I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl last year, and again six days ago (both times with my 80+ year old landlord - in a wheelchair - who had never heard of them before I forced her to watch "Hallelujah" about a month before the first concert), so it's never too late to become a Pentaholic!
Oh, you should do a series of the competition shows, it's really amazing to realize the trio met right before the audition, and when they made it, they went down to Texas, the new guys stayed with Scotts family and they invented themselves in however little time between then and the competition. Were still inventing themselves through the competition!
They've only changed one member. So here you go: Scott Hoying - tall, blonde dude Mitch Grassi - high pitch dude Kevin Olusola - bestboxer dude Kirstin "Kirstie" Maldonado Avi Kaplan - bearded dude, the old bass singer. Matt Salee - the new bass singer
Only one change...Avi to Matt in late 2017. Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer. This was filmed on a set in a warehouse. There is a behind the scenes video.
So much emotion pouring out from them in this. I Loved, Loved, Loved this! Numbers speaking UA-cam views VoicePlay 287+ million, Home Free (who won the sing off the year after PTX) 500+ million views PTX 5 BILLION views..ya they are the best in the world. and Like you I Like all of them.
It's the PTX Wall of Sound !!! I agree about doing "Over the River" w/Lindsey Stirling on violin and Kevin on cello and percussion. Only PTX could take a children's nursery rhyme and turn it into a masterpiece.
They won Season 3 of The Sing Off. They are the best Acapella group ever..... I LOVE this song and of course they just made it so much better. Such a wonderful job!!!!
THIS is what is crazy about PTX. Every song/medley I hear from them, I think they couldn't possibly top it ... and then they DO!!! Another amazing thing is that each of their individual voices is world class and u can hear their individual talent. But when their voices blend - dammmmnnnn!! It is completely seamless. There is no spotlight hugging. It doesn't seem as though there is anybody trying to push to stand out above anyone.
They just did a Christmas special on BYUtv called Christmas Under the Stars that was phenomenal. You can pick any song from that and be wowed, but their cover of My Heart With You is simply breathtaking.
I love your expression when the song hits its climactic moments. Dammmnnnnn dude - the awe I saw on your face nearly made me cry. I hope that PTX get to see your reaction because, as an artist, it just doesn't get any better than that.
I've listened to this song..I can't even count how many times..and it blows me away every single time..I think its the best they have done so far..and I love just about all of their material..Mitch is one of the most talented counter tenors I've ever heard..melts me every time..He was spectacular in this song..really show cased his amazing natural talent..LOVE THIS ACAPELLA GROUP..THEY ARE # 1..in my book..
Great reaction! A good Christmas one is O Come all ye faithful, love it! If you didn't do it yet, The Evolution of Michael Jackson is insane. There are so many it's crazy.
Since you watched the SingOff, you may remember that Shawn Stockman was the original Pentaholic, and here's a nice shout-back. Boyz II Men recently performed a Chris Stapleton song (at Stapleton's request) on a CMT special where Stapleton was being honored as an Artist of the Year, and Kevin (the PTX beatboxer) cello boxed with them. Here's the link -- ua-cam.com/video/o-7fkB2Ijro/v-deo.html
They are amazing. I love listening to them. Each one is unique in their own special way and together they are fantastic. They touch your heart with a song like this and remind you of our God and His love and mercy. I love listening to them.
Only one member change. Avi left and Matt replaced him. The others are all the original members. Scott, (Baritone with crazy range). Kirstin, Mitch, Kevin (beatboxer, singer, cellist extraordinaire) and Matt (bass). This is my favorite version if The Prayer. I became Pentatonix fan on The Sing Off. I can’t remember for sure, but I’m thinking Sara Bareilles (sp) (not sure if her name) and Jewel were the female judges. People can correct me if I’m wrong. Loved your reaction! I’ve watched this sooo many times and got chills over my whole body.. even my shins. No joke.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Glad that you liked it. They are incredible. For something different, yet awesome, from Pentatonix, please react to Pentatonix's official video "Over The River". It'll brighten your day.
My brain just gave up when I watched that one. Like they took this little kids tune and wrote a freaking Broadway production of it. And just... What???? And it's INCREDIBLE!
@@jerolddavis They represent the elements: Scott is water, Kirstie is fire (no kidding), Mitch is air, Kevin is earth; some say Matt is earth too, but others have said wood/trees. And Lindsey is represents magic. So that, plus the Celtic vibe of the composition, made me think pagan.
Yep they were on season 3 of the Sing-off in 2011. Home Free was on the Sing-off in season 4. The female judge on the sing-off was Sara Bareilles with Ben Folds and Sean Stockman while the host was Nick Lachey. Pentatonix was dropped a week later after winning in 2011, so any kind of success rested totally on their shoulders at that point. Social media became the avenue they used to reach out and make a market for themselves and allowed them to show the world their talent.
PTX: Causing full-body goosebumps and eargasms for over TEN YEARS!!!! GREAT reaction Tom....LOVED IT!!! Stay safe and healthy and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Thank you for bringing us a PTX reaction. There's so much more for you to do. LOL 😆 🤣 Anyway, please keep reacting to them. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Sending you love from Texas!
This is a stunning video. I just saw them in concert thanksgiving weekend and they sound incredible live. They have grown so much since the sing off. And it was only 10 years ago. Thanks for the reaction and watch this space tomorrow I will leave links.
Only one change in personnel. Avi left, Matt came in four years ago. Not exactly new guy. Season 3 of the Sing Off. They won 2011. Have definitely grown in 10 years as is only to be expected. Mitch had to miss his high school graduation to be on the show. Scott and Kirstin were college freshmen.
I'm sure someone has said they won Season 3 of The Sing Off (Home Free won season 4) in 2011. You can actually find their old performances on it and I see a lot of people reacting to it. React to #12, Dog Days Are OVer, it's amazing! And I love your reaction here. I think this is PTX at its best. Maybe not it's best but there's nothing better.
They won the sing off. They recorded 200 thousand and a record contract. A week after they moved to LA the company dropped them. They took the money and started making youtube videos. The rest is history. It would be cool if you did reactions to their sing off journey. See them so young and nervous about making it through the competition. One of them they talk about perfecting 2 songs into one. Funny because, they have done quite a few evolution of videos. Most have over 10 songs condensed into like 4 to 6 minutes. They are simply amazing and magic together. Also did you know rhat Avi was involved in picking Matt, the new bass singer?
Tom that’s the song Marcelito Pomoy did by himself . He sounded better than Mitch to me. The point I’m making is it took 5 people to do a song that 1 person did alone incredibly. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄❤️❤️❤️
And 3 time Grammy winners!!!
Scott is underrated. I love his voice he's my favorite. All are talented beyond words.
If this doesn’t win them an Emmy, it will be a crime!
Spectacular...as usual. Pentatonix has harnessed "passion" which makes for great art. They are amazing artists...all of them!
Amen.

What I love about this video is how the sun bursts through right at the moment of the crescendo. God's grace.
They've only changed one member. So here you go:
Scott Hoying - tall, blonde dude
Mitch Grassi - high pitch dude
Kevin Olusola - bestboxer dude
Kirstin "Kirstie" Maldonado
Avi Kaplan - bearded dude, the old bass singer.
Matt Salee - the new bass singer
Thats the famous "wall of sound" also you get PTX slapped!😁
SSSsssso Gooooooooooooooooood!!!!
Scott-smacked and Mitch-slapped....all in one song. ;-)
Only one change...Avi to Matt in late 2017. Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer. This was filmed on a set in a warehouse. There is a behind the scenes video.

WOW WOW when the lihht shone wow
Heart wrenching. xxxxx perfect sound
This and Amazing Grace are my 2 favorites but I love everything they do
They won Season 3 of The Sing Off. They are the best Acapella group ever..... I LOVE this song and of course they just made it so much better. Such a wonderful job!!!!
This has got to be their best performance yet! Such a beautiful song to begin with and they just took it to a whole new level! Amazing! 🥰
THIS is what is crazy about PTX. Every song/medley I hear from them, I think they couldn't possibly top it ... and then they DO!!!

I love the wall of sound these five ppl can make. In my opinion PTX are the best accapella group I've ever heard.
I've listened to this song..I can't even count how many times..and it blows me away every single time..I think its the best they have done so far..and I love just about all of their material..Mitch is one of the most talented counter tenors I've ever heard..melts me every time..He was spectacular in this song..really show cased his amazing natural talent..LOVE THIS ACAPELLA GROUP..THEY ARE # 1..in my book..

This is nothing short of an instant classic which should win them their 4th Grammy. Sheer perfection.
They are amazing. I love listening to them. Each one is unique in their own special way and together they are fantastic. They touch your heart with a song like this and remind you of our God and His love and mercy. I love listening to them.
Sara Bareilles was the third judge on The Sing Off, they were on the second season and then Home Free won the third season!
Check out their performance of Dog Days are Over, from the Sing Off, that's the one where Mitch really came into his own!
Only one member change. Avi left and Matt replaced him. The others are all the original members. Scott, (Baritone with crazy range). Kirstin, Mitch, Kevin (beatboxer, singer, cellist extraordinaire) and Matt (bass). This is my favorite version if The Prayer. I became Pentatonix fan on The Sing Off.

Loved your reaction! I’ve watched this sooo many times and got chills over my whole body.. even my shins. No joke.
It was Shawn Stockman, Sara Bareilles, and Ben Folds as judges on their season :D Shawn is the original Pentaholic! They were the winners of Season 3.
Yes yes!
Jewel was a judge on Season 4 when Home Free won.
They are simply out of this world and this is incredible. I love them
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Glad that you liked it. They are incredible. For something different, yet awesome, from Pentatonix, please react to Pentatonix's official video "Over The River". It'll brighten your day.
Phenomenal. No other words needed.
Loved it! PTX are incredible and they did a superb job on this track.
Try their version of "Over the River" with Lindsey Stirling. The video is beautiful, and as usual, their vocals are amazing.
My brain just gave up when I watched that one. Like they took this little kids tune and wrote a freaking Broadway production of it. And just... What???? And it's INCREDIBLE!
@@jerolddavis I agree! To me, it represents the pagan roots of Christmas. I love it!
@@vickyterry3150 Oh, that's interesting... I need to go watch it again now. 🥰
@@jerolddavis They represent the elements: Scott is water, Kirstie is fire (no kidding), Mitch is air, Kevin is earth; some say Matt is earth too, but others have said wood/trees. And Lindsey is represents magic. So that, plus the Celtic vibe of the composition, made me think pagan.
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!
The Wall Of Sound
I was lucky enough to experience this live last night! It was a masterpiece, along with the entire show. Mitch was amazing!
So Amazing!! My late husband loved listening to this group. He was old school Rock N Roll, but Pentatonix drew him in.
Yep they were on season 3 of the Sing-off in 2011. Home Free was on the Sing-off in season 4. The female judge on the sing-off was Sara Bareilles with Ben Folds and Sean Stockman while the host was Nick Lachey.

they competed and won the third season of the sing off
It doesn’t look like you reacted to their cover of Hallelujah yet. That one has a solid Mitch slap embedded!
I just saw them in concert Thursday night.....they sound just as incredible live.... pure talent!!
This is my new favorite song of theirs. It’s stunning. Thanks for doing the reaction.
PTX: Causing full-body goosebumps and eargasms for over TEN YEARS!!!! GREAT reaction Tom....LOVED IT!!! Stay safe and healthy and Merry Christmas to you and yours
Try their new one over the river. with Linsey Sterling. It is short but fantastic. PTX is the best
Thank you for bringing us a PTX reaction. There's so much more for you to do. LOL 😆 🤣 Anyway, please keep reacting to them.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Sending you love from Texas!
This is a stunning video. I just saw them in concert thanksgiving weekend and they sound incredible live. They have grown so much since the sing off. And it was only 10 years ago. Thanks for the reaction and watch this space tomorrow I will leave links.
"Oh my God" indeed.
Only one change in personnel. Avi left, Matt came in four years ago. Not exactly new guy.
Season 3 of the Sing Off. They won 2011. Have definitely grown in 10 years as is only to be expected. Mitch had to miss his high school graduation to be on the show. Scott and Kirstin were college freshmen.
Please react to their take on ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’. You will definitely enjoy that one.
It seems like you haven't done 'Love Again' yet. Highly recommend. It's my favorite, I'm obsessed, lol. I think you'll have an awesome time with it.
Pentatonix won season 3 of Sing-Off. Home Free won season 4.
There was no hiding how that hit you! Absolutely Heavenly performance, my favorite version of this song, incredible. Happy Holidays ❤️
Only ONE member change, in 2017, Bass Avi left for family reasons and replaced by Matt.
Shaun is the original Pentaholic 😁
I'm sure someone has said they won Season 3 of The Sing Off (Home Free won season 4) in 2011. You can actually find their old performances on it and I see a lot of people reacting to it. React to #12, Dog Days Are OVer, it's amazing!

Also did you know rhat Avi was involved in picking Matt, the new bass singer?
I think Sara Bareilles was a judge on season 3 of the Sing Off when Pentatonix had just formed and competed.
They won Season 3 of The Sing Off
Sara bareilles was the lady judge. I love so much!! Please react to 'She used to be mine' from her. Or her cover of 'goodbye yellow brick road'
Have you checked out Home Free version of Boy to Men's "End of the Road" 🤯🤯💯
💕💕🇨🇦
Only Avi was replaced by Matt. Avi was the bass singer with a beard. All others are the same. And Kevin is their beat boxer.
You should check out Home Free another Acapella group their End of the road cover from Boys to Men
Un-Break My Heart - Gabriel Henrique (Cover Toni Braxton)
Have you heard Home Free do "end of the road" ?
they have only changed one member which was from Avi to Matt
Marcin Marcin Marcin!
Grammy?!?!
can you make reaction to mamamoo on killing voice on dingo or their recent release "where are we now" epic ballad vocal masterpiece
Season 3, & Sarah Bareilles was the female coach.
Season 3
The name of the lady judge is the one and only Sara Bareilles!

Friggen Mitch.....
You are an excellent reactor, probably because you are a terrible liar. How you feel shows through so well. You just melted on those big crescendos.
Tom that’s the song Marcelito Pomoy did by himself . He sounded better than Mitch to me. The point I’m making is it took 5 people to do a song that 1 person did alone incredibly.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄❤️❤️❤️
OMG....you STILL don't know their names??? This is the 3rd reaction I've heard from you regarding Pentatonix....loss for words.
Why you quit talking and just play the song
