Pentatonix

Do you like pop music? Do you like singing with your friends (or at least by yourself because there's tons of apps that you can use and take a video of yourself singing :P)? Before you proceed reading, i must warn you to not judge these two-time Grammy award winning choir nerds. It's not "the Pentatonix", it's Pentatonix (get it right, you article writers/interviewers :P).

I am a huge fan of Pentatonix. They're an a capella band, and before you say something shady about a capella being boring and whatnot go and listen to them right now. You done? Good. You see, they have a wide range of music taste--from classical to electronic dance music or EDM-- and a wide vocal range, if i might add. Back then, they took popular music and turned it into something aca-mazing by adding their style to each song. Tons of youtube views and subscribers later, they have an all-original chart-topping album, although they composed original music with their producer Ben Bram before, this was a huge blessing for them and for the fans--Pentaholics-- too.

Do i sound like i'm a professional at writing this? I hope not.

Anyways, i love them a lot. 

Pentatonix captured my attention because it's a capella; you can basically do it without instruments. And if you're like me, i sing a lot and i'm a choir nerd, then you're probably adding them to your playlist--#shamelesspromo GO BUY THEIR SELF-TITLED ALBUM-- or listening to them while you're reading this--THEY'RE ALSO ON SPOTIFY, in case you're broke like me but you have internet :P-- or you're already learning their separate parts, which is fun by the way ^_^. Once you get your friends to listen to them and memorize each parts, you can sing (by Pentatonix) it with them.

So let me tell you about their album. I think, whatever mood you're feeling, a song in there will fit it. Whether you're missing that special someone who is far away from you (Misbehavin') or you just woke up and you're feeling happy and you want to match it with a song (Na Na Na) or you want to listen to someone singing you a lullaby (Light in the Hallway). Literally, anything. You can even listen to their album non-stop, that's what i do, don't judge me. 

The reason why i love them so much is because they're so down to earth and they have a great relationship with their fans. Throughout their career, they've built this close relationship with us and also because of social media we can easily communicate with them. They've done livestreams, Q&A's in Scott and Mitch's youtube channel, Superfruit, they did a project in which fans can be part of their upcoming tour digitally. Although there have been a few 'fandom wars' and accusations from aggressive people, the Pentaholics always stand up for their idols and we stick together as a family. Because it's not a fandom anymore, we are a family.

So far, i'm waiting for them to announce when they are coming here to perform again, and when they do i'll cry because that's what i do :P . Anyways, i'll end it here and, don't forget to subscribe to Pentatonix's youtube channel. *waves hands goodbye*
