Their version of "Shallow" will blow you away, especially the mega-talented Kevin O!

You are the FIRST REACTOR to correctly identify ALL of the songs! I’m blown away!!!! You are the most musically versed. Amazing. Please check out their version ofBohemian Rhapsody!! You won’t be disappointed!

Wait till you get to their Christmas music. Good stuff but then it all is. Thanks for your reacts.

Yes....that is when color TV started. Just a suggestion. They started their journey by being on a show called "The Sing Off", which was a competition for a cappella groups in 2011. They appeared on the 3rd season of the show. You could react to all 12 of their performances of the show, which are all available on KZread and the judges' reactions. It will give you a good idea of how far they have come. Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch were 19 in that show and Kevin and Avi had just graduated from college.

Oh yes the best sing offs videos of PTX are from Mr Duckbear. I think it would be so so fun to do,all 12 performances of PTX with Judges comments. I don’t think You wouldn’t have to worry about copyright. They start out strong then go to great and then it gets insane

Seconding this, their finale performance is my second favorite song of theirs, if I'm completely honest. It's a fucking MASTERCLASS-- and features Avi's ability to make dual tones with his throat!

Please please please do their original Sing!

You should do the Sing Off season three. It shows them singing in a competition that kick started their career.

I'd have to confirm but I believe Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by the Andrews Sisters.

Thanks for a great reaction and continued effort to get around the copyright blocks that SME imposes upon Pentatonix. Now that Pentatonix has 3 Grammy awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, I am hoping they will find a way to kick SME to the curb when their contract ends without too many legal issues with rights to who owns their music, etc. Now that the members of Pentatonix are older, getting married, and having families it would be nice for them to take back the control of their lives, touring and creative expression. It would be great if they could own their own studio and do all their own production the way Voice Play has. I agree with the other comments about checking out season 3 of the "Sing Off" episodes with baby Pentatonix winning the competition that started their career. You will also want to check out season 4 of the "Sing Off" as well because both Home Free and Voice Play competed in season 4 with Home Free winning the competition. An interesting fact about Voice Play is they auditioned for the first season of "Sing Off" and they were turned down and encouraged to include a female singer in their group--they auditioned again for season 4 and made t5he cut when they added a sixth member that was female. Home Free auditioned for all 4 seasons of the "Sing Off" and were turned down the first 3 times and encouraged to add a female singer also. Home Free made it for season 4 without including a female because they had regrouped and added Austin and Tim and were innovative and different as a country acapella group and the judges and casting crew liked the way they sounded together. I love how 10 years later all three groups have become so successful.

The song from the 1940s you wondered about is "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", made famous during WW2 by the Andrews Sisters. PTX does the entire song on Pentatonix Vol. IV - Classics.

You're very knowledgeable when it comes to music. You're the first reactor I seen that pointed out the songs they did in the beginning. Bravo 👏

They have a video of gangum style that is wild

they are the pinnacle of a cappella

There is nothing better than watching someone geek out over Pentatonix. The fact that you know so many of the songs makes it even better. Just the way you keep laughing in sheer joy and disbelief is so adorable. I love your reactions.

Candyman sounds like that, Boogie Woogie Bugle boy, Yep color came in the 60's, 1st program That Girl, 1966. That was fun Matt!! Keep up the great reactions.

You should check out “Papaoutai”. (Stromae Cover) ft Lindsey Stirling.

You know your stuff! The Sing Off performances are a good idea. Really show you where they came from. They actually did a Gangnam Style video in full. It's sorta hilarious. They also did a full version of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy on one of their EPs. And of course you know they rather magnificently did Bohemian Rhapsody in full as well.

In case ya don’t know ~ Superfruit doesn’t ever need to be blocked. 🙂

The "trio" (Scott, Mitch and Kirstie) would all have been around 21 when this was filmed and Avi and Kevin about 4 years older. You should react to their "90's Dance Medley" from last year.

Their transitioning is perfect! Love your enthusiasm!

Yes this was great.

You are doing such a wonderful job!! Please react to their original Love Again! Superfruit’s Empire Medley and Hip Hop Goes Broadway Part1 and 2 are all awesome, too! 🔥🔥

"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by The Andrews Sisters. Recorded in January 1941. It was a classic of the Swing/Big Band era and WWII. Great reaction! You know your music!

The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy was from the Andrew Sisters.

Oh my gosh, when I saw you did this I had to hop on over to watch this reaction! Great, BTW! Yes Avi was Opera Trained. They do a full version of Gangnam Style and it is awesome, and watch the one with the bloopers at the end, hilarious! You have NOT done 90's Dance Medley yet as far as I can see and it also is a nostalgic trip and you will adore Kirsty in it! In fact ALL 5 of them!

It's a joy to see your pure love of all music , great reaction as always 😊 You mentioned reading a Dr Seuss book...check out Story Time with Tim ( Home Free Live in concert . There are several of these on KZread, all hilarious, ) but he does Green Eggs and Ham !!! You have to react to that one 😁

yes! they do Gangnam Style too!! 😏 make sure to do the bloopers too🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Congratulations on your song recognition! The only one you were off with was the first - Pachelbel's Canon in D Major was around 400 years after the 11th century. I believe the first snippet was of a Gregorian chant called 'Salve Regina'. And yes, Avi is opera trained. To hear him in full voice you need to listen to the live versions of 'Aha', where the opening bars of Christus Factus Est by Anton Bruckner are used as the introduction. Most people recommend the Star Vista, Singapore performance for that. I prefer the official video which isn't as easily found as it goes under the title of '4 5 Seconds'. Far better sound quality and really showcases the talent of all of this incredible group.

Another great reaction, Matt. I love your enthusiasm!

Love to see you so happy listening to PTX 👍🏻

Hey, just wanted to say I love the positivity you bring to your videos. Also I normally hate when folks are "crushing" on Kirstie because I've seen some reactors be gross about it. I love that you manage to crush on her while still being respectful and you take the time to compliment her talent and not just her looks. Anyway I really love your reactions, keep doin what you're doing! Also I humbly request more Superfruit, the whole Future Friends album is amaaaaaziiiing. Ok byeeeeeee

I would like to see you react to Unseen Private Performance of Take Me Home, which is a very good quality fan recording of an original song by Kirstie. You won’t be sorry!

Color was available as early as the 1880's but was very expensive and did not become popular for films until the late 1950's and early 60's. Disney was the first to put out an actual film using the three color method in 1932, although there were earlier attempts, but it was far from what we know today as color. By the mid-60's color as we know it today had pretty much become the norm and improved over the decades to come. Just a short history. This is one of my favorite videos of theirs. They had a cute message at the end letting you know why they picked these songs and apologized for leaving out any of your favorites. Great reaction! Be blessed.

The song you didn’t know the title of was Boogie Wookiee Bugle Boy. Great reaction!

This was the first PTX video I’d seen and it blew my mind with the transitions and the fact that there are no instruments, it was 2013 I think (I didn’t watch the Sing Off in 2011 but, of course, have since rectified that). Anyway, enjoying ur journey through Pentatonix’s catalog cuz we get to experience it like the first time when our minds were blown 🤯🤯🤯🙌🙌🙌

That's Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from The Andrews Sisters (and covered by Bette Midler). Christina Aguilera was portraying the Andrews Sisters in the Candy Man video.

@@mattsreacts fun fact Ptx has also covered Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. It’s on their classics album. Ptx vol 4. There’s no video for it so you could just listen to audio or find a live performance of it. Unfortunately I don’t know which one has good video quality since it was fan recorded. Also they didn’t perform it very long.

Recommend their cover of Attention.

You've got to react to their version of Gangnam Style and be sure to watch to the end for their bloopers.

PTX. Has a hilarious Gangum style pair of videos. One is them singing Gangum style in Korean. And then the bloopers are them trying and trying to get their tour announcement out. Both are so fun an do both together. 😁🤣

1940's was Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by the Andrew Sisters, and PTX does the whole song audio

Right after Old Man River was Cab Calloway's most famous song "Minnie the Moucher". He was a popular singer, song writer in the 30's big band and helped bring about skat. For you Forty somethings out there, he was on Sesame Street too (Maybe even the Muppet show. He performed this song in the Blues Brothers movie and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy covered it. Avi was indeed opera trained, but the Trio is no slouch. There are clips put there of them going back to their high school choir and singing with the top level choir at the school and the director has some pretty high standards and undertakes some decent classical choral pieces.kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJ2rr9VsdLnUccY.html

Love your reactions. You have sooo much fun with them it makes it such fun to watch. I have seen this many times but never noticed til now all the smirks and nearly breaking the song that Avi does.

Thanks Matt, another great reaction!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As others have mentioned, being such a music aficionado and loving PTX, you should consider reacting to their literal birth on the Sing-off competition. You could do 1 or 2 a week so you can work in your other artist reactions as well, but I think you would really appreciate their journey. If you decide to take this journey with us, be sure to use mrduckbear11 videos because they contain intros and judges comments. kzread.info We’d love to go along with you on the journey. Cheers!

I second this wholeheartedly!

I'm impressed you knew the Pachelbel. FYI -- this is not a good test of your block-blocking because for most reactors the "Evolution of ..." and some other medleys do not get blocked by the PTX label.

A couple days ago, you mentioned having some vids pulled down, and how you don't want to do fake repeats. I didn't have time to comment then, but now I do. I saw another reactor solve that problem. Wish I could remember who. They used their original video, with their first reaction, and kept the music rolling. But they would leave the music video visible for 10 seconds, then black the video out for 10 seconds, then repeat until the end. This keeps your reaction and the music tells us what you're hearing/seeing even when the video is blacked. You can also put a note on the screen saying you had to hide the video part time for copyright issues, and suggest people go to the artist's page to see the full vid. Not my original idea, wish I could remember the reactor. But maybe this might help you reupload.

So many people miss the change from black and white to color and yes that was in the late '60's. Just a little teaser, in La Bamba you heard just a couple words that Scott sang in Spanish....just so you know, as you get deep into this rabbit hole you will discover that PTX has videos in many languages...at least 3 more than just English!!!

This was the second of their viral videos from 2023 that really broke out their careers into the next level. The first was Royals, which started generating buzz. Then this one, which soon began competing with the Daft Punk video (released a few weeks later) for which PTX video would hit 100 million views first. Then, at the end of the year came Little Drummer Boy, which was and remains their biggest single, hitting #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Their EP PTX Vol. 2 that fall was their first album to debut in the top ten of Billboard’s Top 200 album chart

An interesting bit of Avi trivia in regard to 2 consecutive songs in this video. In 2017, before he left PTX, he did a solo EP where he covered OutKast's "Hey Ya!" in a very unexpected style (and killed it) kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZx2s6WkmKndico.html. Then, in 2019, he covered Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy" with his friends ReSound, in a stairwell. Short, but so sweet. kzread.info/dash/bejne/poaIqq5qZtXQaJM.html
