    1. Pentatonix named themselves after the pentatonic scale, a scale with five (penta) tones, just as Pentatonix has five (Penta) singers.
    2. The members of Pentatonix. In this video we have:
    • First verse: Tall blond guy, Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. In describing a man's vocal range, "lyric" means that the actual range exceeds the nominal range. In Scott's case, he sings everywhere from about the middle of a normal bass range through most of a normal tenor range. Probably five or six octaves. Scott typically takes over the bass harmony line when their bass has a solo.
    • Second verse: Bearded guy wearing a stocking cap, Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo - his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances - but his range extends to somewhere in the middle of a normal tenor range.
    • Third verse: The only woman in Pentatonix, Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado. Kirstin sings everywhere from a low alto through coloratura soprano, the highest female range. And she has fantastic whistle notes on top of that. Lately Pentatonix has begun referring to her as an "alto soprano."
    • Fourth verse: Guy wearing a wide-brimmed hat, Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), natural contratenor. No one is certain whether Mitch can sing higher than Kirstin or Kirstin can sing higher than Mitch; I suspect that it varies from day to day, though everyone agrees that Kirstin has better whistle notes. Mitch is known for his ethereally beautiful (some say "angelic") high vocals. Shawn Stockman, of Boyz II Men, said Mitch has "one of the prettiest voices I have ever heard in my life." Mitch switches seamlessly from chest voice to mixed voice to head voice. He has a range of just over six octaves. And we call that stunned look people get the first time they realize that the beautiful high voice is coming from a man, "being Mitch slapped." You've just been Mitch slapped. Don't let it worry you; it's happened to all of us, generally more than once, because Mitch is full of surprises.
    • The fifth member of Pentatonix (PTX for short) is Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth) beatboxer extraordinaire. There may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. We don't get to hear Kevin sing as often as we'd like because he's generally too busy being the entire percussion section, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally descends to the uppermost reaches of a baritone range. He's also known for the beauty of his falsetto, which I believe goes higher than Mitch can. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. When he was a teenager he performed at Carnegie Hall twice, once on the piano and once on the saxophone. He beatboxes while playing the cello, which he refers to as "celloboxing." He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had already been accepted to Yale Medical School when he gave up his dream of becoming a surgeon to pursue his dream of becoming a professional beatboxer instead. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, German, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs the whole planet seems like a brighter place.
    In 2017 Avi found it necesssary to leave Pentatonix, for a variety of personal reasons. He has since gone on to have a very successful solo career, and I strongly recommend subscribing to his RUclips channel, which you can find here: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic
    Avi's replacement joined in either late 2017 or early 2018 (depending on how you figure it); you'll see him in a lot of their videos:
    • The second black member of Pentatonix is Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass. In addition to being the newest member of Pentatonix Matt is also the youngest member, and I'm told that bass voices improve with age. Matt's range seems to be growing on a daily basis right now. His current lowest note seems to be A1, which just barely counts as basso profundo, though not the blowing out speakers variety. But on his high end Matt reaches nearly the top of a normal tenor range. To find his current range I recommend listening to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah." You can find one here: ruclips.net/video/FqphhPapkoc/видео.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, and it will blow you away.

    Welcome to Pentatonix with the rest of us. Just a heads up you had some difficulties with the audio (a definite echo) and also some of it was rather muffled so you may want to work that out before your next reaction. See you next time!

    • @Gwennedd
      @Gwennedd 8 месяцев назад

      Oh good! I thought it was just me that was hearing extra reverb on the audio. I have new hearing aids, so I'm not totally used to hearing music with them yet and thought it may have been me having the volume up too much. I also noticed a few cuts in the actual video, so I'm guessing the reactor cut pieces out to deal with the blocking algorithms.

    • @MrMagnoReacts
      @MrMagnoReacts  8 месяцев назад +1

      @missangie001 appreciate it, i'm still working on my audio, so yes i'm trying to improve that, the video was getting blocked, so i had to cut a little bit of the video and add a effect to get through, will be fixed on the PTX future reactions

    Just subscribed for Pentatonix. Yes check your audio as there is a echo. I am sure my other Pentaholic family will direct you to what to do next.
    And yes rather pause than skip sections of the song.
    Since they started there has been only ONE change. The guy with the beard left the group amicably and Matt joined the group.
    You will discover that later.
    The reason I mention this is that Kirstie and the high tenor Mitch don't look the same in other videos. They regularly change their appearances.

      ​@@MrMagnoReactsPentatonix loves RUclips reactions and reactors; they're well aware that reaction videos have helped to make them the success that they are today. Unfortunately, their copyrights are owned by their publisher, RCA, and RCA doesn't share their love of reaction videos. RCA is notorious for making copyright claims that get reaction videos taken down.
      The claims all seem to be about the video, not the music, and there are several strategies people use to keep their reactions up. Some people only react to live performances. This works, but it's limiting. In general, Pentatonix is as good live as they are in their official releases, but that's musically; there are a few of their official videos that have important video effects that can't be duplicated live. The most obvious one is "Imagine," but several others spring to mind. Also, if you only react to live performances you can't react to any "Behind the Scenes" or "Making of" videos.
      Another strategy is to pause the video frequently. This is probably a good idea (be sure to rewind a bit whenever you do this), but the definition of "frequent" is subjective so I don't recommend it as your only protection. What seems to work best is to slightly mask the video, combined with frequent pauses. Some people put a translucent "PENTATONIX" or "COPYRIGHT" over the video; others put what appears to be a window with raindrops on it over the video. Remember, the pentaholics are here to see your reaction, not the video - we've seen the video numerous times already. We only need to be able to see enough of it to be sure what exactly you're reacting to, in real time. (Note: This is my standard post on this subject. Your snowflake effect was probably enough to get your reaction through without any of the other steps you took.)

    You can't go wrong listening to anything Pentatonix has released; it's all gorgeous. But all pentaholics have our own personal favorites that we like to recommend. These are some of my favorites:
    • "Hallelujah" ( a recent live performance, with Matt: ruclips.net/video/FqphhPapkoc/видео.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL )
    • "Imagine" (the official video)
    • "The Prayer"
    • "Bohemian Rhapsody"
    • "Sound of Silence"
    • "Run To You" (an original, written by Avi and Kevin)
    • "Happy Now" (another original)
    • "Daft Punk Medley" (their first Grammy winner)
    • "O Come All Ye Faithful"
    • "O Holy Night" (they did a totally new recording for their 2023 Christmas album; you can find the official video here: ruclips.net/video/ReJAU2mXm8w/видео.htmlsi=upj2Q3vLqigVEtgm )
    • "Pure Imagination / Christmas Time is Here" (preferably the live Vevo recording)
    • "Kiss From a Rose" (preferably the live Vevo recording)
    • "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch"
    • "The Lucky Ones" (an original, written by Scott)
    • "Thank You" (an original, written by Scott and his then fiancé, now husband, Mark Manio Hoying, shortly after the end of COVID lockdown, about how much easier it was to get through that time because they were together)
    • "The Kevin Show/Kevin's Fifth." This is a live feed from a concert they gave in Owensboro, Kentucky, Kevin's home town: ruclips.net/video/DbCasvcNx78/видео.html
    Additionally, IF you're familiar with _"The Wizard Of Oz"_ (the 1939 movie starring Judy Garland), I recommend "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)": ruclips.net/video/QkVeKb2igrg/видео.html If you've never seen the movie it won't make sense, so take care of that first.

      @@MrMagnoReacts Um, 2013 is a good deal more recent than 1939.
      I'm in my 70s. When I was growing up we didn't have cable television or DVDs (let alone BlueRay); we had network television that we pulled in with an antenna. Basically, five channels, one of which was PBS. And every year, around Thanksgiving, one of the networks would air _"The Wizard of Oz."_ And every year we'd watch it, and then I'd have trouble sleeping for fear that I'd have nightmares about flying monkeys, but I'd still watch it again the following year, probably because my dad loved it so much. 😄
      IMO, the biggest thing the original movie has going for it is the wonderful voice of Judy Garland. And, unfortunately, it was filmed before there were proper protections in place for child actors. For instance, the studio thought Judy was overweight and insisted that she go on weight loss pills; this was probably a contributing factor in her early death, and it's unforgivable. So it's a wonderful movie, but the producers abused a child in the making of it. I won't criticize anyone who wants to boycott it, though it's a bit late for that. At least we know that it was a significant factor in getting new laws written that offer more protection for child actors nowadays. I think Judy would appreciate that.

    Is Scott the lead singer in Pentatonix? Yes. And no. It's more accurate to say that Scott is A lead singer in Pentatonix.
    Not all songs benefit from a lead singer. "Hallelujah," for instance, does quite well with a different singer leading on each verse. In "Seasons of Love" Kirstin takes the lead. In "The Prayer" Mitch and Scott sing a duet, with the rest of Pentatonix backing them up. "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is a tour de force for Matt. In "Light in the Hallway" Avi sings lead (Scott specifically wrote the song with Avi's voice in mind). In "Imagine" every member, including Kevin, solos at one point or another. In "Bohemian Rhapsody" every member got a chance to channel his or her inner Freddie Mercury. And in "Run To You" (a Pentatonix original, written by Avi and Kevin) there are no solos and no percussion; it's just glorious five part harmony throughout.
    Pentatonix is a very close knit group; they act like family. And as in any functional family, each member contributes their best and each member gets time in the spotlight. And always, ALWAYS, Pentatonix does what is best for the music.
