You should react to the Oogie Boogie Song Acapella cover by VoicePlay you're very welcome ;)

FYI: it's Kirsten, not Kristen, as in kEARsten (Love your personality. Keep up the great work.)

Check out Pentatonix Mary Did You Know, you will love it 👍

You should really watch their "No" cover from Meaghan Trainor. It's one of Avi's best bass performance ever with some very loooooooong low notes.

As a bass singer, please tell me you have heard of Tim Storms. Please please please please look up Tim Storms - Lonesome Road.

I KNOOOOW! He said three words in the first second and I had to pause the video and ask myself why I haven't heard of him yet...

@@mosesnyateko4564 Exactly!

Yes!

Exactly, he has a lovely speaking voice!

I agree. I've listened to dozens of reactors but I've never come across your channel until now. The second you began talking, there was no doubt that you are a singer! Beautiful speaking voice and I'm sure an equally beautiful singing voice! Love your discussion of the music, too.

Well said.

Yesssssss

Yep male voices tend to lowers quite a bit when they get in their 30s. Look at geoff at around 2014, it sounds more of a baritone voice

Yes, the bass voice does tend to deepen and get darker as the singer gets older, especially if they continue singing and training. If they don't, eventually the muscles will atrophy like all muscles do with old age, and the voice will become much weaker and lose range on both ends

My dad was a bass all his life. He sang competitively and by the time he reached his 80’s he was a tenor.

I'm much closer to the layperson end of the music spectrum, but I absolutely agree with Beth Clarke- I love the deep dives, and I'll be looking for more. Thanks!

This is brilliant. The holy trinity.

I completely agree with you about the holy trinity. You explained it perfectly. I had never really thought of it in that way. But then I have been living under a rather large rock as I had never heard of PTX until a few days ago when a friend sent me a message with SOS by them. I was blown away! She knows I love acapella groups and SOS. We are both in our 60's and remember when S&G first put it out. I turned her on to Disturbd's version. She liked it too. Guess we're not too old to appreciate new takes on a great song, huh? Great talent comes in all age groups and in all genres of music! She and I can both appreciate them all!

Yeah I was hoping he would notice it... Scott covers the bass really well.

And you missed the modulation before verse 4 of Kirstin. But apart from that - neat analysis!

Thank you. I've watched tons of Reacts/Reviews on this and everybody overlooks Scott's bass in verse 3. I was hoping this guy would throw and accolade his way being a bass singer, but alas.

@@helenat2446 they did tell it in one interview that they were double tracking for some of the recorded version (Like Halleluia, you can clearly hear Scott doing ouhh and ahhs with Kirstin and Mitch while he's replacing Avi, and here too you can here him doing other notes with the bass line he's should be singing! :p

That made me chuckle too when he said it :P

I had the same reaction!😂

Same here, completely caught me off guard. Going to have to use that regularly.

I 100% agree! I, legit, just experienced utter humiliation, due to that lil gem of an adjective! 😬🤦‍♀️ I'm in the McDonald's parking lot right now, & just watched this vid, which was my first experience w/ this channel. I had JUST taken a sip of my iced coffee, when "Emotional nards" was mic dropped, which caused my coffee to go down the wrong 'pipe', because I literally LAUGHED OUT LOUD! 😂🤣😂🤣 I could FEEL the people, in the neighboring car, staring at me, while I tried to compose myself. I was purposely not looking at them, due to my embarrassment, but I HAD to look when I heard 2 quick lil "beep beeps" of their horn. I looked next to me and saw 3 people, 2 men & 1 woman, with looks of worry & concern on their faces. The passenger rolled down his window & very kindly asked if I was choking & if I needed any help....... Oh, God, please just take me now! 🤦‍♀️ It was very nice of them to make sure I was OK, but I'm so embarrassed that I can literally FEEL how red my face is, & it's not from the coughing 😳 So, Peter, if you happen to read this message, I just wanna thank you for your very well made content/banter, the laughs, & helping to show, inadvertently, that there are still some truly KIND & COMPASSIONATE people left in the world. I'm definitely subbing & doing a deep dive into your past vids, when I get home later. I hope you, & everyone else, has a wonderful holiday, & I'm sorry for my novel length message! 🤣🤣 @Peter Barber

But - just make sure you have heard the original first.... just to see how good PTX are with this cover.

@@taniareads8751 I agree.

I can’t understand why that video hasn’t more views?! It’s phenomenal especially Mitch, Kevin and Avi parts.

He’s so positive. Kevin calls Matt his little brother. In concert Matt and Kevin have a complicated cello/cello boxing routine. They have such an outstanding rapport, and they take advantage of it!

You know I’m always here for Matt praise. I’m a little protective of him because of how some “fans” can be.

I was just talking to a friend that I loved Avi but I feel like he held PTX a bit. Matt kind of helped them more versatile and really grow and soar I feel.

I agree. Love this arrangement and Kevin and Matt are insane.

I agree. In case you haven't see it Jacob Restituto just dropped a reaction to New Rules.

Agreed 🙌

Keep suggesting it because it’s one of my faaaaaaavorites

I'm very much a layperson here. Much was made about the technique to get the sound, when I believe its the vocalization of the frustration in the actual meaning of the lyrics. Pentatonix never loses the meaning of a song. "The neon god they MADE!" Anger, frustration, being appalled at the idolatry of the wrong things. It's all there in those two words with the emphasis on the second.

I’m so sorry for your loss - I hope this song can bring you some peace ♥️

@@PeterBarber thank you

Absolutely!

Yes! That bass line is so dynamic

I mean, it's a cover. You don't wanna be a carbon copy of the original. Luckily, neither are.

No offense of pentatonix, but I much prefer disturbed version

Listen to the lyrics one sentence at a time. Trust me it wasn't meant to be a happy song. If you listen carefully to the original you can even hear it in their voices.

I so much agree with you. Sorry people, but I don't care for the Disturbed version, probably bc I grew up hearing this song from it's beginnings....so Pentatonix gets it...it is a contrast in the music and lyrics. Such an amazing song in it's own right.

Lead singer of disturbed is a classically trained vocalist. To each their own, but you can’t deny his voice. It’s different and if you don’t like Disturbed more, that gritty style just isn’t your favourite period more than likely. The song isn’t meant to be happy.

Yes! I love this one!

I agree. Sound quality isn't the greatest because it was recorded from a cell phone. And the owner clearly loves Mitch because the camera is zoomed in on him almost the whole time. But all that aside, it is a truly remarkable performance that really showcases Avi and Mitch!

He may not be ready for the Star Vista... but then again, who is ever ready for *THAT* Mitch slap?

I agree!

Agree with this 1000%. As a rule, I don't go to live events, but watching that made me decide an exception was in order. The intensity in the Singapore video is just absolutely riveting. PSA if you decide to watch it: Kevin is there to Scott's left. He's just missing at the very beginning because he was wrapping up his Cello/beatbox solo, but he slips in shortly after it starts and the camera never panned back to him.

Scott has been working on his range for years now (they all have which is kind of scary being they started with large ranges to begin with) plus male voices automatically get a little deeper as they age.

I wish!!

Yes, I have it on a loop...that's how much I like it!

Thanks, Luke! 🙏🏼

Not quite! I have what’s called strong “relative pitch” so I can usually figure out a pitch without a keyboard, but it’s not automatic like someone with perfect pitch

There's an Italian guy that reviewed 3 PTX songs (including this one, Amazing Grace and one other) that is also extremely knowledgeable, but if you're mono-lingual like me, you need to read the sub-titles. Happily, whoever did them did a really good job. He also pointed out a ton of things I wouldn't notice. I wish I could provide a link. (goes looking.... 10 minutes later - you'd be friggin' AMAZED at how many SoS reactions are out there...) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htWplMeZldOtcYU.html (edited because I originally said "Spanish" instead of "Italian.")

@@barbarabishop9362 yes, Roberto! He's Italian and he has done wonderful analysis on PTX. And yes, there's English subtitles, but it's also a bonus to hear him speak his beautiful language. "Profundo y rotundo!" 🙂
