Which Pentatonix song do you want me to analyze next?

Their cover of Radioactive seems like a decent choice, it's not strictly acapella but Imagine Dragons is hardly ever the wrong answer. :)

Mad World. It's one of the few songs they do with no percussion, so it's 5 harmonies and Matt gets a lot of lead time.

Not a song but their recording of Evergreen. Always love seeing professionals reacting to that one. But if you want songs I'd love My favourite things or Joyful, Joyful (Live from Evergreen Experience)

Havana or 12 Days of Christmas

This is one of the first songs they did with Matt and I love how it showed his personality. I remember not being quite as devastated that Avi was gone. I would LOVE your take on 'The Recording of Evergreen' - it's such an interesting look into their process behind the scenes. As always this was a great analysis! You are the best!

Yes please! Also interested in your take!

I think PTX has been best described as 5 world class talents who are in a group where there is no ego. They get out of each other’s way and elevate the group to something beyond comprehension. It’s so hard to match them because where are you going to find 5 perfect solo artists willing to just be a piece of something bigger.

Scott has some of the best riffs in the business.

I would agree with another commenter and say you should take a look at the Recording of their Evergreen album. The insight to the Recording process is very enlightening. I would love to get an insiders take on it!

OMG YESSSS!!!!!

Man, your own perc is on point

Fun fact: they recorded this mv in NYC while Kirstie was doing Kinky Boots in Broadway

This was filmed while Kirstie was on Broadway in Kinky Boots. You know the 8 show per week grind -- so the rest of the band came to her. I'd love to believe the Broadway show let her live here during her performances ... but i have no idea. Regardless, the apartment vibe and view fit the song.

The bass is Timbaland's opening to Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" and Scott is doing Dua Lipa's "New Rules" over it. Then they go from there 😄

I was like that whole baseline is "Are you that somebody" 😄 And Matt is KILLING, so is Kevin. I love how much fun they're having.

This was the first song I saw with Matt and I was hooked. Hitting that iconic beat to start was a huge spotlight for Matt, in my opinion. Cause i loved “are you that somebody” when i was a kid and you feel that beat in your soul. It was a great way to introduce matt to the audience. It’s amazing. Love the analysis.

I knew you'd have to do the opening again. Matt is AWESOME! Thank you for your analysis. I really enjoy them and look forward to more of your PTX analyses.

This was Matts first album with PTX as a permanent member. (he had recorded Deck the Halls with them previously, but he wasn't fully part of the group at that point). You were talking about how difficult it is to remember variations in their arrangements for live performance... which made me think of Scotts TikTok last year of him sitting in his office trying to memorize all his parts for their arrangement of 12 Days of Christmas to be able to do it on the tour. You should definitely check out their official video of 12 Days... it's amazing! I don't want to spoil anything, so all I'll say is that it's FAR from the traditional version :)

I thought of that as well. Ben their arranger commented something funny... agh.. I'll go look it up because that exchange cracked me up. Ben Bram: me arranging this: “wouldn’t it be fun if we changed the parts JUST A LITTLE BIT on each repetition?” Scott Hoying: i’ll never forgive you

@@super_siri Oh, I totally agree!

This is the perfect one to do bc Matt really shines in this one. It's shocking how well he and Kevin replicate timbalands beats!!

The sound engineer is Ed Boyer, who specializes in finishing a capella recordings. Between arranger/producer Ben Bram and Ed, PTX has the best handling from arrangement to finished product. *ETA:* PTX is masterful in use of both sound _and_ silence. *ETA2:* Mitch's side project, Messer, is EDM-based. He's a big fan of EDM.

This might be my favorite mashup, Matt and Kevin are KILLING it!

To your point about memorizing small variations, their version of the 12 Days of Christmas is a great example. Every descending verse is different and Scott often calls out their producer Ben Bram for making it such a beast to perform live particularly for that reason

Just a tight vibe of a song. They are just so tight and clean.

Great reaction! You haven't done "Gold" yet, have you?

So excited for this one!! This is one of PTX best Mashups Ever!!

You're the first reactor to give an in-depth musical analysis so that music isn't just the beautiful art that it is but it's also a science.

Your voice/speaking tone 🥰😍

The Timbaland produced bass line from "Are you that Somebody" is throughout the entire song, weaving in Dua Lipa's New Rules and Aaliyah's Are you that Somebody lyrics. BRILLIANT!! Kevin and Matt 🔥🔥🔥This song is in my top 10 PTX songs on a list that is almost impossible to rank🤣

I love PTX. I enjoy watching reactions of PTX. I really love reactor that actually know music and can appreciate what they are doing. Thanks!!

Love Pentatonix! My husband and I are going to a their concert here in Knoxville in December. We are so excited to get to see them live!

Wonderful seeing you back with a ptx reaction! You're one of the best reactors for them so this was an exciting thing to see pop up! Love how excited you get. Loved your "going from EDM to opera" tidbit. Unexpectedly hilarious. I always love how you appreciate Matt and what he does.

I would love to see you react to their Evolution of Rihanna (with Matt). It's recorded live, the arrangement is very complex, and the vocals are incredibly powerful! :)

Thoroughly enjoy your analysis. If we only get you once a week, so be it. You're worth the wait.

I had forgotten how much I enjoyed, not just the reaction but the breakdown of the individual songs that you react to. Your analysis and pointing out little things that they do help me to enjoy the music so much better and I very much appreciate that. There are only a few reactors that do it and you do it very well. Thank you again for this excellent analysis and I hope to be hearing more from you soon, preferably from Pentatonix. Cheers!

This is one of my favorites! I could listen to this every day!

Yes please binge their videos! I love your reactions. I often check your page to see if I missed an upload. Please check out Pray, originals Happy Now & Coffee in Bed… also Scott and Mario’s cover of LP’s Lost on You to Hans Zimmer score.

as usual your analysis enhances my enjoyment of the piece by pointing out things I've missed the first 50 times I've seen it. Thanks

Just caught this reaction. Most people marvel at the talent and ability, but most don’t examine ARRANGEMENT! Great job!

This is such an amazing song. They do such great work and u really have to listen to hear everything that is going on. Thank u as always for an amazing reaction/analysis. U truly are the best one out there. No one else out there does a true analysis like u do.

they also do a song that has no words, dance of the sugar plum fairy. they won a grammy for it. i'd interested in your reaction to another mash up of theirs, la la latch. have you done the prayer or imagine? really enjoying your analysis. it does help enjoy the music more and appreciate the skills and abilities. scott hoying and mario jose do a verion of lost on you to a hans zimmer music and it is really special. both of them totally into the performance.

Do Pentatonix’ cover of “Seasons of Love”, where Kirstie really gets a chance to shine, or “Waving Through A Window” from Dear Evan Hansen.

I love your Pentatonix reactions.

I was waiting for this! Thank you very much for your analysis. More PTX please.

BINGO!!!! They really can't "add" ANY electronic embellishment...because they have to be able to do this stuff live. ALL OF IT.

Try Shallow or Waving Through a Window. Also have you seen the Making of Evergreen Album, it's so good.

I love PTX so much!!!! Great reaction! You reacting to Pentatonix is why I subscribed to your channel!😃

Would love to see you react and analyze to Pentatonix 2016 pop spring concert. They do three Originals and one cover. It's 17 minutes long so you might want to split it into two episodes.

Yeah, you can hear it, Matt's bass is definitely not the same song that The Trio is singing.

Great job Peter, but I really, REALLY want to hear your breakdown of PTX's Problem (Ariana Grande cover).

Their sound engineering and production has gotten so much better for their tours over time. I saw them in 2019. As you have pointed out in other videos, no matter how amazing their talents are, a live performance won’t sound the same as a studio recording. And they didn’t sound the same live but they sounded better than past live recordings I’ve seen. They started with great chemistry which only seems to have deepened with time.

Thank you for your reaction. I do love the way you relate to these artists and allow us to share your knowledge and enjoyment. We love Pentatonix, but is nice to understand why.

Love your stank face, Peter! Thanks for coming back around to PTX. I really appreciate your detailed analysis. I think you would find their Recording of Evergreen interesting and because you’re a professional singer, I would love your commentary on it. Their cover of Gold is live and if you’re familiar with the original, Mitch will 🤯🤯🤯. Thanks!

Your speaking voice is awesome!

I would love you to analyse some of Avi's solo work. You've sung with him and you've covered some of his songs but I haven't seen you react to any of them. For PTX reactions, try Love Again, Standing By and Run To You.

So glad to have you back. Your reaction and analysis have been so fun and informative and has increased my appreciation of the music you breakdown. I am an unapologetic Pentaholic. I listen differently because you do such a good job. I would like your reaction to "The Recording of Evergreen." .

I love this song. Gosh they do it justice with their own spin. Thank you for the reaction. I looked on your play list and didn't see a reaction for PTX singing Gold, Kiiara cover. I hope you react to it. Congratulations on the cover of Game Of Thrones! Looking forward to more of your work. Love your bass! By the way your beatboxing is way good!

I am not a big commenter, but I certainly appreciate your professional input. It definitely helps me appreciate these artists even more.

Super informative and entertaining (as always). Keep up the great work!

Ahhh thanks for coming back to PTX!! As a diehard Pentaholic and someone who found your channel through them, it always makes me happy when you go back to them. 😁 So excited that you did this one too; I knew you would love the opening with the bass and perc playing off each other so well. So clean!! I thought it was cool that that beat was from AYTS, but under the New Rules lyrics. As much as I’ve listened to this, I never heard that little variation in those bell tones! So fun to see you enjoy this cover as much as I do! 🥰

This was fantastic! I was a woodwind musician from middle school through college and I get such a deeper appreciation of the music when I watch one of your reaction/analysis videos.

Thank you Peter! You have taught me how to listen and enjoy music even more! 🎶

I’ve watched way too many PTX reactions, and they seem to fall into two categories: insightful or bandwagon reactions with no value added. You definitely fall into the insightful camp! I really appreciated how you stopped for the background elements and pointed out the texture and contrast. You made me think about their music in ways other great reactors haven’t! You became a top 3 music reactor for me in one video. Exceptional!

Another super reaction and analysis of a great PTX performance.

I have zero musical talent other than listening to it LOL you teach me so much!

Peter...you hit this so perfectly. Great to see how excited you get.

I love all of your reactions. Thanks for all of the entertainment!

Have you reacted to Imagine by PTX? Please do!

The background in this is EVERYTHING! Thank you for focusing on that! This is my favorite off this album. So many to choose from. Eventually, you must do Aha! Live at Singapore Star Vista.

Питер, здравствуйте! Я не понимаю, что Вы говорите, но у Вас очень необычный, красивый голос. Слушаю просто разговорную речь с большим удовольствием.

I always really enjoy your analyses. Just listening to your beautiful bass voice is a joy also.

Glad to see you back on PTX - I enjoy your analysis because it definitely has me listen a little differently when you point out some of the things going on. And since I'm not musically inclined, it's interesting when you explain how difficult something they're doing is. Looking forward to more.

If you enjoy hearing the “bass” sing, listen to their new video dropped recently “Kiss from a Rose” on Vevo or to hear Scott riffing all over the place: their songs from The Masked Singer as the California Roll.

Hey Peter, it's so great to see you doing Pentatonix again. I have missed you. I so love your reaction and breakdown. Thank you so much. As always hope and joy to you. Pass it on. =^;^=

Anyone else find it funny where Peter paused it just with the top half of Scott’s head showing?? Lol

Thank you for doing another PTX song. I learn so much from your explanations. So I can appreciate the musicality more.

Love your analysis of PTX songs, but would you consider doing one for Superfruit? That's Mitch and Scott from PTX. The main one I would love to have you see/hear/analyze is their cover of Defying Gravity.

That's exactly how I feel about Matt. He came into the position with huge shoes to fill and has done an amazing job. Still miss me some Avi though. Fortunately his solo work is filling that gap.

Thank you Peter, great analysis. As always, I love your professional breakdown. I really think there is no other group like PTX. They ARE the top of the tower of music.=, even though Home Free is right up there too. There are a few others that are right near the top but PTX has so many anomalies in their group and the way they work that puts them steps above anyone else. Thanks again and keep 'em comin' !!!

I hope you take a look at Run to you. Old but amazing!

great reaction and analysis also just watched your Game of Thrones (main theme) it was fantastic also seen a few of your other video's think its time i smashed that subscribe button.

That was a great analysis and reaction. Butter x Dynamite would be awesome. Like you said, they can't miss.

Love your PTX content, would love to hear your takes on their Lucky Ones album. Especially Anchor, Little Space, and Exit Signs...most of these don't have video's but you can play the visualizer or lyric videos.

Great job as always Sir

20:00 They do multi-tracking in some of their recent arrangements, especially for their original songs from "The Lucky Ones".

Love your reactions and completely agree with you on everything you've said about Pentatonix. _What is there to critique?_ I'd really like to see you react to and analyze Voctave. They're otherworldly and their arrangements are also masterfully done and performed. One of my favorite videos by them, Disney Love Medley, actually features Kirstin Maldonado, from Pentatonix.

It would be nice to hear it through once and then hear your analysis on a second play through!

Well, if Matt ever leaves, you would be a great addition to this group.
