GUESS WHAT, SAUCEY DAD??!! YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ALREADY, BUT JUST IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T, WE FOUND OUT LAST NIGHT, SOME AWESOME NEWS- KIRSTIN & BEN ANNOUNCED THEY ARE EXPECTING A BABY GIRL!!! YAY!!!

They are ALL magnificent magical creatures but Scott is a BEAST 💖

Imagine leaving a member of the legendary Boyz II Men speechless. There's a reason we call him the first Pentaholic.

Did you see our post's in discord. Our Pentatonix Queen is having a princess!!!!

Just FYI-a Pentaholic checked-there was an increase in the birth rate 9 months after. 😂👍😂. So glad you are doing this. It only, in my opinion, gets better.

That reaction by the fellow in the balcong was like, "yep, it's over for the rest of us". The fans reaction was so crazy for this one that when they began touring they worked the performance into their act. They called it, "chair girl", and invited women on the stage to sing to them. Beyond a doubt, this particular performance with a woman named Dena is by far the funniest. Watch for enjoyment (or reaction). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrFddKpprMelhas.html

Ooooh, yes! My favourite! Hit's all the right spots. Scott Hoying! Avis suave bass, Mitches wawa, Kirstin holding it DOWN, Kevins perfect beat. All of their tiiiiight entrances and exits. They were sooooo gelled together. And I can't say it enough..... SCOTT HOYING!!

And that's why Scott is my favorite. 🤯

Scott's final run in that song is spine tingling.

I urge you to watch the final announcement of them winning. It’s very heart warming. Mitch and Kristie look so nervous and then watch the tape of them returning as special guest to season 4 of sing off and singing The change and progress of PTX. and their welcome back is epic

Here's a favorite. Fermata Nowhere - "The 12 Days of Christmas" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nrZ1iMxpyr6pdZs.html

I seriously can't wait for your reaction to "Dog Days are Over"!!! That's "The One" where Mitch slaps us all, and we just keep goin back for more!

She looks about 5 months so the little princess was there during the Evergreen Tour. I hope Kirstie was not to bothered by morning sickness. So happy for her and Ben. That girl is going to be so spoiled by her "uncles" and she will have a playmate with Kaia!

It’s also unbelievable how PTX formed right before the Sing Off and from the very beginning, how great they blended and how each strength shined…together 🎶🌈😊💕

Kirstin said in an interview that they went to the sing off for one last hurrah with her friends and has not stopped.

Ugh. Full body chills when Shawn stands up when Scott comes down stage... So so good

lol yes, they are listed under The trio sings Telephone and Firework

OK, now you need to search Pentatonix Chair girl and have a good laugh. They did it live in concert for a while and picked a girl from every show. Too funny!

My favorite performance from them on the show & love how Scott got down and dirty with it, perfection!!!

This one was the start of absolute wonderment. Yeah, sure, the other performances were good. But, in the next two we get to see the Pentatonix we all know and love. Especially performance 12. This one was all smooth, the next one is fun in a bottle, and the one after? Pure intensity. Just an FYI, brudda, my comments on performance 12 are going to be a bit longer than is typical, but I'll have information for you that I think you'll enjoy. See you in the next one!

This sealed the deal. That was just smokin'. I always wondered if Scott was supposed to grab the mic off the stand and move around. It was obvious he was feelin' it and he just had too. If he didn't he probably would have self-combusted. All of their performances were good to great and this one was probably my favorite. I am pretty sure that The Trio still has their videos posted. I think the most famous one is them doing Telephone by Lady Gaga.

RE: Where they would be today Mitch's dad wasn't going to let him go until he found out it was Scott (and Kirstie) who had asked him. He got a little emotional in the interview talking about how he sometimes thinks about that and what it would have done to Mitch's life if he had held him back.

So you've seen their original performance of this, now you can enjoy how it was done on tour with chair girls. There's a few but the one with Dena is THE BEST. It's fan footage so sound quality is not great but the singing is secondary to the antics. Thanks for the reactions☺️

More than 10 years later and I STILL get goosebumps from this one every time!!!!!!

Check out Kevin Olusola in "from the top" live at Carnegie Hall. He was 17 years old and yes, you can find The Trio before PTX on YT.

In their early concerts they would bring up an audience member, have her sit in a chair and then sing this to her. You have to see the one with Deena. She has been immortalized as "The BEST Chair Girl". She is so excited and has the band in stitches. It is hilarious. If you REALLY want to belly laugh, watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qb-JbJqYvNDUhWg.html

I think they call it it's a mind cramp...lol...ears and eye get confused.🤣🤣

This 10th performance was close to perfect. They were all in the zone.

I don’t remember finding the trio videos,but there are a lot of behind the scenes videos that I have watched. Also they said they pooledall the money they had the buy Kevin’s plane ticket for his audition!

R&B is Scott's favorite genre. This was a GRAND SLAM!. Yes they still exist just saw that one.

I have to say I did like your saying of sauceypentafries it goes well together haha 😄 great reaction thank you 😊

Yes, those early trio performances are still online. They're on Scotts channels :)

This performance was BRILLIANT! Scott got to be in his happy place, mellow R & B, Mitch slipped in that striking wa-wa (a precursor to the formal Mitch slap?), Kevin kept everyone in line with his solid percussion, Kirstie and Mitch were perfect back-up vocals and harmonies, just like Marvin had back in the day, and - possibly my favourite moment of the arrangement - watching Avi perform air base guitar. After this show, it was a race for second place for the other contestants. Pentatonix was clearly in the lead and could not be stopped. And yet, the best is still to come....

I've seen a lot of comments over the years labelling Sean as the (Original Pentaholic), and based upon his reactions and his reception of the group when they return the following year to perform, I think the description is apt.

Saucy PentaFries. Everytime I hear it makes me hungry😄

I freaking love Avi's airbass in this one! amazing! ❤️

And that is where I lost my mind and the ability to string cohesive sentences together over Scott. I admit it. Most of us have a teensy extra - soft spot for one of PTX and dear lord I LOVE them all. But Scott....... Yeah..... Scott Hoying 🗣️ + my ears = a blissful puddle of goo.

This is my favorite performance of theirs. It’s also when I KNEW that they were 🥇

If you have not already done so, I think you should check out "Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix." Some think there are too many spoilers, but I think this is the best way to learn who these talents really are and answers so many of your questions.

I am unable to stop laughing because your face when you're seriously vibing with PTX looks like you're suffering and having an awful time. XD Keep on keepin on dude you're clearly having a blast I just love that if I screenshotted you ppl would think you hated it.

Thanks for your reaction! I love going back into time and watching how talented they were already but seeing their growth at the same time. There are some great videos on You tube of all of them before Pentatonix. This performance reminded me of a terrific video on You Tube that Scott had posted on his My Space page when he was only 14 years old; he is playing piano and singing a very soulful cover of Ray Charles "Georgia". Some of my other favorites that you would love are Kevin Olusola "From The Top: Live from Carnegie Hall-2005; Kevin is a teenager still in High School and his saxophone performance and the interview afterward are amazing! Another must see video from Kevin is his "Julio"; this was one he posted in his dorm room at Yale after he had taken his final exams and was about to graduate pre-med and start medical school. Scott saw his performance of "Julio" and called him to audition with them for "Sing Off". Kevin was reluctant but Scott spent all the money he had at the time for Kevin's plane ticket and Kevin arrived late but just barely in time for the audition.

Love, love, it

This was great! Loved your reaction. Their are videos of them performing in high school. The trio does Telephone during an intermission of a school choir concert. It is awesome. They did that with Kevin and Avi for thei Sing Off audition. There is also a video of the whole group doing it also. I think it was a live performance somewhere. If you look up ptx Telephone they all pop up. Also, in case you haven’t heard yet, Kirstie and her boyfriend announced today they are having a baby girl. There is a video of them announcing it. The whole gang is there.

Hello Saucey Dad, Just loving this PTX Sing Off journey with you. They look so sharp in those coordinated outfits, with the colours matching the backdrop too! They all were singing with such passion as they always do, but for sure Scott established himself as the King of Riffing. So glad the judges recognized the contribution of Mitch with the vocal sounds at the beginning, because that is one of his talents - Mitch is not only a superb singer but an strong vocalist that can do amazing sounds with his vocal cords. Just love how professional they all are pushing themselves further and further each time. Looking forward to #11 and #12.

So EXCITED for episode #12!!! I rewatch it often.

I think this is one of the best they did in the competition! Great reaction to this episode! Thanks for all the humor and faces. They always make my day! I love going back with reactors to the beginning and watching where they came from! Thanks for the blasts from the past!

"And we'll find out soon if Pentatonix will move ahead to the next round." C'mon, Nick! #12 is my favorite, but after this one, #10, I don't think anyone had any doubt that Pentatonix was moving ahead to the next round. This one time, more than any other, Nick could have just told the audience to tune in to the next episode for more Pentatonix. Who does he think he's kidding?

I think they had already won by this point, in all but name. I don't understand why this show didn't survive while shows like American Idol did.

Had they been bounced before the finale and went their separate ways rather than taking Pentatonix forward, I'm guessing that it might have gone something like this: Scott: With his drive and ambition, he would have found a place somewhere in the music field. He had developed a lot of connections (Ben Bram among others) during his time in college. Kirstie: Probably would have returned to school (Oklahoma) where she was majoring in musical theater. I'm guessing she would have had a career on Broadway by now. Mitch: Getting over his self-confidence and shyness issues would be his biggest hurdle, and without his BFF's close at hand as a support system, who knows if he would have been able to overcome that. Clearly his talent is world class, so I would hope that he would have found a way. Probably as a musical theater performer. Avi: Another world class talent, with some connections already established. He would have probably either found his way into opera (he had an offer to join an opera company that he passed on to go with PTX) or follow his passion into the country/folk/indie genre. He would have made it, as he has proven after leaving Pentatonix. Kevin: Would probably have returned to medical school and would by now be a doctor, and with his missionary history, most likely involved with a group like "Doctors without borders". I'm so glad we got to see them succeed as Pentatonix and enjoy them these past 10 years, and hopefully for many more to come, but they would almost certainly have found success somehow, regardless.

Never heard the hf version but keep in mind that this PTX version was first!

You wanna see a pre PTX video? Try Kevin, Carnegie Hall Sr. Year "From the top" on saxophone. Not cello, not bboxes, not vocals, saxophone. J.

Great reaction Saucey Dad! Waiting on the next Sing-off reaction! Loving being on the Ptx journey with you & the Saucey Fam!!!

OK, OK, I'll stay, lol, love your reactions!

This was the moment the rest of the groups realized they were competing for 2nd place. LOL 😆

So fun watching you getting to the "Holy Shit!" Episodes! Btw, Got my Son of a Mitch shirt yesterday! Yay!

Heeeeeee!!!! I'm so excited to see your reaction to this one! Heeeeeee!

This was the last performance of the evening, because the producers just knew that no one could follow that!

Yea, after that performance they weren't getting voted off of anything! lol

Congrats on 1 million views!

If you didn’t know already, #12 is the last of the competition. The performances after 12 did not count as to who would win.

I can imagine the decision part at the judges table..."ok, other than PTX..who are we putting through"

I love them all, but this one was my favorite.

Now you have to see the live version they do on tour with a girl from the audience.

Yes, look for the Trio

HELLO SD! 🙈 OMG 12th performance its coming, so excited!!🤣🤣🤣 SD in 12th performance try Not to stop the video🙊

Did you see? Kirsty announced today that she’s pregnant!

This is my fav performance from Scott, honestly!!!! And…in news…Kirstin and hee partner are expecting a baby girl!!! I teared up when I saw it on her insta❤️❤️.

This is the one!

FYI - Kristen just announced that she is pregnant 🍼

Saucey Dad, I am loving your PTX reactions. You give me reason to smile continuously and laugh out loud on a regular basis. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos and please don't stop.

Amen to everything that you said. I can't imagine my life without them. How sad would that be. Thank you so much.

Avi’s flashing me back to Bob Denver as Maynard (?) on “Dobie Gillis!”

My Favorite

That badass bass! AVI!!! 🤘🔥💜

Yes! I've been waiting for you to get this one.

This was the one where I knew. They hit their stride here, and just nailed the rest of the competition.

I know there is some story about their "recording contract". Like they only supported Pentatonix for a year. Pentatonix had to grow all by itself on KZfaq. Thus they love their fans! I know more people know more about this story than I do.

You had your eyes closed when Scott GOT DOWN! Go back to where he took the mic off the stand and watch.

You can find a video of Avi singing in high school, I forget what Christmas song, using the same guitar he uses now. There are also videos of him singing with his college choir. I would link the videos but I don't know how.

Loving how fast you're getting through these! Hope your appt went well.

At this time, Scott and Kirstie had already left Arlington for Colleges and Mitch was just due to. So, having been at school together from being tweenies, they would be scattered if not for The Sing Off. And they had recruited Avi and Kevin from wherever. There's a video of the Trio singing Gaga's 'Telephone'. just while the choir fill up the sets at their school concet, and it's astonishing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpiIdbCIt7GYfas.html

Not sure anyone mentioned in the comments (sorry lazy to read all through 🙃) but they did this song on the next few tours with "audience participation" 😏 namely, they brought up someone on stage sit them down (chair girl😏) and sing it to her 😁 there are a few compilations of it, or like "best chair girl Dina" or something like this and all pretty hilarious, as now you also know a bit better the artistic direction Avi took 😁😁

This is so amazing

Don't forget the two final performance

Actually while PTX was obviously innovative and good, there were other groups that were also good. So it may not have been so obvious during the show that PTX would win. We’ve all seen reality TV shows where someone goes home that we are surprised at. Completion shows where the 2nd or3rd place winner goes on to be more successful than the winner. Example, Scott Hoying was on a kids version of Star Search and lost (you can find that video somewhere online Scott Hoying Starsearch January 2004) and no one has ever heard of the winner. Hindsight is 20 20.

When you are through with PTX, you do know Home Free won this the next year right?? journey tie as well?? maybe? Definitely a saucey pentafry lol.

One thing I have noticed, just an observation not a judgment, other groups follow ptx and cover the songs they do. Just saying. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

❤❤

❤️🙌🙌

I can't watch any of the other groups because Pentatonix is so good it makes the others sound like a kindergarten concert

I have two songs that will rock your world. The first is Valhalla Calling featuring Peyton Parish from Assasins Creed, and Battle Cry also by Peyton Parrish

Ok it’s definitely worth checking out a live performance of this when they used to sing it on tour in 2014& 2015. They would bring someone up on stage and basically chair dance on her. Let’s just. Say. Avi gets a little too into it. Some chair girls are better or more entertaining than others. One of the best reactions came from Dena. Look up Best pentatonix chair girl chicago theater. 3.8.15

Just waiting for you to see number 12......

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNCeost5q9jGgpc.html Here is a link that has many of the early clips in it along with even rarer ones of the trio. Enjoy 🤗. Hope all went well at the dentist for you.

🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
