The joy they have in performing this song makes me happy and makes me smile everytime I listen to it; I don't save it for Christmas time I listen to it year round.
Sir, when they were dicussing this song, Kevin asked them, what they thought of singing it with a African rhythm, like his parents did in Nigeria, in church. A old, old, European song was reborn with an also very old rhythm from the beginning of mankind in Africa. I think you saw the joy on the faces of the gospel choir. We can build something new out of old traditional knowledge, if we are open to other cultures too. You and yours, please stay safe and healthy, and a peaceful holidays to all. German greetings
This is a very African arrangement of this song, in Africa Christmas is a day of church rejoicing, gifts are not part of it . You go to church where you rejoice all day then you celebrate with family.
You never expect a classic Christmas hymn to make you want to jump up and dance. This arrangement is so much fun. One of my favorites, and they have a LOT to choose from. 😄 Also, most of us decided a long time again that PTX isn't human. Prevailing theories are either angels or aliens come down to teach us what music is supposed to be.
Several years ago my daughter did this version for Christmas assembly never thought I would see the day PTX being blasted across a primary school in Western Australia
When you stopped half way through to say "this is the best arrangement i've ever heard"... i had to giggle to myself. I knew it only gets better from there.
I love how they did this arrangement, different than any other version. The best in my opinion. Now wait to see how they do Little Drummer Boy. You will love it!
This is one of my favorites, like Kevin's heritage drove this, but like they all dressed in church appropriate clothes and mostly actually sing in straight.
Avi and Kevin the best rhythm section, right???? Love this performance and really enjoyed your reaction. Please react to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which was Grammy win #2. Cant wait to hear more PTX Christmas.
Who else would think to put that song to a calypso beat? Absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorites. And I have so many favorites from them when it comes to Christmas songs.
PTX definitely turns this traditional hymn on its ear, but it feels right that they made it so joyful and exuberant! I love this arrangement and can’t help dancing when it comes on - thank you for the wonderful reaction.
☺👉Just remember friend PENTATONIX as a whole unit is what creates this ✨MAGIC✨Kevin and Avi laying down the PERFECT foundation for the Trio's IMPECCABLE vocals!. I left you a "small" list on my previous comment of more PTXMAS songs for you. ABSOLUTELY NO ONE arranges songs like PENTATONIX!! They are Acapella Royalty
As I always like to say when a reactor watches this for the first time .... I can tell when the "spirit" hit you. The look on your face when the choir came in full force was so telling. As many times as I've watched this video, I get hit smack upside the head at the same spot. Every time!
♥ The creativity and talent are unmatched. I know what you mean; Avi and Kevin make a great rhythm section for the glorious trio and the trio provide a wonderful melody for the rhythm section. Pentaholics have a saying: Your favorite PTX song is the one you're listening to and your favorite member is the one you're looking at. Keep up these wonderful reactions!!
This is the most joyous song ever!!!! NOW I'm ready for the Season, Christmas is hear!!! Never hear this the same again! Joy just pure JOY!! Great reaction. The bass line and percussion were insane! again just feeling Joy!
This is my favourite PTXmas song! Great reaction. I think you should react to what they do to the most boring Xmas song cover of theirs, 12 Days Of Christmas. I believe you will be blown away with the arrangement, a true PTXmas special.
If someday you react to their Sing-Off journey, one of the judges proclaimed Kevin and Avi the driving force or “meat and potatoes” of the group. Your response is exactly what he was referring to.
As well as the judge's comments about how they always have a surprise or 2 in their arrangements, lol, but I'd say this WHOLE song was a pleasant surprise 💜🙌
@@katelyn4358 Do what? I mean he needs to react to the fist 12 songs of the 5 member Pentatonix. I mean, they met the last two members a couple of days before the audition, and they were sooo good by the time they got to 12. Yeah, we don't want to put it in his head to watch THE ORIGINAL 12 SONGS OF PENTATONIX. you right. 🤔😲😎
@@katelyn4358 Ok, normally you would have a good point. Pentatonix went from nothing to winning a nation wide competition in 1 season. OK, you have a point. Maybe Hallelujah, Sound of Silence, Daft Punk, Bohemian Rhapsody, then sing off? I feel like they keep moving away from a true great group into an over produced group. Well, guess he can read this stuff and decide what to do.
Great reaction. This is by far my favorite Christmas song of theirs. It was such a beautiful surprise the first time I heard it years ago with it’s African beat and strong rhythm section second to none. It never fails to make me sing and dance along with joy every time I hear it 😊🎄
Love this so much. Kevin and Avi start the tempo out of this world. Mitch, Scott and Kirstie amazing. Then a huge backing choir. The joy in the song is just amazing 🤩
I agree with you about this song, it's fantastic. PTX does so many Christmas songs that are phenomenal. But I think your next PTX Christmas song should be the one that earned them a Grammy Award "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" and just work your way out from there. "Little Drummer Boy" is awesome also. What am I saying they are all awesome.
Great review This arrangement was unique asking all to come all you faithful & praise the lord Bringing in the quire while PTX is telling everyone to come forward & praise the lord was amazing. This is how this carol was meant to be sung full of joy & happiness
Acappella and Christmas carols are a made for each other combination. Silent Night, Mary Did You Know, Little Drummer Boy, The First Noel, Angels We Have Heard on High, That's Christmas To Me and their Grammy award winning Dance of the SugarPlum Fairies are required listening. They have many that do not have videos to go with them as well having put out a Christmas album every single year starting in 2012. If you think of a Christmas carol they have probably done it. They had a Christmas special they did in 2016 I think and had Dolly Parton and Reba McIntire on it with them.
Well it does say Joyful and Triumphant. Check! As far as I'm concerned, the star of this performance is the arrangement. And its delivery of course. Tout ensemble.
They are pretty amazing, huh. They have many more Christmas songs which will blow you away. They are great at arranging songs to put their touch on them. Please react to Pentatonix "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".
Every time I think X is the star of the performance, then I think wait what about Y. Finally I’ve stopped thinking like that and just accept that they are all brilliant and that just shows up more or less in each song. Nice reaction.
So many Christmas songs sound like funeral songs! For songs that are supposed to be about joy, they sound dark and depressing. This version of the song puts the JOY back in joyful! Great song and great reaction!
So by now you see why there are so many rabid Pentaholics out here. They usually have a surprise in store, and their Christmas works are no exception. I really am enjoying your PTX discoveries and very happy that you are enjoying this amazing group.
Absolutely love this arrangement. Beautifully sung as always with a large dose of Avi and Kevin. Please react to Avi's solo music as well, it's gorgeous 😍
I was in tears as little watching and feeling your reaction. This song truly brings joy and wonder to anyone who hears it. Pentatonix and Christmas is the perfect combination 💖
I clicked the thumbs up before I even watched the vid, I was sure you'd like it! I love love love your reactions, the sheer joy on your face is amazing to watch. Please do the White Winter Hymnal if you haven't done yet :-)
Same reaction I had when I first heard it. Makes you want to dance and move. Makes me want to really listen and understand the lyrics more. Love your reaction, your face said it all.
Thanks for your reaction! Pentatonix Christmas music is the best as they take all these old songs that we are tired of and turned them all into something special. When you have a chance you may want to check out Avi with Home Free in "Ring Of Fire" or his solo work starting with "Change On The Rise". Kevin Olusola has his own 'KO' channel on You Tube that you may also want to check out starting with his cover of "Down"
Oh yeah; your reaction is just like mine. What, what, where is this going, oh my, what fun, what fun. So worth letting Pentatonic sweep you along - how could I have had any doubts.
I love everything I have ever heard from Pentatonix. This was unexpectedly different than what I expected due to its blending of African/Caribbean rhythms with a touch of southern holy roller influence. Loved it!
Yeah, this was SOOOO way beyond fabulous!! I agree, the beat-boxing and the bass do it for me, too!! T'ward the end there, was, like, an African vibe---reminded me of "The Lion King"; LOVE!! I'm someone who almost NEVER likes when a song is rearranged---until there was Kelly Clarkson.... And Pentatonix!! And they often, somehow, manage to make it even better than the original!! Just when you thought they couldn't possibly get any better....
The entire song had the African vibe-the opening moments have the African drumbeats, the "Eee ay ee ay" is completely an African influence. This is one of my favorite PTX songs ever.
Such a great reaction! I could see a pure suprise on your face right from the beginning - I'm 100% sure I looked exactly the same, when I first heard it 😉 This is such an unexpected arrangement for this song, but it suits so well... It's my most favourite version of this song ♥️
My two favorite PTX Christmas songs (besides this one and The Prayer) are lesser known ones: Angels We Have Heard On High and White Christmas. Angels features two FABULOUS smooth jazz breakdowns, and White Christmas (there was no official video for this one) features a duet with Manhattan Transfer - one of the great groups of jazz! Yeah I'm a fan of smooth jazz! Lol
Brings me to tears every time I listen to PTX’s rendition to this Christmas classic. To me this is how we are to celebrate the birth of Christ! The King of Kings is born, for God’s sake!!! Such great news should be brought in with joy and celebration!
Your reaction was just perfect. THE very best version of this song there has ever been. I've heard it many times and it still brings out the positive emotions every time!
👉PENTATONIX BRINGING ✨MAGIC✨ to old traditional Christmas songs!! YOU MUST CHECKOUT - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - 12 Days Of Christmas - Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy - Deck The Halls - The First Noel - You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch - Joy To The World
Oh...You bet I agree! I love this by them. This is how it should be sung! Nothing ever will hold a candle to PTX Christmas! So unique, epic, superior, fantastic. and the choir too! Never would've thought! Loved your surprised look. Thank you for reacting! Ok next ... Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy and Some Of My Favorite Things.
I have no idea who came up with the idea of turning this ultra-traditional carol into an African Spiritual but OMG it was one incredible transformation. And now my absolute favorite.
I will never be able to listen to another version of O Come All Ye Faithful and not long to hear this one. It is so upbeat, so joyful. Not only does it have the island/African feel to it, but also old-timey joyous gospel. I love this song so much the way Pentatonix performed it.
I think it's kind of funny that Pentatonix, known for doing covers, is now being covered. I've watched several videos of church choirs singing this time honored song in the PTX way. Sounds great with a big choir.
Anither super fun and often overlooked one is their arrangement for Deck the Halls. My grandson (nit quite 2 yet) LOVES their versions of Mr Grinch, and 12 Days of Christmas. But honestly, like others have already said - you just can't go wrong with any of their Christmas music!! Thanks for this reaction!!
Kevin's father is Nigerian, and I think Kevin lobbied to arrange the song with that heritage in mind. It's a STUNNING arrangement.
The little Caribbean flavor in there also comes from Kevin's mother, who is Grenadian!
@@joejoejoe532 Yes, you are right!
I think *maybe* he didn’t so much lobby as simply suggest!
Joyful.....
Kevin's parents are from Nigeria and Grenada. This was a nod to them.
The look of wonder on your face is EVERYTHING.
This is the most joyous, uplifting version of this hymn that I’ve ever heard. Wish we could hear this on the radio at Christmas time.
I have to keep coming back! It's probably the most joyous rendition I've heard!!!
God rest ye merry gentlemen is one to blow your mind.
The joy they have in performing this song makes me happy and makes me smile everytime I listen to it; I don't save it for Christmas time I listen to it year round.
Not expecting that at all....well you ARE listening to PTX....expect the unexpected with this talent....
Sir, when they were dicussing this song, Kevin asked them, what they thought of singing it with a African rhythm, like his parents did in Nigeria, in church. A old, old, European song was reborn with an also very old rhythm from the beginning of mankind in Africa. I think you saw the joy on the faces of the gospel choir.

This version: Best Christmas Song Ever!
Definitely an African influence there!❤️
Yes! I think Kevin's Nigerian background helped make this song so special.
You must,must must check out Mary did you know. Gives me shivers no matter how often I hear it.
Love the African feel to this one. Wouldn't think it would work, but it does!
When you think you have heard all the variations of a song, along comes PTX
YESS, that's THAT smile 😁
You never expect a classic Christmas hymn to make you want to jump up and dance. This arrangement is so much fun. One of my favorites, and they have a LOT to choose from. 😄
Also, most of us decided a long time again that PTX isn't human. Prevailing theories are either angels or aliens come down to teach us what music is supposed to be.
The beauty of Pentatonix: take a classic and turn it upside down and sideways and still make it classically beautiful.
Several years ago my daughter did this version for Christmas assembly never thought I would see the day PTX being blasted across a primary school in Western Australia
I absolutely love the look of wonder on your face. This group is incredible. Their Christmas music is endless.
Someone who spells her name the same as me… I pronounce mine Tam’ uh ruh
@@G-grandma_Army I pronounce it the same way lol
Joyful joyful!!
this semi-transparent thing is neat
When you stopped half way through to say "this is the best arrangement i've ever heard"... i had to giggle to myself. I knew it only gets better from there.
This song seems to fill every listener (and singer)
with joy!
It only took one time hearing this to make it my all-time “feel-good favorite!” 💞💞💞
I love how they did this arrangement, different than any other version. The best in my opinion. Now wait to see how they do Little Drummer Boy. You will love it!
This is one of my favorites, like Kevin's heritage drove this, but like they all dressed in church appropriate clothes and mostly actually sing in straight.
This should be the new standard for performing this carol. It is absolutely joyful, the way the song was meant to be sung.
I love how joyful it is. Sometimes it is sung much more seriously and with less energy. This is such a bright version!
Avi and Kevin the best rhythm section, right???? Love this performance and really enjoyed your reaction. Please react to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy which was Grammy win #2. Cant wait to hear more PTX Christmas.
Who else would think to put that song to a calypso beat? Absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorites. And I have so many favorites from them when it comes to Christmas songs.
I couldn't agree with you more.
One of the best renditions ever!!! Just got "Mitch slapped"...
PTX definitely turns this traditional hymn on its ear, but it feels right that they made it so joyful and exuberant! I love this arrangement and can’t help dancing when it comes on - thank you for the wonderful reaction.

Hands down the favorite version of this song. Using Kevin’s Nigerian roots for the rhythm. Adding the choir? This is just spectacular!
As I always like to say when a reactor watches this for the first time .... I can tell when the "spirit" hit you. The look on your face when the choir came in full force was so telling. As many times as I've watched this video, I get hit smack upside the head at the same spot. Every time!
You should check out their covers of

Great reaction!! This is my favorite Christmas arrangement PTX has ever done.
I knew you were going to be blown away by this, as we all were the first, second, millionth time we heard it! 😀
I think you Brits have a word for your reaction "gob-smacked"! They are amazing. Thanks so much!,
Great reaction. They did this so well! Would definitely recommend Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy or God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman.
This is the most joyous song ever!!!! NOW I'm ready for the Season, Christmas is hear!!! Never hear this the same again! Joy just pure JOY!! Great reaction. The bass line and percussion were insane! again just feeling Joy!
Totally agree! The lyrics state “ sing in exultation” and PTX delivers!

"12 Days of Christmas" seems to be popular in the UK... then try PTX version...
I can't listen to another version of this song anymore. This tops them all.
A distinctively wonderful creative vocal magic !
I knew you would love this one 😂
Same reaction I had when I first heard it. Makes you want to dance and move. Makes me want to really listen and understand the lyrics more. Love your reaction, your face said it all.
OH thanks you thanks you !!!!!!! :)
