That's what happens when Mitch has jet jag and a few red bulls! There is another video from the same concert doing Lady Gaga's Telephone. I think you would enjoy it as well! Love your reactions!✌️❤️🇨🇦
PTX has an official video of their cover of Imogene Heap's "Aha!," but it isn't nearly as dynamic as this live performance. Congrats on recognizing that Avi is destroying his speakers after that remarkable low note. What isn't as obvious is our usually shy Mitch, high on Red Bulls, going completely drama queen. This is way out of character for him, but the audience is loving it. It's Pentatonix unleashed! Not great audio quality or visual technique, so you need to be familiar with the talent you are witnessing to grasp the significance of the shredding sound system and Mitch crawling on the stage. Oh, to have been there! This is an historic PTX moment. So great that you appreciate why it is treasured by Pentaholics. 🙂
Mitch was absolutely on fire that night! When he crawled on his knees to the front of the stage, I'd bet that half the front row peed themselves... 🤣 One thing I always notice is that everyone is so blown away by those epic high notes they forget the beautiful little run he does right before that. He was spot-on perfect in that performance.
I read on another Video that Mitch was actually jet-lagged and drank 2 Red-Bulls back-to-back dueing a break. And when they kicked in he just went crazy
Everyone is blown away by this. Mitch was jetlagged and on several red bulls apparently! The studio version of this cover is good but this live version is out of this world particularly for Avi and Mitch but the others back them up perfectly too. Avi did blow the speakers with this one (quite a common occurrence!).
Honestly, a reactor zoning out and forgetting that they are reacting is the BEST reaction!!! I love it when a reactor just stares with their jaw dropped to the floor while listening to this group. I think it's the best compliment you can give them!
Mitch has unbeliveable vocal control. To a level where the rest of the group always comment on it. All of them have control on the top of singers game, but Mitch is even a level above that with the skill. Matt said he sometimes stops to laugh on stage because mitch is so consistent. "its not human" he said. Im not even one of the biggest mitch stans but anyone who cannot acknowledge this is lying to themselves. And he makes it look so easy. Just fiddling around with his hair!
They sing that song at every concert (except Christmas tours). It's one of the fans favorites. ❤ You should watch the music video. It's entertaining. 🙂 And you hear Avi's overtone singing.
I agree! I first watched the official video of this and didn't really appreciate it until someone pointed out that Avi was doing the overtones on it. This video you can't really hear it, but it's very apparent in the official video. Just be sure you watch clear to the end of the video for the surprise ending.
Great reaction! A couple things about this. During the prior song, Kevin was sitting center stage playing cello and beatboxing. They added the choral piece to give him a chance to put away his cello. You can see the large space between Kirstie and Mitch. During Avi's solo, Mitch moved closer to Kirstie, Scott followed him and Kevin came back onstage next to Scott. So he was there for all of Aha!, Too bad the person recording this was so focused on Mitch, because it feels weird not to see all of them, and without all of Kevin's crazy beats and whooshes and rattles, this would not be nearly as epic!
The official video while not quite as Mitch central is stunning as you can really hear the intricacies of everyone's part. Both are amazing in their own right.
I also love seeing Mitch bring attitude to the stage! I highly recommend reacting to some of Mitch's solo stuff under the name Messer. His first song Machine is a good one to start with. The music videos for those are full of attitude and much more avant garde.
The fan that posted this song recorded the entire concert! They were really all on 🔥🔥🔥 that night! Can you imagine being part of that audience? Great reaction! Thank you!
@@bethvargas8841 yes! Just search the name "Shane Nicole" and it should all pop up as a "Pentatonix - Star Vista" file. I think there are like 18 videos - it's the *whole* concert! Let me know if you have any problems.
Yes! You can get her playlist. I watched all of them because I figured if they were this hot that night on this song they must have been for the rest of the concert as well. And I was not disappointed!
Imogen Heap’s original version of this is just terrific! I first got to know it when it was used in a dance routine on So You Think You Can Dance (you can find it on YT), and tracked down the album it was on at the library to listen to more of her work. A year or so later was when PTX covered it on their first EP, and I geeked out over them improving on an already fantastic song.
So glad you survived this one! We're all so thankful there was someone there to record it for us. One request for you. Because there are people who are seeing the videos you are reacting to for the very first time, just as you are, I hope that you will consider stopping the video whenever you have anything to say and then rewind it back 10 seconds before starting it up again. When you talk over the singing, you miss some really amazing moments. It also means that first time listener is also missing those same moments because they're trying to listen to you. Thank you for considering this request & point of view.
I was SOOOOO excited to see that you had finally reacted to this one. This isn't a Mitch-slap, this one is BEYOND a Mitch-slap. This is a Mitch-PUNCH. And it is glorious. The story is that Mitch was REALLY jet-lagged, so he drank three Red Bulls before going on stage. And this legendary performance was the result. You HAVE to react to their 'Daft Punk'. It's... Well, it got them the first grammy ever given to an Acapella group. I'd also really like you to react to 'Sing', it's an original song of theirs and a favorite of mine. As for new artists, Pentatonix did a collaboration with Lindsey Stirling - Imagin Dragon's ''Radioactive'. You really need to check that out, it's amazing. Hopefully, you'll like it enough to check out some of Lindsey's stuff, because I really think you'll love it. She did a song called 'Shatter Me' with Lzzy Hale from Halestorm. Based on what you've liked to date, you'll adore that. Also, Avi from Pentatonix has been doing some incredible solo work. I'd love to see you react to one of his songs, 'Change On The Rise'. Okay, so I watch a lot of different reactors, because I wander around RUclips looking for people reacting my favorite artists. I have a rule that if I go back to check out a reactor's channel more than twice, I subscribe. Well, I actually subscribed to you from the first one I saw, which is unusual. Watching you react feels like hanging out with a friend. I know that that might sound odd, but there's something about how you do your reactions that honestly feels less like I'm watching a RUclips channel and more like I'm just chilling on the couch with someone I"ve known for ages. I'm honestly convinced that we would be friends. lol. More than that, you have knowledge of music and you share that without pretense. Rather than getting a lecture, it's more like a friend saying 'hey, did you know...?'. I don't mind the reactors who give you a full lecture, I actually like them quite a bit. Still, I really enjoy your down-to-earth way of going about it. So, yeah. Loving the channel, man, and I'm looking forward to more.
Geogiana You are the sweetest person ever! 🥺This may be the nicest compliment I have ever received! I feel like thanking you for subscribing is just not enough! You are a treasure and I thank you for taking the time to join my community! ❤
There’s a video of them doing this song live during a stream, it’s great because you really get to see clearly what everyone is doing throughout the song. This performance is hard to beat but the sound is a bit wonky (thanks, Avi) and it’s just focused in on Mitch.
Great reaction! I never get sick of real reactions to this performance, which was so extra special. The official video of this song is much tamer. Mitch Said something I can't remember verbatim, but it was along the lines of that singing this live in concert night after night, he evolved the way he performed it. I should say performs it, since this is still a go-to song on their set lists.
Ohh...we have more astounding Mitch slapping for you yet!! Defying Gravity from the Broadway play Wicked is another astounding Mitch showcase and so is his cover of Your Power ( Billie Eilish cover). If you want to check out Defying Gravity, I suggest doing a little googling of the play beforehand so that you grok what the play and the song is about. I've seen a few reactors becoming frustrated because they had no clue what was going on and who the characters were.
yeah Defying Gravity by Superfruit (Mitch and Scott) he hits a high G which is a step higher than the normal high note for the song which is a high F. On this one they had just landed after a long flight and Mitch chugged 2 red bulls and had a buzz lol
No worries❤️ I'm sure we were all sucked in when we first watched this! Imagine being in the venue and close to the stage ...WOW!! And they are never long enough!! Great reaction!
You should try some more of their originals. Be My Eyes, Sing, Run To You, Love Me When I Don't, Coffee In Bed and especially the 2016 Popspring concert which has 3 good originals (the last one, Water, is absolutely beautiful) and The Evolution Of Michael Jackson.
lol I’m commenting even before it starts-I cannot wait for you to experience this. I can literally disassociate to this song on repeat it’s otherworldly and almost beyond comprehension. Avi and Mitch together are wild. (And if you look at avi kaplan, he’s still making music and also does wild and incredible things with the depth of his voice.)
I can feel your excitement when you are about to see a new one from PTX haha. I've seen the mv of the OG of Imogen Heap; never had the interest to watch it again lol. This is really fire. The vocal arrangement is awesome
You survived! Great reaction! They do have an official video for this song, but the Singapore Live version is everyone's favorite, even tho the video and sound quality isn't perfect. Long before the official video, or this concert tour, they did release a livestream version (apartment living room from the couch) where you actually get to see and hear Kevin and Avi, too! You don't haven't to react to it, but to actually see and hear what each one is singing is just *WOW* ! For fun! ruclips.net/video/8r3B9j2WF0k/видео.html
Hah! You've found it! We've been waiting for this one. (At some point you should also react to the official video of their cover of the song; it's incredibly creepy.) This one is right up there with "Bohemian Rhapsody" for Mitch slaps, but my favorite part is the way the sound system goes progressively downhill during Mitch's solo, because Avi is still singing low notes into his microphone, and speaker after speaker is blowing out.
LOVE love love how you got completely lost in the music/moment as Mitch and Avi were blowing your mind. I have the same feeling every time I see this. Great reaction- and good job surviving with your mind intact. It is definitely worth watching the official recorded version of Pentatonix AHA! as well. It's very cinematic! Another great live show snippet is the Popspring 2016 performance- you'll love it, once you've caught your breath. Thanks so much, TYLR Reacts!
I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!!!! The ultimate Mitch slap. We knew you would love it. I personally don’t care if you call be Bro or Dude. Just call me…🤭 Never long enough.
The story is that Mitch was jet lagged so he'd drunk two Red Bulls shortly bofore to compensate; arguably Mitch should *never* drink more than one Red Bull at a time. So the sugar and caffeine kicked in at the very beginning of this solo, and he goes totally hyperactive in his high range. This was a fan video, and you're right about how well done it was. The sound quality isn't the fault of the fan or the phone the fan used; it's accurate. You can blame Avi for the sound quality; he was systematically destroying the Star Vista's speakers. The one thing the fan *didn't* catch was Kevin; most reactors are like "Wait! Where is Kevin?!" The answer is that Kevin was there, just not at the beginning of the video when the fan showed the entire stage. Kevin had just done a cello demonstration, so he needed to put Beyoncé (his cello) back in her case. At the beginning, where they're singing that classical stuff, they're filling up time until Kevin can get back. When Avi sees Kevin coming, he starts singing the low notes, his part in "Aha!," and the camera is focused on him for a bit (as it should be). Then he goes *really* low and the first speaer blows out; the Red Bulls cut in and Mitch starts his solo; and the camera switches to Mitch. But Mitch isn't in the same place he was earlier - he's moved closer to Kirstin, and Scott is closer to Mitch, because at the same time as Avi began singing his part of "Aha!" Mitch and Scott had moved over to make room for Kevin.
I think to keep the mind-blowing Mitch theme then Gold should be next. Also Popspring 2016 (mini concert), would be great, it has 3 awesome originals & the evolution of Michael Jackson. Interestingly, their studio version of Aha! is a little different - not as epic, it's still good though, and the vid cracks me up everytime - it was done for Halloween. He absolutely went off here, partly due to the 2 redbulls & coffee he'd had before the show. I'm glad you waited to be at a point you could appreciate it fully. I believe Avi wrecked the speakers during this show. Not the first or last time, it's usually more sudden though rather than gradual like it seemed here.
I just found this video, so I haven't seen what youve reacted to previously other than what you mention here at only 6.5 minutes in, but have you reacted to their cover of Video Killed the Radio Star they did for the tv acapella contest they won? That one, Daft Punk and Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy always wow me
You should check out the official video of this song so that you can clearly hear the awesome and intricate bass part. This phone recording just can't capture it. Also you can clearly hear everyone else as well. It's really quite the arrangement.
I really wish a high quality recording of this could surface so we could hear all the notes we apparently just cant even know about not being in person
Awesome reaction! 😃I do think you should watch the official video, for sure. It almost seems like a different song, probably because of the sound quality of this live recording, but it's an interesting video that you would not expect from PTX. Would love to see you react to it. ruclips.net/video/qxY9qkfZMI8/видео.html
I told you!!! Remember, this was live. No fixing tone or anything. They truly are amazing. There is a video out for this song that is really interesting ruclips.net/video/qxY9qkfZMI8/видео.html
Mitch is his Red Bull fueled awesome self but Scott and Kirstin doing all the syncopated background parts, with Kevin just going off, is hard to do in a studio environment where you can do it over and adjust things electronically in mixing. The difficulty of doing this live is about a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. Crowd noise, sound delays (just a fact with sound traveling through cords and wi-fi) the adrenaline of being in front of a crowd, and anything else that can happen live, this is a whole other level talent and discipline. If any of them get off track or off beat doing this song it could turn into a train wreck in a hurry. I don't think there are too many people, outside of these special five, that could do this and do it that well.
This is undeniably great (except the quality of this video is pretty bad), but I still love their video of the campfire story---Kirsten is really spooky and she shows off her acting abilities. Did you do a reaction to their Can't Hold Us and I missed it?
The problem with the video is Avi’s blown speaker. The song really needs that bass balance going back and forth, almost like a battle between Mitch and Avi. With that said, what a damn awesome video, I love watching reactors do this song.
Actually, Imogene Heap, is great on this song and PTX is very close to her original. One of the covers that I actually really enjoyed finding the original after first hearing the song from PTX.
![[REACTION] BINI performs "No Fear" LIVE on the Wish USA Bus](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/2X-AQHc2JG0/mqdefault.jpg)
Ooo Mitch in jet lag and 3 Red Bulls.
Avi's bass actually did take out the venue's speakers and just left the speakers that Pentatonix brought.
Mitch is certainly the well deserved star but you've gotta give props to Avi for that speaker-busting bass!
Some of my favorite beatboxing from Kevin on this one too
This is Mitch: The Prayer
This is Mitch with jet lag and 2 Red Bulls: Aha! Live in Singapore at the Star Vista
That's what happens when Mitch has jet jag and a few red bulls! There is another video from the same concert doing Lady Gaga's Telephone. I think you would enjoy it as well! Love your reactions!✌️❤️🇨🇦
I think the Fly Shooter video on PTXperience was from that same 24-hr period! Hilarious ...
PTX has an official video of their cover of Imogene Heap's "Aha!," but it isn't nearly as dynamic as this live performance. Congrats on recognizing that Avi is destroying his speakers after that remarkable low note. What isn't as obvious is our usually shy Mitch, high on Red Bulls, going completely drama queen. This is way out of character for him, but the audience is loving it. It's Pentatonix unleashed! Not great audio quality or visual technique, so you need to be familiar with the talent you are witnessing to grasp the significance of the shredding sound system and Mitch crawling on the stage. Oh, to have been there! This is an historic PTX moment. So great that you appreciate why it is treasured by Pentaholics. 🙂
Mitch was absolutely on fire that night! When he crawled on his knees to the front of the stage, I'd bet that half the front row peed themselves... 🤣

Thar run blows my mind. It's absolutely gorgeous!
I read on another Video that Mitch was actually jet-lagged and drank 2 Red-Bulls back-to-back dueing a break. And when they kicked in he just went crazy
@@deadinside1170 Definitely part of the legend that makes the Star Vista performance an all time favorite with one of the greatest Mitch slaps ever.
Ok. You simply must listen to,Superfruit doing defying gravity from Wicked. Mitch slays
Everyone is blown away by this. Mitch was jetlagged and on several red bulls apparently! The studio version of this cover is good but this live version is out of this world particularly for Avi and Mitch but the others back them up perfectly too. Avi did blow the speakers with this one (quite a common occurrence!).
Jet lag plus 2 Red Bulls = the best performance from Mitch. I think this is better than the recorded version.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🫶🏻🫶🏻
You’ve graduated 🎉🎉

Did you noticed the start of a smile at the very end. He knew he hit it!
Honestly, a reactor zoning out and forgetting that they are reacting is the BEST reaction!!! I love it when a reactor just stares with their jaw dropped to the floor while listening to this group. I think it's the best compliment you can give them!
Tyler: Mitch, come in have mercy on my soul!
Mitch:🗣️
Tyler:🤯
Mitch has unbeliveable vocal control. To a level where the rest of the group always comment on it. All of them have control on the top of singers game, but Mitch is even a level above that with the skill. Matt said he sometimes stops to laugh on stage because mitch is so consistent. "its not human" he said. Im not even one of the biggest mitch stans but anyone who cannot acknowledge this is lying to themselves. And he makes it look so easy. Just fiddling around with his hair!

@@rfiliagaful thank you so much! Happy new year
A fun song that really features Kirsty is The Wizard of Ahhhs by Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix. Lots of fun.
Mitchy came out of womb with high notes. I have watched Aha so many times and I'm always amazed.
The official video of this is pretty cool too, make sure you watch all the way to the end though. Great reaction.

YES Avi's solo work PLEASE!!!!!!!

Watch the Hollywood Bowl performance to see that it’s actually Scott hitting that high note in the bridge section
LOL, losing yourself in the performance is a reaction, too. I think all pentaholics have been there at one time or another. Welcome to the club.
Anyone reacting to this who doesn't groove with Mitch, I fast forward 😂
yeah Defying Gravity by Superfruit (Mitch and Scott) he hits a high G which is a step higher than the normal high note for the song which is a high F. On this one they had just landed after a long flight and Mitch chugged 2 red bulls and had a buzz lol
No worries❤️ I'm sure we were all sucked in when we first watched this! Imagine being in the venue and close to the stage ...WOW!! And they are never long enough!! Great reaction!
You seem so enthralled with the acting. Remember that Scott, Mitch and Kirstie all started with musical theater..
You should try some more of their originals. Be My Eyes, Sing, Run To You, Love Me When I Don't, Coffee In Bed and especially the 2016 Popspring concert which has 3 good originals (the last one, Water, is absolutely beautiful) and The Evolution Of Michael Jackson.
I couldn't understand ANY of it the first time I heard it, but still blown away. Had to go to the official video to actually hear the lyrics
lol I’m commenting even before it starts-I cannot wait for you to experience this. I can literally disassociate to this song on repeat it’s otherworldly and almost beyond comprehension. Avi and Mitch together are wild. (And if you look at avi kaplan, he’s still making music and also does wild and incredible things with the depth of his voice.)

I think that part you don't know what UT is is a syncopated rhythm. Very cool.
The high voice, once you see it, they call it Mitch slapped.
You survived! Great reaction! They do have an official video for this song, but the Singapore Live version is everyone's favorite, even tho the video and sound quality isn't perfect.

Yes!! You need to check out them doing " Telephone " Live at the Star Vista
This PTX video is one of my favorites!! Thanks for a fun reaction!
I always love your reactions to Pentatonix. They are the best. I love Mitch.!!!!
You should def watch the studio version of this song now! It's such a different experience and it's a cool video 🙂
The original is by imogen heap who is one of Mitch’s biggest influences
Hah! You've found it! We've been waiting for this one. (At some point you should also react to the official video of their cover of the song; it's incredibly creepy.)

How did I miss this one? I'm so glad you got to hear it.
FINALLY!!! YAY! I hope you buckled up for this one because Mitch & Avi are out of this world in this one!
Go check out the official video of this. It will help understand the story and the words!
I’ve been waiting for you to do this one!!!! The ultimate Mitch slap. We knew you would love it. I personally don’t care if you call be Bro or Dude. Just call me…🤭 Never long enough.
This is Mitch on two Red Bulls. 😂
While this is the most watched of the Singapore Star Vista performances, they are all great. You can find them all just by typing PTX Star Vista.
Recommend their official video of Aha. Creepy.
Great reaction video!
The original is from Imogen heap
Pentatonic in the crowd yell to Mich to hold the pause as long as he can
You became enthralled!!!!
This is one that’s definitely worth checking out the studio version just to get the full effect. But this version is still my favorite 😂
There is a video for the studio recording. It is ... different. Lol
Mitch slap 2.0!
Avi 🤯
Mitch 🤯
Kevin 🤯
Scott + Kirstie 🤯
The story is that Mitch was jet lagged so he'd drunk two Red Bulls shortly bofore to compensate; arguably Mitch should *never* drink more than one Red Bull at a time. So the sugar and caffeine kicked in at the very beginning of this solo, and he goes totally hyperactive in his high range.
This was a fan video, and you're right about how well done it was. The sound quality isn't the fault of the fan or the phone the fan used; it's accurate. You can blame Avi for the sound quality; he was systematically destroying the Star Vista's speakers. The one thing the fan *didn't* catch was Kevin; most reactors are like "Wait! Where is Kevin?!" The answer is that Kevin was there, just not at the beginning of the video when the fan showed the entire stage.
Kevin had just done a cello demonstration, so he needed to put Beyoncé (his cello) back in her case. At the beginning, where they're singing that classical stuff, they're filling up time until Kevin can get back. When Avi sees Kevin coming, he starts singing the low notes, his part in "Aha!," and the camera is focused on him for a bit (as it should be). Then he goes *really* low and the first speaer blows out; the Red Bulls cut in and Mitch starts his solo; and the camera switches to Mitch. But Mitch isn't in the same place he was earlier - he's moved closer to Kirstin, and Scott is closer to Mitch, because at the same time as Avi began singing his part of "Aha!" Mitch and Scott had moved over to make room for Kevin.
I think to keep the mind-blowing Mitch theme then Gold should be next. Also Popspring 2016 (mini concert), would be great, it has 3 awesome originals & the evolution of Michael Jackson.
Interestingly, their studio version of Aha! is a little different - not as epic, it's still good though, and the vid cracks me up everytime - it was done for Halloween. He absolutely went off here, partly due to the 2 redbulls & coffee he'd had before the show. I'm glad you waited to be at a point you could appreciate it fully. I believe Avi wrecked the speakers during this show. Not the first or last time, it's usually more sudden though rather than gradual like it seemed here.
I just found this video, so I haven't seen what youve reacted to previously other than what you mention here at only 6.5 minutes in, but have you reacted to their cover of Video Killed the Radio Star they did for the tv acapella contest they won? That one, Daft Punk and Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy always wow me
You should check out the official video of this song so that you can clearly hear the awesome and intricate bass part. This phone recording just can't capture it. Also you can clearly hear everyone else as well. It's really quite the arrangement.
I really wish a high quality recording of this could surface so we could hear all the notes we apparently just cant even know about not being in person
If you watch the official video of Aah! You get to hear Avi's overtone singing really well and it is a really creepy video!
In case no one mentions it, they do have an official music video of Aha!
I suggest you listen to their Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy 🧚
You need to react to the official video for this song...fire and creepy!
Lol Yes great reaction. Besides the Mitch Slap, Pentatonix has a way of pulling you into their videos and songs.❤
I woke up at 4:30am and saw this recommendation and I knew I had to watch this.
Wow! lets talk ALL OVER the performance, great...
Their performance of this song at the Hollywood Bowl and doesn’t have the pitch issues in this performance.
mitch was channeling something for this performance (actually he was jetlagged and drank a bunch of redbull before the show lol)
If you have never got MITCH-SLAPPED you should of on this song.
🎵😁🎶
Awesome reaction! 😃I do think you should watch the official video, for sure. It almost seems like a different song, probably because of the sound quality of this live recording, but it's an interesting video that you would not expect from PTX. Would love to see you react to it.

I told you!!! Remember, this was live. No fixing tone or anything. They truly are amazing. There is a video out for this song that is really interesting ruclips.net/video/qxY9qkfZMI8/видео.html
Mitch is his Red Bull fueled awesome self but Scott and Kirstin doing all the syncopated background parts, with Kevin just going off, is hard to do in a studio environment where you can do it over and adjust things electronically in mixing. The difficulty of doing this live is about a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. Crowd noise, sound delays (just a fact with sound traveling through cords and wi-fi) the adrenaline of being in front of a crowd, and anything else that can happen live, this is a whole other level talent and discipline. If any of them get off track or off beat doing this song it could turn into a train wreck in a hurry. I don't think there are too many people, outside of these special five, that could do this and do it that well.
This is undeniably great (except the quality of this video is pretty bad), but I still love their video of the campfire story---Kirsten is really spooky and she shows off her acting abilities. Did you do a reaction to their Can't Hold Us and I missed it?
I hope you watch their cover of Gold soon; make sure you listen to Kiara’s version first.
The problem with the video is Avi’s blown speaker. The song really needs that bass balance going back and forth, almost like a battle between Mitch and Avi. With that said, what a damn awesome video, I love watching reactors do this song.
Actually, Imogene Heap, is great on this song and PTX is very close to her original. One of the covers that I actually really enjoyed finding the original after first hearing the song from PTX.
I wonder if the total PTX range is about 9 octaves from Avi to Mitch/Kirstin?
Now react to the original video!! Awesome!!
How did Mitch do that? Tara Simon Studios analyzed it during her reaction. Apparently, it has to do with how wide and high he opened his mouth.

Brought to you by Red Bull.
I think they skipped several levels on this one. Never fails to blow my little socks off.
😊
And to think Mitch was bullied for his voice. I think we know who came out stronger and is touring the world.
ruclips.net/video/sIodOrkScGk/видео.html another live version with good sound
Imogen Heap "AHA cover.
This is mitch with jet lag and 3 redbulls
What's the name of your theme song? I really like it.
