Just enjoy both groups. They both (Home free and Pentatonix) have so much great music. We can love them both!!! And we are the winners cause we got them both!!! Love you. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
This video won Pentatonix the 1st of their 3 Grammy Awards. Their 2nd Grammy was for "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" and their 3rd was for a collaboration they did with the great Dolly Parton on her hit song "Jolene". I don't think you have to choose between Pentatonix and Home Free, just enjoy them both. I think you'll that most fans are fans of both groups. By the way their is a 3rd acapella group that has a tremendous following of fans and they are called Voice Play. All 3 of these groups competed on the singing competition show "The Sing Off". Pentatonix won season 3 of "The Sing Off". Both Home Free and Voice Play were on season 4 of "The Sing Off" and competed against each other with Home Free winning season 4. You can watch all performances from the show here on You Tube.
Pentatonics is beyond incredible. Hallelujah and Mary did you know as well as The sound of silence, and Bohemian Rhapsody are a MUST! Keep up the great work, Van. God bless you and your family! Also, “Get Lucky” was Pharrell and Daft Punk.
Their beatboxer, Kevin Olusola, has a solo looping cover of the song "Down" on his UA-cam channel that is fascinating, fun, and FIRE!!! I honestly feel like he might be his generation's Jimmi Hendrix!
I have to agree with you!! Kevin is a very special guy, concert cellist, kinda new daddy, BEATBOXER and just a really good man. He has so much ahead and he will definitely go far!! Congratulations Kevin and Wifey!! Nothing like a new baby!!
Both groups are talented. Just different types of music. You can enjoy all types of music. I'm more of a Home Free fan myself. But I can appreciate and enjoy PTX and what they do for music and their fans.
I agree.....i prefer Home Free, however i love PTX and Voiceplay as well !!......how could i not ??.....i could listen to this song and "The Prayer" every day cuz they're so damn good !!
All a cappella is fantastic, but this is the song that really, truly redefines it. It sounds so synthesized electronica, which is the most amazing, creative thing to do with nothing more than vocal talent. Let's appreciate their visuals too, in all their videos - They're artists in a lot of ways.
Home Free fans (Home Fries) and Pentatonix fans (Pentaholics) are called Pentafries because they recognized both group's talent. To cover the trifecta of A Cappella groups you should also check out Voiceplay.
Thank you for reacting to this Pentatonix medley of 7 songs from the band Daft Punk. They won their first (of 3) Grammy for the arrangement of this medley. There is no need to compare or pick a favorite A cappella band, just enjoy them. That way you won't piss off any fan base. Many will inform you of VoicePlay and Voctave. They are also A cappella. The great thing is that all 4 bands/groups are very different in the type of music they focus on performing. Enjoy!!!
Daft Punk is a European punk-edm duo that over the years had several big hits in the club/edm scene. A few, including Lucky, even broke into the mainstream pop scene & were popular on the radio here in the U.S. & other countries. PTX honored them by doing this medley of their most popular hits. They did such a great arrangement it got them their 1st Grammy.
Both groups are awesome, and both won The Sing Off a year apart. They make everything sound better. Try Pentatonix doing Can't Hold Us, good rapping there.
They won 1 season apart but were on about 2 years apart. NBC had stopped the Sing-Off after the 3 season but PTX had great success and recognition in 2013 and encouraged NBC to do another season of the Sing-Off. That reboot of the show gave Home Free their chance. I think Home Free said they had been playing small venues for about a decade prior to that.
GREAT REACTION!!! The REALLY GREAT thing about the world of A Cappella is that while there are several top tier groups out there, each one has its own unique sound, and you DON'T have to decide which one is your favorite. Just like parent does not have a favorite child, but can see the beauty and unique personality of each. So can we see and appreciate the talent and unique personality of each of the best A Cappella groups! Skill-wise Pentatonix, Home Free, VoicePlay, and Voctave are all up at the top. (And yes, you DO NEED to check out VoicePlay and Voctave!) The fun thing is that sometimes they collaborate/feature members of each other's groups. And, sometimes, there are songs that all of them have done at one time or another. Yes, my son, there are MANY rabbit holes and all of them are deep! Have fun exploring! I enjoy watching your reaction videos and look forward to seeing more!
I listened to home fries once and they were good...to be honest that's when Avi Kaplan blessed them with his presence! When I hear the word acapella...I'm thinking Pentatonix!
I have a trifecta of acapella: Pentatonix are the dance/Contemporary style (aka the cool kids), Home Free are the boys next door/country side, and Voice Play are the theatre kids (think broadway/Disney costumes and sets. All three got noticed from The Sing Off. The basses of these groups do arrangements and appearances in each others videos. So much talent., and in such different styles. Enjoy the rabbit hole that includes all three. Hugs from Newfoundland
The bass, Avi Kaplan, has gone solo. You got to check out his official video of the the song “Change on the Rise”. It’s got a great bluegrass feel and the cinematography is good too.
Check out their cover of John Lenin’s “Imagine” and cover of Sound of Silence. If you’re in a Christmas mood Mary did you know, Come All Ye Faithful Faithful or any of their many Christmas songs. If you are familiar with Queens Bohemian Rhapsody their cover of that will blow your mind.
Great reaction Van! I’m so glad your reacting to PTX now! I hope the journey continues. Their Evolution Of Videos are outstanding…Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé are all phenomenal!
Technologic. One More Time. Get Lucky. Digital Love. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Television Rules the Nation. Around the World. Each of them a great Daft Punk song on its own. Some more so than others. In this medley, each playing an important role. A great introduction to a fantastic group. I'd love to see you react to the original ones now that you've heard the Pentatonix version.
I have always been a Queen follower and I am totally blown away how well PTX does Queen!! THE ONLY TIME I DIDN'T SEE RED AND WANT TO THROW SOMETHING OUT THE WINDOW!!! They don't disappoint
NOW, ya got that new-age techno vibe rockin', Mr. Van! Pentatonix is 1 of the best at it, because of the versatility of their voices. They play off each other to perfection! For more of that techno groove, you may want to react to:. "Winter Wonderland", by The Eurythmics, for a Christmas flavor; "Don't Come Around Here No More", by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers", produced by The Eurythmics' producer, David Stewart; & "Der Kommissar", by Falco, 1 of the more intriguing songs ever. Look at Mr. Van, goin' all 21st century! Thanks for the fun ride!
Congratulations on your sons novel. You’re a proud papa. 🥰 As others have mentioned Pentatonix has a lot of wonderful songs I think you’ll enjoy. Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, The Prayer, Amazing Grace to name a few are wonderful choices. Look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions 🤗
You will find they have a broad range of styles of music that they do. Also, a heads up. There has only been one line up change. The bass in this, Avi, left a few years ago and his replacement is Matt. Mitch, high voice, and Kirstie, girl, often change their look so much that people who aren't familiar with them don't recognize them. I hope you have great fun discovering what they can do. For a variety of styles, might I suggest, "Can't Hold Us", "Amazing Grace", Come Along" , "Favorite Things" and "90's Dance Medley".....just to get you started. Have fun!!
Hey! I just listened to your son's channel. He is so smart and cool. Now you tell me he has written a book. Fabulous! Told him in the comments that he could be anything. I've worked with kids all my life. He definitely has what it takes. All the best to you and your family.
You have definitely jumped on the Good Ship Acapella. Welcome aboard! These guys are amazing! I really don't think you would be disappointed by anything they have done. They have an extensive catalogue. Just pick any one and enjoy!
the big three (VoicePlay, HomeFree, and Pentatonix) are all absolutely amazing, they just do different types of music! HomeFree leans more country folk/indie but they can hold it down in gospel as well as r&b/soul. VoicePlay is all about the theatrics: costumes, sets, makeup, editing tricks, and their music is definitely more costume-like, such as the oogie boogie song, hoist the colors, and their Disney princess medleys. Pentatonix is clean, bright, fluid, grammy-winning, contemporary, adaptable, and very mainstream (and three of them grew up together and two met during university). It's perfectly fine to be a fan of all three!!!
Daft Punk is the ultimate electronic group and Pentatonix is the ultimate A Capella (all voice) group! Daft Punk made an anime style music video called Interstella 5555, which is a must see. They sampled a lot of classic Funk songs in their era
Daft Punk was a 90's electronic (I think the term is technopop) music group who's stage look was meant to be futuristic/cybernetic. So I would guess PTX was paying tribute to that in this medley of their songs.
I never get tired of this video - it's literally the best thing I've ever seen, the people in this group just drip talent - and they work they ass off. FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pentatonix pave the way for the new kind of acapella. Bringing it into the everyday stream of music. I don't listen to much of home free because I'm not into country style music. But they do have some wonderful stuff. Enjoy acapella at its best.
I love all of PTX"s Christmas music. It's all amazing. Did I miss you doing Home Free's Butt's remix and Ring of Fire? Those are must hears from Home Free. Also try some of Avi Kaplan(PTX Bass) solo stuff. Loved your reaction to this one!
This is a song to just be a song. It's fun, it has no message, it was just a creative piece they didn't even write the parts to, they just took something they liked and made it their own. No agenda, just fun
Great reaction. I can't wait to see your reactions to more of Pentatonix's masterpieces. A few suggestions: IMAGINE, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, SING, CHEERLEADER, HAPPY NOW, THANK YOU, HAVANA, SOUND OF SILENCE and many more. Thanks!
As a pentaholic myself, I do like home free as well. May I suggest one more for you... Voiceplay - Hoist the Colors. The Bass singer will blow your mind. 🤯
Just enjoy them. It’s like comparing apples, oranges and bananas. Pentatonix leans towards pop/ techno, Homefree leans country but they sing all genres, VoicePlay is the third group in this Trifecta. They are the theater kids. There is no better since they are all different in their own way. It’s great that their all friends too
With all due respect. How are they a trifecta? If you put pentatonix in the same basket as home free and voiceplay then you might as well include every Acapella group. HF and VP are in no way close to PTX. And i'm not talking quality. Everybody Can have their taste And even like the much less known groups better. But in terms of popularity. These PTX guys are many Times bigger than VP and HF combined. I don't see a trifecta. It's PTX, then under it there's a duo of HF and VP. Because that's the truth. These guys have had absolutely no competition in the Acapella World since they were created. HF and VP are amazing quality wise but they are not a trifecta with by far the biggest Acapella group of all time
I think both groups are great but I love the variety and sound of PTX vs the mostly country sound of Home Free. I love the soprano sounds of Kirsten and Kevin's beat boxing. Kevin has a drum set in his throat.
funny you should mention another acapella group, because there is another one putting out music at a comparable level. there is no real competition. of course everyone has their favorite, but we can all enjoy all of their music. even when they cover the same song they have different arrangements so it's still all love. i don't think you will regret getting to know all of them and how they differ to make themselves unique. have fun going down the rabbit hole.
I’m sure many of told you but if not they each filmed this in a closet individually and then edited on one of their own computers. They did on a budget of like a 100-300 bucks or something and won a Grammy for it!
Pentatonix have some incredible range as far as what songs they can do. They did an entire “Wizard of OZ” musical that was really good. Also really impressive, this was three Daft Punk songs mixed together.
Definitely go back and listen to the original Daft Punk tracks these are based on; it will only increase your appreciation of this performance. Start with "One More Time" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."
I remember this 'band' LOL doing their first live tv performance on SNL. Was intrigued. Turned out it was just a couple of metros in snowmobile helmets pushing buttons.
Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off, Home Free (I believe) won Season 4. I believe that their is much mutual respect between the groups and Avi (former Pentatonix bassist in the two videos you reacted to) collabbed with Home Free. Watching him and Tim Faust from Home Free destroy woofers is a lot of fun. Both are excellent A Cappella groups. Try Bohemian Rhapsody, Amazing Grace, Can't Hold Us, Imagine, Sing, Sound of Silence, and of their Evolution of series. You really cannot go wrong. They cross genres and also do original music.
Wow congratulations on your sons book. That is awesome. I’ll definitely buy one. Love your reactions. I love pentatonix so much because they have such variety of music and they have such amazing voices individually.
Love your genuine reactions! Not “the baritone” at 7 minutes in though - that was Bass Avi, who also has amazing tone in the higher end of his range. Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole!
Just enjoy both groups. They both (Home free and Pentatonix) have so much great music. We can love them both!!! And we are the winners cause we got them both!!! Love you. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
Exactly, one group is NOT better than the other. Both are at the absolute top of the genre and just feel fortunate that we have both to enjoy.
Yessss!!!! I'm definitely a PentaFry!!!!! Love all around!!
So you are steering him to Ring of Fire?
Check out Voice play they are like a middle ground in style between homefree and these!
This video won Pentatonix the 1st of their 3 Grammy Awards. Their 2nd Grammy was for "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" and their 3rd was for a collaboration they did with the great Dolly Parton on her hit song "Jolene". I don't think you have to choose between Pentatonix and Home Free, just enjoy them both. I think you'll that most fans are fans of both groups.

PTX are the best, period! ❤️🇦🇺
Daft punk was dope, man. They were transformative in the electronica scene back in the late 90’s/early 2000’s.
Random access memories
RIP Daft Punk... It still hurts 😭
@@Jerkturtle Yeah, I feel yah, bro. Same.
That won them their 1st Grammy 😁
Pentatonics is beyond incredible. Hallelujah and Mary did you know as well as The sound of silence, and Bohemian Rhapsody are a MUST! Keep up the great work, Van. God bless you and your family!
Also, “Get Lucky” was Pharrell and Daft Punk.
DAFT PUNK were two of the most popular dance music producers GLOBALLY in the last 20 years.
More PENTATONIX reactions!!💥
You should check out Amazing Grace and The Prayer! Great reaction!
another their song in the same club vibe is their original "Love Again"
They got their first Grammy for Daft Punk
2nd Grammy was for “Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy.
3rd Grammy for Jolene featuring Dolly Parton
Their beatboxer, Kevin Olusola, has a solo looping cover of the song "Down" on his UA-cam channel that is fascinating, fun, and FIRE!!! I honestly feel like he might be his generation's Jimmi Hendrix!
I have to agree with you!! Kevin is a very special guy, concert cellist, kinda new daddy, BEATBOXER and just a really good man. He has so much ahead and he will definitely go far!! Congratulations Kevin and Wifey!! Nothing like a new baby!!
There's no vocal group better than Pentatonix, mostly because of their composer/arranger Ben Bram (but also cause they're crazy talented)
Agree to disagree
They ask arrange. I’d say Ben is more like the quarterback but they all arrange together for the most part
You'd probably enjoy their 90's Dance Medley too!
If you react to this just realize that Avi (the one with the beard is replace by Matt Salle) no other member changes have happened
Both groups are talented. Just different types of music. You can enjoy all types of music. I'm more of a Home Free fan myself. But I can appreciate and enjoy PTX and what they do for music and their fans.
I agree.....i prefer Home Free, however i love PTX and Voiceplay as well !!......how could i not ??.....i could listen to this song and "The Prayer" every day cuz they're so damn good !!
This song mashes up Daft Punk so well. These guys are crazy talented
All a cappella is fantastic, but this is the song that really, truly redefines it. It sounds so synthesized electronica, which is the most amazing, creative thing to do with nothing more than vocal talent. Let's appreciate their visuals too, in all their videos - They're artists in a lot of ways.
😂💕 OMG your ‘am I in trouble face’ is priceless! Congratulations on your sons book man that’s incredible✌️💫

EVERY song of theirs is just in another planet! Incredible group that's all I can say!!!
Bohemian Rhapsody and Imagine, Mary Did You Know for that Christmas flare. Brian May of Queen tweeted out their version of BR saying it was great!
I listened to home fries once and they were good...to be honest that's when Avi Kaplan blessed them with his presence! When I hear the word acapella...I'm thinking Pentatonix!
I have a trifecta of acapella: Pentatonix are the dance/Contemporary style (aka the cool kids), Home Free are the boys next door/country side, and Voice Play are the theatre kids (think broadway/Disney costumes and sets.

check out their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.
There's no one going to be coming in here and saying there is someone better than Pentatonix.
Daft punk - Discovery is one of the best albums of all time.
More PTX please, they’re incredible ☀️
Grammy number 1. This is also one that’s great live.
The bass, Avi Kaplan, has gone solo. You got to check out his official video of the the song “Change on the Rise”. It’s got a great bluegrass feel and the cinematography is good too.
Check out their cover of John Lenin’s “Imagine” and cover of Sound of Silence. If you’re in a Christmas mood Mary did you know, Come All Ye Faithful Faithful or any of their many Christmas songs. If you are familiar with Queens Bohemian Rhapsody their cover of that will blow your mind.
Great reaction Van! I’m so glad your reacting to PTX now! I hope the journey continues. Their Evolution Of Videos are outstanding…Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Beyoncé are all phenomenal!
Thanks!
PTX IS #1 IN THE WORLD.
🥰🎶😁
Technologic. One More Time. Get Lucky. Digital Love. Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Television Rules the Nation. Around the World. Each of them a great Daft Punk song on its own. Some more so than others. In this medley, each playing an important role. A great introduction to a fantastic group. I'd love to see you react to the original ones now that you've heard the Pentatonix version.
Pentatonix won their Grammy Award for Best Music Video for which Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoenig accepted the award
I'm a pentaholic AND a home fry! I love them both!
I have always been a Queen follower and I am totally blown away how well PTX does Queen!! THE ONLY TIME I DIDN'T SEE RED AND WANT TO THROW SOMETHING OUT THE WINDOW!!! They don't disappoint
Since it came out this has been and seems it will always be my fav song of all time
NOW, ya got that new-age techno vibe rockin', Mr. Van! Pentatonix is 1 of the best at it, because of the versatility of their voices. They play off each other to perfection!

Look at Mr. Van, goin' all 21st century! Thanks for the fun ride!
They r the ones making it sound like they r skipping. All vocal instrumental.Avi the base left & now Matt joined. He is awesome too.
I'm glad you are enjoying PTX! You would LOVE Amazing Grace and Oh Come All Ye Faithful !
I love how their music kind of tickles your brain and makes you want more. Congratulations on the book!
Their version of Amazing Grace might make you cry
You can be like the rest of us -a Pentaholic and a Home Fry at the same time!
This was the video I seriously fell in LOVE with her.
I love Pentatonix, Home Free and Voiceplay. They are very different in style, but that just means that I can always find some music to fit my mood.
Congratulations on your sons novel. You’re a proud papa. 🥰 As others have mentioned Pentatonix has a lot of wonderful songs I think you’ll enjoy. Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, The Prayer, Amazing Grace to name a few are wonderful choices. Look forward to more of your Pentatonix reactions 🤗
You will find they have a broad range of styles of music that they do.
Also, a heads up. There has only been one line up change. The bass in this, Avi, left a few years ago and his replacement is Matt.
Mitch, high voice, and Kirstie, girl, often change their look so much that people who aren't familiar with them don't recognize them.
I hope you have great fun discovering what they can do.
For a variety of styles, might I suggest, "Can't Hold Us", "Amazing Grace", Come Along" , "Favorite Things" and "90's Dance Medley".....just to get you started.
Have fun!!
One of my favs will always be 'Evolution of music' -Pentatonix its a lot of fun
There's no problem being a fan of both groups. After all they're big fans of each other!
Check out they Bohemian Rapsody and Evolution of Michel Jackson 😜
Hey!
I just listened to your son's channel. He is so smart and cool. Now you tell me he has written a book. Fabulous!
Told him in the comments that he could be anything. I've worked with kids all my life. He definitely has what it takes. All the best to you and your family.
You have definitely jumped on the Good Ship Acapella. Welcome aboard! These guys are amazing! I really don't think you would be disappointed by anything they have done. They have an extensive catalogue. Just pick any one and enjoy!

They won their first grammy for this song!
You pressed that button and looked around like you were afraid your mama was gonna kick in your door holdin’ a belt in her hand. 🤣🤣
Pentatonix '90's medley' is great for those who were into going to the clubs then.
Daft Punk is the ultimate electronic group and Pentatonix is the ultimate A Capella (all voice) group!
Daft Punk made an anime style music video called Interstella 5555, which is a must see. They sampled a lot of classic Funk songs in their era
I am so happy you're into Pentatonix now. There is a lot to listen to and none of their performances are a disappointment.
Daft Punk was a 90's electronic (I think the term is technopop) music group who's stage look was meant to be futuristic/cybernetic. So I would guess PTX was paying tribute to that in this medley of their songs.
Glad you enjoyed them! Nothing wrong with loving Home Free and Pentatonix ( that means you are a "Pentafry").
I never get tired of this video - it's literally the best thing I've ever seen, the people in this group just drip talent - and they work they ass off. FIRE. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't try to determine who is the BEST, I just enjoy the EARGASMS!
Going on your pentatonix discovery journey with you, i love them! Theyre incredible. So glad your watching them all.
Pentatonix pave the way for the new kind of acapella. Bringing it into the everyday stream of music. I don't listen to much of home free because I'm not into country style music. But they do have some wonderful stuff. Enjoy acapella at its best.
I love all of PTX"s Christmas music. It's all amazing. Did I miss you doing Home Free's Butt's remix and Ring of Fire? Those are must hears from Home Free. Also try some of Avi Kaplan(PTX Bass) solo stuff. Loved your reaction to this one!
This is a song to just be a song. It's fun, it has no message, it was just a creative piece they didn't even write the parts to, they just took something they liked and made it their own. No agenda, just fun
Home free great Pentatonix boom pow boom 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 I'm a pentaholic ........,..
Great reaction. I can't wait to see your reactions to more of Pentatonix's masterpieces. A few suggestions: IMAGINE, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, SING, CHEERLEADER, HAPPY NOW, THANK YOU, HAVANA, SOUND OF SILENCE and many more. Thanks!
As a pentaholic myself, I do like home free as well. May I suggest one more for you... Voiceplay - Hoist the Colors. The Bass singer will blow your mind. 🤯
Made it for $400.
Won a Grammy.
Talent!
Just enjoy them. It’s like comparing apples, oranges and bananas. Pentatonix leans towards pop/ techno, Homefree leans country but they sing all genres, VoicePlay is the third group in this Trifecta. They are the theater kids. There is no better since they are all different in their own way. It’s great that their all friends too
With all due respect. How are they a trifecta? If you put pentatonix in the same basket as home free and voiceplay then you might as well include every Acapella group.

These guys have had absolutely no competition in the Acapella World since they were created. HF and VP are amazing quality wise but they are not a trifecta with by far the biggest Acapella group of all time
Mitch is the tenor, Kirsten is the alto, Scott is the second tenor, Avi is the bass, and Kevin is the beat boxer
Scott is a baritone actually. 🙂
I think both groups are great but I love the variety and sound of PTX vs the mostly country sound of Home Free. I love the soprano sounds of Kirsten and Kevin's beat boxing. Kevin has a drum set in his throat.
The one with the deep voice singing with just him and the beatboxer...that's Avi and he is the basso profundo..super deep bass.
Hey Van, check out their journey on the show, "The Sing Off." You'll get their back story, as well
I recomend their rendition of "Imagine" . I love their music.
funny you should mention another acapella group, because there is another one putting out music at a comparable level. there is no real competition. of course everyone has their favorite, but we can all enjoy all of their music. even when they cover the same song they have different arrangements so it's still all love. i don't think you will regret getting to know all of them and how they differ to make themselves unique. have fun going down the rabbit hole.
Glad to see going down the PTX rabbit hole!
It’s important to be comfortable…for proper appreciation
I’m sure many of told you but if not they each filmed this in a closet individually and then edited on one of their own computers. They did on a budget of like a 100-300 bucks or something and won a Grammy for it!
Love them both its perfectly fine.
Pentatonix have some incredible range as far as what songs they can do. They did an entire “Wizard of OZ” musical that was really good. Also really impressive, this was three Daft Punk songs mixed together.
I think it was seven Daft Punk songs...but hey, who's counting? :D
Definitely go back and listen to the original Daft Punk tracks these are based on; it will only increase your appreciation of this performance. Start with "One More Time" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."
The 3 top ones I know are these guys, homefree and voiceplay. Voiceplay is my favourite!
I remember this 'band' LOL doing their first live tv performance on SNL. Was intrigued. Turned out it was just a couple of metros in snowmobile helmets pushing buttons.
check out the 90s medley
Pentatonix won Season 3 of The Sing Off, Home Free (I believe) won Season 4. I believe that their is much mutual respect between the groups and Avi (former Pentatonix bassist in the two videos you reacted to) collabbed with Home Free. Watching him and Tim Faust from Home Free destroy woofers is a lot of fun. Both are excellent A Cappella groups. Try Bohemian Rhapsody, Amazing Grace, Can't Hold Us, Imagine, Sing, Sound of Silence, and of their Evolution of series. You really cannot go wrong. They cross genres and also do original music.
I think a few of their songs you would be blown away are covers of: imagine, bohemian rhapsody, and imagine.
Congrats on you sons book. that's awesome
PTX does Christmas like no other. So many to choose from but O Come O Ye Faithful is SO fun!!! Or God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.
Wow congratulations on your sons book. That is awesome. I’ll definitely buy one. Love your reactions. I love pentatonix so much because they have such variety of music and they have such amazing voices individually.
Love your genuine reactions! Not “the baritone” at 7 minutes in though - that was Bass Avi, who also has amazing tone in the higher end of his range. Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole!
You have to check out 90 dance medley!! It's sooo good! Took me back big time!!!😁🎶
