Mitch brought this 79 year-old composer-jazz pianist to tears on this! What always knocks me out is to witness all five gather together, ‘cause you know the “Wall Of Sound” is coming and you know it’s gonna be epic! They deserve their fourth Grammy for this! Oh, and singing that minor 7th chord before that slide-up chordal ending was epic for me!
I know nothing about music theory etc so who was singing that very high note at the end? I was thinking Kevin but my ears aren't that perceptive.
@@marshagrant7525 I think it's Scott.
@@marshagrant7525 I'm guessing it was Kevin and Kirstie together.
@@marshagrant7525 It was Mitch. Scott sang just under him.
@@marshagrant7525 it was Mitch …. He is a awesome Countertenor
This is really the song that shows how much each of them has evolved since the band first formed. Like I just don't think they could've pulled this off 10 years ago. They're so talented.
Oòoòòoòòoò
I'm .... I'm not sure there's an actual bottom to their talent, both individually and as a group. They just continue to stun me.
You might be right. I understand that it was five years before they thought they were capable of pulling off "Bohemian Rhapsody." I'm just glad they finally did it before Avi left the group.
The Prayer is their crown jewel. Their shining moment. Absolutely magical and gorgeous.
Mitch & Scott...........Good Lord, Mitch is a freak & Scott has that rich tone. Everytime I think I've heard their best, they be like, " were just getting warmed up !!! " Thanks for your react Tara, Happy Monday ❤😎👌
There's something about hearing Scott kick into the bottom pipes while in lead. He spends so much time with high bari leads, and when he usually gets the mid-staff stuff, it's background, so we completely forget how rich his voice is there.
I never thought anyone after Celine and Andrea could do this song justice but dang, I love this version!!
PTX's version is really good! They nailed it!
Same Here! 💞
Is it wrong that I love it more?
Please try the version that Peter Hollens did with his wife Evynne. It will raise goosebumps.
Totally agree!! LOVE this version of The Prayer.
Perfection. The control Mitch has is amazing. And he does seem to do it effortlessly. Scott’s opera-like segment was beautiful
Mitch makes it effortless... All of them are really good.... they don't overshadow one another... its a pleasure to listen to them....
🎉 love this
Can we once again just take a minute to appreciate Tara’s voice! Gurl… wow!
100%
No
Ikr? Wow.
Yes.
I just love how, in recent years, PTX uses the lower part of Scott's baritone range more. He always sounds great, but I think the lower end of his range is just rich creamery butter.
Mitch has been my favorite from the first time I saw him.
You are right when you said that he makes it look so easy hitting those high notes.
God blessed that young man.
LOVE PTX.
🥰🎙🎼
Mitch's voice has such a bell tone quality.. Just flawless.
As a loyal PTX follower from the start, I have to say I don't think Scott has ever sounded more purely beautiful than he does here. (Which is so heartening as assurance that after a decade, they're still growing.)
"Hallelujah", "Amazing Grace", and now "The Prayer". They are simply in a league of their own. Now my favorite performance of each of these iconic songs. Absolutely MAGNIFICENT!!!
Everything about this cover, this rendition, sings Grammy!
Just want to take a moment to appreciate the real MVP of this performance, Kevin. Those drums really made the glorious "hero"-effect that made all the difference, albeit it's easily overlooked when the rest of the group performs at that level.
Every EVERY time I listen to a PTX song I start to notice something new that a different group member does.
You're totally right. Kevin. Absolutely incredible.
I love how the last notes seem to float up to heaven, like a prayer.
My heart just bursts every single time I hear this. I have loved Celine since the early 90s, but Mitch just made that so angelic, I don't think I can ever go back to the original! They all sounded fabulous. Thank you for your reaction!
Tara, will you please react to Mitch Grassi's cover of Your Power ! It is really good! I think it's better than the original! It's just my opinion though!
@@BH-iq3ic his version is simply gorgeous
Matt's bass notes are killer! Kevin at his absolute best!!!
I've said this in other reactions, I don't think I have heard Mitch and Scott sound better than they do here. Stunning performance from all of them, but Mitch and Scott just take it up another level. Beautiful arrangement, too. In fact, the production, video, mixing and vocals are sublime. Just what we expect from Pentatonix.
I am FLOORED with Scott's Italian vocals. He sounds so much like Botticelli that if you were only listening you would think they were featuring him (Botticelli). This ,to me , is such a powerful and emotional song already, but even more so with Pentatonix's artistry on it. I cry every time I hear it and so far I have played it every day since it came out. I really love the harmonies and the enunciation that PTX uses. This is such a special song and so appropriate for this Holiday Season. Thank you Tara and PTX !!!!!
Just want to say the name is Andrea Bocelli.
Bocelli.
Botticelli is a painter who died in the early 1500's. Andrea Bocelli is the singer who is, as far as I know, still alive. Both are Italian, though.
Bocelli is, without doubt, a better classical singer than Scott, but I actually think Scott performed it better, at least in the version I heard of Bocelli (sacrilege, I know!).
I think Scott makes the transition more easily to a classical style than Andrea does to pop/main stream. Plus, Bocelli was a little older when he sang this, and it sound was just a tad thin. Scott really filled out his tone for the Italian verse, and it was gorgeous. He truly nailed it.
I listen to Pentatonix's version of The Prayer and Hallelujah at least once a day ... I am not very religious person but to me it is a very religious experience listening to them perform these two songs
Oh my God! Scott, good Lord his voice lifts my spirit out of my body!! And Mitch, I just close my eyes and cry. They are all God's angels.
It’s funny that 3 of their non-Christmas songs they’ve included on Christmas albums are their best. Hallelujah, Amazing Grace & now The Prayer. All 3 are perfect, yes imo but I know I’m not alone.✌️💚🙏
I guess that's kinda true. You could also include the Mr Grinch one as well. Though Mary did you know is one of my favs and that's a Christian one
I do love 'Thank You'
@@bradclifton5248 YES
Amen to THAT!
@@BabyDweet51 Dish said "non-Christmas", not "non-Christian".
I love the fact that Mitch & Scott have been singing together for longer than anyone else. Their voices are perfect for each other. I would say they could stand onstage just the 2 of them and match Celine & Botecelli. So the percussion, bass and harmonies are just the perfection of a beautiful duet. Something C&B can never beat.
IMO, there's a song where each member stands out more than the others. In this one, as beautiful as it is, and as much as the entire group did an AMAZING job (can't discount how brilliant they all are!), Scott was at the best I've ever heard from him. His tone was so rich and full. Loved hearing him at the lower end of his range, with such clear tonality. There's so much about this performance that stands out, even small things like Mitch and Kirstie matching pitch on one of the higher notes towards the end, it's hard to talk about all of the wonderful things they did here. But had to mention Scott in particular. What a magnificent piece by them!
to say it's stunning is an understatement. it blows my mind how incredible they are and yeah Mitch makes it look so easy.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been checking every day since this came out to see if you had reacted to it! I absolutely love your reactions! Your excitement and praise for their enhancement so very well done, as Pentatonix does!
Your explanations for what PTX does, and tips to all the singers out there as to how it's done is always so amazing. You are a true teacher.
Thanks again for this wonderful reaction. As always a winner! ♥️
This song was so perfect for Mitch. And WOW!!!! What a voice Mitch has … he just shined on this song. I am such a huge fan of this very talented group and this Christmas cd is a must have. Just got it today. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
The past tense of shine is shone, not "shined" . To say "shined" is like saying he "drinked" . Shone. He shone. I apologize for the correction but I am so tired of seeing this.
@@gramethyst2920 well then move on … and stop reading the comments if it bothers you that much. 🙄🙄🙄🙄. He SHINED on this song!!!!
Tara giving off "Phantom Of The Opera" vibes at the end. "Sing! Sing my angels! Sing!" Such a gorgeous song.
Omg, my favorite version. Mitch, this was your song to sing, Scott was exceptional as well, they all were fantastic, brought tears to my eyes. Grammy worthy!!!
Those last 3 notes Mitch does just going higher and higher always gets me emotional, and it does an insanely consistently job at doing so
I think that’s Scott…at least partly. He does the final high notes in the live performances.
I need a new vocabulary for Pentatonix. 😏 Fantastic, beautiful, emotional, ethereal-just inadequate to describe this. Great reaction. Thank you.
Stunning, beautiful, haunting, dreamy, ethereal.......not enough adjectives for this!
The harmonies are so close that you'd think they were related, absolutely gorgeous ❤
I love this version of The Prayer! This group is simply AMAZING with their vocals. Let’s not sleep on Kevin & Matt. The percussion that Kevin performed was flawless and hearing the warm deep tones of Matt peaking from the harmony of Scott, Mitch, & Kirstin is divine. This song is perfect. Love Pentatonix!!
There are no words.....just tears at the beauty of their voices...oh and goosebumps ♥
Mitch NEVER ceases to amaze me!! Kristy and him harmonizing was hard to distinguish who was who lol
ruclips.net/video/7VVTpnW5MqE/видео.html
This is now my favorite PTX.
I am a Celine Dion fan and I know she would be proud of this song.
Mitch of course was perfect. 😍
🥰🎙🎼
I wonder if she's seen it. Does anyone know? Sometimes the original artists give them a social media shoutout or something, or contact them privately.
While the original is still the very Best to me, I had to say that their cover, the Pentatonix cover, is the first one that lives up to being almost as good if not as good as the original. It is amazingly beautiful. I don’t cringe listening to it. I’m very proud of them for this version.
I suspect nobody remembers the fact that the original song was actually written for a forgotten animated movie called "Quest for Camelot", where it was sung solo by Celine Dion, with slightly different words than these. It was better than the movie deserved, but the difference between that version and this one is like a box-mix versus a $1,000 designer wedding cake!
Plus it's acapella!
Soo happy your reacting to this Tara!!! I love this song and Pentatonix doing it is UNREAL 🙌🏼
Mitch's voice is absolutely gorgeous
I cry like a baby every time I watch this! There are no other groups out there that can even come close to the beauty that the their voices create. 😭
I've been waiting for this! As soon as I finished my first listen, I was like "I want to hear what Tara has to say about this!" Mitch seems to have made another leap forward in his vocal technique. He almost never did much in the way of runs or other ornamentation in their earlier songs - the one at the end of his solo in Amazing Grace seemed monumental. And here he's dropping then all over the place, beautifully. And Scott down in a proper baritone register for once - he is usually the T in their SATB (unless Kevin steps back from the virtual drum set in his throat to be the tenor). Great reaction.
You should deffo react to their version of Amazing Grace from last year. it has that similar soul cleansing vibe to it.
Yes pleeeeease
Yes please!!! I’ve been waiting for that one from Tara since it came out.
YASS!!! I’ve been waiting for Tara to react to that since it came out! I randomly commenting on her videos hoping she finally will 😂
Yess.. You think if there are enough yeses in this thread she'll see it?
Yes You would love that arrangement if you loved this one, Comon Tara - its Christmas you know
Scott's voice is just made for Italian. There is just something about the language that does something to his voice. It brings out a fullness in his lower register.
They are all so talented! Just magical.
Saw them perform this live in Pittsburgh last Sunday! Magnificent!
This is an amazing cover! I would’ve loved to hear a little more of Matt, as he has such a rich, beautiful voice that lends itself to this type of song, but Scott did amazing. I also must mention how amazing Kevin did with vocal percussion! He was stellar with all of the different tempos, etc. Thanks for this!
My question is… is it really that easy for Mitch? Dude makes it look and sound effortless every time I hear him sing. They’re all amazing but he makes me just 😮.
It's not easy at all for him. He has a really hard time coming down for notes this low.
Let make one million subcribers for tara before 2022 because we all love her so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤
4:29 Absolutely teared up at this. I've been listening to this for a week now and I tear up everytime...it touches the soul in such a way..that harmony..
Eargasms galore. Glad to see you doing another PTX reaction.
The fact that you hardly do any PTX reactions is the reason I haven't subscribed. You used to do a lot, but then went months before any.
Been following them since their beginning. I’ve never heard tighter harmonies. Gives me chill bump’s every time I hear it.
I am so glad you are reacting to this. I was hoping you would. I think this is the most beautiful I have ever heard Scott's voice. The depth, richness and power was just fantastic. I about melted the first (and second and third and.....) time I heard him sing.
Thank you so much for the fantastic reaction 💕 This is now my favorite PTX song ever. It is so beautifully harmonious it gives me chills. Mitch has always been my favorite because of his unique voice and he nailed it with his solos with Scott and Kirstin. Absolutely gorgeous vocals by all.
Ha ha was searching for your reaction to this, and I knew 'exactly' where you were going to pause and chat about the wizardry that comes from Mitch, Scott and Kirsten. Actually made me smile, and loved your reaction to it. I've watched this and many other clips about 50 times in total (and probably many more to come) :)
Update, watched and shared this again! :) Mainly because of Tara (Sssshhhh) but also because I needed my Penta-fix :)
💕 💕 💕 *****PENTATONIX, IS LIKE A MIRACLE, FOR OUR EARS***** 💕 💕 💕 Loved your reaction 💕 💕 💕
This is such a great reaction! PTX is such a beautiful and talented group! Their harmonies are so good! Thank you for doing this! Plus, squnching the nose helps, and I was able to do it! It worked for me. Making the sound to go forward. Thank you, again. Looking beautiful today! God bless you.
I loved when Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli and later Celine and Josh Groban sang the prayer. I didn't think anyone could match it or do better but listening to this from Pentatonix is absolutely beautiful. Their voices blend so beautifully and it sounds so beautiful. The background doesn't hurt that it is beautiful. It is just plain a wonderful video that makes a person sit back and just enjoy the amazing harmony and talent. Thank you Pentatonix.
YAY I’ve been WAITING for your reaction to this one!!!! You never disappoint! Scott in this song OMG! 😍😭 and Mitch and Scott together!!!!! Perfection! They all did amazing, one of their best ever! I absolutely love the sound when Scott and Mitch are singing at 2 different times and then they suddenly meet in the middle, the sound it makes oh my god! Loved your reaction as always! 💙💙💙💙
Mitch isn’t human. That voice.....😍
They did a Disney-like ending.. common in many Disney songs. Really beautifully sung.
The utter beauty of this never fails to choke me up. So good!!
🧡 Pentatonix !
STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL
How could it not be? It's the great PTX.
Normally one would expect a full orchestra for "The Prayer." Absolutely not necessary here.
Thank you, Tara, for reacting to this incredible cover group.
For the love of music - Peace.
This is my favourite cover so far! I didn’t think they’d beat bohemian rhapsody, but well, this is a masterpiece! 🏴❤️
Kirsten really anchors PTX's supporting harmonies. Scott is amazing too, he has such a rich soulful voice and can take over bass when Matt is singing.
Is it just me, or I've watched hundreds of tara's videos and for every reaction she does, especially for pentatonix, i always get amazed at how she picks details of the music. Like i wont be able to hear 80% of the instrumentals in details if i don't use an earpiece or head phone. She is really trained i wish to be like her🙌🏻❤
I'm so glad you showcased this performance. I've watched PTX grow over the years and they are definitely in the zone now! Nothin'' But Net ❤️🎼
came for pentatonix reaction, stayed for tara serving small vocal treats left and right as if its nothing.
I watch this 90,000 times a holiday season!!!
It was so wonderful to see your joy as you listened! And of course your appreciation and explanation of the nuances of their singing. I think you are the first one I have heard reacting to this performance who truly understood the song and the quality of the original singers, who are great in their own right. PTX has done a wonderful cover, and thank you for your enthusiastic, positive and knowledgeable reaction.
Great reaction Tara! Absolutely stunning work from every single member! Grammy #4 is what we just heard! Andre & Celine will be proud! I also enjoy Celine’s duet withJosh Groban! THIS is now my favorite. Mitch soaring effortlessly with chromatic runs & Scott’s rich baritone Italian!
Yes! When I watched this on my own, I was like "I wonder if Tara Simon will react to this. I sure hope so." Wish fulfilled!
MORE PTX🙏 PENTATONIX ARE LITTERALLY ANGELS!!!!
MORE PTX🙏
Mitch is amazing. We all know that. Can we talk about Scott for a second though?! Like...of course he's amazing always, but this is the least "pop-y" I've ever heard him sound and MY GOD. I was not expecting that from him.
I'm late to this, but I want you to know I really really appreciate your commentary it's a level above a lot of people people's. You show your enthusiastic all over your face. You don't interrupt too much but you give us information as a professional. And then because you have a great voice and training you can show us with your own voice. I learned things A lot when you demonstrate what you mean and I haven't seen reactions that can do this. Especially to Pentatonix songs which is what I've been listening to lately. this year. Thanks very much.
Perfect Italian pronunciation, if I can add anything on this…
I assume Scott / all of them took italian lessons for this.
Absolutely impressive to master the pronounciation perfectly.
Tara I love how you do your reactions to the songs you are truly so beautiful inside and out!!!! You are definitely my favorite one to watch with reactions, your like an angel!!! God bless you!!!
I love you !!!!
Thank u so much. I appreciate your kind and generous words ❤️
It's SO hilarious that all of us Pentaholics now respond when they say "Hey!" at the end of their videos, we all get that moment to connect with them.
I can't stop listening to this song, and hearing the chords in my head as I go about my day, hanging there in my head, then I have to listen again to hear all the notes at once, there is something about this song that has captured me. I don't know enough about music to know what it is, but I am hooked on the chords and chord progressions and the way Pentatonix sound together (for the millionth time it seems...)
You had me so excited with this reaction! Yes Ma'am, we were "Mitch Slapped"! I love his voice!!!
Love seeing Tara in her happy place. PTX is good at taking you there.
I think this was my favorite performance from each of the trio to date. Thank you for geeking out over each of them!
Also, it's totally the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe visuals! Didn't make that connection before
Also also, was that "Sing my angels" at the end a Phantom reference? 🤣 If so I approve
Sorry, they are a quintet, not a trio? Not sure what you are referring to with "trio".
You made me cry Tara with your beautiful reaction of Pentatonix rendition of The Prayer. I’ve watched the video by them countless times since the release, got all the feels and chills, but it wasn’t until I watched your reaction that I shed some tears. You’re a gifted artist yourself. Your are correct, they are so good and very blessed with their talent. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
Hi me two years in the future haha, but I was just watching the arrangement video for these and Kirstin just slayed this whole album! This song especially
AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE - OUT OF THIS WORLD - VOCALS
FINALLY!!!!!! These were my exact reactions to this song and I’m glad you did a video reacting to it. Thank you so much for the tips as always! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your tips, is why I watch your channel. They're so good and helpful! Thank you for them!
Tara I’ve watched you since you did Voctave’s Disney Princess Medley. What I love about your approach is how you highlight artists’ mastery of technique and celebrate that. Then you explain the nuance in a way that is accessible for anyone of any skill level. Watching you is a master class on the importance of acquiring tools for your musical/vocal toolbox and how, when and WHY to use them to make thoughtful, expressive stylistic choices that maintain the integrity of the score at the same time showcasing the performer. I love that you taught me a new appreciation for how to listen and appreciate vocal music performance. Thank you for positive energy and I always look forward to your reactions!
I never thought they could top the emotion, dynamics, and beauty of Amazing Grace...then they came out with The Prayer. 😍❤
Magnifico !!! Brings tears ...:D
Thanks Tara, for your very descriptive analysis of their singing. It really helps me enjoy their singing even more!
Love your reactions. This is their best work yet. Mitch Angel from heaven Grassi….sooo beautiful, Scott at his very best. Kirstie fantastic…God how much has she grown in 10 years!!!! Kevin just amazing, vocal percussion to a classical piece & he gets it spot on and finally Matt…poor Matt who is continually compared to Avi 🤔 🙄 did an outstanding job of providing a rich fullness to this piece.
Fab-u-lous!!!!!
Honestly so excited for the next 10 years from these still very young artists.
Thanks Tara x
I was hoping you’d react to this one!!! This arrangement is a masterpiece, and the vocals sublime. 🥰
I've been waiting on this from you. Great reaction. No full orchestra like other versions. Just their wonderful talented voices performing a wonderful arrangement. Thanks!
Time for another Grammy with this one methinks.
Un gioiello di canzone! L'Italiano del ragazzo è buono. Loro insieme sono fantastici. BRAVI! ❤️
Citizen Queen just dropped a great version of "Killing Me Softly". Its a fresh interpretation.
I am a music minister in a church, and I have been struggling with some higher notes on a particular song. Your little tidbit about “scrunching” on higher notes has made a world of difference for me! Thank you for teaching throughout your reaction videos and not just “reacting.” Myself and I’m sure many others appreciate it!
I love hearing that. That’s exactly what I hope to do in these videos. So glad the tip helped you!
I'm so glad! Try out a discounted first lesson with one of my vocal coaches for just $25 and see how much you can improve!

O! MY! GOSH! My favorite reaction to this song yet!! No one can top it. Your love for music comes through with your body language!! I watched this 3 times!!❤❤⭐⭐
Absolutely Stunning, just a True Masterpiece!!!
As a huge fan of Celine Dion, i was nervous to listen to Pentatonix version, even knowing that they are the best at what they do. Lets just say the goosebumps were just as big as when i saw Celine live. I need to see PTX live, soon!
This is why you're my favourite reactor for pentatonix. Besides shedding light to the technical aspects of their arrangements and their insane talents, I love how enthusiastic you are. The passion is shining and we're all there with you.
Thank u love. That means a lot ❤️
