Pentatonix | Aha!, Singapore, The Star Vista | REACTION 

The phone can’t pick up Avis low and I think he did blow out the speaker that night. Thx for doing this one!

The sound quality is not the best because it was filmed on a phone or non-professional camera by a fan in the audience. This one is a favourite of pentaholics because of what they do on it. And how amazing Mitch was that night. 🙂

I believe Kevin was putting his cello away at the beginning of the song, so Avi was doing an opera song that was not part of the Aha song until I believe kevin got back

Yes, the audio is a casualty, but it's worth it to see the sassy attitude of Mitch and his high notes are just more intense in this one. Thanks for doing this 2nd reaction of Aha!

Part of what you're hearing as distortion with Avi is his use of overtones - 2 notes at the same time! Not many can do that! And hard to pick up cleanly on a phone recording! But totally amazing! 💕

Thanks for indulging the hardcore fans.... They are demanding... Looking forward to your other PTX reactions!!!

Avi is a classically trained "basso profundo", the lowest of the bass ranges. Unlike many super low basses, Avi has a beautiful singing voice, and has a wider range. Matt (who replaced Avi) is a standard bass. Scott is a baritone, but he also has a phenomenal range, and can replace the bass (except for the lowest of Avi's notes), which he does when the bass is singing lead.

A lot of people compare Matt and Avi. I think they are both great honestly. If you want to hear some Really low notes from Matt my fav videos are: -Are you that somebody/new rules mix -Attention -Rihanna Medley

Mitch’s first solo album is all done. Complete and ready to go. Just waiting to be able to be released.

Y’all are too funny! Appreciated the reboot ❤️ ...and the thing I remind myself about Mitch’s ever-changing looks is that he was a very sheltered kid who literally went from high school and living with parents to a huge new, open world and independence...basically, he’s still figuring things out. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Thank you for doing this one! I really appreciate that you went back and did it. This performance with Mitch was fire. The sound is distorted because it was recorded on a phone, but the performance live was crazy! Loving your reactions! Keep it up!!!!!

Great reaction! As other might have mentioned, in the prior song, Kevin was sitting and playing cello in the middle of the stage. He went off to put the cello away while they sang the opening part. Mitch moved to center stage, Scott followed, and Kevin came onstage next to Scott, and was there for all of Aha! No one on earth could do all the crazy beats and wooshes and rattles he put out here!

ok the reason why this one is better is because it is live and a lot of people think pentatonix cheat in the studio, but this is proof that they can do it just as good, if not even better live. you guys are saying it sounds super similar but that's the whole point, also mitch's charismatic facial expressions are amazing.

Thanks for this second reaction! Can’t wait for Imagine! You all are going to love it😍 Keep them coming and stay safe!

Thanks for the second Aha reaction! 😃 Hope you're all having a great Christmas! 🥰

Goosebumps! the introduction was strange and mysterious sound, where a place to hide in the darkest time...😂😄 strong emotion, rhythm, texture,dynamics, pitch, form and timbre are all great..😂 whoa! Actually most good melodies have a discernible relationship with the bass line, melodies imply harmonies, harmonies imply melodies. I think their collaborative skills are very impressive. The lalalalalala part whoa! He did the highest vocal range! 😂 This is a live performance that is why buzzing sound from speakers, it quite grounded. The song was weird yet awesome! 😄😂 Aniweyz! keep on smiling, handsome, kind and happy new year! yeah!😁 the br3ak room rockz! love lotzzz😄😂😊-gracelovegusrulez 😅😅😅

Brian, you will appreciate their interpretation of Imagine. They brought a 50-year-old song into the present, and made it relevant without changing any of the original beauty.

LOL! The Prince thing... I love you guys! (Great reaction, as always! You always make me laugh.)

Check out Mirch Grassi’s cover “Find You”, he sings solo with a piano accompaniment

It really was about Mitch's performance in this one! Thank you so much for going back. Love you guys!

Thanks for reacting to this PTX performance. I'm in the minority because my favorite video version of the song is the official video. I wouldn't dare ask you all to do a third reaction to the same song. lol. I enjoy your reactions and appreciate your efforts. Happy New Year to all of you.

Pentatonix original "Love again" Avi and Keven kill it

Thank you for watching this one!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Y’all should react to Mary Did You Know. It’s older for Pentatonix but you’ll get to hear Kevin sing, which is always a pleasure.

This version is a "must see" for any Pentaholic fan. Yes, the audio is not very good quality but it is much more about Mitch's performance in particular for that show. You can totally see how he was really feeling that performance! Sometimes certain shows/audiences just bring out the best in a performer. In this performance, Mitch really, really shines.

The voice is the voice no matter what is backing it. But you can hear the voice better when there isn't a band potentially drowning them out. Mitch could do exactly this with a full orchestra or a giant metal band behind him. As long as the sound engineers have the microphone balanced properly you'd be able to hear him just as well as you do when he solos completely alone, or with Pentatonix.

Thank you for responding to specific requests, will watch and like any Pentatonix reactions you do

Here's the story as I've heard it: the previous song was a Kevin cello solo and the others were backstage taking a break. Mitch was suffering from jet lag and drank two Red Bulls while on the break. As Kevin went backstage to put the cello away, the other four came back onstage and started singing a choral intro that didn't involve Kevin. Kevin returned to the stage (not seen on camera) just as Avi hit that low note that damaged one of the Star Vista speakers. Then Mitch's Red Bulls kicked in, and he proceeded to go completely insane on stage while Avi continued to joyously shred the sound system in the background! And we are left with this, the live performance that most Pentaholics consider the best of the group's career. And it's made even more legendary because it was apparently only captured in this fan video!!

Did you know that they sing in Japanese too with one of the most famous vocal groups in Japan? No? Then check them out "Little Glee Monster feat. Pentatonix - Dear My Friend"👌

Thank you so much for reacting to this one the audio isn't the best but it is recorded on a phone but definitely shows you what Mitch and Avi can be like on stage thank you again 🤠

If you want to laugh, there is a video compilation out there of PTX when they mess up. You'll enjoy it I think.

Yeah, part of the audio issues were the recording device, and part were that Avi did indeed blow out part of the sound system with his first deep slide. But the showmanship in this performance more than makes up for it. Thanks for giving us this one too!

Mitch Grassi cover of Graveyard is another one to watch, accompanied by piano. ❤

There is no wrong one, they’re always brilliant

Thats why you should always back up 10 seconds after pausing so you don’t miss anything! Great reaction guys! Thanks for doing this one! 😀

You guys are really original and funny! It's my third video i've been watching and I love it! Love your format and you're doing great interventions! You have great chemistry together. next suggestion will be '' New Rule/ Are you that somebody'' This group has the best mash-up songs ever. They have this ability to mix songs together and create a whole new song. Very impressive. About Avi, yes him and Matt are different, but the group dynamic is better with Matt, not that Avi wasn't dynamic but it's noticeable in their live performances, they have more fun with Matt around. But Avi is greatly missed too, he brought A LOT to the group. Just my opinion ;) New subscriber for sure!

Thank you for showing Prince fucking the stage floor. I needed that!

Thanks guys it was cool , hope u had a great Xmas stay safe and well love from the UK xxx

Both versions demonstrate PTX's extreme talent...I am glad you guys got to this one though :) Good to see you fellas. Stay safe, best to you and yours, see you on the flip side

Gary Valenciano ( Take Me Out From The Dark)

If you want a really good live video you should check out their 2016 Popspring performance. It was recorded by/for MTV so the video and audio quality is top-notch. An added bonus it has 3 originals ('Cracked', 'Can't Sleep Love', and 'Water') and a live version of their medley, 'Evolution of Michael Jackson'. Link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GMHqYxpnzk.html

Hey guys thank you for your perseverance and crowd pleasing accommodations! Much appreciated! Looking forward to more. Happy Holidays! (How are those babies doing?)

U can never go wrong w/ ptx ❤

Check out Mitch singing "Graveyard", "Find You", "Defying Gravity".

I'm really glad you reacted to both. This performance is great and a MUST see, but I prefer the official video. If you are more into the performance aspect of the song this is probably your favorite of the 2, if you are more interested in hearing the lyrics of the song then the official video is probably your favorite.

the sound is also distorted on the bass because Avi had blown the speaker.

I agree the sound quality is not as good. This video definitely shows Mitch's vocal control and range much better. It also shows Avi off. A lot of their issue is that most sound engineers aren't knowledgeable about acappella so they don't use the right equipment and settings. They underestimate Avi and then he blows the speakers as a result. They had to start working with a crew that knew what they needed. A funny example of this in one of their early performances is seen here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eeHRokYRVms.html

To hear more of Mitch and Scott, check out Superfruit

Mitch does have a solo EP coming out soon. There is a small clip of his original of "Angels Pray" on RU-vid check it out...

Thank you guys! hope you all had a good Christmas. Yeah the recording isn't the best but that doesn't matter when you have Mitch and Avi going for gold haha.

You really should check out THE FIRST TAKE channel. The channel concept is that every invited singer is given one chance to do a live recording. Success or not depends on them. Unedited raw voice and only the first take counts. I suggest: ・Lisa - Homura ・The Gospellers - Hitori (ゴスペラーズ - ひとり) ・Wacci - Tarinai (足りない) ・Little Glee Monster - ECHO or try one of the 3 most watched videos (make sure to turn on the subtitles)🔥

So glad you guys are going to do all the PTX videos! But if you start to run out of videos from Pentatonix just say so in a reaction video and I will personally give you a list of what you haven’t done yet, PTX reactions are my favorite hobby 😅

The intro is to give Kevin time to put his cello away from the previous song. It seems AVI blew a speaker because his lows are distorted for the rest of the song. I like both the official and this one. The official one lets you hear all the intricate vocals we can’t really hear well here on this one. It is from a cell phone and in the audience... the official doesn’t have the intro though.

Seems like you got a few comments on this 🙂 oh well it happens. Funny intro. Nice you all had a sense of humor about it. I won't be around much more. Hanging with Avi's stuff instead of PTX takes me back to college days with folk music and well Avi's voice of course all about that bass. Actually Avi only broke the sound system once and that was with a school's equipment. His voice was used as a sound effect on one song Natural Disaster (which they are having Matt do now that he has practiced enough to get down that low at a couple of years) but that was planned out and it did not actually break anything. They had to get "bass capable" equipment which a cappella bands have to have all the time because of their bass singers. These are the videos and they are fairly funny. Lousy quality but still. Kevin chasing Avi off the stage is fun in that clip after it gets pointed at the stage again. Tim Foust does this every once in awhile and they play with it in his band Homefree. It takes their bass proofed speakers a little while to recover. 9:10 Tim Faust blowing speaker takes a couple of minutes for it to recover. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b1bunrhxIaM.html Avi Kaplan same problem ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eeHRokYRVms.html

The distortion could also be due to the speaker that Avi blew with his low note at the beginning.

Aviiii is amazingggg ❤❤❤

Yay, the right version! If you want more Mitch, you need to check out Superfruit! It's his channel for music and comedy with Scott! Mitch is a LOT more of the focus, and they have bands and backing music. If you like kinda creepy cool Mitch, you'd LOVE Guy.exe, one of their original singles. Kind of Young Frankenstein meets Rocky Horror

Hey guys, Merry Christmas from Australia, have you done "Say Something" by Pentatonix yet?? I tried looking through your lists but couldn't see it. Have a great New Year and stay safe❤

You guys like Avi there, you should check out his over tone video. Very few humans can do it and it's crazy when he does it.

I love all your pentatonix reactions 💖 Please react to their cover of IMAGINE 💖

Great reaction,loved it ❤️❤️❤️....pls react to their mashup of New rules x are you that somebody

Y'all should check out some Superfruit. That is a side gig of Mitch and Scott. They preform to music and have some awesome titles..some have humor and I've been told some adult beverages involved. Lol. Defying Gravity is my favorite by them but they have several really great ones.

The prayer

Try Mitch's cover of Zedd-Find You. Thanks for the reaction.😊

New subscriber here, so I’m not sure what you have watched from Pentatonix so far. That being said, you should go check out Mitch & Scott’s Superfruit account, and react to their song “The Promise”, which is an 80’s cover...with music. Also, PTX’s version of “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You”. Absolutely breathtaking.

A good Mitch Grassi song to check out is his cover of "Your Power."

Check out Superfruit. Its Scott and Mitch by themselves with musical backing. Try Guy.exe or Imaginary parties

I agree with you on this. Although Mitch is definitely in his element on this one (and probably they all are), the audio and even the video are not as good quality as the other one and there's yet another I've seen that I thought was better.

Avi blows the speakers in this one, that is why it sounds distorted

Have you guys watched the Star Wars video? They have an entire symphony behind them.

You guys should react to the daft punk video.

I watch the official video and the y sound close.

matt is a bassatone he is a baritone who does bass just like scott, unlike avi who is a real bass.

Avi blew the speakers....

Maybe check out some superfruit stuff like guy.exe if you want to hear Mitch(and Scott) infront of music

Please react to Carrie Underwood - How Great Thou Art ft. Vince Gill live at the CMA Girl’s Night Out. I’d appreciate a reaction but if not I hope you’d still listen to it. It’s worth it.

Pleease react to Run To You Avi and Kevin wrote it. You will not be disappointed.

This is "Mitch slapped"...

This one was recorded on a phone, hence the distortion.

React to Mitch’s new cover of Billie Eilish’s ‘Your Power’.

This was shot from someone’s cell phone.....JD

If you want a real fun song by Pentatonix check out come along.

This one I believe is from cell phone.I think

hello jason thanks for react to pentatonix aha singapore the star vista reaction youtube video i enjoyed it but we need to react to the chappelle show and lavell crawford stand up comedy they are funny Brian i hope you behave over there dont give jason a hard time by laughting to hard

This performance Mitch had too much red bull before hand!!!

I see two of you are serious about listening to music on RU-vid. The guy with the "We Live" t-shirt is like, "Eh, whatever. I think I would rather be at the park playing with my dog" attitude without a headset. Thinking you can hear everything without a headset is like my great grandfather telling me that he never needed sound to appreciate a movie. Silent movies were as good as sound movies anyway." I couldn't convince my great grandfather otherwise. I think that it would be very very difficult to convince anyone wearing a "We Live" T-shirt that there is any difference between stereo speakers invented in the 1950s and digital sound from 2021. He thinks they are the same and he doesn't need any stinkin' modern sound with headphones. He knows better.

Literalmente cagaron la reacción, no tiene copyright, no tenía la necesidad que pasarlo en los mejores momentos 😔

The sound can't be much worse than that. This is a live performance recorded from the audience on a cell phone being listened to by guys not wearing headsets. Did you guys listen through a cell phone speaker too? You just aren't serious about listening to music are you?

Yup. U stopped at the worst part

"The sound is distorted". Duhhhhh! It's recorded on a TELEPHONE dude! You have no clue as to what can give you quality sound. I'll bet you are listening on laptop speakers. aren't you? Yeah, those 1 inch speakers are the BEST sound quality you've ever heard, aren't they? And you're giving ME an opinion on the quality with me listening with top line headsets? Go away.

I really don't like this version of the song... I mean there are 4 more people and just focus in Mitch...

Worst pause In history
