Yeah, Mitch is a special breed. The group has been asked several times who they think the best singer in the group is…everyone but Mitch points to Mitch. They realize what a unicorn he is. The fact that they are all amazing singers but choose to sing together is a gift to us all. Love your reactions. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
When Pentatonix won "The Sing Off" and they were on stage celebrating right after the announcement, Kirstie was thinking "This is so great! Now the world will see what Mitch can do!"
@@michaelrunnels7660 Yes, so she said at the time, and obviously she meant it. I wonder what Mitch was thinking, though. He'd been bullied so much for his voice in high school (probably thinly disguised gay bashing, but he seems to have bought into the disguise), and as soon as he escaped high school the bullying started up again, from the producers of _The Sing-Off,_ who didn't disguise it at all; they genuinely thought that Mitch's voice might lead people to wonder about his sexual orientation and that frightened them. Except these were adults in a position of authority who were bullying Mitch now, and bullying the whole band because they were afraid of Mitch's voice. I think at that point Mitch must have been wondering where the next blow would come from. I bet that when the record label reneged on the contract Pentatonix had won Mitch blamed himself for it.
@@margretrosenberg420 One of the many reasons that I have trouble buying into the whole “woke” concept…one of the “wokest” entities today, totally dropped the ball when it could have really made a difference in a young man’s life!!! Well, Mitch and PTX had the last laugh!!! Due in no small part to the incredible strength of one gay boy from Arlington, Texas!!!
@@margretrosenberg420 Bullying is evil. It almost took me out. But the only way to stop it is for the kids to stop it themselves. This generation is starting that attempt. My son is one of the smallest in his class, but he's also the first to stand up for anyone else. He's already stopped several bullies in their tracks. That's the solution. But it's also the most difficult one.
Absolutely 💯!!! Music has gotten me through Many Wonderful Days & Times, but Most importantly, it’s kept me going in my Darkest of Days & Times. It’s been a Long & Rocky journey, for as far back as I remember, which people were amazed at what I actually remembered as a first memory, which was Horrific at Best, but with The Most Darkest of hours, being when my eldest daughter was instantly killed in a freak accident. Music has Never failed me!!!🥰🙏
Scott is a natural baritone but we seldom get to hear it like this. He can and does sing everything from bass to high tenor. They are ALL amazing singers and human beings.
VikingReacts, hello! I subscribed recently and am really enjoying your reactions. I heard you say that you were considering listening to Amazing Grace. YES PLEASE, you will love it!
@@glendaheggen7119 that is something I can’t help with. My ADHD means that I react on impulse very strongly. If I don’t I’ll forget what I wanted to say or I try to hold on to the thought long enough so I won’t be able to focus on the remainder of the video.
@@glendaheggen7119you are perfectly welcome to listen to it uninterrupted on the original video. Reaction videos are meant to include reactions which means interruptions. You keep doing your thing Viking, we love your honest reactions
Mitch's effortless performance is by the grace of being a rare natural born counter tenor (many believe there is only one born to a generation). His talent was not so much gifted to him by God but to the world.
The soul of Freddie Mercury, returned and his name here now... Mitch...lol and that is high praise for a singer, to be considered to even be in Freddie's league, but Mitch is very close From what I've seen so far, Freddie has an edge with the power he could put out from top to bottom of the keyboard with struggle, Mitch can too, I just haven't seen him do it with the fierce power that Freddie had, but that of course does not mean Mitch can't do it, wouldn't surprise me if he could.
In case you haven’t been told yet, Mitch is a counter tenor with a 6-octave range. A truly exquisite voice. Kirstie is a mezzo soprano but rarely hits her upper range. When she does, it’s always something special.
Is a 6-octave range a human ability? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone sing more than a 3-octave range, like Roy Orbison, who I think never got credited with that ability.
@@sharonwells9593 male singers generally fall into three groups: tenor, baritone, and bass. Most tenors can comfortably sing into the alto range. Counter tenors are men who can comfortably sing soprano to operatic soprano after their voices change. I’ve learned of two more since discovering Pentatonix: Dimash Kudaibergen from Kazakhstan and a Ukrainian-Russian singer that goes by Vitas. Both can be found on UA-cam. Dimash is another rabbit hole, with at least a 6-octave range and singing in 16-18 languages. He grew up speaking Kazakh and Russian, is fluent in English, and working on Mandarin. Be sure to turn on closed captions if you decide to check him out. No idea of Dimash is a counter tenor or if he achieved that vocal range through training. By now though, he has extended his upper reach to whistle range and is working to extend his lower range.
I've said before and I'll say it again. When God needs to send his Angels for singing lessons they show up at Pentatonix door. Singers with perfect pitch are rare but Mitch combined it with perfect musical instincts. He's the total package.
What a lovely and genuine reaction. They really don't pull any punches on this one. They go "Oh, are those your heartstrings? I'll just play with those for a while".
You are correct, it NEVER gets old. Thank you for sharing your emotions, Watching it through your eyes was like watching it for the first time for me. SO good!!!
In the recording evergreen video, Kevin asks Kirstie if she's doing the first part. She responds, "no, Mitch is doing that". Kevin nods "Oh, OK", like it's a natural choice for the band to feature their male countertenor on a female part. As others noted, the making video gives insight into the teamwork they bring to arranging, re-arranging, and recording of their work. It's worth 17 ish minutes to watch on your own.
The reason Mitch's solo sounds effortless is that it IS effortless. This song is right in Mitch's sweet spot, the range he's most comfortable with. Yes, when he switches from chest voice to head voice he does it flawlessly, without a hitch, and yes, that comes from training, which by now is ingrained in him, but this is Mitch singing something beautiful for the joy of singing something beautiful. I'm just glad he shares the beauty with us.
The trio is amazing in this as usual. I think sometimes Matt and Kevin get overlooked a bit in songs where they don't have solos. This entire song rests on the bass and beats provided by Matt and KO. They give the piece power, drive, and an anchor. Great reaction.
Avis bass would've been felt here without question... Every song they've done that's slow peaceful and quiet this high Mitch notes are well complimented by Avis deep true bass
Hands down this is definitely my favorite version, they were robbed from The Grammy’s this year, Michael Buble beat them with his album (I like Michael Buble) but this cover is Grammy and Every Award Worthy
I’ve been in love with them since 2011 when they were on Sing Off. Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Their arrangements even in the early days were innovative and stunning. They were 18/19 years old then and Sara Bareillis told them they were going to be stars. She wasn’t wrong. They just get better every year.
I tell this story to every reactor that watches this video. This song literally saved me from severe pain. I had just had surgery for kidney cancer the morning this video came out. I was in so much pain, I couldn't sleep, and I was scared and alone (thanks to COVID). After watching this video, my tears of pain turned to tears of joy and hope, and I was able to get some rest. Best experience of my life was getting to share that story with Pentatonix at their concert this past December. They are miracle workers. Wonderful reaction, you are a good soul. ❤
But now I want to know how you are today. Have you recovered fully? You basically made my point as to why I created the channel in the first place. I was going through depression and burn out and basically used this as musical therapy for myself. It turned out to be so much more as people started to connect and share their stories. I am incredibly grateful for the people that came along and have found something in me that speaks to them! Thank you for that story and let the music keep healing you! Have a good weekend and I hope to see you around!
@SweetSlytherinGirl (Jennifer) HELL YEAH! That is what I wanted to hear! Keep me informed if you don’t mind of course! Seriously, I’m not kidding. I’d give you my phone number if I wouldn’t share it with all of UA-cam :p
@@VikingReacts Your little conversation here is just so touching❣ To share such intimate information in an open channel, where there aren't only "nice" people and comments... It once again proves the immense power of music; healing, connecting, uplifting; no matter what gender, religion, ethnicity... This is my first, but definitively not last visit to your channel (had to subscribe)! I'm a bit surprised by meeting a 'metalhead' showing he's being moved to tears - on the other hand, it's about gorgeous Pentatonix, so maybe not really! 😉 Love your genuine reaction, and also appreciate that you take your time to respond to comments; you truely are a very amiable person. 💖 For me to come across these is a gift (currently dealing with cancer myself), and so much more than one can expect from watching a reaction-video. So thank you so, so much! 👍 I hope you and SweetSlytherinGirlJennifer (and your loved ones) are doing well. Wish you a great and healthy 2024❣🙏🥂🍾🎆 Btw: There must be an opportunity to share your phone number, just not directly on UA-cam... Maybe you can put an email-address in your description box? Then people could contact you, and you can decide whether or not you'll respond? 🤔
What a perfect, amazing, reaction! This is one of their most beautiful arrangements - a masterpiece from start to finish. The whole album it is on, "Evergreen," was up for a Grammy. I was sure this song alone would ensure a win, but not this time (they have 3 Grammys already, though). They also did a little mini-documentary about the making of "Evergreen," which is cool to watch. They had all individually done their parts for this song except Kirstie, who was doing it at the time of filming. The hadn't performed it together, yet. They all sat Kirstie down and played her the almost completed piece and she was so hyped by how good it sounded! Yes, Mitch is incredibly gifted. Back when they were on the Sing Off, 11 or 12 years ago, Kirstie burst into tears because she was so happy that Mitch's voice was going to be heard. I gotta say, I feel the same way, Kirstin! I want everyone on Earth to hear that voice, and this group as a whole. They all have huge ranges, and monster skills! Nobody belts like Kirstie, who just got engaged, is a new Mom, put out an amazing solo album, "Love," and has been on Broadway in "Kinky Boots." Scott has so much soul and is so versatile, just got engaged, put out his first solo song, "Mars" about his fiance, Mark, and he mentors other acapella groups including an all female one, "Citizen Queen," and a children's one, "AcaPop Kids." Kevin is a Renaissance man who can sing, play cello, beatbox, cellobox, play saxaphone, speak several languages including Mandarin fluently, has a Pre-Med degree from Yale, does a faith podcast, is a husband and father, and he puts out solo tracks, too. Matt's voice is so beautiful and warm, and he is a bright shining light of a human being (I don't know where he gets his energy!) and he just got married last year. As for Mitch, he and Scott put out an EP of just the two of them a few years ago under the name "Superfruit," that has a sort of 80's vibe and I listen to it all the time, along with his unique and artistic solo work under the name "Messer." We warned you...this rabbit hole is deeeeeeep!
I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction. I’m always happy to receive the information all of you provide. I get some context, a sense of familiarity and a deeper connection to the performers as well. Thank you for this! And yes… deep indeed. My wife will be pleased as our family “Car playlist” will be better from now on :P
Great reaction, Mitch has that effect on me and thousands of other Pentaholics. His voice reaches into your soul and grabs your heart. The to and fro between Scott and Mitch on this one is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. They really should have got a Grammy for this one. They were nominated for the album it's on, Evergreen, but they missed out to Michael Buble. They woz robbed!
@@VikingReacts From what I understand, The Grammy committee was trying to nominate them for this song, and was sure they would win, but Sony Music, was "late" turning in their paperwork to the Grammy committee. I may be wrong but this is just what I read in some comments somewhere at the time, but then they had to wait a year to reapply, and had to go for the whole album because this song had already been nominated. I'm sorry but Evergreen wasn't their best album, I"m not saying it was bad, just that they put out several that were better, The Prayer just could not pull the rest of the album to the level of the other artist in the running. There was some good songs on the album, just not as good as other albums. I don't know how that whole process works, so I may be completely wrong. I'm just trying to relay some information with the understanding it may be wrong. Personally I think Sony intentionally messed them up. Less likely for another company to poach them the fewer awards they have.
Mitch not only has an effortless beautiful voice and beautiful vibrato but it’s what his voice makes you feel that is truly amazing. A entire group of talented aliens for sure. Skol from a Wisconsin Viking!
Please add 'Prayers for this world' to your list. I really enjoy how you react to their songs. It's like I'm experiencing my own first reaction to the songs.
Welcome to the pentafam, pentaholic. So glad to have you on board. I’ve heard this cover over 100 times and it never gets old. They made a video of the creation of the album this song is on, with a lot of footage making this cover. It’s from their Evergreen album, which was nominated for a Grammy. It is also wonderful to see the group’s love for each other during that video of the making of Evergreen. I recommend it. Thank you so much for your emotional and appreciative reaction. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
Nope, never gets old. Please continue this journey of exceptional music rabbit hole. Thank you for giving credit to Kevin's work in this. Not many people do and they do not realize how much it would be missed if he wasn't there. I have subscribed hoping to follow your journey.
It is much appreciated. Both Kevin’s work and your subscription. I just love seeing people’s comments and connect through music. This channel may be the best decision i ever made aside from marrying my wife :P
This is one of their best. Everyone contributed 110% on this song. There is a video of them doing it live and it’s amazing too. I’ve heard the Bocelli/Dion version many times and always loved it. I’m glad PTX covered it and created this beautiful video. There is a BTS video about them filming it. Hard to believe this is a set because it looks so real. I know you reacted to the Evergreen documentary so you know how it impacted them. Also PTX did a song, Do You Hear What I Hear, with Bocellis. No video but it’s a beautiful rendition of the song. Thank you for the heartfelt reactions. ❤
Yo! Mister Viking! I absolutely LOVE your reaction to this group's incredible performance of "The Prayer!" You definitely appreciate the beauty that is music! And yes, Mitch's tenor vocal is unmatched and surreal! Pentatonix is addictive for the mind, soul and body! Music BRINGS SOULS TOGETHER! Big, big hugs to you mister Viking! 🤗
I love your reactions to these young people! Just so you know, G. O. T. Games , a young British guy who reacts, responds in the same way. Someday when you have time check out his channel and watch him respond to PTX’s “Hallelujah”. Going in to watch it, he didn’t even know they were a cappella. He tears up every single time and I adore him and I like you, too. Great job as usual.❤
Great Mitch slap. LOL. I honestly believe this is Mitch in his most comfortable range. I totally agree he just owns this song. I have some vical training, so I understand what I am hearing. He gives me chills every time.
I don’t hear their individual voices anymore when they sing together (due to Deafness), but maaaann their harmonies are still so beautiful even with it sounding like they singing under water! I have love this group since they won the A Capella voice competition with Avi Kaplan and never have any bad things to say about their music. They are all geniuses ❤🤟🏼 😭🤩
I enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Thank you. They are amazing. There is a Behind The Scenes video for this one which you may find interesting. Their version of "Amazing Grace" is incredible. I look forward to your reaction to it. Mitch's voice will surprise you in that one.
Pure Pentatonix Perfection - in every way. They are all five fantastic, individually and together. Mitch owned this from the start singing with such conviction and clarity, the notes he hits and holes, those runs and vibratos - skilled counter tenor perfection. Scott with his baritone and singing so strongly in Italian. Kirstie with that sharp belting vibrato. Matt on that bass underneath. Kevin with all the percussion and sounds. The solos, the duets, the call and response, the echoes, the wall of sound, the videography. All perfection. Thanks for your reaction. Welcome to our world - we are Pentaholics. More PTX please - only about 250 songs to go - covers and originals, music videos and live performances and just about every genre.
My bf just discovered your channel and just this second showed me this video. An interesting fact about The Prayer, it was originally written with Celine and Andrea in mind for the movie Quest for Camelot(Celine english version Andrea Italian version of the movie). The Prayer was a song in the movie about protecting her daughter while she runs for help. It eventually became a duet with Celine and Andrea. That said, the first few times I watched this, I sobbed. I love watching people react to it and I hadn't cried in awhile and because you did, I did. I do also recommend you try Sound of Silence. (I'm guessing you know but in case you don't:) It's originally by Simon and Garfunkel and Disturbed did a cover of it(which the video is amazing.) Pentatonix also did a cover and while I didn't like it at first, the more reaction videos I watched, I was hooked. Enjoy!
I’ve never ever felt happy about making someone cry but I’ll take this one as a win ;). Music is amazing isn’t it! If it allows you to connect with someone on a emotional level that is most likely on the other side of the globe… what can’t it do? Thank you bf from me for showing my video to you. These are the comments I cherish the most!
I've been with the Pentatonix since they were on The Sing-Off. You're right it never gets old! If you want to hear something that will truly knock your socks off, do "Aha" live at Singapore. But please watch the video first. Will give you some context of what is happening on stage. All five of them are there you just don't see Kevin. He just got done doing a cello solo and is putting his cello away while they are doing the operatic portion.
@@VikingReacts WARNING !!! You should put that song a little down on Your list ... because that Mitch-slap hits You like a ton of bricks. Some other reactors have totally freaked out on this and needed a helmet and some advil 😂🦄🪖
Nah man, when this 1st came out I cried, just from the absolute beauty. Nope doesn't get old LOL. "Aha" live at Singapore Mitch GOES OFF!!!! Loved it man!
Those happy tears are the best, aren’t they? It really doesn’t get old. I could (and I actually do) listen to PTX all day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful reaction. Welcome home Pentaholic!
God given talent. Angelic voices. This must be what eternity in heaven sounds like. Josh Groban performs an equally perfect version. All have truly been blessed to be able to touch our hearts & our souls through their amazing talents. Euphoric 😇
We the Pentaholics welcome you into our ranks. It doesn’t get old being a Pentaholic. I can listen to them daily. I hope you do their cover of Imagine.
the effortlessness is what makes them so special like you said about Mitch. His voice is incredible, all members of PTX are incredible, Mitch just has that extra special something about him.
I saw them in Toronto in August and it blew me away. I’ve never heard such beautiful singing in my life, but they also had us laughing, the whole group is stunning and I’d see them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Pentatonix 💜💜💜
I love your Pentatonix reactions so much- you got a new subscriber! If you want another example of Mitch having the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard, check out their cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. He leads it and sounds like an angel. They have something in nearly every genre, however, (including rap) so if there’s something in particular you’d like to hear, the pentaholics will jump at the chance to give you suggestions!
I do not know how many times I've come back to this reaction to see your amazement and emotion It seems like The firt time Ive seen it too. TY for your awesome reactions.
Pentatonix had a way of Making you FEEL when they sing. Mitch and Kirstin have both made me cry. Even when you cry PTX always makes you feel uplifted 😊 if you haven’t already you should Check out their original song “Sing” ❤❤❤
It was such a pleasure watching you watch this! They do these big songs so well, and, as you said, effortlessly. I can’t sing at all but they always make me want to sing along. Welcome to the family, Amazing Grace and Imagine are spectacular as well, and try Can’t Hold Us and Come Along for something completely different. Peace …
It doesn’t get old. I have watched PTX do this song close to 100 times. Just perfection. Why they didn’t get a Grammy for this is BEYOND me. This song turned me into a Pentaholic the minute I heard it the first of 20 times in a row. I laughed when they were all coming together, and you said “Uh oh…Uh oh”. At that moment, I knew you were a Pentaholic because you could predict the epic wall of sound that was about to commence 😁. Please watch Amazing Grace next- it is in my top 3. Love your reactions!
Thank you for sharing this reaction. I enjoyed feeling everything all over again for this song, which I first heard more than a year ago. The duet in the beginning draws on the long history that Scott and Mitch have, going back to when they were 8 years old and in community children's theater together. They dated briefly in high school, then lived together as friends for years after the group came together as Pentatonix on The Sing-Off. They have been singing together for going on 2 decades, so the natural balance of this performance is not a shock to many of us. But it's still magic! Then when the group comes together, everything good expands geometrically. Kevin's kettledrums are amazing, Matt's bass carries the whole thing, and Kirstin's belting is inspired. Someone downthread mentioned the documentary The Recording of Evergreen. I highly recommend it as well.
Oh I hope you will do Amazing Grace next. It is also amazing. I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to this angelic upgrade of The Prayer. And yes, I believe you have officially become a Pentaholic. Welcome to the fold.
It has most definitely made my list. It may be that or maybe Imagine. I am very curious of what Kevin can do. I’m glad you enjoyed this reaction to this amazing song. Angelic indeed :)
I wanted to say this about Pentatonix: One of the reasons why their fanbase is so loyal and we ride for them so intensely is not ONLY because they are the most amazing singers both individually and together, but because of how they treat their fans. They are so generous and involved with their fandom, they include a VIP session at every show where they do a soundcheck for us, answer questions, and take photos (even in these pandemic times, though they can't get as close to the fans as they would like for safety reasons, they still take that time out of their touring schedule to do that for us), they provide us with so much behind the scenes fun (and this is where you really get to know them which only makes us love them more because you see how down to earth they are)...they are just incredible and I feel blessed that I chose them to Stan way back during The Sing Off days.
I first heard Pentatonix when my girls were teens. I now have great grandkids and am in my 70s. I loved them then and love them even more now. Nobody can do "The Prayer" better than this. It is beautiful and I could listen to it over and over. They are amazing. My daughters loved them too. Their voices blend so beautifully. I haven't listened to them for a while now but intend to revisit the old songs and listen to the ones I haven't heard. Thank you, I love your reactions to them.
Music and musical appreciation knows no age ;). Just as Pentatonix may make me feel like a giddy girl at some points... it transcends, transforms and just takes us places. Isn't that amazing?! See you around! And thanks for your comments! I love going through all of them!
Mitch effects me in exactly the same way. Their music is truly a "thing of beauty" as you said. I agree, it's mindboggling how effortless Mitches singing is. That just proves how much of a gift it is. If you react to their "Making of Evergreen" you will see their process in recording and producing this song, then their reaction at hearing it for the first time. It's a wonder. Thank you for this beautiful reaction.
With a catalog of close to 300 songs, upgrades and originals, you have a LONG way to go!! Warning: it doesn't stop. Their cover of My Heart With You and their original Run To You show cases their perfect harmonies...no bass or beatboxing. There is NO bad song to choose and I love watching you discover them!!!
Welcome to the fold! I LOVE how into the videos you get. That you stop and go back and just EXPERIENCE both the song and the visuals. This was a truly wonderful Mitch-slap. The effortlessness with which Mitch produces these insane performances it a constant source of amazement to us all. You need to do another double feature of their official video for 'Aha!' and the live version of that. I think you've come far enough in your journey as a Pentaholic to be able to truly appreciate that. Also, Avi has a solo career now. You really, really, REALLY need to check out his 'Change on the Rise'. It's actually a very nordic sounding song and Avi gets to just go to town with that deep, buttery voice of his.
That is something you will always get on the channel. This is musical therapy and discovery for me and those that watch. It doesn’t get more real than this though ;)
When Mitch hits his high notes -- I believe that even Celine Dion would shed tears from the beauty and the clarity of his vocal range. I miss Avi Kaplan, the group's original Bass singer -- and have thoroughly enjoyed hearing Kevin's (listed as Cello) "beats" and "sounds". This a Capella group have enthralled me since the first time I heard them sing "Little Drummer Boy" a few Christmases ago. Now my favourite song is "Mary Did You Know?" which was sung in a natural grotto-like cave formation. I absolutely LOVE this group. Their songs make me cry as they fill me with a plethora of emotions! 💖💕
It Really never gets old. Whether I’m watching their channel or watching someone reacting to their songs it’s a beautiful experience and I can watch them over and over again. 😊👍
I can't wait for your next reaction. You have such a pure, almost child like, heartfelt response to Pentatonix. It makes me feel so good about them. I am excited to see you react to both Amazing Grace and Imagine. Both will blow you away in different ways. I'm glad you have become one of us.
I feel the same strong emotional pull that is noted by so many. The layered richness of the complex harmonies give me chills every time. Each of the vocalists have wonderful instruments and display great emotion is their singing. This song is presented as a prayer for all of us. Praise to God!
Interestingly, Andrea Bocelli (and kids) and Pentatonix did a very nice version of Do You Hear What I Hear this past Christmas. Audio only but a good one to listen to.
Yeah, Mitch is a special breed. The group has been asked several times who they think the best singer in the group is…everyone but Mitch points to Mitch. They realize what a unicorn he is. The fact that they are all amazing singers but choose to sing together is a gift to us all. Love your reactions. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
And humble to boot :). Thanks for the compliment!

Absolutely stunning! I wasn’t expecting that at all!

Mitch's effortless performance is by the grace of being a rare natural born counter tenor (many believe there is only one born to a generation). His talent was not so much gifted to him by God but to the world.
Perfect way to put to that :)
The soul of Freddie Mercury, returned and his name here now... Mitch...lol and that is high praise for a singer, to be considered to even be in Freddie's league, but Mitch is very close From what I've seen so far, Freddie has an edge with the power he could put out from top to bottom of the keyboard with struggle, Mitch can too, I just haven't seen him do it with the fierce power that Freddie had, but that of course does not mean Mitch can't do it, wouldn't surprise me if he could.
@@kelleeholmes9448 Mitch's lower ranger suffers a little, but he can still do some of it nicely...their cover of Take on me :P
Mitch actually calls himself a male soprano. No matter what you call him, he is beyond amazing!
His voice is so smooth!? And how those three found each other all those hears ago when bare!y teens? Just to make these perfect gifts to us all?
In case you haven’t been told yet, Mitch is a counter tenor with a 6-octave range. A truly exquisite voice. Kirstie is a mezzo soprano but rarely hits her upper range. When she does, it’s always something special.
Watching you regularly and enjoying each time... Thank you!
Is a 6-octave range a human ability? I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone sing more than a 3-octave range, like Roy Orbison, who I think never got credited with that ability.
Mariah Carey has a five octave range that goes into a “siren” sound.
What is a counter tenor?
@@sharonwells9593 male singers generally fall into three groups: tenor, baritone, and bass. Most tenors can comfortably sing into the alto range. Counter tenors are men who can comfortably sing soprano to operatic soprano after their voices change.
I’ve learned of two more since discovering Pentatonix: Dimash Kudaibergen from Kazakhstan and a Ukrainian-Russian singer that goes by Vitas. Both can be found on UA-cam.
Dimash is another rabbit hole, with at least a 6-octave range and singing in 16-18 languages. He grew up speaking Kazakh and Russian, is fluent in English, and working on Mandarin. Be sure to turn on closed captions if you decide to check him out.
No idea of Dimash is a counter tenor or if he achieved that vocal range through training. By now though, he has extended his upper reach to whistle range and is working to extend his lower range.
I've said before and I'll say it again. When God needs to send his Angels for singing lessons they show up at Pentatonix door. Singers with perfect pitch are rare but Mitch combined it with perfect musical instincts. He's the total package.
Several of their songs are anointed by the Spirit of God!!
It's a beautiful thing!! ✝️💜
@@debbiehall9396 and very rare in this day and time 🙏🏻😇
I loved your reactions and comments to Pentatonix " Prayer"❤❤
I’m happy you liked it :)
What a lovely and genuine reaction. They really don't pull any punches on this one. They go "Oh, are those your heartstrings? I'll just play with those for a while".
They can play with them all they want ;). I am happy to see that you enjoyed the reaction! Thanks for watching!
You are correct, it NEVER gets old. Thank you for sharing your emotions, Watching it through your eyes was like watching it for the first time for me. SO good!!!
These are the comments I like the best. Glad you enjoyed it!
In the recording evergreen video, Kevin asks Kirstie if she's doing the first part. She responds, "no, Mitch is doing that". Kevin nods "Oh, OK", like it's a natural choice for the band to feature their male countertenor on a female part. As others noted, the making video gives insight into the teamwork they bring to arranging, re-arranging, and recording of their work. It's worth 17 ish minutes to watch on your own.
Dude... intense one. When Kirstie belts it is something isn't it? I've heard this a million times but it never gets old. PTX at their best. ☮
I may have seen this video around 20 times by now. Still get tears in my eyes and insane goosebumps!
I always scroll to se if ANYONE mentions how amazing Kirstie was in this, so thank you for being the one ❤
@themightierpencil Same! All props to Scott and Mitch but Kirstie's part is exactly what I wanted from this song. The Pocket Valkyrie strikes again!
The reason Mitch's solo sounds effortless is that it IS effortless. This song is right in Mitch's sweet spot, the range he's most comfortable with. Yes, when he switches from chest voice to head voice he does it flawlessly, without a hitch, and yes, that comes from training, which by now is ingrained in him, but this is Mitch singing something beautiful for the joy of singing something beautiful. I'm just glad he shares the beauty with us.
Awesome and Mitch's voice is unbelievable
Great Reaction -- No matter what kind of music we prefer we all can recognize "greatness."
Amen!
It is so beautiful, it's almost .... painful. Like, ripping the breath out of your lungs painful. Like you almost can't breathe. It's that impactful.
I've noticed :P. Good way to put that into words actually...
The trio is amazing in this as usual. I think sometimes Matt and Kevin get overlooked a bit in songs where they don't have solos. This entire song rests on the bass and beats provided by Matt and KO. They give the piece power, drive, and an anchor. Great reaction.
Avis bass would've been felt here without question... Every song they've done that's slow peaceful and quiet this high Mitch notes are well complimented by Avis deep true bass
Hands down this is definitely my favorite version, they were robbed from The Grammy’s this year, Michael Buble beat them with his album (I like Michael Buble) but this cover is Grammy and Every Award Worthy
I’ve been in love with them since 2011 when they were on Sing Off. Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Their arrangements even in the early days were innovative and stunning. They were 18/19 years old then and Sara Bareillis told them they were going to be stars. She wasn’t wrong. They just get better every year.
No it never gets old. They are just amazing. Speaking of Amazing.. Amazing Grace is awesome by them as well. As everything is.
Absolutely ❤.
Soon to come as well :)
I tell this story to every reactor that watches this video. This song literally saved me from severe pain. I had just had surgery for kidney cancer the morning this video came out. I was in so much pain, I couldn't sleep, and I was scared and alone (thanks to COVID). After watching this video, my tears of pain turned to tears of joy and hope, and I was able to get some rest. Best experience of my life was getting to share that story with Pentatonix at their concert this past December. They are miracle workers. Wonderful reaction, you are a good soul. ❤
But now I want to know how you are today. Have you recovered fully?
You basically made my point as to why I created the channel in the first place. I was going through depression and burn out and basically used this as musical therapy for myself. It turned out to be so much more as people started to connect and share their stories. I am incredibly grateful for the people that came along and have found something in me that speaks to them!
Thank you for that story and let the music keep healing you! Have a good weekend and I hope to see you around!
@@VikingReacts Cancer free for one year as of last October! I go back in May for my next scans and check up to make sure nothing has returned.
@SweetSlytherinGirl (Jennifer) HELL YEAH! That is what I wanted to hear! Keep me informed if you don’t mind of course! Seriously, I’m not kidding. I’d give you my phone number if I wouldn’t share it with all of UA-cam :p
@@VikingReacts Your little conversation here is just so touching❣ To share such intimate information in an open channel, where there aren't only "nice" people and comments... It once again proves the immense power of music; healing, connecting, uplifting; no matter what gender, religion, ethnicity...
This is my first, but definitively not last visit to your channel (had to subscribe)! I'm a bit surprised by meeting a 'metalhead' showing he's being moved to tears - on the other hand, it's about gorgeous Pentatonix, so maybe not really! 😉 Love your genuine reaction, and also appreciate that you take your time to respond to comments; you truely are a very amiable person. 💖 For me to come across these is a gift (currently dealing with cancer myself), and so much more than one can expect from watching a reaction-video. So thank you so, so much! 👍
I hope you and SweetSlytherinGirlJennifer (and your loved ones) are doing well. Wish you a great and healthy 2024❣🙏🥂🍾🎆
Btw: There must be an opportunity to share your phone number, just not directly on UA-cam... Maybe you can put an email-address in your description box? Then people could contact you, and you can decide whether or not you'll respond? 🤔
What a perfect, amazing, reaction! This is one of their most beautiful arrangements - a masterpiece from start to finish. The whole album it is on, "Evergreen," was up for a Grammy. I was sure this song alone would ensure a win, but not this time (they have 3 Grammys already, though). They also did a little mini-documentary about the making of "Evergreen," which is cool to watch. They had all individually done their parts for this song except Kirstie, who was doing it at the time of filming. The hadn't performed it together, yet. They all sat Kirstie down and played her the almost completed piece and she was so hyped by how good it sounded! Yes, Mitch is incredibly gifted. Back when they were on the Sing Off, 11 or 12 years ago, Kirstie burst into tears because she was so happy that Mitch's voice was going to be heard. I gotta say, I feel the same way, Kirstin! I want everyone on Earth to hear that voice, and this group as a whole. They all have huge ranges, and monster skills! Nobody belts like Kirstie, who just got engaged, is a new Mom, put out an amazing solo album, "Love," and has been on Broadway in "Kinky Boots." Scott has so much soul and is so versatile, just got engaged, put out his first solo song, "Mars" about his fiance, Mark, and he mentors other acapella groups including an all female one, "Citizen Queen," and a children's one, "AcaPop Kids." Kevin is a Renaissance man who can sing, play cello, beatbox, cellobox, play saxaphone, speak several languages including Mandarin fluently, has a Pre-Med degree from Yale, does a faith podcast, is a husband and father, and he puts out solo tracks, too. Matt's voice is so beautiful and warm, and he is a bright shining light of a human being (I don't know where he gets his energy!) and he just got married last year. As for Mitch, he and Scott put out an EP of just the two of them a few years ago under the name "Superfruit," that has a sort of 80's vibe and I listen to it all the time, along with his unique and artistic solo work under the name "Messer." We warned you...this rabbit hole is deeeeeeep!
I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction. I’m always happy to receive the information all of you provide. I get some context, a sense of familiarity and a deeper connection to the performers as well. Thank you for this! And yes… deep indeed. My wife will be pleased as our family “Car playlist” will be better from now on :P
Great reaction, Mitch has that effect on me and thousands of other Pentaholics. His voice reaches into your soul and grabs your heart. The to and fro between Scott and Mitch on this one is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. They really should have got a Grammy for this one. They were nominated for the album it's on, Evergreen, but they missed out to Michael Buble. They woz robbed!
Yeah, that absolutely did it for me :P I was in absolute awe of this
@@VikingReacts From what I understand, The Grammy committee was trying to nominate them for this song, and was sure they would win, but Sony Music, was "late" turning in their paperwork to the Grammy committee. I may be wrong but this is just what I read in some comments somewhere at the time, but then they had to wait a year to reapply, and had to go for the whole album because this song had already been nominated. I'm sorry but Evergreen wasn't their best album, I"m not saying it was bad, just that they put out several that were better, The Prayer just could not pull the rest of the album to the level of the other artist in the running. There was some good songs on the album, just not as good as other albums. I don't know how that whole process works, so I may be completely wrong. I'm just trying to relay some information with the understanding it may be wrong. Personally I think Sony intentionally messed them up. Less likely for another company to poach them the fewer awards they have.
100% robbed. And I like Bublé, but they clearly should have won that.

Mitch not only has an effortless beautiful voice and beautiful vibrato but it’s what his voice makes you feel that is truly amazing. A entire group of talented aliens for sure. Skol from a Wisconsin Viking!
Skol from the Netherlands! I agree.. they know how to grab your soul and leave you breathless...
Mitch always makes me weep. And when the others join in, divine!
Such amazing talent right?
He sounds like a girl
What is the purpose of Kevin huffing and giving those sounds you can barely hear
When other singers are belting, Mitch raises an eyebrow and just sings. 😘 On old Pentatonix original (with Avi ❤) is Run to you. Oh. My. Word.
At 20 seconds what they are doing is giving you a blanket and tissues because your world is about to be ROCKED
Mitch's counter tenor voice gets people every time. He is truly a special talent. They all have wonderful voices that compliment each other.
Please add 'Prayers for this world' to your list. I really enjoy how you react to their songs. It's like I'm experiencing my own first reaction to the songs.
Added! Glad I get to add a bit to your personal experience of these songs! That just makes me smile :)
Welcome to the pentafam, pentaholic. So glad to have you on board. I’ve heard this cover over 100 times and it never gets old. They made a video of the creation of the album this song is on, with a lot of footage making this cover. It’s from their Evergreen album, which was nominated for a Grammy. It is also wonderful to see the group’s love for each other during that video of the making of Evergreen. I recommend it. Thank you so much for your emotional and appreciative reaction. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions.
Glad to be a part of it :). More to come! I will check that video!
@@VikingReacts Please react to the making of Evergreen video! We would all LOVE to see you react to it!
Nope, never gets old. Please continue this journey of exceptional music rabbit hole. Thank you for giving credit to Kevin's work in this. Not many people do and they do not realize how much it would be missed if he wasn't there. I have subscribed hoping to follow your journey.
It is much appreciated. Both Kevin’s work and your subscription. I just love seeing people’s comments and connect through music. This channel may be the best decision i ever made aside from marrying my wife :P
He is as effortless on the live shows as well
I’ve noticed when i did Daft Punk :). Amazing gift!
Showed to the party late as usual... heartfelt reactions are my favorite. Had me crying 😢
I really enjoy your reactions. Stay true to yourself!
Early or late doesn't matter as long as you enjoyed :). Next time... bring tissues :P
@VikingReacts always close at hand, my friend!😉
PTX's version of this song brings me to tears EVERY time!!! Perfect! So moving!
Agreed! Emotion put into music...
This is one of their best. Everyone contributed 110% on this song. There is a video of them doing it live and it’s amazing too. I’ve heard the Bocelli/Dion version many times and always loved it. I’m glad PTX covered it and created this beautiful video. There is a BTS video about them filming it. Hard to believe this is a set because it looks so real. I know you reacted to the Evergreen documentary so you know how it impacted them.
Also PTX did a song, Do You Hear What I Hear, with Bocellis. No video but it’s a beautiful rendition of the song.
Thank you for the heartfelt reactions. ❤
Yo! Mister Viking! I absolutely LOVE your reaction to this group's incredible performance of "The Prayer!" You definitely appreciate the beauty that is music! And yes, Mitch's tenor vocal is unmatched and surreal! Pentatonix is addictive for the mind, soul and body! Music BRINGS SOULS TOGETHER!
Big, big hugs to you mister Viking! 🤗
How to respond to someone who seems to get you perfectly? ;)
Big hugs right back to ya!
@@VikingReacts 🤗🥰
Scott's voice just melts me. I simply enjoy listening to him.
So beautiful, i would say their best! And they’ve had a lot of great ones
I love your reactions to these young people! Just so you know, G. O. T. Games , a young British guy who reacts, responds in the same way. Someday when you have time check out his channel and watch him respond to PTX’s “Hallelujah”. Going in to watch it, he didn’t even know they were a cappella. He tears up every single time and I adore him and I like you, too. Great job as usual.❤
Can't help it... I love Scott.... every one of them are angels.
Your reaction, and honest emotion is beautiful....
Their music, together, is no less than Angelic Healing.
Pentatonix is simply STUNNING ❤️🔥🙌
And so are you all... I have a hard time trying to keep up with all the comments :P
Great Mitch slap. LOL. I honestly believe this is Mitch in his most comfortable range. I totally agree he just owns this song. I have some vical training, so I understand what I am hearing. He gives me chills every time.
I don’t hear their individual voices anymore when they sing together (due to Deafness), but maaaann their harmonies are still so beautiful even with it sounding like they singing under water! I have love this group since they won the A Capella voice competition with Avi Kaplan and never have any bad things to say about their music. They are all geniuses ❤🤟🏼 😭🤩
I enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Thank you. They are amazing. There is a Behind The Scenes video for this one which you may find interesting. Their version of "Amazing Grace" is incredible. I look forward to your reaction to it. Mitch's voice will surprise you in that one.
It’s amazing the emotions this group pulls out of us who listen to their music 🎶
The incomparable 'wall of sound'...
And I slammed into it :P
Pure Pentatonix Perfection - in every way. They are all five fantastic, individually and together. Mitch owned this from the start singing with such conviction and clarity, the notes he hits and holes, those runs and vibratos - skilled counter tenor perfection. Scott with his baritone and singing so strongly in Italian. Kirstie with that sharp belting vibrato. Matt on that bass underneath. Kevin with all the percussion and sounds. The solos, the duets, the call and response, the echoes, the wall of sound, the videography. All perfection. Thanks for your reaction. Welcome to our world - we are Pentaholics. More PTX please - only about 250 songs to go - covers and originals, music videos and live performances and just about every genre.
My bf just discovered your channel and just this second showed me this video. An interesting fact about The Prayer, it was originally written with Celine and Andrea in mind for the movie Quest for Camelot(Celine english version Andrea Italian version of the movie). The Prayer was a song in the movie about protecting her daughter while she runs for help. It eventually became a duet with Celine and Andrea.
That said, the first few times I watched this, I sobbed. I love watching people react to it and I hadn't cried in awhile and because you did, I did. I do also recommend you try Sound of Silence. (I'm guessing you know but in case you don't:) It's originally by Simon and Garfunkel and Disturbed did a cover of it(which the video is amazing.) Pentatonix also did a cover and while I didn't like it at first, the more reaction videos I watched, I was hooked. Enjoy!
I’ve never ever felt happy about making someone cry but I’ll take this one as a win ;). Music is amazing isn’t it! If it allows you to connect with someone on a emotional level that is most likely on the other side of the globe… what can’t it do?
Thank you bf from me for showing my video to you. These are the comments I cherish the most!
You at 4:07 - *pauses* I know what’s coming.
Me - No. no you seriously do not.
Me *2 minutes later* - he wasn’t ready. 😢😅
I've been with the Pentatonix since they were on The Sing-Off. You're right it never gets old! If you want to hear something that will truly knock your socks off, do "Aha" live at Singapore. But please watch the video first. Will give you some context of what is happening on stage. All five of them are there you just don't see Kevin. He just got done doing a cello solo and is putting his cello away while they are doing the operatic portion.
I shall add it to my list of songs :)
@@VikingReacts WARNING !!!
You should put that song a little down on Your list ... because that Mitch-slap hits You like a ton of bricks. Some other reactors have totally freaked out on this and needed a helmet and some advil 😂🦄🪖
Noted :P
One or two reactors have done a double feature. They watched the official video then Singapore. Completely up to you though.
This is my absolute FAVORITE rendition/cover of this song - it's just PERFECTION. It never fails to move me to tears, as well... it's just sublime!
ha wonderful reaction, love it when a real Metal Man can have tears of joy :)
And not ashamed to admit it! Thanks for the compliment. I am glad you enjoyed it!
Nah man, when this 1st came out I cried, just from the absolute beauty. Nope doesn't get old LOL. "Aha" live at Singapore Mitch GOES OFF!!!! Loved it man!
Those happy tears are the best, aren’t they? It really doesn’t get old. I could (and I actually do) listen to PTX all day. Thanks for sharing your beautiful reaction. Welcome home Pentaholic!
I had to watch this video 12 times before going on. 😊 Mitch didn't even hit his highest note.
God given talent. Angelic voices. This must be what eternity in heaven sounds like. Josh Groban performs an equally perfect version. All have truly been blessed to be able to touch our hearts & our souls through their amazing talents. Euphoric 😇
Brother, me too man. Seriously they get me everytime. Special is the only thing you can say.
I love your "realness"..... I subscribed today. Thank you!
You are NOT alone.... I connect EVERY👏. SINGLE👏. EMOTION👏. to music!! 👏
I swear, Mitch has the most beautiful countertenor voice I've ever heard.
We the Pentaholics welcome you into our ranks. It doesn’t get old being a Pentaholic. I can listen to them daily. I hope you do their cover of Imagine.
the effortlessness is what makes them so special like you said about Mitch. His voice is incredible, all members of PTX are incredible, Mitch just has that extra special something about him.
I saw them in Toronto in August and it blew me away. I’ve never heard such beautiful singing in my life, but they also had us laughing, the whole group is stunning and I’d see them again in a heartbeat. Thank you Pentatonix 💜💜💜
Mitch has one of the most beautiful and unique voices I’ve ever heard.
Such a sweet reaction ❤
I cry when listening to amazing singing. Love this song so much!
I love your Pentatonix reactions so much- you got a new subscriber! If you want another example of Mitch having the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard, check out their cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. He leads it and sounds like an angel. They have something in nearly every genre, however, (including rap) so if there’s something in particular you’d like to hear, the pentaholics will jump at the chance to give you suggestions!
I do not know how many times I've come back to this reaction to see your amazement and emotion It seems like The firt time Ive seen it too. TY for your awesome reactions.
Pentatonix had a way of
Making you FEEL when they sing. Mitch and Kirstin have both made me cry. Even when you cry PTX always makes you feel uplifted 😊 if you haven’t already you should
Check out their original song “Sing” ❤❤❤
Beautiful reaction. You really need to do the Sing Off journey. It's amazing and you get the original Mitch Slap.
It was such a pleasure watching you watch this! They do these big songs so well, and, as you said, effortlessly. I can’t sing at all but they always make me want to sing along. Welcome to the family, Amazing Grace and Imagine are spectacular as well, and try Can’t Hold Us and Come Along for something completely different. Peace …
It shows that you really FEEL the music. It hits me the same way. Definitely do Imagine, that one especially gets me every time.
Feel it... yes for sure. Through my body straight into my soul and up...
Congratulations on becoming one of us! We are very happy here.
It doesn’t get old. I have watched PTX do this song close to 100 times. Just perfection. Why they didn’t get a Grammy for this is BEYOND me. This song turned me into a Pentaholic the minute I heard it the first of 20 times in a row. I laughed when they were all coming together, and you said “Uh oh…Uh oh”. At that moment, I knew you were a Pentaholic because you could predict the epic wall of sound that was about to commence 😁. Please watch Amazing Grace next- it is in my top 3. Love your reactions!
Thank you for sharing this reaction. I enjoyed feeling everything all over again for this song, which I first heard more than a year ago. The duet in the beginning draws on the long history that Scott and Mitch have, going back to when they were 8 years old and in community children's theater together. They dated briefly in high school, then lived together as friends for years after the group came together as Pentatonix on The Sing-Off. They have been singing together for going on 2 decades, so the natural balance of this performance is not a shock to many of us. But it's still magic! Then when the group comes together, everything good expands geometrically. Kevin's kettledrums are amazing, Matt's bass carries the whole thing, and Kirstin's belting is inspired. Someone downthread mentioned the documentary The Recording of Evergreen. I highly recommend it as well.
Wonderful and heartfelt reaction. Thank you.
My absolute pleasure. What I feel is what you get. No shame in manly tears. If there is a stigma on them… I don’t care
Oh I hope you will do Amazing Grace next. It is also amazing. I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to this angelic upgrade of The Prayer. And yes, I believe you have officially become a Pentaholic. Welcome to the fold.
It has most definitely made my list. It may be that or maybe Imagine. I am very curious of what Kevin can do. I’m glad you enjoyed this reaction to this amazing song. Angelic indeed :)
I wanted to say this about Pentatonix: One of the reasons why their fanbase is so loyal and we ride for them so intensely is not ONLY because they are the most amazing singers both individually and together, but because of how they treat their fans. They are so generous and involved with their fandom, they include a VIP session at every show where they do a soundcheck for us, answer questions, and take photos (even in these pandemic times, though they can't get as close to the fans as they would like for safety reasons, they still take that time out of their touring schedule to do that for us), they provide us with so much behind the scenes fun (and this is where you really get to know them which only makes us love them more because you see how down to earth they are)...they are just incredible and I feel blessed that I chose them to Stan way back during The Sing Off days.
I cry every time I watch this !!! PTX is full of caring, love and they make every song special, so much emotion !!! Thank you. ❤😂 I subscribed.
I get misty eyed every time I hear Pentatonix sing this song! Same with Hallelujah & Amazing Grace!! Angels on earth!!
I first heard Pentatonix when my girls were teens. I now have great grandkids and am in my 70s. I loved them then and love them even more now. Nobody can do "The Prayer" better than this. It is beautiful and I could listen to it over and over. They are amazing. My daughters loved them too. Their voices blend so beautifully. I haven't listened to them for a while now but intend to revisit the old songs and listen to the ones I haven't heard. Thank you, I love your reactions to them.
Music and musical appreciation knows no age ;). Just as Pentatonix may make me feel like a giddy girl at some points... it transcends, transforms and just takes us places. Isn't that amazing?!
See you around! And thanks for your comments! I love going through all of them!
They were only formed in 2011!!! You can’t have gine from having teenagers to great grandchildren in 12 years!
Mitch effects me in exactly the same way. Their music is truly a "thing of beauty" as you said. I agree, it's mindboggling how effortless Mitches singing is. That just proves how much of a gift it is. If you react to their "Making of Evergreen" you will see their process in recording and producing this song, then their reaction at hearing it for the first time. It's a wonder. Thank you for this beautiful reaction.
Ohhh, I am looking forward to this!
Me too!
My favorite song! They are phenomenal!!!
Gives me goosebumps absolutely stunning
With a catalog of close to 300 songs, upgrades and originals, you have a LONG way to go!! Warning: it doesn't stop. Their cover of My Heart With You and their original Run To You show cases their perfect harmonies...no bass or beatboxing. There is NO bad song to choose and I love watching you discover them!!!
June 1st, 2024 👋 British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Pentatonix does amazing once again 👏
Love them 💕
Thank you for this 🎶
Loving your reaction ❤
God Mitch is an angel! And Scott! Good Lord his voice is so powerful!!
It's OK man, we ALL react this way 😊.Love your videos ❤
Thank you so much! I am glad to find likeminded people in the comments :)
Welcome to the fold! I LOVE how into the videos you get. That you stop and go back and just EXPERIENCE both the song and the visuals. This was a truly wonderful Mitch-slap. The effortlessness with which Mitch produces these insane performances it a constant source of amazement to us all.
You need to do another double feature of their official video for 'Aha!' and the live version of that. I think you've come far enough in your journey as a Pentaholic to be able to truly appreciate that.
Also, Avi has a solo career now. You really, really, REALLY need to check out his 'Change on the Rise'. It's actually a very nordic sounding song and Avi gets to just go to town with that deep, buttery voice of his.
Never gets old, Thank you for your realness.
That is something you will always get on the channel. This is musical therapy and discovery for me and those that watch. It doesn’t get more real than this though ;)
Pentatonix is the BEST group of all time
When Mitch hits his high notes -- I believe that even
Celine Dion would shed tears from the beauty and the
clarity of his vocal range. I miss Avi Kaplan, the group's
original Bass singer -- and have thoroughly enjoyed hearing
Kevin's (listed as Cello) "beats" and "sounds". This a Capella
group have enthralled me since the first time I heard them
sing "Little Drummer Boy" a few Christmases ago. Now my
favourite song is "Mary Did You Know?" which was sung in
a natural grotto-like cave formation.
I absolutely LOVE this group. Their songs make me cry as
they fill me with a plethora of emotions! 💖💕
It Really never gets old. Whether I’m watching their channel or watching someone reacting to their songs it’s a beautiful experience and I can watch them over and over again. 😊👍
Imagine is amazing. It will make you cry or at least very emotional.
I can't wait for your next reaction. You have such a pure, almost child like, heartfelt response to Pentatonix. It makes me feel so good about them. I am excited to see you react to both Amazing Grace and Imagine. Both will blow you away in different ways. I'm glad you have become one of us.
I feel the same strong emotional pull that is noted by so many. The layered richness of the complex harmonies give me chills every time. Each of the vocalists have wonderful instruments and display great emotion is their singing. This song is presented as a prayer for all of us. Praise to God!
Interestingly, Andrea Bocelli (and kids) and Pentatonix did a very nice version of Do You Hear What I Hear this past Christmas. Audio only but a good one to listen to.
A good one to check out I guess. I’ll check it :)
