this cover is truly my roman empire LMAO. I have come back to this video several times in the past 7 years. Truly the BEST cover I have ever heard. The intensity and passion is pure talent! I know everyone in this video went on to do BIG things!
My favorite this about this is how they were just vibing with each other. They knew they sounded great and the acoustics were awesome. They were each feeding off the groups passion and intensity. They just really came together for such a beautiful piece and they totally nailed it.
Same. I've come back to this video so many times. It's my favorite video and version of this song I've ever heard by far. I've been watching it for years and shown so many people.
Christina Tomasik Hi! This is a cover they probably did of Pentatonic's version of Hallelujah. Pentatonic's version is really beautiful, and if you haven't heard it, I recommend it.
absolutely stunning! they can all sing really well and sound great together, but props to the girl who had the solo she can belt it out better than some famous singers. She should go on the voice!
the girl who sings at two minutes sounds wonderful and has the voice of an angel. a little rasp and a good sound. are you going to be singing in college
I've listened to hundreds of acapellas in my life, but THIS was the first one to give me goosebumps. I've never heard such great singing by a high school choir in my entire life.
I literally listen to this video every year multiple times but especially around Christmas. I have heard many professional versions including Pentagonix whom I love, but this one single performance out does any version ever. I wish I could have these exact people on a recording with this song. Chills and tears every time. Thank you for 4 years of filling my heart with joy.❤️
Saw this on Facebook and had to keep searching for it since! Finally found it again and decided to "favorite" it so I don't lose it again. I like this so much better than the Pentatonix version. I really hope they get some recording equipment and get a better quality of this and sell it. I would definitely buy it!! And I know more people who would buy it as well. AMAZING voices.
I don't care where I am, what the temperature is, who is around me, there is something about the incredibly layered harmonics, chords, and acoustics that makes me get the most intense goose bumps and full body vibrations. It is a literal observable physical reaction for the entire video. That's significant given the fact that the majority of times a chord hits you whilst listening to something, you get the feels for like just that chord or a verse or the completion of a musical phrase... but the whole entire song? nope. It's not a thing. It's a moment in history where all the planets aligned mercury was in super upside down retro-retro grade and then all the planets stopped spinning for just a moment out of awe and respect because they so needed this to be introduced to the universe. Fucking phenomenal. And the 2:39ish mark... I just cannot. So poignantly executed and punctuated with the most powerful beat of silence... man it's just executed so well. It's that performance you only dream of getting maybe once in a lifetime and we get to see them experience it in real time. It's a moment captured that is filled with palpable somberness and delivered with an incredibly gorgous tension that can never be reproduced.
Still makes me cry every time I hear it. This is, by far, my favorite rendition of this song. Such passionate, talented young voices. Thanks for sharing this video.
This is by far the best version of Hallelujah I've ever heard. Now I want to be part of an acapella group... Keep up the awesome work and greetings from Bavaria!
Spencer, I hope this message finds you well... In the winter of 2018. Just before Christmas. My family found out that my Grandmother, on my moms side had cancer. And although I prayed hard for her health and recovery, she lost her battle in January 2019, having just turned 90 only a few days prior. It was within this time frame of trying to stay strong for my mom and other family members, that I had come across VHHS version of Hallelujah that absolutely lifted me up from my knees. You and and everyone else in the choir should be 100% proud of yourselves for bringing so much light into such a dark time in mine. Wishing you and everyone else the best in life. -Brandon
Towards the end of this song, there is an amazing power that fills you, I listen to this song almost everyday because no-body on earth could even come close to the power that fills your spirit like you all, especially the girl that does the solo part, I believe her voice is heaven sent. I love her voice so much, its music to my ears is undeniably heart felt.
I’ve been looking for my favorite Acapella O’ Holy Night and listened to so many versions; out of EVERY song I heard and felt (professional and otherwise) this is my absolute favorite. The emotionality, the feeling and expressiveness heard and most importantly felt, is divine and absolutely, infinitely beautiful. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you all for this and for being You! Wish there was more of you All singing. Also, lead male voice- your voice is angelic and oh I wish I could listen all day!
I just started to tear up omg. This makes me want to join the choir in the high school that I'll go to (7th grade). This is absolutely beautiful. Big pat on the pack.
OMG THIS GROUP IS TO DIE FOR AND I WOULD WANT THEM AT MY WEDDING WHEN I AM OLDER ( also da gurl in da santa suit thinks she all dat like let that gurl be in da moment dont feel embarrassed thats wat singing does is gets u excited and puts u in da moment) ANYWAYS I HAVE WATCH THIS OVER 32,000 times THATS HOW GOOD IT IS u should do more pentatonix covers
Their harmony brings tears to my eyes every time. Good God so refreshing for my soul I absolutely love listening to this. These kids are amazing and that is God’s given talent ❤️
I've watched this about 300 times and I get goosebumps every. Time. God it sounds so amazing. Also the girl in like the santa/elf outfit looks alot like Jenet McCurdy from icarly
Hamsters, reviews, and talking oh my Doesn't matter that you're not religious, the song doesn't have an actual religious connotation if you read through ALL of the lyrics. The narrator obviously is not a believer of God and Leonard Cohen used the biblical stories as references in the song to allow the reader to understand just how violent and intense the relationship (in the song) was. 😊
When you're trying to create a portal to heaven.
this cover is truly my roman empire LMAO. I have come back to this video several times in the past 7 years. Truly the BEST cover I have ever heard. The intensity and passion is pure talent! I know everyone in this video went on to do BIG things!

THEY SOUND AMAZING ON CAMERA AND IN PERSON OMG I CRIED
When was this? I’ve been going back to listen to this performance many times over the past few months. Awesome talent?
incredible!!!! The girl that sings her solo at 2:10 has an outstanding voice.
Other than when she says "been here befo...walked this fuhlo".
Thank you so much! That is so kind
Jenna Moulder you guys truly are amazing, and powerful! I hope you guys keep gifting us with your singing and do something special with those voices.
Exactly! I keep replaying her part, love it so much.
Where we find more?? I've never really even commented before but that voice was amazing..
Please record this in studio so I can buy it😂😂
barrett bennett This version is actually by Pentatonix if you want the song. I have it and it's amazing.
Just buy Pentatonix version. its actually their arrangement. :D
Spellcaster86 yeah true xD
This is better than penatonix tho lol
agreed
Beautiful voices and a great arrangement! That soul tho from 1:51-2:21!! So good!
Chuk Shirley pretty sure it's Pentatonix's arrangement
Alyssa W it is.
This moved me. Ive watched it so many times. The passion! Beautiful voices. My favourite part is when the sound resonates through the silence at 2:39
D Unruh j
Sounds like the PTX arrangement :)
Julia Crawford Sure is
It is :)
Recognized it just after the first chord...I'm too in love with Pentatonix to ever quit
Julia Crawford is it bad that I think they performed it better?
Its a choral arrangement written by my old director for a choir to perform because he loved the version more
Aha..., but it is exactly like the version of PTX...
The timing of that phone ding was perfect not gonna lie🤷🏻♀️👌🏻
I come back to this video every year it’s THE BEST cover your voices are so powerful. Love it.
Thank you so much!
Same. I've come back to this video so many times. It's my favorite video and version of this song I've ever heard by far. I've been watching it for years and shown so many people.
I've watched this like 20 times today already. It is simply amazing, made me cry. great job!
Ashley Peeler same, buddy!
Undoubtedly my favorite version of this song, I can't stop listening to it !!
Christina Tomasik Hi! This is a cover they probably did of Pentatonic's version of Hallelujah. Pentatonic's version is really beautiful, and if you haven't heard it, I recommend it.
We've all gathered here 4 years later to still see how awesome they are 😍
Thank you!
absolutely stunning! they can all sing really well and sound great together, but props to the girl who had the solo she can belt it out better than some famous singers. She should go on the voice!
thank you so so much!
Jenna Moulder You sing so beautifully and amazing and your a cappella group is amazing, i love this so much
Jenna Moulder You are INCREDIBLE!
@@mjennafrancis yes girl your career should be singing!!! 😍
The girl soloist had me crying... I've been having a rough time lately, and such a beautiful voice with that much power behind it brought me to tears.
I saw this on Facebook maybe 4/5 years ago and I still watch it even now! Their voices are amazing 😍
the girl who sings at two minutes sounds wonderful and has the voice of an angel. a little rasp and a good sound. are you going to be singing in college
I listen to/watch this video at least 12 times a year.
Thank you!
This is outta control. I would LOVE to be in a group like this!
lunarsamantha Samee😩😩
I don't care it was recorded in portrait mode, THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!
I've listened to hundreds of acapellas in my life, but THIS was the first one to give me goosebumps. I've never heard such great singing by a high school choir in my entire life.
I thought of Pentatonix multiple by 5
I literally listen to this video every year multiple times but especially around Christmas.

I wish I could have these exact people on a recording with this song. Chills and tears every time. Thank you for 4 years of filling my heart with joy.❤️

The guy in the front with red hair is on American Idol, that is Walker Burroughs

THAT ECHO THOUGH! Lady in the black next to the one in the Santa dress had a music-gasm hearing that echo!
I am not a religious person by any means but I can listen to this group sing this song back to back 100 times. Gives me chills.
The guy next to him knows how to record a video
I love how precise they are when the notes break and then begin again.Very crisp and on point.Great job❤❤
This is by far the best version of Hallelujah I've ever heard. Now I want to be part of an acapella group...
Keep up the awesome work and greetings from Bavaria!
I agree. Best version ever recorded of this song, period! ❤️
Yes this is incredible but Go listen to the version they sung. They used Pentatonixs version
Can someone please explain why this doesn't have millions of views? This crushes any other version I've heard.
Omg they did the Pentatonix version I love it ❤️❤️
2022 still listen to this. Just gorgeous
ptx for days 😍😍
I come back to this video often just to enjoy raw talent
I have been listening to this nonstop since Christmas, wish I could download the sound of the video as a song tbh
Still watch this regularly. It's so so beautiful.
Thank you!
I come back and listen to this about 3 or 4 time a year. Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you Eric! I am glad you enjoy it
Man I swear I've been looking for a good a Capella version of this son. Tried 7 Ave Harmony tried PTX but this is the one. Tops them all.

much harmony...great goosebumps
This is more than they will ever know. 🙌
I always come back to this. God bless y’all.
Where's the version from the phone on the floor?
Why does this not have 50 million views ...... so many people cannot recognize genius level talent these days ....
I’ve been looking for this everywhere!!!!! ❤️🥰😍
This video gives me chills every single time I watch, the girl that has the solo, wow her voice blew me away! Amazing talent.
