Scott asked if they could throw in the last key change, and Mitch was like, sure, why not, I can hit the stars with my voice! I just love his voice so much. This was so fantastic! Great reaction, I like how you can really appreciate all that goes behind the music.
Her name is Kirstin, which is the name she officially uses in album credits etc, but she mostly goes by Kirstie. In their cover of Starships, she raps "my name is Kirstin but you can call me Kirstie". On her solo album she goes by Kirstin TM, with the TM in small print right after the "N", but it doesn't stand for "trademark". It's a clever play on her full name, Kirstin Taylor Maldonado. A lot of people mispronounce her name as "Keerstin" (and some women with that name pronounce it that way), but I heard her in an interview once say, "most people call me Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty, and my real name is Kirstin, so you're thirstin' for Kirstin." I love that she has a good sense of humor about it. When asked about how people call her Kristin or Kristy, she said "they're the people that don't matter."
@@JacobRestituto Scott always cover the bass when the base sings the lead - something that a lot of reactors miss or assume is double tracked when it's not. Scott has a very large range. He used to perform a solo on tour to highlight his range - and because people just didn't believe it. Check out "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You - Scott Hoying (Red Cover)" It's an a ccapella cover wherein he jumps from Tenor to Bass and back again in rapaid succession repeatedly while also maintaining a complex rythmn on his chest with his hand. I think you'll enjoy it! Here's a link to make it easy ua-cam.com/video/Px2mE7yOTew/v-deo.html
Mitch is amazing in this one. I love that it all appears effortless to him. I can say that I have never seen the Lion King movies or stage show but I love this version of the song
Her actual name is Kirstin, but when PtX first started and she was younger, she liked being called Kirstie, so really you can use either name and us pentaholics will be fine with it
Three modulations! 3!!! Beautifully done. Love the movie themed outfits... Scott & Matt were Pumba & Timone; Kirstin & Kevin were Nala & Simba. Mitch was the ever colorful Zazu! Elton John wrote that song and 3 others for The Lion King.
* I totally listen for all of Mitch's high notes. the "flute" is Mitch. The song is an amazing one, and Elton got the Oscar ! Gorgeous voices and a passionate song.
Kirstie - like thirsty and analog to that Kirstin with just an n - perhaps today rather Kirstin, as she is a grown woman ;) and Kirstie feels more appropriate for her younger self ... THX for your reaction! Greetings from Germany
I think Kirstin did what a lot of young women do when moving from young adult to adult and decided to use her full name. I know at least one Chris who became Christine after college graduation.
It's hard to remember what I've heard you react to from Pentatonix. However, if you haven't already, please react to "Sing" which is an original of theirs and highly familiar because it was used by the NFL on Thursday Night Football. Also, please react to Todrick Hall's collaboration with Pentatonix for "The Wizard of Ahhhs." Thanks
You should check out the behind the scenes or making of this music video! They joke around about how they decided to have 3 key changes and things like that! It's quite fun 😊
Good news! It's both Kirstin and Kirstie. These days she seems to be going by Kirstin as formal designation for professional purposes but her friends often use Kirstie when referring to her. Just a guess but I think she would be cool with her fans using either name.
Fantastic reaction Jacob, thank you. It's great that you are backing up a few seconds to keep the flow of the songs. When you don't know what's coming it's hard to know the best place to pause. Love your reactions, keep em coming :)
You should check out Geoff Castellucci's newest cover Sixteen Tons. He's the bass singer for VoicePlay. I think you would really like his newest video. He uses some tools as instruments, and he does some crazy low notes.
Listening to PTX I appreciate how clear they are on the words they sing. Ive learned many things about lyrics of familiar sounds that I could not tell the lyrics from the Original Performer.
I really liked getting to hear some of your music in the outro! I keep meaning to go listen, and now I have to quit being lazy...it sounded really good :-)
I suspect that one needs to be familiar with Catholicism to fully understand the name of the song. I've been to Episcopal and Lutheran services, and neither used "ordinary time" as a designation for the mass. I 'd be willing to bet that that is absent from all Protestant denominations, although I might be wrong.
Frequently listen to Reaction videos as I settle for sleep. Always enjoy all of your comments, while I often skip others. I’ve learned a lot from you. Have you reacted to the Pentatonix version of “O Come All Ye Faithful “? Totally unexpected but quite wonderful. Again, thank you.
Everyone seems to mess up the name. Birth name is Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty). But so many get it wrong she may have even had it legally changed to Kirstin which is what she seems to be commonly called. So you are in luck . . . She probably will answer to all.
Great reaction! This one is very grand haha. I hated the Elton version of the song when I was a kid because the lyrics were different from what was in the movie and kid me was mad about it lol
Always love your PTX reactions! Thanks. Question; what happened with the reaction of Kevin Olusola? I saw that one earlier today, but it seems to be gone...
I think the lyrics from the cartoon song and the pop release from Elton John were slightly different. It's been a long time since I've heard the cartoon version of the song, but I know I preferred that version of them But PTX is awesome as always. Thanks for continuing to do them!
Pls. react to Geoff Castellucci cover of Sixteen tons.. It's a full bass cover, he's layered himself and it shows his range also! he's the bass singer of Voiceplay. It's amazing 😍 and low af!
🧡 Pentatonix. Bravo for this great rendition. "Vagabond" - very Elton John. As far as I'm concerned they can spend a lifetime putting their own spin on the classics and it could outshine the original.
I am a subscriber and really enjoy listening to your breakdown of songs and appreciate that you review so many of the Pentatonix videos. I have to say though that I cringe a little every time you stumble over Kirstin's name and I get distracted from the critique you are offering. You have however deepened my understanding of all the songs you review. Thanks.
please react to KATRINA VERLADE 1. Go To The Distance 2. Whitney Houston Medley 3. Burn (impersonation ver) 4. Never enough (impersonation ver) Thank u
When he said: ''Nice key change at the beginning'', i said ''oh boy, just wait to climax of the song''.
😂
🤣🤣 Don’t we always say that?
Reactor: “oh that’s amazing”
Pentaholics: “haha! Just you wait…you ain’t heard nothing yet.”
Scott asked if they could throw in the last key change, and Mitch was like, sure, why not, I can hit the stars with my voice! I just love his voice so much. This was so fantastic! Great reaction, I like how you can really appreciate all that goes behind the music.
when you paused right before Mitch’s high note it was probably the worst I’ve ever been metaphorically blue balled lmao
😵

Yup! This is the one where the behind the scenes video shows them arranging this on tour in one of their dressing rooms 👍
Did you notice Scott singing the bass part when Matt sang in the beginning?
oh wow!

I would love to see a comparison between "Gold" by Kiara, and "Gold" by Pentatonix.
I love seeing what they can do with other's music.
Mitch is amazing in this one. I love that it all appears effortless to him.
I can say that I have never seen the Lion King movies or stage show but I love this version of the song
All wonderful, as always, and Mitch is phenomenal
Truth
In their Starships cover She raps "my name is Kirstin, you can call me Kirstie"
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kirstin and Kirstie lol, not to be that guy, but that's how she spells it
@@matthewaaronallen1598 thanks

If you watch their video of Starships, Kirstin tells us what to call her.

Totally agree 💕

The lyrics by Sir Tim Rice, the song composed and originally performed by Sir Elton John.

Fab review. Love PTX. You do a great job of explaining some of the techniques.
Mitch’s high notes always blow me away x
With a 6 octave range, Mitch can hit everything 😇
Listening to PTX I appreciate how clear they are on the words they sing. Ive learned many things about lyrics of familiar sounds that I could not tell the lyrics from the Original Performer.

What a team! I love how their talent is displayed individually AND collectively to the benefit of the song and us, lucky listeners. 🥰🤗
Totally!!
I love them, and i love this song. 😊 ✌️👋❤️ I enjoyed the video, thanks

good to hear some one who knows what music is about! Jacob you do a great job!
Thanks!
They do such a wonderful job with this song that they definitely own it.
for sure
Your song at the end sounds really good!
thanks!!
"Celine Dion, My Heart Can't Go On"
*I'm sorry Celine, but your heart can't go any further.*
I love your stuff man
Thanks!
Mitch is damn beautiful n she knows it! Keep slaying Queen!
Thanks for your breakdown. Love your song too
Thanks!
I love musical theory you add to your reactions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!!
Please watch “ beginners guide to Pentatonix “

No, not this one. I enjoyed watching this one already. I thought it was signs of the times.
@@nmv-9526 I’m guessing he pulled it since the audio & video weren’t in sync. Hoping he posts it again! It’s my fav of KO!
oh yeah, there was an issue with the audio, I have to fix and repost
@@JacobRestituto that woud be great!
Kirsten is her name, but I think Kirstie is kinda a nickname of sorts we generally refer to her by name
It is very worth the money to see Lion King on the stage. I saw the traveling show verson as I live in New England. It was incredibly awesome.
nice!!
I think the lyrics from the cartoon song and the pop release from Elton John were slightly different. It's been a long time since I've heard the cartoon version of the song, but I know I preferred that version of them But PTX is awesome as always. Thanks for continuing to do them!
I heard some of "Miracles from the Ordinary" as I was typing my comment. Lovely. I'll have to check out the full song. Really enjoy your work.
Actually… Celine’s heart CAN (and will) go on. 😂
Lol
Mitch... Bro... Friendo... Homie... Dude... Chum... You can't keep doing this to us. 😂😂
lol
I like your music after the video. Is that you? Very smooth.
Check out the behind the scenes on this one.

Watch the guy in the leoard I forgot his name he's awesome he does the drums and all instruments with his mouth and hands he's great
Im really intersted in how they mixed 5:50 it literally sounds like heaven is opening-
Vagabond is a common word in my country we used it all the time..

Matt can sing in a “normal” range because he is not a Basso profundo like avi
I read Mitch can sing 6 octaves up or down
You should check Avi Kaplan overtones and Mitch Grassi high and whist!e notes...amazing
