The thing about PTX is they never try to show off whose best, they use whose best to show off the song. There are no egos when it comes to making music and that's why everyone loves them. They are five genuine people who only want to make beautiful music together, no matter who gets the shine. 😎
Quite true and very well stated. The short documentary of the Recording of Evergreen proves this. It shows them choosing who is going to take which parts. It also shows how they go about arranging their music and more insights into their everyday work.
Just love any reaction where these talented people throw up what I always think of as their Sound Wall..shivers every time!!!
And just in case its not clear for some folks. Each word on the card represents something about themselves, and the word that is passed is something shared between the two members. One of their most moving pieces, truly stunning.
Mary Did You Know. Kevin’s voice is so angelic in it!
When Kevin sings and gives them the ability to do 5 part harmony I can't even deal with how beautiful it is!
Most people cry at this video. No matter how many times I see it, I always tear up. Just wishing the world was as accepting as this group is. This is the message we need to spread around the world.
Imagine by Pentatonix may be one of the most important videos of this century. This group took a classic song of tolerance and peace and modernized it as only they can. They are a perfect example of what respect and love can be like. Five people with differences in race, religion, gender, and sexuality can do beautiful things when they work together. I cried when I heard this the first time. I still usually tear up when they go into Wall of Sound mode. Unfortunately showing this to Pentaholics is kind of like preaching to the choir with most of us.
One of their most beautiful ones. You would certainly not be the first to cry during one of their songs. You experienced an example of their “ wall of sound”. When they all come together to harmonize, there is nothing more beautiful. And about Christmas songs. They are known for them. They have six or seven Christmas albums out. And as you can imagine, not done in the traditional style. Sooo much better.💕💕💕
I tear up every single time with this one. Pentatonix has a way of pulling emotion out of you. If you want upbeat and inspiring check out Love Me When I Don't and Sing. Both original Pentatonix and guaranteed mood lifts.
I've seen this video countless times and everytime Mitch turns his card over I have to smile. So proud of Mitch for being who he is
Not just Mitch but Scott as well. The most beautiful part of the video was the passing of the card. It shows what they have in common as they pass it but also celebrating their differences as they flip it.
@@adambooker3846 they all are amazing. I said Mitch because of how he was always unsure of himself, getting bullied growing up, and then he becomes a part of the force that is PTX and he gradually opens up and becomes the Mitch that we see, more sure of himself, not afraid to stand out, or stand up for himself and others. His transformation is what makes me smile. That he finally found himself.
I believe John Lennon would be proud & so happy with this rendition of his song......I love how Pentatonix always respect the original artist, yet have the ability, to inject a little Pentatonix, without taking away any of the intended message in the song, & sometimes even introduce some new emotions !!! 💖💖💖 RIP John Lennon, we all miss you 💖💖💖
If you want to hear more of Kevin singing, he has done some solo work. One fan favorite is his cover of Maria Hill's 'Down.' You should check it out.
"Down" is a magic roller coaster ride. Get on board.
Totally agree!!
@@mrflipvideodude I think Down may send him into cardiac arrest!! But what a way to go! Lol!!
This was back in the day when Kirsten, Mitch, and Scott sung the lead vocals. Avi started to creep in slowly with more vocals, and then sometime, Kevin would rock a couple of lines. I think this was the first time we saw Kevin's vocal range.
Kirstin
@@schuhschrank947 Brian got the "R" in the right place, which is more important than quibbling about "-in" vs "-en" (or even "-ie")
@@xheralt Okay, Gari
They did so well on that song... The arrangement of both the vocals and the video is so flawless. I've heard it so many times already, but every time I see these cards being turned and shared, I still cry. Such a powerful message with such simple methods is pure ingenuity.
The cards they passed between each other were also shared traits. Scott and Mitch are both LGBTQ+, Kirstin and Kevin are both Christian, etc. so it showcased both their differences and their similarities which was even more beautiful.
"Less is more" is a perfect thing to say about Pentatonix because you don't miss the instruments in what they do a Capella. Play their Daft Punk in a club and people who don't know won't know.
Such an important song. It’s stunning and the message is good for this time. Wish more people would take it to heart.
They have the most amazing ability to show out a little, & to get out of each others way PERFECTLY
Never, ever be afraid to cry if that is what the music moves you to do.
We treasure open, honest reactions here.
Perfect Christmas song you say? The Prayer is next for you, then. Arguably one of their best arrangements, just came out last November. :) If you want to be just positively floored by stark naked harmonies, their rendition of My Heart With You is another holiday-ish piece released in November which is a longtime favorite of Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie. They've performed it live in concerts for tens of thousands of fans and reportedly in the middle of the song you can hear a pin drop so intense is the emotion from their harmonies. :)
The Prayer is safer if you're concerned about tears. But hey, Salvo, none of the Pentaholics will think any less of you for tearing up from their arrangements so, cut loose, my dude.
It was perfect when you said you could see them singing a beautiful Christmas song, they have many, many Christmas albums. They have had a Christmas album go to the 4th best selling in all music the year it was released and the honor of hitting the charts, making it the first time since 1962 that a Christmas album charted. They are phenomenal. They are synonymous with Christmas and usually take songs that are a little boring and breathe new life into them. Amazing Grace, Little Drummer Boy, silent Night, Mary did you know, Away in a manger etc…
breathing new life into a boring song: 12 Days of Christmas!
And made My Favorite Things, which is not known as a Christmas song, into a Christmas song and literally made it my favorite thing!
Mary Did You Know, is utterly AMAZING!
I really like what you did with the distorting of the problem section. We understand the issues with PTX's label and we've seen these videos a million times on our own. Some reactors get really frustrated with PTX videos and stop reacting to them. That is definitely not what we want! I look forward to your daily PTX reaction, so thank you for your appreciation of them!
PERFUME MEDLEY!! This medley will save you from crying, and you will love it!!! Satisfaction guaranteed! Great Reaction. 😁😁😎
We don't judge when you tear up. Believe me when I say that we are all doing it too. Every. Single. Time. John Lennon wrote a beautiful song and his performance was touching and reached a lot of people. That being said, this performance, I think, takes it well beyond that point and is compelling in its style, execution, and last but not least, its inclusivity. This group is the very definition of diverse. Sorry, rambling. I love this performance and always get a warm fullness in my heart hearing it.
This one is very special, partly because it is one of the few songs where they each have a full solo part. Kevin has to beatbox so often that we rarely get to hear his beautiful tenor in a solo. It doesn't help to have a favorite singer on a song like this, because you realize that the song would be so much less without any one of them. For a few upbeat songs, check out Love Again (original), Can't Sleep Love (original) or Havana (cover).
Avi's voice is like warm velvety rich chocolate. Can't get enough. This song brings tears to my eyes every time. The harmonies in their songs are so tight and crisp, no one can compare. So EPIC!!!!
Pure Pentatonix Perfection. Every time.
They do awesome Christmas songs. You need to listen to "Come all ye faithful ", and you wont cry lol New Rules x Are you that somebody" is a great song, one of my fav mashups. You cant go wrong with any of their songs, Mitch does a great cover of Billie Eilish's song "your power". Thx for the reaction🥰
They are an example of 5 very different folk who love and respect each other. Would that the world would all work this way ❤️
Rather Be is fun. Sing is a bop
Christmas songs?
They have at least 7 Christmas albums... 80+ songs in total... some of them are original...
During Holiday season, you would hear them everywhere... Once you recognize their voices, you can't escape from them...
Even in random villages in Europe, I hear them alot... in Christmas markets and shops...
That "wall of sound" when they sing live as one 💖
“I can picture him (Avi) singing Christmas songs”……..The First Noel and Silent Night!!!!! You should listen to the official videos of each, either here (honestly, we Pentaholics love them out of season), or just for yourself, right now. Oh, and I almost forgot Oh Come All Ye Faithful! How could I ever!
YES to all three!
Oh god, Silent Night! Yes! That one is just amazing.
A great, honest reaction! I don't think you'd be human if you didn't get emotional hearing this song. Their wall of sound in this performance really does literally knock one off their chairs. Thanks again for a heartfelt reaction to this amazing song. I thoroughly enjoyed this on this Friday night (for me)!
The message from John Lennon realized by PTX! AMAZING!!
Can You Feel The Love Tonight made me tear up too. GORGEOUS!
Kevin Olusola is a wonderful Irish tenor with perfect pitch, as well as a world-class cellist who is fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
PTX has TONS of Christmas songs. They put out a best selling Christmas album every year that comes in close to the tops of the rankings.
This is a strong message and should be shared all around the world.🌏
😭🎶🎵
for upbeat : Sing, Come Along, Love Again, Cracked, La La Latch, Problem, No, Rather Be, Somebody That I Used To Know
Don't forget Cheerleader!
They are amazing. You are in for a journey down a beautiful path. Their harmony is beautiful, no egos, just beautiful harmony. Mary Did You Know is a beautiful Christmas song but then everything they do is wonderful. They do The Prayer and it is amazing. I am looking forward to more of your reactions to this amazing group. They can do anything. Enjoy.
The world needs to hear this message right now! Thanks for a great, and timely, reaction!
The “Wall of Sound” is unbelievably brilliant in this track! John Lennon would have loved it. His message was about united peace and to stop all the hate and PTX have really done it justice here 🏴❣️🏳️🌈
I just make it easier on myself, whomever is singing at the time is my favorite. I do the same with their songs, they're all my favorites at the time I hear them. Doesn't matter if it's PTX, Home Free or Voiceplay. Makes my life less stressful.
This one shook me to my bones. Ugly cry. It was never a fave of mine by The Beetles. The message really came across. Poignant.
Great reaction! For a more upbeat sound, check out their original song, "Sing." It's fun and shows off another side to their talents.
This message is as relevant today as when Lennon wrote it. If someone isn't touched by this they have no soul. In case no one has mentioned it, each card represents something about the holder and is shared with the person it's passed onto. Love me when I don't or Happy now would be more uplifting. Any of their Christmas songs are worth a reaction. They take them and just make them perfect. Would really love to see your reaction to Carol of the Bells live with Matt. It's called "does Mitch even freaking breath"😅. Thanks for the great reactions and glad you tube is getting their heads outta their butts finally.
You said Kevin's voice would be great for a Christmas song, he wrote an original Pentatonix Christmas song "That's Christmas to Me", that he doesn't beatbox in but doesn't have a solo part either. but it's a very beautiful song and video. If you like to hear more of Kevin singing then check out his own youtube channel, Kevin Olusola - KO. It has him singing, cello-boxing, and songs from his side group triptyq. His cover of Down is amazing and my fav from triptyq is Murphy.
This is such a moving video.
That's always their message... everyone shines!
One of their deepest ones.. No matter how many times I've watched this (a lot!), I'm still crying from time to time.. they show us that it's possible, five completely different people creating THAT together bc it doesn't matter what they believe in, who they love or what colour their skin has.. I wish it could always be that way.. If you want a bit funnier one and not another tearjerker I'd recommend Come along, it's colourful and fast and funny
You should also check out a group called Home Free, an a cappella country group. They have a great list of songs as well and not just country songs but also pop and rock and Christmas too. Check out "Ring of Fire" ,"Mayday", Man of Constant Sorrow", "Sea Shanty Medley" and there are so, so, so many more. Another group you can't go wrong with. AND, their followers are called "Home Fries". Check it out.!!
I cry because it's every day that we need to hear it... and wish it were real.
Told you that you would get KO'ed. "I can picture...." Mary Did You Know?. Amazing grace they all stand out and somehow blend like they usually do: leaving you questioning if their version is the only version one should listen to. Word: Succinct, clearly and efficiently presented/sung.
If you want to do some of their older stuff to see where they "started from" so to speak, Somebody That I Used To Know is great and Thrift Shop is one of their better couch performance videos and funny too 😊
Definitely YES to both!
This is by far my favorite of theirs. Makes me cry every time
For more Kevin you can react to 'Mary did you know'...and 'Amazing Grace', even 'Drummer Boy'....he also has some fantastic solo work, e.g 'Down'. As a group they all shine, and thats what i love the most about PTX.
Pentatonix is one of 3 major Acapella groups. You should check out the other 2 as well, Home Free and Voiceplay. Also if u like angelic voices check out Dimash.
I think "effective" is the word you were looking for. Your reactions are genuine and insightful. I enjoy each one.
Man we need this song right now with what's happening in the world. Love and peace to everyone.
They are the royalty of Christmas songs. Personally, that is how I discovered them. I listen to Christmas songs year round in my ear pods. My favorite is Mary Did you Know.
K O is the Beatbox. But when he sings. Is stunning.
Have you watched Cheerleader yet? Also I think PopSpring 2016 which is live, highlights so much goodness from them, there are 3 originals, Cracked, Can’t Sleep Love (my fav) Water and Evolution of Michael Jackson!
I've heard this several times and every time it ramps up my empathy big time.
Welcome to their "wall of sound!" They are so good at it!!
One of my favorite Pentatonix songs and videos. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely LOVED your reaction at the moment you got hit by the wall of beautiful sound. It is a moment that we have all experienced. The word you were looking for was probably "impactful" or "meaningful".
Great reaction guy, my suggestion would be “Amazing Grace “. Everything you need is in the video. Give it a listen, everyone has their own moment in this one too. Thanks! 🎶🎶💕💕🦋
I love this version so much
Yay! Been waiting for this reaction. 😃🤗 Love this Pentatonix upgrade! So fitting of the world right now !! ✌️✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦
“Mary, did you know?”Next please
Don't choose. Just enjoy. Let us see the emotion - we had it too! Thanks for your reaction. Suggest: Say Something, Run To You
I saw your Daft Punk reaction and have now watched four in a row. I love watching people discover Pentatonix. Subscribed.
I know we're past the Christmas season, but if you want to really enjoy their harmonies, and have a chance to focus a little on each member, try Carol of the Bells. And - if you're ready to try another sentimental one - My Heart With You is done in a simple single live take and really showcases their strengths! It's just beautiful!
If you'd like to hear more of Avi's gorgeous voice you should check out some of his solo work. Most start with "Change on the Rise"
THis song always gets to me. Especially nowadays whats going on in the world
Kevin just doesn't do a lot of solo singing with PTX, but a couple of Christmas songs where he does have small solo parts are The 12 Days of Christmas (ruclips.net/video/1UHmQANFtNs/видео.html) and Mary, Did You Know (ruclips.net/video/ifCWN5pJGIE/видео.html). 12 Days is a fun approach to the traditional Christmas song, and Mary has a beautiful setting and a kind of haunting simplicity.
Please, please don't try to find One individual to shine when they work so hard to Blend as a unit. They really are a family, even when Avi left because of his Mom's cancer and his dedication to perfection. Avi's sister was their road manager and they both were flying home after performances to see their Mom. Thankfully her health improved but they lost 2 critical people to the group.
The trio grew up together through Community Arts Theater and that means their parents drove them around and are friends as well. Mitch's dad Mike said they were good friends with Scott's parents at the parents conference known as PentaCon 2018. That had both Kevin's Mom, Dad and sister as well as Matt's Dad, Mom and sister. There was also a PentaCon 2016 with just a few parents but Avi's Mom had a video message since she couldn't attend. Scott and Mitch have been friends since they were 10 and Mitch met Kirstin around age 8. They grew up together through puberty which is why their voices blend so well even when most voices change.
Matt was new in 2017, but he is the only one that was doing acopella at Berkeley and he went to PTX concerts before he joined the band. He didn't even know it was PTX when he auditioned. Scott has always been a singer but he didn't explore acopella until he met Ben Brum at USC his first year. 10 years later they lead the accopella world.
my favorite Christmas song that they sing is Little Drummer Boy
I always get in tears when I watch this video, this, Amazing Grace and the Prayer do that to me.
There is no need to pick a favorite singer, you can love Pentatonix as a group, like I do, because they are all extremely talented.
Loved the look on your face during the "Wall of Sound"
Great reaction ❤️ Please do Pentatonix "Wizard of ahhhs" You will be 🤯
Avi has a 5 octave range and is voice trained in opera, jazz and choral music (to give you an idea Scott has 4 which is also 2 octaves larger than the average). They use Avi to convey emotions in songs as Scott has explained. Avi coached Kevin in singing when they were roommates starting out. Kevin was strictly an instrumentalist on cello and saxaphone before Pentatonix. Oh and Avi is 5'11" Scott is 6'4" so there is that oddity you will discover if you ever do Avi's solo music he is taller than you would assume from Pentatonix.
Please react to their origional song "love again"
Powerful.
Oh my you're in for a treat once you go down the Christmas hole!
Mr Grinch
The Prayer
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Grammy winner)
Mary did you know?
Carol of the Bells
White winter hymnal
Over the River
And on and on....
I'm so pleased you found a way to work around You Tube blocks, and yet keep your reaction in synch with the audio. Subscribed, loving your PTX journey
They do the BEST Christmas albums
Please listen to their Christmas songs, they make them their own while keeping the original intact. You won't be disappointed!!
Please react to The Prayer cover and Amazing Grace
That was the WALL OF SOUND
Man, people talk about Scott's range, which is insane, but Avi's range is just inhuman! To get to those highs, and then go down as low as he does? Gawd dayum!
I also love the messaging behind this video, right down to the order in which they passed the cards to each other. Mitch holds up the LGBTQ+ card and passes it to Scott who is also gay, then he flips it over to MAN and passes it to Avi who's also a man, then he flips it to JEWISH to describe himself, then AMERICAN and passes it to Kevin who's also American, then he flips it to BLACK and CHRISTIAN to describe himself, then passes CHRISTIAN to Kirstie who is also Christian, then she flips it to WOMAN and LATINA. It's such a subtle and beautiful way of showing just how diverse they all are, but also how they have things in common. Very clever. (This was also a subtle way for Scott to come out to the public, as this was his first public declaration of who he is.)
Just the song that we need this time with what's happening. Imagine all the people living life in peace...peace. this too emotional? Try 'Happy' (Pharel cover), 'No' (Meghan Trainor cover) or even Gangnam Style where Scott songs Korean. These are the more upbeat ones.
It was so effective!
Recommend their Somebody That I Used To Know, Butter x Dynamite, and Be My Eyes.
Masterful!
For most of us, our favorite PTX song is whatever we've heard most recently. ;-)
That’s fair enough!
Can you feel the love tonight!
John Lennon's song is a classic for any age, and Pentatonix added their own layer that made it especially relevant for today. No worries on the tears. PTX has a way of drawing us in with their raw voices, lifting us up with their harmonies, giving us a good shake with their innovations and creative percussion and then releasing us, moved to the core. Tears are often a part of going along for that ride. Thanks for being willing to share the experience. Also, I think the word you may have been looking for was, "effective." This video was really effective at getting its message across. Another great reaction!
I guess we can welcome a new member to the pentaholix family 😉
Did you say he had the perfect voice for Christmas songs??? And Pentatonix says, "Hold my beer!!"
Oh, just wait ... loving the PTX reactions! Oh, also the Zep and Floyd, and Sabbath too (I was jamin to those when they first came out!!!)
Thank you. That was the one I was waiting for you to do. I would love for you to see Radio Active
next
Dear SalvoG... You do just fine beeing honest of your reactions and emotions are not entirely supposed to be just for women:P Nice work again!
This one gets me every time 😢 Most of PTX's videos are very simple, but yet so powerful. Kudo's to whoever does their video sets for them.
