Kirstin Maldonado, on the left typically takes the mezzo role. Mitch Grassi, next one over, is a counter-tenor and will typically cover over the top of Kirstie. Scott Hoying, in the middle, is a baritone, but he can go from bass to tenor, depending on the song. Kevin Olusola (K.O.), second from the right is a superb beatboxer and cellist, but he also sometimes comes in as a tenor. Avi Kaplan on the right is a bass (or basso profundo). Avi is no longer with the group, as he has gone solo. He has been replaced with Matt Sallee. Please try their cover of Sound of Silence.

Pentatonix almost always has those little surprises in their arrangements of well known songs. It gives it the style they are known for, keeping the original emotion but also giving the audience something new. They also have several original songs too.

Avi, the bass, can certainly "go low" - he's been known to blow speakers in concert!

Love it more pentatonix please

Avi Kaplan is not a baritone tho.. he is a basso profundo, he's able to sing G1 in chest.. I'd not call that a baritone. That's just an effect of practising high notes for years..

@@therealsourc3 the person probably referred to the parts where he sings in "normal range" and doesn't go super low lol it's still bass range I guess but it's a huge difference lol

Kevin is a tenor as well as a beat boxer (one of the two on the right) . Avi the other gentleman on the right is the Bass in this iteration of the group. Scott the blonde is a baritone who can dip into the bass range and in the lowest end of the tenor range.

Wow, I didn’t expect your reaction to be so interesting! Please, keep reacting to ptx) Thank you PS. Avi is a bass but he’s indeed very versatile

Great reaction. Thanks for the in depth analysis. You touched on a subject at the end of the video that I think is the reason for the success of Pentatonix. Yes, they have great voices. But it is the arrangements and how they know where each individual voice fits in that makes their "signature" sound. The three main singers "The Trio" , Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie, have been singing together since they were 8 to 10 years old. They grew up together and are best friends. They do most of their own arranging with the help of Ben Bram. Please react to more Pentatonix. Thanks again.

react to more! i can understand how this might be too much analysis for some but i love your style. for the background i love scott (tall blond haired baritone) all of them have pretty great ranges in their own right (with the possible exception of kevin the black gentlemen whom you thought had the lower voice, he's a great singer but he's mostly just incredibly talented with beatboxing that he didn't show off in this one) but scott has a range i'd die for. he can go all the way down to a c#2 d2 and his eb2s sound really beautiful and warm. then he can also hit a ton of bflat 4s in a very full belt and even b4 maybe c5! avi has a crazy voice...regularly able to sing all the way down to an a1! probably a full octave below what you and i can sing as tenors.

Waiting anxiously for more Pentatonix reactions. I find interesting the analyzations from those with musical training.

A suggestion from a composer... let the piece play through before analyzing the arrangement. By the way Avi-on the right is a true basso profundo capable of third ledger-line bass clef A! By the way, Mitch is a counter-tenor.

I agree with this, especially with a group like PTX. Much of the magic in their performances is the ebb and flow they create which is lost when it's paused so often. Although it would mean a longer video, I definitely think you get more from it if you listen all the way through first

I'm always late to the party, but Mitch Grassi is the dude with the dark hair that's second to the left. From left to right it's Kirstin Maldonado, a mezzo-soprano (I think? I keep seeing that), Mitch Grassi, a counter-tenor, Scott Hoying, a tenor (but one with a really fabulous range so that when the bass singer has a lead part, he pitches in on the bass notes), Kevin Olusola is the beat boxer, but also has a really lovely high tenor when the song doesn't need a drum beat, and Avi Kaplan, probably the most beautifully sounding bass (or basso profundo, depending on who you ask) I have ever heard, but who also has a pretty good range where he can sing higher notes like you heard in this song at the end.

probably the best ID anyone has given me, thanks

I'm glad you paused often to comment. That's what I love to get from a vocal coach! This was a perfect song for you to start with, since it's a true live performance. Some of those interesting chords were made possible by the "5th voice"--Kevin (second from right) is the beatboxer but he sang this time. As others have mentioned, his singing voice is actually a high tenor! Scott, the baritone, is the one who often goes down to bass notes when the bass has a solo in a higher range. (Avi, whose training is in opera as a basso profundo, is singing here; Scott does the same when the current bass, Matt, has a solo.) Sorry, didn't mean to write so much! I enjoyed your reaction and will be watching for more.

By the way--we Pentaholics tend to cringe when people say "THE Pentatonix." It's just "Pentatonix," as in, "The Late Show featured a performance by Pentatonix." But don't worry--you get extra points for already knowing (Mitch) Grassi's name and for noticing the jaw-dropping beauty of his voice.

Great reaction! I love how many details and explanation you put in!

Pentatonix (aka PTX) is the very best for Christmas music. Other music too, of course! They usually have some twist on each piece, and the results are fantastic. Please react to more of their music. By the way, unless you have an incredible sound system, it is usually recommended that you use headphones when listening to PTX, otherwise you’ll miss a lot of Avi’s parts. He goes so low that he has been known to blow out speakers. There are actually some videos of that.

Mitch is a counter-tenor. Avi is a basso profundo ( he was studying opera at USC when he was called for Pentatonix and the singoff! Harmony contains minor 9th chords and strong polyphonic counterpoint! Pentatonix uses a great many chordal extensions in their output!

Please please please do more Pentatonix...you will be blown away by the sheer range & flexibility of each member...And of them whether it be with Avi the original bass or Matt the newer one. Also Avi Kaplan's solo music, Kevin's solo stuff & Superfruit, (Mitch the Tenor & Scott the Baritone). I believe that Avi is chorally/classically trained so this is perfect for him.
