Matt....Sound of Silence....and he is the bass. Scott is the baritone.

Makes you feel good. You want to dance to it.

You can not be sad or angry with this song. It makes me smile the minute it starts.

Completely different vibe... Really great!

Thanks guys. Such a feel good song. Glad you got to see that Scott does not always take the lead. But when he does it is always fantabulous 🤩 Matt’s Bass was also on show in this one as well. Mitch hit the high notes, the look on your faces said it all, I believe gentlemen you may have been Mitch slapped. Kirsty & Kevin as always impeccable. Hope you don’t take too long between drinks with Pentatonix. They always try to bring something different to the table.

The original song has much more of a creepy/halloween feel to it. Slower and starts with a very long purely instrumental intro. I love how Pentatonix took it and completely changed the mood to make it upbeat and really uplifting.

BP1 =John McEnroe on a bad hair day. BP2= Elton John with his great grandad's court wig on, classic, love 'em both good laugh.

Absolutely LOVE the HAIR ❤️‍🔥

I read an opinion, which I agree with, that the lyrics are about run along to bed and read bedtime stories. Huffalumps from Winnie the Pooh, slithy toths from Alice in Wonderland, etc. Great fun watching you react to it.

I love this song as done by PTX! Love the references to Winnie the Pooh, Jabberwocky, and The Odyssey. Love the upbeat and colorful way they did it…..particularly Scott’s green pimp suit!

Great reaction! Someone ask Mitch what this song was about in an interview and he said I don't know but it's fun to sing!🤣

Well, that's a surprise choice, but there are so darn many it's hard to choose! Can't wait for you to do Say Something. It really showcases Kirstie.

I love this one. So different and again, the arrangement is stellar. Thank you both. 🤗

Hello Brit Pops. So glad this was your May Spotlight. This is one of my favourite PTX covers. Fantastic tempo and pace. The impeccable arrangement, vocals and wardrobe!! Mood-lifters indeed. All five of them are superb - Kirstie's tones so sharp and beautiful, Scott so raspy, Matt so warm and deep, Kevin on that beat-boxing, but Mitch with his golden tones before taking off into the stratosphere and then the lullaby at the end is just beyond exceptional. Did he break your Mitchometer? Great reaction. More PTX please.

Total bop! You cannot help dancing around when that chorus hits. Thanks for remembering to rewind after pausing. Nice reaction, guys. 👍🏻

The original song was used by Apple in a commercial. I've listened to the original, but much prefer the PTX upgrade. The hair styles are great. Yes, you were Mitch slapped. Maybe you should watch the PTX journey from the sing off season 3. Include the judges comments. Start with the first performance. Enjoy

A mood vacuum….I love it!!! I do know that they always make me feel better, smile more, laugh and sometimes emotional cry. Thanks for all the PTX. This is a very uplifting song 💕

That has got to be one of my favorite feelgood songs ever! They seemed to have such a good doing it as well…

I love this song! Part Nightmare before Christmas part Jabberwocky.

Scott not getting any front time .. unusual, still great. Kudos Kirstie.

Cosmo.sheldrake left a message on PTX version saying thank you once again for covering my song

Dropping another comment because I was half asleep on my last one and I forgot something... As a group, there aren't any backing tracks as such on any of their stuff. They used some looping for the percussion sounds in 'I saw Three Ships' as doing that live with singing too would be difficult (but they made all the sounds themselves. You really need to watch their 'Recording of Evergreen' video at some point. It's around 15/20 minutes long but it's fascinating. The amount of work they put into a single phrase is nuts, and they are perfectionists). Anyway, they rarely use an instrument, and if they do you see it in the video. Usually it's Kevin's cello, though Scott wrote a beautiful seasonal song called 'Thank You' where Kevin's cello supports while Scott plays the piano. Scott and Mitch are both accomplished pianists, while Kevin plays... I think 4?.. instruments, including the sax. Their side projects DO have backing tracks. Scott and Mitch generally do all of it for their Superfruit stuff, unless I'm mistaken, and Mitch does everything - from writing, performing the backing tracks (usually synth heavy) and producing his own work under his 'Messer' moniker. I'm not sure if Kirsten had input on the instrumental side, but I believe she wrote all the tracks on her solo album a few years ago. They all contribute in the writing of their original stuff. My two favourites from Kirsten that she wrote and leads on, are 'Water' ( one of the lives from 'Popspring 2016'), and 'Be My Eyes' from a couple of years ago. Cool video for that one. They each filmed separately due to Covid, but it comes together really well. Big essay there, but you DID ask. And you know me, always a fountain of (sometimes) useful knowledge 😂😂😂 I'll go away now.

You two look absolutely stunning. Lol! Come Along has always been one of my favorites, love your reaction. Thank you!

Unique and memorable. It's one of those songs that is so distinctive that you recognize it immediately

Excellent performance, brilliant voices!Bravo! Thank you, friends, as always a wonderful reaction!👏👏👏🇷🇺

How about trying one of their originals. Happy Now or Sing are both ones I use to jump start my day!

Ha! I had a feeling you might do this one after I saw your reply to the suggestion last week. Any excuse to get the wigs out, eh? 😆 Ollie calls this one 'the bouncy song', which is kind of perfect. You can't help but bounce along to it. I love 99% of their stuff, and this one is no exception. I believe this was post- Broadway for Kirsten, and you can see her confidence shining, which I love ❤️ I'm so pleased you highlighted Matt! He's such a gem, and often is (unfairly) overshadowed because everyone loves Avi. Matt is perfect for PTX! Not that Avi wasn't, but musically Matt is on their wavelength. You should look at the Kirsten heavy ones when you come back to them, such as Shallow, Say Something, or Can you feel the love tonight? But before that, absolutely check out Sound of Silence. Not only do Matt and and Kirsten have great solos in there (Kirsten really flexing her powerhouse vocals), but Scott and Mitch both sing in their lower registers, which is quite rare. Well, Mitch is still pretty high, but not super high. Lol. Plus I'm still waiting to see how you score it after you reacted to Disturbed's version. Got to see my theory tested! And you know, Kirsten has solo stuff too! Thanks for such a fab month! I've been royally entertained! ❤

Thank you for spotlighting Pentatonix for May. They are incredible. "Come Along" is one of my all=time favorite Pentatonix videos. I am very happy that you chose to react to it. The more Pentatonix videos that you watch the more you will see different leads for songs. They never let egos get involved. They choose whichever voice is best for the parts of the songs that they are arranging.

BP1, I absolutely agree with you about Pentatonix lifting the mood. During the first year of COVID, living on my own and being shut out of my job, listening to Pentatonix helped keep me sane. They are so fun and creative. I'm sorry this will be your last spotlight for May, but I will be checking out further reactions.

I saw an opinion, which I agree with, that the song lyrics are about reading bedtime stories. Great reaction

You are right about PTX changing the mood. Most of the time it makes you smile. When they put their creative, collective minds to it they produce beautiful arrangements.

My favourite part is Mitch at the end with the La Dah Dahs.... so pure.

They're just having so much fun that it's contagious. You can't help but smile. Pentatonix as a cure for depression. Could you let me know where you get your hair? I could definitely use some. On to June!

7:28 "we see more of her in this one" Well, your not wrong....

"We're seeing more of her in this"; no kidding.😁

I can completely see the Winnie The Pooh or Alice In Wonderland group singing this at a tea party. Incredible feel happy song, actually one of my favorites, you just can’t help but smile ❤️. Thank you both 😊

I love this one! 🙌🏼🤩

Another great one. Definitely a mood lifter! It always reminds me of Peter Pan or Alice in Wonderland for some reason. Loving the mullets again. Smashy and Nicey reference is spot on, I knew last week you were reminding me of someone but couldn't put my finger on it!

"we see more of her, and it's great..." Yes we do... And yes it is 🤤

Matt is a bass....I call him a chocolaty bass...very smooth. They do tend to upgrade their covers, so I'm not sure, but this is probably no exception.

LOVE this one! Thank you!

Matt does the bass - Scott is a baritone most of the time, unless Matt or Avi had the lead

The first time I heard Come along was by Ladysmith Black Mombazo a group that were big in South Africa way back with Paul Simon in his African concert. Been a while so I will have to look it up and get back to you.

They asked, hey guys, what colors do we want to use for the Come Along Video? and Pentatonix just said, YES! the original moves more slowly, their version is way better. Really, I can't imagine this song by anyone else, it was made for them, even if the writer didn't know it at the time.

Makes you want to get up and move, doesn't it? The original songwriter, Cosmo Sheldrake, put a comment on the PTX video thanking them for covering his song. I have to say, having listened to both, the PTX cover is definitely an upgrade for me.

Thanks for the artist spotlight. Maybe do them again in December!

Hi there, I’m late today, I love this one. Well love them all, I hope you carry on doing reactions to Penatonix after this great spotlight. Loving the syrups guys. Fantastic upload and reaction.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can't believe you haven't listened to the PTX version of "Imagine". Top 5 IMO. Really lets you know what they are all about. Please have it next. Also - Superfruit original music. Bad for us, Guy.EXE, Goodbye from Lonely.

♥ Great reaction!! Only 200 more PTX videos to go. ;-)

Rather Be is an older one where Kirstin takes the lead.

Nice hair-dos lads, is it another lockdown? The music was good fun too, super, smashing, great !!

Recommend their original, Happy Now.

Speaking of 'Disney-esque" voice . . . check out Matt's rather short but XLNT solo (@1:18) in their cover of 'When You Wish Upon a Star'. It really shows his diversity. It's an audio only cover: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etOlq9F_3t-8koE.html

The song was used in an Apple commercial for the iPhone a few years ago. It may not have made the trip across the Pond which would explain why you've never heard the song.

I hope you gents are aware how difficult it is to recommend PTX songs, because I don't think there's a lemon in the bunch, just one banger after another.

Was in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory!

BP2 has a fancy on shoes... hahaha

PTX…..Problem! You will really enjoy!

Love the 80s vibe in this one!

What’s the occasion with the hair-dos? Did I nod out and miss something? Y’all never looked so, well, nicely put “different.” So, I closed my eyes and thoroughly enjoyed the reactions. ‘Nuff said.

another great reaction. this song is kind of overlooked. The original video is really weird and I don't understand it. It's just has bugs crawling across a white surface. another song frequently overlooked but masterfully arranged is can't sleep love. it is truly a work of art. there is a behind-the-scenes video. they're behind the scenes are frequently overlooked because they don't do a lot of them. those that do the behind-the-scenes video tack them on afterwards. they're only about 3 minutes. Pentatonix does do behind the scenes videos for some of their songs. I don't think many people know about that. this is one video you want to watch the behind-the-scenes. have you thought to do a postmodern jukebox Spotlight of the month. The pairing I really want to see is postmodern jukebox with Angelina Jordan this is the link to can't sleep love kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqxzq8x8vdqvhH0.html

A “MoodVac” 😎

Cosmo Sheldrake. Watch his version.

Yes, I did think BP1 resembled Boris Becker dragged through a hedge backwards and BP2 resembles my aunty Edna who looks like she ran out rollers for the straggly bits. 😂😂😂. Apart from that, nice reaction. This cover a nice take on the original which is just as catchy. Cosmo Sheldrake uses unconventional sounds incorporated into his music which makes it quite qwerky and interesting. PTX, ITS A 9.5 from me.

Love the hair and glasses! They defiantly sucked something out of the room! 2 dogs and my enthusiasm. Meh, my ears just aren't made for this group. Thank God I know I have Hank Williams Jr. to look forward to. If only there were more metal heads in this funtastic community we have here! Oh well, I've always been the happy oddball rebel, besides my dearest B2 throws me a bone every now and then! THANK YOU, B2!

For something Musical-like with Pentatonix, please react to The Wizard if Ahhhs, by Todrick Hall. featuring Pentatonix: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9GGmK6Tl8_Lops.html

Like the review. But I just don't get the Bjork Borg meets Thora Hird look. Sort of reminds me of some kind of Michael Moorcock novel (the one in which the insane rulers of the dark empire of Granbretan are engaged in conquering the continent: I forget its name). Don't be offended - you are now connected with past stories of the future.

Please react "Sound Tracker Gamelan"original music Indonesia

Never heard this before, so haven't a wit of insight. Just know that everything they do is top shelf for me. They and Home Free are the only two a cappella groups I listen to. Noticed how luminous Kirstin looked. I believe she's pregnant. A bit of gossip for you.

next reaction ilsogno deadsquad

The original is nothing like this..that's maybe why you don't recognize it..
