PENTATONIX - DAFT PUNK REACTION (REQUEST) 

Hey Anthony, thank you for reacting to my request as I said you are great and very talented, my friend!! My name is Greek, not Russian!!! Thank you again

They made this video with a $400 budget and filmed it in a closet in one of their apartments. They won their first grammy with this video! They currently have 3 grammies, and their original album Evergreen was also up for a nomination. It's amazing what they can do with their voices. Kevin, the beatboxer, also plays cello. He created cello boxing! It's how Pentatonix found Kevin. Kevin had released a video of cello boxing and it went viral the same week they were searching for a beat boxer. He initially said no, as he was graduating from Yale with a pre-med degree. He decided to give the show a chance, and the rest is history!! Avi Kaplin left the group in 2017 for personal reasons, and Matt took over as a new bass singer. I love Matt the most! He had huge shoes to fill, and he did so magnificently!!

Since you love rap music, you may want to watch their cover of "Can't Hold Us". Scott, Mitch and Kirstie (rhymes with thirsty) all rap in it. I also love their mashup of "La La Latch", with Avi as their bass singer. Sound of Silence is amazing too. Matt does an excellent job in that video.

You’re an excellent beatboxer! This video and Hallelujah both featured their old member Avi (the one with long hair) who was their bass. Now they have Matt (white jacket in Sound of Silence) who joined late 2017. I recommend their 90s Dance Medley to be your next video!

This won a Grammy. Kevin can play the cello at the same time he beatboxes. Celloboxing.

That was funny. Do you know who else enjoyed this? My neighbors. Lol Mitch is considered a counter tenor. I have heard that he can sing above soprano. This was indeed an EPIC video. I want to thank you AND the person who paid for the request.

New Rules x Are you That Somebody would be a good one. Kevin and Matt shine on that one

Avi is an amazing bass. he has his own youtube channel as well. you should hear him do overtones..its freaky and wonderful.

I think you would love their cover of Imagine. There is a story in their video that I think our world needs to hear these days! I love your NF reactions as much as PTX!!! The other acapella group you would love is Voiceplay. They just released their new video Valhalla Calling. The bass singer will blow your ears off!!

Hey your good! I think you would love their original "Love Again". Killer bass and beat boxing and they look amazing.

Hoi. Je moet luisteren naar hun originele nummer LOVE AGAIN. Echt een memorabele prestatie! [Official Video] Love Again - Pentatonix ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-F80FsZDTgn0.html

Since you like Kevin's beatboxing, a good video would be Kevin's fifth. It is Kevin's cello boxing solo from their 2022 Christmas tour. It's on the PTX Weekly News channel.

Woo-hoo, way to go with the beatboxing! I’m so glad you’re continuing with Pentatonix. It makes me happy when people who know music appreciate their work. It reinforces my own untrained appreciation. There’s a mini-beatbox-battle in their cover of Last Christmas. Kevin seems to be the type of guy who welcome the challenge. Love watching you as you come to know PTX! Keep ‘em coming. Peace … Oh, and don’t worry about blurring or obscuring the videos. As long as you can see it clearly, we’re fine.

I am SO glad you have discovered Pentatonix with the rest of the world. They are the best. Soon you will be a Pentaholic How about reacting to their music: "Mary Did You Know", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "The Prayer", "Amazing Grace", "Imagine", "Evolution of Music"...

This is a band that is said gets out of each other's way musically. I agree 👍👍👍

Quite impressive, sir! This was a very entertaining reaction! Came here first for Bo Burnham, then stayed for PTX! Hey Jamie really has my taste in music! Thank you for your thoughts, appreciation & talented ear (and mouth)!

There was a TV show here in the states, I believe called "The Sing Off", I remember Sara Burrellus, Jewel and other famous artists were the judges. It was all tryouts by groups that only sang acapella. That is where I first saw Penatonix! Followed them ever since! Thanks for recognizing their sound and tight harmonies!❤

Why am I just now learning that Anthony can beat box? New talent unlocked lol

There is only one word that can describe Pentatonix, and that is TALENT ✨

Great reaction. They won their 1st Grammy for this. You are very good at beatboxing. You need to check out Kevin at the Christmas Spectacular. He plays the cello and beatboxes. He does it in a few videos but this is a concert. I was fortunate enough to be able to see this tour. It is amazing what he does! Please continue reacting to them..

When reacting to PTX, please WEAR HEADPHONES! Love your reactions though. The PTX rabbit hole is a deep one! Subscribed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❣️

I've subscribed and I'll watch every review of Pentatonix you do. Thank you so much!

Brilliant Reaction... (Best I've seen yet) Pretty Brilliant beat boxing as well. Thank you.

Thanks for your reaction... I landed to your channel last year trough BTS reactions... And Pentatonix is one of my favorites groups after BTS ... Although I knew them before my bangtan 😊 Let me give you some suggestions to react to: - 90's Dance Medley - Bohemian Rhapsody - When the party is over - Imagine - Blinding Lights - Can you feel the love tonight - Gold Kiiara cover - Love Again - Havana - Shallow - Mad World - Evolution of music - Evolution of Michael Jackson - Evolution of Rihanna - Evolution of Ariana Grande - Where are U now - Cheerleader Regards from México

Damn Bro! You can beatbox!!!!! So freaking good. Subscribed because of your PTX reaction AND your obvious talent!

What a good beatboxer you are, great ! If I can give you an advice, listen with headphones, I swear the experience is different, so much more precise and you'll hear all the details on the bass that really, you can't enjoy equally without. They're amazing .. you should check Can't hold us or Gold by Kiara. In this one they're live, on a coach, and this is special. Thanks for this moment and hope you'll continue to react to PTX 😘

If you want to see an EDM style original, check out Love Again! Loved your reaction!!

It boggles me that you have such great beatboxing abilities ! Rapper, writing abilities, great bass singer voice, and beatboxing... very talented you are 😮

This is a worthy Grammy winner! If you liked this, you will LOVE their original EDM track 'Love Again' where Kevin does some amazing beatboxing and Avi does some equally amazing bass drops.

Thank you for showing the incredible talent of a beatboxer. It is hard to believe those sounds come from a human.

new here from ireland. can you react to pentatonix sing. love again. cheer leader. radio active. shallow. the feeling cant hold us they rap in this

Avi, the bass (beard). He was known for blowing stadium speakers. If you type in Pentatonix Singapore Aha! live. You will hear when Avi's base blew a speaker, yet they carried on. What also makes it extra special is when Mitch is on. The story goes that he was jetlagged and chugged two or three red bulls to give him energy. It makes for an amazing performance.

Wait till he gets to “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”!!! 😂

Watch closely, they don't blink. one of my favorites.

Check out their version of Bohemian Rhapsody or The Prayer. Amazing!

If you want to see the low notes Avi Kaplan can hit then you should check out their cover of AHA live in Singapore. It is a fan recorded video but so worth the watch.

waiting for the reaction on Pentatonix's 90s dance medley

Don't know if your Twitch chat told you, but they recorded the song in a closet and the video in Avi and Kevin's kitchen. They spent $400 on this video and won their first Grammy for best arrangement.

Loved the last comment about your neighbors enjoying this song too.

Hello there ! So you entered there too ! Fun facts, you did this the other way round from me... I was into them before BTS. Then they made an a capella mash up of Dynamite and Butter (brillant) and that’s how I started up my BTS journey... since then, I’m still sailing on purple wave !

Anthony, love your reaction. Great chair dancing, lol.

We gave no problem with you covering it. We are here to watch another person discover the amaziness that is PTX.

The ptx rabbit hole is a blast too Anthony. Check out can’t hold us it’s a vibe 👍

I'm a HUGE pentaholix since 2013 And im so glad u reacted to them 🥺🥺

PTX is a voice technical wonder...their arrangements are exquisite and all of them have their very personal sound which together melts into perfect harmony. Avi, now soloartist, is incredible! The sensational about him is the soothing tone in his voice, laidback but still very powerful when needed to be. I have read a lot of comments from his solo vids and a lot of people thanks him, telling him that he have help them through hard times because of his music and that special soothing voice he have and I agree, you become calm listening to him.

You know it’s real when Anthony goes full Dutch

They won an Academy Award for this video.

I'm a proud Pentaholic!

Mitch Grassi is the Counter Tenor with the high voice. If you continue to watch their stuff you will see what an incredible talent he is! They are all incredibly talented . . . Mitch has that little extra Umph!!

They won The Sing Off in 2011. They made a guest starring appearance on America's Got Talent as non-competitors a couple of years after that. The founding members are:- Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five-to-six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass. Scott Hoying (tall blond guy, natural baritone but has an impressive five-to-six octave range, can go all the way up to high tenor and down to bass, sings the bass lines when the usual bass singer takes the lead); Kirstin "Kirstie" (Rhvmes with "Thirsty") Maldonado (the only female member, natural mezzo soprano, but can go down to low alto and as high as upper soprano, also can sing in whistle notes that are off the scale); Mitch Grassi (a true contra-tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also. She just got engaged. Mitch Grassi (a true contra-tenor, can hit high notes in his chest voice with ease and go WAY higher in his falsetto, also with ease); and Avriel "Avi" Kaplan (dark beard and long hair, true basso profundo, trained as an opera singer, also can go up into the tenor range; Kevin "KO" Olusola (beatboxer extraordinaire, also is a world-class cellist who plays cello on some of their songs, has a beautiful high tenor voice and gets occasional lead vocal solos as well, graduated pre-med from Yale and speaks several languages including Mandarin Chinese. Kirstie, Scott & Mitch grew up together in Arlington, Texas, and began performing together as children in local youth musical theater. They ended up in high school together and performed in the choir. While there, they formed an a cappella group called The Trio which had several performance videos go viral on RU-vid, most notably a cover of Lady Gaga's "Telephone". The three of them are best friends and consider themselves to be almost siblings. Scott & Kirstie (who were a class vear ahead of Mitch) both graduated high school in 2010 and went their separate ways to different colleges, Scott at USC. While at USC, Scott joined a USC-based a cappella group called the SoCal VoCals, where he met alumnus Ben Bram, who was now an arranger and vocal coach for the NBC TV show The Sing Off, an a cappella competition show. Ben convinced Scott to get The Trio to audition for the show. The three reunited (Mitch had to skip high school graduation ceremonies to go) in Los Angeles for the audition. They found out that the rules had changed, so they needed at least five members to audition. Ben put them together with Avi (a native of Visalia, California), who he knew from Avi's performing days at Mount San Antonio College in California. They found Kevin (from Kentucky) through one of his RU-vid videos that had gone viral featuring him playing the cello and beatboxing at the same time, a talent that Kevin coined as "Cello-Boxing". Kevin arrived in Los Angeles literally the day before the audition! Scott came up with the name "Pentatonix" after the pentatonic scale. They performed a re-arrangement of "The Telephone" for the audition and passed, despite having been together as a five-piece group for less that 24 hours! They won The Sing Off that season (all of the performances are available on RU-vid), in which they received a substantial cash prize AND a record contract with Epic Records. They pooled their prize winnings together and all moved to Los Angeles, and all got apartments right next door to each other in the same building. But just a week later, Epic dropped them because the marketing people didn't think an a cappella group could sell records. Instead of giving up, they were determined and began recording their own songs on RU-vid, hiring Ben Bram as their producer and arranger. These usually consisted of the five of them but when their cover of a medley of songs by Daft Punk not only went super-viral, but also won them their first Grammy, they were promoted all the way up to RCA Records, Sony's top label. They began writing and producing their own songs in addition to their covers, began putting out a Christmas album just about annually (which has become their best-selling genre), and have had multi-platinum album sales, sold-out world tours, and have won two additional Grammys. Avi began getting burned out with all of the touring and heavy recording schedule, was suffering from anxiety and personal problems, and learned that his mother had been diagnosed with cancer in 2017. He announced he was departing from the group and taking some time away from the music industry. Matt Sallee (from Baltimore) was brought in as the new bass singer in early 2018. When he attended the audition for the group, he had already mastered the Bass part for most if not all their past catalogue. He was successful and has proved that he fits in well with the group. After a year away from music, Avi has now returned as a phenomenal solo artist in the Folk/Americana/Roots genre. Ben Bram has been in charge of their production, including arranging and directing from the beginning. He is often referred to as the sixth member. Scott and Kevin are major players in the arrangements, but every member contributes. He just got engaged to Kirstie. Also, all members are songwriters for both Pentatonix and their own solo work. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They have been nominated for a 4th Grammy. Ed Boyer who mixes everything of theirs (even the HWB Livestream) is the one who pulled Ben Bram into the sing off in the first place. They have been nominated for a 4th Grammy for their album Evergreen. Kirstie became a new mum which caused a pause in touring after their Evergreen Christmas tour 2021. They just got their a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Thank you for sharing with the neighbors.

"He has a high voice man" ROFL You have no idea... recommend Pentatonix - Can You Feel The Love Tonight. Also can't wait until you see Kevin (beatboxer) Cellobox...lol Blessings.

I'm about 1/2 a year late, but I really loved this reaction (it might just be my fav)! 1, When you basically showed what and how Avi (insane bass, bassboxinging I think he calls it) and Kevins' beatboxing/percussion, which can prove naysayers wrong about the sounds not being possibly done with only voice, as you did it on the fly as you listened! 2, Your true appreciation of their abilities, always bringing attention to Avi n Kevins' parts that I feel many can inadvertently overlook, and by doing that get more folks not so familiar with PTX, like myself, a full understanding & appreciation for these incredibly talanted humans!

Agust D teaser is out now!! Pls react!!

Kevin said My Favorite Things was one of his most challenging songs to beatbox… just saying…

I’ve watched several of your older Pentatonix reactions where you mention how Mitch can hit high notes. I would love to see you react to two of their videos which really showcase Mitch’s range: “The Prayer” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” I’m subscribing to your channel and hitting the 🔔. I’ll wait…

I recommend, "Bohemian Rhapsody," their original, "Love Again," and their upgrade of Kiiara's "Gold."

You would love Pentatonix's cover of "Gold" - it's done in one take and so clean. And their original, "Love Again" is my absolute favorite - Kevin and Avi in beast mode. And I 100% recommend Avi's solo work, start with "Change on the Rise," "Chains," and go from there for an emotional journey. I'm a therapist and I use Avi's music when I'm working with clients struggling with deep emotions.

There used to be some beatboxers who reacted to PTX and analyzed the beatboxing techniques. There was a Mexican guy, Xureck, who also beatboxed along with some PTX videos, trying to duplicate Kevin -- here's him doing "Daft Punk" -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TyfFOiHXjY4.html The other guy was Japanese -- the channel is -- ボイパニキ -- and his PTX stuff appears to be gone, but he does have a reaction to Adam Rupp's drum solo.

Sometimes my english is a little kapot too, no worries xD EN ZEKER GAAT DIE GAST EROVER! 8:25 Nice that you finally got a good listen to him, i was so sad when he left the team, though Matt is also amazing, this guy....

I feel ya bro........she's hot!

Heard you mention Castellucci, I love love love him. I love VoicePlay so much. And I Welcome you to Avi Kaplan, also a wonderful bass, been said to speakers too 😁 From an Armyholic, *"Enjoy your discovery journey of awesomeness"* 💜

"He's got a high voice, man". No shit! Mitch is a Natural Countertenor with a 7 octave voice range. There are less than 10 known people worldwide with that range. Freddie Mercury was world famous for his 4 1/2 octave range. Here's a video that shows Mitch's entire voice range (Phenomenal): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X4YjMKjLkZ0.html

Anthony please also react to BABY MONSTER. Much appreciated!

They did this video in 1 take.

Really enjoyed your reaction. It was very entertaining. Your beatboxing is awesome but not as good as Kevin’s. More PTX please. 💕

:Late to the party ... you need to see the video of their cover of Last Christmas (2022) - there's a beatbox battle between Kevin and Hikakiin (Japanese beatboxer).

More PTX please..anything, us Pentaholics don't care. But I love their mash up of New Rules X Are you that somebody

Their live private performance of the Daft Punk Medley is also worth checking out. It shut up a lot of people who thought that they couldn't possibly do this song live as well as it was done in the video, or that their talent was all production.

You are a good reactor and beat boxer! Avi Kaplin is solo now! His music is great! Try only getting started! I’m a pentaholic will follow you for more of them. Be made Blissful everyone!

Since you like beat boxing so much, check out Kevin's 5th. He beat boxes while playing classical cello. It's epic

You really want to go down the PTX rabbit hole, check out what Kevin can do solo - take a look at "Down (Marian Hill KOver) - Kevin Olusola"!

Antony lease react BTS FLY TO MY ROOM PLEASE🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Funny you should mention being from Mars. Scott (the tall blonde guy) last year came out with his first solo single called Mars. It's amazing!

Thank you for the beatboxing info❤

Ren, Pentatonix, Harry Mack... on how many roads will I meet you? Thanks, this is great.

Love your reactions!!! They didn't Bohemian Rhapsody. Please react to it.

I’m Dutch and when you said I switched to full Dutch I didn’t even notice 😂 (Ja het klonk Vlaams.. maar dat was het enige)

Need to react the the 90s dance melody they do

Anthony, love the beat boxing. You should check out Shlomo the human beat box when you have time. He’s really good.

Love Again Can’t Hold Us Sing Can’t Sleep Love Coffee In Bed Aha!

"You know who else enjoyed this, man? My neighbors." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

had to check out your breakdown, got to know if this was read shit or not, you de expert AR

GREAT REACTION!❤ Try their original LOVE AGAIN!😅

I found out about them many years ago when they released Evolution of Music. I was totally blown away by this medley!

So, Mitch, the guy you mentioned has a high voice is a countertenor. 😊 His range is over five octaves. The Mitch is talented as heck.

Hey Antony, I am from Antwaarp, love the videos !!

Hahaha. What's Kevin got? 365 MILLION views!

ze zijn geweldig, ze komen naar brussel maar concert is al uitverkocht helaas, ze zijn zo goed live. als je op youtube pentatonix daft punk mix private performance intikt heb je echt een prive optreden zonder micro. is gewoon top. maar voor de rest raad ik alle nummer aan maar misschien met de volgende al verder gaan. can't thold us imagine bohemian rapshody eigen nummers zoals sing en happy now mix zoals evolution of music of de evolution of michael jackson. en rond kerst hun kerstmuziek zoals little drummer boy en carol of the bells. maar je vind bij de collega's pentaholics reacties ongetwijfeld nog topnummers.

God DAMN I miss Avi (the bass singer)...why did you leave!?😢

Hi, you said that this was epic? Well, wait until you react to the real epic songs from PTX😂

New sub. You hooked me with your sick beat boxing and analysis of the same. Well done!

Im the person who is easily impressed by how the background effects are to support the main voice

You should watch a video about people getting Mitch slapped! Mitch has a beautiful high voice and he can just about go into the stratosphere

If you like this, You should check out their song, "Love Again"

Hey Anthony. Love your reactions. Love your personality! Have a good day😊

Bro your beatbox skills off the fuckin chain god damn, nice

Nuff said. This n Radio Head cover will always remain my faves to this day. ❤❤

Yep, men herkent de typische stijl van een antwerpenaar. By the way, ik heb hen 3 keer live gezien (oa een uitverkochte Lotto Arena). Live zijn net zo goed.

Anthony, YOU are a fantastic beatboxer yourself!
