Voctave as a group aren't really background singers.. though in this case they are singing background. They are spectacular in their own right, as you do more reactions you need to take a close look at their body of work. As evidence even as great as Kirstin is here this is Voctave featuring Kirstin and not the other way around. And I LOVE Kirstin
Jeremy isn't a professional singer; he was in a university a capella group called the Acoustikats which took part in the The Sing Off competition. (I think that's how he and Kirstin met, although his group took part in a different year from Pentatonix.)
The group with which Kirstie and Jeremy are singing is Voctave (VOK-tiv, like octave with a v.) Most are performers at Walt Disney World in Orlando (EPCOT's American Pavilion) as the Voices of LIberty. They sometimes throw in a DIsney song or two, so they are certainly familiar with the songs. The soprano in black (the one who hits and holds those high notes) is Kate Lott, You had the same reaction to her that EVERYBODY has when they hear Voctave for the first time. The other singers are all fantastic as well, and Jamey Ray (the guy in the maroon shirt in this video) not only sings, but also does all the arrangements. For other Voctave songs, you should really check out the Disney Princess Medley (where all five of the female singers--they've added three people to the group--each take the lead for one song) or "The Impossible Dream" (from "The Man From La Mancha"). Tiffany Coburn (the other soprano here--the tall blonde) takes the lead, and she kills it. Why yes, I am a fanboy for both Pentatonix and Voctave; why do you ask? (grin)
Yes, I second User:Horologium's suggestion above. Definitely react to Voctave's Disney Princess Medley, especially if Ariel is your favorite! :) It is fantastic!
I am soooo happy you reacted to this video. You are one of my favorite reactors. Keep up the amazing work. :) I hope you react to more of Kirstin's work such as her LOVE EP and some pentatonix songs like rather be and say something. Thank you.
new subscriber here(: I love that you really pay attention and notice the small details as well as the big picture, and you always have something really insightful to comment about afterward! keep doing you, beautiful
His not singing "very well", or her seeming a stronger singer than him, was done purposefully by him. He wanted to showcase her and her voice in this video. He took one brief moment for himself, but let Kirsten have the rest. Sweet of him, I would say.
If you didn't know Voctave is a group comprised of former and current members of The Voices of Liberty, the group that sings daily at the American Adventure in EPCOT at Disney World. You should react to more of their stuff. They have several albums out, including a few Christmas album. The soprano you keep gushing about is Kate Lott.
She is actually in rehearsals right now for the role of Lauren in "Kinky Boots" on Broadway - I think her run is like Feb-April. I've always thought she could surely be a disney princess. To be honest, I think her voice and her current look would make her PERFECT for the live action version of Princess Jasmin in Aladdin but that's just me. Def check out her solo stuff! She came out with an EP last year.
They, actually, met on a U.S. TV show called The Sing-Off. Pentatonix won season three and had returned to do a performance in season four. Jeremy was a member of The AcoUstiKats, who were competing on the show in season four.
Love, love, love this! I always love reactions to any of their (PTX - though Voctave is excellent as well) live stuff as people are invariably surprised to know they are as good live as their studio sound. To that end, because I don't believe you've reacted to any of their live group performances, might I request Pentatonix - Gold. You WILL be blown away especially if you've ever heard the original version by Kiarra (sp?). ...And to shake things up (and make you laugh!) I would recommend GUY.exe (pronounced 'guy dot execute' as if referring to an executable computer program) by Superfruit - the PTX spinoff with Scott and Mitch. It was released just prior to Halloween and fits perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing your honest and real reactions to one of my favorite groups! Have a great day!
When Kirstin And Jeremy Did This Video They Were Engaged To Be Married Which You Can Completely Tell Because It Is Written All Over Their Faces!!!!! If You Look At The Way That They Look At Each Other And Sing To One Another You Can Absolutely Positively 100% Tell That They Are Madly In Love, Head Over Heels, Crazy About Each Other!!!!! They Are Gonna Make The Picture Perfect Married Couple As Husband & Wife!!!!! He Proposed In The Eiffel Tower In Paris!!!!!
So beautiful, love how the lips match the shirt. You just jumped into it yo. Well the good news is there us so much more to come. Stay beautiful, kind and just down right perfect! You give me life and such joy. Keep on keeping on and sooooo much love J.
Maybe Disney has, no way to really know. My understanding is that she isn't focused on often in Pentatonix because she doesn't actually want the focus to be on her, so maybe she wouldn't accept if they did give her an offer like that.
Love the temperature gauge reference. Must remember that one. Great reactions so far. If you get a chance to watch Superfruit and 'Rise' I think you would enjoy it. Keep up the great videos.
Sorry to tell you minion, but they did break up, right at the end of October 2017. I don't know why, but I know that as of mid October they had postponed the wedding, then right before Halloween, like 24-48 hours before, they were over.
Hey Bill, Thank you for asking. I am well-ish I've recently started a new job and i am literally snowed under so i don't have to time to much at the moment. Health wise though i think weve finally debunked 80% of my diagnoses and those are all being taken care of by the relevant specialists , which let me tell you after 18 months of consistently going to hospitals with question marks feel kinda good to have a name for things. I hope your doing well :)

haha awesome! Thank you !

in Jeremy's defense, he's the only person in the room who isn't a professional vocalist.
I am soooo happy you reacted to this video. You are one of my favorite reactors. Keep up the amazing work. :)

I'm so glad your enjoying them, thank you X
Gosh.......I think I could sing with voctave and still sound good. Amazing. The high notes....amazing
I told you she has the prettiest and pure voice in Pentatonix.
Kirsten will be on Broadway soon singing in "Kinky Boots"! She's already moved to New York and has started rehearsing.
His not singing "very well", or her seeming a stronger singer than him, was done purposefully by him. He wanted to showcase her and her voice in this video. He took one brief moment for himself, but let Kirsten have the rest. Sweet of him, I would say.

I had no idea, Thanks for the info :)

What a feat !
actually Kirsten would make a really good Disney princess.
right!!!
The guy she's singing with is Jeremy Michael Lewis. At the time, he was her boyfriend. They're engaged, now.
They, actually, met on a U.S. TV show called The Sing-Off. Pentatonix won season three and had returned to do a performance in season four. Jeremy was a member of The AcoUstiKats, who were competing on the show in season four.
They broke up in October.

Thank you for the info, I love to read everyone input.
Nice Job Nattering. Thank you for that reaction. I appreciate your comments. - Bill
This was smart on Voctave's part. Invite Kirsten to sing with them. A few day's later, they were far more famous.
React to Kirstins solo stuff
+Megan Cooper coming up shortly; )

Kind of sad to watch this, now that they're not getting married. It's clear from their looks how much they were into each other. =(
Greg Steele Right?! He looked at her like she was the only person in that room. Seriously, Kirsten? I want him because apparently you didn't.
Greg Steele wait what!? What happened
Jeremy doesn't sing professionally, Kristin does- daily, he has never really been a lead singer in any known capacity even on the sing off.
You have to listen to Loïc Nottet- Million Eyes. Or Doctor, Rhythm Inside or any of his songs! You will love it!
Maybe Disney has, no way to really know. My understanding is that she isn't focused on often in Pentatonix because she doesn't actually want the focus to be on her, so maybe she wouldn't accept if they did give her an offer like that.
+Neonseas oh i see... well thats a shame because she really would suite it if it was something she wanted to pursue :)
Well she will be on Broadway in February in Kinky Boots.
+Nattering Well, her dream was/is Broadway. Which is what she's doing this February :)
Love the temperature gauge reference. Must remember that one. Great reactions so far. If you get a chance to watch Superfruit and 'Rise' I think you would enjoy it. Keep up the great videos.
The person she's making faces to is Jeremy Lewis, her then-fiancé now husband.
Google said they separated?
I'm not aware of that, unless they mean temporarily while she's working in musical theater in New York.
Sorry to tell you minion, but they did break up, right at the end of October 2017. I don't know why, but I know that as of mid October they had postponed the wedding, then right before Halloween, like 24-48 hours before, they were over.
"The Great Movie Medley" BY VOCTAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or Voctave's Disney Villains medley.
Hello Natalie. How are you doing?
Hey Bill, Thank you for asking. I am well-ish I've recently started a new job and i am literally snowed under so i don't have to time to much at the moment. Health wise though i think weve finally debunked 80% of my diagnoses and those are all being taken care of by the relevant specialists , which let me tell you after 18 months of consistently going to hospitals with question marks feel kinda good to have a name for things. I hope your doing well :)

Katrina Baumann Not anymore. They're not together.

React la la land medley by superfruit
Kirsten, REALLY?! You had a guy looking at you like you were the only person on Earth, and you dump him? Okay, I want him if you don't.
We don't know what happened, at least I don't, so I wouldn't judge their breakup...
Gosh I can't not love you. So having said that, I love, love, deeply long for you. Approx. 16 hrs . Away. Still.
They're married if you didn't know.
Eugene Grewing No, they aren't. They broke up.
