I agree. They sound beautiful. Too bad unnecessary drums took away Kevin's chance to show how incredible HE sounds live too. What gets people freaked out when they hear Pentatonix is that it sounds like instruments are being played. Yet it's all being done by human voices. They are performing this on tour, sans drums, and it sounds amazing! That makes me think there was no looping in the official video, requiring drums to cover during a live performance while Kevin does something else. I think it's a slap in the face to Kevin, and it's been 8 years of this sort of thing. Time for Kevin to be shown some respect.
I know right! I miss the way they used to be sooo strict on what acapella is, and it is a style without instruments. Like on the live performances back when Avi was still in the group you almost never seen them using instruments apart from kevens chello every so often
The fact that they can do so much with their voices is still limited that they are only five people. The addition of instruments just makes it richer than it already is
I'm staggered at how both Matt and Scott were practically pitch perfect. Matt hit every single note flawlessly, he sounded identical to the studio version. I still think back to the amazing Avi and miss his input but can't deny that Matt brings an added warmth and richness to the bass that really has lifted this group to a new standard.
Scott's lower range and Matt's base are closer so more Matt/Scoott harmonies are possible and are a great counterpoint to the Mitch/Kirstin ones. That wasn't possible with Avi. Also I think Matt's higher range is better and purer than Avi's, as brilliant as he was.
Rooooooooobbbb!!! Could not have said it better myself. (I blubbered right along with you) Some people may not understand why we feel the way we do about these kids but, I have watched them grow up practically. You too? Been watching them almost from the beginning. . . There's no way to make that sound less creepy. Just wonder how far they'll go. They just keep getting better and better. Thank you for your time and honest reactions to the videos you do. I have my favorites that I watch, ( did I just hear someone holler, STRANGER DANGER?) I've seen some " reacters" lay it on (drama) pretty thick and I don't believe em. Once again, thank you Rob. Until next time I peep in your window. . . (Fluttering eye lashes)
I think they finally have the clout and dedicated people to be able to tell even the Jimmy Kimmel Show's sound guy to please take a seat and let their people do their thing on the mixing.
As much as I love Hallelujah my favorite is Sound of Silence. From that first note Scott reaches out to you through the screen for into the audience and just latches onto you and hold you in. He has never let go of me since. The fact that they sound the same live as they do on their video is a testament to just how outstanding they are. I really wonder how much time they been rehearsing. I know it has to be a lot because the product they put out is Sao Paulo. I love watching you react because you allow us to see your emotions. The purpose of art is to connect with a person on an emotional level. And the more visceral that reaction the greater the connection and meaning that that piece of art has for the person taking it in. We not only get your mental perspective on it but we also get your emotional, physical, even spiritual reaction and that a vulnerability that you show I commend because so many reactors stop themselves. I really hope you enjoyed yourself at La concert.
I feel the same way, Rob. Those are my babies. Have you seen Brian Justin Crum's mom in the audience when he sings "Creep" on America's Got Talent? That's me. She's not just a proud parent. She's a proud parent silently telling the world, "Just you wait."
I'm always blown away hearing them live, and like you Rob, I'm happy when other's get to hear them live. What they do is unbelievable, but always validated when people hear them live. Thx for the reaction. :)
I think the drummers apperance is to back up kevin due to the fact that the place is on an open area not like a on a closed space. In which sound travel is all over and not concentrated in a specific space. Oh well thats my two cents in it and peace out👍👍👍😁😁😁
Oh my Gosh. I love your reactions. You react the exact same way I do when hearing a beautiful piece of music. You know, i would love to see you reacting to Dimash Kudaibergen singing SOS from The singer competition.
If you haven't already done a reaction to their live performance at the Wicked 15th Anniversary special, you really should. It's fabulous. Here's the best link: ruclips.net/video/Rpgc5RihEXs/видео.html& Mitch and Kirsten are darling together and they're all in fabulous voice. I checked your Pentatonix playlist and I could find it, so I thought you might have missed it.
You’ve got one of the best percussion beat boxers in Kevin on stage yet you bring out totally unnecessary drums, and the cameras completely ignore him. WTH?!
@@jimsmith8435 exactly. Maybe it was about the drums being there taking away from Kevin’s talent. Idk but I’m guessing this because that was the only problem to me.
Did not like the drums, they were distracting. Part of the drum parts at least were in synch with the song but other parts it sounded like they were just doing their own thing and not in synch. Mitch looked gorgeous
Kirstie not only sounded even better live, she looked incredible. WOW !
This is a very gentle man. We need more like him.
Amen
The performance is more amazing knowing that it was live instead of studio... And Matt's solo drop to bass gets me every time.
I know what you mean by feeling a sense of pride. I feel it too. Love you Rob ❤️❤️
Beautiful and so perfect.

Maschelle Mashburn actually drums were used in the studio version as well
I know right! I miss the way they used to be sooo strict on what acapella is, and it is a style without instruments. Like on the live performances back when Avi was still in the group you almost never seen them using instruments apart from kevens chello every so often
i totally agree
It’s less strain on his voice though and who says music styles can’t evolve?
The fact that they can do so much with their voices is still limited that they are only five people. The addition of instruments just makes it richer than it already is
Scott belting this live is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. See you tomorrow!
Wow... I can feel the connection between you and the way Pentatonix sang that beautiful song... just seeing you tear up makes me tear up again...
I'm shocked ! Had heard the studio version and really didn't think that a live version could be this good.... schocked and shook
They totally nailed it. ❤
I still start to cry every time when Scott sings the final verse ¦') great song, great cover, great reaction)
Hearing it live on tour is even more spectacular. Waterproof makeup always.
I never get tired of hearing Scott sing this. Everyone did a great job for sure. But Scott literally puts his heart and soul into Sound of Silence 💙

Matt brings his own kind of magic to the group. Much as I love Avi, I think Matt is a better fit.
You are so sweet, a rare person with a warm loving heart.
Rooooooooobbbb!!!

believe em.
Once again, thank you Rob.
Until next time I peep in your window. . . (Fluttering eye lashes)
Luv the way Pentatonix sings that song its amazing and wonderful. Great reaction as always.
Love your PTX reactions.
That's ok Rob they make me emotional too sometimes.
I loved your reaction.
It sounded so perfect, I kept looking to see if maybe they were using a track. I know they usually don't, but it was just so perfect!
I think they finally have the clout and dedicated people to be able to tell even the Jimmy Kimmel Show's sound guy to please take a seat and let their people do their thing on the mixing.
I'm tearing up right along with you darlin. Your reactions are so genuine and pure, bless you.
I love your reactions, Rob. You are a true lover of music!
You’re making me cry again Rob x
Wowww
This is so perfect, its crazy....
Love pentatonix

I love your emotions, I cry every time I see these songs,😁
Just AWESOME!! love this group...
Kevin is all those drums combined

As usual, one of them didn't get the wardrobe announcement. This time it was Mitch. Love that red suit though.
Oh, I think he got the memo. Notice the drums? Red and black. Kevin has red shoes. Matt has red in his shirt. Mitch is perfect. As always!
I love this group! They are magnificent! Great reaction Rob!✌❤
Have fun tomorrow! It’s an awesome show!
I Needed My Rob Reactor Fix. LOL! 😆
This is the best version of this song
Class

Saw you at the Nashville show tonight! didn’t get a chance to say hi but I hope you truly loved it as much as me :)
Man they do good singing live!
Oh my God Mitch it's Amazing 😘
Oh my god

Check out Forestella WOW

I really dislike when they add instruments to an Accapella performance. Geeeeez!
They were great as usal but leave the drums out kevin all the way !
Hey Rob, I want to see your reaction on Old town road - Lil Nas 😎
does anybody know why I can't find the original live video anymore on yt?
it was removed :(. idk why
hmm hmm I’m pretty sure they were using auto tune, idk if it had anything to do with it but there are little pieces where they mess it up, so🤷🏼♀️
@@twinkful Where??????? Don't think so.
@@jimsmith8435 exactly. Maybe it was about the drums being there taking away from Kevin’s talent. Idk but I’m guessing this because that was the only problem to me.
I love pentatonix but I thought they were a capella this video makes me doubt now.
The drums actually detracted from the performance in my opinion. I also think it was not quite at their normal level.
Better without the drums. It corrupts.
They took Kevin's spotlight 🙁 unnecessary
El del medio siempre realiza la misma forma de terminar, medio raro, parece playback
Did not like the drums, they were distracting. Part of the drum parts at least were in synch with the song but other parts it sounded like they were just doing their own thing and not in synch.
Mitch looked gorgeous
この演出は、あまり好みじゃないかな。みんなの顔が見えずらいし ケビンの邪魔にしか見えない打楽器いる？
シンプルに、メンバーだけのサウンドを楽しみたいなー。
Thanks Pantashit for running the song
