-----------------------------
Pentatonix's cover of 'Can't Hold Us' is an electrifying rendition of the hit song originally recorded by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton. The song was released in 2011 as part of Macklemore's album 'The Heist' and became a massive success worldwide. Known for its infectious energy, powerful rap verses, and catchy chorus, 'Can't Hold Us' is an anthem of triumph and seizing the moment.
When Pentatonix tackled 'Can't Hold Us,' they brought their signature a cappella magic, reimagining the high-energy hip-hop track into a vocal spectacle. They brilliantly captured the essence and intensity of the original while adding their own creative twists.
Pentatonix's arrangement showcases their incredible vocal talents and seamless harmonies. Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi flawlessly handle the rap verses, delivering them with precision and style, while Kirstin Maldonado shines with her soaring lead vocals during the chorus sections. Their vocal dynamics and unity bring an invigorating and refreshing dimension to the song.
One of the standout elements in Pentatonix's rendition is their remarkable beatboxing and vocal percussion, masterfully executed by Kevin Olusola. He recreates the song's energetic rhythm and beats using only his voice, adding a captivating layer that drives the performance forward and keeps listeners engaged.
The group's ability to layer their voices and build intricate harmonies is evident throughout the song. Their seamless transitions between different vocal parts, from rapid-fire verses to anthemic choruses, create an engaging and dynamic listening experience. Each member's voice contributes to the overall texture and power of the arrangement, with Matt Sallee's bass vocals providing a solid foundation and Avi Kaplan's previous contributions adding depth to their live performances.
Pentatonix's cover of 'Can't Hold Us' not only showcases their exceptional vocal skills but also their boundless energy and stage presence. Their synchronized choreography, combined with their stellar vocals, creates an immersive and captivating performance that leaves a lasting impression.
By infusing their unique a cappella style into 'Can't Hold Us,' Pentatonix transforms the song into a captivating musical journey, captivating listeners with their creativity and skillful execution. Their rendition is a testament to their ability to reimagine popular songs and make them their own, further solidifying their status as one of the most extraordinary a cappella groups of our time."

A few other fun ones to check out are Thrift Shop (also Macklemore - with thrift shop outfits), Love Again (original), New Rules x Are You That Somebody (mash-up cover), Sing (original). By the way, you got Kirstie's name just right, remember - rhymes with Thirsty.

    Happy to see you taking a break from the heavy for a minute. As much as I adore your reactions to all things deep and meaningful, it can't be good for you to react to only songs of great heft without periodically just having a little fun. I knew it was going to kill you the minute Avi dropped in with that heavy bass. As a punishment (also known as a reward for giving up), I think you should react to their original "Sing" so that we can see you give up again. We don't want to see you torture yourself for too long, you know. I didn't see it on the playlist (though you might have done it in a live at some point). Thanks for another great reaction. It's good to see you visiting PTX again. I'd also love to see you react to some of Avi's solo stuff because I adore his music and I am selfless (yeah right) so I want to share.

    I had a feeling you wouldn't be able to do it! LOL I was born in the 50s and this is absolutely one of my favorite songs they do. Love the fun stuff! Edit: You are correct about some reactors. My favorites are those who do add to the reaction. Just sitting there and saying "Oh, that's good" is not my thing. They dressed in each scene to a part of their individual personalities, especially in the past, before PTX. You can see it, right. Kevin is very religious/spiritual and grew up in the church; Scott is kinda a skater boy, Mitch, nerdy and Kirstie has/had a goth vibe going. Avi...well laid back. See, you see it now!!

    Gosh, I think you can both be a part of the music (jive to rhythm) and keep an open and critical ear as well, I’d rather you be your whole self. I’ve given it a lot of thought and I listen to reactions for two reasons: 1.) I want the emotional high I get watching a reactor respond to Pentatonix because it’s usually both positive and enthusiastic. I get a personal, emotional boost when I see that happen.., and 2.) if the reactor happens to have some musical training or experience of some type in the industry I like to hear them comment on parts of the song that are more subtle and require somewhat of a trained ear to hear. Then I, too, can listen for it as well. So, my vote is for you to be who you are because it appears that is what I happen to be looking for, anyway. Thanks!

    This is why a ptx cover is called an upgrade. I saw them in September. Pts never does a song live that they cannot reproduce live then what the studio version sounds like on the official music video. There is a behind-the-scenes video for this song. On some songs they will do a behind-the-scenes video. If you want to hear more rap then listen to Superfruit which is the channel That Scott and Mitch had as a side project early on in ptxs career. It's not acapella because there is usually at least a piano playing if you really want to be taken for a loop listen to superfruits rendition of Nicki Minaj

    It's now a couple of years old, but Scott Hoying did a side project where he helped assemble a group of kids called Acapop Kids who did some phenomenal covers of contemporary pop music. www.youtube.com/@AcapopKIDS/videos They got sidelined by the Pandemic, and their terrific 15 year old beatbox Nolan Gibbons suddenly died in his sleep. I have no idea whether they plan on starting up again or not, but they left behind a handful of sensational videos. I thought you might like these.
