I had to re-upload this video...(for those of you who have already seen it, yes I had it up for a few weeks) It was blocked worldwide, so I've re-edited with the blur in the hopes that this one will stay up! Fingers crossed! 🤞

That SHOULD be enough to do it for you. 🤞 I should mention a couple of things that won't get blocked. Just about anything live is safe. To get really good live videos, though, I recommend Vevo live recordings or "live feeds." A live feed is a recording of a concert, made by the venue's cameras, hooked directly into the sound system, and they tend to be extremely good, like having the best seat in the house. The other thing that won't get blocked is "Todrick Hall - The Wizard of Ahhhs (ft. Pentatonix)": kzread.info/dash/bejne/g5-Kx62bYszNoso.html The reason it doesn't get blocked is that its copyrights are owned by Todrick, not RCA, and Todrick seems to be more interested in good publicity than in stomping on innocent reactors. (I regret to say that Todrick has gotten a lot of bad publicity since he made "The Wizard of Ahhhs," for very good reasons; he appears to be something of a jerk. But making copyright claims against other KZreadrs isn't one of his vices.) The only problem with "Wizardof Ahhhs" is that it's an homage to _The Wizard of Oz,_ the 1939 film starting Judy Garland, and it won't make sense if you aren't familiar with the film, so take care of that first.

@margretrosenberg420 oh I know the Wizard of Oz VERY well! I actually bought the DVD for our kids because it's so iconic! Occasionally we get blocks that will go away after 48 hours as long as you have "disputed the claim"... but they can still come back within 30 days and reject your claim, which reinstates the block. It's very frustrating and honestly confounding, because RCA, or whoever made the initial copyright claim will make money from us, the reactors, if they just let the video stay up. We rarely get to monetize videos anyway. So they're kind of shooting themselves in the foot by blocking a video. 🤷‍♀️ Ah well, such is life as a reaction channel. Thanks for the tips by the way! Cheers 🍻

@@MrsRealistic In that case, you will absolutely LOVE "Wizard of Ahhhs." Kirstin just shines as Dorothy, AND Glinda, AND The Wicked Witch of the West Side. Scott plays the Scarecrow; Mitch plays the Tin Man; Avi plays the Cowardly Lion; and Kevin plays Toto (they were running out of roles and they needed Kevin to be in every scene, though he seems to do an awful lot of singing for a dog). Todrick plays the Wizard. It's about 8 minutes long, though, so be sure to set aside enough time for your reaction. As for RCA, I don't know. My best guess is that they're afraid that if they don't enforce their copyrights to the hilt they may lose the rights altogether. I don't THINK that's the way the law works, but I haven't researched it so I don't know. Certainly reaction videos should count as fair use, but I've heard that there's some question of whether fair use applies to videos. It's thoroughly messed up.

A Christmas song that will floor you, move you, and likely make you tear up is their version of O Holy Night! Might be the best thing they've ever done actually....

Leonard Cohen wrote HALLELUJAH and said that PTX was the Best version he heard of the 400+ versions. Dolly sings Jolene with PTX for their 3rd Grammy. Guarantee NOT to cry: SING, names in credits as it ends and see their beginning. You might dance but you will not cry.

Beautiful reaction - I do the same thing - this group has helped me through a lot in the past couple years - enjoy the rabbit hole

You want to be gutted? Listen to their official Pentatonix The Prayer and Amazing Grace. And Daft Punk. And especially BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY!!!

Another song that shows off Avi’s higher range is “Imagine”. It is also so special in its message.

There is something so special about their ability, to tell the songs story, allowing us to listen with a new perspective, and hear & feel emotions, we may not have heard from the original artist 💖💖💖 Not only their voices, but their delivery is also their gift! *IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix* They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗💗💗 *They are individually so talented, however, when put together, it is truly magical* 💗💗💗 Thank you for such a thoughtful reaction 💗💗💗

You could try '90's Dance Medley', 'Daft Punk Medley', "Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Coffee in Bed' (there's a live version of that one), all very uptempo, and won't make you cry, promise.

There are PTX songs that will not likely make you cry - but there aren't any I've found without a "gobsmacked" section, Watch "Sing" - it's uplifting and happy.

You need to hear the live version of Hallelujah with Avi in it, also Run to you was beautiful

Folks have noted that Scott takes over the bass in verse 2. I believe that's correct. Some people believe that they cheated here and double-tracked Avi. I can't prove that they didn't. However... PTX also has two live versions of this song online. One with Avi, and one with Matt. In the Avi live version, you can clearly see when Scott seamlessly takes over the bass. And that bassline, as well as everything else in that version, is not materially different from this studio version. So anyway, Scott CAN do it.

My two clear favourites for this song are this one, and Jeff Buckleys beautiful stripped back version.... just him and his electric guitar. Very different versions but equally beautiful.

They do Jolene…. With Dolly Parton!

@MrsRealistic

I covered that one... it's on my pentatonix Playlist 😁👍

I know you've heard Matt sing, because you've reacted to their -cover- upgrade of "Sound of Silence," but that was recorded five years ago, and bass voices improve with age. Now that you've heard Avi's arrangement of the second verse of "Hallelujah," I recommend that you listen to a recent live stream of "Hallelujah," to hear Matt's arrangement of the second verse. It seems to have been written with the intention of showing off his full range, which is truly spectacular. This is a live feed from the Hollywood Bowl, from late last year: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eKWkysqJkdPRn8Y.htmlsi=tC6Ew07JGeQKQvDL

"Change" was Avi's first solo release in March 2019, once he was clear of the clause in his separation contract that did not allow him to release /perform his own music for almost 2 years after leaving. When you watch that video, keep in mind that first, it's an original (90+% of his music is original), and second he does all the backing vocals and sounds other than organ and tambourine in the bridge. For something a bit newer and very different, check out the 7 Layers Sessions version of his "All Is Well", filmed in a church in Utrecht, Netherlands during his 2022 European tour. Stunningly beautiful. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYKexKN6mqmahMo.html

If you don't want to cry to their Christmas music, you might want to avoid "Mary did you know". If you listen to Epica ft. Floor Jansen, you might want to avoid "Stabat Mater Dolorosa" because it is inherently a song of mourning.

My recommendation from PTX is you should watch them sing Amazing Grace my chains are gone
