Good sirs, this new base is Matt Sallee. He is INCREDIBLE, and absolutely my favorite. He arguably has the best true range in the group, but the energy he’s injected in them... it’s hard to believe he wasn’t there from the beginning. I love Avi still, he is unreasonably talented. In my humble opinion though, the group has never sounded better than they do now.
@@mamajenkins1981 Right? Makes me feel old. Every time I see a reactor struggle with figuring what song that beat comes from, I’m like “Seriously?! How can you not know Aaliyah?” Then I get depressed when I realize it’s probably before their time and that makes me feel worse. Lol. 😩🤣
@@ericag4597 3 of my kids grew up with Aaliyah ( I'm the mom so I get a pass if I spell the name incorrectly because I'm trying my best but.. I'm a mom!) and those three kids are now ages 33 to 37! My youngest turns 20 in about a month! I'm truly old and keep getting reminded when I have to do the math when I hear songs like this covered by Pentatonix! Those are Timbalands' Beats he wrote for his friend Aaliyah! Love it! So sad we lost her so young. R.I.P Aaliyah 💖
@@mecfstraveler I remember listening to Aaliyah when I was in middle school and high school. Now I’m starting to feel old and nostalgic 😩🤣 I think I’ve only watched one reactor, maybe 2, that recognized the song was by Aaliyah but also note that the beat was created by Dr. Dre. On the other hand I saw a pair of reactors think they were the lyrics to a TLC song! 🤣🤣🤦🏽♀️
New sub for more PTX! They have released an EP, an LP and 10 music videos in 2020!! These guys WORK and they are masters at their craft! Sound of Silence and Mad World are stunning!
I’m so glad you didn’t cut out the dog barking. I have 2 that never stop. Greetings from Southern California. 😂 New subscriber here. 👋🏼 I’m so glad that you gave so much love to Matt. He doesn’t get enough. The “new guy” has been with the group as long as Avi was. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE me some Avi. But Matt doesn’t get enough love from everyone. Oh and I might comment often, I know it helps your channel. Don’t worry I don’t expect any responses. Bye for now. 🤭🤗💋
Subscribed for PTX. I love watching someone discover PTX. You have literally hundreds of videos to choose from. Ranging across every genre of music. They formed in 2011. Also two members organized a 2 man side group called Superfruit whose debut album is 🔥. Welcome to the rabbit hole of PTX.
You guys are so funny, awesome and handsome! This is my favorite mashup from them handsdown. There's absolutely no words left after watching a PTX video. I loved your reaction for Matt's bass he killed it on this track. He's a wonderful repladement for the great Avi. The bells sound is gorgeous. Great analysis at the end. Perfect reaction ! You should react to " Sound of silence" from them. New subscriber for sure!!!
I love how you enjoy and appreciate this cover which is also a great mash up of the two songs. Haha you were really into the beat! It's curious that of all the Christmas songs of Pentatonix, Alex remembers "White Winter Hymnal". Wonder why? It's the least reacted to and rarely mentioned in comments. You noticed the bell tones, great! Subbed!!
Matt the new bass since late 2017 is Amazing in his lower and higher voice, you must react to sound of silence then you will see also there new Christmas album is killing it
Everyone in the group is also doing their own thing. Avi also left because of personal issues that prevented him from being as committed to this group. He helped choose Matt (the new bass) and Matt is good. He's part of the ever-growing family now.
Loved the reaction! Subscribing for more Pentatonix! You’ve missed a lot in your four years! Matt is AMAZING. As someone said, it’s New Rules by Dua Lipa matched up with Aaliyah/Timberland’s beat from Are You That Somebody, and it’s one of my favorites. They’ve been coming out with a lot of new stuff recently...check it out!
You guys are awesome! It's so fun watching someone trying to explain Pentatonix to a newbie! Alex, you're doing a great job. Am totally for here for any more PTX
Matt Sallee is the new Bass... Avi left on his own stating he wanted to spend more time with his family and friends altho he went solo.... doesnt make sense but Im still following him cause hes also amazing
Thats a Timbaland beat dudes ! Aaliyah had the song "are you that somebody" god rest her beautiful soul and that beat is 🔥 I'm an old, Irish mum and music is UNIVERSAL ✌ This brings me riiiight back ! Absolutely LOVE PTX and this track is AMAZING
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks. Matt, the current bass is amazing. He has the lead on "You're A Mean One Mr Grinch" ruclips.net/video/6KdLcd-sUQA/видео.html . He also has a great solo in "Sound Of Silence" ruclips.net/video/gdVjVtpr55M/видео.html .
If you are really iNTo PTX, Check out some of their older stuff, also I have been a PTX fan since they first sung on a show called the sing-off, produced by Shawn stockman from Boys to Men. That is where they started, Season 3. The show was dedicated to accapella groups. In 2011, so 12 years ago they brought the house down time and time again. I will love them forever and in the words of Shawn Stockman, " Scott is an absolute beast".
As people have said, Matt Sallee replaced Avi in 2017. Avi left cuz their touring schedule was really messing with his health and his mom was sick. He helped find Matt. He has an awesome solo career going. React to change on the rise by Avi Kaplan. Since it's Christmas you must do Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which they won a Grammy for. Also Mary Did You Know and in the last three months they have dropped a lot of new videos some of them are Originals . Be my eyes. Happy Now. Thank you. The song you were talking about was probably Hallelujah which is a must . Also Matt is the only singer in You're a Mean One mr. Grinch and their rendition of 12 Days of Christmas is invigorating. Amazing Grace is simply amazing. My first time at your Channel. Very enthusiastic. I will subscribe if you remove the pick from your hair. You're giving me flashbacks to the seventies that I really care to forget. Yes is blackmail or passive aggressive whatever works. But I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and your reaction
Go watch Kevin's song Down. KO sings, beat boxes, and an instrument you'd love it. Maybe as a second choice Renegade by KO. I love PTX but KO has some gems of his own. I think KO and Kirstin have the best solo stuff like her song Naked.
You guys are awesome! I just subbed. 😊 You should check out some of their live performances! I'd highly recommend the "AHA!" Live in Singapore performance! It's with Avi and he does some of his overtones in it - very unique & he about blows out the sound system! 😅 But the star of that performance is Mitch! OMG! He's amazing! 💕
Aha Singapore the Star Vista Avi and Mitch are insane you might also like Superfruit - Scott and Mitch songs (they are really good) . They also did evolutions of Beyonce, Rihanna, Arianna, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus Hope you react to some of these...love watching you guys
Again Rainych was in a Japanese tv programme. In that show we can see Doja Cat reacted to Rainych covers her song "Say so" in Japanese and the result? Doja Cat was blown away. You guys can watch it here and don't forget to turn on the subtitle 👉 ruclips.net/video/tGTpqdaqbtk/видео.html
If you really like Mitch, then I'm positive you'd like Mitch & Scott's RUclips channel, Superfruit! They do mashups of other artists and you get to hear a LOT more solo Mitch vocals. Even if you don't react to it, it's worth checking out!
dua lipa New rules, Aaliyah are you that somebody. Matt Sallee is the new bass, and his base lines are crazy!! I tell people to listen to "Can you fell the love tonight" just for his bass line. They now have a total of 4.5 BILLION views of their vids. Just sayin
Yeah it’s five voices, but it’s studio mixed. Their vocals are layered and they all do multiple parts. Their five voices are more like 10 at times. The mixing and mastering is also pristine.
not true at all, they don't do anything they cant perform live. everything you hear is them, the only thing they may add is reverb when mixing nothing else. they layer voices but they don't record and layer multiple parts. i, don't know where you got this idea.
Good sirs, this new base is Matt Sallee. He is INCREDIBLE, and absolutely my favorite.

I fully agree with the energy and the new vibe that Matt has brought to PTX
Absolutely agree!
Absolutely 💯 agree!!!
My favorite too! He goes crazy. Swaggy, smooth bass. Brings a nice vibe too
OMG ... those frigging base runs. Incredible!
Pentatonix is awesome. More please. more....more.....more.
It’s Aaliyah “are you that somebody” 😂😂 and then mashed up with dua lipa “new rules”
Thank youuuuuuuuu
You can tell when a reactor is really young 🤣

You need to check out their live version of Gold. Mitch’s voice is insane in it.
Sound of silence and amazing grace. That is all
I liked your analogy of curling the whole song. Most people don’t understand how important the bass and beatboxer are to the feel of the song.
All of that sound...all of that excitement you had...no music, just their voices. They are so amazing!
Great reaction!!! Matt is the bass and he is absolutly amazing!!
This has become one of my favorite PTX songs. You should check out their cover of Havana
How on earth i just found this????? Awesome reaction !!! More PTX please!
😂😂 so freaking good!
Sound of silence and hallelujah and amazing grace
Love your excitement over them. Can't wait to see you do more Pentatonix reactions.
Welcome to the rabbit hole!! Please do more!!
More Pentatonix please 😁 Sound of Silence, Mad World,Gold, Sing, La la latch, Amazing Grace, My favorite things...❤️❤️
New sub for more PTX! They have released an EP, an LP and 10 music videos in 2020!! These guys WORK and they are masters at their craft! Sound of Silence and Mad World are stunning!
Love your reactions! More PTX pls! 😍
More PTX reactor(s) - subscribed!! Can’t wait to see more of their videos being react too!!! Let’s go!!! #pentaholic

"Wait, that's it??" Most common phrase after watching a PTX video, lol
Awesome reaction 👍 thanks for this 🔥🔥🔥
Lovely reaction, PTX are fire 🙌🔥 Hope you will react to more of their performances ☺️

They are superb arrangers of mash-ups and medleys. And no one does those bell tones like they do.
Matt the new bass since late 2017 is Amazing in his lower and higher voice, you must react to sound of silence then you will see also there new Christmas album is killing it
I loved this reaction. And you two are too cute 😊 !!
Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer. You should definitely check out his solo work.
Everyone in the group is also doing their own thing. Avi also left because of personal issues that prevented him from being as committed to this group. He helped choose Matt (the new bass) and Matt is good. He's part of the ever-growing family now.
I love the way Mitch looks in this....its my favourite look personally!.

Would love you to do more newer PTX! You could Mr. Grinch and 12 Days of Christmas!
You guys are awesome! It's so fun watching someone trying to explain Pentatonix to a newbie! Alex, you're doing a great job. Am totally for here for any more PTX
Matt Sallee is the new Bass... Avi left on his own stating he wanted to spend more time with his family and friends altho he went solo.... doesnt make sense but Im still following him cause hes also amazing
I think the touring schedule was too much for him. And everyone else has done solo stuff too
He left because of the touring schedule, yet he is touring with his new band. Doesn't really add up.
This group is totally EPIC!!!! Happy you guys enjoyed the video. You guys are so much FUN!!! Great reactors. 😉
Wow, I love your reaction.
You 2 are adorable. 🙂🤗
Please, PLEASE do their Sing-Off journey!!! I'm here for every episode. You two make me smile. :-)
Thats a Timbaland beat dudes ! Aaliyah had the song "are you that somebody" god rest her beautiful soul and that beat is 🔥
I'm an old, Irish mum and music is UNIVERSAL ✌ This brings me riiiight back !
Absolutely LOVE PTX and this track is AMAZING

Yasssssss I love Pentatonix!!!!!
Matt kills it on bass.
Definitely react to Pentatonix singing The Sound Of Silence!

Ready for more PTX ❤
It's a mash up of "New Rules" by Dua Lipa and "Are You That Somebody" by Aliyah. F***ing brilliant, yeah?
Ahhh THank you so much!!! It was familiar just couldn't figure it out!!!
@@Amicy now you have to keep doing Pentatonix reactions. You can't stop with just one. There is a reason we are called Pentaholics.
😂😂😂😂 we are hooked!! Stay tuned!!!
That other song was Are you that somebody by Alliyah
I’m kind of the same with the beatbox and the bass. If that comes in strong, I’m a goner. Haha
As people have said, Matt Sallee replaced Avi in 2017. Avi left cuz their touring schedule was really messing with his health and his mom was sick. He helped find Matt. He has an awesome solo career going. React to change on the rise by Avi Kaplan.
Since it's Christmas you must do Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which they won a Grammy for. Also Mary Did You Know and in the last three months they have dropped a lot of new videos some of them are Originals . Be my eyes. Happy Now. Thank you.

My first time at your Channel. Very enthusiastic. I will subscribe if you remove the pick from your hair. You're giving me flashbacks to the seventies that I really care to forget. Yes is blackmail or passive aggressive whatever works. But I really enjoyed your enthusiasm and your reaction
Subbed for more PTX
The bass line at the beginning is from Aaliya's Are you That Somebody. Great bass line. I miss Aaliyah. She was so good.
This was so good
That’s how you do a cappella! Please do more. Your channel will blow up!!! Judy D.
Yes check out Gold live , and you have to watch LA LA Latch, omg incredible
You guys are going to be doing The Sing Off?? For PTX? Thats keeping it Amicy
Be sure to watch their cover for Kiiara's GOLD, it's magnificent. Thanks for reaction, so fun. They also have a new original album, awesome.
Matt is the bass.
Thank you!!
Go watch Kevin's song Down. KO sings, beat boxes, and an instrument you'd love it. Maybe as a second choice Renegade by KO. I love PTX but KO has some gems of his own. I think KO and Kirstin have the best solo stuff like her song Naked.
PLEEEEASE do Pentatonix Evolution of Rihanna!
You would end up getting your 10000 new subscribers if you did some more PTX. LOTS of Pentaholics out here who would love your reactions. I did.
We will once Alex returns next month, all of our videos that are uploaded now have already been recorded prior to Alex leaving 😃😃
You guys are awesome! I just subbed. 😊 You should check out some of their live performances! I'd highly recommend the "AHA!" Live in Singapore performance!

You all are awesome. I'm assuming someone has told you a new video premiers today
Nope nobody told us but we here for it
Cello. It was cello that Kevin plays.
If you really like Mitch, then I'm positive you'd like Mitch & Scott's RUclips channel, Superfruit! They do mashups of other artists and you get to hear a LOT more solo Mitch vocals. Even if you don't react to it, it's worth checking out!
They have to react to Havana, happy now, sing and more from pentatonix
“Are You that Somebody” is by Aaliyah. RIH baby girl
dua lipa New rules, Aaliyah are you that somebody. Matt Sallee is the new bass, and his base lines are crazy!! I tell people to listen to "Can you fell the love tonight" just for his bass line. They now have a total of 4.5 BILLION views of their vids. Just sayin
Please react to their THE SOUND OF SILENCE cover 💖
Matt is the best fam
Amazing selection for sure
Check out the 90s Dance Medley
once you said Avi’s name i literally bust out crying 😢😢😢 i miss him 🥺
The beat boxer name is Kevin.
Matt Sallee..Yay!!
And not to forget, Rainych also made a cover for "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd in Japanese. Watch here 👉 ruclips.net/video/E22RKYWzZG4/видео.html
You were close with Justin Timberlake bc it was Timalands beats in the are you that somebody song.
Heard PTX rap yet?? " Can't Stop Us " check it out. 🤗
Mano muito bom
Accapella, no instruments period!
Not yall not knowing the artist Aaliyah and i'm 16 come on now XD
Check out the Bruno Mars cover of finesse
Avi recommended Matt.
Avi is miles above Matt. Mostly because they aren’t the same bass. Their tambres are not the same, but Avi’s range is far superior
Akilla
Age is shown, don’t know who the Queen is? Aaliyah should be a staple in your music haha
Ptx havana,
why dont you guys react to bts anymore? :(
Yeah it’s five voices, but it’s studio mixed. Their vocals are layered and they all do multiple parts. Their five voices are more like 10 at times. The mixing and mastering is also pristine.
Not true.
not true at all, they don't do anything they cant perform live. everything you hear is them, the only thing they may add is reverb when mixing nothing else. they layer voices but they don't record and layer multiple parts. i, don't know where you got this idea.
Too much yelling for me. The song was good but hard to concentrate with the yelling and being loud
