This is absolutely one of my favorites by PTX. Every single one of them shines. Kirstie's lead is perfect, Avi's part always brings a tear to my eyes (I am a HUGE Avi fan, so I might be biased toward him a bit). Kevin gets to play cello, beatbox, and sing in the same song. Scott and Mitch shine just as brightly in the background as they do in the forefront. Loved your changing looks of amazement. I hope you guys got a chance to listen to it straight through after this reaction. I know pausing is necessary for the algorithm, and expected for reaction purposes, but this is one song that REALLY benefits from letting the ebb and flow of intensity carry you with it. I hope you let yourselves experience that.

No you're right. I'm not one who listen to Avi often (even leaning towards a Matt bias even though I appriciate both for what they do). And you are spot on. Avi was the perfect choice at that part and really heightened the emotion. So not just your bias speaking there! I agree with you on the pausing in this one. Hope they watched it all way through off camera at least.

That's how they found Kevin Celloboxing on KZitem. Perfect pitch and leads the tempo. Avi gave Kevin the Motivation and Courage to sing when they shared an apartment together when they all moved to LA. Scott wanted Kirstin to take the lead and show off her talent. They wanted this to be like a still photograph, but you can tell Scott is holding on to the chairs to stay still. They always show movement even when they are in individual boxes on a video. Thanks for the reaction.

Such spectacular arranging in this one to bring out the emotion. They manage desperate wailing, hopeless silence, vulnerability, all of the emotions that fit with the lyrics. They are so good at bringing the right sounds and people out for the perfect effect. Avi for example is a spectacular choice for when some extra emotion is needed. Kevin is often brought in for a bit of an innocent and almost childlike tone. They are soooo good!

Avi has a uniquely emotional voice! When Scott wrote a beautiful and heartfelt lullaby for his nephew he insisted that Avi sing the lead because of the quality of emotion in his voice, it’s called Light in the hallway. You can definitely hear it in his solo music. He has such a moving voice. Kirstie also has it. They all show it in O holy night.

Pentatonix makes an effort to make each of their songs unique and worth a listen. People tend to recommend the most popular songs, but there are many that are not reacted to nearly enough. Some of my favorites -- "God Only Knows" (Beach Boys), "Shallow" (Lady Gaga), "Attention" (Charlie Puth), "New Rules x Are You That Somebody (Dua Lipa X Aaliya), "La La Latch" (Naughty Boy x Disclosure), "Happy Now" (original), "Dreams" (The Cranberries)

#PTX. This is in my top 5 all-time PTX favorites list. That list is subject to change, depending on what I've listened to recently, but this one never leaves it! An interesting note about the video: it's supposed to be a throwback to those old-time photographs, where the subject had to sit still for several minutes during the exposure, so that's why there's so little movement in the video. That was especially hard on Scott, who sings with his hands almost as much as his mouth - he had to hold on to the chairs in front of him to remind himself not to use his hands, and there are several shots where you can see his arms jerking as he starts to move and then remembers he's supposed to stand still! Poor guy! 😄

Great reaction, guys! I also have to compliment you on your audio. I've listened to many reactions and I heard all the subtleties on this one. Back story details to this song is that Kirsten was not feeling well and Scott had a death grip on those chairs, because, as you know, his hands are a lot of his emoting! The fact that Avi and Kevin had big parts in this one is a plus, as well. You can feel the emotion in this song, and that's what makes it brilliant!

Thanks for your reaction to this stunning masterpiece! Yes, I agree with you about the blends of harmonies with Pentatonix, Home Free and Voice Play and it is because they have all known each other for so long you can see and feel the love there. Yes, I love Kevin's cello playing while beatboxing and agree that it brings so much when it is included. The cello you see here is named "Beyonce" by Kevin and the electric one that you saw him rock out on in "Down" and "Kissed By A Rose" was named Mr Carter by Kevin's mom. I would love to see a collaboration of Layne from Voice Play playing the violin and beat boxing with Kevin celloboxing. Keep an eye out for Voice Play's new release today that will show us a little of Violayne's talent.

Great reaction. This is usually not a first recommendation given to reactors because to enjoy it the most you need to know a little about PTX in my opinion. Their catalog is huge and they truly do the parts based on what is best for the song. They were all amazing but Kirstie and Avi were centered for sure. They all are amazing individually and together they create magic. I have heard the set is meant to be a photo shoot of sorts. Kirstie in a chair, Mitch and Scott behind her ( Scott had to hold on to the chair clutching sometimes to keep his hands still) The emotion is from their voices, the song and their harmonies are what shines. The backdrop looks like a photo shoot. But there is also a ladder and the picture frame on the table is empty. You might like Papaoutai with Lindsey Stirling and I also believe you are ready for “Aha, Singapore”. A very specific live version of the song Aha. Often called “ where is Kevin?@ because Kevin is offstage at the start putting away his cello. A fan recorded it and they mostly videod Mitch, but you can hear Kevin. Yes. I think you are ready to hear it. I am sure your seats have seatbelts and you have access to helmets if needed. 😂
