PENTATONIX COVER: CHEERLEADER

Pentatonix is named after the pentatonic scale, a musical scale or mode with five notes per octave.

Pentatonix makes the varsity squad with ‘Cheerleader’ cover

The singers of Pentatonix have more than a billion views of their a cappella covers and other performances on their YouTube channel. But they may have outdone themselves with their version of Jamaican singer OMI’s summertime smash, Cheerleader. The group’s latest video features the five members wearing letterman hoodies — with “PTX” emblazoned on them, natch — and crooning away in a gym.

The group’s also getting fans fired up for new music: At the end of the video, after the credits roll, the screen goes black except for text that reads “Can’t Sleep Love #Soon.” Since Can’t Sleep Love is an unreleased song the quintet has been performing while on tour with the newly pregnant Kelly Clarkson, can new music be far away?

After being dropped from the label (Epic Records) after The Sing-Off, the group formed their popular YouTube channel and distributed their music through Madison Gate Records, a small independent label owned by Sony Pictures that distributes movie soundtracks. The group also made effective use of social media to interact with their fan base.

Having now eclipsed 8.7 million subscribers and more than 1 billion cumulative views, the PTX official YouTube page is currently the 13th most subscribed-to music channel and the 44th most subscribed channel overall. Pentatonix’s most viewed music video is a tribute to Daft Punk that recently surpassed 150 million views.

Pentatonix

~~Published on Apr 15, 2013~~

Arrangement by Pentatonix and Ben Bram http://www.thebenbram.com/
Filmed by Ryan Parma (twitter: @RyanParma)
Mixed by Ed Boyer http://www.edboyeracappella.com/
Recorded and filmed at Endless Noise. http://www.endlessnoise.com

I’m a music lover.

At my current age, I’m familiar with these songs!

The talent this artists show has always impressed me and never cease to amaze me.

Keep in mind that these are young performers who, most likely, hadn’t heard some of these “old” songs until the arrangement was made. So many songs “mashed up” in 4:28 minutes.

I find it impressive and amazing. I hope you do too.

I included the list above so that those interested my follow the lyrics with the video.

Enjoy.
