Mitch and Kirstie change their looks A LOT! This look for Kirstie is her natural hair color and my favorite for her❣️ Mitch, well, Mitch is a chameleon, but it is always him. Can’t deny that once he opens his mouth.
Another reviewer phrased it "Mitch being Mitch". So true. His mullet look is my favorite!
When Kevin came on board as their beatboxer 10 years ago he was a master cellist, played amazing sax, and piano. Before PTX he studied in China for 18 months in college thinking he was going to be a doctor working like a missionary because he was a pre-med student at Yale. He learned how to beat box and play his cello at the same time in China....called cello-boxing. He never had very much experience with the vocal singing. Avi, who was the original bass from 2011-2017 (now it's Matt who is on the left side of the screen), and Kevin lived together at the beginning of their careers with PTX and Avi was trained as a basso profundo....opera singing....so Avi was Kevin's singing tutor, but Kevin is all about the beatboxing in the group. He sings a little, but he is a very humble performer and everything he does he does for the good of the group, who he considers family. Upholding and supporting them is the most important role he feels he has. I admire his attitude. Very rare for an entertainer. Thank you for your reaction. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
Kevin is whatever they need: beatbox, cello, singing. That's why he is so creative and versatile. Nobody could replace Kevin because they would need to have his giving heart.
Too rare. Too rare.
Please react to their cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine!” And bring tissues.
If you watch their cover of Gold by Ciara, you we’ll see them all sitting down and singing so you can see what each individual is doing.
PTX doesn't do covers, they do upgrades!
This seems to be based on the Disturbed cover
Mitch and Kirstie change their looks a lot. I like Kevin's work on New Rules x Are You That Somebody, so maybe give that a look. Kevin also has his own channel where you'll find his cover of Down by Marian Hill. It showcases Kevin's talents up-close. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/IGjg193h4Ok/v-deo.html
Yeah, Mitch is a real chameleon. Not for every song, but a lot! As long as we get to hear his voice I don't care what he looks like!
Kevin gets more on Amazing Grace & Imagine.
And yes Mitch was a chameleon for years. Little bit more steady now but his side project Messer is completely different again x
Two songs you could check that display Kevin's beat boxing are Daft Punk and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Drummers are not supposed to be the focus they are support. Bass is usually support also. Those who carry the melody get the focus because.. the melody is the message. Sure you have exceptions but the fact that Kevin does not overperform his parts is a testament to his professionalism. Kevin does extra things in Havana and Radioactive you will appreciate.
..
I think you would really like their cover of Mad World. I think you would consider it spine chilling. Also,their cover of Imagine is a powerful version, with a powerful message.
It is time for Daft Punk! Kevin rocks it. Also 90's dance mix. Yes, Mitch is known for changing it up! 😁😁😎
Yes, Mitch and Kirstie too change their looks frequently!
I agree with the a Kevin remark. You should take a look at Kevin's solo stuff.
I love Pentatonix's version of this song. I just listened to Disturbs version and I have to say It blew me away! So heavy, and beautiful at the same time. Both versions are so different and yet the same if that makes sense. If I have to choose who did the song the best, it is hard. I do choose Pentatonix, I just love their version so much more.
Perfect summation, wouldn’t say it better myself
In their evolutions you'll see Kevin easily. Those are of Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Beyonce, and Arianna Grande
Kevin does sing occasionally. He also occasionally plays cello while beatboxing with PTX. His solo cover of "Down" by Marian Hill is a must see.
I love his solo KOvers! He is really talented and it’s fascinating to see his KOver process looping the instruments 🎹
Everything PTX does is perfection. Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, are great. But the song they dropped last week, The Prayer, will transcend you. It is the very best they’ve done. You will not believe your ears. Kevin has a song of his own that showcases his many ( and he has many) talents. Try Down by Kevin. All of their Christmas stuff is beyond . Mary Did You Know, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy (for which they won one of three Grammys), and my favorite, Oh Come All Ye Faithful. Ear candy.
I was just bopping around in the file room at work to Oh Come All Ye Faithful! My office loves it when I play the PTX Christmas playlist lol!!
They sang it better than Celine Dion and Andrew bocelli
Kevin is such a subtle gifted performer. He supports beautifully I suggest you watch their cover of Kiera’s “Gold”. They are sitting and singing live
And you can really see and hear Kevin’s brilliance. As well as Mitch running up and down the scale in a way one music teacher reviewer said should be impossible. Also on Gold their timing with one another is a masterclass
They became famous when Scott, Kirsty and Mitch were 19, Kevin was 23 and Avi 22. So all kinds of looks and hair colors for Mitch and Kirsty as they have changed and grown. From the beginning they have always tried to service the song. No lead singer ego , they work as a group..
Thank you for your reaction. You are fun to watch as you discover them.
I just saw a PTX TikTok singing compilation. No studio, no microphones, usually in a stairwell.
I wish I knew how to share a link.
Raw talent.
I too wish Kevin got more screen time. For his MASSIVE TALENT, he should have more recognition, cos he’s a MASSIVE, MASSIVE Part of PTX. 🫶🤷♀️🇬🇧🇺🇸😇🙏🫶🤷♀️🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
It is amazing that PTX can deliver any song in a live performance just as well as the video. One thing especially good about PTX is they never record anything they can’t do in a live performance. (Kirstin changes her hair for every video also. lol)
If you watch any of their Evolution series, they are filmed live in one take, and you can see the bass and Kevin the beatboxer right there in front
I remember the first time I heard this. Multiple episodes of goosebumps! I've heard this many times since then and it still wows me.
♥ I hit like before the music started!!
This is one of PTX' very best productions. ty
..
Is it fair to say you were gobsmacked by the Pentatonix "wall of sound"? This song is lovely and powerful.
THANK YOU for what you said about Kevin! Can you imagine what they would sound like without him? I can’t. To me Kevin is a very important part of the group. My favorite part to be exact! Thanks for the reaction! 👍
I recommend you react to Kevin’s solo performance of Down. It’s pure genius! 😍🇬🇧
Mitch and Kirsten change up their looks all the time. Also, You could react to Kevin Olusola's solo work "Sign of the Times" cover it is amazing. Thanks.
💕 ********************PENTATONIX IS LIKE A MIRACLE FOR OUR EARS********************** 💕 Great reaction
Check out daft punk, mary did you know, dance of the sugar plum fairies, evolution of michael jackson... Incredible stuff, you will be amazed
If you want to see more of Kevin: Daft Punk Medley, where his Beatboxing is just out of this world. Or Mary did you know or Amazing Grace, where he actually sings solo. Or Shallow and Say something, where he beatboxes while playing the chello. Or Havanna, where he pulls off a trumpet soli with just his voice…
Can You Feel the Love Tonight will blow u away. As for Kevin, definitely check out one of their Evolution videos. I'd start with either Music or Michael Jackson. New Rules/Are u that somebody really showcases both Kevin and Matt. And Daft Punk really showcases Kevin big time.
If u really want to check out his music genius and be mind melted check out his cover of Down 🤯
He also plays cello and beat boxes at the same time. Check out Say Something for that.
Check out God only Knows, Pentatonix version of the beach boys classic and they have also done Bohemian Rhapsody justice too. These guys cannot go any wrong in my mind
A response to a reactor once said, "They don't do covers, they do upgrades". I wholly agree with that sentiment, and this is one of the perfect examples. This is the first video of yours I've seen, so I don't know what you've done before, but Amazing Grace and Mary Did You Know are in the same vein.
Let’s not forget the “original “ by Simon & Garfunkel, which was released in 1964.
You've got to take in Amazing Grace and Imagine for the controlled emotionality and musicality. Even Like a Prayer (and I'm no christian)
Pentatonix did Shallow, which showed off Kevin’s cello skills. Amazing Grace shows off his beautiful angelic voice.
What they do with this classic is beyond amazing. They are the premiere a'capella
group on the planet.
Next up...PTX upgrade of John Lennon’s “Imagine”. Please.
When people compare Simon & Garfunkel, Disturbed and PTX, I don’t understand how they think Disturbed even comes close. I hear S&G and PTX and they take me to the same place. One is a harmony that is laid back and the other makes me feel like I can touch the stars. Disturbed is good but it takes me no where and leaves me flat. It’s something I can here from a really good local band covering this amazing song.
Thats the beauty of music or art in general, songs can bring different feelings to different people and its impossible to understand anyone else emotions the best we can do is assimilate them to what we feel but we will never truly understand how anyone else experience the world exactly and we do our best to put it into words
If you want to see and hear something by Pentatonix that is a LOT different than what you have reviewed so far, try their "Can't Hold Us", "Cruisin' for a bruisin' " or "My Favorite Things" .
Check out their cover of Gold and you can watch each member individually, especially Kevin. He outdoes himself in Oh come all ye faithful. On the videos you are right, the camera doesnt focus on him as much as whos singing. Also check out Daft punk and Havana
I agreed with you about seeing more of Kevin, but after considering I think he doesn't want the camera on him too long because he doesn't want his methods for producing such incredible sounds like a beatbox or a whole drum kit revealed. The mystery adds to the sorcery of his contribution to the whole. Each one has a special contribution to make, but Kevin...well.
Do Disturbed’s version of Sound of Silence as well. That one got Paul Simon’s approval!
I Love your Reactions to Pentatonix. You have Lots more to go. Keep it up. I Really enjoy watching you
I love this cover, more than Simon & Garfunkles
when kirsty is singing , you can really hear how high mitch is singing . and of course , scott sings the bass while matt is lead .
Thanks for a great reaction! I agree with the other comments about checking out their cover of "Imagine" and "Amazing Grace" (You will hear more of Kevin's beautiful voice on those two songs too). Kevin Olusola is a musical genius! You may want to check out his solo 'KO' channel starting with his cover of "Down" and his "celloboxing"(beatboxing while playing the cello) in the Pentatonix covers of "Say Something" "Shallow" and "Perfect". There is also an old video of Kevin as a teenager in high school playing the saxophone at Carnegie Hall on You Tube-- Kevin Olusola "From The Top: Live From Carnegie Hall-2005". His performance and interview after the performance will blow you away!
Mitch is a doll. I love his voice.
This was the first song I watched from them; I was hooked immediately, then watched Hallelujah, and just was inthralled with Avi.
New Rules are you that somebody and Shallow
They can get you every single time doll! Every. Single. Time! I'm a long time Pentaholic & they still get me!
Also there's a live version of this song from Jimmy Kimmel if you want to see how amazing they are live!
Please check out Amazing Grace and their Daft Punk Medley which won their first Grammy. It’s an earlier video with the original Bass Avi Kaplan
Holy crap is just about what I always think when I hear them
Thanks for the great reaction.
Have you seen some of their original songs like “ Sing” “Can’t Sleep Love” “A Little Space” or “ Anchor”. They sang “Can’t Sleep Love” on the British show Sunday Brunch in 2015 and showed their lack of cooking skills.
LOL. Scott was especially hilariously bad at it.
If you want more of Kevin check out his solo stuff…2 of my faves are his covers of Down and Sign of the Times
Kevin sings in Imagine.... You may want to react to that.also..Pentatonix.. It's excellent!
Holy crap first time I have ever heard this group. Awesome just awesome 👌
Check out "Say Something". Kirstie is front and center, and Kevin carries the show with his cello and his beat boxing He even gets to sing. It is an amazing upgrade to a great song!
Their voices pierce my soul.
I’m so glad you mention Kevin in this video, he is so amazing and doesn’t get enough focus, love them all but Kevin is amazing ❤
So powerful. So glad you felt it too
Check out special K (Kevin Olusola) doing Down on his channel! You will be pleasantly surprised!
👋👋. That's called their WALL OF SOUND. Amen
We Pentaholics really appreciate your heartfelt reactions. Keep 'em coming, there's so much more!
Mitch is the definition of a Chameleon ever changing!! 😉
I am so thrilled on my bucket list was to see them live ! And on Dec 7th I will ! Thanks to my wonderful husband bought 2 tickets for me and my friend.
Yes.. I remember that feeling that your reactions have shown when you have found the "Pentatonix". Their harmony structures (the team work involved), their arrangement, interpretation and production. Only 4 voices & a beatbox/vocalist, unbelieveable, they sound like a choir. 💯👍💞
They are truly blessed with a great gift!
I continue to love your PTX reactions! Please react to Imagine and Amazing grace!
This is my favorite version.♥️
"mary did you know" & "amazing grace" kevin gets some sing time .
Nice reaction. They are awesome! Kevin is a genius. He also plays the cello and Celloboxing, both cello and beat boxing at the same time. I suggest you do his cover of Down. It gives a look into what he can do.
As for Pentatonix I suggest Imagine and Mad World. The first is older and still has Avi in it and the Mad World is newer and has Matt. Both are excellent!
My favorite version of this song ever......no one can touch it.
You definitely HAVE to react to Disturbed’s cover of this song(video version) one of the very best covers ever!🖤
Listen to Disturbed version!
Id love tp see more Simon and Garfunkel songs by them
this is one of my favorite songs by the current PTX lineup ~~ Shallow is a close runner-up!
I honestly think you’re a Pentaholic already!!!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤. Welcome too the club. 🫶🤷♀️🇬🇧❤️
Listen to Amazing Grace!
Such a gentle yet heartfelt reaction...
No yelling..no drama...
Thank you...
As someone who's lost her ability to sing as I have my entire life..my ears now must give me that pleasure...Pentatonix thrills me with their talent...
I'll check out your lists of reactions...again..thank you...🌿🌿🌿
Another great experience of listening to a Pentatonix version of an already great classic. Enjoyed your reaction and take on their interpretation~
Great reaction. Thank you. They can blow you away. This is one of my favorites. Pentatonix reaction suggestions: "Mad World" is another favorite. "Come Along" is an awesome high energy song. You will catch yourself smiling and chair dancing while watching the video.
To hear kevin. Watch mary did you know and imagine. Mitch and kirstie both frequently change their look
Kevin has a bit more to do in "Mary Did You Know" and "Amazing Grace: My Chains Are Gone". You might want to check out his work in "Thank You", the Christmas song that was written by Scott and his boyfriend, Mark. Scott plays the piano and Kevin plays the cello (he's a concert cellist, as well!) btw: Really nice reaction.
Disturbs version blows this version away no contest ...
Ive always like this song. They did an awesome job❤
Glad you reacted to this one, my all time favourite PTX! I hope you will also react to 'Disturbed' cover of Sound of Silence,not the live version, but their video version, if you haven't already 👍
For the beatbox, check out their Daft Punk video.
Your reaction is priceless ❤️☮️ I totally agree with you 100%. Used to sing this in my head during radiation treatments 😭😢 for me the neon light is radiation and the humiliation of laying on a table in the dark without a top 😢 just waiting for the Damn neon light.😭😢☮️
Another great reaction to a flawless PTX video. Thanks again, keep them coming and stay safe.
Great reaction, if you haven't already checked one off there original songs I strongly suggest you should. "Coffee in Bed" is one off my favorites
They have a unique ability to distill every song they cover down to its essence...
Love watching someone listen to this the first time knowing that it will never be the same when hearing the original.
Beautiful
For Country Women that have had a big impact on Country Music Check out "The Judds" a mother and daughter duet. They had many hits, here are just a few
Why Not Me
Love is Alive
Give a Little Love
Young Love
you should see why they won the grammy with daft punk medley !!!
