I just wish there was a POV of the judges when Mitch suddenly gets the solo part. That moment alone is just fucking incredible. To this day, I still think that Pentatonix are masters of silence, and the more they put out the more obvious it gets. Filling the entirety of your a-capella song with background on just 5 people requires MASSIVE talent, but being able to turn that entire wall of sound to complete, unwavering silence is just fucking witchcraft.
I remember watching this and knew when Mitch came out and hit that note that they were going to win. It was so good. Still going strong and it's 10 years later. I hope I can say the same in the future
Yes, agree. It's boggling to me that the judges never mentioned it, not here, and not in the ET performance where he also did it. They just... ignored it? Don't get it. Unless they did mention it on the day(s) but it didn't make the broadcast edit? Dunno, but it's weird.
Its 2023 And I've been a fan for about 5 years. I finally went back to see The sing off... All their performances. No words. this song is electric. They were so fully formed even then. Wow!
It was so fun to watch as it happened. Pentatonix was a complete game changer in this season of the Sing Off and I knew from the first moment they were going to win.
I saw somewhere a few years back where Shawn and PTX were reunited onstage (maybe it was onstage, it was on tv for sure) somewhere (not singing together) and he still acts like a proud Papa whenever he is near them.
I vividly remember watching all of their performances live when this show was on. It is crazy how much Scott in particular has improved over the years. They were incredible back then, but Scott in particular has gained so much vocal control and range over the years.
I just looked at the songs the judges gave to the other groups - the definitely gave the heavy hitter and the hardest and most complicated one to sing to PTX and I think PTX killed it more than the other groups did. The next hardest was to Urban Method (who came in 3rd) and the bass and percussion on that one were no where near as hard as Dog Days Are Over's.
I love how Ben used to say part of what makes PTX great is how they include surprise in their performance, and you could tell how he loved the surprise when they did I Need Your Love and it ended with showcasing Avi's voice.
Every member of this group is pure class and I can rave about them forever. But Mitch? Mitch is just so precioud and you get this feeling he's so fragile one moment and so strong the next. His voice cuts deep and he can evoke any and every emotion by song alone. We all know where these guys are now, but what about another 10, 20 or 30 years. What musical gifts will they keep on giving us?
PENYATONIX WAS ONLY THE GREATEST WHEN ARI WAS ON THERE THERE JUST GOOD NOW. IF THEY HAD GIVEN HIM MORE MIC TIME WITH HID AWSOME BEAUTIFUL VOICE HES STILL BE THERE
He a wasn't ready for the type of schedule they had to do in their first 5 years. He is close with his family and needs to be with them more often than not. Missing a few years holidays for work is one thing, but he didn't want to do that for the rest of his young years. So yeah, it is what is.
