❣ ***THERE ARE LITERALLY NO WORDS IN MY ENGLISH VOCABULARY, THAT CAN DESCRIBE THIS GROUP!!!*** ❣ I have also come to the conclusion, that Mitch is an Alien, from the planet of *WTF* 😊
I will never minimize the vocals of this group, I am wholeheartedly a Pentaholic. But, the other art forms of their videos gets lost....set design, costumes, makeup, cinematography, and audiomixing. Everyone that does anything with this group should be applauded.
Holy Cow….I’m not familiar with this group, but the voice that opens this song…..full alto range…..reminds me of Adam Lambert…also in his phrasing…..beautiful…..I don’t know the official name for a male with that range, but Steve Perry of Journey also was in that category. Absolutely gorgeous. I’ll be listening to more from this group.
Don't worry at ALL about reacting to their Christmas music in March or April or July or whenever. It does NOT matter. I'm an Uber Driver and a full-bore Pentaholic and I have something like 80 of their songs on my USB in my car. Last Summer, there was one month when I was encouraged to play PTX Christmas songs nearly every single night. Every other month it was just the typical every other day. You can react to PTX Christmas music ANY freaking time. Do it now. Little Drummer Boy.
"She had a thing". Do you mean when she goes into full belt mode, something she does in pretty much anything that this group does? Is that "the thing" to which you refer? She is one of the best belters I have ever heard, and my wife and I go to the theater frequently and adore musical theater.
You-10 seconds in: “I’m not ready for this.” Me-Out loud to no one: No. No you are most definitely not. Try Amazing Grace next…Kirstie will crack your soul with her solo. Always makes me emotional.
This song amazes me, because it sounds like there's actual instruments, not just voices. Like, some songs are a Cappella, and you know, but this sounds like a gd orchestra backing them.
I told you man! Great reaction! Might I suggest Amazing Grace, and also, Can you feel the love tonight, from The Lion King. In Can you feel, let’s just say Mitch has a moment that will blow your hair back!
This song had it all. Love the reaction. Mitch slapping/Scott slapping/Mitch belting/Kirstie belting/Pentatonix wall of sound when they all got belting! Amazing Grace, Seasons of Love and The Wizard of Ahhhs are not to be missed either.
Pure Pentatonix Perfection. A Capella at its very best - and now re-defined by Pentatonix. Mitch sang with such clarity and conviction, those golden tones with runs and vibratos, ethereal and pure. Scott on that operatic Italian. Kirstie sharp and piercing. Matt so deep and warm underneath. Kevin the master beat boxer driving the rhythm with drums and clashing cymbals. The harmonies, the solos, the duets, the rising crescendo and the PTX wall of sound. All topped off with excellent imagery and videography. This deserves a Grammy or two for Duo/Group; Arrangement; Instrumental/A Capella; and Spiritual/Religious.
Even after Christmas, you must check out Carol of the Bells from Christmas Under the Stars to witness Mitch outing himself as an alien from a planet with no oxygen. Also O Come All Ye Faithful to see what they do with an old grammer school classic. That way you will be ready for next December!
That wasn’t a Mitch slap. That was a Mitch beat down. Scott was crazy good and Kirstin’s vocals in the bridge were fantastic. The foundation laid by Matt and Kevin was impeccable as usual. You should go ahead and check out their original Christmas song, Thank You, as the underlying message applies any time of year.
God, no kidding! Mitch doesn't just slap you in this one, he slaps you, grabs you by the hair, throws you on the ground and stomps the crap out of you, just with his voice! Chills. Every time.
This came up on my feed again and I'm glad it did because your reaction was perfect. I'm not sure if you have done a reaction to the recording of evergreen but either way you reacted the same way ptx did when they heard the final mix. When Kirstin screamed, "and watch us from above", Mitch said, "sing!" bc he thought it was so good. Then when Mitch sang, "just like every chi-i-i-ld" Matt said, "that's the sauce right there, that's the sauce!!" If you havent seen it yet you might want to do it as a Patreon reaction . Hope this finds you well.
There is NOTHING that can prepare you for their Epic heart stirring songs like this one, or their "Amazing Grace", or "Imagine". These types of songs really have a great message and tug at the heart strings, and they put so much emotion and passion in them that takes the song to a whole different level. Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to shed a tear now and then. That just proves you are human and they have touched your heart. 🎶🎶💖💖
The Prayer IS on their 6th Christmas album, Evergreen. Their best work to date IMHO. Certainly Grammy worthy, but they missed the deadline for the last Grammys. Also, I think Pentaholics would agree that PTX Christmas is doable any time of year! 😅 😅
@Grace Ito...I agree with you 💯%. The Prayer shows us Pentatonix at their best vocally... they have grown and matured before our eyes and with so much class and grace with such dignity. Almost in tears here now because when I (along with THOUSANDS of others) first saw them...it was about 11 years ago and I basically fell in love with the group and claimed them as my own children (in my heart).
Being from the Northeast, my first thought the first time I saw it was "They would all freeze to death" LOL Then Mitch started singing and then Scott threw in Italian and I forgot how cold they were. I love the two of them singing together, but dang Kirstie. Kevin and Matt keeping it all together. Matts baseline so subtle through most until the end. I love this. Great reaction You just got PTX slapped LOL 😎
@@loucatozzi7656 yes I've seen it, but just the imagery of them dressed that way in the snow and of course at first I thought it real. They have quite the design team for their sets don't they? thx .
Grammy Worthy? I think so! Thanks for this reaction. You had the same reaction many have had. Leaves you speechless. Mitch is angelic! They all reached a new high with this one.💕💕
Just an idea, you could do a couple weeks worth of Christmas songs around Easter...Pentaholics LOVE their Xmas stuff so u won't get any complaints 😉 For starters: Carol of the Bells Mary Did U Know O Come All Ye Faithful God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen 4 epic songs with completely different vibes. One important thing to know about PTX and Xmas...never expect the song to sound like you've always heard it. It may start out that way, but won't last for long. They are known for reinventing Xmas music which makes it so much fun for us to see y'all's expression when they switch it up lol 😆
The most amazing thing about this group is how absolutely effortlessly their collective voices hit perfection. They blow me away every single time! Great reaction!
I feel like this is a masterwork in the old fashioned sense, where a journeyman would create something only a master could create to prove they were now a master themselves. I suppose in this case they were already masters, but this thing is crafted from beginning to end with as near to perfection as is humanly possible. Is there something beyond master? Superheroes, maybe? Celestial beings? Aliens? Whatever, it was a great pleasure seeing you respond to viewing it for the first time.
PTX pulled out their classical training for this one! And the way the duet switches from Scott & Mitch to Mitch & Kirstin & back again was beautiful. Mitch’s chromatic walk up at the end: gorgeous! Pentaholics listen to their Christmas music all year round.
This a master piece with Micth at his finest and the prove of Scott could do, Kirstin belting in the bridge, and in the first part given background to Mitch and Scott, and the impeccable percussion section of Kevin and Matt. Ptx Perfection!
During the pandemic. Mitch climbed up on his roof and recorded his version of Billie Elishes. Your Power. It’s insanely beautiful and heartfelt He said if Billie was brave enough to write it. he wanted to honor her. Well he did. It’s chilling and beautiful. It’s on you tube
First few times I heard this I had chills…I have no problem saying that I think it’s better than the previous recordings of it. It’s unbelievably beautiful ☺️
Omg! You're face when Scott started singing his Italian baritone was priceless! And even if you don't react to it,I really suggest watching their short documentary showing them recording Evergreen, the album this song is on! It's so fantastic to see how they create these masterpieces together!
Several people have told you to watch The evergreen studio sessions short film! The five of them were listening to The Prayer in the studio together. Kirsten had not heard the mix of it all, and during the part that you played again where she sings "above" with her hand out Mitch said "SING" because it was so good and during the part when Mitch sang "child" the part you played again Matt said " THATS THE SONG RIGHT THERE! THATS THE SONG!!" It was awesome.
Great performance. They used a little more backing tracks than they usually do (most of their official videos have a certain level of backing), but it works for this song and gives it more power. Plus any backing they use is always their voices.
I never noticed this before as I always listen to them singing ‘The Prayer’ through my devices’ speakers. However, this time I’m using my headphones (Koss Porta Pro Wireless). During Mitch’s first solo, the harmony sounds like (Angelic) bell or chime tones. Simply beautiful. - BG
I consider this one of the most beautiful recordings I have heard. I cried tears of just joy and serenity that comes from hearing this. Excellent reaction!
Grammy...simple...gotta push through to next year.annnnnd Mitch Slapped over and over..That is one of the best things I have ever heard. 5 voices...that is 5 voices taking place of 2 of the greatest singers ...and..and an entire orchestra!! On tour they were stunning!!! Loved it Man!!!
This was an absolutely fantastic reaction. Here's a little information that not many people realize, the first half of the song when Scott and Mitch were doing their duet and Scott was in Italian, that was a beautiful rendition of the Celine Dion and Andrea bocelli version. However the last half was a phenomenal rendition of Yolanda Adams and Donnie McClurkin gospel cover of the prayer. PTX are amazing mashup artists and they put these two songs together and I think ultimately changed the world 😁. They are geniuses they are beyond talented and thank you for your visceral reaction, amazing as always. 🙏🏾❤️
I love watching reaction reviews of Pentatonix. It's the men who react that are so takin a back of their talent. Brings you to tears. And you proudly give credit where credit is due
"The Prayer" is not a typical Christmas song. The original version, written for the animated film Quest for Camelot (1998), was sung entirely by Celine Dion and did not have the bridge section. An Italian language version sung by Andrea Bocelli was included on the original soundtrack album, even though he wasn't a part of the voice cast. In this version, Bocelli sang both the Italian lyrics as well as the English lyrics that would later be sung by Celine in their duet rendition. The dramatic bridge was also added to this version, the music re-purposed from "Looking Through Your Eyes", another song on the soundtrack, with different lyrics. The now iconic Dion/Bocelli duet wasn't recorded till after the film came out but was included on both of their solo albums. Celine's album, These Are Special Times, was her first English language Christmas album and thus established "The Prayer" as a Christmas song. It was also released as a single in 1999. In re-issues of the soundtrack album, it replaced the original solo Bocelli track. Pentatonix are themselves noted for taking non-Christmas songs and covering them on their Christmas albums. They've done it with Hallelujah, Coldest Winter, Sweater Weather, When You Believe, Amazing Grace, My Favorite Things, When You Wish Upon A Star, Once Upon A December, Seasons Of Love, God Only Knows, I Just Called To Say I Love You, and My Heart With You.
Goosebumps and teary eyes each time I watch this. I love your reaction. And somehow I can feel your emotions. This is from their 2021 Christmas album but you know, we pentaholics listen to PTXmas all year long
Mandatory listens: Amazing Grace, Love Again (an original), Can You Feel the Love Tonight?, Mad World, Somebody That I Used to Know (their first youtube hit I think)…and a couple hundred others 😊
Excellent absolutely Excellent. That's their 4th Grammy right there. Nice that you didn't interrupt the flow of the song. Thank you. Over The River is a Christmas song as well but it's a short one if you can react to it. Thanks.
I like how you stopped to rewind when you got yourself into a Hoying after being repeatedly Mitch Slapped. Thanks for posting. I like their dark Christmas videos: Dance of the sugar Plumb fairies, Making Christmas, and My favorite things. Just to name a few. OMG this one: Pentatonix - Mary Did You Know? (Live from The Evergreen Experience) if you like high pitched singers you'll be KO'd.
Beautifully done as always. Mitch just tickles the senses and Scott!!! Love his lower register! Kirstin’s voice just keeps getting better and better. ❤️❤️❤️
You are so correct. Song gained huge fame sung by Celine & Andre. AND WowOhWow PTX Upgraded song pentabulously Mahalos to you for being WOW’d by PTX❣️😉🤙🏼 A must review from you: My Heart With You
Finally ! Your a believer ! In this song you got to witness what is called the PTX "Wall of Power ". If you want to hear the range and vocal power of Kirstin play "Amazing Grace". She will melt your heart. For a fun side watch "Butter x Dynamite". For a sultry Kirstie watch "Be My Eyes ".
Scott said every night in concert that this was on Celine Dion's Christmas album. He also said in the behind the scenes video this was the best thing they have ever done and everyone that has heard it agrees I think. Lol. You picked the two parts that they themselves went crazy over when they heard the mix. I'll tell you about that in my next comment.
The popular version of the song was by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. HOWEVER, the song originates from the sound track of an animated movie called "Quest For Camelot." Celine Dion was the singing voice of the mother of the leading protagonist in the movie. A village gets raided by bad guys and a young girl leaps to her horse to go to Camelot and get help for the suffering village. As she disappears in the distance, pursued by some of the baddies, the mother sings her prayer "Let HER find her way" and "Lead her to a place..." etc. Originally it was a mother's prayer. Celine sings it as the girl heads out on her quest. Then some years later, Carole Bayer Sager (who wrote the song) worked with them for the duet that YOU remember.
Great reactions . I immensely enjoy your comments . I would love to hear your reactions of “ run to you “ an original composition and their cover of “ can’t help falling in love “ both are ballads but you can really hear the magnificence of their splendid vocals . Have a lovely day .
❣ ***THERE ARE LITERALLY NO WORDS IN MY ENGLISH VOCABULARY, THAT CAN DESCRIBE THIS GROUP!!!*** ❣ I have also come to the conclusion, that Mitch is an Alien, from the planet of *WTF* 😊

Mitch Grassi is a counter tenor and is the highest of male ranges. They all have a very wide range vocally however.

Kirsten really shines in " Can You Feel the Love Tonight " You won't be dissapointed
Yeah... Kirstin shines.... and Mitch goes into orbit👽
She also shines in say something
100%
And how about her performance in Seasons of Love???
The best Kirstin shine is in Amazing grace. The way the light hits her and the way her voice hits your soul is just divine.
You-10 seconds in: “I’m not ready for this.”
Me-Out loud to no one: No. No you are most definitely not.
Try Amazing Grace next…Kirstie will crack your soul with her solo. Always makes me emotional.
Scott's lower register... that SMOOTH baritone... is SERIOUSLY under utilized by this group.
“Amazing Grace “ is an eargasm from them . Great reaction, and enjoy the journey through PTX.🎶🎶💕💕🦋
I always love watching you when you get "Mitch-slapped" by the incomparable counter-tenor of Mitch Grassi. And he does it in EVERY song.

Well this Nana is in tears 🥲😭 How gorgeous this is ✨✨
Celine loved this cover. I'd suggest "Sing" or "Happy Now" if you want some of their original work.

I still get CHILLS when I hear this version. My chills get chills.
Chills,right? All day.💕✌🏼🙏🏻
That chord at 5:08….holy….fuck….me….that was the most beautiful combination of voices I’ve heard

When Scott comes in at 2:45 your expression is one of astonishment. Me too. By now you realize that Pentatonix doesn't do covers. They do upgrades.

This is their latest and what they can do. It is amazing. I did see them in concert last November. They are amazing live
Its like the best punch in the gut, every single time they sing.

A must review from you: My Heart With You
This makes me tear up
Every time from the sheer beauty
Of this. They are so amazing
Thank you
Very nice, genuine reaction. Will watch all if your pentatonix journey. Can't wait.
The Perfection that is Pentatonix! Masters of their craft!
This song makes me choke up. Every. Single. Time.
In my opinion, they are the best at what they do.
Love Again. From their Daft Punk era, but an original of theirs. And Mad World is an amazing cover.
This is my favorite sonf of PTX.
I love Celine Dion and they just sang this song so amazing.
❤😁🎶
I've watched a bunch of reactions to this song and that moment where Scott starts singing Italian always melts brains.
Mitch's fluttery runs breaks people too.
Finally ! Your a believer ! In this song you got to witness what is called the PTX "Wall of Power ". If you want to hear the range and vocal power of Kirstin play "Amazing Grace". She will melt your heart. For a fun side watch "Butter x Dynamite". For a sultry Kirstie watch "Be My Eyes ".
I believe you would appreciate their rendition of Amazing Grace. They each get a chance to shine.
I know we've told you already - Pentatonix doesn't do covers! They do upgrades!
Beautiful ☀️
I think you just discovered that PTX doesn't actually do covers. They do upgrades. LOVE your reactions.
Scott said every night in concert that this was on Celine Dion's Christmas album. He also said in the behind the scenes video this was the best thing they have ever done and everyone that has heard it agrees I think. Lol. You picked the two parts that they themselves went crazy over when they heard the mix. I'll tell you about that in my next comment.
I love how every video you say, "I'm not ready for this" as soon as you start it 😂
The popular version of the song was by Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. HOWEVER, the song originates from the sound track of an animated movie called "Quest For Camelot." Celine Dion was the singing voice of the mother of the leading protagonist in the movie. A village gets raided by bad guys and a young girl leaps to her horse to go to Camelot and get help for the suffering village. As she disappears in the distance, pursued by some of the baddies, the mother sings her prayer "Let HER find her way" and "Lead her to a place..." etc. Originally it was a mother's prayer. Celine sings it as the girl heads out on her quest. Then some years later, Carole Bayer Sager (who wrote the song) worked with them for the duet that YOU remember.
If they decide to it….they’ll only do it 10000000%!!
Great reactions . I immensely enjoy your comments . I would love to hear your reactions of “ run to you “ an original composition and their cover of “ can’t help falling in love “ both are ballads but you can really hear the magnificence of their splendid vocals . Have a lovely day .
