Ok so I am bad with names and the paper format I was using has been updated, so that won't happen again. Kevin is the beatboxer. Matt hadn't joined the group yet.
So no apologies to Kevin?
@@mjcole12 What?
Pentatonix a "brief" background.
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on UA-cam, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his UA-cam videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on UA-cam), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an a cappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on UA-cam, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch ua-cam.com/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/v-deo.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. A good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
They have Grammy wins for Daft Punk Medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene featuring Dolly Parton. They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win. Another nomination for Holidays Around the World album in the 2024 list!
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. No dates YET!
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. They are the only a capella group with a star!
They came 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong Pentaholics will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used autotune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
4. It is "Pentatonix" there is no "The".
You were right, Avi was replaced (he left due to the group's heavy schedule), BUT, the replacement was Matt...so the beatboxer is KEVIN !! This video was the the first of the 3 grammy's they've won (plus 2 other nominations !!
Dang it. I did it again. I get names mixed up. That's why I don't use a paper sheet anymore to keep up with names. I have everything in a word document to refer back to
Kevin's hair bak then was short like Matt keeps his hair, and the visor obscured his face. (Yeah, that's the ticket.)
They won their first Grammy for this one. It was done in Avi's kitchen and closet for $400. They have 3 Grammy's and should have more
I heard from some fans that when Avi left, and so did all their Grammy potential
@@AceofBadeReactsWow all their Grammy potential? They were just nominated and may not have won it but they can get Grammys without AvI. I was going to subscribe but if this is what ur going to give then no I’m good.
@@KimbaLoveAdams I was just saying what I have heard from fans. That doesn't reflect my opinion, but if you want to leave because of what fans say, then I can't stop you
👋😃So you've been corrected on the beatboxer being Kevin and Matt replaced Avi as bass in late 2017.
It's Scott that has the widest vocal range. He is a baritone but sings bass when Avi or Matt have a singing lead, he hits very high falsettos as well.
Scott, Kirstie and Mitch are childhood friends from Texas.
PENTATONIX "IS" the most successful A capella group EVER!
5 Grammy nominations 3 Grammys WON, Billboard awards,
Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
Worldwide sensations,
Tons more accolades AND they are all younger than the other groups you mentioned.
They are a true class act and are ABSOLUTELY the nicest, funniest, well known/liked A capella group in the music industry.
Yeah I got corrected pretty quick. And I made sure to pin a comment about it. Thank you for the info
They won their first Grammy (for Arrangement, instrumetal or acapella) with this song. They shot the video in the kitchen of the apartment that Avi and Kevin shared as roommates in their early days, and the audio was recorded in one of the closets (for the acoustics)..
That's awesome. They did a lot with very little room
The Beatboxer is Kevin Olusola, not Matt. Matt Sallee is the bass singer that replaced Avi in 2017.
Yeah I made a mistake with the names. I pinned a comment about it
NO...KEVIN IS THE BEATBOXER WITH THE SUNGLASSES...AVI WAS REPLACED BY MATT IN 2017. THAT IS THE ONLY MEMBER THAT CHANGED
Yeah I made a mistake with names. I pinned a comment about it
The others change clothes and hair from day to day, so they always look as "new members". 😅
@@erikdarman591 Chameleons has I have heard them described
Avi - Bass and Barítono
Scott - Barítono and Bass (and he can sing high too)
Kirstie - Mezo Soprano
Mitch - contra tenor
Kevin - tenor (He sings high like Mitch and Kirstie too)
PSA....No instruments were harmed in the making of this music and video.
Goodness. I hope so
Their most recent videos are O Holy Night, Kiss from a Rose and Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is here. All fantastic. You can see how they have matured.
For sure. I'll save Christmas ones for July or December. I have a plan for those
Watch "Wizard Of Ahhh" to see a real change of looks and " Can't Hold us" is a rap
They are on the list
if you want to hear Mitch's upper range, listen to the prayer by Pentatonix
That one is on the list
Kevin is the one wearing the glasses. Matt joined the group after Avi left.
Yeah that got caught pretty quick when this went live. I pinned a comment about it
DFTPNK has not just a "couple of" actually they have More than a few popular songs.
They are a very unique group, i encourage you to listen their music, its out of this world!
They change my world as Ptx do too(mostly their original music).
Nice reaction 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For sure. I haven't listened to a lot, but I know a few songs
That's Kevin, not Matt. Matt replaced Avi when he went solo in 2017
Yeah I made a mistake with the names. I pinned a comment about it
Thanks for the reaction. Pentatonix is the best a cappella group (imo). They have sold out Market Square Arena. They were in the movie Pitch Perfect 2, they were in the Candy Cane Lane movie with Eddie Murphy, they’ve had 3 Christmas specials one on Disney and 2 on NBC, they have performed at the White House, the Kennedy Center honors, etc. Plus 5 Grammy nominations and 3 Grammy wins. You should check out their Evolution videos, such as the Evolution of Michael Jackson or the Evolution of Rihanna. Or their original music like “Sing”, “Can’t Sleep Love “, or “Love Again”
They are definitely on top of acapella
Scott Hoying and his husband just bought a $5MM house in LA. So they're pretty successrul.
That's awesome
Supposedly they made this for $400, and the audio was recorded in a closet, and edited on a MAC in Kevin and Avi's kitchen table.
That $400 went a long ways for sure
Great to see you react to PTX and hope you have a great journey through their catalogue. Be sure to check out some of their live performances besides their studio videos.
For sure. Be sure to check out the playlist for the other Pentatonix reactions that have been done on this channel
"LOVE AGAIN " An original written by Pentatonix is similar to Daftpunk.
That one is on the list
KEVIN. Matt wasn't in the group yet. Avi left, amicably, because the increasing demands of their success was impacting his well being.
Yeah I got Kevin and Matt's names mixed up
Actual Kevin the beat boxer can sing the highest - there is a vocal video out and all group members say Kevin can hit the highest note -- doing great
No way! That's awesome! I actually recently reacted to a Pentatonix performance and Kevin was doing something I had never seen from Pentatonix before. That reaction should be coming out in March sometime
Recommend their cover of Kiss From A Rose.
I'll add it to the list
Even though you got Kevin’s name wrong 😂 that was one of the best reactions I’ve seen in a long time. Your insights were spot on in my opinion. Of course I have watched this video about a gazillion times. So you picking up things that most people don’t get right away. I was sincerely impressed. Subscribed for more PTX. I see that you’ve already done a bunch so I am going to go binge watch what you’ve already watched. They are the GOAT of a cappella groups. With five Grammy nominations three wins a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Over 21 million subscribers and over 6 billion views. Yeah I’d say they’re a pretty big deal. 🤗💋🥰
Haha yeah they've done a thing or 2. Also welcome in!
That's not Matt, it's Kevin the beatboxer. Matt is the bass who later replaced Avi.
Yeah I made a mistake with the names. I pinned a comment about it
and for the record, PTX does not do covers, They do upgrades.
For sure. An upgraded cover. Although this isn't so much a cover as it is a medley of songs put together
Please react to Pentatonix singing
LOVE AGAIN an original by PTX
It is on the list
You misidentified Kevin as Matt. Matt repllaced Avi. And Kevin did the visor because he cant't wear contacts.
Yeah that was caught pretty early on. I pinned a comment about it. Also that makes sense about the contacts. I can't touch my eyes either
⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡
You can tell that the contacts were irritating Avi. But they were really bad with Kevin. That’s why he is wearing the visor sunglasses.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense
You will find that for most of PTX covers they try to pay homage to the original while also making it their own. A good one that shows this is Bohemian Rhapsody. If you watch their Imagine video it will tell you a little bit about them. They also do some amazing original songs. Just an FYI if you get info about this group wrong you will hear from the Pentaholics. Don’t take it personal because PTX has a very strong fan base and they are just very protective of this group. You were correct about their using Utube to get their music out there but there is a much bigger story about there rise. It starts with Kirsty, Mitch, and Scott in high school together and Scott getting them together to audition for the Sing Off with the addition of AVI and Kevin. They won and were supposed to get a recording contract. They were dropped by the label before anything happened so they took to Utube and 3 Grammy’s and a star on the walk of fame later they are the most popular a cappella group to date. They made a cappella cool. If you go down this rabbit hole you will bring a lot of PTX fans with you.
For sure. Be sure to check out the playlist at the end. There's plenty of Pentatonix reactions in there
You shold check out the bass gang new acapella grop has bean out for 2 year now my favorit song is be prepared fom lion king so bass have love it
Interesting. I haven't heard of them before. I'll add them to the list
They invested $4oo into this video...
That went a long way
That is not Matt it's Kevin the beatboxer. Matt came after Avi left
Yeah I mixed up names. It got caught pretty early on and I pinned a comment about it
A Grammy
That's what it was. I couldn't remember what they won if they had won anything and I didn't want to say the wrong award
He was allergic to to the contacts
Oh yeah, that'll do it
you know these guys are iliterate when they say mitch is the one with most range. REALLY don't know what they are talking about.
Also funny how they don't seem to get the same right of Kevin even thou he was there from start and is one of the talked most besides mitch because of his high education, celo playing and beatbox combo
Illiteracy vs range pitch. Ok buddy
Kevin...Matt replaced Avi.
Yeah that mistake got realized pretty quick. I pinned a comment about it
Kevin not Matt....Matt is the new guy when Avi left in 2017. He is not in this one
Yeah I made a mistake with the names. I pinned a comment about it
Kevin...not Matt
Yeah I made a mistake with the names. I pinned a comment about it
Love your reaction but matt is kevin 😊
Yeah I realized the mistake pretty quickly after this got uploaded. I pinned a comment about it
Suggest you watch the "private performance" by PTX of this with no mics ua-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/v-deo.html
That's really cool. I probably won't react to it, at least right now, but I will definitely watch it when I have some spare time
