Bohemian Rhapsody ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ojRj2JK5oCI.html PTX does Upgrades not covers LOL They took 5 yrs arranging this one and making it Freddie worthy. Blonde guy Scott took over Bass for Arab looking guy Avi when he sang in Hallelujah . Fergie girl is Kirstin, Kevin the beat boxer and Mitch the Angel. Great reaction. Glad you're back 😎
Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk medley, Problem, No, Can't Hold Us, Sing, all of their Christmas songs. Oh, also Imagine, Somebody That I Used To Know, Say Something, Wizard of Ahhhs. Just everything by them.
This group won 3 Grammy awards in their early career. Daft Punk was the first Grammy win, then Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and number 3 was a collaboration with Dolly Pardon of Jolene. Their covers are upgrades and they honor the original artists but at the same time put their spin on it. Avi Kaplan (pronounced Ah-Vee) is the basso profundo. He is my favorite. I can hear the smooth lows as he supports the oher members. And as you said, he has an amazing range. They are all musical geniuses. Avi left the band for personal reasons and amicably in September 2017. He is doing solo work and killing it. I hope you will react to his music as well. He's a new album entitled Floating on a Dream and his story telling/writing skills are beautiful. I loved your reaction though I was sad so much was cut. Hopeful you will have better success going forward. btw, the Pentatonix fans, a.k.a. Pentaholics, are super and will support you on this journey!
Loved your reaction, but so sad we had to miss so much of the video. Other reactors put text overlay on the video or an opaque layer on it and pause often. A few have cartooned the vid or even made everyone green. Any of those would be preferable to cutting major parts out. There are some 200+ songs that Pentatonix have done...some covers and some originals. Members: Tall blond guy = Scott Hoying ( Baritone) Arab looking guy ( beard, dark hair) = Avi Kaplan (bass) Beatboxer = Kevin Olusola ( tenor) also plays cello while beatboxing Blond (occasionally black haired, red haired or other colours) female = Kirstin Maldonado ( mezzo soprano) Dark haired male with hat (changes his looks frequently) = Mitch Grassi ( counter tenor) Avi left the group in 2017 to chase a solo career and was replaced by Matt Sallee Some suggestions: Covers = Daft Punk, Sounds of Silence, Bohemian Rhapsody, Come Along, Say Something , Favourite Things, When The Party's Over, Dreams, Mary Did You Know, Can You Feel The Love. Originals: Love Again, Be My Eyes, Love Me When I Don't, Coffee In Bed, Happy Now, Run To you, The Lucky Ones.
Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! There are literally thousands and thousands of us who will watch every PTX video you react to! Quite honestly, every video of theirs is gold, but a few of my favorites are Daft Punk, Amazing Grace, The Prayer, and literally anything else in their catalog that might tweak your interest! Looking forward to beginning this journey with you!
Pentatonix is amazing, I agree. Use text over the video, distort the video, use a semi-transparent filter, there are many ways of getting around blocking. Many of us have seen the original video so many times that we know it by heart anyway. Thanks for the reaction.
Hey! Thanks for the info. So we tried a bunch of things and it kept getting blocked. Could you link me a couple of the videos you're talking about, maybe that way we can analyze exactly what the reactors did. Pretty pleaseeeee
@@ArabManReacts Here are 3 links for reactors who don't usually get blocked anymore... hope it helps! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YdDjeiRfCPw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Empl0e9oBmQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R9tiIHVos2I.html
@@ArabManReacts Here is an example of Text over the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRlFBvhPB4Y.html Example of lowering the opacity/increasing transparency ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-puX5lr_a100.html Sometimes you need to do both, or add more breaks for comments (that can help with the audio), but as mentioned, its "usually" the video that triggers most of the blocking. Their record label SME is notorious for being a pain in the butt with blocking their vids. The Evolution videos, as well as tracks that don't have a music video (or just a visualizer) are far less likely to get blocked as well.
@@ArabManReacts Sure, but since you are probably going to react to these videos, please don't watch them all the way through. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Empl0e9oBmQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kuUu4fIPRGU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LVnRmB0tB7U.html The reactors also pause every few minutes to comment on what they are seeing/hearing. Pauses help.
@@ArabManReacts ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WjnP4P-_By8.html That's one but most of the ones in my watch history didn't even have anything over or only had a basic filter so I'm not sure why some get copyright and others don't. 😮💨
PTX does a lot of "evolution" videos that are filmed on a sofa live without any fanfare - just them and their incredible voices. They are far less likely to be blocked. Evolution of Michael Jackson Evolution of Music Evolution of Rhianna 90's Dance Medley Evolution of Beyonce Are just a few they do that give you tons of exposure to what this group is capable of. In my opinion, their live performance of Aha! In Singapore taken by a fan - do also one that will never be blocked - is the best of the best of Mitch's incredible talent. Also, as others have suggested, the 2016 Popspring performance has a 4-in-1 benefit with 3 original songs and the Michael Jackson medley. It's a bit longer, of course, but incredible each and every song. Have fun with your PTX journey; the Pentaholics will be right here with you as you discover more of them.
I would start with the evolutions, then there are just sooo many more AWESOME ones, like Mary Did You Know, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody, Daft Punk, The Prayer, their original music.. EVERYTHING hahahaha.. Thank you for reacting to them
I'm so happy you enjoyed this!!! You are in for a FUN RIDE down the Rabbit Hole that is Pentatonix!. Also, regarding copyright - Many reactors simply blur the video or overlay graphics or text over the video, which appears to generally appease the copyright holders. I recommend doing that vs. cutting out portions of your reaction :-). ALSO - You have a FANTASTIC voice!
Hey! We tried a bunch of things and it kept getting blocked. Could you pretty please link me a couple of the videos you're talking about? Nothing we did appeased the copyright lords :S
@@ArabManReacts This song is the one most likely to get blocked. It's the main song almost all new PTX reactors start out with. You may have less trouble with other songs that are not as popular with beginner PTX reactors. Try Love Again (original), La La Latch ( cover), Happy Now (original), Papaoutai ( Stromae cover), Run To You (original).
@@ArabManReacts Here's a link to a reaction video of the same song. This creator uses words on top of the video. I don't understand the copyright lords....they are SO inconsistent in how they enforce :-( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wRlFBvhPB4Y.html
Thank you for your reaction, every song you pick from them will never ever be disappointed or flat😏, and Its Not! "The" Pentatonix is just "Pentatonix"🙂 for short "PTX"
Loving your channel! I'm completely bummed that you cut out so much of the video, but we do understand the ferocity of the copyright police, and the PTX label can be brutal. A lot of reactors just write some text over the video, and that seems to work. We don't care about seeing the video, because we've watched it dozens of times before, but we do want your reactions. As you've noticed, Pentatonix is full of brilliant surprises that can creep up in the most unexpected places, and watching you experience them for the first time is always a thrill. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole! You will never be the same again. 🙂
“When Fergie looking girl” 😂😂😂 True story, I saw them in concert December 21, 2021 and was in Kevin’s section when the did an audience participation section. He had us hitting our chest with some other things. Before we were done, I was sore! 😅
As soon as I read that you had to cut parts I knew we were going to be missing Mitch 😭 That's disappointing just because I know the reaction would have been amazing. For future reference, most PTX blocks are due to the video rather than the audio. Next time try just cutting the video - most reactors lower the video opacity and/or put text across it, the fans understand - and it *should* get through. With Pentatonix there are a LOT of options and it just depends on where you want to go with them. Sticking to just lives will cut that down considerably, but there are still a lot. If you will watch official videos (with studio audio) then we're talking around 200 options. They have covers and originals. If you're open to longer videos, arguably their best live was a 4 song set done at a concert 8n Japan and filmed by Mtv in 2016. Under 20 minutes long, it's great quality plus it's 3 original songs they wrote and their Evolution of Michael Jackson. It's called Popsprings - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GMHqYxpnzk.html If you want to hear them at the top of their game on the belters, they covered Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli's The Prayer on their most recent Christmas album. The official video is amazing but there are also a couple really good live performances (the bass might even be easier to hear in some of the lives). Here's one from iHeartRadio - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ft6dXn9_5Y.html The lives for I Just Called To Say I Love You are also phenomenal and it's not one of my favorites (not enough Mitch! 😅). Most use The Ellen Show, but the one I have saved is from The Today Show - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AlkSOLxawls.html Both of these are late last year, so they're "current" PTX in their dynamic, vocals and members (you'll notice the original bass with the beard, Avi, left in 2017 and Matt came in later that year... the only member change no matter what your eyes tell you)
Glad you enjoyed the song, and enjoyed the parts of your reaction that you could post. Hopefully some of the suggestions others have made will help you get past the copyright blocks for the future. Personally I prefer the "make the video so high contrast it looks like a cartoon" method. If worst comes to worst, I've even seen reactors who don't show the video at all, just let the audio play for their audience, while we get to see their full reaction. Anything that works will be much appreciated by the Pentaholics (Pentatonix fans)! Hope we will be seeing more (complete!) Pentatonix reactions in the future! FYI - it's just "Pentatonix", not "THE Pentatonix". While it doesn't bother me to speak of, some people seem to get bent out of shape by it.
Welcome to the rabbit hole……lol. Enjoy the journey. Bohemian Rhapsody Daft Punk Medley Sound of Silence My Heart With You The Prayer Coffee in Bed Sing Come Along Can’t Hold Us Amazing Grace
Lives from ptx I recommend are the evolution of Ariana grande, popspring 2016, or gold. They have original music too, I recommend happy now, coffee in bed, and can't sleep love.
I'm going to add to the Pentaholics who've told you your reaction is great but will be even better if you blur the video & put your logo in front of it for copyright, but we hear the whole song & your entire reaction! Get ready for the craziness that is reacting to PTX! Welcome!
Great reaction my guy. The beatboxer is KO (Kevin Olusola). I say many artist use an 808, PTX uses a KO8!. P.S. trust me the work ethic of all five individuals is ridiculous. They put in the hours and it shows. Much love and keep on keepin on J.
You don't need to cut portions 9f the video. Lay a watermark over the screen, pause from time to time, run it in mirror image, etc. There are many different ways to avoid copyright strikes. However, as you react to more Pentatonix and watch your subs explode with Pentaholics, you will find a ton of suggestions on how to help ys enjoy your content more. Anyway...great reaction.
I enjoyed what I got to see of your reaction. If you do more PTX (and I hope you do), you have to include all of the audio. Do what you must to the video and pause often. Thanks for the reaction
Thank you Angela! We tried so many ways to actually get the video online without cutting it but RU-vid wouldn't let us. Hopefully with other videos it'll be different.
Pentaholics will subscribe to you by the thousands if you find a way to get around copyright other than to cut portions of the music. Do whatever you have to the video, but not the audio, please.
Wait till you get to "Bohemian Rhapsody", it's crazy. If more live I would suggest Popspring 2016, 3 originals and the evolution of Michael Jackson. fun stuff.
Great reaction. Subscribed for more Pentatonix. Pentatonix fans (Pentaholics)are peculiar. We are generally very picky and protective of the band. You will hear that the band is Pentatonix and not The Pentatonix. You probably have a superior sound system so you don’t need headphones, fans will get on your case anyway. Headphones make a world of difference listening to any a cappella band. With eleven years of music, both covers and originals, they have a vast library of music. Enjoy.
From the small part of your reaction that I got to see I know I would love to watch you react but so much was chopped out. Most reactors put either text or make the video semi transparent to get away from the SME copyright demons. I hope to see more reactions from you to Pentatonix in the future.
I just added 10 songs to our list of videos to react to so they will be coming, I just hope we can figure out the copyright thing because it really isn't cool to have to delete portions of a video.
All of their stuff before Avi left. not to be disrespectful to the new guy ,but i liked it better with Avi. learned about them when a local radiostation played their "Daft Punk Medley"and been a fan since...until Avi left.
Will shoot it over the weekend and publish it sometime next week. I think we might have figured out the not cutting the video thing too so hopefully it’ll be the entire thing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@ArabManReacts Just checking up with you, making sure you're still in my list and YT doesn't delete 😉. It would be cool if we could watch together in real time. No hurry, I'm just excited. See you soon, and hope you're well and safe.
I love your perfectionist's anger. But no need, plenty of love to go around. My favorite PTX songs are Bohemian Rhapsody and Mary Did You Know. Would love to see your reactions to those as well.
First singer was Scott who is a baritone with an Amazing range, than Avi is bass, when Avi sings Scott takes over bass, than Kirsty a Soprano with another Amazing range, than Mitch who is a rare counter tenor, who is Amazing and last but not least is Kevin the beat boxer extraordinaire. He also plays an Amazing cello in some of their videos. Only one cast change and that was Avi who left in 2017 and was replaced with Matt as the new bass. Try a filter on the videos most can get by without one but in case it gets blocked use the filter.
I wanted so see and hear Avi but you skipped over him. He's Jewish and absolutely divine. He's the bass and the best ever. And Mitch. OMG Oh, the boys to men song was performed by the other acapella group HomeFree. :)
Instead of cutting out parts of the song, put a filter over the video and pause regularly- you are going to piss a lot of Pentaholics off. If you want to increase your numbers, you don't want to piss off the Pentaholics! You cut the best parts of the song!
Hey! Could you pretty please send me links to videos that do that. We tried so many ways to get around the block but nothing worked. I'd really apprecaite it.
There are other ways of getting around copyrights other than cutting out whole verses and the individual artists performance. Blur the screen, put a disclaimer on the screen, but just don’t hack away at the song.
Hey! We tried a bunch of those things and RU-vid kept blocking the video. Could you send me links of videos with those solutions on them, maybe we can study exactly what they did and figure it out. I'd really appreciate it
Sadly I can't subscribe....I wanted to but with parts of the vocals removed....nope. Check out what the other reactors are doing because of the copyrights. You'll get more subs, I promise. I'll check back another day. :)
Sorry, it does not matter how good they (P) vocally are - they just don`t get the character of the song. And that`s why it is becoming deadly boring (nothing but a very nice package).
