THE ONLINE SINGING COURSE is available now with TARA SIMON!! 56 Daily Video Lessons to take your voice from Good to Great!! Check it out at: tarasimonstudios.com/ssnh2.0

Kirstin is unique in that she doesn't simply sing, or interpret a song she "performs" the song as if the song itself is a character that she needs to bring to life. I attribute this to her deep connection to musical theater where the songs are part of the characters. You can see this in her body language and facial expressions when she sings. She becomes the song.

Yes she does. Just her movements in parts of the song. So beautiful. I like the way she has her hair. I'm a photographer and notice the details.

I'm so glad you stopped to mention Kevin. What he does is called "celloboxing."

Crazy

I think Kirstie's voice has gotten deeper and richer over the years since the sing-off. I think she has improved vocally the most. I liked her before - I LOVE her now! Another thing I love about Pentatonix is how deeply they immerse themselves into the songs they do. The songs are shown on their faces. Even if you couldn't understand the language, I think you would understand the song just by watching them.

Same!

2:08 that “fOoOor change” was so beautiful! Kirstin’s vocal has matured so much so powerful and the “Bad Romance” riff 😩 to 3:47 Mitch’s “oOooh” my personal favourite his angelic voice gives me chills!! You can see how much passion him and Kirstie put into singing but it’s still so effortless

It was Kevin's ability to Cello-Box (as he coined it) that got him the PTX gig in the first place. And, let's be honest, Kirstie and Scott blew Gaga and Bradley out of the water with this one! The chemistry between them is still very palpable. I guess that's what can happen between life-long friends.

I honestly cannot tell you how much i love this song. from Kevin's cello to Kirstin and Scott's solos to Mitch riffing like the worlds gonna end to the sleek video that's black and white but with the flashes of gold and just everything. Ugh t's SO good

@@Da04x i mean he is always a beautiful steady presence in the group. Drama Free Matt Sallee. His smile is so big and his energy is always positive that he holds his own but also knows when to show restraint. I will also say i do prefer his bass sound to Avi's. It is a lot smoother in the tone. As much as i do love Avi he was a lot rougher round the edges and stuff. Matt's has a more controlled vibe to it. But we all love Matt. That man is pure joy un human form. I dont think i have ever seen a picture or videonclip ofnhim being grumpy or angry. He is the most chill and most joyous human ever and i want to inject some of that energy into my own life.

Scott has such a rich and warm tone. Love Mitch's "for change". Kirstin's "cry" adds such an emotional depth. Love that Scott and Kirstin are singing to each other. Mitch has a great run there at 2:25 and then a great punch at the end of it. That's pure power. And of course Kevin's chelloboxing and Matt laying down a great solid bass for everyone to build on. PURE MASTERY !!! Love it.

Kevin’s Celloboxing is what got him to PTX lmao Scott found him on the internet doing just that and then he knew Kevin was the beatboxer they needed

Could you react to Pentatonix's Come Along? In my opinion, it's nothing short of spectacular!!! 😍😍

Thank you for reacting to Pentatomix. Best group ever

I'm dying to see you react to their cover of Can't Help Falling in Love. The dissonance is breathtaking and Mitch's voice is stunning and smooth.

I love how much you appreciate them (and so many others), but also never fail to use them to teach those little things that your students (us) need to learn. Deep respect for being able to enjoy so much while still keeping your head in the game.

The studio version is killer but you’ve got to see a video of them performing this on tour last year, it’s really impressive

Kevin plays multiple instruments AND makes instrumental sounds with his beatboxing AND he can sing so lovely WHAT CAN THIS MAN NOT DO

You should have heard this LIVE😍😍😍 literally breathtakingly gorgeous in person!!

I can't believe you didn't notice the riff from bad romance I listened to that part over and over again nonstop it was just a really smooth transition

There has never been a single note from Pentatonix I haven't been wildly in love with😍😍😍

YES I love this cover

How do three friends find each other in high school who all sing beautiful and stay friends forever without judging who they are .??? That's unique.in it self.

I know this is from over a year ago, but was it only me that noticed how they added a small part of bad romance in this song, towards the end🤩

Hello Tara since you've reviewed Waving through a window cover by Pentatonix and you are a Broadway geek I can not wait to see you react to BEN PLATT

One of my favorite PTX covers ever! Thank you so muchhh

I soo love how much you break it down and let us know exactly what it is. And yes I noticed Kevin and I was like wow this guy is beyond talented. The whole group is amazing. Thank you

(Edited for spelling) That "Bad Romance" riff homage to Lady Gaga always sends me! Such a great arrangement of this song. 💕

I can't even make a sandwich and tell a story at the same time and Kevin over here playing an instrument and beatboxing at the same time. Heavy talent!

You're singing is totally necessary! Kristin nailed it!

Every single one of them is uber-talented!

Can you react to Pentatonix - Say Something? It's an unbelievable arrangement and you would love it!!

YAAASSS! I’ve been waiting and wanting a PTX react for so long! Thank you! Now, off to actually watch it, lol.

Omgg I love this. They are so amazingg!! Kevin is so underrated sometimes, he is extremely talented! I sometimes wish I could be in an a capella club or group just to have a chance of having those amazing harmonies. They are just so awesome. 😁🤣🥰

Love this song by her! She is so sensitive to the song. Gorgeous!

My bf was talking about how Kev was beat-boxing and playing the cello and literally 20sec later @Tara paused and mentioned how she was impressed about it. Just kind of awesome how that happened! Love you Tara and love your reaction videos!

Better than the original in my opinion. Absolutely love Kirsties power and feeling in her song, from her low register, to her whistle notes, she's just got that power, and the talent.

Kirstin has such a lovely voice 💕 and kevin is a beastttttt.

I love watching you react to Pentatonix😍

I am always amazed at how talented you are Tara, ....wow. God bless you

Hi, Tara, thanks for covering this. I loved this song when Gaga and Bradley Cooper did it in the movie and I love this possibly more. KO melts me when he plays the cello, Scott is his smooth, rich self and Kirsti really brings her sultry, smoldering best to the table. I love the way Mitch, Matt and Kevin take the forefront in the bridge (I think everyone would miss Mitch especially if he didn't get a moment); the arrangement (and execution) are stellar as usual - are we getting spoiled? When you get a chance, knowing how much you prefer live performances I would like to suggest a listen to PTX cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" - it has a setup that reminds me of their live version of Silent Night, just in a sort of industrial setting rather than a church. Continued success and all the best!

Love this song and they sang it exquisitely. Adore the cello!! Standing ovation !!!!

NOOO YOU MISSED THE BAD ROMANCE MOMENT! haha I love that little touch! You make me appreciate Kirstin even more (never thought that would be possible!) I would loooove to hear what you have to say about Marc Martel! He's got some pretty neat Queen covers ;)

One of their very best. And completely amazing.

I have been watching Pentatonix since they competed in the Sing Off show.

You do know Kevin's KZread channel where he was beatboxing and playing,is how Scott found him. Over 900,000 views. He saw him and said that is what we are missing to make 5 for the Sing-off.

i saw the thumbnail and literally jumped im excited!!

I always love when you react to Pentatonix. Love your channel Tara.

i am pretty convinced,that every song those guys take,,,,at the end it always sounds better then the original!

Just a beautiful group of people who have beautiful talent. God made them for this I think.

Really think you should react to Say Something, the cover that PTX did. Kirstin's lead is sososo amazing and it also includes more of Kevin's cello + beatboxing (celloboxing) as it's called. It's one of my absolute favorite covers!

That's how they found Kevin in the first place. They saw his video on KZread playing the cello and beatboxing or celloboxing as he called it.

I was sitting here telling my husband to pay attention for that Bad Romance riff and she paused and missed it *cries*

The 11 people who disliked this video need a better hearing. Their voice are amazing WOW 😮

This is the only channel that provides this much detail when reacting. Great.

Love PTX. Found them by accident a few years ago while looking for another accapella group! Haven’t heard that one before. My introduction to them their cover of Radioactive.

Kevin was truly multitasking

Personally speaking I think that this arrangement of Shallow is better than the original by Lady Gaga, it’s clearer and sharper and pulls you in , having you hanging on every note. The background with Matt, Mitch and Kevin is extraordinary. I have a request for you to view your preferred a live recording from the days before auto tuners. I bet all your tarabites will really love it and many will never have heard it before. It is the song that helped to make the film ghost so popular. It is of course UNCHAINED MELODY by the Righteous Brothers. Please and thank you in anticipation. Steven from Scotland.

Hiii your are blessed with a voice

Uuuuuf 😍😍😍 Their hallelujah cover was AMAZING but this is EVEN MORE AMAZING 😍😍🌻

Hi Ms Tara!!!! Please make a video to react to Pentatonix - Over the Rainbow. This song that they have covered just give me SO MUCH CHILLS. It's just so intriguing with the song being tuned lower by a half-semitone, but it still sounds so fantastic and well-sung. There is a lot of dissonant chords and harmony that sounds so magnificent, lots of surprise chords, it's just magical... so please react to this song!!

Nice Reaction! Thx!!. Floor Jansen (Lead Vovalist of Nighwish) did also a Version of Shallow in the Show "Beste Zangers". A Dutch show where Singer sing Songs of other Singers in the Show or Songs who are special for them. Before this Show Floor was not well known in the Netherlands...belive it or not. But all of her Performances are fantastic and now the Dutch People know her. All of her Performacnces worth for a reaction!

Omg that is rightfully awesome! I'm really enjoying your love of the music world in its entirety Tara, I learn from every video that you respond to. The complexities of the vocalizations are astounding to me. This puts me in mind of Big Band Music and how the scoring of each individual instrument is the presentation of popular music in that era. Thanks for pointing out the nuances of not only the cello/beatbox talent but also throughout your tutorial I have a better sense of purpose within the presentational process than I have in my past experience, totally makes a great impression of the importance instilled by the individuality and creativity that enhances my relating with individual artists! So impactful... 🙂

Wow! Pentatonix is truly a family of exemplar vocal masters. Very nice reaction video as well for the most active vocal coach here in KZread.
