Watching your face was priceless! Kiaara cannot sing this song live - it's ALL digital effects and autotuning. Mitch just goes "that's ok, I'll do it all with my mouth and slide between the notes". I think Kevin's beatboxing and Avi's bass is phenomenal. I'm not really a fan of the original but I love this version of it. It's so stripped back it really shows their amazing vocal control.

This was a one take video as well. Everyone knew and executed their part to give us another vocal master class.

The expression on your face at the end of the song was definitely worth the price of admission! Mitch's ability to do naturally without the looping and digital effects that Kiiara used, the beatbox/bass breakdown, and the Trio sharing the final chorus - all make this such a fun video to see reactors watch, especially if they know the original song!

You really need to listen to the original and then this cover. The original uses a lot of autotune and other electronic effects to get the final part to sound the way it does. Pentatonix did it with only their voices. This is one of the videos we fans like to use when people say "they don't sound like that live" Yes, dear. The sound just as good live as they do in studio.

Gold is like a perfect little gem. I could never get sick of it. The harmonies and dynamics just ring, Mitch's part is gorgeous, the variations at the end are genius, the way Kirstie and Scott were tripling Avi's bass rhythm was intense, and Kevin was the perfect engine. I cannot describe how much I love this cover.

I think what they "breathed" into this cover was humanity. The synth of the original was cool and inventive, but to humanize the feeling of the lyrics just worked wonders.

Loved your reaction. I like this version better than the original. I also love that they are just sitting on a couch, and you can watch all of them the entire time. This is one of my favorites.

Thanks for this great reaction to one of my favorite songs by Pentatonix. The transitions of the Trio are just seamless.

Nearly all reactors to this say they are not familiar with the Kiara original. A few have done the two versions back-to-back and so can see how amazing the difference is. This is a song that shows why all of the others point to Mitch when an interviewer asks them who is the best singer in the group. Many of us recommend this one to those who want to be able to see what each member does during the entire song. It was fun watching your pleasure and amazement throughout the song.

I can't begin to name the songs that were never anything special to me until I heard Pentatonix upgrade them. "Gold" is probably at the top of the list. I love their one-take videos, where you can watch each member adding their own special essence to propel the song forward. This one shows how they can take a highly digitized song and recreate it in their own style, with their own superhuman effects. Brilliant! Great reaction, as always!

Never heard this one.. first listen... love me some Pentatonix!! Kirstie has a phenomenal voice.. Mitch does too.. but wow Kirstie has so much control.. and i just sooo love her... these guys are so talented... and yes i do support them as well... good analysis too there Stack-man!! Great vid!

Ya it was heavily synthed and produced on the original. Such an upgrade by PTX!!!

I saw what you were doing, and got chills before I even clicked through 😭

Love this one, especially the breakdown with Avi and Kevin towards the end

It was Mitch , Scott, and Kirstin going back and forth. Avi was holding down that excellent bass line. Kevin, of course, was on another planet doing his thing.

Your mouth open at the end there was just the BEST!!😂😂😂

Mitch, Scott, and Kirstie (not Avi) going back and forth on the chorus

So glad you decided to react to this! It is by far my favorite. Not a fan of the original. Love Mitch in this. You need to hear their cover of The Greatest Show!!! Warning, you will be Mitch-Slapped!!!

Vocally scrumptious!

This is one my favorite Pentatonix songs.

I saw all those stages on you face! LOL. I love how you appreciate their talents and that you enjoyed it so much.

Boy, I do love to watch you react to Pentatonix! I found them during the pandemic and immediately enjoyed their performances. Realizing that people with music knowledge enjoy and admire them too is so reassuring. I may not know why, but I do know what appeals to me. These live, in-studio videos are always impressive. Evidently they run through a song a couple of times and then just go with the one that’s best. Peace from Ohio …

Great reaction! Hope they win their Grammy tonight!!!

Great reaction. Love this one. Really hope you react to Avi's solo stuff so good.

of their hundreds of covers and originals, THIS stays on my Top Five Fave List 🔥🙌🏻💖🎉

I'd never heard this song before and thought it a bit repetitive the first listen through. Then I went and found the original which I didn't care for at all. Came back and listened to this one again and started noticing the details - the layers, Kevin's beatboxing is stellar in this one and reactors don't usually comment on that. Yes, Mitch is excellent, but we all expect that. I feel like this key is right in his strongest, most comfortable wheelhouse because he hits all those notes so effortlessly. I really enjoy their one-take videos like this....just fabulous!

You're always so good at articulating your thoughts and feelings about each song. Not all reactors can relay how they experienced the song. A lot of hemming and having and "mmmmms' & "ah..ah...ahs". Love your facial expressions, too. Thanks for honest, sincere reactions.

I loved seeing it dawn on your face what Mitch was accoomplishing when you started to recognize this song! omg your reactions are awesome.

That was an awesome reaction. I’m so happy you chose this one . Thank you so much. This is definitely one of my favorites and yes, definitely , no question,Pentatonix version sooo much better❤️

Love your reaction! Love this cover❤️

After hearing this I checked out the original. I don't mind that Kiiara is using a lot of processing, and the song is interesting for the first minute or so, but then it doesn't go anywhere. She seems to be repeating the same few lines over and over without any dynamics or development. With PTX the song keeps growing and evolving with every verse.

Yay I was waiting for you to get to this one. To me it’s one of the best examples of their skill. When you get a chance, watch the original song again - kiiara uses looping and recording to hit that range of notes. Mitch just does it because he’s an ALIEN! 😂

You’re reaction and look on you’re were priceless!! ❤️ PTX

This is masterful

Oh gosh! I love this song. Your reaction was priceless! I saw the puzzlement on your face at first...then it hit you. Pure enjoyment for sure. Thanks.

What a great upgrade of this Kiara song. Your reaction was great to watch!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

you don't just comment its your facial reactions and everything you are hearing, just makes these so great to watch.

I’ve been waiting for you to react to this one!!! It’s FANTASTIC!! ❤️ Thank you!

I never get tired of this one 🤯🔥💜. It’s a good thing you don’t seem to have flies or gnats in your house because near the end of this you probably would have ingested a few 😲. 😉

One of my absolute favorites they’ve done. Love it.

Exactly what I needed! Thank you so much Sean! I really liked the original, but Mitch can do the octave changes/run on the chorus which is extremely difficult. Kiiara doesn't sing the hook in one take. They cut and splice her vocals together, plus add autotune.

Great reaction!! Love this cover way better! Hope there’s more PTX coming, particularly some of their originals. Missed your reactions!

Fun reaction. This is a masterpiece of music to me. I listen to this frequently. Thank you so much.

The look on your face was classic! I always look forward your reactions - you know your stuff! I can't wait to hear what you think of the original versus the upgrade

Your reaction to this was priceless. I felt you at 02:49-hard same. 😂

I think you would also like their version of 'No'. Another live performance, lots of fun and as usual, amazing.

As stated in other comments…I loved watching your facial expressions through this! One of my favs

Wonderful reaction!

Great reaction. I am not a fan of the original. If I had to describe it, I would say "interesting". But the Pentatonix upgrade I call it "entirely enjoyable". One of my top ten favorite Pentatonix songs.

One of my favorites from them…….Judy D

I would love to see you react (if you haven't already

Your face at 3:09 says it all. 🤭

I like the original ok, but I love their cover!

Love your reactions man, you should react to voiceplay!

I want you to add an edit to this video of your reaction AFTER you heard the original. This is so much better!

Love your reaction Hands down love their cover better❤

Kiarra

Great reaction. I actually don’t like the original but I love ptx version. It’s the only version I listen to 😊

Can you reaction Hip - MAMAMOO plss

They are freaking amazing. Listen to the original by Kiara and then realize what Mitch did with his voice. This is virutally impossible fo rmost to even attempt to sing what Mitch does.

Remember, no covers... Only upgrades!

To be fair, I heard this first from Pentatonix. So when I heard the original, I didn't like it at all. It's full of synth noise and looping. After hearing this upgrade, the way it's done so perfectly. Each and every sound is so crisp and clear. The original sounds forced, fake and hollow. It may just be the pentaholic in me though. Lol I loved your reaction, as always. As others have said, the look in your face as you realized what all was going on was awesome. Take care and be safe until I see you again. 😸

I know a lot of people love this, but other than PTX's wonderful voices and harmonies, I just don't get the appeal.

Sitting on their famous couch.

Superior to original. Try their Havana cover.

Avi...

EDM without the E.

They are empaths...

I guess they also have a cover called Rose Gold? Not the song I was expecting, but it sounded good.

Watch out. Kiiara's video is just creepy.

Mitch. Just Mitch. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Great reaction! I hated the original, its an auto tuned, digital piece of 💩, IMHO. Mitch made it a song I can listen to over and over. Avi and Kevin really stand out too! PTX gave it such a chill vibe.
