👉👉Don't get confused! They are talking about the "recording" of the songs NOT the recording of the "videos"!! Evergreen is the name of the Album! These are just "some" of the songs from that album! They NORMALLY record the songs separately at different times and the engineer puts them together! THIS TIME they all got together to record the songs due to time constraints! RECORDING THE VIDEOS is a different process! And other than the music videos they recorded during "lockdown" where they all stayed in their homes, they are ALWAYS together and glamed up for the MUSIC VIDEOS! this you just watched is just tiny glimpse of the process of recording/arranging the songs for the album!!

I don’t know if anyone has told you but Kirstie (and PTX) just announced that she and her boyfriend Ben are expecting a child. A girl 💕. So happy for her! Oh and this short film (Evergreen) is actually directed by Ben, Kirstie’s boyfriend.

I like how in "River" Mitch says to Scott we should switch parts on this spot and he says yeah ok. Such collaboration also bouncing ideas off each other and getting input from Matt and Kevin who aren't singing that part. Also when they listen to "The Prayer" Kirstie is so excited at the end says that's so good they are all so excited with the end result. They are so supportive of each other yet open to constructive criticism. Work as a unit. What a team. 💜

At the concert they split the audience into 5 groups for “I Saw Three Ships” and each group had a different sound effect to make. We were in Kevin’s group!

When they were listening to The Prayer Mitch said "sing" not "thanks". He was complimenting Kirstin's belting there, not celebrating his own 😅

I have to say this again ... You are the MOST appreciative and caring reactor to Pentatonix on you-tube. I don't think PTX could have a more appreciative fan. Very impressive.

This wasn't for recording the videos! This was just for the album! The videos came afterwards & on top of this! Album was done in 2 WEEKS & videos were all done before the tour started in November! They are amazing! 💕

There is the old saying that you should never watch the sausage being made. This has the exact opposite effect. I agree with you that it shows not just what brilliant singers they are but true craftsmen.

The stars aligned when PTX came together as a group. I love how each member contributes their ideas and mutual respect all around. I’ve watched this several times and find the process so fascinating. I just wish it was three times as long. 😉 Thanks D!

I love how everyone is free to give input during the recording and arranging and I love how everyone respects everyone's opinion and are open to try the suggestion to see if it works. Great teamwork. The entire "Evergreen" album is amazing. You should definitely listen to it and watch the available videos of the songs from the album.

I've worked in choirs and with a singing group...and yes...this is how they work, how much they work and how they'll repeat a phrase or set of notes over and over until they have it exactly as the choir master or group leader wants it. It's a bit tedious, but you do it because you want the choir or group to sound their best and for yourself to be your best. It's worth it in the end to see the faces of those who hear your songs and their joy and appreciation of the music.

The “N’earth” is a technique used in choirs since trying to get each of word ‘on’ and ‘earth’ enunciated - try saying it yourself and you will find you spend to blend the two words,

All of that work for those three part harmonies. The detail, the timing, everything.....all for background harmonies. You really have to listen closely to hear them. The attention to detail is amazing. The respect and admiration for the talents of each other is really wonderful to see.

Yes! You definitely need to do I Saw Three Ships. It is one of my favorites. Just remember, PTX fans listen to their Christmas songs year round. 😊

Kirsties Pregnancy announcements on PTX News are all so cute. Wow. Such great news

Seeing this shows each member gives each other mad respect!

This illustrates exactly why all 5 of them receive the receive official credit for the arrangements-it's a very equal collaborative effort.

That last one is my favorite on the album next to "The Prayer"

Not to worry my friend PTX fans will listen to their Christmas music ALL YEAR long🥰🎄❄☃

You should react to the behind the scenes of Bohemian Rhapsody. I love all these. I'm glad you're reacting to them

'Leave the ego at the door' seems to be their operating mode. Since you seem to really enjoy the recording of their music, I wish you might check out their filming of World Tour 2019. I would love for you to react to episodes 0, 1, and 2, at least. Their rehearsals and choreography are great. Please!

It’s awesome that they share the behind the scenes!! Love seeing their process!! 🥰

They are Perfection because they are such perfectionist!!! And of course their amazing talent!

I just need to say that I have watched hundreds of reaction to PTX. You are the best. You understand they are more than voices. They are cooperative production by people who care about and respect each other. And on top of that, they love what they do. And you seem to understand that all of that together makes them great. So often reviews are "oh what fabulous voices" and of course that is true but they are so much more than that. Thank you for doing this for all of us Pentataholics to enjoy.

Ben Bram, at the piano, is their co-arranger. They met him 11 years ago. Scott met him in college before "The Sing Off". You are right...they are VERY HUMBLE! They are like best friends, but they don't have to live together. I'm sure that helps. When Matt suggested they make that part "breathier and quieter", which the band liked, just remember, he graduated from a music college. The others have much less music training past the first year of college. The director of this video, Ben Hausdorff, is Kirstin's boyfriend. He and Kirstin have been living together for years. ANNNNNDDDDD. She is pregnant! Woo hooo!!!

Yes, Mitch has lots of tats. His upper left arm was covered but he had them all blacked out because the artist was accused of sex crimes.

♥ Best part of my day is waking up to your PTX reactions. Worst part is knowing my day peaked at 5AM. lol I knew you'd appreciate this mini documentary.

If they're still available, the videos from the special they did on the BYU t.v. shows a good number of these songs. Plus, if you can find a live version of I Saw Three Ships from their tour, that would be fun to watch to see how they directed the audience to follow along. I was in Kirstie's group, but wished I'd been in Kevin's. He had the most fun part.

I saw three ships was my favorite from this album! ❤️🎄 Evergreen was also so good and very heartfelt!

Thanks...now I have to go back and listen to all these again!!! (Not a problem lol!!!) Bought the album...loved every song. This was so enriching to watch. They currently have 4.5 hours of Christmas music...😮 Getting to watch their concert this year was a pure joy and seeing this just makes them even more amazing to me!!!

And that's just for a recording. When doing a life version of a song, that has percussions, beatboxing and Kevin singing, it can even be more complicated to coordinate, because who is beatboxing while Kevin is singing? It amazes me how versatile they are and how much they can fill in or cover for each other.

Who cares if it’s March- you should just react to I Saw Three Ships now!! It’s just 🔥!!!

Enjoyed this so much! Thanks for reacting to this! Great comments, agree with you 100%!

Putting breath onto the end means to soften up what is being said and easing out of it. It allows it to be softer in sound . With her flipping up (going up several notes in close succession) it helps to ease that transition for her as well to do that. It also allows the other 2 to keep the balance with what they are singing. So with all 3 it works to maintain that harmony even more

Recommend their Rather Be, Love Me When I Don’t, and Happy Now.

Love your reaction! They work so well together and continues to amaze me.

They always have to rehearse everything for their live shows with variations to figure out what will project best to a large arena for example. The different sounds they do with their bodies for rhythm.

5 best friends with ego control and who have life in perspective. Balance is key. Also “over” is a word lol! You got a new subscriber for your realness.

I was cracking up at your comments because you said everything I said. 🤣 🤣🤣 Loved your reaction.

I love how much they respect each others ideas

You should also watch “On My Way Home”. It is a full length feature following their 2015(?) tour, when they really started playing bigger venues. It will give you an even bigger appreciation for their work ethic and how well they get along. During the tour they were also recording their parts for an upcoming album in a mini recording booth on the tour bus, so they hardly had any down time. Avi talks about this and how hard it is for him personally to not to be able to see family (mom was having cancer treatments at the time, I believe) or friends. Kinda foreshadowing his reasons for leaving at the beginning of 2017 😢 This is toward the end of the video and leads into their performance of Standing By,, a favorite of mine, and all the more poignant for Avi’s commentary. It is available for rental or purchase on You Tube. It’s probably too long for you to do a reaction, but I do think you, as a fellow Pentaholic, would appreciate it! Love your reactions, as I’ve said in a previous comment!

They didn't do videos for all of these. There are a lot of live TV versions instead, most easy to find on KZfaq. Kirstie having a kid will probably stop their touring for three or four years, but I wonder if they'll double down on albums instead. Or TV specials (it's a shame they seem to have parted ways with NBC though--last year they had to use a Mormon streaming service, and none of them are Mormon, instead!) The collaborative process here with them all together here seems so much better than separate recording. It puts THEM more in charge rather than the producer, even though their producer is one of the best in existence. This is how they arranged things when they were on The Sing-Off. And I think we all know how well that worked out.

I love Kevin 😂 "I don't want to beatbox - kssshh-kssshh kssshh-kssshh" & he's ready xD (of course I understand the artistic choice tsjustfunney 😊)

G'day D. You can get some more behind the scenes of some Pentatonix music videos with Fifgen films. Bohemian Rhapsody, Can't hold us, Radioactive and Save the World/don't worry child are the ones I know. Not sure of others

It's always Christmas time when it comes to PTX! when they say it's Christmas, it's Christmas lol

You still need to check out Havana....and for good Kirstin parts there Shallow, Seasons of Love & Say Something

I waited sooooo long for you to hear this!! I knew, once you watched it, your mind would be blew on how they create!!! And I love how they praise each other “wow that sounded great” or “you should do this”. They actually get goosebumps too!!

I watched this when it first came out, just the PTX video, not a reaction. It was very interesting, but much more so listening to it again with you! Thanks so much for sharing your reactions with us and please keep them coming for a Long, Long Time! 💕

Love your reactions s to PtX

No need to wait for Christmas , do some now !!

This is so great. Thank you

I Saw Three Ships is awesome. You don’t need to wait until PTXmas ‘22 to check it out! 😉

I knew you’d love and appreciate this!! I think you should do a special “Christmas in March” and react to “I Saw Three Ships”..I think it’s only audio though, no video. But it’s SO WORTH IT.

Thanks so much for reacting to their work behind the scenes of the Evergreen album. I have really enjoyed your covering PTX. It has been so much fun watching your videos!

Your next reaction should be: "I saw three ships". It's so great!

You should try out ptxperience from their tours behind the scenes all sorts of stuff tour bus etc get to know them while they tour they are really good and lots of them to react too, ps love watching your reactions to pentatonix

Told you! It really shows you what they go through…

Thanks for that. I really enjoyed it.

They were saying they usually record their vocals individually not the videos. The videos u are referring to are the ones they had to record separate videos and put them together because of the pandemic.

Check out the I Saw Three Ships performance from the BYU Christmas special. It was a great performance

Amazing

FYI - Kristen just announced that she is pregnant!

I was in "performance" in college.....seeing this makes you appreciate what goes on before the "audience" sees/hears things eh

The songs are recorded individually for the master, then when they put the videos together, it's lip sync'd and the master is placed over it.

You want a GREAT TREAT...react to Pentatonix singing live in concert their "I Saw Three Ships" from Evergreen. Check it out as it was preformed with Cello (Kevin); Drums (Matt), Piano (Scott), and, of course, Mitch and Kirstie singing.... SIMPLY AMAZING !!! CORRECTION...CORRECTION !! I should have referred to "Over the River", not "I Saw Three Ships"

I think you missed at the beginning they did the whole album in two weeks. I love that you did this. By the way when they were all listening to the prayer and Kirstie belted "up above" Mitch said "sing" meaning that was awesome.

I love you Mitch Grassi I love you Scott Hoying I love you Matt Sallee I love you Kevin Olusola Pentatonix The Recording of Evergreen Reaction the work ethic though!!!!! omg Erin loodworth

They totally changed Over the River, didn't they?

They are actually all humble but I saw one interview when asked which one had changed the most due to their fame Mitch said "oh definitely me. I'm such a bitch."

Love your reactions but (and sorry if this has been covered in past videos) your sound always has a low rumble in the background, like there is some HVAC equipment running nearby. Is there some way you can move or shield your recording equipment to eliminate that?

Please react to I Saw Three Ships. We won't mind if you do a Christmas song in March.

Have you reacted to Avi solo music. You should really do that. He is so good. I would like to hear what you think about solo stuff.

Please check out Behind the scenes of Making The Prayer Bohemian Rapsody Ninja Turtles Most other videos👍👍👍🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's only since the pandemic.

Pleace cek "pawang hujan mandalika moto gp"😍😍😍 We love you,from indonesia....🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩

Royalty of dissonance..Slightly off key in the best since.Makes ya go WTF,THERES SO MANY PLACES TO GO.AND THEY go where ever they want.PERFECTLY!

I'd like very much, if you could try put the computer of yours down on the floor, it makes a resonance that is so - SO - anoying! It disturbes the fun of following your reactions ...

They were saying they usually record their vocals individually not the videos. The videos u are referring to are the ones they had to record separate videos and put them together because of the pandemic.
