Great reaction and analysis to a fantastic Pentatonix piece! Not sure if you knew this already, but this song and arrangement earned them their second Grammy Award win for "Best arrangement, instrumental or A Capella."
I truly love this group. Each one of them are talented enough to “ lead” but instead they all work together. They each have a claim to fame, but there’s no out of control egos in this bunch of amazing artists. I am awed by their ethics, doing what’s best for the music and the group. Just a fabulous bunch of people as well as extremely talented artists!
Pentatonix's audio editor is Ed Boyer, and he is as much of a genius at what he does as #Pentatonix is at what they do. He's a large part of the reason the balance is always right.
Appreciating your viewpoints toward what makes this arrangement work, and how respectful you are of the artistry
It's my understanding that Avi brought the piece to Ben Bram (PTX's longtime producer/arranger) and that the two of them did the basic arrangement. Avi really put his college major of opera (bass/basso profundo) and classical voice to work in this one, and as has already been said, they won their 2nd Grammy for this. Here's Ben Bram accepting the award: ua-cam.com/video/vF0Hla9ai5I/v-deo.html
Actually Kevin and Avi were talking about it and then brought it to Bram. As roommates they discussed a lot of different ideas. A lot of good info about PTX can be found by googling Kevin's interviews. At the time a lot of Christian magazines interviewed Kevin by himself. I don't remember which it was but I will try to find it.
🤩Your excitement got me excited....And I've seen this SO MANY times through the years! 🤩 They won their second Grammy for this arrangement.
something I've always said about Pentatonix in the context of other acapella groups is in how they arrange their pieces.
to put it briefly, while other groups tend to make the pieces work for them and spotlight or showcase their amazing vocalists, Pentatonix tends to do it the other way around, making their voices work for the piece. Rarely do they ever showcase or spotlight - it may be inevitable in some pieces with solo singing or when it comes to high and low notes, but it never seems to be the point. it's always about how their voices work with the piece, rather than how the piece can showcase their voices.
you'll never hear a whistle note despite the fact that I'm pretty certain both kirsten and mitch can do them, and you'll never hear a subharmonic despite the fact that I'm pretty certain both avi and matt can do them.
Nicely said! Yes, both Mitch and Kirstie can do awesome whistle notes...even a whole lyric line in one...there a video of both of them having a little competition out there somewhere. I do know Avi can do overtones, but I'm not sure about Matt being able. I could be wrong about Matt capabilities, though.
@@GwenneddIn this interview, the trio and Kevin demonstrate that they also know how to do overtone singing: ua-cam.com/video/FKm5zNC-maE/v-deo.html (the question about overtone singing begins at 17:11, but the whole interview is worth watching). If Matt wants to do overtone singing, he has four people who can teach him. It isn't hard. I found a UA-cam tutorial and even I can do it, and my voice is nowhere close to Pentatonix quality. You can find the tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/w42DQoZ-z_c/v-deo.html
As for whistle notes, Mitch has admitted that he does them wrong. They're supposed to be on an out-breath, but Mitch does them on the in-breath. I don't understand anything about whistle notes, but apparently it's easier to do them on an in-breath, but it can also damage your voice. There's another video I saw that had all current members of Pentatonix attempting whistle notes and only Kirstin got them right. I was somewhat surprised that Kevin didn't do better.
Thank you for articulating so clearly what I've been trying to say for years. So many superfans of Home Free and Voiceplay always say how much better those groups are because they have the super awesome basses that can go so low. But just because you can, doesn't mean it's appropriate for the song - I find it used like a gimmick with little regard for placement. It should be used as a tool to accentuate a particular section, not be the focus.
Another great instrumental piece they’ve done is their live starwars tribute at the AMA’s. It’s fantastic. Great review.
I watch a lot of reaction videos and yours is one of the best that I've ever watched because you really know what they are doing and can explain it for us non-professionals while showing us as well. Thank you!
Great reaction! I'm sure you would enjoy "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy REIMAGINED." A live performance of Kevin celloboxing and Matt on drums. It's outstanding!
Damn dude, your reactions have an insane amount of energy. They’re really f’n good man.
"Just feel like a was punched in the face by wind." Very nice description! I feel like Kevin has punched me in the face by wind wa-a-a-ay too many times, but still I can't get enough.
You mentioned Avi’s base not being really low, but low enough to serve the music. Reactors tend to forget that PTX is a touring pop group. They all have to maintain their voices almost all year long. Bases in particular don’t always have the ability to hit super low notes on a daily basis. PTX arranges their music very intelligently so that it can be performed live as well as it’s performed on video. Loved your reaction!🩷
Thanks for the reaction and analysis.
Avi has the clearest sounding low notes I've ever heard. Most low bass sounds are gritty or rumbley.
Great reaction! Nice to see a reactor who's in the business reacting to my fave a capella group. I do hope you explore more of their work. Subb'd for more PTX!
I think Pentatonix could pull this off. And they did. So did the National Academy of Recording Arts & Science. Pentatonix received their second Grammy for this arrangement. Thanks for your insight. It is enjoyable to watch your reactions.
Subbed for more PTX! Great reaction!
Thank you for your knowledgable commentary. Loved it and subscribed for more. ---- and great voice also.
You should also check out their cover of Waltz of The Flowers! It is a "yule log" video, but it sounds amazing!
I’m really enjoying your reactions. I love your knowledge and sometimes demonstration.
Recommend their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Wait for it...
I suggest you check out Avi and Peter Hollens' version of Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair.
SOOOOO Beautiful!!!!!! Please react to this one!!!!
seconded for sure, its a truly great piece of music
I second that. It's masterpiece!
Thanks for your reaction. Hope you do more PTX reactions.
I just subbed. Loved your analysis. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
I really like how you play the whole song through and then go back to the beginning and evaluate. I'd love to hear you do a reaction on Emma Kok with Andre Rieu, Voila. Listen to the intro Andre does to get an understanding of this beautiful singer. Voila came in 2nd in the Eurovision competition this yr. although it wasn't Emma who sang it there.
Hi, Loved your reaction - love Pentatonix also a fan of Voctave, worth checking out.
Благодарю Вас за реакцию!❤ так замечательно чувствовать такую захваченность музыкой, я очень понимаю это и мне это очень импонирует в Ваших реакциях! Я обожаю Пентатоникс и музыку в целом, так замечательно вместе с вами вновь глубоко, как в первый раз, пережить это! 🔥🔥🔥
Subbed for more PTX reactions.
