It’s interesting because this song is late in the game on sing off and this is really the first time Mitch is set up like we know and live now. He has had solos before in sing off but a lot of it was actually in a lower register and he largely didn’t show off high notes etc. so this was largely the first time people really heard Mitch being Mitch.
Yuuuuup. And while it wasn't their last performance (they had two more plus a victory song), this one was *THE LAST ONE THAT MATTERED*. Bc after this pre-taped episode aired, viewers got to vote on the winner. The next episode was a live finale that was a bunch of performances as window dressing to the announcement of the voting results.
I am 100% convinced that they were saving him, just in case. That, like, if at any point they got feedback that made them feel like they EXTRA HOLY CRAP needed to step it up to stay in, a Mitch Countertenor Solo was gonna be in their pocket to pull out for the next show. But they didn't need it, so it got to STAY in their pocket until the performance that needed to knock people's socks off to win it all.
This is the one that won it for them. I was rooting for them from the very beginning, but when I got "mitch-slapped", I knew they were going to win.
One of my favorite songs that don’t get watched enough is “sing” by pentatonix
Absolutely! It's a wonderful, upbeat ORIGINAL song. The official video is a thank-you gift to the fans. It's filled with lots of eye candy, including an Abbey Road homage and snippets sent in by fans, both celebrity and otherwise. The end always makes me cry and smile at the same time.
agreed. it's awesome and an original of theirs.
I agree!
Maura Cleary you're so right. I do love their originals.
For sure!
Can you believe that Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin were only 19? Mitch was still in high school!
Mitch had just left High School, but had to skip his graduation ceremony to be on the Sing Off
@@EhrineAshbark Ah, yes thank you
I thought they were younger 😂
Yes, those 3 were still just babies!! Very talented babes !!!
To give a little history on why that Mitch solo was so mind blowing....The judges on the sing off would very consistently either praise the lead vocals of Scott and Kirstin, OR they would praise the background sounds by Avi and Kevin. Mitch was not recognized nearly as often. In this shining moment, they put him front and center and all turned away from him to give him every ounce of the attention. Your pause in the middle of it was unfortunate timing, because that solo was (for me) the most emotional moment not only of that show, but of any Pentatonix song before or after that. I still cry when I see it. You started viewing other videos before this, and you didn’t watch the competition at all, much less see the progression, so you couldn’t have known what a lot of people were (presumably) experiencing in this moment. All of that said, I highly recommend watching the entire Sing Off, in order. I have no idea why that show ended. It was the best!
The show had groups with as few as 5 but some of the groups were huge. The whole thing was acapella but PTX definitely took their arrangements to the next level and with Kevin and Avi as their percussion, it really pushed them ahead of the rest of the groups. :)
One of the great things about their Sing Off performances that often gets left out is that they had just met up for the first time only a couple of days before the competition began. Scott, Mitch, and Kirsten grew up and sang together, but Avi was just someone recommended to him by a friend at his college campus to fill in as the bass and Kevin was found by a viral UA-cam video. The first song they did for the Sing Off was their first arrangement they did as a group, and you can see their progression throughout the series as they worked together and got the feel for how they meshed more and more.
I definitely recommend watching their entire Sing Off run.
Now go back and listen again for Avi’s “overtone” singing on top of his bass. It’s the sound that comes through in the beginning of the song, and sounds a little like a mouth harp or droning didgeridoo. Amazing.
If you didn't see the intro to this video - this song was chosen for them by the judges.
I watched these all in order last weekend, and "Born to be Wild" is the one where I thought "Wow, ptx has arrived now!!"
okay you convinced me... I'll stop being a statistic and subscribe to the channel. I've been waiting for someone to react to PTX's earlier works. I've been a Pentaholic since those days and it's important that people see just how talented these kids have always been and how much they've worked their asses off to get where they are now. That talent wasn't made in a studio
Same! I wish more people would react to their The Sing Off performances.
Need more from Sing Off! Born to Be Wild is still amazing.
PTX only fully formed a couple of days before the audition to the Sing Off - that's when Avi, Kevin, and the trio met for the first time (the trio had known each other before). I think they'd only sung together once before the audition. They were still very much working out their sound over the course of the show. When they came back for the next season 2 years later as a guest performance, it was night and day!
My favorite song they did on the sing off is Love Lockdown (a Kanye West cover). It really showcases Avi (and to an extent Kevin) in my opinion.
They were the smallest group of all the groups.
Scott Mitch and Kirsten were 19 yrs. old at the time
“Sing” is a good one it is an original. Also if you wanna see more of their sing off performances. They did “Let’s Get It On”. Which is my 2nd favorite to the Dog days
Born to be Wild was pretty spectacular as well.
Their arranger that worked with them on The Sing-off was Ben Bramm. After the show was over, he stayed with them and is responsible for helping them develop their "style" that you described. He is equally as amazing as the 5 of them are. Yes, the Sing-off was all acapella groups. The minimum group size was 5 which is why the trio added Avi and Kevin. Not sure what the max group size was, but probably around 30.
Ben and Scott were friends before the Sing-Off and Ben actually helped Scott put PTX together. I believe he helped with arranging their first song: E.T., but they did at least the majority of the arranging themselves for the rest of the season.
Of course Ben has been their co-arranger (and co-producer, I think) ever since.
I believe they had to do the arranging mostly by themselves. There was a seminar afterwards they did where they talk about Kevin and Avi's arrangements. It would make sense to be restricted that way. Ben Folds does make a comment to Kevin about the written arrangement he apparently saw so I think that may have been part of the requirements for the competition.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 He definitely assisted them. There are interviews where it is talked about. I don't know how much, of course. I'm not taking anything away from the performing members, just pointing out his contribution.
And I mentioned other public discourse that you can check on. The discussion is closed.
@@gailseatonhumbert9199 Lol, what a weird reaction to have. He assisted them. To what degree doesn't really matter. He is part of PTX from start until now. Kevin and Avi wrote Run To You, but that doesn't mean that Mitch, Scott, & Kirstie aren't also part of it.
Most of the groups had many more members ... the judges noted more than once how such a full sound could come from just 5 people.
I have heard Mitch sing his solo live and I wept. This is what clinches their win. Without Mitch and Avi, no sing off win.
And Kevin's amazing beat-boxing.
...and Scott’s arrangements...and Kirstie’s crystal clear harmonies. That’s the beauty of Pentatonix; each of them plays a key role.
What I think you mean is all of them, that’s what makes them pentatonix. well besides avi
I watched a version of this where the judges' comments were included and one of them talked about how concentrated Avi & Kevin were and how Avi was still under full body tension after the song finished and it made me love the performance even more!
The show had "concerns". First they required one lead singer who would also be the spokesman for the group. Then they were concerned with Mitch's unusual voice. Pentatonix forced the show to acknowledge Mitch by the set up of this the last song of the season. They would come back in 2013 as the "guest performance" and blow the show away one more time with a couple of surprises about another band member who had been constrained from demonstrating their full potential in the Sing-Off off as well 🙂 You do need to watch all of the Sing-Off episodes starting with the recreation they did of one of the better known songs from their audition where Scott is quite candid about Avi and Kevin. I will find it for you and the channel.
Gail Seaton Humbert I would love to see it also if you wouldn’t mind posting a link to it. Would appreciate it highly.
This wasn't the last song of the season. this is from the semi final. The last song was their victory song: Eye of the Tiger :)
The last song the judges and public voted on for the winner.
The channel that has them all is MrDuckBear11. No playlist but Here’s a link to the 1st one. He includes the show intro, judges comments & outro! ua-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/v-deo.html
Well here is the initial video that Avi saw of the trio and the recreation that Pentatonix did for one of their earliest gigs after the Sing-Off of their audition.

Wee young Mitch and Avi are too adorable for words in their lil matching outfits.
The Sing-Off was all acapella groups, but they varied in size and composition. Home Free, which I know you also enjoy, won the year after Pentatonix.
Interestingly, Pentatonix was formed for that competition. They weren't a group before that. Kirsten, Scott, and Mitch were friends and wanted to compete so they recruited Kevin and Avi from the internet to make a group together.
Home Free, on the other hand, were working professionally as a group long before the competition but used the show to not only revitalize what they were doing (different kinds of music, incorporating comedy, etc) but also expand their audience.
It was a great concept for a show and Ben Folds was a fantastic judge/host. I wish it could have lasted longer.
"Hope Free" we all know is a typo for Home Free and they were throwing some comedy into their aCapella group, but they originated as mostly country and gospel. They didn't really broaden their genre horizons that much until the Sing-Off competition, and have spread their wings greatly since.
@@thomasarussellsr fixed the booboo, thank you
They won the season of the show after Pentatonix (season 4), but it was 2 years after the Pentatonix win in season 3. Pentatonix had already gone viral several times and had already self produced their PTX Volume 1 and Volume 2, which had charted.
Ben Folds was an excellent judge. I actually liked the judges table they had in season 3 and 4 the best. I think it was one of the best groups of judges for any singing show. You could tell they all knew what they were talking about.
@@ladyshar42 I liked Sarah Berillis in season 3 a lot more than Jewel in Season 4, but I agree, Ben Folds was one of the best judges in any music competition, his musical knowledge and his ear are amazing. And who wouldn't love Shaun?!! He's just awesome!
The Sing Off was absolutely amazing! Every group that performed was an acapella group, but most groups had way more than 5 members. I highly recommend watching the last season of The Sing Off. There were some amazing groups (Dartmouth Aires I'm looking at you) but PTX definitely deserved their win. I enjoyed the show so much I actually bought the whole season off of Amazon so that I could go back and watch it whenever I wanted to (with much better audio than on UA-cam).
The sing off is how most of us fell in love with a pentatonix. But you HAVE TO watch some a Dartmouth Aires from the same competition. They were Pentatonix’s main competition. Their version of a Queen medley is INSANE. Seriously. Trust.
You should react to all of the sing off performances!! But the ones with the intros and judges comments! Great video as always!
The sing off was all acapella groups, but there were mostly large groups on their season.
Jase, if you decide to do a Sing-Off deep dive as Chrissy suggests, with intros and judges as well, then get your videos from mrduckbear11. The sound quality is about as good as you could hope for and he gives the whole Pentatonix segment for each of their performance. If you do it, a bunch of us will eagerly watch every one of them! Guaranteed. Side note on size of groups: There are lots of big groups competing, but in seasons 1 through 4, all the winners were either 5 or 6 members.
Yep! Here’s the first one. ua-cam.com/video/9STdbGrfCLA/v-deo.html
Also, Jase, besides the main competition performances mentioned above, there are additional group collaborations. Here's my obligatory cut'n'paste info dump for potentials reactions:
additional PTX performances in season 3 of TSO
If you want to react to more Pentatonix from this season, there are also the mega-group collaborations. At the start of each episode, all of the groups appearing in that episode did a large group number together. These are still some of my favourite musical performances from this show series. No other singing competition show has ever done group collaborations as well as The Sing-Off. You get to see the vocal talent Pentatonix was up against. PTX appeared in episodes 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. The songs are:
Ep 2: "Sing" by My Chemical Romance ua-cam.com/video/aXDsNl57jLc/v-deo.html

Thank you so much for doing this selection from early in their career. The Sing Off was an a capella competition show that never did that well in the ratings. The show did give us PTX and the world is a much better place now. Scott, Mitch and Kirsten were a trio in high school in Arlington, Texas. They recruited Avi and Kevin so they could compete on season 3 of the show. The show had groups as small as 4 and up close to 20. Many of the groups were college a capella groups. Some were created just to compete on the show. I am one of the a capella nerds who has watched every episode multiple times and wish it would come back.
The minimum was 5, there was no 4 person group. (this season - I haven't seen season 1 or 2) The producers didn't want any quartet type sound. North Shore had a barber shop sound and I've seen others mistakenly say they were a 4 person group but look again: They had 5 people.
@@janices5389 Season 1 featured the female barbershop quartet, MAXX Factor from Baltimore
Oh Just watch'em áll in chronological order with intro & outro + the guest performance in later years 😋
Not only were Scott, Mitch and Kirstin only 19 but Avi was 22 and Kevin was 23. And they were all learning those songs with very little time to mix, practice and perfect each song. These competition videos still amaze me every time I watch them. Huge talents!!!
Jase... thanks a million for this reaction. (I’ve been waiting) 😀. Now to get u to react to Scott singing I should tell ur Momma on You. Vocal gymnastics
Ooohh! Yes, yes, yes! It's amazing!
Love that Linkin Park shirt! This was my favorite PTX performance from their time of the Sing Off :)
This may have already been said but this performance was “judges choice”. They blew it out of the park which was a surprise to absolutely no one. Thanks for this reaction!
This was always one of my favorites! The arrangement and execution was just so genius!!
Keep in mind that they only performed together for the first time the day before they started their Sing-off journey. While Mitch, Scott & Kirstie grew up together performing etc, they added Avi & then Kevin very late in the game for the competition. If you watch the episodes in order you hear that steady improvement from where there's a lot of empty space around their vocals to slowly becoming more resembling what we know them now. This was the first real time they absolutely showcased what Mitch could do, before that he mostly stuck to his lower register & his solos weren't spotlighted.
I think Mitch turned 19 (so there were 3 of them were 19) during the show or at the beginning, he missed his high school graduation for the competition. They do so wild arrangements in this competiton, and it's always fun to hear the judges comments again. This is my fave because it's the first mitch-slap, but then Video Killed The Radio Star is brilliant.
I suggest you react to all the PTX performances on season 3 Sing Off including intros, judge’s comments and PTX post-performance reaction. You will see stars being born. They are incredible !
The Sing-Off was an a cappella competition. Of the 16 groups competing, three others (mostly eliminated early) were the minimum size of 5, but several were in the 14-to-16 range (those being mostly the collegiate groups). You can glimpse one of those big groups, the Dartmouth Aires, in the reaction at the end of this video, in a box at the side of the stage, being very sportsmanlike in the way they applauded the group that just annihilated all competition.
Thank you for reacting to this!!!! I think this is perhaps their best live performance.
One of my fav SingOff videos from them is Love Lockdown...it was so emotional and amazing!!
Please react to their Video Killed the Radio Star with Judge's comments. Such a good arrangement!
In the Sing-Off it was ALL acapella and they had to have at least 5 members, they wanted one singer to be the spokesman and the lead singer. That would be Scott. But in this song PTX finally let Mitch have his spot and let him show what he had. I think this was the 1st time !!! I LOVE MITCH!! I think the judges were a little concerned wondering that PTX would be able to go through to the end! Since most the other groups had quite a few more members, some with 16 or twenty! The best way to see how this group progressed is to watch them from song one to the end where they WON it!!
This was the very first Mitch-slap.
Yes, _The Sing-Off_ was all a cappella. No, it was not limited to groups with just five members. Five was the *minimum* number allowed. The trio (Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch) wanted to go on _The Sing-Off_ but were informed that they didn't meet the requirements so they went looking for a bass and a beatboxer to fill out their band, and found Avi and Kevin. They were the smallest group on _The Sing-Off_ in season 3 (perhaps ever?), and they packed the biggest punch.
And hard to believe Scott, Kiss the, and Mitch were only 19 at the time of this performance!
Went on a PTX memory lane binge a week or two ago and found your channel. Love your reactions and the appreciation you have for them
You should also react to their performance back when they were in the Sing Off. That's where you can see how creative their arrangements were even from the beginning
I love Kirstin in this video. After Mitch's solo, she appeared to have felt like a football player who wanted to jump around in the end zone after the team scored a touchdown. She managed to channel it into her singing. I saw an interview where she said that, once they got backstage, she just started crying, saying how happy she was that the judges finally got to hear Mitch sing.
They are so good live its ridiculous. Their version of Where Are You Christmas and Hallelujah are my favorite versions ever. Mitch's part in Where Are you Christmas gives me chills everytime
The Sing Off where they sing a Marvin Gaye song is worth checking out as well. It's freaking EPIC! I forget the name of it because I just woke up and haven't had any coffee yet.
I think Let’s Get it On is the song you’re thinking of.
You need a whole Sing Off section of videos!! There's soooooo much there to take in! 4 seasons worth!
You mentioned the part where Mitch takes over being in a lot of their compositions: it all started right here! This is the first time they ever did it and it was so successful and well received that they've kept it moving forward for the rest of their career!
This was the judges choice. Strong vocals with a lot of moving parts.
Yes, The Sing-Off was specifically a competition for a cappella groups. I think the rules said they had to have a minimum of 5 members & I seem to remember several groups who had more like 15-20 members at the very beginning of the show but I don't remember any of their names now.. IF you think about it, 4 members singing a cappella is called a quartet so I'm assuming that was why they had to have a minimum of 5 members. There is another a cappella group called Straight No Chaser that were never on The Sing-Off, but made it big in their own right. I think that they paved the way for The Sing-Off to become an a cappella competition!!!
My favorite SingOff song was Love Locked Down. They have some good ones and some okay ones.
Love the blue set up behind you! Looks great.
If you've ever seen the "Philharmonic" on James Corden, they are also from the Sing-off as well as Home Free. It was amazing to see a show that celebrated such an old tradition that's alive and well, especially in collegiate music programs. There is even a big international competition for a capella groups at the collegiate level called ICCA. It's like the Olympics for a cappela. Anyone who has a school that is serious about it wants to win at ICCA. There is also The Harmony Sweepstakes "A cappela Super Bowl" - it was where the idea for the Sing-Off came from.
This hard is tough as hell... I can't believe they pulled this off. They killed it
Fun fact! Scott was actually really sick the day of this performance, and had actually lost his voice prior to going on stage. You can hear him pushing through at the very end- although you can hardly notice unless you look for it! He's a legend!
You’re back!!! Glad to see another PTX video from you!! Hope you are doing well!!
Glad you did this one. PTX was the smallest a cappella group. They met Avi and Kevin the day before the audition. It would be worth it to check out two others from the the Sing Off , Let’s Get it On by Marvin Gaye and a really amazing rock number Born to be Wild. Kevin and Avi kill it in Born to be Wild.
I've watched the first four seasons several times over. Several great groups, several amazing covers and medleys. Nota "Sledgehammer," Dartmouth Aires "Higher Ground," Urban Method "Here I Go Again," Committed "This Love," and Home Free "Ring of Fire" just to name a few.
I watch the sing-off songs so many times. I’d really like to see them do updated & full versions of the songs.
Their original song "Sing" was extremely popular on the charts. So much in fact that they changed some words in it and it was used for the theme song for Thursday Night Football on NBC for the NFL. Their video for Sing has a ton of mainstream stars in it and the TNF version is very entertaining to see some of the football stars singing their song. Just a great song and video all around. In case you can't tell I stan PTX :)
They were teens when they entered the Sing Off and they are the group with the least number of members. Their competitors have 10+ members and they still won.
React to PTX sing off Radio Killed the Radio star
This one and Let's Get it On were my favorite performances.
the Sing off stuff is amazing. I personally love their "Let's Get It On" (marvin gaye)
the rest of the groups were of varying sizes, mostly between 8 and 15, and while there were a few other groups that had 5 members, they were all eliminated pretty early (there were 16 groups total), and PTX by far had the biggest sound of the smaller groups by a long ways.
Love the videos, sir! Gotta throw out there the deal with Sing-Off: It was a place where a bunch of different forms of A Capella met, the season where PTX debuted there were several Collegiate A Capella groups, some of which traditionally didn't use a "beatboxer", there was a New Jersey group representing an early form of doo-wop a capella, a family representing the early "country" family choir, a pop group from Branson and an award winning touring group from LA that used electronic effects on their voices representing what current pop groups were performing, a refugee group from Africa. Plus there were multiple groups that had been put together just for the show - one was created by the runner-ups from the previous year who put together a bunch of musicians they knew from Nashville, an all-star female group that pulled together 3 groups from the previous 2 years into one mega group of accomplished singers, another group from LA that were individually involved in the music business but banded together to make a push for fame, and another from Denver that were trying to make a stake for the Hip-Hop A Capella scene. And this isn't even going into how amazing those collegiate groups were just look up, the University of Delaware Deltones, the Rochester Yellow Jackets, BYU Vocal Point, Howard University Afro Blue, and the Darthmouth Aires. Seriously, right now just pull up Dartmouth Aires Kanye West Medley - its so much better than it should be.
Honestly, this season was so freakin' good. I honestly believed they must have scripted it - it may have been so good that the subsequent seasons couldn't pull off how epic the 3rd season was.
Yes! More PTX!!!! I love their sing off performances. This one and video killed the radio star were epic .
You should react to all of the SING-OFF performances, including what the judges have to say.
they have improved so so much since then which is amazing since they were already pretty awesome back then
At that time, they were breaking the mold on what was considered acapella. Too many people thought of barbershop quartets or glee club music. As time passed, even though they kept pushing the boundaries of acapella, they ruthlessly honed their performance skills until each song was just perfection.
I agree with Maura & friends. Sing is one of my favorite songs they do, it always puts me in a good mood, every time I watch the vid I see a celebrity flash by that I didn’t notice before, it’s different than any of their other songs... Sing be very good. I’ve never seen someone react to it, but I surely would enjoy it. 👍🏻😊
Thank you so much for reacting to this one! It's one of my all time favorite performances by Pentatonix.
By far my favorite performance on the show. Avi's overtone singing in this one...wow!
My favorite performance on the show. All groups had a LOT more people. The minimum group members was five.
LOVED the entire 2011 Sing Off competition. Baby PTX were phenomenal from the age of 19! View their sing off version or "Love Locked Down" and "Born to be Wild" if you haven't already. ...I'm still catchin up here!
"Video Killed the Radio" star is another stand out from this competition!
There are jokes about Video Killed the Radio Star being the one where their competition said "We have to watch out for them"; Let's Get It On being the performance where their competition said "They could win this thing"; and Dog Days are Over being the one where their competition said "Well, second isn't bad."
PTX...JOLENE is the collab never knew i needed
Mitch, Kirstie, and Scott were only 19 years old in the Sing Off, and Kevin and Avi only a couple of years older. These were their first performances ever as a group. Amazing!
Hey mate 👋 Wow this is a throwback! This takes me way back to 2013 when I listened to their cover of Radioactive and fell down the rabbit hole 😃
My Favorite sing off performance is #7, born to be wild. With you being a self-proclamed metalhead, I think you'd like it being that's the song that coined the phrase "heavy metal."
Ok, you are ready for "aha from star vista Singapore". Also amazing grace is incredible.
I love this one! You should totally watch all their performances! Great reaction! They performed a wide variety of styles since each week had a theme.
Avi did overtone singing right at the first time the beat started to get faster, and everyone misses that. This one they didn't pick, the judges picked it for them. You really should have watched all their Sing Off Episodes from 1 through 12 or something to get a feel of it. Yes, all A Cappella in Season 3, but PTX was one of the smallest groups on the show. Mitch nailed it and the set up to let him do so was fabulous. They all nailed it actually. This is one of my 2 favorites from the show. The other was Episode 7 - Born to be Wild.
If you really want to watch them grow... and how quickly.... watch all their Sing Off performances from start to finish with the judges reactions! They amazed even though Avi and Kevin just came on board
Ben, Sarah and Sean... the original Pentaholics... along with the rest of us that watched them from the beginning.
If you want to hear another group performance from this SIGNOFF look up Home Free RING OF FIRE.
You have to do their 4th performance of “Video Killed the Radio Star.” It’s my fav next to their 1st performance of ET, which is the one that initially blew everyone away.
You definitely need to watch the rest of their performances and you should watch the ones with the judges comments because some of the comments from the judges are really funny and it’s also where Kevin and Avi get one of their most famous nicknames.
No groups of all sizes. They happened to be smallest of that season and they had a great performance. It would be cool for you to see all their performances on that show . the came out in season 3
No, I believe PTX was one of, if not THE smallest groups (there might have been 1 or 2 groups of 4 on this season, I can't remember), but some groups like the Princeton Footnotes were 10+ members. P.S. The Princeton Footnotes did a truly awesome Queen medley on the show. And then there was also Delilah's "Grenade" - all female group but still had amazingly deep notes at times. Check them out!
omg you should totally react to the group Street Corner Symphony from that same season of Sing Off. They were low key my fav group from that season.
I was flipping through channels when I came across one of the opening numbers of the Sing Off Season 3. 8 of the 16 participating choirs, or vocal groups, were opening the show with “Sing” (a must see). Now I’m a vocal coach and don’t usually enjoy singing competition shows but this one... I almost fell off my couch. I was so impressed with the variety and quality of participants, in style, group sizes and most of all ages. I really loved one group, North Shore (I think), olden gentlemen who had been performing professionally already for a few years and were more traditional in the shoo whop style. You have to look at their performance of Bruno Mars, the Lazy Song! They were so much fun! They got eliminated, I think after 3 or 4 weeks but everybody loved them.
Pentatonix was easy to spot from the beginning with its members individual immense talent, even though Scott was often fronting, and their versatility, super clever arrangements and performing charisma. It was a great show, a great season, great participants. It made history as far as I am concerned. 🤗
PTX was one of the smaller groups on the show. Please do all the sing-off performances. My fav was Video Killed The Radio Star cuz it was like the first time we heard them make themselves skip.
And to think Mitch, Scott and Kirstie were 19 and Avi and Kevin were 21. LEDGENDS.
It’s crazy because they legit thought they would go home that week. Scott had lost his voice that week and their rehearsal went terrible. Hence the emotional performance. Scott’s voice actually goes out at the end of this last note.
They were so young! Kevin was 23; Avi was 22; Scott was 20; and Kirstie and Mitch were 19...
If you like your rock, you’ll enjoy Pentatonix’s ‘Born to be wild’ off the Sing Off, the effects on that one are cool
one of my absolute favourites. What's really interesting is they had terrible luck during the time just before this performance - Scott was sick, their rehearsal went awful, they felt like they rushed the arrangement... but it worked out so well, it's definitely a high point even now.
Love your shirt. I saw them in 2006 and I saw pentatonic 2 years ago and they were amazing. New to the channel
I love your style. Now you have a new fan from Finland💟
Thanks for this 👍 This one is definitely my favorite of the sing off performances. The fact that the show put so many restrictions on them... specifically Mitch and his higher voice and yet they still killed it, is amazing to me. They come back the following season to sing on the finale, I Need Your love, if you want to see growth and their kind of FU to the show lol.
The show was all acapella but generally the groups that had such good percussion and base sounds were much larger groups with a full team working on just those sounds. It was consistantly brought up during their run on the show how good they sounded with such a small group. I think Dog Days, Video killed the radio star and Born to be Wild were my favorites of them on the show. they really killed it each time.
You should listen to their "let's get it on " and "heavy metal thunder" from the sing off. Sooooo crazy 😜
