Kevin is never left out. He's one man who literally represents a whole band, whole orchestra. Others are like peaks of the mountain which reach out in this song and Kevin is like the mountain itself. He's a single man who literally becomes many the very moment he does, well, anything.

I love every member ... but EVERY time Mitch starts singing .... I fall in love all over again.

Oh honey
You got a storm comin

"Imagine" is the best opportunity to hear Kevin sing in Pentatonix; he has the lead in the last stanza, and he also hits the diva notes in the "wall of sound" right before that final stanza. Most of the time, he is busy beatboxing, but a few of their songs don't require a beat box, which frees him up to sing. "Can't Help Falling in Love" is an example of them singing intricate five part harmonies (no beatboxing), and so is their original composition "Run To You". A number of their Christmas songs have Kevin singing a line or two, where he can stop providing the beat for a moment. Kevin's range is interesting, as he can hit incredibly low notes as a beatboxer, and astonishingly high notes as a vocalist. As was noted by SorrowW0lf, there are many examples of Kevin singing on his own channel here on YouTube; his specialty there is looping covers, where he plays cello, piano, and drums, and adds in his own beatboxing and vocals. It's quite impressive.

FWIW, his last name is pronounced "oh LOO shoh la". Avi's first name is pronounced "AHH vee", with a broad a. The mezzo soprano is Kirstin Maldonado (Kirstin rhymes with Thurston, not Tristan) and the countertenor is Mitch Grassi, who can belt out some amazingly high notes (he regularly nails a G#5 in a number of their songs). You already know Scott, and after Avi's departure in 2017, Matt Sallee (suh LEE) stepped in as the bass. If you'd like to see some of Matt's bass work with the group, check out the covers of "Attention" or "New Rules x Are You That Somebody". Kirstin shines in "Say Something" and "Rather Be", and "Bohemian Rhapsody" is a Mitch Grassi tour de force.

Nice reaction, and would like to see more Pentatonix reactions from you.

Mitch, the guy with the higher voice, is actually a counter tenor. Has has a really amazing range and flexibility with his voice

[avakia]

I almost threw my MacBook away when he interrupted Mitch
thx for the likes lol

[stevanholland]

Kevin is an amazing beatboxer that can also sing and play the cello. In this song they didn't use alot of beatboxing so Kevin was less prominent in this song.

Just an interesting fact, when Avi is singing his verse Scott is doing the base part, you can hear the change but unfortunately you don’t see it in the video. I would recommend seeing them performing it live as you get to see Scott doing the baseline and how they arranged the switch

[pambarab]

Scott, Kirstin (soprano), and Mitch (counter-tenor) all grew up in Texas, and have known each other since they were young teens and before. Avi and Kevin joined them later, so they could compete on a TV talent show called "The Sing-off". They won, (some money and a recording contract). The contract was cancelled soon, so they decided to do YouTube videos, and became so well known through YT, that they were offered another recording contract. They have the best selling Christmas album of all time, and several Grammys, and a HUGE fandom called the Pentaholics.

i love it when people react to mitch’s vocals they’re always so surprised

[LadyLightningstorm]

I always like watching someone react to Mitch's voice for the first time.

[AvaLynn]

When Kevin sings it is absolutely beautiful! Please check out their rendition of Mary Did You Know. You will understand what I mean. Thx! <3

[natwest]

I love watching vocal coaches reactions to Mitch the first time they hear him. It is always an unfiltered expression of sheer delight!

[lauraa]

Kevin is not only an outstanding beat boxer, he is an extremely talented musician. And, he can sing!! Check their video of Imagine.

[cheriz]

Never. Ever. Interrupt the beautiful baby angel Mitch. Thankyouverymuch.

[darlisataylor]

Don't ever stop right before Mitch sings. It will usually always blow your mind

[PMJonte]

It's the diversity of the group that makes it. Kevin, the one you missed, has a triple threat talent. He typically does the beat box and he sings from time to time, but he is also a classically trained cellist. Plus, he can beat box and play cello at the same time. I loved the reaction. I have subscribed and hit the notification bell. I want to see more Pentatonix reactions from you. Yessir...it's time for you to join the world of the Pentaholics.

[rayraudebaugh]

Pentatonix is an insanely talented group. They are undoubtedly the best a capella group around and have won 3 Grammys. They do mostly covers but there is also a fairly large body of original work that they have composed themselves. There are so many that I wouldn't know where to start with recommendations. Please do your self the favor of doing more reactions. The beat boxer, Kevin has developed a very good singing voice in addition to his very impressive beat boxing skills. He is also a classically trained cellist, plays piano/keyboard and used to play very good saxophone in high school and did a sax performance at Carnegie Hall. As if that isn't enough he has a degree from Yale University and speaks flawless Mandarin Chinese.

[juditveres_hearts]

When he said "Jesus" as Mitch sang my heart filled with warmth and joy. :D

[Launibu]

Pentatonix singing "Mary did you know" and "Say something" are beautiful.
