When a guy is beatboxing, tapping his chest, and stomping his foot all at the same time at different beats, you know he’s freaking amazing.
So true 👍🏼💗
Best Group i know is Pentatonix Jackie McAdams Amen.
Joesph I totally agree with you about this Jackie McAdams Amen.
AMEN!!!! Amazing voices with such talent from the whole group....💗💗💗💗💗💗
Kevin...
this is how I imagine the choir of angels in heaven sound
wolf870626 I was looking for someone else to say that!
wolf870626
wolf870626 I was looking for this comment ikr
wolf870626 maybe but probably better
Me too
3:46 You can hear Avi’s amazing bass voice in the background.
Love it.
Sí y también al final ese murmullo nasal de Avi toca las notas más bajas y hermosas 💫 Es sinolemente genial su voz
It doesn't sound the same without him
@@Alberthoward3right9upyeah it's better
@@z1510r nah bruh
Avis, and Mitchs voices are just insane
I beg to differ! They are ALL amazing! Stopped me in my tracks!
You noticed how everyone screamed when Mitch's part came up
@@AaronKaranjaNot surprised. I love everyone in the group and think they’re all phenomenal. But I personally think that Mitch is the best singer of the group
I feel like the guy beat boxing doesn't get enough credit. He was killin it
Crafty Cat Kevin "KO" Ousala
Ousola stupid autocorrect
I love Kevin
Fyre agreed
Phanic! At The Pentatonix Disco Kevin Oluwole Olusola aka K.O
i want this to be played at my funeral when i die
Kalea Sablan x2
and somewhere over the rainbow.
Kalea Sablan I think I just did
Kalea Sablan same I love them soooo much
Me too
Kalea Sablan right it's so good
The last 5 seconds where the crowd is silent. The bass just hits different. Peaceful harmony
Lyrics:
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well 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 her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember, when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath, we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you?
And it's not a cry, that you hear at night
It's not somebody, who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The beat boxer doesn't get enough credit. My man killing it
Joey Terrell kid? really XD?
Joey Terrell that "kid's" name is Kevin
love how people still find a way to get offended when all the guy did was give a compliment...jeez chill out
JessieSinger 15 well I didn't know that calm down
laum 2001 yep XD
Dear Scott, Mitch, Kirstin, Avi and Kevin,
The chances of you seeing this comment is slim. But I needed to post it.
My friend Claire.... you met her this year in Brisbane. A lovely 24 year old who adored your music to her core. She passed away two weeks ago after a long battle. I've not been able process it yet, but just then, as I watched this, I felt an amazing sense of joy that Claire is no longer in pain.
Your music touched her and helped her on her journey. I only wish she'd have had more time to hear this one ❤Whilst I was always a massive fan of yours, for also helping me on my health journey, today it connected with me on such a deep level that I'll never ever forget.
If you ever have a moment of self doubt please remember this. You are inspiring others in ways you may not even realise.
Love Bridget
Bridget Parker So sorry. May she RIP. Have a merry Xmas!
Justice Austin thank you. Merry Christmas!
Bridget Parker Stay strong and have an AMAZING 🎄 Christmas
Bridget Parker ha lol Clare rest in pieces
Beautiful....may your dear friend R.I.P. 🙏🏻 and while a difficult time of year to lose someone so close, I truly hope you can rejoice in her memory. Merriest of Christmases to you and yours! 🎄
Sincerely, a random stranger...😇
Avi's voice is magic. It's all so gorgeous!
It's not that Avi could sing the bass note, it's that Avi could sing the perfect note needed for that note in the melody. He is a savant.
I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever
he beat boxer literally makes this group he needs more credit.
anthony pizzi for real tho
anthony pizzi just because nobody else has yet. Its *the 😂😍
Yardlongschloong i was like does he beat a boxer??😂😂
Sergio Duran XD
Thing is, they all make this group. Without any of them it wouldn't work.
avi is love, avi is life
Rorucitaa
Yep yep yep
He is everything❤️
RandomStuffDK ❤
Rorucitaa
I love his deep voice♥
IKR?
I could watch this 1 million times and never get tired of this performance. Apparently incredible. You can feel the emotion behind it. It makes me speechless
Pentatonix it's the best vocal group ever I know on my life...
God job Pentatonix
GOD BLESS YOU😇
What blows my mind is how it sounds like the studio recording in a live performance
Autotune my man
@@pietrogargiulli8451 No autotune here bro
Adam O Connor there is. It’s not a lot, but it’s here
@@radish1972 I can't seem to hear any, maybe some reverb and other effects to make it sound more full and powerful but I've seen them perform off-mic and they seem to sound exactly the same
Cool
Anyone else notice how Scott took over the bass notes for Avi when Avi had his solo, and totally killed it? No, just me? Okay cool. They're so flipping incredible
Hannah Peterson I noticed it too.
rugr82day Scott did *not* do the drum beats. It was Kevin itself who did vocal percussion :)
no, i saw it too, look up "i should tell your mama on you Scott Hoying"
Aditi, I realized that later but could never find my comment to go back and correct it.
daftpunk
Had this as my wedding procession song. Love their version
Best of best in wedding 💒 I guess
Weird for a wedding march.
Avi has the voice of god and Mitch has the voice of an angel. Just amazing and stunning performance.
Agree
CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE SCOTT’S BASS VOICE FOR A SEC
I didn't know it was him until the live version.
Yes often the others are more recognized, even though as "under dogs" of the group since scott sometime is seen as the lead singer and obvious. But actually that way kinda makes Scott a underdog and might make him being less acclaimed. Also in "Come along" and "waving through a window" you can hear is great vocal range.
Scott is one of the most talanted voices in the world
He is amazing. His bass voice is much clearer than the studio version
IKR?!
I will NEVER get over Avi’s part
Best ever
And the way Scott took over the bass part is just 🥵
@@Kamil_PLCIt's 2nd half of 2020 and i still can't figure it out how Avi and Scott exhanged the bass line... sooooo perfect!
Miss him
AVI IS FUCKING AMAZING, I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE LEFT THE BAND
Scott has such a full rich voice it's so beautiful to watch him sing with such strength and power.
*I’m a 45 year old war veteran and I’ve lost every relationship and failed at everything in my life. Four days ago I was laying in bed, crying and I prayed to God. I told him that I have nothing to give him that’s worthy of a King but my broken heart. I heard him speak to me and say, “allow yourself to fall apart, it’s ok, I’ve got you.” I began to sob uncontrollably. I heard him speak again and he said, “I’ve got amazing and extraordinary things in store for you, just trust me.” So all I have is a broken life surrendered to Him. I have to give up and let him do the work because I am nothing on my own*
Be strong wherever you are
Much love from Zambia 🇿🇲
@@kundalikumbo8084 🙏🙏🙌🙌
I'm reading this 13 days after you posted. You know what, I read somewhere that praying is when you talk to God. But when you hear Him and listen to Him, that is meditation. You've reached a level not many can reach. Please do keep strong. Hugs from Philippines 🇵🇭
😭 I feel this so much tearing up just reading this 😢
Amén my brother
AVI DOES NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT his range is just impeccable AH
Lindsay Mohrmann I KRRR
Lindsay Mohrmann I agree
Lindsay Mohrmann Yup.
This is so true!
He's a classically trained singer, so he's kinda the bee's knees
What can go wrong when even Jesus is performing with you?
I swear nothing
Avi wouldn't say Jesus is with him, and tbh, neither would I, since he and I are of the same religion
@@samoyedpups4673 Well to us God and Jesus are one in the same. Yes to me when I say Jesus is with them in turn I am saying your God is with them. Lifes too short brother.
God bless
Amen
I think they were saying that avi looks like Jesus with his long hair and beard
Avi’s background vocals during Mitch’s solo…
(Chef’s kiss)
This is the most beautiful musical group I have ever heard. One day I hope to attend one of their concerts. When listening to their music I envision myself being able to sing like this to my Jesus. This music helps me express myself to the Lord. I love you Lord and thank you for this group, I pray your protection over them.
Same😁
Yes
Amen to Jesus..
Schicken sie ihren Herzenswunsch zu Segen Gottes Christus Alles Liebe ☀️💜♥️🕊️🙏💝🌞💛😘💚💙😀
I was eating when I got the notification for this and I screamed, and now I'm choking on my sandwich.
Why did I laugh so hard seeing this? xD
Karrin Evans Lmao you okay? And what kind of sandwich? 😂
+JanitorIsBack Bad day?
Katlin Weeks roast beef
Thunder of Dragons same!
Avi’s bass is insane u can feel it in your chest
I've come to the conclusion that that's actually your urge to sing his part cuz it's so frickin awesome
That's what I've noticed in all these videos. I can FEEEEEL that bass. That's epic.
I know right i miss him him PTX
They are incredibly good , they nailed it. Xmas without songs like this is not complete. GOD blesd you guys , and may he continue to enrich your voice and everything about your lives all round in jesus name Amen👏👌👊
yeah, honestly with out that bass in the song it wouldn't be half as good in my opinion
This group is beyond talented. Every single one of them brings a flawless performance to the table and together they are powerful. This song brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps . God bless
I've heard there was a secret chord

They are very amazing
Me lmao
Hhahhaha
ofc, my guy 😌
Mee
@@zsomborgregor695 haha me too
This is talent, unlike most singers who can't really even sing, just auto tune, and then when they play live they're trash. These guys are great though
earthly truth There is a huge amount of electronic sugar on this. There's more MIDI than performance going on here.
tsmithkc what you're hearing is the sound of their voices through speakers....maybe a little echo added on occasion. this is what they sound like in person I assure you.
actually I think this is playback..... you can really see it when Kristin and Mitch do their solos.... But I've seen them live and their voices are trully amazing!
earthly truth SO TRUE
earthly truth and they are more talented then most talented people that actually can sing live because they can do different things that most talented people can't do with their voices
*To the one who's reading this, I hope you are doing alright, I hope that all the pain you are facing right now will turn into a great achievement. Always remember that God is always with us. He will bless, guide, and protect us 💗*
THIS IS NOT A CHRISTIAN SONG!!! I love it but it makes no sense biblically. It didn’t happen the way Marc Cohen wrote it! He got mixed up with his characters!
I’ve watched this way too many times and I still get goosebumps
definition of High Note
1. High
2. Very High
3. So Very High
4. And there's Mitch Grassi
All the way up in Ariana Grande land
He's amazes me anytime he sings

Can't forget the skinny legend Mariah
The white guy with the Beard sounded the best
Avi :)
and the only one who looks normal..
the only one that looks normal? what is that supposed to mean...?
World smack "Normal"? No one's normal. Don't be the ass to force conformity and fuck everyone's life up. So don't even.
+naros edgy
I feel like certain works of art transcend humanity... like this, both this performance and this song are so out of this world it doesn't feel real. It's so much more than just entertaining. It captures your soul with raw emotion.
I feel the same. I find myself from time to time needing to come back to this.
💖✨😌🎶🎧
Me too! ❤
Straight to the heart!
Pvzzz I agree I listen to The Prayer and Hallelujah and a few other ones everyday. Like you said gives us such an amazing feeling that makes us literally tingle. It reminds us there's a loving God out there, and his son died on the cross to save us. I believe God uses imperfect people like the apostles to spread his perfect message. .
I heard you the first time on the radio singing "Mary Did You Know". My husband passed away November of 2019 so, it was the Christmas of 2018. My husband and I were delivering wholesale candy to the resorts around the Phoenix area. He loved changing the stations of the radio. When I heard even one note I would say,"Leave it there, leave it there!". You guys make music heavenly, truly awesome. The harmonies haunte they shoot straight through someone's heart.
I’m so sorry for your loss
Pay close attention to Kevin, listen to him, he's doing something incredibly special in this arrangement, especially during Mitch's solo. He's so underrated and slept on as a singer.
I love Kevin soooooooooooooooooooooo much .....
And appreciate him too
Yes, you are so right!
Which one is which? I'm trying to use context clues, but I am drawing a blank. :c
@Christian Luong Larsson Thank you.
Marley Mal as on a What????
A take me to church cover would be cool...
That guy absolutely, I second this!
Same!
It'd be awesome, but I hiiighly doubt they would do that song as it's a satire making fun of going to church. -__-
Tassie Yang I dont think its about what you think it's about
That guy it is (in my opinion). I know a lot of people don't fully understand the lyrics, but I remember reading Hozier's interview about what his meaning behind it was and how I felt the lyrics were interpreted to myself. Being that he doesn't mean to "forbid" institutions, it's more of the ideal behind them and likeness of other organizations that can make you lose yourself due to it being "bad". But that song wouldn't be a "politically correct" song for Pentatonix to cover as it is directed towards who you really are or what you enjoy can be shameful or a sin (sex, sexuality, etc). So, my earlier comment about a satire and not going to church, it's like you could do as a dog is told, but you'll be judged and they have tons of their own lies. This was longer than intended... LOL
Crazy how Avi is able to sing such low notes like if it was child's play. You could clearly see that Scott has a harder time hitting the bass notes, moving his head and stuff, but it's still very impressive how he's able to do it. Bro has crazy range
The bass is not his speciality by trade so not surprising
It's acting, unfortunately, as they're all lip syncing for this performance. I hate to say it, and I don't want to believe it, but facts are facts. It's Avi's bass line they're using from the studio version, and they're all lip-syncing - just watch Scott's bass line, it starts when his mouth is closed 😪 They re-recorded Scott's intro but the rest is identical to the studio version
Still, we thank PTX for this arrangement and for providing a live performance of it, even though it is lip synced
@@lloydino being a hater isnt a good look.Ive watched them do this countless times and they are spectacular
I'm far from a hater; I adore them@@giizodamulla7492 . People just refuse to believe the facts, which is a shame and actually harmful to the artist they're supposed to be supporting as the expectations become too high
I know they're spectacular. No one os denying that. But read my comment and check for yourself - there is no denying that they lip sync here
The second man singing is absolutely gorgeous and an absolutely beautiful voice. The Beat boxer is amazing and such a great bass sound. They all are amazing. 🥰😍
That’s Avi. He left the group and is now touring on his own. Amicable split.
@@davidturk6170 I really miss Avi. Don’t get me wrong. I think Matt is awesome and was a perfect replacement. But the group just didn’t feel the same after Avi left
Check out his solo work! Avi Kaplan “change on the rise”. Mostly folk/bluegrass/roots, but he has a few in the Americana soul genre. Writes his own music too. He’s amazing!!
His voice is awesome
Avi is too talented to sing bass only.
Capriccio I can't wait for his solo album to come out.
and kevin
EliaKay1 wait what!?!?!!
I AGREEEEEEEEEEE
Cloe Hannum hopefully #soon but we've never heard a timeline.
Goosebumps, anyone else feel it?

Listening to Pentatonix is like listening to a choir of Angels. Bringing joy and comfort to all who listen. They truly are that good. God bless them always. ☺️
This is my favorite song by Pentatonix.
Mitch: Well maybe there's...
Everyone: SCREAMS
Bri Raposa And yet he didn't even crack a smile. I would've been on the stage floor if that were me. He's a true pro.
Firefly Gamer Honestly tho
Br ?
maybe people are just enthusiastic about God's never-ending love.
Bri Raposa 😂
I knew Penatonix where talented it but fucking hell this is next level.
Joshua Moore
of course

They are killing it because they are layering in pre-recorded backing vocal tracks just like they did on the recorded version. Avi's voice is uniquely identifiable and while Scott did some good lip-synching his voice in it's lowest registers, just doesn't have the bone chilling heft of Avi's. MOST of the singing was live, but where the sound swelled out so "next level" there was some recorded backing vocals that sounded note for note identical to the recorded version. That's because they WERE the recorded version. Don't get me wrong, I love Pentatonix. But come on people , be real here. They are great but nobody can sing two, three, or four tracks simultaneously. It's still a great performance.
Are you a singer? Are you a musician? Didn't think so. There is no "lip-syncing" in this performance. They ARE an acapella group and RELY on their incredible vocals to perform. I am a singer and musician. You can CLEARLY HEAR that this version is not the recorded version, it has far too many variations. Your post should have been just your LAST TWO words. Have a nice day =]
Accapella groups don't lip sync or use auto tune or stuff like that wether they're live or recording or making a music video Everything is natural and live
I swear I'm just always instantly drawn to Kevin's movements OMG I'm just mesmerized because like 🗣HOW IN THE FREAKING WORLD ARE YOU DOING THAT😭🤯
Truly talented musicians. Unbelievable vocals!
Autotune: knock knock

@Neon Cat good grammar noob ass
#Joel Uzima I agree haha🤣🤣, he has a wrong grammar but why you gotta be mean though😕
Joel Uzima why noob ass just for grammar?
Very true tonks
An amazing song by Leonard Cohen - who, unfortunately, has passed - evolving from a 1979 album and beautifully sung by Pentatonix. Thank you to all!
I'm sorry, but Mitch's voice makes me cry. So amazing.
An Angel voice
If you think that they're lip syncing....... The door is down the hall to your left.
I'm sorry but on Avis solo it does sound like him doing the bass, but it might be Scott idk
TheDiamondGamerzZ I'm pretty sure it's Scott doing the bass while Avi is singing.
Not at 0:58 when Avi says "well your faith". You can still hear base, but you can see from Scott's lips that he hasn't started singing base yet.
Bryce Paytes I dont think it's Scott
fletch2405 seriously??? You know you Scott was doing the bass right, and that part you mentioned he hummed out the first bite and then opened his mouth.
You know, of the 100 different "covers" of Leonard Cohen's " Hallelujah "...... this is by far the best.....
by far
This was wonderful but K.D. Lang's version is still my favourite.
for what it's worth Leonard said this was his favorite version as well so your in good company. :)
I know.
This version is amazing but in my opinion, the one by Jeff Buckley is the best, by far.
Been awhile. Miss this group
The Pentatonix are just insane!! Omg Avi is amazing, miss him😫
I hated how everyone screamed when each person started singing except for avi and it kills me because I think avi did the best out of all of them . His voice is so deep and so soft like it make me get goosebumps 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Keke perfection who is avi
Frederik Weiß Avi is the one with the brown mustache and man bun. He sings bass in the group.
Keke perfection
There is no a "best"
in this group. they are so different
and all totally perfect
Keke perfection who is Avi is he the guy with the beird? because I luv him
yes
WARNING: Detailed video breakdown and explanation below.
Thumb up so others can read for themselves!
Allow me to preface this by saying that I am a true, hardcore Pentatonix fan. I have been following them closely since 2011, and I own every single song that's been released on iTunes.
I also sing/perform as a vocal bass, and have for many years, so you can imagine that I've probably memorized every solo and bass part that Avi has. I record at home in my own studio and produce, mix, and master all of my vocal samples. I might also mention that I've listened to their studio rendition of Hallelujah countless times.
As a hardcore fan, I owe it to pretty much every other fan and, of course, PTX themselves to dig in and defend them when their credibility is under attack.
However, as a musician and a perfectionist, I also think it's imperative to call it when I see that something is amiss.
Seriously, I could probably out-fangirl most of the people that are going to be pissed off at me (and in blatant denial) after reading this.
I have listened (with studio monitors) to this performance about six times now.
This next part is going to hurt some feelings. The hive-mind PTX fandom tumblr lurkers are probably going to roast me alive below. Oh well.
*1.* Beyond a shadow of a doubt, parts of this performance are lip-synced to a pre-recording.
I'm assuming that this was not by choice of the group. You have to realize that big-time producers of prime time television squeeze their margins of error so tightly for things like this, that they probably didn't give PTX a choice in the matter.
Parts of it were cherry picked, and their mic gains were adjusted accordingly. Kudos to the guy running the sound. I'm sure he's paid accordingly.
*2*. I KNOW what Avi sounds like when he performs live, I've heard him perform in person, and I know for a fact that he did not *flawlessly* copy and perform his solo from the studio recording. It's just not humanly possible. (although, if anyone could do it, it would either be him or Mitch)
The timbre, the vocal inflections, the subtle nuances from that ONE take in the studio - It's all there.
It's either a direct rip from the studio recording, or it's slightly remastered in an attempt to match the acoustics of this performance hall.
Avi did *not* sing his solo live in this video. Sorry guys. They've had some absolutely outstanding live performances lately, but this was not all live.
*3.* Scott tripped up a little bit on his entrance at 0:58. Watch his mouth closely. You heard "Da-da-duum" as Avi was about to sing, but you didn't see it from Scott. (and Kevin just doesn't have the range to hit a G2 without serious frying. He's a tenor, through and through.)
Lip-sync!
Granted, every note I hear afterwards is most definitely Scott, whether it be live or pre-recorded. He has a particular tone when he sings at the bottom of his range, as everyone does.
Here's what was real:
*1.* Scott's opening verse. That was legit. (They also wouldn't dare lip syncing someone whose face is zoomed in to the max from the beginning. Accidents can happen, as shown at 0:58)
The melisma, the "riff ticks", everything. He has a knack for nailing it when it counts.
*2.* I do not doubt that Scott sang the bass part during Avi's solo.
I am fully aware of his range, and that he sings a D2 in "I Should Tell Ya Momma On You"
He is probably capable of frying a low Db or C.
*3.* The climax following 3:30 was, for the most part, totally live. Avi was a god here.
*4.* Mitch's solo. At least until "It's a cold and it's a broken..." It's Mitch. 'Nuff said.
I am a hardcore PTX fan, and I always will be.
However, that does NOT reserve the right for me to make excuses for my favorite band when I know otherwise.
In an instance like this, I just have to get over it, take a step back and think "wait a minute..."
Then the reality hits, and I think "Oh. Primetime National T.V... If it was their choice, they'd do it totally live."
Guys, you just have to remember that by participating, they're getting a lot of air time and exposure that a LOT of people will see. The producers of the program pretty much have the final say in what transpires and how things go at these events.
That is all.
Remember to be civil. We all love PTX, and we have way too many reasons to be happy and just move on.
Keep calm, and sing on :)
Effectious well said I'm a huge fan and I'm pretty sure some was recorded but I know they can sing perfectly live so I don't mind, I'm just so glad they have there own special so proud haha 👌👌👌
Exactly! I'm so proud of how far they've come. I can't hold something against them that wasn't their choice to begin with.
it _is_ lipsync.
I had my doubts, but I've heard them live, and even with her ability there's no way that Kirstie can pull off that high note the way she does here.
it sounds almost identical to the video version.
Mitch's high note at 3:10 IS the video track.
there's a small fade between actual audio and recording, very subtle, but I have an ear for those.
if you have the tech, overlay the video track, inverted, on top of this one, and cancel it out.
you'll see the difference.
Effectious i just want to say that i really appreciated this!! i had my suspicions watching, and throughout my second and third watch i looked at everything you pointed out. sorry if people are rude to you, but i'm glad someone with knowledge was honest.
Oh good I was not the only one who thought they were lips syncing... when I watched I felt that something was weird because they mouths and the song were not right (Barely though) also at some points, in multiple situations I saw some over exaggeration done with some hard parts which just did not match the tone the song was giving off in the video
Still my favorite version of this song
❤❤❤❤❤❤
i feel like i could just listen to a loop of kirstin's and mitch's parts forever.
OK BUT SCOTT AND THEM BASS NOTES THOO!
I know right?! Thought that they had dubbed Avi in for those notes at first. Sounds so much like Avi.
Unfortunately they did add in his Avi's recorded bass notes for when he was doing his solo to keep the song sounding full.
And how do you know this?
Stefani Hall If the baseline keeps going when Avi is singing means that it is recorded and then played to keep the full sound.
I'm pretty sure it's Scott they wouldn't record it like that knowing that they can't sing it like that live so if you look up a live version at a concert of them singing this Scott is obviously doing the bass notes
When Avi sings the lead, Scott does the bass part. He can also sing high. Scott's got a hhuuugeee vocal range.
i miss avi so bad😔
That, bro, is a baritone 😎👌
@@josegalvez574 yes but not all baritones can go that low
Scott can beatbox too jusf shared and scott can do girl voice too
JUST NOTICED NOWWWW WOW
Avi sings the bass is absolutely beautiful.
Das ist das schönste an der Weihnachtszeit, die Songs mit ❤und die wundervollen Stimmen
Does anyone still watching pentatonix in 2019 ? 💖💖💖
Terkina Jency ✋✋why not they are awesomeness

THEY ARE LIFE
All the time! I cant get enough of them!
Still fantastic. Love them still.
Of course!!!!! They're amazing!!!!!
To all the people who think they're lip syncing you are completely wrong Scott changed his part with a bit of vibrato in a couple of places and his voice goes raspy at 03:22 I have seen them live and seen Scott cover the bass on Standing By which Avi sings the lead on. They are amazing better than any other singers I have ever heard sheer vocal beauty.
THANK YOU! Honestly, I don't understand why people think they're lipsyncing. It sounds almost exactly like the studio version, but you can hear a few differences.
Um? You are failing to consider the fact that they can re-record a studio version with slight changes to throw people like you off.
100% sure lip synced. Its just impossible to provide this quality of sound and definition in a live concert. Maybe they sung live, but for the video they remastered it with a studio version of the song. :)
however, still a good performance + song!
TheJoblacki Nah. I saw it.
Specifically, the Up On the Housetop performance.
It's sort-of give and take. There are moments when they're undoubtedly live, like when they switch from person to person that has their own specific verse. Scott, Avi, Kirstie, and Mitch each sang live (at least for their start). The chorus and in-betweens I believe were lip synced along with most of the A Capella beat. The end/climax is also live. I'd say it's equal parts live as it is lip synced.
This never fails to bring a tear to my eye…in the best possible way! It is so beautiful and they perform it with SUCH passion!!!
How lucky the audience were! Wish I was there.
Mitch got some mad talents
He can sing like a girl
joleen kodradjaya He can sing like a human who knows how to sing.
Omg
HauntetGamerTheBlobfish But that is unusual and that's why it's been pointed out as "mad talents".
Veronica aaa I know. I was just not in a good mood when I wrote that comment, so I was a little annoyed. Sorry if I was rude.
HauntetGamerTheBlobfish It's okay
Holy shit Kirstie is beautiful and her voice makes me melt
And her little smirk kills me
Crafty Cat kristie, my bad
I had a math teacher named mr fox and he's also my chess coach lol
Crafty Cat chill
Mr.fox KRISTIN
Best song I have ever heard!!!!!
I have never heard ANY group blend and mix the way that Penentonix does !!!!!
Every single individual in this group is so talented but definitely have put in the work to be this good. They're wonderful.
The black guy is a living drum set!
PigTastesGOOD he's the loving embodiment of talent
hahaha. am telling you. He does it with so much ease.
Thats kevin he's amazing
PigTastesGOOD he is Kevin
He beatboxes, he plays the cello, the piano and god knows what else, he can sing, he can speak chinese..
He is a living talent.
Avi's voice is smooth like butter, sleek like his hair too
ahaha you posted this on my birthday and omg true

Hallelujah 🙌🏾. This is The Best I've ever heard it done...HALLELUJAH 🙌🏾

Thank You :)
icicle gaming Thank you! You too
icicle gaming Have a good one bro
icicle gaming thx
icicle gaming same to you chap
Avi will always be missed. He has such a presence and his voice just resonates and reverberates so well almost like a cello or double bass.
Did he leave the group ?? I thought they interchanged members or something !!
@@wesleycuban8649 no, he left because he wasn't able to spend enough time with his family due to all the touring.
@@leeny03cosens38 sad but understandable
@@leeny03cosens38 he says that, but posts his own songs on Insta
Yes , Avi is and always will be Awesome 👍
i just can't w/you guys... this combo of pentatonix talent & this song. Holy moly. each one of you individually give me everything i ever wanted in life. in this moment. voices of angels. and i hear you long brown hair guy.. you all give me true talent chills along w/the chills this song already brings - pure heavenly pain and bliss oiii i feel it. every bit of it. THANK YOU
It takes me to another world 🥺
THE FACT THAT THIS IS ACTUAL LIVE SINGING WITHOUT ANY LIP SINGING YET IT SOUNDS LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION MAKES ME REALIZE THAT THEY HAVE SO MUCH TALENT OH MY G O D
exactly the same except for the notes scott changed, which is how you know it's not lip sining
multifandom bean Better*

Scott's part is different from Studio ver.
PTX is sooo Crazy guys...
@carliza loves bangtan !!
Hi Carliza, just a very friendly FYI, it's called lip-synching when people synchronize their lips movement to a song but don't actually sing. It's what Milli Vanilli got in trouble for in the early 1990's because someone else was singing/recording their songs but making the public believe it was them by lip-synching pseudo-live performances. It was a huge scandal. LOL!
Anyway, I must agree with you... Pentatonix is EXTREMELY TALENTED and real!!! I'm so glad I found them. I will be looking for more. :-) :-) I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their cover of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Hallelujah. Absolutely brilliant! :-)
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A LIVE........
It's overdubbed.
Its not, lip sync
It isn't, obviously!! They're just too talented to be true
It is live. At about 2:35 - 2:40, Kirsten breathes before Mitch's solo, which does not exist in the original video.
No one is mouthing the bass line when they switch from Avi to Scott at the beginning 0:57-0:58. The bass line continues but Scott doesn't start till after it begins. It's gorgeous but this is clearly pre-recorded guys.
I have missed this group so much
You guys should do a come back
Your songs and voices are soul lifting
One of my favorite versions of Hallelujah.❤️
🔮~🔮 Avi's beard looks so fluffy... I wanna touch it.
Atlanta Tee yayyyyyyyyyy I'm not the only one
Atlanta Tee lmao
Haha this made my day :D
Me too
Atlanta Tee same 😍😍😍
Dang I miss Avi, his low notes give so much rich emotion when he sings. Chills
I just don't think their as dynamic since Avi left...
HE LEFT?!
I miss him too. I like the new guy too but Avi's voice went straight down my spine. Insane
ohh my god, i literally cannot go one single old pentatonix video without someone from recently talking about this. It's been two years. Matt has different dynamics, and i know we all care about Avi but can we go at least one video without this?
@@twixstari i dont personally have anything against Matt. Obviously they would not have brought him into the group if he wasn't insanely good & didnt bring his own dynamic to the group. I love listening to his songs as well!
However, when I first started listening to Pentatonix Avi's voice was the one that caught my attention on a personal level. Its not a bad thing to miss someone who was in the group. Life changes, groups morph & life goes on! I do miss hearing Avi sing though, which is why I subscribe to his Facebook page. That doesn't mean I dont still absolutely love this group!
This is my favorite version of Hallelujah ❤ These voices are amazing😊
Love this group especially this song
The thing that amazed me the most about this video was actually the crowd.
They just stood there with the 'candles' and enjoyed the music. No one thad their phone out, which is so rare nowadays.
Misceff cameras and phones weren't allowed at the taping. Although someone did record an audio of this and it leaked before the album came out.
EliaKay1 ooh okay. 😂 that explains alot, thanks
I'm sure someone did have their phone to snaphat like 10 seconds of it
Honestly, Kirstie doesn't get enough credit. She sings so amazingly here while being to project all those emotions. Damn she just draws me in.
her facial expressions show how dedicated she is to it too its amazing! 🥰
I think the beat boxer doesn’t get enough credit
Lando Bleu Obviously he doesn’t since you don’t know his actual name.. 😐
She does everyone gets enough credit
They all deserve credit, without each other it would not sound as good
I so mis Avi singing with this group! He is amazing & his voice cannot be replaced!❤😢
Nisam skoro cula ovako dobrih glasova na jednom mestu bravo za ekipu
Sometimes I forget that this is "only" acapella.
This group of singers is absolutely amazing.
Wonderful instruments!!!!
Me too. Beautiful melodies.
