FIRST TIME HEARING Pentatonix - Carol of the Bells (Reaction)

[@deniseriley6622]

Please do " Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy ". They won a Grammy for this song.

[@franpoirier1973]

Oh I can't wait for Pentatonix O come all ye faithful !!!!!

[@Korbin_Arts]

mitch's breath support in this song is NUTS!

[@janetburrows137]

I’ve said exactly the same thing,on other review channel’s. I’d be on my knees, literally gasping for breath. That Lad is Amazing for sure. 🤷‍♀️🙏🫶🇬🇧😇🫶🇬🇧😇🫶🇬🇧

[@janetburrows137]

OMG. Mitch has gilds. Circular breathing is hard, but Mitch is knocking it 😮 out the flipping park. Again I’d be on my knees, dying for breath. That young man is Flipping Amazing for sure. God Bless them all and too who is listening too this. 🫶🤷‍♀️🙏😇🇬🇧😇🇬🇧😇

[@denisemchugh6331]

You have to react to Mary Did You Know... you will never be the same !

[@taniareads8751]

Never too early for a Pentatonix Christmas! This is one of my favourite songs - and OMG, if PTX turned up on my doorstep singing - I'd faint!

[@heidifruchtl354]

I listen to Pentatonix Christmas music all year long

[@elbatejeda5081]

I would too!!

[@Karen-Campos]

We are especially blessed to be Pentaholics at Christmastime!! That is one of my favorites too!

[@janetburrows137]

You just watch Mitch 1/3 into the song too see his breath control. He’s got gills or something. Cos he just keeps going, he must be able to circulate his breathing?? Anyone else would be on there knees gasping for breath. He makes such a blinking hard thing simple. He’s an amazing young man. PS. Watch his solo of “ Your My Power “. It’s jaw dropping. 🤷‍♀️🙏🫶👍🇬🇧😇🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@sonjarussell7332]

Yea!!! PTX Christmas in the house!!! Sooo many more to get through. Doesn’t matter what you pick next, they are all great. They bring new life and joy to all the old standards and their new originals are classics in the making. Great job! More please! Can’t get enough!!!

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Yup, seconded :)

[@chelegoulet]

Hear, hear!!!

[@barrydanish6008]

Second the motion for Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy! You DO realize there are no words to this song, yet they won a Grammy? Wouldn’t you like to see how in the hell they did that???!!?

[@taylorfamilyreactions]

What?!?? How?!?! 😲

[@iamjenniferjames]

♥ It's never too early for Pentatonix Christmas music - We listen to it year round! Oh, Come All Ye Faithful, White Winter Hymnal, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Little Drummer Boy, and Mary, Did You Know are all must see!

[@JEBPsych]

Have you guys ever noticed that Avi always gets a little smirk on his face when he hits those low baritone notes? Love it! I know he left the group and was replaced by Matt (also phenomenal ) but Avi...damn lol

[@RosheenQuynh]

UGH, those confident smiles... 😍

[@nikkibanning176]

AVIIII and Mitch are killing it.

[@buddasquirrel]

This is baby PTX. Wow, they looked great. Then and now. Thank you for reacting to this one.

[@thechomiji]

Scott in particular is poised between boy and man here. He's captivating. ☺

[@Miobambino]

Never too early, or to late in my case, for Christmas music. Love this track. I’m convinced Mitch is an alien 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😂

[@janetburrows137]

This is how this song should be sung for sure. ❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🙏❤️🇬🇧🙏

[@tss9886]

Their Mary did you know is stunning.

[@tammyroberts1218]

This song is otherwise known as when does Mitch breathe lol.

[@heatherhuard]

I listen to PTX Christmas music all year!

[@vidsorama2]

This Pentatonix video was the perfect way to start your Christmas reactions. They have a lot of Christmas/Holiday videos and songs. Enjoy. Most Pentatonix fans play some of their "Christmas" songs year round. I do. They have 7 Christmas albums and some Deluxe versions (extra songs).

[@graceito973]

It's NEVER too early for Christmas music! 😅 You should check out O Come All Ye Faithful... Totally unexpected twist on it!! 💖

[@Mahiahtree]

Literally no one is going to complain if you do Pentatonix Christmas music! Heck, I listen to it all year! 💚

[@jeannietaylor4968]

Thank you for doing this, it's one of my favs too. Could you pleeease react to 'Away in a Manger' - it was done in their transition between the lovely Avi and the lovely Matt so just the 4 of them. I don't know why, but very few reactors seem to do it. There are a few little surprises in the forest.... :)

[@vickiroman189]

So glad you had such a lovely day! This is my favorite version ever of this song. Other faves for me (I hope some are on your list) are PTX: "Little Drummer Boy," "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy," "Mary, Did you Know" and "Oh Come, All ye Faithful." Home Free: "Do you Hear What I hear," O, Holy Night," and "Angels we have Heard on High." Thank you!

[@charlottevan_8]

The arrangement of this harkened back to their school experience in choirs, especially Avi's in college, where he was in a few different choral groups, in particular doing madrigals.

[@billiemaize6919]

“Oh Come All Ye Faithful” for sheer joy!,! 💞💞💞

[@thechomiji]

I'm glad you enjoyed their version of your favorite! A common reaction to this is "When does Mitch breathe?!?" I heard that they each picked favorite carols to do, and this was his. As others have noted, Mary Did You Know? (a modern U.S. carol) is wonderful, and I personally also like God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and their original What Christmas Means to Me.

[@paulaanderson7691]

My favorite comment of all time about this song is “Proof that Mitch has 7 lungs!”

[@michellebarry1555]

HUGE catalog to choose from with PTX…Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Little Drummer Boy are amazing! 🎄

[@shilohauraable]

He'd have had to start Carols in September to get thru PTX's entire Christmas catalog! Then add Voice Play, Home Free and Vocative and he'd have to start in like March! 🤗

[@bonnieflynn4798]

This is the one where Mitch proves he doesn’t need to breathe 🥰. This is an early one. They had no budget for videos so they just sang in the woods

[@travisrussell9166]

Please do Home Free doing OH HOLY NIGHT you will not be sorry, i have heard it many times, and i get chills every time

[@chrispavlich9656]

They slay The First Noel, my favorite❣️

[@elainevigil6128]

Never too early for Christmas. Glad to hear that you and your family kicked off the Season already, with ice skating and whatnot. Happy Christmas to you and all of yours!

[@My2ndnephew]

Great way to start the season.

[@geriatricptxer2362]

My PTX Christmas Wish List: Silent Night (done live in a church vestibule); Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (Grammy #2); God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen; Oh Come All Ye Faithful; Amazing Grace (although I think you may have already done that one); Little Drummer Boy; and OF COURSE nobody can sing with legends like PTX. Their duet with the late Whitney Houston on Do You Hear What I Hear is stunning; as is their duet with the late Bing Crosby on White Christmas. Oh, and everyone's favorte: Mary Did You Know. Those aren't even scratching the surface of all their wonderful holiday music.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Amazing Grace is hardly a Christmas song.

[@alicegibson685]

It is ever too early for PTX Christmas music, as we like to say, it is Christmas when Pentatonix says it is Christmas! Which btw was the end of October lol.

[@Bine80]

After countless PTX songs this is still in my top 5 Pentatonix songs. I just love it.

[@CindyNavarro]

I love this version of Carol of the Bells. 🔔❤

[@RobertBrown-nn8uu]

Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones from Sunny warm Florida!! I can't wait for your next Christmas reaction. Wish I could have joined you on your trip through the forest!

[@westvirginia1035]

My favorite by PTX is Come O ye FaITHFUL

[@GLAlex9470]

I also wanted to let you know that they just did The Prayer on the iHeart Christmas Special, you will love it and the rest of the Christmas songs they did.

[@samsusan1107]

This was the first song I heard from them 10 yrs. ago and I fell in love with them then. Please more PTX!

[@beverlykrebs4372]

I used to sing in choir, & I know how hard it is to find a place to breathe in this song... For the life of me, I can't figure out where Mitch gets a breath! I think he has learned not to breathe at all! Just more proof that he really is an alien!!! 😏

[@IamTigger-qe4up]

It's not that early. Honestly, if you only reacted to PTX Christmas songs everyday, you still wouldn't come close to getting to all of them. Since you do all sorts of artists, it's good that you started now.

[@janetburrows137]

This is the one were Mitch doesn’t breath. Geez, I’d be on benders. Amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@cheryllavrinc4536]

Dolly Parton. Hard Candy Christmas.

[@fredrickabrown6698]

You/I can listen to Christmas music year round!

[@katherineeasteal662]

Love your reactions - a major reason is that you keep pulling my favourite Pentatonix songs. And that you seem to love exactly the same features that hold me spellbound.

[@suzannehorne4115]

Love this! Please listen to their version of Oh Come All Ye Faithful. It is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

[@shilohauraable]

They sing this in Madrigal style & I LOVE it! ♥️

[@GLAlex9470]

Lol, I love Christmas! I started in November, couldn't wait to start decorating. PTX has so many songs that you are going to love. Have fun!

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

"Dance of the SugarPlum Fairies" is required as the song that got their 2nd of 3 Grammy awards. Homefree has a smashing "Do You Hear What I Hear" video. A completely different take on the holiday is the Australian Tim Minchin with "White Wine in the Sun" and yes the American song "Mary Did You Know" sung by Pentatonix is a stellar performance in an amazing setting.

[@annmc3878]

This was a fairly early song for them. Just goes to show that they’ve always been amazing. Great reaction.

[@KamaFromNeverland]

Funny things with this song i am courious if people know the story of the song because it was not ment to be one of most known western Christmas song. the story is. Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych compose the music, and lyrics was by Peter J. Wilhousky. The song is based on the Ukrainian folk chant "Shchedryk". The original folk story related in the song was associated with the coming New Year, which, in pre-Christian Ukraine, was celebrated with the coming of spring in April. The original Ukrainian title translates to "the generous one or is perhaps derived from the Ukrainian word for bountiful (shchedryj), and tells a tale of a swallow flying into a household to proclaim the bountiful year that the family will have. With the introduction of Christianity to Ukraine and the adoption of the Julian calendar, the celebration of the New Year was moved from April to January, and the holiday with which the chant was originally associated became Malanka (Ukrainian: Щедрий вечір, Shchedry vechir), the eve of the Julian New Year (the night of January 13-14 in the Gregorian calendar). The songs sung for this celebration are known as Shchedrivky. The song was first performed by students at Kyiv University in December 1916, but the song lost popularity in Ukraine shortly after the Soviet Union took hold. It was introduced to Western audiences by the Ukrainian National Chorus during its 1919 concert tour of Europe and the Americas, where it premiered in the United States on October 5, 1922. Wilhousky rearranged the melody for orchestra with new lyrics for NBC radio network's symphony orchestra, centered around the theme of bells because the melody reminded him of hand bells, which begins "Hark! How the bells". It was first aired during the Great Depression, and Wilhousky copyrighted the new lyrics in 1936 and also published the song, despite the song having been published almost two decades earlier in the Ukrainian National Republic. Its initial popularity stemmed largely from Wilhousky's ability to reach a wide audience as his role as arranger for the NBC Symphony Orchestra. It is now strongly associated with Christmas because of its new lyrics, which reference bells, caroling, and the line "merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas".

[@melmcquire1611]

So many ones to choose from! Enjoy and it's never to early

[@christymcdaniel3906]

This was played at the beginning of the animated film The Star.

[@jillybean6]

When I was in 8th grade chorus I fell in love with this song

[@jenniferyoung8551]

Never to early for Christmas music, I personally know many people in the US that put their Christmas tree up on Halloween, lol

[@dwfarr]

I have about 4 hours of Pentatonix Christmas music on my YT playlist. Can’t lose with any of them. Recommend the 4 songs from the iHeart Radio special a few days ago.

[@janetburrows137]

Again I love this. Perfection yet again from PTX. 😮😂❤❤

[@jcs1025]

Another one that’s just as good live.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Never too early for me! There are ao many great Christmas songs from them. My favorite Pentatonix Christmas song is”Mary Dud You Know”, but any choice you make will be a great one. 🙂 Jewel also has a beautiful Christmas album. Her Ave Maria is gorgeous!

[@steveskonberg1599]

Little Drummer Boy…Mary Did You Know…and ESPECIALLY do the song Thank You…all by PTX. You won’t be disappointed.

[@carolyngregory9092]

I can listen to Christmas music all year round🤣. Thank you for reacting to them ❤

[@catwhisperer9489]

I don't know what to say, just.... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@brendagrothier967]

Great......all the acapella groups do wonderful Christmas Music.

[@imtherapycat]

I love the song, and your reaction! So happy you were so happy with their version of your favorite carol! It brings joy, doesn't it?

[@sharonbernhard3452]

If no one mentioned it (no I didn't read all the comments) but White Winter Hymnal" it is a Fleet Fox cover - done very well. I think you might enjoy it.

[@nicholasclaus9695]

welcome to the christmas club

[@marablemorgan8292]

Another awesome rendition....

[@matthewmccarthy9817]

Never too early to listen to nice music. Like your reactions to ptx. If i may be so bold to suggest that you Listen and react to a splendid version of O HOLY NIGHT by a group called Voctave. I think you will be impressed by them.

[@davidphillips4476]

Checking they only have about 4.5 hours of Christmas music...well then you have to add the new Christmas music from their new album Evergreen...so say 5+ hours. LOL enjoy the ride. You need to do Rascal Flatts "Skin" Great country song.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@jordanneas5283]

Please do their version of Mary did you know! It's amazing

[@debrawoodson2365]

Love your reviews

[@CindyNavarro]

Please consider "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" by Home Free, Oak Ridge Boys, & Jeffrey East. 🌟

[@yadiragonzalez9002]

❣❣❣❣

[@Acadian_Proud]

Mitch looks so young there. I believe he was only 19-20 years old at the time.

[@anitaslack9193]

Yep, 20 years old according to his birthday on the wiki and the upload date of the video. Of course, that means that Kirstie was also just 20 and Scott was a barely-legal 21. 🙂

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

Home free does do you hear what i hear and others. Home free and pentatonix are both great

[@sweetvampy5303]

i hope you doi sae three ships by this group omg and where are you christmas

[@michaelengel3265]

Please tell me that you couldn't see Mitch breathe?.....his control is insane...

[@BelleDede01]

Since you're in the Christmas mood, here are two songs that I haven't seen in your list. They are both from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, which I'm sure you must have seen the movie (at least I hope so). The first one is still with Avi in the group called Where Are You Christmas kzbin.info/www/bejne/m567k5l7r72hbKM (here they only show their waste upwards as this is when Kirsty had a broken ankle which she kept on some kind of scooter (on stage) and on a stool when she isn't moving. The other one is You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, where the new member Matt, takes the lead and is quite hilarious in his facial expression but then, they all are as it's a great song to sing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHzHfZaaYtiIh6M Hope this brings you in the Christmas spirit as we'd love to see your reaction to these songs. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love from Canada.

[@bowler9749]

O Holy Night.. Ronnie Millsap I'll be home with bells home... Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton I'll be home for christmas.. Kenny and Dolly C h r i s t m a s.. Johnny reid

[@marablemorgan8292]

When does Mitch breathe!?!

[@ellenhulslander2897]

Oddly enough, this is one of my least favorite carols.....until PTX got ahold of it. They sang new life into it. And I just want to tell Mitch....BREATHE!!!!

[@Acadian_Proud]

I wish they would do the version of little drummer boy that was performed by Bing Crosby and David Bowie m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3XFe3-lad1gqs0

[@cherylfrady4602]

Breath Mitch...... just saying 😂

[@pamscarr8696]

They would not be welcome at my door step without Avi.

[@pattiyoung2513]

No Christmas songs for me! Nothing to be happpy for!

[@Karen-Campos]

We are especially blessed to be Pentaholics at Christmastime!! That is one of my favorites too!
