PTX was performing in Australia several years ago. Daft Punk heard this, and when they found out PTX was performing there and doing this song, they made a surprise guest appearance and danced through the crowd while PTX sang their song. It was so cool to see. Also, they won their first Grammy with this arrangement.
They won a Grammy for this.....your journey will suck you in.......welcome to their world and now your world. They all can sing..I would recommend Bohemian Rhapsody. That was my first. I’m a huge Queen fan so that’s why I clicked on their channel...we are call Pentaholic’s a huge fan based. We are loyal and fierce.....They have a 10 year catalog. Enjoy your journey....we will all help you along the way.....Judy D from NY State..I always subscribe to new reactors who discover PTX...
Definitely in my top 5 PTX, together with 'Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy', 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'The Sound of Silence'! They are in a different level. They worked really hard to get there, and some good luck on their side didn't hurt at all! Nowadays, they have a whole troupe of brilliant people behind them. They really made it!
Scott Hoying (blonde, but white hair in this video) Baritone covers bass, when bass singing lead, also can go pretty high with falsetto. Mitch Grassi brunette tenor, crazy range can go pretty low to very high, he also raps very well in some videos. He changes his appearance a lot, but its always him. Kirstin Maldonado mezzo soprano. Recent years her voice has gotten much richer and has very wide range. Changes her hair color a lot. These three went to high school together and were a trio. Scott was in 1st year of college @USC and heard of a show called The Sing Off. Called up Mitch still in senior year of HS and Kirstie to audition. They found Avi Kaplan through a friend. Avi Kaplan bass, left the group in 2017 because the tour schedule was too hectic and he wanted to spend more time with his family. They found Kevin on youtube video of him demonstrating cello-boxing. Kevin Olusola beatboxer, tenor, cellist. Kevin was in pre med at Yale. He speaks fluent Mandarin. They met up in L.A. ONE day before the audition for The Sing Off. They won the sing off in 2011. End of 2017 Matt Sallee became their bass replacing Avi. Matt Sallee bass, newest member who has amazing range and is always smiling. They have original music also that is incredible. Daft Punk won Grammy #1 Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy won Grammy #2 Jolene with Dolly Parton won Grammy #3. They have 11 albums, (I believe) HUNDREDS of videos, and songs on RUclips to listen to. That's just the tip of the iceberg...
They all can sing and do sing lead. The girl Kirsten Maldonado is a mezzosoprano. Mitch Grassi (dark hair, small beard) is a countertenor, he has about the same range as Kirsty. Scott Hoying (white hair) is a baritone who can also cover the bass. The three have been friends since high school. They wanted to take part in the sing-off show, but for this groups of 5 people were needed. More or less the day before the show they met Kevin Olusola (vocal percussions, cello). Sorry, I forgot how they met Avi Kaplan (black hair, bigger beard, often a beanie), the bass. He is an opera trained basso profundo, the lowest of the basses, and as good as Geoff and Tim. He left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Matt Sallee. You might think that there had been more changes in the line up, but Kirsty and Mitch change their looks very frequently. Mitch and Scott have their own project together called Superfruit. You will find them on their YT-channel. Kevin has also his own channel.
SUPERFRUIT has amazing videos also. They released an album in 2017 and made a music video for every song except for one. Highly suggest Superfruit reactions.
They actually filmed this for 400 dollars in Avi's closed (The bass) and this won them a Grammy . They are amazing, I suggest you check out "dance of the sugar plum fairy" its from the nutcracker and also won them a Grammy. These guys, voicePlay and home free are truly the goats. Little fact tho, the bass avi left so now they have the new bass matt who i think you have already seen previously, but he left to look after his sick mum but has solo stuff. Check him out Avi kaplan "Change on the rise" is a good one to start with. Great reaction :)
Really happy to see you checked this one out. Its their first, of three, Grammy wins. All three were won in their earlier years. I think its logical to start from the earlier years so that you get to know the original members, see where they started and how they got where they are today. PTX won the season 3 of the tv singing competition the sing off which was the season before Home Free. The original basso profundo Avi Kaplan (pronounced Aahh Vee/guy with the beard) was featured in a Home Free video (Ring of Fire) and they know each other very well. Avi is my favorite. His range is crazy. He also studied classical and majored in opera. I always hear his warm lows and he has an amazing emotional tone in the higher baritone range. He also helps Kevin (beat boxer) with sounds such as overtones and whistles. The trio, Scott Hoying (the blonde baritone), Kirsten Maldonado(mezzo soprano) and Mitch Grassi (counter tenor) grew up together in Texas. Scott wanted to compete in the sing off and right before the competition they found Avi (through reputation and friend of a friend) then Kevin Olusola (beatboxer) from a you tube video. Kevin was about ready to do pre med at Yale. The video was Kevin playing the cello and beat boxing at the same time. He coined this as "cello boxing". Avi left the band in mid-late 2017 due to family illness and personal reasons. He left the band and his pals on good terms and even helped them find his replacement Matt Sallee. Avi now has a great solo career. All these members are exceptional and they bring a cappella to an entirely different level. They are magical. The PTX fans, Pentaholics, are the best. They will support you on your journey. I would suggest watching and reacting to covers such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Say Something and Can't Hold Us. They've also great originals such as Love Again and Run to you(both written by Avi and Kevin) and many more. Their second Grammy win was Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy its amazing too and the third win was a colab with Dolly Pardon of Jolene. Sorry this is so wordy but I hope its helpful. Thank you for your reaction. Looking forward to watching many more PTX reactions. ;)
Avi Kaplan (the bass) collaborated with Home Free in “Ring of Fire.” Definitely worth a listen if you haven’t already. Their original “Love Again” has this club vibe, and their video to “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” (yes, really!) is also outstanding. They have so many great songs, and the Pentaholics will definitely steer you in the right path. Great reaction. Daft Punk medley is one of my favourites. Avi’s solo work is also fabulous, and “Change on the Rise” should probably be your first sampling of his
Well, not quite. The $400 budget was for supplies on the shoot, including the contact lenses and the makeup. That didn't include the actual videography and editing costs by FifGen films. It was still a shoestring budget, but it was more than $400. The exact cost for the production has never been made public.
@@camillep3631It is true the Grammy is for the arrangement but consider this; no matter how good the arrangement is, if you do not have the group to properly deliver it it will never win a Grammy. So I see this as a collaborative award between the Arranger and Performers
Thanks for an enjoyable reaction! This was a Grammy winner for Pentatonix. Ben Bram and Ed Boyer are major influences in PTX videos, and the PTX members are heavily involved in the arrangements also.
Change On The Rise is not Avi's first solo work. You need to go back to his EP released under Avriel and The Sequoias in 2017, including Hey Ya, Quarter Past Four, and several other tracks, some of which he wrote. Change On The Rise is from his second EP I'll Get By, mostly original tracks. Both EPs are excellent and can't wait for his third one to drop.
Their most viewed video is Hallelujah. For something more recent ( with their ‘new’ bass Matt Sallee), check out Amazing Grace, Happy Now, Be My Eyes and their most recent 90’s Dance Melody. Everyone has side projects too.
@@bridgethaines7127 Commercial radio has a bias against a cappella groups. Personally, I think they've done just fine in their career without radio airplay. These days, most stuff on Top 40 radio is so awful that it's almost a compliment to NOT be included.
MITCH GRASSI (countertenor - vocal range 6 octaves and 1 tone, from A1 to B7) SCOTT HOYING (baritone - vocal range A1-C6) KIRSTIN MALDONADO (mezzo-soprano - vocal range D3 - A7) KEVIN OLUSOLA (beatboxer/tenor/cello - vocal range A1-F2-B♭5) 10/5/1988 LA CO., CA AVI KAPLIN (bass - vocal range E1-C♯5) Left band 2017 to be spend more time with family
Home Free with Avi Kaplan, the bass, here, have done Ring of Fire. You'll love that. Another like this one is Pentonix's original Love Again it's very clubby. They also do very pop styles and Christmas carols and Amazing Grace. A wide variety of styles. No idea if Daft Punk approved but I do know Brian May shared PTX's version of Bohemian Rhapsody, which is stunning.
@@jfifield20 all that I meant was that he’s not necessarily recognized in the typical beatboxing “community”. Financially, I completely agree with you.
I know it's hard to believe it's done without instrument's but it's true, there's a video of them in a green room auditioning to a table of judges and sound exactly like this video without the make up but live. Greenroom audition Daft punk Pentatonic's but Queen's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody is the best guitar solo dine with mega phone and sound's just like unreal.
This video is where I first fell in love with Kirsten's side-smile. Another good one that shows off their talent (because it's so basic) is "Evolution of Music".
Actually, I think they all work together on ideas. I personally like all their videos. Some are like this one, although it does stand out, and others are very different.
They have done several songs that you have reacted to other groups. Cheerleader, carol of the bells, can't help falling in love. Might be interesting to compare?
Oh boy! You going to be knocked off your feet when you through all their amazing material, covers and originals! Yeah, you should react to their beginners guide. It will answer a lot of your questions. They are just great. 🤗
There is a very short video of them receiving their first grammy for this. Check it out. There are also a couple of videos of their process of jamming and arranging in their younger days. Also check out "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix." I'm still pushing for you to react to 'Imagine'
@@HighlyCombustibleReacts Please don't check out "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix." Sorry Patricia, but it's just a spoiler reel and IMO ruins reactors' journey through PTX.
To answer your question if they've performed with Home Free, only Avi to my knowledge had a guest appearance on their video of Ring of Fire. Though theyve been together much longer, Home Free also won their season of the Sing Off in 2013 and competed against Voice Play.
Actually, Avi also "appeared" in Home Free's Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget. He doesn't sing in that video, but does "appear" three separate times. 1. the obvious photo bomb. 2. he sets the champagne glass on the table. and 3. he is sitting on the mechanical bull above Tim's shoulder at the end.
They filmed and produced this in Avi annd Kevins Closet and Kitchen for $400 and won their first Grammy for it they write and produce all their videos themselves and all accapella no instruments but kevin will bring out his Cello on a few songs and beat box too
People already spoke about their rangers but I did not hear anyone mention this Fact about avi. He is a basso profundo Which is the lowest of the low in range. He has blown out speakers. If you like this particular setup I recommend Love again wenches in original. I'm not sure what all you've done of them but hallelujah, amazing grace, imagine are all really good Videos to cut your Keep on. In imagine the harmonies are out of this world and you will see what they mean when they talk about the wall of sound. Mary did you know also has the harmonies. Avii left the group in 2017 for personal reasons, on good terms and helped the find his replacement Matt Sallee, check out change on the rise.
The bass singer in this video, Avi, has an insanely low range (he left in 2017). He has been known to break speakers at concerts. Once you've gotten more familiar with the group, you should watch Aha live at the Star Vista. It is considered one PTX's best live performances. Mitch was on his A game and popped off and Avi sings so low you can hear the speakers breaking.
I’m just wondering how they do this live. This obviously required a lot mixing and production. I read below where this was made in their home. I wouldn’t mind living next door if that’s true.
There's a video of them doing this live as a sort of backstage private performance, and despite the fact that they don't even have mics (so you lose some of the bass and beatboxing) it sounds *remarkably* like this version.
I have Sub'd I am here for PTX. I am sharing this on Facebook Group Pentaholics (yes that is what we the fab club, call ourselves). I think you should do Love Again it is one of their originals and is filmed/makeup in a similar vane. Also, if you really want to get to know PTX and their origin story, watch (and React) to their performances on the Sing Off Season 3, that is where the got their start as a group. If you do react to these, please also react to the judges comments. YOU WILL LOVE IT. Also, I beleive Home Free won season 4 of the Sing Off, and there was one episodes where PTX came on to mentor them.
It's not really better or worse than the original. That's not the idea. It is a celebration of their appreciation of Daft Punk's work. So they made a more "singing" style medley of 7 or so Daft Punk songs. Daft Punk's work is quite a bit more electronic and also the songs would be longer with much slower build-up to support dance clubs where people want to get in a groove and keep dancing. This is more of a mad cliff notes summary blitz compilation. That is not a put down at all. It is wonderful. It has also been described as a creative DJ mix of Daft Punk songs, then sung by Pentatonix. The technical composition work is amazing to match or transition the keys and tempos. So they won a Grammy for the composition itself. Pentatonix and Home Free do know each other. They both won the Sing Off, but on different years. There are YT videos of them interacting at the Sing Off where I believe Pentatonix were the returning champions. They've done some cross training with voice techniques to help advance each other's development (harmonic overtones, bass subharmonics and such). Avi guested with them on their Ring Of Fire, which most reviewers comment as being too short - that's a good sign.
Avi and Tim Foust became close friends after that encounter on The Sing Off, which led to Avi's guest appearance on Ring of Fire and why Avi makes non-singing cameo appearances in several Home Free videos. Avi and Tim now both live in the Nashville area as well.
If you want to continue to react to Pentatonix (PTX), check out the video "The Beginners Guide to Pentatonix". It will fill you in on their history, who they are, and what they are about.
Avi's range as a Bass gets lower with age. The last I saw was C1-Eb5. I have heard thag the C1 was debated but definitely D1. Here is a link to his vocal range check out that C1 for yourself. ruclips.net/video/xAT73Ctld9o/видео.html
Avi was still several years away from leaving Pentatonix when he recorded with Home Free. He has not performed with them again since leaving the group, but still remains good friends with Tim Foust.
I don't know why so many people are requesting that you react to the Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix video. The video includes clips from all of the videos you will be potentially reacting to on this channel. In my opinion, that video completely spoils reactors on PTX.
I think it's better to react to one song at a time and learn the history as people comment on your videos. There are always people happy to tell the story. You don't need it all to be condensed into a 15 minute video.

It was so cool to see. Also, they won their first Grammy with this arrangement.
That's so cool! Is there a video of that?
That’s my question too!
ME TOO!!!
Enjoy the trip down the PTX hole!!😃they are beyond FANTASTIC!!so happy your reacting to them now.😄✌
Yes, they all share the spotlight....
You can't say better than the original since this is an original medley of 7 Daft Punk songs arranged by Pentatonix. There is no other version.
They're the OG of a cappella. They've been making music for 10 year's
They won a Grammy for this.....your journey will suck you in.......welcome to their world and now your world. They all can sing..I would recommend Bohemian Rhapsody. That was my first. I’m a huge Queen fan so that’s why I clicked on their channel...we are call Pentaholic’s a huge fan based. We are loyal and fierce.....They have a 10 year catalog. Enjoy your journey....we will all help you along the way.....Judy D from NY State..I always subscribe to new reactors who discover PTX...
This is the first of their 3 Grammys. The other two were for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and Jolene with Dolly Parton.
Definitely in my top 5 PTX, together with 'Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy', 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'The Sound of Silence'!
They are in a different level. They worked really hard to get there, and some good luck on their side didn't hurt at all!
Nowadays, they have a whole troupe of brilliant people behind them. They really made it!
Considering this is a mashup of seven Daft Punk songs, I definitely listen to this medley way more than I listen to each individual original song.

They found Avi Kaplan through a friend.
Avi Kaplan bass, left the group in 2017 because the tour schedule was too hectic and he wanted to spend more time with his family.
They found Kevin on youtube video of him demonstrating cello-boxing.
Kevin Olusola beatboxer, tenor, cellist. Kevin was in pre med at Yale. He speaks fluent Mandarin.
They met up in L.A. ONE day before the audition for The Sing Off.
They won the sing off in 2011.
End of 2017 Matt Sallee became their bass replacing Avi.
Matt Sallee bass, newest member who has amazing range and is always smiling.
They have original music also that is incredible.
Daft Punk won Grammy #1
Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy won Grammy #2
Jolene with Dolly Parton won Grammy #3.
They have 11 albums, (I believe) HUNDREDS of videos, and songs on RUclips to listen to.
That's just the tip of the iceberg...
WOW great info thanks!
Mitch is actually a contra-tenor, so he can hit those high notes with little or no effort.
They all can sing and do sing lead.
The girl Kirsten Maldonado is a mezzosoprano. Mitch Grassi (dark hair, small beard) is a countertenor, he has about the same range as Kirsty.

He left the group in 2016 and was replaced by Matt Sallee. You might think that there had been more changes in the line up, but Kirsty and Mitch change their looks very frequently.
Mitch and Scott have their own project together called Superfruit. You will find them on their YT-channel. Kevin has also his own channel.
SUPERFRUIT has amazing videos also. They released an album in 2017 and made a music video for every song except for one.
Highly suggest Superfruit reactions.
Only correction to this, Avi left in September 2017 and Matt joined in March 2018 (he was on the Christmas 2017 tour as a "special guest bass").
They actually filmed this for 400 dollars in Avi's closed (The bass) and this won them a Grammy . They are amazing, I suggest you check out "dance of the sugar plum fairy" its from the nutcracker and also won them a Grammy. These guys, voicePlay and home free are truly the goats.
Little fact tho, the bass avi left so now they have the new bass matt who i think you have already seen previously, but he left to look after his sick mum but has solo stuff. Check him out Avi kaplan "Change on the rise" is a good one to start with.

You must see Amazing Grace. If Haleluia moved you, Amazing Grace will bring tears. It's angelic.
Now that you have experienced Avi Kaplan, the bass in this video, pleeeeeaaaaassssse react to his first solo work "Change on the Rise"
Change On The Rise is not Avi's first solo work. You need to go back to his EP released under Avriel and The Sequoias in 2017, including Hey Ya, Quarter Past Four, and several other tracks, some of which he wrote. Change On The Rise is from his second EP I'll Get By, mostly original tracks. Both EPs are excellent and can't wait for his third one to drop.
@@gingerjohnson1095 Thank you for correcting me. You are completely right, I just forgot about his time with the Sequoias.

I just watched all of your Homefree reactions and I think you'll really like Pentatonix's Amazing Grace video. It's so powerful!
I love everything they do! If you want an example of Mitch Glassi's(the high voice)range check out his new cover of "Your Power". It's amazing.
I follow them all and Pentatonix is in a league of their own!!!!! Kevin, the beatboxer could give any pro beatboxer a run for their $.
ummm I would call Kevin a professional beat boxer. He probably makes more money than any other "pro beatboxer"
@@jfifield20 all that I meant was that he’s not necessarily recognized in the typical beatboxing “community”. Financially, I completely agree with you.

The megaphone is just a prop, when they perform it live he doesn't use one, he makes that sound himself, it's mind blowing
Love Again is an awesome original with a great video!!!

im absolutely listening more to the PTX version... but hey im bias.. :-)
I'm waiting for you to react to The Prayer and Bohemiem Rhapsody.
Oh boy! You going to be knocked off your feet when you through all their amazing material, covers and originals! Yeah, you should react to their beginners guide. It will answer a lot of your questions. They are just great. 🤗

@@HighlyCombustibleReacts Please don't check out "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix." Sorry Patricia, but it's just a spoiler reel and IMO ruins reactors' journey through PTX.
You should check out Avi Kaplan "Change on the Rise"
To answer your question if they've performed with Home Free, only Avi to my knowledge had a guest appearance on their video of Ring of Fire.
Though theyve been together much longer, Home Free also won their season of the Sing Off in 2013 and competed against Voice Play.
Actually, Avi also "appeared" in Home Free's Champagne Taste On A Beer Budget. He doesn't sing in that video, but does "appear" three separate times. 1. the obvious photo bomb. 2. he sets the champagne glass on the table. and 3. he is sitting on the mechanical bull above Tim's shoulder at the end.
I was aware, just forgot which video it was, thank you. Also, it was more cameo instead of featured.
They filmed and produced this in Avi annd Kevins Closet and Kitchen for $400 and won their first Grammy for it they write and produce all their videos themselves and all accapella no instruments but kevin will bring out his Cello on a few songs and beat box too
People already spoke about their rangers but I did not hear anyone mention this Fact about avi. He is a basso profundo Which is the lowest of the low in range. He has blown out speakers. If you like this particular setup I recommend Love again wenches in original.

In imagine the harmonies are out of this world and you will see what they mean when they talk about the wall of sound. Mary did you know also has the harmonies. Avii left the group in 2017 for personal reasons, on good terms and helped the find his replacement Matt Sallee, check out change on the rise.
They won a Grammy award for this video
No not the video, the arrangement
Like possitive, check their original 'Happy Now'
Can You Feel The Love Tonight is beautiful.
They do...
If you like their club-type stuff, check out their original, "Love Again."
Please react to Run to You, an original by Kevin and Avi mostly. It is truly one of the most beautiful songs!❤️❤️❤️
Won a Grammy!
The bass singer in this video, Avi, has an insanely low range (he left in 2017). He has been known to break speakers at concerts. Once you've gotten more familiar with the group, you should watch Aha live at the Star Vista. It is considered one PTX's best live performances. Mitch was on his A game and popped off and Avi sings so low you can hear the speakers breaking.
It’s a bit sad that Daft Punk split up. My favorite is their Discovery album. 😊
Yeah, I was sorry to hear about that, especially after being together for so long.
I would love to react to bohemian rhapsody, mad world, sing (original for there fans),imagine and love again. Thank you I love your work.
Try their original "Love Again" - another great club tune.
For a really good dance club song, PTX did an original song called Love Again.
I’m just wondering how they do this live. This obviously required a lot mixing and production. I read below where this was made in their home. I wouldn’t mind living next door if that’s true.
There's a video of them doing this live as a sort of backstage private performance, and despite the fact that they don't even have mics (so you lose some of the bass and beatboxing) it sounds *remarkably* like this version.
No, not post production tricks, see their Hollywood Bowl performance last November, it sounds exactly like this
The original can’t touch this. Kristen, Scott and Mitch went to High School together at Arlington-Martin High School in Arlington, Texas.
Try with original song Pentatonix(PTX for short) "Love Again" 🤯
Kevin, the beatboxer, couldn't join the others with the contacts, they irritated his eyes so the cool glasses became his look instead.
Come along and Papaoutai are bangers also
I have Sub'd I am here for PTX. I am sharing this on Facebook Group Pentaholics (yes that is what we the fab club, call ourselves). I think you should do Love Again it is one of their originals and is filmed/makeup in a similar vane. Also, if you really want to get to know PTX and their origin story, watch (and React) to their performances on the Sing Off Season 3, that is where the got their start as a group. If you do react to these, please also react to the judges comments. YOU WILL LOVE IT. Also, I beleive Home Free won season 4 of the Sing Off, and there was one episodes where PTX came on to mentor them.
It's not really better or worse than the original. That's not the idea. It is a celebration of their appreciation of Daft Punk's work.
So they made a more "singing" style medley of 7 or so Daft Punk songs. Daft Punk's work is quite a bit more electronic and also the songs would be longer with much slower build-up to support dance clubs where people want to get in a groove and keep dancing.
This is more of a mad cliff notes summary blitz compilation. That is not a put down at all. It is wonderful.
It has also been described as a creative DJ mix of Daft Punk songs, then sung by Pentatonix. The technical composition work is amazing to match or transition the keys and tempos. So they won a Grammy for the composition itself.
Pentatonix and Home Free do know each other. They both won the Sing Off, but on different years. There are YT videos of them interacting at the Sing Off where I believe Pentatonix were the returning champions. They've done some cross training with voice techniques to help advance each other's development (harmonic overtones, bass subharmonics and such). Avi guested with them on their Ring Of Fire, which most reviewers comment as being too short - that's a good sign.
Avi and Tim Foust became close friends after that encounter on The Sing Off, which led to Avi's guest appearance on Ring of Fire and why Avi makes non-singing cameo appearances in several Home Free videos. Avi and Tim now both live in the Nashville area as well.
If you want to continue to react to Pentatonix (PTX), check out the video "The Beginners Guide to Pentatonix". It will fill you in on their history, who they are, and what they are about.
Avi's range as a Bass gets lower with age. The last I saw was C1-Eb5. I have heard thag the C1 was debated but definitely D1. Here is a link to his vocal range check out that C1 for yourself. ruclips.net/video/xAT73Ctld9o/видео.html
hello , loved your reaction .... have u seen the Pentatonix - Can´t hold us ?? also very interesting =)
First Grammy
Avi has done some songs with Home Free after he left.
He is base
Avi was still several years away from leaving Pentatonix when he recorded with Home Free. He has not performed with them again since leaving the group, but still remains good friends with Tim Foust.
Please watch Beginners Guide to Pentatonix.
You will learn everything about the group.
Better!!!
I don't know why so many people are requesting that you react to the Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix video. The video includes clips from all of the videos you will be potentially reacting to on this channel. In my opinion, that video completely spoils reactors on PTX.
I think it's better to react to one song at a time and learn the history as people comment on your videos. There are always people happy to tell the story. You don't need it all to be condensed into a 15 minute video.
We definitely don't do spoilers around here! I appreciate the heads up!
It's far better than the original. The original sounds a little tone-deaf compared with this 😀
the video was recorded in a small closet...it's true
You lost the beard. That's tragic. ;-)
PTX is better than the original.
