I wish I could reply to every single comment ! This video was spectacular ! The arrangement amazing ! Their voice … breathtaking ! I’m hoping this wins them their 5th Grammy ! (Hopefully Amazing Grace gets them their 4th! The Prayer isn’t eligible until 2023 Grammys)
Mate, always love your sincere reactions. Pentatonix have always produced music that brings out the deepest emotions within us. This is a testament to their talent and hard work over the years. Keep up the good work, Travis.
This is definitely Grammy worthy I agree! Hey Travis, do you have TikTok? They did a short post where they just sang a part of it to the camera and it is so good. Plus their other TikToks are hilarious as are Scott's from his! They really make me laugh.
Let hope it’s a higher number than that. They recently put forth songs and albums in 6 different categories for Grammy consideration for the next Grammys in 2022. This song and album would have to be out for the Grammys in 2023 since it didn’t make the cut off for the current upcoming Grammys.
I was wondering if this could be in the next Grammy or if it's to late. They will win ALL the awards with this one. They will definitely win with this one
Scott and Mitch are always an eargasm. It shouldn’t work since their tones are so different but somehow it always does. They make magic together when they sing. I feel like they were meant to meet at 10 years old so they could grow up singing together. We’re the lucky ones who get to be around to experience them and the rest of Pentatonix in real time. They’re all such a gift to music.
They are truly amazing!! So much so that they make me feel that their destiny was to bring us closer together....especially in these troubled times. This is what I imagine angels will sound like😃.
Once again PTX delivers a masterful performance! Not only with their voices, but the video is absolutely stunning. PTX has always had that extra talent of letting their voices be the focus, not intricate and elaborate videos unless that is what is appropriate for the song, like Love Again or Daft Punk. Personally, my favorite part is when they had the sun break through and was shining on them.
Man, at least 30 seconds you sat there with a completely stunned look on your face. I KNOW I did the same thing the first time I watched this. I couldn't pick my jaw up off the floor. Awesome reaction!
I've watched every reaction video so far, and the number of people who stop the video after Scott's second line (Nel cuore resterà) is amazing. The chest voice that you almost never hear from Scott is amazing. And Mitch is incredible. He has no break between his low and high registers. He handles the transitions better than Celine Dion. This is a mature Pentatonix and it is truly spectacular. And your reaction after the key change is one that has been repeated over and over again -- in the exact same words. Which is remarkable they can trigger the exact same response from different people.
Wel, that's just it. I don't see the stops about the Italian. I can't speak about the chest voice but hearing a Texas boy from Arlington sing--beautifully-- in Italian kinda caught my attention.
Transcendant, aren’t they? All of them! Mitch soaring straight up to heaven with those angelic vocals. It’s easy to forget that Scott is actually a proper baritone, right? He spends so much time in that pop-singer space, and then here he comes with that gorgeous bel canto part, and yup! There’s that operatic baritone. Amazing.
I remember first hearing this song on a little known movie called "Quest For Camelot" performed by Celine Dion alone. I am so happy that the song has slowly gained popularity through the many gorgeous renditions over the years, but this one beats them all. Truly, I am floored!!!
This is breathtaking. The best vocals I have ever heard. The arrangement is also one of their best. The back & forth between Mitch and Scott, the background harmonies, Kirstin's belting, Kevin's effects, Matt's deep warm bass. Everything is perfect. I cannot wait to see this live in December. Thanks for another great reaction Travis! ❤️💚
You’ve previously given us “Mitch face” and “Kevin face” but this time you gave us “Scott face” , “ PTX face” and “Kirstie face” all in one song. That only leaves “Matt face”. Watch “Mr. Grinch” to get that. You are so lucky you will get to see this performed live when you go to their show!
Kirstie's voice has definitely grown by leaps and bounds, but I noticed the biggest difference after she was on Broadway in Kinky Boots. I don't know if she learned about different ways to utilize her voice from that experience, but her range expanded and her tones became clearer and stronger and there was just this overall power that she harnessed and went to another level with. I'm so glad she's been getting more solos in their newer stuff and gets to show off all that growth.
Her growth has a lot to do also with her confidence, singing with these group of people she calls her family and that are this amazing generational talents, it gave her a ton of confidence, knowing she was also part of the immense talent they posses. She has mentioned it a couple times how in the beginning she was very shy and afraid to get solos because her confidence was just not there, but now? Damn! She has worked so hard to improve and has so much confidence in her capability and her voice is beautiful to witness the progression of an artist this talented. Same with the rest of them, they just keep sounding better and better expanding their capabilities and their limits.
Agree 100% with your comments. The first half was pretty similar to AGT but still topped it somehow. The second half left me speechless. As much as this was the Scott and Mitch show, I cannot get over how strong Kirstie was in this. Finally the powerhouse she was always meant to be. The other thing I've been geeking out about as I've re-watched this on repeat for the last 3 days is the structure. It was only on about my 20th re-watch that I noticed they structured this as a series of duets, because the original is usually sung as a duet. Mitch takes the first verse solo for a gentle start, then Scott/Mitch in the second verse, Scott/Kirstie in the third verse/bridge, then Kirstie/Mitch in the fourth, and finally back to Scott/Mitch in the last verse, at least until the final chords. Pretty sure they've never done that before. It's so beautiful and genius!
This was what I was going to comment on, and the fact that it took you a few watches to register, shows how seamless it was. It's as if they are one person. There's certainly a deep connection there, with all five of them now.
Italian speaking Scott wearing a perfect Italian Fashion Style suit jacket.Could we ask for more?....Plus they probably delivered one of the best things human ears had ever heard in all music history....
They took you by the hand, led you through the forest of fears and doubts and took you to church with the beautiful sunlight! I saw it on your face!! Last year we got Amazing Grace (AWESOME) and now The Prayer!!💞💕💫
Absolutely the best version of this song ever. The Scirstie and Mirstie moments were beautiful. It may be a good thing I can't see them in concert, because I may not survive seeing Mitch sing this live. I have to remind myself to breathe!! Your reaction was perfect. Thank you!
Thank you for the Kirstie shout-out. Mitch's performance on this is getting a lot of deserved credit amongst the reactions I've watched because he sounds beautiful, and Scott's decision to suddenly become an opera singer is utterly glorious, but when I knew they were doing this song, I wanted Kirstie on those final vocals and I got it. Her voice punches me right in the heart. This arrangement is astonishing and I don't know how this group consistently manages to astound me when I should be well-accustomed to their talent by now!
This video makes me cry. Watching your reaction, you had me sobbing. Your love for these five people and the gift they share just shines through. Your reactions are an emotional rollercoaster of pure joy and deep emotion and I for one LOVE it. (Lots of Grammy buzz out there for this one and I agree) Thanks Travis😎
I LOVED the look on your face when Scott started to sing. That is exactly how I felt. I was stunned. I think that is the BEST I have ever heard him. I just melted. We were both SCOTT SLAPPED. I agree with you that Kirstie has grown the most into her voice. She was good before but she is stunning in every way now.
Absolutely Gorgeous! I predict a Grammy! The Scenery is Beautiful. Mitch sounds like an Angel, Kirstie is Stunning. Scott singing in Italian gives me chills, Kevin & Matt are on fire. I can not stop listening to this Song. #1 Christmas Song & Album of "2021" 🙏❤
I am a big Celine Dion fan. Seen her in concert a couple times. Celine would approve 100 %. Mitch is my favorite male singer ever. He is just so AWESOME. 🥰🎙🎼
This is absolutely beautiful, I love all their Christmas stuff, out of all the A capella groups Pentatonix is the best in my opinion, the others are not even close to Pentatonix league.
Agree. The other groups are good but don’t come close to the level of this genius group. They’re just still so innovative after all these years. Always giving us better and better than before even though they were so good from the start. Ptx vol 1 and PtxMas are still good to this day.
Grammy #4 is what we just heard! Excellent reaction Travis! Absolutely stunning work from every single member! Andre & Celine will be proud! I also enjoy Celine’s duet with Josh Groban! THIS is now my favorite. Mitch soaring & Scott’s Italian! Absolutely stunning!
And just think-you get to hear this live!! Perfection. It is amazing. It is the best version of this song and I agree-their best version of themselves. ❤️❤️ Oh come all ye faithful is a good Christmas song
for me, nothing can top the original with Celine and Andrea....BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT this version is another version into itself. like, MY GOODNESS!!!! INSTANT TEARS!!!!! The OG version gives me comfort, this one brings me to tears. It's just....on its own....you can't find a proper word magnificent enough to fit it!!!
♥ I love how they end the video with 'Heeyyy', like they didn't just split the earth in two with that song. Thanks for being the best part of my day, Travis!
Pentatonix just outdid Pentatonix, yes the absolute best version of that song, and probably my favorite Pentatonix song, it’s so incredibly beautiful, just breathtaking ❤️. I totally expected that reaction from you, I was so excited when I saw it pop up ❤️. Just think, you’re going to see that live next month!!!
It does injustice to their catalog to pick a song and say "this is their best" so I won't. Instead I say **"This is PTX at the very top of their game; it may not be the best but there's nothing better."**
Travis, I had the same reaction you did and made the same awestruck faces you did, when I first heard this. Simply breathtaking!! Pretty sure we all did. I think I remember you saying you will be at the MN show this Dec. SO WILL I!! I am sooo pumped to hear this live!!! It's gonna be an amazing show. I truly hope they win a Grammy for this rendition!
Yes!!! This was STUNNING!! The most beautiful PTX has ever sounded and they've had some amazing songs before but for me this takes the top spot easily. Just think you're gonna get to hear/see them sing this live oh my gosh thats gonna be amazing!
Pentatonix has this knack of giving us the song we need the most. Just when we think we're dead inside and couldn't possibly feel emotions here comes Pentatonix. Damn you and Bless you for making me cry once again. 💖💖💖💖💖💖
I think Matt is the quiet achiever in this. His rich warm bass gave this such texture, depth and warmth. Not taking away from all of them though - stunning!
Ben: "I've got the perfect arrangement for this: Okay Mitch, you do you. Scott I want you to do you and throw in some Italian opera and then you do you. Kirsten let's go with the snow queen vibe and you do you. Kevin let's switch it up a little and you do you. Matt get in there and just do you while supporting everyone else." My goodness. It's like they all embraced their gifts and let it all go in this one song. I loved the familiar feeling of the SuperFruit connection with Scott and Mitch and how, as a duo, they compliment each other so well. Then the Trio of Scott Mitch and Kirsten like ringing bells, the kind you hear when angels get their wings. The support they get from Kevin and Matt allows them to reach heights and elicit emotions not many singers can. I just melted from the warmth of their voices.
There are not enough words to describe how beautiful this is !! I ve watched it so many times and every time it gets me crying, so so beautiful!! They look stunning and have gone to another level , if that's even possible!! Fantastic reaction Travis , thank you for sharing 💗
Mitch and Scott's wonderfulness is a given, but Kirstie's notes were full and sweet and fantastic. And Kevin's prowess is so often overlooked, but he makes us forget there aren't any instruments. Then Matt providing the foundation... Wowza.
Thanks for the terrific reaction ! I love that PTX is continuing with their perfection ! Love Mitch's tones, and Scott's Italian, both gave me chills. Superb ! :) They overwhelm me.
I cannot wait to hear this live at the Concert! (Going to the Louisville one) This is such an amazing video and song!!!! I listened to it with my Mom in the car and we just kept freaking out at how many different changes and amazing (like always) vocals they had in this one song. Such a powerful song. I love PTX
Hey Travis! This could be the most beautiful, eargasmic piece of music I have ever heard! Mitch and Scott: wow! Just wow! Then Kirstie comes in and steals the show! The backing vocals are insane and Matt and Kevin, I see you too. Both are present all the way through and sound better than ever. About the 5-part harmonies, I can only say if angels sound half as good as this than, then I (and everyone who’s going where I am) have a lot to look forward to. For all eternity!
It is nearly overwhelming in its beauty. We're mere mortals, here! Give us a break, guys. I'm speechless. Your reaction is the very best I've seen so far! Thank you.
Great reaction Travis!! Definitely agree it's the best version of the song I've ever heard. This just cracked my PTX top ten I think. How cool is it that you get to see them perform this live!!!!!
I seriously love your reactions and this one is EPIC! Thanks for all the work you do to get these done for us! Just think, you will get to see this one in person! So jealous!
Yeah this is one of their special arrangements that leave me stunned & some degree of tears. It’s so pure, angelic & just beautiful. (please don’t forget about My Favorite Things) ✌️💚
Deck the Halls, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, Little Drummer Boy, and Mr. Grinch - all of their Christmas songs are great, but these 4 stand out to me and I can't wait for your reactions!! Thanks Travis!
Omg the best!!! Mitch, this was your song to sing, you are untouchable. Scott, perfection. And everyone contributed to making this a number one, everyone of you is so gifted. I cried through the song, so emotional. Perfect song for the Christmas season, thank you Pentatonix. Number 1 fan!
I loved your reaction. I did about the same thing the first time I saw it. It is so beautiful. I have heard others do this song and they were amazing but this was breathtaking and I've listened over and over and can't get enough. Every one of the members of Pentatonix is soooo talented and do soooo much with their gift. I hope they never stop finding new songs to make fantastic. I am in awe of their talent. I was in awe as each member did what they do best (make beautiful music with their beautiful gift) and the more times I listened, the more I noticed each individual talent. You are ALL amazing. I'm glad I happened to be listening with my teenage girls one day and heard beautiful harmony from a group of singers called "Pentatonix". I have heard and loved them and am still amazed by them. Thank you Pentatonix for sharing your gifts.
Mitch.... Omg. The whole song is unreal. Gorgeous. Mitch!!!! When Scott came in with the Italian, I nearly burst into tears. Holy crap. This entire thing is just beauty in our ears. If there is a heaven, I bet Pentatonix is played on repeat.
Wow your reaction is so heart felt and I never thought they could beat amazing grace but wow they did they all sound so amazing love them By the way loved your saying pentatonix eargasm haha 😂😂 🥰
Scott, Mitch, Kevin, Kirstie, and Matt represent the epitome of pure A Cappella Talent. Travis, you once called them the most talented singers on the Planet. And yet, even after making such a declaration, they continue to surprise us. Ben Folds in the Sing Off once wondered how much new stuff could come out of them. No limits. Their work ethic, their love for music and their love of singing with each other are all unparalleled and it shows. I didn't have a favorite group before I discovered Pentatonix. Now I do.
The minute I finished watching this video - with chills and tears throughout the whole thing - I could not wait for your reaction!! Love that you love and appreciate them as much as we do!! ♥️🙏🏻♥️
