    Kevin, the beatboxer, is an extreme overachiever. Was pre-med at Yale. Speaks multiple languages (including Mandarin) , plays piano and saxophone. Has played cello at Carnegie Hall. Has perfected the art of cello boxing (beatboxing and playing cello simultaneously). Didn't know that he could sing until after joining PTX, but has an amazing voice. His talent is off the charts

      @@Seriphina I’ve always wondered how that rumor got started within the comments to reaction videos. I’ve also read articles that say a music and vocal producer emailed him saying there was an a capella group looking for a member to join them on their tour. I believe at some point Matt has confirmed it was Ben Bram. Matt also said he had no idea the group was Pentatonix that he was submitting an audition for until he got a callback to audition in person.

    Just one group change. Avi (the bearded fellow in Hallelujah) left for family/personal reasons. He was replaced by Matt (the fellow in the white jacket). Matt and Scott (the first fellow that sang) switch off between baritone and bass whenever necessary. Both have awesome ranges. Mitch (the tenor) has been known to do the occasional A2 but his A5 will drop your jaw. Kirstin (the lovely lady) has been on Broadway and has a beatiful alto, as well as a wonderful high range. Kevin (the beatboxer) is also a high tenor on the rare occasions when he sings. Their covers of Bohemian Rhapsody, John Lennon's "Image", and Amazing Grace will blow you away.

    Matt is the NEW bass. You saw Avi in "Hallelujah". Avi left the group (on good terms) in 2017, I believe. Matt, the black guy in the white jacket took over the bass. However, he has an absolutely beautiful baritone, also. Kevin (the beatboxer) is a genius. He also plays the cello...and has a beautiful tenor voice. I've been a Pentaholic since early 2012. Heard their "Somebody That I Used To Know"...and was hooked for life!

      During lockdown he has indeed been writing a musical as well as doing the 3 albums/EPs with PTX ("At Home"(EP), "We Need a Little Christmas" and the just released original album "The Lucky Ones".

    Everyone suggests their really popular songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk (first Grammy - 2015), Imagine, Mad World, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (second Grammy - 2016 - both Grammys for Best Arrangement - Instrumental or a Capella), The Wizard of Ahhs Ft. Pentatonix - Written, Produced and Directed by Todrick Hall, Amazing Grace (where everybody has a solo), and you can't go wrong with any of these. I especially like a couple of their lesser known songs, Sing (an original) and Come Along (a Cover from Cosmo Sheldrake). I think under-rated but more up-tempo and fun songs. As stated by others they have a huge catalog and you really can't go wrong with any of them. Keep up the great PTX reaction. Looking forward to more.

It's not Christmas, but their rendition of "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" HAS to be experienced. If you can sit still through it, then you're paralyzed. I liked Avi and was in awe of his voice, but Matt brings a "lightness," an energy and a sense of humor. His voice is smooth as silk and warm as honey. Avi was great.

    Only one member stepped down, actually. Avi (dude with the beard wearing the beanie from Hallelujah) stepped down in 2017 due to a combination of the touring schedule taking its toll on his mental health and his mother being seriously ill. It was all totally amicable, and Avi even helped the group find the new bass to replace him. Dude's name is Matt. The other four (from left to right: Kirstie, Scott, Mitch and Kevin) are still the originals. The middle three (Kirstie, Scott and Mitch) are actually old friends who have been singing together since they were kids. And interestingly enough, they do all do separate projects. Scott and Mitch have their duo Superfruit, and Kirstie and Kevin (aka "K.O.") have their own solo stuff. Avi went solo after leaving the group, and has some gorgeous music on his own. Check out "Change on the Rise", it's some powerful stuff.

    All members of this group do have their own solo & joint projects. Kirstie was in a Broadway production of Kinky Boots & recently released a solo album. Scott & Mitch have a joint group called Superfruit & have recorded albums & videos together. Scott also started a kids a capella group called AcaPop. You'd enjoy some of their videos on UA-cam - they're amazing! And Kevin has also worked with the AcaPop beatboxers with Scott & has his own UA-cam channel of solo projects. Avi (original bass) also works with kids and school a capella groups & has a huge solo career. Most of them have done collaborations with other artists. Check out the cover of Katy Perry's "Rise!" by Scott & Mitch & 3 other amazing artists. It's awesome. Their 3rd Grammy Award was a project with Dolly Parton singing "Jolene".
    So they all do amazing side projects. I think it's why they're able to stay together so long - they allow for each other's creativity & other interests! Pentatonix is always primary, though. It's the strong supporting base of everything else they do. 🤗

    Avi left the group in 2017 due to their heavy schedule and his own person family issues. His sister was also their Road Manager and they were flying home after almost every concert. The original three found Avi from a friend of a friend and support each other. Avi did recruit the new bass Matt before he stepped away. He knew Matt would fit in with the group both vocally and chemistry. White jacket is Matt the low base. The Pentatonic scale is five meaning each member can sing multiple levels and scales. Scott changed the C to X for effect.

    If you want to see the Beatboxer (Kevin) sing, "Mary Did You Know" is a good one. If you want to see the first video that got them a Grammy check out "Daft Punk Medley". 100% worth it. I believe the whole video cost around $400 to make if I remember correctly

    Again you were correct: On the left this time we have Matt, the bass who joined after Avi left the band to spend more time with family.
    And your eyebrow reaction was priceless when you discovered that the "baritone" who was singing suddenly hit bass, and then hit what surely seems like controbasso.
    Thanks again for the reaction -- always a joy watching people get hit with PTX.

    Sound of Silence was written in November of 1963. It was after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. So the song was written about the angst and future of the country and the world. It was on their first album released in 1964. There is a clip on you tube where they first did it on live television in about February 1964, on "Top of the Pops" in England

    A great one to watch too, is The Wizard of Ahhhs! It is so fun. It is written and produced by Toddrick Hall, an old H.S. classmate of Mitch, Kristie & Scott. He arranged the 'mashup' songs for the story line. Kirstie plays Dorothy, wicked witch and Glenda the good witch. Another one that is interesting and you will appreciate the beatboxing tremendously, New Rules/Are You That Somebody! Thanks for reacting!

    I agree. I actually said that just the other day. Each one of them could so easily be singing stars on their own, but they are such a great team and have their egos in the right place and work so well together, that we Pentaholix people, reap the enormous benefits. They are all I listen to these days. They bring me such joy and musical fulfillment. I don’t know what I’d do without them!

    Nice reaction! If you want to kinda blow your mind & see the range of what Pentatonix can do then listen to these 3 songs by them in a row...
    1) Bohemian Rapsody
    2) Amazing Grace
    3) Can't Hold Us
    There's so many great ones by them but these 3 show how ridiculously amazing they are!

  • @irishangel5689
    @irishangel5689 3 роки тому +1

    The beatboxer is Kevin and he is truly amazing. If you want to see him go off the rails, check out Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk, and one of their originals Love Again. And yes, any one of them could go off on their own and be spectacular. They each takes turns leading in different songs. The only different member is Matt, the new Bass, the guy in the white jacket. He replaced Avi.

  • @traceyanderson7489

    Mitch does a great solo in Gold. Mitch also killed it in Bohemian Rhapsody. Matt in Mr. Grinch. There rap in Can't Hold Us shows a different side and there versatile talent.

I love listening to him and Kirsty play off each other.. they all play musical instruments. Kevin( the beat boxer) is multi lingual, plays cello and sax ( has played both at Carnegie Hall. They all have solo albums you can check out on u tube watch Kevin doing 'down'

  • @donny1960

    Great reaction. The only line-up change has been the Bass position. Avi was the original Bass, but left in 2017. Matt, the guy on the left, took his place. Kevin, the Beat Boxer, on the right is an original member. The three singers in the middle, Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch grew up together in Texas. They are called the "trio". Thanks for your enjoyable reactions.

    I'm sure the commenters have told you already but Matt's dream was always to be in Pentatonix. They came to his school to perform and Mitch took his sunglasses and performed while wearing them.
    Talk about an unattainable dream. No one would have guessed Avi would leave. Scott has said that every single time Matt steps on the stage he is living proof that dreams really do come true. He is also literally a ball of joy and sunshine.

  • @alariepoet8015
    @alariepoet8015 3 роки тому +4

    Only one member has changed. Matt is the new base, replacing Avi. Again, when he went higher for his solo, Scott took over the base part. You're picking up the names more quickly than I did. Watching them compete on Sing Off helped with the names, since the show judges kept naming them. Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer, but he's multi-talented. Check out his UA-cam Channel to see some of his solo work.

It's also a piece which shows off how well Kirstie has mastered her vibrato

    When Kevin is not beatboxing, he sings. No breaks for him, lol. So that 5th note adds a lot to the chords they sing which could explain why you like the beginning and end. This is a great song and I love how these covers are reviving it. Not everyone knows Simon and Garfunkel. Definitely a must discover if you have time. Paul Simon wrote so much great music.
