Pentatonix-The Sound of Silence | REACTION 

My favorite part was Scott in that last solo part; such power in his voice. You will hear this numerous times, but please wear headphones because it will open up a whole new appreciation for just how talented they truly are at their craft.

Scott also took the bass part while Matt was singing lead.

5:54 I'm so glad you stated this. It's for some reason still a debate in the PTX community that needs to change. It's been like years now (I exaggerate of course). And people still compare the two instead of giving Matt his own individual merits. Excellent reaction!

We obviously forget to appreciate Kelvin who is really beatboxing to perfection. He's so important to this group.

There are so many Pentatonix videos to choose from, and you’ll be disappointed by none of them. They are Masters of their craft. But please please don’t let Run To You go by. Avi mentioned it at the end of Daft Punk. Many others have covered that song (an original by Pentatonix). It’s not only my favorite PTX song, it’s my favorite song of all time. No beatboxing. No lead singer. Just perfect five-part harmony from start to finish. The words will break your heart and uplift at the same time! (“I will break down the gates of Heaven. A thousand Angels stand waiting for me.”)

YES!! This is exactly what I love in a reaction when it comes to this song specifically! I’m SO GLAD you picked up on Scott doing the bass because most times people react to this song so early on (because it’s amazing!) and they miss stuff like that! Scott is absolutely the 🌟 of this one for me! I just love that he’s so versatile and can go really high or low. He’s my personal favorite of the group! I recently heard someone in a reaction say “wherever Scott needs to be is where Scott is” and I think I’m going to start using it, describes him perfectly! LOVE your reactions and I can’t wait for more! I would suggest their cover of Shallow, you get a Scott and Kirstin duet and they sound amazing together. With everyone else being absolutely amazing in it as well AND you get to see Kevin’s amazing cello-boxing skills! Also their Evolutions really showcase everyone also, my favs are Evolution of Ariana Grande and Evolution of Rihanna! 💙 (sorry for such a long comment I just love Scott and PTX, and if you read this whole thing ily! 🤣)

Go back now, watch it again & watch Scott humming HIS ASS OFF thru nearly the whole song!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Their range, versatility, and arrangements are just ridiculous.

They've just done a 90'S Dance Medley with is really fun.

Kirstin is the little power house of the group. While Matt sang, Scott took over bass duty.

Wall of sound by 5 people just amazing. Scotts vocal fry/distortion is sick. "Can you feel the Love" is a great one to hear Matt with an insane bass line and PTX sounds like a heavenly choir. love your reaction so subbing in.

Knew Matt would pass your test. Not Avi but still great! I love watching your face, so expressive. I can tell what you are thinking. I think you’d really enjoy “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”

Kirstin really shows her strength in this one. And Matt really has a wonderful singing voice as well as doing the bass.

Love your reactions, you're so expressive, literally my mood watching the performances You can check out any performances they don't disappoint, some examples are: Bohemian Rhapsody, Shallow, Wizard of Ahhs, Say Something, Amazing Grace, their 90s medley Honestly any song

MORE PENTATONIX!! Scott has such a wide range!! He is a baritone but sings bass and hits falsetto!! They ALL have a great range!!!!👏😄

You are one of the very few reactors from whom I actually want to hear more from. You pick up things that most people don't and your comments are often on point.Your videos are never too long.

Yeah, you basically just need to do every song they’ve ever performed. Hahaha

Imagine should be next. Incredible messaging and unbelievable harmonizing

Scott is a baritone who takes over for the bass when the bass sings!

If you want to hear some amazing harmonizing between Matt and Mitch, try Mad World. Very beautiful. I also think you'd really enjoy their original song Run to You. It's haunting. Both suggestions I've made are 5-part harmonies and just so beautifully executed.

This reaction is adorable ❤️

Gabbsi please react to pentatonix 90's dance medley!

Scotts range & vocal versatility is ridiculous ! Gabbsi, you should react to one of their new originals, I suggest, Thank You, Happy Now or Be My Eyes. Thanks❤🤗⚘ P.S. They just dropped a new MV a couple of days ago called, " 90s Dance Medley ". Peace & Love

And Pentatonix Perfect cover

Wow, first view, first comment. Another great reaction so thanks. So many PTX videos to watch but there are no bad ones so please keep them coming.

Great commentary thank you ! I too am particularly moved by that segment of Scott's performance. He can be so manly and noble. ..

What a powerful performance, thank you for your reaction, totally perfect, you react with your emotions and don;t stop, people should learn how to react properly.

Mad world - definitely you have to react to

I love your facial expressions when you listen to the songs. They tell exactly what you are feeling without any talking necessary! So enjoyable

Their version of Amazing Grace is outstanding.

@Gabbsi, you will note that PTX doesn't repeat things stylistically if they can help it. Each song IS different. If you want to REALLY blow your mind over those differences, check out their Christmas music selections. Their versatility is beyond belief.

You need to wear headphones to fully appreciate their harmonic subtleties.🎵

We gotta see you do Amazing Grace. Everyone has a part. Just subbed for Pentatonix and Home free reactions... enjoy the ride❤

Love your reactions, and by the way you are a beautiful looking woman!

You’re doing great, girl. Don’t forget AHA(Singapore) for the ultimate Mitch/Avi face!

Scott’s range is crazy! You should react to “Change on the rise” by Avi Kaplan. It’s amazing!

Does not get any better Gabbsi, thank you girl..

Coffee in Bed!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

One of Avi's best moments with PTX happened in their original song, "Run to You". Incredible!

Haha....someone is becoming a Pentaholic!!!!! I love it!!! Keep up the reactions and I'll keep coming back. After you become a Pentaholic, if you're not already, then it's time to become a Home Fry with Home Free reactions. I wanna see it...Let's do this!!!!! Thank you though for your reactions. I'll be waiting for the next one..... Peace ✌

good interplay between Matt and Kevin: New Rules x Are you that somebody . . .

Nobody puts more passion into a performance than PTX. Matt has an, almost, identical range as Avi . Note that the timbre of Matt's voiice is so much more soft and mellow. He brings a whole new dimension to the band - all good! P.S. Headphones are suggested - for your listening enjoyment.

Another great video. I was in junior high school when this song came out by Simon and Garfunkel, I loved it then but.....oh my gosh I cried like a baby when I heard PTX’ version. I think I can safely say that “we all miss Avi, and of course wish him well. For me? It’s taken some time to warm up to Matt, but he’s got great talent as well. Please keep them coming!

New subscriber, thoroughly enjoying your reactions!

Evolution of Michael Jackson with Avi ! Wow 😳 Factor? Off the charts!

Next: Havanna or Amazing Grace (Or Shallow). Or if you want not Avi: Say Something. Love your reactions! Open mouth, disbelief in your look, hand gestures... all very authentic and fully relatable!

Perfection ❣👌🥰

New subscriber hear. Loving your PTX reactions. A few of their amazing videos are, Can you feel the love tonight, Evolution of Michael Jackson, Amazing Grace, Imagine, and their newest 90's dance melody!

i also love Avi and miss him in Pentatonix, but the song that completely won me over to Matt as the new member? Their cover of 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch.' Matt takes the lead vocals in that one, and oh my god, he OWNS it! It showcases everything he brings to the group - and also gives us a chance to hear Scott doing a stellar job with the bass in his stead. I also love how much Matt enjoys himself in Pentatonix's more lighthearted numbers - he always looks like he's just living his best life, doing his thing. 😁

Please react to their cover of Imagine

1:34 " I never get used to this." Me: "Why you should ?"

I know it’s not pentatonix, but you should slash check out “no tears to cry” by Citizen Queen. It’s an all female acapella group founded by Scott. But a good pentatonix song is their cover of “shallow” Kirstin shines bright in that...again. 😋

Bohemian Rhapsody 🔥

If you really want to see Mitch showcase his talent, Bohemian Rhapsody.

You want to hear a fun one you should listen to Voiceplay's Boy Bands in 5 minutes and their version of "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Oogie Boogie Song"; you would be surprised by the harmonies and the incredible range of the bass singer who has the deepest voice of all so far an E1 and F1

Great reaction! You should try Amazing grace!!! It's my favourite!!!

Here's the funny thing about classifying voices...it not always about how high or low you can go, it's about what _register_ you sing a given set of notes in, where one's "breaks" are to shift registers. This affects the timbre, the _quality,_ the resonance and overtones, that one singer has even when singing in unison with another. Even though Matt & Scott's overall ranges pretty much overlap (more so than Scott & Avi), the _sound_ that Matt produces is (dare I say) darker, broader, more resonant; Scott's is cleaner and more airy. That is why I would classify Matt as a lyrical bass and Scott as a lyrical baritone..."lyrical" in this context meaning "having a range broader than the basic voice classification". Of course, some notes will always be in a particular register, at the extreme ends (chest & whistle). Avi was a specific type of lyrical bass, the _basso profundo,_ meaning that he could go considerably lower than the average "true" bass.

From 10 to 2? It's called dynamics, aka variations in volume, a lost art in the raucous rock&roll era. "ppp" _pianissi-issi-mo_ (barely whispering) "pp" _pianissimo_ (very soft) "p" _piano_ (soft) "mp" _mezzopiano_ (medium soft) "mf" _mezzoforte_ (medium loud) "f" _forte_ (loud) "ff" _fortissimo_ (very loud) "fff" _fortissi-issi-mo_ (full blast). PTX went from, I'd say, pp to fff. Composers may choose to use pppp and ffff, but they are nonstandard notation, and _generally_ only applied to instruments that can be used with more finesse or greater power than a human voice. I have seen pppp in vocal scores at least once, though.

listen with headphones... check out HAVANA.

There are so many to choose from! (I love all your reactions...just saying.) There is Mad World, La La Latch, Havana, New Rules X Are You That Somebody: mash-up, to give you a little variation. They have a different genre individually but meld so well! Pure talent by all! Amazing to see 5 people, all talented together in a group. They can each stand alone and make it...but man I'm so glad they work together! Avi does have his own YT channel and you should check out Change On The Rise, he wrote the song. Thanks!

IF you want to hear Scott sing on the higher end, both New Rules X Are you That somebody and Waving Through a Window

If you want to see Mitch go absolutely nuts, please watch ‘Aha live Singapore star vista’ You won’t regret it 😊

Hi. Thanks for the reaction video. That was great. Please react to Silent night by pentatonix, live performance (they are in the church) The arengementt, the harmonies are very beautiful. And the acoustics are 🤯

Liking Matt now, huh? Matt has been with the group for three years now and has been a fantastic addition to the group (plus, Avi helped select him too). Matt brought a new and different dynamic to the group as soon as he arrived, and they haven't lost a step with him onboard. He came from a musical theater background just like Kirstie, Scott & Mitch, so in some ways his personality fits in even better than Avi's did. I know you have just started your Pentatonix journey, but the more you get a chance to listen to their entire catalog, you'll realize that the group has just continued to get better and better. Their latest album The Lucky Ones (made up entirely of original songs) is a masterpiece, and the new single they put out last week, 90s Dance Medley, is amazing too.

you might want to check out Superfruit, cover of the promise (scott and mitch )

You should do Amazing Grace and Mad World from them

Please, please, please react to Mary Did You Know. You hear every member sing, even Kevin. It is my favorite Ptx song.

Must react to “Marry did you know”

Kirstin is amazing, but the queen in this group is Mitch. Also, please, watch Bohemian Rhapsody, they are beyond amazing in this one! Imagine is a great one not only for the video and the message in it, but you can hear Kevin singing, and he sings like an angel. He also graduated in cello at Yale, pre med, speaks Mandarin, and has great solo work, I think all of them have.

Not enough reactors give Scott his due on that last verse. It’s one of my favorite parts (of many, including Matt and Kirstin’s verses) and makes me ugly face every time.

you've now seen 3 classic PTX videos. Next try Amazing Grace, possibly their best vocal work!! Or Bohemian Rhapsody another classic

May I suggest "New Rules" cover - really showcases Matt's bass lines.

try Voiceplay or solos by their bass Geoff Castalucci

Can you react to Pentatonix Dear my Friend, it’s a Japanese song, with Little Glee Monster.

PTX is so AWESOME and have so many GREAT videos to choose from, two of my current favorites are "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from The Lion King ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cT1Kzk7akjQ.html and "Amazing Grace" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Obp-9BEZe1c.html I think that you'll really enjoy them both, have a WONDERFUL week!!!!

You must check out Avi’s Change is on the Rise. This is the REAL Avi.

U should listen to Ania Debrowska cover of this song.. for me is the best cover vision..

I can't recommend "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" highly enough

Please react to their 90's Dance Medley!! 😁😁

if you would please check out Pentatonix singingImagine. I believe you will enjoy it very much

Hello gorgeous lady ptx Brilliant x💯😘🌹

Great reaction, love it! For a Matt lead, try You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch. He's killing it, and Scott sings the bass line. Christmas-y, but you can listen to PTX's Christmas music year round. Scott is known for his riffs and runs. Try Cracked (an original). There's no official video so try this live performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-brnC5BOgcHs.html. For his upper register (he can go quite high), try Problem (Ariana Grande cover). In case you didn't know yet: Mitch and Scott have a side project called Superfruit. It started as a humorous vlogging channel, interspaced with musical episodes, and culminated in an album full of original songs. It's not a capella but nonetheless great to listen to. For starters, you could check out their Empire Medley, their Evolution of Lady Gaga and Evolution of Miley Cyrus, and Beyonce (a medley of all songs on Beyonce's self-titled album) and Defying Gravity (though this one is more of a showcase of Mitch's vocal abilities but you get to hear Scott's upper range). They also have a fun spoof with Kirsty in the Frozen Medley. Just keep in mind for all Superfruit videos to always watch until the end; they have bloopers.

MAD WORLD SAY SOMETHING RUN TO YOU RADIOACTIVE 90s DANCE MEDLEY MARY DID YOU KNOW DANCE OF THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY SHALLOW ......for starters....🙂

Somebody please do a reaction to Avi's solo of. " Change is on the Rise"!!!!!

And imagine

Please react to PTXs cover of Kiera’s. Gold. It will blow your mind

I wonder if Paul Simon has listened to this.

Check out Avi's solo work! Absolutely Amazing!! Check out "Change on the Rise" or brand new song "Song for the Thankful "!

Ostavlja bez daha, iako je Avi nesumnjivo bolji bas.Isto će ti se dogoditi ako poslušaš recimo, "How great thow art" - Home Free, ili "Go rest high on that mountain", ili "Auld lang syne".... Imat ćeš potpuno isto pitanje iznad glave, "How is that posible?"

Hello... 👋☺ I love your reaction. Next, Please reaction to SECRET NUMBER : - Who Dis mv - Holiday (Dance Practice) - Got That Boom mv - Privacy (Performance Video) Thank You🙏

Voiceplay - oogy boogy

Matt was chosen by Avi to replace him with the group.

North Macedonia...correct? :)

😆 I'm sorry but it's funny you didn't make it through 1 line...
