Kirstin Maldonado: He’s our secret weapon! How long have you all been holding that in your back pocket?
THR: Mitch had his own breakthrough moment last week when the group went quiet and allowed him to highlight his strong falsetto. It was absolutely surreal to watch our style unfold in front of us. Because from then on, we kind of had strong performances. And finding our niche then is really what set us on a track to this victory.
#PENTATONIX WHERE ARE YOU NOW HOW TO#
Scott Hoying: I think our breakthrough performance was “Video Killed The Radio Star.” I think that’s when we really figured out how to arrange together, what we were going to do and what our style was going to be. The Hollywood Reporter: What do you think was your breakthrough performance? The Hollywood Reporter was at the live finale taping and spoke to the members of Pentatonix after the show just as their win was still sinking in. And now, the group that still hadn’t truly figured out if it was gelling two episodes into the competition are the Season 3 champs winning a Sony Music recording contract and $200,000. What’s even more impressive about the group is that they fully formed just a day before the show’s auditions after childhood friends Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado, and Mitch Grassi discovered Kevin Olusola and Avi Kaplan, their two-person rhythm section, on YouTube. And, possibly, no other group in the competition better represented that innovation better than the five-person group who finds its musical inspiration in electronica like dubstep and garage house.
More than any other season of the a cappella singing competition, Season 3 was characterized by a very diverse group of contenders who are trying new things with the genre. It seems appropriate that the winners of NBC’s The Sing-Off’s third season was Arlington, Texas quintet Pentatonix.
