@rhonda parsley, that’s great and I’m glad you and you’re family love PTX as much as I do. I wish your son and his wife lots of luck back on stage.

I swear this video should be subtitled "Where's Kevin?" Every single reviewer asks. During Avi's insane bass drop, you see Mitch move to the center of the stage, Scott follows him and Kevin comes onstage at the right. Unfortunately, after Mitch takes over, the person making this video never shows the whole stage again. But all that rattling and popping and whooshing is Kevin going off. I've seen other live performances of this, but this one tops them all. By the way, the high falsetto riff just before Mitch says "One, two, three" is actually Scott!

Kevin is doing the beat, he’s on stage, just came on later so isn’t on camera.

"I'm not a professional, but..." Dude, you still know your stuff. Makes the reactions all the more enjoyable for me.

Kevin was putting away his cello in the beginning, that’s why they did a choral piece before the song. When Aha starts the others have moved up to make room for him - you don’t see him cause the person filming didn’t zoom out again :)

@Misty Shaw Yep. Not to mention, have seen other performances of this & Kevin looks out of place just standing there during the entire beginning. Of course, he could have just joined in one of the parts & sang too, having a great voice as well.... but I get why he comes in later. Makes sense for many reasons. :) Even as a lifelong vocalist, this is prob the best, most unique, perfectly timed, holy #$@#@# thing I've EVER listened to. + BEST version of..... Even w/ the blown out speaker & not greatest recording quality. Prob why I've listened to it, idk.... a few hundred times by now over the years. Simply AMAZING imho. :) Stay safe & be well.

Everyone gives Mitch love. And I'm over hear going nuts for Avi's bass throughout the whole song.

THIS. they were (for me) what made PTX so special. everyone in PTX is amazing, but Mitch and Avi are just next level; one of the best basses and one of the best tenors in the world combined in one group.

Can we talk about incredible vocal control and breath control.

Your face when Avi hit that low note, LOL!

Kevin was busy putting his Cello away. That’s why after Avi hits that crazy note and the camera pans back out, Mitch is a lot closer to Kirstie than he was before because Kevin came back on stage and stood on the other side of Scott. You can also hear him beatboxing in the background

Wasn't that fun? They are just so in sync. People joke that Mitch must have had an extra energy boost drink that night (he really does drink it). It takes lots of physical energy to open up and reach those high notes.Doing a riff going into it helps also. I love all the members of PTX but Mitch is really special. If you've watched some of the Superfruit videos with them doing Broadway tunes, you heard how Mitch has a voice that would work well on Broadway. He used to do live theatre when younger.

From what I read Mitch was really jet-lagged and chucked 2 red bulls back-to-back during the break. These kicked in when they performed and he just went crazy. Also in the beginning you can hear Avi shred the locations sound-system so only PTX own speakers were really working

There is a quick piece with Scott and Mitch, where Scott is writing something with a magic marker and Mitch parrots the squeaks from the marker perfectly in perfect pitch. It was just a spur of the moment sort of thing.

"My concerns are gone." I love this! Every time!

You are the best of all those I’ve seen that do music reviews because you actually care about the music. Your comments are so much more than “OMG or GD” which are crude.

YES, that is a must, especially Kiiara's first, to see Mitch's fabulousness.

I've seen this song performed at a concert and when Avi hits that low note I felt it in my soul.

Here is the story of this video as I've heard it: the song previous to this was a Kevin cello solo. The rest of the group was backstage during the solo, and Mitch, who was suffering from jet lag, quickly downed two Red Bulls. The group returned to the stage to begin the choral introduction while Kevin was backstage putting the cello away (which is why he's not seen onstage at the beginning). Kevin returns to the stage (not seen on camera) just as Avi hits that low note that begins the downfall of the Star Vista's sound system. The camera zooms out as Avi starts singing the intro to Aha. A sly smile can be seen on Kirstie's face, as if she knows what's about to happen. Just then, Mitch's Red Bulls kick in...and he proceeds to go completely INSANE on stage, while Avi continues to JOYOUSLY shred the sound system in the background. And thus, the live performance that most Pentaholics now consider to be the best of the group's career...made even more legendary by the fact that it apparently was only captured by this fan-made video!!

And THIS is why Pentatonix is The Best. The timing and tempo is extremely difficult and they did it flawlessly and with ease.

Yeah, the rumbling is Avi going so low he's blowing out the speakers, & despite Kevin being cut out of view people recommend this one so much because it's such a great performance by Mitch & Avi!

im a simple person i see Pentatonix - Aha!, Singapore reaction i click

Kevin was a part of it. You'll see a space between Kirstie and Mitch in the beginning of the video but just when they go to focus on Avi you catch Mitch moving over and for the rest of it he is next to Kirstie. Kevin was putting his cello away and they started the Hymnal to give him a few minutes to get back, then Avi drops that low note to start the song and you can hear all of Kevin's wonderful sounds you just don't see him because the person shooting focused on Mitch. And yes, that was Avi, he went so low the mic failed. LOL Mitch has an AMAZING, sick, vocal range. Check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/imiNzK-Emq_RipM.html

I love how you give Avi credit for his awesome bass notes.....I always felt he wasn't given enough credit for his amazing talent. Mitch is just so talented....best ever live performance .....

Thanks for taking the time to acknowledge Avi's low notes. A lot of times I see people only focusing on Mitch's part of the performance. Rightfully so he is amazing, but Avi set the tone for this performance and his foundation allowed the others especially Mitch to build on top of it. They both deserve a lot of praise and I'm glad that you gave Avi props.

I'm a couple years late, but the sheer number of things that went into this performance to make it so phenomenal... they added Christus Factus Est to the beginning so Kevin would have a chance to put his cello away from the previous song, as he was no longer needed for the intro. Avi's low note in the transition from Christus Factus Est to Aha literally damaged the Star Vista sound system, as did his ensuing bass line throughout the song, which is why the sound quality from his mic is just shredded near the end. Mitch, suffering from severe jet lag, had drank two entire Red Bulls back-to-back during a break before this song, and right as they transitioned into Aha is when they kicked in, which led to his insane performance; you can see the smile on his face before the lights cut at the end and he knows he killed it. I love this group so much.

This is why Pentatonix is The Best.

When he was shocked when Mitch said “Caught” the first time really high I was like, “Just wait.”

Kevin was off stage beatboxing because he and Avi on stage together, they kept blowing the speakers. Loved your reaction by the way.

We pentaholics just love to see when a new pentaholic borns (becomes) starts being a pentaholic 😍🥰

As a high soprano, I always find it interesting when i choose Mitch’s notes over Kirstin’s. She’s fabulous but i just have a higher range. And there aren’t many male singers that i want to sound just like... Mitch is one of them. It’s also why i adore a really amazing bass. I can’t get anywhere near there so i appreciate the natural and nurtured talent.

Wasn't sure how I'd like reaction videos but... My concerns are gone. You give me a new understanding of Pentatonix. thanks

Loving these Pentatonix reactions...please keep them coming because there are soooo many. Maybe watch Hallelujah their live Christmas special if you want to see how amazing they work together live. Your reactions to thus were exactly like mine, (I hit rewind on Mitch's highs numerous times & I never get tired of this performance because it's so incredible.

The beginning piece is Christus Factus Est by Anton Bruckner. They actually sang it as written by Bruckner - including Avi's first low note. They did change the key down from the original d minor to c minor to allow Avi to display his amazing range.

Wow! That was the first time I heard that song. Wow

Watching you react to Pentatonix is like watching them for the first time all over again. Aren't they amazing?

I am really enjoying your reactions to pentatonix.

This isn’t my first time seeing your reactions I this, but I have to say that the fact that you reacted to the intricate syncopation and that minor harmonic note by Scott had me swooning. So awesome that you caught that.

Kevin is putting away his cello -named Beyonce - while they are doing their "opera moment" because before this song, he played cello whilst beatboxing deemed 'celloboxing,' in a big solo section.

Wonderful expressions ! This is from Imogene Heap. PTX is fabulous and we Pentaholics LOVE them ! Interrupt all you want, we have heard it and want your reactions ! Everything they do is excellent, powerful and riveting. Thank you.

Their rendition of "Telephone" at the Singapore, Star Vista is like a sister video to this one. Interesting thing about the Telephone cover is that it was their audtion piece for The Sing Off. The trio, Kirstie, Mitch and Scott, arranged the song while they were still in high school (there's also a video of the three of them covering the song when they were 18). The cute thing about the Star Vista performance is the very beginning where Avi and Kevin have a little bromance moment. It's almost as if you can hear them saying, "It's even better with us!"

If you want another of their live performances check out their version of silent night.

ryanbran03 ahhhh...Yes!!!! I love the Live performance of “Silent Night” as well. They sound so perfect, and the arrangement is so different and absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorites to request reactors to watch around the holidays!! 🥰

Thanks for sticking to Pentatonix for now! There's so much to react to with them. I would recommend that you stick with the headphones - lots of Pentaholics swear that it's the best and only way to appreciate acapella songs. Also, if you feel like showing your dog more, feel free. For some reason, most of us love seing people's pets.

Watch "natural disaster" live. You will not believe how low Avi reaches. Watch out for your speakers, though. They could blow if it's too loud.

Yes yes yes Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy next!!! "My concerns are gone" LOL you know you gotta say that every time now.

I really love that you give your expectations before you experience the music! And your catch phrase is completely merch worthy. Haha

When they started, they were concerned they would sound like they were putting on a choir concert.

My daughter and I have seen them live few years back. I've cried almost through the whole show. They were absolutely mind blowing.

Such an amazing performance and I know you enjoyed it but you looked horrified though a good bit of it. I think I laughed as much at your reaction as I loved the performance of Pentatonix. AWEsome!!

Definitely time for merch!!! I agree with another commenter... "My concerns are gone" would be good but a screenprinted shot of the face you made at Avi's low note would be even better!!

Your facial expressions are priceless. I love your reactions!

In the previous song, Kevin had been playing his cello. He was putting it away at the start of the video, which is why you don't see him on stage. Others have already explained exactly when he returned to the stage.

I give all of them praise, is the way they all support each other.

Your expression when Mitch went to the high note was priceless! You looked so stunned. I didn’t know that was in his mixed range! Thx for the info.

Pentatonic have been my favorite group for 5+ years. They never fail to amaze me! Kyle you are doing a great job...

This is my favorite live performance video!

What a great way to start my day. Loved this reaction!

And THIS is why Pentatonix is The Best.

Holy crap! What a low note! THEY ARE SOOO GOOD!

If you want to hear more of their live performances, you should go back to the very beginning and listen to their "Sing Off" videos. They got their big start competing on the Sing Off (a vocal competition just for A Capella groups), so there are several different genera that they had to arrange and they are all live performances. It really showcases their talent as a group, especially since they hadn't been together very long as a group before competing.

I just love watching people discover PTX, even if acapella isn't your style, I think anyone with the slightest ear for music can appreciate what they do ❤️ Also, Kyle, you're great! It's nice to see such genuine, honest reactions. And I like your hat 🙂

In case no one mentioned, Mitch had two Red Bulls just before this... And Avi blew at least one speaker with his low note.

As you can tell, when Mitch starts crawling on the floor, everyone goes wild! I think he’s become the favorite member of PTX! Even us being straight, I see sooooo many girls are in love with Mitch- me included! ❤️

The mid song bass drop Avi did, blew out a speaker set which was why it sounded rough at the end.

PLEASE! I have yet to see anyone react to this- it’s a LIVE version of their original song Natural Disaster. Avi’s bass in in recorded song is a G1- but live he goes down a half step to F#1 and shakes the whole stadium. Someone put a comparison video together called “[PTX] Avi hits F#1 live”. You have to WATCH OUT not to blow out your speakers/headphones. Yes really.

I loved your reaction. One of my favourite bits is when Mitch starts going up to the notes in the stratosphere - you kinda jerk backwards as though you are expecting Mitch to leap out the screen and bitchslap you. Lol. That man has got some serious power in his voice.

Gold. Listen to Gold if you want to hear something cool from Mitch, Kirstie, and Scott. Plus you really get a good taste of Kevin's stuff.

Had to keep rewinding back to the bit when you reacted to Avi's really low note.. love it, and shows exactly how it hits you the first time you hear it. Loving your reactions, so knowledgeable and appreciative of good music. Keep them coming please ❤️

Love your reviews of this extremely talented group and your comments are so right on. Can you believe Mitch once said in an interview that he was ridiculed as a youngster because of his voice? Wonder what those people think now? :-) He is one of the most talented people I have ever seen - in fact, each of the members of this group are so talented, it is amazing to see this much talent in one group.

I love Pentatonix they just so amazing

Aha! was a song by Imogene Heap, but Mitch killed it! If you get a chance, go see them live! They put on a great performance. I've seen them twice, and will go again if I can.

Omg you're like the only guy I didn't skip the intro and head straight to the video. It's nice listening to someone who's so authentic and genuine!

That was one of the best reactions ! Every viewer was waiting for that low note ..and it was worth every second :) I saw them live in Toronto....it was absolutely amazing!

This is how they are always live.

Great reaction! I’ve seen two of their concerts live and bought the VIP passes, so I’ve heard the private performances they do for VIP guests. They are as good live as in the studio. My understanding is that they don’t record anything that they can’t do live. Keep up the PTX reactions, please.

I enjoy your videos so much! It's great to watch someone discover ptx for the first time and be amazed !

Kevin was putting his cello away at the start here. When the camera shifts to Avi the rest shift to their right as Kevin comes on, but the camera is glued to Mitch so you never see him. And yes, those rumbles are Avi. He's blown speakers going so low.

It is always nice to see people to hear Mitch's iconic Aha! performance. Yes, they are that good! Even better now and they added choreo and huge production to their shows.

Yay!!! You did this video!! Avi is amazing in this video, just as much as mitch. Sound of silence is great and also shows off the new member Matt.

The sound is iffy because someone recorded it on there phone. He was there putting his cello away. He still takes part. ❤

Kyle......I ah no idea you were so knowledgeable with musical terms. #(head voice / chest voice / mixed) I thought you were like a lumberjack or something. You are like a renaissance man. love your channel.....more Pentatonix and Superfruit, please. Thanks!!

Avi is a classically-trained opera singer and you can hear it come through at the beginning. I'm sure that somehow contributes to him being able to hit such low notes.

You can hear Avi's bass in a couple of non-PTX performances, as well. Avi and Home Free doing Ring of Fire, and Avi with Peter Hollens, Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair.

their cover of Sound of Silence would be another good one to react to

I absolutely love watching your reactions dude. You're so genuine. Watching your exitement makes me fall in love with ptx all over again! I'm going to the them live in a few months for the first time and i couldn't be more exited!

I've seen them live and they are that good in person, sound just like you hear in the videos.

Your face is majestic at the low note. I love it! I had the same reaction.

I want that Tshirt too: my concerns are gone!

I've always wondered if that "purr" you hear right before the bridge is a beat by Kevin or Avi almost blowing out the sound system.

Absolutely love pentatonix. Love your reactions. Cant wait for the next pentatonix reaction

Can you please react to Pentatonix The Sound Of Silence or else Where Are You Christmas, love your videos keep up the good work 😁

Kevin was there and together with Avi they gave it depth and power..

I wounder if they ever get exhausted or have a bad day... I can not imagine all the work they put in but i never see them looking like they do not want to be there... they always look like they are having a blast!

Home Free! Home Free! Home Free! Really want you to check them out. Butts Remix, Ring of Fire, Man of Constant Sorrow..any of their stuff really. Great group of guys.

This song was written by Mitch & Scott for Mitch. Kevin is waiting to do his solo with his cello that's why he's not on stage. This, Cracked & Water are original songs written by PTX.

I am LOVING your reactions! Love listening to your comments and insight. You nice, keep going!

Mitch's high notes are impressive, but what I think is more impressive, and what I've never heard mentioned in reactions, is the trill right before the high notes. So much control. Crazy good.
