How many songs did you recognize the first time you listened to this song? How many did you miss? Edit: I went ahead and updated the link to the video in the description to the actual original video. The video I reacted to had the ending chopped off and at the time I did not know it was from a fan account
Todrick Hall is a very talented singer, dancer, etc. This production was his idea and he got Pentatonix on board. He grew up in Arlington TX, like Kirstin, Mitch and Scott, though he's a few years older. He has also been a background dancer for Taylor Swift and was given producing(?) credit on her video for Calm Down. You should check out his collaboration BLACK AND WHITE with SuperFruit and Kirstin.
I love that you recognize so many of the references to the 1939 movie with Judy Garland which so many reactors miss. That's remarkable for such a young guy. I missed most of the modern songs they used to recreate the story, but their lyrics did fit well, and as you said, the costumes were fabulous. Kirstie WAS Dorothy, and even Kevin made a passable Toto, though I would have loved to hear him bark. Great reaction!
The song list is impressive. Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Wizard of Oz [Dorothy] Blown Away - Carrie Underwood [Pentatonix] Wide Awake - Katy Perry [Dorothy] Lollipop - Chordettes [Munchkins] Shoes - Liam Kyle [Glinda the Good] Short D*ck Man - Salt N Pepa [Glinda the Good] Cups - Anna Kendrick (originally by Lulu and The Lampshades) [Dorothy] Thinking About You - Frank Ocean [Scarecrow] Damaged - Danity Kane [Tin Man / Pentatonix] Can't Be Tamed - Miley Cyrus [Cowardly Lion] I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift [Dorothy] Power - Kanye West (the line '21st century Schizoid Man' was originally from the song 21st Century? Schizoid Man by King Crimson) [Wizard Todrick Hall / Pentatonix] Teeth - Lady Gaga [Wicked Witch / Pentatonix] Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue [Dorothy / cast] Home - Daughtry [Wizard / cast] Home - Phillip Phillips [Scarecrow / Tin Man cast] Home - Michael Buble [Cowardly Lion / cast]
I can never resist watching a new reaction to this video! Todrick Hall did a great job of putting this one together and they all seemed to enjoy it. Definitely Kevin as Toto, which I've always thought was pretty cute! Outstanding job, great reaction!! #wizardofahhs
todrick went to the same high school as mitch, kristie and scott but was a few years ahead of them. todrick is a HUGE fan of the wizard of oz. he even has a room in is house dedicated to the wizard od oz. the dog playing toto is actually todrick's dog toto. there is a bts video,. todrick is CRAZY talented. check out his 4 Beyonce which is a mash up of beyonce songs. beauty and the beat boots, beauty and the beat. his most "commericial" hit is hair, lips, heels and nails. he most always has a bts, he does a song with rupaul called low which is based on the wizard of oz.
Todrick Hall grew up in Arlington, Texas, as did Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott, though Todrick is six or seven years older than the trio. But because of this, Todrick and the trio were friends. There's a fairly complete Wikipedia article about Todrick, which you can find here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Todrick_Hall Note that the title of the video is "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)." That's because this was Todrick's project from beginning to end; he just talked #Pentatonix into appearing in it. Todrick is a huge fan of _The Wizard of Oz_ (some people might say he's obsessed with it). The little dog Kirstin is holding in the first scene was Todrick's dog, and its name actually was Toto. Todrick published this to his RUclips channel just two months after Kirstin's twenty-first birthday. At the time, Pentatonix's publisher was Madison Gate; they hadn't even recorded "Daft Punk" (their first Grammy winner) yet. The song choices were Todrick Hall's, though I suspect Pentatonix did the arranging. The costumes were rented from a costume company. Personally, I'm impressed that they had a Lollipop Guild costume available for someone who's 6'4" tall. Yes, once Dorothy arrives in Ahhhs, Kevin is playing Toto - they needed him to have a reason to be in every scene, and they were running out of characters. Note that for a dog, Toto sure seems to be doing a lot of singing. Kirstin played ALL the female characters, Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Wicked Witch of the West Side. But because Dorothy also needed to be in the scenes with both witches they arranged it so that in those scenes Dorothy would be seen only from behind. That way she could be played by a stand-in. The cup song is named "The Cup Song." Personally, I'd like to know who was performing it. Note that The Scarecrow wants a brain, and Scott sings "Do you think about me still?"; the Tin Man wants a heart, and Mitch sings about needing time to heal the holes in his heart; and the Cowardly Lion wants courage, so Avi sings about how he can't be tamed, covering up the cowardice with bravado. BTW, did you notice the gold bricks scattered on the road behind Avi? You can find the list of songs, as well as the complete lyrics, here: genius.com/Todrick-hall-the-wizard-of-ahhhs-lyrics There's an excellent Behind the Scenes video for this, which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/C6yQa3oC7gM/видео.html Good quotation from "Wizard of Ahhhs - Behind the Scenes": Todrick: "We're, I guess, halfway through the shoot day for The Wizard of Ahhhs, and," (sound of vocalizing off-screen) "and Mitch is singing in the bathroom."
@@tamarasmith9060 You are most welcome. Actually, I found them for myself and saved them in a text file so I could find them again when I want them. 😉 From there it's a small leap to including them in RUclips comments. I adore "Wizard of Ahhhs." It's funny; it introduced me to songs I'd never heard before; and, oddly enough, it's helped me in the grieving process since my husband's suicide a bit over two years ago.
You'll notice in the scene with the Wicked WItch, you never see Dorothy's face. I think it was a stand in. Body language doesnt look like Kirstin, and she was definitely the Witch. She was Glinda the Good Witch too, in the Lollipop scene, Watching you watching them, it occurred to me that you might like their Home medley (recorded during the pandemic lockdown, each of them from their own homes - the label got them all recording setups ... they actually did several songs that way, all great), and then Making Christmas from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," where you'll see/hear Kirstin being a Wicked Witch again.
It a Todrick Hall song!! Pentatonix is the featured guest artist.This is a Todrick creation all the way through...from the song choices,costumes, set and Wizard of Oz is one of his favorite movies...he has several songs revolving around the movie,and he put this together. He asked PTX to work with him on it,but its Toddy's baby.🙂🎶❤✌
maybe watch the end of the video so you can see Todrick thanking PTX for doing the production with him. Todrick wrote the arrangement and produced the video, so, ya know....
@@AceofBadeReacts This is the original video. It is real sad that there are people out there altering #TodrickHall 's video and removing the actual creator from it. ruclips.net/video/QkVeKb2igrg/видео.html
Think the two times Kirstie plays the witches, i think it's a body double playing Dorothy. There is a behind the scenes vid ruclips.net/video/C6yQa3oC7gM/видео.htmlsi=y-dv8OvCmXBPs4Jm
Liked your reaction. Yeah, that was a stand in when Kirstin was playing the witches. You should have watched the outro that explains Todrick Hall’s roll in all of this. Recommend Todrick Hall’s Black & White featuring The Trio.
First of all, I’m a very big Pentatonix. But you have to give her credit. Do you not know how to read? This is a Todrick Hall I can send Pentatonix I can send the beginning. This was during the time Pentatonix had them and they had nobody so there’s no way they can do production. After all, Daft Punk. Would you like it if someone stole credit question

Wow it sounds like he has done a lot. I'll add that one to the list
Kirstie is completely in her element here.
She nailed it

Awesome. Thank you for that

I have read that Kirstie's twin sister was the stand in during the scenes where two of her characters were on screen simultaneously.
I didn't know she had a twin. That's pretty cool
Kirstin does not have a twin. It was a body double/stand-in.
@@vidsorama2 Okay, my bad. Was a comment I read and was too lazy to investigate..
You'll notice in the scene with the Wicked WItch, you never see Dorothy's face. I think it was a stand in. Body language doesnt look like Kirstin, and she was definitely the Witch.

Yeah quite a few people mentioned body double and some mentioned her twin sister. I did react to Making Christmas back in October

At the time I didn't know. I thought I had grabbed this from Pentatonix's channel and it was just a fan account
This is Todricks video featuring PTX.
Yes it is. The title and pinned comment have been corrected showing this
Great job. Subbed for more PTX.
Welcome in! Be sure to check out the Pentatonix playlist for all those reactions
maybe watch the end of the video so you can see Todrick thanking PTX for doing the production with him. Todrick wrote the arrangement and produced the video, so, ya know....
There is nothing at the end of the video. It ends right where it ended in this video

oh a body double makes sense rather than a green screen
Do check their latest videos Kissed From a Rose or On, Holy Night.
90s Dance Medley is outstanding and fun.
Those have been added to the list
