Yes! You must watch the prayer! I like it better than the original

Scott is a baritone with a 4 octave range. He also does falsetto, and takes the bass part when Matt (or Avi) is singing. Avi was with the group from the beginning in 2011, and left in 2017. (He has a wonderful solo career) Matt Sallee is "the new guy". There is no way to adequately describe what Pentatonix does to a song. I have decided to use "pentafy". Once a song is pentafied, it becomes pentastic.

I concur that "The Prayer" not only shows Mitch's angelic voice, but Pentatonix's wall of sound.

Not to mention Scott's Italian 😍

We like to say that Pentatonix doesn't do covers; they do upgrades. This song is a good example of that.

I've seen it put like this: The Simon and Garfunkel version is a warning. The Disturbed version is angry at the people ignored the warning. The Pentatonix version is about hope that the message may still be heard.

Lovely description as well.

Pentatonix has had one lineup change, which you noticed. Avi Kaplan, "the guy with the beanie and the beard" is no longer with the group. He left and was replaced by new bass, Matt. Very different voice, but also very good.

You are almost ready for 'Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone'.

The Prayer is definitely one of Mitch's best. But I melt everytime I hear is lower register in Amazing Grace

It is one of my most favorite songs from them & him. Not enough people react to it either.

So the bass with the beanie and beard has left the group as of 2017 and now has a solo career. His name is Avi Kaplan and his voice is magical. He wasn’t doing well with the crazy touring schedule and everything. If you watch his solo stuff you’ll see that his vibe is a lot more chill now. Which is phenomenal for him. Matt Salle is the “new” bass who has officially been with the group since 2018. He has a beautiful voice. His bass is different and yet still works perfectly with Pentatonix. His vibe works soooo well with the group. Mitch Grassi has the mesmerizing voice, Scott Hoying is the baritone and Kirstie is the soprano. Kevin is the insanely talented beat boxer, with a shockingly beautiful tenor voice (he shows it off occasionally) and he is a world class cellist who can cello box, aka beat box and play the cello simultaneously.

No, just 5 in the group, Avi, the bass left in 2017, and Matt took his place. It's been long enough now he's not the new guy anymore. But we still call him the new guy, and probably will for the next 20 years until someone else is replaced. Then that person becomes the new guy, and Matt is relieved of that title. Hopefully it will be that long before someone else needs replaced.

I agree. Mitch's voice is just the best - angelic.

Angelic is always the word I use to describe his voice!

As you may or may not recognize, Scott (guy in the middle) covers the bass line for Matt/Avi whenever they take the lead. Scott can go low or high! Very versatile! Matt (guy on the left) joined the group after Avi left in 2017. Great addition to the group! Thank you for your wonderful reaction!

I've heard Mitch's voice described as "once in a generation" and "angelic". He is so good, they all are.

Scott actually can drop quite low when he wants to, but it's not normally so front and center. It dropped my jaw the first time too. Don't worry, you'll get the names in time. And the one you already love is Mitch. Everybody loves Mitch first. His voice is just so.......

GREAT reaction to Matt 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Dude took over the Bass position once Avi left the group (amicable terms) and has straight catapulted them to the next level. He is literally a perfect fit with PTX.

This song has an example of the Pentatonix "wall of sound" during the final chorus. It's basically everyone who is singing belting their hearts out, making it seem like there must be more than just 5 people performing. You also heard the wall of sound in Hallelujah, at the end while they were doing what I call "the Hallelujah choruses". A couple of other songs with examples are Imagine (cover of John Lennon's iconic song) and Amazing Grace (the (probably) familiar song often sung in church or at funerals). Imagine has some amazing visuals and also lets you hear Kevin's (the beatboxer) amazing falsetto, and Amazing Grace has both Kevin's falsetto and you REALLY get to hear just how powerful a singer Kirstin is during the last portion of her solo.

That voice you love belongs to Mitch Grassi. His voice is always stellar, we all stop (well I do) no matter what is going on and just focus on Mitch. Mitch is truly amazing what he can do with those vocal cords!!! In older videos, before Avi left I also was drawn to Avi. I think a lot of Pentaholics miss Avi, Matt is doing really great job filling the bass 'spot' left by Avi.

Scotts Voice has the most range. Sometimes he goes extremely high, battling with Mitch (Coffee in Bed or in the bridge Fichte Prayer), but he can take over the bass if needed. He is probably underrated, but actually the most versatile member!

If you are looking for it, you cna hear him singing low in hallelujah while avi songs lead as well as harmonizing down with avi sometimes like in bohemian rhapsody. (Which you REALLY need to react to!)

As already mentioned, "The Prayer" is an excellent choice to hear Mitch at his most angelic. If you want to hear more of Matt, catch "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" - Matt has a totally delightful not-so-evil grin, and this song is a good one to hear Scott doing the bass harmonies. If you want more of Avi (and I'm not sure what you've already watched so there may be some overlap), try "Hallelujah," "Imagine," "Bohemian Rhapsody." Actually, come to think of it, *regardless* of whether you're looking for videos with Avi, watch those three. They're iconic. But check out the originals first. Leonard Cohen wrote and performed "Hallelujah"; John Lennon wrote and performed "Imagine"; and "Bohemian Rhapsody" was by Queen. Also, check out "Prayers For This World" from their new Christmas album, _Holidays Around the World._

if you love Mitch's voice definitely listen to their cover of The Prayer and also their 90s Dance Medley if you're in a mood for something more upbeat :)

This version, which IS the best version if you ask me, feels more 'hopeful'...

I agree with your comparison. The disturbed version was angry, PTX hopeful. S&G's original was the warning. And remember, PTX do all the instrumentals, so my pick is this cover, especially when I feel depressed or sad. Great reaction and insightful commentary. Cheers from Aus.

This is a perfect example of what we call the Wall of Sound. And it is spectacular every single time. 🥰

Matt became bass for Pentatonix in October 2017. Avi's last concert date with them was in September 2017. If you have not listened to Pentatonix music nor watched their videos that were made since mid 2017 you have a lot of Pentatonix content to catch up on.

Try Pentatonix's version of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Avi, the original bass went off to a solo career

Mitch has solo music too, if you want hear more from him specifically. He goes by the name of Messer solo. He released an EP last year. On that Angels Pray or Gasoline Tears are great ones for hearing his voice. It is very different from PTX, for one he uses instruments/production but it is also quite a retro dark 80s kinda vibe. Other good ones from Messer are Ready2Die and Love Supply. All can be found on KZread.

In this video, from left to right: * Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable. Matt is the new bass, who took over after Avi (pronounced Ah'-vee, emphasis on the first syllable, Kaplan left in 2017, due to illness in his family. We all miss Avi, but Matt is a wonderful singer who is quickly becoming spectacular. As you can hear, his range extends from the bass well up into the baritone. * Kirsten (AKA Kirstie - rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado. Kirsten is supposedly a mezzo soprano, but her actual range extends well down into the alto and upwards just as high as Mitch can go. * Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. His voice extends downward well into the bass range and upward into the tenor range. * Mitch Grassi, counter tenor. Mitch has a range of just over 6 octaves (not counting his whistle notes) and his voice has been described as "a once in a generation voice." It's also frequently called "angelic." Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men called it one of the prettiest voices he'd ever heard. * Kevin Olusola (the "s" is pronounced like an "sh"), beatboxer extraordinaire. Also a cellist, saxophonist, graduate of Yale pre-med, and speaker of five languages, including Mandarin. Kevin has a beautiful tenor voice with a gorgeous falsetto on top of it. He has developed a technique for beatboxing *while* playing the cello that he calls "celloboxing." Not to put too fine a point on it, Kevin is a genius.

hi can you react to these pentatonix songs new rules. havana. cheerleader. sing. shallow. the prayer. love again. daft punk. can you feel the love tonight. shallow. la la latch. gold. the feeling cant hold us they rap in it. avi left.

La La Latch is a favorite older song from PTX. If you watch PTX Christmas special from 2017 you can see that Scott takes over the low part when Avi (beanie guy) is singing.

The original Simon and Garfunkel was awesome, yes I was alive then🤭, you are right about Disturbed version being a little more ominous, and Pentatonix more uplifting ❤️👍

I agree with you about beautiful, clean voice my favorite member Mitch. He has 6 octave range. All of them are very talented good singers. Thank you for this reaction.

When you say you don't know adjectives to describe music, but that's how you "feel", THAT'S what music is.... how it makes you feel

I would rather hear someone talk about how music makes them feel than listen to all the technical talk. You NEED to listen to their Evolution of Michael Jackson! I love Mitch’s voice the most as well, and I recommend his solo cover of Your Power, their covers of Amazing Grace and The Prayer, and their live version of Joyful Joyful from Evergreen Experience.

I think you're spot on with your assessment of the differences in the two versions of the song. I think the feel of the Disturbed version matches the message in the lyrics. And this version is much more hopeful. Frankly, I think the only similarity between the two versions is the lyrics and otherwise they are like two different songs.

To me, Mitch is so perfectly both, male and female, that he completely resolves the gap between the genders. He just produces the most beautiful vocals humanity has to offer. Just beautiful.

I love this! Dimash is my fav individual singer, and Pentatonix has been my favourite group for a long time. My dad and I watched the Sing-Off, where they won the show, and then realized they were using social media to get more famous. You asked about their concerts:they are pretty big, and probably sold out most of the time. On my bucket list I want to see them.

"The Disturbed one was more, uh... disturbed." Lmao

remember they can do ALL of their songs live and they are impeccable

the voice you like is Mitch's and to hear the best of him, the song "the prayer" is excellent. he also created the superfruit with scot, and you'll have to hear "rise"

When you see more videos of them, you might me wondering whether Mitch or Kirstin are replaced as well. They change their looks very often. But it's always them. 😁 Only Avi left the group, as other people told you before.

Mitch's voice sounds like a bell ring in a silent room

It really is two different songs. Disturbed and PTX both did stunningly amazing jobs. Shows you how good the song is. Wins all the way around! Nice reaction

PTX Is a very big rabbit hole, welcome to the wonderful music they make.

Matt took over bass when he left the group in 2017. Scott the blonde guy has an Amazing range and he takes over bass when Matt or even when Avi sang.

Hello Valhalla, The first singer is Scott Hoying - he has a wide range and will cover the bass backing when the bass is singing. The second singer is Mitch Grassi - the voice of an angel, smooth as caramel, clear as a bell, clean as a whistle, the voice of a generation, a supreme counter tenor with immense vocal skill. Here he is using a lower register and he can climb the octaves right into the stratosphere. The third singer is Matt Sallee the bass that joined in 2017/18 and he replaced Avi Kaplan who left amicably after six years. The fourth singer is Kirstie Maldonado the soprano with a sharp belting voice. The fifth member is the beat boxer is Kevin Olusola a master beat boxer, you see him stopping, slapping, clapping and doing vocal percussion. This performance has amazing harmonies and the PTX signature wall of sound. Please react to The Prayer, Amazing Grace, Imagine, Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Come Along to get some variety and to see them all perform. BTW PTX just got nominated for Grammy #4 this week for their 2021 Christmas Album Evergreen. You have about 250 more songs to go in the PTX collection.

That's Matt, the new bass. He joined the band in 2018.

I LOVE THAT YOU DESCRIBE THE MUSIC WITHOUT TRYING TO GET TOO TECHNICAL , YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB AND YOUR REACTIONS ARE TRUE TO THE WAY IT MAKES YOU FEEL...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. AVI WAS THE GUY THAT IS MISSING, HE LEFT IN 2017 AND WAS REPLACED BY MATT...YOUR FAVORITE (AND MINE) IS MITCH AND YOU NEED A GOOD MITCH-SLAP CHECK OUT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, LOVE AGAIN, OR DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY...THEY WON A GRAMMY FOR THAT ONE ALONG WITH DAFT PUNK

If I were going to describe the different interpretations of "Sound of Silence," I would say the original by Simon & Garfunkel was a lament, Disturbed took that lament to a dark and ominous place, and Pentatonix has brought it closer to the original, but with more emotion, making it a fervent plea for change. I wouldn't call it happy, though the arrangement is certainly beautiful. You noticed that Avi is missing in this line-up. He left Pentatonix in 2017, and has since grown a solid solo career. As an "imaginary Viking," you will most certainly enjoy his original "Change on the Rise," and "All is Well" (7 Layers Sessions version).

Watch their rendition of Aha. Mitch's range will amaze you. The guy on the left is Matt, and he replaced Avi, who actually recommended him to Pentatonix. Pentatonix is able to flawlessly layer their voices.

Just wait until you react to 'The Prayer'. You're going to shit

I remember being confused the first time I watched hallelujah because ei couldn't figure out who the bass was. I thought it was avi, but there was bass when he sang. I assumed Kevin was backup bass until I heard him sing in amazing grace and realized he was NOT a bass... Then I saw this one and it suddenly made sense. I like listening multiple times and trying to listen for what each person is doing throughout the song. Parts of bohemian rhapsody are still bugging me. I think avi may be singing and doing wind at the same time. I feel like I hear 6 sounds....

For "gripping" try their Imagine and Say Something. Good, honest reaction.

I think of Simon & Garfunkel's version as the prophets telling us about the hard times to come. Disturbed is telling us about the hard times while they are happening. Pentatonix is telling us about the hard times that they have gone through and survived. They each tell the story from a slightly different place. S&G are part of my youth, so I still have a bit of preference for that one. But I have come to appreciate all three as great interpretations of this song.

For the ultimate "Mitch slap" here's a little skit Mitch and Scott did on their offshoot Superfruit channel where they performed a piece from the stage musical Wicked. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qJiCtctpZ7ebd7Q.html

You should check out Home Free and their version of Ring of Fire. I think you'll really like it. They are a country version of Pentatonix. And also check out Voice Play, they also do a capella with covers and medleys. Can't go wrong with anything from those three groups.

Highly recommend The Evolution of Music (its what made them popular on KZread), AHA (just an overall amazing sound), and their start on The Sing-Off cuz you see how far they've come from there. Also would love to see your reaction to Panic at the Disco with Brendons vocal range.

Scott (1st singer) has a 6 octave range...dudes amazing. Mitch(2nd singer) also has a 6 octave voice. Kirstin the 4th singer has a you guessed 6 octave range, Matt Sallee (3rd singer) has a 4.5 octave range. Kevin Olusola (beat boxer also has a 5 octave range. There has only been 1 change in the group and that is the bass Matt Sallee, took over for Avi Kaplan in 2017. Just those 5.kirstie and Mitch are chameleons and change their appearance A_LOT. I feel the 1st version (Simon and Garfunckle) was the rising of alarm, PTX is the Warning, Disturbed It is the bell tolling It Is Here! Love all the versions.

Pentatonix is one of 3 major Acapella groups the other 2 are Home Free and Voiceplay you should check them out and finish the trifecta.

Looks like you are ready for "Bohemian Rhapsody" now 😁

I love these guys

There is no good answer as to which version is better : Pentatonix or Disturbed, it's a matter of taste. I like them both but I do have a soft spot for PTX 🥰!

In order of appearance: Scott, Mitch, Matt, Kirsten and last but not the least is Kevin the beatboxer. The one not there is Avi.

I think comparing ptx vs disturbed versions are like comparing apples and oranges. Disturbed is angry and gritty and powerful, ptx is technical, beautiful in a terrible way, brilliant and dramatic. I don’t think you have to choose between them. I wouldn’t describe the ptx version as happy, tho. But you do you.

You don't have to understand the technical aspects of music to know how it makes you feel. And you did a fantastic job of describing that! Others have already explained the transition of bass singers, from Avi to Matt. Most of us love them both dearly, for different reasons. I also love TheStarkster's description of the 3 versions of this song and I agree 💯. Thanks for another great reaction, cheers!
