F# at the start. And then MATT, the group's bass since late 2017, singing it an octave higher than Scott had, showing a well-developed baritone range. (And the slick way the arrangement let others take over the very top A in the tune so he could stay on F# on the first harmony part, before descending back to bass.) And then a key change so KIRSTIN could own it in B minor, and then Scott show us the high end of his range. KEVIN holding down the beat (and singing, in the little choral transitions).
(OK, the all-caps names were a friendly hint that it's getting to be time to master their names. You can do it! I love your analytical approach.)
A fellow colleague! Stoked to meet you :) and welcome to the channel! I will do my best learning their names
@@TempleMusicAcademy Oh, I've been a subscriber since you started PTX. I always enjoy what you have to say. And you've mastered Mitch's name, so I have faith in you. We all have to start somewhere. :)
As soon as you remember their names, you will be inducted into the multi-millions of PENTAHOLICS....great reaction. BTW, all the songs in which they do covers, their arrangements are always so unique that you won't ever get bored or hate "their" version...keep on that train !!!
agreed. I like their covers a lot more than their originals
@@mickeyc2137 hmm you should listen to their newest originals now LOL
@@Yagirlkenzie05 I have. They still are Meh to me
I'm old enough to have been around when Simon & Garfunkel released this and fell in love with it on the spot. Since then, I'd never heard a cover that tripped my trigger. Disturbed's version demonstrated their talent, and they have a lot, but I didn't think it matched the original feel of the song.; it feels too angry to me. I had no worry though when I saw PTX was going to cover it...and they did do it justice! Probably seen it 200 times and when Scott gets into that final verse I still get goosebumps. Great reaction; glad they've refreshed it for you :)
My thoughts exactly! There is nothing like the original electric version from Simon and Garfunkel but Pentatonix honors it extremely well! I really dislike the Disturbed version.
I also was around when S&G released this and have the same opinion as you on every thing you said.
I was also around when it was originally released. However, I think I like this version better!
You should take a look at Peter Hollens and Tim Foust cover that is also really good ua-cam.com/video/3HboNZ8HFF8/v-deo.html
Personally, I feel that the original is a gentle reminder to listen "to the sound of silence", Disturbed's version is anger that still no one is listening, and Pentatonix's version is a lament that no one listened.
You should do their cover of Imagine
"I'm gonna be honest with y'all, I am SICK of this song."
PTX: Here, hold my beer...
Pentatonix is a total masterpiece
Speaking of The Lion King, they do a sic cover of Can You Feel The Love Tonight that will floor you! Enjoyed❣️. I want more😉!
ua-cam.com/video/lFmXuRCZvkA/v-deo.html
We call that a wall of sound like at the end of hallelujah and imagine. For a fun choral like song, even they said it brings them back to their choir days, you could try the song "Come Along". Mitch said in concert once that he doesn't even know what it means but it's fun to sing.
I absolutely adore Come Along - such an underrated song and not nearly enough people react to it
Come Along is my favourite cover of theirs, I absolutely love it & it really does seem to be quite underrated which is a shame
@@kaseycurtis468 Yep I love the video for it too. The in concert was is interesting lol
I call that wall of sound "power harmonies".
I thought you might change your mind once you’ve heard Pentatonix do this. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel‘s electric version. It is one of my all-time favorites. When I heard Disturb’s version it upset me greatly. I did not like the anger in it. As a Pentatonix fan from the beginning, I am super glad that they did this song the way they did. It makes me cry every time. They honor Simon and Garfunkel‘s song very well.
Great comments and reaction. Yes, Matt’s voice is as unique as all the other PTX members, and when they put them all together, pure heaven! I am super nerdy when it comes to them. 🤗
What's good bud glad to see ya again with another Pentatonix reaction....Hey PTX fam
Can't stop at one..... or 12 for that matter ;)
Heya Sean! Hope you're having a good day 👍
Hey Sean. Still hot down there?
Hey sean
Hey, Sean. Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe, everyone!
Love your reaction!
I can't wait to see more of PTX:
Imagine, Say Something, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy, Run To You
I would suggest Aha! Singapore: A fan video of a live performance, but good quality and best version
Avi (his solo work): A Change on The Rise, I'll Get By
Scott's solo work: I Should Tell Ya Momma on You (a cover and shows his crazy range)
This version of the song by Pentatonix gave my soul goose bumps. Every one of them, outstanding.
Damn even after all these times watching it I have only now realized I have the exact same jacket Matt is wearing. LIT
You need to review their Daft Punk medley. Its a very different genre from what you've reviewed so far, and it continues to blow me away. The new guy is Matt, who replaced Avi as the group's bass about 3 years ago. I'm glad you got to hear him. Love your work, and thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this one. (I'll also say do Mary did you know because you actually get to hear Kevin, the beatboxer, sing)
ua-cam.com/video/pIQLXSUAU1g/v-deo.html
The biggest news is they are dropping their second original song in 5 years on the 14th at 3pm est/12pm pt
Anytime I listen to Matt's part of this song, I always get this chills in my body. Gosh! he is so good
This song has followed me through 45 years of life . Pentatonix brings me to a dimension I have never visited when I hear them do it. Bravo!
I kinda feel that way about the song, HALLELUJAH. I love it but EVERYONE does it, but Pentatonix has one of the best covers ever!keep rockin it out! 🤘🏻❤️
Great reaction 👍 if you want more along the lines of what you've seen, then their cover of "Imagine" is a good next one. Or if you want to see something completely different that shows their versatility then "Daft Punk" (their first Grammy) is a great choice! Thanks!
ua-cam.com/video/pIQLXSUAU1g/v-deo.html
Haha was just watching it 👍👍
Please react to
Run to you (PTX original)
New rules & Are you that somebody
Mad world
Daft Punk (really showcases their mashup abilities and got PTX their first Grammy)
ua-cam.com/video/pIQLXSUAU1g/v-deo.html
they are dropping new video on wednesday for their original song "Be my eyes" , and on friday new album of their original songs
ua-cam.com/video/S5HabtsauqE/v-deo.html
Try their three newest, covers of Mad World and When the Party's Over, then their original Happy Now.
I've been watching Pentatonix since the very beginning when they were on the Sing Off - and still, all these years later (which is over a decade) it still amazes me how 5 people manage to make themselves sound like an entire choir of people.
The dreamy look and the little head shake, that's exactly how they make me feel
I would suggest doing some of Pentatonix's originals. Love Again is a really nice EDM style song. I also always recommend one of their older songs that doesn't get a lot of coverage. Their cover of Can't hold us (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis).
Sing is a super fun one. My kiddo think it is the BEST.
Yes! Nobody gives Love Again it's justice
Watching someone with genuine technical expertise experience their brilliance is music nerd crack 😉 as a former a capella quartet member, seeing them live was an out of body experience. They have genuinely redefined the genre.
Imagine cover. Powerful message, powerful delivery of the message
i love how thy perform this song but when Kirstin gets her solo is when i get the goosebumps every time
Not sure they have a video of it, but they cover Boogie Woggie Bugle Boy...impressive. I saw them perform it live.
Loved this review!!! You should really react to PTX’s “Come along”. Its bound to put you in a good mood :)
So glad you did that song. I have always loved it but PTX, WOW!!!! Please react to more of their songs. You will not be disappointed. Aha Live Singapore mostly features Mitch but it will blow you away. Mary Did You Know, terrific. You mentioned a Lion King vibe. The also cover Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Wonderful job. Love your reaction to this song. It is one of my very favorite ones they cover! ENJOY!!!!!!! Scott (lead), Mitch (middle), Kirstie, Kevin (beatboxer) and Matt (bass).
ua-cam.com/video/lFmXuRCZvkA/v-deo.html
You could not possibly have done a better reaction to this song. It was like watching a child discover the joy of a new experience. Love it when obviously true and real feelings come across. Makes me feel like I know that how I react to this song is validated by an expert in the field. Thank you! And thank PTX!
Dude! Great reaction. Thanks!
Awesome! This is probably the best Matt-era song of PTX that I've heard. I'd love to see you check out "Imagine" or my personal favorite PTX song, Light In The Hallway.
Actually. It’s a tie with the duet he did with Mitch on “Mad World”!
Are we forgetting about you're a mean one Mr. Grinch?
You saying it reminds of lion king you should check out the cover of can you feel the love tonight that ptx covers..
ua-cam.com/video/lFmXuRCZvkA/v-deo.html
This is the best cover of this song for me! Thanks for posting and for the interesting commentary. This is why I look forward to your posts.
PTX never disappoint. They know how to play with arrangements to transmit a proper mood to each song... really outstanding.
Some more “raw” (less studio supported) covers are “No” (Meghan Traynor cover) and “Gold” (Kiiara cover). You’ll get gladly surprised.
See you in the next one
Introductions appear to be in order... left to right -- Matt Sallee, bass; Kirstin (Kirstie, rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, mezzo-soprano who can range down to second alto; Scott Hoying, baritone / tenor / fill in bass when main bass sings lead; Mitch Grassi, counter-tenor, vocal and sartorial chameleon; and the beatboxer / sometimes tenor harmony is Kevin "KO" Olusola.
Scott, Mitch and Kirstie grew up together in Arlington Texas singing in choirs, musical theater, and anywhere else they could. Scott brought the group together (with Avi Kaplan singing bass) to compete on season three of the Sing Off. The best videos I've seen are from MrDuckBear. He includes the judges comments and outros in his segments. They are worth watching on your own to see their growth as a group.
Actually PTX was on and won season three of The Sing Off, not season four. Otherwise awesome comment.
@@vidsorama2 Thanks. Fixed after i found the edit button :).
You have got to see their video of “Imagine”. It’s gorgeous.
You want to be taken to church with PTX (and get your Lion King fix), you need to watch their cover of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. It's amazing.
ua-cam.com/video/lFmXuRCZvkA/v-deo.html
No one does it better than PTX, once they upgrade the song they own it!
Really appreciate your honest and insightful reactions. Please do the Todrick Hall and Pentatonix Wizard of Ahhs. It’s fantastic. Also for more Kirstie, check out La La Latch or Shallow (also with Kevin doing beatboxing AND playing cello at the same time!). So much more to experience and I’ll be watching!
my fav is matt 4:47 -4:50 how he switched to low voice :P ! Enjoy watching ur video because ur sincere expression and explanations ! 🤗 thanks again ps im a girl :P
Love the reactions and comments... Keep up the PTX express....
I heart u! Lol. I loved your opening disclaimer......I giggled....I felt the same. But I have learned to trust that even songs I may be burnt out on, or ones that I'm familiar with & just don't even necessarily care for....PTX breathes new life into them. That's the only way I can put it. They pay amazing respectful homage to the originals, but are able to interject their one of a kind energy & wall of sound, while always surprising us & always evolving. They give songs that need to be heard by a new generation the updated mood it needs to catch their attention & other cases sometimes a song is rediscovered not only for the sound but the message too (Imagine is my fave❤) I loved your reaction getting lost with Mitch & then being amazed by Matt too. I feel like sometimes Pentaholics miss Avi so much it's hard to get past that & give credit where it's due. But Matt I feel like has one of the most beautiful voices!! So rich & vast! Can't wait too see some more reactions!
I love the contrast at the end where they move from harmony to unison. Great ending!
That “percussion guy” plays the cello and trained with YoYo Ma!
I would love seeing your take on their Daft Punk Medley and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (these earned them their first 2 Grammy awards).
Kirstie is the awesome soprano. She, Mitch, and Scott (blonde baritone, sometimes bass) grew up together. Kevin (beat boxer, cellist, tenor) and their original bass, Avi - who left on good terms and helped find his replacement shown here, Matt - joined and formed Pentatonix so they could meet the required number of members needed for the a cappella competition, the Sing Off (season 3). They won but were dropped by the label soon after. So they began making their own videos, and eventually, word spread of how talented and diverse their music is.
ua-cam.com/video/pIQLXSUAU1g/v-deo.html
This is a song you never get sick of
Please, please, please react to Kevin Olusola's KOver of "Down". Much love and keep on keepin on J.
I love your reactions!!! and I love that their cover has allowed you to find the joy of the song again!!! looking forward to the next PTX Reaction. Pick any song, doesn't matter lol!
I'd honestly LOVE to see your reaction and thoughts on Kevin's (the beatboxer/percussion)
video for Down (Marian Hill KOver). He's so incredibly talented and it's a real shame that more people don't recognize that.
You can hear a song a billion times by a billion different artists, but when PTX does it, it somehow feels completely new. Also I have to point out that Nobody in the group is ever left out. Everyone gets their chance to shine.
I love love loved it! That was AWESOME!!
Loved, loved, loved your reaction.
Thanks for the great reaction! We knew you’d love it.
This is my first time seeing your reviews and I couldn't stop watching you reacting it seemed so genuine.
You will enjoy Mary Did You Know.
If you haven't seen it already I would rec. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" since you brought up Lion King. They kill it!
ua-cam.com/video/lFmXuRCZvkA/v-deo.html
i love your reaction and commentary!!! this song just feels sooo good to listen to ❤️
Love it!!!!! Bravo!!!!
Your reaction has brought a smile to my face. ...very insightful.
He has such a passion for music , it’s amazing
Love this reaction, and love your smile too :D
I love this group and love signing their songs
Dude, love your enthusiasm and appreciation of music. You can really tell you are doing something you love and sharing your experience online with others and it's a diary of sorts for yourself in the future. Really hope I have the same enthusiasm for flying after making it a career and never get jaded; or atleast find something that will prevent me from ever getting jaded of it. Keep it up, brother; you are an inspiration to those who never even got into the music field of play and yet we can still relate.
Fabulous! Every song they do is taken to a whole new level.
Goosebumps… Bravo Bravo !!
This song is epic, complex, sweeping, and inspiring. Great reaction.
I love your reactions to PTX, gives a great insight to the musicality of the group and love seeing you enjoy as much as we do. :)
I must say that I love the absolute joy on your face as you reviewed the song!
Matt is amazing. He brings such joy to the group!
I have watched so many reactions to this but you completely hit every point I love about this cover the “words layering” and that choir aspect they bring with only five people. No one else mentions it!
The visual that goes along with those layers while Kirsten is singing and Scott and Mitch raised their hand as the layer goes is my favorite part of that song.
I just love the smile on your face when you listen! All the PTX fans have that reaction
They blow me away every time!
Pentatonic will give you a whole new vibe,❤️loved your reaction ☺️
Watching you listen and watch was a treasure. I could really feel your experience and the feelings you had, and losing yourself in it and then the joy of the music, its magic. Its how I always about amazing music.
Your smiling has made me smile, so thank you for another great reaction. I would really like to see you react to The Sing Off - where Pentatonix got their start, grew, to what they are now, and see them live with good sound
You really need to look at Pentatonic rendition of Imagine by John Lennon. It will cause an ear-gasim. Beautiful song by beautiful people.
" The wall of sound" they produce always amazes me. Love your reactions
You are a TRIP dude! I love you watching them... I had to rewind it a few times to see YOUR reaction over and over! LOL
Thank you for the sincere review!!!🎉
I love their them they always give me that church feeling and this song just gives me this amazing feeling its a cross between crying but yet so happy they are just amazing
