#Pentatonix: Around the World for the Holidays

[eightopals]

Pentatonix sings Feliz Navidad live in the studio. Kirstin leads, she is adorable. That oversized white jacket Mitch is wearing is like an exemplar of Mitch-wear.

Three-time Grammy Award-winning a cappella group Pentatonix recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They also earned their fifth Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for “Holidays Around The World” – a 12-track collection that includes collaborations with a range of artists, including Broadway star Lea Salonga and classical musician Lang Lang. Pentatonix’s Mitch Grassi took time out during the group’s recent tour to talk with me about the Grammys, how he stays healthy and some of his favorite places in the world.

A/N: bare with me on this!! i had this idea pop into my head after seeing Pentatonix in concert recently and thought it would be adorable. if you haven’t listened to them, do it. since this is a multi-fan page i thought i’d combine my two loves into a holiday short story!!! hope you guys enjoy this :)

The Concert Proposal

Pairing: Sebastian Stan x fem!Reader (ft. Pentatonix)

Summary: Reader and Sebastian attend a Pentatonix Christmas show but little does reader know, Sebastian coordinated with the band to propose during their performance of Amazing Grace.

Warnings: Petnames(?) Lots of fluff so have fun :)

As the lights came up and the music started, y/n began cheering loudly. It was her 6th year seeing them in concert and every year she had just as much if not more fun. This year, she brought her boyfriend Sebastian with her. Typically, he wouldn’t do this considering his fame but this year was going to be special for them both. The moment y/n came running into their apartment after work screaming excitedly about how Pentatonix would be doing another Christmas tour for their new album “Holiday’s Around the World”, Sebastian knew that’s when he was going to propose. A few emails back and forth later and Sebastian had an entire plan with the band.

“Seb, we’re going to be late..is there any way Chris can get someone else to help him? Why couldn’t Anthony help?” y/n asked softly, very stressed and worked up.

“I’m so sorry, baby. Anthony is in a huge meeting right now.” Sebastian replied sounding genuinely sorry.

At the arena, the band had come on stage to talk with the crowd and inform them all of the slight change to the show.

“Hey y’all!” Scott started when they all stepped out onto the stage earning cheers from all the fans.

“So before we start, we have a huge announcement for everyone. We actually have a couple that will be arriving in roughly ten minutes. We know the show is supposed to start now but we’re pushing it back just a bit as the boyfriend will be proposing!” Scott explained excitedly earning more cheers from everyone.

“Yes! We are just as excited! So her favorite song is Amazing Grace and that is when he chose to propose to her. So what’s going to happen is my lovely boyfriend Ben is going to act as if he’s getting couples here in orchestra to slow dance to the song together and when he gets to them, that’s when the proposal will happen!” Kirstin added in, helping the crowd understand the plan.

Those ten minutes passed and thankfully y/n had seen on twitter that there was a “fifteen” minute delay so they would be getting there perfectly on time. Once they got their tickets scanned and they got to their seats, the show started as it typically would. The openers, a girl named tom, did their part as normal and no one said anything to give away that this show was going to be any different. The band came on and began their routine. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, 12 Days of Christmas, Carol of the Bells, White Winter Hymnal, Wheel of Christmas, Audience Tiktok, Mary Did You Know, and Little Drummer Boy all came and went in what felt like blink of an eye to Sebastian. Amazing Grace started and everything was going perfectly. Ben approached Sebastian and Y/n, asking them to do a little dancing to possibly use as footage later which immediately was agreed to.

As the two began dancing, Sebastian smiled at y/n before slowly stoping their little dancing. He reached for the velvet box in his pocket, getting onto one knee, the group still going as they watched from the stage.

“Baby. You’ve been apart of my life for almost five years. Every day is a new adventure with you whether it be spending quality time together on set or staying home as you dance around the apartment to their songs. These things I want to experience everyday for the rest of my life. Y/n, will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?” Sebastian asked, opening the box to reveal a beautifully simple oval diamond ring with a gold band.

Y/n teared up, shaking out of pure excitement as she listened to the words that came from her lovers mouth. She nodded quickly, hugging him tightly before he could put the ring on her finger. Once she let go, Sebastian slipped the ring on her finger, the ring fitting perfectly on her hand which worked perfectly on timing as the band ended the song with Sebastian standing to hug y/n again, the crowd cheering for both the band and the now engaged couple.

“Y/n, Sebastian. We are so so excited we got to be apart of your engagement tonight. We wish you all the most happiness in this new chapter of your life!” Mitch told them happily, Scott and Kirstie gently wiping stray tears that fell from their eyes.

The rest of the night had gone perfectly, once Star On Top came up, Matt invited y/n and Sebastian up on stage to have a “first dance” to the song since it is a love song.

“Oh god this is terrifying!” y/n told Sebastian, holding his hand tightly as the walked onto stage, the band greeting them with hugs and congratulations.

“You’ll be perfectly, darling.” Sebastian assured her, wrapping his arms perfectly around her waist.

The song began and the two swayed to the music, y/n placing her head on Sebastian’s chest as they swayed along.

In that moment, it was just the two of them. Soon-to-be Mrs and Mr. Sebastian Stan. Now for wedding planning which of course would result in wedding invited sent to the band.

The Sing-Off, s.4 ep.7 — Finale

And then there were three. But in the spirit of the holiday season, the show brought back all ten groups for one last hurrah. Most of this episode feels more like an old school variety show than a competition, but the individual performances from the three finalists are all excellent.

.

Group opener

It can be easy in the modern world to discount the impact that art has on people's lives. But in times of difficulty, we often turn to music for comfort and inspiration. If this version of Michael Jackson's classic anthem doesn't stir something inside you, I don't know what else to say.

Details:

title: Man in the Mirror

original performer: Michael Jackson

written by: Glen Ballard & Siedah Garrett

arranged by: The Sing-Off arrangers

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

the gradual layering and building of complexity throughout the arrangement

featuring a few more soloists than previous opening numbers

the eliminated groups entering the upper stage-side boxes and from the audience aisles just in time for the big key change

alternating Emoni's gorgeous riffs and Austin's high "woo"s over the full chorus

ending the season as it began, with everyone together, and a well deserved standing ovation

Trivia:

Austin from Home Free was sick in the final days of the competition, and ended up whistling his vocal parts during rehearsals to preserve his singing voice for filming.

VoicePlay recorded their own version of this song eight years later, which ended up being their send-off video for J.None.

.

Order of performances

Nick Lachey & Jewel — "It Had To Be You"

AcoUstiKats — "Jingle Bell Rock" bumper

Ten & Shawn Stockman — "Joyful, Joyful" from Sister Act 2

Street Corner Renaissance — "White Christmas" bumper

The Filharmonic — "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" bumper

Pentatonix — "I Need Your Love" by Calvin Harris, feat. Ellie Goulding

Calle Sol — "Feliz Navidad" bumper

Home Free — "I Want Crazy" by Hunter Hayes

98 Degrees — "I'll Be Home For Christmas" by Bing Crosby

Princeton Footnotes — "Deck the Halls" bumper

Vocal Rush & Ben Folds — "Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy" by David Bowie & Bing Crosby

Element — "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" bumper

VoicePlay — "Jingle Bells" bumper

Ten — "Love On Top" by Beyoncé

Home Free & Jewel — "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" from Meet Me In St. Louis

a cappella 101 tutorial

five eliminated groups with Pat Benetar & Neil Giraldo — "We Belong"

Vocal Rush — "Roar" by Katy Perry

.

VoicePlay performance

[h/t to voiceplay_randomnness on IG for archiving this clip]

Give these guys forty seconds and a chance to riff on a classic song, and they'll give you three different musical genres that will all have you grooving in your seat.

Details:

title: Jingle Bells (commercial bumper)

original song: traditional American carol, first published as "The One Horse Open Sleigh" (1857)

written by: James Lord Pierpont

arranged by: VoicePlay

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

staying true to their name by playing with the beats and harmonies

their outfits — The wardrobe department clearly had so much fun dressing them for every episode, and this is no exception.

Trivia:

VoicePlay have never recorded a traditional version of this song, but they've done two mashups that include it – "Bollywood Jingle Bells" on their 2012 holiday album "Peppermint Winter", and "Mission: Jingle Bells" as a promotional tie-in for the home media release of "Mission Impossible: Fallout" in 2018.

.

A Cappella 101 segment

Nick and the other judges may have poked fun at Ben for his vocabulary, but music does have a lot of specific technical terminology and jargon. (Props to Chris Rupp for actually offering one serious answer among the jokes.) A little wordplay never hurt anybody, though.

.

Tour announcement

I couldn't find a clip from the broadcast episode, but this promo video seems pretty legitimate.

.

Group performance

If there was one consistent theme for the whole season, it could be expressed by one line from this song: "We belong together." Dozens of talented singers coming together to create beautiful harmonies and rhythms are sure to brighten someone's day. This performance certainly puts a smile on my face.

Details:

title: We Belong

original performer: Pat Benetar

written by: David Eric Lowen & Dan Navarro

arranged by: The Sing-Off arrangers

air date: 23 December 2013

My favorite bits:

all five groups starting with traditional a cappella phonations that replicate instrumental sounds

building to a powerful backing chorus

the percussive stomping and clapping in the final section

everybody leaning in for hugs at the end

Trivia:

VoicePlay were a little starstruck performing with one of the biggest pop stars of their childhoods.

Several of the competitors joked on social media during the broadcast about Neil Giraldo bringing an instrument into an explicitly a cappella show.

.

And the winner is…

Congratulations, Home Free!

.

With VoicePlay mostly being in the boxes or in the middle of big groups for this episode, we didn't get a great look at their full outfits, which is a shame. Luckily, they uploaded a bunch of backstage photos to their Facebook page.

VoicePlay's stalwart sound guy Paul and his mom were in the audience for the finale.

Vocal Rush's videographer shot some wandering videos of the post-finale party with competitors and crew members, as well as some friends and family. VoicePlay can be seen mostly in the background of the second video.

In a move that has surprised many who understood that Disney were building a vast, ever-growing archive of readily accessible streaming content, the House of Mouse are instead pulling a number of shows Disney Plus and Hulu and returning them to the Disney Vault for the time being. Included on that list are a number of high-profile titles including Y: The Last Man, Dollface, The World According to Jeff Goldblum and from Lucasfilm last years first season of Willow. The move, which comes with a content impairment charge of $1.5 billion to $1.8 billion, was announced during the recent Disney earnings call on May 10. “We are in the process of reviewing the content on our DTC services to align with the strategic changes in our approach to content curation,” CFO Christine McCarthy said. At the time, no details were provided on the content that would be removed.

[ID: a screenshot of three tweets by John Bickerstaff @/Bitterstaff, March 19th 2023, that reads “They gave us six months. Not even. This business has become absolutely cruel.” They link an article. The tagline reads: “Disney To Remove Dozens Of Series From Disney+ & Hulu, Including…”

Linked article summary: “Disney is starting to pull content from streaming, with dozens of series and specials slated to leave Disney+ and Hulu on May 26.”

The tweet continues: “Before you say tax-write off: these shows have already been released and so can't be a write-off. And in the case of Willow, they own the property outright. The only conclusion is that this is to get out of paying residuals. During a strike.

And look, eternal streaming libraries are not sustainable. We're all going to have to adjust to that at some point. But to spend [REDACTED] on a show and then disappear it six months later is just bad business.” End ID]

Here’s the full list of shows being removed (as of 5/20/23)

on the announcement that Disney+ is removing a plethora of shows and films from its service, please read these tweets from Willow writer John Bickerstaff. this is not a tax writeoff like Batgirl, because these projects have already been released. this is a move designed to cut off financial support in the form of residuals, and break the spirit of the strike. here is the deadline article that lists the films/shows that will be removed.

as always, donate to the entertainment community fund, vocally support the WGA online and irl, or join a picket in a major US city if you can. let them know they can't keep getting away with things like this.
