    The irony is that Kevin, who is the beatboxer, has an ANGELIC voice, and we so rarely hear it. But if you want to hear more Pentatonix, and hear Kevin actually *sing*, listen to "Mary Did You Know" by Pentatonix. You won't regret it.

    The tall blonde who started is Scott Hoying. He is a baritone, not an actual bass but can hit the low notes when needed. The short guy with the mullet is Mitch Grassi. His voice is INCREDIBLE and so unique. The third singer in the white jacket is Matt Sallee. He is new and replaced the original actual bass of the group, Avi Kaplan, who left on amicable terms with the group and now does solo stuff. The woman is Kirsten (or Kirstie) Maldonado and the beatboxer is Kevin Olusola who CAN sing but rarely does since he's usually too busy keeping the beat, but he has a soft sweet voice. He went to Juilliard and can play the cello. Everyone was so sad when Avi left the group as he also has such a unique voice and was a lot of people's favorite in the group. If you listen to Halleluyah, which I highly recommend, you'll be equally blown away.

      The other thing to note is that there was just the ONE change of group membership. Avi from 2011-2017, then Matt from 2017 - present. Mitch and Kirstie change their looks almost daily!! It is always them though.

      Oh, it's not that Kevin CAN play the cello, it's that he plays it MARVELOUSLY. He also plays saxophone well enough that he was part of a concert at Carnage Hall. He speaks five languages and paused studies in medical school to join Pentatonix and do this. If the music career doesn't pan out he can always go back to school. lol

    Paul Simon wrote wonderful music. The bass vocalist is Matt on the left hand side. Scott started the song singing in a very low range. They all have amazing voices and ranges. Acapella is incredibly difficult as every vocalist must sing every note perfectly without instrumental backing to help them. Pentatonix are simply superb.

    They are managed by Sony, who are a bit protective of their copyright and do have a habit of randomly blocking videos. Recommend when you do any more Pentatonix that you blur the video, or add an overlay on top of the video so as not to arouse Sony. You've listened to Queen playing Bohemian Rhapsody, so you know that it would be absolutely impossible to do that one a capella, don't you? WRONG! You have to listen to Pentatonix's cover. It will alter your perception of what is possible. And if you're impressed with an a capella guitar solo, try their version of Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy. That's an a capella version of an orchestral instrumental. Prepare to be mind-blown.

      They're managed by Sony?! After PTX won the Sing Off, didn't Sony cancel their prize contract in less than a year?
      The New York Times reports
      Madison Gates records a small unit of Sony pictures that finds music for movies and television manages Pentatonix. Sony did drop them from their major record label Epic I think is the label name. The decision was supposedly made on research of previous acapella groups success but I guess they didn't really listen because they're not like previous acapella groups oh well.

    Hallelujah is amazing. you are so impressed and emotional, then the angel sings. Amazing Grace you get to hear Kevin's crystal clear voice singing. Imagine you really get to hear each of them. A cross-over with Home Free, after Avi leaves Pentatonix, he does a guest role on Ring of Fire; one of Johnny Cash's best songs. Also, Mitch and Scott have a side project Superfruit, I highly recommend their cover of When in Rome's "The Promise"

He's another crooner from New Orleans whose voice sounds like warm honey - a cross between Sam Cooke and Harry Belafonte.

    As a child of the "60's when there was so much turmoil around the Vietnam War, and racial inequities, I think that Simon and Garfunkel wrote one of the greatest lines in any song ever written when they sang, "And the sign said "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls". To this day, those lyrics still make me think back to those troubling days and how powerful music was. Thanks to Paul and Art for writing and signing such meaningful music.
