Hello Barry, hello friends of PTX The one who looked the most beautiful in white, for me, was Matt 😉 But obviously they're all beautiful, aren't they? ❤🤣
This arrangement includes some very rare elements that help make it exceptional. Starting with Matt taking the lead, ending with a rare (and always special) solo from Kevin, Mitch showing the depth and beauty of his lower range and most especially Kirsti given chance to show the full power and glory of her stupendous voice. This leaves me breathless and a little teary every time. Thank you so much,Barry for this and for all of the wonderful work you have done and continue to do. All the best of peace and joy of the season to you and yours!
33.- She was with her babies in a booth where we kept the field work tools, baskets, and things like that. With wooden floors, boards that sang when you walked on them (how I miss that sound!). We had made a bed for her with wool (the invaluable contribution of the sheep) wrapped in an old sheet. She knew that everyone here was safe and warm. And one morning, she left. Their children were 5 days old. My grandfather and I started to worry a few hours later, it was too long to leave the babies alone, and they would cry. My grandmother began with one of her sermons about the amount of trouble that all those animals, which were not ours, gave us, why we had to attend to everything when a living being appeared at the door (it was a manner of speaking: they came by everywhere, the door was not necessary), and went on with her angry comments for a very long time. My grandfather didn't say anything; he changed his clothes and left. Changing clothes was normal: nobody can be surrounded by so many animals and go out in the same clothes. There you had to go with your clothes on, and just when you got there put on something that could get dirty, get hairy or break. That was normal. But for my grandfather to leave when 13 kittens were alone, no; that was not.
I love your stories Ana, I would say these were simpler times, but only if you were used to very hard work. So were they really simple? I just know Grandfather had a motive for leaving. I think I would love your Grandfather.
Did you mean to say, "made a bed for "her", not him"? And, later, "He" left, should have been "She" and then later you are talking about your grandmother and said, "his" angry comments. If so, I need to go back, there is another interpretation of the story. (And, could be just changing it from one language to another) BUT... Ack! 13 five day old kittens are going to be a handful. Can't wait to see what unfolds. Love... LOVE "With wooden floors, boards that sang when you walked on them" They do that, don't they? Love these stories, Ana. ❤ Keep em coming!
@@StorytimeWithLana Brilliant! That's how I like it! be careful while reading! XD oh, God... I do nothing but screw up with the translations! Sorry Sorry sorry! I think it's already fixed!
@@anacece8852 I hated to correct you, Ana, I'm one to always look past grammar (because I can mess that up myself and I speak English. 😂), but if you had another reason for writing it that way, I needed to know. (The only reason I brought it up) Your translations are wonderful, don't worry about it. Keep them coming. ❤
Thank you for sending me this way. It is always a treat reading your writing. They are like little presents. I think I have said this before, but it is true. Claro que si. Like Lana, I loved the wooden flower description. You send me on journeys into my past. That took me to one. 🥰
The first note I thought it was Scott for a second😀. This song shows each of their talents perfectly. It’s so beautiful as are the singers and the setting. Gives me hope for the future.
And they’ve done a delightful job of using his particular sound just right in their new arrangements. Avi’s voice was like a primal force; Matt is like warm melty chocolate cream.
This song is so appropriate for the Christmas countdown. Isn't this what Christmas is truly about? God's gift of grace to us and being set free from our chains.
My dad passed Christmas Day 2017. When we placed his ashes into the ground, a piper played Amazing Grace. For some reason, it feels like the pipes were all about that one mournful anthem. I really enjoyed what PTX did. They are amazing. Between them and Home Free, I have grown to really love acapella. It tends to capture the glorious and the sad with equal facility.
Yes, so I am watching this a year-and-a-half later than everybody else but I came here to mention the fact that the drone starting the song is reminiscent of bagpipes. And I associate this song very much with first responder funerals and they are usually accompanied by bagpipes. I'm sure having that in the arrangement was not by accident.
I think this is my favorite Pentatonix song. Great to hear Matt's lovely voice start the song, and then Kevin at the end is a real treat. They all sound incredible!! I agree Barry.... amazing!! LOVE your reaction!!!💖💖💖
I was bawling my eyes out at this one. My father was in the military when I was growing up. He was often deployed either overseas or other places in the States. My mother would usually go with him, so I was practically raised by my maternal grandmother. She passed away my freshman year of college. Amazing Grace was her favorite song and was played at her funeral. It's now 38 years later, but I still can never hear this song now without thinking of her. My wife passed in 2010, my mother passed in 2013 and my father passed in August, leaving me the last surviving member of my immediate family. So the "feels" are hitting me right now. I see you're also reacting to Mr. Grinch. You mentioned how this video was the first time you heard Matt doing a lead. Just wait for the next one!
This IS my all-time favorite PTX performance. Everyone just aces their moments and the harmonies are so stunning and heartfelt that it always makes me emotional. Kirstie blows me away with her stunning vocal…she simply explodes with power and passion, making this one of my favorite solos from her. But while everyone sounds brilliant, it was Mitch’s solo in this song that made me a HUGE fan of his, for life! I LOVE his lower tone in this solo; he turns on the power and just slays with passion and full-bodied gusto. I love his use of vibrato as well - full on gospel at its finest. I get goose bumps whenever I hear and see him sing this. What an astounding Heaven-sent voice he has! I’m in awe. 😮
Kirsten was amazing in this, they built the entire crescendo around her high notes. She' so clear, pure and beautiful in her tone like she's not straining or belting,
I love this version. Sung so beautifully. Filmed at the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. I got married there in 1981 and it's a breathtakingly beautiful site.
So glad they picked Chris Tomlin’s arrangement to start with. Powerful lyrics plus beautiful harmonies in a peaceful chapel in nature = very moving video that can reach anyone where they are no matter their background or beliefs.
I've always loved this song and their cover is absolutely beautiful! 💜 They all looked so good but I think Kevin looked really nice. ☺️ And Kirsten's nails were awesome! 💅🏻
This is the first time i have heard a vocal group imitate the drone of a lone piper. As the first verse progresses the harmonies build layer upon layer until the famous wall of sound is fully resonating. Then Scott comes in amd the feel changes. That is the amazing thing about both this arrangement and these incredible musicians: the mood changes with each verse, but each is absolute perfection.
This one's a heart-lifter, isn't it? I can't wait until you get to 'Thank You.' Scott and his partner Mark originally wrote it for each other on Scott's birthday, but the message in it is so powerful they decided to share it with the world as a Pentatonix song. Be warned - you will need your tissues for that one, and lots of them!
I love when Kevin does a solo right after a big dramatic climax of the song. His clear, innocent sounding, voice brings a sweetness to the already amazing song. (No pun intended on this song. LOL) I agree...gorgeous, perfectly done!
I think the word you're looking for is.... FLABBERGASTED. They bring so much to the table it's overflowing. That's it. Listen, enjoy, cry. All at once. Thank you, Barry! YOU DA BOMB, or what ever the kids say these days... thicc?
Thank you for this reaction. It is the most beautiful version I have ever heard. I have a question. Have you been approached by a talent scout about doing voice overs for children's movies? You have that it factor. Thank you once again Barry.
That’s very kind of you to say and strangely you’re not the first person to say that since I started my RUclips channel. I’ve never done any voice acting and I’ve never been approached but it’s something I’d love to look into if I move to the USA. Thanks Kathy. B☘
Barry, my dear. Where have you been all my life??? Gonna look for more recent stuff.omg..I feel every special nuance you feel!! Wow...there might be no better group ever!!!!
This is actually a cover of Chris Tomlin's version of Amazing Grace. That's where the "My Chains are Gone" part comes from. Did you happen to catch Kirstie's homage to Dolly Parton during her lead? She got the riffs and even her accent perfect! Remember they did a collaboration with Dolly Parton on "Jolene" that won them their third Grammy award...
"My Chains are Gone" is a profound addition, once you realize "Amazing Grace" was written by a sailor who had worked many years on slave ships transporting slaves from Africa to America, before having a conversion experience & becoming an abolitionist. (see Wikipedia)
Not to make a "religious" post, but the night I accepted Christ, your expressions on this and the Hallelujah video is what I experienced in that moment. Watching these videos brings it all back. Thanks.
This performance has replaced Imagine and my very favorite PTX performance. So powerful, so perfectly arranged, and so beautifully performed. It just could not be better.
Just coming back for an update: I think I may have once commented that this was probably their best work to date, and at the time it may have been, but some time has passed now and they have not been idle. You simply must check out their rendition of The Prayer.
They all look gorgeous in white and look like angels! My favorite is Mitch. If you look closely as they are walking in, it looks like he has little wings on his jacket. I didn't notice it myself, but read it in someone else's comment. Very fitting that Angel Mitch should have wings!❤ They sing an amazing version of this song. I LOVE it!!!! Thanks for the great reaction Barry!💖
Barry and everyone else, I don't know if you knew this but they were in Pitch Perfect 3 - the Canadian team, the girl and the blonde guy are the only 2 left from when they played in that movie.
Love your reactions. Have you reacted to their UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTIFUL original song, "Thank You?" If you haven't, please do. It will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Thank you!
Barry , they come from Texas . There has always been a lot of both Scottish and Irish blood in our Soutlhland . That might account for the influence you hear in Scott's voice .
This song was written by a captain of a slave ship who had a total break down after the years of suffering the Africans and islanders. Was born again. Sat down and wrote his new found heart. You can hear his story in every word and note. I can't recall his name, but google knows.
Barry, I’m so delighted that you chose this for a review. Great choice as it’s just glorious! Keep up the great work, and hope you are feeling better these days.
"Amazing Grace" was done excellently in San Pedro, CA. The chapel was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and my brother was married there. Beautiful place to showcase this wonderful group Pentatonix
Thanks B☘️☘️, Very nice! The white outfits were a nice touch. The light reflecting off them and in so many shots the light was outlining their hair and bodies. So, as they have done in the past the visuals complimenting the music/voices. Beautiful! Their solos were great, each one of them. Kevin…. I don’t know how this works as far as the recording goes, but I loved the echo of Kevin’s clapping. It takes you to that space right where they are. That chapel is stunning as well. I love the architecture of it. The supporting beams almost seamless with the surrounding tree branches. I would love to go there and lay down on the floor, look up to the trees and sky and listen to PTX sing this. Only in my dreams, I guess. A visual and auditory treat. ❤😇
This one gives me chills! The purity and power of their voices just grabs your heart. Their harmonies are angelic. I didn't cry but I VERY close. You're right. Mitch's vocal was so full and warm. Love your reaction and review.
One I can listen to over and over.......like all of their work. I really enjoy your reactions.....the accent doesn't hurt🤣. Hope you have a blessed Christmas.
It's December 5th. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! 🎄☃❄ I have just one word for this song… BEAUTIFUL! I’ve heard this song thousands of times. This is by far the best version I’ve ever heard. And the video is gorgeous also. Love the attention to detail. They’re dressed in all white, Mitch has what looks like little angel wings on the back of his jacket, the fog rolling in, the setting in an outdoor church. Stunning video! Another great reaction Barry!🎵🎶🎶
The story behind the hymn "Amazing Grace" Written almost two and a half centuries ago in 1772, the words for the beloved song were borne from the heart, mind and experiences of the Englishman John Newton. Knowing the story of John Newton's life as a slave trader and the journey he went through before writing the hymn will help to understand the depth of his words and his gratefulness for God's truly amazing grace.
So enjoyed this reaction - I've been following Home Free for a while and only beginning to catch up with Pentatonix. This is an exceptional version of Amazing Grace (it's so good with the "My chains are gone" section - added by Chris Tomlin for a 2007 film about William Wilberforce called "Amazing Grace"). The final verse with Kirsten seems to reach up to the gates of heaven itself. Especially appreciated your style of listening through twice with this one - thank-you.
I love, love, love your reactions! So real and heartfelt. Whenever I need a pick-me-up or a laugh I watch you watch PTX and I feel better. Thank you for that. :)

Wow B☘Amazing Grace always makes me tear up.
I have always loved Avi’s voice....having said that, I am loving Matt’s addition to the group. His range, as all of them have, is incredible
Matt is just getting better and better!
@@vbella39 I am hearing that too. I see they are giving him longer leads too, like with Amazing Grace.

And they’ve done a delightful job of using his particular sound just right in their new arrangements. Avi’s voice was like a primal force; Matt is like warm melty chocolate cream.
Given the origins of Amazing Grace the fact that Matt opens and Kevin closes is particularly powerful.
This song is so appropriate for the Christmas countdown. Isn't this what Christmas is truly about? God's gift of grace to us and being set free from our chains.
I love that drone that Kirstin and Kevin did in the beginning -they really bring in the bagpipe sound that I always associate with this song.
Yes. Loved the bagpipes. I also picked up on Matt sounding like an organ once they were in the Chapel.
My dad passed Christmas Day 2017. When we placed his ashes into the ground, a piper played Amazing Grace. For some reason, it feels like the pipes were all about that one mournful anthem.
I really enjoyed what PTX did. They are amazing. Between them and Home Free, I have grown to really love acapella. It tends to capture the glorious and the sad with equal facility.

And I associate this song very much with first responder funerals and they are usually accompanied by bagpipes. I'm sure having that in the arrangement was not by accident.
Also, when Scott first starts his solo, the rhythm of the words sounds Scot.

God bless your family departed and God bless you.
@LarryWT, I'm so sorry for your losses.. I hope this song brings you peace.

I’m very late to the party, but having attended their Christmas concert in 2021 and 2022, hearing them perform this live on stage is no less powerful.
The drone to imitate bag pipes, beautiful
Kirsten was amazing in this, they built the entire crescendo around her high notes. She' so clear, pure and beautiful in her tone like she's not straining or belting,
All I can say, is PERFECTION 🙏🤷♀️🇬🇧❤️🙏
This may be one of my favourite pentatonix songs ever
Its me, Tiina, grandma from Finland where the real Santa lives. Thanks for your videos🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅
I love this version. Sung so beautifully. Filmed at the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. I got married there in 1981 and it's a breathtakingly beautiful site.

One of thee best versions of that song I've ever heard as it's my favorite hymnal of all time. Like you said Barry. Amazing!
The Perfection that is Pentatonix!
Great reaction Barry! 😉

Yay FINALLY amazing grace woohoo I have been waiting for this one.
It is you, but pentatonix made me dive for my headphones. Keeping it real.
Barry, my dear. Where have you been all my life??? Gonna look for more recent stuff.omg..I feel every special nuance you feel!! Wow...there might be no better group ever!!!!
This is actually a cover of Chris Tomlin's version of Amazing Grace. That's where the "My Chains are Gone" part comes from. Did you happen to catch Kirstie's homage to Dolly Parton during her lead?

There's also a film "Amazing Grace" about the British abolition movement, with a section on this hymn.
This group puts me into another dimension!
Really: Amazing! The Song, Pentatonix and Barry.

@Jeffrey Darwin. I’d say English isn’t her first language and she meant something completely different😃
@@fmcm7715 Sorry, it’s right. I speak only German and Russian.
@@jeffreydarwin2523 Es tut mir leid. Ich spreche englisch sehr schlecht. Ich finde den Song wunderbar, die Gruppe und auch Barry ist richtig klasse.
El vocalista es impresionante y la muchacha rubia vaya voz , impresionante.Mil besitos para ti desde España 💋💋💋💋
Even being utterly serious you make me laugh. What a rare and awesome quality.
I hope you do their song “Thank You” from their new Christmas Album. It’s amazing.
He hasn't done that one?? He has to do that one.
He did 5 PTX reactions in one day! He needs a rest😀
I agree
Not to make a "religious" post, but the night I accepted Christ, your expressions on this and the Hallelujah video is what I experienced in that moment. Watching these videos brings it all back. Thanks.
This is probably their best to date. Incredible vocals and harmonies. PTX has really picked a good bass singer in Matt
Now I’m teary eyed…..
This performance has replaced Imagine and my very favorite PTX performance. So powerful, so perfectly arranged, and so beautifully performed. It just could not be better.
Hi Barry- I never get tired of this one! Although I love each person’s contribution, I am just 😵 by Mitch in this one with his lower register.
Just coming back for an update: I think I may have once commented that this was probably their best work to date, and at the time it may have been, but some time has passed now and they have not been idle. You simply must check out their rendition of The Prayer.

I have no words...ty, my Barry.
Mitch has angel wings on the back of his jacket. That fits though.☺️
one word...beautiful
“Hi” 🙋🏻♂️
(have watched your PTX videos many times for their entertaining and highly qualitacious content)
Kirsty looks the best! It’s hard to rock a white/cream/ivory power suit like that! She owns the look!
Peace Barry dear 💖💖
Lovley yesss!!! Ty ty
Hi everyone, It's beautiful! marvellous ! wonderful version!
Merry Christmas to all PTX fans😉😍
Barry I positively love your animated reviews, especially of Pentatonix! Don't ever change 😍
Still my favorite. Get chills every time. Beautiful!
Thank you, B.
Day 5. Merry Christmas. (20 days before Christmas)
Here I am again! XD
Barry and everyone else, I don't know if you knew this but they were in Pitch Perfect 3 - the Canadian team, the girl and the blonde guy are the only 2 left from when they played in that movie.
Chills throughout this entire video!
I think it's the drone note (like a bagpipe) then building the chord upon it that gives it the Celtic feeling from the start.
Love your reactions. Have you reacted to their UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTIFUL original song, "Thank You?" If you haven't, please do. It will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye. Thank you!
Barry , they come from Texas . There has always been a lot of both Scottish and Irish blood in our Soutlhland . That might account for the influence you hear in Scott's voice .
Who said there was not such thing as angels? Maybe it was me? If there are angels then we are hearing them now.
This song was written by a captain of a slave ship who had a total break down after the years of suffering the Africans and islanders. Was born again. Sat down and wrote his new found heart. You can hear his story in every word and note. I can't recall his name, but google knows.
I didn’t know how to say-it, or if was even my place to do so,thank you for saying what this song is truly about
Primera vez q los escucho,magníficos! Gracias dear Barry
I will add to your numbers ... its amazing indeed ..
They are amazing.
Barry, I’m so delighted that you chose this for a review. Great choice as it’s just glorious! Keep up the great work, and hope you are feeling better these days.
Hello from sunny Texas. New to your channel and I have enjoyed your reactions....especially when you can’t help yourself and sing along.
(During Kevin's part, at the end)
Barry: "LISTEN!"
Me: Um... I'm already doing that?
LOL >.
Please review the “12 Days of Christmas “you will not be disappointed, thanks
"Amazing Grace" was done excellently in
San Pedro, CA. The chapel was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and my brother was married there. Beautiful place to showcase this wonderful group Pentatonix
The architect was Lloyd Wright, Frank's son.
Thanks B☘️☘️,
Very nice! The white outfits were a nice touch. The light reflecting off them and in so many shots the light was outlining their hair and bodies. So, as they have done in the past the visuals complimenting the music/voices. Beautiful!
Their solos were great, each one of them. Kevin…. I don’t know how this works as far as the recording goes, but I loved the echo of Kevin’s clapping. It takes you to that space right where they are.
That chapel is stunning as well. I love the architecture of it. The supporting beams almost seamless with the surrounding tree branches. I would love to go there and lay down on the floor, look up to the trees and sky and listen to PTX sing this. Only in my dreams, I guess.
A visual and auditory treat. ❤😇
I love how they all have a "Frontman" part. Most beautiful version I've ever heard... Nollaig Shona Dhuit Barry
That is what I absolutely love about PTX, the emotion they bring to their vocals. Amazing.
Wow that was so beautiful 😍♥️.I'm crying 😭😭
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This one gives me chills! The purity and power of their voices just grabs your heart. Their harmonies are angelic. I didn't cry but I VERY close. You're right. Mitch's vocal was so full and warm. Love your reaction and review.
One I can listen to over and over.......like all of their work.
I really enjoy your reactions.....the accent doesn't hurt🤣.
Hope you have a blessed Christmas.
It's December 5th. Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! 🎄☃❄
I have just one word for this song… BEAUTIFUL! I’ve heard this song thousands of times. This is by far the best version I’ve ever heard. And the video is gorgeous also. Love the attention to detail. They’re dressed in all white, Mitch has what looks like little angel wings on the back of his jacket, the fog rolling in, the setting in an outdoor church. Stunning video!
Another great reaction Barry!🎵🎶🎶
❤lovely
The story behind the hymn "Amazing Grace"
Written almost two and a half centuries ago in 1772, the words for the beloved song were borne from the heart, mind and experiences of the Englishman John Newton. Knowing the story of John Newton's life as a slave trader and the journey he went through before writing the hymn will help to understand the depth of his words and his gratefulness for God's truly amazing grace.
The tone at the very start reminds me of the drone of bagpipes and this is a traditional bagpiper’s song.
could be their best work!!
So very powerful! 😍
I love you Barry!!!
This is amazing. You should also do Peter Hollens and Home Free’s version of Amazing Grace. Both versions, PTX and Hollens/Home Free give me chills.
Wow, I've never heard that one it was......Worth the wait. 💖
Sounds so lovely with the Southern- USA Religious hand raises. It makes me so happy. Glad you loved it. My favorite song by my favorite band!
Zó MÓÓI 🤩 en PERÉCT👍🏽
preciés ZOALS JÍj́ ZEGT BARRY❣️
So enjoyed this reaction - I've been following Home Free for a while and only beginning to catch up with Pentatonix. This is an exceptional version of Amazing Grace (it's so good with the "My chains are gone" section - added by Chris Tomlin for a 2007 film about William Wilberforce called "Amazing Grace"). The final verse with Kirsten seems to reach up to the gates of heaven itself. Especially appreciated your style of listening through twice with this one - thank-you.
I love, love, love your reactions! So real and heartfelt. Whenever I need a pick-me-up or a laugh I watch you watch PTX and I feel better. Thank you for that. :)
Your kind comment just gave me the pick-me-up I needed, so I guess we’re even. Thanks a million CB.
Hello everyone, this is the second of my FIVE Pentatonix Christmas reactions today. I hope you’ll join me on all of them and maybe even go back and enjoy all of my other Pentatonix reactions.
I’m considering doing a Q&A so please leave me any questions you’d like me to answer down below 👍
what type of voice and type of music is your favourite?
how are your teeth so white?
Do you have videos of you singing?
Hi again Barry, I'd love to see more of your singing... is there anywhere that you've posted yourself singing? You seem to have such a lovely voice. Also, will we ever get your fun, thoughtful comments back again?
Warmest wishes,
Easter
