In this case, she looked as though she needed to laugh out loud, break down sobbing, and shudder with pleasure all at the same time. It's a mesmerizing reaction.
Best. Mitch-slap. Ever. Your entire reaction video for this song is hands down the best one I've ever watched for this song, you embodied everything I felt, and still feel, when I listen to Pentatonix sing Hallelujah. Thanks so much for bringing new life to those feelings for me!
Jesus Holy Christ, this was one HELL OF A REACTION!!! I’ve heard this song 1,000 times, and you just made me feel like I just heard it for the first time.
I literally paused and thought this because I have watched it many times now and how I could feel her excitement radiating through. Then the first comment I see is this... What..
Wow!!! One of the most detailed breakdowns on my favorite Pentatonix piece…outstanding…love her passion and amazing voice too…thank you! - twin dragon 🤓🎶👍👍👍👍🏞🏓🚴🏼♂️🌻
My dear child, you have just set a new bar as a reactor. You've just given us the best reaction on planet Earth to the best vocal group on planet Earth. Watching your body involuntarily react to their vocal Talent was extraordinary.
HOLY HELL. How do you manage to fangirl out AND teach a vocal masterclass in 13 mins??!! Love your approach and your voice, and I sincerely hope you do more PTX reactions!!
I love how you casually keep singing the most difficult parts of the songs in your reactions, delivering them to perfection. You are gorgeous inside (voice and personality) and out. Thank you for existing. It brightens my day.
Hands down, bar none - the best reaction I've ever seen/heard to one of the most amazing arrangements of this already incredible song. Her passion and considerable singing ability lend so much weight to the observations she's making. Like pretty much everyone who knows this song, I didn't need much convincing of its quality. Pentatonix's treatment elevated it that much further and watching this reaction (and I have several times 🙂 ) just hammers home for me how astounding it is. I loved the reaction after Mitch's entrance and the whole "warm, bass, powerful, *this guy!*" progression sums up a lot of their performances, for me.
You are so spot on Bob. This is a brilliant analysis with the raw glee we see in so many others who react to this piece. Nailed it. But it really does speak to the power of Pentatonix' art that someone who can so clinically hear all the technical tshings going on can also be so emotionally moved and brought to tears. I wish I knew what the real name is of The Fairy Voice Mother. She is just lovely. A delight to witness...
@@alexk73 I think it's encouraging to know that any type of singing voice can find an audience. His voice truly is just so wonderfully different though.
My god you are awesome. Seriously, there are a million musical reactions to this song... this may be my favourite. You clearly love music with all your heart and soul, you have a great energy, I've never seen someone make such technical explanations so easy to understand, and Jesus can you sing also.... the way you just casually perfectly hammered on several of the big notes of this song mid explanation was wild. Well done, I hope your channel continues to grow, you deserve it.
I am 67 years old and have been moved by music since I was a young boy. I believe our souls were made to respond to music. I often spend my evening seeking out soul-speaking music on TH-cam from every genre. And I have watched literally thousands of reactions. I love this song and can't count how many times I've watched it. I have now watched two of your reactions and of the hundreds of reviewers I have seen, you stand alone as the best - knowledge, insight, talent, passion, heart, soul, ... Thank you so much.
I will NEVER get tired of seeing vocal coach first-time reactions to Mitch and his perfect "what if a natural countertenor went all-in on a beautiful, clear chest and mix pop voice". And this track is an EXCELLENT demonstration of how they know exactly how to set him up in the arrangement to ensure a massive emotional hit, when a piece calls for it. Just.... That perfect harmony build up that dies away to leave nothing but his crystal clear straight tone at *just* the perfect point in the song's story. It gets me every time, even after years of frequently listening to this cover.
And they learned how effective setting Mitch up like that is when they competed on "The Sing-Off" (which they won), specifically, on the (week 12?) song "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine. The first time an entire audience and judges were Mitch-slapped.
@@destinycircle8192 this was my first thought as well. they know what kind of weapon Mitch can be and demonstrated it all the way back on the Sing Off.
Your JOY, your EMOTIONS, your ENTHUSIASM and your AMAZING ANALYSIS of their performances has me watching your reaction video MULTIPLE times!! You’re so much fun to watch with your raw and honest emotions…a TRUE and GLORIOUS REACTOR YOU ARE!! THANK YOU!! I have just subscribed to your channel :-)!!!
DITTO!! I love her expressions and her excitement pack that with her own AMAZING voice and wow knowledge of music!! LOVE HER!! >>> YOU~Fairy Voice Mother :)
I have listened to so many reactions to this song 🎵 🎶 ? & to be quite honest ? Everyone is not only speechless,? But also can't explain the music the way a professional such as u could. I have enjoyed watching u enjoy the music? but enjoyed how u broke it down, and explained in detail how the music sounded, & why ! Thank you so much, I learned something new today Thanks, & BTW? You have a beautiful voice as well ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 keep doing what u do!.
OMG this comment: "The buildup. The intensity...just divinely with these lead performance: Warm, bass, powerful....THIS GUY ! ! !" Mitch is unusually gifted in his upper countertenor range....😇
I've watched so many people react to this but it was the first time I cried tears of happiness due to someone else's tears of happiness for a song reaction. Thank you so much
Watching you laugh and smile and at times shed a tear. You are the most genuinely honest reactor I've seen. I can see the deep-rooted love for music illuminating from your soul and it's very refreshing.
It's been a while since this song has made me cry but watching you feel it so strongly brought tears to my eyes. I really hope you check out more of their music. They have a cover of The Prayer by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli that is just beautiful
Has anybody nentioned what an astonishing voice and vocal range you have?? I’ve seen a lot of reaction videos like a lot of other folks, but you’re in a league of your own. You have an uncanny ability to perfectly re-create both male and female vocals and you’re spot on every time.
You are a gem among gems. In addition to being the best “Hallelujah” reaction I have ever seen, your ability to breakdown vocal arrangements and vocal techniques are next level! I was equally blown away by your own incredible range, dynamics, and hands-on approach using your amazing voice to demonstrate the vocal intricacies and instrumentation explaining the chord progressions and a bit of music theory. Your passion and emotion brought yet another level of awesomeness. You are truly special!
So glad you recognized and pointed out Avi's tone. He has a great range, but no matter how high he sings, you can hear that depth and "heaviness". Scott (the baritone who lead the first verse" picks up the bassline in the second verse, and hits the notes bang on, but not with the same richness. Great reaction! You've now been officially "Mitch-slapped" (Mitch is the high tenor who sang the last verse) :)
This is why I love Avi and why I struggle with Matt. Matt is super talented and a great fit for the band (maybe a better fit than Avi in some ways), but Avi is special and he's the reason I fell in love with PTX.
I also fell in love with Avriel's voice first. Because I love a Bass Voice in a man then I seriously fell for the other voices and Kevin the multi talented genius. I love Avi's solo music.
Right ON! Love your precise interpretation of the song. You also have an incredible tonality and tremolo when you sing your followup notes. I do love your Red hair. By the way. Mitchslspped by their countertenor eh? He is worth talking about, being as how he usually stands out in their usual gigs due, no doubt, to his crystal clear tones. He also never LOOKS the same. Not only in how he is dressed to how he keeps his hair styled.
This was one of THE best reactions and analyses of Hallelujah that I have ever seen. Simply incredible. My favorite part was: "Warm, Bass, Powerful, *THIS* Guy!"
After watching your channel for 2 years, I was beginning to think you had some kind of aversion to a cappella music. Little did I know that you would explode with emotions that would run the gamut. Just Avi humming sent you to a place of ecstasy that was glorious to behold. Lolli, this has to be my favorite of your reactions. Pure bliss. Your appreciation of their excellence was impossible to contain. I'm so glad that you can't hide it. This is why your the best.
Seconded. particularly "oogie boogie" nor "moana" wouldn't be a waste of time, Although you'll probably have to go through them more than once just to process everything that is happening in the background.
Voiceplay for sure, their version of hoist the colors is my favorite but oogie boogie was the first one i ever saw and hooked me. Theres really no bad voiceplay video
I just adore your enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge, especially for this version of Hallelujah, which gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. You can't go wrong with anything Pentatonic does, but another personal favorite for me is their cover of "Gold" by Kiiara. Awesome. Have a wonderful day, you gorgeous human being.
To really appreciate the PTX cover of Gold, you have to listen to at least a few seconds of the original. The original singer (Kiiara) had to use sampling and looping and autotune, and doesn't even attempt it when singing the song live - her keyboardist plays it on a synthesizer. Mitch does it naturally, and seemingly effortlessly. The intricate "round" singing the Trio does in the last part of the song makes for an interesting new take on the song, as well.
One of the best reactions / analyses I have seen on their performance of Hallelujah so far! I really enjoyed it. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Next I recommend: Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace or „Daft Punk“. (And warning: Avi „Base guy“ has left the group some years ago, but his successor Matt is also a great base singer!)
His replacement Matt is nowhere near the bass* that Avi is. They could have and should have found a much better bass to replace Avi. There are TONS of wonderful basses out there that can hit the notes Avi could and rather than pick a single one of them, they chose Matt.
English is wonky. Base would be a Plate in Baseball, or a Military compound. Bass are the low singers, a low guitar, or a type of Fish (the fish is the only one pronounced differently).
Ok... I have watched this literally DOZENS of times, and I still tear 😢 up w/her at the end! This is by far, hands down one of the best reaction videos out there. The F/V/M seems genuinely moved by the performance, and actually reacted instead of performing for the camera like a lot of reactors do. Keep up the good work F/V/M... I will keep watching.
What a delightful and knowledgeable reaction! Pretty much everyone is touched by Pentatonix, but not everyone understands why the way that you do. I look forward to hearing more from you!
I don't know if u read the comments but it's a privilege to watch someone like yourself to get so emotional about something. The knowledge you bring, plus instead of bringing people down, you compliment them and encourage. It's a privilege for myself to watch your reactions .Thank you!!!!! Stay true to yourself and you will never be disappointed.
Oh God it's a dream come true!! Lol. I knew you'd appreciate everything they do. How spectacular they really are. I hope and pray you'll add more to you're channel with ptx.
Watching someone discover this video for the first time never gets old. Consequently, I've done so innumerable times. Past experience has taught me to be leery of the "analyses" part so I almost didn't click on this one, but I'm so happy I did. Your analyses was entertaining and upbeat and your honest reaction to the music allowed me to have full body chills right along with you. Your reaction is to reaction videos what Pentatonix is to a cappella. You've gained a subscriber and I'm hoping you'll be going down the Pentatonix rabbit hole so I can go along for the ride.
You broke this down to a molecular level. I'm no musician/singer but how you gave the structure and nuances to this was very well done. Thank you for that.
You're Spot on with so much you had to say about them. They truly are the Best at what they do. They have done over 200 songs, and as hard as it is to believe, they just keep getting better. You absolutely cannot go wrong with listening to any of their songs. A lot of times even their covers are an improvement. By the way, loved your reaction, and I also Love Your Voice.😊
I absolutely love just how much you are visibly enjoying this. Can see the chills. The big smiles and tears. Seeing music and singing cause so much joy is always top tier. 😁 I've watched this exact video of theirs countless times and your reactions have me tearing up like it's the first time😅
Oh…and the man doing percussion is Kevin…he’s a master cellist, speaks Mandarin fluently, has perfect pitch, actually had a beautiful higher voice as well.. check out his solo Down… really good.
I love them all but he is magical. There’s just a confident magic to him that draws a person in. She was right that he drew them along with the stomps etc. so powerful and incredible. They killed it for sure but Kevin caught my attention the most. So beautiful.
OMG, I wish you were my music teacher when I was in school. Your analysis is amazing. The singing was amazing, but when you described how Kevins percussion just “drive their voice’s along…”Perfectly stated. He along with the base, is the wind beneath their wings. Absolutely amazing!
I LOVED your comments on this. You approached this with the joy of an expert watching masters. You hit on everything they do well. The arrangements, the timbres, the shape and direction of the song, the harmonies, the references... Effortlessly knowledgeable and not made cynical by your knowledge. It's clear you're passionate by the way you can't help but laugh. Thank you for the joyful reaction.
Your reaction to being Mitch-slapped, was moving and tender. I, too, choke up when Mitch sings. All of the members of Pentatonix are on a whole Nother playing level from the rest of the singers on this planet. Thanks for a great reaction! I just subscribed, because you are a special one! ❤
Thank you Lolli. I’m a 65 year old trumpet player and remember unexpectedly being brought to tears by the sopranos when performing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” in high school. Thank you for explaining the biological mechanics and techniques that affect me so powerfully. Most of all, thank you for sharing your joy. Please keep it up.
I love your vibe, personality and overall outlook on life and humans in general; honestly such an amazing reaction. Thanks for the positivity you exude, it's infectious and appreciated more than you know ❤
Your reaction to this song is my favorite reaction of all time......you were so moved that you moved all of us too.....you are a true musician/singer......your soul just has to react to good music....thank you so much......you move me every time I watch this....
Who else would love to see our Fairy voice mother have a face-cam live broadcasting whilst at a Pentatonix performance? You're reactions are just beautiful, emotional, exciting, and a boat load of other emotions... NEVER CHANGE!
The best part of watching reactors hearing PTX sing this as their introduction to the group, is the reactions to hearing Kirstie and the viewer knowing what's about to happen.
I always feel sorry for Kirstie, who is glorious beyond words, because I'm like, "All other thoughts being vaporised in 3, 2, 1, take it away, Mitch." 😁 That being said, those who know music always give credit where credit is due. They're all magnificent in this.
@@jimcollier4114 Absolutely. This is yet another example of them all singing the exact part that allows them to shine. Kirstie getting those final belts was what I wanted from the song, and as soon as I got that, I was just so content that Mitch got the rest of the lead because he just smashes it.
now THIS was a reaction. holy crap. your reactions are exactly how i am qhen i hear something that takes my whole body into a supernatural levitation feeling. i love how passionate you are. its refreshing.
I have seen countless reactions to this video and yours is one of the best I've seen ❤ Not only did u express pleasure and emotion while listening to it, but also provided relevant and interesting music knowledge. As many times as I've heard this, I never noticed Scott doing the word painting with up and fall. I hope you do more PTX 😁
I always noticed that - but I never realized they were singing arpeggiated chords until she pointed that out. It's always nice to learn something new about an old favorite.
You are the best damn reactor on the youtube, you are funny as hell, and your videos are brilliantly edited to accentuate said humor. You never fail to crack me up. On top of that, your love, skill and passion shine through in the way you talk and break down the songs you watch, Lastly, there is beautiful layer of vulnerability you allow yourself to share with us that is touching and helps us connect to what you are feeling and saying even better. I can always count on an entertaining, funny, smart, analytical and heart felt reaction, and the music nerd in you will always shine though, which is great. Thanks for all the great content you provide :)
As much as I have enjoyed many times the output of PTX, I have equally enjoyed the output of you enjoying PTX. I subscribed because you are not crap as a analyst and commentator - You are simply put - Awesome
This was BY FAR the best reaction video of this song I’ve watched. As others have said, I felt I was watching it fresh and the observations helped me appreciate this performance even more. Your own talent and passion add so much.
I have never seen anyone react to music exactly as I do! I FEEL every note, I become emotional sometimes...music is so much more powerful than some people realize. I loved your reaction to the AMAZING PTX!
You are so gorgeous, I was honestly crying watching your reaction to this performance, I watched as your whole body reacted to a range of emotions and you made me feel them along with you, I don't usually show emotions let alone feel some but you took me through more emotions in the 13 minutes of this video than I've felt in the last 2 years, well done, God bless you and keep you doing what you do so well, and lovely voice too almost the perfect package and red hair, perfection Greetings from Australia.
You're amazing. I love your breakdowns and descriptions of peoples' voices. I know I love the sounds, but I don't always know what techniques the singers are using. You clarify that. So cool!
Yasssss!!! So glad you’re finding them out now! Check out their versions of “Sound of Silence”, “90s Medley”, “Daft Punk Medley”, & “Amazing Grace”. Avi (bass) left the group amicably at some point and has made a great solo career for himself. That being said, there is a different bass singer for “Sound of Silence “Amazing Grace”, named Matt (still wonderful). & they do all their own arrangements 😊 and they sound just the same live!
Mitch slapped perfectly. Loved how you got so excited with Kirstie and it was perfect to see you . Fantastic reaction. love to see you do more of them because they have an amazing catalogue.
You reacted exactly how everybody that clicked on this video hoped somebody who knew what they were hearing would. Perfect job reacting to maybe the most perfect song and performance of it that exists
Fairy Voice Mother thank you! I woke up a bit down today but your infectious exuberance is just so full of life it brightened my day! A rare quality to match your physical beauty as well! I’m old and disabled so I can get away with complimenting a woman’s beauty without insulting anyone! 🤡 So again thank you! What a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song! Working your way through tears was both precious and endearing. With the crazy tragic world roaring around us, God allows a spark of what we can be and what we will be one day and these young people take us to a transcendent moment and a yearning that resides so deep while we live here in this place that can not possibly satiate it. Having watched a few reactions all with the same response just clearly shows that when you strip away the physical we obsess over, we all have the same needs and desires and one day they will be met with perfect love and unity. Precious moments for sure! God Bless you young lady!
You're so adorable, and genuine. It really came across how much that affected you. When it comes to acapella I'm more of a Home Free fan but this song is excellence.
You have to check out: "Sound of Silence", "Imagine", "Daft Punk Medley", and "Run to you" (PTX original) - I'm looking forward to watching you experience them for the first time.
I like her passionate speech, "some humans do terrible things, but some do this", just a kindly reminder of how we choose to use our time in this earth have an effect to another human.
Thanks for musing about the arrangement. A lot of reactors miss this aspect. Ben Bram, a Grammy-winning genius, provides the structure. Then Pentatonix hashes it out at rehearsal until they discover the secret sauce. It is a truly extraordinary collaboration.
I only needed to see this one reaction to have you jump to the top of my list for reactors. I can tell immediately that you know what you're talking about when it comes to music theory. You're so obviously move emotionally from hearing this for the first time. You can't fake that. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'm definitely going to do a deep dive of all your reactions now. :)
My honest reaction to this reaction is that I feel I have found my spirit animal. It's so refreshing to have all of the same feelings reflected on the screen
I am SO GLAD that someone else in this world seems to have the same appreciation and is affected by music like this as I do! THANKS for this reaction!! HUGS!!

“Some people do terrible s**t. Terrible, terrible s**t…but some of them do this!” Best. Reaction. Ever.
So very, very true.

I think it made me appreciate her passion for the music. This was a great reaction. One of the best I’ve seen. Fantastic voice, too.
Me too. What I loved most was her honest facial reactions. Was not sure if she was going to cry or have an....

The Mitch-slap never gets old.
If this doesn't touch your soul, you don't have one.
But people commenting on it has been old for awhile now

RIGHT 100%.
This reaction was a love story, written with a skillful pen, enclosed in a beautiful envelope, and addressed to everyone. Extraordinary.
Wonderful reaction! I'm going to remember this sentiment of yours: "Some people do terrible sh*t. But some of them do THIS!" Beautiful.
Yes. Most concise and accurate description of our species I have heard.

Boy, in these times and the state of the world, if there ever a sentiment worth remembering this is it!

Mitch is a Counter Tenor, I think!🧐

And they learned how effective setting Mitch up like that is when they competed on "The Sing-Off" (which they won), specifically, on the (week 12?) song "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine. The first time an entire audience and judges were Mitch-slapped.
Me too, Pax. I've probably heard this performance 1000 times, and each time I am deeply moved.

Oh yes, react to The Prayer. Could be Pentatonix's best work.
And if belting is your thing, you'll love their cover of "The Prayer."
Watching her reaction brought tears to my eyes as well. As good as this version is, watching their live version is even better. 🙂👍

I was equally blown away by your own incredible range, dynamics, and hands-on approach using your amazing voice to demonstrate the vocal intricacies and instrumentation explaining the chord progressions and a bit of music theory. Your passion and emotion brought yet another level of awesomeness. You are truly special!
This reaction is phenomenal, not only for its analytics but your natural reactions! Best Pentatonix reaction I've ever seen. Comfortably
I lol-ed at the nicknames buildup:
Scott - Warm
Avi - Bass
Kirstin - Powerful
Mitch - THIS GUY 😆
Thanks for another fantastic video!
Don't forget Kevin with the twinkle in his eye. 😊
I cracked up at this. Mitch has a new nickname now and I hope it sticks. XD Seriously though, loved this reaction and vocal analysis.
So glad you recognized and pointed out Avi's tone. He has a great range, but no matter how high he sings, you can hear that depth and "heaviness". Scott (the baritone who lead the first verse" picks up the bassline in the second verse, and hits the notes bang on, but not with the same richness. Great reaction! You've now been officially "Mitch-slapped" (Mitch is the high tenor who sang the last verse) :)
This is why I love Avi and why I struggle with Matt. Matt is super talented and a great fit for the band (maybe a better fit than Avi in some ways), but Avi is special and he's the reason I fell in love with PTX.
I also fell in love with Avriel's voice first. Because I love a Bass Voice in a man then I seriously fell for the other voices and Kevin the multi talented genius. I love Avi's solo music.
Right ON! Love your precise interpretation of the song. You also have an incredible tonality and tremolo when you sing your followup notes. I do love your Red hair. By the way. Mitchslspped by their countertenor eh? He is worth talking about, being as how he usually stands out in their usual gigs due, no doubt, to his crystal clear tones. He also never LOOKS the same. Not only in how he is dressed to how he keeps his hair styled.
☺
#mitchslapped
❤❤❤ you crying too this one. Just so pure, so honest, and beautiful. Thanks for sharing. 🙏
Congratulations to Kirstie on the recent birth of her beautiful baby girl! 🍼
0:54 Lolli’s immediate visceral reaction tells you she’s the real deal. 🥹
I come back here every once in a while lol, such a joy. I love the outburst of "his voice is extraordinary"
This was one of THE best reactions and analyses of Hallelujah that I have ever seen. Simply incredible. My favorite part was: "Warm, Bass, Powerful, *THIS* Guy!"
You are just the sweetest. Just precious.
Right ON, Ms. Anna,...this reactor is quite sweet and also has quite a beautiful voice as well!👍🦬♊
After watching your channel for 2 years, I was beginning to think you had some kind of aversion to a cappella music. Little did I know that you would explode with emotions that would run the gamut. Just Avi humming sent you to a place of ecstasy that was glorious to behold. Lolli, this has to be my favorite of your reactions. Pure bliss. Your appreciation of their excellence was impossible to contain. I'm so glad that you can't hide it. This is why your the best.
Your reaction and analysis are EXTRAORDINARY, so as a subscriber to your station I experienced two EXTRAORDINARY performances.
This was such an authentic and raw reaction. I loved every minute of it.
Genuine reaction and analysis where music truly moves the soul. No fakers here. Love your work. Voiceplay is worth watching too.
Seconded. particularly "oogie boogie" nor "moana" wouldn't be a waste of time, Although you'll probably have to go through them more than once just to process everything that is happening in the background.
Voiceplay for sure, their version of hoist the colors is my favorite but oogie boogie was the first one i ever saw and hooked me. Theres really no bad voiceplay video
I'd love to see more her reacting to more Pentatonix tho. Especially those where Mitch Grassi gets to shine the most.
I just adore your enthusiasm, passion, and knowledge, especially for this version of Hallelujah, which gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. You can't go wrong with anything Pentatonic does, but another personal favorite for me is their cover of "Gold" by Kiiara. Awesome.
Have a wonderful day, you gorgeous human being.
Gold absolutely! Done in a live take, yet they make it look so easy and relaxed...
To really appreciate the PTX cover of Gold, you have to listen to at least a few seconds of the original. The original singer (Kiiara) had to use sampling and looping and autotune, and doesn't even attempt it when singing the song live - her keyboardist plays it on a synthesizer. Mitch does it naturally, and seemingly effortlessly. The intricate "round" singing the Trio does in the last part of the song makes for an interesting new take on the song, as well.
One of the best reactions / analyses I have seen on their performance of Hallelujah so far! I really enjoyed it. Welcome to the PTX rabbit hole. Next I recommend: Sound of Silence, Amazing Grace or „Daft Punk“. (And warning: Avi „Base guy“ has left the group some years ago, but his successor Matt is also a great base singer!)
His replacement Matt is nowhere near the bass* that Avi is. They could have and should have found a much better bass to replace Avi. There are TONS of wonderful basses out there that can hit the notes Avi could and rather than pick a single one of them, they chose Matt.
English is wonky.
Base would be a Plate in Baseball, or a Military compound.
Bass are the low singers, a low guitar, or a type of Fish (the fish is the only one pronounced differently).
Don't forget Can You Feel the Love Tonight
I've seen a ton of Pentatonix reactions and this is the best one I've ever seen. Such raw emotion! I will now binge your reactions lol
"warm, base, powerful, THIS GUY" sums it up prefectly
@@jfree672
Bass ( but yeah, I agree)
Pentatonix at their best is a spiritual experience. Watching people have a visceral reaction to this is all the proof we need that they are special.
Ok... I have watched this literally DOZENS of times, and I still tear 😢 up w/her at the end! This is by far, hands down one of the best reaction videos out there. The F/V/M seems genuinely moved by the performance, and actually reacted instead of performing for the camera like a lot of reactors do.
Keep up the good work F/V/M... I will keep watching.
What a delightful and knowledgeable reaction! Pretty much everyone is touched by Pentatonix, but not everyone understands why the way that you do. I look forward to hearing more from you!
I don't know if u read the comments but it's a privilege to watch someone like yourself to get so emotional about something. The knowledge you bring, plus instead of bringing people down, you compliment them and encourage. It's a privilege for myself to watch your reactions .Thank you!!!!! Stay true to yourself and you will never be disappointed.
10:28 when harmonisation is so good it literally brings one to tears. 🥲
Oh God it's a dream come true!! Lol. I knew you'd appreciate everything they do. How spectacular they really are. I hope and pray you'll add more to you're channel with ptx.
Watching someone discover this video for the first time never gets old. Consequently, I've done so innumerable times. Past experience has taught me to be leery of the "analyses" part so I almost didn't click on this one, but I'm so happy I did.
Your analyses was entertaining and upbeat and your honest reaction to the music allowed me to have full body chills right along with you. Your reaction is to reaction videos what Pentatonix is to a cappella. You've gained a subscriber and I'm hoping you'll be going down the Pentatonix rabbit hole so I can go along for the ride.
You broke this down to a molecular level. I'm no musician/singer but how you gave the structure and nuances to this was very well done. Thank you for that.
You're Spot on with so much you had to say about them. They truly are the Best at what they do. They have done over 200 songs, and as hard as it is to believe, they just keep getting better. You absolutely cannot go wrong with listening to any of their songs. A lot of times even their covers are an improvement. By the way, loved your reaction, and I also Love Your Voice.😊
I absolutely love just how much you are visibly enjoying this. Can see the chills. The big smiles and tears. Seeing music and singing cause so much joy is always top tier. 😁 I've watched this exact video of theirs countless times and your reactions have me tearing up like it's the first time😅
Oh…and the man doing percussion is Kevin…he’s a master cellist, speaks Mandarin fluently, has perfect pitch, actually had a beautiful higher voice as well.. check out his solo Down… really good.
Don't forget he also went to Yale for pre med (I think he might be qualified to be a doctor??)
I love them all but he is magical. There’s just a confident magic to him that draws a person in. She was right that he drew them along with the stomps etc. so powerful and incredible. They killed it for sure but Kevin caught my attention the most. So beautiful.
@@EmpoDaddy99 He's not a doctor and didn't do any doctor training, but he wanted to before choosing music over medicine.
Thank you for opening yourself up to this rendition and showing us how it moved you. A thing of beauty and why we love you.
I go to this song now and.then. Never saw this reaction before. Love it.
And gave your reaction a like too.
OMG, I wish you were my music teacher when I was in school. Your analysis is amazing. The singing was amazing, but when you described how Kevins percussion just “drive their voice’s along…”Perfectly stated. He along with the base, is the wind beneath their wings. Absolutely amazing!
I LOVED your comments on this. You approached this with the joy of an expert watching masters. You hit on everything they do well. The arrangements, the timbres, the shape and direction of the song, the harmonies, the references... Effortlessly knowledgeable and not made cynical by your knowledge. It's clear you're passionate by the way you can't help but laugh. Thank you for the joyful reaction.
Your reactions are like a gift. How lucky kids must be to have you as their Fairy Voice Mother.
Your reaction to being Mitch-slapped, was moving and tender. I, too, choke up when Mitch sings. All of the members of Pentatonix are on a whole Nother playing level from the rest of the singers on this planet. Thanks for a great reaction! I just subscribed, because you are a special one! ❤
Thank you Lolli. I’m a 65 year old trumpet player and remember unexpectedly being brought to tears by the sopranos when performing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” in high school.
Thank you for explaining the biological mechanics and techniques that affect me so powerfully.
Most of all, thank you for sharing your joy. Please keep it up.
I love your vibe, personality and overall outlook on life and humans in general; honestly such an amazing reaction. Thanks for the positivity you exude, it's infectious and appreciated more than you know ❤
Holy hell. I think we had the same emotions. I've seen reactions to this video multiple times, but none as intense, honest and amazing as this.
Your reaction to this song is my favorite reaction of all time......you were so moved that you moved all of us too.....you are a true musician/singer......your soul just has to react to good music....thank you so much......you move me every time I watch this....
Who else would love to see our Fairy voice mother have a face-cam live broadcasting whilst at a Pentatonix performance? You're reactions are just beautiful, emotional, exciting, and a boat load of other emotions... NEVER CHANGE!
The best part of watching reactors hearing PTX sing this as their introduction to the group, is the reactions to hearing Kirstie and the viewer knowing what's about to happen.
I always feel sorry for Kirstie, who is glorious beyond words, because I'm like, "All other thoughts being vaporised in 3, 2, 1, take it away, Mitch." 😁 That being said, those who know music always give credit where credit is due. They're all magnificent in this.
@@TeapotNinja the way the song is arranged allows you to appreciate everyone's part, and that appreciation builds just like the song builds.
@@jimcollier4114 Absolutely. This is yet another example of them all singing the exact part that allows them to shine. Kirstie getting those final belts was what I wanted from the song, and as soon as I got that, I was just so content that Mitch got the rest of the lead because he just smashes it.
So true
You ain’t fooling me. I’m right there with you crying my eyes out. So glad to share it. They are incredible. Even better with you.
Loved, loved your emotional response. Also, loved learning new things by listening to your analysis.
now THIS was a reaction. holy crap. your reactions are exactly how i am qhen i hear something that takes my whole body into a supernatural levitation feeling. i love how passionate you are. its refreshing.
This song moves me to tears every single time!!! It hits my heart that I have safeguarded intensely…until this song is played♥️
Me too
I have seen countless reactions to this video and yours is one of the best I've seen ❤
Not only did u express pleasure and emotion while listening to it, but also provided relevant and interesting music knowledge. As many times as I've heard this, I never noticed Scott doing the word painting with up and fall. I hope you do more PTX 😁
I always noticed that - but I never realized they were singing arpeggiated chords until she pointed that out. It's always nice to learn something new about an old favorite.
You are the best damn reactor on the youtube, you are funny as hell, and your videos are brilliantly edited to accentuate said humor. You never fail to crack me up. On top of that, your love, skill and passion shine through in the way you talk and break down the songs you watch, Lastly, there is beautiful layer of vulnerability you allow yourself to share with us that is touching and helps us connect to what you are feeling and saying even better. I can always count on an entertaining, funny, smart, analytical and heart felt reaction, and the music nerd in you will always shine though, which is great. Thanks for all the great content you provide :)
I could ( and probably will ) watch this over and over because it's pentatonix and your reaction
As much as I have enjoyed many times the output of PTX, I have equally enjoyed the output of you enjoying PTX. I subscribed because you are not crap as a analyst and commentator - You are simply put - Awesome
This was BY FAR the best reaction video of this song I’ve watched. As others have said, I felt I was watching it fresh and the observations helped me appreciate this performance even more. Your own talent and passion add so much.
I have never seen anyone react to music exactly as I do! I FEEL every note, I become emotional sometimes...music is so much more powerful than some people realize. I loved your reaction to the AMAZING PTX!
There's nothing like watching a true music lover go into bliss spasms listening to great music. Glad you enjoyed this.
You are so gorgeous, I was honestly crying watching your reaction to this performance, I watched as your whole body reacted to a range of emotions and you made me feel them along with you, I don't usually show emotions let alone feel some but you took me through more emotions in the 13 minutes of this video than I've felt in the last 2 years, well done, God bless you and keep you doing what you do so well, and lovely voice too almost the perfect package and red hair, perfection Greetings from Australia.
You're amazing. I love your breakdowns and descriptions of peoples' voices. I know I love the sounds, but I don't always know what techniques the singers are using. You clarify that. So cool!
Yasssss!!! So glad you’re finding them out now! Check out their versions of “Sound of Silence”, “90s Medley”, “Daft Punk Medley”, & “Amazing Grace”. Avi (bass) left the group amicably at some point and has made a great solo career for himself. That being said, there is a different bass singer for “Sound of Silence “Amazing Grace”, named Matt (still wonderful). & they do all their own arrangements 😊 and they sound just the same live!
Don’t forget “Bohemian Rhapsody”!
I agree. Bohemian Rhapsody is exceptional.
Mitch slapped perfectly. Loved how you got so excited with Kirstie and it was perfect to see you . Fantastic reaction. love to see you do more of them because they have an amazing catalogue.
Would love to see more Pentatonix
You reacted exactly how everybody that clicked on this video hoped somebody who knew what they were hearing would. Perfect job reacting to maybe the most perfect song and performance of it that exists
Fairy Voice Mother thank you! I woke up a bit down today but your infectious exuberance is just so full of life it brightened my day! A rare quality to match your physical beauty as well! I’m old and disabled so I can get away with complimenting a woman’s beauty without insulting anyone! 🤡 So again thank you! What a beautiful reaction to a beautiful song! Working your way through tears was both precious and endearing.
With the crazy tragic world roaring around us, God allows a spark of what we can be and what we will be one day and these young people take us to a transcendent moment and a yearning that resides so deep while we live here in this place that can not possibly satiate it. Having watched a few reactions all with the same response just clearly shows that when you strip away the physical we obsess over, we all have the same needs and desires and one day they will be met with perfect love and unity. Precious moments for sure! God Bless you young lady!
You're so adorable, and genuine. It really came across how much that affected you. When it comes to acapella I'm more of a Home Free fan but this song is excellence.
You have to check out: "Sound of Silence", "Imagine", "Daft Punk Medley", and "Run to you" (PTX original) - I'm looking forward to watching you experience them for the first time.
Yes all them in that perfect order !!
You forgot dance of the sugar plum fairy 👌
And, The Prayer ❤️
I like her passionate speech, "some humans do terrible things, but some do this", just a kindly reminder of how we choose to use our time in this earth have an effect to another human.
THANK YOU LOLLI!
Your reaction is a dose of PTX with extra “Fünf.”
You are quite glorious yourself. Thank you for sharing your joy of music with us.
v
One year later but this is one of the best video reaction/analysis of this song!!! You got a new follower 😊
I haven’t enjoyed a reaction this much ever. And you have a wonderful voice!!! You have a new fan!
The bassline on Mitch's verse is freaking extraordinary! Genius writing and execution.
It is always fantastic to see somebody's first exposure to Mitch's voice... they call it getting "Mitch-Slapped". Yours was great. - Thanks
Thanks for musing about the arrangement. A lot of reactors miss this aspect. Ben Bram, a Grammy-winning genius, provides the structure. Then Pentatonix hashes it out at rehearsal until they discover the secret sauce. It is a truly extraordinary collaboration.
Simply incredible reactions. Very impressed with your articulate explinations....
I only needed to see this one reaction to have you jump to the top of my list for reactors. I can tell immediately that you know what you're talking about when it comes to music theory. You're so obviously move emotionally from hearing this for the first time. You can't fake that. Please keep doing what you're doing. I'm definitely going to do a deep dive of all your reactions now. :)
Thank you very much. More Pentatonix please!
My honest reaction to this reaction is that I feel I have found my spirit animal. It's so refreshing to have all of the same feelings reflected on the screen
I am SO GLAD that someone else in this world seems to have the same appreciation and is affected by music like this as I do! THANKS for this reaction!! HUGS!!
