This song was written by David Foster and Carol Bayer Sager for the 1998 animated film, “Quest for Camelot”. Originally recorded by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, it’s been a favorite for over 20 years. Josh Groban got his big break by being asked to fill for Bocelli at two award show rehearsals. It’s been covered many times by many artists since then, but IMHO this is by far the best. How do you compare Celine’s soprano to Mitch’s counter tenor or Bocelli’s Italian tenor to Scott’s baritone? Or a duet backed by a full orchestra to five incredible a cappella voices? Mitch’s magic. Scott’s soul. Kirstie’s belting soprano. Matt’s underlying bass. Kevin’s driving percussion. Am so jealous you get to hear this live! More please!!!
That was the first time I remember hearing it. Interestingly, the first time we hear it, it is a direct prayer to God from Kayley's mother to watch over her on her quest. The broadened terms of "us/children" that became the popular studio version and the one known world wide to audiences is not the original use of the song. I always sing the version the mother sang first to myself upon hearing it and remember the movie because of it.
Had a blast at Pentatonix concert, and so happy to meet so many of you. Thanks for introducing yourselves to me! We shared amazing music snd moments tnite!
I don't think anyone is going to be able to top this version of "The Prayer" as much as they want to try. It is beautiful not only because of the setting they created but because of the effort and emotion they put into doing this. I have no words to say how much I enjoy Pentatonix and they way they bring life to their songs. They amaze me with each new song. Each one has a wonderful gift to add to a song and I enjoy them so much. Thank you Pentatonix for the enjoyment you have let me experience the beauty of your voices and talent. Mr. Hassel, I very much enjoy your reactions and I know you will enjoy seeing them in person. Someday, maybe I will be able to also.
My jaw hit the floor when Scott started singing in Italian... He has always been my favorite for his versatility and soul, but man, I wasn't ready for this! ❤️
Discovered Your reaction Videos through Your work (the son, the father) and its been a constant thrill and joy - keep up the work! Greetings from Germany
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Out three weeks ago today and already has over THREE MILLION views!!! So jealous you get to see them live! They will be appearing less than two hundred miles from me and I can’t get there. Grrrrr. We definitely need more baritone Scott.....Italian or not! Love your reactions, thank you. More PTX Christmas, please!
Hello lukas Always so nice to see your reactions!!! And this wonderful presentation is breathtaking, isn't it??!!! How fantastic to be able to be at the PTX show - enjoy it so much Kisses from Brazil
I’ve watched countless reaction videos for this song and in each and every one of them the reactor’s face lights up after the first 20 seconds. It’s just magnificent.
OMG! I was so excited to see your reaction pop up on my notifications. I couldn't click on it fast enough. I've been waiting to see your reaction to this magnificent rendition of such a beautiful song. I don't have a whole lot of reactors who are my favorites, but you are one of them! I love all of the minute details you point out that make the video even more interesting and beautiful. I'm so glad you reacted to this, it is by far one of my favorite upgrades by Pentatonix. I remember when I saw your very first reaction ever, about 18 months ago, and it was Pentatonix' cover of "Hallelujah". I was fascinated by your comments and knowledge of video production and loved the reaction. In the video you said you had seen an advertisement for them at Madison Square Garden. I loved watching you you get Mitch slapped when you heard him sing for the first time. You also said you would go see them next time they were in town, and now you get to witness them in person. I am vey jealous, as I am not near anywhere they are performing, but I know you will enjoy them all over again. To see them perform live is so amazing. I've watched you fall in love with them and it's been wonderful to see. Thank you so much for you wonderful, clear, knowledgeable and thoughtful past reactions and look forward to the ones in the future. They do not have a video out for "I Saw Three Ships" from their new Evergreen album, but please try to listen to it, because like always they take the classic Christmas songs and make one love them all over again! Happy Christmas!
So happy to see you react to PTX again. This is the greatest vocal performance from them to date! I'll also be at the Dec 7th show at "The Rock" in Newark and can't wait to hear this live. This and I Saw Three Ships are my favorites but the entire album is spectacular. I'd love to see your reaction to their cover of I Just Called To Say I Love You. The five part harmonies are magical.
Powerful song and powerful interoperation:). Thank you Lukas for sharing your love for music and perception of this piece. Sharing similar love for music and not that different perception is definitely one of sources of happiness for me. So, thank you Lukas. Have a great time on 7th of December.
Takes my breath away. The most astonishing sounds that come from their voices leave me fighting back tears. Enjoy your concert. It should be, undoubtably, amazing. Happy Holidays from the PA Dutch country. I always look forward to your reactions.😉
Thank you so much for a fantastic reaction. I enjoyed watching your reaction and listening to your comments so much. I think this is their best performance ever! I am so jealous that you get to see them in person. I hope you enjoy it and have a fantastic time.
I cannot believe I didn't get the notification for this video. I was just thinking the other day that I couldn't believe you had not done the prayer. I'm thankful though I can ask you what you thought of ptx live. I've never seen them live and with zero immune system couldn't go this time for sure!!
Aww man, a little bummed. I am also going to see them for the first time ever, even though I've been a fan for many years. But being in Newark DELAWARE, not NJ, I had a choice of your show, Hershey PA, or Baltimore and I chose Baltimore next Saturday. It would have been a truly memorable night if I could have somehow spotted and met you in NJ instead. Ah well.. Enjoy, and happy holidays to you!!
Absolutely beautiful rendition, my favorite version of this song, which I have always loved. This probably is my favorite PTX, but like so many say, each one you listen to is your favorite 🥰. Thank you for your reaction Lukas, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the PTX Concert ❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I listened to live streams by Scott and Kevin the day before the song released and they both said that this was probably the most difficult, challenging arrangement they've ever done. Wow. And it shows - I do love those harmonies!
That is so exciting! I'm glad you are going to one of their Christmas concerts. I'll be seeing them in Pittsburgh. I hear they are doing "The Prayer" in their concert.
I was supposed to go to the one in upstate NY but emergency took the funds. I can't wait to hear how wonderful they are in person from you!!! This is definitely a Grammy worthy performance. Absolutely stunning.
I know you will enjoy yourself....I know I would....with that being said....I honestly think we might be looking at Grammy #4.....what do you all think???
I've been waiting for you to review this! I love your low key style. Some reviewers are over the top frenetic, although always fun to watch their jaws drop. But like you said in earlier reviews, you hear Pentatonix and it's like an instant peace and calm come over you. Ok, that's paraphrased *smile*, but it was what I took from what you were saying. Enjoy the concert! I wish they were coming somewhere near me.
Great reaction Lukas, I absolutely love the song, but especially the last 20 seconds with that chorus along with Mitch's high notes. Keep up the good work.
Celine actually rehearsed this for I believe the Grammy's or Oscars with Josh Groban when he was 16 years old because Andrea had something which prevented him from making it to the rehearsal. David Foster recommended him. He later recorded it with Charlotte Church. Following that he was cast on Ally McBeal and appeared on Oprah and his career skyrocketed from that point. I love Josh, I know all things Josh lol.
As mentioned by others, "The Prayer" was written for the animated musical film Quest For Camelot. Celine Dion was the singing voice for the character of the mother of the protagonist. She sings a shorter English-only version of this song in the movie. The music for the dramatic bridge was actually taken from another song on the soundtrack, "Looking Through Your Eyes", and new lyrics were written to fit with the theme of The Prayer. The official film soundtrack included an Italian-language version performed by Andrea Bocelli that incorporated the added bridge section.
So glad you're gonna get to see them on tour!! I'm going to the Dec. 11th show in Louisville, KY. I'm so excited! The entire Evergreen album is amazing - I hope you get a chance to check out the other songs on it!! Enjoy your concert!💜
@@lukashasselNY if you ever get a chance to see them on a 'regular' tour where they do their originals and covers, that's also a must see! But 100% agree, fantastic evening 🙌🤩
Glad to see you again, this was a wonderful reaction! I'm happy for you that you can see them in december, I have tickets for the tour in Europe next year and truly hope the concerts will take place.. Please do more PTX again or Mitch's solo stuff as "Messer"
Please react to Dimash's Ave Maria from the New Wave 2021! It will blow you away!!! It's a Vocalise version composed for Dimash by Igor Krutoy after Dimash asked him to compose it for him! Love having you back! and Pentatonix is sublime!
So happy you will see them in concert. I saw them with Avi in Michigan on his last tour with the group, and my goodness, they sounded terrific in concert, like NO difference from their studio recordings. You are in for a treat, Lukas! (I'm jealous)
Always a joy to listen to your reactions. Especially as you are already familiar with the Celine/Andrea original version of this song, which makes such a difference when offering an informed commentary. Also love that you are a fan of the "pagan" parts of Christmas. Never thought of describing my feelings that way, but it is unabashedly accurate. Gotta love the heightened energy of the season, too. Wishing you a wonderful experience at the PTX concert, and all the delights of a pagan celebration this year!
Thanks Lukas for this reaction. I missed Pentatonix. About 2-3 week ago, if I'm no mistaken,this recording appeared and of course I liestened to it then, and I even thought about you, how nice it would be if you reacted to this song, (and I hope not to be blocked). The song ''Prayer'' is very well known and I heard it in several variants, the best know being the one you mentioned with C.Dion in duet with A.Bocelli. Of course I like the song, but honestly, it sounds different and give me another satisfaction when I listen to it with you and react to it , because you always have the gift to explain absolutely everything that happens on the ''stage''. From the scenery, the appearances of the artists, the chords, the rhythm, etc...because your director and actor's eye, but also your fine hearing, don't miss anything and, in addition, everything is filtered by your sensitivity. I also like the fact that you go back to certain segments of the song...I am sincerely glad for you will go to their concert, because the difference of listening to a recorded concert can never be compared to a live audition. And let's not forget the atmosphere in a concert hall, which does not compare with the state in an armchair at home, no matter how comfortable it would be, and the live experience of the concert. I went to concerts and I know the feeling and the vibration that is there , and maybe you will have the opportunity to meet them personally. I'm sorry I can't be there for the concert because in addition to the immense leasure of seeing Pentatonix live, I would definitely look for you and I would like to greet you, hug you and shake your hand, dearly- all live!... About Pentatonix what I could say, I commented on the other reactions with this group, they are extraordinary ,an entire orchestra merged in five people, beautiful voices and shows with personal accent. They are wonderful, and their beauty and exuberance can see at the end of the song, in that little clip at the end. I would love if you could still react to Pentatonix, because they have so many beautiful pieces, and for us ,who love Pentatonix and your reactions, it would be like a Christmas present , because I see how beautiful ''pack your gifts''!!!...YOU ARE AMAZING , THANK YOU !
@@lukashasselNY ,Dear Lukas,thank you for your kind thought. Yes ,I would very happy, if that happened, but YOU also come ( to the concert ) in Europe, to see you too???....My surprise and joy would be double.***In other words, in Austria the series ''Elementary'' is running, a long-running series( I undrestand that it was 6-7 seasons, a rival of the series ''Black List'' ?!),where I know you played too. Unfortunately ,I found out about the series late and managed to watch only few episodes. It's a good series, I like it, but today I'm going home,to my country,on vacation, so I won't see again. I only saw a few sequences on UA-cam,and I liked them....do you also speak Danish in the series, because at one point I heard to you speak a language other English ?....Lucky are the ones in America, who can follow you much easier and more often ... Thank you again for your tought ,and I hope so, because ''hope dies last ''!!!
You didn't notice that they were singing in English after they all came together. Everyone else sings that section in Italian. I've heard "The Prayer" by many artists and listening to Pentatonix is the first time I ever understood these words, since I don't speak Italian.
Starting with The Sing Off up until now there is ten years of musical arranging by PTX and Ben Bram. Is there anyone that arranges better than them over that time period? What they do is just astounding.
I was incredibly happy to see you reacting to Pentatonix again. You have been missed. I loved everything about their video, the arrangement and the performances. I hope that you enjoy the concert. They have no concerts anywhere near me (sigh). They did a short Behind The Scenes video for this video. I found it to be very interesting. Here is the link just in case you want to see it: ua-cam.com/video/jvVW0DtlAsg/v-deo.html
I appreciate your commentaries, and how you respond to your viewers in comments, so I subscribed. Excited to hear more in the future.
Saw them in Toronto and I’m still mesmerized by them and always will❤❤

This song with Mitch's beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat!!!
Yay! Ive been waiting for your reaction video to PTX 😇😇
Had a blast at Pentatonix concert, and so happy to meet so many of you. Thanks for introducing yourselves to me! We shared amazing music snd moments tnite!
Recommend their Rather Be, Come Along, Amazing Grace, and I Just Called To Say I Love You.
I need to see more of Kevin..I just love his input.
You were correct, this was an indoor set. There's an interesting little behind the scenes youtube video showing how they put it together.
Have missed watching your reactions. Love the pleasure in your face as you enjoy. Have great night at the concert!!
I'm so excited for you to go see them!!!!
When they all come together you know that something magical is about to happen

If this is not played at my funeral, I'm not going.
Enjoyed your reaction. You’ll get to see them before me. I see them in Sugarland, TX on December 21st!
Good to see you back, Lukas. Missed you😞❣️
Love your reaction....thank you!!👍👏💚
One of my favourite reactors! Hello nice to see you 😀 thanks for the reaction
Nice to see this, good to see you :-)
I have tickets for Grand Prairie, TX. Can't wait!
I'll also be at the Newark show, I'm surprising my mom and taking her and got the VIP package, very excited!!!
So happy to see you again.
I will be in Baltimore just after Thanksgiving. If they weren't in Baltimore, Newark NJ would have been my next nearest choice.
I be love your Pentatonix videos.
Delighted I found you. I subbed due to this song, but I look forward to exploring what you have already done.
Great!
My jaw hit the floor when Scott started singing in Italian... He has always been my favorite for his versatility and soul, but man, I wasn't ready for this! ❤️
Love Mitch! His cover of "Your Power" is hauntingly beautiful! Thanks for the PTX reaction ~
Seeing them on the 9th
Lukas! You are going to see them! I’m sure you will have a great time. Enjoy! 🤗
Love, love, love the PTX version of the Prayer. May I also suggest the newest Home Free song, "Brothers in Arms."
Awesome reaction!!! Thank you.
Oh!! I am so jealous!!! I know you will have a great time!🙂🙂
Awesome reaction, enjoy the concert. Merry 🎄
I will be at the Newark concert! I can’t wait to meet you.
Enjoy your live concert with our PTX! If I were to attend it would be double pleasure to see them and you. Hoping for mistletoe! 🇨🇦❤️

How fantastic to be able to be at the PTX show - enjoy it so much
Kisses from Brazil
I'm seeing them Dec.4 in CT. Merry Christmas to me!!!
I hope you will do some kind of video blog of your concert experience!!!!
I’ve watched countless reaction videos for this song and in each and every one of them the reactor’s face lights up after the first 20 seconds. It’s just magnificent.
I knew you'd love it Lukas. Good reaction my friend.
Happy to hear a Mitch-heavy number. I react as you do; astounded at Mitch’s voice - clear, gentle yet extraordinarily well controlled.
Did anyone ever tell you..you look like the actor Daniel Day Lewis??..loved your resction..PTX..stunning as usual..
So excited for this!! I love your reactions to PTX💚
I cry EVERY TIME I hear them sing, so beautiful!

Their voices are insane, so beautiful. Love your Reactions as always ❤
Long time no see.. love your reaction as usual.. Great video. I think Mitch reached an all time high in this one.
Beautiful thank you Lukas for taking the time to share.

Great to see you back with ptx been a while and with a great video by them to thank you 🙂
Thank you so much for a fantastic reaction. I enjoyed watching your reaction and listening to your comments so much. I think this is their best performance ever! I am so jealous that you get to see them in person. I hope you enjoy it and have a fantastic time.
You’re the first one I’ve heard/watched who mentioned the sun. The timing was perfect in relation to the audio. I really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Good to see you again. Love your reactions. Have fun at the concert.
I cannot believe I didn't get the notification for this video. I was just thinking the other day that I couldn't believe you had not done the prayer.

Really enjoyed seeing your very expressive face reflecting all my own reactions! Envious that you’ll be seeing their Christmas tour. Enjoy.
That is so exciting! I'm glad you are going to one of their Christmas concerts. I'll be seeing them in Pittsburgh. I hear they are doing "The Prayer" in their concert.

This was wonderful. Heart touching. It touched the soul deeply! Thank you Lukas Hassel for your amazing reaction!!! 🙏🌷
I’ve been waiting for your reaction!! Loved it!! I knew you’d absorb and enjoy it!! 🥰🥰
Great reaction Lukas, I absolutely love the song, but especially the last 20 seconds with that chorus along with Mitch's high notes. Keep up the good work.
Celine actually rehearsed this for I believe the Grammy's or Oscars with Josh Groban when he was 16 years old because Andrea had something which prevented him from making it to the rehearsal. David Foster recommended him. He later recorded it with Charlotte Church. Following that he was cast on Ally McBeal and appeared on Oprah and his career skyrocketed from that point.

As mentioned by others, "The Prayer" was written for the animated musical film Quest For Camelot. Celine Dion was the singing voice for the character of the mother of the protagonist. She sings a shorter English-only version of this song in the movie. The music for the dramatic bridge was actually taken from another song on the soundtrack, "Looking Through Your Eyes", and new lyrics were written to fit with the theme of The Prayer.

It was so nice meeting you last night! I'm happy you were able to see them live and hear how amazing they are in person...happy holidays!
So fun to meet you!! What an amazing evening! Xoxo

Awesome reaction. I will also be at the concert in Newark. I can’t wait!!! Maybe I’ll see you there but I’m sure it’s going to be insanely crowded!
So happy you're gonna see them performing live! ❤ Maybe you will share with us your impressions after.

At the end you can hear Kevin's beatboxing and Matt's bass. Fantastic
Great reaction. Just caught the "new" season of Blacklist on Netflix...great job on that!
Thx a lot.
This is the first and last time I will be watching you .

Yes ,I would very happy, if that happened, but YOU also come ( to the concert ) in Europe, to see you too???....My surprise and joy would be double.***In other words, in Austria the series ''Elementary'' is running, a long-running series( I undrestand that it was 6-7 seasons, a rival of the series ''Black List'' ?!),where I know you played too. Unfortunately ,I found out about the series late and managed to watch only few episodes. It's a good series, I like it, but today I'm going home,to my country,on vacation, so I won't see again. I only saw a few sequences on UA-cam,and I liked them....do you also speak Danish in the series, because at one point I heard to you speak a language other English ?....Lucky are the ones in America, who can follow you much easier and more often ... Thank you again for your tought ,and I hope so, because ''hope dies last ''!!!
Hey Lukas, good to see you.
You didn't notice that they were singing in English after they all came together. Everyone else sings that section in Italian. I've heard "The Prayer" by many artists and listening to Pentatonix is the first time I ever understood these words, since I don't speak Italian.
There are also videos on UA-cam of Adam Lambert performing it twice, with 2 different partners, in English & Hebrew.
Hi Lucas - new subscriber. :) I'm looking forward to hearing your other reactions. Have fun at the concert!
Starting with The Sing Off up until now there is ten years of musical arranging by PTX and Ben Bram. Is there anyone that arranges better than them over that time period? What they do is just astounding.
I was incredibly happy to see you reacting to Pentatonix again. You have been missed. I loved everything about their video, the arrangement and the performances. I hope that you enjoy the concert. They have no concerts anywhere near me (sigh). They did a short Behind The Scenes video for this video. I found it to be very interesting.
