@@flaviocandido8866 why do u think so? even i can hit the lowest not from this song, hardly of course but it`s possible

This is probably one of the best versions of this song. I hope Pentatonix have seen this because they would be pretty proud.

That guy is an INCREDIBLE bass. Seriously had me going WTF on the "kles" of "shackles"...so LOW! Would put him against Avi and Tim Foust both. Great friggin' job, guys.

Purely my opinion and I couldn't say for sure whether or not this is actually true or not but it sounds like an octaver or similar effect is applied to the bass' microphone. Someone with better knowledge can feel free to correct but that's my two cents as a musician.

iheartknitting You could be right. At the time I first heard it I just kinda thought, for some reason, that he was singing REALLY low (like even lower than Tim Foust or Avi Kaplan can). Think I know slightly better now. And you may have a point with the octaver / octaviser bit. Idk enough to say whether it is or isn't. Think it's his true voice, but low notes can just be so tricky to the ear that we have no idea, lmao

I'm four years late, but, I didn't notice that low note. wtf? I need the singer's explanation, something must be playing with our brain, cause there is no way he got that low that easily, help me

Wow actually the best cover I have seen, everyone is really hitting their notes smoothly and harmonising so well. I do agree that the girl should have been more pronounced but apart from that, pretty fantastic!

this bass is Godlike. And i like the rest of it. good job guys.

Goosebumps every single time

My goodness. Every once and awhile I think to myself: "I want to listen to some skin-crawling good music" and none other than the Melodores pop into my head. Seriously this rendition NEVER gets old to me. Absolutely incredible and seriously makes me wish I would have stuck with choir throughout highschool and college. Unfortunately life got in the way- at least I can still listen to super good music.

Melodores doing PTX material? More please!

still here in 2020

Being a PTX fan, I can truly say that you guys did an amazing job!

This is really good, don't get me wrong. But I wish the girl would bring her part out more.

I think she is. Remember this is a PTX original, and Kristen's part was written for her, and she is a mezzo soprano. This girl is billed as a straight up soprano here and in her other Vanderbilt groups. That makes a HUGE difference. A mezzo might now have quite the high range of a soprano, but the big difference is the tone and weight of the voice. A mezzo is more earthy, tends togo towards the more sultry or belty stuff than a soprano. In many smaller choirs I have been in, half of the people in the alto section were mezzo sopranos because the sopranos were rather high. (And I am a straight up Alto II) Most of this part was written in Kirsten's mid range, where she is the most comfortable and fills the most space, has the most body. PTX is talented and has drive, but same with Ben Bram. He was a genius getting in on the ground floor, and he knows their voices so well. He is responsible for making sure their sound engineers get their blend correct on the road and in the studio. No dissing on the Melodores at all (hey, Vandy was my #3 choice) as they are definitely getting it done. William is adorable and quite proficient, but seems overpowering because his top end isnt that light countertenor of mitch's. Kevin sings the second tenor, which Augie sings here (and he is great as well) barintone was good (no one can be Scott) and I was quite pleased with the bass, better than any other cover . Even if PTX sang this song now, it would be different. Matt is excellent, technically and musically, but he doesn't have as much body and effortless power on that low end, Avi's voice type isn't super common. Upper end might be a little different too. Not bad, just different. As Mitch's voice has changed as he has continued to explore his range. He was barely 21 when this was first recorded. I think she was getting it done, but even with mixing (which they werent to fix blend) I think this part was totally written for a mezzo or alto 1.

goose bumps down to my toes... and I have the pentatonix cd...

Omg so beautiful! I'm seriously such a critic when it comes to Pentatonix b/c I'm a serious Pentaholic but this was captivating. It wasn't exactly the same but that's why it's a cover :) you guys put your own little renditions. Great job! I loved it. Best cover hands down! That bass tho!!!!

This is incredible! Run to you is my favorite song by Pentatonix and you guys covered it perfectly!

this made me bawl goddamn. sucks that i found this cover so late since this is one of my favorite songs but better late than never. absolutely beautiful! binge watching performances on this account now lol didn’t know how insane vandy’s acapella was

That was flawless wow 12 out of 10 for sure

Congrats on your win on the Sing Off! :)

I guess it's natural to compare voices and pick favorites--Me? I'll just enjoy the great music and sounds from whomever, and where ever!

Nathan Hall, y'all...

Amazing!!!

Awesome!

this is beautiful. more of this please! love all the way from Malaysia!

amazing job

Beautiful !!!!!!

💜💜💜

Wow, brilliant ❤

4 years later and im still listening to it!!!!!!!!!!

That's amazing... O_O

Was taken aback by this perfect cover

Serious full body chills. Oh my goodness. Also...the girl...oh my GOSH, she is good. Wow. (And yes, the guy in the middle [who does Latch] is excellent, too.) So is the guy on the end. And everyone blends so well...and yeah, this is just amazing. Nice job, y'all.

Love this. Out of all the covers of this song, you guys definitely did the best! Well done!

This was amazing. You guys really did the song justice. Wow.

I love this song by PTX!! You guys did an AMAZING job with it x

Fell in love with this cover. Absolutely stunning with the mixture of voices! Melodores all the way!!

Absolutely beautiful 😊❤

Amazingly done you guys 😊 you should be proud

they blend so well! ugh I'm in love with the Melodores.

Flawless.

Really good! God, this is such a beautiful song, it's made me cry so many times .

Thanks

totally deserve more views! i hope PTX see this they should be proud!

My heart.

Best performance ive heard notwithstanding PTX of course. Awesome job😊

Heavenly.

I'M CRYING

Nathan, man, you nailed that.

The bass is so damn incredible

splendid group and splendid voices !!!!! thank you very very much for this possibilities ! Marie-Laure C

really nice u guys

I love PTX and I'm usually very critical and this was amazing!!!! Holy crap!

So is this quintet gonna hit the road for a tour? Fantastic.

Excellent, especially with those moments of dissonance, I think that truly makes the song before the brief resolution each time.

oh my goodness

gente vocês muitos bons!!! parabéns! by a Brazilian girl 💚💛💚💛

Little late to the show but the bass is so rich in sound and the baritone really fits well with the bass

just... beautiful.... I love every single voice!

Привет из России! Вы молодцы, спасибо!

the soprano part is hardly audible and tbh a lot of the notes are chopped off, but this is definitely one of the most well put together covers of this song i've heard. the blending is on point and the tone is rich. the emotion is there and everyone knows their notes. very nice

Right? I kept finding myself craving those high notes.

It's the only cover of this song that's better than PTX's original.

AUGIE AUGIE AUGIE

While this is marvelous.. stunning, really... I have to wonder: Is there an additional -1 octave on some of the lowest bass notes throughout the tune? As though someone with a keyboard or synth were adding additional bottom to the line? Does anyone else hear that?

@yaw7965

hagfelsh I think there was an added -1 octave at times...I heard it too

Amazing tone !!! Perfect harmonies. I hear something at 2:05....like a mic cutting out or some effect acting up. What about the bass........is he all there or is there some effect helping? Just curious. Again, kudos. Great job.

A vocoder or something? I love it. Am interested to employ what you used.

The blend is pretty great although , the only thing wrong I found with this cover is that they can't seem to agree on rhythm either they'll come in half a beat early or half a beat late It was kind of frustrating but it got better at the end

Wow there used to be girls in melodores?

Hello guys. I'm back. After 2 years of my last critique, I've finally graduated high school and had the pleasure of listening to this song again. 1. I still think the girl is lost. 2. This tenor/alto is freaking amazing dude, idk why I thought the he was overpowering because now listening to it and having more knowledge, the tenor/alto is the lead. He's suppose to be the most overpowering because he's singing the song while the others are harmonizing. This tenor/alto guy is AMAZING. One thing I didn't like, and somehow didn't point out in my last post, is that the bass is forcing his low notes after "take my heart...." up to "shackles.." Idk if he was suppose to force it like he did but he could have kept a melodic sounding bass but instead they went for a OVERPOWERING BASS. Don't get me wrong, he's a good bass singer, but I dont think that sort of forcing of the bass should have happened. Other than that, they were all really great singers.

Y'all should do Nina Simone's feeling good

Is that Grant Gustin 2 from right of audience?

Keith Mattix Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best blending acapella groups I've heard that is not Pentatonix. (or Rajaton or Real Group, etc.) But PTX not only blend decently well but are, at the very least, 4 unique and individually extremely competent voices.

Doctors2Advocate and to add on to that, this is a song written and composed by them. I do love this performance but PTX can't be disregarded so easily.

this was actually godlike.. on par with ptx if not............

PTX definitely had a better blend and better phrasing and dynamic levels, but this still sounds good!

Ptx uses pitch modifier there still great but all artist use it cause we’re all imperfect, so of course the ptx bass part sounds very stronger, Avi is truly amazing l, but to add that bass that is heavily felt there is something added, everyone is coming at the soprano, yet In all other Cover the soprano is too much, she could of been more out, but was better then most, but besides her volume she went flat near the end, and made everyone else go flat so there that

The word “run” at 4:06 is what scares over the ending but besides that it was really cool

This is amazing but the soprano is inaudible throughout the whole thing

Call me a huge critic I guess. I think they blend well together, however their tenor is too overpowering, imo, I think a much more clear toned tenor who's falsetto comes more naturally would sound a lot nicer with the group. It honestly sounds like he has the grasp onto his balls just to get to those notes. (I'm a Bass/Baritone/Tenor 2 so I know what it's like hitting those notes and what it sounds like when you have to reach like that.) The girl looks and sings lost, she probably was nervous though, I use to be the same. But nowhere near Pentatonix. I only heard the girls voice before "I will break down the gates of Heaven." And so forth. When PTX sang that verse ^ up until that final harmonizing note of "Set me free." Is when I got absolute chills. With these guys, I didn't get it. Which really disappointed me... critique over.

You sang very well, but not better than Pentatonix but you have very much potential to be like them but Pentatonix will always be the best A cappella group l! LOVE YOU PENTATONIX! PENTAHOLIC FOR EVER&!!

This is perhaps heretical, but I like this version better than the original.
