@@RetroQuinReacts I think you'll find that with Pentatonix, "favorite" is a moving target. Whatever song you're listening to right now is likely to be your favorite.
I love that the only thing you can do is giggle and shake your head when you hear Mitch. It's almost humorously absurd how good he is, isn't it? Another awesome reaction!
@@RetroQuinReacts definitely a must do before next Christmas It is what every holiday or Church song should inspire as a feeling PTX fans are fine with Christmas any time
Scott is singing in Italian. One of the most famous versions of this song was performed by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, who is an Italian opera singer, so that is where that came from. I really enjoyed your reaction to this gorgeous cover!
This is why there are some songs and/or performances that we try not to recommend too early in a reactor's journey. I saw a reaction a few weeks ago to "Bohemian Rhapsody." It was the reactor's first exposure to Pentatonix, and he watched it because one of his subscribers had recommended it to him. With no warnings. It was almost brutal.
I listened and watched PTX for a year and a half and then FINALLY seen them live this past summer. The SECOND Mitch started singing I cried, like tears falling out my eyes lol It was like my brain couldn’t comprehend something so beautiful sounding
Great reaction! If this is your new favorite Christmas song, I cannot wait to see what you say about O Holy Night and other Christmas songs of theirs!!!!
You will never be ready for them and they will continue to surprise you every time you see something new. Thank you for sharing your reaction to this great gift to humanity. Much love from South Africa!
Scott is singing in Italian in that one portion of the song, but Mitch's lyrics are not a translation. In technical musical terms what they are doing is "call and answer"... one of the singers sings a line, the other sings the next line. We were all wishing that this would win another Grammy because it sooooo deserved it. Unfortunately, someone left it too late to enter it into the competition.
This is the song that turned me into an instant Pentaholic (and Mitchaholic 😊). Mitch’s voice is otherworldly for sure, and I never get tired of it or cease to be amazed by it. Although, I can say that about each member! If you want to hear a 🤯 performance of this live (just for your own joy, not necessarily as a reaction), here is a link from when they did it on The Morning Show. It is unbelievable. ua-cam.com/video/i5xMpjBLLuc/v-deo.htmlsi=vh2lSxQPxlTYwlmX
I love your reactions to my favorite group. And i agree hpw talented and amazing they are, if ypu get a chance go see them live, and really be Amazed, perfect. . . Kerp having fun. .
It's called the Mitch slap.... You can't brace yourself for it, it just happens. Just enjoy the "slap" rewind and listen again, and again....and again.....Then watch him do it live in concert, well all of them do this live and it sounds just as good....😂 To hear the ultimate PTX wall of sound check out Imagine, Oh Holy Night, and Can You Feel the love Tonight There is also a video that's behind the scenes of them recording the Evergreen album that is really cool to watch eact to.
lol I agree wit ya on that one. Might as well just take the slap and keep it moving. No need in trying to brace for it 😂. I’ll be checking out all of those suggestions too. Thanks!
They are so amazing. I listen to them every day. I know you have alot of suggestions but one of my favorite live videos is "Joyful Joyful" Live from the evergreen experience. You will love it. Your reactions are great.
To correct a misconception that keeps getting repeated over and over again. Mitch is NOT translating what Scott is singing. They are singing back and forth to one another (totally different words). HERE IS THE TRANSLATION. Part 1: Intro (full group - no words) & Part 2: First verse. All Mitch, all English Part 3: Back and forth - Scott (with translation in parentheses) & Mitch (in English) La luce che tu hai (The light that you have) I pray we'll find your light Nel cuore resterà (In the heart will remain) And hold it in our hearts A ricordarci che (to remind us that) When stars go out each night L'eterna stella sei (You are the eternal star) Oooo (vocalizing) Nella mia preghiera (In my prayer) Let this be our prayer Quanta fede c'è (How much faith there is) When shadows fill our day Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace (both in English Give us faith so we'll be safe Part 4: (Group - all English through to the end) P.S.: I knew you'd be blown away by Mitch's counter tenor in this. Just as a note: there was one reactor out there (a woman) who was convinced all through the first two verses that Mitch was lip syncing to Kirstin's singing. It wasn't until she say them sing together that she realized it was actually him.
Thank u so much for clarifying the translation stuff and I can definitely see how she thought that lol. They sound sooooo good that it’s hard to believe anything this great exists. I love em tho 😅🔥🔥
they have been singing together for so long- they have mastered how to blend their voices.... they are MASTER class performers.. see them live if you ever get the chance.
I’m new to your channel, but it is a pleasure to watch you discover these amazing singers. And you, my friend, are a Mitch fan. You need to listen to him in Problem and Gold. Totally different aspects of his brilliance displayed in those.
We understand perfectly about the need to mask videos in order to avoid copyright strikes, and it doesn't matter. Do what you need to do to keep your video up. We've all seen the original, probably numerous times; that isn't what we're here for. We're here for your reaction. As for Patreon, I, personally, have nothing against it, but I can't use it. I have slow wifi. It doesn't cause problems with UA-cam, but Patreon requires more speed and my devices can't handle it.
There is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift! *IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix* They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗💗💗 *They are individually so talented, however, when put together, it is truly magical* 💗💗💗 Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction 💗💗💗
Okay, I give up. I'm hopelessly in love with your face. Lol. My face will show much of what I feel, yours is wide open. And when you hear beautiful music, it's so full of joy that I can feel it hitting me too. You can"feel" music for real, huh. I can too but seldom find other people who have a reaction that's physical. Thanks for putting it out there for us to enjoy your joy with our joy!!
I appreciate u so much! Music is a beautiful thing and I love it. Pentatonix is like heaven in a bottle and even tho I’ve only heard a few of their songs I’m in love with their greatness ❤️
No, I'm sorry, but Mitch is not translating Scott's words. It's more alternating lines. I did a google translate on it once, I should have saved it. But it's beautiful!
i really love yr reactions because they feel so genuine :) thank you for taking the time to react to this version - it is also one of my faves. big hugs from chicago !! :)
It sounds so good, it makes me emotional every single time. I just loved your reaction and appreciation for this. I get such a thrill seeing people hear this for the first time. I can relive my initial shock and awe of it. In answer to Scott singing in Italian and then Mitch responding. Yes it was Mitch singing a rough translation of what Scott said. It's "call and response". Thank you so much for this.
The one language you don't know is Latin which a lot of "Older Hymns" were first written in. He is singing Latin for the Verse that Mitch gets out!!! You have been "Mitch" slapped!!! He sings Mezzo tenor!!! I am late to hearing them too!!! I'm 62 and still sing when my throat allows me too because I have had neck surgery and my vocal cords were cut and I know God saved me!!! Blessings to You & Yours!!!
Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli each recorded solo versions of "The Prayer" for the 1998 film, _"Quest for Camelot."_ Dion's was in English and Bocelli's was in Italian. Later, they released a duet version on their albums "These Are Special Times" (1998 - Dion) and "Sogno" (1999 - Bocelli). Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prayer_(Celine_Dion_and_Andrea_Bocelli_song) Obviously, Pentatonix chose to cover the duet version. And wouldn't you know that Scott would be the best choice for Andrea Bocelli's part, when Scott is the member of Pentatonix most likely to forget the lyrics (according to everyone in Pentatonix, including Scott)? No, he doesn't speak Italian; he had to learn this by rote, and he worked very hard to get the pronunciation right. According to people who do speak Italian he succeeded.
Nice reaction as always! Yes Mitch is translating the words thats sung ** in what i believe is French" .. he's translating what Scott is singing/saying 💙
Um...no. Mitch is not translating what Scott is singing. The words in Italian do not match what Mitch is singing. eg: stella =star in English. It's actually a "call and answer" portion of the song.
This is the literal translation. Scott: The light that you give Mitch: I pray we'll find your light S: In the heart will remain M: And hold it in our hearts S: to remind us that M: When stars go out each night S: You are the eternal star M: Ooh oh S: In my prayer M: Let this be our prayer S: How much faith there is M: When shadows fill our day S: Lead us to a place M: Guide us with your grace S and M: Give us faith so we'll be safe
Not to burst your bubble, but even though Pentatonix released "The Prayer" on a Christmas album it's no more a Christmas song than "Hallelujah" is (yet another non-Christmas song that Pentatonix released on a Christmas album). You can play this song year round and no one will ask you why you're listening to a Christmas song in summer time. If they do, ask them what makes it a Christmas song. The only answers they'll be able to give are that it was on a Christmas album and they're in a snowy forest in the video. (The video was shot in the summer and that "snowy forest" is a set with fake snow. It was meant to make a non-Christmas song look like Christmas.)
@@RetroQuinReactsDo you remember how they were dressed in "Hallelujah"? Warm winter clothes; it looks like a freezing day in the desert? The clothes were because the video was for a song on a Christmas album. The location was the Mojave desert, just outside of Barstow. It was mid-summer and the temperature was around 100° Fahrenheit (~37.8° Celsius). They were off-road and afraid that they wouldn't be able to find their way back to the road in the dark, but they wanted to catch Mitch's hat eclipsing the setting sun. Kirstin had an injured foot or ankle and was unable to walk with the others; it was as much as she could manage to stand in one place while the men walked up behind her. In other words, they were all totally miserable, anxious, and rushing to finish the video shoot as quickly as possible. And NONE of that shows. What we see is a cold winter day in the desert, with a very artistic decision to have Kirstin just standing there while the others walk up, as if she's the centerpiece of the video. The effect was enhanced in editing when someone (probably Ben Bram) decided to briefly cut to Kirstin's face when Avi sings "Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you." Pentatonix isn't joking when they call themselves "The Lucky Ones" (another original song, BTW). Everything about the group flies in the face of normal expectations. How were three such incredibly talented people as Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott all born in the same small town, within a year of each other? Without that, there would be no Pentatonix. How lucky was it that Scott met Ben Bram and heard about _The Sing-Off?_ And that Ben knew exactly the right bass to recommend? And that a guy who had just graduated with a pre-med major was willing to give up his place at Yale Medical School to join three teenagers and a bass on a television talent show? The trio has, somehow, always been able to find just the right person for a job, from Avi to Kevin to Ben Bram (whom they hired when all they had was their winnings from _The Sing-Off_ and hope), to Ed Boyer (their audio editor) to Matt to a whole slew of great set designers - ALWAYS they find the perfect person. Sorry; I'm veering off-topic 🤦♀️. My point was actually the set designers. Didn't they do a marvelous job? Watching the video you'd swear the group really was in a snowy forest at sunrise.

Oh Holy Night is EPIC!!!!!!

Thank you! This gives me chills every time I hear it. That last note is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard!
U are very welcome and I agree! Those notes do sum to me every time
I love that the only thing you can do is giggle and shake your head when you hear Mitch. It's almost humorously absurd how good he is, isn't it? Another awesome reaction!
Thank u so much and it’s crazy how good he sounds. It’s literally a perfect singing voice lol
@@RetroQuinReacts It pierces your solar plexis. Wonderful, clear, bell-like voice. Dare I say favorite? Lol
Thanks for an amazing reaction to this group of endlessly talented individuals!!
U are very welcome!
Oh come all ye faithful.
I’ll make a note of it
"Oh, Come All Ye Faithful" is my favourite Christmas song by Pentatonix. Their arrangement is joyful and uplifting with African music vibes.
I think I got that one written down too. I definitely gotta check it out
@@RetroQuinReacts definitely a must do before next Christmas It is what every holiday or Church song should inspire as a feeling PTX fans are fine with Christmas any time
For sure. I’ll make sure to knock it out
This was originally done by Andria Bocceli and Celine Dionne. And Scott was singing in Italian
Thank u so much for confirming
Oh this might be your favorite Christmas song... Now.... But just wait until you hear O Holy Night!
Also their mashup of Pure Imagination/Christmas Time Is Here.
lol most definitely. From what y’all been telling me, imma have a new favorite sooner rather than later
Scott is singing in Italian. One of the most famous versions of this song was performed by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, who is an Italian opera singer, so that is where that came from. I really enjoyed your reaction to this gorgeous cover!
Thank u so much and thanks for letting me kno about the Italian inspiration in the song as well 🙏🏾
And we're perfectly fine with the copyright written over the video. We come for your reaction, we've seen a video countless times lol
Thank u so much for the understanding 🙏🏾
Scott sings in Italian. The Prayer was made famous by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli in the 1990s.
I believe this is termed 'Call and response' when something is spoken or sung in one language, then someone else translates it for the audience.
I think ur right. I seen someone else mention that too
Thank u so much for letting me kno about that version
Recommend their 90s Dance Medley.
Thanks. Imma check that one out too
You're never gonna make it thru 'O Holy Night'... 😂
O`an...
YOU AIN'T READY
Right! As many times as I’ve listened to it, I’m still not ready lol

You can get a lot more of the first two singers blending if you see their other channel - Superfruit. Some knock out harmonies, intricate duets.
Thank u. I’ll definitely check them out whn I get a chance
Try Imagine and alsoThe Sound of Silence.
Will do!
The genuine smile on your face when you listen to PTX is fantastic 😊😊😊😊
Thank u so much. They amazed me a lot ❤️☺️
He is a counter tenor very rare!
Nice! I actually never heard of that term before. Sounds next level for sure
I listened and watched PTX for a year and a half and then FINALLY seen them live this past summer. The SECOND Mitch started singing I cried, like tears falling out my eyes lol It was like my brain couldn’t comprehend something so beautiful sounding
I bet that was an amazing experience. His voice is like nothing I’ve ever heard before. Just beautiful
Great reaction! If this is your new favorite Christmas song, I cannot wait to see what you say about O Holy Night and other Christmas songs of theirs!!!!
For sure. I’m ready to get my socks knocked off again & again lol
What a way to relax. I can never get enough. Am a absolute Pentaholic and appreciate you. Your smile says it all. Greetings from South Africa
It is Italian
Thank u so much. They got such amazing voices ❤️

Oh holy night is a game changer❤😊

To correct a misconception that keeps getting repeated over and over again. Mitch is NOT translating what Scott is singing. They are singing back and forth to one another (totally different words). HERE IS THE TRANSLATION.
Part 1: Intro (full group - no words) & Part 2: First verse. All Mitch, all English
Part 3: Back and forth - Scott (with translation in parentheses) & Mitch (in English)
La luce che tu hai (The light that you have)
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore resterà (In the heart will remain)
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che (to remind us that)
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei (You are the eternal star)
Oooo (vocalizing)
Nella mia preghiera (In my prayer)
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'è (How much faith there is)
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace (both in English
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Part 4: (Group - all English through to the end)
P.S.: I knew you'd be blown away by Mitch's counter tenor in this. Just as a note: there was one reactor out there (a woman) who was convinced all through the first two verses that Mitch was lip syncing to Kirstin's singing. It wasn't until she say them sing together that she realized it was actually him.

Not to burst your bubble, but even though Pentatonix released "The Prayer" on a Christmas album it's no more a Christmas song than "Hallelujah" is (yet another non-Christmas song that Pentatonix released on a Christmas album). You can play this song year round and no one will ask you why you're listening to a Christmas song in summer time. If they do, ask them what makes it a Christmas song. The only answers they'll be able to give are that it was on a Christmas album and they're in a snowy forest in the video. (The video was shot in the summer and that "snowy forest" is a set with fake snow. It was meant to make a non-Christmas song look like Christmas.)
Thank u for sharing that info with me. That gives me a different perspective on it in a good way
@@RetroQuinReactsDo you remember how they were dressed in "Hallelujah"? Warm winter clothes; it looks like a freezing day in the desert?
The clothes were because the video was for a song on a Christmas album. The location was the Mojave desert, just outside of Barstow. It was mid-summer and the temperature was around 100° Fahrenheit (~37.8° Celsius). They were off-road and afraid that they wouldn't be able to find their way back to the road in the dark, but they wanted to catch Mitch's hat eclipsing the setting sun. Kirstin had an injured foot or ankle and was unable to walk with the others; it was as much as she could manage to stand in one place while the men walked up behind her. In other words, they were all totally miserable, anxious, and rushing to finish the video shoot as quickly as possible. And NONE of that shows. What we see is a cold winter day in the desert, with a very artistic decision to have Kirstin just standing there while the others walk up, as if she's the centerpiece of the video. The effect was enhanced in editing when someone (probably Ben Bram) decided to briefly cut to Kirstin's face when Avi sings "Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you."
Pentatonix isn't joking when they call themselves "The Lucky Ones" (another original song, BTW). Everything about the group flies in the face of normal expectations. How were three such incredibly talented people as Kirstin, Mitch, and Scott all born in the same small town, within a year of each other? Without that, there would be no Pentatonix. How lucky was it that Scott met Ben Bram and heard about _The Sing-Off?_ And that Ben knew exactly the right bass to recommend? And that a guy who had just graduated with a pre-med major was willing to give up his place at Yale Medical School to join three teenagers and a bass on a television talent show?
The trio has, somehow, always been able to find just the right person for a job, from Avi to Kevin to Ben Bram (whom they hired when all they had was their winnings from _The Sing-Off_ and hope), to Ed Boyer (their audio editor) to Matt to a whole slew of great set designers - ALWAYS they find the perfect person. Sorry; I'm veering off-topic 🤦♀️. My point was actually the set designers. Didn't they do a marvelous job? Watching the video you'd swear the group really was in a snowy forest at sunrise.
