@@NewfieReactions always when Avi/Matt sings, Scott is doing bass line. In you're mean mr grinch Matt lead sings and Scott bass line whole song. React i should tell ya momma on you by scott you would be suprise.
@@NewfieReactions - re watch this and you'll see how seamlessly Scott picks up the bass line as Matt starts his lead. It's easy to miss as you become entranced listening to Matt and his awesome voice :)
I'll need to check, but if you haven't, you should also check the studio version of this as done by Disturbed, which is a totally different beast again. Kirsten voice and her vibrato are just incredible in this and also in their version of Amazing Grace, which you did 3 months ago
You've heard Scott that low before, you could didn't know it was him! Anytime Matt (or Avi) take the lead, Scott takes over as the bass. Prime examples are Hallelujah (with Avi) and Mr Grinch (with Matt)
"Why does Mitch have to look different in every video?" Would it really be our favorite chameleon if he DIDN'T? I'm still a big fan of both of Simon & Garfunkel's original versions (the acoustic version particularly), but I have to rate this one right up there. And if you really want to hear Matt steal the show, check out their version of Mr. Grinch. Matt has the lead throughout the song and completely knocks it out of the park!
You have heard Scott sing that low before; he picks up the bass track when Avi or Matt are soloing. As far as I know, the only time we get to see him doing it is on the live version of Hallelujah. When Avi is singing, watch Scott over to the left and you can see him singing the bass line. I think this song is when Kirstin (Cur-stin) starts to come out of her shell. She steps up here and just owns it. You are one of the few reactors to comment on the bit where "words" goes from Kirstin to Scott to Mitch. It's one of my favorite bits and most people don't mention it.
Agreed M MG. I've seen reactors give various facial reactions or a 'wow' expression at that point in the song but no one has talked about it. It's more great PTX arranging and performance.
The arms reaching out during that part from Kirstin to Scott to Mitch!! Gives me goosebumps every time!! I've only seen one other reactor mention it. You can see Scott doing the bass in this one when Matt is singing. He's moving his hands but not opening his mouth. If Scott's moving his hands, you know there's sound coming out of his mouth! 😂
You actually have heard Scott sing low before. Whenever Avi or Matt take the lead, Scott takes the bass. Yes, he is a baritone, but his range, low and high, is phenomenal. Pay attention here and you can see it as well as the live Hallelujah and the official video for The Grinch.
Great reaction thank you agree sure is the best version of this I'm excited to see more ptx reactions from you 😁 Mitch no longer has the mallet he has a mustache back again and he changes his looks very often and he wouldn't be Mitch if he didn't 😊
Loved the reaction. You were caught up in the belltones and didn't hear matt go super low but you caught soo many other things reactors dont, that wasn't a big deal. The words, words, words going from Kirstin to scott to Mitch is awesome. And you gave Kevin the credit he deserved which was great!!
It doesn’t help that you jump all over the place instead of watching them in reasonable order. Just kidding I jump around too. I saw a female hair style trend 2021 & the modified mullet is huge. I think it’s in part because of Mitch. ☮️💟😷
Them singing this song each and every time I listen to it (numerous times) it gives me chills up and down my body they are such a powerful vocal group...when it’s time to mow my lawn I put my earbuds in and play pentatonix videos on RU-vid
Every single time I forget their are no musical instruments...just a wall of sound they create with their voices...I love these guys!!! My Gawd!!! lol love the reaction.
This is absolutely a perfect performance by PTX and you caught virtually all of the key elements, from the background light, to the transitions from one lead to another, to the brief focus on Kevin's beatboxing, all of which combined with the outstanding leads and harmonies to result in this top tier classic.
I had the album of Simon and Garfunkel when it came out. Yes, yes, yes, this is the best! I've listened to it so many times I can't count. These guys can do no wrong. And yup Scott carries the bass. So much talent🌞. Love your reaction and you talk fast enough! I'm on the border of Canada, you don't talk slow when it's cold 😁. Love when you lean into the camera.👍👍👍
Thank you for your terrific reaction ! I love that you see the unique touches they add, visually and in their voices. Each person gets to shine here. I love every song they sing ! :)
It’s likely just me but Scott/Mitch’s verses seem to so beautiful echo Disturbed and then Simon and Garfunkel then they make it their own. Love this, love your reactions!
Eddie, the original was by Simon & Garfunkel in the 60's but you should check out The Sound of Silence by Disturbed (before PTX cover). Whole new different experience. Even Paul Simon was impressed and shared it on his social media account.
In the early video's Mitch had cancer, so when he didn't have hair and was skinny, he was going through treatments. He's healthy now and doing much better. But he always has his individual style, it's part of what makes Mitch, Mitch!!
When PTX, or Angelina Jordan, cover a song, that cover becomes the definitive version...period. In an interview years ago with PTX, they were asked if there was a song that they would never attempt to cover, Scott answered, "Bohemian Rhapsody"...then, several years later..voila! As they have matured, so have their voices, all of them have significantly wider ranges now, and their expertise at arranging has grown as well (along with the "sixth" member, expert arranger Ben Bram).
Queen's version of bohemian rhapsody is still the definitive version but ptx definitely has the closest feeling to the original...not that I've heard other covers of bohemian rhapsody very few people are ballsy enough to attempt to cover it.
@@super_siri "version" usually refers to a cover in music terms, not the OG. In any case, I'm dismayed by the number of reactors who are obviously not familiar with this OG. They are surprised by the right-to-left audio swing that PTX does, but almost no reactor appears to remember that Queen did exactly that. 😏
@@super_siri Yep, I doubt anyone will ever top Queen (I mean, seriously... Freddy Mercury rules!) but PTX does the best cover I've heard. And they track so perfectly with the feel of the original, it's pretty amazing.
He sang the beautiful bass in Hallelujah! I think Scott is not recognized as the most adjustable singer (he can sing bass, tenor and high notes)! He is overshadowed by Mitch.
You’ve heard Scott sing that low before, but he was covering bass while Avi or Matt was singing lead and it was so seamless you didn’t notice. Matt’s the bass, not the beatboxer. But you knew that.
I’ve loved Simon & Garfunkel for a good 40 years & this song specifically is one of my faves but I prefer this version if I’m honest, it’s more dynamic. Love love love PTX & I adore Mitch, his voice is truly a gift from God (love his chameleon vibes too) 😍
Hey Newfie...I doubt that this will win your Pentatonix polls, but they have some super covers that will blow your mind...the sing in different languages: "Perfume" (Japanese), "Gangum Style" (Korean), and "Papauotai" (French)! Another one that is a bit under the radar is a 2012 rap rendition of "Thrift Stop" (Macklemore & Lewis). You will love them guaranteed !!
Amazing! Loved your reaction as well Eddie. Keep up the good work. This is my favorite version of the song by far. The other two don’t even come close for me, but each person has their own opinion that’s right for them.
Love the original, but the darkness of Disturbed and the tragic beauty of this one give me goosebumps!! So good. You should check out Home Free for some more (different) amazing vocal talents with beatboxing percussion.
Scott is a man of 70000 voices. Who do you think is singing the bass in Hallelujah when Avi has the solo? It’s SCOTT. He has an AWESOME voice but attention is always on Mitch (and rightfully so) BUT…
Great reaction! PTX did an absolutely amazing job with this cover. Also, I don’t know if your interested, but even if you don’t do a reaction of it you should check out Jimmy Edgar’s READY2DIE which features Messer (Mitch’s solo project) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pyo9gKYY-Yk.html
Great reaction, but you paused in the middle of Matt’s solo, just before he slid his voice to the basement. Listen to it again and I think you’ll be impressed. He’s doing an excellent job filling Avi’s shoes.
Had to make sure this wasn’t a reupload 🤣 can’t believe you haven’t gotten to this one yet it’s usually in the first 3 videos people see. Great reaction nonetheless 🔥
Definitely the best version ever. Even better than the original, although that's not Simon & Garfunkel's fault, they were only 2 people in the 60's. Lol! I am really loving your channel! Gonna go sign up for Patreon now!
If you like Pentatonix, you really realy need to check out VoicePlay dude. They do not get as much recognition as PTX but they are definitely just as amazing. Do react to them.
They can afford to act hard in these official videos because they like every video is lip synced. but they still give it in live performance just not quite as much lool
This is beautiful and I like vocal skills. But if you haven't already, you might react to the stunning Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence. In my opinion it is the best.
@@stephaniekirby3073 no problem. Stay healthy. I’m getting my first vaccination on Thursday 3/4. I now qualify under New York State’s rules, since I have pre-existing conditions! Yay!
When you have the chance, listen to PTX with Dolly Parton in Jolene. Wow! A totally different video again that shows their versatility. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oYCoyUxY2HY.html
hmm as for the version of this song, this one is more entertaining and full of harmonies, but i still prefere the cover from Disturbed. Only one singer, but David Draiman gives me the goosebumps as you feel in your bones the feelings grow and blossom into the anger that the message isn't heard.
Oh my God YOU do know Matt has Zero to do with beatboxing. He is a BASS he supplies rhythm like a bass guitar but he is not the Beatboxer (that is Kevin’s function)
You keep saying Kirstie's name wrong you spell it correctly when you type it but she really hates it when people call her 'kRIsty" her name is kIRsty so please try to say it properly its so disrespectful to constantly mispronounce someone's name. thank you.
Im sorry but I'm really not a fan of this version, not that I'm saying that they're not talented. I just much prefer the version that Disturbed did of this track (mv), you should really check it out Eddie it's just awsome, it gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. Great reaction though fella. 😁👍
Both covers are excellent. With David Draiman's raw emotion and how well it captures the darkness of the lyrics, I do give the Disturbed version a slight edge, but with the amazing harmonies here it's very close.
