It's just amazing to see someone get Mitch-slapped for the very first time. Individually, these are five very talented people. Collectively, they create something greater than the sum of their parts. They become something totally other, something very, very special.
I would recommend their Grammy-winning "Daft Punk", a mashup of seven songs from the electronic duo of the same name. When you watch it, know that the audio was recorded in a closet, the video was shot in an apartment kitchen, and the total budget was $400. That was the recording that convinced RCA to sign them
An introduction to Pentatonix for you: Scott: the tall blonde guy in the middle with the first solo. He's the baritone of the group but has a range of about 4 octaves. He's just as comfortable harmonizing on the high notes as he is taking the bass line when Avi is singing. Speaking of which... Avi: the guy with the beanie and the second solo. He's an amazing opera trained bass and doesn't have many solo parts but he always kills it when he does sing. He left the group in 2017 on good terms with the rest of the members and helped find his replacement, Matt. Kirstin: the only female in the group, she had the third solo. She has the least solos of the main 3 that you'll find, but she always kills it when she does sing(examples are Say Something, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, all of which are among their best work) Mitch: He's the man with the amazing voice and the final solo in this song. He's a tenor, and has a purely angelic voice. He also has an amazing range, I've heard 5 octaves before. Kevin: an AMAZING beatboxer, that's his main role, but he occasionally shows off his beautiful tenor voice (Imagine is a great example) and his skills with the cello, which he can play while beatboxing simultaneously. Pentatonix got their start on an old competition show called the Sing Off where acapella groups competed against each other for a $200,000 cash prize and a recording contract. Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch sang in choir together in school and have been best friends since they were teenagers. They found Avi through a friend and Kevin through one of his "cello boxing"(playing the cello and beatboxing) videos that went viral. They won the competition, you can still find the performances on RUclips. It's amazing to watch them grow throughout the show. Unfortunately, the record label dropped them shortly after they moved out to make music, so they persevered and self produced for a while until they were picked up by another label. They are the only acapella group to ever win a Grammy, and they have won 3: for their Daft Punk medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene ft. Dolly Parton. They're an amazing group, every one of them is one of the most talented singers in the world, and they have never released a bad song imo. Yes they do sound the same live, and yes it is all acapella. They never use instruments except for the occasional use of a cello when they feel it enhances the song (like their covers of Radioactive, Say Something, and Perfect). They have a rule that if they can't do it live they can't release it. I recommend all 3 songs above, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Sound of Silence, and anything else you want to hear! Their Grammy winners are all insanely good. Welcome to musical bliss!
Welcome! Fans of Pentatonix call themselves Pentaholics! They have redefined acapella for the music industry! I’d recommend their cover of Problem and their original Sing!
They are addicting and they will steal your soul! They make every cover they tackle better than the original! Their Christmas music is off the charts. You will not hear Christmas music sung like they do. Imitators maybe but not the real deal like PTX! Subscribed to hear you do more. Try their cover of Imagine or Bohemian Rhapsody. Prepare to have your world rocked!❣️
Loved your reaction! Suggestions for other covers they’ve done: Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Daft Punk Medley, Say Something, and Gold. Also you can’t go wrong with any of their amazing Evolution videos like Evolution of Michael Jackson, or mashups like La La Latch and New Rules x Are You That Somebody. For original music try Run to You, Sing, Can’t Sleep Love, Misbehavin, Cracked and Love Again. I promise you’ll be more and more amazed by them the more you watch!
Welcome! You've just fallen into a vast rabbit hole. Really enjoyed your reaction! As for what to watch next... Some of my favorites include: Covers: Daft Punk (1st Grammy win), Can't Hold Us, Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Break My Heart, New Rules + Are You That Somebody, Gold (live) Attention, Can You Feel the Love Tonight (from The Lion King), Say Something, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd grammy win), and Mad World. PTX Originals: Love Again, Can't Sleep Love, Sing, Cracked
Really enjoyed your reaction. Just a heads up, Pentatonix's (PTX) record label RCA/Sony is very protective of their work, and blocking can be a real problem. But hope you can do more reactions to them.
Great reaction! Never apologize for 'losing it' and making 'water of the eyes'; if that's your reaction, that's your reaction! If you thought this was a great way to *start* the year, check out their "Thank You" ... a wonderful way to *wrap up* this past year! (It was contributed by Scott, the tall blond guy.) Others from PTX (as we Pentaholics often call them) to stun/surprise you ... "Daft Punk Medley" "Mary Did You Know?" "Say Something" "The 12 Days Of Christmas" "Amazing Grace" "Bohemian Rhapsody" The styles represented by these are all over the place; I think I can guarantee that at least a few of these will become new favorites of yours! *Enjoy!*
Welcome! You have discovered the epitome of acapella music. There are other excellent groups but none reach the levels of harmonic complexity of PTX. I've been following them for years. Their voice control and range have developed over time just as their harmonies have. While their arrangements are complicated, they make them so that they can replicate the sound live. To see this, you can watch a live version of this very song from their live Christmas program on NBC in 2018. You literally cannot go wrong by simply choosing whichever of their songs tickles your fancy. You might consider "Amazing Grace", "Imagine" or "Sound of Silence", or, if you're a Disney fan 😉 "Can You Feel the Love Tonight". If you pause to comment with a certain frequency you can usually avoid being blocked.
Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement), and of course any of their Christmas music.
I would love you welcome you to PTX....I do hope you keep listening to these amazing people...they have over 250+ videos to choose from....HAVE FUN!!!.....I'll let the others comment on their ideas....
Welcome to the world of PTX.....they have 3 Grammys to their name. In order that they sang..Avi (the bass..no longer with the group, started a solo career). Then Scott ( baritone),Kristy ( Met-soprano) Mitch (counter Tenor) and Kevin( be boxer). Any thing that they sing is a home run. They are perfection...just subscribed with the understanding that you continue to go down their rabbit hole which is 10 years long and counting), Judy D from NY State.
Oh, the look on your face when they all stopped singing and Mitch (counter tenor in the hat) came in with the last lead. I've seen so many reactors have that exact same type of reaction the first time hearing him. We call it being Mitch slapped. I reminds me of how I felt the first time and that is part of what us Pentaholics love about watching reactors discovering PTX. They are amazing. 3 Grammy Awards, multiple sold out world tours, and so much more. They really redefined the world of acapella and brought it into the modern age. I look forward to watching more from you. (Do make sure to pause plenty and make original content/comments as YT and RCA Records are both very strict about blocking their videos with reactors)
Interesting FYI - I've seen a lot of your Jinjer reactions. Jinjer and Pentatonix are my two most favorite groups right now. I can't get enough of either one!
„...it can‘t get much worse...“ she said and then the PM goes on TV and put‘s the UK in a lockdown until mid-February... that‘s what I‘d call „don‘t poke the bear“ 😂 Great video and reaction as always. Stay safe.
Yay a Pentatonix reaction. I'm literally out for first time reactions. you just won yourself another subscriber. More please!! They have so much content and all of it incredible!
Welcome to the Pentaholics!! :) I'm completely in love with everything these guys do. As others have said, please check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Daft Punk," among others. Also, since you asked about other artists and said that you like acapella groups, please check out my boys that started in my state of Minnesota, Home Free. They are kind of a "country flavored" acapella group, but they do many genres. Their bass, Tim Foust, makes his home in that same subterranean range as Avi Kaplan, the bass you heard in this song (who is no longer with Pentatonix). Both are insanely amazing in that ultra-low register. Also, Home Free's beatboxer/human percussion machine Adam Rupp is flat-out not human. I suggest you start with my favorite song of theirs, "Do You Hear What I Hear?"...and then check out "Man of Constant Sorrows," "Ring of Fire" (featuring Avi Kaplan), "How Great Thou Art," "All About That Bass," and pretty much everything else they do. Have fun!!
A wonderful reaction. Thank you very much. Another great capella group is called Home Free. They did a cover of Johnny Cash's song. Folsom Prison Blues. They did it in isolation. I think you would really like it. Stay safe.
They have 3 Grammys which they won for 1.Daft Punk: 2.The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy: and 3. Jolene with Dolly Parton. But there are over 400 more to choose from. Personally I would recommend The Sound Of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can't Hold Us, Mary Did You Know, Amazing Grace, The Little Drummer Boy, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Mad World, Silent Night, and Say Something to name a few. They also have some original work you might consider, Love Again and Thank You, for a start. Check out some of their live performances and you will see they sound the same. And last, but by no means least, every person on the planet should check out their cover of Imagine.
Here are my favorites by Pentatonix: Carol of the Bells (Christmas) (14 November 2012) The Wizard of Ahhhs by Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix (16 July 2013) Daft Punk Medley (4 November 2013 Grammy winner) Mary, Did You Know? (Christmas) (11 November 2014) Hallelujah (Christmas) (21 October 2016) Bohemian Rhapsody (7 April 2017) Matt replaces Avi as bass (22 June 2017) Havana (23 February 2018) The Sound of Silence (15 February 2019) Can you feel the love tonight? (23 August 2019) Blinding Lights (1 July 2020) Dreams (22 July 2020) TYTY ..
Great reaction Be aware: you're up to fall into the rabbit's hole if you keep reacting to them! They're simply AMAZING. Every thing they do has an special touch... you'll see Many great recommendations down below, so nothing to add until your next reaction ;D
If you really want to do more Pentatonix, I recommend “Sound Of Silence”, or “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. Their version of Bohemian Rhapsody” will blow you away.
You are about to go down the "rabbit hole"....with a HORDE of recommendations from worldwide Pentaholics, but since we are still on the edge of the Xmas season, I'm going to recommend 3 songs that will blow your mind with their ability to create, coordinate and harmonize..."White Winter Hymnal", 12 days of Christmas", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen). You can officially join the worldwide millions of Pentaholics, but you first must learn the names of the Group...enjoy the journey !!
Another amazing acapella band is Home Free. I’d suggest starting with Man of constant sorrow. And if you really want to cry then i suggest looking up Lara Fabian. Songs like Adagio, Caruso, Broken vow, and Je suis malade (there’s a version with english subtitles) from her “From Lara with love” concert.
For tears, listen to their Christmas original called "Thank You". Scott wrote it with/for his partner and sings the lead throughout (which is a bit unusual for Pentatonix as they almost always share leads), but it's the subtle harmonies of the group and the nostalgic/emotional lyric that brings out the tears.
Welcome to Avi reaction, guy with beard,the bass singer, Scott, blonde, takes over bass when Avi sings. Great reaction thanks, Welcome to the rabbit hole called PTX. I would suggest "Sound of Silence", but so many.The Bass gets replace by a man named Matt later.
Because you enjoyed how Pentatonix create the sound of other instruments with their voices I think you should react to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Tauri, please react to Pentatonix doing "Daft Punk". It is the most technically stunning music you have ever heard any acapella group do. The fast tempo precision is incredible.
I was beginning to fear that you wouldn't say the one word that everyone says when first hearing Pentatonix, which is "Wow!" But thankfully, you didn't disappoint.
Brilliant reaction. Loved it. Top tip not to get blocked is to make the video you're reacting to 1/5 or less the size of the screen, and pause often. PTX videos are notorious for getting blocked, so its worth doing what you can straight off to prevent it. As for suggestions - as a metal head you may appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody. As for anything else, go look at their channel and just pick something that takes your fancy. They have over 200 vids to pick from so you won't be lacking for choice. Once again, great reaction. Please do more.
Hi, Tauri. Have you heard of the new all-girl rock band from Korea called, "RollingQuartz" in their debut song Blaze? These girls are young and very talented!
Oh, definitely watch their first two Grammys (dance of the sugarplum fairy (that's Tchaikovsky) and daft punk, which was recorded completely at home in a 400$ budget). Also, their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody is ridiculous! How have they done that??? You gotta watch. Imagine is a great cover too, beautiful video. They have a member change, this awesome bass leaves (his solo career is great), but the new one is also amazing and is in Sound of silence, another recommendation. Do more pauses, maybe write something on the screen, so you don't get copyrighted. Their record label is annoying with this, but there are many ways to pass through this, every Pentatonix fan is used to it. I'm honestly here just for their reactions from now on. If you need to insert pauses we are used to it, don't worry.
New subscriber here. Great reaction! You should also check out their "Daft Punk Medley" They won a Grammy for it. Also, there is another a capella group out there called Home Free. Their cover of "Ring of Fire" features Avi Kaplan, the bassist from Pentatonix. It will light you up!! Thanks!
Welcome to PTX! If you liked this, you will also like their „Amazing Grace“ rendition and their version of „Sound of Silence“. There is, of course, much more: above all „Bohemian Rhapsody“ and their „Daft Punk“ Medley! Enjoy!
Awesome reaction and Hallelujah is the perfect introduction to this band. They are out of this world. You will never cease to be amazed with what they can do. Avi Kaplan is the bass(my personal favorite) and was a member from the group's inception until about 3 years ago. He left due to health issues within his family and being burned out from non-stop traveling and working. He left the band on good terms and has his own solo career now. He also helped the group find his replacement, Matt Sallee. Please watch the live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas special (with Avi). I think you will be surprised and equally awed. This talented lot consists of 3 friends who grew up together in Texas, Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi and Kirsten Maldonado. They wanted to compete on a television show called the sing off. Just days before the show they added Avi Kaplan (found him through a friend) and Kevin Olusola the beat boxer (from a performance video on youtube). They won first place on the show, received a Sony contract and lost it one week later. They went on to do covers on RUclips and soon received another contract. They also have many original songs and they've won 3 Grammys. One was for Daft Punk(which is another excellent view/reaction for you), dance of the sugar plum fairy and Joleen with Dolly Pardon. Please start with the songs in the earlier days so that you can see the inception and appreciate who they are and what they've accomplished. You can also watch the sing off performances if you would like as well. Can not wait to see you dive in. so many wonderful songs/renditions are waiting for you. The fans(Pentaholics) are the best fans and will support you on your journey. Have fun!!! :)
Yeah, even though I have seen this video what seems like a million times now it still gets me everytime...The chills, emotions you name it. Thanks so much for doing this reaction. You might want to try their covers of "Silent Night", "The sound of silence" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" just to name a few. Oh and you also should try their cover of "Amazing Grace ( My chains are gone )"...You think you started to get emotional with "Hallelujah"? Wait until you hear "Amazing Grace"...Kirsten kills it on this one. You can't help but get emotional. But, it's fantastic none the less. Thanks again and we'll see you on the next one. I just subscribed by the way....Woooohooo!!!
Thank you for the great reaction. Pentatonix are amazing and redefined what A Capella groups can do. They cover a lot of Pop songs, but also do original songs and Christmas songs too. For something completely different, try Daft Punk. For something on the same level as this song, try The Sounds of Silence, or Amazing Grace. Thanks again. Your reactions are always top notch.
This was the song that introduced me to Pentatonix as well...and I was instantly hooked! I've been a dedicated Pentaholic ever since, and I give them almost complete credit for getting me thru the pandemic and lockdowns. There are literally DOZENS of songs I could recommend, but I'll just say that anything you listen to from them will not disappoint!
Hi Tauri! Absolutely stunning. That’s PTX! Now that you’ve found them, I hope you’ll do more of them. “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Imagine” would be great. Subbed!
I love PTX, thanks for doing this reaction. Want some metal that's a little different? Checkout Band Maid; if you don't already know them, I think you will be blown away. They (5 members) are an all female, Japanese band that dresses in maid's outfits (don't assume anything); they are cute, little bad-ass musicians that will rock your world. I would suggest a start with Freedom (live), great crowd participation!
Beautiful reaction. As much as I would love to see less pausing, i see other reactors get blocked a lot for these guys, so good that you did, and that rewinding probably helps too. I would recommend New Rules/Are you that Somebody? Its a mashup of two songs. Not my style of music. But why I love PTX is that they make me like anything, from any genre. Have fun reacting to more!
Daft Punk is the one that got the Grammy, the vid is amazing and that is spectacular for the performance, knowing it's all vocal, no other instruments. They do a nifty cover of Sound of Silence, and a great cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, where Mitch (the guy at the end who breaks you heart with his tone and range) gets to shine again. My personal favourite is a toss up between either their cover of Cheerleader, or their cover of AHA! by Imogen Heap. If you like these it might be worth checking Voiceplay as well, they do great work (love their take of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws", and Home Free for more acapella goodness.
Everything that Pentatonix does in studio can be reproduced live, so if your interested in thier live performance of Hallelujah, here is a link of PTX's Christmas Special in Chicago. ruclips.net/video/haFHrfmfHbc/видео.html
My personal favorites are, "Daft Punk", "Wizard of Ahhhs", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy". But honestly, everything they do is great. I've been listening to them for years and have yet to find a bad video. Personally I prefer the pre 2017 stuff as in my opinion Avi is a much better bass than Matt. Matt is great, but Avi is Awesome.
Shortly before he passed Leonard Cohen, the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix cover of his song. He said it was the best cover he had ever heard of his song. Since you are a metal head, just like myself, Try bohemian rhapsody as your next review. Freddie would be very proud. Brian may put it up on his facebook page. Daft punk Is also a go to. For harmonies check out there cover of imagine. There cover of sound of silence is also very good. You simply cannot go wrong with Pentatonix. I don't think they've ever made a bad song. You can see this live From a Christmas special. Mitch is a countertenor. Avi (Ah-vee) is a basso profundo. He can blow out speakers and in fact he did. Watch Aha Live in Singapore star vista. After 2017 matt Sallee took over the bass because Avi left on good terms for personal reasons. He has his own solo career now. Check out Avi Kaplan Change on the rise
"Bohemian Rhapsody".
It's just amazing to see someone get Mitch-slapped for the very first time.
Individually, these are five very talented people. Collectively, they create something greater than the sum of their parts. They become something totally other, something very, very special.
Mitchslapped!! Hahahaha
You gotta love the Mitch Face
I AM SELFISH AND WITH THEY WERE STILL TOGETHER. FOR MY LISTENING PLEASURE. I WISH THEM WELL ALL INDIVIDUALY
I would recommend their Grammy-winning "Daft Punk", a mashup of seven songs from the electronic duo of the same name. When you watch it, know that the audio was recorded in a closet, the video was shot in an apartment kitchen, and the total budget was $400. That was the recording that convinced RCA to sign them
and their first grammy
Incredible song, and the video is brilliant, but you dont half feel for all their eyes. Particularly Avi.
Imagine and Amazing Grace will have you grabbing those tissues.
An introduction to Pentatonix for you:
Scott: the tall blonde guy in the middle with the first solo. He's the baritone of the group but has a range of about 4 octaves. He's just as comfortable harmonizing on the high notes as he is taking the bass line when Avi is singing. Speaking of which...

Great breakdown
Scott plays piano on Thank You from one of the most recent Christmas albums. And btw, the cellos name is Beyonce'.
Welcome! Fans of Pentatonix call themselves Pentaholics! They have redefined acapella for the music industry! I’d recommend their cover of Problem and their original Sing!
Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody will blow your doors off.

Hallelujah, Imagine and The Sound of Silence are my favorites. Also, shouldn't miss Amazing Grace.
Home Free man of constant sorrow will be good
Sos their cover of "gold" it's amazing - They are this good live
Really enjoyed your reaction. Just a heads up, Pentatonix's (PTX) record label RCA/Sony is very protective of their work, and blocking can be a real problem. But hope you can do more reactions to them.
Yes, this reaction was blocked for a few days... hopefully it doesn't get blocked again 🤞
@@TauriReacts Try pausing every 30-40 seconds to comment on something. Seems to help with the blocking.
Great reaction! Never apologize for 'losing it' and making 'water of the eyes'; if that's your reaction, that's your reaction!

"Daft Punk Medley"
"Mary Did You Know?"
"Say Something"
"The 12 Days Of Christmas"
"Amazing Grace"
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
The styles represented by these are all over the place; I think I can guarantee that at least a few of these will become new favorites of yours!

Check out their live performance! It’s even better than the video! Oh, welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole!
One of my favorite songs of theirs is pentatonix "despacito x shape of you" I can't stop my self from dancing to it, which isn't a good thing 😅

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement), and of course any of their Christmas music.

the bass is Avi Kaplan, his solo stuff is on point. He writes the songs and the delivery is superb. Lyrics often quite deep and from a dark place.

Loved the reaction. Dance of the sugar plus is a must hear !! they won a grammey and its from the nutcracker so there is no words just their voices
Oh, the look on your face when they all stopped singing and Mitch (counter tenor in the hat) came in with the last lead. I've seen so many reactors have that exact same type of reaction the first time hearing him. We call it being Mitch slapped. I reminds me of how I felt the first time and that is part of what us Pentaholics love about watching reactors discovering PTX. They are amazing. 3 Grammy Awards, multiple sold out world tours, and so much more. They really redefined the world of acapella and brought it into the modern age. I look forward to watching more from you. (Do make sure to pause plenty and make original content/comments as YT and RCA Records are both very strict about blocking their videos with reactors)
You can see them sing this song live on their Christmas Special. Amazing!!!
Interesting FYI - I've seen a lot of your Jinjer reactions. Jinjer and Pentatonix are my two most favorite groups right now. I can't get enough of either one!
„...it can‘t get much worse...“ she said and then the PM goes on TV and put‘s the UK in a lockdown until mid-February... that‘s what I‘d call „don‘t poke the bear“ 😂
Great video and reaction as always. Stay safe.
Yay a Pentatonix reaction. I'm literally out for first time reactions. you just won yourself another subscriber. More please!! They have so much content and all of it incredible!
I loved your reaction! I'm glad you decided to check-out Pentatonix, they are amazing.
Welcome to the Pentaholics!! :) I'm completely in love with everything these guys do. As others have said, please check out "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Daft Punk," among others. Also, since you asked about other artists and said that you like acapella groups, please check out my boys that started in my state of Minnesota, Home Free. They are kind of a "country flavored" acapella group, but they do many genres. Their bass, Tim Foust, makes his home in that same subterranean range as Avi Kaplan, the bass you heard in this song (who is no longer with Pentatonix). Both are insanely amazing in that ultra-low register. Also, Home Free's beatboxer/human percussion machine Adam Rupp is flat-out not human. I suggest you start with my favorite song of theirs, "Do You Hear What I Hear?"...and then check out "Man of Constant Sorrows," "Ring of Fire" (featuring Avi Kaplan), "How Great Thou Art," "All About That Bass," and pretty much everything else they do. Have fun!!
A wonderful reaction. Thank you very much. Another great capella group is called Home Free. They did a cover of Johnny Cash's song. Folsom Prison Blues. They did it in isolation. I think you would really like it. Stay safe.
Great reaction! You should also check out their version of "Mary, Did you know".
They have 3 Grammys which they won for 1.Daft Punk: 2.The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy: and 3. Jolene with Dolly Parton. But there are over 400 more to choose from. Personally I would recommend The Sound Of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can't Hold Us, Mary Did You Know, Amazing Grace, The Little Drummer Boy, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Mad World, Silent Night, and Say Something to name a few. They also have some original work you might consider, Love Again and Thank You, for a start. Check out some of their live performances and you will see they sound the same. And last, but by no means least, every person on the planet should check out their cover of Imagine.
Check out 3 more of their songs. Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, and Mary Did You Know. Enjoy, they are special and thanks for noiticing.

Carol of the Bells (Christmas) (14 November 2012)

Great reaction
Be aware: you're up to fall into the rabbit's hole if you keep reacting to them!
They're simply AMAZING. Every thing they do has an special touch... you'll see
Many great recommendations down below, so nothing to add until your next reaction ;D
If you really want to do more Pentatonix, I recommend “Sound Of Silence”, or “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”. Their version of Bohemian Rhapsody” will blow you away.
You are about to go down the "rabbit hole"....with a HORDE of recommendations from worldwide Pentaholics, but since we are still on the edge of the Xmas season, I'm going to recommend 3 songs that will blow your mind with their ability to create, coordinate and harmonize..."White Winter Hymnal", 12 days of Christmas", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen).
You can officially join the worldwide millions of Pentaholics, but you first must learn the names of the Group...enjoy the journey !!
Another amazing acapella band is Home Free. I’d suggest starting with Man of constant sorrow.
And if you really want to cry then i suggest looking up Lara Fabian. Songs like Adagio, Caruso, Broken vow, and Je suis malade (there’s a version with english subtitles) from her “From Lara with love” concert.
Awesome voices in harmony, loved it! Thank you for the reaction my sweet sweet friend!!!
For tears, listen to their Christmas original called "Thank You". Scott wrote it with/for his partner and sings the lead throughout (which is a bit unusual for Pentatonix as they almost always share leads), but it's the subtle harmonies of the group and the nostalgic/emotional lyric that brings out the tears.
Welcome to Avi reaction, guy with beard,the bass singer, Scott, blonde, takes over bass when Avi sings. Great reaction thanks, Welcome to the rabbit hole called PTX. I would suggest "Sound of Silence", but so many.The Bass gets replace by a man named Matt later.
All of them. That's the only "list."
Because you enjoyed how Pentatonix create the sound of other instruments with their voices I think you should react to their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Enjoy your journey.
Tauri, please react to Pentatonix doing "Daft Punk". It is the most technically stunning music you have ever heard any acapella group do. The fast tempo precision is incredible.
Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is amazing! I‘d be thrilled to see you check that one out! 🙂
Their collaboration with Lindsey Stirling on "Radioactive" is excellent.
Love ur reaction! PLEASE DO REACT TO THEIR "DAFT PUNK MEDLEY"
I was beginning to fear that you wouldn't say the one word that everyone says when first hearing Pentatonix, which is "Wow!" But thankfully, you didn't disappoint.
Brilliant reaction. Loved it. Top tip not to get blocked is to make the video you're reacting to 1/5 or less the size of the screen, and pause often. PTX videos are notorious for getting blocked, so its worth doing what you can straight off to prevent it.
As for suggestions - as a metal head you may appreciate Bohemian Rhapsody. As for anything else, go look at their channel and just pick something that takes your fancy. They have over 200 vids to pick from so you won't be lacking for choice.
Once again, great reaction. Please do more.
I've seen one using a full, but transparent, image of the video. It's obviously less brilliant but it seems to work.
Great reaction. You might want to check out their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody. I really think you'll enjoy it!!!
Hi, Tauri. Have you heard of the new all-girl rock band from Korea called, "RollingQuartz" in their debut song Blaze? These girls are young and very talented!
Oh, definitely watch their first two Grammys (dance of the sugarplum fairy (that's Tchaikovsky) and daft punk, which was recorded completely at home in a 400$ budget).
Also, their rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody is ridiculous! How have they done that??? You gotta watch. Imagine is a great cover too, beautiful video. They have a member change, this awesome bass leaves (his solo career is great), but the new one is also amazing and is in Sound of silence, another recommendation.
Do more pauses, maybe write something on the screen, so you don't get copyrighted. Their record label is annoying with this, but there are many ways to pass through this, every Pentatonix fan is used to it.
I'm honestly here just for their reactions from now on.
If you need to insert pauses we are used to it, don't worry.
New subscriber here. Great reaction! You should also check out their "Daft Punk Medley" They won a Grammy for it.
Also, there is another a capella group out there called Home Free. Their cover of "Ring of Fire" features Avi Kaplan, the bassist from Pentatonix. It will light you up!! Thanks!
Welcome to PTX! If you liked this, you will also like their „Amazing Grace“ rendition and their version of „Sound of Silence“. There is, of course, much more: above all „Bohemian Rhapsody“ and their „Daft Punk“ Medley! Enjoy!
I vote one of their newer ones, "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" and thank you!
Awesome reaction and Hallelujah is the perfect introduction to this band. They are out of this world. You will never cease to be amazed with what they can do. Avi Kaplan is the bass(my personal favorite) and was a member from the group's inception until about 3 years ago. He left due to health issues within his family and being burned out from non-stop traveling and working. He left the band on good terms and has his own solo career now. He also helped the group find his replacement, Matt Sallee. Please watch the live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas special (with Avi). I think you will be surprised and equally awed. This talented lot consists of 3 friends who grew up together in Texas, Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi and Kirsten Maldonado. They wanted to compete on a television show called the sing off. Just days before the show they added Avi Kaplan (found him through a friend) and Kevin Olusola the beat boxer (from a performance video on youtube). They won first place on the show, received a Sony contract and lost it one week later. They went on to do covers on RUclips and soon received another contract. They also have many original songs and they've won 3 Grammys. One was for Daft Punk(which is another excellent view/reaction for you), dance of the sugar plum fairy and Joleen with Dolly Pardon. Please start with the songs in the earlier days so that you can see the inception and appreciate who they are and what they've accomplished. You can also watch the sing off performances if you would like as well. Can not wait to see you dive in. so many wonderful songs/renditions are waiting for you. The fans(Pentaholics) are the best fans and will support you on your journey. Have fun!!! :)
Yeah, even though I have seen this video what seems like a million times now it still gets me everytime...The chills, emotions you name it. Thanks so much for doing this reaction. You might want to try their covers of "Silent Night", "The sound of silence" and "Bohemian Rhapsody" just to name a few. Oh and you also should try their cover of "Amazing Grace ( My chains are gone )"...You think you started to get emotional with "Hallelujah"? Wait until you hear "Amazing Grace"...Kirsten kills it on this one. You can't help but get emotional. But, it's fantastic none the less. Thanks again and we'll see you on the next one. I just subscribed by the way....Woooohooo!!!
The live version is even better ☺️
Thank you for the great reaction. Pentatonix are amazing and redefined what A Capella groups can do. They cover a lot of Pop songs, but also do original songs and Christmas songs too. For something completely different, try Daft Punk. For something on the same level as this song, try The Sounds of Silence, or Amazing Grace. Thanks again. Your reactions are always top notch.
Amazing Grace
This was the song that introduced me to Pentatonix as well...and I was instantly hooked! I've been a dedicated Pentaholic ever since, and I give them almost complete credit for getting me thru the pandemic and lockdowns. There are literally DOZENS of songs I could recommend, but I'll just say that anything you listen to from them will not disappoint!
Hi Tauri! Absolutely stunning. That’s PTX! Now that you’ve found them, I hope you’ll do more of them. “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Imagine” would be great. Subbed!
Welcome to the rabbit hole
I love PTX, thanks for doing this reaction. Want some metal that's a little different? Checkout Band Maid; if you don't already know them, I think you will be blown away. They (5 members) are an all female, Japanese band that dresses in maid's outfits (don't assume anything); they are cute, little bad-ass musicians that will rock your world. I would suggest a start with Freedom (live), great crowd participation!
New sub here to enjoy your PTX journey! 💖
Beautiful reaction. As much as I would love to see less pausing, i see other reactors get blocked a lot for these guys, so good that you did, and that rewinding probably helps too. I would recommend New Rules/Are you that Somebody? Its a mashup of two songs. Not my style of music. But why I love PTX is that they make me like anything, from any genre. Have fun reacting to more!
Daft Punk is the one that got the Grammy, the vid is amazing and that is spectacular for the performance, knowing it's all vocal, no other instruments. They do a nifty cover of Sound of Silence, and a great cover of Bohemian Rhapsody, where Mitch (the guy at the end who breaks you heart with his tone and range) gets to shine again. My personal favourite is a toss up between either their cover of Cheerleader, or their cover of AHA! by Imogen Heap.
If you like these it might be worth checking Voiceplay as well, they do great work (love their take of "Kidnap the Sandy Claws", and Home Free for more acapella goodness.
3 Grammys, to date
Ahhhhhhh the base kills me ❤️
The base is different in future pieces. Love this
Please react to their versions of Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody and Daftpunk medley.
C'mon Tauri! Sound of silence, Amazing Grace, Daft Punk medley, Mary did you know, 12 days of Christmas, just to name a few Pentatonix songs.....
Everything that Pentatonix does in studio can be reproduced live, so if your interested in thier live performance of Hallelujah, here is a link of PTX's Christmas Special in Chicago.

My personal favorites are, "Daft Punk", "Wizard of Ahhhs", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy". But honestly, everything they do is great. I've been listening to them for years and have yet to find a bad video. Personally I prefer the pre 2017 stuff as in my opinion Avi is a much better bass than Matt. Matt is great, but Avi is Awesome.
Glad to share your admiration of this incredible group. One of their latest productions is Amazing Grace. Not to be missed!
Mary Did You Know is another one you’ll need tissues for!
You should listen to: Imagine, and Superfruits , The Promuse.
Hi, wonderful reaction.If it’s acapella base you like then check out Home Free singing”Folsom prison blues” and “ man of constant sorrow “
Shortly before he passed Leonard Cohen, the gentleman who wrote the song, heard Pentatonix cover of his song. He said it was the best cover he had ever heard of his song.
Since you are a metal head, just like myself, Try bohemian rhapsody as your next review. Freddie would be very proud. Brian may put it up on his facebook page.
Daft punk Is also a go to. For harmonies check out there cover of imagine. There cover of sound of silence is also very good. You simply cannot go wrong with Pentatonix. I don't think they've ever made a bad song. You can see this live From a Christmas special. Mitch is a countertenor. Avi (Ah-vee) is a basso profundo. He can blow out speakers and in fact he did. Watch Aha Live in Singapore star vista. After 2017 matt Sallee took over the bass because Avi left on good terms for personal reasons. He has his own solo career now. Check out Avi Kaplan Change on the rise
