I am a Christian and have been a follower of ptx for several years now. They are a gift from God.

THIS IS WHY PTX IS THE NUMBER ONE ACAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD🌎. 🎶🎙🎵

Avi the original Bass singer left the group in 2017 on good terms. That same year Matt Sallee joined them as the new Bass, he is incredible also.

They did an original song called Thank You on their Christmas album in 2020 during Covid. It is a very emotional song that was perfect for that year. I absolutely ugly cried when I first heard it. I did not lose anyone to Covid that year, I was still employed, (actually working like crazy running a grocery store), did not lose any employees to the disease so I was pretty unaffected by all of that compared to many people. So many people lost a lot that year so it was just emotional. After that video came out a someone made a fan video with that song playing in the background. It showed pictures of many people thanking Pentatonix for being a musical light during that terrible year. They are better than we deserve.

Hallelujah and Mary Did You Know should be on your short list for immediate reactions.

They are all such lovely kind, generous people as well as outstanding musical talents. In interviews they have all acknowledged in various ways that what they do is service.

To have your minds blown by Mitch (counter-tenor), Matt (Bass) & Kevin (Beatboxer, Tenor, and World Class Cellist) check out "Joyful Joyful" Live from the Evergreen Experience and pay close attention to the last note which Matt hits. Another must see is their version of John Lennon's "Imagine" where they show the traits they share (when they pass shared cards) and their differences (when they flip their cards), and then who they truly are.

The original singer & song writers were " Simon & Garfunkle " Disturbed covered their song like PTX is now. PTX won 3 Grammy awards

The chances of this group coming together was so infinitesimally small that only the powers that be in the universe could have made it happen. I’m glad they decided to do that to allow us mere mortals to have something to brighten our days. Three kids (Scott, Mitch, Kirstie) meet as children who love to sing and decide to keep singing together in school and local theater. As a side note, can you imagine trying to keep those three reigned in in high school choir? Scott, Mitch and Kirstie say that she did help them learn to blend better. They become life-long friends. Scott befriends Ben Bram who helps Scott get on The Sing Off. Ben introduces Scott to Avi. Scott talks Kevin into giving up med school at Yale and joining four strangers to compete on The Sing Off. They actually win the show. Sony drops them so they decide to start building their Pentaholic following on You Tube. Viral videos, and great music follows, and they get resigned to Sony. Avi decides to leave the group and they find another great bass in Matt. While Matt is not Avi, he is still excellent and I think he blends even better with the other members of PTX. If anything happens differently along that path Pentatonix does not exist, and the world is a lesser place.

One comparison I've heard and agree with is this: Simon and Garfunkel warned us about where the world was headed. Disturbed is angry that we didn't heed the warning. And Pentatonix says "It isn't too late yet; we can still turn it around." Is Pentatonix right? I don't know; I hope so. The one thing I'm certain of is that if we don't try, we lose. And if we can't turn it around? Well, then, at least I'll go down fighting to keep my planet habitable.

I love watching your PTX reactions...your faces are priceless. Even more so, I love that you give God the glory for it all. The Lord bless you and keep you...

Kevin is the beatboxer and sings tenor. He has been with Pentatonix since the beginning- 12 years! The newest member for this song is the other black guy - Matt. He's a bass singer.

What a gorgeous couple❤

It’s always a good day when you have a PTX Mitch Slap and Kirstie Kick!! The Wall of sound will always knock you out! Check out their live performances!! They are just as phenomenal live as they are in videos!

Matt's father is the minister of music at their church (with the white jacket).

Love y’all ❤❤ And Bless y’all ~Pentaholic from Louisiana

With Christmas right around the corner, you should know PTX is Christmas music with a mix of popular and carols. God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman is such a suprise.

I just found your website and was watching your review of this song, which is one of my favorite! Awesome reaction! I don’t know if you’ve listened to hallelujah yet, but it was one of their original songs I think it has like 762 million views or something like that! You two are such a cute couple and you have a awesome reactions to them singing! A really good song that Matt sings is Mr. Grinch! And something that’s a little different is their version of A Few of my Favorite Things! Both worth listening to! And just wanted to add it’s awesome that you’re a Christian Couple web channel! Praise be the Lord!

there are 4 original members that are always there... the girl Kirsty, the black guy beatboxer is Kevin, White blonde guy Scott, White guy with high voice Mitch, then there is the white guy with beard who does the deep sounds Avi. Avi was replaced with the second black guy who does deep sounds also Sam.

If you haven’t reacted to Amazing Grace, you need to listen. I’m pretty much to the point where I cry, every time. Need a good cry? Something to get you going? Pentatonix! I believe everything comes from God, especially this group! Love Love ♥️

Love your reactions. Keep them coming God bless

This is my first time watching this video as well. This old vet has grabbed a seat and ready to watch as well. Love you two and your reactions.

Absolutely love your reactions. Would love to see you react to their covers of IF I EVER FALL IN LOVE, originally sung ( i beleive ) in the 90s by a group called SHAI. And also one of their recent covers sung live in the vevo studio called KISS FROM A ROSE, of course originally sung by SEAL. God bless you both

Matt and Kevin (two black dudes) were in both the videos you reacted to. I’ve subscribed for more PTX

Hi guys you are going on a journey a wonderful Journey!!!❤ Pentatonix is a wonderful gift that God created in them if you have time listen to The(Prayer) and( cheerleader) there's are so many more. Have fun!!❤

There's a great live video of them performing this at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022! It's great! ❤

First off great reactions. , love them. Can't get enough of Pentatonix. I love seeing new people hear them? You really need to listen to Seasons of Love. Shallow, and say something. Please keep up the great work..

You should watch imagine from them

If you noticed when the base singer starts to sing Scott who is in the middle took over base

‘Mary Did You Know’ 🕊️

Just FYI Mitch is the shortest guy, at 5'10". Kirsten is shorter, she just wear high heels, boots and shoes. Mitch, Scott, and Kirsten are all from Arlington TX. All three in the same high school. Can you imagine how lucky the school music director had to feel?

Must see…From PTX…Bohemian Rhapsody……this was my first PTX video that I listened to…I ‘m hooked for life….Judy D

The black guy in the white jacket is Matt. He replaced Avi (who looks like Jesus LOL), who sing in Hallelujah & Bohemian Rhapsody to name a few. Kevin teh beat boxer also can sing like an angel, as shown on my favorite 'Mary did you know?'. And teh cool thing about this song is that this version is amazing, and so Is Disturbed version & we can't forget the original, by Simon & Garfunkel. All three are great & are like totally different songs, which I love.

HIGHLY recommend PTX Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)!!!!! I cry each and every time I hear it! Would love to see a Christian couples reaction to it

Absolutely love your reactions. Can't wait until December when do the Christmas songs. You will love these amazing songs!!!

White jacket is Matt Sallee took over bass in 2017 for the bearded singer Avi Kaplan, As a bonus you NEED to do Avi Kaplan "Change on the Rise" (all the bass in it is Avi) Oh ya, the "new" guy can SANG too LOL!!!! Pretty sure they had to beam him over from their home world LOL. Their original "Happy Now" is one of the most uplifting songs I know of, by mid point you will be smiling, it can't be helped.PS: Their Christmas music, all 6.5 hours of it, is MAGICAL. "Oh Come All Ye Faithful", you will never hear that song the same again.

The song was originally done by Simon and Garfunkel (written by Paul Simon, 1964) - this song is almost 60 years old - amazing!

Blessings

Loving your reactions!!! I just listened to Pentatonix sing When You Believe with Maren at a not so silent night… I love Prince of Egypt and that was SO good!!! You should check it out, not many reactors react to it… ✨🙏🏻✨

Thanks for fixing the sound issue this time!

If you don't already know, the original version of this song came out in the early 60s by Simon & Garfunkel. Simon was only 19ish when he wrote this masterpiece. Now listen to Disturbed's version, the official video. It is stunning and made me REALLY listen to the lyrics and what they were conveying. The video itself is telling a story. I've probably listened to their version through reactions hundreds of times. I'm so glad to see christian reactors. I am a deacon and love all types of music. I just don't appreciate musicians using foul language to express a thought. I find that both unappealing and shows a laziness to find other words to explain their thoughts. Keep up your journey and enjoy. God Bless.

Mitch and Scott, who recently married his longtime love, Mark, are both gay. I hope that doesn't lessen your respect for their talents, ALL the members of Pentatonix are good, loving people. Just FYI. Also, there is a YT video of PTX performing live in Florida with anti-gay protesters outside, screaming profanities at Mitch and Scott, including that they will go to hell. Mitch sang even louder and prouder during the performance. Poor Scott was so upset, his voice cracked They all are perfectionists, and to witness Scott lose his confidence and voice is heartbreaking. He eventually recovered his voice. Hate has NO place in this world, especially when it is directed at such humble, sweet human beings, I hope you will agree.

I love watching your reactions. They are so genuine. Would love to see you react to "Mary Did You Know", "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", and "Imagine".

You should really listen to their cover of Amazing Grace. With your faith and appreciation of PTX's talent, you will be very happy. Reverent is a perfect word for it.

You're right, there was one swap-out. Matt Sallee (in the white jacket) replaced Avi Kaplan as the low bass about 6 years ago.

So the bass they had before was Avi Kaplan and he left Pentatonix for a solo career in Folk music. And a little while after Avi left, Matt Sallee (The Black dude with the white jacket) joined them as the new bass.

Love your reactions. I can't wait for you to react to their Daft Punk medley. To touch up on something. Matt ( bass ) replaced Avi who was the first bass person singing bass in the group. Avi had to leave for personal reasons. If you are wondering how the bass is covered when the bass person is singing the main part, Scott covers the bass at that point.

(Paul) Simon and (Art) Garfunkel wrote this and performed it first. Look it up. You'll like it.

Maybe you can try reacting to their Official videos and then a Live performance . You would see how amazing they are. I won't mind watching a longer video.

You guys should seriously react to their cover of "Imagine" (Avi was bass in this one), and it's pure perfection! Being slapped by Mitch is wonderful, but being slapped by Kevin...KEVIN!!!, is magical and unexpected! Their 5 part harmony is untouchable

Only about 300 PTX songs to go...try Love Again...one of their many originals.

This is an incredible cover ❤

I hope you’ll do Hallelujah (their original music video) It’s the best version. I think you’ll be deeply moved.

I just subscribed for your PTX reactions. I love them. I believe that you would LOVE hearing their version of Imagine by John Lennon. They put their flavor on it as well. Avi (the old Bass) is in that video. Thank you!

Listen to Amazing Grace by them. It is outstanding.

Yawl, need to check out their (behind the scenes), the making of “Evergreen”, “Evergreen” is one of their Christmas Albums, it was nominated for a Grammy. It would’ve been their 4th had they won, and most believe they should’ve won it…they’ve added 8 new songs (24-31) to their newly released “Greatest Christmas Hits” album, all are worth listening to-plus they have a fun “Nightmare Before Christmas” cover that’s well worth a watch around Halloween time. Their is also their original song “Thank You” written by Scott, where he plays the piano (first time) and Kevin (KO) plays his cello w/Mitch, Kirstie and Matt all blending to making it super moving, it’s a Thanksgiving/but more Christmas kinda feel to it-well worth a listen too! So many great tunes and so little time! On their “Christmas around the world” album, yawl should definitely listen to “tracks” (4 African beat & Chior, 5 folk/Country feel,, 10 new age sung buy Mitch and 12 the harmonies will make your soul ascend, w/tears & goose bumps! ), those are a few of my most favorites, and there are “music videos” to watch for tracks (1, 6 and 11). You should check out their live Cracker-barrel performance of “Evergreen” from their (Evergreen) album…it’s a song written for their mothers. It’s such a beautiful tribute! Yawl should also check out/watch their live performance of “Joyful, Joyful” from their evergreen concert, it’s amazing! There are so many to list, but these are some definite songs to add to your list to listen to:-)

I'd be curious to see your reaction to their cover of Imagine. The office music video.

Kirstie matt, and kevin would definitely agree with you, about being a gift from god.

Please react to Hallelujah by them. It's my personal favorite by Pentatonix.

many thanks to Simon & Garfunkel for writing & recording this classic warning to an increasingly isolated, non-responsive society....remember, that was 50 + years ago ! ....they made it possible for Disturbed, Pentatonix and others to reinterpret this for an even "colder" society.......

The original of this song is Simon and Garfunkel

You should do Halleluja! I wonder you didn’t do it yet. 😉

Yall need to react to Disturbed " the sound of silence

Good Reaction. I believe you have reacted to 3 Pentatonix songs so far. The gentleman on the left is Matt. He is the new bass singer when Avi left about 6 yrs ago. If you react to Hallelujah and Mary Did You Know you will hear Avi. Another great video is Daft Punk. Matt is wonderful, but Avi has my heart with his smooth bass.

Thanks for your reaction. Get ready for anti-Matt comments. Check out his interview with the Bass Peter to hear what he's gone through in 6 years with Pentatonix (highs and lows). Pls. react to PTX live performance in 2022 (Evergreen) and 2023 various, Where are You Christmas?, Mr. Grinch, Come Along, Waving through a Window and more to hear his fabulous bass and tenor range. He has a unique ability to run beautiful bass and supporting scales in background vocals. There are some wonderful mashups and evolutions such as Evolution of Ariana, Evolution of Rhianna and New Rules X Are you that Somebody. On the Lucky Ones CD, Never Gonna Cry Again really showcases Matt. Some may or may not be your taste. All PTX members are great, but these songs will have you shaking your head about the negative comments. Welcome aboard.

Matt replaced Avi as bass in 2017, due to personal reasons, and Avi helped choose Matt to be his replacement. They are both amazing singers, so no matter what they sing, will always be better and better than the originals. it's an upgrade, not a cover!! I adore Matt, and both he and Kevin (Beatboxer) are both Christians in their faith, and considering how different they all are, they have stayed together for 12 years. Their Xmas album is now out, and I can't wait to see you do more Xmas videos in the coming weeks!!!

Ok, I hope that you're both doing well. I'm somewhat shocked that you have not yet reacted to PTX's "Hallelujah". The original cover had Avi in it, but I prefer the live version, with his replacement Matt. I'm sure that you will not be disappointed with either. God bless you both, now and always.

the man in the white is matt he came in when Avi left

Can you please react to Seasons of Love? I know you will love it, and will be amazed by Kirstie's runs riffs, and whistle notes.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

❤❤❤❤❤

For the next PTX reaction I suggest " Can You Feel The Love Tonight ". The song from The Lion King. They do an amazing performance. Thanks.

Pentatonix eats Simon and Garfunkels version and defecates Disturbed version. Epic

You guys are great ! You must hear PTX do Amazing Grace it's great !!

Try PTX’s cover of Imagine. It has the original bass, Avi.

S and G = A warning to Humanity Disturbed = You didn't listen see what happened PTX = There is still hope.

Please react to the PTX version of O Come All Ye Faithful ❤ I want to see y'all dance 😊

You can see the PTX support for the LGBTQ+ community (as well as for tolerance generally) in their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine." In my view, one reactor said it best: "Mitch has an angel in his throat."

Hi guys! Loved your reactions. ❤ Can you listen/react DAN VASC. He is a brazilian metal singer. He sing power metal, synfonic metal, opera, pop and rock. Dan is amazing. Listen AMAZING GRACE. ❤ Rio-Brazil

You guys should do there Version of Mary, did you know

A very sweet christain couple reacts to a music group and loves their voices and music so far. Then what happens, people need to throw the groups sexuality in to it! What does that have to do with their voices? It's ike you want to ether create issues or get them to bow to their beliefs. Then cry about division. It is sad!! Don't want division? Stop trying to make it! This is about music! Not who they are sleeping with or married too! Just my opinion.

I love you guys, I love your channel, and I LOVE your faith and conviction…as much as I hear you reference to our Lord knowing that some prayers need NOT be answered, you might wish to check out a Garth Brooks song from the ‘80’s called “Unanswered Prayers”…I would surely love to donate to you guys, your page, and your ministry, but as a disabled vet, my accounts are controlled by someone else

I'm surprised that YOU were surprised by "two black guys." I checked your site, and you have listened to 5 PTX songs (including this one). Four of the Five have both Kevin (percussion and occasional cello) and Matt (bass singer since 2017). Only ONE of the songs you listened to has the original bass singer (Avi Kaplan). Having said that, It's even MORE interesting that it seems important. Be well!

❤❤❤

You guys should react to Anthony evans mercy tree when u get a chance

Matt slap, lol

I think y'all would love Dan vasc amazing grace

It would be really good if you would rect to their live performance of aha or draft punk. Y'all we I'll not be disappointed

I have a feeling that some of the comments here may be intended to bait you. Sad. Recommend their track of O Holy Night from their new Christmas album.

4:25

Ok, fellow Christians, you are now Pentaholics! Welcome. While this may not be WHY this song was written, I find some Christian parallels. During Mitchs part, he says he was blinded. Wasn't Peter blinded for 3 days on the road to Damascus? During Kirsties part, she is pleading to be heard. Isn't that the story of the apostles? Incidentally, Kirstie, Matt, and Kevin are devout Christians.

I've got some good stuff for you to react to. I'm gonna give you 50 cents a song. I was gonna donate 10 cents per song but I love ya'll so I decided to be generous. 😄😄👊🏾

#ThoughtsAndPrayers have saved us all. Do y’all know Scott and Mitch are gay? Do you keep kosher, which is also required in the Bible?

This cover by Disturbed is the best I have ever heard. Better than the original and while I love Pentatonix it is better than this version also. jmo

I am a Satanist and I like watching your videos. If you believe in God then you believe in Samiel (the light bringer).

Your commentary is very low volume and the music is very hih volume.

You talked for 5' straight.

HOGARMY DISTURBED IS BETTER IMHO

If you like Matt you are going to loose your mind over Avi. Matt is 1% while Avis 100%.

God isnt pregigist.if so he would have made us One color 😊. He blesses us with gifts each what we need to share with others.❤
