Reaction to Mad World - Pentatonix - Metal Guy Reacts 

When Matt is singing, Scott covers the bass line. Kevin is actually a tenor.

A lot of people get confused about Kevin because his beatboxing and vocal percussion often works together with the bass line, but Kevin doesn't ever sing bass notes. When he does sing, it's in the tenor range. Bass notes are always Matt, Avi, or Scott. Also, it's Scott and Mitch who have done other stuff together as Superfruit. Kevin, Avi, and Kirstin each have their own solo stuff. Enjoying your journey!

I believe Scott covers the bass line when Matt is soloing.....help me out Pentaholics.😊😊

Aha! Singapore at the Star Vista for live performance! It's great

Gold, any of the evolution videos, Aha! Singapore, any of Scott and Mitch's Superfruit music

Love this song and Matt and Mitch harmonizing.... Called MATCH

I'm one of the people telling you to react to this song. It's proof that you don't need the beatboxing to create magic. And the combination of Matt and Mitch is out of this world. Next one - Gold. Trust us, will blow your mind.

Aha! Singapore, live at the Star Vista! It’s a live performance filmed on a fans cell phone but still really good quality and definitely worth a watch!

Pop Spring 2016, 4 songs only 15 mins 👍. They have a live cover of Ride by 21 pilots. Then the Aha!, Telephone, and Break Free/See Through ( all from the Star Vista Singapore Concert). Love your reactions 👍

Popspring 2016 and Aha! Live in Singapore are live concerts, then you can also check out their cover of "Gold" by Kiiara, "No" by Meghan Trainor and all of their Evolutions of "Beyonce, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Michael Jackson, Music" are all one takes, them just sitting on a couch and Slaying Everything that they Sing!!!! They have a Live version of "Hallelujah"

If you want live performance and original songs take a look at popspring performance 2016

Kevin's cover of "Down" will knock your socks off.

Yeah, Scott is the only one who can take over the bass line. He's been doing it for a long time - whenever you see Avi or, in more recent years, Matt sing the lead it's Scott doing bass. :) A perfect example is Hallelujah. Watch their live performance on their channel.

There is a TON of live PTX videos. I'm sure there is an endless line of Pentaholics that are more than willing to send you some, but I recommend reacting to "AHA! Live in Singapore at the Star Vista". Mitch goes the f*** off. It's amazing.

Scott Hoying does I Should Tell Ya Momma on You, just awesome! Love your reactions!

Hi! I love your Pentatonix reactions. I have a couple of suggestions for you. Gold from Kiiara cover, Cheerleader cover, La la latch cover and their original song "Sing". Keep up the good work! Enjoy! Edit: I forgot the Rather Be and Havana covers! Oh! Mitch and Scott had a side gig called "Superfruit" and they did a lot with it however I honestly recommend Hip-hop goes Broadway, Hip-hop goes Broadway 2 and Empire Medley. It is SO GOOD!

If you want to hear them live, I think the best thing to do would be to start at the very beginning. Watch them on The Sing Off, where they started, now almost 10 years go. All 12 episodes of the competition are available here. And watch the intro and judges comments too. I think most of us who were on board from the very beginning would agree the highlights are episodes #10, 12, 7, 4 and 1 (in some order depending on personal choice -- this is my personal choice order, with 10 and 12 being basically tied). To give you a quick link, here's the link to #10, the episode that closed the door if there was any doubt -- they won it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yhTh6BqK6Nw.html

Here are a few live suggestions that are amazing... - "Pentatonix-Love Again (Live on 24/7)" posted by bluetennant1998 - "Cracked- Pentatonix Live" posted by H82LuvU - "Pentatonix- Run to You" posted by ClassicalMPR Of course the "Pentatonix- Aha! Singapore, Star Vista" posted by Shane Nicole everyone mentions is insane as well as their Popspring 2016 concert. Enjoy!

Ok. So for actual live performances, check out: “Aha -Live Singapore -The Star Vista” “Hallelujah” from their Christmas special “Popspring 2016” Also, their evolution series is a live recording, done in one shot. “Evolution of Michael Jackson” “Evolution of Rihanna” “Evolution of Beyoncé”

You should check out Lost on You by Scott and Mario Jose. Also Kevin does his one man band thing on Down (KOver).

Live "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" on Kimmel. "The Lucky Ones" live "Love Me When I Don't" live. Popspring live is about 5 songs, 4 of which are originals.

If you want to see Scott kick serious bass check out his cover of I Should Tell Ya Momma On You. He is a one man band and performed in one take. Enjoying your discovery of PTX.

LIVE one that doesn't duplicate a tune you've done - see You Tube "Pentatonix - La La Latch (2015 New Year's Rockin' Eve)" - otherwise - watch "Hallelujah A Pentatonix Christmas Special" to see Scott cover the bass while Avi has the lead

I second the requests for “Aha!” Live from the Star Vista in Singapore. The videos for “Gold” and “Silent Night” are also live, they’re all phenomenal

One of my favorites by Pentatonix and one that is not talked about a ton is their cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love." Love your reactions, some of the best on RU-vid! Check out the cover I mentioned if you can. Thanks!

Classical MPR has a live version of PTX performing Run To You. Just search “PTX run to you live”. I believe Silent Night on their own channel is also live. Those two are some of my favorites

So glad you gave props to Matt!!! I still think he gets overlooked sometimes

scott is doing the bass when mat is singing lead

for live ones Pentatonix - Cracked (Live on the Honda Stage at iHeartRadio) is a good one. There are probably a ton of live videos out there. Their tour schedule before 2020 was INSANE. Avi overtone lion sleeps tonight is also amazing (it's live and it showcases Avi's overtone singing which is super cool!)

Great reaction Thanks. This is one of my favorite PTX videos. I love Matt and appreciate your positive comments. I think that he's amazing.

please react to them in "The Sing Off" live and them in the beginnig

This is one of my favorites of them live. La La Latch. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5WjI5Ykg4yE.html I don't know if they have done Mad World live - it came out during the pandemic, so I don't think they've had many opportunities for it yet.

Reaction to Love me when I don’t by PENTATONIX live, it’s an original song

For live, as others have said, Popspring 2016 is amazing. It has four songs (3 originals), and is really really great quality. The songs are Cracked, Can't Sleep Love, Water, Evolution of Michael Jackson. Filmed by MTV, so the sound is great. Another if you want to get seriously Mitch-slapped is Aha! Live at the Starvista (Singapore). Make sure it's THAT specific one. Songs I recommend from all their side projects (except Matt, as I'm not sure he's done much yet): Superfruit: Rise, Guy.exe Kirstin: Break a Little, Naked Avi: Change on the Rise, Quarter Paster Four, Chains (both regular version and alt version), Full Moon Scott: I Should Tell Ya Momma on You, Lost on You Mitch (Messer): Graveyard, Angels Pray Kevin: Down, Human Nature, Renegade

React to all of their evolutions.

Ok, so the “Avi helped find his replacement” is actually all fairy tales. He left and they were just the 4 of them for some time before they found Matt. They had over 50 basses that auditioned, and Matt was the one that got in. Avi did comment on one of their covers a couple years ago and said that he is proud of his successor.

I like their "Pentatonix Daft Punk mix private performance". Recorded backstage in Orlando on someone's phone.

You have done a reaction to the PTX "Daft Punk" Official Video, so for a live version there is none more telling than the "Daft Punk Private Performance" on the Nick Riddell channel. It's Pentatonix back stage in a "green room" somewhere (looks like an office) with what appears to be just a couple of people, no microphones or any other enhancements or modifications of any kind. It appears the video was taken on a cell phone with the internal microphone mounted on a tripod, as simple and "straight" as you can get. Let us know how it compares to the original. Also you have done Hallelujah "Official Version". Now do the live performance from their Christmas Special. I think (and several other reactors I've seen) think it's better than the original. I love your reactions so keep up the great work.

LIVE STUFF LIVE Aha. Live from Singapore

A live version of Hallelujah at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-haFHrfmfHbc.html and their tour videos have some live performances as well.

Scott covers the bass. He even did that when Avi was with the group. In Hallelujah, Scott takes over the bass line when Avi sings his part.

Their Hallelujah Christmas special is a god live performance if you want to hear them live and compare them to their videos)

All group members (not sure about Matt, but everyone in the OG lineup) has side projects. Scott and Mitch have Superfruit. Kirstie released a solo album and did a run on Broadway. Kevin does have his own side channel (KO) which is an amazing rabbit hole (Kevin was on Live at Carnegie Hall at 16) and then Avi has his own solo stuff and some stuff with himself and the Sequoias. I know Avi has also done collabs with Peter Hollins and some other people. I know Matt was doing some stuff before but I am not sure what it would be under (if it's on RU-vid)

Matt & Mitch blend so well...you can really hear that on this song!

Yea... so if you’re gonna just keep doing PTX reviews...... then I’m gonna have to subscribe. Also, Matt is the best. My absolute favorite of any a Capella group

I call this "pulling the goalie" when they forego Kevin's percussion and instead go for full five-part harmony. The effect is mesmerizing on the right song.

Singapore star Vista,aha and telephone are excellent the concert there they were on fire.

"AHA! Live in Singapore at the Star Vista" is a phenomenal live performance!

This song is amazing. Come Along is an absolute must watch and would be a fun reaction. You were saying in the Daft Punk reaction how you cant help but move...Come Along is 1000% another one of those tunes. Edit after I got to the point when you said only live stuff lmao "Aha" Live Singapore the Star Vista is unfreakinreal. It's legit recorded on a cell phone but still hits incredibly hard. End edit

Just a handful: Pentatonix Singapore F1 Performance 17th September 2016 (Cover of Ride by Twenty One Pilots) PENTATONIX - "Gold" by Kiiara - Mohegan Sun - 11/12/16 Pentatonix & Dolly Parton - Jolene - 2017 PENTATONIX - COFFEE IN BED (LIVE ON THE LATE LATE SHOW) - 10 March, 2021 Pentatonix Performs 'Love Me When I Don't' On The Kelly Clarkson Show - 27 March, 2021 There's a LOT of material out there

I'm old enough to remember the Tears For Fears version in the 80s (hang on while I go get my cane...) and the original tempo is definitely andante - a far quicker clip than every cover I've ever heard of it. The thing that gets me is that this song works at both tempos, something that can't be said for 90% of lyrical music. The chosen tempo sets the mood, of course, and the PTX version matches the heavy/somber/thoughtful feel of the slower tempo with their close harmonies and extreme control of dynamics... which practically creates a new song. I'm convinced PTX can do anything, man.

The best live performance video is their 2016 Popspring performance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7GMHqYxpnzk.html . It was recorded by/for MTV so the audio and video is top notch. Added bonus it features three originals, 'Cracked', 'Can't Sleep Love', and 'Water' (led by Kirstin) along with a live version of their 'Evolution of Michael Jackson'.

I really like your reactions to Pentatonix and I just finished watching your entire Pentatonix playlist for about the third time. You are requesting "live" performances and I wasn't sure if you meant individually or as Pentatonix. If you're looking for PTX live, I would suggest the "Daft Punk Private Performance" on the Nick Riddell channel and the "Pentatonix Christmas Special" version of "Hallelujah". For an individual performance Kevin's "Down" is a must see. My vote for your next Pentatonix reaction is "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy". Think about it, an orchestral piece with no vocals being performed by an a Capella group without instruments. Also, imagine this this won them their second Grammy (after Daft Punk) for "Best Arrangement - Instrumental or a Capella". I'd love to see your reactions to that. Keep up the great work.

Aha Live Singapore is one of my favorites. It's very Mitch-centric, with the original bass Avi trying to blow out the speakers...the sound quality is what one would expect from a camera phone. But it is beautiful, raw and just jaw dropping.

Pentatonix covering "AHA" in Singapore the Star Vista is a live recording someone took while at the performance. And before you say "where is Kevin?" He's there, he just isn't shown. If you want to hear a really stripped down performance of the same song try "Pentatonix - Aha! (Cover) [Livestream]

They have a lot of fantastic live performances... their Hallelujah Christmas TV Special, Gold, any of their evolution videos, Aha! from Singapore, and Spring Pop Concert are some great ones to start with.

You wanted Live - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aT2Nm4fYmI4.html . Aha! Singapore - Or as every reactor says - "Where's Kevin?" This is filmed on a cell phone. Kevin is putting Beyoncé away as they start. At one point you will see Mitch turn and move to the left on the screen, but it's quick. That's when Kevin rejoins the group on stage. Avi is this video, people say this is the lowest of the low for Avi and the highest of high's for Mitch. Hold on to your seat and be blown away!

If you are looking for a live performance, Aha, Singapore the Star Vista is just the ticket, it must be this version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aT2Nm4fYmI4.html However, you may not be ready for it....rumor has it there were a couple of cans of Red Bull involved before the show...

Oh, sorry, almost forgot, for more Mitch and Avi goodness check out the fan video of them performing a cover of Imogen Heap's "Aha" at the Star Vista in Singapore, a favorite of every Mitchophile - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aT2Nm4fYmI4.html

Sorry....forgot to add...there IS a live version as well ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AW4MBiKw4Cc.html

Yeah it was Scott like others said. Best example of Scott doing a bass range is Hallelujah. A lot of people (myself included) didn't know he was the second bassline to Avi.

Be careful what you ask for,,, Live is great if you have a great mix but so many are from fans that not only are noisy in their own right but also singing just off pitch to give you that nasty warbling sound as if you were two Bb Trumpets trying to tune and one is off by maybe a quarter flat from the other. But you have to be prepared for that if you attend a Concert. I paid good money to hear the Group not the fans...JMPO...BTW they put on a Great Show. For their young ages in general you can't do anything but listen and watch in awe with the talents they are blessed with. Their arranging and Vocals are stellar. Enough said

Matt saved Pentatonix hands down.

I LOVE Avi, but i think Matt actually fits into PTX better. Avi is just one of my favorites ever, but Matts vocals, style, aesthetic overall fit the groups vibe better

I saw your reaction video on The Weeknd's Blinding Lights that you seemed to enjoy. PTX did a cover of that song a few months ago that you should check out : )

Yes it’s Scott on bass when called for when Matt/Avi busy… Kevin is beatboxer extraordinaire/tenor

Look at Hallelujah live on their Christmas special. I think it was 2015 or 16.

Please do their cover of Cheerleader, Royals, or Sing! I love their more upbeat songs and you haven't listened to many of those yet.

Check out their mix private performance with the daft punk cover. I love that they can do these effects sound with just their voice

No, Scott covers bass when Matt has a solo. Scott's range is crazy. Love your reaction!

I couldn't tell if you know that the original was by Tears for Fears in the '80s. While they take full credit for the lyrics, their rendition was fast, light, and poppy. A couple decades later, the movie _Donnie Darko_ revived the song, and gave it the slow, haunting melody we are used to today. So Pentatonix, was not covering the original; instead they were covering the completely different-sounding movie version. Some people seem to like the original, but every cover I have seen is _Donnie Darko's._ ⬅ My guess is that the ghostly images in the background were also a callback to the movie. It had themes of alternate realities and even a living dead.

If you want live performances go and watch when they first started in the sign off competition no recording.

Kevin has never covered the bass line as far as any performance I have seen. It is always Scott if Matt or Avi are singing. Kevin is singing some of the bell tones with Kirstin at times here.

Please react to their live performance of "Aha! starvista, singapore" 😊

Sad song based on depression. Must be so sad to suffer depression. They sang this to make it clear it’s a dark song

Pentatonix Cover “Say Something” With Kevin Olusola on Cello

Another fabulous song choice for them. Excellent!

Should check out some of Avi's solo work, too. "Change on the Rise" is a great one to start with.

Hey! I really enjoy your reactions, especially the kpop ones. I love that you try out so many different genres and cultures in music. My favorite kpop group is actually a girl group called Dreamcatcher. I’m not sure if you have heard of them or reacted to them, but I think you would really enjoy this group. Their music is actually rock inspired and they are one of the first groups in kpop to have this sound. It would be amazing if you watched their music video Deja Vu. Thank you so much!

you should listen to demi lovatos cover off her new album. :)

Scott...Scott covers the base when the matt and Avi sing a verse!

Love, love, LOVE...Matt! The timbre of his voice is so soft and smooth. He adds a whole new dimension to the band. BRAVO!

Love the Mitch-Matt high-low harmony. Then they echo it with Scott and Kirstin, but Kirstin is doing the low harmony... mind blowing stuff.

They should have let Mitch strike the higher notes.

Avi to Matt was the only change. No one else has come or gone.

Seasons Of Love sung live on the 4th of July.

I thought he was playing his cello at the beginning. 👍

Can you pleaaaaase react to Lewis Capaldi’s VEVO live performance of his song Bruises? Cant watch it without goosebumps. Every single time 🤗

Scott takes over the bass when Matt or Avi have a singing lead. Kevin is a tenor. LOVING your PTX reactions!!!💥

Everyone in Pentatonix have a huge range.

Sometimes Scott carries the bass.

Scott handles the bass!!! :)

Matt's voice is pure butter!

Yes Yes Yes Yes!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for you to do this one!!!!! Amazing!!!! 🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎😃😃😃

its so sad that most people are unaware of just how much Kevin does handle bass lines and try to make him only a tenor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To get a good perspective on Kevin's range... check Evolution of Michael Jackson and Imagine. To get better perspective on Scott's range... Hallelujah from their Christmas show and Mr. Grinch. You can also really tell when he hits the bass lines during Sound of Silence. This one gives us the special pairing of Mitch and Matt as well as Kirstie and Scott. They usually pair up differently during songs and this one keeps Mitch in a lower tenor range. Basically the whole group is not just talented but mega talented individuals with crazy sick range.

Suggest you check out Collaboration between Pentatonix & Lindsey Sterling doing cover of Imagine Dragon's "Radioactive".

Avi had fck all to do with matt, a company tasked by ptx company asked for rehearsal tapes from singers, they whittled em down to 8, then rest of ptx sang with all 8 and matt got the nod , avi was long gone before that, this was covered in an interview from ptx lips themselves

Please react to their popspring performance in 2016, they're singing 3 originals in it, as well as the evolution of michael jackson. there's also another live performance that will blow you away. Its a cover of Aha! but you need to listen to the live version in Singapore cause it's so much better. It's actually more of a mitch and avi concert haha:)

***** HERE is the one you didn't even realize you had been waiting for. Pentatonix & ... LIVE.... & .... HOLY $#$@#@#@$. As a lifelong vocalist & just someone who appreciates all kinds of music for many reasons... Also having heard you mentioning you enjoy this.... & enjoy "LIVE" ...... There is but ONE suggestion, imho. Something since, I've prob listened to hundreds of times over the years. Prob the best, most unique, intricate & well timed, etc, ETC, etc... thing I've EVER heard. Period, full stop!!!! What, just so happens to be PTX and... LIVE. (note: have checked to see if other versions are better quality & still go back to this one, so..... just be aware, the recording quality isn't great, at all.... recorded from audience + if not mistaken, almost sounds like either their phone cannot handle OR.... Avi actually blew out a speaker! Even still..... get ready, hold onto your seat, get your best headphones ready & GO...... OH & don't forget EVERY SINGLE version, chapter, copy... of those Goosebumps books!!! Literally, makes my HAIR TINGLE!!!!!!!!!) In case the link doesn't post, search for.... "Pentatonix Live in Singapore ... AHA!" Sure you're ready for this one??????? Here ya' go.... don't say I didn't warn ya! ;) Be well...
