O Holy Night - Voctave 

RIGHT!! Someone once said something about them "sharing" those long notes.... Erm.... NO! it's called CONTROL.. and they have ALLLLL of it! 😍😍😍😍

Lmao ⟟ love this

😂

They. Use. Staggered. Breathing

They. Use. Staggered. Breathing.

Andrew Braams she does have years of training but another measure I like where she doesn’t take a breath is the last two measure where she goes up to her final high note!

@@annabaker9173 that Eb that you hear is coming from Kate, not Tiffany. But I agree that she does hold out her note impressively at the end.

It's not live, it's lipsynced to a recording. When recording you can record a phrase at a time, it helps.

@@andreasvalkare559 I didn't know that about recording. But while that may be the case, I know she is still capable of holding notes for an eternity.

Andrew Braams it is also Tiffany because you can tell by the way she ends her note that it came from her as well

@Madison Shepherd As a massive fanboy of both groups, they are not in competition with each other. Other than that they are both a cappella groups, they are so completely different that they are each incomparable on their own. Even on the songs where they overlap, their takes are so dissimilar that they defy comparison. "Mary Did You Know" and "Carol of the Bells" may have been done by both groups, but there is no way to compare them, because each performance is utterly unique.

@@UserHorologium That logic doesn't make all that much sense though. At what point would you consider two performances too unique to compare to eachother? If a group performed a tweaked arrangement written by another group, is that performance unique? Even if they two performances of the same song are indeed unique, they are still comparable regardless of how different their interpretations were. I think its easy to say, without a doubt, that Voctave is more vocally impressive and more technically talented than Pentatonix, considering both as whole units. When PTX does sing more lyrical and choral music (like their version of Hallelujah for example), they still don't appear as impressive and talented as Voctave. I personally don't think the singers in PTX are *as* great as people say they are. They are really good, don't get me wrong, but they aren't God-tier, or even close to it. They are good singers, and they elevate themselves by singing in a group setting. Voctave on the other hand, in my opinion, has far more technically talented singers. Their group size also allows for more variation in tone, tambre, and interpretation when they bring someone up front to sing solo. It also helps with their mid-range support, and also they have the luxury of having two great high sopranos who float on top of the texture. Its also important to point out that the genres the two groups tend to sing are drastically different, but that doesn't mean we can't include that in out criticism. I personally think that because PTX does a lot of Pop and modern music, they are forced into using a lot of vocal production and editing to match the style, which makes me like them less. I'm not saying Voctave doesn't edit their vocals, they clearly do (as does every successful singer or group), but there is a difference between minor pitch or rhythmic adjustments vs massive vocal production with effects and constant sensitive pitch-correction etc. I don't think PTX needs that either, which is what frustrates me the most. Its a product of the genre they like to sing. Without those edits, it would sound... bad. A big part of Pop music is that "produced" sound, so they need to include it in order to match the style. I know this is 9 months late, but I felt like writing today :)

@@nadivkaspi6211 thank you 👏

Home free is also very, very good, but they are both completely different styles of a Cappella

Pentatonix could NEVER

She does. It's the Spirit within....Merry CHRISTmas everyone.

shes a sweet heart. i got the chance to meet her once. a dream come true

Wonderful voice so..Inspirational

It's so pretty that it conjures tears.

I met TIFFANY COBURN, too, at a DAVID PHELPS concert! She sang a couple solos! #perfection #allsmiles #holyspiritflowing 🕊

What an incredibly, fabulous, thoughtful and gracious comment. wow.. Her voice is warm and bright at the same time.

Tiffany is my favorite !

EXACTLY this!

That captures it perfectly. Thank you!

@@karmakomodia I think it comes from an Indian soul ... Johnathon P., if I guessed wrong: do take it as a compliment..

She should just subscribe to Voctave and do a video every time they post a new one.

Tara Simon is great. I love watching her swoon over beautiful singing :)

@@EmmaChihuahua81 Completely agree. LOL

I was thinking the same thing.

Thevesh Theva me tooooooo 😍

"Every knee shall bow" it's like when you hear "fall on your knees" it's like something spiritual letting you know it will happen!!! I ALWAYS feel something too!! Beautifully haunting almost

Me too, sometimes even before the first note. 😊

Same! I liked it while it was still buffering :)

Ditto!!

same

What a great way of thinking about that! It's hard to imagine "angel choirs", but yes, comparing them to the most amazing human voices you've ever heard?? Such a great mental picture, well thought!

Looking forward to heaven for sure!

She clearly knows God! So good!

How unimaginably wonderful is the thought of that praise to God! But, what absolutely makes me tremble is this: Zephaniah 3:17 (LSB) Yahweh your God is in your midst, A mighty one who will save. He will be joyful over you with gladness; He will be quiet in His love; He will rejoice over you with joyful singing. "He will rejoice over you with joyful singing." I can't begin. Can you imagine?! God Himself singing over us!

@@bjornegan6421 I can't imagine but I look forward with joyful anticipation

Big facts!!!

Right??? How is that humanly possible??

She did something similar to what EJ did in his lead.

How do they sing that high??? My voice cracks

I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's her or the regular soprano that hits it in the end. They are so locked in I can't tell where one ends and the other begins!

@@NickD16 It was a harmony between Tiffany (The lead) and Kate (the shorter soprano). Kate can sing much higher and cleaner high notes than Tiffany though.

oh definitely check out her star spangled banner if you haven't already!

Thats my mom!!! Ill tell her you said such sweet comments

@@pariscoburn3439 OH MY GOODNESS. Ok so... You are the closest I can ever dream of being to Tiffany but please tell her she is an INCREDIBLE singer with the most fairy godmotherly voice I've ever heard... Her expressions are EVERYTHING and I love watching her really enjoy a song... She is utterly DIVINE! I love allllll of Voctave and of course Kate is also a spectacular soprano but Tiffany has this relatable charm that can only transcend on camera if you are TRULY feeling what you're singing. I connect with her the most! If they ever come to the UK just try and stop me going! 😂😂😂 ok I think that's enough gushing... You may not even read this but if you do PER-LEASE tell her that from me!! 💖💖💖 PS... Everything from 4:00 onwards was insane! 😍😍😍😍😍

Impossible Dream I play pretty much every day because of how she sings it!! When she sings the Disney Medley (not the Princess one, the one with Kristin from Pentatonix and Jeremy) and she's hitting those high notes with Kate, her face is so cute cos you can tell she's like YAAAASSSSS! WE DID THAT!!! She is so expressive and it's a joy to see!

Ayesha Sha Sha! I just told her! She says thank you so much u helped make her day better! And im so jealous that you live in the U.K. !!!

Tiffany is the only person allowed to be a diva! ♥♥

Which one is Tiffany?

@@stardancer119 Kate is also allowed that freedom

@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 the soloist ☺️

Dude, I just found them today...

Jennifer Michelle m

I did cry! Burst into tears at the beauty of this.

Same

Kate always gets tons of credit (which is completely deserved) but Tiffany is also an incredible singer, glad she got spotlighted!!!!!

I did dry - quite a bit.

Amen Ernie! Merry Christmas.

@@GamerGuyMatt1892 same to you as well.

Lil Crafty Nook it took you until the end?! 😉

Julia Alexander 💓💓💓💓💓💓😭from🇯🇵

we have seen them live twice...you won't be disappointed! Dave & Dick

4:16

Kate ended it up with B flat 5.

I hope Disney isn’t trying to cash in on y’all... don’t sell out!!!

@@tearfromanangel89 Pretty sure a few of them work (or have worked) for Disney already :)

Lizzie Dean Makes I think she stayed in head voice. That range is still crazy though

Its not just me! I thought it was her, but some people say its Kate. I think Kate sounds more open and operatic, so I'm pretty sure Tiffany has the high note at the end!

It's not whistle register but it was headvoice note...

@@nadivkaspi6211 Kate herself confirmed in an interview that it was Tiffany who ended with that high note.

@@neerajemanuel7771 she literally moves her head at the end and opens her mouth quite a bit wider - hard to believe anyone thought it was Kate

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT...... The second di-VINE chord at 4:20.... And then at 4:27........ And when her INSANNNE high note came at the end, JC and the Bass crew just casually matching it right down the other end!? I mean. I may not be able to tell you exactly what note was what... But I have a good enough ear to know that it was spine-tinglingly exquisite and brought me to tears! I love hearing people talk about what the different chords were though, so feel free to hit me back with technicalities! 😂😂😂😂

Agree. Have loved Sandi since 1985. Hard to believe but Tiffany has a creamy smoothness that Sandi lacks. It's subtle but its there.

I have loved Sandi Patty for years. I don't think she hit notes this high.

me too -

I hear it atleast twice a day, lol!!

@@neerajemanuel7771 - Oh yeah..... Well I'm going to have my Christmas tree up and lit by Nov 1st.... Top that! 🧐

May God bless the people of Indonesia and help those suffering from the effects of the tsunami.

Keren banget ngga sih mas mas mba mba ini 😱

Indonesian fella!

@@barkydogable thank you!

@@barkydogable Amen, brother..and thank you.

Me too...and they took it to a level I've never thought could be achieved. BRAVO
