They often make a video or a tape of each of their parts and then each one will practice when they can, because they all have lives apart from the group so they've found a compromise to make the practice a little more fluid. Then as time closes in on a recording date they will show up sometimes in two and threes and practice that way. Eventually they will all show up at the same time and make the record.

Listen to their original Run to You. Not one chord is a simple triad. All five-part harmony with no beat boxing. Simply exquisite from beginning to end.
@beverlykrebs4372
@beverlykrebs4372 Год назад
Like every other song they have ever released! But yes, Run to You is just pure enjoyment & shows how talented they are, not just vocally, but creatively. Run to you was a song that was inspired by the song "My Heart With You" which they began covering a couple of years ago. It's so beautiful. I watched them perform this from the 2nd row 2 years in a row, & I can tell you that i held my breath - well I forgot to breathe coz I was so mesmerized!

I love how you commented on how they are all good in lead AND backing, and how different those skills are. I personally think that is one of the major keys to their success, honestly!
@beverlykrebs4372
@beverlykrebs4372 Год назад
I agree! And none of them are greedy for the lead! They love each other like a family, & they make their choices based on what sounds best musically. They all get a time to shine. Sometimes the arrangement calls for one of them to carry the lead thru the whole song, but they give each member one or 2 songs to sing lead on each album they release. They have loads of original music too, and they are genius writers & arrangers, on top of being perfectionists with their vocals. I see them perform 2 hour concerts at least once a year, and they never hit a wrong note, or go even the least bit flat or sharp + they always keep PERFECT rhythm with each other. I suggest you do some double reactions of them performing the same song twice - one official video & one live on stage. I swear you can't tell the difference!

PTX has a mini documentary called Recording Evergreen. It was their 2022 Christmas album & they were nominated for a Grammy Award for it! They arranged & recorded the entire album in 2-3 weeks! Arranging on the fly! The documentary basically shows how they developed the arrangements, who sang what, etc, as they all recorded in the studio together old fashioned style! I think you'd really enjoy it! ❤

Lots to comment on: They did all come together in 2011 for the show Sing Off which was for acapella groups. The Trio ( Scott..tall blond guy, Mitch slim dark-haired guy, and Kirstin ( Kirstie) ..the girl) all knew each other in high school in Texas. They actually formed a group at the time. Went to 1st yr college and decided to enter the contest, but needed 2 more members. Ben Bram ( the groups arranger and sort of 6th member) knew Avi Kaplan and Scott persuaded him to join as their bass singer. They found Kevin Olusola on RU-vid playing cello while beatboxing. They entered and won the competition and except for Avi leaving amicably in 2017 and Matt Sallee ( black guy in white jacket) joining as the new bass in 2018, they've been a tight knit group for some 12 years now. Yes, Scott Hoying takes over bass when Matt sings verse. Scott is a baritone with an impressive range...but then they all have massive vocal ranges. Mitch Grassi is a countertenor and he can hit notes higher than Kirstie, but interestingly, Kevin ( a tenor when he sings...and he does occasionally ) can reach higher notes than all of them. These guys tour LOTS!! Have in fact been touring for almost a year straight right now. How they manage that strain on their voices...I don't know! And yet they have also come up with new Christmas album that's being released in October, I think. Scott got married last month and released a solo album....they just never stop working! If you're interested in a documentary video on how the group arranges, discusses, makes adjustments, record and generally make a CD, then there's a video out called Pentatonix, The Making of Evergreen ( their CD from 2020). It's about 20 minutes long and a fascinating look into their recording process.

Scott Hoying - baritone, 5/6 octaves. Kirstin Maldonado - mezzo soprano with power, Mitch Grassi - natural countertenor , 6 octaves and a tone, Matt Sallee - lyric bass, drummer and Kevin Olusola - tenor, beatboxer, celloboxer, cellist. Avi Kaplan, who left in 2017, - classically trained basso profundo. I would like to suggest that you check out some of their earlier songs and then current ones to hear how they have matured and grown into their voices.

Those close harmonies you were talking about on that "keyless, fretless instrument" are something Pentatonix is known for. Kirstie and Mitch do that frequently, but you hear it with the others too. You're right, if it's not dead on, it would sound like garbage. They nail it, not only in the studio, but in live performances as well.

One of their covers I'm obsessed with is "My Heart With You" by the Rescues. They sing it in five part harmony -- no beatboxing. Kevin actually sings it all the way through. you can hear every one of their voices and the rich chords they choose. It's worth a reaction as it's from a live concert too, so no studio polishing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fcSkFppAFms.htmlfeature=shared

@Sweeney541

I'll try to summarize each band member as quickly as possible. L-R: Matt Sallee: the band's main bass singer, and yes the newest. He joined in late 2017 after the original bass singer Avi Kaplan left because the touring constant work took him away from family too much and he now has a solo career. Matt also has a nice baritone range and can beatbox and play drums Kirstin Maldonardo: mezzo-soprano, but with a wide range. She has also released some solo stuff and been on Broadway Scott Hoying: baritone, but with a very wide range. He covers the bass when Matt or Avi in the past sings lead - but can also sing tenor and has a powerful falsetto too. He's probably also the most versatile in terms of music styles: pop, rock, country, rap, he can pretty much sing it all. Scott has also released some solo stuff - very recently an EP. Also has released an album with the next band member in line - under the name Superfruit. Mitch Grassi: counter tenor, again a very wide vocal range. also has solo stuff under the name Messer, and is the other half of Superfruit. Kevin Olusola: beatboxer, tenor and cello player. As everyone else, he also has solo work - especially his cello-boxing - which is him playing cello and beatboxing at the same time. While PTX is mainly acapella, we do see them use intruments from time to time: Kevin: cello, Matt: drums, Scott: piano. and in the last few years they've started using more production and instruments on their tracks - but they're still mostly acapella.

You should hear them LIVE in concert (or anywhere), so check out their "2016 PopSpring Concert" video which highlights their talent beautifully...it was sponsored by MTV, so the audio and video are terrific !! It only shows 4 of their own songs (15 minutes, but well worth it) !! There is a huge playlist of live performances.

I've been to two of their concerts, the most recent a few weeks ago where I was in the front row. I've also seen pretty much any video existing on the internet of this group, lol! Mitch (the second one who sang) is the most consistent with what and how he sings. It usually sounds exactly like the recording, and it is angelic every time. Scott (the first soloist) sings something different every time almost. He is the riff and run KING, and he just goes with his spirit when he sings. Lately, he's been doing some insane stuff with his falsetto. I love Matt (bass), Kevin (beatboxer), and Kirstin as well. Oh, and in some of those chords, I think Kevin was also singing, so I think it was actually 5-part harmony.

I'm sure people said during the live but you are correct. Matt, on the far left, is the current bass who was added in 2017, when Avi left (the only member change). Scott, in the center, is a baritone with a monster range who covers the baseline when the bass takes a solo (true for both Avi and Matt). Also, they won the 3rd season of The Sing-Off in 2011. The trio of Scott, Mitch and Kirstin - middle three - had been singing together from middle school on (8/10yrs old; they were 19 when on the show), Kevin and Avi were added specifically for the competition (22 and 21).

In this song they switch roles between singing lead and singing harmonies in a pretty straightforward manner, i.e. one singer one long verse. But their "Evolution of ..." videos take this to an insane level. Not to mention their "12 Days of Christmas" arrangement, they're just flexing at that point. The amount of control is crazy.
@margretrosenberg420

Pentatonix won season 3 of _"The Sing-Off,"_ which ran in 2011. Kevin (the beatboxer) does add some of those bell tones you hear in the harmonies, even when he's also beatboxing. Yes, between Kirstie, Mitch, and Kevin it can be hard to tell just who the high harmonies are coming from. Names, from left to right: Matt Sallee (pronounced Suh-lee', emphasis on the second syllable), lyric bass. His range extends through most of a normal tenor range! Kirstin (also known as Kirstie, which rhymes with thirsty) Maldonado sings anywhere from a low alto through coloratura soprano, and she has gorgeous whistle notes on top of that. Scott Hoying, lyric baritone. Scott's range begins somewhere in the middle of a normal bass range and extends through the entirety of a normal tenor range. When the bass has a solo Scott can and does take over the bass harmony line. Mitch Grassi (pronounced Grah'-see, emphasis on the first syllable) natural contratenor. Mitch has a range of just over 6 octaves and switches seamlessly between chest voice, mixed voice, and head voice. All the other members of Pentatonix agree that Mitch has the best voice of any of them. I THINK Mitch is finally starting to believe them. Kevin Olusola (pronounced Oh-loosh"-oh-luh', primary emphasis on the second syllable, secondary emphasis on the fourth syllable), beatboxer extraordinaire. Somewhere there may be a better beatboxer than Kevin, but if so I've never encountered him or her. Kevin is generally too busy being the entire percussion section to sing, but when he does sing he has a lovely tenor voice that occasionally dips into the uppermost reaches of baritone, and he's known for the beauty of his falsetto. He's also a pretty good rapper. Kevin has perfect pitch. He's classically trained on piano, saxophone, and cello. He beatboxes while playing the cello, a technique he calls "celloboxing." He performed at Carnegie Hall twice when he was a teenager, once on saxophone and once on cello. He has a pre-med degree from Yale and had been accepted to Yale Medical School before he decided to become a professional musician instead of a brilliant surgeon. He speaks five languages fluently: English, French, Spanish, German, and Mandarin Chinese. He's one of the kindest people in the world, and when he laughs he makes the whole planet seem like a brighter place.

I think you'd have a great time reacting to it. No need to wait for Christmas!

Crunchy - such a good description. Thanks for choosing Pentatonix. It’s so valuable to have knowledgeable commentary and analysis. I can’t quite tell how familiar you are with them because some of your details were exactly right. The next recommendations would have to be Hallelujah, their Daft Punk medley (first Grammy) and Bohemian Rhapsody so you can get an idea of their versatility. Other songs of note include Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Imagine (official video, please), ‘90s Dance Medley, The Prayer, Mad World and their brand-new original I Rise. Come Along is whimsical, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy won them their second Grammy, O Come All Ye Faithful is a different take on a Christmas classic, and Gold shows what they can do just sitting around in the studio. Honestly, any title you choose will be good. New subscriber in the hope that you will continue with PTX. Peace from Ohio …

I watched a live feed with Mitch (the tenor) a couple of years back and he said that doing an arrangement generally only takes about an hour, simply because they've done it so many times. The five vocalists each work out their own parts, and then the sixth "member" of the group, Ben Bram, puts it all in the computer, cleans up the arrangement and usually acts as the producer when they get it into the studio. Mitch said that one of their favorite places to work on these arrangements is in the tour bus.

Scott is typically the lead vocalist as a bari (with a crazy range). He covers the bass line when the bass vocalist (Matt) is singing lead. Mitch is a high tenor and Kirstin is a soprano. Kevin is the beat boxer but also sings tenor when they're doing 5 part harmony. They all know how to take the lead and shine as well as blending to support the other vocalists. I've followed this group since they competed on and won the 3rd season of the Sing Off (acapella vocal competition show). They found a level of success that other winners haven't because of their ability to create compelling arrangements and covers of current pop songs which they put on You Tube.

I think it really helped that 3 of them were such good friends as they formed the group but the unselfishness always shines through...

One thing to remember is that 3 members have a 5 octave range, I don't know about Kevin, because he doesn't sing that much (I do prefer his normal tenor voice to his falsetto, but what do I know), that leaves Mitch, our boy Mitch (Second singer) has at least a 6.5 octave, and probably more, but he refuses to let others know his true top or bottom note. Part of that is he's afraid he'll hurt his voice, which I can understand. There has only been one personal change that was in 2017, Avi Kaplan the bass singer left for various reasons, and Matt Salee came on board. In order of appearance, Scott Hoying (baritone, covers bass when bass singer is solo-ing), Mitch Grassi (natural born counter tenor I believe his highest note is a B7, yes 7) Matt Salee, (bass but baritone is a second home) KIRstin, (notice the placement of the "I", or Kirsty rhymes with thirsty, Mezzo-Soprano, her super-power is her strong voice and belting abilit), Last but not least Kevin Olusola (the human 808, beatboxer extraordinaire, , Doctor, plays the sax, cello, (has been to Carnigee Hall with both instruments has ability to speak wile beatboxing without missing a beat, discovered by PTX because of his ability to Cello-box beatboxing while playing the cello. You wouldn't think the two went together, but when he starts you can't look away.

Scott is a baritone but when the bass sings solo he fills in the background bass. Matt replaced Avi and he is a bass.

Kudos! I've heard a lot of reactions to this performance, but nobody has ever noticed (much less analyzed) those delicious crunchy dissonant harmonies at key moments in the song. For me, those are the best moments in the performance. The bass is Matt (left), Scott does bass backing when Matt is singing lead but is really a baritone. Mitch is a countertenor, full on. Kirstie is a mezzo, mostly overlapping with Mitch in range. Kevin when he sings mostly does head voice alto range; not sure what his chest voice range is.

3:57 - Speaking of if you're off by just the slightest bit... This is very much what it is like playing the violin. If you are off by even an infinitesimal amount, it is *very* noticeable. So yes indeed, your point is very valid. And they pull this off beautifully, superbly, effortlessly. The harmonization, the dynamics, the phrasing, the arrangement, the quality of their singing voices, the skill they have... Just excellent.

You MUST check out "Love Again" and "Natural Disaster" by these guys. They are their own songs and they are perfect. Hallelujah will have you jaw dropped, Daft Punk melody will make your head spin and Bohemian Rhapsody will touch your soul and a not Pentatonix one, Jinjer - Pisces...I didn't believe it. aaaand Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence

You've heard of Pandora's Box? Well you have done it now. Opened Pentatonix' Box. Lol. (And if you do enough PTX, you will grow your channel quickly). Recommend obscuring the video as we Pentaholics have seen all the videos and honestly, we want to watch your faces. Next moves should be Bohemian Rhapsody, Run to You, Gold (Kiiara cover, listen to hers first), Love Again, The Prayer, Aha Live Star Vista ... just to get started. 😂

Eure Kommentare sind unglaublich kompetent und bringen mir viel Spaß. Pentatonix höre ich schon seit einigen Jahren und jeder !!!! Song ist ein absoluter Hörgenuss - egal ob BOHEMIAN RHAPSODIE oder HALLELUJA, hört einfach mal rein. Aber ich hätte noch einen riesigen Wunsch...... bewertet doch einmal das absolute Ausnahmetalent Dimash Kudaibergen, für mich das größte Stimmwunder aller Zeiten. Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland

White coat is Matt and does the bass. Scott who started the song is baritone but can go higher or lower as needed. The beatboxer is Kevin and he can sing too and play cello. Try this : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IGjg193h4Ok.html

🌟👉OK guys! I'm here for ALL your PENTATONIX and PENTATONIX related reactions! The members are in singing order: Scott Hoying - sings baritone, covers bass when the bass has a lead, hits HIGH falsettos. "Vocal chameleon", Extremely soulful, king of riffs and runs! Mitch Grassi - counter tenor tenor/alto Matt Sallee - bass, baritone, replaced original bass Avi in late 2017. In live concerts he also plays drums. Kirstin Maldonado (Kirstie rhymes with thirsty) sings mezzo soprano, alto. Kevin Olusula (K.O) beatboxer extraordinaire, sings tenor, plays the cello. .......Avi Kaplan (Ah-vee) not in this video, original bass/basso profundo, baritone, overtone. Member from 2011 to end of 2017. Left on good terms. YES! PENTATONIX (PTX) competed on the televised A capella singing competition The Sing Off season 3 in 2011 and WON! They have since become 3 time Grammy winners, Multi Platinum, Star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Worldwide singing SENSATIONS! More PTX😃👍

You may be interested in reacting to La Poem. They are a korean crossover group, have an operatic sound. Kinda remind me of Forestella, but more classic in a way. Their cover of "Rolling in the Deep" is good, as well as "I will be a bird and fly", "Jokes on You" Their original songs are also gorgeous, "Anchor", "The War", " The Fire". There is a video "La Poem Killing Voice", it's a live session there they sang parts of their songs and covers they did.

They won the Sing Off in 2011. Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch were in choir together at Martin High School in Arlington TX. It is a superb music program. They not only learned to sing but how music is structured. Those three formed a trio in high school. Avi and Kevin came in for the Sing Off as they had to have a minimum of five members. They had 24 hours practice before auditioning. It wasn't really a contest and the other contestants seemed to know this. Avi and Kevin jelled immediately to the group.

Pentatonix is one of the few groups that I can say I was around to see their genesis before they blew up and honestly proud does not even begin to cover how they make me feel. I'm sure others have touched on it, but Johnny was right about them winning the show The Sing-Off, which was a show I'd watch from its very beginning. I'd love to see you guys react to some of their arrangements from the show, especially a song like Video Killed a Radio Star which I feel is another song arrangement they did that truly showcases their range (especially Scott's), and Dog Days Are Over (which shows off Mitch's). Thank you as always for the tremendous job you guys do in your analyses, cause as a musician and also fan of a lot of the artists you guys have been reacting to lately, it makes me feel SO happy. Much love!

Love Pentatonix since they entered the music scene! Kristin, Mitch, and Scott are original members! I still have my original Simon & Garfunkel vinyl with this song! You must watch Disturb’s 2015 original black and white video of it. It’s considered the best cover of it! Paul Simon personally contacted the band and let them know they now own the song. Disturbed is known as a heavy metal band, but write and do covers that aren’t metal. You’ll find the lead singer, in his youth David Draiman, was a trained Jewish Canter, as his father and grandfather before him. You find his voice and interpretation of the song mind blowing.

There are two guys that sing bass, but not at the same time. The guy on the far left,the third singer (Matt) is their bass, but when he takes lead line, Scott, the first guy who is the baritone, takes over bass line.
