[@melanieconnelly8532]

Forget the haters! Miserable people spreading their poison! You stay just the way you are!!!!

[@mommawinks5738]

Absolutely agree 100%!!!

[@KaktusLady]

💚💜

[@dorindas7330]

Amen!!! Great comment!

[@sandyleewhite]

💕💕💕 ***************SOMETIMES, THERE IS JUST NO WORDS GOOD ENOUGH*************** 💕💕💕 Really loved your raw & emotional reaction!

[@AbbyC543]

This performance by PTX is pure vocal perfection. I dare anyone to find one flaw in this performance. Absolutely art for the ears.

[@transolut]

I am 65 years old and have learned that many in the general public are ignorant of world affairs and that the USA is not the center of the universe and ignorant of people like you who actually take the time to review, edit and post reactions. Thanks for your hard week and commentary.

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Amazing song. Amazing rendition. Amazing God. Amazing grace

[@mamajenkins1981]

You’re absolutely right, they are definitely getting better. And it’s remarkable because they’ve been together and performing for almost ten years, but instead of plateauing and coasting on their past successes, they are constantly improving. Kirsty has grown so much and these last few releases, plus the entirety of this new Christmas album, she has really come into her own and it’s a joy to watch. And I love that she’s belting this high notes because it allows Mitch to sing in his lower register which I love. Matt, Scott, and Kevin...what can I say about these amazing gentlemen. Also their song writing has grown and matured as well. I can’t help but gush about them.

[@frutepye7859]

Kirstin has really blossomed since her stint on Broadway. It makes me wonder if she might have had a confidence problem that that really helped with.

[@donnone7295]

Almost 10 years? 2011 was when the original 5 were noticed on NBC'S "Sing-off" and the change from Avi to Matt was in 2017. So these 5 have 3 years together but if you start with the original 3 it's more than 20 years. Scott and Mitch met when they were 10 years old and Kirsten met them in High school drama class.

[@dangdang4334]

@@donnone7295 obviously it's in reference to the 4 that have been together since the sing off, Scott, Kirstin, Mitch, and Kevin, as they are the ones who have been together as a group for nearly 10 years. However Avi and Matt also have done nothing but improve during their respective times with the group too

[@sarahjane8146]

I don’t understand the controversy. Please, listen to what you choose!

[@seanofl]

When they sing I do not miss instruments at all. Beautiful!

[@ExotiicButter]

Amen! 🙏

[@larrywt656]

I actually refer to Pentatonix as a band because they refer to THEMSELVES as a band. And what a band they are! They've gone from that group of somewhat awkward teenagers on The Sing Off to an amazing collection of mature, professional vocalists on a level above just about everybody else in the business today. It has been a pure joy to watch (and hear)...especially watching Kirstie mature over the last couple of years into a TRUE SUPERSTAR!! She is no longer that timid and shy little girl who was too afraid and/or self-conscious over certain incorrectly perceived physical and vocal shortcomings anymore. She is shining brightly now, and nobody deserves it more!!

[@clsenical]

Atheist here. Even though my beliefs are different, we can still appreciate the beauty of song and music. Amazing Grace also holds a place in my heart. And I agree that they get better with each song and I love the maturity they show in this.

[@ExotiicButter]

Understandable. Have a great day. ❤

[@pamelapasechnick6899]

I love to hear instruments, sonetimes music played with only instruments. But, I have never listened to a song by Pentatonix and wished that they had instruments. Honestly, the way they arrange and sing music, I usually don't notice that they don't use instruments. The sounds of their voices completely fill the space! And, yes, I agree, they do seem to be getting even better. Every time I listen to them I feel better. Thank you for reacting to them!

[@cathythiel8501]

Your face when Kevin sang... loved it!

[@dorindas7330]

Before The Prayer this made my jaw drop. The passion and harmonies, the lightening ...everything! I mean it still makes my jaw drop and I remember thinking how will they ever top this? Then The Prayer hit 😂 I should know to never underestimate Pentatonix!

[@elizabethperkins7262]

Pentatonix is what brought me to your channels, what kept me there. No matter who you react to, I am there. Loyal follower...ignore the haters.

[@dorindas7330]

Same!

[@yvettemaldonado3725]

Kirsten really shined here Mitch was flawless Matt has a lovely voice Kevin Dam! Scott was wonderful

[@joatkins9793]

The human voice is a beautiful thing and to see five blend so well that you can’t tell most of the time that there aren’t instruments is a special thing. It’s a pity they don’t get the acknowledgment that they deserve

[@BiggChiefSA]

They do get the acknowledgement they are just no flashy or cause scenes and scandals that they are always in your face .... They have 3 Grammy's and will surely collect more after amazing grace and sound of silence...

[@charlesmartinjr3971]

If you want to hear what they sound like with instruments, check out their collab with Lindsey Stirling, who plays the violin. Kevin plays the cello in it, too.

[@maryanderson5443]

Anyone who loves music can appreciate this song. Whether or not a person is religious or not, whether a person believes or not, the music, the vocals, the harmonies are superb. The history of the poem/song is beautiful. It’s a story of conviction, forgiveness, redemption-both in earthly terms and spiritual. Music is music for music’s sake. One of the oldest forms of music, the Gregorian chants, are beautiful in and of themselves. People need to get past their pettiness and enjoy the sheer beauty of the song, the music.

[@luckylady7542]

Wasn't Kevin AWESOME. This is my new favorite. Goosebumps every time. We love you DramaSyd. Ignore the haters. I have always enjoyed your reactions. Thank you.❤

[@douglasbos6997]

You hit the nail on the head with that one. Nothing wrong with the natural human voice.

[@berhidle4925]

"I don't understand with what is wrong with hearing the beauty of the human voice". THANK YOU!! I am amazed with how well this group simulates instruments, and how beautifully they layer their vocals! This is my favorite version of this song, and it is my favorite PTX song so far.

[@MommaBird52]

Did you notice Mitch's angel wings? I love to see the response when Kevin softly returns us to mother earth!

[@darlenenickerson1713]

They are the best there is! I'm not religious but I know beautiful music when I hear it!✌❤

[@floridareedsreviews]

I love Mitch Grassi's voice. I kept waiting to hear him flip up into his head voice, but what he did sounded just as awesome as if he had! Loved this reaction! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, as this song definitely stirs the emotions.

[@nathanielbyrd5193]

I am so suprised that no one realizes the bass line Kevin brings to all the song of PTX and yet he also has a beautiful tenor range just as good as Mitch or Scott his bass lines are always over looked what a shame no one seems to react to that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

That is very interesting. I have never heard Kevin sing bass. I've heard it in some of his beatboxing, but not sung.

[@samanthagerbrandt7543]

I’m not religious, more spiritual than anything. But you don’t have to be to appreciate good music/songs. It’s just a beautiful song. And Chris Tomlin’s version (the one that PTX is doing) is just great. People need to chill out. And I agree, they always get better.

[@terri58]

I have always felt like Kevin is their secret weapon. He is so multi talented, he can do anything!

[@Rick-i6x]

There is Never Too Much Pentatonix for me!!!!!

[@rdmrdm2659]

Don’t let ignorant people make your decisions for you. You know what is right for you.

[@sleepy580]

Hit the like button immediately. Yep. Definitely!

[@susanwalker607]

Just attended a concert and Matt played his Cello, Sott played the piano and Kristen the violin. All had there own special! TALENT!

[@mousemeat1352]

I don't know why you are being given a hard time you do a great job. I look for your fair honest and professional reaction. Thank You. I am now a subscriber.

[@catherineyauch5489]

I don't know but this song looked like it was personal to each of them. Because they felt it, we felt it. This truly is an epic rendition that I doubt will ever be topped. Also, is it me or did her voice remind anyone of Dolly Parton?

[@mariondiemert430]

Their voices are their instruments!

[@brandieluther7954]

This version of the song came out with the movie Amazing Grace. It's an amazing movie. One of my absolute favorites. It's a movie focused on William Wilberforce. He was an abolitionist, focused on stopping slavery completely. He learned amazing grace from a man who became a priest in the catholic church because he hated what he did. He wrote the song from the humming from the slaves that he would hear in his dreams.

[@marysuecrossett9479]

i agree don't listen to the haters, follow your instincts and play what you like. this is one beautiful song

[@juliegates3036]

I've been waiting for your reaction to this song. I think it's one of their finest and was anxious to see if you agreed. I always look forward to your reviews. I don't understand the haters. If they don't like the music, they don't have to listen but they can also keep their vitriol to themselves.

[@rdmrdm2659]

Kirsten’s voice here is ... a fluttering bird? It’s hard to describe but it’s transcendent...

[@craiglee8574]

My GOD...🙇🙇🙋🙋

[@beckybirdsell2290]

As usual, you are exactly correct. I don't understand why some people cannot appreciate the talent as it is presented in these videos. If nothing else, they should trust your instincts and judgment about content presented. You have never asked us to love everything you present. But you have asked to learn from it and appreciate it. And that is not too much to ask. Thank you for your passion and your care for people. Stay safe.

[@jamesr1659]

I've said it before... You bring the truth and light my brother ... stay the course...

[@ksl-diy7243]

Who needs instruments when they can create such a beautiful wall of glorious sound...

[@scottdaniello9908]

So Glad Kevin had a singing part. Absolutely beautiful voice! Kirsten absolutely killed it and shined through. Also, thank you for pointing out the beauty of the human voice. This group sings with so much soul, passion and conviction. Absolutely love it.

[@janetlawson4482]

Be true to yourself no matter what, too many people sacrifice their beliefs for acceptance, this is a beautiful song! Anyone who has watched the Imagine video knows that a strong message that Pentatonix sends is acceptance of diversity since we all are HUMAN🥰

[@kathyross5705]

It doesn't matter how much I hear this song I get goose bumps.

[@mjbartholomew5317]

I'm loving the new visual format. Avi taught Kevin to sing.

[@amylynn5141]

Love love love Pentatonix, Home Free, Voiceplay... beautiful and amazing abilities!! I'm a loyal patron of accapella. I LOVE your reactions to any genre!

[@anessalyn1035]

i'm so glad you did this one, it's such a beautiful song and performance. Kirstin just blew me away but Kevin wow how was that for a surprise. Breathtaking!

[@chrisabel1833]

I looked at the arrangement. The bagpipe "drone" note at the beginning was a combination of KO and Kirsty. Well done, no superbly done, all around.

[@professionalvampire1]

I've been looking forward to your doing this song since it came out. Liked before it even started.

[@jeffg9203]

KO was the icing on top of the cake

[@ExotiicButter]

Yes he was. I was quite shocked when I heard him sing for the first time. His voice is beautiful.

[@chrismorin1318]

I absolutely adore your reactions. Your feelings are written all over your face for all to see. When they got to where they built that wonderful wall of sound and Kirsten goes off... your expression was priceless, jaw dropped open wide! And then Kevin followed and your eyes about popped out of your head! Love, love, loved it! ❤

[@leapatterson2014]

Dramasyde you are such a blessing and I admire you for sticking to your beliefs and not allowing the masses to dictate what you listen to.

[@JSabh]

Praise JESUS! Never let a man or the evil that is influencing diminish your faith brother. Stand strong in CHRIST. The darkness never did like the light because it must run from it.

[@buddasquirrel]

Excellent reaction! Thank you. Love watching your face.

[@cathryntruebloood3913]

Thank you for sharing your opinion

[@Valenya23]

The human voice is miraculous. The ultimate instrument. Keep up the great reactions.

[@dsusan17]

My chains are gone! I am set free!

[@jeffg9203]

Glad to see you back reacting to PTX..... Great job

[@Qwertky]

Isn't it astounding when someone can take a song heard throughout one's life, sung over and over by so many others, and inject a new spirit and life into it. I've heard Amazing Grace every other Sunday, at every Easter, every funeral, but this one made me feel that amazing humbleness and celebration again in a time when I really needed it. Love your reaction! ❤

[@billmarshall5040]

Love your reaction! Pentatonix is phenomenal. Unending Love, Amazing Grace! ❤️❤️❤️

[@amyhuggins9920]

”But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in Heaven.” You may not be able to get into it on your channel (which I completely understand), but standing up for what you believe in and doing it anyway because it’s who you are… ????…Glorious! You’re doing a wonderful job! Love your reactions!! May God bless you and your family. ✝️💜✝️

[@mecfstraveler]

I played 3 instruments and sang in acapella and a traditional "band" setup, all before becoming ill, of course. Music is as necessary as oxygen is to me. I enjoy good music from every genre and I'm fascinated with this group because they're so unique and they keep growing in skill instead of reaching their limit. Thank you so much for checking out their cover of this beautiful song that we all know all too well. Music is something that should be shared and that's why I enjoy a few good reaction channels. It's a chance to share something that I love with other people that appreciate good music and are watching for that reason. Thank you so much!

[@DaisyGray74]

The human voice IS an instrument. And these guys have mastered theirs. Epic cover and a great reaction!

[@annwashington471]

I agree with you I think what they do is beautiful. No need for instruments all the time .

[@rhondadrummonds9439]

Dude, these are your channels watch what you want!

[@seanofl]

When they fully unleash their voices it is soooo powerful. Love to hear Kevin.

[@margaretfrosst575]

I appreciate how you didn,t stop the video,every 2 seconds ( like the other channels) and let us enjoy the true beauty of the voices.

[@snuffymanson]

Beautiful job on this song . Kevin does have a killer falsetto , but he also has a great singing voice in general . On top of being an absolutely amazing beatboxer , and a cello player .

[@daventunes3822]

I think many people go into this expecting the traditional hymn, but this is Chris Tomlin's adaptation, adding the My Chains Are Gone. It's inspired by the fact that the original hymn writer was a reformed slave ship captain, John Newton. Another nifty side note is that the original hymn is written in the pentatonic scale, most often associated with the slave chanty songs. If you've never seen it, you might enjoy Wentley Phipp's live recitation and performance developing that part of the history.

[@rdmrdm2659]

I think this arrangement is very respectful of the meaning of the original and I suspect that John Newton himself would have approved.

[@gracieladuarte1267]

Beautiful song cover💓 I love your reaction. I am grateful for you reacting to Pentatonix ❤️...love Pentatonix.

[@sleepy580]

Oooo! So excited to see your reaction to this group, this song! Love your reactions.

[@gina6235]

I have been following your PTX reviews for a long time. Though I have never commented before, I just want to say, I love your reviews. Please, you do you! You are great just the way you are. :)

[@dr.hdenisewootenpsyd6896]

I kept looking for your reaction!!! Thank youl.

[@jamescurfman3284]

YEAH! AWESOME! I LOVE IT! Hey, DramaSydETV, I really like that you stand up for yourself, man! That's one thing that Freedom is about. It's YOUR channel so I should HOPE that you do what you want to do with it! You're awesome, please keep at it! :)

[@joant1951]

I also agree with you. Voices were the first instruments and acapella is beautiful music and this group makes their voices sound like instruments they are amazing they are wonderful and they are awesome God thank you for creating these young people that are bringing us so much joy and love

[@lexymich22]

I've been waiting and waiting for this.

[@louellamoyer5578]

Expanding is good too! But I love your channel either way....I can scroll past the haters remarks, don't bother me none, because I know these artists are true musicians of their craft with more talent than most have in their pinky! As far as you are concerned I have been gone awhile too and it's good to be back and good to see you back as well. How are you doing? I don't need explanations as to what happened but I don't like to see you sad and it shows in your eyes. Just give me a nod that you are okay. Peace to you, thank you for the reaction, stay safe and take care!

[@lilliantaylor-whitfield1952]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this. Thank you so much!!

[@amandamurphy8307]

Don’t stop doing these type of songs! I love these reactions

[@beverlyrobertson2659]

I love your reactions you are doing a wonderful job keep doing you and your way

[@joatkins9793]

Clicked so fast my finger hurts. Love your reactions and this is awesome. I follow both of your Channels but I will be honest and say that I only watch your PTX reactions

[@macg1006]

Thank You for another reaction of PTX and for speaking your truth! I greatly respect you for both, and look forward to any new videos you drop.

[@oldschool72]

My goodness what a beautiful surprise to hear Kevin close the song so beautifully.

[@spnbuff6311]

Richard Strauss said: "The human voice is the most beautiful instrument of all, but it is the most difficult to play". PTX shows it can be done. You have a new subscriber. Thank you for being honest about your feelings, and I will be be checking out all your other channels. Ignore the haters.

[@susanb4213]

I didn't understand what drove your comments in the intro, but wanted to say it's great to see you again! I agree about a cappella. Nothing stops me from enjoying instrument-backed performers, but I also love PTX. Don't have to choose, lol. On the Sing-Off, Ben Folds made a point of noticing that PTX always throws in a little surprise in their arrangements. Kevin showing up with his beautiful falsetto was that nice surprise.

[@jerdawg19821]

Let your Haters be your Motivators... I enjoy your reactions. I'm a PTX and Home Free fan.

[@leticiagonzalez-miller8400]

I applaud u 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.....well said! PTX Iis definitely unique!

[@jman3254]

by the way, I love your reaction. it is insightful and wellspoken and mature. thanks and God bless

[@donnaperry8752]

I agree with you just enjoy the human voice ! Thats what this group gives us beauty and joy ! Instruments being used i would listen to a band !

[@sheryldoughty8820]

The human voice is the perfect God given instrument.

[@lexymich22]

I'm so happy you did this. I've been waiting bc you are one of my very favorites. Thanks for doing what you are doing. You and loved, appreciated and you matter! Don't forget that please

[@Annap137]

This is beautiful. The scenery and the singing.💜

[@bearwiz44]

the human voice i feel is the 'voice' of the universe, guiding mankind, that's my opinion

[@shortybarnesyanik]

The reaction video I’ve been waiting for!! ❤️ Love you! 🥰

[@jeantonelle]

I love hearing the beauty of the human voice. And I have been waiting for this reaction! I can't stop listening to this. I get chills every time! I am already subscribed to both!! Love your reactions!

[@LottieOfWales]

Instruments would ruin everything, PTX is flawless! ❤

[@wilkvanburen]

So, what really bugs me is people who 'of their own free will' go to someone's page and then decide to criticize what THAT person puts on THEIR page! I mean, if they have such an issue, why not start their own, or just be quiet....? Oh, wait! That's right...haters can't create, they can only criticize and try to tear down. That's their only power, and it's a petty little power at that. There are truly many more non-haters than haters and we can all build faster than they can destroy. And thus....they continue to hate. All I can say is find what makes YOU happy, and do that. There are way more of us who love you and what you do than those who don't. Attach importance to the voices of those who support you and let the other mental midgets and emotional eunuchs drift away on the breeze. Your reactions and your knowledge and YOU matter to us, sir.

[@Ajnexus3000]

I've been for your reaction brother

[@3870TheDad]

I particularly like your reaction videos, you are honest!! Who knew that Kevin could warble like that?
