I definitely agree and I think it's because their main platform is youtube and especially with superfruit as well you really get that connection with the Pentaholics and I think that's pretty incredible
Nicole Micallef I can't sing (although that doesn't stop me), was "let go" from choir in the 7th grade, am now fifty-six years old and listen to Pentatonix's music more than any other artist. They seem approachable, humble and their harmonies are spot on. Age has no boundaries.
Nicole Micallef NO YOU AREN'T! I'm literally yelling at my computer to let PTX know that not all fans are choir nerds and can sing! lol Don't get me wrong, I love music! And they really make me happy, just like they said! :) PTX
when Kirstie started tearing up in the interview I started crying cause not only are they so talented!! they also care so much about their fans and their so grateful for everything they have and I think that's really amazing😭❤️
When my wife passed away just before Christmas, I had two lifelines...my Pug Dabner and the "That's Christmas To Me" album. I must have listened to "Mary Did You Know" and "White Winter Hymnal" a thousand times. Thank you...
Nobody warned me about getting emotional while watching this. Damn it, Pentatonix, you guys make me feel things. (In all seriousness, this was wonderful. It's so refreshing to see five people so popular, yet so humble and down to earth.)
Luzk López But some how he's completely oblivious to it. He just sits there like "They don't even find me attractive, they're not excited to see me. They're just excited to see Pentatonix."
Avi: "I don't even look that good, everyone this is what I'm supposed to look like." Oh come on Avriel you look exactly like that if not better you look dashing all the time. You are freaking gorgeous.
I WANT TO HOLD KIRSTIE IN MY ARMS AND NEVER LET HER GO, MAN! The way she described their importance on our lives, the way she felt when thinking about it, the way they all feel about connecting on an emotional level with us, their fans, is the true meaning of love for what they do. I just can't get the image of Kirstie getting all emotional out of my head... I already see her as the most beautiful woman and to see her genuine emotions on that situation... Man, she's just perfect... I just love you all, Pentatonix! You are amazing!
They are all so humble and kind! I seriously want to meet them and just tell them how talented and amazing they are. Also, once a choir nerd, always a choir nerd. ❤️🎼🎶
Oh goodness. I've daydreamed enough about "what if I randomly met them?" that I've halfway planned out what I'd want to say to them. I know what I'd say to Scott, and to Avi, and I've got too much to say to Kevin so I need to abridge and let him get a word in edgewise! Then once I figure out what I'd say to Kirstin (whose blog I'm currently reading start to present) and Mitch, I should just send them all a letter.
Yeah, honestly I feel like the reason that I fell in love with Pentatonix is because they started out just like me. Their choral influence brought them to where they are and I have so much more appreciation and respect for them because I know they are genuinely talented and they don't need a bunch of flashy instruments to make a song better.
That picture at 4:39 with half Avi face and half dragon face is so cool. I love seeing their fan art, it's so well done. And the drawing at 3:48, man some people have incredible talent.
Avi, stop being so negative about your looks! You are the most beautiful man to exist, you magnificent, sexy, bass loving, BBQ loving, dragon loving, hip rotation specialist beast
This was beautiful and I love that fan art and letters are displayed everywhere. I know my friend and I can't wait to meet PTX in July. It's going to be amazing.
I'm like bawling my eyes out now after hearing what Kevin said about that girl and her choir camp. This video and like everything in it is so touching );
With all the cameras around on tour, they are either filming more of these blogs, or they are making a movie.... i would go see that movie literally 5 billion times.
My chamber choir watches your videos every time they are posted. We are singing Run to You for our spring concert. My friends and I sit in the car every morning picking out the different parts and singing along. I listen to your music whenever I need to pick myself up. Whenever I don't nail an audition or I'm not chosen for one thing or another I listen to these songs and remember that if you can make it so can I.
I really really really loved how personal this one was. It was great to see the emotional effects of what they do and I'm glad that what they do makes them as happy as it makes me.
I just love them so much. Nothing means more to me than a genuine artist who seriously actually loves their fans and I honestly believe Pentatonix does and it is incredible. I love them, I will always love them so so much.
This is so beautiful , the fact that they do care about us and what we have been through and our experience with their music makes them 100% better artists. They are special and it makes me happy to know that we are special for them❤
I'm more of an art nerd, but I FREAKING LOVE THEIR MUSIC. like, it's so inspirational. especially Kevin ' s beat and Avi's baseline, that's what I focus on while painting.
This Was Truely Beautiful & Amazing In EVERY Way Possible. They Are Such Amazing People & Are So Down To Earth. The Bond They Have With Pentaholics Is SO Amazing & Incredible. It's Like One Big Happy Family Cause Not Only Is It An Incredible Experience To Meet Them, I Feel Like It's Also An Amazing Experience To Meet Each Other. I Honestly Am Still In Shock & Helplessly In Love With Our Fan Base & Pentatonix Themselves 💕
When "choir nerds" is brought up, regarding the fans and ptx having that in common, I wondered if they know how far that truly reaches? I am 55 years old. Graduated High School in 1979, and I lived for choir! My 29 year old daughter, graduated in 2006, was a choir nerd. Now my youngest, will graduate in 2019, is an absolute choir need. We are all raging Pentaholics! I am a grandma and if I ever met them I'd freak out! If I specifically met Mitch I'd start crying. Here's why. I am so ill. It's chronic and I'm bedridden. I can't do my hobbies and be who I am. Just too ill. But when I hear Mitch sing it resonates in the very center of my soul, and it is as beautiful and moving as when I'd be out in nature drinking in the sights, smells, and feeling the wind on my face and moving through my hair, just like it moves through the branches of the towering Douglas Firs we gave in the Pacific Northwest. I always commuted with God and felt closest to him in the forest. I've lost that and Mitchs' voice reaches the part of me that only the forest could before. It is healing and beautiful. And I thank God for the blessing of Mitch Grassis' heaven sent voice. It touches my soul that has been trapped in a weak, sick body that has been confined to a bed in a dark room for years now....and it transports me beyond these walls to a place of beauty and healing. Oh! My mom, I a choir nerd, loves Pentatonix too. How amazing is that?!
I honestly can't prove on UA-cam that I drew Avi's portrait... only on Instagram and if you know me, my phone😅 but I'm really glad he still loves it, I gave it to him at the Anaheim Concert. Thank you to those who like it😊 I really appreciate it😊
I have to say, I was tearing up for this entire video, from the moment Kirstie got teary. Thank you guys for being humble and generous with your fans, especially the younger ones, who are so very affected by your talent and how you behave. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us. I love you all.
Every time I watch them talking about fans it makes me cry! I guess I am a music nerd, I wish I could show it... It doesn't fit in with, well, ME I guess. Most people don't know who I am, I don't know who I am anymore... I'm lost, Pentatonix is one of the only things that keep me going. Thank you so much!
Pentatonix will always be my favorite a Capella group. This video made me cry. :,). I LOVE THEIR MUSIC. It inspired me and my friends to try out one of their songs in a talent show. :).
I never should open this video it made me cry so hard 😪 girl, i'm so happy right now because of them, they helped me so many times that if i could get a cent for every time they made me feel good and ok with who am i i would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO rich. Every time i show PTX to my friends that dosen't know about them they fall in love and they say that they died and went to heaven while they listened to that song. There is so much more to tell but i don't have that time
Your harmony and voices are so perfect. Brings me back to when I made my first record at age 14. Was a family group with harmony. Warms a geezers heart.
Thank you so much. I just don't know what to say. You are the most amazing people that I've ever seen before. I love you. Stay as strong and amazing as you are right now.❤️
I have to say, you guys HAVE helped me, and so many of my friends have a reason to wake up in the morning and face the world, thank you. Every single one of you. Love you guys, seriously. Like, I'm crying right now. But, its happy tears, no worries! :,)
gosh this is such a special episode and makes me love you guys even more. keep being that appreciative of your fans and you'll have them for a long, long time
Cute end to the PTXperience. I (admittedly selfishly) hoped I would get a clip of them snacking on the sweets I brought them in NYC, but maybe they wanted to be grossed out on their own haha! Looking forward to the following legs of PTXperience in the next legs of tour!
You guys have made me the happiest person ever that i have ever been in my entire life. I hope that i get to meet you guys one day because you are an inspiration for my singing and i am glad i discovered you guys
They seem like the best ppl ever, and I think when they say that they love their fans it's true and the mean it. Cuz sometimes.artists say this kind of stuff but it's just show off. Ptx mean it. They really care about us and we care about them. Even though we don't know them personally it's a special bond.
PLEASE COME TO NEW ZEALAND!! I would absolutely love to meet all of you and I'm sure you would love the country :) xxx if you toured here it would be a dream come true!!
And, Avi, yes, you do look that good, don't be so hard on yourself. All five of you are beautiful human beings, and should know that. love you guys so muuuuuch!
Omg I'm so so so proud of you guys!! Yall have come such a long way and and I know you'll do so many great things in the future!! I love every single one of you! Have fun with the rest of your tour!
Am I the only one who thinks that Pentatonix is way more connected to their fanbase than other musical groups?
That's one of the many things I love about them
I definitely agree and I think it's because their main platform is youtube and especially with superfruit as well you really get that connection with the Pentaholics and I think that's pretty incredible
Pinky Pie12 Me too man. That's why I would love to meet them. (Sorry if I don't wright this comments correctly, I'm a 14 year old Spaniard)
Yes that's what makes me love them so much :)
I think they are, too
Avi's manbun is my weekly obsession though 🙆
Avi's manbun is my life obsession.
AVI is my life obsession lol
Avi is bae 😍😜
Natasha Lee Amen honey.
MHM damn right honey
Anyone else tear up when Kirstie did? I sure as hell did.
Am I the only one who is TERRIBLE at singing and not a choir nerd but LOVES pentatonix more than anything!??
Same! :)
I can't sing very well but I'd love to be able to haha! 😄😂
Nicole Micallef I can't sing (although that doesn't stop me), was "let go" from choir in the 7th grade, am now fifty-six years old and listen to Pentatonix's music more than any other artist. They seem approachable, humble and their harmonies are spot on. Age has no boundaries.
Nicole Micallef NO YOU AREN'T! I'm literally yelling at my computer to let PTX know that not all fans are choir nerds and can sing! lol
Don't get me wrong, I love music! And they really make me happy, just like they said! :)
PTX
I play a lot of instruments, and I can match pitch, but my singing is by no means good! I'm a music nerd 200%, but not in choir, and I love PTX. :)
not gonna lie....when Kirstie almost lost it....yeah. i uh....yeah. i gotta go.
same, I almost started crying with her. she's such a loving & kind person, I just adore her.
FayVlogs Don't cry
Craft
Tartilin Online hahahahaha I love that there are Dan and Phil fans everywhere :D
KIRSTIEEEEEEEE
when Kirstie started tearing up in the interview I started crying cause not only are they so talented!! they also care so much about their fans and their so grateful for everything they have and I think that's really amazing😭❤️
When Kirstie started kinda tearing up, I started to cry. Because what she said was so true, I love her so much
KIRSTIE!? Kirstie, why would you do this to me?! WHY?!
PTX
She's so sweet
When my wife passed away just before Christmas, I had two lifelines...my Pug Dabner and the "That's Christmas To Me" album. I must have listened to "Mary Did You Know" and "White Winter Hymnal" a thousand times. Thank you...
I'm sorry for your loss, and glad you found comfort in the music.
Aw, Kirstie teared up. That's so sweet.
Nobody warned me about getting emotional while watching this. Damn it, Pentatonix, you guys make me feel things.
(In all seriousness, this was wonderful. It's so refreshing to see five people so popular, yet so humble and down to earth.)
Avi: I wish I looked like this.
Me: YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT.
Exact same thing I yelled to A̶v̶i̶ the computer...
Luzk López I got incredibly frustrated in that one moment because he doesn't realize how attractive he is.
Yeah, that's true :l Even the rest of the guys realize how girls freak out about him e.e
Exactly.
Luzk López But some how he's completely oblivious to it. He just sits there like "They don't even find me attractive, they're not excited to see me. They're just excited to see Pentatonix."
i actually cried watching this.......
So did I, well I teared up, not cried...
Don't cry
Craft.
***** nononono go away nopenope

now thats cool right there
Which part? 😊
reneanduray Are you the girl who's wearing the Scomiche shirt ? The part where Kirstie almost went ? XD
*****
yES
Kirstie is making me cry
Can we all just agree that Kirstie's little half-smile is the cutest thing to exist in the history of history?
I know, right?
No I'm not crying...why?
That was sarcasm. This is so sweet and touching.
I'm a grown man, I shouldn't be crying like this! I blame Kirstie
someone, please tell me that I'm not the only one who's about to cry
no honey
You're not the only one I'M CRYING TOO :/))
When Kirstie was talking and crying I started to ball l
Avi: "I don't even look that good, everyone this is what I'm supposed to look like." Oh come on Avriel you look exactly like that if not better you look dashing all the time. You are freaking gorgeous.
Yes he is
This was by far my most favorite PTXperience for this tour bc I felt like we connected with them personally
Wow that drawing of Avi was amazing. Im so inspired to start drawing again.
I cried when Kirstie sounded like she was about to cry
This is why I love pentatonix. They genuinely love their fans and they enjoy making people happy through music. Love them so much!
3:53 "I don't even look that good,"
Me: o hmY GOD WHAT DID U JUST SAY PRINCE CHARMI NG WHA t
I WANT TO HOLD KIRSTIE IN MY ARMS AND NEVER LET HER GO, MAN!
The way she described their importance on our lives, the way she felt when thinking about it, the way they all feel about connecting on an emotional level with us, their fans, is the true meaning of love for what they do. I just can't get the image of Kirstie getting all emotional out of my head... I already see her as the most beautiful woman and to see her genuine emotions on that situation... Man, she's just perfect... I just love you all, Pentatonix! You are amazing!
2:27 IM NOT CRYING I SWEAR I JUST GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE
Yay!!! Choir nerds for liiiife!! We do a lot of your arrangements in our vocal jazz choir and they are always a big hit. We LOVE pentatonix!!
They are all so humble and kind! I seriously want to meet them and just tell them how talented and amazing they are. Also, once a choir nerd, always a choir nerd. ❤️🎼🎶
I really would like to meet them, but I would have no idea what to say and I would probably embarrass myself.
same especially to Avi.
Tristen_Singer DEFINETLY SPECIALY AVI
Oh goodness. I've daydreamed enough about "what if I randomly met them?" that I've halfway planned out what I'd want to say to them. I know what I'd say to Scott, and to Avi, and I've got too much to say to Kevin so I need to abridge and let him get a word in edgewise! Then once I figure out what I'd say to Kirstin (whose blog I'm currently reading start to present) and Mitch, I should just send them all a letter.
Kathy Washburn Bunn same. I even planned if I ever get VIP what my photo op picture would be.
Yeah, honestly I feel like the reason that I fell in love with Pentatonix is because they started out just like me. Their choral influence brought them to where they are and I have so much more appreciation and respect for them because I know they are genuinely talented and they don't need a bunch of flashy instruments to make a song better.
I loved how Kristie laughed at Mitch at the end, it's exactly how I laugh too
So incredibly happy for you all! I've watched you mature together as a group and it's great to see you all succeed.
That picture at 4:39 with half Avi face and half dragon face is so cool. I love seeing their fan art, it's so well done. And the drawing at 3:48, man some people have incredible talent.
Avi: I wish I looked like this
Me: YOU DO LOOK LIKE THAT!!! YOURE PERFECT AVI!!!
Did anyone else say that or just me? 😂😂
Trust me, it wasn't just you
Avi, stop being so negative about your looks! You are the most beautiful man to exist, you magnificent, sexy, bass loving, BBQ loving, dragon loving, hip rotation specialist beast
TheWolfyGrace Exactly, I couldn't of said it better myself
I did I was like "AVI YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!!!"
@@toontownrules413 I just call him handsome because it's the least invasive xD
OMG MEETING THEM IS MY DREAM! This video almost brought me to tears.
This was beautiful and I love that fan art and letters are displayed everywhere. I know my friend and I can't wait to meet PTX in July. It's going to be amazing.
I teared when Kirstie was getting choked up. I was like "No Kirstie if you start crying then I'll start."
kirstie almost losing it brought me to tears 💗
"Dragons, barbecues, and basses." So could you say that the fan covered all the... bases?
I'm like bawling my eyes out now after hearing what Kevin said about that girl and her choir camp. This video and like everything in it is so touching );
With all the cameras around on tour, they are either filming more of these blogs, or they are making a movie.... i would go see that movie literally 5 billion times.
When Kirstie almost cried I started crying
I can't explain how many time I've watched this, but I still find a way to cry each time!!!!
My chamber choir watches your videos every time they are posted. We are singing Run to You for our spring concert. My friends and I sit in the car every morning picking out the different parts and singing along. I listen to your music whenever I need to pick myself up.

I really really really loved how personal this one was. It was great to see the emotional effects of what they do and I'm glad that what they do makes them as happy as it makes me.
Y'all are my roll models. The way you worked your way to the top is incredible. God bless y'all .
I cannot begin to express how much I love them.
The impact that strangers can have on another bunch of strangers is incredible
I just love them so much. Nothing means more to me than a genuine artist who seriously actually loves their fans and I honestly believe Pentatonix does and it is incredible. I love them, I will always love them so so much.
Holy cow can't wait for their original album. PUMPED
This is so beautiful , the fact that they do care about us and what we have been through and our experience with their music makes them 100% better artists. They are special and it makes me happy to know that we are special for them❤
Where can we send the fan mail? I NEED TO MAIL AVI A LOVE LETTER
They all deserve it for what they have done, brought, and created. And most of all, how they do it. ;D PTX
Aww you're so cute lol! Ik I want to send then stuff Too so freaking bad !!'
Abbie Cloudnose The fan mail address is on their main website if you just join it. :) Its under 'contact us' I think.
😂😂😂😭❤️❤️❤️
I'm more of an art nerd, but I FREAKING LOVE THEIR MUSIC. like, it's so inspirational. especially Kevin ' s beat and Avi's baseline, that's what I focus on while painting.
No, I'm totally just cutting onions.
You guys appreciate your fanbase so much it's so cute.❤
this video made me soo happy
This Was Truely Beautiful & Amazing In EVERY Way Possible. They Are Such Amazing People & Are So Down To Earth. The Bond They Have With Pentaholics Is SO Amazing & Incredible.

Mitch is such a queen ugh😍💖
I honestly can't prove on UA-cam that I drew Avi's portrait... only on Instagram and if you know me, my phone😅 but I'm really glad he still loves it, I gave it to him at the Anaheim Concert. Thank you to those who like it😊 I really appreciate it😊
you are exceptionally talented, stellar rendition of our Avi

You are all so awesome. I listen to you all the time. Thank you for the beautiful music that you make for everyone. Love you
OMG KIRSTIE I LOVE YOU, YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING NO MATTER BLOND OR BRUNNETTE
This made me cry.
Every time I watch them talking about fans it makes me cry!
I guess I am a music nerd, I wish I could show it... It doesn't fit in with, well, ME I guess.
Most people don't know who I am, I don't know who I am anymore... I'm lost, Pentatonix is one of the only things that keep me going. Thank you so much!
Cried watching this. I love y'all so much
I need them in Finland.
I don't care if I'm the only Finnish fan. I need them here now.
I second that!
Pentatonix will always be my favorite a Capella group. This video made me cry. :,). I LOVE THEIR MUSIC. It inspired me and my friends to try out one of their songs in a talent show. :).
im crying they are so beautiful
UNDER 301. I FEEL SO SPECIAL 😂😂😂😂
you guys are sO NICE to your fans thanks for being so wonderful
I never should open this video it made me cry so hard 😪 girl, i'm so happy right now because of them, they helped me so many times that if i could get a cent for every time they made me feel good and ok with who am i i would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO rich. Every time i show PTX to my friends that dosen't know about them they fall in love and they say that they died and went to heaven while they listened to that song. There is so much more to tell but i don't have that time
Your harmony and voices are so perfect. Brings me back to when I made my first record at age 14. Was a family group with harmony. Warms a geezers heart.
Am I the on,y one who teared up?😭😭 ugh I cant explain how much they inspire me and how much I love them❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. I just don't know what to say. You are the most amazing people that I've ever seen before. I love you. Stay as strong and amazing as you are right now.❤️
I would give ANYTHING to see them live, and to meet and greet them... i just...
The dream catcher though!!! I can't 💚
3:53 Yes you do!!! Your parents named you Avriel because you are _literally_ an angel sent from heaven!!! That voice is PROOF
This made me so happy! Pentaholics are adorable! 😍
I have to say, you guys HAVE helped me, and so many of my friends have a reason to wake up in the morning and face the world, thank you. Every single one of you. Love you guys, seriously. Like, I'm crying right now. But, its happy tears, no worries! :,)
gosh this is such a special episode and makes me love you guys even more. keep being that appreciative of your fans and you'll have them for a long, long time
I love Kirstie's hair!!!
Cute end to the PTXperience. I (admittedly selfishly) hoped I would get a clip of them snacking on the sweets I brought them in NYC, but maybe they wanted to be grossed out on their own haha!
Looking forward to the following legs of PTXperience in the next legs of tour!
When Kirstie teared up talking about their fans, I started crying myself.
You guys are such fun loving people.Please don't stop being awesome.
I cry at each and every one of these episodes
You guys are so kind and humble
You guys have made me the happiest person ever that i have ever been in my entire life. I hope that i get to meet you guys one day because you are an inspiration for my singing and i am glad i discovered you guys

They really care about us and we care about them. Even though we don't know them personally it's a special bond.
this is beautiful, we can feel that the connection between them and the fans is real
I cried watching this
