SOUND OF SILENCE - PENTATONIX - REACTION VIDEO! 

Please watch their brand new release, Mad World, but be ready, it’s haunting and powerful.

I love, love, love your reaction! React to "Hallelujah". You won't be the same. Then, try "Imagine". Amazing!

Also, a must see is “Happy Now”

Hey Dani Uncle J-Man here. It’s about time you did one of my requests as good as that was you have to react to them singing MARY DID YOU KNOW and BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY you’ll love them even more. Pentatonix never disappoints. Your right it’s amazing what they can do with just their voices with no instruments or electronics simply amazing. Great job see you on the next one. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome song amazing reaction... very genuine!

Suggestions: Daft Punk medley (won them a Grammy) Hallelujah Bohemian Rhapsody Can You Feel the Love Tonight Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (won another Grammy) Love Again Run to You Happy Now La La Latch New Rules x Are You That Somebody have fun, they'll take you on a ride!

I love them and every song I've heard them sing.

I agree. Perfection! WOW!

This is my first time here. I just wanted to give some history to this Simon and Garfunkel song that originally came out in the later 70's, I think. They are speaking of a vision of a nuclear explosion- the neon light split the night, tens of thousands talking but not speaking, people hearing but not listening, people writing songs that no one shared, bc they are just aimlessly walking out of shock of what has just happened. Then the people wrote on the subway walls and tenement halls as Prophets to the future generations, so that they do not repeat this in theirs or future generations. When I was a child, we had to do duck and cover exercises for the broken glass and the bright light of a nuclear explosion blinding us. We got through that crisis, but now we have a country testing long range missiles. Time to take heed, and keep it from happening again. By your reaction, I welcome you, a new Pentaholic to Pentatonix. You now have to check out their version of Hallelujah, not the live performance, but the one shot on the desert. And then, ' Mary did you Know? '. Their voices are phenomenal!

They also have a cover of shallow you might like saysomething is also amazing 👏 enjoy

Pentatonix have been putting out amazing music since 2011 ! Great reaction~ More? Run to you; Say Something; Light in the Hallway; Standing By ~~ just for starters!

Hi Dani. Fantastic reaction to a brilliant performance. Their versions of “Hallelujah” and “Imagine” would be great for you to react to next.

For sheer performance amazement try "The Wizard of Ahhs" with Toderick Hall. For holiday joy try their renditions of... well, lots of them but their live Silent Night is amazing and Winter Wonderland/Don't Worry with Tori Kelly is fun. Can't go wrong with anything Pentatonix.

Son hermosos!!!!!

Their video is amazing! They are my favorite group! I just discovered them 3 days ago and can’t stop watching and listening to their videos and all of the reaction ones too. Their voices, clothing styles, arrangements, backgrounds, are so so outstanding. And let’s give credit to whoever did the arrangements and even whoever is recording their videos bec their shots are incredible too

Their version of "Mary did you know?" Will have you in tears. Give it a listen when you get a chance.

Is this your first time watching Pentatonix? Holy Cow, you felt that and it showed on your face. Love it.

Great Song + Great Performers = Beauty. The song writer in this case is the great Paul Simon. This song was a huge hit for Simon and Garfunkel in the sixties. To think that this song is 55 years old and yet is still as relevant today as it was then is a testament to it's timelessness. The performers in this case are equally genius. And when you combine great material with great performers its almost a given that the end result will be a great performance but sometimes the combination rises above greatness and reveals beauty itself. I wouldn't even begin to try and define the idea of beauty but all I can say is you know it when you see it, or in this case hear it. And I hear it in this performance. It's like these artists have taken a great song and revealed the beauty within. I grew up listening to this song and the original version was a classic and so my hat is off to a group that can make it new again. It's magic!

I do agree with you,,they are amazing singing The Sound of Silence. It's very emotional, it gets you right in your soul.

You could imagine sitting in a music hall with an entire orchestra playing and a chorus singing.

Hi Dani, I'm Pam, from Kentucky. I enjoyed your reaction to Pentatonix/Sound of Silence. If you haven't heard, "The Prayer", "Hallelujah", you're going to love PTX even more. They are heavenly perfection!

Hi Dani, nice to see you starting down the road to becoming a Pentaholic. Additional songs to react to would be “Bohemian Rhapsody” , “ Daft Punk Medley”, “Hallelujah”, “Mary Did You Know”, “Mad World”, “Say Something”, “Gold” and “Imagine”. If you want to check out a couple of their original songs (not covers) react to “Run to You” and “Sing”. That’s just a few for starters. Once you start down this rabbit hole, there’s no going back. Enjoy the journey!

Their rendition of Mad World is incredible. Also take a look at the original song Run to You.

The bass singer from Voiceplay just released a cover of Black Bird by the Beatles. It does a good job of showing off his vocal range. If your hooked, then you'll soon be hit with songs by Home Free, Voiceplay, Voctave, and Peter Hollens. There are over 800 covers (along with Pentatonix) that these singers have posted on RU-vid not including videos of live performances from their fans.

I can’t believe I missed your reaction of this. It is so beautiful. Plus how your so into it.

Hellow from Way down apon da ole Suwannee river. You give this world a warm sweet Breath of fresh air,thanks. For being you!

Dan here in Virginia. This was a good version of this song. If you like harmonies you should listen to California Dreaming from the Mamas and the Papas

Hi, Dani, thnks for your wonderful reaction. Check out Hallelujah and Can You Feel the Love Tonight, or any of their Christmas work. They won Grammys for their Daft Punk mashup and for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (from The Nutcracker - no words, no problem!) and their collaboration with Dolly Parton on her iconic song Jolene. Have a great day, and thanks again!

Loved your reaction! Mind blowing aren’t they? Each member has a wide vocal range allowing for creative arrangements. YES they are incredible individually and together they are a powerhouse of sound! Only one band member change. Avi was the bass 2011-2016, Matt (heard here) since 2017. They all sing in Mary Did You Know? You might like their cover of Can you Feel the Love Tonight with insane key changes! They have original music too! Those of us that have followed their journey since they won the Sing Off in 2011 call ourselves Pentaholics! Welcome from Texas!

BTW, you should listen to their rendition of "Shallow".

Mary Did You Know, Imagine, Mad World, Bohemian Rhapsody, to name just a few Pentatonix faves, but it is hard to go wrong with them.

People will immediately recommend "Hallelujah" and "Imagine" or "Mary Did You Know?". Those are wonderful, but a few of my "odd" favorites are "La La Latch", "Rather Be", and "sing". Enjoy the Pentatonix ride!

Texas talent at it's best!

Hi Dani, awesome reaction to sound of silence by pentatonix,s yes indeed awesome group if they were in concert with home free I definitely would go to see them in a heartbeat. Awesome Dani if I remember right pentatonix did a version of jolene with dolly parton you should check that out as well.

Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole!

Another great video by PTX. Nice reaction. I also love "Can you feel the love tonight?"

New subscriber here from Ontario Canada. Basically anything Pentatonix does will give you goose bumps. Please do more reactions with their music. I love it.

Stunningly beautiful!

this incredible group has over 200= songs to listen to....explore this beautiful "rabbit hole".....PTX NEVER DISSIPOINTS!....love your reactions....

Dani please listen to them singing Amazing Grace..you will fall apart on this..their best so far!!! Go go now!!

Wow what a great voice.

This is a gold medal performance of an absolutely golden song written by a couple of musical geniuses.

Wonderful reaction. There is so much to their music. I love their voices, their blend and the way they support each other but get out of the way of whoever happens to be singing lead. I have sung in choir and barbershop and I have an inkling of how difficult it can be to blend as well as they do, esp. with 4 strong voices and equally strong talent. I also want to acknowledge their arranger, I believe his name is Ben Bram (someone correct me if I got that wrong please) their arrangements are utterly unique and eminently them. No one else does the magic with song arrangements that they do. So many details they do ; for instance in this performance the times when the background harmony anticipates where the lead is going and leads us into it and then deftly recedes so the lead can take us there. Then there is the way the music mirrors the words; ie " fell into the well of silence and all the voices descend as the enunciate the "fell" - just magical. I would second all the recommendations others have made but add " Oh come all ye faithful " it is sung in a way you will not have heard before but once you hear you'll not want to hear it any other way. Also "I'll run to you " is a fantastically well done video and the only thing that surpasses it is the song itself. It is , I think, an original composition of theirs. Lastly, Listen to "white winter hymnal" it is really a visual treat as they sit quietly in natural surroundings and they include a follow-up video to teach the choreography that goes with the song, really delightful.

If you watch older videos, Avi Kaplan sings bass. He left the group (for personal reasons) in the fall of 2017. It was an amicable parting. He helped to find his replacement, Matt Sallee (who’s in the white jacket on the left!). Avi has dark hair and a beard. I second what everyone else is saying: YES YES YES YES YES to other PTX songs, but especially to “Happy Now” (their new original song!) and “Mad World” (cover of the Gary Jules 2001 version, which was a cover of the 1983 version by Tears for Fears). In “Mad World” Matt has a stunning duet with Mitch (some Pentaholics are calling that duo “Match”).

Imagine and Hallelujah are wonderful.

Hi, I am new here. I'm glad that you are using headphones to get the full experience of Pentatonix. Oh, Pentatonix without the. I liked your reaction. Greetings from Germany!

Oh and Dani PTX have won 3 Grammy's in the 10 years they have been around. The 1st one in 2015. Amazing

Their version of the Christmas song "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" would stand up to this one for beauty and originality. You should review that one!

Love your reaction and that’s why they have those 3 Grammys so far.

"Imagine" is my favorite of theirs. Excellent song for the time we all are going through now. BTW loved your cover of Shallow.

Anyone else notice how the pandemic has produced such a flurry of new reaction channels for such as Pentatonic and Game of Thrones? Not a complaint, by any means. Every member of Pentatonix has vocal skills that could make them the lead in almost any other group. The real killer is the wise range that each singer has, and their ability to intertwine with each other and weave vocal patterns that are very difficult. Scott (tall blond) has a three octave range - he sings both low and then high in this one, and takes over the bass line when Matt (Bass in white jacket) takes the lead.

I think they should have gotten an award for this

Hi just found you and subscribed.Ty for having your vsound audible so audiencecan hear and enjoy.I appreciate it

This has to be one of the most covered songs of all time. But no matter who covers it (and this was an amazing cover) , I still always hear Simon and Garfunkel in the back of my mind. :)

Their latest one "Mad World" is great but their real tour de force is on "Can You Feel The Love Tonight". It really highlights each of them, but the overall blend and arrangement is beyond belief.

Some times strange things happen and come together in ways hard to explain. The 3 vocalists in the center of this video all went to the same high-school at the same time and began to sing together at that time. And that was the beginning of Pentatonix (PTX). The odds of that happening?

That was great. Totally agree with everything you said Dani. The only thing I might say is that the delicacy and quiet of the original I feel suits the lyrics better but this was a tremendous display of vocal ability and a very tasteful and creative arrangement of harmonies and background singing.

I think this was newer than the previous PTX song you reacted to, as this was from Feb 2019. They formed in 2011 (when they were 19-23) with their first EP being released in 2012. And while they were always good, they have improved with age and experience. I’m from the Chicago area.

ptx also does a cover of shallow!

Welcome Dani!!! Nice reaction

I have subscribed. You are the FIRST person to get what I feel when I watch them. Once upon a time I had a band and whenever I hear these guys sing, the purity of their sound makes me ACHE inside to sing again. I understand exactly what you mean.

💕 ********************PENTATONIX IS LIKE A MIRACLE FOR OUR EARS********************** 💕 Great reaction!

I never heard of this group but the performance was impeccable thank you for the video Dani!!

“This is perfection”...yes!

Since it’s coming close to Christmas you should listen and react to Mary Did You Know. Another example of perfection.

Welcome to the wonderful world of PTX!!😆 once you start it's hard to stop! **little piece of advice bc a lot of PTX stuff has an issue with getting flagged: def pause the video & comment plenty of times throughout. Just make sure you back it up a few seconds so you don't miss anything😘** Here are my personal top recs: •Imagine •Can You Feel the Love Tonight •Come Along •Daft Punk •New Rules/Are You That Somebody •Aha (official video & THEN the live in Singapore version filmed on someone's phone..good double feature option lol) •Happy Now •Mad World •Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy •You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch •Making Christmas •That's Christmas to Me And if you really want to get to know them & their story, watch their whole journey on The Sing Off!!🖤 Members: Matt Sallee (new bass) - handsome black man with buzz cut Kirstin Maldonado - girl duh lol Scott Hoying - tall blonde Mitch Grassi - the ever changing chameleon with the angelic voice Kevin Olusola (beatboxer+) - handsome black man with longer hair Avi Kaplan (bass that left in 2017) - guy with the beard in the older videos

Very good. I love it.

Pentatonix never disappoints. Pick any song of theirs. You will be happy.

The version done by disturbed has a much better message, this is like a Christmas song. The message can be heard in the disturbed version

You have a whole playlist of live performances from the Sing Off, a competition that they won and rose them to fame!!

I absolutely loved seeing them in pitch perfect 2

Their newest release for the cover of Mad World, like rondilee m says, it's haunting and powerful. There is no beatboxing in it, which I think actually lends to the depth of the song. And the imagery in the video takes it to another level.

Really great reaction! I hope you keep reacting to more Pentatonix! "La La Latch" is one of my favorites but you really can't go wrong. Lots of good suggestions in the comments below. They just released a cover of "Mad World" last week if you want to see where they are now.

Dani, Pentatonix is known as the Christmas Band. My recommendation is to do a reaction to “Mary, Did You Know.”

Hi from Madagascar! Lovely meaningful reaction so genuine ! Subscrided right away !

Run to You( their first original), Love Again, any of their Evolution of.... songs, Gold

More PTX, please! I recommend their evolution videos. Evolution of Michael Jackson, evolution of Rihanna, evolution of Ariana Grande. Also, Gold. But, you can't go wrong with anything they do!

If you want to see how they've progressed over time you might want to check out some of their earlier works which I didn't see listed elsewhere. I highly recommend Radioactive (with Lindsey Stirling), Royals and Somebody That I Used To Know.

Pentatonix is just as good live as in recording

That was a beautiful reaction, Dani, and completely understandable. One of their most requested songs is always "Hallelujah". Their official video is wonderful, but you might consider reacting to them performing it live on a nationally televised Christmas program. It's just a good as the studio version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-haFHrfmfHbc.html

I have seen this live and it's better than I could have imagined. I hope you get to see them live one day.

Singer hasnt been out 2 years yet. Best source of his work is on THE VOICE AUSTRALIA. His name is SHELDON RILEY. I SUGGEST his take on THE SHOW MUST GO ON.

I love the clean, sharp end. There are no hissing snakes. Everyone ends at exactly the same time. Their wall of sound it amazing! Each member has a phenomenal range and there is always some to take over a part when the lead singer changes. There is never a break or thinning of the depth of sound. Some of my suggestions are: Daft Punk (1st Grammy), Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, original Run to You (no beatboxing, all five sing), Hallelujah, Mary did you Know?, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies (instrumental - no words - 2nd Grammy), Making Christmas, Jolene with Dolly Parton (3rd Grammy), the list goes on and on. They have a good mix of covers and originals. Their mashups and Evolutions of are incredible - absolutely flawless transitions.

If you were moved by this you must see Hallelujah. You will cry. It’s so beautiful.

Disturbed takes this perfection to a higher level

kirstin belting out those high notes at the end when everyone joins back in just blows my mind. it sounds so damn good.

hallelujah, amazing grace, daft punk, say something, and thei christmas album including mary did you kinow.

STUNNING!!!! complete wall of sound created by 5 humans.(or are they??) Try" Can you feel the love tonight" all the key changes are amazing, and Matts bass line superb.

You need to hear Pentatonics performing I can't help falling in love with you. It's amazing.

Hi from New Zealand. What an amazing reaction, although not entirely unexpected. You can't go wrong with any PTX reaction, such a joy to listen to.

Thank You! More PTX please! Wizard of Ahhh's by Todrick Hall featuring Pentatonix!

Oh hon, you haven't seen anything yet. LOL Welcome to the family. *winks*

Welcome to the new world of a capella. Pentatonix and Home Free have rewritten the book on a capella worldwide. All of the suggestions for more songs to listen to are great. Pentatonix has 3 Grammys, one for their "Daft Punk Medley" (Daft Punk), one for their" Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" (Tchaikovsky), and one for basically being Dolly Parton's backup band(?) on "Jolene". Also, try "Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen), "Imagine" (John Lennon), "Bohemian Rhapsody" (Queen), "Mad World" (Tears for Fears), and of course, any of their Christmas music. For Home Free may I recommend their "Man of Constant Sorrow", "Will the Circle be Unbroken" (Johnny Cash), and my favorite, "Helplessly Hoping" (Crosby, Stills & Nash) (and then a quarantined Italian Youth Choir's cover of Home Free's arrangement). BTW - Both of these groups sound MUCH better through headphones. You hear so much more.

Hallelujah is a must, then go from there

It's a Hauntingly Beautiful Melody :) Peace and love from Canada eh :) sorry :)

Sounded this good in concert too!

they did this so well I had to go and buy it myself :)

More PTX reactions please.

Great reaction! Will definitely check out your cover of "Shallow" - such a lovely melody, looking forward to it :-) Lots of good suggestions here, especially "La La Latch" because it showcases their ability as musicians to blend songs together and make something new in addition to beautiful vocals. However, maybe you should just go over to their channel and look through some titles and find something that you would love to hear
