It's Mitch's smile at the end that gets me too - he knew he just owned that performance - what a wonderful experience to have been there that night....
Thank you for hearing Kevin. A lot of people don't. Kevin does quite a lot in this song. Here is a good view of him. This is how the song was originally rehearsed: ruclips.net/video/8r3B9j2WF0k/видео.html The backstory for the Star Vista performance is Mitch was jet lagged and drank two Red Bulls. I have no direct knowledge of this but I find the story to be credible. Mitch can be seen in multiple videos drinking Red Bull and once commented that he had had a Red Bull and two cups of coffee. He (use to) overload on these things. Kirstin has commented that they all asked for Red Bulls to be in their dressing rooms when they arrive. If you watch the earlier songs from this performance he can be seen jumping up and down. I can believe he drank two of the Red Bulls that were in front of him. I'm going to add a note of caution to Mrs Rock Solid being present. There was one reactor who was just getting going, and doing a good job of it. Then he brought his wife/girlfriend/whoever into it. She started, to use her words, "hating on" Mitch. That didn't go over well with us Pentaholics. The guy lost a bunch of subscribers. PTX did record "Take on Me" by Aha. No video just audio. Mitch hits the lowest note I've ever heard him sing.
Very cool M MG, I appreciate the caution but I don’t think it will be a permanent thing for her, I just thought every once in a while having her on would be fun!
This man never fails to amaze me with his power... and Kevin was putting away his cello, which was why they did the intro before the song- to give him time. You can see everyone move over to make room for him.
I keep begging them to rename this "KEVIN IS THERE!". You will never know how many times one of us has written this - Kevin was offstage for the choral part putting away his cello from the prior song. During Avi's bass solo, Mitch moved to center stage, Scott followed and Kevin came onstage at the far right. He is there for all of Aha!, but unfortunately, the video never shows him - not even an elbow! So we have to explain this every time. Anyway, you can hear his crazy beats, whooshes, rattles, and this could not be done without him. Also, the opening piece was brought to the group by Avi, something he had performed in a prior group, to give Kevin a chance to get back onstage. Thanks for the great reaction.
Very cool RLH CAT, what an amazing way to intro the song, yeah, Kevin’s part is unmistakable and the whole thing just would not sound right without him! Thanks for watching!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 As many probably said, this song is named Aha!, and it was originally done by a British singer named Imogene Heap, who is a favorite of Mitch. PTX did do a cover of the song you mentioned - Take Me On, which was done by a group called A-ha. It is very confusing! Their cover of Take Me On has Mitch in the lead, and he kills it. He sings those high notes like he's out walking the dog.
"I wasn't ready for it. I still wasn't ready, you guys said I was ready, I wasn't ready. Nope. Nope, nope nope!" LOVES your reaction RS! So friggin' funny. In your defense, no one is ready for this performance. Especially if you've seen the official PTX video first. This live version is so raw and passionate. I do also love the official video. It's so fun! You should check it out on your own time now that you've reacted to the Blow Your Mind performance! ;)
Great reaction. Love the fact that you we're so flabbergasted you we're having trouble putting sentences together. And yes we would like to meet Mrs Rock Solid.
Suggestion for you and the Mrs. to react to...La La Latch (PTX obviously) ☺️. My favorite of their catalog. You will really see how short Kirstie is in that one lol
Kevin did a cello solo immediately prior to this so he left the sage briefly to put Beyonce to bed and then returned to the stage on the right but the person with the camera didn't catch it. You can hear the sounds, though, unmistakeable... the piece that leads in to the song is Christus Factus Est, suggested by Avi
If you re-watch the video, right after the camera shows the whole stage, once they start zooming in on Avi you can see Mitch turn and begin moving closer to Kirstin to allow room for Kevin onstage.
This is my all time favourite video to watch people react to. 😁 I also just love the grin Mitch has at the very end ☺️ I would love to see Mrs Rock Solid in a video!!
Bring her onto the vids! My suggestion for her 1st PTX experience is one of Daft Punk, Imagine, Hallelujah, or Sound of Silence. PS - A-ha was a group, yes, but nothing to do with this. This is a cover of a song called "Aha!" by Imogen Heap.
If you watch the official video, studio version, there is overtone singing from Avi. The beginning chorale was worked up by Avi to give Kevin time to put his cello away. Tasty bits from live performances.
I enjoy your reactions. You may have heard his overtones and did not recognize them for what they were. He did it several times on the Sing Off, and the judges never mentioned it. I don't thi k they knew what it was.😊
Kevin was putting away his cello, Beyonce, at the beginning, but you can see Scott move to a different position when Kevin returns. You can certainly hear him.
Just thought of the song you and the Misses should react to. Sing! It is an original, very catchy song and it showcases their talents so well. And you get to hear KO rap a bit. Plus their fans are part of the video.
Yes, Mrs RSR should definitely be in one of your videos if she’s comfortable doing it. Sing would be a great, fun one, and it’s an original, as is Run to You. Gold is a cover but is done live, as are their Evolution of.... songs.
Everybody's been telling you how Kevin was backstage putting away his cello at the beginning of this one. But I hear there's more to the story as well. Apparently during Kevin's cello solo in the previous song, the rest of the group was backstage taking a little break. Mitch was suffering from jet lag and downed two Red Bulls. With the group back on stage, and right after Avi almost shredded the theater's sound system (and Kevin came back onstage, not seen on camera), Mitch's Red Bulls kicked in. He proceeded to go INSANE during the song, Avi continued joyously blowing the speakers out in the background, and what followed was what most Pentaholics now consider the best live performance of their career!! And that's why you get so many requests for this one. The heights I've heard are Scott 6'4", Kevin & Matt both 6'2", Avi 5'10", Mitch 5'9" and tiny Kirstie is 5'2". There's a hilarious behind the scenes video of Avi bench pressing Kirstie because he didn't have his weights with him!! The name of this song is "Aha", but they actually DO have a cover of A-ha's "Take On Me"!
There's also a video of them performing telephone which they try to enter The Sing-Off with just the trio with that song. It's at the same place right after aha and it's incredible
There's the eyeballs rolling back in your head ha! You've been thoroughly Mitched! Really love your reaction to this. Kevin was there, the person taking the video was just focused mostly on Mitch. Mrs. RSR- We need a video with you! I would love to meet the lady that makes Mr. RSR's voice get all giggly and his eyes turn into the heart-eyes😍 emoji when he speaks of her! C'mon now!
You play this video and we will all watch! LOL Pentaholics are addicted to this video. I would have been so stoked to be at this concert - what a momentous experience! You should watch the official video too just so you can see it as well and it is entertaining. Your wife should DEFINITELY be in a video if it is something she would enjoy doing!
I agree Mel, and I see why lol, it’s phenomenal. I think it will be something she enjoys but not going to put any pressure on her either, it’s supposed to be fun not intimidating and stressful lol! Thanks for watching!
Yeah the person filming (probably just with their phone, hence the quality of the video), was mainly focused on Mitch. Kevin came back in on the far right but they never panned out again after Mitch started.
As Jenna said, Kevin was stashing his cello. He always has a cello segment in their concerts both to show off his talents and to give the rest a bit of a break. The choral piece is Christus Factus Est, and if you watch their documentary, it opens with them working out how to use it as the opener for Aha. I was already a fan of the original song by Imogen Heap and was delighted when it showed up on their first EP, but this particular live performance blows the recorded one out of the water. You can tell the video recorder is a big Mitch fan!
I want to go to one of the concerts so badly haha, thanks for all the info, and 💯 the person taking the video loves Mitch just like we all do, thanks for watching Kathy!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 You have to go if you ever have the chance. I’ve been to three of their concerts. The last one was in 2019 and had Scott’s group Citizen Queen and Rachel Platten as openers. It was freaking amazing. I’ve seen two with Avi and one with Matt and while I definitely love Avi’s butter tones, Matt was awesome too. You won’t be sorry! The last one I was lucky to be able to see them in Green Bay and only had to drive 5 miles from home to do so.
@@charlottevan_8 Il’s called On My Way Home, but I don’t know where it’s streaming right now. Netflix used to have it, but no more. Amazon Prime has it for rent, but you have to pay $3.99.
So fun. No one is ever truly ready for this video, which is part of why pentaholics like to throw it at new reactors. A trial by fire sort of deal. 😂 We’d love to see your wife join you for some reactions. PTX members heights: Scott 6’4”, Kevin 6’3”, Matt 6’, Avi 5’11”, Mitch 5’10”, and Kirstin 5’4”. Which is why Kirstie is almost always wearing high heels when performing with the guys (and still barely comes to Mitch’s shoulder).
Love your reaction to AVI ... knowing he will go low and hear him are two different things. 😂 One is never prepared enough 😀. Your reactions to Mitch’s dance and going to the floor and his high notes are great. I absolutely love Mitch’s mischievous smile. And AVI did blow a speaker or two during this song lol
@@rocksolidreactions3901 check out PTX natural disaster song live and I think 🤔 there is one live of hit the road jack where you can hear AVI abusing the speakers... on the hit the road jack song AVI hits his low and Kevin runs after AVI on stage ... it is a sight to see
I only just noticed you still have your tree and lights up! We kept our outside lights up cause Ireland is so dreary in the Winter and this Winter seems even longer as we’re in a stricter lockdown now😩. Love all your PTX reactions btw. Could you persuade your better half to react to ‘Sing’ with you?
That song has definitely come up a fair bit, it will definitely be a contender for sure. I have been to Ireland quite a few times, beautiful there, thanks for watching F McM!
Oh! I'd love to see Ireland someday. Mr. RSR went before we were married. The tree still being up is totally me... I'm in charge of the decor. I got all the Christmas ornaments off, so now it just counts as part of the winter decor, right? lol - Mrs. RockSolidReactions
Thanks so much, great reactions ! This is spectacular ! Mind-blowing sound ! PTX rocks every type of song they choose. Yes, we'd love your wife's reactions! She loves PTX ! YES !
Kirsti is 5''4" and says that she wears the heels and / or platforms on stage because otherwise she feels like a munchkin next to Scott (6''3") Mitch (5'10") and Kevin (5'11")...
Internet sources say Avi Kaplin 5'11", Kevin O 5'11" and Matt Sallee 5'9".... I'm confused by this. Goolgle is either Wrong, or there are a lot of platforms being worn. Not that it's wrong. LOVES them all anyway!!! xoxox
Lots of great vocal acrobatics going on here! Listen to Avi while Mitch is crawling on the floor, because I believe he really is melting out the sound system at that point. And Mitch’s vocal control is amazing. The vocal coach Tara Simon really goes into detail over how he is using his mouth to shape the sound to perfection on that last high note. She’s a big Mitch fan, so her reaction to this performance is fun to watch. (Her reaction to Avi in their Silent Night cracks me up!)
Mrs. RSR - we would love to meet you! Please come and join the PTX Reactions Squad! Mr. RSR - you did the Mitch face! This video is an example of Avi blowing out speakers. It speaks to the groups professionalism that they carried on and did not let the technical problems get in the way of the amazingness. Mitch was on a different level in this particular show, and he knew it when he gave that tiny grin at the end. Mitch always seems so tiny because he used to be always standing beside Scott, and even when wearing heels, he's always shorter than Scott.
Your wife definitely needs to be in and see one of these videos with you. I would recommend their original song Sing or their cover of Rather Be or Cheerleader- all are definitely underrated...and can we just say...MITCH!!!!!!Great reaction as always!
One vote for your wife. And if you watch some of the reactions from actual singing coaches about this performance, they also have the same drop jawed reactions. What he's making look easy is incredibly hard, which shows just how incredible a voice he has. He's not from around here, and the Angels come down to take lessons on hitting those high notes. The Devil tried to make a deal at the crossroads, but, as with Stevie Ray Vaughan, was just left there crying.
Sooo Mitch was feeling it that night, there are two other videos from that concert (same person uploaded) where he also has some moments. Break Free/See Through and Telephone... definitely worth checking out 👍
Yes, yes, yes! Would love to see your wife join you on a reaction video! Everybody comment yes below so that we can get her to join in on a video. As for a song to watch I think an appropriate one would be “Can’t Help Falling In Love”.
Absolutely have your wife react to the ptx song that blew your mind. Watching her discover them for the first time you will understand why people love watching you react and discover something we enjoy.
Yes please! I'd love to see your wife and her reaction to a PTX song! There is always room for another Pentaholic :-) I hope she can share this journey with you and us.
Mrs. RSR, please join your hubby in a video... or 2... or permanently! 😉 Great reaction! I think this was the video that convinced me that Mitch is my favorite male vocalist ever and tied at the top with Celine Dion for all-time favorite. Also, he is so stinkin' cute!
Hi Jennifer! Everybody comments about how Mr. RSR has such an expressive face.... well, I have no control over my expressions whatsoever! 🤪😆😳 It'll sure be interesting!
Please react to their Popspring live performance, Come Along cover, Can you feel the love tonight cover, Evolution of Ariana Grande, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Evolution of Beyonce We would loved to see your wife reacting to Pentatonix 😊
The lead-in piece is "Christus Factus Est", which Avi sang with his college chamber choir, hence why it was his idea to use it. If you want to see very young Avi performing it with said chamber choir, here ya go (that's him in the back row with the bushy hair and mini beard, about 1/3 of the way from the left). ruclips.net/video/BIn-wM5sVM0/видео.html
Ah Mitch on the floor just kills me lol, you know that front row was thrilled, I'd have died. they did a cover of Take On Me by AHA its audio-only if you want to react to it here's the link ruclips.net/video/768uJ5yZidQ/видео.html
Just to let you know the audio version of their new song " the lucky ones" off their new upcoming album is available on here to listen too as usual AMAZING have a listen love keep safe and best wishes
I know most people focus, deservedly so, on Mitch in this song. However, I think Scott and Kirstie’s parts are probably the most difficult rhythmically speaking. In fact, I feel their’s is probably the hardest. You can see how much they are moving their hands to the rhythm they each need to hit- and they’re opposite eachother. If they aren’t 100% in sync with eachother- Mitch’s part wouldn’t even be needed since the whole song would fall apart
Yes please have Mrs Rock Solid Reactions---I would love to see her reaction to this video. You both would love PTX The Prayer, Gold, Hallelujah from their Christmas special Live for TV, the Wizard tribute, the Wizard of Ahhhs with Toddrick Hall the list goes on, but you can start there. Enjoy!
Mitch's high notes here are mind blowing. His control is equally amazing. This song is actually called Aha by Imogen Heap. They did do a cover of Take on Me by Aha though. 😉 Hoping to see your wife in a future reaction. Btw did you ever check out Kevin's cover of Bach's Prelude?
While this one wasn’t one of my favorites they are still mighty impressive in it. Of course we’d like to see your other half in a PTX reaction. Can’t Hold Us is another one of their early videos and shows they have rapping skills too.
Thanks for your reaction. This is a must see performance for everyone. That being said, I'm one of the few people that prefer the official video to this one. If you're more into the performance this is the version for you but if you're one that likes to understand the lyrics more, I'd say the official video will be your favorite of the 2.
Mrs. Rock Solid Reactions please!!! Maybe do the studio version of this one!!! I would have suggested you do that one 1st, but I think I am in the minority on that! Lol!!!!
Now that you’ve been awed by the epic live performance...just for your own edification, and to truely appreciate Avi and Kevin (not to mention Kirstie and Scott) contributions watch ruclips.net/video/8r3B9j2WF0k/видео.html the livestream video of this song, gives clearer coverage of everybody.
By all means Mrs Rock Solid should make an appearance and it should be to you both reacting to Pentatonix doing their rendition of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. I do not believe you have reacted to that one yet❣️
Kevin was there but he was putting his cello away at the start. I’ve said before, the Diva hit the top note and gave us all time to appreciate it! The song is called Aha, it’s not by AHA. 😂👏🏻 I knew you would love this!.
So glad you posted this! I am totally cracking up! Tell him who the original artist was babe! (Imogen Heap - Aha!) I actually love listening to her version too. However it makes me admire Mitch even more. I sincerely love Jennifer Heap's version, but PTX always seems to bring everything up another level. Am I wrong? ;) xo ruclips.net/video/m55-_3TCE4M/видео.html
I don't think anyone's ever ready for this performance, but if you've been familiarized with the mitch-slap you're not going to be blasted FULLY out of orbit by the mitch-PUNCH. ALso I was tickled by "they're gonna blow up the sound system at this place" bc (as I"m sure many people have told you lol) Avi absolutely DID bust the speakers, which is why the latter half of the song is extra fuzzy/buzzy
First off, having your wife on the channel would be great if she's comfortable with it. 😊👍🏼 Secondly, the arrangement in their cover of Aha! Is amazing. Maybe you could react to their music video? Also they did a cover of "take on me" by the band aha. It doesn't have a music video, but it's great and really fun to listen to.
Scott’s the giant at 6’4” (he would be taller, except he has scoliosis). Kevin is 6’1”. Mitch and Avi are the same height at 5’10” (but Mitch often wears platforms to give him some extra height). Kirstin is about 5’4”, which is average for a woman but just a lot shorter than everybody else around her, so she always wears heels that are sky-high.
Mrs Rock Solid need to join! Any PTX song works, especially for newbies. Avi blows speakers in another video of this. If you Google Avi Kaplan blows speakers/Hit The Road Jack. This song is AMAZING live...they all are though.
One is never ready for "Aha!".
There are three great lies in this world: "I'm okay", "It won't happen to me", and "You're ready for Aha! at the Star Vista" 🤣
It's Mitch's smile at the end that gets me too - he knew he just owned that performance - what a wonderful experience to have been there that night....
I agree, super jealous of everyone there Tania, thanks for watching!
Avi's lows and Mitch's highs!!!
Thank you for hearing Kevin. A lot of people don't. Kevin does quite a lot in this song. Here is a good view of him. This is how the song was originally rehearsed: ruclips.net/video/8r3B9j2WF0k/видео.html
The backstory for the Star Vista performance is Mitch was jet lagged and drank two Red Bulls. I have no direct knowledge of this but I find the story to be credible. Mitch can be seen in multiple videos drinking Red Bull and once commented that he had had a Red Bull and two cups of coffee. He (use to) overload on these things. Kirstin has commented that they all asked for Red Bulls to be in their dressing rooms when they arrive. If you watch the earlier songs from this performance he can be seen jumping up and down. I can believe he drank two of the Red Bulls that were in front of him.
I'm going to add a note of caution to Mrs Rock Solid being present. There was one reactor who was just getting going, and doing a good job of it. Then he brought his wife/girlfriend/whoever into it.

Haha thanks Jennifer, I saw that video, I am staying away at least for now just in case I do a reaction to it, but I have no doubt it is amazing!
There's another fan video of this song done from a different venue and performance where Avi literally blew out the bass speakers...
I have heard he has blown speakers before, I can’t even imagine being there lol!
I just added a comment about a video where he blows the speakers before I saw this comment.
if your wife wants to join, we'd love to see her! It would be neat to see her react to some of your faves :)
Yes! Mrs Rock Solid needs be on camera! She should react to a video of her choice.
Yes, please Mrs. Rock Solid, join us!! I don't care which one, we'll be glad to meet you :-)
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
I'm excited!
- Mrs. RockSolidReactions
Great reaction. Please react together with your Mrs on Pentatonix; am sure she'll have a blast.
They have done Take on Me ... it's on their classics album and it's a Mitch lead.
I will have to check that out, thanks!
What I love the most about this performance is that you can tell Mitch was having FUN.
I agree Lynn, I also think he knew he killed it which is a rewarding thing I should think, thanks for watching!
(Sorry, one more comment)...AHA is the name of the song, not the artist from the 80’s. It’s a Imogene Heap cover ☺️
Looking forward to Mrs. Rock joining in!
Me too Janet, thanks for watching!
Hahaha! WOW! MITCH! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
BTW Yes! It would be great to see you & your wife here :)
Thanks Harlem, I really appreciate it!
Great reaction. Love the fact that you we're so flabbergasted you we're having trouble putting sentences together. And yes we would like to meet Mrs Rock Solid.
Love to watch your reactions
Love this video...Mitch is Super Human!
Of course your wife needs to be on here with you. I went ahead and subscribed so I wouldn't miss y'all!
Thank you so much Debbie, we have more than enough comments now, she will definitely be joining me in the very near future! Thanks again!
Suggestion for you and the Mrs. to react to...La La Latch (PTX obviously) ☺️. My favorite of their catalog. You will really see how short Kirstie is in that one lol
I would like to see yourself and Mrs. Rock Solid Reactions react to La Latch too! 😊 🎉
I will run it by her for sure, probably going to let her pick, thanks Michelle for the suggestion!
Kevin did a cello solo immediately prior to this so he left the sage briefly to put Beyonce to bed and then returned to the stage on the right but the person with the camera didn't catch it. You can hear the sounds, though, unmistakeable... the piece that leads in to the song is Christus Factus Est, suggested by Avi
I agree Kirk, it is 💯 unmistakable, and an amazing suggestion it was by avi! Thanks for everything!
Mitch was on fire that night. And Mrs. Rock Solid should definitely join you for a reaction.
If you re-watch the video, right after the camera shows the whole stage, once they start zooming in on Avi you can see Mitch turn and begin moving closer to Kirstin to allow room for Kevin onstage.
This is my all time favourite video to watch people react to. 😁 I also just love the grin Mitch has at the very end ☺️
I would love to see Mrs Rock Solid in a video!!
That little smirk is perfect Spaceydoodle, thanks for watching and helping me get the Mrs. on here with me!
Bring her onto the vids! My suggestion for her 1st PTX experience is one of Daft Punk, Imagine, Hallelujah, or Sound of Silence.
PS - A-ha was a group, yes, but nothing to do with this. This is a cover of a song called "Aha!" by Imogen Heap.
There were too many aha’s Scott lol, thanks for watching!
Looking forward to Mrs. Rock Solid Reactions joining you. So excited for you to see this. Definitely a PTX for you to do together
If you watch the official video, studio version, there is overtone singing from Avi.
The beginning chorale was worked up by Avi to give Kevin time to put his cello away.
Tasty bits from live performances.
I heard Avi can do overtone singing, I haven’t heard it yet but I look forward to it when I do, thanks for watching Ellen!

I think that is going to happen Kathy, thanks for watching!

The name of this song is "Aha", but they actually DO have a cover of A-ha's "Take On Me"!
pentatonix are amazing they are the best accapella band ever.
There are about a dozen songs from this same concert by the same poster. They are all great and you'll see, Mitch was especially Mitchy that night.
Lol an excellent description, and anyone who is a fan knows exactly what you are talking about!
Yes Mrs Rock Solid reactions should be in the video. A Pentatonix video that neither of you have seen.
There's also a video of them performing telephone which they try to enter The Sing-Off with just the trio with that song. It's at the same place right after aha and it's incredible
I will have to check that out Aundrea, thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
There's the eyeballs rolling back in your head ha! You've been thoroughly Mitched! Really love your reaction to this. Kevin was there, the person taking the video was just focused mostly on Mitch. Mrs. RSR- We need a video with you! I would love to meet the lady that makes Mr. RSR's voice get all giggly and his eyes turn into the heart-eyes😍 emoji when he speaks of her! C'mon now!
Oh, forgot to add my request. Same one as always. Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair by Peter Hollens and Avi.
Haha, I can’t help it Lisa, it’s involuntary lol, we are well on the way to getting her here, thanks for everything!
You play this video and we will all watch! LOL Pentaholics are addicted to this video. I would have been so stoked to be at this concert - what a momentous experience! You should watch the official video too just so you can see it as well and it is entertaining. Your wife should DEFINITELY be in a video if it is something she would enjoy doing!
I agree Mel, and I see why lol, it’s phenomenal. I think it will be something she enjoys but not going to put any pressure on her either, it’s supposed to be fun not intimidating and stressful lol! Thanks for watching!
Yeah the person filming (probably just with their phone, hence the quality of the video), was mainly focused on Mitch. Kevin came back in on the far right but they never panned out again after Mitch started.
Got it, thanks for watching and for the info Michelle!
As Jenna said, Kevin was stashing his cello. He always has a cello segment in their concerts both to show off his talents and to give the rest a bit of a break. The choral piece is Christus Factus Est, and if you watch their documentary, it opens with them working out how to use it as the opener for Aha.
I was already a fan of the original song by Imogen Heap and was delighted when it showed up on their first EP, but this particular live performance blows the recorded one out of the water.
You can tell the video recorder is a big Mitch fan!
I want to go to one of the concerts so badly haha, thanks for all the info, and 💯 the person taking the video loves Mitch just like we all do, thanks for watching Kathy!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 You have to go if you ever have the chance. I’ve been to three of their concerts. The last one was in 2019 and had Scott’s group Citizen Queen and Rachel Platten as openers. It was freaking amazing. I’ve seen two with Avi and one with Matt and while I definitely love Avi’s butter tones, Matt was awesome too. You won’t be sorry! The last one I was lucky to be able to see them in Green Bay and only had to drive 5 miles from home to do so.
Kathy - do you have a link to that particular documentary? I haven't seen it and would like to check out the "Christus" part, choir nerd that I am.
@@charlottevan_8 Il’s called On My Way Home, but I don’t know where it’s streaming right now. Netflix used to have it, but no more. Amazon Prime has it for rent, but you have to pay $3.99.
So fun. No one is ever truly ready for this video, which is part of why pentaholics like to throw it at new reactors. A trial by fire sort of deal. 😂
We’d love to see your wife join you for some reactions.
PTX members heights: Scott 6’4”, Kevin 6’3”, Matt 6’, Avi 5’11”, Mitch 5’10”, and Kirstin 5’4”. Which is why Kirstie is almost always wearing high heels when performing with the guys (and still barely comes to Mitch’s shoulder).
Lol I am ok with this kind of trial by fire Kristin, thanks for the info and for watching!
Love your reaction to AVI ... knowing he will go low and hear him are two different things. 😂 One is never prepared enough 😀. Your reactions to Mitch’s dance and going to the floor and his high notes are great. I absolutely love Mitch’s mischievous smile.
And AVI did blow a speaker or two during this song lol
Thank you so much Dawn, blowing speakers with your voice is just insane, I want to go to one of their concerts so badly!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 check out PTX natural disaster song live and I think 🤔 there is one live of hit the road jack where you can hear AVI abusing the speakers...
on the hit the road jack song AVI hits his low and Kevin runs after AVI on stage ... it is a sight to see
I only just noticed you still have your tree and lights up! We kept our outside lights up cause Ireland is so dreary in the Winter and this Winter seems even longer as we’re in a stricter lockdown now😩. Love all your PTX reactions btw. Could you persuade your better half to react to ‘Sing’ with you?
That song has definitely come up a fair bit, it will definitely be a contender for sure. I have been to Ireland quite a few times, beautiful there, thanks for watching F McM!
Oh! I'd love to see Ireland someday. Mr. RSR went before we were married. The tree still being up is totally me... I'm in charge of the decor. I got all the Christmas ornaments off, so now it just counts as part of the winter decor, right? lol
- Mrs. RockSolidReactions
Thanks so much, great reactions ! This is spectacular ! Mind-blowing sound ! PTX rocks every type of song they choose.
Yes, we'd love your wife's reactions! She loves PTX ! YES !
We are well on the way to getting her on here Denise, thanks for the comment and for watching!
Kirsti is 5''4" and says that she wears the heels and / or platforms on stage because otherwise she feels like a munchkin next to Scott (6''3") Mitch (5'10") and Kevin (5'11")...
Internet sources say Avi Kaplin 5'11", Kevin O 5'11" and Matt Sallee 5'9".... I'm confused by this. Goolgle is either Wrong, or there are a lot of platforms being worn. Not that it's wrong. LOVES them all anyway!!! xoxox
So she is a tiny little thing, Scott is about 1” taller than me then, I didn’t realize that Mitch was that tall, very cool Kirk, thanks!
Actually, Kevin is 6'2" and Avi is 5'11". When Kirstie wears her heels, she is close to Avi and Mitch.
@@rlhcat7662 knew I couldn’t count on Google. Kevin looks almost as tall as Scott, although Avi always looks like the smallest male...
That's because Mitch often wears platform type shoes, which add an inch or two. At 5'10", he is just slightly shorter than Avi.
Yes, Mrs. Rock Solid Reaction--join us!
Thanks Mary, we are getting closer and closer to the 100 mark!
Lots of great vocal acrobatics going on here! Listen to Avi while Mitch is crawling on the floor, because I believe he really is melting out the sound system at that point. And Mitch’s vocal control is amazing. The vocal coach Tara Simon really goes into detail over how he is using his mouth to shape the sound to perfection on that last high note. She’s a big Mitch fan, so her reaction to this performance is fun to watch. (Her reaction to Avi in their Silent Night cracks me up!)
Very cool Kathy, thanks for the info and for watching!
I love that you commented on the smile at the end. He's like "yeah, I did that." 💜
Mrs. RSR - we would love to meet you! Please come and join the PTX Reactions Squad!
Mr. RSR - you did the Mitch face!
This video is an example of Avi blowing out speakers. It speaks to the groups professionalism that they carried on and did not let the technical problems get in the way of the amazingness.
Mitch was on a different level in this particular show, and he knew it when he gave that tiny grin at the end.
Mitch always seems so tiny because he used to be always standing beside Scott, and even when wearing heels, he's always shorter than Scott.
I agree Risa, they are unbelievable and nothing seems to phase them, true professionals! Thanks for watching!
Second comment, Mitch was SO into this performance. Having performed myself, this is what we used to call magic. When everyone nails it
Very cool, we’re you a singer as well?
These reactions are what I live for! Priceless!!!! Please, keep them coming 🤩🤩🤩
Your wife definitely needs to be in and see one of these videos with you. I would recommend their original song Sing or their cover of Rather Be or Cheerleader- all are definitely underrated...and can we just say...MITCH!!!!!!Great reaction as always!
I agree Risa, thanks for helping me get her here and for the suggestions!
One vote for your wife. And if you watch some of the reactions from actual singing coaches about this performance, they also have the same drop jawed reactions. What he's making look easy is incredibly hard, which shows just how incredible a voice he has. He's not from around here, and the Angels come down to take lessons on hitting those high notes. The Devil tried to make a deal at the crossroads, but, as with Stevie Ray Vaughan, was just left there crying.
Very cool Richard, thanks for watching!
Sooo Mitch was feeling it that night, there are two other videos from that concert (same person uploaded) where he also has some moments. Break Free/See Through and Telephone... definitely worth checking out 👍
Thanks for the suggestion Ann, I will have to give them a listen!
You and your wife should react to The Wizard of Ahhs together. 1.) It's great. 2.) You can watch her. 3.) It's fun and worth another watch.
Haha I will run it by her for sure Karmakkaze, thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Yes, yes, yes! Would love to see your wife join you on a reaction video! Everybody comment yes below so that we can get her to join in on a video. As for a song to watch I think an appropriate one would be “Can’t Help Falling In Love”.
Lol thanks, and what a wonderful suggestion!
Absolutely have your wife react to the ptx song that blew your mind. Watching her discover them for the first time you will understand why people love watching you react and discover something we enjoy.
We are well on the way to getting her on here Laine, thanks for helping me out, and for watching!
Yes please! I'd love to see your wife and her reaction to a PTX song! There is always room for another Pentaholic :-) I hope she can share this journey with you and us.
Lol, we are well on the way to getting her on here, thanks for helping me out, and for watching!
Mitch's vocals on his and Scott's rendition of Defying Gravity and their Frozen medley with Kirsty are equally remarkable.
Indeed they are, thanks for watching!
Mrs. 'Rock Solid Reactions' should definitely be involved in your reactions. I'm thinking what to recommend! So much to choose from!!
Lol I agree David, thanks for helping me get her on here!
Let's see Mrs. Rock Solid, Go back into the archives with No or Can't Sleep Love.
Thanks the sweet one, I will put those in the running!
*** Your Wife NEEDS to Be in one of the video reactions! ....How in the world are you going to count these requests? *giggles*
She will be counting I assure you Jennifer, looks like from the comments it’s not going to take long to get to 100, thanks for watching!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 HA!!! So funny!
She needs to be videos with you. Would love to meet her.
Thanks Dee Jay, I appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Mrs. RSR, please join your hubby in a video... or 2... or permanently! 😉
Great reaction! I think this was the video that convinced me that Mitch is my favorite male vocalist ever and tied at the top with Celine Dion for all-time favorite. Also, he is so stinkin' cute!
And I don't think your brain had reformed by the end of this video. No worries, we all get like that with this song!!!
Thanks as always Jennifer, he always manages to surprise me some how. Thanks for helping me get her on here!
Definitely not haha!
Hi Jennifer! Everybody comments about how Mr. RSR has such an expressive face.... well, I have no control over my expressions whatsoever! 🤪😆😳 It'll sure be interesting!
I read on another reaction that Kevin was off stage putting away cello, but you CAN hear him!
For sure Grace, wouldn’t be the same without him! Thanks for watching!
Please react to their Popspring live performance, Come Along cover, Can you feel the love tonight cover, Evolution of Ariana Grande, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Evolution of Beyonce
We would loved to see your wife reacting to Pentatonix 😊
Great reaction - I love, love, love to see people hearing this for the first time. We absolutely would like Mrs. Rock Solid Reactions to join!
Thank you very much Kristina, thanks for helping me get her on here!
Yes, we need to see Mrs. RSR join the fun!
She did on can’t help falling in love, hope you enjoy it Carol, thanks for watching!
Yes your wife should be in your video. I recommend the Pentatonix video of "Valentine" since it's February 14th soon.
Very cool suggestion, thanks for watching and for the suggestion David!
I agree! "Valentine" is beautiful!
Love your deep voice.
The lead-in piece is "Christus Factus Est", which Avi sang with his college chamber choir, hence why it was his idea to use it. If you want to see very young Avi performing it with said chamber choir, here ya go (that's him in the back row with the bushy hair and mini beard, about 1/3 of the way from the left). ruclips.net/video/BIn-wM5sVM0/видео.html
Very cool Charlotte thanks for the link, and for watching!
Ah Mitch on the floor just kills me lol, you know that front row was thrilled, I'd have died. they did a cover of Take On Me by AHA its audio-only if you want to react to it here's the link ruclips.net/video/768uJ5yZidQ/видео.html
Awesome thanks Anessa, I want to go to a concert of theirs so badly lol , thanks for watching!
Just to let you know the audio version of their new song " the lucky ones" off their new upcoming album is available on here to listen too as usual AMAZING have a listen love keep safe and best wishes
I will have to check that out John!
I know most people focus, deservedly so, on Mitch in this song. However, I think Scott and Kirstie’s parts are probably the most difficult rhythmically speaking. In fact, I feel their’s is probably the hardest. You can see how much they are moving their hands to the rhythm they each need to hit- and they’re opposite eachother. If they aren’t 100% in sync with eachother- Mitch’s part wouldn’t even be needed since the whole song would fall apart
I would have to agree with that Laurie, and that’s what makes Ptx so good IMO! Thanks for watching!
Avi did blow the subwoofers at that concert. I've heard there were some Red Bulls consumed before the concert.
Yes please have Mrs Rock Solid Reactions---I would love to see her reaction to this video. You both would love PTX The Prayer, Gold, Hallelujah from their Christmas special Live for TV, the Wizard tribute, the Wizard of Ahhhs with Toddrick Hall the list goes on, but you can start there. Enjoy!
Yes please, I would love to see you and your wife react to some PTX.
Thanks Mary Lou, we are all on our way to getting her on!
This was an Imogene Heap song and yes they did do Take on me.
Too many aha’s Jeffery lol thanks for watching!
Mrs RSR needs to be in at least one of your videos!
I agree Bronson, thanks for helping me get her on here!
Mitch's high notes here are mind blowing. His control is equally amazing. This song is actually called Aha by Imogen Heap. They did do a cover of Take on Me by Aha though. 😉 Hoping to see your wife in a future reaction. Btw did you ever check out Kevin's cover of Bach's Prelude?
They certainly are Calla Lily, I am finding that out haha, too many aha’s lol, thanks for being so sweet about it!
While this one wasn’t one of my favorites they are still mighty impressive in it. Of course we’d like to see your other half in a PTX reaction. Can’t Hold Us is another one of their early videos and shows they have rapping skills too.
Thanks for your reaction. This is a must see performance for everyone. That being said, I'm one of the few people that prefer the official video to this one. If you're more into the performance this is the version for you but if you're one that likes to understand the lyrics more, I'd say the official video will be your favorite of the 2.
They have done Take On Me. It is so awesome!!
I have no doubts thanks for watching April!
We HAVE to have Mrs. Rock Solid
Mrs. Rock Solid Reactions please!!! Maybe do the studio version of this one!!! I would have suggested you do that one 1st, but I think I am in the minority on that! Lol!!!!
Now that you’ve been awed by the epic live performance...just for your own edification, and to truely appreciate Avi and Kevin (not to mention Kirstie and Scott) contributions watch ruclips.net/video/8r3B9j2WF0k/видео.html the livestream video of this song, gives clearer coverage of everybody.
I will have to give that a listen Sonja, thanks!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 you won’t regret it, I promise. In fact, you will appreciate the live Aha! performance even more.
By all means Mrs Rock Solid should make an appearance and it should be to you both reacting to Pentatonix doing their rendition of Can You Feel the Love Tonight. I do not believe you have reacted to that one yet❣️
That’s a great suggestion, thanks Chris!
Kevin was there but he was putting his cello away at the start. I’ve said before, the Diva hit the top note and gave us all time to appreciate it! The song is called Aha, it’s not by AHA. 😂👏🏻 I knew you would love this!.
So glad you posted this! I am totally cracking up! Tell him who the original artist was babe! (Imogen Heap - Aha!) I actually love listening to her version too. However it makes me admire Mitch even more. I sincerely love Jennifer Heap's version, but PTX always seems to bring everything up another level. Am I wrong? ;) xo ruclips.net/video/m55-_3TCE4M/видео.html
I fixed the title at least Doe T haha, thanks for being so sweet about it!
@@rocksolidreactions3901 . 😂 it made me laugh. But I get the confusion. 👍🏻
Absolutely. We want to see the Mrs.!
If your wife is not in a video...I shall walk into the sea.
How far into the sea are we talking? Like far enough to just get your toes wet?
- Mrs. RockSolidReactions
I don't think anyone's ever ready for this performance, but if you've been familiarized with the mitch-slap you're not going to be blasted FULLY out of orbit by the mitch-PUNCH. ALso I was tickled by "they're gonna blow up the sound system at this place" bc (as I"m sure many people have told you lol) Avi absolutely DID bust the speakers, which is why the latter half of the song is extra fuzzy/buzzy
First off, having your wife on the channel would be great if she's comfortable with it. 😊👍🏼
Secondly, the arrangement in their cover of Aha! Is amazing. Maybe you could react to their music video?
Also they did a cover of "take on me" by the band aha. It doesn't have a music video, but it's great and really fun to listen to.
Thanks again Dani, I hope we can get her on!
Scott’s the giant at 6’4” (he would be taller, except he has scoliosis). Kevin is 6’1”. Mitch and Avi are the same height at 5’10” (but Mitch often wears platforms to give him some extra height). Kirstin is about 5’4”, which is average for a woman but just a lot shorter than everybody else around her, so she always wears heels that are sky-high.
Makes perfect sense lachimiste1 thanks for the info!
Mrs Rock Solid need to join! Any PTX song works, especially for newbies.
Avi blows speakers in another video of this. If you Google Avi Kaplan blows speakers/Hit The Road Jack.
This song is AMAZING live...they all are though.
Lol I agree Kristin, I have heard he has blown some speakers, that’s just crazy to me, thanks for watching!
