I'm so glad you stopped to mention Kevin. What he does is called "celloboxing."

Kirstin is unique in that she doesn't simply sing, or interpret a song she "performs" the song as if the song itself is a character that she needs to bring to life. I attribute this to her deep connection to musical theater where the songs are part of the characters. You can see this in her body language and facial expressions when she sings. She becomes the song.

I think Kirstie's voice has gotten deeper and richer over the years since the sing-off. I think she has improved vocally the most. I liked her before - I LOVE her now! Another thing I love about Pentatonix is how deeply they immerse themselves into the songs they do. The songs are shown on their faces. Even if you couldn't understand the language, I think you would understand the song just by watching them.

You reacting to pentatonix is one of my favorite things

Kristin's voice has become so much fuller now that she's not trying to reach too high.I like this one even better than Gaga's

2:08 that “fOoOor change” was so beautiful! Kirstin’s vocal has matured so much so powerful and the “Bad Romance” riff 😩 to 3:47 Mitch’s “oOooh” my personal favourite his angelic voice gives me chills!! You can see how much passion him and Kirstie put into singing but it’s still so effortless

I honestly cannot tell you how much i love this song. from Kevin's cello to Kirstin and Scott's solos to Mitch riffing like the worlds gonna end to the sleek video that's black and white but with the flashes of gold and just everything. Ugh t's SO good

Scott has such a rich and warm tone. Love Mitch's "for change". Kirstin's "cry" adds such an emotional depth. Love that Scott and Kirstin are singing to each other. Mitch has a great run there at 2:25 and then a great punch at the end of it. That's pure power. And of course Kevin's chelloboxing and Matt laying down a great solid bass for everyone to build on. PURE MASTERY !!! Love it.

It was Kevin's ability to Cello-Box (as he coined it) that got him the PTX gig in the first place. And, let's be honest, Kirstie and Scott blew Gaga and Bradley out of the water with this one! The chemistry between them is still very palpable. I guess that's what can happen between life-long friends.

Could you react to Pentatonix's Come Along? In my opinion, it's nothing short of spectacular!!! 😍😍

Kevin’s Celloboxing is what got him to PTX lmao Scott found him on the internet doing just that and then he knew Kevin was the beatboxer they needed

Thank you for reacting to Pentatomix. Best group ever

I'm dying to see you react to their cover of Can't Help Falling in Love. The dissonance is breathtaking and Mitch's voice is stunning and smooth.

I love how much you appreciate them (and so many others), but also never fail to use them to teach those little things that your students (us) need to learn. Deep respect for being able to enjoy so much while still keeping your head in the game.

One of my favorite PTX covers ever! Thank you so muchhh

You should have heard this LIVE😍😍😍 literally breathtakingly gorgeous in person!!

YES I love this cover

*The* best a capella group, for sure! ❤️❤️

YAAASSS! I’ve been waiting and wanting a PTX react for so long! Thank you! Now, off to actually watch it, lol.

I soo love how much you break it down and let us know exactly what it is. And yes I noticed Kevin and I was like wow this guy is beyond talented. The whole group is amazing. Thank you

There has never been a single note from Pentatonix I haven't been wildly in love with😍😍😍

Hello Tara since you've reviewed Waving through a window cover by Pentatonix and you are a Broadway geek I can not wait to see you react to BEN PLATT

The Bad Romance callback was split with a pause😭 Still, great reaction!

Love this song by her! She is so sensitive to the song. Gorgeous!

Omgg I love this. They are so amazingg!! Kevin is so underrated sometimes, he is extremely talented! I sometimes wish I could be in an a capella club or group just to have a chance of having those amazing harmonies. They are just so awesome. 😁🤣🥰

The studio version is killer but you’ve got to see a video of them performing this on tour last year, it’s really impressive

I always love when you react to Pentatonix. Love your channel Tara.

I love watching you react to Pentatonix😍

Love this song and they sang it exquisitely. Adore the cello!! Standing ovation !!!!

I am always amazed at how talented you are Tara, ....wow. God bless you

Every single one of them is uber-talented!

Can you react to Pentatonix - Say Something? It's an unbelievable arrangement and you would love it!!

I can't believe you didn't notice the riff from bad romance I listened to that part over and over again nonstop it was just a really smooth transition

Omg that is rightfully awesome! I'm really enjoying your love of the music world in its entirety Tara, I learn from every video that you respond to. The complexities of the vocalizations are astounding to me. This puts me in mind of Big Band Music and how the scoring of each individual instrument is the presentation of popular music in that era. Thanks for pointing out the nuances of not only the cello/beatbox talent but also throughout your tutorial I have a better sense of purpose within the presentational process than I have in my past experience, totally makes a great impression of the importance instilled by the individuality and creativity that enhances my relating with individual artists! So impactful... 🙂

One of their very best. And completely amazing.

Hi, Tara, thanks for covering this. I loved this song when Gaga and Bradley Cooper did it in the movie and I love this possibly more. KO melts me when he plays the cello, Scott is his smooth, rich self and Kirsti really brings her sultry, smoldering best to the table. I love the way Mitch, Matt and Kevin take the forefront in the bridge (I think everyone would miss Mitch especially if he didn't get a moment); the arrangement (and execution) are stellar as usual - are we getting spoiled? When you get a chance, knowing how much you prefer live performances I would like to suggest a listen to PTX cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" - it has a setup that reminds me of their live version of Silent Night, just in a sort of industrial setting rather than a church. Continued success and all the best!

they give me shivers everytime! again, i love hearing you analyze them like I do Bands and orchestras

You're singing is totally necessary! Kristin nailed it!

I know this is from over a year ago, but was it only me that noticed how they added a small part of bad romance in this song, towards the end🤩

Pls react to Mary Did You Know - Pentatonix!! Keep up the amazing content!!!

I can't even make a sandwich and tell a story at the same time and Kevin over here playing an instrument and beatboxing at the same time. Heavy talent!

Kevin plays multiple instruments AND makes instrumental sounds with his beatboxing AND he can sing so lovely WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO

Kirstin has such a lovely voice 💕 and kevin is a beastttttt.

I’m so like you I love strings, I played the violin most of my life and I’m forever obsessed (and with pentatonix) 🥰

NOOO YOU MISSED THE BAD ROMANCE MOMENT! haha I love that little touch! You make me appreciate Kirstin even more (never thought that would be possible!) I would loooove to hear what you have to say about Marc Martel! He's got some pretty neat Queen covers ;)

I love your reactions every time!❤️

(Edited for spelling) That "Bad Romance" riff homage to Lady Gaga always sends me! Such a great arrangement of this song. 💕

My bf was talking about how Kev was beat-boxing and playing the cello and literally 20sec later @Tara paused and mentioned how she was impressed about it. Just kind of awesome how that happened! Love you Tara and love your reaction videos!

This is the only channel that provides this much detail when reacting. Great.

Me: haha Kevin is beatboxing while playing the cello! Tara pauses the video: did anyone notice Kevin is beatboxing while playing the cello?!

Love that you mention kevin. He's so often overlooked on these reaction videos. Definitely a deciding factor in my subscribing. Really enjoying your videos.

Hallelujah :P It was time you did this reaction!

I've mentioned it before, but I'll recommend it again - please react to their version of "Imagine". It's even more relevant these days...

Always Love watching your videos. Thank you.

Love that outfit you look so gorgeous in it. You really have a great reaction. I 💘 love what you do.

Omg, paused just in the middle of Bad Romance reference, i was just waiting to see your chills, and it got split, but the reaction was beyond amazing

You can’t get any better or more beautiful than that. 🌹

You are one of my favorite reactors! Thanks for the great reaction and insight as always. Please keep reacting to PTX. I am hoping you haven't reacted to more because you are busy and not because you have watched a bunch of the videos offline. If you aren't watching them alone then you have only scratched the surface still! Thanks for all the entertainment so far!!

Love PTX. Found them by accident a few years ago while looking for another accapella group! Haven’t heard that one before. My introduction to them their cover of Radioactive.

i saw the thumbnail and literally jumped im excited!!

Really think you should react to Say Something, the cover that PTX did. Kirstin's lead is sososo amazing and it also includes more of Kevin's cello + beatboxing (celloboxing) as it's called. It's one of my absolute favorite covers!

How do three friends find each other in high school who all sing beautiful and stay friends forever without judging who they are .??? That's unique.in it self.

Chills, literal chills

Thank you for the PTX fix, Tara🥰 Much appreciated❣️

Your way behind on Pentatonix songs 😂 I’d love your reactions on more PTX, please! ❤

All of there songs give me shivers every time

I have been watching Pentatonix since they competed in the Sing Off show.

I love your reactions! Unfortunately, my voice journey is a dead end. My voice is HORRIBLE! I have so much respect foe musicians and singers. I love music, but it's like a totally foreign language to me. I wish I was part of the "gang." Even you couldn't help me. 😢 So happy to listen and enjoy music, it really is the universal language!

They sounded great! Their blend is beautiful. Thank you for your reaction to this video Tara Simon! Please react to Kymberli Joye singing Tasha Cobbs song Break Every Chain on The Voice. I believe you will love it! Thanks! God bless you.

Uuuuuf 😍😍😍 Their hallelujah cover was AMAZING but this is EVEN MORE AMAZING 😍😍🌻

It really is beautiful. 💖

i am pretty convinced,that every song those guys take,,,,at the end it always sounds better then the original!

I hope you make a lot reaction for Pentatonix, Citizen Queen and Acapop Kids 😔😔😔

thank you for reacting to this!! can you please react to acapop kids on the kelly clarkson show?

Excellent version as Always

Hiii your are blessed with a voice

Loved this!!! You should react to Cimorelli's cover of "Shallow"!!! It's amaazing ☺️

Love it ♡

You missed the “Bad Romance” transition!

I have been wanting her to react to this song so bad!!!!!! Yay!!!

💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃,WOW,So blown away

I just randomly looked up "ptx shallow reaction" to watch someone react and i was like "hmm.. how come i didnt know Tara did this one", and it said 12 hours ago. What a pleasant surprise! :)

I'd love to see you react to Pentatonix Daft Punk or Love Again- two old classics with official videos I think you'd really enjoy. Also, Kevin and Avi do INSANE things with their voices in both!

Wow! Pentatonix is truly a family of exemplar vocal masters. Very nice reaction video as well for the most active vocal coach here in KZfaq. I wish you can do a reaction to our dearest Asia's Phoenix. She has done 'Rise Up' (acapella version) and 'Fly Like a Bird.' Would definitely love to see you react and give inputs to her recent renditions. Lots of love!

Just a beautiful group of people who have beautiful talent. God made them for this I think.

Beautiful

You do know Kevin's KZfaq channel where he was beatboxing and playing,is how Scott found him. Over 900,000 views. He saw him and said that is what we are missing to make 5 for the Sing-off.

I just saw Piet Arion Cover of “S.O.S” OMG 😱 that b7 gave me the chills 🥶

It s nice to see how you enjoy this

That was gorgeous

Personally speaking I think that this arrangement of Shallow is better than the original by Lady Gaga, it’s clearer and sharper and pulls you in , having you hanging on every note. The background with Matt, Mitch and Kevin is extraordinary. I have a request for you to view your preferred a live recording from the days before auto tuners. I bet all your tarabites will really love it and many will never have heard it before. It is the song that helped to make the film ghost so popular. It is of course UNCHAINED MELODY by the Righteous Brothers. Please and thank you in anticipation. Steven from Scotland.

Kevin was truly multitasking

Them and citizen queen and i love ini western r great to all great usa groups

Hi Ms Tara!!!! Please make a video to react to Pentatonix - Over the Rainbow. This song that they have covered just give me SO MUCH CHILLS. It's just so intriguing with the song being tuned lower by a half-semitone, but it still sounds so fantastic and well-sung. There is a lot of dissonant chords and harmony that sounds so magnificent, lots of surprise chords, it's just magical... so please react to this song!!

I would love your reaction to Pentatonix -When the party is over!

Could you react to faouzia "This mountain" acoustic version is very very good as well as "tears of gold" stripped version.

Tara! You totally stepped on their "Bad Romance" riff to talk about Kevin!

Cant wait for more ptx reactions

Wow looking to this reaction
