Of all the people I have watched react to this, you're the first person who noticed Scott handling the bass will Matt was in the spotlight. AND Matt's slide into bass at the end. Matt and Scott are as much of a powerhouse duo as Matt and Kevin are!
After seeing comments I went back and listened just to him and dang!! So much to listen to when you hear their songs you have to listen a million times
I personally see Matt as such an amazing addition to the lineup..he's bubbly, goofy, INSANELY talented, and he has the sound and training for their sound. Just like Avi was a perfect match for PTX at their start, the baton has been passed gracefully and Matt is the perfect match for PTX as they journey onward. Matt really showcases his talent in their rendition of "you're a mean one, Mr. Grinch!", so please react to that one!
His vocal range on that song is incredible, to the point of making a chest voice A4, which is even difficult for Scott (baritone), now imagine for Matt (Bass).
@@Fairburne69 where Avi is now is completely different from where PTX are. And while I'm sure they keep in touch regularly, they're both on parallel paths that may not cross again for quite some time. At least not until it works out for both Avi and PTX. I'd like to see it, though..to see and hear all SIX of them do a song or three together. That would be...magic.
Matt was indeed a great addition. Not only for his vocal skills but for the quality of his humanity. Finding one person who is at the very top of what they do, AND are humble is rare. To have 5 in the same group, it’s unmatched.
I love Matt so much and I’m so happy he’s a part of the group/family. He also just meshes so well with them personality-wise. The PTXperience videos with Matt just made me love him and the BAND (😂) even more
Thank you for reacting to this amazing Pentatonix video. Glad that you enjoyed it. I appreciate you for giving Matt proper respect. He is incredible. It is irritating when reactors (and others) can't let go and ignore the fact that Avi chose to leave Pentatonix in 2017. Matt has been with Pentatonix for 4 years and he is a ray of light in the world and a very talented artist.
Sir, kudos to you. In Kirstin’s verse there’s a call and response from Kristin, to Scott, to Mitch, to Kevin who puts an exclamation point on the line. NO ONE ELSE has mentioned what a great visual that is. Very well done. (I also appreciated how you mentioned Scott’s bass lines.)
THIS was the song that made me fall in love with Matt's voice. SOOOOO RICH!! Every time I hear this one, his voice gives me chills. Scott is amazing as well... he has a large range and a really smoothe timber. They're ALL so good in this one, but Matt's part always, ALWAYS leaves me wanting MORE of him. LOL. Can we talk about the vocal perc/beatboxing for a minute? He DRIVES this piece. That perc is what keeps the piece MOVING. SO well done. Also, this is the version of the song that I felt like it FINALLY put the emotion into this piece that it has needed for years. (I like Disturbed's version just as much, but this one I feel puts the kind of emotion into it that the original SHOULD have had.) Don't come for me please. I mean no disrespect to the original either, it's just that the other two covers hit harder for me. That's all. ☺️
Appreciate the details you mention... especially Mitch's diction to emphasize consonants. Most often, singers are taught to 'sing on the vowels' which is not wrong. It's just another dimension Mitch adds to his voice - countertenor with superb chest voice, to my ear. But everyone in the group has an amazing range. Thanks for this reaction and analysis.
I grew up listening to Simon & Garfunkel's music & had their album with this song Sound Of Silence. Absolutely loved them & their harmonies. You should listen to the original & then try the version of this song by Peter Hollens & Tim Foust. They do a beautiful job with their contrasting voices.
Listening to PTX doing Hallelujah and Sounds of Silence are what got me into Home Free and other Acapella groups. In the responses the other groups were mentioned. PTX has amazing Christmas music.
@@creativecrewfam don't forget to add Home Free into that mix. If you've never heard of him an artist with another amazing voice is Teddie Swims. He has a lot of Christmas standards.
I can't thank you enough for your explanation of the voices. I have been a Pentaholic starting when they were on the 3rd season of the Sing-off. Your explanation help me to understand why their voices hit me so wonderfully. Have you done Imagine? The WALL of sound that is before Kevin's solo is magical.
I've seen quite a bunch of reactions to this song and you are the only one, who noticed, as you called it, this "nice visual" 👏 And those small visual details, they use in their videos are true cherries on top and make me appreciate them and their producers even more 🙂
When they sang the word 'sound' at the end, it makes me feel and visualize a light summer rain where the rain is warm, the raindrops are tiny but there are so many that you end up getting soaked. At the same time, the sun is out. That type of rain is almost cleansing. It feels like it can wash away the intensity of strong energy. Such a phenomenal choice to end a song with such strong, intense vocals with that light, cleansing sound.
I’d love to see you react to some superfruit, which is a side project of Mitch and Scott. They have a lot of great medleys and then some just hilarious things. They also made a whole album called “future friends”
November is Alzheimers awareness month. I am requesting that you react to Glenn Campbell's final recording after being diagnosed with Alzheimers in his early 70s. His final recording was I'm Not Going to Miss You. He performed his final music tour after diagnosed from Aug 2011 to Nov 2012 with nearly 150 show throughout North America and Europe. Please dedicate to patients and families dealing with this horrid disease.
This is a beautiful version of the song, but Chris, have you heard the Disturbed cover. It has a deeper/ darker power, while this one is more upbeat, almost praising.
You are only missing one group for the Accapella tri-fecta..... and that is Voiceplay. They are every bit as good if not better than ptx and home free. Most fans of one of those groups are fans of all three...i know its another huge rabbit hole but if you are trying to grow your channel pick any voiceplay song that looks interesting to you and just watch the jump in subscribers you get...plus they are amazing... pentaholics and home fries can i get an Amen?!
I concur that completes the trifecta of Acapella royalty lol! But.....while you're at it ya might as well check out the all female acapella group Citizen Queen & the all kids acapella group AcaPop Kids.....both of whom are proteges under Scott & PTX's wings & have the Ben Bram magical fairy dust sprinkled on their sound just like PTX. Insanely talented & way underrated. For Citizen Queen may I suggest Never Enough or Evolution of Girl Groups. For AcaPop Kids definitely check out Fix You. Love the acapella reactions & can't wait to see more!
I have had a crush on Voiceplay's bass singer, Geoff Castellucci, for years-- his bass is incredible! Although I am a Pentaholic, I love to listen to Voiceplay, especially Geoff's solo work, at Halloween time the way I love to listen to Pentatonix at Christmas time.
lol is it just me or is he exactly saying the same things Tara Simon said on her reaction video? The thing about Mitch using consonants to jump between syllables. The thing about Kirstie smiling and showing her teeth?
Scott is not in ANY way a tenor. He is a baritone with bass range. Mitch is a tenor I think you are confusing ranges. The only other tenor in the group (believe it or not) is Kevin.
@@Texastigerdigsdetects What kind of musical training do you have? I bet little to none. I've sung for the Pope in a private audience and sang in St. Peter's for an Evensong service. I know lots about music.
@@creativecrewfam Very worth it. General consensus seems to be that the one live performance is their better version, but both it and the official video are great anyway.
As much as I loved Avi, his baseline personality seems rather gloomy and difficult. Matt is a bubbly, charming, and extremely positive person, and he's never afraid to be silly. Many have said it, but the truth of the matter is that he fits with the group much better than Avi. And as beautiful his voice, I've never been as enchanted with Avi 2.0. He's become a Tennessee hillbilly, full of grievance and confrontative masculinity, but then, perhaps I just haven't seen enough of his work to understand it better. I sure loved the opera singer that he once was and might have been.
