I think Kirstie really loves letting her inner spicy Latina chili pepper out every now and then. It definitely works on her. I loved Kevin brining back the fluegelhorn he first used way back on The Sing Off...plus Matt getting the chance to take over the beatboxing (while still singing the bass line) during the fluegelhorn solo.
Kirstie is a superb actress...which she uses to great effect during many of the pieces. She inhabits each and every character that she "sings for". She's wonderful.
After Kinky Boots, she seems to have evolved from the sweet Ingenue to leading lady. Coming into her greatness & living her best life. Pentaholic since the sing off, I miss her little side mouth singing and giggles but since 2017 she has bloomed into a major part of the group and has surprised me with her ability.
I think she's always been strong but she has certainly matured and can hold her own against any other member of the group. When she is featured she knocks it out of the park (Hallelujah, Shallow, Amazing Grace...)
Flugelhorns and trumpets are different instuments with difference tones. This was much closer to a trumpet. In the Sing Off Kevin used a much mellower thicker sound closer to the flugelhorn sound. I would consider as many insturumentsas Kevin 'plays' he's got multiple brass instruments in his repertoire based on the needs of the song.
I think Kevin is so good at the "trumpet" is his years of playing the sax, I imagine it's using very similar muscles. As for the sass, I've seen a couple of live versions online and they definitely bring the sass in that too. Lol. Also, if you want more sassy Mitch then Problem, Popspring 2016 (especially in that version of the Can't Sleep Love), or Superfruit's Feeling Myself.
Wonderful analysis and comments to this great performance by PTX. It does indeed have a sexy and sassy feel to it, along with the great Caribbean rhythm. Every member contriubted perfectly.
Wow pretty much sums it up. PTX owns every song they cover but this one is amazing. You do know you praise Kirstin in every reaction 😂😂 I love your reactions of PTX. I think the fact you belonged to an a cappella group gives you great insight. And Kevin-well he is in a class by himself Thanks!!
Great reaction. Thank you. Fun video. FYI, your video did not show up during my normal Pentatonix searches. I found it by searching for old Pentatonix videos. Others my be having the same problem finding your video.
Hey, Jeffrey, thanks for covering this! Always apprecaite your reactions - you're right, Kirsti really exudes sex appeal in this one, hot and sultry. Also love "pornstache" Mitch with the pink jacket and the overall steamy esthetic of the set design. Huge thumbs up for the masters who do their set and production designs for their videos...have a great day!
I enjoy your insights more than most reactors, but didn't know why until hearing you sing along while the credits rolled. You've a lovely voice! For another view of Kirstie making us Pentaholics proud, you simply have got to review their most recent video, the PBS annual "Capital Fourth" program, when PTX did a live video from up on an urban LA rooftop at sunset, singing "Seasons of Love" from Rent. They recorded it on their Christmas album last year (2020) but they've made a few alterations to that version of the song, with Kirstie trading off the lead with Scott, and smashing it! If you haven't done it yet, ya gotta do it! (Then, maybe go back and do a couple of their originals from "The Lucky Ones," please!
I greatly appreciate your feedback Susan! I've been singing since I was a little kid and a cappella in college really toned my voice to what it is today. I'll definitely be sure to check out those videos and make a reaction 😄
Main points of most PTX reaction videos to watch for: ~Person sees Kirstin Maldonado ~Person's eyebrows immediately jump up and eyes widen 😳 ~Person: Wow ............ Repeat for having chest rumbled with Avi or Matt. Repeat for having riff/run candy poured into ears with Scott. Repeat for swearing there's a drum kit in the wings with Kevin. And last but certainly not least, my personal favorite: Repeat for hearing angels singing (in any and all ranges) with Mitch Grassi. Great reaction as always! Heads up!!! New PTX video tomorrow, Thursday. It's GOOOOOOD!!
Yes that trumpet was OFF THE CHARTS! I love the Kevin trumpet. Thanks for the assessment of this song, but please loose the background music during your commentary. It is very distracting and competes with what you are saying.
I agree. Through each upload I learn something new about what I like and don't like in my videos. More the fact of what people like or don't care for. You won't hear any background music in my more recent reactions :)

Kirsten looks absolutely beautiful!!

Considering she was also an actress on Broadway, she's filled with many talents!
When Kevin’s beatboxing kicks the original in the butt!
Kevin really makes the songs with his talent - such talent

We always called those invisible trumpets a flooglehorn.
That's a great name for them 😂😂

You are right about Kirstie in this one. She shows that same sass in their video Attention. Check it out ☺️
I'll definitely be sure to share my reaction of that!
This is my go to when I need a bit of a lift. They are all brilliant and the mood is so magical.

Spectacular job of doing the reaction: thank you! Intelligent and perceptive. And god,I love this song!
😁😊
Great bass too, right? Kevin did the fugle horn/trumpet sound as early as their The Sing Off days.
Love this!
Wow! Really incredible!
Jeffrey. You totally missed a very important topic of this video: Kevin’s awesome jacket!!!! It looks so cool.
Yes, they all look incredible, but that jacket...😍!!
You seem (like most of us) to be a big Kirsten fan. Check out some of her solo masterpieces...start with "Naked". Thanks again.
Wonderful analysis and comments to this great performance by PTX. It does indeed have a sexy and sassy feel to it, along with the great Caribbean rhythm. Every member contriubted perfectly.
I couldn't agree more with you! Glad you enjoyed the reaction and commentary!
Wow pretty much sums it up.
PTX owns every song they cover but this one is amazing.
You do know you praise Kirstin in every reaction 😂😂
I love your reactions of PTX. I think the fact you belonged to an a cappella group gives you great insight.
And Kevin-well he is in a class by himself
Thanks!!
I know I compliment Kirsten in almost every video reaction 😜 She's a beautiful woman! I'm glad you enjoy the reactions 😄 Kevin is something else!
Recommend their Seasons Of Love as seen on nationwide tv from the 4th of July.
This is another incredible cover by PTX. This version is so groovy and sassy. And nice review. Really enjoyed.
It's such an innovative cover! Glad you enjoyed the reaction.
Great reaction. Thank you. Fun video. FYI, your video did not show up during my normal Pentatonix searches. I found it by searching for old Pentatonix videos. Others my be having the same problem finding your video.

Haha right?! Mitch really went for it with the stache in this video 😂
They are all so good in this! And yes, Kirstie really let her Latina side show!
Insightful, appreciative, and informative- a great reaction! Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
Jeffrey this is my favorite reaction bud. I haven't forgotten you babe
Thanks!!
I haven't forgotten about you either! Just haven't posted anything PTX for a minute. Thanks for your comment 😁
I have seen another version of this sung also by PTX with Kirsten as lead singer. I love both versions, but they have a slightly different vibe.
Make me wanna Havana! Oh yes, nothing missing here.
