Pentaholics (hopelessly addicted Pentatonix fans) live for that bass. Each of these guys are excellent individually. Together they are magnificent. The bass guy in this one went off on his own a few years ago (be SURE you hear "Change On The Rise" by Avi Kaplan.) The new guy, Matt is very good in his own right.
"That bass" Avi Kaplan, has gone solo ~~ you should react to his powerful original Change on the Rise " for starters { people have described it as tribal sounding!! } ! I love the wonderful talents of PTX!
Welcome to the Pentatonix (PTX for short) rabbit hole. FYI...their crazy loyal fans are dubbed Pentaholics 😁. Loved your reaction! Crazy talented a capella group that has been together since 2011 when they won Season 3 of the Sing Off. FYI....the guy with the beard is Avi Kaplan (the bass) left the group in 2017 and Matt Sallee (new bass) has joined the group. You'll see him in newer videos. They've won 3 Grammys to date and are continuously touring the world performing sold out concerts for fans everywhere. Please react to their Daft Punk Medley (this won them their 1st Grammy). You will seriously be blown away. They have amazing covers and original music. The list is huge. Another of my favourites is their cover of New Rules x Are You That Somebody (Matt is in this one) so extremely polished and it's complete fire 🔥
@@PowerfulReactions Haha thanks! I recommend Imagine, Mary Did You Know, If I Ever Fall In Love (ft Jason Derulo), and Grinch. That should be a good mix for you. Also, with Christmas coming up, That's Christmas To Me is a really beautiful song and video with a bunch of home videos of all the members as kids.
You will be amazed with their live version side by side...they are almost the same (Scott the first singer changes his riff a little in the live) but the rest is just the same and you have to remind yourself it is live!
@@louellamoyer5578 Scott and Mitch always sound the most different live...not because their voices are any different live, but because they tend to change their intonation quite a bit depending on their mood.
Welcome to Pentatonix. I agree, this one is phenomenal. I would suggest you to listen to their other videos especially their version of Bohemian Rhapsody. They will blow your mind. Cool reactions btw. Keep 'em coming! 🤗
I never thought about it, but the name definitely would fit with Asterix and Obelix. In actuality, it is named after the pentatonic scale. Thanks for reacting to this. They have quite a few great songs they have covered, along with a few originals. They do have some live performances and don't do anything in a video that they don't also do live.
When Avi sings, Scott does the bass. Scott has an insane range. This is true for Matt, too. When Matt sings in "Sound of Silence", Scott does the bass.
Handsome guy, glad to have you in PTX, on the way to becoming a Pentaholic. I have followed them since 2013 and have never been disappointed. I liked and Subscribed, look forward to your next PTX video. There will be SOOOO Many suggestions, so grab a pen and jot them down. If you react to Aha - Singapore Star Vista, I would suggest you do it as a double feature and do the Official Video first and then the Live version. Also, Before too long, Drop all the way back to 2011 when they first came on as a group on the show The Sing Off Season 3. You will get to see them from the very beginning and see how scared and nervous and unsure they were, then you will realize just how amazing they have become. See you soon!
Ah, the a capella rabbit hole has opened! PTX has many great songs I'm sure others will mention, but I will bring up two other great a capella groups. Home Free and VoicePlay. A lot of mind-blowing music between the three groups
Long story that you will be drawn into that begins in 2011. You can actually see their very first performances together because they formed for a tv show competition called the Sing-Off. Only for a capella groups. A good simple song that demonstrates the band's technique is a cover of Gold by Kiiara. I would also recommend Imagine by John Lennon and then either Daft Punk or Bohemian Rhapsody or Evolution of Michael Jackson. Oh big issue - no studio aftereffects or layering. They sound exactly the same way standing in front of a live audience. You can get a video of Hallelujah performed live and compare if you like.
Ok. Looks like your going down the PTX rabbit hole. Now you have a new subscriber! I love your appreciation of a cappella group. They are insanely talented.
Pentaholics are super protective of Mitch. That solo is amazing and you talked over it. Pentaholics would much rather you pause than talk over them singing. I'm so glad I watched your Bohemian Rhapsody video first. I really liked that reaction a lot.
Thanks for this reaction. Always love to see other people hearing and seeing PTX for the first time... always great... obviously your next reactions of PTX should be „Sound of silence“, „Daft Punk“, „Bohemian Rhapsody“, „Imagine“ and „Mary did you know“, but because you were talking about their studio work and mixing up the layers, i would suggest you to listen to the live version of „Halleluja“ for a better understanding of PTXs philosophy, „Never do something in studio, what we cannot hold on stage“. If you then have seen this live version from their christmas special, you will definitely listen to their other songs from another sight... believe me...
@@Spaceydoodle I'm still unpacking my best friend's apartment but we are trying to pace ourselves. I know I'll have a can't get out of bed relapse soon, but the good thing is I can catch up on reactions. Lol How are you?
So glad you've discovered PTX. Their classic and not-to-be-missed song is Bohemian Rhapsody, but you will love virtually anything by them. In the meantime, don't forget about Dimash either!
If you want more lower notes then react Peter Hollens & Tim Foust "Misty Mountains" , Home Free & Avi Kaplan "Ring of Fire", VoicePlay "Oogie Boogie's Song" :)
@@PowerfulReactions I would recommend AHA Singapore the Star Vista, it showcases Mitch and Avi. It's a fancam but good, and Mitch just nails this performance, it is must better than the production video.
In this video and for the first 6 years of their existence, Avi Kaplan was their bass. We all have our likes and dislikes, but I only listen to PTX when Avi was with them.
Some of the things they do now are quite good but Avi's voice is unique so I understand. Probably Russian Octavist his ethnic background he said in one interview was Russian Jewish
That would be kind of insulting to Avi since he’s the one that suggested Matt to replace him.. I love listening to Avi on his channel and I love listening to PTX too. They are both fantastic and happy and supportive of each other...
@@mariebrady8475actually that appears to be a rumor about Avi suggesting Matt. Also my preference has nothing to do with "insulting Pentatonix". Avi's sister remained as their tour manager after he left for a couple of years. I prefer original music and Avi is a songwriter. Everything he does (with a couple of exceptions done as encores) and Lean On Me which he recorded and released during quarantine are original.
This is the original group before Matt replaced Avi Kaplan who is the bass in pre-2017 videos like this one. The 2011-2017 PTX won 3 Grammys in that time. No other acapella group has won any. They won their first Grammy for Daft Punk medley, their second for The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy (a 2 minute 20 second instrumental with no instruments and no words), and their third for a collaboration with Dolly Pardon on Jolene. What should you listen to next... Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk, Can't Hold Us, Sing, Mary Did You Know, and Imagine. Then go to post-2017 (Matt) for Sound Of Silence, Havana, and Amazing Grace. Finally for some of their original work try Run To You and Love Again.
There was not a lot of production work aside from balancing and cleaning. If you listen to them do this song live, it sounds very much the same. They make it a point to record their songs so that they can perform them live and have the same sound for their fans. Welcome to Pentatonix and being a Pentaholic!
I have watched their video and reactions to their video so many times. You are quite interesting and entertaining. I enjoyed watching this reaction. I enjoyed the video yet again through your.......ears? 🙂
Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel), "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).
If you liked that one, you should hear Daft Punk and Bohemian Rhapsody. I think these are the best 3 they have done to date. I really enjoy their songs that have Avi as the bass. While Matt is a fantastic bass and has done a great job replacing Avi, Avi is something special. You can really hear it in this song when Scott takes over the bass part while Avi is singing his solo (2nd solo in this song), the bass part becomes a little less powerful. Then when Avi is done with his solo and goes back to singing bass, the bass part becomes more powerful again. You can also hear him and Tim Faust (another strong bass singer) in the video by Home Free covering Johnny Cash's song "Ring of Fire".
Very nice reaction....do "Bohemian Rhapsody" and you will then be an official PENTAHOLIC !! Enjoy the ride (keep in mind that they are strictly Acapella...no instruments).
Headphones always with PTX...always...The live version sounds the same...give it a listen. 5 people create a wall of sound they are amazing!! They have several originals as well. They always put their spin on what they do. Bot are you in for a surprise when you listen to them live and hear the exact sound..They create the layers.live.That is why they are simply the best at what they do. Fun reaction thanks!
Here are my favorites by Pentatonix: Carol of the Bells (Christmas) (14 November 2012) Daft Punk Medley (4 November 2013 Grammy winner) Mary, Did You Know? (Christmas) (11 November 2014) Hallelujah (Christmas) (21 October 2016) Bohemian Rhapsody (7 April 2017) Matt replaces Avi as bass (22 June 2017) Havana (23 February 2018) The Sound of Silence (15 February 2019) Can you feel the love tonight? (23 August 2019) Blinding Lights (1 July 2020) Dreams (22 July 2020) TYTY .....
I really enjoyed the reaction! Some of the songs I would suggest I'm sure other people have also but two of my favorite are Mary did you know and daft punk. I'm sure you'll enjoy many of the songs of Pentatonix has put out!!
Great reaction! I’d love to see you react to their daft punk medley. It’s almost completely opposite of this. They do everything live. They are really big on being able to do everything they release live. :)
Avi Kaplan is the original bass singer. He is from California and Kevin Olusola is from Kentucky. Avi they found because he was very well known in the acapella community and had toured in Australia and I think Europe with different groups. Kevin they found through a video he put up on RUclips playing his cello and beatboxing at the same time. The other 3 were in the same high school in Texas.
I love them soooooo much! It’s the best Hallelujah I’ve EVER heard!!! Professor, you need to react the song «First Noel» from Pentatonix! This song comes second for me after Hallelujah. Please, react it 🙏🏻❤️
I'm not sure what you mean by so many different layers of actual recordings. There are five, one for each of them. There are no drums or other instruments. Just the five of them. They refer to themselves as a band and to each other as bandmates. I recommend Daft Punk, Bohemian Rhapsody, or Can You Feel the Love Tonight? If you want to hear some their original songs, try Run to You, Happy Now, or Light in the Hallway.
Thank you for this reaction! Please follow this up with their rendition of "Imagine" there was rarely a better year for this. Cudos for the Asterix idea at the start, I had to laugh, I did not spot that :)
You cant go wrong with any song you pick from PTX. But I will suggest Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine or Mad World. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
You need to listen to the live version. There isn’t any technical magic going on in the background. That’s all them. There aren’t any drums. It’s all done either vocally or beat boxing.
Most of your reaction I liked. I did not like like you talking over them while they were singing, but I thought i child handle it until you were talking so loudly over Mitchs solo. Most people are too stunned on a first time listen when he is singing. Sorry its just ny opinion but while listen to the music, I just would rather you pause if you have something to say.
The Bass, Avi Kaplan, is currently haine a nice solo career. You should try Change on the Rise, it's really an amazing and powerful song.... Bisous de France 😉
Hi👋🏼 Mr J sent me here. I hope you are Gerhard (not sure how to spell it) If you are I hope to see you on Sunday at the next live stream. It will be my first, finally, I’ve been binge watching the livestreams and can’t wait to meet you all. Anyway, new sub for PTX. 🤗💋🥰
Enjoyed your reaction to this incredible group. Great video! Love this group! Why did the video image disappear and sound skip several times? Very distracting!
Well hey "Johnny the Philosopher" Don't sing along with them because you are out of tune(I'm sure about that, lol) Your reaction was ok enough for me to subscribe, so there's potential for improvement😊. You will be visited by many more Pentaholics if you continue to react to more of their videos (And there is a very substantial amount of both). Could you react to their first Grammy winner: "Daft Punk"?
If you watch the live version, pay close attention to Scott (the blond guy) who sings bass when Avi (the famous bass singer) sings his solo part. ruclips.net/video/haFHrfmfHbc/видео.html
Great reaction!! You talked about music connecting to humanity - "Imagine" is the one for you! Also, here is an article from one of their talented sound engineers that talks about exactly how they approach the production of their music :-) www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-pentatonix After "Imagine" try one of their Evolution videos....one-take, live, they'll blow.you away. There are several, just pick one that you like the artist whose songs they feature :-) Thanks again!

Avi Kaplan has one of the most gorgeous voices , solid and rich throughout his wide range.
Pentaholics (hopelessly addicted Pentatonix fans) live for that bass. Each of these guys are excellent individually. Together they are magnificent.
The bass guy in this one went off on his own a few years ago (be SURE you hear "Change On The Rise" by Avi Kaplan.) The new guy, Matt is very good in his own right.
I adore their 'Mary did you know'))) It's awesome!!!!
"That bass" Avi Kaplan, has gone solo ~~ you should react to his powerful original Change on the Rise " for starters { people have described it as tribal sounding!! } ! I love the wonderful talents of PTX!
Totalmente agreee
Can't hold us, Love Again, Daft Punk, Imagine, and Bohemian Rhapsody are some of my faves. Glad you found them.
This song has Avi Kaplan as the bass. Hes an original member. He left in 2017 and was replaced by Matt.
Avi cant ever be replaced. I love Avi, and PTX is not the sam.
@@panduhemic2787 matt is good, but after avi left i dont listen to them anymore
@@daniel-oc9hp Nor do I. I just follow and listen to Avi, since he went solo.
that wonderful bass was avi kaplan he is the second singer long hair and beard.and beyond sexy. he left in 2017 replaced by matt
One of the most beautiful bass voices singing today. Change on the Rise. Chains, It Knows Me, and then everything else he does. Love his work!!

The Sound of Silence! New Rules x Ae You That Somebody? Daft Punk Medley. Good ones to start with...
Absolutely love Pentatonix! They have the best cover for Bohemian Rhapsody!
Avi Kaplan went solo, his It knows me is wonderful!!
The second singer is the bass singer Avi.
more Pentatonix please....."Bohemian Rhapsody"......"Can't Hold Us"......."Daft Punk Medley"......"Evolution of Michael Jackson".

I agree - Avi (PTX), Tim (Home Free) and Geoff (Voiceplay) are the best bass singers ! 😊
It is Halloween... Look up Voiceplay's cover of Oogie Boogie Song and This is Halloween.
That Wall Of Sound from the four of the vocalists is amazing! At the end Avi sang a Bb 3rd ledger-space bass clef!

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel), "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Ring of Fire" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).
If you liked that one, you should hear Daft Punk and Bohemian Rhapsody. I think these are the best 3 they have done to date. I really enjoy their songs that have Avi as the bass. While Matt is a fantastic bass and has done a great job replacing Avi, Avi is something special. You can really hear it in this song when Scott takes over the bass part while Avi is singing his solo (2nd solo in this song), the bass part becomes a little less powerful. Then when Avi is done with his solo and goes back to singing bass, the bass part becomes more powerful again. You can also hear him and Tim Faust (another strong bass singer) in the video by Home Free covering Johnny Cash's song "Ring of Fire".

Ok, last PTX reaction, then i HAVE to get ready for work...5 PTX reactions later...
Avi Kaplan is the original bass singer. He is from California and Kevin Olusola is from Kentucky. Avi they found because he was very well known in the acapella community and had toured in Australia and I think Europe with different groups.
Kevin they found through a video he put up on RUclips playing his cello and beatboxing at the same time.
The other 3 were in the same high school in Texas.
I love them soooooo much! It’s the best Hallelujah I’ve EVER heard!!! Professor, you need to react the song «First Noel» from Pentatonix! This song comes second for me after Hallelujah. Please, react it 🙏🏻❤️
They do this song live too, sounds the same!

❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this reaction! Please follow this up with their rendition of "Imagine" there was rarely a better year for this. Cudos for the Asterix idea at the start, I had to laugh, I did not spot that :)
😂🤘👌👍
Mary did you know, next pls!
Best name you got there 😎🤘👌
I just came here for this. 7:53
Never again man. Nope
You cant go wrong with any song you pick from PTX. But I will suggest Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine or Mad World. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
That's Avi...
You need to listen to the live version. There isn’t any technical magic going on in the background. That’s all them. There aren’t any drums. It’s all done either vocally or beat boxing.
Check out their Daft Punk medly, I want to see your mind blown.
Listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Sound Of Silence and Mad World. All excellent!
Most of your reaction I liked. I did not like like you talking over them while they were singing, but I thought i child handle it until you were talking so loudly over Mitchs solo. Most people are too stunned on a first time listen when he is singing. Sorry its just ny opinion but while listen to the music, I just would rather you pause if you have something to say.
The Bass, Avi Kaplan, is currently haine a nice solo career. You should try Change on the Rise, it's really an amazing and powerful song....
Bisous de France 😉
Hi👋🏼 Mr J sent me here. I hope you are Gerhard (not sure how to spell it) If you are I hope to see you on Sunday at the next live stream. It will be my first, finally, I’ve been binge watching the livestreams and can’t wait to meet you all. Anyway, new sub for PTX. 🤗💋🥰
Enjoyed your reaction to this incredible group. Great video! Love this group! Why did the video image disappear and sound skip several times? Very distracting!
Radioactive - Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix, it's a really great cover : )
You should check out their sound of silence or their bohemian rhapsody that took them 5 yrs to perfect
Try their two new originals, Happy Now and Be My Eyes.
Mad World and Sound of Silence are good ones to do next
You would enjoy Bohemian Rhapsody
Well hey "Johnny the Philosopher" Don't sing along with them because you are out of tune(I'm sure about that, lol) Your reaction was ok enough for me to subscribe, so there's potential for improvement😊. You will be visited by many more Pentaholics if you continue to react to more of their videos (And there is a very substantial amount of both). Could you react to their first Grammy winner: "Daft Punk"?
If you watch the live version, pay close attention to Scott (the blond guy) who sings bass when Avi (the famous bass singer) sings his solo part. ruclips.net/video/haFHrfmfHbc/видео.html
Great reaction!! You talked about music connecting to humanity - "Imagine" is the one for you! Also, here is an article from one of their talented sound engineers that talks about exactly how they approach the production of their music :-)

After "Imagine" try one of their Evolution videos....one-take, live, they'll blow.you away. There are several, just pick one that you like the artist whose songs they feature :-) Thanks again!
If you liked this . . . check out the wedding at Disneyland of the couple who had PTX sing this for their special event. ruclips.net/video/x7xdkTj806A/видео.html
great reactions, subbed, do daft punk
If you like the bass singer..Avi kaplan. His song change on the rise. Please
You should react to First Defeat by Noah Gundersen (Live on KEXP)
Man did you mess up the ending. The beautiful humming.
I think its great 😂😂😂😂
Moin meister
Wait till you get Mitch slapped Mitch is the guy in the big hat and he can sing 6 octaves
I had to click and see if this would be hallelujah or bohemian rhapsody because the text and picture didn't match haha
You dissed Mitch. Huge mistake, huge!
You should do some vocal training .. just your speaking voice is baritone .. I bet you could get down to bass if you tried 😍
I only subscribed because you’re cute. 😂🤷♂️
