The thing that blows me away so much about this one is the way they are able to not just recreate the bass/percussion, but they match the vocal styles of the various singers they're covering. Mind-bending.
I just listened to Scott in an interview say that they literally sang together everyday for a year when they were starting to learn each other’s voices inside and out. They are so wonderful
I'm so glad you mentioned the way they sing 'clearly' - I've noticed I can always hear the words of the song, which is not something I can say for many other singers! And yes, you are not the first to get to the end of this song and go 'wait, what? It's over? - No, I want more!'... great reaction.
Thanks Tania! Yes their diction on their lyrics is so clear I never have trouble understanding them. It really shows how much skill they truly have over their instruments. Thanks!
The Pentatonix "trio" of Scott, Mitch and Kirstie starting doing pop medleys in high school and one of PTX's special skills is doing medleys / mashups seamlessly. The addition of stellar vocal percussionists Matt (formerly Avi) and Kevin makes it even better by providing rock-solid rhythmic support. I agree with other suggestions of watching their "Evolution of..." videos. They are filmed live and it is easier to see who is doing what. The first one they did is "Evolution of Music".
Great reaction! Thank you! Kevin's beat boxing is amaaaaazing through all of these, but when he goes off during "Gonna Make You Sweat" it takes me 10 minutes to scoop my jaw up off the floor. And I agree it seems effortless, but after watching The Recording of Evergreen and seeing how much attention they give to the smallest details during their process, I have a whole new respect for them and the work that goes into giving us that "effortless" end product.
I think you might like to check out some of their "Evolution" videos. Maybe start with their Evolution of Michael Jackson? They're similar to this in that it's a medley, done in kind of the same style, but the video is just them in front of a microphone. It's all recorded in one take, with minimal production to it. It's impressive watching them switch gears like that so many times in real time.
Loved your comments on this great medley. I love that they used tech to give honor to the Cher song, when they normally would not even come close to doing so.
"NO Do not be Over!" LOL. Too funny. I feel the same way. I want an album with every one of these songs in their entirety! Please react to Royals. Mitch rocks in it!
The base is Matt Sallee, (for some reason, it seems to be pronounced as if it were sul-lee). Avi picked him as his replacement, and it was a great choice. He's a classically trained singer, a graduate of the Berkeley School of Music in Boston, and, as you can see in the short section in which he was the lead, he has a lovely voice, as well as the ability to bang out the deep base lines. His personality is more congruent with the group, as well, and while he may never produce the thundering base bombs of Avi's basso profundo, he has grown into a wonderful, harmonious addition to the group.
They are so good they can reach right out and grab your heart, attention, the feelings pent up inside you and make it real! Right through the screen!!! They are spot on! Every breath, every note is intended and unique. What amazes me is they do it so naturally! In one video, Carol of the Bells, live version of Christmas Under the Stars concert, it doesn't seem like Mitch even breathes. You should check that out. And another live performance on Independence Day Celebration, they sing Seasons Of Love. The end is surprising! Thanks for reacting. Looking forward to more.
Love your reactions. I usually get frustrated with most reactors because they over-react with mindless, useless chatter. But you do it just right. Keep it comin'. 👍👍👍
Matt, the new bass, has a very smooth chocolaty voice. They auto tuned because the original song was auto tuned. I have seen 30 reactors react to this video and you are the first one who has noticed how much Mitch sounds like Cher. I noticed it right away. THANK YOU!!! Very observant. And the drop, too. Very few reactors have commented on the Matt/Kevin drop at the beginning of the video. Great powers of observation. Try out their "Evolution of...." videos. There is Music, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, and Ariana Grande with the hits one after another. It's a great ride. You are right about hearing their words clearly, but I think part of it is also there are no instruments to overshadow the lyrics. That helps a lot.
Thanks for the kind words Celia! Man it was so easy to hear how much Mitch sounded like Cher. He is so talented! Also I thought thr drop was so good it just really stood out. Thanks for thr comments and suggestions Celia!
Haha! Every single reactor I've watched do this video says the EXACT same thing at the end, "No! It can't be over yet!" lol This is a fantastic medley. Thanks for the reaction, Bob. FYI: Our lovely lady Kirstin and her S.O announced on social media they are going to have a little baby girl. Yay! 💚💚
I am feeling that way about all of their music. I do t want it to end. Such pure fun and joy. Awww that’s awesome news for them. Thanks for sharing and a big congratulations to them.
They are always flawless. Matt who replaced Avi is just pure talent period. If you want to hear him a little more try Sound of Silence or Your a mean one Mr. Grinch. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
This was recorded in the pandemic. They where at the studio different days. Amazing how they can harmonice this well. It was the same with their medly Home
Great reaction! Really enjoyed it. This is one of my favorite medleys they have done (along with the Michael Jackson and Arianna Grande ones). Towards the end of this one, they used auto tune, which they typically don’t. But they used it as an homage to Cher to reproduce that iconic ‘Cher effect’.
This is one of two videos that IMO best show off the amazing combo of baseline and beatbox that Pentatonix has always done so beautifully. Daft Punk definitely demonstrates this amazing mix of talent from the Avi years, while the 90's Dance Medley is a wonderful example of the same magical mix occurring with Matt. And of course, Kevin is brilliant in both examples. So glad you reacted to this masterpiece!
Sound of silence is another great ptx cover. It made me laugh when you said you could listen to this all day, because I’m embarrassed to say how many times I start listening to their videos and, boom, three hours have gone by, lol.
Their videos are always great but they are even better live. Would enjoy you reacting to their PopSpring Performance 2016 from Japan. 3 original songs and Evolution of Michael Jackson. An awesome performance.
@@bobcieslinski The full 15 minute 4 song performance is worth a reaction. The live Michael Jackson performance is as good or better than the original video.
Hello Bob, So glad to see that you are continuing with PTX reactions. Glad you liked this one!! This is another masterpiece. Mitch is a rare talent as a counter tenor and he has a beautiful voice, at least a 6 octave range and vocalizes so many sounds and beautiful ear candy. He is a mimic also and can really replicate sounds - he does sound like Cher here. Kevin is a master beatboxer for sure. Matt so warm on the bass. Kirstie's notes so sharp. Scott with the pop sounds. Agree with you that they sing with such clarity and perfection enunciation. More PTX suggestions for you Gold, Come Along, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Can't Help Falling In Love With You, Imagine, Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, Havana, Blinding Lights, Take On Me, Attention, Cheerleader, No (music video for the audio but must do the live performance for 100% entertainment value) and Aha live in Singapore (fan video). The entire Evolution Series - Michael Jackson, Arianna Grande, Beyonce, Rihanna, Music. Then PTX originals: Never Gonna Cry Again, Anchor, Happy Now, Coffee in Bed, The Lucky Ones, Sing, Run To You and Can't Sleep Love (Popspring 2016). Looking forward to more of your PTX reactions.
Thanks Meg! I’m glad I continued too or I would have missed some of thr best music PTX has made. Thanks for all of the suggestions! I’ll add them to the list.
I wouldn't say it is effortless, I would more likely say it is clear to see they like what they are doing they obviosly having fun doing it and that's why it is even more fun to watch it. Of course that can make it seem like they don't have to put a lot of effort in their videos but I'm pretty sure they are still quite difficult to make.
Great reaction and I just subbed. You are one of a few reactors that have mentioned their clarity and enunciation of words. Every single song is very clear. Love me some PTX! You mentioned how effortless they seem to perform therefore you need to check out PENTATONIX THE RECORDING OF EVERGREEN. This shows how they make it theirs and how they assign each person their lines. Very interesting.
Before I ever saw this, I thought Dirty Loops should do rock and pop medleys of various decades. I know they can rock heavy based on the ending of Crash and Burn Delight from Loopified.
I don't know if you have ever heard of Voctave but you really need to react to their version of You Will Be Found with a virtual choir. They are 14 person A Capella group with voices that are going to blow your mind!
To really appreciate this video you need to watch the "Side by Side" video which has PXT on the left of screen/left audio. The original hit on the right of screen/right audio. ruclips.net/video/y6WOzZixJpc/видео.html
They used auto-tune on Believe because Cher did in her original recording - not to correct anything, but as a vocal effect. It was one of the first (if not THE first) uses of auto-tune as an effect in popular music. You've joined the mass of reactors who don't want the video to be over, LOL!
Thanks Opera Fan! I love the name. I was never into opera until I took an opera class in college. I quickly became a fan. Aida and Carmen are excellent.
They are just amazing, especially for how young they are, even now at 30s...as a band teacher you walk by the band room and her this being done abs think some kids are needing around with the equipment and find 5 students doing this without instruments...... I mean really...
The video editing itself is remarkable. There has to be about 30-40 layers of audio. If there is 3 mics around someone, edit all three audio recordings together in layers it makes it sound infinitely better.
Try listening to Tesseract - "Of Matter" or "Of Energy" (2013 version). It's a metal band that incorporates jazz and funk and they have a vocalist but they include a special wind instrument ;) in some songs. Their album "Altered State" is broken into 4 suites. Of Matter, Of Mind, Of Reality, and Of Energy. Overall, the most epic album ever.
@@bobcieslinski Awesome! I'm excited to see what you think. Careful with music videos and live videos though, I heard those can get copyright strikes. Safest way is straight off Spotify, Tidal, Apple music, etc.
Pentatonix Is a Eurotechno group, where Home Free is a Country/Pop/RB group. Both are Masters in the songs they do. Just have to match your music tastes.
No one has to question my love for Petatonix arrangements, world class talent, and harmonies. BUT!! You should also explore Home Free (Man of Constant Sorrow is an excellent starting cover) and Voice Play (Oogie Boogie from nightmare before Christmas). Both are outstanding acapella groups in different areas than Pentatonix explores (although who PTX really is the trailblazer for modern acapella music).
Hi. Really enjoy seeing reactions from music pros.. highly suggest checking out two performances they did on The Sing Off music competition…(which they won and catapulted them) “Let’s Get It On”, and “Dog Days Are Over”, the latter is first time we ever really hear Mitch and blows you away. Find the longer versions too with the judges reactions. Btw, both performances were live.
Hooray!! I won't make you pick your favorite PTX Medley! The transitions were everything a professional DJ could hope to accomplish. To see some more PTX breadth, you may like their collaborations with Lindsey Stirling. Radioactive cover is very well done from Imagine Dragons, but I like the French song Papaoutai (and they are not fluent in French). "Sing" is a nice start on what original pieces they can do.
Oh… and for some real fun, catch the collaboration produced and with Todrick Hall, The Wizard of Ahhhs. Basically the Wiazard of Oz in six minutes with contemporary songs.
You should check out Yoyoka Soma. One of the best drummers on earth and she just turned 12. Every song she covers, she makes better. Her timing/note placement are heavenly. She's covered everything from Zeppelin, to Queen, RAtM, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Toto, Bruno Mars... She also composes her own beats and teaches. Start with her cover of Good Times Bad Times when she was 8... You'll be blown away
I think PTX should collab with Cher on a re-release of Life After Love like they did with Dolly for Jolene. That is a hit waiting to happen again. LOL Great reactions. Do you take elements of what you hear to try to teach your bands?
What a fantastic idea! I hope they do it that would be great! Thanks for the kind words too Tempus Solum! I wish I had the time to share this with my band. There is just too much to teach them. If I have the time I do but most of the time I don’t.
If you think k the transitions in this were awesome try evolution of Michael Jackson or Evolution of Music. I thought Kevin's lips were going to fall off with all the different precussions and they were both one take videos
I have not heard a song yet by PTX that wasn't just perfection! I love every person in this band, I do miss Avi as well. I posted on another video about Kevin doing a rendition of Down on his own. It shows even more depth of his talent! ruclips.net/video/IGjg193h4Ok/видео.html
Have you done their cover Official video of John Lennon's "Imagine"?, had a look at your video list and didn't see it. l would recommend it again due to the quality of their performance and the visuals but most of all the way they emphasise the message of the song is so overpowering. If you missed it (l went back 3 times to make sure) l loved the visual where the to Negro/Black/Coloured (l can never keep up with what the current politically correct name is/but that also depends on where you live) bumped together and switched clothes. Your reaction to each new song mirrored mine, wow that is mind blowing and so different from the last. Subbed
It is not effortless. The audio was recorded in the studio before hand and they lip-synch the video. That's why they look like they aren't working at it. You don't hear one note from the video session.
ty for that next nice reaction :) but i have request pls pls look Dimash Kudaibergen ( SOS ) or other from him its just best singer of the world... u will fall in love
Thanks for the kind words FireFoxUltra! I’ve had quit a few people ask for him and I’ve got him I. The list and I’m looking forward to hearing him. Thanks!
Hi Bob, here's Davide from The Metallist PR. I would like to submit you the video of a French experimental jazz band called CKRAFT. Would you be interested in doing a reaction video? Let me know!

Don't forget to give me your suggestion for another song for a reaction and analysis video. Thanks for watching!
Their rendition of Say Something, always breaks me....it's amazing
That and Wizard of Ahhhhs, really spotlights Kirstin
The thing that blows me away so much about this one is the way they are able to not just recreate the bass/percussion, but they match the vocal styles of the various singers they're covering. Mind-bending.
It really is.
I just listened to Scott in an interview say that they literally sang together everyday for a year when they were starting to learn each other’s voices inside and out. They are so wonderful
The guy in the red jacket is Matt. He is the bass. Kevin is holding down the beat, and Matt, the base line. One fantastic combo.
They sure are great Tamara. They blow me away with what they can do. Just amazing!
Can we just appreciate what a magical time the 90's was. The music is somehow so catchy, fun and innocent.
So true Marko. It was a great time period for music.
I think every reactor I’ve seen reacts the same way at the end…”Noooo don’t be over!” ☺️
It was just too good Michelle. I didn’t want thr fun to end. Lol
You are so right when you say they are effortless..never strain and always clear...especially Kirstie & Mitch...keep it going!
Thanks Steve!
BOB!
You need to see one of their early origional songs LOVE AGAIN!
Written by Kevin and Avi that has a Daft Punk vibe to it. You will be BLOWN AWAY!
Thanks Doug! I’ll check it out.
Their vocals are always so tight and the construction is flawless...
I'm so glad you mentioned the way they sing 'clearly' - I've noticed I can always hear the words of the song, which is not something I can say for many other singers! And yes, you are not the first to get to the end of this song and go 'wait, what? It's over? - No, I want more!'... great reaction.
Thanks Tania! Yes their diction on their lyrics is so clear I never have trouble understanding them. It really shows how much skill they truly have over their instruments. Thanks!
Yep! Every reactor says the same thing when this song is over! Love it! Yeah the last 2 years PTX has just raised the bar!
This was awesome! Thanks Megan!
I'd like to suggest their version of "Come Along" so you can experience a real "Mitch-slap"!
Thanks Kenneth!
The Pentatonix "trio" of Scott, Mitch and Kirstie starting doing pop medleys in high school and one of PTX's special skills is doing medleys / mashups seamlessly. The addition of stellar vocal percussionists Matt (formerly Avi) and Kevin makes it even better by providing rock-solid rhythmic support. I agree with other suggestions of watching their "Evolution of..." videos. They are filmed live and it is easier to see who is doing what. The first one they did is "Evolution of Music".
Thanks Ruth for thr info and suggestion. I am very interested in the Michael Jackson one.
This has always been 5+ minutes of pure joy for me!
Vicki I agree. I had so much fun with this one. I can’t wait for more. So many videos so little time.
Yes, I’ve always thought that Mitch’s Cher was spot on.
If I wasn’t seeing him I would have thought it was Cher.
Great reaction! Thank you! Kevin's beat boxing is amaaaaazing through all of these, but when he goes off during "Gonna Make You Sweat" it takes me 10 minutes to scoop my jaw up off the floor. And I agree it seems effortless, but after watching The Recording of Evergreen and seeing how much attention they give to the smallest details during their process, I have a whole new respect for them and the work that goes into giving us that "effortless" end product.
Thanks for the comments Sunny and the suggestions!
I think you would like "the recording of evergreen" from them
I’ll add that to the list Beatrix. Thanks!
I think you might like to check out some of their "Evolution" videos. Maybe start with their Evolution of Michael Jackson?

It's impressive watching them switch gears like that so many times in real time.
Wow Kate I can imagine doing that in one take. I do have to see that thanks!
Loved your comments on this great medley. I love that they used tech to give honor to the Cher song, when they normally would not even come close to doing so.
More, more, more Bob. Please react to “Sing”. It’s an original. Very fun, you’ll find yourself smiling the whole time🎶🎶💕💕🦋
Thanks for the great comments and suggestion Rebecca!
"NO Do not be Over!" LOL. Too funny. I feel the same way. I want an album with every one of these songs in their entirety! Please react to Royals. Mitch rocks in it!
Hanks Lorri for the kind words and no I don’t want them to end. They are so good. Wow I could see Mitch doing that one and it would be incredible.
@@bobcieslinski It is!
Please react to Pentatonix "Wizard of ahhhs"....you won't regret it! ♥️
Ok sounds good thanks Kathryn!
The base is Matt Sallee, (for some reason, it seems to be pronounced as if it were sul-lee). Avi picked him as his replacement, and it was a great choice. He's a classically trained singer, a graduate of the Berkeley School of Music in Boston, and, as you can see in the short section in which he was the lead, he has a lovely voice, as well as the ability to bang out the deep base lines. His personality is more congruent with the group, as well, and while he may never produce the thundering base bombs of Avi's basso profundo, he has grown into a wonderful, harmonious addition to the group.
So much agree with ur comment. Matt feels like a Porsche Bass, he moves his pitches so agile while keeping all the bass resonance.
They are so good they can reach right out and grab your heart, attention, the feelings pent up inside you and make it real! Right through the screen!!! They are spot on! Every breath, every note is intended and unique. What amazes me is they do it so naturally! In one video, Carol of the Bells, live version of Christmas Under the Stars concert, it doesn't seem like Mitch even breathes. You should check that out. And another live performance on Independence Day Celebration, they sing Seasons Of Love. The end is surprising! Thanks for reacting. Looking forward to more.
Thanks for the info and suggestion Louella!
Love your reactions. I usually get frustrated with most reactors because they over-react with mindless, useless chatter. But you do it just right. Keep it comin'. 👍👍👍
You should check out The Twelve Days of Christmas. I know it’s not Christmas season but what they did with this song is absolutely masterful.
Thanks Kathie!
A truly talented group of individuals. Incredible!
Yes they are. Thanks his was a really fun song to listen to and watch.
Matt, the new bass, has a very smooth chocolaty voice. They auto tuned because the original song was auto tuned. I have seen 30 reactors react to this video and you are the first one who has noticed how much Mitch sounds like Cher. I noticed it right away. THANK YOU!!! Very observant. And the drop, too.

Thanks for the kind words Celia! Man it was so easy to hear how much Mitch sounded like Cher. He is so talented! Also I thought thr drop was so good it just really stood out. Thanks for thr comments and suggestions Celia!
I also think at this point everyone knows they don’t NEED auto tune, so it’s safer to use it. In my opinion
I AGREE. IT WAS TOO SHORT. I NEED A FULL ALBUM OF THIS AHHHHHH
I enjoyed your reaction to this fun Pentatonix video. They are incredible. More Pentatonix reactions please.
So many good suggestions! I HIGHLY recommend one of their original songs Run To You! No beatboxing...it's 5 part harmony through out! AMAZING!
Thanks Catherine!
Haha! Every single reactor I've watched do this video says the EXACT same thing at the end, "No! It can't be over yet!" lol This is a fantastic medley. Thanks for the reaction, Bob. FYI: Our lovely lady Kirstin and her S.O announced on social media they are going to have a little baby girl. Yay! 💚💚

Thanks Mark you stay safe too!
All those instruments behind you are feeling really expendable right now.
This was recorded in the pandemic. They where at the studio different days. Amazing how they can harmonice this well.
It was the same with their medly Home
Wow that was great use of their time. Thanks for sharing that Louise! This song is a masterpiece.
You should really check out Butter x Dynamite - such a fun time. Feels like they had such a blast making and recording it
Great reaction! Really enjoyed it. This is one of my favorite medleys they have done (along with the Michael Jackson and Arianna Grande ones). Towards the end of this one, they used auto tune, which they typically don’t. But they used it as an homage to Cher to reproduce that iconic ‘Cher effect’.
Thanks for thr info and suggestions Lynn!
"No, do not be over!" I think just about everyone says that with this particular piece.
It’s sooo good Kitten!
This is one of two videos that IMO best show off the amazing combo of baseline and beatbox that Pentatonix has always done so beautifully. Daft Punk definitely demonstrates this amazing mix of talent from the Avi years, while the 90's Dance Medley is a wonderful example of the same magical mix occurring with Matt. And of course, Kevin is brilliant in both examples. So glad you reacted to this masterpiece!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sound of silence is another great ptx cover. It made me laugh when you said you could listen to this all day, because I’m embarrassed to say how many times I start listening to their videos and, boom, three hours have gone by, lol.
Lol it’s easy they are so good.
Their videos are always great but they are even better live. Would enjoy you reacting to their PopSpring Performance 2016 from Japan. 3 original songs and Evolution of Michael Jackson. An awesome performance.
I’ve got to check out the Michael Jackson one. So many people keep telling me to check it out. Thanks!
@@bobcieslinski The full 15 minute 4 song performance is worth a reaction. The live Michael Jackson performance is as good or better than the original video.
Hello Bob, So glad to see that you are continuing with PTX reactions. Glad you liked this one!! This is another masterpiece. Mitch is a rare talent as a counter tenor and he has a beautiful voice, at least a 6 octave range and vocalizes so many sounds and beautiful ear candy. He is a mimic also and can really replicate sounds - he does sound like Cher here. Kevin is a master beatboxer for sure. Matt so warm on the bass. Kirstie's notes so sharp. Scott with the pop sounds.

More PTX suggestions for you Gold, Come Along, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Can't Help Falling In Love With You, Imagine, Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, Havana, Blinding Lights, Take On Me, Attention, Cheerleader, No (music video for the audio but must do the live performance for 100% entertainment value) and Aha live in Singapore (fan video). The entire Evolution Series - Michael Jackson, Arianna Grande, Beyonce, Rihanna, Music. Then PTX originals: Never Gonna Cry Again, Anchor, Happy Now, Coffee in Bed, The Lucky Ones, Sing, Run To You and Can't Sleep Love (Popspring 2016). Looking forward to more of your PTX reactions.
Thanks Meg! I’m glad I continued too or I would have missed some of thr best music PTX has made. Thanks for all of the suggestions! I’ll add them to the list.
@@bobcieslinski Thanks Bob! Looking forward to more PTX. You will enjoy them all -- catalogue of almost 200 song!
Great reaction! You should check out Imagine and The Sound of Silence. They have so many great ones!
Thanks Debbie!
I wouldn't say it is effortless, I would more likely say it is clear to see they like what they are doing they obviosly having fun doing it and that's why it is even more fun to watch it. Of course that can make it seem like they don't have to put a lot of effort in their videos but I'm pretty sure they are still quite difficult to make.
It sure does Laura!
Thanks for another Great Reaction!! I would like to see your reaction to what Mitch does in Gold (Kiaara cover) 😁😁😎
Thanks Richard and I’ll put that one on the list.
God: Mitch, do you want a male or female voice from me?
Mitch: Yes.
17 songs in one!
Really enjoying your reactions!
Thanks for the kind words Stacynn!
Great reaction and I just subbed. You are one of a few reactors that have mentioned their clarity and enunciation of words. Every single song is very clear. Love me some PTX!
You mentioned how effortless they seem to perform therefore you need to check out PENTATONIX THE RECORDING OF EVERGREEN. This shows how they make it theirs and how they assign each person their lines. Very interesting.
Thanks for thr kind words Jean and the suggestions!
It's effortless perfection.
Before I ever saw this, I thought Dirty Loops should do rock and pop medleys of various decades. I know they can rock heavy based on the ending of Crash and Burn Delight from Loopified.
I like your thinking George!
I don't know if you have ever heard of Voctave but you really need to react to their version of You Will Be Found with a virtual choir. They are 14 person A Capella group with voices that are going to blow your mind!

So good!
You need to react to Love Again. It's one of their originals with their original base, Avi, and it is bonkers.
Thanks I’ll check it out.
You should hear their version of Havana it's another.one that's so effortless and relaxed
Can’t wait Linda, I’ll add it to the list.
They took my chold/teen hood to a whole another level!!
LOL …. everyone says “no .. don’t let it be over”.
It’s just too good. You just don’t want thr fun to end.
Love the reaction. You should check out Mitch’s cover of “Your Power” by Billie Eilish.
Thanks Opera Fan! I love the name. I was never into opera until I took an opera class in college. I quickly became a fan. Aida and Carmen are excellent.
AWESOME, AWESOME FLIPPING AWESOME....
Try Sound of Silence or Gold. There's a couple a hundred...each song a new experience...also Love Again, an original or Blinding Lights, a cover.
Thanks Derrick!
They are just amazing, especially for how young they are, even now at 30s...as a band teacher you walk by the band room and her this being done abs think some kids are needing around with the equipment and find 5 students doing this without instruments......
I mean really...
Yep
That was the "Mitch slap"!
The new bass guy is Matt Sallee
They sound so great is they all have voices that could be solo
They really do all have solo voices.
The video editing itself is remarkable. There has to be about 30-40 layers of audio. If there is 3 mics around someone, edit all three audio recordings together in layers it makes it sound infinitely better.

Hello ! Please check out "Amazing Grace" . It is my favorite PTX video. At the end you will experience the power of Kirstie's vocal part !
No one has to question my love for Petatonix arrangements, world class talent, and harmonies. BUT!!
You should also explore Home Free (Man of Constant Sorrow is an excellent starting cover) and Voice Play (Oogie Boogie from nightmare before Christmas). Both are outstanding acapella groups in different areas than Pentatonix explores (although who PTX really is the trailblazer for modern acapella music).
Funny you should mention those 2 Denise. Those are ones I am finishing right now. They should be out soon.
Have you also explored PostModern Jukebox? Simply brilliant arrangements in other genres and even better performers they recruit to execute them
Hi. Really enjoy seeing reactions from music pros.. highly suggest checking out two performances they did on The Sing Off music competition…(which they won and catapulted them) “Let’s Get It On”, and “Dog Days Are Over”, the latter is first time we ever really hear Mitch and blows you away. Find the longer versions too with the judges reactions. Btw, both performances were live.
Thanks again for thr kind words Tony!
Hooray!! I won't make you pick your favorite PTX Medley! The transitions were everything a professional DJ could hope to accomplish.
To see some more PTX breadth, you may like their collaborations with Lindsey Stirling. Radioactive cover is very well done from Imagine Dragons, but I like the French song Papaoutai (and they are not fluent in French).
"Sing" is a nice start on what original pieces they can do.
Thanks Denise for thr suggestions!
The autotune was in homage to Cher using autotune for the first time artistically instead of for pitch correction :D
Thanks for thr info Bridget!
Oh… and for some real fun, catch the collaboration produced and with Todrick Hall, The Wizard of Ahhhs. Basically the Wiazard of Oz in six minutes with contemporary songs.
Thanks I check it out Tony!
You should check out Yoyoka Soma. One of the best drummers on earth and she just turned 12. Every song she covers, she makes better. Her timing/note placement are heavenly. She's covered everything from Zeppelin, to Queen, RAtM, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Toto, Bruno Mars... She also composes her own beats and teaches. Start with her cover of Good Times Bad Times when she was 8... You'll be blown away
Thanks for the great suggestion! She sounds amazing. I’ll add her to thr list.
u should react to Pentatonix - Silent Night (Live), its quite raw and different from everything else so far
Thanks I’ll add that to the list.
You should check out 'Evolution of Music' to see their one take talent.
I think PTX should collab with Cher on a re-release of Life After Love like they did with Dolly for Jolene. That is a hit waiting to happen again. LOL Great reactions. Do you take elements of what you hear to try to teach your bands?
What a fantastic idea! I hope they do it that would be great! Thanks for the kind words too Tempus Solum! I wish I had the time to share this with my band. There is just too much to teach them. If I have the time I do but most of the time I don’t.
I'd like for you to react to PTX original " Sing". It's a older one with Avi. I think you would like it
Thanks for the suggestion Cheryl! I add it to the list.
You might also love the "Wizard of Ahhs" ruclips.net/video/QkVeKb2igrg/видео.html
That sounds like an interesting one Dawn. Thanks for the suggestion!
If you think k the transitions in this were awesome try evolution of Michael Jackson or Evolution of Music. I thought Kevin's lips were going to fall off with all the different precussions and they were both one take videos
Lol I’ll check it out , thanks Robin!
I have not heard a song yet by PTX that wasn't just perfection! I love every person in this band, I do miss Avi as well. I posted on another video about Kevin doing a rendition of Down on his own. It shows even more depth of his talent!

Thanks Jusy! They are amazing!
Have you done their cover Official video of John Lennon's "Imagine"?, had a look at your video list and didn't see it. l would recommend it again due to the quality of their performance and the visuals but most of all the way they emphasise the message of the song is so overpowering. If you missed it (l went back 3 times to make sure) l loved the visual where the to Negro/Black/Coloured (l can never keep up with what the current politically correct name is/but that also depends on where you live) bumped together and switched clothes. Your reaction to each new song mirrored mine, wow that is mind blowing and so different from the last. Subbed
Thanks FalvonerNZ! I’ll check into that suggestion you made.
Her name is Kirsten, Kirsty (like thirsty)
It is not effortless. The audio was recorded in the studio before hand and they lip-synch the video. That's why they look like they aren't working at it. You don't hear one note from the video session.
Thanks for the info Rich!
The auto tune is an homage to Cher...
👋 👋
ty for that next nice reaction :) but i have request pls pls look Dimash Kudaibergen ( SOS ) or other from him its just best singer of the world... u will fall in love
Thanks for the kind words FireFoxUltra! I’ve had quit a few people ask for him and I’ve got him I. The list and I’m looking forward to hearing him. Thanks!
You should check out VoicePlay doing Oogie Boogie's Song.
Thanks, I’m currently finishing that one. Make sure to look for it in a couple of weeks.
Normally a 5 1/2 min song would be like a 3 1/2 hr long movie…just too much. No, PTX leaves you wanting more.
For sure Stephanie.
PLS REACT TO MICHAEL MAYO, HE DESERVE TO BLOW UP SOMEDAY
I will put him on the list. Thanks Danilo!
can you react to ShawnGarroneMusic? He does awesome covers on the oboe, and a few other instruments as well. He has really cool videos
Wow Eliana that sounds very interesting. I’ll add that to the list. Thanks!
Hi Bob, here's Davide from The Metallist PR. I would like to submit you the video of a French experimental jazz band called CKRAFT. Would you be interested in doing a reaction video? Let me know!
Sure I’d love to check out a new group! Thanks Medallist!
If you think Mitch's high notes are insane you need to listen to Dimash.
I just did that video today and oh my you are right. Hopefully I can get that edited and out soon.
Out of this world??? Nah..pretty basic. 😍😍😍😍
