PTX is the gold standard. No one does it better than PENTATONIX.
My brother, you NEED to react to their version of "Hallelujah." The original artist, Leonard Cohen, said it was the best cover of his song he ever heard. And lemme tell you, the vocal harmonies will make you ASCEND TO A HIGHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE. It is utterly phenomenal, and you need to experience it.
The holy grail (for me) when it comes to a capella:
PTX:
Hallelujah
Mary did you know ( done)
Amazing grace (my chains are gone)
Silent night
HOME FREE:
O' holy night
Can you hear what I hear
How great thou art
Please trust me and check these out FAST! Been waiting for these FOREVER
Just to put it in context, when this videos came out, it was the first time most of us had ever heard Kevin sing. Previously, it was all beatboxing and cello. We thought four AMAZING singers and one super beatboxer was unfairly talented. But he sings beautifully too? Wow.
Have you reacted to Kiss From A Rose the VEVO live version yet? If not, you REALLY need to react to it. It's completely insane!!
Okay, I have to join the chorus: you HAVE to go listen to Vevo Live version of Kiss from a Rose, if, for no other reason, than to watch Kevin moving so smoothly between beat-boxing, incredible tenor vocals, and playing cello. Unbelievable! The entire video will blow you away.
Oh, and I THINK this was the first time we all learned that Kevin...can go RIGHT up into the rafters like that. :)
Kiss from a Rose, Amazing Grace. Imagine…..and Kevin’s 5th! You’ll love Kevin more than ever!! ❤❤
I thank God PTX is not in the same place as the big entertainment folks you named. If you knew the club they have to belong to, you would hopefully agree.
PTX has gotten their popularity by hard work and gifts from God. I pray for them to be protected from the major scene of music. They don’t need it. Those of us who love Pentatonix do so on a completely personal level and with genuine love and appreciation for who they are and what they offer. They don’t need a boost up. They can know they got where they are on their own merits and hard work with perseverance.
Im not religious but I do believe in the Holy Bible and the gospel. I do believe in this song! The way they sing it makes it even more special. This group will be there long after the other entertainers have fallen away. I believe this is true of Home Free and VoicePlay as well.
New people wake up to PTX every day and the majority stay with them. We fans are loyal. I agree with you that they should be even bigger but I really believe the way they are getting there is a more solid path to be on. Much more stable. With people like you reacting and passing on their God given talent, more people will get on board and also wonder where this band has been hiding. Thanks for the beautiful reaction.
This gorgeous song makes me cry each year as I hold my beautiful babies, especially Mitch singing "when you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of god" in the most angelic, incredible, heavenly tone.
That part gets me too, as well as the ending when he sings "The Great I AM"
Always been my favorite part of the song, even before I knew who Mitch is. Couldn't quite understand why exactly, but now that I know what this man's voice can do, I realize why I was drawn to that particular part of the song. His voice is just perfection.
Mark Lowry said that wrote the words by imagining what he would ask Mary if he sat down for a coffee with her. He reportedly loved Pentatonix's version.
(Yes, this is totally a hint that you should listen to Mark singing this with Voctave!)
If PTX's version does not give you goosebumps, something is wrong with you.
PTX is just mesmerizing! Kevin O. does sing beautifully....Adam Rupp also sings! Check out How Great Thou Art and Helplessly Hoping~
I like this version too. Homefree also did this one too. Both are good
Adam Rupp sings in How Great Thou Art, by the way 😉
This is one of my absolute favorite songs, not just Christmas songs, that PTX has done. The Kevin shock factor is always fun on reactions!
I knew as soon as Kevin sang you would almost bliss out. Kevin is the worst of the members, doggone him, he can do SO much. He plays epic cello, he has a sweet tenor, and he is smart, was pre-med when he joined. If he can dance as well... I listen to their carols all the time and I am a Pagan, who could be offended by such beauty?
Beautiful ~ one of my facvorites, Thanks!
PTX is so special. They are on tour right now. Their new one s
Kiss from a rose. Taped live is so good it melted my brain. 😂
Somewhere on an old interview Scott and Mitch told about sneaking out in High School and meeting Kirstie at a local drive thru car wash so they could sing together as it had good acoustics Can you imagine ?
They were meant to sing together. I love them
PTX IS CHRISTMAS! 🎄 On their new Christmas Album released this year, they have done a cover of ‘Kiss From A Rose’ Scott said “it has the word SNOW in the lyrics” 😂 It will BLOW your mind! Kevin Kevin Kevin!
P.s. I love PTX, but I miss what Avi brought to the group. I do also LOVE Avi’s solo work! My type of music!
Merry Christmas! 🎄
The cave they sang in was used in the old Batman TV show as the hidden entrance to the Batcave.
Someone has already recommended Home Free's version, which is very distinct. I second that. But I also recommend the Voctave version, featuring Mark Lowry, the originator/lyricist for this song. Besides being so heartfelt, he hits and holds a note that would make Mitch or Austin tip their hats (all the more impressive given that he had to use a stool for the performance because of the advance of his multiple sclerosis).
I’m so glad you pointed out the killer note that Scott sang with “the praises of the lamb” I feel like Scott was slept on in this video by a lot of people. His voice is incredible. Glad you noticed it.
This is so very beautiful! It's definitely Pentatonix! ❤
BTW - PTX just received their FIFTH Grammy Award nomination for their 2022 Christmas album!
You need to check out, "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch". Matt takes the solo and is awesome. It's also a very fun song.
Their God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen is outstanding.
I count eight christmas albums on Spotify, including their Best of/Greatest hits albums.
This rendition done by Pentatonix is just pure ear candy every single time I hear it.
On this song, all 5 of them sing.
I agree with your reaction entirely. I also don’t understand why PTX isn’t more well known. Not only do they each have a beautiful voice, but they also know how to combine them so that they are a unit, not bunch of individual singers each trying for the spotlight. They were and still are a fabulous band, and I miss Avi with them. Having said that, if he hadn’t left the band, we wouldn’t have all the incredible music he’s making now (have you heard Healing, his newest one?). And like you, I consider myself spiritual but not religious.
They're singing in the caves below Griffith Observatory in LA. Incidentally it was the Batcave in the 1960's "Batman".
They have released 8 holiday albums.
Mark Lowry wrote & sang this song many years ago. He heard PTX's version of it And was Extremely impressed with their version of his song high praise from the author indeed. This is one of my favorite of their's. Check out their version of Little Drummer Boy & Carol of The Bells both are awesome!
Voctave did a version with Mark Lowry, you should check that out, if you haven't. ❤
Love your reaction and channel. (You are the only reactor out of many that reacted exactly like I did for The Wizard Of Ahhhs. I watch yours several times a week if I need cheering up). For Christmas you really need to see their version of O Come All Ye Faithful. I was not ready for what they did with it, it was unexpected and jaw dropping. I've never heard a version that was different than the original). Also Carol Of The Bells is amazing, Mitch seemingly doesn't need to breathe while singing. We have heard them hold onto notes a long time, but this one was wild. 12 Days Of Christmas is fun.
Loved your reaction, as always. Also love the antlers! Like you, this video was the first time I had heard this song, although I've been singing Christmas carols forever. Avi's voice is like a warm blanket, and the gentle power it brings is so evident here. This was one of the first times we heard Kevin sing a full verse of a song, and that also makes it special. Looking forward to more PTX Christmas. Check out That's Christmas to Me (an original), and The First Noel, which features Avi's full range as he sings the lead in a lot of it.
This has been one of my favorite songs for a few decades when it comes to spiritual songs. Mark Lowry, the song's composer, did a recording with Voctave and it is so stunning. Hearing Kevin on this made me want more from him. Such a gorgeous tenor
if you truly want to see/hear something bonkers...you have to check out their cover of Kiss from a rose (the live Vevo version)! 🥰
I saw them do this song live last week. Their voices have matured so well that they sounded even better when they did this song.
If you haven't listened to Pentatonix cover of Amazing Grace, you should. There's a note in it that is basically an ear-gasm. Incredible
Kevin plays the cello and he is a tenor. He can beatbox and play cello at the same time. He plays the electric cello on Kiss From Rose and Shallow. They do a vocal only of The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Not exactly a Christmas song but they do an amazing slightly jazzy version of My Favorite Things.
Funny thing about Kevin's singing, he really didn't when they started but while living in LA at the start he was a roomie with Avi and Avi worked with him on his voice. Love this song so much
ABSOLUTELY ! Pentatonix are the Christmas Stewards. They really do NEED a Christmas Channel all their own on ALL the music carriers. Love your reactions, keep 'em comin'.
Yes, please react to Home Free's version and also, you owe it to yourself to listen to them do How Great Thou Art. That was the second video i ever saw tgem do, and it hooked me up as a Home Fry.
Every Christmas I try to get as many people as I can to react to Oh Come All Ye Faithful by Voctave and it's rare that someone will actually react to it so if you would I would love to see your reaction to that song
You must see Pentatonix' version of O Come All Ye Faithful. It is joyful!
This is the song that introduced me to Pentatonix and i havent looked backed since
Thank you for this - my favourite carol they did - tears every time
I think you need to research Home Free Christmas songs. You will be amazed. They have such fantastic harmony. They will captivate you !!!!!!!!!!!!!
O Holy Night will soon be one of their most watched soon, it is so totally amazing!
Saw PTX live in Kansas City last Sunday, best show, great start to the holidays❤️
This song is a perfect example, of how far above the rest of the a cappella world they are. They’ve only gotten better. The vocals perfect, arrangement stellar, and location (the bat cave) so cool. They didn’t record it, but I’m sure they did sing this song live in that cave. I would have given anything to be there. You can tell that at least four of them really felt the lyrics (Avi is Jewish)
So because Avi is Jewish, he can’t feel the lyrics? Although Avi was raised Jewish, his mother is Christian, so they celebrated both Christmas and Hanukkah.
Son of Mary is also Jewish
Have you noticed they keep a light halo around Kirstie? Also, do Dan Vasc "Angels We Have Heard On High". He sings it in 3 languages!!!!
My friend mark Lowry wrote this song!
YES❤ HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE❤❤❤😊❤
This is one of my favourite Christmas songs from them, you need to check out their version of Silent Night - sung in a part of a church! I was lucky enough to see them live in the UK earlier this year, as part of their World tour, simply amazing!
So, how many times did you go back and obsessively listen to this again? If you're like many of us, lots. It's why we Pentaholics watch so many reactions. It's like hearing it for the first time again through others.
I’m so happy to see you react to Pentatonix again! I subscribed to your channel because you play Pentatonix. And psyched we’re having the Patreon polls. You are SUCH a wonderful person, and your reactions are next level. You have such insight and are always so excited to hear each person and then how they all so crazy good together as a group. Thank you ❤
Otherworldly. Wait til you see their "Kiss From a Rose" Kevin will FREAK YOU OUT!!
The PTX rabbit hole is huge!!
Gr8 reaction.
For me, I prefer Home Free's version of this song.
Hi, DJ! This is the first time your channel was recommended to me, because of Pentatonix, most likely. You are a delight to watch reacting! I subscribed for more PTX, but I'll go back to your page and see some other song reactions! BTW - They are on their 7th - SEVENTH - Christmas album! Lots to see there! Thanks for a great reaction! I would recommend O Come All Ye Faithful (also, with Avi) and You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, with the new bass, Matt, in the lead.
You should check out "Home Free's" version of this song!
This is absolutely my favorite thing Pentatonix ever recorded. This video of theirs rocketed this song into my top 5 Christmas songs, ever. And I'm a strong atheist. :)
Actually they’ve just released their SEVENTH Christmas album. And they’re all excellent!
This is so beautiful… AVI has a special voice… so smooth warm and fuzzy 🥰
I know I said Carol of the Bells is my favourite Pentatonix Christmas song. This song is too. 🌲 (I don’t know how that works, it just does.)
I enjoyed your reaction immensely with the exception of the cringe facial expression I made when you had an idea to add a Daft Punk remix to this song. “You are wrong, that would wreck it,” I thought. Thankfully you took it back and acknowledged that this would be a bad idea. (You are forgiven.)🤣
Kevin really does have a gorgeous voice, and the times he sings instead of beatboxing are far too rare in my humble opinion.
Voice Play can claim Halloween..but Christmas is all PTX…their new Christmas album has so many new gems…but KISS From a Rose is the Hope diamond ☺️
Great reaction. Please react to their Kiss From A Rose, o Come All Ye Faithful, and their Love Came On Christmas mashup with Joy to the World and Kumama Papa.
Voctave also does an amazing version of this and theirs features the actual writer of this song, Mark Lowry. (You’d never guess he’s a comedian with how the song sounds.) You can tell that the words of this song for him come from the deepest and most authentic part of who he is at his very core and he genuinely believes every single word. You don’t have to be a Christian to appreciate this.
This is a beautiful song…practically the definition of what a “beautiful” song should be.
You need to check out the version by Voctave ft Mark Lowry who is the one who wrote the song and is the original singer
This is my favorite rendition of this beautful song. Did you know they lyric were written by a Christian comedian named Mark Lowery. He said he was sitting at the
You felt the HOLY SPIRIT.
The First Noel will make you happy 👍
Growing up, the Kenny Rogers version was the be-all end-all of this song. THIS version was a perfect successor.
LOVED the reaction. Your channel is bonkers. ❤
You MUST react to their cover of Silent Night! Absolutely stunning! You have a big fan in snowy Alberta, Canada!!!
Great to see you reacting to PTX again (it’s why I subbed)- I absolutely loved your reaction! I totally agree with you about being dumbfounded as to why PTX isn’t as well known as artists such as Ariana Grande. I really feel sorry for all of those people who won’t ever experience the chills, goosebumps, joy, etc. from listening to them. You really need to react to Kiss From a Rose (live Vevo), Pure Imagination/Christmas Time is Here and the O Holy Night (audio). All 🤯 and gorgeous for a variety of reasons. Please please please. ❤💚
If you were blown away by this, I challenge you to react to O Come All Ye Faithful. That will completely blow your mind.
I think to become as big as some of the people you mentioned, PTX members would have to give up a certain level of creative freedom and choice. I think PTX is happy with their success. When the big boys promote you, there is a huge price to be paid.
I know it’s past Christmas but if you like this one you need to hear O Holy Night and Kiss From Rose on their most recent Christmas album. Also Pure Imagination/Christmastime is here!
I love your reaction! And your reference to being spiritual rather than religious really resonated with me. I am a Christian who does not believe in religion. I absolutely adore PTX. I also hold a place in my heart for Avi. Really looking forward to more Pentatonix videos
I've never been a huge fan of PTX, but I do really enjoy their version of this song. The harmonies are beautiful.
My oldest granddaughter, who is now 7 yrs old, would only go to sleep if I sang Hallelujah, Little Drummer Boy and Mary Did You Know. My son's ex MIL was having a hard time with her at my son's wedding ( the baby got here before the wedding ). I took her started singing this song and she instantly stopped. I was a chorus, vocal ensemble and a capella kid, I can't do it now due to vocal chords and a number of throat infections, but she still has to have her Nonnie sing these songs every time she spends the night with me.
Gorgeous song by Pentatonix! Check this one out Home Free - Mary Did You Know. Have a great day!
Thank you 😊
Don't forget Home Free does this one too.
This is the song that hooked me on pentatonix long ago (before hallelulah or the prayer). Had to listan to that cd song ten times straight. Had no idea mitch was the highest singer at the time either.
Same! This is the first song I heard of theirs that really stood out and made me ask "who are these talented people with the amazing voices and unparalleled harmonies?"
Now you simply MUST do Home Free's version!!
DJ, they're in the Bat Cave. Yes, Bat Man's cave.
Great reaction DJ! This is a definite favourite modern Christmas Carol of mine. I love the PTX version, as well as the Home Free one - however you MUST react to the version done by Voctave feat. Mark Lowry, who wrote the lyrics and sings it like no other. The musicality of all three are fantastic, I don't compare them, I just enjoy them each for what they bring to the table.
This is a lovely version of the song, wow, their vocals are so very pretty, And hearing their beatboxer (eek I can't remember his name!) sing is wonderful.
Thank you for this reaction! Amazing! *now heading over to the Patreon to watch the bonus video* #DJAntlers
Kevin Olusola! He's so damned talented!
Can´t wait for your reaction to Voctave´s version of this song featuring the writer Mark Lowry. Also a duet version of this song by Tomi P with Casper Fox!
This is a good version but the best is the one by Mark Lowry who wrote the song along with Buddy Green. There is nothing like hearing the song sung by the person who wrote it.
You can go to Kevin Olusola's solo channel and see him doing some amazing stuff. Try his cover of Down. In-studio, live, with a bunch of looping.
Thank you so much. Their version always gives me goose bumps.
I started listening to this song while my grandma was in her dying days 😕
I love this song no matter who sings it, but you should check out Mark Lowry, the gentleman that helped write this song. You want something to give you goose bumps, that video will.
My friend Mark Lowry wrote this song!
You cut m comment off/ Mr Lowry wrote this while eating breakfast. He said he just wrote things down he would like to asked Mary if he could. He also sings and there are videos of him singing this song That wAS A wonderful reaction
They just released their 8th Christmas album. A total of almost 100 songs.
Please react to O Come All Ye Faithful and 12 Days of Christmas, 2 of my favorite PTX Christmas songs.
Btw, PTX has 6 Christmas albums, plus 4 deluxe versions of previous albums/ compilation albums (which usually contain new songs), totaling more than 100 songs.
This song was written in the 80s, if I'm not terribly mistaken, so it's one of the newer Christmas songs. I'd never heard it until they released this video. I think it was hot among the gospel music community, but didn't get much play outside that.
