Hello! In today's video, we are going to be reacting to the one and only Pentatonix once more and this time, it's going to be their cover of Royals! I'm going to be honest here, this one was rough for me. I was honestly in sensory overload as I was watching this one and was so disappointed in the editing room while listening back because I realized that I missed so much more than what I thought while doing this video! But alas, as is the PTX curse. It's impossible to really get everything in on one sitting!
For those of you that don't know, this video will be covering not just a reaction to what I'm watching but I'll be talking about the things that I really enjoy about what the featured artist is doing. This can range from how they have composed their music from player to player if it's a band, or the drummer himself; and what I think they're doing really well technically as well as musically! I'll also do my best to convey and educate on the things that pop out to me so that we can all appreciate the artist and what they are doing! Of course, there's only so much that can be covered in a short RU-vid video so there are bound to be things that I've missed so bear with me! And now, time for the mandatory disclaimer!
NOTE:
This is going to be a reaction and analysis of the song meaning that I will be pausing the song a lot to give my thoughts, reactions and analysis so if you are here to just listen to the song with no meaningful feedback, this is not the video for you. Stay happy and healthy!
Thank you so much for stopping by and watching this video, I hope that you enjoy it!

I recommend checking out Problem (Ariana Grande cover). Kevin at one point is speaking and beatboxing at the same time! And Avi does a kind of humming baseline that is simply top tier. There's also a bit of a surprise in there that's fun to watch reactors emote about.

@JoyL351 Год назад

💯

@packerkats7578 Год назад

You’re doing great sweetie! 😉 Now check out Matt in New Rules x Are You That Somebody (mashup). Matt and Kevin kick it off with a killer rhythm section and continue to play off each other brilliantly throughout the song. Kevin’s percussion is so tight and Matt is crushing a super fun bass line. I think you’d really enjoy it. Cheers!

@titansfan23 Год назад

I second this!! If you haven't listened to love again it will blow your mind as well

@79Kleopatra Год назад

Yes, you'll love it!

@Badger77722 Год назад

Recommend PTX cover of Gold by Kiiara (recorded live) if you haven't already reacted to it. Listen to at least part of her version first, to hear how Mitch duplicates naturally what she used sampling and looping to accomplish. Kevin and Avi have a really nice rhythm section going throughout the song. And the "round" that the Trio does on the last verse is amazing!

@taniareads8751 Год назад

Yes, this!

@tamarasmith9060 Год назад

The look Mitch gives every time he does the line "I'm in love with being queen" just makes me 😂.

@okeydokey3120 Год назад

I will always listen to anything with Avi in it. I always listen enough times to pick out his notes. Thank you.

@melissacoviello2886 Год назад

Love this one and I was never into the original. Have you checked out their cover of Problem? Or Can’t hold us?

@melissacoviello2886 Год назад

Or cheerleader? I’m going to need to go look at your Pentatonix playlist.

@JoyL351 Год назад

Agreed! Problem and Can't Hold Us are amazing and are very drum and bass-heavy. Avi and Kevin absolutely kill it in both songs.

@ShaySwag18 Год назад

Welcome back. I have to listen to a Pentatonix song at least five times before I can hear everything, so you're not alone..

@tommieev5589 Год назад

I love when people notice the complexity of the bass line (and the harmonies, and the timing, and......well okay, all of the good stuff)

@darsynia Год назад

Right? That's why I was like OMG must do Royals, because it's one of the best examples of how good they sound before the bass and how much the bass ends up adding. Super delighted!

@bonnievonbraun6276 Год назад

I don't think you have done "Gold" yet. Kevin-and-Avi have a really nice little break-down. And of course tight timing and harmonies as usual from all. Mitch being exceptionally Mitch.

Great reaction I have the same problem I watch their videos repeatedly but can't stay away from focusing on Avi. You might enjoy his solo music along with all the other recommendations I saw. To experience his beautiful lower register I would suggest Black is the Color of my True Loves Hair with Peter Hollens.

@larryross9492 Год назад

Relax Dude! Wouldn't know you were nervous if you didn't tell me. You're one of my favorite reactors. Avi plays air base a lot on Bohemian Rhapsody.

@darsynia Год назад

Firstly, this is exactly what I wanted, I get totally overwhelmed when I KNOW about things and I want to share my excitement about it, and I can see that same kind of enthusiasm painted onto of your reaction here! I love that you're sharing that with us, the everything everywhere all at once-ness of how you feel! I'm with you on loving the way that Mitch sings this, his departures from the original and his joy, especially. I'm excited FOR you as someone who thinks that Avi's basslines are so fabulous because they get overlooked by everyone else's vocals and Kevin's beatboxing! As for a suggestion, whether or not you react specifically to take apart the song itself, I think you would really appreciate (in the same vein of Silent Night, when you KNOW the song but the things they do with it are special) the bassline in their version of Hallelujah, which is a song that often gets reactions but not so many people pick out what Avi's doing in it. He at times is much higher than you would expect and it makes the harmonies exquisite, especially during Kirsten and Mitch's parts. The dynamic build-up in that song is also just quite simply a master class, particularly the way they start with ahhs and move to more syncopation and lyric layers. Thank you so much for the shout-out, your reactions are so enjoyable because of your expertise and your delight in what you're hearing! I look forward to more reactions, for sure!

@annicajakobsson Год назад

Please check out some of Avi’s solo music, Change on the rise or Chains are great to start with. But really anything that man has ever done musically is amazing!

@charlottevan_8 Год назад

I totally agree. While Avi has stretched out into his own solo music, he still layers in his bass lines. You do need to react to some of his solo work, over 90% of which is original. 2019''s "Change on the Rise" is a good starting point, but do check out 2022's "I'm Only Getting Started", the official video. Avi and his band just started the 2nd phase of their US/Canada tour yesterday, to rave reviews (I went to 3 of his shows in 2019 - 3 of the best shows I've ever been to).

@rachellephipps1361 Год назад

This is one of my all time favorites from PTX! 💖

@heidifruchtl354 Год назад

This is why PTX doesn't do covers, they do upgrades. If you haven't done much Christmas music, pentaholics listen to PTX Christmas music all year long. And if there is any Christmas song you don't like, listen to the PTX version. Seriously, almost everyone hates the 12 days of Christmas, but I would like to hear what you think after. Besides, both Mitch and Kevin are alien unicorns.

@anglstampr1 Год назад

Lol... alien unicorns... I agree

@heidifruchtl354 Год назад

@@anglstampr1 there's another reactor who completely changed his logo, brand, everything, after he was exposed to PTX. He was advised to get a helmet for his reaction to Aha! Singapore star Vista video, he made it to right before Avi's low note, gave up, and went looking for a helmet. The only one he could find was his daughter's unicorn bike helmet. Which he named Slappy, to help protect him from the Mitch slaps. It only works some of the time.

Morning here, and I'm rushing to feed the cat and get to the grocery store, but I saw the notification and had to stop and listen. And this afternoon, when I'm not in a rush, I'll dig out my headphones and listen again, so I can properly hear Avi. In the meantime, just one suggestion. Aloe vera gel will REALLY help with that sunburn. Give it a try. Oh, and don't neglect your scalp. Your hair is short enough that I'm seeing red peeking through there, as well.

@df5199 Год назад

Recommend their cover of Come Along.

@kristinewalberg2938 Год назад

I wish my bass playing was as good as Avi's bass singing. He gets such a big beautiful, round tone while still seeming perfectly chill--he sounds just like a really talented bassist playing a really good quality bass. Kevin is phenomenal, Kirstie and Scott are amazing, but as a singer it's really Mitch that does it for me. I swear, he can literally sing anything and sound as good as (in the case of Bohemian Rhapsody) or better than the original. You didn't sound nervous at all, and I'm really enjoying your reactions.

@jerolddavis Год назад

Thing about Avi is he really isn't a super good fit stylistically with the other singers. But he's so damn good that it just doesn't matter 95% of the time.

@sharonsmith5296 Год назад

@okeydokey3120 Год назад

I'm impressed with the quality of every member of this group. I truly enjoyed your reaction.

@ptxlvr7150 Год назад

The ending, they dress the way they did in 2011-ish. Then think about what the last line says, It goes hand in hand with the same line in "The Lucky One's", if you need to listen to that one to figure it out. It is a very deep meaning to them, and is so much of a thank you to the fans.

@catherinelopresti7121 Год назад

Check out their covers of Gold, Problem and Mitch's cover of Your Power by Billie Eilish. They are awesome!

@dinaghikas7933 Год назад

It's important to remember, here and elsewhere in life, that simple and easy are two different things--simplicity is actually tough to pull off. It would actually probably be much easier for Pentatonix if they stuck to choral music, or showtunes, or madrigal pieces, rather than pop, because the simplicity of pop means it could easily go flat and dull in a cappella format. I personally love their 'Perfume' medley, and wish more people would react to it!

@lenakavanaghrattigan9522 Год назад

@anglstampr1 Год назад

Ok, so I just started watching your reactions videos... of Pentatonix... my very first video from them was Little Drummer Boy... I was in awe and loved Avi so much how he ran his bass lines (drummer fan here) so also Kevin is so amazing and so very good at what he does!! Then I started watching more and more of them and if you haven't yet been "Mitch Slapped" perhaps you are focusing on bass and drums a bit too hard... have you seen them do Aha? Their video is awesome, but the live version is simply incredible... as for videos, my ultimate favorites to date are 1) Sound of Silence, 2) Over the River featuring (Lindsey Sterling on violin) 3) Making Christmas and 4) My Favorite Things all are amazing videos in addition to the arrangements and harmonies and melodies... the bass lines are also so amazing throughout...you must see them...

@karenlong2477 Год назад

Pentatonix is still amazing. Matt does a good job. But there is and will be only one Avi. He can do things that cannot be replicated. His part is always so complex. Matt sounds great, but it was different with Avi. He definately is one of a kind.

@larryross9492 Год назад

There's Avi Let's Put on a Show PTX, and the new, cool PTX. Different but still cool. The end of the Avi era reminds me of how ephemeral these music periods are.

@rachellephipps1361 Год назад

@hawkeyescoffee6399 Год назад

I really enjoy your PTX reactions, I hope you do more. And you shouldn't worry about feeling nervous, I think that's normal whe you're out of practice. If you're getting overwhelmed by all 5 of these ridiculously talented aliens, perhaps you could start looking at their individual work: Avi has quite a good amount of solo stuff out now. Scott has a fairly new solo song called Mars. He also has some older stuff that he privated that you may find on fan reuploads (eg I Should Tell Ya Momma On You). He also has some duets with others outside the band such as with Rozzi Crane, Mario Jose, and Shoshanna Bean. Mitch has his Messer project from last year, with songs like Love Supply & Angel's Pray, as well as some older solo stuff that can be found floating about on fan reuploads (eg The Graveyard, and a cover of Billie Eilish's Your Power). Kevin has some on his K.O. channel, my favourite is the cover of Down and Sign of the Times. I know Kirstie has some too but I can't recall the name off the top of my head. Then Scott & Mitch had their duo Sup3rfruit, which has some fun stuff on there but I think you'd enjoy their Hip Hop Goes Broadway (1 & 2), among the many medleys, and Feeling Myself is a real surprise too.They also have an album of originals called Future Friends, which has a video for all the songs except 1. While the channel seems to have been set aside for now, as they stopped uploading a few years ago, there's still a bunch of stuff on there.

@debbierhodes4479 Год назад

Pentatonix does not always do their own arranging. The great ben Bram has arranged a lot of songs for them. He especially liked arranging song that showed of the classically trained Basso Profundo, Avi Kaplan. I have nothing against Matt, but I ceased listening to any PTX once Avi left.
