If you’re going to listen to Pentatonix, I highly recommend headphones. It’s so worth it lol.
Yes its a different jurney to lissen to them with earphones
I couldn’t agree more with the other commenters recommending that you wear headphones. I only THOUGHT that PTX was awesome until I heard them with headphones!
Absolutely! Headphones add so much to Pentatonix.
100%. Earphones/earbuds are a necessity.
💯
Did you also catch that Scott takes over the baseline when Matt’s singing? They are magical. I love this version.
Tons of people are upset Avi left, but he left for mental health healing.
Matt I feel is a fantastic addition. He has a wonderful range.
I wasn't upset at Avi leaving because I understood he needed to. I also understand he helped find Matt so in a way its like he carried on.
Avi's course needed a different track and Matt brings his own magic. He's a bass, but he's not the same bass Avi was - which proves the integrity of the group. They can absorb the new style and talent and work it into the whole instead of making the sound conform to what came before.
@@MatthewvMayoit was a story that went around but nope, Avi had nothing to do with the selection.
@@MatthewvMayo Avi wasnt involved in finding Matt.
Avis mom was very sick and he wanted to spend time at home with her as well as being tired of touring..so he made the decision to leave. This from what I've read
All five of them have absolutely insane ranges. It makes them so flexible! I remember hearing Scott talk about arranging "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and he was like, "Can we start this higher and then key change up twice?" Yes, yes, of course they could, lol
You definitely need headphones when you listen to pentatonix. Sound of silence is incredible but amazing grace is unbelievable. PLEASE, PLEASE React to that one. 😍😍
Yes, their Amazing Grace from 3? years ago is wow and Kirstens vibrato is even stronger in that one
Not even a minute into the song and I am crying already I am a mess. I have never heard of this group before. Now I feel like I have missed something magical I definitely want to hear more More MORE from this group. Absolutely BLEW ME AWAY THANK-YOU SO MUCH
Oh, you are in for a treat! I recommend Hallelujah if you haven’t already dove into the Pentatonix channel.
The thing that still gets me is they do this with just their 5 human(inhuman) voices. Lordy I LOVE it when Kirstie goes to her power vocals, just LOVE IT!!!! Each and everyone of them is so special. Don't know about ranking but every version of this song i have ever heard is good. That's a tribute to Paul Simon's writing.
I can’t say how many times I’ve watched reactions to this song and every single time I get chills from their performance. I’m old enough to have been around for the original with Simon and Garfunkel but this will always be my favorite version. But I love it when the person react and gets blown away.
Props indeed to Matt! The fact that he made it into PTX says it all. Thanks for posting this beautiful rendition and your reaction to it. The goosies go without saying. Let’s have more! Subbed!
All 4 versions are cool. They are like totally different songs & amazing in their own right. That being said, this is still my fav.
'
This always gives me chills. Matt's velvety voice is always great to hear. Don't know if you have checked out their cover of Creep yet, but if not you must hear it, but the version after they were unmasked on The Masked Singer is the best one to watch.
Their version of Creep blows me away!
This is great live. Matt especially sounds exactly the same live.
As a child of the 60’s I grew up on the original Simon and Garfunkel song. I knew the words but never cared much for the song. Then I heard Disturbed sing it and it made the words pop for me and I love that version. Pentatonix put out their version and I again fell in love with their version. On another video I read a message that said Disturbed’s version shows the helplessness of the song and Pentatonix version is the Optimistic side. Can’t agree more with that comment. I love both versions equally.
Absolutely love PTX. Would love to see more of them on your channel!!
Pentatonic,, they all are amazingly talented! They are the band the voices that does it all! Never be another group like this! Broke the mold!
Their versions of Bohemian Rhapsody, Amazing Grace, and Hallelujah are not to be missed.
I have heard it hundreds of times and still get goosebumps! Sometimes at different parts of the song.
I have chills on top chills.They sing magic ❤
Thanks Jamie for requesting this incredible song and thx for the reaction!! ❤
No matter how many times that I hear this…I get a full body shiver!!!
Simon and Garfunkel wrote the most prolific words that remain relevant. Pentatonix brought it to life like no other
Sorry, can't agree with you. Disturbed's version is the best by far ❤
Paul Simon wrote this on his own. In 1964ish. It was on his Paul Simon Song Book LP. Which I bought, I think, in 1965. And STILL HAVE IT! His quite, reflective; introverted, gentle vesion - with beautiful accoustic only accompaniment - is the antithesis of the the crude, hyped up 'made for cash' version subsequently put out with Garfunkell, under pressure from their management. Try and find it and have a listen. (And I love this version).
@@elizabethwakefield8894 Disturbed's is like the rage that accompanies deafening silence and PTX's is like the optimism that follows rage.
I always say the Pentatonix version is the best. Love it ❤❤
Each member of Pentatonix is uniquely gifted in the individual range abilities. Together they're a powerful, yet calming force to listen to.
Goosebumps every time! No one does it like PTX!
nice reaction! I agree that this is a great rendition...just as chilling as Disturbed's.I've heard that the original was a warning, Disturbed's was anger that the warning hadn't been heeded and PTX's is hope that finally the warning will be heeded.
Whenever the bass ( Avi or Matt) sings verse or lead, Scott takes over the bassline. It's hard to catch in videos because the camera focus is mostly on the singer and much of the bass is humming or just a word or two.
I never get tired of this version - unbelievable ❤
You need to hear their version of the Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah! It's amazing!!!!
I have listened to this song 3 times now and the reaction to their voices cut into my soul. and make me glad I'm alive. The words are so profound and beautiful This has made me very happy I have heard other versions and of course the original but this group by far nails it !!!
Gives me chills....
Have you reacted yet to Pentatonix' Imagine? That's a great one to do...
I got VIP tickets to see them for the first time this September. So excited!! 🎉🎉❤
I love the way you displayed the guitars!
I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel. I liked Disturbed's version too, but this one resonates on a different level.
Unless your speakers are fabulous i suggest always wearing headphones. Makes everything more intense. Really lovin' your reaction videos.
Wow all have incredible voices n range love it
If you haven't checked out PTX's Amazing Grace, I highly recommend it as well.
Chills? Oh yesssss. I rate it A++++ 🌟
A Pentatonix rabbit hole would be great. I love your reactions and have been waiting for ptx reactions. If you think you have goosebumps now, use the headphones.
They amaze me in everything they do. All of them are talented beyond belief. It’s hard to pick favorites but I think their cover of Shallow is better than the original. Kevin plays an instrument and does the base beat. I also love their version of “Imagine”. The video is perfect and brings tears to my eyes every time.
Great reaction 👍. Not many reactions i watch pick up on all the note changes from high to low and back again, it's crazy good.
massive boots to fill and he fills them just fine. avi has phenomenal talent but so does matt. avi is making his own music now and his talent and soul are meant to be there and u can tell from the change of genre that is what avi wanted . matt has a voice that deserves to be heard for what it is and he deserves to be making music how he wants to. im just so happy we can hear such talent, wherever they choose to go with it.
The talent in this group is unbelievable. I love their version of Shallow.❤
Don't know if you've heard "Kevin's 5th" yet. I was absolutely blown away by this piece. Just Kevin, his cello, and beat boxing at the same time. Matt comes in for some percussion, but honestly, it's a treat for the ears.
Great reaction. I think you would LOVE their Amazing Grace. It is a spiritual experience.
PENTATONIX really are insane, yes I had the chills too!! Love them to bits! xx
They all amazing.
I love Pentatonix. I listen to them every day. They are angels. Pleaee react to more. I suggest "Joyful Joyful" Live from the evergreen experience. Its an amazing Live performance.
Headphones...! Listening without them is missing half the amazing sound!
Acapella with headphones, so much better 😂
More freaking basslines from Matt: a sliding bass in „Havanna“!
I grew up in the 60's and always loved Simon and Garfunkel but this version left me in a happier place than other remakes I've heard
I love listening to Matt in 'You're a Mean one Mr. Grinch'. "Come Along"' is pretty fun too...Matt sings a little bit in that one too.
listen to their version weekly, at the very least, (obv after loving the original so fully), and never tire of the goosebumps. thank you for sharing yr reaction - biggest love from chicago :)
PTX don’t do covers, they do upgrades. Subbing to see more PTX reactions!
Their sound is referred to as "the wall of sound"...
this version of theirs is really great. who else has sung this version great is disturbed you will also be able to do that you will really love it.
I've seen numerous versions of this cover and many of them are great. But of all of them, THIS is my all-time favorite version. I love it even more than the original Simon and Garfunkel version in NYC Central Park which blew me away way back then when I saw it on TV LIVE.There are certainly other outstanding performances i.e.Disturbed both their video and the one of them on late-night TV. But, NONE, IMHO beat this one. Thank you for all your delightful reviews. I've been following for a long time now and I'm always delighted to find a new one when I come online to see my music.
Thanks hadnt heard this one yet so got to listen first time with you you and your beautiful wife have a fan ...
I've heard this dozens of times ... and I STILL get goosebumps. Absolutely fantastic version of this song.
Ive said this a few times but my 3 fave versions of this song give it 3 different meanings to me. Simon & Garfunkels original version is a warning to humanity, we are in danger of losing ourselves. This Pentatonix version is a glimmer of hope, humanity can save themselves. The Disturbed version is for me the darkest, humanity has been lost and any hope is gone. All 3 are outstanding.
I like the original and the covers you mentioned but PTX is the one on my playlist ❤️
So pleased you got round to watching this. Matt is amazing and a great addition when avi left. Would love to see you react more to ptx. Apart from the original this for me is the best cover version. Great reaction
Thank you for your great reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. I agree, they are awesome.
They all can do it all...!!!
Pentatonix is one of a kind. Goes directly to the soul, from the first notes. AMAZING❤
Love Disturbed version
I know it's not Christmas time, But! You have Got to listen to they're cover of Mary Did You Know. This song is what hooked me and made me a forever fan of this miraculous group of singers. Just Awesome.
This is a a great rendition. Love ptx they're all so talented. Listen to Elvis bridge over troubled waters (new mix better sound) love your reactions they're so authentically from the heart,
All 5 of them are incredibly talented on their own but together they are by far the best group to ever sing anything.
Since I retired, and about to be 68, I have been getting my affairs in order just in case. I have specified that the Pentatonix version of both Hallelujah and the Sounds of Silence be played at my memorial service. Cremation urn will have and open book with words inscribed. The time has come, the stories over. Thought I'd something more to say. (Pink Floyd quote from Time)
Bohemian Rhapsody. Amazing Grace. Imagine. Hallelujah has 711 million views on the vevo alone. I’m sure I’ve read that between all of the postings it’s over 1 billion now.
Be ready to get Mitch-Slapped in every song. Kevin is the beat boxer. All of these people have talents you can even imagine.
They have yet to do a bad song.
You'll get this a lot, but headphones are a MUST while listening to Pentatonix! There's so much that can't really be noticed without them.
Had chills the whole time. Wow 😮
I love disturbed's version but this has been my fave since i first heard it!
I JUST SUBSCRIBED.
I AM A PTX FAN.
I CAN WATCH THEM OVER AND OVER AND NEVER GET TIRD OF THEM.
🎵🎼🎶
Have you tried the original by Simon and Garfunkel it’s really good and how this song came about was that Paul Simon had A dream about the future and that’s where this song came from.
Ahh! I'd not heard that. I was a tween when they released their original song, but I've never heard an explanation for why it was written.
Best cover of this song ever. The musicality is broad so much forward in their arrangement.
Bro wasn't ready for the rush lol 😂
I’d LOVE to see you go down the Pentatonix rabbit hole. They were on a show called the Sing Off.
These guy's are so amazing. ❤❤them
The three main versions are Simon and Garfunkel which served as a warning. Then Disturbs version, which was anger that the warning was not listened to. And finally Pentatonix which says there is still hope.
Listen to them back to back to back. It is amazing the different feel of each.
You must listen to Pentatonic with headphones on - their layered harmonies are EPIC! You can hear every voice so succinctly and clearly. They are WICKED TALENTED!!! They have covers of songs that will bring you to tears!
I was lucky to see them live in London and was thrilled this was on the setlist and my God...... I had chills and tears!!!
I disagree about the live version, the one at the Hollywood Bowl (2022) is amazing
I think she was referring to the first one. It was on Kimmel live and the show forced a whole frickin drum line on them in the closing verse. Universally hated by fans and PTX themselves.
But yeah, the livestreams from Yale or the Hollywood Bowl are available now and are fabulous!
Matt has a beautiful, beautiful voice. A great replacement for the original bass...AVI.
When you start playing Christmas music for the Holiday season, check out "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch". Matt gives a truly fantastic performance as the lead throughout the song, and it is loads of fun to watch!
I saw someone make the comment a long time ago that Simon and Garfunkel's original is melancholy, Disturbed is angry, and Pentatonix is hopeful. It's stuck with me all this time because it feels so true.
thanks to Simon & Garfunkel for writing this classic over 50 years ago, making it possible for Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to re-interpret the message....that society was becoming de-personalized, withdrawn and accepting of "silence" to the realities of the world.........I, like many my age, received by first singing instruction in school choir....since then, I have been partial to good a capella singing........Pentatonix is good !
Love this, goosebumps from start!
Every time when I listening PTX I fall in rabbit hole again and again and I forget to breathing because I hold my breath 😅 Chills everywhere everytime 🥶 love love love ❤️
I rank this at the top of covers I've heard PTX always amaze ne. First time hearing your channel -- I like how u did reaction. I will be back.
Hello, I enjoyed your reaction to Pentatonix:s cover of the song, The Sound of Silence. You seem to appreciate various types of talent, so, I am requesting that you please react to Cab Calloway and the Nicholas brothers performance of Jumping Jive. Thank you.
They all can sing and do many things. Kevin has a beautiful voice to and can play many instruments including the cello
They are amazing. That isn't even a strong enough word. I am blown away by how much true emotion is in every song they sing. You can tell when an artist basically 'phoning in' a performance and not feeling it or giving it their all, but that never happens with this group. It's always their 'A Game' and you just get lost in listening to them.
They are very Blessed,i always get goosebumps
Matt’s dad is the worship leader at their church.
Matt grew up in church and has an absolutely beautiful voice IMO! ❤
best cover of this song. Paul Simon even said that
tip! When reacting to Pentatonix it’s best to listen with earphones 😊 you’ll hear the blend, bass, harmonies alot better (especially the bass!)
More Pentatonix please
Everything Pentatonix do is next level! 💞
They even did a “100 songs in ten minutes” challenge and got 95 of them done , I’m pretty sure it’s still the highest record for it 👌🏽
They’re awesome at what they do as individuals but when they come together as a group it’s just incredible, and it doesn’t matter if there’s a change in the lineup, still 💯!
