A Christmas Miracle! (We can all wish for one of those) Scott. He has that Baritone voice that will compliment hers perfectly in a duet. (My early morning answer) Thanks for this. Loved it. (Can't wait until next year, you best have Grandma got run over by a reindeer by HF. 😁 )
It's funny how we can see you sing the song in your head, even without moving your mouth, B. You want to burst it out so bad. (We love when you do) Merry, merry Christmas! Another great choice.
It always amazes me how they can take an old traditional Christmas carol that everyone has heard a thousand times, and turn it into something completely new and fresh. Once you hear them sing a carol in their style, you'll never hear it the same way again. I like the way you commented how much Kirstie adds to each song. This recording was made back when she was still not confident in her talent, was very shy and not wanting to be in the spotlight as much as the others, despite the fact that the Pentaholics KNEW how much she added. Thankfully, she finally came out of that shell and has become my favorite member mainly because of the confidence she now radiates.
The problem with Kirstie singing a solo is, there's this massive hole in the background, because she's not there to fill it. It's truly remarkable at just how good she is at background harmony and fills.
I'm an American and I've never said, "Happy Holidays, Y'all" to anyone. I say, "Merry Christmas, Y'all" (pronounced Ya'wl. As in Yawn, do away w/ the "N" and go heavy on the "L". Ya got it.) Some crazy Northerner must have come up w/ the spelling of Y'all, which is nothing like how we say it in the South. lol I don't know who comes up w/ PTX's music arrangements, but I am pretty sure they are a musical genius. This was incredible. Thanks for the review, Barry, and Merry Christmas.
Enjoyed listening to this song again.🎶🎵 Barry, I'd really like to see (and hear) Kirsten and Scott to do an EP. Scott could choose a different voice for each song on the EP. This was not an easy choice, she would sound great with any of them! ❤
Such a beautiful song! 😊 It definitely puts you in a Christmas mood. To answer your question, I guess I would say Mitch or Scott, but they all have such beautiful voices, any of them would sound good. (It's too hard to decide!😅🤭) I always forget the titles to songs, (and movies, and books) too! It drives my sister crazy. 😂 I loved your reaction to this. ☺️ 🎅🏻🎄🎁🦌🛷❄️⛄
Thanks! MERRY CHRISTMAS and GOD BLESS! Don’t you just love the way Mitch always manages to smile when he is singing. How can anyone not love him? Of course I love all of them. They fit so well.
Hi Jan 👋 THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤️ for yet another lovely 🎉Super Thanks🎉 You are far too kind to me. Yes Mitch’s smile brightens this video and so many others and seeing a comment from you has the same effect on me. Your friendship and support warms my heart and makes me smile. I wish you, your loved ones, your pets, your friends and everyone important to you, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thanks again Jan ❤️ B☘️
@@ItsmeBarry my pleasure! It’s nice to have such a talented and fun friend in such a fairytale place. It’s home to you but a place to dream and imagine to me. I’ve been to England but sadly not Ireland. You take me a little closer with your videos. Isn’t the Internet a great way to have friends? 🥰
Yes it’s amazing. The world can gather in this little place, brought together by music and we can make friends then travel through their words to places we dream to see one day. I’m glad that I can bring you a little closer.
@@Ptxlive He's good at whistling for sure but his mouth as that exact shape whenever he's doing overtones. Well, kind of since this was just for the video shooting, he wasn't really doing it... The sound is that too but yes, you're right, it's great either way 😊 Happy holidays! ✨🌲
Marvellous ! I love them all but Scotttttttt even more😜 What a great performance, quite the "deep" Christmas spirit for me Thank you Barry 😍❤🍀 Music in the head for the day
Hi Barry☘️, Kevin and others? Had some different sounds in this one (whistling wind and whooshing sounds). Very interesting. Key change, nice! Each one individually and as a group worked well as they always do. 🙂 And hey, the BB’s love to hear you sing. Let it out!! Let it out!! I think we say Happy Holidays because it is more inclusive. We just have so many people of different religions, beliefs, cultures here. Not that that isn’t the case other places, but I think this is the reason. So with out Annie-foder ado! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone Happy Everything!!
If you are wondering where that high pitched overtone came from it is AVI. He is able to produce TWO tones simultaneously. Again, I still love your format of react then review. Keep it up Barry.
Shilohaura mentioned this already, but wanted to make sure you Barry, my good sir, caught that the ethereal ringing sound behind Mitch's opening phrase is Avi using his overtone mastery. Not that you needed more reason to be impressed with them.... :)
This is the song that made me a Pentaholic! As a composer-jazz pianist, I was blown away by Avi’s overtone singing and the whistle notes, but what REALLY blew me out of the water were the minor 9th chords and major 9th at the end (Scott’s singing it).
Oh my gosh! Was that Avi singing his high overtone notes at the beginning and making it sound like organ bells?!?!?!? He is absolutely the most gifted person PTX has had.
It's December 18th! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!🎄❄☃ Pentatonix takes this traditional Christmas carol and creates a modern, updated version as only they can do. Well done! Enjoyed your reaction B☘.
Nothing is left to chance is it? For example the way each of them aspirate in the Gloria run in exactly the same point giving the run an extra emotional tug on the heartstrings each time it is sung. Nothing is left to chance yet it sounds so natural, nothing is contrived. Then the twists and turns with unexpected cadences and unexpected rhythms. God they are good..they are mor3 than good they are divine!
From one Penta(tonix)holic to another - I appreciate that You first react, then comment - because, when something this delicious is served up, I'll always be back for and thoroughly enjoy a second helping...
Agreed. They all look and sound so perfect. Original, beautiful, and an inspiration, at least for me during all this chaos. My heart is smiling now Barry. Thank you for that. :)
This was the first song I heard by Pentatonix and it made me a Pentaholic for all these years! All those minor 9th chords throughout-until that last chord which was a major 9th!
Incredibly talented these young kids are. No matter what song they perform they make it better than it has ever been performed by others previously. Their musicality, creativity and presentations are unmatched these days. I'm probably a bit older than most that watch Pentatonix on a regular basis. I started watching them on "The Sing Off' and have followed them ever since. I go back to the early 1960's when there were the Hi-Los and the Four Freshmen. they were a bit like Pentatonix in their close harmonies and mostly Acapella performances. I would say that this video is 3 plus years old since Avi is here but they sure didn't lose anything when Matt joined them. It is incredible the vocal range all of these kids have. It is pretty obvious that they sincerely enjoy what they are doing . ! ! !
What interesting thing I noticed on this is they used Avi's need to belt out the phrase near the top of his vocal range as a dramatic effect. They are so good with things like that.
Great reaction/review. Thanks. You reached way back for this one and I love it. They sung this so beautifully. That part when Scott and Kevin sang together near the end really makes me happy for some reason.
Oh My gosh!!! they were so young!!!!!!! doesn't seem to matter, what I can say is it's cool to hear how their sound has matured and gotten even better.
Each one I watch I think 'Oh this is my fav' lol but this is so brilliant...all having a chance to shine...Miss Kirsten slaying her vocals....But you know I love Avi to bits.....and your sound system is so good Barry. picks up the bass and takes my breath away....did you hear his overtones at the beginning sounding like bells? .....You don't just hear Avi you 'feel' Avi. His gorgeous face just oozes warmth and joy.....Merry Christmas sir.
This is perhaps my favorite Christmas song arrangement by PTX. The jazzy bits & unexpected chord resolutions. It’s ear candy. SO glad you picked this one!
To me, their smiles and sparkling eyes along with cheerful song's make them the best. I love it when you sing with them. I'm your #1 Barry babe on the Barry bus for sure. It's June and I'm watching your Christmas reactions because I need a smile and cheer.
Dear Barry ☘️ can’t get enough of PTXmas. I like the little swanky spin in this traditional carol. Kevin’s beatboxing amazes! Every member is so into the performance and there is joy on their faces. Love! Can you believe I’m already missing PTXmas because Christmas comes in 2 days time and then it’s a long year’s wait. But then I know Barry will return to PTX’s catalog of songs. Merry Christmas! 🤗
I love this one, it reminds me of singing this when I was a kid in school and we clapped during the Gloria bit in School and church. I went to a catholic school and this song was one of the fun songs we used to sing, I love that Pentatonix covered it it’s one of my favourite Christian/Christmas songs
I am not a professional singer. My career up until I retired was spend in computer maintenance, library work, office automation, and copying medical records, in that order. I do have a little experience in music. I was in my high school band, and everyone on my family played a musical instrument. I really enjoy the acapella groups these days. They push the boundaries and I think that is great. Just a little bit of a joke here, I had a girlfriend named Gloria.
Barry you must watch their latest - My Favorite Things. Since it’s not really a Christmas song, you can always catch it after Christmas. I wish you and yours a Happy Christmas ☮️💟😷🎄❤️💚🎅🏼
MY FAAVORITE MOMENT IS WHEN AVI SINGS " THE NEWBORN KING!" THE LOOK ON HIS FACE....AS IF HE WAS REALLY LOOKING AT THE NEWBORN KING! BARRY PLEASE REVIEW CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT.........MITCH IS AMAZING IN IT!
I love seeing their early arrangements. They has so much talent even back then but yet they didn’t just stay there. They’ve grown so much and even their voices are better. I’m so happy that my favorite group lives Christmas & chooses to continue to pronounce new records☮️💟😷
Thank you for this one, it's wonderful. I used to sing it in church and choir, and their take is stunningly gorgeous. Happy holiday memories. (Santa came out to group hug them at the end !) Now, remember, Barry, they have a new album coming out in February, too. We hope to continue watching their new songs with you. Enjoy your holidays ! :)
Loved this song of course. But now is the time to say how much I appreciate everything about your reactions. I love your humor, I love your frankness, I love your periodic silliness, and I love how well you analyze and comment on each performance. I don't know how you get around all the copyright issues, but you do that so well as well. In any event, thank you so much for all of it and have a wonderful Christmas.
Well, Barry, I made it to Christmas songs in my notifications. Do I say, "Merry (early) Christmas"? I love Christmas, although not the same the last few years. I turned into a female version of the Grinch. (My Lord, Kirstin can go high) Anyhow, Bump. (Although I don't know many ppl that want to listen to Christmas songs in July.😂) LOL, just thought of the episode of Mrs. Brown's Boys when she climbed the tree to fix it and it started spinning her around and around. Hilarious. Sounds like something that would happen to me. Gotta finish my pork chop sandwich (too tired to cook a full meal) Sandwiches are doable when you make a good one. Used fresh rosemary to give it that something-something. I'd send you one, but you are too far away. Tata for now. 😎
A very Merry Christmas to you Lana 😂 it’s never too early to enjoy some Christmas spirit. Plus with how fast time is passing the decorations will be popping up soon enough. Yes my Kirstie Kirstinson (👈 official title) has a powerful voice for such a small frame… or any frame come to think of it. Yes for a few years Brendan was only recording Christmas specials and the Christmas tree became a running joke. A live version of the show is touring the uk at the moment but they will be recording a few episodes soon as far as I’m aware and not just for Christmas. I’ve had my fair share of pork chops but never in a sandwich 🤔 pop one, or several in an envelope and post it to me. I’m ravenous and want some of that something-something Thanks for the bump.
@@ItsmeBarry Really? No pork chop sandwich? Where you been? 😂 I throw a seasoned pork chop in some real butter, fry on med high (not letting the butter burn), add fresh rosemary and thyme and a little fresh garlic on top of the pork chop, scoop hot butter over it, opening up the flavors, turn over one time to saute' the spices. Rest, cut the pork chop off the bone (Gnawing on the bone is a must before tossing. Yum!) Now, saute' mushrooms in that butter. Assemble sandwich. Toasted bread, mayo, pork chop, mushrooms, swiss cheese. (heat will melt it). BARRY, you have a heck of a sandwich. lol BTW, put a video up of my food and garden. Watch it for me for a view, please? (PAY BACK. LOL)
@@StorytimeWithLana I just came from your video, I’m subscribed since day in fact hour one so I’ll never miss a video (try stop me) That sandwich sounds unbelievable, but beware you may end up with teeth marks on your hand as you try serve it to me.
@@ItsmeBarry 🤣Wow, it's a good thing I didn't want to make Jalapeno Mayo (always gives a porkchop sandwich the best flavor and kick.), or I wouldn't have a hand left. LOL Thanks, Barry.
After the Christmas reactions, please react to some of Avi Kaplan's solo stuff. I suggest starting with "Change On The Rise". Much love from the USA 💜💜💜
Please, react to the beautiful original song "Thank You", bound to be a Christmas classic. It will play your heart strings. A showcase of their talents and soul as a group. You won't regret it.
Barry, .please, please remember, coffee is lovely. The effect of drinking 3 shots of espresso from a tiny glass is, however, causes the rough equivalent of a explosion. Just a tiny bit calmer and you wouldn't have let "Angels' come out spelled "Angles'...No aspersions to angles - I'm sure they can make perfectly lovely noise, but for singing? Angels can really let loose...
That they get to do their European tour in the late spring/summer as is currently scheduled. Everyone on your side of the pond has waited SO LONG!! Do you think you'll be able to make it somewhere to see them Barry? Hope so...it'd be fun to hear all about it!!

Driving over here from your Community page. You put Kirstin and Mitch together then all bets are off. Fabulous, powerful, and more.
Lovely and unexpected chords blended into the traditional melody made this arrangement a special gift for the ears.
A Christmas Miracle! (We can all wish for one of those)
Scott. He has that Baritone voice that will compliment hers perfectly in a duet. (My early morning answer)
Thanks for this. Loved it. (Can't wait until next year, you best have Grandma got run over by a reindeer by HF. 😁 )
I would love to hear Kirsten and Mitch sing together, but with Mitch singing in his lower register.
One of the best things about PTX, I can listen to PTXMAS all year long!!
It's funny how we can see you sing the song in your head, even without moving your mouth, B. You want to burst it out so bad. (We love when you do)
Merry, merry Christmas! Another great choice.

Rather clearly, her time on Broadway with a voice coach was time well-spent.
Avi's overtones while Mitch is singing 🎶 in the beginning! Priceless! 💖
Right!?!? I had to do some digging to believe that wasn't added in post!!! crazy....
I think he is actually whistling through his teeth. But either way it’s amazing!
Gorgeous !
I couldn't figure out what that sound was, and you've answered it. Awesomeness.
I'm an American and I've never said, "Happy Holidays, Y'all" to anyone. I say, "Merry Christmas, Y'all" (pronounced Ya'wl. As in Yawn, do away w/ the "N" and go heavy on the "L". Ya got it.) Some crazy Northerner must have come up w/ the spelling of Y'all, which is nothing like how we say it in the South. lol
I don't know who comes up w/ PTX's music arrangements, but I am pretty sure they are a musical genius. This was incredible. Thanks for the review, Barry, and Merry Christmas.
My wish for them that they keep singing for us!😛😄💞
Enjoyed listening to this song again.🎶🎵

PTX singing resonates in my soul.
My wish for PENTATONIX 2021? MORE!
If you are wondering where that high pitched overtone came from it is AVI. He is able to produce TWO tones simultaneously. Again, I still love your format of react then review. Keep it up Barry.
This was during Mitch’s solo at the beginning. I didn’t catch it if he did it elsewhere. It adds so much yet it’s so subtle it’s easy to overlook.
I've been listening to this every Christmas for 5 years and didn't notice the overtone until today. 🤯
I'm pretty sure it was tuned higher than normal though. Not that it matters to me lol
I was wondering if that is what I was hearing! Usually the base note he builds the resonance off of is more apparent. I thought I was hearing things.
I had to go back to hear that... Avi is amazing as always...
I absolutely LOVE the way you look into the camera. I talk to you like you are talking to me. Love it. Rock on!
Shilohaura mentioned this already, but wanted to make sure you Barry, my good sir, caught that the ethereal ringing sound behind Mitch's opening phrase is Avi using his overtone mastery. Not that you needed more reason to be impressed with them.... :)
What planet are they from? This music is otherworldly! WOW
This is the song that made me a Pentaholic! As a composer-jazz pianist, I was blown away by Avi’s overtone singing and the whistle notes, but what REALLY blew me out of the water were the minor 9th chords and major 9th at the end (Scott’s singing it).
I know we’re celebrating Christmas right now but check out A Little Space by PENTATONIX! Awesome, of course!
Oh my gosh! Was that Avi singing his high overtone notes at the beginning and making
it sound like organ bells?!?!?!?
He is absolutely the most gifted person PTX has had.
It's December 18th! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!🎄❄☃
Pentatonix takes this traditional Christmas carol and creates a modern, updated version as only they can do. Well done! Enjoyed your reaction B☘.
Feliz Navidad! 🙏🤗❤
Keep singing. Keep smiling. Keep loving.
Merry Christmas in April! Their voices just SOAR! 🎄 ❤️
Oh look at our Mitch. He is so handsome and looks so healthy. Not only does he sing like an angel, he looks like one!

They make the traditional carols feel....plain. love, love, love their Christmas interpretations of these familiar carols
You might take a peek at Foxes and Fossils, outstanding cover band.
Agreed. They all look and sound so perfect. Original, beautiful, and an inspiration, at least for me during all this chaos. My heart is smiling now Barry. Thank you for that. :)
This was the first song I heard by Pentatonix and it made me a Pentaholic for all these years! All those minor 9th chords throughout-until that last chord which was a major 9th!
This was (a few years back) one of the video that solidified my love for this group. The arrangement, the unexpected chord changes... amazing.

“Grab em by the face and take them!” 🤣 greatness!!! Love this reaction (well all of them really) ♥️♥️

Great reaction as always Barry. Merry Christmas from Philippines! From here it's "Maligayang Pasko"
Your reactions are absolutely priceless
Thanks so much Nancy

Merry Christmas Barry
In America we have Christmas 🎄in July. Lots of good sales. Christmas movies on tv. I listen to Christmas music 🎶🎵all year!

Sing that song please sing it berry
The best way to listen to these songs is with headphones, I feel that you catch more of the nuances with the over the ear headphones.

Love! Can you believe I’m already missing PTXmas because Christmas comes in 2 days time and then it’s a long year’s wait. But then I know Barry will return to PTX’s catalog of songs. Merry Christmas! 🤗
Continue writing and recording original music. And come to Vegas so I can see you in person. :-)
Ok..still catching up but loving every minute of your channel Mr Barry!!! I want o hear you sing!!!
I love this one, it reminds me of singing this when I was a kid in school and we clapped during the Gloria bit in School and church. I went to a catholic school and this song was one of the fun songs we used to sing, I love that Pentatonix covered it it’s one of my favourite Christian/Christmas songs
@Caz Laming. I think the word you’re looking for is carols. As in Christmas carols😀.
@@fmcm7715 but we didn’t just sing it at Christmas we sang it all year round we called it a Hymn
Freaking great lad! You know my Da turned me on to your channel. Mam watches you too. Cheers to you and the hair! Ha!
say thanks to your Man and Da.That’s lovely to think of a family watching my crazy videos 👍
Haven't heard from you in awhile.
Hope all is well.
I am not a professional singer. My career up until I retired was spend in computer maintenance, library work, office automation, and copying medical records, in that order. I do have a little experience in music. I was in my high school band, and everyone on my family played a musical instrument. I really enjoy the acapella groups these days. They push the boundaries and I think that is great.
Just a little bit of a joke here, I had a girlfriend named Gloria.
Another great reaction Barry. Have a great Xmas and New Year.
Barry you must watch their latest - My Favorite Things. Since it’s not really a Christmas song, you can always catch it after Christmas. I wish you and yours a Happy Christmas ☮️💟😷🎄❤️💚🎅🏼
MY FAAVORITE MOMENT IS WHEN AVI SINGS " THE NEWBORN KING!" THE LOOK ON HIS FACE....AS IF HE WAS REALLY LOOKING AT THE NEWBORN KING! BARRY PLEASE REVIEW CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT.........MITCH IS AMAZING IN IT!
Please react to their " white christmas " with the Manhattan Transfer . You will love it! No video made on that, only audio. Pleae! Please! Please!
Merry Christmas 🎄💓
I love seeing their early arrangements. They has so much talent even back then but yet they didn’t just stay there. They’ve grown so much and even their voices are better. I’m so happy that my favorite group lives Christmas & chooses to continue to pronounce new records☮️💟😷
Thank you for this one, it's wonderful. I used to sing it in church and choir, and their take is stunningly gorgeous. Happy holiday memories. (Santa came out to group hug them at the end !)
Now, remember, Barry, they have a new album coming out in February, too. We hope to continue watching their new songs with you. Enjoy your holidays ! :)
As everyone else I hope for them to be able to tour again and for me to be there!
They do amazing arrangements. Amazing. Stunning. Merry PTXMAS!
I am enjoying your reviews and would love to hear you review "aha" from PTX. I'm sore everyone would enjoy your review of that one....thanks
Especially the live Singapore performance!
Kirsty and Mitch would be a good combo on an EP!
Loved this song of course. But now is the time to say how much I appreciate everything about your reactions. I love your humor, I love your frankness, I love your periodic silliness, and I love how well you analyze and comment on each performance. I don't know how you get around all the copyright issues, but you do that so well as well. In any event, thank you so much for all of it and have a wonderful Christmas.
Well, Barry, I made it to Christmas songs in my notifications. Do I say, "Merry (early) Christmas"? I love Christmas, although not the same the last few years. I turned into a female version of the Grinch. (My Lord, Kirstin can go high)
Anyhow, Bump. (Although I don't know many ppl that want to listen to Christmas songs in July.😂)
LOL, just thought of the episode of Mrs. Brown's Boys when she climbed the tree to fix it and it started spinning her around and around. Hilarious. Sounds like something that would happen to me.
Gotta finish my pork chop sandwich (too tired to cook a full meal) Sandwiches are doable when you make a good one. Used fresh rosemary to give it that something-something.
I'd send you one, but you are too far away. Tata for now. 😎
A very Merry Christmas to you Lana 😂 it’s never too early to enjoy some Christmas spirit. Plus with how fast time is passing the decorations will be popping up soon enough.
Yes my Kirstie Kirstinson (👈 official title) has a powerful voice for such a small frame… or any frame come to think of it.
Yes for a few years Brendan was only recording Christmas specials and the Christmas tree became a running joke. A live version of the show is touring the uk at the moment but they will be recording a few episodes soon as far as I’m aware and not just for Christmas.
I’ve had my fair share of pork chops but never in a sandwich 🤔
pop one, or several in an envelope and post it to me. I’m ravenous and want some of that something-something
Thanks for the bump.
@@ItsmeBarry Really? No pork chop sandwich? Where you been? 😂 I throw a seasoned pork chop in some real butter, fry on med high (not letting the butter burn), add fresh rosemary and thyme and a little fresh garlic on top of the pork chop, scoop hot butter over it, opening up the flavors, turn over one time to saute' the spices. Rest, cut the pork chop off the bone (Gnawing on the bone is a must before tossing. Yum!) Now, saute' mushrooms in that butter. Assemble sandwich. Toasted bread, mayo, pork chop, mushrooms, swiss cheese. (heat will melt it). BARRY, you have a heck of a sandwich. lol
BTW, put a video up of my food and garden. Watch it for me for a view, please? (PAY BACK. LOL)
@@StorytimeWithLana I just came from your video, I’m subscribed since day in fact hour one so I’ll never miss a video (try stop me)
That sandwich sounds unbelievable, but beware you may end up with teeth marks on your hand as you try serve it to me.
@@ItsmeBarry 🤣Wow, it's a good thing I didn't want to make Jalapeno Mayo (always gives a porkchop sandwich the best flavor and kick.), or I wouldn't have a hand left. LOL
Thanks, Barry.
After the Christmas reactions, please react to some of Avi Kaplan's solo stuff. I suggest starting with "Change On The Rise". Much love from the USA 💜💜💜
Barry, where are your other reactions. I only have about five songs. PLEASE check out My Favorite Things! You’ll be amazed.
OMG 😱 😮🤷♀️🇬🇧❤️🙏
Please, react to the beautiful original song "Thank You", bound to be a Christmas classic. It will play your heart strings. A showcase of their talents and soul as a group. You won't regret it.
To be on more It’s me Barry videos!
Barry, .please, please remember, coffee is lovely. The effect of drinking 3 shots of espresso from a tiny glass is, however, causes the rough equivalent of a explosion. Just a tiny bit calmer and you wouldn't have let "Angels' come out spelled "Angles'...No aspersions to angles - I'm sure they can make perfectly lovely noise, but for singing? Angels can really let loose...
Christmas is almost here.
Tell me... what is your wish for Pentatonix in 2021?
That they get to start touring again - safely! 💖
For them to be able to tour again, because they miss it so much.
That they remain healthy and can tour again safely!!! I NEED to see them again!
To see more Barry reactions! You've promised all of them, and we will hold you to it 😅 😘
That they get to do their European tour in the late spring/summer as is currently scheduled. Everyone on your side of the pond has waited SO LONG!! Do you think you'll be able to make it somewhere to see them Barry? Hope so...it'd be fun to hear all about it!!
