[DancingArtDogs]

[Rockatone]

this was the performance when all the other groups knew they were definitely gonna lose..

[monquiaz]

@Rockatone yeah ur right!

[ktsbucks1]

favorite part- 2:43 <3 PENTATONIX!! (:

[jphilipgardner7]

GAH, I have to be up for work in 7 hours but I just can't stop.

[bobwhiz]

37 people are dead radio stars.

[dmspear21]

love the "we're not worthy" at 3:24... nope, no you are not lol

[Ravok5]

2:37 was epic.

[Ravok5]

@Ravok5 and at 3:00 the contest officially ended.

[RaistlianMajerie]

THEIR BEATBOXER IS A FUCKING GODDDD!!

[kobjai]

Avi remind me of Joey in Nsync

[The3lse]

Why is this a guilty pleasure? I would listen to this whenever.

[tp22clt]

@The3lse haha so rolling through the 'hood with thugs on either side you would just crank this on MAX? :)

[Ravok5]

@tp22clt I think I'd risk it...

[bjj714]

OMG Mitch is so cute I just wanna squeeze him to death!!!

[bjj714]

@bjj714 I agree ;)

[dignature123]

My favorite part is when they walk down the stairs like G's! cuz they are...and we love u for it :)

[jewbowl225]

anybody esle notice how uncumfortably tight Mitch's outfit was?

[pigsqueek]

this is EPIC

[kellyshairman2010]

so in the beginning of the video Ben never told them that the appeal of the song was abandoned and they really didnt get that bad of comments for your love is my drug..... gotta love editors.

[jtim83]

you can really hear avi when you put your headphones on.Avi is a beast!

[soUnbarbie]

@jtim83 oh wow! You can hear him! Avi rocks!

[delilahrules343]

that was so awesome i love the part when they make them selves skip!

[marcustayble]

Oh how this brings me back to GTA Vice City days...

[samfrikinrocks]

Just stopping by... getting my fix.

[AnnalynAlexis]

Okay. This is my new favorite singing group. My dad and I listened to all of their performances from the show on here, and I'm listening to this one for a third time. They're fun, they're talented, and everything else good thrown in there.

[likestocomment1]

this is my favorite of all there performances...

[JordansLovelyLife]

2:23 killed it!!!!!

[relliminad]

That song was written to have Pentatonix do a cover of it. Jesus, that was good.

[towelboi123]

Eargasm..

[Bouncingwolf]

OMG!! I luv this! it is so sick how avi and kevin nailed it! I luved when they skipped and how they changed songs for themselves but also for their buddies Sonos! Thumbs up if u agree with me!

[kcmabi]

You can hear Avi much better with earphones!

[DC11961]

Holy sh*t!!! Scott is singing an F that is two octaves higher than middle C! O.O That man's lungs...

[guiriquita]

I kinda hated the song when sung by other groups, but they made it bearable for me.

[AMGwtfBBQsauce]

@guiriquita

Bearable? The original was okay imo, but this rendition was faaaaaaar beyond bearable. More like UNBELIEVABLE! :D

[guiriquita]

@AMGwtfBBQsauce it means I still don't like the song (at least not my favorite) but I could listen to it when Pentatonix sing.

[kvprogolfer]

tbay581, the original song is kinda blah and monotone and it doesn't like jump out and catch you in any part of the song....but this one kicks ass and its awesome and exciting and catchy and it still sounds like the original. Pentatonix is the best Acapella group I have ever heard!

[powerstrokealexb8558]

The first time I ever heard this song was on grand theft auto

[harryhancock16]

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!! They are great



[tbay581]

Well, this is an awful version.

[AKABoondock19]

@tbay581 a lot of people think its a GREAT version =)

[lisat4477]

I couldn't care less about any of their orientations...the skill is there and it's amazing!

[fungirlsful]

kool

[grecoj2]

thumbs up if you're still listening to this in 2033

[genesis17ize]

@grecoj2 Don't really understand but i'll thumbs u up anyways :)

[grecoj2]

@genesis17ize watch Shawn's critique after the song :)

[alexeidarling]

So I can now do the whole dance along with them. Yes

[TheMr1man]

@MrMcBez I honestly don't see how this has anything to do with the music anyway >.< Why does it really matter? lol

[DudeintoMatureMen]

cont ... Your performances on the The Sing Off inspired me to take what I do well and work harder to be all that I can be (corny as that sounds). Thank you !

[DudeintoMatureMen]

Regardless of Scott's sexual orientation, he is amazing. The entire group showed that young adults can arrange songs with the best of em'. For real ... Dog Days is the perfect example of how strong these artists are. Pentatonix ... You guys

[ice111110]

say hi to Kenzie and Kiara 4 me Scott

[limjieyiemily]

You guys are AWESOME ! 3 ^^ xoxo

[jessicaduh100011]

This song is on Just Dance 3 :)

[TheaterChick007]

@jessicaduh100011 and it is no where near as good as Pentatonix does it. Everytime i play it, i go "Pentatonix does this 100% better"

[MrMcBez]

I don't care that Scott has a girlfriend. He is gay. I have know about plenty of married men with kids who liked boys. He's gay, no doubt.

[SuperSoccerguy23]

@MrMcBez He isn't gay. You just probably think that because of the earings. Judgemental. I see. You are just sad that scott has a girlfriend. What do you want to do marry him. He is not gay, no doubt.

[MrMcBez]

@SuperSoccerguy23 Dude, I am totally not gay at all. I just don't believe that a guy who acts and talks the way he is - is not gay. Not possible. He is a closet homo. End of story. I've seen and worked with too many to be wrong. I really don't care. Just making an observation.

[SuperSoccerguy23]

@MrMcBez Well your observation is wrong. Scott is clearly not gay at all.

[jphilipgardner7]

for once in a music competition the right person won.

[randominthewindow]

They're freaking amazing. :D

[DC11961]

@ThechosenDemon You my friend, need to go to a music school, and be properly educated in music. I respect your not liking it because of difference in musical tastes, but cussing them out is REALLY immature. -.- Probably not even a musician. And if you are, you're a disgrace to the musical community.

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Mitch is the go-to guy when they want that smooth legato. And how cute is the choreography?

[erineliz89]

This was definitely the turning point that kept them on the winning track.

[rachelbdot]

2:36 is the greatest part of the video

[jkhaleel]

Pretty sure everyone else in the competition knew they were beat lol...

[TopdollarStudio]

26 people are people who disliked this video.

[iLoveMusicQ8]

one word, CRAAZZYYY

[MrPater111]

verry good upload tank you

[chitwn9891]

i think tanner? from vocal point is a better beatboxer per se, but kevin kills on effects, and him and avi make for a better pair.

[ThechosenDemon]

These tools butchered a song and turned it into fucking crap

[Abc123Music234]

I LOVE PENTATONIX!

[skeeterdc]

I love seeing all the other groups jamming to the song!

[fsinghy]

3:45 Avi's looking so giddy and adorable, like "Teehee, here comes the praise!"

[tickledtlady]

Kevin's little doodoodooodooolll! Love it! It always makes me smile :)!

[MrMcBez]

That's definitely the week where they whooped that candy ass. Good job Penatotnix. This performance was dope.

[rednblak06]

scott sounds like daniel merriweather.

[LiveSoccerLiveMusic]

anyone else notice how all of the other groups go insane when they hit the high note at 3:00

[TeeneeJS]

@LiveSoccerLiveMusic That is because Scott is singing the falsetto (the highest note in that chord too!)

[CsCream3]

Mitch kind of sounds like michael buble

[chitwn9891]

i kinda wish they did believe... now i want to here them do it.

[xoErinJM]

Can't get it out of my head like a day or two later Xd

[bobocydis]

so glad they didnt do the other song.

[MrMcBez]

Scott is so gay, it's not even funny. Don't care, just pointing out the obvious - he's a beast.

[overdosechillpill]

@MrMcBez Mich too, he's uber fab.

[MrMrdrey32192]

replay button 1:35 your welcome

[MrKingblablabla]

love this song! who agrees?

[light1hayate]

I'm so happy they won :) <3

[xoErinJM]

Absolutely love it :D :D

[763chaos]

Avi is amazing... they've got no baritone, and yet he's jumping around about 2 octaves covering everything!

[supersingerevan]

Pretty sure this is the song when everyone realized the contest was over. :)

[dandj98]

this video is awsome.

[ishallcallhersquishy]

@gabzlovegood Bass. All the ridiculously reverberating low stuff

[gabzlovegood]

what does the dude with the beard sing?

[PandoraWoozle]

@gabzlovegood He's their awesome bass!

[Samantha2334]

@gabzlovegood f you can't hear him, I suggest putting on headphones. Computer speakers usually don't cover him

[bananaforever101]

better than the original

[sweetabsurdity]

3:06 Kirstie caught herself from stepping on Scott's foot... Good save!

[PotterMarauder]

i loved them from the beginning

[PotterMarauder]

i loved them from the beginning

[koalapuppet101]

ok, im in chorus @ my school and we did a listing assignment on this(we litned 2 all 3 versions) and of course we all <3 the sing off so we went crazy with this. this was, like 3 months ago. in the middle of music appreciation, (another class which is chorus dominated) we'll all randomly break out singing this. to this day. =) oh, i love this song.

[TakingChances278]

I love this so much. Also, everyone in Pentatonix is so special and adorableee! ^_^

[ChelexBebop]

I've watched every single group and nothing even comes close to comparing to Pentatonix. They're simply brilliant. CRAZY vocals. They're amazing.

[TheQudsi123]

24 people are:

-Ancient

-The Video That killed the Radio Star

-Injured Radios

[rodeowhopper]

@TheQudsi123 you forgot potatos

[frigginawsome3]

the show should have ended after this episode

i mean who could top that?

[PandoraWoozle]

@frigginawsome3 Pentatonix did! They kept outdoing themselves the entire season! :D

[SuperPoe13]

MIZTCH!!!!



[hadesboom]

You are absolutely right! I stand corrected!

[skate4everandthensum]

ha, that was cool. And 0:31 was to.

[breakingsouthkorea]

i get goosebumps everytime i watch this!

[tp22clt]

Mitch and Kiritie's voices make a real clean and pure sound.

[addictedtovids77]

That trill that Kevin makes me smile every time!

[skullscored1]

LikeIfYoureFromArlington<3

The majority of the group went to my school:3

[kaldrenon]

So basically, when Avi comes in on this song is when Pentatonix won the Sing-Off.

[hadesboom]

This is where they went from awesome to EPIC and changed a capella forever.

[xxVAMPBABExx91]

@hadesboom they changed a capella from the moment they walked onto the sing off!

[CaleighKB]

flawless. <3

[SalsaShark77]

If there's any doubt as to how killer of a version this is, check out the YouTube video "Pentatonix taking it to the street." It's sick how good they are even when recorded with ONE off-the-shelf handcam.

[scgirl317]

This, IMO, is where they won. The rest of the season was just a formality. The only performance that tops this is Dog Days.

[bananachic11]

i saw the first 10 seconds of the performance and was like "yup. they already got this down." lol wow guys you freakin rock INCREDIBLY.

[HandballGal]

i was rooting for dartmouth airs, but i wasn't too disappointed when pentatonix won. :)

[nicpey]

i want to buy their christmas cd

[kakura123]

I could listen to this song forever.

When Mitch came in and kevin did his whole... Sound thing, I fell out of my chair, and was all, "YOU INSANE BEASTS!"

I am a mega fan! Love you guys! Congrats on winning! You so deserved it!

[jisforjenn]

i wanna hear what their version of life after love would have sounded like!!!

[DericaB]

THIS....IS...FREAKIN'...AWWEES­SSOOMMMEEE!!!

[nicpey]

thank you for saving accupella!

[RodeoLuv16]

Scott should always wear those glasses they are effing sexy!

[derekderock34]

kevin is probably the reason why i like them most i like all of them dont get me wrong there all awesome but kevin is a BOSS

[bkcummi]

sick!!!!!!!!!

[emmieluvsu18]

Best preformance eva

[willnel2000]

1:38 for the good part..

[HappiSmiley]

Mitch is amazingly adorable.



[GREEEENDAYYYYY]

i like Avi's belt thingy ^.^......

[thegleekykid]

My top 5 Pentatonix performances in order; 1) Video Killed the Radio Star, 2) Let's Get It On, 3) Love Lockdown, 4) Born to To Be Wild, 5) OMG.

[unusuallynormal231]

STAAAAAR -digudigu- STAAAAAR

-digudigu- STAAAAAAAAAR

[gbwhat10]

am i the only one who liked " your love is my drug"?

[kaldrenon]

@gbwhat10 No you are not. I was amazed the first time I watched the judge commentary for that song, I thought it was even better than E.T. and infinitely better than the original. They shouldn't have been criticized for fixing it.

[EdoBigFish]

@gbwhat10 You're not alone, my firend.

[captainlorenzo07]

@gbwhat10 NO YOU'RE NOT! I thought it was way better than the original and i disagree with the judges completely

[PandoraWoozle]

@gbwhat10 Definitely NOT...I LOVED that and even tho I respect Ben Folds, I think he was 100% wrong on this. They made that song accessible to ME, a 59 yr old woman who would NEVER have listened to the original. They are amazing

[MsKammie63]

@PandoraWoozle I totally agree w/you! I loved that one and all the others as well,he was wrong,they also made me like songs that I probably would have never listened to otherwise and this from a 48yr old and w/their unique vocal sound,the crazy beat boxing the strong bass,the song choices and genus arrangements they have made Aapella hip and accessible to the young generation and in doing this they have brought it into the mainstream OMG! have they started a NEW THING,they are AMAZING! talents.

[dallairejd]

2:45 I fell in love with Mitch; look at how beautiful his smile and eyes are.

[littledemonplusher]

best group ever!!

[456sarahgee]

first time i heard this i knew i love them

[beastieboggs20]

I love all their songs. Here is my fav in order from greatest to least: et, love lockdown, dog days are over, since you've been gone/forget you( amazing base and beat box battle), omg, born to be wild, video killed the radio star, your love is my drugs, Britney spears medley, let's get it on. so amazing!

[bananaforever101]

[BrookieVideos]
