  • I lobe this one two

  • lol Pentatonix favorited this even tho mrduckbear sometimes doesn't give them the greatest reviews. I'll admit this song wasn't their best tho...

  • ok, so I watched all of their other stuff, and avoided watching this video because they said how this was their bad song/ the judges kind of laid it on them...

    ....

    really? that was their BAD song?!

  • @katennan If you compare the actual comments with the preview clips from their other stuff, you can see the producers edited it to make it look like Folds was seriously criticizing them, when in reality he was just saying "You took a Ke$ha song and gave it a melody, which is kinda weird, and it didn't quite work for me." He still thought it was good.

    Even if he didn't, that criticism basically amounts to "You took something that barely qualifies as music, and made it music." I'm all for that.

  • so acapela grp its bout u make the song like its urs that the art of make it well so if ppl see its the same they will hate if u change it too mush they will hate.... FUCKING HATERS GONNA HATE... so sad... sad only...

    P.D. they r the best of the best all time :D

  • 2:42 - 2:45 was amazing. 

  • "We're not sure if people will be mad because it's not like the original," cut to rehearsal..."I don't care what people say..."

    Ironic, no?

  • I wonder what the judges would say now about this performance after the season was done. I actually like it better than the original.

  • Kirstie... Fucking beautiful. Scott uberly sexy. Kevin bad ass. Avi sexy. Mitch is heavenly

  • These kids KICK IT!!!

    

  • Did they just do techno with their voice!?!? WOW!!!!!

  • sara "sheeees scary" i agree lol i love you sara

  • 6.00-6.01 Sara

  • love lockdown is my fav from pentatonix.

  • 0:40 that was my reaction. :)

  • it was fucking amazing, specially at 2:42 of the song

  • I love that effect guy

  • Comment removed

  • this is soooo good! they made it sooooo much better than the oringinal!

  • ET and Your Love is My Drug are their two BEST

  • I would kill for Mitch to look at me like he looks at Kristi at 2:09.

  • THAT DID NOT SOUND HUMAN. MIND FUCKED!

  • As I've said in previous comments, despite the fact that I don't like Ke$ha or her music, this rendition of "Your Love Is My Drug" is AWESOME.

  • check out their FB page...26 likes to go till 50,000

  • What mitch did during that break down was just amazing. Seriously amazing. I really took me like 4-5 times over just that part to really appreciate it. I cant wait to hear more from you guys.

  • Comment removed

  • Their vocal dubstep is heaven.

  • My favorite thing about this is Mitch, especially how into kevin's breakdown. Its nice to see someone enjoy something so much

  • I just watched every performance from every groupfrom season three and Pentatonix's "bad" song still sounds amazing.......

  • Oh, and the absolutely best way to hear Avi do his amazing thing is through a speaker system, on an ipod or similar. You can't hear him as well in these television performances, but in my car? Whoo hoo, he knocks the speakers out!!!

  • I thought the judges were off when they criticized this performance...isn't the point to make it their own or is it to completely copy and recreate the original tune. I thought their version was great and SUPER interesting! It amazed me that they could even hear that arrangement when they heard the original tune. I didn't like the original, but this version was amazing!

  • @lisat4477 completely agree with you, lisa!

  • Pentatonix, your music is my drug :)

  • Damn that dubstep breakdown is dope as hell! OMG Kevin and Avi are beasts! Can stop listening to that drop. How do they do that?!?!

  • "She's... ... ... ...scary."

  • i cant stop rewinding back to the dubstep drop... MINDBLASTING! (when mindblowing just isnt enough)

  • 2:52. mitch's part. me=dead.

  • GENIUS

    

  • Dope

  • i dont care about the neg comments cuz that breakdown was FIERCE!!! what Ben calls wicked awsome! 

  • Hahaha. Mint Dubstep Drop

  • fuckkk thee hatersss. love everything about it. bye. 

  • 2:43 Sick! They are great!

  • I like it a lot but I think they got a little crazy at 2.50 there was just to much going on... that's just my opinion though.

  • I loved their rendition, I thought it was incredibly unique! So the judges felt it was a little too ambitious? Didn't the producers use clips from this performance throughout the rest of the show for a reason? GROUNDBREAKING

  • 2:34 to2:30 It is either Mitch or Avi echoing echoing Kirstie and Scott.

  • Oh and Shawn's critique makes no sense. I loved their decision to sing the verses and think it suited the song and them beautifully.

  • I understand Ben's criticism. PTX always arranges the trio in thirds. That plus their baseline doesn't let the "is my drug" line resolve like the original track. Adding the extra note makes the chord more interesting but makes the wrong part of the line stand out. "Your love, your love, your love" should stand out but it doesn't here, so "is my drug" stands out and that's less interesting musically. Since the hook never resolves, the line isn't as catchy. Otherwise a stellar arrangement. =)

  • AMAAAAAZINGG ! D:

  • I really didn't understand why the judges didn't like this. Nothing wrong with changing up a song that was rather crappy to begin with and actually making it GOOD.

  • WHAT?!?!??!?! WHAT?!?!?!\ THAT'S THE CRAZIEST BRIDGE I'VE EVER SEEN! Mind=blown.

  • 2:40 to 3:00 It actually sounds like a DJ remixed it.

  • WOW did anyone else feel in complete awe when Mitch did that COOL ASS techno climb bit at 2:53??? He is AWESOME.

  • DAYYUUUUMMMMM!!!! THEY DUBSTEPPED THEMSELVES!!! :DD

  • i honestly don't get what the judges mean. this is way better than the original! there were some lapses in the harmony but this version is actually better than kesha's.

  • Pentatonix sounds like music!!

  • So people say this wasn't there best song... but umm i think it was pretty freaking awesome! i would LOVE to see the judges make this song so amazing as these guys did :) totally rocked my socks off :)

  • she's scary.....Sara sounds like she's speaking from experience, haha

  • lol sara thinks Kesha is scary lololol :) and Kesha's music isn't that bad its just that some people don't know how to appreciate it

  • singing in a tree. that's how you get it done

  • I JUST REALIZED WHAT MADE THIS SONG SO UNIQUE, and why the judges hated it. It sounded like dubstep!!!

  • Mitch's voice is so angelic ~ looove it

  • I FREAKING LOVEEEEEE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • just, just get u o-o-o-o-o-off my mind

  • REEEEMIX

  • i don't even remember how Ke$ha did this song anymore I've listened to this so much!

  • I DON'T LIKE KESHA BUT OMFG THEY KICKED ASS. THE JUDGES NEED TO STFU THAT WAS NEARLY PERFECT.

  • 2:44 The sickest break down in all the history of mankind, lifekind and a capella kind. That is all. 

  • I have to agree with Riceyo8 - entertaining, even if it's not their very best.

  • *favorite

  • I don't care what the judges say,this was my favoritd performance by them.

  • @fakerocker109 Mine also, I thought I was the only one lol

  • ZOMG

  • most. epic. breakdown. ever.

  • The judges are wrong.

  • search "Dave Crowe Dubstep Beatbox" its sick, if he was on the sing off he'd dominate.

  • i loved it idc what the judges say

  • Awesome.

    

  • matrix part in the middle--

    cold business

  • I think this song was one of their best.

  • This was actually one of their better performances for me

  • live dubstep:))

    

  • i cannot get over that breakdown

  • As much as I like Ben, I have to disagree with him. He essentially wanted Pentatonix(Scott especially) to sing/talk the verse. Honestly I find Kesha's sing/talking to be obnoxiously annoying. Pentatonix adding a melody to the verse actually did this crappy song a favor. Dubstep a capella 4TW.

  • @btannen777 : I so agree with you... I am not a kesha fan at all and i hated this song until I heard them sing it. They did an amazing job at bring a dull and annoying song to something I could listen to.

  • @btannen777 Totally agree.

  • @btannen777 I agree. I don't like Kesha, I can't stand her honestly, and I think Pentatonix did her a favor here. I liked this version, and would listen to it multiple times.

  • PENTATONIX! U ROCK THE WHOLE PHILIPPINES! :))

  • I love the way Scott and Mitch backed Kirstie from 2:33-2:40, then the breakdown afterwards was insane. One of their best.

  • Mitch, Kevin, And Avi killed that ish on the "freak out".. Kristie aced the solo... My fav is Mitch at 2:52 ascending..

  • well the choreography was sick

  • In my opinion the "freak-out" section is as brutal a drop you can get with your voice. I, being a woman of sound mind and dubstep, categorize this as one of the most brutal drops I've heard and they didn't use any equipment. Bravo, Pentatonix.

  • I absolutly LOVE Kristy as lead vocals on this. She has a way of chewing the words so that they sound unique and facinating. Like the second time she sings the word "care" in her lead phrase "I dont care what people say".

    I was blown away.

  • Mitch's voice reminds me SO much like Sam Tsui!!!!! :o

  • @VDiddy881 Tsui ain't got shit on Mitch

  • @sfcougars45 Well I just thought of his voice when I heard his......Pentatonix> Sam Tsui Don't get me wrong.

  • OMG!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO MARRY MITCH!!!!! :)

  • Judges were so wrong on this one, this is a sing off classic!

  • wow. amazing.

  • 2:40 - 2:45 is my favorite! It makes me smile every single time!!! :):)

  • I was amazed by this. I am so excited that they won!!! :)

  • dubsex.

  • All they needed at 2:40 was Fat Man Scoop screaming....that was disgusting

  • WHOA!

    nothing wrong with this performance.

  • I love Kevin's commentary in the beginning :D

  • BECAUSE YOUR LUH-LUH-LUH-LOOURRVE

  • Any song that has someone wearing orange skinny jeans gets my vote.

  • @longtinma06 lol!

  • So, I finally dared to look up and listen to the original version of this song. I have no idea why the judges criticized Scott for singing, or why they described what Kesha did as 'sing-talking'. She just spoke. He sang. They made this song good. I couldn't get halfway through the original.

  • @kaldrenon I know!! I downloaded Kesha's song...regretted it. This is sooooo much better!!!

  • @kaldrenon mhm 37 seconds i jst closed it.... done deal this version in my opinion is SO much better

  • Dear lord... Just listen for Scott during the "freak out." holy crap, he does such an amazing thing under Mitch and Kirstie, and it's just this crazy rapid-fire "nuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh" thing. Wow.

  • this may sound hella gay but mitch has a pretty singing voice haha

  • @ stubthezomb-Jessica Freedman makes special mention of being thankful for "amazing love and friendship" she has found w/ Avi on her facebook page. Can't hate on that.

  • Live dubstep? i think so.

  • I heard Ke$ha did a cover of this song...

  • ur amazing no matter how u change a song!

  • sorry, last post was supposed to say that's what her facebook says, for whatever that's worth.

  • @nata3210 that

  • anyone else notice the freaking awesome back up at 2:35??? who would think of that? theyre geniuses

  • Avi is dating Jessica Freedman from Sonos and Kirsti is dating a YellowJacket, the one that's basically the butch version of Mitch, the shipping needs to stop.

  • @elliedo01 nooo is he?! so sad :(

  • @elliedo01 how do u no this lol

  • Avi, just ask Kristi out already. Seriously, either that or stop staring. It's cute but she's clueless.

  • LOL at how Sara says shes scary....

  • 2:45 to 3:00 is AMAZING!!!!!! They're all great but Kevin and Avi go H.A.M

  • DISGUSTING!!! at 2:40

  • my subwoofer is going crazy.....awesome.

  • So on my 832nd listen, I finally noticed how awesomely Mitch and Kirstie seamlessly switch back and forth at 2:48 - 2:54 during the "freak-out" section. They are CRAZY in-sync!

  • 3:12 <3

  • up, my bad...

  • Real men wear pink pants. Now if you all will excuse me I need to go to the pants store.

  • I never understood Ben's complaint about the melody at the top of the song. The melody does exist in the original song as well but it's done in bass instead.

  • Not my favorite performance, but 2:43 to 2:46 is one my favorite part of it.  Because your lo-lo-lo-*remix*-my drug

  • ...Am I the only one that wants pentatonix to remix/dubstep more often???

  • @trogdormaster1 Yessss, more remix/dubstep!! Listening back to all their S/O performances, this one was the most ambitious. Makes one wonder what *else* they are capable of in the remix/dubstep department....

  • I always go back and listen to the original after pentatonix does it and i ALWAYS like the pentatonix arrangement better. They actually make me disappointed in the original when I was perfectly fine with it before

  • you know they're good...when this is their "worst" one. hahah

  • SICK

  • I'm marrying Kirsty btw

  • @Samufu091 good luck. I hope my marriage to Scott works out as well as yours and Kirsty's does!!!:-))

  • OVI, HOLY SHIT, You're a fuckin FREAK ... You Too Kevin, EFFINg NUTS, this arrangement was SICK, I love you guys, Congrats!!!

  • @Samufu091 Its Avi

  • FUCKING AWESOME. MITCH IS BOSS

  • I watched the last few episodes....whenever they referenced this performance, they made it seem like the judges hated it completely. But...the critique wasn't that bad -.-

  • I think the judges just felt the need to make them sweat early in the season and see how they dealt with the pressure. Where's the drama if they're always like "OMG YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!!!!!!111oneonesparkles­!!!!!!" the whole season long? :P

  • screw the judges they were beast!

  • 2:42- 3:00 is like 15 seconds in dubstep heaven!!! like OMG sickness! lol I love that part sssoooooooo much!

  • Oh micth how I have a crush on you! (:

  • AVI is amazing! I can't believe it's human voice and not a real base. SICK!

  • I don't understand what they didn't like either. It's awesome!

  • I personally thought this was sick. I don't know how the judges found anything wrong with it. Everything they did was pitch perfect and in perfect sync.

  • @xXRazorbacksXx ben thought the risky arrangement was a bit too futuristic and weird sounding for this era of a cappella.

  • Better than the original.

  • @bloom1185 That's not saying very much.

  • Before I get all jumped on, I think the judges on this show rock, but I think they also missed what PTX was trying to do with Kesha's track.

  • So... They were basically criticized for introducing more "musicality" into a song by incorporating actual SINGING into an a capella arrangement. How dare they! It's called the Speak-Sing Off for a reason!

  • kesh rock in ever way she rule our world thumbs up if u think so !

  • blonde dude... just looks like such an arrogant person... i cant get over it. but great group.

  • @garbageman51 looks are deceiving.

  • hahaha I'm just imagining Kirstie looking towards Avi at the end and saying, "I like your beard."

  • @lyndes33 tht wud have MADE my WHOLE life!!!
