@@PeterBarber Speaking of tears, The Lion King was a childhood favorite of mine, and I’d been a Pentaholic for quite some time when they released “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” I saw the thumbnail, title, and channel on that vid, and I instantly thought of Mitch’s part. Just briefly imagining it, I started really crying. Not just a tear or two, but streaming tears of joy and reminiscence, rolling down my face. It took me a few months to prepare myself to be able to hear the beauty I knew was coming. Even with the hype I’d built up, they surpassed my expectations, and I still got Mitch-slapped. They always seem to out-blank blank. They out-Elton Johned Elton John. They out-Daft Punk’d Daft Punk. They even out-Queened Queen. How do they consistently pay homage while paying homage, and also manage to perfect the original, and make it better while still respecting the original?

the way Mitch can just bust that D5 like it's an A4 is crazy.

Avi is a one of a kind bass, his lowest note is a D1 and a lot of other bass singers notes are lower than that, but avi's voice is so deep and smooth that he can make the notes above the D1 sound like they're off the piano scale, he has always been my favorite bass singer. Also watch Pentatonix Live concert of Natural Disaster and get ready to hear Avi's bass make it sound like the building is going to collapse, seriously it sounds like that.😀😂

There is a lot of value in being the "lowest possible voice" but honestly for performance purposes it is really not that important. There are very few songs that would require or even be improved by going lower than Avi can, unless it is done as an exhibition of skill. One of the things that makes me love Pentatonix is that even though all of them have the skills to dominate a song, they are almost entirely focused on the sound of the group. They give everyone a chance to shine, but they never seem to show off for its own sake, and only do so when they have a real musical reason to do it.

I didn’t know Avi went at a D1, I know he’s done F#1 as one of his lowest chest but I think his sweet spot range is like Eb2-Bb1.

In studio recording Avi does all base lines. But you were absolutely right that Scott takes over the base in live performances when Avi has a solo. Avi mentioned this in an interview I saw.

Scott takes over the bass during Avi's solo and he does it in other songs as well. A reaction would be cool, but if you at least give his cover of I Should Tell Ya Momma On You a listen you can hear his bass timbre and if you listen closely on Halleluljah you can hear the difference between him and Avi. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gqxmz6dwqbK6ldo.html

Avi isn't singing both bass and solo there, Scott is doing the bass as they do live. If you listen again while knowing that you can actually hear that it IS Scott ❤

"And then Avi comes in..." *man-crush on Avi moment... Hehe. I love it. I think this is my favorite reaction to this song.

Pentatonix are mind-blowing! Their arrangements are brilliant, their skills are out of this world, and they so definitely serve the music! This song included. That said, I have been completely and utterly spoiled by K.D. Lang's version of this song... a very different style, it can't really be compared, and yet, I can't hear this song without wanting to hear her voice in it. No other version I've ever heard, including this one, embodies the soul of the song the way she does.

go check the live version of this from their christmas show and you will see scott takes over the bass when avi does his solo, and if you listen closely here you can tell the tamber change when they switch in this video

And please sing when moved, your voice is beautiful too. I personally don't find it distracting when talented reviewers hum or softly sing along at points during review when honestly moved to sing. Your raw feelings and emotions add to your reactions. Thank you for sharing your musical knowledge and teaching us more about why these songs are masterpieces.

Keith's wife here......I am crying my eyes out right now. The beauty of this recording is unsurpassed!

Check out PTX “Sound of Silence” where Matt and Scott switch roles so you can truly hear their ranges. Amazing stuff! Nice critique. They sound truly wonderful live.

Scott takes over the baseline when Avi is singing the solo. You can see that if you watch the live version they did for their Christmas Special on NBC

This was the first song, I ever heard with Pentatonix. My tattooist introduced me to them. And last year was really rough for me, not only dealing with a lot of stress at work, but my bf got a blood clut in the brain and had to stay in hospital for almost two months. The one thing that got me through this, was music. I realized that there were various reaction channels here and started listening to them. Slowly, I added Home Free and Voiceplay to my playlists, and then I found Tomi P and of course The Bass Gang. I have spent a whole year filling my life with a capella music and I love it. Music just soothes my soul in a way nothing else will.

I really appreciate how the music moved you. The first time I heard this...tears streaming down my face, in utter awe and captivation of how gorgeous their version and performance is in this video. I couldn't help it. So..it's warming to me to know how this piece, that Pentatonix GIFTED to us, impacted you similarly. I specifically sought out your reaction of this video for this very reason. Thank you sir. ❤

On the recorded version Avi does double track the super low very quiet notes during his solo (so they can be dropped during live versions) but the higher bass part is done by Scott throughout Avi's solo... you can tell the tonal difference between Scott & Avi's tone if you listen. In the live version Scott does it all and you tell its not as low in parts as on the track. Scott does great in covering bass line for Avi but a baritone can't get quite as low as a true bass (Scott does have amazing range). That is why it's easier with covering for Matt since Matt is a bass baritone. Avi's chocolate whiskey warm voice is very distinctive and unique. Kevin does use voice percussion during the song but the video doesn't really show it. Avi & Kevin talk about it in interview...adding little ear candy on recorded version that can be removed for live performances that really don't change the song but just make it pure perfection.

Fun fact. There is a video of a "behind the scenes" of the making of this video. Everyone is dressed like it's freezing. But on the day they filmed this the actual ambient temp was over 100°F! Job 1 besides great singing was keep everyone hydrated and not passing out.

Maybe I’m just a weirdo but I’m always drawn to a bass singer in any ensemble. They’re all absolutely fantastic but Avi’s crazy low register is just....goosebumps 🙌🏼

Absolutely the most beautiful and Perfectly sung song by extremely talented people! I just can't get enough of hearing this group sing this song! Every single time I hear it, I get goosebumps!! It's amazing how well they can sing together, and individually! I would LOVE to hear more from this group of singers! They are VERY special!! Just LOVE them! Amazing!! I can't say it enough! I want to hear more from this group! I really do! Why nobody has made this happen, is what has me wondering why? It's such a rare thing, to have singers with all this talent ,combined together, and be able to listen to such beautiful sounds is something I would happily pay for ! Am I the only one that wants to hear more from this group? I can't be! They are amazing! And I am addicted already! Hook me up people! I need another dose of this musical group singing together! Having withdrawals! More! More! More! Can I get another "Hallelujah"?!?!?

The fact that music can cause tears, IS awesome to me. Imagine there are people that can't get goosebumps listening. music, to me it's hard to imagine.

Never be ashamed to show emotion. Sharing emotion shows real strength. Great review.

This was how I discovered PTX one night in early spring 2019...fell down the rabbit hole listening to them (and then found Ring of Fire w Home Free and Avi and that was my gateway to them a few nights later). I ended up going to see PTX w my now 14 yr old son at Madison Square Garden in May/June 2019 and by that time Avi was not with them anymore. They did sing this and the most *human* thing I remember was that Scott was off pitch for the first two measures!! Proves that they are singing live and that even tho they are technically incredible, they are not infalable.

Shawn Stockman pointed out getting the “ugly face” listening to Pentatonix when they do something great. I love seeing someone getting “ugly face” when listening to them.

This song was on a Christmas album so they needed time to film, edit, and release it at the beginning of the Holiday season. To get the proper holiday "feel" they wanted it to look like it was cold out which is why they're all bundled up. Unfortunately, all this combined so they were filming this on a Southern California playa in late summer, when it was over a hundred degrees out there. This resulted in filming in many short segments with lots of breaks to cool off in between. In their videos that take place in one location outdoors or with natural light, watch how the shadows and light changes and comes back during a video. This video and Sound of Silence took all day to film and Bohemian Rhapsody took all night. They started BoRhap at 10PM and almost got caught by the sunrise. In a few scenes you can see the pre-dawn lighting the horizon. And no, Avi doesn't carry the base line while doing solos, Scott is a baritone and uses the bottom of his register to carry it. He spans from mid-bass range to well up into tenor range. As far as building up to the "belting" part, I like how it's often Kirsty, the lone female, who gets to let loose.

Another great song is their original, Run To You. Voices of angels that one.

That big breath in preparation for the mitch-slap. Then, you can exhale. I think I do this every time.

I hope his success has humbled some of those naysayers. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic heartfelt informative reaction.

Most beautiful acapella song ever made? I never thought PTX could outdo the utter beauty of Hallelujah, however, they may have done that with their version of 'Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone'. Check that out next if you dare! Also, would be nice to see you come out with a lot more solo or collab work of your own. It is fun listening to your voice like with that cover of Avi's song you did.

Avi doesn't do the bass as he's soloing. It is Scott who's doing the bass while he's singing solo.

The most beautiful a cappella arrangement ever.

Hi Peter, I appreciate your perspective on this. This is one of my favorites. While I’m a bass also, I never could find ways to get anywhere close to this good. I can tell you appreciate their efforts and talents. We need more like this quality in the world .

Love watching reactions to this one where people get Mitch slapped. You did not disappoint.

I'm singing along. Can't resist. This version is PERFECTION.

Since at least 20 people have already pointed out that the bass is covered by Scott when Avi sings, I'm just going to comment that you seriously need to give Scott props. His range and his talent as a singer are astonishing. Most reactors focus on Avi, Kevin or Mitch, and sometimes Kirstin, but Scott is a powerhouse in his own right. Every singer in this group (including both Avi and Matt) are insanely capable of standing out on their own but the collective that is Pentatonix is the focus. I believe it was Scott who was the driving force behind the actual creation of PTX and getting it where it is today. He said it himself, "There is no Plan B."
