In 2017, after a performance we gathered in a closed hallway with excellence acoustics. We sang an a-cappella version of Hallelujah with the hope of bringing joy to others. #choir #sing #singing #christmas #acapella #hallelujah
My favorite this about this is how they were just vibing with each other. They knew they sounded great and the acoustics were awesome. They were each feeding off the groups passion and intensity. They just really came together for such a beautiful piece and they totally nailed it.
Same. I've come back to this video so many times. It's my favorite video and version of this song I've ever heard by far. I've been watching it for years and shown so many people.
absolutely stunning! they can all sing really well and sound great together, but props to the girl who had the solo she can belt it out better than some famous singers. She should go on the voice!
I don't care where I am, what the temperature is, who is around me, there is something about the incredibly layered harmonics, chords, and acoustics that makes me get the most intense goose bumps and full body vibrations. It is a literal observable physical reaction for the entire video. That's significant given the fact that the majority of times a chord hits you whilst listening to something, you get the feels for like just that chord or a verse or the completion of a musical phrase... but the whole entire song? nope. It's not a thing. It's a moment in history where all the planets aligned mercury was in super upside down retro-retro grade and then all the planets stopped spinning for just a moment out of awe and respect because they so needed this to be introduced to the universe. Fucking phenomenal. And the 2:39ish mark... I just cannot. So poignantly executed and punctuated with the most powerful beat of silence... man it's just executed so well. It's that performance you only dream of getting maybe once in a lifetime and we get to see them experience it in real time. It's a moment captured that is filled with palpable somberness and delivered with an incredibly gorgous tension that can never be reproduced.
Christina Tomasik Hi! This is a cover they probably did of Pentatonic's version of Hallelujah. Pentatonic's version is really beautiful, and if you haven't heard it, I recommend it.
I literally listen to this video every year multiple times but especially around Christmas. I have heard many professional versions including Pentagonix whom I love, but this one single performance out does any version ever. I wish I could have these exact people on a recording with this song. Chills and tears every time. Thank you for 4 years of filling my heart with joy.❤️
I've listened to hundreds of acapellas in my life, but THIS was the first one to give me goosebumps. I've never heard such great singing by a high school choir in my entire life.
Still makes me cry every time I hear it. This is, by far, my favorite rendition of this song. Such passionate, talented young voices. Thanks for sharing this video.
Spencer, I hope this message finds you well... In the winter of 2018. Just before Christmas. My family found out that my Grandmother, on my moms side had cancer. And although I prayed hard for her health and recovery, she lost her battle in January 2019, having just turned 90 only a few days prior. It was within this time frame of trying to stay strong for my mom and other family members, that I had come across VHHS version of Hallelujah that absolutely lifted me up from my knees. You and and everyone else in the choir should be 100% proud of yourselves for bringing so much light into such a dark time in mine. Wishing you and everyone else the best in life. -Brandon
Saw this on Facebook and had to keep searching for it since! Finally found it again and decided to "favorite" it so I don't lose it again. I like this so much better than the Pentatonix version. I really hope they get some recording equipment and get a better quality of this and sell it. I would definitely buy it!! And I know more people who would buy it as well. AMAZING voices.
the girl who sings at two minutes sounds wonderful and has the voice of an angel. a little rasp and a good sound. are you going to be singing in college
This is by far the best version of Hallelujah I've ever heard. Now I want to be part of an acapella group... Keep up the awesome work and greetings from Bavaria!
Their harmony brings tears to my eyes every time. Good God so refreshing for my soul I absolutely love listening to this. These kids are amazing and that is God’s given talent ❤️
I’ve been looking for my favorite Acapella O’ Holy Night and listened to so many versions; out of EVERY song I heard and felt (professional and otherwise) this is my absolute favorite. The emotionality, the feeling and expressiveness heard and most importantly felt, is divine and absolutely, infinitely beautiful. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you all for this and for being You! Wish there was more of you All singing. Also, lead male voice- your voice is angelic and oh I wish I could listen all day!
Towards the end of this song, there is an amazing power that fills you, I listen to this song almost everyday because no-body on earth could even come close to the power that fills your spirit like you all, especially the girl that does the solo part, I believe her voice is heaven sent. I love her voice so much, its music to my ears is undeniably heart felt.
I just started to tear up omg. This makes me want to join the choir in the high school that I'll go to (7th grade). This is absolutely beautiful. Big pat on the pack.
Hamsters, reviews, and talking oh my Doesn't matter that you're not religious, the song doesn't have an actual religious connotation if you read through ALL of the lyrics. The narrator obviously is not a believer of God and Leonard Cohen used the biblical stories as references in the song to allow the reader to understand just how violent and intense the relationship (in the song) was. 😊
Verse 1] Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 2] Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 3] Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 4] There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 5] You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
This is so amazing, I am still watching it back almost a year later. That one girl, Jenna Moulder as I have found her out to be, is amazing, and just the way her voice stands out but fits it so nicely is just outstanding.
OMG THIS GROUP IS TO DIE FOR AND I WOULD WANT THEM AT MY WEDDING WHEN I AM OLDER ( also da gurl in da santa suit thinks she all dat like let that gurl be in da moment dont feel embarrassed thats wat singing does is gets u excited and puts u in da moment) ANYWAYS I HAVE WATCH THIS OVER 32,000 times THATS HOW GOOD IT IS u should do more pentatonix covers
