Pentatonix is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying (baritone), Mitch Grassi (tenor), Kirstin Maldonado (alto), Kevin Olusola (vocal percussion and vocals), and Matt Sallee (bass). Characterized by their pop-style arrangements with vocal harmonies, basslines, riffing, percussion, and beatboxing, they produce cover versions of modern pop works or Christmas songs, sometimes in the form of medleys, along with original material. Pentatonix formed in 2011 and subsequently won the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off, receiving $200,000 and a recording contract with Sony Music.

react to jacob collier moon river is so cool
Please look into their work on Toddrick Hall's straight out of Oz. So groovy!
Listen to their 90s medley. It´s awesome!!!
Still gives me goosies...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽
Wait for it... You just got "Mitch slapped"!!!
Pentatonix knows how to do Christmas songs right love that band way to go Pentatonix
I agree.
Be aware that Avi Kaplan, the second soloist on this piece, left PTX at the end of 2017. It was amicable. Since late 2017, the bass is an energetic, gifted singer by the name of Matt Sallee!
He’s great but I sure do miss avi I’m glad they didn’t remake some of the songs that are on the 2023 Christmas cd. Like hallelujah and all those songs when avi was still in the group.
I love Mitch and her voice. This is my favorite song by one of my favorite singing groups. Mitch doing bohemian rhapsody is amazing
Yes that was a great one. I did that one on my channel.
As a bass singer yourself, I think you might really appreciate Avi Kaplan’s solo music. ‘Change on the Rise’ is a good start but there are many others that showcase his amazing voice and range. Try ‘Black is the Colour of My True Love’s Hair’ with Peter Hollens. You will be blown even further away!
Thanks Shirley, I’ll check it out.
Listen to Avi he is great
it's my absolute favorite !! you have to hear their version of Imagine, Sound of Siilence and Bohemian Rhapsody !! fantastic
Agreed. I love seeing reactions to their version of Bohemian Rhapsody, Mitch is amazing
I absolutely love Pentatonix. They have very strong arrangements and they are so good at highlighting each other. Thank you for your reaction and thoughts on this video.
You are the first person I've seen that has reacted to this song that didn't get too lost in what Mitch was doing to appreciate how well Avi and the others were hitting the background for that section 😂
Thanks Chris I appreciate the kind words.
I envy you being at the beginning of your exploration of PTX! You have months of enjoyment before you!!! Happy New Year! Try 'Havana'.
This is one of the best ever!!! Pentatonix - Mary, Did You Know? (Official Video)
You need to see The Prayer
Yes he does!!!
Ditto that
Thanks for the reaction. I hope you react to more Pentatonix songs.
Another one coming tomorrow. Thanks for the comment.
They all have incredible ranges which allows them to switch up. Baritone Scott sings bass while bass Avi sings.
Omg I love scott voice and avi voice kinda low Kristen love it she's rock harmony together amazing mitch voice spot on love his alto voice sound more like a cry love it way to go mitch love that song
Their version of Imagine is so amazing. It fills you with hope, and despair for the current state of the world, but ultimately hope... You can't keep a dry eye... It's amazing and Kevin's voice is so soft.
They are all amazing.
I’ll check it out. Thanks Squiffilect!
Everytime someone reacts to this Mr Cohen smiles. 😇
The reason the background sounds different when someone sings a solo is because the person singing the solo is no longer in the background. Good ear!!
Thanks Dorthey!
I enjoy the musical notes you highlighted in PTX songs.
The brimmed hat singer has a spiritual voice.
I listen to this every day. I love them and home free. No instruments
3 of them began their music careers in TX high school together.
Thank you for reacting. Love PTX! My suggestions for more reactions are, Mary Did You Know and The Sound Of Silence. Great harmonies and arrangements. Shows ranges of individuals in The Sound Of Silence. There is one that is a must see featuring Kevin Olusola in cover of Down (Marian Hill KOver). Just to see a portion of the talent this guy has. He beatboxes, cello boxes, loops, plays piano, sax (was classically trained in cello and sax and played Carnage Hall with both instruments.) He sings, was in premed at Yale, studied in China and is fluent in Mandarin. Watch his video...it is amazing. Looking forward to more PTX. This video of Down only shows Kevin's talent for cello, singing, some beatboxing, and looping.
Hey Louella, Thanks for the kind words. Your suggestion sounds pretty interesting and I can't wait to check that one out. Thanks for watching!
I'm surprised that Pentaholics haven't jumped onto your reaction yet. They will come. This video is epic, visually and aurally. I think that the stars of the show are the background vocals.
It didn't show up in search for me, I only found it through his reaction to The Prayer
Hiiii. Present lol
Just found it. I arrived.
Better late than never.
Here now
Great reaction! One of my favorites, wait, they’re all my favorite!!
Excellent Reaction, Thank you 😊
This is a masterpiece for sure. Pure Pentatonix Perfection and A Capella at it's best. This was my first PTX music video. I can tell you when and where I was when I first saw it. I had never heard of them and I was just amazed. I had so many thoughts and questions. Who is that first guy with the voice so textured? Who is that second guy with the voice so warm? Listen to that lady so clear and sharp. Who is that guy in the hat? Listen to that voice and look at the expression on his face. What is that guy doing beating his chest and stomping? Listen to the harmonies. The humming. The call and response. The crescendo. Well......down the rabbit hole I went, and without a moment of regret. PTX has been entertaining and educational in so many ways. More PTX reactions please - only about 200 to do - originals and covers - studio recordings and live versions.
Love your thoughts on this great song, Coach.....it's like, angels that came down from Heaven to sing praises to God.....absolutely love this group!
Thanks for the kind words Carlyle!
Thanks for sharing. You cant go wrong with any PTX video you choose next so I'll just sit back and see which one you pick.Have a great holiday season and stay safe.
Your the first reactor who mentions Avi's base run during Mitch's solo part. I especially appreciate the location. And the jackets are needed. I used to live in the high desert near Edwards Air Force Base, just east of Mojave, Calif. Great setting and even better voices and performances.
Thanks Phil! I tend to gravitate to the basses since I am a bass myself. Sounds like a cool place to live.
They did a behind the scenes video of this piece, and the jackets were most definitely not needed. Apparently, it was almost 100 degrees out. But because they were including it on their Christmas album they needed it to look cold.
@@elizabethfelet4743 Thanks, Elizabeth. I lived just north of there for a lot of years and thought it was winter since it was a Christmas album. It does get cold in the desert. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
This is NOT a christmas song. It's a song of love and loss written by a Jewish man.
They are special ☀️
💕💕💕 ***************SOMETIMES, THERE IS JUST NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH*************** 💕💕💕 Really loved your raw & emotional reaction!
Thanks!
I appreciate your assessment of their talents.
I can understand your words. Thank you.
This has become my favorite version of this song.
I loved your insights Bob. You hit the starts and stops together too. I was just a pinch disappointed that you didn't comment on the Talent of the beat manK.O. He's a genius and his sounds are the cherry on the sundae. He's a wonderful Cellist oo. They are all so talented.
You are so right and I called that out in another Pentatonix video I did. He is an unsung hero in their group. Thanks!
Love all their stuff so far. I love hearing and seeing so many different yet agreeable comments. The Sound of Silence. Mary did you know? Are two awesome ptx favorites also just saw tonight they did some Christmas songs all their stuff rocks. Great hearing your thoughts being a band teacher, Scott, Mitch and Kirsten were in choir in school. As I think, they got on the Sing Off competition but had ti be at least five members. They picked up a i and Kevin. Both raised them higher than thought was possible
Thanks Karen I appreciate the comments and the info you shared.
Great reaction. I hope you take the same approach with your class as you do with the channel, as I think it really fosters thoughtful, and positive examination of music. Good stuff.
I’m the same guy with my students, my family and this channel. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Review this: Home Free - Ring of Fire (featuring Avi Kaplan of Pentatonix) [Johnny Cash Cover]
They bring me back to church...and I left at 18. Never looked back, but musice like this makes me miss the singing.
Interesting to note that Mitch, Kirstin and Scott were all classmates in Arlington, TX, from grade school and junior high. They just seem to be so in touch with each other as they perform. How great for us fans that such incredible voices came together almost serendipitously to give us one of the finest a cappella groups in history.
Thanks John!
@@bobcieslinski Hi Bob. I think another Pentatonix performance you may not decide to critique, but will have a ball watching, is “My Favorite Things.” Finally, give a listen to “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” I don’t have a piano close to check it, but I’d swear Mitch slides up into an F#5. Why not? After all, he has a six octave vocal range!
Thanks for your reviews. I really enjoy them.
@@johnpruitt7003 thanks so much John!
Try The Prayer and Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone! Breath taking!
I love this band! I really like their version of Making Christmas. It's even in my playlist.
Goosebumps right??
Yep
Each person could have a good solo career, but together they make magic.
Good reaction, I would suggest headphones for PTX & all acapela groups... you will enjoy it much, much more.
Thanks BR Shep for thr suggestion. I normally wear my AirPods but down the road I will be debuting some new Audio Technicas.
Daft punk and bohemian Rhapsody
They take you on a journey!
I didn't look through to see if anyone else mentioned this or not, but it's been reported that Leonard Cohen heard this two or three weeks before he passed away and said it was his most favorite cover of this song. Pretty high praise!
I love how they show dude hitting his chest for the beat and reverberation
Randomly got sent here, love that you understand blend and theory +1
You are great!
Thanks!
Check out their Sound of Silence video
I think that this former teacher is very very proud of the development of his pupils.
I like to watch and hear and I feel a bit of envy (not a bad or mean one) that I don't have a potential of my own voice to express what I feel.
Well it's a sad song so I don't know about making you feel good inside but it is outstanding in arrangement and talent. I cry everytime.
If this doesn't make u emotional then you're a robot
Thanks for the reaction! When I saw you're a band teacher it occurred to me this would be a great arrangement to adapt for brass quintet!
If you give it a go I hope you upload a video of it :-)
You are totally right. Nice call. Not sure if I have the time to arrange that. We’ll see.
One of my favorites of PTX
I wish to learn some vocals coz I love music so much
They recently released My Heart With You. I think you’d really love it.
Thanks Stacey I’ll check it out.
I love that hat.
Please watch Beginners Guide to Pentatonix. You will learn all about the Group.
Next up should be Amazing Grace by PTX if you haven't heard it yet!
Thanks Michael! I have not. I’ll add it to the list.
Hey you have to hear “Mary Did You Know” by Pentatonix
The shine on
Hallelujah is not a Christmas song. It's about the loss of love.
Thanks!
Cohen heard it before he past away (RIP) and said it was the best cover he´d ever heard of his song.
Lol
Some say they are still walking in that desert to this day.
Waiting for the Mitchslap 😆
Mr Cohen's favourite arrangement of his song too
The author of this song heard them sing this shortly before he died . he commented that THIS was the best rendition that he had heard
You don't even know the Name of the Songwriter,the Great Leonard Cohen . He was sitting in the Audience when kd lang sang It at the Canadian Music Hall of Fame back in 2006. He gave her a Standing Ovation and later stated that she now OWNED the Song,because she is the ONLY One to Sing It like It should be Sung.
He also asked the Canadian Olympic Committee to have her sing It at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 instead of Him.
These guys sing It like a Church Hymn,which Cohen never intended It to be portrayed .
Listen to kd's version to understand why Cohen gave her that Standing Ovation in 2006 and Ownership of the Song.
Hallelujah isn’t a Christmas song. Also, not a religious song. Still an amazing song. This is one of my fave PTX songs.
GREAT job...this is the first reaction of Pentatonix that I've seen from you, but you seemed to know who they are...have you done other reactions ??
I also noticed that you have a few guitars in the background...I would love to have you react to the planet's greatest guitarist...MARCIN, a 20-year old from Poland. He has a number of great videos, but I would suggest you start with "Still D.R.E." only because it shows off his crazy skills. Others: Kashmir (Led Zeppelin); "Master of Puppets"; "Fly Me to the Moon"; et. al. Also, another singer, who just may be the best on the planet is Haley Reinhart, covering "Creep" on PostModern Jukebox.
Hey Nick I've only done 2 Pentatonix so far. I'm going to do another one in a couple of weeks because the subs voted for it in the community feed. I do have some basses in the background along with my saxes and my digital piano. You can't see it but I also have my son's drumset and a nice practice marimba on the other side of the room. Those suggestions sound pretty cool, I will add them to the list. Thanks for the kind words and for watching and commenting!
Need to listen to Amazing Grace, Sound of Silence. Thre are harmonies in Amazing Grace (especially one cord, I'll let you figure it out) that are truly amazing.
Thanks for the suggestions Keith!
Just before he died Leonard Cohen heard this cover and gave it high praise when said that this was the best version of the song he had ever heard, including his own.
A while back I mentioned to my daughter that I loved the song 'Mary Did You Know,' by Kenny Rogers and Winona Judd. She said that, while she liked their version, she liked Pentatonix better. I love both versions, but that was my introduction to Pentatonix. I have never heard a song of theirs that I did not love. Please listen to Mary Did You Know. You may want to do it by yourself; for me it was a spiritual experience and it still is. Or, maybe you want to analyze it to publicly, totally up to you. I just found your channel, and I really enjoy it
Thanks Megan, I appreciate the kind words and thanks for the suggestion!
Here for the Mitch slap and the base of Avi
Look into Sound of Silence by Pentatonix
Pentaholic here fun fact Kevin’s cellos name is Beyoncé and also it originally was Kristin Mitch and Scott who were childhood friends who was the original group but they needed 5 members for sing off competition so that day of the competition they added Kevin and avi and now matt is the newest bass
Thanks for thr info Joker.
I'm not seeing it on your Pentatonix Reactions playlist, but if you haven't, I'd check out their version of John Lennon's "Imagine."
Thanks I haven’t done that one yet.
You should listen and react to "Sinful Passion" by Dimash Quadibergen. He is the GOAT. You will be amazed by his vocal skills and capabilities. It will leave you speechless. It's a live performance. I promise you will be amazed.
Leonard Cohen sings his words so well if gives everyone an opportunity to Praise.
👋 👋
Hey Bob really enjoying your reaction/analysis videos, especially your Dirty Loops offerings and would like to suggest a new group/genre to react to. I have become a big fan of Nightwish and would like to request their live track Ghost Love Score from Wacken 2013, satisfaction guaranteed! Cheers
Hey Brew Swillis, love the name. It's coming out next Tuesday, I hope you check it out. Thanks for the suggestions and for the kind words!
@@bobcieslinski Can't wait!
CLASIC PTX upgrade to earlier versions. Never tire of hearing it.
Yep, you definitely got Mitch slapped which means his voice really hits you
You need to The Prayer
By the way, its not “The” Pentatonix. It’s just PENTATONIX!
You need better headphones if you want to properly listen to Pentatonix (and probably most songs). Also when you pause you should back up a couple seconds before restarting.
Hey Jeffery thanks for all of thr comments. My new videos I am using headphones. Check them out and thanks!
The crazy thing about ptx is they sound just as good live. Normally you would at least a little drop off from the production songs but they sound exactly the same live.
Wow that is the true test of a great singer. How do they sound live. Amazing they sound that good live. I’ll have to check them out live. Thanks!
Im looking thoroughly for the word you called them that in the daft punk vid you said you wouldnt say lmao
I never called them anything but people believed I did.
@@bobcieslinski Nonono I dont mean that in a bad way. In the daft punk video towards the end, you said you called them something that you'll never say again. Ill see if I can get you a timestamp. Im sorry if that came across the wrong way.
@@bobcieslinski I stand corrected, it was towards the beginning starting at 2:54
React to Imagine next
Damn, Leonard Cohen was a hell of a songwriter!
Please react to Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Prayer.
I’ve done Bohemian Rhapsody you should check it out.
that last chord is..........hhhoooolllyyyy fffuuuuuudge
For sure Erik.
It’s had over half a billion listens
Wow
Your comment about starting and stopping together is spot on, but if you listen to Home Free and Helplessly Hoping I think you will agree it is a master class. X
Both groups are incredible Sam! They just are so skilled and it shows In Their music.
This song is the opposite of Christmas tho, if you listen to the lyrics and know the stories from the Bible, its kinda dark.
Yep I found out from some other people about that. Still a beautiful song. Thanks !
Actually, this is not a xmas song!
