    Scott has the greatest range. When the Matt or Avi were singing he was doing bass and he has a great high range. I still think Mitch has the smoothest voice. :)

    Y'know they're basically just showing off at this point. The way they can hit perfect chords like it's nothing, the way they can sing in perfect unison like one person is singing through them all, the way the 'dums' at the beginning were so perfectly coordinate that it sounded flawless. Then they pack all that emotion in and hit us in the forehead with it. What a great group

    Pentatonix puts a great New sound to Simon and Garfunkel song that they wrote after the cold war with Cuba. I can still remember the 'duck and cover' training we as children went through to prevent being blinded by a nuclear blast, and protecting our eyes from exploding school glass windows. That time is past, but now we have a leader of another country having trial runs with launching missiles.
    A song for a new generation about seeing an atomic blast with hundredsof thousands walking without seeing, hearing and songs that will never be shared with only words written on subway walls and tenement halls to remind us of what humanity has done in the past. They will be seen by future generations As Words of the Prophets. As vital as it was then, still as vital now. Pentatonix really rocks to have this message told.

    Hi, Brad, thanks for sharing this with us! As a singer and song writer you can really appreciate how brilliant the arrangements are for some of PTX best tracks. I've been amazed by Scott's vocal range since someone pointed out that he covered the bass line in Hallelujah when Avi Kaplan was doing the solo; at the other end of it check out their cover of Ariana Grande's problem where he takes the high lead away from both Mitch and Kirsti with a killer head voice (although Mitch rapping on the track is something to behold and Kirsti looks as good as she sounds in blond hair). The way they move between unison and multi-part harmony to provide emphasis, their swells, all of the amazing bag of tricks they bring to each work is stunning, even more so when you realize that they create those arrangements organically between the five members without a full time arranger or composer to assist (okay, they get a little help now and again from Ben Bram of Glee, but c'mon). Have a great day and stay healthy (and sane - that's seems to be the harder part these days). Cheers!

    Simon and Garfunkel created and made this song a classic, but PTX took it to a whole other level.
    Hey, Brad, you've done a great number of PTX covers, but you've missed one of the BEST they've ever done: "Bohemian Rhapsody." What's up with that? Don't walk. Run!
    Thanks, Brad. Love your reactions.

  • @KajiVocals
    @KajiVocals 4 роки тому +146

    I know I'm gonna get hate for this, but I truly believe that Matt is the most technically developed singer out of PTX (and Avi in the old lineup). Great lows, great highs among many other things. He could probably sing both bass, lead and tenor without much trouble.

    • @joshuanickle3333
      @joshuanickle3333 4 роки тому +50

      I totally agree!!! Matt has been kinda bashed as not being as good of bass as Avi since he joined but I think that he definitely is a really good bass, but just in different ways than Avi. I agree, no one can replace what Avi could do, but no one can replace what Matt can do either in my opinion. And yes Matt totally rocks some tenor notes in this song!!!

    • @kristinhowk8231
      @kristinhowk8231 4 роки тому +30

      I’d like to point out that he’s the only member of the group who completed a 4 yr music degree. (I know Avi studied opera, but I never heard if he had a degree or what it was in, if he did have one.)

    • @lauriep2018

    Scott has always had an amazing range. He did the same thing in Hallelujah when Avi took the lead. And I know how much trouble I'm about to get in (sorry Pentaholics) but I am starting to realize that Matt is a better singer overall than Avi.

    • @ProudAmerican1829
      @ProudAmerican1829 4 роки тому +15

      I don't know about that. Matt is a great singer but there are a few things that set them apart, and in my opinion, make Avi the better singer. Matt's lower range doesn't project as much as Avi's does. I'm always having to strain to hear Matt, but Avi's voice pierces through easily, filling out the low end more fully than Matt can.
      Avi can sing overtones, two notes at once, which Matt cannot. This added a 6th voice to the group, filling out the top end when they wanted more harmonies, while not losing the bass.
      Avi also has a wider singing range than Matt, and I believe he beats him on both ends, the low end especially.
      Matt does have a soulful voice, but so does Avi, who I think has a richer, warmer tone that can melt even the coldest heart.
      These are, of course, merely my own opinions and observations. I like Matt. I'm not saying he's terrible or that they should have chosen someone else. It would be impossible to fill Avi's shoes, he's one-of-a-kind. I just miss what Avi brought to the songs that I feel are now somewhat lacking.

      I will say I love the blend of matt and scott's voices. Especially in can you feel the love tonight. Matt's voice adds something different to the groups overall sound and I like it. Although his bass doesn't project as much as Avi's, it still sounds so good with the group. And so what if Matt can't sing overtones... they're doing just fine without it.

    • @Kmskinner83
      @Kmskinner83 4 роки тому +9

      I wouldn’t say one is a better singer than the other. Because I find them both equally talented and beautiful. But, I think Matt fits in better with the group than Avi. His energy and tone fits the pop sound they are going for more. Whilst, Avi is doing amazing singing his own music as a solo artist.

    I'm not a big fan of PTX but they do their thing very well and you really can't compare them to any other accapella group. Every group has their own lane. PTX is known for doing pop and doing it well. Home Free my favorite leans towards Country with a side of pop, soul and humor. Voice Play was on the sing off with Home Free .... so I got to see them preform. I enjoyed seeing them and I've watched some of they're videos. They're bass singer Geoff did the arrangement of Elvira for The Oakridge Boys and Home Free. I have several songs by PTX and Superfruit, but Home Free is it for me and I'm very happy that you share them with us also. Stay safe and have a great evening

    I like MAYBEBOP better at this song, although they are only 4 male Singers they did it really impressive. What's on top, they are way longer in the business than Pentatonix, are making a living of it and won many prizes even in the U. S..
    Last award for MAYBEBOP was 2020: RARB, (USA) „Group of the Decade“ at the RARB Picks of the Decade: 2010 - 2019 ( www.rarb.org/picks/2010-2019/ )
    Who or what is RARB? --> The Recorded A Cappella Review Board

    If you like Kevin from Pentatonix you should check out the video of him at age 17 at Carnegie Hall in a program called from the top I think you will be pleasantly surprised
