That reaction was great, & I adored this daft punk reaction! When you said you gave up, I laughed & said, well yeah, that's why they won a Grammy for the arraignment of this song!
You are the first person to point out the breathing control Kevin has to have. I could just watch him all day as he does what he does. He's my music crush!
One amazing thing about Avi is his ability to whistle-hum and do polyphonic overtone singing. He does is frequently in their videos, and I believe most people just think Kevin is creating the other sounds. He does it in this video as well as in Bohemian Rhapsody. You should watch for it! Thanks for your detailed reactions! ❤
You are correct with Kirstin. As she says, "my name is Kirstin, but you can call me Kirstie...it rhymes with thirsty." And you are SO right about her angelic voice. Hits me right in the feels every time I hear her sing. I know the arranging procedure of this was time-consuming, but the entire recording and shooting of the video took place in one day. They had booked studio time, but it fell through at the last minute. So they recorded it in a bedroom closet and shot the video in a kitchen, using just black curtains, a black light, two ring lights, and a smoke machine. The shooting budget was $400 (that didn't count the editing and post-production costs, but that was also done on a shoestring budget). The result was their first world-wide hit, international superstardom, their first Grammy, and moving from a record contract on a small Sony-owned label (Madison Gate) all the way up to the major RCA label.
I still think that this is the best ever a cappella arrangement ever done and the fact that they made this video in Avi's kitchen (as their venue let them down at the last minute) with just a few hundred dollars and a couple of ring lights! It's insanity! And the fact that they can do this live is UNREAL! There is a video of them singing it in a hotel room, no affects, nothing. So impressive.
Just to let you know, Avi does overtones in a lot of their performances, two tones at once. Kevin does what he calls cello-boxing. As a classical trained cellist,that beatboxes at the same time. The whole group all agree that Mitch has the most impressive technical control of his voice. Scott is a beast of riffs and runs. And together Mitch and Kirstie together create the sound of angels. Kirstie has also performed on Broadway and shows so much emotion in everything she sings. Matt, the new bass is so incredibly smooth and can't help but give you a tremendous smile in every performance.
As a non-musician who loves music, I truly appreciate your review and analysis. This one always blows me away, but then again, PTX blows me away pretty consistently. Two covers I would recommend are ‘Gold’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’, very different, but they are both amazing. Thanks for the great reaction!
Oh please don't be sorry for how much you talk - what you're saying is so interesting and what makes your channel awesome! And please don't worry about "dumbing down" what you're saying, or at least please explain it how you want and then maybe repeat it simplified? It's so informative and helpful!
This took about a week to put together. In an interview with Grammys Mitch detailed it. First was choosing which songs to use, then in which order. The main melody is figured out, then the background is put in, and Kevin and Avi work together to come up with the bass and percussion. Then it gets tweaked to fill in the holes.
What a great commentary and reaction! I very much enjoyed both your explanations and disbelief at what you were hearing. 😃 Pentatonix won their first grammy for this mashup of 6 or 7 Daft Punk songs and the grammy was for best arrangement, instrumental or acapella. Their arranger, Ben Bram, won it with them; he's the one that arranges their songs with them, though they often just circle jam as five until they have a working demo, then they send it to Ben Bram to put the finishing touches on it and get it ready for recording. Some songs they can do in a little as a day, and some of their large medleys like the Evolution of... series take weeks to months to create. They're really skilled at it too. For true mashups, check out La La Latch, As Long As You Love Me / Wide Awake, or New Rules x Are You That Somebody. For medleys with lots of songs, definitely have a look at their Evolution of ... series (just pick your favorite artist) or their most recent, the 90s Dance Medley. And I agree with the other commenters' suggestion of Wizard of Ahhhs (although that was the brainchild of Todrick Hall, PTX execute it masterfully). If you want another EDM vibe song, have a look at their original Love Again. Kevin and Avi will blow you away with their rhythm and bass section. 😁
They won their first Grammy with this video. Avi (bass) & Kevin (beatboxer) used their apartment and it was filmed in a closet using ring lights...each one was recorded separately. They were down to their last $400 so used it for their contacts & makeup etc. Editing was genius. There is a video of how they made it. Avi is a classically trained Basso profundo. He can also and has done overtone singing. Thanks for such a great analysis I really enjoyed the information you shared. Liked & Sub
You commenting on this song for a couple of hours would be fun. You were in sensory overload at about 10:44 of the video, I will point out they were singing TWO songs at once. Avi was singing Television rules the nation and Kirstie was singing Around the world.
I have been a fan of PTX since the Sing Off in 2011. I have watched every video they've posted, more times than I can count. I love watching PTX reactions. Basically, I'm saying I've heard this hundreds of times. I have NEVER notice that part before🤯
@@brandyanderson3522 Kirstie also sings Around The World at the end, just before of the final "our work is never over". There's a reason why this arrangement won that Grammy...
Between 15:23 and 16:05 they are singing One More Time and Get Lucky, in that part Around The World is put in, so they sing three songs at the same time.
NO matter how you slice it, PTX will never have the full, rich sound they had with Avi. Fabulously, naturally talented and classically trained...who can match his resonance?
You might enjoy the live version of PTX song Gold. They are all sitting down in a semicircle and you can see and hear what each person is doing. I would like to hear your comments on that!
You would probably enjoy watching the beginnings of Pentatonix. They were in an a capella singing competition called The Sing Off. Each week they had to prepare one or two songs based on the theme of the show for that week. Even in the short length of the show you can see growth and improvement in their singing and presentation. Those might be fun to react to as well.
Avi is doing overtone singing and whistle notes. The minor 9th chords at the beginning are incredible! Avi is a basso profundo and Mitch is a counter tenor!
I love when my viewers speak musically, because sometimes I hold Back as to not speak over the heads of my audience, yes it was really great and I admire it
@@GlassesKingdom Other than listening to you i have only learned what most of the technicalities of different music mean through the comments section!!
@@taligeoghan7245 yes many times the comments section is lit with information, I always love it, most times I already knew , but sometimes I also learned from others
Thank you for your reaction! VERY informative. Didn't realize so much went in to music! Esp at this level!! Love your humor too! Looking forward to more reactions!
Thank you for your reactions to PTX!! Usually the "angelic" comments go to Mitch.. you've yet to hear the genius of his talents. This took them 4 hours in one of their kitchens and a closet.. won them their 1st Grammy. Ben Bram is the genius behind their arrangements.. You would reeeeally enjoy reacting to BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (took them all night to record.. a true masterpiece) Also their most recent release is their 90's DANCE MEDLEY. They continue to amaze after 10 years of covers and originals..
So much fun to watch your reaction... “Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! I’m done!”, lol. So much fun! They are so good. I love watching reactions from musicians, vocal coaches and beat boxers. Some make really long videos and I delight in watching them all. Talk as long as you want. Lol. It’s fun and educational. The best part is still the shock and delight on your faces. 🤗
I read that they were in Australia for a concert and Daft Punk heard they were in concert and came in for a Surprise, they danced to the stage and joined them in the song.
This is a mashup of seven Daft Punk songs: Technologic, One More Time, Get Lucky, Digital Love, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, Television Rules the Nation, and Around the World.
I absolutely loved your breakdown of this! It’s truly a masterpiece, and clear why they won a Grammy for it. I’d love if you would react to Avi (Kaplan, the base) solo “Change on the Rise” because I’d also like to hear your thoughts on that too.
A really good live performance is Aha Shanghai star vista. Avi (bass with the beard) goes so low he blows a speaker, and mitch plays .. how high can I go. The video is a phone recording but the performance is amazing. From all the Pentaholics ... Enjoy the ride.
I really love love love your reaction analysis (and yes, it's Kirstin or Kirstie as she usually goes by). Some suggestions: - Gold (Kiiara Cover) - Evolution of Michael Jackson
@@GlassesKingdom Not at all - finding people to enthuse about PTX is easy. Finding people to talk about the technicalities of what is being done is a lot rarer :)
I like to listen to PTX music several times. First for the overall effect, then again several times, each to focus on one artist (you'd be surprised at the subtleties that are easily missed because so much is going on), and then several more times just because they make me happy.
Kevin is often overlooked, yet one of my favorites! Wait until you see him beatbox and play cello at the same time. That being said, PTX is my all time favorite group!!!
Avi does do overtone singing ridiculously and worth a look. I would suggest him doing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Avi is the bass guy (a basso profoundo) : )
They won the Grammy for this. Should i say more? I really enjoy your well informed comments and humor. I wish you much success with your channel. You will increase your subscriptions with PTX (mark my words) A new fan.. Jaime
Every musical instrument that has ever been made was done so in order to simulate the sounds of the human voice. That's why we need so many different instruments.
I have to say, I enjoyed your reaction to this Daft Punk Medley by PTX sooooooo much! Your knowledge and musical expertise shows for sure, very impressive, but your personality!!OMG! You are HILARIOUS!!! SOOOO much fun watching your mannerisms and expressions, etc as you watched, priceless...thank you!!!👏👍😅
I enjoyed your reaction. I learned a lot. Thank you. You were right about the types of music in this medley. The medley contained 7 Daft Punk songs. Did you notice that Kirstie was singing "Around The World" in background why Avi was singing "Television"? You didn't mention it so I was just wondering if you noticed.
I absolutely loved your reaction to this amazing song/group. They are so incredibly talented. Perhaps I can suggest another very talented artist for you to react to, her name is Rosalía. She is a young Spanish Singer/songwriter/composer/producer who started off with Flamenco but has now branched into more commercial music. However, her album El Mal Querer is critically acclaimed and has won awards (impressive considering she wrote it as her final year project at University). To start off I'd recommend Me Quedo Contigo live at the Goya Awards.
Fun! 😌😁 its always fun when people hear them for first time!! Me, inner thought: ...wait until get live performance "Aha singapore star vista"🤯🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not only their musical talent and harmonies and technical ability, but I gotta hand it to the editors and sound production. This was my first introduction to a Pentatonix video after I saw them win their season on the Sing Off. Just awesome. Saw them in concert after that (until people started standing up in front of me, then I had to just watch the screen....lucky there was one).
They make the sounds while breathing in too. That takes another level of skill. People have moved on from the old classical stuffy rules of music. Can you imagine something like opera trying to make sounds while breathing in? XD
I love watching you react to Pentatonix! I also admire your knowledge of all the technical aspects of the different aspects of each person in the group, alone and together. I played music in several different groups over the years, and you are teaching me things that I didn't even realize I was doing. Thank you:)
Great reaction! Along with my other suggestions on your Hallelujah video, I think you'd really enjoy their versions of Oh Come All Ye Faithful and 12 Days of Christmas. In general, they always put a neat twist on traditional Christmas songs that make them seem new and fresh. And we Pentaholics love to hear their Christmas music year round. :)
I have watched hundreds of reactors & you are the 1st one I have ever found who appreciates the breath control that they have! That is also very evident in their cover of Amazing Grace. At the beginning Kevin & Kirstie hold their note under Matts solo for like a gazillion measures! (Matt's the new bass that came on board when Avi left a few years ago - it was totally amicable) I have STILL to find where they breathe! And yes, I have tried!! I was in chorus in high school & choir at Church for many, many years, and we had to learn proper breath control. It is extremely hard. And I appreciate all of your talking! Most Pentaholics here have heard these songs hundreds of times & we're here to hear your remarks & to watch you get your mind blown! It is an addictive experience! Thank you for your knowledgeable commentary! I totally enjoyed it!! I also appreciate your intelligent sense of humor! I've subbed & will be around as long as you react to Pentatonix! 2 other A Capella groups who are ultra talented are Voiceplay and Home Free, if you want to check them out. Many Pentaholics like those 2 groups as well & will watch your reactions to them. God bless!
I listen to many comments but you are the best ! You pick up the enormous quality this daft punk has and how great each of the singers are and especially Kevin! His beat box and breathing technique is of the chart !
Excellent observation of the breathing technique challenge and thanks for emphasizing just how hard Kevin had to work to do all he does as the beat box Master! Avi's bass lines are ridiculous!!!
YOU are great; intelligent, knowledgeable, not over the top in your reactions, you explain things not over the heads of us non-musicians, you're not loud; you are well packaged. You only break when it's necessary. This is the 3rd vid that I've seen of yours and I have subscribed bc I want to keep coming back. I will of course be coming back mostly for my beloved PTX but will scan your playlist for others that i recognize and also to get a handle on who you are and what you might have to offer in the future. Be well and "Keep on Truckin'".
What's important to note about their Grammy is that is was for Arranging. Not performance, but the arrangement , which you clearly appreciated in your commentary.
I absolutely agree that this song is perfection and can't be done any better. I also agree on the breathing... but, BUT, you forget that this is heavily edited, again BUT, they've performed this live to perfection, so obviously editing isn't the thing. Obviously, they've mastered the breathing. Obscenely talented professionals.
I’m a Pentaholic, so your channel finally came up in my suggestions feed! You’re going to get many more Pentaholics (if you haven’t already), I like the detail that you go into with your reactions. I think that all Pentaholics will enjoy this level of detail. Why don’t you watch it and react first, then watch it again and feedback. So. You get to enjoy it and then vocally react to it. I enjoy all of the facets that you bring out and would LOVE to hear the bits that you miss out! A new subscriber (for as long as you react to PTX 😉).
Had to go back and find the video. If you’re interested in breathing and breath control take a look at the PTX Carol of the Bells. Some have commented on when Mitch takes a breath during the opening verse(s) since it lasts so long and the quality of his voice doesn’t seem to change during that intro. I’m sure there are other examples, Avi holding a single note for 10 seconds or more without an apparent breath. Glad to see you are posting a few more reactions. BTW, there is a “private performance “ video of this song which was done live, without mics and sounds as good as the video.
Oh, yes!!! That will blow your mind! He is multi-multi-multi talented in many areas. Speaks Mandarin & studied medicine at Harvard (I believe- someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) Kevin played saxaphone at Carnegie Hall when he was 17. You should watch that video as well! His cello playing is off the charts amazing & he is extremely creative! Can you tell I love Kevin?! Lol! If he ever needs a 2nd Mama in his life, I'm volunteering!! (Yeah- he's my favorite!)
@@beverlykrebs4372 It was Yale but still Ivy League :) Yes Kevin is such a beast...i often wonder you know what?? I bet he could fly if he put his mind to it :)
@@taligeoghan7245 Thank you! Yes, I would not be surprised at all! And with a new baby in the house, that would make those trips to go out for diapers a lot easier! Just spread those musical wings & soar! LOL!!
@@taligeoghan7245 Oh yes! I can't wait to see how talented she is when she grows up!!! If he teaches her all his skills she will be amazing! (My dad taught me how to dig up worms & took me fishing! Still, he was Daddy & I loved him!)
Avi is the most supernatural when it comes to breathing - very few spaces for him. And the bass slides! Have you seen their beginning on The Sting Off? You can see their journey - Ari and Kevin just morphed into the best drum and bass combo they'd ever seen. If you haven't seen their Sing Off journey, you're missing out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve heard several reactors who have a great deal of technical knowledge about music. Most are a bit boring because they just can’t explain the technologies for non-specialists. However, I truly enjoyed your explanations of the techniques PTX used in this presentation. Thanks so much for the education. It has been an extremely enjoyable experience.
I would highly recommend watching their Evolution of... videos. They're live, one-take and really show the complexity of their arrangements and crazy talent. Doing them in chronological order will show their growth, too. Loving your reactions!
LOVING your reactions and breakdowns of their skill and other information. Very educational at points. Two things I'm not sure you're aware of however. 1) When they do the harmonies, often Scott will be middle-harmony between Kirstin (Kirsty sounds like thirsty). Which is amusing as he's actually a baritone (covering for bass when Avi or Matt sings higher). And that Avi (the bass in this one) can do overtone singing, and often adds sounds to a song that might normally be attributed to Kevin. NOT that I am trying to diminish at all anything Kevin pulls off.
You must, seriously, you must see their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. The guitar solo is brilliant. Please don’t apologize for talking too much. We love it all and I enjoy reactions when I can learn more about music. ☮️💟

What I find even more impressive is they can do this completely live with no electronic helpers or autotune.
You Said, "THIS IS A WORLD CLASS MASTER PIECE , NO ONE CAN DO A BETTER JOB WITH THIS , NOT EVEN PTX CAN". The Grammy Awards agreed.
Yes extremely over the top level
@@GlassesKingdom and the song was made on 400$ budget shot in a kitchen
Kirsten singing with that sideways smirk....heart melting...

cant WAIT for him to do "Bo Rhap" its one of my absolute favorites by both Queen AND Pentatonix!!
I LOVE hearing you analyze their genius. They will continue to surprise and delight you, and I’m here for it!
Thank you so much
Don't apologize for "talking a lot". Your knowledge and experience is why I and a lot of other folks come back. Thank you.

I read that they were in Australia for a concert and Daft Punk heard they were in concert and came in for a Surprise, they danced to the stage and joined them in the song.

Get Lucky,
Digital Love,
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,
Television Rules the Nation, and Around the World.
Great Reaction as Usual!!!! Please check out "Wizard of Ahhs" by Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix!!!!!! It's a Very Fun Mashup!!!!
The pitch modulation on Mitch's voice! That's organic, it's not an effect!!!! FIRE!🔥🔥🔥

I really love love love your reaction analysis (and yes, it's Kirstin or Kirstie as she usually goes by). Some suggestions:
- Gold (Kiiara Cover)
- Evolution of Michael Jackson
I’m happy you said this, because I was worried that I talked too much
@@GlassesKingdom Not at all - finding people to enthuse about PTX is easy. Finding people to talk about the technicalities of what is being done is a lot rarer :)
As a musician, you definitely need to listen Gold. What Mitch is doing there is out of this world.
But if/when you do Gold (by Kiiara) make sure you have listened to the original first, otherwise you just don't get the full mastery of the cover!
Kirstin
This song is really a one of a kind and I think the peak of what they (pentatonix) achieved
I like to listen to PTX music several times. First for the overall effect, then again several times, each to focus on one artist (you'd be surprised at the subtleties that are easily missed because so much is going on), and then several more times just because they make me happy.
I do that too! You just can't take it all in at once!- or even 10 times! Lol!
@@beverlykrebs4372 HAHHAHAHAHA so true
Your reactions are priceless. I really appreciate you breaking down & explaining what Avi(the bass) was doing.
Kevin is often overlooked, yet one of my favorites! Wait until you see him beatbox and play cello at the same time. That being said, PTX is my all time favorite group!!!
So wonderful to hear you be amazed at this masterpiece of a performance. Loved everything you had to say about it.
Love your appreciation for their musical talent. Thanks for sharing your experience
Avi does do overtone singing ridiculously and worth a look. I would suggest him doing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Avi is the bass guy (a basso profoundo) : )
They won a Grammy award for this..
Grammy worthy performance 🙂
They won the Grammy for this. Should i say more? I really enjoy your well informed comments and humor. I wish you much success with your channel. You will increase your subscriptions with PTX (mark my words) A new fan.. Jaime
Me too!!
Astounding reaction. Love it.
Every musical instrument that has ever been made was done so in order to simulate the sounds of the human voice. That's why we need so many different instruments.
I have to say, I enjoyed your reaction to this Daft Punk Medley by PTX sooooooo much! Your knowledge and musical expertise shows for sure, very impressive, but your personality!!OMG! You are HILARIOUS!!! SOOOO much fun watching your mannerisms and expressions, etc as you watched, priceless...thank you!!!👏👍😅
I enjoyed your reaction. I learned a lot. Thank you. You were right about the types of music in this medley. The medley contained 7 Daft Punk songs. Did you notice that Kirstie was singing "Around The World" in background why Avi was singing "Television"? You didn't mention it so I was just wondering if you noticed.
yes i saw it, and thanks for highlighting it
Please react to Pentatonix Hallelujah, then Bohemian Rhapsody.
First, yes I know it is almost June, but I think you need to watch O Come All Ye Faithful by PTX, I truly believe you will be amazed!
lol
Listen to Kevin Olusola Down. You will love it.
I absolutely loved your reaction to this amazing song/group. They are so incredibly talented.
Perhaps I can suggest another very talented artist for you to react to, her name is Rosalía. She is a young Spanish Singer/songwriter/composer/producer who started off with Flamenco but has now branched into more commercial music. However, her album El Mal Querer is critically acclaimed and has won awards (impressive considering she wrote it as her final year project at University).
To start off I'd recommend Me Quedo Contigo live at the Goya Awards.
MASTERPIECE....yes...and so are YOU. Just discovered "Glasses Kingdom". GREAT breakdown of a Masterpiece!
Thank you for your educational reaction. I would love to hear your reaction to one of their originals called "Run to You".
Great reaction!! More Pentatonix PLEASE and check out Kevin's (beatboxer) solo videos DOWN and SIGN OF THE TIMES.
Wow! What a great reaction! I learned a lot!
That's why they won grammes of this song
One of the better analysis of PTX that I’ve seen on RUclips. Congrats! You’ve earn your subscription
Fun! 😌😁 its always fun when people hear them for first time!!
Me, inner thought: ...wait until get live performance "Aha singapore star vista"🤯🙈🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your artistic knowledge.
Not only their musical talent and harmonies and technical ability, but I gotta hand it to the editors and sound production. This was my first introduction to a Pentatonix video after I saw them win their season on the Sing Off. Just awesome. Saw them in concert after that (until people started standing up in front of me, then I had to just watch the screen....lucky there was one).
I’ve been watching these reaction videos for a year and this is the best insight and analysis I’ve heard so far.
They make the sounds while breathing in too.
That takes another level of skill.
People have moved on from the old classical stuffy rules of music.
Can you imagine something like opera trying to make sounds while breathing in? XD
I love watching you react to Pentatonix! I also admire your knowledge of all the technical aspects of the different aspects of each person in the group, alone and together. I played music in several different groups over the years, and you are teaching me things that I didn't even realize I was doing. Thank you:)
Thanks 4 reviewing PENTATONIX! 🎵✌🏼
Great reaction! Along with my other suggestions on your Hallelujah video, I think you'd really enjoy their versions of Oh Come All Ye Faithful and 12 Days of Christmas. In general, they always put a neat twist on traditional Christmas songs that make them seem new and fresh. And we Pentaholics love to hear their Christmas music year round. :)
Almost forgot about 12 Days of Christmas!!!! They make it the best Christmas song ever !
I have watched hundreds of reactors & you are the 1st one I have ever found who appreciates the breath control that they have! That is also very evident in their cover of Amazing Grace. At the beginning Kevin & Kirstie hold their note under Matts solo for like a gazillion measures! (Matt's the new bass that came on board when Avi left a few years ago - it was totally amicable) I have STILL to find where they breathe! And yes, I have tried!! I was in chorus in high school & choir at Church for many, many years, and we had to learn proper breath control. It is extremely hard. And I appreciate all of your talking! Most Pentaholics here have heard these songs hundreds of times & we're here to hear your remarks & to watch you get your mind blown! It is an addictive experience! Thank you for your knowledgeable commentary! I totally enjoyed it!! I also appreciate your intelligent sense of humor! I've subbed & will be around as long as you react to Pentatonix! 2 other A Capella groups who are ultra talented are Voiceplay and Home Free, if you want to check them out. Many Pentaholics like those 2 groups as well & will watch your reactions to them. God bless!
I listen to many comments but you are the best ! You pick up the enormous quality this daft punk has and how great each of the singers are and especially Kevin! His beat box and breathing technique is of the chart !
Wow, thanks!
Please listen to PTX. Cover of Kiera’s “Gold”. It’s truly a good look at how they work and it’s simply amazing
You are terrific.Keep teaching your way.
Excellent observation of the breathing technique challenge and thanks for emphasizing just how hard Kevin had to work to do all he does as the beat box Master! Avi's bass lines are ridiculous!!!
YOU are great; intelligent, knowledgeable, not over the top in your reactions, you explain things not over the heads of us non-musicians, you're not loud; you are well packaged. You only break when it's necessary. This is the 3rd vid that I've seen of yours and I have subscribed bc I want to keep coming back. I will of course be coming back mostly for my beloved PTX but will scan your playlist for others that i recognize and also to get a handle on who you are and what you might have to offer in the future. Be well and "Keep on Truckin'".
What's important to note about their Grammy is that is was for Arranging. Not performance, but the arrangement , which you clearly appreciated in your commentary.
Gotta agree..otherworldly! Love the tech part of your breakdown.
I absolutely agree that this song is perfection and can't be done any better.
I also agree on the breathing... but, BUT, you forget that this is heavily edited, again BUT, they've performed this live to perfection, so obviously editing isn't the thing. Obviously, they've mastered the breathing.
Obscenely talented professionals.
I’m a Pentaholic, so your channel finally came up in my suggestions feed! You’re going to get many more Pentaholics (if you haven’t already), I like the detail that you go into with your reactions. I think that all Pentaholics will enjoy this level of detail.
Why don’t you watch it and react first, then watch it again and feedback. So. You get to enjoy it and then vocally react to it. I enjoy all of the facets that you bring out and would LOVE to hear the bits that you miss out! A new subscriber (for as long as you react to PTX 😉).
I'm a non musical person I only know what I like to listen to, I love your reaction and all you knowledge you make it so interesting. Subscribed.
Had to go back and find the video. If you’re interested in breathing and breath control take a look at the PTX Carol of the Bells. Some have commented on when Mitch takes a breath during the opening verse(s) since it lasts so long and the quality of his voice doesn’t seem to change during that intro. I’m sure there are other examples, Avi holding a single note for 10 seconds or more without an apparent breath. Glad to see you are posting a few more reactions. BTW, there is a “private performance “ video of this song which was done live, without mics and sounds as good as the video.
Great reaction... I'm a PENTAHOLIC... They are simply the best.
PLEASE since you love singing and guitar, watch Kevin do his solo cover of Down!!! He shows off the best of his incredible talent!!!
Oh, yes!!! That will blow your mind! He is multi-multi-multi talented in many areas. Speaks Mandarin & studied medicine at Harvard (I believe- someone please correct me if I'm wrong!) Kevin played saxaphone at Carnegie Hall when he was 17. You should watch that video as well! His cello playing is off the charts amazing & he is extremely creative! Can you tell I love Kevin?! Lol! If he ever needs a 2nd Mama in his life, I'm volunteering!! (Yeah- he's my favorite!)
@@beverlykrebs4372 It was Yale but still Ivy League :) Yes Kevin is such a beast...i often wonder you know what?? I bet he could fly if he put his mind to it :)
@@taligeoghan7245 Thank you! Yes, I would not be surprised at all! And with a new baby in the house, that would make those trips to go out for diapers a lot easier! Just spread those musical wings & soar! LOL!!
@@beverlykrebs4372 hahahhahah yes lol...and can u just imagine how lucky that baby girl is..those lullabies gonna be SNATCHED!!!
@@taligeoghan7245 Oh yes! I can't wait to see how talented she is when she grows up!!! If he teaches her all his skills she will be amazing! (My dad taught me how to dig up worms & took me fishing! Still, he was Daddy & I loved him!)
Keven loves his cello Beyoncé. Oh and they won a Grammy. You should check out pentotodric.
Thanks for this…anything you do with the Pentatonix is great with me.
Glad you enjoy it!
This was a nice reaction 👍🏽👍🏽
Avi is the most supernatural when it comes to breathing - very few spaces for him. And the bass slides! Have you seen their beginning on The Sting Off? You can see their journey - Ari and Kevin just morphed into the best drum and bass combo they'd ever seen. If you haven't seen their Sing Off journey, you're missing out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great reaction! I love listening to your breakdowns. I have learned so much. Please keep the PTX coming. I could listen to them all day. 💕
Can’t wait to see all your PTX reactions.
Awesome reaction!!!! Please include Hallelujah and Bohemian Rhapsody by Pentatonix in your reaction . You won't regret it.
This is my very favorite reaction video!
Lookn for the live performance for vip performance on this one. It is really impressive.
YES!! It was...like no fancy equipment or microphones...just them standing in a room doing their thing :)
I’ve heard several reactors who have a great deal of technical knowledge about music. Most are a bit boring because they just can’t explain the technologies for non-specialists. However, I truly enjoyed your explanations of the techniques PTX used in this presentation. Thanks so much for the education. It has been an extremely enjoyable experience.
I know from other songs that they stagger their breaths, so they breathe when another one is singing
I would highly recommend watching their Evolution of... videos. They're live, one-take and really show the complexity of their arrangements and crazy talent. Doing them in chronological order will show their growth, too. Loving your reactions!
LOVING your reactions and breakdowns of their skill and other information. Very educational at points. Two things I'm not sure you're aware of however. 1) When they do the harmonies, often Scott will be middle-harmony between Kirstin (Kirsty sounds like thirsty). Which is amusing as he's actually a baritone (covering for bass when Avi or Matt sings higher). And that Avi (the bass in this one) can do overtone singing, and often adds sounds to a song that might normally be attributed to Kevin. NOT that I am trying to diminish at all anything Kevin pulls off.
You must, seriously, you must see their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. The guitar solo is brilliant. Please don’t apologize for talking too much. We love it all and I enjoy reactions when I can learn more about music. ☮️💟
Glasses Kingdom: 'what the ABCD F is going on?"
