    Just a heads up...Mitch (the guy you said should be in High School Musical), never looks the same in any of their videos but it’s always him. Same with Kirstie, always different but always beautiful. Kevin (the beatboxer) always looks “fly”...Scott is definitely an angel (at least his voice sounds like it) and Avi (bass) is always amazing. You will not see him in all the videos since he left the group awhile back. The new member is Matt and he is phenomenal as well ☺️

    But yes. Unless you see actual instruments with your own eyeballs, it's voices only. (Aaaaand yes, that includes the bullhorn used in Bohemian Rhapsody. It's simply a prop. Mitch kills the guitar solo without it.)

    • @r0kus
      @r0kus 3 роки тому +3

      Money exceptionally well spent! I don't know if the $400 was total production cost, or just the recording and costume cost. Avi and Kevin (the bass and beatboxer) shared an apartment, and the recording of everyone's parts was done in of their closets. I think they all knew they were doing something special; you can tell from their expressions. The recordings were turned over to an editing house, and unless they were doing it for an exceptionally low price (or free), I can't imagine that it fit within the $400 number.

    Yeah, all mouth noises. I'm sure Kevin drove his mama nuts with making noises when he was a kid. There are vids of them doing this live, just standing in a room singing this song and they make the same sound. More muted without microphones, but still the same. Sometimes they snap fingers, stomp or slap chests, but that's not cheating I don't think. Dedicated ah-capella artists.

    Just for fun, lookup their 'live' version of this they do for a private audience somewhere. Even with inferior sound equipment in the video, you can tell they sound like this live. Totally crazy. But then again....WAY back in the day, there was no equipment to 'resample' stuff, so singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, The Platters, The Temptations....all sounded like that live. This is just a modern version of that same level of true talent and skill.....

      And yes, Avi's low range is just spectacular. This song doesn't come close to highlighting just how amazing his voice is. He isn't with Pentatonix any longer, since 2017, and their new bass is really good. But Avi is, for many of us, special. When they were on Sing Off in 2011, where they got their start, one of the judges commented that Avi was able to do things with his voice that other singers required studio equipment for. He joined with Home Free for Ring of Fire (that video is also worth a reaction!), and has also collaborated with Peter Hollens, and probably others I haven't found. As a solo artist he has produced some both amazing and sublime music, and a couple of really first-class videos as well.

    They are a special gift to us. They have another EDM piece - an original called Love Again that is amazing. And weird.
    You'll probably like their Bohemian Rhapsody, partially because it should be impossible, but also because it is just so good. Recommended by Brian May.
    They also have a habit of improving pop songs by tuning up the arrangement : Havana, Say Something, Shallow, Cheerleader.
    Their originals are quite excellent : Sing!, Run To You.
    And way too much Christmas music : Mary Did You know, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy, You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch are the big hits, but if you know it, they have probably sung it.
    They do some Disney and Disney-esque music, partially because Kirsten's mezzo-soprano voice is a perfect match for a lot of the Disney song leads, but also because Mitch, with a slightly different sound is also excellent in those parts : Let It Go, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, When You Wish Upon A Star, Over The Rainbow, Come Along.
    Some of their recent big hits are Amazing Grace, Be My Eyes, Happy Now and My Favorite Things.
    And yes, I think Kirsten's makeup in this Daft Punk medley hit most guys' fetish zone.

    I love to see the first few reactions of people that are new to PTX, you are now officially a Pentaholic 😂
    So Avi Kaplan who is blowing your mind with his low notes is an incredible base but if you want to hear him singing properly without the sound effects, he is singing a solo career now.
    Kevin Olusolu, the beat boxer is an incredible singer, check him out doing Sign of the Times, he plays multiple instruments and he isn’t human when it comes to the noises he makes, he’s my favourite.
    Mitch Grassi is the guy who is singing really high in this, as you get further into the rabbit ho,e you’ll soon realise that he has gone through a complete transformation with his appearance, he is incredible and can sing higher than Kirstin.
    Scott is a bit of a chameleon, his range spans 5 octaves and I have heard vocal coach reactors refer to him as a true baritone.
    If you want to be mesmerised even more watch “white winter hymnal”, “the sugarplum fairy”, and if you want to see Kevin being an absolute explosion watch them do Blinding Lights by the Weeknd, it’s a fairly recent one right at the start of lockdown.
    If you want to see some awesome video work, look at anything they’ve done in 2020, all done in lockdown, in their own houses, filmed by themselves then stitched together by the guy that put the daft punk video together. Particularly look for their Home Medley, there are about 25 songs with Home in the titles.
    And now they’re starting to do new stuff that they have written, look at Be My Eyes written by Kirsten, and Happy Now written by Scott but it’s about Mitches personal journey.

If you wanna react to their newer songs, you can react to Come Along, Can you Feel the Love Tonight, Waving through the Window, Shallow, Happy Now, Mad World, the whole of Home album and the whole of We Need a Little Christmas album and their newest song, The Lucky Ones. (basically MOST of them lmaooo)
    Please don't attack me cuz these songs are just my personal favourites and I will definitely recommend to react.
    A side note, their album is coming out really soon so you can purchase it. It's super fantastic and overall, their covers are really fking fantastic and in my darkest days, their music really cheers me up and I wanna thank them for that.
    With their talent, they really deserve so much, much more, but I don't think the majority of the world would appreciate acapella music so I'm really trying my best to support them and buying their albums. It's so cool to see more and more people reacting to Pentatonix this month it's actually shocking...

    One of the songs that nicely display the contrast between Mitch's high vocal tone and Avi's low vocal tone would be their original "Love Again"
    Couple more songs you should totally check out would be "Hallelujah", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Wizard of Ahhs" and prolly any of the Evolution of medleys

    Fast name list:
    Low voice: if it's a white dude it's Avi, if it's a black dude it's Matt. Avi does have that lower tone that sounds fake, he also blew some speakers on shows, pretty amazing. They also make some sound effects
    Beatboxing: Kevin. He also plays cello in some songs, but they always show when they have instruments, and it's not frequent. He is a beast.
    The girl is Kirstin. She will look different, but only Avi left. It's always her. Amazing singer.
    Tall blonde guy is Scott, he is a baritone (not too low or too high of a voice for a man).
    The guy you said could be on high school musical can sing male or female parts, actually he sings the highest parts in the group. Super talented. Rare voice. He will look completely different in every video.

    lol...yeah, welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Okay, so the dude with the braids is Avi Kaplan (normally just long dark hair and beard) - was the bass until mid-2017 (well, actually, September I think). He has gone solo now and has a different sound, and plays guitar and a few other instruments. You you may like his Change on the Rise. Personally, I love all his music. Matt replaced him and was in Sound of Silence, and is in their music since end of 2017. Kevin (or, KO) is the beatboxer, who also can sing and play cello. Mitch is the one with angelic voice. Scott has the blonde hair and has a great range. Kirsten (Kirstie, rhymes with thirsty), has the blue hair here. She likes to change her look a lot and Mitch does as well. Also, they won their first Grammy for this song/video (first of three grammies). I'm sure others will tell you how they made this. :)

    Way......lol Learn to appreciate the talent and the people behind that talent. ;) Avi Kaplan' s(pronounced Ahhhhh Vee) bass and Kevin Olusola's beat boxing (he also plays the cello) will do you in every time. When this band first came together on a singing competition called the sing off (they won btw) one of the judges named Avi and Kevin the "meat and potatoes" of the group. They were best buddies and roommates. This video was made in the closet and kitchen of Avi and Kevin's apartment for about $400. It was also their first Grammy win. They have 3 Grammy wins and all 3 were when Avi was with the band. He was with them for more than 6 years and left on good terms. He helped them find his replacement Matt Sallee and he has gone on to have a solo career. The male blond (Scott Hoying aka the angel), Mitch Grassi (high school musical guy)and Kirsten Maldonado (the avatar) grew up together in Texas. Please watch the older videos, both covers and originals, first so you can see their humble beginnings and really appreciate how they got where they are. They are a family and though each is so different, when they come together its pure magic. thanks for the reaction. priceless. The Pentaholics(PTX fans) are the best.

    @femmy-syahrani 3 роки тому +2

    My list of top ten Pentatonix songs every reactor should do (some you've already done):
    1. "Hallelujah" (with Avi as bass)
    2. "The Sound of Silence" or "Amazing Grace" (with Matt as bass)
    3. "Daft Punk"
    4. "Bohemian Rhapsody" - masterful rendition of a classic song, crazy how this instrument-heavy rock song can be sung by only five voices
    5. "Imagine" - beautiful arrangement with a strong message for these times
    6. "Evolution of Michael Jackson" (or any of their other *Evolution* videos. Pick your favorite artist) - these are medleys on steroid, *recorded live in the studio* in one continuous take, incredible transitions for 20+ songs in 6-7 minutes
    7. "Can't Sleep Love" (Popspring concert version) - a taste of their *original music*
    8. "Aha" (Star Vista Singapore version) - an iconic concert performance. The combination of Mitch's highs and Avi's lows is out of this world.
    9. "Say Something" - a powerfully emotional rendition that showcases *Kirstin* as the lead. She usually sings harmonies or shares the lead with Scott and/or Mitch
    10. "New Rules x Are You That Somebody" - they are excellent at *mash-ups* and this is their best yet, with great beatboxing and bass line, a good introduction for Matt
    If you want to go back to where they started as a band, you should react to/check out their Sing-Off performances (12 judged performances). They were formed on the day before the audition of this a capella reality show, but even from their first performance, they were already pushing the boundaries of a capella. And then you'll see how they grew as a group, taking in and implementing the judges' comments, culminating in an explosive performance.
    If you want their latest stuff to see where they are now, they released a new Christmas album last December called "We Need a Little Christmas". Check out their crazy arrangement of "12 Days of Christmas." They have sold multiple-platinum-selling Christmas albums, and for good reason. Their arrangements of Christmas songs are either angelic ("Mary Did You Know") or inventive ("God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen").
