Grown-Up Christmas List ft. Kelly Clarkson - Pentatonix REACTION

[@richardh776]

Kelly is perfect. Kelly can't help it, she just has a perfect powerful voice.

[@loriloy7097]

All I can think of is how wonderful it was for all of them to sing together they all respect each other so much!

[@sarcasmxkate]

To ask Kelly Clarkson to not be Kelly Clarkson is like asking PTX to not be PTX. They're unique artists that have lasted as long as they have because they do things that not everyone else does. If this had been softer, it wouldn't have been Kelly. Kelly doesn't over sing. She never has. She's operatically trained, which explains her power. She knows how to use her voice and when to use it. Your opinion is yours and valid for you though.

[@rahulvaswani749]

There was no over singing on Kelly’s part. You have obviously never seen a Christina Aguilera performance. Kelly’s vocal delivery was precise, controlled. She went high when she needed to towards the end to give it that oomph. And PTX beautifully supported her with background harmonies

[@jdove1977]

Kelly was perfect. As was Pentatonics. I wouldn’t want this any other way

[@lindabrewer3243]

LOL....That is laid back and calm for Kelly.

[@FearFanatic86]

Haha, THIS comment 😁 I was about to say...that was actually her holding back lol

[@Bonofox1]

👏Kelly is such a huge PENTATONIX fan! She says when she found out about them several years back she binge watched all their videos! They have been friends FOR YEARS!💗

[@nathanielgilliland9939]

Kelly recorded a solo version of this song the year after she won American Idol. She starts out noticably softer in that version; it's pretty much exactly what you wanted from this version. Even if you don't make a reaction video for that rendition, at least give it a listen, because I guarantee that you'll like it.

[@larrywt656]

This is a collaboration that was destined to be. Scott, Kirstie & Mitch were all BIG Kelly Clarkson fans in the early days of the Trio. After PTX became successful, they were all surprised to find out that Kelly was one of THEIR biggest fans. After they appeared on Kelly's talk show, they all became good friends...so it was just a matter of time before a collab would happen. This was shot at the time when Kirstie had her broken leg. But she was a trooper and went on tour with the group anyway! BTW, this was originally a studio recording by them that was rearranged and re-recorded for a TV/video special called A Not So Silent Night...so it's not a real live recording. The intention in this version was to showcase Kelly more as she was a special guest in the show.

[@arthuroliveira864]

They actually toured together long before she had a talk show! They opened for her :)

[@renee176]

Everybody has their own opinion, and you're entitled to yours too. For me I love her singing her original song with the PTX, her voice is great. This song just makes me cry, its my wish too for the world's future! 😊

[@trinityplayer12]

Kelly was awesome

[@Ptxlive]

I am glad you pointed out about matts bass. He does generally arrange bass lines that are more conservative and arguably more mature. He doesn’t add things like Subharmonic or growls. He has a much more traditional sound. I think also with PTX touring so much he makes bass lines that are very accessible all the time and that he can project loud enough that’s dont get drowned out live. He has lower notes than he gives us most the time, but saves them for special occasions!

[@shortybarnesyanik]

Oh this one makes me cry every time I hear it on the cd in my car. I try to sing along but end up in tears. Kelly Clarkson and PTX really smashed this one out of the park!

[@jaredchee9822]

Best version of this song hands down!!!

[@LisaS-ul6vx]

This is YOUR reaction, so you should give your honest opinion without worrying about people being upset. (Coming from someone who totally disagrees with you on this one! ;-))

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

You have every right to speak your opinions and preferences! I don't necessarily agree, but that is what is beautiful, we don't have to! I enjoyed your reaction and hearing your viewpoint. Merry Christmas!

[@mumuniamida7815]

I see this is your first Kelly Clarkson video reaction, maybe if you watch more performances you'll change your mind. But she recently told bon jovi when he guested on her show because she covered his song that same day that she usually has to raise the key of songs she covers because she's a first soprano and that's where she's comfortable singing on even if she tries to sing it softly she still has to raise it. It probably didn't work in this scenario because they're generally soft singers and she's nowhere soft

[@ankhgirl3]

Oh Matt is right!! He sounded so good.

[@lvw7668]

Awwww...I loved this and found the forward placement of Kelly’s powerhouse voice beautiful so gotta agree to disagree on that one 😏 but agree with you 100% about Matt. ❤️.

[@paulinejane9742]

Well I love it 🙄

[@fredneckteddy]

PTX did spend some time on tour with Kelly and it really is a treat seeing them all sing together. Kelly is definitely a belter but something tells me that whoever produced this may have tweaked the mics a bit to make her stand out in the forefront. It was like Kelly and the pips LOL

[@andrewhilbert1]

Sorry bro. But Kelly killed this. If she undersang it would have been boring.

[@TheJeffManno]

Your reaction is interesting. Your positive response re: the vocals in the a cappella vocals shows that you are least interested in interpretation of lyrics and different colors in the vocal. Some people really get moved by the choices in a singers interpretation and others listen to it kind of in the background and don’t really think about it. Different strokes.

[@erikdarman591]

Tou got a thump up, but it could allso have been down, for you are right about Kelly and her voice, you can't hear what she is singing, we have i Denmark a name for that, en "skrigeskinke" (a "screaming ham") and she has to know it, for the future songs. ;-)

[@ellaalbios4806]

Why, should we be upset? This is just your honest opinion!

[@KingFamilyReacts]

I've seen others get reemed for "negative" remarks. I try not to say anything negative.

[@ellaalbios4806]

@@KingFamilyReactsBut what you said is true about big belty singers!. She made it seem like they were her background singers when she was supposed to be featured on Their song.

[@kloud1972]

@@ellaalbios4806 PTX are the ones who arranged this song, so if you have a problem with the way it was done it's all on them, not Kelly

[@ellaalbios4806]

@@kloud1972Don't get it twisted. I love Kelly Clarkson. Been watching her since American Idol and have been following the Pentatonix since the Sing Off not online but the real on on NBC. Mr. King was saying that he thought that you should of heard more of the Pentatonix like in the song Jolene with Dolly Parton. At least Mr. King didn't have to take the heat you are trying to give me. It was just his and my opinion of This Song.

[@bethcoussou]

No worries on your opinion about Kelly’s style of singing this cover! It is your channel and I love Kelly, but I tend to agree with you a teensy bit. I remember Amy Grant’s version and hers was a more tender vocal. PTX was amazing, as always!!

[@kirioes]

You know I’m always early 😂👍🏻💯

[@bartonbagnes4605]

A Not So Silent Night is actually a TV Christmas special. It included appearances by Jay Leno and Kermit the Frog and of course Kelly Clarkson, to name a few. I agree with you. The way a song is sung can completely change the mood. It can cast a spell or break it. The instruments used can also make or break a song.

[@wolffox6nation975]

Love you video

[@alankadair]

For one, I prefer the Maren Morris and PTX "When you Believe." I think that was one of the best songs from the Christmas special. I felt that Kelly overpowered the harmonies of Pentatonix. Hope you will check this one out.

[@ashleysheree7057]

Love this song. O Holy Night by VoicePlay and Rachel Potter would be a good one to react to it you haven't seen it. It's beautiful!

[@richhatheway4114]

Literally how could she have started softer? Really idiotic critique, dude.

[@renesalinas9108]

This is an example of someone who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. Sure, music is subjective. But stupid is not.

[@boba.7108]

By far, my favorite version of Grown-Up Christmas List is Voctave''s: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6aoaYKQrdaKbLs

[@nicholasw.3488]

Can you react to "Ref" from PTX's Self Titled album, there's no video though

[@ricshome1]

Not that its bad but you have such great voices in PTX and not to use them just a little is a shame like Dolly did in Jolene

[@gladyshernandez1033]

You were right. I didn't like it. Why PTX was the chorus back up only?

[@mazcolyer1972]

I agree I think we are use to seeing ptx come in soft and then explodes into it lol Matt sounds amazing he sure does need more credit thank you for your honest opinion on this one it has always been one I'm not 100% on and I love ptx and Kelly is amazing singer to Kirstin defo would of sounded better as lead for sure 😁

[@davidbangtson3109]

I must admit that, as nice as this is, it is my least favorite Christmas song involving PTX.

[@claudi4389]

You should watch more live stuff! Matts bass sounds always better in live videos than in the recordings IMO. I dont like most of the collaborations of PTX as its always only them in the backround. Dont like that song either.

[@Ptxlive]

AGREED! Live god rest ye Merry gentlemen last Christmas in GMA was amazing especially

[@Ptxlive]

Or this daft punk live is epic kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKuXdHmbjKece7M

[@claudi4389]

I usually dont like smartphone recordings. Was searching for the GMA performance but I think the channel got deleted. It sadly also had the Here comes Santa Claus performance which I loved. Here is another video of this performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHyUc4pjhJeSfpo

[@dangdang4334]

Friendly reminder that in every PtX song, 4 of the 5 members are singing back ground at any particular moment

[@sherryhall3635]

This won't be on my Christmas list. Too loud...harsh. Except for the PTX portion. Yeah Matt1 Great reaction - Totally agree.

[@FearFanatic86]

Maybe you'd prefer Taylor Swift LOL
