First Time Hearing Pentatonix "The Prayer" Reaction

[@reinventingmelissa2061]

I think Mitch is actually an angel. That voice...

[@icer278]

And just think religious bigots say he's going to hell, as a Christian I can't imagine a God who created such an angelic voice just to destroy it

[@jonniecollins3636]

Pentaholic here. They don’t do covers, the are upgrades.

[@taracayir7093]

OMG Mitch sounds like an angel, Scott is perfect, this brought me to tears.

[@rls110961]

Yes, Mitch has one of the best voices EVER!!

[@becimai56]

I agree , his voice is like crystal

[@debbieseymore481]

Your not human if this song doesn't touch your heart. 💞💞

[@n_baileyname2698]

I love Mitch's voice too. I am always taken aback by it every time I hear it. I think he was the shyest one when they were on the, Sing Off. You could tell that he wasn't very secure with his voice. I believe he'd said he was teased in school. I hope he's come to know that he has the most incredible voice and that he has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. I am in love with his voice!!!!

[@sandihannig9836]

Mitch does have the best voice ever. They were interviewing PTX and asked Kirsten about their acceptance to be on the Sing-Off. She said she cried because now the world would be able to hear Mitch sing.

[@mollythegee]

I didnt know this and now I'm crying

[@Oops-IMeantToDoThat]

And yet, Kirstin is also stellar herself.

[@B3thBakes]

Arnt mitch and scott together just magical!! 🥺

[@joycewetherbee7421]

Scott Hoying (of the deep voice- bass? baratone?), and Mitch Grassi had formed a duet called Superfruit. Look up their official music video called “The Promise.” It’s incredibly compelling, heartfelt, and beautiful. I think Mitch wrote the lyrics. The way he embraced the song, the passion he put into his performance made it come alive for me. Watching that video was the first time I ever wished I were male. Ahh, Mitch. Not only am I the wrong gender, but too old as well. An exquisite voice, performer, and beautiful soul.

[@bethclarke3899]

"..." *stunned silence* "WHAT?!?!?!" Me too my friend. Me too.

[@terriv9002]

As I’ve said, I believe there are times God stops what He’s doing to listen to Mitch and says “Damn I did good!” I get chills with The Prayer. Imagine brings me to tears as does Amazing Grace.

[@lexymich22]

I love this comment!! It's probably true

[@jamesensley3906]

I love the part in Pentatonix the Recording of Evergreen when Kirstin hears this song for the first time with all their different parts mixed together. Cool to see her give herself chills.

[@marymichele340]

I love this comment!!!

[@GOTGames]

😂 love that!!!! ❤️❤️

[@denisehart7104]

Awesome way to describe how great Mitch is ! :)

[@wendys1227]

The Queen does have an angelic voice

[@PaulaLPope]

You know we Pentaholics say that they don't do covers... they do upgrades! Everything they touch turns to gold. I've seen so many reactors who didn't like some song, but loved their cover of that song. I hope they'll do the same for you with Imagine.

[@heidifruchtl354]

Oh yeah. Pick any Christmas song that you would hate. Flat out can't stand. Listen to the PTX version, and you'll love it and refuse to listen to any other version. Plus, he got hit hard with the PTX 2x4. Now he needs to listen to Amazing Grace

[@webdar55]

A lot of Reactors also say, "This song is my favorite," until they hear the next Pentatonix song!😁

[@karlaa5977]

@@heidifruchtl354 Agree completely, I love their version of a Christmas song I couldn't stand!! 😅

[@GOTGames]

From what I've seen so far I have no doubt at all that they are going to make me love it! ❤️

[@amberpippin7538]

Absolutely! I HATE 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. I hated it even as a kid. But I actually really like PTX's version. Never thought I'd see the day!

[@rodb9275]

OMG... a hospital for ears! LOL. Best comment in a reaction. LOL Cracked me up

[@GOTGames]

😂❤️

[@barbprescott303]

We can certainly agree Mitch has one of the best most angelic voices EVER

[@Badger77722]

02:35 I'd say that qualifies as a Scott-slap! Singing in Italian and in his lower register is a double whammy! I think the reason there isn't another "0" on the views for this video is that it hasn't been out for even 6 months yet. But I think it's view count will rival Hallelujah eventually.

[@GOTGames]

Ah I so hope it does! This was amazing!! Absolutely amazing! ❤️❤️

[@katedidit6392]

I've said it before - I'll say it again. Watching your reactions is so joyful. The true, pure, enjoyment you get is amazing to watch.

[@srslyboomer]

@Kate Didit all I can say is a big +1 to all of that :)

[@lorriredmon7531]

YES! His facial expressions and his deep heart are touching.

[@GOTGames]

You are so so kind! Much love to you!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@cailin1375]

The first time I heard this song, I said out loud "Mitch sounds like a literal angel". He always sounds amazing, but there was just something different about this opening verse

[@ShaySwag18]

You will probably cry when you hear their upgrade of “Imagine”

[@GOTGames]

😂 I think you're right! ❤️

[@bfly5990]

It’s soo good

[@OrionStar1]

That is the very first time I have ever heard that song. Pentatonix is so good. Mitch brings out the emotions in me. Beautiful, just beautiful!!

[@mollykeefe2870]

watch them cover "Imagine.." It makes me cry every time.

[@kristipierce4735]

😂😂“A hospital for ears”- that was one of the funniest comments ever!!! I 1000% agree with you about Mitch’s voice 🔥👏🏻❤🦄

I fell over laughing. Awesome.

[@Finderup16]

I have heard this many times before, but Pentatonix made me love the song.

[@megjones7860]

Hello G.O.T. When this popped up in my feed I almost could not contain myself. PTX doing The Prayer and you reacting!! I had to be sure I was sitting down and you did not disappoint. Your facial expressions were priceless. Was that dust in your eyes?....I thought it was allergies acting up......LOL. Isn't this just the most fantastic video ever? Pure Pentatonix Perfection. This is a beautiful video. Beautiful rendition of this song - The Prayer. Giving a message of hope for us all. Pentatonix never disappoints. All five of them are masters of their craft - individually and collectively. For this song there was skillful and perfect placing of each member in the arrangement. Mitch, with his beautiful voice, at the start and throughout owned this song, singing with such conviction and vocal clarity, the notes he hits and holds, his runs, his vibratos, his timing and his precision. Scott with his operatic presentation strong and convincing in linguistic detail. Scott and Mitch duet is perfect and well known. You should react to their Superfruit songs. Kirstin with her belting power notes and that sharp vibrato. Then Mitch belting with Kirstie. Matt on that consistent bass undertone. Kevin on the strong and well-timed vocal percussion with even cymbals clashing. The rich vocals, the tones, the call and response, the layering, the harmonizing, the wall of sound, building to the crescendo and then the clarity of Mitch piercing through again, then being so gentle. Superb performance by Pentatonix. This is A Capella at its very best. You said it "flawless". They deserve a few Grammys for this. Looking forward to your reaction to Imagine - another heartful performance. Also looking forward to some other reactions such as Gold, Amazing Grace, Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Say Something, Shallow and for a bit of fun - Come Along and Take On Me. Also don't forget their original songs from their 10th Anniversary album (in 2021) The Lucky Ones - tracks include Never Gonna Cry Again, Anchor, Bored, Happy Now and the title track. The Lucky Ones. You will need a box of tissues, dancing shoes and some good vibes. Hope you read to the end of this epistle, but you know I do this all the time, as I cannot contain my enjoyment and excitement when it comes to PTX singing and their productions.

[@blakephotographytexas]

Someone may have mentioned this to you before, but when they were on the Sing Off, one of the judges (Shawn Stockman from Boys II Men) said Mitch had one of the prettiest voices he had ever heard in his life.

[@mollythegee]

One of my favorites, but also... THAT PRODUCTION VALUE! That moment at 5:23 is CHEFS KISS.

[@kathyeverman7247]

Mitch is an angel, love him so much. Huge Pentatonix fan!!

[@thegirlwhosparkles]

I truly believe this one will get them their 4th Grammy. This is so stunningly beautiful it's my favorite song off their Evergreen album. Your reaction was pure excitement and I love that you're always so excited about them.

[@elki.h3653]

For sure, there is no way around it.

[@johnpatricklarson8188]

If you think Mitch sounds good here, check out his solo cover of, "Your Power" by Billie Eilish.

[@inmyReputation-Era]

He does a great job with that one. I don’t know if she did but it wouldn’t surprise me if she posted it in her stories.

[@suziballinger4230]

It’s beautiful!

Oh yeah??? Oooo excited to hear that now!

[@operafan6794]

Mitch is playing the piano and he also arranged the string accompaniment.

[@jessiestout240]

It’s absolutely brilliant. Mitch just melts my ❤️

[@Maerahn]

They released a song called 'Thank You' - an original of their own - in the Christmas of 2020/21, just as the second lockdown was kicking in due to COVID. The combination of the timing, along with the heartfelt lyrics and visuals of the video, meant that next to nobody who watched it could get through it without tearing up; it perfectly summed up how EVERYONE was feeling around that time. So yeah, definitely add that one to your list, along with 'Imagine' and 'Say Something.'

[@taniareads8751]

I still have a little cry when I watch/listen to this one - it really hits home for me.

[@karlaa5977]

Seconded.

[@Mahiahtree]

I had to stop watching reactions to Thank You when they released it because it hit so hard I just couldn't get through it. It's a beautiful song, don't take it the wrong way, I can listen to it now with only getting a little sniffley and teary-eyed. 💚💚

[@stephaniehaluza7463]

the first when mitch ctarted to sing i started to cry its just so beautiful for my first time hearing this song

[@jlee954]

Mitch and Scott's voices together are pure bliss. It's appropriate this song is "The Prayer" because this must be what music sounds like in heaven!

[@nancymunroe3672]

I've never been a fan of "Imagine" either, but their video brings out something that turns it into more than the original presented. Another one that sticks with you is "Havana". I love it.

[@Kaytrinelise]

I've been humming Havana for the last 2 days!

[@libraryminnie7674]

I felt like “Imagine” was just so played out. I would change the channel every time it came on. But Pentatonix brought it back for me, the appreciation of the poetry and the message that had become so stale!

[@lorriredmon7531]

The message through their version is so much deeper and meaningful to me. I never paid the other much attention. Maybe because I'm more "woke" now than I was then. LOL. It feels so appropriate for these times.

[@GOTGames]

Can't wait to hear them!! ❤️

[@donnawat]

Imagine hit me hard. I never really liked it before. PTX gave it meaning.

[@ginawhitfield6797]

Hospital for ears. Funny and True

[@onenight0666]

Love your reaction and yes, Mitch has a voice so devastatingly beautiful it makes Angels cry. I'm expecting them to get their 4th grammy for The Prayer. Enjoy your Pentatonix journey.....I'm subbing so I don't miss a reaction!

[@ZoOnTheYT]

oh, man, yeah. I just had to see the tag for this vid, and my thought was...hope he's got a box of tissues nearby. But also know it's good tears, cause he's gonna love it!

[@petityurei7241]

'Run to you' is one of their firts originals and it's also very beautiful and emotional.

[@srslyboomer]

I'm a cynical burned-out old man - and PTX's versions of "Imagine" and "Say Something" *still* make me cry. But in a good-way - can't wait to watch you experience 'em for the first time! All of us Pentaholics are a little sadistic that way, we *love* to watch someone's head asplode the first time they watch on of our favorites :) I appreciate your heartfelt, honest reactions, and the joy you get from watching all these stellar performances warms my heart - thanks so much for sharing with all of us randos out here on the 'net!

I always understood the meaning in the original but the PTX version gets me every single time. You will definitely need a new box of tissues for it.

[@Nancy0341]

​@@GOTGameswhy no more ptx reactions? Love your reactions on them. Love from the Netherlands ❤

[@thechomiji]

Oh, your face when Scott came in! He really is a baritone - he just enjoys singing pop tenor. But the song demanded the lower range, and he delivered. That's what's behind the best Superfruit songs - that contrast. And then Mitch's belting duet with Kirstin in the middle section! Matt's bass is the perfect foundation, you can feel it vibrate - and Kevin is doing full orchestra kettle drums! *ETA* - Now you're ready to watch the mini-documentary The Recording of Evergreen. You need to see Kirstin's face when she hears the initial full cut of this song. They are such sweet, humble folks even after a decade-plus in the public eye.

[@lindathompson5891]

I absolutely love your reactions of Pentitonix!! You're so true to your feelings. I've watched your reactions several times each. Keep up the good work!

[@kathyking3552]

One of the many reasons that I love Pentatonix is because they r so clear n crisp, that they make me feel like I'm hearing the words for the first time

[@maryflorio8450]

You might know this already but Scott, Mitch, and Kirstie started singing in their harmonies in high school. They've perfected the art of harmonizing. When they won the Voice a capella competition Mitch, Kirstie, and Scott were only 19 years old. Their evolution as singers has only begun been astounding. They just keep getting better and better. I love your reactions to PTX.

Pentatonix is just such an amazing group that's managed to gather fans from any and all corners of the music world. I've seen so many people from the widest variety of preferred music genres come together in loving this group's unique sound. For song recommendations going forward, I agree with everyone else's suggestion of Imagine. I'd also highly recommend checking out Love Again and especially their live performance of Aha! in Singapore at the Star Vista hotel. Both will give you a taste of their original music, and both feature Mitch quite a bit, since he seems to be a favorite of yours. Aha specifically showcases just how similar they are to their recordings when singing live, and it's largely regarded as one of the most iconic live performances they've ever had for reasons that would need their own dedicated list. So excited to watch your pentatonix journey 😄

[@rebeccataylor8981]

You're right about the group having fans from around the globe. One of my favorite examples of this is the KZbin video "Tribal People React to Pentatonix Hallelujah," in which villagers from a rural Middle East community watch the Hallelujah vid. They don't speak English (although they do have an interpreter with them), but they're as moved as we are by PTX's body language, facial expressions, harmonies, and emotional voices. Mitch's solo, in particular, struck some of them deeply; they mention how sad his lyrics must be. And again, without understanding the English vocabulary, they're almost cheering at the uplifting ending!
