I'm a 70 year old old fart and I don't like change. I wasn't even going to watch this once he started singing. I kept listening and got goosebumps you young folks have my approval well done.

[dvskane]

PenTx is on another level. Always have been.

Pentatonix doesn't miss with any of their songs.

[afergie]

This is the best review video I’ve seen. Most reviews stop every 15-20 seconds to make a comment. She actually listened and let her have explain it, playing the video for most of the song.

THAT IS WHY PTX IS THE NUMBER ONE ACAPELLA GROUP IN THE WORLD🌎
🎵🎙🎶

Absolutely blown away. Tears in eyes. Phenomenal.

5 amazing unique voices, just beautiful. Hallelujah was my introduction and have never looked back! Great choice.

[paulkardash]

This is the very first time I saw these cats.. I watched it like 1000 times in a row..I loved it.. I was captivated.. their harmonies touched my soul immediately..

[Gwennedd]

Great reaction! If you haven't heard much from this excellent group, you really should explore their stuff more. There some 200+ pieces they've done...some covers and some originals...and not a bad one in the lot.
1st singer: Scott Hoying, baritone. his vocal range is immense...like all the group's...and he takes over the bassline when the bass sings a verse or does lead.
2nd singer: Mitch Grassi, countertenor. Mitch has a really ethereal voice especially in his higher range. He and Kirstie can both sing high soprano.
3rd singer: Matt Sallee, lyric baritone. Matt's vocal range is phenomenal! His bass is constantly going lower and he's singing with the group more often, rather than simply doing the bassline. Avi Kaplan was the group's bass for years (2012-2017) and his voice is astounding. He's an opera trained basso profundo and could break speakers with his low range. Matt is getting there!!
4th singer: Kirstin ( Kirstie) Maldonado, alto-soprano. Kirstie is the belter in the group. Her vocals are bright and strong. It's often ( until you get really used to the group's voices) difficult to figure out who's doing the high-pitched notes, Kistie or Mitch....and occasionally...
Kevin Olusola...beatboxer extraordinaire! Yes, Kevin can sing. In fact he often does help with backing vocals when he's not actively beatboxing. He's also a musical genius. He co- songwrites, plays sax, keyboard and cello. Speaks several languages including fluent Mandarin.
Some PTX suggestion for new reactions:
Daft Punk medley, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Hallelujah, 90's Dance Medley, Imagine, Mad World, Bohemian Rhapsody, Coffee In Bed (Original), Be My Eyes ( original), Run To You ( original).

'That voice' is our very special Mitch Grassi, very rare mezzo soprano, chameleion extroridaire. If you're not sure who that "new" person is, it's just Mitch again looking very different again. But that voice is always, always unearthly and special.

As you discovered, Pentatonix habitually gets you to like their cover better than the original. PTX can take a song and make it new and fresh but still remain familiar. Pentaholics (PTX fans) call them upgrades rather than covers. You won't regret diving into this very deep and magical rabbit hole.

[lukesouthworth]

One of many of my favorite songs love it

[Uncle_T]

Their version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah is a must.

[lleldridge]

Thanks Mrs. R - glad you loved it. I've been a PTX fan ("Pentaholic") for quite some time now. They've been producing amazing music for 12 years or so, so their catalog runs pretty deep. You might want to take a look at their channel, pick any song that peaks your interest and react. You won't be disappointed.

There is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift! *IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix* They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗💗💗 *They are individually so talented, however, when put together, it is truly magical* 💗💗💗 Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction 💗💗💗

[johnlanigan]

Stunning! Hair stood up on the back of my neck. Amazing control, range and precise vocal gymnastics. I'm an instant fan.

[davidpost]

They amped this song up with their voices and this arrangement.

[tonyabrown]

[annemariewaugh]

Keep on listening - they get better & better!!!!
