When Avi comes in...goosebumps every single time. I truly wish there were more videos featuring Avi and Mitch together...they're magic when they play off each other.
One of my two favorite Christmas songs from them, along with O Come, All Ye Faithful. I just find this stunningly gorgeous, the closest they’ve ever come to madrigal singing, which is all about the voices harmonizing and then weaving in and around each other.
if your going to do Christmas songs outside of Christmas you just have to do "oh come all ye faithful". Even in your wildest dreams you couldn't imagine what they did with the arrangement of what I think ordinarily is a rather morbid tune.
I'm sure you know that Avi is trained in Opera and Classical music so this is right in his wheel house🥰 They are so Angelic in this 😇 It doesn't have to be Christmas to play PTX music we listen to ALL YEAR🤣🎅🎄❄☃
Have you seen/heard them do "My Heart With You" yet? OMG, it's just like this, an angelic study in five part harmony at it's best. It doesn't get any better than this, just stand them somewhere with good acoustics and let them go. I'll bet they'd sound just as good if they weren't in agreement on which song to sing and were singing different songs! They'd manage to make them blend to perfection. Most group singers watch each other for the nuances of timing, when to join in, when to drop out. These guys close their eyes and do it by feel and are exquisitely on-point better than anyone I've ever heard. They take a simple children's lullaby and make it a masterpiece.
I got to see them do My Heart With You Live in December on their Evergreen tour, 10,000 people completely quiet and the five of them standing around one mic. It was my favorite of the show (& that’s saying something cuz everything they did was fantastic!)
As soon as Avi starts singing the Sleep part and all of them start singing, I get chills and my eyes become fountains of tears. It is so beautiful and there is no way to explain how ethereal it sounds. Angels absolute Angels singing....Thank you for reacting to this one. I think it is the most beautiful of their songs...
I think that PTX is a freak show (in the best possible way). People are agog at how high Mitch can go, and how low Matt and Avi can go. Everyone is astonished by Kevin. I think Scott and Kirsten are the glue that pulls all of those elements together and keeps the group grounded.
This was one of the first songs I truly realised how gifted Avi is because you could really hear him sing. Plus how much of an amazing arranger he is. They all are amazing but he is special when it comes to emotional songs. AND PLEASE NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING A FAVORITE!!!
They sing from their heart and soul. There aren't many singers who sing with emotions. But they do. And I love it. Either they're singing happy songs or emotional songs.
As regards "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy", I've heard that Avi was the one who brought the piece to the table, and that he and Ben Bram were the primary arrangers of it. And they won their 2nd Grammy for it. Here's the video of the moment they won and Ben Bram accepted for them (they were rehearsing to perform on the show later). ua-cam.com/video/vF0Hla9ai5I/v-deo.html
It's my sublime. Follow up with O Come All Ye Faithful for the other end of the spectrum of their Christmas brilliance. Edit: go back, listen to Avi's last note (I think you missed it) and take a look at Scott's glance of admiration.
Your sarcasm is very 😖😑 LOL! YES! I get chills from Avi's amazing deep bass along with K.O and The Trio's heavenly vocals are glorious! Notice K.O's very high falsetto right before mitch does his lead, it gets missed a lot. They truly make every song they cover epic.
I couldn't help but think of Kirstin's baby being serenaded to sleep by something like this.... so beautiful....so amazing and uplifting..the baby does not stand a chance..
IIRC they were on tour in Europe when they filmed this and decided to sing in this cathedral so they set up a camera and went for it. I don’t know the entire story but I’m sure others can fill in other details. The acoustics on this are amazing. No fancy production. No looping tracks. Just the five of them in this incredible venue.
We all have our favorites. No need to apologize for it. I admit that I get tired of the 'bow down to Lord Avi' routine that some people run but you've never done that. I am happy that you are into this kind of music, even though you don't like it unless unicorns are doing it. 😄
I actually like their Christmas music anytime of the year but I like this one particularly because it really sounds like this is how it was MEANT to be…a beautiful lullaby
After hearing this, it became my forever favorite version of Silent Night. It is so beautiful how it changes from the traditional song into a lullaby.😍😍😍😍😍
That was a moment. My absolute favorite Pentatonix Christmas song. They all shine as usual. Avi.... Avi.... Avi, shows all his range and talent, and as always, he hits you right in the "feels". I'm so happy you reacted to this. Thank you. And Peter's version of Run to You is awesome!.
Saucey this reaction was EPIC..... You are just soooooo damn funny. I love your reaction to Avi because that's just how I have always felt about Avi. Love you with all your .....let's say runs.. when you go off the charts with your thoughts.. . Love the expression with the crossed eyes..... Just sooooooo much entertainment in your reactions..
They were on their European tour and.found the cathedral and decided to do this, at least this is what has been said.. It's also a one take video supposedly. Great reaction SD.
When it comes to PTX, its always Christmas. That’s Christmas To Me is an original, and one of my favorite Christmas songs ever. Have you ever seen the little Christmas animation of them? Short, but so cute. I love sassy, animated Mitch 😆 ua-cam.com/video/Evt3PWx57WY/v-deo.html
Hey, Saucey Dad! Just FYI, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy isn't a hymn. It's a small portion of The Nutcracker ballet, the music written by Tchaikovsky. Granted, it's a Christmas-themed story, but since there aren't any words to it, it would be kind of hard to be a hymn.
You are absolutely my favorite reactor, word salad and all! You’re real, you have the ability to laugh, at yourself, at us, at the people who say you pay too much attention to Avi. As far as I’m concerned, you can’t pay too much attention to Avi. My gosh, when he came in on this video, it had so much power-not loud, just controlled power and presence, that it seemed to anchor this song, give it strength. I’m not intending to diminish everyone else; what they gave this carol was as powerful and beautiful. This is by far my favorite version of Silent Night. And I’ll just add that their Christmas music is the best! I even heard it played in Target! And did you notice how they sing with their hands? I love that.
In the early days a lot of their videos are luke this. Just basic and amazing. I already loved Christmas music but since discovering PTX I could listen to it year round.
Kirstin always cuts through in live recordings for me. Someone who went to their concert recently said he heard her more than he ever had. I've read (and often repeat) that she's a trumpet among violins. She has to work to blend with the boys and often she's holdng down the middle of a three part chord that needs to sound like one instrument. You may have noticed in their behind the scenes of evergreen that Kirstie multiple times said "I'm going to be so loud" or "it's too loud so I'll do X." All this rambling is to say, it makes me sad when people sleep on her talent just because she's a team player.
Agreed. I always notice and appreciate Kirstin's voice in all of Pentatonix songs. It doesn't matter whether she is lead, harmonizing, singing background or adding as-libs, I always hear her.
Yesssss 😍 thank you, I don't think I could have waited until Christmas for your reaction to this heavenly rendition and arrangement! I knew you would get hit by the Avilanche ;) they all sound beautiful (for some reason, to me Mitch stands out the most, until Avi comes in), but he touches my soul the most. I loved your comment about their faces and emotions, and your funny quips about the haters - everyone's taste is different, and it has nothing to do with the talent of the singers. Just stay exactly how you are - unless you can become a unicorn of course 🦄😉
In Sept 2016 I lost my significant other, so needless to say I did not celebrate Christmas that year. No tree, music, decorations, gifts ...nothing. I moved in with my friend who Oct 2017 dropped dead in our apartment. After I gave her CPR she came back in a coma for 4 days and passed I decided no Christmas that year either. There was no Christmas since, I then lost my mom and it was too much. Then came 2021. After meeting a fantastic group of people through a PTX page I decided to try Christmas. THIS was the first Christmas Carol I sat and listened to in 5 Years and I bawled my eyes out. Thx for a great reaction Nick 😎
Thinking about this song makes me cry. The beauty is palpable and whelms you in the peace and all the love you can't even handle it. I quit asking for reactions to it because I started crying everytime. This is one of of their performances that every time is the first time for me.
Ahh so happy you did this one!! 😄🎄 One of my absolute favorites!! (Even though that’s hard to choose lol) Also, people are so freaking weird, it’s totally ok to even say Avi is your favorite if you want to. It’s not a big deal! If people watch enough of your videos they’ll be able to tell that you’ve clearly connected with him as a human, and his music has really touched your soul. You have no idea how much I can relate, so we’re in the same boat. I love 2017-Present Pentatonix with all my heart, but as I always say… there’s just something about Avi! 🤣🤷🏾♀️❤️
Also Scott kept looking at Avi for one of the parts til the song that had a odd count to come in and he kept missing it. But with Avi to back him him he finally got it... Just a little FYI
If you like their live performances then you'd like Seasons of Love live, there is some prerecorded video clips but all video of them and their audio is performed on live TV. It's on one of their christmas album but isn't a christmas song.
Interesting that you heard Kirstie....people hear differences with these guys when they sing. Some say you hear who you're looking at. Love this version, they did it on the European tour and the natural acoustics in this centuries old church are incredible. Avi's voice is gorgeous and these guys can just do no wrong or none that I've found in 12+ years. I love when they do pure 5 part Harmony and various musical arrangement with no beatboxing, it's magical! This is a gorgeous piece of music! The First Noel is gorgeous as well and you get a lot more of the Avi/Mitch combo, it's probably my favorite of their Cmas music.
One of favorite PTX upgrades. Absolute perfection live w/o any technical BS to mess with their perfect voices & perfect sound! It gives me chills from head to toe! Thank you for the gift.
This is still one of my favs. So gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous, you did Avi's Full Moon, live, but could you please do the studio version? His lives are very different from his official versions.
This is the first time I've heard this Pentatonix version and I think I'm going to have to see it again. I just came across a livestream from Pentatonix that I've never seen anyone review; probably because it is almost an hour, but it is a Q&A along with multiple live songs that are incredible, especially given the venue. It's called PTX Livestream 6/28/2013
I was laughing when you stopped to give the comment about Mitch and Avi and thought to myself ... just wait, you're going to get your Mitch and Avi fix in just a moment.
If you're not ready for Xmas season, best buckle up, Buttercup! Cuz there are SIX, count 'em, SIX PTX Christmas albums! - Mary. Did You Know. O Come, All Ye Faithful. Over the River. And on and on! Can't wait! PS. It's never too early for PTX Xmas music! 🎶🎧🎄🎉
Thank you for this great reaction, their version of this song is epic! Most of us don't care what season it is, we're listening to PTX Christmas music throughout the year.. Two of my favs are "What Christmas means to me" and "That's Christmas to me" and I swear with that song I'm literally crying each and every time bc of the video! I hope you'l react to them one day
Love their Christmas songs! My favorite is O' Come All Thee Faithful, they totally made it their own. They are all soooo amazing, take one person out it wouldn't sound the same.
Hello Saucey Dad, For sure you are a confirmed Pentaholic -- listening to PTX Christmas music in May. Well done, you!! Their Christmas music is so special - originals or covers - and this Silent Night is just beautiful. Waiting for more PTX Christmas music reactions from you - O Come All You Faithful, 12 Days of Christmas, Mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells, Where Are You Christmas, That's Christmas To Me, I Saw Three Ships (from the BYUTV Christmas Special), It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, The First Noel, We Need a Little Christmas, Frosty the Snowman (fro the BYUTV Christmas Special) - the list is long and wonderful. More PTX please.
I am one of those odd ptx-fans that don't go gaga over this one. I mean, it's marvelously and bone-chillingly spectacular in arrangement and performance and just a masterpiece. But I have a hard time listening to it because it changes the classic melody. Apparently my brain does not want the classic and simple version of this to be changed, haha. Which is weird because I usually don't have a problem with them changing up songs. But hey, that's a me issue. Because if I ignore that I know this song already, it's just stunningly beautiful! The fact that this is a live one-take is just... mindblowing! They can do sooooo many things and genres so perfectly! (Also, I laughed at you praising Avis silence!)
Except that Mitch is singing the traditional melody throughout, until Avi does his "sleep, sleep" thing towards the end.. If you concentrate on Mitch's line, instead of Kirstie's slightly over-emphasized descant (difficult to do, I know), then you will hear exactly the song you know. Like you, I don't put this one in my top tier, perhaps because of the imbalance. It might have worked better if Kirstie had been in the middle, and Mitch closest to the mic. I actually like the last part better, because it's all about the arrangement and not about an over-played Christmas carol any more.
@@moragcarnie843 I'll try that. But I think Scott and Avi is actually what is distracting me from the classic melody in my mind, haha. I don't think it's a balancing or even arrangement issue, because it sounds wonderfully balanced. I even don't really like that last part. Generally, I would feel like you do with songs. That it's fun that they do a new spin on something overplayed. This is the one song where my brain goes "How DARE they change the original!?" haha. Although, I don't actually think that because I think it's a splendid and clever arrangement.
You have to really listen hard to Mitch, like was said above. All they did was to invert the chords. Somehow your ears will always hear the note on the top with more prevalence. I loved your reaction Nick! You are completely genuine and I love getting to experience your first reactions with you. It's like getting to watch it all over again for the first time. This one and "Hallelujah" I watched on repeat a dozen times (or more). Thank you.
Love this rendition!!! Way back when PTX just started this was their style of videos. You will see others similar to this on your journey of Pentatonix. Great reaction. Also congratulations Nick on making the PTX weekly report this week 🙌👏
Ohh SD, please dont mind the haters 'cause you have your fav member, i love Avii too, and Mitch, and Kirstie, Kevin, Scott and Matt 😁 your great! I'm Enjoying your sarcasm, it's funny😂. Please react to: Papaoutai and Dreams, and 🤣
Sitting here talking to my television. Just wait till they get to the incredible part. Hee Hee. Waiting for it. Now Avi comes in with Sleep.. here we go. Buckle up.
So look. Even though you've watched a lot of their creations, they got you again. I couldn't agree with you more. It gets me every time too. Thank you so much.
Wow, you're right! Avi killed that silence 😂 you crack me up, always bring me a smile thank you. I hear Kirstie more in this too. This is very special, the simple video just adds to how amazing they are.
I broke him y'all! He isn't used to listening to PTX Christmas music all year long, like most of us pentaholics. And Nick, I got my son of a Mitch mug this week. Everyone in my family laughed. Then my daughter asked if it was dishwasher safe so she could get it cleaned up for me. And you got so hit by the PTX 2x4. Now I have to think about what I'm going to request next...how much can I hurt you? And you to live through it.
Happy Xmas. Now that you're in the festive mood a few related videos you need to watch: firstly, Peter Hollens and The Piano Guys singing Angels From the Realms Of Glory. Then The Piano Guys playing O Come, O Come Emmanuel, then Peter Hollens version of the same song (inspired by The Piano Guys version). Then, once you've got into The Piano Guys, try their cover of the Mission Impossible theme tune with Lindsay Stirling.
During Avi's silence, you can see that he is not only singing the music in his mind, he's also directing it. 🤗
When Avi comes in...goosebumps every single time. I truly wish there were more videos featuring Avi and Mitch together...they're magic when they play off each other.
I agree
Same!
They never never lose the ability to stun me into amazement. Dance of Sugar Plum Fairy’s won then their second Grammy
I agree, Avi does the best silence in the world. Epic. :)
One of my two favorite Christmas songs from them, along with O Come, All Ye Faithful. I just find this stunningly gorgeous, the closest they’ve ever come to madrigal singing, which is all about the voices harmonizing and then weaving in and around each other.
Those are my top two also, amazing!
Nah, man, its all about Coventry carol, where avi has a “duet” almost with each of the other four. What they do on that song!
Mitch and Avi bouncing highs and lows off each other is nothing but heavenly
if your going to do Christmas songs outside of Christmas you just have to do "oh come all ye faithful". Even in your wildest dreams you couldn't imagine what they did with the arrangement of what I think ordinarily is a rather morbid tune.

They sing from their heart and soul. There aren't many singers who sing with emotions. But they do. And I love it. Either they're singing happy songs or emotional songs.
According to the sheet music for choirs this arrangement is by Avi, Kevin and Ben Bram. I just love this one.
Yep. Love This!
Also... hello Mavi 😘
There's no doubt the trio perfected this, they are the best!

@@charlottevan_8 yeah... that was beautiful. I cried like a baby
Have you listened to Carol of the Bells on Christmas Under the Stars Special. It is unbelievable and Mitch doesn't breathe practically the whole song!
It's my sublime. Follow up with O Come All Ye Faithful for the other end of the spectrum of their Christmas brilliance.
Edit: go back, listen to Avi's last note (I think you missed it) and take a look at Scott's glance of admiration.

a song sung and renditioned a million times for ever. Yet, somehow, they manage to produce something completely original.

I was laughing when you stopped to give the comment about Mitch and Avi and thought to myself ... just wait, you're going to get your Mitch and Avi fix in just a moment.
If you're not ready for Xmas season, best buckle up, Buttercup! Cuz there are SIX, count 'em, SIX PTX Christmas albums! - Mary. Did You Know. O Come, All Ye Faithful. Over the River. And on and on! Can't wait!
PS. It's never too early for PTX Xmas music! 🎶🎧🎄🎉
Thank you for this great reaction, their version of this song is epic! Most of us don't care what season it is, we're listening to PTX Christmas music throughout the year.. Two of my favs are "What Christmas means to me" and "That's Christmas to me" and I swear with that song I'm literally crying each and every time bc of the video! I hope you'l react to them one day
Love their Christmas songs! My favorite is O' Come All Thee Faithful, they totally made it their own. They are all soooo amazing, take one person out it wouldn't sound the same.
Hello Saucey Dad, For sure you are a confirmed Pentaholic -- listening to PTX Christmas music in May. Well done, you!! Their Christmas music is so special - originals or covers - and this Silent Night is just beautiful. Waiting for more PTX Christmas music reactions from you - O Come All You Faithful, 12 Days of Christmas, Mary Did You Know, Carol of the Bells, Where Are You Christmas, That's Christmas To Me, I Saw Three Ships (from the BYUTV Christmas Special), It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, The First Noel, We Need a Little Christmas, Frosty the Snowman (fro the BYUTV Christmas Special) - the list is long and wonderful. More PTX please.
I am one of those odd ptx-fans that don't go gaga over this one. I mean, it's marvelously and bone-chillingly spectacular in arrangement and performance and just a masterpiece. But I have a hard time listening to it because it changes the classic melody. Apparently my brain does not want the classic and simple version of this to be changed, haha. Which is weird because I usually don't have a problem with them changing up songs. But hey, that's a me issue. Because if I ignore that I know this song already, it's just stunningly beautiful! The fact that this is a live one-take is just... mindblowing! They can do sooooo many things and genres so perfectly! (Also, I laughed at you praising Avis silence!)
Except that Mitch is singing the traditional melody throughout, until Avi does his "sleep, sleep" thing towards the end.. If you concentrate on Mitch's line, instead of Kirstie's slightly over-emphasized descant (difficult to do, I know), then you will hear exactly the song you know. Like you, I don't put this one in my top tier, perhaps because of the imbalance. It might have worked better if Kirstie had been in the middle, and Mitch closest to the mic. I actually like the last part better, because it's all about the arrangement and not about an over-played Christmas carol any more.
@@moragcarnie843 I'll try that. But I think Scott and Avi is actually what is distracting me from the classic melody in my mind, haha. I don't think it's a balancing or even arrangement issue, because it sounds wonderfully balanced. I even don't really like that last part. Generally, I would feel like you do with songs. That it's fun that they do a new spin on something overplayed. This is the one song where my brain goes "How DARE they change the original!?" haha. Although, I don't actually think that because I think it's a splendid and clever arrangement.
You have to really listen hard to Mitch, like was said above. All they did was to invert the chords. Somehow your ears will always hear the note on the top with more prevalence.
I loved your reaction Nick! You are completely genuine and I love getting to experience your first reactions with you. It's like getting to watch it all over again for the first time. This one and "Hallelujah" I watched on repeat a dozen times (or more). Thank you.
They found the essence of this song, which is a soothing lullaby to baby Jesus.
This and Mary Did You Know are my favorite Christmas songs from Pentatonix. Thanks for reacting to this now!
2 of her favorite Christmas albums ever made? Tell saucey sister that they have 6 Chrismas albums. The number's gotta be bigger than 2.
Love this rendition!!! Way back when PTX just started this was their style of videos. You will see others similar to this on your journey of Pentatonix. Great reaction. Also congratulations Nick on making the PTX weekly report this week 🙌👏
Most things they do are amazing and beautiful but sometimes they do magical...this is one of them.
Fabulous rendition. I am totally into your humor! This song is majestic!
Heavenly...or otherworldly.....don't know, but they are a gift of music to my soul.
This gives me total body chills.
Stunning. Breathtaking.
Stunning PTX reactions and comments BY FAV reactor SaucyD❣️😉🫶🏼🤙🏼
Loved your reaction! For someone who doesn’t like Christmas music, you seemed pretty excited! Your expressions are priceless. 😂
This one is insane, goosebumps every single time for me!
Ohh SD, please dont mind the haters 'cause you have your fav member, i love Avii too, and Mitch, and Kirstie, Kevin, Scott and Matt 😁 your great! I'm Enjoying your sarcasm, it's funny😂.
Please react to: Papaoutai and Dreams, and 🤣
Also, ptx Christmas music doesnt count. You can listen to it 365 my friend.
Just beautiful
Sitting here talking to my television. Just wait till they get to the incredible part. Hee Hee. Waiting for it. Now Avi comes in with Sleep.. here we go. Buckle up.
So look. Even though you've watched a lot of their creations, they got you again. I couldn't agree with you more. It gets me every time too. Thank you so much.
Wow, you're right! Avi killed that silence 😂 you crack me up, always bring me a smile thank you. I hear Kirstie more in this too. This is very special, the simple video just adds to how amazing they are.
"He wasn't ready" lol. awesome as always dude.
I'm now a weepy puddle of joy. 5 part harmony 🥰
I broke him y'all! He isn't used to listening to PTX Christmas music all year long, like most of us pentaholics.
And Nick, I got my son of a Mitch mug this week. Everyone in my family laughed. Then my daughter asked if it was dishwasher safe so she could get it cleaned up for me.
And you got so hit by the PTX 2x4. Now I have to think about what I'm going to request next...how much can I hurt you? And you to live through it.
I can't wait to see you with 'O Come all ye Faithful" You won't want to stay seated
I thought when you said blonde bombshell you were talking about scott 😆
Hahah, I mean... fits either way!
Breathtaking. ... 💖💖💖💖💖
You’re never ready! You just have to take the leap! 🤣 Forget the haters!
Just love your reaktions and PTX of course🙌❤️
My favorite too
Happy Xmas. Now that you're in the festive mood a few related videos you need to watch: firstly, Peter Hollens and The Piano Guys singing Angels From the Realms Of Glory. Then The Piano Guys playing O Come, O Come Emmanuel, then Peter Hollens version of the same song (inspired by The Piano Guys version). Then, once you've got into The Piano Guys, try their cover of the Mission Impossible theme tune with Lindsay Stirling.
Christmas music , anytime is good
I kept thinking... Oh just wait Saucey Dad, just wait; it gets better 😊
I love this one 😍🥰
My favorite too Saucy ❤❤❤
This is so everything!
