What's up?? I'll be live streaming on YouNow tomorrow (Wednesday 11/22) at 3 pm est. so tune in and let's chat!!! (user is the same as ma channel - MeghanNewGirl)
I was so shook when I saw this the first time, and every time since, especially knowing this was Avi's swan song with PTX. They put so much emotion and soul into their singing.
It's almost like Kirsten is this damaged soul and Avi, Mitch, Scott, and Kevin are her guardian angels, surrounding her and seeking to keep her safe. It's a beautiful image.
Just saw your video on this. When I first saw this in 2017, it was soon after Avi announced he was leaving Pentatonix. The way he was sitting facing away from Kirstie, and that Kirstie did much of the solo work and Avi had a part as well, made me think that perhaps his leaving Pentatonix really was partially due to something that had happened between the two of them. That was just my take. Truly made me sad as I thought of Avi leaving. However, he is in a happier place for himself now, and his solo work is great. I'll have to go back and see if you have reacted to any of Avi's solo work. Thanks for the reaction. Subscribed.
One of the distinctive aspects of Kevin's music is that he works very hard to make his cello sound like the human voice. That's why it fit's so well with Pentatonix's vocals.
I loved your reaction Meghan! Never apologize for holding most of your comments to the end of the video. (Re-read the previous sentence.) We viewers are enjoying the video along with you and your face is so expressive; the classic Meghan "Oooh" at 1:32, 1:56, 3:21, and especially 4:10 (complete with hand gestures), tells us so much. All that, along with a beaming smile at 2:41 and 3:36 or the classic Meghan head-shake at 5:07 combined with an occasional "Oh my God" at 5:41. You (and we) were captivated by another great Pentatonix performance. There is always plenty of time to talk about the video at the end. Keep doing what you do! BTW, the instrument Kevin is playing is indeed a cello (... named "Beyoncé").
So glad someone else said something about apologizing for not speaking through the music. I totally agree with John Courtright. We always know you have some good insights for after. Keep up the reactions. We all love them! FOr more vids of Ptx with instruments are: Radioactive & Papaoutai (with Lindsey Stirling) and then Dancing on my own (first song without Avi the bass).
They've used instruments only in 2-3 other tracks like Radioactive, Papaoutai.. Everything else is a capella. I'd love for you to check out their cover of No, Ride, Somebody That I Used To Know, Happy, and their some of their originals as well like Love Again, Sing and Run To You. I look forward to more PTX reactions :) Have a lovely day :D
In both Radioactive and Papaoutai the reason behind having instruments was their collab with Lindsey Stirling, known for her dancing violin performances. If there are no collabs, they will only use Kevin's cello, almost in any case.
Love your reaction-no words necessary during the song, especially since they have so much going on. One of their trademark arranging things is to layer their voices one at a time, which I love. They have performed with a band or orchestra several times in live shows, but invariably the instruments drown out Kevin and Avi, the beatboxer and the bass, so all you hear are the trio of Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch. Keeping instrument use to a minimum with Kevin’s cello and occasionally a violin is smart. BTW, his cello-boxing is what got him in the group-a YT vid of his went viral in both the classical music and a capella worlds and got him a phone call from Scott who had gone through several beatboxers looking for a good fit. Kevin’s musicality got Scott’s atttention.
pentatonix is the way to go. i mean everyone of their songs is original or alteast have an original twist to it and is amazing allways so like go on, do em all, pls, more.
I knew you would love this one! Thank you for reacting to it! Kevin invented celloboxing (beatboxing while playing cello) and the cello is the only instrument that I am aware of that PTX has occasionally added to their songs.
Great reaction! Aren't you ready for some holiday music by Pentatonix yet??? Their Christmas album's have been chart toppers for the last several years! May I suggest: "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Come All Ye Faithful", "Carol of the Bells", "Little Drummer Boy", "White Winter Hymnal", "That's Christmas To Me"?? I rock their Christmas stuff, all year round. Please, please, please...Try it! I promise....you won't be disappointed!! :)
I LIVE for the PTX reactions!! You should check out their music video cover of Papaoutai - they use a cello and violin in that, and the video is completely different from what they typically do. Also, check out their live version of Aha! At Singapore Star Vista - it’s iconic!
Great reaction--your facial expressions are better than words. As it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, could you react to some of the PTX Christmas videos? There are a couple which have had copyright problems in the past (the unusual mashup "Winter Wonderland"/"Don't Worry, Be Happy", the gorgeous "Mary Did You Know" and the Grammy-award winning arrangement of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"), but the copyright mafia seem to have eased up on them, and everything else in the PTX Christmas catalogue is safe. I am particularly fond of their arrangement of "Carol of the Bells" (their first Christmas video) and "The First Noel", but don't miss "Joy to the World", "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Little Drummer Boy", "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and "O Come All Ye Faithful", among others. Also, listen to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" (there is a "Yule Log" recording available on RUclips) in which Avi sings the lead; his voice is so wonderfully warm on this song.
LOVE your reactions and i agree, don't worry about not speaking - we can tell you are processing! Would love to see what you feel about Kevin's solo cover "Down" - I think it will blow your mind! :-)
Love your reaction! I've been a pentaholic for years and I love seeing other people find how amazing they are. Don't worry about not talking.. its easy to get lost in their awesomeness! Check out their cover of Radioactive if you want more with instruments!
Don’t worry about trying to speak throughout the video. I actually enjoy seeing reactions like this so that we can all listen clearly as well and then afterwards you can speak on it. Some ppl do too much during the video and you can’t hear the actual video cuz they’re talking the whole time.
You should really react to "wizard of ahhhs" Pentatonix and Todrick Hall together it is an awesome video and musical arrangement. It plays off of "wizard of oz" with a twist.
Thank you!!! I’ve been hoping you would react to Say Something. Great job. Please keep doing PTX reactions. You’re the best I’ve seen at doing reactions and I love watching reactions to PTX videos. Suggestions - La La Latch and Perfume Medley. But everything they do is great, so pick what looks interesting to you and I’m sure the Pentaholics will happy.
Please react to Avriel and the Sequoias song Fields and Pier. This is Avi's group and Kevin played cello in that song. Avi mimics the lowest cello notes gorgeously at one point. Beautiful song. Check out his solo stuff. Very different, but stunning. Love your reactions, sweetie.🌼
Thanks for another great reaction. You do such a good job. Please do a reaction to their live performance of Imogene Heap's "Aha" performed at the Star Vista, Singapore. A must see for any Pentaholic.
During the breakdown/bridge whatever everyone is echoing the words "say something" and they're all overlapping. The sad thing is they're all waiting for the other person to say something and they miss that everyone is saying the same thing... that's what this song feels like to me. Everyone in their minds feeling it's the others who won't speak up, but while they're waiting for the other person to say something, they miss their chance. Failure to communicate because everyone just gives up. My favorite part of the song is all Avi's parts, especially when he comes in at the beginning sounding more like a Cello than Beyonce does (Beyonce is Kevin's cello).
Great job, newgirl! Facial reactions during the song are great! I would rather hear your opinions and observations after the song so it doesn't take away from it. Please turn up the volume of the video (I have to turn it up all the way , and then your voice sounds like thunder).
You should check out their cover of Papauotai and Radioactive. They not only have Kevin playing his cello but Lindsey Stirling playing her violin. They sing Papaoutai in French. Can't wait to see your reaction to them. I know you would love their original song "Run To You" it is pure vocal harmony, no beatboxing. It is my favorite Pentatonix song.
Great reaction as always. Could you stay reacting to Superfruit as well? I'd start with their older medleys and then their new original stuff 😊 they're amazing.
I actually prefer when reactors don't talk during the song, they tend to miss all of the good parts and it's super frustrating. Facial expressions and exclamations are what I look for during and then the actual reaction afterwards, exactly how you did it lol
Lol “they can’t replicate instruments”, they can and do all the time. It’ll be fun to watch you react when you come across these examples. No shade whatsoever.
Awesome reaction! PLZ REACT to: DARREN ESPANTO-14 yrs old here-20Mill.Vws *CHANDELIER* & even better *I BELIEVE* , at 15: *I'LL BE THERE* -Jackson5 & at 16: *DESPACITO* ..Sooo good! Thx! :)
Hi NewGirl246, since you know music (shifting, esclations,runs, etc...) maybe you have time to react to a 9 yo girl (10 yo now) that almost died at 4/5 yo (her back story is in her first audition) and since she has taken singing lessons (since age 5) her voice has matured to a point where I am sure you will be W.O.W.'ed (With-Out-Words). She was on AGT this year and made it all the way to the finals. The list below is in order top to bottom...if you are not able to react, then just listen to her ... you will definitely appreciate what she can do.

newgirl246 just a little note his cello is named Beyoncé. I thought you would find interesting
I was so shook when I saw this the first time, and every time since, especially knowing this was Avi's swan song with PTX. They put so much emotion and soul into their singing.
Except I think this was done a year or more before he left.
It's almost like Kirsten is this damaged soul and Avi, Mitch, Scott, and Kevin are her guardian angels, surrounding her and seeking to keep her safe. It's a beautiful image.
About only time you'll see Kevin play the cello...as known for voices only, but so added to thism!
Shallow is another upgrade. 😊👍

It's a painting come to life.,and their emotions are everything.

It doesn't matter which PTX song you listen to. They're all amazing.
It is so much better and less distraction when reactors wait to the end of the song to share their thoughts; thank you.
If you really love their harmonies I would highly suggest Run to You. It's an original by them and it's incredibly beautiful!!
Yess 💛💛💛
pentatonix is the way to go. i mean everyone of their songs is original or alteast have an original twist to it and is amazing allways so like go on, do em all, pls, more.
I live the way you smile at 2:43.
That note hits me right in the feels for some reason ha ha
Great reaction! Check out 'Run to You,' one of their originals. It's completely a-capella and their vocals are just gorgeous.
I knew you would love this one! Thank you for reacting to it!
Kevin invented celloboxing (beatboxing while playing cello) and the cello is the only instrument that I am aware of that PTX has occasionally added to their songs.
Excellent reaction!
The pain comes through *so* strongly here ... it can eviscerate and flense you! Almost *too* powerful!
The Cello is the string instrument that most approximates the human voice, so it does blend very well with the surrounding vocals.
the way they built this up was just genius
Nice reaction. You let us hear the music. Consider stopping it to comment between the stanzas.
Oh yes, you are drop dead gorgeous.🎵
Great reaction! Aren't you ready for some holiday music by Pentatonix yet??? Their Christmas album's have been chart toppers for the last several years! May I suggest: "Angels We Have Heard on High", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "Come All Ye Faithful", "Carol of the Bells", "Little Drummer Boy", "White Winter Hymnal", "That's Christmas To Me"?? I rock their Christmas stuff, all year round. Please, please, please...Try it! I promise....you won't be disappointed!! :)
would marry this woman in a second, she is so beautiful.
Newgirl246 not responding be like: "what can i say except delet this"
Spelling "mistake" intended for the memes lol
I LIVE for the PTX reactions!! You should check out their music video cover of Papaoutai - they use a cello and violin in that, and the video is completely different from what they typically do. Also, check out their live version of Aha! At Singapore Star Vista - it’s iconic!
Laura Pew I think she should check Kevin covers !:D

As it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, could you react to some of the PTX Christmas videos?

LOVE your reactions and i agree, don't worry about not speaking - we can tell you are processing! Would love to see what you feel about Kevin's solo cover "Down" - I think it will blow your mind! :-)
amazing reaction. one of my favorite
React to Pentatonix La la latch!
Love your reaction! I've been a pentaholic for years and I love seeing other people find how amazing they are. Don't worry about not talking.. its easy to get lost in their awesomeness!
Check out their cover of Radioactive if you want more with instruments!
PLEASE react to Kevin Olusuola "Down" cover you are gonna love it please !!! Love your reactions :)!
It's a KOver. :)
I like you’re reactions. Most people when they react, they talk over it and missed certain things. You’re doing good 🙂
Keep up the great work 😁 I’m subscribed:)
You should do pentatonix reactions more often.
Tony Lari yesss
Don’t worry about trying to speak throughout the video. I actually enjoy seeing reactions like this so that we can all listen clearly as well and then afterwards you can speak on it. Some ppl do too much during the video and you can’t hear the actual video cuz they’re talking the whole time.
I love how nobody notices Scott and Avi shadowing the cello with their harmonies at about 2:30 or so.
Beatboxing is hard enough but playing the cello while beatboxing is insane!!
You should really react to "wizard of ahhhs" Pentatonix and Todrick Hall together it is an awesome video and musical arrangement. It plays off of "wizard of oz" with a twist.
Its on Todrick Hall's uTube site.
i love your reaction😊
There's no way you "got lost" during the video. Just had to see your face to see that you were "gobsmacked" just like me. Great song, great reaction.
Thank you!!! I’ve been hoping you would react to Say Something. Great job. Please keep doing PTX reactions. You’re the best I’ve seen at doing reactions and I love watching reactions to PTX videos. Suggestions - La La Latch and Perfume Medley. But everything they do is great, so pick what looks interesting to you and I’m sure the Pentaholics will happy.
Oooh you should check out Pentatonix' cover of 'Ride' and their original 'Love Again' too.
Time for Christmas music Pentatonix style. "Drummer Boy" , "Mary Did You Know", "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies"
Please react to Avriel and the Sequoias song Fields and Pier. This is Avi's group and Kevin played cello in that song. Avi mimics the lowest cello notes gorgeously at one point. Beautiful song. Check out his solo stuff. Very different, but stunning.
Love your reactions, sweetie.🌼
In the first part, Avi was harmonizing with the cello.
Best reaction videos
Thanks for another great reaction. You do such a good job. Please do a reaction to their live performance of Imogene Heap's "Aha" performed at the Star Vista, Singapore. A must see for any Pentaholic.
Please please please react to their Cheerleader cover when you get the chance!!! Thanks!! Great reaction!! ❤️

Kevin beat boxes and plays cello at the same time. Tremendous ralent.
Great reaction as always. Could you stay reacting to Superfruit as well? I'd start with their older medleys and then their new original stuff 😊 they're amazing.
I dunno if you like cello but, I suggest - 2cellos - Show Must Go On or Thunderstruck or The Trooper
"Radioactive" for more instrumentation... "Starships".. "Somebody I used to know".
It’s better to just listen sometimes. 👍
You should react to o come o come Emanuel by PTX, theres no music video but its such a beautiful song
I actually prefer when reactors don't talk during the song, they tend to miss all of the good parts and it's super frustrating. Facial expressions and exclamations are what I look for during and then the actual reaction afterwards, exactly how you did it lol
Kevin came in 2nd place in Yoyo Ma's cello competition. He's really good.
Please react to “Aha” live in Singapore!!!! It’s an amazing cover!!!

love Pentatonix but your mic volume is too LOUD and they are too soft.
Your lovely, expressive eyes make talking during a song unesscessary.
dont fill you reactions with chatter just because you think you need to "say something". a natural reaction is best and what viewers enjoy.
