I’m excited for when you get to PopSpring 2016 which is a live performance of 4 songs, 3 of which are originals.

Their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody is jaw-dropping. I won’t say upgrade out of respect for Freddy Mercury. But they cover this song phenomenally!

This mix is like the ultimate "Try not to dance/sing" challenge. They used autotune on the Cher song to honor it because it was the first use of it as an artistic choice rather than to make up for a singer's lack of pitch :D

You referred to "falsetto" for Mitch in this, but Mitch is a true counter-tenor and this is in his natural range

They are the ultimate pros of the mash up. The videos with an x between 2 titles and their evolutions are all mash ups.

Everyone thinks there should be an album of these songs full length. Who's going to tell PTX?

Kevin and Matt killing it as usual.

We Pentaholics never get tired of watching people discover them! It's like getting to meet a new friend. Thanks for your reaction, looking forward to seeing you discover all of our favorites! Recommending: Thank You (original, Scott on piano, Kevin on Cello, Christmas vibes) which Scott and his now husband Mark wrote during the lockdown or a dark horse not often requested: Royals. It really shows how good the group is before and how much better after the bass line comes in.

You would enjoy their -cover- upgrade of "O Come All Ye Faithful" (yes, the Christmas carol). In fact, you might want to play it as dance music next time you give a party.

Love witnessing the birth of a new Pentaholic! The shock and awe! The sheer joy and appreciation! And you ain't seen or heard nothin' yet! With over 200 covers, over 200 xmas, an ever expanding catalog of originals, not to mention the side projects they all participate in or contribute to! You will be busy for a while. Lots of great recommendations already, I have many myself. But best to start where they did...at the "beginning" when they competed in the televised 2011 Sing-Off Competition. Twelve episodes that showcase their talent and growth as individuals and a newly formed team, ready to take on the world and tackle the music industry to its knees. Great reaction! More please!

Nice to hear a familiar north-east accent! They’re doing this live throughout their present tour- a real ‘get up and dance’ moment.

If you feel it...do it! Stand up and dance! In a wheelchair myself or I would be too!!!

You mentioned in the Defying Gravity reaction you like musicals - I would recomment you check out Superfruit's (Mitch and Scott) Frozen Medley (it also features Kirsty). Also their collab with Todderick Hall Wizard of Ahhhs - very entertaining! Of course there are many, many other PTX songs to react to! Their cover of Come Along is one of the most upbeat and colourful covers!

They do make it look easy. They did put their Evergreen Album together in 14 days so yeah, they are aliens 👽❣️

I had never heard of this!

Good reaction! My favorite is mitch. And fyi that wasn't his falsetto. He's a counter or contra tenor. Which basically is a tenor that has a natural vocal range up into soprano. That's his natural range. Svott and Kevin use falsetto which if you watch they strain for. Mitch on other hand has no strain at all hitting high notes you haven't heard yet. "The prayer" is a good one but also mitch has cover of billie eilish "your power" he does live solo. Check it out. Tbey don't use auto tune. Except here which was homage to Cher singing "believe", where she famously was one of first artists to use auto tune. Cher called it "robo-cher". Lol

Pentatonix are just really cool. Nice to you you checking them out now more. You should continue on this as PTX has a lot of really good things to offer.

Great reaction! These songs really take me back. They used autotune on Cher's song because she used used it when she recorded the song. Look forward to more PTX reactions! :)

Enjoy! They also have an extensive Christmas catalog. I will be seeing them for the 4th time next week.

They are amazing in concert! Thx!

Their use of Auto-tune on the Cher song was a deliberate homage to Cher. She was the first to use Auto-tune creatively in a pop song and she did it on “Life After Love”. Pentatonix are such perfectionists. Everything they do, every choice they make is deliberate and meaningful.

Loved your reaction! Welcome to the Pentaholic family! I saw them last Saturday for the second time and they did this live and it was amazing! Going to see them again in November for their holiday concert.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the PTX family! We are probably the friendliest fandom on the internet, glad to have you aboard!

Thanks for joining us Pentaholics on this over a decade long journey of this amazing band! I absolutely love your joyful and enthusiastic reactions to them! I am much older than the decade these songs were hits, but was introduced to them through my sons. I also love to stand up and dance to these. This is only one of the many wonderful things about PTX, is that their fans are all ages, from my 71 yrs and older, to my granddaughters ages , 5 yrs and up. I introduced them to the girls when they were just toddlers, and they love them. Once again, your reactions are wonderful and a delight to watch. I do hope you will react to Bohemian Rhapsody and one of my absolute favorites , Come Along by Cosmo Sheldrake kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q56ih5maz5a0g6M.htmlsi=xnKG3UaM0zkN6DEx This is another wonderful thing about PTX is that you are introduced to new artists and music you never would otherwise have heard!

Just an FYI, when it comes to the top 3 A Capella groups out there, PTX has over 20 million subscribers, home free around 2.5 million, and voice play has less. PTX has 3 Grammys and a star on the Hollywood walk of fame, the only A Capella group that does. They have been in a movie, pitch perfect 2. They have been on multiple shows, including agt, sesame street, and bones. Plus 2 singing competitions.

_The Sing-Off_ was an a cappella competition show that ran on NBC. Bands had to audition for it, and those that made it on would give one or two performances a week throughout the season. There was a three-judge panel that would give the band their reactions after each performance; all of the judges were highly respected professional musicians. Some bands would be eliminated as the season progressed, tightening the field. After the twelfth performance viewers could call in to vote on a winner. First prize was $200,000 and a recording contract with Epic Records, a minor subsidiary of Sony, which was the sponsor of the show. When Kirstie, Mitch, and Scott were in high school they'd formed a trio that performed at school functions and occasionally appeared on local television. They'd named it, not so imaginatively, "The Trio" (this is why pentaholics refer to these three as "the trio" to this day). Kirstie and Scott were a year ahead of Mitch in high school, and graduated in 2010. They each went off to college during Mitch's senior year in high school. Kirstie had a full ride scholarship at the University of Oklahoma, and Scott attended the University of Southern California where he joined an award winning amateur a cappella group named SoCal VoCals. Through SoCal VoCals he met Ben Bram, who had a job as a coach on _The Sing-Off._ Scott was intrigued by the idea of The Trio going on the show. If they could win that recording contract they could make a career for themselves doing what they loved best, with the people they loved best - The Trio need never split up. So at the end of their freshman year at college Scott and Kirstie headed home to Arlington to be there for Mitch's graduation and to talk about Scott's big idea with Mitch. Meanwhile, Mitch had been having problems at school. Mitch and Scott are both gay, and both had come out of the closet in high school, and Mitch's high voice provided the high school bullies with a pretext for some gay-bashing. Mitch may have known that it was really gay-bashing, but he seems to have internalized it as being about his voice, so when Scott presented his plan Mitch was doubtful. But Scott and Kirstie both said it would be okay, and it would get him away from the bullies, so Mitch agreed. With his two best friends on board, it was time to put the plan in motion, so Scott called Ben to find out how to arrange an audition for The Trio. And Ben told him that the rules requred them to have at least five members in the band. The Trio needed two new members and a new name. Ben suggested that their best bet would be to add a rhythm section - a bass and a beatboxer. For a bass he suggested a guy he knew named Avi Kaplan who was an operatically trained basso profundo with an incredible range. The Trio called Avi, and he was very interested, so that was okay, but Ben had no suggestions of where to find a beatboxer. In desperation The Trio went to KZfaq and typed "beatboxer" into the search box and the first video that popped up was one that was going viral that week, showing a black guy playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time. And The Trio said, "Wow! He's perfect! Let's get him!" Good idea, but how to do it? It turns out that back then it was possible to send private messages in KZfaq (this is no longer the case), so they sent Kevin a message. "We love what you're doing; congratulations on going viral. And would you be interested in flying across the country to audition for an a cappella competition show with four strangers?" Then they crossed their fingers and waited. And somewhat to their surprise Kevin actually messaged them back. "Normally I'd be right there; I've worked with a cappella groups before and I love a cappella. But right now I'm studying for my final exams for my pre-med degree from Yale." Sigh. That sounded pretty definite. Better look for someone else. But no one else was as good as Kevin. They had pretty much convinced themselves to settle for second best when they got another message from Kevin. "Hey! Good news! I just graduated. If the gig's still open I can fly out." Scott picked him up at the airport. The Trio met both Avi and Kevin in person the day before their audition. Mitch had to skip his high school graduation ceremony to attend the audition. They chose the name "Pentatonix" in honor of the pentatonic scale, a scale with five (penta) tones just as their band has five (Penta) singers. In other words, it's a slightly more imaginative way of saying that they're now The Quintet. Pentatonix appeared throughout the 2011 season of _The Sing-Off_ (season 3); all of those performances are available on KZfaq and they're well worth watching, preferably in order so you can see how they grew over the course of three months. Try to watch the ones that include both the introduction and the judges' comments afterwards. Some of these performances are as good as anything they've done since, and they haven't covered those songs since so the recordings from _The Sing-Off_ are the only source available. Of course, the history of Pentatonix doesn't end there, but that's enough for now, because you'd mentioned not knowing about _The Sing-Off._ If you have trouble finding the old recordings just mention it in a reaction and someone will give you a comment full of links.

Every single reactor at the end: No! It's over? Without fail. Absolute epicness. Especially if you were a teenager/young adult in the 90s (like myself) and heard these at every dance and club you went to.

Fun reaction! For me, PTX is always great.

They love to do this live. They got everyone on their feet at the concert I went to in July. There is a live at the Hollywood Bowl video of them doing this you might want to check out!

The number one comment from every reactor I watched reacting to this 90's medley is...oh no!! It's over, I could have listened to another 5 minutes. Thanks for sharing your time and great reaction with us. Welcome to your Pentatonix rabbit hole. Peace✌

Now don't you just want to hear them do a Disco Medley !?!?!? EPIC !!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pentatonix! I’ve seen them live 2x and they are AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You can pull up all the Sing Off videos that Pentatonix did with the comments by the judges. You can see where they came from to where they are today! They made full use of You Tube after Sony released them from their year contract because Sony literally didn’t know what to do with them! They started off with covers of other groups but I think their first original song that made it big was “Run to You” That has been followed by many others “Light in the Hallway” written by Scott (tall blond baritone but with incredible range) for his nephew and sung by Avi, “Water” sung by Kristen (only seen as part of a 4 song mini concert clip from Pop Spring 2016), “Anchor” sung by Mitch (totally beautiful) and “Thank You” written by Scott and his SO (just married recently) kind of considered a Christmas song but really nice any time of the year! Going down the “rabbit hole” of songs covered by Pentatonix is an absolute joy! Each song listened to becomes your favorite until the next one is listened to.🥰🎉😍😁

Brilliant reaction again, your joy at watching and listening to PTX is wonderful😀

Think I’m a new Pentaholic! This is toooooo good! Singing to every song 😅

If you enjoyed this, you should also react to their daft punk medley. If you think the beatboxing here was insane, the beatboxing in the daft punk medley will ultimately blow your mind!!!😂

Always nice to run into new PTX fans enjoying their pure perfection as much as I do. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

Great reaction. Thank you. I love this Pentatonix video. They are extremely creative with their arrangements and with the execution of said arrangements.

They have a new, O Holy Night and you can't miss, Kiss From A Rose and Please Santa Please. These are great! Thanks for your reactions.

When they were kids I believe Kirsten stopped mitch from being bullied.. from then on she was his bestie

Another Pentatonix mashup of theirs is called La La Latch (Sam Smith/Disclosure/Naughty Boy Mashup) cover, its soo good , great reactions !!!, subbed

I have a sneaking suspicion that you played this medley again right away and danced and sang all the way through it! They do the big anthems so well that it’s easy to forget how upbeat and catchy they can also be. Check out their Evolution of Michael Jackson medley, Can’t Hold Us, Problem, Come Along and their original Sing for more of these happy vibes. Loved your reaction, thanks! Peace …

Saw them live 4 times but it was the first time with Matt since their europe tour was cancelled many times. Love them ❤

I have to keep coming back to your reactions! They are so fun!

I so enjoyed your reaction to this. It really is so much fun to hear this one. Gotta sing along to them all. The autotune was strictly an homage to Cher (the autotune original) They certainly don't need it. I think we all want them to do an album of all of the songs here in FULL! Thanks for the good time!

Hi! My first time to your channel. I am a Pentaholic and watch a lot of reactors. I love reactors that totally enjoy their experience. I subbed and will go back to view the ones you've previously reacted to. PTX is just such a joy to watch and they totally enjoy entertaining! I recommend watching one of their live performances, like PopSpring 2016 or even the ones from their 2022 Hollywood Bowl appearance. PTX will provide you with a LOT of content and we're out here watching! Thanks for the great reaction! Edit: I realized after that I have seen one of your reactions before! Have a great day!

when they do a medley its like 20 songs not just 3 or 4...and the transitions are seamless. they also do mashups of 2 songs where they keep goings back and forth between songs until it is basically a new song. la la latch is my favorite.

If you want a look at their process, the KZfaq short Film (15 mins?) "The recording of Evergreen" shows the process of making 2022s Christmas album. Amazing look behind the scenes.

I’m so excited that my insomnia has plopped me firmly at the beginning of your Pentatonix journey ❤ Buckle up! Lol

This was wonderful! =)

How many of us are singing along? Probably everyone! LOL. Welcome to PTX. Enjoy the ride.

Great reaction. I’m obsessed with PTX. Keep them coming

You really can't do a lot of the songs in this era without autotune, especially Cher

What a fun reaction. Enjoyed your chair dancing 😊

Are you ready for this!?! Enjoy!

I loved your reaction - I feel the same way! I want to sing and dance to this cover also! Thanks for sharing!

I just subbed and can’t wait for more of your PTX reactions.

Just saw them on the 29 th August and they were amazing.

They are annoyingly fast at arranging stuff at this point. Medleys are the most work (and honestly, least direct payoff since the amount of licensing that has to be done...). They "complain" sometimes when something takes a long time to arrange... which meant in their world "a few days"... A normal song they can bang out in a few hours by now. There is a reason that 2 of their 3 grammy wins were for arranging. Scott (blonde) has also won an emmy for his part in arranging a choir performance this year. There are lots of behind the scenes things throughout the years where you can see them "circle jam" (as they call it) to get a rough outline for the arrangement and they have had a "silent member" since the start called Ben Bram who is a spectacular arranger. A fun peek behind the scenes is their 17 minute video "Recording of Evergreen"

I enjoyed watching you have so much fun reacting to this one. Getting ready for my 3rd concert in about one year. They are great live!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

And: they can also pull this off live! There are several videos around to prove this!

haha great reaction gazmash! all my fav songs ever ! im singing along to all of them ! glad ur havin fun with this one ! cant wait to see ur other reactions ! love great music! much love to u and urs

Try also Superfruit Hip Hop goes Broadway and Pentatonix live at Superbowl. They are AMAZING live. Saw they in London and wow wow wow.

I love 70's porn-star Mitch! I don't know most of these songs - I'm 67 - but I don't care. You're never disappointed by PTX. Be sure to give a listen to the 2016 live Popspring concert. Or their cover of Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us" for some pretty amazing rapping. It's so fun getting to "rediscover" them with you! Thanks for sharing your reactions.

I recommend 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Imagine', or 'Popspring 2016' The last one is about 15minutes long but it is well worth a listen. They do 4 songs, 3 of which are original (Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, and Water) , and they also do their Evolution of Michael Jackson in it as well. They are just as good live! Also, please make a PTX playlist for your reactions! That way it makes it easier for us to recommend you songs

Love your reaction

There is a live version of this which shows they can duplicate this outside of the studio

wait til you hear their Daft Punk piece

They allowed auto tune on Cher because she was the first pop song that used it. It was a hat tip to her.

Great to see your reaction to Superfruit and Pentatonix... you should definitely try Superfruit's Exe and Pentatonix Original video of Amazing Grace and Imagine. If you want to go back stage with them and see their recording, then I will recommend Recording of Evergreen. It is a lon video but worth every minute.

You should react to some of their K- and J-pop covers and originals. They have a BTS mashup, "Butter x Dynamite"; a medley of songs from J-pop group Perfume, "Perfume Medley"; two collaborations with J-pop group Little Glee Monster ("Dear My Friend" and "Midnight in Tokyo"); and a remix of their original "A Little Space" with members of K-pop group ATEEZ; a cover of "Pretender" by J-pop artist Satoshi Fujihara

Recommend their cover of The Prayer.

The auto tune was a nod to Cher who was the first to make it popular.

They don't use auto tune

Haha welcome to a trip down the PTX Rabbit Hole. Now that u've peered over the edge of the hole & have started to slide down it make sure in ur PTX videos that u pause a stupid amount especially if it's a Vevo (bottom right hand corner) marked video cuz u'll get slapped up the wazoo from both Vevo & RCA for copyright & definitely have an opacity filter on. Oh another thing to watch out for is if u see Kirstie crack a smile that's ur early warning that she, Mitch or both is about to belt the crap out of a song & hit notes that'll blow ur mind & leave u beat up & Mitch Slapped. Case in point she cracks a smile in Amazing Grace before Mitch goes on a deep run & slaps everbody then she cracks a smirk just before she opens up & belts the crap out of the song. She does it too in Mary Did You Know where they gang up on us & she does it too in The Prayer. There's a few other songs she does it too like Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Seasons of Love & The Little Drummer Boy to name a few.

English Seth Rogan. SHT happends happy days.

I dislike that ''Everytime We Touch'' was included. Song was released in 90's by Maggie Reiley but it wasn't a dance hit. Cover by Cascada in 2005/2006 was dance hit but it should not count. Pentatonix is awesome as always. Autotune usage is just for Cher. Believe is one of song that did autotune right.

I hate the sound coming in loud then soft. yikes hate it

👎👎👎
