Love that Mitch got to show off how beautiful his voice is even when he's not in his upper range. I liked your comments at the end. One thing I like about Pentatonix is their restraint. Even though you know Mitch and Kirstie could be up in the stratosphere, Matt down in the depths, Scott riffing on every cadence and Kevin beatboxing like crazy, if it doesn't serve the musical effect they are going for they don't do it.

This nurse advises that you check out their cover of “Imagine,” but make sure you have tissues or an old sweatshirt sleeve, to get a picture of Kevin’s vocal range. And next “Amazing Grace: My Chains Are Gone!” You might be close to cured after that…or it’ll completely set you back and you’ll have to be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. (maybe even the psych unit 😮)

Kevin has an absolutely gorgeous high range. You’ll hear that in Amazing Grace. For Matt, oof. There’s so much that showcases his talent. You really can’t go wrong. Another one of their 5-part harmonies that’ll knock you flat is Mad World. And if you need a good cry, cue up My Heart With You (with Matt) or Light in the Hallway (with Avi).

Glad you got to experience Matt this time! For the one that made me fall in love with him as Pentatonix's new bass - and finally let go of Avi in that role - I'd recommend 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.' Matt takes the lead vocal in that, and he totally, utterly OWNS it. Don't get me wrong, I loved Avi in the group and always will, but he could not have brought what Matt brought to that song. Their personalities are different, and that was the genius of hiring Matt instead of just trying to find 'Avi 2.0.'

For experiencing Matt You should listen to "Sound of Silence" and "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch". The last is a christmas-song, but Matt takes the lead - and You can hear their christmas-songs the hole year around. For Kevin singing You should listen to "Imagine" (official video) and "Mary did You know". And to his KOver of "Down".

Kevin is a musical alien. He is a master cellist (started playing at age 8), a master saxophonist (started playing at the age of 10) and has played both of these instruments at Carnegie Hall when he was just a teenager. He also plays keyboards, drums and who knows what else. He speaks multiple languages fluently and used his fluency in Mandarin when he worked at the Chinese American Embassy as a young man. He has a pitch perfect beautiful tenor voice and is a brilliant song writer, arranger and producer. Then, he was a Yale pre med graduate on his way to med scool to become a cardiologist when he agreed to join PTX for the tv competition they won. He was courted by every major ivy league school. His father is Nigerian and I think his mother is from the Caribbean and they both put an immense importance on education. That conversation he had with his parents (with a father who was a cardiologist) explaining how he wanted to switch career paths must have been something else. His parents are so supportive of him.! Love your reactions! Please check out Kevin's cover of Down and his other music on his you tube channel. It is all so mind melting!

Yes, although Kevin can do some beatboxing effects that create a bass beat, he is a tenor, and also has a nice falsetto. On songs like this, where they abandon the vocal bass and percussion and do 5-part harmonies, Kevin fills in one of the middle parts. When they do these 5-part songs live, they usually ask for quiet, put down their individual mics, stand around a light and just sing to each other. Like this live performance of "My Heart With You" from their 2022 Hollywood Bowl concert. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x5mJ0XqmqXN3oKg (FYI -- this was captured from the pay-per-view and posted by a fan, so should not get blocked)

I think you would also appreciate their covers of Blinding Lights and Dreams, which were both recorded around the same time as this (during covid when everone was stuck at home) as part of their Home EP. They each recorded their parts separately at home and sent them to be mixed & mastered. The harmonies being as tight and perfect is a testament to not just their mixer but also then and how well they already know eachother and work so well together that they can record a harmony without the others present and they all slot perfectly together. To hear more of how awesome Scott and Mitch blend, you need to start checking out Superfruit, their (old) side duo. Either their fun medleys (like the Hip Hop Goes Broadway 1 & 2, evolution of Lady Gaga, Beyonce medley etc) and covers (Happy Little Pill, feeling Myself), or their original stuff from the album Future Friends such as Guy.exe, .Imaginary Parties, Vacation, Groodbye from Lonely, etc) Matt really shows up on Amazing Grace, Sound of Silence, and Mad World, but You're A Mean One Mr Grinch is his song. It always amuses me when people have somehow got to thinking that because he is a beat boxer that Kevin has a low voice and then they discover he actually has that gorgeous tenor and some very pretty highs. Amazing Grace shows off a little Kevin too, as does Imagine (the video gets me in the feels everytime). But if you want to experience the true genius and gorgeous voice of KO then check out his solo KOver of Down by Marion Hill.

Yes, Kevin is a beatboxer. That doesn't make him a bass. Matt is the bass, and it's his rather quiet (compared to Avi) bass notes that make Kevin's beatboxing sound as full and rich as it does. The rhythm section in a band has two components - bass and percussion. In most bands that means a bass guitar and a drummer. In Pentatonix it means a bass singer and a beatboxer, but it's still two distinct components. When Kevin sings he's a tenor. Occasionally his voice will drop as far as the very top of the baritone range, but mostly he's a tenor. And his falsetto is gorgeous. I recommend subscribing to his personal KZitem channel: youtube.com/@kolusola I also recommend his KOver of Marian Hill's "Down": kzitem.info/news/bejne/qn2gzWVvbJplgqA

You're getting closer. Kirstin's first name rhymes with Thurston or "first in". This is my least favorite song on the "At Home" EP. All of the rest of the "normal" songs (excluding the medley) engaged me better, but I am not a fan of the original (and really dislike her video, which is creepy and off-putting). The rest of the EP is much more accessible, and won't put you on suicide watch. Try "Dreams" for lovely five-part harmony, or "Blinding Lights" or "Break My Heart" for infectious pop. The one song on the EP without a video might be the best, but you've probably never heard the original. (Well, you're British, so maybe you have.) Clean Bandit's "Cologne" is an unlikely a cappella target, but add in Kevin's cello and it works amazingly well.
