I’ve been a Pentatonix fan for many years, but this song just drives home the fact that they can be so powerful and emotional with no instruments. They are the best a cappella band ever!
I just love that lyric ‘The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls’ . The song is like part of the soundtrack of my childhood, amazing that you are discovering it now.
Thank you for your comment - I’m discovering a lot on this reaction journey which I’m so thankful and grateful for😊.
If you like Kevin, watch Kevin's 5th, and Kiss From a Rose
I agree -- here's the best (IMO) Kevin's 5th - ruclips.net/video/DbCasvcNx78/видео.html
Or any of Kevin's pieces from his YT channel...KO Kevin Olusola. He's amazing with what he can do with his mouth and body...and his cello.
I’ll look it up - thanks
I would suggest that you watch Kevin's Fifth. It is a live performance, and Scott does a great introduction of Kevin. It is AMAZING! I was privileged to be able to see their Christmas show where this was performed.
Classic song with a modern twist.. beautiful
So beautiful😊
Recommend their cover of The Prayer.
Thanks for the recommendation - will look into it😊
Wonderful reaction! Yes...they really do all the songs without instruments. Occasionally Kevin will play his cello or Scott the piano. If you see an instrument in the video...that is the only instrument that is included in the song. Kevin is a world class beatboxer and cellist ( he also plays saxaphone and keyboard, but not for Pentatonix) and can beatbox WHILE playing the cello.
Songs where Kevin is playing and beatboxing:
Perfect, Say Something, Kiss From A Rose, Radioactive, Over The River, Shallow, Papaoutai.
Oh...Matt plays drums and both Scott and Mitch both play the piano. I'm not sure if Kirstie plays an instument.
WOW! They all multi-talented😊. Thanks for the info
Its a great work and i think you will like the the Pentatonix Version of "Mad World" too.
Thank you for reacting to this PTX "upgrade" of The Sound Of Silence. Kevin is a force of nature! Sometimes they do use an instrument, but when they do you will see it in the video. Check Kevin out in the Vevo Live performance of Kiss From A Rose. He is a world class cello player, and can beatbox while he is playing. He's amazing as all the members of this group are.😍
Amazing to know! I’ll that out. Thanks a lot
Lovely song choice and your reaction is incredible
Thank you so much
Excellent reaction
oohwee, Pink Floyd and now Pentatonix, this will be sooo fun.
This is the first time for me listening to one of your reactions on your channel. And I have to say I definitely will be looking some more of your reactions! This is hands-down the best reaction that I’ve heard for Pentatonix! You should have way more followers!
Pentatonix songs suggestions:
**List may contain some songs you may have reacted to**
Hallelujah, The Sound of Silence, Daft Punk, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Cheerleader (OMI Cover), 12 Days Of Christmas, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, 90’s Dance Medley, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mad World, Wizard of Ahhhs (a montage of several modern songs made to tell the classic story of wizard of oz), Radioactive, Problem, Say Something, Kiss From a Rose (live vevo), Jolene, Royals, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, Be my eyes, Sing, Coffee in Bed, the Prayer, Blinding Lights, Dreams.
SO MANY MORE TOO MANY TO LIST BUT THIS IS A GOOD START. ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY TO THE RABBIT HOLE KNOWN AS… PENTATONIX.
Thanks a lot for the recommendation…
Great reaction my friend!
Thank you for this. Appreciate you. Greetings from South Africa
Thanks a lot for your comment😊.
That was simply, amazingly, beautifully done ❤.

Majestueux 😊
Thank you😊

Pentatonix History…..composed by Alan Freeman updated by Perry Stevenson
They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America′s Got Talent as non−competitors a couple of years after that.
The founding members are:-
Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five−to−six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead);
Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhymes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); For a time in 2018 between the group’s tours, had the female lead on Broadway in the production of “Kinky Boots”.
Mitch Grassi (a true contra−tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease);
Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair), true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; and
Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world−class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre−med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese).
Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on RUclips, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga′s "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings.
Scott & Kirstie (who were a class year ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC and Kirstie at Oklahoma.
While at USC, Scott joined a USC−based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition.
They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi′s performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his RUclips videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello−Boxing".
Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re−arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five−piece group for less that 24 hours!
Oh, yes, the name. Pentatonix is named for the pentatonic scale, which has five (penta) tones just as Pentatonix has five (Penta) singers. In other words, it's a fancier way of saying they're now "The Quintet."
They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on RUclips), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building.
But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn′t think an acappella group could sell records.
Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on RUclips, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them sitting on a couch and performing cover songs live.
Several of the videos went viral, and Sony (the parent company of Epic) decided to give them another chance by placing them on one of their smaller labels, Madison Gate. They released two secular EPs and one Christmas EP on Madison Gate, all of which were strong sellers.
But when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super−viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony′s top label.
They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best−selling genre), and have had multi−platinum album sales, sold−out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys.
Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry.
Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) joined them in September 2017. He did only become official when they renewed their RCA contract in February 2018, but he recorded with them in September as a featured artist and went on their Christmas tour as a featured artist, as well. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group.
If you think there have been other changes to the line up - look again. This is the ONLY change. Kirstie and Mitch are like chameleons and change looks frequently.
After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre.
Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. good watch is "The Recording of Evergreen" where a camera was invited into the studio for the second week of recording/
Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work.
Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place.
The 3 Grammys they’ve won include….
(1)Daft Punk for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella……
(2)Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella….
(3) Jolene w/Dolly Parton for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
They were nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album “Evergreen” for Best Traditional Vocal Album.
They were also nominated for a 5th Grammy award for their album “Holidays Around The World” for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
They have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame installed in February 2023. THEY ARE THE ONLY ACAPELLA GROUP WITH A STAR!!!!
UPDATE: Pentatonix has also done 9 intros for Thursday Night Football based on their original song “sing”. Links for 3 of them are ruclips.net/video/HrruJptmbKU/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/zTUSB4iwTII/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/e2pvITc9a3U/видео.html
UPDATE: Pentatonix has done a cameo appearance in the new movie “Candy Cane Lane” starring Eddie Murphy. They are the carolers.
UPDATE: Pentatonix sang the National Anthem at the 2023 College Football National Championship game. Link is ruclips.net/video/fqWY2EUGlgk/видео.html
UPDATE: They came in 3rd in the 2023 Masked Singer performing as "California Rolls" being unmasked in May 23.
UPDATE: The trio of Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie also appeared as guest stars in an episode of the crime drama "Bones." Scott's song, "Light in the Hallway," sung by Avi, was played as the credits rolled.
UPDATE: Pentatonix was featured in the movie "Pitch Perfect 2" as a Canadian a Capella group.
Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. Mid March 2023 Kirstie has announced that she is engaged to Ben Hausdorff, their videographer. UPDATE…Kirsten and Ben got married 04/24/24.
It is an often debated subject among the Pentaholics as to just how soon we introduce the "Beginners Guide" as we don't want to overdo the introduction. This is a compilation of snips of a whole load of songs which PTX have released. It highlights each member with some of their solos and then a brief history in video. It is quite long - 14+ minutes and is a little dated now (Feb 2020) but is a good watch ruclips.net/video/lDxIfwfCmQE/видео.html&pp=ygUdYmVnaW5uZXJzIGd1aWRlIHRvIHBlbnRhdG9uaXg%3D.
Things you need to know because if you get these wrong “Pentaholics” will come after you with pitch forks and torches! Ha Ha Ha!!
1- There is NO Auto-Tune; what you hear is actually what they sing. They really are that good. One exception is the 90's Dance Medley where Cher used auto-tune as an effect - so they had to.
2- What produces everything that you hear in the video, you see in the official video. If there is an instrument used in the music, you see it on screen. In the 2022 Christmas album, there are some instruments not featured throughout the album.
3- They never release something on video they can’t reproduce with the exact same quality live on-stage.
This is so great to know! Thank you so much! I appreciate
Great reaction!
Thank you😊
I think you would enjoy watching Pentatonix when they first started on the show "The Singoff". You can see them raw. The first performance is "E.T." Please react to this. We love watching reactors react to these. Have a great day.
Thanks for the recommendation - I’ll look it up
Hi Franklyn, I just discovered your channel and have a video that I think you'll really enjoy and appreciate. The singer is a fifteen-year-old Dutch girl named Emma Kok. Emma has overcome something very big in her life, you'll hear about it in her introduction before she performs. This video went viral, it has over 57 million views since last August. Enjoy:
*15 Year Old Emma Kok Sings Voilà - André Rieu, Maastricht 2023 (official video)* ruclips.net/video/KdIhq1tb8Co/видео.html
NOTE: Emma sings in French but she doesn't speak it, she had someone teach her the proper pronunciation. Here's the English translation:
Listen to me, me, the half singer
Talk about me, to your loved ones, to your friends
Tell them about this little girl with black eyes and crazy dreams
What I want is to write stories that you will hear about
That's all
[Chorus]
Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if I'm scared as I'm naked, yes
Here I am in the noise and in silence
[Verse 2]
Look at me, or at least what's left of it
Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I say that another hasn't already said?
I don't have much, but I place here what I do have
Voilà
[Chorus]
Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
That's my face, that's my scream, here I am, too bad
Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà right here
Me, my dream, my will, how I'm dying from it, how I'm laughing at it
Here I am in the noise and in silence
[Verse 3]
Do not leave, I'm begging you to stay for a long time
It might not save me, no
But I don't know how to live without you
Love me how you would love a friend who's leaving forever
I want to be loved, because I don't know myself how to like the shape of me
[Chorus]
Voilà, voilà, voilà, here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
Here I am in the noise and in rage too
Finally, look at me and my eyes and my hands
All I have is here, it's my face, it's my scream
Here I am, here I am, here I am
Voilà, voilà
Voilà, voilà
Matt’s name is pronounced suhLEE
Thanks a lot for that
Made your heart to pitty pat.
Sub for more PTX reaction... ill recommend you react to next Imagine
