I love how Kevin sticks up for his beliefs but also how PTX didn't just tell him to get over it or like mock him for it. They are such an amazing group and who ever winds up stealing Kevin's heart will have such a sweet Godly man.
Kevin probably had a minor issue with the lyrics so the producers were like "Make it out to be a big problem!" just so they had some sort of "obstacle" in the package LOL If possible, PTX has gotten better since their Sing-Off days, freakin' love them
Yeah I don't really get why the beatboxer is complaining about the lyrics... Like dude percussion doesn't say ass and titties. Okay now that im here im gonna say some stuff. Kirstie's body roll made me fall on my ass, Kevin is way too beast to complain about his religion (beasts don't need religion, beast are too cray) and Avii should get more singing parts because his voice is fucking beautiful.
Jarret Padua just because he doesn't actually say them, does not mean he can't be uncomfortable with them or the song. With his beliefs it's likely that he doesn't listen to nor like to participate in performing certain songs due to the principle of his beliefs/religion and the message/meanings of the song/lyrics. Js, not trying to start an argument.
Duncan Robertson That's very true. Especially the facial expressions there and the body language they made were completely unnecessary given what was said. The reactions were definitely "enhanced".
Moon Beam Yeah. That was filmed in 2011, and the trio were all 19 at the time. In fact, Mitch was still 18 when they won that audition for the Sing-Off. He didn't turn 19 until July 24 of that year. Amazing AND cute!
Yes we applaud Kevin for standing up for his beliefs. But let's also applaud the whole group for respecting Kevin's beliefs and making sure he's comfortable. This is a true family right here. And I love them so much for that.
Anyone else think that Kevin is one of the most tolerant and accepting hardcore Christians on this earth? He is just...words cannot describe the depth of my respect for him. 🙋😊
God bless Kevin. You can call him puritanical and overly sensitive, but the fact that he has trouble with songs using God's name in vain, but calls Mitch and Scott family? Kevin, brother, I don't know what denomination you are, but there needs to be more of you.
+Metrion77 I agree with you. Kevin is really good person. He believes in God. And for him, everybody deserves to be happy and in peace. He believes that God thinks in the same way. I really love that guy.
I'm really glad to see Kevin being represented with limited criticism by the TV networks. He deserves the respect of his band members, fans, and audiences, because he obviously respects his band, fans, and audiences in return!
+CasaDeBANG hes saying hes happy to see Kevin stand up for what he believes in, even though its not what he believes in. too many people try to be PC im an atheist but im glad that he doesn't give into peer pressure to give up his beliefs for publicity.
All I have to say is that Avi's bass line makes me happy. I have always been obsessed with bass, subs and all, and to hear him do that bass line with his voice is pure magic to my ears.
I'm touched how during Shawn's and Ben's commentarys, when they say that Kevin and Avi did great, Kevin feel relief, like "I'm glad i did not dissapointed them". He did great job. Respect.
Anyone who thinks that christianity has anything to do with killing gay people should never be alowed to speak in public, you only ashame your self. Christian black dude on PTX is awesome and I applaud him to speak his mind.
4stringedbass You know nothing about christianity. This text does not represent the course of action of christians, never did, it has others reasons and pupose. So shut up, please.
4stringedbass Fucked up is the liberal "moral guideline" that theaches that is ok to kill a unborn child and a terrible crime to bring down a tree. The Bible preaches nothing. It is a book, it tells stories and registrates important events. The Bible is to be understand as it is, 73 or 66 books, depending if you are catholic or protestan, that were wrote separatly by diferent people in diferent times. The book of Leviticus is civil Law code and it has a very very thin relation with christianity, witch would apear 2000 year later. Yet we christians believe that God gave it to the jews for their improval, but it does not serve as a "moral guideline". You ignorance toward christianity only shines brightter when you point out that you were raised a christian. You left your fathers faith without learning anything from it. You just went with the crowd throwing stones at what raised you.
OK, let me throw in my weight. I am sick and tired of every argument over christianity going this direction. Both of you are way out of line, but it started with 4stringedbass flaming Lucas. I am absolutely sick of everyone quoting Leviticus 20:13. Anyone with a competent knowledge of the bible KNOWS that Leviticus and Deuteronomy (as well as a great deal of the old testament) were the Law of Moses, much of which was replaced by a higher standard during Christ's ministry. Sure, we still believe that the ACT of homosexuality (not the attraction, but acting on it) is a sin, but we do not believe that people must die for it. Let me teach you something else about the bible. In the wrong hands, it is a tool of destruction and hatred. In the right hands, it brings life and peace. Unfortunately, in a world where only the radicals are seen, turns out those people are the "wrong hands" that I'm talking about. It's like saying a romance is about hatred and war and death because people are killed and there's a bloody war and whatnot. If you look at the true center of Christianity - not the Abrahamic portion, but Jesus Christ and his teachings, you will see that the teachings are NOT about hatred and enmity. In the end, though, both of you need to shape up. Taking jabs at one another is going to get you nowhere. Lucas, read Galatians 5:13-26, King James Version or Revised English Version (Revised Standard Version?), then live by those standards. Practice what you preach. 4stringedbass, if you want to be tolerated, learn to tolerate others. End of story.
+JMcAfreak, do you think i do not love him because I was harsh on my response? You are surely mistaken, my brother. My harshness was only due to the guileful content of his answer, those lies are spread out there breaking the faith of many christians and seeding hatred towards christianity. I am brasilian and my country is at mayhem because of this kind of lies and the rest of the world is no better. Me answering him was an act of love, to him and to every one reading. So they can see that this are LIES politicaly used to depose christiany out of the public discussion, we have an obligation to answer to this as harsh as we can to expose it. And you said the same thing I did, there is no disagreement between us.
Lucas Vieira I understand that your harshness was not out of hatred. That part of my comment (about the gospel not being about hatred, etc), was mostly pointed toward 4stringedbass, in rebuttal to his statement. As far as your belief in answering as harshly as possible, I don't think that's the Christlike move to make. When someone slings mud in your direction, there's no need to throw mud back. The constant harshness and arguing between the two groups is exactly the problem. When you argue, derail, and vilify--even if it's all true--isn't that still what Satan wants? It's still contention, and it still creates a rift between people. The only way to combat lies is to spread truth, peacefully. Harsh words can often have the reverse effect by driving others to dislike christians because they're just mean. The only way to combat that is to break the cycle. Spread happiness. Spread faith, hope, charity, and love. A prophet in the Book of Mormon said Charity is the pure love of Christ. If that is true, then we ought to show charity in our deeds. It is also said in one of Paul's epistles that without charity, we are nothing. In short, let your light shine before the world, but don't let it flicker or be darkened by contention.
Anyone would be lucky to be with Kevin, he is absolutely the sweetest thing ever. Avi's voice makes ovaries explode. Mitch is the queen and he slays all. Kirsti(I think this is how you spell it.)looks beautiful as always. And Scott is just an all around cool guy, I think he really cares about the other's in the group
Outstanding that Kevin stood up for his beliefs, that he was comfortable enough to do so knowing what potentially was on the line speaks volumes about his commitment to his morals/values as well as his commitment to the other members of his group. Equally outstanding that the other members of his group responded in kind by standing up for Kevin, which likewise speaks to the group’s morals/values and their commitment to each other. They’ve already shown their ‘one for all’ side and now we’ve seen their ‘all for one’ side as well. Truly outstanding and more, role models to boot.
Always really, really, really respected how PTX handled religious conflict with a song choice. They're a multi-gender, multi-ethnic, multi-sexual, multi-theistic group and do it all with respect and compassion.
So proud of Kevin and the fact that he stood up for his belief and also so proud of the rest of the group who was able to respect that. Great performers, great musicians, great people!
I love the fact that Kevin was able to stand by his beliefs like that and that his group was willing to adapt for him. And they still did FANTASTIC!!! That's the sign of true talent and skill, the lyrics didn't matter because they shined! I LOVE Pentatonix!!!!
THANKYOU!!!! For changing the God lyrics to gosh! Thank you so much Pentatonix! It makes such a big difference. Just the fact that you'd do that for your boy in itself means so much. Thank you again!
Magalí Fernández Pentatonix sung the 'gosh' lyric the whole way through but Usher's original does say 'God' however the Radio Edit release was changed to 'gosh'. A number of artists do things like that :)
People automatically equate Christians with stuck up, puritanicals, and that is simply not the case. Christians are just normal people with different standards. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kevin standing up for what he believes in. It honestly should be commended. Also, the way that the group adjusted the song so the entire group could connect to it is truly outstanding. You all should follow the example of Pentatonix. Let people believe whatever they want to believe without judgment or ridicule. You don't have to agree. You just have to have an open mind.
Sure people can believe whatever they please. But any beliefs are subject to criticism and scrutiny. If your going to put an idea out into the marketplace of ideas. It will be criticized. Belief doesnt play a role when it comes to truth however. If i believe black people are sub-human. Are my beliefs ok? The facts are that black and white people are all equally human. So someones beliefs can be wrong. What if i believe water boils at 150 degrees celcius? Are my beliefs valid? Of course not water boils at 100 degrees. Belief doesnt not affect truth and fact. So belief regarding god is one thing. No one knows if god exists. Beliefs about things that are evidently not true. Deserve to be criticized.
props up to Kev for staying true to Christ!! and being courageous enough to say he has an issue with the lyrics so kindly!!! 👏👏👏 love from a fellow christian ♡
Yea, I don't like the meat and potatoes analogy at all. Yup, they picked an incredible drum and bass section that makes the group what it is. But then the trio makes the group what it is too. They don't just 'hold it down' with the vocals, they are phenomenal. There is not one single member of Pentatonix you could easily swap out for someone else, even if they were talented. You could try a million times over and hold XFactor/Idol sized auditions and not find a blend of five people that's that good. That's what's mind-blowing about them. Three people grew up together who happened to be amazingly talented and amazing together and then managed to pick amazing people to join. What are the chances?
ZdPhoenix Pentatonix is definitely a great example of the hole being greater than the sum of the parts. Each of the five could have decent solo careers if they wanted to but they are definitely stronger when together.
Yeah I don't like it either but in fact, it's the truth. I mean they are all great and the group works because of each and every member of Pentatonix, but without those two, they are just great singers. Kevin and Avi is what most other groups are missing. It sounds bad doesn't it, don't mean to be insulting but I do realize it comes off that way.
Sabrina S My problem is with that very idea of having 'just great singers' as if all those other groups had a combination of singers anywhere near this sort of level. It's really devaluing to what the trio bring. Either the group works because of each and every member, or it's the meat and potatos that make the dish . . . those two sentiments don't mesh. And I think it's a pretty insulting analogy and clearly wrong.
ZdPhoenix I'm not going to continue the conversation because I do realize it comes out as insulting, and you do need all of them to be the group they are and that's where I will leave it at lol
I bow down my head for Kevin sticking with his religious beliefs, and the group trying to work with it. This is a group who is going to be around for years to come
0:25- 0:28 Kirstie was looking at Mitch saying "Oh my Gosh, I'm so in love" and it looks like Avi is looking at Kirstie like "Um..... look at me!!!!!" I love PTX so much
+periquete Uh - about two seconds in to the first time set foot on the stage. But who cares... I surprised the black guy can be in the band with a gay guy.....
Mitch Morrell ... Uh, why couldn't he be? And Kevin is actually a very kind man, and acts mostly like "a white guy would act" Even though race isn't really a factor in personality. :/
I love love love Pentatonix...(i just discovered them 5 days ago and i haven't stopped watching them. I haven't read all the post because there are so many so everyone might know this already....but Scott eyes at 1:38-1:41 when Avi says let the beat drop.,....OMG......
Obviously God gave him a gift, and it's almost impossible to ignore that. So happy for Pentatonix to be as huge as they are now. I hope they go on to impact and inspire even more people, especially when the people know how humble they started out.
Randomkillerqueen Only 4? I've watched this playlist at least 9 times... can't get enough and it's a great distraction while I'm setting up the drums or working on schoolwork.
I think they are a really great group that excepts every kind of religion, respect that person, whatever belief Kevin believes in, doesn't judge and still do a great job in this song. Love them!
Aww I love Kevin! Sticking with his beliefs, as a Christian myself it makes me happy :) but I love everyone in this group all great voices! I'm now obsessed!
I respect him sooooo much for standing up for what he believes in. Love it. Showed what true Christianity is supposed to be. Wasn’t hateful but yet stood up.
I call this a little witnessing in the way that he expressed his problem, showing that he's in the world but he's not of the world. Basically showing the his relationship with God is more important by having pentatonix modify the lyrics showing that he wasn't going to compromise his relationship with God. Way to go Kevin!
It is called humility. I mean that not in a mean or sarcastic way. Literally, as Christians we are called to be humble as THE LORD JESUS is. Kevin loves the compliments, but is not letting them go to his head. He is also letting GOD WHO GAVE KEVIN HIS GIFT have the GLORY AND HONOR, because it ALL BELONGS to HIM! My take is it ALMOST sounds as if they WORSHIP those two for their gift. I am NOT saying that they ARE, but it is HIGH, HIGH, praise, and can, if we let it, make us prideful, so that is why Kevin, and. All of us Christians are CAREFUL to stay humble, lest we FORGET WHO GAVE US OUR GIFT!!
same. what upsets me about this is that I neva heard if them until end last year to the beginning of this year. now all I usually listen to now is pentatonix, would that make me a pentaholic? idk... lol
+demyx axel Your most definitely a pentaholic! I didnt really know about them until February of this year. And its just like: I could've known about them then and I could of watched them grow. But at least we get to listen to their music at all:)
So hooked on the v pentatonix such unique talented beautiful people with beautiful voices of angels there all amazing my dear friend john introduced me to them last week now I'm addicted to them and watching them all perform there y'all awesome ))) !!!
It was sorta hard to watch Kevin do this. But... He must be like one of the sweetest, most tolerant, kindest people to be able to do this and still be absolutely amazing. 😍
Good for you Kevin for speaking up and for standing up for something that you believe is important. Thanks for being true to yourself and your religion.I admire you. Keep it up.
![Lp. Сердце Вселенной #60 РОЖДЕНИЕ ЛОЛОЛОШКИ [Финал] • Майнкрафт](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/YoR0pAV9FVQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Kevin is so underrated like he was obviously really upset that he might have let them all down. He's so lovely.
Sophie Downton he needs to do alot changing voices very hard he should get ALOT of credit fir that
Ikr like yeah was so awesome
I've always noticed that Kirstie's really good at dancing. She's so talented!!! Oh but we should NEVER forget Avi's hips either.
Joshua Min She was on her high school's dance team!
+Brenda Tan where'd you learn that? I wanna learn more about her!
***** oh ok so it may or may not be true? But I believe it because she's a really good dancer 😂
***** thanks
Never😏
People are like"Avi sang so low when he said Let the beat drop" He's literally just talking. That is how magical Avriel Benjamin Kaplan is.
thats an amazing name
what
Annette S When does Avi say that? I can't find it!
Tia Z at the very beginning , right after Scott says "Oh my gosh, I did it again so imma" and then Avi says "let the beat drop"
Tia Z at 1:37 :P
I love how Kevin sticks up for his beliefs but also how PTX didn't just tell him to get over it or like mock him for it. They are such an amazing group and who ever winds up stealing Kevin's heart will have such a sweet Godly man.
Leigh is such a lucky gal
I swear Kevin's the sweetest guy in the world
***** Oh mai gawsh really? haha😂
***** I see you often in PTX related videos as well. Glad that we're all awesome pentaholics!
I see you on every PTX vid, and I think I follow you on instagram!
SlimePlaysPepsi omg really haha! Such a coincidence:)
Ivy Grassi-Hoying Mitch at 2:45!!1
Kevin probably had a minor issue with the lyrics so the producers were like "Make it out to be a big problem!" just so they had some sort of "obstacle" in the package LOL
If possible, PTX has gotten better since their Sing-Off days, freakin' love them
That's what I thought! xD

ArmySister2
That being said, the way he said it... I'm pretty dang sure it was staged lol.
Duncan Robertson
That's very true. Especially the facial expressions there and the body language they made were completely unnecessary given what was said. The reactions were definitely "enhanced".
I love watching teen-aged Mitch jumping up and down on the stage. Love that boyish enthusiasm!
Three of them are teens; isn't it amazing? They are so cute
Moon Beam Yeah. That was filmed in 2011, and the trio were all 19 at the time. In fact, Mitch was still 18 when they won that audition for the Sing-Off. He didn't turn 19 until July 24 of that year. Amazing AND cute!
he’s so precious
Did you know Kevin was accepted to Yale, Brown, Stanford, and Princeton, and decided to go to Yale? I was like "dayum"
Wth. Seriously??!! He really is a freak of nature.
conjestion lmao ikr
+Abominable Snow Panda You forgot University of Pennsylvania
he dropped out to be in ptx. that made his parents mad because they immigrated from nigeria so he could be a doctor
+Kailyn Wynn where did u hear that?
Yes we applaud Kevin for standing up for his beliefs.
But let's also applaud the whole group for respecting Kevin's beliefs and making sure he's comfortable.
This is a true family right here.
And I love them so much for that.
Anyone else think that Kevin is one of the most tolerant and accepting hardcore Christians on this earth? He is just...words cannot describe the depth of my respect for him. 🙋😊
Seventh Day Adventist is synonymous with hardcore Christian
Colleen McMonagle I feel you and we must but if there some Pentaholic not respect well they are not a Pentaholic and I do
he has my respect as a fellow open-minded christian. i would not have been able to do an explicit song in his place.
God bless Kevin. You can call him puritanical and overly sensitive, but the fact that he has trouble with songs using God's name in vain, but calls Mitch and Scott family? Kevin, brother, I don't know what denomination you are, but there needs to be more of you.
+Metrion77 I agree with you. Kevin is really good person. He believes in God. And for him, everybody deserves to be happy and in peace. He believes that God thinks in the same way. I really love that guy.
+Metrion77 kevin is seventh day adventist :)
+Metrion77 props to him for standing up for his beliefs. Wish there were more people like him in showbiz.
2 true.
And Avi
"Let the beat drop", ~Avi Kaplan #nuffsaid
More like "let the panties drop"

THIS GUY NEEDS MORE LIKES PEOPLE!! WHERE ARE YOUR THUMBS?!? I WANT TO SEE THUMBS UP ON THIS COMMENT GUYS! GO GO GO
#nuffsaid
I'm really glad to see Kevin being represented with limited criticism by the TV networks. He deserves the respect of his band members, fans, and audiences, because he obviously respects his band, fans, and audiences in return!
RESPECT for staying true to your beliefs, and still bringing a great performance!
Oh, and LOVE Kirsty's dark hair. It looks amazing!
I'm an atheist, and it makes me so very glad to see Kevin standing up for his beliefs, bless him omg
+Lisa Wang Who do you want to bless Kevin? jk!!
Do you know what his beliefs are, because it sounds like you're calling him an atheist...
+CasaDeBANG hes saying hes happy to see Kevin stand up for what he believes in, even though its not what he believes in. too many people try to be PC im an atheist but im glad that he doesn't give into peer pressure to give up his beliefs for publicity.
Ian Perry How can you be PC about religion?
I don't know man it seems just so dumb to freak out over lyrics, its not like they wrote the song.
can we please talk about how Kirstie has ALL the moves?!
Lol yeah, them body rolls do not fail.
Don't forget Avi. His hips don't lie
All I have to say is that Avi's bass line makes me happy. I have always been obsessed with bass, subs and all, and to hear him do that bass line with his voice is pure magic to my ears.
And I mean 1:57
I love how Scott Avi and Kevin are wearing ties and Mitch is slaying with that scarf
Could we just admire Avi's hip movements around the 3 minute mark... OMG AVI
Nikkita Racha I am so glad I am not the only one who notice it. Like OMG AVI!
Kurtsiecolferite S Your comment literally made me snort... XD but I know what you mean
OMG indeed!!!
Shawn's voice honestly sounds so pretty at 4:19
reneanduray True!
reneanduray Shawn,his voice is insane for real
reneanduray who the fuck is shawn
I love how Mitch was like, "YES, SEAN!"
Kurtsiecolferite S Oh, I didn't really think that through. I thought you were calling Scott Shawn. *moving on now*
I'm touched how during Shawn's and Ben's commentarys, when they say that Kevin and Avi did great, Kevin feel relief, like "I'm glad i did not dissapointed them". He did great job. Respect.

Proud of Kev for pulling through on this one and still giving it 1,115%, despite being uncomfortable with it at first.
Anyone would be lucky to be with Kevin, he is absolutely the sweetest thing ever.
Avi's voice makes ovaries explode.
Mitch is the queen and he slays all.
Kirsti(I think this is how you spell it.)looks beautiful as always.
And Scott is just an all around cool guy, I think he really cares about the other's in the group
Kirstin
Yeah, Scott's a natural leader.
At 4:24 Mitch was like "DAYMN OK!!" So much sass it is soo cute and Kirstie's reaction was priceless!!!
the fucking side glance scott does after singing "oh my gosh" at the beginning kills me 😍😶 i notice it every time i watch it gdi
+namsterjoekekeke Omg I can't stop replaying it now
OH MY GOD
(pun not intended lol, didn't realise that before XD)
kirstie's body rolls are my everything tbh
agreed
andreakxn the whole group's body rolls are literally my everything imo
"We should take out the booty line"
As Scott draws the outline of a butt with his hands lmao.
I never get tired of hearing Shawn Stockman sing,
Outstanding that Kevin stood up for his beliefs, that he was comfortable enough to do so knowing what potentially was on the line speaks volumes about his commitment to his morals/values as well as his commitment to the other members of his group.
Equally outstanding that the other members of his group responded in kind by standing up for Kevin, which likewise speaks to the group’s morals/values and their commitment to each other.
They’ve already shown their ‘one for all’ side and now we’ve seen their ‘all for one’ side as well.
Truly outstanding and more, role models to boot.
Always really, really, really respected how PTX handled religious conflict with a song choice. They're a multi-gender, multi-ethnic, multi-sexual, multi-theistic group and do it all with respect and compassion.
I love Pentatonix because they're a group that respects each other and is not racist. :)
Eri Berry
Or homophobic or sexist
So proud of Kevin and the fact that he stood up for his belief and also so proud of the rest of the group who was able to respect that. Great performers, great musicians, great people!
Anyone who is watching this in 2015 is awesome.
Pentaholics hollaa
I am watching this june 16 2015. And you don't have to tell me I am awesome.
I watch this almost every week!! Like OMG
Ashley Smith you mean everyday????
what about 2016
2017 says hi o/
Also, 4:24. Mitch just be like "yas queen slay!"
I love the fact that Kevin was able to stand by his beliefs like that and that his group was willing to adapt for him. And they still did FANTASTIC!!! That's the sign of true talent and skill, the lyrics didn't matter because they shined! I LOVE Pentatonix!!!!
THANKYOU!!!! For changing the God lyrics to gosh! Thank you so much Pentatonix! It makes such a big difference. Just the fact that you'd do that for your boy in itself means so much. Thank you again!
The original said Oh my gosh :v
Magalí Fernández
Pentatonix sung the 'gosh' lyric the whole way through but Usher's original does say 'God' however the Radio Edit release was changed to 'gosh'. A number of artists do things like that :)
People automatically equate Christians with stuck up, puritanicals, and that is simply not the case. Christians are just normal people with different standards. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Kevin standing up for what he believes in. It honestly should be commended. Also, the way that the group adjusted the song so the entire group could connect to it is truly outstanding. You all should follow the example of Pentatonix. Let people believe whatever they want to believe without judgment or ridicule. You don't have to agree. You just have to have an open mind.
Sure people can believe whatever they please. But any beliefs are subject to criticism and scrutiny. If your going to put an idea out into the marketplace of ideas. It will be criticized. Belief doesnt play a role when it comes to truth however. If i believe black people are sub-human. Are my beliefs ok? The facts are that black and white people are all equally human. So someones beliefs can be wrong. What if i believe water boils at 150 degrees celcius? Are my beliefs valid? Of course not water boils at 100 degrees. Belief doesnt not affect truth and fact. So belief regarding god is one thing. No one knows if god exists. Beliefs about things that are evidently not true. Deserve to be criticized.
We need more respect and love for each other. Pentatonix has lived this. Mad respect
"Let the beat drop"
2:49 there's moment when music sounds so good that you get a chill down your spine. That happens every time I hear this part
4:23 Mitch: DAYYUUUMMMM
Fetus Mitch was still sassy! Haha, and then look at Kirstie's face after he says it.
props up to Kev for staying true to Christ!! and being courageous enough to say he has an issue with the lyrics so kindly!!! 👏👏👏 love from a fellow christian ♡
I really want to be like him :)
Its fabricated drama for the show. It probably wasnt a big deal but they made it a huge deal for the audience.
I love how willing they were to compromise with Kevin's beliefs to make the performance come together, instead of letting it come between them. :)
Yea, I don't like the meat and potatoes analogy at all. Yup, they picked an incredible drum and bass section that makes the group what it is. But then the trio makes the group what it is too. They don't just 'hold it down' with the vocals, they are phenomenal.
There is not one single member of Pentatonix you could easily swap out for someone else, even if they were talented. You could try a million times over and hold XFactor/Idol sized auditions and not find a blend of five people that's that good. That's what's mind-blowing about them. Three people grew up together who happened to be amazingly talented and amazing together and then managed to pick amazing people to join. What are the chances?
ZdPhoenix Pentatonix is definitely a great example of the hole being greater than the sum of the parts. Each of the five could have decent solo careers if they wanted to but they are definitely stronger when together.
Yeah I don't like it either but in fact, it's the truth. I mean they are all great and the group works because of each and every member of Pentatonix, but without those two, they are just great singers. Kevin and Avi is what most other groups are missing. It sounds bad doesn't it, don't mean to be insulting but I do realize it comes off that way.
Yes! Could not have said that better myself!!
Sabrina S
My problem is with that very idea of having 'just great singers' as if all those other groups had a combination of singers anywhere near this sort of level. It's really devaluing to what the trio bring.
Either the group works because of each and every member, or it's the meat and potatos that make the dish . . . those two sentiments don't mesh. And I think it's a pretty insulting analogy and clearly wrong.
ZdPhoenix I'm not going to continue the conversation because I do realize it comes out as insulting, and you do need all of them to be the group they are and that's where I will leave it at lol
I bow down my head for Kevin sticking with his religious beliefs, and the group trying to work with it. This is a group who is going to be around for years to come
0:25- 0:28 Kirstie was looking at Mitch saying "Oh my Gosh, I'm so in love" and it looks like Avi is looking at Kirstie like "Um..... look at me!!!!!"
I love PTX so much
yeah but mitch's gay and avi's not in love with kirstie lol
#kavi
Katie Plant nah... #scirstie for lifeeeee
#scomiche #kavi #scolex #damnishipalotofpeople #ineedtostopusinghashtags
ah when i need more fanfics to read i start reading kavi ones and I just pretend its scott instead of avi... oops.
I think it's funny that Kirstie covers her mouth and mic for the "drop" at 3:12. She is making some really wild noises.
yea that threw me a bit...literally lol
LELELELELELLE
She sings the same thing as Mitch now when they do this song live. Which makes sense. I think it sounds better without that :P
You know, I think at this point in time, the judges were like,"Yeah, Mitch is definitely gay."
I love Mitch OMG
periquete I completely agree.
+periquete Uh - about two seconds in to the first time set foot on the stage. But who cares...
I surprised the black guy can be in the band with a gay guy.....
Mitch Morrell ... Uh, why couldn't he be? And Kevin is actually a very kind man, and acts mostly like "a white guy would act" Even though race isn't really a factor in personality. :/
***** OH- Okay, but there's literally been no mention about his sexuality from Kevin, so... No issue?
MEAT AND POTATOES WAS BORN AT 4:47 WHAATTTTT
It was born before this - watch their 8th performance
+gfilms Shawn renamed Kevin and Avi, Meat and Potatoes after their performance of Video Killed The Radio Star, which was their 4th performance.
Meat and Potatoes was first mentioned here but it was officially born after their "Since You've Been Gone/Forget You" performance
I love them all but dang Kevin, you are amazing! And Avi.. those hips do NOT lie.
Love that the judges always give credit where credit is due to Avi and Kev. also yeaaahhh avi roll those hips
i love kirstie's faces when they finish a song and the audience bursts into applause
I love how at 4:20 or so Mitch is like "Dayum! Okay!" and Kirstie just cackles at him.
AUBREE!
YES!
+Aubree Jackson I love your fanfics
+Lexi Luther OMG thank you!
I love love love Pentatonix...(i just discovered them 5 days ago and i haven't stopped watching them. I haven't read all the post because there are so many so everyone might know this already....but Scott eyes at 1:38-1:41 when Avi says let the beat drop.,....OMG......
I'm so glad they honored Kevin with this performance. Good for them for honoring their friend.
Avi is the one person on this earth i would go gay for
I'm a shamed to admit this but I would too.
I'm not
I'd go straight for him ;)
I'm just here with my asexual self
+Nikkita Racha yeah, me too
Avi body rolls and hip movements is what I live for !😭😍🙌🏼 3:00
Obviously God gave him a gift, and it's almost impossible to ignore that.
So happy for Pentatonix to be as huge as they are now. I hope they go on to impact and inspire even more people, especially when the people know how humble they started out.
Avi's body rolls...
***** True!
I died
Avi's hips tho
(yeah I came back to watch it again haha)
It's hard not to haha! ;D
lol this'll be my fourth time. :/
Randomkillerqueen Only 4? I've watched this playlist at least 9 times... can't get enough and it's a great distraction while I'm setting up the drums or working on schoolwork.
I know, I've done the exact same thing! :D
I was just mentioning on their Can't Hold Us cover how Avie really seems to like gyrating.
4:24
Mitch: DAAAYUM!
I could listen to Avi say 'let the beat drop' all freakin' day...
I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHERE THE PENTALARM WAS AND NOW I'VE FOUND IT 😂😂😂
I think they are a really great group that excepts every kind of religion, respect that person, whatever belief Kevin believes in, doesn't judge and still do a great job in this song. Love them!
"Let the beat drop."
Yup, I lost it.
Pentatonix \m/
I look up to Kevin for standing up for God despite the majority
I love MITCH and he's grown so provocative over the years👑
when avi says 'let the beat drop' .just.omg.
I love the fact that they respect Kevin's beliefs and he stood up for them in the first place. Can't love these guys enough
Aww I love Kevin! Sticking with his beliefs, as a Christian myself it makes me happy :) but I love everyone in this group all great voices! I'm now obsessed!
The body rolls that avi did...OMG I'm so in love.
When Avi said "let the beat drop"...my heart just stopped and i got chills...i love his voice
1:40 I get chills every time. That was so f!cking amazing.
i read that as I listened to that part and I did too haha
I respect him sooooo much for standing up for what he believes in. Love it. Showed what true Christianity is supposed to be. Wasn’t hateful but yet stood up.
Kevin and avi are the two pieces of that puppy puzzle that fell in the couch cushions and ptx were so lucky to find them
YAY HE'S RELIGIOUS!!! I AM TOO!!
Now we can see him in heaven!
lol ikr we can jam out with jesus!! WOO HOO!!!
Tierra Otto hahaa, i hope you come to your senses when you get older like I did :')
bunny少女 It'd be pretty damn funny if the Flying Spaghetti Monster was the true God, then we'd all be jokes for making a mockery of him/her.
wat is that even supposed to mean Mike Hunt?
Nicely done
Especially Avi and Kirstie
Yeah no one ever gives Kirsty any credit so thank you for doing so.
Andrea Budesheim *Kirstie
4:24 Mitch's future sass shows itself. He's like " YASSSSSSS!".
I love SO MUCH how Kevin isn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs. (Also, he will always be my fav, 'cause dat cello, man.)
I cry of laughter everytime the beat drops😂
I love them so much but after watching Mitchs reaction to that siren voice I can't help but laugh at at
I call this a little witnessing in the way that he expressed his problem, showing that he's in the world but he's not of the world. Basically showing the his relationship with God is more important by having pentatonix modify the lyrics showing that he wasn't going to compromise his relationship with God. Way to go Kevin!
I'm so glad that this group considered Kevin and his beliefs. It makes me really happy to see that.
Kevin sounded so upset that he might ruin the group because he's a Christian awwww
And yet, he had no problem singing "Let's get it on" the very next song...
jfogg61 There is a big difference homie, nice try tho.
jfogg61 lol sex isn't wrong to the Christian, its the WHO you're havin sex with!
See that statement is one of the things wrong with so called Christians....they need to mind their own business....they sin plenty and need to shut up
Penny Wells care to elaborate?
I love Kevin!! He is the person that doesn't add the bad words in the songs and I love it
Kevin never looks happy when someone says a compliment to you but Avi has the best smile i ever seen
It is called humility. I mean that not in a mean or sarcastic way. Literally, as Christians we are called to be humble as THE LORD JESUS is. Kevin loves the compliments, but is not letting them go to his head. He is also letting GOD WHO GAVE KEVIN HIS GIFT have the GLORY AND HONOR, because it ALL BELONGS to HIM! My take is it ALMOST sounds as if they WORSHIP those two for their gift. I am NOT saying that they ARE, but it is HIGH, HIGH, praise, and can, if we let it, make us prideful, so that is why Kevin, and. All of us Christians are CAREFUL to stay humble, lest we FORGET WHO GAVE US OUR GIFT!!
CARRIE THOMPSON Your caps lock is broken.
When Kevin said drop all a capella hell broke lose
And yes I'm watching this 4 years later don't judge my life.
same. what upsets me about this is that I neva heard if them until end last year to the beginning of this year. now all I usually listen to now is pentatonix, would that make me a pentaholic? idk... lol
+demyx axel Your most definitely a pentaholic! I didnt really know about them until February of this year. And its just like: I could've known about them then and I could of watched them grow. But at least we get to listen to their music at all:)
Mitch in a scarf?!? 😍😍 anyone else?!?!
Emily Ovalle yaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
I was happy to see Kevin standing up for his beliefs. It's nice to see that nowdays.
I love how Shawn thinks he's done for the night... He had no idea how mindblowing the next perfomance of the night would be :D
So hooked on the v pentatonix such unique talented beautiful people with beautiful voices of angels there all amazing my dear friend john introduced me to them last week now I'm addicted to them and watching them all perform there y'all awesome ))) !!!
LOVE HOW KEVIN STOOD UP FOR JESUS!
dayum with kirstie's dancing ...... o.o
It was sorta hard to watch Kevin do this. But... He must be like one of the sweetest, most tolerant, kindest people to be able to do this and still be absolutely amazing. 😍
I could listen to and watch them all day!
Oh Kevin, I wondered why I loved you so much. Thank you for being a brave faithful man. Courageous should be your name.
Kirstie was AMAZING
I love Pentatonix one of my favorite groups from the sing off who won
I am Mitch's hand at 4:23
lmao
It was unbelievably good and I'm so impressed that Kevin wasn't willing to compromise his believes. Way to go!!
Good for you Kevin for speaking up and for standing up for something that you believe is important. Thanks for being true to yourself and your religion.I admire you. Keep it up.
