The dance always just makes me giggle, especially after knowing their own feelings on it later! Also, I think it sounds messy to us now because we know what they can do now. But I think back then it was so ground-breaking in the genre that the fact that they were even doing it made it "perfect" to the judges.

Towards the end of the reaction you said you wondered if they ever go back to watch these, so I just wanted to let you know there's a Superfruit video where Mitch and Scott react to some of their Sing-off performances. It's so funny and interesting. You should check it out at some point, probably after you're done with these to avoid seeing anything you haven't seen yet.

Every time I see this performance it reminds me of Superfruit laughing at their “slide” dance and Avi jumping around at the end. 🤣

Sean’s comment about how good the show was that night reflects the fact that PTX had to immediately follow the Aires’s Who medley, which was easily the evening’s standout. This Britney medley was good, no doubt, but didn’t surpass the Aires. Unfortunately for the Aires, they never were as amazing again, whereas PTX just got better and better.

The Dartmouth Aires did a Queen medley (Killer Queen, BoRhap, and Somebody To Love). You might be thinking of the Aires' Pinball Wizard performance in episode 4. In season 1, another college a cappella group, the Tufts Beelzebubs, did a standout Who medley (Behind Blue Eyes, Who Are You, Baba O'Riley).

Yes. After watching the full sing off journey there are 2 must watch videos. First, the superfrit reaction. It's perfect. And also their guest performance on season 4 of I need your love. Such a beautiful "homecoming"

One of the things I enjoy about watching these is that they aren’t perfect. We’re so used to hearing them now-polished/produced, but this is all them and their raw talent on display. Yes they had a little help on the show, but they did the large majority of arranging themselves and you can see them getting better and better as they learn what works and what doesn’t. It’s really interesting and fun to watch.

I think this is one of my least favourite and did sound kind of messy but still 1000% better than I could ever do 😂 really enjoying watching your reactions to these episodes. Can't wait to see some of the ones to come and see you lose your mind haha

Avi and his Oompaloompa dance...🤣🤣🤣 I die laughing every time I see it. And, yeah, it sounded like a mess, because it was a mess. But, this is where it started. This is where they learned how to put songs that didn't really go together together, and set the stage for the medleys and evolution of... videos we see later on. They learned from this experience, and boy did they learn WELL, huh? And, it was less of a mess than what others were attempting to do. So, that set them apart, too. Sarah's verbal mess up toward the end of her comments? Her joke " I'm not drunk, I swear."? Do you remember when Paula Abdule got into so much crap on the set of Idol for being drunk on set? Same week. That's why the joke was so funny. When ya know, ya know, ya know? Lol.

You're almost there. The three best performances are coming up. #7 will blow you away; #10 let the rest of the groups know they were going to lose; #12 gave us our Mitch-slap moment and sealed the deal. #12 was the last performance where outside voting counted toward the finals. Thankfully, b/c they're first finale night performance (#13) was rife with technical difficulties.

You could hear a little of Avi's overtones in this one. You should look this up. So cool! He can sing two different notes at the same time.

You have to remember that the sound was mixed for the performance space, which is an auditorium. It wasn't mixed for a recording. That's why it sounds just a little weird in headphones lol this one wasn't my favorite of theirs, but the arrangement was still brilliant. Love these reactions!

I know what you meant. Kevin and Avi sounded louder/out of…. Synch?… volume wise at the end. There is a SF video where they react to a sing off performance. Mitch commented on how Low he sounded here and said ‘I don’t like it!’ I think that is him finding confidence in himself and his instrument, and not feeling like he had to lean in to a lower voice. He owns his high range now.

Loving your reactions to their Sing Off performances. Can’t wait to see the final episodes. As you have noticed, they just keep getting better and they are pretty good already. It is hard to believe they only met and performed together one or two days before their audition. 💕💕

This was the superstar Mashup challenge. Though I don't love this performance, I think this is where they found their sweet spot

Very true I can def see that

Delilah is the all female group. They nailed quite a few of their performances including the Lil Wayne track, the Alicia Keys medley, Grenade by Bruno Mars and Dream On by Aerosmith. Those are all I can remember off the top of my head 12 years later.

I have always loved PTX. But my favorite sing off show was the one with Home Free and The Filharmonics doing I'm Alright from Caddy Shack.

Yes, they've watched this. Scott and Mitch are most disapproving of the clothes they made them wear. Mitch in particular is more concerned over a hat they put on him than what he sang. "Oh my God, can you believe I let someone put that on my head? I was so nervous about getting out there on stage I didn't even know what they were doing."

As I said before, that last group was Delilah. Their best performance was Grenade by Bruno Mars. Definitely worth a listen. Amy is an amazing singer. It's pretty cool to see a really good female beat boxer too. (Gina) Yes, I watched the Sing Off and loved it. I cried when they canceled it. It's been a privilege to watch Pentatonix and Home Free grow through the years. I love them both. I miss some of the other groups too though.

I love Delilah's version of Grenade. I go and hunt it down all the time.

7th , 10th, 12th are my favorites. So good!

One last comment! There was a really good acapella podcast at the time that had one of its hosts working as a staff arranger on the show this season. His cohost visited him and watched a taping somewhere around this point of the season, and they recorded Christopher”s non-spoilery stories of working on the show, including an excellent breakdown of the typical weekly schedule for the groups. They taped on Fridays, so Saturday morning, they would start working on their song(s) for the next show, which included the group performance featuring all of the groups who were remaining. They were left to themselves to get those done, with the staff arrangers assisting them if needed, then on Tuesday they had to perform their songs for the producers to see if they needed significant overhauls or even change their song choice, like PTX did with Believe/Video Killed. On Wednesday, they got their choreography and costume fittings and would then just finesse until the Friday morning dress rehearsal and then the afternoon/evening taping. Oh, and at some point, they would be driven to their location for the video package taping, which was always someplace picturesque, or at least more interesting than the Doubletree they were staying at.

The all-female group was Delilah. They only lasted one more episode. The judges had so many groups to get through even at this point of the season that, if your performance was just meh instead of truly bad, you were able to skate through to the next week. But, the judges’ comments would let you know that you had to up your game if you wanted to stay. Interesting, if telling, fact-Kirstin was the only woman out of five winners of the show, which reflects the overwhelming dominance of all-male acapella groups in the genre.

My least favorite performance, but in context to what the other groups were doing, their innovation stood out every time. 7, 10, 12 are so good. I liked 11 too. The most 'musical theatre' based of them all. Thanks for reacting to these!

Superfruit has a video where they went back and watched some of their Sing Off performances.

One thing I’ve noticed listening to this after I watched it on nbc way back is that the recording does not handle Avi’s bass well. His voice can kill an amp anyway, but it did sound better in the original recording for air.

I honestly feel like you should see some of the other groups. I watched this entire scene play out when it originally aired. The entire time I was thinking, "The other groups are good, but Pentatonix is so far beyond them all. There is just no contest." I keep hearing you say you want to check the others out, but trust me, even on their best night, no other group came close.

The next best group here was the Dartmouth Aires. This week, the Aires did a medley of Queen that will blow you away. The girl group was Delilah. All performances are on KZread.

Just wait until their Florence and the Machine performance 😳🤯😵‍💫

I watched these all live on tv when they started. Were they are now blows my mind. I love them so much

Saucy Dad thank you sooooo much for doing these reactions. I was one of those pushing you to do them. You may not believe this but it only gets better from here all the way to the 12th performance. You have a few coming up that our some of the best live performances I have ever seen from any artist ever. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

Hello Saucey Dad, Thank you for diligently going through the PTX Sing Off performances. So good to see their young talent and how they have grown.

Watching your face makes me smile. So early on, and soooo much going on. It’s mindblowing.

Got to say, I watch alot of reactors. You are my favorite. It's genuine as well as current. Most that I have seen, are like yrs ago. Thank you for what you do. Smiles are worth more than anything on earth

There is a YT Superfruit video in which Scott & Mitch watch some old sing-off performances - very entertaining & imformative.

Hmm.. I can't say it didn't suck, but it wasn't aaahhhhh. I never fell in love with Britney, but Toxic is def badass. PTX deserves their success, they truly worked their asses off to get where they are.

This was not their best performance. Avi and Kevin saved the day.

It's one of my favorites just because I love those particular Brittany songs.

the all girl group is called Delilah. You should check out their first performance. Grenade, and they were fabulous. Oh, and do you truly want to get Mitch slapped? Check out their version of Can't Hold Us. You WILL get Mitch Slapped.

Saucy PentaFries... sounds delicious!

Get the unicorn hat ready, #7 is next!

Superfruit (Scott and Mitch) did a reaction to a compilation of some of their sing off performances. You should check that out

Beta version of the incredible mash-ups we get to enjoy in the future 🤯❤️🙌

Loving your reactions to these, watching their journey. No 7 is one of my absolute favourites, so I’m excited to see what you think of that one

This is not one of my favorites by any means, but I can still appreciate their talent. Sometimes the songs just don't fit well with anyone but the original artist. I know they haven't really touched Taylor Swift (Superfruit tried one time). Never enjoy when reactors get to this one. It's like a lull in their momentum, in my opinion. Thank you for doing these Sing Off performances!

At some point, on or off camera, it's worth watching the competition (mrduckbear has them on his channel). Pentatonix was groundbreaking in the idea of seamless transitions and a full mashup at the end. Up till then, groups would perform medleys more as just three songs one after the other without connection.

Probably somebody has already told you--but if you search for "sing off Delilah 6th performance Alicia Keys" you will find that. You might also like my favorite of Delilah's--their first performance, Bruno Mars's "Grenade."

The PTX Sims effect 🤣

I would love it if you checked out a few of the other groups, even if you don’t actually react to them. You would get a sense of what the other groups are doing and how they react to the criticism of the judges. Maybe even wait a few more episodes and see the stronger groups.

I thought Kirstie came across sharp. I think she has been the 1 who has improved the most since then..... Scary to say 😂 Scott & Mitch in a super fruit video went back & watched.

Please watch superfruit reacting to the sing off when you’re done watching all the performances!

Your brain being 'melted into jello' as you put it @11:52 is called Pentaphasia. It's a term (Pentatonix + aphasia) meaning a PTX induced loss of ability to express or understand speech. Reactors can be particularly susceptible to this condition.

I agree with you on this one. It wasn’t sounding as good as the other ones but I guess it’s from the audio quality of the video. I know you have a bunch of Patreon requests but I hope you’ll eventually do a run of the Home Free Sing Off performances with the Judges comments. I realize you already reacted to their songs but I don’t think you saw the ones with the judges comments. Seeing these groups from their beginnings is a lot of fun.

It sounds messy to me, too. My feeling with this performance was that they were just trying to pack too much into 2 minutes. Sometimes less is more. But at this point in their development they don't know how many more chances they will have to create the shock and awe that has become a signature part of PTX. Their next performance is one of my faves of all time.

My favorite part is when Mitch goes Mep Mep Mep. You will have to watch the Superfruit episode where they watch clips from the show. They had a hard time watching some clips.

Agree, the ending mashup sounded really messy to me as well. Glad in real time it paid off. Kirstie killed it and looked so sassy! Because I'm new to the Sing Off, I'm looking forward to Mitchie's moment... gotta be coming soon.

Every band had to do the same things. Pentatonix was not making up their own ideas. Every band did a medley. I commented about Stockman on the last episode. This time here is a bit about another one if the judges. Ben Folds is a musical genius. He is the Artistic Director for the Kennedy Center. Try this clip - Folds composes a Song Live for Orchestra in 10 Minutes. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dK2ot7uYcdq6hdY.html

Agree...I don't think the tv transferred all the sounds back then...audio difficulties.

Have you had the chance to react to any PTX Official Videos that are mashup of two or more songs? This number was the beginning of something they're now known for .. "evolution of.. " and mash-up arrangements! I highly recommend (and request) two videos: "La La Latch" - (an Avi Era mashup) and "New Rules x Are You That Somebody" - Matt's 2nd Official PTX Video I THINK They are AMAZING mash-ups and official videos. Thank you! I Love your reactions SO much! ♥

Not a favorite performance, but still very skillful. One thing this group can do, at least for me, is make me like music I would probably not listen to otherwise. I am 72, and have always been about harmonies and lyrics. These guys have both in spades.

Did you do their 1st cover after the sing off? Goyte cover of Somebody that I used to know

There’s a Superfruit episode where they watch clips…

So out of the all the performances, this one is my least favorite. That being said, it was still amazing how they mashed all the songs up!

Lol umm I'm sorry to tell you SD you won't be hearing Alecia Keys mash up from them anytime soon I promise. On one of the superfruit episodes they say something to where you can tell they aren't fond of her. Correct me if I'm wrong pentaholics please

Shawn's comments bothered me. No mention on kirsty's singing.... just her dress! And let's not forget she was 19 when they took part in this. Made him seem a bit creepy

Um... no judging here...

Don't worry, SD, this is frequently regarded as the weakest of the series. Kirstin describes it as "horrifying" and Mitch suppressed all memory of doing it. After you finish this, please watch the Superfruit episode where they go back and look at their Sing off days.

My least fav performance. too jarring on the ears....And why did Scott have to take over the lead?? It was a Britany song and Kirsty was doing fine...his voice was too heavy ....ah well we all know how it turned out lol

Im loving the content overload. It is so much fun!!! Just please make sure not to burn yourself out bc obviously that can happen and you being my new favorite reactor, I would be so sad. I sent you a DM on Instagram. I hope you see it and I hope you aren't getting tired of my comments;
