Now that was some Top Quality Mitch Face. A++++ would watch again.

[@cindyshell6845]

Lol! True statement! 😂😂😂😂. He was thoroughly Mitch slapped! 😂😂😂😂

[@JoleneDaviesITKWJ]

It was the best!

[@mindweavers]

I will never get tired of the Mitch (countertenor) face. Great reaction.

[@GlassesKingdom]

Thank you 🙏

[@brodee2002]

I looooove the fact that the crowd has enough respect to save *most of their cheers and claps until the end & also, 🤯 at the fact that Kevin is 1) Beatboxing with his mouth 2) Beating on his chest & 3) Stomping his feet TO THREE DIFFERENT BEATS AT THE SAME DAMN TIME!! 🤯🤯 (Oh yeah, & it was EPIC when you got 'Mitch Slapped' 😂)

[@Nicole-bb5sl]

And singing at certain points!!! 😩🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

[@tinanichols203]

Magnificent performance

[@Nicole-bb5sl]

Best version ever!

[@stephaniemeeks7329]

Their version of Mary Did you know? Is absolutely breathtaking.

[@dramaqale12]

I agree! I am atheist, but listening to their version of Mary Did You Know? was legitimately the closest to a religious experience I have ever felt!

[@rebapuck5061]

I love the melody. I love PTX's version. But I am still baffled by the lyrics.

[@dejns6945]

Bass- AVI (ah vi) Bass- Matthew (Matt) Sop & contralto - Mitchell (Mitch) Percussion, contralto & beat boxer Kevin (KO) Ssop - Kirsty ( kursty like thirsty)😊. Please checkout their rap video. CAN'T HOLD US ❤

[@Green-eyedGirl19]

Mr Cohen said this was was his favorite version of this song.

[@larrywt656]

That is an unconfirmed rumor that has gotten a lot of traction amongst fans, but has never been proven. The timing of the release of this song compared to Cohen's date of death, and the fact he was very ill from leukemia makes the likelihood of him actually having heard it remote. I would like to think that he would have approved of it though.

[@jasonwalker8324]

I don’t see many react to the live version. Most do the video version. Then people who don’t know the group well think that the percussion/ sound fx that Kevin creates is enhanced, but seeing him do this in live, shows he is just that good! Mitch is the guy that sings after Kirstin. Great reaction!

[@GlassesKingdom]

Ohhhhhh thank you for this information ℹ️

[@GlassesKingdom]

And by the way I had reacted to the studio version too just that it was blocked

[@KitsyX]

Some will argue this is lip-synced, but I personally think that the reasons they cite could potentially be explained away in various ways... Hard to be totally sure, but yeah, if it is synced then throwing in a mistake was oddly elaborate... I dunno... Personally I'm leaning towards it being live and, from seeing other recordings, I'm pretty sure it's possible for them to do it live, even if this wasn't.

[@larrywt656]

Actually it IS enhanced, even when they perform live. But it's only enhanced with amplification and reverb, no other audio effects.

[@larrywt656]

@@KitsyX They do enough riffs and ad libs throughout this live version to make it obvious that they aren't lip-synching on this. And they have performed this song live on almost every one of their concerts since its release.

[@jeaneskridge8075]

I am 71 years old and I have never heard this song done better. They are amazing. Try Amazing Grace, Mary Did You Know, The Sound of Silence, Imagine just to name a few.

[@maureenfaraday7737]

I'm with you. I feel like a proud Grandmother!

[@MommaBird52]

MITCH FACE! For the people who think there is a lot of post production added needs to see this live version!

[@danielsimonson1639]

"Bohemian Rhapsody" would probably be the next most popular song they cover. They have an original song called, "Sing" that is really awesome. They recently came out with "The Wizard of Ahhs", which is the coolest thing I've ever seen in my 69 years of life. They cover the whole movie in a short, but amazing time, with up-to-date songs. They never stop blowing my mind. Oh, and their Daft Punk medley is also awesome. I really like your reaction:)

[@christiestewart2674]

Great Reaction!!!! I Loved Your "Mitch Face" when he started singing!!!! They All sing Beautifully, But when Mitch sings, it's So Beautiful & Angelic that it Always makes Me want to cry!!!! And I Agree with All of the song choices that Tasia listed!!!!

[@lauriedaiken4426]

Yes! Great “Mitch Face”, and I totally agree, they are are all so talented, but Mitch’s voice is ethereal.

[@luckywanderer5107]

Great reaction. The look on your face when Mitch started his solo was priceless. They are incomparable in their talent and joy in performing.

[@geriatricptxer2362]

Came for the Mitch-face, was not disappointed. Their official video for this over 640M views, their most viewed. However, I'm pretty sure both their Amazing Grace cover and their latest, the 90's Dance Medley video, will soon catch up.

[@GlassesKingdom]

I will will have to research “Mitch- face lol 😂 I’m sure it’s funny 😄

[@geriatricptxer2362]

@@GlassesKingdom Any time a new reactor watches Hallelujah as their first reaction, when Mitch starts singing in his beautiful counter tenor, we get a "face". It's become a fun activity for all the Pentaholics to watch for the Mitch-face. Then, when they react to either the live version of the cover of Imogene Heap's "AHA", or "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" (from the Lion King), they get Mitch-slapped. It's a thing.

[@GlassesKingdom]

@@geriatricptxer2362 ohhhh thank you 🙏 omg this PTX FAMILY IS AWESOME, I’m loving this experience

[@doughaviland1729]

Next up: Amazing Grace Sounds of Silence Mad World Gold Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Jolene Sing Radioactive Bohemian Rapsody Shallow Havana Any of their Christmas music!🙂

[@GlassesKingdom]

Sound of Silence was already uploaded

[@lisaredwine4857]

You forgot Imagine!

[@annmc3878]

Kirstie rhymes with Thirsty is one way to remember her name. They are good. Enjoy the PTX journey. Of their original music, I like “Sing” and “Can’t Sleep Love”

[@Bonofox1]

💥MORE PENTATONIX!! I LOVE THAT YOU DID RESEARCH ON PENTATONIX!! YES!! PENTATONIX IS THE GREATEST!!!💥

[@janlauderdale9017]

I would love to see your reactions to Bohemian Rhapsody, Imagine, and Say Something (which really showcases Kirstin's voice).

[@iconoclast67]

I agree the best version I've heard too!

[@dizzylizzybeth]

I loved your reaction! I cry every time lol can you react to Amazing Grace by Pentatonix? It is so great!!

[@patriciaewing8164]

This is most definitely the best version 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jameshays7907]

Another "Mitch Face" moment!

[@emilymorris5927]

Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Broken by PTX

[@jessegirlb]

Since you're a Kirsten fan, you should check out "Amazing Grace," (her solo at the climax gives me goosebumps every time) and "Say Something," which she takes the lead on. It's surprisingly emotional. I also love her in "Dog Days are Over" from the Sing-off. It's not the solo in that, but her emotion coming through. Kills me.

[@lindaprosper7290]

I love that comment. That was a delicious meal. I totally agree

[@GlassesKingdom]

So good!

[@Blue-rl5dp]

You'll be glad to hear them do "Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy". But that's an instrumental you say? It has no words? Well, PTX got past that problem. It's brilliant.

[@Spartan_777]

Great Mitch face

[@sandyleewhite]

💝 *There is something so special about a group, that can make you feel every lyric in a song, & is truly their gift* 💝

[@bryanc23]

Need to watch their official video for this song. Amazing! #Pentaholic4Life

[@trinhvietanh9521]

you are so right! I glad that you like Kirstin too! I always get chills when she start singing. There is something so speacial in her voice that make me feel better whenever i hear it

[@joanjones7245]

Welcome to the PTX club. What a talented group of young people.

[@davidphillips4476]

Live version!!! SWEET!!!!!!!..and yes I now say Mitch is a verb..you've been Mitched..lol.. PTX = deep rabbit hole. Very nice reaction man!

[@rosesilveira344]

Leonard Cohen heard PTX sing his song before he died & liked it best.

[@tasia2174]

I'm so glad you were able to get this unblocked! I'm looking forward to your Daft Punk reaction that's scheduled for later. I hope after that you will finish off their Grammy wins and watch Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (2nd Grammy) and Jolene (3rd Grammy). Also try Imagine, Gold, Amazing Grace, Mad Wolrd, My Favorite Things, Can't Hold Us, Can You Feel the Love Tonight, Sing! (an original off their first original album), and Coffee in Bed (an original from their latest ablum).

[@billiemchone515]

Need to hear them sing Amazing Grace.

[@billiemchone515]

Oh yeah, and AHA!

[@Jancoulson]

I COME here to hear your reactions. Love them.

[@shaynapunim]

i so enjoyed that you spoke about leonard cohen and jeff buckley at the beginning!!!

[@joanjones7245]

Amen to everything you have said!

[@susanbradley5685]

Light in the Hallway and Run to you will both make you cry...cracked, sing, Natural Disaster, ...all great.

[@lexymich3647]

You are the first reactor to get Kirstins name right ever that I am aware of. Every reactor pronounces it Kristin. You are also the only reactor I am aware of with the idea to write the names down before reacting again. I've wondered why reactors don't do that. I'm subscribed now. Also you have a Dm on Instagram. Thank you for the awesome reaction. Can't wait for the next one!!

[@rainbowwarrior6452]

At 7:42, you got Mitch slapped. Welcome to the club.

[@kathrynphelps9771]

Well and truly Mitch slapped!

[@kerry7713]

Montréal has a building that has a giant mr Cohen mural takes up the whole side of the building. ❤️

[@GlassesKingdom]

Wow 😳

[@rommelcabasag]

MARY DID YOU KNOW

[@KE-hr4sb]

Leonard Cohen heard Pentatonix's version before he died, and said it was the best version he'd ever heard. I had the pleasure of seeing PTX live years ago. Amazing, amazing group. Bohemian Rhapsody is another cover that they knock out of the park imo.

[@larrywt656]

That is an unconfirmed rumor that has gotten a lot of traction amongst fans, but has never been proven. The timing of the release of this song compared to Cohen's date of death, and the fact he was very ill from leukemia makes the likelihood of him actually having heard it remote. I would like to think that he would have approved of it though.

[@LavaKimo]

When their live versions sound so amazing, it show how talented they are.

[@GlassesKingdom]

That’s right

Well said , you are so right that this is the best cover ever , and I think you was Mitch slapped but in a nice way 👌👌👌

[@GlassesKingdom]

Lol 😂 yes Mitch slapped me real hard

[@tundiel]

Love how we learn things in your reactions! Happy to be watching your PTX journey. I think you will enjoy anything by them, but their harmonies in Can you feel the Love Tonight, Imagine and Amazing Grace are particularly beautiful. Mitch (the guy who sang after Kirstie) also just dropped a Billie Eilish cover of 'Your Power' which is breathtaking. And I think Bohemian Rhapsody is an absolute must. You've seen Kevin's genius, or that would have been another recommendation. Looking forward to more!

[@GlassesKingdom]

Thank you for participating and yes lots more coming

[@kerry7713]

Anything by them is gold.

[@elainecourteau6231]

Just riveting! Love them so much. 🤗

[@MaynetteSMore-hf9km]

This is their “Theme Song”. They end every concert with this song.

[@GlassesKingdom]

Oh thank you 🙏 that’s nice to know

[@susanstein6604]

Hallelujah literally means praise God. It’s two words.

[@TheJeanluc79]

Thank you for this

[@rls110961]

Yeah, you got Mitch slapped!!🤣🤣

[@kindracriado5984]

New subscriber here! I thoroughly enjoy your analysis of their videos (this is the third one I’ve seen and subscribed when I saw the first one because of YOU) I appreciate your appreciation of just how good they are. ❤️

[@tinapeterson4864]

Hello - Thank you for not interrupting the song to react. Im a new subscriber to your channel due to that :) I really liked the background you shared at the beginning. Its always fun to hear the history behind the song and I also enjoy learning about techniques musicians use. This was the first PTX song I heard and I quickly followed it with Sound of Silence. I would suggest you wear headphones while listening to the songs - the sound quality is so much better then using your speakers. Be sure to wear them for Bohemiun Rhapsody as well as AHA! Im looking forward to more of your reactions. Id like to know more about what you do. I see all the instruments in the background and Im curious.

[@elizabethgettys1118]

Great reaction!

[@nycmate]

Always love your PTX reactions. I’m glad this one got unblocked. Reportedly, Leonard Cohen heard their studio recording before he passed and credited it as the best cover of the song. The official video of the recording is worth watching not only to hear the gorgeous arrangement again, but also for the stunning location and visuals. Please continue down the PTX rabbit hole!!

[@GlassesKingdom]

No one can deny that it’s the best , may Leonard soul rest

[@larrywt656]

[@uniquely_mo]

Loving your thoughts on this amazing performance. I agree with many of the suggestions already given below (particularly Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy - often overlooked) but I’d also request their cover of Bohemian Rhapsody

[@EVERYTHING_EDITS-z5n]

Please check out their Bohemian rhapsody, hallelujah, oh come o ye faithful, 12 days of Christmas. You will end up being a pentaholic.

[@MARLONMUSICCHANNEL]

Wow! They did this song beautifully My Brother!

[@TheToscanaMan]

Thank you my friend. You are correct... it is the best version of this song. Not to take away from anyone else, but PTX absolutely KILLED it as they do with everything else. Try their take on Amazing Grace.

[@michaelrunnels7660]

"Now I'm convinced that this version of the song that I've heard since I'm hearing Hallelujah". Leonard Cohen concurs.

[@dizzylizzybeth]

Amazing Grace and Bohemian Rhapsody both by Pentatonix

[@callalily9842]

I'm so glad that you reacted to this live version. For me it gives a deeper appreciation of their beautiful voices. If you happen to watch it again & missed it the first time, watch how Scott, 1st singer, takes over the bass when Avi, 2nd singer, takes the lead. It's so impressive. Excellent reaction. Great Mitch Face. 🙂

[@GlassesKingdom]

It actually confused me I was like , and I hearing or seeing right? It was unbelievable I didn’t bother to mention it

[@callalily9842]

@@GlassesKingdom yeah I went back and watched your reaction again after I typed that. I could tell that you definitely noticed. You were looking back & forth from Avi and Scott in disbelief. 😲😄 Scott has incredible range and is known for his spectacular riffs and runs. 🔥

[@sherryhall3635]

Yes! The best! From the voices of angels.

[@heatherhuard]

Covers Bohemian Rhapsody, Say Something, Can't Hold Us, No, Problem, Aha, Can't Help Falling In Love. Originals Can't Sleep Love, Love Again, Sing, Cracked, Run to You, Light in the Hallway, Standing By. You can also go all the way back to the beginning and watch their first ever performances on The Sing Off season 3. Wonderful reaction thank you!

[@larrywt656]

I'm glad you talked about this not really being a religious song because many people mistakenly believe it is. Your analogy about it being an argument between Leonard Cohen and God is something I never thought of before, but is an interesting take. Cohen was an atheist, however. You did a GREAT "Mitch Face" (also known as "The Mitch Effect" or getting "Mitch-Slapped")!

[@GlassesKingdom]

It’s certainly not religious, at least not gospel

[@heatherhuard]

Vocal perfection!

[@cindyowens3965]

I would love to hear your reaction to Voiceplay. Carry on my Wayward Son, Halo, or Queen in 5 Minutes I would also love to hear your break down the Hu and Lizzie Hale with Song for Woman. I enjoy watching you react and that you give explanatory commentary.

[@DanielBrown-sn9op]

Hallelujah composer said that the song is not a sacred one, but about heartache and loss.

[@bobbie2639]

Yessss this is the absolutely the best version. Wait til you venture their other videos. I'm not going to give you their history as I'm sure many others have already. Welcome to your PTX journey.

[@suzannehorne4115]

Well reviewer get ready to be pentatonix slaped

[@marablemorgan8292]

That's Mitch!

[@dishmurphy5754]

I struggle between this and Jeff Buckley’s cover but they just seem like 2 different songs. The depth of Pentatonix’s arrangement, the angst from Avi (bass), Kirstin’s power and Mitch’s angelic tone. Yeah it’s Pentatonix. I’m happy you reacted to the live version. I love the official video. It’s set in the Mojave desert and although it’s simple, it’s beautiful. Most people assume it’s not as good live. They’re not perfect so it’s not always exactly the same live but it’s always good. Scott is the one most likely to add a run or two when it’s live. ☮️💟

[@victoriaburch1367]
