If you want a few originals you could listen to their Pop Spring performance. 3 originals, one Medley, all in a professionally recorded live performance at a Japanese festival. It is quite long, but well worth a watch! Scott, Mitch and Kirstin all get lead spots over the 3 originals, so it is quite a nice spread.

Sir Hairless you always blow my mind. I am astounded at how much you glean from a musical performance. It truly enhances one's appreciation of what the artists have produced. Unlike other reactors, you focus on musical structures rather than on vocal technique (or like the really bad reactors whose total contribution to the music is WOW).

The fact that Kevin looks like a cyborg is very fitting!. The part you thought was a double track is just Kevin doing a throat bass and Avi is doing a deep hum. And I LOVE Avi does the overtone. The rapid beeping sound Kevin is doing is CRAZY! He did some of it in their "Starships" song which has a disclaimer in the beginning of the video stating that all the noises are made by the band members. PENTATONIX are AMAZING and I can't wait for you to do more of their original songs❣️

Again, the live performance of this, off mic (well, except for Kevin for effect) (Avi should have had one too, in my opinion), for someone who was interviewing them lets you see what they can do without the studio effects for all in the video! That is Kevin doing that lower throat noise! You guessed correctly! I hear Scott saying "Word!" on the times you say you hear small dinosaur sounds! 😂 Pentatonixism! I love it!

Have you considered checking out Superfruit (Scott/Mitch) and Kevin has his own channel KO. Scott has released some solo music this year as well. Kirsten has an album she did on her own, and it's gorgeous to listen to! Kevin has some amazing covers using looping, which he is incredible at. I would also love to hear your reaction to Mad World. All of these videos were made during covid, and they actually produced several songs during the pandemic that are stunningly beautiful!!! If you're interested in their creative productions, please watch Making of Evergreen. They had 2 weeks to come up with 14 Xmas songs for their tour in 2022. I think you'll find so many treasures. I would also encourage you to check out any live versions from their Hollywood Bowl September 2023 concert. There were over 17,000 people there, and you'll see Matt doing a lot of the songs that you've reacted to with Avi as their bass singer.

Always enjoy the analysis and pointing out subtle bits that have escaped me, even after listening to the song dozens of times. Glad that Pentatonix can still surprise you, even after all of the reactions you've done to them! This was their follow-up release after Daft Punk - great catch on noting the similarities in the visual aspects! I tend to kind of think of this song as their "Star Wars Cantina" song - all of the costumes and makeup wouldn't look out-of-place in a Star Wars movie, and while the Cantina band might have a problem replicating this sound, putting them into a cantina as the main attraction wouldn't look that odd at all. I love the way Kirstin looks with the bright green contact lenses! That deep bass sound you pointed out was indeed Kevin, but he says that it hurts his throat to do it, so AFAIK this is the only song he's performed it in. And since this is almost 10 years old, I don't think they perform it much anymore. One thing I'm not sure if you spotted on first watch - keep an eye on Avi and Kevin as the song ends. Avi goes into his "robot losing power" look and loses eye contact with the camera, Kevin is looking everywhere BUT the camera, even as the Trio are looking straight at it.

Oh fabulous! If you want to skip the personal portion, go to the last paragraph This is a song I've never been able to get through. Once Mitch hits that G5, the entire bottom drops out for me. I have two TTP implants in each of my ears. They are like tiny little antennas that capture vibration. The implants are anchored in the bone and work similar to the tympanic membrane. Unfortunately, all frequencies aren't picked up, and higher frequencies create feedback. Think microphone and speaker too close together. Once Mitch hits that G5, the feedback kills the entire bottom and I have never been able to go further. I wanted to see what I was missing through your analysis, so I muted and waited for you to pop up and speak. After playing around, going forward and backwards, I was able to skip Mitch's higher parts and apply your commentary to the other portions of the song. That was a challenge! I made great progress! I know it's not perfect and I know I'm still missing a lot, but it's the first time I've heard the second half and been able to pull out the bass. I wish I could convey the joy and gratitude I feel. I wish I could shake your hand and thank you for the world you've helped reopen for me. I may be limited to PTX, but I can tell you, the joy and happiness in my heart is beyond words. Thank you once again! With great respect, Theresa

There were actually 2 or 3 surprises in this piece for me. I love how they moved from minor to major chords and back, I haven’t often heard that. And no one is as good as Avi at creating truly frightening facial images, he can be quite shocking 😊. And that deep, driving combo of Kevin and Avi was heavily emphasized in this song, I did appreciate them having a prominent role. As usual, really enjoy how you break down a piece and share the importance of why some musical decisions get made

Their Popspring performance has 3 original songs: Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, and Water. They also do the Evolution of Michael Jackson, and the entire performance is live. It's kind of long though, so if you want to analyze them, you could always do separate videos for each. Cracked is a Scott-heavy song, Can't Sleep Love has lots of great Mitch moments, and Water is a Kirstie lead, so you also get a variety out of this concert.

They did this at the same time as Daft Punk. I think they were in the futuristic mode at the time. An extremely low budget and a keen need to get themselves seen. I adore this one, love Mitch in it and wish it was longer. I've heard that this wasn't sustainable for Kevin with the throat singing work. It was too hard on him to do it over and over in concert. It's sad but I totally understand. I hope you will be able to hear Kevin on his site do his cover of "Down". I know you will appreciate every aspect he tosses at you. He's an all around talent. He also has perfect pitch. Thanks for an amazing reaction (from your face) and sharing of your knowledge. It's appreciated......

What I like about your analysis is that you point out things that I don't really notice because I listened to the overall song instead of individual sounds, thank you 🥰

I love hearing musically knowledgeable people break stuff down. It's so amazing! And to catch it on the first few playthroughs. Impressed.

The song is well known among hard core fans, but I feel it's highly under-rated overall in their catalog. It's a very good song. 10 year's ago no less and early in their career. How 5 people can make a dance track sound this good is well, amazing. It's catchy. It's fun. If I'm in a bad mood or just need a pick-me-up, this one will do it. You pointed out a couple things I've never noticed nor have I heard anyone else point out. Great break-down as always.

Most of the songs on their album pentatonix are original. One of my favourite ones that has a video is sing! It’s such a feel good song! Love your reactions and the knowledge and insight you have about how they have put their music together!

You caught that word “run” appearing in both “Run to You” and “Love Again.” There is another sort of interesting repeated use of the word”run” between their TV appearances on “The Sing Off” in 2011, and “Masked Singer” in 2023. In 2011, arguably the first official PTX Mitch Slap was in his feature during their cover of “Dog Days are Over” wherein he ends on a belted “Run!” In 2023 Mitch belts “Run” again in their cover of “Creep.” I just love the things you catch in your reactions. That was Kevin in the bass note during the rhythm break. If I’m not mistaken, I believe that was a glottal stop that he unfortunately and correctly no longer performs as it damages his voice. Not to scare you, but 25 is just the beginning. There is a reactor with over 300 unique Pentatonix reactions on their channel (he may be counting Sup3rfruit, though). It’s quite a testament to Pentatonix’s body of work and longevity, either way. I would be thrilled if you and PTX keep going indefinitely.

Very interesting about the word “run”! I wonder if it’s intentional or not 🤔 Oh yes, I love the fact that there are hundreds of works in their catalogue. It means we won’t run out any time soon

Fascinating to see you finding elements of what that makes this song special. It is probably the one song I like the best, that has most meaning for me, from PTX. I had cared for my dying dad for half a year, and I just found Pentatonix during the last days of his life. He was a musician himself, so it would have been much fun to listen to these tunes together with him. Instead, after he died, I sat in a haze listening to every song by PTX, but there was one title I didn't recognize, so I put off listening to it until there were no other songa left: Love again. After listening three times, I couldn't get enough of it. Avi stood out because I recognized him, as the character in the video, with the pony tail, the tattoos by the temple, markings on the forehead and the charcoal around the eyes. I had been writing on a novel for many years, but only had half of the story. There was one character in this story who hadn't spoken yet. A warrior-priest by the name of Garamiel of Ferryside, with dark hair in a pony tail, markings at his temple and signs on his forehead and charcoal around his eyes. He had been part of a few scenes, but never did anything by himself or said anything. But while I was listening to Love Again, he stepped forward and flooded me with the other half of the story, exactly three days after dad's demise. I found a video with Love again on repeat for 10 hours, and I wrote day and night for a month. A few days into the writing, I started hearing snippets of the text from the song and realised that it echoes the story of Garamiel quite a bit. I am working on a translation of the book into English. It's an adventure and love story set in a future world where there are no ideologies and therefore no politicians anymore. Garam is the main hero/anti-hero. I've been thinking on how to thank Avi for unknowingly creating a costume that was so point on that it stirred Garam to tell his part in that very strange period in my life.

My two favorite songs are the last of three versions of Seasons of Love (from Rent, the Musical) that they recirded a rooftop in LA with a choir backup. It was taped for the "Capital Fourth" a patriotic musical review on July 4th in DC. 2019 was the last year with Covid restrictions, so each participant taped their contribution in advance. Kirstie gets to shine! Christmas carols: "I Saw Three Ships." Please review the live version from a program called Christmas Under the Stars, also from 2019. One more! I love the Coventry Carol, which must have been a favorite of Avi's, because he sings it so beautifully. It's mystical, magical and tragical, and deserves more attention. Thank you! You illuminate my understanding each time!

TY for reacting to this original....I love when you do analysis for PTX. Their musical compositions are sometimes quite complex. If you watch the last time you hear the throat singing, it's Kevin with Avi now doing the beat. Hope you are enjoying your KZitem break. It was so nice of you to have some videos in the que for us!

I really appreciate your reactions. For originals I agree PopSpring 2016 has 3 originals and the evo of Michael Jackson live. I also love their originals Sing, Happy Now, Be My Eyes, Coffee in a Bed, Thank You and Natural Disaster.

You were right on it when you said Avi's and Kevin's face makeup looked like a hard-drive. If you will notice throughout the video, he has very "robotic" movements in his head, face, and eyes. And at the end, the way Avi almost seems to "power off".
