“Does anyone know about these people?”
Pentaholics....assemble!
Right?!? Can’t wait for the flood of info
Has anybody heard of these Emmy Award winners? Um, a handful or so, I'd say lol.
@@cassandrasherwood5759 umm...I'll play the bad guy here and say...possible correction?? Did you mean Grammy?..3 time Grammy winners...
@@watcher2554 was it Grammys not emmys? Daft punk was one that got them awards. Honestly, all of the awards start to run together for me. Edit--> not being a bad guy when I'm wrong, lol. I'll own my Oops.
@@cassandrasherwood5759 Yep, Grammy Awards (short for Gramophone Awards) are for music, Emmy's are for TV and the Academy Awards (Oscars) are for Film/Movies.
Their first Grammy was for their Arrangement in their 'Daft Punk Medley' , their second for 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' and their third was not for arrangement but for actual Performance as Best Country Duo or Group with Dolly Parton for 'Jolene'.
You literally can't go wrong with any song of theirs you choose...so you might as well react to them all! lol
There you go! I agree, you can't really make a bad choice over which to watch next.
I mean they sang Come Along and tit was beautiful
A brief introduction to Pentatonix (aka PTX):
A five member acapella (no instrument) group.
They sing covers of pop songs and have several Christmas albums in their catalog.
They've also put out two albums of original material, one just released February 12, 2021 (The Lucky Ones).
The original five band members were Scott, Kirstin (Kirstie), Mitch, Kevin and Avi.
Scott, Kirstin and Mitch knew each other from high school in Arlington, Texas. They formed the group in 2011, adding Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatboxer).
They auditioned, competed and won season 3 of the television show The Sing-Off.
They've also won multiple awards over the years including three Grammys.
While viewing PTX videos spanning a decade, it may appear that there has been several personel changes due to their ever-changing appearances, Kirstin and Mitch in particular. The fact is; only one member has changed.
Of the five original members, four are still in the group. Avi left the group in 2017 and was replaced with Matt.
While acappella since forming the group, they occasionally introduce instruments such as piano (played by Scott) and cello (played by Kevin). They've also included vocals and instrumentals played by featured guests.
Most of their 'instrumental' sounds however, are created by Kevin, their very talented beatboxer along with baselines performed by Avi, Matt and Scott.
While performing together as a five-member group, they also have individual works worth investigating.
There's so much more information 'Penta-holics' can add to this list. Just ask and they will respond. Enjoy!
No instruments FOR THE MOST PART. They HAVE performed with Kevin's Cello and they have collaborated with at least one person who used an instrument (Lindsey Stirling; there may be others as well). But it is VERY RARE that any instrument is used besides their own voices or bodies.
Kevin (beat boxer) gave up a promising career as a concert cellist to beat box for Pentatonix. Cello's loss is Pentatonix fan's gain.
@@janhankins911 Well, with that logic, he also gave up a promising career in Medicine...
Mom: "I don't like things that end in tonix."
Five seconds into the song: "I love them!"
End of song: "When can we see them live?"
That is an epic reaction.
...apart from “gin and”?
Yes, one of the best! :)
An epic 'about-face'!
Waaaay better love story than Twilight. 😉
@@mikepope9503 that is spelled djynnund Tonix thank you very much. A little homage to the late Douglas Adams there.
Thanks for an enjoyable reaction! The Pentatonix (PTX) members in this video:
Scott Hoying (tall blond baritone)
Mitch Grassi (high counter tenor)
Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo soprano)
Kevin Olusola (beatboxer, tenor and occasionally plays cello)
Avi Kaplan (bass)
Avi retired from the band in 2017 and has been replaced by Matt Sallee.
They have 3 Grammys, over 5 BILLION views on RUclips and welcome to the best fan base in the world. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
Came for Pentatonix, stayed for mom and daughter. :) You two are a lot of fun to watch together. Any champagne left? ;) Looking forward to any of their songs you'd care to react to next.
This is Brian May's favorite cover of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Indeed. He even posted it on his facebook page.
m.facebook.com/BrianMayCom/posts/2305978926082025
I liked it but..Their is a young lady out there age 13 now 15 that got the rights to this song to make it her own.. from the existing members of Queen..so maybe at the time it was his favorite...🌬🌎👣
For those who don't know who Brian May is (yeah, I'm looking at the three of you), he was the lead guitarist of "Queen" and one of the performers of the original version of this.
@@servantofmelian9966 Yeah, the guy with the PhD in astrophysics. That's who I'm talking about.
@@servantofmelian9966 yea I know that I meet him in 1982 Madison Square garden, NY..
Congratulations on discovering the best a Capella group ever. Its never too late. Excellent reaction. This band is just out of this world talented and everything they do is brilliant. They are musical geniuses. The entire band met right before a televised singing competition in 2011 called the Sing Off. The tall blonde baritone is Scott Hoying, the mezzo soprano is Kirsten (Kirstie) Maldonado and the counter tenor (lead in this one) is Mitch Grassi. The three of them grew up together in Texas. Right before the singing competition they met the man with the beard who is a basso profundo through reputation and friends. His name is Avi (pronounced Aahh Vee) Kaplan. He is my personal favorite. His warm lows are not only the foundation but when he sings he lends an emotion like no other. Quickly after that they found the beatboxer/cello player (cello boxer) on youtube. He was preparing for premed at Yale but felt this was his calling instead. They competed on season 3 of the Sing Off and won. They were given a contract with Sony but shortly after Sony dropped them(I'm sure Sony regretted that for a long time). They began performing on youtube and received another contract. Things took off from there and they are a huge success. Please listen to Hallelujah. It has over 615 million views. This band does not focus on one soloist/lead. They each have their moments to shine and they support one another 100%. Not one ego over another. They are so diverse and yet when they combine their voices the harmonies are beautiful beyond belief. Avi left the band late 2017 due to a family medical matter and personal reasons. He left on good terms and they are friends today. Avi helped the band find his replacement and now has a sensational solo career. They have 3 Grammy wins from their earlier years with Avi. The first win is Daft Punk, the second is Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and the third from a collaboration with Dolly Pardon of Jolene. Again, would suggest reacting to Hallelujah, Imagine, Rather be, Love Again(original written by Avi and Kevin), Say Something and so many more. Thank you for this reaction. Hope you will continue down the rabbit hole of Pentatonix. The PTX fans, call themselves the Pentaholics, are amazing and will support you all the way. Have fun!!! :)
Actually, Kevin had already graduated pre-med from Yale when he met the group. He was planning to go to the Berklee School of Music in Boston to earn a master's degree in music, then on to medical school after that. And it was actually Sony that re-signed them eight months after initially dropping them. 18 months after that, they bumped them up from the small Madison Gate label to the major RCA label after Daft Punk won them their first Grammy and became a world-wide smash hit. Avi was involved in the early audition process for finding his replacement, but he had actually departed before Matt was signed to the group. And, unfortunately, his departure from the group wasn't quite as amicable as many have made it out to be after the lawyers got involved. He and Kevin remain close friends (Avi was part of Kevin's wedding), but he is no longer in contact with any of the other group members.
@@larrywt656 Thanks Larry. You obviously have better connections than I do. Appreciate the info.
You must read this summary!
You have no idea, check out Voces8 to see talent on the next level.
Well ladies, You've just uncovered one of the best if not the best a Capella group in the world. They have so many covers as well as their own songs. You are both stunning and I loved your Reaction. Please continue to react to Pentatonix and you'll have a fan for life.
Just need the other two... Home Free and Voiceplay. These three groups have almost completely changed what people think of as Acapella music.
@@leechowning2712 I wanted to say the same thing. Each group is the best in their acapella genre and when they collaborate the Earth changes orbit.
Typical reaction of people reacting for the first time to Pentatonix. There is so much more to explore, they are amazing!
The European leg of their last world tour was supposed to happen in the spring of 2020. It was postponed because of covid. They had hopes of touring in 2021 but, again, it was postponed. It looks like they are planning to get to England in June 2022.
Sounds of Silence (with Matt as Bass). Hallelujah ( with Avi as Bass). Havana, Amazing Grace. All the Christmas songs. Aha Live in Singapore, the star vista( this is a fan filmed live performance) Daft Punk( their first grammy, filmed in one of their apartments)..... enjoy!
I love finding new Pentatonix listeners!! Just one song is all it takes to hook you for life. I became a Pentaholic last summer. My boyfriend had just broke up with me, I had just changed jobs, and all the covid drama. These 5 people probably saved my sanity and my life! Enjoy discovering the phenomenon known as Pentatonix!!
"Does Anyone Know About These People ??"
Pull up a Comfy Chair, it's going to be a wonderful ride.
Just don't let the chair drive off without you....
Welcome to the 3 time Grammy winning artists Pentatonix. Everyone loves them. There are absolutely amazing. The girl and the two guys you saw cuddled on the couch towards the end of the song, have known each other since they were kids I believe. I'll let you guys take your own trip down the Pentatonix rabbit hole. Lol. The fans are called Pentaholics.
Any song you choose from them is fantastic. They each take lead in various songs and others they all sing equal parts. All of their vocal ranges are phenomenal. Mitch (the one who sang lead on this one) has a 6 octave range. He is a true counter tenor. Scott the blond is a baritone, but can sing in the tenor range and also covers the bass when the base singer is soloing. Kirstie( rhymes with thirsty) is the female member. She is a mezzo soprano. Kevin is the beat boxer. He also plays the cello while beat boxing. He is a tenor. Avi the bass is actually a trained basso profondo.
You gotta do “imagine” from PTX
Yes, a wonderful iconic song, done beautifully by them and as you mentioned in the reaction about the diversity of the group, it really showcases that.
@@taniareads8751 And it was written by another Brit, a fellow by the name of John Lennon. They might have heard of him!
Definitely. I think this is my favorite by PTX. It's superb.
Yes, they would love that one.
I've seen the video literally a hundred times or more and get a lump in my throat at the end every single time.
I have been checking back every so often to see if you have covered another Pentatonix. Please review one of their other songs. Please! Your Mom is so cute💕
They formed in 2011 for a TV show competition called, "the Sing Off" which they won. Three of them grew up together in Texas and sang together a lot. For the competition they recruited a Bass singer and a beat boxer... and the rest is history. Try Any Christmas song you can think of ; "Mary Did You Know" is my favorite that they do. Hallelujah is a good starter.. Their first Grammy Award was for their "Daft Punk Medley" which they record in their kitchen closet.
Perfect cover, one of best that's so close to the original and for an A-Capella group, crazy but also up to Pentatonix standards. Great reaction Ladies, break out the Champaign
They have done so much music to suit all different genres and tastes!! Their names are Kirstie (the girl), Mitch (the guy who had the high voice), Scott (the tall blonde), Kevin (the beatboxer) and Avi (the bass)! As of now, Avi is not apart of the group and has been “replaced” by Matt! They formed in 2011 and started on The Sing Offs! Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch met in high school and are called the trio by the fans because they were found by people due to performing Telephone in high school! They started in Arlington, Texas then all moved out to LA together to do the sing offs. Avi left in 2017 and that winter Matt came in. Kevin is the only one married and now has a baby girl! There’s so much to learn but this is just the basics!
Began in 2011 on The Sing Off a US a capella contest. Original members: Scott baritone, Mitch counter tenor, Kirstie soprano/alto, Kevin beatboxer/tenor, Avi bass. Avi left group in 2017, Matt replaced him as bass. Won 3 Grammys Daft Punk, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Jolene with Dolly Parton. They are incredible on their own. 2 original albums Pentatonix with Avi and The Lucky Ones with Matt. Pick any of their videos, live performances or medleys (Rhianna, Ariana Grande) so much to choose from and never never disappointed. Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. Fans are pentaholics.
I love watching someone watching them for the first time.
Great reaction! Hallelujah would be a good song for your next reaction. It is their most viewed RUclips video with over 600 million views (that is not a typo - 600 million). Also, four of them have great solos in the song, so you can appreciate the individual talent of each member as well as their collective genius. Enjoy! Subscribed for more PTX reactions. Please do more soon.
In 2003 Pentatonix won an American a capella competition TV show, The Sing Off. Then months later dropped from their winning record contract. They are now celebrating 10 years together and are still the number 1 a capella group in the world
How can any music lover NOT know about Pentatonix! Incredibly talented artists with no limit to their talent. Try listening to a couple of their Christmas videos and Amazing Grace/ My Chains Are Gone, and Hallelujah if you want to blow your minds! Please!!!
They are the best a Cappella group ever.
You both will love Hallelujah.
You will cry your eyes out.
We do!
I love reactions where people get really excited about what they are hearing and seeing. Great reaction. Pentatonix is worth it.
Stumbled across this, and I've gotta say, that was probably the most fun reaction I've ever watched. You two are perfect. Can't stop smiling, and I really needed a reason to smile today. Thank you so much.
We now have a Podcast out called The Travelling with Mother Show available on Spotify, Google, Amazon Music and all major apps
For their ethnic backgrounds etc., watch their version of John Lennon's "Imagine." It's also just beautiful.
Fantastic mom! Fantastic daughter! Fantastic mom - daughter relationship! Such a pleasure to watch you and to listen to you both! Thank you! Pity I have only one thumb up I can give you...
Wow! The most unique reaction style I've ever seen!
Pentatonix (also referred to as PTX, by their fans - who call themselves 'Pentaholics'.) has been around since 2011, after winning the 3rd season of 'The Sing-Off'. They've won (so far) three Grammys. When listening, keep in mind that whenever you *think* you hear instruments ... it's actually *them!* The only exception would be on those rare occasions when their 'beat-boxer' [he supplies 90+% of the percussion you hear] Kevin O. (also a master cellist) brings in his cello for a piece!
To blow your mind once again, check out their cover of "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairies" ... and keep in mind that you'll be experiencing an *instrumental piece* of music, performed by a voice-only group, *without any instruments!* 😳 ‼
Other performances by them to look forward to experiencing:
Hallelujah
Sound Of Silence
Amazing Grace
90s Dance Medley
Mary Did You Know?
Say Something [tissues recommended]
Thank You [again, have tissues]
Do You Feel The Love Tonight?
... *Enjoy!*
It was filmed live on a residential street during the evening from about 11pm to 6;30 am. There is a “Behind the Scene” video that shows how it was filmed.
Three-time GrammyAward-winning and multi-platinum-selling artist Pentatonix (presently comprised of Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee) . A freshman at The University of Southern California, Scott decided to audition for the show and enlisted childhood friends and fellow Arlington, Texas-natives Kirstie and Mitch. As a high school vocal trio, they had found success both locally and online thanks to their cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone." Determined to add depth and a distinctive dynamic to the group, Scott set out to add more vocalists, first adding Avi, who'd built himself a reputation as one of the most talented vocal basses in Southern California, and eventually took to RUclips where he found the video for "Julie-O," featuring Kevin's cello-boxing (simultaneously beatboxing and performing the song on his cello).
Finally, a fully formed group, Pentatonix perfected their sound (and their chemistry) throughout the season, naturally developing a signature style and a knack for arranging songs that pulled equally from the five individuals' strengths. Despite drawing from a dizzyingly eclectic set of musical genres - the group cites pop, jazz, r&b, indie, folk, dubstep and electronica as just a few of their inspirations.
3 of them grew up together Scott, Mitch, and Kirstin.. they brought on Kevin (beatboxer), and Avi (bass) in order to participate in the "Sing Off" singing competition in 2011.. they ended up winning and in the 10 years since, they have graced us with SO many masterpieces.. both covers and originals. They are very close and have side projects and solo endeavors of their own, always putting Pentatonix first. As we've watched them grow up for the last 10 years, their talents still amaze and delight to the fullest. Please react to HALLELUJAH, SOUND OF SILENCE, DAFT PUNK.. good ones to start with.. Mom will especially like COME ALONG.. you will see the only change is Matt (bass as of 2017).. Kirstie and Mitch are always changing their look.
Really enjoyed your reactions.. especially love how wide-eyed you both became as soon as they opened their mouths!
I have literally watched hundreds of PTX reaction videos over the years, and I must admit that yours has to be the best one I've seen for this song. Prepare for the rabbit hole, but you'll enjoy the journey. Cheers
The Acapella floodgates have opened.
First Pentatonix, then Home Free, top it off with Voiceplay.
Yes, they are an a capella group. All instrument sounds you hear are their voices. Their name Pentatonix is a riff on the musical pentatonic scale. They changed the c to an x and there are 5 members, which fits the penta in pentatonic(x) scale. The members in this are: Mitch, countertenor, main lead in this song and first solo; Scott, baritone, tall blond; Kirstin or Kirstie, mezzo soprano, the girl; (those 3 grew up in Texas and attended school and choir together from around the age of 10 and often referred to as the trio); Kevin, beatboxer and tenor, also massively talented in many other areas; and Avi, bass, guy with the beard. Avi left the group at the end of 2017 amicably and was replaced by Matt. You will see Matt in later videos. The other 4 members have remained the same. The group got their start on an American reality competition show for a capella groups. They entered and WON the 3rd season of the show called The Sing-off. This group is widely considered the best acapella group in the world and they have really changed how a capella is viewed now.
They have not done a single song/video that is anything less than great. Often their covers exceed the originals. Pick anything to react and you will likely not be disappointed. Welcome to the very deep rabbit hole of discovering Pentatonix. Us fans are called Pentaholics. Some of my favorite recommendations are: Imagine, Sound of Silence, Hallelujah, Daft Punk (they won their 1st Grammy for this), Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd Grammy), Jolene feat. Dolly Parton (3rd Grammy), Sing, Come Along, Say Something, plus so many songs from their Christmas albums. They also have a lot of originals to peruse. They have literally hundreds of songs and videos to choose. Enjoy the journey!
Welcome to the Pentatonix World! We Pentaholics love new reactors. Everybody will pop in with suggestions and comments; information galore, people speaking about going to their concerts, etc. Boy! Sigh! I’m smiling already,😀 Start of an amazing journey! Welcome again!🥰✨
Halleluiah shows off their individual talents so you can see whom is singing what...probably their most popular song
You’re in for a wild ride!!! Please do Come Along!!
"Come Along" is a song which is quite fun. Language is rather out of Alice in Wonderland, so expect the words to sound odd. Kevin's "drumming", along with Matt's base line, is spectacular! Do hope you get to see it.
oh, i SO want you two to listen to Hallelujah by this group. Oh, and Amazing Grace because, gosh. They've got a huge back catalogue of songs to choose from and everybody has their favorites they want to share with new fans, but those two are probably the 'cleanest' ones that showcase the individual voices and i would die to listen to your mom squeak over them.
OK we have now - oh my God! Unreal! I couldn't let mother listen to that - can you imagine?
More Pentatonix please!😊 Reaction to Daft Punk medley, Love again(original), Evolution of music and Problem (cover) Love you and your videos😘
Love Again is my ABSOLUTE fav!!
Pay attention to the views of their videos, millions, and millions of subscribers! They are amazing. I'm sure the viewers below will fill you in on info. They are a group with originals, covers, fantastic medleys, evolutions, and versatility of genres. Lovely ladies! enjoyed the reaction!
Just discovered them myself and I was just like your reaction…and I live in the US! You and mum make a great team! I love the energy!
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole; three time Grammy award winners, they can sing about any genre, their harmonies are unbelievable. Please stay with them and you will be amazed. Pull up on RUclips the Pentatonix Beginnings video and it will lay the foundation for you of who they are and how they came together.
Pentatonix has 3 Grammy awards. The first for their Daft Punk Medley, the second one for Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy and their third for Jolene (which they did with the original artist, Dolly Parton).
[They're coming back to Europe in 2022... So you'd have to look back a the ticketsales.]
Welcome to the pentatonix fandom, we are called 'pentaholics'. We're all very loyal and always willing to awser any questions about the group you may have.
Some of the questions I picked up on and will gladly awnser to the best of my ability:
When did they form: as a five person group, they formed in 2010/2011 for the sing-off. The three original members: Scott, Mitch and Kirstin know eachother since highschool. They were in musical theater together. When Scott went to college he joined his college acapella group. When he read about a competition called 'the sing off' looking for new contestants, he wanted to get his original group together to give it a try. But bc the show had a 5 person group requirement they had to look for 2 more members. They found Avi through a mutual friend (their current producer Ben Bram) and Kevin they found bacause of this viral RUclips video of him 'celloboxing' (combining beatbox with cello). Their first audition day on the sing off was also the first day of all of them meeting eachother. They were the smallest group of the competition and had to go against all of theses gigantic 10+ person vocal groups. (All of the performances of their sing off days are still available here on RUclips)
Spoiler alert (but also not really, because we're talking about pentatonix here): they won the whole thing and got a contract with a record label. That same label dropped them a year later, they didn't see a future in acapella and the members of PTX were told they'd fails if they continued with that genre. They started over on their own RUclips channel and found their current label, RCA. The rest is history. ( I can write more, but its already so much info)
Are they all american: yes! Although they were all born and raised in The USA, their group has a lot of different ethnicities such as Latin American, Italian and Nigerian.
I hope to see more pentatonix reactions from you two, you are lovely!
That was a wonderful reaction. You two ladies have been thoroughly Mitch-slapped. Congratulations, and welcome to the Pentaholics! Hallelujah is a must, vital to anyone and everyone with ears and a brain. Enjoy!!
Pentatonix is a fantastic acapella group!! One of the best if not THE best!! Their Hallelujah cover is perfection and very moving!! Love their sound!! I'm asking you to react to an artist that is truly incredible and one of the best if not THE best female vocalist on this planet today!!! Her name is Morissette Amon. She just turned 25 y/o. She's from the Phillipines and she has a vocal range that compares to none. She's extremely humble; she sings effortlessly because she loves to sing. She becomes the song and is a beautiful "story teller" as she sings. She covers a lot of Broadway songs but she sings every genre of music there is; Pop, R&B, Broadway, Rap (not MY fave, however), Country, Christian music (I don't think I've left anything out). She does cover Bohemian Rhapsody and it shows she could easily sing opera, if she desired. Please react to this beautiful young lady. Morissette has a fan base that has grown exponentially since I first listened to her 3 years ago, on You Tube. So will your fan base, I promise, when her fans (myself included) find you're reacting to her!! I'll suggest, first, for you a song, done live, on the Wish Bus. Akin Ka Na Lang. This is in her native language and it's extraordinary. Most of her covers are in English. You won't regret listening and you WILL be astounded!! I'm 67 years old, American and she's my favorite singer in the world!! I know what beautiful voices sound like and she has a voice that is God given. Thank you for this reaction and I will look each day for you to react to Asia's Phoenix, Morissette Amon.
This reaction was so cute omg. One of the few times I cared more about the people reacting to the video than the video itself.
I'm so happy that you lovelies have experienced these astounding vocalists! Please browse their youtube channel and pick your own favorites from their covers to react to next. They're ALL excellent!
Pentatonix won the second season of the American TV show Sing Off (if you get a chance watch episode 10. You won't regret it). Scott, tall blonde baritone, Mitch, short brunette contra tenor, and Kirsten, blond mezzo-soprano grew up together in Arlington, Texas. They entered Sing Off hoping to get some exposure and maybe some notice by a record label. It wasn't until a few days before audition that Scott found out that the minimum group was 5. Scott found Kevin, KO, on RUclips, and Kevin introduced then to Avi, a talented basso profundo. Avi left the group in 2017 after his mother was diagnosed with cancer. He helped the group find Matt, his replacement. If you want to hear what Matt can do, look at their rendition of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch ".
I dare say you will notice that Pentatonix has a very large fan base, including myself, who will appear on any reaction done to talk about the group, the other two groups that are in the same field, and this class of music by itself. I would honestly say it is not acapella, because they change what acapella is so dramatically. Compared to classical style of acapella... The barbershop quartets or the large choirs... These are a totally new music. And we love them very very much. As you watch their other shows you will see that overtime they have become more polished, this video was from their first year more or less working independently. Their most recent works include much greater graphical style and equipment as well as much more practice as a group. But every single one of their videos are worth watching. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Yes! Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Literally any song they cover or any of their originals are amazing!! They even have their own side channels! Here is a bit of information about them. The one taking the lead is Mitch and he is a counter tenor. The blond one is Scott and he is a baritone. The female is Kirstin and she is a mezzo soprano. The three of them met in Arlington Texas and were best friends since they were young. They met in musical theater. The beatboxer is Kevin and the bass is Avi. Many people call them the meat and potatoes of the group after a judge from The Sing-Off called them this. And what’s surprising is that the trio and Avi and Kevin met the day before they had to preform fro the sing-off. Which they won!! Also if you check out the PTXperience you can also learn more about their personalities and how tour is like. would recommend every song because they are amazing! Loved this reaction 😊
The part that said musical theater reminded me of that one superfruit video...
To learn more about them, I highly highly recommend you check out their performances on an A Capella singing competition called The Sing Off. They literally started Pentatonix for this show. Scott, Mitch, and Kirsten grew up together, but to be on the show, they needed 5 members, so they found Avi, and Kevin. Here is the first performance: ruclips.net/video/9STdbGrfCLA/видео.html
You two are adorable! So glad you found the incredible Pentatonix!!
I saw someone comment about Pentatonix that is a beautiful thing to see the birth of some new Pentaholics and this certainly suits to two ladies
three of them meet in high school in texas and the other two joined them for an acapella contest for tv and they won the contest.
they have been touring for over 5 years or more. the pentatonix name is derived by them being 5 part group. have fun checking them out.
The star scene with the shooting stars was included as a homage to Brian May, who besides being a world-class guitarist, is also a Ph.D. astrophysicist.
Also the couch plays homage to their earlier videos when they had no music label. The five of them would sit on a couch with one later two microphones.
@@Tammy-km5uf Thanks! And the couch moves under remote control-it is a powered couch! They had to modify it for the video-Kristin is so short they had to add a step on the back for her.
Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
Yaaas
at least 2 of the members were on an episode of a show called "BONES" here in america. the little guy with the high voice and the blonde guy. they played acapella singers in college. they are amazing !!!
What a wonderful reaction to Pentatonix. PLEASE DO MORE!
I came here for the Pentatonix, cause I'm a complete Pentaholic, and I stayed because you and your Mum are adorable! If you do more Pentatonix reactions, I might even decide to subscribe. So, the girl (soprano) is Kirsty, the guy with the high voice (contratenor) is Mitch, the blonde guy (Tenor/Baritone/Bass) is Scott, the beatboxer and general rhythm section is Kevin, and the dark-haired guy with the low voice (Basso Profundo) is Avi. Unfortunately Avi decided to leave in 2017. It was an amicable parting and he helped to find their new Bass singer Matt. You will see Matt in Sound of Silence, when you get to watch it. I loved your faces when you heard Mitch (the high pitched guy who sang the main parts in this song), we Pentaholics call that 'being Mitch-slapped' since most people don't expect a guy to sing that high and get that same look you did. That's not even the highest he can sing either. And the low notes you heard from Avi is not the lowest notes he can sing either.
Mitch, Kirsty and Scott all went to high school together and decided to enter a televised singing competition in the US, which is where they're all from, and decided that their group needed a little something extra so they recruited Avi and Kevin. This rounded out their sound really nicely and they ended up winning the competition. Their prize was a contract with Sony (?), but Sony reneged on the contract and dropped them within a week of the end of the competition. Sony said that they felt that an a capella group was not marketable and wouldn't make any money. Undeterred, the group decided to record on their own and put their stuff on RUclips and built their following that way. They are now one of the most successful a cappella groups ever, and often outstrip regular groups. They have a policy of only using their own voices and not using any post-production effects, auto-tune etc, unless it's made VERY obvious that this is the case. They pride themselves in being able to sing all their songs, live on-stage, without any technical help. So, basically everything you hear is allllll them.
For your Pentatonix education I would recommend listening to Sound of Silence, Hallelujah, Daft Punk Medley, Amazing Grace, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and basically any other Pentatonix song you can get your hands on! Ahhh, what the heck, I'm subscribing now just so I can see you get Mitch-slapped again!
❤️❤️ oh Ladies you are a delight! Thank you for checking out my favorite band 😍! I really hope you do more PTX! Hallelujah is usually the one most reactors check out first so it was fun to see you both do this one first! Love it!
Loved watching you discover the wonders of Pentatonix. Please react to more of their music, they are wildly eclectic. Try Havana, Come Along, Mary Di You Know...so many more. Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole!
Scott (the tall blond); Mitch (short brown haired guy), and Kirsten sang together in high school in Texas, they found Kevin(the beat boxer) on line, playing the cello and beat boxing. Avi( with a beard they found through the grapevine I think, and when he decided to go solo he helped them find Matt. The original 5 got together for a tv talent show for acappella groups, The Sing Off, and won season 3 in 2011.
Kirstin
Yes, welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole, plus additional ones that branch off it because 1: Each member (6 total, because the original bass left a few years ago due to needing a break from their hectic pace because they got so busy) has solo stuff & collabs with others, a cappella & not. 2: Two of the members, Scott & Mitch, have a side group together that is not a capella, called Superfruit. They also have a separate RUclips channel with that name, where they did vlogs about their life to let fans know them better, funny stuff with & without guests, covers just for fun, & their videos for all their original songs which make up a 2-part album. (They haven't been active as a duo for a bit because Pentatonix got even busier with more & longer tours, they moved from being roomates to separate homes due to one getting serious with their boyfriend, then also they each had some solo projects going on between Pentatonix tours, then the pandemic hit. But it's likely they will put out more Superfruit content at some point.)
I adore first time reactions to Pentatonix!! Loved this whole thing.
Your what we call 'Mitch face' was outstanding. It happens often when people really hear him for the first time. He did the guitar sounds. He only used the megaphone as a prop so you could see who was doing it. Pentaholics call it the Grassi Guitar. I heard them perform this live and it was epic. No megaphone needed and it sounded virtually the same. Pentatonix does not do songs that they cannot do the same way live so people know they can actually do it.
Remember that you asked.... Pentatonix has 5 members. Scott (Blond, Baritone), Mitch (High voice, Counter-Tenor), Kirstie (Girl, Mezzo-Soprano), Kevin, (Beat Boxer), Avi (Bass, Left group in 2017) and replaced by Matt (New Bass). Scott, Mitch and Kirstie (The Trio) grew up in Texas. They have known each other since they were 8 to 10 years old. All three of them were born within 14 months of each other, with Scott being the oldest and Mitch the youngest. They were "Choir Nerds" and involved in Community Theater. They had a couple videos on You Tube as performers in High School. After High School, Scott and Kirstie went to USC (University of Southern California), and University of Oklahoma, respectively. While Scott was at USC he heard about a talent show called "The Sing Off" for a Capella groups. He called his friends and asked if they would join him. They agreed. They needed 5 in the group so added Kevin (found through You Tube videos) and Avi (mutual friend). They wound up winning the show, $200,000 and a Record Contract. They all moved to Los Angeles and were promptly dropped by the record company. They started a channel on You Tube and became popular enough to get a new Record deal. The rest is history. That all started in 2011. They have since won 3 Grammy's (Top Recording Industry Awards in USA) and have sold millions of records and sold out tours. They have 10 years worth of performances. Mostly Covers, but also Original works. They are also well known for their Christmas Albums. Hope you keep reacting to them. They are very talented and have a wide range of material to choose from. Thanks for the great reaction.
Actually I think Kristie went to school in Oklahoma, but left to join Scott when she heard about the sing off show.
@@colinpovey2904 That is why I said USC AND University of Oklahoma, respectively. But I could have added that Mitch was still in High School. Thanks for the opportunity.
@@donny1960 My bad. I mis-read your posting. I apologize.
@@colinpovey2904 No problem. Again, I was able to say more about Mitch.
You HAVE to listen to their cover of Hallelujah, possibly the most beautiful sound ever recorded. I suggest the official video for the audio quality. Enjoyed the reaction ladies, thank you.
The Members at that point were Scott Hoying (Baritone), Mitch Grassi (Counter Tenor), Kevin Olusola (Cello, Beatboxer), Avi Kaplan (Bass) & Kirstin Maldonado (Mezzo-Seprano). A few band members have changed since this including Avi.
Kirstie, Mitch and Scott all went to school together and lived in Texas. They won the show the Sing Off in 2011 that is when Kevin the beatboxer joined them and Avi the bass.
You two are, how do you say, bloody brilliant. So fun and funny, and so spot-on and original in your reactions! I found you via Angelina and have so enjoyed your other videos!
As for Penatonix, there from frickin’ Texas, believe it or not. While we Texans would benefit from a giant slice of humility, we actually have much to be proud of when it comes to music. Thank you so much for your refreshing, charming, and insightful reactions. Please continue even as the world returns to some semblance of “normal.” And, please, more Angelina ... and Pentatonix. Cheers!
Pentatonix has covered The Prayer in December of 2021 I think you Ladies would really enjoy it !!
These guys are incredible. They do some incredible covers. Enjoy you 2. Keep up the good work
I like this relationship where the daughter seems more sensible and the mom looking for fun 😂😂❤
Also, I recommend reacting to their "Sing Off" performances 1-12. Great live performances, back story on the group and no real copyright worries. J.
Yup, what they said. :) That would be during Season Three of the Sing-Off. Personally, I'd recommend RUclipsr Mrduckbear11 for the Sing-Off performances, complete with judges' reactions.
Mitch is a counter-Trevor who has a 6 octave range. Magnificent!
Hi ladies, The blond guy Scott, the dark guy with the angelic voice and the girl Kirstie know each other since middle school. They grew up in Austin Texas. When about 2011 Scott wanted to participate in "The Sing Off" a talent show, he asked both and they said yes, but... you have to be 5 (penta) to do it. Scott saw a black guy Kevin on YT playing a cello and beatboxing at the same time. The others found a bearded guy with very deep voice and studying opera, Avi Kaplan. They won the competition and 200.000 USD and a contract with Sony.
About a week later after competition, Sony kicked them out, keeping the money. So they decided to make a music video, everybody said can't be done, with their last money 400 USD in the apartment of Kevin and Avi in LA. Filming in the kitchen doing the singing in the wardrobe (because of traffic noise they created so to speak their first grammy. DAFT PUNK MEDLEY.
Their most seen video on YT is Hallelujah of Len Cohen 615 million views to date. All of what you see and hear, they also do live on stage, or for charity. They sang in the Austin children's hospital, first for the nurses and doctors and then on some of the stations for children, who might never leaf again alive. Stay save and healthy. German greetings.
Scott (tall blonde), Mitch (the skinny brunette) and Kirstie (the girl) all grew up together in Arlignton Texas, Mitch met Kirstie when they were 8, Scott met Mitch when they were ten and Kirstie and Scott met when they were 15. They all went to the same highschool (Mitch a year behind) so they started a trio and harmonizing that way. Once Scott and Kirstie graduated and went to College, Mitch was still a Senior, Scott found out about an acapella competition show called the "Sing-Off" so he called up Kirstie and Mitch to audition but they needed at least five people in a group so Scott found Kevin (the beatboxer) off of youtube and found Avi (the guy with the beard) through a mutual friend and auditioned with "Telephone by lady gaga" (you should react to that) anyway the Sing off was from 2011-2012 and they actually won the sing off and won a recording contract but were sadly dropped after they moved to L.A. So they started uploading regular vids by themselves until they were picked up by RCA records and the rest is History. Sadly Avi left the group for personal reason's in 2017 and now they have a new bass, Matt, who is just as good.
I have actually never seen someone just getting into PTX and seeing there journey as well from the beginning so I have just subscribed. Loved this reaction, I really hope you do more and welcome to the Pentaholic family!!
Pentatonix is indeed an amazing group. I love their performances. One of the top 3 groups today. The other two are Home Free and the TNT boys, from the Philippines. Speaking of the Philippines, if you want the best singers on the planet, there is just no comparison to the 3 Queens of the Philippines.
Morrissette Amon - "Raise Up" performs on the Wish bus.
Katrina Velarde - "Go the Distance" performs on the Wish bus
Gigi de Lana - "Through the Fire" performs on one of her YT concerts with her band Gigi Vibes.
Please give them some love on your channel and don't worry about views or subscribers.
They formed with Kirsten, Scott and Mitch, the three main singers were in high school. When they were 19, they brought in Kevin the beat boxer and Avi the base, to creat Pentatonix and preform in the acapella tv show The Sing Off which they won. That was around 10 yrs ago. Avi left the group a few years back. And is doing solo music. Scott and Mitch branched off as a duo called Superfruit (my favorite). But the Pentatonix is still together and recently released new music.
I thoroughly enjoyed you lovely ladles reaction to Bohemian Rhapsody. Brian May of Queen was impressed and enjoyed their rendition. Their cover of Hallelujah is simply stunning and sound of silence by Simon and Garfunkel are absolutely amazing. Their original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, left the group in 2017 and was replaced by the equally talented Matt Sallee. Their covers of Daft Punk Medley and Dance of the Sugarplum fairy are Impressive and both won them Grammy awards. Please cover more Pentatonix! You will find Pentatonix fans will follow and subscribe to your channel. If you find that you have copyright blocks, you can place a transparent filter (falling snow perhaps) over the video as you play them and you will be less likely to be blocked. Also, you can appeal with RUclips and they may release any blocked reactions. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your reactions to this extremely talented group.
My favorite songs by Pentatonix-- Sound of Silence, Imagine, Hallelujah, and Mary, Did You Know. Their Amazing Grace is a religious experience.
Not usually my first recommendation, but since your Mother requested to know everything about them, you should react to them on "The Sing Off" the show where they got their start. It gives information about who they are, who they were, how they formed, and lets you see them while they were still trying to get big. (And they were already amazing!)
Will do! Thank you!
Love these two well spoken ladies…do more PTX please they are 3 x Grammy winning geniuses. You’ll get plenty of views!
Wonderful reaction! A great place to start your PTX (Pentatonix) journey would be season 3 of The Sing Off a TV competition that they were on. They actually met in person for the first time the day before the audition. Otherwise a few must see videos are covers Hallelujah, Imagine, Can't Help Falling in Love, Problem, Gold, No, Can't Hold Us. Originals Can't Sleep Love, Sing, Love Again, Light in the Hallway, Run to You, Standing By. And of course any of the Christmas music.
Always fun to see newcomers to the PTX universe. You just tipped the edge of very large iceberg. They have so very many great songs in their repertoire. From dance song medleys to John Lennon's "Imagine", they are all stunning.
Before Covid they were selling out 12,000 ticket arenas in the U.S., and only had the European leg left of their World Tour when quarantine shut everything down. They rescheduled the European dates for this spring/summer but they had to cancel them to be scheduled at a future date. PTX tours almost year around, so hopefully soon they can get back on the road and sharing their talent with all who love them. My kids loved them and I took them to a concert thinking no way they can pull off these songs live. I was very wrong, and became a fan myself. 🙂
The three sitting on the back of the couch -- Scott (tall blond baritone), Mitch (high counter tenor), and Kirstin (mezzo soprano; pronounced "Cur-stin") -- have known each other since they were kids. They grew up together in Texas doing musical theater productions.
Scott and Kirstin went off to university in California and Oklahoma; Mitch stayed in Texas for his senior year of high school. (British translation: 6th form.) Scott met Ben Bram and they decided to put together a group for the Sing Off. It's a tv show like America's Got Talent but only for a cappella groups.
They decided they needed a beatboxer, so they recruited Kevin off of RUclips. and they needed a bass so they found Avi (pronounced "ahh-vee") through mutual friends. Avi left in 2017 for personal reasons and was replaced by Matt.
They didn't meet as a full group until the day before the audition for the Sing Off. Mitch stayed to finish his senior exams in high school and skipped the graduation ceremony. Kevin stayed to finish his exams at Yale so he could graduate. He was planning to go to med school. and he speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.
They won the Sing Off and moved to Los Angeles but the record company promptly dropped them. They decided to do things themselves on RUclips. They were successful and another record company picked them up, on more favorable turns to the band.
Currently, they have over 19 million subscribers and over 5 billion views. (with a "b")
They have won three Grammy Awards and have multi-Platinum-selling records. Nine of their albums have his the top 10 on BIllboard's 200 chart. They have toured around the world multiple times stopping in over two dozen countries by my count.
Given that history it is surprising that more people haven't heard of them. They are still going up against the "oh, it's just a cappella" attitude from people who don't even bother listening to them.
I AM BEGGING YOU TOO TO LISTEN TO PENTATONIX - HALLEJUHAH!!
Pentatonix "Daft Punk Collection" "Cheerleader" "History of Music" "90's Dance medley" "Hallelujah" "Radioactive"w/Lindsey Stirling(plus Lindsey Stirling's Music, fun fun fun)
Scott Hoying (baritone) and Mitch Grassi (counter tenor) have known each other since they were 10, doing community theater in Arlington, Texas. Shortly after meet Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo soprano), attending middle, then high school together performing in many community plays and singing in choir. While Scott was in college he had the idea to audition for the Sing Off. They decided they needed a bass and a beat boxer. They meet Avi Kaplan through a friend of a friend, and found Kevin Olusola on a you tube video. All meeting the first time just before the Sing Off. They are considered by many to be leaders in an acapella movement to the limelight. With 3 Grammy Awards, no. 1 billboard albums and several Award performances (AMA Star Wars Theme, Micheal Jackson And Bee Gees dedication) Plus all of their amazing Christmas songs, covers and originals will keep you on a Pentatonix journey for a while. Their very loyal fans(Pentaholics) will enjoy sharing it with you.
Welcome to the Pentatonix Rabbit Hole!!!! They won the 3rd Season of The Sing Off in 2011!!!! They are from Arlington Texas!!!!
The Main Singer in this song is Mitch Grassi (Counter-Tenor) with the Angelic Voice. The Tall Blonde Guy is Scott Hoying (Baritone & takes over doing Bass Whenever the Bass singer is singing a Lead Part), the Beatboxer is Kevin Olusola (also Plays Cello while Beatboxing = CelloBoxing), the girl is Kirstin Maldonado (Mezzo-Soprano), and the guy with the beard is Avi Kaplan (Bass from 2011-2017) he left to spend more time with his family and Hand Picked Matt Sallee (Bass 2017-Present)!!!!
Great Reaction, you should also Check out their covers of "Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel, "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John, "Hallelujah" & "Amazing Grace" to name a few!!!! Welcome to the Pentaholic Family!!!!
Be aware. The young man with the beard left at the end of 2017. He left on good terms, and helped choose his replacement. By the way. Pentatonix isn’t just an acapella group, they are THE
ACAPELLA group.
1/ The girl (Kirstin Maldonado) IS American. She’s a mezzo-soprano and is. Latina. Born and raised in Texas.
2/ The men:
A. Scott Hoying. Tall blonde. Sings bass when the bass is soloing. Otherwise, he sings baritone.
B. Mitch Grassi. Lead singer on this. He’s a counter-tenor, who changes his look a lot. A lot! He and Kirstin change hairstyles a lot, and he’s lost weight in the 10 years PTX (Pentatonix) has been a group. It can look like there are all kids of new members from one video to another, but the only personnel change was when Avi left in 2017.
**Mitch, Kirstin and Scott grew up together in Arlington, Texas.**
C. Kevin Olusola. He beatboxes, sometimes while playing cello (“cello-boxing”-Kevin is a master cellist!), plays cello, graduated from a pre-med program at Yale University, (and turned down a chance for medical school to join PTX). He also speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese. And he and his wife became parents on April 3!
D. Avi Kaplan (2011-2017) and Matt Sallee (2017-present) Bass. Avi is a trained opera singer, and Matt is a graduate of the Berkelee College of Music in Boston with a degree in Vocal Performance.
PTX celebrates their 10th anniversary this year!

I'm glad you have finally heard Pentatonix and can now join the world of Pentaholics lol. Here are links to a few of my favorite covers they've done. Avi, the one who did the base lines with his voice is not in all of these. He left the group to pursue other avenues and was replaced by Matt. "Imagine"- ruclips.net/video/NLiWFUDJ95I/видео.html "The Sound of Silence"-ruclips.net/video/gdVjVtpr55M/видео.html "Amazing Grace"-ruclips.net/video/Obp-9BEZe1c/видео.html "Can You Feel the Love Tonight"-ruclips.net/video/cT1Kzk7akjQ/видео.html If you react to any of their videos I would suggest using a filter over the video as it plays to avoid having it deleted due to copyright infringement. If not, you would probably have to pause periodically which can take away from some of the emotion they convey.
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole! You’ll LOVE the journey. Check out their covers of Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Daft Punk Medley, Problem, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Sound Of Silence... The list goes on. They’re FABULOUS. So talented. 💯💯💯
