There is a reason they averaged 12,000 in attendance for an arena tour this past summer. I mean, they played Madison Square Garden. What I've really noticed about them over the years is they they have never stopped working for 8 yrs. That, combined with their talent, has put them on top.
I love this song and it breaks my heart every time I hear it. Kirsten's voice starts so small and alone at the beginning and ends almost like a scream of pain. Kevin's celloboxing kills here, sets just the right mood and it's wonderful to hear Mitch, Scott and Avi as they build each of the chords...something special indeed. Thanks, DS
Kirstin had an infection in her right eye for this video. She styled her hair to obscure how swollen the eyelid was. I think PTX can sing anything but their ballads like this are awesome. Love your reactions. You have such an amazing voice and an appealing energy.
your voice and sound from the video are now equalised, while in your earlier videos sound level of the recording of your voice was quieter than sound of the videos you were reacting to. good improvement
Thanks so much for this reaction. You cannot listen to a PTX video without having an emotional reaction. It may be different each time, but you will have one.
I love this performance. It's so emotionally raw. Beautiful. Pentatonix has always had a great work ethic. You can already see it in their Sing-Off performances - they put so much effort into every one of those, and I think that won them the competition in the end. They were never once sloppy or unprepared, whatever you think of the choices they made.
The sound is great. I think it says a lot that PTX videos are so simple because watching them actually sing the song is more interesting than some flashy video would be. It's truly an art. Speaking of Michael Jackson, I hope you react to their Evolution of Michael Jackson!
Pentatonix wanted this video to look like a painting come to life and that's wat they did. The sound is most def. on point. Great reaction, have a great day.
Sound is great. Balanced not only within the video but also with other UA-cam videos, so I didn't have to scramble to raise or lower the volume. This song is gorgeous. I have so many favorite parts, so I'll just mention one quickly without giving myself time to think: The bridge. With Scott solo, then that AMAZINGGGGGGG Scott/Avi duet, then Mitch joining them (love it when the boys sing as a trio, as in the end of "Carol of the Bells"), and finally Kirstin. Restraint. Patience. Timing. Blend. Perfection.
I always enjoy your reactions because they are 100% true. I usually agree with what you are saying. Pentatonix and Angelina Jordan make me feel the music. There is something special in their tone, harmony, and interpretation of songs that make me feel they are singing just for me. Keep up the good work.
The interesting thing about this particular video - and I only mention it because you said they looked like they were in a trance - is that they were supposed to be a portrait. Scott had a death-grip on the chair trying not to move much. But if you go back to where you paused it at the end and look, the white canvas behind them makes more sense.
Knew there was something about this video that screamed vintage. In the early days of photography, people would have to stay in the same position for several minutes for the process to complete. Also, people didn't smile in the photos because it was too difficult to hold a smile for that length of time. The sepia tones in this video enhance the historical feel.
One of the things I love about PTX so much is that they always use whoever is best for whatever song. It's not just Scott always taking lead or Mitch, or Kirstie, they know each other so well, their strengths and weaknesses, Not many, lol, and they use them. They also don't over do songs like a lot of people do. This video they wanted it to look like they were standing in a Family photo, staying still for the photographer.
You have touched upon something I have always wondered about really great singers. I also realize that they need to somehow mentally prepare for their performance - especially when doing a heartfelt song like this one. Songs such as this make me, as the listener, cry like a baby a lot of times! The emotion these songs evoke is truly palpable. My question is how on earth do singers get themselves mentally and emotionally prepared to sing these songs, but maintain their own composure and not fall apart and cry during their performance? I guess it's a good thing I can't hold a tune and don't even sing in the shower, because I just know I wouldn't be able to hold it together on stage!
The balance between your voice and the video is good now. Thanks for the work it took to get it right. And this is also one of my favorites. I love Avi’s voice in here, and I always it when he has a duet with Scott, as he does in Mary Did You Know. I’m looking forward to your reactions to the SingOff, and I’ll echo another comment; please listen to the judges’ comments as well. One time I listened to the whole of each program and found it very interesting to compare what the judges said about PTX and contrast it to what they said about the other groups. Basically there was very little negative criticism of them, usually some problem with the others. It was always constructive criticism for all the groups, but by the last few performances (I thought), it became a competition for second place for everyone else. Enjoy the journey! I know I will enjoy coming along for the ride.
Completely agree. There's a difference between listening and appreciating the talent, and listening and forgetting that...just getting transported by it.
Please react to Pentatonix “Mary did you know” “Bohemian Rapsody” “Royals” Grammy winning “Daft Punk” Note: Avi Kaplan was the original Bass with the group and Matt Sallee replaced him when he left to go out on his own.
The sound is good - both the video and your voice. No weird noises other than some slight static in the background; the volume is about the same in both your part and the music part. It's fine!
Want your noodle really blown ? .....check out "Dance of the sugar plum fairy" .......there are no words ........it is a vocal performance of an instrumental piece. Also really enjoying you latest mix/balance .....Seems to be pretty spot on.
I so enjoy your thoughtful and appreciative analysis of each performance of PTX. I am also happy that you usually get right into the music video, saving the discussion until after the music. It helps me to hear it first then think about what you have to say. Keep doing what you do. I look forward to each new reaction and I often replay those I have already seen.
I agree 100% and almost hate to say it, but good singers are a dime a dozen and then there are people like this. And as for you sound....Much better : )
It's funny you mentioned Whitney Houston. Yesterday, PTX announced the last song on their new Christmas album. It's going to be DO you hear what I hear featuring Whitney Houston. I cannot wait to hear it next week when it is released and look forward to your reaction !
Agree, PTX and Home Free are on another level. This song here tears me up every time I hear it. It's on several of my playlists and I never get tired of it. The pose they were in while singing struck me as a old family portrait for some reason. The sound of your voice and video was clear, although I could hear a sound in the background that I can't describe. I will go back to see if I can figure it out. 🙂 Edited to add that it sounds like ocean or radio white noise when you talk, but not while the music video is playing (hope that made sense). I could still hear you clearly though.
Can I just say that I love our facial expressions when you are reacting to all of these artists! (not just PTX) Also, PTX won their 2nd grammy with their "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" video and their 3rd with their collab remake with Dolly Parton on "Jolene". I also really love "Sing", "Come Along", "Can't Hold Us", "Gold", pretty much everything they do and their Christmas Albums are in my opinion probably some of their best work!
Thanks for reacting to this. I completely agree with you. PTX loves what they do and they’ve been through a lot to get where they are today. Their love and passion for music shows in their arrangements and performances at their concerts. Kirstin really showed off in this one. Lol. She sounded great. I don’t know if it was just me, but I could hear I really subtle staticky sound when the music wasn’t playing. Other than that, everything was great. 👍🏽
Those belts of Kirsten's get me every...damn...time! Tortured anguish has never sounded so amazing! Sound and levels were on point as was your reaction as per normal. Keep up the fantastic work my friend! :)
This cover is a masterpiece: One of the best they've done! It's a showcase of their talent, especially Kirstin's emotional singing (she is my favorite ).Can't wait for you to begin the Sing-Off performances, because that is where I became a fan.. They made a video of their audition song for the show (soon after they had won it), so could you react to that one as well? Loving your thoughts and opinions; You are a very insightful person. The sound you have between the video and your speaking in the microphone is pretty equal now, so really good quality.
Powerful voices, really give us the feel of the message and it's lovely. I always love Kevin's cello. Thank you for your reaction. Hope your holidays are wonderful.
I just recently found your reactions. I love your reactions. You have expressed genuine emotions during your reactions. In addition, you are correct in just because you don't like some, doesn't mean that it's bad, it just doesn't resonate with you. (Sing Off performances). Keep being you and I'll keep watching.
Great reaction! Glad to hear that you will be doing the Sing Off videos. One request. Please listen to the judges comments at the end of the performances. They add an extra dimension to the videos, and your thoughts on the feedback, as a musician, would be interesting to hear. Thank you.
I love this performance and I really appreciate your comments about artists dedication and willingness to give their all to the music. The great vs. the good. I really agree. These 5 are truly great individually and together. Excellent insight! Thx for sharing it!
If you would be able to make it happend it would be so great to see you react to their rendition of Somewhere over the rainbow. Thanks for your great comments and reactions
Never been that fast. First: loved your reaction. Second: what I really appreciate about ptx, is that they don't overdo their videos. Setting and wardrobe always in the same coulorsceme (spelled correctly?), always eye candy, but never distracting from the music. Although the most colorful videos like "come along" "sing" and so on just suuport the song. Third: sound quality definitely got better. It's much more leveled. Before you were often hard to understand. Music could be a little bit better, fuller, still. Keep on doing your thing!
Ellen: Just in case nobody answered your question yet, "color scheme" USA, "colour scheme" UK. But the Oxford English Dictionarseems to be heading more and more towards the American spelling, so I would go with "color scheme"
Nice review/reaction. I think you've gotten a handle on your audio mix. This video is brilliant (of course) but it also has one element unique in the large and growing Pentatonix videography: Scott doesn't sing with his hands. No idea how they managed it...maybe glue?
I noticed a difference with the sound immediately and was going to comment on it anyway. I have listened to this song so many times for years now and for the first time I was able to pick out Avi on the part that Scott leads off, displaying an emotionally flat affect with "say something I'm giving up on you", then Avi joined with "I'll be that one if you want me to." then Mitch comes in, "Say something I'm giving up on you." and Kirstie joins to wrap it up with "I'll be the one, if you want me to". Was that the bridge? Anywho, the emotional tension builds from there until Kevin sings the last line. I was going to ask you if you changed something because in the harmonies I could pick out each voice if I chose to do so. Normally, I can't do that on this song. Especially Avi. I knew his harmony couldn't have been very many steps from Scott's part... and yup! so close to each other on the scale, but beautifully done! Another plus nobody stood out that was supposed to be blending singing the harmonies. And, in the beginning.. you sounded like a radio DJ! I like! back when I sang every chance I got I had a real problem I couldn't figure out how to deal with.. I could tap into that place that held the pain, or was so beautiful it was tangible (for instance: Mitch's voice in certain parts of his range. His angel voice and upper chest voice drives emotions straight through my core, like a hot knife through butter. Mitch can bring me to tears from how beautiful he sounds) ... but I always (ALWAYS) would find myself starting to cry.. and I CANNOT sing when I cry. So one of my main prayer requests since the age of 14 has been that when I die God will fix that for me and allow me to sing with passion even if it brings me to tears. My voice won't crack. 😊
The saddest/sweetest video I have ever seen is the original by A Great Big World with Christina Aguilera, I think PTX was thinking about that video while singing this cover.
Please can you react to Citizen Queen's cover of Never Enough. I get goosies every time. Amazing. They're a capella as well & Scott from Pentatonix arranged it & works with them. They're basically PTX's all female protege group. Trust me you won't be disappointed. I've been a Pentaholic since episode 1 of them on The Sing Off, I wouldn't steer you wrong!
It was a good balance of you and music. Good levels. I dont know if it was just me or my headphones but it was a sound like it was raining or like a white noise machine in the background while you were speaking.
Yay!! Yay!! Yay!! Thank you for doing this song!!! This ballad is one of my favs of theirs. Sound is nicely balanced now. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! “Can’t help falling in love” and their “evolution of michael jackson” are others you might enjoy. The first is more like this - beautiful and serious - the second is just badass. Love your reactions and insights :)
💥GREAT REACTION to an AMAZING GROUP!!! 👉PLEASE react to 2 100% Acapella groups Scott (blonde guy) co-founded 🌟"Citizen Queen" - All Girl Acapella group (they have a bass and beatboxer) 👉👉"BUT PLEASE WATCH TILL THE END of the videos so you"ll get to know the girls") 👉Also they made their debut today 🌟"Aca Pop Kids" 100% Acapella they have 2 videos High Hopes and Valerie. ✊Scott is VERY SMART knowing these 2 kinds of groups were needed!! 👍
I have been LOVING your channel!!! Thank you for making such awesome content! I would love to see you react to some of Superfruit or Scott’s solo/ensemble videos. My favorite is Scott and Mario José singing Lost on You. Keep up the wonderful work!! ❤️
As Far as i'm Aware Kirsten was ill when they performed this, but it sure didnt stop her in the slightest. Beautiful song definately prefere it over the original. Nice Reaction by the way. And yes the sound is fine for both the video and hearing you speak, it has been on all the videos i have watched of you, always seems spot on to me.
I listen to reactions with headphones on, when you were done at the end while you were talking there was some background interference but your voice came through great, the sound of the actual video you reacted to was also great. Just a slight background hiss when you speak is all. I loved your reaction and am looking forward eagerly to your sing off PTX performances, just one tip when you react to those.. please make sure to wait until after the judges have spoken to stop the video, it is so satisfying :)
Loved your reaction as usual :-D the sound of your voice/mic is great, I would have preferred the music be a little louder but that might be because I had to listen without headphones so it could be me!
Your voice volume and video volume is now at a great place. I can hear you speaking real good now,before the video was ok,but could hear you.but its all together now,good job

Man when Avi comes in for his solo I get chills. What a voice.
There is a reason they averaged 12,000 in attendance for an arena tour this past summer. I mean, they played Madison Square Garden. What I've really noticed about them over the years is they they have never stopped working for 8 yrs. That, combined with their talent, has put them on top.
Kirstie's voice and facial expressions are crying and I can't help but cry. She totally nailed this!
I love this song and it breaks my heart every time I hear it. Kirsten's voice starts so small and alone at the beginning and ends almost like a scream of pain. Kevin's celloboxing kills here, sets just the right mood and it's wonderful to hear Mitch, Scott and Avi as they build each of the chords...something special indeed. Thanks, DS
These five emit so much emotion and it Carry's over to those that are hearing them. Brilliant, now I've got to go dry my eyes.
Kirstin had an infection in her right eye for this video. She styled her hair to obscure how swollen the eyelid was. I think PTX can sing anything but their ballads like this are awesome. Love your reactions. You have such an amazing voice and an appealing energy.
your voice and sound from the video are now equalised, while in your earlier videos sound level of the recording of your voice was quieter than sound of the videos you were reacting to. good improvement
The best Acapella group ever!
Thanks so much for this reaction. You cannot listen to a PTX video without having an emotional reaction. It may be different each time, but you will have one.
I adore Avi and Kirstie here. So much emotion. But Mitch and Scott sounding like violins. 😭 my heart
I love this performance. It's so emotionally raw. Beautiful.
Pentatonix has always had a great work ethic. You can already see it in their Sing-Off performances - they put so much effort into every one of those, and I think that won them the competition in the end. They were never once sloppy or unprepared, whatever you think of the choices they made.

Please, please Run To You, this is their original song, heartbreaking and so beautiful.
Pentatonix wanted this video to look like a painting come to life and that's wat they did. The sound is most def. on point. Great reaction, have a great day.
You have such a moved expression on your face, obviously you've been greatly touched, which touches me!🥺💔
Sound is great. Balanced not only within the video but also with other UA-cam videos, so I didn't have to scramble to raise or lower the volume. This song is gorgeous. I have so many favorite parts, so I'll just mention one quickly without giving myself time to think: The bridge.

Kevin playing the instrument AND the beat...... magic. Goosebumps
Cant wait to see more! I think you have fallen down the PTX rabbit whole with the rest of us Pentaholics
I love the way you describe PTX.......it's almost like poetry the way you talk about music.
Thank you I really appreciat that, I was starting to think I was too deep
I always enjoy your reactions because they are 100% true. I usually agree with what you are saying. Pentatonix and Angelina Jordan make me feel the music. There is something special in their tone, harmony, and interpretation of songs that make me feel they are singing just for me. Keep up the good work.
Hi! I want you to react to Pentatonix - Run to you. Its a great and beautiful song and its an original.
The interesting thing about this particular video - and I only mention it because you said they looked like they were in a trance - is that they were supposed to be a portrait. Scott had a death-grip on the chair trying not to move much. But if you go back to where you paused it at the end and look, the white canvas behind them makes more sense.

They also don't over do songs like a lot of people do. This video they wanted it to look like they were standing in a Family photo, staying still for the photographer.
It's passion. All great artists have it and they share it...all the time.

Anyone who hears this song and doesn't cry hasn't lost someone special
The balance between your voice and the video is good now. Thanks for the work it took to get it right. And this is also one of my favorites. I love Avi’s voice in here, and I always it when he has a duet with Scott, as he does in Mary Did You Know.

I recommend watching aha live in Singapore because it really shows how great they are live. (Telephone live in Singapore was also really great)
One of my favorite covers of theirs! ❤️❤️
Please react to Pentatonix
“Mary did you know”
“Bohemian Rapsody”
“Royals”
Grammy winning “Daft Punk”
Note: Avi Kaplan was the original Bass with the group and Matt Sallee replaced him when he left to go out on his own.
Yes, the sound was 100% better than other videos of yours I've watched. Thank You for the improvement!
I agree with you 100% !!! Pentatonix and Home Free are on a level way above the rest.
That song, as beautiful as it is makes your soul hurt if you've ever been down that path.
The sound is good - both the video and your voice. No weird noises other than some slight static in the background; the volume is about the same in both your part and the music part. It's fine!
Want your noodle really blown ? .....check out "Dance of the sugar plum fairy" .......there are no words ........it is a vocal performance of an instrumental piece. Also really enjoying you latest mix/balance .....Seems to be pretty spot on.
Your reactions are always good, but with the sound improvements, your reaction is exceptional. Thank you for sharing with us.
I so enjoy your thoughtful and appreciative analysis of each performance of PTX. I am also happy that you usually get right into the music video, saving the discussion until after the music. It helps me to hear it first then think about what you have to say. Keep doing what you do. I look forward to each new reaction and I often replay those I have already seen.

Sound - all across the board - Great quality :) Reaction and commentary #TRUTH
Couldn't agree more with your opinion!
BINGO!!! You have to be willing to go to that place. It's the passion.
Hip Hop Goes Broadway - Superfruit (part 1 and part 2. Funny bloopers stay till the end)
Can I just say that I love our facial expressions when you are reacting to all of these artists!

I don’t know if it was just me, but I could hear I really subtle staticky sound when the music wasn’t playing. Other than that, everything was great. 👍🏽
Those belts of Kirsten's get me every...damn...time! Tortured anguish has never sounded so amazing!
Sound and levels were on point as was your reaction as per normal. Keep up the fantastic work my friend! :)
SOUND I S GREATLY IMPROVED, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME AND EFFORT TO IMPROVING YOUR CHANNEL--GREAT JOB, LOOKING FORWARD TO LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC
This cover is a masterpiece: One of the best they've done!

My thoughts exactly. Thanks for expressing them so well.
Powerful voices, really give us the feel of the message and it's lovely. I always love Kevin's cello. Thank you for your reaction. Hope your holidays are wonderful.
Amazing brilliant so well prepared I will never listen to anyone else again
Everything is on point. Don't change a thing!
Awesome sound on both you and PTZ.
I just recently found your reactions. I love your reactions. You have expressed genuine emotions during your reactions. In addition, you are correct in just because you don't like some, doesn't mean that it's bad, it just doesn't resonate with you. (Sing Off performances). Keep being you and I'll keep watching.
On point as usual, great reaction and an absolutely beautiful performance from Pentatonix, also enjoyed the addition of the cello in this.
I love the way PTX brings emotion to their songs. Powerful !
Please watch their live performance for new years of their original New Years Day!! It’s amazing and sounds exactly like the recording
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Loved this reaction!!!
Avi can bring tears to my eyes
Great reaction! Glad to hear that you will be doing the Sing Off videos. One request. Please listen to the judges comments at the end of the performances. They add an extra dimension to the videos, and your thoughts on the feedback, as a musician, would be interesting to hear. Thank you.
Pentatonix are awesome. 👊👊👊👊
I love this performance and I really appreciate your comments about artists dedication and willingness to give their all to the music. The great vs. the good. I really agree. These 5 are truly great individually and together. Excellent insight! Thx for sharing it!
Yay!!! I am LOVING all the PTX!
I'm a new subscriber
Excellent 👍 review👍
If you would be able to make it happend it would be so great to see you react to their rendition of Somewhere over the rainbow. Thanks for your great comments and reactions
Your right about that!
Preach!
Never been that fast. First: loved your reaction. Second: what I really appreciate about ptx, is that they don't overdo their videos. Setting and wardrobe always in the same coulorsceme (spelled correctly?), always eye candy, but never distracting from the music.

Ellen: Just in case nobody answered your question yet, "color scheme" USA, "colour scheme" UK. But the Oxford English Dictionarseems to be heading more and more towards the American spelling, so I would go with "color scheme"
I understand that both spellings are valid.
I have just recently discovered you but must say you have quickly become my favorite reaction UA-camr.
Nice review/reaction. I think you've gotten a handle on your audio mix. This video is brilliant (of course) but it also has one element unique in the large and growing Pentatonix videography: Scott doesn't sing with his hands. No idea how they managed it...maybe glue?

So one of my main prayer requests since the age of 14 has been that when I die God will fix that for me and allow me to sing with passion even if it brings me to tears. My voice won't crack. 😊
Sounded great to me. :)
Perhaps react to all the evolution songs by Pentatonix.
The saddest/sweetest video I have ever seen is the original by A Great Big World with Christina Aguilera, I think PTX was thinking about that video while singing this cover.
Please react to Run to You with Pentatonix ❤️
I have listened to many reaction videos and many have the volume too low on the performance, yours is perfect 👌
I just noticed the unicorn getting the pep talk...lol. 😂😂
The sound was great for me. I could hear everything much better.
Please can you react to Citizen Queen's cover of Never Enough. I get goosies every time. Amazing. They're a capella as well & Scott from Pentatonix arranged it & works with them. They're basically PTX's all female protege group. Trust me you won't be disappointed. I've been a Pentaholic since episode 1 of them on The Sing Off, I wouldn't steer you wrong!
Love this one😊😊 sooo emotional ❤️
One of my favourites💚
It was a good balance of you and music. Good levels. I dont know if it was just me or my headphones but it was a sound like it was raining or like a white noise machine in the background while you were speaking.
Absolutely ethereal! If you haven't already, I would love to see you check out Avi Kaplan's "Change On The Rise."
Yay!! Yay!! Yay!! Thank you for doing this song!!! This ballad is one of my favs of theirs. Sound is nicely balanced now. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! “Can’t help falling in love” and their “evolution of michael jackson” are others you might enjoy. The first is more like this - beautiful and serious - the second is just badass. Love your reactions and insights :)
The sound was great. For the first time I could hear you and the video. Cudos.
The sound is Great! and also such a great reaction =)
💥GREAT REACTION to an AMAZING GROUP!!! 👉PLEASE react to 2 100% Acapella groups Scott (blonde guy) co-founded 🌟"Citizen Queen" - All Girl Acapella group (they have a bass and beatboxer)
👉👉"BUT PLEASE WATCH TILL THE END of the videos so you"ll get to know the girls")
👉Also they made their debut today 🌟"Aca Pop Kids" 100% Acapella they have 2 videos High Hopes and Valerie. ✊Scott is VERY SMART knowing these 2 kinds of groups were needed!! 👍
Everything about your reaction was on point.
I have been LOVING your channel!!! Thank you for making such awesome content! I would love to see you react to some of Superfruit or Scott’s solo/ensemble videos. My favorite is Scott and Mario José singing Lost on You. Keep up the wonderful work!! ❤️
Your on point my man
They are amazing
BTW the sound is good - levels of both you and the video are right on the money.
As Far as i'm Aware Kirsten was ill when they performed this, but it sure didnt stop her in the slightest. Beautiful song definately prefere it over the original. Nice Reaction by the way. And yes the sound is fine for both the video and hearing you speak, it has been on all the videos i have watched of you, always seems spot on to me.
I don't think she wasn't ill but I think had pierced her eyebrow recently. So she has that puffy about to cry look thing going on.
The sound is a much better balance in this video. Your voice is clear and the video sound is strong
Audio: Perfect! Reaction: Stellar! Sound: Superb!
I listen to reactions with headphones on, when you were done at the end while you were talking there was some background interference but your voice came through great, the sound of the actual video you reacted to was also great. Just a slight background hiss when you speak is all. I loved your reaction and am looking forward eagerly to your sing off PTX performances, just one tip when you react to those.. please make sure to wait until after the judges have spoken to stop the video, it is so satisfying :)
Loved your reaction as usual :-D the sound of your voice/mic is great, I would have preferred the music be a little louder but that might be because I had to listen without headphones so it could be me!
Your voice volume and video volume is now at a great place. I can hear you speaking real good now,before the video was ok,but could hear you.but its all together now,good job
