    Mitch's voice was absolutely perfect for the lead on that! Kirstie and Scott killed it on the background parts, and of course, "Meat & Potatoes" can't be beat as a rhythm section. That they not only did what required looping, sampling, and studio effects in the original live and acapella, but made it sound better in the process is quintessential Pentatonix.

    PTX's version is SO much better to me! I agree she has a really good voice, but I didn't like the effects used in her version. It kept sounding like a cd skipping to my ears and that's all I could think about every time they occurred.

    Jerod, I completely agree. PTX is soooo much better. Saying this may upset some people but to me, the original (I have listened to it before) is what is wrong with so much music today. Overproduced, electronically enhanced, auto tuned, etc. Definitely NOT my kind of music. But, PTX, just 5 people with 5 microphones blowing it completely out of the water. That is talent and skill to the max and why I love good a capella in general and PTX in particular.!

    The timing in the second part when Kirsten comes in with "fallin'" on the heels of Mitch's "roof is" and followed by Scott's "let me" just blew me away. I mean, how smart is that!! Kevin's crisp high hat symbol "t-t" "ah" and Avi's bass line (especially in their solo mid song) are more than I could have asked for. Love the side by side comparison. Not knockin' Kiara's version but stripped down the way PTX did it is the only way I will listen to this one! Thanks Jerod!

    Im finally figuring out why PTX arrangements so compelling. They mostly start out simple, then throw out surprise after surprise. There always interesting and as the point Jerod makes, always superior musician ship and production. Too much echo and reverb in Kiiaras vrs. Yes Angels we have heard on high...Their first video on the official site. Still my favorite.

    The first time I heard the Kiiara version I thought it sounded *a lot* like a PTX arrangement, just with instruments. I wouldn't be surprised to find out she and/or her producer were fans. And so of course it's a foregone conclusion that PTX can do an even better version.

    Thank you for this! I totally agree with your thoughts on it. I think it was a great 'idea' (thank the original for that) but I love that PENTATONIX got a much better effect of what they did, without all of the overproduction of it! PTX won me on this one. By far.

    I have never listened to Kiara before, and I doubt I will again. Nothing against her art, it's just not my choice. But I enjoy this piece by Pentatonix for it's complexity and flawless synchronization. Just 5 guys on a couch (ok, yes one is a woman) and they do better than dozens of people with rooms full of electronics.

  • @janeramirez8767

    Kiiara's original is amazing. I remember being mesmerized by the song and the video. But that was 3 years ago. Watching it again now, it seemed to go on FOR. EV. ER. What I found mesmerizing back then seems monotonous now. Then PTX comes on and I'm hypnotized again! I wanted it to go on and on. I haven't checked--is the Pentatonix version shorter than Kiiara's? It seems like it! But I know why. PTX added so much subtle variety to it. Every time chorus came around, it was a little different. Small changes to the melody, the background singing, the harmony, the beat, the bass, kept it fresh even after all these years.
    Jerod, I really miss your comparison videos! Somehow I never watched this one back when you posted it. You did exactly the right thing in withholding your commentary until after showing us both videos! The difference in quality is striking.

Their tones are so pure and they blend so well together. Another great one Jerod. I see from the comments below that the On My Way Home one is blocked -- which would explain why I couldn't get it to load -- bummer.

      Jerod M Musical episodes of Superfruit that you should check out include their cover of Happy Little Pill which I think you’d enjoy, also La La Land Medley which features Kirstie, and their cover of Feeling Myself. Non-musical episodes that are really great include Edward 40 hands/are you smarter than a fifth grader (they get kind of drunk and it’s hilarious), as well as their Freestyle Rap Challenge or any of their q and a videos. All of the videos that I mentioned that are musical are completely live too, with Superfruit the only videos that aren’t live are the songs from their ep Future Friends.

    This was great! Thank you for doing it. I’m reminded of what one of the judges-Shawn maybe?- said on one of the songs during the sing-off, that Avi did something in the song that had to have special effects added to accomplish. PTX really does this so incredibly well. Christmas song comparisons or even just commentary; definitely Angels..., maybe their version of Joy to the World, or Silent Night. They have done terrific versions of so many of them that you can’t go wrong with any of them.

    I'm actually a little sad when people do what she did. She has an objectively pretty voice and at least some talent with it, but she chooses to hide it behind effects that just don't complement her sound.

    GAHH! No it's NOT better, imho! I love the original, the first time I heard it, I thought it sounded really cool. These Pentatonix people are really talented, but they turned it into an R&B song, and I can't stand R&B. It's nice but... just no. Sappy af. Good reaction though.
