No autotune, no instruments, no adjustments. PTX makes a point of never recording anything they can't reproduce exactly live :) Kevin (beatboxer) plays the cello in some of their productions, but it's always very visible. Do check out their cover of Hallelujah...both the official version as well as the live version....you'll see (hear)

If you want to be completely blown away, you should listen to PTX's rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Some info about the members: Kevin - the beatboxer and also a tenor though he has only a few solos Scott - the blond guy that started the song, he has the most solos in the group and will be singing in like half of the songs they have, he is a baritone so that makes his voice the best fit for mainstream music, he has an amazing range because he can cover both bass notes and go all the way into falsetto Matt - the guy you liked, he is a baritone/bass, has a few solos but you usually hear him doing the bass line Kirstie - the only girl, mezzo-soprano, I agree with you she has a very unique voice, didn't use to have many solos because she was conscious of her voice but since vocally she has improved the most she has been getting more and more solos and her range is insane because she can belt real high but also has a really pretty lower tone Avi - he is not in the video because he left ptx in 2017 but he was the original bass of the group Mitch - the second guy singing and let me tell you, you haven't heard anything from him yet, he is a counter tenor and has one of the most impressive ranges I have ever heard(if you listen to the part where Kirstie is singing you can hear a higher harmonie to her solo and yes that Mitch) and you probably can't tell from this song because he is singing I his lower range but he has one of the most unique voices ever Some song recommendations: hallelujah(there is also a professionally recorded version from their Christmas special), can you feel the love tonight(to hear some more Matt), imagine(to hear every member sing), bohemian rhapsody(the electric guitar is just👌 you won't understand that unless you watch it), daft punk medley(recorded for 400$ in a closet and won them their first grammy)

This is all natural. They sound this good live.

I would love to see more PTX reactions from you two!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this or if you're interested but Pentatonix just dropped a cover of Mad World on Wednesday!? Its a true 5 point harmony cover! No beatboxing in this one and it sounds incredible! Very haunting 😮 and you get that unique Pentatonix wall of sound that is so beautiful and powerful! My favorite wall of sound is the one in Imagine where they literally sound like one voice which was the message of the cover!

Yes, there is compression there, but I've never really caught autotune on their vocals. The correction that is done in post-production is mostly timing related and a bit of layering to make it sound fuller. But, since the fact that they can do all of this live has kind of been their brand from the beginning, they clearly make sure to keep the post-production to minimum. The guy in the middle, Scott, is a baritone singer, so he's quite versatille with his range. He covers the bass line when the bass singer (Matt - white jacket) has a lead. But he can also cover some pretty high harmonies with his falsetto. The second guy who sang (Mitch - high voice) was really tame in this song in particular. He rivals the lady (Kirstin) to the point where even seasoned fans are sometimes not sure if certain high notes were hit by him or her without watching the video. He has a pretty sick part in Hallelujah or Can You Feel the Love Tonight, for example. Kevin, the beatboxer, rarely sings in their songs. And when he does, he often stays on the harmonies. His solos are very rare. He has one in Imagine or Mary Did You Know though. Vocally he's a tenor. They are pretty big. It's only shame that they're mostly known for their covers. Their covers are awesome, don't get me wrong, but they have great original music that doesn't get enough attention. They're actually dropping a new original album this year (at least from what I can tell). A few weeks ago they've released the first single for the album, called Happy Now. Anyway, thank you so much for reacting to them. This video made me ridiculously happy :).

The guy on the right would love Mitch in “Aha! - Singapore the Star Vista” 😉

They just dropped a new video ,MAD WORLD

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley", one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies", and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen),"Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Will the Circle be Unbroken" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement).

If you like these guys, you can go down the rabbit whole and check out a lot more....😎

Please more pentatonix 💛💛

Honestly, love every single Pentatonix video every. But you really, really need to check out their Daft Punk video. It is older, back when Avi Kaplan (original member) was their bass. You will NOT believe how low Avi can go. Also check out Kevin’s solo stuff where he is celloboxing. It will amaze you. 😊

Great Reaction! Welcome down the Pentatonix rabbit hole! We fans call ourselves Pentaholics. FYI: There is no lead & there are no egos in this group. They equally share the spotlight when a song calls for it. Their arrangements are industry leading by Ben Bram. Their layers add amazing depth to a song. What makes them unique is that EACH of them has such a wide vocal range. Kevin is the inventor of cello-boxing (playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time)! SO MANY GREAT songs to choose from! They have won 3 Grammys and tour the world. They have redefined acapella for a new generation!

If you want to hear Kevin, the beatboxer sing, check out Imagine - THX for your reaction!

They do not pitch correct. The percussionist guy as you call him rarely sings in beat heavy songs. He is a tenor who plays concert level cello and saxophone and plays piano and assists in arranging

Great reaction! Of course, the audio was recorded in a studio, but it is all just them making all the sounds (acapella). The guy you liked in the white jacket is the only new member to the band. He is their bass guy and replaced their original bass Avi. The new bass is Matt.

Yeah! This one is a phenomenal. You might want to check out their version of Bohemian Rhapsody and many more amazing stuffs. I will assure you, they will blow your mind.

Welcome to the world of PTX! Enjoy the ride. So many beautiful songs to hear.

Pentatonix: 5 (6 with the original Bass Avi Kaplan until 2017) gifted super talented, hardworking artists, singers, performers. They are sooooo versatile. They cover such a variety of styles and do it masterfully. They also write originals. Enjoy the ride. 🤗

Awesome reaction! No auto tune for this group. It definitely is a capella. Please please please react to their Daft Punk Medley. It won them their first Grammy

I love your commentary! Watching people discover PTX is one of my favorite things🥰 I’d love to see what you think of one of their live videos. My favorites are Evolution of Ariana Grande and Gold.

No auto tune. Welcome to the world of Pentaholics! Great reaction!

Pentatonix almost always makes a song better. They don't use autotune. Not even live. My favs are Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Hope to see more!

You guys should check out Pentatonix Mad World. Just came out on Wednesday.

Welcome to PTX. Great reaction and I hope you’ll do more of their music. They have tons of material and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for posting. Subbed!

Shocked you hadn't heard Pentatonix. Their classic song is Bohemian Rhapsody. An extremely modern song that amazes is "Aha". Recommend you react to both of those.

Thanks for the reaction, I love to see new people discover pentatonix. Their name came from the pentatonic scale, they changed the c to an x. Please, more pentatonix reaction.

More pentatonix please!!!!!! Thx.

Any of the people in PTX (Including Kevin the beatboxer) are world class singers. The fact that they can layer, mesh, and step out of each other's way (vocally) so flawlessly makes them the Voltron of vocal groups to me.

More Pentatonix reactions, please! They are phenomenal! No autotune, no instruments (except for the beatboxer, Kevin, occasionally playing the cello and 2 songs featuring violinist Lindsey Stirling), and nothing on their videos that they can't reproduce live. I most highly recommend their covers of Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Daft Punk, along with their originals Love Again and Sing. All of those are with their original bass, Avi Kaplan, who is absolutely astonishing. For songs with Matt (the guy all the way to the left that you liked), choose Havana, Come Along, Happy Now, or their brand new one, Mad World. Welcome to the wonderful world of Pentatonix!

"I could listen to this all day" Laughing because I HAVE been listening to this all day! Love love love them so much!

OMG! You guys do not know what you have stumbled onto! They do an AMAZING cover of Hallelujah that you guys must check out. I have subscribed just to hear your reaction to it❣️. They also cover Bohemian Rhapsody and John Lennon’s Imagine as well as Daft Punk which they won a Grammy for. Can’t wait to see/hear you again!

PTX rocks and love hearing people discover them

Just a couple of guys named Simon and Garfunkel... As for PTX this was just the tip of the iceberg. PTX has great covers and great original songs too. 3 x Grammy winners.

All of these guys started out in an octave lower than they normally use (except the guy to the far left in the white jacket. He's normally their bass and goes clear to basso profundo.) The ending was more their normal octave. I wonder sometimes how people in the active music world have never even heard of Pentatonix when they've been around more than ten years and fill stadiums on world tours. Just a few days ago they released a new one, "Mad World", and it's stupendous. You'll thank yourself a lot if you give it a listen.

Subscribed for more Pentatonix!! They’re incredible! Loved the reaction!

I'm so here for more Pentatonix reactions. You should react to Their covers of Hallelujah, Imagine or Bohemian Rhapsody next.

So glad you did this reaction, can tell you had an appreciation for their a cappella skills. Hope you do more Pentatonix, your fan base will quadruple if you react to them often. They make an effort not to use any auto tune etc because they want their studio and live versions to sound the same. You ought to check out Hallelujah, it has over 550 million views or their newest release of Mad World that just chocked up over one million views in one day. Also, their Daft Punk Medley won them their first Grammy. Their Bohemian Rhapsody is awesome!

Love watching all reacts to 1st time ptx. Please do more reaction to Pentatonix (PTX) you shod listen to same song recorded and live. No difference. They are flipping amazing. Avi the baritone did go on his own Matt replaced he is incredible as well.

once i was showing one of my friends pentatonix, first time, never heard of them, and they were drinking starbucks, and scott's voice came on and they choked on their drink they were so surprised. now they are a really big pentaholic.

this is the magic of pentatonix for you.... a gift to the world

It always makes me so happy to watch people geek out over PTX for the first time

There's nothing in the world like hearing this live, 4th row from the stage...It was so incredible!!!

I'm all here for Pentatonix reactions. I just found y'all because I'm going down a Pentatonix worm hole right now😂

First Grammy award was for daft punk medely which really lets you hear Kevin's beatboxing also Hallelujah is amazing. If you want to hear Kevin's singing he's great in Imagine and Mary did you know.

And now you guys reacting PTX? Is this for real?! The longer I follow your uploads the more I realize that you guys basically reacting to my entire playlist! HAHAHA! 🥰😂

These guys are really underappreciated in the music industry. Kevin, the beat boxer, sings on some songs and even plays cello.

Loved your appreciation for each member's amazing voice, range, and power :)

They won their First Grammy with "Daft Punk - medley and they perform this Medley live . Please react to Pentatonix Daft Punk Medley

You should hear Hallelujah, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine and Radioactive, you will hear the incredible range and a couple of them were recorded when the original Bassist was still there Avi, HIS voice is incredible! Once you start listening to them you can’t stop

The song that first turned me on to this group is Say Something. I love your reactions and would love to hear you react to them singing that. Thanks guys.

Saw them in concert and it was AMAZING to see live💜🤍💜🎼🎵🎶💜🤍

Come on down the Pentatonix rabbit hole and join us Pentaholics.

I love them, sound of silence is my favorite one they do! Hope I can see them in concert Someday

Them: "That's low as f***!" Me: Oh... just you wait lol

No instruments, no autotune.

First of all, it IS a cappella, second, there is no Auto Tune. Other than that your first 15 sec. of the reaction has been spot on. Oh, never mind.

I cant get enough of reactions to this group. You guys have to see their cover of Mad World! You won't be disappointed.

you guys seem pretty cool :) I'd love for you to react to more PTX. and yes, they are acapella except for when Kevin the beatboxer plays cello and beatboxes at the same time. a few favs are Hallelujah, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk, Mad World, Evolution of Michael Jackson... but, everything they do is superb!

This sounds just as good live.

Alan, you are hysterical! Actually you are both so fun and funny to watch together. Glad I came across you recently!

PLEASE give us some more PTX reactions. I cannot wait to see your minds blown over their Daft Punk video. Welcome to the world of PTX reactions.!

"They made it their own." That's what they do. Every time! The percussionist guy is named Kevin Olusula, or KO. He joins in on the harmonies, and occasionally has a lead part. To hear all their voices, you need to check out "Mary, Did You Know?" or their latest, "Mad World." (But then again, I love their original songs, too. Check out "Happy Now" for a really great, danceable bop!)

Theres no auto tune just there voices

No vocal tuners just sheer Talent!

Check out their new video cover of Mad World

Welcome to the PTX family! 8 years of amazing music. You need to check out more music. They don’t use autotune and they sound as amazing live. Your favorite is Matt and he’s the new bass singer. He replaced Avi Kapla two years ago. Avi is another awesome bass singer as well. Once you start listening to PTX, I guarantee you cannot stop! Cheers.

They just dropped MAD WORLD, it's incredible. Also Daft Punk is their first Grammy, also a must see.

Great reaction 🔥🔥! If you plan on doing more PTX then start with the big hits, Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Or their Grammy winning song Daft Punk (a Daft Punk medley). 👍

(Cue Rod Serling voice) You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension of sight and sound and mind. At the signpost up ahead, your next stop, the Pentatonix rabbit hole! Great reaction, always fun to see new folks discover Pentatonix (PTX for short). You are going to be flooded by avid PTX fans (who call themselves Pentaholics) who love watching reactions. You will get many suggestions from their extensive catalog. Frankly, pick ANYTHING they do and you won’t be disappointed. A little background on PTX, of the five of them, three of them, the tall blonde guy, Scott Hoying (baritone), the young lady, Kirstin (or Kirstie) Maldonado (mezzo-soprano), and the guy with the dark hair and high voice, Mitch Grassi (counter-tenor), are originally from Arlington Texas and have known each other since childhood and sang together in high school. In 2011, NBC had a singing competition called “The Sing Off” where a-cappella groups competed against each other and one was eliminated each week. Scott wanted to compete, but they needed 5 people, so they met a fourth member, Avi Kaplan, a classically trained bass singer, through a friend and he joined (he is in many videos and has a beard, but personal reasons caused him to amicably leave the group in 2017). Before Avi left, he helped find his replacement, an equally talented base singer, Matt Sallee, who is in the current group in this video. That has been the only change in the lineup. If you begin to watch their earlier videos, you will barely recognize Mitch, he lost a lot of weight, and changes his look often, as does Kirstie. Scott discovered their fifth member, beatboxer/cellist/vocalist (tenor) Kevin Olusola, on KZfaq where he was “celloboxing” or beat boxing while playing the cello. Because of schedules, they didn’t meet until just a few days before the competition began, yet they went on to win the show. They won a recording contract as part of the show prize, but 2 weeks into it, the label dropped them feeling like an a-cappella group was not marketable. Refusing to be discouraged, PTX began a KZfaq channel and from that channel garnered millions of world-wide fans, went on to world tours, put out multiple albums, including wildly successful Christmas albums, hit the #1 spot on the Billboard chart, almost always in the top ten, and have to date won 3 Grammy Awards. They do all their own beats. No instruments are used with the exception of several videos where Kevin plays the cello and some collaborations with violinist Lindsey Sterling. They do not use multi-tracking, auto-tune or any studio tricks. Everything they have on video, they perform exactly the same live. All their Sing Off performances are on KZfaq, watching them will give you their story, and show you how they have evolved into, IMO, the best a-cappella group in the world right now. Welcome to the PTX experience.

Y’all need to watch Citizen Queen and their cover of No Tears Left To Cry. All girl acapella group. They’re so good!

Yes yes yes. More Pentatonix please!!!

Goosebumps every time!

Pentatonix (Acapella group) formed in 2011 to compete on The Sing-off. You can literally follow their career from inception. Also, Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix is a good video to start. If you like The Wizard of Oz, check out Todrick Hall's Wizard of Ahhhs featuring Pentatonix. It's ahhhmazing! Enjoy!

You should check out Kevin’s solo stuff, particularly ‘Down’ and ‘Sign of the times’

Scott (who is nominally their lead singer) has a crazy vocal range. When their bass is on lead (in this case, Matt), Scott takes the bass line. The beat-boxer Kevin rarely sings - but when he does, he takes tenor. Kirstie has always been good, but after a short time on Broadway, her voice and projection ability have radically improved. The short dark-haired guy is Mitch, who sings high tenor. If you want to see versatility, find their Daft Punk medley.

You've got a new subscriber 💜I came for dimash reaction but I'm staying for pentatonix reactions... Y'all they're crazy talented ... Please do more reactions of them... They're 3 times Grammy winner a capella group... Just quick intro - ptx was formed in 2011 The guy who started is Scott hoying he is baritone but can hit some pretty good bass notes and overall versatile singer. He has a range of 4octaves. Next is Mitch Grassi the second guy who sang he is a tenor with unbelievable range and can really high . He originally is countertenor with freaking 5 octaves .. The beatboxer / percussion guy is Kevin Olusula who is really great and sometimes when he sings his placement is tenor ... He has surprisingly good range since not been trained in singing.. he is a cello player and has made songs using beatboxing and playing cello calling it "celloboxing" he has released his own songs too might want to check them out The lady out there is Kirstie Maldonado who is mezzo soprano and has some killer vocals which have developed since doing Broadway and other stuff The last guy with white jacket is Matt . He is a new member who replaced the original bass guy. The original bass guy was - Avi Kaplan he is a musician, vocalist and a natural bass with 3 octave range . Please please please react to their stuff - Daft punk -(Grammy winning song) Bohemian rhapsody Hallelujah Say something Can't hold us Gold No Problem Cheerleader...

I had to watch you dudes react again. I like seeing other guys react... makes me know I'm not the only one incredibly effected by music.

Unless you can see an instrument on screen, there isn’t one being used. Have seen this live, if anything it sounds fuller, which 🤯 And DEF not pitch correction. Their natural pitch is mind boggling. Check out the live version of Hallelujah from their Christmas special, to really get a sense of how slick and flawless their natural sound and blend is.

Awesome reaction guys. Great compliments to the artist. It’s always one with great reaction that is animated and one that is serious. I have seen it so far with four duos. 😂😂

Welcome to the world of PTX. Hope you listen to more of their music.

They do not autotune. They only correct for sound level and timing. The beauty is they each have a distinct voice and style and the mix is amazing. There is so much to say but others will do that. You should react to the iconic songs 'Hallelujah', 'Imagine' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' next.

Great reaction!!! Thx!👍

Got to see Simon and Garfunkel do this live when I was in college - about fifty years ago.

I feel like even if the heavens spoke and the beauty of music itself had descended to touch my ear, I still wouldn’t feel as blessed as I do when I listen to these artist sing

Check out beginners guide to Pentatonix It will tell you their names and how the group got together 👍👍👍🙏🏻

No auto tune. They sound identical live.

Just found your channel, cuz of Pentatonix, huge fan. Great reaction, love your chemistry together. Just subscribed, hope you guys do more Pentatonix

10 minutes ago there was a live stream of Pentatonix (back in Texas?) collab with Little Glee Monster (Japan) for the First Take KZfaq channel

You should listen to their Daft Punk melody and Bohemian Rhapsody it has the original Bass Avi you will love him! But thanks for your reaction. Please keep them coming 🙏

This and Shallow are my favorite songs with the new PTX lineup! Kirsty is powerful on both!

It sounded almost exactly likr this live I saw them on their world tour at our local venue.

You guys rock. Watching all your stuff now 💖 More PTX please!!

love PTX pls do more reactions to them.

New to the channel, but just subbed and excited to see your journey down the PTX rabbit hole! Lol. It's a long one... 🤣🤣 Awesome reaction, and I'm excited to go watch some of your other videos now!

They are the Keepers of Acapella , that is getting rare these days. 2 of them were on the FBE channel reacting to Babymetal, and they said they should do a Babymetal cover. As far as I know they haven't done it yet. A bonus is that Su, Moa, and Yui reacted to their reaction! Both videos are still up on KZfaq. Song was written by Paul Simon and original recording was by Simon and Garfunkel, #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in Dec, 1965. Nice change of pace guys. Have you ordered your Morley 20/20 Wah pedals yet? Kanami seems to like them!

Woww,Hey guys !!! i see you have more than 10k !!!!!! 🤸🎉🎉🎆🍻🍾🎈super!!! And this guys, Pentatonix, they are amazing, super, cool !!! I love them so much! ❤️👏hug you

Great reaction, please react to more Pentatonix 😁😁🤞🏻🤞🏻
