    There’s a live private performance of this where they are just standing together in a room with a small audience and no mic and it really shows how there’s very little effects put on their work. It sounds great. Pretty much all just their talent. And Kevin beatboxes for 5 mins straight. How, I don’t know. Especially when He does it for a whole live concerts and that’s even longer.

    Kevin is an insanely talented beat boxer but he is soooo much more. He is also a classically trained cellist, plays piano/keyboard, used(?) to play the sax extremely well, has a degree from Yale in pre-med and Asian studies, speaks five languages including flawless Mandarin Chinese, writes and produces music and "invented" the genre cello-boxing which combines playing the cello and beat boxing along with it. He was preparing for med school when Scott found a UA-cam video of his cello boxing and essentially had to beg him to come to LA to try out with PTX for the Sing-Off competition. All five of them first met the day before the audition and the rest is history.

    Run to You is an original by Pentatonix. It is powerful, devastating, and utterly beautiful. Avi and Kevin brought a first draft to the rest of the group and together they finished and arranged it. The video is set outside in the snow. During the chorus (if I remember correctly), the snow appears to rise rather than fall. I read in a comment that the group learned to appear to sing the chorus backwards so that it would appear when run in reverse as though they were singing normally while the snow seems to rise. I hope all of this is true. This is one of my favorite songs and videos of theirs.

Their Beyonce medley and Empire medley are great. The broadway musical Wicked told the prestory to the Wizard of Oz. Scott and Mitch sing together in Defying Gravity from that show.

Also to hear more of Scott using his bass voice check out their cover of Sound of Silence, and it's got the new bass Matt in it.

      I really dislike "The Promise" - it's such a cheesy old lady's song, at least sound-wise. Reminds me of German "Schlager" too much. Imaginary Parties and Guy.exe are awesome, though, but not for everyone, I guess. My more conservative friends find them too campy.

    Headphones is a must when listening to PTX and A Capella in general. Great reactions none the less.
    Seemed like you missed Avi's deep notes this time, which always happens when you dont have Headphones on. I mean you didn't seem to notice the low voice in Avi and Kevin's solo. Try to hear it again with headphones on and see if you notice a difference + see if you get a new reaction which is what you and we want as a reactors.
    Unless you can compensate with a high quality sound system that can give the same or better experience where nothing is lost of course ;P. Also it only cost them 400$ to make this video at home in a kitchen and closet using a smoke machine, the make up, eyes and talents.

    Also, yes, Avi leaving was a bummer. We miss him but we also love the new bass, Matt, and he fits in well for sure! Their “Evolution of Rihanna” is one of my favorites and it is a good example of Matt’s talents.
    Finally, check out Avi’s solo work. I suggest “Change on the Rise”.

    So, Kyle, welcome to Pentatonix world!!
    PTX made a huge splash in 2011 on the A Capella singing competition show "Sing Off." All of those performances are on UA-cam so go dig them up and binge watch them...You will NOT regret it!
    This group does all of their own arranging. They use no electronic effects (other than maybe a little reverb...) for their recordings and post-mix efforts. No auto-tune, bass box, electronic kit - nothing. Everything they do is pure body and voice produced. This particular recording is what won them their 1st Grammy. The story goes they recorded the audio in their apartment's closet and all the video was done in the kitchen with stuff bought at Home Depot/Lowes. Total cost to make this vid was something like $150. I haven't seen them live but would love the chance some day!
    As for your editing - you're not doing bad. Honest!! I would recommend ALWAYS using headphones so you don't get the speakers feeding back and creating an echo effect though. Also, good headphones make PTX sound AMAZING!! (Even cheap ones do!!)
    Next up, you need to listen to some Home Free, then Voice Play and a little Voctave. They're all A Capella groups that are making it in the modern music industry!

    Subscribed. I watched the first three reaction and you are so good at this!
    I'm sure you have so many recommendations already, but if you want to hear the new guy, definitely check out The Sound of Silence. It's really up there with Hallelujah and it shows off the new bass as well as Scott on the bass.
    Their new bass' name is Matt Sallee and he's wonderful. He really fits with the group not just vocally but also with his personality. He's been with them for two years now.
    He's a different kind of bass than Avi, obviously. It would be almost impossible to find another Avi. Matt is a baritone with his register extending pretty low and the group is taking advantage of that. His bass is also on a softer side, which however fits for the sound they are going for now.
    I hope you keep this up, I really love your style of reacting.

  • @SparkleKnits
    @SparkleKnits 4 роки тому +5

    You need to watch their live stuff. A lot of people don’t believe they’re actually legit until they see them live. To hear the new guy you can watch “Making Christmas”. It’s one of my kids’ favorites, along with “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “God Rest You Merry Gentlemen”
    Also, Avi is my boy and he has a few videos out which you would probably enjoy, especially “Change on the Rise”. It’s a very different sound but shows so much of his range and abilities.
