This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I can’t even imagine a more beautiful arrangement and performance. I’ve seen them do this on a Christmas TV show, and it was just as amazing without the excellent video of this performance. Please stay in the Pentatonix rabbit hole for awhile, and check in on Home Free, their country competitors also. I love a capella.
This was a wonderful version of this song to share with the world. Thank you Pentatonix! This song & White Winter Hymnal made me a Pentatonix fan big time! I like what they did with Dolly Parton, too!
Thank you so much for giving Leonard Cohen his due credit. So few of these reaction channels do...if they even know who he is or who wrote the song. I personally think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. And this performance and arrangement is simply stunning. The live version is also amazing.
Dani, in this amazing cover you see Avi (the second base singer) featured. He was an original member going back to their beginning when they won a show called Sing Off. This show launched their career. After several years Avi made the decision to step back and go out in his own. The relentless pace needed to build your brand and your followers was too much for him. He has his own music now and he cam be seen as Avi Kaplan. In your recent reactions of Pentatonix you have their newest member Matt who has an incredible voice as well. Pentatonix won a grammy for their video Daft Punk. The creativity is so on point. They each sang their parts in a closet to get the look and it only cost them $400. Lastly they did an early take on the Wizard of Oz. It is a fun rendition. They are so talented and smart!
That is the true power of music to move us and create emotions..that is a true power...this version..just wow..no words. Peace out and Love all. Happy now (an original) will make you feel great...Imagine...ties the world together.
That was a wonderful reaction, Dani! Thank you for having the patience to navigate the YT minefield. Just so you know, they performed this live for a live Christmas special in 2016. As always, they replicate almost exactly their official video. Kirstin gets a bit emotional and has to take a "catch breath" near the end of her solo. Their harmonies have always been extraordinary, but they are getting ever more complex and amazing as they mature both individually and as a group. As a singer you might find their cover of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" interesting. They perform several key changes. Their cover of Kiiara's "Gold" is also very special. It's live and a one-take for a very difficult song. You might want to listen to Kiiara's orginal first and then react to PTX. Enjoy!
Nice to see that you have such a deep emotional reaction to great music......some people just dont get the talent that it takes to not sing, but to create vocal art, with their voices....you get that for sure.
Musical perfection. For my money the leads were all great but I was blown away by the arrangement and performance of the background vocals. Positively transformative for this piece.
Ooh that's a tough call on best embodiment. Like I'd say "Imagine" and "Daft Punk" are all equally perfect reflections of their renditions of the songs, with "Bohemian Rhapsody" being a hair behind where someone could easily talk me into calling that top too. The problem is they are too perfect at everything they do.
You get to hear *all 5* sing (yes, including Kevin, the beat-boxer!), in "Mary, Did You Know?" ... I can *strongly* recommend it! An absolutely beautiful song, beautifully done!
this song was originally written by leonard cohen, who actaully performed at woodstock and was the only performer where the audience is just very subdued. you should also check out his version too when you get a moment
Hello I just want to put it out there I'm disappointed that this group didn't get the Grammy they sure deserved it .come on who else sings like them .sure there's many talented si gers out there.bug wow none like petitonix
This Leonard Cohen iconic Masterpiece is one of my all time favorite songs, and I've heard it covered more times than I can count. All were good, some were very good, and a few were great. Then there's this from Pentatonix; by far the best version I have ever heard. And with well over half a Billion views on YT, apparently many feel the same. I didn't think there was any way they could top this, then two weeks ago (11/95) they released their version of "Amazing Grace" ruclips.net/video/Obp-9BEZe1c/видео.html It's as good as "Hallelujah", and with the spiritual meaning, maybe better. I was totally blown away, and I've listened to it many times already. Your reaction to their version of "Hallelujah" is terrific. I'm confident you will feel the same about "Amazing Grace". It's almost too good to describe. Best wishes, Dani. 💕💕
Havana is silky sweet ear candy. Todrick hall collaboration on the Wizard of Ahhhs is excellent. Daft punk was their first Grammy award and is quite different from their epic single song covers. They have even done several collaborations with Lindsay Stirling where you get to see Kevin beat cello
I love ur reactions and your own songs. You have the voice of an angel. I see u like Queen so how come u haven't done PTX Bohemian Rhapsody yet? Brian May tweeted it out when he saw it. 😊
A very heartfelt reaction. This is a beautiful acapella version of this great song. I love this version but I equally love Jeff Buckley's superb stripped back version. You've probably heard it, but definately worth a listen if you haven't.
Hi Dani, I am one of your Subs and oddly an early entry for a comment. I do not know the particulars of this RUclips blocking videos. It would seem like a reaction video would be "Fain Use " with little excepting or questioning ? It seems absolutely stupid for the publishing companies to block videos as it only helps promote the song that they have the rights to ? I do not know much about this. One reactor that I watch is Elizabeth Zharkoff and she did about a 10 min video on the problems he has had and what she did about it. I wanted to leave you this link as it might be helpful. She seems to know what she is doing. Good luck with all this . With love from Florida ruclips.net/video/-cMamxBIA8U/видео.html
The issue is with the recording company not receiving monetary compensation for people that essentially just replay a video. The biggest way to avoid it being claimed is to ensure that the reaction video is making its own original content with the intent to educate or be non-commercial. Usually claims are made against people that are monetizing their videos and basically making money off the artist's work, but that is certainly not always the case. Putting breaks in the replay helps, but the best thing to do is offer your own original content during those breaks. A break to say "That was beautiful" is not enough to make your own video original content. There is obviously a lot more to it than that, but it is a start. For instance, on this video, Dani does NOT include a link to the original video in her description box. Doing that helps to redirect people to the original video in addition to Dani's so that PTX and RCA get a view on the original video. I would highly recommend adding all pertinent info about the song in the description box, including writer credits, singer credits, arranging credits, publisher credits, etc. That alone won't stop a claim, but it certainly helps. Just a little FYI to help with the confusing laws surrounding "fair use".
Yeah but unfortunately, for copyright reasons, they have to interrupt the video several times to keep from getting banned. Copyright rules are getting too strict/restrictive. :(
Beautiful reaction !!! I know its very disappointing for you when your videos get blocked being you work very hard on them . Glad to see both PTX videos are unblocked now!!! {FLY FREE LUCKY GIRL [mama bird] WE LOVE YOU!!!
Hi Mommy!!! Yes, this one is for LUCKY GIRL, MAMA BIRD!!!! I was hoping to get lots of prayers sent for her with this one!!! Hopefully more people will see it now, I hate my videos get blocked - I put a lot of time and effort in!
The best a capella group ever and they make this song the best worship song ever. Thank you Dani.
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I can’t even imagine a more beautiful arrangement and performance.

Bohemian Rhapsody is one of their best! It's amazing how they mimic sounds of instruments.
That is the true power of music to move us and create emotions..that is a true power...this version..just wow..no words. Peace out and Love all. Happy now (an original) will make you feel great...Imagine...ties the world together.

WOW Fantastic another wow heavenly voices
I have no words... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Musical perfection. For my money the leads were all great but I was blown away by the arrangement and performance of the background vocals. Positively transformative for this piece.
I also meant to say they performed this so beautiful... I was waiting to hear you join in ,since you also sing this song so beautiful!!!!
Most dynamic arrangement "Sound of Silence". Best embodiment of a song "Imagine".
Ooh that's a tough call on best embodiment. Like I'd say "Imagine" and "Daft Punk" are all equally perfect reflections of their renditions of the songs, with "Bohemian Rhapsody" being a hair behind where someone could easily talk me into calling that top too. The problem is they are too perfect at everything they do.
Sound of silence is better overall. Most dynamic is Daft Punk.
I know I am quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new series online?
@Hamza Rhett I would suggest Flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Marshall Damon yea, I have been using flixzone for months myself :)
Sound of silence and amazing grace
They use their voices as instruments. They are just amazing.
You get to hear *all 5* sing (yes, including Kevin, the beat-boxer!), in "Mary, Did You Know?" ... I can *strongly* recommend it! An absolutely beautiful song, beautifully done!
this song was originally written by leonard cohen, who actaully performed at woodstock and was the only performer where the audience is just very subdued. you should also check out his version too when you get a moment
For centuries, Western civilization has known vocal music as “The First Art”! This is a prime example of that principle!
One of their classics, well reviewed. So glad I have found a top quality reactor.
What a great reaction to a great group, and an unforgettable song.....
I'm so sorry for the loss of your dove.
Hello I just want to put it out there I'm disappointed that this group didn't get the Grammy they sure deserved it .come on who else sings like them .sure there's many talented si gers out there.bug wow none like petitonix
It’s ok to cry Dani.
Enjoyed your reaction, Dani!

It's almost too good to describe. Best wishes, Dani. 💕💕
You need to react to Pentatonix's "Daft Punk", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "Wizard of Ahhs". I think you will really enjoy those three videos.
"Bohemian Rhapsody"! You won't believe your eye and ears
Being raised in a Church which believes all Hymns ate to be sung A CAPPELLA, I love A CAPPELLA groups.
One of their best is Bohemian Rapsody. A must see.
This version should make everybody teary!
Havana is silky sweet ear candy. Todrick hall collaboration on the Wizard of Ahhhs is excellent.
Daft punk was their first Grammy award and is quite different from their epic single song covers.
They have even done several collaborations with Lindsay Stirling where you get to see Kevin beat cello
Shortly before he passed, Leonard Cohen heard Pentatonix Cover of his song. He said it was the best cover he had ever heard.
I like when reactors pause to make comments -- but be sure to use the 'jump back 5 seconds' key, or you may miss transitions & dynamic shifts!
Oops you went down the pentatonix rabit hole,ya want a sad song check out say something. Kirstie looks likes shes gona break out in tears.
And Kevin plays cello. It's stunning, I hope you react to it!
I love ur reactions and your own songs. You have the voice of an angel. I see u like Queen so how come u haven't done PTX Bohemian Rhapsody yet? Brian May tweeted it out when he saw it. 😊
I love the original. Dont get me wrong. However, I would rather listen go this version than any of the others. This is absolutely amazing
Who do you think is the original?
The only “original” is Cohen himself. Dark and raspy. Cohen was a singular composer not a singer.
A very heartfelt reaction. This is a beautiful acapella version of this great song. I love this version but I equally love Jeff Buckley's superb stripped back version. You've probably heard it, but definately worth a listen if you haven't.
I love Amazing Grace
Right on the money
It is a very nice version, of a song that's been covered by many, my favourite version is Paul Gross love his voice.
How about the contra-bass Bb on the last chord sung by Avi? The overtones were flooding down!
I don't understand how they say you don't like music do ya when they are given the talent to sing by God
Here for the Mitch Face!
And no auto-tuning on ANY of those voices!
And that's how you get a half a billion views!!
Mary did you know?
Sound of silence
Imagine
I just came here for this. 6:02
Have you seen Jeff Buckley version of hallelujah. If not I rest recommend watching it . It's my favorite version

I'm so sorry you lost your baby, I know it's hard to lose a pet you love.
Hi Danni do u know the meaning of Hallelujah and wat it says,a lot of people don't, it means praise Jehovah
I see you liked this, I see you like Home Free also. Please revue their How Great Tho Art. Think you will enjoy it also.
I love the song and love hearing them sing this great song. I love your reactions so much. Please react to ABBA and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons
Please react to their version of "Imagine", simply stunning and a very important message for today.
Please react to the Pentatonix Version of 'Mary did you know' 🙏😊
So you like good contemporary Singers try Morissette Amon "Secret Love Song".
Hey Dani, would be interested to see your comments on this one.
Good review, but I wish reviewer took notes instead of interrupting the song at some of the best transitions.
Yeah but unfortunately, for copyright reasons, they have to interrupt the video several times to keep from getting banned. Copyright rules are getting too strict/restrictive. :(
Sorry about your dove. :(
