I love that he didn’t interrupt this song every 10 seconds to make his own comments. It was easy enough to see from his facial expressions that he was moved.

From what I've heard, PTX got the ultimate compliment when, before he passed away, Leonard Cohen (who wrote "Hallelujah") watched and heard this video and stated that it was the best version of his song he'd ever heard. Considering that everybody and their brother has covered this song, that's a hell of a compliment.

Pentatonix does what I think is the greatest version of this song. It doesn't give me a Christmassy feeling.... it's a song that I can enjoy every day of the year.

Egal wie oft ich es höre immer wieder gut und beruhigend. Danke Pentatonix

Thank you for being the first “reaction” that listened to the entire song without interruption to break it down.

Oh my friend. Oh dear dear man. This is only the start of PTX. They will do this to you again and again. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

You did what SO MANY reactors fail to do and that is listen to the song in its entirety THEN react. You received the full emotional impact and it moved you...wish more reactors did this

I still think this is the most successful version of Hallelujah Always chills and tears in my eyes💖 It doesn't make me think particularly of Christmas Beep Beep 🤣☘🥰

Easily, the best reaction video ever. Barry's face, expression, said everything !!!

As near to perfection on earth as anyone will ever get.....

This is what I imagine it sounds like in heaven but not just five voices....billions

How can anyone listen to this and NOT react! Tears and chills

When Pentatonix sings Hallelujah it reaches into your soul and touches you. Never has anyone done it like Pentatonis-ever.

“There are no instruments”. My dear friend there are five instruments.

A large percentage of performers find their nitch and pretty much stick with 'what works for them'. Not happenin' with Pentatonix. Every aspect of their style is unique. From the adaptations of the songs they cover to the choice of background settings in each video, they give you something different every time. I cannot say I like everything they do, but of the things they do that I like, I REALLLLLLLY like!!! They are in a class they have created all by themselves and I wish them nothing but continued success.

The original members were the best for sure

Thank you Barry for not stopping this song multiple times. This is the way to listen, then after, discuss. You rock Barry.

Hallelujah is the highest praise you can give God.

Who needs instruments. Pentatonix gives me goosebumps and this song is so beautiful.

I am certain this is how it sounds in heaven!

The whole thing was a religious experience. This rendition was a work of art, being sung by 5 Angels.

Once you hear one Pentatonix song, you have to binge them. Everything they do is amazing.

Thanks so much for being the first reactor that has allowed this song to play all the way through and withholding their reactions until the end. That took a certain type of respect and a certain knowing and wisdom to recognize that you just don't interrupt a song like this. Once again, thank you.

Goosebumps every time I hear them sing this

Barry, you need to listen to these guys sing "Mary did you know" Sooooo beautiful.

Seeing him getting emotional when Mitchy hasn't even done his solo yet..thinking oh man your in for it now..

Pentatonix is still by far performed my favorite rendition of Hallelujah! They truly are talented and yes, there is no instruments, just pure talent! ❤️. Goosebumps every time I listen!

Absolutely one of the most talented vocal groups in modern music. Thanks for your reaction.

“Brand new band, group” Bruh.... they’ve been making me cry for years

I seriously cried after I first saw this. I remember being in awe through the whole thing and just can't believe how beautiful it was and then after it was done I just sat there and cried.

Every time I hear Hallelujah by Pentatonix, it gives me chills.

When I was listening to this for the first time, I had my eyes closed, and I felt that if I opened my eyes, God might be standing there...

Played this at my brothers funeral. Not a dry eye in the house by the end of it.

I still cry. Every time I hear this song.

How can a pro not have heard of Pentatonix before now? They've been wowing audiences online for over a decade now.

Barry, thanks for not interrupting the video of them singing!

Leonard Cohen heard this before he died and said that this was his favorite version.

The raw emotion on their faces just makes this that much better.

The depth of their voices is incredible. It touches my heart every time I hear them. This is my favorite.

It's not the pentatonix he's encountering. hes feeling the closeness of the Holy Spirit.

Their voices...all of them are like a balm that soothes the soul, and broken pieces of what we all have right now .....I love Pentatonix

Pentatonix is a demonstration of how if people are willing to work together they can create something bigger than any could create by themselves.

a broken hallelujah is the greatest expression of faith and love in God ..the purest Truth from the greatest loss and heartache

No matter how many times I hear them sing that it gets to me every time. Absolutely the best I've ever heard it sung. Thank you for bringing it to us. 😊

An introduction to Pentatonix for you: Scott: the tall blonde guy in the middle with the first solo. He's the baritone of the group but has a range of about 4 octaves. He's just as comfortable harmonizing on the high notes as he is taking the bass line when Avi is singing. Speaking of which... Avi: the guy with the beanie and the second solo. He's an amazing bass and doesn't have many solo parts but he always kills it when he does sing. He left the group in 2017 on good terms with the rest of the members and helped find his replacement, Matt. Kirstin: the only female in the group, she had the third solo. She has the least solos of the main 3 that you'll find, but she always kills it when she does sing(examples are Say Something, Sound of Silence, Imagine, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, all of which are among their best work) Mitch: He's the man with the amazing voice and the final solo in this song. He's a counter tenor, and has a purely angelic voice. Kevin: an AMAZING beatboxer, that's his main role, but he occasionally shows off his beautiful tenor voice (Imagine is a great example) and his skills with the cello, which he can play while beatboxing simultaneously. Pentatonix got their start on an old competition show called the Sing Off where acapella groups competed against each other for a $200,000 cash prize and a recording contract. Scott, Kirstin, and Mitch sang in choir together in school and have been best friends since they were teenagers. They found Avi through a friend and Kevin through one of his "cello boxing"(playing the cello and beatboxing) videos that went viral. They won the competition, you can still find the performances on RU-vid. It's amazing to watch them grow throughout the show. Unfortunately, the record label dropped them shortly after they moved out to make music, so they persevered and self produced for a while until they were picked up by another label. They are the only acapella group to ever win a Grammy, and they have won 3: for their Daft Punk medley, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Jolene ft. Dolly Parton. They're an amazing group, every one of them is one of the most talented singers in the world, and they have never released a bad song imo. Welcome my friend, a wonderful world of musical bliss awaits.

This is such a beautiful cover of Hallelujah, it definitely makes me feel Christmassy!💜😊🎄🎁🎅🏻🦌🛷

No instruments....I get goosebumps and cry EVERY SINGLE TIME!!@!

I agree with Leonard Cohen-- best version ever!!!❤❤❤❤❤

The Pentatonix version of Hallelujah is so powerful.

I am glad the Barry Bus 🚌 took a diversion to see Pentatonix

When your voice is an instrument you don't need any other. PTX could probably sing any song in history. They are that amazing!

You know what? Thank you for not pausing and commenting every minute like others do. I agree with you, I was moved as you and some many others were. But again thank you for letting us listen and then listen to comments.

Indeed, the BEST VERSION. I could listen to it over and over and over - and I do. It is so beautiful.

Pentatonic is AMAZING. THE SOUND IS ANGELIC

Of all the influencers I have loved your reaction to PTX more than any other. Barry, you are a legend. Hugs and all the best.

I CRY when I hear them....Voices so clear and PURE...And THE MIX of folks..THE RANGE!!....AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best, the most important version of this song ever made.

It choked a man.... I'm not surprised, because their performance is stunning 💥 I'm addicted to this song 🤯

They also sing amazing grace..if you cried by watching this song so you will cry more by listening amazing grace.

Gosh.every time I hear this song ,I tear up

This group is clearly blessed by God's grace in many many ways! Amen 😇

Cohen said this is his favorite version of his song.

Wow! First time listening to Pentatonix! I'm finding it difficult what words to describe their performance. Ahh! Magnificent!!

What a magnificent a capella performance! Pure perfection! Maravilloso! Bravo!

you would love their cover of the sound of silence or imagine!

Just the most amazing harmony, could almost make me a believer, again,

I can only imagine how wonderful the music will be in Heaven, when it is THIS good in a fallen world.

The first time I heard this i cried so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to Pentatonix world! They're 3xGrammys winners. They're all truly talented singers. Some recommendations: Imagine; mary, did you know? ; the sound of silence; bohemian rhapsody; daft funk But you can actually choose any songs from them! Enjoy your journey~

Oh...wait until you hear “Mary Did You Know?” I cry every time! Even when it’s the tenths time in a row listening too it!

I listen to this song every chance I get. Eyes always leak and nose always runs.

This is the video that introduced you, Barry, to me eight months ago. You have taught me how to enjoy music at a deeper level. I am forever grateful for your expertise and willingness to share. 😊

They really are the most beautiful sounding group I have ever heard! Pure music!

Amazing, I just can't stop listening to them. Their voices are like magic.

I have watched this about 100 times and I cry every time!!!!!!

I first came across Pentatonix in 2012 and the 1st videos of theirs I heard has always been my most favourite "little drummer boy".

I LOVE this song and the fact that they weren't interrupted every 10 seconds - made it that much better! I loved watching the reaction on the face of the "professional singer"! IT just doesn't get much better (EVER)!

OH YES HALLELUJAH SO BEAUTYFUL. AMEN.

The best cover of that song I have heard. I will buy their music.

That was how I reacted. I'm also a new fan of theirs.

I had a similar reaction to the first time hearing and seeing the video. Frankly, my entire faith in humanity, at least, the beauty that human beings are capable of, was restored with Hallelujah by Pentatonix. The power of it is awe-inspiring.

Congratulations to Scott and Mark! Beautiful wedding, beautiful couple. ❤❤ Best wishes to a future filled with love!!!! 🎉

LOVE this song! Best version ever! Heartwarming reaction Barry.!💖

Loved to see the shear admiration of Barry of the beautiful harmony of Pentatonix. Like to see his comment on their cover of ´Say something´.

This is the pinnacle of Pentatonix' performances.

I got an ad in the middle of this and it scared the crap out of me

Absolutely beautiful... ❤

WOW one cannot listen to this and not have tears. WOW, just WOW!

This song gets me EVERY time even though I've heard it a thousand times

Look at you over TWO MILLION views; Oh, Barry!

This BB misses you enough to listen to your reactions over again. I hope you are feeling better. You are missed.

The human voice... the ultimate musical instrument.

They call themselves a band. It always amazes me that these 5 incredibly talented people came together and fit together so well. I love the respect they show each other. No matter who has the solo, they support, not try to outshine, each other.

Such a genuine & wonderful reaction. More power to you Barry. Its nice meeting you.

Wow!! Absolutely amazing, so much talent.

So glad you found PENTATONIX they will change your world. God bless you Barry

YES, Barry! A totally spiritual moment, in and out of time! Holy, rolling on the Barry bus! Thank you for showing up, emotions up front, when you listen to so many divine musical masters!

What a beautiful song and sound. Simply amazing.

I've seen this video of Pentatonix many times as they have so many beautiful songs. Don't forget to watch! xx
