They got their 2nd Grammy for this song! First was their Daft Punk Medly. Then this one. Their third one was for their cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton. She sang with them so she also won a Grammy. I’m not a fan of country music but I’ve put that on repeat a few times. Lol.
Avi’s bass line throughout this song is amazing. I love it so much. Not gonna skip Mitch’s amazing high notes, cause those are badass too. Not one word in this song, yet utterly engaging and awesome. :) You should check out PTX’s covers of “can’t hold us” and “gold”. Vastly different but both super awesome.
Winning a f*** Grammy without singing a single word... After that song every time they released a new song I always thought 'okay what crazy sh*** have you done now to that song?' or 'An Original??? Whose crazy mastermind wrote that song?' and they never stop to amaze me and blow my mind. Would you please please react to Sup3rfruit's (Mitch and Scott's side project) EMPIRE MEDLEY and PTX's originals NATURAL DISASTER and LOVE AGAIN
2011! Everyone..., else; "You can't sing a song without words"!!! PTX; "Here, hold my coffee"!!! We call it her "Side Smile", we can hear it when she does it. Peace, Love and Light Jase!!!
If you enjoyed this song without words, you really need to check out their performance of the Star Wars theme at the AMAs. They begin a capella and then are going by the orchestra. The segment is introduced by Harrison Ford. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/Ogh0xKwbWj8/видео.html
This piece really shows Avi's operatic training. Besides the obvious parts, listen for how he hits it in that last chord before the end bit. Wow! Gets me every time.
I am a Neo-Classical Composer and Arranger. I am imagining Ben Bram sitting down to write this arrangement while looking at the orchestral score, and thinking, "I have four voices and a beat-boxer\singer. How am I going to translate this classical piece to something better than what the Swingle Singers might have done?" Well, I don't HOW he did it, but the result was definitely worth a Grammy!
Avi's singing is like pure honey for the ears. Not much singing can bring a tear to my eye, but he sometimes does it. And yes, Kirstin's smirk is always fun to see.
How much do I love your reactions....lol You make me enjoy the performance that much more...if that's possible...haaha...Expecially your comments of Avi.....love him to bits.....Keep them coming Jase
When Kirstie smirks when she sings she is doing a side mouth. She said that it’s a bad habit that she wants to get rid of. She used to think that it helped her hit the note, but she realized it didn’t.
xPHILLYSLUGGERx when she was a baby she had a cleft palate. She had surgery but that is what caused her side smile. She had surgery again a couple years ago and that’s why she doesn’t have it as much any more
When this video first came out I remember thinking they look like mafia body guards guarding Kirstie that could fit in a John Wick movie. This also won them their 2nd Grammy. By the way Jase who is that cutie sneaking out of your bed @2:16 just to chill in the corner?
Wow!! Amazing!! Thankyou , I enjoyed this so much. I could tell when Avi took the line. I never heard of him until he did ring of fire with home free. It amazes me how they did this video !!!!
You must, I repeat, you MUST react to PTX singing Aha! live in Singapore, The Star Vista. If you think this is mind-blowing, that one is going to make you faint. Trust.
YES! This is one of my all time favorites of theirs!! Thank you!! I love Avi's part right before he does the really low note, it sounds so choral - like he's singing in an ancient cathedral or something - ugh just so gorgeous. Can't wait for you to do more of their Christmas stuff at some point. Thank you again!!
Kirstie's little smirk is pretty cute. There is actually a vocal coach that wondered if it was something theatrical, or if she really needs to make a little smirk to get certain notes out. Pentatonix Christmas music(especially if it's an original or a piece that they could really take their own) is well worth listening to at any time of the year, even if people are shooting daggers into your back cuz they can hear ya listening to it
Thanks for another great reaction! You should do one of their "Evolution of" videos (like "Evolution of Michael Jackson"). They have several. Also, their covers of 'Ride' by Twenty One Pilots and 'Gold' by Kiiara are something a little different than what you have been doing up to now. Keep it up!
Kirstie's "side mouth" was something we all loved about her too! 😊 We thought it was cute, like she was! Then we found out it was caused from nerve damage caused during surgery to correct a cleft palate and not only was she self conscious about it, but she'd developed bad technique attempting to compensate for her mouth being pulled to the side. That bad technique was hard on her voice and she was always on vocal rest. She worked on correcting the bad habits she'd formed during the time she did 2 runs in "Kinky Boots" on Broadway and her vocals, which I already loved, became mind blowing! So... that's the story of that deceptively "cute" side mouth smirk Kirstie deals with. I feel bad for thinking it was adorable.. but I didn't know all the details. Doubt I do now! They have said this was the hardest arrangement they've ever done (with "Making Christmas" from a Nightmare Before Christmas coming in hot on its heels at #2). You should check out "Making Christmas"! It's more "Halloween" than "Christmas" in theme and it's a blast!
It’s always Christmas time for A Cappella (especially PTX, Home Free, and Voice Play)! I was watching you and a little of PTX and your head was going all over the place. You were thoroughly enjoying the video, as was I. I just enjoy your look of astonishment (how can one not be while watching this video, right?). That was definitely a great request!
If you haven't already, you might want to check out their cover of "No" by Meghan Trainer. I love Meghan but you really can't beat their cover. Mitch's attitude definitely adds to the song. And I love watching Avi's use of mic proximity when he does the bass slides. So good.
Jase at 2:28: 😱😱🤯🤯 Me: Yeah, he's not ready for Aha!... 🤣🤣🤣 Jase at 3:49: 😵😵😵 Me: Mm, yep no Aha! just yet 😁😁 Thank you Sheri for requesting this one! Of course PTX would cover a song that has no words, sound amazing, AND win a Grammy for it. They're super human, I tell you. What other music will be coming up in the queue??? Loving these reactions, Jase! 🤘
@@jasonpankey69 Precisely! Mitch shines the brightest in that one but the way they all are in sync so well live is mind blowing. I can't wait until I get the chance to see them live.
I think some of their best stuff is Christmas themed. You should really check out "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" (very recent, Matt is the lead and Scott covers the bass which is awesome), God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman or Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
Natural disaster is a good one if you wanna hear some powerful bass. Aha! Live in Singapore is a great one. Hit the road jack but Live. Make sure it’s live if you want a special surprise
Hey Jase! I'm a huge fan of Pentatonix and have enjoyed your reactions to their music immensely! Not sure if you have viewed this one but "Cheerleader" is another great cover. I've started checking out reactions to your other videos. Keep the reviews coming!
hi, love your reaction to Avi & Mitch, made me laugh. My suggestions would be to take a look at Superfruit, which is Scot & Mitch together, especially their take on Rise, its awesome. Also you need to check out todrick hall/ptx the wizard of AHHS and if you want a laugh check out Todrick doing Pentatodrix, just amazing.
I don t care if its april or july ptx Christmas Songs I can hear the whole year especially Mary did you know, that s Christmas to me and coldest winter
Kirstie's lopsided smile is because as a child she had some kind of accident that resulted in some nerve damage to her mouth. Still sings great. She has had some kind of work done more recently to reduce that effect. Back then, though, it was involuntary.
LOVEEEE THIS! Pentatonix is just the best thing in the world. and this one is one of my favourite for sure! i recommend Jolene, Love again adn their Imagine cover :)
I love your reactions ! Couldn't wait to see your face at the high notes of Mitch and the low notes of Avi and you didn't disappoint me :) , it makes reactions worth watching ! I don't mind listening to Christmas music from PTX throughout the year :) ! Last summer I was listening to "Where are you Christmas "and "Coldest Winter " a lot , very refreshing when it's 40 C ( 104 F) LOL.
Yes, Kirstie's side smile! :D She actually stopped doing it while singing now for the most part. It's not a healthy thing to do for your vocals and I think she was self-conscious about it too. She did bring it back a little in Can You Feel the Love Tonight for example, but it seemed very intentional on her part and more just like a nod to fans, so I think she found a way to compromise :).
I have so many Christmas song requests for you from PTX. Can’t wait for the season. Jase, you are the only reaction to... guy I subscribe to. Love watching your reactions! Keep it up
Well, if you look at their catalogue of music, about half of it is from their many Christmas/holiday albums. So you'd be missing out on a lot of their music if you only listened to their holiday music during December or whatever.
Your reactions to Pentatonix have become my favorite thing! Kudos to your supporter suggesting this song, it is one of the best, and I had planned on requesting it myself, but she beat me to it. :) Maybe keep the Christmas thing going and react to Making Christmas by Pentatonix. A fun one! Keep them coming! Much love!
We seriously need to get him listening to superfruit
ShadowWolf yes please!
Feeling Myself (?)
@@stohelit57 I 10000% agree!!!! Feeling myself for sure! My fav
I recommend Defying Gravity and Hip-Hop Goes Broadway. Hilarious! XD
definitely guy.exe!
Just an FYI-some of us listen to Pentatonix Christmas music all year long just because it’s great music.
Yep I know I do. Specially if I'm upset and need to calm down. Just something about their Christmas songs is a balm to my soul.
Yes.
it gets mixed in with my regular music and sometimes I listen to half of Hark the Herald Angels before I realize it's April.
@@berlyn3014 this is so relatable
ohifonlyx33 - ive got an Avi playlist, and some of his best stuff with ptx is Xmas, so it plays year round.
They got their 2nd Grammy for this song! First was their Daft Punk Medly. Then this one. Their third one was for their cover of Jolene by Dolly Parton. She sang with them so she also won a Grammy. I’m not a fan of country music but I’ve put that on repeat a few times. Lol.
I was grinning the whole time waiting to see your reaction to Avi's airplane dive, and you didn't disappoint!
Same for Mitch lol
I love that name! "airplane dive", it's so apt!
I can't take credit - I heard another reactor call it that, and I stole it because, like you said, it's a perfect description.
Avi made an airplane dive, Mitch made a skyrocket lol
Avi’s bass line throughout this song is amazing. I love it so much. Not gonna skip Mitch’s amazing high notes, cause those are badass too. Not one word in this song, yet utterly engaging and awesome. :) You should check out PTX’s covers of “can’t hold us” and “gold”. Vastly different but both super awesome.

oh my god, you’re officially a pentaholic when you acknowledge Kirstie’s side-mouth 😂

GeriatricPTXer Thanks for this! I’d either forgotten or totally missed this one.
Mitch's small aria in Star Wars is just beautiful.
This piece really shows Avi's operatic training. Besides the obvious parts, listen for how he hits it in that last chord before the end bit. Wow! Gets me every time.
Um many requests. Little drummer boy, god rest ye merry gentlemen and love again.
Drummer boy is my favorite of their's. Please do this for sure.
Definitely seconding both GRYMG and Love Again.
Little Drummer Boy is the first one I ever heard from them and I fell in love from there.

Confession, I'm addicted to Avi's voice and I'm addicted to your reaction to Avi's voice and just your reaction in general
When Kirstie smirks when she sings she is doing a side mouth. She said that it’s a bad habit that she wants to get rid of. She used to think that it helped her hit the note, but she realized it didn’t.
xPHILLYSLUGGERx I thought she had nerve damage or something
GraffitiTurtle side mouth is a singing type
xPHILLYSLUGGERx when she was a baby she had a cleft palate. She had surgery but that is what caused her side smile. She had surgery again a couple years ago and that’s why she doesn’t have it as much any more
May I ste this comment to family. My sister is Kristi..a family quark is even smiling out the side of the mouth. Inherited..Germans. lol
It does indeed help to hit that note. The whole of our mouth and lips creates that perfect pitch.
Can you react to Can You Feel the Love Tonight by PTX? It’s so fantastically gorgeous I lose my mind every time
Stay tuned!
When this video first came out I remember thinking they look like mafia body guards guarding Kirstie that could fit in a John Wick movie. This also won them their 2nd Grammy. By the way Jase who is that cutie sneaking out of your bed @2:16 just to chill in the corner?
Lol I can see the resemblance. That was Moose. not supposed to be on the bed...bad.
Wow!! Amazing!! Thankyou , I enjoyed this so much. I could tell when Avi took the line. I never heard of him until he did ring of fire with home free. It amazes me how they did this video !!!!
AVI HAS SOLO MUSIC AND IT'S AMAZING
I am so glad you reacted to this! If you want some really awesome new stuff. I highly recommend You’re A mean one Mr Grinch and Making Christmas
💥💥I LOVE THIS SONG!! I LIVE FOR Avi's low note! Kevin is making crazy sounds and Scotts ghostly harmonies LOVE! LOVE LOVE!!!💥💥💥
You must, I repeat, you MUST react to PTX singing Aha! live in Singapore, The Star Vista. If you think this is mind-blowing, that one is going to make you faint. Trust.
He's picked up on the Kirsten smirk. Lol He's one step closer to being a 100% pentaholic
Making Christmas is amazing, as is Come Along
The more you pause, the more i like it. We all know PTX are GOAT!
Avi always looks so intense in the videos but in reality he’s so gentle
YES! This is one of my all time favorites of theirs!! Thank you!! I love Avi's part right before he does the really low note, it sounds so choral - like he's singing in an ancient cathedral or something - ugh just so gorgeous. Can't wait for you to do more of their Christmas stuff at some point. Thank you again!!
He should watch their arrangement of Silent Night because Avi IS singing in a cathedral.
Kirstie's little smirk is pretty cute. There is actually a vocal coach that wondered if it was something theatrical, or if she really needs to make a little smirk to get certain notes out.
Pentatonix Christmas music(especially if it's an original or a piece that they could really take their own) is well worth listening to at any time of the year, even if people are shooting daggers into your back cuz they can hear ya listening to it
So proud
I love when you watch PTX. 😊
Mitch said in an interview in Japan, that this is the most difficult arrangement to perform. Was with it since they got a Grammy for it
The Sugar Plum Fairy is a Ballet There are no words in it.
Not one word, but this won them their SECOND GRAMMY! And the choreography was amazing, especially since they were just dancing faces!
I blasts their Christmas albums! I also love watching your reactions, it reminds me of the first time I reacted to Pentatonix. Your channel is great!
Their cover of AHA! Is amazing
I don't think he's prepared for Aha! just yet 🤣 that's the Pentaholic's Holy Grail (in my opinion). I can't wait for him to react to it though!!
Jeline Nanashi yeah you right😂, but for real, he’s gonna be absolutely speechless 😂
So true!
I love how this dude just kind of dove into everything Ptx!
For more "Avi Candy" check out Black is the colour of my true loves hair with Avi and Peter 😉😉
Thanks for another great reaction! You should do one of their "Evolution of" videos (like "Evolution of Michael Jackson"). They have several. Also, their covers of 'Ride' by Twenty One Pilots
and 'Gold' by Kiiara are something a little different than what you have been doing up to now. Keep it up!

They have said this was the hardest arrangement they've ever done (with "Making Christmas" from a Nightmare Before Christmas coming in hot on its heels at #2).
You should check out "Making Christmas"! It's more "Halloween" than "Christmas" in theme and it's a blast!
The video is more like "Dance of the Bohemian Rhapsody Fairy", and the sound is like the Haunted Mansion at Disney World. Epic!
That's their second Grammy, right there.
It’s always Christmas time for A Cappella (especially PTX, Home Free, and Voice Play)! I was watching you and a little of PTX and your head was going all over the place. You were thoroughly enjoying the video, as was I. I just enjoy your look of astonishment (how can one not be while watching this video, right?). That was definitely a great request!
YES, YES, YES! Seeing this again through you makes it fresh and amazing all over again.
This one really showed off Avi's opera training :D Such a great one and you can tell that they really had fun with it! Thanks for sharing
I'm following your trip down the rabbit hole with PTX and thrilled you noticed Kirstie's grin!!! T's so stunning, am I right?!?!
They won a grammy for this!
If you haven't already, you might want to check out their cover of "No" by Meghan Trainer. I love Meghan but you really can't beat their cover. Mitch's attitude definitely adds to the song. And I love watching Avi's use of mic proximity when he does the bass slides. So good.
you should react to their cover of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
They actually did a version of this for an NFL football ad. It was really cool.
I love watching you fall in love with PTX, and especially Avi!!!
Please react to their covers of Come Along, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman, Aha!, and Making Christmas
Avi gave you the biggest eargasm haha
The highs and lows of Pentatonix!
This is an amazing performance. Incidentally, they won their second Grammy for this arrangement.
So glad you saw this one! I was gonna suggest it! Mind blowing! My daughters dance school did this as a ballet it was fantastic
Going to try again for Scott's cover of I Should Tell Ya Momma on You.
Jase at 2:28: 😱😱🤯🤯
Me: Yeah, he's not ready for Aha!... 🤣🤣🤣
Jase at 3:49: 😵😵😵
Me: Mm, yep no Aha! just yet 😁😁
Thank you Sheri for requesting this one! Of course PTX would cover a song that has no words, sound amazing, AND win a Grammy for it. They're super human, I tell you.
What other music will be coming up in the queue??? Loving these reactions, Jase! 🤘
Oh yea.. Aha is Mitch's high notes on steroids
@@jasonpankey69 Precisely! Mitch shines the brightest in that one but the way they all are in sync so well live is mind blowing. I can't wait until I get the chance to see them live.
After this you should do "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". Is similar to this one but Avi there is Awesome!
I think some of their best stuff is Christmas themed. You should really check out "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" (very recent, Matt is the lead and Scott covers the bass which is awesome), God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman or Rocking Around the Christmas Tree.
Natural disaster is a good one if you wanna hear some powerful bass. Aha! Live in Singapore is a great one. Hit the road jack but Live. Make sure it’s live if you want a special surprise
He is never ready for them.
I cannot believe you haven't reacted to PTX doing "Aha!" live at the Star Vista in Singapore.... Mitch's voice AND hair 100% on point lol
winter hymnal is one of my favorite songs from them!
They sound great through out any music they do.. new subscriber to you, great content! Next song suggestion: pentatonix- white winter hymnal
Hey Jase! I'm a huge fan of Pentatonix and have enjoyed your reactions to their music immensely! Not sure if you have viewed this one but "Cheerleader" is another great cover. I've started checking out reactions to your other videos. Keep the reviews coming!
And that's what Grammy Awards are made of.
Look at those subscriber numbers growing! The Pentaholics bumping you up constantly!
hi, love your reaction to Avi & Mitch, made me laugh. My suggestions would be to take a look at Superfruit, which is Scot & Mitch together, especially their take on Rise, its awesome. Also you need to check out todrick hall/ptx the wizard of AHHS and if you want a laugh check out Todrick doing Pentatodrix, just amazing.
I'm most interested in seeing you react to their version of.. Star Wars. It's a pretty good one.
Mitch slapped!!! 😂😂😂
I don t care if its april or july ptx Christmas Songs I can hear the whole year especially Mary did you know, that s Christmas to me and coldest winter
My chamber choir sang this song for christmas! The bass line was so fun to sing!! Keep it up Jase!
Another Grammy for them!
Coldest Winter by PTX! It’s not super long but really features a beat. It’s one of my favorites.
if you look up their performance of Aha! at the star Vista in Singapore you will be absolutely be blown away by both Mitch and Avi!!
Kirstie's lopsided smile is because as a child she had some kind of accident that resulted in some nerve damage to her mouth. Still sings great. She has had some kind of work done more recently to reduce that effect. Back then, though, it was involuntary.

I was supposed to be going to sleep.. and then I saw you uploaded. Guess sleep can wait for now 🤷🏽♀️
i love this one so much
Avi is the cherry on the cake. Amen
If it wasn't already explained, this had no lyrics because it's by Tchaikovsky and from his famous ballet, The Nutcracker.
Ahh Kirstens infamous side smirk. He finally noticed😄😄😁😁
One Grammy award later. 2:10 of not one word.
I think the niche you've created is basically "see Jase watch amazing music and completely lose his shit". I'm in.
Also Yebba my mind live at Sofar NYC
*cough* tomorrow *cough*
I love your reactions ! Couldn't wait to see your face at the high notes of Mitch and the low notes of Avi and you didn't disappoint me :) , it makes reactions worth watching !
I don't mind listening to Christmas music from PTX throughout the year :) !
Last summer I was listening to "Where are you Christmas "and "Coldest Winter " a lot , very refreshing when it's 40 C ( 104 F) LOL.
Kirstie's smirk while she sings is better known as her 'Sidemouth singing'. Great reaction Jase! Keep it up!
Yes, Kirstie's side smile! :D She actually stopped doing it while singing now for the most part. It's not a healthy thing to do for your vocals and I think she was self-conscious about it too. She did bring it back a little in Can You Feel the Love Tonight for example, but it seemed very intentional on her part and more just like a nod to fans, so I think she found a way to compromise :).
Another Grammy winning song and this time with no words! ❤️
I have so many Christmas song requests for you from PTX. Can’t wait for the season.
Jase, you are the only reaction to... guy I subscribe to. Love watching your reactions! Keep it up
Jase. One word: *Ballet!*
(And deeper down the rabbithole.)
Jase, if you like the Avi ‘low tones’ check out The Wizard of Ahs’ - Todrickhall and Pentatonix.
Lol, the perfect definition of being "mitch-slapped."
You are such fun to watch.
They won there second Grammy for this.
My vote: PTX. Can you feel the love tonight.
You’re welcome in advance!! 😁👍
Well, if you look at their catalogue of music, about half of it is from their many Christmas/holiday albums. So you'd be missing out on a lot of their music if you only listened to their holiday music during December or whatever.

Ahh yes, Superfruit guy.exe and Pentatonix SING!
This will be my first time commenting a request ever. You should check out PTX doing Aha! It is so amazing, and I've listened to that on repeat lol.
