It’s been a Long & Rocky journey, for as far back as I remember, which people were amazed at what I actually remembered as a first memory, which was Horrific at Best, but with The Most Darkest of hours, being when my eldest daughter was instantly killed in a freak accident.

      ​@@michaelrunnels7660 Yes, so she said at the time, and obviously she meant it. I wonder what Mitch was thinking, though. He'd been bullied so much for his voice in high school (probably thinly disguised gay bashing, but he seems to have bought into the disguise), and as soon as he escaped high school the bullying started up again, from the producers of _The Sing-Off,_ who didn't disguise it at all; they genuinely thought that Mitch's voice might lead people to wonder about his sexual orientation and that frightened them. Except these were adults in a position of authority who were bullying Mitch now, and bullying the whole band because they were afraid of Mitch's voice. I think at that point Mitch must have been wondering where the next blow would come from. I bet that when the record label reneged on the contract Pentatonix had won Mitch blamed himself for it.

      @joycewetherbee7421 8 месяцев назад +2

      @@sharonwells9593 male singers generally fall into three groups: tenor, baritone, and bass. Most tenors can comfortably sing into the alto range. Counter tenors are men who can comfortably sing soprano to operatic soprano after their voices change.
      I’ve learned of two more since discovering Pentatonix: Dimash Kudaibergen from Kazakhstan and a Ukrainian-Russian singer that goes by Vitas. Both can be found on RUclips.
      Dimash is another rabbit hole, with at least a 6-octave range and singing in 16-18 languages. He grew up speaking Kazakh and Russian, is fluent in English, and working on Mandarin. Be sure to turn on closed captions if you decide to check him out.
      No idea of Dimash is a counter tenor or if he achieved that vocal range through training. By now though, he has extended his upper reach to whistle range and is working to extend his lower range.

    In the recording evergreen video, Kevin asks Kirstie if she's doing the first part. She responds, "no, Mitch is doing that". Kevin nods "Oh, OK", like it's a natural choice for the band to feature their male countertenor on a female part. As others noted, the making video gives insight into the teamwork they bring to arranging, re-arranging, and recording of their work. It's worth 17 ish minutes to watch on your own.

    What a perfect, amazing, reaction! This is one of their most beautiful arrangements - a masterpiece from start to finish. The whole album it is on, "Evergreen," was up for a Grammy. I was sure this song alone would ensure a win, but not this time (they have 3 Grammys already, though). They also did a little mini-documentary about the making of "Evergreen," which is cool to watch. They had all individually done their parts for this song except Kirstie, who was doing it at the time of filming. The hadn't performed it together, yet. They all sat Kirstie down and played her the almost completed piece and she was so hyped by how good it sounded! Yes, Mitch is incredibly gifted. Back when they were on the Sing Off, 11 or 12 years ago, Kirstie burst into tears because she was so happy that Mitch's voice was going to be heard. I gotta say, I feel the same way, Kirstin! I want everyone on Earth to hear that voice, and this group as a whole. They all have huge ranges, and monster skills! Nobody belts like Kirstie, who just got engaged, is a new Mom, put out an amazing solo album, "Love," and has been on Broadway in "Kinky Boots." Scott has so much soul and is so versatile, just got engaged, put out his first solo song, "Mars" about his fiance, Mark, and he mentors other acapella groups including an all female one, "Citizen Queen," and a children's one, "AcaPop Kids." Kevin is a Renaissance man who can sing, play cello, beatbox, cellobox, play saxaphone, speak several languages including Mandarin fluently, has a Pre-Med degree from Yale, does a faith podcast, is a husband and father, and he puts out solo tracks, too. Matt's voice is so beautiful and warm, and he is a bright shining light of a human being (I don't know where he gets his energy!) and he just got married last year. As for Mitch, he and Scott put out an EP of just the two of them a few years ago under the name "Superfruit," that has a sort of 80's vibe and I listen to it all the time, along with his unique and artistic solo work under the name "Messer." We warned you...this rabbit hole is deeeeeeep!

I may be wrong but this is just what I read in some comments somewhere at the time, but then they had to wait a year to reapply, and had to go for the whole album because this song had already been nominated. I'm sorry but Evergreen wasn't their best album, I"m not saying it was bad, just that they put out several that were better, The Prayer just could not pull the rest of the album to the level of the other artist in the running. There was some good songs on the album, just not as good as other albums. I don't know how that whole process works, so I may be completely wrong. I'm just trying to relay some information with the understanding it may be wrong. Personally I think Sony intentionally messed them up. Less likely for another company to poach them the fewer awards they have.

      Thank you for that story and let the music keep healing you! Have a good weekend and I hope to see you around!

      ​@@VikingReacts Your little conversation here is just so touching❣ To share such intimate information in an open channel, where there aren't only "nice" people and comments... It once again proves the immense power of music; healing, connecting, uplifting; no matter what gender, religion, ethnicity...
      This is my first, but definitively not last visit to your channel (had to subscribe)! I'm a bit surprised by meeting a 'metalhead' showing he's being moved to tears - on the other hand, it's about gorgeous Pentatonix, so maybe not really! 😉 Love your genuine reaction, and also appreciate that you take your time to respond to comments; you truely are a very amiable person. 💖 For me to come across these is a gift (currently dealing with cancer myself), and so much more than one can expect from watching a reaction-video. So thank you so, so much! 👍
      I hope you and SweetSlytherinGirlJennifer (and your loved ones) are doing well. Wish you a great and healthy 2024❣🙏🥂🍾🎆

    Welcome to the pentafam, pentaholic. So glad to have you on board. I’ve heard this cover over 100 times and it never gets old. They made a video of the creation of the album this song is on, with a lot of footage making this cover. It’s from their Evergreen album, which was nominated for a Grammy. It is also wonderful to see the group’s love for each other during that video of the making of Evergreen. I recommend it. Thank you so much for your emotional and appreciative reaction.

    Pure Pentatonix Perfection - in every way. They are all five fantastic, individually and together. Mitch owned this from the start singing with such conviction and clarity, the notes he hits and holes, those runs and vibratos - skilled counter tenor perfection. Scott with his baritone and singing so strongly in Italian. Kirstie with that sharp belting vibrato. Matt on that bass underneath. Kevin with all the percussion and sounds. The solos, the duets, the call and response, the echoes, the wall of sound, the videography. All perfection. Thanks for your reaction. Welcome to our world - we are Pentaholics.

    This is one of their best. Everyone contributed 110% on this song. There is a video of them doing it live and it’s amazing too. I’ve heard the Bocelli/Dion version many times and always loved it. I’m glad PTX covered it and created this beautiful video. There is a BTS video about them filming it. Hard to believe this is a set because it looks so real. I know you reacted to the Evergreen documentary so you know how it impacted them.
    Also PTX did a song, Do You Hear What I Hear, with Bocellis. No video but it’s a beautiful rendition of the song.

    I wanted to say this about Pentatonix: One of the reasons why their fanbase is so loyal and we ride for them so intensely is not ONLY because they are the most amazing singers both individually and together, but because of how they treat their fans. They are so generous and involved with their fandom, they include a VIP session at every show where they do a soundcheck for us, answer questions, and take photos (even in these pandemic times, though they can't get as close to the fans as they would like for safety reasons, they still take that time out of their touring schedule to do that for us), they provide us with so much behind the scenes fun (and this is where you really get to know them which only makes us love them more because you see how down to earth they are)...they are just incredible and I feel blessed that I chose them to Stan way back during The Sing Off days.
