Watch the original music video if you don't want pausing. Kyle's actually pointing out super cool things not everyone might catch and I'm really enjoying it.
@@cherylholtom9455 Well when he first started making these he had no idea who PTX was and I think it started out with his voicing realistic concerns about whether he would like acapella, since it's not in his forte, and whether they could do justice to something like Daft Punk for example. And if you don't know PTX that is perfectly reasonable. And it has progressed i think to the point that it's a sort of a trademark (as my comment notes), he says it in every video and I think we know at this point he knows them so well he doesn't really have concerns...
If anyone ever questioned whether Scott could back up the bass when either Avi or Matt took the lead, that was answered in the first five seconds of this song. Glad to see you back. Your reactions have always been my favorite. There are so many new songs for you to react to. Pentatonix has been prolific even during the pandemic. I’ll be annoying and offer some suggestions, as if everyone else wasn’t doing the same. Blinding Lights - A The Weekend cover that highlights Kevin’s talents that just brightens my day. This was recorded from their individual homes and the video editing is brilliant. Papaoutai - A cover of French singer Stromae that’s done in French. Lindsey Stirling collaborates on this as well as Kevin’s cello. Scott carries the weight with the lyrics and you don’t have to know French to enjoy this extremely clever video. You’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch - as the holidays approach, this features Matt and he owns it. Can You Feel The Love Tonight - This cover of the song from The Lion King is beautiful both visually and artistically. There are a lot more but this is enough for now. Again welcome back. You’ve been missed.
I looooved how you were going on about how strong Kirsten sounded even before her incredible solo verse XD you did NOT know what you were in for. Also you *noticed Mitch* hitting those crazy high notes in the background of her solo!!! NO OTHER REACTOR I've seen yet paid any special attention to that, but I am always floored by it!!
I love how Kirstie steps up and *owns* her mezzo range in this number. She's not some squeaky soprano or a chirpy-voiced pop diva. This lady has some serious *pipes* and she takes that key change and really lets loose here.
Said a prayer for you, friend. Thanks for mentioning Matt. He had such huge shoes to fill but instead of filling Avi’s shoes he made his own place in the group. His youth, energy, joy, and love for Pentatonix make him the perfect man for the job. He didn’t replace Avi, he joined the group and has made it so good!! It’s always hard to see a beloved member of a group leave but why blame it on the “new guy” (who’s been there for years now)? It’s not Avi vs. Matt. It was Avi and now it’s Matt. Poor guy! He doesn’t deserve all that heat!
I've been listening to a lot of Pentatonix reaction videos, but yours are awesome. Came late to the party but I've watched every video you've done in one day. Awesome job I love your videos.
I love the stopping and commenting to get your take on each amazing voice and transition. This IS a "reaction video " after all. How boring to watch you watch the video WITHOUT commenting! If it bothers people, they can watch the video without pausing on You Tube themselves! Keep up the good work. I love watching others hear what I hear. AMAZINGNESS!
Avi is classically trained Basso perfundo? On the AhHa you tube he practically blew out the sound system...no one is Better he is Avid and Matt is Matt.. Both just great!
The difference in u pausing and others is ur pauses are teaching. They aren't gratuitous. You are literally teaching us when you pause. Please don't apologize when ur really feeling something.
Agreed. I hate when reactors stop to tell me a song was played at a party or their graduation or they sang it in choir...Good for you, I’ll probably never meet you. I want to hear what you think about THIS song.
Thank you so much for pointing out Mitch’s high harmony! I have never seen a reactor mention it and it’s so incredible! It doesn’t deserve to get swept under the rug and I’m so glad you pointed it out.
Keep pausing! If we wanted to hear the video uninterrupted we could watch the original. You have great observations and insights that I've never picked up on before.
As to the Avi/Matt, they bring so many different things to the group. I was a die hard Avi fan, and was not thrilled at first with Matt coming in the group....until I heard him sing. That voice is like velvet! Soooo good!
Dude, you have no idea how much I smiled when I saw you were back with a reaction. My concerns are gone as you say. There aren't many reactors that point out the genius move they made in supporting Matt with the higher notes while he maintained a lower octave at the end of that verse where you would expect him to go high like the others did. Welcome back and thanks for another great reaction. See you on the next one. 😊
Kyle I’ve been a fan of Pentatonix for ages. I’ve seen them in concert. I’m loving your videos and your reactions to their music. But this is my all-time favourite. Your reaction when Scott starts singing is fantastic. And even though this is one of my favourite performances of theirs I don’t mind that you keep pausing because you are clearly enjoying this song and that is so lovely to see. Thank you for your honesty 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you're back. I read lots of the comments below and these people are right, don't appologise for pausing to teach us something new. If people don't want that, they can listen to an official version.
Pentatonix released a lot of stuff while you were gone they released an "At Home" EP with 6 new covers (there's a video for each one except "Cologne") And they just released a brand new original called " Happy Now" It's Matt's first original with PTX
Kyle, your observations and the analysis of the arrangement are always so good! That's why I don't mind a bit when you pause, or how much you pause. Anybody can nod and smile and say "that's great," but you go beyond that, and every pause you make is worth it. That's my opinion, for what it's worth, and of course not everyone is going to agree with me.
Don't apologize for pausing. Your pauses are always on point, educational and interesting. Believe me, there are reactors who pause far more often and have totally stupid comments. I love listening to you because I always learn something and it's always a joy to watch people discovering Pentatonix!!
Your pauses are totally worth it. You catch things on you first viewing/listening that I haven’t after 15 views. Plus you point out those details that while we hear for most of us go right over our heads; Showing all the work that is put into these songs and just make us realize how incredible they truly are.
OK Kyle, you're still here because this was posted a week ago and you reacted to it so I'm glad you are alive and presumably well. I was worried. I just discovered and subscribed to you yesterday and have gone on a bit of a binge because I'm a fellow Pentaholic. I, too, love your "I'm a little worried / concerned / wondering how they'll..." followed by "my concerns are gone / HOLY MOLY / or just deep stares into the screen" so keep doing what you do when you come back. Hope it's soon but take care of whatever you need to take care of first and stay safe.
I don't typically watch reaction videos, but I'm on a huge Pentatonix kick right now. Your in depth music analysis is on point. It definitely sets you apart from amature channels.
I really appreciate your pointing out and expounding on the inner workings of their techniques. As a music lover with zero musical education/theory you teach me the “why” when I’m getting goosebumps. Good lookin out💜
It's so nice to see reactions from someone who really knows music and vocals (so few people pick up on both Matt allowing Kirstie and Mitch to pick up the high note for him, and the subtle key change so that Kirstie won't be squeaking up in the heavens for her part.) I really hope you're feeling better now, and glad to see you back!
Eeeeeee, he's back!! What a great reaction. Thank you for pointing out so many things that I never noticed before. You are right about Avi and Matt, both are amazing and there is no reason they have to be compared to each other.
Welcome back, you were missed. I just wanted to say that Avi was instrumental in finding and choosing Matt to replace him in Pentatonix, so he got a big stamp of approval before we all met him. I miss Avi, too, but I love Matt's unique voice. Waiting for your next video....... :)
Kyle, I just have to tell you this. I follow a lot of PTX reactors and I mean a lot. You are number one, my absolute favorite, of all of them. Keep up the great work and continue being so very genuine.
I agree with Scott wholeheartedly. I watch a lot of reaction videos and I think it was the second or third video where I realized that Kyle is hands down my absolute favorite reactor.
Usually I hate reactors that pause a lot, but with you, it DOES NOT MATTER. PAUSE ON, BRO. You’re such a great musical observer/Pentaholic. :) So glad to see you back! Missed you!!!!!
Pause as much as you like. Your insights educate us and help us appreciate PTX even more! You're the best reactor/reviewer I've seen. And I appreciate the point you made about Avi and Matt.
Love to see you back! And LOVE the pauses. People don’t like the pauses when it’s filled with “insignificant” praise... we know they are amazing. But You teach us every time. So your pauses are filled with knowledge and we hear more. Welcome back
I think Kirstie jumped in there on the top note of Matt's run you were talking about. You're only about the second reactor I've seen catch that the first time listening, and I've watched a bunch of people react to this tune. (I didn't notice it until someone else pointed it out to me.) Great to have you back at it!
I totally agree with you on people arguing over Matt vs. Avi. I love Avi. He's my favorite solo artist. He did a great job during his time with the group. But I'm so so glad I got introduced to Matt. He's a great guy with big talent. Life is unexpected. Things change. Avi is happy. Pentatonix is happy. I think that's all that matters.
Your observations are the best I've seen. Thank you for pointing out the huge contribution of Kirsten. Most people only recognize Mitch (who is wonderful don't get me wrong) but don't realize what she's really doing. Scott is a beast on this and Matt has a terrific voice. And what can you say about Kevin? One of a kind!
Its so good to have you and your very detailed analysis of their songs back! That is what makes you so different to other reactors is that you notice things the others do not and point them out! listening to your old stuff just wasn't the same after about 10 times lool so i'm glad you're back ! Also we all have learned that pausing it is the only way you can do this without a copyright strike so go ahead especially as you offer such great insight! its not pausing just for the copyright thing and that is also good!
Sooo,I may have been one of your first subscribers. I've always loved the honest way you point out what's happening in the music. I can't read music, play an instrument, or sing. But I get goosebumps at times in PTX music and you pause and point out why. Thanks and love it. PS: I'm a baby boomer and I fell in love with this song in middle school.
Please realize that we have heard this straight thru a gazillion times. So the pausing NEVER , NEVER bothers me. You are conducting a Master class in the phenomenon that is Pentatonix. Take every pause you require. It makes me hear them better! L in AZ
Just found your channel. I love Pentatonix and I love your breakdowns of their music. I love reaction videos especially when the person has a deeper understanding of music. I fully appreciate you. Have a beautiful day. ^_^
Glad to see you back! I agree with you on Kirstin. I've always loved her obviously but since last year (for me), her voice has really been sticking out to me in their songs. Like I hear her the most most of the times. It's almost piercing but in a good way. Her low range to high range is so beautiful and she does it with ease. Ugh, she's so good. And yes, sometimes I can't tell who is singing when Mitch and Kirstie are singing background together. They can really sound the same if they want to!!!
I love all their stuff. In the past, I've noted that she seemed to do mostly backup & it kinda bothered me that the only girl was pushed back like that. But, lately, she is getting more front time (since Matt joined? Don't know why that would be connected). I really appreciate the power she has to front the guys so well with that crystal clear voice.
Claire Barnett It was her choice to be in the background as she was not comfortable with herself back in the day. She has grown in so many ways and is rightfully taking her place in the spotlight. She’s a force to be reckoned with for sure!
So good to have you back and looking so well. We were worried but, happily now, our concerns are gone! Thank you for another excellently entertaining and insightful review.
Glad You are ok! I listen to pentatonix because they sound awesome but when I listen to it with you and you point out all the things I miss, it makes it sound even better! Thanks from Australia. Stay safe xx
Your reaction is so honest. After I discovered Pentatonix singing Hallelujah in 2017, I listened to everything they had out, did my research, and fell in love with Pentatonix. They never disappoint and always move me to tears. I love your enthusiasm.
Like everyone else I was so very excited when I saw your name pop up !! We have certainly missed you Kyle (and if I'm honest we were a tad worried about you ) I'm so happy that we get to continue our PTX journey with you now !! Welcome back !
Welcome back!!! I notice the guitar in the background :) Can you play us a song sometime? Also the face you made after scotts second solo when they did the unison is SO me when I heard it for the first time.
I think it's my first time watching you reacting and Lord you don't disappoint. I loved every second of it. This song is 🔥 and thank you for pointing out Kirstie and the Matt/Avi situation. She really nailed this. Her voice is fierce. As for Matt, I'm just in love with him. New subscriber for sure!
Kirsten is everything in this, yes. This was also my first time hearing Matt after he joined the group and I liked him immediately. Plus after watching the PTXperience, I fell in love with his energy and his dynamic with everyone in the group. I still love the OG PTX but Matt also breathes a different kind of life into the group. Great reaction.
Hehe You picked a PERFECT song to come back on ... I love how it floored you.. The true mark of a great group is the ability to adapt as the dynamic changes... While I would LOVE to see Pentatonix and Avi get together for a project, I enjoy Matt in the group. I enjoyed Avi's time in PTX and LOVE what he is doing on his own. I don't think we would have ever gotten to hear this side of Avi if he would have stayed with the group. I'm also a Home Free fan, and they went through a similar transition. Their music changed in a good way too.
This shows how much they've grown vocally since the Trio performed Telephone in a High School choir performance. This is a wonderful arrangement of a classic from my youth.
You're back!!! Yay!!! It's so nice to have you back. I hope that all is well with you. I was concerned, so seeing your post was a relief. Awesome reaction. PTX is amazing. Kirstin is outstanding in this song. You have three years of Matt to catch up on in PTX videos. Glad that you were not disappointed.
Kirstin has another incredible prominent lead in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - their rendition of that song in general is just amazing. Mitch does mind-blowing stuff in it, and Matt has another solo as well. Glad you're back brother, hope all is well! Love it man!
We love it when you pause. If we want to see it unbroken, we would watch the original. We watch you to get your opinions and observations of the songs.Your insights are what makes watching you so informative. Please feel free to pause when you have one of your great insights.
Just so you know... I like the video before you even start talking. I enjoy your reactions SO much! I love your comments on the placement and harmonies and timing. It's so refreshing and rewarding to see someone react how I did. Also, don't worry about the pauses. It's worth hearing your input. As you see in your other comments, their new stuff is so amazing. I would also recommend for another new acapella groups, Citizen Queen (female group). For sure, their evolution of girl groups is a must see. Their transitions are so good, their beatboxer is on point and their female bass sounds like a man (in a good way).
Great to see you back posting videos! and I for one really love how much you pause, because you're excited and have really interesting things to say!! Plus you need to pause for copyright reasons, I'm sure. Keep being you! 💜
We're just happy that Matt joined our PTX family. He's an awesome addition to the team. Avi hand picked him to take his place. They don't have to be the same to both be amazing. They're brothers of the PTX family forever ❤
It was very nice to see you again Kyle, and very refreshing to hear you say "my concerns are gone" once again! I very much enjoy watching your energy, enthusiasm, and concern for those who watch your channel. In the future, may I recommend that you check out another group, Voiceplay. They are also so incredible. I would recommend starting with Oogie Boogie Song
I don’t mind the pauses because I love how you’re pointing out all the little pieces of ear candy then going back to let us really pick up on it too. Great reaction video!
Ass hole let music play
Then watch reactors that don't pause. Frankly I find most of them boring but each to their own.
Wow so unnecessary
it’s a good thing he pauses. better than talking over and missing everything. you’re the asshole here LMAO
Watch the original music video if you don't want pausing. Kyle's actually pointing out super cool things not everyone might catch and I'm really enjoying it.
If he doesn’t pause it will be taken down for copyright infringement. No need to be so rude. You don’t like it, watch the original and not a reaction.
honestly i love when reactors pause bc i love hearing peoples thoughts as they go! especially when you pause bc its actually educational!!
Kyle: I'm so worried it's going to let me down.
Me: His concerns will be gone.
(tm)
It's so good to hear the words "my concerns are gone" once again
(tm)
Yesss!!
I hate it when he says that. Why are there concerns in the first place with PTX?
@@cherylholtom9455 Well when he first started making these he had no idea who PTX was and I think it started out with his voicing realistic concerns about whether he would like acapella, since it's not in his forte, and whether they could do justice to something like Daft Punk for example.

And it has progressed i think to the point that it's a sort of a trademark (as my comment notes), he says it in every video and I think we know at this point he knows them so well he doesn't really have concerns...
Cheryl Holtom the first time he said he was worried, in daft punk, I laughed like a hyena and was so happy when his concerns were gone lol
I’m so glad to see a reaction video where Kirsten is given her due. She is spectacular.
Love your positive genuine appreciation for this group. They are amazing. Thank you.
Scott: Hello darkness, my old friend.
Kyle: *pauses and stares*
Me: *chortles*
Yuuup. Welcome back!
Yep... 😉
Exactly!
If anyone ever questioned whether Scott could back up the bass when either Avi or Matt took the lead, that was answered in the first five seconds of this song.
Glad to see you back. Your reactions have always been my favorite. There are so many new songs for you to react to. Pentatonix has been prolific even during the pandemic.

There are a lot more but this is enough for now.
Again welcome back. You’ve been missed.
Kyle: Kirstie sounds so great, I hope she has a lead.
Me: *giggling* This is gonna be good.
@@packerkats7578 It's just so much JOY to watch people watch PTX.
I looooved how you were going on about how strong Kirsten sounded even before her incredible solo verse XD you did NOT know what you were in for.

I love that you pause att point out different things, the more the better! 😃 I learn and notices a lot more thanks to you!
I'm 73, so I often have to announce "I'm NOT dead yet!", so I can sympathize. Good to have you back.
Said a prayer for you, friend. Thanks for mentioning Matt. He had such huge shoes to fill but instead of filling Avi’s shoes he made his own place in the group. His youth, energy, joy, and love for Pentatonix make him the perfect man for the job. He didn’t replace Avi, he joined the group and has made it so good!!

Well said!
I've been listening to a lot of Pentatonix reaction videos, but yours are awesome. Came late to the party but I've watched every video you've done in one day. Awesome job I love your videos.
I literally squealed and went "He's back!!" So happy to see you again. Hope everything is well and you're healthy!

Glad you're back, and don't apologize for stopping, love the way you use that time to actually analyze instead of just reaction. Best vid yet bro!
I appreciate that!
Yes, I concur! You point out things that I miss ALL THE TIME, and I appreciate it so much. I was so happy to see your video show up.
It's just the particular way in which you react to music. I do the same.
You are exactly correct about Avi and Matt. I love them both and I think they both are amazing.
Avi is classically trained Basso perfundo? On the AhHa you tube he practically blew out the sound system...no one is Better he is Avid and Matt is Matt.. Both just great!

I just discovered you tonight and now I'm trying to find them all and binge watch. Already you are my favorite Pentatonix reactor
Kirstie belting out the really high harmony notes made the song for me.
I'm SO GLAD you noticed Scott's bass!! Many reactors miss it! Matt is amazing! So talented! Love PTX
Thank you so much for pointing out Mitch’s high harmony! I have never seen a reactor mention it and it’s so incredible! It doesn’t deserve to get swept under the rug and I’m so glad you pointed it out.
Keep pausing! If we wanted to hear the video uninterrupted we could watch the original. You have great observations and insights that I've never picked up on before.

As to the Avi/Matt, they bring so many different things to the group. I was a die hard Avi fan, and was not thrilled at first with Matt coming in the group....until I heard him sing. That voice is like velvet! Soooo good!
If you want more Matt, check out "you're a mean one, Mr Grinch" (yes it's christmasy, but it's amazing and really shows what matt offers Pentatonix. )
Definitely! People don’t react to that one enough. Fun song, fun video and Matt couldn’t be any more perfect for it.
another good one is Come Along
And "when the Party's Over"
I went to their Christmas Tour show in NYC last Nov and Matt doing that song was probably my favorite song in the set.
Definitely!! Mr. Grinch is remarkable!! So much fun.
I really appreciated your comments about the group coming up to take the high notes for Matt. i hadn't noticed that before. Well done.
Dude, you have no idea how much I smiled when I saw you were back with a reaction. My concerns are gone as you say. There aren't many reactors that point out the genius move they made in supporting Matt with the higher notes while he maintained a lower octave at the end of that verse where you would expect him to go high like the others did.

I really appreciate your pointing out and expounding on the inner workings of their techniques. As a music lover with zero musical education/theory you teach me the “why” when I’m getting goosebumps. Good lookin out💜
It’s so cool that you noticing all the special parts of the song. Especially kirstins parts on this 👌🏻
It's so nice to see reactions from someone who really knows music and vocals (so few people pick up on both Matt allowing Kirstie and Mitch to pick up the high note for him, and the subtle key change so that Kirstie won't be squeaking up in the heavens for her part.)

Waiting for your next video....... :)
How can 5 people make that sound!? Incredible!
I've loved this song since about 1969, and I think it's very cool that they borrowed so much from the Disturbed cover. Very well selected.
Kyle, I just have to tell you this. I follow a lot of PTX reactors and I mean a lot. You are number one, my absolute favorite, of all of them. Keep up the great work and continue being so very genuine.
Wow that means a lot Scott! Thank you!
I agree with Scott wholeheartedly. I watch a lot of reaction videos and I think it was the second or third video where I realized that Kyle is hands down my absolute favorite reactor.
Usually I hate reactors that pause a lot, but with you, it DOES NOT MATTER. PAUSE ON, BRO. You’re such a great musical observer/Pentaholic. :) So glad to see you back! Missed you!!!!!
This is why you're my favorite reactor. You catch every cool thing I love about each song! Glad you're doing okay, can't wait for more content.
Pause as much as you like. Your insights educate us and help us appreciate PTX even more! You're the best reactor/reviewer I've seen. And I appreciate the point you made about Avi and Matt.
Love to see you back! And LOVE the pauses.
People don’t like the pauses when it’s filled with “insignificant” praise... we know they are amazing. But You teach us every time. So your pauses are filled with knowledge and we hear more. Welcome back
I love that at any point you can still pick out individual voices but none override the other during the harmonies.... such a powerful group
Reminds me of the Disturbed take on this song - and PTX delivered in every way. A close listen to perfection!
"My concerns are gone" ...
I think Kirstie jumped in there on the top note of Matt's run you were talking about. You're only about the second reactor I've seen catch that the first time listening, and I've watched a bunch of people react to this tune. (I didn't notice it until someone else pointed it out to me.)
Great to have you back at it!
Wasn't it Mitch? I'm fairly certain it sounded like him.
I thought it was Kirstie, but I've been wrong before.
Mike Goodwin it’s Mitch taking over the melody there while Matt drops to a harmony part during his solo.
Yep i was definitely mitch, u can hear Kirstin singing higher than him
Too much pausing for me!
Kyle!!!! It's so great to see you back! Much love 💘
If you want to hear more Matt please react to their cover of You're a Mean One Mr Grinch.
I totally agree with you on people arguing over Matt vs. Avi. I love Avi. He's my favorite solo artist. He did a great job during his time with the group. But I'm so so glad I got introduced to Matt. He's a great guy with big talent. Life is unexpected. Things change. Avi is happy. Pentatonix is happy. I think that's all that matters.
Your observations are the best I've seen. Thank you for pointing out the huge contribution of Kirsten. Most people only recognize Mitch (who is wonderful don't get me wrong) but don't realize what she's really doing. Scott is a beast on this and Matt has a terrific voice. And what can you say about Kevin? One of a kind!
Its so good to have you and your very detailed analysis of their songs back! That is what makes you so different to other reactors is that you notice things the others do not and point them out! listening to your old stuff just wasn't the same after about 10 times lool so i'm glad you're back ! Also we all have learned that pausing it is the only way you can do this without a copyright strike so go ahead especially as you offer such great insight! its not pausing just for the copyright thing and that is also good!
Sooo,I may have been one of your first subscribers. I've always loved the honest way you point out what's happening in the music. I can't read music, play an instrument, or sing. But I get goosebumps at times in PTX music and you pause and point out why. Thanks and love it. PS: I'm a baby boomer and I fell in love with this song in middle school.
Please realize that we have heard this straight thru a gazillion times. So the pausing NEVER , NEVER bothers me. You are conducting a Master class in the phenomenon that is Pentatonix. Take every pause you require. It makes me hear them better!

Just found your channel. I love Pentatonix and I love your breakdowns of their music. I love reaction videos especially when the person has a deeper understanding of music. I fully appreciate you. Have a beautiful day. ^_^
Mitch and Scott’s harmony while Kirsten sings is magic
Couldn't agree more about your comments about Avi and Matt. We get to enjoy the best of both.
I love the vids. Glad you'll be making more. I think your genuine facial reactions are what I love the most. :)
Glad to see you back! I agree with you on Kirstin. I've always loved her obviously but since last year (for me), her voice has really been sticking out to me in their songs. Like I hear her the most most of the times. It's almost piercing but in a good way. Her low range to high range is so beautiful and she does it with ease. Ugh, she's so good. And yes, sometimes I can't tell who is singing when Mitch and Kirstie are singing background together. They can really sound the same if they want to!!!
Also, if you're going to react to their new EP, Kirstie is also freaking amazing in all the songs!
I love all their stuff. In the past, I've noted that she seemed to do mostly backup & it kinda bothered me that the only girl was pushed back like that. But, lately, she is getting more front time (since Matt joined? Don't know why that would be connected). I really appreciate the power she has to front the guys so well with that crystal clear voice.
Claire Barnett It was her choice to be in the background as she was not comfortable with herself back in the day. She has grown in so many ways and is rightfully taking her place in the spotlight. She’s a force to be reckoned with for sure!
So good to have you back and looking so well. We were worried but, happily now, our concerns are gone! Thank you for another excellently entertaining and insightful review.
Glad You are ok! I listen to pentatonix because they sound awesome but when I listen to it with you and you point out all the things I miss, it makes it sound even better! Thanks from Australia. Stay safe xx
You’re doing great Kyle! Please keep going!
Your reaction is so honest. After I discovered Pentatonix singing Hallelujah in 2017, I listened to everything they had out, did my research, and fell in love with Pentatonix. They never disappoint and always move me to tears. I love your enthusiasm.
Like everyone else I was so very excited when I saw your name pop up !! We have certainly missed you Kyle (and if I'm honest we were a tad worried about you ) I'm so happy that we get to continue our PTX journey with you now !! Welcome back !
Welcome back!!! I notice the guitar in the background :) Can you play us a song sometime?
Also the face you made after scotts second solo when they did the unison is SO me when I heard it for the first time.
I think it's my first time watching you reacting and Lord you don't disappoint. I loved every second of it. This song is 🔥 and thank you for pointing out Kirstie and the Matt/Avi situation. She really nailed this. Her voice is fierce. As for Matt, I'm just in love with him. New subscriber for sure!
Kirsten is everything in this, yes. This was also my first time hearing Matt after he joined the group and I liked him immediately. Plus after watching the PTXperience, I fell in love with his energy and his dynamic with everyone in the group. I still love the OG PTX but Matt also breathes a different kind of life into the group. Great reaction.
Welcome back! You were missed!!
“Run to You” will knock you off your feet and take you to heaven, id highly recommend that. Soooo great to have you back, glad you’re doing well!
Indeed! Run to you is an original of theirs!!
Hehe You picked a PERFECT song to come back on ... I love how it floored you.. The true mark of a great group is the ability to adapt as the dynamic changes... While I would LOVE to see Pentatonix and Avi get together for a project, I enjoy Matt in the group. I enjoyed Avi's time in PTX and LOVE what he is doing on his own. I don't think we would have ever gotten to hear this side of Avi if he would have stayed with the group. I'm also a Home Free fan, and they went through a similar transition. Their music changed in a good way too.
This shows how much they've grown vocally since the Trio performed Telephone in a High School choir performance. This is a wonderful arrangement of a classic from my youth.
You're back!!! Yay!!! It's so nice to have you back. I hope that all is well with you. I was concerned, so seeing your post was a relief. Awesome reaction. PTX is amazing. Kirstin is outstanding in this song. You have three years of Matt to catch up on in PTX videos. Glad that you were not disappointed.
Kirstin has another incredible prominent lead in "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" - their rendition of that song in general is just amazing. Mitch does mind-blowing stuff in it, and Matt has another solo as well. Glad you're back brother, hope all is well! Love it man!
We love it when you pause. If we want to see it unbroken, we would watch the original. We watch you to get your opinions and observations of the songs.Your insights are what makes watching you so informative. Please feel free to pause when you have one of your great insights.
Just so you know... I like the video before you even start talking. I enjoy your reactions SO much! I love your comments on the placement and harmonies and timing. It's so refreshing and rewarding to see someone react how I did. Also, don't worry about the pauses. It's worth hearing your input. As you see in your other comments, their new stuff is so amazing. I would also recommend for another new acapella groups, Citizen Queen (female group). For sure, their evolution of girl groups is a must see. Their transitions are so good, their beatboxer is on point and their female bass sounds like a man (in a good way).
So glad to see you my friend! The way you reacted to this video is the way I wished all reactors did. fantastic job!
Kirsten's voice has improved exponentially since her time on Broadway.
Great to see you back posting videos! and I for one really love how much you pause, because you're excited and have really interesting things to say!! Plus you need to pause for copyright reasons, I'm sure. Keep being you! 💜
Omg 😱. You’re back. Glad you’re back. We were WORRIED. Great comeback reaction.👍
I've probably listened to this song 50 or more times. It is so awesome and their harmonies are unmatched, in my opinion. Love PTX!
I knew you'd love this one.
This one of those songs I could listen to 20-30 times!! I love to drive and listen to music! Love your reactions.
I was waiting for the "My concerns are gone" line. I would have been so disappointed had you not said it.
Kirstie stepped fwd to do battle! Gives me goosebumps.
I love it when I watch new to me reactors reacting to Pentatonix and they are blown away by how great they are I’m like , yes I know I know amazing
We're just happy that Matt joined our PTX family. He's an awesome addition to the team. Avi hand picked him to take his place. They don't have to be the same to both be amazing. They're brothers of the PTX family forever ❤
Welcome back! Love your reactions! I love this group and this is a great cover! Both Avi and Matt are awesome!
Man, watching your reaction is like a feeling a returning breath of fresh air. Welcome back!
Yay I’m so glad you’re back!!
Hey oh hey you exist again! 👍
Edit: your face after 0.5 seconds of Scott 😯
Edit 2: your face by the end of the video 😵
🤣🤣🤣
I know right? It's like you can see the exact point where Kyle's brain just explodes. :)
It's still my favorite PTX arrangement. It's so amazing from start to finish.
It was very nice to see you again Kyle, and very refreshing to hear you say "my concerns are gone" once again! I very much enjoy watching your energy, enthusiasm, and concern for those who watch your channel. In the future, may I recommend that you check out another group, Voiceplay. They are also so incredible. I would recommend starting with Oogie Boogie Song
I don’t mind the pauses because I love how you’re pointing out all the little pieces of ear candy then going back to let us really pick up on it too. Great reaction video!
So good to have you back!!!!!
