I've been a session musician for 20 years. The first 18 years of my life I was on the road with my dad's vocal band. I have never, ever, ever been as impressed with anyone's analysis like Lolli's. Her communication style is perfectly genuine and her technical mastery is spot on. She is going to inspire loads of great music. If you haven't already and you can, donate to her so we can make sure the world gets as much of this as possible.
Kirstie's very rapid vibrato is exquisitely demonstrated in her solo for 'Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)'. Which also features a Matt solo and a special surprise at the end.
Oh my goodness, I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!!! I still go back to your reaction to Hallelujah because no one has ever broken a song down quite like you did on that one 😍
I had never heard of reaction videos before I realized it had been years since I'd seen the video for Hallelujah. I was curious when my search yielded SO MANY VIDEOS. Luckily, I clicked on The Fairy Voice Mother. (I cried right along with Lolli and I also had no tissues nearby.) Finding TFVM first was a blessing and a curse. I wanted to see every video Lolli had ever made, which was an absolute joy. Unfortunately, the bar for other reaction channels was set impossibly high. I have found about a half-dozen channels that I really enjoy; it just took a lot of time. Out of the thousands of reactors out there, I found the most magical (and to me most cherished) person first! It wasn't xmas, but I'll call it my xmas miracle anyway. 😊
I have never once cringed watching one of your videos, which means either that you are not in fact cringey or we are the same flavor of cringe. 😂 You and @sirhairless are my favorite reactors bc you've both got a perfect combination of genuine, visceral enjoyment of the music and tons of knowledge that enhances my own enjoyment of it. Also, much like Pentatonix themselves, you just keep getting better despite the fact that I think you just can't *possibly* do so. Your earlier videos have a lot of cuts before your demos, which is perfectly fine bc it's like, heck yeah you'd need to practice that, but now there are a fair amount of times that you just go straight from talking to perfectly belting out a demonstration. That "Pro" you put in your titles now is very much accurate and earned. Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks so much for this awesome reaction/analysis!! About Matt...yes...his father is a music pastor, so Matt grew up singing in church. He continued following his music career in college , loved Pentatonix, and entered a competition for their new bass...and got the part. He fits in so well with them all. From the first day working with them, he'd memorized every song they'd done so he knew all the bass parts already.
I love your Pentatonix reactions. I was so excited to see this come up. Thanks for the lovely reaction. As someone else said, Matt is not really the new guy anymore. He is a wonderful addition to the group and seems like a genuinely amazing person. And that jacket was Mitch being Mitch which I think we all love.
yes, actually Matt has been with PTX for longer than Avi ever was at this point-- seven whole years. He's not new at all, but I guess some people mostly know their older work still!
I also revisit your reaction to Hallelujah so often. It was heart-felt. So glad you are doing this one. Love your channel, your own music and your voice!! Greetings from South Africa
"Because the worst that you can do is fail". I'm terrified of failure, always have been, it has completely crippled me my entire life. I've been told this line in one form or another many times before and it never did anything for me. But for some reason hearing you say that, on this particular day, made me absolutely break down. I think I really needed to hear that today. The rest of the video was an absolute treat to watch, as always. Merry Christmas.
I just have to say you have an absolutely amazing voice yourself. So many times you sing parts of what you are reviewing, and not just match, but out-do what you are reviewing. Astonishing.
Holy cow! My dear Failry Voice Mother, I usually come here just to watch you enjoy music and learn from you, and while I also enjoy the bits of wisdom you share with the Oracle cards, today's message is one I did not see coming, but as a matter of fact so desperately needed to hear... Thank you so very *effing* much!
Such a talented review of one of the best versions of a Christmas song I have ever heard. I love the surprise in this and how you think you know where it is going and the song surprises you. They are amazing, and to be honest so are you, singing almost all the parts yourself, excellent job, Merry Christmas to you and yours this year.
Undoubtedly my fave version of my fave christmas song. First time I've heard it without crying thanks to your humour and vocal breakdowns. Amazes me how easily you replicate everything. Thank you for diving into this ❤
Dear Lolli, loved your reaction/analysis. Also, I just heard Elizabeth review your original song, and I was bowled over. You are wonderful! Keep it up, Sweetie! We all want to be spoiled terribly! And, Happy Holidays to you, as well!
Merry Christmas, FVM. Your deep understanding of the subject matter coupled with your easy way of imparting that knowledge is unparalleled. Your excitement is the piece de resistance. Merry Christmas to all of the likeminded Fairy Voice Children, too.
What an extraordinary reaction! I’ve always enjoyed your thoughts, but my goodness! You gave us an awesome lesson in what makes our favorite singers..well, our favorites! 💖
I believe other fans of Lolli will agree with me when I say that Lolli is a genius in her own right. I do not make this statement lightly. I have followed and listened to her for a long time. No aspect of her is average nor mediocre. She excels at everything. That is genius. Thank you for sharing with us, Lolli! Lan from Virginia
I always love your reactions you basically just give out amazing feedback and can really interpret what’s going on extremely well and it shows…. So thank you for all the reactions that you’re doing… it really helps :)
Although I do completely agree with your amazing explanation and appreciation of how good pentatonix are, I also have to say that your renditions of them, just sat in your chair are equally as amazing!! Fairy Christmas Lolli from North Wales xx
Thank you for this GREAT reaction! Gotta admit currently my mind is blown 🤯…… bc minutes ago I watched another TH-camr react to YOU, or your alter ego Lolli Wren that is! Definitely mind blow🤯. See, the yellow thingee proves it.
Love all around : -Pentatonix -the way you enjoy them -the way you explain what's happening -the way you offhandly sing phrases to emphasize your explanation -your voice. The range of it, the timbre (oh, dear, do I love it!) Definitely checking out your album!
Lolli, I’m really sorry I won’t be able to make the premiere due to Christmas family obligations. I wish you the greatest of Christmases and a happy and healthy New Year. I joined your Patreon one year ago yesterday and it has been a joy and blessing to get to know you. ❤
I'm only 1/4 in. Pausing it as much as you. I suspected one comment would not be enough. Your explanation and demonstration of the harmonies was/is clear and beautiful. 💗
Without fail every reactor goes, “Mitch, what are you wearing?” 😂😂 The answer is not easily defined. He’s a unique spirit, when it comes to clothes. Anyway… thank you for the informative reaction. Your voice is so compelling, impactful and gorgeous. Love how you use it to describe to us what is going on in the arrangement. As others have said, Matt has a church background with a father who is a music minister. He’s got that gospel soul vibe going on. He and Avi are obviously different in tone and timber. It changes the PTX sound somewhat but Matt brings different gifts to the group. As in life, we adapt and move forward. Beautiful reaction. My last reaction video before Christmas Day was over was well spent with your channel. ❤️
I think I have watched her Halleluja breakdown of Pentatonix 1M times. When she says, "...and some of them do THIS!" I can't get enough. It's a religious experience.Keep going, Fairy Voice Mother!
Thank you SO much for your re-visitation to PTX, Lolli. This video just popped up in my feed, and it means more to me than you could possibly know (especially the end part when you bring up failure being a subsequent component to one’s success). I’ve been a pianist/ vocalist for about 50 years now, and my debilitating spinal stenosis has rendered my left arm quite useless (sucks for me, since I’m a lefty). Your video, however, has served as an unintentional Christmas gift to me, because it’s inspired me to stop feeling sorry for myself and instead figure out how to make these “orchestrations” in my head an audible joy-fest for those who need to hear some love. Merry Christmas, Lolli, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🤘🏾❤️🤘🏾❤️ Sincerely, Kurt
As a newcomer to the channel, I'm finding myself thoroughly impressed, entertained, and educated. You said to mention how we found you. I like analysis. I've listened off and on now to a couple other music/voice analysis channels, Daily Doug and Charismatic Voice**, and enjoyed them (it was Doug who had me going WTF? when he excitedly pointed out that Pink Floyd had used a sixth chord with an Austrian accent, which I still don't understand). So the arcane and enigmatic TH-cam algorithms suggested your delightful channel a few weeks ago, and I'm so happy about that bit of good fortune. You bring another level of entertainment to your analysis with your one-offs, asides, quick cuts, highly intelligent commentary, vocal demonstrations, and charmingly coquettish delivery. I think more specifically, I was doing a search for an analysis of some song I particularly like, and you were in the search results. You asked for suggestions: Child in Time, Deep Purple, 1970 live, with Ian Gillan's unearthly screams. Ball and Chain, Janis Joplin, live at the Monterey Pop Festival, leaving Mama Cass open-mouthed and disbelieving in the audience. Crazy On You, Heart, live 1976, with a lovely and eclectic acoustic guitar intro by Nancy Wilson, following up by Ann Wilson's expressiveness and power belts. Now, these are all old songs, but they are younger than I. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Ms. Wren, and thank you for helping to enrich mine. **If it's bad form to mention other channels, I apologize. Even in my advanced years, I've never been all that socially astute.
We _are_ lucky to have found her. Welcome to the vintage section of the not-yet-astute. Sometimes I prepare comments in a word app first and maybe 4 edits later it's respectable.
Ok. Newer sub. I’ve seen bunches of your reaction vids and I’m always caught off guard by so many things: -Editing for the absolute best effects with hilarity, visual sparks and, speaking of sneaking things into a performance, you sneak pops of joy while chatting up otherwise mind boggling music theory. You make it all sooooo fun and palatable. I’d gladly attend any class you ever teach - evahhhh! -Visceral sprays of astonishment which can be in belches of overwhelm or squeals of glee for a surprise note or key switch. -And, the most telling positive for me is how often I have recoiled when vocal coaches sing with or demonstrate something in a reaction vid. I don’t know why I recoil with others. It’s not about their ability to sing superbly. But, when you do it, I start to tense (muscle memory) and get confused by actually loving it. As Robert DeNiro said in Analyze This, “YOU! You got a gift!” Thanks for tolerating my diatribe. I’m usually quite concise in comments. But, I guess I’m just a huge fan!!! Keep on keeping on and having fun! Yay you!
i love your new album, Lolli! It is amazing and you are amazing! The more i hear the songs the more I get out of it. there is a lot packed into these songs! Thank you and Merry Christmas, Lolli!
I enjoyed every single moment of your reaction, so thank you very much for this fabulous present! Spellbinding is a good description of this performance. To me, it shows how much they have grown and matured from their years together, stronger than ever, united all the way. As for the wardrobe, it appears that Mitch and Kirstie were snatched from the day spa, Mitch with no time to change and Kirstie with no time to towel off! (I know, it’s fashion. Don’t come for me.) Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year! Peace from Ohio …
Wow! I always learn so much from your videos but having you replicate their singing was chef's kiss. Please do more of that. Much love from South Carolina
Love this reaction! You might also enjoy their cover of "Kiss from a Rose" - Kevin brings out the electric cello and the entire group basically kinda shows out. You'll also hear more of the new bass, Matt plus see how they continue to evolve their sound(s).
Happy Nickamas FVM! Great reaction as always, I too was speechless when Kirstie hit that note and then they let it ring through. Matt Salee has been with the band since 2017, he’s fantastic! You have to check out the live version of Pure Imagination/ Christmas Time, and Kiss from a Rose. ❤
As the New Year approaches, ring the bells that you can wring, forget your perfect offering, there’s crack in all of us, in everything. That’s what lets the light in. (L. Cohen). And as Fairy Voice conveys, you are respected, you are valued, you are loved, you are gorgeous.
Absolutely love the analysis, from the wacky Lolli-ness, perfect replication, nerdy nerdiness, instruction to finish with wholesome oracle-ness. Everything I subscribe for. Merry Christmas :)
Thank you Lolli for this treat on Christmas. Wishing you, your family and the whole TFVM community and jolly Christmas and great things for 2025! Hugs all around 🤗
Lolliiii! A very merry morn to you for ALL the days of the year. You left out 'life coach' in your intro. I really liked the lighting at the start, a bit of chiaroscuro, very cinematic, lovely. I haven't even started the show yet. 💖
Merry Christmas Lolli. If you had been under my tree, you would have been the only gift I have ever received that would have been loved for over 50 years.
I popped a video on bt "the vocalist" channel, i hadnt thought of her in awhile. I watch you, charismatic, and a dude named knox Hill mostly. As i was on her channel i seen she had almost half a million sub, i thought she was barely at 100k, and it made me think, sweet Lolli over there prolly up there with Elizabeth. I was surprised you were not. You are the most entertaining, most educational, and you call lovely and other terms of endearment. Like wth. I say all that to say, your time is coming, it's got to be. Once u get 1 that goes crazy and everyone sees u, THEY WILL SUB. Your great! Thanks for your honest, intelligent, entertaining and otherwise AWESOME content!
I found you because I saw PENTATONIX and Fairy together. Almost all of my reasons for living💚 in one place. And, boy! When you react, you REACT!!! Love your reactions. Love the way you teach too! The new guys name is MATT SALLIE. He and Mitch do a lot of insane (to me) combinations that I can't get enough of (hear SHALLOW; AMAZING GRACE; MAD WORLD). Love, love, love your lavender nail polish!!!💚💚💚
Merry Christmas Lolli- you are truly a bright light in the world, and such a wonderful person! Thanks for your insight, humor, and amazing vocal demonstrations!
Great reaction and impressive analysis. This is truly an amazing masterpiece. So well puts together everything that makes them the best. Glad to see you do another reaction with them.
Your reactions are the best. So full of knowledge and enthusiasm and emotion. And like others have said, your ability to sing all the different parts spontaneously is absolutely brilliant 🖤
Ok well whatever TH-cam algorithm God’s decided this video was meant to be the first thing I see upon opening TH-cam this morning are now my favorite. Holy hell this breakdown/analysis was so incredibly enjoyable to watch I immediately hit that "like/subscribe" button and I’m pretty picky about who I sub to. You are a gift!!!! Thank you for making me smile/laugh this morning. It was much needed ❤
Wow! Lolli the one woman Pentatonix! Your voice is amazing and I am always in awe of how much you hear in the videos. I would miss so much that's going on in the background if you didn't reveal it and in such an entertaining way. Thank you once again. PS, still playing your album and loving the actual CD.
Hi Lolli .. ❄️❄️❄️🌬️❄️❄️❄️ .. so , thank you ! I have been waiting for this reaction for some time now. I will be watching this Pentatonix video every Christmas day ... well , forever. I can't think of a better way to watch than with you and your first reaction. It is magical. They are magical. I hope you get to know Matt , the new bass singer , in the near future. You are such a great music teacher Lolli, but what I love most is the joy on your face when you hear magic. Wishing the most beautiful Christmas day ever. ✨✨✨🎄✨✨✨
I just started following your reactions on TH-cam. Then I went to listen absently, by chance, to your record "To build a sea". 😧 Wow! What record is it? Where did it come from? How wonderful!! I'm 55 years old and it's been years that I've been enchanted like this. But where did you come from!!! Voice, harmony, lyrics, simply wonderful!!! A real pearl.
I love your reactions and how you explain your analogy with humor, beautiful lady! Lol. Your explanations are easy to understand. This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. Have a wonderful New Years, lolli!😊😊😊😊😊
Love how she gushes over the performance, then casually performs every part off the cuff.
Her voice is such a buttery alto without even trying.
That's Lolli 😊
She is magic. Her casually on-level perform with the best singers in the worlds... while "talking" is INSANITY. She is a fairy.
It’s absolutely stunning, isn’t it? 😂
Why are you so talented???!!! ❤❤❤❤
I've been a session musician for 20 years. The first 18 years of my life I was on the road with my dad's vocal band. I have never, ever, ever been as impressed with anyone's analysis like Lolli's. Her communication style is perfectly genuine and her technical mastery is spot on. She is going to inspire loads of great music. If you haven't already and you can, donate to her so we can make sure the world gets as much of this as possible.
100% And on top of all that, a vocal talent with a beautiful voice.
Yes, Matt was raised singing in church. Is dad is a music pastor. Matt has been in the group for 7 years now, so not so new anymore lol.
i found perfect performance :)

Kirstie's very rapid vibrato is exquisitely demonstrated in her solo for 'Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)'. Which also features a Matt solo and a special surprise at the end.
Another one of my favorites - brings me to tears every time I hear it - just gorgeous.
It reminds me so much of Edith Piaf
Kirstin’s very fast vibrato is so impressive, isn’t it? It’s one of her super powers. I am complete delighted by your analysis as always!
Oh my goodness, I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!!! I still go back to your reaction to Hallelujah because no one has ever broken a song down quite like you did on that one 😍

I have found about a half-dozen channels that I really enjoy; it just took a lot of time. Out of the thousands of reactors out there, I found the most magical (and to me most cherished) person first! It wasn't xmas, but I'll call it my xmas miracle anyway. 😊
Check out Peter Barber for amazing song breakdowns as well
I have never once cringed watching one of your videos, which means either that you are not in fact cringey or we are the same flavor of cringe. 😂 You and @sirhairless are my favorite reactors bc you've both got a perfect combination of genuine, visceral enjoyment of the music and tons of knowledge that enhances my own enjoyment of it.

That "Pro" you put in your titles now is very much accurate and earned. Merry Christmas!!!
My two favorite reactors also!
Pentatonix is always superb, but Matt's heartfelt solo brought this a level higher for me.
Completely agree 💜
Christmas is officially Pentatonix's holiday. no one does it better than them
It's not quite the epiphany.
Thanks so much for this awesome reaction/analysis!! About Matt...yes...his father is a music pastor, so Matt grew up singing in church.

yes, actually Matt has been with PTX for longer than Avi ever was at this point-- seven whole years. He's not new at all, but I guess some people mostly know their older work still!
This is THE best analysis of this song. Together with your amazing voice...chef kiss
I also revisit your reaction to Hallelujah so often. It was heart-felt. So glad you are doing this one. Love your channel, your own music and your voice!! Greetings from South Africa
I so enjoy you explaining these arrangements of the voice. Also the emotional aspect of the song. I'm glad you enjoy what you do.🤩
Out of all the reactions to music channels on the tube, I like your perspective and critiques the most. Thanks for your videos.
Your Pentatonix reactions are so excellent! Glad to have you once again delving into the world of pentaholism!
"Because the worst that you can do is fail".
I'm terrified of failure, always have been, it has completely crippled me my entire life. I've been told this line in one form or another many times before and it never did anything for me.
But for some reason hearing you say that, on this particular day, made me absolutely break down. I think I really needed to hear that today.

Make sure you download her album Build a Sea!
Holy cow!

This was such a treat!!!! And all those little Harmony breaks were delightful!!!! Thank you Lolli!!!
Such a talented review of one of the best versions of a Christmas song I have ever heard. I love the surprise in this and how you think you know where it is going and the song surprises you. They are amazing, and to be honest so are you, singing almost all the parts yourself, excellent job, Merry Christmas to you and yours this year.

Here's a nice Christmas present for you loli the charismatic voice has done a Christmas analysis of your song "all mine"🎉🎉🎉❤
The only thing better than listening to Pentatonix is listening to the beautiful Lolli ?
Love to see the mention of the pentatonic scale used in Matt's riffs!
Ok. Newer sub. I’ve seen bunches of your reaction vids and I’m always caught off guard by so many things:
-Editing for the absolute best effects with hilarity, visual sparks and, speaking of sneaking things into a performance, you sneak pops of joy while chatting up otherwise mind boggling music theory. You make it all sooooo fun and palatable. I’d gladly attend any class you ever teach - evahhhh!
-Visceral sprays of astonishment which can be in belches of overwhelm or squeals of glee for a surprise note or key switch.
-And, the most telling positive for me is how often I have recoiled when vocal coaches sing with or demonstrate something in a reaction vid. I don’t know why I recoil with others. It’s not about their ability to sing superbly. But, when you do it, I start to tense (muscle memory) and get confused by actually loving it.
As Robert DeNiro said in Analyze This, “YOU! You got a gift!”
Thanks for tolerating my diatribe. I’m usually quite concise in comments. But, I guess I’m just a huge fan!!! Keep on keeping on and having fun! Yay you!
Lolli, what a lovely Christmas gift to hear your analysis of this song including YOUR stunning vocals! (I downloaded your album SO quickly!) 💗🎄🎶
I was having a bad day and Christmas so far, and your costume actually made me laugh out loud. Thank you!
i love your new album, Lolli! It is amazing and you are amazing! The more i hear the songs the more I get out of it. there is a lot packed into these songs! Thank you and Merry Christmas, Lolli!
This is such a beautiful & artistic video! Thank you for the reaction! ❤️
I love how emotionally involved you get with their vocal production!
I enjoyed every single moment of your reaction, so thank you very much for this fabulous present! Spellbinding is a good description of this performance. To me, it shows how much they have grown and matured from their years together, stronger than ever, united all the way. As for the wardrobe, it appears that Mitch and Kirstie were snatched from the day spa, Mitch with no time to change and Kirstie with no time to towel off! (I know, it’s fashion. Don’t come for me.)

I always just love your reactions - the way you combine knowledge and personality is immensely endearing and makes your videos such a joy ❤ Thanks!
Wow! I always learn so much from your videos but having you replicate their singing was chef's kiss. Please do more of that. Much love from South Carolina
What a lovely Christmas present from you - thank you so much, Lolli!
Love this reaction! You might also enjoy their cover of "Kiss from a Rose" - Kevin brings out the electric cello and the entire group basically kinda shows out. You'll also hear more of the new bass, Matt plus see how they continue to evolve their sound(s).
Happy Nickamas FVM! Great reaction as always, I too was speechless when Kirstie hit that note and then they let it ring through. Matt Salee has been with the band since 2017, he’s fantastic! You have to check out the live version of Pure Imagination/ Christmas Time, and Kiss from a Rose. ❤
I’ve missed your analyses of PTX! ❤❤ Peace and much love to you. The oracle card and your interpretation hit hard and I’m going to remember it ❤❤❤❤❤
Ptx don't make it easy and have largely disappeared from reactions world because of it.
Merry Christmas, Lolli!
I highly recommend their cover of *kiss from a rose* live on vevo. Its startlingly great. ❤❤❤❤
As the New Year approaches, ring the bells that you can wring, forget your perfect offering, there’s crack in all of us, in everything. That’s what lets the light in. (L. Cohen). And as Fairy Voice conveys, you are respected, you are valued, you are loved, you are gorgeous.
Absolutely love the analysis, from the wacky Lolli-ness, perfect replication, nerdy nerdiness, instruction to finish with wholesome oracle-ness. Everything I subscribe for. Merry Christmas :)
Lovely Christmas video. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you have as much fun making your videos as you appear to be having.
Lolli, you could easily step into a session with Pentatonix and hold your own. You are truly talented and gifted. With humble adoration, John Treble.
Thank you Lolli. You always make me smile! Have a wonderful new year and keep these amazing videos coming.❤
Always a joy!! Well done Lolli x
Merry Christmas sweetest one, Thank you for this special gift..💖💖🧚♀️And sharing your Holiday with us ,You are just lovely 😊
Lovely Lolli, I enjoyed this very much, You always treat us good, Accolades are all I have to appreciate you, It never seems enough .
Thank you Lolli for this treat on Christmas. Wishing you, your family and the whole TFVM community and jolly Christmas and great things for 2025! Hugs all around 🤗
Lolliiii! A very merry morn to you for ALL the days of the year. You left out 'life coach' in your intro. I really liked the lighting at the start, a bit of chiaroscuro, very cinematic, lovely. I haven't even started the show yet. 💖
Merry Christmas Lolli. If you had been under my tree, you would have been the only gift I have ever received that would have been loved for over 50 years.
Let me on this train of missing you doing PTX reactions! Choo Choo! Their interpretation of this song is breathtaking! Thank you!
I popped a video on bt "the vocalist" channel, i hadnt thought of her in awhile. I watch you, charismatic, and a dude named knox Hill mostly. As i was on her channel i seen she had almost half a million sub, i thought she was barely at 100k, and it made me think, sweet Lolli over there prolly up there with Elizabeth. I was surprised you were not. You are the most entertaining, most educational, and you call lovely and other terms of endearment. Like wth. I say all that to say, your time is coming, it's got to be. Once u get 1 that goes crazy and everyone sees u, THEY WILL SUB. Your great! Thanks for your honest, intelligent, entertaining and otherwise AWESOME content!
I found you because I saw PENTATONIX and Fairy together. Almost all of my reasons for living💚 in one place. And, boy! When you react, you REACT!!! Love your reactions. Love the way you teach too! The new guys name is MATT SALLIE. He and Mitch do a lot of insane (to me) combinations that I can't get enough of (hear SHALLOW; AMAZING GRACE; MAD WORLD). Love, love, love your lavender nail polish!!!💚💚💚
Happy New Year, FVM! Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year with many new musical experiences for you and the Fairy Voice Children.
Merry Christmas Lolli- you are truly a bright light in the world, and such a wonderful person! Thanks for your insight, humor, and amazing vocal demonstrations!
Great reaction and impressive analysis. This is truly an amazing masterpiece. So well puts together everything that makes them the best. Glad to see you do another reaction with them.
Won’t be able to make the premiere, but looking forward to this later. Merry Christmas!
OMGOODNESS, this is really happening!!!
Your reactions are the best. So full of knowledge and enthusiasm and emotion. And like others have said, your ability to sing all the different parts spontaneously is absolutely brilliant 🖤
Merry Christmas Loli and everyone in the comments!!
That was f’ing brilliant (both the analysis and your performance). Thank you.
Ok well whatever TH-cam algorithm God’s decided this video was meant to be the first thing I see upon opening TH-cam this morning are now my favorite. Holy hell this breakdown/analysis was so incredibly enjoyable to watch I immediately hit that "like/subscribe" button and I’m pretty picky about who I sub to.
You are a gift!!!! Thank you for making me smile/laugh this morning. It was much needed ❤
I always enjoy watching your reactions, but this one was particularly fun to watch. Thank you for what you do and share with us.
Look a blue eyed Christmas angel. What a rare and beautiful sight..We love you Lolli ❤
AMAZING GRACE AND THE PRAYER IS A MUST FOR YOU
Lolli surprised herself with her funny Gi punch joke😄
Wow! Lolli the one woman Pentatonix! Your voice is amazing and I am always in awe of how much you hear in the videos. I would miss so much that's going on in the background if you didn't reveal it and in such an entertaining way. Thank you once again. PS, still playing your album and loving the actual CD.
This song analyzed by you is a great Christmas gift. Thank you gorgeous
Hi Lolli .. ❄️❄️❄️🌬️❄️❄️❄️ .. so , thank you ! I have been waiting for this reaction for some time now. I will be watching this Pentatonix video every Christmas day ... well , forever. I can't think of a better way to watch than with you and your first reaction. It is magical. They are magical. I hope you get to know Matt , the new bass singer , in the near future.
You are such a great music teacher Lolli, but what I love most is the joy on your face when you hear magic.
Wishing the most beautiful Christmas day ever.
✨✨✨🎄✨✨✨
I just started following your reactions on TH-cam. Then I went to listen absently, by chance, to your record "To build a sea". 😧 Wow! What record is it? Where did it come from? How wonderful!! I'm 55 years old and it's been years that I've been enchanted like this. But where did you come from!!! Voice, harmony, lyrics, simply wonderful!!! A real pearl.
Love the Oracle at the end! Beautiful!
I love your reactions and how you explain your analogy with humor, beautiful lady! Lol. Your explanations are easy to understand. This is my favorite Christmas song of all time. Have a wonderful New Years, lolli!😊😊😊😊😊
LOVE this reaction from you!!!👏😃
You have a STUNNING voice, and I absolutely love your reviews!!!!
Love your reactions! Brilliant and professional, yet fun and light!
😍 Lolli…Your album just got added to my playlist!
WOW….beautiful!
Finally, someone reacting to great music that is musically knowledgeable, funny, attractive, and entertaining.
Love it Lolli. Your analysis is amazing and so is your singing!
Thank you, Lolli. Merry Christmas.
A very merry Christmas to you and yours, and bright lights for the New Year
Lolly so good to see and hear you again
