Evolution of Music - Pentatonix (REACTION) First Time Hearing It 

Since you're from Belgium, you must see Papaoutai. If you know Stromae you're probably already familiar with the song. PTX does it proud and maybe because it's in French it doesn't get as many reviews as some of the others. However, it's one of my favorites of theirs. Also, it features Lyndsay Stirling on the violin and Kevin on the cello. Looking forward to that.

We Pentaho!is a have usually seen the videos many times so having them blurred egg is of no consequence.

We don't care about the bluring. Trust me, we have seen their video's numerous times. And this was one take! This group is exceptional. Thanks for this. Greetings from South Africa

♦️♦️♦️♦️ .. check out " The Wizard Of Aaaaahhs " .... very cool mash up ! ♦️♦️♦️♦️

This was very early ptx. The evolution videos are done in one take, which is impressive . Ptx has done several evolution videos: Michael Jackson, Beyonce, etc. They have also done Bohemian Rhapsody which is really great. Cheers!

And - like all the Evolution series - all in ONE TAKE!

Babytonix ! One of their very first video's, (and my first introduction to them ) when they were all in their early 20's . Amazing then , exceptional now . I think you're going to love your Pentatonix journey ! You can find some of their early live performances on here.. I'm fond of this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLytMG0u-ns.html ...and following on from their Daft Punk medley , Kevin & Avi wrote an original EDM song 'Love Again' ...here they're singing it during an interview in a dressing room before a show ! .. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GyRiez6UKAI.html

England here 92 baby that adores the 90s music

What a fun reaction! Thank you. You definitely have to react to Bohemian Rhapsody!

Truly enjoy your reactions ❤❤❤

Recommend their version of Prayers For This World.

They have done other "Evolution of" videos about singers. Also, they've done a "90s Dance Medley" where they actually wear outfits from the 90s as they sing. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs. Thank you for reacting to them. I'm glad you appreciate their talent. I hope you can get to know their names. If you have trouble remembering names, make a cheat sheet with their pictures and names which you can refer to until you remember their names. We Pentaholics appreciate you knowing their names.

Hello Saeed, This was a music history lesson form Pentatonix. Superbly done. Glad you spotted when the colour came in. PTX has covers of "Gangnam Style" and "Somebody That I Used to Know". Adding those to your list for your reactions. Thanks for the reaction!!

True Pentaholics have seen the videos. They come to see and hear you

Thanks so much - Awesome

🎼🎼🤠 .. I had a feeling that you would like this Saeed .... lol .. Keep them coming ! 🤠🎼🎼

Whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, years after this video, Avi Kaplan (in 2017 while still in PTX, as Avriel & The Sequoias) recorded a cover of OutKast's "Hey Ya" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whBQCkhFwYg.html and in 2019 (with gospel trio ReSound) a cover of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tRTHL16rj80.html Those 2 songs are in the "Evolution" video, one after the other. Interesting if it wa unintentionaL

Check out PTX's version of 'Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)'. Many have tried, some have succeeded, but PTX shines above all. Also, their version of 'Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone' is the most beautiful thing you may hear of that song...EVER.

Have you done Bohemian Rhapsody? PTX does a phenomenal cover of it. They also have cover of Gotye Somebody That I Used To Know….very good!

Great!

Hi Saeed, I have just watched all your current Pentatonix videos, so great to see some one new come to enjoy Pentatonix for the first time. I always suggest going back to the very start of their journey with their run on 'The Sing-Off' season 3 in 2011 you can see that they had a very special connection from the very start and the quick development of their style throughout the show, I would also suggest seeing each clip with the judges comments, I'm not sure how the copyright goes for these videos so you may end up having to cover them or something. I think for the majority of Pentaholics the fact that you have to blur/cover the vids is something that we have (unfortunately) gotten used to but still enjoy seeing your reaction to our favourites, really enjoyable keep going, other groups you may want to check out would be Voctave, Straight No Chaser and I think you said that you've seen Home Free and Voice Play, so continue enjoying this journey down the Ac a Pella rabbit hole their are many avenues to travel

Pentatonix loves RU-vid reactions and reactors; they're well aware that reaction videos have helped to make them the success that they are today. Unfortunately, their copyrights are owned by their publisher, RCA, and RCA doesn't share their love of reaction videos. RCA is notorious for making copyright claims that get reaction videos taken down. The claims all seem to be about the video, not the music, and there are several strategies people use to keep their reactions up. Some people only react to live performances. This works, but it's limiting. In general, Pentatonix is as good live as they are in their official releases, but that's musically; there are a few of their official videos that have important video effects that can't be duplicated live. The most obvious one is "Imagine," but several others spring to mind. Also, if you only react to live performances you can't react to any "Behind the Scenes" or "Making of" videos. Another strategy is to pause the video frequently. This is probably a good idea (be sure to rewind a bit whenever you do this), but the definition of "frequent" is subjective so I don't recommend it as your only protection. What seems to work best is to slightly mask the video, combined with frequent pauses. Some people put a translucent "PENTATONIX" or "COPYRIGHT" over the video; others put what appears to be a window with raindrops on it over the video. Remember, the pentaholics are here to see your reaction, not the video - we've seen the video numerous times already. We only need to be able to see enough of it to be sure what exactly you're reacting to, in real time. Also, I'm pretty sure that someone has mentioned "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)" as a good one to watch, assuming that you've seen _"The Wizard of Oz"_ (the 1939 film starring Judy Garland). (Note: If you haven't seen the movie, "Wizard of Ahhhs" won't make sense, so be sure to take care of that first!) Well, one advantage of "Wizard of Ahhhs" is that its copyright is owned by Todrick Hall, NOT RCA, and Todrick seems to be more interested in publicity than in stomping on innocent reactors. I have never heard a reactor complain about copyright issues around "Wizard of Ahhhs." There's even one channel that's reposted the video with the title: "Pentatonix - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Todrick Hall)" and that's been up for years with no problems, despite it being a clear copyright violation.

Thanks again for your reaction video - so good! You may also enjoy their other "evolution" videos: Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Ariana Grande, Rihanna. As to Queen, absolutely! Please watch their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody!

The acapella group Voiceplay does Queen in 5 minutes, they also do a very funny Boy Band mash up.

"Queen in 5 Minutes" is actually a video by VoicePlay, not Pentatonix - and it's definitely worth watching!

I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s. If I could go back in time, able to just observe without the dangers of interacting, I would like to go back to America just before and during the early part of WWII, to watch how the events in Europe were being viewed in the U.S.. It was a pivotal time; there was a very real danger that America would support Hitler, and I'd like to watch the people who managed to prevent that disaster, see how they did it.

Oh, please take a listen to GOD ONLY KNOWS (beach boys cover ) and FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU (Elvis Presley cover). Both are beautiful upgrades and something I never thought I’d say

Someone mentioned Papaoutai, but they also did a full song treatment of Somebody that I Used to Know which is more sophisticated than the snippet provided here But yes, please react to Papaoutai.

Oh so blurred I can't see it...(I do have some vision probs).. I love all the Evolutions from PTX especially with Avi in them lol.

If you enjoy these medlies you should check out their Evolution of Michael Jackson. Its a lot of fun and nostalgic too.

You just got "Mitch slapped"...

Your reaction to PTX is such an enjoyable way to relax after a long day. I wanted to ask if you see it blurred too... just curious. :)

Placing a logo or the words "For copyright" over the video, or even just making the video slightly transparent, can you usually help with getting around the copyright issue?
