Yes! Scott regularly does that when their bass singer has a solo. Scott can cover a wide range from bass to tenor-ish, though baritone is his home territory. A good example of Scott doing this is their video of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," in which their new bass Matt (the only personnel change over the years) takes the lead throughout, and the constant close-ups show Scott holding down the bass line.

Best part about Pentatonix is: It doesn't matter who's lead at the moment - the others give their everything to support that lead. And the second they pass the lead to someone else, they get behind the new lead and don't try to keep the spotlight. The tall guy, young lady, and guy in the hat (aka Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch) also have been friends since childhood. The group, including both Avi and Matt, are as much a family as they are a group.

Mitch is nominally a contratenor, but with a 6 octave range he can sing bottom baritone as well as he can top tenor and even soprano.

An introduction to Pentatonix for you: Scott: the tall blonde guy in the middle with the first solo. He's the baritone of the group but has a range of about 4 octaves. He's just as comfortable harmonizing on the high notes as he is taking the bass line when Avi is singing. Speaking of which... Avi: the guy with the beanie and the second solo. He's an amazing opera trained bass and doesn't have many solo parts but he always kills it when he does sing. He left the group in 2017 on good terms with the rest of the members and helped find his replacement, Matt. Kirstin: the only female in the group, she had the third solo. She has the least solos of the main 3 that you'll find, but she always kills it when she does sing(examples are Say Something, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, all of which are among their best work) Mitch: He's the man with the amazing voice and the final solo in this song. He's a tenor, and has a purely angelic voice. He also has an amazing range, I've heard 5 octaves before. Kevin: an AMAZING beatboxer, that's his main role, but he occasionally shows off his beautiful tenor voice (Imagine is a great example) and his skills with the cello, which he can play while beatboxing simultaneously. Pentatonix got their start on an old competition show called the Sing Off where acapella groups competed against each other for a $200,000 cash prize and a recording contract. Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch sang in choir together in school and have been best friends since they were teenagers. They found Avi through a friend and Kevin through one of his "cello boxing"(playing the cello and beatboxing) videos that went viral. They won the competition, you can still find the performances on KZread. It's amazing to watch them grow throughout the show. Unfortunately, the record label dropped them shortly after they moved out to make music, so they persevered and self produced for a while until they were picked up by another label. They are the only acapella group to ever win a Grammy, and they have won 3: for their Daft Punk medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene ft. Dolly Parton. They're an amazing group, every one of them is one of the most talented singers in the world, and they have never released a bad song imo. Yes they do sound the same live, and yes it is all acapella. They never use instruments except for the occasional use of a cello when they feel it enhances the song (like their covers of Radioactive, Say Something, and Perfect). They have a rule that if they can't do it live they can't release it. I recommend all 3 songs above, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace, and anything else you want to hear! Their Grammy winners are all insanely good. I also recommend any of their original songs like Sing, Be My Eyes, Happy Now, The Lucky Ones, etc. Welcome to musical bliss!

@janices5389

Basically, if you don't see and instrument, it's their voices only. You will occasionally see Lindsey Sterling (violin) guest with them and they just released a new Christmas song 'Thank You' that has Scott playing piano (a first for them) and Kevin on the cello. There are also a few fan vids out there of concerts where the venue (like The Hollywood Bowl) basically required them to use at least parts of an orchestra - but, again, you will see the instruments if they do. I say all this because Avi is not only a fantastic bass, but can also do overtone singing - ie singing two notes at once. He uses it to good effect to create a very electronic synth type sound on some of their songs.

I love watching people hearing Mitch Grassi for the first time XD

Mitch came out of left field and has such an amazing voice!! I wasn’t prepared for that 😆

Mitch voice is not disappointing for sure! Love the various reactions, but EVERYONE has that reaction - Eyes don't believe your ears - Soprano talent, OMGGGGG!!! I get goose bumps.

Check out their live version of Halleluja,where they pull this off live in the same quality! Other recommendable songs are „sound of silence“, „daft punk“ and „Amazing grace“ (to name a few)

Thanks Philip for these recommendations. I think I've gotta check out the live version of this. They did so amazing!

@@MetalGuyReacts Seconding the motion! I saw someone in another comment recommend the live version of Hallelujah, and I'd like to add... try the the live performance of Daft Punk over here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqtou6WseLuxl6w.html. It's a private little performance done without mics and it's a phenomenal example of "Yes. They really are that good." even with cell phone recording quality.

Can I just say Avi's note when he sings moonlight is amazing!

This cover still gives me goosebumps. The video went viral in a week. It's so popular that, even if there's a storm and the show has to end early, they'll squeeze it in. PTX is unparalleled.

Change on the Rise = Avi Kaplan (ex Bass for PTX) Amazing voice.

Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rapsody , The Sound of Silence

Avi has an incredible range and his bass voice sends vibrations through my body. I wish I could do things like that.

Mitch has an 8 octave range! They are my favorite group! 🥰🔥🎶❤❄🤟✌🤘

Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! The guy with the crazy high voice is Mitch. Most people react that way to his voice, it's known as the Mitch face amongst the community. He has a 6 octave vocal range. The guy with the beanie left in 2017 and was replaced with Matt (who's birthday is today as of when im writing this!). If you want to see more songs like this one, I'd recommend their cover of Amazing Grace, and their originals Run To You and Light in the Hallway. If you want to see them cover different genres (they cover everything) I'd recommend their Daft Punk medley. It was recorded for $400 in a closet and kitchen and won them their first Grammy

They sing this live in their Christmas special. You’ll NEVER hear them sing off pitch in a live performance! 😊♥️

"Mitch face" is my new surprise reaction 😆

Couldn’t pick a better song to get you hooked!

They have terrific Christmas music as well! Mary did you know!

You did see Avi with Home Free. Scott often takes over bass when the bass has a solo. It is Scott. His range is incredible.

5:30 Congratulations! You've been Mitch slapped 😂

The three in the middle were in the same high school chorus which blows my mind. Their teacher can look back in pride at his decades long career for just developing their talent. Lol

Live performance of Sound of Silence is spectacular!

Tears pouring down my cheeks. Hits me in the heart every single time I see people react to this Pentatonix version of this song. ♥️👏♥️👏

You have been "Mitch slapped". I believe your face was one of the best ones at that point. He is a force of nature. Fun to see a first reaction to these guys. You will be a fan for life now. I promise.

Mitch really blew my mind! What a voice!!! I've always been a huge fan of tenors with sky high ranges. Geoff Tate is one of my favorites from the metal world :) Thank you for the comment Kerry! Hope you are having an awesome week!

Mitch, Kirsten, and Scott were friends in high school. They added Avi and Kevin so they could go and compete in Sing-Off, which they won back in 2003. That's how long they've been together. And they started off as friends who just liked to sing.

There are a few live videos, and they still sound insanely perfectly in tune with each other. There’s a live Christmas special of this one, an “Aha” live in Star Vista, and there’s a private performance of the Daft Punk medley, to name a few. You should definitely watch the official daft punk medley video first, to get the full effects, and see why they won their first Grammy for it

Love his facial expression when he saw Mitch singing lol Totally can relate

I never get tired of watching someone's first "Mitch Slap"!!

Ah, the glorious look of a person’s first Mitch-slap haha

Interestingly, this was shot in August in the desert. They had to keep redoing their makeup. When Avi is singing, Scott the first singer does bassline. Yep, you got the Mitch face when he started singing -- dude in the hat!

Their version of the Sound of Silence is one of the most awesome songs ever.

Ugh, I love it so much when Mitch catches people off guard 😂🥰

Nobody comes close to the greatness of Pentatonix!

More pentatonix please. They are awesome. More more more.

You had the breakdown of the group right. Kevin, the guy hitting his chest and stomping is their beat boxer/percussion and Avi, the one that you thought was the bass really is the usual bass singer. Scott, the one who started the song, takes over the bass when Avi sings lead. Mitch, the guy with the really high voice, is, to me, what allows them to have such a balanced sound. He can sing tenor or all the way up to messo-soprano. He gives the group another voice that can hit the notes that a female soprano would usually sing. Avi is no longer with them, a young man named Matt has taken over his place in the group and he's also hella talented. The one female in the group is Kirsten or Kirstie and she has a very powerful, emotional voice that didn't get to shine as much in this song. They have a rendition of "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" that is gorgeous and one of "The Sound of Music" that is also incredible. Oh, and that's their actual voices. They sound almost the same when they sing live. They really are an incredible group.

Pretty much spot on! :) Although I wouldn't say that Kirstie doesn't get to shine in this though... when I first heard this in Oct. 2016 when they released it, it was actually Kirstie's verse that gave me goosebumps. Then Mitch came in with the cherry on top of the sundae.

@@bill.godwin-austen I think she still shines, just not as much as she does in some of the other songs. That's just my opinion, though.

I love watching people react to Pentatonix. It is always the same. Blown away! You will be a big fan in no time.

As we say, you just got Mitch slapped! He's incredible.

Bass: Avi Kaplan, who has his own pursuit now, does an amazing “Otherside” solo, and his duo with Peter Hollens “ Black is the colour of my true love’s hair ” is mesmerizing!

Mitch and Scott also have a second channel, called superfruit, they also did some amazing stuff on there :)

Fun fact, the community sometimes uses the term "Mitch slapped" for the initial reaction people get when hearing Mitch's high notes.

Those goosebumps ... Holy Spirit. Beautiful
