Pentatonix fans refer to ourselves as Pentaholics 😊. We’re very loyal fans and don’t mind at all for you to use filters and stopping a lot for copyright issues. We’re all used to it and just want to hear your reactions. PTX has a huge catalog in general, and are well known for their Christmas music. Welcome to going down the Pentatonix rabbit hole! I guarantee that you will become a Pentaholic very soon. Thank you for your reaction ❤
Really easy trick on their names. Print out their group picture, write their names next to each of them, then tape it to your desk where we can't see it, and use as a cheat sheet, until you know them. It's much less disrespectful to both them and their fans. ☮️Steve
@@GeorgeTheCloud... no worries, really am just offering an easy solution. I didn't word the last part well, because I know you're not purposely trying to be disrespectful to anyone. I can sense that it's just not in your nature. 👍🏼
I just want to point out something many reactors miss here. These are two different songs, two different genres, pure imagination 1971, Charlie brown christmas for christmastime is here was '65. Both songs were being played together the entire song. They just switch from which one is dominant and the other the undertone. Then Scott and mitch sang the chorus from both songs at the same time and they sound seemless. I want to see ptx have to pick out of a bag two random song titles, completely unrelated. Then they have to make a song with them both. This is so woven together its magic. Ya this was not high for mitch. He's a counter tenor, which means in his natural vocal range he can hit soprano and go higher than kirsty. And falsetto. Tho I've seen him still use falsetto. You can tell the difference by how effortless it is for him and how full the notes sound. Mitch my favorite.
Hi there, thanks for your comment and observations. Yes I think I might have missed that this was 2 songs merged together, and it could be because they did it so flawlessly and also made it a song of their own, which is what I want to see when an artist covers another artists song. Very talented people with much training, I imagine that this doesn't necessarily come naturally completely, many hours of hard work! Welcome to the Channel!
Mitch can go higher! He's wonderful. With PTX their recording company can be very hard for reactors. Look into blurring or putting filters over the videos. Pentaholics don't care about the video clarity. We watch for your reaction. Now - Thanos - Scott Hoying, Freddie Mercury -Mitch Grassi, Kim Kardashian (sorry YUCK!) - Kirstin (Kirstie) Maldanado, Usher - Matt Sallee. The cello player, beat boxer and tenor when he sings is Kevin Olusola. Later on you will see Avi Kaplan who was their first bass and with PTX until 2017. I've often heard his look compared to Jesus. Matt replaced Avi. That is the only change in personnel this group has had but both Mitch and Kirstie change their look frequently.
Hi there, thanks for your insightful comment and describing the musicians. Sounds like a lot of PTX fans really dislike Kim Kardashian haha. We will see how to deal with copyright in future videos, thanks for the advice!
Subbed for PTX. Love them so much. They will blow your mind again and again. 2011-2017.Their bass was the wonderful Avi Kaplan. he left for personal reasons. ( sick mom and he needed to slow down from constant touring ) Enter Matt Sallee. Current bass 2017- now. That’s the only personal change. Mitch and Kristan’s looks change constantly but it’s always them Mitch, Scott and Kristie grew up together in Texas. They went on a tv show. The sing off in 2011 with Kevin and Avi. They won. And began as Pentatonix No comparisons with others PLEASE. !!! Mitch. Counter tenor Scott. Baritone Kristie. Mezzo Soprano Kevin. Beat boxer, tenor, Cello/ boxing Matt. Base Look these people are their own people. Kevin is not a football player. He is an artist He is a master classically trained cellist, he invented cello boxing , He graduated pre med from Yale Spent a year and half in China and speaks fluent mandarin, he was born with perfect pitch Please read about them. These are genius level artists Kirstie has been on Broadway and has increasingly become talented at song writing. Her singing is strong and beautiful. Never heard her compared to a kardashian before ?????😂
I definitely got a giggle about the thanos and kardashian comparisons. Freddie mercury of course is a normal comparison for Mitch! Usher and a football player are a little funny, but thanos and kardashian take the cake.
Hi there, thanks for the wonderful explanation and description, I really appreciate it. Do keep in mind that I have a weird sense of humor and my comparisons to them was solely for comedic value and it was related to their appearance not their talent. As an artist, I think my mind likes to connect things with similarities and it happens with people too. I will try to remember their names and their stories!
Glad you enjoyed the commentary! Again, just to be clear, the comparisons were for comedic purposes only, with a connection to appearances but not their talents of course.
Kirstie has more class, beauty, and talent in her little finger than Kim Kardashian could ever hope to have. I liked your reaction, but that was a terrible comparison.
Hi there, thanks for your support. My comparisons were just for fun, not to be taken seriously at all. I also compared one guy to Thanos so I’m comedic more of the time!
I'm never sure how much US culture you foreign reactors have been exposed to, especially older songs like these, but this is a mashup of two songs that remind us older US people of our childhood-- "Christmas Time is Here" from the Charlie Brown Christmas special and "Pure Imagination" from the first Willie Wonka movie.
I would say "hard to imagine two more different songs than Kiss From a Rose and this mashup of Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is Here" - but it's really not, when you look over the PTX catalog. The two most popular videos on their channel are Hallelujah and Daft Punk - and those two are just as different! The "credits' at the end under the Special Thanks label are actually the highest tier of the PTX Patrons, not anyone directly connected to the video.
Hi there, thanks for clarifying that final part. I'm excited to check the other 2 songs you mentioned, I have a lot of catching up to do. Welcome to the Channel!
Put a thin line in the middle of your videos. Kevin plays cello, beatboxes & sings. (. There's no Mark ) Matt....replaced Avi... is the bass. Scott is baritone mostly leads. Kirsty (sounds like thirsty) is the soprano.
I'm subbing in hopes of more Pentatonix but their label and VEVO are really aggressive about blocking. The fact that you are non-US may change the rules, but it's the video that triggers the block, so most reactors heavily alter the video -- reduce the size, increase the transparency and / or overlay a graphic or some text. A few reactors just appeal the block and they seem to usually get clearance fairly quickly, though getting monetized is hard. Since the audio isn't a problem, you can react to RUclips audios or live versions without problems. Good luck !
Hi there, thanks for the support, Welcome aboard! Yes, it's very tricky navigating the RUclips copyright rules. For this one it was blocked the first 48 hours and it won't get monetized, but I don't mind since I'd rather have a good quality out there and not edit it to the point where it's hard to watch. We will see what happens with further videos!
I know you are a beatbox fan, so I wasn't sure if you'd like this, since this is one of their songs where they leave out the vocal percussion and allow Kevin (not Mark☺) to sing so they can add more notes to the harmony. For a good beatboxing Pentatonix Christmas song, try "Last Christmas" -- ruclips.net/video/fjA3lsHAIqE/видео.html

I think I'm already a fan, really enjoy their style and appreciate their talent! Thanks for your support!
Their music holds up well over time. So welcome to the party. Fall down this rabbit hole!
I have fallen already Randy! New PTX video coming soon, stay tuned. Welcome to the Channel!
Their voices are heavenly! Glad to see you enjoying their music.
I really do, it was a good find!

2011-2017.Their bass was the wonderful Avi Kaplan. he left for personal reasons. ( sick mom and he needed to slow down from constant touring )
Enter Matt Sallee. Current bass
2017- now. That’s the only personal change. Mitch and Kristan’s looks change constantly but it’s always them
Mitch, Scott and Kristie grew up together in Texas. They went on a tv show. The sing off in 2011 with Kevin and Avi. They won.
And began as Pentatonix
No comparisons with others PLEASE. !!!
Mitch. Counter tenor
Scott. Baritone
Kristie. Mezzo Soprano
Kevin. Beat boxer, tenor, Cello/ boxing
Matt. Base
Look these people are their own people. Kevin is not a football player.
He is an artist
He is a master classically trained cellist, he invented cello boxing ,
He graduated pre med from Yale
Spent a year and half in China and speaks fluent mandarin, he was born with perfect pitch
Please read about them. These are genius level artists
Kirstie has been on Broadway and has increasingly become talented at song writing. Her singing is strong and beautiful.
Never heard her compared to a kardashian before ?????😂

I totally agree!! Kirstie would be horrified to be compared to that fake, spoiled, talent-less person.
Hi there, thanks for your support. My comparisons were just for fun, not to be taken seriously at all. I also compared one guy to Thanos so I’m comedic more of the time!
I apologize to Kristie in advance!
