Just a little story about how they feel about each other…Upon winning the Sing Off, Kirstie was asked what the win meant to her. Without hesitation she replied that it means now the whole world can see how great MITCH really is! Pretty unselfish I would say….
I've watched interviews with the group and the interviewer asked who the best singer is and everyone pointed to Mitch. He would be pointing to either Kevin or Avi. Shawn Stockman called Kevin and Avi freaks of nature and the meat and potatoes of the group.
I remember seeing that; she said she was crying about it. I've always said Scott and Kirstie are Mitch's biggest fans and everyone else has to get in line behind them. 🙂
In my opinion there is not another group that arranges better than them, and probably no one better than them for a decade. They bring out emotions in listeners in ways that I have never seen, sorrow, joy, euphoria, melancholy, gratitude and many others. It usually turns them into Pentaholics and I don't think there is a cure. They are a magical unicorn of a group that can sing in any style and genre. They make music that just seems to defy the laws of physics.
I got the pleasure of hearing this in concert in December of last year and they did it with no microphones in a completely sold out venue with like 20,000 people there and it was so amazing! It was so quiet during the whole song that you could hear a pin drop. It was the most amazing experience of my life
Scott and Mitch met when they were 10 and both met Kirstie while at school. Scott and Mitch did a side thing called Superfruit which was amazing!! They all have done solo side projects but agreed that PTX would always be the priority. I've never known a group so in sync with each other. I don't think they are human!
Actually, Mitch and Kirstie have known each other since they were 8 years old. Scott met Kirstie in 9th grade English class. Scott and Mitch did meet at age 10.
They still do Superfruit - an outlet for both Mitch and Scott to be as "fruity" as they please (hence the play on Superfruit), perform and do things that would not be "acceptable" for Pentatonix. They have a lot of guest collaborations too
@@Chris_T_S they haven’t done Superfruit in at least a few years unfortunately. Hopefully it’ll come back but we all know how the last 2 years have been.
This is long.. but I want to give you what info was made known by PTX to their fans since their first appearance on The Sing-Off on NBC in 2011 and in the years after. Scott, Mitch and Kirstie grew up in the same town. All 3 were active in Community Theater from young ages (there are home movies on UA-cam). Mitch and Kirstie went to the same school beginning in kindergarten (I believe), but actually got to know each other through Community Theater. Scott attended a different school and he met and became friends with Mitch through Community Theater when they were Grade School. So Mitch knew Kirstie and Scott.. But Kirstie and Scott weren't introduced to each other until Scott began attending the same High School (Martin High School) they went to. Mitch introduced them to each other. They were choir nerds and formed an Acapella group called "The Trio". They wanted to bring in a new sound for Acapella and there are videos of "The Trio" on UA-cam. In Middle School Scott and Mitch began some singing together as a duet. There are some videos of them on UA-cam.. singing in what looked like a bookstore in a mall? Could have been a school library? And there's a nice one of them performing in a school talent show. There's videos of each doing solo music at that age on UA-cam too. Mitch and Kirstie dated briefly in Middle School. Mitch and Scott dated in High School I'm thinking 🤔 and they became best friends. The breakup and then Scott going away to college nearly ended their friendship. Mitch is one grade level lower than Scott and Kirstie. He was a Senior in High School when Scott and Kirstie left to attend different colleges. A fellow student and Scott's friend at college had seen "The Trio" on UA-cam and told him they were good enough to audition for The Sing-Off, an Acapella group competition on NBC. He said they'd need to add 2 more people to the group for the competition to qualify.. a bass and a beatboxer. First, Scott had to see if Kirstie and Mitch would drop everything they were doing and get The Trio back together (plus 2 people) and audition for The Sing-Off with him. They both said "yes". Scott found a video of Kevin on UA-cam and wanted him to join the group. Kevin was about to enter Yale where he was studying to become a doctor. Scott's college friend (Ben Bram) knew a great bass.. Avi Kaplan and he asked him if he'd be interested in this thing. Avi also had seen The Trio on UA-cam and thought they were really talented so he threw his hat in the ring. Kevin, Scott, Kirstie and Mitch all put school on hold to audition for The Sing-Off. Avi was about to give up on trying to make a career out of music when Scott contacted him. He decided to give The Sing-Off a try before throwing in the towel. The Trio had arranged a version of Lady Gaga's "Telephone" and they made a version that would include Avi and Kevin mobily. The 5 all met and sang together for the first time in person the night before their morning audition for The Sing-Off. They had to pick a "group leader" for the show and Scott was picked because this was his idea. He also suggested the name "Pentatonix" based on the Pentatonic Scale and them being a group of 5 people (penta). In 2011 they auditioned, got on the show and won. Pentatonix was born. Sony Music renigged on their prize of a recording contract one week after the kids won stating that they didn't believe Acapella could be competitive in main stream music. The group packed up, moved into houses next to each other in LA and worked their butts off.. mainly on UA-cam. The Daft Punk Medley video they filmed in a closet and kitchen at Kevin and then Avi's homes won them a Grammy. Ben Bram (Scott's college friend) recorded and produced it. He won a Grammy for his work on it beside Pentatonix. Ben has been with them this entire time. RCA (a subsidiary of Sony Music) signed them and that's when Sony Music Entertainment started making it impossible to share and react to Pentatonix videos on the very place they had worked so hard for years. They are a group that made a name for themselves on UA-cam.
There is an intimacy to this song. Hearing their breaths and singing in a small circle just makes it seem like it’s just for me (or you). Tugs the heart strings a bit harder! There is a history of PTX on UA-cam.
Yes. Home Free and Voice Play are really good but there is a reason why Pentatonix subscribers and views are so much more. The are truly special regardless of which group you prefer.
Scott and Mitch have been best friends from age 8, meeting at community theater. They met Kirstin in high school. Scott wanted them to enter The Sing Off but found out that the minimum number of members per group was 5. Scott found Avi through a friend and Scott emailed him asking him if he'd like to join their group. They discovered the talents of Kevin via UA-cam videos. The five of them met face to faced and rehearsed the day before their Sing Off audition. After The Sing Off the record label they won dropped Pentatonix saying a capella wouldn't make money. They had all just moved to LA (living in the same building). This was a crushing blow. So they started a UA-cam channel that was so popular that they were signed to RCA records. Avi left amicably in 2017 due to the fast pace of life with the group. Matt joined for the holiday season in 2017 and was made a permanent member afterwards.
Correction: Kirstie and Mitch have been friends since age 8. Mitch and Scott have been friends since age 10. They all became friends and "the trio" in high school. 🙏🏾❤️
Pentatonix never disappoints. Their harmonies are magical. It's almost as if they are one person singing different parts...they pair so well. I enjoyed that song immensely. Thank you for your reaction. Please please please please please please please please do their 90's Dance Medley or Daft Punk. I PROMISE you will not be sorry you did. They are both upbeat and might even have you dancing with Jeff in your chair. LOL Keep 'em coming SauceyDad! Sending you love from Texas!
They sung this song in their Christmas concerts. They would ask the audience to be as quiet as they could, then they laid down their mics and sang it with their eyes closed into one standing mic. You can see they're doing the eyes closed in this video. It's done so they can hear each other's voices .
The Beginners Guide has snippets of over 50 of their songs in it, so if you don't want to get spoiled.... Here is a fresh video explaining Pentatonix (without their music): What You Don't Know About Pentatonix ua-cam.com/video/4zkD0j926kA/v-deo.html
If you want to see something that will make your jaw drop (at least it did mine), please check out Scott's solo video of him doing a cover of "I should tell ya momma on ya (red cover)." He has such an amazing diversity to his talents! They are all so talented!
A fun video to watch and see the chemistry between Mitch, Scott and Kirsty is the UA-cam video of 'Superfruit' doing the Frozen medley. It really showcases how much fun the three friends have being together.
I loved that, I miss the silliness of Superfruit, but I guess they got too busy or outgrew it. Sad, but it happens. Still they did some great stuff on there. Like Defying Gravity etc
PentaMagic! I like that. The trio have known each other for over 20 years, they all went to high school together, and performed locally in musicals. Watch “The Beginner’s Guide to Pentatonix” and that may help. Love your reactions,❤️
I agree they have an amazing chemistry from knowing each other so long. I watched the videos of Pentacon Parents panel 2016 and 2018 and realised that the deep connections extended to their parents. I think Scott takes after his mother who seems to be a mother to them all, at least the trio at that stage. The group bonded so well with Kevin, and Matt's parents spoke of the warmth and inclusiveness they and Matt had experienced. I can't help feel they have something very special and unique that allows the group to grow and thrive. You can't fake something like that, the combined wisdom and support that they all give to each other. Added to the extreme talent they all have, it's something that isn't easily developed, it's just there.
Just look at their views and you can tell how many people get it. Their views are astronomical, for that many people to get what they are putting out it's just astonishing. They are magical. And I think they did just what you said, they put a call out maybe on Craigslist for heavenly voices and beatboxing that's how they got their group.
They sing from their soul and when that power resonates from their voices, it automatically connects with our emotions. That's Matt singing that beautiful bass.
Honestly, PTX might change your mind about Xmas music. Their latest (minus this video) release is Over the River featuring Lindsey Stirling and it's EPIC (promise it won't make you cry)! Lindsey, if you don't know, is an AMAZING violinist and Kevin plays cello in the song too. DEFINITELY worth a listen. Or if you want to bop along to something you don't think you should be able to bop along to try O Come All Ye Faithful. Their Mr Grinch is also amazing! Honestly....think of your LEAST favorite Xmas song....see if PTX has covered it and give it a go. I'd be very interested to hear what you think. :) Also, you're hilarious and a joy to watch!
I loved how in Over The River it was like they were sort of battling each other with how amazing they played with just enough touch of Irish/Scottish influence at the end. They both play magically!
PTX has plenty of lighthearted, upbeat music for you to react to, but when they set their minds to it they will break your heart. This is especially true when they do their pure five-part harmonies. Run To You Silent Night Light in the Hallway Dreams when the party's over Can't Help Falling in Love
This song gets to me differently every time I hear it. And as much as I love The Prayer, this song has taken over. And if you can find the video from their live concert in Newark NJ a few days ago, it will blow you away. They are in the New Jersey Devils arena, put their mikes down and sing this in a circle. You can hear a pin drop!
I think part of what you like about this song is the dissonance and resolution. The dissonance (when there sounds like a note might be wrong, scraping against another note) is meant to build tension, and the resolution of that dissonance gives a release and the listener relaxes. This song is chock full of dissonance and resolution, and it's just amazing. I almost feel tired after a song like this, it's so good.
I love your reactions. Thank you so much 😊 I totally get what you mean 😊 they give you chills and tugs on your heart. They have some happy fun songs too. Can’t hold us ❤️
I love your reactions to PTX. You seem so sincere with your commentary! I agree that they are one of a kind! They can sing anything and make it better!
Thank you for the reaction. They are amazing. I hope that you will watch the entire Pentatonix Christmas special on BYUtv. The entire special is incredible.
They do a cover of Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" that is also just them standing in a circle singing in beautiful harmony...no beat boxing, just amazing vocals.
You could watch the first episode of the Sing Off. It introduces them a bit. Mitch, Kirstie, and Scott were 19 when they chose to take a shot at making their music dream a reality, and found Avi and Kevin. From their very first performance on that program there was no doubt they were special.
I’ve always thought that they are actually singing this song to each other. They have a spiritual connection to each other, that transcends the mundane It’s why it’s so powerful, and why we feel it like they’re singing to us. They are the pinnacle of their profession, other bands aspire to, and emulate their greatness. Unfortunately for them, PTX doesn’t stop getting better, setting the bar even higher. That’s only good for all of us, because we get to hear others who would stand on their shoulders.
Watch their original: Run to You and Light In The Hallway! Both are intimate like this. Light in the Hallway Scott wrote for his nephew and he said he could hear Avi’s voice singing it. Enjoy!! Can’t wait to see it!!
Part of the "things they've gone through" : Mitch and Scott both dealt with anxiety issues and depression. Mitch was bullied in school for his "strange voice". All 3 dated in different combinations but still managed to stay friends after that. Superfruit tells about their dating history it in their video "future friends".
That story you want to hear about the start of PTX can be gotten on their intro to their 1st appearance on the competitive show Sing Off. That was their start. In a nutshell, Scott, Mitch and Kirstie have been together since high school, maybe Jr. High. Avi and Kevin were added just before their first competitive performance. Avi left in the 2016-17 time frame and Mitch stepped in. Yea, they are special in ways transcending explanation.
I really really love your reactions. Thank you so much for this 🎄🔥. They are simply brilliant. They transcend all musical genres One part of their magic is that they sincerely root for each other. There is a “beginners guide to Pentatonix” on UA-cam that might be fun for you to play Gives you the root story
Apparently, during their stage show (or one of them?) - they put down all mics and debuted this song on stage. Pure voice, no pizzazz, no showmanship - just simply singing
Loved your reaction! This is magical as you said. This song to me is very reminiscent of Run to You written by Avi and Kevin. Also love Can't Help Falling in Love with you.
Your reaction and analyzis is SPOT ON!!! I really enjoyed watching this! Did you know this was a live recording, and not studio? Check out their original The lucky ones. You wont need the tissues for that one, but it sums up their journey the past ten years beautifully ❤️
Home Free is releasing another new song today at 1 pm EST. Three in two weeks! "Christmas Ain't for the Lonely " Watched their livestream last night from the Ryman in Nashville. Of course, they were great. Luckily when they perform in Nashville a livestream is usually available. Usually one of the guys will be in the chat during the premiere.
Matt mayhem? I love your reactions. Keep them coming! Pentatonix goes all over the map, so have fun on your journey. You could try Havanna, Love Again, Paft Punk, Jolene, Royals, or Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Those all make my list of favorites.
It's pure perfection. These guys nailed every dang note and song ever. They are SOOOO tight. Their chemistry is unreal. It's joyoua to here them sing. Magic is right!! x
Thank you for another wonderful, insightful reaction! Looking forward to your PTX Bohemian Rhapsody reaction, too. I love the way you truly FEEL the music. Now I’m off to watch your Really Haunted reaction.
You should check out Little Drummer Boy. They do and amazing job! It was the first time I had heard a Pentatonix song, or even heard of the group, and it had me hooked.
I believe you can find the history of PTX on the following link!! I love your reactions! They're so raw, so organic, and real!!! And I love your dry sense of humor!! You're going to find a great many choices from here on and anything you do, you will adore!!! Can't wait to see more of you!
This is a beautiful song, love it. You want to hear Kevin and Avi....Daft Punk official and Bohemian Rhaspody official, can' t wait to see your face! And Christmas, there are so many. O come all ye faithful, upbeat you'll love it.
The three of us guys in the house had a rule.... Mom could NOT play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving and had to stop by New Year's Eve. Now I can listen to it all year long. Especially my A Capella Christmas Countdown list here on You Tube.
Magic, angels and aliens. It's the only explanation. I pretty much hated christmas music before I started listening to Pentatonix. Now I'm bopping around the house singing christmas songs with PTX. WHAT? Magic, angels and aliens. 🦄🐲✨👼🏻👽💚 Thanks for the amazing reaction as always! You need a dose of happy PTX song. Try "Sing" It's an original and so much fun, and fan interaction. Celebrity cameos too!
I don't know when Kirstin first met them, maybe the beginning of high school or maybe they did some community theater earlier; but Scott and Mitch have been singing together since age 10. And that is a big part of why PTX is so good, but of course it takes a massive talent to be able to sing together so well. And one of the keys to PTX success is that they all genuinely love each other, they clearly have joy in being together. This is the only band I've ever seen make a video where a departing member says goodbye and the love for him literally oozes out of it. I am sure this group will be together when they're 70. Some time check out the two guys in Superfruit which is not acapella but is just as stunning.You'll see them just being wacky friends and cutting up while making music...
This song was written just for this-- five part harmony acapella. Even half way decent voices is good. You give it outstanding voices and it becomes divine. There's a clip out there somewhere of Avi singing this with some of his Acapella Academy students. It's unrehearsed and they're just testing it out but you can tell the really special singers from the simply good ones because they get the feel of that harmony. You'll note please, these guys are singing with their eyes shut. They're not watching for visual clues for their timing, they're listening and feeling. When it's their turn to come in or break off most singers, especially duets watch the breathing and lip movements of their partners. These guys never miss a mark and they do it with their eyes closed. This isn't just talent, it's gifted.
That's Live?? That's Live!!!!! LMAO! "Mitch wins every ugly Christmas sweater contest this year"!!! Great quote! Magical, just purely magical! I agree all of them are very good and fun, but..these guys are Magic. OOOh nice term Pentamagic!! Love it! Yes we know what you mean...Great reaction man! Try an early EDM original "Love Again" or "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" you will never hear that song the same LOL.
The trio are very close. Scott and Kirstin always talk about how great Mitch's voice is. Mitch said his favorite songs on The Lucky Ones ( their second original album are two Kirstin wrote because her writing is so good. Scott posts throw back pictures on Kirstin's birthday of when they dated in high school and how much he loves her. ( He is gay but wasn't out then). They are posting some behind the scenes stuff from their tour on the official channel. They react to things as such a unit it is really funny.
Scott, Mitch and Kirstin, all were in High school together, They of course sang in school. So they have a special bond from that, when you been a team since your like 12/13 years old till now, they are a special kind of family
If you want to see them being “beautiful people” you should definitely check out their video from a week ago, Over The River. It’s like a model shoot. Also, the song is AMAZING.
Look, if you want to understand Pentatonix you need to see how they came to be. It is captured on UA-cam. Look up The Sing Off Season 3 Pentatonix performance videos. Start with week 1 and react to all of them one at a time. We will follow you as you go. We LOVE THIS!!!!
Their version of "Dancing on My Own" shows off the magical chemistry of the trio (Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie) with Keven cello-boxing. It was after Avi left (one of the hard times) and before Matt joined them. You'd probably really enjoy it. You are definitely right - there is magic with this group. I've been a fan since the beginning (10 years ago) but they still move me every. single. time.
I just love how you look like you're in pain or disgusted when it's just TOO BEAUTIFUL. As for the chemistry between Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch... fun fact; they have all dated each other in their youth! Not at the same time, but separately. There's a lot of information to be gleaned about them from Superfruit videos (could be a fun thing to do like a Story Time type thing. Non-music Superfruit videos.) I know there are Superfruit interviews out there too where Scott and Mitch talk a lot about their past and story, which inevitably brings in Kirstin and their friendship with her and forming the group.
What you are responding to is 5 part tight harmony from an emotionally attached and engaged group.
Just a little story about how they feel about each other…Upon winning the Sing Off, Kirstie was asked what the win meant to her. Without hesitation she replied that it means now the whole world can see how great MITCH really is! Pretty unselfish I would say….
I've watched interviews with the group and the interviewer asked who the best singer is and everyone pointed to Mitch. He would be pointing to either Kevin or Avi. Shawn Stockman called Kevin and Avi freaks of nature and the meat and potatoes of the group.
I remember seeing that; she said she was crying about it. I've always said Scott and Kirstie are Mitch's biggest fans and everyone else has to get in line behind them. 🙂
It is beautifly powerful.
Their 5 parts harmonies songs are always magical. You can watch Run to You. Its an original song
Always enjoy it when occasionally Kevin doesn't beatbox so they can do those wonderful 5 part harmonies.
yes! in fact the original version of this song inspired Run To You
Such a hauntingly beautiful song! 💖
8:26 I believe the Bass (Matt) is doing the Bass.
Kevin is assisting the higher notes, adding emphasis and creating dissonance.
You are right. Kevin is a tenor.
In my opinion there is not another group that arranges better than them, and probably no one better than them for a decade. They bring out emotions in listeners in ways that I have never seen, sorrow, joy, euphoria, melancholy, gratitude and many others. It usually turns them into Pentaholics and I don't think there is a cure.
They are a magical unicorn of a group that can sing in any style and genre. They make music that just seems to defy the laws of physics.
I got the pleasure of hearing this in concert in December of last year and they did it with no microphones in a completely sold out venue with like 20,000 people there and it was so amazing!

Love it. Please react to it

If you want to see something that will make your jaw drop (at least it did mine), please check out Scott's solo video of him doing a cover of "I should tell ya momma on ya (red cover)." He has such an amazing diversity to his talents! They are all so talented!
On 13:45 it's actually the 4 of them. And it's Matt doing the bass. Kevin is a tenor
In part of the song, all have their eyes closed. They are just feeling each other and it is just magical.
A fun video to watch and see the chemistry between Mitch, Scott and Kirsty is the UA-cam video of 'Superfruit' doing the Frozen medley. It really showcases how much fun the three friends have being together.
I loved that, I miss the silliness of Superfruit, but I guess they got too busy or outgrew it. Sad, but it happens. Still they did some great stuff on there. Like Defying Gravity etc
'thank you' from last Christmas album.
PentaMagic! I like that. The trio have known each other for over 20 years, they all went to high school together, and performed locally in musicals. Watch “The Beginner’s Guide to Pentatonix” and that may help. Love your reactions,❤️
I agree they have an amazing chemistry from knowing each other so long. I watched the videos of Pentacon Parents panel 2016 and 2018 and realised that the deep connections extended to their parents. I think Scott takes after his mother who seems to be a mother to them all, at least the trio at that stage. The group bonded so well with Kevin, and Matt's parents spoke of the warmth and inclusiveness they and Matt had experienced. I can't help feel they have something very special and unique that allows the group to grow and thrive. You can't fake something like that, the combined wisdom and support that they all give to each other. Added to the extreme talent they all have, it's something that isn't easily developed, it's just there.
Scott's mother, Connie, said that he always wants to bring out the best in everyone. He seems to thrive on developing and showcasing talent.
PTX is the best group EVER!!!!
They are real. That's what you can't comprehend.
The trio has been together since they were 8.
Just look at their views and you can tell how many people get it. Their views are astronomical, for that many people to get what they are putting out it's just astonishing. They are magical. And I think they did just what you said, they put a call out maybe on Craigslist for heavenly voices and beatboxing that's how they got their group.
They sing from their soul and when that power resonates from their voices, it automatically connects with our emotions. That's Matt singing that beautiful bass.
Honestly, PTX might change your mind about Xmas music. Their latest (minus this video) release is Over the River featuring Lindsey Stirling and it's EPIC (promise it won't make you cry)! Lindsey, if you don't know, is an AMAZING violinist and Kevin plays cello in the song too. DEFINITELY worth a listen. Or if you want to bop along to something you don't think you should be able to bop along to try O Come All Ye Faithful. Their Mr Grinch is also amazing! Honestly....think of your LEAST favorite Xmas song....see if PTX has covered it and give it a go. I'd be very interested to hear what you think. :) Also, you're hilarious and a joy to watch!
I loved how in Over The River it was like they were sort of battling each other with how amazing they played with just enough touch of Irish/Scottish influence at the end. They both play magically!
PTX has plenty of lighthearted, upbeat music for you to react to, but when they set their minds to it they will break your heart. This is especially true when they do their pure five-part harmonies.
Run To You
Silent Night
Light in the Hallway
Dreams
when the party's over
Can't Help Falling in Love
I heard PTX dropped this song and I waited for you to react… wow!!! You always bring your emotion… and so does PTX!!
This song gets to me differently every time I hear it. And as much as I love The Prayer, this song has taken over. And if you can find the video from their live concert in Newark NJ a few days ago, it will blow you away. They are in the New Jersey Devils arena, put their mikes down and sing this in a circle. You can hear a pin drop!
I think part of what you like about this song is the dissonance and resolution. The dissonance (when there sounds like a note might be wrong, scraping against another note) is meant to build tension, and the resolution of that dissonance gives a release and the listener relaxes. This song is chock full of dissonance and resolution, and it's just amazing. I almost feel tired after a song like this, it's so good.
I love your reactions. Thank you so much 😊 I totally get what you mean 😊 they give you chills and tugs on your heart. They have some happy fun songs too. Can’t hold us ❤️
Don’t forget, Scott, Kirsten and Mitch have been friends since they were 8 yrs old. ❤❤❤
You want to hear an AMAZING Christmas song from them? I know you'll LOVE their "O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL" - you'll be shocked! Its incredible!!!
PENTATONIX ROCKS!!! CHRISTMAS UNDER THE STARS was a special on BYUtv last week that PTX had
Carol of the Bells is a must! Also Can You Feel the Love Tonight-perfection ( as usual!)
Sauceydad's head: Home Free is my group
Sauceydad's heart: Pentatonix is my group
I love your reactions to PTX. You seem so sincere with your commentary! I agree that they are one of a kind! They can sing anything and make it better!
Thank you for the reaction. They are amazing. I hope that you will watch the entire Pentatonix Christmas special on BYUtv. The entire special is incredible.
They do a cover of Elvis's "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" that is also just them standing in a circle singing in beautiful harmony...no beat boxing, just amazing vocals.
You could watch the first episode of the Sing Off. It introduces them a bit. Mitch, Kirstie, and Scott were 19 when they chose to take a shot at making their music dream a reality, and found Avi and Kevin. From their very first performance on that program there was no doubt they were special.
I’ve always thought that they are actually singing this song to each other. They have a spiritual connection to each other, that transcends the mundane It’s why it’s so powerful, and why we feel it like they’re singing to us. They are the pinnacle of their profession, other bands aspire to, and emulate their greatness. Unfortunately for them, PTX doesn’t stop getting better, setting the bar even higher. That’s only good for all of us, because we get to hear others who would stand on their shoulders.
They hit a piece of my soul that is rarely touched and I end up in tears every time
Watch their original: Run to You and Light In The Hallway! Both are intimate like this. Light in the Hallway Scott wrote for his nephew and he said he could hear Avi’s voice singing it. Enjoy!! Can’t wait to see it!!
Part of the "things they've gone through" : Mitch and Scott both dealt with anxiety issues and depression. Mitch was bullied in school for his "strange voice". All 3 dated in different combinations but still managed to stay friends after that. Superfruit tells about their dating history it in their video "future friends".
That story you want to hear about the start of PTX can be gotten on their intro to their 1st appearance on the competitive show Sing Off. That was their start. In a nutshell, Scott, Mitch and Kirstie have been together since high school, maybe Jr. High. Avi and Kevin were added just before their first competitive performance. Avi left in the 2016-17 time frame and Mitch stepped in. Yea, they are special in ways transcending explanation.
they do it with a great voice and lots and lots of practice .
Matt is the bass. This is incredible.
Hey Love 💗. They’ve made many, many reactors cry. Your not alone. 😢😢❤❤❤
I really really love your reactions. Thank you so much for this 🎄🔥. They are simply brilliant. They transcend all musical genres
One part of their magic is that they sincerely root for each other. There is a “beginners guide to Pentatonix” on UA-cam that might be fun for you to play
Gives you the root story
I’ve goosebumps every. In fact it’s very nearly got me crying 😢😢😢😢😢❤❤💔🤷♀️🥃❤️🇬🇧
And you thought 4 minutes was going to be too long. 😂😂😂. Never long enough with PTX. Pure vocals. Five friends singing. Magical
Apparently, during their stage show (or one of them?) - they put down all mics and debuted this song on stage. Pure voice, no pizzazz, no showmanship - just simply singing
It is such a lovely touch of the heart. Truly lovely. Don't worry about talking to much, it was worth it.
I highly recommend Run to you. Chills, tears, slapped and manhandled!!
They just slay me on this one. The harmonies are fire
When you said the PTX video is 4:19, I looked at your video at 19 plus minutes and thought “uh oh, buckle up”. 😂
Loved your reaction! This is magical as you said. This song to me is very reminiscent of Run to You written by Avi and Kevin. Also love Can't Help Falling in Love with you.
SAUCY! Pentamagic!!!
LOVE IT and your reactions!😃
If you haven't reacted to their version of Silent Night. You MUST!!! You'll hear chemistry. Raw and acoustic as you say
Amazing reaction. Thank you!!!
Your reaction and analyzis is SPOT ON!!! I really enjoyed watching this! Did you know this was a live recording, and not studio?
Check out their original The lucky ones. You wont need the tissues for that one, but it sums up their journey the past ten years beautifully ❤️
You’re a Fab reactor & They are simply PenTaBulous❣️😉🤙🏼
I aw Peyer Barber,say that ptx grabs him by the emotional nards every time. Always liked that.
Home Free is releasing another new song today at 1 pm EST. Three in two weeks! "Christmas Ain't for the Lonely " Watched their livestream last night from the Ryman in Nashville. Of course, they were great. Luckily when they perform in Nashville a livestream is usually available. Usually one of the guys will be in the chat during the premiere.
I just love your reactions! They are funny, poserful, raw emotions and so on point.
They are so powerful ....
Matt mayhem?
I love your reactions. Keep them coming! Pentatonix goes all over the map, so have fun on your journey. You could try Havanna, Love Again, Paft Punk, Jolene, Royals, or Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Those all make my list of favorites.
It's pure perfection. These guys nailed every dang note and song ever. They are SOOOO tight. Their chemistry is unreal. It's joyoua to here them sing. Magic is right!! x
This song is on their new Christmas album, which is titled Evergreen.
Thank you for another wonderful, insightful reaction! Looking forward to your PTX Bohemian Rhapsody reaction, too. I love the way you truly FEEL the music. Now I’m off to watch your Really Haunted reaction.
You should check out Little Drummer Boy. They do and amazing job! It was the first time I had heard a Pentatonix song, or even heard of the group, and it had me hooked.
How do you not have more subs?
Mitch doesn't gaf about his style, and I LOVE it
I believe you can find the history of PTX on the following link!! I love your reactions! They're so raw, so organic, and real!!! And I love your dry sense of humor!! You're going to find a great many choices from here on and anything you do, you will adore!!! Can't wait to see more of you!
If you don't mind a little spoiler, you might check out Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix.
Here is a fresh video explaining Pentatonix (without their music): What You Don't Know About Pentatonix ua-cam.com/video/4zkD0j926kA/v-deo.html
This is a beautiful song, love it. You want to hear Kevin and Avi....Daft Punk official and Bohemian Rhaspody official, can' t wait to see your face! And Christmas, there are so many. O come all ye faithful, upbeat you'll love it.
I love your reactions, Saucey Dad. There are times I reach out to the screen to lift your chin from the floor!
The three of us guys in the house had a rule.... Mom could NOT play Christmas music until after Thanksgiving and had to stop by New Year's Eve. Now I can listen to it all year long. Especially my A Capella Christmas Countdown list here on You Tube.
Magic, angels and aliens. It's the only explanation. I pretty much hated christmas music before I started listening to Pentatonix. Now I'm bopping around the house singing christmas songs with PTX. WHAT?
Magic, angels and aliens. 🦄🐲✨👼🏻👽💚
Thanks for the amazing reaction as always! You need a dose of happy PTX song. Try "Sing" It's an original and so much fun, and fan interaction. Celebrity cameos too!
Sing is my favorite
I love the Pentamagic tag.
My thoughts exactly.
I don't know when Kirstin first met them, maybe the beginning of high school or maybe they did some community theater earlier; but Scott and Mitch have been singing together since age 10. And that is a big part of why PTX is so good, but of course it takes a massive talent to be able to sing together so well. And one of the keys to PTX success is that they all genuinely love each other, they clearly have joy in being together. This is the only band I've ever seen make a video where a departing member says goodbye and the love for him literally oozes out of it. I am sure this group will be together when they're 70.
Some time check out the two guys in Superfruit which is not acapella but is just as stunning.You'll see them just being wacky friends and cutting up while making music...
This song was written just for this-- five part harmony acapella. Even half way decent voices is good. You give it outstanding voices and it becomes divine. There's a clip out there somewhere of Avi singing this with some of his Acapella Academy students. It's unrehearsed and they're just testing it out but you can tell the really special singers from the simply good ones because they get the feel of that harmony.
You'll note please, these guys are singing with their eyes shut. They're not watching for visual clues for their timing, they're listening and feeling. When it's their turn to come in or break off most singers, especially duets watch the breathing and lip movements of their partners. These guys never miss a mark and they do it with their eyes closed. This isn't just talent, it's gifted.
That's Live?? That's Live!!!!! LMAO! "Mitch wins every ugly Christmas sweater contest this year"!!! Great quote! Magical, just purely magical! I agree all of them are very good and fun, but..these guys are Magic. OOOh nice term Pentamagic!! Love it! Yes we know what you mean...Great reaction man! Try an early EDM original "Love Again" or "Oh Come all Ye Faithful" you will never hear that song the same LOL.
The trio are very close. Scott and Kirstin always talk about how great Mitch's voice is. Mitch said his favorite songs on The Lucky Ones ( their second original album are two Kirstin wrote because her writing is so good. Scott posts throw back pictures on Kirstin's birthday of when they dated in high school and how much he loves her. ( He is gay but wasn't out then). They are posting some behind the scenes stuff from their tour on the official channel. They react to things as such a unit it is really funny.
They have a documentary from 2015 Pentatonix: On My Way Home, this one has Avi in it and there are rumors of another one being made
Scott, Mitch and Kirstin, all were in High school together, They of course sang in school. So they have a special bond from that, when you been a team since your like 12/13 years old till now, they are a special kind of family
this is from the tv specail and is on the christmas album evergreen
If you want to see them being “beautiful people” you should definitely check out their video from a week ago, Over The River. It’s like a model shoot. Also, the song is AMAZING.
Look, if you want to understand Pentatonix you need to see how they came to be. It is captured on UA-cam. Look up The Sing Off Season 3 Pentatonix performance videos. Start with week 1 and react to all of them one at a time. We will follow you as you go. We LOVE THIS!!!!
Scott and Mitch met when they were 10 years old. There are loads of interviews on UA-cam.
At least your wife will thank you endlessly when you introduce her to some of these Christmas songs, or any of their songs for that matter!
Their version of "Dancing on My Own" shows off the magical chemistry of the trio (Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie) with Keven cello-boxing. It was after Avi left (one of the hard times) and before Matt joined them. You'd probably really enjoy it.
You are definitely right - there is magic with this group. I've been a fan since the beginning (10 years ago) but they still move me every. single. time.
You are absolutely right! The original “Trio” starts this song & Matt & Kevin add so much beautiful layering. It is pure magic!
I just love how you look like you're in pain or disgusted when it's just TOO BEAUTIFUL.
As for the chemistry between Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch... fun fact; they have all dated each other in their youth! Not at the same time, but separately. There's a lot of information to be gleaned about them from Superfruit videos (could be a fun thing to do like a Story Time type thing. Non-music Superfruit videos.) I know there are Superfruit interviews out there too where Scott and Mitch talk a lot about their past and story, which inevitably brings in Kirstin and their friendship with her and forming the group.
Non video comment but I love your avatar. Big Star Wars fan!
@@rachelc.9570 Thanks! Me too (of course) It's a pin on one of my jackets. Pride of the resistance!
Same guys we are a bunch of SW fangirls here i guess
I call my daughter baby chewie because she got my husband's Italian genes
Sauceydad, you should check out Home Free’s Warmest Winter. It was written by Austin and it is one of the most beautiful and special Christmas songs.
Dude! Don't you recognize Unicorns when you see/hear them? Perfection.
