Fascinating watching world class musicians collaborate to refine a song using their decades of skill, refining every aspect of their music. Most people can understand what the musicians are doing, while understanding that in all dimensions, these people are WAY beyond their audience.

A bit of background for this group. They started on a competition called The Sing Off. The deal was, if they won they would get $200,000 and a Sony recording contract. They won the show, the money and the record deal. They moved from Texas to LA. Two weeks later SME dropped them. They took the money and started making KZread videos. Like their Daft Punk video. That was created for a total of $400. Was recorded in a closet and filmed in a kitchen ,of an apartment that Avi and Kevin shared at the time. They won a Grammy. The rest is history. Funny thing is, SME (Sony Music Entertainment) is the label the they use now. I would of loved to be a fly on the wall, when mighty SME came begging for them to come back. Exciting news if you are a pentaholic. On September 22, they released a NEW single. Prayers For This World. Off of their NEW album Holidays Around The World, that comes out October 28th. They also, announced their new tour in a STUNNING way. It's a teaser for their NEW version of Joy To The World. Amazing and does exactly what it's intended to do. Leaves us wanting MORE MORE MORE. Please check both of the out. The Sing Off journey has videos as well. If you want to see their 1st 12 performances. Please, please continue your journey. But, be warned they have over 200 videos. They are an amazing and wonderful group. Thank you so much for the smiles. Genuine appreciation for the magic that they create is a joy to see. Take care and be safe. Hope and joy to you and your family and don't forget to pass it on. =^;^=

I've never seen anyone introduced to Pentatonix this way. VERY cool! I loved your reaction. Dive on down that rabbit hole of fabulous music and we will all go with you!

What a wonderful way to be introduced to PTX! If you do more (and I hope you do,) you will appreciate the art of it and you’ll be floored by the finished products! There is a huge catalogue of performances of all genres of music they have covered over the years (not just Christmas stuff) If you stick with this PTX journey - enjoy the ride!! We are here for it!

Your first 3 songs need to be Over the River, I Saw 3 Ships, and The Prayer since u just saw them put those together ... excited to see ur reaction to the finished product...after those, I highly recommend Sound of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, 90s Dance Medley, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Hallelujah, Rules/Are You That Somebody Mash Up, Imagine, Blinding Lights...this showcases different sides of them 😊

And just got married. ❤❤😂😂

i think you are going to have a ball with this group. they have over 300 recordings, .covers. originals, solo . they have five / 6 octave ranges. they cover all genre

Loved your reaction to this film. This is an amazing a cappella group, probably the best IMO. The Prayer is a great place to start since you heard some of it in this reaction. They have over ten years of work in their catalogue. In those years there has only been one member change. The current bass, Matt Sallee, replaced Avi Kaplan in 2017. Scott, the tall blonde, Kirstie, and Mitch, the dark haired guy with the mustache, and Kevin, the beat boxer and singer, have been with the group since the beginning. Please continue down this rabbit hole. You won’t be disappointed and the Pentaholics ( PTX fans) will all follow you. 💕💕

Heads up! Pentaholics do not care what time of year we hear their X-mas music.

I enjoyed watching your reaction to Pentatonix !! And enjoyed your personality you are a very positive young man !! I hope you are going to explore more of pentatonix music and have fun !!

I'm so glad you watched the video. It gives people a behind the curtain peek into what happens when they put an album together. Thank you. You just got a new sub.

I hope you react to some of their music - this group, in my opinion, is unlike any other acapella group.

Thank you! It is wonderful to watch you enjoying these artists!!!

Ok, now on to some of their music! I could watch them creating arrangements all day! What an interesting first reaction choice. I am really looking forward to watching you see them perform.

🎄Evergreen just got nominated for a Grammy!!!

Hi. Oh please react to PTX music. We who love them will follow you down their joyous rabbit hole. It will fill you with joy I promise. They are wonderful people who are insanely talented Start with “the Prayer”. But put on a seatbelt. They are gonna blow you away

You must to react "I saw three ships" to see the final result of creation of that last song😁

They sound great live, too.

I enjoyed your reaction to this Pentatonix video. Thank you. I hope that you will react to Pentatonix music and videos. They are incredible.

I loved your reaction to this, especially with this being your first exposure to Pentatonix. I really hope you react to more of them (Pentaholics will flock to your channel if you do) because they truly are the premiere acapella group. I recommend The Prayer since you heard a bit of it here, and also I Just Called to Say I Love You and Amazing Grace, but for non-Christmas related songs, I always recommend New Rules x Are You That Somebody, Mad World, The Sound of Silence, La La Latch (which has their original bass Avi, who has left the group amicably and replaced by Matt who is in this video), and really there are too many songs to recommend because they are amazing. This group has been around for 11 years and they just keep getting better and better.

I think their motto is 'leave the ego at the door.' The band was formed in 2011 and has only had one member change. They have won three Grammys, multiple gold and platinum albums, played to sold out houses on tour including the LA Forum and in 2019 they appeared at Madison Square Garden. One of their 2021 Evergreen Tour concerts had over 11,000 attendees. They have over 200 songs, some covers (actually upgrades) and two albums of original songs. Checked definition of 'homophonic' --"Having or characterized by a single melodic line with accompaniment. The definition of homophonic is having one sound or line of melody at a time that is played by multiple instruments at the same time." In this case, the instruments are their voices.

Welcome to the rabbit hole! Enjoy!

This is a great reaction! You listen so intently and PTX deserves that.

Definitely check out The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk, Sound of Silence, Hallelujah the list goes on. Their originals are fantastic too. Happy Now, Sing, Coffee in Bed, you can't go wrong with them really. There was only member change in their entire history. Avi was the original bass he left the band in 2017. Matt came in towards the end of 2017 and has been there ever since. Mitch and Kirstie change their looks a lot. If you have to ask "is that Mitch?" The answer is always yes.

Love this and your reaction! They are so good! Can you imagine opening your mouth and one of their voices came out???? Loved your comments! Must be an amazing feeling. Thanks for a great reaction, keep it up!

Christmas will be coming before we know it so you will have alot of songs to react to. They are so awesome. I listen to them every day. Until then there are so many videos for you to watch. You will love everything they do.

I love your reaction to this. We Pentaholics love a newbie

Oh MAN! I get so excited to see a new Pentatonix reactor who can really appreciate what they do! And despite the unusual first video chosen for you to react to, you GOT IT!!! Omg you will LOVE them! And the Pentaholics will find you and blow up your channel too…we’re a fiercely loyal and (mostly) kind group of fans with only a handful of exceptions. Thank you so much for this! Subbed!!! 💛xo

What a wonderful way to start listening to Pentatonix! I've never seen anyone introduce themselves to them like this! Please react to the finished video's of those songs you were watching evolve. OVER THE RIVER, THE PRAYER, and I SAW THREE SHIPS.. Liked and Subscribed! :-))

I loved your reaction to this video and to Pentatonix and I really hoped to hear more from you with Pentatonix reactions. I noticed in your video history that other than two other videos that this one has received the MOST views and that your goal is to reach at least 10k viewers by the end of the year. Do you know how to do that??? DO MORE PENTATONIX VIDEOS!!!! Literally, if you start reacting to more Pentatonix videos you will have more viewers than you know what to do with - almost overnight! Did you notice how many in your comments here said they were subscribing because you did a Pentatonix review AND because your review was great! You will find very loyal fans among the Pentaholics. I had thought to subscribe, but I usually wait until I've seen a couple videos to determine whether or not I click that button. Since I never saw another review come out I didn't pull the trigger on subscribing. Just note that you will likely have a problem with having videos blocked. I've seen reviewers put up their own logo over the top of the video for a few seconds every 10-15 seconds or so and that seems to satisfy the copyright issue. So, please consider going down the Pentatonix rabbit hole and react to more of their music! You will likely be very happy with any of their "Evolution" videos, as they are informal and done live. Start with Michael Jackson or the 90's Dance Medley or even Daft Punk - one that they won a grammy for (one of their 3 grammy's by the way). Hope to see some more Pentatonix coming from you!

Talent, hard work, mutual respect, friendship & appreciation for their fan base has propelled PTX thru a decade together! Pick a song, any song, we’ll be here to enjoy it with you!

I subscribed with the hope that you'll react to some PTX music now-they have a huge discography to choose from! You seem like such an open, genuine soul & us Pentaholics would just eat you up! Your numbers will go thru the roof & you'll be getting so many comments & suggestions it'll be crazy! Most of us are great subs to have(a few trolls here & there) but we love PTX reactors so can't wait to see you fall down this rabbit hole! Welcome!

You absolutely nailed it with your analysis of them! I’m so thrilled that this was how you were introduced to them! I subscribed, hoping that you continue your newfound journey with Pentatonix.

This was an awesome reaction! You do need more PTX (Pentatonix) in your life! They are just a freak of nature! The universe gathered them all together to make amazing music! Thank you for this reaction!

Welcome to the pentaholic community 🙏🏾❤️. There are many of us, and we love searching for new reactors. Your reaction to this video made me just as excited and I've already seen it like 30 plus times. I look forward to seeing you discover this amazingly talented and just pure honest music loving band. Their music and their style resonates with a lot of people and it moves folks to tears at times. I suggest you check out their origin. Three out of five have known each other since childhood in Arlington Texas (Kirstie, scott, and Mitch). All five of them got together for an acapella singing competition called The Sing-Off. If you really want to see them develop start from there and watch that competition there's about 12 to 15 episodes of the show from back in 2011. I think you would really enjoy seeing how they became and watching them grow. Blessings to you 🙏🏾❤️

What an amazing intro to PTX, great reaction sir!

Welcome to the PTX family……and it is a great one! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in anything they do. I loved your reaction, and your appreciation of their process and work ethic. Please do more PTX!

Watching your reaction was just amazing..is how I felt first time I watched it! I subscribed in HOPE that you react to their music now. IF this video amazed and inspired you, be forewarned their music will blow you away and I want to be here to see it!!

Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. 😜

I'd love to see the first week. Actually arranging the music and figuring out who gets what solos. I'd guess that would be a lot more serious and maybe competitive.

I always wish more people would react to this! Always a treat to see one pop up but for it to be your intro to PTX made me SO HAPPY!

I love that you started with this one! Now when you hear the official recording, you'll know what went into making it! 💖💖💖💖💖

I know you’re a huge fan of YEBBA and funny enough, I heard of her when one of Pentatonix’s members, Scott Hoying, mentioned loving her song, ‘My Mind’. You and I both know that song was amazing. Been loving her stuff ever since thanks to knowing Pentatonix. I sure hope you dig into their music now. Just know the SME get copyright heavy sometimes, so you may have to put a filter over the video you’re reacting to so it won’t get blocked. Looking forward to your Pentatonix reactions!!

Loved your reaction!! Keep going, there's sooo much more to see and HEAR!

Please react to more of there music! Love seeing people discover Pentatonix.

I, too, subbed in hopes you will explore them more deeply. The finished product of what you heard here, would be a great place to start. The Prayer and I Saw Three Ships.

I really like your reactions to this so I am going to hit your sub button with hopes that you will continue with Pentatonix along with your other reactions. They are amazing and they cover all genres from rap to Amazing Grace.

You're going to LOVE this group!

I just subbed in hopes of more Pentatonix reactions! 💖 The premier of a capella groups! 💖

They are amazing, loads of great music and a lot of fun

Boy did you have fun watching this

Trying not to be surprised by how good Pentatonix is is a failing proposition 😅 Best to not even try! Plus, the surprise is one of the best part of reactions to them! This was such a fun watch as an introduction to the band! I can't wait to see you actually get to listen to the music. They're an amazing group with amazing talent, amazing music and are also amazing people.

Good job. Please react to Amazing Grace, Imagine, and Mary Did You Know by Pentatonix.

I didn't want it to end either.

The best thing about them is that there are no egos involved at all. You noticed when Mitch said I'm the only on doing movement here so you all can listen to me and do what I do. There is a beginners guide to Pentatonix that tells you how they got together to you can just put that in the search box or if you need me to link it just ask. Then there is the intro to Matt Sallee. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p3WB0LqmiLG5g5M.html I loved how they did show all of that. Since you just did this you might want to search I saw three ships live and the prayer official video. Again if you need me to link just ask

I loved your reaction and your appreciation of the process! This is such an amazingly talented group - everything they do is outstanding! I've subbed and look forward to following you down the rabbit hole! And your channel will blow up if you continue reaction to PTX!

wonderful reaction

Pentatonix doesn't often let people in on their process like this so I was really excited when they recently put this out. There is an earlier video, an excerpt from their 2014 tour vlog where they are just starting an arrangement of Pharrell's "Happy". Here's the link and the part with the arranging starts at around minute 3:20 and goes to 7:40

Great reaction ❤

You're reaction was awesome

The very thing that inspired you about this film, this group, this way of collaborating, is the thing you have inside of you to inspire others. That is why it resonates with you. Remember that. You are an inspiration. I really enjoyed your reaction.
