If you REALLY want to start at the beginning and work your way up, go back just a bit before their first video. The Sing Off TV competition is where PTX was birthed. Short version - Scott, Kirstie & Mitch (aka The Trio) were already a tight group. To compete in the show they needed 5 so Avi and Kevin were added. They actually all got together for the first time the day before the auditions. Watch PTX's evolution from the beginning and see 5 supremely talented people gel into the powerhouse we know today.
Here's a link to their first performance: ua-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/v-deo.html The brief lead-in gives you their background in a nutshell. Scott, Kirsty, and Mitch were still in their teens. Mitch was a senior in high school and Kirsty and Scott were freshmen in college. Avi was also in college and Kevin just graduated from Yale (which is why he couldn't join the group in person until just before the audition). I hope you choose to react to a version that contains the judges comments to see if you agree or disagree with what the judges say. (They're a little more laid back than the American Idol judges.) I was surprised to learn about the origin of "heavy metal". And they were up against groups with a lot more experience -- some professionals with years of experience singing together. You can see them grow as a group as they move through the competition. There are certain performances were I think you'll see that they stood up and made statements.
Couldn't agree more with all of those recommending checking out their humble beginnings on The Sing Off. Then given how much you appreciate Kevin's otherworldly talent, here is a link to a live performance of him going full on Hulk mode with his cello-boxing ua-cam.com/video/DbCasvcNx78/v-deo.html
I also vote that you watch all 12 of their performances on the Sing Off Season 3 (from 2011). Watch them in order (and make sure the clips you get are more than 5 minutes, so you know you've got the ones with the judges comments). Also, watch them ALL the way to the end....sometimes there is bonus content with the group after their performance. This is when they became who they are. The 1st episode gives their entire back story :-).
MrDuckBear did a nice job of splicing each week's sing off episode intro, performance, judges comments, and outro (sometimes PTX, sometimes other show info) into cohesive tracks. Later in the series they sang two performances per episode.
Great reaction! I enjoyed it. You can call Avi's voice "sexy" any time you want, because it is!! This song has sooo many moments by each of them that knock my socks off! Each of them shine in this upgrade. (Whoever the fan was that invented that phrase of"upgrades" for PTX songs was spot on!)
I was so excited to see you react to this, when you told us on the last video that you were doing a reaction to Can't Hold Us! I think you would love La La Latch, a mashup with Avi Kaplan as the bass singer. Please react to some of their original music too! I love Can't Sleep Love, Coffee in Bed, and Be My Eyes. This group is phenomenal!
LOL I loved your face when Scott started his stuff! I love this song...even though I'm old enough to be your mother! Too good! They are showing their individual personalities with the style changing! It's great!
If you want to see more of them rapping, check out their cover of 'Problem', and Mitch and Scott's side project Superfruit! They have 'Feeling Myself', Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2 - also be sure to watch past the subscribe screen sometimes they have outtakes and bloopers! Also reccomending their Sing Off journey!
Okay, I can see that PTX is blowing your mind with each new song you experience. If you are interested in more rap by them, you can check out their cover of another Macklemore/R. Lewis colab. "Thrift Shop." You can listen to Keven dropping some bars in one of the most upbeat songs ever written, "Sing," a PTX original. Or, you can hear Mitch do some fantastic oral articulations in their cover of Arianna Grande's "Problem." By the way, your little one is adorable. Have fun in the PTX rabbit hole!
Don’t ever doubt Melissa, she knows! If you want more rapping from PTX, there’s more! Their cover of “Problem,” the “Popspring 2016” version of their original song, “Can’t Sleep Love,” and Superfruit’s cover of “Feeling Myself,” should get you started. I also recommend their cover of “Ride” I think you’d dig it.
That’s one of the things I love about Pentatonix - it’s such a balanced group, and they seem to honestly work to make sure everyone of them gets to shine, no drama, no backbiting, just the music. And SUCH music.
Great reaction. Thanks. They are pretty amazing. Pentatonix started their latest world tour in March 2023. They have already toured Singapore, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. They are off now, taking a break and shooting scenes for a Netflix movie. In May they will start the UK/European leg of their world tour. In August, they will start the USA/Canada leg of their world tour. I hope that you get tickets. They are amazing live.
For a great taste of them Live do their Popspring 2016, 4 originals done live and you get that full taste of them in concert. They are crazy!! old..."Somebody That I Used to Know" was their 1st, I love La La Latch.
PTX kills everything they put their skills to, it’s like they reinterpret and refresh songs we know thru some crazy a cappella converter magic machine. They put on fantastic live shows, if u have the opportunity to see them live DO IT ❤️🔥🙌
Totally love the way the whole group rallied behind each performer as they each did their own "solo" version of the song and then intertwined each performance to collab an inter collective masterpiece of all the segmented performances. Beautiful!
Yes, please, do the Sing Off performances! Pentaholics love to follow through all of them with you! The videos from mrduckbear11's channel are great, they have the judges' comments plus the intro and outro pieces ( you'll def get yelled at in the comments if you skip any of those! Great judges and some iconic comments, advice you can see them still following) Love your reactions - thank you!
PTX Volume II was unbelievably good. This was the first track. This EP also included an original called Run To You and the Grammy winning Daft Punk. Only seven songs but every one was mind blowing. They were so good from the beginning.
Scott and especially Mitch are great rappers. Check out their Superfruit videos like HipHop Goes Broadway or Feeling Myself! You should also check out Kevin's Fifth from a previous tour. It is live and he is so freakin' talented!!!
More things about your reaction that I love than I could possibly name: vibe, intelligence, substance, feeling, theatrica-lness (the good kind), and more. Thanks!
I'll say it again, I love your reactions to PTX, and your energy and attitude. You should check out their 2016 Pop Spring performance. 3 original songs and evolution of Michael Jackson, all live. It's truly awesome.
If you start with the Sing-Off - realize that their first performance was literally just days after Avi and Kevin joined the group. They were fabulous right off the bat. My favorites are their rendition of Let’s Get it On by Marvin Gaye (Scott dominates) and Dog Days are Over, one of their last performances. You’ve got a lot to get through, so take a deep breath and go! I’m looking forward to all of it. Peace …
Quick correction-Their audition was days after meeting each other. After they found out they were on the show, they spent a few weeks in TX at Scott’s parents house rehearsing. Scott’s dad came home from work one day and asked mom if they got a drum set and she said, No, that’s just Kevin. 😆
Blinding Light is another great one, Havana and Can You Feel The Love Tonight just to name a few. You will enjoy all of their creations. Oh Come All Ye Faithful is freaking fantastic too. They are just too good.
They also do another Macklemore & Ryan Lewis cover, Thrift Shop - and the Trio rap in unison! On the official video, make sure you stay tuned for the outro - there's a surprise! There's even a fan-filmed video of them performing it in the waiting area of an airport while waiting for a flight, taking over the PA system and amazing the waiting passengers and crews. ua-cam.com/video/LSFeK7NrvDI/v-deo.html
The oldest Pentatonix videos are the twevle competition performances from the Sing Off. These are their very first public performances as they formed to compete in the Sing Off. Recommend their mashup of New Rules x Are You That Somebody.
Please react to Wizard of Ahhhs, Problem, and Last Christmas. Those will all blow your mind, and a different person shines in each song. Keep the reactions coming!! Subbed for more PTX ❤
Would also like to request you check out some live versions. Maybe Joyful Joyful, which also features Matt, or maybe do the video followed by a live version also.
Better take it way back to the sing off. And watch them blow your mind. It’s starts at the beginning and by week five they are getting really good and then they get better and better by week 7 they never look back. Sing off week 10, 11 and 12 require a seat belt😅
What's great...they look like their having fun doing this...the best at what they do....love them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ...love your videos too hun...keep at it!!!!❤❤
Love your reactions. You would love one with Matt who took over base when avi left called new rules/are you that somebody. Matt and Kevin are fire in this one
I know what you will like. From 10 years ago! Their cover of "Thrift Shop", Avi cracks me up in that one. Macklemore and Ryan song, but a much 'cleaner' version. LOL
I love your reaction to this one! They can all rap (apart from Avi but Matt can rap!). For a real 'Mitch rap slap' try their cover of Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea's 'Problem'. Mitch is unbelievable on that one. Also on Scott and Mitch's 'Superfruit' channel, watch their version of Nicki Minaj's 'Feelin' myself' as they both rap on that and it's awesome.
Now you need to react to their cover of Ariana Grande Problem both the official video and their live (the live is at a radio station the thumbnail is Mitch using an orange mic), Mitch does Iggy's rap! Its incredible.
Do you want to see Mitch actually rap Ariania Grande Problem ua-cam.com/video/4Z9b2HiW_L8/v-deo.html , Niki & Bey Feeling Myself ua-cam.com/video/4Z9b2HiW_L8/v-deo.html

ps - Pentaholics just love, love, love watching reactions to the Sing Off. It lets us relive it again for the 'first time' albiet vicariously.
Yes!!! DO IT!!

I cackled so hard when you had to leave the room after Mitch rapped. It's so unfair how talented that guy is lol
I also vote that you watch all 12 of their performances on the Sing Off Season 3 (from 2011).

Yes to all this. We will watch with you

Recommend their mashup “New Rules x Are You That Somebody”. It’s 🔥!!!
The oldest performances on youtube are when they competed on " the sing-off" in 2011. Thats where Pentatonix started.

Yes, PTX are the damn Avengers of a cappella. Still blows my mind how special they are.
Thanks for the laughs!

I told you it would blow your mind more than you could even imagine! I can’t wait to go see them again in September!

That was awesome. Lol I was laughing so hard how blown away you were. Lol WE knew Mitch slap was on the horizon

@@LoccdWolfReacts if you want a true magical ptx experience react to The Wizard of Ahhhhs. Absolute Kirsten incredible
For a great taste of them Live do their Popspring 2016, 4 originals done live and you get that full taste of them in concert. They are crazy!! old..."Somebody That I Used to Know" was their 1st, I love La La Latch.
La La Latch is an insanely good arrangement. They and Ben Bram (arranger) did themselves proud.
PTX kills everything they put their skills to, it’s like they reinterpret and refresh songs we know thru some crazy a cappella converter magic machine. They put on fantastic live shows, if u have the opportunity to see them live DO IT ❤️🔥🙌
Best reaction to this song 🤣🤣👏🏼

Scott and especially Mitch are great rappers. Check out their Superfruit videos like HipHop Goes Broadway or Feeling Myself! You should also check out Kevin's Fifth from a previous tour. It is live and he is so freakin' talented!!!
Definitely start with the Sing Off season 2.
It is their very FIRST performances.
The literally got together right before the competition.
season 2 was good - but PTX were on Season 3
Season 3
I would love to know your opinion on their Ariana Grande cover of "Problem". Thanks for all your reactions.
More things about your reaction that I love than I could possibly name: vibe, intelligence, substance, feeling, theatrica-lness (the good kind), and more. Thanks!
I really appreciate it
I do not believe I have ever heard a more appropriate reaction to this song...EVER!! 😂❤

@@packerkats7578Thanks, I had it muddled in my mind! Of course it was the audition, that makes total sense.
Blinding Light is another great one, Havana and Can You Feel The Love Tonight just to name a few. You will enjoy all of their creations. Oh Come All Ye Faithful is freaking fantastic too. They are just too good.
Great breakdown of that song. I think they killed it, awesome stuff. Please check out more PTX.
They also do another Macklemore & Ryan Lewis cover, Thrift Shop - and the Trio rap in unison! On the official video, make sure you stay tuned for the outro - there's a surprise!

It's absolutely crazy how good PTX is. No instruments and such awesome sounds.
ALSO Hip Hop Goes Broadway from Superfruit, which is Scott and Mitch’s duo
Yes 🤯👏🏻🔥 PLEASE watch Love Again, Problem, Gold and then Superfruit (Scott and Mitch) doing Feeling Myself, Hip Hop Goes Broadway and Empire Medley. 😁
Please react to Wizard of Ahhhs, Problem, and Last Christmas. Those will all blow your mind, and a different person shines in each song. Keep the reactions coming!! Subbed for more PTX ❤

Better take it way back to the sing off. And watch them blow your mind. It’s starts at the beginning and by week five they are getting really good and then they get better and better by week 7 they never look back. Sing off week 10, 11 and 12 require a seat belt😅

I'm going to both of those concerts this year and I am so excited!! Hope you get to enjoy both as well!!
Honestly, you're my favorite for reactions!
There are a few videos where they rap. Watch their original Sing where Kevin has a rap solo.
6:09 LOL! You needed a minute… we get it.
Yes! The Sing Off IS the beginning
chronological watch thru of PTX? sick. subscribed!!!
The SingOff performances are the earliest. Please react to these including the judges comments.
KK!!
GREAT reaction video.
I feel you.
Kevin plays the cello and he does that in the videos sometimes. I recommend Shallow.
you have the best reactions - love watching you watching them!
I know what you will like. From 10 years ago! Their cover of "Thrift Shop", Avi cracks me up in that one. Macklemore and Ryan song, but a much 'cleaner' version. LOL
Awesome reaction!!
LOVED your reaction!!! Made my day!!!
Lol! You have had just a tiny taste of what PTX can do, and they have a long list of songs to keep you busy, friend! Enjoy the ride!😊
Mind Blown! Love this one!
I love your reaction to this one! They can all rap (apart from Avi but Matt can rap!). For a real 'Mitch rap slap' try their cover of Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea's 'Problem'. Mitch is unbelievable on that one. Also on Scott and Mitch's 'Superfruit' channel, watch their version of Nicki Minaj's 'Feelin' myself' as they both rap on that and it's awesome.
You should check out some of Avi's solo stuff. So many amazing songs. Change On The Rise is a great one to start with ❤

Yes you can count Rap in their wheelhouse. Lets see home free rap. Lol 😊
Now you need to react to their cover of Ariana Grande Problem both the official video and their live (the live is at a radio station the thumbnail is Mitch using an orange mic), Mitch does Iggy's rap! Its incredible.
Great reaction. I love that your filter made it look like they all ate a blue freeze before the video lol
You also need to check out Problem if you really want to lose your mind over some beats and bars
And a suggestion, check out Wizard of Ahhhs with Todrick Hall. You'll love it.
Babytonix!!!
If you want to see more Mitch rapping - look at "Problem" (the Ariana Grande song). He's just amazing.
Has it been recommended to you to check out Kevin's solo work? "Down" is pretty cool, shows a lot of his talents.
It has! I will definitely make my way to them no worries
Want some more Macklemore fun, try Thrift Shop, it's hilarious
Versatile doesn't do them justice...
Can't wait to see you do ptx daft punk or 90s mix
You just got Mitch slapped
Happens alot
If you liked ths, then react to Problem. Then Scott and Mitch have a side channel, SuperFruit, listen to Feeling Myself
You should listen to New Rules x Are you that Somebody want to hear somethin to blow ur mind!
Check out Problem!
Yeah, you did... "smile"...
There is nothing they can't do.
So, ready to go again...!?! No, they're the only amazing thing...
Do you want to see Mitch actually rap Ariania Grande Problem ua-cam.com/video/4Z9b2HiW_L8/v-deo.html , Niki & Bey Feeling Myself ua-cam.com/video/4Z9b2HiW_L8/v-deo.html
Try Sing for more Kevin rap...
And no instruments
