Mitch is phenomenal. He's a counter tenor which means his voice is in the stratosphere anyway but he brings his chest voice and head voice together and maintains pitch and control. I'm 69 years old and it's like nothing I've ever heard. His fans have a name for it. It's called being Mitch slapped.
Welcome to the wonderful world of a cappella music. Next on the journey should be Home Free, which if someone is cutting onions again, I'd suggest starting with How Great Thou Art and then move to their cover of Boys II Men End of the Road and remember....there are no instruments.
When Leonard Cohen wrote the song back in the 80s, it was about faith in life, not religious faith. This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that's what I mean by 'Hallelujah.' ~Leonard Cohen Many artists have put their own interpretations into the song. From sexual, biblical figures mentioned, Samsom/Delilah and King David/Bathsheba. To spiritual / religious. No matter how it is interpreted, it is a beautiful song. Pentatonix is my favorite cover, they are all around perfection!
Sweet! My lady Mellow has found another one my hangups. Tom McDonald, now PTX whom I have loved since '11. Now get to David Phelps and the Righteous Brothers and we're there.
The guy in the hat with the beard is Avi and no longer with Pentatontix, he has his own solo career now. Videos after 2018 is Matt (new bass). Mitch (high notes) is just not of this world.
@steven perez you are not correct. She was talking about the guy with the BEANIE hat with a beard which is Avi, he is not there anymore. Matt, the guy in the white jacket in The Sound of Silence is absolutely still there!!
There's one thing Pentatonix can do I have never heard another acapella group match, and they do it both here, and even more profoundly in the "Imagine" cover: They can sing the exact same notes with identical articulation, so that all five singing a verse sounds like one, profound voice.
If Hallelujah does this to you, Amazing Grace, Run to You, Say Something , and The Prayer gonna killa ya girl. Don't even start with Christmas music. ENJOY
One of the interesting tidbits about this arrangement is that Kirstin went a half step higher when she was singing the final chorus of Hallelujah than she did during her solo! Because the song was going to be on a Pentatonix Christmas album, they were all dressed in heavy clothes and coats for the "winter season". But the video was actually shot in the Mojave Desert in CA in the middle of summer, with temps about 100°F! It's a wonder no one ended up with heat stroke!
Mitch is a counter tenor which means heccan reach into the soprano range. He has the most unique perfect pure voice you'll ever hear thjs side of heaven.
Listen to The Prayer and their new audio release of Prayers for This World. I am sure there will be onions cut during those as well. Loved your reaction. 💕💕
They did a live version of this in a Christmas special one year and it is mindblowing how the live version sounds even better than the produced record version. If you get the chance definitely give it a watch!
I'm so excited you're on this journey. They will touch you in some way with every single song. I also recommend The Prayer, Amazing Grace and the live version of Hallelujah the Christmas Special. Can't wait for more! 💞 Their Chirstmas music is insanely good, and there is a LOT! 🎄🎄
You are so right about the sky and the atmosphere in general. The video was filmed in the Mojave Desert near Barstow. The time of day was very deliberate. This video had to have been filmed in one take with various cameras on the ground and in the air mounted on drones. The reason I say all one take is the light, which is entirely natural. It was filmed in Magic Hour, a time of day that the French call L'Heurre Bleu. There is no way to create the effect artificially. The clarity and sharpness it gives film is indescribable yet unmissable. Your reaction to Mitch called a "Mitch Slap" his voice is amazing anyway, but never finer than here. You have the glorious, lush wall of sound at the end of the chorus, and then bang. Just Mitch with his otherworldly sound. When he gets to "Its a cold and it's a broken HALLELUJAH", your heart breaks. What adds more meaning is how he holds the first syllable, creating a syncopated phrase, where is is slightly off the beat but constantly tuning the chord.
I miss Avi! Scott is my favorite, but I miss Avi. He was so special. Matt is talented, but I think Avi just made them even more special. You have to watch "Mary did you know". So beautiful.
I can’t count how many times I’ve listened to this song but it never fails to give me chills and uplift me. I really enjoyed your reaction. It’s so nice when someone ‘gets it’ down to their soul. Avi left the group on amicable terms for family reasons. Between Pentatronix, Voiceplay and the individual singers in both groups they’ve started a modern a cappella revolution.
Pentatonix is such a beautiful group. They harmonize so well together. If you like their music you should try Home Free they are also an acapella group who do their own best boxing. Tho should really check them out too.
They don't overdub. Everything they do in their videos, they can 100% recreate live, and they do. You can find rough videos where they are singing live, informally, etc and it's obvious.
I love your reactions! Avi Kaplan (with the beard) was in Bohemian Rhapsody which you reacted to, but he mostly sang bass in that one. Of course, with copyright holds, you may have watched this before that. As others have said, he left the group in late 2017. I hope you react to his solo stuff too.
Yes I really hope you react to Avi's solo stuff. So good! Would recommend Change on the rise or He dont love you right. They are very different but both are great.
Oh how I love your reaction. So much , I'm a new sub. Ptx is amazing. We Pentaholic's are s loyal bunch and... Welcome to the club. They have a live version so you can get a fell of how awesome they are. It will sound the same. Enjoy the PTX rabbit hole.
6 years after performing in this version of "Hallelujah" with his fellow group members, Avi Kaplan, now solo, performed this version of his original song "All Is Well" in a church in Utrecht, Netherlands, during his European tour. Resonant perfection. th-cam.com/video/sNjbAAjF4Tg/w-d-xo.html
Ok, miss Mello this was one of you best reactions I've seen so far. Keep it up i am a complete and total fan! I hope you don't mind me calling you sweet child, girl! You are sweet as sugar, and right as rain. I'm here to watch you grow your channel. Keep them coming!!!
What a wonderful reaction! After listening to this countless times, it still gets me every single time and I'm happy you liked it so much. We want more PTX please, I would love so watch you reacting to "Imagine" (more onions!) or "Can you feel the love tonight"
Pentatonix doesn't do anything in their videos that they can't do live, sounding exactly the same. If you want to go back into the onion cutting room, react to The Prayer, Amazing Grace, and Mary Did You Know. If you want to hear them having fun react to Daft Punk, Cheerleader, Can't Hold Us, You're a Mean One Mr Grinch, Oh Come All Ye Faithful, and Sing. If you want to hear how phenomenal they are at blending their voices react to My Heart With You, Run to You, and Can You Feel the Love Tonight. Everyone who features a lot of reactions to Pentatonix on TH-cam has their subscriber numbers shoot way up. Hint, Hint.
So glad to see you do this one. You always get to my heart the way you show how each show your pure emotion. You should watch their live performance. They are the same. Also, you should check out Avi's personal songs since he left PTX. As always, much love from a Great Grandma in WA. State.
"They broke me." Yeah they broke me too a long time ago and there is always somebody cutting onions when I watch them now... damn. Thanks Mello. Nice reaction. ❤☮🙏
The Universe has blessed Mitch with the voice of an angel
One correction : GOD has blessed , Mitch with the voice of an Angel
Best "Mitch slap" I have seen in a while. Welcome to Pentatonix. To see how Mitch can sing this high, I recommend The Prayer next.
You were just Mitch Slapped, (Mitch guy in the wide hat) he does this to everyone
Mitch is phenomenal. He's a counter tenor which means his voice is in the stratosphere anyway but he brings his chest voice and head voice together and maintains pitch and control. I'm 69 years old and it's like nothing I've ever heard. His fans have a name for it. It's called being Mitch slapped.
Your reaction to those onions being chopped is why I love music.
Welcome to the wonderful world of a cappella music. Next on the journey should be Home Free, which if someone is cutting onions again, I'd suggest starting with How Great Thou Art and then move to their cover of Boys II Men End of the Road and remember....there are no instruments.
Loved your reaction as always. Someone got " MITCH SLAPPED" LOL. Please react to The Prayer.
😂😂😂 That's epic! I sure did!😂😂😂
Avi Kaplan is Sooooo freaking cute he is one of the originals singers. We needed more of this please... 🤗
Tears....literal tears
They are all amazing but Mitch's voice touches my soul.
As a former choir kid, these videos and reactions are so satisfying 💖🦋
Listen to their version of "Mary, Did You Know?" All the onions. That one gets me EVERY. TIME.
Mitch slapped!!! And that is a great thing!
When Leonard Cohen wrote the song back in the 80s, it was about faith in life, not religious faith.

Sweet! My lady Mellow has found another one my hangups. Tom McDonald, now PTX whom I have loved since '11. Now get to David Phelps and the Righteous Brothers and we're there.
Listen to" Mary did you know" by them. It will rock your world
Yes!
I was about to comment this exact statement
The guy in the hat with the beard is Avi and no longer with Pentatontix, he has his own solo career now. Videos after 2018 is Matt (new bass). Mitch (high notes) is just not of this world.
Wrong the guy with the hat is still there it's the other guy with the white jacket in sounds of silence who isn't there anymore
@steven perez you are not correct. She was talking about the guy with the BEANIE hat with a beard which is Avi, he is not there anymore. Matt, the guy in the white jacket in The Sound of Silence is absolutely still there!!
@@pattiburdick7716 right I realize that now sorry ty for the correction
@steven perez you're welcome 😊
@@pattiburdick7716 👍👍
The way they do this song, It takes you to CHURCH!!!!🙏
I miss Avi he was such a great addition to this group. He was with them when I first came across Pentatonix a few years ago. His voice gets so deep.
Definitely. Then again, I became an instant fan of Matt when they did The Sounds of Silence. 🙂
Mat is really good but I still miss Avi. Glad he’s doing well though.
There's one thing Pentatonix can do I have never heard another acapella group match, and they do it both here, and even more profoundly in the "Imagine" cover: They can sing the exact same notes with identical articulation, so that all five singing a verse sounds like one, profound voice.
I swear, Mitch's high notes always give me the chills
If Hallelujah does this to you, Amazing Grace, Run to You, Say Something , and The Prayer gonna killa ya girl. Don't even start with Christmas music. ENJOY
Check out Home Free' s "Ring of Fire" where Avi is a guest singer
Hey there Mello
Do your heart a favor and listen to Pentatonix song
👇
THE PRAYER 🙏 🙏 🙏
No ones cutting onions your just listening to perfection on another level.
There is a reason that this song has nearly 700 million views on you tube. It that goos live ,too!
One of the interesting tidbits about this arrangement is that Kirstin went a half step higher when she was singing the final chorus of Hallelujah than she did during her solo!

Mitch is a counter tenor which means heccan reach into the soprano range. He has the most unique perfect pure voice you'll ever hear thjs side of heaven.
I would love to see your reaction to their cover of Amazing Grace.
Most breath taking group ever ! PERIOD!
Listen to The Prayer and their new audio release of Prayers for This World. I am sure there will be onions cut during those as well. Loved your reaction. 💕💕
This is by far a stunningly beautiful rendition of this gorgeous song. It hits everyone in the feels. Love it.
They did a live version of this in a Christmas special one year and it is mindblowing how the live version sounds even better than the produced record version. If you get the chance definitely give it a watch!
If you don't have an emotional reaction to this, you have no heart Tears stream every time I hear this and I do so every day.
Lol. Mitch slapped! Try Avi Change on the Rise. Awesome!
I'm so excited you're on this journey. They will touch you in some way with every single song. I also recommend The Prayer, Amazing Grace and the live version of Hallelujah the Christmas Special. Can't wait for more! 💞 Their Chirstmas music is insanely good, and there is a LOT! 🎄🎄

Avi left the group on amicable terms for family reasons. Between Pentatronix, Voiceplay and the individual singers in both groups they’ve started a modern a cappella revolution.
The new guy was the original bass Avi Kaplan, he left in 2017 then Matt Sallee came on board. Their new Christmas album is going to be INSANELY good!
And there it is! She was Mitch slapped pretty hard.
Pentatonix is such a beautiful group. They harmonize so well together. If you like their music you should try Home Free they are also an acapella group who do their own best boxing. Tho should really check them out too.

They always give each other a chance to shine and they really know how to express the emotion of every song they sing. Blessed with the gift of music.
Please do more Pentatonix - everything they do is amazing!
Love your Mitch Slap face when he went high. In fact, I love watching everyone get Mitch Slapped with this video.😊🥰
Goosebumps ever time
The John Cale "hallelujah" is my favourite version of this song. It was also used in a "scrubs" episode
This is one of my all time favorite covers
LOVE his hat too lol
This is my favorite song from them. 👍👍👍❤️
Thank you for reacting to this video
You must now listen and watch..."Amazing Grace", "The Prayer" and "Mary did you Know"
All glory to God hallelujah
I love your reactions! Avi Kaplan (with the beard) was in Bohemian Rhapsody which you reacted to, but he mostly sang bass in that one. Of course, with copyright holds, you may have watched this before that. As others have said, he left the group in late 2017. I hope you react to his solo stuff too.
Yes I really hope you react to Avi's solo stuff. So good! Would recommend Change on the rise or He dont love you right. They are very different but both are great.
I've seen and heard this video a least a 1000 times. And I only just realized that when Avi sings his solo, Kevin covers Scott's baritone part!
Please react to Pentatonix singing Hallelujah
Live on their Christmas Special. Just as good as the video.
I got chills from head to toe
They are Amazing..
Oh how I love your reaction. So much , I'm a new sub. Ptx is amazing. We Pentaholic's are s loyal bunch and... Welcome to the club. They have a live version so you can get a fell of how awesome they are. It will sound the same. Enjoy the PTX rabbit hole.

I cry every time.

They have a video of a live performance of this song it is awesome.
they use the pentatonic scale for their harmonies, blends, etc
A world class group that has no equal.
Please react to Prince “Purple Rain” at the Super Bowl. I feel that you’d love the guitar solo.
Have you done their version of "Mary did you know?" yet? It will bring out the"onions" even more.
What a wonderful reaction! After listening to this countless times, it still gets me every single time and I'm happy you liked it so much. We want more PTX please, I would love so watch you reacting to "Imagine" (more onions!) or "Can you feel the love tonight"
everytime the bass singers take the Lead on a verse, Scott takes over the Bass and it's seemless. Amazing
I’m pretty sure we’d be best friends if we ever met. I had the exact same reaction to that video. I cried and not ashamed to admit it
Amazing Grace
Them onions. 😅😆❤️❤️❤️
Best reaction yet! I feel you!
There live performance at a Xmas show shows they really are that good.
Perfect and Shallow
❤️🙌🙌
I heard them live and they are just as amazing live
That's Mitch with the high tenor. You have been Mitch slapped. That's what we their fans say when he shocks you. I'm a Pentaholic aka fan.
HEAVEN SENT 🙏🙏🙏❣️
I never get tired of hearing their version of that song. And you were just golden! Absolutely 5 star RV!
Pentatonix doesn't do anything in their videos that they can't do live, sounding exactly the same. If you want to go back into the onion cutting room, react to The Prayer, Amazing Grace, and Mary Did You Know.

Mitch is a counter tenor. That’s his natural voice.
Nope
Im glad you got Mitch-Slapped. They are awesome.
Your reaction was great!!!
PTX!!
This song just makes me LOVE my Jesus even more...
Which just goes to show the power of this song about a failed love affair, written by a Jewish Buddhist.
@@shirleymoffat3338 exactly not even a religious song but it feels almost spiritual
When I first seen this, I lost my mind 😆
Great reaction Mello
To see how they put an album our in 2 weeks try watching their Making of the Evergreen Album .
Mitch Slapped gurl!
These guys are so talented
So glad to see you do this one. You always get to my heart the way you show how each show your pure emotion. You should watch their live performance. They are the same. Also, you should check out Avi's personal songs since he left PTX. As always, much love from a Great Grandma in WA. State.
I love this song and this is a wonderful rendention of it.
Beautiful reaction!!!
"They broke me." Yeah they broke me too a long time ago and there is always somebody cutting onions when I watch them now... damn. Thanks Mello. Nice reaction. ❤☮🙏
I loved your reaction sweet momma!
Nice. My PTX addiction has been sated until next time.
When you are ready to do their "Aha Singapore" video, just know that there are several. You'll want the one at the Star Vista.
AMEN.......................
Please listen to the sound of silence, the prayer, and mary have you heard. They are fabulous.
