This was the video and song that made them world-wide superstars. They had booked professional studio time to record the song, but the booking fell thru at the last minute. So they recorded the song in a bedroom closet. Then they shot the video in Avi & Kevin's kitchen with a shooting budget of $400 (not counting post-production and editing, which was also on a shoestring budget). The result? The video goes super-viral, they win their first Grammy Award, and they graduate from recording for the tiny Madison Gate Records label all the way up to the major RCA label. And the rest is history!
I am loving your heartfelt reactions, and sharing your deep appreciation of their talent. They have done a series of "Evolution" videos that are one-take wonders, much like "Gold." My favourite is "Evolution of Michael Jackson." I bet you'll love it.
Love your reactions! As someone else mentioned, you so obviously and genuinely enjoy what you are hearing and seeing that your joy is contagious. Thank you!
Yes, they won their first Grammy for that. I believe it was the first time a Grammy was awarded to a group that started out on UA-cam. You said Mitch's solo was the most beautiful part. If you liked that you might love his recent solo of "Your Power" ua-cam.com/video/P95ceeYSEBo/v-deo.html
Daft Punk was a French electronic music duo. They recently split up. This is a mashup of their songs Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Television Rules the Nation, and Around the World.
@@ninij9692 That may have been a very early live performance at a small venue (maybe a college) where they were doing "Hey Momma / Hit the Road, Jack", and Avi hit a low note that fried the system. Kevin started chasing him (in jest, of course) off the stage. ua-cam.com/video/eeHRokYRVms/v-deo.html
Avi also did a number to the house speakers at The Star Vista in Singapore at the spot in "Aha!" where Mitch gets down on all fours. He did enough damage from that low note that the system was unable to properly handle his voice and some of Kevin's beatboxing throughout the rest of the show.
I know exactly what you mean about the reward. There are some songs that you can appreciate from the jump, but that you get so much more out of if you wait until you have a better understanding of exactly what they're doing. There are so many reactors, for instance, that watch this one believing they are augmented somehow. Another one like it is the Aha! Live in Singapore. I hate when people rec it to brand new PTX viewers because they get hung up on the cellphone video quality or that the person who took the video didn't pan to members besides Mitch. But if you wait, then it's all about how even with bad quality sound they sound THAT GOOD... and how freaking crazy amazing Avi and Mitch are in that particular performance. You're almost ready for Aha! but do a few more first 😉 As a fellow Mitch appreciator, you won't regret it. I'd probably put off the solo stuff a little longer too, if I were you. You still have so much of PTX's greatness as a group before delving into the side-projects where they explore their other musical interests. Though Superfruit, man. If you like the dance-y stuff you'll love Superfruit.
I keep thinking about... When this showed up on the list for Grammy consideration, did the other nominees, not knowing who PTX was, checked it out. Were they as blown away as much as we were? Were they a bit afraid? Did they see their chances of winning evaporating? I checked out and listened to a bit of each of the other nominees. None were a cappella.
Love your reactions! I think you are ready for Aha Singapore Live (ua-cam.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/v-deo.html) It's known as their best live performance ever. Mitch goes CRAZY with the high notes and Avi hits such low notes he starts to break the speakers! Kevin is offstage at the beginning. He comes on but the camera is already zoomed in on Mitch so you dont see him. (mentioning this because almost every reactor asks where Kevin is!)
I’m going out on a limb here making this statement not knowing exactly for sure if I’m right. But I have watched this video from reactors I think at least 100 times, because it’s my favorite by pentatonic. So here I go… be watched them a year and I have never seen any of the five of them blink. They’ve got those horrible contacts that certainly were not fitted for their eyes and color contacts if you have a stimatism in either eyes they are so bad for that optometrist will not make them for you. Mitch was wearing glasses at the end. What are his issues? Avis eyes were red all around the rims of his eye. Kristin had that makeup all around the edges of her eyes. Kevin I think is the beat boxer that has the visor on that we can’t see and the guy 2ith the frosted hair is in the front place in the video so many times and I never saw him blink. I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but if someone stares at you into a camara for 6 minutes without blinking they get your attention. Am I wrong someone? Someone let me know. If they didn’t that was a great feat in itself because of the contacts that were probably burning their eyes.
So you are in the PTX rabbit hole. About time to venture into the squirrel's nest known as Home Free (a lot of nutz in there). Don't quit PTX, just add Home Free. Two good ones to start with are End of the Road and Man of Constant Sorrow.

Insaneee! It turned out perfect though!

I think you can officially be called a Pentaholic. Love the reactions 💕🎶🎶🎶🎶🦋
Thanks thanks thanks so much! 💖
I like that you react like the rest of us mere mortals when we encounter the incredible PTX.
lol PTX really is incredible. If you enjoy music then this has to be the kind of reaction you get from watching them lol
Awesome reaction! This is such a great video and it is so fun watching someone seeing it for the first time!
Thanks!!!! I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!
Nobody is ready the first time. 🤣 Great reaction-thank you for sharing it with us. ☮️

Your Power is amazing!
Great reaction. Wow! They won a Grammy for this one. It shows their artistry and talent.
Thanks! Yeah they absolutely deserved it.
Great reaction. Thanks. Glad that you enjoyed their Grammy winning song. More Pentatonix please.
Thanks a lot! Thanks for watching. Definitely more PTX on the way. Soooo much more!

Technologic,
One More Time,
Get Lucky,
Digital Love,
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,
Television Rules the Nation, and Around the World.
Yeah it was a sad day for music fans to see them split up but they accomplished a lot. PTX did an amazing job with this mashup
One of the greatest bass performances. Just listen to Avi one time through, and you'll see what I mean.
I saw a video of him busting stage speakers. 😳😖😳 I believe it's still here on UA-cam.

I totally agree with everything you said. Yeah I can definitely appreciate them no matter the quality as long as the talent is there!
90s Dance Medley & Havana
I made a reaction to 90s dance Medley. That song is on a next level of greatness! I haven't heard Havana though. I'll add it to my list. Thanks!
Great reaction! I love all of your reactions! Keep it going!
Thanks so much. Thanks for watching! ❤❤❤

you want to hear them sing this live in a dressing room its amazing you can find it on here
oh cool! I'll look that up. Thanks!
I love your reactions! A lot of reactors sound so disingenuous. You can tell you are sincerely enjoying the songs ☺️
I agree💯
It's like watching fireworks...
Your right!!!
You are getting better and better at doing your reactions. Please confirm you got my email with the full PTX song list.
Good reaction.
Thanks!!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

Ok so mitch recently posted a cover on his channel you should go check it out. Its beautiful
If your speaking about the "Your Power" cover I cant wait to watch that one! I heard it was amazing!
Yeah I couldn't remember what it was called at the time 🤷♀️ but that's the one 😁
So you are in the PTX rabbit hole. About time to venture into the squirrel's nest known as Home Free (a lot of nutz in there). Don't quit PTX, just add Home Free. Two good ones to start with are End of the Road and Man of Constant Sorrow.
Yeah i'ts definitely almost time for Home Free
