Please don’t pause each time to explain your musically analysis, just play the whole video without pausing.

I saw a comment on the original video saying that it gave off the vibe of a group of vampires welcoming you to dinner and that just fits so perfectly.

Agree! Their version of “The Prayer” is, in my opinion, their best yet, and that is an extremely high bar considering all their amazing work to date.

I used to get so frustrated at numerous pauses in reactions until I realized there is a big difference between a reaction and a musical analysis put out by a professional singer/musician/vocal teacher. Then it made sense and I appreciate your take on this. I learned things and heard things for the first time that I didn't catch upon first, second, 10th hearing. THANK YOU!!!!

Sorry Susan but I think she pauses way too much and makes the reaction rather boring. I watch many many reactions and this person is too analytical to the point of nausea. Pause ad nauseum, rather terrible, but that's just the opinion of a retired person who listens to this stuff all day. I can't believe she still hasn't finished the song. LOL And she continues to pause, and pause, and pause, etc. etc.

They do indeed shift parts! Their ranges overlap hugely. Mitch and Kirstin swap soprano/alto lines all the time, and Scott sings tenor when Mitch is solidly up in his higher range (most of the time, right?). Matt has a beautiful melodic baritone, and as we all know, Scott doubles for the bass (Matt now, Avi in the early days) when the bass has a solo. Then if Kevin joins in on vocals instead of making beats, he's a tenor with a lovely soprano falsetto. I believe that Kirstin now bills herself as an alto instead of a mezzo-soprano. And Scott could power through all of them - he got dinged for overpowering his group-mates early on during the The Sing-Off. Re the skull: apparently the set dressers went nuts with what's on the table, and the group was just told to each pick something and play with it!

LOVE when Kevin joins in with vocals…he has an amazing voice just like every other member

Pentatonix modulations show how their skills in chromatic movement as an ensemble have grown over time! Killin! I love the occasions when they sing two against three as well! Your mention of Mitch at the outset is well said; being an authentic countertenor, Mitch’s emotions really come through with that timbre he expresses! As a composer-pianist, I’ve been a Pentaholic since 2012 and the growth I’ve observed in Kirstin over the last decade has, for me, been sooo heartwarming! Early on, Kirstie was wonderful, but she lacked confidence. Now, she belts right alongside the boys. She’s now an equal leg of The Trio!

Elizabeth - an assignment? Bobby McFerrin who has spent his life experimenting with voice . His own voice at first, then later voice play with an audience. His range is extensive. His body of work is worthy of a PBS study of the various periods of his life coupled with a conversation with him. I only ever found one extensive interview which helped me love him more. He seems like a giant in the charisma of voice! So a little taste through the periods of his experiments. Don’t forget when he directs famous orchestras in bare feet. Getting the players to use their voice to “play” their instrument. He has played (sang) with so many famous. People. Chic chorea is my favorite

“Don’t worry be happy”. is the least like his usual experimental work. Although he is most generally known for it. He disappeared from the pop scene after that song since he never does any thing twice. Turns out he was directing famous orchestras doing classical pieces in Bobby Mcferrin style completely under the radar of the pop world I agree that blackbird is very nice. And there is his more recent work where he uses the audience to improvise. He is really famous for his improvisation. There is a you tube video of him getting the audience to do a pentatonic scale by showing the audience the intervals through jumping sideways

I personally would love a reaction to Pentatonix's cover of "Over the River" it's epic.

Fantastic analysis! Alice in Wonderland meets Steam Punk for Christmas! I think this was the first time all 5 wore makeup. A capella for the win!

Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're getting back to another PTX reaction, and this performance was amazing. I loved Kirsten's lead vocals, Kevin's vocal percussion, and the flair of the harmony. I also enjoyed how they kept the feel of the original song, and made it more upbeat and modern. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙

Pentatonix has so much texture in all their songs. Soooo good

My favorite Pentatonix song is "God rest ye merry gentleman", turned me into a big fan. While Matt Sallee has a fantastic voice, Avi Kaplan was amazing and unique. I would love to hear you compare and contrast the two.

I'd be interested in hearing them do one of their older songs with Matt. The only time I saw them live, Avi was still in the group.

I have listened to this song so many times over the last couple years and you are pointing out things I never heard like the "pew pew". very cool. great reaction. I really hope you react to Over The River - you'll enjoy it I think.

Please don't wait a year to react to PTX's cover of The Prayer. It just came out this year and it may very well be their best work yet. A very close second is last year's "Amazing Grace" which is just spectacular.

This is why I love reaction videos, because other people catch things I missed, and I can experience the song in a new way. There were so many details that I missed

Definitely need to listen to them do The Prayer.... fantastic rendition, with Mitch really rising high.

I Just found Pentatonix.. I've never heard or realized, Accapella was so diverse, making all the different sounds vocally.. your a Hero in my Book Thank you for your Fun and Wisdom!!

Your attention to detail and picking up on all of the little background jewels is lovely to see. I really enjoy your reaction and the joy you show while watching.

So looking forward to this. They are both fun to listen to and fun to watch. Lovely and interesting harmonies that are sure to come alive with your always entertaining and inciteful commentary. I hope to have a front row seat for your performance. Give me just a moment to grab some popcorn!

Shockingly beautiful voices. My wife is a professional singer, so I've heard good singing, but I'm sitting here in awe.

This has some serious Tim Burton vibes. It almost feels like it could've been in "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

I have figured it out! You are the "Music Appreciation" professor we all wish we had as college freshmen. The genuine love and enthusiasm is SO infectious! Of course you weren't even a twinkle in your daddy's eye when I was in college... But the thought remains... The energy and positive vibes are much needed and appreciated. Thank You, Ma'am!

So good! I had not seen or heard this version before either; I was not aware of it. Thank you for your amazing reaction; yours are always a delight to watch!

You are an absolute delight to watch because of your delight. Its captivating! I so enjoy seeing people react who understand and can communicate WHY Pentatonix is so masterful. "That was awesome" may be true every time, but there's so much more to say!

I guess his name is Mitch, whoever opened with the first vocals. You said this reminded you of Tim Burton. Mitch looks almost a spot-on twin of Johnny Depp's character, Barnabas (I think), in the movie Dark Shadows.

I do think this has a really strong vampire vibe! Yes, Mitch Grassi, tenor/countertenor - 6 octave range and sings well into the soprano female range. You might like their cover of Making Christmas (from Nightmare Before Christmas) as well.

Their cover of Over the River was the most clever and amazing reimagination of a song that has never been one of my favorite Christmas songs. Please review that one!

its so enjoyable watching your reactions, you clearly get so much joy from listening to this and its fun to see.

I love how you help me hear and appreciate so many sounds. Scott's make-up is stunning, btw!

You're such a music nerd...like me. I love how you can hear all the layers at the same time and can point it out. I could watch you for days. I was wondering about the skull as well.

I can’t wrap my head around it how they memorise all these notes ! Mind boggling! And also very creative and flawlessly executed! Sparkling like thousands of little diamonds and various Crystals 😍😍😍🥰

I've listened to this reaction a few times since my first time 4 months ago. I've also listened to numerous other reactions to it. yours is the BEST!!! Each time I play this I enjoy how you break it down and add to the experience. LOVE your facial expressions and descriptions! Still. 😊

20:55 made me think of a haunted fairground merry-go-round, it was so effective. Cool vid! I first heard of these guys about 5 years ago when they were guests on a Saturday morning cooking show, here in the UK, and their personalities really impressed me, they seemed so friendly and sweet. I love their talent 👍

I've seen this many times, but the details and moments you point out and explain add so much to my enjoyment. I know you a vocal person, but go back and watch it a few more times just to catch the items dropping from overhead. A blue satin sash and a white dress are two of them.. but there are so many more... need to pause the video many times to catch them all.

I love the way she nerds out about every little thing. It's my first time here, but it felt like I was watching it with a friend and having a very technical fangirling session xD

First time actually watching this video of Pentatonic, regardless of the commentary, which was so welcome. First thought in those few moments, I said to myself, "This is "Interview With The Vampire" combine with the tea party in "Alice In Wonderland." They nailed it... if that was the intention of course. 😊

This old song that I loved as a kid , now is made fresh and up beat ! Unbelievable the degree of flawlessly interacting and made colourful ! Every member shines ! ! Great comment with a lot of loveable theatrical smiles and caresses ! I feel you appreciate and understand everything ! 🙏 thanks

I love Pentatonix and really enjoy listening to their take on this, but I also love watching you enjoy it so much.

I love Pentatonix and watching your reactions just brings a smile to my face to think that someone else likes them as much as I do for all the same reasons.

You are so fun to watch... keep 'em coming!

Mitch makes it look effortless. Kirstin has so much oomph to her voice. They are insanely cohesive as a group. Love their stuff.

I loved your reaction the absolute most!

Just seeing your anticipation was a great start! Thank you for geeking out for our education, entertainment, and absolute pleasure.

One of my favorite songs by them and for most of my life. I used to watch Sound of Music as a kid back to back to back🎶💕 But they bring such a mystery and almost dark ominous feeling to it.

Really glad I found your channel. You always do an amazing job explaining everything. A non musical person like me really appreciates the lessons 😊

Scott's voice can come across mysterious at times (especially in his part in this song which make him seem like a wizard or vampire trying to tempt you into joining them in their fun). So the skull is fitting.

My favorite way to start out my morning- a new TCV video 💜💜💜💜

No matter the greatness of the artists and songs which you're reacting to. Nothing beats your own enthusiasm. Loving it every. damn. time.

Pentatonix ! They are brilliant!

Magic for our ears and your beautiful smile ! What's not to love?

Pentatonix and Home Free, best Acapella in the last 30 years.

You caused me to appreciate them even more. Thanks

I never noticed any of this extra stuff you are pointing out. It makes the video and song even more enjoyable and I learn a lot.

I love how giddy she gets whenever she listens to music. I have a completely new appreciation of music after watching her analysis. I hear and feel more when I listen to my favorite songs.

You describe Mitch's voice exactly how I feel it 🎶💖

Absolute masterpiece

Really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing

Music is my first love. I am not educated in the technicalities of it. When I was a child, I wrote songs simply by using lines, curves & bumps. I knew what it meant & that's all that mattered. In elementary school I took up the flute. 3 months in and my teacher wanted me in first chair. When I found out what that meant, it scared me so bad that I quit. Biggest regret of my life. Anyhow, (sorry) Even though I don't understand the language, I can understand what you are saying each time I watch & find what you say fascinating. You are such a joy to go on a journey with through music. You didn't miss your calling! Thank you for all you do.🙂🙏🏼

First time hearing this song and they did great. Love the analysis

Yeah! Pentatonix! Can’t wait.

Aw yes! I love this version SO much!!

This beautiful woman has to be the most adorable person on KZread. I always love you reactions. Keep up the great work you queen

Love Pentatonix and love TheCharismaticVoice. You take that love to a whole new level thru both educational awareness and musical energy. I’m always so pumped up after your videos. I believe there was a video called After Party by Pentatonix where they talked about this video. If I remember right the producer suggested a Mad Hatter theme and they loved it and when it came to their favorite things they were told to just pick up something off the table near them. Hopefully u noticed the things falling out of thin air also throughout the video. The video is now on their premium site so it’s no longer available. Maybe others that seen this can remember other things that were talked about. Love what u do Please keep ur reactions coming

I think of this as like a scene from a Disney movie where the villain has a solo. This is Kirstin as a Disney villain singing about her favorite things while her minions dance around her. Great reaction as always!

This channel is one of my favorite things ⭐

You have some lovely communication skills! Thank you!

Just here for the giggles, and I KNOW Pentatonix will give you plenty.

Their Camera work is INSANE!

I love you explanations of what is going on.

Hello Charismatic Voice. So many great reaction videos from you!. You always seem to identify each performers best points. I don't think I have ever heard a negative comment come from you, have you?. You are a pure beautiful soul. Happy holidays.

This is only the 2nd video I've watched of you, but when you mentioned the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party vibes, we both said "I love it" at the same time afterwards, and I immediately subscribed! xD Thank you so much for the fun analysis of one of my favorite groups and songs!

This piece has “Making Christmas” vibes. I love the fact that PTX is never too precious about their arrangements-particularly on the up tempo charts! The general public has no real idea how intricate these pieces are... the chromatic harmony and the key changes! The group is made up of real genius!

This song wasn't originally thought of as a Christmas song, but has become one in recent years. This version is in a definitive December key.

Their video productions are always as fantastic as their music.

Thanks for saving it for us Ms. Preggers

When Scott first picks up the skull and looks in it's eyes, it looks so Shakespearan! Lol Like Hamlet! Also, the end reminds me of an old-time German clock with the animated characters that come out when the clock strikes the hour, which is emphasized by the moment when Scott and Mitch reach up for that final clap over Kirstin's head, but their hands don't quite meet!

First time hearing this, and OMG. I'm in my 50's, grew up watching musicals with my mother. In my 20's and 30's, picture a biker type looking guy that knew about Cab Calloway mThe Nicholas Brothers. Yes, have seen the sound of music several times, as well as 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, Oklahoma, My Fair Lady, etc. All the Bob Hope/ Bing Crosby Road to wherever. I absolutely loved this.

Should be lots of giggles for this one. Can’t wait . . .

Love it spiced up.

It has a real “Making Christmas” vibe. Pentatonix is never too precious about their arrangements...

I would have to pick up a Charismatic voice shirt cause this channel is one of my favorite things 😁

Wow! What a reaction!! Yes, the song is off the hook, insanely sick. But I already knew that. 😊 HOWEVER... It was your reaction that gathered both my immediate subscription and my like. With a single reaction you earned my profound respect for your amazing ear AND your ability to describe and explain what you are hearing. At first I thought, 'she talks too much.' As I listened I threw that initial thought overboard, and went back to the beginning. I learned more in this one reaction about style, texture, technique... than the total of what I knew before. I think I have a pretty good 'natural' ear, but your education, training, and experience made me think, "I'm a flippin' NOVICE." 🤣 And the completely endearing facial expressions (and wonderful laugh/giggle) and obvious joy you have for music just melted me! You have a new fan that will eagerly listen to any reaction I see from you! Bravo!

The Prayer - Pentatonix

The feel of this arrangement caught me off guard. I love it.

I think you should react to their new one “ the Prayer”. From their new Christmas Album. It is unbelievably beautiful. Merry Christmas

I recently watched an interview with Sting where he talked about the importance of always having a surprise early in a song to capture a listeners attention. Pentatonix has so many surprises in this song. How long does it take them to get a song to this level of perfection? So impressive. And your review was dead-on. So good. Thank you.

Tiz the season

Scott with his outfit and the skull gives me a Hamlet vibe. (“Alas, poor Yorick.”) Loved your reaction and analysis!

this song by pentatonix rendition made me smile

Amazing break down! You are our dream! A reactor that really reacts! Yes.....they like to take old classics and make them new. Thank you so much. I went to their Christmas concert last week. EPIC! Will you be able to go?

Mitch and Matt often get spotlighted for having incredible high and low ranges respectively, while Scott gets kind of relegated to "guy in the middle", but what amazes me is that, actually, he does the bass in parts where Matt sings lead, and does the high backing when Mitch sings lead, and you barely even notice it.

One of my favorite music videos purely because of how out of left field the vibe is lmao. Such a sweet and whimsical song, but the way they arranged it had this eerie Nightmare Before Christmas vibe to it, not to mention they all effectively look like vampires with the way they're styled. A bunch of immortal christmas-enthused theater nerds. Love it.

I feel a really strong effort from her to not break out into a full fangirl mode, hahah! Delightful video :)

I like that you moved your screen closer to the camera - then you don't feel so disconnected.

The "algorithm" finally decided to introduce me to you, and I am so glad it did. It started with your analysis of Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden, and I love how you instantly recognize the talent being displayed. I have now spent the last two hours combing through your channel and subscribed after the second video. If you have never heard of the Wailin' Jennys you need to give them a listen. They are incredible. Start with the album "Live at the Mauch Chunk Opera House" to get an idea of how incredible these three women are. I would love to see your reaction to any one of the songs on this album. I have played them for people before and they were amazed when they heard the applause at the end. Their voices are so pure and their harmonies so tight, the listener simply couldn't believe it was a live performance.

Aaaahh ! An Adams Family Christmas ! YAY! or is it a vampiric version of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. or is it "all of the above" it is deliriously delightful and deliciously dark. The costumes are great (especially Kirsten's) the music is not just flawless, it is imaginative, original in concept and so very interesting. Music is perhaps the strongest form of magic and PTX are master mages.

So many times I've watched this video and only just noticed the subtle eye make-up on the guys that really gives them an almost sinister appearance.

I have come to realize that this video format is one of the best to have on in the background while I do homework, so more binging of these will be occurring

I cannot wait to hear your break down of PTX's The Prayer!!
