Pentatonix

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatonix

Just as a quick reference. Search some of their stuff on Youtube and I bet you'll like what you find! My favorites are listed below:

It's really insane how much RAW TALENT is in these singers and their fantastic beatboxer. A capella is notoriously difficult to compose and these people pull it off with aplomb.

The members of the group are Mitch, Scott, Kevin, Avi, and Kirsti.

I did not know this, but apparently "Kevin graduated from Yale, Pre-Med, and also speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese after spending a year studying in China." THE DUDE CAN BEATBOX AND PLAY THE CELLO AT THE SAME TIME AND MEANWHILE HE WAS STUDYING TO BE A DOCTOR IN CHINA AND YALE

Anyway, discuss Pentatonix here. They've recently released a second album which is much-hyped! The entire band just gives me chills - so much talent it hurts, and the way they work together is amazing. I definitely wish I could meet them someday! They make me want to take voice lessons :0

Why is their Forget you/Since you been gone mashup not on here? It's simply the sex.

Here it is.

These guys aren't bad. I don't know why you guys are going crazy over them but whatever floats your boat.

In my unpopular opinion, Pentatonix needs a stronger female voice. While their songs have been amazing so far, they could go so much further if they added another female voice or something... The one girl's voice can be a bit raspy at times, and a small flaw like that can be really noticeable when the rest of the group is male. :P

I used to complain that they needed another girl, but Mitch covers their bases pretty well on the high notes and Kirsti is really good when a female lead is desired.

Besides, if they add someone new they go from being the punny Pentatonix to the possibly undesirable Sexatonix.

Or Hexatonix if you have no sense of humor and wish to stick to the Greek numbers.

I for one would love for them to become Sexatonix.

The reason I like them so much is because I run an acapella group at my high school and one of the common things I do is show them Pentatonix.

Stumbled upon these guys the other day. Incredible. Been playing Aha! and their Daft Punk compilation for days.

They're good, but most of the stuff they do is managed by the studio. Their engineer is fucking fantastic, he/they deserves most of the credit here.

I dunno if I agree with that. The albums produced after their reality show win are clearly more worked on - you can tell because they really bring out their bassist. If you watch the live performances, though, I'd think you'd see that you're wrong there. They manage to do a hell of a whole lot with just five people all things considered.
