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.
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.
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
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.
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.❤️
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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 remember the day this was posted on FB and it’s been a staple every year at Christmas for the last 8 years. We need an update on everyone, I’ve watched this video so many times I feel like I know everyone 😂
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. 😊
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
Verse 1] Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 2] Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 3] Baby I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 4] There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 5] You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well really, what's it to you? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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
This is so amazing, I am still watching it back almost a year later. That one girl, Jenna Moulder as I have found her out to be, is amazing, and just the way her voice stands out but fits it so nicely is just outstanding.
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!
Same!!
When you're trying to create a portal to heaven.
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.
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
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?
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.
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...
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..
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
The timing of that phone ding was perfect not gonna lie🤷🏻♀️👌🏻
I've watched this like 20 times today already. It is simply amazing, made me cry. great job!
Ashley Peeler same, buddy!
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.
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.
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!!! 😍
We've all gathered here 4 years later to still see how awesome they are 😍
Thank you!
I saw this on Facebook maybe 4/5 years ago and I still watch it even now! Their voices are amazing 😍
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.
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
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.
I listen to/watch this video at least 12 times a year.
Thank you!
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.❤️
Thank you!
The guy in the front with red hair is on American Idol, that is Walker Burroughs
I don't care it was recorded in portrait mode, THEY'RE AMAZING!!!!
This is outta control. I would LOVE to be in a group like this!
lunarsamantha Samee😩😩
THAT ECHO THOUGH! Lady in the black next to the one in the Santa dress had a music-gasm hearing that echo!
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
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.
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.
This is exactly like the Pentatonix version
Lool this is ptx version
Lool....... I said I like their voices better than pentatonix.
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.
I still come back every year to listen...still makes me cry every time.

I love how precise they are when the notes break and then begin again.Very crisp and on point.Great job❤❤
2022 still listen to this. Just gorgeous

Brandon, thank you so much. I am glad this video could encourage and bless you. We were thankful for the opportunity to bring hope to people
I thought of Pentatonix multiple by 5
Can someone please explain why this doesn't have millions of views? This crushes any other version I've heard.
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
2:00 she sounds like Alesia cara
I come back to this video often just to enjoy raw talent
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.
Me Dude ....u do realize they are covering the ptx version right ....
This is a cover of PTX's version lmao
You do realize this is originally from PTX like they covered PTX version...
This is the pentatonix version lol
I have been listening to this nonstop since Christmas, wish I could download the sound of the video as a song tbh
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 always come back to this. God bless y’all.

I'm proud my cousin of 25 has a great voice an on TV songs of praise once an so was I.
It was nerve-racking but worth it.
The girl to the right of the male singer 😍😍😍😍. Also this is one of my favorite covers for this song
I'm not religious, but this song and cover is wonderful.
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.

*listener.
My bad.
Take that back! They all need record deals
Thank you!
I've replayed this so many times
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.
The 1st boy was amazing, his voice is so simple, but absolutely beautiful at the same time. The girl as well, she can belt. All of them could !
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
Verse 1]
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 3]
Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
[Verse 5]
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
beautiful voice just singin 😇
0:05 Beautiful voice 😇
Everyone of them have some pipes! Girl at 1:52 needs to let me wife her ASAP, though!
Killer job by everyone. I can’t stop listening to this.

I still watch this and I still cry when I hear it, it’s so damn beautiful 😭😭😭

Well done! This should be an annual tradition. Same spot.
even the slight humming gave me goosebumps...this is so good
The guy next to him knows how to record a video
This was absolutely amazing. That blonde girls solo was beautiful.
the kid in black with glasses his solo is epic to me. Whole thing was great. Girl at 1:50 brought it. Amazing. Only high schoolers?
Y’all I have met that group in real life they are sooooo good! Fun fact the one with the red hair was on the American idol!
My all time favorite version of this young! I get goosies and teary eyed every time I listen. Even after all these years. Amazing job!
Thanks!
Wow this gave me chills! Absolutely beautiful
This rendition literally moved me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing and a bigger thanks to the talent.
When the doctor says I have 4:19 to live...
They all did that! Young lady who sings the third verse made the hairs on my neck stand up.
This is INCREDIBLE!!
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
Wow, I looked away for a second and all of sudden the world turned lol
I watch this every single day. I just wanted to say that. Y'all are unbelievable.
Julia Kiradjiev thanks so much!
