They waited 5 years to do this just they could get it right. Another thing about them is they never do anything that can't be replicated live.

If you go down the PTX rabbit hole and you feel the urge to ask "Is that Mitch?" the answer is always "Yes".

Get ready my friend just a warning you are gonna get a lot of Pentaholics coming and explaining everything you need to know about Pentatonix and a lot of request. So hold on to your seat.

Kevin is beatbox, Avi is bass, wind blowing, Mitch is tenor, Scott is baritone and Kirsten is soprano, and they all have such extreme vocal ranges!

first of all - ptx 101 - members - blonde guy is Scott Hoying, lead in this song (most of it anyway) Mitch Grassi, beatboxer is Kevin Olusola, bass guy with the beard Avi Kaplan (he left the group and now has solo career (check out his Change on the rise), he was replaced by Matt Sallee in newer videos), and finally lady of the group Kirstin Maldonado second - ptx required listening - Hallelujah , Imagine, Sound of silence , Daft Punk, Happy now, and then their journey through Sing Off... after that every other their song , be it cover or original

They have some originals. "Love Again" is an older one, but nicely shows off the initial bass (Avi)

The first time I heard them do this cover was at a live show. It was the finale and I was super skeptical and salty that they would even attempt it. However, immediately I had major goosebumps and by the end I was almost crying. It was perfect. If anyone questions if they can really pull this off live, I will tell you, they absolutely can. True talent all the way.

my favorite reactions to watch are Daft punk, hallelujah, sound of silence and this one Bohemian Rhapsody

I'm one of the threatened Pentaholics who just subscribed because of this reaction! Don't worry, we're a friendly encouraging lot. Others are giving you good information and suggestions, so I won't duplicate those. Just a supportive word: as others have said, only the bass singer has ever changed in the group; as you see different videos you will want to tell us that the woman or the "Freddie Mercury" guy have been replaced, but they haven't -- they just like to change their looks often and decisively.

Hallelujah image, Daft Punk, won a Grammy, dance of the sugar plum fairy, won a Grammy, sound of Silence. Prior to 2017 avi Kaplan does bass (beard and mustache) then it's Matt. They just released Happy Now which Matt wrote.

I subscribed because I know you are going to want to do more! Check out their Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Can You Feel The Love Tonight or a myriad of other great ones they do. Take your pick, they won’t disappoint ❣️🇺🇸

Welcome to the Pentaholics! React to any of their songs and we will be there! (Their original songs are great! )

They have developed the ability to extract the essence from songs!

Oh my dear, you are standing at the edge of the Pentatonix rabbit-hole and you are about to fall in head-first! Don't worry - it's a wonderful journey, and you will have an army of lovely Pentaholics to guide you. 😊 I'm sure you've already had a metric tonne of suggestions for future Pentatonix videos... among the rite-of-passage ones will be their Daft Punk medley (if you thought the percussion sounds on this one were good, that one will blow your mind!) Hallelujah, The Sound of Silence, Mary Did You Know and Imagine. Then there's the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Can't Hold Us, Say Something... of their original songs you have Love Again, Natural Disaster, On My Way Home, Standing By... put it this way, you won't run out of material for a very long time!

I don't know if those who suggested Pentatonix to you mentioned anything about the Pentatonix fans(known as Pentaholics), but be assured what Sean says is an absolute fact. Pentatonix is an Elite group in talent, genius in arrangements, their music acumen is brilliant, and most of all, they are extremely loyal. Welcome to the PTX world Tyler!

I've seen this performed live...twice...and it's still just as amazing. It's hard to beat Pentatonix's hard work and God-given talent. Also, I am also 31, and that Harry Potter pillow just solidified my subscription.

ALLLL the Pentatonix. Since you appreciate using voices creatively, I DEFINITELY recommend: "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," and "Carol of the Bells." I know they're both Christmas, but they replicate a fully instrumental in Sugar Plum, and they mimic strings, like a string trio, in Carol of the Bells. I also recommend the Daft Punk Medley as another really creative use of vocals. They sound like a legit electro recording. I also second anyone who recommends the Sing-Off Performances. It's amazing watching them as a new group sing, week-to-week, all these new arrangements, totally live, and to see them build their chops. Not that they weren't amazing from the beginning. You can see Kevin (beatboxer) playing cello in "Radioactive," and a personal fav of mine is "Gold," the Kiiara cover where you get to see Mitch sing something that had to be electrically created in her original.

Best A Capella Group Ever in My Opinion. I've been a Pentaholic for 7 yrs. & after seeing them Live I can tell You Every Sound is 100% Authentic. No Props or Synthesizers. Please React to ""Sound of Silence."

The percussion was Kevin. He is a beast. Mitch is the lead, Scott is the blonde guy, Kirstin is the girl and Avi is the bearded guy (bass).

Oh god its so good to see another Brit reacting to PTX, and if you're still close to "home" then you're just down the road! lol. There are surprisingly few of us Pentaholics here in the UK compared to other parts of the world and I never really understood why. As other commenters have said you're likely to get inundated with requests and suggestions. There's very little a pentaholic likes more than watching someone else discover this amazing group of people, and every pentaholic has their own discovery playlist that they feel best introduces someone to the group. There's a huge back catalogue to pick from, so have a trawl through their channel and see what catches your fancy. Saying that... my suggestions would be "Love Again" which is an early original track from them, "Come Along" which is nuts in the most brilliant of ways, Evolution of Music, which is just too damn clever for its own good, and "Daft Punk" because its an excellent showcase and iconic. Lastly, no doubt the rest of the crowd will fill you in on the back story if you ask, or just google it. But a few things worth knowing going into your next video are: - Despite appearances, there has only ever been one change to the PTX line-up. Anything you watch dated after 2017 will have a different bass singer. They were all incredibly young when they started out (three of them only 19), so understandably over the last nine years they've changed a lot, most especially Mitch (the dark haired male), so if you find yourself wondering if there's someone different in a video, unless its the bass, then no really, its the same people. - They Really are this good live. I saw them in Manchester a couple of years ago and trust me, they did not disappoint (unlike so many "artists" in the charts - Why Rizzle Kicks? Why were you so bad?) - While the bulk of their back catalogue is covers, they also do original music, which for some reason is frequently over looked by reactors. You will make a lot of people happy if you react to an original song. So thanks for this brilliant reaction. Hope to see more from you soon. Hitting subscribe.... NOW.

New sub! Welcome to a FUN ride down the Pentatonix rabbit hole! You won’t get lost, we’ll guide you. Since you were impressed w/a video with 100M views, PTX’s Daft Punk Medley has 330M & Hallelujah has 550M so you’ve got LOTS to look forward to! Each member has ridiculously wide vocal range which allows for amazing arrangements! This group also has deep respect for each other as evidenced by how easily they share the spotlight among themselves! Enjoy & cant wait for the next one!

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs t listen to are great. They have 3 Grammies, one for their "Daft Punk Medley", one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies", and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "The Sound of Silence" (Simon & Garfunkel), "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Will the Circle be Unbroken" (Johnny Cash) and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).

Their version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" shows of a good amount of their individual skills

The guy in the front is Kevin Olusola. The bass in this, Avi Kaplan, left in 2017. They have another great bass, Matt Sallee. To hear RECENT original music from Pentatonix, watch/react to “Happy Now”...PTX is the most successful acapella group in history. Three Grammys, millions of albums sold, 4.5 BILLION views on KZfaq...they’ve reinvented acapella!

Obviously in a complex video like this, they record the audio in a studio and then edit it together with the visual, but it is all acapella. Pentatonix (PTX) has posted a video PENTATONIX BOHEMIAN RAPSODY BEHIND THE SCENES that shows how they put this together. It focuses more on the visuals rather than the audio.

Hallelujah video amazing

Hi there! Loved your reaction! This is the one PTX song my husband, who is a drummer, listens to over and over. He simply cannot get over Kevin's (beat boxer) "cymbals" in this song because he sounds exactly like 1970s cymbals.

I guess Daft Punk by Pentatonix is next.

the megaphone is just a prop. he can do the guitar sound without it.

Please watch their cover of Sound of Silence! Pentaholic subscribing here! Keep them coming!!

The best thing about pentaholics (the name of the fans bc they are addicting) is they are kind and loyal. Hallelujah is probably the next one. It has well over a half a billion views. Just try not to let us overwhelm you. They have over 200 videos and have been together almost 9 years. Perfect reaction. Already subscribed

They also used the starry sky visual in honor of Brian May (Queen's lead guitarist) as he is an astrophysicist.

You have, both fortunately and not, opened yourself up to a whole new world of music. You'll get requests for more PTX ( Pentatonix ) of course. But, you'll also discover Super Fruit, Kevin "KO" Olusola, Brian Justin Crum, and Home Free...to name only a few. We Pentaholics, and the Home Fries ( Home Frees fans ), are some of the more vocal, but not all of those who will come to your channel now that you've started reacting to this group. You'll find, however, that we tend to be loyal, helpful, honest, supportive, and one of the more encouraging groups of fans on the internet. That's one of the major reasons, I would guess, that channels who do these reactions well tend to "take off" pretty quickly. Give us what we want, and we'll support you through most anything. All I can add to all of that is " welcome to the Pentatonic family. " There is a reason it's called that. Which I'm sure you'll soon see.

Kevin is beatbox, Mitch is tenor(guitar solos), Avi is bass (wind blows).

So good to see another reactor appreciate Pentatonix! As others have said (though it bears repeating) Mitch and Kirsten change their looks and styles dramatically and frequently, but the only change is when Avi left and Matt became the new bass. You will get many requests. I favor “Imagine”, “Gold” “Say Something “, and their newest original, “Happy Now “. But really, you can’t go wrong with anything you choose. Just, for our sake, choose PTX!

Pentatonix started on a singing competition called "The Sing Off", season 3. (spoiler...they win). Its an awesome show, especially their performances. We Pentaholics really enjoy rewatching The Sing Off with new Pentaholics. I shall subscribe when you start watching their Sing Off performances. Welcome to Pentaholic family.

Thank you for your reaction! Hope you will do more Pentatonix!

For reaction videos, I highly recommend headphones or earbuds. Major difference.

I have known pentatonix for a while, I liked most of their stuff, but this was extra special.

Hello Tyler I hope you are having a great weekend....Hey PTX fam

This song is just as good when they do it in concert as it is on this video.

Welcome to the rabbit hole known as PTX. The wall of sound they create is immense..the harmonies are so intricate. No one can do what they do, and I've heard the others. Daft Punk Medley, it gave them their first grammy and was done in a closet...check it out. Hundreds of others...enjoyed the reaction. Happy Now is brand new and one of the best feel good songs in a while!!

Now that you've seen their "Bohemian Rhapsody", check out their other two best (IMO) performances: "Halleluia" and "Mary Did You Know?" Their rendition of "Say Something" is also amazingly good, too. Although *lots* of their stuff is *so* good!

Loved your reaction because 1. Pentatonix ok?! 2. Lovely reaction. I love watching people's faces when they react to Pentatonix.

Love your reaction. Us Pentaholics love seeing someone discover PTX. It lets us relive when we were first discovering them. Looking forward to more from you. We can give you tons of recommendations if you want them, but really you cannot make a mistake with anything you pick. Covers, original songs, their side projects, etc. are all amazing. I would make one suggestion. Listen with a good set of headphones. You will be amazed at the difference and how much more you will be able to hear and detect the highs and lows, etc. It really does make a difference.

Nice reaction, may I suggest Hallelujah and Mary Did You Know.

I love 1st time reactors to Pentatonix! Awesome reaction! You have 9yrs of material to go thru and us loyal Pentaholics will be happy to ride down the rabbit hole with you! Subscribed for more PTX!

So many spectacular PTX songs. Please do more! You won’t believe Hallelujah ( which I’m really sick of hearing from everybody else in the world, but not these guys) and Imagine and The Sound of Silence. Thanks to you!

Yay, a new reactor! I'm so excited for you to see what they have in store. Welcome to the Pentaholic family!

Eyebrows lift, eyebrows fall, eyes widen, puzzled look, They-Are-The-Instruments jaw drop of amazement/appreciation, head continuously shakes back in forth in disbelief/wonder.Think that’s your First Reaction? Nope, it’ll be the same for the second, third, fourth....and on and on...reactions. Just wait...you haven’t cried yet. That’s next if you view Hallelujah. PTX turns a secular song into an extended goin’ to Church moment. Welcome to the world of Pentaholics! BTW - the megaphone Mitch is using? Just a prop! ☺️👍

One of the most orchestral rock operas of all time . pretty amazing stab at it by a vocal group.

What a refreshing reaction! Thank you! ..am liking and Subscribing... hoping to hear many more Pentatonix. They have a VERY large selection to choose from and all are excellent! Love to hear you react to HALLELUJAH (Leonard Cohen cover).. You will love the ride..

I see that you have been informed about the members and inundated with requests/recommendations, so I will only say...Welcome to the Pentaholic family! Subbed in the hopes of many more PTX reactions - you can't go wrong with anything they do.

Love your accent. Hope to see many more PTX reactions

Just another Pentaholic welcoming you to the "family" :o) I am sure you will enjoy everything you listen to.

Their cover of "Imagine" is one more you could react to

ptx Bohemian Rhapsody ? Kevin hold my beer ! killed it !

Another Pentaholic here, I saw pentatonix, I subscribed immediately lol. Great reaction, looking forward for more pentatonix! 👏🏼

I think soon you will be having a huge jump in your subscribership LOL a few little tidbits to add to what everyone else is saying. PTX formed to be on the US based competition show "The Sing Off" in 2011. After winning the show, over the years they have won 3 grammies (mostly for best arrangement). One for "Daft Punk", one for "Dance of the Sugar Plumb Fairy" and one for "Jolene" (collaboration with Dolly Parton). PTX does quite a bit of covers and a LOT of christmas songs. They recently released a new EP with some original songs on it. The last time they released an album with original songs on it was about 5 years ago ("Love Again" and "Run To You" are both originals and really are fantastic works of art to listen to). Anyway, welcome to the family :)

by far this is the best cover of this song......by far.

More Pentatonix please please

You are now a pentaholic! Welcome to the family! You will never be the same once you start listening to their music. Your heart will be full of joy each time you hear them sing. I have been a pentaholic since they got together & won the Sing-Off, and I still hlget those chills & a joyfulness each time I hear their music!!!

The megaphone is a prop. Mitch is doing it with his voice only. No auto tune either! If you sing, experiment & try the differant sounds. I can do the same sound Mitch made. Just practice, practice, practice. Thanks for your reactions.

"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Marc Martel. Absolutely mind blowing!!!!

Now you've done my favorite rock group (The Warning) and my favorite vocal group (Pentatonix) all you need now is my favorite ensemble (Post Modern Jukebox) and you will have pulled off the hat trick.

How can their voices stay so strong when they're as scrunched up like they were at the end?

Welp heres the pentaholics pouring in

Great reaction, got a new sub! Welcome to the rabbit hole that is PTX! Stay with them and you will be in for a wonderful and amazing ride. You will also find your video views and subscribers growing very quickly as PTX fans love watching reactions to this amazing group. I won’t make specific suggestions, IMO EVERY song they do is masterful. Look into their channel and pick anything and you will not be disappointed. Three notes, first, wear headphones! Unless you have a studio quality sound system, you will miss a lot of amazing nuance. Second, if you want to experience this group from their inception and learn about them and see how amazingly they’ve grown, all their performances on the Sing Off are on KZfaq, in fact as well as each performance having its own video, there is a video with all their performances in one. Lastly, your pausing the video occasionally to comment is a smart move. PTX videos are notoriously pulled down for Copyright hits; pausing mostly avoids that.

I'll recommend another classic - and sadly as relevant now as it ever was - Pentatonix - Imagine

Please react to their original Happy Now Sound of silence Havana Gold Sing

Kirstie, Scott and Mitch have been singing together since choir in high school.

I'm a new subscriber and I love YOUR speaking voice. If you start doing Pentatonix the "Pentaholics" will all subscribe.

NIce job! Now please react to some more recent work by this phenomenal group: "Happy Now," their latest original song, and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," from the Lion King. Most people new to the group like to review their epic version of "Hallelujah," which has received more than half a BILLION YT views, and their Grammy winning medley of "Daft Punk." Everything they do is first class, so enjoy the ride. It's all, quite literally, good!

The megaphone is just a prop; it isn't turned on. Mitch is doing that amazing guitar solo with just his voice.

Welcome to PTX! Please take a look at “Hallelujah” or “Imagine” next. Subbed!

We need more PTX

Another acapella group along similar lines that I highly recommend is Voiceplay. Their Oogie Boogie song in particular is ridiculous! (Their bass singer takes the lead in it)

Pentatonix are great, but along with them you will also get requests for Home Free and Voiceplay :) All are wonderful! Thanks for the reaction!

If you want see them being awesome on stage for a crowd watch A-Ha Singapore Star Vista Live . It is pretty Mitch-centric but Avi has a huge part and don't worry if you don't see Kevin (the beatboxer) he is there after the opening, he was just putting away his cello (in their concerts there is a portion where Kevin comes out and cello-boxes Julie O which is the song he was playing in the video found by the group) and they are covering for that with a moment that doesn't need beatboxing. Also they did a lot of songs in a single take in various places all of which are excellent! My fave of those is You Da One a Rihanna cover. Daft Punk medley wine them their first Grammy also Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies won as well, both amazing. Love Again is my favorite PTX original.

You are on the bus hon🌟😘sound of silence,will blow you away😊welcome aboard ❤️

check out the children's a cappella group started by Scott Hoying of Pentatonix. They also did this cover. Acapop! kids is the name of the group. ages 9-15

They have years of experience working together.

Hold onto your pants and get ready for the ride of your life with these kids. I'd strongly suggest their cover of Hallelujah..., released just shy of four years ago and it only has 50+ million views over Half a BILLION. Theirs is a very heart filling version.

pentaholic here. I think everyone else explained everything, but we love seeing people finding them for the first time. Am going to subscribe to watch for more reactions...I am so glad you found them.

Subscribed! I’ve seen this video several times, and I just realized that the ‘flashlight’ homage was done in one take. I’m sure they practiced many times and and many ‘bloopers’ while filming, but it’s not an edited together section - even with all the movement with the flashlights. It’s cool that they put in the effort to do that in one take for the video.

My favourite is the ' the prayer" I also like ' hallelujah '.

This is THE best cover of one the best songs ever!! Love Pentatonix!!!! Hallelujah and Mad World are also second to none, hope you check them out ..... by the way .... is that Lucille in the background? (Negan’s bat 👍🏻)

Do a doubleof Pentatonix Sound of Silence and Disturbed Sound of Silence. Both are amazing...

To me they are the best acapella group out there!

The Sound of Silence by Pentatonix.

I always think this is so apropos, because they are an a capella group the way Queen is a rock band. Like yeah, technically, but it tells you so little of who they actually are.

Pentaholic number 63817 here. Lol! Subbed! So stoked to see a new PTX reactor. :)

Hallelujah,Mary Did You Know,Sounds

That's Mitch, tenor... Kenin is beatbox... Avi (dark beard) is bass... Scott (tall blond) is baritone... and Kirsten is soprano.

New subscriber! You will LOVE their brilliant cover of The Sound of Silence as well, please react to that too. Since you mentioned that you enjoy a cappella please also check out some HOME FREE (they won the Sing Off the year after Pentatonix) and are an extremely talented a cappella vocal band (again, you will forget that there are no instruments other than their voices); lastly you must also react to some VOCTAVE, these three groups are the trifecta of a cappella music. Your subscriber base will increase significantly reacting to these groups. Can't wait to enjoy the ride as you discover them!

Great video!! If you like acapella music then you might want to check out Home Free specifically Man of Constant Sorrow or Ring of Fire featuring Avi Kaplan from Pentatonix.

Brilliant! I love the way you present your reaction. If you want something else along the "classic" route - but more literally classical - check out PTX's version of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies". It's truly amazing.

Please react to their Daft Punk Medley. It won them their 1st Grammy.

Yay!! Pentaholics are here!!! New subscriber here!!

Awesome reaction! I love anything PTX. Please react to Sound of Silence, Imagine and any of their evolution videos! PTX fans are very loyal and you will probably get many followers. Oh and the Daft Punk medley was made on small budget in someone’s apartment and they won a Grammy for it - it’s a must!
