"These people take me places" - Best description I've ever heard of The effect Pentatonix has on people. 👏

[Arcusfp]

I heard it put this way.. Simon and Garfunkel, sang out a warning, Disturbed took us to war, and Pentatonix send out a message of hope for the future.

[pattyloof]

Not many reactors talk about Matt (bass), and he did such a great job here. When he just lets go, his tone is amazing.

[therealhaemony]

I honestly laughed at your initial disclaimer. Not offended at all...makes sense that you'd be sick of the song. Even as a longtime Simon & Garfunkel fan, I kinda got burned out after it became a meme and after the Disturbed version (much as I love what they did with it). But I've also watched a ton of reactions to this PTX cover, and it never fails. LOVED your response when Matt ("new" bass, far left, white jacket) came in. Thanks for the great reaction!

Kevin made "celloboxing" a thing. He plays cello while beatboxing.

[miriamhanns]

Listen to Mary did you know by pentatonix you'll enjoy it alot

[jamesensley]

PENTATONIX CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT is a terrific Lion King cover they do. Fantastic harmonies, and I'm not even going to talk about Mitch. Only hearing is believing.

[sophiehalverson]

“Please someone if you know her, high-five her that was sick”
I don’t know why but i absolutely loved that part

[larrywt]

The Simon & Garfunkel original: a gentle warning of things to come; The Disturbed version: angry response that the warning was ignored; The PTX version: hopeful optimism that the warning will still be heard.

[rondileem]

The PTX we've all been there! Great reaction, love your insight. Do another one?

[michelle]

I'm old enough to have been around when Simon & Garfunkel released this and fell in love with it on the spot. Since then, I'd never heard a cover that tripped my trigger. Disturbed's version demonstrated their talent, and they have a lot, but I didn't think it matched the original feel of the song.; it feels too angry to me. I had no worry though when I saw PTX was going to cover it...and they did do it justice! Probably seen it 200 times and when Scott gets into that final verse I still get goosebumps. Great reaction; glad they've refreshed it for you :)

[DelGuy]

Great reaction! As a (retired) music theater myself, I fully understand getting burned out on a song, even if it's a good one. I'm glad this rendition reinvigorated you. Getting nerdy myself, I find it just such an ingenious arrangement in how it delivers effects and surprises. Starting with SCOTT, their baritone, showing his buzzy low E and F# at the start. And then MATT, the group's bass since late 2017, singing it an octave higher than Scott had, showing a well-developed baritone range. (And the slick way the arrangement let others take over the very top A in the tune so he could stay on F# on the first harmony part, before descending back to bass.) And then a key change so KIRSTIN could own it in B minor, and then Scott show us the high end of his range. KEVIN holding down the beat (and singing, in the little choral transitions).

(OK, the all-caps names were a friendly hint that it's getting to be time to master their names. You can do it! I love your analytical approach.)

[nickerpsg]

As soon as you remember their names, you will be inducted into the multi-millions of PENTAHOLICS....great reaction. BTW, all the songs in which they do covers, their arrangements are always so unique that you won't ever get bored or hate "their" version...keep on that train !!!

[secolerice]

I thought you might change your mind once you’ve heard Pentatonix do this. I grew up with Simon and Garfunkel‘s electric version. It is one of my all-time favorites. When I heard Disturb’s version it upset me greatly. I did not like the anger in it. As a Pentatonix fan from the beginning, I am super glad that they did this song the way they did. It makes me cry every time. They honor Simon and Garfunkel‘s song very well.

[christophertriana]

You need to review their Daft Punk medley. Its a very different genre from what you've reviewed so far, and it continues to blow me away. The new guy is Matt, who replaced Avi as the group's bass about 3 years ago. I'm glad you got to hear him. Love your work, and thank you, thank you, thank you for doing this one. (I'll also say do Mary did you know because you actually get to hear Kevin, the beatboxer, sing)

[yvonnemassey]

This version of the song by Pentatonix gave my soul goose bumps. Every one of them, outstanding.

[sarahritacco]

Love your reaction!
I can't wait to see more of PTX:
Imagine, Say Something, Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy, Run To You
I would suggest Aha! Singapore: A fan video of a live performance, but good quality and best version
Avi (his solo work): A Change on The Rise, I'll Get By
Scott's solo work: I Should Tell Ya Momma on You (a cover and shows his crazy range)

[elainecourteau]

Great comments and reaction. Yes, Matt’s voice is as unique as all the other PTX members, and when they put them all together, pure heaven! I am super nerdy when it comes to them. 🤗

[lexymich]

The biggest news is they are dropping their second original song in 5 years on the 14th at 3pm est/12pm pt

[ThePhvraoh]

Damn even after all these times watching it I have only now realized I have the exact same jacket Matt is wearing. LIT
