Yeah every note, every beat is just them. They are the top acapella group with 19 million subs, 3 Grammys, their Hallejuah video has over 600 million views, the list is super long. Anything you react to will blow your mind as to how in sync they are with every note
Quick update. A few days ago Pentatonix reposted their _Hallelujah_ to add VEVO branding and English text for those who wanted it. Otherwise, I think it is exactly the same video, but the repost reset the count from the 650 million it had. Of course in 4 days it's already above 230 thousand, so it still looks pretty darn respectable view-wise.
Welcome to the height of a capella. I will be looking forward to you exploring more Pentatonix! It *is* all voices, the beat and percussion is all the beatboxer, Kevin, on the far right and the bass, Matt, on the far left. The group has been together for 10 years with only one member change - Matt joined in 2017 and before him was Avi, a white guy with a beard, 2011-2017. It was an amicable split, Avi was struggling with their fast-paced schedule and is happy now in a solo folk/renegade/singer-songwriter career. Mitch (with the mullet, here) and Kirstin switch up their looks drastically enough to confuse new reactors. The trio (with the blond, Scott) has been singing together since they were kids, though, and are always the same people. The other commonly asked question - yes, the beatboxer can sing and does occasionally. Not often, though, because they need the beats! I believe the only videos with more views than Sound of Silence are their cover of Hallelujah and their Daft Punk medley. Hallelujah is a classic Leonard Cohen song most popularly sung by Jeff Buckley that most people recognize from the movie Shrek, if nowhere else 😆 Daft Punk is a medley of Daft Punk EDM songs and is the extreme opposite end of what the group does... it also won them their first of three Grammys. PTX also has original songs and covers basically every genre. I'm sure plenty of people will come in with suggestions for you.
Suggestions: - Hallelujah - Bohemian Rhapsody - Daft Punk - Imagine - Can't Hold Us - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) - Sing - New Rules x Are You That Somebody - Gold - Evolution of Michael Jackson - Can You Feel the Love Tonight - Seasons of Love - Coffee in Bed The rabbit hole is deep and the list is long. They do covers (some say upgrades) and originals. And a ton of Christmas music! Start a Pentatonix (PTX for short) Playlist and the fans (called Pentaholics) will flock to your channel... Enjoy the ride!
shall we wait until after Christmas before we introduce him to other acapella groups ie Home Free and Voiceplay ? all 3 groups are rabbit holes he'll never crawl out of
We fans are Pentaholics, we love them and love watching people discover their insane talent . Ten years of sold out concerts around the world , TV specials, 3 Grammys, They have a 200 plus song catalog, covers and originals. They are the premiere a Capella in the world. Not a single song that isn’t excellent This is a cover of a 1960s song from Simon and Garfunkel. about how we fail to really emotionally connect with one another. Sad that it’s still true today If you listen to them your subscriptions will rapidly grow. You can watch them live on several videos You might Start with some of their most popular one Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk Medley, Hallelujah. Thanks for your reaction
Yes, they are acapella (no instruments, voice only) and the top acapella group in the world. Interesting that you mentioned "Charlie And The Chocolate Factory" because Scott, Mitch and Kirstie met and performed together for the first time in that play when they were 9 years old in a children's theater group in their home town of Arlington Texas. They became close friends in high school singing in the school choir together. In 2011, they decided to audition for the "Sing Off" and were told that they had to have five members and a beatboxer to qualify so they met Avi (bass singer not in this video) through a mutual friend and found Kevin when they googled "beatboxer" on line and found Kevin's video of him "celloboxing" (beatboxing while playing cello) to "Julia". They cover all genres of music so I would recommend going through their list and picking out songs you know and like for starters--all are excellent upgrades of the original so you won't be disappointed. They do have their own original songs too that you would enjoy if you continue your journey through their music and career.
Sheeesh fr!? I guess everything happens for a reason lol I would’ve never thought that movie and them go hand in hand! But yeah I’m going down this rabbit hole regardless lol they really blown me away no capp
Yes, PTX is a capella. They occasionally use an instrument, however you will see it if they use one. They have been around for 10 years and have a huge catalog of music. In that time they have had 1 member change (their bass, Avi, left and was replaced with Matt who was in the white jacket here). Kirstie (only girl) and Mitch (tenor with a mullet) change their look A LOT, but are both founding members. Suggestions: Hallelujah, Can’t Hold Us, Bohemian Rhapsody, evolution of Michael Jackson, Daft Punk….. you really can’t go wrong.

The Headless Horseman Sixteen Tons Blackbird Monster Mash Thanks ..
Thank you for reacting to this amazing Pentatonix video. A cappella is fun and they are incredible at doing it. I hope that you react to more of their music. They have hundreds of covers and original songs. Anything that you choose for a Pentatonix reaction will be great and will be welcomed.
Pentatonix are amazing!!! Hallelujah, imagine, say something, cant hold us down are my favourite s , great reaction 😊💗🐨 check out Kevin s solo ' down' , he is unbelievable, but they are all so talented!
No instruments at all. It’s called a cappella (voices only). Sometimes they do have an instrument (usually Kevin the beatboxer’s cello), but it will be prominently displayed. The three in the middle, Kirstin (alto), Scott (baritone),and Mitch (countertenor), are the main vocalists. They have been singing together since high school as The Trio. They added a bass and a beatboxer to form Pentatonix. The man on the right is Kevin who is the beatboxer/tenor/cello player. The man on the left is Matt, the bass since 2017. Avi was the original bass from 2011 to 2017. This was the only member change in the group. They have a couple hundred songs from their 10 year career to pick from. Most new reactors view Hallelujah, Daft Punk (medley), or Bohemian Rhapsody next.
We Pentaholics like to say that PTX (Pentatonix) doesn't just do remakes or covers...they do upgrades! You keep looking into their videos and watch their rise to fame on season 3 of The Sing Off and you'll understand what I mean. There's not a song they've touched that isn't better than the original. They have also done several original songs. Enjoy your fall down the rabbit hole, friend!
They have ten years worth of music to catch up on. They have great Christmas music also. Can’t wait to see you go down this rabbit hole. You won’t be sorry. The fans (pentaholics) will follow and grow your channel. 💕💕
More PTX please! You want bars? - "Can't hold us" You want Gospel? - "Amazing Grace" You want Techno? - "Daft Punk" You want a Caribbean vibe? - "Havana" You want an original? - "Love Again" You want nostalgia? - any of the 'evolution' video's ... and so many more!
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ACAPELLA..... All the music is made with their body mouth etc. Kevin one of the black gentlemen does a lot himself beatboxing etc. THEY are the whole orchestra..
They did it all by mouth plus stomps and hand-claps. This is "a capella" and they may well be the best in the world at it. (At least that is my opinion.) As to "sounding dope live" - they won't drop a video on their site if they can't do it "live" in concert. They have won three Grammy awards for songs in three totally different genres. Their first was a medley of songs by the Electro-Pop group Daft Punk. If you think their beat-boxing was good here, be prepared to blow your mind on Daft Punk. Their second Grammy was "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from one of their Christmas album and is conceptually mind-blowing as well. It was a group without instruments performing a selection without lyrics. Their third Grammy was "Jolene" recorded with Dolly Parton, one of the queens of country music. This may well be one of the most versatile vocal groups you will ever see in your lifetime.
Oh my are you in for a ride if you continue with these wonderful people❣️. I’ll subscribe if you react to more Pentatonix. They have tons of stuff to listen to and the good thing is that Christmas is coming and THEY KILL CHRISTMAS! Listen to their cover of Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King. Talk about beautiful voices❣️
every sound you hear is their mouth. there is some audio editing since its a music video, but theyre just as amazing in live performances, you can watch their performances in the voice
Believe it or not, it's even more amazing in person! I...CAN...NOT...WAIT, to go on this journey with you, and watch you quickly turn into a member of the family...a Pentaholic! React to literally everything Pentatonix, and watch your subs skyrocket!!!
Yep, just their voices. You must check out PTX's early covers: Kiiara's "Gold,""Daft Punk Medley," "Bohemian Rhapsody" after watching Queen's original," then Tears for Fears' "Mad World," Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over," the very classy "Havana," and their brilliant mash-up of "New Rules/Are You That Somebody." Their spooky "Making Christmas" is brilliant and hilarious and don't miss "My Favorite Things." For more of Kevin's (beatboxer) singing voice, you might enjoy his covers of "Sign of the Times" and "Down." Brace yourself before viewing Mitch's cover of Billie Eilish's "Your Power." Oh, and don't forget Superfruit's "Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2" BTW, PTX is just as awesome live. You're welcome.
I've been loving your reaction to PTX so i have a request that I'm praying you react to. It's for non other then PTX's amazing beatboxer Kevin "KO" Olusola. Its just him, in his home studio, making music with his looper and this Man is a Beast. In my view he is the most talented member of the group. I'm not taking away anything from Scott, Mitch, Kirsty, or Matt and Avi, but here's the low down on Kev. At age 5 he started to play a songs from the radio on a toy keyboard his dad bought for him on X-Mass, 3 days after he opened it ...by ear alone. His dad saw his gift and automatically put him in professional lessons for Piano but Kev also wanted more pro lessons as the years went on, and by the age of 10 he was being taught professionally on the Piano, Saxophone and Cello. The Cello was his main instrument but he is classically taught on all 3 instruments and has preformed in Carnegie Hall twice as a soloist, once for Sax and the other Cello and that's before he was 17. He is the first person to invent and master Cello boxing, mixing classical Cello and urban hip hop beatboxing together. He's also a writer and brilliant music producer. He has also gotten his degree in Pre-Med and Asian Studies from Princeton and speaks perfect Mandarin Chinese, all this before the age of 21. When he finally met Scott and the other members of PTX to audition for The Sing Off on NBC they had only been a group for one day. I suggest you react to Kevin's cover of "Down" by Marian Hill ruclips.net/video/IGjg193h4Ok/видео.html and my other fav is Kevin's remake of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles ruclips.net/video/hBFlhLEU7uU/видео.html You will blow your mind watching these. trust me and enjoy. I know I'll enjoy seeing you react to them. Thank You & Peace.
This is all a capella. no instruments. Flash! Now that you hear this beauty, also try the a capella band Home Free cover of "Man of Constant Sorrows". You will build two new fan bases by doing so. Promise. [Subscribed]
All by sound! They very seldom use an instrument and if they do you'll see it up front. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody and Can't Hold Us. They do all types of music both covers and originals.
This is a cover, Disturbed version is a cover.. Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel wrote this and they recorded it in 1964.. You really should listen to the original.. Simon and Garfunkel 1964.. I was 18 when this came out.
I've seen them in concert twice and it's incredible. They have no instruments and do all of it by mouth. Kevin, the beatboxer, has a mat they place on the ground and he stomps on it to get a base drum note...it's insane to watch. Super talented...
Pentatonix is amazing. React to them doing hallelujah. Also if you want to expand your music listening then I challenge you to watch a video by a singer called Dimash. If you haven’t ever heard him your mind is fixing to be blown. He is known as the best singer in the world. He has a 7 plus octave range and sings in 12 languages. I hope you will seriously consider reacting to him. I would recommend reacting to the song sos Slavic bazaar. His full name is Dimash kudaibergen. He is from Kazakhstan. I promise you will not regret checking him out. He is like nothing you have ever heard before New subscriber from Georgia Great reaction to pentatonix
Yup, pure acapella goodness. Beat boxer and singer Kevin Olusola is also a concert-quality cellist who brings his cello to a few really special videos. Bass Matt Sallee joined the group in 2017 after the departure of Avi Kaplan, otherwise that's the only personnel change in their ten year history. Hard to tell sometimes, though, because tenor Mitch Grassi changes his look on nearly every video and has really changed since the group formed when he, Kirsti Maldonado and baritone Scott Hoying (tall blond) were all 19 years old. Kirsti also changes hair color and style regularly. Coming in to the Christmas season and Christmas music is some of what they do the very best - I stopped listening to Christmas carols years ago but they changed my mind. Check out their versions of The First Noel, Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful. And any of the covers...And any of their evolutions...And any of their originals...and any of their collabs..
@@KoalaKam Mary did you know is my favorite Christmas song that they sing. I'm not a religious person at all but that song is fantastic. Their version of the little drummer boy is also a favorite of mine. Not as good as Bing Crosby and David Bowies version but still amazing.
There are no instruments. That's all 100% Kevin the beatboxer. They are an acapella group. Everything you hear is purely them. Great reaction. They have so many amazing songs. Daft Punk, Hallelujah, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Can You Feel The Love Tonight. And they have so many amazing originals too.
There are songs (not many) out there where they DO use instruments - mostly Kevin on Cello or Scott on Piano - but if there are instruments, you will see them in the video. IMHO, there are no BAD PTX songs. Every one is a masterpiece.
@@Iwonka0081 I didn't intentionally leave out Matt. Jeez I do have memory issues so I very easily forget things. I try to remember but I'm not very good at remembering everything. I didn't mean to leave him out. I love Matt he's phenomenal. And was a really good addition to the group. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I struggle with memory loss.
It is just them! This group sings A cappella (no instruments). You have to hear their classic, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. Written in 1890's by the famous composer Tchaikovsky. It is a classic Christmas Ballet. This group has no instruments and the song has no Lyrics. Pentatonix won a Grammy for it! They just said "Hold My Beer". Outstanding the way they perform it. Subbed for more PTX (short for Pentatonix)
Dude you are hilarious! I subbed to hear you react to more Pentatonix. You will be amazed at what they do. Thanks for the giggles, I needed that today.
My two worlds collide!! My fave thing to do is watch reactions to One Direction and Pentatonix! now I can do both with you! Keep up the good work!!! (Do Hallelujah next)
They are acapella - they use NO instruments!! Check out their BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY and their DAFT PUNK videos and remember, *no instruments* - your mind will be blown!!!!
If you truly want to get a vibe for what Pentatonix can do, you'll need to check out a breadth of their tracks. My suggestions include: * Daft Punk (EDM, Grammy Winner) * Can't Hold Us (Dance/Rap) * Hallelujah (Gospel) * Bohemian Rhapsody (Rock, Brian May shared this track on Twitter when it released) * Jolene (Country, ft. Dolly Parton, Grammy Winner) * Mary Did You Know (Xmas)
Yes. All vocals/a cappella. And beatboxing. This song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1965 I believe. Disturbed did a well known cover. Then Pentatonix did it.
Pentaholic here! It's what we Pentatonix fans call ourselves. Welcome to the rabbit-hole! I hope you keep reacting to PTX, you won't be disappointed and yes, it's all them. No extra instruments. There are some songs that do have instruments, but if it's there you will see it in the video. They aren't trying to hide it. I recommend Hallelujah, it has like 600 million views and it is absolutely amazing. Also, Daft Punk Medley (they won a Grammy for this one), Can't Hold Us-Macklmore and Ryan Lewis cover, Any of their "Evolution of...(Michael Jackson, Music, Arianna Grande, Rhianna)" videos. Honestly though, anything, and I do mean anything you react to by Pentatonix will blow your mind and you won't be disappointed. Thanks for the great reaction and subbed. 💚
Charlie and the wonka, lol I’m dying. You’re a riot. I’m watching your whole playlist of reactions to PTX this morning (as you can tell from all my comments so far). You should check out Superfruit which is Scott and Mitch from PTX. You should start with Defying gravity and then their frozen medley because they’re not off their album and then evolution of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Miley…. And then move on to their actual album, Guy.exe is the funniest video you’ll ever see and it’s where the TikTok sound, “6ft tall and strong” comes from.
This a cover of a Simon and Garfunkel song which was released in the 1960's. The guy in the middle is the baritone and lead singer. The 2nd singer is Mitch. He is a counter tenor. He sings incredibly high. The 3rd singer is Matt, he sings bass. The girl is Kirsten. She is mezzo soprano. The other black guy is Kevin. He is a beat boxer extraordinaire. He can also sing tenor, rap and play cello. The instruments you heard, is their voices. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody, imagine, 90's dance medley, butter x dynamite, and daft punk medley by them. You are in for a real treat.
They are very good with all the multiple harmonies...now go to Conan show and watch David Draiman of Disturbed perform this song ....while sick apparently.
Only fair to warn you though, their record label is HECK on copywrite infringement and blocks stuff all the time.... filters, pauses, rewind 5 sec everytime you pause.... still hard to get it through.
Pentatonix are the best. Totally amazing talent. I hope you react to some of their other videos. My favorites are Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Or try their Evolution of Michael Jackson or their Evolution of Rihanna. Thanks for the reaction.
They are entirely A Capella. No instruments at all. Those percussion sounds you hear? They all come from the guy on the far right. The bass guitar sound? Guy in the white jacket. Every sound is 100% voice. Check out Hallelujah next.
They've been together since 2011 with only one member change. That was the bass man. Other members change their looks (hair) a lot, but the only real change was the bass. You should check out their "Evolution of Rhianna", or "Evolution of Ariana Grande"
Great reaction! You can't go wrong with PTX,, anything they do is superb quality. I see a lot of recommendations in the comments I'll suggest an original or two, Happy Now, Sing, Love Again, Run to You --- those give an amazingly broad view of the range they do from a slow and dark, emotional undercurrent to a Club Beat you won't believe is a Cappela.
Yes, all with their mouths!!!! Sometimes the beatboxer will play the cello and beatbox at the same time. Please start reacting to more of their songs. Covers and originals!!!!
I had the same reaction as you when I first ran across PTX about four years ago. Had to listen to their version of Hallelujah five times before I could believe that no instruments were being used. They sound orchestral but have no orchestra backing them up. All them. Each member has ridiculous range with Scott Hoying, the tall blond usually on lead having the widest. He can go from mid tenor to deep bass with baritone his most natural register. Mitch Grassi, shorter guy with the mullet in this video, is a natural high tenor but has gone as low as deep baritone on rare occasions. Kevin Olusola, the beat boxer has a beautiful mid to high tenor voice but can drop to mid bass if necessary. Matt Sallee, the regular bass can, also, hit mid tenor if the occasion asks for it. Kirstin Maldonado can hit virtually any female register. They are so versatile that nothing appears out of the question. They can all rap, as well. Matt is an excellent beat boxer who augments Kevin when that is called for. Kevin is one of the very best beat boxers in the entire world. Kevin is, also, a concert cellist and Scott plays piano. When they do play instruments, they display their instruments prominently. Authenticity is very important to them. The integrity of the group comes first and foremost. What you get is what you see. No sleight of hand. Pentatonix is the real deal.
I watched your collection of pentatonix reactions 3 times. Enjoyed it every time. As to what I want you to react to. The answer is simple. All of them. Thank you.
yes they do all the beats sounds . can you react to pentatonix new rules. cheerleader. havana. imagine. sing. the feeling cant hold us they rap in this. mary did you know. amazing grace. rather be love again. daft punk. Bohemian rhapsody. can you feel the love tonight.
Subbed for more PTX - they do so many genres, just have a look at their catalogue and see what songs may be familiar to you and have a listen. They also have some incredible originals.... enjoy the journey!

Thank you for reacting to this amazing Pentatonix video. A cappella is fun and they are incredible at doing it. I hope that you react to more of their music. They have hundreds of covers and original songs. Anything that you choose for a Pentatonix reaction will be great and will be welcomed.
You’re welcome and will do more reactions are on the way!
Pentatonix are amazing!!! Hallelujah, imagine, say something, cant hold us down are my favourite s , great reaction 😊💗🐨 check out Kevin s solo ' down' , he is unbelievable, but they are all so talented!
Ayyye thanks Sara and will do!
@@KoalaKam 😊🐨💗
No instruments at all. It’s called a cappella (voices only). Sometimes they do have an instrument (usually Kevin the beatboxer’s cello), but it will be prominently displayed.
The three in the middle, Kirstin (alto), Scott (baritone),and Mitch (countertenor), are the main vocalists. They have been singing together since high school as The Trio. They added a bass and a beatboxer to form Pentatonix.
The man on the right is Kevin who is the beatboxer/tenor/cello player. The man on the left is Matt, the bass since 2017. Avi was the original bass from 2011 to 2017. This was the only member change in the group.
They have a couple hundred songs from their 10 year career to pick from. Most new reactors view Hallelujah, Daft Punk (medley), or Bohemian Rhapsody next.
That’s freakin insane, thanks for the info!
Synthesizers and Autotune
@@chuckt8457 Nope. Everything they do is WITHOUT THOSE THINGS. They don't do anything in their videos that they can't do live, onstage.
We Pentaholics like to say that PTX (Pentatonix) doesn't just do remakes or covers...they do upgrades! You keep looking into their videos and watch their rise to fame on season 3 of The Sing Off and you'll understand what I mean. There's not a song they've touched that isn't better than the original. They have also done several original songs. Enjoy your fall down the rabbit hole, friend!
Bet bet and appreciate your support!
Please react to Hallellujiah official video or live version of it, LOVE this group, they are so talented
Bet bettt
They have ten years worth of music to catch up on. They have great Christmas music also. Can’t wait to see you go down this rabbit hole. You won’t be sorry. The fans (pentaholics) will follow and grow your channel. 💕💕
Ayyyye thanks for the insight and support!
More PTX please!
You want bars? - "Can't hold us"
You want Gospel? - "Amazing Grace"
You want Techno? - "Daft Punk"
You want a Caribbean vibe? - "Havana"
You want an original? - "Love Again"
You want nostalgia? - any of the 'evolution' video's
... and so many more!
More reactions are on the way! Daft punk is dropping soon, can’t hold us is dropping soon as well!
Do more Pentatonix!!! React to any video you find, there is nothing out there that won't blow your mind. You WONT regret it!
Bet bettt
Note: This is a cover by Simon and Garfunkel from the '60's. Check out the original.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ACAPELLA..... All the music is made with their body mouth etc. Kevin one of the black gentlemen does a lot himself beatboxing etc. THEY are the whole orchestra..
They did it all by mouth plus stomps and hand-claps. This is "a capella" and they may well be the best in the world at it. (At least that is my opinion.) As to "sounding dope live" - they won't drop a video on their site if they can't do it "live" in concert. They have won three Grammy awards for songs in three totally different genres. Their first was a medley of songs by the Electro-Pop group Daft Punk. If you think their beat-boxing was good here, be prepared to blow your mind on Daft Punk. Their second Grammy was "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" from one of their Christmas album and is conceptually mind-blowing as well. It was a group without instruments performing a selection without lyrics. Their third Grammy was "Jolene" recorded with Dolly Parton, one of the queens of country music. This may well be one of the most versatile vocal groups you will ever see in your lifetime.
Sheeesh they’re amazing! But appreciate you for the info!
Well now I have to subscribe, now that you've discovered PTX ♥ I just completely love seeing someone discovering them for the first time lol.
Oh my are you in for a ride if you continue with these wonderful people❣️. I’ll subscribe if you react to more Pentatonix. They have tons of stuff to listen to and the good thing is that Christmas is coming and THEY KILL CHRISTMAS! Listen to their cover of Can You Feel the Love Tonight from the Lion King. Talk about beautiful voices❣️
Bet bet imma keep these reactions coming!
every sound you hear is their mouth. there is some audio editing since its a music video, but theyre just as amazing in live performances, you can watch their performances in the voice
Welcome to the world... Of pentaholics
Ayyye appreciate the intro love
No instruments. They are an Acapella group. 😂❤❤❤
Believe it or not, it's even more amazing in person! I...CAN...NOT...WAIT, to go on this journey with you, and watch you quickly turn into a member of the family...a Pentaholic! React to literally everything Pentatonix, and watch your subs skyrocket!!!
I can’t wait to go down the journey too, this is going to be amazing!
Yep, just their voices. You must check out PTX's early covers: Kiiara's "Gold,""Daft Punk Medley," "Bohemian Rhapsody" after watching Queen's original," then Tears for Fears' "Mad World," Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over," the very classy "Havana," and their brilliant mash-up of "New Rules/Are You That Somebody." Their spooky "Making Christmas" is brilliant and hilarious and don't miss "My Favorite Things." For more of Kevin's (beatboxer) singing voice, you might enjoy his covers of "Sign of the Times" and "Down." Brace yourself before viewing Mitch's cover of Billie Eilish's "Your Power." Oh, and don't forget Superfruit's "Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2" BTW, PTX is just as awesome live. You're welcome.
YESSSS! Pentatonix Evolution of Rihanna next PLEASE!
There are no extra instruments, it's beatbox 😀
Sheeeesh that blows my mind
This song was written in the 1960s and performed by Simon and Garfunkel.
Please react to Pentatonix singing
Can you feel the love
Amazing Grace, Havana, Gold, Royals,
Happy Now, Sing, No Place I’d rather Be.
Every sound you hear is them.
I've been loving your reaction to PTX so i have a request that I'm praying you react to. It's for non other then PTX's amazing beatboxer Kevin "KO" Olusola. Its just him, in his home studio, making music with his looper and this Man is a Beast. In my view he is the most talented member of the group. I'm not taking away anything from Scott, Mitch, Kirsty, or Matt and Avi, but here's the low down on Kev.
At age 5 he started to play a songs from the radio on a toy keyboard his dad bought for him on X-Mass, 3 days after he opened it ...by ear alone. His dad saw his gift and automatically put him in professional lessons for Piano but Kev also wanted more pro lessons as the years went on, and by the age of 10 he was being taught professionally on the Piano, Saxophone and Cello. The Cello was his main instrument but he is classically taught on all 3 instruments and has preformed in Carnegie Hall twice as a soloist, once for Sax and the other Cello and that's before he was 17.
He is the first person to invent and master Cello boxing, mixing classical Cello and urban hip hop beatboxing together. He's also a writer and brilliant music producer. He has also gotten his degree in Pre-Med and Asian Studies from Princeton and speaks perfect Mandarin Chinese, all this before the age of 21. When he finally met Scott and the other members of PTX to audition for The Sing Off on NBC they had only been a group for one day.
I suggest you react to Kevin's cover of "Down" by Marian Hill ruclips.net/video/IGjg193h4Ok/видео.html and my other fav is Kevin's remake of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles ruclips.net/video/hBFlhLEU7uU/видео.html You will blow your mind watching these. trust me and enjoy. I know I'll enjoy seeing you react to them.
Thank You
&
Peace.
Great reaction
Thank you!
This is all a capella. no instruments. Flash! Now that you hear this beauty, also try the a capella band Home Free cover of "Man of Constant Sorrows". You will build two new fan bases by doing so. Promise. [Subscribed]
New Rules are you that somebody and Shallow
Welcome to the acapella rabbit hole!!!!
Pentatonix means 5 notes in musical terms.
THIS SOUNDIN TOO NICE sent me lollllllll
There’s no instruments. It is an ah capella group.
I just subbed in hopes of more PTX reactions! 💖
Ayyye appreciate you and more Pentatonix reactions are on the way!
Another a cappella group you need to check out is Naturally 7. Everything they sing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Bet bett
I recommend the 90's dance melody. It is even more insane than this.
All by sound! They very seldom use an instrument and if they do you'll see it up front. Check out Bohemian Rhapsody and Can't Hold Us. They do all types of music both covers and originals.
Listen to Puddles Pity Party version of this song. He does an amazing job with it.
Just singers and beatboxer.
This is a cover, Disturbed version is a cover.. Paul Simon, of Simon and Garfunkel wrote this and they recorded it in 1964.. You really should listen to the original.. Simon and Garfunkel 1964.. I was 18 when this came out.
They are an accapella group. No instruments. Occasionally they use instruments, but they are always visible
I've seen them in concert twice and it's incredible. They have no instruments and do all of it by mouth. Kevin, the beatboxer, has a mat they place on the ground and he stomps on it to get a base drum note...it's insane to watch. Super talented...
Yeah I bet they are insane live!
Pentatonix is amazing. React to them doing hallelujah. Also if you want to expand your music listening then I challenge you to watch a video by a singer called Dimash. If you haven’t ever heard him your mind is fixing to be blown. He is known as the best singer in the world. He has a 7 plus octave range and sings in 12 languages. I hope you will seriously consider reacting to him. I would recommend reacting to the song sos Slavic bazaar. His full name is Dimash kudaibergen. He is from Kazakhstan. I promise you will not regret checking him out. He is like nothing you have ever heard before New subscriber from Georgia Great reaction to pentatonix
Yup, pure acapella goodness. Beat boxer and singer Kevin Olusola is also a concert-quality cellist who brings his cello to a few really special videos. Bass Matt Sallee joined the group in 2017 after the departure of Avi Kaplan, otherwise that's the only personnel change in their ten year history. Hard to tell sometimes, though, because tenor Mitch Grassi changes his look on nearly every video and has really changed since the group formed when he, Kirsti Maldonado and baritone Scott Hoying (tall blond) were all 19 years old. Kirsti also changes hair color and style regularly. Coming in to the Christmas season and Christmas music is some of what they do the very best - I stopped listening to Christmas carols years ago but they changed my mind. Check out their versions of The First Noel, Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful. And any of the covers...And any of their evolutions...And any of their originals...and any of their collabs..
Sheeesh they go crazy! 🤯
@@KoalaKam Mary did you know is my favorite Christmas song that they sing. I'm not a religious person at all but that song is fantastic. Their version of the little drummer boy is also a favorite of mine. Not as good as Bing Crosby and David Bowies version but still amazing.
Pentatonix "Evolution of Michael Jackson" 🤯🤯
Please react to Bohemian Rapsody, Daft Punk,
Evolution of Michael Jackson. imagine, Amazing Grace
Bohemian and Daft is dropping soon!
There are no instruments. That's all 100% Kevin the beatboxer. They are an acapella group. Everything you hear is purely them. Great reaction. They have so many amazing songs. Daft Punk, Hallelujah, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Can You Feel The Love Tonight. And they have so many amazing originals too.
not only kevin what about matt the bass. You forget bass and beatboxer is in accapella groups.
There are songs (not many) out there where they DO use instruments - mostly Kevin on Cello or Scott on Piano - but if there are instruments, you will see them in the video.
IMHO, there are no BAD PTX songs. Every one is a masterpiece.
@@Iwonka0081 I didn't intentionally leave out Matt. Jeez I do have memory issues so I very easily forget things. I try to remember but I'm not very good at remembering everything. I didn't mean to leave him out. I love Matt he's phenomenal. And was a really good addition to the group. I didn't mean to offend anyone. I struggle with memory loss.
Sheeesh, insane! 🤯
It is just them! This group sings A cappella (no instruments). You have to hear their classic, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. Written in 1890's by the famous composer Tchaikovsky. It is a classic Christmas Ballet. This group has no instruments and the song has no Lyrics. Pentatonix won a Grammy for it! They just said "Hold My Beer". Outstanding the way they perform it. Subbed for more PTX (short for Pentatonix)
Sheesh they’re amazing!
Dude you are hilarious! I subbed to hear you react to more Pentatonix. You will be amazed at what they do. Thanks for the giggles, I needed that today.
😂😂😂😂 I appreciate that and yeah more content is on the way very soon!
You should check them out live - the official video for “Evolution of Michael Jackson” is live and will blow your mind
Bet bet
They are a complete acapella group. All sounds from their mouths.
Pen - tuh - TAH - niks
Yes...the whole thing is a capella all day long.
Pure a cappella brilliance!! Welcome to the journey!!
Yes, you'll come back. time and time again....
Listen to the live version of this song,and You will see that the their mouths produces the beat.
its acapela... pure voice... no instruments
You should start from the beginning with their time on The Sing Off.
Kevin Olusola (the beat boxer) is brilliant. They are all great!
My two worlds collide!! My fave thing to do is watch reactions to One Direction and Pentatonix! now I can do both with you! Keep up the good work!!! (Do Hallelujah next)
Ayyyye appreciate it and will do!
And this is your first one ever? Oh boy! You're in for a treat.
YES!! NO INSTRUMENTS!! ACAPELLA
They are acapella - they use NO instruments!! Check out their BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY and their DAFT PUNK videos and remember, *no instruments* - your mind will be blown!!!!
Bohemian and Daft punk is dropping soon!
If you truly want to get a vibe for what Pentatonix can do, you'll need to check out a breadth of their tracks. My suggestions include:
* Daft Punk (EDM, Grammy Winner)
* Can't Hold Us (Dance/Rap)
* Hallelujah (Gospel)
* Bohemian Rhapsody (Rock, Brian May shared this track on Twitter when it released)
* Jolene (Country, ft. Dolly Parton, Grammy Winner)
* Mary Did You Know (Xmas)
Daft, Bohemian, and Hallelujah are dropping soon!
Yes. All vocals/a cappella. And beatboxing. This song was written by Simon and Garfunkel in 1965 I believe. Disturbed did a well known cover. Then Pentatonix did it.
Sheeesh their insane!
A capella, their voices are their instruments.
Pentaholic here! It's what we Pentatonix fans call ourselves. Welcome to the rabbit-hole! I hope you keep reacting to PTX, you won't be disappointed and yes, it's all them. No extra instruments. There are some songs that do have instruments, but if it's there you will see it in the video. They aren't trying to hide it. I recommend Hallelujah, it has like 600 million views and it is absolutely amazing. Also, Daft Punk Medley (they won a Grammy for this one), Can't Hold Us-Macklmore and Ryan Lewis cover, Any of their "Evolution of...(Michael Jackson, Music, Arianna Grande, Rhianna)" videos. Honestly though, anything, and I do mean anything you react to by Pentatonix will blow your mind and you won't be disappointed. Thanks for the great reaction and subbed. 💚
Bet bettt thanks for the support and the info! More reactions are on the way!
Charlie and the wonka, lol I’m dying. You’re a riot. I’m watching your whole playlist of reactions to PTX this morning (as you can tell from all my comments so far). You should check out Superfruit which is Scott and Mitch from PTX. You should start with Defying gravity and then their frozen medley because they’re not off their album and then evolution of Beyoncé, Rihanna, Gaga, Miley…. And then move on to their actual album, Guy.exe is the funniest video you’ll ever see and it’s where the TikTok sound, “6ft tall and strong” comes from.
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m glad I can make you laugh lol but bet bet
This a cover of a Simon and Garfunkel song which was released in the 1960's.
The guy in the middle is the baritone and lead singer. The 2nd singer is Mitch. He is a counter tenor. He sings incredibly high. The 3rd singer is Matt, he sings bass. The girl is Kirsten. She is mezzo soprano. The other black guy is Kevin.
He is a beat boxer extraordinaire. He can also sing tenor, rap and play cello.
The instruments you heard, is their voices.
Check out Bohemian Rhapsody, imagine, 90's dance medley, butter x dynamite, and daft punk medley by them.
You are in for a real treat.
Bet bett!
They are very good with all the multiple harmonies...now go to Conan show and watch David Draiman of Disturbed perform this song ....while sick apparently.
cool
Only fair to warn you though, their record label is HECK on copywrite infringement and blocks stuff all the time.... filters, pauses, rewind 5 sec everytime you pause.... still hard to get it through.
Yeah I saw, I’ve been blurring where it’s needed but I’ll try to get through it somehow lol
Pentatonix are the best. Totally amazing talent. I hope you react to some of their other videos. My favorites are Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Or try their Evolution of Michael Jackson or their Evolution of Rihanna. Thanks for the reaction.
Yeah hallelujah, bohemian, and daft punk is dropping very soon!
They are entirely A Capella. No instruments at all. Those percussion sounds you hear? They all come from the guy on the far right. The bass guitar sound? Guy in the white jacket. Every sound is 100% voice. Check out Hallelujah next.
Sheeesh they’re amazing!
They've been together since 2011 with only one member change. That was the bass man. Other members change their looks (hair) a lot, but the only real change was the bass. You should check out their "Evolution of Rhianna", or "Evolution of Ariana Grande"
Gotchu and bet bet will do!
Great reaction! You can't go wrong with PTX,, anything they do is superb quality. I see a lot of recommendations in the comments I'll suggest an original or two, Happy Now, Sing, Love Again, Run to You --- those give an amazingly broad view of the range they do from a slow and dark, emotional undercurrent to a Club Beat you won't believe is a Cappela.
Appreciate you and yeah more pentatonix on the way!
Yes, all with their mouths!!!! Sometimes the beatboxer will play the cello and beatbox at the same time. Please start reacting to more of their songs. Covers and originals!!!!
Holyyy yeah they’re insane!
I had the same reaction as you when I first ran across PTX about four years ago. Had to listen to their version of Hallelujah five times before I could believe that no instruments were being used. They sound orchestral but have no orchestra backing them up. All them. Each member has ridiculous range with Scott Hoying, the tall blond usually on lead having the widest. He can go from mid tenor to deep bass with baritone his most natural register. Mitch Grassi, shorter guy with the mullet in this video, is a natural high tenor but has gone as low as deep baritone on rare occasions. Kevin Olusola, the beat boxer has a beautiful mid to high tenor voice but can drop to mid bass if necessary. Matt Sallee, the regular bass can, also, hit mid tenor if the occasion asks for it. Kirstin Maldonado can hit virtually any female register. They are so versatile that nothing appears out of the question. They can all rap, as well. Matt is an excellent beat boxer who augments Kevin when that is called for. Kevin is one of the very best beat boxers in the entire world. Kevin is, also, a concert cellist and Scott plays piano. When they do play instruments, they display their instruments prominently. Authenticity is very important to them. The integrity of the group comes first and foremost. What you get is what you see. No sleight of hand. Pentatonix is the real deal.
Yeah they shocked me no capppp but appreciate the info!
You definitely need to check out their different evolutions. It is crazy how it’s all just their voices. 🥰
I watched your collection of pentatonix reactions 3 times. Enjoyed it every time. As to what I want you to react to. The answer is simple. All of them. Thank you.
appreciate you for viewing them and will do!

Yeah I reacted to daft punk and Bohemian rhapsody today and I was blown away! Expect the reactions soon!
Seller. Beatboxer is an incredible talent. Yes this all their vocals. You might want to hear their cover of bohemian rhapsody. It's awesome!
Bet bet that is dropping soon!
Next Pentatonix Bohemian Rhapsody Cover 🙏
FYI they have 3 grammys
Ohhh yeah they’re pretty valid!
Yes this is an acapella group
I totally love this band. I agree.. you need to look at more I see a list below and I agree.. also Mary Did You Know... prepare to become a Pentaholic
Bet bet sounds good
Subbed for more PTX - they do so many genres, just have a look at their catalogue and see what songs may be familiar to you and have a listen. They also have some incredible originals.... enjoy the journey!
Ayyye appreciate the support! And will do!
Just them and the human beat box!
All of the percussion is produced by the human beat box brother on the right. Nothing but them. Just them.
Sheeeesh, amazing!
The song is originally by Simon and Garfunkel in case you’re not aware. Pentatonix do a good job.
Yeah they killed this!
There *ARE* no instruments. All sounds coming from them. That's what "a capella" is!
Sheeesh that’s mind blowing!
Another a cappella group you need to check out is Naturally 7. Everything they sing is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
No instruments at all, besides the voice. They are amazing! I loved watching your reaction to them.
Amazing, appreciate you!
Welcome to Acapella world. Deans Blue Hole, ain't got nothing on this hole you just found.
😂😂😂 bet bet I’ll keep that in mind lol
Please also react to their "Daft Punk" for some out of this world beatboxing and bass performance 😎
I reacted to that today and was blown away no cappppp
