Sing Off winners, Pentatonix team up with Natalie Weiss for a cover of “Love Takes Over” by David Guetta feat. Kelly Rowland.

Natalie got as far as Hollywood during the 4th season of American Idol. She’s also a Penn State grad, which makes her A-OK in my book! (I’m a fellow alum!).

She also sings real good too. Yep. Another great cover from the awesome Pentatonix. The group’s debut EP is set to be release on June 26th!

    I wasn’t familiar with Natalie since I didn’t really get into AI until season 5 but this cover is incredible.  I look forward to all of the Pentatonix vids!

    Thanks mj!

    First off: I love Pentatonix and everything they do. There’s such joy that comes across in their music.

    BUT. . . I hope they don’t follow suit with more covers like these. Yes, Natalie Weiss is a great singer, but the arrangement here was hardly anything exciting (unlike almost everything they’ve done in the past) because it was a soloist simply backed up by a group that’s aping the backing track of the original song.

    What’s always impressed me about Pentatonix musically has been the originality of their arrangements. There’s always at least one big surprise in their arrangements that perfectly captures their intent with the song. Here, I can’t say there were any surprises, or anything to recommend them over any other collegiate acappella group in the country who’s doing the same exact thing.

    Good Lawd! That Natalie chick is a straight BEAST!  She’s on some Kelly Clarkson stuff right there.

    Pentatonix? The harmonies….the bass….the crescendos….This whole performance is off the chain.

    I thought it was only okay, although Natalie is a swell lead singer.

    Does anyone know what’s going to be on their EP? What’s the label? They won a contract on the Sing-Off, didn’t they?

    Does anyone know what’s going to be on their EP?

    They’ve been tweeting a few spoilers at @PTXofficial .  So far they’ve announced Nicki Minaj’s “Starships”, Gotye’s “Somebody I Used To Know” (“a new mix”, according to the tweet), and Pentatonix’s own Scott Hoying’s “The Baddest Girl”.
