loved doing a pt 2 tbh so lmk if you want a part 3 or something I don’t even know what’s left lmao could watch the whole movie
PLEASE REACT TO "LOREEN - TATTOO"! SHE IS THE QUEEN OF MUSIC IN EUROVISION! LOREEN IS AMAZING!!! 😍🔥💕
yhh pls part 3
Yes definitely a part 3!
Yes please!! Watch the whole movie I love them!
please watch the movies! all of them. they're all insane
“I expected the Bellas to win (the riff off) because it’s a pitch perfect movie.”
People who have seen the movies: *snorting with laughter*
heh i guess seeing out of order and context makes that a bit weirder.... its a running gag in the films XD
that's the exact reason why they don't win actually 😂
My exact thought! 😅
As other people have noted, YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO DAS SOUND MACHINES SONGS 😭😭😭 they're so good and make me wanna cry out of pure joy from how ASTOUNDING they sound. PLEASE make a part 3 for them 😭😭
YESSS they make me feel like i'm at a live concert and you get that "wow" feeling like your mesmerized
YESSSS MORE DAS SOUND MACHINE
I keep going back to the Das Sound Machine car show video. Incredible!
I was watching on my TV and had to pull out my phone just to say gotta listen to Das Sound Machine at the car show. Best performance of any Pitch Perfect movie in my opinion.
You have tooooo!!! They are so good and leave me sexually confused 😂
some of the performances in the pitch perfect movies literally make me cry JUST BECAUSE of how incredible it is. when art is so good that it brings tears to your eyes???? wow. wow.
I literally cried watching the generations of Bellas come out ON THIS VIDEO lmao
@@asterierrantry LITERALLY SAME I HAD TO WIPE AWAY TEARS LMAOO
i cry every time the generations of bellas start singing 😭
What gets me is when they genuinely look like they're having a good time. Watching people do what they love always makes me emotional.
literally me in the train right now
5:45 yes that’s the point! You’re supposed to enjoy the final performance of the Bellas more than the Treblemakers’, cause it was the first time the girls changed their act to something fun and they were actually happy performing!
If you end up watching the first two movies, you might notice that the Bellas take all the songs that were sung through out the movies and mix them together in the final performance.
And then add Jessie J to it
Just to give some clarity, when an Acapella group is as large as the Treblemakers are, not everyone needs to be singing at the same time.
Additionally, most larger acapella groups have one or two, maybe three, main/lead vocals with the others making up the voices that create the various instruments and the percussions and bass lines.
Not all acapella songs require full blown singing harmonies with everyone involved and that’s actually one of the main differences from generic boy/girl groups where all the members have some line at some point in a song.
Beatboxers/percussion and bass line singers rarely have solos but they are the literal backbone to the group
yes it's also good to point out that the fact that not all of them have mics is on purpose. The mics are only to make sure that the soloist is heard, as the rest of the group are singing out and should mainly be heard without the mics due to the acoustics and set up of the space
Mathew not knowing who John Mayer is gave me an odd feeling of joy and I don't know why
I didn't know him either until Taylor
@@_g.nazym_ same, I'd only heard of him in Pitch Perfect before
I’ve seen the movie and/or reactions to it a dozen times, and I still have no idea who he is.
@@phueal he's a musician that dated Taylor Swift once when she was 19 and he was around 30 so Swifties hate him, that's about all I know. Also apparently he has a song called "why you no love me" which isn't important, I just think it's funny
@@liaistotallyfine 😂
Two quick things:
- Those enormous guys who sang Bootylicious are the actual Green Bay Packers!
- The team with the letterman cardigans are all made up from comedy TV stars: Joe Lo Truglio from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Donald Faison from Scrubs, Jason Jones and John Hodgman from The Daily Show, and Reggie Watts from The Late Late Show.
Additional note about your first point as I'm not sure Matthew knows - the Green Bay Packers are an American football team. The team loved the first Pitch Perfect movie so much that they put in the time and effort to practice the music and were brought in for this special cameo in the second movie!
Donald Faison is not in this movie, he was in the first movie.
personally, the riff off in pitch perfect 3 with ruby rose singing zombies completely altered my brain chemistry (especially when Wake Me Up and Grenade was added)
The way you said "Bring it on Broadway boy" to Ben Platt felt so derogatory and I loved it
PLEASE watch the pitch perfect movies 😭😭😭 they’re so good and emotional and will fill you with nothing but fun and straight love for the characters
when you talked about them being expert at mixing the songs you literally nailed the point of the movie(s)!!! the story is mostly about how becca changed the accapela scene by mixing songs for the bellas and they're all very good!!!
if you end up doing more pitch perfect videos i do recommend the campfire song and the bootcamp one from the second movie, they're very nice and the second is also fun to watch the video!
Also fun fact for the long riff off, the jelly song guys are the greenbay packers I believe! They like begged to be in the second movie and said they'd learn songs and dace for it
Just for the people who didn’t know who the Green bay Packers are (american football isn’t really a think outside of the US):
„The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the National Football Conference (NFC) North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919.“
We would love a part 3 all the songs are astounding
The just the way you are song gives chills because it's SUPPOSED to. In the film, at that point, their group completely fell apart. For lots of reasons but a huge part was creative difference- the blonde refused to let anyone have creative say. And so this was the moment when she let go, let Anna take over for a trial, and when she comes in with a new song, it's literally one of the moments the whole film has built to because it's the official moment that she gives in and realizes how powerful something different than her own way is. (Ie each of the bellas and their idnividual dreams are just as beautiful just the way they are)
Mathew should definitely listen to songs from the lightning thief musical!
Omg yes
Spread the word@@enchanted_inventory882
Definitely!!!!!
Spread the word pjo fans!@@val5636
Omg, he would love those songs for sure!
You might enjoy checking out some of the popular real-life acapella groups, like Pentatonix, Home Free, and VoicePlay. Pentatonix actually has a small cameo towards the end of Pitch Perfect 2 as the team from Canada.
I second this. Maytree is also really good.
PTX being the Canadian team is just ironic because they're originally from Texas
Lol. The entire tone of the Pitch Perfect 2 riff off is a parody vibe. They're totally poking fun at the first movie and the individual characters while still being awesome. And the Green Bay Packers (famous american football players) ASKED to be in the movie because they liked the first one so much lol. So their role was comedic on purpose.
And Bumper (Adam Devine's character) left the last movie to sing back up for John Mayer and skipped out on the final, so that was a deliberate call back haha. John Mayer is a famous singer-song writer, but arguably more famous for dating like EVERY young female celebrity around for quite awhile.
The "original" song they sing in the movie is Flashlight by Jessie J, they actually do a couple of Jessie J songs like Price Tag. But in the context of the movie Emily (Hailey Steinfeld) writes this song and when she was put on the spot during the riff off her brain broke for a second and she just defaulted to the first song she could think of.
And on another note, I agree, I would give anything for a Bellas/Anna Kendrick cover of Before He Cheats.
Ahhh I'm so happy that you chose to do the Riff Off in Pitch Perfect 2!!!! Genuinely was addicted to that part since I was a child. But I won't lie, I did cringe at the same parts you did as well. Really brings back memories!!!!! 😅
There’s a *bunch* of great performances in Pitch Perfect 3 you haven’t watched yet. Definitely enough for a Part 3 :)
“I can’t wait to hear Vi sing.” You did actually. She literally sang the final notes of the Flashlight song you did right before the riff off. That was Hailee.
I definitely recommend the Das Sound Machine songs from PP2, as well as Back to Basics from the same movie. And then throw in The Cup Song from PP1, and PP2.
Alright, here we go. Time to recommend the RWBY (pronounced Ruby) soundtrack, starting with Volume 1. Once again because they’re bangers. Lyric vids recommended.
V1 Soundtrack:
- Red Like Roses - Lyric video by Autumn-22
- Mirror Mirror - Lyric video by Autumn-22
- From Shadows (full version) - Lyric video by FlyntofRwby
- I Burn (full version) - Lyric video by Jacob Vega
- This Will Be the Day - Lyric video by FlyntofRwby
- Gold - Lyric video by Smol Cinnamon Roll
- I May Fall (Full version) - Lyric video by Koiyoko Chan
- Red Like Roses II - Lyric video by FlyntofRwby
- Wings - Lyric video by Griffball25
Omg yes absolutely reach to RWBY. The main singers are father and daughter, Jeff Williams and Casey Lee Williams, and she was only 12 during the first season!!
Right we need part 3, and you NEED! to see Das Sound Machine do Victorious. That in my opinion is like the best number in the entire trilogy!
Ok but DSM preformances are actually SO freaking cool
The harmonies in Victorious are just magic
this this this. one of my favorite performances from the movies
Uprising by Muse but yes!
"who the hell is john mayer" oh I wish I could forget who that is
I think you'd love Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. A silly premise but a great show. Some fun (and sad) songs with silly choreography and great singing. Skylar plays a character in the show and we get some more of his lovely singing.
Freedom 90' is such an underrated cover of Anna Kendrick. Her high notes and riffs and runs man. I cant even.
Just so you’re aware, the first ‘Country Love’ song that was sung is called ‘Live Like You Were Dying’ by Tim McGraw
It feels so surreal hearing you critique the first song as if it was an original and not a cover of "Magic" by B.O.B.
The flashlight song always hit me because I remember seeing it in theaters and this whole series was an integral part of my childhood!!
The Green Bay Packers love the first movie so much that the producers offered them a small spot in the second one
If you like the "leader" of The Treblemakers you should listen to songs from Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist because he's in a lot of them as one of the main love interests
You DEFINITELY have to react to the Das Sound Machine Car Show performance specifically - like all of them are good, cause they're meant to be the antagonists of the second movie but if you're looking for performances that give you goosebumps... the start of that performance for sure
The team at around 8:00 is the Green Bay packers. They’re actually players from the real professional sports team. They just happen to know how to sing and for some reason were wanted in this movie😂
I agree the Bella’s Just The Way You Are x Just A Dream mashup gives me chills! It’s so beautiful in its simplicity and has always been my sleeper favorite. I could only dream of a longer version.
Also yessss Donald’s bars during the Treblemakers finale are fire 🔥
Das Sound Machine are epic, the male lead, Flula Borg you will see popping up in some american shows as some rather eccentric German comedic character, but actually done quite nicely :P He plays "Skiptracer Randy" in the rookie for instance and whenever he pops up for an episode you know its getting weird in the best of ways XD
Skyler Astin ("lead singer" for the Treblemakers) was on a show called Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. HIGHLY recommend checking out some of the performances from that show.
Isn't he a Broadway actor/singer ? That's why he is so good
you NEEEED to watch all the Das Sound Machine songs in pt 3!!!! they’re AMAZING and i think you’d LOVE them
Actually, I think you were right about it being the cup song or at least they wanted to pay homage to it in that way
Finally! Someone reacted to the Just The Way You Are/Just A Dream mashup. I adore that and I have definitely listened to it over and over again. It's by far my favorite song from the pitch perfect movies.
Matthew, would you ever consider reacting to songs from Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief Musical?
The flashlight performance of pitch perfect 2 makes me BAWL every time. Like without fail when the generations come on stage I curl up and cry.
16:00 HE WATCHES BROOKLYNN 99!!!!!!! OMG YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY I WAS
I am lightheaded now from freaking out with happiness, I have to go lie down now.
Pitch perfect is my roman empire 😍
"So i guess whoever John Mayer is, Taylor Swift dated him" LMAO
Flashlight - the original song in the PP2 Acapella Championships - is actually a song sung by Jessie J, but I believe it was for the movie and Jessie's version is featured on the soundtrack :)
that's why you have to see the whole movies, all the cringe is very much intentional 😂😂
I have watched the Pitch Perfect movies at least 10 times but I just love seeing other peoples reactions to the movies, they are perfection.
"flashlight" always makes me so emotional, I cried into my toast
I love Das Soundmachine ❤️
So excited you did another Pitch Perfect video (and hoping for a third 👀), but...outside of these movies you should also check out songs from the TV show Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Don't let the title put you off, it's an incredible show and while you should also just...watch the whole thing, I think just starting off with listening to some songs would be incredible. Just some absolute bangers. And some...that are also wild in and out of context, but still slap. There are a lot of great ones so I'll just list a few of my personal faves (warning some of these titles are...well you'll see): You Stupid B*tch, Getting Bi', Face Your Fears, Let's Have Intercourse, I Gave You A UTI, I'm A Good Person, A Boy Band Made Up of Four Joshes, (if you wanna see more of the lead guy from the Treblemakers Skylar Astin HE has a great song) I Hate Everything But You, and I'll end it with Women Gotta Stick Together. I could honestly go on and on and on...and that's certainly more than you'd do in a single video but y'know...could do many!
Seconded! I would add one of my personal favourite songs from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, "I'm so good at yoga"
I was not prepared for him to google who John Mayer is mid video 🤣
When you said “I don’t know how to say this lightly” I wasn’t sure what you were gonna say but I was for sure not expecting bonkers 😂😂😂
The Bella’s remix of just the way you are is actually my favorite pitch perfect performance. The harmonies are so incredible the mix is good
please watch the movies! The experience makes it so much better then just listening to the songs!
You’re right the remix is just sooo beautiful
PLEASEEE REACT TO THE FIRST SONG IN PITCH PERFECT 2!! Not only is it INCREDIBLY catchy but it had a really fun end :]]
the whole first movie is such a cultural staple for me ugh id love to see you do it
Fun fact, the guys in the riff off with their butts in the camera are real players in the greenbay packers which is an American football team in the NFL
Maybe some Glee's songs?
I really think our ears and musical taste sometimes has a preference! There are male singers I really love, but on a whole, I definitely have a preference towards female vocals. There's obviously exceptions, and a few ranges between, but all of my favorite vocalists are women. My sister is the opposite and really always prefers male vocalists. Weird how stuff like that happens! I love the Trebelmakers, but I'm with you - I just enjoy the Bellas more. Not because they are necessarily better, just my internal bias at work!
I feel this but the opposite way haha! I prefer male singers and a couple of my favorite female singers have deep voices (for females).
For me, it’s pretty balanced. Like, (and these are all theatre singers for the most part) I love Aaron Tveit and Jeremy Jordan, but I also love singers like Laura Osnes and Ciara Renee. Personally, if music has harmonies, I’m immediately hooked.
I always cry with the championship performance AHAAHHAHAHAHA
Detective Boyle retired after Nikolaj got older to fully take care of him, but his love for Broadway brought him here
1. I appreciate your appreciation for a capella Boyle lol
2. The muscle boys were there just for funsies because the blonde guy was a huge fan of Pitch Perfect
3. Never in my life have I met someone who doesn't know who John Mayer is, and a Swiftie I don't know if to be glad about it 😂
honestly there are probably a lot of us across the pond and disinterested in celebs who all went who is that xD, but i agree with point 1... Boyle singing acapella... i mean it fits what i expect him to do... and in exactly that awkward a group XD
I always get chills and happy everytime I rewatched pitch perfect. I love that even without the plot of the movie you’re moved by the performance the same way we are
YESSSS OKG PITCH PERFECT IS LIFE🗣️🔥🔥🔥
NGL, I don’t have leg hair, but when the Bellas started “Flashlight,” the hair on my arms and neck rose up.
The song is amazing. I would actually, literally kill not to have that happen again.
It is actually sad how much I cry every time I watch their remix to "Just the way you are" and Pitch Perfect 2 and 3's finale, I just cried by watching them through Mathew, like my pillow is actually wet 😭
omg finally a 2nd pitch perfect song reaction i was trying to find these
One more video, you need to do the Das Sound Machine songs!
I would love to see you react to the movies, but also I think there's still enough songs for a part 3, I recommend Freedom!, Toxic and and any song from Das sound machine
so glad you are doing these, I really feel like pitch perfect was a cultural phenomenon
the one performance where anna kendrick sings cheap thrills is my favorite out of all the movies!
please do more of julie and the phantoms
The riff off with the Green Bay Packers is my favourite haha
It's a German accent (and I'm not sure about the other people in that group, but at least for the lead guy that's his real accent. He's DJ Flula, started out as a youtuber. He's doing pretty well for himself, considering he's been in some pretty successful movies, he was also in The Suicide Squad)
Also, checked and noticed you haven't done any Pentatonix reactions. Not sure if that's because you've already seen their stuff or not. Just mentioning because you said something about a capella and original songs, and Pentatonix have some really fantastic OGs, I especially recomment Love Again
The guys with the accent are german and called Das Sound Machine 👍
I just finished watching the Pitch Perfect trilogy for the fifth time this morning, so this video came out at the perfect time. Loved it as always!
Now to watch the movie!!
The one song where the generations of Bellas come in at the end, makes me fucking cry every time. Just the beginning with the now, the Bellas the ones now active and at the forefront. Capturing the moment, the now, the present, the harmonies and then the past coming in with the generations of Bellas, harmonizing together like a big family, like history on your screen, lives, loss, community and unity. All singing the song of the new generation of Bella, and to make that the point closing the light on everyone but her, the youngest, newest, the future. God fucking dammit I'm crying again. I won't rant about why this gets me so hard as that would be too much. But holy fuck that song get me every damn time, like I will ugly cry to this song because they made it so perfect.
the flashlight performance makes me tear up everytime i watch it haha
flashlight is a song by jessi j, so not actually an original by the bellas but in the movie hailee steinfelds character writes it
It is so fun to just genuinely hang out with you and listen to these vids. It's such a strange para-social dynamic, but it feels like hanging out with just a really wonderful friend. life is strange in this modern day, lol. Half the people I "hang out with" don't even actually know me 😂
I love das sound machine 😭
How 'bout you with the eyes?
Is one of my favorite lyrics
18:41 these guys are from the USA National Football League, from the Green Bay Packers of Wisconsin. As someone from Wisconsin, they killed it😂
We need more!!!! Especially the shower scene and the PP3 toxic cover and finale!!!
The head of music for the first film and two Bellas (in all the movies) are acapella veterans. The only people who need microphones on stage are anyone singing lead, percussion, and sometimes solo instruments or bass lines. The stage itself is mic'd.
Just having a full stroke during the performances lol 😂 😂 Just found your channel and I’m a fan handsome
"Who's John Mayer?!"
*Immediately cries in old*
Mat, I’d highly recommend watching Black Friday, or at least listening to some of the songs! It’s made by Team Starkid and set in the same place as The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals but in a different timeline. There’s also a third Hatchetfield musical that came out recently you can watch after!
Loved this video amazing a part 3 would be great ♥️
Would honestly love to just see you react to the movies! Genuinely!
The just the way you are remix tickles your brain big time!!!
PLEASE- Listen to Pitch Perfect 3 the song Toxic, I am absolutely begging you to listen to it! 😭
I FORGOT HES NOT AMERICAN AND WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO TALK ABOUT THE GREEN BAY PACKERS 😭😭😭 (I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t already watched Pitch Perfect 7 times)
I dont know if other people have suggested this, but it would be amazing if you reacted to hozier if you dont already know his songs! His lyrics, vocals, production are all amazing. Im currently fixating on his newest album, i would recommend "anything but," "first time," and "eat your young," as those are my favorites personally, but his other albums are also amazing. Love your content💙
Fun fact : Anna Kendrick got her Tony nomination when she was 12 years old !!!
Das Sound Machine is a german accapella Group (from the last video)
Part three! 🤘🤘🤘
If you want to hear more of the redhead (Aubrey, played by Anna Kamp), check out the Titanium scene from the 1st movie.
The red head is actually chloe! Played by brittany snow ❤
