Dominating the a capella world.

Music Review: Pentatonix

It's time for another music review! This week I'm going to put a spotlight on the biggest a capella group in the world right now - Pentatonix.

Pentatonix is made up of members Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstie Maldanado, Avi Kaplan, and Kevin Olusola. Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie all attended the same High School in Arlington, TX. After they graduated, they decided to audition for a hit a capella TV show called "The Sing Off." The minimum group size for the show was five members, so they began the hunt for a bass singer and a killer beat-boxer. Enter Avi and Kevin.

They were selected for Season 3 of "The Sing Off" and ended up winning. After becoming the Season 3 champions, they kind of fell off the map. They were posting videos on YouTube every week in an effort to keep their music out there, but the record deal from The Sing Off wasn't one that was very productive to them. Their videos on YouTube went so viral that RCA records ended up offering them a contract.

Now, 7 albums later, Pentatonix is the biggest a capella group in the world. They have dominated the charts with covers and original music. They have just released their third Christmas album, titled "A Pentatonix Christmas." For the last several days, their Christmas music is all I've been able to listen to.

Just about everybody has heard at least one song by Pentatnoix, but if you haven't, you definitely need to check out their YouTube page! My obsession from them right now is their cover of "Hallelujah." It's just amazing!

That's all for this week's music review!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
