The person with the big hat is Mitch. You have been Mitch-slapped my friend. He is a counter-tenor. That is his real voice.
Some people say they hum better than a lot of well-known singers, can sing. Over 700 MILLION views. Give it a few more years and Hallelujah may crack the 1 billion barrier.
You just cracked the door on this group!!! Keep going, you won't be disappointed!!
The guy with the hat is Mitch. His countertenor voice has been described as once in a generation. Your reaction to his singing is called being Mitch slapped. It happens to us constantly.
Subscribed for more Pentatonix. Recommend their version of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Welcome to the OG's of A capella. 5 musically gifted aliens on earth. Prepare to be blown away by their plethora of amazzingness. Check out their live vevo performance of Kiss from a rose
Welcome to our world of adoring Pentatonix. I suggest you VERY SOON listen to and react to their official covers of: Sound of Silence, Daft Punk, The Prayer, Amazing Grace and especially BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY! Come on down the rabbit hole with us and again, welcome!
PTX isn't the gold standard of acapella they are the Platinum standard. 3 Grammys and 5 nominations. Subbed for more PTX. Use a lot of hash tags in your titles and descriptions. They did the National Anthem for the National Title game for the NCAA in 2023
See them today in Kiss from a Rose cover - the VEVO version.
Welcome to the long winding road of Pentatonix, you are in for the journey of your life 😊 There is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Mitch, the one with the large brim hat, has one of the rarest voices for a male, a counter tenor, & is absolutely spectacular! Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift! IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗
Just subbed for more Pentatonix. You have a deep rabbit hole to journey through. They have a very loyal fan base who will go on that journey with you. Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Kiss From a Rose, Oh Holy Night, Come Along, just to name a few. They have around 300 videos in their catalogue.💕💕
No Super Bowl (yet) but they did sing the National Anthem at the 2023 College Football Championship. Fire.
Their National Anthem at the College Football Championship was epic.
i didn't use to listen to a capella music either, still don't except for pentatonix. they are so talented individually and collectively that i listen to them even when they are singing music that 'isn't my type' because of how they sing it. they did just recently do the national anthem..and killed it. they have lots of original music that i really like.
Subbed for more Pentatonix. You should check out their live VEVO video of Kiss From A Rose and O Holy Night.
Check out Pentatonix The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Say Something.
O Holy Night, Amazing Grace, La La Latch, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Love Me When I Don’t (original), Coffee In Bed (original), Daft Punk, 90’s Dance Medley, Mary Did You Know, Mad World, That’s Christmas To Me (original). And those are just to start. Although you really can’t go wrong with any song of their’s that you choose. And remember, they don’t do covers, they do upgrades!
The members, in order of singing are:
Scott Hoying, baritone. He takes over bass when the bass person is leading
Avi Kaplan, bass. He left the group in 2017
Kirsten Maldonaldo, mezzo soprano
Mitch Grassi, counter tenor
Kevin Olusola, tenor & one of the best beatboxers you’ll hear
Matt Sallee, bass. Joined the group in 2017 when Avi left
They all have beautiful voices and amazing vocal ranges
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. They married 22/04/24!
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".
They actually did do the national anthem at the college football championship game. You should definitely look that one up and react to it!
Oh I love finding the newest pentaholic, welcome friend
Subscribe for more Pentatonix, they also have a star on Hollywood Star, only acapella to receive star..they never disappoint
Welcome to PTX. Top of their world entertainment that tours from Singapore to Tokyo and Asia, then a break, then UK and Europe, break and final leg through the USA.
Can't Hold Us will give you their rap, along with Kevin's arraignment of O Come All Ye Faithfull with African vibes.
They made an announcement today that they are going on tour again. Kirstin just married to Ben -- but they are professionals.
I fear that this WILL be blocked, sorry to say.
Pentatonix loves UA-cam reactions and reactors; they're well aware that reaction videos have helped to make them the success that they are today. Unfortunately, their copyrights are owned by their publisher, RCA, and RCA doesn't share their love of reaction videos. RCA is notorious for making copyright claims that get reaction videos taken down.
The claims all seem to be about the video, not the music, and there are several strategies people use to keep their reactions up. Some people only react to live performances. This works, but it's limiting. In general, Pentatonix is as good live as they are in their official releases, but that's musically; there are a few of their official videos that have important video effects that can't be duplicated live. The most obvious one is "Imagine," but several others spring to mind. Also, if you only react to live performances you can't react to any "Behind the Scenes" or "Making of" videos.
Another strategy is to pause the video frequently. This is probably a good idea (be sure to rewind a bit whenever you do this), but the definition of "frequent" is subjective so I don't recommend it as your only protection. What seems to work best is to slightly mask the video, combined with frequent pauses. Some people put a translucent "PENTATONIX" or "COPYRIGHT" over the video; others put what appears to be a window with raindrops on it over the video. Remember, the pentaholics are here to see your reaction, not the video - we've seen the video numerous times already. We only need to be able to see enough of it to be sure what exactly you're reacting to, in real time.
That powerful bass was Avi Kaplan (second to sing. Long hair/beanie) hes no longer with the group (solo now) but Matt works well with them now ...more poppy
Mitch, with the hat, can hit high notes. ALL ARE AMAZING.
They did sing at Superbowl
5 BILLION+ likes for all their upgrades of music and originals. They are the Kings (and Queen) and the numbers say it's not close even though the others are Very talented.
You're down the rabbit hole now! Pentatoniix are brilliant. Everything they do will blow you away.
Welcome to the GOATs of a capella!!! You have a very amazing and enjoyable journey ahead of you if you stick with them. Covers, originals…..they do a variety of genres. Daft Punk next (old vid. but 🤯)! Perfect, yes 😁.
Nice to find a new reactor to my fave group. PTX has a massive catalogue of songs, lots of covers and originals.
Members:
1st singer: Scott Hoying, baritone.
2nd singer: Avi Kaplan, bass
3rd singer: Kirstin ( Kirstie) Maldonado, alto soprano
4the singer: Mitch grassi, counter tenor
5th member: Kevin Olusola, beatboxer, cellist, tenor.
Some suggestions: 90's Dance Medley, Daft Punk medley, Bohemian Rhapsody, Kiss From A Rose, Evolution of Michael Jackson, New Rules/I Am That Somebody, Shallow, Coffee In Bed (original) , Sing (original).
Pentatonix - Bohemian Rapsody is AMAZING
Great Reaction -- More PTX Please!
This was just the beginning! Check out their take on „daft punk“ or their „90ies dance medley“ to be completely blown away!
I have been listening to them go 6 years now.
You may want to check out their Grammy Award Winning "Daft Punk Medley" as well as other covers that they have done and their own work.
Wow. That was a great Mitch slapped face!
Pentatonix won the show "The Sing Off" in 2011. The record label that was tied to that stupidly dropped them. However, it was probably the best thing to ever happen to them. They have a HUGE fan base! There is not one song that they don't nail!!! Those who love them are called Pentaholics. :) Glad you're enjoying them...welcome to the Pentaholic Club!
You seemed to enjoy the bass singer ( and the rest of the group as well) he is Avi Kaplan. Avi left the group for personal reasons in 2017 and now has a stellar solo career where he sings a mixture of Folk, Americana, old time Rock with some Blues and Jazzy tones mixed in all the while using his entire 5 octave range. He did record some music while still with PTX under Avriel and the Sequoias. His first release after leaving PTX is Change on the Rise and it is amazing. His first solo album is Floating on a Dream, and he just released a new EP Feel Alright.
Pentatonix and Home Free won their respective seasons on NBC's a cappella group competition, The Sing Off. Both groups are phenomenal, and they are friends. You saw Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix collaborate with Home Free on "Ring of Fire".
For your next a cappella reaction Home Free's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" could follow this well; astounding harmonies amid a spectacular setting. Anyone will feel the spirit, religious or not.
This is not an acapella group this is The Acapella group. Just subscribed for some more Pentatonix. P.s. it's a Mitch
I subscribed as well but will only rate or listen to those you do of Pentatonix. 🙂
@@occamsrazor5376 At least you are honest about it.
Yep He's a guy. U just got "Mitch slapped"! He is amazing. They all have unique abilities that will blow ur mind. 🎵💕
Welcome aboard! They are truly and always amazing when they share.
I loved this reaction. Seeing your growing appreciation as the song progressed was fun. Your Mitch Slap was perfect! I'm so happy to see one more person experience this incomparable band. The whole world deserves to hear them!
Subbed for more PTX!!!!
Heh. Always fun listening to a rookie meeting Mitch.
Check out their Grammy winning Daft Punk medley. And after you are sure it was all done in the editing room, find the version where they performed it while lined up in a room and recorded on a cell phone. The recording isn’t great but there’s no editing there.
1. Pentatonix named themselves after the pentatonic scale, a scale with five (penta) tones, just as Pentatonix has five (Penta) singers.
2. The members of Pentatonix. In this video we have:
• First verse: Tall blond guy, Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. In describing a man's vocal range, "lyric" means that the actual range exceeds the nominal range. In Scott's case, he sings everywhere from about the middle of a normal bass range through most of a normal tenor range. Probably five or six octaves. Scott typically takes over the bass harmony line when their bass has a solo.
• Second verse: Bearded guy wearing a stocking cap, Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo - his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances - but his range extends to somewhere in the middle of a normal tenor range.
• Third verse: The only woman in Pentatonix, Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado. Kirstin sings everywhere from a low alto through coloratura soprano, the highest female range. And she has fantastic whistle notes on top of that. Lately Pentatonix has begun referring to her as an "alto soprano."
• Fourth verse: Guy wearing a wide-brimmed hat, Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), natural contratenor. No one is certain whether Mitch can sing higher than Kirstin or Kirstin can sing higher than Mitch; I suspect that it varies from day to day, though everyone agrees that Kirstin has better whistle notes. Mitch is known for his ethereally beautiful (some say "angelic") high vocals. Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, said Mitch has "one of the prettiest voices I have ever heard in my life." Mitch switches seamlessly from chest voice to mixed voice to head voice. He has a range of just over six octaves. And we call that stunned look people get the first time they realize that the beautiful high voice is coming from a man, "being Mitch slapped." You've just been Mitch slapped. Don't let it worry you; it's happened to all of us, generally more than once, because Mitch is full of surprises.
• The fifth member of Pentatonix (PTX for short) is Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth) beatboxer extraordinaire. There may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. We don't get to hear Kevin sing as often as we'd like because he's generally too busy being the entire percussion section, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally descends to the uppermost reaches of a baritone range. He's also known for the beauty of his falsetto, which I believe goes higher than Mitch can. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. When he was a teenager he performed at Carnegie Hall twice, once on the cello and once on the saxophone. He beatboxes while playing the cello, which he refers to as "celloboxing." He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had already been accepted to Yale Medical School when he gave up his dream of becoming a surgeon to pursue his dream of becoming a professional beatboxer instead. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs the whole planet seems like a brighter place.
In 2017 Avi found it necesssary to leave Pentatonix, for a variety of personal reasons. He has since gone on to have a very successful solo career, and I strongly recommend subscribing to his UA-cam channel, which you can find here: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic
Avi's replacement joined in either late 2017 or early 2018 (depending on how you figure it); you'll see him in a lot of their videos:
• The second black member of Pentatonix is Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass. In addition to being the newest member of Pentatonix Matt is also the youngest member, and I'm told that bass voices improve with age. Matt's range seems to be growing on a daily basis right now. His current lowest note seems to be A1, which just barely counts as basso profundo, though not the blowing out speakers variety. But on his high end Matt reaches nearly the top of a normal tenor range. To find his current range I recommend listening to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah." You can find one here: ua-cam.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/v-deo.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, which is huge, probably the greatest range of any member of Pentatonix, past or present.
W🔥🔥
Adding to what wbw910 stated below they also have received their Star on the Hollywood walk of Fame on February 2024 (the only acapella group to do so) , Thank you for the reaction and hope many more to come.
of all their masterpieces, this is the one i came across first, seeing others experience this song for their first time is special 😃 when you hear Kirsty sing her voice is great and then Mitch comes along after her and blows peoples minds 😍
You know they did the anthem at the superbowl. You should hear the live version of this. They also did bohemian rhapsody. It's amazing.
Subbed for more PTX reactions.
You have just barely scratched the surface. They are that good!!!!
Stopped by for the Mitch slap...I wasn't disappointed!!! Subbed for more PTX !
head down the PTX rabbit hole, my friend. They are world class! I've seen them live 3 times- even better live!
Amazing Grace
12 days of Christmas
Carol of the Bells.
And their 2 new song
Subscribed for more Pentatonix! Thanks for reacting!!
Mitch (the guy in the big hat) is a counter-tenor, generally the male singer with the highest vocal range. A counter-tenor is generally considered to have about the same range as a female alto (slightly lower than Kirstin, the female in the band, who is a mezzo-soprano), but Mitch goes even higher - he and Kirstin have ranges that almost completely overlap each other.
I would suggest watching their live version and see just how good they are. The live version sounds just as good as their Official Video. My favorite version was the Shrek version until I heard this one. I became an instant fan of theirs.
This had been seen 750Million times
You need to watch more...I love them!!!
That's Mitch... he's a true counter tenor.
Welcome to PTX! Subbed for more. Much love from South Africa!
You just got "Mitch slapped"!
They are a group of 4 men and I woman. They do all their own arrangement and they do cover as well as have recorded original materials. I suggest their versions of Bohemian Rhapsody, Sounds of Silence and Carol of the Bells,
Bohemian Rhapsody, Amazing Grace, "Daft punk medley".
hoping to see more of your reactions - welcome to the rabbit hole
Pentatonix are incredibly good! Great reaction ~ new sub!
I really enjoyed your first PTX reaction! Yes, they are that good. Subbed for more! 🙂

OMG! A new Pentatonix reactor! I just subbed to join you on your journey down the PTX rabbit hole 🕳! Enjoy! 💖
BTW - The guy singing the 2nd verse is Avi Kaplan. He's the one who was singing with Home Free on your reaction to "Ring of Fire"!
⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡
Subbed for more PTX.

Just subbed for more PTX 🎉
Oh bow I live a new reaction! Subbed and liked for more .Imagine is a really great one where Kevin,the beatboker sings. He is my favorite since Avi (bass with beard) left in 2017 and they replaced him with Matt who can't sing.
Honey, you ain't heard nothing yet. The can rap, too. Don't stop with this one. Daft Punk, Can't Stop Us, Sing, live. Good start. Great reaction
If you ever want to check out how awesome the beat boxer is, check out their Kevin's 5th video. Amazing.
If you continue down this rabbit hole, be prepared to get a LOT of new subscriptions; pentaholics (as Pentatonix fans call ourselves) love reaction videos to our favorite singers, and when the algorithm is working properly new ones automatically pop up in our feed.
A bit of basic terminology that should make things easier:
• pentaholic = Pentatonix fan
• PTX = abbreviation for Pentatonix (it makes UA-cam searches a good deal easier to do)
• the trio = Mitch, Scott, and Kirstin. These three are childhood friends and did, indeed, have a trio in high school, which they unimaginatively named "The Trio." We continue to think of them that way.
• Mitch slap = the reaction to anything fantastic that Mitch does.
• Avi-lanche = just like a Mitch slap, but coming from Avi.
• KO = just like a Mitch slap or Avi-lanche, but coming from Kevin Olusola. Be aware that one never becomes immune to Mitch slaps, Avi-lanches, or KOs, or the similar feelings we get from Kirstin, Scott, or Matt (even though we don't have specific names for those).
Recommendations:
You can't go wrong listening to anything Pentatonix has released; it's all gorgeous. But all pentaholics have our own personal favorites that we like to recommend. These are some of my favorites:
• "Hallelujah" ( a recent live performance, with Matt: ua-cam.com/video/FqphhPapkoc/v-deo.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL )
• "Imagine" (the official video)
• "The Prayer"
• "Bohemian Rhapsody"
• "Sound of Silence"
• "Run To You" (an original, written by Avi and Kevin)
• "Happy Now" (another original)
• "Daft Punk Medley" (their first Grammy winner)
• "O Come All Ye Faithful"
• "O Holy Night" (they did a totally new recording for their 2023 Christmas album; you can find the official video here: ua-cam.com/video/ReJAU2mXm8w/v-deo.htmlsi=upj2Q3vLqigVEtgm )
• "Pure Imagination / Christmas Time is Here" (preferably the live Vevo recording)
• "Kiss From a Rose" (preferably the live Vevo recording)
• "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
• "The Lucky Ones" (an original, written by Scott)
• "Thank You" (an original, written by Scott and his then fiancé, now husband, Mark Manio Hoying, shortly after the end of COVID lockdown, about how much easier it was to get through that time because they were together)
• "The Kevin Show/Kevin's Fifth." This is a live feed from a concert they gave in Owensboro, Kentucky, Kevin's home town: ua-cam.com/video/DbCasvcNx78/v-deo.html and this is the very special performance of "Kevin's Fifth" (without "The Kevin Show") from Kevin's birthday in 2022: ua-cam.com/video/7m0g7xThIWs/v-deo.htmlsi=99F7iG5qkdgPCm43
Additionally, IF you're familiar with _"The Wizard Of Oz"_ (the 1939 movie starring Judy Garland), I recommend "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)": ua-cam.com/video/QkVeKb2igrg/v-deo.html If you've never seen the movie it won't make sense, so take care of that first. One advantage to reacting to "The Wizard of Ahhhs" is that you won't need to obscure the video to avoid copyright claims. Most of Pentatonix's copyrights are owned by their publisher, RCA, and RCA is notorious for getting reaction videos taken down over copyright issues, but the copyrights for "The Wizard of Ahhhs" are owned by Todrick Hall, and Todrick seems to be more interested in good publicity than in stomping on innocent reactors. (I regret to say that Todrick has gotten a lot of bad publicity since he made "The Wizard of Ahhhs," for very good reasons; he appears to be something of a jerk. But making copyright claims against other UA-camrs isn't one of his vices.)

Subbing for more PTX!! You are in for a fabulous time!! ❤
Welcome aboard!
You have been exposed to Mitch Grassi, the magnificent countertenor. Due to his exquisite voice and amazing versatility, you can expect to be "Mitch-slapped" whenever he sings.
And to see their live version of Hallelujah: ua-cam.com/video/haFHrfmfHbc/v-deo.html It will blow you away to see them in person. They are INCREDIBLE.
Subbed for more a capella! PTX are fantastic, and you should definitely, thoroughly explore this rabbit hole.
And then, you must try out Voiceplay and Home Free. Two other spectacular groups (I would argue that voiceplay is even better than pentatonix, but that's just my personal opinion).
Enjoy your exploration!
You have to check out their Daft punk. It won a grammy. It is unbelievable!
I already did a reaction, it was worth the Grammy it's that good
@@therealLeoJofficial may I suggest evolution of music. I could suggest all of them, they are all that good!
Came for the Mitch slap, was not disappointed.
Someone just got Mitch slapped!!!
Subbed for PTX!
PTX doesn't do covers... they do upgrades!
U have to check there version of Mary did u know dude it makes me cry like a baby for my lord JESUS!!!
Check out their Daft Punk youll love it
it's 7.4M views
If you continue with this group you will need to put a filter over the video for copyright infringement. Their label (not them) are very strict and give reactors headaches. Enjoyed your reaction and have subscribed for more Pentatonix (PTX for short). May I suggest their Official video cover of John Lennon’s Imagine?
That is Mitch in the big hat. When people first hear him they stop breathing. It's called being Mitch Slapped.
You just got Mitch slapped! If you think that was a high voice, you should listed to The Prayer. But welcome to the rabbit hole!!
You read the likes wrong. The number is 600 MILLION + !
😲
Subscribing for more Pentatonix
Pe
