I guess the reason the thumbs down vastly outnumber the thumbs up is that when you do a video about Pentatonix and acappella you should learn how to pronounce both.
@@scottdupree3177 Yes, and they pronounce the same word differently every time it's used. I listen to some of these books on Kindle and they even called ladies "Mississippi" instead of "Miss". Annoying as heck.
PTX is an amazingly talented group. Their fans love them to bits but they have jealous haters too. Haters should watch their live private performances for Make A Wish Foundation and reporters without a mike . That should settle the autotune accusations. Check out Daft Punk and their original Love Again private performances
As a music major i find your pronunciation of a capella…..with an hard A sound disturbing. It is NOT said that way….it is a capella with a short a sound. The terms in music mostly Latin and Italian are not literal. Please adjust your usage…..make you just look ignorant!
I'm soo glad someone else noticed it. I have been singing my entire life, show choir in high school - did lots of acapella music and competitions...the constant wrong saying of acapella and the way he says Pentatonix.....very annoying...
I gave this a thumbs down because of the mis pronunciations and the way the information seemed to be just thrown together in a rather disorganized and unprofessional way. Don't they have anyone to edit this stuff? I watched a movie review that could have been by the same creator name that was inaccurate, full of mis pronunciations and was thrown together in the same sloppy way. If you're not going to do a good, thorough job why bother?
Pleeeeeease, do the proper research before airing any video!!!! It breaks my eardrum every mispronunciation I hear!!! IT REALLY DANG HURTS!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Pentatonix for ever! But o my! DoI would have thought you will do a bit more digging. We Pentaholics know a lot - AND I MEAN A LOT - of information about our beloved PTX. And that horrendous photo of the beautiful Kirsten!! But hey if this introduce our PTX to more people to enjoy and follow then, thank you. They are outstanding!! Love Avi and love Matt. Greetings from South Africa
I have experience in the a cappella world, and I like Pentatonix. However, as Fil, at Wings of Pegasus, has made clear, Pentatonix, like almost all label groups today, make use of electronic alteration. It is virtually de rigueur in the regimented music industry, and younger artists are neither willing nor able to buck the trend. I prefer Chanticleer or Voces8. The days of vocal groups like The Beach Boys, and vocalists like Karen Carpenter and Ann Wilson, all natural and unaltered, are over.
What I will say and continue to say is being dropped by their first record lable was a blessing, they could have been one of these bands that sat back and let other people make the decisions for them and I guess the when the record lable had got tired of them, they would have moved on to someone/something new. Havig to fight for what they wanted, having to get up at silly o'clock in the morning just to do a three minute song on breakfast tv (finding their own way there and back). Doing interview that sometime they were really to tired to do....ect. In todays moden world to win a singing, dancing or music show means you are famous for a while till the next big thing that comes along then forgotten or pushed to one side, having done it the hard way through hard work and detirmination meant that they set the bar high and have stayed there for all these years.. I won't say that one day the next best thing will sweep them to the sidelines or they go their seperate ways most are married and have children ( maybe the next best thing will be the children of Pentatonix and we will get C-Pex (children Pentatonix) but untill that time I am happy to watch and listen and to follow along with these six talented people who have brough joy and laugher to my life and everyone else that love them. Last thing who on earth does not know how to say Pentatonix, Acapella and the name Olusola and that picture of Kirstin did that have to be there.
How is it that you get paid to be the voiceover but, you then destroy the video by slaughtering and mispronouncing that most 8 year olds can say? Do you not have anyone that can critique your kindergarten level understanding of the English language? It is aggravating to listen to.
Dr. Discovery has managed to make a history of the Pentatonix the is so mediocre that the good Dr. eveen mispronounces their name. Hopefully the good Dr. will improve in a short time.
As a musician and artist, I salute you big time for making a distinction between what is good (objectively) and what you personally like (subjectively). So very few people do.
I liked them. A lot. But when they included Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah in a CHRISTmas album I had to turn them off. That song is no CHRISTmas song and even borders on heretical. I just couldn’t believe they were so out of touch and disconnected with what they were singing.
It isnt Xmas music,but it is not heretical. Part of it is about David and Bathsheba in the bible, and part is about Leonard Cohen's broken heart in London.
Can you justify that statement? By what metric do you use to determine who is better? I can see how you might prefer both of those excellent groups, but to claim they are better is a stretch.
The three groups are all very good in their own way, as is Voctave, too. However, Pentatonix led the way to the acappella popularity. PTX won the Sing-Off in season 3 in 2011. They then soared in popularity, winning a Grammy award in 2015, 2016, and 2017. No other acappella group has won any Grammy awards. PTX also made recording companies sit up, take notice, and realize that good acappella groups could sell records and make money. Their album, "That's Christmas To Me," was the forth best selling album in the U.S. in 2014. Home Free had been singing and touring since 2000, but was not nationally and internationally popular until they won season 4 of the Sing-Off in 2013. Voiceplay also competed in the competition that year but did not win. Once Pentatonix made acappella music cool, all the other acappella groups began to become popular and attract large fan groups.
Pentatonix has a walk on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (first acapella group to earn this honor)…THE FIRST acapella group to win THREE Grammys-and they spend 8-10 hours a day practicing. They are the #1 selling acapella group in the world . Period.
@@designobservatory Sorry sir but your assumption is not true. They may be unknown to you and not widely known in those areas but thier influence is known and has reached throughout the world. Also the examples given above are obviously hispanic in origin and, if I had to judge, are extremely limited in influence and scope. Other internationally acclaimed accapella groups like Take 6, The Kings singers and Manhattan Transfer not only have greater distribution but greater recognition. One more thing..... Pentatonix is not only known, but has charted in Austria (Europe), Japan (Asia), Korea (Asia), Canada, New Zealand, Australia and of course the USA. Just because YOU never heard of them doesn't mean entire nations haven't. Please check your facts before making false statement. That by the way IS quite representative of Europe, Asia and THE WORLD.
PTX has 20 million subs, 10 million in album sales, 3 Grammys, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and 6.3 BILLION vies on UA-cam. Voiceplay has 1.5 million subs, and 372 million views on UA-cam..........just saying
Repeat after me. Ahh. Ahhhh. Pentatahhnix. Ahhcapella.
I was wondering if there was a B capella, C capella.................
You could at least pronounce their name correctly! And pronounce the type of music correctly, too! This was a big distraction for me.
YES!!!!!
Me too. It’s why I left the video early.
Whole heartedly agree 👍
I agree. Lousy announcer.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😜🤣😂
Pen-tuh-tahn-ix and AH-Cuh-Pell-Uh
YES!!!!!!
I guess the reason the thumbs down vastly outnumber the thumbs up is that when you do a video about Pentatonix and acappella you should learn how to pronounce both.
Exactly!
You got that right!!! 😥😣😁😁😁😁LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL..........
Welcome to computerized narration. Very distracting.
@@scottdupree3177 Yes, and they pronounce the same word differently every time it's used. I listen to some of these books on Kindle and they even called ladies "Mississippi" instead of "Miss". Annoying as heck.
I'm a Home Free fan as they do more of my type of songs, they won the Sing Off as well.
Not only saying the names wrong , but where in the heck did they get Kirsten's picture on the videos advertisement???
I'm a Pentaholic too! Hallelujah!!
I feel Hallelujah and Mary Do You Know........they will never top those songs.

An Extremely great group. Love them. ❤️ You are are great group❤❤❤❤❤
I loved the Sing off show..wish they still did it
I couldn't listen beyond the first couple of minutes. Too much irritating mispronunciation. Awful.
Where the He!! Did they get this announcer?? His poor pronunciation is f’n crazy! How does this get posted without catching this?
Avi hasn't been with the group for several years.
If you are going to do voice-overs, make sure pronunciations are correct "Ah-kah-pella " like fella
And it’s never capella!
And Pent-uh-tah-nix
Thank you! Not Uh-capella, or Ay capella.
Yes! Thank you!
It was driving me crazy!
To me, their music is beautiful. Overlook all the other junk. Just enjoy their music!

Please, please, pronunciations-Pen-taht- on-ix, ah-ca-pel-la. This might be a generated voice but it could be checked for correctness!

Artificial intelligence is Aintellegent
The word is acapella, "aw-cup-ella". Not Ay-cuh-pella.
Can the announcer speak English.
Pentatonix for ever! But o my! DoI would have thought you will do a bit more digging. We Pentaholics know a lot - AND I MEAN A LOT - of information about our beloved PTX. And that horrendous photo of the beautiful Kirsten!!

I feel that the mispronunciations. they sound like a robot. ,Those never get pronunciations right.
Avi left the group 5-6 years ago
"Google, how to pronounce ..." is so easy. this is embarrassing.
The voice over? Ghastly and distracting.
Agreed. I love Pentatonix but this was tough to watch because of the narration.
I still miss Avi 😢 i dont like courry but his voice one of a kind
I support the group but will not support this channel
Take 6 is the best...but i'm very proud of these younger singers.
How is it that you get paid to be the voiceover but, you then destroy the video by slaughtering and mispronouncing that most 8 year olds can say? Do you not have anyone that can critique your kindergarten level understanding of the English language? It is aggravating to listen to.
I absolutely love that room❤❤❤❤❤
for cereal biscuit...you could at least try to pronounce things correctly...holy crap...
First and last time on this channel
Dr. Discovery has managed to make a history of the Pentatonix the is so mediocre that the good Dr. eveen mispronounces their name. Hopefully the good Dr. will improve in a short time.
what happened to her face????
Really poor editing
What a bunch of crap this channel is. BLOCKING
A-capella? Seriously?
I like a lot of what Pentatonix does, but hated their version of the National Anthem at one of the football games on Christmas Day this year...
Don't know what it is but I can't stand acapella music. They are exceptional at what they do, it's just not my cup of tea.
As a musician and artist, I salute you big time for making a distinction between what is good (objectively) and what you personally like (subjectively). So very few people do.
🙄si las quejas dieran oro😂
blah blah blah.

It isnt Xmas music,but it is not heretical. Part of it is about David and Bathsheba in the bible, and part is about Leonard Cohen's broken heart in London.
@ the fact that he uses Bible verse to justify disordered desires and illicit relationships makes it heretical. It has no place in a CHRISTmas album.
Are you being sarcastic lol what a baby lol I thought this channel was satire 😂
Christmas is a pagan holiday anyway. He was not born on Dec. 25th, so you could say it's heretical to celebrate His birthday on a pagan holiday.
Home Free & Voice Play are better. Voice Play are the Original Theater Kids of a capella who led the way for others to follow in their footsteps.

Many people never heard of this group. The real masters of acapella are groundbreaking groups like Trio Esperança or Sexto Sentido

The groups you mention are very good, but currently Pentatonix is #1 in the world right now. Period.
@@drieuxkoeppel8152 Maybe in the US. But the US is not the world. They are unknown in Europe, Latinamerica and Asia.

@@designobservatorynot true.
They are nothing compared to Voiceplay! Sorry, just saying. Check out Voiceplay and Geoff Castelluci!!!
Lol your funny. Voiceplay is average at best. They are on the absolute bottom of the Acapella tier list.

And I prefer Homefree ! Lol
Have to disagree strongly. There ist PTX, then there`s a huge gap und then comes all the rest. Not bad either, but nothing in compair.
