You forgot to mention their perfect skin. Finding 5 humans who look that good in extreme close-up is almost as improbable as getting this much talent in one group without egos getting in the way.
So true. We are fortunate that they are who they are and they seem to be just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. Whether they were raised right or they were born with wonderful souls we may never really know but I am glad they are here to add their beautiful music to the world.
Thanks for this reaction Cliff - If you haven't checked it out yet, their cover of Gold by Kiiara is awesome, but do yourself a favor and listen to the original first, so you can really hear how PTX upgrades it!!
This was also going to be my suggestion. And as gorgeous as it is in its own right, it's definitely better appreciated by those who know what Mitch is just straight-up singing a cover of. Most reactors that post back to backs bail out on the original partway through. And I love the cartoon look even beyond how much better it is than messages about content blockers every 15 seconds. Glad you're doing well now, Cliff!
great reaction!! Kevin broke out "Beyonce" (Cello name) and showed the form he created Cello-Boxing. Just a lovely song. "Are you that somebody x New Rules" mash up is amazing to hear!
So many to do ! GOLD LOVE AGAIN SAY SOMETHING BOHEMIAN RAPSODY SING DAFT PUNK MEDLEY JOLENE DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY and all the Christmas music that you could possibly imagine!
I LOVE this version WAY better than the original for one simple reason. The original was recorded by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper, who in this case are just two movie actors trying to "make believe" the emotions necessary for this highly emotional song. In this version, it is sung by Scott & Kirstie...two life-long friends who have had a lifetime of memories together, even dated for a while in high school, and are as close as siblings. NOBODY ELSE could give this song the emotional delivery that these two can!! Just watch the looks they give each other as they sing. The black & white with gold is an homage to the Star Is Born movie posters and soundtrack album cover. As I've said before, I like the cartoon look, but be careful saying you're a cartoon and can't be hurt. Someone might break out the Goop. My congratulations to anyone who gets that reference!
Omg! You are great! I also never want a Pentatonix song to end. I always want more! Any song from them would be great, I love Can't Hold Us, and Are you that somebody x New Rules are amazing! I also second the opinion that if you are going to react to the cover of Gold by Kiara, watch the original first. Gives you an idea of how awesome they all are.
So true about trying to fill that void. If we only realized at a younger age the true yet simple bliss of being content in the moment! Can’t Hold Us next, also check out their Evolutions of MJ and Beyoncé, both are awesome!
God bless! My Mom always used to say, I may not have the best, but I make the best of what I have. I have to pause and remember that now and then. She came thru the great depression, so she knew what she was talking about.
Great reaction and appreciation of their talent. They are perfectionists and will not release a cover or original unless they feel it is flawless. The give 110%. Their work ethic is amazing. Pre-pandemic when they were on tour, they would write original songs, arrange covers, and rent recording spaces to record.....even when they were in Japan on tour.
Nice reaction. Thank you. I love this Pentatonix video. The setting is beautiful. Their vocals are beautiful. Kevin's celloboxing was beautiful. They are beautiful. *sigh* Please react to Pentatonix cover of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?"
Pentatonix is always growing, polishing their craft. This is so beautiful, I had to play it over again three or four times when I first listened to it. Kirstie, Scott, and Mitch's vocals are heart-rending, and the rhythm/bass was peerless. I agree with the folks who have suggested Say Something.
yes!!! Their vocals are not only IMPECCABLE but the beast of this one is Kevin....beatboxing and cello simultaneously...the dude is UNSTOPPABLE!! So many more for you to react to and we Pentaholics cant WAIT!!! I actually loved when u stopped the video to put your insight in. It shows your connection to not only to us but also your connection to Humanity!! WELL DONE REACTION AGAIN!!! Stay safe and healthy
This reaction was wonderful as usual The black, white and gold coloring is an homage to the album cover. Looks like Looks like in the comments say something is winning for the next video. They wanted it to look like a painting so Scott is gripping the chairs so hard bc he always sings with his hands.
Pentatonix and the song is amazing as usual. Side note on what you said----Quote by Jane (Nightbirde) 'You can't wait until life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy.' Her song 'It's Okay' is a soul toucher.
I'm early for once! Did you notice at 5:40 in this video - the do a small riff from Bad Romance. This is the kind of stuff I love about PTX - they can make a song sound incredible and even hide things in there that you don't pick up until someone points them out!
I've noticed the Bad Romance riff as well! 🤩 It's amazing how PTX arrange their cover versions ❤️ You never know what to expect, regardless of how good you know the original or how many PTX songs have you heard 😉
I really enjoy your reactions and have recently become a Pentaholic myself. Don't apologize for stopping to explain a lyric. So many people get drawn into the melody of songs and forget to pay attention to the lyrics. Also, you're so right about that particular lyric. As a society we're never happy, always looking for more. I for one, am just a 66 yr old lady loving the simple life. You seem to have a lot of good wisdom for a young man and maybe that has a lot to do with whatever you've been through. I don't know your story, but from what you said in this video, you've been through something difficult. I'm glad things are getting better for you and wish you a long and healthy life. Keep the reactions coming, I'm here for it! 😉
Thanks for another great reaction 😊 I just want to give extra kudos to Kevin in this performance. Imagine doing beatboxing while playing the cello… that is really high level multi tasking. I wish you a great recovery for your challenges 🤗
"Don't end".. me with every Pentatonix song! Thank you for your awesome reaction and your thoughts, I really love that "comic" style. And I second the recommendation for "Gold"!
Love this! Great reactions! There are so many good ones.... Bohemian Rhapsody, Sound of Silence, To see their fun side Can't Hold Us or Happy Now...or they have great originals like Love Again or Coffee in Bed...So many choices!
"Too much is never enough." I get that. Wow. I had no idea that was why you started the channel. I have not watched ALL the videos. Guess I need to now. I think you are doing great! Let's all hope you are able to keep going for years and decades to come!
I would suggest Say Something next. Also definitely listen to the originals before reacting to PTX upgrades...like Gold (Kiiara), Problem (Ariana Grande), No (Meghan Trainor), Can't Hold Us (Macklemore & Lewis), Aha (Imogene Heap) to name a few. They also have some awesome originals... Cracked, A Light In The Hallway, Water, Sing, and Run To You as a starting point. Then there are the Christmas upgrades... Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Little Drummer Boy, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, The First Noel, The Twelve Days Of Christmas and Your A Mean One Mr. Grinch are some of my favorites. The Grammy wins are outstanding and the classics like Hallelujah, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, and Amazing Grace are on another level entirely. Really, you can't choose a bad option in their entire catalog.
Ohh yesss!! I never catch your videos when you upload anymore lol. Love this reaction, loving seeing you react to pentatonix, they are seriously talented x
Floor Jansen - Shallow - Beste Zangers (Floor by herself) - a Dutch program featuring various singers - and Floor's duet of Phantom of the Opera with Henk Poort (the Dutch Phantom)
Hugs from Poland! Nice to have you here 🙂 And the cartoon effect is awesome 😁 You should definitely check their take on Can you feel the love tonight from The Lion King 🤩
You didn’t mention Kevin playing the cello. He is classically train . Sometimes they do use instruments but when they do you will always see them. Kevin is extremely talented. He has his own videos. Watch “Down”, pretty amazing.
... and to add, I love the cartoon! It's kind of groovy and as we are here for your music reaction, whatever helps get your vid uploaded is fine! Also, I related whole heartedly to your comment about the lyrics - we do need to take stock and realise that we have much to be happy/contented/thankful for. Yes we should strive to be better people, but to want more and more things that really don't matter is futile.
People will always search for the thing that will fill that empty void in the center of our beings. Some use family, some work, some travel, some sexual relationships, some drugs and alcohol. It’s like putting a square peg in a round hole. The problem is spiritual. And I always respond, If you want to be spiritual, you have to have spirit. Great reaction, good heart.
I'm aways amazed by Kevin's chello-boxing he's needs more credit then he gets I think yes the singing is always perfect but let's hear it for Kevin y'all 🤯✌️❣️
Why did it have to end!? That’s what I always think also. Great reaction and I like you as a cartoon 💕 Have you done Mitch’s new song Machine ( he does it under the name Messer?)
Great reaction. But more then anything I just wanted to say you're a really good egg! The way you open yourself up to people for serious talk is so commendable & shows how genuine you are! 👏
Can’t be said often enough, Kevin playing the cello whilst doing vocal percussion is absolutely insanely good. PTX is perfection. Nice reaction as usual. Appreciate Cliff.
Because there is something more, its nothing of this world. Ir can't be measured or tested. Yet, it holds all things in being. Until we return to that from which we came, there will always be an illusion of other things trying to fill that gap.
Love your reactions and the cartoon. And Kevin on the cello is sublime. They filmed this in black and white with the gold as a nod to the Lady GaGa album cover and did you catch Kevin slipping in a bit of Bad Romance in a nod to Lady Gaga Their cover of Gold is wonderful. I think you would really appreciate it. It’s brilliant
If you want to see a live performance try Ah Ah Star Vista Singapore. And if you do just know that Kevin is putting away his cello, and then joins the group, which is why we don't see him in the video. Regardless any performance of them is amazing, enjoy!
This is one of my favorite covers by them. I like it better than the original (I say that about most PTX covers). Great reaction. I like it when reactors put more into the reactions. Thanks! PS Kirstin kills this!!! Wow!
