Suggestions -- Problem, Cheerleader, La La latch, Sing. Or just go through their channel and pick something that looks interesting to you. There's no bad choices.
When they perform this song, there’s a moving Alice in Wonderland type background (giant toadstools, etc) that moves right to left, so it looks like they’re walking/traveling across the stage. Very fun!
It’s a cover on an indie guy Cosmo Sheldrake. I listened to the original and ofc I think Pentatonix brought it to life. I read a quote that Mitch said he still doesn’t know what the song means. It’s just fun & great voices. I’d love to see your reaction their cover of My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music. Again it’s upbeat & fun but also has a more intricate set & there’s some choreography (they hardly ever have any choreography). Thanks for this reaction. It really is one of my favorites ✌️💚
@@MetalGuyReacts save my favorite things for Christmas. It's not technically a Christmas song but that's what album they released it on and it does seem to have become a Christmas song in the last twenty years or so.
@@brutalfashion the original is terrible and very much lacking energy. I watched the original video because someone said they preferred it and I was like ok I'll give it a shot. Absolutely not worth it.
I usually put that quote in the comments but I had other things I wanted to say so I was making sure someone did it for me. Thank you for doing it for me. Mitch starts by asking if there are any chior nerds in the audience and that they are choir nerds. Then he says the next couple of songs are choral inspired. Then he says the things you said. Pentaholics are always in the job!! Cool!
In live concerts they have a huge projection behind them of a bright psychedelic jungle or garden of weird mushrooms and plants, as if they are tiny wandering through. It's kind of cute and reminds me of concerts in the late 60's and early 70's. Very Alice In Wonderland-ish.
It took me several listens to realize they weren’t singing “green anger and boredom”. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what constituted ‘green’ anger 🤦♀️. This is one of my favs, but absolutely no idea what it means. Thanks for the great reaction!
Thank you for sharing your ADHD, I too have ADHD and can totally relate to your analysis of the business of the songs and the never ending speed of our brains.
@Metal Guy Reacts, Man, I’m not sure what it is about your channel, but I love the genuine reactions that you give. I love seeing someone that truly enjoys the music and is able to articulate how incredible this group is. Definitely my favorite reactor to listen to…keep up the good work. When you get time (and if you haven’t heard it already), will you pleeeease do a reaction to Kevin performing “Down.” I know you understand how gifted this young man is and I think it would blow your mind to see him put all of his talents on display in one video. Check it out! 🤘🏼
Thank you so much Talley! I really do want to give genuine reactions. I’m trying to not overhype or just sit there, but truly say and react how I normally would. I think reactions are such a fun way to share music we love. Thanks again and I’ll add Down to my list. 🤘🏼🤘🏼😊😊
This is a cover not an original, but as usual, Pentatonix really makes every piece they cover feel unique in their own special way. Their ability to arrange a familiar song and make it sound totally new with their incredible vocal ability never ceases to amaze me. As a funny aside, I first heard this song played in a television commercial and really didn't care for it at first thanks to how absurdly overplayed it was. Then, when Pentatonix put out this cover I fell in love and couldn't stop playing it! Gotta love the irony. 😂
I totally understand what you mean about the adhd thing. That was a brilliant analogy!! I was a teacher so besides being borderline ADHD myself, I had kids who's parents took their medicine instead so I had to deal with them all day with no medicine and these were kids that the meds really helped. If you have no checked out the cover of Megan Trainor's "NO" yet please do. Mitch is so full of sass and happy/hyper in that video it's amazing.
This is part of PTX's genius. I have heard/seen the original indie version once and wouldn't bother with it again. But PTX spotted the potential within and elevated it to greatness.
The original (which I just listened to for the 2nd time to remind myself of how Cosmo arranged it) is downright dreary. Same tune (ish) but slower by a significant margin and just ... grim. Plus this insanely long lead-in which is mostly percussive and just off-putting. I have to call it the same song because it's the same tune and the same lyrics, but they couldn't be further apart, emotionally. Well, they could, but ugh. There's certainly nothing "high-energy" about it.
In terms of high energy, I highly recommend their cover of "Can't Hold Us". And (in a very different way) their cover of "Somebody That I Used To Know".
This song always makes me want to dance especially when I'm stuck at a light while I'm driving. And this song and home free's version of Shakira's song try everything always make me happy.
I love this song and Pentatonix video. Thank you for reacting to it since it's one of my favorites. The whole video is awesome but I especially love when Mitch and Matt have that moment near the end. Mitch being Mitch and Matt weaving in and out = magic. The original artist/writer Cosmo Sheldrake posted a comment in the Comments section of the Pentatonix video thanking them for covering his song. So cool.
As others have said, it's a cover. I first learned about the original from, of all places, an Apple TV commercial (link: ruclips.net/video/UfiAr48KyRM/видео.html). That led me to check out Cosmo Sheldrake, who is an incredible artist. When I discovered that PTX made a cover, that was a "drop everything" moment for me. Edit: I'd be remiss to leave out a direct link to the original song! Here is it: ruclips.net/video/bIyl9bCp6W4/видео.html, go give Cosmo some love.
This is one of my favourite arrangements of them, it's so different from the original, and may I say better. You should react to My Favourite Things (Kirstie really shines on that one) and try some of their originals like Love Again, Sing, Happy Now and Be My Eyes.
I just love this piece also. It IS a cover, although I don't think I ever heard the original (until after I heard PTX's cover). I love everything about it also, and the closing harmony is amazing.
Someone already mentioned it is originally by Cosmo Sheldrake. It became popular when Apple used it to advertise the upgraded camera on one of their many iPhones. This is an absolute favorite of mine, so thanks for reacting to it! A wonderful reaction as always. Here is the original: ruclips.net/video/bIyl9bCp6W4/видео.html Here is the iPhone commercial: ruclips.net/video/UfiAr48KyRM/видео.html
I had to check. It is a cover. Original sang by Adventure Time. Never heard the original. Yes it is very high energy but the amazing thing is they are just sitting-not something you would expect with a high energy song. But I think their outfits add to the feel of energy. Just my thoughts. One of the things I love about PTX is usually each member gets a turn. Each member does something that is essential to their version of the song. Thanks for the fun reaction.
This Cosmo Sheldrake song was made somewhat famous when it was used in an Apple advert for the iPhone. Although you might barely recognize it from the PTX arrangement. The original was not quite as energetic.
Thank you Catherine! Your comment is so kind and uplifting! I love music and getting to share the experience of listening to new music with everyone is such a blast! 😊😊🤘🏼🤘🏼
Does anyone know if this song (not Pentatonix) was in an older holiday movie? I keep thinking I heard this before in the movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" starring Jim Carry as the Grinch. I am going to have to pull out my DVD of that movie and watch it again I guess. LOL
Just looked it up, it is by Cosmo Sheldrake. I don't know who that is, but he wrote a fun song. When something starts with Hefalumps how can it be bad? Side note: my first concert was KISS, don't want to say when lol, but it was amazing.
In high school I saw CBD in concert with a friend. Wasn't a big fan but it was something different for me to experience. Their only well known song I can remember was a cover called Let's groove. I was a young adult when I saw Mental as anything. Now that was awesome
I look forward to your reaction to their newest cover, "I Just Called to Say I Love You". Here is the link: Pentatonix - "I Just Called To Say I Love You" - Visualizer - RUclips
I can gush about the video. I watched it so many times. Notice their chairs. Kirstie has a higher chair. Kevin and Matt have really low chairs. Mitch and Scott is a little lower than Kirstie . I know it’s for visual reasons keeping their heads for recording.
If you want to keep up with a song that's mind boggling fast, if you haven't already, react to their version of McLemore and Ryan Lewis' Can't Hold Us.
I just discovered your channel and subscribed, enjoy your reaction and analysis. noticed you haven't reacted to "Voctave" a large Acapella group with many great songs, might I suggest "Disney Princess Medley"
I haven't seen you react to an original of them, but if you want to try your hand at one I can recommend this oldie " Love Again" ruclips.net/video/F80FsZDTgn0/видео.html It's such a cool vibe and still one of my personal favs :-)

PENTATONIX version of this song makes me SO HAPPY!!!💖
I love this song!
There's a few lines that make me think of Dr. Suess or like magical creatures

@@MetalGuyReacts save my favorite things for Christmas. It's not technically a Christmas song but that's what album they released it on and it does seem to have become a Christmas song in the last twenty years or so.
I have to agree. The original seems terrible in comparison. No energy!

Two other high energy tunes by Pentatonix are Can't Hold Us and Cruisin' For A Bruisin'
Check out their cover of Papaoutai. It features Lindsey Stirling and Scott sings in French.
Strangely, Papaoutai is one of the few PTX pieces I don't like. But I bow to everyone owning their own opinion and I'm glad you like it.
In live concerts they have a huge projection behind them of a bright psychedelic jungle or garden of weird mushrooms and plants, as if they are tiny wandering through. It's kind of cute and reminds me of concerts in the late 60's and early 70's. Very Alice In Wonderland-ish.
Another really fun one is Sing, from their early days!! And their new album Evergreen drops Oct 29!!!!
They all have their moments but Mitch, Kirstin. OMG! 🙏🔥🔥❤️
The original is by Cosmo Sheldrake and not quite as...high energy :D
It took me several listens to realize they weren’t singing “green anger and boredom”. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what constituted ‘green’ anger 🤦♀️. This is one of my favs, but absolutely no idea what it means. Thanks for the great reaction!
🤯 OMG! I thought it was GREEN also. I literally learned it's GREED after reading your comment.
I assumed Green meant Envy. 💚😬☺️😂
Same, I discovered it was greed not green after looking up lyrics. Before that I was like...Green anger = Hulk smash?
I just saw a reaction to a live performance of this, and I highly recommend it
Thank you for sharing your ADHD, I too have ADHD and can totally relate to your analysis of the business of the songs and the never ending speed of our brains.
It's BOUNCY I love this one, thank you for doing it, not enough reactors do! I always get a 'Day of the Dead' feeling!
Energy needed? "Can't Hold Us" or "Sing", or their early original "Love Again" This one always makes me feel good! so Thanks!!
I just love this cover by PTX! Positive high energy for sure!!

Love your reactions! Two of my favorites (older ones) are La La Latch and Rather Be. Hope you will check them out!
Please react to their original song Sing. If you think this was high energy, just watch that one!
I recommend La la latch or where are u now ptx covers, or anchor or cant sleep love ptx originals.
Anchor is amazing!
Did you know Mitch and Scott had a little musical thing on the side called SuperFruit? Really cool stuff from these two, go check 'em out!
Love this! It's so fun. Really enjoy your reactions, look forward to the next 🙂
Thank you Becca! I’ve fallen deep into the PTX rabbit hole 😆 And I’m loving it! 😊🤘🏼🤘🏼

A cover, Cosmos thanked Pentatonix for covering his song, which is so awesome. Such a great song to start your morning in a happy 😊 way!
Yes! I'm in love with their version, but I feel like it's not the first choise for reactions
Love this video✌️💚
It definitely was a great video
Yes a cover. Can't remember artist but he did thanked them for doing his song. I also think it was in the Johnny Depp Charlie and the Choc. Factory
Love Scott's lime green pimp suit.
Loved it. Actually the first time listening to it, and I loved it.

The original was used in an Apple commercial several years ago, with tons of people in different primary colored clothes running through city streets.
Love this song!
Great reaction to this super upbeat song!
It is a cover. I wish I could remember the artist. Someone I'd never heard of before I heard this.
Nope, PTX doesn't do covers, they do upgrades. I listened to the original. Didn't like it. Love the PTX version.
I love that they take song I never heard of and make me fall in love with them !!

So fun! 😍👍🏻💙💗💚🧡💛 👏🏻
Song written by Cosmos Sheldrake an artist from the UK
Shout-out to your shirt, Jeff.
What's your favorite KISS song? Mine is Beth.
Definitely a cover, but wayyyy different from the original

Got to watch A Little Bit Of Space with Ateez or White Winter Hymn or Butter x Dynamite
OMG, you are so right, this tickles my ADHD brain specifically. It's so beautiful!
Same here! If this was 200% speed and playing 24/7, that would be my mind 😆

Check out their cover of Somebody That I Use To Know. It’s done in a stairwell and it’s amazing of what they can do
Great reaction.
You really love Kirsten. Have you listened to any of her solo work??
Try Cheerleader next, its another happy song.
It's a cover by Cosmo Sheldrake.
You should also check out all of the songs that Peter Holland does

Cosmo Sheldrake did the original
🤯❤️🤯❤️🤯❤️🤯
Why is Scott dressed like the Riddler 😂
The original by Cosmo Sheldrake is pretty different not as high energy you should take a listen
Please listen and react to Mitch in “your power” cover for billie elish. A very very angelic performance
It's a cover.
