"The Prayer" is also goosebump inducing.

The Prayer is my go to to keep me grounded..it's absolutely gorgeous!!

The "drone" in the first verse by Kirstin and Kevin are a nod to how this song is often used in the US. It is often performed at funerals with a bagpipe accompaniment, and that "drone" is part of how a bagpipe operates. Kirstin's belted final verse is such a powerhouse - and then the soft finish from Kevin always surprises everyone!

I like to refer to Kevin's little finish solo as "The cherry on top"

Goosebumps every time I hear this. The fact this didn’t get a Grammy is a crime.

THIS IS ALWAYS IN MY TOP 3!!! Best arrangement ever! I LOVE Mitch’s lower register here. I NEVER get tired of hearing this song and hearing each person absolutely shine! Chills and goosebumps every time.#PTX

Perfect timing, this is more an Easter song than a Christmas hymn.

Mitch had feather on the back of his jacket as he sings like an angel.

I can’t imagine that the angels in Heaven sing much better than these gifted artists! This song is only bested by The Prayer which is my very favorite of all they have done. Even though Bohemian Rhapsody is above magnificent, The Prayer is absolutely angelic! This song just has to make everyone want to know God. Thanks for reacting to this song. ❤️ #Pentatonix #PTX

I attended their last 2 Christmas tours and they sang this both years. Talk about goosebumps, especially when they abruptly cut out after Kirstie’s solo with voices reverberating through the arena. They know how to arrange songs to get the biggest emotional punch. ❤❤

Incredibly talented artists. They NEVER miss, never. Kirstie just SOARED in this one.

They always include a non-Christmas song on their Christmas album. Amazing Grace can be sung anytime of the year. Even if it was a Christmas song, if they’re singing it, I’m listening.

They sang it on their spring/summer tour last year. Such an epic song.

Amazing grace is a poem written by a British Slaver in the late 1700s. He converted to Christianity and gave up slave trading and wrote this. This version is an updated version for a movie on the history of the poem. Kristie and Kevin recreate the drone of bagpipes at the early part of song in a nod to the older tradition.

PTX is famous for moving from one singer to the next which gives you a natural stopping point, as opposed to the middle of the individual singer's verse.

Thanks so much for doing this today, guys. It's a lovely song sung by 5 incredible artists and arranged by a phenomenal man, Ben Bram. He deserves some kudos for the work he did on this.

All 5 Pentatonix members work on their arrangements. Ben helps but he is not the only one arranging for the band.

Beautiful indeed! These 5 are amazing.

The "My Chains Are Gone" countermelody is by US Christian musician Chris Tomlin, composed for the soundtrack of a 2006 film, "Amazing Grace", about the abolition of the slavery trade in the UK. Kirstie's verse, with all the pauses in the melody, seems to be modeled after a version Tomlin did with just him at the piano. This version is popular with US evangelicals, and I suspect Matt suggested it to the group.

That is why we absolutely love our Pentatonix family. TX for this. Makes my night. Going to sleep with a smile on my face. Greetings from South Africa

This was such a needed song when it was released on their Christmas album from 2020, during Covid.

Yep, Amazing Grace is a "Christmas song" just as are Hallelujah and Kiss From A Rose... (The last one was picked by Scott because it has the word "snow" in the lyrics!)

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS 💯💯💯💯💯

This was my introduction to Pentatonix. Great Voices to a wonderful song. Enjoyed your reaction. Could tell how much you liked by the expressions on your faces!

Amazing reaction to Pentatonix, but do we expect anything less? Filmed at Wayfarer, about half hour south of Los Angeles. Unfortunately the heavy rain and mud slides have destroyed this majestic site. It is closed and unsure if/when it reopened.

Got to say, you guys rock! Excellent reaction. Can't wait for more

Recommend their original, Be My Eyes. #Pentatonix

I loved your reaction. Also love this song so much. The original is by Chris Thomlin in the movie “Amazing Grace” about one of your amazing countrymen William Wilburforce who helped to end slavery one hundred years before America.

There are several nods to the various arrangements you will hear across the US. The drones for bagpipes, backing Matt. A plucked sound for a harp, like you might hear at a wedding, backing Kirsten. A gospel choir backing Mitch. Always with the velvet braid of sound that is the signature of Pentatonix.

Yay 🎉 love this!

WILL FEED THE PENTAHOLICS FOR SURE AND GREAT SONG ONTOP OF IT

I grew up in church, and with a mother that taught music, I naturally ended up singing in choirs, ensembles, and praise teams. This particular version was very popular and I had sung it many times on stage. When PTX released this, however, I had been out of church (thus out of singing) for two years. It hit me pretty hard. I bawled my eyes out. This was also the first PTX video where my name was in the Patreon list at the end!

Was giggling to myself for the K.O. moment. There's a video of reactors reacting to Kevin. It's fun to watch.

I do like that they showcased almost everyone (sorry Matt). IMO, the most amazing arrangements of "any" music ever written are O Holy Night and The Prayer. No other arrangements can consistatly send goosebumps all over me.

Amazing Mitch!

This variation was written by Christian artist Chris Tomlin for the movie Amazing Grace, which is about how the song came about during the abolition of slavery in the UK. Has a young Benedict Cumberbatch & Ioan Gruffod in it. Great movie! I just hate that no one ever gives Chris the credit. Yes, PTX sang it beyond beautifully but it’s not their arrangement 🌻🌻

Always have to jump into the comments with you guys! LeeJay...I saw you lip syncing the lyrics, too! Always chills with this one...always. Great reaction!!

The prayer, is unbelievable ( my fve). "Imagine" will blow you away. "Kiss from a rose" is crazy. " Bohemian Rhapsody " was endorsed by Brian May himself and posted on his web page. It doesn't matter what you want to review. There are .ore ptx songs than one can count. Ya have to pick your own. IT'S ALL AMAZING! There is nothing that compares to ptx. No easy out mates. You have to explore.

Great reaction to their amazing version of this song No matter how deep in their catalog you go, every song is lovely and top quality ❤❤❤❤❤

Evidently, there are 63 billion different versions of "Amazing Grace" - "My Chains Are Gone" is only one of them.

releasing this reaction on Easter weekend, it defi fits right in. Nice review.

If you haven't heard PTX rendition of "the Prayer", you're missing out. Just superb!

Great reaction. Thank you. If u love Scott's voice, react to his song MARs

For me, this is their masterpiece. ❤

first time here, so not sure what you have watched. i am sorry if i say songs you have reacted to but, i get emotional when they sing say something. i know its an old song for them but I get goosebumps when they sang Mary Did You Know. Every thing they do is perfection. They are as humble as they were when they won the Sing Off.

Catch Mitch's tiny wings!?!

They are better than we deserve. They seem to have the ability to release songs that the world really needs to hear. Some songs that I think fall in that category are That’s Christmas to Me, Sing, Imagine, Amazing Grace, Mad World, Thank You, The Prayer, and Prayers for This World. We need to keep making Pentaholics so people can hear the beautiful and important messages that they regularly put out.

It doesn't get ANY better than PTX!

⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡ Another gorgeous rendition..

If you like this song, you will be blown away by their version of sound of silence and the prayer check it out

Scott always jokes about how they are running out of Christmas songs so they always add some non-Christmas ones 😂😂

This was written by a Brit by the way, John Newton.

This is a cover from Chris Tomlin's Christian sôngs. As far as I know this church is all glass. I can't remember exactly where, but I will take a stab and say it is in the San something Valley in California. Loved your comments!

You need to do Kiss of the Rose live at VEVO studios and O Holy Night also at VEVO live

This group, in general, is fantastic. But, being an A Cappella group where everything you hear is them with no instruments, puts them in another atmosphere

Subbed for more PTX reactions!

I never really liked this song...... BUT, This "upgrade" by PTX I have watched over, and over and over again, probably 20, or 30 times. 😆😆

If you want to see Matt take the lead on a song, react to "You're a Mean One Mr Grinch". He is the lead singer for the whole song. When you listen to it pay attention to Scott singing bass.

Nothing like being Mitch-slapped!

Oh holy night please

Stan walkers AMAZING GRACE is the best cover ever sorry. Please check it out. Not the hymnal nor my chains are gone but different, better different

Kevin is a tenor he never participates in the bass.

This was the first song where Kevin actually sang solo in the group.
