This was the video that made them international superstars, their first big world-wide hit. They had booked professional studio time to record the song, and had an elaborate video shoot planned. The studio time fell thru at the last minute, so they ended up recording the song in a bedroom closet and shooting the video in a kitchen. The budget for the shoot was only $400 (not counting post-production and editing costs, which was also on a shoestring). The single became a huge hit and the video went super-viral, they won their first Grammy, and Sony took them out of the contract they had with the small Madison Gate label and promoted them all the way to the major RCA label...and the rest is history!

If you want to know what is possible - here are some fun facts about this video: - The medley was recorded at one of the band members home in a bedroom closet because they had the best acoustics there. - The video was recorded in a private kitchen. The only prop used (except for the contact lenses and Kevin's glasses) was a round neon lamp. - The total cost of the production was about 800 US Dollars. That seems to be all you need to win a Grammy! Of course you also need the incredible talent of six music lovers...yes six. Ben Bram, their Arranger is also part of magic.

In 2014, they won the Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instrumental Or A Cappella. More interestingly, there was no Grammy for a cappella music before 2014; this category was formerly titled Best Instrumental Arrangement or similar. So basically, PTX put a cappella music on the Grammy map. Their 2nd Grammy was for the same category with Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy, a purely instrumental piece done with voices. I believe this was done to support their claim to the Instrumental part of the Grammy category.

Yeah, this is a mashup of a bunch of different songs. I've seen people say 7 songs, but I'm not overly familiar with Daft Punk so I can't verify. (Technically, medleys are a bunch of songs strung together in whole or part one after the other and mashups are the songs intertwined and mixed up). This one was from 2013 and, yeah, Mitch stands out in these really old videos for not standing out... you'll also find that he sang a LOT lower in general back then. It amuses me in the Mackelmore cover how they make a big deal out of where he hits the high note... and it just isn't that high compared to modern Mitch. Mitch, himself, referred to 2011 The Sing-Off Mitch as "masc Mitch". It feels like after they got a new recording contract he felt more enabled to play around and find himself and how he was happiest in his vocals, style and life in general. It was around 2015 that the other members started talking a LOT about how happy they were Mitch was coming into his own, though getting him recognition was something they raved about as early as their time on The Sing-Off.

But believe me, their work together is unmatched, even by what they do in Pentatonix.

This is from their early days. Mitch was only a couple of years out of high school, and was still hesitant to explore his own vibe. The extra weight was part of his 'emotional protection,' and the burden of fitting in. Once he started to feel confident in his own skin, the real Mitch began to bloom, and we got to share in the many sides of his beautiful, creative self, both visually and acoustically.

As I recall, Mitch got bullied a lot online about his weight in the early few years by cunts on the internet. He looked perfectly healthy to me. I don't know if it was due to that that he started losing weight but I remember worrying about whether he was well during that transition time because his eyes always looked so dark and sunken and he sometimes looked pale. But eventually, he started looking healthier and more vibrant again but with less weight and (usually) neat hair and fashion.

Love Pentatonix, I love a lot of great Acapella groups, I've just recently discovered your channel through your last PTX reaction so I haven't had a chance to go through and watch the rest of your videos yet so I don't know what other groups you've actually already been introduced to but a few other great groups like this are Home Free, Voiceplay and also don't forget Voctave, sometimes they get overlooked because they're a different kind of Acapella group as far as that they have quite a few more members and their style is quite different than the other groups but they are absolutely amazing, I hope you will take the time to check them out. A few of my recommendations for them would be their Disney Princess Medley, or the Disney Love Medley in which they feature Kirstin from PTX and her then fiance Jeremy, also their newer cover of a song called You Will Be Found in which they featured a 1000 member virtual choir done during quarantine. Anything you choose by them would be fantastic though and you wouldn't be disappointed even though their style is different than these other acapella groups are, they are just as amazing and I'd have to say probably one of my top favorites although I love them all!
