👋😃WELCOME TO THE AMAZING WORLD OF PENTATONIX (Penta-tonix or PTX) the name comes from pentatonic 5 melody music scale. This group is THE MOST SUCCESSFUL A Capella group EVER! They won season 3 of the Acapella televised singing competition The Sing Off in 2011. PTX has gone on to to 3 Grammys multi Platinum award winning group. The members are back row left to right: 👉Mitch Grassi sings counter tenor (Changes his look A LOT! So don't get confused it ALWAYS Mitch.) 👉Scott Hoying (blonde guy) sings baritone, bass, falsetto. Very soulful king of riffs and runs. 👉Kirstie (Kirstin) Maldonado sings mezzo soprano, alto (Changes her look A LOT! don't get confused it's ALWAYS Kirstie) 👉Avi Kaplan (Ah-vee) (beard slicked back hair) sings bass/basso profundo, baritone, overtone. Avi was a member from 2011 to the end of 2017. 👉Kevin Olusula is the beatboxer, tenor, cello 👉......Matt Sallee (not in this video) replaced Avi as bass, baritone in late 2017. 💥MORE PTX REACTIONS!!!
Welcome to the rabbit hole! There is simply no way to listen to just one PTX song. This is probably the most diverse group you will ever listen to. I think their motto is "leave the ego at the door." In 10 years they have had only one personnel change and that was without hard feelings from anyone, only sadness. I always encourage new reactors to please react to John Lennon's Imagine to see what the band believes. As a senior who is closer to 80 than to 70, I just want to let you know that fans of all ages and stages will follow.
Top left - Mitch Middle - Scott Top right - Kirstin Bottom left - Avi Bottom right - Kevin They all have such great talent and I’m happy you gave them a chance ❤️
So glad to see you check out Pentatonix. Home Free won season 4 off the NBC show The Sing Off, Pentatonix won season 3. Pentatonix fan base also has a self titled name called Pentaholic's. 1 down, 260+ more to go.
I agree, Johnnie. We give way too much power to the media. You have a good heart. React to Pentatonix's (aka PTX) cover of "Imagine". I think you'll really appreciate the message. Go to their channel and check out their over 200 songs. I just subbed. I look forward to any more PTX videos you react to. They have also done "The Evolution of Beyonce" as well as other evolutions of other artists. You are right....there are more positive people in the world than negative. We call ourselves "Pentaholics". PTX is all about positivity.
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Pentatonix. We, Pentaholics, have a good list for you: (With Avi as Bass) •Hallelujah •Daft Punk •Bohemian Rhapsody •Cheerleader •Imagine •Radioactive •Can’t Hold Us •Thrift Shop •Mary Did You Know With Matt as Bass: ~Sound of Silence ~Amazing Grace ~Havana ~Mad World ~The Prayer I’m sure there’s more. ENJOY
So glad u discovered Pentatonix, they’re incredibly talented. Can’t wait for you to discover more, pick ANYTHING they do and you won’t be disappointed, I promise!
You can see a live version of this song from their Popspring 2016 performance. The whole four song set is worth reacting to. The other three songs are originals.
Thank you for your positive comments........we need more people like you......so many Pentatonix songs to delve into.....The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Amazing Grace, 90's Dance Medley, Hallelujah, Sound of Silence.....to name a few..........all great......Daft Punk Medley (won 2 grammys for that one).....oh, and The Wizard of Ahhs
Hope you react to more PTX. If you do, expect to be swamped with subs soon after. In keeping with what you have expressed in this reaction, I suggest you try the studio version of Imagine (John Lennon cover). Pay attention to the signs in it and it will tell you who they are and what they believe in as well as how gifted they are.
Oh, boy. You have no idea the rabbit hole you stumbled on. Really enjoy your energy. Hope you’ll react to more PTX. A few personal fav’s: Sound of Silence (Simon & Garfunkel), Havana (Camila Cabello), Can’t Hold Us (Macklemore/Lewis) and New Rules x Are You That Somebody (a mash up). They have hundreds of songs and slay in nearly every music genre. Scroll thru their catalog and find songs you know. We call ourselves Pentaholics and I guarantee you’re about to join our ranks. 😂 Enjoy!
I loved your statement "we are not as divided as media wants us to think". I am 65 year old white country male and i think you are spot on and fantastic.
After watching your Homefree cover of Boy II Men, I can see you like some good R & B. So, I’d like to suggest a reaction to Pentatonix Feat. Jason Derulo covering “If I Ever Fall In Love” by SHAI I think you might like it. 😊
Welcome to the Pentaholics Family!!! :) We are happy to have you!!! Some of their best videos - Sound of Silence - Hallelujah - Can You Feel The Love Tonight - Bohemian Rhapsody - 90s Dance Medley - Daft Punk - Imagine - The Prayer
I’ve been watching your Home Free reactions and just came upon this Pentatonix reaction. Glad you found Pentatonix looking forward to seeing more reactions and you’ve gotten lots of great recommendations from other people here. Just one thing to be aware of SME, their record label is very serious about copyright protections, especially on the official videos, so you might want to make the video semi transparent to avoid getting burned by that.
There is one more spectacular A Capella group, Voice Play. After doing some more Pentatonix, please check them out too. Voice Play's bass singer Geoff Castelucci has some absolutely mind blowing solos. Pentatonix, Home Free, and Voice Play are very much worth reacting to.
I love your energy! I hate the division today. We definitely can overcome it. More Pentatonix reactions please! You can’t go wrong with any of their music. They have amazing cover songs and originals. Enjoy the rabbit hole! 🤩🤘🏻❤️
When I first listened to Pentatonix, I was like "Ohhhhhh ... this is what God intended when He created vocal chords"! I loved your reaction. Your joy in music and life just flows out from you. Thank you. I have subscribed so that I can see your continued journey down the rabbit hole known as Pentatonix.
You are amazing as is this group. I heard you mention Home Free and this band won the televised singing competition called the Sing Off the season before Home Free. In fact, season 4 they were mentors for Home Free. Both bands know each other well. The original bass for PTX who is in this one, Avi (pronounced Ah-Vee) Kaplan has been featured in a couple of the Home Free videos. Avi has a super solo career and both he and Tim Foust are in Nashville. Pentatonix has 3 Grammy wins. The first is Daft Punk(medley) which was filmed in Avi and Kevin Olusola's (beatboxer) apartment, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy ( no words,,,no problem said PTX) and a collaboration with Dolly Pardon of Jolene. They are each ultra-talented, a diverse group and pure magic. Their video of Hallelujah has over 660 million views. Out of this world. They also perform it live if you prefer that. Will blow you away. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-haFHrfmfHbc.html Thank you for your insightful words and reminders that we are all God's children and despite all the negative talk out there these days there are so many good people in this world. We need to be reminded, band together and sing it to the roof tops. Sadly, many have forgotten I think. I do hope you will go down the PTX rabbit hole. You won't regret it. :)
FUN REACTION!! So glad you decided to check this Evolution of MJ out!! Thank you! Home Free and Pentatonix are excellent gifted individuals!! Equally talented but different sounds. Again very fun reaction!!
You are definitely a gift from God I'm 71 years old and I think I enjoy your reaction show better than anybody else on the internet God bless you Johnny may he always hold you in his hands
Their cover of Hallelujah has over 600 MILLION views for a reason. Their Daft Punk medley won them their first Grammy. New sub here hoping for more Pentatonix.
I think their cover of "Imagine" would suit your channel. Also Superfruit's "Rise" cover. Superfruit is two of the five in Pentatonix. Lovely reaction. Thank you!
Welcome to Pentatonix. They are amazing. Thank you for the reaction and the positive words. They have hundreds of videos and songs and they are all great. Please react to Pentatonix "Sound Of Silence", "Hallelujah", "Daft Punk" medley, "Come Along", "Evolution Of Rihanna", Evolution Of Beyonce", "Amazing Grace", "Attention" and "The Prayer".
Hello, Johnny Calloway! RU-vid just recommended your channel to me because I’m a proud Pentaholic! I have subscribed because I love your positive message and hope to hear lots more great music and positivity from you. May I suggest a couple of PTX songs for you? Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, Sing, Rather Be, The Prayer, Take My Heart With You. Also cruise through their playlist and choose any song you’re familiar with and you will not be disappointed!
They are UNMATCHED yo ❗❗❗ Noone touches them frfr they voices & bodies are their instruments..I saw them live & it was LIFE CHANGING 😭 they sound exactly like this..Def do their other evolution vids & Sound of Silence & Hallelujah to start ..the shits crazyyyy 💯
Pentatonix is fire. One more group you'll need to check out is VoicePLay. With Pentatonix, Voiceplay, and Home Free you'll have just about everything covered. Pentatonix is masterful at pop/rock. Voiceplay is master of Disney covers. Home Free is the country soul of the three. All of these groups cover more than just their bread and butter. Such fun! They all tour as well.
Subscribed for more Pentatonix. Like your positive approach to reacting. Recommend their Daft Punk (medley), Hallelujah, and Royals for their earlier work. Recommend their Sound Of Silence, Amazing Grace, and Butter x Dynamite for their new work.
PTX is a group that spreads positivity, that is one of the reasons that they are my favorite groups. Please watch Daft Punk, Sing (original), Imagine, Evolution of Music, Love Again (original)
Welcome Johnnie to rabbit hole of Pentatonix! I've been a Pentaholic since the Sing Off! Hope you enjoy one of the BEST GROUP EVER!!😊 I also love your comments about togetherness and your other uplifting comments. World needs this in the worse way!
I love your energy and your spirit! Truer words have never been spoken. Thank you for reacting to my favorite group of all time… Pentatonix… also known as PTX. You will love love love this group. I would challenge you to find one of their songs that you don’t like. Just subscribed and looking forward to more reactions!
You would love Imagine cover for their message in the piece. But they do playful too with songs like Mr Grinch or 90s Dance Medley. You might like their original piece Sing. They worked really hard on the French song Papaotai and it's message as well.
New subscriber! Love PTX! Loved the positivity of your reaction! These five people stand for positivity and kindness! The bass singer, Avi (guy that sings really low with the beard) left the group in 2017 amicably and he was replaced with a wonderful man named Matt. Just wanted you to not be confused if you check out something by this group that is more recent. Would love to see more PTX reactions from you on your channel! Thank you!
I enjoy watching people become smitten by the Pentatonix bug. It's the next best thing to when I discovered them myself. You made some lovely commentary during this regarding how we are all one. It made me think you will likely really appreciate their cover of John Lennon's "Imagine". I've watched it dozens of times and still get choked up each time. It's unbelievably beautiful, so inspirational, and there couldn't be a better time to experience it than now.
Pentatonix won the TV Show “The Sing Off” Home free won the same show the next season. Avi Kaplan (The bass) sang with Home Free on their cover of “ Ring Of Fire” please react to it.!👍
Preach on friend!! Loved your reaction! You should check out their cover of Hallelujah, Amazing Grace and The Prayer! But everything they do is amazing!! ♥️
Appreciate your positivity in this troubling world. Especially your message for positive change at the end. I'm for it! As for the music... don't know if you noticed but this song was filmed all in one take like all their "evolution" videos (there are several). As I scanned the comments, there are lots of recommendations for more PTX, and you can't go wrong with any of them, but you might appreciate the message in Amazing Grace, Imagine, Mary Did You Know - all with their stellar vocals.
Lots of music to get caught up on. They started in 2011 when they won a show called The Sing-off. They have a video called The Beginner's Guide to Pentatonix, check it out.
Hello! Welcome! So happy you took the chance on Pentatonix.😀🥰 Hope you enjoyed your first taste of the Pentatonix “rabbit hole”. You react to more songs and your subscriptions will literally “blow up”. They have a fantastic fan base and they will be more than happy to suggest songs you might enjoy (and usually are their favorites🥰😅)! By the way, you have a beautiful smile!
Welcome to the Pentatonix rabbit hole. Great reaction, you have a 10 year catalog to go through with them. They won the show the Sing Off back in 2010 or 11. Avi the Bass left the group back in 2017 on good terms. Matt is their Bass now he is incredible also you will see him in newer video's. I could recommend so many but I think just pick one, you can't go wrong.
appreciate your positivity; its refreshing. their latest, the prayer, really shows off their vocal talents. imagine, mad world, and sing are great too.
Thanks for a wonderful reaction and welcome to the acapella world! So glad you enjoyed Pentatonix and I am a new subscriber hoping to see more reactions to Pentatonix and the other two big acapella groups, Voice Play and Home Free. In general, Pentatonix covers all genres (including rap) with their style being mostly pop music. Home Free has more of a country/folk style and Voice Play is more theatrical and dramatic covering action/adventure gaming, and Disney. For a start on your acapella journey, I would recommend checking out their playlists and picking songs you know and like. Enjoy!
I enjoyed your reaction. Lovely message to go along with it. As others have mentioned many wonderful choices I’d like to mention a couple too. Problem and Feeling Myself. Welcome to PTX family. Greetings from Tennessee 😊🇺🇸
Sooo happy you've discovered Pentatonix! I knew you would and I've been watching and waiting for this day! I love your message and will always be a loyal subscriber because of it. We are all one.
Pentatonix has a beautiful message in their version of "Imagine". Please check it out. By the way, there has only been one member change in the group, and that is when Avi (bearded bass) left to be replaced by Matt. Many people unfamiliar with PTX make the mistake that the group switches out multiple people. They released their version of "The Prayer" a few months back. Many hope it would get them their 4th Grammy as the arrangement and music is breathtaking.
Welcome to the Pentatonix (aka PTX) rabbit hole. I really enjoyed your reaction and a healthy dose of positivity si I subbed to your channel. We followers of PTX are known as Pentaholics and will guide you down the rabbit hole. Please react to Imagine and Sound of Silence. 💕
They have done several evolutions, including Beyonce, Rhiana, and Ariana Grande. These are done in one take with minimal manipulation. They may only adjust the mix to balance it, and that is a maybe. They do more than one take and publish the best one. They can sing in any style or genre. They are five of the most talented people on the planet and when they are together what they do is just jaw dropping and awe inspiring.
I wish everone could just be!!! Surely were beyond the nonsense of anyone being less than anything else. Im just tired of fools weighing us down. Great reaction mr Calloway Sr:)
I LOVE your comments! LOVE your positivity, and I ABSOLUTELY ADORE PENTATONIX! Just subscribed and can’t wait for your next PTX video! Great song to start your PTX journey with BUT you could Never pick a bad one. Thanks a bunch for sharing your beautiful thoughts, heaven knows this world needs more of that. Take care.
Please keep reacting to them 🙏 and be ready for your channel to blow up with all of us Pentaholics! Please react to these from them: Bohemian Rhapsody Daft Punk (They won a Grammy for this) Can't Hold Us Mad World Hallelujah The Prayer Imagine Sound of Silence A-Ha Live in Singapore Havana Just to name a few.....🤣 You did a great reaction, and I can't wait to see more!!
