For those of you who seem unclear, despite the use of the word, hallelujah, it's not a religious nor Christmas song. It's a song of disappointed love.

[@caroleceres]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 just by listening to the lyrics you can tell - but it’s interspersed with biblical (not Christmas) references, but the whole world (maybe not the Middle East), thinks of it as a Christmas song, simply because it’s called Hallelujah.

[@gerardquinn6637]

I KNOW. THANK YOU. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

[@2436golden]

@@caroleceres As a Christian, I have never thought of this as a Christmas song. Maybe it's because I actually listen to the lyrics of songs. lol

[@eme.261]

Never apologize for Kirsty appreciation. As a vocalist, I am also bowled over by her singing. She's stupendously talented. Mitch's talent is shockingly glorious, yes, but Kirsty's is gorgeous They're all incredibly talented, in distinctive ways-- a truly spectacular group of individuals.

[@mrelixertv]

So glad I found them there music is truly one of a kind

[@Stoiccappy]

In my humble, middle aged opinion, PTX cover of "Gold" by Kiiara is absolutely one of the most brilliant performances of theirs I have seen. They're just sitting on a couch together and what they do is mindblowing. You have to watch it several time so you can focus on each one as they do their part. It's amazing and I hope you react to it.

[@mrelixertv]

Ptx gold I just added that to the list

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

@@mrelixertv yes, please do Gold ☀️

[@ClaireBarn]

I hope you listen to the original first so you can appreciate the improvements made by PTX

[@kayecastleman6353]

@@mrelixertv Oh, yes! ""Gold is a one-take masterpiece. And you really do need to listen to the original by Kiiara to appreciate the amazing upgrade PTX gave it. Mitch does a series of vocal chops that Kiiara needed digital help to create.

[@caroleceres]

@@mrelixertv put it to the top of the list! You’ll thank us for it, later. I promise! 🤗😘

[@mary-loulemieux8282]

My fellow Canadian, Leonard Cohen.who wrote this song,said this was the best rendition of his song he had ever heard. He is a musical genius,

[@caroleceres]

Oh I’m so glad that he got to hear and respond to it before he died. When did he say it? On air, or magazine/paper interview? That was so nice of him to say.

[@anneboban2002]

K D Lang, also Canadian, also sings this beautifully.

[@mariamoumtzi1727]

Bass line is always Avi except when he takes the lead. Then Scott takes over. Kevin, the beatboxer, is actually a tenor.

[@maryparker9426]

Kirstin leads beautifully in Say Something, with the added bonus of Kevin on the cello

[@pughead2]

I agree 100%

[@Blackard84]

It's so good, that song is one of those that just destroys me emotionally though.

[@terrycupp6687]

I call “Say Something” devastatingly beautiful, I was so pleased Kirstie had such a prominent lead in the song that showcased her vocals. Such a tender, sad, yet gorgeous song delivered in a typical PTX emotional blanket

[@sersastark]

Avi's basso profundo blowing out people's speakers lol

[@haroldlee1989]

Pentatonix singers are soooooooo gifted

[@mrelixertv]

Facts

[@bradclifton5248]

I'm with you on Kirstie. Hands down, chills everytime she comes into a song.

[@michaelrunnels7660]

If you want to see Dennis the Menace get way out of hand, react to "Aha!, Singapore, The Star Vista." It's low quality taken with a phone from the audience, but it shows what Mitch can do.

[@rebellibrarian]

The official video for "Aha!" Is also awesome and creepy for Halloween time.

[@graceito973]

YES, YES, YES!!! 💖

[@caroleceres]

@@rebellibrarian I agree, but the Star Vista performance is waaay better, because it also has the Avi intro! They show just how amazing they are, when you consider that it’s recorded with a mobile (cell) phone - no fancy AV tech! 🤗

[@rebellibrarian]

@@caroleceres music is a unique experience. I appreciate the skills in the live performance but the overall experience is not as much fun for me. To each, their own. 💓

[@caroleceres]

@@rebellibrarian indeed.

[@monicawilder9411]

"Cut your hair, and broke your throne" refers from the Bible with Samson and Delilah...love your reaction❤

[@suzannebastien2918]

Mitch is a chameleon, always changing. Kirsty changes a lot as well. By the way that's not the highest for Mitch yet! Check out Can you feel the love tonight!

[@mrelixertv]

They just blocked my video ..WOW

[@ruth2141]

@@mrelixertv Yeah, they're gonna block a lot of PTX songs, including the Christmas ones. Please don't get discouraged; I'm loving your reactions. You'll have to try some reactor tricks like putting a filter on the video or pausing a lot. Pentaholics are used to it.

[@ClaireBarn]

And Ah! From Singapore Star Vista concert. I think we generally consider it to be the best of Mitch ever. ❤️ ❤️❤️

[@caroleceres]

@@ClaireBarn yes indeed. Aha! The best performance of the song, although there is an Official Video…

[@michaelf8702]

@@mrelixertv either blur the video or place a graphic over part of it...

[@DougRayPhillips]

The imagery in the second verse is a mixture of Biblical references... part Samson, part King David... and a modern setting.

[@tcith429]

Ahhhh, the Mitch slap. Always good. If you want to see this live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npKpeaWcost7mMU

[@tasia2174]

Since you love Kirstie, I recommend their covers of Shallow, My Favorite Things, and Rather Be, or their originals Be My Eyes, Exit Signs, and It's Different Now. They are all Kirstie leads. 😁

[@rudewalrus5636]

Agree, but you left out Say Something

[@caroleceres]

And Water…

[@jehuxtable]

For your Sunday gospel playlist - "Amazing Grace" by PTX is amazing. It's on mine.

[@vickipeterson9633]

The Basso Profundo you heard is Avi. He's super talented. (They all are) However, I always hear his warm emotional and supportive lows above all. When Avi does his solo Scott takes on the bass. For a live look at them performing Hallelujah that will know your socks off I've provided the link. Hallelujah - Pentatonix (From A Pentatonix Christmas Special) - KZbin

[@misslollaleelou]

Mitch is like a box of chocolates is the best description ever ❤️🤩❤️🤩❤️

[@mrelixertv]

Lol glad you approve ☺️ 😂😂

[@triciamoore5081]

Please treat yourself to ¨Aha¨ - Singapore and hear what Mitch¨Dennis the Menace¨ Grassi did. They are all so special and Kristie always soars. Love your channel, your deepth of knowledge and how much you appreciate terrific talent. Thnx ps - btw, this isn´t really a church song, but is about Leonard Cohenś love affairs.

[@mrelixertv]

I kinda realize that after I went back and listen to it after I did the reaction and I was like it does have a gospel feel to it but this sounds like a twist about a someone

[@Stoiccappy]

Yes the live performance of "Aha!" in Singapore is insane. Recorded on a cellphone and the audio quality isn't the best but it doesn't matter. Avi blows out the speakers with a really low note and Mitch With the Pitch hits a crazy high note!

[@ginahoffsteder2181]

I love them all 😍😍 Scott’s warmth ,and crazy runs ....gives me the feels

[@lexymich3647]

You do not know how excited I am that you want to do your a mean one mister Grinch!! Matt leads the entire song and plays it up the entire time!!! All of the rest do a phenomenal job as well. Dennis the menace has this bleck...yuck noise he does that is hilarious!! I can't wait to see it.

[@tomswo4979]

With you being a big Kirstie fan you should watch their cover of seasons of love. By far my favorite performance from her and her best imo. Love the vids keep it up!

[@caroleceres]

Yes! Yes! Yes! They performed it at this year’s (2021) Rockerfella Centre Annual bash.

[@thechomiji]

It's not a religious song, except in that religion is often all through what people do. Although the lines about breaking a throne and cutting hair *could* be construed as references to the Old Testament. Kirsten has "a voice like a blade," to use the words if an Italian vocal coach who did some very detailed analyses of this and a couple of other PTX songs. The contrast of Avi and Mitch (and later on, Matt and Mitch) is something that PTX likes to use for drama. Yes, it's not hard for Mitch to do that! I really appreciate the comparison to Andre 3000 - so many people don't even want to try to understand Mitch. Do check out Say Something and Shallow - they are great Kirstin showcases (and both also feature Kevin and his cello).

[@mrelixertv]

I realized it on my second listen that it sounds more of a lovers song

[@erikkemp171]

Yo, since you’re a Kirstie fan check out their Cover of Say Something. She leads that song…beautiful.

[@mrelixertv]

Say no more

[@terrycupp6687]

Yes!! “Say Something” is Kirstie on full display using most of her vocal register and especially highlighting her ability to impart heavy emotional expression…. it’ll rip your heart out……

[@rosannafuentes9655]

The Prayer is a must Mitch is out standing Feel the love Kirstie is amazing

[@butchdecker9104]

The confusing lyrics are Old Testament references to Sampson and Delilah and also David and Bathsheba. In both cases "love" turns out to be rather destructive.

[@mrelixertv]

I like that summary right there great way to explain it BUTCH

[@susanstein6604]

Kevin, the beatboxer, is a tenor and plays the cello.

[@AngelaCharsha]

The live version of this from their Christmas special is just as amazing!! And that bass line is Avi through most of the song, but Scott when Avi is singing. And your Mitch Slapped facec is great!

[@carolscott1686]

Thanks for reacting to PTX. You should definitely add their cover of Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone to your Sunday playlist.( and react to it so we can enjoy it with you) It is just awesome!

[@autaum6536]

People always have to pop up to tell that it's not a "religious" song...I think it's what ever YOU want it to be.......

[@mrelixertv]

That is a good point (perspectives)

[@ptxlover6878]

Great reaction! I have to giggle each time you call Mitch a problem child or Dennis the Menace, that's really cute! He never fails to amaze me and I second the recommendation for "Gold", it's mindblowing.. and I wanna add "Problem", if you haven't done it yet

[@kayecastleman6353]

Another great PTX reaction! Am enjoying your appreciation of their music more and more. Hope you will be doing some of their Christmas music, where they take standard carols and put their own unmistakable spin on them. A couple of my favourites are Little Drummer Boy and O Come All Ye Faithful.

[@mrelixertv]

I can't wait for the holiday season so I can react to them

[@caroleceres]

Deck The Halls is lovely, but my year round favourite is Joy To The World! I play it every week. 🤗

[@anessalyn1035]

there is a live version of this performance, you should check it out. Also, their video Imagine originally done by John Lennon of the Beatles. They do a fantastic job with the Grinch.

[@tajaybarker7184]

I think you should check out seasons of love live fourth of july your gonna 6 coats for that one if you really love Kirstie 😂😂🥴🔥

[@jerolddavis]

Yes!! The look to the camera is my favorite Mitch-slap moment. That subtle "Are you all kidding me right now?" 😂🥰

[@melissacoviello2886]

I die laughing every time you call Mitch a problem child.

[@Quincysof]

One of my favorites for sure. Check out "Amazing Grace" too❤

[@mrelixertv]

I think I have that in my playlist

[@Mreffs101]

So happy the thing you mentioned you liked so much about Mitch is his fashion sense!

[@jenniferyoung8551]

You should also check out Kirstie's solo work, like Naked and Break A Little

[@barbarafrederick5158]

"Mitch-slapped"!

[@mrelixertv]

Facts

[@RT-mn2pb]

Yeah the baselines are Avi

[@cindymartin2820]

You should go back and watch their performances on the sing off

[@mrelixertv]

Think I will do that

[@androcus1]

It is always fun watching the faces of reactors when Mitch blows their minds!! That is why it is called being Mitch slapped!!!

[@mrelixertv]

With all five fingers 😆

[@caroleceres]

When you do Christmas - start with their Mary Did You Know. It’s the original PTX lineup and I’m sure that that’s what confirmed in their minds that they can own the Christmas season music genre! And they DO Own It!! 😄🤗

[@dianneburns6003]

Had to join your sight I love Pentatonic

[@mrelixertv]

Welcome to the fam thank you so much ...

[@mrelixertv]

Yea I had someone messing with my mic equipment and I had to do some lil restructuring

[@jenellienostrabo]

I doubt you come back to read comments now. But, Broke his throne and cut his hair, is a reference to Samson and Delilah. Although this is not strictly a religious song if you read the lyrics.

[@mrelixertv]

I read most (attempt) to read all my comments...may not get to answer all back lol gets a lot to keep up with but I am always in learning mode ... appreciate you sharing that info I literally did not pick up on that

[@Jancoulson]

I enjoy your reactions so much. I appreciate you.

"Mitch..MItch...what you dping?" The answer is Mitch Slapping you :D :D :D

[@mrelixertv]

Facts lol

[@yvonnemcmahan9037]

The verse about broke your throne & cut your hair is in the Bible about Sampson

[@DreyRose-sh1hg]

Have you noticed that Avi (Original base) kinda looks likeJesus from the movies? 😊 Jus saying

[@mrelixertv]

I never noticed til i went back and watch

[@lexymich3647]

How did I miss this notification??? Was it taken down and re-uploaded? I'm going to have to check your channel more often. You are in my top 5 favorite reactors. Mitch has unbelievable vocal control and all of ptx has talked about that. If they ever think they might be off pitch live they said they listen for Mitch.

[@Spartan_777]

Someone else has probably already mentioned this, but they have a live version of this that is arguably better.

[@luckywanderer5107]

Good reaction

[@PMJonte]

I love your reactions to PTX. Technical issue: there is a very noticeable echo in your audio mix.

[@mrelixertv]

Yes hopefully I got the problem fully sorted out had some of the young ones messing around with my mic while I was away

[@graceito973]

Not sure if it's just me, but I'm hearing a little bit of echo when you're talking on this video...

[@mrelixertv]

There is a slight echo had to readjust my mic 🎤

[@newgrl]

Although this song uses the word "Hallelujah", this is not a religious song at all. The writer of this song, Leonard Cohen, was a self-avowed atheist. And while there is some religious imagery in this song, especially in the first couple of verses, it's all mixed-up. Cohen described the meaning of his lyrics like this: “This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can… reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that’s what I mean by ‘Hallelujah’. The song explains that many kinds of hallelujahs do exist, and all the perfect and broken hallelujahs have equal value. It’s a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion.”

[@susanstein6604]

Hallelujah isn’t a Christmas song, it’s not even a Christian song. Leonard Cohen, the songwriter, was Jewish.

[@sweetcontrol2743]

Sampson and Deliha, she cut Sampson hair and he lost his power given by God

[@danamorrow8030]

Dude You a Steelers Fan?

[@mrelixertv]

Yes I am ...im still somewhat of a newbie to football tho just start watching about 6 years ago and it's was the Steelers that made me want to learn the game and got me excited to watch ...I was always more of an NBA only person but now I'm definitely into football

[@cindyshawver9986]

My man, this song sounds beautiful and i love it, but it doesn't go on a Christmas playlist or a religious playlist. This song is actually the opposite of that. Google if this song is a Christmas song and you will see.

[@mrelixertv]

After I took a 2nd listen after my reaction vid I kinda heard the difference in the song meaning as well

[@MidoriDad]

Can you react to Sign of the times Harry Styles Cover by Kevin Olusola (PTX beat boxer)

[@Fairplayer43]

This song was not famous when it was first made. Is based in old stories from the bible when people that even though they were weak and troubled they were still able to pull out a faith filled "Halleluiah" of hope. A hope that says that everything will be ok at the end. So as in our situations of weakness and sin we must have the same fortitude to trust God with the same Halleluiah of hope. As to say to the kings of kings that we trust his will. Verses were added through time to this song. It evolved... Much later from it's creation is when the song took form and people understood and immortalized these words in song.

[@vickimoran1349]

Why do you call Mitch Dennis the Menace?

[@mrelixertv]

I call him a problem child because he is that talented 😆 it's just literally for entertainment purpose the ptx fans understand I mean nothing slandering by it and not replace he fact that I don't know his name is Mitch ....and if you remember Dennis was a menace basically what Mitch's voice does to these tracks lol 😆 be a PROBLEM but in a good way

[@vickimoran1349]

@@mrelixertv Not sure I get the correlation between his extreme talent and pain in the ass Dennis the Menace, but your appreciation for his amazing talent is evident. I guess we all put our thoughts into words in different ways. Your reactions are always very interesting, informed, and full of feeling. Thanks for that, and keep them coming!!
