Joe Barnhart he also does the same in the songs where Avi had the solo

yes!! that guy has a crazy range!!!

@@kodakohl yep. You're talking about hallelujah, I suppose

@@chandreyeejackson5, yes, most noticeably in Hallelujah when Avi sings lead and you still hear a deep bass underneath. Lots of people naturally assume that that's two tracks of Avi, but you can tell in the live video that it is actually Scott singing the bass part, and doing it well.

@@mikegoodwin2386 yes, you're right. In hallelujah it's very very apparent

me too!!

Hey MJ! I agree so much! the arranging is pure gold.

Cheryl Howe and he is such a good performer when it comes to him never stealing the spotlight from the others when they are singing solo or together, but still shine when he is supposed to. It’s beautiful😍

@@5hargreevesapologist I agree!

Unless you got good speakers then the bass hits way harder since it vibrates your chest.

Yes!!! i've been meaning to check these guys out, thanks so much for the links!

😘❤🌹

I sing in the shower loud , so everybody runs off , and that way I get time alone :)

Hey Lauren. I just wanted to ask you... what, exactly, do you even need a mouth for? Your eyes are ridiculously( not at all in a bad way!) Expressive! :)

I joined to to your group on Facebook.

Thanks for the comment brandon!

The official video from Disturbed adds so much to it, much like PTX's video for "Imagine."

I was gonna comment this. Thank you.

which ones would you like to see reactions to??

Singing with Lauren I think their cover of Gold (Kiiara) would be really cool. It’s done live in a single take and a really challenging song. You might want to check out the original before your reaction to really understand what they accomplished.

@@SingingwithLauren Dancing On My Own, New Rules × Are You That Somebody, Attention, Perfect, Havana, Gold, Evolution of Rihanna, Evolution of Ariana Grande are some of my favorites. But honestly, anything would be great!!

Also Daft Punk Medley or Can't Sleep Love from when Avi was with them.

yes! i need to get some really nice ones!

Hey steve! thanks so much for the request, I'll check her out!

@@SingingwithLauren I assure you that your subscribership will explode once you start to do reactions to Angelina. She already had millions of rabid followers around the world before appearing on AGT-C. She won Norway's got talent in 2014...when she was seven (yes, 7) years old! She just turned 14. Here is a link to her iconic cover of Screamin' Jay Hawkins original of I Put a Spell on You. She was nine and arranged her cover of the difficult original (you'll see why) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pN12n9J0tb7ec6c.html Warning! If you watch this, you will be "spelled". Make sure it's a true reaction so that we can see the astonishment on your face. 8-))

The meaning of a song is what the song means to you. In the more than half century since this song was composed (1964) the world has moved on in many ways, presenting many new opportunities for understanding The Sound of Silence. The meaning evident to those of that long ago era was about not buying into the American Dream of living in the suburbs with 2.4 children (with the mother being just a housewife of course) everyone wearing the same suits and dresses, doing the same things and ignoring the existence of ‘coloreds’ and others of ‘wrong’ ancestry, not to mention those horrid sexual deviants and definitely those pot-smoking folk-music-listening long-haired beatnik types. Or at least that is how I and those like me understood it back then. On the liner notes of the purely acoustic Wednesday Morning 3 AM album released in 1964, Art Garfunkel mentions that Paul Simon, who wrote the song and performed it with Art, disliked interpretations. And Paul was/is right. Music, and all art, expresses that which cannot be spoken, only pointed to. To say it means this or that is both wrong and right. If it points to something important and meaningful for you, then it is art. Liking this version or that version of The Sound of Silence because it touches you is proof of its greatness.

Hey marie! you should check out my membership site total vocal transformation. I give my students one recording review a month! singingwithlauren.com/freetrial

Hey there!!! I love that song!! ooo will definitely have to check this one out!

"Ring of Fire" acapella cover by Home Free ft. Avi Kaplan - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtJjl9Z5qLnHqIk.html Home Free comes in very close to PTX.

LOL it is a big list. will do! love the song creep.

The Haley/PMJ version is unlike any "Creep" cover you've ever heard! Look back through "the big list" and you're sure to find requests to react to Haley's performances. PMJ is a "rotating musical collective"...i.e. a pool of many talented musicians drawing in scores of featured singers. PMJ's presentations are a grab bag of musical delights and you've probably had requests for some of them! Every request seems to end with the assurance that you should "trust me--you'll love it!" I'm asking you to do the opposite--don't trust me...trust the YT results. This performance has more than 75M views, and with almost 1M like/dislike "votes" cast, its "like" ratio is 98.4%. To put that in perspective, the "like" ratio for the most popular YT video of all time ("Despacito") is only 89.3%!

There's only one replacement

PTX is singing the song very much like the original, with the elaborations possible with five excellent voices as opposed to just two.
