No, Mitch can't auto-tune his voice. That is the only time they ever used it as a homage to Cher and the first popular use of auto-tune.

I like to watch this one not only for the great music, but because they are having so much fun that it's absolutely contagious.

That was actually autotune on Mitch's voice. It's the only time I know of that they've used it, and it was because Cher used it as a special effect so they felt they had to as well, to be true to the original.

When they were on the sing off one of the judges said that acapella club music is so hard to do with a bunch of people not to mention there is only 5 of them PTX. And they were not wrong. The arrangement of this is brilliant. As for Mitch, they have been asked who is on pitch the most and everybody answered Mitch. So he doesn’t need autotune always being in tune or on pitch. Sometimes it brothers me when people say in the comments that Kevin is an okay beatboxer but not as good as so and so. I cannot stand comparisons in the first place but I think there is a whole lot going on with Kevin that we don’t even notice but take away what we aren’t hearing and it would be a disaster. Arguably they are all essential but without our KO we would lose not only world class beat boxing skills but a world class cellist. And vocalist. KO is one of those gifted people that remains humble. T ✌🏻

Definitely go back to where it all began. "The Sing Off" is the name of the show in case you don't know. And you should do them in order to see how they progress.

I saw this one live last year, and people were actually on their feet dancing. That's pretty crazy considering it's acapella. They are incredibly talented.

They improve with every song. It's great that they don't rest on their laurels.

Kevin is a beat boxing beast

Mitch’s voice IS the electric guitar…………this man is beyond words! So much talent!

_The Sing-Off_ ran from 2009 through 2012. Pentatonix appeared throughout the third season (2011), eventually winning. The fourth season winners were Home Free. It's best to watch the performances in order, to see how they grew over the course of a bit less than three months. Also, you want the versions that show any introductory stuff (there were cameras following them around while they rehearsed, and they occasionally talked about their process or who they were), the things the judges said after the performance, and anything Pentatonix may have said backstage afterwards. There were 12 performances before voting was opened to the television audience, a victory performance with Ed Sheeran when they won (if I recall correctly), and the cameras followed them when they visited their chosen charity, The Trevor Project, after they won, though a lot of important stuff was edited out of that tape. And I think something else, but I'm not sure what - I'm sure someone here knows what I've forgotten.

I'm impressed that you noticed the tuned tom-toms that Kevin uses in "Everybody Dance Now". Very few reactors spot that. 👍😄

I was in the front row for the first stop on their summer concert tour last year, and even though it was over 100° with the heat index, almost everyone was up and dancing and singing along to this song!!

Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin - anything is possible - but if so I've never encountered him or her. I ran into an interview where Kevin pointed out that they drink a LOT of water (it's one of the ways they care for their voices), which means they also do a lot of burping. So Kevin has figured out ways to include burping in his beatboxing. Kirstin gave him a dirty look.

They used auto tune on that song because Cher did. Mitch can make some crazy sounds like the guitar in Bohemian Rhapsosy and the EDM sounds in parts of Daft Punk. Great reaction! To see more beatboxing and bass, New Rules x Are You That Somebody, Problem and for harmonies Perfect or Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

Mitch's voice is perfect in everything! Yes, more medleys/evolutions please! Definitely the Masked Singer after they were unmasked and the Sing Off (#7, #10 and #12 are my favorites!)!!! You will love them, I promise.

Thanks for reacting to this one. I agree with you that they are all amazing! For a great example of Kevin's beatboxing ability give a listen to their original song Coffee In Bed. His beatboxing is layered, but it is all him.😊

I always enjoy when the reactors can relate to the songs! The Sing Off performances are available on YT and seeing their origins is always fun. The episodes include their performances and the judges reactions/comments. Not to be missed!

Go back to the sing off. I think is is like 12 episodes this will let you see where the started it was Scott Mitch and Kirstin. Kevin and avi joined just 72 hours before the show started. It was a requirement that you have at least 5 people to enter. This would show you truly the beginning of pentatonix. And you can see how far they have come

the sing off . My fave performances are. E.T., Born to Be Wild, Let's Get It and Dog Days are Gone

Love this one it brings back so many memories. They all slow out in this one.

Hi! New subbie here! Yes, they used auto-tune during Cher's "Do You Believe" but it is a nod to Cher. Cher was one of the first (if not THE first) to use auto-tune as a sound effect in a song, especially THIS song. For a long time, the auto-tune sound was even referred to as the "Cher-effect!" I love that they used it here in homage to Cher! I'd love to know if Cher ever heard this medley and what she thought of it!

Recommend their kind of original of Prayers For This World.

Yes, please watch them from the beginning on The Singoff. It is so much fun. Some of them met a couple of days before they were on the show. It's all on KZfaq.

PTX 🔥🤘

For these studio recordings, Pentatonix has a genius mixer / vocal processor.. He positions the voices, filters the percussion and bass to sharpen the sound and does other filtering and, yes, even autotune to get the sound they are looking for. But he keeps the effects to a minimum because they want to be able to perform their songs live and sound like the recording.

Man get up and dance. Enjoy yourself. That is what music is about

to really hear some great scott vocals check out his solo song Mars -live choir version

The American Singoff 2011. They had me when they sang their name in the intro. They got every vote i could cast. Amazing kids.

Check out Scott Hoying’s solo work!

I like your reaction as new subscriber to your channel, Could you do a reaction video to a Filipino girl group sings "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by 4TH IMPACT Have a Beautiful day.

Thank you for reacting to this fun Pentatonix video. They are amazing. If you are interested in watching a live performance of this medley, here is a link to their 2022 performance at the Hollywood Bowl: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5dgdJeaz9OpeGg.html

please react to pentatonix new rules. sing. pompeii. butter and dynamite.

For another good dance song, try "O Come All Ye Faithful." (Yes, I know it's a Christmas song and Christmas was last month. Doesn't matter - if you want dance songs this should be at the top of your list.) For more medleys watch any of their "Evolution of..." videos. I won't recommend "Daft Punk" only because you've already reacted to it. You'll also see some medleys/mash-ups in their _Sing-Off_ performances.

You should check NF out

That beatboxing at the start of "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" has to be multi-tracked. No way all of those drum sounds can come out of him at once. Pentatonix does use layers and multiple tracks in a lot of their studio recordings. For example in this video they use autotune to sound like the original Cher song. It sounds like you are assuming that everrything is just raw recordings of them and that's just not the case. A lot of these songs, especially their more recent stuff, is Heavily Produced. They sound amazing but I still prefer their more stripped down and less produced recordings.

Obviously using auto-tune... you can't do that song without it :D. Vocal percussion is incredible.

Nope. They use Autotune for thr Cher song...because SHE did, but no one can do that sound...I'm pretty sure.

If you want to hear a real oldie with some incredible beatboxing by Kevin , this is from 11 years ago & performed live in the 104.3 MYfm studio kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbKpp7B4lduRnqc.html

You apparently have not heard much PTX.

Way too much stopping
