Mitch was a caterpillar in a cocoon, breaking out to become a butterfly.

Mitch is under the sheet as he is transforming, like a butterfly. When we first met Mitch he was a shy lad and didn’t know how he fit into this world. He was not a happy lad because he was gay and did t know what that meant for him. As he grew and learned who he was! And like the caterpillar and the butterfly, he evolved and now he knows who he is and how happy he is, and wants to share it with the world. He has emerged into butterfly.

If this is any indication of what their next original album is gonna be like.. Its gonna be straight up fire!!!!

Thought you'd know by now not to question Mitch's fashion! XD

Did someone say Pentaholics? Here! 🙋‍♀️🤣 Great reaction! This is Matt's first original and it's been YEARS since PTX has released original music. We Pentaholics are "Happy Now"! I think their best wall of sound moment is from Imagine.

I think another Grammy would be well deserved for this song!! I love watching you react to them!! You should do one of their “Evolution of..” videos!!

This is off of their original album which was finished right before quarentine. This video was done in sept of 2019. They have held off releasing anything until now. I would guess the label is trying to find the best way to market it in these unprecedented time.

Grammy worthy hell yes. It's my new fav song for sure. Mitch is in a league of his own and owns it. Scott was incredible. Thanks for reacting.

You should listen to "Your a mean one, Mr. Grinch"

I believe that the theme of the song and video is "moving on" after a break-up. Each person is portraying that feeling in some way. Mitch under the sheet... not entirely sure... but at the end they throw off the heartbreak funk and find color in their worlds again. Of course some are more colorful than others. Great original!

First. Here comes the Pentaholics!

Jase, I like how you appreciate them even though they aren't metal. If you ever want to hear Scott sing about "heavy metal thunder", check out their performance of Born to Be Wild. It was on the Sing Off so they were barely adults. Kevin does an excellent job.

FRICKIN >>>>all vocals...wall of sound, cross harmonies, No ONE ...I repeat NO ONE can do what they do...others may try to imitate but NO ONE can create the sound they do. LOVE this song..it just makes me want to stand up and dance...what the heck why not...Repeat..replay and here I go!! Peace out and love all!

I'm so glad you liked it! 😀 Finally a new Original after 5 years! filmed back in September before the virus but the lyrics are actually befitting. They've worn makeup for videos they've done in Japan a couple of times now but here in the US they only really did the makeup thing for Daft Punk and Love Again. they were going for that electronic sound and EDM (they had the steampunk thing going in "Love Again") in those videos, so the makeup didn't look like "a man wearing makeup". It was more of a costume than a fashion choice. I honestly don't care! I loved seeing Mitch throw his arms out in his head back and just sing with joy! And I like Scott's attitude! It was really funny when you said Matt and Kevin were too chill for the makeup thing! It brings back a memory of Scott, Mitch and Kirstie doing a comedic photo shoot type of routine in the pouring rain with bright, colorfully decorated umbrellas. The three of them were posing and carrying on for the camera and then the camera pans right and you see Matt and Kevin. They're wearing plain raincoats looking stoically at the camera.. then they began shaking their heads slowly back and forth like "Nope." 😒😒 😂 It was funny! I have to mention how much I like how they came in with the color when Matt hit that bass note that kind of dropped. It's his first Original number with Pentatonix and I think it's cool that when he was on screen with that note the first color popped!

Mitch is giving off quite the Beetlejuice vibe in the 2nd half. That said I love that you are smiling ear to ear through most of this while they are singing “happy now”. I can’t get over Scott’s “Dance” near the beginning when he goes up the octave. Need to watch their version of Waving Through a Window. Also...when Christmas is coming you gotta have PTX December and go through all their Christmas tunes!

I legit cannot pick a favorite group member. I bounce between all of them, all for different reasons, all because they are masters of their craft. Lol and Mitch is being Mitch, doing his own thing.

All of them are in their sad states in the black and white portion if the video. The director said the veil was to symbolize feeling trapped and when the color his his veil is removed to show being free. He showed a screenshot discussing ideas with Scott and Mitch and said he’s imagining him rising from a shell like shape behind him for the colorful part. Like the birth of Venus.

I am so glad you did this video! Thanks for the amazing content!

PTX recorded this on tour 9-19 before Covid-19. You can tell because Mitch still has the mullet...

Just back from vacay, and I walk into a new PTX reaction!!! YES!!! God, I love their originals. Like you said, a WALL of sound. So good and another great reaction!!

Mitch in his low register and its Everything!!!

Mitch was just being Mitch....an amazing person. I am happy now (see what I did there) that you reacted to this. You should also listen to there home album that was recently released as well. You should also watch them on "the sing off" which is where they were first discovered. And if you want a metal like song from them listen to "born to be wild" which they did on the sing off. Sing!, cracked and natural disaster are also a bit more metal like. Lastly you should watch "can't sleep love, waving through a window, problem, can't hold us, misbehavin', see through, lean on, cheerleader, and can you feel the love tonight. Please do these songs.

Another one you might enjoy is when they counted to 5 on Sesame Street

I just have to say that I love your reactions. And this song/video has quickly become one of my favorites. Another favorite is Can't Hold Us (Macklemore & Ryan Lewis cover). PTX looks like they are having so much fun in that video and they do an awesome cover of it, as usual. Check it out because im sure you will love it.

To me the sheet represents the bad things that hold us down from being happy and the struggle to rid ourselves from them and finally you're able to throw it off and you are able to be happy.

Kevin simply slayed this! Complex beat-boxing AND clapping? My God!

Yessssss, I been listening to this song on repeat ever since this came out. So i'm so happy that u did this.

I hope this song gets some serious circulation. Better than most pop stuff out there. Upbeat, happy, great message that we all need right now

Yeah, for some reason Sony got really crazy with blocking PTX reactions recently. The transparent screen doesn't bother me and it's a good idea, especially if it helps you put the reaction through. This is the first single for their new original album that should come out this year (hopefully not that they released a single it's really on it's way). It's also Matt's first original song with Pentatonix. A beginning of a new era and I'm so here for it. Also, Mitch and the sheet... Nobody questions him anymore :D. But actually, this music video was directed by the same guy who did the Imaginary Parties video for Superfruit and there's a similar visual with the sheet there, so I wonder if it was Mitch's idea or if the director suggested it. Even if that's the case though, I'm sure Mitch didn't even hesitate :D.

This song has become my theme song. After I lost the love of my life , he was my husband of 44 years. I could not seem to go on. Found this, my answer came! MITCH coming out of the cocoon was how I felt. Bless Pentatonix.

This is my fav song so far this year!!

I am always here for PTX! I love everything they do. I wasn’t a huge fan of the transparency on the video though. But if it helps keep you from getting blocked then it’s worth it.

That's... Mitch Undercover. :P

I'm a new subscriber. I watched your reaction videos to Hamilton and then saw this one. I love the premise of your channel. I think it's incredibly cool that you're open to listening to all kinds of music and widening your experiences. So very cool! 👏 And it's tons of fun to watch! 😊

Are you happy now? I am ! This is a great song and video and I loved your reaction!

I commented on another recent video, but I've been watching your vids since you reacted to pentatonix for the first time and I just realized that you play disc golf. I also play, what a small world!

Ooh cant believe you actually reacted to their new video. I suggest you react to their cover of Cologne

Thank you for your PTX reactions. They make my day. :) I figured each person was in gray tones, while they are asking, "is it okay to move on, finally?" Every one has seen heartbreak and going forward from there, and when is it okay to go on? A very pop vibe, and then they all break out in colors and happiness. Lively and simply fun. I agree with the cocoon/butterfly analogy. He's been through a lot from being bullied for his voice and being gay, to moving on and being a survivor. Each person in PTX has a story.

I love how much you smiled throughout, you are 'Happy Now' ☺️

Oh so good!! PTX kills it AGAIN!! 💗

This song is more about the loss of someone and overcoming the sadness, they were all depicting sadness at the beginning, the rain, the sheet. Then you are ready to move on....sometimes it feels wrong to be happy after a loss. I love this song asking if it is ok to be happy now? This song came out just after I lost my dog and yes it hit home. Any loss is personal and takes time, but its ok to be happy now!

Dude, you reacted before I even got a chance to watch, nice

It just makes me so happy when I hear it.

Yeah!!! What else did you expect? I told you, they are Angels from Heavens First Choir.

I wish mitch could have heard you say that. He would be thrilled!!

The overall vibe is answering the question after a breakup... can i be happy with myself? Yes, lots of personal growth needed to get to where you *are* happy now.

You're becoming a Pentaholic!!! :D :D :D

Hey, Jase. I think I have figured out what Mitch was doing in this video. He's practicing for a gig on "The Masked Singer!"

Thanks, Jase. Always love your PTX reaction vids. Although, I gotta say I'm really enjoying the Hamilton musical reactions too

Loved the reaction. Thanks!

I think Jase would love Problem by PTX as well. Plenty of stank face, head bopping, and WTF due to Avi...

what a great song, beautifully done.. I really hope, Mitchy is happy now with the confidence to show who he is, he deserves all the best in the world..😍

ABSOLUTE FIRE!!!

I was told that this is Matt's first original. Great job.

It's bloody great full of sound im really happy love it.

When grief besets us we have a time to mourn, to reset our lives into a discovery of longing for happiness. The time before we bloom again to life, to morph into new life. Leaving the grief, guilt and habit of sorrow in the past and live again! It is okay to be happy, with our self first!

God they blow me away every time!!!!

When are you reacting to “Sing”?

I've started calling Mitch Casper the Friendly Ghost on this video.

You need to do Run to You from PTX. Always gives me goosebumbs and has some of my favorite Avi Vocals ever.

This was awesoem

Looks like Mitch under the sheet is trying to mimic a mourning shroud. Used to be popular during times of grief in like....Victorian era, certain cultures will shroud their mirrors as a sign of respect for the deceased person.

You’ve gotta do Blinding Lights!

“Is it okay to be happy now... now that you’re gone (dead)

I highly recommend their cover of Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

When the party's over by ptx.... another great song to react to.... amazing !!

Love your reactions to PTX! (I’m not crazy about the transparent box, makes it tougher for viewers side. )

I’m pretty impressed with your camera and it’s quality it looks very good

Great vid!

Mitch is a Beetlejuice butterfly coming out of his cocoon.

Mitch under the sheet - I’m stealing this explanation from a viewer on another channel that I think nailed it. When you first move on from a relationship you initially feel like a ghost of yourself. Then there is a point where you let yourself decide it’s ok to be happy and move on. Mitch under the sheet is representing this.

As for Mitch under a sheet...You've never been ghosted?👻😁😂

Great reaction Jase! I love seeing how much you appreciate this group and their amazing talent. Is the transparent screen ideal? Obviously not, but it’s not like you guys haven’t seen the video on multiple other reaction channels- You know what it looks like so just enjoy the music and the reaction already 😉 Also, can we just take a minute and appreciate the amazing talent that Kevin is… Especially in this video where he is beatboxing insanely well and nonstop from the minute the video begins until it ends. He had to have been exhausted! I love my Mitch, but Kevin has the hard part in this song.

The Wizard of Ahhs by PTX and Toddrick Hall is also incredible, I bet you'd like that one!

Hi, read up on the biographies of PTX…such talent !

I said the same thing about Mitch and the sheet, except I phrased it as "why is Mitch playing a Ghost from a Scooby Doo cartoon?"

welp its mitch sooo do not question the 👑 🤣🤣

You should listen to their version of Mary, Did You Know. Talk about a song that is powerful, moving and beautiful. I love this group and have been a big fan of them since they were on and won Season 3 of The Sing Off in 2011.

The translucent video is fine. We're here for you, not the PTX video. If we want the full color we can (and should) go to the official video. Better this than altering the sound (which I've seen some commenters do)!

Glad you asked cause I was about to ask... Why the hell is Mitch wearing a sheet? This made me happy!

He's under the covers because he's being Mitch and does his own thing.... (possibly he was restricted but now has broken free and Happy Now!)

Great idea getting past the copyright. Hope it works...👌👍

100th like! Satisfying

I loved your cheesy ass grin you had during the reaction, lol ;)

You need to go to the PTX channel and you'll see/hear all kinds of live raw PTX!!!

This song is an original

Check out Kirstie front and center with "Be My Eyes."

Don't you know by now you just can't worry yourself too much about what Mitch is wearing? It could be your Uncle Eddie's size 48 overalls, it could be ghostwear. So far he hasn't tried nothing at all (that I'm aware of anyway) but tomorrow is another day. He's done the giant fuzzy pink heart outfit so I'm not shocked at anything from here on out. If he sings beautifully, that's what I keep coming back for.

Check out 'My Favorite Things' cover, Kevin and Matt both wear make up in it! hehe

I would like to see Jase react to Making Christmas (The Nightmare Before Christmas). It has a lot of great things to see and hear.

First, how did you know that was mitch under the sheet. Second, I felt the transparent screen detracted from the video. It reminded me of watching home movies projected onto a wall or back of a door. But I am sensitive to those things like that. Just passing along my thoughts

I believe the all wear some form of makeup. I think Kevin and Matt get just enough to look natural. Nothing wrong with make-up.

You HAVE to listen to white winter hymnal or god rest ur merry gentlemen! Their Christmas songs are amazing

Mitch. My QUEEN! I adore him, but that hair...........

Hit that subscribed button and have been watching back your videos! The Hamilton reaction was so much fun to watch. Also saw your reaction to Morrisette. That girl has got some otherwordly pipes. Have you checked out KZ Tandingan? Another Filipina singer worth listening, too. I recommend her version of Rolling in the Deep

Check out Naturally 7. Saw them live as the warm up act fro Michael Buble and they were amazing.

If you want to expand into more a capella stuff, watch "Underneath the Stars" by Voces8. They are classical group that does lots of classical and liturgical music, but also does some great covers and they do amazing music education.

I love this song! As a Avi lover I haven't really listen so much to their new stuff, but this one is amazing! Anyone know who wrote this?

Wow! Thank you for your videos. I'm really enjoying ALL of them, but especially the Pentatonix vids. If I want to send you a link of a video I found of Avi Kaplan that just blew me away, can I post it here? If not, where? Thx

I can’t stop listening to this song! Gorgeous! I have to be honest, I don’t love the transparent screen you added for the video because it mutes the tones and colors of the video. It is already a little bit tricky to see definition when they started off in black and white, and unfortunately that did not help any. Just my two cents. Thanks for reacting!
