This is a nod to Kevin’s Nigerian roots. I love this version so much!! It is in my exercise playlist.

I'm not sure there is an "original" to this song. It's a very old Christmas carol. Usually sung in an attitude closer to a hymn. A favorite of choirs. I think it's just fine with only five of them. I like the African vibe and I really like that they make it so happy. Yes, they're in a church. My goodness this wouldn't be the same without that velvet bass!

Agreed...all points!!!

You probably have heard the traditional version many times, but just don't realize it because it's completely different than this version...much slower and more reverent. As far as I'm concerned, THIS is how this song should ALWAYS be performed! Blows the traditional arrangement right out of the water!

Absolutely my favorite version of the song. Sang it many times in choirs in Jr. High and High School, and heard many people and groups perform it. This takes the prize hands down.

Indeed! It's more of a operatic hymn in its original Latin form Adeste Fideles

The original song sounds like very traditional Christmas song. PENTATONIX decorated it with Joyful sparkling sounds!

O Come All Ye Faithful, originally in Latin, "Adeste Fideles" 1604. We used to sing it in Catholic Mass, at Christmas time. I love their version, because it's so lively and fun. I love the hint of shoes and red robes, and the glorious voices. They are having so much fun. I love PTX ! Thanks Bayo !

The most joyous version I've ever heard!!!

The original is also known as Adeste Fidelis. Centuries old Christmas carol.

My darling, "O come all ye faithful" is an old well known Christmas carol, so me thinks you are going to be a bit disappointed. This version is so alive and happy and African in flavour. LOVE it!! Stay safe.

"O Come, All Ye Faithful" (originally written in Latin as Adeste Fideles) is a Christmas carol that has been attributed to various authors, including John Francis Wade (1711-1786), John Reading (1645-1692), King John IV of Portugal (1604-1656), and anonymous Cistercian monks.

IMO, any PTX 'Christmas' song can be played any time during the year. And they should be. Our society as deed certain hymns a holiday songs but all hymns are prayers and prayers are said the whole year thru so, play 'em! 🥰

this is my #1 favorite Pentatonix cover!! I listen to this version over and over! even on non winter holiday days!

I hope you will take a moment to go listen to a traditional version of this song, just to appreciate their artistic take on it. It is a nod to Kevin's heritage. It is a favorite of mine. Lifts the soul.

I really think you’ll be surprised when you hear the traditional version. I find it hard to believe you never heard it before. I think they updated it so much you didn’t recognize it. A great version of an old Christmas hymn.

It's amazing how the spirit of God can lift your spirits.

"O Come All Ye Faithful" is a very old Christmas carol. When I was a girl, 60 or so years ago, it was one of the standard songs we sang when we went door to door caroling, because *everyone* knew it. I suspect that if you heard a traditional rendition of it you'd recognize it immediately. But Pentatonix has given it an African vibe that's totally new, and they've turned it from a solemn hymn into something joyful that invites you to dance.

this is a very old Christmas carol which the beatboxer Kevin Orusola arranged with his native Nigerian high life rythem

It's a 300 years old Christmas song with the Latin name "Ardeste Fedeles". Check the version on KZread called "O Come, All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles) at Westminster Abbey" and you'll see "the original" :)

Oh yes. "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (originally written in Latin as Adeste Fideles) is a Christmas carol that has been attributed to various authors, including John Francis Wade (1711-1786), John Reading (1645-1692), King John IV of Portugal (1604-1656), and anonymous Cistercian monks.

This is one of my favorites! It’s a carol written in the 1700’s, but never done as well!

Looks like its origins date back to the 1700's, but leave it to PTX to bring it into the 21st century with their unique flair.

I went to a Catholic grade school in the 60's. The nuns would be tearing their habits off if they heard this version🤣. Joyous as the celebration should be.

This classic Christmas carol is completely transformed by PTX, with its underlying African beat and cadence. It just blew me away the first time I heard it. Don't get me wrong - they are true to the melody, but it's all in the flavor and pure joy with which they execute that melody that makes it so special. And the African rhythm to the piece is essential to giving it that feel.

You can't sit still and not be happy listening to their version of this song. Beats the slow organ "church" version you usually hear at Christmas. Love your reactions!

You could fall asleep to the original. It was anything but joyful and triumphant.

This is one of the most famous Christmas carols, sung in churches all over during the season - the melody they are singing is basically it. Really hard to believe anyone has not heard it! The verse Scott sings at the beginning is the melody of "the original" hymn. Kevin has put an African rhythm and background to it.

They gave it a new life, the traditional song is like most Xmas songs. Very religious and old. This one is more modern speaks to more people.

It is a traditional Christmas hymn, typically soft. This is the best ever!

Love watching you fall deeper into the PTX rabbit hole! This is THE version of this song for me! So joyful and lifting .. it’s impossible not to bop and smile!

Great reaction (as always)! This is my favorite Christmas song by them - like you said, it is so joyful

The one thing I love about this video is Mitch and Kevin they were dancing all the way through it I d love a Mitch groove haha great reaction thank you ❤️

Consider this an honor, bestowed upon you from someone who doesn't join/subscribe very often. I dunno what it is about you, but I like you, tatoos and all. How wonderful it is that someone who is an avowed heavy metal fan can become so enthralled by a group like Pentatonix! Carry on luv!

Loved this reaction Bayo - the joy on your face gave me the biggest smile ever. If I could have 'liked' this twice, I would have. Keep doing what you are doing and you'll get your well deserved 100k :)

So glad you did this one! This is my absolute favorite Christmas song by Ptx & I just KNEW you'd love it! It is a very old hymn & the traditional version is much more somber. Yes, Ptx did their famous twist & made this song come alive to bring happiness & joy to all who hear it!!!

I always loved that song. Before the pandemic I sang in the church choir and we sung the original. This version from PTX will always have a special place in my familys heart - for a very sad reason. About one year ago my little niece passed away and my brother and sister-in-law played this version on her funeral as the little one loved it and used to dance to it. R.I.P. Semira 👼

I knew you'd love this one, Bayo! The Five do their usual incredible job, but it's like waiting for you to get 'mitch-slapped' - that second of dawning when you understand that the chorus they started just keeps building bigger and bigger behind them, and you realize that this really IS special!

I agree, this is what we all need. a beautifully uplifting and powerful sing you feel in your soul. I'm surprised you haven't heard this song. I hear it every christmas, but never as beautifully done as it is here.

used to have to sing this every christmas at school in asembly many many many years ago lol this is more lion king verstion love it xx

This always makes me dance with joy! Thanks Bayo ❤️

Wow! Goosebumps 😍what a amazing cover of this song.❤️love you Bayo

I absolutely love watching Mitch in this video, he's having so much fun, I was very fortunate my mom and I went to PTX a month before she passed away unexpectedly on Dec 31. I remember watching some of your videos after your grandfather passed and how close you were to him. My mom was my first best friend. PTX music gives me happy thoughts when I'm having a bad day.

IIRC, they filmed this in Nashville or maybe Memphis with a local choir. The audio was recorded in LA with studio singers, though.

This is nothing like the original, beat and rhythm wise, but in my opinion, THIS is how this song should always be done. LOL

Like how pumped would you be if your church choir was asked to sing back up for PENTATONIX!!!!!! This one made me cry. Not sure why.

I love your reactions. And you always lift my spirits, for which I thank you! I can always count on you to brighten my day. I hope you continue to enjoy making your videos as much as we subscribers enjoy watching them.

Loved that. One of my favorite Christmas songs that they do. Always makes me feel happy.

😊 what a great reaction. Personally PTX Christmas songs are great any time of year.

Every day is PTXmas Day! This is my favourite carol! Love it💓💓💓

You should listen to the traditional Christmas carol version so that you can really appreciate their arrangement here - what Pentatonix have done with it is nothing short of amazing, such an improvement on the traditional!

FINALLYYYYYY

Fantastic reaction B! You looked like you were having such fun!

Thank you BAYO. I absolutely adore you and your channel. You are a bright spot in this crazy world and I love your energy and your smiles. Your reactions do indeed “lift me.” 💕

Clapping along with you Bayo! Great reaction. Love this song.

It's in my churchs hymnal (Church of Christ) for as long as I can remember. It's an American church song.

My gosh you sound system is perfect....I always use my headphones to pick up the bass....but watched this with you and forgot to put them on however, Avi's bass was still pounding in my chest with his velvety, rich bass. Kirsten vocals are so pure I love her tone. Kevin is making this extra special with his clicking sounds with give the African/calypso vibe. The last part with choir is so joyful...makes one want to get up and move....hands in the air lol Love how Kirsten and Avi are moving and grooving to this....lol I agree with you Bayo it's so uplifting to watch PTX especially at this time....Stay well my friend.....Waiving from Australia

This song is literally 400 years old.

Gosh, this is an extremely old Christmas carol. I'm sure a quick google search and you can find a more traditional version. Yes, PTX made it better *winks* This version is on my Christmas playlist. I just love your reactions, keep up the good work.

If only they really sang Christmas hymns like this in church! The entire congregation would be on their feet! I’d be singing the “Yeah, Yeah” parts and dancing.

It was so fun watching you enjoying it!!

This is very old Christmas song, about going to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. It is usually sung much quieter and without the African beat, which PTX added. They have so many wonderful Christmas songs - Silent Night, The First Noel and That's Christmas to Me are a few favorites, along with Mr. Grinch, which has Matt in the lead.

Thank you for my first smile since I've had covid. I really needed that. 😇🥰

I haven't enough time to write as big comment as always, but if you're fell into ptx Christmas staff, you should react to "That's Christmas to me" (if you haven't done it yet 'cause I don't remember) This is their original Christmas song written by Kevin and it's SO GOOD. And music video is very #fcute😍

It's a traditional Christmas carol when you are on your own Google traditional oh come all ye faithful.. and you'll go "Oh Yeah'

They have given it a South African Gospel Choir vibr

Love watching your reactions to PTX. You make me smile and appreciate some PTX that I haven’t seen in a while. Have you heard from PTX at all? I think they’d appreciate you ❤️

The original is more like a hymn, you'd probably recognise it if you heard it. PTX, as per usual, make this their own! Loving you reacting to their Christmas music, despite it being March, keep going!! ❤️

The reggae beat and ALL the SMILES make this the best!!!

It's not Reggae/Caribbean, but an African beat. But I agree, his smile makes this fun to watch.

I love this channel and your reaction to this song and You!! You make this soooo much fun and your cheerful presence is contagious. If you haven’t seen the original if this song it might be cool to see or hear a version of it too compare and contrast the masterpiece that PTX recorded. If you couldn’t tell yet I’m a super Pentaholic. Keep up the fantastic reactions.

lovely reaction. ptxaholic here, leave it to ptx to do a caribbean flavor, so fantastic

If you want to hear a version that is a little more like the traditional version. Check out the version by Voctave. And TRUST me when I say you want to do it as a reaction video. Because it is absolutely amazing!

Loved your reaction and Oh! you are so in for a surprise 😃 The original song is more of a hymn so while gorgeous in its own, the Pentatonix cover is much more upbeat and fun. I do prefer Pentatonix’s cover better but when in the mood for a more ‘traditional’ theme listen to Adeste Fideles by Frank Senatra

If you haven’t yet, you should check out PTX cover of Mary, did you know ?

This is a standard classic Christmas hymn written in 1744.

If you want to see more of Avi’s bass notes, you need to check out this live performance of their original “Natural Disaster”. Scott kills the lead, but Avi is just something else with his deep bass notes, and you will not be disappointed ! Here’s the link to the best video to react to for ease of access -> kzread.info/dash/bejne/eWuAyc6IksKYkps.html

It's a hymn...

So, I know I'm 2 years late here, but I am SUPER curious as to what your thoughts were after you looked up "the original" song. Please, really, let me know, I've never heard anyone say that they hadn't heard this song before sung traditionally.

❤❤❤

Great reaction but quick question: Did you pitch it down? It sounds a little off to me and I know some reactors do that to prevent copyright and that's cool but if you didn't, I need to get my hearing checked! Love your PTX rabbit hole reactions!

I know this is much later after your reaction, I just want to point out the song is actually little faster in beat than you were showing, somehow you were playing the video in a slower speed. If you liked the vid at that speed, I think you'd love it even more on normal speed. But still enjoyed your reaction, thank you.

You really need to react to Aha Singapore live at the star vista, and if you have and I miss it....oops

Hey! If you havnt watched it yet, you should react to Hamilton! It’s a Broadway musical about American history but with a hip hop/rap twist!

Listen to Bing Crosby singing this song

When you do another home free video, I highly recommend hillbilly bones blake Shelton cover

Bayo I think you would really enjoy the cover of 'Problem' by Ariana Grande...super fun

Please, Avi Kaplan! Thank you.
