Kevin is an insanely talented beat boxer but he is soooo much more. He is also a classically trained cellist, plays piano/keyboard, used(?) to play the sax extremely well, has a degree from Yale in pre-med and Asian studies, speaks five languages including flawless Mandarin Chinese, writes and produces music and "invented" the genre cello-boxing which combines playing the cello and beat boxing along with it. He was preparing for med school when Scott found a KZitem video of his cello boxing and essentially had to beg him to come to LA to try out with PTX for the Sing-Off competition. All five of them first met the day before the audition and the rest is history.

Run to You is an original by Pentatonix. It is powerful, devastating, and utterly beautiful. Avi and Kevin brought a first draft to the rest of the group and together they finished and arranged it. The video is set outside in the snow. During the chorus (if I remember correctly), the snow appears to rise rather than fall. I read in a comment that the group learned to appear to sing the chorus backwards so that it would appear when run in reverse as though they were singing normally while the snow seems to rise. I hope all of this is true. This is one of my favorite songs and videos of theirs.

Their Beyonce medley and Empire medley are great. The broadway musical Wicked told the prestory to the Wizard of Oz. Scott and Mitch sing together in Defying Gravity from that show.

Try to hear it again with headphones on and see if you notice a difference + see if you get a new reaction which is what you and we want as a reactors. Unless you can compensate with a high quality sound system that can give the same or better experience where nothing is lost of course ;P.

This is a great reaction, and yes Kevin is great, but the reason they nail the beat is because Kevin of Kevin's beatboxing and Avi's bass skills

You have to watch Bohemian Rhapsody and the video of Aga recorded live at the star Vista. Also they all have solo work and Scott and Mitch have their own group called Superfruit with amazing original songs

So, Kyle, welcome to Pentatonix world!! PTX made a huge splash in 2011 on the A Capella singing competition show "Sing Off." All of those performances are on KZitem so go dig them up and binge watch them...You will NOT regret it! This group does all of their own arranging. They use no electronic effects (other than maybe a little reverb...) for their recordings and post-mix efforts. No auto-tune, bass box, electronic kit - nothing. Everything they do is pure body and voice produced. This particular recording is what won them their 1st Grammy. The story goes they recorded the audio in their apartment's closet and all the video was done in the kitchen with stuff bought at Home Depot/Lowes. Total cost to make this vid was something like $150. I haven't seen them live but would love the chance some day! As for your editing - you're not doing bad. Honest!! I would recommend ALWAYS using headphones so you don't get the speakers feeding back and creating an echo effect though. Also, good headphones make PTX sound AMAZING!! (Even cheap ones do!!) Next up, you need to listen to some Home Free, then Voice Play and a little Voctave. They're all A Capella groups that are making it in the modern music industry!

At the end they sang all 4 songs at the same time! This is one of my favorites! Avi did the circular breathing to make the "swirling" sound. They are such a tight group! Their cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" is also great.

You need to watch their live stuff. A lot of people don’t believe they’re actually legit until they see them live. To hear the new guy you can watch “Making Christmas”. It’s one of my kids’ favorites, along with “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “God Rest You Merry Gentlemen” Also, Avi is my boy and he has a few videos out which you would probably enjoy, especially “Change on the Rise”. It’s a very different sound but shows so much of his range and abilities.

As others may have told, Pentatonix thow their very last pennies together to make this video. Winning the Grammy was both, well eraned and the best thing that could happend at that time. And no, they are singing in the "what you see is whay you get"-style. Keep going! Oh, and sorry if I have mistyped or misplaced some words. I am not an english native speaker...

Subscribed. I watched the first three reaction and you are so good at this! I'm sure you have so many recommendations already, but if you want to hear the new guy, definitely check out The Sound of Silence. It's really up there with Hallelujah and it shows off the new bass as well as Scott on the bass. Their new bass' name is Matt Sallee and he's wonderful. He really fits with the group not just vocally but also with his personality. He's been with them for two years now. He's a different kind of bass than Avi, obviously. It would be almost impossible to find another Avi. Matt is a baritone with his register extending pretty low and the group is taking advantage of that. His bass is also on a softer side, which however fits for the sound they are going for now. I hope you keep this up, I really love your style of reacting.

When they recorded it, they had just been dropped from the record deal they won on the 3rd season of the show called "The Sing-Off" (same thing happened to the two previous winners). Not wanting to give up on their dreams, and with only $300, they recorded it in a bedroom closet and filmed it in one of their kitchens, then uploaded it on KZitem. This song won them their first of three Grammy's, and skyrocketed them into stardom.

Matt, the new guy, brings an energy to the group that you didn't realize was lacking until he arrived. He's positive, warm with a voice like honey, and has fit in beautifully. Watch Grinch, or Making Christmas. He's wonderful. Avi is also, but I think Avi is much happier making his own music at his own pace. I love Avi, but his moving on was a win-win situation for him AND the group. I've been watching them mature since 2011. They have all become stronger and more skillful singers, and what they do together now almost defies explanation. In many ways it IS magic!!!

I Love this Kyle. Pentatonix can do so many different styles. They are so talented. I had never seen this video or knew who Daft Punk was before two weeks ago. That is when I discovered reactions and you were one of the first ones that I visited. I have been back many times. You are a polite young man with a lot of knowledge about music and styles etc. I enjoy your channel very much Kyle. Take care, Barbara

Omgosh, your dog is gorgeous! You aren't too bad yourself either! 😁 Please keep reacting to Pentatonix & throw in some Superfruit as well! I really love how you are so blown away by their talent. The more you watch, the more amazing they become. I don't think there is anything that they can't do! All their covers are upgrades & their originals are just amazing in my opinion! Your channel is my favorite so keep up the great work! ❤

They are all super talented. On the show they won Avi & Kevin were called Meat & Potatoes. They were roommates from the show on for a long time & still best friends. I saw a video of them teaching kids how they work together. Matt does great just a different sound & fits with their new more pop sound., but Avi is one of a kind & there are not many basso profundo out there. I respect his choice very much & love his new music.

It is so fun to watch someone discover this group! They have turned a cappella on its head. They love to find churches, garages, closets and such to create different sounds. I believe this was done at Kirstie’s house for around $400. Correct me if I’m wrong folks.

Matt is great! But yes, we all were devastated when Avi announced he was leaving. It was like how the heck can they continue on without him?? But Matt really fills his shoes well. But yes, old videos with Avi still stab at the heart. Crazy talented guy.
