Definitely time for “Aha” live in Singapore at the Starvista! Don’t ask where Kevin is. He’s there! Avi blew a speaker with his bass, and you will get Mitch slapped big time because jet lag + 2 Red Bulls = super alien Mitch!
I'm interrupting my watch (at the 3 minute mark) to ask if you've ever seen the movie "The Wizard of Oz" from 1939 - as the look on your face at this point is one of utter bewilderment (along with amazement). At least one reactor I watch had absolutely no clue what was going on and was so confused that he didn't enjoy it at all, even though he appreciated the vocal skills and recognized most of the songs). But if you don't know that movie (and it is very much an American staple around November of each year for some reason) then you can't really see how brilliant this is. Todrick Hall is one of my favorite artists. His "Straight Outta Oz" video album contains some really brilliant and beautiful stuff, and I highly recommend it. Every song references the story in some fashion, though sometimes it's only in the title of the track, but I think you'd really like "Dumb," which is a rap by the Scarecrow, and is a serious smackdown of the music industry. My personal favorite is Pappi, which is actually funny, but also has some amazing power vocals.
SuperFruit, with Kirstie also collaborated with Todrick Hall on Black and White. I love the bow to the Wizard of Oz at the end, showing scenes from the movie.
This video and arrangement was a Todrick Hall creation. He is an amazing story teller through music! You need to check out his “Without U” and “Beauty and the Beat”
Great reaction!! Thanks😄just to clarify for anyone confused...this is a Todrick Hall production,PTX only features in this video.Todrick is the mastermind behind all of this!!! He's a HUGE Wizard of Oz fan!!!😃 Todrick & Scott, Mitch,& Kirstin are from the same area in Texas & are friends.😄✌out.
Todrick did a great job arranging directing and producing this. This is his creation, PTX did great in their roles, but don't get slanted, those roles were assigned by Todrick.
You need to react to Mitch's single, YOUR POWER. YOU'LL LOVE IT... It's exploded with the rest of reactors on youtube.. Love your channel. On to 1m subscribers.....
Great reaction! I'm still asking for Aha Live in Singapore - it will BLOW YOUR MIND! Please also do some Superfruit next - please please you will get some proper Mitch action! Try Hiphop goes Broadway 1 and 2 or Evolution of Lady Gaga, Beyonce or Rihanna albums. All incredible!
i love to hear the reactors say that and the fans it just reminds me of him saying how much he was bullied bcz of his voice in high school and now he is loved literally around the world for that very same thing! i wish young kids knew this could happen and would wait it out. i was bullied and it didn't make me famous or even well off lol but i did learn a lot about why people bullied my biggest bully found me a few years later and apologized. i knew it was her family that was bullying her though bcz teachers locked the two of us in a room together 1 hour a day as punishment lol for me i guess but she never hit me unless there was a teacher present. sorry idk y i went there but im gonna leave it!
@@tundiel i'm sorry for yours as well. my entire school administration helped this girl bully me bcz her parents threatened to burn the school down and hurt their families so i got punished when she hit me. they wouldn't let my mom come to school with me or call the police though she should have anyway. oh well it was years ago and bcz she apologized and i understand why she did it that one doesn't bother me as much as things that happened in high school lol i hope yours was short and ended in school! btw like your user name!
Todrick is an independent artist (self funded, no management). He doesnt block videos....and sometimes he will thank the reviewer. His content is kind of amazing.
Todrick started on season 9 of American Idol. He has since starred in 4 Broadway shows, choreographed for Beyonce and worked extensively on RuPaul's Drag Race. This masterpiece was his brainchild.
I’m so glad you finally watched this! Todrick is an actual musical wizard & Pentatonix brought his vision to life! I vote for Popspring concert next & then get ready for Christmas music!!😊 Love your reactions!
I was so enamored with this performance when it came out that i transcribed the lyrics and searched out song sources. This is more than a medley, this is a retelling of the story with music that was mostly current at the time of the recording. Songs: Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Wizard of Oz [Dorothy] Blown Away - Carrie Underwood [Pentatonix] Wide Awake - Katy Perry [Dorothy] Lollipop - Chordettes [Munchkins] Shoes - Liam Kyle [Glinda the Good] Short D*ck Man - Salt N Pepa [Glinda the Good] Cups - Anna Kendrick (originally by Lulu and The Lampshades) [Dorothy] Thinking About You - Frank Ocean [Scarecrow] Damaged - Danity Kane [Tin Man / Pentatonix] Can't Be Tamed - Miley Cyrus [Cowardly Lion] I Knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift [Dorothy] Power - Kanye West (the line '21st century Schizoid Man' was originally from the song 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson) [Wizard Todrick Hall / Pentatonix] Teeth - Lady Gaga [Wicked Witch / Pentatonix] Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue [Dorothy / cast] Home - Daughtry [Wizard / cast] Home - Phillip Phillips [Scarecrow / Tin Man cast] Home - Michael Buble [Cowardly Lion / cast] Cast: Kirstie Maldonado: Dorothy / Glinda the Good / Wicked Witch Kevin Olosula: Farm Hand / Toto Scott Hoying: Farm Hand / Munchkin / Scarecrow Mitch Grassi: Farm Hand / Munchkin / Tin Man Avi Kaplan: Farm Hand / Cowardly Lion / Munchkin Todrick Hall: Wizard
actually "Short Dick Man" is a song by American hip house group 20 Fingers featuring rapper Gillette. It was released in August 1994. I know that when you google it all results are from lyrics sites and come up attributed to Salt-n-Pepa but when you go through Salt-n-Pepa discography and track listings of their albums and singles this song isn't in them
That one just fascinates me. It really shows their talent, coming up with this concept. Today I ran across another PTX video that had me in awe. Kirstie wrote it, and the production, the editing…, like wow! It is called “Be My Eyes”. I don’t know why this one is not touted more. It is very professional.
For the umpteenth time, PTX did not come up with this concept. This was Todrick Hall's concept, arrangement, and production. He just asked his friends PTX to collaborate with him on it, and everyone, including Todrick, did an amazing job.
@@theloneranger8725 sorry, just about everywhere I read about this song, most list Kirstie as the author. Other sites have listed the whole group. I took this from Musicmix: Songwriters: Matthew Bair / Kevin Olusola / Scott Hoying / Mitchell Grassi / Dan Book / Kirstin Maldonado / Matt Sallee Be My If Todd had something to do with the song then Kudos to him also. It’s a haunting song, and this video is blue ribbon quality.
@@jimeans2281 Somehow I think my comment got posted in the wrong place. I was referring to "Wizard of Ahhhs." Almost everyone that comments on it believes that it was a Pentatonix creation, when it was really the brainchild of Todrick Hall. Kirstie was definitely the driving force behind "Be My Eyes," which I love.
@@theloneranger8725 Thanks for the clarification. I was a bit confused there for a bit. I’ve not watched the full “Wizard of Ahhs” yet and need to. The small bit I saw was so neat!
Superfruit AND Kirstie do a colab with Todrick Hall called Black and White and it's amazing too. Lots of dancing and a fabulous message! So glad you had a chance to react to this one. It's brilliant.
Besides the incredible performances, the concept is just too damn clever! Not random songs at all!!! It’s the story of the Wizard of Oz with modern songs that reflect the each character: Scott / Scarecrow = Thinking Mitch / Tin Man = Heart Avi / Cowardly Lion = Tamed / Trouble Todrick / Wizard = Emerald City Lollipop, Shoes, etc And then Dorthy trying to get home = the “home” themed compilation Kirstie killed this lead Kevin is beyond adorable as Toto Todrick is brilliant for this incredible idea
YES! This is one of my favorite PTX collabs. The song choices for their respective parts in the video; it's just so well planned. PTX and Todrick are geniuses in how they arranged the medley and production; it's so theatrical and a brilliant homage to a classic. Kirstie especially shown bright here!
This is one of my favorites. I love the tribute to the original movie at the end. Todrick Hall is a genius! You may be ready for Aha live in Singapore. Have you done "Sing" or "Love Again"? How about "Can't hold us"? So many!
This is such a stellar homage to the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz, with Judy Garland. From the opening credits with portraits of each of the group's members, to 'Dorothy' clicking her shoes together at the end to get back home, references to the original movie are sprinkled throughout the production. A genius arrangement, and Todrick is the mastermind. PTX just made the vision happen. Great reaction.
Ok... my admiration for you just went up a notch. You are the first reactor that I have watched that has mentioned Motley Crew's "Home Sweet Home." Thank you.
The look on your face was priceless!! You never disappoint! If you truly want to be blown away by Mitch watch Aha - Star Vista performance...I think you are ready!!
Thank you for reacting to this one today! After a disaster of a vacation and 2/3 of us coming home with COVID (I am surprised not all 3 after what they did to us) I seriously needed this laugh today and your reactions never fail to make me smile!
I'd love to hear perfume medley by them! They did really well with the Japanese tonality and Mitch has some great vocals in it too! One of my fav medleys!
They are so diverse! This theatrical version is so amazing. Todrick Hall was a friend of Scott, Kirsty and Mitch in High School and did this production asking PTX to help him out on this project. And they did it perfectly. Hall has his own channel too. Thanks for reacting! Enjoyed it!.
Yesss this one was so fun!! Also, just wanted to say I miss your NF reactions! Just finished watching through your playlist and there's still multiple that's not on the journey that's so good! Some of them are Lost in the Moment, Turn the Music Up (one of my favs!), Only One, Can You Hold Me ft. Britt Nicole, and Face It.
Yes! In total agreement. Official PTX video first, then Aha in Singapore second. Can't wait to see your reaction, G.O.T. Games. (Wish I knew what your real name is. You're adorable!) Love all your reactions. Have watched several of them more than once.
Glad you got around to this and that you clearly enjoyed it. I think this is one of the PTX videos that must be seen to get a true picture of the range of talent they have.
I soooo needed this reaction today. You're always so full of joy and make me laugh. I've watched this video so many times and just loved watching you react to it. It took my mind off the pain for a few minutes. Thx for the fun 😎
I was trying to figure out your facial expressions in the beginning once the "shatter every window" hit. Couldn't tell if it was amazement, shock, confusion, or a combination! Loved the thought that went into each song selection. Nothing was random, that's for sure. Great reaction as always!
Was waiting for this reaction! 😁 They are all fabulous. 😍 You should check out Todrick Hall when you can too. He's also amazing! He even did a spoof video of Pentatonix that was absolutely hilarious. They're friends though so it was done in good fun. Mitch and Scott even reacted to it on their Superfruit channel, lol. 😂
I love Pentatonix too, but please recognize the huge talent that is Todrick Hall. PLEASE CHECK OUT: 4 the 90s, 4 the 2000s, or Mickey Minja. If you want more collaboration with Pentatonix try 'Black and White' by Todrick Hall. It is also AMAZING! You were great as always. Wishing you Peace and Love✌️💓
I love this…have seen quiet a few “reactors” and hardly do I ever hear respect for the “beatbox” guy…why? Don’t get me wrong, they are all crazy talented…amazingly talented❤️
Well hello you beautiful amazing person!! I really enjoy your reactions especially to PTX and superfruit. You should check out some more todrick Hall also he has another one with Mitch Scott and Christy they went to the same school when in high school. Todrick has a whole show called straight out of Oz some of that is as a schoolboy and some of it is as a drag queen the hour and a half long concert video has special guests like Bob the drag queen and RuPaul there's several songs in that that you should react to
Your reactions are so wholesome and sweet. You should definitely listen to more of their Christmas stuff as the holidays get closer! I would recommend “Making Christmas” first for Halloween and then silent night, Coventry carol, white winter hymnal, coldest winter, and little drummer boy. But that’s just a start. You should do a whole Christmas series and listen to all of their holiday songs. They’re incredible. Also check out the band straight no chaser. Their rendition of the 12 days of Christmas is so good
✨Awesome reaction! You should react to more of Todrick Hall, especially his "4" videos, 4 the 90's, 4 the 2000's, 4 Gaga, are definitely some of his best older content in my opinion! 🤍✨
ok so since this is your last PTX reaction so far I thought I would furnish you with some PTX Originals you actually asked for way back when you reacted to Hallelujah LOL I recommend from 2016: "Love Again", "Run To You", "Can't Sleep Love". From later years with Matt as bass, "coffee In Bed", "Petals" (it's a visualizer and not an actual video), "Never Gonna Cry again" (also a visualizer and not an actual video). I didn't see any of these in your PTX playlists so I'm assuming you haven't heard them and their artistry of doing original music. They are super gifted and you will find a banger or three in that list :)
If you want more of "Wide Awake", they have a very old (June 2012 - it's among one of their oldest) couch vid, it's a mash up with "As Long As You Love Me" So it's listed as "As Long As You Love Me/Wide Awake" They sound incredible and the nickname KO is especially apt in this one I think! Watch the whole thing, because even their outro is precious lol.
Another one where Todrick Hall is joined by at least some of the Pentatonix is his song "Black and White", where he's joined by Superfruit (Mitch and Scott) and Kirstie. It's a REALLY good song, and has a rather powerful message while also being catchy as hell.
