Is that not legit? Are they using lip-syncing or effects to fake it?
I really wanted to like these guys when I stumbled across them earlier. Anything that isn't the twerking low IQ mainstream crap we get to today, gets bonus points from me.
Those are the original five people, which is what he's talking about. Their bass and percussionist both left to pursue solo careers and the other three were never really all that great to begin with but you didn't notice it because the foundation was so perfect. Now their bass and percussionist are just decent and it highlights how not exceptional the other three are.
Although I will give them credit where it's due, their arrangements are incredible.
Home Free is better though, especially since they got rid of their mediocre baritone and added a second bass. They are able to do things now that are really outstanding, frequently better than the original.
I'm more familiar with Home Free than I am with Pentatonix.
"They are able to do things now that are really outstanding"
I'm still skeptical about the guy who plays the invisible harmonica... Man Of Constant Sorrow for instance. How?
I honestly just like anything with strong vocals. Don't care if that's The Beach Boys or Bone Thugs. I guess I discovered Pentatonix late because the group in this video are the only members I've seen.
It can be done easily. Well, not easily, but with practice you could probably accomplish it. You'd have to be able to hit higher notes to do man of constant sorrow, but it can be learned.
Start with a trumpet tone and progress. Formation of your hands is key to the harmonics sound.
Ever taken a piece of grass between your thumbs and made a whistle? Same technique.
I'm still skeptical about the guy who plays the invisible harmonica... Man Of Constant Sorrow for instance. How?
It's actually not that difficult to do. You use your hands to create a resonance chamber in front of your mouth and you can make some pretty interesting sounds. They do use some production filters to make it sound more like a harmonica, and they use them on other songs for different purposes as well, but overall they can pretty much recreate their sound outside of a production studio as long as they have microphones.
You got something mixed up. The bass and "percussionist" that left them was one guy, Avi Kaplan. The other four of them are the same from the beginning.
No, their percussionist was a dude named Kevin Olusola and he also left to pursue a solo career under the name "KO". His stuff is OK (HAHA) except for an arrangement he did of True Colors, which is really quite nice. It's overly produced, but that's intentional and it's one of the best arrangements I've heard of the song.
I got introduced to the band by a friend and even they were saying that the band just wasn’t the same after he left.i only listen to their old works but now I might not even do that.
Oh haha. No I’m insulting the people singing , can’t imagine what goes through a persons mind when doing something so ridiculous as singing a song about getting a booster clot shot
I haven’t heard that one yet, so I can’t say. I just know he was a white guy, long hair and he usually had corn rows or braids from what I remember. He was in their Hallelujah cover.
They might not even be woke, they probably aren’t frankly. They probably just got pressured to do that BS and thought it was fairly benign. Everything isn’t as black and white as the hardliners make it out to be.
Scott Presler is gay and he's more MAGA than anybody here. I don't care about his sexual orientation or yours. Content of character matters.
I don't know Avi and Kevin, but it feels like I saw this group do something years ago and it's the same group. IIRC it was their Daft Punk medley that introduced me. How far back are you talking about? If they were better before that I'd love to see an example.
Presler has done more for America than you and your entire family tree combined. Right?
I'm not a reactionary libtwit buddy. You can whine about non sequiturs. He's cleaning up ghettos and moving mountains to organize people to take over school boards and local governments and to vote.
What have you done? Again, you can explain that you like vagina, I do too, but, what have you done that I should trade him for you because of your sexual orientation? Serious question. Can you be better than a libtwit and answer the question?
Everything is a political. Every piece of art is pushing a world view. Nothing is neutral. Either an artist is pushing the truth, or they are pushing a lie, and that stuff gets inside of you.
You're preaching to the choir sir... I have explained the same sentiment over and over.
Polanski drugs and rapes little children, and his films are some of the greatest ever made. I understand you have to be able to compartmentalize and differentiate. And I won't deny myself listening to whatever I want to listen to, or watching whatever movie I want to watch.
If we denied ourselves access to art that was made by terrible broken people, we'd lose a lot. Criticizing them for promoting the CCP vaccine, doesn't mean I care what they think or I'll stop enjoying the music that I like to listen to.
Dude kills it! When i first heard the sing c my 4 yr old loves the song and sings the original everywhere we go lol yes ppl love it lol i heard dude beat box and i said “yo is this guy fuckin beat boxin?!?! Wtf lol”
They are good, but I think the bass dude is pro vax too. I saw a tweet from him about it. Plus, they also did a song about quarantine and, while it was cheeky, it smacked more of pro narrative than hinting about how it was stupid.
Thank you for introducing me to these guys! PTX has long been my favorite group and this news bothered me so much. I love A Capella music and Home Free is a wonderful replacement for PTX.
Was gonna go for mum’s bday. Venue requires jab card or negative test result. Told mum we cant go because we give an inch, they take a mile, and the bullshit has to stop somewhere. AND THEN I READ THIS? I thought it was just the venue, but now i see these clowns are in cahoots. Might as well call me Neo cuz I dodged that bullet.
See, this is exactly why I know you assholes are just being disingenuous. What do crime stats have to do with equating black humans to chimps?
I state the crime stats myself but not from a place of hate. You assholes come here and equate a soy boy black a capella singer with black criminals. The guy is a sad loser, making a few coins from our LGB "president" He's literally just a sad fuck... but "we hate black people" so, let's equate him to a chimp and start talking about irrelevant crime stats.
...fuck, stop being a low grade idiot and just leave him alone.
The vast majority of blacks overwhelmingly despise Whites for simply being White, and we're still scared of 'the R word'. They literally grow up being told word-of-mouth stories about how Whites are subhuman devils who need to be wiped out. It's the genuine fucking foundational belief of the Nation of Islam that Whites were the result of a scientific experiment to breed demons.
A fucking study just came out a few weeks ago that shows black jurors are incredibly biased, and would recommend effectively no sentences and always find a defendant not-guilty if they're black, while finding Whites guilty every time and wanting extreme sentences. And we're still scared of 'the R word'.
These dumb pricks don't even understand how a justice system works, they understand random acts of street violence and necklacing. There's a reason the 'birthplace of humanity' NEVER ONCE created a society that didn't revolve around a tyrant murdering everyone.
If these fucking Urak-Hai want to live in Orc society, then I'm happy to treat them exactly how they act, think, speak, and believe. They literally cannot speak English - in fact, they actively refuse to do so. They're worse than illegals, because at least we can deport illegals. What fucking good are they in our society, really? What, is peanut butter really that valuable?
I do. I hate every black criminal, every white criminal, every useless politician, every coward police officer and every idiot commenter on TheDonald that flood our great site with useless provocation. So, congrats. I hate you
Have you ever been on a ranch? Blacks spit. Whites spit, latinos spit. Old men spit. Old eastern European women spit. What the hell is your damn point?
What animal should we compare other people who spit to?
You don't need to ascii dodge any filters. You're allowed to display your sockpuppet retardation here.
But, very few people are going to be fooled by your low IQ libtwit trolling. You need to have at least half a brain to be able to make it at least slightly subtle. Just ranting retard racial slurs with nothing real to offer makes it too obvious that you're a pathetic loser SJW tool with no brain.
Bowie F'd Mick Jagger. Brando F'd Richard Pryor... Cary Grant was "roommates" with Randolph Scott. You don't even want to know about Michael Jackson... The list goes on and on, lots of your heroes were gayer than Obama.
Do yourself a favor and don't worry about who the artist has sex with.
I respected Pentatonix because they would actually sing Christmas hymns. But then they go sing for Satan ... Can't imagine that would have sang if it was Orange Man in the white house.
They spend our money on shit like this, and then want us to go along with their spending bills...this is a master class in how not to represent the public or to lead on policy.
Never liked cover bands that do not play original music, unless it is at live at a bar or something. These guys are just Phonies that use high tech equipment.
"I’m 100% pro boosters and vaccines, but this is garbage. It’s not a marketing ploy or some promotion, it’s for your health. Leave this to the doctors."
"how ironic that you realize what it is but still can't see it"
Was going to get my daughters tickets to Pentatonix in Columbus for their Christmas show December 12th. I didn’t. Good dad.
Home Free is just as good.
Home Free is faaaaarrrrrrr better than these faggots
I'm not an expert so I could be completely wrong...

Try this one on for size:

Oh and FYI that guy singing at the very beginning is their low bass. Dude has about four octaves. He's insane.
I'm more familiar with Home Free than I am with Pentatonix.

Watching this video, the men have voices too high for people with a pair of testicles. I think one guy at the end had a voice that was deep enough.
That is one of my favorite songs, they did it great justice. I'm a shitty karaoke enthusiast when drunk and I love singing hallelujah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvN5e4PzZYE
If you liked that, check out Kurt Nilsen's cover of The Dance. The Garth Brooks ballad. It's top shelf, epic, fantastic singing.
Apparently when Norwegian vocalists learn English, they have a natural country/western accent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJNnGk2EK0M
One of my favorites.
That is fantastic, wow.
I got introduced to the band by a friend and even they were saying that the band just wasn’t the same after he left.i only listen to their old works but now I might not even do that.
Can you imagine being this fucking gay ?
What's wrong with that? Talent is talent. I'm a heavyweight kickboxer and I can appreciate good vocals and singing.
I mean , a group of people standing up there and sing a song that they know is bullshit all in the name of a paycheck or a good ol virtue signaling
I can’t tell you if you were insulting me or the group...
Oh haha. No I’m insulting the people singing , can’t imagine what goes through a persons mind when doing something so ridiculous as singing a song about getting a booster clot shot
Is the guy who left part of The Little Drummer Boy version they did?
I haven’t heard that one yet, so I can’t say. I just know he was a white guy, long hair and he usually had corn rows or braids from what I remember. He was in their Hallelujah cover.
The rhythm guy is still there - the black dude on the left. He's a pretty incredible cellist two - does this thing called Cello-boxing.
He's also prob the only straight guy left after the other bass singer left
I am not a choir nerd, but I think Pentatonix version of Little Drummer Boy was the best Christmas song ever.
We played it a dozen times on our boat at the Christmas boat parade last weekend.
I'm not shocked that they're woke, but they don't suck.
They might not even be woke, they probably aren’t frankly. They probably just got pressured to do that BS and thought it was fairly benign. Everything isn’t as black and white as the hardliners make it out to be.
That's reasonable, but we are approaching the day where the hardliners are going to be right.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WELL DONE FREN!!
Objectively, Pentatonix is incredible. If you like acapella... It was so disappointing to see this video.
Now I'm worried Home Free will turn out to be pitiful Austin hipster cucks.
Cuckatonix are trash. End of story
lol TY
Apparently you think I'm a retard sitting in the audience for a recording of The View.
I dont but i respect your honesty coming clean lol. Good for you!!
Try reading more slowly friend.
Just stop it's all gay
Scott Presler is gay and he's more MAGA than anybody here. I don't care about his sexual orientation or yours. Content of character matters.
I don't know Avi and Kevin, but it feels like I saw this group do something years ago and it's the same group. IIRC it was their Daft Punk medley that introduced me. How far back are you talking about? If they were better before that I'd love to see an example.
Content of character also includes lifestyle choices. Homosexuality is perverse and immoral.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Presler has done more for America than you and your entire family tree combined. Right?
I'm not a reactionary libtwit buddy. You can whine about non sequiturs. He's cleaning up ghettos and moving mountains to organize people to take over school boards and local governments and to vote.
What have you done? Again, you can explain that you like vagina, I do too, but, what have you done that I should trade him for you because of your sexual orientation? Serious question. Can you be better than a libtwit and answer the question?
That’s correct lol
Stop caring what entertainers think and just enjoy their entertainment.
And if you don't, then just stop listening. There's no reason to turn it all into a political stand.
Everything is a political. Every piece of art is pushing a world view. Nothing is neutral. Either an artist is pushing the truth, or they are pushing a lie, and that stuff gets inside of you.
You're preaching to the choir sir... I have explained the same sentiment over and over.
Polanski drugs and rapes little children, and his films are some of the greatest ever made. I understand you have to be able to compartmentalize and differentiate. And I won't deny myself listening to whatever I want to listen to, or watching whatever movie I want to watch.
If we denied ourselves access to art that was made by terrible broken people, we'd lose a lot. Criticizing them for promoting the CCP vaccine, doesn't mean I care what they think or I'll stop enjoying the music that I like to listen to.
Yeah how about no.
You must have been trying to reply to someone else.
I haven't paid for music or movies in more than a decade.
(waves his hook hand and peg leg)
These guys should be worried when someone takes them up on the roof.
The first time I heard Home Free, I was blown away. The Beat Boxer is amazing.
Lol u heard him beat box on “God Bless The USA” when they covered it with the OG Lee Greenwood? I recommend giving that a listen lol
Fo sho bro.
Dude kills it! When i first heard the sing c my 4 yr old loves the song and sings the original everywhere we go lol yes ppl love it lol i heard dude beat box and i said “yo is this guy fuckin beat boxin?!?! Wtf lol”
If you haven't already done so, you should watch some of the reaction videos people post.
This really is the definition of gay.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣OHHHH YEAA!!! All kinds of gay goin on in this vid lol
They are good, but I think the bass dude is pro vax too. I saw a tweet from him about it. Plus, they also did a song about quarantine and, while it was cheeky, it smacked more of pro narrative than hinting about how it was stupid.
I thought it was hilarious.
Home Free - Quarantine
Never heard of them until your comment - thanks!
They crushed Brothers in Arms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ChD2WjD2tY
Thank you for introducing me to these guys! PTX has long been my favorite group and this news bothered me so much. I love A Capella music and Home Free is a wonderful replacement for PTX.
You are welcome.
Was gonna go for mum’s bday. Venue requires jab card or negative test result. Told mum we cant go because we give an inch, they take a mile, and the bullshit has to stop somewhere. AND THEN I READ THIS? I thought it was just the venue, but now i see these clowns are in cahoots. Might as well call me Neo cuz I dodged that bullet.
Start boycott cracker barrel
Please don't say cracker. That's racist.
They are a bunch of soy cucks by the looks of it.
That's some serious cringe right there.
Some showbiz people are essentially prostitutes, they see cringe as a worthy exchange for some money.
Pretty sure most people in the entertainment industry will do literally anything for money.
Out of a country of 300,000,000+ people… this video got less than 4000 likes on twatter. Half of which are probably staff and bots…
I don't know why the white apologists are downvoting you. You weren't wrong
Edit: I love free speech. Keep down voting you cucked faggots
Bc what he said was disgusting and you know it.
Reeeeee
See, this is exactly why I know you assholes are just being disingenuous. What do crime stats have to do with equating black humans to chimps?

...fuck, stop being a low grade idiot and just leave him alone.
I am not sure it is that high. Seriously.
This guy is LITERALLY singing a cappella. His only, apparent crime, to you and asshole #1, is singing like a douche...oh, and of course being black.
Being black is a crime now.
You're part of that low IQ group on the right the rest of us have to fight against. Low energy. Low IQ.
The vast majority of blacks overwhelmingly despise Whites for simply being White, and we're still scared of 'the R word'.

You should hate those who drag your society down every chance they get... which is every moment of every day
I do. I hate every black criminal, every white criminal, every useless politician, every coward police officer and every idiot commenter on TheDonald that flood our great site with useless provocation. So, congrats. I hate you
Solid argument, loser
All lives spits. That or they swallow.
Have you ever been on a ranch? Blacks spit. Whites spit, latinos spit. Old men spit. Old eastern European women spit. What the hell is your damn point?
What animal should we compare other people who spit to?
These losers are no better than the other side with their dividing bullshit.
Each side has their idiots. These guys aren't even coherent.
"Hurhurhur....black guy.... let's call him a chimp! Me so smart and clever".
"Oh, you didn't like that I called him a chimp? ??? Then you're a white aPoLoGIst!!! Hurhurhurhrurrrrr"
Complete troglodytes.
His momma didn't, heh heh, if you get my drift. HEYOOO!
There's nothing wrong with being white. There's plenty wrong with being racist. Comparing black people to chimps just for being black is racist.
You're not being brigaded Don Lemmon, people are just seeing through your transparently stupid libtwit sockpuppet troll nonsense.
They called in the moderm day Marines to downvote your ass...mmhhhm.
Will do!
Go away Juicy Smollet.
You don't need to ascii dodge any filters. You're allowed to display your sockpuppet retardation here.
But, very few people are going to be fooled by your low IQ libtwit trolling. You need to have at least half a brain to be able to make it at least slightly subtle. Just ranting retard racial slurs with nothing real to offer makes it too obvious that you're a pathetic loser SJW tool with no brain.
Go away Rachael Maddow.
It sucks that they have to do that to manage pathetic libtwit race grifters coming here trying to cast a bad light on the rest of us.
Ben Carson is worth a million of you. Just an FYI.
They're all a bunch of fags
Don't be cruel, the vaccine making their balls drop off was punishment enough. The ladies' balls too.
That was a honk too far.
gay music. my wife puts it on sometimes. Concure, they are all FAGS
Bowie F'd Mick Jagger. Brando F'd Richard Pryor... Cary Grant was "roommates" with Randolph Scott. You don't even want to know about Michael Jackson... The list goes on and on, lots of your heroes were gayer than Obama.
Do yourself a favor and don't worry about who the artist has sex with.
Well one of them is for sure
Now that is just weird...
Yeah wtf
Ironic they counted to Four.
3 shots is all you need right?
You think this ends, ever? No, these shots will go on forever, for the money and for the NWO plan for trans humans.
These bastards are insane and they are all in on this, they won't stop until and unless they are stopped.
This is so cringe worthy. At least we still have the Acapella group Home Free. Check them out if you have not already done so.
This shit should creep out anyone with half-a-brain. Reminds me of when Biden does his whisper talk (among many other things), very demented.
They should replace the short white guy with an Asian in a wheelchair. Then they'd be hella diverse!
That's their token twink though...
I always knew there was something shady about Pentatonix especially with that one dude who can’t make up his mind on what to look like.
Cringe worthy
Almost as bad as that one Colbert clip. You know which one.
Brought to you by Pfizer
Yeah, I like the new messaging, like they will finally just leave me alone 🤣
Damn, that's super gay.
Go fuck yourself.
why are none of them wearing their masks
We must all hurry up and get our clot shots because a group of faggots and diversity hires told us to!
I'm not stupid enough to listen to them, but I did however get the shot after Big bird got his
Got mine when Biden set up this really weird fake-Whitehouse stage to get his booster in front of the press.
Every republican girl just got a dry noonoo
Republican women don't exist.
Hey, look... commercialized sockpuppets shilling for hire!
How many of them are pedophiles?
I respected Pentatonix because they would actually sing Christmas hymns. But then they go sing for Satan ... Can't imagine that would have sang if it was Orange Man in the white house.
Oh well. F 'em.
... What the fuck was that?
My tax dollars paid for that?!
Someone slap a Brazzers logo on that picture. Looks like the joggers are about to run a train on that hoe with the soycuck watching.
That fuckin broad looks like a God damn Muppet!
SHUT UP FAGGOTS!!!
Cuntacocklicks
Fags
That sucks because I used to like PTX. .
Well guess I'll put them in the trash with the rest
When Avi left it just became super homosexual.

I fucking hate this timeline
Me too brotha

Anyone who is finally convinced by this "performance" to get a COVID vaccine should go get one. They deserve the side effects. All of them.
No masks?! Wtf! Don’t they know we’re in a deadly pandemic?!
That's deeply disappointing. Really enjoyed their music. Never again.
Straight to my .win "cringe" folder witcha!
folder creation inspired by Stephen Colbert
That is one of the most faggyest shit I've ever seen.
They spend our money on shit like this, and then want us to go along with their spending bills...this is a master class in how not to represent the public or to lead on policy.
We are being punked.
Who??
Never liked cover bands that do not play original music, unless it is at live at a bar or something. These guys are just Phonies that use high tech equipment.
A cappella groups are lazy and gay to begin with.
Ski ba bop ba dop bop
The cringe level on this one is off the charts
They should make up a song asking why the WH staff isn’t required to get injections.
Peak cringe
that right there is my hell
As if I needed more reasons to hate this faggot ass group.
Lmao the dumb fuck wearing a jacket way to large looks like a child trying to dress like an adult.
Saw Potato was hanging out with the Jonas Brothers today... Thought they might be a little old for him now
Great replies in the thread:
Literally who?
Ditto
Wonder how much they pay these shills, per Kill?
No no no, no means no, bidet is not my President 🎹
You may not be able to shout that from the rooftop of the White house, but with any luck soon enough we'll be throwing your commie asses off of it.
Am I the only one bothered by the way the girl stands with her legs spread apart?
Thanks, I hate you now for making watch it a second time to check.
I am proud to say that I don't know a single one of these faggots.
