Both PTX and Dolly won in the performance category of country group/duo at the Grammys last year for "Jolene." Great reaction.

Dolly Parton wrote ‘Jolene’ in 1974. This was the first Grammy she got for it! And by the way, Dolly Parton is 71.

"what ever Avi was doing" ha ha. He was doing Avi. Dolly is adorable. Yes they did win a Grammy for this one.

I agree, Pentatonix has equal parts singing talent and taste, humility, arranging ability, individual star power and sheer decency. It makes for a heady mix for us fans.

The perfect description!!!!

"Theres always sadness in great stuff" wow that's a quote

This song won PTX their third Grammy. This got Dolly the 4th in 4 decades (1 Grammy each of the last four). The original arrangement didn't have a PTX lead, but Dolly insisted they take a verse. Great reaction as always.

Avi KILLED it in this one... Awesome reaction. They know how to arrange music very well, and they seem to instinctively know who suits a specific part. Musical geniuses is what I say!

A great reaction, again! Yes, they did win their 3rd Grammy, last year, for this. And also you said, they did deserve it. This is the only collaboration they have done that I really like. It’s just so great!

Samantha Gerbrandt No, I didn’t.

Great reaction, as usual! Yes, they won a grammy for this, with Dolly. I don't know how they combined old school country with a modern feel, but they did. And Avi's bass line - wow!

Love Avi in this song. He was perfection! I miss him. I know the new bass Pentatonix has is good but I will always miss Avi.

He was always my fav... his bass does things to me lol

Generosity on both sides. PTX respected their guest soloist and weren't pushy; they kept their background vocals impeccable but not showy. And Dolly insisted that they sing a verse, and was content to move to the background herself. And they collaborated to create the best "Jolene" ever.

@Honeysuckle Blossom Yes, I love that moment! And the way Dolly grins, hops, and holds out her hands for Scott and Kirstin. She's wonderful, in every way.

OK...I gave in and listened to Pentatonix, just because of you two. :-) I don't mean I don't like them. I do. I just don't have TIME to listen to them very often. You have now probably started a temporary landslide, which will mean than I'm up even later than usual every night (I mean early morning)...sigh. Thanks, guys! LOL

They did win their 3rd Grammy for this. And every collaboration they've done, they arrange it in such a way which allows the guest to shine. This is my fav collab they've done. And I agree with what you said about their priorities when arranging a track. That makes it clear why their arrangements are some of the best, often sounding better than the original when they arrange covers. They pick their parts so articulately. And Avi in this 😫😍 Loved the reaction. I really want you guys to check out Superfruit's Empire Medley and Scott's cover of Creep with Caitlyn Notey.

OMG!!! Avi, Avi, Avi!!! Two sounds that are beyond belief...Pentatonix and Dolly! I'm totally destroyed! Really fine reaction. Am I mistaken, or was this performance done live and in ONE TAKE?

the thing I like about you guys is that you get Pentatonix. You mentioned Kirstie. To me she has the purest singing voice of all of them. But sometimes it is lost because she is doing the harmonies. And you are right about the arrangements. Sometimes they are just simple arrangements, but always with an added little twist. Great reactions guys

I'm glad they mention Kirstin, too. I've always thought of her as the anchor of the group. The bass can switch between vocalizing and singing, Scott can do his riffs and Mitch soar because Kirstin holds it all together and reinforces whatever is going on.

Loved seeing your faces react to Avi's bass! Please react to PTX's cover of Thrift Shop - it's live and hilarious!

I have never been a fan of this song, but Pentatonix turn everything into gold. Would love to see you react to PTX "Radioactive," "Problem," "Save the World/Don't Worry Child," "New Years Day," "Light in the Hallway (live)," "Water (live)," and "Nature Boy/Baddest Girl (live)" as well as Kevin Olusola"Renegade," "Stay With Me" and "Sign of the Times" AND Kirstin "Bad Weather." I know that is a long list but You are my favorite Pentatonix reactors! Someday hopefully you will get to hear all of their music.

That was Scott and Kirstie doing the duet. Love you guys. 🤣🤣

Lindsey B i agree with you lindsey! scott started the part yes but kirstie joined him and it was very great! avi nailed it again! thanks guys for another great reaction!

Scott said they had to re-write the arrangement a bit to accommodate their voices and she LOVED it, took notes to make sure she could keep up with them, what a lovely woman. EVERYTHING they touch is incandescent

PTX songs featuring Kirstie, Rather Be, Perfume and Water (no official video for Water). There might be a live video of Water. Please add these to your PTX list. Love you guys!

Great reaction guys! Whenever they colab the always let the guest shine and make a perfect stage for an amazing performance. Keep on keepin on J.

Y'all crack me up and bring me so much joy!! I love your personalities. Great reactions🚀👍👍

Yep, PTX focuses so much on the song instead of the personal ego. And knowing how much talent all 5 (6) have, it would be so typical for someone to ruin it. But not in this case. They all nail every part. Every. Time.

Happy that u two reacted to this one

I've been watching you guys for the last few days. I love your reactions so much!

Love watching these reactions so much!

she is a national treasure and remember, SHE wrote I Will Always Love You, she's written over 3000 songs

They sang it on The Voice with dolly and Miley Cyrus. I guess Dolly Parton is Miley's godmother? I never knew that. But Scott got more of a solo in that performance and Miley sang and of course dolly. It was really cool seeing Scott on National stage singing about not taking his man! I think it's first time Scott saying about a man as a love interest. It was really cool. I remember thinking he went there yeah! Good for you Scotty! I thought it was really cool that he had an icon like Dolly Parton singing beside him when he performed it as written. Didn't change "my man" to "my girl" or "him" to "her" etc. Dolly was a guest star on their first Christmas Special on NBC in late 2016! I love her too!

You need to check out their song called Water. It features Kirsty on the vocals

Yep, that was an Emmy Award winning performance. They support and enhance Dolly's performance so well. And she is ageless!!!

I am blown away that Dolly is 72 years old. Her voice is just the same.. thank you for sharing **smiles**

Great reaction. Love that collaboration.

Yas!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAASE React to "WHERE ARE U NOW", "PROBLEM", "RATHER BE" by Pentatonix !!!! These are my favorite!!!

You're so spot on. Couldn't agree more.

In an earlier reaction, you've mentioned going into a type of "Avi" withdrawl so I offer this: "Avi Kaplan - 'Summertime'" ; Man of Constant Sorrow ; Wonderwall (Oasis Cover). The first song is available on The Spaulding Sessions channel, the other two courtesy of Viola Love's channel Enjoy!

Love the reaction

i loved the ways your eyes spoke volume and guys the smiles.

They won their 3rd Grammy for that performance!!!

As you love Scott's voice that much, you should react to "I should tell your mama on ya" by him :)

My only complaint, too short! Hard to believe Dolly Parton was 70 years old when they did this. 70!!! In awe. LOL

Hey would you please do react Pentatonix 'standing by' ? Avi lead the vocal There 😊

Love your ptx reactions!! May I suggest pappaoutai (where they sing in french!!), a live version of valentine and a video that’s called “pentatonix random singing/jammin on the fly” Love this channel!!

watch their performance of the dog days are over on the sing off!! it's their best performance on that show imo (:

@4:17 Dolly Parton's voice is truly angelic!

Darn, I just now found this even though I have clicked on the reaction bell. Happens too often but I get neat surprises like this one. You guys are my favorite reactors so keep up the good work. Spoiler alert, the next "Sing Off" performance features Kirstin as lead.

She was great live . Live her go Dolly

Their 3rd Grammy!!!

I like PTX collabs because they don't have to make it "all about them." They can be humble and let someone else shine in a piece. They are committed to the music, first and always.

Thank YOU. Some people complain that they want to hear more of someone. But for example, Kirstin is the bell tones that are so important. Without those the entire song fails. She almost is the Pentatonix sound

Marco you need to come to Nashville. Dolly lives behind me!

Dolly is in her 70s! PTX is simply amazing with being nice, kind, and absolutely nailing small details that makes them so special.

who else would perform for 90 seconds, as presenters and receive a standing ovation P T X!!

There’s a live version of this with Miley Cyrus on the voice if you guys want to check it out !

They won a Grammy for this after all!

Yepp, and the one live performance on Voice is even better ^^ that was a BOP there (or how people say nowadays X) ) [I believe this official vid is live too]

Yay another one

Another Grammy!

React to Pentatonix “Attention” came out TODAY. It’s the JAM!

LOVE you guys!! This song is amazing! Please react to Superfruit Defying Gravity!! You will love it Marco & Ali!!

You should react to the Nor´Easters Fools cover! it is an incredible acapella performance.

Dolly is 72 now and I love her. So she's had some work who cares. No one better than her.

They performed this on The Voice with Miley Cyrus too, as part of the finale show

Oh and that's the Grand Ole Opry stage

One word GRAMMY.......And yep they all got 1.

Want to hear Kirsty shine? The Wizard of Ahhhs.

Thanks for doing this video?Would you consider doing Geo Micheal Father Figure or Careless Whisper please.Thanks.glad I found you,Excellent

thank you for this. Might I also suggest (for a completely different take on this song) Jolene ft Maris-post modern jukebox. Oh and speaking of postmodern jukebox, I recommend "We Can't Stop (Acapella Version) - Miley Cyrus ('50s Style) Postmodern Jukebox"

Since you said what you did about Kirstin being in the background I have been really paying attention. What I have seen is that in almost every video there is a moment where Kirstin is doing a solo part somewhere in the video. She may not be THE lead singer, that is mostly Scott's role but she always gets her part. And I am sure that they all aware that Pentatonix is a team of equal importance. There are no "Divas". I would be very surprised if she ever thought she was being slighted.

Dolly is always funny.

VOICE PLAY!!!

I prefer the version where she sings the song by herself. It sounds more like a melodic plea, while this just feels like a good song to me.

Where are you guys from?

Do you want to see/hear Dolly play her fingernails? Listen to Jolene song by her, PTX and Miley Cyrus on the Voice. Only Dolly could be this awesome.

Please react to more Voctave videos

Please react to KZ -ROSES OF CHAINSMOKERS in MYX Philippines

They ask Dolly how much money she has ..Dolly said I never count my money only my blessings from God!!

*You need to react to this singer Maria doing Never Enough from Indonesian Idol 2018. Her looks, smile, humble attitude & mannerism, etc, is a bit like MORISSETTE and has a rich voice (no high octave though) but she's only 16. Others, have commented the same as well & are slowly reacting to this so I suggest you do so. Might as well get another country audience to your channel* kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJWCsbxyaMzNeag.html After she sang, the judges critic her, then one judge sings with her after that as well.

Plsss react to "Who you are- JESSIE J with MORISSETTE AMON (live in manila)" 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It doesn't matter who the singer is or what the song is PTX makes it better.

Can you do a reaction to HOME FREE GUILTY PLEASURE (Live performance)

You've probably reacted to the song, but I'm pretty sure you didn't react to this version of it. The best version of this song is the live version on Conan O'Brien: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJ9rtLiwY6yelco.html Simon & Garfunkel have endorsed their version as the best cover!

Absolutely!

You should check out home free with Kenny roggers

See, I don't like this. I like the song, I like Dolly, I like PTX but this is a country song and this isn't a fit to me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't sound right me. PTX isn't country. I wish she had done this with Home Free instead. But, they did one with Kenny Rogers "Children, go where I send thee" so I'll let it slide. 😊

These guys can't hold a candle to Home Free.

Dolly missed a real chance. PTX are great. They are awesome, they are world class vocalist but this should have been with Home Free. At this point they were not as well know as PTX. I can't help but wonder how this would have be with Home Free.
