Check out their cover of Sound of Silence, it is the first time I heard Matt and I got chills the minute he hit his first note. He is the bass and like Avi, Matt’s singing voice is beautiful! I like your reactions, thanks.

They gave him a prime position in that arrangement, as it builds in intensity from Scott, (who came in gloriously with his lower register) to Mitch, (in his flawless lower-mid register), and then gets handed to Matt in such a way that he absolutely stuns. Kirsten takes the apex of the song after Matt, like the pro she is, and belts like only she can belt. Each of the four solo vocalists gives me chills in their own way in Sound of Silence. I never get sick of that arrangement.

Scott and Mitch have been singing together for years. Shortly after Pentatonix was formed, the two started up their own channel, Superfruit. At first it was just a funny, off the wall and NSFW weekly vlog, but as time went on, they began to do songs, invited friends to join them in the vlog, sometimes singing together, and eventually they produced two albums, Future Friends Part 1 and Future Friends Part 2. They disbanded the vlog in 2019. You should check out some of their songs...Rise ( Katy Perry cover) Lost On You ( Inception and LP cover, Hip Hop Goes Broadway, Empire medley, Happy Little Pill, Guy. Exe, Evolution of Lady Gaga, and so much more. To hear Matt singing...You're A Mean One Mr Grinch. He's lead in the whole song.

Hello my friend and happy new year to you and your family! Matt has a solo in Pentatonix cover of "The Sound Of Silence". I just found and Sub'd your channel. this is a great rection and truthful revelation of how it affected you. Wonderful. I would like to invite you to add another A Capella group to you channel. They won the TV show "The Sing Off" the year after Pentatonix did. The group is "Home Free" and unlike Pentatonix, you will have no copyright issues of getting your videos blocked by KZfaq. They are the only "Country" vocal group out there, but don't think they are only country. They have covers out there of The Doobie Brothers, Justin Timberlake, Boy'z to Men, Righteous Brothers, Jonny Cash, and many more. they have a beatboxer that is world class and a bass singer that has a 5 octave vocal range. they are an A Capella rabbit hole that other reactors have fallen down with no regrets. I would like to suggest for your listening pleasure, "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Try Everything" from the movie Zootopia, "Listen to the Music" and a classic from Jonny Cash "Ring of Fire" featuring Avi Caplin from PTX. Best wishes for the new year and keep up the great work!

@judithbush939 Жыл бұрын

They have 200 plus song catalog, not a diasppointing song among them, I haven't quite covered them all , but they cover everything from rap to gospel. If you wish to go back to the beginning. They won, the TV acapella sing- off three in 2011. It worth watching, Kirsty, Scott and Mitch were only 19, Kevin was 23 and Avi, there first bass was 21 at the time Thr first three are childhood friends. They me the other two, one or two days beforee their audtion.

Fantastic reaction! There are songs where Matt leads, so you'll get to hear him. His voice is beautiful, but then, they are Pentatonix, so when Avi left, a few years ago, they pretty much had their pick of the best of the best. They chose a singer with incredibly joyful, energy in Matt. He and Avi are very different singers, but both add/ed their own flavor to the mix of PTX, and Matt is exactly the right fit for right now. At this point they have about an equal number of years with the band. The arrangement and performance of this song is so incredibly beautiful. I was banking on it getting a Grammy nomination, but the entire album it is on, "Evergreen," was nominated instead, so I am so excited to see if it wins. It has stiff competition from Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, Diana Ross, and Norah Jones. It would be the fourth Grammy for Pentatonix, and Matt's first.

@donnone7295 Жыл бұрын

Avi left on good terms in 2017 due to his own mental health and be with nature while Scott was pushing for Pentatonix to do more music, TV shows and public appearances to gain a larger following. The Real Crux was when his Mom had Cancer. Avi's sister was their road manager so both children were away on tour all the time. Avi is doing well and just started his own band. There is a PTX Weekly channel that reviews each members moments from TixToc and Instagram. Often Avi has a few mentions at the end of the video. Matt sings first in "Amazing Grace" and the location was one of the wedding venues he checked out. It is half hour outside LA and has been in different TV shows and movies. Matt got married in January 2022 and ALL 5 members were there. Kirstin gave birth end of June 2022 and Kevin and his wife have a toddler that will be 2 in April. They are Real people with every day life and still make beautiful music for the world.

Just as with Halleluyah there was that tingling up the spine. The first time I experienced that was in the 50s with Mario Lanza singing Ave Maria. Pentatonix (Greek for "five sounds) has an integration of voices like I have never heard before.
