#pentatonix #lindseystirling #imaginedragonscover
This is one of PTX's few instrumental collaborations. Lindsey became famous at first for her dub-step violin music and this gave Kevin (their beatboxer) a chance to play his cello (Beyonce) to provide much of the bass while beatboxing, a skill that got him noticed when they were forming. Avi (their bass) was pretty subdued in this performance, he usually stands out more. He has since left their group to work on individual music. Kirstin and Mitch both usually shine more, both taking the highs while providing lead, fill-in and background with Scott (one of the 3 leads). Their music portfolio is at LEAST as deep as Voiceplay and you will find that MANY fans of PTX (called Pentaholics) are also Voicplay fans as well as Home Free (a country acapella group who's fans are Home Fries) and they will lead you to each other.
Thanks for another great reaction! Yes, Pentatonix has had a couple collaborations with Lindsey Stirling and I love this cover better than the original. Kevin is amazing as he beatboxes while playing the cello (calls it celloboxing) as Layne Stein from Voice Play beatboxes while playing the violin (I would love to see a collaboration of Kevin from Pentatonix "celloboxing" with Layne from Voice Play playing violin and beatboxing but it is unlikely with Pentatonix demanding contract and touring schedule). Easier for Voice Play to have featured guests as they are completely independent by choice for complete control of all aspects of production and Pentatonix has had a more difficult record label/contract with SME ( hoping that Pentatonix can eventually make an easy transition out of contract demands as they have families now and are so talented and well known they could do well going independent). You would enjoy doing more Pentatonix reactions but may have to get creative with screens and covers to avoid copyright strikes and blocks due to their contract but don't give up on them. Voice Play does a Imagine Dragons cover of "Warriors" with both J None and Layne playing violins that you would love.
Uh.... Lindsey didn't sing a single note in this video. Not sure what video you watched. Did you notice "cello dude" was also beatboxing continuously thru the video, while playing the cello?
I think he was confusing Kirstie with Lindsey. Both of them dark-haired in this video.
While Lyndsey does sing beautifully as seen in some of the videos on her channel, she did not sing in this video at all. As others have said, Kirstie was the one singing, and she is a member of Pentatonix. There are plenty of great PTX songs that have outstanding bass if that's what you're looking for - both with Avi, their original bass and Matt, their current bass. I would say check out Hallelujah to hear more of Avi and Sounds of Silence to hear Matt's bass.
Kirstie (part of the trio - Scott, Mitch, Kirstie) was the female singing, not Lindsey. Lindsey does have a beautiful voice though, as you will hear if you go more into her catalog of music. Avi's bass was very subdued in this, but he does have some hella bass lines in other tracks, I think I saw someone mention Hallelujah.... definitely a good one for some Avi bass and Sound of Silence is a really good one for some Matt bass.
And since you've already checked out Pentatonix and Voice Play, I highly recommend you give Home Free a listen. I'd say start with either Ring of Fire (featuring Avi from Pentatonix) or Man of Constant Sorrow....both of these are amazing!
There are A LOT of other Pentatonix videos to get to know them. SURPRISE YOURSELF . TRY IT. Greetings from South Africa
I am a fan of Lindsey Stirling. She has carved out her own career and does it so well.
I agree Acapella is fun too. Try Home Free for another excellent example.
Lindsey Sterling is Awesome
Ummmm. I was just getting ready to comment on how much I loved Scott’s lead and then listened to you say how much you loved Lindsay’s nonexistent singing and didn’t like Scott’s singing or presentation and basically thought the rest of the band was so-so. Sorry you didn’t enjoy this but PTX is the most successful a Cappella band in history with 3 Grammys and billions of views for a reason. Maybe you should give them another listen.
Lindsey Sterling didn't sing in this video..... and what?? You need to maybe watch another Pentatonix video or two....
it may be the same concept......BUT PENTATONIX is far better as stated in the following........Pentatonix History…..composed by Alan Freeman updated by Perry Stevenson
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”
.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on UA-cam, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his UA-cam videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on UA-cam), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an acappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on UA-cam, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
The 3 Grammys they’ve won include....
(1)Daft Punk for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella……
(2)Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella….
(3) Jolene w/Dolly Parton for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album “Evergreen” for Best Traditional Vocal Album.
They were also nominated for a 5th Grammy award for their album “Holidays Around The World” for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. THEY ARE THE ONLY ACAPELLA GROUP WITH A STAR!!!!
UPDATE: Pentatonix has also done 9 intros for Thursday Night Football based on their original song “sing”. Links for 3 of them are ua-cam.com/video/HrruJptmbKU/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/zTUSB4iwTII/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/e2pvITc9a3U/v-deo.html
UPDATE: Pentatonix has done a cameo appearance in the new movie “Candy Cane Lane” starring Eddie Murphy. They are the carolers.
UPDATE: Pentatonix sang the National Anthem at the 2023 College Football National Championship game. Link is ua-cam.com/video/fqWY2EUGlgk/v-deo.html
UPDATE: They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch ua-cam.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/v-deo.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong “Pentaholics” will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used auto-tune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
Sorry, what video did you watch?!? Anyway, not fair to take a collaboration using instruments and base an opinion of Pentatonix on it. Try Hallelujah. There’s a reason they’re the best and that will show you why.
I love watching the reactions you do with other industry people you have on. Here's a new one that Lindsey Stirling just released.
The comments in the video are the actual comments that were given to her when she was on America's Got Talent in 2010. She made it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated. The judges that made those comments were Piers Morgan & Sharon Osborne.
