#VocalCoachReaction
This is one of the best reactions I've ever seen. There are a lot of nonsense PROFESSIONAL reacts to pentatonix and you can tell it's just click bait. Yours isn't - it's one of the best technical and professional examinations of pentatonix I've ever seen. and I've seen a LOT. Thanks for your time and effort and you can multiply that by 10 for the english subtitles - very few non-english speakers take the time to do that. Kudos to you and I hope your channel does as well as it deserves!
ChodTheWacko, I am truly grateful for your kind words. It is a lot of work and effort BUT the kindness, support, encouragement I am receiving in return by many generous commenters like you, repays me 10 times as much! Thank you! Roberto.
Ya, what you said!
Somehow, when the reactor interrupts, I'm so interested in what he has to say next that I don't MIND the interruptions - I look forward to them. What a great teacher. :D
Well said - what a wonderful reaction!
I AGREE!
I've watched hundreds of Pentatonix reaction vids, including a bunch from professional voice coaches. Your analysis is the first one I've seen which has gone into this level of detail from the standpoint of breaking down the arrangement on the fly. You are hearing and commenting on things that I've not seen other reactors catch, so kudos to you.
Allan, your words are very appreciated, thank you!!!
Instant and detailed analysis "on the go". Even though there are lots of pauses, I like this better than the "cheerleader" reactions which don't really educate or inform. Good job. s The first time I ever heard them perform, I just sat there with my mouth hanging open and teary-eyed.
Loved your review. You expressed many things that I have also thought that other reviewers have not mentioned. I have subscribed in hopes of seeing more of your work.
"Beautiful descent into hell". That has to be my favorite description of a bass singer I've ever heard. 😆
:-)
Loved this reaction because it's interesting to see a professional break down their arrangements. They are so unique and perfect. That's why they won 2 Grammys for arranging. A third one for a collaboration.
Please check out Hallelujah next and do it just like this one!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you, Sabine!!!
I would love to be a fly on the wall when they are creating the arrangements
Thank you for your subtitles and and your thoughtful breakdown of their arrangement. They are very intentional with every word, note, beat & silence. They have been together for a decade now and trust each other implicitly with timing. We Pentaholics call their build up, the Wall of Sound and yes they often have full silence breaks as they know well how to use them. When they sing on same notes for a line or two, we can expect them to break back into harmonies which is SO powerful. Bravo!
Amazing Grace is stunning!
Thank you Karen for your comment!
Yes, Amazing Grace!
I have listened to a fairly large number of reactions to this and other Pentatonix videos. Yours is the most complete, most incisive and in many ways the most knowledgeable I have come across. In addition, you do a better job of explaining and relating what you are experiencing, feeling and knowing than anyone I have heard/seen. There others who are knowledgeable and ,of course, some are specialized in certain areas but you excel in all areas. You pick up on nuances in the performance that many do not and you bring them to life for people who do not possess you knowledge, experience or artistic depth and understanding. You have a wonderful gift and you are a wonderful gift for all of us. Thank you !
Michael, words like yours, full of kindness, encouragement, support, are the best gift I could hope to get in return for my little contribution! Thank YOU!!!
100% agree, I’ve watched A LOT of reactions to this performance and this was by far the most informative and in depth analysis. I absolutely loved it 😊
What a privilege it is to listen to your reactions. You have my undivided attention from the outset because with every word you utter, I feel I am receiving an education. Your sheer love of music is blindingly obvious and your depth of knowledge and musicianship is astonishing. Without a doubt the best reviewer on RUclips. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us lesser mortals.
Thank you SO much, kuraudoirene!!!
As a Pentatonix fan I am always "wowed" by their voices blended and individually and the skill of their transitions. Having watched hundreds of reactors, this is the first time I have given a "wow!!" to a reactor, the most skilled of all, and also a "wow" to the commenters this reactor has attracted. Count me in!
Jack, your kind words are truly appreciated! Thank you for your support!
Best reaction ever!!!! More pentatonix please!!
Thank you SOO much, rob!!!
@@LezioniDiCantoOnline your very welcome....please react to halleluja,amazing grace, mad world and anything else by pentatonix..
I love the respect you give Matt and Kevin
Roberto, I just recently discovered your channel.
How refreshing it is to see a real professional dissect the song/performance phrase by phrase, and render your personal critique of the construction, implementation, and delivery, of these genius renditions of songs that were popular so long ago.
Pentatonix is today's ABBA with a much more sophisticated modern twist to their compositions. I, like others, have stated... get so disgusted with most other analyses of these ( know-nothings) that never hear what you absorb, because they are not cultivated enough to appreciate what they are hearing.
Thank you for your precise examination of every layer of color and texture this group puts into their performances. It is beyond belief.
Thank you for unearthing, and expounding. on the hidden treasures of phrasing and tone and timing, that might go unappreciated had you not brought them to light. You are a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you for your channel, and all the work you put into it.
Johnnyohness, your super kind and encouraging comment made my day! Thank you SO much for that! Roberto
Thanks, Robert for every time you post theses, I learn to love music even more.
Diane, thank YOU, I am so happy to hear I can be of some help!!!
I was thrilled to see you had a new reaction today and to one of my favorite groups! Then, I asked myself why did I enjoy your reactions? And, this is it... because even though music is dots (notes) arranged on lines (staff) written on 2 dimensional paper, so in that sense, it is linear. But when instruments (human and crafted) have those notes applied in specific sequences, it undergoes metamorphosis into a multi dimensional conceptual experience that no ear alone can contain. You get that and the fun for me is listening to you try to explain it.😉
Katy, I couldn’t have found a better, more poetic and elegant way to describe this wonderful alchemy we call music.
A truly multi dimensional conceptual journey within which I like to get lost...in good company!
Thank you!!!
What a perfect description. This is why I love his analysis so much.
Katy, you nailed this!! The music that Pentatonix creates is so much more than vocal range. It certainly is that too, but their arrangements, variations, and intensity levels really create that multidimensional effect.
Roberto, I was new to your channel. I'm very familiar with Pentatonix and have enjoyed much of their work for these half-dozen years or so. It's refreshing and informative to hear reaction and breakdown that exists much more than, "Oooh!! That high note!" "Wait! This is just their voice?!"
Those are amusing for the surprise reaction, and it's fun to watch people discover something, but it was very satisfying to hear you get into chord progressions, rhythm, vowel structure, etc.
There was a time where I sang quite alot with accomplished musicians better than I am. These were the kind of directions I'd receive to bring my baritone along to match their skill.
I very much look forward to more of your work!
@@timfredrickson6141 THANK YOU, Tim!!!
Smartest analysis ever. Pentatonix are real perfectionists and everything they do, they choices they make, are deliberate and well thought out. You picked up soooo much in your analysis. I'm impressed. It took me 50 listenings to pick out those points on my own! (By the way, the female singer, Kirstin, is half-Italian, so there's that... And the high-pitched male singer, Mitch Grassi -- there's got to be some Italian with that last name!)
They end a lot of their songs sotto voce these days. I think you'd love their interpretation of Can You Feel The Love from The Lion King. It is quite the performance, with costumes included. ruclips.net/video/cT1Kzk7akjQ/видео.html. (Extra bonus -- it has THREE key changes!)
Thank you Joe for you comment!
Kirstin isn`t half - Italian. Her mother is Spanish-Italian and father is Mexican.
This has to be one of the best reactions I have ever watched. It was fascinating. You highlighted things in this song I didn't even notice. masterful. You gained a subscriber.
Thank you SO much, Totah Sam!
i love the fact that you went back, and back and back to have us hear what you were talking about. So many dont even pause fewer still go back to keep the flow of the song,,
More pentatonix please
I wish you had been born 50 years earlier. My singing career might have gone somewhere if I had had a teacher like you.
Welcome to the world of Pentatonix. Yes, they are masters of their craft. Please listen to more. Note: a heads up: the bass from 2011 to 2017 was Avi Kaplan. From 2017 to present is Matt Sallee (the one in Sound of Silence).
Members in order of solos:
Scott Hoying - baritone
Mitch Grassi - tenor
Matt Sallee - Bass
Kirstie Maldonado - soprano
Kevin Olusola - Beat boxer (and tenor - he does also sing.)
Thank you Catherine!
What a fantastic review. So detailed....thank you for that. I hope Pentatonix themselves see this explanation & breakdown. Really excellent.
Thank you SO much, Miss Polly!!! 🤞🏻
Wow! YOUR technical skill and enthusiastic delivery made for a very satisfying REACTION :-) Thank you!
(and thank.you so much for the subtitles, as well)
Thank YOU, Elizabeth!!!
It's lovely to see the group not just appreciated for having lovely voices but for the arrangement, the technique, the execution, all the little touches and careful choices that make their performances so good. Appreciation and real analysis. Completely worth reading subtitles!
Thank you for your incredibly gifted analysis. It was truly a blessing to me! My enjoyment of this arrangement will be enhanced forever. And I now want the same for all my favorite Pentatonix songs. Subscribed in anticipation...
Karyl, thank YOU for your words. Really glad to know this could be of some help for someone!
@@LezioniDiCantoOnline I've been thinking about my earlier comment, wishing I had better words to express how grateful I am for the gift of you. As I read through the commemts made by others just now, I kept saying, "Yes, that's what I should have said!" For someone like me who dearly loves Pentatonix but has no training or understanding of the craft, finding someone like you who can help me see and appreciate it at such a deep level is amazing. And your ability to share your joy as you listen brings joy to us. Again, my deepest thanks! Please continue to astonish us...with Amazing Grace, Mary, Did You Know?, Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, and so many others!
Hi Roberto, very beautiful reaction and yes they are so incredible and another of my favorites is Mary did you know and amazing grace, but everything they do is out of this world!!!!! Keep reacting I greatly look forward to you experiencing music take care see you in the next video.
Thank you SO much, Kerry!!!
I think this is one of my favorite reactions to this video, even having to read sub-titles. Love it. More Pentatonix please? Maybe Amazing Grace next?
Thank you, Angie!!!
Thank you for the deep analysis and the sharing of your enjoyment.
My summary of this version is that it retains some of the intensity Disturbed added, yet restores many of the original harmonies by Simon and Garfunkel.
Thank you, R0kus!!!
I was totally captivated by this comprehensive review! You present your emotional reaction to their music, as well as a detailed technical analysis, but you are the first reactor I have heard that marries those two, to help us understand the genius of Pentatonix... exactly how they take us on the emotional journey that draws us in, lifts us up, shakes us to the core, and finally, leaves us somehow changed. Bravo! I would love to hear your analysis of their cover of "Hallelujah," which features their original bass singer, Avi Kaplan, a classically trained basso profundo. You may also enjoy their interpretation of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"... a piece with no lyrics, performed by PTX with no instruments!
Thank you VERY much for your kind comment and feedback, Kaye...truly appreciated!!!
Amazing reaction! Please do more Pentatonix 🙏
I’m thinking he’s added to his list Jake! 😃
Thank you for your wonderfully eloquent reaction! I hope you will react to more Pentatonix. I really enjoyed this reaction!
Thank YOU, Dale!!!
Like so many others here, I really really appreciated the amount of detail you were able to extrapolate in your analysis of their stylistic choices! For example, that little voice break that Mitch puts in at 8:45, which almost makes it sound like he's crying -- which you commented on! I loved that. And the way Matt opens up his notes on "saw" and "songs", taking up so much more space, but then dialing it back just as quickly... all the little details, you caught them all! I was SO impressed!!
If I could speak Italian and if I could afford it, I think I can safely say there's no one I'd rather have as a vocal coach than you, sir.
Thank you VERY much, Mel V!!!
Great reaction and thanks for the subtitles. I think you need to do more Pentatonix some examples Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk and Amazing Grace
Thank you Jo!!!
Thank you for the subtitles! Great reaction! Would love more PTX reactions!
Thank you, Meredith!!!
Okay but I can’t be the only one who was very amused by the „beautiful descent into hell“ part 😂 You need to hear a song with Avi next! If Matt took you straight to hell with his low notes, i really wanna know where Avi‘s low notes take us! 🤔 (Yo, Christian people? What’s below hell? 😂)
I mean then he could do a home free reaction and find out what's below that.
Texas? It is hotter. Haha
Yes Avi!!!!
Not to mention Voiceplay and the Oogie Boogie Song with Geoff!
Avi's low notes would take you to the Abyss
So many of us love Pentatonix but can’t analyze it like you. Please do more ☮️💟😷
Amazing Grace is magnificent, very emotional. Love your reaction🎶🎶🎶💕💕
Thank you Rebecca!
Fabulous analytical discussion with useful piano demonstrations. Keep up your PTX journey, please!
Thank you very much, Alan!!!
Your two reactions to Sound of Silence help me articulate what is so great about your reactions. You are appropriately impressed by the insane range/power of a Dimash or So Hyang, but your passion is for how all those tools are used in the artistic expression of the song. And you have and excellent sense of how to communicate what creates and releases tension, and how that pulls you (and anyone) into the song. Fantastico!
ricobarth, your kind words are super appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
Your reaction was a welcomed breath of fresh air! I loved the way you interpreted the song and its arrangement. I found much that I had missed by simply listening to the song without analysis. So thank you for this! I will be back to hear more from you. So far as I know, Pentatonix does all of their arrangements themselves. They have become masters over the years.
One more note. Have you ever listened to the original song that Simon and Garfunkel wrote and sang in 1964? Such a different approach! But it gets the same message across.
They have a "6th member," Ben Bram who arranges (but the singing members contribute to arrangements too).
Thank you, Kathy! Yes, I've listened to S&G's gem when I was a kid. I used to sing it with my elder brother.
I am five minutes into this reaction and am incredibly delighted. I can't wait to watch the rest, but had to comment immediately because I wanted to suggest a song (even though you're right, it's long past Christmas!) that pertains directly to your comment about the quality of sound and atmosphere the 'ooo' sound makes for the background. In my favorite song that PTX has done, Little Drummer Boy, there's a place where they change from an ooo sound to an ahhh and it's almost like vocal fireworks going on behind the soloist at the time. It's fantastic, and I have yet to see someone comment on it. They also use a filter on the beatboxing at one point to slowly change the 'brightness' of it to support the song, which is very interesting. I'd love to hear (read! My dad, long dead now, spoke Italian, but I wasn't old enough to learn when he passed, sadly) your take on it. Now to watch the rest. Superb, truly fantastic analysis.
Just adding, this was all fantastic--you gave us both your genuine emotional reaction as well as your clear love of music and talent in recognizing what they're doing technically, all at once. I only very slightly mourn the loss of what you've clearly cut out, but at the same time, you display some obvious editing skills in that fact that you've made a complete, coherent, and compelling video for us to watch! I would learn Italian just to be able to understand you had you not included the subtitles, truly. Top-notch, fantastic, subscribed, can't wait to check out your other stuff. Thank you so much for the obvious time, energy, and passion you've put into this.
Thank you VERY much, Darsynia. Your kind words and encouragement are truly appreciated!!! Roberto.
Thanks to you, I now appreciate what Pentatonix is doing with this song. You made every minute of my time and your time count. Thank-you!
Thank YOU, B Smith!!!
Mille grazie!!! This is the most beautiful and intense reaction to ptx ever! Thank you! Greetings from Germany!
Thank you VERY much, Britta!!!
This is the first review I've seen where the reactor catches all the little things I've been seeing on top of adding their own insights and expert thoughts. I really love this reaction and hope you keep reacting to all of Pentatonic because they are so complex and it's great to see someone really break it down.
Thank you, Kristina!!!
Wow, this was such a detailed and thought provoking reaction! Thank you! I've watched this video so many times and you have given me fresh insights and a new understanding of some of the nuances of their process. I look forward to more of your reactions!
Glad to hear that! Thank YOU, S Lane!!!
OMGOODNESS you have absolutely got to do every single song they’ve ever made. Aside from the fact I could listen to you all day long ❤️ but I am one of the biggest PTX fans and have watched virtually ever reactor and yours is so detailed and picks out technical,highlights that nobody else I’ve seen. I discovered you by accident today but I’m gonna be back time and again. Thank you for a fabulous experience❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you So much, Ness!!!
Mad World is another Pentatonix choice. If you want to see them live Hallelujah is also live from A Pentatonix Christmas Special. ☮️💟😷
Their Mad World is brilliant!
Pentatonix are beautiful... Really makes me feel all emotions...
Thanks for helping me appreciate them even more by realizing mentally what I’ve previously only felt.
Thank YOU, GMark!!!
I love how poetic this guys descriptions of sound and imagery are
Thank you, Adrian!!!
Thank you, Roberto, for your thorough and thoughtful analysis. I listen to reactions for PTX exclusively so, of course, I have heard their version of "Sound of Silence" dozens of times. No one has ever captured all the musical (and physical) inflections that these 5 supremely talented folks have performed the way you have. Excellent work! I didn't read all the comments, but I saw a couple people mention that PTX has been together since 2011, but the three in the center (left to right) are Kirstin Maldanado, Scott Hoying, and Mitch Grassi. Scott and Mitch have sung together since middle school and with Kirstin since high school. They are completely in tune with each other. We all have our favorites, but there are very few of their songs that I don't enjoy. I hope you continue listening and reacting to them, and I'm SO glad your opinion changed by listening to this song. ;-)
Thank YOU DeborahSTL, for your comment...very appreciated!
You, sir, may just have the best reactions across the board! Awesome commentary! Cannot wait for more! 🌟
Thank you Danielle!!! 🎩
I Absolutely love your reactions. Your PASSION and JOY for the human voice(instrument) is infectious!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and love for music!!!
Thank YOU, larry!!!
Wow...really enjoyed your breakdown.
Please do more Pentatonix. I would love to see how you would react/breakdown to "Hallelujah".
Btw, the subtitles are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Gretchen!!!
I loved your reaction. Thank you. It was informational and I appreciated your explanations. You love what you do and it shows. Pentatonix is a wonderful and talented group and deserve to be credited for their beautiful harmony and hard work. I am thankful my Kids got interested in them. I would have missed out on this beautiful group. They have given me many hours of pleasurable listening.
.
Thank you, Jean!!!
Your analysis helps me truly understand the depth and emotion of the human voice. You seem to really appreciate more than just notes. Fantastic reaction. I am definitely a new subscriber.
Pentatonix has been together since 2011 and have only changed one member of the group. Bass Avi Kaplan left in 2017 and Matt Sallee (3rd soloist in the white jacket) joined soon after.
Please react to Pentatonix cover of Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody, My Favourite Things and their 1st Grammy win Daft Punk Medley.
Dee Jay, thank you VERY much!!!
The best reaction I've ever heard. Wow. The feelings I have but cannot describe in words. You can do it. Simply great.
I love their cover of Halleluja, come along and bohemian rhapsody.
Thank you VERY much, Miss D. D.!!!
FANTASTIC reaction .!!! Check out their Hallelujah , Amazing Grace , and Bohemian Rhapsody .... They will blow your mind with what they did with these covers .
Thank you SO much, Sarita!!!

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)

Blinding Lights (1 July 2020)
Dreams (22 July 2020)
TYTY
..
Kirsten’s vocals generally cut through the backing vocals like a “blade” as you said. She does the same in “Hallelujah”.
Wonderful reaction! I really enjoyed seeing your emotional response and well as the technical breakdown of this song. Subscribed for more Pentatonix reactions.
Thank you VERY much, pughead2!
"and no-one dared" - I love how Matt, during his solo, turns solo over to Scott just for two bars, singing harmony, then takes it back to finish his verse. Cleverly creative.
Yes!!!
As a classically trained musician, I absolutely love your analysis 🙂.
Thank you VERY much, C B!!!
Having a countertenor makes so much difference. Mitch has such a rare voice
Roberto, today I discovered your review of Pentatonix cover of Sound of Silence, and like others on this thread have remarked, I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction, and informative analysis - so much so I watched your review 3 times. I very much look forward to you future reactions of this amazing group. I myself discovered Pentatonix about 9 months ago and, after experiencing 4 of their official videos and live 2 “live performance” videos, I joined the legion of fans known as Pentaholics.
Felton, thank you SO much for your interest and support!!!
This was one of the most beautiful reactions I've watched... intuitive, responsive, thoughtful.. just so lovely to witness. I loved listening to your interpretation and pleasure listening to it🥰🥰
Thank you soo much, foodnwords!!!
Please react to Pentatonix singing
Hallelujah
Amazing Grace
Be My Eyes
Blinding Lights
I’m just catching up on all of my RUclips recommendations. They are mostly for PTX reaction videos. It’s already been wonderfully and succinctly said earlier, but just to reiterate; this has been the most detailed and informative reaction, Ever! You picked up on, and spoke about EVERYONE’S contribution, interpretation and style in that song, including Kevin’s Beatboxing. You took the time! We went on the journey with you and learned new things!
Thank you! I will look out for more Pentatonix reactions from you - it will be worth it… Bellissimo! 😘
Love PTX, very much enjoyed your breakdown of their techniques. Hope to see more!!!
Thank you, Becca!!!
I'm a fan of Pentatonix and was excited to hear what you had to say about them! I loved hearing your breakdown of the arrangement (honestly I say that a lot). They let me appreciate the songs on another level.
I would love to hear your breakdown of their "Hallelujah" (there is a good quality live version!) and "Run To You" (I believe is an original). Even if you don't react to the second song, you should absolutely listen to it.
Thank you VERY much, Lyrical Love!!!
Thank you for your fantastic reaction and analysis. I am a big PTX fan and the main reason is that they all lend their beautiful voices and talent at the service of the song. Their arrangements are always at the song benefit. Sophisticated, intelligent, creative and emotional, it’s an earful of beauty. Grace. 🤗
YES, totally! Thank you Grace.
Since you sang Hallelujah (nice tone btw) you should reach to the Pentatonix version, Leonard Cohen stated he liked their version before he passes. That is a huge endorsement.
Thank you so much for the Subs and for your very detailed reaction. Looks like you really enjoyed them. Enjoy this Rabbit Hole because, like the Dimash one, it's worth it! =)
Thank you, Anjalena!!!
Amazing ... I never liked this song, but I love PTX. The way you've explained their words, their singing, their voices and ultimately, what the song said, that now, I've grown to understand it and like it. Again, I thank you for being so detailed and patient in explaining it all.
When I listen to this song of almost any Pentatonix song I enjoy in what I have come to understand as a very superficial level. But it’s no less enjoyable. But when I listen to it with you explanation of what’s going on it takes on an entirely new dimension and I can appreciate them so much more. This is the second song of theirs that I have heard you react to and have come away with an even greater love for their music. It is now my intention to go back and listen to all of your reviews of their music. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.
Roberto, I enjoyed your notes & critiques. PENTATONIX are truly remarkable, aren’t they?
Thank you, Susan!!!
I have to say ditto to everything that Chod said. I have been listening to Pentatonix for several years and listening to people respond to their music for about three months. I have to say say your interpretations of what they are doing musically makes the listening experience so much more fulfilling. I always knew what I liked, I just didn’t know why. Thank you!
I really liked your breakdown of this video and your enthusiasm. I love Pentatonix and seeing you react was great. I would love to see more. You might like their version of Bohemian rhapsody.
Thank you, Annika!!!
the song takes us on a journey, and you have been the tour guide, THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you so much for this intelligent and precise reaction to one of my favorite songs. I second the suggestions that you next react to their music video of “Hallelujah.” For me, it’s the definitive cover of this song. Greetings from Florida.
Thank you VERY much, Debbie!!!
This was, by far, one of the best and most satisfying reactions I have ever viewed... And believe, me, I've seen many. Not only did I love listening to your beautiful language, but the way you broke it all down and really exposed the true genius of this group - and this cover specifically - thrilled me to the core. Thank you so very much, and I will definitely look for more of your videos.
Kathleen, thank YOU for your kind words and support!!!
I heard that this wasn’t in English and almost went to the next video. I’m so glad I didn’t. What a fantastic and in depth reaction! I’ve watched dozens of reactions of this song, and none are as fascinating as yours. You really broke down exactly what was happening and made me think differently about a song I’ve heard a million times! Truly one of the best reactions to pentatonix I’ve ever seen. This is incredible.
Thank you SOO much, Transparent Eclipse!!!
Fantastic reaction that gently peeled back the carefully crafted layers. Love it.
Thank you, Terry!!!
The song took us on a journey...you were the tour guide, THANK YOU!!!
I have watched countless reactions to Pentatonix and this is, by far, the most amazing reaction I’ve seen. Not just to Pentatonix but to any group, song, music...You pointed out so much that I had never caught onto before or had even thought about with their arrangement. I wanted to like and re-like this at so many moments. You have earned a new follower and fan. I cannot wait to watch more of your reactions. 🧡
I really liked your review!
From vocal acrobatics you may want to listen to their cover of Kiara "Gold". Impressive!
Even the one you know, 12 days of Christmas, would be interesting to see analyzed properly.
Thank you, Star in the Sky!!!
I love your extensive breakdown analysis of each movement of the song. I learn and see more out of the performance that will provide me with a much more discerning ear for the future. Thank you! Please consider reacting to another acapella group that I love, Home Free.
Thank YOU, Chris!!!
Something about Pentatonix that is very special to me is their juxtoposition of various octaves and voice qualities and methods to create this interesting, complex and rich vocal arrangement. Everyone and their particular voices can shine - everyone adds something special and unique - and the entrance and exit of the singers through the melody and then them dropping back to add to the harmonic foundation of the songs... they do it so well. It seems on the face of it that their voices would be too different to mesh well, but they are all the same amount of different from each other, which creates this very interesting, rich mesh.... I could listen to them all day. The timing is impeccable. Just.... so good.
The way she sings "Words" -- thank you so much for noticing that.
Dude--you are legit.
Best reactions to Pentatonix songs I have ever seen. I'll have to check out all of your reactions, now--damn you. :-)
Thank you SO much, Rip VanWinkle!!!
Wonderful reaction! Subscribed. Perhaps you could react to Pentatonix Amazing Grace as well?
Thank you, Gerri!!!
New subscriber. Thank you so much for this reaction. The depth of your analysis allowed me to better understand the complexity and perfection that is PTX and took my appreciation of their talents to an entirely new level. I look forward to listening to more of your videos.
Thank you VERY much, Carla, glad you can appreciate them even more!
You make me like reading captions. I find your review/reaction excellent. So comprehensive and exposes me to different aspects of their performance. Also, I love Kevin. His contribution is often overlooked because he's not the voice. You've gained a subscriber. :)
Thank you VERY much, bella!!!
I sincerely appreciate the way you break down their voices and rhythms. I have always loved this song and PTX but you have given me a new appreciation of it by explaining the purposefulness with which they approach each note. A true music lesson. Thank you for the English subtitles and the added value of learning a little Italian as well. I will be looking for more of your break downs. Especially if it is PTX. P.S. If your child likes their Christmas songs you may want to play The Grinch for him.
Thank you, Joyce!!!
Wow, what a beautiful passionate lesson on voice and music! You looked moved towards the ending... I felt that...
Thank you bellissimo!
Thank you, TimeForMyself!
Absolutely the BEST reaction to this group I have seen, and believe me, I have seen what seems like a hundred or more. You missed nothing. What an ear you have. Your subtitles are wonderful because although I speak Spanish, my Italian is pretty wobbly. I look forward to your reactions to other Pentatonix songs, especially the Aha! Singapore live version which appears to be taken on someone's phone. I would love to hear your analysis of their voice work as it is quite intense.
Thank you VERY much, Marti!!!
Hi. Great reaction video. Can you Please react to hallelujah from pentatonix - live performance? The harmonies are awesome!! By the way, the original "basso" Avi kaplan, was part of the group...
Pentatonix came together in Texas, USA, when Kirsty, Mitch and Scott were in high school choir together. After high school they added Avi Kaplan as their bass and Keven as beatboxer and sometime tenor (he also plays cello - bellisimo!) and they entered an American TV competition that was strictly for A Capella groups or choirs of any size. They ended up winning that competition and the prize was one hundred thousand dollars and a recording contract. That was 10 years ago and, although Avi literally broke my heart when he left the group a few years ago,they have managed to create an entirely new genre - A Capella pop - and inspire other young singers to follow in their footsteps. There is another amazing A Capella group that won the competition the following year and they have been touring non-stop ever since. They are called Home Free, and I would love to see you react to their music; How Great Thou Art is probably my personal favorite followed by Ring of Fire, but really all of their songs are wonderful and their beatboxer is incredible!
Plesse do more Pentatonix
Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mary Do You Know. They were on a singing competition show called Sing Off.
All of the acts are on You Tube
Sing Off PTX
I don't know if you'll even get my much delayed comment, but I would adore your reaction to one of pentatonix newer covers, "the prayer," where at least some of the singing is done in Italian. You are such an in depth reactor and would love your take on that.
Bravo sir, this is the best Pentatonix reaction I've ever seen. Would love to see more from you. I've listened to Pentatonix since their beginning and am obsessed by them.... now I know why.
Thank you SO much, Barbara!!!
Grazie for your explanation/reaction. I love this group's arrangements of covers and originals. Please listen to Hallelujah, Amazing Grace or really any other of there videos. I appreciate your knowledgeable comments plus I love listening to the Italian language. I visited there years ago with my church choir and got to sing a concert in St. Paul Within the Walls in Rome and sang an Evensong in St. Peter's Basilica, where my quartet sang the Mass of the Angels.The experience of a lifetime!
Wow, you have been so fortunate to sing in one of the most glorious places on earth! Congratulations, Cheryl!
@@LezioniDiCantoOnline The acoustics were amazing in the churches in Florence, Assisi and Rome.We were very fortunate that we were the first non-Catholic choir to sing in St. Peter's and at an audience; we are Episcopalian. I was what I call a decent singer but nothing more so it was a blessing to sing in those places.
interesting, my wife went to the Holy Land spring of 2019 (we've been in quarantine since. At first it was because of the outbreak there, later because of the outbreak here in the states) and she and her group (all Eastern Orthodox) got to sing in Hagia Sophia. She said it was the most uplifting thing she's done so far. Glad you got to sing In St. Paul's, Those are memories to treasure.
@@davidmiller9485 what a wonderful experience for her. St. Paul's is a beautiful church. It was nice that our handbell players were allowed to perform. We were told they'd be allowed to play everywhere, but when we got there all the Catholic churches rescinded.
You have put into words what I am feeling with this song - thank you for your insight and reaction (oh and for the English subtitles)! This is the first time visiting your channel (I am a PTX fan).
Thank you Jo-Anne!!!
