Vocal Coach Reacts to The Wizard of Ahhhs by Todrick Hall ft. Pentatonix 

The only negative part of this work of genius is that it didn't get any Grammy notice.

We know we all love Pentatonix, but in my book, Todrick Hall is a genius. He is a multi-talented genius!!! And, a really great person as well.

Tara: I'm done freaking out Me: Oh, no, you're not!

Please please please react to Mad World by Pentatonix, its honestly mind blowing and made me speechless

Hah, and Pentatonix just released a new song - cover of _Mad World_ - a few minutes ago. Great timing! I'm surprised you hadn't heard this one yet, though! Wow, clear back in 2013… This was one of the first times a collab came out by two artists that I already followed independently on youtube. Those got a lot more common for me later, but this was kind of a blow-your-mind "I can't believe this is happening!" thing at the time. The things I love most about this video (besides having a Toddy/Pentatonix collab in the first place) are the "I'm a on the cold, hard ground" (which I thought was genius -- even beyond the rest of the appropriate song selections -- and you obviously caught it, too), Toddy's makeup and costume as the Wizard, and the "Home" mashup at the end -- freaking awesome, and just brings tears to my eyes every time. I also recommend watching his _Beauty and the Beat_ - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJzds6fRfjM.html - if you haven't seen it, which is even a bit earlier. I'm *not* suggesting it for a review, mainly because Toddy has since said that he realizes it draws on a bunch of stereotypes and doesn't draw a positive view of black communities… but he's leaving it up anyway to show where he came from and how he and other artists have grown and progressed in both art and awareness. But it's still a really great video if you take it for the comedy and fun that was intended.

PLEASE REACT TO MAD WORLD BY PENTATONIX IT JUST CAME OUT!!🥺

Pls react to Mad world....they just released it today.....it a mind blowing song

I love that so many of these songs are in their new song “Home.” It’s so cool to hear the evolution. 💜💜💜

Can we just appreciate how much Kirstin sounds like Idina Menzel as Elphaba? She sounded incredible. The whole group is amazing and has grown so much since then, though.

Todrick actually DID do a full version. It is called Straight Outta Oz. It isn't the same as this, but it is a full production of over an hour long. Kirstin, Scott, & Mitch are in it - the number is called "Black and White". There are some other famous people that duet with Todrick in it, too. It basically takes the Oz story and reworks it into Todrick's semi-auto-biography with some poetic license, obviously. All the songs in it are originals, I believe, but it has been a while since I watched it. I highly recommend it. It is too long to do a full reaction, but you could break it down into each individual number and then give an overall reaction after you complete it. Just an idea. The link to the full 1 hour 11 minute video is at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4mUSwHhJ6zA.html&ab_channel=todrickhall

Todd, you are the luckiest guy on the planet for collaborating with the best group in the world

I realized the first time I saw PTX on the sing off that they had landed here from another planet. And they have only gotten better and better over time. I too am a vocal guy, but this is way above my pay grade lol! I heard this when it first came out and have to revisit it from time to time just to keep myself humble! My favorite group by far over the last few years and my admiration seems to grow each time they drop something new for us mortals to devour. Delicious stuff! If they don't make the hair stand up on your arms, "you ain't got no" hair! Oh, did I mention all vocals, no instruments? And by the way, they can do it live!

Kirstin in somewhere over the rainbow!! ❤️😍

Did you catch the “Oh We Oh” in the background of Todrick’s part?! Genius!

The moment K started in the beginning, I got the chills. OMG they are all so good

Kirtin is a perfect Doroty, also she´s literally a princess so yeah lol

AHHHH FINALLY SOME SANGERS! This is the type of content that I love from you. To see Tara fan girl about music is what I love to see. I feel like I’m talking to one of my musical friends that I’ve known for years and we’re just appreciating other insanely talented artists! Thank you my beautiful friend Tara for yet another fun time with you stay safe and see you next time. 🥰

The queen has returned

The mixing of the witches guards' "oh wee oh" from the movie into Kanye West's Power is what always got me about this Also the cup song being in it really dates this, it's amazing how that went from being everywhere to nobody talking about it

I didn't know you could buy a throne. That is so cool. All Queens everywhere deserve one. 👸

please please please react to pentatonix's mad world!!! they just released it and it's so good!!!

As soon as you freaked out over Kirstin, I just kept thinkin', "Girl, you are NOT ready for Avi's exquisite low note" and your facial expression proved me correct! Can I just say...? As amazing as the entire mashup is, truthfully, I stay for that low note. For real, it's my ringtone. I replay it EVERY. SINGLE. TIME that I hear the song or watch someone react to the video. And this video was no exception. It deserves the chef's kiss. I can't remember what note that actually is but it never fails to sends chills up and down my spine. Avi has delivered plenty of spine-tingling notes over the years but this note in particular is like being served the tiniest, most delicious and richest chocolate cake in the whole world - and even though its packed with twice the calories as a regular sized chocolate cake, it makes me ravenous for more. I genuinely wish someone would make a bass chamber for anxious folks, already! The world could sure use one to soothe the heart!

Now I need someone to do a full scale production of THIS Wizard of Ahhs! Could you imagine all the new music? It'd be amazing.

PTX's Trio also sing with Todrick in 1 of the songs in Straight Outta Oz, his 1 hr. musical auto-biopic. It's called Black & White. You can just watch the individual songs as music videos which feature Todrick &/or other fabulous singers, however I think watching the whole story with Todrick narrating is even better. It's an interesting, emotional (& sometimes even funny) story. Edit: He calls it a "visual album", but in effect the videos all link to make an autobiographical movie.

Kirsten opens it up so beautifully! Wow!

Been waiting for this for a looooong time. Also.....Kirstie did a cover of over the rainbow for the world dog championships and that gave me giant goosebumps. Definitely check that one out!

Please react to Mad World by Pentatonix

PLEASE react to "STRAIGHT OUTTA OZ"... Todrick's visual album. You'll be blown away!!!!

Loveeeeee this songggg. And yes. We all need @Kirstin as Dorothy in our lives.

She is usually really good about pausing to explain things to people of background or even just the vocals. She loves this so much she just keeps going lol

In looking at all of your Pentatonix reactions I don’t see that you have reacted to their “Daft Punk Medley”. Since you liked this mashup so much I think you would like that video. It did win them their first Grammy Award!

1:03 Ms Tara, love your reaction there, and yes, Kirstin is now my Dorothy :) I loved seeing you express your JOY in this reaction video. I appreciate, and have learned (A LOT) from your technical pauses in other vids, but I gotta' say that right now, this is my fave from you. Thank you for all your time and effort, but especially for authentically sharing yourself. God bless you! Subscriber from across the ocean. Take care

Did you see when Todrick did a parody of Pentatonix's "Daft Punk"?? He TOTALLY paid homage to them, turnt it completely out - its hilarious too - quite creative.

I can't believe this is 7 months old and I haven't heard it till now! What a masterpiece! And, like Tara said THIS needs to be the blueprint for a total remake of The Wizard of OZ with a mega-budget, Computer Graphic Special Effects, and in 3D!

I appreciate the fact that you took the time to mention the fact that they did show the original movie with Judy Garland and the cast of Wizard of Oz. There are only a very slim few that did mention it. Loved your reaction.

YESSSSSS! A renewed jukebox musical called the Wizard of Ahhs!

I can't believe you haven't seen this till now. I love the fangirling

PTX released “Mad World” this morning. I love the song anyway, but their treatment was so hauntingly beautiful you have to see and hear it.

I would pay good money to see this on stage. They were phenomenal. I always get a tear at the end.

Finally! This video may be seven years old but is still iconic as ever. It doesn't have a video but they did a full cover of Over the Rainbow in 2017 and it's pretty great. You should totally react to it. Also please react to Us The Duo, it would make me so happy.

Your reaction could not have been better. This mash-up was so beautifully constructed and so incredibly inventive. It may have been their best performance ever and certainly their best collaboration. Amazingly, astounding, and every other praise word I can imagine.

May I suggest you Pentatonix "The First Noel" and/or Avi's original "It Knows Me"? Also, if you liked Kirstin here I truly recommend you their rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Thank you 😊

There are some amazing accapella groups out there and each of them are crazy talented. However, from a pure craftsmanship perspective.....there is simply no competition. I dont necessarily like every song they do but I do not see how anyone can argue that they are masters (arguably THE masters) of thier craft.

Todrick Hall is a genius when it comes to medleys, mashups, and storytelling. Definitely check out his decades medleys and his Straight Outta Oz album!! And if you want to see his directing/camera work, check out " his quarantine version: "Mask, Gloves, Soap, Scrubs!!"

Who knew you could tell the whole story of OZ in 6 minutes. Loved, loved, loved Mitch as the tin man and the song choice for it!!!

Plzzzzzzz react to "Break my heart" by Pentatonix, you will not regret it😊💟

I Love It! They belong on Broadway. How perfect is that song selection and the casting! They all killed it! 🤗

Check out Kirsten's performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at the 2nd annual "World Dog Awards" to honor and present all the dogs who have played Toto. it's great. or how about Pentatonix' tribute to Tom Hanks..

The casting of each is so perfect and the songs for each. I love Over the rainbow and the next song.

This was so close to making me cry! It was so good

This is one of my favorite videos that Todrick Hall and Pentatonix has done. No matter how many times I have watched it, I still get choked up. Maybe Tara can explain what about this makes you feel deep emotion when the last song starts. lol No matter how many times I watch this, that last part puts me in tears everytime!!!

Loved this so much. I will watch it often. Thank you agaim.

PTX - always amazing. Todrick Hall is next level in terms of imagination, theatrics, talent. His Straight Outta Oz is AMAZING, especially when you watch the videos behind the making of the videos and how fast he put everything together, etc. There is a song in that video called Black and White with Matt, Kirstie and Mitch that is awesome and is guaranteed to get stuck in your head. Keep up the great reactions!

This is simply an amazingly difficult compilation of songs. Thanks for reviewing. It’s been relatively ignored. I love all the intricate harmonies and blends.

Acapop kids and I am telling you is very good! ❤️

Sometimes I get to feeling lonely these days... so I turn your channel on and share/indulge in the love of music with you and it makes the days that much better. Thank you Tara! One of these days I'll figure out how to record myself decently to share! Rick

Todrick Hall is a genious! I love all of his work. I'm going to his concert next year. The first concert I've been to in 20 years! He's just soooo good!

Perfection and class. Adding the homage to the film at the end brought absolute tears to my eyes. As a singer, I notice so much that other reactors miss, but I knew you wouldn’t miss a trick. Thank you 😊 😘

I’m glad the Wizard of Ahhs happened. It is truly something special. I had and still have the same reaction to it as you do, to this day. It has so much creativity, and of course, the beautiful singing. Kirstie is amazing in this. I agree a whole musical of it would be awesome! But the time for that has come and gone probably.

when at 1:26 you said "I'm done freaking out now" I laughed to myself and said "no you're not too much more to come."

Kirstens Music Theater major from college really shows in this. Any one of these people would do wonderful on Broadway.

The tonight show performance of "Helpless" from Hamilton is a must Tara! Phillipa Soo kills it

Nobody: Kirstin: I'm wide awake-

Tara, you are so good with your reviews. I love them all !

Todrick kind of did redo The Wizard of Oz, except with his own original music. It's called Straight Outta Oz and it is incredible!

Another amazing reaction!! And can we take a moment to appreciate how stunning you look? ❤

what a flash back, loved it! I haven't listened to this in so long! I used to listen to it non-stop, the vocal arrangement is truly perfection!

Your reaction was so wonderful yo see. I realize after this amount of time. Comments probably don't matter. But the amount of utter joy was wonderful to see. Thank you I enjoyed it more than I can say.

I just don’t understand how they are soooo gooood

Loved it. Tara, thanks for your comments, on point as usual.

I agree and would love to see this on Broadway

I knew you'd freak out about this performance. My reaction was literally yours the first time I saw this. Loved this reaction Tara. PTX & Todrick Hall are just pure genius with their arranging.

Your are my favorite Vocal Coach Reaction on Utube . I always look for your comments first. Best always

You should watch Todrick's visual albums Forbidden and Straight Outta Oz.

Todrick has a whole series based on WOO. Watch Low by Todrick Hall ft Rupaul. Also Straight Otta Oz which is long. You seem to know Todrick so you know how insanely talented he is

I watched a reaction to this a while ago and they didn’t get the aahs part sounding like oz until they announced it in their intro. It was utterly hilarious. Luckily for the viewers they left that part in there. Great reaction. I always enjoy your reactions/reviews.

This is my favorite reaction of yours Tara. It was so much fun to watch you really get into the video / music. Great job!

I have waited for years for you to react to this song!!! ❤️❤️❤️

They filmed this in my hometown and on my highschool drama departments stage!!! It was seriously the coolest thing ever. We all were in class but knew the pentatonix were on campus hahaha

This would be a Great (extra), before or intermission, for ANY Broadway show!

I never clicked so fast on a video notification 🤣🤣🤣 Love you Queen Tara 👑

You MUST react to their cover of Mad World! It’s a masterpiece!

Yeah this was a performance. And you really felt it all the way through. 👍

Someone probably already mentioned it but Kirsten actually sang a live version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow for 2nd annual "World Dog Awards" to honor and present all the dogs who have played Toto in the Wizard of Oz with the lifetime achievement award. Love her! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J_Y-b27Th1c.html

This has been around for a few years when Avi ( the greatest ) was still in the group . A true Gem 💎 of a performance

Practically every reactor wants a 2hr Broadway play out of this video. Lots of young fans have choreographed their own video to the music. My favorite has a 5 year old in Tony the Tiger pajamas as the Cowardly Lion.

This is a pleasant surprise

Tara, we need more of Todrick... OMG!!! Pleaseeee

Omg I haven't seen this one in a while, still so wonderful

This song never gets old!!

Please react to more of todrick hall he is amazing and I loved your reaction to this video x

I forgot just how much I absolutely loved this medley. Good memories

I loved the last scene, with all the guys giving Kirstie their proud-big-brother looks - a reminder that these people are family to one another. Also, I thought the selection of which lines to sing from "Home," by Phillip Phillips was genius. Just gorgeous.

its incredible what they did with this, they never cease to amaze, these people, all of them, really this is what good is, everything they do, wild how perfect, and awesome they are

Please react to "Husavik (my home town)" from the movie "Eurovision song contest the story of fire saga" sung by Molly Sandén It's such a beautiful song, and I may be a bit bias for saying this (being from Sweden) but Molly is amazing and she really shines in this song

So happy you’re doing this one! It’s so good (of course, lol)!

Yaaay!! Finally this video, i was waiting sooo much for it!! 🤩🤩🤩

Wow I think this is the earliest I’ve ever been for one of your vids, keep up the good work you wonderful lady

Omg yess. I love todricks music

before PTX formed. Kristin was at the University of Oklahoma ,I think that was the college, studying musical theater so something like this is right up her alley.
