One amazing thing about Avi is his ability to whistle-hum and do polyphonic overtone singing. He does is frequently in their videos, and I believe most people just think Kevin is creating the other sounds. He does it in this video as well as in Bohemian Rhapsody. You should watch for it! Thanks for your detailed reactions! ❤

Thank you so much

You are correct with Kirstin. As she says, "my name is Kirstin, but you can call me Kirstie...it rhymes with thirsty." And you are SO right about her angelic voice. Hits me right in the feels every time I hear her sing. I know the arranging procedure of this was time-consuming, but the entire recording and shooting of the video took place in one day. They had booked studio time, but it fell through at the last minute. So they recorded it in a bedroom closet and shot the video in a kitchen, using just black curtains, a black light, two ring lights, and a smoke machine. The shooting budget was $400 (that didn't count the editing and post-production costs, but that was also done on a shoestring budget). The result was their first world-wide hit, international superstardom, their first Grammy, and moving from a record contract on a small Sony-owned label (Madison Gate) all the way up to the major RCA label.

I swear you are the most informative of all Reactors! Thank You ❤️from 🇹🇹

Just to let you know, Avi does overtones in a lot of their performances, two tones at once. Kevin does what he calls cello-boxing. As a classical trained cellist,that beatboxes at the same time. The whole group all agree that Mitch has the most impressive technical control of his voice. Scott is a beast of riffs and runs. And together Mitch and Kirstie together create the sound of angels. Kirstie has also performed on Broadway and shows so much emotion in everything she sings. Matt, the new bass is so incredibly smooth and can't help but give you a tremendous smile in every performance.

NO matter how you slice it, PTX will never have the full, rich sound they had with Avi. Fabulously, naturally talented and classically trained...who can match his resonance?

Oh please don't be sorry for how much you talk - what you're saying is so interesting and what makes your channel awesome! And please don't worry about "dumbing down" what you're saying, or at least please explain it how you want and then maybe repeat it simplified? It's so informative and helpful!

I still think that this is the best ever a cappella arrangement ever done and the fact that they made this video in Avi's kitchen (as their venue let them down at the last minute) with just a few hundred dollars and a couple of ring lights! It's insanity! And the fact that they can do this live is UNREAL! There is a video of them singing it in a hotel room, no affects, nothing. So impressive.

As a non-musician who loves music, I truly appreciate your review and analysis. This one always blows me away, but then again, PTX blows me away pretty consistently. Two covers I would recommend are ‘Gold’ and ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’, very different, but they are both amazing. Thanks for the great reaction!

YESSSS!!!! Well said!!! Their original "Sing" is also absolutely FANTASTIC and fun :)

This took about a week to put together. In an interview with Grammys Mitch detailed it. First was choosing which songs to use, then in which order. The main melody is figured out, then the background is put in, and Kevin and Avi work together to come up with the bass and percussion. Then it gets tweaked to fill in the holes.

You are the first person to point out the breathing control Kevin has to have. I could just watch him all day as he does what he does. He's my music crush!

What a great commentary and reaction! I very much enjoyed both your explanations and disbelief at what you were hearing. 😃 Pentatonix won their first grammy for this mashup of 6 or 7 Daft Punk songs and the grammy was for best arrangement, instrumental or acapella. Their arranger, Ben Bram, won it with them; he's the one that arranges their songs with them, though they often just circle jam as five until they have a working demo, then they send it to Ben Bram to put the finishing touches on it and get it ready for recording. Some songs they can do in a little as a day, and some of their large medleys like the Evolution of... series take weeks to months to create. They're really skilled at it too. For true mashups, check out La La Latch, As Long As You Love Me / Wide Awake, or New Rules x Are You That Somebody. For medleys with lots of songs, definitely have a look at their Evolution of ... series (just pick your favorite artist) or their most recent, the 90s Dance Medley. And I agree with the other commenters' suggestion of Wizard of Ahhhs (although that was the brainchild of Todrick Hall, PTX execute it masterfully). If you want another EDM vibe song, have a look at their original Love Again. Kevin and Avi will blow you away with their rhythm and bass section. 😁

This song is really a one of a kind and I think the peak of what they (pentatonix) achieved

I learned quite a bit here. Thanks for posting. Love to see you enjoying my favourite group as well.

They won their first Grammy with this video. Avi (bass) & Kevin (beatboxer) used their apartment and it was filmed in a closet using ring lights...each one was recorded separately. They were down to their last $400 so used it for their contacts & makeup etc. Editing was genius. There is a video of how they made it. Avi is a classically trained Basso profundo. He can also and has done overtone singing. Thanks for such a great analysis I really enjoyed the information you shared. Liked & Sub

Havana & 90s Dance Medley 🤘🏻🔥🍻

The pitch modulation on Mitch's voice! That's organic, it's not an effect!!!! FIRE!🔥🔥🔥

What I find even more impressive is they can do this completely live with no electronic helpers or autotune.

Great Reaction as Usual!!!! Please check out "Wizard of Ahhs" by Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix!!!! It's a Very Fun Mashup!!!!

YESSSSS just saw it for the first time the other day and its been living rent-free in my head since then :P

You would probably enjoy watching the beginnings of Pentatonix. They were in an a capella singing competition called The Sing Off. Each week they had to prepare one or two songs based on the theme of the show for that week. Even in the short length of the show you can see growth and improvement in their singing and presentation. Those might be fun to react to as well.

Every musical instrument that has ever been made was done so in order to simulate the sounds of the human voice. That's why we need so many different instruments.

You commenting on this song for a couple of hours would be fun. You were in sensory overload at about 10:44 of the video, I will point out they were singing TWO songs at once. Avi was singing Television rules the nation and Kirstie was singing Around the world.

Not only their musical talent and harmonies and technical ability, but I gotta hand it to the editors and sound production. This was my first introduction to a Pentatonix video after I saw them win their season on the Sing Off. Just awesome. Saw them in concert after that (until people started standing up in front of me, then I had to just watch the screen....lucky there was one).

Grammy worthy performance 🙂

They won a Grammy award for this..

They make the sounds while breathing in too. That takes another level of skill. People have moved on from the old classical stuffy rules of music. Can you imagine something like opera trying to make sounds while breathing in? XD

Kevin is often overlooked, yet one of my favorites! Wait until you see him beatbox and play cello at the same time. That being said, PTX is my all time favorite group!!!

That's why they won grammes of this song

Please react to Pentatonix Hallelujah, then Bohemian Rhapsody.

Listen to Kevin Olusola Down. You will love it.

Love your appreciation for their musical talent. Thanks for sharing your experience

So wonderful to hear you be amazed at this masterpiece of a performance. Loved everything you had to say about it.

Avi does do overtone singing ridiculously and worth a look. I would suggest him doing The Lion Sleeps Tonight. Avi is the bass guy (a basso profoundo) : )

Your reactions are priceless. I really appreciate you breaking down & explaining what Avi(the bass) was doing.

I absolutely agree that this song is perfection and can't be done any better. I also agree on the breathing... but, BUT, you forget that this is heavily edited, again BUT, they've performed this live to perfection, so obviously editing isn't the thing. Obviously, they've mastered the breathing. Obscenely talented professionals.

Avi is the most supernatural when it comes to breathing - very few spaces for him. And the bass slides! Have you seen their beginning on The Sting Off? You can see their journey - Ari and Kevin just morphed into the best drum and bass combo they'd ever seen. If you haven't seen their Sing Off journey, you're missing out. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great reaction!! More Pentatonix PLEASE and check out Kevin's (beatboxer) solo videos DOWN and SIGN OF THE TIMES.

I absolutely loved your reaction to this amazing song/group. They are so incredibly talented. Perhaps I can suggest another very talented artist for you to react to, her name is Rosalía. She is a young Spanish Singer/songwriter/composer/producer who started off with Flamenco but has now branched into more commercial music. However, her album El Mal Querer is critically acclaimed and has won awards (impressive considering she wrote it as her final year project at University). To start off I'd recommend Me Quedo Contigo live at the Goya Awards.

What's important to note about their Grammy is that is was for Arranging. Not performance, but the arrangement , which you clearly appreciated in your commentary.

First, yes I know it is almost June, but I think you need to watch O Come All Ye Faithful by PTX, I truly believe you will be amazed!

Havana- Pentatonix

I have watched hundreds of reactors & you are the 1st one I have ever found who appreciates the breath control that they have! That is also very evident in their cover of Amazing Grace. At the beginning Kevin & Kirstie hold their note under Matts solo for like a gazillion measures! (Matt's the new bass that came on board when Avi left a few years ago - it was totally amicable) I have STILL to find where they breathe! And yes, I have tried!! I was in chorus in high school & choir at Church for many, many years, and we had to learn proper breath control. It is extremely hard. And I appreciate all of your talking! Most Pentaholics here have heard these songs hundreds of times & we're here to hear your remarks & to watch you get your mind blown! It is an addictive experience! Thank you for your knowledgeable commentary! I totally enjoyed it!! I also appreciate your intelligent sense of humor!

Had to go back and find the video. If you’re interested in breathing and breath control take a look at the PTX Carol of the Bells. Some have commented on when Mitch takes a breath during the opening verse(s) since it lasts so long and the quality of his voice doesn’t seem to change during that intro. I’m sure there are other examples, Avi holding a single note for 10 seconds or more without an apparent breath. Glad to see you are posting a few more reactions. BTW, there is a “private performance “ video of this song which was done live, without mics and sounds as good as the video.
