Now that you have been introduced to Pentatonix, your life will never be the same!!

I absolutely love your reaction. The pure joy in your expressions are just heart wrenching.. Your eyes and your giggles are contageous. Just know you're not alone in the feelings you feel when your ears are blessed to be hearing these *ANGELS*. I adore them and cry when I listen to pretty much all of their songs.. Happy Listening!!

I will recommend all of their music that is just uplifting! Sing, Cheerleader, Gold, Royals, and so many more. I absolutely love Say Something, but it's an emotional one.

When I first watched this music video and heard them sing this song (it has meant a lot to me for many, many years as well), I was laying in a hospital bed, in severe pain from surgery I had earlier that day for kidney cancer. I couldn't sleep, I was in so much pain and so scared. But after seeing this, my tears turned to ones of joy and I was finally able to get some rest. Pentatonix helped me on my road to recovery. Almost two years later, I'm still cancer free and I share this story with every reactor I can. I also got to see PTX in concert last December and was able to share that story with them.

I've subscribed for Pentatonix. Get more tissues because this is the best rabbit hole you'll ever go down. Many Grammy awards, 6 billion streams on KZfaq. It's unreal and heaven sent.

This should’ve been their 4th Grammy.

I just love new reactors who discover PTX for the first time…..We the fans are known as Pentaholic’s. A fierce and loyal fan base. We will guide you down their over ten year rabbit hole. My first PTX song I heard from them was Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen. I’ve been hooked ever since….Enjoy your journey…….Judy D from NY State❤.

Don't apologise for tearing up. I suspect that all Pentaholics have cried listening to many of their songs. There is undeniably something supernatural that happens when these guys sing. Gestalt Psychology encompasses the thought that THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS. As you have commented: every one of these amazing vocalists are quite simply superb when they are doing solo parts. HOWEVER. when their voices blend it is like heaven itself opens and we get to bask in their God given talent. You need to listen to some of their live performances. They are just as amazing and it makes you realise that their brilliance is not down to studio effects.

I love how you are loving them!! We are enamored with each of them. Matt is the bass and he is incredible. I recommend tge 90s dance medley. Whole different vibe!! 🩷

Their beat boxer is an unbelievable talent. They all compliment each other..❤️🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for heading down this beautiful rabbit hole. For more inspirational songs, Imagine, Amazing Grace, and Prayers For This World. For fun, get up and dance songs, Sing, No Place I'd Rather Be, 90's Dance Medley. For impossible, knock your socks off songs, Bohemian Rhapsody, White Winter Hymnal, Carol of the Bells (otherwise known as 'Breathe Mitch!'), Daft Punk. For amazing live performances, 2016 Popspring mini concert, Joyful, Joyful, Creep (the final episode of The Masked Singer where they sing unmasked). For songs with Beyonce (Kevin's cello), Papaoutai, Say Something, Shallow, Radioactive This gives you a good, well rounded mix of their music.

Mitch is our alien angel...if you look closely you can see his wings on the back of his jacket in their version of "Amazing Grace".

When the Wall of Sound appears, I think you will really feel the music.

The band, HOME FREE does the same thing. ALL OF THE BACKGROUND Music is by their mouths. They're AMAZING!! You should really check out their song "My Church" and you'll see what I mean.

No Instruments, it's all their own voices and Kevin the beatboxer has a whole orchestra in his mouth!. Please react to Amazing Grace. :)

Check out " The Sound of Silence ", " The Little Drummer Boy ", " Shallow ", and " Blinding Lights "

Welcome to the rabbithole!! Their upgrades are amazing. Their originals are fire. Their concerts are fun fun fun. Really can't go wrong with anything of their's. Mitch is an angel, Kevin was given every drop of talent (his voice is best showcased so far in "amazing grace" and "imagine"), matt brings a blues bass to their sound reminescent of bb king era, kirstin is the voice i always wish i had, scott has so much versatility in his range, amazing control and a calming tone. Absolutely phenomenal group. Check out their upgrades of "imagine", "bohemian rhapsody", "shallow", and "radioactive". Their originals "sing" and "coffee in bed" bring me such happy vibes. Their grammy winning arrangment of "the dance of the sugar plum fairy" is a great example of their ability to rework any style and explode with it

So glad you have found the beauty of Pentatonix! You should check out Bohemian Rhapsody and Wizard of Ahhhs!

If you want to hear Matt, the guy in the checkered pants, listed to their cover of the Sound of Silence. It is EPIC.

Welcome down the Pentatonix rabbit hole. Prepare to be blown away with every song you here.

If you haven't already, you should check out their version of Amazing Grace. They do a spectacular job with that song as well.

Hi Aleks ...... thanks for reacting to this song. It's by far my favorite cover!!! So now you have to watch and react to their version of Amazing Grace!! Your goosebumps will have goosebumps!! 😆😍

Every time I see this video it takes my breath away.

Many of us Pentaholics were heartbroken that this song was not offered up for Grammy consideration.

I love how much you love them already! -A day doesn’t go by that I don’t listen to them, and I also was living under a rock until October of 2021 when I heard this very song….Clear your calendar because they have well over 300 songs to react to! I’d say start with Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk (Grammy winner), 90’s Dance Medley and Evolution of Michael Jackson for a variety. For their originals, start with Love Again, Coffee in Bed, Sing and Be My Eyes.

Pentatonix achieves a harmonic frequency that affects me in a positive way and energizes me. Every time.

Kevin is the best best boxer hands down. Plays a wicked cello too! Welcome, you’re going down the rabbit hole. Proud to be a Pentaholic.

This is considered by most to be their masterpiece. It’s definitely one of their best pieces for sure.

What a wonderful ride you are on with PTX! Love your reactions!

Isn't it great how music like this brings us together simply from our deep appreciation? Music should rule the world right now, eh?

Their beat-boxer's name is Kevin Olusola(commonly referred to as K.O.), and he does create all those sounds himself. If you want to see his recording of him doing music in real time just himself, check out either his cover of "Sign of the times" by Harry Styles or "Down" by Marion Hill. He Plays the Cello, Saxophone, speaks fluent Mandarin, and was Pre-Med at Yale.

SO GLAD YOU ENJOY THEM. TO ME THEY ARE EARTH ANGELS HEALING PEOPLE WITH THEIR VOICES! ❤❤❤

They have a member who does the rhythm and drums using his voice and body. Purists may argue that that's not true Acapella, but it adds so much!

With some of their later songs, you will hear some instruments, but their talented voices are still being heard. Kevin the beatboxer, does play the cello and beatbox at the same time, and in one song Scott, plays piano, Matt the newer bass, plays drums.

There is a live version of this song you can find where they performed on a local news Channel - If you really want to verify the authenticity of the Drums/Beatboxing, etc.. They are incredible!! For sure....

And where else would I be? It's Pentatonix so it's an upgrade as always. Can't wait to join you on this journey from an American pentaholic. Thank you for the video and commentary

Oh Come All Yea Faithful is great. do that now.

There is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift! *IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix* They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗💗💗

Absolutely love your reactions to Pentatonix! Keep them coming!!!

They have specifically been trained as acapella singers, learning how to create harmonies and sounds. Kevin, the beatboxer, is an extraordinarily talented musician. Their stylist is incredible, and you will see very fashion forward clothing - they all express their individuality with their clothing.

Well Mitch the lead here, and Scott the second singer and Kirsten all grew up together in Arlington Texas. So those 3 have known each other most of their lives,

Just so you know there are times they do use piano (Scott) or Cello (Kevin) but if they do they are clearly seen in the video. And when they do it's always an excellent addition. But most of their songs are acapella. And whatever they do is always the highest caliber. Thanks for taking us on your Pentatonix journey.

The two soloists on this are Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable), natural contratenor, and Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. Mitch has a range of just over six octaves and is considered by all the other members of Pentatonix to be the best singer in the band. He's known for his ethereal high vocals, and switches seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice. When describing a man's vocal range, the term "lyric" means that the actual range is greater than the nominal range. Scott's range starts in the middle of the bass range, on the low end, and extends through most of a normal tenor range on the high end. When the bass is soloing, Scott can and does take over the bass harmony line. According to everyone in Pentatonix, INCLUDING Scott, Scott is the member who is most likely to forget the lyrics, so of COURSE it turned out that his voice was most suited to sing Andrea Bocelli's part in "The Prayer." And no, he doesn't speak Italian; he had to learn this by rote, and he worked very hard to get the pronunciation right. The beatboxer is Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable). Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper. Kevin has perfect pitch. He began piano lessons at age 4, cello at age 6, and alto saxophone at age 10. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on saxophone and once on cello. He graduated from Yale in 2011 with a pre-med major and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional beatboxer instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place. Note that in this song Kevin is also providing some of the high harmonies. Kirstin (also called Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado, is the only woman in Pentatonix. Kirstie sings anywhere from low alto through coloratura soprano, the highest soprano range, and she has fantastic whistle notes on top of that. Recently Pentatonix has begun calling her an "alto soprano." Pentatonix has had two bass singers. Their first one was Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable) Kaplan, lyric bass. Avi is an operatically trained basso profundo (his lowest notes have blown out speakers in live performances), but his range extends to about the middle of a normal tenor range. Avi left Pentatonix in 2017, for a variety of personal reasons. He has since gone on to have a very successful solo career; I highly recommend subscribing to his KZfaq channel: youtube.com/@AviKaplanMusic If you watched the official video of "Hallelujah," Avi was the bass in that one. However, "The Prayer" is a more recent release, so in this video we have Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), who joined Pentatonix in late 2017 or early 2018, depending on how you figure it. Matt is another lyric bass. In addition to being the newest member of Pentatonix, Matt is also the youngest member, and I'm told that bass voices improve with age. So it's hard to be sure just what Matt's range is, because it's still growing. To find his current range I recommend listening to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah." You can find one here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNegm8uBxtbPn5c.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL Matt's arrangement of the second verse seems to be designed to show off his full range, and it will blow you away. I don't believe he's at the basso profundo level yet, though I expect him to reach it within a year or two. But on the high end he's near the top of a normal tenor range. In this video, when the camera shows all five of them, from left to right we see Kevin, Kirstie, Scott, Mitch, and Matt.

I know so many people have given you an idea of this group. Fans call themselves Pentaholics! The "trio" Kirsti - soprano, Mitch - contra tenor, and Scott - baritone, grew up together. They met as children and did musical theatre, went on to high school (texas) and sang as a trio in vocal music. Scott was in college at USC and found out about an a capella competition called the Sing Off. The show required a minimum of 5 people. They were introduced to Avi (original bass profundo) and then found Kevin on youtube as a beatboxer playing concert cello. After some persuasion he left Yale medical school and joined them in California to win their season of the show. Kevin also sings tenor beautifully. Avi opted to leave the group (some say it was a friendly parting but it was actually quite ugly!) and they held auditions for a new bass. Matt showed up knowing not just his part for the audition song but the bass part for all of their songs. He is classically trained and also plays drums and keyboards. They were wonderful with both bass singers.

It's always exciting to see the reactions of people who are just being introduced to PTX! Great job and thumbs up!

Exactly right! God brought them together and gave each of them the magnificent talents they each possess and we are all blessed by this brilliance and talent.

Their voices are their instruments. Love love love the Pentatoinx. See amazing grace. Beautiful

They are so unique, so talented, so refreshing, so professional. Giving joy.

I absolutely love 💕 your reaction! Bohemian Rhapsody please.

Amazing Grace will blow you away.

I just love your 2 reactions to them. So exciting. Can’t wait for you to do more!

Great reaction. Love Pentatonix. More please. 😂 You react to them and us Pentaholics will come to listen. ❤

Amazing grace is another masterclass from them

Watching truly joyful reactors as they discover Pentatonix is such a gift! Thank you for your enthusiasm and your willingness to let their brilliant music affect you. Keep the reactions coming!

This is so very beautiful! Welcome to the world of Pentatonix! Especially here with Christmas coming! They are the kings of Christmas! Their newest Christmas/Holiday album drops Oct 20th & their holiday concert tour starts soon after that! Enjoy! 💖

Thanks for such an exciting reaction. Good bios on the group by commenters. The bass Matt graduated grom Berklee College of Music and, as the rest of PTX, is quite a chameleon with his voice range and dynamics. Please react to Prayers for this World -- so PTX perfect for these times.

God knew you needed them now. Enjoy! God gave you a wonderful surprise!

They do a video for the making of evergreen. It shows some behind the scenes recording videos etc. it sheds some light into how they record and make the production so full using voices body percussion etc.

Definitely in my top 5 favorite songs from Pentatonix, they are all great but this is definitely is Mitch’s song and he will always be my favorite

I just saw them for the second time on Sept 14th. They are Phenomenal in concert.

They are soooo talented. Doing all this with their voices. No instruments. They’re as good in person. Some of my family members grew up with three of them.

One of my favorites!!! I only have about 200 favorites from them. Mitch is amazing in this. Their original songs are sooo underrated. Be My Eyes, Coffee in Bed and Love Again (people don't believe me that song is acapella) are a few of their originals to get you started. Welcome to the rabbit hole!

Mitch slapped first note!

Great reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Happy that you enjoyed it. I look forward to more Pentatonix reactions.

Admittedly there’s a lot of vocal layering in this video to achieve a full sound, but it’s all their voices. No instruments.

These guys are just fabulous. You can't help but to feel with them - don't have to apologize or 'keep the emotions in'! Recommend next checking out 'Bohemian Rhapsody', '90's Dance Medley', and 'Daft Punk'! :)

Amazing Grace, all PTX Christmas songs, Daft Punk Medley, Mary Did you Know, etc. PTX does not fail to amaze! They are the best in the world.

Great reaction! 😍 No matter how many times I hear this it's still so amazingly beautiful! 🥰

There were no musical instruments used here. However, they did use studio layering, stacking, reverb, etc to produce a fuller sound. PENTATONIX THE RECORDING OF EVERGREEN is a great video to watch to get an idea of how they do it.

Kevin Olusola, the beatboxer, is a music genius. He’s probably the best all around musician of the band. Recommend his cover of Down.

I’ve subscribed! I’m a true Pentaholic and I’ll be here for every reaction!! Get ready for a journey 😊🇨🇦

You need to listen to them sing Amazing Grace. It brings tears to my eyes just like The Prayer does . They are FANTASTIC!

The guy in the checkered pants is Matt, the bass. Kevin is a fantastic beatboxer - I've never heard better - but one of the reasons his "drums" have such a full sound is that Matt's bass is perfectly synchronized with Kevin's beatboxing.

That was a stellar reaction!!! I feel the love and send it back to you and yours! You are officially a Pentaholic now! Glad you're here. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

Face palm as soon as Mitch started, that's an instant like from me.😊 and yes Kevin is a beast, oh i love Matt also

I love your reactions so much! This arrangement is a masterpiece. Some good selections to experience Matt, the bass of the group, are "New Rules/Are You That Somebody," "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch," "90's Dance Medley," "Sound of Silence," and I really love his whole vibe in their cover of "Attention."

I love your reaction and the way you express your feelings on hearing them. It's exactly how they make me feel. They touch my soul. They ARE music.

Lol, welcome to the world of Pentatonix bro! You've just discovered gold!

Your reaction was that of pure joy!!!

You have to do amazing grace next. Its beautiful

Your reaction shows Pentatonix touched your soul! More beautiful songs for you to hear: Amazing Grace Mary Did You Know Enjoy & feel loved.

Pentatonix is best known for their Christmas albums. They have released a Christmas EP or album since 2012, and their fresh, creative arrangements of traditional carols, pop holiday songs and originals were an instant hit. But they built their career with a capella arrangements of current pop hits and later expanded to covers of pop hits from various decades and in many styles -- EDM, Broadway, Motown, K- and J-Pop, etc. Most of their albums include original songs, and they have two albums of almost all originals. The two songs you've reacted to so far are in a similar style, but they have lots of variety to choose from.

I haven't been disappointed by any of their songs 😊 ❤ dare you to find a bad one 😂

You will be happy to hear that ptx shares your reverence for God.

Matt (in the checkered pants on the far right) is the bass. He also has a beautiful singing voice and you never see him not smiling. He replaced Avi (the guy with the beard in Hallelujah). Matt joined the group in 2017. Found your channel through this video and loved your reaction. So another Pentaholic subscriber for you ☺️. Keep them coming, you won’t find one that you don’t love.

Love your reaction and your personality. New subscriber for your PTX reactions. They are THE GOAT of a capella. You can't go wrong with anything they do. Even if you hate the song, they will do the best version of that song you've ever heard. LOL. When you get to Christmas stuff, if you get to Christmas stuff, check out Oh Come All Ye Fathful, Little Drummer Boy, and Mary Did You Know, just to name a few.

Awesome reaction!

Beat boxing, my friend!

You can see how they did this if you were to watch their behind the scenes recording of their album Evergreen.

Subscribed for more from this absolutely stellar band! ❤

Such a great reaction..... .

I do love that 5 seconds you were immediately stressed out about how good it was 😂😂😂

Loved your reaction. Listen to Amazing Grace. Also amazing. Other of my faves Popspring, 2016 (live and 3 originals) Gold, Can’t Hold us, any of their evolution series, The Wizard of Ahhhs with Todrick Hall ft Pentatonix and the list goes on. Any of their Christmas albums (it’s not Christmas until Pentatonix says it’s Christmas).Enjoy the ride!!!

They’re great, aren’t they? Since you’re so in awe of how they do what they do, I’d recommend one of their “Evolution of…” videos. You can see what they can all do at once and in one take. I love Evolution of Michael Jackson, but they are all fantastic!

Recommend their 90s Dance Medley for a really fun performance.

You have to check out their version of Amazing Grace!!! ❤❤❤

Do yourself a favor, take a long time and watch this group. They are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything they do turns to gold.

Just checking in to welcome you to the family of Pentaholix, we are a robust bunch and we always look forward to sharing our daily addiction with everyone. Don’t feel pressured about pausing, we understand how ruthless KZfaq is about copyright, just go back 10 seconds or so. There’s only one rule, that you shall never interrupt Kirstie (sounds like first), unless she’s the featured singer. PTX is band that loves each other, and loves their fans in a very real sense. They always try to give a positive message, even if the song has a somber tone. I look forward to hearing more from you.

love your reactions to them. Another great great acapella group is Home Free and may I suggest your first song by them be Man of Constant Sorrow.

There are some very occasional numbers they have done with instruments. But its rare and they show it and it's usually Kevin with his cello.
