Kevin is SO spot on with his beatboxing in this. It's INSANE! It just supports my theory that he's not human, but a living drumset (with hands to play the cello and a silly laugh to melt hearts)
kevin is one of my favorite members in the group as a musician myself i love my beat-makers and kevin is just that good at making beats when its just coming from his mouth his fast drum progressions is just mouth-dropping like in the 2nd verse for example and the synchronization with the cello is just surreal and he's still learning new things which is why kevin still to this day is one of my favorite beatboxers of all time
Even people as perfect at singing as them will be slightly off on a note at times. Like in this performance it wasn't all absolutely spot on. They likely used a bit of autotune or pitch correction software to make sure the notes were completely accurate.
For the first time ever I heard Mitch's voice crack. I love when amazing singers have little mess up moments every once in a while. It reminds us that they are still human 😍😍💛💙💜💚❤💖💕
mitch:oh my voice cracked 😨 he was so cute!!! 😍😍tho at the end when he was like 'i know what my most embarrassing moment is..' i was like 'mitchy mitchy too biggie to be here stressin' 😂😂
Raises hand... I can. Always could sing low, and have gotten progressively lower. I do what a soprano does, but in reverse. Chest voice as low as I can go, then drop into my diaphragm. Lower than that, I use growl mode.
It's funny the way: 1. Kirstie took her phone out right after the song 2. Mitch's voice cracked 3. Kevin's expression when he was beatboxing was making me laugh
Inward k snare... Plus, he can phonate like me while beatboxing (I can't beatbox that good though) so he can be beatboxing and sucking in air through is nose.
So. . .this guy with the green shirt down front would make an AWESOME classical singer. Even though his voice is mostly imitative of instrumentation, his technique reflects classical training. This whole group is amazing. I've never even heard this song, but you guys make me want to go listen to it!
Watching this in 2023. First, they are still amazing when they perform this number. It’s only gotten better as thier voices have matured. Second, I’ve been a PTX fan for years, and this might be the only time I’ve ever heard Mitch ‘mess up’. ❤❤❤
thats cuz hes doing the overtone, singing two notes at once. if you listen closely you hear the top note that sounds a bit different that actual singing, thats him singing his note and creating that ringing note on top
@@cherie914 He's just singing one note... The high note is an off harmony of the voice. Overtones are easy, but he's a master with a lot of training. But, he messed up the melody, that's why he was with that face.
I just wonder if Kevin have to make a Beat boxing sheets for himself because if not, he must be a real beatbox monster to be able to remeber all the combination he has made for all Pentatonix song!! And I didn't think that Scott is the one that hit the high note :). Cost him a red face :)))).
If I had four thumbs, they'd all be pointing skyward right now. I love this version more than the studio version, because I crave to see how Kevin & Avi are hitting their notes, esp. with the syncopated percussion and double-voice interlude, and you get that here. In fact, the balance is a bit off b/c you don't hear Mitch properly, as you do in the studio vid. ...and that's a crime, because what Mitch does with this tune is just out of this world! What I'd MOST love to do is see 'em do it live. For now, I'll just have to settle for watching bootleg vids by fans.... :-)
Holy $#$#$, Batman! Over a live-stream? ... AMAZING! Even being an audience recording & what sounds like a blown-out speaker (lol, thx avi?) ... their performance of this at the Star Vista in Singpore from like 5+ yrs ago, I must have listened to hundreds of times now. Have been singing my entire life & THAT.... has to be the absolute best timed, emoted, performed & unique sounding thing I've EVER EVER heard or witnessed. Just... stellar talent & teamwork there. I mean, Mitch, phew... where to even begin?! The hair on my head tingles every time I listen to that performance. I know, however, it takes every single one of 'em... to make it sound that great! SO well done.. thanks for sharing!
This is like my get pumped song, I swear!! Every time I listen to it I just feel happier. Kevin is a beast, and Avi is amazing; but Mitch is the freekin BOSS. I love him in this song.
2:04 Wow I think it is really amazing how Mitch can control his voice like that. Here, the high notes are so soft vs when he sings live they are so "intense" and "out there". That's insane, I love it 👏😍
I love that his voice cracks and still he keeps going, True artist cause not everyone can just pick up up again and keep it moving as nicely as he did LOVE THIS GROUP
Can we talk about how much this song has evolved over the years? Especially Mitch? When they sing it live now..there is almost more power in his voice than I can handle.
In the section starting at 2:05 you can see pretty clearly that on each of the sharp "K" sounds he's making, he's actually breathing in. Gah, he's so amazing to watch/listen to.
One of the reasons that they're so fantastic is the way their beatboxer and bass synergize. And then those overtones. I'll need to practice a lot for my overtones to reach that level.
"oh! my voice cracked" 0:32
I had to ;)
*Cracked
+Two Bees I had to
Cracked is also their new song 😂
AND SCOTT SMILED
0:31
Jessica Chang Dang it I hate when my voice crakes
Kevin is SO spot on with his beatboxing in this. It's INSANE! It just supports my theory that he's not human, but a living drumset (with hands to play the cello and a silly laugh to melt hearts)

Yeah i use this video as the example for how impossible beat boxing for an a cappella group can be.
(( 0:32 I actually found the voice crack adorable "oh my voice cracked." XD ))
Jamie! JAMIE!!!!
Oh he is so adorable
Avi's low pitched laugh at the end was just.....magical...
That’s so very cute
I hate how people think that they auto tune, they're obviously that amazing!
JRey Ranoco they are amazing
Even people as perfect at singing as them will be slightly off on a note at times. Like in this performance it wasn't all absolutely spot on. They likely used a bit of autotune or pitch correction software to make sure the notes were completely accurate.
If you think that is good see the video with them sing in Singapore Star Vista.
They still use auto tune but they still sound great without it
Seriously though Kevin is so epic .HOW DOES HE DO IT
I'm 95% sure that he is a robot;-):-P
+Luna Af it is the only explanation ! I agree !
I know he's so good
Ellie Mason through continuous sneezing 'w'
Ellie M lots and lots and lots and lots and oh LOTS of practice
I love them all, but sometimes it's hard to believe that Kevin is human when I see how he beatboxes.
Ikr !! I can't deal with it :))
What about Avi
lol I think at 1:13 Scott is trying to subtly bring Mitch back into the camera
HAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaahhauahuahu Very explicit and well seen.
Ya, I saw that too! I had to reply it 3 times to see why he reached over at him lol
For the first time ever I heard Mitch's voice crack. I love when amazing singers have little mess up moments every once in a while. It reminds us that they are still human 😍😍💛💙💜💚❤💖💕
I though they were angels o.o
Miss Cheetah o-o
Mitch: The others voices are fine...
BUT MINE'S CRACKED.
couldn't resist :)
"my voice cracks, i wait for it to pass." 😂
SquishyMissyMinecraft 0:30
Mitch is ADORABLE!
1:12 Scott pulls Mitch back into frame
xD that's so funny
omg i still can't get it, i know it is there but i don't see it D:
Daniel Corredor Mora his arm moves back into his lap.
But Noone is giving avi any credit for his beautiful overtone -_-
TRUEEE! But that's like all I focus on in this song is Avi and his amazing overtones! YES!
That. Was. Sublime. Mitch's voice crack only makes him human which just makes this more fun. Their ability to hold pitch is just amazing.
His beat boxing is absolutely incredible
Kyle Duncan dat would be kevin. A god and legend
Literally one second after singing Scott and Kirstie go on their phones XD
+Gabriella Gideon-silva They probably had to pause being on their phone for this XD
this video is from a livestream, and Scott and Kirstie were checking the comments on it.
mitch:oh my voice cracked 😨 he was so cute!!! 😍😍tho at the end when he was like 'i know what my most embarrassing moment is..' i was like 'mitchy mitchy too biggie to be here stressin' 😂😂
Alhemičarka NOW WERE STRESSED OUT... sorry
I'm always impressed by how low Avi's voice is. I wish as a female I could go as low as that.
Marie Eve SAME! I'm a soprano who can hit whistle notes but I've always wondered what it would be like to sing that low...
I'm a contralto, but I have a whistle register... I've always wondered what it would be like to sing high.
Raises hand... I can. Always could sing low, and have gotten progressively lower. I do what a soprano does, but in reverse. Chest voice as low as I can go, then drop into my diaphragm. Lower than that, I use growl mode.
Mitch's voice crack gives me life
Q-sister same
How does Kevin not get face ache 😉
Practice
Avi:Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,haa
face ache...im sorry why is that so funny
Izzy Duffy He’s a god 😂
Izzy Duffy he does
I like how Kristen just takes out her phone by the time there done singing XD
That's just a big FAT YES! (No insult included)
No srsly no insult!
And Scott
Tf it's Kirstin😒
Kirstie*
I fucking swear Mitch stay in frame😂
I know right my ocd was going crazy I literally yelled SIT ON SCOTT'S LAP IF YOU FREAKING HAVE TO
+Karina Rubalcava THAT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED OMFG YESSSS
Mitch is so awesome, he missed exactly zero beats to say "Oh my God, my voice cracked."
You can see them all trying to keep it together after mitches voice crack 😂😂
It's funny the way:
1. Kirstie took her phone out right after the song
2. Mitch's voice cracked
3. Kevin's expression when he was beatboxing was making me laugh
Jesus, Kevin... he's so dope, I wish I could beatbox like that.
Mitch's voice>>> I DO NOT UNDERSTAND LIFE
This is real singing, none of that editing like the famous people do. We should have singers and groups like this.
You do realize that on their albums they edit a ton, right?
ShadowMassacr13 and do you realize they're not in tune at all? I'm surprised, most of their live material is quality, though.
Antti Saari
In tune or on _key_?
did kevin breath?
lianechantal 😂 no..... he is superhuman
lianechantal what's breathing?
When he do the k snare he breath inward which helps him to inhale
Inward k snare... Plus, he can phonate like me while beatboxing (I can't beatbox that good though) so he can be beatboxing and sucking in air through is nose.
Here is a video of him explaining it. (Not that anyone will see it this many years later.) ruclips.net/video/VTAIVdiJskA/видео.html
this video gave me a CRAZY appreciation of Kevin's work. This guy is KILLIN IT!!!
Scott just sitting there like yup this is easy😂
Jess_K he gets the only easy part here
So. . .this guy with the green shirt down front would make an AWESOME classical singer. Even though his voice is mostly imitative of instrumentation, his technique reflects classical training. This whole group is amazing. I've never even heard this song, but you guys make me want to go listen to it!
totally straight guy here..and i would date mitch..he's so adorable and we sing very similarly and omgg i love him
We all would date Mitch XD
Omg that was sooooo awesome!!!!!! I love how Mitch kept going lol 😋 i love u guys!💖💖
Avi and Kevin really show how taxing this is. Outstanding work ptx
best pentatonix song ever!!! the arrangements are perfect !
its actually a cover, the original is by imogen heap
my mans kevin killin it
Is nobody gonna mention how amazing avi's bass is? Always will be my favourite 🥺❤️
Watching this in 2023. First, they are still amazing when they perform this number. It’s only gotten better as thier voices have matured. Second, I’ve been a PTX fan for years, and this might be the only time I’ve ever heard Mitch ‘mess up’. ❤❤❤
Just finding this treasure! Shows how far they have come in 8 years 👏
Kevin here is absolutely ridiculous...trying to follow along with his beatboxing is impossible
You can't tell me Avi doesn't look funny from 1:44-1:49.
thats cuz hes doing the overtone, singing two notes at once. if you listen closely you hear the top note that sounds a bit different that actual singing, thats him singing his note and creating that ringing note on top
It's got to be hard getting the note out, so you can't blame him for his effort at least he got the note.
@@cherie914 He's just singing one note... The high note is an off harmony of the voice. Overtones are easy, but he's a master with a lot of training. But, he messed up the melody, that's why he was with that face.
おぉすごい(語彙力ぅぅううぅう)
do you ever just listen to kevin beat boxing and just like die of how talented he is?!?
Kevin absolutely killing it.
I just wonder if Kevin have to make a Beat boxing sheets for himself because if not, he must be a real beatbox monster to be able to remeber all the combination he has made for all Pentatonix song!! And I didn't think that Scott is the one that hit the high note :). Cost him a red face :)))).
Scott didn't make a high note i think you mixed him up with mitch
+Karina Rubalcava I'm saying that in the nicest way possible
+Karina Rubalcava At 1:42 i think that Mitch and Scott hit the same note, and Scott even hit it longer than Mitch. Or maybe I've made a mistake.
+Minh Huyen idk really but that is so cool if Scott did too
Kevin is just incredible.
Kevin and Avi is so amazing!
If I had four thumbs, they'd all be pointing skyward right now.

I saw them in concert last February and they were AMAZING
I love how because they are their instruments they can casual perform anytime anywhere if they wanted :D
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ugh
Omg his voice crack haha it's so cute
wow Kevin...
Exactly!
Igor Machado de Souza folks dont get how fucking hard that sound is beat box wise.. it was sick
1:25 that smol Avi's "lalalalala" and "doop, doop" killed me
Holy $#$#$, Batman! Over a live-stream? ... AMAZING! Even being an audience recording & what sounds like a blown-out speaker (lol, thx avi?) ... their performance of this at the Star Vista in Singpore from like 5+ yrs ago, I must have listened to hundreds of times now. Have been singing my entire life & THAT.... has to be the absolute best timed, emoted, performed & unique sounding thing I've EVER EVER heard or witnessed. Just... stellar talent & teamwork there.

SO well done.. thanks for sharing!
Avi's bass is insane. When this is stuck in my head, that's the part I think of most.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG AVI AND MITCH!!!! AND THIS VID PROVES THAT THEY R AMAZING EVEN IF THEY ARE LIVE
左下の黒人さんめっちゃボイパ頑張りますやん〜
Thats Kevin
This is like my get pumped song, I swear!! Every time I listen to it I just feel happier.
Kevin is a beast, and Avi is amazing; but Mitch is the freekin BOSS. I love him in this song.
2:04 Wow I think it is really amazing how Mitch can control his voice like that. Here, the high notes are so soft vs when he sings live they are so "intense" and "out there". That's insane, I love it 👏😍
the harmonies in this song is simply amazing.
I love that his voice cracks and still he keeps going, True artist cause not everyone can just pick up up again and keep it moving as nicely as he did LOVE THIS GROUP
I am going to their constert in Soma SO HAPPY
Avi was amazing! Absolutely breathtaking!!!

It's even more perfect because it's still so amazing when it's live. They blow my mind.
日本の音楽も素晴らしいが外国の音楽はやはり素晴らしいな…日本とは違った良さがある
I'm blown away! Wow, you guys are AWESOME!
can we talk about avi and mitch messing up
+Jozelle Banks what did avi do?
no
WAAAAAAAAYYYYY Off key
oh lol im not a singer i dont have an ear lol
What did Avi do??
Avi's facial expressions are on point
AMAZING blend of voices. I also apprecite the command of dynamic control.
i cant stop listening to this ! i listen to pentatonix every single day for at least 4 hours
Can we talk about how much this song has evolved over the years? Especially Mitch? When they sing it live now..there is almost more power in his voice than I can handle.
IT SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME IN THE MUSIC VIDEOO
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!
Even though Mitch's voice cracked, he pulled it off and sang his heart out like he always does. He's adorable. :3
I FALL IN LOVE WT ALL UR VOICES!!!! I CANNT EVEN CHOICE, CZ UR EVERYONE IS GREAT!!!!! BRAVO!!! THX GOD U R FOUND EACH OTHER!!!!!! THAAAAAAAAAANKS!!!!!
How the hell is this not one of the most watched videos ever...If you seek talent this is the pure depiction of it...
I love avi and mitch so mitch. And kevins drumming omg so perfect!!!
1:47 - 1:50 Mitch's little riff gives me life .
That's Avi overtone singing, aka singing a whistle tone on top of his bass notes.
It's actually Scott aha. You can see him emote when he does it
+Communism yeah Mitch dos a riff too
I KNOW THAT WAS REALLY GOOD
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, Kevin is just........ MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!! AWESOMEEEEE!!!!
Mitch is a beast
Miss the simpler times👌
Possibly the only live version in which Avi does the overtone
OMG FOREVER. That was unbelievably - incredulously, amazingly, awesome. All I did was click the video and this is what happened.
Mitch's voice is so angelic. I love him so much
Amazing! Mitch has a beautiful voice. These kids are great!
omg the babies! they look so young its insane! I love how thet just candidly did one of their songs and it was glorious!
す、すげぇ…
Just the way Mitch sings is freaking beautiful...
AND I can finally hear everyone. This is a good mix, Kiddies.
In the section starting at 2:05 you can see pretty clearly that on each of the sharp "K" sounds he's making, he's actually breathing in. Gah, he's so amazing to watch/listen to.
One of the reasons that they're so fantastic is the way their beatboxer and bass synergize. And then those overtones. I'll need to practice a lot for my overtones to reach that level.
I love them all ❤ but...
Oh my God ! Kevin 😲😲 INSANE !
Scott...OMG @ 1:42 - 1:52!!! Kirstie and Avi are superb!!! Mitch and Kevin are ridiculous!!!
You guys are freaking BRILLIANT!
this is so pure omfg
