Pentatonix - "The Prayer" | Voice Teacher Reaction

[@kcamp2364]

I can hear them sing this over and over and every time I get choked up! This is Grammy worthy for sure.

[@BryanJustinXVII]

Me too.

[@TheBigburcie]

It's almost predictable that Mitch will melt reactors faces with his runs in this. They're not show-offy, but just perfectly placed.

[@edsartistry]

I love the way they don't rush a song or even phrases. This is what makes them great at drawing you completely into their performances. And when they know they have you, they build you up so high it takes your breath away and then they drop[ you back to earth and then build you up again and again. You feel like you are on a roller coaster and at the end you have to take some time to regain your breath and composure. They are EPIC !!!!

[@katrinahubbard8478]

This is the hallmark of a truly great Acapella group. When you use instruments, they carry the bulk of the emotion in the phrasing a lot of the time. I don’t know if this is done intentionally all the time or if the singer is just lazy. However, in a truly great Acapella performance, the voices do all the work and can make you feel as if you are listening to a full orchestra

[@susanscott5060]

I agree. It always amazes me that it’s only 5 humans making all of the sounds that you’re hearing. It sounds like 20 people!

[@rmac1042]

When they come together, you know something epic is coming! The Wall Of Sound blows us away every time! And the Aeolian cadence ending on a Picardy third on the I chord! Shear genius!

[@lynn2574]

What a great reaction! I absolutely love this arrangement and the vocals. Grammy worthy performance.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I agree :)

[@neetgupta1]

I love your PTX reactions Chris! Their voices are just so stunning and as a choir singer I like to hear your vocal explanations too. They blow me away - all of them but Mitch in particular. In this one I love the back and forth between his voice and Scott's - stunning!

[@anessalyn1035]

Pentatonix once again deliveries a flawless and stunning upgrade of The Prayer. They took a beautiful song and turned it into a phenomenal piece of Magic

[@TheInkdN3rd]

Every time that part of the video comes I yell AVENGERS UNITE!! lol, that look Kev gives us as they drop in & begin to give us the PTX Wall of Sound is EVERYTHING! I love how the trio switches off duets. Mitch/Scott, Scott/ Kirstie, Kirstie/Mitch. Their voices blend so naturally. Kev's percussion was spot on & he added such depth in those 5 part harmonies throughout as well. Was that him in that last high falsetto in "save"? I swear it was! The unsung hero here tho is Matt imho. The BASS!!!!!!! Ugh it was SO full & rich & carried all the way through! Whooooo!!! If this doesn't grab them that well deserved & EARNED 4th Grammy I'm gonna lose my wig!!!

[@melody6843]

Absolutely this should be Grammy #4 Loved your analysis and expertise THANK YOU! Hope you have many more PTX reactions to enjoy soon!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! More to come for sure :)

[@jeaneskridge8075]

This is wonderful. The song is perfection in harmony, sound, scenery and the talent of all these amazing people. They should really be proud of all they put into this wonderful song and video. Thank you Pentatonix for being so talented and working so hard for perfection.

[@jeangoodwin1856]

Loved your reaction and the breakdown. My favorite PTX song and wowed by Mitch’s angelic voice. Amazing Grace please.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@celiachristman104]

I loved your break down. I have watched this video and other reactors to this video probably a total of 25 times and you pointed out things I never noticed, nor the other reactors. Thank you for your enlightenment. I look forward to more of your PTX reactions to come. I enjoyed your reactions to Mitch's flourishes. Those caught me delightfully the first time I listened as well. I hope you can make it to one of their concerts. Thank you!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed! I have never been to one of their concerts and would loveeee to go one day! More to come :)

[@Myho07]

That last chord was a typical Aeolian harmony. It totally added an other worldliness to the ending of the song. So masterfully done. Thx for sharing!

[@debbierhodes4479]

Great reaction! Absolutely beautiful! Everyone did amazing. Scott's Italian was wonderful and Mitch sounds like an Angel!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I couldn’t agree more :)

[@paulinejane9742]

This was a really great reaction. Enjoyed you sharing your knowledge of music with us. I love Pentatonix & Mitch is an angel from above. Thank you. Please please do more PTX x

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! More to come for sure :)

[@Karen-Campos]

Nice breakdown! Absolutely stunning work from every single member! Grammy #4 is what we just heard! Andre & Celine will be proud! I also enjoy Celine’s duet withJosh Groban! THIS is now my favorite. Mitch soaring with riffs/ runs (some chromatic) & Scott’s strong rich Italian!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! It definitely was a beautiful arrangement :)

[@debbiedragone1451]

I love how you analyze PTX. Please do more!!!!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@carolscott1686]

Hey Chris. I really enjoyed your reaction and analysis of this song. If you haven't heard PTX's version of Amazing Grace it is another beautiful song that will hit you right in the feels. I hit the sub button as soon as you said you were adding PTX to your channel.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Definitely more PTX vids coming along with other creativity :)

[@rita.---]

Me too PTX PTX PTX

[@meganda1468]

Thank you so much for your enjoyable explanations and appreciation.

[@creativecrewfam]

I’m glad you enjoyed- thanks for watching! :)

[@deansouthwick1906]

Great reaction! Your knowledge of music theory/arrangement brings a reaction to another level! It’s nice that you can bring to words the wonder and joy that they bring to us Pentaholics.

[@creativecrewfam]

I appreciate that!

[@annbarron5874]

You are absolutely amazing in helping each of us enjoy these musicians.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@mikeparker6821]

GRAMMY! Their songs are so impactful. This one is so stunningly arranged and performed it runs through my head at odd intervals day after day.

[@creativecrewfam]

I agree!!! Would love for them to get a grammy for this

[@laurieloughlin3088]

Loved your reaction. Love Pentatonix reactions. Love Pentatonix.

[@creativecrewfam]

I agree with everything about this comment ;)

[@johnscholfield4492]

Loved the reaction and the expressiveness in your face. I've never studied music nor play nor sing as I have just an octave range I think. Despite this, music entrances me and holds me captive. It speaks to my soul. That humans have the capacity to create music and its treasures gives me hope our world may eventually find its way to a happy, harmonious future. I'm in my seventies so I've seen the dark side of history. That young people like the members of Pentatonix, countless other talented individuals and yourself carry the torch forward is inspiring. Music is common across the globe as is music appreciation. Our similarities are more important than our differences. Well done young man and keep up the good work. BTW, I subscribed.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for the beautiful comment and for subscribing! :)

[@jo-annelebel9819]

Thanks for the reaction. I enjoyed how you explained what was happening.

[@creativecrewfam]

I’m glad you enjoyed it- thanks for watching! :)

[@wormyr9122]

Beautiful, simply Beautiful! Love your rundown and wonderful reaction!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@sandyleewhite]

*IMO, no other group, can build up a song, like Pentatonix* They are masters at pulling on our emotions!!! 💗💗💗

[@arnoldsherrill6305]

As beautiful in its own way as snow falling., but as powerful its own way as Thor's hammer that is the magic of this performance., and that in the simplest terms possible describes Pentatonix. They are part of that rare group of singers who can take a cover and make it sound completely original and yet pay respect to the original performers. This is Grammy worthy material in every sense of the word... And I hope the voters give this song the attention it is due. This is what magic sounds like

[@terriepurkey708]

I agree with a comment below that the video was much quieter than your voice so it's hard to adjust the volume on the computer. I listened to Scott's live feed as this was released and he said it's maybe the most difficult, challenging arrangement they've ever done! It was worth it - this is an epic song!

[@Suzy3223]

Stunning!! And your reaction completely encompassed how incredibly gorgeous this is!

[@lengould9262]

Exactly. Well job done!

[@kayecastleman6353]

I'm late to the party here, but I enjoyed your reaction SO MUCH! So love your insightful comments and heartfelt appreciation of our beloved Pentatonix. Have you reacted to their cover of Kiiara's "Gold?" Truly a PTX golden oldie.

[@teriteijeiro2658]

Best reaction to this song! Thank you for your knowledge. Very enjoyable.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@conniehill4851]

Love your reaction!!! Grammy Grammy if not there is no justice!! This is a masterpiece!!!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching!

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Perfect. Thank you for this

[@LB-rc2dq]

Really liked your reaction!! Keep up the great job!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@thechomiji]

Wow, you had an ear ... _experience_ there when they came together for the bridge! XD There's an Italian vocal coach reactor who described Kirstin's voice as "like a blade," and that has stuck with me. Great reaction, great breakdown of what's actually going on instead of just "Ooh, aah, beautiful." ETA: More PTX pls?

[@creativecrewfam]

Hahaha I see what you did there ;) Thanks for watching and enjoying! Most definitely more PTX on the way along with other creative videos :)

[@Katybug335]

Wow! This reaction was a real workout…..I loved it. Thank you for helping me understand why I love this performance so much. New subscriber.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

[@wvhollargirl7549]

I like your breakdown, I would love for you to also speak to the amazing bass and the BEATBOXER!

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Matt Salee and Kevin Osuola

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Matt Sallee and Kevin Ousula. Holdin' it down.

[@lexymich3647]

I loved the way you explained what they were doing AND went back and let us hear it. SO MANY reactors with musical knowledge explain it afterwards and then continue with the song. I'm sure you have already seen it but please please do " can you feel the love tonight". I would love to hear your breakdown of that. Thank you. Thank you!! Great job. Subscribed for more. I'm sure as you know, if you do ptx your subscribers will increase. It shouldn't matter if you've seen the video or not, bc you are analyzing it. Loved it!! And there is a behind the scenes to this video and Scott said he thinks it's the best thing they have ever done.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed as well! More to come for sure :)

[@LeskeyC001]

That was a treat and your commentary was the icing. Thanks for posting and I’ll be looking out for more.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@pjb3583]

Your reaction came to my feed, and I am happy to be a new subscriber. It’s great to watch others react to music I have come to love, and you are great at explaining some of the techniques and abilities of these talented performers. Well done! Peace from Ohio …

Thank you for this! Just love it! ❤️❤️

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching- glad you enjoyed! :)

[@Miobambino]

Love your analysis of this! (Not gonna call it a reaction! It’s an analysis) This has become my favourite PTX track yet, which is difficult to say since they’re amazing! From a fairly new Pentaholic much love from the UK! Subscribed 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@creativecrewfam]

[@marymichele340]

First time listening. Great reaction. Subscribed This is PTX perfection.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! More creativity coming soon :)

[@lorlorjb]

I will listen to this song during the day if I need a little prayer boost! I have decided they are not just an acapella group . . They are a VOCAL SYMPHONY! They literally recreate the music arrangement with their voices and style!

[@carolelewin2054]

So interesting hearing your breakdown! Have loved this from the word go and will definitely subscribe for more Pentatonix!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching- I’m glad you enjoy! :)

[@Harley_STAY]

Loved your reaction!!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@mackinnonshelley]

Your voice is incredible!

[@eddietucker7005]

Chris, I wish I could have been there live with you when they “climaxed”! Great reaction. The only problem I have with it is Scott’s diction when he switched languages. I’m also from Texas, and diction in foreign languages have been beat into my head. Other than that, what a beautiful arrangement. Looking forward to more from you!!

[@dwfarr]

One recent reactor said, after this performance, that he was just uttering noises and words. Request their Amazing Grace.

[@creativecrewfam]

I completely understand his reasoning haha. Thanks for watching!

[@diannecardenas9866]

Loved your reaction to this AMAZING song.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@edwarddavis3963]

You started with their best IMO. Great reaction

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks so much! And I agree, this one was phenomenal!

[@auntieangie6546]

Great reaction! Look forward to seeing more!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@RutlandRick]

Great reaction!

[@tonicasson4991]

I love your reaction. I hope you’re reacting to Superfruit as well since you seem to really appreciate Mitch and Scott.

[@ronda.8624]

I recommend a singer called Diana Navarro. With the song "El perdón" she is very versatile and sings different styles of music with incredible melismas. And with a very personal voice.

[@davidphillips4476]

Perfection...done...

[@tamaramcfarland8677]

You would like their cover of Amazing Grace ( My Chains are Gone)

[@tg5927]

Wish the volume was turned up a bit. Love this rendition.

[@suegeorge8694]

Yes, I'm late to this party. But I loved watching you get broken by PTX!

[@julieross3946]

I’m watching this again because I like watching your expressions!!😂😅

[@creativecrewfam]

Haha thank you! I'm glad you enjoy them :)

[@hoss4774]

That upside down shot took me out LOL

[@creativecrewfam]

😂😜

[@cutiejoojoo]

New subscriber here. Thank you for the analysis (and obvious love) of this song. Looking forward to more.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! :)

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Breathe,.....breathe.

[@TheLoreVault1]

Best reaction moment 3:49 this was to pure and I love it.

[@creativecrewfam]

Haha thanks so much! More to come :)

[@mistytharpe3991]

I was around for the birth evolution and tragic death and rebirth of ABBA. But I'm so glad that in my lifetime other super groups with amazing talents have come together. Such as Pentatonix, home free, voice play, etc etc. There is still talent here and more to be found in this day and age of Auto-Tune

[@cherylhowe1541]

New subscriber😊 Really enjoyed your reaction. Please do more PTX!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for subscribing! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and will have more PTX on the way along with other creative videos :)

[@debbievoss6389]

Scott and Kevin both said this the most challenging arrangement they done

[@creativecrewfam]

I believe it!

[@ms_scribbles]

Scott has a talent for singing in other languages and making it sound right, even though he doesn't know the language. Check out their cover of "Papaoutai" from a Belgian musician named Stromae, to see Scott do French. (Well, all of them, but Scott's the lead.)

[@timvanderburg6039]

At the risk of sounding kinky, I really enjoyed the ear-gasms you experienced during the bridge, as well as during Mitch's flourishes. You not only awarded biskets, you gave over the entire bakery! I believe you can style yourself as a true "Penta-holic".

[@creativecrewfam]

Haha no risk taken 😜 I definitely enjoyed it!

[@terrilabeth7366]

I am new to you and I subscribed because I can tell you know what you are talking about and point things out I might not notice. I searched your videos and didn’t see him, how about Gabriel Henrique, Pick one of his covers that means something to you or seems difficult or maybe even surprising, like a male voice covering a beloved Whitney Houston song, a Mariah song, the titanic song, or a foreigner song. He is special…..thank you! And gosh, I hope I didn’t miss it as I scrolled? ❤️

[@grazynawikert-unger2122]

Very interesting reaction! Thank you. I will be happy to watch the next ones.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching- glad you enjoyed! :)

[@annmc3878]

Great reaction! You should always keep a few pillows nearby when reacting to PTX.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! Haha just a few… ;)

[@terijohnston-pilkey6743]

I love this rendition also. But I was expecting a comment regarding Matt on bass.

[@janetfrosst4331]

Loved your reaction! Please do their cover of I Just Called to Say I Love You (if you haven't already).

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@moriahwhite1188]

Interesting. Never heard a male reactor use Lamaze breathing to get through a PTX video. ☺️

[@katrinahubbard8478]

Celine Dion originally recorded this song with Andrea Bocelli, a very well known Italian opera singer with an incredible range. That’s some awful big shoes to fill but Scott did an amazing job with that

[@creativecrewfam]

He did indeed!

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

Well done

[@creativecrewfam]

Thank you! :)

[@tracygarrett3952]

I enjoyed your reaction so much and I've seen this video easily 30 times. I've subbed and I'll look at your video list to see what else you have reacted to of PTX. If you can, I'd love to see your reaction to Lara Fabian 'Adagio,' live.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for subbing! I've got a playlist full of PTX stuff and more coming :)

[@mjbartholomew5317]

More Pentatonix please.

[@creativecrewfam]

More Pentatonix coming up!

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Breathe......Breathe.

[@buddasquirrel]

Loved your reaction and break down. New sub. Thank you.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for subscribing! I’m so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@dukewalker9144]

I subbed for acapella! PTX, HF, VP and offshoots. Dimash too!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for subscribing! :)

[@cheriecourville9430]

Dude why no more videos? I loved watching. Wished you were still putting content out there. Take care hon.

[@creativecrewfam]

Working on it! Just posted some shorts recently and a reaction video the other day. One coming out tomorrow too!

[@cheriecourville9430]

I'm so glad to hear this. I really enjoyed it. 😉

[@rmac1042]

The PTX “Wall Of Sound” gotcha, didn’t it?

[@creativecrewfam]

Very much so!

[@dariyakhokhel2382]

It would be very interesting if you did a reaction of Mitch's solo song "Love Supply" under the moniker Messer.

[@kcenzer9633]

Hey! Just found your channel! I follow a couple of others who do "reactions" to vocalists but you are REALLY fun and musically Intelligent so I'm gonna subscribe. Please follow up with PTX first Grammy award for "Daft Punk". One of the most difficult song I have ever heard them do. On top of which it only cost them 400.00 to record and film in a closet! So it's amazing they beat out other nominees whose songs cost a gazillion dollars to put together and Pentatonix put theirs together by themselves. Would LOVE to hear your take on it!

[@LisaD-1969]

I loved your reaction and analysis of this video. The only issue was the volume of the music video, it was very low and hard to hear. I just subbed because you said you would be reacting to more PTX!

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching! A couple people have said that…I must have bumped something in post production. More to come! :)

[@pamelafoster2302]

You really should do Bohemian Rhapsody by Pentatonix.

[@jeanferrell953]

The best I’ve ever heard “ The Prayer”. I’d like to see you react to Tim Storms. He’s the lowest bass in the world and the widest range according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

[@creativecrewfam]

I’ll definitely look into him! :)

[@davidbangtson3109]

Absolutely fabulous reaction to this gorgeous performance. I subbed as a result and hope you will do very much more PTX. Throw in Dimash and I'll be with you forever.

[@creativecrewfam]

Thanks for watching and subscribing! More PTX to come for sure along with other creative videos :)

[@maureenl5255]

I always enjoy reactions by someone who can explain what I'm hearing. You do stop too frequently. I know you're excited but just let it go a little longer please.

[@Marie-es2yw]

I have a question! At the very end, you can hear two high notes/voices and I was wondering who it was? I was sure it was Mitch and Scott but a lot of people on youtube said it was Mitch and Kevin. Since you've known them for a while, I figured you might be able to tell?

[@creativecrewfam]

I personally believe it was Mitch and Scott. Scott was holding the main note (that we’re used to hearing in this song) while Mitch was changing.

[@colefambrough210]

Please please do the Voces8 and kings singer’s collaboration of “lullabye” (goodnight angel)!! It is absolutely amazing!!

[@creativecrewfam]

I will make a note :)

[@elizabethtucker6026]

I recommend ptx cover of can you feel the love tonight. Also original ptx of cant sleep love and audio only of anchor.

[@creativecrewfam]

I will definitely look into it! :)

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

How about a reaction to the song, its lyrics, and meaning?

[@Pernacle1]

Let it ride for the first time through. React to their brilliance first time through; break it down for the second half. People want your reaction without stopping for the first time through. I'll shut it down

[@tolowreading6807]

Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone? Angelina Jordan, I put a Spell on You?

[@Kk-fj5tn]

I always watching someone getting Mitchslapped!!!
