​@@michaelrunnels7660 Yes, so she said at the time, and obviously she meant it. I wonder what Mitch was thinking, though. He'd been bullied so much for his voice in high school (probably thinly disguised gay bashing, but he seems to have bought into the disguise), and as soon as he escaped high school the bullying started up again, from the producers of _The Sing-Off,_ who didn't disguise it at all; they genuinely thought that Mitch's voice might lead people to wonder about his sexual orientation and that frightened them. Except these were adults in a position of authority who were bullying Mitch now, and bullying the whole band because they were afraid of Mitch's voice. I think at that point Mitch must have been wondering where the next blow would come from. I bet that when the record label reneged on the contract Pentatonix had won Mitch blamed himself for it.

@joycewetherbee7421

@@sharonwells9593 male singers generally fall into three groups: tenor, baritone, and bass. Most tenors can comfortably sing into the alto range. Counter tenors are men who can comfortably sing soprano to operatic soprano after their voices change. I’ve learned of two more since discovering Pentatonix: Dimash Kudaibergen from Kazakhstan and a Ukrainian-Russian singer that goes by Vitas. Both can be found on KZread. Dimash is another rabbit hole, with at least a 6-octave range and singing in 16-18 languages. He grew up speaking Kazakh and Russian, is fluent in English, and working on Mandarin. Be sure to turn on closed captions if you decide to check him out. No idea of Dimash is a counter tenor or if he achieved that vocal range through training. By now though, he has extended his upper reach to whistle range and is working to extend his lower range.

Scott is a natural baritone but we seldom get to hear it like this. He can and does sing everything from bass to high tenor. They are ALL amazing singers and human beings.

What a perfect, amazing, reaction! This is one of their most beautiful arrangements - a masterpiece from start to finish. The whole album it is on, "Evergreen," was up for a Grammy. I was sure this song alone would ensure a win, but not this time (they have 3 Grammys already, though). They also did a little mini-documentary about the making of "Evergreen," which is cool to watch. They had all individually done their parts for this song except Kirstie, who was doing it at the time of filming. The hadn't performed it together, yet. They all sat Kirstie down and played her the almost completed piece and she was so hyped by how good it sounded! Yes, Mitch is incredibly gifted. Back when they were on the Sing Off, 11 or 12 years ago, Kirstie burst into tears because she was so happy that Mitch's voice was going to be heard. I gotta say, I feel the same way, Kirstin! I want everyone on Earth to hear that voice, and this group as a whole. They all have huge ranges, and monster skills! Nobody belts like Kirstie, who just got engaged, is a new Mom, put out an amazing solo album, "Love," and has been on Broadway in "Kinky Boots." Scott has so much soul and is so versatile, just got engaged, put out his first solo song, "Mars" about his fiance, Mark, and he mentors other acapella groups including an all female one, "Citizen Queen," and a children's one, "AcaPop Kids." Kevin is a Renaissance man who can sing, play cello, beatbox, cellobox, play saxaphone, speak several languages including Mandarin fluently, has a Pre-Med degree from Yale, does a faith podcast, is a husband and father, and he puts out solo tracks, too. Matt's voice is so beautiful and warm, and he is a bright shining light of a human being (I don't know where he gets his energy!) and he just got married last year. As for Mitch, he and Scott put out an EP of just the two of them a few years ago under the name "Superfruit," that has a sort of 80's vibe and I listen to it all the time, along with his unique and artistic solo work under the name "Messer." We warned you...this rabbit hole is deeeeeeep!

I may be wrong but this is just what I read in some comments somewhere at the time, but then they had to wait a year to reapply, and had to go for the whole album because this song had already been nominated. I'm sorry but Evergreen wasn't their best album, I"m not saying it was bad, just that they put out several that were better, The Prayer just could not pull the rest of the album to the level of the other artist in the running. There was some good songs on the album, just not as good as other albums. I don't know how that whole process works, so I may be completely wrong. I'm just trying to relay some information with the understanding it may be wrong. Personally I think Sony intentionally messed them up.

Thank you for sharing this reaction. I enjoyed feeling everything all over again for this song, which I first heard more than a year ago. The duet in the beginning draws on the long history that Scott and Mitch have, going back to when they were 8 years old and in community children's theater together. They dated briefly in high school, then lived together as friends for years after the group came together as Pentatonix on The Sing-Off. They have been singing together for going on 2 decades, so the natural balance of this performance is not a shock to many of us. But it's still magic! Then when the group comes together, everything good expands geometrically. Kevin's kettledrums are amazing, Matt's bass carries the whole thing, and Kirstin's belting is inspired. Someone downthread mentioned the documentary The Recording of Evergreen. I highly recommend it as well.

Brother, me too man. Seriously they get me everytime. Special is the only thing you can say.

Pentatonix is amazing! They bring so many emotions out and literal goosebumps for me. Hallelujah is one that crumbles but also uplifts me. So talented

My bf just discovered your channel and just this second showed me this video. An interesting fact about The Prayer, it was originally written with Celine and Andrea in mind for the movie Quest for Camelot(Celine english version Andrea Italian version of the movie). The Prayer was a song in the movie about protecting her daughter while she runs for help. It eventually became a duet with Celine and Andrea. That said, the first few times I watched this, I sobbed. I love watching people react to it and I hadn't cried in awhile and because you did, I did. I do also recommend you try Sound of Silence.

I first heard Pentatonix when my girls were teens. I now have great grandkids and am in my 70s. I loved them then and love them even more now. Nobody can do "The Prayer" better than this. It is beautiful and I could listen to it over and over. They are amazing. My daughters loved them too. Their voices blend so beautifully. I haven't listened to them for a while now but intend to revisit the old songs and listen to the ones I haven't heard. Thank you, I love your reactions to them.

Music and musical appreciation knows no age ;). Just as Pentatonix may make me feel like a giddy girl at some points... it transcends, transforms and just takes us places. Isn't that amazing?! See you around! And thanks for your comments! I love going through all of them!

They were only formed in 2011!!! You can’t have gine from having teenagers to great grandchildren in 12 years!

It Really never gets old. Whether I’m watching their channel or watching someone reacting to their songs it’s a beautiful experience and I can watch them over and over again. 😊👍

Your reaction, and honest emotion is beautiful....

I’ve been in love with them since 2011 when they were on Sing Off. Some of the best vocals I’ve ever heard. Their arrangements even in the early days were innovative and stunning. They were 18/19 years old then and Sara Bareillis told them they were going to be stars. She wasn’t wrong. They just get better every year.

You are NOT alone! A beautifully performed song always makes me cry, and THIS had me bringing out the tissues!

It's OK man, we ALL react this way 😊.Love your videos ❤

Thank you so much! I am glad to find likeminded people in the comments :)

I can't wait for your next reaction. You have such a pure, almost child like, heartfelt response to Pentatonix. It makes me feel so good about them. I am excited to see you react to both Amazing Grace and Imagine. Both will blow you away in different ways. I'm glad you have become one of us.

Mitch effects me in exactly the same way. Their music is truly a "thing of beauty" as you said. I agree, it's mindboggling how effortless Mitches singing is. That just proves how much of a gift it is. If you react to their "Making of Evergreen" you will see their process in recording and producing this song, then their reaction at hearing it for the first time. It's a wonder. Thank you for this beautiful reaction.

They are so special. I love them so

Absolutely stunning vocals!

Welcome to the fold! I LOVE how into the videos you get. That you stop and go back and just EXPERIENCE both the song and the visuals. This was a truly wonderful Mitch-slap. The effortlessness with which Mitch produces these insane performances it a constant source of amazement to us all. You need to do another double feature of their official video for 'Aha!' and the live version of that. I think you've come far enough in your journey as a Pentaholic to be able to truly appreciate that. Also, Avi has a solo career now. You really, really, REALLY need to check out his 'Change on the Rise'. It's actually a very nordic sounding song and Avi gets to just go to town with that deep, buttery voice of his.

It’s such a joy to hear their voices evolve and get richer and smoother over time as their skills grow more agile and precise. There isn’t a performance that doesn’t touch the soul. All of them are master craftsmen of the highest order.

Never gets old, Thank you for your realness.

That is something you will always get on the channel. This is musical therapy and discovery for me and those that watch. It doesn’t get more real than this though ;)

Can never hear this too many times. As other have suggested, do wish you would react to "Recording of Evergreen" to see how they make the magic.

It has indeed been suggested. I will watch that after the reacts as I don't want any spoilers ;)

Your reaction to this is so true, as someone who has very strong emotions to music and beauty too. This is how I feel with incredible music or incredible moments of beautiful, harmonious humanity ever, and Pentatonix is one of those groups who stirs everything in you.

Oh I hope you will do Amazing Grace next. It is also amazing. I enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to this angelic upgrade of The Prayer. And yes, I believe you have officially become a Pentaholic. Welcome to the fold.

It has most definitely made my list. It may be that or maybe Imagine. I am very curious of what Kevin can do. I’m glad you enjoyed this reaction to this amazing song. Angelic indeed :)

Love the reaction! I've been on this earth almost 52 years and this sits squarely on top of my list of all time favorites. Always get a tear and this time no exception. Another tear jerker for me is Thank You. Hope to see you react to this at some point.

Added it to the list of songs! Age does not matter at all when it comes to music. The enjoyment of music is ageless as is good music itself :)

I absolutely adore when you go back to re-listen to sections because that is exactly how I watch them too! Excellent reaction - so glad I found this rabbit hole!

I wanted to say this about Pentatonix: One of the reasons why their fanbase is so loyal and we ride for them so intensely is not ONLY because they are the most amazing singers both individually and together, but because of how they treat their fans. They are so generous and involved with their fandom, they include a VIP session at every show where they do a soundcheck for us, answer questions, and take photos (even in these pandemic times, though they can't get as close to the fans as they would like for safety reasons, they still take that time out of their touring schedule to do that for us), they provide us with so much behind the scenes fun (and this is where you really get to know them which only makes us love them more because you see how down to earth they are)...they are just incredible and I feel blessed that I chose them to Stan way back during The Sing Off days.

When Mitch hits his high notes -- I believe that even Celine Dion would shed tears from the beauty and the clarity of his vocal range. I miss Avi Kaplan, the group's original Bass singer -- and have thoroughly enjoyed hearing Kevin's (listed as Cello) "beats" and "sounds". This a Capella group have enthralled me since the first time I heard them sing "Little Drummer Boy" a few Christmases ago. Now my favourite song is "Mary Did You Know?" which was sung in a natural grotto-like cave formation. I absolutely LOVE this group. Their songs make me cry as they fill me with a plethora of emotions! 💖💕

It's only natural to be awestruck and humbled in the presence of miraculous beauty. Tears, chills, and disbelief are common reactions.

My first time hearing them out of this world absolutely fantastic angelic I can't say enough about this

Yeah i get you with the tears, because that's me as well when music speaks to my soul i cry. My daughter and grandchildren just sit with me still and listen till the end, then they gave me a big hug and said i love you. So from me to you a big hug and lots of ❤

Now this is what music is all about beautiful stunning voices and not morally corrupt thank you absolutely amazing great artists.

WOW! When all started singing I got goosebumps for the entire performance!

I'm SO disappointed that they didn't get an award for this!!!!!!!

Indeed. May we be guided by His grace. Beautifully done.

With a catalog of close to 300 songs, upgrades and originals, you have a LONG way to go!! Warning: it doesn't stop. Their cover of My Heart With You and their original Run To You show cases their perfect harmonies...no bass or beatboxing. There is NO bad song to choose and I love watching you discover them!!!

He gives me shivers.
