@@CoverCoach No problem. I did want to share a thought on the item of uniqueness. Their version of the song is a little dark. Whereas the setting in the movie was a cozy bedroom during a thunderstorm in which Maria (Julie Andrews) as the Nanny is singing the song to comfort the children, this setting is very uncomfortable. Scott holding a skull highlights the twist on “favorite things” and the look Kristie gives Kevin when they bump into each other is threatening. They never smile in this video. It is almost a polar opposite of the original song. Sounds light and inviting with the vocals while giving you a Night before Christmas vibe in the scenes. Really well done and entertaining.

If you haven't already you should watch their version of the 12 days of Christmas. They basically do everything you said in the begining

I’ve seen several people comment that this is the best adult musical chairs ever. Pentatonix-one of my absolute favorite things🎉🎉🎉

Exactly the character was Countess Maria von Trappe the former nanny and wife of former Captain Count von Trappe.

I think Kirstin definitely has the bewitching thing going on. And the set is absolutely telling a story. The tempo and beat is perfect for this group, led by Kevin of course. Talk about a modern twist but keeping the original feel of the song, WOW, absolutely. And PTX, as always, makes every song their own style. This rates a huge 10 for me.

PTX does the best cover of Bohemian Rhapsody I’ve seen. Hands down. I also love their upgrades of Gold, Shallow, Hallelujah, Say Something, Mr. Grinch, Mary Did You Know, Come Along, O Come AllYe Faithful, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy(Grammy)and many others that have been mentioned by other posters. Last, they have many killer medleys and “Evolution of” pieces - Daft Punk (Grammy), Michael Jackson, 90s Dance medley, just to begin.

This IS probably one of my favorite Pentatonix songs...Amazing.

Do you see yourself doing a deep dive into Pentatonix or just a couple?

Umm… The song is from The Sound of Music lol. Julie Andrews is a nun in training. She sings this to the von Trapp children when they are afraid during a thunder storm. She plays Mary Poppins as well. I don’t think Poppins is a witch; she a supernatural being for sure, but unclassifiable. Glad to see you appreciate a great Pentatonix cover. 💕🐝💕🎄

So many great covers that PTX does; Hallelujah, The Prayer, Bohemian Rhapsody, Can you feel the love tonight, Imagine, The sound of silence, etc. I enjoy this song, but I would put all these other ones listed ahead of it.

This song was not originally sung by a Witch. It was sung by a Nun in Sound Of Music!!!

A couple of things to note... My Favorite Things was NOT sung in the movie Mary Poppins. It was sung in the movie Sound of Music. A musical based on the true story of the Family Van Trappe. Julie Andrews played the role of Maria: a postulate (apprentice nun) who fell in love with Captain Van Trappe, and later married him.

With this format, I'm wondering of Ptx's mashups and "Evolution of..." videos are even viable for reactions lol It feels impossible due to there being more than one song but intriguing to see, nonetheless.

Interesting reaction..I recommend you to watch My Favorite Things by Forestella at KBS Open Concert. I'm curious for your opinion on that.

Just tossing in my two cents here. Favorite covers by Pentatpnix ... wow. That is hard. I'll give you three, it's the best I can do (In no particular order) 1. Amazing Grace. Yes. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times. What could Pentatonix do that hasn't been done before? Well. they're Pentatonix, duh! It's the best version I've ever heard; and, iirc, trended number one on the Christian Top Hits on Billboard when it was first released. 2. Imagine. A John Lennon classic. They stay beautifully true to the original while giving it that undefined Pentatonix twist. However, what sends it up here to my top 3 are the visuals. The setting is a black background and them standing around a box. Doesn't seem like it fits the setting requirement of your check list, but just wait. They tie in a truly beautiful and much needed message that is very relevant to today. Then they hit you with The Wall of Sound. You'll know what it is when you hear it. It's a can't miss. (You might want a tissue box handy. More then one reactor has fallen to tears watching it) And last but not least, 3.Radioactive. If you've seen the original by Imagine Dragons you may have been left as confused by it as I was. Pentatonix doesn't make that mistake. As a bonus it has Lindsey Sterling on violin and Kevin cello-boxing. It's an older vid but still one of my very favorite. Okay, that's my top 3. There are several others I want to add but I will leave you with these for now. Thanks for the great reaction. --A new subscriber.

Mary Poppins was a good witch.

Someone commented that they all look like a family a vampires and *you* are about to be the Yuletide dinner ... there's something weirdly sinister about the whole thing, and Kirstin is downright aggressive in her attack on the tune. (And what in the world is all over the front of Mitch's frock coat ... ?) She's become marvelously confident and fuller in voice since her recent Broadway stint. I've heard that the set designers just went nuts with what was put on the table, and the performers were just told to pick up and play with things ... hence Scott and the skull. Although it would have been in character for Mitch to beat him to it. :-)

Kirstie is Latina and speaks Spanish which I believe is her first language and in Spanish a B sounds like a V so I think what you are hearing is a bit of native language interference but it is not important she does an amazing job.

I don't mean to be picky, but it was kind of making my eye twitch. Julie Andrews didn't sing this in Mary Poppins (where you have interpreted her character as a witch - she was magical). She sang this in The Sound of Music, one of my all-time favorite classic movies. She was a postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess. Hardly a witch. I mean, for goodness sakes. Before she was the governess, she lived with nuns. Sorry, had to vent. Carry on. I do love your channel and reactions. ;-)

To cover covers you need to listen to Angelina Jordan. Try her cover of California Dreaming or I Put A Spell on You or Feeling Good. As a very young girl she had mastered not only the usual technicalities of music, she had learned how to sing like an adult, and the emotional vocabulary of jazz. She had a resonant voice, a raspy voice, a breathy voice and a belting voice. Her cover of Summertime on Norway's Got Talent is more subtle but amazing. Listen to how the second sining of the major chorus differs from the first and how she gives six distinct emotional tones to "Don't you cry."

Lol...if you can call julie andrews a witch...who qualifies for holy? Lol😉😉

Not my favorite PTX song, but only because I'm not much of a fan of the song itself. PTX certainly "upgraded" it, as they always do.

If you want to have an accurate top 10 rating for this year you should give a listen to Angelina Jordan. She has tons of covers and while a few are mostly identical to the original most have been adapted to her own unique style. On top of that she has some covers that she truly made her own. The arrangements when reworked are always her own. The most iconic ones are from a couple of years ago : I put a spell on you from Screaming Jay Hawkins : kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKt6ztF8gLvgc9Y.html Bohemian rhapsody (not the whole song unfortunately it was on AGT) : kzread.info/dash/bejne/aZuFzsyxlcS0pbA.html But she made 2 great covers this year too that should be considered for your top10 : Billie Jean kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqRqmc1yp86Yfdo.html Yesterday kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaaqwaSqg7bHYso.html She's a very young artist and if you want to appreciate the growth in her singing you should definitively start with "I put a spell on you", she was very young but it still has almost 9 million views.
