Thanks for the lovely ending comments, Mr & Mrs! Yout heartfelt message means so much. Truly, I am in tears. Best wishes for Christmas and a blessed new year!
Avi's training in opera as a basso profundo gave him the strength, not just to create those low, low notes, but also in reaching those higher registers with power and control. For a holiday example of what he can do, check out his rendition of "O Holy Night" that he arranged at the last minute to perform as a thank you to the 3 Texas cities whose shows had needed to be postponed earlier in his 2022 tour. And he and his band gave it a Texas flavor with the pedal steel. His voice throughout the song - the first Christmas song he'd performed since leaving PTX 5 years previous, by the way - is resonant and powerful. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5cvb2qOU0o0.html
Merry Christmas! Love this song and version. I saw an interview where Scott said this was Avi's baby. Apparently, he arranged it and chose the location. Not only does Avi sing beautifully, but that rumble bass throughout is just gorgeous ! Cheers!
Such a wonderful holiday message. It’s a priviledge to meet your wife, too. Mrs.Viking, thank you for allowing your husband to spend some of his time with us- we enjoy his reactions so very much! Maybe you will join him sometime. Best wishes to your family for a glorious holiday!
This is one of the few PTX songs that fully featured Avi's beautiful voice and showed off his incredible range. Whenever I hear that rumble from Avi, I think of a comment by one of the judges on The Sing Off, Ben Folds, who referred to it as "butt-shaking bass"! Doesn't that just fit? Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Ohhhh, Mr & Mrs Viking-what a lovely surprise from a lovely couple! Mrs Viking, thank you for introducing the Mr to PTX. His emotions, caring and love of music are truly a gift. Merry Christmas to you and the family!🌟🎄🎉
Thank you for this lovely rendition of The First Noel. I forgot how sweet Avi's voice is in his higher register. And thank both you and your lovely wife for your heartfelt Christmas message. It was so nice of you to take the time to wish us a Merry Christmas and happy year's end. Love back to both of you this Christmas season.
So lovely to meet your sweet wife, she has a sweet spirit. I watch you constantly. I enjoy your reactions.....I pray 2024 is going to be a blessed year for your family. Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives.... Pam
There is "Blood Family", that which you are born into and then there is "Chosen Family" those that have no connection but the heart. The ones you are comfortable with that share your interests and beliefs. Through music, Viking, you have become a "Chosen Brother" to me. Thank you for being here with your music and the insights you bring. Mrs. Viking, thank you for sharing him with us. Much love to both of you and the children. May your holidays be joyful and full of love.
Thanks a lot to Mrs. Viking ❤ It takes courage to stand in front of the camera and you did it well. Also your message is very important! I hope you two have a very merry christmas🌲
Thank you and I'm glad you could react to this. This is my favorite PTX Christmas song. It has almost everything that makes them special. Harmonies galore. Avi's rumble to higher solo's. The 3 other gentlemen had beautiful parts. And of course, the incomparable Kirstie. She is one of the most emotive singers out there - "who's smile you can hear."
What a lovely holiday message! I truly enjoy your reactions, especially for Pentatonix! Wish all the happiest of Christmas and into the New Year! Thank you so much!
I don’t usually comment or chat but I have to thank you and your wife for the beautiful surprise at the end of another great reaction. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from sunny California.
Absolutely a fantastic reaction. I know Pentatontix has done so much Christmas music that it makes it difficult to have a favorite. However, their version of First Noel is stunning and number 1 on my list.
What a fantastic finish to the series. Beautiful music and Mrs & Mr Viking together for a special message. I really loved and enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to the coming content. Merry Christmas / Frohe Weihnachten to all Vikings and music lovers ✨🙏🎄🎹💖
Thank you for your time. Best wishes for you and your family. I look forward to another year of watching your reactions to PTX and other a cappella groups.
Hello Ms and Mr Viking. First of all, thank you for the reply to one of my all-time favorite PTX songs. And thank you for your heartwarming words. In fact, your words brought tears to my eyes. My special thanks go to Ms. Viking, who made it possible for us to find you as a reactor. I also wish you and your family a blessed Christmas. Let us practice charity all year round because that is what Jesus taught us.
The tears show…they are beautiful. I LOVE Avi’s smile too. I was lucky enough to have most of my family here tonight on Christmas Eve. Those that weren’t able to be here were either called or FaceTimed. Thank you for your heartfelt words. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Also thank the Mrs. for that computer. That was my first time meeting you. Your first Pentatonix reaction. 🎄🤗💋🥰
Thank you so much for the heartfelt message at the end! It is oh so important! And Mrs.Viking for joning you and putting herself outvthere! She was wonderful! Hope you and your family had a blessed holday
Oh my! Tears in my eyes listening to that beautiful song and watching your emotion. Then you had your sweet wife join you for a very special message…..few more tears….So tears and cheers for a happy holiday! 🤗
Beautiful! I think you might really enjoy Kevin’s Show/Kevin’s 5th from the Christmas Extravaganza 2022 livestream, or a shortened version of just Kevin’s 5th from the Hollywood Bowl 2022 livestream. Both are legitimate recordings for release, not pirated or anything. Really unique, moving, and pretty phenomenal!
Loved the message from you and your beautiful wife...it was truly heartwarming!!! May this new year bring your family joy, happiness and most of all love!!!
❤❤❤❤❤ Missed this one.... hope you've had a marvelous day... this is one of my favorites.... and I really like his version.... ❤ Thank you so much... Merry Christmas ❤️
Thank you Mr & Mrs Viking for that lovely Christmas message. Thank you Mrs. Viking for sharing him and hid wonderful reactions to some stunning music with us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉
Oh yes - what a pleasant surprise. I just loved this song since I don't know when and Pentatonics voices sound like an angel choir to me. Once more a very Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones,Viking.
Well first it was lovely to meet your wife and meet the one who loves and cares for you. Your message was beautiful and so heartfelt, thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family. As for the song, that was always my favorite PTX Cmas song, the combo of Mitch and Avi, it's just a gorgeous arrangement. I blast this in my car first off every years from Thanksgiving on. Now of course they've given us the Re-Upgrade of "Oh Holy Night" so geez, PTX just makes it harder and harder. Its still in my top 5 for sure, along with "Oh Holy Night", "The Prayer", "Say Something", "LaLa Latch", "Kiss From a Rose" and a couple of more. LOL. My math is more like Theoretical Physics so it's not really limited to 5....I mean there's "Prayers for This World", "Sweater Weather", "Colder Winter", "Amazing Grace", "Silent Night", "Star on Top", "Love Came On Christmas Day", "Christmas in Our Hearts", "Once Upon a December"....I mean geez who can get it down to a top 5 or 10 even with these guys. Its so hard and you have to use Theoretical Physics to get the match to even come close to seeming like 5!!! 😂 This one is so hauntingly beautiful in parts...I just love it! Great reaction as always!!! Can't wait to see where we go in 2024! Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❄🎄🎅
Thank you for the message Mr & Mrs Viking. It is so very true and made me cry. Ive been very lonely this season as all my families passed. My nearest realitives are cousins, neices and nephews. May God bless you both with a prosperous New Year. Mrs. Viking, you are a lovely lady and would love to see more of you. Greetings from Tennessee, USA
Very lovely message! Wishing you both and all of yours a Merry Christmas and bright and prosperous New Year with love. (You have a beautiful wife) So happy you introduced her to us. See you in the next reaction and thank you.
You guys are awesome ❤ how lovely to meet your beautiful wife and thank you for your beautiful message. It's the first time hearing First Noel from Pentatonix. I discovered PTX about 6 months ago by looking for a song on RU-vid. They popped up and I was blown away. Through PTX songs I discovered your channel and I fell in love with listening to your reactions and others reactions. Thank you and all the best to you, your lovely wife and your family. Happy New Year from New Zealand ❤
I know I am a day late, but Merry Christmas 🎄and God Bless your family. I so enjoy your reactions to Pentatonix. They really ARE Christmas music! Loved your heartfelt message. Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you so much for your wise and lovely message, Mr and Mrs Viking❤ It has been a wonderful Christmas journey for all of us. Our heart full gratitude for both of you ( there’s always great Mrs. Viking behind great Mr. Viking, you know) for spreading much positivity, kindness and goodness to the world 🌎 People like you have made this world much better place 😊 May you and your loved ones have a special Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎉
At least it's stayed up long enough for some of us to see it! ❤ You should react to Avi's live performance of O Holy Night in Austin, Texas in Dec 2022! It's very simple & beautiful!
You and your wife are beautiful souks! Thank you for the music and reactions and the ending from the heart!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!! ❤
I am thrilled, 8 days after the fact for some reason, that you were able to react to this! How absolutely lovely, meeting your wife and the messages you both shared ❤. This particular song truly let us hear the beauty of Avi’s voice, there are some others, but for me, this was probably my favorite. Thank you so much, I remember mentioning this song, but until today, New Years Day, it didn’t come across my feed. Happy New Year to you and your family, Happy 2024 Everyone!❤
This is such a gorgeous version of this song! The warmth of the beautiful vocals against the stark white background always mesmerizes me. I love your beautiful message at the end. Merry Christmas and the happiest of new years. ❤💚
