Dear Scott, Mitch, Kirstin, Avi and Kevin, The chances of you seeing this comment is slim. But I needed to post it. My friend Claire.... you met her this year in Brisbane. A lovely 24 year old who adored your music to her core. She passed away two weeks ago after a long battle. I've not been able process it yet, but just then, as I watched this, I felt an amazing sense of joy that Claire is no longer in pain. Your music touched her and helped her on her journey. I only wish she'd have had more time to hear this one ❤Whilst I was always a massive fan of yours, for also helping me on my health journey, today it connected with me on such a deep level that I'll never ever forget. If you ever have a moment of self doubt please remember this. You are inspiring others in ways you may not even realise. Love Bridget
Beautiful....may your dear friend R.I.P. 🙏🏻 and while a difficult time of year to lose someone so close, I truly hope you can rejoice in her memory. Merriest of Christmases to you and yours! 🎄 Sincerely, a random stranger...😇
They are incredibly good , they nailed it. Xmas without songs like this is not complete. GOD blesd you guys , and may he continue to enrich your voice and everything about your lives all round in jesus name Amen👏👌👊
@@AaronKaranjaNot surprised. I love everyone in the group and think they’re all phenomenal. But I personally think that Mitch is the best singer of the group
kevin is just so fascinating to watch am I right? like the way he dances as he beatboxes it always pulls my attention toward him. he seems so passionate and I really appreciate that. not that the rest of them dont seem passionate because of course they do! just it seems my gaze always goes to Kevin (:
Capt. G Same and its so sad that a lot of people dont care about his talent i mean the otbers have great talent dont get me wrong but Kevin is so fascinating :)
Capt. G Exactly the same. My stare goes straight to him. It does look very passionate and that makes me like him a lot. When the others are singing I feel they don't look as passionate for some reason.
@@jessevelasquez4207 how could their sexual differences make ANY damn difference in the glorious sound of their voices blending together? Who CARES what their personal preferences are? When they can sound as great as these 5 do, they could be dancing bears on roller skates for all I care? Guess you're just one more bigot, huh? I pity you.
WARNING: Detailed video breakdown and explanation below. Thumb up so others can read for themselves! Allow me to preface this by saying that I am a true, hardcore Pentatonix fan. I have been following them closely since 2011, and I own every single song that's been released on iTunes. I also sing/perform as a vocal bass, and have for many years, so you can imagine that I've probably memorized every solo and bass part that Avi has. I record at home in my own studio and produce, mix, and master all of my vocal samples. I might also mention that I've listened to their studio rendition of Hallelujah countless times. As a hardcore fan, I owe it to pretty much every other fan and, of course, PTX themselves to dig in and defend them when their credibility is under attack. However, as a musician and a perfectionist, I also think it's imperative to call it when I see that something is amiss. Seriously, I could probably out-fangirl most of the people that are going to be pissed off at me (and in blatant denial) after reading this. I have listened (with studio monitors) to this performance about six times now. This next part is going to hurt some feelings. The hive-mind PTX fandom tumblr lurkers are probably going to roast me alive below. Oh well. *1.* Beyond a shadow of a doubt, parts of this performance are lip-synced to a pre-recording. I'm assuming that this was not by choice of the group. You have to realize that big-time producers of prime time television squeeze their margins of error so tightly for things like this, that they probably didn't give PTX a choice in the matter. Parts of it were cherry picked, and their mic gains were adjusted accordingly. Kudos to the guy running the sound. I'm sure he's paid accordingly. *2*. I KNOW what Avi sounds like when he performs live, I've heard him perform in person, and I know for a fact that he did not *flawlessly* copy and perform his solo from the studio recording. It's just not humanly possible. (although, if anyone could do it, it would either be him or Mitch) The timbre, the vocal inflections, the subtle nuances from that ONE take in the studio - It's all there. It's either a direct rip from the studio recording, or it's slightly remastered in an attempt to match the acoustics of this performance hall. Avi did *not* sing his solo live in this video. Sorry guys. They've had some absolutely outstanding live performances lately, but this was not all live. *3.* Scott tripped up a little bit on his entrance at 0:58. Watch his mouth closely. You heard "Da-da-duum" as Avi was about to sing, but you didn't see it from Scott. (and Kevin just doesn't have the range to hit a G2 without serious frying. He's a tenor, through and through.) Lip-sync! Granted, every note I hear afterwards is most definitely Scott, whether it be live or pre-recorded. He has a particular tone when he sings at the bottom of his range, as everyone does. Here's what was real: *1.* Scott's opening verse. That was legit. (They also wouldn't dare lip syncing someone whose face is zoomed in to the max from the beginning. Accidents can happen, as shown at 0:58) The melisma, the "riff ticks", everything. He has a knack for nailing it when it counts. *2.* I do not doubt that Scott sang the bass part during Avi's solo. I am fully aware of his range, and that he sings a D2 in "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You" He is probably capable of frying a low Db or C. *3.* The climax following 3:30 was, for the most part, totally live. Avi was a god here. *4.* Mitch's solo. At least until "It's a cold and it's a broken..." It's Mitch. 'Nuff said. I am a hardcore PTX fan, and I always will be. However, that does NOT reserve the right for me to make excuses for my favorite band when I know otherwise. In an instance like this, I just have to get over it, take a step back and think "wait a minute..." Then the reality hits, and I think "Oh. Primetime National T.V... If it was their choice, they'd do it totally live." Guys, you just have to remember that by participating, they're getting a lot of air time and exposure that a LOT of people will see. The producers of the program pretty much have the final say in what transpires and how things go at these events. That is all. Remember to be civil. We all love PTX, and we have way too many reasons to be happy and just move on. Keep calm, and sing on :)
Effectious well said I'm a huge fan and I'm pretty sure some was recorded but I know they can sing perfectly live so I don't mind, I'm just so glad they have there own special so proud haha 👌👌👌
it _is_ lipsync. I had my doubts, but I've heard them live, and even with her ability there's no way that Kirstie can pull off that high note the way she does here. it sounds almost identical to the video version. Mitch's high note at 3:10 IS the video track. there's a small fade between actual audio and recording, very subtle, but I have an ear for those. if you have the tech, overlay the video track, inverted, on top of this one, and cancel it out. you'll see the difference.
Effectious i just want to say that i really appreciated this!! i had my suspicions watching, and throughout my second and third watch i looked at everything you pointed out. sorry if people are rude to you, but i'm glad someone with knowledge was honest.
Oh good I was not the only one who thought they were lips syncing... when I watched I felt that something was weird because they mouths and the song were not right (Barely though) also at some points, in multiple situations I saw some over exaggeration done with some hard parts which just did not match the tone the song was giving off in the video
Anyone else notice how Scott took over the bass notes for Avi when Avi had his solo, and totally killed it? No, just me? Okay cool. They're so flipping incredible
I hated how everyone screamed when each person started singing except for avi and it kills me because I think avi did the best out of all of them . His voice is so deep and so soft like it make me get goosebumps 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lyrics: I heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor You know, I used to live alone before I knew you And I've seen your flag on the marble arch And Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Well, there was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? But remember, when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Maybe there's a God above But, all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you? And it's not a cry, that you hear at night It's not somebody, who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hound Life Vlogs I just watched your Christmas video 🎄 beautiful. You seem nice and what a different experience celebrating Christmas in peak summer! Anyway, Merry Christmas and I subbed ❤🎄❤🎄😊
@@radish1972 I can't seem to hear any, maybe some reverb and other effects to make it sound more full and powerful but I've seen them perform off-mic and they seem to sound exactly the same
Pay close attention to Kevin, listen to him, he's doing something incredibly special in this arrangement, especially during Mitch's solo. He's so underrated and slept on as a singer.
I always feel my boy Kevin doesn’t get enough recognition in comparison to the other members. His skill and artistry is the foundation of every song and throughout the years he has constructed some crazy percussion around songs most beatboxers have no clue how to handle. He has a wonderful gift to both blend in or fade back at just the right time while at the same time taking the crescendos to a level, in volume, complexity, and intensity, astounding for a single percussionist all the while constructing them using only his body!!!
So I didn’t know his name was Kevin till I saw your post; he is phenomenal.and each of these guys have their own skillset. Bioody brilliant, ! As we say in Scotland X
@@lorifriel2302 his name is Kevin "KO" Olusola and he's the literal backbone of PTX and I freak out every time they're live because he does it all, at once, without messing up.
To all the people who think they're lip syncing you are completely wrong Scott changed his part with a bit of vibrato in a couple of places and his voice goes raspy at 03:22 I have seen them live and seen Scott cover the bass on Standing By which Avi sings the lead on. They are amazing better than any other singers I have ever heard sheer vocal beauty.
THANK YOU! Honestly, I don't understand why people think they're lipsyncing. It sounds almost exactly like the studio version, but you can hear a few differences.
100% sure lip synced. Its just impossible to provide this quality of sound and definition in a live concert. Maybe they sung live, but for the video they remastered it with a studio version of the song. :) however, still a good performance + song!
It's sort-of give and take. There are moments when they're undoubtedly live, like when they switch from person to person that has their own specific verse. Scott, Avi, Kirstie, and Mitch each sang live (at least for their start). The chorus and in-betweens I believe were lip synced along with most of the A Capella beat. The end/climax is also live. I'd say it's equal parts live as it is lip synced.
This is the most beautiful musical group I have ever heard. One day I hope to attend one of their concerts. When listening to their music I envision myself being able to sing like this to my Jesus. This music helps me express myself to the Lord. I love you Lord and thank you for this group, I pray your protection over them.
He also plays strings, speaks several languages, went to Yale, and was going to go into medicine....... He will go back to medicine ... one of these days...... LOL Yes, he is very intelligent and talented.
But he's just the beatboxer mitch,kristin,and Scott do the main song,and im not saying they're more important because when they sing together it's so beautiful and uplifting.
I feel like certain works of art transcend humanity... like this, both this performance and this song are so out of this world it doesn't feel real. It's so much more than just entertaining. It captures your soul with raw emotion.
Pvzzz I agree I listen to The Prayer and Hallelujah and a few other ones everyday. Like you said gives us such an amazing feeling that makes us literally tingle. It reminds us there's a loving God out there, and his son died on the cross to save us. I believe God uses imperfect people like the apostles to spread his perfect message. .
*To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us 💗*
THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN SONG!!! I love it but it makes no sense biblically. It didn’t happen the way Marc Cohen wrote it! He got mixed up with his characters!
Daisy Moraes he left because the not being able to see his family as much as he wanted to was putting stress on him and it got to hard on him. I'm going to miss him
Listening to Pentatonix is like listening to a choir of Angels. Bringing joy and comfort to all who listen. They truly are that good. God bless them always. ☺️
The thing that amazed me the most about this video was actually the crowd. They just stood there with the 'candles' and enjoyed the music. No one thad their phone out, which is so rare nowadays.
The guy beat boxing is absolutely amazing! Easily one of the most talented artists I've ever seen. Everyone else was definitely stunning. But that mans artistry was OUTSTANDING!
Everytime tears out of my eyes for Holy God Jesus Christ swirls of Holy Spirit all around us now ... Can you imagine how Heaven will feel like this everyday
I'm pretty sure it's Scott they wouldn't record it like that knowing that they can't sing it like that live so if you look up a live version at a concert of them singing this Scott is obviously doing the bass notes
Yes often the others are more recognized, even though as "under dogs" of the group since scott sometime is seen as the lead singer and obvious. But actually that way kinda makes Scott a underdog and might make him being less acclaimed. Also in "Come along" and "waving through a window" you can hear is great vocal range.
@@samoyedpups4673 Well to us God and Jesus are one in the same. Yes to me when I say Jesus is with them in turn I am saying your God is with them. Lifes too short brother. God bless
That moment when Avi's solo comes up, and you're listening to him kill it, but then you notice the bass and think, "Damn, Avi is killin' that bass line!" And it suddenly clicks.... Holy Shit, it's freakin Scott!!!! Ugh, why are they all so crazy talented like that!
This was my wife's favorite song. I love the tune, though the lyrics seem kind of dark toward the end. When she died last year, I composed another verse in her memory. I'm no musician, but this expresses how much I miss her: I've heard it said that love is blind That pain and heartaches all you'll find And baby, it was true until I met ya You lifted me from dark despair And showed me what it means to care And now my heart is singing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelu----jah This one's for you, love. I miss you!
THE FACT THAT THIS IS ACTUAL LIVE SINGING WITHOUT ANY LIP SINGING YET IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION MAKES ME REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT OH MY G O D
@carliza loves bangtan !! Hi Carliza, just a very friendly FYI, it's called lip-synching when people synchronize their lips movement to a song but don't actually sing. It's what Milli Vanilli got in trouble for in the early 1990's because someone else was singing/recording their songs but making the public believe it was them by lip-synching pseudo-live performances. It was a huge scandal. LOL! Anyway, I must agree with you... Pentatonix is EXTREMELY TALENTED and real!!! I'm so glad I found them. I will be looking for more. :-) :-) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Absolutely brilliant! :-)
That guy it is (in my opinion). I know a lot of people don't fully understand the lyrics, but I remember reading Hozier's interview about what his meaning behind it was and how I felt the lyrics were interpreted to myself. Being that he doesn't mean to "forbid" institutions, it's more of the ideal behind them and likeness of other organizations that can make you lose yourself due to it being "bad". But that song wouldn't be a "politically correct" song for Pentatonix to cover as it is directed towards who you really are or what you enjoy can be shameful or a sin (sex, sexuality, etc). So, my earlier comment about a satire and not going to church, it's like you could do as a dog is told, but you'll be judged and they have tons of their own lies. This was longer than intended... LOL
Scotts bass part at 1:00 is so good. Baritons may not be extreme in highs or lows like tenors/sopranos and basses but their versatility is just insane.
The second man singing is absolutely gorgeous and an absolutely beautiful voice. The Beat boxer is amazing and such a great bass sound. They all are amazing. 🥰😍
@@davidturk6170 I really miss Avi. Don’t get me wrong. I think Matt is awesome and was a perfect replacement. But the group just didn’t feel the same after Avi left
Check out his solo work! Avi Kaplan “change on the rise”. Mostly folk/bluegrass/roots, but he has a few in the Americana soul genre. Writes his own music too. He’s amazing!!
Holy fuck, when the second vocalist began, the way he connected with the lyric, I got goosebumps on my arms and my legs. I can't think of the last time that happened. That's just, damn. I didn't realise I could get them on my legs as well as my arms. Jesus that second vocalist expresses such a strong connection to the lyric .
He is gender fluid and goes by both he/she and him/her. Mitch frequently wears women's clothing, but can also rock the masculine look. I guess it depends on what he/she is feeling that day.
This is talent, unlike most singers who can't really even sing, just auto tune, and then when they play live they're trash. These guys are great though
tsmithkc what you're hearing is the sound of their voices through speakers....maybe a little echo added on occasion. this is what they sound like in person I assure you.
actually I think this is playback..... you can really see it when Kristin and Mitch do their solos.... But I've seen them live and their voices are trully amazing!
earthly truth and they are more talented then most talented people that actually can sing live because they can do different things that most talented people can't do with their voices

@@kareneskow4901 personal reasons mainly because him being constantly on tour with Pentatonix resulted in him being unable to see his family and friends
@@kareneskow4901 mostly to spend more time with his family. Cause at the time he left they had just finished tour, and were planning another one (i think), so he wouldn’t be able to see his family

When I watched this performance for the first time and realized it is Scott doing the bass part when avi sings I couldn't believe it, I replayed it so much and I fell in love
ohh my god, i literally cannot go one single old pentatonix video without someone from recently talking about this. It's been two years. Matt has different dynamics, and i know we all care about Avi but can we go at least one video without this?
@@twixstari i dont personally have anything against Matt. Obviously they would not have brought him into the group if he wasn't insanely good & didnt bring his own dynamic to the group. I love listening to his songs as well! However, when I first started listening to Pentatonix Avi's voice was the one that caught my attention on a personal level. Its not a bad thing to miss someone who was in the group. Life changes, groups morph & life goes on! I do miss hearing Avi sing though, which is why I subscribe to his Facebook page. That doesn't mean I dont still absolutely love this group!
Holy moly... That transition between Avi and Scott is brutally seamless. I really tried to find the switch and it's kind of impossible. Almost as impossible as the sheer power in Avi's voice on the last part. There's probably more talent in these 5 than in the rest of the popular pop artists combined.
Dear Scott, Mitch, Kirstin, Avi and Kevin,

No. The poor soldiers who present them colors arms will die. Speaking from experience

They should sing *this song* at the Super Bowl. There's no need for them to perform as a recruitment tool.
Even in 2024, this song still has the same impact on me.
WARNING: Detailed video breakdown and explanation below.
Thumb up so others can read for themselves!
Allow me to preface this by saying that I am a true, hardcore Pentatonix fan. I have been following them closely since 2011, and I own every single song that's been released on iTunes.
I also sing/perform as a vocal bass, and have for many years, so you can imagine that I've probably memorized every solo and bass part that Avi has. I record at home in my own studio and produce, mix, and master all of my vocal samples. I might also mention that I've listened to their studio rendition of Hallelujah countless times.
As a hardcore fan, I owe it to pretty much every other fan and, of course, PTX themselves to dig in and defend them when their credibility is under attack.
However, as a musician and a perfectionist, I also think it's imperative to call it when I see that something is amiss.
Seriously, I could probably out-fangirl most of the people that are going to be pissed off at me (and in blatant denial) after reading this.
I have listened (with studio monitors) to this performance about six times now.
This next part is going to hurt some feelings. The hive-mind PTX fandom tumblr lurkers are probably going to roast me alive below. Oh well.
*1.* Beyond a shadow of a doubt, parts of this performance are lip-synced to a pre-recording.
I'm assuming that this was not by choice of the group. You have to realize that big-time producers of prime time television squeeze their margins of error so tightly for things like this, that they probably didn't give PTX a choice in the matter.
Parts of it were cherry picked, and their mic gains were adjusted accordingly. Kudos to the guy running the sound. I'm sure he's paid accordingly.
*2*. I KNOW what Avi sounds like when he performs live, I've heard him perform in person, and I know for a fact that he did not *flawlessly* copy and perform his solo from the studio recording. It's just not humanly possible. (although, if anyone could do it, it would either be him or Mitch)
The timbre, the vocal inflections, the subtle nuances from that ONE take in the studio - It's all there.
It's either a direct rip from the studio recording, or it's slightly remastered in an attempt to match the acoustics of this performance hall.
Avi did *not* sing his solo live in this video. Sorry guys. They've had some absolutely outstanding live performances lately, but this was not all live.
*3.* Scott tripped up a little bit on his entrance at 0:58. Watch his mouth closely. You heard "Da-da-duum" as Avi was about to sing, but you didn't see it from Scott. (and Kevin just doesn't have the range to hit a G2 without serious frying. He's a tenor, through and through.)
Lip-sync!
Granted, every note I hear afterwards is most definitely Scott, whether it be live or pre-recorded. He has a particular tone when he sings at the bottom of his range, as everyone does.
Here's what was real:
*1.* Scott's opening verse. That was legit. (They also wouldn't dare lip syncing someone whose face is zoomed in to the max from the beginning. Accidents can happen, as shown at 0:58)
The melisma, the "riff ticks", everything. He has a knack for nailing it when it counts.
*2.* I do not doubt that Scott sang the bass part during Avi's solo.
I am fully aware of his range, and that he sings a D2 in "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You"
He is probably capable of frying a low Db or C.
*3.* The climax following 3:30 was, for the most part, totally live. Avi was a god here.
*4.* Mitch's solo. At least until "It's a cold and it's a broken..." It's Mitch. 'Nuff said.
I am a hardcore PTX fan, and I always will be.
However, that does NOT reserve the right for me to make excuses for my favorite band when I know otherwise.
In an instance like this, I just have to get over it, take a step back and think "wait a minute..."
Then the reality hits, and I think "Oh. Primetime National T.V... If it was their choice, they'd do it totally live."
Guys, you just have to remember that by participating, they're getting a lot of air time and exposure that a LOT of people will see. The producers of the program pretty much have the final say in what transpires and how things go at these events.
That is all.
Remember to be civil. We all love PTX, and we have way too many reasons to be happy and just move on.
Keep calm, and sing on :)
Effectious well said I'm a huge fan and I'm pretty sure some was recorded but I know they can sing perfectly live so I don't mind, I'm just so glad they have there own special so proud haha 👌👌👌
Exactly! I'm so proud of how far they've come. I can't hold something against them that wasn't their choice to begin with.
it _is_ lipsync.
I had my doubts, but I've heard them live, and even with her ability there's no way that Kirstie can pull off that high note the way she does here.
it sounds almost identical to the video version.
Mitch's high note at 3:10 IS the video track.
there's a small fade between actual audio and recording, very subtle, but I have an ear for those.
if you have the tech, overlay the video track, inverted, on top of this one, and cancel it out.
you'll see the difference.
Effectious i just want to say that i really appreciated this!! i had my suspicions watching, and throughout my second and third watch i looked at everything you pointed out. sorry if people are rude to you, but i'm glad someone with knowledge was honest.
Oh good I was not the only one who thought they were lips syncing... when I watched I felt that something was weird because they mouths and the song were not right (Barely though) also at some points, in multiple situations I saw some over exaggeration done with some hard parts which just did not match the tone the song was giving off in the video
Anyone else notice how Scott took over the bass notes for Avi when Avi had his solo, and totally killed it? No, just me? Okay cool. They're so flipping incredible
Hannah Peterson I noticed it too.
rugr82day Scott did *not* do the drum beats. It was Kevin itself who did vocal percussion :)
no, i saw it too, look up "i should tell your mama on you Scott Hoying"
Aditi, I realized that later but could never find my comment to go back and correct it.
daftpunk
I hated how everyone screamed when each person started singing except for avi and it kills me because I think avi did the best out of all of them . His voice is so deep and so soft like it make me get goosebumps 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Keke perfection who is avi
Frederik Weiß Avi is the one with the brown mustache and man bun. He sings bass in the group.
Keke perfection
There is no a "best"
in this group. they are so different
and all totally perfect
Keke perfection who is Avi is he the guy with the beird? because I luv him
yes
The last 5 seconds where the crowd is silent. The bass just hits different. Peaceful harmony
lol the absolutely flawless transition between Avi and Scott doing the bass line.
Avi will always be missed. He has such a presence and his voice just resonates and reverberates so well almost like a cello or double bass.
Did he leave the group ?? I thought they interchanged members or something !!
@@wesleycuban8649 no, he left because he wasn't able to spend enough time with his family due to all the touring.
@@leeny03cosens38 sad but understandable
@@leeny03cosens38 he says that, but posts his own songs on Insta
Yes , Avi is and always will be Awesome 👍
Remarkable performance. Next on the list: perform "Sound of Silence." :-)
Allen1350 omg yeah
DO IT

this needs to happen ASAP!
I never thought of this and please yes we need this
Lyrics:
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Goosebumps, anyone else feel it?

There are 5 completly different personalities and voices but they sound so perfect together
The best version of hallelujah I´ve ever heard so far.
what a great great group the best i every heard anyone sing tis song
Me too 😂😂
Its horrible.
Go listen to someone who knows what the songs actually about- the man who wrote it. ruclips.net/video/ttEMYvpoR-k/видео.html
@@chloepechlaner7806 lol that sux
Scott has such a full rich voice it's so beautiful to watch him sing with such strength and power.
What blows my mind is how it sounds like the studio recording in a live performance
Autotune my man
@@pietrogargiulli8451 No autotune here bro
Adam O Connor there is. It’s not a lot, but it’s here
@@radish1972 I can't seem to hear any, maybe some reverb and other effects to make it sound more full and powerful but I've seen them perform off-mic and they seem to sound exactly the same
Cool
Pay close attention to Kevin, listen to him, he's doing something incredibly special in this arrangement, especially during Mitch's solo. He's so underrated and slept on as a singer.
I love Kevin soooooooooooooooooooooo much .....
And appreciate him too
Yes, you are so right!
Which one is which? I'm trying to use context clues, but I am drawing a blank. :c
@Christian Luong Larsson Thank you.
Marley Mal as on a What????
I always feel my boy Kevin doesn’t get enough recognition in comparison to the other members. His skill and artistry is the foundation of every song and throughout the years he has constructed some crazy percussion around songs most beatboxers have no clue how to handle. He has a wonderful gift to both blend in or fade back at just the right time while at the same time taking the crescendos to a level, in volume, complexity, and intensity, astounding for a single percussionist all the while constructing them using only his body!!!
So I didn’t know his name was Kevin till I saw your post; he is phenomenal.and each of these guys have their own skillset. Bioody brilliant, ! As we say in Scotland X
@@lorifriel2302 his name is Kevin "KO" Olusola and he's the literal backbone of PTX and I freak out every time they're live because he does it all, at once, without messing up.
They all add to the sound of this great group….thank god not one of them is trying to be the “literal backbone”.
Your boy? I find all of them fantastic, none looking to be special to no one else. They are family. LIVE WITH THAT> THEY DO
@@sersastark para ppppp
Had this as my wedding procession song. Love their version
Best of best in wedding 💒 I guess
Weird for a wedding march.
Honestly, Kirstie doesn't get enough credit. She sings so amazingly here while being to project all those emotions. Damn she just draws me in.
her facial expressions show how dedicated she is to it too its amazing! 🥰
I think the beat boxer doesn’t get enough credit
Lando Bleu Obviously he doesn’t since you don’t know his actual name.. 😐
She does everyone gets enough credit
They all deserve credit, without each other it would not sound as good
3:05 the way Mitch said „light“ is just awesome
NINA yesssssssssss
💯%
I made that ,too.When he says "light"my mom open the lights
There is not a single member that doesn't deserve recognition. All so talented and amazing ❤️
Avi has the voice of god and Mitch has the voice of an angel. Just amazing and stunning performance.
Agree
Mitch and Kirstie's parts are so dang powerful
kevin deserves so much more recognition, his talent knows no bounds. beatboxing while stomping his feet and tapping his chest, that talent is godsend.
And he’s also incredible at singing
And he plays the cello. I mean. I adore him!
@@boinkingyamumsohardithurts12 90 o 0 0
@Alexej Svirid nobody is interested in your insane cult
I agree
To all the people who think they're lip syncing you are completely wrong Scott changed his part with a bit of vibrato in a couple of places and his voice goes raspy at 03:22 I have seen them live and seen Scott cover the bass on Standing By which Avi sings the lead on. They are amazing better than any other singers I have ever heard sheer vocal beauty.
THANK YOU! Honestly, I don't understand why people think they're lipsyncing. It sounds almost exactly like the studio version, but you can hear a few differences.
Um? You are failing to consider the fact that they can re-record a studio version with slight changes to throw people like you off.
100% sure lip synced. Its just impossible to provide this quality of sound and definition in a live concert. Maybe they sung live, but for the video they remastered it with a studio version of the song. :)
however, still a good performance + song!
TheJoblacki Nah. I saw it.
Specifically, the Up On the Housetop performance.
It's sort-of give and take. There are moments when they're undoubtedly live, like when they switch from person to person that has their own specific verse. Scott, Avi, Kirstie, and Mitch each sang live (at least for their start). The chorus and in-betweens I believe were lip synced along with most of the A Capella beat. The end/climax is also live. I'd say it's equal parts live as it is lip synced.
This is the most beautiful musical group I have ever heard. One day I hope to attend one of their concerts. When listening to their music I envision myself being able to sing like this to my Jesus. This music helps me express myself to the Lord. I love you Lord and thank you for this group, I pray your protection over them.
Same😁
Yes
Amen to Jesus..
Schicken sie ihren Herzenswunsch zu Segen Gottes Christus Alles Liebe ☀️💜♥️🕊️🙏💝🌞💛😘💚💙😀
I think Scott's basss notes when Avi sings are under-appreciated.
hi how are you. good? Bass will forever be under appreciated
preach.
Loop Bass efecto!
Eat A Slice Yes u're right, but they under-appreciate too much Scott's bass notes than Avi's in this song, and that's bullshit
The beat boxer is doing 99% of the work and he is nailing it!!!!!
His name is Kevin
True
@Niranjan Rajesh the bass is avi and scott (when avi sing). How did a high tenor (kevin) sang bass???
He also plays strings, speaks several languages, went to Yale, and was going to go into medicine.......
He will go back to medicine ... one of these days......
LOL
Yes, he is very intelligent and talented.
But he's just the beatboxer mitch,kristin,and Scott do the main song,and im not saying they're more important because when they sing together it's so beautiful and uplifting.
Holy shit Kirstie is beautiful and her voice makes me melt
And her little smirk kills me
Crafty Cat kristie, my bad
I had a math teacher named mr fox and he's also my chess coach lol
Crafty Cat chill
Mr.fox KRISTIN
I feel like certain works of art transcend humanity... like this, both this performance and this song are so out of this world it doesn't feel real. It's so much more than just entertaining. It captures your soul with raw emotion.
I feel the same. I find myself from time to time needing to come back to this.
💖✨😌🎶🎧
Me too! ❤
Straight to the heart!
Pvzzz I agree I listen to The Prayer and Hallelujah and a few other ones everyday. Like you said gives us such an amazing feeling that makes us literally tingle. It reminds us there's a loving God out there, and his son died on the cross to save us. I believe God uses imperfect people like the apostles to spread his perfect message. .
Still by far the BEST acapella group in decades.
Probably ever to be honest.
@@cassielaralim5443 I was totally blown away by their voice when I first heard it.
Go listen to voices8
*all time best
I will NEVER get over Avi’s part
Best ever
And the way Scott took over the bass part is just 🥵
@@Kamil_PLCIt's 2nd half of 2020 and i still can't figure it out how Avi and Scott exhanged the bass line... sooooo perfect!
Miss him
AVI IS FUCKING AMAZING, I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE LEFT THE BAND
This cannot be live it’s PERFECT
In fact it is a playback performance
They are Angels so of course they are perfect.
yea lip synced or pre-recorded
MrAttitude1986 no, this is live believe me
yep. NOT Live.
*To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us 💗*
THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN SONG!!! I love it but it makes no sense biblically. It didn’t happen the way Marc Cohen wrote it! He got mixed up with his characters!
Avi has THE MOST AMAZING VOICE😍😍 I'm.. WE ALL are gonna miss him 😭
Bettina Esguerra what happend with him?
Liz Beers he left ptx😭
Your profile pic is STARWARS and you love PTX?!?! you are literally a reflection on a mirror of me. If I make sense
Omg ... Why he left? 😭😭😭
Daisy Moraes he left because the not being able to see his family as much as he wanted to was putting stress on him and it got to hard on him. I'm going to miss him
You know, of the 100 different "covers" of Leonard Cohen's " Hallelujah "...... this is by far the best.....
by far
This was wonderful but K.D. Lang's version is still my favourite.
for what it's worth Leonard said this was his favorite version as well so your in good company. :)
I know.
This version is amazing but in my opinion, the one by Jeff Buckley is the best, by far.
The black guy is a living drum set!
PigTastesGOOD he's the loving embodiment of talent
hahaha. am telling you. He does it with so much ease.
Thats kevin he's amazing
PigTastesGOOD he is Kevin
He beatboxes, he plays the cello, the piano and god knows what else, he can sing, he can speak chinese..
He is a living talent.
Listening to Pentatonix is like listening to a choir of Angels. Bringing joy and comfort to all who listen. They truly are that good. God bless them always. ☺️
what makes a musician great is when their live performance sounds better...
And when they are constant with there sound
Its not live...
George S how do you know that?
@@arez6300 You can see they're lipsyncing. Especially with the way they're phrasing their vowels.
George S actually yes it is lol
The thing that amazed me the most about this video was actually the crowd.
They just stood there with the 'candles' and enjoyed the music. No one thad their phone out, which is so rare nowadays.
Misceff cameras and phones weren't allowed at the taping. Although someone did record an audio of this and it leaked before the album came out.
EliaKay1 ooh okay. 😂 that explains alot, thanks
I'm sure someone did have their phone to snaphat like 10 seconds of it
The guy beat boxing is absolutely amazing! Easily one of the most talented artists I've ever seen. Everyone else was definitely stunning. But that mans artistry was OUTSTANDING!
the bat boxing was machine....
Kevin. He plays the cello in Perfect; that's the only time he's not beat boxing.
They usually don't show enough of him, wish they would. 😢
@@lizh1988 It is hard to shine as tenor in a group with Mitch. Luckily he has about a thousand other talents.

Everytime tears out of my eyes for Holy God Jesus Christ swirls of Holy Spirit all around us now ... Can you imagine how Heaven will feel like this everyday

OK BUT SCOTT AND THEM BASS NOTES THOO!
I know right?! Thought that they had dubbed Avi in for those notes at first. Sounds so much like Avi.
Unfortunately they did add in his Avi's recorded bass notes for when he was doing his solo to keep the song sounding full.
And how do you know this?
Stefani Hall If the baseline keeps going when Avi is singing means that it is recorded and then played to keep the full sound.
I'm pretty sure it's Scott they wouldn't record it like that knowing that they can't sing it like that live so if you look up a live version at a concert of them singing this Scott is obviously doing the bass notes
Avi is too talented to sing bass only.
Capriccio I can't wait for his solo album to come out.
and kevin
EliaKay1 wait what!?!?!!
I AGREEEEEEEEEEE
Cloe Hannum hopefully #soon but we've never heard a timeline.
CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE SCOTT’S BASS VOICE FOR A SEC
I didn't know it was him until the live version.
Yes often the others are more recognized, even though as "under dogs" of the group since scott sometime is seen as the lead singer and obvious. But actually that way kinda makes Scott a underdog and might make him being less acclaimed. Also in "Come along" and "waving through a window" you can hear is great vocal range.
Scott is one of the most talanted voices in the world
He is amazing. His bass voice is much clearer than the studio version
IKR?!
Scott on that bass while avi was singing his solo ....damn 🎉🎉 here r your flowers😊😊
What can go wrong when even Jesus is performing with you?
I swear nothing
Avi wouldn't say Jesus is with him, and tbh, neither would I, since he and I are of the same religion
@@samoyedpups4673 Well to us God and Jesus are one in the same. Yes to me when I say Jesus is with them in turn I am saying your God is with them. Lifes too short brother.
God bless

I think they were saying that avi looks like Jesus with his long hair and beard

That moment when Avi's solo comes up, and you're listening to him kill it, but then you notice the bass and think, "Damn, Avi is killin' that bass line!" And it suddenly clicks.... Holy Shit, it's freakin Scott!!!! Ugh, why are they all so crazy talented like that!
the857dude I bet mitch could do the bass to this song he so talented
absolutely not.
Bob Wilkinson no offence to Mitch, he's amazing but his voice sounds like he hasn't hit puberty yet so no way he could do a baseline

This was my wife's favorite song. I love the tune, though the lyrics seem kind of dark toward the end.
When she died last year, I composed another verse in her memory. I'm no musician, but this expresses how much I miss her:
I've heard it said that love is blind
That pain and heartaches all you'll find
And baby, it was true until I met ya
You lifted me from dark despair
And showed me what it means to care
And now my heart is singing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelu----jah
This one's for you, love. I miss you!
My condolences

Scott's part is different from Studio ver.
PTX is sooo Crazy guys...
@carliza loves bangtan !!
Hi Carliza, just a very friendly FYI, it's called lip-synching when people synchronize their lips movement to a song but don't actually sing. It's what Milli Vanilli got in trouble for in the early 1990's because someone else was singing/recording their songs but making the public believe it was them by lip-synching pseudo-live performances. It was a huge scandal. LOL!
Anyway, I must agree with you... Pentatonix is EXTREMELY TALENTED and real!!! I'm so glad I found them. I will be looking for more. :-) :-) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Absolutely brilliant! :-)
A take me to church cover would be cool...
That guy absolutely, I second this!
Same!
It'd be awesome, but I hiiighly doubt they would do that song as it's a satire making fun of going to church. -__-
Tassie Yang I dont think its about what you think it's about
That guy it is (in my opinion). I know a lot of people don't fully understand the lyrics, but I remember reading Hozier's interview about what his meaning behind it was and how I felt the lyrics were interpreted to myself. Being that he doesn't mean to "forbid" institutions, it's more of the ideal behind them and likeness of other organizations that can make you lose yourself due to it being "bad". But that song wouldn't be a "politically correct" song for Pentatonix to cover as it is directed towards who you really are or what you enjoy can be shameful or a sin (sex, sexuality, etc). So, my earlier comment about a satire and not going to church, it's like you could do as a dog is told, but you'll be judged and they have tons of their own lies. This was longer than intended... LOL
Eines der größten Stücke der gesamten Musikindustrie. DANKE. Ihr bereichert Leben. Ihr bereichert mein Leben.

Holy fuck they were just as good performing live as they were in their recording
That's because it's playback

Diego Hernandez I don't know if it's a joke, but it's not playback at all
A group with genuine talent, I have never heard a group sing live so beautifully
Yes !
Like !
They are my favorite singing group
Scotts bass part at 1:00 is so good. Baritons may not be extreme in highs or lows like tenors/sopranos and basses but their versatility is just insane.
That's all Scott with the low notes as well, Avi's not helping.
The second man singing is absolutely gorgeous and an absolutely beautiful voice. The Beat boxer is amazing and such a great bass sound. They all are amazing. 🥰😍
That’s Avi. He left the group and is now touring on his own. Amicable split.
@@davidturk6170 I really miss Avi. Don’t get me wrong. I think Matt is awesome and was a perfect replacement. But the group just didn’t feel the same after Avi left
Check out his solo work! Avi Kaplan “change on the rise”. Mostly folk/bluegrass/roots, but he has a few in the Americana soul genre. Writes his own music too. He’s amazing!!
His voice is awesome
Holy fuck, when the second vocalist began, the way he connected with the lyric, I got goosebumps on my arms and my legs. I can't think of the last time that happened. That's just, damn. I didn't realise I could get them on my legs as well as my arms. Jesus that second vocalist expresses such a strong connection to the lyric .
You're so right Grae Hall! ... same here.
Love the acapella
@Nimil.S ... you definitively have no ear for good music.
Avi
That's Avi. But I think he didn't sing it live
REALLY Grae? your language man! Show some respect! You DO know this is a religious song DON'T YOU???
JF K it's the Internet, chill out man.
Lol I like how everyone sings and it's silent then Mitch sings and everyone cheers. XD
I love all of them so much! They're such a great band!
ChanceofPie
Is he a she?
No, he is a he.
He is gender fluid and goes by both he/she and him/her. Mitch frequently wears women's clothing, but can also rock the masculine look. I guess it depends on what he/she is feeling that day.
ChanceofPie Mitch is just so good, the others also btw
They cheered for Kirstie too
I have no idea how I just realized how amazing Scott's low notes are...
I’ve watched this way too many times and I still get goosebumps
Mitch's upper register control is incredible.. It's really easy to get screechy up there but his voice is damn near bell tone clarity.
This is talent, unlike most singers who can't really even sing, just auto tune, and then when they play live they're trash. These guys are great though
earthly truth There is a huge amount of electronic sugar on this. There's more MIDI than performance going on here.
tsmithkc what you're hearing is the sound of their voices through speakers....maybe a little echo added on occasion. this is what they sound like in person I assure you.
actually I think this is playback..... you can really see it when Kristin and Mitch do their solos.... But I've seen them live and their voices are trully amazing!
earthly truth SO TRUE
earthly truth and they are more talented then most talented people that actually can sing live because they can do different things that most talented people can't do with their voices
Happy Moments: Praise God Difficult Moments: Seek God Quiet Moments: Worship God Painful Moments: Trust God Every Moment: Thank God
During the final chorus, I can't help but pay attention to the bass line. God, they're amazing.

pr Josué Tiradentes: The languages of the angels are shared languages, have languages for prayer to build the vessel itself, have languages shared in message to the Lord's church (prophet who speaks and interprets) and the Holy Spirit praying talking to God hallelujah with the
hands raised to heaven this has not written in the scriptures is mysteries
[4/5 20:00] Brother Cx: [4/5 7:41 PM].
pr Josué Tiradentes: Regarding spiritual gifts, I don't want you to be ignorant, there are diversities of gifts, but the spirit is the same, there are diversities of ministries, but the senior is the same, there is a variety of languages and interpretation of languages by the spirit of God, but
one and the same spirit works all these things, sharing each one as he wishes.
Amen
[4/5 7:56 PM].
pr Josué Tiradentes: When the people pray in shared languages, there are several languages, hi-national tribes, no matter which language is that of men or angels, they are variations of languages by the Holy Spirit of God according to their will and the spirit of God, interpretation also comes
of the Holy Spirit wanting to interpret according to the will of Jesus Christ and the will of God the Holy Father
[4/5 7:58 PM].
pr Josué Tiradentes: When he goes to pray again in the young man he asks the Lord Jesus Christ to take the spirit of deceit and the deceitful legions that issue the tongues shared in the name of Jesus Christ amen soldier
[4/5 20:54] Irmao Cx: Caxias when you ask the spirit who speaks at the mouth of the vessels who you are, if he says that it is Jesus Christ this is the confirmation that it is the Holy Spirit of God who speaks,
if he doesn’t say what Jesus Christ is, you’re not from God, he’s a demon
Tamara Virginia Domingo same here
scott singing bass lol xD
iruyasu senpai yeah I was like who's doin bass WHAT IT'S SCOTT
hehe he did it :V
iruyasu senpai WHERE
Gracen Jones He did it when Avi was singing. Scott is a baritone, so he can do it.
Why they are so amazing? :')
iruyasu senpai YASSSS
Everyone loves Mitch's solo, including me! But have you noticed the harmony in the background? Avi's bass, Kirstie... It's very beautiful!
Hello
laura로라 ikr and I love that pfp
인정합니다!!
Avi blows me away in this beautiful song and everything they do. - he’s the amazing standout and a group that is near perfection.
Avi is truly remarkable. His notes provide such irreplaceable depth to their music and that has been gone since his departure.
I so mis Avi singing with this group! He is amazing & his voice cannot be replaced!❤😢
I can't get enough of Avi's bass in the background, especially during Kristie's part and the end harmonization! I miss himmm!
Why did Avi leave?
@@kareneskow4901 personal reasons mainly because him being constantly on tour with Pentatonix resulted in him being unable to see his family and friends
@@kareneskow4901 mostly to spend more time with his family. Cause at the time he left they had just finished tour, and were planning another one (i think), so he wouldn’t be able to see his family
Yes!
I miss him too! I love you Avi!
Is it just me or did I just hear 1,000 angles from heaven singing?
Jessica Nunez so many angles
DaMeat Eatah before you go spitting insults out of your big ass mouth, think about what you're saying, a weeb is someone who's obsessed with anime. They deserve the right to live just as much as you and me.
Bob Wilkinson did they just delete their comment or am I blind
I think, there where just five angels
Jessica Nunez angles
I love Avi's voice so im always excited when he leads. But im also excited bc that means Scotty does bass
Veronica Jones it’s such a smooth switch as well
Fantastisch
When I watched this performance for the first time and realized it is Scott doing the bass part when avi sings I couldn't believe it, I replayed it so much and I fell in love
It never dawned on me that Scott does bass sometimes until I watched sound of silence. My jaw dropped lol
@Julia Sprengeler Avi just left the team,not dead.
Truly talented musicians. Unbelievable vocals!
Dang I miss Avi, his low notes give so much rich emotion when he sings. Chills
I just don't think their as dynamic since Avi left...
HE LEFT?!
I miss him too. I like the new guy too but Avi's voice went straight down my spine. Insane
ohh my god, i literally cannot go one single old pentatonix video without someone from recently talking about this. It's been two years. Matt has different dynamics, and i know we all care about Avi but can we go at least one video without this?
@@twixstari i dont personally have anything against Matt. Obviously they would not have brought him into the group if he wasn't insanely good & didnt bring his own dynamic to the group. I love listening to his songs as well!
However, when I first started listening to Pentatonix Avi's voice was the one that caught my attention on a personal level. Its not a bad thing to miss someone who was in the group. Life changes, groups morph & life goes on! I do miss hearing Avi sing though, which is why I subscribe to his Facebook page. That doesn't mean I dont still absolutely love this group!
AVI his voice is like butter. Mitch is amazing.
can we just have a moment of silence for how beautiful this is
Avi's bass rocking 😍😍😍😍
Holy moly... That transition between Avi and Scott is brutally seamless. I really tried to find the switch and it's kind of impossible. Almost as impossible as the sheer power in Avi's voice on the last part. There's probably more talent in these 5 than in the rest of the popular pop artists combined.
