I can’t remember where I heard this, but Simon & Garfunkel’s version is a warning, Disturb’s version is anger that the warnings weren’t heeded and Pentatonix is giving us hope again.
I think most people don't realise that you can get goosebumps on their goosebumps on their frigging goosebumps - until they start listening to PTX. 😁😄😅😆
This is a masterclass in song arrangement. They bring the listener up, step by step, getting us emotionally involved in the song and the lyric, and fall off at the end (in just two measures or so), leaving the listener wanting more - still absorbing the emotional depth we've reached. In that way the song is complete, yet it lingers in our minds for a little while afterwards. (That refrain always haunts me for like 10 minutes afterwards it's so good, and then I usually listen to the song again lol.)
you can see the euphoria grow in your eyes as the song goes on. you are 100% correct - they know how to compose a song. you have earned yourself a new fan. love, love, love how you respond to music! ✌
I loved your reaction and I'm glad that you are going to watch all of Pentatonix. You could go back to the Sing Off where they started. A youtuber named mrduckbear11 has all of the videos. They're little baby Pentatonix but already amazing.
Be aware. PTX was founded in 2011, when they auditioned for and won NBC’s “The Sing-Off” for acapella groups. Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi and Kirstin Maldonado were childhood friends. They found Kevin Olusola on UA-cam-where he was beatboxing and playing the cello (what he calls ‘celloboxing’. They needed a bass and found Avi Kaplan through a friend. Avi stayed with them for six years, through them losing their recording contract-starting their UA-cam channel-winning three Grammys (so far). His mom became ill, which made it tough for him to tour. He left in 2017, and helped PTX find his replacement, Matt Sallee (all the way to the left in this video, with a white jacket on). So if you look at videos prior to 2017, the bass was Avi. 2017-> present, the bass is Matt Sallee! Matt has been an amazing addition. And Avi is doing solo work, and is really happy. It’s all worked out really well.
PTX has mastered the art of arranging their voices and strengths for maximum impact. You are exactly correct. They absolutely draw you in and drop you then cuddle you. Haha PTX is the best.
great reaction!!!! I have often said, that each singer in PTX, takes you by the hand, walks you up to the top of a cliff, and then when they get you there, the suddenly push you off, to only be caught by the next one, and up you go again. And you let them take you each time. So look forward to more of your PTX reactions,
Welcomed to the single prettiest sounding rabbit hole on UA-cam. As someone who's been around since the Sing Off days, I always recommend going back to the foetus days - their incredible and rapid growth into what you're seeing now is there from minute one.
Enjoying the lift lift lift and the drop with you. If you are in a roller coaster, it’s that click click click up to the top and that couple of seconds that you are suspended before the stomach disappearing, skin shivering, breath exploding screaming plunge down and then before you can recover you realize you are on to the next ascension....that is the artistic propulsion of their thrill ride called music. It is all consuming. Taking this ride with you, my insightful Fil....LOVE IT...be sure and lock the barrier bar down and buckle up! ❤️😳🤪😍❤️
Welcome to the joy of us Pentaholics. We get happiness every time we hear them sing. Simon and Garfunkel would have enjoyed this tribute. Simply fantastic. Thank you for this reaction.
I've heard two phrases that come up often about this group: eargasmic and the "wall of sound" they often create during certain songs. Whatever words are used, they are undeniable.
The world tour they are talking about was ended in March 2020 by covid-19. Everything after this video was done or completed while they were in quarantine in their homes... Home EP in June 2020, We Need a Little Christmas LP Nov 2020, Mad World single Oct 2020, Happy Now an original from LP scheduled to drop 2/12/21. I guess they were bored in quarantine. LOL
I'm a full blown Pentaholic... been following them since their Sing Off performances (recommend going back and watching those). I can remember the day this one was released and I watched for the first time... had a similar reaction, as anyone who knows music would. Look forward to more of your reactions to this amazing group of genius musicians.
Genius! This is great, and I loved your reaction! This group is way out there in Epic proportions! There new one is out too...Amazing Grace (My chains are gone) It will take you to Church!
love your description of the build/lift, drop you, etc, and the levels ever increasing. positive tension - satisfying resolution - repeat. Like Ralph Vaughan Williams does so well in his compositions, both instrumental & vocal. And I agree with those who suggested you check out their Sing Off performances, which were outstandingly exciting week after week. Thanks for sharing. now I'm gonna check to see if you reviewed any of their other stuff cuz I really enjoy how you give words to my feelings! ;-)
You described the lift perfectly!!! Took the way I always feel whenever I listen to them, and you put it right into words. I think the way that they compose everything and arrange all of their songs is so brilliant! I love love love it when they build and build and Kirstin is either close to last or last because for me she is just phenomenal, and it always gets more and more emotional, then she sings, and I'm dead... You should react to one of their most recent videos Amazing Grace...They do the same thing. I've watched it a hundred times and I've cried every time, it's that good...
I think you'd love Kevin Olusola's solo stuff. KO. Take a look at him doing 'Down' on his own with electric cello, and looping with beat boxing. It's stunning
oooo I understand you perfectly, the same thing always happens to me, they flood me with goosebumps and then leaves me breathless ... it happens every time, and with every song
If you want to see them in the 'beginning' look up the sing off (TV show) - I love their version of 'The Dog Days Are Over' - you can see how good they were back then and how far they have come. It's an amazing journey and their back story from school to the TV show to LA to their most deserved success is a very uplifting story.
Don't forget to check out their live television performances at the awards programs like the Ama's, CMA's, the billboard awards, Grammy's even a Kennedy center honor's performance for Tom Hanks😊
Oh and if you want to hear another cover of theirs to a total classic, check "Imagine". I guarantee you, John Lennon is smiling down from the afterlife whenever that cover is played. It's perfection.
Yessss!!! Love that you’re starting to get into these guys. So amazing! You’ll never be disappointed by a song from them. Love your explanation of how they compose their music too, instead of just the vocals. Spot on!
You should definitely check out their performance of AhHa Live at the Star Vista. They also have quite a few original songs which are amazing too, my favs are Run To You, Love Again, Can’t Sleep Love, just to name a couple.

Paul Simon actually came out and said that Pentatonix's rendition was best he has ever heard
I can’t remember where I heard this, but Simon & Garfunkel’s version is a warning, Disturb’s version is anger that the warnings weren’t heeded and Pentatonix is giving us hope again.
I love that!
“Lift it, lift it, lift it...consistently lift it until you can’t barely breathe.” Well said.
Hallelujah and Imagine to get kicked in the chest!!
I love that you’re going down the PTX rabbit hole, can’t wait to follow you down!
I agree, no one else does it this flawlessly.
All i can say is Eargasm, and chills
I think most people don't realise that you can get goosebumps on their goosebumps on their frigging goosebumps - until they start listening to PTX. 😁😄😅😆
You are fun to watch. I believe you will really enjoy "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"
I was just about to suggest this !!! Its such an awesome arrangement ! X
I’ve said it before, most powerful cover of a Disney song.. ANY Disney song.. I’ve ever heard.
@@justinperry13 Totally agree Justin !
"Guys, we're doing them all!"
You have a new sub.
Among the dozens of reactors on UA-cam, YOU are absolutely JOYFUL to watch!!
Thank you so much for saying.. This means the world to me ❤️❤️
Amazing Grace will punch you in the feels.

Thanks so much . Really appreciate the love and support ☺️❤️
Mitch's elocution is above beautiful!
If you're after suggestions - Imagine or Hallelujah (and the live version) would be awesome !
Yes please Go BACK to the Sing off, start their journey, even then they erre soooo goood STAN PTX for a better life 😉
I subscribe to all PTX reactors who watch their Sing Off performances.
Have to start at the beginning. If you start here you won't get the evolution of PTX. Pentatonix fans will get that one.
what does STAN mean?
Stan is an internet slang word that basically means being a very big fan of someone :) (I think the term originated from an Eminem song?)
@@ccx7004 Thanks for the info
Aren’t they amazing?!?! They always change how they perform for each song. I think that’s why they’re able to make such an impact with every song.
I loved your reaction and I'm glad that you are going to watch all of Pentatonix. You could go back to the Sing Off where they started. A youtuber named mrduckbear11 has all of the videos. They're little baby Pentatonix but already amazing.

Can't wait to see you do Pentatonix Imagine. It's breathtaking. ♡ #FableSquad
My shivers have goosebumps on them. I love this version and their arrangement is amazing.

Please react to their newest one "Amazing Grace"
We are here for your trip down the rabbit hole. It's well worth it! Love your reaction as always.
They just dropped Amazing Grace! It really is Amazing! 💕

Released by Simon and Garfunkel in 1965, and still hits the heart so strong
Looking forward to more of your reactions. They’ve just released a new song Amazing Grace. It’s up there with the best. 😍♥️🇬🇧

I thought you were going to fall out of your chair🤣😂🤣 Thank you for your enthusiasm for our beloved Pentatonix. Enjoy your journey.
Great reaction 👍 have a fun journey with PTX!
Wait until you do Hallelujah. Talk about getting punched in the chest. Whenever she comes in as the lead, I always tear up a little.
Wahoo! Lets do it all! You're just scratching the surface my man.
Right?!? I love reactors that dive in headfirst and really enjoy it.

Light in the Hallway, Cracked, Aha (And then the version aha! Live in Singapore) the Lucky Ones, Water, Cheerleader and so many more to suggest!

Kevin is an amazing beatbox but he said sings very well too! Welcome to PTX! Watch Amazing Grace, Daft Funk, Mary did you know...
My favorite Pentatonix song is Mary Did You Know......so good!
Love this and your reaction. You can do whatever PTX song you want. There is not a single one that I don't love!
You cannot go wrong with any of their songs!!! Might as well give them perfect scores now, they're going to get them! Love your reactions!
Pentatonix is like a drug, I want more and more. I want to see what they can do to a song to upgrade it. Thanks for the reaction Fable
First time viewer. I’m hooked. Subscribed!!!
I love your explanations! 💖 You would surely enjoy all their Evolution -Videos! Greetings from Germany!
I think you'd love Kevin Olusola's solo stuff. KO. Take a look at him doing 'Down' on his own with electric cello, and looping with beat boxing. It's stunning
I've heard this song over 100 times, and I STILL get chills.
AND - they are just as good LIVE. Live you lose nothing.
Perfect....
Also their Oh Come All Ye Faithful
Good choice. They turn any song to a master piece. Their voices together is a blessing to your ears. The vocals and armories is amazing.
this song is just ominous they nailed it!
IMAGINE and MARY DID YOU KNOW are phenomenal songs 🎵 😍 ❤
You are going to be consistently amazed with everything they’ve done !!
oooo I understand you perfectly, the same thing always happens to me, they flood me with goosebumps and then leaves me breathless ... it happens every time, and with every song
Your reactions are the best. Pentaholics can spot a true fan and you are definitely one.

Great reaction! Actually, three in a row, what an awesome find as I try to gin up the energy to make it through the end of a tough week! Thank you :-)
Love your breakdown of the build-up and the drawing people in. So apt. Love it.
Another Pentaholic here. LOVE your reactions! I just found you and am so looking forward to all of your PTX reaction!
I've seen this group in person, and if you want goosebumps, SEE THEM LIVE !! OMG !!!!!
I'm in on your journey! Can't wait to follow you down the rabbit hole - it's amazing!

I do believe you are my favorite reactor; I love seeing honesty coupled with sheer delight. You are a joy to watch!!👍👍

what a fun reaction. thanks for uploading
Don't forget to check out their live television performances at the awards programs like the Ama's, CMA's, the billboard awards, Grammy's even a Kennedy center honor's performance for Tom Hanks😊
I swear, Mitch is the only man I've ever seen who's able to rock a mullet and not look like an idiot. Legend.
Oh and if you want to hear another cover of theirs to a total classic, check "Imagine". I guarantee you, John Lennon is smiling down from the afterlife whenever that cover is played. It's perfection.
I’ve gotten hip to the mullet now. Some people can pull it off really well. It’s coming back lol
YOU HAD THE BEST REACTION!!!! THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLELY TALENTED. LOVE YOU💝🐧🐱
