I expected Scott to sing the lower lead, but I wasn't expecting the traditionally female lead to be sung by Mitch, even though I know damn well he is capable.

omg its me! that's my face. lol that caught me off guard cuz I thought I clicked on one of my reaction videos even though they are all private now. lmao. anyways your reaction is priceless. i was in shock too. lol
This outdoes the original version with Andrea Bocelli/Celine Dion's version both for production (to be fair, they simply stood and sang) but also for vocals. Five people making as much sound as the orchestra and the singers, but also telling the story. Far more inspiring. I love Andrea Bocelli and have for years, but this version upgraded from the original. Scott is singing in Italian and Mitch is actually translating again like the original. And don’t forget they will do this live on tour. One thing especially good about PTX is they never record anything they can’t do live. This was the first song released on their newest album "Evergreen" for the Christmas tour 2021. This is not really a Christmas song but PTX made it work as one with the set.
Much appreciated! I've done hundreds of videos on Pentatonix over the years so feel free to check those out in the playlist on my channel if you'd like! But of course more on the way as well!
Dude, you good? Yea this song has that effect. Its so powerful! PTX really put a special, magical touch to it! Its phenomenal! As far as wardrobe, someone pointed out Mitch's non-winter capris. Lol. Scott nails that Italian & lower voice!! I love eatheir parts! parts!
The original duet version sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli first appeared on Celine's 1998 Christmas album, 'These Are Special Times'. It was also released as a 1999 single and as part of Bocelli's 1999 album 'Sogno'. The song was written for the 1998 animated musical film Quest For Camelot as a solo piece. Dion performed it on the soundtrack as the singing voice of one of the main characters. The soundtrack also included a solo Italian version sung by Bocelli - not sure why since Bocelli was not in the voice cast and there were no Italian characters. "The Prayer" has been covered many times as both solo and duet in the last 23 years. The most famous renditions are the Dion/Bocelli performance and a live version in 2008 by Dion and Josh Groban.
Just a suggestion...please turn up the sound on the video. When I turn up the volume to hear the song and you speak my eardrums get blown out. I had to listen with the volume so low I could barely hear the the song. ( listen back and you'll hear yourself breathing and moaning. LOL) Great reaction!!! This is my favorite one by them. Thank you for reacting to this awesome song. Love the commercial you watched after. LOL 😆 🤣 😂
I enjoyed your reaction, but LOL, Zach, why are we watching the commercial? You reminded me of Sara Bareilles, one of the judges on The Sing-Off, the show where PTX made their debut: "When I get really exciting, I bust out a swear word or two." She had a couple of happy swears for BabyTonics. All of them work constantly to improve their art, and it shows.
lol love me some Sara Bareilles so that's great. I used to not swear at all, I'm a changed man. The commercial was part of me processing what I had just watched :P
Maybe it's just me... I could hear you fine, but the volume on the PTX video seemed too quiet... Just my 2¢... Subbed anyway and looking forward to working my way through your PTX playlist! 🙂

Scott singing in Italian and his lower register sounds so damn operatic!
Kirsten, when interviewed, said this song was on Celine Dion's Christmas album.
“They’re breaking me”. I think many of us feel that way. Great reaction.
Magic just Magic
This song was written for Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli for a Christmas movie. That’s why it’s considered a Christmas song.
omg its me! that's my face. lol that caught me off guard cuz I thought I clicked on one of my reaction videos even though they are all private now. lmao. anyways your reaction is priceless. i was in shock too. lol
Scott singing in Italian. 🔥
It was originally sung by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. He is Italian and sung in his native language.
This outdoes the original version with Andrea Bocelli/Celine Dion's version both for production (to be fair, they simply stood and sang) but also for vocals.

One of PTX most beautiful performances ever. I subbed based on this and look forward to every PTX performance you can react to!

Zach says at the beginning....."This gives me chills....but I'm also cold so....." LOL
In a word: perfect! I love the arrangement and all the musical choices they made just work for me. Thanks for posting.

I haven’t watched your channel in a few years, how’s little AJ?!!
He's doing great, thanks for asking! I want to get him on a video or two at some point for sure because he's super talkative now lol
Maybe it's just me... I could hear you fine, but the volume on the PTX video seemed too quiet... Just my 2¢... Subbed anyway and looking forward to working my way through your PTX playlist! 🙂
Too much profanity!
