Kevin’s “cello boxing” never ceases to amaze me. And I love Kirsten’s lower register. They definitely upgraded this cover- as usual!
I agree. Kevin's celloboxing is amazing. This is my favorite version of Shallow.😊
Pentatonix
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 RUclips, 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 RUclips 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 RUclips), 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 RUclips, 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 cove r 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.
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. 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 were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen, but didn't win.
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!
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.
There is a reason why they say, PTX don‘t just do covers, they do „upgrades“!
There are a lot of videos about them. If you want to know what they're like in the studio, watch The Recording of Evergreen. They're flipping amazing
They do have some rare songs with cello and piano and you see the instrument in the video. Maybe react to: Daft Punk, ( won Emmy) Can't Hold us, Jolene with Dolly Parton ( won Emmy) Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy( won Emmy), a ballet with no vocals, Havana, Imagine, Sing( an original) , the Prayer, so many to choose.
What I like, is even when they add instruments it's very stripped back, usually only only one or two, with PTX filling it out with their voices. Even with instruments, it's mostly a capella! Gorgeous!
In my opinion, the best way to get to know them from the beginning is to watch Season 3 of The Sing Off. They literally become who they are on stage as well as sharing a bunch of their backstory without ruining future songs by watching clips over and over. It's about 12 videos but you could make it 6 if you did double plays. You get to watch them start a little rough and literally perfect themselves on stage. Just a suggestion. There are many videos out there but a lot have spoilers if you haven't seen a good share of their songs yet. Scott, Mitch, and Kirsty are only 19 at that time. Watching those is when I stopped just liking their music and fell in love with them. Blessings
After you watch The Prayer you should check out their Recording of Evergreen. It shows their creative process. But I do agree watching the beginners guide would be helpful. They’re an epic group of amazing people that could be stars on their own, together they’re perfect.
I love this so much more than the original. The emotion and passion comes through so strong!!!
You could react to The Sing Off, this is where the started and grew to what we know now. There are 12 songs that they do for the show.
You should watch their performances from The Sing Off season 3.
Scott, Mitch and Kirstie all went to school together. They are the originals.
The best Pentatonix history is a 15-minute fan-made video called "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix" -- ruclips.net/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/видео.html Two things, though -- 1) It's made up of short clips from PTX official videos, documentaries, TV appearances, etc. so there could be spoilers for future reactions. But I personally think they are so short they won't spoil much, and you might get an idea for future reactions. 2) It stops around 2019, so doesn't cover the videos, albums and tours since then. Somebody needs to do a part II.
Lots of spoilers if you haven’t listened to a lot of their music
PENTATONIX'S TRANSFORMATION IS TURNING HEADS is the most recent video history of the band that I'm aware of. The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't mention Ben Bram who has been an important, behind the scenes, part of PTX since the beginning.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful Pentatonix video. I love to watch Kevin play his cello and beatbox at the same time. He always seems to enjoy it so much while still holding that perfect pose for playing the cello. They were all incredible in this video.
watch their journey on the Sing-Off. you'll find them on YT
Gotta say, I am not a fan of the original at all - not at all. But with Kevin’s cello and percussion and the way that Kirstie brings all she has to this performance, I like this version. Their original, Love Me When I Don’t, carries a similar message of supporting one another. You can get a lot of their backstory and how they developed as a group by watching their Sing-Off performances, as others have said. They absolutely shine performing Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On and also Dog Days Are Over from Florence and the Machine. You’ll get a kick out of seeing them so young, too. Loved your reaction, as always. Peace …
Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix tells their origin story.
Yeah that's a good one but has a lot of spoilers for someone who hasn't gotten far into them yet.
@@NerdyNanaSimulations It may whet his appetite for more PTX
Kirstin, Mitch and Scott grew up in Arlington, Texas and went to school together where all three participated in musical theatre and Choir. They entered a singing contest “The Sing Off” where they eventually found Kevin and Avi. Great story! They won the contest which included $200,000. And a recording contract. They all moved out to California to start their dream career when the recording contract was cancelled! They were devastated! But got smart and started making You Tube videos and the rest is history! That was 11, 12 years ago.😊
Scott, Mitch and Kirsty were known as the Trio in Jr and High school. Scott and Mitch have known each other since they were 10yrs old. Kirsty joined them in Jr.High. So they know each other's voice and vocals. Kevin and the original bass Avi joined them 1- 2 days before they went on the competition The Sing Off which they won.
The Sing Off. That's the best way to see their "birth" & beginning. Each performance has a clip before & judge comments after. Epic.
There is only one instrument (Kevin’s cello) Scott and Mitch have known each other since they were 8. Not exactly sure when Kirstie joined but the 3 of them ( the trio) have been singing together since at least high school. Then Scott got the idea to audition for The Sing-off (an acapella singing competition) but they needed a minimum of 5 people. Avi (the original bass) was a friend of a friend and Scott found Kevin on RUclips. You should definitely react to their Sing-off journey. ❤❤❤❤
Kirstin actually met Mitch before she met Scott. They were all in youth theater in the Dallas suburbs as kids, but as is common in these kinds of programs, not every kid was in every show. They didn't end up in school together until high school: I believe Kirstin went to a girls' school through 8th grade.
And can we give it up for our man Kevin beatboxing while playing that cello? Cello-boxing.
There is a documentary
It’s always ok to rewind PTX!
We complete each other.
Yes. There's a "Beginners Guide To Pentatonix". It's great. Ckeck it out.
They started by competing on the singoff, an acapella competition which they won in 2011. If you watch the first episode it will answer some questions
A great "behind the scenes" mini documentary on the making of their "Evergreen" album is a great way to watch their "process", and how they create and collaborate.
The Recording of Evergreen (Dec 22, 2021) - ruclips.net/video/M60SKKkQLqo/видео.html
Yes! Highly recommend as well. Definitely shows a lot of their process in regards to arrangements.
There is a live at the Hollywood Bowl 2022 version of this. I personally like it better than this one.
It's always a treat when we get to see Kevin Cello Box
Please react to the Sing Off (Season 3), there's 12 performances + the Finale where they announce the winner (spoilers, they won). Be sure to find the ones with the pre-post interviews and judge commentary, they tell a lot of history in that show of how they got their start and everything!
Don't feel bad about replaying (or cursing, for that matter...shows you are real). Sometimes, replaying stops the blocking as well as the filtering. I agree with Nerdy Nana - The Sing Off performances really show their evolution as a group. The first episode tells the story of how they added Kevin and Avi just a few days before their initial on-air performance. Find the ones that show the judges comments, as well. The judges on that season were Ben Folds, Sara Bareilles and Shawn Stockman, from Boys II Men. It's a fun trip...and we Pentaholics never tire from watching it!
The beginner's guide to ptx only covers up to 2018 or 2019 maybe even 2017 im not to sure, i think they have a more updated one that is the tranformation of ptx is turning heads or something like that, i will say if you want to find out a lot about them probably best to watch both cause both cover different things that the other one doesn't, obviously up to you at the end of the day your channel we are just here to watch with you and support also get your opinion on the music.
Wikipedia tells you everything about each member and as a group. It’s a great story!
I like the original, and Lady Gaga sings very well, but I like this version better, the cello gives something power to the song, maybe is because is a sad song, and cello are good for this songs, and think Bradley did well to be and actor and sing, but Scott is a singer, that is a difference
There is a line from the movie Rocky. We fill eachothers gaps
One of my favorite movie franchises everrrr
PTX 🔥❤️🙌
❤
Pentatonix don’t do covers, they do upgrades and this is a prime example
Another upgrade 😊
Always an upgrade...
Pentatonix recently did an Evolution of Pentatonix - where they tell the story of their origins! ruclips.net/video/Y8pMqudympw/видео.html
This will explain how Kevin started with Pentatonix the beatboxer. ruclips.net/video/DbCasvcNx78/видео.html
This is Kevin’s Fifth. Mad should react to it.
I didn't copy the link for the "coffee" I purchased for Kevin's Fifth. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/DbCasvcNx78/видео.html.
A new Måneskin vlog is out. ruclips.net/video/WToBL0aBd7s/видео.html 😌
people will recommend you a fan-made video called "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix" but i don't really recommend it, its kind of poorly made and you can get all the same info by watching things that PTX posted themselves or from content they've been in, like The Sing-off or their concert livestreams, which are definitely more interesting to watch lol
