Hi! Today's video is a first time reaction/analysis to Pentatonix performing their cover of "Hallelujah". 😇
Yes, I know that Avi is no longer a part of Pentatonix. This was a highly requested performance from the group.

    A wonderful Mitch-slap (the reaction people getting to hearing Mitch the 1st time). The catalog of PTX music on KZread is very large, so lots for you to react to. From their 1st big hit here Daft Punk Medley to their latest brilliant performance of The Prayer. Along with Imagine, Amazing Grace, Bohemian Rhapsody, all their Christmas music, Aha! (live from the Star Vista in Singapore) and so many more. Plus don't miss their off-PTX work Superfruit (Mitch and Scott, often with friends), Messer (Mitch), but also solo work by Kevin.

    Hi, again, Anna! Congratulations! I've watched many, dozens if not hundreds, of reactions to PTX singing this marvellous song and you are only the second reactor to pick up on the background vocals reproducing Jeff Buckley's guitar picking and Scott's "..minor fall and major lift..". 👍🏼 You cannot go wrong in choosing anything they've done...they've never disappointed me and I've been following them since shortly after SingOff. Sony (SME) protects them like gold, because they are just that, so copyright strikes are the norm. From that point of view, their "Evolution of..." series are safe choices. You might enjoy their cover of "Shallow". It's the only time Kirstin and Scott have sung TO each other, and Kevin does some cello-boxing. BTW, Angelina Jordan is using TikTok to experiment. A few of them are nearly full length covers. Her face is always in unobstructed close-up for your analysis in these raw videos. Her control of her instrument has jumped yet another level in the last year.

    Loved the analysis and comments on the singers, and the Mitch-slap was a real winner! While it has absolutely nothing to do with the music or performance, I've always loved the way the audience reacts to this song. You can tell that they're very aware of the arrangement, and they are also amazingly (in this day and age) polite to both the performers and other audience members. There are short outbursts of applause and cheers for favorite singers, but it very quickly dies down to silence, so that everyone at the concert can enjoy the performance without interference from the noise of the audience.

    They make us all swoon. I sang acapella a long time in school and just love their arrangements and execution. Also how they are totally selfless on working as a team to create the best sound overall. Sound or silence and the Prayer are exquisite on single song prowess. Their medleys are jaw dropping how they recreate the sounds with their voices. Daft punk won the Grammy 90s Dance Medley is arguably better than the originals Wizard of Ahhhs is a fantastic Oz reimagined Mashup

    Oh my ! I do not speak any Finnish but the sound of your voice makes me want to learn. I enjoyed and appreciated the English captions very much because what you had to say was intelligent and based on a fine understanding of voice and language. I admit that despite how much I enjoyed what you said and what I learned from it. I went back and went through it a second time with my eyes closed so I could listen to both songs; the one PTX was singing and also the one you were singing. Because while I do not understand the words, the emotions, the feelings and the innate joy you have in what you do and in life is not only apparent but it has it's own rhythm and musicality with delightful variations in tone and timbre and dynamics. When you do speak english it is done so well it is hard to believe it is not your "mother tongue". Thank you for this gift you have given us. You have enhanced my concept of Finland and the Finnish language and given me insight into the music of PTX . It is probably probably too forward and bold a thing to say but you are also a treat for people's eyes.

    I love hearing professional analyses of their performances, and yours did not disappoint! Another vocal coach reactor described Kirstin's voice as "like a blade"! You may not know that although they create the basis for their arrangements by themselves, the final product is at least as much the work of their arranger Ben Bram. Those suspended chords are one of his favorite elements. I really hope that you do more from them. I would love for you to eventually work up to their recent release The Prayer, and then watch the documentary of the process that went into their recording of the album it's from, _Evergreen_ . The video is called The Recording of Evergreen. I think you will really appreciate seeing them work with Ben, and the dedication with which they work to give individual phrases the best possible performance.

With a crazy tragic world roaring around us, God allows a spark of what we can be and what we will be one day and these young people take us to a transcendent moment and a yearning that resides so deep while we live here in this place that can not fulfill it. Having watched a few reactions all with the same response just clearly shows that when you strip away the physical we obsess over, we all have the same needs and desires and one day they will be met with perfect love and unity.

    An excellent well-informed reaction and I love the way you slip from Finnish to English and back so effortlessly. Avi is an opera trained bass with a large range and although he has a few solo slots in the Pentatonix catalogue (for example the segment of Bruckner’s Christus Factus Est’ at the beginning of the live versions of ‘Aha’ or ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ and especially ‘Standing By’ where he takes the lead), you’ll need to visit his solo work to really appreciate him. Staying with Pentatonix though, their ‘Daft Punk’ medley, their original ‘Love Again’ their heart rending version of ‘Say Something’ and their astonishing ‘Evolution of Michael Jackson’ are really worth listening to. And their version of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’! After Avi left, he was replaced by Matt - and there’s another big body of work to discover right there!

    Can't believe this is your 1ST listen to PTX! Amazing! It's called being ' Mitch Slapped' hearing Mitch's voice for the first time. { try to react to his solo of 'Your Power' 'tis incredible} I think you got 'Avi Slapped' as well! --- or was it 'Avi Melted'? 😆This is 10% of what Avi can do. For something really great & shockingly different suggest you go next to their Daft Punk Medley. They are all excellent 'lead' singers - but their blended skills are next level. Aside from the beauty of what they create together - the other standout about PTX is how they help each other to individually Shine! 😍👍 Oh, & Kevin, the Beatboxer, also has a gorgeous tenor voice and is a classical cellist - amongst many other talents! 😊 Enjoy your PTX 'Journey'.

    The Prayer is probably one of the best arrangements and vocal performances Ive heard. The Sound of Silence and Bohemian Rhapsody are also reaaaaalllly good, however you could really listen to anything they put out and get lost in the beauty. Your analysis was so beautifully articulated and I can feel your passion for music. I also appreciate how you broke down everybody, especially since Kevin’s skill gets lost in the sauce in some analysis.

    I just dropped by to watch your reaction again, because I couldn't resist! ;) And I must admit that I probably enjoyed it even more second time around. It is great to watch you as you enjoy the performance and then listen to your analysis of the (sometimes very subtle) technical elements of each PTX members performance, including Kevin who sometimes, unjustly, gets overlooked although he is a hugely important part of most performances. Thanks again for your reaction, and I hope to see more PTX reactions from you!

    Awesome reaction. It was wonderful to see you so touched by their artistry. Some people who reacted for the first time to their music video version of Hallelujah were wondering how much of a decrease in quality would be felt if they sang it live. This proves that they only put out on video what they can also perform live. Which is simply incredible. Wait till you see their Daft Punk compilation. That was mindblowing in terms of not only the quality of their vocals, but also their creativity. It won them a Grammy!

    Hello Anna, Pentatonix are masters of their craft. Thanks for the analysis. For more of Mitch's counter tenor please react to The Prayer, and for a bit of a lower register please react to Amazing Grace and Sound of Silence. Of course you will also hear amazing vocals from all of them in these songs. More PTX please
