They took a oscar-winning-song and took it 3 levels up. Who Else can Do this? And as always: Mitch.. What can I say, that wasn't said before? He always blows me away.
I scanned all the comments, and have agreed with the vast majority. No doubt that Kirstie"s lead vocals and the uplifting, wafting tones that Mitch puts forth are, by themselves, enough reasons to suggest that this "cover" (we all know it is an UPGRADE) is legitimate. But how can anyone reviewing this "masterpiece" neglect to comment most positively on how amazing Scott's dual lead vocal was throughout the song. He and Kirstin were pure magic together!!!
There's just something so much more powerful about two people who have known each other almost their whole lives singing this song to each other than two movie actors doing the same. Gaga and Bradley could NEVER duplicate this emotion.
Rob, what a gift to find your videos. It's rare to see a man who is evolved and authentic enough to be moved to tears by expressions of beauty. Many blessings to you, and thank you for sharing your pure, beautiful soul with us.
That's so me after listening to a beautiful, but sad song. I haven't heard of Pentatonix before, but this was really a beautiful and very touching performance. I'm darn sure that Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are a fan of this version.
Mitch with those 'whoa oh oh's' oooh ahhh's' while the background builds just sent chills all over my body and I started crying too. There is no one in this world like them. As usual, of all the covers and even the original, this is my FAV!
what a brilliant choice to add the cello and delay the beatboxing to the 2nd half. Their musical choices are always brilliant and must come from a place where the world of the mind and logic meets the world of emotions and passion. Simply Stunning. Rob, you need stop making everyone cry !
Another great reaction, Rob! The vibe here is almost as if this was an American art song because of Kevin’s cello playing! And can we just talk about Kirstie here a moment? She just KILLED this cover! I LOVE how she’s belting so well now! I, viewing her as a professional musician, feel she has grown the most of all PTX. Don’t get me wrong; EVERYONE is superlative! I just feel that Kirstie was subordinate to the others in the beginning; now she’s on an equal plane in the Trio as Mitch and Scott who have been great from the get-go. I think the stint in “Kinky Boots” really did Kirstin enormous good in building her vocal prowess. Again, thanks, Rob, for a superlative reaction! I can’t wait for July 3rd!
I knew this one would move you. Kevin has such an amazing tone when he plays. They just continue to soar. No one else can touch what they do. Love this group. Thanks for the wonderful reaction Rob!
Thanks for reacting to this, Rob. Your face is so expressive and mirrors the music so well. Is there any song that isn't immediately made better by adding KO and his cello? He has never been better and his masterful play really sets the mood here. It evokes memories of "Dancing on My Own" and the black and white setting reminds me so much of "Say Something", another heart breaker. This song was made for Scott and Kirstie and they kill it, but the real surprise is Mitch. His ethereal riffs in the background floating over the main theme are just..I dunno, words fail me at this point.
Before PTX covered this, I'd never heard the song (heard OF it, of course), and have never seen the movie. Honestly, this is the only version I need. I'm obsessed now. As soon as I heard it, I immediately thought "I can't wait for Rob's reaction to this!"
Always know it's great when Rob gets emotional so precious.💛 🥰 The vibrato in Kirstin's voice on this was a thing of beauty. I really loved the song and the gold accents with the black and white film were perfect!
What I love about pentatonix is that they can take the must simple and everyday song that may not mean much to anyone(not shallow) and make you feel something.i get to see them in concert next Saturday with my husband and it’s our first time seeing them and we’re so excited!! I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!! You and Phil are 2 of my favorites because your reactions are always so genuine!!!!
A beautiful arrangement indeed. As usual, the harmonies, bass and vocal percussion creating that full sound. Then there's Kevin's cello Beyoncé coming through with that stirring counter-melody. 🎻🎵🎶
Rob! I saw PTX on a VIP ticket at the Tacoma Dome on July 3rd! It was sooo wonderful meeting them personally-and I was able to give them the song I wrote for them! Scott and Kirstie promised to listen to my music! They did this live and Kirstie KILLED it! And of course, so did Scott! All these lovely people are so exceptional! Wish I could know them...
Rob, Rob. . . Now I can see to comment, (pardon) the pure fucking emotions on their faces. One cannot fake that flavor of purity. People get caught up with Scott and Kirsty and also Mitch bc they're so dynamic. Butt for me, really it was Kevin. The emotions crossing his face were outstanding to me and if one takes time to really see (so hard to do) it's the body language, also. Wow! Thanks, Rob. I enjoyed watching you, again. As always. And there is really no way to make that sound less creepy.
Wonderful! Like you, I thought I had heard this song enough. Although beautiful, it is unique in its lyrics that can be hard to hear over and over, especially if the person(s) singing is/are not emotionally invested. This is the only, the absolute ONLY cover, that completely makes this song "sing". Bravo!
Even though I've watched this too many times to count, along with every single reaction video for it, for some reason when I watch your reactions it's like I'm rediscovering the videos again for the first time. Thank you Rob, as always, much love from Nova Scotia. 💗💗💗
I really loved this heartful reaction from you especially when Mitch started singing it hit you even more. There's no one like this band. Thank you for reacting.
You are such a great reactor for these kind of videos cause you are so in touch with your emotions and can relate to a song and really give a reason on why it’s so amazing
I like this better than the Lady Gaga and , maybe because this was the first version a hear, but I love the voice fo Scott, Krsintin sing this song with so much emotion, and Micth is always great, and Kevin playing the celllo at the same time that he is making sound with his voice, he is so talent,
Two things. Number one is that 95% (and that number is probably higher) of PTX covers are better than the originals and this is no exception. Number two is that even though I know better there was a part of me that thought that Kirstie and Scott were going to start making out during the video. (And yes I did see the behind the scenes footage of the making of the this video and saw that Kirstie and Scott did act like they were going in for a kiss at one point. But I thought this when I first saw the video.)
As fabulous as they are, the sound is far too clean and artificial sounding. Doesn’t hold a candle to the grit and emotion the original song gives, for me anyways :). Great reaction as always!
Yes, perfection without emotion or grit. Not to be rude but there's a reason someone like Lady Gaga is a superstar and Pentatonix is not. I still love Pentatonix for what they are thought.
If you are looking for the exact same experience of the original, just watch the original. Why do you keep (as ever) putting yourself through a process that you already know the outcome. And then HAVE to tell the rest of us about your bad experience???? The definition of insane is to repeat behavior that is detrimental to your well being. Break the chain.
They took a oscar-winning-song and took it 3 levels up. Who Else can Do this? And as always: Mitch.. What can I say, that wasn't said before? He always blows me away.
I cried when Mitch started. He’s a literal angel. Kirstin was killing the notes and showing so much emotion.
Wow to them All! Wow, wow, wow.
Kirstin killed it! She has grown so much! Her voice is so strong and powerful! I'm so proud!

This is the ONLY version of this song that brought tears to my eyes😭

I didn't believe I am going tear up😥. Gosh. PTX you are the best.

Love your reactions. This group is so amazingly talented. Their performances give me goosebumps! They all killed it!

Pretty much my reaction hands down. They are sooooo good. Mitch killed the "Gaga" part! I loved it so much
Excellent example of Pentatonix talents and love your sensitivity towards the reaction. You’re great man Rob!!❤️👍🏻
What I love about pentatonix is that they can take the must simple and everyday song that may not mean much to anyone(not shallow) and make you feel something.i get to see them in concert next Saturday with my husband and it’s our first time seeing them and we’re so excited!!

Have a great time!!!
Those harmonies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey you are a very nice guy... Hellos from Canada
Ayy fellow Canadian! Up top! ✋
A beautiful arrangement indeed. As usual, the harmonies, bass and vocal percussion creating that full sound. Then there's Kevin's cello Beyoncé coming through with that stirring counter-melody. 🎻🎵🎶
I love you so much Rob! You are precious and have such a beautiful soul!!!
Pentatonix did an amazingly beautiful cover of this song, and as always I love your reactions!!
Oh Rob, I love u! You always make me cry! This song was beautiful to begin with and PTX just took it to a whole new level!
Rob! I saw PTX on a VIP ticket at the Tacoma Dome on July 3rd! It was sooo wonderful meeting them personally-and I was able to give them the song I wrote for them! Scott and Kirstie promised to listen to my music! They did this live and Kirstie KILLED it! And of course, so did Scott! All these lovely people are so exceptional! Wish I could know them...
Wear those tears proudly! Just when you think it's safe to watch another PTX video, they surprise us with an emotional ride.
Mitch part gets me every time ❤️
Hello from England. I’m new to you and reactions. I love watching your reactions. I’m a total pentaholic 😀
Rob, Rob. . . Now I can see to comment, (pardon) the pure fucking emotions on their faces.
One cannot fake that flavor of purity.
People get caught up with Scott and Kirsty and also Mitch bc they're so dynamic.
Butt for me, really it was Kevin. The emotions crossing his face were outstanding to me and if one takes time to really see (so hard to do) it's the body language, also.
Wow! Thanks, Rob. I enjoyed watching you, again. As always.
And there is really no way to make that sound less creepy.
That was absolutely AMAZING!! I enjoyed every moment especially whenever she came into the song. I love what her voice does to their music.
Why are you crying every seconds watching pentatonix clips😂 It's so cute🤣
Wonderful! Like you, I thought I had heard this song enough. Although beautiful, it is unique in its lyrics that can be hard to hear over and over, especially if the person(s) singing is/are not emotionally invested. This is the only, the absolute ONLY cover, that completely makes this song "sing". Bravo!

Already liked video because I know I am going to ❤️it. Such a beautiful rendition of the song
Incredible
I really loved this heartful reaction from you especially when Mitch started singing it hit you even more. There's no one like this band. Thank you for reacting.
What is there not to love about this song and this reactor 🥰🥰🥰
I have been waiting for this reaction since the song came out...I needed someone to cry with me :D Thank you Rob
Ahhhhhh Rob.... A REAL tear jerker!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and a gift to share it with you!!!!! xoxoxo 💜
Love your reaction cuz they're so genuine. ❤
You are such a great reactor for these kind of videos cause you are so in touch with your emotions and can relate to a song and really give a reason on why it’s so amazing
Oh PULEASE...I cried at least least 3 times in one song,
Yes, I am so ready for this!
beat boxing and cello playing at the same time! Kevin man!
Thank you Rob. Good reaction🙏❤️
Didn't care for this song until I heard Pentatonix sing it! Wow
Just liked the video before I even watch it because I knew I was going to anyways
Thank you so much for reacting to this. ❤️
Thanks Rob..watched the movie about 6 times..definitely thought PTX should cover the song! Love you, love them...so perfect!
That is better then the original omg
I know you don’t typically do America’s Got Talent reactions but I would love it so much if you reacted to Kodi Lee’s audition. It’s so moving.
Yes!
Спасибо за реакцию,вы искренний человек! Я тоже очень люблю Pentatonix!
Hahahaha it looks like you're already crying before you watch the video 😂😂😂😂
Greaction as always
Wendy Sorensen is greaction a new word?
Great reaction ❤❤❤❤❤
I like this better than the Lady Gaga and , maybe because this was the first version a hear, but I love the voice fo Scott, Krsintin sing this song with so much emotion, and Micth is always great, and Kevin playing the celllo at the same time that he is making sound with his voice, he is so talent,
your reaction is awesome , their version is awesome, mitch is awesome....everything is just awesome.
Well, good thing you are a pretty crier!❤
💙
Nice... You run tears a lot... Cute
❤️❤️❤️😘
None of them are falling. That is where they fucked up
Brazil hear.
Hey Rob...have you met these kids? I can say kids cuz I'm older than all of you!!! ;-)
Hey friend, emotional reaction! Please! React to "Floor Jansen - Mama" and "Henk Poort & emma - Vivo per lei". Greetings from Argentina! 👏👌
I was rewatching this, because timezones, and it cuts off after a part in the song. I was sad to not hear your final thoughts.
I'm curious why you think it is that some people are sooo effected emotionally by music / movies and some are not ???
Please react to Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling! I think you'll really like it 😊
react to KINJAZ - Fear None :D
Mitch.

Aw his face makes me sad
So much better than Haha/Cooper version
Nope
It's of course her call, but I don't like what Kirstie did with her lips. But LOVE what she did with her voice!
he always cry in all the reactions.... sorry i dont think that emotions are true
As fabulous as they are, the sound is far too clean and artificial sounding. Doesn’t hold a candle to the grit and emotion the original song gives, for me anyways :). Great reaction as always!
Yes, perfection without emotion or grit. Not to be rude but there's a reason someone like Lady Gaga is a superstar and Pentatonix is not. I still love Pentatonix for what they are thought.
There's more testosterone in a triple soy latte than in this blokes whole body.
This doesnt work for me! Voices great as ever but PTX give me not the feelings as i have from the original!
