O HOLY NIGHT - Pentatonix | CHRISTMAS REACTION 15

[@berlyn3014]

This is my favorite version. The cry in Matt's voice touches my soul. I also think this is the best Kirstin has sounded. I just love this version.

[@lovesmusic0845]

One of their greatest performances IMO. Scott’s theatrics are exactly who he is in real life. He likes to get dramatic for the videos but that’s just part of his personality. I’ve watched enough interviews and behind the scenes documentaries of them to get a picture of how they react in most situations. He’s a big personality. This song was perfectly arranged for them. Scott’s intro set up for Matt to take off with his soulfulness. Mitch and Kirstie bounced off each other vocally. Great harmonies built to let Kirstie belt out the mind blowing finish with Scott softening the ending. Kevin throughout kept the percussion strong and fleshed out the harmonies beautifully. It was shot simply but effectively to showcase the vocals. They are reaching vocal maturity it sounds like to me. This performance was shot in 2023 which most of them are 30ish. I can tell a difference in their vocal strength and confidence.

I Truly believe the Greastest that could have happened to PTX is Marr coming on board to be their 5th member. This man is sooo incredibly talented and brought so much to the table with his amazing skills. I just feel they have cme together on a whole nother level. I don't think most people have a clue to how he contributes to PTX on so much of his music skills. I "LOVE" MATT‼️💯💝💝💝💝

[@pjb3583]

There’s no way to rave too much about this rendition of O Holy Night! It’s just awe-inspiring all over the place. Their voices have matured, I think, giving them a new resonance that just blows me away, Kirstie and Scott especially and with a major nod to Matt. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, Mr. Viking. I’m counting this as a gift. Peace …

[@Badger77722]

Viking: "But PTX...this...just...WOW!" Yep, that pretty much sums up every song that PTX has ever done!

[@denisetownsend9928]

I did not think they could ever top Alelujah,but they did! This was spectacular ! Just stunning!

[@LauraMLittle]

For me, it was Scott, touch your soul kirstie's belt was beautiful but for me I cried for Scott. God bless you be happy and healthy and have a happy holiday season 🎅🎄😇

[@tamaraengelberger5928]

Matt's part is my FAVORITE in this song, love it so much!!

[@ronswinford4952]

It is an amazing job on this song. They all shine, Matt is amazing, Mitch is great, Kirstin is not having to belt at the top of her range, so she can add some color to her parts, and Scott doing what he does best. Kevin fills in some harmonies and his beat is wonderful. The end is special as well.

[@mel3268]

The video is stunning. Definitely a must see experience. They have grown and matured immeasurably over the years. I get so upset when commenters say they haven’t listened to PTX since Avi left. 😢

[@kristipierce4735]

This is a STUNNING MASTERPIECE and the best version ever (and one of my favorites of everything they’ve produced)! They all look GORGEOUS as well. I will never get tired of this version. They are definitely “just frickin’ wow” and more.

[@nolaknowles9888]

This is my all-time favorite by Pentatonix. Ever.

[@kurtfroberg3608]

Great reaction, bud- and that part toward the end when Scott is absolutely roaring? Such a powerhouse of a moment! 🤘🏾

[@fernandosbabe]

Scott is very animated because he feels the music. He can’t help himself, it’s the music in him, literally. I do the same thing, at home or in my car, by myself because Scott or any other member I am not 😂

[@Jumanji7218]

O holy night was written by Placide Cappeau, an atheist, and the music was composed by Adolphe Adam, a Jew and sung by Christians

[@melissacoviello2886]

An absolute masterpiece and it’s such a shame it didn’t win a Grammy! It should’ve been put up by itself.

[@MamieBelle775]

Their voices are all definitely maturing and in the best possible ways!

[@chuckmccaslandsr.8859]

Scoty was awesome, and matt blew the roof off, and Kristy blew the walls completely apart! 😊😊😊

[@NativeTexan-fm5dy]

Epic performance. Incredible harmonies (no surprise there). And a great reaction.

[@BrendaKruger-o5n]

Absolutely unbelievable this was otherworldly. I can believe any human could do this. Thank you viking.❤ mary b.

[@xbubblehead]

Another one slayed and put in the catalog of the exceptional.

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

They lost so many great songs by Ptx, I love Avi and his voice, and what he did for Ptx in his years, but Matt, is incredible, yes he isnt the lowest bass, but he could go very high, and he works very well with Ptx

[@daleenengelbrecht4861]

We Pentaholics don't mind . Can listen to them all day. Terrific!! Tx for this. Greetings from South Africa

[@shilohauraable]

Isn't this video just beautiful? ❤️

[@VikingReacts]

It is absolutely stunning!

[@AuntDandy]

They sing this like they grew up in church & love the Lord with all their hearts!💜💜💜

[@avaboatright2156]

Yeah ok 😂

[@patriciashaw6791]

I don't often get the "goose bumps" but when a song really hit the feels, I feel it in my upper chest as a tightness that almost take my breath away and unabashedly the tears start to flow. This song has always been one of those and this rendition is one of the best I've heard.

[@BethVargas-uw6qq]

I so, so love your reaction, Sir Viking. I appreciate this mv more because of what you've pointed out

[@madenabyss6981]

They upgraded their upgrade I absolutely love this version so beautifully done❤

[@vanessa4u4evr]

They knocked this one out the park. Home run. ❤

[@patbrewer4205]

If You don’t get emotional from this song your already dead it always brings a tear to my eye everytime

[@rachel_lee_123]

Your reactions to PTX are always my favorite. Thank you for this-and happy holidays!

[@Gwennedd]

Always love your commentary and enthusiasm...and this "experience" didn't disappoint. Thanks for doing this...twice. This piece by them never gets old as far as I'm concerned.

[@carolaO-v2d]

Thank you Viking for another wonderful reaction to O Holy Night by Pentatonix. Your voices harmonize so well together, great. Now 15 doors of the Advent calendar are open and I'm excited to see what's next. I wish everyone a wonderful 3rd Advent.

[@davidbangtson3109]

Your reaction was just exactly what I would have wanted it to be! Amazing performances always get to me as well.

[@ehcimocs2364]

Wonderful reaction. I am in full agreement with you!

[@ShinyElfriend]

Yep, that was about the reaction I had when I first heard and saw this. too. Loved to be here for it!

[@Anna-xx1lv]

The video does add so much! Seeing them! ❤️

[@londonpaul100]

I've so missed your Pentatonix reactions. Touring and life has meant very few new Pentatonix releases as of late. If you haven't heard, Scott released a song a few months ago. It's called "Rose Without the Thorns". It features sage and Tonality. It has been nominated for a Grammy. And it is an experience that I think will show how Scott continues to grow and progress. Please react to the version that has a deep blue background and Scott is in red in front of a red rose. Thx.

[@PatriciaFralick-w7t]

WOW!!!!! This was spectacular and a great experience. Thank you for a great reaction. Merry Christmas

[@louellamoyer5578]

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you for this! This reaction was phenomenal! Good to see you react to PTX!

[@DHRadioGal]

Goosebumps upon goosebumps….love them! ❤

[@ellaenman4049]

Matt and Kirstie are so good in this one

[@Fairburne69]

@ellaenman4049 I agree those are the 2 standouts in this but an honorable mention has to go to Scott for giving it everything he has. Sooo good.

[@donnapatelmo316]

Scott blew me away too in this song .. they took us to church ⛪️

[@dwfarr]

An experience. Well put. Looking forward to the rest of your calendar.

[@davephillips7209]

[@umarae27]

[@simsweechuah9753]

What a glorious video. This is also my favorite version of this song

[@rose-hk5pm]

Oh WOW amazing

[@berg220-t5o]

I experience more through your reactions than I would viewing on my own. Thank you for that Viking!😯

[@michellebarry1555]

I find myself holding my breath at the end because of the long note by Kirstie. This video is stunning!

[@jeanninecherene8168]

Love this version. Love your reactions❤

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

Matt and Kirstin part are my favorite, but I love Scott raspi voice, is so smooth and incredible, and one more time I am marvel by the way Mitch and Kirstin switch place and they dont miss a beat

[@donnagardner3138]

[@graceito973]

[@rosemariediamond5948]

[@ArthurOfThePond]

Kirstie sounds like Edith Piaf and I'm loving it

[@lauracosta4181]

Hi Viking unfortunately I couldn't get on the live stream it said it was down or moved permanently, but I loved it, the harmonies everything was great. Thank you

[@margretrosenberg420]

Pentatonix published "O Holy Night" in 2012, on their first Christmas album, "PTXmas." Have you noticed that Pentatonix has published a *lot* of Christmas albums? Well, so has Pentatonix. More specifically, Pentatonix has noticed that they're running out of Christmas songs they haven't already covered, but it's hard to break with tradition; they don't want to stop publishing Christmas albums. What to do, what to do? 🤔 Okay, obviously it was time to write some more Christmas songs. So Kirstin and Kevin came up with "Please, Santa, Please." Good. One down, how many more to go? *Thirty?* Oh dear. Hmmm. Clearly *that* isn't a complete solution. Time for a Google search. "Songs that talk about snow." Great! Let's add "Kiss From a Rose." Now we're down to twenty-nine. Drat! Okay, you know what guys? We're just going to have to make it a compilation album this year. We can call it "Greatest Christmas Hits." So that's what they did. But when it came to "O Holy Night" they realized that they could do it a lot better now than they did in 2012, especially since they can make use of Matt's incredible range, so they re-recorded it. Good idea; I think this song is Grammy-worthy, though I doubt that RCA submitted it. And unfortunately, as of 2024 it looks like they've given up entirely on Christmas albums. Now that they have a new publisher, though (according to a comment I saw yesterday), I have my fingers crossed for next year.

[@charlottevan_8]

To take you on a bit of a detour, you've expressed appreciation for Avi Kaplan's voice in the past, so here's his take on "O Holy Night". During his Winter 2022 US tour, he had to postpone the 3 Texas shows due to a family emergency. Those shows (Dallas, Houston and Austin) were rescheduled to the end of the tour, mid-December, and as a thank you to those fans for their understanding and patience, he threw together this arrangement on the fly, and he and his band performed it as the final encore at the 3 shows, delighting the audiences with the Texas twist he gave the arrangement. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5TZk2WnhLpjpZI

[@wwoodall54]

You should do their new Christmas song and video MEET ME NEXT CHRISTMAS

[@karinkrenn]

Powerful variations in this version - and interesting outfits (for a moment I thought I see Freddie Mercury in a bathrobe 🙃)

[@unimatrix0169]

Matt was singing like Jesus Crist just came down from heaven and saved his live right there on the spot.

[@lindaosmon5224]

Matt's dad is a Pastor so Matt grew up in the church singing.

[@glensmith6842]

Viking, if you liked Scott here I don't think you have done 'kissed by a rose' that they did a little while back. I think you might be pleased

[@ilzelia4383]

REAJA AO GABRIEL HENRIQUE COM A MÚSICA OH HOLY NIGHT CANTANDO COM A ORQUESTRA DA ROMÊNIA NESSR DIA ELE EDTAVA DOENTE COM INFECÇÃO NA GARGANTA MESMO ASSIM FOI UM SHOW

[@SusanMusser643]

Replay crew here.

[@patrinaoliver3412]

Can you react to katrina velarde version of ih holy night

[@LadyShar]

Hunger Games 2 BIGGER and HUNGRIER 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@julietmcgurk5105]

Really not the best version I have heard of this Holy carol

[@VikingReacts]

Comparison is the killer of enjoyment. But… indeed. I’ve heard versions I enjoyed more or as much. But in a reaction I don’t compare. I look at this video and nothing else. And this version… is very good.
