I don't know if you noticed, or if anyone else pointed this out, but it's a "live" recording, and it's one take all the way through, no edits. All of their "Evolution of . . . " videos are done this way.
Avi Kaplan, bearded white guy in the front. True bass and part of the rythmn section, kicks, high hats etc is there from the beginning 2011 through September 2017. Yes heavy announcer voice even when just talking.
Now there are a few of them, I’d REALLY like them to put out an Evolution Of.. Album! Kirstin really came into her own on the Evolution of Beyoncé, but Kevin absolutely knocks the Evolution of Rihanna out of the park! The man doesn’t breathe!!! 😳 I love them all (but the only Medley I truly love, is the 90’s one), but NOBODY can top their Evolution Of’s…
The (too rare) solos by vocal percussionist Kevin Olusola are like the cherry on top - you can hear him in Mary Did You Know and their more recent absolutely devestating rendition of Amazing Grace as well as some jaw dropping solo work on his own channel. Kind of a hidden gem of the group, similar to Avi and now Matt getting solo time. Just shows that there isn't a one-dimensional talent in the bunch. Love your reactions!
Back row left to right - Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying and Kirstie Maldonado. Front row - Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola. Avi left a few years ago and was replaced by Matt Sallee.
Sorry I’m late, had to get to my earbuds before catching a PTX reaction. After the Beginner’s Guide to Pentatonix, which is a fan-made video, but still good, mind catching “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” for me? I need to do another day of catching up on all reactions to that one since the last time I caught up, soon. Been needing a good cry :)
For more to really see Kirsten's amazingness, I HIGHLY recommend "Say Something," which she kills with emotion, and "Amazing Grace." She gets the climax in AG, and it gives me chills every single time. Dude, you also need to see Scott Hoying's "I Should Tell Your Momma On You," (Scott is the blond dude). It's AMAZING. I don't even want to tell you what he does so you can be surprised. But as a DJ, you'll totally appreciate it.
PTX has five of the most talented musicians on the planet. I also recommend you check out Superfruit (a Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying side project). Feeling Myself, Hip Hop Goes Broadway (1 &2), and their Beyoncé mash-up are just a few....just always remember to watch to the very end of their videos....they have bloopers!
Pentatonix first appear on the show the Sing Off and you can watch all of their performances here on YT. They were so young and you could already see their talent.
Back row, left to right: Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado Front row, left to right: Avi Kaplan, Kevin Olusola Back row, left to right: countertenor, baritone (4-octave range from bass to tenor), Soprano (also has a strong alto range) Front row left to right: bass (2011-2017 left for personal reasons. Bass from 2017 to present is Matt Sallee) beatboxer/cellist/tenor
You gotta check out A Little Space LMNT mix it has the current bass Matt (previously Avi the bearded one) but it still tells you who does each part and it has a great message at the end ❕❗
Great reaction! This is my absolute favourite of their evolution videos. Thanks for taking us back through the genius of Michael, as interpreted by Pentatonix. This one gives me chills, too!
Liked your reaction. Recommend their Can You Feel The Love Tonight for Mitch & Kirstin moments. Also, their live 15 minute 4 song set from Popspring 2016. It consists of 3 originals plus this Michael Jackson evolution. Also, their original Love Again with a Mitch lead. Also Rather Be, Say Something, Shallow, Amazing Grace, Seasons Of Love (televised version), Water, Be My Eyes, and Love Me When I Don’t for Kirstin leads/moments. The last 3 were written or co-written by Kirstin.
I don't know if it's been suggested yet, but to really get to know them visually, you should watch their journey on the "Sing Off" which is a competition show and goes into their background a little bit. And in each episode often they talk about each member individually.
I absolutely love your PTX reactions! I have seen a few, but don't know all that you have listened to already. Their version of Amazing Grace is one of my favorites, as well as The Sound of Silence and Mary Did You Know. Love me some problem child!
I'm excited to see these ideas you're getting coming to fruition. Whenever my family hears me say "I've got an idea" they know it's time to run for the hills LOL they know I'm going to gathering up art supplies for something bizarre and complicated and taking up more space than I have -- but it's always fun!
I'd love to watch them create their version of a song. I know they have their new master class, but, that is more teaching others how to put a song together with the expectation that the participants will create their own song. What a great idea! I just want to watch the process, not do it, though. (I have zero talent. 🥴) I hope they give us non-musicians a chance to watch that creativity, too.
@@ClaireBarn If you haven't yet, you should watch PTX "Random jamming / Singing on the fly" ua-cam.com/video/GjhdU1rktpg/v-deo.html It's pretty much just them singing bits and pieces, figuring things out, having a ton of fun with it all. :)
@@Jellysfrickingstuff There are beginnings of some of their songs in this video...a sampling if you like. But I think it will give you some of ideas of what else you'd like to react to and of course some history and information about the group and its members. So glad you are reacting to them. I hope your elections go well!
Their cover of "Starships" does have some introductions... it was their first single, but they really only called out Kirstie and Mitch **edit*** Nevermind, another commenter mentioned a video I didn't know about. "Beginners Guide to Pentatonix"
Watch the new song only released yesterday “Anchor” Mitch is absolutely amazing. Aha (Singapore Star vista), Gold, Hallelujah, imagine, Amazing Grace. Can’t sleep Love are All beautiful. If you want to see something different check out Mitch & Scott as Superfruit….Empire Medley, Guy.exe & I’m feeling myself are all fabulous. I could go on & on. Their whole catalogue of covers & originals are absolutely stunning. Great reaction x
The question is, who is ready for the smoke you hyping up about your mixes? Bring that fire bro. Subbed just so I can see what you got. Great reaction. Make a PTX reaction playlist while it’s still a short list.
@@mrelixertv hey Eilixer, you wanted a clip of how to get to know PTX so I found the perfect one for you ... the very first group performance of PTX on a singing completion called The Sing Off. (Which they won). the clip introduces each original member and how they became a group. FYI later on in the years Avi the base singer leaves the group (on good terms) and is replaced by Matt. anyway you'll pick up all of it from all of us Pentaholics. lol ua-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/v-deo.html hope you enjoy it and see how much they've grown as a group.
Great reaction. Could you react to a PTX original “Love Again”. Also could you react to a mix up of “New Rules” x “Are you that somebody”. Both are amazing. By the way there is also a backstage live version of “Love Again” in which only Kevin (beatboxer) has a mic. I have a feeling you will enjoy them.
I love this entire medley, but I really love it when they build up to the part when they are singing bout the river jordan.. by this time, i'm cryin. it's so amazing. thank you for reaction to this one.
Hello Dj - Don't worry - the PTX member's name that everyone usually learns first is Mitch. I see that you now know all their names now and will be meeting them in VIP in the Bahamas in four days!! Just found your channel and looking at your PTX playlist. Looking forward to seeing you do reactions to Amazing Grace, Hallelujah, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Sound of Silence, Come Along, Mad World and also all the songs from their original album The Lucky Ones which they put out for their 10th Anniversary in 2021.
You don't have a play list for them yet so don't know if you've reacted to this, but I think you would really like their Can't Hold Us. I don't know anything about music but to me it's one of their best.
He’s only done four or five so far, not hard to scroll through them. He hasn’t done that, yet. From memory, I’d say it was 90s Dance Medley, Daft Punk, if he did Can You Feel the Love Tonight, I think it was third, Bohemian Rhapsody, and now this. If I inaccurately remembered the Elton John cover, he’s only done four. Gonna go check my work real quick.
It must’ve been someone else I saw reacting to Elton John, probably on the same day he did Bohemian Rhapsody. So only 4 to find, 3 since you’ve seen this one ;)
They are ALL problem children! But oh what problems, so talented! You should check out their other Evolution of ... Beyonce, Rhianna, Music, Ariana Grande, if you think this was good. I have heard it said that they don't do covers, they do upgrades!
WOW! This was the most fun reaction ever!! I adore Mitchy and you calling him a problem child and Dennis The Mennis had me in tears!! LOL hahahahaha too fun!!!
I'd love to watch them create their version of a song. I know they have their new master class, but, that is more teaching others how to put a song together with the expectation that the participants will create their own song. What a great idea!

This is their Introduction video. ua-cam.com/video/hOlVUxJUDsU/v-deo.html They each introduce themselves, explain the group name, their history, stuff like that
Okay, you wanted names, here you go. From left to right, starting with the back row. The "problem child" is Mitch Grassi, counter tenor. He has a range of 6 octaves plus one note, and that's not counting his whistle tones. Next to Mitch we have Scott Hoying, lyric baritone (i.e. his range extends into both the tenor and the bass). Any time the bass has a solo, Scott handles the underlying bass effects. On the far right in the back we have Kirstin Maldonado (also known as Kirstie - rhymes with thirsty), mezzo soprano, but on occasion she's been known to approach Mitch's high notes. Scott and Kirstie were classmates in high school in Arlington, Texas; and Mitch was in the same school but one year behind them. They've been friends since they were 8 years old. In 2011 they wanted to compete on a television show named The Sing-Off, but the show told them they needed at least 5 members to compete so they went looking for a bass and a beatboxer, which brings us to the front row. On the left we have Avi Kaplan, lyric bass (i.e. his voice extends up into the baritone range). Avi had to leave the group in 2017 because of illness in his family, but he remains friends with them and helped them find their current bass, Matt Sallee. Also, Avi has gone on to have a very successful solo career; you should check out his UA-cam channel. And on the right in the front we have Kevin Olusola, beatboxer extraordinaire, and another lyric baritone. Note: Avi is the *only* member who has left the group. Mitch and Kirstie both change their appearance frequently (hair styles and color, and Mitch's weight tends to be variable), so people sometimes think they see someone new in the group, but it's really Kirstie or Mitch.
@@mrelixertv Any time. I just discovered Pentatonix about a month ago, and when I dove down the rabbit hole I think I must have landed on my head - I've pretty much been doing nothing *but* checking out their songs and reading about the group since. (Okay, when I found out that they'll be in my city for one night in November I also went online and bought tickets - we don't have the best seats in the house, but we'll be there.) Anyway, I'm happy to share what I know.
Beginners guide to Pentatonix link: ua-cam.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/v-deo.html and intro to Matt sallee. But I think you are talking about a little space LMNT REMIX
I don't know if this is the video You wanted to see. This video is titled 107 facts about Pentatonix. It was done 5 years ago so it Won't have matt In it Since he replaced avi in 2017.ua-cam.com/video/Xnkts_Qljks/v-deo.html. Szying Mitch is a problem child and comparing him to Dennis the menace OMG I love your analogies. All the not and analogy I really enjoyed this one... You: "Hey baby can I buy you a drink? You're not missing on that home run." I don't know if you mean home run the way that I Heard it. If you don't know what I mean Go to urban dictionary and type in home run and read the 1st entry. Then go watch meat loaf's paradise by the dashboard light.
Here is a video introduction for PTX ua-cam.com/video/hOlVUxJUDsU/v-deo.html . Avi (bass) left a few years ago. Here is the link to the new bass singer ua-cam.com/video/uAMnXmXNSS0/v-deo.html
nah no need I probably did get a little carried away with this one ..one thing I don't worry about is copyrights ... I already expect them lol I just don't like getting my vids blocked
I do love me a problem child 😂. If you want to see more of Mitch doing his thing check out Aha Star Vista Singapore live you won't be disapointed!
Just keep in mind that although you don't see Kevin (the beatboxer) he is there.
My favorite problem child ever!!
Are you sure he's ready? You really need to build up to to "Aha! Star Vista".
@@ravensouledsluagh You're right, maybe he should work into it 😄
I think he may need to work up to Aha also. It is a lot to take in. Lol We should have started him from the beginning and worked him through...
PTX/The Incredibles! YES!! 🤗❤️🤗
I don't know if you noticed, or if anyone else pointed this out, but it's a "live" recording, and it's one take all the way through, no edits. All of their "Evolution of . . . " videos are done this way.
now that u mention it I have noticed the one takes
Some very good Mitchface in this one. A+
Listen to their Sound of Silence
In the sing off one of the judges asked Kevin if he had an on/ off switch in this throat. LOL
Avi Kaplan, bearded white guy in the front. True bass and part of the rythmn section, kicks, high hats etc is there from the beginning 2011 through September 2017. Yes heavy announcer voice even when just talking.
You really enjoy it🤣🤣 you're very funny.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There's a lot of nicknames for PTX the so call:
Angel voices, the power Rangers...🤔 what else?
You must be thinking of the "Beginners Guide to Pentatonix"
This is a good thing to play
I didn't know this existed... that's awesome.
You would go WILD over their original LOVE AGAIN! 🤣
Proud they point out. no matter your lifestyle we are all brothers and sisters
Amen
PTX equals Perfect Transitions eXecuted.
Love your reactions!
Mitch IS a problem child. 😂
I was so worried that you would choke on your water when he hit that note!!
almost did lol I was like wth 🤣🤣
What amazes me about the "Evolution of" videos is that they are done live and as one straight take!!
thats powerful
Now there are a few of them, I’d REALLY like them to put out an Evolution Of.. Album!
Kirstin really came into her own on the Evolution of Beyoncé, but Kevin absolutely knocks the Evolution of Rihanna out of the park! The man doesn’t breathe!!! 😳
I love them all (but the only Medley I truly love, is the 90’s one), but NOBODY can top their Evolution Of’s…
@@caroleceres can't wait for new album on Oct 29 "Evergreen"
@@caroleceres I just dropped this on the channel and you were right Kevin was a MONSTER
@@mrelixertv I’m telling you! Hats off to that man - he’s a machine!! 🤩😱🤩
Thank you for such a joyous reaction. Watch “the beginners guide to Pentatonix.”
Avi is the bass in this song.
The (too rare) solos by vocal percussionist Kevin Olusola are like the cherry on top - you can hear him in Mary Did You Know and their more recent absolutely devestating rendition of Amazing Grace as well as some jaw dropping solo work on his own channel.

not a problem I got you
You must hear Avi singing Standing By and check out his own music Change On The Rise, it is outstanding!!
I will definitely
You can't go wrong with any of Avi's solo stuff. I recommend Full Moon. Hauntingly beautiful. A must.
Your reactions are so entertaining, please go on! It's so cute when you always say that Mitch is a problem 😁
The reaction totally dominated the video itself. Couldn't hang.
For more to really see Kirsten's amazingness, I HIGHLY recommend "Say Something," which she kills with emotion, and "Amazing Grace."

Yes and yes.

Be My Eyes. Kirsten sings the lead. Beautiful!!!
As a DJ, I think you would appreciate their 90s Dance Music medley, SO much fun!
that was such a fun listen and my introduction to them
You also might be thinking of episode 1 of the sing off
Great Reaction 👍
The Evolution of Rhianna is great too.
I love your energy!
Love it! Came to check it out as soon as I saw the notification.
There a song form PTX you will like called Come Along. A nice holiday song !☺️

I second that!

this made my day today
Yay! I'm so excited you're doing this one. "Young Mike was a bad man." LOL!
lol🤣🤣🤣

Raw n real don't know where I would be without it lol
@@mrelixertv Me either.

no I have not thank you for the heads up appreciate highly
Great reaction to this amazing medley. Glad that you are enjoying Pentatonix because I am enjoying your reactions. Thank you.
So great to see how much you enjoy PTX each time! Evolutions of Rihanna and Beyonce are great with Beyonce being the best for my money.
Hey. You should check out Pentatonix on THE SING OFF tv show. It launched their career and introduced them to the world. Love your reactions!
Wow, tearing them up 😊 So glad you know MJ. Well, check you out in a couple days when your next PTX comes out! 😁😎
can't wait to get to more of there catalog
I absolutely love your PTX reactions! I have seen a few, but don't know all that you have listened to already. Their version of Amazing Grace is one of my favorites, as well as The Sound of Silence and Mary Did You Know. Love me some problem child!

Scott does all the arrangements for ptx.
Scott is a beast
The person that is rarely mentioned is 6th and founding member of Pentatonix. Ben Bram is the literal mastermind behind these arrangements.
Ben is a genius at what he does!
I'd love to watch them create their version of a song. I know they have their new master class, but, that is more teaching others how to put a song together with the expectation that the participants will create their own song. What a great idea!

Watching your reaction to this makes me think -- you need to see "Weird Al" Yankovich's pardoy of Bad, called Fat. Phenomenal and just SO funny!
Hello Dj - Don't worry - the PTX member's name that everyone usually learns first is Mitch. I see that you now know all their names now and will be meeting them in VIP in the Bahamas in four days!! Just found your channel and looking at your PTX playlist. Looking forward to seeing you do reactions to Amazing Grace, Hallelujah, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Sound of Silence, Come Along, Mad World and also all the songs from their original album The Lucky Ones which they put out for their 10th Anniversary in 2021.

The only problem with the compilation "intro" videos, is they have spoilers for a LOT of songs.
They are ALL problem children! But oh what problems, so talented! You should check out their other Evolution of ... Beyonce, Rhianna, Music, Ariana Grande, if you think this was good. I have heard it said that they don't do covers, they do upgrades!
Please consider making a PTX Playlist... The Pentaholics will love you for it! 🤗💖
Done!
Well, it *is* The *Evolution* of Michael Jackson. The point is to take his songs in order, see how they changed over the years.
WOW! This was the most fun reaction ever!! I adore Mitchy and you calling him a problem child and Dennis The Mennis had me in tears!! LOL hahahahaha too fun!!!

Everyone memorizes Mitch first.
This is their Introduction video.

Okay, you wanted names, here you go. From left to right, starting with the back row.

Note: Avi is the *only* member who has left the group. Mitch and Kirstie both change their appearance frequently (hair styles and color, and Mitch's weight tends to be variable), so people sometimes think they see someone new in the group, but it's really Kirstie or Mitch.

and intro to Matt sallee. But I think you are talking about a little space LMNT REMIX
This was recorded in one take.
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I don't think he paused enough.
Lol agreed
It is a reaction video after all - you can watch the original any time you want.
@@lauriedaiken4426 but I like it when they pause a lot. In the original there is no pausing at all so that wouldn't be helpful.
We can't hear the transition because you keep stopping at the transition 🤔
Of course he’s a problem. He seems to really enjoy going around slapping people. But we really enjoy it so…it works out for all of us.
I get a kick every time
I don't know if this is the video You wanted to see. This video is titled 107 facts about Pentatonix. It was done 5 years ago so it Won't have matt In it Since he replaced avi in 2017.ua-cam.com/video/Xnkts_Qljks/v-deo.html.
Szying Mitch is a problem child and comparing him to Dennis the menace OMG I love your analogies.
All the not and analogy I really enjoyed this one...
You: "Hey baby can I buy you a drink? You're not missing on that home run." I don't know if you mean home run the way that I Heard it. If you don't know what I mean Go to urban dictionary and type in home run and read the 1st entry. Then go watch meat loaf's paradise by the dashboard light.
Here is a video introduction for PTX ua-cam.com/video/hOlVUxJUDsU/v-deo.html . Avi (bass) left a few years ago. Here is the link to the new bass singer ua-cam.com/video/uAMnXmXNSS0/v-deo.html
Bless you
You call Mitch “problem child” because you don’t simply accept your Mitch Slap. He’s amazing. Learn to cope with it lol
He stay slapping me up in these songs KML
This video will tell you most everything you need to know! Enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/v-deo.html
It would be good to spell Michael Jackson's name correctly......respect!
Wow your the first person that point that mistake out to me ...I never ever noticed it crazy
I like you as a reactor But, you stop the video Way too much. I know you have to pause, but enough already. Sorry
nah no need I probably did get a little carried away with this one ..one thing I don't worry about is copyrights ... I already expect them lol I just don't like getting my vids blocked
@@mrelixertv It is easy to get carried away with these guys. Nothing but love too you
@@katmbbaker7804 appreciate that highly
Talk too much
😱🥳 sometimes ya get carried away still ya see
It's a reaction. He's supposed to talk. If you don't want talking just listen to the original.
