This song was written by David Foster and Carol Bayer Sager for the 1998 animated film, “Quest for Camelot”. Originally recorded by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli, it’s been a favorite for over 20 years. Josh Groban got his big break by being asked to fill for Bocelli at two award show rehearsals. It’s been covered many times by many artists since then, but IMHO this is by far the best. How do you compare Celine’s soprano to Mitch’s counter tenor or Bocelli’s Italian tenor to Scott’s baritone? Or a duet backed by a full orchestra to five incredible a cappella voices? Mitch’s magic. Scott’s soul. Kirstie’s belting soprano. Matt’s underlying bass. Kevin’s driving percussion. Am so jealous you get to hear this live! More please!!!
That was the first time I remember hearing it. Interestingly, the first time we hear it, it is a direct prayer to God from Kayley's mother to watch over her on her quest. The broadened terms of "us/children" that became the popular studio version and the one known world wide to audiences is not the original use of the song. I always sing the version the mother sang first to myself upon hearing it and remember the movie because of it.
Reactor tip: if you can't get a video up, just blur it. Most of us have seen the videos, or can watch them outside the reaction. What we come to see is your reaction to it.
I don't think anyone is going to be able to top this version of "The Prayer" as much as they want to try. It is beautiful not only because of the setting they created but because of the effort and emotion they put into doing this. I have no words to say how much I enjoy Pentatonix and they way they bring life to their songs. They amaze me with each new song. Each one has a wonderful gift to add to a song and I enjoy them so much. Thank you Pentatonix for the enjoyment you have let me experience the beauty of your voices and talent. Mr. Hassel, I very much enjoy your reactions and I know you will enjoy seeing them in person. Someday, maybe I will be able to also.
Please react to Dimash's Ave Maria from the New Wave 2021! It will blow you away!!! It's a Vocalise version composed for Dimash by Igor Krutoy after Dimash asked him to compose it for him! Love having you back! and Pentatonix is sublime!
Had a blast at Pentatonix concert, and so happy to meet so many of you. Thanks for introducing yourselves to me! We shared amazing music snd moments tnite!
I know you will enjoy yourself....I know I would....with that being said....I honestly think we might be looking at Grammy #4.....what do you all think???
You didn't notice that they were singing in English after they all came together. Everyone else sings that section in Italian. I've heard "The Prayer" by many artists and listening to Pentatonix is the first time I ever understood these words, since I don't speak Italian.
So happy to see you react to PTX again. This is the greatest vocal performance from them to date! I'll also be at the Dec 7th show at "The Rock" in Newark and can't wait to hear this live. This and I Saw Three Ships are my favorites but the entire album is spectacular. I'd love to see your reaction to their cover of I Just Called To Say I Love You. The five part harmonies are magical.
I was incredibly happy to see you reacting to Pentatonix again. You have been missed. I loved everything about their video, the arrangement and the performances. I hope that you enjoy the concert. They have no concerts anywhere near me (sigh). They did a short Behind The Scenes video for this video. I found it to be very interesting. Here is the link just in case you want to see it: ruclips.net/video/jvVW0DtlAsg/видео.html
Hello lukas Always so nice to see your reactions!!! And this wonderful presentation is breathtaking, isn't it??!!! How fantastic to be able to be at the PTX show - enjoy it so much Kisses from Brazil
I’ve watched countless reaction videos for this song and in each and every one of them the reactor’s face lights up after the first 20 seconds. It’s just magnificent.
Thank you so much for a fantastic reaction. I enjoyed watching your reaction and listening to your comments so much. I think this is their best performance ever! I am so jealous that you get to see them in person. I hope you enjoy it and have a fantastic time.
Absolutely beautiful rendition, my favorite version of this song, which I have always loved. This probably is my favorite PTX, but like so many say, each one you listen to is your favorite 🥰. Thank you for your reaction Lukas, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the PTX Concert ❤️
Powerful song and powerful interoperation:). Thank you Lukas for sharing your love for music and perception of this piece. Sharing similar love for music and not that different perception is definitely one of sources of happiness for me. So, thank you Lukas. Have a great time on 7th of December.
I think we have been.... Mitch Slapped Scott Shocked Kirstie Clapped KO'd by KO Mesmerized by Matt All at once. I wonder if only Pentaholics can live through this since we have been exposed more beauty than the average person. This song should come with a warning. This might destroy people that haven't been exposed to Pentatonix before. Enjoy the show! I saw them in 2018. Seems like forever ago. They are just as great live.
Thanks Lukas for this reaction. I missed Pentatonix. About 2-3 week ago, if I'm no mistaken,this recording appeared and of course I liestened to it then, and I even thought about you, how nice it would be if you reacted to this song, (and I hope not to be blocked). The song ''Prayer'' is very well known and I heard it in several variants, the best know being the one you mentioned with C.Dion in duet with A.Bocelli. Of course I like the song, but honestly, it sounds different and give me another satisfaction when I listen to it with you and react to it , because you always have the gift to explain absolutely everything that happens on the ''stage''. From the scenery, the appearances of the artists, the chords, the rhythm, etc...because your director and actor's eye, but also your fine hearing, don't miss anything and, in addition, everything is filtered by your sensitivity. I also like the fact that you go back to certain segments of the song...I am sincerely glad for you will go to their concert, because the difference of listening to a recorded concert can never be compared to a live audition. And let's not forget the atmosphere in a concert hall, which does not compare with the state in an armchair at home, no matter how comfortable it would be, and the live experience of the concert. I went to concerts and I know the feeling and the vibration that is there , and maybe you will have the opportunity to meet them personally. I'm sorry I can't be there for the concert because in addition to the immense leasure of seeing Pentatonix live, I would definitely look for you and I would like to greet you, hug you and shake your hand, dearly- all live!... About Pentatonix what I could say, I commented on the other reactions with this group, they are extraordinary ,an entire orchestra merged in five people, beautiful voices and shows with personal accent. They are wonderful, and their beauty and exuberance can see at the end of the song, in that little clip at the end. I would love if you could still react to Pentatonix, because they have so many beautiful pieces, and for us ,who love Pentatonix and your reactions, it would be like a Christmas present , because I see how beautiful ''pack your gifts''!!!...YOU ARE AMAZING , THANK YOU !
@@lukashasselNY ,Dear Lukas,thank you for your kind thought. Yes ,I would very happy, if that happened, but YOU also come ( to the concert ) in Europe, to see you too???....My surprise and joy would be double.***In other words, in Austria the series ''Elementary'' is running, a long-running series( I undrestand that it was 6-7 seasons, a rival of the series ''Black List'' ?!),where I know you played too. Unfortunately ,I found out about the series late and managed to watch only few episodes. It's a good series, I like it, but today I'm going home,to my country,on vacation, so I won't see again. I only saw a few sequences on RUclips,and I liked them....do you also speak Danish in the series, because at one point I heard to you speak a language other English ?....Lucky are the ones in America, who can follow you much easier and more often ... Thank you again for your tought ,and I hope so, because ''hope dies last ''!!!
Aww man, a little bummed. I am also going to see them for the first time ever, even though I've been a fan for many years. But being in Newark DELAWARE, not NJ, I had a choice of your show, Hershey PA, or Baltimore and I chose Baltimore next Saturday. It would have been a truly memorable night if I could have somehow spotted and met you in NJ instead. Ah well.. Enjoy, and happy holidays to you!!
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Out three weeks ago today and already has over THREE MILLION views!!! So jealous you get to see them live! They will be appearing less than two hundred miles from me and I can’t get there. Grrrrr. We definitely need more baritone Scott.....Italian or not! Love your reactions, thank you. More PTX Christmas, please!
Glad to see you again, this was a wonderful reaction! I'm happy for you that you can see them in december, I have tickets for the tour in Europe next year and truly hope the concerts will take place.. Please do more PTX again or Mitch's solo stuff as "Messer"
Always a joy to listen to your reactions. Especially as you are already familiar with the Celine/Andrea original version of this song, which makes such a difference when offering an informed commentary. Also love that you are a fan of the "pagan" parts of Christmas. Never thought of describing my feelings that way, but it is unabashedly accurate. Gotta love the heightened energy of the season, too. Wishing you a wonderful experience at the PTX concert, and all the delights of a pagan celebration this year!
No matter how many times I watch their official video of The Prayer, I always think Stunning and Speechless! Their best work yet IMHO and certainly Grammy worthy! PS. I still can't believe your character shot and killed Elizabeth Keene (in the back, no less)! 😅 PPS There is a behind the scenes video showing the set being built, etc.
That is so exciting! I'm glad you are going to one of their Christmas concerts. I'll be seeing them in Pittsburgh. I hear they are doing "The Prayer" in their concert.
Thrilled to see you back!! And with such a masterpiece! Hopefully you’ve been too busy working to do reactions. I’ll be at the show in Minneapolis, looking forward to hearing about your experience after the show.
OMG! I was so excited to see your reaction pop up on my notifications. I couldn't click on it fast enough. I've been waiting to see your reaction to this magnificent rendition of such a beautiful song. I don't have a whole lot of reactors who are my favorites, but you are one of them! I love all of the minute details you point out that make the video even more interesting and beautiful. I'm so glad you reacted to this, it is by far one of my favorite upgrades by Pentatonix. I remember when I saw your very first reaction ever, about 18 months ago, and it was Pentatonix' cover of "Hallelujah". I was fascinated by your comments and knowledge of video production and loved the reaction. In the video you said you had seen an advertisement for them at Madison Square Garden. I loved watching you you get Mitch slapped when you heard him sing for the first time. You also said you would go see them next time they were in town, and now you get to witness them in person. I am vey jealous, as I am not near anywhere they are performing, but I know you will enjoy them all over again. To see them perform live is so amazing. I've watched you fall in love with them and it's been wonderful to see. Thank you so much for you wonderful, clear, knowledgeable and thoughtful past reactions and look forward to the ones in the future. They do not have a video out for "I Saw Three Ships" from their new Evergreen album, but please try to listen to it, because like always they take the classic Christmas songs and make one love them all over again! Happy Christmas!
Takes my breath away. The most astonishing sounds that come from their voices leave me fighting back tears. Enjoy your concert. It should be, undoubtably, amazing. Happy Holidays from the PA Dutch country. I always look forward to your reactions.😉
Starting with The Sing Off up until now there is ten years of musical arranging by PTX and Ben Bram. Is there anyone that arranges better than them over that time period? What they do is just astounding.
Your reactions are always fun, in-depth and heart felt, especially when it comes to PTX. You need to react to my favorite member, Kevin KO Olusola, that man is a beast! He speaks 5 languages, one of them fluent in Chinese Mandarin. He's Classically trained from the age of 5 in Piano, Sax and Cello. He has preformed as a soloist at Carnegie Hall twice, 1st time with the Sax, 17yrs old and 2nd time on the Cello 18yrs old. He finished Pre-Med by the time he joined PTX in 2011 at the age of 21. He is a musical and academic prodigy!! Here are some of the live studio songs he creates in his home studio, singing, playing and using a loop machine, producing the entire song instantly on his own. Here's the link to Kevin's cover of "Down" by Marian Hill ruclips.net/video/IGjg193h4Ok/видео.html And my other fav is Kevin's remake of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles ruclips.net/video/hBFlhLEU7uU/видео.html You will blow your mind watching these. trust me and enjoy. I know I'll enjoy seeing you react to them. Thank You and keep up your great channel, plus let us know of any new film or tv projects you have coming up that we can catch.
Love your reaction, as usual! I hope one day you will do a reaction to a Hans Zimmer song: Lost on you by Scott Hoying and Mario Hose. I think you will appreciate the song and the passion...
Oh - so close but so far away! If I make it to a concert it would be the Baltimore one - I'm in Delaware. I'd love to say hi. Anyway, enjoy the concert, I hope you can make a video on what you thought of it! Are you going VIP?
I've been waiting for you to review this! I love your low key style. Some reviewers are over the top frenetic, although always fun to watch their jaws drop. But like you said in earlier reviews, you hear Pentatonix and it's like an instant peace and calm come over you. Ok, that's paraphrased *smile*, but it was what I took from what you were saying. Enjoy the concert! I wish they were coming somewhere near me.
Love. You need better crap too play it through?????? The 😢. If your going too play Pentatonix, you need top gear or you will lose people. This is your first loosing people?????????
Great reaction Lukas, I absolutely love the song, but especially the last 20 seconds with that chorus along with Mitch's high notes. Keep up the good work.
I was supposed to go to the one in upstate NY but emergency took the funds. I can't wait to hear how wonderful they are in person from you!!! This is definitely a Grammy worthy performance. Absolutely stunning.
Celine actually rehearsed this for I believe the Grammy's or Oscars with Josh Groban when he was 16 years old because Andrea had something which prevented him from making it to the rehearsal. David Foster recommended him. He later recorded it with Charlotte Church. Following that he was cast on Ally McBeal and appeared on Oprah and his career skyrocketed from that point. I love Josh, I know all things Josh lol.
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I listened to live streams by Scott and Kevin the day before the song released and they both said that this was probably the most difficult, challenging arrangement they've ever done. Wow. And it shows - I do love those harmonies!
Hi Lucas. I’m jealous of everyone who can catch the tour. My brother is going thru chemo so no crowds for a while . It’s good to see your beautiful smile and I’m so happy you shared this reaction with us. ✌️💚
Glad to see you dipping back into PTX, this one is stunning both vocally and visually. Always appreciate the thoughtful observations and joy you bring to your PTX reactions. Enjoy the show. Not really Christmassy but you might enjoy their cover of White Winter Hymnal. It’s really old, they’re just babies but I find it charming. ruclips.net/video/o10drRI3VQ0/видео.html. Even though the lyrics are somewhat dark if you really listen (about the French Revolution I believe), the performance is sweet. There’s a blooper reel floating around showing them learning the choreo, it’s hilarious.
You know what ? I love love love when Pentatonix make(s) someone ( like you Lucas ) so happy, content, vibrant ... real bliss ... je continue en français ... (Google Translate). La joie que nous donne PTX vaut des millions .... de coeurs, amour. Dans les moments que nous vivons, PTX nous accorde un moment de beauté pure et exquise.
So happy you will see them in concert. I saw them with Avi in Michigan on his last tour with the group, and my goodness, they sounded terrific in concert, like NO difference from their studio recordings. You are in for a treat, Lukas! (I'm jealous)
Love your reaction....thank you!!👍👏💚

You were correct, this was an indoor set. There's an interesting little behind the scenes youtube video showing how they put it together.
I'll also be at the Newark show, I'm surprising my mom and taking her and got the VIP package, very excited!!!
Love Mitch! His cover of "Your Power" is hauntingly beautiful! Thanks for the PTX reaction ~
At the end you can hear Kevin's beatboxing and Matt's bass. Fantastic
Please react to Dimash's Ave Maria from the New Wave 2021! It will blow you away!!! It's a Vocalise version composed for Dimash by Igor Krutoy after Dimash asked him to compose it for him! Love having you back! and Pentatonix is sublime!
If this is not played at my funeral, I'm not going.
Had a blast at Pentatonix concert, and so happy to meet so many of you. Thanks for introducing yourselves to me! We shared amazing music snd moments tnite!
They have my Award
I know you will enjoy yourself....I know I would....with that being said....I honestly think we might be looking at Grammy #4.....what do you all think???
Glad to see you again. ❤️🌺
Did anyone ever tell you..you look like the actor Daniel Day Lewis??..loved your resction..PTX..stunning as usual..
You didn't notice that they were singing in English after they all came together. Everyone else sings that section in Italian. I've heard "The Prayer" by many artists and listening to Pentatonix is the first time I ever understood these words, since I don't speak Italian.
There are also videos on RUclips of Adam Lambert performing it twice, with 2 different partners, in English & Hebrew.
Beautiful thank you Lukas for taking the time to share.
So happy to see you react to PTX again. This is the greatest vocal performance from them to date! I'll also be at the Dec 7th show at "The Rock" in Newark and can't wait to hear this live.

You’re the first one I’ve heard/watched who mentioned the sun. The timing was perfect in relation to the audio. I really enjoyed this. Thanks.
Great harmony!
I’ve watched countless reaction videos for this song and in each and every one of them the reactor’s face lights up after the first 20 seconds. It’s just magnificent.
One of my favourite reactors! Hello nice to see you 😀 thanks for the reaction
Thank you so much for a fantastic reaction. I enjoyed watching your reaction and listening to your comments so much. I think this is their best performance ever! I am so jealous that you get to see them in person. I hope you enjoy it and have a fantastic time.

Glad to see you back into PTX! You will love the rest of the album! Enjoyed your smile through the whole song. Happy Holidays ❤

Hi Lucas - new subscriber. :) I'm looking forward to hearing your other reactions. Have fun at the concert!
I think we have been....

Scott Shocked
Kirstie Clapped

Staggering is an apt description.
Recommend their Rather Be, Come Along, Amazing Grace, and I Just Called To Say I Love You.
I will be at the Newark concert! I can’t wait to meet you.
Glad to see you again, this was a wonderful reaction! I'm happy for you that you can see them in december, I have tickets for the tour in Europe next year and truly hope the concerts will take place.. Please do more PTX again or Mitch's solo stuff as "Messer"

Lucky you. Please report back how the concert was for those of us who can’t go this time. 😍
Yes, please let us all know what it was like. Wish I could go...
Great to see you back with ptx been a while and with a great video by them to thank you 🙂
Enjoyed your reaction. You’ll get to see them before me. I see them in Sugarland, TX on December 21st!
No matter how many times I watch their official video of The Prayer, I always think Stunning and Speechless! Their best work yet IMHO and certainly Grammy worthy!

Love, love, love the PTX version of the Prayer. May I also suggest the newest Home Free song, "Brothers in Arms."
That is so exciting! I'm glad you are going to one of their Christmas concerts. I'll be seeing them in Pittsburgh. I hear they are doing "The Prayer" in their concert.
Thrilled to see you back!! And with such a masterpiece! Hopefully you’ve been too busy working to do reactions. I’ll be at the show in Minneapolis, looking forward to hearing about your experience after the show.
This song with Mitch's beautiful voice brings tears to my eyes and a lump to my throat!!!

Takes my breath away. The most astonishing sounds that come from their voices leave me fighting back tears. Enjoy your concert. It should be, undoubtably, amazing. Happy Holidays from the PA Dutch country. I always look forward to your reactions.😉
Happy to hear a Mitch-heavy number. I react as you do; astounded at Mitch’s voice - clear, gentle yet extraordinarily well controlled.
Yay! Ive been waiting for your reaction video to PTX 😇😇
I hope you will do some kind of video blog of your concert experience!!!!
Just listen to their tik tok compilation its amazing they are sitting in a stairwell and singing parts of their hits raw tlent st its best
I will be in Baltimore just after Thanksgiving. If they weren't in Baltimore, Newark NJ would have been my next nearest choice.
Starting with The Sing Off up until now there is ten years of musical arranging by PTX and Ben Bram. Is there anyone that arranges better than them over that time period? What they do is just astounding.
Nice to see this, good to see you :-)
For a REAL shock, listen to "Joyful, Joyful" ! I think you'll be impressed! I know I was!
Your reactions are always fun, in-depth and heart felt, especially when it comes to PTX. You need to react to my favorite member, Kevin KO Olusola, that man is a beast!
He speaks 5 languages, one of them fluent in Chinese Mandarin. He's Classically trained from the age of 5 in Piano, Sax and Cello. He has preformed as a soloist at Carnegie Hall twice, 1st time with the Sax, 17yrs old and 2nd time on the Cello 18yrs old. He finished Pre-Med by the time he joined PTX in 2011 at the age of 21. He is a musical and academic prodigy!!
Here are some of the live studio songs he creates in his home studio, singing, playing and using a loop machine, producing the entire song instantly on his own. Here's the link to Kevin's cover of "Down" by Marian Hill ruclips.net/video/IGjg193h4Ok/видео.html
And my other fav is Kevin's remake of "Sign of the Times" by Harry Styles ruclips.net/video/hBFlhLEU7uU/видео.html You will blow your mind watching these. trust me and enjoy. I know I'll enjoy seeing you react to them.
Thank You and keep up your great channel, plus let us know of any new film or tv projects you have coming up that we can catch.
Thx!
Love your reaction, as usual! I hope one day you will do a reaction to a Hans Zimmer song: Lost on you by Scott Hoying and Mario Hose. I think you will appreciate the song and the passion...
Lukas! You are going to see them! I’m sure you will have a great time. Enjoy! 🤗
Oh - so close but so far away! If I make it to a concert it would be the Baltimore one - I'm in Delaware. I'd love to say hi. Anyway, enjoy the concert, I hope you can make a video on what you thought of it! Are you going VIP?
I've been waiting for you to review this! I love your low key style. Some reviewers are over the top frenetic, although always fun to watch their jaws drop. But like you said in earlier reviews, you hear Pentatonix and it's like an instant peace and calm come over you. Ok, that's paraphrased *smile*, but it was what I took from what you were saying. Enjoy the concert! I wish they were coming somewhere near me.
Good to see you back, Lukas. Missed you😞❣️
Have missed watching your reactions. Love the pleasure in your face as you enjoy. Have great night at the concert!!
New Subscriber!! New Yorker here! Forget bridge and tunnel! See ya in Jersey!And I'm a Christmas Eve baby...Love Everything Christmas!
Love. You need better crap too play it through?????? The 😢. If your going too play Pentatonix, you need top gear or you will lose people. This is your first loosing people?????????
Welcome back to Pentatonix. You've been gone for a long time.
So excited for this!! I love your reactions to PTX💚
Delighted I found you. I subbed due to this song, but I look forward to exploring what you have already done.
Great!
Great reaction Lukas, I absolutely love the song, but especially the last 20 seconds with that chorus along with Mitch's high notes. Keep up the good work.
I was supposed to go to the one in upstate NY but emergency took the funds. I can't wait to hear how wonderful they are in person from you!!! This is definitely a Grammy worthy performance. Absolutely stunning.
Celine actually rehearsed this for I believe the Grammy's or Oscars with Josh Groban when he was 16 years old because Andrea had something which prevented him from making it to the rehearsal. David Foster recommended him. He later recorded it with Charlotte Church. Following that he was cast on Ally McBeal and appeared on Oprah and his career skyrocketed from that point. I love Josh, I know all things Josh lol.
Oh!! I am so jealous!!! I know you will have a great time!🙂🙂
I have tickets for Grand Prairie, TX. Can't wait!
Awesome reaction. I will also be at the concert in Newark. I can’t wait!!! Maybe I’ll see you there but I’m sure it’s going to be insanely crowded!
Nice that you pick up on some beautiful subtleties in their delivery. Thank-you for your reaction, and I wish you a great time seeing them live!
So jealous. But please do enjoy the show.
Enjoy your live concert with our PTX! If I were to attend it would be double pleasure to see them and you. Hoping for mistletoe! 🇨🇦❤️
This was wonderful. Heart touching. It touched the soul deeply! Thank you Lukas Hassel for your amazing reaction!!! 🙏🌷
Mr Hassrl welcome back to PTX .
Thoroughly enjoyed your reaction. I listened to live streams by Scott and Kevin the day before the song released and they both said that this was probably the most difficult, challenging arrangement they've ever done. Wow. And it shows - I do love those harmonies!
Please react Gabriel Henrique - Run to you (cover Whitney) / I want to know what love is (cover Mariah Carey)
I appreciate your commentaries, and how you respond to your viewers in comments, so I subscribed. Excited to hear more in the future.
OMG! hope to see you at the newark show!! 😄
Hi Lucas. I’m jealous of everyone who can catch the tour. My brother is going thru chemo so no crowds for a while . It’s good to see your beautiful smile and I’m so happy you shared this reaction with us. ✌️💚
All the best for your brother 🍀
Glad to see you dipping back into PTX, this one is stunning both vocally and visually. Always appreciate the thoughtful observations and joy you bring to your PTX reactions. Enjoy the show.
Not really Christmassy but you might enjoy their cover of White Winter Hymnal. It’s really old, they’re just babies but I find it charming. ruclips.net/video/o10drRI3VQ0/видео.html. Even though the lyrics are somewhat dark if you really listen (about the French Revolution I believe), the performance is sweet. There’s a blooper reel floating around showing them learning the choreo, it’s hilarious.
Really enjoyed seeing your very expressive face reflecting all my own reactions! Envious that you’ll be seeing their Christmas tour. Enjoy.
You know what ? I love love love when Pentatonix make(s) someone ( like you Lucas ) so happy, content, vibrant ... real bliss ...
je continue en français ... (Google Translate). La joie que nous donne PTX vaut des millions .... de coeurs, amour. Dans les moments que nous vivons, PTX nous accorde un moment de beauté pure et exquise.
I knew you'd love it Lukas. Good reaction my friend.
Long time no see.. love your reaction as usual.. Great video. I think Mitch reached an all time high in this one.
So happy you will see them in concert. I saw them with Avi in Michigan on his last tour with the group, and my goodness, they sounded terrific in concert, like NO difference from their studio recordings. You are in for a treat, Lukas! (I'm jealous)
Great reaction. Just caught the "new" season of Blacklist on Netflix...great job on that!
Thx a lot.
Mitch is so high because he is a counter tenor - the highest tenor. That is why he sings so effortlessly.
I be love your Pentatonix videos.
I'm seeing them Dec.4 in CT. Merry Christmas to me!!!
