You know how people say, "I clicked on this one soooo fast"? Well, I clicked slowly. When I saw this title, I got up out of bed, put on my glasses, waited for my neighbor to finish parking her car, and clipped a rough fingernail that had been annoying me. I was NOT going to permit ANY distraction to mar my enjoyment of this reaction. I'm so glad you liked Meghan's original! Pentatonix could not have made such a masterpiece of a mediocre song. The PTX version didn't lose any of the sass, but to me, it was classier. Meghan's is so sexy that she seems like a tease--trying to seduce even as she pushes away. Mitch isn't mixing messages. He says NO, and he means it. Scott and Kirstin are a tad less emphatic when they take the lead, but the message isn't mixed. Of course, comparisons aren't fair, when PTX always has the advantage with Kevin and Avi to add panache! Thanks for a great video, Jarod. The "comparison" mode suits you well, because you always appreciate both.
Love This! Meghan Trainor even tweeted her excitement about PTX covering her song! She is so sweet! This was recorded during what I'm beginning to think of as the year Mitch Grassi had matured to perfection, like a fine wine. Things kinda "clicked" for him it seems, and his command of the stage and sass when performing was fabulous! He had that side bang which was first black, then blonde and finally purple. Shortly thereafter he shaved his head. But it was During the "Year of the Side Bang" that he really started throwing his own sassy personality and dancing into his performances! This is also the year he began wearing the high-fashion clothing. The tour they did that year is when the Epic Mitch Grassi performance of "Aha!" in Singapore (at the Star Vista) took place! He's been dialed-in ever since! So thrilled to watch this with YOU! 😊 I love hearing about your little ones! My favorite thing of all time is that I'm a mom, and a new-ish grandma (ages 4 & 1)! I got spoiled with those blessings! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️... p. s. my baby turns 18 Friday... eek! For the 1st time since 1983 I could truly become an empty nester 😭😞... gulp!
Often the PTX cover is the first time I hear a song. Also often is that your comparison is the first time I see the original. Great comparison reaction. Keep the PTX reactions coming.
Thank you! These comparison videos are a great idea. For some reason I always appreciate the Pentatonix version more after hearing it next to the original. Great job as always. And enjoy that baby. Congrats.
Thank you! Loved this! You (and everyone else) always seem so amazed by what they do with just five voices and There’s still lots of PTX genius for you to explore! Looking forward to whatever PTX performance you chose next!
Another possible comparison would be “Problem” originally done by Ariana Grande and covered by PTX. Also don’t forget to take a look at PTX’s “Valentine” - I know it’s a cover but don’t know who the original artist is.the PTX version is beautiful and has a ethereal quality to it.
YAY another comparison. I really like these. And as usual, PTX just kills it. Way better than the original. Just 5 voices but so full. They made it sound like so much more.
Great reaction, and thanks for the comparison. I saw Meghan's video a few years ago, and it was fun to see them together this way. A couple of suggestions: I know you really love Scott's voice, so you might want to check out a duet he did with Caitlin Notey of the song "Creep". It's crazy good. And I know I've asked before, but it would be great to see your reaction to PTX Thrift Shop, which is funny but also full of amazing harmonies.
I've heard the original several times and watched the PTX version as well, of course, and like you said I think the song is very well written but to me, PTX improved on the original. By a lot. I think that you still have a number of the Superfruit Future Friends videos. There are three of you guys who all managed to stumble on to PTX and SF at about the same time and I have trouble remembering who has reacted to which. (I'm old. It happens.) but do remember that there were videos to all 14 songs on the standard edition of FF.
